In the past three years, there have always been many changes in things and people.

Li Su himself has changed, I can't say where it has changed, after experiencing the tragic war, Li Su's appearance is still the same as before, and he is often not serious, but only he knows best, and his mentality has changed unconsciously.

Dongyang was immersed in the joy of reunion, and did not notice his change, Li Su himself was also well hidden, a person who came down from the battlefield and still had countless lives in his hands, standing in front of Dongyang, he couldn't even feel the anger on his body, as if he was still the brilliant young man who was too lazy to eat and wait for death in the past, but after all, there was something unspeakably unusual in his heart, whether it was ferocious or vicissitudes, it was different from that year after all.

Speaking of the Xizhou experience, Li Su deliberately understated it, and only picked out some interesting and interesting topics to say, for the tragedy of the battles of defending the city, he only said a few words.

A lover met, Dongyang went back satisfied, went back and continued to kneel in front of the statue of Daojun, reciting scriptures unintentionally, maybe in the dead of night, he would remember the sweet moment when Li Su hugged him, and then put his head in the futon and blushed.

Cultivating the Tao and cutting off the mortal heart, after all, is not a real Taoist person.

…………

Li Su also returned home, and he only met Dongyang for a short time, and he still had a lot to do.

First of all, you must meet Wang Zhi, the second eldest member of the Wang family.

Wang Zhi was a secret chess piece planted by Li Su in Chang'an City, and this chess piece proved to be very useful, and even saved his life at a critical moment. It's been three years, Li Su and Wang Zhi haven't communicated with each other, and I don't know how he has developed.

Wang Zhi came quickly, and Li Shimin ordered the eunuchs to reward Li Su with three holy decrees in front of everyone in Chang'an City yesterday. This matter has been known all over the city, such a beautiful reward, no one has been able to match since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhi was mixed with the crowd of onlookers yesterday, blushing and applauding hoarsely, but Li Su didn't hear it. After Li Su entered the palace, Wang Zhi immediately went out of the city and returned home, waiting for Li Su and his eldest brother to return to the village.

Last night, Li Su went home and reunited with his family, Wang Zhi didn't bother, knowing that Li Su was going to see Dongyang today, Wang Zhi still knew each other very well and didn't bother, until Li Su said goodbye to Dongyang and walked back with a spring breeze on his face, Wang Zhi finally robbed the primary school students after school like a bad teenager in society. He was blocked under the ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village.

Li Su was very surprised, and after staying for a long time, he was sure that it was not the enemy who blocked him, but the brother, so he stepped forward quickly, and the two brothers hugged each other vigorously, Wang Zhi laughed twice, and then his whole face collapsed.

"I was saying I was going to look for you, and here you are. Let's go, find a place to talk. Li Su hooked Wang Zhi's shoulder and walked into the woods.

Wang Zhi looked at Li Su deeply. sighed: "Thin, it's darker than before, it seems that your life in Xizhou is very hard......"

Li Su didn't hide it in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "I almost lost my life, what is it if I am black and thin......

Wang Zhi blinked: "Why don't you ask why my eldest brother didn't come with me to see you?" ”

Li Su sighed and said disdainfully: "Do you still need to ask?" You appeared in front of me with a sad face. Saying that you are 'like a mourner', it is inevitably disrespectful to your father and mother, and there is only one possibility left,...... I'm afraid your boss is still lying in bed and screaming, right? ”

Wang Zhipo said in surprise: "How do you know? ”

Li Su sneered: "Three years ago, I didn't say hello and secretly ran out of the house, so I had to make a contribution to me." There has been no news in the past three years, although this kind of husband is not as serious as 'everyone gets it and punishes him', at least it should be smoked by everyone, if the mother-in-law of the family is a gentle and lovely woman who is obedient, it is just that, but his mother-in-law is a ruthless character who is full of martial arts and can set off three-foot waves without wind, if the boss of your family is not beaten when he goes back, it will be unreasonable......"

Wang Zhi was greatly admired, and Gao Shan arched his hand towards him with a posture of looking up: "Brother's expectation is not bad at all." ”

Li Suyouyou asked, "Was your boss beaten badly?" What level of disability? ”

Wang Zhi scratched his head and sighed: "Last night, my Wang family was really a chicken and a dog...... As soon as my brother stepped into the door, he saw his family head-on, and before my mother could come forward to hug her head and cry, my brother fell into my sister-in-law's plot, and knocked on the back of the head with a stick and fainted......"

Li Su's cheeks twitched a few times, although he didn't see this scene with his own eyes, he could deeply understand Wang Zhu's pain, and then looked at Wang Zhi's expression, both of them felt that the back of their heads was not very comfortable, and they raised their hands and touched the back of their heads at the same time with a tacit understanding.

"So, your eldest has been dizzy until today?" Li Su asked.

Wang Zhi sighed: "If it can be done so easily, but it is the creation of my brother, and there is no news for three years, how can a dull stick be able to explain it?" My brother was beaten in the middle of the night, my sister-in-law was crying and beating, and my brother was screaming and beating. ”

Wang Zhi shook his head, showing a deep look of horror, and sighed: "My sister-in-law is good at everything, but her temper is too short-tempered, my brother was poisoned by my sister-in-law this time, and I am afraid that I will have to lie down for more than ten days before I can go to the ground......"

Seeing Wang's terrifying appearance, Li Su couldn't find anything to comfort him for a while, and after a long time, he said coldly: "Is your eldest brother seriously injured?" ”

Wang Zhi nodded: "There are about a dozen large and small injuries, ranging from bruises to broken bones......

"Odd or even?" Li Su looked at him expectantly.

"What?" Wang Zhi was at a loss.

"Are the injuries on your eldest brother's body odd or even?"

"This ...... Why do you ask? ”

"I made a bet with Zheng Xiaolou yesterday, betting that your brother's injuries are single or double, the bet is as high as a penny, Zheng Xiaolou bets on a single one, I bet on double, wait for you to help count when you go back, tell your brother to fight for some anger, the injury on your body is best to be even, if it is not a double number, you will be ruthless, and then give your brother a fierce ......"

Wang Zhi looked at Li Su speechlessly, and sighed: "It's really ...... my brother to have a friend like you."

"It's really a mountain and a river, and I've accumulated eight lifetimes of great virtue, okay, deep friendship is in plain sight, I understand,...... Tell us about your situation. In the past three years, I have been mixed in Chang'an City, have you grown up? ”

When it came to his career, Wang Zhi immediately put his brother's injury behind him, and swept away the decline of Fang Cai, and his expression became eyebrows and danced.

"I've been mixing too well in the past three years, and I'm no longer the idler I used to be in the two cities. It's a real limelight, I don't believe you go to Chang'an to inquire, ask someone casually on the way, and ask him if he knows the king of Chang'an......"

"Wait, who's the king?" Li Su interrupted him at the right time.

Wang Zhi cocked his thumb, pointed at himself, and said proudly: "Of course it's me, because I'm good at knocking on the back when fighting with the idlers in Chang'an City, for a long time." Heroes from all walks of life in Chang'an City gave me this nickname as a sign of respect......"

Li Su: "...... You continue. ”

Wang Zhi continued to dance with his eyebrows: "The past three years can be described as gratifying......

Li Su had to interrupt him again: "You planted vegetables in Chang'an City?" ”

"I mean, in the past three years, there have been a lot more idlers under my command, and the territory in Chang'an City has also expanded, not only in the east and west cities, but also in the city of one hundred and eight squares, and there are sixty squares where my king can speak, not only making friends with heroes from all walks of life. Even the Fang officials and the Wuhou who patrol the streets also have a lot of brothers and sisters with me, and they often come and go......"

Li Su smiled and arched his hand at him: "It turned out to be the face of Brother Wang's stuffy stick." Look up for a long time. ”

Wang Zhi pursed his lips: "Disgusting me, right?" In the past few years, relying on your funding, I have gained a firm foothold in Chang'an, if you don't stand behind me, who knows what kind of goods I am Wang Zhi? ”

Li Su sighed: "But I haven't taught you to knock other people's sticks, so don't be presumptuous." Your reputation is earned by your own strength, especially the reputation of knocking on the stick. ”

"That's ......" Wang Zhi accepted Li Su's praise very immodestly, and said: "According to your instructions back then, over the years, I have not only met the officials and marquis of the Fang, but also the cooks of those powerful families in the court. Butlers, servants, many of them also have some friendships, now the big and small news in Chang'an City, including the rumors and wind direction in the court, I can find out a thing or two, Li Su, you have returned to Chang'an, this is a good thing, but the water in Chang'an City is too muddy, you will inevitably be involved in some things in the future, although I can't help you too much, but to find out the news or spread rumors and other small things, I can still help you take care of one or two. ”

Li Su patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I won't tell you kind words, there are more places to use you in the future, from today on, the relationship between you and me is still low-key, don't let any outsiders know, with you supporting me behind my back, I am finally no longer lonely, in the future, your brother will be an official and a general, he will be a character on the bright side like me, and many things that cannot be inconvenient can only rely on your help." ”

Wang Zhi nodded: "Don't worry, back then, you arranged for me to enter Chang'an City to make friends with people from all walks of life, so that today, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, and things have been done a little bit." ”

After a pause, Wang Zhi suddenly smiled and said: "You have very few enemies in Chang'an City, but the origin is too big, and I have deliberately helped you pay attention to it in the past few years, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ......, hehe." ”

"What's wrong with the prince?"

Wang Zhi smiled a little mysteriously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, he is becoming more and more uncompetitive, a few years ago he was still pretending to be presentable, what is familiar with poetry and books, gentle and polite, looking down on the suffering of the people, etc., pretending to be a little impatient for all these years, all kinds of inferiority have been exposed in recent years, many ministers in the court shook their heads at their behavior, and even His Majesty was angered by him many times......"

Li Su blinked curiously: "What did he do?" ”

Wang Zhi began to fold his hands and count: "The older you get, the more you do nonsense, you especially like strange things, last year when His Majesty went out to fight against Xue Yantuo, the prince stayed in Chang'an to supervise the country, and the subordinate officials of the East Palace sent the prince's right guard to lead a hundred people to loot the east city of Chang'an, Chang'an's Hu Shang suffered, but all the strange shapes, precious wine vessels, wine tripods, rare birds and beasts, as well as blue-eyed orchids with superior appearance, etc., were robbed into the East Palace for the prince to play ......"

At that time, Wei Zheng and others in the court couldn't see it, and when the court meeting complained directly, the prince was furious, and he wanted to scold Wei Zheng with a cane, tsk, even His Majesty did not dare to punish the iron-clad minister, but the prince did not blink and issued an edict, I heard that Wei Zheng was standing in the Taiji Hall at that time and was so angry that he almost fainted, fortunately the eldest grandson Wuji was stopped by the palace, Wei Zheng was exempted from punishment, this matter made a big fuss, after His Majesty won the court, Wei Zheng and many officials of the Imperial History Terrace were sparse, and the prince's mistakes were counted, His Majesty was so angry that he couldn't do it, On the day he returned to Chang'an, he called the prince into the palace and severely reprimanded him, and ordered the emperor to admit his mistake in the Wei Zheng mansion......"

The prince admitted his mistake on the surface. I was not convinced, and after returning to the East Palace, I said that the subordinate officials said that the ministers in the court relied on the old and sold the old, and if he was the emperor, he would do his best to cleanse the old dynasty. Do whatever I want. I don't know who spread this word, His Majesty Long Yan was furious, and called the prince into the palace to reprimand and admonish, not long after, His Majesty gave Wei Wangtai two nine-winged jade screen honor guard things, it is said that the nine-winged jade screen this thing, non-emperor and prince can not use, now given to the king of Wei, Chang'an is full of shock. Rumors of the abolition of Chu Li Wei spread more and more, and the DPRK and China were in turmoil for several months......"

Wang Zhi said a lot, Li Su listened very carefully, chewed and pondered every word a few times, and then said slowly with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince...... It's really a pioneer who is in a hurry to die, today is the peak age of the Spring and Autumn Period, but he, who is the prince, is impatient to wait, and it is true. Zhenguan was canonized as the crown prince in the first year, and this has been waiting for more than ten years. Your Majesty is still a dragon and a tiger, he, the prince, said that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, he was often admonished and reprimanded, and was judged by his character, and the prince was not even as good as his grandson, and it was time for him to lose his heart......"

Wang Zhi blinked: "Do these rumors work for you?" ”

Li Su smiled: "Of course it works." I have been away from Chang'an for a long time, and my eyes are black on the current Tang Capital, and I don't know anything, but fortunately you are here, otherwise I will get into trouble when I go out...... Tell me about it. The bewitching little man who was sent to the East Palace back then...... Ahem, the bewitching man is satisfied, what's going on now? Can you please the prince? ”

Wang Zhi smiled strangely: "That satisfaction, hehe, it is really a natural charm, but it is a pity that the wrong gender was born, but even if it is a man, it is enough to bring disaster to the country and the people, the second year you went to Xizhou, I don't know what kind of flattery this heart used, and it was held in the palm of the prince's hand as a treasure, and the prince often called him to sleep in recent years......"

Wang Zhi said, with a confused look on his face, and said: "I haven't figured this out, men and men...... What's the matter? ”

"No discrimination, love regardless of age, regardless of gender, wait until you live for a thousand more years, you will know, sometimes even species are not an obstacle, as the so-called roads lead to Chang'an, waterways can't go, you can also take dry roads...... Li Suyi said solemnly: "Go on, what happened to the heart?" ”

"Satisfying...... According to your instructions, the heart of the past few years to charm the prince, last June the prince with the heart of the travel, on the road the prince's horse frightened, the prince lying on the back of the horse frightened, the heart was also awake, flying to pull the prince off the horse, barely saved the prince's life, but he was trampled by the horse's hooves, will raise for two or three months, since then, the prince's symmetry heart can be said to be all from the word, grace to the extreme, and the heart also lives up to expectations, a mind began to pry the prince to do things that hurt the heavens, last year the East Palace officials exhausted, Robbing Hu Shang Zhenqi and Orchid Ji, etc., saying that the prince loved it, but in fact it was all behind the heart, and the prince's reputation now caused the dissatisfaction of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and they were all satisfied. ”

Li Su was dumbfounded and muttered, "I just didn't intend to play this move at the beginning, but I didn't expect it...... This guy is really born with a misfortune. ”

Wang Zhi smiled and said: "This move is right, I heard that now not only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military is dissatisfied with the prince, even His Majesty is extremely disappointed in the prince, several times secretly summoned the left concubine of the East Palace Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun and others into the palace, asked about the affairs of the East Palace, and urged the officials of the East Palace to strictly supervise the prince, so that he can be diligent in learning, aware of the suffering, not to waste learning, arrogant and lascivious, the officials of the East Palace have advised the prince countless times, but unfortunately the prince does not accept, His Majesty often heard what the prince did, and he was more and more disappointed, it is said that at the beginning of this year, His Majesty summoned the eldest grandson Wuji into the palace for a banquet, and there were often angry and resentful words during the banquet, which seemed to have the meaning of easy storage......"

Wang Zhi spoke endlessly, and Li Su's expression became more and more soothing.

If you want to make it perish, first make it crazy, Li Chengqian is now doing all the things that anger and resentment of the heavens, for Li Su, it is indeed a joy to see, every time he does something that loses his morality and loses his heart, it means that he is one step closer to the abyss, but he doesn't realize it.

Wang Zhi looked at Li Su's gradually soothing expression, and said with a smile: "When you provoked this big enemy, I have been sweating for you for the past few years, but if it seems that you don't do it at all, you, the enemy, can bring yourself to a dead end." ”

Li Su shook his head and said: "The prince will not be easily abolished, don't forget how His Majesty ascended the throne today, hehe, the change of Xuanwumen is a taboo, more than ten years have passed, the people of the world are still angry, for the stability of the world, the next generation of emperors of the Tang Dynasty must establish the eldest son, as for the extra favor of King Wei, it is just a balancing act of His Majesty, for the prince and the courtiers to see, the prince's usual loss of virtue and misconduct will not become a reason for being deposed, unless...... One day the crown prince rebelled, and His Majesty would depose him. ”

Wang Zhi scratched his head: "I don't understand what you said, fortunately, you went back to Chang'an, so you told me directly, what should I do next?" ”

Li Su's expression was solemn, and he said with a straight face: "There is one thing right now, you really have to do it yourself......

Seeing that Li Su was so serious, Wang Zhi's expression also became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if you say it, you can go to the soup and go to the fire for you." ”

"It's not that serious, it's still what I just said, you go home and count whether the wounds on your brother's body are single or double, if it's singular, give your brother another hard blow, turn the wound into a double number, remember to count clearly, I bet a penny." (To be continued.) )
