Early in the morning, Liu Youqiu came to the outside of the king's bedroom. He didn't stay too long at the banquet last night, and retired early to rest, so he was in good spirits at this time, and he didn't have the fatigue of a night of fun.

Although it was not early for Li Tong to rest last night, the biological clock he had developed was still difficult to change, so he also got up very early and practiced the drum as usual, and then Yang Siqiao stepped forward to tell him that Liu Changshi had already been waiting outside.

Throwing down the drumstick in his hand, Li Tong asked Liu Youqiu to invite him to have breakfast together, and said with a smile during the meal: "Recently, there have been a lot of miscellaneous affairs in the house, and Changshi is an old man who can enter the mansion, and you have to take care of everything carefully." ”

"I have been humbled for a long time, and I have already done my part, so I don't need the king's detailed instructions, so I naturally don't dare to relax."

Liu Youqiu replied, and then fell silent, with a hesitant look on his face, and after a while, he finally made up his mind and said: "Last night's banquet, the hall was full of guests, and the king's generous gifts and public gifts were indeed generous and praiseworthy, and it will be a hot discussion in the capital in the future." It's just that the people are treacherous and unpredictable, the king is indeed high-spirited, but after being humble but afraid of others' words, it is inevitable that he will be slandered and slandered. ”

From yesterday to now, or after returning to Shendu from Hedong Fengguo, Liu Youqiu's mood has been a little uncomfortable. It's just because the atmosphere inside and outside the palace is now very different from when he left the capital before.

Liu Youqiu left the Shendu at the end of July, and although the situation of the young king had also improved at that time, he was still out of the idle king's mansion, and there was not much noise about personnel.

But only two or three months later, when Liu Youqiu returned to the Divine Capital, the situation of the young king was very different. Its own position and prestige are rising, and the courtyard is also full of guests, and Xuanhe's posture is no longer the same as before.

Not to mention anything else, the number of officials in the palace alone has greatly expanded, the old people have left the mansion, and the newcomers have entered, and most of them Liu Youqiu don't know each other at all, which naturally makes Liu Youqiu feel very uncomfortable.

First of all, he naturally had some bad feelings in his heart, originally in the palace, he was valued by the young king and cited as a confidant, so he was entrusted with important matters of requisition, and also participated in many unspeakable things.

At that time, Liu Youqiu was among the members of the palace, and he could be said to have a special status and a rare choice of confidants. But now, there are a group of palace assistants, many of whom have a lot to boast about in terms of background, including talents, compared with these people, Liu Youqiu has nothing to boast about.

There are also those old people who originally entered the palace together, such as Zhang Jiazhen and others, have already been promoted, and officially serve as the officials of the imperial court, no longer succumbing to the palace, showing a promising future.

However, Liu Youqiu was busy with the state affairs entrusted by the king, so he completely missed this time. Although he may not be able to win even if he should be lifted, he didn't even have the opportunity to give it a try, and he was more or less disappointed in his heart.

Of course, what makes Liu Youqiu feel uncomfortable the most is not what his own situation is, but that the young king's current style of acting has changed greatly. With the rise of prestige, the young king is no longer as cautious and cautious as before, and he may still have some hope in the big festivals, but the small things seem to be gradually out of proportion.

This is what worries Liu Youqiu the most, the current situation in Shendu is treacherous, and although the general trend can be peeked at, the treacherous changes in this process are still unpredictable.

One of the most striking examples of this is that when the Jinwu guards surrounded the letter workshop, the sorrow was close to him, but the young king was able not to be fascinated by the affair and keep quiet, so as to avoid making mistakes. At that time, Liu Youqiu had to be the young king's heavy responsibility, and every guest who came to the door weighed it again and again before deciding whether to receive it, although the courtyard was deserted, but it made people feel down-to-earth.

But now there are hundreds of people gathering for a banquet in the house, and there is no longer the caution of careful selection before. And the young king himself is also talented, rewards and indiscriminate, to put it nicely, it is called Corporal Lixian, if you think about the sinister place, you have to make people sad and difficult to explain, I don't know where the trouble is.

Putting aside his own future thinking, Liu Youqiu was really worried about the young king, so these thoughts had been stored in his heart for a long time, but he was worried that the young king would mistake him for resentment, so he pretended to be alarmist.

The pearl and jade furnishings and emotions in the auditorium that I saw last night were surging, Liu Youqiu couldn't stand the atmosphere and left the table early, and then he was sleepless all night, and finally made up his mind in the morning, no matter what the young king thought of himself, as an old man in the house, he still had to express the advice he should do.

If the young king is really just stubborn and thinks that he is alienating him for his own future, but he can be regarded as fulfilling his responsibilities as a member of the government, and he has a clear conscience in this regard, at least he repays the appreciation of the young king for his time.

Not to mention how much Liu Youqiu weighed in his heart, Li Tong heard his words of advice, his mood was not lacking in joy, his eyebrows and eyes were also stretched, and he sat in the banquet and said with a smile: "What is precious in life? When you are hungry, you have two urns of sour sauce, and when you are cold, you have a collar of linen, which is not a treasure, but just a matter of time. The difference between humans and beasts lies in the fact that they know each other. Long history and I, stay together, go hand in hand when we are in trouble, and we are willing to give dangerous words when we are favored, so how can I not forget! ”

Hearing what the young king said, the corners of Liu Youqiu's lips moved, and he turned over and knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "How dare you dare to promise your own affection!" In the old days, I was trapped in the Jin, and I couldn't eat two meals day and night, and I didn't know where to eat tomorrow when I was sloppy and hungry. The king does not abandon it with despicability, he only donates this body, he is weak and strong, he plans for the king in vain, he is good at alarmist police, he does not dare to boast of being thorough, he only hopes to be able to serve the king for a long time......"

"The long history of the mind, there is no need to elaborate, here is the heart."

Li Tong got up from the seat and helped Liu Youqiu up, and sent him back to the table with his arm, and then sighed: "If wealth is not dedicated to me, it is just floating clouds, and the sunset in the west is full of weather, and the beauty is only for a moment." Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who do not know me say what I want, although the glory is in vain, those who can give a long history, only this one word. Full of guests, fascinated by glitz. There are only a few people who can conspire with each other. ”

Recently, there have been a lot of internal and external affairs, and Li Tong has not had the opportunity to have an in-depth discussion with Liu Youqiu. Now Liu Youqiu took the initiative to find him, and there was no lack of persuasion for him, which also made Li Tong feel nostalgic in his heart.

Originally, he planned to discuss the follow-up plan with Liu You in detail after the Dragon Gate ceremony, but now is also a suitable opportunity.

After comforting Liu Youqiu for a few words, Li Tong raised his hand to summon Yang Siqiao and whispered a few words. Yang Siqiao hurriedly walked out, and then returned, holding a brocade box in his hand and placing it on the king's case.

Li Tong opened the brocade box, took out a letter from it, and then smiled at Liu Youqiu: "Now the old people in the palace, Tai has to do something outside. Changshi is my confidant, so naturally I will not ignore it. But I don't have an ordinary relationship with Changshi, and it's a little difficult for a strong person to think about things......"

As he spoke, he handed the letter to Liu Youqiu.

Liu Youqiu unfolded it and saw that it was a letter of recommendation, recommending him to the Ministry of Heavenly Officials to serve as Qianlingcheng. After reading the content of the recommendation, Liu Youqiu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he seemed to have an understanding, raised his eyes and looked at the young king and said in a condensed voice: "The king is ...... this."

"The gods are prosperous, and they can't be in love for a long time. When the first king returned to his homeland, how could he be in the desert for a long time. The deeds of the children are not to be boasted of, the only point of filial piety is deep, the old year is forbidden, it is expedient to serve more, filial piety is lost, and it is unbearable to miss. Now that it has been relocated and enjoyed, it is comparable to a new burial, how dare you stay out of the matter. ”

When Li Tong said this, his expression was also heavy, and he looked at Liu Youqiu and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Divine Emperor has entered the book a few days ago, please change your body and lead all things, go to Xijing to settle down and stay in the house, and you are willing to accompany you for a long time?" ”

When Liu Youqiu heard this, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and he was speechless for a moment, and then he said loudly with his hands in the book: "The king abides by the great righteousness, and if he is greedy for a moment and does not obey, how can he have the face to stand in the world again!" I am willing to follow the king and keep filial piety together! ”

Hearing Liu Youqiu say this, Li Tong was even more happy: "I want to thank Changshi, I can get Liangzuo like this, what trouble will life be!" ”

Regarding Liu Youqiu's statement, Li Tong was really pleased. Qianling is the mausoleum of Gaozong, and the mausoleum is the seventh grade, but in fact, the mausoleum official is the most undesirable official position in the officialdom. Liu Youqiu chose to serve as a mausoleum official and followed him to Xijing to serve the mourning residence, which can be said to have put his future on himself.

Li Tong seems to be infinitely beautiful at the moment, but he also knows the danger in it. At present, he is relying on the dedication of Ruijing to make a stand, cheering for his grandmother on behalf of Tang Luji, and can ensure temporary stability.

But to be honest, this is an evil path in the first place. No matter how he expresses his position, he will not change his position as a Li bloodline. At the moment, the most important thing for his grandmother is to change the dynasty, and his statement is naturally valuable.

But once the revolution is completed, the next political logic will be different, what his grandmother needs is complete control from name to reality, this is the most important political struggle in the early Wu Zhou period.

Once it evolves to this point, Li Tong's importance will be greatly reduced, and the protective umbrella on his body will also be weakened. Although the focus of the struggle was on his uncles Li Dan and Wu Chengsi, there are not too many examples of political struggles affecting Chiyu.

All parties are doing their best, and even the prime minister is in danger and going to die in batches. Li Tong has such an embarrassing identity, if he still stays in such a conspicuous position and wants to stay out of the matter completely, it is almost a dream.

So although it is a beautiful scenery right now, how to retreat is also a key point related to his future and fate.

It must be known that in the original history, his eldest brother Li Guangshun was sucked to death during this period! At that time, their family was just dispensable marginalized people, and even so, they still did not escape the cruel crushing of political struggle.

Therefore, Li Tong did not intend to participate in this muddy water from the beginning, and it was the safest way to get out of the way. It just so happened that his grandmother decided to move his deceased father Li Xian back to Qianling a few days ago, which gave him an excellent excuse to withdraw from the current situation.

Fuwu or Fuli, you fight for yours, Lao Tzu retreats to Xijing for obscene development, isn't it fragrant? That's really crazy to stay in the gods and toss with you!
