Chapter 21: All Living Beings Are Pawns
Feelings are really mysteriously tight, they can't be seen or touched, but they can tie people together. Just like now, Princess Ruxuan saw Liu Zuochen's thumbs up, pursed her lips and smiled and gently raised her chin.
Seeing their intimate actions, they lowered their heads or turned their faces to the side in a panic.
The emperor was originally worried that Liu Zuochen would cause trouble, but he didn't think that his baby princess would throw a teacup of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and flee in embarrassment, and Liu Zuochen was also unexpected.
Wu Jiang saw that the opportunity was rare, and quietly withdrew from the house, and the general made a look before going out, and the tacit understanding for many years was clear in his heart, it must be that the general had something to ask or something to arrange.
In the bathhouse in the depths of the post station, Wu Jiang told everything he knew about the recent connection with Liu Zuochen and Princess Ruxuan, including Liu Zuochen riding a horse and holding Princess Ruxuan from the imperial city to the shop, while carefully observing Liu Shangwu's expression, which seemed very respectful.
"She's not bad!"
Liu Shangwu, who was soaking in the bathtub, said, his shoulders and face were a little red when he was exposed to the water, maybe it was caused by the water temperature, or maybe he was a little happy that this daughter-in-law was quite satisfied.
Wu Jiang, who was smiling, nodded and didn't say anything. From Liu Shangwu's words, he had faintly heard the meaning of appreciation, Wu Jiang didn't think that it was inappropriate for the general to call Princess Ruxuan "her", she was about to be the daughter-in-law of the old Liu family, and she was not called like this in front of outsiders, so it was understandable that she was more qualified to say so.
Wu Jiang didn't think he was an outsider, and Liu Shangwu didn't regard him as an outsider. Even if she wants to be regarded as an outsider, it must be Princess Ruxuan, not because she is a princess, but because she is indeed Li Ziqin's nephew, a nephew who makes Liu Shangwu have more than a headache.
"Li Qiang, what do you think?"
Faced with Liu Shangwu's questioning, Wu Jiang understood what he meant after thinking slightly, obviously asking Liu Zuochen what he thought if he wanted to break Li Gongzhi's leg. "It's been two years since the incident, and Zhang Kang doesn't want his son to make things out of control, after all, ...... Li Ziqin is now in the prime of his official fortunes. ”
"Really!? Zhang Kang thought the same way at the beginning? I don't think so! ”
The awe-inspiring gaze that suddenly shot out of Liu Shangwu's eyes made Wu Jiang's heart tremble, and he suddenly remembered that Liu Zuochen also looked like this after hearing his negative opinion. I couldn't help but bow my head slightly, and secretly wondered in my heart, is it really wrong?
"Uhh......h I've helped me get my clothes, and I'm probably impatient to wait. ”
For the once familiar pro-soldiers, Liu Shangwu knows that there is no need for too many verbal reproaches or points, if it is wrong, it is wrong as long as it can be thought through, he once said to every carefully selected pro-soldier, a man may not have to stand up to the sky, but must stand between heaven and earth with backbone!
I have to say that Liu Shangwu is in a good mood today, and he was a little blocked by Xu Zaibo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was a little blocked in his heart when he heard Wu Jiang say that he was thrown by Princess Ruxuan's teacup, and his heart was relieved. At this time, seeing that Princess Ruxuan had waited for such a long time and had not eaten, there was no anger on her face, and Liu Shangwu was even more faintly complacent in her heart.
Serve the food and drinks, and have fun!
Contrary to the situation in the post station, Xu Zaibo, who returned to Kyoto City non-stop, was extremely depressed, and personally ran to the emperor to report that Liu Shangwu had returned to Kyoto, but he did not get a word of comfort from the emperor.
Slipping out of the imperial study, the more Xu Zaibo thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, and ordered the coachman with a black face, "Go to Li Shangshu's Mansion!" ”
The coachman, who had been running around hungry for more than two hours, secretly slandered himself, "They all say that you are not right-minded, it seems to be true!" It's time to see this, you don't rest, Li Shangshu is waiting in the house to harass? Give you a closed door to taste, that's interesting! ”
was really guessed by the coachman, and the steward of the Li Mansion came out of the mansion after a while, saying that Master Shangshu had rested.
"Fuck your stinking fart!" Xu Zaibo roared angrily, and suddenly sounded at the gate in the dead of night, coupled with his hideous face due to anger, which made the steward of the Li Mansion shudder, "Tell Li Ziqin, just say that it is a very important and very important matter!" ”
The steward had to bite the bullet and report again......
"What is so panicked, and the official who has to disturb him is not at peace?"
Hearing footsteps and entering the study, Li Ziqin didn't reply. In the past few years, I don't know if I have done too many evil things or I have been sleeping too little, and I haven't slept well. Naturally, he lost his good face, and his voice was cold like the cold wind outside the house.
"Think you'd like to see your elongated donkey face? Hum! ......" Xu Zaibo was already holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent, and he didn't have a good tone at this time.
After years of conspiring together, Xu Zaibo is so familiar with Li Ziqin that he can't be more familiar, and the politeness between his words has long been gone.
Biting the back socket of his teeth angrily, Li Ziqin's hand holding the tongs trembled, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the stove slowly burn, he felt that the feeling of playing with fire was very wonderful, and a pair of tongs in his hand could stir up the fire. But he was very disgusted with Xu Zaibo now, this guy was getting more and more out of his control, so that he faintly had the urge to stuff Xu Zaibo into the furnace in his heart.
"Liu Shangwu returned to Kyoto to resume his life, and he has arrived at Kyoto Station." Xu Zaibo looked at Li Ziqin's back and said.
"What's the surprise that I go back to Kyoto at this time of year?"
"There really shouldn't be any accidents, this year is different ......, such as Princess Xuan and Liu Zuochen appeared at the post station to greet Liu Shangwu's ......"
"Nonsense!"
Xu Zaibo didn't know who Li Ziqin was referring to, it was possible that his nephew was too affectionate to the Liu family's father and son, or it was possible that such behavior was contrary to etiquette, and it was more likely that the emperor was so indulgent to Her Royal Highness the princess.
can't tell the difference, so it's naturally inconvenient to make a statement in a hurry, not to mention that he Xu Zaibo also wants to hear Li Ziqin's opinion, and what can be seen with the vicious eyes of this old fox.
For a long time, Li Ziqin did not move except for throwing the tongs on the stove when he shouted "nonsense", stirring up a spark.
Xu Zaibo felt that Li Ziqin in front of him was either asleep or angry! Otherwise, why hasn't there been any movement for so long?
It's quiet in the study, and you can smell the needles dropping! Xu Zaibo felt that his heavy wheezing sound was as loud as the cold wind outside the house, and when he was about to speak a little impatiently, Li Ziqin spoke.
"Forget it! There's no need for dogs to meddle with rats. …… Go home and sleep! The official is also a little tired. ”
After waiting for a long time, waiting for a sentence "The dog is nosy with the mouse!" This, really made Xu Zaibo angry! If you don't say what you think in your heart, how can you compare a person to a dog without making him resentful in his heart? This official is a dog, and you are an old dog! Xu Zaibo, who was secretly slandering, thought like this in his heart, but he still didn't dare to blurt it out.
Xu Zaibo, who left the house angrily, felt extremely aggrieved, since the post station came to tell Princess Ruxuan that she was coming, he had never gotten a good breath, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, has the good luck of the past few years come to an end? I even faintly feel in my heart that as long as something sticks to Liu Zuochen's kid, any good thing will change! Right! Liu Zuochen is a disaster star, and he is a disgusting evil star!
Thinking like this, Xu Zaibo felt a lot more comfortable when he touched his chest. Who knows, not long after he left Li Ziqin's study, Li Ziqin, who was furious, kicked the stove to the ground, if it wasn't for the steward who heard the movement and noticed that something was wrong, he really couldn't tell if it caused a fire.
I can't help but be angry, and Liu Shangwu is already an unsolvable knot, and the pain of losing a child in old age makes him worry like he can't let go.
At this time, his nephew Li Ziqin actually had a hot fight with the enemy, which made him feel that he had been plucked by life. The reason why Xu Zaibo didn't turn his face to look at him when he left the study, first, he was disgusted with him, mainly because he knew that his hideous face was seen because of anger, wouldn't it make people see a joke?
Li Ziqin hates! Hating as the daughter of the concubine is indifferent to this.
Li Ziqin hates it even more! hated the emperor for messing with mandarin duck scores, making the old Li family a laughing stock of the world.
Sleepless nights! This is already doomed for Li Ziqin and Xu Zaibo.
But there is opposition in everything, Liu Shangwu is still happy in his heart, and the emperor is indeed happy and can't sleep at night.
The world says that the daughter is Lao Tzu's personal little padded jacket, which is indeed true! The emperor reclined on the dragon couch and thought of this, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and smile happily. Just like what he had planned, his empathetic daughter was very understanding of his thoughts.
Li Ziqin is also the pro-son of the concubine Niangniang, not to mention how much he has made to the court over the years, at least he gave birth to a concubine Niangniang who is loved by the emperor, and there is also a border general Li Hai who is still in control. For these reasons, the emperor did not want the contradictions between the Liu and Li families to intensify.
And his baby daughter Princess Ruxuan is a lever to balance the feud between the two families, the emperor thinks that no matter how precious his daughter is, he is also going to get married, although Liu Zuochen's kid is a habitual offender who causes trouble, but in the eyes of the emperor, he is just a naughty monkey, he has no scruples about fashion and can't turn over the palm of his hand, and he can add a Five Elements Mountain on his back, and he can turn the sky over!?
As for Liu Shangwu, the emperor is indeed very appreciative! Whether it is martial arts, strategy or domination, they are all rare talents. Over the years, the behavior of being close to Prince Qing has fallen in his eyes, often making the emperor feel worried, although now the country and the people are safe, for the long-term peace and stability of Da Antai, he cannot be allowed to have the slightest slack, and the ill-intentioned people are ready to move, not unaware.
Therefore, it is imperative to make up your mind to hold Liu Shangwu firmly in the palm of your hand.
The emperor thought in his heart, Da Antai is a chessboard, and all living beings are chess pieces! And the person who controls the chess pieces is himself. The emperor, who was thinking like this, looked at the raised hands with solemn gaze on his face.
