Chapter 297: Traveling with Beauty to the Village

readx; Li Yu has officially stayed in the East Palace for three days, these palaces where his father has been the prince for more than ten years but only lived for less than two years, let Li Yu feel emotional, this will be the starting point of his life, will be the beginning of his great ambitions, he sits in the spacious hall, in front of the Zhongshu Province has just sent the folds, his instructions will become the final decision, these dizzying powers have made Li Yu completely forget his father's advice, low-key forbearance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yes, he doesn't need to forbear, he can't forbear, in his eyes, the Tang Dynasty is like a door that has been cut by a knife, as long as it is gently pushed and it will fall down, in his eyes, the finances of the imperial court are unsustainable, the rich Guanzhong grain can not be self-sufficient, the Central Plains is empty, the heavy troops are stationed in the frontier, more than seventy percent of the troops are not in the hands of the Han people, the land of Jianghuai that the court depends on for survival, has also begun to be affected by land annexation, according to the speed of land annexation in the Central Plains, five years later, Jianghuai will also have no rice to send, All of this made him unable to bear it, if he didn't stop it, then when he ascended the throne, it would be a stormy building, the Tang Dynasty was crumbling, the young man's blood surname and worries about Sheji, so that he showed a kind of toughness and publicity that was completely different from his father Li Heng at the beginning of his entry into the East Palace.

At this moment, Li Yu was sitting in the newly renovated study, carefully reviewing the thick stack of folds just sent by Zhongshu Province, which was the authority given to him by Li Longji to approve the folds on his behalf, in a sense, Li Yu is now the emperor's grandson in prison.

Next to Li Yu, Gao Lishi sat at another table, sorting out the folds for Li Yu, at this time Gao Lishi was also full of emotion, he didn't expect that Li Longji would be so generous to delegate power to the emperor and grandson, the former prince Li Heng has been in the East Palace for more than ten years, and has never received the right to approve the folds, but his grandson Li Yu has gotten it, is this Li Longji's trust? Maybe there is a point, cultivate the prince, but Gao Lishi knows that this is more of an excuse for Li Longji's own unintentional government, and it is more reassuring to give power to his grandson than to his son, as for delegating himself to the East Palace, there are both assistants and surveillance, but it is more to remind Li Yu not to overstep his identity, not to do things that cross his role, he is just a prince, and he has no right to approve major military affairs or the appointment of officials above the third rank, and he still has to report to the saint, on the other hand, he can't take the power of the country, He has to learn to adapt to his role, just to supervise the country, and not let Datang slide in a dangerous direction, despite this, Gao Lishi is still very pleased, from this vigorous prince, he sees the hope of Datang again.

At this time, when Gao Lishi saw a little eunuch appear at the door, he asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"Gao Weng, Li Qing'an is here!"

"Oh! Invite him in. ”

Gao Lishi thought about it, then got up and walked out, walked outside the hall, and just saw Li Qing'an coming, Gao Lishi smiled slightly: "Qilang, congratulations on your promotion to the king of the county." ”

Li Qingan also smiled: "I also congratulate Gao Weng on coming to the East Palace!" ”

Gao Lishi couldn't help but shake his head and said with a wry smile: "Everyone said that I was demoted to the East Palace, but you came to congratulate me, why did you come?" ”

"It's a joy to accompany the new monarch, and it's a joy not to have to return to your hometown, what does Gao Weng think I said?"

"You!"

Colliers patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Come in!" The prince is waiting for you! ”

Li Qing'an and Gao Lishi walked into the side hall, but at a glance they saw Li Yu standing at the door of the study, so he smiled and said, "Is the general just coming to see me now?" ”

Li Qing'an hurriedly walked a few steps, stepped forward and bowed, "See His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson!" ”

"The general doesn't have to be polite, please come in quickly!"

Li Yu has never attached so much importance to Li Qing'an as at this time, his imperial grandfather has clearly told him that Li Qing'an is the person who has settled down to protect him, before he ascends the throne, he will be promoted to Longyou, Hexi Jiedu, and protect him on the throne with heavy troops, Li Yu of course knows the importance of military power, in addition to Li Qing'an, the other major festivals are nominally loyal to the saint, in fact, they all have their own backstage, An Lushan and Yang Guozhong are allied, Yang Guozhong is his father's mortal enemy, and he must also be his opponent, Gao Xianzhi has already shown signs of taking refuge in Zhang Yun, and Zhang Yun's ambiguous attitude makes him dare not trust, as for Ge Shuhan, he is nominally a descendant of the saint, but in fact he is also a wall-riding faction, which is difficult to trust, then only Li Qingan is his hardcore supporter, Li Yu knows the important surname of Li Qingan.

On the other hand, Li Qing'an was not only the same age as him, but also had a strong opposition to the land annexation, which made Li Yu feel a sense of pity.

He invited Li Qingan into the study and said with a smile: "The general is about to get married, I congratulate you here first." ”

If Li Yu said these words half a month ago, it must have been a sour feeling, and there was even a kind of jealousy, after all, Dugu Mingyue was the beauty he dreamed of, and he didn't know that Dugu Mingyue would have become his queen, just because of the intrusion of Li Qingan, an outsider, and took away his Dugu concubine, but now for him, it is not the time to have both the beauty of the country and the mountain, the society of the country is far more important than the beauty, Li Qingan represents his country, therefore, giving away the beauty is also a kind of capital to get the country, With such calculations, Li Yu's heart knot was easily solved.

Li Yu warmly invited Li Qingan to sit down, ordered someone to pour him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "When is the general going back?" ”

Li Qingan said with a smile: "The Battle of Longyou needs time to prepare, and I plan to return to Anxi with my family after I get married, hoping that His Royal Highness can be fulfilled." ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "You mean you want to take your wife back with you?" ”

Li Qing'an nodded, that's what he meant, according to the convention, the feudal officials must keep their families in Chang'an, such as Ge Shuhan's wife and children, Gao Xianzhi also left his wife and children in Chang'an, An Lushan left his son An Qingzong in Chang'an, this is their hostage, the original intention was to prevent them from supporting the army and rebelling, but to this day, this rule is actually meaningless, if you really want to rebel, you will not care about the family in Beijing, and furthermore, Li Longji has also sent eunuchs to supervise the army in all border armies, which is more effective than keeping hostages in Beijing.

Although they said that, everyone still consciously left their families in Beijing, and they didn't want to break this rule, and Li Qingan wanted to take his wife away, and Li Yu also knew that there was a special reason for this, but after all, this was a broken rule, since Li Qingan told him, he hoped that he could approve it.

Li Yu pondered for a moment, from his original intention, he also hoped that Li Qingan would take Mingyue away, he didn't want Mingyue to become his imperial grandmother, but he had no right to approve Li Qingan to take his wife and daughter away, and he also had to ask the imperial grandfather for instructions.

"General, of course I agree with General Li to take his wife and daughter to Anxi, but I need a reason to explain to the Holy Lord."

Li Qingan smiled slightly: "Maybe I didn't make it clear, I didn't want to take my wife to Anxi to live for a long time, I just wanted to take her to the broken leaves to worship the tomb of her parents, this is human nature, and it is not a big thing to violate the rules, I will let her come back after she finishes worshipping her parents." ”

Li Yu slapped his head, 'High! Why didn't he think of this excuse, when the person left, when he came back, that was another matter, and then he would find an excuse, it would be as easy as a snap, the two looked at each other, there was a smile in their eyes, and they both understood.

Li Yu immediately said happily: "Since the general just wants to take his wife to worship the ancestors, there is no need to alarm the saint again, and I can make the decision on this matter." ”

Li Qing'an was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and thanked: "Then thank Your Highness." ”

"The general is not polite, there is something else I want to discuss with the general."

Li Yu gave Gao Lishi a look, and Gao Lishi immediately said to the few little eunuchs who were waiting on the side: "The cabinet in His Highness's study may be ready, let's go and help move it together!" ”

He led a few little eunuchs out of the study, and gently closed the door, Li Yu saw that everyone was gone, so he lowered his voice and said: "The eldest grandson Quanxu has been demoted, and the saint wants to transfer Han Xiumin, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, to the general of Zuo Yulin's army, so that Hedong Jiedu will make his position vacant, and it will definitely attract competition, can the general provide me with a candidate?" ”

Li Qing'an didn't expect this matter, he pondered for a while and asked, "Did the saint propose a candidate?" ”

Li Yu shook his head and said: "I only talked about this matter yesterday morning, but in the afternoon, Yang Guozhong proposed his candidate, and he suggested that An Lushan should concurrently serve as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu. ”

Li Qing'an jumped, in history, it was indeed An Lushan who concurrently served as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, so that he had the soldiers of the three towns, and finally rebelled, and the power of Hedong Jiedu could not be taken away by An Lushan no matter what, which was not in his interests Li Qingan.

"Does anyone else have a plan?"

"Zhang Yun proposed Feng Changqing to take over, and Wang Heng suggested that Fu Meng Lingcha come to succeed him."

Li Qing'an couldn't help but smile, they are all members of Anxi, Feng Changqing is naturally Gao Xianzhi's candidate, Fu Meng Lingcha is the deputy protector of Anton, and he is also idle, I don't know when he hooked up with Wang Heng, at this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile: "I have a candidate, Your Highness may wish to consider it." ”

"General, please!"

Li Qingan said slowly: "I want to find a person who is easy for His Highness to control, and this person is also from Anxi, and he is also familiar with Hedong, so he turned out to be my opponent, but he is quite depressed now, can His Highness guess who he is?" ”

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about Governor Lu Shi Cheng Qianli?" ”

Li Qingan nodded slowly, "It's this person!" ”

Li Yu hesitated a little and said: "This person turned out to be the Qingwang Party, and he was the opponent of the general, I propose him, it's not very suitable!" ”

"Nope! No! He is my opponent in name, in fact, the person he hates deeply is Gao Xianzhi, and the Holy Lord will be happy to have another person who has a bad relationship with me by His Royal Highness's side, although he used to be the Qingwang Party, but now he should learn from the pain, with this person as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, it will be a great reinforcement for His Highness. ”

Li Yu muttered, "Let me think about it!" Let me think about it! ”

"Your Highness, the minister will leave first."

........ Early the next morning, Li Qing'an's carriage slowly stopped in front of Dugu Mansion, he was already a little tired of the intrigue in Chang'an, and today the surname Suo took himself on a day off and took the beauty to his manor to play.

Li Qingan originally only wanted to take Mingyue alone, so that a lot of interesting things could happen in his well-covered carriage, but his sister-in-law didn't have the heart of Chengren's beauty, and she insisted on being sandwiched between them as a candle, which made Li Qingan's dream come to naught.

The Mingyue Mingzhu sisters had been waiting at the door for a long time, they were carrying a small bag, which was the lunch prepared by Mingyue, when Li Qing'an's carriage had just stopped, Mingzhu rushed up with cheers, but the car door had not yet opened, she was very anxious, and slammed the car door, "Brother Li, hurry up and open the door." ”

Li Qingan opened the door with a headache, Mingzhu suddenly rushed up, and Li Qingan complained in a low voice: "Little girl, it's a good thing to spoil me." ”

"Hee-hee! You don't care about the past few days anyway. ”

Mingzhu grinned and got into the car, but whispered in his ear: "Do you think I'm stupid?" If I don't go with me, will my mother let my sister go out alone with you? This kind of thing is up to my mother, understand? My second soldier! ”

The three words 'Second Master Bing' suddenly reminded Li Qingan of the lively little girl a few years ago, his heart suddenly became clear, patted her head and smiled: "Actually, I like you very much, I am also very happy that you can go with me." ”

'Like? ’

Mingzhu suddenly became embarrassed, her pretty face was flushed, the tiger energy that rushed into the car just now suddenly disappeared without a trace, pulled her skirt, Wen Wen sat down quietly in front of the car window, but Li Qingan's head hurt even more.

At this time, Mingyue Yingying walked over, perhaps because she went out to play, she was dressed up very simple today, wearing a peach-colored pomegranate skirt, the skirt did not mop the floor, her face was coated with a thin layer of fat powder, her hair was combed very tightly, and a jasper hairpin was inserted obliquely, her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her eyes were like autumn water, and her lips were a little bit of cherry blossoms, which made her plump, soft and elegant, Li Qingan was the first time to see Mingyue wearing light makeup, such a light and elegant beauty, like a hibiscus out of the water, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"Li Lang!"

Mingyue complained to him in a low voice, and Li Qingan laughed: "It's nothing, I was thinking about one thing just now, and I was distracted." ”

Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, looked into the carriage, turned around and beckoned, "Come on!" The carriage was empty, and we could sit down. ”

I saw two women holding packages coming out of the door, and Li Qingan's anger was suddenly vented, it was his pair of treasures, and the twin sisters were picturesque.

The two sisters stepped forward a little embarrassed and gave Li Qingan a salute, "Big brother, we didn't want to come, but the eldest sister must let us come." ”

"Hey! What is this, let's go together and be happy. ”

Li Qingan looked at the door again and asked a little strangely, "What about the dance clothes?" Why didn't she come? ”

Rushi and Wuyi have the best relationship, and she hurriedly said: "Sister Wuyi said that she was going to write a new song, and she just found a feeling, and said that she would go with us next time." ”

Li Qing'an knew that with the surname of Qinggao in dance clothes, she really wouldn't go, and he didn't say anything, so he said to everyone: "Okay, we're on the road, everyone get in the car!" ”

Mingyue took the picturesque sisters to the car, and the spaciousness in the carriage made the picturesque sisters exclaim at once, "Big brother, your carriage is simply a mobile room!" ”

Ruhua found that there was a small door inside, so she curiously pushed it open and took a look, only to see that there were two rows of bookshelves inside, full of all kinds of books, and a thick blanket on the ground, which could be slept.

The four women all sat down at the small table, but Li Qingan sat on the other side, looking at the four pretty women with a smile, and a thought suddenly occurred in his heart, why didn't he make a pair of mahjong, wouldn't it be just the same table?

At this moment, the carriage shook lightly and set off slowly, 'Whoa! With a sound, Mingzhu shook off the small bag she brought, and the five sticks of canopus rolled down on the table, and she smiled: "Do you want to bet?" ”

Picturesque clapped his hands and smiled: "I regret not bringing the calamus!" Coincidentally, you brought it, okay, let's play together. ”

Mingyue pouted and said, "Isn't it enough to gamble with your group of fox friends all day long?" It doesn't stop now. ”

Mingzhu saw that her sister revealed her old bottom in front of Li Qingan, and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it boring on the road?" I'm going to Weinan County! ”

Mingyue didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she got up and pushed open the small door, "I'll go find a book to see, Li Lang, what books do you have here?" ”

Li Qingan took the opportunity to follow in, closed the car door, but hugged her waist from behind, Mingyue was so frightened that she hurriedly waved her hand and pointed outside, but Li Qingan didn't care about her, stretched out his mouth to kiss her, Mingyue didn't dare to make a noise, so he had to half-push and half-let him be light.

"Brother Li, you can calculate the score!" Mingzhu shouted uninterestingly outside.

"Alright, let's go!"

Mingyue gently pushed him away and tidied up her skirt, her face was blushing, and she whispered coquettishly: "If you are so dishonest again, I won't come out with you in the future." ”

"Huh! Mingyue, which book do you like to read, huh! The Art of War or Zhuangzi? ”

Outside, Mingzhu and Ruhua covered their mouths and smiled, Rushi was more reserved, she shushed, waved her hand and said, "Come out!" ”

Mingzhu and Ruhua hurriedly sat up, looked out the window seriously, the door opened, Li Qingan walked out, and said with a smile: "What, are you waiting for me?" ”

"The three of us played, but no one counted the points, how can we play."

"Good! I'll count the points for you, gamble as much as you want, lose is mine, win is your own. ”

Li Qing'an sat down, one hand over five wooden chess, the Mulberry is the most popular gambling tool in the Tang Dynasty, made of the Oak wood, so it is called the Mulberry, and because of this wooden throwing tool five pieces of a group, so it is also called the play of the five woods, the five throwing tools are two ends round and sharp, the middle is flat and wide, like a flattened almond, each throwing tool has two sides, one side is painted black, one side is painted white, the black surface is painted with a calf, the white surface is painted with a pheasant, when gambling, the five wood is thrown out at the same time, let it turn and lie down after jumping, and then look at the different permutations and combinations that it is matched by the sky side, That is, the so-called "picking", five of which are all black, called "Lu", is the highest picking, four black and one white for "pheasant", is second only to "Lu" good picking, commonly known as gambling for "Hulu drinking pheasant", the dictionary is here, a bit like today's dice throwing.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Pu is a game that both young and old like, the popularity is like today's rubbing hemp, a big family gathering, after eating and drinking, the young people will run to throw arrows and throw pots, the older people will get together to play the Pu to gamble, the Tang people are good at gambling, this style is the same from the folk to the court, Li Longji often gets together with the four sisters of the Yang family to gamble and drink, and Yang Zhao, who has just entered Beijing, stands aside to score, he is a master of this way, first won the trust of Li Longji from the casino.

In the carriage, the three little ladies rolled up their sleeves, revealing six delicate jade arms like white lotus, everyone's eyes were nervous, and Mingzhu was even more red-faced, staring at the rotating canopy and shouting: "Lu! Lou! Lou! ”

Mingyue was half-leaning on the cushion on the other side to read a book, but a pair of beautiful eyes secretly looked at Li Qingan from time to time, but she thought about the beautiful scene in the back carriage just now.

The carriage quickly left Chang'an City and headed for Weinan County.
