Chapter 20 Flying Snow, the Emperor Summons
The weather in the north is changing, yesterday the sun was still shining, only one night later, it snowed.
This is the first snow that Li Xuanba came here, he rarely got up early, moved a chair, and lay in front of the door to watch the snow fall. Li Gou placed hot tea on the railing of the verandah. Li Zhu stood by the railing, looking at the snow in the courtyard, silent.
"Looks like I can't go out today." Li Gou stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes, and as soon as the snowflakes landed on his hand, they melted and turned into water droplets.
"When the snow stops, Luoyang should look better." Li Xuanba blinked his eyes and said, "After walking around for so long yesterday, I already remember the way, so you two don't have to accompany me." ”
"Madame has asked the two of us to take care of you, how can we let you go out alone?" Li Gou shook his head and said.
After returning home yesterday, Li Gou found Li Zhu murderously, Li Zhu smiled and threw him two pieces of broken silver, Li Gou instantly put the hatred of the common heaven behind him, and happily returned to the room.
"I'm not a three-year-old, so why do I need you to take care of me?" Li Xuanba said with a smile: "After leaving Hedong County, you have been staying by my side, you are not bored and panicked, I am still annoyed!" ”
"Staying by the young master's side, how can you feel bored." Li Gou said with a smile: "Besides, it's not interesting for us to stay in this mansion, I always feel that this Tang Guogong Mansion is more deserted than Hedong County." ”
"My father is not in the mansion, and I have become like this again, who will come to this Tang Guogong Mansion if there is nothing to do?" Li Xuanba said lightly.
As soon as Li Xuanba finished saying this, Li Can hurriedly ran into the courtyard and said, "Childe, a father-in-law has come to announce the decree and is waiting for you in front of the door." ”
"Another decree?" Li Xuanba said strangely, suddenly thinking of the attack on the princess, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes and went to the main gate to greet his father-in-law.
A carriage stopped two feet in front of the Tang Guogong Mansion.
Because it was in Luoyang, there was no cold forbidden army on the side of the carriage, only a little eunuch, holding a paper umbrella, standing on the left side of the carriage, shivering.
When the little eunuch saw Li Xuanba come out, he informed the people in the carriage, then nodded and ran to the front of the carriage. The coachman handed over a pedal, and the little eunuch carefully placed it with his other hand, and then propped the umbrella to the edge of the curtain with his feet.
A middle-aged eunuch lifted the curtain, hunched out of the carriage, and after getting out of the carriage, his waist stopped straight. When the eunuch lifted the curtain, Li Xuanba had already greeted him.
"Lord Zhongyongwei, when the decree is announced, don't kneel anymore, the minions can't afford it." The last time Li Xuanba entered the palace, this father-in-law served beside Yang Guang and spoke first.
"Then, please declare the decree to the father-in-law." Li Xuanba hesitated, half-bowed, and did not kneel.
"Tell your majesty." Li Gou and the others knelt down, and the eunuch glanced at it and said, "I let you enter the palace in two days, and now that the deadline is approaching, are you waiting for me to send someone to carry you over?" After learning Yang Guang's tone, the eunuch hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord, this is Your Majesty's original words, and I hope that your Excellency will not blame the slave." ”
"Father-in-law, you're polite, it's snowing so hard, and I'm bothering my father-in-law to run it himself." Li Xuanba said with a smile, and after speaking, he turned to look at Li Gou.
Li Gou had already stood up at this time, and when he saw Li Xuanba looking at him and casting a questioning look, Li Xuanba glanced at him angrily, and turned his gaze to Li Zhu, Li Zhu walked in and whispered in his ear: "The silver on the villain is not enough." ”
Li Xuanba suddenly remembered that the gold and silver given by Wan were still on the bed, and hurriedly gave Li Zhu a color, Li Zhu saluted his father-in-law and bowed down.
"My lord, Your Majesty is waiting in the palace, you should hurry up and follow the servants into the palace." The eunuch had excellent eyesight and understood what Li Xuanba meant. But the silver is a small matter, Li Xuanba just keeps it in mind, and there will be opportunities in the future. But if His Majesty is in a hurry and blames him, with Li Xuanba's status in Yang Guang's heart, he will naturally not be punished, and if it is not good, he will be punished for the crime of not doing things well.
"Father-in-law gets into the carriage first, and I'll be there later." Li Xuanba invited the father-in-law to the side of the carriage and said, "By the way, may I ask what the father-in-law is called." ”
"The minion's surname is Chang." Chang Gonggong replied with a smile.
"Father-in-law Chang gets in the car, it's a little cold outside." Li Xuanba helped Chang Gonggong into the carriage.
Seeing that Li Zhu hadn't come back yet, Li Xuanba beckoned Li Gou to his side and whispered a few words, Li Gou answered, and ran into the mansion.
Li Xuanba patted the snow on his body and got into the carriage. The little eunuch put away the paper umbrella and followed.
The carriage in the palace had a prescribed route, and when the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Li Zhu had already waited for a while.
Li Zhu handed a small bag of silver to Li Xuanba, who checked it and said, "You wait for me in the carriage." Li Zhu nodded and got out of the way.
Soon after entering the palace, Li Xuanba and Chang Gonggong got out of the carriage, after all, the palace has its own rules, and some places are not allowed to drive the carriage.
"Father-in-law Chang, did Your Majesty have any anger at the official?" Li Xuanba handed over the silver.
Father-in-law Chang accepted the silver and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's tone is a little fierce, but he said it with a smile, thinking that he was just annoyed that you forgot his words." ”
Li Xuanba sighed a little helplessly and didn't explain.
Nor can it be explained.
The three words "two days", in Li Xuanba's impression, never really expressed its literal meaning.
After walking for another quarter of an hour or so, the two of them came to the imperial study.
"Father-in-law Chang, you finally brought Lord Zhongyongwei here." There was a father-in-law standing in front of the door of the imperial study, and when he saw Li Xuanba and the others, he greeted them from afar, and said: "Your Majesty just sent a big fire, hurry up and let Lord Zhongyongwei persuade Your Majesty to pay attention to the dragon body." ”
"Gonggong Li, do you know why Your Majesty is angry?" Father-in-law Chang and Father-in-law Li walked side by side and asked, their voices not being lowered to ensure that Li Xuanba could hear clearly.
"It's not about the traitors." Gonggong Li has been in the palace for many years, so he naturally understood what Gonggong Chang meant, and replied in a voice that was neither light nor serious: "In front of Your Majesty, don't mention the matter of the traitor, and say more things that make Your Majesty happy." ”
Li Xuanba quietly followed behind the two fathers-in-law, and he already knew it.
"Your Majesty, the loyal guards have arrived and are waiting outside the door." Gonggong Li pushed the door into the imperial study and said softly.
"Let him in." Yang Guang looked at the folds on the table and said with a frown.
"Xuanzhong bravely guards Li Xuanba's audience!" Gonggong Li shouted, not daring to make too loud noises, but he could ensure that people outside the imperial study could hear them.
"When you go in, be careful what you say." Father-in-law Chang reminded again, Li Xuanba arched his hand, took a deep breath, and pushed the door in.
"Weichen" Li Xuanba was just about to kneel, Yang Guang looked up at him, Li Xuanba hurriedly bent over and saluted, "See Your Majesty." ”
"What about Hooray, Hooray, Hooray?" Yang Guang saw that Li Xuanba reacted quickly and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Xuanba stood up straight, took a step forward, bowed down again and shouted: "Weichen see Your Majesty, may my emperor live long live long live." ”
