The Tianjie, which is a hundred steps wide and runs through the north and south gates, stretches straight forward with no end in sight.
The black king's car drove out of Dingding Gate. Li Xuan opened the car curtain and looked out, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
Various trees such as cherry blossoms, pomegranates, elms, and willows were planted on both sides of the long street, and they are now in full bloom.
It's a pity that Bai Ling has been hung on it now.
There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, and there are roads between the lanes, intersecting with the crisscross streets that run through the major city gates, in an orderly manner.
The Luoshui River connects the city with the other three rivers of Yi, Jian and Jian. The rivers in the city are lingering, but they are wide, deep, straight and dignified.
Between the squares there is a watchtower, which overlooks all the movements of Luoyang.
There are Marquis Wu upstairs. These people are carefully selected soldiers with sharp eyesight. They can't hide everything going on in the streets of Luoyang.
Li Xuan looked away from the watchtower. At this time, there were more and more people and cars on the street.
Although the atmosphere was somewhat solemn, laughter and laughter could still be heard among the people coming and going.
The breath of life is everywhere.
The door curtain was lowered again, and Li Xuan inside the car had already changed into a purple robe with five pythons and five chapters, a purple crown on her head, and linen mourning clothes.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xuan placed the small black box on his lap.
The reason why he came back from Hongzhou early this time was because of the secret medicine stored in this box.
It is said that Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain collected thousands of years of earth dragon essence and blood as the main medicine, mixed 500-year-old purple salvia, 300-year-old Polygonatum, 300-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, 100-year-old Panax notoginseng, 100-year-old Astragalus and other precious medicinal materials to refine 774 A secret potion that took nineteen days to refine.
It is said that when the medicine is ready, thunder from the sky will come to the world, the five qi will surge, and flowers will fall from the sky...
Of course, these are what Zhang Yuanyang, the young master of Longhu Mountain, said.
Li Xuan has never seen any raw materials or any process of refining medicine.
He only hoped that this bottle of medicine would really work on the emperor's wind disease.
He didn't want to continue to be an idle clan member.
After he prayed for rain, he saw this bottle of medicine and also received the news that Prince Li Hong had died of illness.
Li Xuan didn't lie before. He really went to Longhu Mountain to pray for rain with all the heavenly masters.
Since the beginning of summer this year, the entire Hongzhou Prefecture and half of Jiangnan Road have not had any rain.
The imperial court clearly issued an edict, requiring governors and vassal kings to rush to the stage to pray for rain to calm the people.
Li Xuan then went to Longhu Mountain in Fuzhou to pray for rain.
After praying for rain for half a month with many real masters in Longhu Mountain, the prayer was finally successful. It was at this time that Li Xuan got the bottle of medicine.
Then, after leaving Longhu Mountain, as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, the prompt appeared in front of him.
Prompt entries, Longhu Mountain, Zhang Tianshi, subduing demons and demons, demons...
…
In today's Tang Dynasty, two saints, the emperor and the queen, are coming to court.
Because Emperor Riji's illness was becoming more and more serious, he planned to give the throne to the prince in advance and let Empress Wu take charge of the affairs of the country.
This was in February this year. In April, the prince died of illness.
In an instant, rumors spread throughout the court and abroad that the prince had committed murder for the queen.
Li Xuan placed the black lacquered wooden box in front of him. If what was in the box was simply some elixir that could help the emperor's condition, then it would be nothing if he sent it to the palace; but if this bottle The medicine carries some weird reminder. It would be hilarious if it were delivered to the emperor.
Li Xuan raised his head, but there was nothing above his head. The previous entry for [Li Xuan, King of Nanchang, Traveler] had completely disappeared.
If this thing...if it hadn't come down from Longhu Mountain, if it hadn't been so improper, Li Xuan would have really thought it was his golden finger...
It's okay, send it to the palace to have a look, maybe it can stir up a pool of muddy water.
But is this thing so easy to get rid of?
…
The carriage was moving slowly along Tianjie. Through the swaying curtains, Li Xuan caught a glimpse of Liu Jinyu who was raising the curtains and looking at him curiously. As his eyes flickered, a gentle smile appeared on Li Xuan's face. , and nodded slightly at the same time.
The prime minister’s granddaughter!
The curtain fell, and the carriage slowly moved away while shaking.
Chao Yilang Liu Yuanlang's carriage waited until Li Xuan's carriage was far away, and then took off after a while.
"Aye, how could he be the King of Nanchang?" Liu Jinyu looked away, frowned, and subconsciously looked at his father.
Although Liu Jinyu often helped his grandfather with government affairs, he did not know much about the King of Nanchang who did not often appear in official documents.
"Why can't he be the King of Nanchang? The King of Nanchang is Lingjizi, and Lingjizi is the King of Nanchang. They are the same person."
Liu Yuanlang was a little amused. He never thought that the young Taoist who was watching at the same place last night turned out to be the King of Nanchang.
Looking at his curious daughter, Liu Yuanlang whispered: "Li Xuan, heir to Pengsi King Li Yuanze, Long Shuozhong, named Nanchang King."
"Long Shuozhong, wasn't that more than ten years ago, when he was still a child?" Liu Jinyu looked incredulous.
"That was also a public case from back then." Liu Yuanlang shook his head. At that time, he was not in the imperial court, and he didn't even have a position. He had only heard some rumors, but he didn't know the specific situation.
"Prince Peng's Mansion has declined, and Prince Nanchang's Mansion has not yet established a government office." After a change of thought, Liu Yuanlang suddenly looked at his daughter and whispered: "If Aye remembers correctly, it seems that the Prince of Nanchang has not yet been engaged..."
"Aye, what are you talking about?" Liu Jinyu's eyes suddenly widened, and then she suddenly blushed.
Last night, although she had a conversation with Li Xuan and was comfortable getting along with her, she had never thought about having anything to do with this young man. Now when her father said this, her mind immediately clearly emerged. Li Xuan's appearance,
Liu Yuanlang shook his head slightly: "It's a pity that Aye was worshiped as Shangshu Zuopushe. The Queen may not be willing to see her family and clan get married."
"Aye Jing is just thinking wildly. The King of Nanchang looks a little younger than his daughter." Liu Jinyu gently waved her handkerchief, the flush on her face gradually dissipated, and her face suddenly became a little pale: "My daughter will stay with Aye for the rest of her life and never leave for the rest of her life."
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? There will always be better young people waiting for you in front." Liu Yuanlang looked at his daughter in amusement.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Liu Yuanlang's expression changed slightly: "Sanniang, when you see your grandfather this time, you need to be more obedient. The timing is not right recently."
"My daughter understands." Of course Liu Jinyu knew what was going on.
Originally, the news that the Queen poisoned the Crown Prince had already spread throughout the world, but now there was a bloodbath in the Luoyang County Lieutenant's family, and the Crown Princess was also involved.
Suddenly, Liu Jinyu's heart moved: "Ah, is it possible that the King of Nanchang is in such a hurry to return to Beijing?"
Liu Yuanlang shook his head slightly: "The king of Nanchang does not have a high status in the clan, and he is not close to the prince. If I insist on saying so, he has something to do with King Li Xian of England. He rushed to the east capital this time. In addition to attending the prince's funeral, he was afraid that He also has plans to show his goodwill to the Queen of Heaven and clear away the suspicion at the same time. This person is quite scheming."
Liu Jinyu nodded slightly.
The normal route from Hongzhoufu to Luoyang is to take Jiujiang, go down the Yangtze River, go straight to Yangzhou, then go north along the canal, and finally reach Luoyang.
This journey is already long, and with the delay in water transportation, it is normal to come back after half a month. However, Liu Jinyu calculated that from the time Li Xuan received the official document from the court to now, I am afraid that he has to drive thousands of miles in three days in a hurry. Day and night, all the way to the capital of God.
Although most of the current clan kings no longer have real power, there are still many who hold the post of governor in various places.
Especially since Empress Wu came to power, in order to balance the power, the emperor granted many practical positions to the kings surnamed Li.
The King of Nanchang was approaching his crown age, and it was almost time to take up his post in the government.
Thinking of this, Liu Jinyu couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face.
Immediately afterwards, the smile disappeared without a trace, but it did not hide it from her own father's eyes.
Liu Yuanlang sighed, he was afraid that the girl he had raised for more than ten years was finally going to take advantage of some bastard.
