As the sky was shining, the freshly roasted Hu cakes were mixed with the sweetness of steamed millet, floating in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

In the East City, Hu Shang was removing the wine barrels from his hunchback. The wine in these wine barrels came from Kucha. The guy in the satin shop shook a piece of Yue Luo and hung it on the bamboo pole outside as a sample. It was as crimson as a cloud, and the merceration jumped on the faces of pedestrians.

The bitter fragrance of the copper mill grinding herbs in the medicine shop mixed into the newly opened mulberry wine smell in the wine shop next door.

Li Ying lifted the curtains of the car window wrapped around the wet mist, and he looked at Yankangfang from afar, with the hidden anger and worry in his eyes as if they were about to overflow.

He could understand Li Chenshan's style of conduct.

Just like when he killed the real dragon, he liked to push the whole situation in one go with the final say.

However, he was able to take risks like this at that time because the people in the world were living in poverty and the people were in trouble, and Li was also facing a life and death.

But when now?

The people live and work in peace and contentment, and all the wastes prosper, and the world is governed.

Although the ideas within Li’s family are not unified, why do we need to use such extraordinary means?

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was Li who fought to win the world, but if they didn’t win, they would be the end together.

But now Li has won the world, why should he take such measures?

Li Chenshan probably never thought that he would fail.

However, now, the entire Li family must pay the price for Li Chenshan's reckless behavior.

What will this cost?

Even Li Ying is as smart as he can't imagine.

...

The morning dew has not dried, and the mist by the Taiye Pool floats among the pines and cypresses.

The emperor stood in front of the pavilion window with his hands behind his back, rubbing a yellow ivory card with his fingertips, which was a military talisman that could mobilize the Jinwu Guards.

The sound of footsteps alternating between heavy and light came from the wooden ladder. A lame old man in purple robe walked up the pavilion and reached not far behind him, and said calmly, "Li Hanyan sees His Majesty."

The emperor turned around and asked the old man to take his seat and said calmly, "Why should Uncle Han Yan be so polite?"

Li Hanyan sighed with some emotion and said, "You may not be so polite on weekdays, but you must be polite at this time, so as not to feel that we have completely forgotten the difference between the king and the minister."

"You and I don't need to say these polite words." The emperor glanced at him and said, "You should understand that if the Li family's confidentiality cannot maintain a unified opinion, then it no longer needs to exist. Perhaps in Gu Shiwu's eyes, it no longer needs to exist."

Li Hanyan looked at the emperor and said seriously: "I must understand your real idea. If you want to take this opportunity to completely disappear from Li's confidentiality, then I don't have to spend my energy to do many unnecessary things."

The emperor said calmly, "The secret place of Li's family can exist, but it cannot exist as before. It must be regulated like other departments."

Li Hanyan slowly raised his head and looked at the emperor and said, "If Li's confidentiality does not accept it, then you will stand on Gu Shiwu's side and will go to a full-scale war with Li's confidentiality, and share your life and death?"

Without any hesitation, the emperor nodded and said, "Yes."

Before Li Hanyan answered, the emperor said again, "Uncle Hanyan, are you representing your opinion, or the opinion of the entire Li family confidentiality?"

Li Hanyan smiled with some emotion and said, "What I represent is the opinions of that guy Li Guihe and me, and Li Ying will also be with us. Those who do not have ordinary opinions with us will soon not have any opinions."

The emperor smiled faintly and said nothing.

Li Hanyan was silent for a moment and said, "We can accept your proposal, but Gu Shiwu may not give up."

"In my opinion, you still have a chance to remedy." The emperor looked at Li Hanyan and said, "If you follow the old man's arrangements, you may not be able to get out of Taiwan."

Li Hanyan nodded, he stood up and said goodbye, but before going downstairs, he turned around again, looked at the emperor, and said seriously, "You really won't have any problems?"

The emperor smiled proudly and said calmly, "If there is really a problem, I will leave the world early and nothing will be left, so what's the problem?"

...

In a courtyard next to the west city of Chang'an, old pear trees poked out of the eaves, with broad leaves stacked up. When the wind passed, a few stars of cicadas rustled and fell into the cracks of the bluestone beside the well platform.

An old woman who came from Youzhou sat on a rattan chair with a pair of calligraphy and paintings on her knees.

Even though the carriage was walking very slowly along the way, there were clinics and practitioners who took care of her vitality every day. However, the changes in climate and the different waters and soil still made the elderly woman very tired. She closed her eyes after looking for a while and listened quietly to the sounds in the courtyard.

This scroll of ink treasure is a combination of her two sons.

One wolf's hair is two parts, and we will draw a lovely relative's case to spring.

Her two sons were no longer in the world, but the old man with sparse silver wires closed his eyes at this time and listened to the chirping of birds in the garden. In a daze, her two sons seemed to be lying on her knees as if they were young, and fell asleep.

At that time, she was a girl with a pair of hair. In the courtyard where she lived in Chang'an for the first time, there was also a pear tree. In spring, flowers bloom like white clouds and fragrant. During the summer solstice, green pears hung among the broad leaves, like a tree of jade bells hanging.

Suddenly, she felt the fragrance of pears rolling in front of her nose.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw the smiling Zhou Lu'er shaking in front of her nose with two pears. Seeing her open her eyes, Zhou Lu'er pounced on her and wanted to twist her body like rolling, "Great grandma, you are really here."

Mrs. Zou suddenly laughed. She touched Zhou Lu'er's head with both hands, first asking Zhou Lu'er not to mess with his father and uncle's calligraphy and paintings, then asked Zhou Lu'er to stand up straight for her, and then she smiled with satisfaction, "My good-natured grandson, you seem to have grown a lot taller again."

"That's!"

Zhou Lu'er became proud. He jumped a few times to show Mrs. Zou how high she could jump, and then showed off, "Great grandma, your good-natured grandson is so powerful now. My shop business is a business that is worth dozens of shops. I don't even bother to count the money, so I asked Brother Shenxiu and the others to count it."

Mrs. Zou smiled at the ear of her head, "So my good-good grandson is so powerful now."

She was happy in her heart, patted Zhou Lu'er on the back and hummed a small song from Youzhou.

When Zhou Lu'er was young, she always hummed this little song when she was holding Zhou Lu'er before she was sent out of the customs.

"Great grandma, Chang'an is much more fun than Youzhou. You won't leave after you come, right?" Zhou Lu'er praised her for singing nicely while acting coquettishly.

Mrs. Zou smiled and said, "I can't walk anymore... I can't walk anymore, so my grandmother stays in Chang'an."

Zhou Lu'er was happy, "Grandma, it's okay if you can't walk. I can jump around with you on my back. Tell me wherever you want."

"Then you can't get me apart." Mrs. Zou nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the courtyard wall, and the soles of the boots stepped on the bluestone slabs, making a dull sound, from far to near. The footsteps were initially messy, but gradually became uniform, and it seemed that the person who came deliberately sorted out his appearance in front of the door.

Someone came in to report and whispered a few words to Mrs. Zou.

Mrs. Zou ordered, "Let Li Ying come in."

Zhou Lu'er didn't care about the guests. He looked at Mrs. Zou and whispered in her ear, "Great grandma, tell you a secret. Brother 15 in the city is fake. Brother 15 is not in the city, otherwise he would definitely come with me."

Mrs. Zou smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit, "I understand, but this person happened to be for your fifteenth brother."

"Is that true?"

Zhou Lu'er saw a man wearing a clean robe walking through the door.

The man looked worried, and he was not surprised to see him. He came forward and bowed, saying, "Li Ying had met Mrs. Zou and Buddhist sons."

Zhou Lu'er smiled and replied, "Brother Li Ying, then we will get closer in the future."

Li Ying didn't know that Zhou Lu'er was like this to everyone, so he was slightly stunned.

Mrs. Zou stood up tremblingly and bowed, asked Li Ying to take her seat in the hall, and then took the initiative to say, "After getting up this morning, the palace has sent me a message. I roughly know what happened. So you are in a hurry to come to me, are you trying to ask about my opinion?"

Li Ying said solemnly, "I'm afraid only you and Master Xuanqing can solve such a problem."

"Master Xuanqing will not solve it because he will not interfere directly in such a thing." Mrs. Zou looked at Qingli swaying on the pear tree and said extremely simply, "If you want to ask me how to solve it, you will first abolish the position of prince within two days. Because according to my understanding of Gu Shiwu, within two days his order will arrive in Chang'an. If you cannot do something to calm his anger within two days, his series of counterattacks will come like a tide."

Mrs. Zou was so straightforward, but Li Ying calmed down.

He nodded and said, "Destroy the prince first, then what?"

Mrs. Zou looked at him and said slowly, "The emperor should have expressed to you that if you want to continue to exist, you must accept supervision and not be free from the law. If you accept it, you'd better let Gu Shiwu know your attitude immediately. Also, there must be a place for Mingyue Pavilion in the regulatory examination department of Li's confidentiality. You should understand that if he can't stare at you personally, he will not be relieved of you in the future."

Li Ying was silent for several breaths, nodded, and said, "For the removal of the prince, some people still need to say something from the old lady."

Mrs. Zou also nodded and warned seriously, "This matter is not uncontrollable, but the most rare thing at the moment is not the removal of the prince, but whether your Li family can agree on the inside of the confidentiality of the situation. Although Li Chenshan died, those of his people, or those who share the same opinions as him, will be useless if you cannot solve it."

Li Ying stood up, bowed seriously, and said, "We will follow your advice, but if we cannot reach a unified unity within a short period of time, please give us a certain amount of time."

Mrs. Zou looked at Li Ying with a gentle look and said softly, "Since you accept the emperor's advice, then at this time, don't think about solving this matter with your own strength. You can understand this principle, but sometimes when you should let it go, your pride will not make you let go."

...

The prince put down the booklet in his hand.

The cicadas made him feel a little upset.

He knew that something big had happened today, because even the palace servants who secretly monitored him seemed to have disappeared.

He did not think that his father could win quickly in the battle with Li's secret place. However, when the court was finished, no one informed him, and no one secretly informed him of the content of the court's discussion today, his expression gradually became bloodless.

But sitting and waiting for death has never been his style.
