Chapter 1: Cold Night (8)

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai were shocked and jumped up from the couch together. Di Renjie walked a few steps to Li Xian and bowed and said, "Why did the Prince's prince come suddenly? If you have something to ask the old minister to go over..." Li Xian shook his head slightly irritatedly, "George Di, the incident is urgent, so I don't care much." He turned his head and saw Zeng Tai bowing to him, and was stunned: "Zeng Tai? Why are you here... Oh, I remember, you will take over as the Minister of Dali Temple."

Zeng Tai said: "Your Highness, Zeng Tai, the Shendu, whom you just arrived this morning. You have something to talk about with your mentor, so Zeng Tai will avoid it now." Li Xian waved his hand and said: "No, you are just right. This matter has something to do with you." Di Renjie asked Li Xian to take the seat of the master, and then he sat down. Zeng Tai and Shen Huai stood by. Di Chun quietly withdrew from the study and closed the door.

The study room was silent for a moment. Li Xian was silent for a while before sighing: "Old Master Di, my luck is really bad." Di Renjie said calmly: "Your Highness, don't worry, what happened?"

"Oh!" Li Xian frowned and said, "The Master of the Pavilion must know that the emperor cannot preside over the year-end holiday and New Year celebrations because of his lack of peace. Yesterday, he issued an order and I will preside over all the celebrations." "This old minister has heard that the emperor can issue this order fully demonstrates her trust and expectations for the Prince's Highness. Presiding on the New Year celebration is also a great opportunity for the Prince to establish his dignity in front of all officials, the four barbarians and even the people of the world. The old minister thinks that this is a great blessing for the prince."

Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "After that being said, hosting the New Year ceremony is of great importance and no mistake can be made. I have made careful preparations for the sake of the grand ceremony these days, and I just want to get things done. But who knows that there was an unexpected change last night! Now I am really at a loss. After thinking about it, I have to come and ask the cabinet master for advice."

"I wonder what the great change that His Highness the Crown Prince said?"

"Old Master Di Ge, the Minister of the Honglu Temple and Shaoqing were attacked near Binyao Gate last night! Shaoqing Liu Yifei was killed. Zhengqing Zhou Liangkun was too frightened. He is still confused and has not woken up from the situation!" "What happens like this?" Di Renjie frowned and said, "The Zhengqing and Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple were attacked at the same time? Wouldn't the preparation for the New Year celebration be greatly affected?"

Li Xian sighed: "The New Year celebration is actually almost ready. But the problem is that the Honglu Temple is responsible for all the matters of the celebration ceremonies. Now Zhengqing cannot be in charge of the director, Shaoqing died, and the dragon has no leader. This New Year celebration cannot be held at all!"

Di Renjie looked at Li Xian and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, the New Year celebration will be held no matter what. Since the preparations are ready, as long as there is a suitable person to temporarily take charge of the Honglu Temple, organize all related matters, and ensure that the celebration is foolproof." He smiled and continued, "Does Your Highness the Crown Prince have already made plans in his heart?"

Li Xian stood up and bowed deeply to Di Renjie, "Please help Master Di and help me overcome this difficulty." Di Renjie supported Li Xian and said sincerely: "The old minister will never refuse Li Tang's death, so the prince doesn't have to be too polite." Li Xian nodded with great admiration. Di Renjie continued: "Today is already the 27th day, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there is not much time left. We must start action immediately."

Li Xian nodded and said, "Yes. I immediately went to the palace to ask the emperor for the imperial edict. Although the emperor has granted me full authority, she should still let her know." Di Renjie said, "Okay, this is very appropriate. I will go to Zhou Liangkun's mansion to see what his situation is. If he wakes up, at least I can know his arrangements for the celebration." He looked at Zeng Tai again and said, "Zeng Tai, please come with me too. The Zhengqing and Shaoqing of Honglu Temple were attacked in the imperial city at the same time, but a major case will sooner or later fall on the head of Dali Temple. You might as well start investigating from now on."
