"Xuanba, I'm about to discuss this with you." Yuwenshu looked at Li Xuanba and said with a serious face: "Do you know that Your Majesty sent people to build dragon boats in Jiangdu, and they were sent to Luoyang last year?" ”

"The younger generation has seen it, and the dragon boat is extremely huge, which is really breathtaking." Li Xuanba nodded and said, "It's just that the juniors didn't get close to watch, and they don't know the whole picture of the dragon boat." ”

"The old man didn't want to discuss with you how the dragon boat was." Yuwen Shu said angrily.

"Huh?" Li Xuanba was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xu Guogong must not be angry, he has something to say." ”

"Do you know what Your Majesty did to build the dragon boat?" Yu Wenshu knew that he was out of shape and said lightly.

Li Xuanba thought for a while and said, "I heard that Your Majesty will go to Jiangdu every year to parade and build dragon boats, so naturally it is to prepare for going to Jiangdu. ”

Yu Wenshu nodded and said, "Then do you think it is appropriate for Your Majesty to go to Jiangdu at this time?" ”

Every time Yang Guang cruised the Jiangdu, in addition to the people carried by the dragon boat, he also had to be escorted by thousands of boats, and the cost was unknown. And the counties on both sides of the canal, the supplies for so many people are naturally miserable.

So, it's not a question of whether it's appropriate at this time, it's that it's always been inappropriate.

"Is there something wrong?" Although Li Xuanba didn't understand the battle of the imperial court, he would not discuss the emperor's rights and wrongs at will, so he asked rhetorically.

Yu Wenshu was about to get angry again, but he also guessed what Li Xuanba was thinking, sighed, and said: "Xuanba, who relied on his own strength to defend Luoyang back then, has become what he is now. ”

After listening to Yu Wenshu's words, Li Xuanba showed a ashamed expression and fell silent.

Yuwenshu wanted to provoke Li Xuanba, but seeing that it had no effect, he had to say truthfully: "Your Majesty already knows about Wei Qi's affairs, but there are still some things that Your Majesty doesn't know. In the land of Chen and Ru, Lu Mingyue gathered more than 100,000 people and held high the banner of anti-Sui; Li Zitong in the East China Sea had tens of thousands of troops and invaded Jiangdu; The thief king must pull through Gaoyang County; Zhu Cang, a native of Qiaojun, has hundreds of thousands of people, invading Jingxiang, and the place where he passes is deserted. ”

"Huh? How can there be so many rebels? Li Xuanba was surprised: "Since Xu Guogong knows, why didn't he tell His Majesty?" ”

"With my body, do you think you can still enter the palace?" Yu Wenshu rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, Your Majesty has traitorous ministers around him, and Kyushu is in pain, and he can't reach the Holy Hearing." Even if someone riskes his life to inform His Majesty of the facts, he will be accused by His Majesty of the crime of bewitching the public, and will be dismissed from his official position at the least, or his head will be lost, who will dare to play His Majesty? ”

Hearing this, Li Xuanba already understood the meaning of Yuwen's statement, but when he heard the words "his head is not guaranteed", he had already made up his mind that he would never do it.

"Eat the king's fortune, bear the king's worries, Your Majesty will one day understand who is a loyal minister and who is a traitorous minister." Li Xuanba pretended to regret and said: "It's not too early, the juniors won't disturb Xu Guogong's rest and say goodbye." With that, he stood up and wanted to leave.

"You sit down." Yuwenshu ordered lightly, Li Xuanba sighed bitterly in his heart, and secretly went out without looking at the yellow calendar, so he had to sit down.

"What does Xu Guogong command?" Li Xuanba continued to pretend not to understand the meaning of Yuwenshu, and said: "The people in the house are still waiting outside the door, but I am afraid that after a long time, they will be anxious to wait." ”

Yu Wenshu glanced at Li Xuanba casually and said, "Zhiji knows what to do, at this time, the people in your mansion are just afraid that they are enjoying the food and wine of my Xu Guogong's mansion." So, don't worry about what he's going to hear. ”

This is something that doesn't get angry. Li Xuanba scolded secretly in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and said: "The juniors are not worried about anything, I don't know what Xu Guogong has to explain, if he can, the juniors will definitely go all out." ”

"You are Your Majesty's favorite courtier, and in this situation, don't you plan to do something for Your Majesty?" Yu Wenshu looked directly at Li Xuanba and said, "Others don't dare to report the truth to Your Majesty, you should dare, right?" ”

Who doesn't have a head on their neck? Why don't others dare, I should dare? Li Xuanba complained a few words in his heart, and said: "The junior doesn't know the details of the traitor, even if he sees His Majesty, he can't tell clearly, otherwise, I will invite Your Majesty to come over, and you will personally present the table?" ”

When Yuwen Shu heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he suppressed his anger and said: "I know that you are worried about setting yourself on fire, so let's do it, I have a piece of music here, when you see Your Majesty, you only need to hand it over to Your Majesty, and you don't have to worry about other things." As he spoke, he took out a copy from under his pillow.

Li Xuanba took the fold, didn't look at it, and said casually: "This fold is a little wrinkled, I'm afraid that if I present it to Your Majesty, it will cause Your Majesty to be displeased." "Li Xuanba's meaning is obvious: I'm afraid that you have already written this melodrama, and now that I happen to come to the Xuguo Mansion, you plan to let me be a substitute for the dead ghost?

Yu Wenshu's face remained unchanged, and he said: "This recital has indeed been written a long time ago, but I didn't trust anyone to present it to Your Majesty, I wanted to wait for Chengdu to come back and let him present it, but he won't be able to come back for a while, so I can only trouble you to run away." ”

Faced with Yuwenshu's reasonable explanation, Li Xuanba really couldn't find a reason to refute it, and in desperation, he took the fold into his arms and said, "If you have the opportunity, you will definitely present it to Your Majesty." ”

Yu Wenshu finally smiled and said, "Without further ado, the sooner the better." ”

Li Xuanba nodded heavily and said, "Now, can the juniors say goodbye?" ”

The matter has been explained clearly, Yuwenshu naturally no longer hindered him, and after a few polite words, he let Li Xuanba leave.

Li Xuanba's face was dark, he found Li Gou, and saw that he was really eating and drinking with Yu Wenhua, he couldn't help but be angry, and said coldly: "Go back." ”

Li Gou looked back and saw that Li Xuanba's face was wrong, and he didn't dare to laugh and respond, so he hurriedly dropped the wine glass in his hand, said goodbye to Yu Wenshi, and ran to Li Xuanba's side.

After the two left, the gate of the Duke of Xu's Mansion was closed, and soon after, Chang Bo drove the carriage and went around from the side, and Li Xuanba and the others got into the car and went straight to the Li Mansion.

"Father, you're really clever at this." Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenzhi sent Li Xuanba out of the house, and then returned to Yu Wenshu's room non-stop, Yu Wenzhi and complimented: "When Your Majesty sees the twist, even if you are angry, you will only blame Li Xuanba, and when Your Majesty thinks clearly, you will naturally take credit for our Yuwen family." ”

Yu Wenshu was in a good mood, got dressed and got out of bed, how could he look seriously ill? He smiled and said, "Count you smart." After a pause, he continued: "However, I didn't mean to harm Xuanba, everything depends on the will of God. ”

On the way back, the carriage of the Li Mansion passed by a river, and Li Xuanba asked Chang Bo to stop the car, hesitated for a moment, and quickly took out the fold from his arms and threw it into the river.

Li Gou didn't see what Li Xuanba threw clearly, and said strangely: "Childe, what are you doing?" ”

"Xu Guogong asked me to help him save something, I don't think it's useful." Li Xuanba replied casually.

"And what do you do when he asks you for it?" Li Gou said speechlessly.

"Lost it, didn't you see it?" Li Xuanba said strangely.

Lost, it may have been accidentally lost, or it could have been deliberately lost, Li Gou was silent for a moment, and said, "I really lost it accidentally." ”
