Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Enqing, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Town, came to see Yang Hao, and said happily: "The news has come from Chang'an, Your Majesty is safe and sound, on the night of the mutiny, he escaped from the city from Weiqu, stayed outside the city for two days and one night, and on the third day, he was escorted into the Taiji Palace by the Longwu Army, and summoned Qiu Shiliang to see him, and on the other hand, he issued an edict to be appointed by Honglu Shaoqing Yu Chenwan as the general of the left army, in charge of the palace ban,

"On the day of the court meeting, someone secretly accused Wu Chen of rebellion, Yu Chenwan was ordered to arrest him, Wu Chen committed suicide in fear of crime, Yu Chenwan found a letter of rebellion in his duty room, his two students, but they were able to kill their relatives in righteousness, and unanimously accused him of conspiring to rebel against the court, Wu Chen died, the ironclad army was forcibly disbanded, and Qiu Shiliang was detained in Taiji Palace, it seems that Chang'an City is all under the control of His Majesty, this dragon and tiger fight, but His Majesty is more skilled."

Yang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just a pity that Asmi is busy." ”

Sean Qingdao: "That's also his own fault, want to step on two boats, want to bet on both ends, the result can only be a void, he can actually believe Wu Chen's rhetoric, whimsically thought that helping Qiu Shiliang kill the emperor, can make his Qu Zebu tear the earth and call the king, Wu Chen really killed the emperor, the first thing to kill is him Amy, such a stupid person, end up in a lifelong confinement, it should be Amitabha." ”

Yang Hao said: "This time, you have to work hard in person, go to Quzebu to have a good talk with his younger brother, and let them move to the west of Helan Mountain as soon as possible." ”

Sean Qingdao: "I understand, but before leaving, I still want to ask again." ”

Yang Hao said with a smile: "No matter how deep the sinicization of Quzebu is, it is still a Uighur, let them handle the affairs of the Uighurs by themselves, and it is not a bad thing to say that there is one more buffer between us and the Tibetans, you use more means to let them contain each other internally and not make trouble, I will thank God." ”

Sending Xiao Enqing to the door, Yang Hao pointed to a young man waiting in the courtyard and said to Xiao Enqing: "Zhang Yichao, a very clever young man, follow you to have a good experience, and it may be of great use in the future." Sean Qingdao: "I have heard his name for a long time, don't worry, I will be good, he may be Anxi's Wanduan in the future." ”

After seeing the two leave, Yang Hao turned to look at the southwest: "Take down Qiu Shiliang, next, who are you going to deal with." ”

……

Qiu Shiliang didn't expect that he would become a loner so soon, Wu Chen conspired with Yu Chenwan to assassinate Li Yan behind his back, he was not unaware, as long as he said a word, this matter would come to an abrupt end, and he seemed to do the same, but he still adopted a laissez-faire attitude, this was the only time he took a laissez-faire attitude towards such a major matter,

Yu Chenwan is a shameless villain, he has never looked down on him, he can betray the emperor's uncle who treats him very generously for his own glory and wealth, how can he not betray himself, it is one thing to accept him to wave the flag and shout under the door, trust him, appoint him, reuse him, it is another thing, this, Qiu Shiliang believes that he can still distinguish clearly,

That's it, that's it, it's like this ending this morning, but it's a little early, but it's a little bit of a nest, since he had to sign an alliance with Yang Hao last year, he knew that this day would eventually come,

First deprived of military rights, pulled out teeth, then cut off wings, put in cages, and finally died and dishonored.

are all masters, who would think that a sick tiger without claws and teeth will no longer hurt people, a tiger is a tiger, the docility on the surface can not hide its cannibalistic nature, even if it is old, sick, and even disabled, and even put in an iron cage, twelve hours a day to be guarded, it is still not reassuring,

Only death can liberate all this,

Death, I am not afraid, thirty years of court battles, I have already seen through life and death, I want to play the game of power, when you enter the door, you have to put the head in your hand, when you sit down, you have to press on the table, be prepared to lose it at any time, let go of life and death and false name, you are qualified to sit on the side of the table, your opponent will respect you, and your allies can trust you,

Spare your life, but don't fear death,

That's how I've lived for 30 years, but even if I die, I have to die well, complete a few of my long-cherished wishes before I die, my wife and children don't ask him, my colleagues and friends can't help but take care of them, the unfinished kindness has to be repaid, the unfinished hatred is wanted, hey, there are many troubles,

So knowing that the days were numbered, Qiu Shiliang still lived strongly, living in grief,

Half a year ago, Yang Hao's army came to the city, Chang'an shook, under internal and external pressure, he had to be aggrieved and seek peace, everyone said how Yang Shuai was good, from a Chang'an scoundrel to a few years of popularity, but who would have thought that today's infinite scenery Yang Dashuai was also defeated, all betrayed relatives, wives and concubines were separated, helpless and desperate desert, took off the noble and blunt into Hu Man, even the name and surname have been changed,

He was able to make a comeback, forcing himself to sign the alliance under the city,

I don't know that such good luck will not befall the old man,

Decades of begging for life on the cusp, Qiu Shiliang has long understood a truth, victory is endured, and he will never give up until the last moment, this is the case when he supported Emperor Wenzong with Wang Shoucheng, and it was the same when Wang Shoucheng was moved down by secret order.

This time it will be like this,

Qiu Shiliang firmly believes that the god of luck will favor her again, even if she abandons herself, there is nothing to complain about, in the long river of history, no matter who you are, you are just a grain of yellow sand in the Ganges, the size is not enough,

Do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven, and then bet on this last time,

Now that the gambling game is over, I have become a poor egg, and leaving the game is the only choice.

There is no point in complaining, and the memories are full of bitterness, Qiu Shiliang sent the last cronie eunuch around him, and lived a secluded life in the palace alone, calmly waiting for the time limit to come.

He was accustomed to the life of swords and swords, and suddenly became idle, he felt that he was suddenly old, and he still felt that his back hurt and his eyes were swollen, and he had two meals a day, and he walked around, and it was not completely dark, so he climbed into bed, and fell asleep under the lamp without reading two pages of the book, and woke up in the middle of the night, the lamp was still a lamp, and the saliva in his mouth had wet the pages.

He was sick, bedridden, and only had two new eunuchs around him to serve, and few of his disciples and grandchildren dared to come to see him, and occasionally a few came, as if it were a routine, kneeling and saying a few words of relief, kowtowing and leaving,

His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Three Palaces were worried about him, the Emperor asked Li Haogu to announce the decree, gave him a mansion, rewarded ten palace maids for serving, and rewarded him with two hundred acres of good land, the Empress Dowager of the Three Palaces also sent people to send gifts and condolences, gradually, there were more people who came to visit him, there were his disciples and grandchildren, more were new faces, one by one carrying noodles and fruits, lying on the ground and kowtowing, even a sentence could not be said well, there were too many people, many people were bored, he was really too lazy to see, sent people to put down the curtain, even the face was not seen, most people put down the gift box, kowtowed outside the door and left,

Qiu Shiliang's illness gradually improved, he began to get up early and go to bed late, got up early in the morning, rode out of the left and right Yintai Gate to inspect the forbidden army camp, and it was just a patrol, and he looked at the flowers and flowers.

At dusk, or go to Hanguang Hall to watch the polo game, or go to the Taiye Pond to watch the palace ladies and concubines rowing and fishing, and at night, they are circling in all kinds of banquets, eating and drinking, playing and playing.

He spent all his energy on it, and he no longer feared death, because in his heart, he was already a dead man, a living dead man with flesh and blood, who could eat and drink.

His disciples and grandchildren began to flock around him again, calling him a god, he shook his hand and said in a harmonious voice How dare you, how dare you, Your Majesty is a true immortal, I, at best, I am just a person who has attained the Tao, and the disciples and grandchildren don't care about this, what they care about is how to live in the palace and how to be promoted.

Qiu Shiliang was a little entangled by them and really couldn't do anything, so he had to say a few perfunctory words casually, he said: "You rootless people, you are despicable and worthless, not even as good as cattle and horses, what do you rely on to live as a person, live by people with roots, they are big trees that hold up the sky, what about you, it is a vine that is dead, and you try your best to serve the people with roots, your good days are coming, the sound of dogs and horses, just change the way, only those who are in the top position are dedicated to having fun and have no time to take care of anything else, you can get up and down their hands, In order to eliminate disasters and take refuge, in order to live freely and freely. ”

The crowd bowed to him and thanked him for his kind words,

Qiu Shiliang's name soon spread all over the three major regions, he was no longer a decisive lieutenant Qiu, but became a teacher of Master Qiu, a good teacher of Master Qiu not only likes to guide the apprentices and grandchildren, but also is willing to point out those guards of the forbidden army who eat food and carry guns.

The soldiers of the Shence Army had a better and better impression of this ruddy-faced observer like a baby, and every time the enemy observer rode past the camp, the soldiers would stop their men and climb on the railing to cheer him, and their voices were strong, and the court was shaken, and as the years wore on, they became more and more respectful of this kind commander.

Therefore, when they got the news from Qiu Shiliang that Prime Minister Li Deyu wanted to deduct military salaries and use the squeezed money to organize the Wanshou Festival for the Queen Mother, they were immediately excited, and the soldiers rushed out of the camp with weapons, rushed into the Daming Palace, surrounded Zhongshu Province, and shouted the slogan "Li Deyu is a traitor, please punish Li Deyu".

The sound made the Daming Palace fall into a slaughter, which made the people panic, and the people with a little experience couldn't help but think of the change of nectar, and the tragic scene of rolling heads and corpses in front of them was like in front of them.

Yu Chenwan persuaded Li Yan to move to Taiji Palace, and then return to Daming Palace when the civil strife subsided.

Li Yan looked at his pus-filled brother-in-law, put on soft armor, and said with a sneer: "Joke, Daming Palace is my home, where can I go, I don't believe it, can the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven dare to kill the Son of Heaven." ”

As soon as Li Yan's car appeared outside Zhongshu Province, the leader of the troublesome soldiers became panicked, and when he saw the murderous appearance of Yangshan and Qianniu guards, they softened like eggplants beaten by frost.

Li Yan stood on the public opinion and said to the soldiers gathered outside the gate of Zhongshu Province: "It is my idea to reduce military salaries, what does this matter have to do with the prime minister, you don't come to find me, but you surround Zhongshu Province, what is your intention." ”

Yu Chenwan and the generals of the forbidden army hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "My subordinates have no way to govern the army, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Li Yan angrily reprimanded: "Taking your military salary for the queen mother's longevity is to show your filial piety, the righteousness of the whole monarch and ministers, and set an example for the world. ”

When the armies heard this, they rejoiced,

Li Yan also scolded Yu Chenwan and others: "As a general of the forbidden army, you don't distinguish between truth and falsehood, listen to rumors, and let the soldiers surround Zhongshu Province and surround me as the prime minister, are you worthy of being a general of the forbidden army, I'm afraid that you are not even worthy to go to the border for me." ”

Yu Chenwan and others prostrated on the ground, sweating profusely, seeing the chief like this, all the soldiers also panicked, and bowed to the ground one by one, which led them away,

Li Yan used this matter as an excuse to order that the palace ban of Daming Palace was in charge of Jin Wuwei and the prison guards, the Longwu army guarded the Yintai Gate on the left and right, the Yulin army inspected the forbidden garden, and the Shence army retreated to the camp.

When Qiu Shiliang heard the news, he was stunned for a long time, stood up silently, looked in the direction of Hanyuan Palace, his eyes slid through the Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Hall in turn, passed through the smoky inner court, and looked at the blue sky in the northwest.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, closed his eyes, shook his clothes, and walked towards Yanying Palace,

Qiu Shiliang came to Li Yan to ask the old man to return to his hometown, Li Yan was not allowed, and he was asked again, and he was not allowed to do it again, so that he could still be an envoy to watch the army, so that he could go out of Beijing to preach comfort everywhere.

There is an old ministry who privately said Qiu Shiliang: "Although the public is not comfortable in the palace, there are still many people outside the palace, how can he be arrested." Qiu Shiliang replied: "I do things in my life, I dare to do it if I am fifty percent sure, and I dare to make ten percent of my strength if I am sixty percent sure, if I am seventy percent sure, I don't do it, and it will be difficult to sleep peacefully, and now I will not do it even if I kill my head, my head is already seventy percent white, and my feet have been three feet into the ground, why spare your life again." ”

After inspecting Guanzhong for half a year, one day when he arrived at Liangchen Pass, the former military envoy Wen Shimao prepared a drink early to greet him at the pavilion, Qiu Shiliang looked at his white hair, held his hand, and said emotionally: "You are also old." ”

Wen Shimao said: "I am three years older than Qiu Gong, you are already full of gray hair, how can I not be old." ”

Qiu Shiliang looked at Wang Fulin and the others who were standing aside, and sighed: "You are more blessed than me, even if you return to the mountains and forests, you don't feel lonely, but I, alone, are destined to die alone, even if you die, it will be infamous for the ages." ”

Wen Shimao said with a smile: "People come and go, the tide rises and falls, the soul wakes up and dies, in the end, it's just a dream, between the pitches, it's good to be worthy of my heart." ”

Qiu Shiliang had an understanding, after returning to Beijing, he asked Li Yan to resign again due to illness, when it was April of the third year of Huichang, three on and three refutations, in June, Li Yan resigned, as the general of the left guard, the provincial supervisor of the internal service to the officer, in order to show his merits, for his rebuilding of the Chang'an mansion, the addition of ten palace maids, Qiu Shiliang returned to the first pension, a few days to die,

Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard that Qiu Shiliang was dead, and he forcibly shed two tears for him, and when he dispersed, he rode a jade lion and galloped to **, where Wang Fu'er was carrying a flower basket to pick plums in the plum forest by the Taiye Pool, and the palace maids and eunuchs reported together: "Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here." ”

Wang Fu'er only looked to the south, and heard the sound of horses' hooves, a ride has broken through the air, before she can come to her senses, immediately a beautiful operator stopped her waist and dragged her into his arms, and the basket of freshly picked plums was all scattered, and the hated Wang Fu'er called the emperor all the way to the emperor's violent destruction of heavenly things,

Li Yan took Wang Fu'er out of the Xuanwu Gate in one breath, the panicked palace guards, eunuchs, and ministers were in a panic, and they rode horses to chase, Wang Fu'er curled up in Li Yan's arms like a little bird, only waiting for him to go out of the Xuanwu Gate and drive into a flat open field, she dared to stretch out her arms, hook his neck, kiss her lover recklessly, and left a string of lip prints on the emperor's cheeks and neck, he said: "My emperor Langjun has done something earth-shattering today, so excited." ”

Li Yan slowed down his horse speed and replied with a smile: "You don't know, Qiu Shiliang died, he died of illness this morning, you don't know how happy I am to hear it, the thorn is in the back, once pulled out, I am much more refreshed." ”

Wang Fu'er blinked her eyes and asked, "It's really sick and dead." ”

Li Yan said: "You can't frame me for this, in short, I didn't do anything, I said Ai Fei, you don't seem to be very happy about Qiu Shiliang's death, what are your intentions, don't you invite it quickly." He scratched Wang Fu'er's neck with his hand, Wang Fu'er laughed, and also scratched his armpits, Li Yan laughed for a while, and fell off the jade lion horse, fortunately, the horse speed was very slow, and his horse skills were very good, so he hugged Wang Fu'er and fell into a cluster of alfalfa flowers, startling countless small flying insects,

Li Yan hugged Wang Fu'er and rolled a few times, pressed on her, looked at her flawless face, with a pool of spring water in his eyes, he gently kissed his woman and said, "You are the most beautiful woman in the world." ”

Wang Fu'er said: "Your Majesty is the embodiment of beauty, wisdom and benevolence, and the dream of all women in the world. ”

Li Yan said: "But I almost lost you." ”

Wang Fu'er said: "But I only belong to you, and no one can take it away." ”

Li Yan said: "Whether he can take you away is one thing, whether he wants to take you away is another." ”

Wang Fu'er said: "Even the most arrogant people in the world dare not have such thoughts. ”

Li Yan said: "Is he arrogant?" ”

Wang Fu'er said: "He has a bold heart, but he is also very smart, although he is only as smart as one-ten-thousandth of His Majesty, but he still knows the way of life and death, he has no ambition, and he does not dare to have, you can rest assured." ”

They hugged *** again for a few rolls, this time it was Wang Fu'er lying on the emperor's body, she held Li Yan's arm and said, "Now, you completely belong to me." ”

Li Yan said: "I am the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can only belong to himself. ”

Wang Fu'er was sad, Li Yan took the opportunity to break away from his hand, sat up, held the beauty in his arms, and said affectionately: "But Li Yan belongs to Wang Fu'er, and he will not change for the rest of his life." ”

Wang Fu'er finally buried her head in his arms happily,

The guards and eunuchs of the forbidden army who followed behind him finally chased after them, and they ran away one by one and abandoned their armor, panting, Li Yan frowned in disgust, but helplessly, he was still the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and the son of heaven had to have the majesty of the son of heaven.

He stood up, patted the grass on his body, rubbed his wrist, and said to Wang Fu'er, who was already kneeling among the flowers, "Get up, I am unscathed." ”

He pulled Wang Fu'er up very casually with one hand, and shouted to Li Haogu and Yangshan who were standing aside: "Am I so delicate, if the prince of the Tang Dynasty is so delicate, how can he be worthy of being the co-master of the world, turn around, turn around, I want to change clothes." ”

The manager, Li Haogu, hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "Let's go, carry it, carry it." After retiring the attendants, Li Yan's face suddenly changed, and Yin said to Wang Fu'er: "Hold my hand, my waist flashes, ouch ......"

Wang Fu'er pursed her lips and smiled, so she had to carry him under his armpit with her shoulder, and helped him limp into the woods, Wang Fu'er walked very hard, Li Yan's tall and heavy body pressed her all over sweat and exhaustion,

Finding a tree and sitting down, Wang Fu'er asked with tears in her eyes, "Where are you hurt?" Li Yan smiled and said, "How can it hurt, it's not hurt, I'll tease you." ”

Wang Fu'er said: "Hugh wants to coax me, what is the injury." ”

She found that Li Yan's right calf was not working well and was a little stiff, so she pulled Li Yan's hand away, and sighed in her heart, Li Yan's calf was cut by a bush of thorns with two bloody wounds, saying that it was not heavy, and it was not light.

Wang Fu'er's face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Merry Emperor, isn't this your retribution." ”

Li Yan sniffed, endured the pain, but said with a smile: "Strange, strange, you and I are rolling together, this thorn is stabbing me, why don't you stab you, and give me a chance to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

Wang Fu'er smeared him with the gold medicine she carried, and tore his underwear to bandage him, and said with a smile: "If you want to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, when will it not work, you have to wait until I am injured and sick, I don't understand, you can't see me at all." ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly, took the Jinchuang medicine in Wang Fu'er's hand and looked at it, pushed her hand away again, and said, "A little skin trauma, so many ways to do it." ”

Wang Fu'er ignored him, still wrapped it carefully, Li Yan felt bored, so he stretched out his fingers, pulled Wang Fu'er's soft face with his thick fingers and said: "Beautiful, it's really beautiful, there are three thousand beauties, why can't I see you enough." ”

Wang Fu'er shrugged his shoulders and blocked his hand and said, "My amorous emperor Langjun, you still have to think about how to go back to the palace to explain today's events to the Queen Mother, if you really can't do it, you can confess me." ”

Li Yan said: "Ai Concubine, I will not confess you easily. ”

Wang Fu'er grabbed his left hand and gently bit him on the wrist.

Li Yan was injured after falling from a horse and soon spread throughout the three major areas, Li Yan was furious and ordered Li Haogu and Yangshan to find out who leaked the secret, of course, he also knew that if he checked and checked, there would be no result, the palace seemed to be airtight, but in fact, it was breathable everywhere, his biological mother had passed away for many years, and he didn't need to explain anything, and the other two queen mothers were also perfunctory, but the old queen mother Guo who lived in Xingqing Palace was not so easy to fool,

Sure enough, hearing that the emperor fell from his horse, the Empress Dowager Guo hurried to the Daming Palace that night, first taught the reckless emperor a lesson, and then scolded Li Haogu and Yangshan and a group of people.

Empress Dowager Guo lost her temper, her anger disappeared, and she was hindered by Li Yan's help to intercede, which saved Li Haogu and Yangshan's thirty boards from being beaten.

The old queen mother glared at Wang Fu'er, who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and said to the emperor: "Grandmother knows that you agree with this king, if grandmother takes this opportunity to depose her, you must not be happy, and you will resent me in your heart, grandmother is not stupid and lazy to wade into this troubled water, but, emperor, you are the Son of Heaven, the respect of the Ninety-Five, there can be no one around you who always advises and advises, there are ministers who advise, and there should be someone who advises from time to time, and there should be someone who advises from time to time, and you can't always do everything by temperament, I think Meng Yao, the female official of Taiji Palace, is a stable person." , please let the emperor accept her by his side, and persuade her from time to time. ”

Li Yan glanced at Wang Fu'er, who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has good intentions, if I don't accept it, I will not only be unfilial, but it is simply unwise." ”

Empress Dowager Guo smiled and said: "Look at what the emperor said, you are cheap and obedient, who doesn't know the beauty of Meng Yao's child, I don't think it's much worse than your Wang Cairen, and when you see her, you will know that your grandmother is good to you." ”

Li Yan said: "That's natural, the Empress Dowager reads so many people, how can she look away, thank you for your grandson here." ”

Empress Dowager Guo said: "Xie Xian, Emperor, the Meng family is recommended by me, how do you plan to reward her." ”

Li Yan said: "Follow the rules and seal a talented person, he will accumulate virtue and then be promoted, given by the emperor's grandmother, how dare his grandson slack off." ”

Empress Dowager Guo got up with satisfaction and said goodbye, and when she saw that Wang Fu'er was still kneeling on the ground, she went to help her up, but she didn't say a word in the end, and after the two left, Li Yan suddenly said: "It's really unreasonable." ”

Wang Fu'er comforted him: "The Empress Dowager is also kind. ”

Li Yan burst into a foul mouth and said: "The hammer is kind, it's an old disrespectful thing." ”
