The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The surroundings were empty, and the Jinwu Guards who were guarding the palace stood not far away.

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Fu reminded in a low voice: "Don't discuss anything about the court like this outside."

Li Chengqian nodded repeatedly.

Only then did Li Fu loosen his hand covering the lower half of Li Chengqian's face.

Li Fu brought the three children to Da'an Palace.

He asked the eunuch to report to Li Yuan, and then took the three children into the palace.

Li Yuan was still playing mahjong.

"After I left, has the emperor been playing until now?" Li Fu asked the eunuch on the side.

"Yes, the other three old ministers have been accompanying him all the time, and they are all in a good mood today." The eunuch responded in a low voice.

Li Fu nodded slightly, and brought the three children to Li Yuan to say hello.

"Uncle, my nephew is back again."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Yuan turned around and saw the three children, and the three children also hurried forward to say hello to Li Yuan.

"Aunt."

Li Yuan smiled and waved, taking the three children into his arms.

"Hahaha, good kids, come to see Aunt." Li Yuan was very happy.

The ongoing card game was temporarily paused.

Li Yuan hurriedly ordered the eunuch to bring some delicious food to the three children.

"You don't have any classes this afternoon." Li Yuan asked.

"Uncle Wang went to Hongwenguan and gave us a lecture. Scholar Xiao also agreed to let us take half a day off." Li Chengqian said: "Originally we wanted to go out and play, but Aye and Uncle Wang said that there were a lot of people outside before the New Year's Day, so we should wait until this period is over."

"Well, your Aye and Uncle Wang are right." Li Yuan said: "There were too many people in Chang'an before the New Year. When there are too many people, there are all kinds of people, and the danger is more than usual. You are still too young. If you leave the palace rashly, what if something happens, Grandfather was so distressed. "Li Yuan touched Li Chengqian's little face: "It's better not to leave the palace, come to Grandfather's place, Grandfather's place has a lot of fun."

Then, Li Yuan looked at Li Fu: "You can take them to play in this palace. The room is warm, there is food and drink, it's more comfortable than anywhere else."

Li Fu smiled and said, "My nephew thinks so too."

When Li Fu brought the three children, the whole palace became more lively, and Li Yuan was in a better mood.

Originally, the four of them sat at the card table. Although playing cards was fun, there were only four of them in the huge palace. The eunuchs and palace maids serving in the palace did not dare to make a sound.

But Li Fu and the three children were different. When they played and laughed in the palace, Li Yuan did not feel noisy at all. Instead, he felt that this Da'an Palace was full of vitality and had people.

It's better to be lively and comfortable.

The old men played mahjong.

Li Fu, on the other hand, was sitting on a soft couch, leaning against a chair covered with thick fur, with Li Yuan's jade chessboard in front of him, playing Gobang with three children.

Li Chengqian was also sitting next to the chessboard, and after watching Li Tai make his move, he thought to himself, it's over.

"Four, lost, come on, next one." Li Fu also had a smile on his face.

With just a few moves, Li Tai was beaten to a pulp.

Next was Li Lizhi.

Little Lizhi was no match for Li Fu.

"I'll do it!" Li Chengqian, who was on the side, thought Gobang was too simple at first, but after seeing his younger brother and sister lose to Uncle Wang, he also found it interesting.

He wanted to try.

"Come on." Li Fu called Li Chengqian to swap positions with Li Lizhi.

While playing mahjong, Li Yuan took a moment to glance at Li Fu and his friends. He saw that all the children, big and small, were gathered around the chessboard. The eldest grandson, Li Chengqian, was staring at the chessboard seriously.

"Haha." Li Yuan laughed softly.

The old ministers on the side saw this and began to praise him.

"The emperor has a happy family life in the Da'an Palace."

Li Yuan felt warm in his heart when he heard this.

"It's good that the children are willing to come and play here with an old man like me." Li Yuan smiled and said, "They are at a noisy age. It's hard to make them study hard and have a full schedule. When you think back to when we were this age, wasn't it the same?"

"My family told me to study hard, but even if I had a book in my hand, my mind would have gone somewhere else."

"Hahaha, that's right." Another old minister echoed, "When I was a child, that time was so nostalgic when I think back."

.......

There were many people who came to Da'an Palace before, but Li Yuan was annoyed, especially annoyed.

Because those who came were people with thoughts, and they all wanted to get something from him.

Fighting for power and profit openly and secretly was exhausting.

But the children in the palace were different. At this age,The children came to Da'an Palace, and the palace became lively. The children didn't have so many bad things, and he wouldn't be tired because of those.

It was lively and relaxing.

The palace maids and eunuchs took care of the children, and Li Yuan was only responsible for enjoying it.

In the evening, Li Fu was about to leave the palace, and the children looked at Li Fu reluctantly.

"There will be a chance to play together next time. Besides, I will take you out of the palace after the new year." Li Fu smiled.

After saying goodbye reluctantly, Li Fu left the palace, and his guards were waiting at the palace gate.

Li Fu stayed in the palace for a whole afternoon, which was a long time. The guards would not stand at the gate of the palace all the time, but would stay in the duty room of the Jinwu Guard at the gate of the palace. When the eunuchs in the palace came to deliver the letter, saying that Li Fu was going home, they would quickly pack up and prepare the carriages and horses and wait outside the palace gate.

Otherwise, standing at the gate of the palace for an afternoon in such a cold weather would be freezing.

After Li Fu came out, he got on the carriage and went back to the residence of King Jingyang.

Along the way, Wu Liangye rode on the horseback, looking around while hurrying on the road.

The other five guards also walked while paying attention to the surroundings.

Since leaving the imperial city and turning into the alley, Wu Liangye always felt that someone seemed to be watching them.

Therefore, he and the other guards became more cautious.

Being assassinated in Chang'an City is a criminal record.

In an inconspicuous corner.

"Since King Jingyang was assassinated once on the Lantern Festival, he has brought guards with him when he goes out."

"Including the coachman, there are only seven people who can protect him. We will act quickly later. This time, Wei Zheng has five people, and we have more than a dozen people here. What are you afraid of? When the people come over, we will act immediately."

The people around him nodded.

Seeing King Jingyang's team slowly approaching them.

Wu Liangye rode on the horseback, frowning.

He stretched out his hand and stopped the team from moving forward.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Li Fu asked outside.

"What happened?"

Wu Liangye was about to speak when the sound of breaking air suddenly sounded in front of him, and arrows came straight towards them.
