In the Dragon Scale Palace, thick smoke suddenly filled the air.
It looks particularly scary from a distance.
"Twenty-seventh Lang, are you sure about this?" Han Wang Li Yuanjia stood behind Li Xuan, looking at the Dragon Scale Palace from a distance, his eyes were unusually calm.
Behind him are Huo Wang Li Yuangui, Shu Wang Li Yuanming, Lu Wang Li Lingkui, Jiang Wang Li Yuanxiang, Mi Wang Li Yuanxiao, Teng Wang Li Yuanying, Ji Wang Li Shen, Yue Wang Li Zhen, Cao Wang Li Ming, Huainan County Wang Li Mao, Zheng Wang Li Jing, and their The princes all looked at Li Xuan at the same time.
In addition, there were countless servants, maids, and guards, all standing together, a huge crowd of people.
"Of course I'm sure." Li Xuan raised her hands to Li Yuanjia seriously, and said sincerely at the same time: "Thank you Uncle Wang and all of you for your understanding, my nephew can be so bold!"
Li Xuan originally thought that after he proposed the Smoked Dragon Scale Palace, Han King Li Yuanjia and other kings would be extremely angry. However, whether it was Han King Li Yuanjia, Huo King Li Yuangui, Shu King Li Yuanming, Lu King Li Lingkui, Jiang King Li Yuanxiang, Mi King Li Yuan The rumored irritable kings such as Xiao and Teng Wang Li Yuanying were all very calm and restrained, and ordered their subordinates to fully cooperate with Li Xuan's actions without any delay.
"My fifteenth brother died at the hands of a traitor. Although the cause is not allowed to be disclosed, the murderer must pay with blood." Li Yuanjia's eyes revealed a trace of ferocity.
No matter how much internal fighting there is between the Li and Tang royal families, it is their own business, but once outsiders intervene, all fierce eyes will be directed towards the outside world.
"Young Master Twenty-Seven, go ahead and do it. As long as you can find the murderer, the uncles will fully support you." Huo Wang Li Yuangui stood to one side with calm eyes.
"Here!" Li Xuan turned to look at the Forbidden Army General Zhou Cang, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhou, other palaces should also start. Today we must find the entrance to the hidden secret passage."
"Follow the order!" Zhou Cang immediately turned around and led a large number of his men towards the other palaces in Shendu Garden.
There are Hebi Palace, Mingde Palace, Longlin Palace, Gaoshan Palace, Suyu Palace, Qingcheng Palace and many other buildings in Shendu Garden, as well as vast gardens and many rivers. I want to search the entire Shendu Garden. The time required was extremely long, so Li Xuan could only keep an eye on these palaces first.
"Uncles, Uncle Wang, Twenty-seventh Lang, please go in and take a look right now to see if you have found anything. I also ask you, Uncle Wang, to wait a moment. It won't take long!" Li Xuan faced the kings again. He bowed his hands and then turned around and entered the Dragon Scale Palace.
…
At this moment, the Dragon Scale Palace was filled with bursts of gray smoke, all of which were caused by burning mugwort.
"There is no need to worry, Twenty-Seventh Lang. My father and Uncle Han have already gone down as you told them. They say to the public that this is to prevent sneaky presence, so they are infected with mugwort." Li Xu, the eldest son of King Huo, walked in from the outside. The smoke in the entire Dragon Scale Palace looks thick, but it doesn't affect the line of sight much.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Li Xuan glanced outside the palace, and then said in a solemn voice: "The Thousand-Faced Buddha should have arrived at the Taiwong Palace by now, but Qiu Zhonglang took over the task of searching the Taiwang Palace, so Yudi had no choice but to Come to Dragon Scale Palace to look for the secret passage. If you can find the secret passage, you will be a little lustful in front of His Majesty.”….
"Qiu Shenji went to search the prince's uterus. Does he still have respect for the prince?" Li Xu's face instantly darkened.
This is the consequence of having the crown prince's uterus carelessly. This time Qiu Shenji offended not only Li Zhi, but also Li Xian, Li Xian, Li Dan, and a lot of royal families.
Although this was the emperor's order, the clan would feel humiliated by such a grand display in the palace.
However, Qiu Shenji was not someone who cared about this. As long as he could find the Thousand-faced Buddha, the emperor would not punish him. Moreover, even if he was angry, Zheng Qinyu of Dali Temple would stand in front of him, and the kings of other clans would not be punished. The resentment is over.
In these years, can the royal family still be able to speak at the center?
"Forget it, he's not the only one like this." Li Xuan smiled nonchalantly. Over the years, with the emperor and queen's use of the clan tightening, almost no one in the clan could truly stand at the center.
Even if there were, they would be from a slightly distant clan like Li Xiaoyi, Duke of Liang.
It also
This is the reason why Li Xuan wants to work in a local area.
Only in the local area can he accumulate his own connections, recruit his own talents, and cultivate his own popularity. Only in the future can he have the opportunity to truly win over people's hearts.
The center is not a long-term residence. Look at how many things have happened in just a few days.
"My little brother has checked the secret files. Although the record says that Longlin Palace was built by His Majesty's decree, in the pre-Sui Dynasty, there were already Longlin Canal and Shiliu Manor here. However, at that time, the people who lived there were The people here are all palace ladies, our government is just enclosing them all and turning them into palaces." Li Xuan explained to Li Xu why she wanted to focus her main energy on Dragon Scale Palace.
According to records of the Sui Dynasty, in the Sui Dynasty, there was Beihai in Xiyuan, and there was Longlin Canal in the north of the sea. There were sixteen courtyards such as Mingcai and Lijing along the canal, and each courtyard was managed by a fourth-grade lady.
A clear stream flows through the courtyard, famous flowers and trees are planted everywhere, a flying bridge is built over the canal, the hall is built in the water, there are secluded windows and curved rooms, and the walls are built with light. There are countless magnificent and ingenious places.
The Thousand-Faced Buddha had been in the Dragon Scale Palace before, and then quietly disappeared without a trace. Regardless of the secrets or traces, it was found that the Dragon Scale Palace started.
In addition to Longlin Palace, there is also Mingde Palace, which was also built in the former Sui Dynasty, but at that time, it was still called Xianren Palace.
That area has been handed over to Zhenghe Yiqiu of Dali Temple, and Li Xuan believes that He Yiqiu will not let him down.
"Whether Yang Guang came out of the palace to secretly meet with outsiders, or he said that this was the secret escape route originally set up, but a person like him who is used to enjoying himself will never leave the exit in a deserted place, he must leave it in a dragon. Comfortable places like Lin Palace and Xianren Palace." Li Xuan explained the reason for his determination in one sentence.
"Dragon Scale Palace is located in the center of the Morning Palace." Li Xu nodded suddenly.
The Tang Dynasty was different from the former Sui Dynasty. Although Longlin Palace was located in the center of Shendu Garden, it was not valued by Gaozu, Taizong and Gaozong.
Even Prince Li Hong always lives in Hebi Palace and has no special interest in Dragon Scale Palace.
Now Emperor Gaozong even uses it as the residence of the kings, which shows its low status.
Royal residences are scattered throughout the Dragon Scale Palace, and thick smoke is constantly emitting from them.
Qiu Zhenmu is leading Qian Niuwei's subordinates to fumigate one courtyard after another. As long as there is an entrance to a secret passage, they can find it immediately. ….
"If I follow what I did before, if this is not the Dragon Scale Palace, I will definitely soak the walls and floors with water and look for the leaks bit by bit, but all of you, uncles, princes, and brothers will live here. So we can only change the method and use mugwort smoke for fumigation." Li Xuan explained briefly.
"Well, I don't care, but this is His Majesty's place after all, so it's better to be cautious." After a short pause, Li Xu said: "Fumigating with mugwort can at least repel cold and blood, repel insects and ward off evil spirits. , Your Majesty will look at your intentions and won’t blame you too much.”
"What Brother Wang said is true, but the most important thing is to find the entrance to the secret passage first..." Before Li Xuan finished speaking, a surprised voice came from a distant courtyard.
A figure quickly ran out from inside and ran to Li Xuan. He couldn't hide his excitement and clasped his fists at Li Xuan: "General, the secret passage has been found!"
"Brother Su Xian is really effective at doing things." Li Xuan looked at Su Baotong in front of him with a hint of surprise on his face.
The person who found the entrance to the secret passage was Su Baotong, the grandson of Su Dingfang, Duke of Xing.
"Let's go and have a look!" Li Xu was obviously a little excited and pulled Li Xuan towards the secret passage.
As long as the entrance to the secret passage can be found, the lingering doubts surrounding the kings can be completely dissipated.
Li Xuan turned her hand to hold Li Xu down, and then shouted to the other Qianniu Guards who heard the sound: "Everyone, continue, don't slack off!"
Now we have only found a suspected tunnel entrance. As for what is underneath, it is difficult to say.
"Here!" All the Thousand Niu Guards in the Dragon Scale Palace promised in a deep voice. As long as they could find something, everyone would get excited.
Qiu Zhenmu rushed out quickly, then joined Li Xuan and Li Xu, and under the guidance of Su Baotong, headed for the house where they had discovered something.
Standing in front of the gate of the house, Li Xuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Is this the residence of Brother Wang of Huainan?"
"Let's go in." Li Xu's face was as heavy as water, and then he stepped inside.
Prince Li Mao of Huainan County had contracted the disease inexplicably before. Don't really think that the other royal families didn't find out. It's just that everyone didn't want to get into trouble, but now...
