Chapter 126: Old Friends Reunited

After the accident, Gu Qing didn't think about disturbing others. However, the two elders of the old man still took the initiative to help, and even took advantage of their faces and favors.

In the evening, the streets of Chang'an are still full of traffic, Chang'an in the early days of the Tang Dynasty is the implementation of curfew, to the evening in the city of one hundred and eight square doors will be closed, mainly at that time the Li family just sat on the throne, the country is not stable, eager to try to rebel and palace change too many people, to the later period of Gaozong, the community gradually stabilized, Chang'an slowly canceled the curfew.

After the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Chang'an has become the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty, every night, the Zhangtai Liuguan in Chang'an City, the canteens and wine shops in the streets and alleys have become a place for people to linger, the Kabuki of the powerful people come out with the sound of silk and bamboo, and in an unknown corner, the drunken poet roars hoarsely at his new poems and listens to some clumsy poems.

This megacity with a population of more than one million is alive and well at any given time.

The general of the left guard is Guo Ziyi, and he lives in Qinrenfang.

Interestingly, Guo Ziyi and An Lushan are neighbors, and their mansions were both rewarded by Li Longji, so they conveniently rewarded the two of them in one place, separated by two houses and a wall. Today's An Lushan is leading the troops in Pinglu to practice, and at the end of every year, An Lushan enters Chang'an to congratulate the Son of Heaven, and there are not many opportunities for the two neighbors to meet.

When night was about to fall, a simple carriage stopped in front of Guo Ziyi's mansion, Li Twelve Niang stepped out of the carriage, the maid wanted to step forward to pick her up, but she gently pushed her away, and then Li Twelve Niang's eyes glanced at the door of An Lushan's mansion next to her, and her eyes showed a deep hatred.

The old housekeeper of Guofu has been waiting at the door for a long time, Li Twelve Niang is a popular figure in Chang'an, whether it is a powerful person or a hero, they all admire her, even though she is nearly thirty years old, she is still a superstar with many fans in Chang'an City.

Seeing Li Twelve Niang get out of the carriage, the old housekeeper of Guo Mansion greeted her and invited her into the door with a smile.

"The general has been waiting for a long time, and Mrs. Li is willing to go to the door of Guo's mansion, and Guo's mansion is shining." The old butler smiled with a wrinkled face.

Li Twelve Niang nodded lightly, she was always so indifferent in front of outsiders. After truly understanding her personality, you will be overwhelmed by her character and superb sword dancing skills.

The housekeeper's steps were deliberately faster, and in order to keep up with Li Twelve Niang's pace, he said as he walked: "There is also a guest in the front hall of the general, and he is also an old man who has admired Li Niangzi for many years......"

Li Twelve Niang's footsteps slowed down: "Who is it?" ”

Before the housekeeper could answer, the group had already come to the front hall of Guo's mansion, and Li Twelve Niang also saw the guest sitting in the front hall.

The guests couldn't help but be stunned when they saw her, and then laughed, Li Twelve Niang's face was covered with a white veil, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but her eyebrows and eyes were quietly bent.

In addition to entering the hall, Li Twelve Niang first saluted an old man in his fifties on the main seat: "Twelve Niang pay a visit to General Guo. ”

Guo Ziyi is already in the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but his spirit is still strong, his hair and beard have been a little gray, but his physique is strong, and the daily food is like a cow.

Seeing Li Twelve Niang saluting, Guo Ziyi laughed and said: "No courtesy, no courtesy, I'm afraid the old man and Li Niangzi haven't seen each other for more than five years, right?" The last time I saw you was on the Qianqiu Festival five years ago, when the monarch and the ministers congratulated you, the Son of Heaven summoned you to the palace sword dance, and the heroic old man of Li Niangzi's sword dance was unforgettable. ”

Li Twelve Niang smiled, and then saluted Guo Ziyi's guests: "Twelve Niang to meet Zhang Siqing." ”

Zhang Jiuzhang also smiled: "Mrs. Li's demeanor is still the same, and the old man hasn't seen her for many years." ”

Li Twelve Niang suddenly said sadly: "The old man has passed away, and my heart has nothing to rely on." Goodbye to the friends of the year, with a lot of feelings, as if not seen. ”

Zhang Jiuzhang knew what she was talking about, so he sighed gloomily and was silent.

Guo Ziyi's eyes flashed, stroked his well-groomed gray beard, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence today, Zhang Siqing and Li Niangzi came to visit the old man on the same day, could it be that you are for the same thing?" ”

Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Twelve Niang's eyes quickly made contact, and the moment their eyes met, they both understood each other's intentions, and then a smile appeared in their eyes at the same time.

In the end, the two saluted Guo Ziyi at the same time, and Zhang Jiuzhang said: "Li Niangzi and I are both here for the sons of the deceased, and we ask for a military order from General Guo." ”

Guo Ziyi's eyebrows did not move, stroked his gray beard and said slowly: "If you are here to join the army for a record named Gu Qing in my Zuowei Mansion, it is a coincidence, this afternoon, Zuowei Zuolang General Li Guangbi also asked the old man for a military order, and also said that it was for the son of the deceased, the child named Gu Qing beat someone in the Zuowei Mansion and went to prison, Li Guangbi begged the old man to be impartial, don't be killed in prison, you are also for him, right?" ”

Zhang Jiuzhang and Li Shiniang were stunned, glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed.

Zhang Jiuzhang smiled and sighed: "That kid made a disaster, but he gathered all of us back then, could it be the will of heaven?" ”

Li Twelve Niang's smile was not obvious, but it could be seen from her eyebrows that she was smiling, and after laughing, she suddenly sighed gloomily: "Chang'an City was more beautiful than it is now, I still remember that year when their husband and wife danced with me under the weeping willows by the Weishui, Li Guangbi lay on the ground and poured wine, Zhang Siqing, you are drunk, barefoot on the ground and still muttering poetry, the willows under the sun are flying, people and scenery, beautiful like a painting......"

Zhang Jiuzhang said sadly: "The old man is not there, the beautiful scenery is difficult to recover, and the deceased is like ......"

Everyone was silent for a long time, and Guo Ziyi said slowly: "If the two of you are for the sake of that child named Gu Qing, the old man has issued a military order today, and no one is allowed to harm him in prison." However, the military law is ruthless, Gu Qing beat people first, and he still has to deal with it according to the military law, and he will probably have to squat in prison for a few days, the two have been friends with the old man for many years, but the old man never talks about personal feelings in the army, and it is impossible to order him to be released, sorry. ”

Li Twelve Niang said happily: "General Guo's words are enough, that child will naturally be punished if he makes a mistake, and Twelve Niang dare not ask the old general for favoritism." ”

…………

Gu Qing was imprisoned for three days.

Xingqing Palace, Calyx Building.

Gao Lishi leaned into Li Longji's ear and was whispering something.

"Your Majesty ordered to check the details of Gu Qing, who joined the army in the Zuowei Prince's Mansion last time, the old slave has sent someone to Shuzhou, and the person is still on the way, but there is something Your Majesty probably doesn't know yet......"

"What?" Li Longji asked with little interest.

"This Gu Qing got into trouble as soon as he joined the Zuowei Prince's Mansion, and now he has been locked up in Zuowei Prison for three days."

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Gao Lishi in astonishment.

Colliers hung his head.

"What did he do?"

"Back to Your Majesty, on the first day of Gu Qing's entry into the office, he played a division named Lu Chengping, Lu Chengping is the eldest son of Lu Xuan, the palace attendant."

Li Longji frowned: "He beat people on the first day of employment, this Gu Qing has a big temper, it seems that people who are not on the right path through the scientific examination and become officials are really a bit vulgar." ”

Colliers would never object to any of Li Longji's words, so he echoed with a smile.

After a while, Li Longji asked again, "Why did Gu Qing beat people?" ”

"Because Gu Qing is a fellow villager of Concubine Taizhen, Concubine Taizhen is very happy, so the old slave specially inquired, it can't be all blamed on Gu Qing, it is Lu Chengping's bad words that hurt people first, Gu Qing's temper is as His Majesty said, it is indeed not very good, and Lu Chengping was knocked out with three punches......"

Li Longji smiled: "The fist is as hard as his temper." ”

Gao Lishi echoed Li Longji and smiled.

"This kind of trivial matter is not bothering, if you beat someone, you will naturally be punished, Guo Ziyi, the general of the Left Guard, governs the army very strictly, and it will be dealt with according to military law. Li Longji said lightly.

Colliers didn't dare to say anything, but he should go.

Li Longji suddenly remembered something, his eyes flickered quickly, and he asked again: "If this matter is right or wrong, it should be Lu Chengping's evil words that hurt people first, Gu Qing will be imprisoned and subject to military law if he makes a move, but what about Lu Chengping?" Hurting people is a mistake, right? ”

Gao Lishi was stunned, hung his head and said: "Lu Chengping has not been subject to military law. ”

Li Longji's face suddenly turned cold.

Gao Lishi saw Li Longji's gloomy face, and he was immediately silent.

"Lu Xuan, the father of Lu Chengping, I heard that Li Xiang wants to promote him to the middle of the imperial history?"

"Yes, the courtiers of the three provinces have had a court discussion, but because there is no conclusion, they have not reported it to Your Majesty."

Li Longji said expressionlessly: "In the eighth year of Tianbao, Lu Xuan made a trick of hiding the book in his sleeve during the court meeting in the main hall of Xingqing, and knocked down Yang Shenjin, I thought he was a person who knew how to advance and retreat. ”

Gao Lishi was a little stunned, he didn't know why Li Longji suddenly mentioned the old case of Tianbao in the eighth year of his head and brain, the sacred heart was unpredictable, and Li Longji's thoughts were difficult to figure out even if he had followed them for many years, so he had to keep silent.

After Li Longji finished saying this, he didn't continue, waved his hand, and said: "Pass the Taizhen Concubine over, and then pass the Daming Palace Liyuan Legong, and I will enjoy the "Ni Dress and Feather Coat" with her." ”

This is a eunuch outside the hall and said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Wei Zuo Lang will ask Li Guangbi to see." ”

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "It's Zuowei's person again, haha, I'm really a little curious, Xuanjian." ”

Li Guangbi entered the palace with a jar of wine in both hands, and when he was outside the palace gate, the eunuch tried the poison before allowing Li Guangbi to bring the wine into the palace.

After entering the palace, Li Guangbi first handed over the wine jar to the eunuch on the side, and then bowed down.

Li Longji's eyes first noticed the wine in the eunuch's hand, and said with a smile: "I have never seen Li Lang be so polite, and he even personally brought wine into the palace, could it be that Li Lang will feel that the wine in the palace is not mellow enough?" ”

Li Guangbi said in a panic: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, this wine was presented to Your Majesty by Gu Qingtuochen, who was a member of the Zuowei Prince's Mansion and joined the army, when he entered the palace. ”

Li Longji's eyes flickered: "It's Gu Qing again, why can I always hear his name recently?" ”
