readx; Wei Tao's arrival was expected by Li Qing'an, Wei Jiansu was taken away by the Guanzhong Army, regardless of whether he was released or not, but once he was convicted of fornicating with the Southern Dynasty, his position as a military squire could not be kept no matter what, Wei Jiansu was dismissed, which would be a heavy blow to the Wei family, and it was strange that Wei Tao didn't come to him Li Qing'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Let him in!"

After a while, Wei Tao hurriedly walked in, he bowed and saluted, "See the general!" ”

"Wei Envoy Jun is here for Wei Shilang's matter?"

This time Li Qingan did not go around in circles, but went straight to the point, the circle that should have been rounded has been bypassed in the morning, and at this moment Li Qingan needs to use a concise method to appease Wei Tao's anxious heart and give him hope.

Wei Tao took the teacup handed by the soldier, drank the tea in one go, and said eagerly: "General, please tell me how serious the situation is?" ”

"Serious?" Li Qingan smiled, "It depends on who you are talking to, it is not serious for us, and it may still be a good thing, but for Jian Guo and Wang Heng, I'm afraid the matter is a bit serious." ”

Wei Tao was stunned, and only hesitated for a while: "What does the general mean to say, is there nothing wrong with Wei Jiansu?" ”

"No!"

Li Qingan denied: "Wei Jiansu fornicated with Li Longji and betrayed the secrets of the Guanzhong Army, the crime is unforgivable, this is why I did not prevent him from being arrested, he should be arrested and convicted, but Wei Jiansu was arrested, I will compensate the Wei family, and double the compensation." ”

"Can the general make it clear?"

"Don't leak it!"

Li Qingan put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly: "You wait patiently for a few more days, a month at the latest, and you will see the results." ”

．．．．．．．．． Chengdu Mansion has been renamed Shujing at this time, for Li Longji's capital, although there is no majestic palace group in Chang'an, but there is a palace covering a large area in the north of the city, this palace was originally the palace of the king of Shu, it is a palace specially built for himself after the king of Shu Li Jian entered Shu, covering an area of more than 200 acres, the water is murmuring, you can see strange flowers and plants everywhere, the palace is elegant and chic, hidden in the dense trees, although there is no majesty of the Daming Palace, but exquisite and luxurious, but it is better than the Daming Palace.

After Li Longji entered Chengdu, this palace was renamed Nanming Palace, the palace where Li Longji lived, and the original hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were changed to serve Li Longji, although there is a warm and delicate climate in Shu, although the brocade clothes and jade food are the same as in the past, although the palace is enough for Li Longji to live a fairy-like life, but Li Longji misses Chang'an, misses his Daming Palace, his Xingqing Palace, misses his 40,000 harem, and the satisfaction of possessing thousands of women is enough to give him a sense of accomplishment in the world. None of them felt that way.

Li Longji has been in an extremely bad mood in the past few days, and he has received news that hundreds of small countries in the Western Regions have sent princes or envoys to Chang'an to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, but only Nanzhao sent a prince to his Chengdu.

Wanbang came to the dynasty, because this should belong to him Li Longji's honor, but now he was snatched away by his great-grandson, a little emperor who was not yet an adult, and he, the old emperor who ruled the Tang Dynasty for forty years, was driven in a corner, this strong sense of loss made Li Longji feel a lot of sadness, and he vented his anger on the palace maids and eunuchs all day long.

Yang Guozhong walked quickly past the Zichen Palace, he looked at this small palace about the size of his guest hall, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, is this also worthy of being called the Zichen Palace? The palace in front of it, which can only accommodate more than 1,000 people, is also called Hanyuan Palace, it seems that Li Longji is really a little crazy, and regards this place as Daming Palace.

Yang Guozhong shook his head, walked into the inner palace quickly, and said to the two guards at the entrance of the inner palace corridor: "Please report to the saint, just say that I have something important and should report to him immediately." ”

The guard had a bitter face and whispered to Yang Guozhong: "Yang Xiangguo, it's better to wait for tomorrow!" The saint is furious again, and today a palace maid was killed. ”

"What's wrong with him?" Yang Guozhong frowned.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the palace maid forgot to put sugar in the bird's nest porridge he served, and his old man was furious, saying that the palace maid also bullied him, so he dragged the palace maid out and beat him to death."

"Then do you have any names like Wu Niangniang?"

"It's useless, I heard that even Wu Niangniang was slapped by him, and now the harem is crying!"

Yang Guozhong scratched the back of his head and said, "You still go to report for me, just say that I brought him good news." ”

"Okay, Xiangguo wait, I'll report it."

Yang Guozhong paced back and forth at the entrance of the corridor with his hands behind his back, he was a little upset, this afternoon, he received a letter from his eldest son Yang Xuan sent someone urgently, in fact, it was Li Qingan who issued a new task, and now Yang Guozhong felt that he had become Li Qing'an's puppet, instructing him to do this and that, as if everything was taken for granted, he Yang Guozhong was a slave, but he didn't do it, his son was in Li Qing'an's hands, where is this leaving a way back, it is clearly Li Qing'an's hostage, when he thought of this, Yang Guozhong was angry, He didn't like the feeling of being played with by Li Qing'an, but he was helpless.

And this Li Longji also made him upset for a while, it stands to reason that he is the emperor, he should only ask about major matters, and the general ordinary government affairs will be managed by him Yang Guozhong, but Li Longji is not like this, he has to ask about everything, everything has to be managed, and he has to hold on to any power, if he has enough energy, it will be enough, but he is in poor health, and he can't do anything, so that many important matters are inconclusive, and after a long time, it will be over, such as checking the household registration rent, this matter is quite urgent, However, he had already handed over the plan and the personnel had already been arranged, but Li Longji just refused to approve it, making it difficult to carry out the household registration check.

What's even worse is Li Longji's difficulty, if he cares about a thing, he has to break the casserole and ask to the end, so that Yang Guozhong is tired and paranoid to explain, Yang Guozhong sighed secretly, Gao Lishi told him that now Li Longji has become very stubborn, and it is almost impossible to persuade him to change the things he decides, sometimes he is extremely shrewd, and sometimes he is as stupid as a pig.

At this time, the guards rushed out and said, "Yang Xiangguo, the Holy Lord has summoned you to meet you!" ”

Yang Guozhong had a headache, he didn't want to see Li Longji, but this damn Li Qingan forced him to see him, he tidied up his clothes, and walked quickly to the inner palace.

As soon as I walked to Li Longji's dormitory, I heard Li Longji's scolding, "Did I say I wanted to drink ice bird's nest?" Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, why don't you ask me in advance, deceive me and grow old? ”

The back of Yang Guozhong's neck became a little cold, he bared his teeth, poked his head into the palace, and saw more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in the palace, trembling with flock of flocks of sheep, Li Longji hunched his back, his eyes showed a fierce light, staring at these palace maids and eunuchs like a wild wolf.

Yang Guozhong suddenly didn't want to look for Li Longji, Li Qingan's matter was another day, he turned around and was about to leave, but the guard made a long report: "Yang Xiangguo has arrived!" ”

Yang Guozhong almost didn't fall, he sighed secretly, hung his head and turned around, waiting for the summons.

"Your Majesty has a decree to summon Yang Xiangguo to meet you."

Yang Guozhong had no choice but to walk towards the hall, walked to the door, and only heard Li Longji scolding angrily, "Drag it out, each person will be beaten with thirty sticks, and if you dare to snub me, you will be beaten to death!" ”

The guards dragged out more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs like wolves, Yang Guozhong was so frightened that he flashed to the side, the cries and begs for mercy of the palace maids and eunuchs made Yang Guozhong's scalp tingle for a while, would Li Longji drag him Yang Guozhong out too.

At this time, Li Longji's henchman eunuch Yu Chaoen walked out and said to Yang Guozhong: "Yang Xiangguo, the Holy One invites you in." ”

Yu Chaoen has been serving Li Longji in Xingqing Palace, and was suspected by Li Longji for a period of time and dismissed, after Li Longji fled, he stayed in Xingqing Palace, since Chang'an set off a big tide to the south, Yu Chaoen also quietly escorted Wu Xianyi to escape to Chengdu, just at this time Li Longji began to get tired of Gao Lishi's chattering persuasion, there was no available eunuch around, Yu Chaoen's arrival, just to make up for this shortage.

Under Wu Xianyi's kind words, Li Longji thought that Yu Chaoen was loyal to the Lord, so he reused him again, and named him the secretary of the inner chamberlain and the secretary of the imperial pen, which was due to Li Longji's hunchback, and it was difficult to correct the play, so he dictated, Yu Chaoen took charge of the imperial pen for him, although it has not yet reached the level of Gao Lishi's reading power to review the folds, but it is also not small, it is obvious that Yu Chaoen has gradually had the second trend of Gao Lishi, Yang Guozhong also flattered him in every way, sent people to Chang'an to smuggle his gold and silver back to Chengdu, and arranged a mansion for him, Yu Chaoen also reciprocated the favor, and often gave Yang Guozhong good words in Li Longji's ear, and all the twists and turns that were unfavorable to him were detained, so that Yang Guozhong could win Li Longji's trust without Yang Yuhuan.

Yang Guozhong took a quick step and asked in a low voice, "Yugong, I don't know why the Holy Lord is angry?" ”

Yu Chaoen saw that there was no one left and right, so he also whispered: "The Holy Lord heard that the hundred countries of the Western Regions entered Chang'an for the Hajj, and he was angry in his heart, Xiangguo should be careful, but don't mention this matter." ”

Yang Guozhong rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have a number in my heart, thank you Yugong." ”

Yu Chaoen suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Yang Xiangguo, I don't know how to do the ten acres of Shangtian last time?" ”

"Don't worry, Yugong has already transferred to Yugong's name, and the deed can come out tomorrow."

Yu Chaoen nodded with satisfaction, and then took Yang Guozhong into the hall, in the hall, Li Longji paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face was still angry, Yang Guozhong walked in, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Minister Yang Guozhong See Your Majesty!" Please calm your anger, the minister has two pieces of news. ”

Li Longji sat down slowly, waved his hand and said, "Aiqing, don't kneel in the future, I know that you are loyal." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has been kneeling to Your Majesty since the fifth year of Tianbao, and he is used to it."

"Hmmm! I remember that in the past, there was a royal history that impeached you for deliberately currying favor with me, and after a long time, I realized that you were really kneeling, unlike some people who say it nicely, but what they think in their hearts is another set, knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts! ”

Yang Guozhong's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "That minister will say the first news first." ”

"Say it! What's up? ”

"The day before yesterday, I met a Tocharian merchant, he came to the Tang Dynasty with the prince of their country, and the prince went to Chang'an to meet ......"

Yu Chaoen next to him was startled, didn't he tell him not to say it? Why did he want to mention this matter, Yu Chaoen secretly looked at Li Longji, only to see that his face was gloomy like water, and he couldn't help but secretly cry bitterly in his heart, what should I do?

"And then?" Li Longji's face became more and more gloomy, and he was about to get angry again.

Yang Guozhong said unhurriedly: "The minister was very angry at the time, so he asked this businessman, the Tang Emperor is obviously in Chengdu, why didn't he come here to meet him?" The merchant said that in fact, their king did not want to come at all, but if he did not come, Li Qing'an would send troops to attack them, and they were afraid of Li Qing'an's silver power, so these kings had to send envoys. ”

At this time, Yu Chaoen breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly gave a thumbs up, this Yang Guozhong is really clever, and he grabbed Li Longji's soft place, this person is worth befriending.

Sure enough, Li Longji's face improved greatly, he snorted heavily, and said extremely dissatisfied: "I have long known that Li Qing'an is clearly the soil emperor of Anxi, and these small countries are clearly here to make a pilgrimage to him!" ”

Although the words were dissatisfied, the knot in his heart was untied, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where is this businessman?" I'd like to see him. ”

Yang Guozhong was already confident, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this businessman went to Zizhou yesterday, and the minister immediately sent someone to find him." ”

"Good! I waited to see him. ”

At this time, Yang Guozhong turned to today's topic, he took out a letter, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the minister has good news to report to Your Majesty." ”

Li Longji was in a good mood, so he took the letter and said, "Who wrote the letter?" What's the good news. ”

"Your Majesty, this is a letter written by Cui Lian, the secretary of the Chang'an Military Department, and he intends to take refuge in Your Majesty."

"Ahh Is there such a thing? ”

Li Longji is overjoyed, Cui Lian is the head of the Cui family, if he takes refuge in himself, it means that the entire Cui family belongs to him, and the children of the Cui family are widely distributed in the Tang Dynasty as officials, this is a powerful local force!

Li Longji was furious, he opened the letter and read it carefully, in the letter, Cui Lian's tone was extremely sincere, and he was willing to serve the old master.

"I know that Cui Jian is a loyal and righteous person, and it is not in vain that I wrote a letter to recruit him last time, which is very good, I hope that all the former ministers of Chang'an will be the same as him."

Yang Guozhong saw that Li Longji believed it, so he cautiously suggested: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better for Cui Lian to do things for His Majesty in Chang'an, after all, Cui Yuan is already the prime minister, and if Cui Lian comes over again, I am afraid it will be difficult to resettle." ”

Li Longji nodded, Yang Guozhong made sense, it is indeed inappropriate for two people in a family to be the prime minister, and it is more beneficial to him to let Cui Lian do the internal response in Chang'an.

"Then according to Xiangguo's words, let Cui Lian stay in Chang'an."

Li Longji immediately turned back to Yu Chaoen and said, "Prepare paper and pen, I will personally write a letter to encourage Cui Lian." ”
