Yu's imperial study is located in the east of the Zichen Palace, originally it was a room of the same size for three books and classics, and the innermost one by the window is his study, the craftsman has been busy for a few days, and it was just used yesterday.

At this moment, the young emperor is standing in front of the window and staring out the window, maybe he has stayed in the Western Regions, Li Yu has a special interest in a large area of green, the position of the Zichen Hall is higher, he ordered someone to plant a forest outside the window of the study, from the study, the tall canopy is lush, a gust of wind blows, the trees shake, like a green wave undulating, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

But Li Yu's mood is quite heavy at the moment, the excitement and excitement of his first arrival in Dabao have gone, and what has precipitated is the crisis and the restraint of power that upset him.

An Lushan's rebellion, the spread of famine, the lack of troops, financial constraints, the poor connection of a large area of land in the East, and the fact that Tibet was hanging like a sword over his head, all of them made him extremely troubled, of course, the most intolerable thing for him was that Li Qing refused to abstain from power, as if it was an insurmountable wall in front of him, covering his view of the world, and also making the countless ambitions in his chest unable to be implemented.

"Li Qing, will you be Dong Zhuo's second?" Li Yu's fists couldn't help but clench quietly.

Li Mi stood behind him, silently looking at this young monarch, his blood and strength made the Tang Dynasty's twilight dynasty look new, so that the subjects of the Tang Dynasty saw hope, but this is also his biggest weakness, he can't bear it, when the power falls, patience and waiting is undoubtedly the best strategy. But a small move towards him this morning exposed his unwilling mentality, which caused a small crack in the relationship between him and Li Qing, although this crack seems inconspicuous, but in the thin layer of interest between them, it is undoubtedly shocking.

Li Yu came to the emperor as soon as he dispersed, he was Li Yu's teacher, and he had the privilege of entering and leaving the imperial study at will, but he did not disturb Li Yu's contemplation, but stood at the door of the study from afar. Giving him a chance to introspect, he found his fists clenched.

Li Yu's heart twitched, and he was keenly aware that Li Yu not only did not turn back, but went further down the wrong path, which was a dangerous sign.

"Your Majesty, if you want to win over others, you must first win yourself, if you can't bear the anger of the moment, how can you look down on the world in the future."

Li Mi's voice was not loud. But it happened to hit the knuckle, Li Yu was startled, his fist relaxed unconsciously, and he sighed softly, "Master, then how long do you want me to endure it?" ”

"When you don't have to endure it, you can naturally not bear it." Li Yu slowly walked behind Li Yu, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Do you know why Li Qing didn't follow An Lushan's example?" ”

Li Yu turned his head, with a hint of surprise on his face, he shook his head and said, "I don't know." Please teach me, master! ”

The two sat down. Li Mi stroked his beard lightly and smiled: "Li Qing does not follow An Lushan, this is actually what I admire him the most, with a clear mind and a long-term vision, as the saying goes, 'a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff', I have been a hundred years old in the Tang Dynasty." The first is the rule of Zhenguan. After the Kaiyuan Dynasty, it was prosperous. The country is strong and the people are rich, and no one can compare. Although the national strength of Tianbao gradually weakened, it was not to the extent of the chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty, especially the hearts of the scholars to the Tang Dynasty, which ensured that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was not bad, Li Qing saw this, so he did not follow the stupid man of An Lushan and conspired against him, but was willing to be the prime minister, Your Majesty, at this time Li Qing's prestige among the people is far higher than you! ”

"But he's so far-sighted, doesn't the master think he's even more terrifying?" Li Yu is still frowning, although he is ambitious and wants to do something big, but as a king, his first consideration is his own throne, and only under the premise that the throne is stable, he can make great achievements.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry," Li Mi waved his hand slightly, he bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "The key is the general trend, as long as Your Majesty grasps the general trend, even if he is far-sighted, he will not be able to do anything." ”

"The general trend?" Li Yu's eyes gradually lit up, he hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Yushen, and said sincerely: "What is the general trend, please teach me master!" ”

Li Mi chuckled, "The so-called general trend is the power group that supports the Tang Emperor, hasn't Your Majesty noticed that what Li Qing has done is getting farther and farther away from this group?" ”

Li Yu's eyes showed a sudden look, and he let out a long breath, he has this master, he is really fortunate to have three lives!

"Master, what should we do now?" Li Yu seemed to have returned to his student days, looking at Li Yu respectfully.

Li Mi smiled slightly, "Don't do anything now, let Li Qingshi do it!" ”

"But. . . Is it laid out?

"Your Majesty!" Li Mi interrupted him without hesitation, "You have to endure it now!" Whether it is a year or five years, now An Lushan occupies Luoyang, and the trapped beasts are still fighting, if there is civil strife in the imperial court now, give An Lushan a chance to breathe, how difficult it will be for Datang! This is also Li Qing's real intention to support you and not Yongwang, Li Qing has this heart and vision, how can Your Majesty lose to him? ”

Li Mi saw him bow his head and remain silent, knowing his own land

When he said it was serious, he slowed down his tone and comforted him in a low voice: "Actually, Your Majesty has been for a long time, and when the An Lushan Rebellion is calmed down, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's army will enter Beijing, and Your Majesty's opportunity will come." ”.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiangguo and Wei Shangshu are here, and now they are waiting to see you outside the palace." A eunuch whispered at the door.

Li Yu was physically and mentally happy at this time, with a relaxed smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Announce their promotion!" ”

"Your Majesty! The minister took his leave first. As soon as Li Yu got up, Li Yu grabbed him and said with a slight smile: "Master, please participate in state affairs together." ”

Let's say that Li Qing and Wei Jiansu walked from Hanyuan Palace, and walked to the front of Zichen Palace, and some guards hurriedly went in to report, because the Yulin Army was scattered, Li Qing specially drew 2,000 people from the Anxi Army as the Yulin Army, and ordered Lifei Yuanli to be the right middle general of the Yulin Army, and ordered Xin Yunjing, the general he got from Hexi, to be the left middle Lang general of the Yulin Army, and he led the general of the Yulin Army, so that he controlled the entire imperial city and the palace city.

After waiting for a while, he saw several little eunuchs walking leisurely with a big eunuch in his arms, Li Qing saw that this person was obese, pale, and his demeanor was frivolous when he walked, and his demeanor was quite arrogant, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart: "Could it be that this is the second Gaolishi who has been rumored in the palace recently?" ’

In his later years, Li Longji used a number of eunuchs, such as Gao Lishi, Yu Chaoen, Bian Lingcheng, Cheng Zhenyuan, and Li Jingzhong; To this day, these people are dead and hidden, and in the end, there is still one Bian Lingcheng left, who was also sent by Li Longji to supervise the army in Hedong.

After Li Yu ascended the throne, he also appointed a chief of the inner palace, named Ma Yingjun, he was also a powerful eunuch in the palace, and was squeezed out by Yu Chaoen and degraded to serve Li Yu.

This person is clean and neat, very good at observing appearances, Gu Shen has won Li Yu's trust, and the people in the palace also privately call him the second Gaolishi, he is not taboo, but complacent.

However, his arrogance was only limited to the stone steps of the Zichen Palace, and when he stepped down the stone steps, the arrogance on his face immediately disappeared without a trace, and then he changed into a flattering smile, and it was Li Qing who stood at the bottom of the steps, who was the one who could take his head at any time.

"Xiangguo, Your Majesty is invited!" He changed the 'summons' to 'please' without authorization, and his body was only around Li Qing's waist, although Li Qing had the heart to talk to him for a few words, but Wei Jiansu was present, he didn't say much, so he nodded slightly, and said lightly: "You lead the way in front!" ”

Ma Yingjun hurriedly turned around to lead the way, he was still bent over, like a frightened big meat worm, walking forward, seeing Wei Jiansu's itchy teeth, eager to kick him from behind.

He couldn't hold back any longer, so he whispered to Li Qing: "Xiangguo, a lesson from the previous dynasty, we should persuade Your Majesty to stay away from the inner servants!" ”

Li Qing smiled and didn't answer, he saw Ma Yingjun's ears move twice, and then straightened up, so he smiled slightly and said: "This is Your Majesty's family matter, I don't have to ask, but if Bian Ling Cheng comes back, it will be difficult to arrange." ”

Wei Jiansu was stunned, he just wanted to refute, but Ma Yingjun in front of him had already stopped, his eyes narrowed into a slit and said to Li Qing: "Xiangguo, please come in!" ”

Li Qing glanced at him meaningfully, and strode into the imperial study, but Wei Jiansu snorted heavily at him, and followed Li Qing in, only to wait for the two of them to disappear, Ma Yingjun thoughtfully recalled Li Qing's words and eyes, and a trace of realization gradually flashed in his eyes.

Li Qing entered Li Yu's study for the first time, compared with Li Longji's study, it can only be described in two words, 'simple', the four walls are painted snow-white, there are several rows of bookshelves, there is an ordinary embroidered curtain hanging on the window, there is no copper furnace fragrance, it is the height of summer, and there is no ice in the interlayer to go to the heat, the room is very hot, of course, this is also a posture that Li Yu wants to put on: diligent and simple.

But Li Qing noticed a word hanging on his head: 'The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen', which is the famous sentence of Taizong written by Li Heng when he said goodbye to Longyou, and it was to warn his son to trust Li Qing at that time, but at this time, the meaning seems to have changed a little.

Seeing Li Qing coming in, Li Yu hurriedly stood up and arched his hand slightly to him, Li Qing also nodded with a smile, and then bowed to Li Yu and said, "Minister Li Qing see Your Majesty!" ”

Wei Jiansu also bowed behind Li Qing and saluted, "Minister Wei Jiansu see Your Majesty!" ”

"Xiangguo is exempt, please take a seat!" Li Yu smiled at Wei Jiansu and Li Mi again: "Everyone is an important minister, please relax when you come to me." ”

The three of them smiled and each found a seat to sit, and Li Yu said to Li Qing: "Xiangguo, there is still a matter of recruiting troops in the early dynasty, I don't want to delay it until tomorrow, so I asked Xiangguo and Wei Shangshu to discuss this matter, delaying Xiangguo's lunch break, don't blame!" ”

Li Qing's corner of his eyes glanced at Li Mi, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty is a diligent king, how dare Li Qing be lazy, it's just that the matter of recruiting troops is related to the household department, please Your Majesty also summon the Fifth Shangshu!" ”
