Chapter 051: The King and the Minister

Before he could go to the cave, Li Xuanba's idea was undoubtedly cruel to Yang Ling and Shizuka. Wan Shi didn't agree, Cai Saijiu didn't agree, and when Li Xuanba entered the palace to meet Yang Dong, he was vetoed by Yang Tong.

In fact, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others agreed with Li Xuanba's plan, but they did not approve of him leaving Jiangdu so quickly.

Xiao Miao's situation is precarious, Li Jiancheng's army may capture Jiangling at any time, once Jiangling and other counties become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuanba to fight for it again is tantamount to declaring war on the Tang Dynasty.

Before the time came, Li Xuanba naturally wouldn't take this risk, so he urgently wanted to go to Jiangling as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou Guogong, this matter is actually not troublesome to solve." Li Xuanba and Yang Tong were arguing in the court, and the eldest grandson Wuji listened to it for a long time, shook his head and smiled: "Jiangling and his party, Zhou Guogong will definitely go, but he doesn't have to go so early." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Tong and Li Xuanba spoke almost at the same time, and they didn't want to continue arguing.

"The matter of persuading Xiao Milling is unpredictable, and we naturally can't go alone, so it's better for Weichen to go first, go to Danyang to transfer some soldiers and horses, and Zhou Guogong will set off on the third day in the evening, with full courtesy." The eldest grandson Wuji bowed down and said: "Weichen heard that General Li Mian has managed Danyang in an orderly manner, and the thieves in the county have already been eliminated, so I think I can send out thousands of soldiers. ”

Yang Tong did not object to Li Xuanba going to Jiangling, he just hoped that Li Xuanba could stay in Jiangdu for a few more days, after all, according to etiquette, Li Xuanba needed to take Yang Ling and Shizuka back to his parents' house.

Li Xuanba frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy, but thinking of the eldest grandson Wuji's ability, he felt that his worries were redundant.

"Weichen thinks Li Zhu's idea is good, Your Majesty, it's better to take his idea." Li Xuanba arched his hand towards Yang Tong, and his face softened.

Yang Tong breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's what I mean. After a pause, he retreated, leaving Li Xuanba alone: "I know that my aunt's actions have been a little inconvenient in the past two days, and when she recovers a little, you can take her back to the palace, so that when you are not in Jiangdu, those courtiers will come to annoy me." ”

Li Xuanba said in his heart: Yang Ling's body is good, not only is it easy for her to move, but Shizuka's action is also very convenient!

"Your Majesty is still thoughtful." Although he was full of slander, Li Xuanba still had an embarrassed smile on his face, scratched his head and said, "There are some things that Your Majesty is more experienced. ”

Yang Tong's face was stunned, and he rolled his eyes: "Thirteen is a good intention, you don't appreciate it, it's just that, and you still say such hurtful words." ”

"Okay, okay, isn't it okay for Weichen to be wrong?" In the huge court, only Li Xuanba and Yang Tong stood opposite each other, and naturally had no scruples when they spoke: "Brother Sutuo, they have already gone back separately, Your Majesty, although we are brothers, they have paid so much for the court, and the reward cannot be forgotten, so as not to chill people's hearts." ”

At the mention of the reward, Yang Tong's face became sad and sighed: "When you got married, your brothers couldn't even prepare a decent gift, and these thirteen were in your eyes. Earlier this day, Thirteen mentioned this, but all the brothers refused to give the reward. ”

"Why?" Li Xuanba said strangely: "The imperial court is not poor now, they have no reason to save money and silver silk for the imperial court, right?" ”

"You have made so many merits but do not accept the reward, how can the other brothers be embarrassed to accept the reward of the imperial court?" Yang Tong said helplessly: "With your merits, even if you are crowned king, who can say half a word in the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

"It's not a good thing to be crowned king, Weichen doesn't want the world to be stable, and hundreds of civil and military officials in the court will start to fight for power." Li Xuanba understood Yang Tong's good intentions, but he knew that the king might be able to bring benefits to the court for the time being, but it would also bury hidden dangers.

"So what do you say?" Yang Tong didn't know what Li Xuanba was worried about, so he spread his hands and threw the difficulties to Li Xuanba.

"Let's talk about it when they return to Beijing to report on their work." Li Xuanba thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty will reward Weichen with some treasures at will, as long as Weichen accepts it, they should not shirk it again." ”

Yang Tong nodded and said, "That's all it can be." ”

Out of the palace, Li Xuanba and the eldest grandson Wuji got into the carriage, and Liang Xiao, Li Jiuzhi and others rode horses to protect them.

"Brother Wuji, why did you stop Xuanba just now?" It was very warm in the carriage, Li Xuanba rubbed his hands, and asked casually: "You should know that Xuanba's original plan." ”

After discussing with the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng, Li Xuanba originally planned to rush to Jiangling with the eldest grandson Wuji first, and as for the transfer of troops, it was handed over to Li Jiuzhi or Liang Xiao to handle.

"You should also know that Your Majesty has grown up." The eldest grandson Wuji ignored the complaints in Li Xuanba's words, and replied calmly: "There were several palace maids and eunuchs in the palace at that time, but you had a loud argument with Your Majesty, did you care about his feelings?" ”

Yang Tong was just sixteen years old, and he was indeed a child in the eyes of Li Xuanba, but in the eyes of others, Yang Tong was a high emperor and had the majesty that an emperor should have.

Li Xuanba reflected for a moment, thought of the situation just now, and said with emotion: "Yes, he has indeed grown a lot. ”

As the so-called authorities are fascinated, bystanders are clear, when arguing, Li Xuanba didn't notice Yang Tong's face, but the eldest grandson Wuji saw it really well, so he was in a hurry to stand up and play a round.

"If you are allowed to quarrel, I am afraid that he will really get angry." The eldest grandson Wuji raised his head, looked at Li Xuanba and said, "No matter how important the matter of Jiangling is, it can't compare to the harmony between the monarchs and ministers in the court. ”

"It's all because Xuanba is short-tempered." Li Xuanba smiled wryly and said, "Thank you Brother Wuji for reminding me." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed secretly, he actually hoped that Li Xuanba would be able to stand on his own, if that was the case, there would be no dispute like today, after all, no matter how powerful Li Xuanba is now, he is a courtier of the court after all.

Li Xuanba's heart was not calm, in the palace, he didn't notice Yang Dong's expression, but now that he thought about it, no matter who Yang Tong was replaced, he would be angry.

Compared with Yang Tong's anger, Li Xuanba was more worried about Yang Tong's composure.

After retiring from the eldest grandson Wuji and the palace maid and eunuch, Yang Tong chatted with Li Xuanba for a long time as if nothing had happened, and he walked from the dragon chair to Li Xuanba without looking rusty at all.

So Li Xuanba, who calmed down, couldn't help but start thinking, did Yang Tong really not care about his offense, or was he trying to make compromises?

The carriage slowly moved forward on the street, and the hooves of the guards stepped on the bluestone, making a clattering sound, and the streets were full of people, automatically making way for the carriage of the Zhou State Mansion, and the mouths of the people were still singing praises.

The carriage was very quiet, Li Xuanba was thinking, and the eldest grandson Wuji could see the tangled color between Li Xuanba's eyebrows, and he didn't bother, his eyes looked out of the window with interest through the shaking curtains.

Because the world outside the window is the stable life he has been looking forward to. (To be continued.) )
