Chapter 672: Leaving Chang'an

Li Siye entered the palace for three days in a row, was given by the emperor to sit with his close attendants, whether he went out to enjoy the flowers or traveled to Qujiangchi, he was ordered to accompany him, even the emperor and Yang Yuhuan rode a horse to play and laugh, he also had to follow him as a light bulb, fortunately he grinded the dough thick enough, not only did not feel embarrassed, but also gags and said two playful compliments, which made the emperor and Yang Yuhuan laugh and tremble on the horse.

Yang Guozhong also often accompanies the king, but as soon as he saw Li Siye, his face couldn't help but droop, and his expression was like a concubine competing for favor in the harem. The biggest difference between him and Li Siye An Lushan is that he wrapped his vines around Li Longji's big tree, although the growth rate is extremely fast, the trunk withers and falls, and the vines will also die. And Li He'an is like a small sapling growing under the emperor's umbrella, although he is also protected by the emperor's grace, but after he grows, he is enough to stand on his own.

Taking advantage of Li Siye's absence, Yang Guozhong took the opportunity to speak in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, Li Siye, as a general in a border town, has stayed in the court for a long time, and I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the border defense. He himself is satisfied with the prosperous life of Chang'an, but he forgets the suffering of the soldiers of the border people, which is really not right. If His Majesty is unwilling to give an explicit order for fear of hurting his face, the minister himself can go and order him to leave the capital with words. ”

"Well," Li Longji thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, Guozhong, I'll leave this matter to you to talk about, but don't talk too much and hurt Dr. Li's face." ”

Listening to the conversation of this monarch and minister, the little eunuch standing on the side narrowed his eyes, and then lowered his head quietly.

Yang Guozhong walked out of the palace gate with great ambition, and was about to personally go to Li Siye's mansion to play a prestige and drive him out of Beijing, but after thinking about it carefully, he himself was not very eloquent, and he should go back to the palace to find someone to write a speech and use the most fierce words to drive Li Siye away. After that, he walked towards the Yang Mansion with a smile in his heart.

The little eunuch in the palace found an opportunity to come out of the palace gate, and came to the outside of Li Siye's mansion in Guangfufang along the side street, and knocked lightly on the side door. Menzi met him and led him into the inner room, where Li Siye invited him to take a seat, and then listened to him recount the details of the events that had taken place in the palace.

"Thank you father-in-law for telling me, come here, take some silver collar and reward my father-in-law."

"Dr. Li is polite. That's what I should do. ”

After the eunuch left, Li Siye stood in the hall and pondered, feeling more and more ridiculous, brushing his beard and snorting contemptuously: "I'm afraid that I will take your favor in Chang'an, I don't want to stay in Chang'an, now Hexi, Beiting, and Anxi are the places where I am like a fish in water, but I want to see if you can make a few sparks with An Lushan in Chang'an." ”

Naturally, he would not wait for Yang Guozhong to come here to find it, and the provincial government was angry with him, and directly wrote a letter to the emperor asking for a return, saying that although he was reluctant to give up His Majesty, the border town could not be a military general for a day, so he had to give up his feelings for His Majesty.

The emperor also thought that Yang Guozhong's Zu'an words had been directly passed on to Li Siye, and he was a little reluctant in his heart. He also rewarded him with some belongings, and ordered the civil and military officials to see him off on the willow bank outside the city, and then sent him out of the palace.

After Li Siye walked out of the palace, he did not return to the palace, and went directly to the backyard of Hexi to call his own wave of honor guards, and after a night of repair, he left Chang'an tomorrow, and he himself stayed in the backyard of Hexi that night.

Moreover, Yang Guozhong returned to his mansion and called five or six royal literati under his command, each of whom wrote an impassioned scolding letter, most of which criticized Li Siye for being nostalgic for Chang'an, not thinking about changing troubles, and some of them were more serious, directly comparing Li Siye with those who died such as Gai Jiayun. Of course, Yang Guozhong wants to adopt the heaviest tone.

On the way to Li Siye's mansion, he did not forget to recite sharp words on a silk cloth to ensure that he could pronounce it more accurately at that time.

As a result, Yang Guozhong came to Li Siye's mansion, and heard that this person was not in the mansion, and he was really sorry in his heart. He immediately called the steward of the Li Mansion to look outside, and called him back to the mansion with the emperor's chicken feather order, but before that, he could wait for a while, as long as he was still in Chang'an City, he would definitely return to the mansion before the curfew after dark.

But he waited from day to dusk with a group of slaves, until the sound of forbidden drums came from the Danfeng Gate on the horizon, Yang Guozhong finally couldn't support it, and scolded the stewards of the Li Mansion: "I came to reprimand Li Siye by His Majesty's command!" If he is not in the mansion, he will send you dogs and slaves out to look for it, and you will dare to deceive! Are you really not afraid of the king's law, be careful of me whipping Er and others today! ”

At this time, the chief steward of Li Siye's mansion came back and bowed to Yang Guozhong. Yang Xianggong stepped forward and grabbed the right side of his shirt, and asked angrily, "Where is Li Siye?" Why didn't he dare come to me? ”

The chief steward raised his head and said calmly: "This morning, my family Ah Lang has already presented His Majesty with a letter, and has decided to bid farewell to Jun En in advance and go to Hexi, and now he is staying in the backyard with the team. My Ah Lang asked me to tell Yang Xianggong. Thanks to Yang Xianggong for being so concerned, he has never left Chang'an, and hopes that Xianggong will not be nostalgic. ”

Yang Guozhong smiled on the surface, but in his heart he was furious: "Lao Tzu is nostalgic for you fart!" I finally borrowed His Majesty's grace to scold you, but I didn't expect you kid to be so slippery, and he actually told the emperor in advance that he wanted to leave Chang'an, so my preparations fell into vain. ”

In the early morning of the second day, the morning light of Chang'an was bright, the sound of roosters crowed all over the Leyou Yuan, the palace eaves were crowned with bucket arches, and the red pillars were arranged like stars. The Three Towns Festival made Li Siye leave Chang'an, and hundreds of officials of the imperial court saw each other off on the willow bank outside the city.

It has been more than a year since the last time he received such a courtesy, when he left Chang'an after his new immortal achievements, the emperor also sent a hundred civil and military officials to see each other off in this post station outside the city as he did today, at that time there were not only civil and military officials, but also Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu This pair of enemies, but today's lineup is not bad. Chen Xilie, Wei Jiansu, and Cui Rong and Cui Yuan, the Yang family seemed to be angry at home and refused to come to see each other.

Li Siye smiled and clasped his fists at everyone, with his current qualifications, he would not perform the cross-hand etiquette to anyone except the emperor.

"Doctor Li, see you later."

"Goodbye, princes."

"Doctor Li, please cherish it."

"Please cherish it too."

He stepped on the war horse and led the team, two in front and six in the back, and the banner hunting swayed in the west wind, heading towards the Wei River.

There is an ancient pavilion on the bank of the Wei River, and someone has prepared a banquet in the pavilion, and a man in a vermilion shirt sits behind the desk. Outside the pavilion, there was a handsome and extraordinary young Taoist priest holding a whisk in his hand, leading the horses, as if waiting, but Li Siye's horse team had a cold expression when it arrived.

Li Siye raised his palm and commanded everyone to stop, while he turned over and dismounted, walked slowly to the pavilion, and looked at the Taoist in front of him, and the two of them tacitly raised their hands and saluted.

He bowed to the man in the pavilion and crossed his hands and said, "Humble Li Siye see the crown prince." ”
