The carriage moved forward slowly and drove out of the main gate of Zongzheng Temple.

Xu Yi slowly stood up and moved to the rear of the carriage.

Open the curtain and look at the main entrance of Zongzheng Temple, which is getting further away.

The cold wind in the early morning poured into the car along the curtains.

The blow blew up Xu Yi's black hair.

There were a few scattered strands of black hair covering his slightly pale cheeks.

It makes the whole person reveal a deep sense of vicissitudes and sadness.

"As long as my second uncle is here, you just have to give it a try."

At some point, Xu Zhen quietly walked up to Xu Yi and patted Xu Yi hard on the shoulder.

The words are full of domineering and natural.

"It's still early, second uncle, it's better to rest for a while."

Turning to look at the slightly haggard Xu Zhen, Xu Yi changed the topic.

"After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, there will be a court meeting. I don't know when this discussion will end."

"Yier, please rest in the carriage for a while."

"Don't think so much, my second uncle is here."

Xu Zhen bent over and walked back to the car, leaning on the soft surface of the car.

He pointed at another soft piece beside him.

Xu Yi nodded slightly.

Not much was said, it was too early to say anything now.

He stood up and walked towards Xu Zhen, closing his eyes and resting beside Xu Zhen.

The carriage moved forward smoothly.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The carriage that was originally moving smoothly gradually slowed down.

Xu Yi, who was closing his eyes to rest, couldn't help but open his eyes.

Open the car window next to you and look out at the scenery outside the car window.

I don't know when the sky has turned bright.

The streets where the carriages traveled were already blocked.

A group of soldiers wearing armor were busy shuttling between luxury carriages.

He kept bending down and saying nice words to the owner in the carriage to clear the traffic jam.

Obviously, the people riding in the carriage were all big shots that they soldiers could not afford to offend.

Xu Yi put down the car curtain and shook his head slightly.

Under the emperor's feet, these officials are already so arrogant.

One can imagine what the scenery will look like when the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Through the dredging of soldiers.

After a while, the carriage continued to move forward slowly.

It's just that the speed at this time can't be compared to before.

Chenshi.

When the sun just shines on the earth.

There was a loud noise outside the carriage.

At this moment, the six carriages came to a complete stop.

"Master, the Sixth Prince is here."

The respectful words of the driver came from outside the carriage.

"Second uncle, wake up, we have arrived at the Temple of Heaven."

Xu Yi heard this and gently pushed Xu Zhen, who had fallen asleep at some point.

"Hmm? Are we here yet?"

Xu Zhen agreed vaguely, then stood up slowly and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"We've arrived at the Temple of Heaven."

Xu Yi picked up the teapot in the carriage and poured Xu Zhen a glass of water.

"Second uncle, drink some water to relieve your drowsiness."

It would be bad if Xu Zhen snores during the heaven-sacrifice ceremony.

Even if he is the Qizhu Prince, it is inevitable that he will be impeached by the lunatics at Yushitai.

Xu Zhen took the water and drank it in one gulp, which relieved the confusion of just waking up.

"Let's go."

Xu Zhen put down the teacup and said calmly.

Xu Yi nodded and helped Xu Zhen out of the carriage.

As soon as the two stepped out of the carriage, they attracted countless sizing eyes.

Most of his eyes were focused on Xu Yi, who was wearing a black python robe.

"snort."

Xu Zhen snorted coldly and stepped forward, blocking the others' naked eyes.

"nothing."

Xu Yi took a step forward and avoided Xu Zhen's protection.

If you can't even bear this pressure, how can you leave Zongzheng Temple?

As soon as I got off the carriage, I was suddenly stared at by so many eyes.

It really made Xu Yi feel a little bit uncomfortable.

But soon, the uncomfortable feeling was deeply suppressed by Xu Yi.

Xu Yi looked around intently.

The morning sun shines on every corner of the Temple of Heaven.

It seems that the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City is coated with a layer of golden silk.

At the edge of the endless steps, every three steps, a Mingguang warrior holding a spear stood majestically.

The golden light of the early morning shines on the golden armor of the Mingguang warriors. At a glance, they really feel like soldiers and generals from heaven.

It is full of majesty and solemnity.

At the bottom of the steps, countless civil and military officials were divided into small groups one after another.

They lowered their heads and whispered to each other.

Those appraising glances just now were looking from the direction of these small groups.

Just as Xu Yi silently recorded the appearance of every owner who looked at him.

Suddenly, several men in armor came from a distance.

The leader is wearing a purple gold crown, bright silver mountain armor, and a large white cloak behind him.

If it weren't for the large amount of gray hair between the temples, there would be layers of wrinkles on his face.

He can really be regarded as a white-robed young general.

"General Li Guangli."

While Xu Yi was silently sizing things up, Xu Zhen's whisper suddenly came to his ears.

General Li Guangli was born into a family of generals, and his father Li Tong had followed former General Zhao Qing.

He participated in the decisive battle of Mobei and was seriously injured in his class. Three years later, he died in the capital due to the recurrence of old injuries.

With the death of the last high-ranking general in the decisive battle of Mobei, Emperor Zhengde established the post of general again after three years.

The person who took over the position of general was Li Tong's son Li Guangli.

Xu Yi couldn't help but think of all the information he had read about General Li Guangli.

The reason why Xu Yi pays special attention to Li Guangli is that he is the person who succeeded General Zhao Qing.

There is a deeper reason.

That is, Li Guangli also has the status of uncle.

The sister of one of his compatriots is Concubine Li, who is in charge of the harem today.

His nephew is surprisingly the current prince Xu Yong.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengde's reign, the decisive battle of Mobei broke out, and General Zhao Qing led his troops to the expedition.

In February of the following year, General Zhao Qing and ninety-six children of the Zhao family died in battle.

Three years later, in the 19th year of Zhengde's reign, Li Guangli took over the post of general.

In the twenty-first year of Zhengde's reign, the witchcraft disaster broke out, shocking the entire government and the public.

The former prince Xu An and his biological mother, Queen Zhao, hanged themselves and Xu Yi was imprisoned in Youningyuan of Zongzheng Temple.

This began a career of eight-year confinement.

In the twenty-seventh year of Zhengde, one month before Xu Yi traveled through time, Xu Yong was canonized as the crown prince.

Is all this too much of a coincidence?

Why did the Li family become the biggest beneficiaries of the witchcraft disaster?

Is the witchcraft disaster related to the Li family?

Why was Li Guangli canonized as a military general after the death of his father Li Tong?

Why did it happen after Li Tong died? Rather than before Li Tong's death?

What role did Li Tong play in the decisive battle in Mobei?

Xu Yi shook his head, shook off the confusion in his mind, and tried to regain his composure.

It is the behavior of a smart person to remain suspicious of anyone without evidence.

But if you bite people indiscriminately to establish yourself as an external enemy without any evidence, that would be the behavior of a fool.
