Chapter 704: The Great Resignation
Entertaining foreign guests was not pleasant for Li Su, in fact, Li Su did not like to entertain anyone, especially when he was lying in the room comfortably drinking hot tea, roasting charcoals, falling into the state of wandering things, thinking about the relationship between man and the universe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, Lu Dongzan chose to visit at this time, which is an "uninvited guest" for Li Su, with Li Su's personality and temper, it is normal for the Tubo minister to eat a closed door, of course, for the sake of the gift, Li Su decided to see him, not only to see him, but also to let the foreign guests feel the demeanor of the state of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty.
Sometimes Li Su hates his own problem of seeing money, when the family was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, he naturally opened his eyes to survive when he saw money, but now he is a high lord, and he still loves money so much, it can only be said that he is a mental illness that falls after he is poor, and people who have plucked their feathers in the world should have a bitter and vicissitudes of the past.
Also look at the face of the gift, Li Su personally greeted the door, Lu Dongzan was wearing a Tubo robe and fur hat and waited outside the door, the moment the side door of the Li Mansion opened, Li Su walked out of the door, Lu Dongzan was happy, he had also come to the Li family before, but Li Suke had never personally greeted the door, the Tang Dynasty is really a state of etiquette, and the thousand-year-old sage's education is enough to make the stubborn stone nod, the dead wood grows new branches, and the hooligan becomes a gentleman......
Lu Dongzan suddenly laughed and stepped forward, when the two were a few steps apart, Lu Dongzan was about to salute, but he suddenly found that Li Su's first glance after stepping out of the door was not on himself, but on the big box behind him, Lu Dongzan's outstretched arms suddenly froze in mid-air, and his smiling face froze.
Li Su fell on the box behind Lu Dongzan at first glance when he went out, and saw that there were several large camphor wood boxes outside the door, which looked heavy, obviously this gift was not light, although he didn't know the content inside, but Li Su believed that the Tubo Prime Minister must be very sincere.
After making sure that the person really brought a gift, Li Su looked at Lu Dongzan at the second glance, and at the same time showed a smile like a spring breeze on his face, very at home.
"Ah, it turned out that Brother Lu came, and the foolish brother missed the distance, which is really a sin......"
Lu Dongzan probably understood Li Su's virtue at this time, so he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly.
"The foolish brother came presumptuously, and he didn't follow the Tang etiquette, and the virtuous brother should not be blamed."
"Haha, Brother Lu is serious, with these big boxes, Brother Lu chooses to visit in any way and in any posture, and Brother Lu is very welcome."
Lu Dongzan: "............"
"Just kidding, Brother Lu don't take it seriously, the foolish brother is a county marquis, how can there be these vulgar things in his eyes?"
The smile on the corner of Lu Dongzan's mouth was even more reluctant.
In these days in Chang'an, I have also seen countless important ministers and famous generals of the Tang Kingdom, and the most shameless one is the one in front of me, but he is still so young, and after waiting for another twenty or thirty years, I don't know what level this shameless realm will be.
Li Su very enthusiastically invited Lu Dongzan into the house, the front hall set up a banquet and wine, the banquet was very rich, the only flaw was that there was no Kabuki to help the fun, the atmosphere of the banquet was quite bland, the guest and the host had three rounds of wine, Lu Dongzan smacked his mouth regretfully, Li Suhun had not seen it.
I love foreign guests, but I love a clean and healthy life, I don't bother to pay attention to the feelings of foreign guests, and the same is true for foreign guests who give gifts.
After chatting for a while, Lu Dongzan finally said what he meant.
"Yesterday, His Majesty the Emperor of your country has decreed, in a few days, Brother Fool will escort Her Royal Highness Princess Wencheng out of Chang'an, go to Tubo to marry Zampu, today Brother Fool is here to bid farewell to Brother Zizhengxian."
Li Su showed a reluctant look and said, "This is leaving?" Stay a few more days? ”
Lu Dongzan's smile froze again, this ...... How can there be a strong fake taste?
"Seeing you, the luck of this life, after saying goodbye today, you and my brother don't know what year and month we can see again, thinking that I am about to part with my virtuous brother, the foolish brother is sad and sad......" Lu Dongzan sighed gloomily.
Li Su looked ashamed and sighed: "The foolish brother has been riddled with mundane things in the past few months, and has not had time to accompany Brother Lu to visit the famous places in Chang'an. ”
The corners of Lu Dongzan's mouth hooked, his body suddenly leaned forward, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Fool may not have come at the right time, it coincided with the rebellion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country, although the rebellion was pacified, but Brother Fool heard that His Majesty the Emperor of your country is busy cleaning the court and cutting off the remnants of the prince's party, and your country is now afraid that the government and the opposition are in a mess, right?" ”
Li Su glanced over with a smile: "Brother Lu is very interested in the affairs of my Tang Dynasty?" ”
Lu Dongzan smiled and said: "The foolish brother lives in the Sifang Pavilion day and night, and he has nothing to do, so he becomes a visitor, and he has no other intentions, don't misunderstand." ”
Li Su blinked: "Just a spectator?" ”
Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed rapidly, and he suddenly showed an extremely resentful look, and said angrily: "On the night of the rebellion of the prince of your country, I don't know which bastard set a fire to the Sifang Pavilion, and the foolish brother watched the excitement in the Sifang Pavilion, and suddenly disaster fell from the sky, burning the foolish brother's hair and beard, and the beastly behavior was simply outrageous......
Li Su suddenly coughed loudly, coughing all over his face.
It's cold, maybe bronchitis is a ......
Fortunately, Lu Dongzan didn't notice the change in Li Su's expression, he was still immersed in endless anger and couldn't extricate himself, and even his eyes turned red as he spoke, and he didn't know if he would cry.
"Afterwards, the foolish brother flipped through the "Zhenguan Law" all night, and he never said from beginning to end that he was breaking the law by watching the excitement, did he break the law by watching the excitement? Don't commit it! Whether your country is plotting rebellion, or quelling rebellion, what do these things have to do with me? Why set me on fire? Even in the eyes of our subjects in Tibet, the barbarian land of your country, such indiscriminate arson is mad! Don't teach me to find out who set the fire, and if I find out, I will fight with him endlessly! ”
Li Su continued to cough, and his face became more and more red.
It's really embarrassing, I knew I wouldn't see any guests today, how comfortable it was to drink tea and roast in the house......
After complaining angrily for a long time, Lu Dongzan finally refreshed, took a sip of wine from the cup, then exhaled a long breath, turned his head and looked at Li Su with expectant eyes.
"Brother Xian, after the foolish brother leaves Chang'an, can you help me investigate this matter?"
"Ahh Li Su's eyes were glazed.
"Check, help the foolish brother find out who the miscellaneous pieces that set the fire are, okay?" Lu Dongzan's eyes were full of infinite expectation.
"Ahh Good, good! Li Su's expression was full, and he looked at Lu Dongzan and said: "Brother Lu rest assured, the foolish brother will help Brother Lu to investigate to the end, and after finding out the real murderer behind the scenes, he will help Brother Lu to avenge his hatred, so that his life is better than death!" ”
Lu Dongzan arched his hand movingly: "Everything depends on Brother Zizhengxian." ”
"Brother Lu is polite, it is incumbent on him, and God will not tolerate treachery." Li Su said with a righteous face.
Lu Dongzan left satisfied, waved his sleeves, and took away the full belly.
Li Su returned to the front hall after seeing off the guests, took a sip of residual wine, smacked his mouth, and suddenly burst out laughing.
Datang is very unfriendly to foreign guests, of course, the most unfriendly person is himself, and the truth must be a great stimulus to Brother Lu's heart and spirit, so this matter will be regarded as an eternal unsolved case.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound of soft footsteps behind him.
Li Su turned around, but saw that the Wu clan was staring at him meaningfully, his eyes were very strange, and Li Su was very uncomfortable.
"What are you looking at?" Li Su bared his teeth.
Wu suddenly smiled, lowered his head and said, "The slave is looking at the Hou Ye......"
"What do I have to look at...... No, I'm good-looking. ”
Wu covered his mouth and smiled: "Yes, Hou Ye is very good-looking, the slave maid is just thinking, that Tubo is really pitiful, and he can suddenly suffer a catastrophe when he looks lively, and what is even more pitiful is that he actually asked Hou Ye to help him find out the real murderer......
Li Su glanced at her and said, "Did you hear it all?" ”
Wu lowered his head and said: "Master Hou forgives the sin, the slave maid has been behind the screen, it was originally ...... I was cleaning the backyard and accidentally ......"
Li Su said lightly: "Okay, just listen, you don't need to rack your brains to make up nonsense in front of me, if I am really so easy to be fooled, now you are already flying in my house in the daylight......"
Wu's face flushed, and he said sneeringly: "Master Hou forgives ...... sins"
"I don't have to say anything to forgive, your identity in my family is a guest, and I need you to help me come up with ideas if I have hesitation, so I generally don't restrict you from inquiring, and I won't blame you."
Wu Shi must have hesitated for a moment, then simply let go, and said: "The slave listened to the conversation between the Hou Ye and the Tubo Minister, and felt that the Hou Ye seemed to be ...... to the Tubo Minister. Dissatisfied? ”
Li Su sneered: "If it is not my race, its heart must be different, Datang and Tubo will eventually have a war after a few years, and now they are just accumulating strength, and this Lu Dongzan is a rare virtuous appearance in Tubo for a hundred years, quite a hero, if there is a war between Datang and Tubo in the future, this person will be the great enemy of Datang, for such a person, do you expect me to play with him in the mountains and rivers?" ”
Wu Shi thought for a while, lowered his head and said: "The slave and maid are speechless, the slave and maid are just women's families, and there is only a corner in their eyes, but they do not see the overall situation, but in the eyes of the Hou Ye, it is the whole world, and the slave and maid are not as good as the one." ”
Li Su sighed: "Don't just talk about flattery, Miss Wu, take a long-term view, and think more far-reaching, your eyes should not only be the shortcomings of these parents, or small conspiracies and calculations, these are not the right way in the end." ”
Wu said respectfully: "Yes, the slave maid has been taught." ”
The two fell silent suddenly.
After a long time, Li Su stretched his waist and was about to go back to the backyard wing room to take a nap, but Wu suddenly spoke.
"Master Hou, the slave maid boldly guessed that on the night of the prince's rebellion, the fire in the Sifang Pavilion where the Tubo Prime Minister lived...... I'm afraid it has something to do with Master Hou, right? ”
Li Su stretched his waist halfway, and then his movements suddenly froze.
Seeing Li Su's sluggish appearance, Wu couldn't help but sneer, and said softly as if muttering: "After the prince's rebellion was pacified, there were many rumors about the government and the opposition in Chang'an City, and the most spread was the nameless fire in the Sifang Pavilion, no one knew who set the fire, but the timing of the fire was just right, as soon as the rebels under Li Anyan entered the city, the Sifang Pavilion ignited a sky-high fire, which was clearly a warning to the defenders of the whole city, in fact, the defenders were able to quickly quell the rebellion, and the effect of that fire was really not small......
“…… The prince's rebellion, whether it is planning or soldiers and horses are at a disadvantage, the only advantage is the surprise attack that caught the Chang'an defenders off guard, the prince relied on, and there was only this one advantage, but the inexplicable fire completely shattered the prince's calculations, it seems that there is a doom in the dark, the prince wants to do what he wants is destined to be just a dream, waking up without a trace......"
