Yesterday, Li Xi threatened to marry Li Fu'er, the princess of Xianyi, and Song Jing's granddaughter Song Guonu at the Yuzhen Annex.

Li Fu'er didn't mention it to anyone after returning to the palace, he just sat down and frowned, and Li Qing, the king of Shou, had already opened his mansion, so naturally it was impossible to go to Xingqing Palace to sue for this matter. But this afternoon, just when Li Xi went to another store and was still inviting Li Guangbi to drink, the news had already spread to Xingqing Palace.

Emperor Xuanzong was very unhappy when he heard about this incident from Gao Lishi.

Let's not say that the word marry is just a folk term, if you want to pair with a princess, you have to use the word "Shang", but in this regard, Li Xi's wild words are already a big violation of etiquette, but what makes Emperor Xuanzong angry the most is that Li Xi is young, but he has put on an attitude of not taking royal figures seriously several times.

Princess Xianyi is also her most beloved baby daughter, although in Emperor Xuanzong's selfishness, whether it is in terms of talent or appearance, or from being an official, and dealing with people, etc., Li Xi is worthy of his baby daughter, as for obstacles such as his low family background, he is not too valued by Emperor Xuanzong.

But Li Xi repeatedly put on such an attitude, as if as long as he wanted it, he would be a princess, and he could easily come to it, but he couldn't help but feel that his face was so dull.

Compared with this, I think of Li Xi as early as when he was the chief secretary of the small Jinyuan County, he had already dared to openly attack the prince Li Hong, not only humiliated Zhao Fengling and Cheng Gang in Shuzhou, but also directly put a huge charge on them, forcing Li Hong's side to be in a hurry, and even came up with a stupid trick to send someone to assassinate, and finally annoyed himself, just after the autumn, Cheng Gang was asked to behead.

Compared with this, he didn't take King Shou seriously from the beginning, but it was a trivial matter.

Thinking about it, it makes people feel a little headache before they know it.

In terms of foresight, just that one piece of the twist and turn is enough to make Emperor Xuanzong love him very much, and now this Cao Yun matter has only been in his hands for a few months, from the hasty foot to see the Jianghuai transfer envoy Si Yamen, to personally go all the way east to inspect, to propose to rebuild the Guangtong Canal, and then to the serious planning, and soon come up with three sets of plans, which can be regarded as the embodiment of his actual execution ability, fully demonstrating that his ability to actually do things is not inferior to his overall situation.

And the most commendable thing is that when he started to do things, he was very low-key, and when the whole dynasty, regardless of the officials, was running for each other for the selection of the new prime minister, he was seriously burying his head in things. This alone has already satisfied Emperor Xuanzong, who has always paid attention to practical work ability.

So for Li Xi, Emperor Xuanzong really likes it very much, in his own thoughts, Li Xi is young at this time, polish it for a few years, and when he is old, maybe he can be promoted, and he will be greatly used, and after his death, the new emperor will ascend the throne, with him, he can greatly ensure the smooth transfer of power and the continuation of national policies will not be challenged.

It can be said that although Emperor Xuanzong was still in the prime of life at this time, as long as he thought about what happened after his death, he would involuntarily think about Li Xi, and he was simply being cultivated as a person who could be entrusted to him.

Zhang Jiuling and others, ability, demeanor, prestige, etc., all have them, but they are too old, obviously not suitable for entrusting the future, think about it, among the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, who can be mixed up and spin under the emperor's nose all day long, which one has not survived to a lot of age in the bureaucratic system? Therefore, Li Xi is so young, has such an overall view, and has such practical execution ability, and does things without publicity, which is really very much to Emperor Xuanzong's appetite.

However, his arrogance and high-profile in other places besides official affairs, especially in making friends with the royal children, really made Emperor Xuanzong very sad.

Besides, you just made your attitude clear on the front foot, and you didn't want to be the royal concubine, which made Emperor Xuanzong make up his mind to enable you, and it was only a few months since the matter passed, and you turned your face and openly said that you wanted to marry Princess Xianyi, and you were so arrogant that you said that you wanted to marry another girl, what is this? Think the emperor is tricky? Or do you think that you can already have no scruples in front of the emperor just by doing such a small thing of luck?

Besides, you are still a princess, do you still want to take a concubine?

The vast Nanxun Hall was quiet, no one dared to speak, after Emperor Xuanzong received Gao Lishi's report, his mind was turning these chaotic thoughts, and he couldn't help but bring this angry emotion to his face.

Colliers has followed him for decades, and he is a character he calls "the slave of his old family", and when he sees the look on his face, he doesn't know what he is thinking.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Everyone, there is one more matter, the old slave also wants to report to you." ”

Emperor Xuanzong hummed angrily and said, "Something, say." ”

Gao Lishi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and said: "Just now, about two hours ago, Jingzhao Mansion, together with the county government of Wannian County, arrested Wei Min, the third son of Master Wei Xuanwei, Taichangqing, in a small wine shop. ”

As soon as he heard the name Wei Xuanzong, Emperor Xuanzong's impatient expression immediately became overwhelmed, raised his head and glanced at Gao Lishi, and asked, "Captured Wei Zhu's son?" Why? ”

As soon as Gao Lishi saw his reaction, he immediately knew that he was right to the point, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart at the moment, this Li Xi, it has only been half a year since he came to Chang'an, how can he grasp His Majesty's thoughts so accurately? Even he, the old slave next to His Majesty, never thought of any good way, but he had a meal, so he slapped Wei Min with a backhand, and directly got Wei Min up, and immediately grabbed Wei Min's shortcomings.

At the moment, he replied: "It is said that Wei Min has relied on his family background over the years, bullying men and women in Chang'an City, and this time he took a fancy to the daughter-in-law of the owner of the shop, and wanted to forcibly occupy it, but he happened to be bumped into by Li Xi, so Li Xi informed Jingzhao Mansion, Pei Yaoqing Pei Master Pei immediately sent someone to dispatch, and he was arrested in one fell swoop, and there are many people and physical evidence at the scene, it is said that the case is being tried, and after the old slave got the news, he also specially sent someone out to inquire, it seems that this Wei Min matter will not be fake. As soon as they heard that Wei Min was arrested, many families wanted to sue! ”

"Li Xi? Why is it him again? ”

Gao Lishi's case introduction has been said for a long time, but in the ears of Emperor Xuanzong, there is only such a name left.

This time, though, his face was not annoyed, but surprised.

Emperor Xuanzong is such a person, not only governing the world, he is a rare saint, but in the political struggle and court wrestling, he is also a rare hero, just such an idea, that is, the blink of an eye, he has already thought about the consequences of the previous situation almost thoroughly, therefore, for Li Xi to appear in this matter so coincidentally, suddenly picked up a scar of the Wei family, it is naturally impossible for him not to pay attention to it.

After a pause, he took the case, "Okay, Pei Yaoqing did a good job in this matter!" Hmph, it's too Changqing, he can't even control his own son, I want to ask, how does he, Taichangqing, discipline his son at home? ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked around the hall, waving his arms vigorously as he walked, unable to hide his excitement, "This matter, I will ask Pei Yaoqing when I go back, and let him do it seriously!" ”

At this time, perhaps because he had been troubled by some things for too long, Emperor Xuanzong was a little emotionally disturbed, so Gao Lishi lowered his head and calmly reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, although Lord Wei has failed to teach his son, as Taichangqing, he is still very competent. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Xuanzong listened to his words and stopped, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help but smile, nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, that's right, although Wei Ji's ability is average, it is still necessary to have him standing in this position." On the side of the East Palace, someone still needs to come out to help support the scene. Then go back and click with Pei Yaoqing, let him think about it, and it will be okay to hit it until it hurts, but it is not suitable to do it too much. ”

He was thorough at one point, and he immediately reminisced about it.

The crown prince is the crown prince set up by his own hands, no matter how they don't match, after all, he is the prince of twenty years, and he is the one who will inherit his throne in the future. I think that Wei Zhu was still under his own intentional or unintentional connivance, so he went over there, in order to pave the way for his future, but in the past two years, because Wei Zhen and his mutual help, they have chased all the way to the point where they can be qualified to compete for the position of prime minister, which makes me a little embarrassed.

But for this Wei Xuan, although the position of prime minister cannot be given to him, it cannot make him lose face, otherwise, he will lose face, and he will not be able to stay in the position of Taichangqing, and he will have to bother to arrange another humerus figure for the prince.

As soon as he thought of the crown prince Li Hong, he couldn't help but think of Li Xi again.

Although all the words in his mouth were praising Pei Yaoqing for doing a good job, Emperor Xuanzong was not confused, he knew that Li Xi was the most important character in this matter.

This kid is about ten years younger than Li Hong, which is really rare.

Thinking of this, perhaps because the matter that had puzzled him for a long time was suddenly solved, his mood was rarely happy, and at this time, in front of Gao Lishi, he couldn't help but sigh: "I sometimes can't help but think, if only I could have such a son, even after a hundred years, there will be nothing to worry about......"

Colliers raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Although Emperor Xuanzong didn't say his name, he could naturally hear that it was Li Xi. To be able to pop out of the emperor's mouth with this emotion is really a great compliment!

Thinking that when Cao Yingyao felt extremely helpless in his heart towards Jiangdong, he also sighed with emotion "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou", and the other party is the big opponent he can't bite down, Sun Quan of Wu State.

As a courtier, Li Xi can be so praised by Emperor Xuanzong, which is really rare.

It's just that although Emperor Xuanzong has such emotion in his mouth, his words are sad.

After thinking about it, Gao Lishi said: "Everyone, from the perspective of the old slave, although this Li Xi is a little arrogant, even if he disdains the whole world, as long as you are loyal to everyone, isn't it?" ”

Emperor Xuanzong was stunned when he heard this, and then, he didn't know what he thought, he felt a boom in his head, and couldn't help but suddenly raise his hand and point at Gao Lishi, his face full of surprise, "Ah, you mean ......"

"Father, can you no longer indulge this Nizi, think about it, then Li Xi even said such presumptuous words, he simply didn't take you and our family in his eyes, and this Nizi still has the face to find someone else...... You, say you, you're a girl, you're so old, but you don't know if you're ashamed? Let the family say that, and go out to find him, what are you looking for him to do? Let the family do it? Hmph......"

Song Jing said that in the courtyard where he often sat and sit, it was in the hall where Li Xi and Zhang Guolao went to the banquet together last time, Song Sheng complained to Song Jing with a bitter face for a while, and then turned his head to stare at Song Guonu who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but scold a few words.

The matter of Li Xi's wild words also quickly spread to the Song family.

With Song Sheng's good cultivation and his perception of Li Xi, he still couldn't help but be angry after hearing it. Then he ordered Song Guonu to be locked up, and without him, Song Guonu was not allowed to leave the house for half a step. As a result, it was only a morning, and in the afternoon, the next person came to tell her, saying that Miss Guo was going out, and she had obtained the permission of the old man, so Song Sheng had no choice but to take Song Guonu to sue his father Song Jing.

Listening to him talk angrily for a long time, Song Jing didn't say anything, and at the end, seeing that he was finished, he raised his head, squinted at him, and asked: "Li Xi said wildly, there are not only your daughters, but also Your Majesty's daughters, right?" Then, let me ask you, has your majesty ever been angry? ”

Not to mention, just this sentence, immediately stopped Song Sheng.

The monstrous anger was stagnant, and he subconsciously replied: "Your Majesty has heard about such things, and there is no one who is not angry?" Having said that, his tone was not too sure, so he couldn't help but be a little suspicious when he said it.

If you think about it carefully, it's right, the heroine of this matter is not just her own daughter, there is also a princess on the royal side, if even Huang Yanjing is not annoyed, how can she be qualified to be annoyed?

Seeing that he hesitated when he spoke, Song Jing couldn't help but sigh.

Then, he turned to look at Song Guonu who was kneeling on the ground with a smile, and saw her cute appearance of being aggrieved, obviously not daring to refute his father's words, but he couldn't help but have some careful thoughts in his heart.

"Guonu, listen to grandpa, don't go out these two days, come and play chess with grandpa, okay? Grandpa promises, after a while, you will get your wish! ”

This is said ambiguously, let alone Song Guonu, even Song Sheng can't understand it.

However, after all, it is a matter of concern, Song Guonu can still vaguely hear some of his grandfather's meaning, and listening to him, it seems that it is not impossible for him to marry Li Xi?

Out of super trust in his grandfather, Song Guonu hesitated for a while, then nodded obediently.

He also knew that at the moment, Li Xi's words were only circulating in a small area, and if once it spread, he took the initiative to find Li Xi, it would not have a lot of impact on his reputation.

Seeing him nodding, Song Jing smiled, "Good, now you go out first, grandpa has something to say to your father, you can come over to play chess with grandpa later, okay?" ”

Song Guonu nodded again, got up by himself, and walked out with his skirt.

When he went out, Song Jing raised his arm and said to Song Sheng: "Come here, take me." Song Sheng went over to hold his arm, and the old man stood up with his strength, moved his legs and feet, and then said slowly: "Today, only Your Majesty can convince you." There are two that can make me willing to break and intersect, and I can't help but admire them, but there are two, do you know who they are? ”

Song Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to this, but he still thought about it for a while and replied, "I'm afraid that there is such a Mr. Zhang Guo among them?" ”

Song Jing nodded when he heard this, "There is another one, that is the great monk Mo Yan who came to our house a few times ago some time ago. ”

As he spoke, he laughed, "This monk is not an ordinary person!" ”

Song Sheng also nodded when he heard this, "Although my son is not qualified to make friends with them, I can still feel that they are all the kind of characters who can peek into the heavens, and they are comparable to ordinary husbands and ordinary people." ”

Song Jing looked at him with a smile when he heard this, and seemed to be very satisfied with his evaluation, in fact, among the six sons, only this eldest son, Song Sheng, could make the old man look at it.

So he said: "This summer, the great monk Mo Yan suddenly came to the door, please ask me for something, you know, who is he running for?" ”

Song Sheng was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, seemed to be recalling the scene at that time, and then frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that it was Master Mo Yan who gave you the idea that you were able to tell you to grow old?" Could it be ......"

Song Jing nodded when he heard this, "He's here for this Li Xi." ”

Song Sheng was shocked when he heard this.

Before he could think about it, Song Jing had already continued: "Monk Mo Yan told me frankly that this Li Xi is a person with a unique personality, even he can't see through it, and he also said that there will be a catastrophe in the future Datang, and whether it can be survived smoothly depends on this Li Xi." Therefore, he asked me to help pull Li Xi in general, and then, he went to Zhang Guo to play chess, and the two of them were born for more than 30 days in a game of chess, and in the end Zhang Guo threw himself in defeat, and the price of losing this game of chess was that he wanted to accept Li Xi as his own disciple......"

Song Sheng couldn't turn his mind around for a long time when he heard this, but he said hesitantly: "The catastrophe? This...... Could it be that Master Mo Yan is a little alarmist? ”

Song Jing glanced at him and said lightly: "If it's just him who says this, the matter is still between the two sides, but what if even Zhang Guo agrees with his statement?" ”

Song Sheng was speechless.

Speaking of this, the old man Song Jing began to slowly turn the topic back again, and said: "You are not young now, don't just look at the surface of things, you say, let's not mention the importance that this Mo Yan and Zhang Guo attach to Li Xi, but only what you can see with your eyes, this Li Xi is an official who behaves like a wandering and ignorant child?" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at his son and couldn't help but continue to mention, "If you think about it carefully, with his cleverness, is it possible for him to do this kind of stupid thing that will obviously annoy countless people?" Then why do you want to marry Princess Xianyi and Guonu back home, if he says it, you will believe it, and you will be angry? ”

"This ......" Song Sheng was already full of confusion at this time, but he subconsciously felt that what his father said made sense, but why did it make sense? Where is it? He couldn't figure it out.

seems to know that his son's wisdom is limited, so when he speaks to him, some topics can't be too deep, if it's too deep, then you must give him a thorough point, otherwise let him think about it for himself, maybe he won't be able to figure it out after ten days and half a month. So Song Jing said again: "Li Xi is not as stupid as you think, don't look at him young, there are a lot of twists and turns in his belly." ”

moved freely in the room for a while, walking back and forth to relax his muscles and bones, which made him feel much more comfortable, but after all, people are old, and the breath in his body is a little insufficient, so after walking around, he still went to sit on a chair, and then beckoned, motioning for Song Sheng to come and sit beside him.

Waiting for Song Sheng to sit down, he continued to mention this son who was the only one he had to use to continue the glory of the family, "It can be seen that Li Xi has great ambitions, but he is too young, even His Majesty knows his ability, and if he wants to reuse him, he has to come step by step, the reason why he is asked to do the things of Cao Yun is that he has not accumulated some credit for him, and also has the intention of accumulating some prestige, but, for some reason, this Li Xi seems to be very unwilling to slowly survive step by step, and slowly accumulate qualifications and prestige, From the very beginning of his official career, he was very anxious......"

Speaking of this, Song Jing also frowned slightly, "What is he anxious about?" I don't know, maybe only Zhang Guo and the great monk Mo Yan can say something. Let's leave him alone for now, just talk about his impatience. He is young, and his qualifications can't hold people down, but he is anxious to hurry up, what should he do? Then you have to find another way! ”

Hearing this, Song Sheng seemed to have a slight recovery, but he couldn't help frowning and said, "Find another way?" Do you offend people everywhere and clean them up? Even if it's a different way? ”

Song Jing looked at his son with a puzzled face with a smile when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: That's why you can only be the son of the prime minister, and although you are young, it is very likely that you will be on stage to worship the prime minister in the near future! Everyone has done it, but you have to think hard for a long time and can't understand why they do it!

How big should this gap be?

He looked at Song Sheng and said, "You're right, but it's not entirely true. He has offended many people, offended the prince, offended King Shou, maybe he offended Concubine Hui this time, oh, by the way, he also offended you! ”

"Uh......" Song Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, so far, after the old man explained and mentioned it so patiently, although he still had a lot of confusion in his mind, but the anger just now had already disappeared, but where would he still be annoyed by Li Xi, at this time, hearing the old man say this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Then, Old Man Song Jing stared at his eyes with blazing eyes, and said almost word by word: "However, don't forget, he doesn't have to be afraid to offend everyone in the world, because, as long as His Majesty likes him, it will be enough!" ”

"Uh......" Song Sheng was completely stunned when he heard this.

After going around for a long time, it turned out that the old man meant to point here.

But until now, he still doesn't understand, Li Xi clearly doesn't take the princes and princesses seriously, for such a wanton offense to his own children, and even some people who don't take themselves seriously, how can His Majesty the Emperor like him? How is that possible?

He couldn't help but ask the question.

Song Jing squinted his eyes and smiled when he heard this, but he said another sentence that made Song Sheng think about it for a long time and couldn't recall it, but after understanding it, he benefited him for life.

The old man said: "It is precisely because Li Xi does not take the princes and princesses in his eyes that His Majesty likes him and dares to use him with confidence!" Sheng'er, this is the way to be an official! You see, it won't be long before Li Xi will definitely ascend to the sky in one step! ”

Li Xi likes Li Guangbi very much.

chatted at the banquet, and then learned that he was a Khitan, and his ancestors had been the chiefs of the Khitan, and his ancestral home was Liucheng, Yingzhou, but because he had been getting along with a group of soldiers in Henan Province since he was a child, he learned a Henan dialect.

In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, his father Li Kailuo worshiped Zuo Yulin, the general Tongzheng, Shuo Fang Jiedu, the deputy envoy, and was named the Duke of Jiguo, known for his Xiaoguo. In the sixteenth year of Kaiyuan, Li Guangbi, who was only eighteen years old, followed his father to serve the country from Rong and served as Zuo Weilang. Three years ago, his father died, his father was worried, and he returned to his hometown to bury his father, and he kept mourning until the filial piety period had passed, and after settling down the family's affairs, he came to Chang'an again, wanting to find an official position, but he didn't want to just arrive in Chang'an, and he encountered this incident.

The name Li Guangbi makes Li Xi feel familiar, but maybe there are too many things in his mind today, and Li Xi can't remember whether there was such a character in the Tang Dynasty, but even if this person is not qualified to appear in the history textbook, just looking at his skills, you can know that this person is not an ordinary person, so Li Xi has the idea of wooing.

A heavy drink, coupled with the previous events, made both parties have a good impression of each other, so they drank and drank, and the two spoke more affectionately than one sentence.

After drinking, Li Xi took Gao Sheng and Geng Xin all the way to send Li Guangbi to the inn where he stayed, the two separated at the door of the inn, and made an appointment to say that Li Xi would come to him tomorrow, and then turn the carriage and go back.

(To be continued)
