Chapter 623

Time flies, and as the leaves turn greener, the Dragon Boat Festival is here.

Li Dan sent someone to call Wang Hua and Li Chiying into the palace together.

Wang Hua did not refuse, and Li Dan's methods were not very vicious after Wu Zetian's methods in dealing with the disciples and relatives of the clan.Otherwise, they will not delegate power to Princess Taiping and Li Longji step by step.In this case, it is better to kill these two people with another vicious king, and it will be settled once and for all, so why bother to maintain a balance.He also rewarded him for his merits and did not pose a threat to him.It is precisely because of this kind of psychology that the results are produced.

Of course, it is another matter for other people. For example, Cui Riyong almost wiped out the Wei family, but Li Dan did not make any statement, and completely acquiesced in this matter.

Or if Wang Hua didn’t go to Oceania, in Li Longji’s words, it’s an overseas remote place, if he continues to use the current arrogant attitude, and the blood camp is handed over to the Northwest, and he comes to Chang’an, something bad will happen later things.

Or if Wang Hua really listened to Princess Taiping and Li Longji, participated in their struggle, and destroyed the balance in Li Dan's heart, then he would not turn a deaf ear to Wang Hua.Unless after joining forces, the secrecy will be kept tight and Li Dan will not be informed.

This may be the last Dragon Boat Festival between Wang Hua and Li Chiying in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. After returning to Chang'an again, Wang Hua does not know when it will be until then, or Li Dan has long since passed away.Therefore, Wang Hua did not refuse.

Hand in hand with Li Chiying came to the palace.

Li Dan set up a sumptuous banquet in the inner hall, and even Princess Doulu came out to accompany her.Sitting beside them were Li Longji, Princess Taiping, and several other princes. They were chatting happily. If you don't know the inside story, from the current situation, it is impossible to see that Princess Taiping and Li Longji are at the point of daggers.

Seeing Wang Hua and Li Chiying coming, they also greeted each other affectionately and talked with Li Chiying and Wang Hua.Laughing from time to time, Li Chiying looked at his brother, then at Princess Taiping, with puzzled brows.Seeing Li Chiying's strange look, Wang Hua laughed in his heart.

However, Li Chiying's simplicity still makes Wang Hua like it very much.

After talking for a while, Li Dan asked, "Wang Hua, when do you plan to leave Chang'an?"

"Soon, the Kyushu's tripod project will be finished soon, and then I will do some trivial matters, and then leave Chang'an after finishing, it will take about a month."

"When you go to Oceania, you have to be careful at sea." Li Dan said worriedly.

"The Supreme Emperor, please rest assured," Wang Hua replied.

Danger There is certainly danger.But now the accident rate has dropped to a very low level.The first is that the load capacity of the ship is increased, and the wind and wave resistance is enhanced.The second is to be familiar with the routes, and to have a better understanding of the climate changes on the sea surface. At the same time, many original ports have been added along the coast.All these reasons make ships have fewer and fewer accidents on the sea, and most of them go to strange lands to develop and sacrifice on land and sea.

Li Dan sighed, still couldn't bear to see his daughter go to such a distant place, so he asked again: "When will you come back?"

Wang Hua shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm going to come back anyway, Your Majesty still remembers the porcelain vase I gave you?"

"The porcelain bottle is in my imperial study."

"Your Majesty, I have said that I am going overseas to expand the territory for this country. I will come back when I am on the tripod of Kyushu and the Kyushu is full of the footprints of our Tang people. People return to their hometowns when they grow old, and leaves return to their roots. It is the land that belongs to me. It just so happened that I only burned two porcelain vases, one was left in Chang'an, and the other was sent to Oceania. This is not for entertainment, but a goal in my heart. If all the land of Kyushu is developed, I will greatly There will be no shortage of land for Tang people in the future. Countless mineral deposits will be mined continuously. This nation, this country, will have the greatest advantage in the world, and will no longer be bullied by foreign enemies, and random things will happen. At that time, I will come back and bring back this vase at the same time, so that they can be reunited."

Li Dan didn't take Wang Hua's words seriously at all.

Just like opening up the area south of Jishi Mountain, it is already no small feat.It seems that the area is not small, but how can it be compared with the Kyushu painted by Wang?
And like in the north, even the Turkic people are unwilling to survive and migrate to the south of Xiaohai, let alone the Han people.What's the use of occupying it?

Then there is management, how to manage, what about America, if something happens from the east coast, it will take at least a year to report to Chang'an.

Well, not bad, now I finally know the east coast line.

Although Wang Hua was thrown into chaos and many people were taken away, he couldn't even find a single person in this vast area.Don't say that his whole life may not be enough for ten lifetimes.

It's a good thing that he has such ambitions, so he won't have to come back and mess around.

So he immediately said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this. You can also come back to visit your relatives often. After all, you are a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, not a fancier or a beard."

"Let's see when the time comes," Wang Hua thought to himself, that's not okay, as the power of Oceania is getting stronger and stronger, in the end, even overseas, the court may be afraid, can you come back?As soon as you come back, it will be deducted in all likelihood. Now that the imperial court thinks it is an overseas barbarian, how long will you wait if you don't leave?But he couldn't say it directly, so he answered vaguely.

But at this moment, Princess Taiping's eyes suddenly lit up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Li Longji rubbed his temples, feeling very worried. During this period of time, Princess Taiping had close contacts with some close ministers. He didn't know what they were discussing.

So he entrusted Wei Zhigu to inquire for him.

But he keenly sensed that Princess Taiping was discussing with these people something very unfavorable to him.

Under his agitation, his head hurt even more, so he said to Yuan Rongrong: "Go get me a medicine for headache."

Eating red arrow powder alone will not work.

Yuan Rongrong gave a soft "um", but she opened her mouth and didn't move.

"Rongrong, do you have anything to tell me?"

"No, no," Yuan Rongrong suddenly stood up in panic, and ran away quickly like a frightened little rabbit.

Li Longji smiled from behind, and said in a low voice: "Little girl is thinking about spring."

At this time, Li Longji was in a disadvantaged position compared with Princess Taiping, but Li Longji in his youth was generally striving for progress, capable of writing and martial arts, and he was handsome, so he became the object of admiration of all the palace ladies.

But at this time Li Longji was not very lustful, otherwise he would not have ordered Shangguan Wan'er to be beheaded.

The reason why I took this little girl to my side was because she looked clean and pleasing to the eye.But there is no other unreasonable idea in my heart, besides, the Wang family is tolerant, and under her instruction, he found many beautiful princesses for Li Longji.

Therefore, Li Longji thought that the little girl wanted to stop talking, thought that she was missing him, and didn't care.

Yuan Rongrong came out, her heart beating wildly like a little deer, but she was thinking regretfully, why didn't I tell the truth.

Her mood was restless, far from Li Longji's thoughts.

The reason is that the Yuan family found Yuan Rongrong in the past few days and tried to win her over, but they didn't dare to say that Princess Taiping wanted to make a move on Li Longji's consumption of red arrow powder.

I was scared, let alone her.Therefore, the idea in her mind was to let Yuan Rongrong get on Princess Taiping's boat first, and then make her unable to get off, and press her step by step.This method also obtained the consent of Princess Taiping.

Yuan Rongrong did not immediately agree.In fact, she told Li Longji many times in her heart.

However, she also knew in her heart that once she told Li Longji that if this matter became a big deal, the Supreme Emperor had to make it smaller in order to resolve it. If the matter was reduced, she would become an innocent victim.

Seeing Li Longji's peaceful eyes just now, he wanted to speak out again, but when the words came to his lips, he held back because of fear.

The palace was lined with green trees, and cicadas began to sing at the top of the trees.

However, Yuan Rongrong didn't pay attention at all, she thought in her heart: What should I do, what should I do?
At this moment, she accidentally bumped into someone, and then heard a crisp sound.

She raised her head and saw a eunuch bumped into her face, but she didn't recognize her. The eunuch looked at the ground, pointed at her and said, "You, you, I'm finished."

As he spoke, he opened the brocade box tremblingly. Inside was a piece of porcelain. The porcelain body was as thin as a cicada's wing. There were calligraphy and paintings inside and outside, but because it fell to the ground, it fell into pieces.

A piece of porcelain, no, Yuan Rongrong's face was sweating.

There is only one piece of porcelain that is so thin, and it is painted inside, in the entire palace.

If it is just a handicraft, although it costs a lot of money, it has not yet risen to the status of a national treasure.Because Wang Hua wrote eight characters, it immediately sublimated its symbolic meaning infinitely, even if there is no saying of reunion, it is also an extremely precious national treasure.

The eunuch said in a crying voice: "You are a servant in that yard. Why don't you have eyes when you walk? Princess Taiping specially borrowed it from the emperor for a few days to observe. How do you ask the old servant to explain to the princess?"

Originally, she did not agree to Princess Taiping, but when she heard that the priceless porcelain vase was still in Princess Taiping's hands, Yuan Rongrong's heart became cold.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xiao Song came to Wang Painter.

Although the generals of the blood battalion and the imperial court had their own factions, the arrangement should be pretty good, but in the capital, there was only Xiao Song, and the others were all at the border.

After all, the imperial court still has some fears about the generals of the blood camp.

Xiao Song got this arrangement because Wang Hua had mentioned him in the list of virtuous ministers, and secondly, he was from the Xiao family.So he was called to the imperial court to be the Minister of the Ministry of war.

Wang Hua asked him to sit down, and he was very happy to see Xiao Song, after all, he was once a powerful general under his command.

The two talked for a while, and Xiao Song suddenly said: "Inspector Ying, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Wang Hua asked him not to use this title on the third day, but Xiao Song didn't change his words, so Wang Hua had no choice but to let him claim his subordinate.

"Say."

"Even if the governor leaves the court, he doesn't want the court to be in a mess. Not for the court, the governor must also think about the people. Therefore, my subordinates boldly ask the governor to settle the court for the court before leaving."
Xiao Song said nah-na.

It's a bit unkind, although the words are very tactful, but it is clear that they want Wang Hua to help Li Longji.However, he was Wang Hua's former confidant, and he knew that Wang Hua was very displeased with Li Longji and Li Dan now, so what he did was a little flattering to the new master.

But speaking with conscience, part of it is for the future, and part of it is for the country.

Although his personality is not strong, but his heart is not very bad.It's just that you do things safely and don't want to stand out.

Wang Hua looked at him and said, "Did the emperor look for you?"

Xiao Song nodded awkwardly.

"You write down what I said today and leave it to your children." Wang Hua said,
Both Xiao Song and Xiao Zhizhong came from the Xiao family in Lanling, the descendants of Liang Gaozu Xiao Yan.However, Xiao Zhizhong moved to Shandong again because his ancestor Xiao Deyan, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, moved to Chang'an.Conversely, Xiao Song is the real direct disciple of the Xiao family in Lanling.

And Xiao Song didn't know it himself, but Wang Hua knew that there was a Eight-leaf Prime Minister in the Tang Dynasty, which means that there were eight Tang Dynasty prime ministers in one family, that is, Xiao Song's lineage.From Xiao Yu, to Xiao Gao himself, and then to his son Xiao Hua, grandson Xiao Fu, Xiao Hua's grandsons Xiao Chu and Xiao Fang, Xiao Fu's grandson Xiao Yu, and great-grandson Xiao Yu, all served as prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty.Xiao Qing, Xiao Fang's grandson, also served as Prime Minister of Later Liang.

It can be said that it is an unprecedented honor in the ages.

It is precisely because of Xiao Song's stable family style that the descendants of the descendants have a smooth career in official career.

Xiao Song felt a little guilty, but Wang Hua didn't give up.

He continued: "Even if I can beg the Tang Dynasty for a while, I can't save the whole life. Your Majesty is very wise now, but it will be hard to say in the future. Maybe you don't believe it, maybe you can't see it yourself, but your children can. See."

"You mean His Majesty will change in the future."

"I just made some conjectures based on his character. I have also talked with Mr. Zhu about this. But the matter has come to this point, and I don't want to make any changes. Let me tell you again, how rampant Zhang Yizhi's brother was at the time? The queen mother is still in charge In order to control the imperial power, I also deliberately arranged more than 1000 blood battalion soldiers to guard the safety of the queen mother. However, once the five kings changed, there were only five hundred forest troops, which immediately reversed the situation in the world. Now your majesty is in charge of the emperor's righteousness. If you do even this No, I’m sorry, not only will I not be able to help, but I may even make things worse.”

Wang Hua also mentioned this matter in his letter to Li Longji.But he didn't say that firmly to Xiao Song.

Xiao Song couldn't get an answer, so he had no choice but to leave, and he couldn't saliva anymore, otherwise he would really become an ungrateful villain.In fact, he came to beg Wang Hua this time, and he already felt ashamed and uneasy.

Just as Xiao Song was sent away, the concierge came in to report again, saying that it was a court lady asking to see him.

Maid?Wang Hua was stunned for a moment, could it be Li Longji and Princess Taiping's people?
"Let her in," he said.

After a while, I heard footsteps, and a handsome girl walked in.Seeing Wang Hua, she immediately bowed down and saluted, and said in a crisp voice: "The servant girl is Rongrong, the maid who serves the emperor."

Wang Hua said, "Get up."

But he was still suspicious, what did Li Longji ask a court lady to find him?Do you want to use beauty tricks, you just want to use beauty tricks, even though this court lady is handsome, she is not alluring.Besides, I am not a womanizer.

Yuan Rongrong stood up, and she asked: "I want to ask the Lord Marquis one thing, you burn that porcelain vase for the imperial court, how long do you want to burn it again?"

She asked a thoughtless question, which made Wang Hua even more confused, and replied: "It is a stroke of luck that those two porcelain vases were fired. It is not easy for me to burn them again. Even if you spare no expense, it will take a lot of workmanship." Skilled craftsmen assisted. But now all the craftsmen are dismissed, and the time is running out, I will leave the court, so these two porcelain vases are an orphan. At least for a long time in the future, it will be difficult for any craftsman to burn the same kind of porcelain .”

It's also true,
"Oh, I know." Yuan Rongrong gave another salute with disappointment in her eyes, and said, "Leave me, my servant."

Yuan Rongrong spent a lot of money to bribe the soldiers guarding the city gate to leave the palace quietly.This is still because she is Li Longji's personal maid, otherwise, without orders from others, no matter how much money she spends, she would never even think about leaving the palace.But Wang Hua said he couldn't burn it, and was disappointed, but he had to go back immediately.Otherwise, no matter how you say it, you will be in danger soon.

Just leave, but Wang Hua felt even more strange.

What's the matter?What kind of mystery is Li Longji playing?He also thought about Li Longji.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The weather was getting hotter, and Li Longji got up early in the morning.

As usual, Yuan Rongrong was asked to grind the red arrow powder for him.

In the morning glory of May, Yuan Rongrong's jade hands were grinding the powdered medicine, which was very beautiful.

The sun shines on it, giving off a crystal clear luster.

Li Longji saw this scene unintentionally, his eyes froze, and he couldn't help but chanted: "The slender hands are bare, and the snowy wrists are exposed."

Yuan Rongrong blushed when she heard this.

But Li Longji regretted it in his heart. Now that the situation is critical, he is thinking about this mess.

When Yuan Rongrong looked at Li Longji full of hope, she saw that his face had become extremely dignified, and she couldn't help but think to herself, you are just a little court lady, and the harem is more talented than you The beautiful court ladies are not ordinary, and you are born in poverty, just like a little sparrow, how can you dream of becoming a phoenix?
Thinking of this, she accidentally smashed the medicine into her hand, making an "Ah yo" in pain.

"Rongrong, what's the matter with you?" Although Li Longji didn't have any thoughts about Rongrong, after all, he was the maid he personally picked out, so he came over with some feelings, held her hand and inspected her injury, and asked with concern.

"Nothing, nothing?" Seeing Li Longji's concerned expression, Rongrong once again had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Be careful in the future," Li Longji saw a flash of love in Yuan Rongrong's eyes, and immediately put his hand down. This action was a little ambiguous.

Yuan Rongrong replied in a low voice: "Yes."

She lowered her head, ready to muster up the courage to tell the truth.

But at this time Gao Lishi came in and said something in Li Longji's ear.

Li Longji left immediately, and Zhang said that he had sent something.

After receiving Li Longji's letter, Zhang said that he did not reply immediately. He sent someone to quietly inquire about the news about Chang'an before sending this thing over.

Li Longji opened the brocade box with a strange expression on his face.

There was not a single letter inside, only a saber, lying in the velvet, shining with icy cold.
