Chapter 43: great cause

After the execution of the Rakshasa bird, the emperor led everyone into the Shangyang Palace, and the banquet began.

Shangyang Palace is a new palace newly built in the past two years. It is connected to Luoshui in the south, and adjacent to the Forbidden Garden in the north. It is not as neat and solemn as the Ziwei Palace. Instead, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. .

It is now in March, and Shangyang Palace has entered the most beautiful season of the year. In the Shangyang Palace, the flowers and trees Fusu, the water is gurgling, and every step is a scenery. The emperor walked in the forefront with his close ministers, and the others sparsely followed. After a while, the team dispersed, and everyone looked for a place to play.

As the most favored princess, Li Changle was taken by the emperor’s queen in the past years, but today Li Changle is not very interested and has no energy to cope with the entertainment in front of him, so he deliberately slowed down and gradually fell behind.

Although it is a banquet today, it is still in officialdom. If you can write a good poem in front of the emperor and the magistrate, or say some unique insights, it will attract the attention of the emperor and the magistrate, maybe it will soar into the sky. Therefore, many new scholars and young elders followed the emperor step by step, trying their best to squeeze forward. Li Changle did not take the initiative, and after a while, he was squeezed out of sight.

Li Changle was getting further and further away from the emperor and the queen, and was gradually thrown to the periphery. She looked up and saw that the emperor was surrounded by many people. The servant was serving the imperial cautiously. Pei and his important officials gathered around the emperor and accompanied the emperor to point out the scenery. The queen walked beside the emperor, interjecting a word or two from time to time, and Li Chaoge was standing behind the queen. Half a step, everyone was also surrounded.

Li Chaoge had just killed the demon, and it was undoubtedly the focus of everyone’s attention at this moment. The Queen always carried Li Chaoge, and the emperor and Xianggong also talked to Li Chaoge from time to time. The maids crowded around Li Chaoge, scrambling to show Li Chaoge the sights.

Li Changle’s heart? Feelings are getting worse, and his interest in playing is wiped out. Li Changle had deliberately alienated her, but when she dropped out of the team, seeing the people in front of her was happy and uncomfortable.

When has she been left out like this before? Once she was the most favored princess in the palace, as long as she left for a while, I don’t know how many people were looking for her anxiously. But now, she has disappeared for so long, and none of the emperor and the queen of heaven have noticed.

Even the Queen and the emperor did not notice that Li Changle was missing. Also, they have another daughter who is more stable and capable, so naturally they don’t care about Li Changle. Li Changle was so wronged in her heart, she looked down at the ground, her nose was sour, and she wanted to return to the palace immediately.

Pei Chuyue searched for a long time, and finally found Li Changle in a remote corner. Pei Chuyue caught up, hugged Li Changle’s arm, and asked cheerfully: “Princess, why did you hide here alone?”

Li Changle blinked his eyes vigorously, forced his tears back, and said lightly, “It’s okay. I think there are too many people in front of me, so I’m here to be clean and clean.”

Pei Chuyue was thinking about playing all over her heart, but didn’t notice Li Changle’s abnormality. She raised her head and glanced at her face, and nodded in sympathy: “Isn’t it? There are so many people in front of you, no wonder you are annoying. Princess, the eldest grandson? Niang said that a new kind of help has been introduced in Luoyang recently. Divination is very accurate, do you want to try it?”

How can Li Changle have the heart now? Thinking of playing Fu Ji, she shook her head and said unhappily, “I’m not in the mood, so I won’t go.”

No matter how rough Pei Chuyue was, she felt that Li Changle’s mood was not right at this moment. Pei Chuyue lowered her head, carefully looked at Li Changle’s face, and asked in a low voice, “Princess, what’s wrong with you?”

“It’s okay.” Li Changle took a deep breath. She raised her hand to cover the sun and concealed it. “Maybe the sun is too big, so it’s annoying.”

Li Changle was obviously in a bad mood, and Pei Chuyue did not dare to ask any more questions. Pei Chuyue frowned in distress, wondering what happened to Li Changle. She blinked, and suddenly thought that the emperor had given Li Changle’s princess mansion to Li Chaoge just now, Pei Chuyue thought she had guessed the reason, she sighed, and asked clearly, “Princess, are you thinking about the princess mansion? It’s okay. , The saints and queens love you the most, and your dowry is definitely the most. Besides, even if the saints do not give you, you still have my brother. You will be married into Pei’s house soon, my brother likes you so much. Can you still be wronged? If you are owed somewhere, our Pei family will pay for it. In short, it will make the princess live comfortably in Pei’s family.”

Speaking of Pei Ji’an, Li Changle’s feelings slowly improved. Yes, she still has Brother Pei. After all, her husband-in-law is the closest person to her. If her parents and elder brothers alienate her, then she also alienates them. Anyway, Pei Ji’an will always be by her side.

Li Changle was relieved quickly, and his feelings slowly rose. That’s right, even if there are many people showing courtesy to Li Chaoge, Pei Ji’an is Luoyang’s best son-in-law, and this person is Li Changle’s fiance-in-law. Pei Ji’an alone is enough for thousands of rotten peach blossoms.

Li Changle’s eyebrows stretched out, no longer gloomy. Seeing this, Pei Chuyue let out a sigh of relief, patted her heart, and said: “Princess, you finally smiled again. I was worried just now? I was dead.”

Li Changle said softly: “Chu Yue, I know you are kind? But I can’t say those words just now. The princess mansion is the property of the palace, and the saint gives it to whomever he wants. A sister is older and better than me. , Princess Mansion bestowed on her the righteousness and righteousness.”

“Who said that?” Pei Chuyue hugged Li Changle’s arm hard, curled her lips and said, “Princess, don’t be presumptuous, you are not bad at all. If you want me to say, you are the best. A woman should be quiet and gentle. Stable…No, Princess Sheng Yuan killed the demon in public, and the limelight was out there, but what did she look like like this? And when she catches the demon, she mixes with men all day long. Everyone doesn’t say anything about it. In fact, it’s private. Many ladies below are uncomfortable. For women, marrying talents is the right way after all. When she shows her face like this, which family with a clean and honest family is willing to propose marriage?”

Li Changle twisted his eyebrows carefully and said softly: “However, the saint and the queen praised Sister A very much. Sister A also wanted to share the worries for the saint.”

Pei Chuyue snorted indifferently, and said: “It is a man’s business to share worries between the family and the court. A woman’s task is to read and learn rituals. Marrying a senior man in the future will be the greatest contribution to the family. Princess Sheng Yuan Huiwu, she always has to marry, can she still get out of the world by killing demons? Princess, you have two elder brothers, and the crown prince and Zhao Wang take over the important affairs of the court. What are you worried about? What are you? God’s life is good. You are a princess when you are born. Your parents love you. There are two elder brothers who support you. Even the marriage is sure to go smoothly. The only thing you have to worry about now is when you can be with my brother. After the marriage, I can give birth to the eldest son and grandchild of the Pei family as soon as possible.”

Li Changle blushed when he was said, and chased Pei Chuyue in shame. Pei Chuyue avoided, giggling and running around the flowers. The two of them were chasing and hiding, and they were tired after a while. They panted and fell into a ball while smiling. Seeing that Li Changle’s gloomy eyebrows disappeared, Pei Chuyue was relieved that it was obvious that the knot was completely untied. Pei Chuyue panted for breath, and when she came back, she pulled Li Changle and said, “Princess, look, my brother and the cousin of the eldest grandson family are talking over there. Let’s go find them.”

Li Changle blushed and was dragged away by Pei Chuyue half-pushing and half-situating. Pei Chuyue didn’t know who she saw, so she rushed forward, staggering Li Changle. Li Changle stumbled and stood firm. While shaking, he saw the emperor Queen and Li Chaoge sitting in the front pavilion. All three of them smiled and looked serious, not knowing what they were talking about.

Li Changle felt puzzled. Just now she saw the emperor and the queen surrounded by many people. Why was Li Chaoge only left? What does Li Chaoge want to say, and why does he want to open up the public? Moreover, Li Chaoge’s frequency of speaking with the emperor and the queen alone was too high.

Even the prince of the auxiliary government did not meet the emperor so frequently.

The doubts in Li Changle’s heart flashed by. She saw a few slender, handsome and graceful Lang Jun looking back at the other side of the lake, obviously seeing them. Li Changle’s thoughts were immediately filled by Pei Ji’an, and there was no more thought to think about Li Chaoge.

Pei Chuyue was right. The prince and Zhao Wang should worry about major political affairs. She just enjoys her life and waits quietly for her marriage.

In the pavilion, Li Chaoge found the opportunity to distract the crowd and talk to the emperor and the queen alone. After the palace exam, Li Chaoge was tired because of Li Changle and was helplessly banned. This also caused her to stay in the palace these days, and she didn’t have time to find Gu Mingke.

Ten days have passed. I don’t know where the Mo Linlang case has progressed, or what Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao did outside the palace. Li Chaoge was in the palace, and his heart? She decided to fight quickly and resolve the affairs of the Town Demon Division and Princess Mansion as soon as possible. Now that there are few things, it doesn’t matter if Li Chaoge is delayed for ten days. If the situation is complicated and changing rapidly in the later stage, if she is trapped in the palace again and can’t contact the outside world for ten days, then she may cause much trouble.

So as soon as Li Chaoge saw the gap, he hurriedly said to the emperor and the queen: “Holy man, queen, I was watching the stars last night, and I found that the fascination was traveling westward and approaching the heart? The next is probably an eventful autumn. The heart is the palace of the emperor, the heart When the hotel is disturbed, the purple energy weakens, and the evil spirit will flourish. The son is worried that the Rakshasa bird disturbing the eastern capital is not accidental. It is very likely that this is just the beginning.”

Yingluo Shouxin? It is a big evil omen, and all dynasties have attached great importance to it. The emperor made a deep face and asked, “Are you sure?”

Li Chaoge doesn’t understand astrology, but after spending many years with Old Man Zhou, she can still see the basic astrology. Li Chaoge nodded and said, “If the saint has any doubts, he can call the Qintian Supervisor for divination.”

The emperor fell silent, Yingluo Shouxin? Unlike other evil omens, this directly threatened the emperor’s heart, and I am afraid that no emperor could deal with it calmly. It can be said that this is the most taboo heavenly aspect of the monarchs of the past dynasties.

Li Chaoge saw that the atmosphere was ready, and he took advantage of the situation and said: “Sage, evil does not suppress the righteousness, and the purple does not seize the Zhu. Although the big Mars is plundered by the magic, the light is stable and continuous, and once the magic is defeated, the heart will sleep. The emperor star will be bright. It can be seen that although there have been disturbances in the near future, the subsequent emperor’s aura is very strong, and Li Tang’s aura is very long. So the saints don’t need to worry too much. Otherwise, it is very likely to usher in a flourishing age.”

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor’s breath would be long. He thought it was his death soon. But the queen on the side listened, her eyes moved, and she didn’t talk easily.

During this period, Li Chaoge gradually showed extraordinary talents, so the emperor was very convinced by Li Chaoge. The emperor never even thought about letting the Qin Tianjian verify Li Chaoge’s words, so he directly asked: “Then how do you think you should respond?”

“Period in extraordinary times? Extraordinary law. Dali Temple can control its subjects, but it may not be able to control monsters.” Li Chaoge sat upright and said seriously, “Dali Temple emphasizes uprightness and impartiality, but not all cases in the world. They are all exposed to the sun. There are many things that breed in the dark places of the gutters, which are often ignored by the mainstream, but they really affect the foundation of the imperial court and the stability of the world. Therefore, the son thinks that a new institution should be established to investigate Dali. The monstrous power that the temple disdains is chaotic, evil, filthy and chaotic. From another angle, safeguard the peace of the world.”

As Li Chaoge said, with his hands on his forehead, he bowed upright and said: “Please order from the saint to establish the Town Demon Division.”

The emperor was silent again. After Li Chaoge caught Rakshasa bird back, he and the Queen were very tacitly involved, and never mentioned the whereabouts of the criminal again. Li Chaoge was tacitly approved by the emperor to use criminals as personnel. However, the emperor’s willingness to open one eye and close one eye does not mean he? He is willing to let these people come to the stage and become a target with a formal identity.

Li Chaoge had talked with Tian Hou about the Zhen Yaosi before, but that time, Tian Hou was ambiguous and did not give Li Chaoge a reply. But this time, the Queen looked at the emperor’s face and sat aside and whispered: “Sage, I think this method is feasible. In everything there is yang, there is yin, and there are positives and negatives. There are too many cases in Dali Temple. Many times It is difficult to deal with it in time, and many unsettled cases have been dragged out alive. It is better to assign some to the Town Demon Division. In the future, the two divisions will perform their duties and complement each other in order to better share the worries for the court.”

The emperor still frowned and said, “There has never been a precedent for this matter. It might not be appropriate to rashly add an institution to it.”

Li Chaoge was anxious and was about to persuade him. The queen winked and said: “Chaoge, I know you want to share the worries with the saint, but filial piety doesn’t need to be anxious for a while. It’s rare that the sun is good today, the young girls are having fun, and you go out too. Let’s go.”

Li Chaoge knew that her words were far less powerful than the divas. After all, the emperor was an emperor, and he was naturally wary of others? The only difference was with the divas. The Queen of Heaven and the emperor’s husband and wife have shared hardships and wealth for 20 years. Her meaning to the emperor has far exceeded the role of wife. The emperor is indecisive, but the heaven is determined to be strong. As long as the queen agrees, slowly, the emperor will always be persuaded.

This is also the reason why Li Chaoge and Tianhou mentioned the Demon Division. This is probably an open secret inside and outside the palace. Some things the emperor agrees to are useless, and the queen has to nod his head? Li Chaoge originally thought that this life would be grind slowly, but what happened today has made Li Chaoge see a turning point.

The Queen changed the title of Li Chaoge, and uncharacteristically rewarded Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge immediately realized that Tian Hou was going to place a bet on her.

That’s why Li Chaoge dared to put forward the town demon division in front of the emperor. Today was the Jinshi Banquet, and the emperor came out happily to play, but she was a little rash to mention these things rashly. But Li Chaoge had no fear. She knew that the Queen would definitely help her. So early or late, she was still waiting for something.

Li Chaoge knew that the Queen had to persuade the emperor alone, but Li Chaoge would be unhelpful to stay here. Li Chaoge was very clear about his position, so he got up wittily, and said: “Yes. The son and minister retire.”

After Li Chaoge came out, the sun was just right outside. She stood at the intersection and looked around, not knowing where she should go for a while.

Suddenly, Li Chaoge’s eyes condensed, and he saw several men standing on the other side of the lake. Gu Mingke seemed to be among them. Li Chaoge said nothing, and walked quickly in that direction.

Of course Li Chaoge remembers that Mo Linlang’s case is still in the hands of Gu Mingke. Regarding her future development, Li Chaoge has to get through with Gu Mingke in advance.
