Chapter 1025: Concealment
(Xie: Dongguo Qibai, 364697943, 100 possible three brothers tips and tickets.) )
When Li Heng heard this, he was overjoyed, and he almost knelt down to kowtow to Wang Yuan. That's the greatest gift ever. Of course, Li Heng knew the quality of the 40,000 soldiers and horses he was training now. Of the 40,000 soldiers and horses, only 3,000 were based on the Shence Army given by Wang Yuan, and the rest were all raised by the homeless people. Although they have been trained for four or five months, the real elite cannot be trained by training, and they can only be achieved by going to the battlefield to experience it. Now the 20,000 captives given by Wang Yuan are elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles. After all, their arrival has increased the combat power of the entire soldiers and horses several times, which is tantamount to a timely rain.
"I will order Li Mi and Song Jiangong to give you another 30,000 sets of armor and blades, and 5,000 war horses. That's the limit of what I can do for you. Go back and wait for Song Jiangong's infantry and prisoners to arrive, and you can take them with you. Wang Yuan said.
Li Heng finally weakened his knees and fell to his knees. Although I knew that this move was inconsistent with the etiquette system, not kneeling was not enough to express my heart, so I knelt and knelt.
"Thank you Xiangguo, thank you Xiangguo. I'll just say that Sangkook won't sit idly by. Rest assured, no matter who of us makes that throne in the future, we will respect you as the pillar ......of the imperial court and respect you."
Wang Yuan smiled and helped Li Heng up and said, "Lord Feng, aren't you tormenting me like this?" I'm not here for the future. I just hope that Datang can have a righteous emperor, the world will be restored to peace and prosperity as soon as possible, and Datang will return to its former prosperity as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, yes, with these 20,000 soldiers and horses, we can compete with Li Mao." Li Heng got up and said with a smile.
Wang Yuan frowned and said: "Don't worry, I need to find a reason for sending troops to fight back, and you need a reason to send troops even more." ”
"But, soon, he is going to issue an order for us to disband, how can we wait?" Li Heng frowned.
Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will find a reason for you to send troops, and it will be soon." If Li Mao gives an order for you to disband the soldiers and horses, it will take a month or two to decide. Until then, there will be a reason for this. If you will listen to me, do what I say. If you insist on going your own way, you will suffer losses in the future and have no way out, but don't come to me, don't blame me for being unpredictable. ”
Li Heng heard what Wang Yuan said, and seemed to have a plan, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "Since Xiangguo said so, how can I go against Xiangguo's intentions." We waited for Xiangguo to find a reason for us to send troops. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and nodded, "That's right." Be patient, you won't lose. It's a lot of grinding. ”
Li Heng even claimed that it was, and the two chatted a few more words, and Li Heng also knew that a large number of people were waiting to see Wang Yuan, so he took the initiative to leave without waiting for Wang Yuan to serve tea to the guests. Wang Yuan looked at his departing back and sneered.
Wei Jiansu and Yan Zhenqing came together soon after. After taking a seat, Yan Zhenqing first complained that Wang Yuan would not go to see the Emperor Taishang after he came back, after all, the Emperor Taishang was still in Chengdu, and it would be rude not to see him, so Yan Zhenqing came to ask Wang Yuan to go to Sanhualou to see His Majesty.
Wang Yuan immediately blamed himself, got up and said: "The two of you are here because of this matter, and I am also about to go to see the Emperor, so let's not delay, let's go now, right?" ”
Wei Jiansu and Yan Zhenqing looked at each other and sat still. Wang Yuan was surprised: "What's wrong with the two of you?" ”
Wei Jiansu didn't speak, Yan Zhenqing said: "Xiangguo, the two of us are here to ask Xiangguo, what does Xiangguo think about the placement of the Emperor?" ”
Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" I didn't understand it too much. ”
Yan Zhenqing said: "Let's tell Xiangguo the truth, the Emperor Taishang was very happy to learn that the rebels were pacified, and on the day the news arrived, he called the two of us to drink." During the conversation, he said that Xiangguo would definitely send him back to Chang'an after he returned, and he just wanted to stay in Chengdu now, Chengdu's climate is suitable for recuperation, so the emperor hopes that we will not send him back to Chang'an. ”
Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and sneered in his heart. Xuanzong was old and spicy after all, and he actually guessed what he was going to do in advance. And his intentions are naturally clear. Xuanzong stayed in the scattered flower building every day and meditated, and he should have gained insight into the current situation.
"Xiangguo, what is your opinion?" Yan Zhenqing asked.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "The Emperor is really right, I haven't come back yet, how did he know that I would suggest sending him back to Beijing?" I'd like to hear from both of you. ”
Yan Zhenqing said: "My opinion is to respect the mind of the Emperor, since the Emperor is unwilling to return to Chang'an, then let his old man live in Chengdu." ”
Wang Yuan turned to Wei Jiansu and said, "What about Wei Zuoxiang's opinion?" ”
Wei Jiansu smacked his lips and said, "I listened to Xiangguo, what did Xiangguo say?" ”
Yan Zhenqing was stunned and said: "Zuo Xiang, you didn't say that in front of Your Majesty, why did you change your hexagram?" ”
Wei Jiansu stroked his beard and said, "Yan Pingzhang, you have too much to worry about. This matter must be decided by the country. Did the Emperor Taishang say that if he stayed in Chengdu, he would stay in Chengdu? This is not in line with the etiquette system. Now that the rebellion has been put down, the Emperor Taishang should return to Chang'an and live in the palace for the rest of his life. You say, what is it to stay in Chengdu? The emperor has returned to Chang'an, the people's hearts have been decided, and all civil and military officials can also go back to the capital, otherwise this mess in the east and a mess in the west will not be in accordance with the rules. ”
Yan Zhenqing frowned deeply and was silent.
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't argue with the two. How about we go to see Your Majesty first and discuss this matter later? ”
……
In the scattered flower building in Dongcheng, the sun shines all over the courtyard. Under the sun, the flowers and trees are luxuriant and vibrant, the rockery pavilions are still the same, the water of the moon viewing pond is still green and clear, and the scenery around the entire scattered flower building is as beautiful as before. However, at this time, the courtyard in front and back of the scattered flower building always gives people a feeling of loneliness, emptiness and desertion.
In the past, even if it was located here, the courtyard of the Sanhualou was also very lively. The maids of the palace come and go, the civil and military officials are also endless, the royal relatives, the princes and princesses are also constantly coming and going. And now, it's all gone. In the lonely courtyard, occasionally a few sweeping chamberlains and palace maids appear in the rockery cloister among the flowers and trees, in addition, there is only the sound of the wind blowing the flowers and trees and the chirping of birds and birds that peck on the ground unscrupulously.
Li Longji sat beside a blooming peony flower bed, staring at the fat and delicate flowers with his old and godless eyes. This clump of peony flowers was brought by someone from the capital in the first month and transplanted in this flower bed under the scattered flowers. At that time, Chang'an had just been recovered, and a person came to Chengdu with a letter and this clump of peony flowers, and handed over these things to Li Longji.
Li Longji will never forget the content of that letter, which is the handwritten letter of his son, His Majesty Li Mao of the Tang Dynasty. Li Mao's letter contained these few words.
“…… The retainer lived up to his father's expectations, and the retainer recaptured the capital. From then on, Erchen would never let the capital fall into the hands of others. My father is in Chengdu, and he must be happy for his son when he hears this news. Erchen knew that his father must also hope to return to the capital as soon as possible to retire. But at this time, it was cold and freezing, and it was not suitable to welcome my father back to Beijing. In addition, the rebels have not yet been wiped out, and there is a fear of war in Chang'an, and it is not peaceful. Therefore, the sons and daughters could not let their father suffer from the cold and cold, nor could they allow their father's safety to be threatened in any way, so they could not take their father back to Beijing for the time being. In order to relieve the pain of his father's lovesickness, Erchen specially ordered someone to dig a peony from the side of the Agarwood Pavilion in the Hundred Gardens of Xingqing Palace and send it to Chengdu for his father to plant. Although after the fire, but the garden of agarwood pavilion has not been damaged, the flowers planted in the past are also luxuriant, the son of the minister dug this is the father of the emperor planted the book of 'rich and noble ten thousand years'. My father liked this peony the most, and my son gave it to my father to plant in Chengdu, so that my father could enjoy peonies in Chengdu with peace of mind, and talk about the meaning of thinking about Beijing......"
These few words in Li Mao's letter, Xuanzong can almost memorize them. That's because in the past few months, Xuanzong has read it I don't know how many times, and I don't know how many times I have touched it. This filial piety letter is full of humility and reverence, full of gratitude and filial piety. However, in Li Longji's view, under the surface of this letter, Li Mao has conveyed a subtle reminder to himself.
dug up the peony flower that he planted with his own hands and sent it to Chengdu, which is not filial piety, it is a hint. It was Li Mao vaguely telling herself that she didn't want to return to the capital. That peony flower took root in Chengdu, and his last time was to be spent in Chengdu. None of the reasons Li Mao said can be established, the so-called suffering of wind and cold, what is it? When he left the capital and fled to Shudi, it was when the snow was falling and it was extremely cold, and he didn't do much. The so-called unsafe capital is even more nonsense, Li Mao can stay in Chang'an as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can it not be safe? All this is just Li Mao's excuse.
