Chapter 563: How about the tea-making lady?
Princess Xianyi's wedding is so much an 'episode', of course, the princess herself and the concubine don't know what happened, the two are happy in hehe, no one dares to disturb.
Because of Li Huaitang, Yang Xuanjian's face was gloomy, and he hurriedly said goodbye and returned home with the 'jade' ring girl. Along the way, he couldn't understand why Li Huaitang would go straight to the princess's mansion regardless of the consequences.
Asked the shy 'jade' ring little lady, all she got was shaking her head, the little lady was immersed in happiness, and her mind was probably full of wind 'flowers' and snow moons, which care about the causes and consequences.
Yang Xuanjian thought about it, and asked the dozen or so Ningyuan Iron Knights who were close to him, but the soldiers smiled and did not answer.
It wasn't until he returned to the house that he saw the strange girl brought by Li Huaitang, and then asked the 'door' person, that the answer came out, which made him laugh.
Rushing back from Youzhou, Li Huaitang went to Quy Nhon Fang as soon as possible and prepared to settle down in Yang's Mansion. It just so happened that the whole family of the Yang Mansion went to attend the princess's wedding, and the 'door' stuttered, and Li Huaitang only heard that the 'jade' ring lady married Princess Xianyi, is this worth it? So misunderstandings are inevitable.
The 'jade' ring girl finally woke up from her sense of happiness and looked at the strange little lady at home vigilantly.
"Sister 'Jade' Huan? When Sister Ruoxi talked about her sister in Chang'an, she used up the most beautiful words and sentences in the world, and when I saw it today, I knew that what Sister Ruoxi said was true! Judging from my heart, I am afraid that the fairy will be jealous when she sees it, no wonder Li Lang calls his sister's name in his dreams at night. "The little devil 'girl' is open-mouthed, and when she sees the 'jade' ring little lady, she is absolutely 'beautiful', both jealous and shocking.
At this point, the 'jade' ring understands that this bold and straightforward sister is her Li Lang's pillow person.
"You are Li Lang's wife?" 'Jade' Huanxin is unwilling to fall behind again! However, hearing that Airo called her name in her dream made her proud.
The little devil 'girl' smiled and said proudly: "I have seen Sister 'Jade' Huan with peace of mind." ”
"Hmph, Li Lang is really romantic, and he still takes a beauty with him when he goes on the expedition." The 'jade' ring lady muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Sister blames him," the little devil 'girl' pursed her lips and smiled, and took the hand of the 'jade' ring like a familiar acquaintance, "Let's go to the room and have a good chat." ”
……
Outside the Hanyuan Palace, Li Huaitang was uneasy, and the Son of Heaven uncharacteristically praised his merits, and also issued an order to give him a Shangzhu country, which is equivalent to the current national hero or something.
The reward is not rewarded, most of the credit for the Khitan people in the battle is attributed to the Tang army, and even the thousands of miles to recall him are deliberately low-key, return to Luoyang, and wait for the announcement, Li Huaitang also smelled a peculiar smell, Ye Ji's own uncle, Qi Jishan, who was previously promoted to the head of the household department, was demoted to Dengzhou, Shandong to serve as the assassin!
All of this shows that Li Longji deliberately coldly handled Ning Yuan's iron cavalry's merits.
What are the inconsistencies?
Li Huaitang thought as he walked.
Outside the 'gate' of Chengfu in the imperial city, a familiar figure blocked his way.
"Does the Admiral still recognize me?"
"Wu Zhiyi?!How do you get a job here?"
Wu Zhiyi smiled embarrassedly: "Entrusted to the general Hongfu, stained with the general's light, Dushan survived the first battle, and was rewarded by the saint, and was transferred to the capital Wanqi as a general." I happened to be on duty today. ”
Wu Zhiyi did feel guilty in his heart, almost all of Dushan's credit was counted on him, and he was welcomed by the military and civilians of Luoyang like a hero, but the real heroes were unknown.
"Brothers fight to the death, and the title of hero is well deserved. Moreover, I did not suffer a loss, and the Holy Lord acquiesced in the cattle and sheep 'women' I stole from the Hui, Turks and Khitans, which made a lot of money. Li Huaitang laughed and punched Wu Zhiyi's shoulder. Compared with fame, he pays more attention to practical profits, and fame is a burden after that. Moreover, Wu Zhiyi is an unyielding man on the battlefield, who deserves his respect, and his merits are what he deserves.
Wu Zhiyi said: "Today, I only know the strength of the general, which is the heart of Wu Zhiyi's villain." ”
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "Brothers can come to Quy Nhon Fang to find me at any time, and I haven't had a good drink with my brothers since the victory." ”
"Okay, don't thank you for your kindness, the general is straightforward, and Wu Zhiyi doesn't act like a 'daughter', and he will go to the 'door' to bother him another day."
……
Li Huaitang didn't expect that the conversation between him and Wu Zhiyi reached Li Longji's ears word for word, even including the expressions and movements of the two at that time.
"Li Huaitang really doesn't have a grudge against the 'look'?"
Li Longji stared coldly at the two little eunuchs who were staring at him. People's hearts are separated from their bellies, and words are sometimes far away from the truth.
"Nope. But when talking about cattle and sheep, there is a complacent look. "The eunuchs reported truthfully, they were all secretly meticulously trained and directly responsible to Li Longji, and they were extremely loyal.
Li Longji thought for a moment, and then asked about Wu Zhiyi's situation.
Expression guilty?
"Okay, go down, continue to monitor, report the situation immediately, and don't miss a single detail." Li Longji remained silent and asked the spy to retreat.
"Li Huaitang? Interesting. Perhaps, it's time for Wanqi to go through the experience. "In the middle of the night, Li Longji's faint words sounded in the empty Hanyuan Hall.
Li Huaitang was destined to be a busy man, walked out of the palace, just arrived at the Luo River, and met an old acquaintance, Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, at the bridgehead of Xinzhong Bridge.
"The general is not harmed? But let the old man wait for a long time. ”
Good things don't go out of the 'door', and bad things spread thousands of miles. Li Huaitang made a big fuss about Princess Xianyi's mansion for a long time, and the city was full of wind and rain streets, Li Yi rushed to wait for the news, and finally intercepted the target at the bridge.
Li Huaitang was stunned, embarrassed, the years were ruthless, compared with three years ago, Li Yi was even more haggard and old.
"Li Huaitang has seen General Wangye."
"Hehe, the general doesn't have to pretend to be serious, in that case, he will look down on the old man."
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "When I meet the prince, I can only accept my fate, and the small fortune I made a few days ago has to be broken again." ”
Li Yi laughed, "Forget it, the old man is not greedy for small money, if you want to calculate, you have to calculate the big one." Let's go, today the old man will wash the dust of the general, and he is not allowed to shirk! After speaking, he pulled Li Huaitang into the carriage and went straight to the south of the river.
The Luohe River runs east-west, dividing Luoyang City into two, and along the south of the Luohe River, the lively and prosperous wineries are lined up. Li Yi had already chosen one of them and set up a private room.
The private room is elegantly decorated and has a strong classical charm, giving people a sense of tranquility and indifference. The private room is divided into two, separated by a screen, and the inner room is a bath room.
Li Yi said: "The old man is not strong enough to drink, so I will replace the wine with tea today, and I hope the general will forgive me." ”
"It's rare to be a vassal with the prince once, and it's not bad to change to another mood." Li Huaitang looked around, and his eyes fell on the little lady who was waiting for the 'waiter' on the side, the little lady was dressed in light red, her demeanor was calm and decent, her appearance was dignified and beautiful, and she was as quiet as a virgin.
Li Yi smiled weirdly and invited Li Huaitang to take a seat.
"The old man is old, and the high-spirited spirit on the battlefield is no longer there, but there are more sad 'spring' and sad autumn. Every time I meditate here, I always feel that the edge was too 'exposed' back then, and I added a lot of trouble to myself for no reason. ”
Since the battle against the Khitan in Youzhou the year before last, Li Yi has been seriously ill since he came back, his physical condition is not good, and his mood has changed greatly.
While speaking, the little lady who was waiting on the side had poured fragrant hot tea.
Li Huaitang couldn't help but look at the little lady who poured the tea again, and thanked him with a smile, but he became the culprit of the crimson 'color' on the little lady's face.
"General, please have tea." Li Yi smiled faintly.
Li Huaitang raised his glass and sniffed it, tasted it and felt the meaning of sweetness and bitterness, and then drank it.
"What does the Admiral think?" Li Yi seemed to be smiling, and the slight upturned meaning of his mouth was unpredictable.
Li Huaitang looked at the tea-making lady again, and said, "The entrance is bitter first and then sweet, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant." It's a pity that I only know how to drink the sea and drink the cow, and I can't tell whether it is before the Ming Dynasty or after the rain, and I have failed the craftsmanship of the little lady. ”
"The general is modest, it is the Longjing of West Lake, picked before Qingming." Xiao Niang revealed the answer with a smile, and naturally poured another cup for Li Huaitang.
Li Yi didn't call for wine and food, and talked and laughed until a cup of tea was finished. During the period, of course, Li Huaitang's entire story of the Eastern Crusade was indispensable, when it came to the 'fine' color, Li Yi couldn't help but high-five, and the little lady's eyes were shining;
"The general is really heroic, and he looks like a few strong people, but it's a pity that the world knows little and his reputation is not good." Li Yi was moved. He fought for most of his life and made great achievements, but it was a pity that he was suppressed by political enemies, and many credits were deliberately erased, and he was not awarded much.
Li Huaitang disagreed: "Fame is like floating clouds." In the next ambition to strengthen Hu's wealth, more of the practical, fame can not support the beauties and sons in the mansion. ”
Hearing this, the tea-making lady was happy, her shoulders trembled, her hands shook, and the tea spilled all over the desk.
Li Yi smiled and said: "The general's 'sex' is open-minded, which is different from ordinary people, it seems that the old man's banquet is redundant." ”
Li Huaitang looked around the private room, and suddenly realized that in order to persuade himself, the prince could be described as scheming, not only taking his body as an example to talk about things, but also arranging a place for the situation.
"The prince can rest assured, he is not interested in the matter of competing for favor and inviting merit, and he will not be stupid in his heart."
"Well, the old man believes in the wisdom of the general. However, the old man felt that there was something very strange, when the general was fighting against the Khitan, Anluo and Anluo made a lot of noise, put all the halos of victory on the general's head, and spread it well, and worked against the strategy of the imperial court, so that the saint could not get off the stage, and then he was barely suppressed, but Long Yan was furious! ”
In order to suppress the unprovoked limelight of Ningyuan's iron cavalry, the imperial court did not hesitate to summon Wu Zhiyi and other soldiers to Chang'an, and solemnly celebrated the achievement, so that later An Lushan's arrest of the Xi general's trivia was also magnified several times of publicity, and the award given to An Lushan broke the boundary of the price limit, and the official position reported from the military department was promoted three levels in the hands of the emperor.
Li Huaitang glared, he had just heard about these things, there was no way, he was out on the expedition, and the news with the wind could not reach his ears.
Li Yi continued: "The people behind this matter have malicious intentions, and I am afraid that it has already had a bad impact on the Holy One. ”
"Adverse effects?" Li Huaitang frowned.
"Well, does the general know that the imperial court is ready to use troops against Bohai to recover the Andong Protectorate?"
Li Yi held the important position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Shuofang Jiedu, and the movements of the imperial court were naturally clear.
Li Huaitang looked at Li Yi puzzled, and suddenly realized, "What does the prince mean, I'll go?" ”
The Tang Dynasty is short of money and food, and it is obviously unrealistic to transfer troops from Guanzhong or Shuofang to conquer Liaodong, and Youzhou has suffered heavy losses in the first battle of Dushan, and it is barely passable to deal with the 'riot' harassment of the Khitan and Xi people, even if Zhang Shousi has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to light fires everywhere, otherwise Youzhou will not want it. Calculated by the method of elimination, the heavy task of conquering Liaodong is only suitable for the guest army Ningyuan Iron Cavalry.
Sure enough, Li Yi smiled bitterly.
Exorcise the wolf! Kill with a knife!
Two similar thoughts flashed through Li Huaitang's mind in a row. The suspicious gaze unintentionally fell on the tea-making lady, she seemed to be very concerned, looking at Li Yi'e with a frown.
Hey? How could the prince say the secret affairs of the court in front of a third party? Well, by the way, she must be the prince's favored 'servant' concubine.
"The Admiral has to plan for this." Li Yi reminded.
Li Huaitang nodded, and said positively: "The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." It is incumbent on Datang to recover his homeland. ”
"Haha, I'm afraid the general is thinking about the cattle and sheep 'girl' of the Bohai Kingdom again, right?" Li Yi quipped.
Li Huaitang laughed, and the tea-making lady also smiled.
"There is a detailed topographic map of Liaodong provided by Lord Lao, and preferably a sea chart."
"Nautical charts? Well, you can. It's just that guides are hard to find. Li Yi didn't know what Li Huaitang wanted the chart to do, but he still agreed.
"I have a guide, and many of the Khitan slaves were born in Goguryeo in Liaodong."
At this time, the hot water is brought in, and the dust washing can officially begin.
Li Yi glanced at the tea-making lady and motioned for her to avoid.
The little lady was stunned, poured another cup of tea for Li Huaitang, and then got up silently to leave. Li Huaitang heard a soft voice behind him: "Take care!", and when he looked back, Yiren had already bowed his head and left in a hurry, and he didn't know who the target of the advice was just now.
Li Yi sighed, retracted his gaze and continued to get down to business: "The general can see the loyal old man of the Tang Dynasty clearly, but the edge should not be too 'exposed', sweeping the Khitan battle, the general's soldiers are strong and strong, I am afraid that it has attracted the attention of the saint, plus someone deliberately stumbles, so there is a worry about this battle...... The two martial brothers are not worried, the general should pay attention to the yellow 'gate' and 'servant' Lang Li Linfu, this person is good at drilling camps, the city is very deep, and he often 'mixes' with the martial brothers, and it is estimated that he is the one who caused trouble to the general this time. ”
This is easy to understand, which emperor does not want the strength of his foreign ministers to be outrageous. Once there are such signs, they will definitely weaken the countermeasures by unscrupulous means, and driving the wolf and devouring the tiger is one of the most effective methods.
Needless to say, the demons who pushed the 'waves' to add fuel to the fire must be the martial brothers and Li Linfu, although Li Huaitang could guess it with his eyes closed, but he still thanked Li Yi for his kind reminder.
Li Yi said again: "This battle is dangerous, I will ask the Holy Lord to seconded Wang Zhonghei to accompany you." This son is not under the old man, and the general's route to the east was planned by him, but later there was a problem in the connection, and he should not be allowed to be the chief administrator of Bian Lingcheng......"
Li Huaitang suddenly realized, it turned out that the master was Wang Zhonghei! No wonder he is so familiar with the characteristics of Ning Yuan's iron ride.
Then, Li Yi and Li Huaitang 'interacted' a lot, especially how to avoid being in the limelight and recovering the image in the heart of the saint.
After finishing, Li Yi invited Li Huaitang to have a drink, the cup was empty, and asked with a smile: "What does the general think?" ”
"Good tea!"
"The old man is not talking about tea."
"What?"
"The man who makes tea."
"She? Well, not bad either. ”
Li Huaitang didn't know why, he looked at Li Yi suspiciously, and the more he looked at him, the more he looked like Tuogu, hiss? No way? Could it be that he knew that the destiny of heaven wanted to give me the concubine 'servant' who could not rest assured?
"Haha, that's good, that's good. Come on, 'wait' for the general to bathe and wash the dust! ”
Li Yi stroked his long beard and smiled happily.
In the Tang Dynasty, and even in all feudal dynasties, it was customary to give concubines 'servants' and maidservants 'women'. Li Yi is old, in case of death, the fate of his favored concubine 'servant' will not be much better, and there is a great chance of being sold by the original partner and falling into the dust. Perhaps for this reason, Li Yi began to plan for his beloved.
Li Huaitang was not without conjecture, that beautiful face inadvertently appeared in front of him, with a good figure, well, the 'buttocks' were cocked enough...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
