Chapter 314: The Fragrance of Flowers
readx; Yang Guozhong is looking for Yu Chaoen this time, one is to report the matter of sending the envoy back to Hui, and the second is to inquire about the news of Yang Guifei, Yang Guifei is the pillar of their family, if she falls out of favor, it means the end of the Yang family, during this time Yang Guozhong also heard a little rumor, the saint has moved back to Daming Palace, and Guifei Niangniang is still in Xingqing Palace, which makes him panic, he wants to know what happened here?
Originally, there were some things that were hidden in the palace and could not be told to Yang Guozhong, but for the sake of You Xian Pillow, Yu Chaoen's mouth became a little lax. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a wave of his hand, he asked a few little eunuchs to retreat, and when he saw that there was no one left or right, he whispered to Yang Guozhong: "Aphrodisiac is in trouble!" ”
Yang Guozhong was stunned, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, Yu Chaoen said again: "The saint always takes a medicine called the fragrance of the love flower, and the concubine Niangniang didn't let him take it, so they quarreled, and the saint moved back to Daming Palace in anger." ”
It turned out to be for aphrodisiac, Yang Guozhong was a little relieved, he thought it was for Concubine Mei, so he worried for a long time, since it was just for this kind of trivial matter, it was not a big deal, but the concubine could not always be in Xingqing Palace, there must be an explanation.
Yu Chaoen smiled again: "Xiangguo doesn't have to worry, it's okay to let the saint and Niangniang separate for a while, no, the saint sent someone to send ice dew to the concubine Niangniang early this morning, this is a signal of reconciliation, soon, in just these two days, we will move the concubine Niangniang." ”
"Then it depends on Zhongling to take care of it!"
Yang Guozhong got up to say goodbye, and Yu Chaoen sent him to the door, and then returned to Penglai Pavilion.
In the past two days, Li Longji and Wu Xianyi lived in Penglai Pavilion, Penglai Pavilion is located in the Taiye Pool, facing water on three sides, the wind blows the weeping willows, the scenery is excellent, it is Wu Xianyi's favorite palace pavilion.
Wu Xianyi is a concubine that Li Longji once loved, beautiful and enchanting, long-sleeved and good at dancing, Li Longji's youngest two sons, Li Xuan, the king of Xiliang, and Li Xuan, the king of Bianai, were born to her, if Yang Yuhuan did not enter the palace, this Wu Xianyi would become recognized as the head of the six palaces, which shows Li Longji's favor for him.
It's a pity that the concubine made the crowd jealous, and the appearance of Yang Guifei made all the concubines, including Wu Xianyi and Concubine Mei, lose their luster.
She sat in the cold palace for ten years, and it was not until this year that she finally got the first place, although Li Longji was no longer able to do it, but she was satisfied with Wu Xianyi, who had been lonely for a long time, like a long drought and a rainstorm.
The sky was already bright, Li Longji still refused to get up, Wu Xianyi was like a well-behaved cat snuggled next to him, a snow-white shoulder was exposed outside the green mandarin hibiscus quilt, she had already woken up, but she was motionless, pretending to be asleep and lying in Li Longji's arms, she didn't want to get up, let alone Li Longji got up, she couldn't wait for Li Longji to sleep with her like this for ten years, and make up for the lost years.
At this time, the dizziness in Li Longji's mind was finally slightly reduced, he took the incense of love flowers for three consecutive nights, his body was really unbearable, he was half paralyzed, and he couldn't move for half a day, this is nothing, the key is the strong dizziness in his mind, which made his mind blank for a long time, and he couldn't think of anything, this is terrible, he even forgot who he was? Where are you?
"Aifei, are you awake?"
Li Longji asked a little inarticulately, Wu Xianyi hated it in his heart, who is this calling? Do you think she is Yang Yuhuan? Although she hated it in her heart, she didn't dare to show it, she sighed and slowly opened her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the concubine had a dream!"
She coquettishly hugged Li Longji's shoulder, and said coquettishly: "The concubine dreamed that she gave birth to a little prince for Your Majesty, and the concubine will have three royal sons." ”
This is Wu Xianyi's trump card, what if Yang Yuhuan is favored again? If she doesn't have one child, how can she compare with herself, but she has two sons, and she just wants Li Longji to think of this all the time.
But she didn't know that Li Longji's mind was already blank, and he couldn't remember what his sons looked like.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
At this time, Yu Chaoen's low shouts came from the outer room, Wu Xianyi can no longer lie in bed, she can't afford to offend this Yu Chaoen, if you want to capture Li Longji's heart again, you must please this Yu Chaoen.
"Your Majesty, let's get up!"
"I'm tired and want to lie down a little longer."
At this time, even Wu Xianyi was stunned, in her memory, the saint got up before dawn every day, and was busy with government affairs until late at night, never got up so late, Wu Xianyi gritted her teeth for a while, that fox spirit! Hollowed out all the saints.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Grandpa Yu has something to call you."
"What's the matter?" Li Longji asked a little unhappily.
"Your Majesty, Yang Xiangguo has an urgent setback, it seems that there is a war in the north."
War is a sensitive word, Li Longji couldn't sleep, so he said: "Okay! I'm up. ”
Wu Xianyi hurriedly turned over and sat up, and instructed the palace maids who were waiting on the left and right: "Your Majesty is getting up!" ”
The palace maids immediately got busy, serving Li Longji and Wu Xianyi to dress, washing and combing their hair, Li Longji combed his hair while asking Yu Chaoen: "What war happened in the north?" ”
"Returning to Your Majesty, it seems that the Hui Khan sent an envoy to question the imperial court, saying that the Anxi army suddenly attacked the Hui and asked us to give an explanation."
"Question?" Li Longji frowned, and said unhappily: "What qualifications do they have to question me?" ”
Yu Chaoen was a little stunned, and asked if it was his words, he wanted to aggravate the serious problem, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, for a long time, he didn't know how to round this sentence, but fortunately, Li Longji paid more attention to attacking Hui Hui, and Hui Hui's attitude was let go by him.
"Go and call Liang Chaoyi, and say that I want to see the report of Anxi's prison army."
Yu Chaoen turned around to leave, but Li Longji stopped him again, "I didn't say to let you go, you let someone else go, I still have something to tell you." ”
"Yes!" Yu Chaoen hurriedly ordered a little eunuch to find someone, and he stood aside with his hands down.
Li Longji said slowly: "That incense of my helping flowers seems to have been placed for a long time, and the effect is not as good as before, you sent someone to urge An Lushan, I asked him to enter another box, why didn't he send it." ”
"Yes! The subordinates will do it. ”
"Go ahead!"
Yu Chaoen turned around and left, Wu Xianyi next to her shook her head secretly, in fact, she also saw a little bit that the saint took that helping flower incense to the body too much, and he only lived for nearly two months, the saint was like a few years old, such a violent thing, it was impossible for Yu Chaoen not to know, but he didn't persuade at all, but a little encouraged the saint to take this medicine, if it was Gao Lishi, he would rather die than let the saint take it again, so it can be distinguished that the loyal annihilation, this Yu Chaoen, not a loyal minister.
Although Wu Xianyi knew, she didn't dare to say it, she didn't dare to sweep Li Longji's excitement, and sent herself back to the cold palace.
"Your Majesty, you said last night that you would accompany your concubine to go boating on the Taiye Pond today!"
"Don't worry, I won't break my promise, I'll go with you in the afternoon."
After Li Longji finished freshening up, he took a small sedan chair to go to the Lin De Palace, the Lin De Hall is an office place of Li Longji in the inner palace of the Daming Palace, the west is close to the Nine Immortal Gate of the west wall of the Daming Palace, which is convenient for the ministers to enter and exit.
After a while, Li Longji walked into the side hall of the Linde Palace, and sat down in the imperial study of his inner palace, he was tired of energy, and he was really tired of the imperial court affairs, and he just wanted to hear some good news that lifted his spirits.
"Where's the excerpt? Show me. ”
Yu Chaoen hurriedly handed Yang Guozhong's fold, Li Longji opened the fold, and the dense words on it made him dizzy for a while, he couldn't see anything, and couldn't help but throw the fold on the case angrily, "Read it to me!" ”
Yu Chaoen benefited from the cultivation of Gao Lishi since he was a child, and he can read and write, it is for this reason that he has been serving in the imperial study, and finally became the first eunuch in power after Gao Lishi, he took the fold and read: "The minister yesterday said that he received the Honglu Temple to turn back and forth to the book, and was shocked to hear that the Anxi army attacked the Hui, and the minister did not know about it at all, and the minister did not know whether the saint knew, but the matter was critical, and the minister then stated his feelings to the saint, if the saint did not know, the minister asked Anxi to explain the matter, and the minister thought that the attack on the Hui was small, and it could be made up, but it was not a big matter for the holy oracle to send troops, ...... must be pursued to the end"
After Yang Guozhong's recital, with a letter from Hui Khan, Yu Chaoen opened it to read, but Li Longji waved his hand, "Okay, don't read it." ”
Li Longji originally thought that it was a large-scale attack by the Hui and a fierce battle with the Shuofang army, so he was a little nervous, but it was only the Anxi army that attacked the Hui and the Tang Dynasty did not suffer any losses, which made him let go of his heart.
Li Longji has seen a lot of winds and waves, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was a skirmish on the border, which was a very normal thing, and there was no need to make such a fuss, so he had no interest, and as for Yang Guozhong's mention of pursuing Li Qing'an's unauthorized dispatch of troops, Li Longji's interest was not very great.
If this happened a few days earlier, maybe Li Longji would be a little annoyed, but Li Qing'an sent Absi's head back to Chang'an in a timely manner, which made Li Longji's annoyance with Li Qing'an calm down a little, and more importantly, the Tubo Battle was imminent, and Li Longji didn't want to make extraneous branches at this juncture.
Although Li Longji took aphrodisiacs to make himself very angry, and he was dim and mediocre all the time, but he was unambiguous in the matter of the Tubo Campaign, he really took this matter too seriously, as long as he could pull out the hundred-year-old disaster of Tubo, he even endured the fact that Dugu Mingyue was abducted by Li Qing'an, not to mention the trivial matter of the Tanghui border conflict?
However, he also wanted to know why Li Qing'an attacked Beiting, but Yang Guozhong's recital did not mention a word, and he only wanted to investigate Li Qing'an's crimes, which made him feel a little unhappy.
At this time, the eunuch Liang Chaoyi hurriedly walked into the imperial study, knelt down and saluted: "The slave knocks on Your Majesty!" ”
Liang Chaoyi, like Yu Chaoen, is also a eunuch promoted by Gao Lishi, who used to be mainly responsible for the diet of Li Longji and Yang Guifei, and is also a powerful eunuch, but unlike Yu Chaoen, Yu Chaoen regards Gao Lishi as a thorn in his side, but Liang Chaoyi is the opposite, he is still loyal to Gao Lishi, and it is for this reason that Gao Lishi recommended Liang Chaoyi to be responsible for contacting the local supervision army before leaving Li Longji to go to the East Palace, and Li Longji also agreed in front of Gao Lishi.
However, there is still a little difference, in the past, Gao Lishi was in charge of the supervising army, and he appointed the supervising army in various places, and the supervising troops were also responsible for him, and he was very powerful, while Liang Chaoyi was only responsible for liaison and had no right to appoint and dismiss.
In addition, after the prince sent him to sit in the field, the role of the supervising army was correspondingly weakened, and Li Longji didn't attach much importance to it, he only asked when he thought of it, and he usually ignored it, for example, today, if he hadn't come back to complain, Li Longji wouldn't have known that Bian Lingcheng had sent a message.
Liang Chaoyi handed a booklet to Li Longji, and the prison troops from all over the country basically sent pigeon letters, the words were very small, and one thing had to be sent several times before it could be explained, so a very important job of Liang Chaoyi was to reorganize the reputation and number it into a book.
Li Longji also didn't answer, he raised his head and half-lay on the dragon couch and said, "Read it!" ”
Liang Chaoyi opened the booklet and read: "The minister ordered Cheng to see His Majesty the Emperor, in April there was an incident in which the Anxi Han navy crossed Jinshan, and the minister has investigated it in detail, the cause is that the Hui Hui was dissatisfied with the Tongluo Department to defect to the Beiting, and took the lead in sending troops to attack the territory of the Beiting, killing more than 1,000 people in the Tongluo Department, which caused the dissatisfaction of the three departments of Ge Lulu, Tongluo and Shatuo, in order to protect themselves, the three departments then jointly dealt with the Hui Hui, and at this time, the Tang army border post intercepted the Tubo messenger, and learned that the Tubo and the Hui private collusion, the Hui wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Anxi Tang Army to attack Tubo in the south and the empty Beiting, Sending troops to seize the North Court, thus forming a situation of spitting back to the north and south to attack the northwest court of Anxi, Anxi Jiedu made Li Qing'an see that the matter was urgent, so he took the opportunity of the combination of the three divisions such as Ge Lulu to send troops back to Hui, clear the border, and establish a defense north of Jinshan. ”
Li Longji nodded, this is the report he wants, it is clear, the facts are clear, and it is justified, when he rebelled against the Tang Dynasty with Luo Bu and defected to Ge Lulu, he thought that this matter might cause turmoil in the grassland, and sure enough, he guessed it, since the matter was not big, he didn't want to affect the Tubo campaign that was about to break out, so he threw Bian Lingcheng's report on the table, and said: "Very good, give this report to the East Palace, and the matter will be handled by the East Palace." ”
.......... Hui envoy Helu Mo Dagan waited in Chang'an for ten days, never saw the Tang Emperor, and finally the crown prince of the East Palace received him, Li Yu expressed his regret about the unfortunate incident of the Hui Hui, but at the same time he also solemnly pointed out that it was the Hui Hui who first invaded the territory of the Tang Beiting and killed the Tang Dynasty subjects to cause the conflict, and the Hui Hui had a first, thus rejecting the Hui Hui's unreasonable request for compensation of 300,000 pieces of silk from the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, Li Yu personally wrote a letter to Li Qing'an, hoping that he would withdraw his troops from Hui as soon as possible and not expand the matter, in addition, Li Yu wrote a letter to Li Qing'an, asking him to pay attention to guarding against Qing Wang Cong, the saint has increased the power of the princes, and it is very likely that the actual control of King Qing will also be increased.
.......... Youzhou, Fan Yang Jiedu envoy to the mansion, An Lushan returned to the mansion as usual, since he attacked the Khitan two months ago and was defeated, An Lushan has been in a low-key, but also made him feel deeply in danger, in order to keep his position, he used all means, spent thousands of dollars to make the court officials, and finally escaped punishment, but also kept his position as two Jiedu envoys.
Although he was lucky, he was also full of loss in his heart, he spent his scheming to get the Tongluo army did not get a single soldier, but he cheapened Anxi Li Qing'an in vain, followed by the Hedong Jiedu envoy, which was also his dream position, he didn't get it, but Li Yu recommended Cheng Qianli only served as a deputy position, Li Longji unexpectedly appointed Rongwang Li Wan as the Hedong Jiedu envoy, this result made everyone unexpected.
It is common practice for the prince to serve as the envoy of the festival, but those appointments are all remote leaders, only in name of the festival, but it is the first time that the prince actually leads the envoy of the festival, this is a signal, it is a signal that Li Longji is preparing to make the military power clan, in the face of this change, An Lushan's heart is full of vigilance, he must speed up his way back.
As soon as An Lushan returned to the house, one of his subordinates rushed to report: "Dashuai, there is an urgent letter from Chang'an. ”
"Show me!"
An Lushan took the letter, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it turned out to be sent from Daming Palace, he hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it quickly, his little mung bean eyes suddenly lit up, and immediately turned around and ordered: "Go!" Call Mr. Gao to my study, and then call Pharmacist Luo as well. ”
An Lushan returned to the study and read the letter carefully, the letter was written by Yu Chaoen, and it was actually asking him to be matched with the fragrance of love flowers, An Lushan's heart was pounding, is the opportunity really coming? The fragrance of the flower is two years ago he dedicated to Li Longji, this medicine is a strange person in the rivers and lakes, is a kind of aphrodisiac surname, this medicine can be taken by young people, the number and dose must be controlled, there is no problem with the recovery of attention, but it is different for the elderly, the vitality of the elderly is not as good as that of young people, taking this medicine for many years, will greatly damage the body, shorten the life expectancy, and will be addictive, can not get rid of it, at the beginning An Lushan was afraid to offer this kind of love flower, passed the examination of the imperial doctor, After receiving Li Longji's commendation, and even crowning him as the king of Dongping County, three years have passed, and at this moment Li Longji once again asked for this kind of helping flowers, he knew that his opportunity had come.
At this time, the staff member Gao Shang walked in, bowed and saluted: "Dashuai, are you looking for me?" ”
An Lushan nodded and handed him the letter in his hand, "Take a look!" Li Longji's personal letters. ”
Gao Shang was ranked second in An Lushan's staff rankings, located after Yan Zhuang, but after Yan Zhuang disappeared, Gao Shang became An Lushan's most trusted staff, and almost everything was discussed with him, and Gao Shang lived up to An Lushan's expectations and planned a series of good plans for him.
Just as Yan Zhuang persuaded Li Qing'an to be self-reliant, Gao Shang also persuaded An Lushan to support the army and stand on his own, and more than once, he used Gai Jiayun, Fumeng Lingcha, Wang Zhonghe, Huangfu Weiming, Pei Kuan and other Jiedu envoys to enlighten An Lushan, so that An Lushan understood that once he lost his military power, the things he did in Fanyang would be immediately exposed, and he would be impeached immediately, and what was waiting for him was a dead end.
Gao Shang finally persuaded An Lushan, and since three years ago, they have begun the road to self-reliance, and this helping flower fragrance is just one part of their plan.
After reading the letter, Gao Shang nodded and said, "It seems that our second-step strategy can be implemented." ”
"But I think it's coming too soon, we're not ready yet." An Lushan was a little worried.
"Dashuai, the important thing is the opportunity, when the opportunity comes, we must seize it, we have prepared seven points, there is enough food, sufficient weapons, the only thing lacking is the troops, but this year's spring drought in Hebei has appeared, I estimate that there will be a catastrophe in Hebei this year, so we can recruit soldiers from the victims who take the opportunity to solve this problem, and the effect of this kind of helping flowers is not so fast, we still have time." At this time, the soldiers at the door reported: "Pharmacist Luo has arrived." ”
"Let him in!"
After a while, a tall and fat old man in a blue robe and a red face walked in, he was a strange man in the rivers and lakes, good at preparing all kinds of strange medicines, and was accepted by An Lushan three years ago, this person claimed to be surnamed Luo, everyone called him Luo Pharmacist, and the fragrance of flowers was his masterpiece.
Yao Shi Luo stepped forward and bowed: "See the big handsome!" ”
An Lushan hurriedly smiled and said, "The pharmacist doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!" Have a seat! ”
Pharmacist Luo sat down with a big grin and asked, "I don't know if the handsome man is looking for me, what do you have to say?" ”
"I want to ask you, has the second Affection Flower been matched?"
Pharmacist Luo laughed: "I prepared it last year, the effect is extraordinary, the intensity is twice that of the first one, just take it." ”
After a pause, Pharmacist Luo asked in surprise, "Could it be that the first one has already been used up?" That's five years. ”
"I said it didn't work well and I wanted a new one."
"It doesn't work well?"
Pharmacist Luo was talking to himself, he suddenly sneered and said: "If you take the medicine according to my regulations, it won't work badly, I guess it's greed, I have been using double the dose, and then I found that I couldn't stand it, and I changed it back, so there will be a bad effect." ”
An Lushan frowned, and said with some concern: "If I keep taking double, will this new medicine not achieve the effect I want?" ”
"Nope! Dashuai rest assured, I have been testing this new drug for two years, and the effect is very strong, and the negative side is more hidden, which is usually not felt, and it will definitely satisfy Dashuai. ”
"Good! You give me the medicine immediately, and I will send it to Chang'an immediately. ”
"Yes! The subordinates will go and get it. ”
Yao Shi Luo hurriedly said goodbye, kept staring at his back and walked away, and Gao Shangcai said in a low voice: "Dashuai, this person knows too much, and there will be trouble if he stays." ”
An Lushan also smiled and said, "I know, I won't keep him." ”
"In addition, Liu Luogu in Chang'an is also urging him to speed up his pace, don't delay the opportunity."
