In the past two days, Li Longji has been particularly diligent in his administration, although today is a mid-day holiday, but he still rushed to the imperial study early in the morning, the important surname of the Longyou campaign made him never pay attention to the court situation as much as in the past two days, and when he arrived at the Datong Palace, Li Linfu had been waiting for a long time.

"Minister Li Linfu see Your Majesty!"

"Xiangguo doesn't have to be polite!" Li Longji waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Xun Xiu said that he also brought Xiangguo here, but I really didn't want to go." ”

"Your Majesty is working hard for the affairs of the state, how can the ministers stay out of the matter."

"It's worthy of being my old minister, understand my heart!"

Li Longji sat down, he flipped through the folds on the table, couldn't help frowning, and asked Gao Lishi: "General, what about the map of Longyou I saw yesterday?" ”

Gao Lishi was also taken aback, he was a little distracted by the matter of the prince in the past two days, and he was not too dedicated to Li Longji's affairs, and he didn't know who took the map on the table.

"Your Majesty, the old slave will ask!"

He walked out of the study quickly, and asked several eunuchs on duty with a calm face, "Who cleaned up His Majesty's book case yesterday?" ”

"I cleaned it up yesterday?" A young eunuch was timid.

"Did you take your majesty's map?"

"Back to Gao Weng, the map is on the shelf, I thought Your Majesty didn't need it."

"Humph! Bold. ”

Gao Lishi shouted angrily: "Come on, pull down and beat eighty sticks!" ”

Immediately rushed up and several guards dragged the little eunuch down, and the little eunuch trembled with fright, "Gao Weng, spare my life, spare my life!" ”

Gao Lishi glanced at the eunuchs again and said, "In the future, the things on His Majesty's table are not allowed to be moved, do you hear?" Whoever dares to commit it again will be killed with a cane immediately! ”

"Yes!"

The eunuchs were so frightened that they trembled, and Gao Lishi pointed to one of the young eunuchs and said: "Yu Chaoen, you will be responsible for inspecting the imperial study in the past few days, and if there is any more mistakes, I will first ask you for the crime." ”

"Slaves obey!"

Gao Lishi returned to the study at this time, he found the map of Longyou from the bookshelf, spread it out on the bookcase, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the eunuch who collected the map has been beaten by me with eighty sticks, please dissipate your anger." ”

Li Longji was in a bad mood by this little turmoil, he snorted, and said to Li Linfu: "Xiangguo, today I want to discuss the Longyou Battle with you, this time, I want to take Chiling at one time, drive the Tubo army back to the south of Dafeichuan, and restore the situation before the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, what does Xiangguo think?" ”

"When is Your Majesty ready to go to war?"

"So I want to ask Xiangguo, how is the situation of the imperial treasury? In this war, soldiers' food, pension money, and so on will be a large amount of expenditure, and last year, Hedong and Henan suffered droughts, and Guanzhong also reduced grain production, so I am very worried about whether the national strength can afford it? ”

"Your Majesty, although the grain production in the above three places has decreased, but the Jiangnan, Jianghuai and Bashu regions have achieved a bumper harvest of grain, and the price of rice has never risen badly, and now there are still 3.4 million stones of grain in Taicang, 2 million pieces of money in the left collection, and 800,000 horses of silk, which should be able to support this battle."

When Li Longji heard that the government treasury had more money and grain, he was in a good mood, and he smiled with a long sigh of relief: "Since I ascended the throne, I have fought this tug-of-war with Tubo in Longyou, which has come and gone for decades. ”

Speaking of this, Li Longji sighed again: "Longyou has always been my confidant, it is precisely because Longyou is not appeased, so when the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms were invaded by the Great Eclipse and asked me for help, I was unable to send troops, so that my Tang Dynasty's control over Lingxi weakened, if Longyou wins this time and can consolidate the strategic advantage, I am ready to rebuild the Broken Leaf Military Town and strengthen my Tang Dynasty's control over Lingxi." ”

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the minister is deeply in agreement."

Li Linfu also smiled and said: "If the battle of Longyou is won, the minister also suggested that the troops in the Jiannan region should also be strengthened, and the western and eastern fronts of Tubo will be frustrated, and its breakthrough will inevitably be the southern front, so strengthening the defense of Jiannan and controlling the southern Zhao is the next equally important major event." ”

Li Longji stood up and walked a few steps and said: "Xiangguo reminded me, I just got the news that the king of Nanzhao, Pi Luo Ge, is seriously ill, and the two princes of Nanzhao are competing fiercely for the throne, I think that no matter which prince wins, he will first make a pilgrimage to my Tang Dynasty, so I want to send a minister who is familiar with the situation in Jiannan to send an envoy to Nanzhao, on the one hand, to visit Pi Luoge's illness, and on the other hand, to urge the successor of Nanzhao to come to Chang'an as soon as possible to meet him." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended that Guo Xu, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, be the envoy of appeasement and go to Nanzhao."

"Hmmm! This made me think again. ”

After Li Longji finished speaking, he took a copy of the book from the imperial case and said with a smile: "The military department has just taken the recital, and the regimental training envoys who went to the Jianghuai region to train troops have all arrived in Beijing, waiting for my review. ”

"The minister has no opinion!"

"Okay, the review is still in the Youwu Guard Academy, Xiangguo will arrange it, I want to hold a meeting of the political hall of the Battle of Longyou at the same time."

．．．．．．．．．．

Pei Kuan rushed back ahead of schedule because of Li Longji's summons, and when Li Qingan came back from the barracks, it was already afternoon, and he had just arrived at the gate of Yishanfang, but he was greeted by a group of people, more than fifty burly knights with swords guarding a carriage.

The carriage is inlaid with gold and silver, luxuriously decorated, with an apricot yellow pennant on the roof of the car, with the word 'Yang' written on it, Li Qing'an flashed his horse to the side, but the carriage stopped, and the curtain opened, revealing Yang Huahua's charming and pretty smiling face, "Qilang, I'm looking for you!" “

Li Qing'an saw that it was Yang Huahua, put down his heart, stepped forward and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the third sister is more beautiful than before." ”

"Flim-tongued guy, do you remember me?"

Yang Huahua complained in her mouth, but there was an irrepressible smile in her eyebrows, and her eyes were bent into crescents.

Li Qingan also smiled: "I can forget anyone, but I can't forget the third sister, the last time I gave the bow to the grace, Qing'an has not repaid the third sister!" ”

Thinking of the situation on the day of the birthday banquet, Yang Huahua's beautiful eyes were full of Mid-Autumn water, and she glanced at her and said, "You get into my carriage, and I'll tell you something serious." ”

Immediately a guard opened the door, Li Qingan hesitated, then dismounted and entered the carriage, the carriage was like a small room, very spacious and bright, in addition to Yang Huahua, there was also a personal maid of her in the front row.

Yang Huahua is dressed up very beautifully today, combing her temples, with a phoenix golden step swayed obliquely in her hair, a string of diamond beads hanging in the mouth of the phoenix, shining brightly, with red makeup on her face, grease thrush, and a flower on her forehead, she is wearing an open-breasted long skirt sewn with leno.

Seeing Li Qing'an come in, Yang Huahua hurriedly took a goose down cushion, put it beside her, and said with a smile: "Qilang, sit here!" ”

Li Qing'an sat down and looked at the carriage, the walls of the carriage were decorated with gorgeous Shu brocade, and the feet were covered with thick Persian carpets, all kinds of utensils were made of gold, which were inlaid with precious gems, and even a toilet bowl behind the carriage was carved with a whole piece of Lantian jade, which made the carriage look jeweled and rich.

Li Qingan couldn't help but shake her head secretly, this is too luxurious, Yang Huahua's eyes are thorough, she smiled lightly and said, "What, do you think it's too extravagant?" ”

"Huh! I have never seen a carriage from a large family, but today it is really eye-opening. ”

'A big family's carriage? Yang Huahua smiled coldly and said: "Don't say that the average big family, even if it is Xiangguo's carriage, it is far from being comparable to me, and even the phoenix of the noble concubine is a few points inferior to me." ”

Li Qingan was stunned, and he asked with some puzzlement: "But isn't the third sister afraid of being jealous?" ”

Yang Huahua laughed and trembled, "Jealous? I wish I could do it! ”

Her smile slowly disappeared, staring out the window, for a long time, she sighed and said: "My husband died early, his livelihood was difficult, and he couldn't wait to break a penny in half, and I swore at that time, if one day I became rich, I must let myself live happily, do whatever I want, and never wronged myself, I will recruit him into the curtain if I like a man, and if I don't like it, I will kick him away, no matter what others say about me, today I get my wish, this kind of glory and wealth can enjoy one day is one day, who knows what I will be like tomorrow?" ”

She glanced back at Li Qing'an again, gently held his hand, and said with a charming smile: "Qilang, I'm really happy that you are willing to get into my carriage." ”

Li Qingan heard her say, 'If you don't like it, you kicked it away,' and felt a little unhappy in her heart, so she patted her hand and smiled: "Third sister, you said that you have something serious to tell me, what is it?" ”

"Hmmm! There is one thing that matters. ”

Yang Huahua looked into his eyes and asked, "You tell me the truth, my second brother's carriage overturned the day before yesterday, did you do it?" ”

Li Qingan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why do you say that I did it?" Have you caught any evidence of me? ”

Yang Huahua shook her head, "Although there is no direct evidence, my two sisters and several cousins all agree that you did it, this time the second brother was seriously injured, he couldn't swallow this breath, he must go to the mother to sue you, you tell me the truth, I can help you." ”

Li Qingan lightly withdrew his hand and said with a faint smile: "I'm really sorry, since there is no evidence to say that I did it, then why do I have to admit it, third sister, I really don't understand, the Pei family's horse was frightened and hit your second brother's carriage, how could it be someone else's plot?" Even if someone did something, but the city gate was crowded with people at that time, why did they only stare at me? Third sister, your Yang family is too ridiculous! ”

Yang Huahua looked at him in a daze, and said after a while: "Qilang, I'm for your good, I hope you can understand." ”

"The third sister is good for me, of course I understand, and I am grateful, but there are unnecessary things for me to admit, I'm sorry, I can't accept it."

After speaking, Li Qingan shouted, "Stop, I want to go down." ”

Yang Huahua was taken aback, "Qilang, you, where are you going?" ”

"Of course I'm going home, where else can I go?"

Yang Huahua bit her lip and said in a low voice: "Qilang, I want to invite you to dinner tonight, come to my mansion, okay?" ”

Li Qingan shook his head and said apologetically: "Third sister, the military camp outside my city was shot by an arrow last night, and a brother was injured. Next time, I will definitely go to the third sister's house. ”

"What about tomorrow, can you do it tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow the military department will assess our training, I will be in the barracks all day, third sister, I'm really sorry, when I'm busy for a while, even if the third sister doesn't invite me, I will come to the door with a cheeky face."

"Then you kiss me before leaving!" Yang Huahua stared at him fiercely.

Li Qing'an smiled and hugged her fragrant shoulder, and kissed her lightly on the face, but unexpectedly, Yang Huahua hugged his neck, red lips kissed his lips heavily, the soft fragrant lips made Li Qing'an's mind confused, he unconsciously hugged her waist, stroked her breasts and buttocks up and down, began to kiss her back, sucking her dexterous tongue, Yang Huahua was fascinated, and moaned in a low voice: "Qilang, go to my house." ”

Li Qingan let go of her, took a deep breath and said, "Third sister, I really want to rush back to the barracks immediately, I'm sorry!" ”

Yang Huahua's face sank, and she raised her hand and slapped him, "I don't know what to do, get out of here!" ”

This slap knocked Li Qingxin's little affection for her without a trace, he blushed his face, didn't wait for the carriage to stop, kicked the door open, and jumped out of the carriage.

Yang Huahua felt a burst of regret in her heart, and she hurriedly shouted: "Qilang, wait a minute!" ”

Li Qing'an flew on his horse, he whipped the horse fiercely, and galloped in the direction of the city gate without looking back.

"Shichiro!"

Yang Huahua shouted again, she stared blankly at Li Qing'an's distant back, and an indescribable loss welled up in her heart.

．．．．．．．．．．

Outside the Yingzhou Gate of Xingqing Palace, Yang Qi was anxiously pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, although he was the brother of the concubine, he could not enter the harem at will, he had to be summoned by the concubine to enter, he had already handed a complaint against Li Qing'an for hurting people with a secret arrow into the palace, and now he was waiting for the reply of the concubine Niangniang, he had been waiting for almost half an hour, but there was no news in the palace, which made him anxious.

In the capital five Yang, he is the eldest brother, shouldering the responsibility of maintaining the authority of the Yang family, this time the second child was seriously injured, if he can't get the explanation back, then his prestige in the Yang family will be greatly depreciated.

Just when he was restless, a palace maid hurriedly walked out, Yang Qi recognized that this was the personal maid of the noble concubine Niangniang, Xue Yu, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Does the lady want to see me?" ”

The snow parrot shook her head and said, "Niangniang asked me to bring you a message." ”

"What?" Yang Qi was stunned.

"Niangniang said, without evidence, don't frame the minister at will, she let you do it yourself and restrain your words and deeds and those of your family."

Yang Qi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he jumped to his feet and said loudly: "Did Niangniang read what I wrote?" ”

"Of course Niangniang read it, otherwise how would she reply to you."

"This, this ......"

Yang Qi's mind was dizzy, and he suddenly asked again, "What about Your Majesty?" Is Your Majesty by the Niangniang's side? ”

"Your Majesty is in the imperial study of Datong Palace, not by Niangniang's side."

With that, the puffin turned around and left.

Yang Qi stood stunned for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "No! This matter can't just be left at that. ”

He turned around and hurried towards the Datong Palace.

．．．．．．．．．

Li Longji had finished a busy day and was about to return to the harem, when suddenly a guard came to report that Yang Qi, the secretary of Sinong Temple, had an urgent matter to see.

Li Longji sat down again and said with a smile: "Let him come in!" ”

After a while, Yang Qi hurriedly walked in, and immediately knelt down and cried: "Please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the ministers." ”

"Yang Aiqing, what's wrong? It makes you so sad. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister and the second brother were plotted against when they went out of the city, and the second brother was seriously injured....."

Yang Qi told him what happened the day before yesterday, naturally how they were polite and gave up three points, but he was hated and secretly moved, and in the end, he said Li Qing'an's name in a hurry.

"Some of us saw with our own eyes that it was he who shot an arrow that caused the horse to go crazy, Your Majesty, Li Qingan had the audacity to secretly hurt the imperial family, and I implore Your Majesty to severely punish this person."

At this time, Gao Lishi next to him said with a smile: "Since someone has seen it in person, why didn't Yang Yuanjun come to report to His Majesty the day before yesterday, but only came today?" ”

Gao Lishi reminded Li Longji with an understatement, I am afraid that it is not true that someone has seen it with their own eyes, Li Longji understands in his heart, if it is normal, maybe he will give the Yang family a face, and deal with it more or less, but now that he wants to launch the Longyou Campaign, it is precisely when he wants to boost the morale of the border generals, how can he deal with Li Qingan for a matter without evidence?

He glanced at Gao Lishi out of the corner of his eye, and said: "I know about this matter, since Guanglu Siqing is injured, let him recuperate at home, I will give more rewards, I am a little tired today, this matter will be investigated again." ”

．．．．．．．．

Yang Qi retreated, Li Longji was not in a hurry to return to the palace, but sat in front of the imperial case and pressed his temples to ponder for a long time, Gao Lishi did not disturb him, and stood with his hands hanging on the side, as a personal eunuch who followed Li Longji for decades, Gao Lishi really understood the emperor's thoughts.

After waiting for a while, Gao Lishi saw that Li Longji wanted to speak and stopped, so he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why don't you summon Yang Zhao!" ”

Li Longji sighed and said, "Okay! Xuan Yang Zhao met him. ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly went out, Li Longji only felt a splitting headache, he also occasionally heard about the Yang family's children flying in Chang'an, he generally doesn't take this kind of thing too seriously, and it is not impossible to use the Yang family to suppress the arrogance of the family's door valve, but he also has a bottom line in the middle, as long as it does not exceed this bottom line, no matter how arrogant the Yang family is, he will not interfere.

But today's Yang Qi's complaint made Li Longji suddenly realize a problem, that is, whether Yang Zhao will join the Wuyang Group, once he joins and forms Liuyang, it will be a fatal blow to his career, and Yang Zhao will not be able to fulfill his high hopes for Li Longji.

After a while, a eunuch led Yang Zhao hurriedly walked in, Yang Zhao knelt down and bowed to pay respects, "Minister Yang Zhao see Your Majesty!" ”

In the past few months, Li Longji has been very satisfied with Yang Zhao, low-key and forbearing, courteous, and diligent in political affairs, and he has to leave the court very late every day.

"Yang Aiqing, I came to you today to ask about something."

"Your Majesty, please say, the minister knows everything."

"That's the case, I heard that Guanglu Siqing was injured at Mingde Gate the day before yesterday, you are brothers, I think you must know more about it, tell me, is this matter related to Li Qing'an?"

"Your Majesty, I think it has nothing to do with Li Qingan."

When Yang Zhao said this, not only Gao Lishi was taken aback, but even Li Longji was greatly surprised.

"Oh? What do you say? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister told the truth, although Li Qing'an's archery skills are very good, but he can't say that this matter was done because he has good archery skills, the minister has advised the two brothers to cherish the reputation of the concubine, don't be too arrogant outside, but they never listen to the words of Wei Chen, this time the second brother was injured, they are even more insistent that Li Qing'an did it, there is no basis for it, and the minister deeply regrets."

Li Longji was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Yang Aiqing, I plan to let you go to Jiannan as an official, are you willing to share my worries?" ”

"I am willing to share your majesty's worries!"

"Good! I will crown you as the governor of Jiannan Jiedu and the governor of Yaozhou. ”
