After leaving the East Palace, Li Shen saw that several eunuchs of his highness were loading things on a carriage, and there were two Petite eunuchs beside them. From their eyes, we can see that these two eunuchs were women disguised as eunuchs.
Moreover, they just stood beside another carriage and did not work with others. Li Xu could not help but be curious about their identities.
"Don't look. Those two were sent by Xinluo and Koguryo when they came back from Koguryo. After meeting uncle Ji Wang soon, I went back to Chang'an directly, so I had to take some things back. Let's go first and let them wait at the gate of the mansion Li Hong patted Li Xu on the shoulder, and they continued to walk out side by side.
After hearing Li Hong's simple explanation, Li Xu didn't ask who it was given to. He looked at the two maids beside them, helping them pick up gifts and other things from time to time. It was obvious that their status in the East Palace was relatively respected.
Li Xu is of medium height. Because he has been working with Ji Wang for many years, he has a slightly dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a healthy face. He is of medium build and looks very strong.
After asking Li Hong to get on the carriage of King Ji's mansion, Li Xu originally intended to sit on the shaft with the coachman from left to right. However, he had just settled down on the shaft. Li Hong stretched out his hand and pulled him into the carriage: "it's very kind of you. You are all a family. Don't be so outspoken. Come in and sit together."
"Then I'll be obedient rather than respectful." Li Xu helped Futou on his head passively and bent over to get into the carriage with Li Hong.
This carriage was not his own, but his father, King Ji, Li Shen. Recently, he invited Prince Li Hong. King Ji sent his own carriage to meet him to show his respect and courtesy to his royal highness.
The horseshoe inlaid with horseshoes is walking on the main road paved with bluestone slabs in Luoyang City, and the hooves sound leisurely. Because there is no royal house honor guard in use, the carriage with the mark of Prince Ji's residence passes smoothly on the road, but its speed is still relatively slow.
With the roar and noise outside the window being left behind, the carriage slowly stopped at the main entrance of Prince Ji's residence. At this time, many people headed by King Ji Li Shen were waiting for the prince to get off the bus.
Li Shen, the king of Ji, was a good writer. He had high attainments in literature, history and astrology. Among all the royal families, Li Shen and Li Zhen, king of Yue, both enjoyed a high reputation and a good reputation among the people.
However, on the contrary, Li Zhen, king of Yue, was not as good at writing as Li Shen, but was fond of martial arts and good at riding and shooting. Therefore, the two princes of Wen and Wu were called "Ji and Yue" to show people's respect for them.
Li Shen, the king of Ji Dynasty, is elegant, wise and graceful. He is also of medium height, but his figure is well maintained. He does not have a big belly as long as Li Zhi did. His red round collar robe fits well and is straight.
A pair of bright eyes, the whole person appears gentle and elegant, chin does not leave a beard, but is clean shaven, let people look like they can not help but feel the intention of intimacy.
"Minister Li Shengong greets his royal highness." Li Shen walked slowly down the steps. After Li Hong got down from the station, he immediately led the others in the house to salute.
"Uncle Wang is welcome. My nephew Li Hong has met Uncle Wang." Li Hong slowly returned the salute and said with a smile.
"Today, I really had to. I should have gone to the East Palace in person."
"It's not good for you to be so polite. Brother Wang went to the east palace to invite Li Hong in person, which has already made my nephew feel uneasy. You are still greeting him at the door. If the Father knows about it, he will certainly reprimand my nephew for not knowing the etiquette." Li Hong couldn't stand Ji Wang's pedantic spirit.
When he was with others, Li Shen, the king of Ji, was open-minded, cheerful and humorous. But with himself, he always put the way of being an official first. That's why Li Hong, though he admired Li Shen in his heart, was not willing to communicate with each other. He was too constrained.
"Well, your highness, please." Li Shen's side is smiling, and it's not like standing at the door.
"Uncle Wang." Li Hong suddenly found that his manners were not very bad. He had to compare with whom?
King Ji's residence occupies a large area in Luoyang. After walking for a short time, Ji Wang welcomed Li Hong into the main hall and sat down.
No matter whether Li Hong was a generation younger than Li Shen, King Ji, at this moment, his royal highness had to sit on the throne even if he was a relative on the first day of the lunar new year, and Li Shen could only sit beside him.
Li Xu and other people were able to get seats at this time. That was the prince's Royal Highness. They sat down on both sides of the head.
After a simple exchange of greetings, Li Shen was shocked when he learned that Li Hong planned to return to Chang'an today. The Prince did not attend the banquet in the imperial court yesterday, but he is going to rush to Chang'an today. Is there something important?
"It's nothing. My nephew went out for several months. At that time, he was summoned to Liaodong by his father. In a hurry, he still had a lot of things to deal with. After coming back, he planned to go back to Chang'an after reporting with his father and mother today. By the way, brother Xu Wang said that you have something important to do with your nephew? What's the matter with you Li Hong picked up the tea cup, fiddled with the tea, and then put it down again.If he did not move the tea first, all the people sitting in the main hall, including Ji Wang, could not touch the tea before him.
And Li continued to catch up all the way, in the East Palace also did not have time to drink saliva, at this time is already dry mouth.
Looking at Li Hong holding up and putting it down, and then laughing at him, Li Xu understood Li Hong's intention. He also gave Li Hong a smile of gratitude, and then took up the tea at hand.
Li Shen looked at everything in front of him. He didn't expect that under the prestige of his highness, his highness prince, there were such details for other people's consideration. At present, he had some assurance of what he wanted to say.
Li Shen thought for a moment, then looked at Li Hong and said, "a few days ago, Tubo came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for marriage again. But this time, it was not the Tubo envoys who asked for marriage to the imperial court or his majesty. Instead, he ordered Princess Wencheng to come to me to ask for marriage directly, hoping to marry Li Chuyuan to Tubo Zanpu."
"Such a thing? Does Uncle Wang know if this is the meaning of Tubo or Princess Wencheng? " Li Hong was startled. It was several years later that Tubo asked for another marriage. At that time, Li Lingyue, the little thing in the Imperial Palace, was the object of the courtship.
The father and his mother did not want to marry Li Lingyue, the most beloved Princess, to Tubo. However, it was not easy to directly refuse Tubo's request for peace and marriage. Therefore, they built a peaceful temple. On the ground that Li Lingyue was officially a monk, he refused Tubo's request for peace and marriage. Therefore, Taiping became Li Lingyue's Taoist name.
At this time, Li Zhifeng's title of princess had reached the extreme: Princess Taiping of Zhenguo.
"This..." Li Shen, king of Ji, looked at Li Hong in some embarrassment, and then looked at Li Xu and others present.
"Listen to Uncle Wang's arrangement." Li Hong is good at understanding the human said.
"In this case, your highness may as well have a look at the garden of the minister's back house?" Ji Wang nodded and said gratefully.
"Uncle Wang." Li Hong got up and saw Li Xu and others as usual. They did not feel dissatisfied because of Ji Wang's taboo.
Li Shen nodded to Li Hong again, so they came out of the main hall and went to the garden behind the house.
In the face of Li Xu's presence, it's not that Li Shen deliberately conceals his son and confidants about something, let alone distrust them. It's a matter of great importance and involves too many aspects. If we don't act carefully, I'm afraid the consequences will be worrying.
Moreover, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better. Li Hong is the key, which makes him give up asking his majesty and hope that Li Hong can help him solve the current problems.
At this time, it has entered the early winter. In addition to several small glass gardens in Luoyang palace, red flowers and green leaves are still everywhere. Other places, including the gardens of the palace, are bleak at this time. It is difficult to find some bright colors, even green, in the garden.
In a short time, Li Hong and Li Shen were left in the back garden of the palace.
"Hong'er, this is a big deal. Uncle Wang is really in a very difficult position. Princess Wencheng has a strong attitude and is not willing to marry Li Chuyuan. As the father of Li Chuyuan, I naturally do not want to marry her into Tibet. Besides Pei Xingjian has always been friendly with me. You know the relationship between us. I wrote to him and asked him. He said that Tubo did not have such a plan. He said that it was impossible. Even if Tubo had the intention, they would not agree. " Li Shen and Li Hong walked side by side on the goose warm stone path in the garden and whispered.
"But I hope to continue to make peace with Tubo by taking advantage of Tangda's technology? Even if Pei Xingjian and others did not settle in Tubo, now that I am strong in Tang Dynasty and weak in Tibet, I still think that I will compromise and seek peace in the border areas in exchange for peace and tranquility in the border areas. This is nonsense. " Li Hong slowly bowed his head and said to share Li Shen's worries.
"I'm at ease with your Highness's words, but I can't tell your majesty about the current situation. Your majesty has always been insensitive to such matters. I'm afraid that if I speak, he will agree. So after thinking about it, I decided to come to you to discuss this matter. Since it was not decided by the state policy of Tubo, it was Princess Wencheng and others who made the move. " Li Shen looked at Li Hong standing still. After thinking about it, she continued: "so after Pei Xingjian gave me a definite reply, I made a secret investigation. It may be that Li Xian, the king of Pei, came up with an idea for Wencheng."
