Chapter 51: Chaos in the Eastern Capital (6)
The West Garden is a royal garden, and the scenery is like spring all year round, which is refreshing and pleasant. At this time, it is spring, the greenery is more abundant, and with the beauty in his arms, if it weren't for Yang Gao's hateful and lovely face, Li Xuanba would definitely feel very satisfied.
"Your Majesty wants Weichen to ask the first emperor for an edict in person?" Li Xuanba said casually, then looked at Yang Ling in his arms, and said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered an interesting story, do you want to listen to it?" β
Hundreds of soldiers had already surrounded the pavilion, and Li Xuanba had no way to retreat, and it looked like he was going to die. Yang Ling was sad in his heart, but he showed the most beautiful smile and bowed his head gently. Yang Yuan put away her vigilant gaze and pricked up her ears to listen. She was curious about what kind of story Li Xuanba would tell when she was in a desperate situation.
Li Xuanba became a turtle in the urn, and Yang Gao was not in a hurry, looking at the three people in the pavilion with interest.
"It's a's story." Li Xuanba didn't care about the reaction of other people, and said softly: "There was a man before, because the lady was too domineering, he threatened to divorce her, guess what his lady said?" Yang Ling shook his head, his eyes were full of curiosity, and Li Xuanba continued: "That lady said that in her life, there is no divorce, only a widow. β
"What does this story mean?" Yang Yuan frowned slightly and said puzzled.
"I just saw that Ling'er was a little nervous, and casually told a story, what does it mean." Li Xuanba rolled his eyes, but when he saw Yang Ling's blank look, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, thinking of the status of this woman in society, he also felt bored, and forcibly defended: "Ling'er, we haven't gotten married yet, you have to suffer the pain of losing your husband, Your Majesty is really willing to make you sad." β
"When death is imminent, it's still so shameless." Yang Yuan snorted coldly. Refocus on the soldiers around you.
"Brother Xuanba, there are many things that I can't be by your side, but no one can stop this matter." Yang Ling raised his head and said affectionately, he was planning to die with Li Xuanba.
"Loyal and brave. You have been delaying for so long, are you waiting for the Xingyang Army to appear? When Li Xuanba and Yang Ling were fighting each other, Yang Gao interjected very inappropriately: "I forgot to tell you, the camp of the Xingyang army has been besieged by the army led by Commander Wang, and they are unable to protect themselves, so they should not be able to save you." β
"This is the palace, of course the Xingyang Army will not come to save Weichen." Li Xuanba said with a bitter face: "Wechen has long said that Wechen is very afraid of death, and now the catastrophe is coming. If you can live an extra moment, you will earn it. β
"Sure enough, it's the black one who is close to ink." Yang Gao mocked: "You have learned a lot of skills from those businessmen. β
"Weichen is an ordinary man, of course, he can only learn some useless things." Li Xuanba said humbly, as if Yang Gao was really praising him: "Your Majesty, Weichen's life is not long, dare to ask Your Majesty if you can tell Weichen, why don't you let me and Xingyang Jun go?" Wouldn't it be more beneficial for Your Majesty to let Weichen and the princess marry? β
"I gave you a chance." Yang Gao sat up straighter. In order to reflect the majesty of his king, he said lightly: "I designed you to alienate King Yue. I didn't expect you to still bow down to him, I ascended the throne yesterday and gave you another chance, but you refuted my face in front of the courtiers, why do I dare to let you continue to control the Xingyang Army? β
"According to Your Majesty's wishes, what should Weichen do?" Li Xuanba was a little confused. Curious.
"Since you came back from Xingyang, have you ever been to King Zhao's Mansion once?" Yang Gao said coldly: "I think you don't even know where the gate of King Zhao's Mansion is. β
"Just because of this?" Li Xuanba smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "When you and King Yue sent someone to assassinate Weichen at the same time, Weichen still thought that His Majesty was very smart at that time. I didn't expect to be so naΓ―ve. β
When Yang Guang toured the south, he originally planned to take Yang Ling and Yang Gao with him, but Li Xuanba was worried that the Jiangdu Palace would be inevitable, so he risked offending Long Yan and persuaded Yang Guang to leave them in Luoyang.
In order to prevent Yang Guang from becoming suspicious, Li Xuanba deliberately alienated Yang Gao, so he had never been to Zhao Wangfu, he didn't expect that his hard work would actually make Yang Gao suspect him first.
"Brother Xuanba, King Yue didn't send someone to assassinate you." Yang Ling left Li Xuanba's arms and said a word.
"How can what the assassin said be false?" Li Xuanba frowned and said, "Although the origin of the third assassin is unknown, it must be a certain minister's own action in order to curry favor with King Yue. β
"Idiot." Hearing Li Xuanba's words, Yang Yuan sneered without replying.
"The first emperor praised you for your unparalleled intelligence, but now it seems that you have disappointed me a little." Yang Gao laughed out loud, ordered the soldiers to retreat a little farther, rode a few steps forward, and said in a voice that only Li Xuanba and the three could hear: "Those assassins you don't know are sent by Liu Changgong by me, and as for the others, they are all chess pieces that I gave up in order to alienate you from King Yue. β
As soon as Li Xuanba returned to Luoyang, King Yue wanted to seize his military power, and soon after leaving the palace, he met several assassins, and he was preconceived, and naturally thought that King Yue had also sent someone to assassinate him. Moreover, in order to make the play realistic, Yang Gao did not hesitate to pay for his life, so that Li Xuanba was more convinced that it was King Yue who really wanted to harm him.
Now that I think about it, apart from that conflict, King Yue and him really didn't have a dispute later. On the contrary, King Yue has always trusted him, just like Yang Guang's trust.
As soon as the Xingyang army arrived in Luoyang, it was stationed in Hanjiacang City, when there was a shortage of food in the eastern capital, Hanjiacang was the only source of food for the people of Luoyang.
Li Mi besieged Luoyang, and the king of Yue handed over the power to lead the troops to Yuan Wendu, Liu Changgong and Li Xuanba, and then stayed in the palace with peace of mind, except for asking about the situation every day, and did not meddle in the affairs of the army.
Later, Li Yuan waved his army westward and besieged Hedong, Li Xuanba was excluded and transferred back to the eastern capital, and the king of Yue did not hesitate to send him to Hedong to support, not afraid of his defection.
Thinking of these things, the smile on the corner of Li Xuanba's mouth became bitter, and he could even guess why King Yue ignored him yesterday.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen retracted what he said just now, you are indeed very smart." Li Xuanba complimented him very sincerely: "But Weichen still doesn't understand, why are you so vicious when you are so young?" β
In order to gain Li Xuanba's trust, Yang Gao lost more than a dozen lives, a teenager with such a vicious heart, Li Xuanba only felt cold all over.
"I had to do this in order to live." Yang Gao had no guilt on his face, and said calmly: "If it was King Yue who ascended the throne, would he let me go?" β
Li Xuanba was very disappointed, he shook his head, and asked Yang Ling softly: "Ling'er, about the autumn frost"
"The princess was worried that something would happen to you, so she sent Qiushuang to remind you, but she was killed halfway through, and died a miserable death." Yang Ling couldn't cry, and Yang Yuan replied on her behalf, her words full of distress and regret. (To be continued.) )
