"The eldest princess of Huainan has arrived!"
Shouting sounded outside the door, and Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan, who were standing at the door of the East Crossing Courtyard, looked at each other and their expressions became solemn at the same time.
They can control the affairs in Chang'an City, but they cannot control the princes and nobles who have come from other states one after another.
Especially for the eldest princess of Huainan, even the emperor has no control over her whereabouts.
The eldest princess of Huainan, the twelfth daughter of Emperor Gaozu, was born in the fourth year of Wude. At that time, Li Jiancheng was still the crown prince, and there may still be a bit of brother-sister love.
…
Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan walked to the door quickly, and before they could stand still, they saw the tall princess of Huainan, who had silver hair, a black plain dress, and was accompanied by her son Feng Simin, the governor of Ruzhou, from outside. Walk in.
Liang Wujian, the prince's young minister who had been waiting outside to welcome guests, followed him to the hospital.
Seeing Pei Guangxiao, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, and Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan who were greeting the guests under the tomb, Liang Wujian slightly handed over his hands and returned to the outside of the courtyard to greet the guests.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess of Huainan." Pei Guangxiao and Ming Chongyan saluted at the same time.
"Aunt!" Li Xuan bowed slightly, then stepped forward slightly and said, "Aunt's trip went well. If you are tired, you can go to your nephew's house to rest later."
The eldest princess of Huainan first raised her hand to ask Pei Guangxiao and Ming Chongyan to stand up, then looked at Li Xuan with some surprise, nodded deliberately and said: "The twenty-seventh man is becoming more and more talkative now. After getting married, You are becoming more and more assertive. I heard that everything today was arranged by Twenty-seventh Lang. From the square gate to the courtyard gate, Wannian County Magistrate and Taifu Shaoqing stopped many people for you. ah!"
Li Xuan smiled awkwardly, but he still hurriedly handed over his hands and said: "Aunt, all the arrangements my nephew made today are actually for the benefit of everyone. If anyone among them is contaminated with something that shouldn't be contaminated, it may be okay for now. , But if something happens in the future, I’m afraid even confiscating the family and exterminating the clan may not be able to offset it.”
The eldest princess of Huainan frowned immediately.
When she came to Yongjiafang today, she was accompanied by a group of housekeepers, maids and guards. But now, the housekeepers and maids were all blocked outside Yongjiafang, and the guard at home was personally blocked by the Taifu Shaoqing Liang Wujian. Outside the main gate of Guide County.
Only mother and son were welcomed into the house by Liang Wujian.
The eldest princess of Huainan could see clearly that not only her family, but also the servants, maids and guards of many other families were stopped.
I even heard from Wannian County Magistrate that in the past few days, only people from Yongjiafang could enter and exit after inspection. People from other outsiders, except those who came to attend the funeral, were not allowed to enter.
Through the two methods, I don't know how many people who wanted to come to worship were stopped.
But then again, if it's too late to hide from something like this, how can any serious person get up on the pole to worship.
The eldest princess of Huainan nodded slightly, and then said: "Everything in the house has been arranged so well, so has the road to Gaoyangyuan been properly arranged?"
Li Xuan's expression immediately became solemn. Worshiping in the mansion was only one aspect. The real trouble was on the way to the Gaoyangyuan Mausoleum.
He had to pass through half of Chang'an City and then reach Gaoyangyuan in the southwest of the city. This road was not easy to walk.
Li Xuan solemnly raised her hands and said, "Report to aunt, everything has been arranged."
"That's good." The eldest princess of Huainan looked Li Xuan up and down, and finally raised her head to look in the direction of the memorial shed, and said softly: "Let's go, accompany your aunt to worship, and also burn incense for your father."
"My nephew, I obey." Li Xuan immediately reached out and asked the eldest princess of Huainan to go first, and then looked at Feng Simin aside with confusion.
Feng Simin, the governor of Ruzhou, had a wry smile on his face and shook his head helplessly.
Li Xuan sighed softly, as a son, how could he stop his mother from doing something, even if the matter was very sensitive.
The eldest princess of Huainan, with her status, even the emperor and Empress Wu could not stop her, let alone her son Feng Simin.
Li Xuan and Feng Simin didn't know each other much. When Li Xuan got married last year, it was Feng Simin who accompanied the eldest princess of Huainan.
Li Xuan had never seen Huainan's eldest princess' consort, Captain Feng Yan said.
Feng Yandao now serves as the governor of Cangzhou, in Hebei.
Feng Yandao was the former prime minister, Zhongshu Ling, and the Duke of Miguo named De Yi's son.
Over the years, he has successively served as the governor of Bianzhou, the governor of Ningzhou, the governor of Qizhou, the governor of Qizhou, the governor of Jinzhou, the governor of Qianzhou, the governor of Guangzhou, the governor of Cangzhou, etc., but he has no hope of becoming the prime minister.
Li Xuan saw that a Qianniu Guard had quickly left the mansion and had undoubtedly rushed to the palace.
The emperor and Empress Wu would be extremely concerned about the arrival of the eldest princess of Huainan.
After Li Xuan accompanied the eldest princess of Huainan to offer incense and worship, he sent her to the inner courtyard to rest. She returned to the East Cross Courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the voice outside the door sounded again: "His Royal Highness the Prime Minister has arrived."
Li Xuan's face immediately darkened. He turned around and looked at Ming Chongyan coldly.
Ming Chongyan also had a surprised look on his face, and quickly raised his hands to Li Xuan. Without any time to say anything else, he immediately walked out the door.
Li Dan walked in alone from outside the courtyard gate. Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan immediately stepped forward and bowed their hands in salute: "Your Highness, why are you here?"
"Uncle Wang, teacher!" Li Dan returned the salute to Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan, and then said: "Brother Huang asked Dan to come to pay homage to Uncle Xi, and at the same time express his condolences to Auntie Guide!"
"Prince?" Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan looked at each other with surprise on their faces. What did the prince want to do?
Of course, what the Crown Prince asked the Prime Minister to do was right, but I'm afraid he didn't say hello to the Emperor and Empress Wu about this matter.
No, the Emperor and Empress Wu must not have been informed about this matter. If they knew about it, they would never let Li Dan come.
This is a bit much.
The prince would not do something like this. Someone must have instigated the prince to do this, and it might be related to the King of East China Sea.
…
Pei Guangxiao, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, took Li Dan to offer incense to Concubine Zheng.
Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan gathered together. Li Xuan looked straight at Ming Chongyan and said, "Master, I'm afraid I need you to personally send His Highness Prince Xiang back to the palace later."
Ming Chongyan nodded, waved the fly whisk in his hand, and said solemnly: "Of course, but since that person took action like this, he probably wanted to do it on the way to the mausoleum. Prince, be careful."
Li Xuan nodded silently and said: "I hope the real person will tell the inner guards and secret guards to pay attention to my king's orders."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, but they don't dare to disobey the order." Ming Chongyan nodded, and the two of them had reached an agreement on this matter.
The King of Donghai tried every possible means to get Li Dan here just to mobilize Ming Chongyan, but Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan had no choice but to do this.
Compared with catching the King of East China Sea, Li Dan's safety is more important.
Li Xuan looked up at the sky and said softly: "Master, noon is almost here..."
"The angel has arrived!"
A loud shout interrupted Li Xuan's words again. Li Xuan and Ming Chongyan looked at each other and immediately understood that it was the Emperor and Empress Wu who sent people to the residence of the Lord of Guide County because of the arrival of the eldest princess of Huainan.
Everyone in the mansion includes the lord of Guide County, Liu Yingdao, the prince's son-in-law of Wenxi County, Yu Shanxun, the prince's son-in-law of Leling County, Princess Honghua, and her husband Murong Nuohebo, the governor of Anle Prefecture, and his son, the general of the town army, Youbao Taowei. General Murong Zhong.
They were admonishing the official Xue Yuanchao, Zheng Guogong, and Wei Shuyu, the governor of Shaanxi Province.
Li Xuan, Pei Guangxiao, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, Chen Guang, the minister of Guanglu Temple, Liang Wujian, the young minister of Taifu, and Qiu Huan, the chamberlain supervisor.
There were people waiting inside and outside, all standing respectfully in the courtyard, welcoming the angel's arrival.
…
In the swaying carriage, a figure wearing dark green official clothes leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, and immediately after, a humanoid figure rushed into the carriage.
The eyes of the figure who was resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened, and immediately after, an emerald jade pendant was thrown out.
The shadow immediately fell on the jade pendant, and then the figure suddenly solidified.
The master of Wusheng Taoism, Li Miao, the son of Li Xiaochang, the king of Nghe An, suddenly appeared in the carriage, and then respectfully handed over his hands: "Your Highness!"
On the opposite side, King Donghai nodded slightly, and then asked: "How is the situation?"
"Yongjiafang is still unable to enter, and the previously arranged personnel cannot move at all after entering. There are Jinwu guards guarding the door of every house." Li Miao said calmly: "On the way to Gaoyangyuan outside the city , his subordinates originally arranged two teams of men, but found that four teams of left guard cavalry were patrolling back and forth, so they asked them to withdraw into the city. The King of Nanchang was smart and ordered the funeral to be carried out of the city from Qixia Gate. Therefore, his subordinates prepared Take action in Quchifang."
"Surprise." King Donghai nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, but this manpower!"
"They are not our people. They don't even know who is going to be robbed this time. The King of Nanchang sealed the news too tightly, which actually helped us." Li Miao breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was better than he thought. It's even easier.
"That's good. You should be careful. If there is any disharmony, self-preservation is the main thing." King Donghai specially warned him.
Li Miao said softly: "I understand."
This time, they didn't even use their own people. They used some desperadoes from Chang'an City. Even if something happened, it wouldn't affect them at all.
Li Miao bowed slightly, then quickly flew away from the car window, quickly flying high into the sky.
At his feet, a motorcade was slowly approaching Yongjiafang.
Above his head, a dove hawk flying higher in the sky quietly stared at him.
…
"The angel has arrived!"
Wu Chengsi, dressed in a black brocade robe, walked out of the courtyard with Yang Jiong, Song Zhiwen, King Luo Bin, and an attendant in blue.
Everyone in the courtyard immediately bowed and said, "I've seen an angel!"
"Everyone, please get up." Wu Chengsi gently stretched out his hand to lift everyone up, then looked at the chamberlain beside him and said, "E chambermaid, please!"
The chamberlain in green clothes nodded to everyone, then walked through the crowd until he walked under the tomb. Then he took out the imperial edict, opened it and read: "In the second year of Wei Shangyuan, at the age of Bingzi, the emperor Ruo said: Today there is a reason. The Crown Princess Zheng is hidden, the husband Gui Palace has silver coins, Meng Hou lives in the esteemed place of guarding the utensils, the Jia Palace has a fine drapery, and the Yuan Concubine participates in the wedding ceremony..."
The chamberlain was chanting in front of him, and Li Xuan bowed his head.
On one side are the lord of Guide County, Liu Yingdao, the consort of the lord of Wenxi County, Yu Shanxun, the consort of the lord of Leling County, Princess Honghua, and her husband Murong Nuohebo, the governor of Anle Prefecture, and his son, the general of the Zhenjun Army, and General Youbao Taowei. Murong Zhong, all knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
At this time, an entry suddenly jumped up among everyone.
[Li Wanying, the lord of Guide County, was born in the first year of Zhenguan. She is the adopted daughter of the crown prince Zheng Guanyin. Her father is Li Ji, an English duke, and her mother is Zhang, a British duke. In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Ji, an English duke, replaced Tao Jiang. In the same year, According to legend, the eldest daughter of a British princess died in infancy. 】
Li Xuan's eyes suddenly opened like bells.
He looked slightly to the side, and at the same time, another entry also jumped out.
[King Luo Bin, King of the East China Sea, was born in the first year of Zhenguan. He was the adopted son of Luo Luyuan, the magistrate of Bochang County in Qingzhou. His father concealed the prince Li Jiancheng, and his mother concealed the crown prince Zheng Guanyin. In the first year of Zhenguan, the British Duke Li Ji used his daughter Li Wanying's luggage to replace Tao Jiang]
He finally came.
Li Ji, daughter, Li family, died in the first year of Zhenguan (627).
