Chapter 293: Sleepless (4)
When Gao Lishi went to the mansion to announce the edict, Li Mao was actually suspicious, because this point didn't seem like a good thing no matter how you looked at it, so that everyone entered Xingqing Palace, and it seemed a little confused.
"Eighteen Lang, come here."
Hearing his father's call, Li Mao calmed down and stepped forward, but he didn't expect that Li Longji was not sitting on the throne, but sitting on the steps in front of the palace, clasping his hands, like a lonely old man.
"Aya, what's going on?" He quickly stepped forward and fell to his knees.
"It's nothing, I've been sitting in that seat for forty years, and I suddenly thought about sitting here, it turns out that I have another feeling, do you know what it is?"
Where did Li Mao dare to talk nonsense, and replied softly when he heard the words: "Son is dull, please Aya for advice." ”
"One step away, the difference between the abyss."
Li Longji stood up by pressing his shoulders and pulled him again: "Come with me." ”
Li Mao followed behind him for some reason, and the father and son walked out of Xingqing Palace one after another, and stood on the steps that were more than nine times high, a total of eighty-one steps, although it was not as high as Hua Gong and Qinzheng Building, it was enough to overlook the lights of thousands of homes in the city.
"Tell me, what do you see?"
Li Mao replied without hesitation: "All the people in the world." ”
Li Longji glanced at him: "In the second year of the first year, the first emperor took me to stand on the steps in front of the Daming Palace, and asked the same question, but I was thinking about these four words at the time, but I didn't dare to say it, Eighteen Lang, you are bolder than me." ”
"Child's False Words......
Li Longji interrupted his explanation and said indifferently: "That was before I ascended the throne, but now I see a different scene. ”
"This dark night is like a huge beast, lurking all the time, wanting to swallow the world in one bite, see it, there are crises everywhere, there are traps waiting for you everywhere, An Lushan is not the first, and it will not be the last."
He waved an arm, and his voice suddenly rose a lot.
"My prosperous age, my prosperous world, some people are unwilling, hiding in the dark, snooping, destroying, Eighteen Lang, do you see it, right there, there, like hamsters, flies and flies, how ugly and despicable!"
Li Mao was shocked when he heard this, he had never seen that Shengming, the father-like Son of Heaven, had lost his temper like this: "Who is it, Aya?" ”
"I don't know, the only thing I can be sure of now is not you."
Li Mao understood, but he didn't feel flattered in his heart, he lowered his head and said, "My son is willing to share his worries for Aya." ”
Li Longji showed a relieved expression, and couldn't help touching his head and said, "Do you remember what I told you?" Don't let down your bloodline and turn what you see into what your heart wants. ”
"I wrote it down."
"Go ahead, make the best use of your manpower, in the name, I will give it to you tomorrow, so that you can make a good living."
Seeing Li Mao leave the palace, Li Longji was still standing on the tall steps, until Gao Lishi quietly stepped forward and put on a big coat for him.
"Everyone, Zuo Yulin has news from Xuanyang Fang, they found a team of people in Pei Mansion who claimed to be Jin Wuwei stationed in the Fang, all of whom were tied hand and foot."
"Which Pei Mansion?"
Gao Lishi nodded, Li Longji was shocked, he never thought that the matter would involve the third aunt, this is impossible at all? Could it be that she would take risks for the sake of Yang Guozhong? His mind was a mess, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"The old slave summoned Cheng Qianli, the general of the Right Jin Wuwei, just outside the palace, do you want to see it." After a moment, Colliers asked thoughtfully.
"He has been in office for less than a month, what can he know, let him follow Shouwang on an errand."
Gao Lishi respectfully received the order, Li Longji stood there wearing a heavy coat, only to feel a chill to the bone, the current situation is like the night in front of him, sinking to the limitless, and the ink is melted into a ball, making it impossible to see clearly.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and everyone is trying to get something out of it, or trying to get rid of something, including Liu Ji, the initiator, of course.
Xuanyangfang was under martial law by Zuo Yulin's sergeant, and no one could come and go at will, Datang's defense mechanism reacted quickly, which was beyond his expectations, which also meant that those subordinates scattered all over the city were in danger multiplied, but no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to sneak out in such a grim situation, so he could only shrink into his room, lie on his back on the couch, and try his best to let himself sleep, so as to accumulate energy and deal with what was going to happen next.
He is not as innocent as a sixteen-year-old, and he knows very well in his heart that no plan is leakless, and no measure can be foolproof, and his subordinates' instructions to him will not be discounted, that is because each of their families is in his control, and they dare not use it so much, let alone take this risk in the center of the Tang Dynasty.
But is it really safe?
Even if it is an organization of faith in the future, in the face of torture, there will be traitors, and people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and no one knows if he is holding a knife behind his back when he smiles at you.
Things really happened, he felt afraid, because there are too many people involved, there are people he cares about, there are people who care about him, each of them is entangled with this body, can no longer be separated, in fact, this kind of adventurous impulse, it is difficult to say which soul it is, in later generations, when he goes out on a mission, the most admonished is to be calm, never impulsive, never impulsive, this is a basic quality of the field service, but after coming to this time and space, it seems to be gradually disappearing.
Since the crossing, how many adventurous things have been done, Liu Ji has gone through it in his mind like watching a movie, those suicidal actions, like a self-defeating three-no young man, the last toss in the world, he secretly warned himself in his heart that he can't go on like this anymore.
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and Liu Ji subconsciously reached under the wooden pillow and grasped the handle of the short knife.
"Who?"
"Ji Langjun, there are people from outside the house, please go out."
"Who?"
"It's Zuo Yulin's military master, who was ordered by the edict."
Left Yulin? When he followed Feng Changqing to the Weishui camp, he had seen the other party's commander, different from Gao Xianzhi, he was an active guy, the case that happened in the jurisdiction of Youyulin, let them investigate, is this to avoid suspicion or be on guard?
Liu Ji put on his clothes, and followed the steward to the outer room, and there was indeed a group of Yulin Army generals standing in the hall, looking at the clothes, it seemed that the grade was not low.
"The dog has arrived, what is the matter with you, may I ask." Daddy saw him coming and introduced them to him.
"But Liu Guoyi?" A young man with an alien face punched at him.
"Exactly, don't you dare to ask?"
"Below is a lieutenant in Zuo Yulin's army, who came to your mansion for routine business on the order of the general, and he was offended, no wonder."
"Well said."
Although the other party wrenched his face and looked like he was doing business, Liu Ji always felt that he had bad intentions.
"The military register says that you are not alone when you enter Beijing this time."
"I was ordered by Zhongcheng to take my subordinates to escort the county lady and her family into Beijing, a total of 100 people."
"What about people?"
Sure enough, Liu Ji told him according to the answer that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Usually they will divide half of them to be on duty in the Fengfu, and the remaining half will take turns in the camp outside the city, and they will change every ten days."
The man nodded and closed the military register: "What about you?" ”
"You have also seen that my father lives here, and he can only accompany him here, and he will go to Fengfu on an errand during the day."
"Okay, for the rest of the matter, I'll go to Fengfu to ask for advice, and I'll bother you."
Liu Ji believes that they are just investigating, and they are not really suspicious of themselves, but they will inevitably be worried, looking at this, they are afraid that they will go to the Fengfu for verification immediately, and can only hope that the old father-in-law will play a good tacit understanding in the past and wipe his ass clean again, but in this way, it will inevitably drag the Feng family into it.
It's nerve-wracking.
Unexpectedly, the young Yulin military captain walked a few steps and turned back to him and said.
"Fang is a business matter, and in private, I still want to ask Liu Wulang for advice one day, under the surname Hun, a single name, a single name, sixteen years old, the same size as Guo Yi, it can be described as a coincidence."
"Fortunately." Liu Ji was stunned, this name seems to have been heard.
"Farewell."
Hun Ying smiled and clenched his fists, and turned to leave.
