Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 303 Emperor Xuanzong
Li Tan frowned. Seeing this, Li Canghai took the opportunity to shout: "You guys are so brave, how dare you even search for the prince?"

"The little one doesn't dare, but this is an order from the superior, and the little one is only following the order. I hope the prince will make amends." The soldier said without the slightest fear.

Li Tan and Li Canghai looked at each other, and said indifferently: "It's okay, you can search if you want, don't delay the face of the king."

The soldier nodded again and again, and searched the two seriously.

They were not allowed to enter the palace until it was confirmed that they were not carrying any weapons.

However, just as the two of them entered the palace, the gate of the palace was suddenly closed.

"My lord, that soldier is lying. He clearly recognizes you but pretends not to know you." Li Canghai said in a low voice, "When he learned of your identity, the shock he showed was too deliberate. from."

With his hands behind his back, Li Tan said in a low voice with no expression on his face: "They are waiting for this king. The soldier just now is definitely not Ying Yangwei. It seems that you have indeed been right."

The two of them were silent all the way, walking in the palace in silence.

The Shangyang Palace in Luoyang occupies a very large area, with halls facing each other and towers standing in many places.

It was the first time for Li Canghai to set foot in a palace in the true sense. When he entered it, what he saw could only be described as shocking.

Pavilions, terraces, pavilions, attics and palaces abound.

He vaguely remembered a poem he heard when he visited the Shendu ruins in his previous life: The flowers and trees in Shangyang never fall, and Luoshui flows everywhere through the palace.The maid in the red building of the painting pavilion smiles, and the jade flute and gold pipe worry passers-by.The mantle city enters the stream of orange blossoms, and the jade chariot climbs the mountain with thick osmanthus leaves.I once read the Biography of the Queen Mother of the Immortals, and I have not won the middle reaches for nine days.

At that time, he only thought that it was an exaggeration of the poet who wrote it, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he knew that there was no exaggeration in the poem.

However, Li Canghai was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shangyang.

He knew that there was a turbulent undercurrent hidden in this beautiful scenery.

If this undercurrent flows, it will be enough to affect the world.

Li Canghai followed Li Tan closely, and the two of them walked straight to the Linzhi Courtyard where the banquet was held without saying a word.

On the way to Linzhiyuan, the number of guards increased significantly. It can be seen that most of these guards are from the Imperial Forest Army.

When the two arrived, many ministers had already arrived in Linzhi courtyard.

All the officials chatted happily, and when they saw Li Tan coming, they saluted him one after another.

"See Your Majesty."

Li Tan nodded slightly, glanced at the crowd, and asked the official beside him: "Master Zhang, how many officials are here now?"

"Back to the prince, there are more than sixty officials, big and small." The official bowed slightly.

"My lord, what are the grades of all the officials?" Li Canghai asked.

The lord Zhang glanced at Li Canghai, and couldn't help frowning.

With a lame leg and squinting eyes, crooked mouth and pockmarked face, he is just a real ugly monster.

But when he saw that he was following King Jianning, the lord Zhang didn't want to say anything, so he said: "Officials below the fifth rank are not qualified to face the saint. The officials are all above the fourth rank."

After saying this, Mr. Zhang cupped his hands to Li Canghai, and asked, "I don't know what rank you are?"

Li Canghai smiled and said, "Me? Wupin."

"Fifth grade?" Mr. Zhang straightened his bent waist immediately, and his tone changed accordingly: "Fifth grade officials are not too young, and it is also your blessing to meet the Holy One! "

Li Canghai chuckled, and said, "Master Zhang, I think you have misunderstood. I am not rank five, but rank no."

As he spoke, Li Canghai symbolically drew a circle.

Only then did Master Zhang come to his senses, his face turned cold instantly, a wave of anger rose, and he glared fiercely at Li Canghai.

He is a majestic minister of the Dali Temple, but he would salute a person without character, how could he bear it?
But he couldn't have an attack, he came with Li Tan, so naturally he was Li Tan's person.

The identity of King Jianning still has some weight.

Li Canghai winked at him disapprovingly, Master Zhang was even more annoyed when he saw this, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left with a snort.

Because his appearance was too ugly, everyone quickly distanced themselves from the two of them.

"My lord, did you find anything?" Li Canghai asked in a low voice as he scanned the crowd with deep eyes.

Sitting in front of a table, Li Tan raised his wine glass and replied, "The officials here are all important officials of the imperial court. It can be said that they control half of the Tang Dynasty."

"That's right, I just listened to their conversation. Among the six powerful people, except Cui Huan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, all the others are here." Li Canghai picked up a banana and said softly while eating.

Li Canghai didn't finish his sentence, but Li Tan understood his implication.

As long as these officials are controlled, half of the Tang Dynasty is basically controlled. This is indeed the best time to wipe out the Tang court.

Li Tan frowned slightly, his eyes swept over the crowd, and fell into silence.

As Xu time approached, a thin voice came: "The Holy One is here!"

All officials knelt on the ground at the same time.

Li Canghai followed the sound and saw a group of pedestrians walking not far away.

The maid in charge of the lantern is in front, and the canopy is behind. Under the canopy, a man in a dragon robe walks slowly forward with his hands behind his back.

Li Canghai glanced at the man, unable to hide his excitement.

The legendary Tang Minghuang, the creator of the prosperous Kaiyuan era, was also the promoter of the downfall of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The story of him and Yang Yuhuan has been sung through the ages. Li Canghai never dreamed that he would be able to see it with his own eyes.

At this time, Li Longji was over half a hundred years old, but the majesty of the emperor on his body was not angry.

"Your Majesty, my ministers, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Everyone loves you." Li Longji walked to the three-foot jade platform, sat on the dragon chair and waved.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After bowing down, all the officials sat down one after another.

At this time, Gong'e brought out plates of delicacies, and placed them on the tables in front of everyone in an orderly manner.

Soon, all the tables were filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Li Canghai looked around, only to see that the ranking of all officials was arranged according to their rank.

The emperor is above, followed by the envoys of various countries, then the descendants of the royal family, and then the civil and military officials.

Li Canghai was not a member of the royal family, and secondly, he was not a civil and military official, so he was not allowed to sit, so he could only follow behind Li Tan and pour wine for him.

However, it also gave him time to observe the crowd.

He glanced around the people present, but he didn't find An Lushan, but he found Liu Tong.

Liu Tong was next to Yang Guozhong, and there was no conversation between them.

However, Li Canghai keenly noticed that Liu Tong seemed very nervous.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and the weather was not very hot. He didn't sweat on his forehead, but he wiped it with a handkerchief from time to time.

In addition, Li Canghai also saw his left hand on the table, quickly tapping on the table.
