Chapter 370 Chapter One Tang Emperor Li Yuan

The VIP Hall of Todaiji Temple is full of imperial guards, all of whom have been carefully selected. Everyone has a strong back and a tall waist.The commanding general is Li Gengcheng Wang Zhi.Guan Xiaoran was very familiar with him. After reporting Xu Ziling's name, Xu Ziling took off his sword according to the rules, and accompanied by Wang Zhi, he stepped across the threshold. There is a row of windows in the north of the hall, and the outside is the garden with rain and snow.There is a row of more than ten chairs by the window, separated by coffee tables. Sitting in the middle is a man wearing ochre-colored poopy eyes. His skin is as white as snow and his face is pretty. He looks only in his thirties.But Xu Ziling recognized at a glance that he was Li Yuan, the Ninth Five-Year Lord of the Tang Dynasty and the supreme leader of the Li Clan.Not only because of where he was sitting, but also because everyone else was wearing official robes, his casual attire highlighted his respected status.

Li Yuan's expression was a bit tired, but under the bushy eyebrows, his eyes were still bright and clear, and there was an indescribable expression that seemed to be yearning for and pursuing some beautiful things. His waist was still straight and firm, making his majestic figure even more compelling.The hands that are holding the teacup to sip tea are long and steady, and the whole person exudes extraordinary charm.The master of one valve is indeed extraordinary in spirit. Xu Ziling intuitively felt that he didn't like to put on airs of the emperor.Still knelt down and kowtowed according to the etiquette: "Don't do anything, the little people, and pay homage to the emperor."

Among the four ministers who accompanied him, apart from Feng Deyi, Xu Ziling also knew Pei Ji, who had a relationship with Li Shimin when he sent the account books stolen from the Dongming to Li Shimin.It was that morning Kou Zhong rejected Li Shimin's solicitation, and made up his mind to compete with him for the world. Li Yuan put down the teacup gracefully, and said calmly, "Give me peace! General Wang can step down." Wang Zhi and the two imperial guards withdrew from the hall according to the order, Xu Ziling stood up slowly and stood with his hands down to show his respect.

Li Yuan's brilliant eyes fell on him, nodded and said: "This is not the imperial palace, everything is casual. Looking at your behavior, I know that you possess unique skills, and you are not an ordinary martial artist. Mo Qing, you come to the Guanzhong of Zhen today. .Do you have any wish?" Xu Ziling glanced at him sharply, and he felt it immediately, only then did he realize that the master of this sect has profound martial arts skills, no wonder he was able to train Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and other sons.Respectfully replied: "Mo Wei only hopes to do what the master Bu Ting ordered, in order to repay the kindness of knowing you, and he has no extravagance." He has been paying attention to Pei Ji's reaction, as long as he can't see through his true identity, he Yes, it is the first hurdle in Chang'an.

Li Yuan showed the domineering arrogance of the lord, looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh, and said: "Okay! I like people who are loyal and righteous the most. I heard from Feng Qing that you once witnessed a battle between my friend Yue Shan and Xi Ying. Let me explain in detail, without missing any details." Xu Ziling breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Li Yuan had no doubts about him, so he could act according to plan. The imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty is composed of two parts: the imperial city and the palace city.The former is the location of an office of the central government of the Tang Dynasty; the latter is the residence of the royal family.In the middle, it is separated by a large square-style street with a width of more than a thousand steps, which runs across the east and west. All reforms, amnesties, New Year's Day, winter solstice court meetings, military parades, and captives are all held here, so it is called "outside court".

The main gates of the imperial palace in the imperial city are three gates located on the north-south central axis. The south of the imperial city is the Suzaku gate facing Mingde gate, the main gate in the south of the city.The main gate in the south of Miyagi is Chengtian Gate, and the street connecting Chengtian Gate and Suzaku Gate is called Tianjie. Xuanwu Gate is the gate to the north of Miyagi, and outside the gate is the backyard of Miyagi "West Inner Garden".The three gates of Suzaku, Chengtian, and Xuanwu form the main axis of the imperial city, Miyagi, with strong fortifications and strict guards.Xuanwumen is also the seat of the headquarters of the imperial guards, with a strong military force, who can control Xuanwumen, etc., if they control the palace, or even the entire capital.

Baocheng consists of three parts: the Taiji Palace in the middle, the Yeting Palace in the west, and the East Palace in the east.Taiji Palace is the living place of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, the East Palace is the residence of Prince Li Jiancheng, the West Yeting Palace is the residence of Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji's Wude Palace is located in the West Inner Garden north of the East Palace. There are sixteen halls in Taiji Palace, the four most important ones are Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, Ganlu Hall and Yanjia Hall, all built on the central axis from Chengtian Gate to Xuanwu Gate.The Taiji Hall, also known as "Zhongchao", is the main building in the Tang Palace. On the first two days of each month, Li Yuan received officials and dealt with government affairs here.

To the north of the Taiji Hall is the Hall of Liangyi, which is the "Inner Court". Only a few trusted ministers who are qualified to make decisions can enter and exit. Major state affairs are often discussed and decided here before they are proposed, discussed and implemented in the "China and North Korea". Candidates and methods. Kou Zhong, the genius doctor, followed Chang He and Feng Liben into the imperial city from Anshangmen in the south and east of the imperial city. There are many government offices on both sides. On the left are Taichang Temple, Dafu Temple, and Shangshu Province; , Donggong Pusi and so on.What he pays special attention to is the Dushui Supervisor, because it is in charge of all the waterway traffic in Chang'an, and it has a great relationship with the Yuema Bridge where he hunted for treasure.Although he has never even seen the shadow of the Yuema Bridge, he has long believed in his heart that the entrance to the treasure is most likely in the sewer under the bridge, otherwise the treasure should have been discovered earlier.

When entering the square side street that separates the imperial city from Miyagi, people who are so familiar with scenes like Kou Zhong are also awed by the majestic momentum of this long street-style square that divides the north and south, and runs through the east and west, and is amazed.In particular, there is a heavy building on the Chengtian Gate. As long as you imagine that there are some celebrations in the Tang Dynasty held in the outer dynasty, and the emperor ascends the Chengtian Gate Tower to preside over the scene, you can't help but feel excited. He thought: One day, it will be me, Kou Zhong, not Li Yuan or anyone from the Li family who will go upstairs to preside over the celebration.

The three of them dismounted at the Chongming Gate outside the East Palace and entered the East Palace; the "Holding Gate Team" composed of the guards of the East Palace lined up on both sides, and the atmosphere was strict. Chongming Gate is Xiande Gate. Inside the gate is Xiande Hall, the main hall of the East Palace, followed by Chongjiao, Lizheng, Guangtian and Chengen palaces, and on both sides are Yichunyuan, Chongwenguan, Jixianguan and others. Some palaces and castles. Xiande Hall is the place where Prince Li Jiancheng met civil and military officials and supervised the state to ask about politics, but this time Li Jiancheng received Sha Tiannan and his son but chose Yichun Courtyard.Although Sha Tiannan was wealthy, he was not a foreign political figure, so it was more appropriate to build the Yichun Courtyard in the garden of the East Palace.

Kou Zhong still doesn't know the location of the Changlin Gate where the Changlin Army is stationed until this moment, it is probably the north gate of the East Palace, or the Xuanwu Gate of the Taiji Palace. In the rain and snow, Kou Zhong walked into the Yichun courtyard while the door officer yelled "Mr. Mo Yixin is here". Li Yuan listened attentively, and interrupted his narration at key points for further questioning.When Xu Ziling finished speaking, Li Yuan was surprised and said: "People's temperament determines the style of each person's attack. It is unbelievable that Yue Shan has become so calm and indifferent." Xu Ziling felt that Li Yuan's words were only addressed to him, and did not ask him to answer, so he hung his head and remained silent.In his description of the battle situation just now, he made sufficient preparations in advance, and described his decisive battle with "Tianjun" Xi Ying from the mood and perspective of a bystander.He also intentionally expressed at subtle junctures that he could not see through the mystery, so as not to be seen by Li Yuan as "brilliant". Pei Ji took Li Yuan's words and said: "This proves that Yue Shan has really practiced the 'Dafa of Changing the Sun' and transformed himself into another person. Otherwise, why would he abandon the knife?" Li Yuan sighed: "But I still feel infinitely melancholy! Thinking back then, Fu and Brother Yue fought side by side and went through life and death dangers to wipe out the horse bandits headed by 'Little Whirlwind' Ma Jun who were raging in northern Xinjiang. At that time, Brother Yue's tyrant How majestic and powerful the sword is, as long as I think that this situation will never happen again, I really feel deeply sorry." Xu Ziling's heart was shocked. In Yue Shan's posthumous volume, Yue Shan had described in detail Ma Jun's martial arts and the battle process of how he killed him, but he didn't mention a word about Li Yuan. There must be reasons Xu Ziling didn't understand.If you don't figure it out, you will show your flaws in front of Li Yuan in the future. Feng Deyi laughed and said: "I think the emperor doesn't need to worry about this, and Yue Gong abandons the sword, which means that no matter how amazing his martial arts breakthrough is, otherwise Xi Ying can't be put to death." Li Yuan murmured: "I also find it strange that Brother Yue has always disdain to socialize with people from the Demon Sect, so how could he suddenly join hands with 'Fat Jia' An Long and 'Pervert' You Niaojuan to deal with Xi Ying and Bian? Live up to the two?" Who can answer this question?There was silence in the hall. Li Yuan suddenly asked the minister beside Feng Deyi, "Does Shu Da know any progress in sending people to find Yueshan?" The minister named Shu Da shook his head and said: "There is no news yet. If a master like Yue Gong wants to deliberately conceal his whereabouts, I am afraid it will be difficult for anyone to find him." Xu Ziling knew it was time, and deliberately showed a hesitant look on his face, but he couldn't hide it from Li Yuan's sharp eyes and asked, "Why do you have something to say? Don't be afraid, speak out boldly." Xu Ziling said respectfully: "On the way to Beijing, Xiaomin once met Old Yue in Heng County. At that time, he passed by in a hurry and disappeared in a flash. Xiaomin still had a deep impression on him." Sitting next to Pei Ji, a minister who was short and fat and always had a smile on his face said, "Yue Lao must also be thinking about the happy days with the emperor in northern Xinjiang, so he wants to come to Guanzhong to catch up with the emperor. " A look of nostalgia appeared on Li Yuan's face, and Xuan was replaced by sadness. He shook his head and said: "He will never forgive me, never will. Although we are both losers in the end. Alas! More than ten years!" Xu Ziling sweated in secret, thinking that if he went to Li Yuan rashly according to the original plan, Li Yuan would see through him immediately.He also knew that Li Yuan's guess was right, Yue Shan would not forgive Li Yuan, otherwise Yue Shan should have mentioned Li Yuan in the posthumous scroll.Just because he hated Li Yuan, he didn't mention a word. He began to understand Li Yuan's character a little bit. His indecisive style was not because he lacked courage and charm, or his will was not strong enough, but because he was too emotional.The bitterness and joy in it are showing his attachment and pursuit of a better life.After Xu Ziling had this idea, he immediately became more fond of the Great Tang Emperor. Pei Ji comforted the Tang Emperor, who was unabashed about his inner feelings, and said: "The older a person is, the more pessimistic he is about the past. It's been more than 50 years! Yue Gong should stop thinking about the past. If Your Majesty agrees that the ministers can widely spread their eyeliner in the city, as long as Yue Gong enters the city, the Emperor will know immediately, and I will ask the Emperor to make a decision at that time." Li Yuan pondered for a while, Long Mu looked at Xu Ziling, and said: "This matter should not be publicized, otherwise it may make Ba Dao unhappy. Don't be afraid that since you have seen Yueshan, you can pay attention to it secretly, but this matter is only for you. Know it and proceed in a hurry. Give me five taels of gold and step down!" Xu Ziling thought to himself that although five taels of gold is a decent wealth, but compared to the generous gift of fifty taels of gold from the imperial court, it is nothing compared to the big witch, which shows that Li Yuan is not a spendthrift monarch.Kowtow and leave the hall. Prince Jiancheng stood up from his seat, happily went straight to welcome Kou Zhong who entered the hall from Yichun Courtyard, and the others hurriedly followed around, terrified that Kou Zhong called his mother in his heart, and bit the bullet to "cope" with Li Jiancheng's admiration.What worries him most is Dugufeng, Dugu Ce and Dugufeng, the three "old friends". If they find out their identities, even if he has the power to reach the sky, he can only end up hating Yichunyuan. Kou Zhong used the posture and footwork that he had practiced repeatedly for the past three days, and also used his skills to restrain the light in his eyes and change the size of his throat, pretending to be a foolish wild man who was at a loss when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince. Before Li Jiancheng arrived, he went to He knelt down and said: "The villain kowtows to His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Jiancheng rushed forward and lifted him up before his knees hit the ground. He laughed and said, "God bless me, Li Jiancheng. Miracle doctor Mo came at the right time, so there is no need to be polite. Miracle doctor Mo is Li Jiancheng's honored guest, so he is exempted from all court etiquette." .” Kou Zhong thought in his heart that this is the best, I am interested in kneeling and bowing to you kid.On the surface, of course, he pretended to be flattered, and he didn't dare to look at the other people who followed Li Jiancheng. He tremblingly said: "The villain dare not! Hey...the villain..." Li Jiancheng took his arm and said happily: "Sit down and talk! Sit down and talk!" Kou Zhong sat down next to Li Jiancheng. The prince of the Tang Dynasty introduced everyone in the hall to him one by one. Apart from the four fathers and sons of the Sha family, he also knew Dugu Feng, Dugu Ce, Dugu Feng, Chang He, and Feng Liben. Those who met for the first time were Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and Xie Shufang. Wang Gui and Xie Shufang should be Li Jiancheng's confidantes, and Wei Zheng was Li Mi's chief adviser. It is unknown whether Wei Guizheng joined the princeling camp because of Li Mi's close relationship with Li Jiancheng. Kou Zhong has no time to delve into this matter, as long as Dugu Feng and the others don't suspect him, and he can repay the gods, then he still has time to think about other things. Under the eyes of everyone, Kou Zhong took the fragrant tea offered by the maid, and after hastily drinking it, Li Jiancheng said happily: "I heard Sha Weng said that the acupuncture and medical skills of Miracle Physician Mo are a family tradition. I don't know if he has ever described a disease. Hot and disturbed, skin numbness, tinnitus and fatigue, qi below the navel rushing upwards, feet cold..." Kou Zhong knew that he was most concerned about Zhang Xiyu's strange disease, because if she could be cured, not only would he be able to please Li Yuan, but he would also be able to further strengthen his already very close relationship with Li Yuan's favorite concubine.And he was also on the verge of riding a tiger, had to face this sweeping battle, pretended to be "scared" and meditated for a while, then said: "The whole body is hot and cold, but the feet are cold, which can make ordinary doctors helpless. Because there are two causes of the disease. Numbness of the skin, and upward qi rush, it is the appearance of the two diseases interfering. But rest assured, Your Highness, this disease can be wrapped on the villain, and it is guaranteed to be cured by acupuncture." He talked nonsense, and he talked too much, completely with the mentality of going all out and doing his best, and if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.He thought to himself that with his "Secret of Longevity" to heal the wounded, how could Zhang Meiren improve a bit? Li Jiancheng was overjoyed and said: "In this way, we will ask Miracle Doctor Mo to give acupuncture to the patient immediately. While Father is going to Dongdai Temple, if you can rejuvenate with the help of Miracle Doctor, Father will be inexplicably pleasantly surprised." Kou Zhong bit the bullet and stood up with him, I secretly thought that in Chang'an, it was a dragon or a snake, so I had to look at this mother's shop.
