Li resolutely entered the palace to face the saint.
Approaching dusk, according to common sense, the palace gate is about to close, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter the palace at this hour.
But Li is the prince, and he is also the second son of the emperor with a high status, and he has just been canonized as the king of Zhao, so the eunuchs of the Yellow Gate and the generals of the forbidden army who guard the palace gate have turned a blind eye.
The prohibition was to protect the safety of the emperor and his concubines.
But the emperor's son entered the palace and entered Lao Tzu, which is also human, and no one will take it too seriously.
The afterglow of the setting sun lazily spreads down, coating the bamboo forest flowers and trees on both sides of the palace path with a faint red light, and the northwest wind blows, bringing a slight coolness.
Approaching the late autumn season, the temperature in Chang'an City is actually gradually dropping.
Li Ji walked quickly, he knew that at this time, the emperor must be preparing dinner in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace.
The magnificent Daming Palace was empty, and few palace maids or eunuchs could be seen, only the guards of the forbidden army hidden in the shadows cast a concerned glance at the Li Department from time to time.
Most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace lost most of them in the war, most of them died at the hands of the rebels, and a few were lost in exile.
Although the current emperor is still in power, the number of palace maids and eunuchs serving around him is too small, which is much worse than the prosperity of the past, and can only meet the basic needs of the emperor.
Of course, it won't be long before the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace will gradually become overcrowded again.
These palace affairs were previously supervised by Yu Chaoen, and now they were handed over to Li Fuguo by the emperor.
This is a key factor in the breeding of contradictions between Yu Chaoen and Li Fuguo.
Li was walking, passed the Hanyuan Palace, and bumped into Empress Zhang and her two sons, Li Zhao, the king of Xing, and Li Tong, the king of Ding.
Two teenagers with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes followed behind their mother in a decent manner, and they did not have the lively and cheerful nature of teenagers at all.
Empress Zhang slowly stopped and glanced at Li with slanted eyes.
Li didn't dare to slack off, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to pay homage: "Erchen meets the queen's mother" Empress Zhang smiled slightly and waved her hand: "King Zhao, no courtesy, where is this going?"
Li Xian got up and smiled respectfully, and was about to explain two sentences, but he heard a brisk footstep behind him, and a deep baritone voice immediately sounded: "The minister greets the queen mother" Li Ji turned his head and saw that it was Li Jiao, the king of Chu.
Li Jiao's demeanor was dignified, his expression was calm, and he bowed to the Zhang family in a reserved manner.
Unlike the Li family, who calls himself a son, Li Li is only willing to call one minister, which is of course not an exaggeration, because Zhang is not Li Li's biological mother.
Moreover, Li Li, who holds great power and is about to be crowned the crown prince, is more confident than the Li family in the face of the Zhang family.
Zhang's long willow eyebrows were raised, and he said lightly: "The King of Chu is also the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and this palace does not dare to be such a great gift to His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ” Zhang's words actually showed a little dissatisfaction.
But Li Li actually didn't care too much about Zhang's attitude.
For the position of the crown prince, Li Jiao is determined to win, and now all the military power of Chang'an is in his hands, his power prestige and military exploits have reached the peak, the emperor does not appoint him as the prince, and he cannot explain to the subjects of the world.
Therefore, Zhang, the new queen who has just been canonized and lacks background support behind her, Li Jiao only maintains the basic etiquette.
Li Jiao bowed to the Zhang family and smiled, got up and turned his head to look at the Li family, his eyes gradually became gloomy and sharp: "Why did the second brother come to the palace?"
Li Ji sneered in his heart, but said quietly on his face: "Big brother, I came into the palace to greet my father and the queen."
Li Jiao sneered lightly: "This king never thought that the second brother would be very good at being a man."
I heard that Kong Sheng was admitted to the house by the second brother when he arrived in Beijing, and he became a diner, and the second brother's method of soliciting people is really admirable, and this Kong Sheng didn't even give the face of the king for the sake of the second brother."
Li Jiao's words are actually heart-wrenching, and he put it mildly and put it mildly, he put a dangerous trap on Li.
Li Xian's face tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, Kong Sheng is an important minister of the imperial court, and the protégé of the Son of Heaven appointed by his father, how can he become a diner in the younger brother's mansion, but the younger brother saw that Kong Sheng had no fixed place in Chang'an, so he asked him to stay in the mansion for a few days and wait for his father to summon him." ” Li Jiao looked up to the sky and snorted, and then said coldly: "This king was summoned by his father, there is a military matter to discuss, if the second brother is fine, go back first, and come back tomorrow to ask his father for peace."
After speaking, Li Jiao walked away and went straight to Zichen Palace.
Li Xian's face changed, he hesitated for a moment, but still stopped.
He knew that since he had bumped into Li Jiao this time, even if he saw the emperor, it would be difficult for him to speak for Kong Sheng, so he could only talk about it another day.
He turned around with some disappointment.
At this time, Li Zhao and Li Tong came forward to greet him with a smile: "I've seen the second brother."
Li Department smiled and nodded to Li Zhao and Li Tong: "Twelfth brother, thirteenth brother, go out of the palace to the second brother's mansion to gather on the second day, the second brother has the best wine from the Western Regions, you can try it."
Li Department said respectfully to the Zhang family: "Erchen will also send a few altars to Niangniang into the palace tomorrow, and please don't dislike Niangniang." ” Zhang smiled slightly and bowed to Li.
Then, Zhang took Li Zhao and Li Tong away gradually.
Compared with Li Jiao, Zhang's impression of the Li family is naturally better.
But on the other hand, in Zhang's mind, the Li family cannot be compared with Li Li.
Li Jiao is the eldest son of the emperor, and he holds the military power, and it is clear that he wants to be made the prince, and his position in the Tang Dynasty is very important.
It's just that Li Jiao's arrogance made Zhang's heart very unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it.
Now the emperor has conceded three points to Li Li, let alone her as a queen with an unstable status.

Li Li was summoned to see the driver, and Li had to return depressed.
The next morning, after the court, news suddenly came out of the court, saying that the emperor was ready to change the title of Li Jiao to become the king, and add half of Luan to drive and honor the three divisions.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked, which not only means that Li Jiao's power has risen to an extreme, but also means that he is about to be canonized as the prince.
The official edict was not issued, but it is said that the emperor mentioned it at the court meeting, and the civil and military opponents of the Manchu dynasty were extremely rare.
Although Li and the others were irritable, they were helpless.
Kong Sheng learned the news from Murong Chong in King Zhao's mansion, but Kong Sheng was not too surprised.
Because Li Jiao was originally Daizong Li Yu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty after Li Heng in history, it is normal for him to be named the prince.
This is the historical trajectory of the original source.
Murong Chong secretly observed the change in Kong Sheng's expression, and seeing that he was not surprised, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and said tentatively: "Lord Kong, the king of Chu is now in power, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all eager to meet him.
Kong Sheng smiled and arched his hand: "Brother Murong, Kong and His Royal Highness the King of Chu don't know each other, and they have no origin, and Kong doesn't have the heart to climb power and attach nobles, so it doesn't matter whether he sees it or not." ” Murong Chong's eyes rolled: "King Chu" Before Murong Chong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kong Shengsheng: "Brother Murong, Kong went out for a walk, and asked Brother Murong to report to His Royal Highness King Zhao." ” After speaking, Kong Sheng turned around and left.
Kong Sheng was reluctant to talk to Murong about such a sensitive topic anymore.
Originally, Li Li invited him to come over, and it was okay for him to go there, but after meeting the emperor in secret, the emperor's hints and warnings were still in his ears, and Kong Sheng knew that the emperor was unwilling to let him get too close to any prince, especially Li Jiao, the emperor's eldest son, who was in the limelight.
Only one person can be loyal to the emperor.
This was the emperor's true intention.
Therefore, Li Jiao sent his eldest son Li Shi to come to solicit him, but he refused because he was sick.
It is better to offend Li Li than to anger the emperor In fact, if the emperor's arrangement becomes a reality, Kong Sheng may have to be a lonely minister in the court. oshow7 t1706231537:
