Body 774 The Land of Bashu
The royal long guard of honor stopped at the gate of Chang'an City after crossing the Baqiao, and Bai Chun followed Yang Wu and Lian Tie, watching Hua Ji hurriedly come over, and knew what was going on.
So when Hua Ji finished speaking, Bai Chun followed Hua Ji and hurriedly drove towards Li Zhi's car, and Yang Wu and Lian Tie hurriedly turned their carriage around, preparing to return to Chang'an City with the honor guard.
Now, whether it is Li Zhi's royal car or Wu Mei's phoenix car, it is much more luxurious than the original one made by Li Hong, and the whole carriage is like a big moving house.
In addition, the official roads of Chang'an have always been flat and wide, so Li Zhi's royal drive to the vicinity of Chang'an has no problem at all.
The three steps were lowered the moment the carriage opened, and Bai Chun stepped on the steps and slowly walked into the carriage.
The first entry is already a thick carpet spread under the feet, the two palace maids on the inside are standing not far away, the incense burner on the desk is burning with a very elegant fragrance, plus the faint smell of perfume in the carriage, compared with the coolness and natural fragrance of the early spring outside, there is a little more inexplicable enjoyment of the taste.
"The slave Bai Chun has seen His Majesty and the Queen." Under the guidance of Wang Lou, Bai Chun stepped over the first entry in the carriage and came to the middle carriage.
A large desk came into view, and next to it were two sofas, one of which was sitting there by Wu Mei, smiling as she walked in.
The flower arrangement in the vase, the calligraphy and paintings on the four walls of the carriage, and some small ornaments around it all show the extraordinariness and nobility of this carriage everywhere.
Li Zhi looked at Bai Chun's respectful appearance, and replied with a mum in his nostrils.
Wu Mei smiled and patted the sofa next to her, motioning for Bai Chun to sit down next to her.
"Did you know when Li Hong left?" Li Zhi had a dark face, and when he thought that he would have to go to court tomorrow when he went back today, he felt that his brain hurt.
In Li Lingyue's words: "Father, how do you feel the mood of your sons in the court, just like the mood of your sons when they went to study in the country when they were children?" Described as a ...... by the royal brother. ”
"Your imperial brother can't spit out ivory, what else can he say."
"But what the imperial brother said is very right, it is very appropriate to describe the mood of the sons at that time."
"How?"
"The mood of saying that Erchen went to Guozijian to study is as heavy as the mood of the people of Chang'an when they go to the grave during the Qingming Festival."
"I went to court, not to the grave! Hum! Li Zhi flicked his sleeves and got into the carriage.
"Back to Your Majesty, slave maid...... Know. Bai Chun, who had just sat down, had no choice but to stand up again and said to Li Zhi in a worried mood.
Li Zhi raised his head and sighed, stretched out his hand and motioned for Bai Chun to sit down and speak: "What can you explain about Di Renjie?" The position of Zhengqing of Dali Temple, can't it be so empty all the time, right? ”
Li Zhi's question caused Wu Mei to roll her eyes for a while, and Bai Chun, who was in a nervous mood, didn't have the heart to pay attention to the queen's expression at all.
Regarding Di Renjie's matter, His Royal Highness did not give any explanation before leaving, but only said that his father and mother would understand.
Bai Chun nervously sorted out the wording in his heart, how to answer Li Zhi's question, after all, he always didn't know what to ask, which would make His Majesty very dissatisfied.
But before she could think of the wording, Wu Mei next to her also sighed, and then said: "Your Majesty, Di Renjie's matter was deliberately done by Li Hong, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”
I wanted to wait until I returned to the palace, but now His Majesty is like missing a tendon, and he doesn't bother to think about it at all, as long as there are people around him who understand, he doesn't bother to think about anything anymore.
Now that he happened to meet Bai Chun on the road, Li Zhi was even more reluctant to use his brain to think about the intention, in his opinion, among the women in the East Palace, Bai Chun's identity and status were the most important in Li Hong's heart, and Li Hong was also very dependent on and took a fancy to her, Bai Chun should know the reason for this.
After Wu Mei finished speaking, she saw Li Zhi's eyes swishing on her face, and even Bai Chun on the side slowly turned her head to look at herself.
Wu Mei looked at the eyes of the two of them with a strong "thirst for knowledge", and said: "Di Renjie's matter was deliberately done by Li Hong, and his purpose was to have a stable rear behind him, or a team of supplies such as grain and grass, after he set out to conquer Annan. ”
"The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, doesn't he know this reason?" Li Zhi asked, obviously dissatisfied with the answer given by the queen.
Judging from Li Hong's actions, it is obvious that the war in the southwest will not end soon, and when the grain and grass he brings will always run out, the grain and grass supplies of the entire army will need a stable rear to help him transport, and this is not the first time Li Hong has done this, and even every time he goes out...... It's going to be like that. Wu Mei's ears occasionally heard the sound of street drums, and the war horses in the honor guard, stepped into the streets of Chang'an and made the sound of iron hooves, paused and said.
"Every time?" Li Zhi began to reminisce about each of Li Hong's expeditions, but he did not let him understand and see clearly the similarities between this expedition and the previous Li Hong's expeditions.
There were no outsiders in the whole carriage, a majesty, a Bai Chun, all of them were royal people, Wu Mei had no scruples, and her expression was more solemn like the two of them explained: "Li Hong went out to Anxi for the first time, Lanling, Chengyang and others were his food and grass guarantees, and he didn't have anything to worry about above the court, so he didn't have to worry about the court, and it wasn't his turn to worry." ”
"The second Andong expedition, including Jiacang and other things, is Li Hong in order to conquer Anton, seeking a stable rear and doing it, Lu Zhaolin from Anxi as the governor of Youzhou, is after your trip to Andong, to provide you with food and grass security ministers, when he went to Anton, the court was originally supervised by him, you and he was not in Chang'an, and the concubine was the person who stabilized the court in his Li Hong's mind, and even because the concubine wanted to govern, plus the ...... at that time."
Wu Mei sighed helplessly, and then continued: "In addition, at that time, Li Xian already wanted to replace Li Hong, so when Li Hong went to Andong, he had to hand over nearly 1,000 people from the Futu camp to the concubines and put them in the harem just in case. Whether it is the court or the marching army, Li Hong has made a complete plan when he leaves, or His Majesty and concubines stabilize the court, or Lanling and Lu Zhaolin provide grain and grass, in short, Li Hong will never lead his troops to the expedition with worries. ”
"And what about his journey to the Wa Kingdom? Even if I stabilize the court with you, I don't have to worry about him, but when he conquered the Japanese country, Li Jingye's intention to rebel in Yangzhou was already known to everyone, where did he have people who supplied grain and grass? Li Zhi sat behind the desk, watched the carriage enter the familiar imperial city, and continued: "By the way, Li Sujie and Li Shangjin were recruited by him to ...... Hangzhou at that time. ”
"Li Sujie and Li Shangjin are just pawns to contain Li Jingye and delay Li Jingye's rebellion, what really gave him food and grass supplies was Li Chongyi, the assassin of Hangzhou, because of Yangzhou's rebellion, no one knows when Li Jingye will launch it, but if Li Hong suppresses Yangzhou first, he will definitely be recalled to Chang'an immediately by you afterwards, so he needs to conquer the Japanese country first, and then suppress Li Jingye in Yangzhou, so it is Li Chongyi who really helps Li Hong stabilize Hangzhou and Yangzhou, and provides grain and grass supplies." Wu Mei slowly got out of the carriage with Bai Chun's support, and then Li Zhi followed off the carriage.
"So, Di Renjie is the one who provided him with food and grass this time? After you said this, I realized that every time this kid goes on an expedition, he is obviously a foolproof and careful plan. I thought that every time he went out on an expedition and made a decision, it was a whim, and he was extremely reckless. Li Zhi and Wu Mei walked side by side, and Bai Chun, Hua Ji, and Wang Lou followed closely behind them, followed by various ceremonial guards before and after, unfolding in the Daming Palace, accompanied by a few people walking in the direction of the Xuanzheng Palace.
"If you think so, it's a big mistake, if it's just to ensure the supply of grain and grass, then he doesn't have to let Di Renjie go." Wu Mei glanced at the towering sky pavilion not far away, and her heart couldn't help but be filled with a sense of pride.
In the whole world, I am afraid that there is no taller and more luxurious building than the castle in the sky.
"What does the queen mean by this?" Li Zhi asked as he slowly stepped up the steps with his hands behind his back.
"Since the Yangzhou rebellion was put down that year, whether it was King Yue or King Cao after his death, Li Hongke had intervened in their fiefdoms? King Yue has been operating in Mianzhou for many years, but after his death, Li Hong ignored Mianzhou, it has been a few years, he seems to have forgotten his place, don't you think, this is completely inconsistent with Li Hong's ruthless and decisive temperament? The expression on Wu Mei's face became more and more solemn.
There are many things that will not let you understand everything when they happen, but when this matter is a few years later, when you look back and summarize it, you will find that Li Hong's city is simply unfathomable!
And you will find that every thing, Li Hong's seemingly inadvertent actions and behaviors are actually plotted.
"What do you mean?" Standing at the door of the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Zhi suddenly stopped, looked at Wu Mei and asked.
"Whether it is King Yue or King Cao, it is impossible for there to be no remnants of evil in Bashu, the land of Bashu has been operated by them for so many years, if King Yue and King Cao die, whether it is Bashu or the imperial court, it is regarded as if there has been no rebellion of King Yue, it is enough to show that there must be something strange in it."
"Has there been any instability in Bashu over the years, and anything that goes against the will of the imperial court?" Li Zhi has not been in charge of politics for several years, and now he is like a novice who needs to slowly grasp and understand the government again.
The courtiers were originally lined up on both sides of the steps, looking at His Majesty and the Empress, as well as the three Bai Chun behind them, who were chatting with a straight face.
Then, as Hua Ji's loud voice sounded, the courtiers began to enter the Xuanzheng Hall from both sides, ahead of Li Zhi and Wu Mei.
