Chapter 637: Persuading the King of Guangping
Li Yu, the king of Guangping, has been busy these days, and since the Li family, the king of Nanyang, was revealed to be the mastermind behind the assassination case, the power to promote the southern border army of the sword has fallen on his head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info However, Li Yu was already involved in the new army and had no time to take care of it, so where did he have the time and energy to take care of the southern border army of Jian? After writing to the Son of Heaven several times, Li Yu officially recommended Li Yan, the king of Jianning, to take over the southern border army of Jiannan stationed at Ziwu Pass.
After Li Yan took over the southern border army of Jian, he was full of spirit, full of ambition, and planned to do something.
On this day, he found his imperial brother Li Yu, hoping to help this talkative imperial brother again, and suggested to his father that the southern border army of the sword should also be listed in the Eastern Expedition army under the command of Fang Xianggong.
After Li Yu heard Li Yan's intention, he thought for a moment and shook his head again.
"Which soldiers and horses to send out of Tongguan are the result of careful consideration by the father and several ministers, and the father may not agree to ask for instructions rashly. ”
Although Li Yu is a good man, after all, he is the eldest son and grandson of the Son of Heaven's family, and he has an instinctive political sense, but everything involving the use of swords and soldiers is extremely sensitive, and Li Yan is a prince, if he is calculated by someone with a heart because of this, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, Li Yu was thinking about how not to hurt the brotherhood and politely refuse Li Yan's request.
At this moment, a eunuch opened the curtain and walked in.
This is an internal supervisor who is very familiar with Li Yu, and when he saw Li Yan present, he was a little embarrassed and silent, but stood aside respectfully.
Li Yu knew that this eunuch who was familiar with him must have come here with official business, so he asked:
"What's the matter with the inner supervisor?"
"Back to King Guangping, the eldest princess of Shou'an is back, Your Majesty please go with you!"
"Is the eldest princess of Shou'an arriving in Beijing today?"
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this, he remembered that it would only arrive tomorrow, why did he arrive today?
"That's right, I'm arriving in Beijing today. ”
After receiving the eunuch's affirmative answer, Li Yucai patted his head and secretly said that he was really busy and confused, and he forgot the time.
Although the eldest princess of Shou'an is younger than him, she is his imperial aunt in terms of seniority, and the relationship between the two is also good on weekdays.
So, Li Yu took this as an excuse and said to Li Yan:
"Let's talk about sending troops in the future, let's go, let's go visit the imperial aunt!"
Seeing that Li Yu refused to help, Li Yan was a little disappointed, but he still rushed to Taiji Palace with Li Yu.
Unexpectedly, halfway down the road, he bumped into Cui Guangyuan, the two cars stopped in one place, and the two sides greeted each other. At this time, Cui Guangyuan suddenly asked Li Yu to board the car to talk about it, Li Yu didn't know why, but he also knew that there must be something important to do so, so he let Li Yan ride his car alone, and he jumped into Cui Guangyuan's car.
Entering the carriage, Li Yu was stunned. It turned out that there was another person in the car, and he also knew this person, it was the veteran Huangfu Ke who had just returned to Chang'an from Hedong.
"Old General Huangfu, when did you return to Chang'an?"
Li Yu was very surprised, because he had learned from Qin Jin that Huangfu Ke's troops were killed in Hedong, and he himself did not know whether he was alive or dead. Now that I'm back intact, it's conceivable that it's also a life of nine deaths.
Quietly looked at Huang Fu Ke, but seeing that there was no sign of serious injuries on his body, Li Yu was a little relieved, and turned to ask how the war was going in Hedong.
Who knows, the emperor said:
"The old man saw that King Guangping was not for the war in Hedong, but for Doctor Qin!"
"Doctor Goshi?"
Li Yu was stunned again, and immediately understood that this was not their chance encounter, but the other party's intention to wait here to see him. Hearing Huangfu's words about Qin Jin again, a trace of doubt rose in his heart.
"The old man has just returned to Chang'an, and he has already heard that the Son of Heaven has set the wedding date of Dr. Qin and Princess Shou'an on the seventeenth of next month, dare to ask you whether the king of Guangping is or not?"
Li Yu was asked inexplicably, and said in his heart that this matter is known to everyone in Chang'an City, so why do you need to answer it yourself, but for the sake of Huangfu Ke's question, he also answered truthfully:
'Indeed!'
After hearing this, Huangfu slapped his thigh violently.
The old man asked King Guangping to stop the marriage between Doctor Qin and Princess Shou'an no matter what!"
At this time, Li Yu's heart was already a little unhappy, Qin Jin and the marriage of Emperor Shou'an was a double happiness for them, how could it be that it seemed to be a disaster in Huangfu Ke's mouth. But Li Yu's cultivation is very good, even if he is dissatisfied, he will not show it immediately, he only looks at Huang Fuke with a puzzled gaze, waiting for the other party to give a satisfactory answer.
Huangfu Ke seemed to know that Li Yu would be unhappy, so he continued:
"King Guangping, don't be angry, the old man is not doing this for a certain person, but for the sake of Datang Sheji!"
Li Yu was even more confused, how to stop the marriage between Qin Jin and Emperor Shou'an was for the sake of the Tang Dynasty? But he still didn't speak, just waited quietly and listened.
And Cui Guangyuan on the side didn't speak, only looked at Li Yu with a concerned gaze, and couldn't see whether he supported Huang Fuke's statement. It's just that looking at Cui Guangyuan's expression, he should know exactly what Huang Fuke is going to say at this time.
"The old man only asked King Guangping one question, since Taizong started in the Tang Dynasty for more than 100 years, have you ever seen a horse in charge of the power of soldiers and horses, and made immortal feats?"
Li Yu's heart sank faintly, as if he had already touched the reason for Huangfu Ke's question, but he couldn't or didn't want to confirm it for a while, so he shook his head.
"Not a single case!"
Huang Fu Ke asked again:
"Why not?"
Li Yu was asked, there are many reasons for this, one of which is that the woman of the Li family is too strong and has a bad reputation, but anyone who has some ability is unwilling to marry the woman of the Li family. There is even a proverb circulating in the market, "Princess Shang, raise the official mansion on the ground"!
It means that marrying a princess is equivalent to setting up an official palace in the family to manage yourself. It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty, regardless of the government and the people, does not regard marrying a princess as a beautiful thing. However, how could Huangfu Ke persuade himself to stop Qin Jin's marriage with Huanggu for such a thing?
Then there is only one way left, and because of the power struggle, the mere word prevention may bring many unpredictable obstacles to the person who is a colt. There is even a perception in officialdom that will not be explicitly stated, that is, once a person becomes a colt, his future will stop there.
Li Yu's heart was beating wildly, could it be that Huangfu Ke persuaded him to ask for help for this reason?
Even if Li Yu figured it out, he wouldn't say it, not only did he not say it on the spot, but he even asked Huang Fuke.
"Since the old general intends to prevent this, why don't you directly persuade Doctor Qin?
But when he saw the emperor, he sighed.
"King Guangping thinks that the old man didn't persuade Doctor Qin?
Huangfu Ke paused for a moment, as if he hesitated, but then gritted his teeth and said:
"Doctor Qin is the dragon and phoenix among the people, the talent of the pillars of the world, but unfortunately he can't pass the level of women, he was the burden of tens of millions of people, but he actually put himself in danger, the old man, the old man really can't bear to ......"
Saying that, Huangfu Ke couldn't cry because of his emotion. Seeing this, Li Yu's original unhappiness immediately disappeared, in the final analysis, Huang Fuke was so anxious because of his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, and it would be too chilling to blame him for this.
Li Yu also knew what Huang Fu Ke was referring to when Qin Jin couldn't pass the woman's pass, and it wasn't that Huang Gu was misdiagnosed with sores at the beginning, and someone suggested killing her to protect the officials and people of the city. At that time, even his father hesitated, and when he was in a dilemma, it was Qin Jin who stood up, protected the isolated imperial aunt, and personally escorted her out of Chang'an, which was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Although Qin Jin was reckless in doing this, in Li Yu's opinion, it was all a manifestation of affection and righteousness, and the sharing did not look down on Qin Jin because of this, but increased his favor and respect. It was also from that time that Li Yu thought that Qin Jin was a person who could be entrusted with big things, not a mercenary as rumored.
You must know that sores are extremely contagious, and once you get it, there is no cure, and there is no one in a hundred who can survive. And Qin Jin was so close to the imperial aunt that it was almost inevitable that he would be infected......
Finally, Li Yu pulled himself back from his memories, because he had already heard the sound of the palace gate opening and closing from outside the carriage, and when he entered the imperial city, he saw that he was in Taiji Palace.
Seeing that Li Yu was stunned, Huangfu Ke's face was full of anxiety, and he asked anxiously:
"What is the heart of King Guangping, please tell the old man!"
Li Yu really couldn't make this decision in his heart, Emperor Shou'an had gone through so much suffering, it could be said that she was alive and dead, how could she bear to stab her with her own hands at this time? However, what Huang Fu Ke was worried about was not completely unreasonable, and who would have expected that Qin Jin would be a blessing or a curse when he became a concubine? Looking at it by taking 10,000 steps back, it would also add more uncertainty to the future.
At this time, Li Yu even secretly complained to the Emperor Taishang and his father, why did he marry Emperor Shou'an's aunt to Qin Jin? If he hadn't made this decision at the beginning, he wouldn't have to face this kind of trouble now. Suddenly, Li Yu's heart trembled, and while thinking of the Emperor Taishang, that is, the emperor's grandfather, a somewhat surprising thought flashed in his mind.
Could it be that the Emperor Taishang made this decision in order to reduce the military power of the Qin and Jin Dynasties?
The Emperor's methods are ruthless, once he makes a decision, he will be ruthless, even if it is his own son, which Li Yu was already familiar with when he was the heir, and now he has connected all kinds of things, and it seems that he has touched a trace of the vein.
But this context only made Li Yu feel cold in his heart, he just wanted to ask why, why was the Emperor so suspicious of Qin Jin, who was bent on the country? And his father, since his father had already won the throne, why was he confused?
