In August of the first year of Taichu, Li Hao held a grand ancestor worship ceremony in the Ancestral Temple. Li Hao and the black-robed man hesitated again and again, but gave up the opportunity. At this time, less than half a year had passed since the assassination incident at Shenglong Paddock. The two of them were worried that Li Jun had been prepared and the assassination might not be effective.
It is the new day of the second year of Taichu. This is the beginning of a new year. As the king, Li Jun will accept the congratulations of the ministers today. After breakfast, he did not rush to the front hall to wait for the congratulations of the ministers. Instead, he went to an inconspicuous palace in the palace, somewhere between the cold palace and the other courtyard, Zhangze Palace.
This Zhangze Palace also has an origin. After Huanzong of the previous dynasty was killed by Jingzong, his first wife, the queen, was placed here by Jingzong. Some unofficial histories say that the queen was also involved in Huanzong’s death; Some people also say that the queen had an affair with Jing Zong, and the two teamed up to kill Emperor Huan Zong. However, according to official historical records, the queen committed suicide in the cold palace where Huan Zong died because she missed Huan Zong. Regarding this point, what is recorded in unofficial histories may be more credible. On the day the queen died, Emperor Jingzong also went to Leng Palace. Unofficial histories say that it was because Jingzong wanted to misbehave with the queen, but the queen couldn't resist, so she bumped her head into the palace and died. On Huan Zong's coffin, Jing Zong tried to cover up others' deception by saying that the queen missed Huan Zong too much and did such a thing. Because of such legends, later emperors were quite taboo about Zhangze Palace, and the originally grand palace gradually fell into disuse.
However, although the current Zhangze Palace is not magnificent, it can be considered clean and tidy. There are not many people inside. The most common ones are the guards, with five steps, one post and ten steps, for defense. It was so strict that it was obvious that a big shot lived inside.
In an open field, a four-year-old child was playing Cuju with the surrounding chambermaids and maids. The little guy had a happy smile on his face and seemed carefree. , seems to have no idea what kind of situation he is in.
Four or five palace maids and chamberlains played with him, but he snatched the Cuju away and kicked it all the way to the door frame. After looking at the door frame, the little guy kicked Cuju away with a strong force. After receiving a heavy blow, Cuju did not rush into the door frame as the little guy wanted, but flew out against the door frame. The little guy sighed and ran towards Cuju with his short legs. There was not much distance, and it was particularly difficult because of his short legs. After finally getting the Cuju, the little guy's face was filled with a happy smile, but unexpectedly, a black shadow appeared in front of him, and the others saw the owner of the black shadow. They all knelt down respectfully, not daring to speak. The little guy raised his head curiously, touched his head, and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Jun picked up the little guy and said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Li Hao rubbed his little head, how to guess this?
Li Hao asked: "Do you want to get out from here?"
"Get out?" Li Hao has been either staying in this palace or that palace since he can remember. For him, he has never seen the outside scenery, soNaturally, he didn't know what was outside, and he wasn't very curious about the outside. After all, his life was pretty good now. He had some food, some fun, and his mother. He was happy every day. He felt that this Nothing bad.
Li Hao asked again: "Are you happy here?"
Li Hao nodded, with a smile on his face, and said: "Happy."
Li Han smiled, put the little guy down, and left without entering the inner hall to greet Cheng Xueqi.
It was night, the Weiyang Palace was brightly lit, and everyone was enjoying the rarest rest day of the year at the banquet. Because of the special nature of today, Li Jun specially ordered everyone not to be constrained by etiquette. In the middle of the banquet, Li Ying dozed off, and Li Ye fell asleep early. Wei Haohao wanted to take Li Ying back to the palace to rest. Seeing that his wife and children had left, Li Hao had no intention of fighting with this gang. The elders talked nonsense and left.
Although the imperial city today is heavily guarded, entry and exit are quite free. Because of the special nature of Xinzhengri, you can enter and exit the palace at will as long as you have a token tonight.
By the time of the Chou period, there were not many ministers left in the Weiyang Palace, but there were quite a few people chatting and enjoying the rare royal scenery in the Imperial Garden and under the eaves.
The guards at Zhangze Palace were also relaxed a lot today. Although Wang Qi is the commander of the Imperial Guard, it is obvious that this commander does not have Li Jun's 100% trust like Qin Yao. Some members of the Imperial Guard were sent by Li Jun to guard Zhangze Palace, but Wang Qi, as the commander, only knew that these people were performing tasks, but it was unclear what tasks they were performing and where they were performing their tasks.
Two days ago, Wang Qi received a message from the man in black robe, asking him to help inquire about the situation of Zhangze Palace. Wang Qi was a little surprised. He didn’t know why the man in black robe was targeting Zhangze Palace. . But after inquiring about some results, I discovered that there was a secret hidden right under my nose.
The man in black robe, who had found out the doorway, took advantage of the darkness and broke into Zhangze Palace.
In Zhangze Palace, Cheng Xueqi and four-year-old Li Hao had already fallen asleep. Suddenly hearing a noise, Cheng Xueqi woke up from her sleep and saw the man in black robe untied the black cloth that had been covering his head, revealing his true face. Cheng Xueqi rubbed her eyes in disbelief and realized that this person was indeed the person she had longed for. She hugged the person with a mixture of joy and sorrow and complained: "You are finally here."
< p> The man in black robe also felt a little emotional and said: "I have been looking for you mother and son for more than a year. All I know is that he locked you up, but he didn't want to lock you up in the palace."Cheng Xueqi asked with some hope: "Are you here to save us? Hao'er and I are scared here every day. We have had enough. Please take us away."
