Chapter Forty-Eight: Your Majesty Wants to See Me
The morning sun shone on the earth, but it was still dark inside the prison in Anbian City, and only a small beam of sunlight entered the prison through the gap in the window, allowing the prison to have a glimmer of light.
"Li Shaolang, the marshal wants to see you."
The jailer opened the barred door of the cell and shouted.
Li Ang didn't sleep until the middle of the night, and at this moment he was sleepy-eyed, and he was very unhappy when he heard the words: "Don't bother me, I'll go when I've slept enough." ”
"You ......"
The jailer's eyes widened, if it was an ordinary prisoner, he would have punched and kicked him a long time ago, but Li An was very famous in Anbian City, and his relationship with Wang Zhongji was also very unusual, so he could only endure it.
"Big brother, Wang Jieshuai wants to see you, but he really doesn't go."
"No, no."
Ang Lee was sleepy, and his tone was very resolute.
The jailer had no choice but to go and report to Wang Zhonghei.
"What, come see me again when you've slept enough, bastard."
After listening to the report of the jailer, Wang Zhongji was very angry, he was the temperance envoy of the powerful side, and Li An actually put up a stand in front of him, which had to make him angry.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiqiu, who was beside him, hurriedly said: "Jie Shuai, the last general will personally go to the prison to invite him." ”
Wang Zhongsi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, let's let him sleep enough!" It was as if I was begging to see him. After speaking, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Li Anneng didn't shout or make trouble, and slept quietly in the prison, which shows that this kid has a personality and is a good material.
At noon, Li An, who had slept enough, stretched his waist, moved his muscles and bones in the cell, and then went to meet Wang Zhonghe.
After staying in the cell for many days, Li An abruptly left the cell, very uncomfortable with the light outside, and walked all the way with squinted eyes.
"Stinky boy, have you slept enough?"
Wang Zhongsi asked angrily.
Li An was neither humble nor arrogant, and arched his hand: "Back to uncle, the little nephew has slept enough." ”
"Do you know why you were put in a cell?"
"The little nephew let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army, and also pretended to pass on your order, not allowing General Li to lead his troops to pursue, which made my uncle unhappy."
Wang Zhongsi frowned: "Mess with me?" Did you know that you deliberately let go of the enemy and falsely passed on military orders, each of which is a capital offense? ”
"Uncle, this little nephew really doesn't know, my father only taught me to practice, never taught me military regulations."
Li An defended himself with a dead face, and his expression was extremely calm.
Wang Zhongsi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, the matter is over, you are not a real Tang soldier, and it is understandable that you don't understand military regulations, I will suppress this matter, just like you have never been to Zhuolu Valley." ”
"Uncle Xie, what about the credit? The little nephew broke 300 and broke 5,000, and killed Li Tianlong, the general of the Tibetan army, is there a reward? ”
Wang Zhonghei's eyes glared: "I spared your life, and you dare to ask me for a reward, you are thick-skinned enough, and you don't have a penny." ”
Li An grinned, he was just joking just now, in fact, whether there is a reward or not is not too important to him, as long as Wang Zhongsi knows that he has talent, it is enough to mix with him in the future, are you afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious contributions?
Wang Zhongsi smiled slightly and looked at Li An: "It's okay, you are a piece of jade, I had the intention to take you with me and carve it carefully, but now I can't." ”
Li An was shocked when he heard this, if Wang Zhonghei didn't take him to mix, who should he go to?
"Uncle, why is this, it was my nephew who let go of the remnants of the Tibetan army, which made you unhappy?"
Wang Zhongsi waved his hand and sighed: "It's okay, there are some things I have to tell you, and you should know too." ”
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
Wang Zhongsi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, do you know how important the crown prince is to the Tang Dynasty?" ”
"Of course it is important, after His Majesty the Emperor returns to heaven, the crown prince will inherit the throne and control the whole world."
Wang Zhongsi nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, then if the prince's position is always unstable, what will be the consequences?" ”
'The crown prince's position is not secure. ’
Li An frowned and thought about it, feeling that Wang Zhongsi was going around in circles, he still knew a lot about the history of this era, the prince's status at this time was indeed unstable, and Wang Zhongsi and the prince had been very friendly since childhood, and he was a general who supported the prince.
"The prince is the prince of the country, if the prince's foundation is unstable, once the emperor returns to heaven, the prince will not be able to control the world after ascending the throne, which may cause ****."
Li An tried his best to follow Wang Zhonghe's words.
When Wang Zhongsi heard this, he was greatly satisfied, nodded and said: "No harm, what you said is so right, the prince is the prince of the country and the hope of the future of the Tang Empire. ”
"Uncle, what exactly are you going to say?"
Wang Zhongsi emotionally took Li An's hand, explained the situation in the current court, and told Li An the fact that Li Wu was a princeling, and asked Li An to inherit his father's ambition and help the prince stabilize his position.
Ang Lee finally understood that his father was a prince's party, and his father's disappearance was likely to be related to his identity.
"Uncle, this is a party for personal gain, if His Majesty knows about it, the consequences will be very serious."
Wang Zhongsi frowned, "It's okay, for the long-term stability of the Tang Empire, what we do is worth it, how can we care about this." ”
"But the situation in the imperial court is so complicated, I'm a small person, I'm afraid that I won't be able to help the prince, so it's better to stay with my uncle and learn more."
Li An really didn't want to mix with the prince, in his impression, the prince was really not very good, compared to Wang Zhonghei, it was too bad.
"It's okay, it's not that my uncle doesn't want to accept you, it's that you are too showy in Anbian City, Zhang Qiqiu's battle report has already been sent to the capital, and Your Majesty wants to see you by name after reading the battle report."
His Majesty the Emperor actually wanted to see him, Li An was surprised, he felt that happiness came a little too suddenly, if Emperor Li Longji could take a fancy to him, it would be very good, but Wang Zhongji wanted to help the prince himself, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Li An knew that the current emperor Li Longji was not very at ease with the crown prince, and if he mixed with the prince all day long, it would make Li Longji unhappy, so where would there be any future.
However, since his father is a princeling, he, as a son, can only inherit the will and help the prince secretly, which should not attract the attention of others, and more than ten years later, if there is no accident, the prince will still ascend the throne, and then he will continue to be rich.
As soon as he thought of meeting the current emperor, Li An's heart was excited, and he showed a lot in Anbian City, originally for Wang Zhonghe, but he didn't expect to unintentionally insert willows and actually enter Li Longji's eyes.
"Uncle, don't worry, after arriving in the capital, I will definitely go to meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Wang Zhongsi nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, this time our army broke through the Tibetan army and captured a lot, you go to the capital this time and take these things to your majesty." ”
"Uncle, when am I leaving?"
"You've been in prison for so long, recuperate for a day, and set off early the day after tomorrow."
Li An bowed his head and said, "Yes, uncle." ”
Walking out of Zhang Qiqiu's mansion, Li An let out a big sigh, feeling that the world is so vast, and he has made a little contribution in the small place of Anbian City, which has actually attracted the attention of Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which is not a lucky thing that anyone can have.
"Big brother, big brother, Zhang Guangsheng is back."
Li Kunxiong shouted, pulling Li An's thoughts back.
"Li Shaolang, I'm really sorry, the war horse accidentally broke his leg, and when I walked to Zhuolu Valley, it was already dark, and the valley mouth was empty."
As soon as he saw Ang Lee, Zhang Guangsheng apologized for his explanation.
Li An sighed and patted Zhang Guangsheng on the shoulder: "It's hard work, this may be all providence, I can't blame you." ”
"Big brother, what should we do now? Don't want the sprouts? ”
Li An Zhengse said: "Early the day after tomorrow, we will go to the capital, His Majesty the Emperor wants to see me, now, I want to go to Zhuolu Valley to have a look in person, will you go with you?" ”
Everyone nodded slightly, willing to go with them.
Li An stepped on the war horse, took Kunxiong, Feiyu, Shouyu, and Erniu, and rode away from Anbian City and ran towards the direction of Zhuolu Valley.
In order to speed things up, the five of them brought ten batches of horses and rotated their rides along the way to save horsepower.
In the evening, Li An and his entourage of five arrived at the valley mouth of Zhuolu Valley, but the valley mouth was empty and there was no one.
'Handkerchiefs, how can there be handkerchiefs on the branches. Lee rode over and took the handkerchief in his hand.
The white handkerchief is embroidered with a weeping willow, and the crooked branches of this weeping willow are full of tender buds, which looks very beautiful.
'Sprout, this must have been embroidered by Sprout's own hand. ’
Li An immediately recognized the handiwork of the young shoots, and the fresh shoots of the willow branches represented the tender shoots.
"Big brother, it seems that Li Hanlu didn't break his promise, we broke our promise."
Li Feiyu rode his horse lightly and galloped over.
Li Anxin sighed for a while, although he missed this opportunity, but the existence of this handkerchief proves that the young sprouts are still alive, so he is relieved, he believes that with Li Hanlu, the young sprouts will live very well.
A cold wind blew from Taniguchi, blowing up the snow foam on the ground and hitting Ang Lee's cheek, causing Ang Lee to feel a trace of pain.
The wind in Tanikou has always been very strong, Li Hanlu and the young buds were blown by the snow foam for a day, but they couldn't wait for themselves, they must be very sad in their hearts! At least the young sprouts will definitely be sad in her heart, and she left this handkerchief because she thought that the eldest brother would definitely come here, but she didn't catch up with the time.
"Everything is providential, let's go back!"
After staying in the direction of Taniguchi for a while, Ang Lee tucked the handkerchief into his arms and returned from his horse.
"Driving ......"
The crowd followed Li An and ran back to Anbian City.
After resting for a day in Anbian City, Li An is about to leave the capital, and Wang Zhongji is also leaving Ulzhou, and Shuofang is in front of him.
In order to escort the spoils of war, Wang Zhongsi asked Zhang Qiqiu to allocate more than 50 soldiers of the Hengye Army to Li An, so that Li An could lead this team of 100 people to the capital.
