Chapter 630: There are contradictions and opposites
Yang Guozhong faced everyone with a wine cup, and continued to start the topic of his battle as a troll: "Tell me about these people, how can they be so favored? ”
He set his eyes on the many officials, but they avoided his gaze, did not dare to nod their heads in agreement, and were not willing to follow their coaxing. The reason is very simple, you Yang Guozhong is a relative of the emperor and is favored by the emperor, we don't have a backstage like you, we have to be careful when we speak. As far as the four you said, except for Gao Xianzhi, who became the general of the right Yulin and fell into his idle position, the other three were all dignified envoys of the border towns, and four-fifths of the troops of the Tang Dynasty were in their hands, and all three of them were favored in front of the emperor. If we have sinned against them, do we have good fruit to eat? There is also An Lushan, except for the right minister Li Linfu, how could he have taken these people in the court and the central government in his eyes.
Yang Guozhong didn't care about it, he had to find a sense of identity here, and said loudly with the wine: "For example, if someone is appointed as the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, the sage named him the king of Dongping County, and promoted his two sons to Taifuqing and Hongluqing, every time he enters Beijing to give a banquet, he will sit next to His Majesty, which is the position where Dr. Li is sitting now." Every time he left Beijing, he had to send civil and military officials to see him off by the Baqiao outside the city, and he was in charge of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the three towns. But look at the bird fight he fought! The crusade is just two tribes grazing in the poor mountains and bad waters, and they have repeatedly won victories for more than ten years, but the two small tribes are getting stronger and stronger, and the fight is becoming more and more prosperous. I really doubt that his exploits over the years are true or not, and I especially doubt that he is raising his own respect! ”
Everyone lowered their heads and muttered, thinking that Yang Guozhong really dared to say this. Li Siye listened carefully with a wine cup, and seemed to have a taste for it, Yang's battle today seemed to be aimed at An Lushan alone.
As far as he knew, Yang Guozhong's relationship with An Lushan in the past was not too bad, even if Yang Guozhong was jealous of An Fatzi's favor in front of the emperor, how angry he was in his heart, but he could still maintain it on the surface.
Because of the year-old mother-son relationship between An Lushan and Yang Guifei, An Lushan called the Yang family sisters aunts, and when facing Yang Guozhong, he directly called Yang Lang or called the official position, this generation is a bit chaotic, but the court and the central government did not take this kind of playful relationship as a thing, and Yang Guozhong did not need to turn his face because of this.
Moreover, this year, in the matter of forcing Li Linfu's confidant Absi, Yang Guozhong and An Lushan have not so tacit cooperation, and the abnormality of pretending to be drunk at the moment is really too suspenseful.
Li Siye put down the wine cup and said to Yang Guozhong indifferently: "Yang Zhongcheng, you are a little drunk. ”
"Ha, where did you tell I was drunk? Inheritance, people are afraid of comparison, compared with you, what kind of thing is this person. ”
Li Siye suddenly realized, he finally figured it out, this goods he wanted to get himself to the opposite side of An Lushan, if you think about it like this, this Yang Guozhong still has a lot of goods in his stomach, but is this method he came up with?
He looked up at the gauze tent in the apse, and only the eunuch Yuan Siyi was standing. But behind the translucent gauze tent in the haze, there seemed to be a heavy shadow, and the silhouette looked like a fat person, but the gauze tent only shook a little, and the shadow gradually dimmed and disappeared into the ethereal palace veil.
He thought his eyes were glazed, but when he looked at it again, it seemed that there was nothing. Only Yuan Siyi's nostrils were facing the sky, squinting at the dead fish eyes and looking at the caisson above. Yuan turned a blind eye to Yang Guozhong's hustle and bustle in front of him. This is a relative of the mother's family, and he is also the favorite of the saint, as long as he does not die and sits on the saint's special seat in front of the fan in the Majesty's Screen Palace, he can turn a blind eye.
Yang Guozhong was really drunk, and his right side was covered to reveal the white mid sheet inside, and he was still chanting "What kind of things are they," and walked out of the calyx building with Ji Wen's support, and the ministers also dispersed.
Li Siye finally stood up, holding the case table in his hand and staggered for a moment, Yuan Siyi walked up to him with a whisk in his hand, and said with a smile: "Doctor Li, Your Majesty just ordered, if Doctor Li is drunk, stay in the Calyx Tower today, and the sage has also sent four palace ladies to serve you." ”
He followed Yuan Siyi's instructions and looked over, and saw four women standing on the side of the palace pillar, with snails on their heads, wearing concubine-colored shawls and flower skirts, their shoulders slightly exposed, tall and plump, and their eyes were shyly looking down at the ground. It's just that the snow-white lead powder and thick blush on their faces once again challenged his aesthetic.
He hurriedly crossed his hands and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, but Heiye is not drunk and does not dare to stay in the palace, so I still go back to the mansion." ”
Yuan Siyi put his hands on his back and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has instructed again, if Doctor Li is unwilling to stay in the palace, these palace ladies will be sent to the doctor's house and let them take care of your daily life temporarily." ”
Now Li Siye can't shirk and refuse, the emperor's reward is a favor, of course you can accept it, and you can accept it if you don't receive it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you."
When he came down from the Calyx Tower, it was not only the tooth general Yan Xiaosi and the subordinate general Duan Xiushi who were waiting by the palace wall, but also his maidservant Dao Rou. Li Siye looked at the three of them and said, "The autumn breeze is cold, let's go back to the house." ”
Yan Xiaosi hurriedly led the jade lion of the night, and Li Siye turned over and got on the horse.
The four of them were just about to leave, and a palace gauze tent incense cart had already driven out of the calyx door, the coachman was a palace eunuch, and the little eunuch was running on both sides of the car, and the incense car was following behind the queue of Li Siye's homecoming.
Daorou instinctively looked back vigilantly, she took advantage of the autumn wind to make the gauze tent bulge, and saw the figures of four women in the gap.
The corners of her lips unconsciously fell, her eyes glanced at the car again with hostility, and looked at Li Siye's back with resentment.
The sunset gradually set, and on the third floor of the Qinzheng Building on the other side of the palace wall, Li Longji looked back at the beauties who were sleeping with brocade in the hall, and motioned to the two palace ladies to close the partition door. His eyes fell downstairs, and the courtiers who had left the table were in twos and threes, and he vaguely saw the purple robe swaying.
Colliers walked behind him and put his cloak over his shoulders. The emperor shook his shoulders, tied his hands with ropes, pointed to the distance and said: "At the banquet tonight, Li Siye vaguely expressed to me that he wanted to serve as the envoy of the Hexi Festival, if so, he would take over the entire Xiliang and even the territory of the Western Regions. What does Aung think? ”
Gao Lishi bowed his shoulders and replied: "San Lang, the slave and maid are only in charge of the affairs in the palace, and it is inconvenient to ask about the affairs outside the palace." ”
Li Longji laughed for no reason: "I asked you to shut up for me for half a lifetime, but now I don't have to ask about things outside the palace, you don't have to worry about right and wrong, just say, it's my business to listen or not." ”
Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "It is not the first case that he has three towns, there was Wang Zhonghei who has four towns before, and today An Lushan also has three towns. However, Beiting Anxi is a vast and outnumbered army, and then the four counties of Hexi are too far away. Besides, Li Siye has made a great contribution to the new service, and the rewards and promotions are too intensive, so it is better to wait, and when he settles the affairs of Anxi and even the river properly, His Majesty will consider this matter. ”
"It is also said that the ability of the general can be judged, but only loyalty cannot be tried. I'll wait and see. ”
