Suspicious, he followed Yu Shi to the former Changsun Mansion, Li Shao looked up at the plaque that read "Tiance General's Mansion", and only felt that the scene in front of him was familiar and unfamiliar.
Sensing that someone walked to his side and stood still, Li Shao chuckled lightly and said, "I still like the three words 'Changsun Mansion' written by General Changsun himself." β
"But I don't like it." The eldest grandson Boyi smiled self-deprecatingly, and raised his feet to climb the stone steps in front of the mansion gate.
He has already made the surname "eldest grandson" dusty, why should he be embarrassed again?
"I've always regretted it," Li Shao suddenly spoke, his voice was not small, the eldest grandson Boyi who was walking in front could just hear it, and Yu Shi, who was following behind, could also hear it, "If the marriage date had been advanced by two months, would the eldest grandson's mansion be spared?" If I had gone out of the palace to look for you as soon as I received the news, would I have been able to live and die with you in the past ten years? β
The eldest grandson Boyi's footsteps stopped, but he didn't turn his head to look at Li Shao.
"In this world, there are no ifs."
Looking at the stiff back of the eldest grandson Boyi, Li Shao asked again: "Boyi, do you hate me?" β
After being silent for a long time, the eldest grandson Boyi did not answer Li Shao's question, but just took a new step.
The eldest grandson Boyi did not reply that he hated, which made Li Shao quite surprised.
Smiling helplessly, Li Shao took a step to keep up with Changsun Boyi, but his mouth was idle: "You shouldn't leave the palace at this time, there are actually many people who are willing to work hard for Li Zheng." β
If Li Zheng continues to be the emperor, many people can still live a life of spending money, but if the eldest grandson Boyi is allowed to take power, their good days are afraid to come to an end.
The eldest grandson Bo Yi said proudly: "I moved here to give them the opportunity to get close to me. β
"Then why did you bring me?" Li Shao was puzzled.
The eldest grandson Boyi turned his head and glanced at Li Shao at this time, and said, "Your Majesty has allowed me to deal with the Li family's felons with my own hands, and it has always been like this. β
Therefore, everyone who died died at his hands. Moreover, Li Shao is too shrewd, and he is not at ease if he doesn't put people in front of him.
"Your Majesty......" Li Shao pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Bo Yi's relationship with the little emperor seems to be good, and he is going to be jealous.
Seeing Li Shao walk into the small room he had arranged, and personally arrange the guards, the eldest grandson Boyi immediately hurried back to the palace.
He came out this time just to settle Li Shao.
Back in the Xuanzheng Hall of the palace, one foot of the eldest grandson Boyi had just crossed the threshold when he heard Liu Ce's panicked voice.
"General Changsun, they said that Li Zheng fled, what should I do?"
With a frown, the eldest grandson Boyi raised his other foot and stepped over the threshold calmly.
"What's going on?" The eldest grandson Boyi asked Xie Jundao.
Xie Jun arched his hand at Sun Boyi, the eldest child, and said with a smile: "The fifty soldiers sent out to track down encountered an army of five hundred people when they chased them to Qinzhou, and only one who was ordered to come back to report survived. Judging from the information brought back by the soldier, Li Zheng planned to go to Lanzhou and prepare to join the Jingyue army. β
"Who is the commander of Jing Yuejun?" The eldest grandson, Boyi, swung his clothes and sat down in his seat.
Xie Jun replied: "It's Li Zheng's wife's uncle...... The third grandson of the Tai Lieutenant. β
"Captain? Captain Xin? Eldest Sun Boyi raised his eyebrows, "I remember that Taiwei Xin didn't like Li Zheng. β
Among Sejong's sons, Xin Taiwei's favorite is his proud protégé Li Shao, when Sejong established the prince, it was also Xin Taiwei who took the lead in mentioning yì Lixian and not Lichang, who called Li Zheng At that time, he had already shown signs of tyranny and unreasonableness. In that case, how could Taiwei Xin marry his granddaughter to Li Zheng, who he was most unoptimistic about?
Xie Jun didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Yuan Ze who was standing beside him.
Yuan Ze is a member of Shangshu Province who entered Shangshu Province four years ago, and he is the only eyeliner that Changsun Boyi and they risk sending into the court, not because they want him to pass on the news, nor do they want him to make contributions in the chaotic situation, Changsun Boyi and Jiejun just want him to master the situation in the court and Beijing, so as not to know nothing about the situation in Beijing after they enter Beijing.
Of course, Yuan Ze is also a person with some ability, and he has really passed on a lot of useful information to them over the years.
Yuan Ze sighed and said: "Not long after General Changsun's accident, Taiwei Xin resigned angrily and returned to the mountains and forests, without asking about the government. β
Eldest Sun Boyi lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment and said: "Don't ignore Li Zheng for the time being, just set up a few sentry posts between Lanzhou and Chang'an, pay close attention to the movements of the Jing Yue army, make defensive deployments, and wait for him to throw himself into the net." In addition, send someone to find Captain Xin......"
Yuan Ze frowned and said, "But if we don't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time, won't we lose the best opportunity to kill Li Zheng?" β
"I've missed it," Xie Jun shook his head helplessly, "We have missed the best opportunity to kill Li Zheng on the day of entering Beijing, and now that we have entered the capital, we have not yet controlled the overall situation in Beijing, and General Changsun can't leave." Moreover, our men and horses are already exhausted, and it is not suitable to go to the northwest to fight against the powerful Jing Yue army. That's all there is to it. β
After saying this, Xie Jun walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace, immediately instructed these two things, entrusted them all, and returned to the palace.
The eldest grandson Boyi narrowed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and asked Yuan Zedao, "How many people are available in the court?" β
They have no shortage of military generals, but they are in urgent need of civilian officials, and they can't support the entire court with just him and Xie Jun.
Yuan Ze thought about it carefully before replying: "Most of the people who have held important positions over the years are the Li clan's relatives, and the remaining very few are also fat by currying favor with the Li clan's relatives...... There is one person who is quite special. β
"Who?" The eldest grandson, Boyi and Xie Jun, looked at Yuan Ze at the same time.
"Shangshu Province Zuo Cheng, Yongning."
As soon as he heard this name, Eldest Sun Boyi immediately frowned, and Xie Jun also glanced at Eldest Sun Boyi with some taboo.
Noticing the difference in the expressions of the eldest grandson Boyi and Xie Jun, Yuan Zehu asked suspiciously, "Look at the looks of the general and the military advisor...... Do you know Yongning? β
Xie Jun touched his nose and said, "First of all, tell me what is special about this Yongning?" β
Know? Not only is it acquaintance, then Yongning was once the rival of the eldest grandson!
"Oh." Yuan Ze nodded and said, "My subordinates have heard from colleagues who have been officials for more than ten years that Yongning was originally the companion of the Third Highness, and has always been loyal to the Third Highness, but after the Third Highness disappeared, Yongning immediately entered the court as an official.
At first, he only got a seven-rank position, but within three years, he was promoted to the fourth-grade Shangshu Zuocheng, and he had a good relationship with the Li family.
But from the eyes of his subordinates, this Yongning seems to be close to the Li clan, but in fact it has some meaning of yang and yin, and in recent years, he has not only protected a lot of honest and loyal talents to help the world, but also often deceived the upper and lower places to change the holy oracle privately, and do some things that benefit the country and the people.
It's a pity that his subordinates don't have a deep relationship with Yongning, and they don't know much about this person, so they can't make a more correct judgment about this person. β
After Yuan Ze finished speaking, the eldest grandson Boyi didn't listen to much else, so he only remembered the sentence "After the disappearance of the Third Highness".
"You said the third prince of the Li clan is missing? What's going on here? β
Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson Boyi was most concerned about Li Shao's disappearance, Yuan Ze was surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Xie Jun, and nodded almost uncheckably, and then replied: "When the subordinates entered the court as officials, the third highness has been missing for several years, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to say much in order to avoid being persecuted by Li Zheng, and the subordinates were afraid of revealing flaws, and they did not dare to investigate deeply, and they only knew a rough idea, if the general wanted to know the details, why not invite Yongning?" β
The eldest grandson, Boyi, lowered his eyes and was silent.
Xie Jun looked at the expressionless eldest grandson Boyi, and sighed: "After all, I want to find Yongning to come here, if you don't want to see him, let me talk to him." β
"Looking for him?" Eldest Sun Boyi sneered, "If I look for him, he won't come, so I'll go to Yongfu in person." β
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Boyi, Xie Jun felt uneasy: "That...... Let Yu Shi accompany you. β
Let the eldest grandson and Yongning meet alone? He couldn't imagine it.
The eldest grandson Boyi raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Jun, then nodded, and after appeasing Liu Ce a few words, he took Yu Shi to Yongfu.
In Yongfu, Yongning, who didn't have to go to court or take care of the government, had nothing to do, so he played with his wife and daughter in the courtyard, smiling on his face, but thinking about Li Shao who was imprisoned in the Tiance General's Mansion.
Over the years, they have watched the eldest grandson Boyi fight all the way from south to north, and the news of the death of the Li clan came one after another, making him think that the eldest grandson Boyi was determined to kill all the people of the Li clan to avenge the blood feud, so he has always been worried that the determined eldest grandson Boyi will kill Li Shao without hesitation, although Li Shao feels that it doesn't matter, but as a friend of Li Shao, he doesn't want Li Shao to die so worthless, but he really didn't expect that the eldest grandson Boyi actually saved Li Shao's life.
If the eldest grandson Boyi couldn't bear to do it because he didn't have a good relationship, it would be fine, but if it was to torture Li Shao, then ......
Just thinking about it, the doorman of Yongfu ran to the door in a panic and reported that the eldest grandson Boyi had arrived at the door.
Yong Ning was shocked in his heart, thought about it, but didn't move his feet, as long as the doorman went to bring people in.
"Husband," Seeing that Yongning's face changed, Mrs. Yong took her daughter Yongwan and walked to Yongning, and said softly, "Since there is a guest coming, then I will take Wan'er back to the room." β
Yongning came back to her senses, turned her head to look at his wife and daughter, and said with a smile: "No need, we will probably go to the study, you and Wan'er will play here." β
"Okay," Mrs. Yong nodded, and asked with some concern, "will it be okay?" β
"Don't worry," Yong Ning smiled and took his wife's hand, "It's going to be fine." β
Everything is designed according to him and Li Shao's understanding of Changsun Boyi, and the things on his side are related to the world, even if it is Changsun Boyi, he doesn't dare to come nonsense, he just can't grasp Changsun Boyi's attitude towards Li Shao.
Yongning took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the entrance of the courtyard, when he saw the eldest grandson Boyi and Yu Shi following behind the subordinates of Yongfu, walking over like a fly.
Yong Ning gave his wife a look, and saw his wife and daughter go to the side of the courtyard, then he looked at Changsun Boyi and put on a smirk: "I was in a hurry to come to see me on the second day of entering Beijing. β
The eldest grandson Boyi ignored Yong Ning's ridicule, looked at the two women who were playing on the side with a cold face, one big and one small, and asked Yong Ning, "Who is that?" β
Yongning also turned his head to look at his wife and daughter, and said, "It's Neiko and Xiaonu." β
"You're married?" The eldest grandson Boyi turned his head to look at Yong Ning.
had long expected that the eldest grandson Boyi would ask like this, Yong Ning smiled and asked, "What?" Was it so surprising that I got married? β
"What about Li Shao?" The eldest grandson Boyi stared at Yong Ning with a dark face.
Yong Ning chuckled lightly and said, "What should Li Shao do?" What does that have to do with me? Didn't General Changsun hear about it from Yuan Ze? I broke off my friendship with Li Shao, I betrayed him, and then I got power and wealth. β
Yuan Ze was a person sent by the eldest grandson Boyi, and he had known this for a long time, so although Yuan Ze was very capable, he still did not promote Yuan Ze, and even deliberately avoided Yuan Ze.
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Boyi knew that Yong Ning had already seen Yuan Ze's identity, but he chose to ignore it for some reason.
Eldest Sun Boyi suddenly stepped forward, forced in front of Yong Ning and whispered, "I don't know what little trick you two played?" β
"Do you know everything in your heart?" Yongning chuckled.
The eldest grandson Boyi was stunned for a moment, the fierceness in his eyes retreated, and the person also retreated, and said in a deep voice: "I have something to look for you." β
Staring at the eldest grandson Boyi, Yong Ning turned around and walked towards the study: "The study is here." β
When did the eldest grandson Boyi learn to escape?
Entering Yongning's study, Yongning sent all his subordinates out, and the eldest grandson Boyi also left Yu Shi outside the door, after all, only the eldest grandson Boyi and Yongning sat opposite each other in the house.
Leisurely making a pot of tea, Yong Ning smiled: "Since we met, I have never sat down with the two of you to have a good cup of tea." β
"With you, the tea is getting unpalatable." The eldest grandson Boyi sat opposite Yongning and asked bluntly, "Yuan Ze said that Li Shao has been missing for many years, what is going on?" β
Yong Ning poured two cups of tea, pushed one of them in front of Changsun Boyi, and said with an indifferent smile: "It's strange, Li Shao himself is in your Tiance General's Mansion, why didn't you come to ask me?" β
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Boyi lowered his eyes, stared at the steaming tea in the teacup, and said in a low voice: "He won't tell me." β
"Then I won't sue you." Yong Ning smiled evilly, saw that the eldest Sun Boyi's eyes widened, and said with a smile, "You never believed me, so why did you come to ask me?" If you just want to ask about this today, then please come back, I have nothing to say. β
He can tell Changsun Boyi about the pain that Li Shao has suffered in the past ten years, but Changsun Boyi doesn't believe him, these words come out of his mouth, and then after Changsun Boyi's doubts and thoughts, they will inevitably be discounted, but if Changsun Boyi can't be told to understand all of Li Shao's pain, what is the use of saying it? And if he said too much, the eldest grandson Boyi would probably think that this was a trap set by him and Li Shao.
The eldest grandson Boyi was just an untempered teenager when he left Beijing, his family was destroyed overnight, and then he experienced ten years of hard fighting, and now the eldest grandson Boyi is like a frightened bird, and the Chang'an City that gave birth to him has also become a strange and dangerous place, and a little carelessness may make the hundreds of thousands of troops who loyally follow him die in Chang'an, he must be cautious, and the result of being too cautious is that everything looks like a conspiracy in the eyes of Changsun Boyi, and everyone looks like an enemy who wants to take his life, At this time, it is useless to talk too much with the eldest grandson Boyi.
was so angry by Yong Ning's attitude that he gritted his teeth, but the eldest grandson Boyi did not forget the other purpose of his trip, and could only ask Yong Ning hatefully: "I heard that you have become the Zuo Cheng of Shangshu Province of Li Zheng?" β
"Well, that's right," Yong Ning poured himself another cup of tea, "Li Zheng's court is full of useless people, if you hadn't come, I might have been promoted to Shang Shuling." β
Eldest Sun Boyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suddenly took two steps back, and then made a big salute, and said solemnly: "There are no ministers in the court, the world is undecided, and my current ability alone cannot support the overall situation, so please help me." β
Although he doesn't like Yongning, he has to recognize Yongning's strength, and since Yongning has become the Zuo Cheng of Shangshu Province, he must know the officials of the three provinces and six departments very well, and for the sake of the overall situation, the court needs Yongning.
Seeing this, Yong Ning was speechless and muttered in a low voice: "You are the most annoying at this point." β
"What?" The eldest grandson Boyi didn't hear clearly, raised his head and looked at Yong Ning suspiciously.
Yong Ning pouted unwillingly, and then said, "I can help you, but you have to promise me one condition." β
The eldest grandson, Boyi, got up and sat upright and looked at Yong Ning calmly.
On the way to Yongfu, he had already calculated, Yongning was a person who had been taught by Taifu and Taiwei with Li Shao, and he already had a heart of worrying about the country and the people, and he would not ignore the court and the world, but Yongning had always been at odds with him, even if he had decided to help him, he would definitely propose an exchange of conditions to make things difficult for him, not to mention that now that Li Shao is in his hands, how could Yongning miss this great opportunity to rescue Li Shao?
If Yongning's condition was really for him to release Li Shao, then he would probably agree. He didn't know why Li Shao had to meet him even though he knew that he would be in such a situation, but letting Yong Ning take Li Shao away might be the best ending between the two of them.
"You say." Taking a deep breath, Eldest Sun Boyi quietly waited for Yong Ning to speak.
Yong Ning has also been looking at Changsun Boyi's expression.
He, the eldest grandson Boyi and Li Shao knew each other too well.
Li Shao knew that even if he had a different position, even if he had old grudges, as long as he had the power in his hands, the eldest grandson Boyi would come to him for the sake of the overall situation, so he arranged the drama of breaking off friendship, arranged for him to enter the court, let him control the half of the court that was barely functioning normally, and paved a shortcut for the eldest grandson Boyi.
