Chapter 195: Salary Reduction to Go Home
Li Zhi's face is a little bad, let you discuss a punishment method, you don't have to be so casual, right? Is that place in Luling the place where my son should go? You don't have to punish so harshly, do you? Anyway, he's my son, too.
Besides, in this matter, I don't think he made any mistakes, people should be like this, the daughter-in-law was bullied and didn't make a move, is that still a man? You Confucianism, you can't continue to use it at this time, what benevolence, righteousness and morality, what courtesy and modesty, and continue to do so, that can only be described in two words: cowardice.
"Pei Aiqing, is Luling a little ......."
It's remote, it's really remote, what he wants to say is that Guan Li Zhou is confined and thinks about it, don't cause trouble for him, of course, it's okay to go to other places, but you can't let him go to Luling? Go to Yangzhou, how good Hangzhou is, the mountains and rivers are green, the sun is shining, there are many beautiful women, and it is good to experience the scenery for a few months.
Is it remote? That's good, if he leaves, there will be no one chirping here, causing trouble for him all day long, and he doesn't need to spend so much energy to deal with him, Pei Yan continued to resist the pressure and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Luling Mountain and Clear Water are beautiful, the wind and the sun are beautiful, it is a good place for vacation, presumably His Royal Highness King Zhou will not refuse." ”
I thought: It's not his turn to refuse, and those people in the court shouldn't want him to stay in Chang'an, right?
His eyes glanced in front of him, and those few bodies covered his gaze, causing Li Zhi to not see his expression, Li Zhi closed his eyes and pondered for a while, are you saying this to tell me that Luling is the most suitable for Li Zhou? The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the wind and the sun are beautiful, I think they are all mountains, right? However, he was angry in his heart, and he suppressed it, these ministers have been restless, and when they are rectified, they are full of strange tricks, and there are countless of them.
Moreover, going to Luling for a few months to experience, for Li Zhou, the benefits outweigh the harms, you can hone Li Zhou's sharp edges and corners, and you will be smooth and not extreme.
"Then I don't know if Aiqing has anything else to belong to?"
Li Zhi was somewhat reluctant to let him go, the experience returned to the experience, Hangzhou, Yangzhou is also fine, not necessarily Luling, the other adults lowered their heads, slept and slept, out of their minds, outside the world of fugue, they didn't seem to hear Li Zhi's question, Li Zhi still didn't understand, this group of ministers began to shirk again, and it was none of their business.
Snorted coldly in his heart, useless guy, I knew it would be like this, Li Zhi raised his hand with a sinister attitude: "In this case, everyone Aiqing discussed how long it is appropriate for Zhe'er to go to Luoyang?" ”
How long? This is a problem, ten days and half a month is too little, a year and a half seems to be less, three or five years is a bit more, completely beyond Your Majesty's expectations, although they want Li Zhou to stay for a few more years, reality does not allow it, they can't coerce Your Majesty, Your Majesty who has regressed will force it again, but something will happen.
The ministers who know how to be proportionate, silent, Pei Yan glanced at each other, come on, you are all like this, the things that offend people are pushed on me, everything is fine for me, a group of old slippery heads, Pei Yan continued to speak: "Back to Your Majesty, how about a year?" ”
Whispering tentatively, one year is his most conservative estimate, he can accept it, and His Majesty will not refuse the time, Li Zhi nodded after listening, one year is just right, no more, no less, raised his hand and said: "Then one year, don't travel every day." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Retreat."
Li Zhi returned to the inner hall with a faint anger, sat on the table sullenly, and said very unkindly: "Mei Niang, do you say that their group of pedantic old stubbornnesses can't go along with my wishes?" Every time they have to force me to punish Zhe'er, they are very proud, right? ”
Wu Meiniang didn't speak, although her eyes were smiling, but that smile looked a little infiltrating, her hands pinched Li Zhi's shoulders, and gently massaged, Li Zhi's angry expression relaxed a little, her tense body softened, and she said in a daze: "Mei Niang, do you say they hate it?" It's like this every time, do you have to die to be happy? ”
"Ahem."
As soon as he was excited, Li Zhi couldn't help coughing in his throat, his body trembled, and his face suddenly turned white, so frightened that Wu Meiniang hurriedly patted Li Zhi's back and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, pass on the imperial doctor." ”
The guard who smelled the voice hurriedly walked in and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, what do you command?" ”
"Hurry up and pass on the Imperial Doctor."
"Yes."
After a while, the soldier hurriedly came with the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor came to Li Zhi, carefully observed, prescribed a little medicine, and stuffed it into Li Zhi's mouth, the pill entrance, Li Zhi's face suddenly became happy, the cough eased, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity, Wu Meiniang said nervously: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
Li Zhi opened his lazy eyes, looked at the pear blossom rain face in front of him, nervous eyes, and his little hands full of worry, pinched him tightly, Li Zhi patted her little hands gently, and said weakly: "Mei Niang, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”
Li Zhi straightened up with difficulty, sat up, Wu Meiniang was by his side, Li Zhi waved his hand, signaling the imperial doctor to go down, the imperial doctor and the soldiers hurriedly retreated, Wu Meiniang raised her hand to stop them, but was pressed down by Li Zhi, how about her body, she understood, it was useless to be difficult for them.
"Mei Niang, don't hand over = call, let them go down, I just want to accompany you well."
An affectionate word, I couldn't stop Wu Meiniang's tears, ticking and falling, no matter how strong she was, in front of him, she was just a little girl, affectionately caressing Li Zhi's chest, half leaning on his thigh, her eyes were moving, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we go to Luoyang to rest?" ”
"Luoyang?"
Li Zhi groaned, thinking about this decision, looked at Wu Meiniang's eyes full of longing, couldn't bear to refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
"Your Majesty is the best for your concubines."
"Haha."

In another place in the palace, Shi Chongshan looked at the pigeon in his hand, tied a letter, let go of the pigeon, the pigeon fluttered a few times, flew into the air, flapped its wings a few times, and disappeared in front of Shi Chongshan's eyes, Shi Chongshan looked in that direction and thought: "I hope you can see something?" ”
"Hey."
Shi Chongshan sighed and stepped out of here, and in a mountain forest thousands of miles away, an old man climbed the mountain with a young man, holding a wooden stick in his hand, not panting, his face was not red, he walked up step by step, a figure fell far behind him, the young man gasped, and shouted loudly: "Master, wait for me." ”
The old man did not stop, he moved forward regularly, every step seemed to be calculated, after a while, he dragged his steps away, and the young man behind him saw this scene, and immediately accelerated his pace without resting, walking briskly, and quickly catching up, but the figure of the old man had already disappeared in front of him, and the young man was not discouraged, and rushed towards the mountain above.
After climbing a hillside, he saw a figure in front of him stop, and hurriedly strode to the old man's side, and wondered, "Master, why did you stop?" ”
He looked down, and a pigeon landed in the old man's hand, and a letter in the other hand was already rubbed together, and the young man leaned up and asked, "Master, who is the news?" ”
The old man ignored the young man, threw his hands away, and the dove flew up and swooped into the sky, and the young man stood beside the old man, his eyes staring at the hand, and his heart was full of doubts, who could have sent the message? The old man looked far ahead and said, "Disciple, let's go down the mountain." ”
"Eun."
"Huh, down the mountain? Master, are you telling the truth? Are we really going down the mountain? Not lying to me? ”
The young man couldn't help but be excited, and went down the mountain, he had been staying in this mountain for many years, and every day he either climbed the mountain or ate the northwest wind, saying that what was it to experience nature and hone his cultivation, he didn't want to stay in this place anymore, and he couldn't wait to go down the mountain immediately, but he didn't dare to go down the mountain without the master's order.
"Let's go."
The old man took a step first, striding like flying, not as good as a quarter of an hour, submerged into the mountain forest, the young man was excited to catch up, the pace was like walking, the grass flew on the water, a few meters away, an old and a young, rushing in the forest.

Jiang Mansion, salary reduction was taken aback when he heard the news, Li Zhou was about to leave Chang'an and be demoted to Luling?
"Is everything you say true? How could he? ”
The head was puzzled for a moment, and quickly figured out the reason, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So this is the horror of officialdom?" The rings are linked, the links are connected, and they cannot be dodged or lifted. ”
No wonder his father would rather go to the battlefield to kill the enemy than stay for a while, the feelings of those deceitful and dirty things in the officialdom are really not something he can deal with, even Li Zhou was recruited, he was assassinated three or four times, and he still had to be punished in the end, not to mention him.
"Shouldn't I also leave Chang'an, this place is really not for people."
I don't know why, such an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, lingering, inexhaustible, like a demon, entrenched in his mind, looking at his own mansion, since his father left, it has become a little deserted, looking at those white silks, the idea of returning home is even stronger.
"Father wants to go home too, right?"
"That's right, my father wants to go home, and I should go home too."
Fallen leaves return to the roots, wealth and nobility return to the hometown, and they are the former, not the latter, the fallen leaves always have to return to the roots, this is no longer suitable for him, with his father's false title, reduce wages I don't know where he can go in Chang'an, it is better to return to his hometown, live that is indisputable with the world, one acre and three points of land, take his mother to raise his days, have a few more children, reunite, and live happily.
This is his ideal, and it is also the decision he made for the sake of their Jiang family's incense.
"I'd better go home."
The salary cut became firm again, and looking at his father's coffin, he was even more determined in his thoughts.
