And since realizing that she was pregnant, Wang Lihua took the initiative to move back to Yecheng and lived in the ancestral house of the General's Mansion, and lived in half a life, and Li He and his original partner Liu also have a son and a daughter, all in Beijing, Liu died of illness a few years ago, the eldest son Li Hengqian went out with his father, and the talented daughter Li Caier stayed in Beijing to take care of the family business.
The Chinese Dynasty is turbulent, Li He has been fighting abroad all the year round, and the opportunity to see their mother and son is even rarer, although it has been a family for several years, there have been few contacts, Li Huai's memory, the impression of this father is also very weak, and he has no impression of his brothers and sisters.
Li Huai was a little surprised to receive Li He's letter early in the morning, and when he read the contents, in addition to most of the reprimands and warnings, he let himself settle down, and when the war stopped for a while, he would let him go to Beijing to study in the academy.
I am a concubine, and I should keep to myself, what is this going to Beijing to study, is it difficult to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility? Li Huai was a little depressed, it seemed that his prodigal career was coming to an end, and he really couldn't let go of this year's comfortable life.
Later, Li Huai told his mother the contents of the family letter, of course, the reprimand and warning can be saved, and when Wang Lihua heard that Li He was going to let Li Huai go to Beijing, her expression trembled slightly, "Okay, you can stay at home for the next few days, and when your father comes to the letter, you can go." Leaving a word, Wang Lihua went to the bedroom, leaving him alone, which made Li Huai's heart feel slightly lost, thinking that his mother was doting on weekdays, and he would not let him go so easily, and he would learn to intercede with his father, so he could stay, but he didn't want the other party to have no intention of keeping him.
And in another courtyard, two old men were also reading a letter.
"You're happy now, Li He is really angry." In the room, Shang Xue and Uncle Nine sat opposite each other, he put a letter in front of Uncle Jiu, Shang Lao's face was full of wry smiles, and on the opposite side was Uncle Jiu, squinting and scanning the content of the letter, "I said, I have already given him the news, why haven't you seen any movement for a long time, I was waiting here, hum." ”
Uncle Nine sneered, "I'm so old, and I'm still afraid of him being a junior?" It's kind of polite to you, do you know what he said about me in the official document he sent to Shangjing, saying that I misled people's children and brought his sons to ruin, but Your Majesty has sued me fiercely, you look at it, Your Majesty's reprimand should arrive in the past two days. ”
The old man said it easily, it seems that he doesn't take everything to heart at all, the internal guard is the emperor's minions, as long as he doesn't commit chaos, other big things are trivial things in His Majesty's place. Shang Xue naturally knew that the old man of the internal guard relied on it, and that was the trust that had been established for more than ten years today, how could the anger of a general be shaken.
He shook his head and sighed, "Other people's sons have helped you a lot, so can't you be polite to others?" Besides, Li Huai just didn't want his father to know, so you just wrote the matter down on paper and sent it to someone, so you weren't afraid that Li Huai would come back and trouble you? He's not the one who suffers. ”
"I'm just waiting for him to come, this kid is smart now, he can't hide, I asked people to find him a few times, he is either drunk, or sleeping, three points more scoundrel than me, if he really makes him angry, I just let people take him!" Uncle Nine laughed as he spoke, which made Shang Xue on the other side speechless for a while.
After a while, Uncle Nine took out a booklet from his arms, "Look at it, this was written by him that night, and I wonder if he was born to know this, and the grade is so old and spicy." ”
Shang Xue took the booklet and flipped through a few pages, also frowning, compared to the content, he cared more about the tables and analysis inside, "This is what that kid wrote?" Truly extraordinary. ”
Uncle Nine nodded, "What's more, my subordinates watched what he wrote, and also said that the process of his interrogation was unheard of, and my subordinates were also good at torture, but afterwards, they threw themselves on the ground with the five bodies that the kid admired, and said that they didn't dare to provoke." ”
Shang Xue looked at the booklet in his hand and pondered for a moment, "It seems that we still underestimate him, but now at least one thing is certain, he is a useful person." Shang Xue said this, and both of them nodded, "Li He let him enter Beijing, and I think he also saw the availability of his son." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty has been obsessed with immortality for the past two years, and many things are not asked, the situation is turbulent, and you and I must also plan early." Uncle Jiu's words were cold, and his eyes were slightly gloomy.
Shang Xue can naturally hear the meaning of the other party's words, once a son of heaven, a courtier, has been beautiful for most of his life, and naturally hopes to start and finish, but today's Hua Dynasty is up and down, who does the chair above the temple belong to in the end? Who can predict?
"If I guessed correctly, Li He would have let Li Huai go to Beijing before the year." Shang Xue exhaled and looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, "It's cold, and as soon as the war slows down, he will have time to meet this cheap son." ”
"What? Want a father-son reunion? Hehe" Uncle Nine smiled, glanced at Shang Xue's expression, and suddenly thought of something, "He doesn't want that kid to attend the imperial examination, right?" No matter how you look at it, that kid is not the champion. ”
"You old slippery head, what are you kidding, there is only one champion, he is really full of talent, and it is not his turn, you forgot that the imperial examination is presided over by His Majesty himself, and this year the prince will bear it."
Listening to Shang Xue's words, Uncle Jiu's face also showed a sly smile, "You are really still towards your student." ”
"Do you still have the heart to care about me? Have all your men packed up? If you let the one in Shangjing know that this kind of thing happened......" Shang Xuexue was halfway through his words, and saw that Uncle Jiu's face instantly darkened, and he knew that he had said the other party's sore feet.
"Humph!" There was a rebellion in the inner guard, this must not be spread outside, Li Huai knew it, and now Shang Xue also knows, the old man's face is secondary, and he is afraid that the lives of the dozens of people under him will not be guaranteed.
"This matter can't be hidden, the internal guard is not a monolith for a long time, I think you should think about countermeasures before the news leaks." Shang Xueyou said in a wandering manner, completely ignoring the mood of his old friend.
"There are human heads on Dulonggang, three is not enough, just get a few more, isn't it a dead man? It's all dead, see who can say anything! Uncle Jiu's hideous smile suddenly filled the room with a chill, and Shang Xue saw that his old friend had made a killing move, but a smile flashed on his face.
