Chapter 21: The Unknown Yang Guang
Yang Guang was joking, but he didn't expect Li Xuanba to really shout again, and he was immediately amused by Li Xuanba's appearance, turned his head, and said to Li Gonggong: "Look at this kid, where did you learn these things." Father-in-law Li laughed with him and didn't dare to answer.
"Alright, let's find a place to sit down." Yang Guang laughed for a moment, continued to watch the recital, and said to Li Xuanba casually.
"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, why don't you enter the palace in two days?" Li Xuanba said respectfully with a smile on his face.
"You didn't mention me, but you forgot, I let you enter the palace today, why didn't you come?" Yang Guang folded the music, put it on the table, and said with interest: "I thought that you were completely different from before, but I didn't expect that this habit of disobeying orders has not changed. ”
"Wechen is terrified." Li Xuanba bowed down and said, "How dare Weichen not listen to His Majesty's words, it's just" Speaking of this, Li Xuanba secretly glanced up at Yang Guang.
"Just what?" Yang Guang asked.
"It's just that the last time I entered the palace, Weichen was too nervous, and his mind was in chaos, and he really didn't remember what happened in the palace." Li Xuanba put on a bitter gourd face and said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't even remember how he left the palace, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”
"If I want to cure you for your sins, can you still stand here and talk?" Yang Guang said angrily: "I asked you to sit down, did you hear me?" ”
Li Xuanba nodded hurriedly, looked left and right, chose the position farthest away from Yang Guang, and ran over and sat down.
Yang Guang lowered his head and took a fold, and when he looked up again, he saw Li Xuanba sitting so far away, so he couldn't help but throw the fold on the desk, with a hint of annoyance, and said: "I asked you to come and talk to me, you sit so far away, you want me to talk to you with a roar?" ”
"Wechen is wronged." Li Xuanba stood up and said with a hint of grievance: "Weichen doesn't know what rank he is as an official, thinking that he can't lose his etiquette, so he found the last position, and hopes that His Majesty will be angry." ”
When Yang Guang heard this, he immediately felt helpless, so he beckoned and said, "Sit here, get closer to me." Then he turned his head to Gonggong Li and said, "Quan Zhi, you wait outside, I will talk to Xuanba." ”
Gonggong Li glanced at Li Xuanba, saw that Li Xuanba was cautiously moving towards His Majesty's side, and thought that Li Xuanba's force had been lost and would not pose a threat to Yang Guang, so he answered and walked towards the door. Halfway through, he turned his back to Yang Guang, pointed to the second position, and then walked out of the imperial study as if nothing had happened.
Li Xuanba understood, walked over, and sat down gently, at this time, Yang Guang had already read a book, threw it aside casually, and pulled out a copy again, glanced at Li Xuanba's position with his residual vision, nodded with satisfaction, and continued to review the book.
"What's going on with Ling'er?" Li Xuanba was looking at Yang Guang in a daze, when he suddenly heard Yang Guang ask him about the princess, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
However, Li Xuanba quickly calmed down, and after only half a circle of his eyes, he replied: "Weichen is guilty." After saying that, he stood up and wanted to salute again.
"You sit down honestly." Yang Guang said: "Ling'er is worried about you, and it is her own idea to go to Hedong County to see you." I just want to know, what happened in Hedong County, and why Ling'er has been sullen since she came back? I went to see her yesterday and found that she had lost some weight. ”
"Huh?" Li Xuanba saw that Yang Guang was not asking about the attack on the princess, so he instantly relieved himself and replied, "This, Weichen doesn't know. His Majesty also knew that Wei Chen had just recovered from a serious illness, and he rarely stayed in the mansion after waking up, and rarely met the princess. ”
"I see." Yang Guang casually threw another notebook, his mood seemed to become a little bad, he stretched his body, looked at Li Xuanba and said: "I will not be reluctant to do the matter of children, but Ling'er is very affectionate to you, you should at least go to see her." ”
The snow outside the house was still falling, and some of the falling snow on the eaves turned into water droplets, which flowed down the red bricks and fell to the ground, making a "ticking" sound.
Li Xuanba always thought that Yang Guang's marriage was probably just a temporary joke, or he valued his force, so he didn't dare to get too close after knowing that Yang Ling's fat was just a disguise. Now Yang Guang asked him to see Yang Ling, and it seemed that he really intended to match the two.
"The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and Weichen looks ugly, and now she is like a wasted person, but I am afraid that when I see the princess, I will only disappoint the princess." Li Xuanba replied lightly, unwilling to let Yang Guang notice his heartbeat.
"As a man, how can he be judged by his appearance?" When Yang Guang heard this, he reprimanded: "Wan's letter said that after you became seriously ill, you became very smart, and seeing you today is indeed different from the past, how can you give up easily?" ”
Li Xuanba saw that Yang Guang was angry, and for some reason, he was moved, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, and Weichen knows his mistake." ”
"Did Wan ever tell you about me?" Yang Guang chatted with Li Xuanba for a while, and after resting, he reviewed and re-read the recital.
"It is a capital crime to discuss Your Majesty in private, and my mother has not talked about Your Majesty with Weichen." Li Xuanba paused and said, "However, they ask Your Majesty to remove the name of Weichen Zhongyongwei in order to live up to the position given by Your Majesty himself." ”
"They're very thoughtful." Yang Guang smiled and said, "I am not Emperor Gao, so I can't do anything like a bird to hide from the bow." Don't mention it again. ”
Emperor Gao, that is, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, after seizing the world, slaughtered the heroes on a large scale.
Li Xuanba couldn't believe it more and more, the person in front of him was Yang Guang, he was silent for a moment, and said uneasily: "Your Majesty, Weichen has forgotten everything before, I don't know if Your Majesty can mention one or two?" ”
"What do you want to know?" Yang Guang's hand paused for a moment and said softly.
"Wechen wants to know, what was the previous Wechen like in front of His Majesty?" Li Xuanba said.
"The old you." Yang Guang put down the pen and recalled: "When I saw me for the first time, I refused to kneel, saying that I can't beat you, why do you want to kneel to me? After only saying a word, Yang Guang smiled.
After you said this, Tang Guogong's face changed color on the spot. It's a little funny to think that when he faced the Turkic soldiers, he didn't change his face, but he was scared like that by your unintentional words. Yang Guang continued: "If I hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid he would have drawn his sword and beheaded you on the spot." But I know that he is just putting on a show, Tang Guogong regards his son as his life, how can he be willing to do it? ”
Li Xuanba smiled, remembered Li Yuan, and said in his heart: At this time, Li Yuan shouldn't have the idea of becoming an emperor, right?
Yang Guang told the past things one by one, Li Xuanba listened and sighed with emotion, this Li Xuanba can live to be killed by thunder, he is really a fortune teller, and everything he does is a crime that should be killed.
"It's strange to say, when I saw you for the first time, I felt that I fell in love with you, maybe you really came down to the stars to assist me." Yang Guang said for a long time, and finally sighed.
At this time, the bell rang in the palace, Yang Guang frowned, sighed, and said: "I still have some things to discuss with the minister, so I won't keep you, remember to walk around the palace more in the future and talk to me." Or, go see the princess. ”
Li Xuanba stood up, bowed in response, said goodbye, and turned to leave. When he walked to the door, Li Xuanba stopped, hesitated for a while, and turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, does the matter of marriage still count?" ”
