Won the title of honorary doctorate, Li Xuanba's life was much more comfortable, every morning rushed to Guozijian to make up for sleep, after waking up, think of a more tricky question, handed it to Cai Sai wine, and then enjoyed the food provided by Guozijian, life is very comfortable.

At the same time, the attitude of Yang Gao and others towards Li Xuanba has gradually changed.

After all, King Zhao is the prince, and the other noble children are the only ones who look at him, and even Yang Gao himself has spoken to Li Xuanba, so there is no need for them to put on a bitter and bitter appearance. Li Xuanba has been a person in two lives, and if he makes some jokes, he will make those children laugh, of course, Yang Ling and Qiushuang still maintain a cold attitude.

Unknowingly, Li Xuanba stayed in Luoyang for nearly a month. Yang Guang seemed to have forgotten about Li Xuanba's existence and never summoned him again. Li Xuanba himself has never mentioned entering the palace, and he is enjoying the carefree years now.

Luoyang is very prosperous and lively, but in Li Xuanba's eyes, the palace pavilions are just broken walls, and the lively crowd is just the source of the blood flow of the river. So, he didn't want to look at it anymore, he didn't want to think about it anymore.

Luoyang in December became even colder, and after dinner, Li Xuanba locked himself in his room.

The charcoal stove in the room exudes a comforting warmth, and at the same time fills the room with a somewhat unpleasant smell of charcoal. The house was quiet inside and out, no cicadas, no frogs, only the occasional sound of charcoal burning and exploding, which kept the whole yard from looking too cold.

Li Xuanba stared at the word "choice" on the desk and was silent for a long time.

The word "choice" is very beautifully written, better than what was written in the academy at the beginning, and it is also better than what was written every night before, Li Xuanba is very satisfied, but he is very dissatisfied.

The words were already written, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.

After sitting for a long time, Li Xuanba only felt a little sore all over his body, so he stood up and took out a piece of rice paper from the side of the desk, on which many names were recorded.

Yang Guang, Li Shimin, Yuwen Chengdu, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Dou Jiande

This piece of paper is placed very casually, because these names are all simplified, and Li Xuanba is not worried about being discovered by others.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, there were so many celebrities that Li Xuanba racked his brains and couldn't record everyone's names, he could only think about it slowly, and then record their names one by one on this piece of paper.

"Now I am useless, even if I know where you are, how can I make friends with you?" Li Xuanba said to himself: "In troubled times, who should I believe? ”

Li Xuanba stuffed the piece of paper back into its original position and stared at the word "choice" again.

He is not thinking about who to choose, but whether to choose or not.

Yang Guang's image has been ingrained in Li Xuanba's mind, although his image has improved after seeing Yang Guang, it is not enough for Li Xuanba to regard him as a good emperor.

"What the hell do you think?" Li Xuanba sighed deeply, looked at the fire and asked, "I'm doing something wrong in the country, don't you really know?" ”

"Yuwen is old, and I have let him recuperate at home; came to guard the imperial city and couldn't leave; Zhang Xutuo ran around, and he was even more flawless, and the other generals were guarding one side of the town. Yang Guang lay on the bed in Renshou Palace, counted the important ministers of the court carefully, and finally sighed: "Now, there are only tens of thousands of rebels in Jiangcheng, and I have no way to deal with them. ”

Empress Xiao rubbed her arm for Yang Guang, heard the words, thought for a moment, and said: "General Yuwen is in poor health, and it is indeed inappropriate to let him go to the army to fight again, but the concubine thinks of a person. ”

Yang Guang has always trusted Empress Xiao very much, and when he saw that she had someone in mind, he was curious, and hurriedly said, "Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"Jigong Fan Zigai." Empress Xiao said: "Although General Fan is over seventy years old, his body is very strong, and he wants to eradicate the traitors for His Majesty, but there is some misunderstanding with His Majesty. ”

Yang Guang was trapped in Yanmen, and at the critical moment, he promised the soldiers who accompanied him that as long as they could return to Luoyang, they would be rewarded. With the promise, those soldiers worked hard to defend Yanmen Pass until the Great Sui reinforcements arrived and relieved the siege of Yanmen Pass.

But after returning to Luoyang, Nayan Suwei thought that the reward was too heavy and should be considered. Fan Zigai insisted that he could not be dishonest, and asked Yang Guang to scold him, saying that he was buying people's hearts.

"After the incident of the traitor Yang Xuangan, I am indeed too cautious." Yang Guang said that he admitted his mistake.

"General Fan is dedicated to the country, even if His Majesty is in danger, he has never left, how can he betray His Majesty?" Empress Xiao and Yang Guang have a deep relationship, and they don't have too many scruples when they speak.

"Yes, when I was trapped in Yanmen Pass, if he hadn't dissuaded me, I was afraid that I would have really broken through with cavalry." Yang Guang shook his head with a smile and said, "When it comes to cavalry, my cavalry of the Great Sui is indeed a little worse than that of the Turks. ”

"Your Majesty has figured it out, so you don't have to worry about Jiangcheng anymore." Empress Xiao saw that Yang Guang finally smiled and comforted.

"It's been cold lately, let's go a few more days." Yang Guang nodded and said: "After all, Jigong is old, and he has done so much for my Great Sui, so let him rush to Jiangcheng at this time, I can't bear it." ”

After a pause, Yang Guang continued: "Jing Pantuo and Chai Baochang are just young people, and they can't afford to make big waves. Okay, let's not talk about Jiangcheng, it's been almost a month since Xuanba came to Luoyang, it's time to summon him into the palace and let you meet. ”

At the mention of Li Xuanba, Empress Xiao smiled, Yang Guang saw it in her eyes, and said jealously: "I have been with you for so long, and I haven't seen you smile, but when it comes to that idiot, you smile so happily." ”

Yang Guang's appearance was like a coquettish child, and Queen Xiao helped Yang Guang up and let him lean on her arms. She knew that Yang Guang was trying to make her happy, so she didn't reply, only smiled.

"These days, Ling'er is in front of you, have you ever mentioned him?" Yang Guang asked with his eyes half-closed.

"She didn't take the initiative to mention it." Empress Xiao replied: "However, when the concubine mentions the loyal and brave guard, Ling'er is not as indifferent as when she just came back from Hedong, and the concubine thinks that Ling'er still has him in her heart." may have played a role in these days when the two met every day in Guozijian. ”

"Xuanba, this kid, is really nonsense." Yang Guang thought of the news he had received these days, and said with a smile: "Empress, have you heard what he has done in the Guozijian?" ”

"The concubine heard some news." The queen also smiled: "According to the records in the ancient books, the gentleman who threatens the prince of the country in disguise doesn't know what to do in the room every day. ”

"What can he do? It's nothing more than sleeping. Yang Guang scolded with a smile: "But he is quite honest in the book class, if he can read more books, he can also assist Gao'er in the future." With Chengdu and Xuanba assisting Gao'er, I am much more relieved. ”

"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, how can you say these words?" Empress Xiao feigned anger.

"Okay, okay, I don't have to say it." Yang Guang was most afraid that Empress Xiao would be angry and pretend to be guilty.

"Your Majesty, when do you plan to summon the Loyal Guard?" Empress Xiao ignored Yang Guang's flattery and asked softly.
