On the platform near the water in the pear orchard, the emperor wore a high nose cover made of porcelain jade on his nose, and danced in a women's shirt with long sleeves, which made Yang Yuhuan, who was sitting in front of the desk drinking and admiring, laugh at the desk, and Li Guinian, who was sitting nearby, and Lei Haiqing, who played the pipa, also let out cheerful laughter, and did not shy away from being punished for hurting the face of the Son of Heaven.

Li Longji has two identities inside and outside the pear orchard, in which he is a music artist, an ordinary artist. However, he does not need to make a living from entertainment, he only needs to please himself, so he specializes in metaphysical pure and elegant art. When he walked out of the pear orchard, he was the Ninety-Five, and everyone bowed to him, and even raising his eyes to look directly was offensive to Tianyan.

His son Sheng Wang Li Qi stood far away from the water pavilion, and did not dare to enjoy his father's performance up close, because in the eyes of his son, he always represented feudal monarchy and patriarchy. If you walk in and see this performance, you can't help but laugh out loud, what awaits him is a more terrible social death.

As long as the emperor is not embarrassed, it is himself who is embarrassed.

This performance was finally over, and Gao Lishi, who was standing aside with a whisk in his hand, saw King Sheng, came to the emperor's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Sheng has come down." ”

The emperor saw his son in the distance with cold eyes, quickly took off his nose cover, took off his undergarment, and said, "Let him come over." ”

Gao Lishi just waved the dust, and King Sheng quickly approached with small steps. The artists in the water pavilion bowed down to His Royal Highness, and King Sheng nodded awkwardly, bowing to his father and saluting with his hands crossed: "The son of the emperor greets his father." ”

Li Longji sat on the beauty leaning next to the water pavilion and asked indifferently: "I heard Gao Lishi say that you are not satisfied with the marriage I gave you, are you unwilling to be in-laws with Li Siye, or are you dissatisfied with your future son-in-law. ”

"Father Emperor Mingjian, Erchen has always liked to be quiet and monastic, and he doesn't want to get involved in the world, besides, Heyi is still young, and he is spoiled by Erchen, and he doesn't want her to attract too much attention."

The emperor asked sharply: "Are you afraid that marrying such a powerful minister will cause you trouble in the future?" Among these princes, I have always liked your indisputability and tranquility the most, right? Heyi's marriage will be put in the back. ”

Li Qi happily crossed his hands and thanked him: "The son has thanked his father." ”

"Look at what makes you happy? Don't you know that these brothers of yours are eager to marry the generals and prime ministers of the DPRK and China to strengthen their own prestige? But you avoid it. Let's go down. ”

Li Qi knew who the brother the emperor was talking about? Hurriedly lowered his eyelids, afraid that his father would see through his thoughts. "The retainers retired."

Wait for King Sheng to be gone? Li Longji sat on the beauty leaning and fell into deep thought, raised his head and asked Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side: "King Sheng is unwilling to marry Li Siye?" Do you see that among the kings, whose daughter is the same age as Li Siye's son? You can give marriage and marriage. ”

Gao Lishi replied to the question: "In the foolish opinion of slaves and maids, it is better to put this matter aside, and there is no need to give marriage for the time being, and wait for Li Chongyun to be a few years older before thinking about it?" Perhaps the situation will be very different in the future. ”

Gao Lishi's sentence delays the emperor's heart? He just nodded approvingly, then raised his head and said suspiciously: "If this is the case, my will has been issued, how can I talk to that Li Siye." ”

"Your Majesty can issue an order with Li Siye, and make it clear that the county lord of Heyi is delicate and underelic? And your eldest son is young, when he comes to spring buds? Then choose a county lord with a blue heart from among the daughters of the kings, and marry him. ”

"Okay? Let's do it. ”

At this time, Yuan Siyi walked over from a distance, leaned over in front of the emperor with a whisk in his hand and said, "Your Majesty? The envoy Fu Xuanlin and the inner servant Yu Chaoen returned to their lives? Wait outside Xingqing Palace to face the saint. ”

Li Longji was refreshed when he heard it? Immediately ordered: "Prepare to step and go to Nannei." ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Siyi directly knelt on the ground with a thud, and bowed to the ground with both hands.

The emperor glared and asked, "What else is going on?" ”

"Your Majesty, there have been rumors in Chang'an City recently, saying that it is ...... Say yes ......"

"What? Say! ”

"It is said that An Lushan, the king of Dongping County, and Li Siye, the king of Xiliang County, conspired to start an incident and agreed to divide the territory of the Tang Dynasty equally!"

Li Longji's face turned black for a moment, and Gao Lishi hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty doesn't have to listen to rumors, this must be done by people with ulterior motives." ”

The emperor's expression softened: "How can I not know that this is a rumor, if the two of them are really conspiring, how can it spread in Chang'an City." Go and call Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu over, and let them hear what is going on, so as to appease the hearts of the two prime ministers. ”

"Whoa!"

……

In the main hall on the second floor of the diligent government affairs building, the emperor sat cross-legged on the Hu bed in front of the sandalwood screen, and the two palace maids behind him stood with pheasant tail barrier fans.

The two eunuchs, Xuan Lin and Yu Chaoen, knelt below, and Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu stood on either side, their eyes faintly expectant and worried.

"Tell me, what do you see? What do you hear? Xuanlin, you speak first. ”

The envoy blinked his eyes and crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the king of Dongping County governs the state and county every day and rectifies the border defense. ”

Yang Guozhong was quite anxious, lowered his head and said angrily: "Your Majesty didn't want to ask you this!" According to what you have seen and heard, does An Lushan have any objections, is he recruiting troops, is he pretending to be sick? ”

"Nope." Xuan Lin opened her eyes wide and concluded: "Dr. An is loyal, although he is seriously ill, he still misses His Majesty, Hebei soldiers are all dedicated to the court, and Dr. An also said that the An family is willing to protect thousands of miles of territory for Your Majesty for generations." ”

Yang Guozhong subconsciously wanted to kick to death this shameless eunuch with his mouth open, but this person raised his head and calmly faced the emperor, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

Li Longji was very happy, raised his eyebrows and looked at the two ministers, meaning that you are not too worried?

The emperor asked Yu Chaoen again: "How is Li Siye?" ”

"Your Majesty, Dr. Li inspects the military camp every day and participates in Tuntian, and the military security in Hexi is divided into several and performs its own duties, and the slaves and maids have not heard other rumors."

The emperor nodded and said: "An Lushan is impossible, Li Siye is even more impossible, the two of them are loyal to me, and they each guard the northeast and northwest borders for me. And ......" He raised his arm and pointed at the two of them and said: "Immediately order the Jingzhao Mansion and Chang'an Wannian County to arrest the rumor-mongers, and once the culprit is discovered, he will be executed immediately, and there is no need to ask me again." Stand down! ”

Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu walked out of the staircase of the Qinzheng Building worriedly, and Wei Xiang turned his head and asked him, "Do you believe what the eunuch said?" ”

"This eunuch must have been bribed by An Lushan to dare to cover up the counterplot for him so openly."

"How do you think the right minister should break it?" Wei Jiansu gave a look as he spoke.

Yang Guozhong suddenly came to his senses: "Then the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will secretly investigate strictly, and at the same time inform Gao Lishi, after all, these eunuchs are his people, I hope he can understand and support." Since An Lushan is covering up Xuanlin, Li Siye's Yu Chaoen must not be telling the truth, and he should also be secretly investigated, if Gao Gong allows, he can be tortured in Dali Temple Prison. “

Wei Jiansu turned his head and looked at Yang Guozhong in surprise, unable to express his inner feelings. This is too rigid, he alone wants to deal with An Lushan and Li Siye, the two major feudal towns, don't he know how to judge the situation at all?
