Chapter Eighty-Five: Li Jiuzhi

After lunch, Li Xuanba went to Guozijian.

It's rare to go back to Luoyang, if you don't go to meet Yang Ling, I'm afraid that Yang Ling will be unhappy, and besides, I haven't seen him for so long, Li Xuanba really misses Yang Ling.

"When you left, spring was in full swing, and now the leaves are beginning to fall." Yang Yuan was very intrigued, Li Xuanba took Yang Ling into his arms, and after telling about the pain of lovesickness, Yang Ling said quietly.

"Isn't this to be worthy of you?" Li Xuanba hugged Yang Yuan tighter, and there was a trace of disbelief in his heart. He never imagined that one day he would be able to walk with such a stunning woman and be so close.

Yang Ling doesn't like to dress up, let alone apply any rouge powder, but she has a faint fragrance on her.

Li Xuanba took a deep breath, only to feel that his mind was a little uncontrollable, and quickly pinched his thigh to make himself sober.

"I'm just a princess that no one likes, what's not to deserve." Yang Ling blushed and said, "Since you are back, according to etiquette, you should enter the palace to meet your father." ”

"I'll enter the palace later, although Your Majesty doesn't blame the big family in Dongjun, I have to explain it." Li Xuanba nodded and said, "Even if I am a future colt, I can't do things too much. ”

When Yang Ling heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, bowed his head and pretended to be angry: "Under the court, how can you speak so openly!" ”

"There is only a big court, and there is no public, so what is there to be embarrassed about." Li Xuanba laughed, knowing that Yang Ling's face was thin, he stopped laughing, and said, "Your Majesty didn't blame you for what happened last time, right?" ”

"My father was a little upset, but he didn't scold me." Yang Ling frowned slightly, and replied in a low voice: "Brother Xuanba, why do you want your father to stay in Luoyang?" ”

"Now that there are rebels and thieves, Your Majesty will always be safer if you stay in Luoyang." Li Xuanba explained casually: "And Your Majesty, as the king of a country, should have sat in Luoyang or Daxing, the western capital, so as to stabilize the people's hearts." ”

"I don't understand what my father is like." Thinking that Yang Guang didn't listen to the advice, Yang Ling was suddenly upset and sighed: "When you see your father, don't mention the matter of Jiangdu, my father's temper has become more and more strange recently, and I am a little worried." ”

The two lingered for more than half an hour, and Li Xuanba said goodbye and left, and then hurried to the palace.

Li Xuanba asked for a decree to face the saint, and Yang Guangda was surprised, but he still summoned him in the Great Cause Palace.

"Why don't you stay in the army and go back to Luoyang?" Yang Guang looked a little in a bad mood, and said in a flat tone: "Could it be that I came back specially to see how many gifts the Tang State Mansion has received?" ”

"Wechen is wronged." Li Xuanba bowed and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the money and silver in the world are naturally Your Majesty's, if Your Majesty thinks that Weichen has done something wrong, then Weichen will go back immediately and send someone to send those things to the palace." ”

"Do you think I'll still covet your money?" Yang Guang snorted coldly and said, "Don't stay in the army for a few days, just play this kind of trick with me." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare, what Wechen said is sincere." Li Xuanba bowed again.

"Excuse me." Yang Guang felt that it was really useless to take Li Xuanba, and said weakly: "If I take back those silvers, I am afraid that Ling'er will suffer with you in the future, Ling'er will not blame me, and the queen will also count me." ”

Li Xuanba observed his words, saw that Yang Guang was in a slightly better mood, and smirked twice, Yang Guang was really amused by his stupid appearance, leaned forward, and said with a smile: "You have done a very beautiful job in the relocation of the big households in Dongjun, you have not given the Wagang thieves a chance to grow, and you have earned so much silver for the imperial court, you say, how should I reward you?" ”

"Didn't Your Majesty already reward it?" Li Xuanba replied respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. ”

"Since I promised to give it to you, are you still afraid that I will not regret it?" Yang Guang smiled and was angry, and said: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, since you have returned to Luoyang, it is necessary for me to send someone to pass on the decree, you go back and tell Zhang Xutuo, let him only block the enemy from going south, and do not take the initiative to fight." ”

"Wechen obeys." Li Xuanba responded.

"If it's okay, you can step back first." Li Xuanba saw that Yang Guang seemed to have other things, so he bowed down and withdrew from the Great Cause Palace, and after leaving the palace, he went back to the Tang State Mansion directly.

Li Xuanba didn't dare to persuade Yang Guang to give up his trip to Jiangdu, and Yang Guang's mood today was not very good, so he could only say nothing.

The people who should have been seen were also seen, and when Li Xuanba returned to the Tang State Mansion, he locked himself in his room and looked through the account book handed over to him by Wei Zheng.

Luoyang has been built for more than ten years, and at first, Yang Guang moved more than 100,000 households to fill Luoyang. But over the years, some large families have declined, some officials have been demoted or killed, and there are many decaying houses in the city. The big family that moved from Dongjun settled down very easily.

Li Xuanba is a celebrity in front of Yang Guang, although these big families are rich, they still don't dare to offend Li Xuanba, after they settle down, the first thing they think of is to send money and silver to the Tang State Mansion, not only a lot of money, but some big families also send some more.

But Li Xuanba has never been in Luoyang, and these things can only be handled by Li Gou and Wei Zheng, but Li Gou is a rough person, and he only knows how to move the silver into the mansion, how can he think of keeping accounts?

Wei Zheng remembered every sum of money clearly, Li Xuanba looked at it casually for a while, and then put the account book into his arms, because footsteps sounded at the door, and soon after, Li Gou knocked on the door.

"Childe, Mr. Wei said that you wanted to meet this child, and the villain brought him over." Li Xuanba answered in the room, and Li Gou took a young man into the room and said.

"Hmm." Li Xuanba looked at the young man, waved to Li Gou and said, "You go out first, I'll talk to this kid." The young man was frail, and Li Gou was not worried about Li Xuanba's safety, so he closed the door and retreated.

"Mr. Wei has already told me about you." Li Xuanba motioned for the young man to sit down, and said calmly, "Can you tell me why you did that?" ”

"Because Childe is a good person." The young man tilted his head and said without fear: "Your Majesty is not good, and neither are the others, only Gongzi is good." ”

Being praised so much by a child, Li Xuanba felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said shyly: "Actually, I'm not as good as you think." ”

If Li Gou saw Li Xuanba's appearance, he would definitely scold him shamelessly.

"No, Childe doesn't care about our identity, he still eats with us at the same table, treats us as human beings, in my heart, only Childe is worthy of my life!" The young man obviously didn't realize Li Xuanba's shyness, and still said firmly.

"Then why is Your Majesty and the others bad?" Li Xuanba was proud, and asked curiously: "What about your family?" ”

When the young man heard this, he calmly recounted his life experience.

It turned out that the young man's father was originally a butcher, but later his brain was hot, and he rebelled with others, and because of his bravery, he gradually became a petty official.

However, the rebel was soon exterminated, and the boy's father was beheaded, and he was convicted of a crime because he was still young at the time.

"In other places, everyone will despise me because of my identity, but Childe doesn't." The young man knelt down and said, "I beg Gongzi not to drive me away, the villain is willing to lead the horse and block the arrows for Gongzi." ”

"People can't live in hatred all the time." Li Xuanba didn't help him up, and said, "Do you hate Your Majesty in your heart?" ”

The young man shook his head and said: "My father participated in the rebellion, and he should be punished, and the villain does not dare to hold a grudge against His Majesty, but His Majesty is the enemy who killed his father after all, and it is impossible for the villain to serve him, so I also ask the son to take him in." ”

"It's not a big deal, let's get up quickly." Li Xuanba didn't expect the ancients to be so brainless, and they would have to repay each other with their lives because they ate a few meals together.

When the young man stood up, Li Xuanba asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Ask Childe to name the villain." The young man said, "The villain doesn't want to remember the past, and hopes that the son will be fulfilled." ”

"Then let's call it Li Jiuzhi." Li Xuanba thought for a while and said, "I hope you can always remember how persistent you were in the future." ”
