Chapter 367: Meeting
"Besides, since the first thing I did when I entered the mansion was not to ask me for tea, but to follow the horse back to the small courtyard, what is this? Don't be afraid of other people's jokes when you say it?! Although Li Jing is short-tempered and arrogant and unreasonable, there is indeed nothing wrong with what she said.
Qing'er couldn't look at the new Mingyue, and when she saw Li Jing say this, she couldn't help but add fuel and vinegar and said: "But it's true that she doesn't understand the rules too much, maybe it's because Hualou came out, so no one teaches her, don't be too angry, princess." Sure enough, the more Li Jing said this, the more angry she became, she clenched her fists and strode towards Mingyue's courtyard with Qing'er.
wanted to teach Mingyue a lesson, but when she went in, she found that Mingyue was so unhappy with Wang Hui, where did the colt treat Li Jing like this? Li Jing suddenly became angry, but she didn't go in to ask the teacher, but turned around and went back to her room and changed into a set of princesses' court clothes.
Directly ordered someone to set up a horse, entered the palace and prepared to complain to the emperor, although no one could stop Nache, but no one could show the eldest princess such a face, regardless of dignity and inferiority, and did not know the rules, such a woman should have been beaten out a long time ago.
On the other side of Rosewood Street, Li Yan only brought Wen Yao, so that it would not attract much attention, the two of them quietly left the palace and ran directly to the backyard of Sima Ping, the general of Sima, where a small door had already been opened, as if to greet them specifically, Wen Yao observed the surroundings after entering, and found that no one followed and closed the door with his backhand.
There were already small servants waiting for Wen Yu and Li Yan inside, and when they saw the two of them coming in, they said respectfully: "Our general is waiting in the backyard, and I will take the two of them over." So saying, he bent down to lead the way, and turned left and right for a while before leaving the garden and reaching the backyard.
Sima Ping sat next to the stone table, quietly drinking tea there, waiting for them, saying that he was sick and didn't go out, but he was full of energy and couldn't see it at all, he looked sick, wearing a soft armor, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he had just practiced, and when he saw Li Yan and them coming, he quickly stood up and said with a smile.
"The last time the prince sent a letter over, I knew that you and I were going to meet one day, and so was the national teacher, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you are still so graceful." When the first emperor died, in fact, the person who wanted to pass on the throne was this Duan Wangye, but he was later taken by Li Tingjie, and later this prince was poisoned and kept recuperating and no longer went out.
Gradually, everyone was convinced of Li Ting, but Li Ting was extravagant and wasteful since he became the emperor, regardless of the life and death of the people and the newly established queen Zheng Yan'er forced Shen to death.
This also gave Sima Ping a reason, saying that he was sick at home, and he hid for a while, Li Yan smiled at Sima Ping, and said lightly: "Because I know that the general is not a mediocre person who does nothing, and he is not willing to keep calling himself sick at home." If Sima Ping liked to live such a life, he could have returned to the countryside to farm more than ten years ago, but Sima Ping did not choose to do so.
Instead, he retreated to the General's Mansion, presumably waiting for another rise. Sima Ping didn't answer in a hurry, but beckoned Li Yan and Wen Yu to sit down, poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and said lightly: "What is mediocre or not, it was all more than ten years ago, the prince didn't say much in the letter last time, are you going to talk to me in detail today?" ”
Li Yan took the tea and took a sip lightly and said, "Yes, I want to ask the general to borrow troops!" Everyone is a smart person, you don't have to turn around to talk, open the skylight and say bright words, so that it is more refreshing, Sima Ping heard this but said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this is a joke, I have handed over the military power, where is the person who comes?" Could it be that you are asking me to borrow the family in the house? ”
Wen Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a wink: "General, don't joke with us, even if you hand over the military power, those subordinates will recognize people and not tiger talismans." "Because they are all brothers who were born and died with General Sima, the Tiger Talisman is actually useful to them as well, but it depends on whose hands they are holding.
When Sima Ping heard this, he straightened up, and said with a serious face: "National teacher, be cautious, did the prince come today to make me rebel?!" Although there are some things that everyone knows, but the words they say will lead to death, Li Yan smiled impatiently: "The general's mansion is heavily guarded, I am naturally not afraid of spreading it, and the word rebellion is even more exaggerated, I just came to get back what belongs to me." "Many years ago, this position should have belonged to him Li Yan.
Sima Ping couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Why is the prince so hard, after so many years, I thought you didn't care anymore." After all, even Li Ting gradually relaxed his vigilance against King Duan, although the whole court was dissatisfied with the emperor, but after all, no one dared to think otherwise.
"I didn't care at the beginning, but it was also because of Shen..." Li Yan was halfway through his words, but suddenly stopped talking, he didn't care at first because of Empress Shen and became Li Ting's queen, but now that Li Ting killed Empress Shen and made Zheng Yan'er the queen, don't blame yourself for being ruthless. Sima Ping is also a smart person, how could he not know what Li Yan meant, sighed and added a sip of tea to Li Yan's teacup.
Empress Shen's death moved the whole court, but who would dare to talk about the emperor's family affairs? Seeing that Li Yan had found himself again, Sima Ping hesitated for a long time before he said heavily: "Alas, Lord Wang, instead of borrowing troops from me, it is better to go to the court, it is rumored that you are seriously ill every day, can the ministers take a fancy to you?" "After all, these ministers can't afford to be early.
Li Yan didn't think about it, but since he was poisoned, he hasn't been to the court for many years, he has no reason, he can't go suddenly tomorrow, Li Ting's suspicious nature can't find a way to let him go back to the fiefdom to recuperate! "General, do you believe me?" Li Yan suddenly came to this sentence out of nowhere.
Sima Ping was not sloppy, but looked at Li Yan with a serious face and said, "If I don't believe the prince, I won't let the prince come in today!" But the prince also wants me to see hope, if the prince can go to the court to participate in the council within three days, when there is a need for me, he will naturally not shirk! "After all, among the princes of the first emperor back then, Li Yan was the most capable one.
But thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who knows what kind of scene it will be in the future, Li Yan heard this, clenched the teacup in his hand, and said firmly: "Then the general will wait and see, the general will be needed when the time comes, and the general should not forget these words." After speaking, he and Wen Yu stood up, and the two of them respectfully saluted Sima Ping, and then turned around and left Sima Ping's mansion.
When he arrived at Li Yan's study in Duanwang's Mansion, Wen Yu asked curiously, "I said that you promised so quickly just now, did you think of any way?" ”
