Li Mao shook his head helplessly, Tutu Chengxuan said that he was completely innocent, in fact, it did not conform to the truth, Li Chun indulged in the room technique, wanted to use the power of double cultivation to live forever, eternal bliss, to be a courtier to see the right time, competing to flatter, Tutu Chengxuan introduced a Taoist priest named Liu Yu to the emperor, won the emperor's love, unfortunately Liu Yu was later dug up by Wang Shoucheng, changed the court and became Wang Shoucheng's confidant, often helped Wang Shoucheng speak. rainbow

This made Tu Tu Chenghuang very unwilling, so he turned against him and began to slander Liu Mi in front of the emperor, but Liu Mi had already succeeded, and it was not something he could shake in a few words, which made him angry. When people talk about their grievances, over time, it makes people believe that he has no direct interest in Liu Mi, and this person is actually with Wang Shoucheng.

Compared with Tutu Chengxuan, Li Chun used and guarded against Wang Shoucheng, Wang Shoucheng should not know the fact that Li Chunye had run out of oil, otherwise he should immediately draw a line with Liu Yu: once the emperor dies violently, such warlocks will inevitably become scapegoats, and those officials who are too close to them will inevitably be affected.

"Two years ago, everyone fainted during sex with Jing Concubine, and only woke up after a cup of tea, Jing Concubine is a responsible person, restrained the left and right, and the matter was not leaked. Everyone couldn't trust Wang Shoucheng, so they recalled me. In the past two years, his old man fainted every now and then, and the longest time he had a stick of incense scared me to the point of sweating. After the autumn, the imperial court used troops against Huaixi, and his old family was anxious, coughing up blood almost once a day, and he was already in a coma three times in less than half a month. ”

Li Mao's heart was shocked, the war in Huaixi had just begun, if Li Chun couldn't hold it and fell, then at least half of the sky in the Tang Dynasty would collapse, and the prince's weak shoulders could bear the remaining half of the sky

Li Mao stood up, paced around the room, and suddenly Tu Chengguang revealed such confidential information to him without reservation, obviously to sincerely seek refuge in him, and he no longer shied away from some words: "The number of qi is exhausted, everything is in the will of heaven, we ordinary people can only follow the will of heaven, and cannot move against the sky." Sure enough, there will be a day, whether it is Liaodong or Youzhou, the door will be open for you at any time. ”

Suddenly vomited Chenghuang and left his seat, and wanted to kneel down again in tears, Li Mao said: "The friendship between you and me doesn't have to be like this. The only thing I'm worried about now is how you'll get out of Chang'an if something happens. ”

Tu Tu Chengxuan wiped his face fiercely with his sleeve and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I have been in the Forbidden Palace for most of my life, this little thing is not difficult for me, in fact, it is not to that extent." As long as you are willing to speak up and support me, they will not dare to do anything to me. ”

Li Mao laughed, shook his head and said: "You can't help but exalt me too much, I am far away in Youzhou, how to protect you I have arranged two roads for you, but you yourself should also be careful, once something happens, withdraw immediately, don't care about anything, people are the right way to go." ”

With Li Mao's assurance, Tutu Chengguang was reassured, and as soon as his spirit relaxed, his face improved.

But when asked Li Mao about his true evaluation of the war in Huaixi, Li Mao said: "If everyone can survive this hurdle, my Datang will be able to survive this hurdle." Tutu Chengxuan gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, I will help Your Majesty survive this hurdle." ”

Three days later, Li Chun issued an edict to remove Han Hong, with Pei Du as the envoy of Caizhou on all sides, Li Yu as the envoy of Tang Deng Jiedu, Sima of the camp, soldiers and horses, and led 150,000 troops from all walks of life to attack Caizhou.

After listening to Zhao Jinglai's report, Li Shidao also gave up the idea of continuing to work in Luoyang, and instead sent troops to Shouzhou, under the name of helping to suppress Huaixi, which was actually to cut off the grain route from Huainan and Jiangnan to the front line.

These things are still tangled, but Li Mao has no intention of staying in Luoyang anymore.

One day left Luoyang to cross the Yellow River and enter the territory of Weibo, Wei Bo Jiedu envoy Tian Huai sent Li Mao's old acquaintance, the former Wei Bo Town stationed in Shangdu Jinyuan Master Tian Ciling rushed to the border to greet him, the etiquette was solemn and very thoughtful.

Li Mao and Tian Ciling quipped: "The day before yesterday, I asked you to go to Youzhou as an envoy, why don't you go?"

Tian Ciling said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, who doesn't want to go, I have no choice, I want to avoid suspicion." ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "If there is a suspicion, it can be anywhere, but it is only when you go to Youzhou, if you come to pick me up today, no one will talk behind your back."

Tian Ciling said: "Wake up the dreamer with a word, and when I go back, I will ask Ying to stay in Youzhou, and in the future I will live under the command of the king, but I am also very at ease." ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "One of the great benefits of contemptible people is to miss the old, the clothes are new, the people are the old people's relatives, Ma Hedong openly raised troops against me, I didn't treat him well, a good friend for many years, I can't think of doing stupid things for a while, can I not give him a way to live, although he has lost his free body now, but he also lives a good life, which is better than our hard work." ”

Tian Ciling didn't know Ma Hedong, but he had heard of his name, and he felt for a while: "There are many troubles in the world that can be avoided, if everyone can strictly abide by a rule, fight hard when fighting, do their best, and if they lose the battle, they will retreat, admit defeat, accept their fate, and stop messing around." Those who win the fight give people a way to live, don't rush to kill them all. The world can stop a lot. For example, if you have money, you can play, if you don't have money, you can get out, as long as you don't do it, it's easy to come and go, and if you don't have money, you can still pay for the journey, and everyone can see the rules there. Let's do this well, there are no rules, the winner eats all, and the loser is eaten by the scum, so when you go to the road, you can only go to the black, stalking, you live and die, there is no you without me. ”

Li Mao said with a smile: "No rules is the biggest rule, and it is precisely because there are no rules that this game is loved by the strong." ”

Tian Ciling arched his hand and said loudly: "This is a game played by your strong people, we people are willing to bow to the wind, just hope to have something to eat, and Bo will be satisfied with his wife and shadow." ”

Tian Huaiji personally went out of the city to greet Li Mao, less than a year after the pro-government, Tian Huaiji has been reborn, although he is still immature, but it is foreseeable that as long as he is given a little time, today's seedlings will grow into tomorrow's towering trees.

It's just that he has this opportunity

Li Mao glanced at Tian Rong, a tall veteran with a white beard and hair, who was standing in the front row of the crowd, and Jiang Shize, who was in his hands, fat and fat, and had cold eyes.

He is not optimistic.

This seedling is very likely to die halfway through, and it will not die well.

After being released from house arrest, Mrs. Liang Guo did not move back to the garden where she used to live, but fell in love with the Taoist temple where she was imprisoned.

After Tian Huaiji, Tian Rong, Jiang Shize and others had a banquet for Li Mao, she also set up a vegetarian banquet here and asked Li Mao to do so.

Mrs. Liang Guo, Li Mao has been famous for a long time.

Li Mao, Mrs. Liang Guo also wanted to meet each other.

Although it was the first time for the two to meet, they seemed to have a fate in their previous lives, smiling and greeting, with a relaxed posture, and the words were very smooth, and they would soon be able to talk casually like friends.

The old lady's legs and feet had improved, and she accompanied Li Mao to take a turn in the view, and came to the water pavilion in the back garden, where the refreshments in the pavilion were complete, but neither of them sat down.

The old lady explained to Li Mao the causes and consequences of Tian Xing's murder and expressed regret for what happened to Tian Xing.

"We used the wrong person, Wu Jishen's kid is still too impatient."

Li Mao said: "There was no one available for you except him that day. ”

Mrs. Liang Guo laughed and invited Li Mao to take a seat. Holding the tea in his hand, he said: "Thirty years, the old body does not touch the wine, and today I made an exception." ”

Li Mao thanked him and drank a glass of vegetarian wine.

The old lady said: "Tian Qian is my good grandson, our mother has been fighting for 20 years, you don't believe it, she fought with me when she was six or seven years old, and she fought for a lifetime, nothing more than who is in charge, no one has ever thought of harming each other's lives, such an ending I never expected, Tian's descendants infighting, framed by outsiders, my heart is painful." ”

Li Mao said: "She is very good in Youzhou, I have asked for her to be crowned, hoping to give her a name." ”

The old lady toasted again and drank it all.

Talking about the war in Huaixi, the old lady asked Li Mao when it would end, and Li Mao replied that it could be ended within the year.

The old lady didn't speak, but asked Huaixi Ruoping, who was next, Li Mao turned his head and looked at the southwest. The old lady understood what Li Mao meant, but sighed: "Qilu is a good country, it's a pity." ”

asked Li Mao how the three towns of Hebei would stand on their own if Ziqing was subdued by the imperial court, Li Mao said: "Those who are courtiers can keep their duties, why not be afraid of thunder." ”

The old lady said: "If you can fall safely, it's okay, I'm afraid that the tree will not stop quieting." Some people are unwilling to give up in order to make great achievements, and some people are unwilling to give up in order to get ahead, once there is a gap, it is inevitable that people will take advantage of it. ”

Li Mao said: "If you don't understand this truth, he is not worthy of being handsome in Hebei." ”

The old lady's eyes were like a cone: "This is really your sincere words"

Li Mao asked her rhetorically: "Wei Zhou has been self-reliant for 50 years, why is the Tian family unwilling to dedicate its territory to the imperial court, Tian Xing supports the army and respects himself, and has never deposed Tian Huaizhi and stands on his own, why do you want to harm him." ”

The old lady's eyebrows and eyes were sunken with a smile, and she held her glass and said, "A word is a certainty." ”

On the occasion of parting, Li Mao reminded her of the special status that Jiang Shize had in the military government: "The eagle strikes the sky, flies high, sees far, and looks down on the turtle wriggling in the soil. ”

Mrs. Liang Guo thanked Li Mao for her kindness, Li Mao was reminding her to pay attention to Jiang Shize, which should be sincere.
