Dong Yanguang finally understood what Zhang Yun meant, and asked him to ask the Yang family, which is currently the hottest in the Tang Dynasty, Dong Yanguang seemed to be hit head-on and woke up suddenly, yes! His fate is in the hands of the Tang Emperor, what could be more effective than a pillow wind?

Thinking about this, Dong Yanguang rushed home in a hurry, he had nothing to do with the Yang family, but now he has an urgent matter, so he needs to come up with a lot of blood, Dong Yanqing's home is in Baoningfang, it is a mansion covering an area of dozens of acres, just arrived at the gate of the house, his porter ran out, "Master, you came back just right!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Half an hour ago, a person came to King Qing's Mansion and said that King Qing wanted to see you and asked you to go to the palace as soon as you came back."

Dong Yanguang looked at the sky, at this time Yang Zhao may not have gone down to the court, or if he asks for King Qing, many people will have one more way to live, although Dong Yanguang is very tired, he still cheers up and goes to King Qing's mansion.

．．．．．．．

Since last year's Yangzhou incident, Qingwang Li Qing has kept a lot of low profile, until the impact of the Yangzhou incident gradually eliminated, Li Qing became active again, last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, his father allowed him to recruit virtuous, so Li Qing spent a lot of money to build a library library, as the name suggests, is a library, this library is not only rich in books, but also full of food and accommodation, recruiting famous scholars and scholars to study knowledge and teach disciples in it, after more than half a year of operation, Li Qing gradually has the name of seeking talent.

In this Longyou Campaign, Li Cong, like all the Tang Dynasty, was very concerned about the progress of the battle, and among the princes who participated in the Longyou Campaign, Li Cong also had his own force representative, that is, Dong Yanguang.

As early as ten years ago, when Dong Yanguang was still a general of Jin Wuwei, he became Li Cong's henchman, under Li Cong's careful cultivation, Dong Yanguang rose step by step, and finally became the general of the left guard, last year he was sent to the governor of Shanzhou, holding real power, becoming one of the core figures of the Qingwang Party, this Longyou campaign, Dong Yanguang caused a monstrous disaster because of a thought, Li Cong is also hateful and anxious, if Dong Yanguang is demoted, then his power in the military will be seriously damaged.

Li Cong had already received the news that someone saw Dong Yanguang returning to Chang'an, and at this moment, he was waiting anxiously in the study.

"Your Highness, General Dong is here!"

Li Cong's spirits perked up, "Quick! Let him in! ”

As soon as Dong Yanguang entered the room, he lay on the ground and cried bitterly, "Your Highness, the minister is guilty, I have failed Your Highness, Your Highness will punish me!" ”

Zhang Yun refused to ask, the relationship between the Yang family was not familiar, and now Dong Yanguang could only hold on to King Qing's thick legs.

"That's it! All right! The dignified general, what are you crying about! ”

Li Cong was a little upset by his crying, and waved his hand and said, "You sit down first, and slowly tell me the reason, what's going on?" ”

Dong Yanguang wiped away his tears, then explained what happened in detail, and finally said: "My subordinates were confused for a while, and I fell for Absi's plan to kill people with a knife, and now it's too late to regret it, and I beg Your Highness to save my life." ”

"Are you a three-year-old hairy boy? I was really embarrassed to fall for the Hu people's scheme! ”

Li Cong walked around the room with his hands behind his back, really angry in his heart, this Dong Yanguang was so stupid, didn't he know that the Battle of Longyou was a bigger thing than the sky for his father?

Dong Yanguang lay on the ground, not daring to say a word, he was staring at Li Cong's pace, from Li Cong's hurried movement, Dong Yanguang judged that Li Cong wanted to protect him, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said sadly: "My subordinates are also bent on preserving their strength for Your Highness, and I ask Your Highness to save your subordinates next time for the sake of their subordinates who have no merit and hard work." ”

"I know, this king will find a way to intercede for you in this matter, you go first! I've honestly thought about it at home, don't make trouble for me again. ”

"Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! ”

Dong Yanguang kowtowed three times, wept bitterly and retreated, Li Cong sat down slowly, at this time, his son Li Li walked out of the back room and said with a smile: "Father, do you really want to intervene in this matter?" ”

Li Cong sighed and said, "I don't know, in fact, I don't want to ask about this matter at all, but if I don't care, then the rest of the Qingwang Party will have a sense of sadness, and they will say that I am not considerate of my subordinates, and it will be difficult for me to do it!" ”

"But has my father weighed the pros and cons of this matter, and now Chang'an is full of indignation against Dong Yanguang, if my father stands up for him, won't it become Dong Yanguang's shield? became the enemy of the Anxi Army, ruined the reputation that his father had worked hard to create this year, and besides, his father rescued Dong Yanguang, and other Qingwang party members may not appreciate it. ”

Li Cong was stunned, he considered the problem relatively simply, he didn't expect that he would become the target of public criticism, he looked at his scheming son, and said with a smile: "Wu'er has any good suggestions?" ”

Li Li smiled slightly: "Father, the child's suggestion is that the thunder is small and the rain is heavy, try not to make a difference in this matter, but you can use force behind it, maybe there will be an effect of killing two birds with one stone." ”

Li Cong was very interested, and hurriedly asked, "How can you kill two birds with one stone?" ”

"The child heard that Li Qing'an and the prince are very close, if he is promoted this time, it will also mean the growth of the prince's power, the child means that the father may wish to invite Li Qing'an to the palace for a banquet, obviously to mediate the enmity between him and Dong Yanguang, so that the emperor's grandfather feels that his father is humble and can consider the overall situation, but secretly it is to disintegrate the relationship between him and the prince."

"High!"

Li Cong clapped his hands and praised: "With Li Heng's suspicious surname, he will be dissatisfied, Wu'er is really smart!" ”

．．．．．．．．．．

After Li Qing'an returned home, he wrote a letter to Gao Xianzhi, detailing the recent events into the letter, this merit dispute is not only his Li Qing'an's personal honor and disgrace, but also the honor of the Anxi Army, he must report to Gao Xianzhi.

After writing the letter, he put down the pen and dried the ink, sealed the envelope again, handed it to Jiang Xiaonian and said: "Give the letter to the Anxi Jinju Academy, and let them send it to Anxi immediately, in addition, you go to the Jinwuwei garrison again, and ask General Li Siye to come to me at night." ”

"My subordinates are going!" Jiang Xiaonian took the letter and left in a hurry.

At this moment, Steward Luo said outside the door, "Is General Li here?" ”

Li Qingan walked out of the door and smiled: "What's the matter?" ”

"General Lee, go to the door and take a look! Someone is looking for you. ”

"Who's looking for me?" Li Qingan couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw him smiling strangely.

"General Li will know when he goes." Steward Luo finally couldn't help it, covered his mouth and laughed.

Li Qingxin became more and more puzzled, he walked out of the gate quickly, but he was stunned for a moment.

I saw forty or fifty young ladies standing at the gate of Colliers, most of them fifteen or sixteen years old, all dressed up in fancy ways, and each of them made up all kinds of strange makeup, some of their faces were painted with peach blossoms, and they were dressed in moon-white dresses, like foxes coming out of the mountains; Some of the eyes were painted green, the lips were purple, and the hair was scattered, as if a demon girl was in the world, and each little lady was dressed very well, and there were ten carriages parked in the distance, apparently coming by car together, and forty or fifty little ladies were chattering at the gate, all vying to say something.

Among them, there was a pretty young lady with blood smudge makeup with the highest voice, she waved her hand and said loudly: "If you don't believe it, when my big brother Li comes out, I will hold his hand and show it to you, but if you lose, you are not allowed to pay the bill." ”

"Mingzhu, what we want to see is Li Qing'an, don't look for a person surnamed Li to fill up the number."

"Don't you believe it? I'll go in and find him. ”

In the past two days, Li Qing'an's deeds have spread all over Chang'an, becoming a hero that countless girls are fascinated by, and Mingzhu is naturally very proud, announcing her relationship with Li Qing'an to a large group of her fashionable girlfriends, which immediately attracted countless doubts, in order to defend their dignity, Mingzhu took them to Li Qing'an.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Li Qing'an standing on the steps and looking at herself with a smile, her face 'Teng! 'The ground is red,

When Li Qingan saw her, it was like a gust of wind blowing away the melancholy mist in his heart, and his heart suddenly brightened.

"Brother Li!" Mingzhu was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her eyes.

"Mingzhu, are these your friends?" Li Qingan asked with a smile.

"Hmmm! They all want to come and see you. ”

Mingzhu glanced back at the little girls, all eyes were shining at Li Qing'an, her eyes revealed an irrepressible admiration, Mingzhu was extremely proud in her heart, she shouted loudly: "Have you seen it? This is Li Qing'an, the hero of the Battle of Longyou! ”

She bit her lip lightly, quickly glanced at Li Qing'an, and whispered, "Brother Li, I made a bet with them, can you ......"

"Can it be anything?" Li Qingan stepped forward with a smile and took her hand, Mingzhu was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, she shouted in a low voice, and suddenly threw herself into Li Qingan's arms.

A girl's scream suddenly erupted in front of the Gaolishi Mansion, and the girls could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts, and rushed forward with their long skirts and surrounded Li Qing'an.

Li Qingan was so frightened that he raised his hand and shouted, "I'll give you the same thing." ”

His voice protected the wound on his back, and the little ladies quieted down all of a sudden, looking at Li Qing'an expectantly, Li Qing'an hurriedly took two steps back, his back against the door, and then smiled: "I will give you one of you an arrow, with my name engraved by my own hand." ”

The little ladies cheered, and at this moment, Li Qingan suddenly saw a young man in a brocade robe standing at the bottom of the steps, looking at him with a smile, it was Li Li, the son of King Qing, who had dealt with each other in Yangzhou.

Li Qingan smiled at the little ladies and said, "You wait a while, I'll see a friend first." ”

He walked down the steps and smiled at Li Li: "Little prince, don't come to harm?" ”

Li Li glanced at the little girls, and said with a smile: "General Li is famous in Chang'an, and he is unmarried, I don't know how many famous beautiful ladies want to marry General Li, if it is not the same surname, I also want to give my sister to General Li." ”

"The little prince is joking."

Li Qing'an saw that Li Li was holding an extremely exquisite invitation, so he smiled and said, "What is the matter with the little prince?" ”

"That's the case, my father has always admired General Li, and he wanted to meet General Li for a long time, but he never had the opportunity, so today he specially asked me to invite General Li over for a glass of water and wine."

As he spoke, he handed the invitation card in his hand to Li Qing'an, and said sincerely: "This is the invitation written by my father himself, this is the first time in five years that my father has personally written an invitation to invite the minister to a banquet. ”

Li Qingan took the invitation and looked at it, sure enough, it was Li Cong's handwriting, with his signature below, Li Qingan said apologetically: "How dare I not give the prince's face, it's just that the little prince can change the time, I have a serious back injury, and I have to undergo treatment tonight, so I really can't go out." ”

Li Li used a desperate strategy to block all possibilities for Li Qing'an, unless it was summoned by the Holy Lord or the Prince, but he had already inquired, whether it was Xingqing Palace or East Palace, there was no plan to summon any ministers tonight, if he Li Qing'an dared to use this as an excuse, then he was a big crime of privately passing on the holy decree, and in addition, what else was more important than King Qing's first personal invitation in five years?

Li Li was very proud of his desperate plan in his heart, but Li Qingan actually claimed to be seriously injured, which made him never expect, he hesitated all of a sudden, and before he could speak, Li Qingan said a little sadly: "Actually, today is the sacrifice of my grandfather's death for ten years, I want to guard his soul for him, in order to fulfill filial piety, little prince, I'm really sorry, let's change it!" Instead, I'll come to the door. ”

Li Li blinked his eyes, he couldn't say a word, he realized that his strategy was not clever, and after a while, he sighed secretly and said with a bitter face: "Then tomorrow, General Li must come to the door tomorrow." ”

"Good! I will definitely go to my appointment tomorrow, and I will never miss it except one thing. ”

Li Li was stunned for a moment, Li Qingan actually had conditions, he hesitated and asked, "I don't know what is the matter?" ”

Li Qingan looked into his eyes and said coldly: "I, Li Qingan, have clear grievances, if King Qing also invites Dong Yanguang to the banquet, then I'm sorry, I will let that dog thief's blood splash in the hall!" ”

Li Li's face became extremely unnatural, his face twitched, and he said with a dry smile: "What is General Li talking about, how could my father invite Dong Yanguang, no, at most, there are only a few Confucian scholars from the Museum to accompany him, General Li don't worry." ”

"Well, since the little prince has given me a promise, then tomorrow evening, I will definitely go to the banquet on time."

Li Li had no choice but to leave, Li Qingan looked at his back and walked away, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Brother Li, are you okay?" Mingzhu behind him finally couldn't help but speak.

Li Qingan looked back at a group of young ladies with fancy makeup, looking at him with their necks stretched out and their eyes open, and he smiled and said, "Okay! All right! I'll have it brought to you. ”

He said a few words to a pro-soldier, and the pro-soldier immediately ran back and took two pots of arrows out, Li Qingan pointed to the arrows and said to the little girls: "These are all my arrows, I will engrave names for everyone, don't worry, line up and take them one by one, and ensure that everyone has them." ”

The little ladies were so excited that they rushed to be the first, and soon they lined up in a long line, crowded and shouted and screamed, Li Qingan sat on the steps, pulled out a dagger, and began to engrave names on the arrows, he smiled and asked the little lady who was the first in line, dressed like a fox spirit, and said, "What's your name?" ”

The little lady saluted shyly and said, "The slave family is called Song Li'er." ”

"I see."

Li Qing'an carved the words 'Li Qing'an' on the arrow, handed it to her and said with a smile: "I like your makeup very much, and this arrow is for you." ”

．．．．．．

It has been carved for half an hour, and finally the carving is finished, even a few gatekeepers on the Gaolishi Mansion have mixed their own, the little ladies left happily, Li Qingan stood up a little tired, saw that Mingzhu was still standing next to him and did not leave, looked at him with a blank eye, and smiled: "Mingzhu, are you free tonight?" ”

Mingzhu was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "Yes!" Absolutely! ”

"Okay, wait a minute, you go to a place with me first, and then I'll treat you to dinner."

"Brother Li, where are we going first?"

Li Qingan smiled faintly and said, "I'm going to go to the East Palace first." ”
