Chapter 351: The Bet
Concubine Hui looked at Li Shan and said with some complaint: "Lord Li has been looking at it without any way?" Is the king of Zhennan a wasted name? ”
Tang Suzong said: "This kind of thing is not Taifu's specialty, how can Taifu know the art of horse taming." Don't be embarrassed by the concubine. ”
Li Shan said with a cold face: "Even if I want to make a move, I am only afraid of disturbing the interest of others, Concubine Hui can rest assured, you can rest assured to return to the palace." I didn't expect that in an hour, An Lushan would definitely be able to bring the Rui Beast to Niangniang. ”
Li Linfu was a little surprised and said, "How does King Zhennan know?" I think that although An Lushan is brave, dozens of people can't help the Rui Beast, and I'm afraid An Lushan can't subdue the Rui Beast. ”
Li Shan smiled slightly and stopped talking. He felt as if the Rui Beast incident was only done by An Lushan alone. There is no relationship between Li Linfu and Concubine Hui. Can An Lushan alone create this Rui Beast incident? Li Shan has a little doubt, it doesn't seem to be that simple, and the mastermind behind the scenes should not have surfaced yet.
When Concubine Hui heard this, she came to her senses, and said with a smile: "Oh, King Zhennan is so confident, do you dare to make a bet with this palace?" Concubine Hui looked at Li Shan with a sly look in her eyes, with a provocative look in her eyes.
Li Shan felt that Concubine Hui seemed to be deliberately targeting herself, and she picked on her every time. But it doesn't matter, anyway, Li Shan originally wanted to deal with her, and this woman in the harem is afraid that it will cause chaos. Back then, Tang Xuanzong was confused by Yang Guifei, ignored the government and politics, and gave power to the Yang family, which was even more hateful than the Wu family. Today, it seems that Tang Suzong is deeply confused, I am afraid that it is no less than Tang Xuanzong in history, Li Shan naturally can't sit idly by, since Concubine Hui has taken the initiative now, then Li Shan is embarrassed not to accept it.
Li Shan said: "But according to Concubine Hui's instructions, if I guess wrong, I will be punished." ”
Concubine Hui said to Tang Suzong at this time: "Your Majesty, the king of Zhennan has already boasted of Haikou, what do you think we are going to bet?" ”
Tang Suzong obviously didn't want the two to bet like this, obviously winning the bet of admitting punishment without a prize, Tang Suzong felt that Concubine Hui intended to embarrass Li Shan, so he didn't want the two to stiffen, and said: "Ai Fei, Lord Taifu has always been like a god, you still don't bet with Lord Taifu." ”
Concubine Hui reluctantly said: "Since Lord Taifu is like a god, then it is definitely impossible to make a mistake, if Lord Taifu guesses correctly, should you reward him with something?" But if Master Taifu is wrong, this is the crime of bullying the king. ”
Tang Suzong said with a smile: "Lord Taifu is just a joke, why should Concubine Hui take it seriously?" ”
Concubine Hui ignored the dissuasion in Tang Suzong's words and said, "Your Majesty, how can Lord Taifu's words be child's play? ”
Li Shan smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Hui has always wanted to reward Weichen, then Weichen can't always shirk it, right?" What does Concubine Hui want to bet on? The minister should be accompanied. ”
Tang Suzong saw that Li Shan agreed, and there was no reason to refuse, and said: "Since this is the case, then take a small gamble, and don't make excessive demands." ”
Concubine Hui smiled happily and said, "Concubine obeys, if Lord Taifu loses, then I want Lord Taifu to bathe my foal." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they always thought that Concubine Hui was so aggressive and wanted to do something, and finally said such a bet. Li Shan was stunned, what is this? Jokes?
Tang Suzong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Aifei, you are really, you actually asked Master Taifu to bathe your horse." ”
Li Shan couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, since Concubine Hui is so interested, the minister should obey the order." ”
Sure enough, when I returned to the palace, I heard news from the guards that An Lushan's successful subdued Rui Beast had been sent to the palace. Tang Suzong was overjoyed and said: "An Lushan is really heroic, Lord Taifu is really like a god, Concubine Ai, you lost this time." ”
Concubine Hui was not happy when she heard the news, she originally wanted to get the Rui Beast, but now that she couldn't let Li Shan wash the horse, she was even more annoyed and depressed.
An Lushan was taken to the back garden by the guards, and when he met the emperor, he said: "The minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, the emperor blesses you, and God blesses Your Majesty, so that this beast can be successfully captured." Dedicated to the emperor as a mount. ”
When Concubine Hui saw the white horse, she turned happy and said, "You fat general really have two hits, it's a pity to stay in the paddock." Your Majesty, since An Lushan has caught the Rui Beast, why don't you reward him as a servant of the imperial horse eunuch? ”
The imperial horse eunuch is not a very big official, but it is a complete beauty. It is not a big deal to help the emperor raise horses and take charge of the imperial horses. But to be able to see the emperor all the time is a minister, and wanting to be promoted is just a matter of the emperor's words.
Li Shandao: "Your Majesty, since the minister guessed correctly, then the minister should be given a reward." ”
Tang Suzong nodded and said, "This is as it should be, since you have made a bet, then you should be rewarded." What reward does Master Taifu want? ”
This is a very embarrassing question, Tang Suzong suddenly felt that he really had nothing to reward Li Shan, to talk about status, Li Shan was already ranked as the third prince and the lord of Dali, and the emperor was crowned Prince Jiuzhu, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person. As for wealth, Li Shan is even less rare.
Li Shan smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this An Lushan minister likes it very much, why don't you give this person to the minister?" ”
An Lushan was originally very happy, but he was appreciated by Concubine Hui and became a royal horse eunuch, so he would be on the rise in the future. But he couldn't have imagined that Li Shan would actually intervene sideways, and An Lushan couldn't figure out what Li Shan wanted him to do?
Concubine Hui was not happy when she heard this, and said: "Master Taifu, this An Lushan is for this palace to raise horses, if you are leaving, what if this palace wants to ride this beast?" Could it be that Lord Taifu is willing to help this palace tame this beast? ”
Li Shan said: "Why not, a few concubines have lives, how dare the ministers disobey?" Give the minister seven days, and the minister should tame this beast and ensure that it will not hurt anyone again. ”
Seeing that Li Shan was willing to condescend to help him train the horse, Concubine Hui had some changes. I really can't guess what Li Shan means, he is cold to himself, and now he wants to help him train his horse? Could it be that it is a plan to capture and indulge, no matter how Concubine Hui looks at Li Shan, she feels that this person is different from others.
Li Shan finally got his wish and left the palace with An Lushan, Li Shan was very happy, and solved An Lushan's confidant, so at least the Anshi Rebellion would not happen. But Tang Suzong's performance made Li Shan very disappointed, although Tang Suzong was kind to Li Shan before, but it also exposed Tang Suzong's shortcomings of not being assertive, so he now has a lot of trust in Concubine Hui and Li Linfu's words.
There are two sides to everything, Tang Suzong and Tang Xuanzong's personalities are diametrically opposed, one obeys Li Shan's words and the other ignores Li Shan, but it makes Li Shan feel the same tricky, the reform of the Tang Dynasty is really not so simple. (To be continued.) )
