Li Siye also stood up, stretched out his hand to pick up the wine cup in front of him, and replied with a calm demeanor: "In my opinion, this is not a big deal, Dr. An and I are officials in the same dynasty, and at the same time I also serve as the imperial historian, and it is my duty to supervise each other among colleagues, although it is not careful enough, but the starting point is good." How can Heiye be so small-bellied, because he has a bad relationship with Dr. An because of a letter of music, and destroys the friendship between you and my colleagues. ”

"Look, Dr. Li can speak, it seems that An will have to learn more from you in the future."

The two let out a few laughs against their will at the same time, and Li Siye held the wine cup in both hands towards Li Longji, and said: "The so-called indemnity wine is not established, and it also provokes the saint to work hard and worry about the affairs of his subordinates, so these two glasses of wine might as well let us make amends to the saint." ”

Li Longji narrowed his eyes, picked up the wine cup on the desk with one hand and said, "If you two can think like this, then I can relax and sit down." ”

Li Siye poured the wine in the wine cup into his throat, and lit up the bottom of the glass towards An Lushan opposite, indicating that he was bored, and you can do it yourself.

An Lushan pursed the corners of his lips, and raised his head to pour the wine cup in both hands into his mouth.

It is said that in history, An Lushan was covered with poisonous sores, blind, sick and irritable and difficult to get along with, and was killed by the eldest son An Qingxu and the eunuch Li Zhu'er. This is a symptom after a severe attack of diabetes, and this person has been overnourished for a long time and is obese, which does meet the conditions for the formation of diabetes, and now I am afraid that he has already had the initial symptoms.

After having diabetes, avoid drinking alcohol, especially high-fat drinks such as sweet wine, it is better to take more care of it today, let him drink a few more drinks and get drunk, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

The maid holding the wine bottle next to him poured him full of wine, and Li Siye picked it up again and headed towards An Lushan: "Doctor An, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and because our respective towns and guards are thousands of miles away, we can't meet each other when we are idle." Today, I have the opportunity to drink with you, this is a good opportunity given by the saints, and you and I will make a toast to the saints together to show our gratitude. ”

Li Siye had already taken the lead in standing up, holding his hands and turning to the emperor, Li Longji smiled and nodded: "That's okay, I'll drink one with you." ”

The emperor drank it all with the wine cup, and Li Siye and An Lushan also poured it down.

Li Longji then asked the two about the troop allocation and deployment in Liaodong and Hexi, and the two of them each answered each other fluently.

After three rounds of drinking, the emperor held his forehead and said: "I am not strong enough to drink, go back to the palace to rest first, you two don't have to go, take advantage of the banquet to get in touch with each other, and I will come over later after I wake up." ”

The two hurriedly stood up and crossed their hands and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor was helped down the steps by Gao Lishi, who was standing beside him, turned and walked behind the screen, and disappeared through the curtain of the palace corridor.

There are only a few palace maids who serve in the hall and the little eunuchs who stand on both sides, and the two of them are not as restrained as before, each pinching chopsticks and eating a few bites of the dishes in front of them, Li Siye raised his glass to An Lushan several times, and the other party did not refuse, and it seemed that he had not realized his health problems.

"Doctor Li, do you remember the first time we met in the past, back then you were just a small bad person in Wannian County, Chang'an City, and I was just a general under the command of Zhang Shougui, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, but I didn't expect to be able to work together with the court today. The fate between us is much deeper than that of Yang Xiang. ”

"That's right," Li Siye held the case with a smile and said: "At that time, Dr. An, you were convicted of defeat, but you were able to gain the weight of a saint because of the blessing of misfortune, and since then, you have been on the rise, and finally got the honor you have today." ”

"You're not bad, after a year in Chang'an City, you were able to get an official position and move to the west of the city, and you have made great contributions several times, and you can already be compared with me. Oh, by the way, have you ever played the streets of Suzaku? ”

Li Siye said with a smile: "The saint chooses talents without sticking to one pattern, regardless of his background, thanks to the emperor's favor, he has today's achievements." I heard that before Dr. An made his career, didn't he also sell sheep with his hands empty?"

An Lushan's small eyes narrowed, and he pressed the wine cup in his hand on the desk, and the words between the two of you and me suddenly stopped, Li Siye played with the wine cup in his hand, and looked at An Lushan opposite with a slightly cold expression. This suddenly frozen atmosphere made the eunuchs and palace maids standing on both sides bow their heads and breathe.

The palace eunuch standing next to the palace pillar behind the screen looked left and right, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he opened the corner of the curtain and slipped out.

At this time, the emperor sat cross-legged in the Dan Hall of the Jiaotai Palace, playing with a jade carved lotus flower in his hand. Gao Lishi led a little eunuch into the Dan Hall, and the little eunuch knelt on the ground and crossed his hands: "The slave and maid knock to see the saint." ”

Li Longji didn't open his eyes, and simply spit out a word: "Say." ”

"Soon after the saint left, the two of them came and went in the palace to ridicule each other, if it weren't for the fact that they were in the palace, I am afraid that a fight would have started."

"Let's go down."

"Whoa."

The Emperor opened his eyes with a lilting smile on his face. Colliers bent down and said, "It seems that there is indeed a feud between these two, and it has become a trend of fire and water. However, Longyou and Liaodong are both strong soldiers and strong forces, so it is not a long-term solution to make the two jealous. If something happens and they are out of balance, they can ......"

Li Longji looked up at Gao Lishi: "Lux, do you have a better strategy." ”

Gao Lishi hurriedly bowed down and bowed: "The slave is dull, how can there be any satisfactory strategy." ”

Li Longji glanced at him: "Let you talk about it, why bother with these useless humble words." ”

"Well, in the humble opinion of slaves and maids, it is the practice of our dynasty to enter the phase of the border general, and the saint can summon the two of them into the capital to enter the phase, and grant the six knots to different people, so that they are under the nose of the saint, isn't it easier to control?"

"No," the emperor shook his head, "both of them have the ability to lead troops, and a sudden change will loosen the border defense." Besides, Yang Guozhong did not agree with the two of them in Chang'an, and transferred the two of them to Beijing, and I don't know how many things will happen under my nose. ”

"But ......"

The Emperor raised his palm and said confidently: "I am still strong in the prime of life now, and the two of them are quite loyal to me, and when I grow old in the future, I will make other plans." You send someone and tell them that they should not wait for me, but go back to their mansions. ”

In the calyx building, An Lushan and Li Siye did not say a word again, Li Siye took care of himself and poured wine and drank slowly, while An Lushan leaned on the back of the bed and squinted his eyes and was drowsy.

The eunuch Yuan Siyi waved the dust into the hall, bowed down and said, "Two county kings, the sage has an edict. ”

The two hurriedly walked out of their seats and knelt on one knee with their hands crossed.

"I'm a little sleepy, you all retreat, and tomorrow we will leave for each of you to return to the military town."

After the two looked at each other, they said in unison: "The ministers obey the order." ”
