【Chapter 41: Everything is Ready for the East Wind】(1)
Xiao Jiangyuan looked at Leng Tao on the long table with some reluctance, and finally stroked his stomach and walked behind Li Longji.
As soon as Li Longji arrived, the fierce battle stopped. Seeing that Ge Fushun was angry, and Chen Xuanli also looked gloomy, Li Longji was stunned, and invited the two of them to the study with a smile. As soon as he sat down, Li Longji said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" Crow slave, go and serve three portions of cold tao, I want to eat with the two generals. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment: "The slave maid ......" only made one serving.
"Go to the kitchenette and get it." Li Longji glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan, "I also asked the cook to make cold tao this morning, and I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough to eat, so I brought several people's portions." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan only ignored Li Longji's extraneous meaning, and respectfully retreated.
Chen Xuanli arched his hand and said, "Thank you, King." ”
Li Longji smiled brightly: "What is this, it's just food, don't dislike it." This summer is scorching, and I can't feel a trace of coolness when I get up in the morning, so I use some cold to refresh my heart and calm down, which is no better. ”
Ge Fushun was already half a beat slower than Chen Xuanli, and he didn't have time to thank Li Longji before answering, and when he heard Li Longji say this at this moment, he felt even more embarrassed, but when he remembered what happened last night, he felt unwilling. For a moment it was neither a salute nor a speech, and he couldn't help but sigh irritably.
"What's going on?" Li Longji looked at Ge Fushun rather amusedly.
Ge Fushun glanced at Chen Xuanli, as if he was angry, and said loudly: "The Wei family is too deceitful!" ”
Li Longji raised his eyebrows, and then thought of something, and the corners of his lips involuntarily showed a little smile, but he didn't let Ge Fushun continue: "General Chen, tell me what the hell is going on." ”
Chen Xuanli immediately told the story of last night concisely.
It's not a big deal, but it's just that when it's night, a few 10,000 horsemen get together and drink some wine - this kind of thing is of course forbidden on the surface, but in fact it has never been eradicated, and the generals and generals of the past dynasties generally turn a blind eye, after all, the taste of the night is not comfortable, although everyone is young and physically bearable, but mentally they are extremely tired.
In order to refresh the mind on weekdays and keep warm in winter, drinking alcohol has become a common thing at night. After all, the ten thousand cavalry soldiers are the personal guards of the Son of Heaven, and they always act in a measured manner, and they will never make a mistake because of drinking, and they will stop at the point, but they don't want to last night, Wei Bo and Gao Chong suddenly came violently, and they were just in time, even if they took down a few drinking brothers, they also took the whip with their own hands!
Li Longjiqi said: "Soldiers who have violated military law have their own military sticks and canes, when will they be able to use lynching?" ”
Ge Fushun said angrily: "This is not the first time! ”
Chen Xuanli added lightly: "It's just that this time, they finally caught a more decent handle, and they are even more unscrupulous and justified when they start to do it." ”
Li Longji asked, "And then?" ”
Chen Xuanli didn't say anything, only turned his eyes to look at Ge Fushun. Ge Fushun was looked at like this by Chen Xuanli, and he felt uncomfortable. He moved his buttocks, his face turned red and white, and finally said angrily: "I can't be angry, let them beat me if they want, don't bully my brothers!" ”
Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought that you couldn't be angry, so you went and beat Wei Bo and Gao Chong." It seems that although General Ge is a little rough on weekdays, he is not stupid. ”
Chen Xuanli said faintly: "He might as well do it directly, if he really killed Wei Bo and Gao Chong, things can be simpler." ”
Li Longji said: "What? ”
Chen Xuanli said: "When he stood out, Wan Qiden was divided into two factions, Wei Bo Gaochong had few people there, and there were many people on our side, and the two armies confronted each other for a long time. If it weren't for Wei Bo knowing that he was invincible, he didn't think too much about it for a while, so he came out by himself to round the scene, and 'magnanimously' did not blame the past, and left with high nobility, the king would not be able to see me today. ”
- If Wei Bo doesn't stand up, the matter is very likely to get bigger, and it will even attract the Northern Ya Forbidden Army to suppress it, and when the time comes, Ge Fu will become the leader of the rebellion by the way, although the law does not blame the public, but his life cannot be saved.
Li Longji nodded: "Although they took a step back at that time, they must be unwilling in their hearts, and they will definitely make a comeback in the future, and the momentum will be even stronger, which is unreasonable." When the ten thousand horses were still a hundred horses, but Emperor Taizong personally selected the brave and good warriors, and later the Empress of Heaven increased to a thousand horses, which was subordinate to the left and right Yulin Army, and even more high hopes, Emperor Zhongzong developed to ten thousand horses, and added officials to control...... Several generations of emperors, how much attention, but now let the villain lead the insult, I don't know what you think, anyway, I am unwilling, very unwilling. ”
Ge Fushun immediately said: "I'm not reconciled! My brothers are not reconciled! ”
Li Longji asked casually, "How many of your brothers are there?" ”
Ge Fushun was stunned for a moment, but he read it seriously and silently, counted it, but heard Chen Xuanli say: "Three hundred and twelve people." The rest of them are actually dissatisfied with the Wei family for a long time, but the Queen Mother is still there, and patience is necessary. The king's great event has not been accomplished, and we must not fan the flames and startle the snakes. ”
"So you brought him over just after you got off duty, did you plan to teach him a lesson in front of me?" Thinking of the fight between the two of them just now, Li Longji guessed.
Chen Xuanli said: "No. Chen was in a hurry to come here to tell the king that this matter was an opportunity, but it seemed that the king had already thought of it when he saw General Ge and Chen. ”
Wei Bo and Gao Chong led Wan Qi, and Li Longji knew it. Seeing that Ge Fushun was so angry as soon as he got off duty, even Chen Xuanli, who was the most stoic on weekdays, couldn't help but fight against Ge Fushun, either as a lesson, or to vent his anger, in short, it was very abnormal, and after a little thought, he guessed what might have happened not long ago. He originally just expected this, but after listening to Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli, he sighed in his heart, God help me.
At this time, Xiao Jiangyuan had already walked in with Leng Tao. After putting the three portions of Leng Tao away one by one, Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Longji glanced at each other, and the two of them bent the corners of their lips at the same time. Xiao Jiangyuan sighed secretly in his heart, he really came to what he lacked.
Li Longji did not deny it: "The new officials of the Wei family took office, and they were in the army, so they had to establish their authority, but unfortunately they didn't know how to do it, thinking that it was enough to make people afraid, but they didn't know that the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Cavalry have always attached importance to the word 'righteousness'. ”
Ge Fushun obviously didn't follow Li Longji and Chen Xuanli's train of thought, and opened his mouth blankly, only to find that he couldn't interject at all. Chen Xuanli glanced at Ge Fushun and said, "What does General Ge think?" ”
Ge Fushun snorted, and said unto be outdone: "Ge thinks that the king is right!" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan's swinging action suddenly stopped, if it weren't for the good cultivation and patience on weekdays, she would have burst out laughing. Seeing her pursing her lips and smiling, the anger that had been lingering in Li Longji's heart immediately didn't know where to go. He stared at Xiao Jiangyuan's side face, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Seeing Li Longji's expression like this, Chen Xuanli couldn't help but glance at Xiao Jiangyuan, and some rumors that he had heard on weekdays poured into his mind little by little. He had never had any expression, but at this moment he blinked a little unnaturally, and coughed lightly: "King, General Ge and Chen are okay to lead the troops, but there is really nothing they can do about this tongue." ”
Li Longji retracted his gaze: "This matter must not be let you do it, General Ge is very prestigious now, and his every move is in the eyes of everyone, if he really says something, I am afraid that it will make the Wei family pay attention, as for General Chen, he doesn't like to talk on weekdays, and if he can say so much today, San Lang is already flattered and content." Seeing that Chen Xuanli bowed his hand, he really didn't speak, Li Longji smiled, "Then it's better for Liu Gong, he has eloquence and vision, and the soldiers and horses he recruited must be usable." ”
After a pause, Li Longji said, "Wang Maozhong should also follow." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan's smile instantly froze on his lips.
Only then did Ge Fushun understand what Li Longji and Chen Xuanli were going to do, and said: "Wang Langjun and I have always been good friends, and most of the Wanqi brothers are familiar with him, which is very suitable." ”
"Then it's settled. Crow slave, send someone to invite Liu Gong to come over to the house. ”
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't answer, only silent for a while, then stood up with a slight bow. As soon as he took two steps back, he heard Li Longji say, "I'm not in such a hurry, I'll go after breakfast." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan still didn't speak, only thanked him for a long time, and then left.
No matter how delicious the cold tao is made by herself, she can't eat it. Wang Maozhong is such a big hidden danger, Li Longji doesn't get rid of it, and he even entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, is it too trusting, or is he tempting? But how can anyone tempt such an important matter, and he is not afraid of falling short?
Perhaps, she doesn't know Wang Maozhong well enough, and Li Longji has lived with Wang Maozhong for 20 years after all, and has his own way to make Wang Maozhong settle down? Thinking of Li Longji's character, Xiao Jiangyuan still thinks that this possibility is more likely, and he hopes so. Now that the troops are almost in place, everything is ready for the coup d'état, only the east wind is owed, but don't make a mistake at the last moment.
sent someone to ask Liu Youqiu, Xiao Jiangyuan did not go back to recover as soon as possible, but sat in the pavilion on the rockery. The breeze was gentle, and the heat wave was rolling, but her mood was slightly cold. At this time, Li Longye walked by the rockery, and when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan in the pavilion, he immediately ran up with a smile: "What are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan got up and saluted Li Longye: "The king is early." The slave just sits, it's too hot down there. ”
Li Longye fanned it with his hand: "It's June, it's quite hot." I have chilled fruit puree, pear-flavored, and I have carefully blended it to be both hot and sweet. Come with me, and I will give you some. ”
"Gorou, you're going to send her alone?"
The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
