Shangyuan Festival (1)
Everyone came out of the Jixian Palace, Li Sanlang looked up, the full moon in the sky was extremely bright at the moment, and the annual Shangyuan Festival finally came as scheduled, for people who had just experienced a life-and-death coup, it was a blessing to be alive at the moment.
He turned his head to look at Li Ke beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Li, I have something to understand, and I want to ask for advice." ”
I was nervous just now, but I didn't feel that my arm hurt, but now Li Ke is already in pain and cold sweat is breaking out on his forehead, Yuewa is supporting Li Ke, Xiao Taibai is pulling his mother's clothes and feet tightly, Li Ke heard Li Sanlang's question, so he replied: "Li Sicheng, excuse me." ”
Li Sanlang asked: "I saw Qiler just now, why do you not care about Your Majesty's safety, and still fight hard to attack Qiler, is it possible that Your Majesty's life is not as important as capturing Qiler?" This question was actually held in Li Sanlang's heart for a long time, and he finally couldn't help it at this moment, so he asked each other.
Li Ke was silent for a while, and replied in a low voice: "Back to Li Sicheng, I expected that Chen Wuji would not dare to make a move, so this is the case." ”
Li Ke's answer did not satisfy Li Sanlang, he frowned, and continued to ask: "How can you see it?" ”
Li Ke continued to reply: "Your Majesty Shicai is their only hostage, if Chen Wuji makes a move to Your Majesty, then we will have no scruples, so I expect that he will not dare to make a move; But if Zeller is not caught, there will be even greater danger, and more innocent lives will be lost as a result! ”
After hearing this, Li Sanlang couldn't help but stop, he looked at Li Ke, and said in a trembling voice: "But what if Chen Wuji can't control it for a while and makes a move?" Dare to ask Li Duwei, in your heart, the king and the people, which is more important? ”
Li Ke listened, also stopped, turned to look at Li Sanlang, and fell into silence again, Li Sanlang's eyes were firmly fixed on Li Sanlang, anxiously waiting for the answer in his mouth, Li Ke finally spoke: "If you have to choose one of the two, Li chooses - the people!" ”
Li Ke's answer made Li Sanlang's heart mixed for a while, he didn't know whether Li Ke's idea was right or wrong, since Li Dan had a secret conversation with him that night, Li Sanlang had planted the seeds of the emperor in his heart, he hoped that Li Ke was a chivalrous man who helped the world, but he also longed for Li Ke to be able to smear his liver and brain, but Li Ke's answer at this time was undoubtedly to choose the former, such a person is happy or sad for himself? Li Sanlang didn't have an answer for a while, so Li Sanlang listened, didn't say a word, and continued to move forward silently.
At this moment, Zhang Jiuling walked towards Li Sanlang and whispered, "Yu Sicheng, the prince invited us to go to the East Palace with us." ”
Li Sanlang nodded lightly and replied in a low voice, "Got it." ”
A moment later, the main hall of the East Palace.
Li Sanlang and Li Ke were the last to arrive, and the hall was already full of people, and as soon as they entered the hall, they saw that Gao Lishi was also in the hall. When Gao Lishi saw the two of them, he immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty's dictation, Li Ke and Pei Min take the order!" ”
The two immediately knelt down to receive the order, and Gao Lishi continued to say loudly: "According to Your Majesty's instructions, Li Ke, the captain of the divine dragon, and Pei Min, the sword saint, have meritorious service in escorting, and now the facts of the case are clear, and all the previous crimes of Li Ke are pardoned, and on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, I will escort and worship the Buddha with Pei Min!" ”
Li Ke was overjoyed when he heard that he had been pardoned for all his crimes, and he glanced at Yuewa, and immediately fell to the ground to thank him, he could finally return to the unrestrained life he had at the beginning, and Pei Min on the side was also happy, nodding frequently at the two of them.
Gao Lishi continued: "Li Ke and Pei Min were injured in their escort today, and I was very worried, so I sent a special imperial doctor to treat the two of them, and then gave ten bottles of tribute Jinchuang medicine, hoping to get well as soon as possible, and gave Pei Min thirty jars of fine wine, so I admire this!" ”
When Pei Min heard that he had won another thirty jars of fine wine, he was also overjoyed, and he hurriedly fell to the ground to thank him; After getting up, Yuewa accompanied the two of them to enter the side room with the imperial doctor to pull out arrows to heal their injuries.
Seeing the two of them out of the main hall, Gao Lishi continued: "At the behest of Your Majesty, Chen Xuanli will receive the order. Chen Xuanli immediately knelt down and prepared to receive the order.
Gao Lishi said: "Chen Xuanli has a meritorious service in saving the car today, and he is specially temporarily promoted to the deputy commander of the Yulin Army for a period of three months, in order to observe the after-effects, if the merit is significant, he should officially take up this position, and he will be here!" Chen Xuanli's official position was promoted several levels at once, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him; Everyone also hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate; It turned out that today's female emperor did not dare to directly arrange other generals in the barracks in order to avoid being alarmed, so she secretly ordered Gao Lishi to contact Chen Xuanli directly, and asked him to send people to Anximen alone and put in reinforcements, so that there was today's Jixian Palace to rescue the car; If it weren't for Chen Xuanli's contribution, it would be difficult for the reinforcements to enter the Shendu City, and it is indeed unpredictable who will win and who will lose in the end today, so Chen Xuanli won this reward, and no one was dissatisfied.
After the will was announced, Gao Lishi walked in front of Li Sanlang again, and whispered: "Your Majesty asked the villain to bring a message to Si Cheng, Li Sicheng is young and brave, I see it in my eyes, I hope you can go on like this for a long time, and he will be rewarded in the future!" ”
Li Sanlang listened, his heart warmed, he didn't expect His Majesty to have forgotten himself, and immediately prepared to thank him, Gao Lishi hurriedly grabbed Li Sanlang's arm and said: "Li Sicheng doesn't need to thank you, the villain says goodbye!" With that, he said goodbye to everyone and turned around and left the East Palace.
After seeing Gao Lishi leave, the prince was overjoyed, smiled and said loudly: "The unsolved case for many days has finally been solved, and I have to thank you for your hard work!" Tomorrow, we can finally enjoy this grand event without distractions! The prince said, everyone echoed and said yes, but Zhang Cambodia and Li Sanlang frowned tightly and didn't say a word, the prince saw the expressions of the two, and asked suspiciously: "The two of you are so displeased, dare to ask what is it for?" ”
Zhang Cambodia and Li Sanlang glanced at each other, Zhang Cambodia sighed lightly, and replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is not that the old minister is disappointed, but today's incident makes the old minister extremely worried, so he is displeased!" ”
After hearing this, the prince continued to ask: "Dare to ask the elder what worries him?" ”
Zhang Cambodia hesitated for a moment and replied: "The foundation of the imperial court is unstable!" ”
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the elder say this?" ”
Zhang Cambodia replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone is here today, there is more than one person in the court who plans to mutiny and rebel, but the court system is negligent, and a deputy commander of the forbidden army can mobilize an army and force His Majesty into such a dangerous situation, which is really frightening." ”
Zhang Cambodia said, everyone just woke up, tonight seems to be just a Qile mutiny, but he is not the only one who has this plan, Wu Sansi and Taiping are also preparing at all times? There are other things I don't know for the time being, maybe there are also moves, the prince and the prince sighed in unison, and the prince said: "It seems that the time has come for the court to make some changes!" ”
The prince's words seem simple, but in fact, no one dares to speculate on the deep meaning behind it, at least it is a political innovation, but at worst, maybe this is also a mutiny, so no one dares to answer in a hurry for a while. The prince was silent for a moment, and continued to ask Li Sanlang: "San Lang, are you worried about the same things as the elder Ge?" ”
Li Sanlang looked at Zhang Cambodia and replied: "Back to the prince, no, what I am worried about is something else." ”
After hearing this, the prince hurriedly asked, "What else makes San Lang like this?" ”
Li Sanlang also hesitated for a moment and replied: "San Lang can't tell what the problem is, but I always feel that tonight's things are too smooth, and I can't help but feel a little strange." Keduo, who acted so rigorously before, why was he arrested so easily today, it stands to reason that everything has indeed come to light, but San Lang always feels that there is still something wrong. ”
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "San Lang, you are too worried, today's matter has been over, and the murderers of the gods for many days have been arrested. ”
Li Sanlang nodded lightly after hearing this, and said no more.
But Zhang Cambodia on the side said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister thinks that Li Sicheng's concern is not unreasonable, no matter what, we must not be careless on the Shangyuan Festival tomorrow, and everything must be careful!" ”
After hearing this, the prince nodded, and replied, "Zhang Ge's words are reasonable. After that, he turned to Huan Yanfan, Jinghui and the others and said: "You should return to the camp as soon as possible, rectify military affairs as soon as possible, do not be careless, and be sure to ensure that you are thorough during the Shangyuan period tomorrow!" ”
The generals replied in unison: "Oh! Preparing to retreat, when he walked in front of Li Sanlang, he brought his family members to Li Sanlang and bowed deeply. This scene was seen in the eyes of the prince, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After the generals left, Li Ke and Pei Min also happened to take out the arrow clusters, bandage them, and return to the main hall to resign! The prince looked at Xiao Taibai, who was already sleeping in the hand of Mochizuki Wa, and said: "This son is extremely talented, and he must be cultivated well in the future, and he will become a great weapon!" The three thanked the prince and withdrew from the East Palace.
The original hall was full of people, but now there are only four people left: the prince, the king, Zhang Cambodia, and Li Sanlang, the prince was silent for a moment, and said to Zhang Cambodia and Li Sanlang: "Today's hard work, the two of you will go back to rest first, and I still have something to discuss with Brother Wang." After hearing this, the two of them didn't want to ask more, and they also said goodbye to the East Palace together.
After everyone left, the prince introduced King Xiang into the secret room, and King Xiang didn't know why the prince was suddenly like this, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
The prince and the king sat facing each other, but did not speak, the prince took out the silver cup, poured two glasses of wine, and handed a glass to the king, the king really couldn't think of why the prince was like this, so he quickly took the glass and looked at the prince tremblingly.
The prince finally spoke: "Now that we are two brothers, how about we get rid of those false courtesies and have a frank conversation?" ”
After hearing this, King Xiang hurriedly replied: "What is the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince?" If there is something to say, say it bluntly, Brother Wang will do his best! ”
The prince then raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all!
