On the third day of June, the sky is clear and the sunshine is warm. It is suitable for marriage, engagement, moving, praying, and offering sacrifices.
In the afternoon, in front of the Crown Prince's palace, a black carriage slowly stopped.
Li Xuan, wearing a black five-python five-chapter round-neck robe with a white silk ribbon wrapped around her arm, stepped off the carriage.
Li Xuan raised his head, straightened his appearance, and then walked towards the crown prince's palace.
Just before leaving the palace gate, Li Xuan stopped and frowned.
At this moment, in the palace, people were walking in and out of the east side courtyard one after another, but the middle courtyard was deserted.
Although there are still white flags hanging in the main hall of the central courtyard, they are much bleaker than before, and there are even no people visible at all.
It's like the east courtyard and the middle courtyard are two completely different worlds, with clear distinctions.
At this moment, a figure walked out quickly from the palace gate. Wearing a light crimson official robe, a middle-aged man in his late forties with a tired face. When he saw Li Xuan, he quickly handed over his hand: "I have seen the King of Nanchang." , I am busy with business, so I would be rude if I kept the prince waiting for a long time."
The new crown prince Xima Liu Nayan was a Jinshi in the first year of Qianfeng's reign and was proficient in Hanshu.
"Liu Xima is very polite. Just send someone to take me in." Li Xuan gently held his hand.
Liu Nayan was slightly stunned. He seemed to hear something special in Li Xuan's words, but the other party's face was gentle and sincere, which made him feel like it was his own illusion.
"It's not my intention, but I actually moved a lot of things from Prince Yong's Mansion this morning, and they still need to be put away." Liu Nayan quickly handed over his hands to accuse him, and at the same time said: "I have long heard the name of the prince, and he was in the capital water prison in his early years. At that time, I heard Huang Gong praise the prince more than once..."
"Liu Xima originally served in the Capital Water Supervision Bureau?" Li Xuan suddenly realized, and his smile immediately became friendly. As he walked in, he asked: "When did Liu Xima enter Yongwang's Mansion? Why didn't he do it before he came down?" Have you seen it?"
"It's the first year of Xianheng. It has been five years since I entered Yongwang's Mansion. I have been in Chang'an before and just arrived in Luoyang yesterday." Liu Nayan was a little proud in a subtle way.
"Not bad!" Li Xuan nodded calmly with a smile. Suddenly, Li Xuan stopped and looked at Liu Nayan: "Are we going there?"
Liu Nayan pointed to the palace courtyard on the east side and said: "His Royal Highness is now in charge of the east courtyard, and the coffin of the emperor is kept in the middle palace."
"I see, there are a lot of people coming in and out." Li Xuan took a breath, turned serious, and stretched out her hand: "Please lead the way."
Liu Nayan took the lead, followed by Li Xuan. There were maids, chamberlains, and officials passing by in a hurry.
The further you go, the more officials there are.
Seeing Liu Nayan and Li Xuan, some people just nodded and walked past quickly, while others stopped and bowed solemnly.
Within the huge hall, a clear and loud voice came.
"Your Highness, the taxes on Jiangnan Province this year have been reduced by 10% compared to previous years. The taxes transferred to the divine capital, including losses during the process, total..." Huangfu Gongyi said as he handed the memorial in his hand to Li Xian, and on the other side Prince Zuo's concubine Zhang Da'an also had a solemn look on his face.
Huangfu Gongyi now serves as the Prince Zhan Shi, taking charge of the political affairs of the Tongfu, Fang, and Bureau to provide guidance to the Prince.
Zhang Da'an served as the prince's concubine Zuo, with the position of serving as a servant and supervising the economic bureau, palace gate bureau, internal affairs bureau, dianshan bureau, medicine storage bureau and other bureaus.
In addition, the crown prince's concubine was concurrently appointed by Zhongshu Ling Hao Chujun, and the crown prince's right concubine was concurrently appointed by Li Jingxuan, the official secretary.
Only Zhang Daan was in charge of the crown prince Zuo Shuzi.
In addition, Liu Rengui, the left prime minister who also served as the prince's guest, and Dai Zhide, the right prime minister, show how high the emperor had high hopes for Li Xian.
At this moment, Liu Nayan stood at the door and reported softly: "Your Highness, the Prince of Nanchang has arrived!"
"Uncle Wang is here, please come!" Li Xian stood up from his seat, looked at Huangfu Gongyi and Zhang Daan with a smile, and said sincerely: "It has been three hours since we have been busy with government affairs today, and the two elders are also tired. , take a rest for a while!"...
"Here!" Huangfu Gongyi and Zhang Daan stood up at the same time, cupped their hands towards Li Xuan, and then looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan quickly raised her hands and saluted: "I have seen the prince.
Your Highness, I have met Huangfu Weng and Zhang Weng! "
"King of Nanchang!" Huangfu Gongyi and Zhang Daan nodded slightly to Li Xuan, and then took the initiative to retreat.
Li Xian obviously wanted to have something to say with Li Xuan, and they would not stay any longer if they didn't wink.
"You all go down too." The attendants, eunuchs and maids around Li Xian all bowed and saluted.
One of them, about twenty-five years old, quite young, but already wearing a light crimson official uniform, was the last one to leave.
A clear face came into Li Xuan's eyes, which made Li Xuan pay attention.
"That's Xue Yao, the eldest son of Xue Yuanchao, the doctor who is admonishing the doctor." Li Xian stretched out his hand to signal Li Xuan to sit down, and looked at Xue Yao who was exiting and said, "He is also the son of Aunt He Jing."
Xue Yuanchao, the official who is admonishing, is the mother of Chu, the sister of Prime Minister Chu Suiliang, Xue Yuanchaoshang and Princess Jing.
Princess Hejing is the daughter of Chaosi King Li Yuanji and the sister of Cao King Li Ming.
Li Xuan paused for a moment, but then returned to normal: "His Royal Highness has just ascended the throne as the Crown Prince, and the people around him still need the help of several elders to take care of them. Your Majesty's side..."
"It doesn't matter, the Chu family is the Chu family, the Xue family is the Xue family, and the Xue family in Hedong is also a wealthy family." Li Xian waved his hand indifferently.
"Your Highness is willing. The East Palace is very close to Qianyang Palace. If Your Highness is free, you should go to Qianyang Palace and Zhenguan Palace to say hello." After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "Please forgive me for being presumptuous. I respect the emperor's death. The Queen Mother Like Your Majesty, I am equally sentimental and sad..."
Li Xian was suddenly startled, and then he raised his hands to Li Xuan with a serious face: "What Uncle Wang said is absolutely true, I was negligent!"
"Don't dare!" Li Xuan quickly returned the gift and bowed at the same time: "I will leave for the southeast tomorrow and will not be able to participate in His Highness's canonization ceremony. Please forgive me!"
Li Xuan came to the Crown Prince's Palace to apologize. The fifth day of the sixth lunar month would be Li Xian's crown prince canonization ceremony. However, the day before the crown prince canonization ceremony, Li Xuan had to leave Luoyang and come to Li Xian no matter what. To apologize.
"This is a business matter, Uncle Wang, don't worry, Li Xian won't." Li Xian stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xuan to sit aside, glanced outside, and then whispered: "Time is tight, I will tell you if you have anything. Okay, I have something to trouble Uncle Wang."
"Your Highness, please speak?" Although Li Xuan was a little surprised, she still listened respectfully to Li Xian's next words.
"Although I am the prince now, there are still many things that are hard to focus on." Li Xian sighed with emotion, and then said: "I have an old friend who is upright. In his early years, he was framed by villains many times and was demoted several times. Now, He is full of fear of the official career, but I love his talent very much and want to find a place for him to serve."
"This is treating the symptoms but not the root cause!" Li Xuan looked at Li Zhi with some confusion and said in confusion: "If Your Highness pities talents, why don't you treat them? This is the right way. With Your Highness's current ability, It was easy and..."
Li Xuan suddenly stopped, looked at Li Xian in disbelief, and said in shock: "Is it Wang Bo?"
Li Xuan's voice was extremely low. He never thought that the person Li Xian was talking about was Wang Bo.
"Back then, Wang Zi'an was burdened by this palace and was expelled from the divine capital by his father. Later, he was framed and involved in a murder case. If he hadn't caught up with the Amnesty World, he would have been executed long ago. Although he escaped later, But he is afraid that his official career will be like a tiger. Now that Xian has become the prince, he will not let him live in the countryside. Unfortunately, he has refused many invitations, so he can only ask Uncle Wang to leave a position in the palace..."
Li Xian looked at Li Xuan with a pleading face.
Li Xuan had long since recovered from her astonishment, and then said with a face full of embarrassment: "Your Highness is really capable of causing problems. Your Majesty..."
"Father, I will explain it to you." Li Xian smiled, and then said: "Tomorrow, Prince An will be waiting for Uncle Wang at Shili Pavilion outside the city. I will ask Uncle Wang for this time."
Li Xuan nodded helplessly, but then his face became solemn: "I also have something to ask of Your Highness. Please ask Your Highness to let the former Crown Princess move out of the Crown Prince's palace as soon as possible."
