Chapter Seventy-Three: I Can't Help Myself

Jiangling Mansion to Chang'an is thousands of miles away, originally by waterway along the Han River to the north can go directly to Guanzhong, but because Li Zhen is used to seeing the steel ships of later generations, at this time looking at those simple small wooden boats is really scared, and finally had to take the land route, passing through the three major states of Xiang, Deng and Shang, and finally arrived in Chang'an.

Although everyone rode on horseback, it was inconvenient to gallop on horseback, otherwise it would definitely disturb the soldiers stationed along the way; Second, having Zhao Wan accompanying him undoubtedly slowed down the speed of the entire team, but fortunately, although there were bandits and bandits on the way, they had already disappeared after seeing these five hundred elite horsemen from a distance, so they were safe.

"Da Lang, what do you say this Chang'an City looks like? Is it like the merchants say that orchids are everywhere and beautiful women are like clouds, is it more prosperous than Gangneung Mansion? Well, this time Aya is not here, and I will definitely eat good wine and meat for a while when I arrive in Chang'an! Hahaha! Hey? Why don't you look so happy? As soon as Yan Heng thought of this, his heart instantly blossomed, but he turned to see Li Zhen glaring at him.

Li Zhen glanced at Yan Heng, and said angrily: "This time I went to Chang'an to be tried, and if I can't say it, I won't be able to protect my head, why do you still have the heart to think about this?!" ”

Yan Heng laughed when he heard this: "I said Aye, you are blessed with great fortune and luck, and you can't die!" ”

"You Aya said that if you can't die, you can't die? He's not an emperor! ”

"Of course, Aya said that if he can't die, he can't die at all!"

Li Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, sometimes you are so naΓ―ve that people want to slap you!" ”

In front of the team, Li Chengye and Tian An walked side by side, Tian An was a man of few words, and rarely took the initiative to talk to people except Yan Shuo, while Li Chengye frowned all the way, looking preoccupied.

The day before leaving, Li Deyu said to himself, which made Li Chengye feel uneasy about this trip to Chang'an.

What Li Deyu said is good, once His Majesty officially recognizes this son, then no matter whether Li Zhen has the heart to fight for the prince or not, he is bound to become a thorn in the side of King Yun and Chao Meiren.

Li Wen, the king of Yun, is three years younger than Li Zhen, although he is still young, but Chao Meiren is a figure who has to be guarded against, and for this kind of harem concubine who is good at blowing the wind on the pillow, Li Zhen has undoubtedly fallen first.

The only thing that can be used is His Majesty's indebtedness to Li Zhen for the past eleven years, as long as this point is properly utilized, although it is not guaranteed to be smooth, but at least it can save some opportunities, and no matter how bad it is, it can delay some time.

And as long as Li Zhen's wings are gradually enriched in this time, then everything will still have a turnaround.

Party struggle, Li Chengye couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought of this, once upon a time he hated the most things, but now he has to do it, not only to do it, but also to do it beautifully, which makes Li Chengye feel contradictory, he has been an official for decades, and he has only truly realized those four words until today: I can't help myself.

On the chess game of the court, no one can be themselves, everyone is a chess piece in this chess game, and there are only two words in control of this chess game: interests.

"What is Li Fuyin thinking?" At this moment, Xiao Liang rode up and followed.

It was rare for Xiao Liang to take the initiative to speak, Li Chengye was a little surprised, but he also smiled slightly: "It's nothing, this time I return to Beijing, Xiao Guards must be able to regain their freedom!" ”

Xiao Liang was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then looked into the distance and said slowly: "Since the moment I entered the Guangwang Mansion, I have no more freedom!" ”

Li Chengye didn't speak, thinking that he didn't know what to say, he didn't know what Xiao Liang had experienced, and he had no right to judge himself.

......

Gangneung, Lee Deok-yu house.

Yan Shuo's eyes were a little red, so he didn't raise his head after stepping into the Li Mansion, but Li Deyu, who was a partial, kept talking, which made Yan Shuo's heart even more annoyed.

"That's it! Li Yuanjun, if you have anything to say, just say it! Yan Shuo finally couldn't help but interrupt Li Deyu's nonsense.

"Hahaha! Yan Wuzheng, can't pretend? When I saw you off today, I saw that your look was wrong, but I never expected that such a reckless man as you would also be sad! Are you reluctant to give up your son?! Li Deyu laughed loudly.

Yan Shuo finally shed a few tears from the corners of his eyes when he heard this, and then waved his hand and said, "I knew that the envoy deliberately looked at my joke, so I wouldn't come!" ”

"Hehe, do you hate the old man in your heart now? If it weren't for the old man's idea, Yan Heng wouldn't have gone to Chang'an! Li Deyu said with a smile.

Yan Shuo sighed, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said slowly: "Although I am a martial artist, after all, I have also been in the officialdom for decades, so that I understand the meaning of the king, this is the method of killing two birds with one stone, I don't blame you!" ”

"Hahaha, it's a good one to kill two birds with one stone, although it sounds a little harsh, but after all, it still means this! Yan Heng and Li Zhen have known each other since childhood and are like brothers, although Li Zhen's trip to Chang'an this time is not dangerous, but it will not be too smooth, he needs a brother by his side! ”

Li Deyu paused slightly when he said this, and then was silent for a long time before he said: "Although Li Ziyun has been an official in the domain for a long time, he still doesn't understand the dirty things in the court, and there are many things he can't do with his temperament, and he doesn't bother to do it, so the old man can only worry more about him!" ”

"So sure that Li Zhen can win the King of Yun?" Yan Shuo was puzzled.

"It's not a certainty, but a must, Li Zhen must fight, and he must get to that position!"

"Why?"

"Although King Yun is still young, he is arrogant by nature, unenterprising, weak and immoral, if such a person becomes the son of the Tang Dynasty, it will be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty!" Li Deyu put away his smile, and his face became extremely solemn.

Yan Shuo thought for a while and said, "Are you sure you're talking about King Yun and not Li Zhen?" ”

Li Deyu couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, "Although Li Zhen is stubborn, he is very smart and thoughtful, and more importantly, he has his own bottom line, an untouchable bottom line, which is why the old man dares to be so determined!" ”

"But, what's the trouble of making you do this? Even I can see that it is difficult for the envoy to return to the court, even if Li Zhen succeeds to the throne in the future, the envoy can be sure that he can wait for that day?! Yan Shuo asked.

After hearing this, Li Deyu's expression suddenly became complicated, but there was a long-lost expectation in his slightly cloudy eyes.

"The old man is old, there is not much to do for the Tang Dynasty, the unfinished great cause of the year will be driven west, and now His Majesty is sacred, and the four seas are surrendered, but this is just an appearance, once His Majesty returns to the west, then the two generations of emperors have exhausted their lives to create this great opportunity to watch it destroyed, and the old man must not watch this game of chess that he has single-handedly run be disrupted by mediocrity!" Li Deyu said softly, his words full of pathos.

Yan Shuo nodded, "Well, Li Zhen's baby is indeed much more awake than the one in my family, but after all, he is young, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more variables in the future, it is still too hasty!" ”

"Hahaha! Wu Zheng's words are wrong, Li Zhen's plan sometimes even the old man is amazed! ”
