royal palace.
Li Yuanxian personally greeted Zhen Beigong outside the palace gate.
Today is the day that Li Qian moves into the Hou Mansion, and it is also the day that Zhen Beigong enters Beijing.
Even Li Yuanxian was a bit slanderous. Li Qian chose today to officially move into the Hou Mansion 80% of the time on purpose.
Even if your merits are not small, you can't steal the limelight from Zhenbei Gong.
Of course, he still sent someone to send a generous gift to Li Qian, which also showed that he, the emperor, valued the Marquis of Anding.
"Your Majesty, Su Yong, is here to see you!"
With gray hair and a stooped figure, this is the famous Zhenbeigong.
But even Li Yuanxian had a sense of oppression in his killing aura. This was an aura that could only be soaked in after long-term battlefield and bloody battles.
"Su Qing, please get up quickly." Li Yuanxian said in person, "I have held a banquet in the palace to welcome Su Qing and cleanse her from the dust!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhenbei Gong said.
Li Yuanxian and Zhenbeigong entered the palace hand in hand. After entering the palace, all the officials also expressed their greetings to Zhenbeigong.
The third prince, Prince Jing, is certainly an example.
"Grandpa!" Prince Jing bowed.
"This is the palace, and I am a minister. Your Highness, please do not differentiate between the king and his ministers." Zhenbei Gongdao.
"What Duke Zhenbei said is absolutely true, but I was negligent." Prince Jing said.
"It is said that the newly promoted Marquis of Anding is very talented, why don't we see him?" Duke Zhenbei, who was always his grandson, couldn't help but ask after nodding to Prince Jing.
"He should not be free today. If Duke Zhenbei wants to see him, I can make arrangements for him," Prince Jing said.
"Okay, do what you should do. If I want to see him, I don't need you to arrange it." Zhenbei said.
Prince Jing didn’t say anything else. Grandpa’s temper was indeed the same.
During the banquet, Wang Chun came to Li Yuanxian and whispered for a while.
"What? Marquis Anding was assassinated?"
Li Yuanxian's voice also silenced the entire audience.
"Marquis Anding was assassinated, is his life in danger?" Before other ministers could react, Duke Zhenbei stood up first and said.
"Why is Duke Zhenbei so concerned about Marquis Anding?" Li Yuanxian asked.
"Our northern army was able to retreat the 100,000-strong Northern Yan army this time, thanks to the blueprints of heavy crossbows and catapults that Your Majesty sent to you. It is said that these blueprints were made by Marquis Anding. I also heard that not long ago, in the capital The turmoil was put down by Marquis Anding in one fell swoop. I admire these rare talents in my heart." Zhenbei Gongdao.
Based on his achievements and fame, the words "admiration" really shocked everyone present.
However, they seemed to dare not make any remarks. After all, although Marquis Anding had indeed made contributions to the court, he was not someone to be trifled with. Having heard about some of Li Qian's past, there were really very few ministers in the court who dared to interact with him.
Li Yuanxian glanced at Prince Jing intentionally or unintentionally, "The Marquis Anding should be safe, but when he was attacked this time, he did not take me seriously and assassinated the Marquis in public. Does this mean he ignores the laws of Dacheng?" ?」
"Father, I am willing to investigate this matter thoroughly!" King Jing came out and said.
Duke Zhenbei sat down and said no more words.
His eyes also glanced at Prince Jing vaguely.
"Prince Jing, are you really willing to investigate this matter thoroughly?" Li Yuanxian said.
"As my father said, I don't take my father in my eyes, and I don't take Dacheng's law in my eyes. I will definitely give an explanation to Marquis Anding, give an explanation to Dacheng, and give an explanation to my father!" Prince Jing bowed.
Li Yuanxian nodded, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
The banquet continued, but no one could tell that His Majesty was no longer in high spirits.
It seems that the position of Marquis Anding in His Majesty's mind is truly irreplaceable.
After the banquet.
Duke Zhenbei asked King Xiang Jing alone.
"You didn't do this, did you?"
Prince Jing said, "Who does grandpa think of me? Marquis Li is also someone I admire. How could I do such a thing?"
"You have to remember that grandpa will not help you in the slightest. If you do something, grandpa will never do anything for personal gain!" Zhenbei said.
