readx; Bian Lingcheng sighed and said: "Under the general trend of the Tubo Campaign, no matter what the general does excessively, the Holy Lord will not have anything to say, the key is that in the future, the General's political enemies and my political enemies will make trouble together, and things will be troublesome, and I am very worried that the Holy Lord will settle accounts after the autumn." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Speaking of this, Bian Lingcheng dipped a little tea and wrote the word 'qing' on the table, saying: "I am worried that the Holy Lord will increase this person's authority, from appeasing the feudal domains to controlling the military and government, and at that time, the general will gradually become his subordinate. ”

Li Qing'an was silent for a long time, he knew that what Bian Lingcheng said was not alarmist, it was likely to be the truth, this was Li Longji's consistent method, whether it was Wei Jian, Huangfu Weiming or Wang Zhonghei, he was first demoted to prevent the situation from turbulent, and then waited a year later before secretly executing.

This time he appointed King Qing to sit in Anxi, obviously because King Qing had a bad relationship with himself, and the reason why he repeatedly emphasized that King Qing did not interfere in military affairs was just to stabilize himself, so he also specially canonized himself as the prime minister, this kind of excessive courtesy that greatly exceeded An Lushan, Gao Xianzhi and others, to a certain extent, is also a strategy of first praising and then killing.

Even if he took Mingyue away, he didn't pursue anything, an old man who even wanted to occupy his daughter-in-law, a powerful emperor with a harem of 40,000, his possession of women ** can be seen how strong, would he really let himself take Mingyue away so generously?

The answer is obviously no, could it be that Anthy can't do without himself? For a person in a higher position, no matter where there is no one who is inseparable, he can be transferred back to Gao Xianzhi, or Feng Changqing, or Cheng Qianli, or even Li Siye, any one of them can replace him in his opinion.

The key is the upcoming battle of Tubo, it should be said that it was Ge Shuhan's plan that saved him, in order not to affect this campaign, so Li Longji endured a sigh of relief, and used another means to monitor himself, using the method of the prince in charge.

To some extent, this is a compromise, a compromise by Li Longji, and a side that is beneficial to himself, if King Qing is unable to monitor himself, or his power is completely hollowed out, and Li Longji finds that the prince is in charge and cannot control himself, then he will not hesitate to remove.

If you go a little deeper, even King Qing is also a temporary means to sit in Anxi, in order to get Mingyue, he will not let himself stay in Anxi longer, this is an irreconcilable contradiction, unless he dedicates his wife to him, otherwise once the war in Tubo subsides, he will also change generals.

But could he, Li Qingan, sacrifice his wife to the palace? Is it possible? If a husband can't even save his wife, what face can he have in the world!

He is not without a way out, he Li Qingan has at least two roads in front of him, and then sweep the world, retreat and hide the world, of course, this is only the last extreme measure, until he is forced to do so, he will not take this step, as long as things do not reach the worst level, there is room for salvation, the best way is war, as long as the war continues, Li Longji will not be able to change generals.

Thinking of this, Li Qingan pointed to the water on the table that had not yet dried, and smiled at Bian Lingcheng: "Don't worry about the prison army, this person is a person with weaknesses, I can control him, the key is the prison army itself, don't be transferred back to the court, that will affect the vital interests of the prison army." ”

Li Qingan's last sentence hit Bian Lingcheng's heart hard, and his hundreds of thousands of family fortunes were like a huge iron ball tied to his feet, how could he return to the court?

Bian Lingcheng was like a defeated rooster, completely withered, and after a while, he said weakly: "Don't worry about the general, our family has already gotten on your ship, and it's hard to go down." ”

Li Qing'an smiled, a little ambiguous, a little ill-intentioned, he gently patted Bian Lingcheng's hand and said: "Don't worry about the prison army, we have been friends for so many years, how can I leave you alone, when the time is ripe, I will send troops to send your family property back to the Central Plains, don't go back to the palace, the prison army will enjoy your old age at home!" ”

．．．．．．．． Qingwang Li Cong just arrived in Anxi three days ago, he temporarily served as an envoy to send the prince of Dashi Mansur back to China, Mansur because he wanted to discuss with Li Qing'an the details of the specific repatriation of prisoners of war, so he waited for Li Qing'an in Qiuzi, Li Cong was also impatient to travel a long distance, some fell ill, came to his place of office, he didn't want to go forward, he felt that he was not suitable for the water and soil of Anxi, I heard that if he went forward again, he had to cross the thin air of Lingshan and the Gobi, which made Li Cong daunted, so a small illness became a major illness, He sent for al-Mansur to tell him that he was too ill to accompany him west, and that he had to be sent here.

The official residence arranged by Li Qing'an for Li Cong is the old palace of Qiuzi, although it is very grand and spacious, in line with Li Cong's noble identity, but this palace has not been inhabited for forty years, the walls are mottled, the roof is old, although Li Qing'an has sent troops to clean the palace, but can not get rid of the gloomy atmosphere in the palace, the cold air soaked every piece of brick and stone, every inch of the wall reveals a kind of forest cold, the huge palace only has more than 30 people lived, it seems empty, for two nights in a row, all the entourages, including Li Cong, did not sleep well, In the middle of the night last night, one of his concubines suddenly screamed bitterly, saying that there was a ghost in the room, which frightened all the women to Li Cong's room, and everyone gathered together and had no sleep all night.

Li Cong was originally just looking for an excuse to be sick and didn't want to accompany Mansursi, but he didn't sleep well for two nights in a row, and Li Cong's illness really worsened.

"Is this damn house inhabited by people? Ahh ”

Li Cong sat on the bed, wrapped his body tightly in a thick quilt, and sneezed a few times in a row, his face was full of snot and tears, and while cursing the house, he secretly hated his father for sending him to Anxi.

At first, Li Cong thought that he was the only one sitting in the place, and he was still a little proud in his heart, but only a few days later, other princes were sent to various places to sit in the town, so that Li Cong's heart was full of loss, in fact, Li Cong's most wanted to go to Yangzhou, where the water is soft and the soil is slippery, the woman is enchanting and beautiful, it is the hometown of wealth and gentleness, and there are a lot of his assets, but Yangzhou was occupied by the sixteenth brother, and he was assigned to the most deserted and worst Anxi, and he was unwell in the past two days, which made him even more resentful.

Staff Yan Kai sat aside to boil medicine for him, on the small red clay stove, the medicine jar gurgled, steaming straight up, the fragrance of medicine filled the whole room, Yan Kai is a family of doctors, he was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he also learned some simple techniques to cure diseases and drive away cold, Li Cong was just tired and cold, and he could be fine after taking a few pairs of medicines, he ordered someone to catch the medicine and personally boiled medicine for Li Cong.

"Your Highness just doesn't quite adapt to the cold and afternoon heat in Anxi, so I feel sick, in fact, I think as long as Your Highness stays in Anxi for a few years, Your Highness's body will slowly become tough, which is also a good thing."

Yan Kai knew Li Cong's thoughts well, and he comforted while boiling medicine: "If His Highness goes to Yangzhou, rich and delicious all day long, and his energy is exhausted, His Highness's body will deteriorate even more, which is not a good thing!" ”

Yan Kai's persuasion and the smell of medicine in the house slowly calmed Li Cong's anxious heart, and he smiled bitterly and said, "But this place to live is too bad, and it is haunted, and there are few people serving, how can you let me live in peace for a few years." ”

"This is easy to solve, just tell Li Qing'an, it is estimated that he is busy with the war and has no time to take care of His Highness."

"Alas! I heard that he went to the North Garden, so I have to endure it for a few more days? ”

As soon as Li Cong's words fell, someone outside the door came to report: "Your Highness, General Li Qingan is asking to see you outside the mansion!" ”

"Ahh Li Cong was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Hurry up, please!" ”

Yan Kai got up and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'll go meet him!" ”

"Good! Sir, go quickly. ”

Yan Kai handed the medicine jar to the maid, walked out of the room quickly, walked to the front courtyard, and saw Li Qing'an walking in, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "See the general!" ”

"Mr. Yan, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Li Qing'an pointed out that he could control Li Cong, because of Yan Kai, Yan Kai's refuge really surprised him, but it was reasonable, with Li Li's introduction, and because he was the head of the frontier powers, it was understandable that Yan Kai took refuge in him.

Originally, he was going to use Yan Kai as his staff, but King Qing was named Anxi, which made Yan Kai's role abrupt, with Yan Kai as the internal response, King Qing should be a tool in his hands.

They walked to Li Cong's room with a smile, and when they walked into the courtyard, Li Qingan asked with a smile, "Mr. Yan, how is Your Highness staying?" ”

"Hey! General, Your Highness doesn't like it here, it's too cold. ”

Li Cong sat in the house, pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two, and the maid made the sound sound with medicine, so anxious that Li Cong glared at him, and said viciously: "Give me peace!" ”

The maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, Li Cong pricked up her ears again, only to hear Li Qingan smile and say: "Originally, I also thought that this house was too deserted, but King Qiuzi said that His Royal Highness has a noble status, and living in an ordinary house is not in line with etiquette, I think it makes sense, so I let His Highness live here, since His Highness doesn't like it, then I will find a way to change His Highness's residence." ”

"Then thank you, General!"

Li Cong in the house was so anxious that he secretly shouted: "There are too few people!" ”

At this time, Li Qingan had already walked to the door, and Yan Kai smiled and said, "Your Highness, the general is here." ”

"Come in, please!"

The door opened, and Li Qing'an walked into the room, but saw Li Cong wrapped in a quilt, like a big dumpling, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "I heard that His Royal Highness is sick, Qing'an specially rushed back from the north courtyard to visit!" ”

This sentence is a bit excessive, it takes at least four days to come here from Beiting, and there is still time to send the message, that is to say, Li Qingan knew that he was sick six days ago, but Li Cong arrived in Qiuzi for only three days, and his illness was also a matter of these two days, how did Li Qingan know?

Although it was an exaggeration, it was pleasant to listen to, Li Cong was dizzy, and his mind couldn't turn around, he was pleased to hear it, and said with a smile: "General, please take a seat!" ”

He ordered the maid again: "Pour a cup of tea for the general!" ”

The maid went out in response, Li Qing'an sat down, and after a while, the maid poured two cups of hot tea, Li Qing'an took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness is not living here very satisfactorily?" ”

"yes!" Li Cong sighed and said, "This house is full of ghosts, and there are few people serving, and I haven't slept well for two nights." ”

Li Qing'an looked up at the house, this is a corner of the palace, the roof is extremely high, giving people a feeling of unsteady, he nodded and said: "I heard that this palace has not been inhabited for forty years, I also feel that something is wrong, but King Qiuzi said that His Royal Highness has a noble status, and the rest is not in line with etiquette except for it." ”

Li Cong heard a groan, and actually gave him the palace that had not been lived in for forty years, no wonder it was haunted, he said with a bitter face: "General, etiquette is not important, the important thing is to live comfortably, it is better to change my residence as soon as possible!" ”

Li Qingan smiled and said: "Since His Highness is in a hurry, then I will change the house for His Highness today, it turns out that the mansion of the handsome husband is luxurious and bright, and there is a back garden, which is completely built according to the house of the Central Plains, I will order someone to clean it, and His Highness can move over at night." ”

Li Cong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I have too few retinues, can the general arrange some subordinates for me?" ”

In fact, Li Cong's implication was that he wanted Li Qing'an to find him more women, he liked to live in a pile of women, of course, male servants also needed a few, he brought thirty-five retinues from Chang'an, of which thirty were his concubines, only Yan Kai and an old servant were men, and there were a few eunuchs who were neither male nor female, which made his life a lot of inconvenience.

Li Qing'an also knew that Li Cong was capable of this, and what he thought and thought in the whole day was just the desire of the mouth and stomach, the entertainment of the voice, and he couldn't do any serious things, this was his weakness, and if he caught it, he could control him, Li Qing'an smiled and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will tell King Qiuci and let him give you half of the maids and male servants, and ensure that His Highness will live comfortably!" ”

．．．．．．． The surname of Lijie visited King Qing, Li Qing'an returned to the Jiedu envoy military office, the Anxi Jiedu embassy was nominally still in Qiuci, but in fact, the main civil and military officials and many functions were transferred to the broken leaves, and the military office of Qiuci only retained some simple functions, such as the tuntian of the four towns of Anxi, the garrison, etc., but this campaign against Tubo made Li Qing'an's focus tilted to Qiuci again.

He returned to the military office, immediately sent someone to arrange Li Cong's new residence, and wrote a letter, ordering someone to bring it to King Qiuci, asking him for a maid and servant. ”

Mr. Yan is Yan Zhuang, he has been living in Broken Leaves, but he didn't expect him to come too, Li Qingan immediately greeted him, only to see Yan Zhuang on crutches and slowly walked up the steps.

After several years of rehabilitation training, Yan Zhuang has gradually been able to read and walk, but he can't run yet, and he also walks with a limp, but it is much better than when he was paralyzed in bed before.

Li Qingan saw that he could actually go up the steps, so he smiled and said, "Mr. threw the cane and tried it?" ”

Yan Zhuang also smiled: "You can actually walk if you throw the crutches, but the posture is too ugly, and the face looks much better with the crutches." ”

Li Qing'an invited him into the house, poured him another cup of tea, and asked him, "How did Mr. come here?" ”

Yan Zhuang said with a smile: "Feng Changqing transferred 50,000 stone of grain from Broken Leaves, and I came with the grain truck." ”

He took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "The last time the general wrote a letter about Dunhuang, I thought about it for a long time and came up with a plan. ”
