Chapter 258: Before the Storm
He reported his judgment to Li Shigu in an urgent secret document, asking for instructions.
Li Shigu replied with four words: homeopathy.
Li Mao then summoned Lin Ying and Qin Zaomian, showed Li Shigu's reply to the two, and asked, "The festival commander wants us to take advantage of the situation, how to interpret this?" ”
Qin Zaomian said: "Stand on the side of the winner to prove loyalty." ”
Li Mao said: "Who is the winner?" ”
Qin Zaimian said: "People can't win the sky, naturally there is the side of the sky." ”
Li Mao nodded and said, "Reasonable." So he summoned all the governors in Beijing and the subordinates of the shogunate and carefully admonished them.
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Mao was hidden.
During this period, Li Jie came to Li Mao several times, but he returned in vain.
In the past few days, Li Mao has traveled all over Jingxi non-stop and met with all nine leaders in Jingxi. In Fengxiang Mansion, he and Fengxiang led Qiu Kangzong to talk all night, and as soon as it was dawn on the second day, Qiu Kangzong secretly took his seventy-three righteous brothers to Chang'an. Fengxiang Du Lingqiu Kangzong was originally a horse bandit, and is still active in the Tang and Tibetan borders as a horse bandit, and the size of the horse bandit he mastered was three shares, with a total of more than 1,000 people, and he was famous in the western part of Beijing.
This time, although there were only seventy-three people he brought into Chang'an City on Li Mao's orders, they were all elite men who had survived a hundred battles.
Li Mao spent another day in Fengxiang Mansion before returning to Beijing.
On the way back to Chang'an, Qingmo finally couldn't help but ask: "Why did you come to the parade, do you still want to rebel?" Li Mao said: "If you are rebellious, you have to say it again, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”
Qingmo said: "There are only three people here, heaven and earth and you and me, where does this disaster come from?" The Son of Heaven wanted to poison the crown prince Lishu King Li Yi, which is a well-known thing. Who doesn't know your friendship with King Yun'an and King Guangling? If Li Yi, the king of Shu, ascends to the throne, we will have to get out of the way, if we don't want to get out of here so soon, we have to gamble. Am I right? ”
Mo Qi Shen Channel: "For a mallet, the abolition of the Son of Heaven is a royal family matter, how can there be a foreign minister's beak?" ”
Qingmo stopped scolding after a meal, but he was very unconvinced.
Outside the Yanping Gate, there is a young man in Tsing Yi waiting on the side of the road, his eyes have been staring at the pedestrians on the road since the city gate was opened, and he was tired of standing for a day with back pain, his eyes were swollen, and when he was slandering in his heart, suddenly his eyes lit up, and three people appeared.
He hurriedly took out a picture from his arms, carefully compared the portrait on the picture with the person who came, and said happily: "That's right, it's them." ”
The little guy hurriedly stepped forward, bowed at the comer, and said, "Is it Li Maohua from Caozhou?" After getting the confirmation of the visitor, the little maid said politely: "My master is invited." ”
The man on the left asked, "Who is the master of your house?" ”
The little servant did not answer, but only offered a folding fan with a poem inscribed on it.
Down-and-out rivers and lakes carrying wine,
Chu's waist is slender and his palm is light.
Ten years of Xijing dream,
Won the name of Qinglou Bo Xing.
This poem is Li Mao's impromptu "made" when he drank and feasted in Li Jie's mansion in the past, the poem was completed, the audience was shocked, the words of praise were like the waves of water, and the shy Li Mao was red-faced, so he had to pretend that he was drunk and listened to a scholar chanting, remembered it in his heart, and wrote it to the next generation, as for the name of the scholar, because Du Mu had not yet been born at this moment, Li Mao said that it was a person surnamed Du, as for the name, he was drunk that day, and he really couldn't remember.
Li Mao explained it like this, but the more he described it, the darker it became, and everyone didn't believe it.
On the second day, the king of Guangling sent someone to ask Li Mao for a poem, but Li Mao couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to inscribe the poem on a folding fan and give it to Li Chun.
The owner of the Tsing Yi guy is Li Chun, the owner of the folding fan.
Li Chun was dressed in a green robe, dressed as an ordinary scholar, and Li Wei, the king of Yangchuan who walked with him, was dressed in a Taoist robe. Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and the princes and grandsons are also indifferent when they wear casual clothes.
Seeing that there was something important to talk about, Qingmo was on guard with Mo Qi's magical powers, and the little guy in Tsing Yi also retreated with interest after serving tea.
Li Chun said: "In the past few days since Maohua left Beijing, a major event has happened in Beijing, do you know. ”
Li Mao said: "The prince was plotted by someone and lost his voice after being poisoned. ”
Li Chun said: "If you help the prince ascend the throne, glory and wealth are just around the corner." ”
Li Mao said: "The glory and wealth of one person is really nothing. ”
Li Wei said: "If you help us foil the traitor's scheme, Ziqing can maintain the status quo in the future." ”
Li Mao said: "The king repeats again, the wind is strong, I didn't listen to the truth." ”
Li Wei glanced at him and had to swallow his anger and say it again.
Li Mao said: "Having said that, what does the king use as a guarantee." ”
Li Weihuo stood up and said sharply: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”
Li Mao smiled silently.
Li Chun pressed his brother down and said: "If it goes well, Wang Shuwen should be the prime minister, Ziqing will live up to the court, and the court will not live up to Ziqing." ”
Li Mao said: "Li Shidao, the assassin of Mizhou, wants to be the deputy envoy of Ziqing Festival, how will His Highness deal with it?" ”
Li Chun said: "That's Ziqing's family matter, and the court won't ask about it." ”
Li Mao said: "Han Hong has repeatedly violated the border, and this person must be replaced." ”
Li Chun said: "It's not urgent, you can be replaced after three years." ”
Li Mao said: "Your Highness also got a codex, written in black and white, and did not use troops in Heshuo when he was in power." ”
Li Wei stood up and shouted: "Li Mao, you deceive people too much. ”
Qingmo, Mo Qi, and Li Chun, Li Wei's personal guards, who were guarding outside the door, broke in together.
Li Chun blasted everyone out and said unhurriedly: "My Royal Highness can swear to the sky." ”
Li Mao nodded and said, "How does the king want me to contribute to the imperial court." ”
Li Chun said: "I want to use your ears and eyes." ”
Li Mao smiled: "Don't use my minions?" ”
Li Chun smiled and said: "In the matter of the palace, it is inconvenient for you as a foreign minister to interfere. ”
Li Mao smiled: "Be prepared." ”
Li Chun pondered and said, "That's fine." ”
After the winter, the undercurrent in Chang'an City surged, after the crown prince lost his voice, the status suddenly became delicate, and the body of the Son of Heaven was not as good as one day, and suddenly one day, China and foreign countries were isolated, and the torrents in Chang'an City were surging, and all forces stepped up their activities.
Ziqing's residence in Shangdu Jinyuan is busier than ever, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, and it takes a lot of energy to identify the authenticity.
During this period, as the supreme leader of the Zi Bronze Tiger Head in Chang'an, Li Mao was more idle than ever.
Since being demoted, Li Mao moved out of the concert hall and lived in Zheng Zhuzhu's house in Pingkangli. When the gold lord came, Zheng Zhuzhu was flattered by the spirit, she closed the door to thank the guests, and served Li Mao alone.
These days, Li Mao invited a group of friends to drink and have fun here all day long, all night long, endlessly.
Zheng Zhuzhu was puzzled, although Li Mao was dismissed, the power in her hands did not decrease but increased, even outsiders like her often heard Li Mao's name.
Now that the entire Chang'an City is about to boil, he has changed his sex, or has he lost his power, and he can be so peaceful.
Zheng Zhuzhu didn't understand, and she knew that there were disadvantages and disadvantages of being too involved in these things, so she pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't ask. (Dissertation College)
