Chapter 233: Parting Again
"General, this is already the third edict."
Shen Shixing looked at the holy decree in Li Shan's hand and was very worried.
Since Li Shan secretly Chen Cang helped Meng Shezhao defeat the other three edicts, Chang'an immediately came to the edict, asking Li Shan to immediately resign as a general and return to Beijing to confess.
However, Li Shan has always refused to return to Beijing on the grounds that the general will not accept the orders of the foreign monarch.
Li Shan was worried about Qing'er and Long Xueling's comfort, and Li Shan knew that Qing'er's real opponent was not Sanzhao, but Pi Luo Ge. He can't go back now, he's going to wait, until Piloco dies.
"Report, Yue Xi edict came to report, Pi Luo Ge died, and the throne passed to Pi Luo Ge's son Ge Luofeng."
Li Shan clenched the holy decree in his hand, and said in a calm and powerful voice: "Immediately straighten out the military horses and prepare to return to Beijing." ”
Shen Shixing looked at Li Shan's appearance and sighed, others didn't understand him, but he knew it very well. Although Shen Shixing didn't know why Li Shan did this, he also guessed nine times out of ten. Li Shan has always attached great importance to affection and righteousness, so there is no need to think that Li Shan must be helping someone.
Shin Shixing has always admired Li Shan's character, and he also regarded Li Shan as a friend, which is why he always called Li Shan by his name instead of calling him a general.
He knew that Li Shan didn't want an identity gap between his friends and him.
Long Xueling finally came out of the palace of Mengshe Zhao, and Qing'er sent someone to send her to Yaozhou, Li Shan's handsome tent.
"Xue Ling," Li Shan hugged Long Xue Ling tightly into his arms, "I've made you suffer in the past few months. ”
With tears in her eyes, Long Xueling snuggled tightly in Li Shan's arms and shook her head: "Don't be bitter, I thought you were dead, I was very happy when I knew you were still alive, as long as you are alive, it is more important than anything else." I have decided that from today onwards, I will follow you wherever you go, and I will not leave you for a single step. ”
Li Shan's heart warmed, in the past, Long Xueling was disgusted with going home with Li Shan, there were Su Jinxi and Liu Ruyan at home, and their sisters still had resistance. Long Xueling didn't want to see them, and they didn't want Long Xueling to come into their lives.
But this incident made Long Xueling change her opinion, she doesn't care about Li Shan's women now, she also knows about Qing'er and Li Shan's affairs, and accepts it, and she has become friends with Qing'er. So she also decided to get along with Liu Ruyan and Su Jinxi.
But Li Shan shook his head, grabbed Long Xueling's shoulder and said, "No, you can't follow me back now." ”
Long Xueling was originally full of joy, but when she heard that Li Shan didn't let her follow, she was immediately heartbroken: "Why? Could it be that the lady of your house does not accept me? You don't dare take me back? Then I can't live in your house. Or do you like the new and hate the old and don't want me anymore? ”
As soon as Li Shan heard it, Long Xueling misunderstood, and quickly touched the tears on her face and explained: "Where do you want to go, you are my woman, and I will never abandon you." If I don't want you, who am I coming to Nanzhao for? But now I disobeyed the emperor's orders and helped Qing'er usurp the power of Nanzhao. I will definitely be severely punished when I return to Beijing this time, and I don't know what the emperor will do with me, once you appear in Chang'an, you will definitely become the target of public criticism. Now the emperor doesn't know why I disobeyed the emperor's order in Nanzhao, but if you go back with me, the emperor will definitely do his best to investigate you. In this way, you and I will be in danger, for the sake of today, you still have to stay in Nanzhao with Qing'er, and I can rest assured that Qing'er will protect you. ”
Long Xueling pouted dissatisfied, and said, "It really made Qing'er guess, how can what you say exactly the same as what she said?" Did you two negotiate and partner to deceive me? ”
Qing'er expected it, Li Shan was not surprised at all, Qing'er was an insider, and she was so smart, so she naturally thought of Li Shan's approach.
It seems that Long Xueling is also mentally prepared, and Li Shan comforted: "Okay, this is also a helpless move." I promise you, as long as the turmoil over in Chang'an has passed, I will immediately send someone to pick you up, okay? ”
Long Xueling also knew that there was no way, Long Xueling was not a person who was used to being coquettish, what Li Shan said made sense, she would listen, even if she didn't want to.
Long Xueling took out a letter from her arms and said, "Here you go, this is what Qing'er asked me to hand over to you, she said that she has too many things to deal with now, and she can't take the time to send you, so let me bring this letter to you." ”
Li Shan opened the envelope, and on it was Qing'er Junxiu's handwriting:
Li Shan, thanks to your help this time, I can get what I want, and the concubine is not grateful, but waits for the king's return. Tang Xuanzong was the ruler of the world, and the concubine did not dare to match him, and stole the land of Nanzhao in order to settle down. It is also the way for the husband to retreat, and the companion is like a tiger, and the husband will inevitably suffer from prison when he returns to Beijing this time. The husband has no foundation in the court, and there is little help, and if he is framed by the villain, it may be difficult to turn over.
The concubine has two points of advice, one is the benefits of the unification of the six edicts, and the concubine will write to the Tang Dynasty to claim the ministers and cooperate with the husband. Second, contact the important ministers of the court to intercede for yourself, once the husband is imprisoned, it is difficult to ensure that no one is in the way, be sure to check up and down, and ensure that your words go straight to heaven, so as not to be slandered and difficult to understand.
If he is severely punished this time, he must not be discouraged, let alone be cynical and not expressed. As long as Taoguang is obscure, the husband has the talent of a general, and he will be reused in the future. The concubine also persuaded her husband that the ups and downs of officialdom are not the husband's return after all, and the hills and valleys in the husband's chest are far greater than the court, so he can also take this opportunity to introspect himself, hoping that the husband will find his own way back.
Qing'er worships and takes care of everything.
Qing'er has a long-term vision and a delicate mind, and has already thought of the main points of things for Li Shan, Li Shan can't help but sigh, having a smart wife is also a good thing, at least you don't have to use your brain all day long. It's just that this smart wife is disobedient, but she plays herself around every time, and she is also distressed.
Long Xueling looked at Li Shan's sighing expression after reading the letter, and said: "Qing'er is really thinking about her husband, although I don't understand your affairs, but I feel it, what's so good about being an official, and I am scared every day." In my opinion, this official is not appropriate, you can bring your family to Yunnan, where the mountains and rivers are good, and how comfortable life is! ”
Li Shan is indeed very excited, to be honest, life here is indeed very leisurely, Cangshan and Erhai are pregnant with a quiet and atmosphere, which makes Li Shan's heart fascinated.
But now is not the time, Li Shan can't let go, or he is still unwilling, he feels that he has not improved the lives of the Tang Dynasty people, and has not affected the fate of the Tang Dynasty, she doesn't want to see the Anshi Rebellion, she doesn't want to see the fall of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, there were many hidden dangers, and Li Shan now understood something, he felt that he had the ability to change all this, and he couldn't sit idly by.
Li Shan stroked Long Xueling's white face and smiled: "Give me a little more time, there are some things I haven't done yet, I'm not reconciled." I promise you, I won't let anything happen to you. After this period of time, I will take you to Chang'an, and in a few years, I will finish what I want to do, and I will resign from my official position to accompany you to Yunnan, and we will live on the shore of Erhai Lake and live the life of a hermit, okay? ”
Long Xueling nodded, but there was still a faint worry in her eyes. Under the eyes of Long Xueling, Li Shan left Yaozhou with Shen Shixing and others and rushed to the capital. In the past, Li Shan's life was too smooth, everyone held him and protected him, but this time, it was difficult for anyone to protect him anymore. (To be continued.) )
