Chapter Eighty-Four: The Veteran and the Young (Part II)

His original attitude towards Li Zenan may have been just appreciation, until the incident that happened in the spring of this year, his attitude towards the other party gradually changed, and he felt that the two sides could become confidants and become New Year's friends, because he felt that he and Li Zenan's goal was exactly the same - for the Northern Tang Dynasty.

After hearing about some things outside the city today, he walked around Chang'an Avenue for a long time, and thought a lot at the same time, until just now, he suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to meet Li Zenan, the king of Qin, secretly.

Indeed, it is the kind of secret view, which is not known.

It is natural that the courtiers should keep a distance from the princes and avoid being suspicious, which is completely different from Li Xianyue, who is the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and discussing military affairs with others.

He should have believed that Li Zenan would be reluctant to see him because of avoiding suspicion, but that incident in this spring let him know that Li Zenan's duty was only on the surface.

Later, His Majesty grounded Li Zenan for a few months, and there was also a warning in this regard - Li Zenan should not have anything to do with Xue Zhao and others.

Probably because he believed in Xue Zhao's loyalty, His Majesty did not do anything to Xue Zhao, but there was no guarantee that among the Yulin generals who participated in the night of the Guanfu, there would be no one who had disappeared.

In fact, the lack of severe punishment proves His Majesty's conceit, he conceited that the loyalty of the Northern Tang people to him is unshakable, but it is very likely that he is playing with fire.

When he found the Qin Wangfu here today, General Guanying didn't think too much about these things, because he knew very well that he was loyal to His Majesty and the Northern Tang Dynasty, and he had no two hearts, and everything he did was for His Majesty and the Northern Tang Dynasty.

He just paced around the courtyard, admiring the view, and contemplated these things.

After a long time, he caught a glimpse of a young man slowly walking out of a courtyard gate on the right.

The man was dressed in a brocade robe, with a long body and a handsome face, but he did not have the arrogance of a rich and noble child, on the contrary, even strangers who were not familiar with him could not help but feel that he had known you for a long time, and that he was a trustworthy friend who could confide in him.

This can give you a sense of stability, but it's dangerous.

Isn't it dangerous to be a stranger who makes you feel trusting easily?

General Guan Ying knew this, and he would be wary of this, but that didn't stop him from admiring the other party and feeling that this was a fellow trader worth discussing.

"In a hurry today, the old general returned to Beijing, and he couldn't greet him in person, Xue Nan felt guilty, no, the old general found it himself, this is really embarrassing!" Before Li Zenan arrived, he smiled and heard it first, and he could feel his kindness early.

"Knowing that His Royal Highness King Qin is busy with everything, but he still came to disturb him, the old man is not happy in his heart, I hope His Royal Highness will not blame." General Guanying said.

Li Zenan waved his hand.

"The plum blossoms in the courtyard suddenly became more bright and moving under the sunlight, and I was surprised, and suddenly heard the news of the old general's personal visit, and sure enough, this is the legendary Pengsheng Sheng!"

General Guanying seemed to be really amused by his words, and his modest posture faded a lot, and he laughed and said: "There is such a thing, but this kind of thing did not happen in His Highness's house, but on the plum blossoms, which is really interesting." But since this is the case, Lao Yu will not say much, but dare to ask how His Royal Highness King Jin is doing in the days when Lao Yu is not there? ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked around.

Li Zenan understood his movements, stretched out his hand and gestured slightly, and the people of the Qin Palace's mansion retreated one after another with their fists clenched.

"Isn't it good to be well fed, warmly dressed, alive, have flowers to see, and things to do, and life like this?" Li Zenan smiled.

"It sounds really good, there are so many storms and thunders in Chang'an, and His Royal Highness is leisurely, which is a rare sight." General Guanying's smile was a little restrained, and he looked at the other party very solemnly.

Li Zenan's expression did not change in the slightest, he was still smiling, but he was smiling and silent.

General Guan Ying stopped talking, so he fell silent.

The silent atmosphere seemed a little bizarre, with the elegant scenery in the courtyard, as well as the bright sunshine and quiet atmosphere, it should be very beautiful, but the piece between the two of them was vaguely depressing.

"Everyone has already left, the old general has something to say," Li Zenan walked towards the hall and said, "The tea has been served, such a good tea, the weather is cold, if it is cold, it is a pity." ”

General Guan Ying had already understood what he meant, nodded, and followed him as he walked.

The tea in Qinwangfu is indeed very good, and it is flower tea, which is a little rude for others to use this flower tea when entertaining guests, but here in Li Zenan, no one will feel that there is anything wrong with this.

After such a long time, the tea is indeed no longer hot, General Guanying took a sip slightly, and said, "It tastes very good, but I am not used to drinking it." ”

"It's good to get used to it." Li Zenan smiled.

"But this scene of Chang'an is old and decayed, and I really can't get used to it." General Guan Ying pointed out.

"What kind of scene?" Li Zenan put down the teacup and looked at the scenery in the courtyard in front of him, the scenery they said and the scenery he saw in his eyes constantly overlapped, so it had a very special charm.

"Chang'an Mansions," General Guanying tilted his head, paying attention to his expression, and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and ......"

He paused.

"Guan Kuo."

Li Zenan didn't speak immediately, but his expression changed slightly.

General Guan Ying continued.

"On the way here, I walked around and saw the flowers, I already knew roughly what was going on, Guan Kuo turned over the clouds and rain, and there were conflicts with the various provinces of Chang'an, His Majesty seemed to value him, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin also had an unusual attitude towards him, which I had already seen when I was in northern Xinjiang. It is probably because of this that he also has the confidence to mess around in Chang'an, and the conflicts between the Chang'an provinces and him are natural. ”

"What tricks did the old guys use, Guan Kuo was sent to prison, but I don't understand what Your Majesty thinks, he actually put the sons and daughters of various provinces in prison, and led the Yulin Army to execute the people of Li Xianyue, the king of Jin."

He paused and stopped talking, probably waiting for Li Zenan to say something, or express something, even if there was a bigger wave in his expression.

But Li Zenan didn't speak for a long time.
