The harmony of the monarch and the minister on the surface cannot hide the widening gap in private.

First of all, Yang Hao couldn't see Li Yan's face for three days after entering the city, and then the pavilion was surrounded by the Jinwuwei regiment, Lu Rui quietly asked Yang Hao if the emperor wanted to put him under house arrest, Yang Hao said calmly: "The palace has six armies to guard, Fang looks majestic, your husband entered the city, and there was not even a guard at the door, isn't it too shameless." ”

Lu Rui asked him if he was not worried at all, Yang Hao said that there was nothing to worry about, he dared to be unfavorable to me, and Chang'an City could not be saved, Lu Rui said: "You lie, you are not afraid, why did you disarm in a hurry last night, when you are mighty, you can toss for half an hour." ”

Yang Hao looked at him left and right, and said: "I'm afraid that the water and soil are not adaptable, you see how the water in Chang'an City is as good as ours, it must be like this." ”

Lu Rui held his face and said seriously: "Even if you can't go back from now on, I am willing to accompany you until the end of my life." Yang Hao hugged her and said with tears: "Good madam, if I die, I will allow you to remarry after three years of filial piety." ”

The hated Lu Rui was beaten with a fist, and all the greetings were on him.

After staying in a post house outside Chang'an City for ten days, Li Yan summoned Yang Hao in Hanguang Palace, and the eunuch took Yang Hao through the dusty polo field to His Highness Hanguang.

Li Yan, the leader of the Flying Dragons team, who was wearing a dragon jersey, was washing his face, he had just finished a game, he was full of mud and sweat at the moment, he just wiped his face, and sat there, fanned him by a few eunuchs, Yang Hao stood in front of him, squinting, looking at the sunset, looking at the yellow dust in the sky, looking at the dusty emperor, and only remembered to salute him for a while.

Li Yan said: "Excuse me, it's up to you to be reluctant." ”

This said, Yang Hao even waived the bow salute, and gave Li Yan a greeting gift for the Khitan people when they saw the elders.

Li Yan snorted and sneered: "When did I become a Khitan? ”

Yang Hao replied: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, the Khan of the sky, and the minister has been in Hu for a long time and has become a Hu person." ”

Li Yan said: "It's true that you are the commander of the Khitan Wukui Department, but you are also the county prince of the Tang Dynasty, the marshal of the Northwest Fifth Army, and my vassal, you are a courtier who saw me as an emperor, knelt down and wronged you, do you know how many people here want to see you overstepping the courtesy and preparing to kill you." ”

When Yang Hao heard this, he smiled helplessly, knelt down again, and bowed again and again with the courtesy of his subordinates. ”

Yang Hao sat down, drank tea, and the attendant retreated knowingly.

Li Yan first said: "Eight years ago, right here, the first emperor's brother overthrew Wang Shoucheng, opened the prelude to the assassination of the horse battalion to eliminate the eunuch party, today, you and I here and overthrow the former great hero Qiu Shiliang, set the border, remove the eunuch, cut the domain, and prosper the Tang Dynasty, this is the three major purposes of the establishment of the assassin horse camp. ”

Yang Hao said: "Although His Majesty did not participate in the suppression of the rebellion in Zelu Town, he also participated in the cutting of the domain, and His Majesty came here, with his wife and concubine, and begged the emperor to give him a mansion, and he has lived in Chang'an since then." ”

Li Yan said: "Speaking of which, you have become a meritorious man, and you have cut yourself off, then I want to reward you well, you are already a county prince, I will promote you to a level, and make you a county king, your brand of the generalissimo of the Northwest Fifth Army is still kept, with it is enough to sit on an equal footing with the three fairs, the famous weapons of the imperial court, I can give you, almost all of them are given to you, and now if I want to keep your people and keep your heart, it seems that I have to move my ass and hand over the real power of the chief manager to you." ”

Yang Hao knelt on the ground and bowed: "Your Majesty is complete." ”

Li Yan sneered: "Don't be too happy, even if I give you everything, the Baoli Society is not completely in your hands, do you understand." ”

Yang Hao said: "Your Majesty gave the minister, the minister is grateful, Your Majesty did not give it to the minister, but the minister deserves it, the minister will fight for it himself, and he does not dare to ask His Majesty to work hard." ”

Li Yan jumped up and said: "Okay, this is what you asked for, I didn't force you, I will let you be the chief manager, I will let you be the chief manager for the rest of your life, until you die, even if the sky falls, you are not allowed to resign, you will listen to me, I want to cut the domain, I want to dominate the world, revive the prestige of my old Tang Dynasty, if you want the world to be unified, the four societies must be united, and the Thorn Horse Battalion can no longer go their separate ways, I also want to tell you that the Son of Heaven has no selfish family, and the chief manager cannot hide his secrets, your northwest soldiers and horses, I want to use them, and your inner temple must be disbanded for me within a time limit." ”

After these received a positive response from Yang Hao, Li Yan bent down to help him up and said, "Tonight, I will set up a banquet for you by the Taiye Pool, I will serve the place and wine, and you will prepare the dishes, it is not to my taste, I will severely punish you." ”

Yang Hao asked: "Your Majesty who is waiting for the ministers is satisfied." ”

Li Yan smiled and said, "Then I have a great reward for you." ”

At the end of the night banquet in Taiye Pool, Yang Hao knelt on the ground and asked Li Yan to allow him and his wife to live in the capital for a long time.

Yang Hao said with tears: "The minister led the troops to beg for thieves when he was young, Lai Emperor Hongfu, now the border has stopped, and the minister also falls into a disease, every rainy day, it hurts into the bone marrow, the clothes and armor are difficult to match, the fingers are stiff, it is difficult to hold the sword, the minister is not old and decrepit, and he can no longer gallop the field for His Majesty, and the prancing horse is on the side, and the minister asks His Majesty to be gracious and let the ministers return to Beijing to support them all year round." ”

Yang Hao's crying voice was full of emotion, although it made people feel weird, but they couldn't believe it, and when they heard the crying again, it was Li Yan who shed tears, and Li Yan even cried: "Qing is worried about the country, how can I bear to bear Qing, Qing but go back to Chang'an to recuperate, the northwest military affairs are remotely led, I will build a palace for you in the city, and the county mansion in the northwest will be left for him to go again." ”

After Li Yan said this, he recalled with tears the past merits of Yang Hao's father Yang Qing, and talked about Yang Hao's contributions to the country, one by one, not only the ministers, wives, and concubines who said were moved, but even Yang Hao himself was surprised, and he still had a vague memory of many things he had done over the years, but Li Yan could remember it clearly.

After Li Yan recalled the merits of Yang Men and his son, he asked Yang Hao: "In Chang'an City, Qing can choose his own land, fancy which piece, I will build it for you, and I will also choose a capable internal servant, a capable female official to be in charge of your house." ”

Yang Hao played: "The former residence of the minister in Chongrenfang Xining Marquis Mansion, please return it to Your Majesty, and the minister will expand it slightly to become a new house." ”

Li Yan asked Li Deyu: "Who is using the Xining Hou Mansion now?" ”

Li Deyu said: "The soldiers and horses are here." ”

Li Yan said: "Hu Lai, are you here today?" ”

A fat official rolled out of the minister, and said on the ground: "Minister, come here, pay homage to Your Majesty." ”

Li Yan said: "I want to pay to buy your mansion and return it to the king of Xining, are you willing?" ”

Hu Lai said in a panic: "The minister didn't dare to ask His Majesty for an advance, and the minister was willing to give it to the county king." ”

Li Yan said: "I bought you and gave it to the king of the county, it is my favor, you gave it to the king of the county, it is you who bear the favor, how can you be so ignorant, I want you to be cold, you can afford to buy such a large mansion after only a few years in Beijing, you must be a corrupt official, come to someone, remove him from his official position, and hand it over to the department to strictly investigate and punish the crime." ”

When Hu Lai heard this, he didn't come up in one breath, and he fainted with a squeak.

The night feast ended unhappily.

Li Yan sent the inner palace car to drive the three back to the post house, and on the way, Lu Rui asked Yang Hao: "Is Your Majesty drunk tonight, why is he so out of shape, this is not like the appearance of the Son of Heaven." Yang Hao glanced at her and said nothing.

Lu Rui hurriedly patted his mouth lightly with his hand, and said softly and slowly: "Palm, palm." He also softly recited the words that Yang Hao confessed to her before entering Beijing: "The capital is not better than the northwest, don't do things if you can, don't do what you can, don't say what you can, be cautious, be cautious, be cautious, be careful, be careful, be careful." ”

Yang Hao saw that her face was red and bright, her eyes were full of spring water, and he couldn't bear to blame her heavily, so he just pinched her leg.

Li Xin was drunk, and when she heard Lu Rui speak, she took over the conversation and said, "I think that His Majesty the Emperor is a true temperament and is not fake." ”

didn't finish a sentence, covered his mouth and jumped out of the car, vomiting on the side of the road, Lu Rui made a grimace at Yang Hao, reluctantly got out of the car, pinched his nose with one hand, gently patted Li Xin's back with the other, and said in his mouth: "Princess, you are also really temperamental, so you cried uncontrollably." ”

After Li Xin vomited, she felt much better, seeing Yang Haoyuan gossiping with a few palace people on the side, she felt a little unhappy, and listened to Lu Rui's words with a gun and a stick, her heart suddenly became angry, she glared at her, and ordered Yang Mei and Yang Mu: "Take this cheap maid down for me." ”

Yang Mei saw Lu Rui pinching her nose and patting her master on the back, she was already angry, but when she heard this, she smiled coldly, pounced, hugged Lu Rui, twisted her arm, and pressed her down.

Lu Rui never thought that Li Xin would turn his face when he said it, and Yang Mei would beat it when she said it, and she was stunned all of a sudden, until she was pressed to the ground by Yang Mei and Yang Mu, and then she cried out for bitterness.

A few escorted eunuchs saw this posture, one by one jumped to persuade each other, this kind of situation in the palace to see a lot, are not strange, a few people are babbling, people did not come first, the momentum is full, but no one moves.

Li Xin shook the cane that Li Yan rewarded her, and shouted at a few eunuchs: "You see it's real, this is given to me by His Majesty's Emperor, and even the county king beat it, do you want to try it too." ”

Several eunuchs took advantage of the situation to lie on the ground, bowed down to the stick, and thought to themselves: "I'm stupid, come up and let you beat." ”

Li Xin frightened off the eunuch, walked behind Lu Rui with a stick in his hand, and sneered: "In the past, you were you, I was me, our well water did not interfere with river water, but now Your Majesty has made me a princess and granted me the right to beat the backyard with a stick, you still dare to laugh at me, are I really a bully." ”

Wang Lu Rui's fat thigh was kicked, and he was about to hit with a stick.

Yang Hao shouted: "Stop." Striding over and shouting, "Give me the stick." ”

Li Xin panicked, hid the stick behind him, and shouted, "Don't give it, this is your majesty's reward for me." ”

"Your Majesty gave you a stick to let you be my housekeeper, I can't let you take care of it when I'm not at home, I'm here, can you be presumptuous." Li Xin had no idea when he ate his bluff, and was about to hand over the stick, when Yang Mei shouted: "Your Majesty said that if he loses you, this stick can also beat him." ”

Li Xin was overjoyed when she heard this, and waved her stick to look at Yang Hao and greeted her, Yang Hao was still shouting at first, seeing that she was not really beating lightly or seriously, she also panicked, hugged her head and said: "Good men don't fight with women, you evil woman, I want to divorce you." ”

With the big stick in hand, Li Xin smiled fearlessly: "Your Majesty has named me the princess, you can take a break if you want, which one is bigger between you and Your Majesty." "Don't give up, Yang Hao, who is chasing, is running around.

The joke that the king of Xining County was chased and beaten by his wife after the night banquet quickly spread throughout the capital.

Those who have good deeds have also turned over the anecdotes of the "Eight Horses of Chang'an" in the past, added oil and vinegar, and made up new jokes for idlers to talk about after tea and dinner.

After a long time, the king of Xining County, who lived in the northwest corner of Chongrenfang, who had half of the Son of Heaven Luan, became a man who was afraid of his wife, did not learn and did not know, and was naughty and mischievous.

All this misunderstanding did not disappear until the two of them entered the Xining County Mansion.

These two people have long been famous in the capital, one of them is called Wang Chun, and the other is Zhang Yingying.
