Chapter 788: So Pilgrimage

Li Yu entered Chang'an after changing the title to the acting king, and now he was set up as the prince, he just entered the palace today to hear Li Heng and Li Fuguo's laughter, went to meet his father, and called Li Fuguo Wulang.

"What did Father and Gorou laugh at just now?"

Li Heng sat back on the couch, held his belly and said with a smile: "Li Siye coveted the beauty of Du Qianyun's daughter, and even ignored Du Jiuniang's marriage contract with Liu Changqing first, and forcibly snatched the dowry, which caused a lot of discussion among the people of Chang'an, so he laughed."

Li Yu nodded and thought for a while, and said: "In the past, Wang Qian, the general of the Qin State, led an army of 300,000 to attack Chu, and the border of the garrison was delayed, so he begged for money from the beautiful woman in order to solve the first emperor's suspicions. Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, deliberately embezzled the treasury in order to solve Liu Bang's suspicions. Erchen guessed that Li Siye's move had the same effect. ”

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he held his sour thighs and said: "What my son said is right, Wang Jian defiled himself for the great cause of Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms, Xiao He defiled himself for the sake of fulfilling the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and he Li Siye defiled himself just to save his life, and it is really difficult for him to damage his reputation, I may be able to let him die." ”

Li Yu crossed his hands again and said: "Erchen still thinks that people who can damage their reputation are not hateful, and the real hateful are those who sell their fame and prestige. Just like the traitor An Lushan used to claim great kindness, opened a porridge factory, relieved the poor, and adopted thousands of orphans, so that Youyan thought he was a saint for thousands of miles. After the original form was revealed, he led the rioters to the south, attacked the city and plundered the land, and slaughtered the people. is also like the king of the Han Dynasty, who raised hope and killed his son, and tried his best to be hypocritical, but in the end he rebelled and sought a position and was accused of a thousand years. ”

Li Heng smiled again: "Good, my son is familiar with the history books of the general classics, and his intelligence is extraordinary. In the past, you and Li Siye also fought against the rebels together, and they advanced and retreated together, so you should go to the mansion to congratulate. On the day of his wedding, he brought gifts to express his affection for me. ”

"The retainers obey."

……

No matter how the officials were impeached, how the students of Chang'an ran to tell each other, and how the literati scolded, the emperor ignored them all, and issued an order to approve that this was a private and family matter of the minister, and I was unwilling to be held accountable.

At the beginning of May in the second year of Zhide, after a series of acceptance, questioning, Naji, recruitment, and invitation, Li Siye, who was already over the age of confusion, finally wanted to include Du Jiuniang, the first beauty in Chang'an.

Du Jiuniang's real name is Du Ruo, but most of the women who have names are from famous families, and Wei and Du Nai are the surnames of Guanzhong. If it weren't for Du Qianyun's attachment to Yang Guozhong, their family would definitely not have fallen here. Except for a few Du family members who thought that they could gain glory and wealth by relying on Li Siye, many people expressed their scolding on this matter. There are more people who are accustomed to this kind of thing, and there are too many facts in the world that oppress people. If it weren't for Du Jiuniang, who is known as the first beauty in the capital, and Liu Changqing, the bitter master, is a rookie in the Chang'an poetry circle, he would not have caused so many turmoil at all.

On this day, Li Siye wore auspicious clothes and walked around the crowd with a wine cup, contributing the stiffest smile in his life. These guests in front of them were saying words of congratulations and congratulations, and their faces were full of envy and contempt for perverts. Each guest wore a mask and smiled to compliment the host, but it did not affect their disdain for the host's character.

There were also a few people with complicated expressions of sympathy or admiration on their faces, who stood up from the desk and toasted him, and he did not refuse to drink them one by one.

The steward outside the door shouted that the counselor Chujun arrived, Li Siye and a group of guests went to greet the prince, Li Yu congratulated him gently, comforted him a few words, and hurriedly came and left.

After nightfall, the banquet hall was in a mess of cups and plates, most of the guests said goodbye and left, and Li Siye drunkenly pushed open the door of the cave room.

Du Jiuniang, who was dressed in green, covered her head with a hijab on her head, and held a fan in her hand, when she heard the footsteps, she lifted off her hijab, suddenly pulled a hairpin from the top of her head against her neck, stared at her red eyes and said angrily: "Hugh has to come over, otherwise I will die here." ”

Li Siye dragged an embroidery pier and sat opposite her, staring at her for a long time, only to see Du Jiuniang's heart hairy.

He nodded and said, "It is indeed beautiful and delicious, fragrant and beautiful, and it is mouth-watering." But if you promise me one thing, I will keep you...... The body of the white wall, the elegant one should be called that. Maybe I'm not very good at talking, maybe in less than a year, I can still let you meet Liu Changqing and reunite the two of you......"

……

From the spring to the autumn of the second year of Zhide, the Tang court did not carry out any offensive action against the rebels, and all the focus of Li Heng's work was to strengthen the restriction and recovery of the power of the emperor.

Li Siye's daily activities are still drinking, cockfighting, and his body seems to be getting weaker and weaker.

Li Heng often called him to the palace to play the pair, or mentioned that he wanted him to return to serve as the envoy of the festival to show temptation, but Li Siye was terrified and said that he was overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility and repeatedly resigned.

The next day, in the daily pilgrimage in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Li Heng sat on the Hu bed, and Li Fuguo stood in front of him on the left side, holding the dust and his eyes slightly closed. Listen to Prime Minister Xiao Hua introduce the situation of the enemy and us below: "An Qingxu retreated to Yecheng, Xiangzhou, and there were generals Yin Ziqi, Cui Qianyou, Xiang Runke, An Shouzhong, Neng Yuanhao, and Tian Chenghe, because they had hoarded a lot of grain and grass in Yecheng in advance, their momentum recovered very quickly, and they gathered 100,000 troops in just six or seven months, and Yecheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it needs to be treated carefully. ”

The ministers below bowed their heads and sighed to express their regret, but this sigh made Li Heng very embarrassed, and this situation was caused by him.

Li Fuguo couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "An Qingxu has no virtue and no talent, his majesty is incompetent, and he only has 100,000 horses in his hands, so why should you be so afraid." Around Luoyang, we have Yu Chaoen's Hexi Army, Feng Changqing's Anxi Army, Duan Xiushi's Beiting Army, Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Army, Wang Sili's Longyou Guannei Army, and Li Guangbi's Hedong Army can also cross the Yellow River and exit the well, plus Lu Jiong and Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun of Nanyang can all go north, totaling more than 200,000 troops, how can we not clean up a small An Qingxu?"

The ministers below nodded one after another, and each said, "Gong Yu is right."

"Just Your Majesty." Prime Minister Xiao Hua stepped forward again and said: "The Eight Roads Jie Du envoy Qi went out to crusade against An Qingxu, and it is necessary to order one door and unify the command, so as not to let the armies fight separately and be broken by each other." The minister recommended Guo Ziyi as the head of the march, and issued a tiger charm to order the seven armies, with full authority, and they will be able to win a complete victory. ”

Li Heng half-squinted and hesitated, and Li Fuguo, who was standing in front of him, also changed his face, and looked back at the emperor but did not speak.

The emperor said slowly: "There is still no need for the head of the march, and there is no need for the Tiger Fu Festival, he has just been promoted to Sikong, and he has taken over the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, so he can coordinate the envoys of various sections with his prestige."

He used the word coordination, not command, so that the ministers looked at each other and did not dare to say much.

Li Fuguo crossed his hands sideways and said: "Yu Chaoen has just returned to the court to report on his work, since he is the supervising army, so the slave and maid dared to suggest that he should be ordered to declare the consolation of the envoy for the Guanjun Rong, hold the call of the Son of Heaven, and command the eight sections to stabilize the army's heart."

"Okay." The emperor nodded heavily, this Guan Junrong is his invention, but he said it through Li Fuguo's mouth. "What do you think?"

Except for a few of Li Fuguo's henchmen present, the rest of the people really didn't dare to agree, and Li Heng finally set his eyes on Li Siye, who was standing in a daze.

"What does the Lieutenant think?"

Li Siye's body shook and was still in a daze.

"Captain?"

Li Siye seemed to have just come back to his senses, stared at him in a daze, took half a step forward, bowed and replied, "Your ...... The minister seconded. ”

Li Heng grinned, looked down and saw that his eyes were swollen and his eye circles were black, and he didn't seem to have woken up at all, so he couldn't help but pretend to be concerned and asked teasingly: "It seems that the captain didn't rest last night."

The surrounding ministers all let out a knowing sarcastic laugh: "Heh."

Li Fuguo made up the knife meanly on the imperial steps: "Taiwei's wife and beautiful concubine, it must be that she exerts too much force in the cave room every night, and the beauty is like jade, but she can't be eaten as a meal."

This time, even Li Heng couldn't help laughing, sat on the Hu bed and waved his hand, "Retreat."

The court staff ended in a relaxed and lively atmosphere, but no one expressed any objections to the eunuch army, even Xiao Hua, who has always been upright and selfless, was silent, and his words were likely to be suspected by the emperor of having a personal relationship with Guo Ziyi, but it would harm Guo Ziyi.
