Chapter 238: Twists and Turns
Taking advantage of the time when Young Eunuch Liu rushed to pass on his life, he noticed the melancholy in Li Jing's heart, and as the master of the harem, the queen Zhong, who has always been good at observing words and feelings, immediately returned to the role of her own woman, and began to greet the people of the palace and present all kinds of exquisite pastries, so as to relieve the slightly anxious atmosphere on the pavilion.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, don't get angry. Since Young Eunuch Liu has gone to pass on his orders, presumably the officials of the Ministry will soon enter the palace, and no matter what the truth is, it will definitely come out. Let's use some pastries first, this is the topaz cake that the concubine specially ordered someone to buy in Qingxifang......"
Saying that, Zhong lightly touched his jade hand and carefully twisted a piece of yellow-orange-orange pastry from the white plate, even though Li Jing was upset, he didn't want to refuse the queen's kindness at this time, so he had to take it and take a symbolic bite, then nodded and smiled: "Well, for more than ten years, the taste of this topaz cake has not changed, and it is still extremely delicious." ”
Speaking of this topaz cake, it has to be traced back to the time when Li Jing and the Zhong family got married.
At that time, Zhong was still a slim girl, and this sweet and greasy topaz cake was the girl's favorite, but Li Jing's identity was precious, and what he ate and drank was naturally made by the deep palace, and he rarely had access to folk food.
His own preference can also become her husband's preference, Zhong is very happy, and after Li Jing ascended the throne, he often ordered people to go out of the palace to buy, one so that Li Jing can taste delicious food at any time, and the other is also secretly hoping that his husband can take advantage of this not to forget the feelings of reason.
This topaz cake seemed to really attract Li Jing's attention, only to see that the emperor swallowed a piece with satisfaction, and then looked at the pastry plate with unfinished eyes, Zhong immediately handed it over, but saw that Li Jing reached out to take the pastry, and did not put it in his mouth, but shook his head and sighed: "Alas! This topaz cake hasn't changed, and I haven't changed, so why have they changed...... It's really a lake, and the lake is very good! ”
These inexplicable words made Zhong Shi frown suddenly, but he probably understood who His Majesty meant by "they". Who else can be remembered by Li Jing in his heart, naturally it is the group of close ministers next to him when he was in the East Palace, Feng Yanji, Feng Yanlu, Han Xizai, etc......
Seeing that Li Jing suddenly became sentimental, Zhong didn't dare to speak, but just approached and whispered: "Your Majesty, although the facts are unclear at the moment, the concubine has the audacity to speculate, and the so-called Li Yuan's rebellion must be nothing." ”
Li Jing frowned and said, "Why did the queen say this? This matter is extremely complicated, and if there is no evidence, how can it be judged lightly? Military affairs, the queen should not get involved......"
The Zhong family seemed to be a little distracted, and turned his head and muttered: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't understand military affairs, but the concubine is a mother in the end." Congjia is our flesh and blood, this child has been filial since he was a child, how can he have suffered a trace of grievances, and now he is trapped in Langzhou and has not returned for a long time, isn't Your Majesty worried? really responded to that sentence, the most ruthless emperor's family!
Your Majesty, have you ever thought that if Li Yuan was really framed, how chilling it would be for such a loyal courtier who has made great contributions to the country to see the imperial army pressing the border? If Li Yuan really intended to rebel, why did he send his sworn brother to Beijing to meet him, and took the initiative to mention escorting him back to the dynasty from Jia? ”
Seeing that Zhong's eyes were slightly red, Li Jing seemed to be touched, and with a complicated expression, she put her hands lightly on her palms, stroked them slowly, and sighed: "The queen misunderstood!" The safety of the sixth child is always in my heart, so why not hope that he will return safely as soon as possible? It's just, it's just, sometimes, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, I have to think carefully......
What's more, I have already issued an order to send troops to Langzhou to make a promise for the monarch, if there is no evidence in hand, how can I withdraw my will at will? Of course, if Li Yuanru was really framed, I would definitely give him justice! After that, Li Jing also deliberately glanced at Liu Jiangsheng, who was lower, and the tall man seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating, looking very calm.
Zhong nodded, then gritted his teeth and said, "What Your Majesty said is that it will be clear in a while anyway, and loyalty and treachery will naturally be clear." For those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, Your Majesty will never be spared! ”
"I know it." Li Jingsheng responded.
"Your Majesty." I saw Liu Jiangsheng suddenly get up and bow his head, breathe a sigh of relief, and took out Li Yuan's recital again: "Dadu Governor's recital, do you want to take a look?" ”
Li Jing narrowed his eyes, waved his hand casually, and said, "Let's put it first, I'll see later." ”
Liu Jiangsheng had no choice but to withdraw his hands stupidly, and just wanted to sit down again, but he heard Li Jing seem to have suddenly changed his mind, and said with a "hmm": "Forget it, you give me a thought, I will listen first." ”
Liu Jiangsheng hurriedly agreed, unfolded the recital and read: "The governor of Chenlang Prefecture, Wuping Junjie, made Li Yuan play, and bowed to His Majesty the Emperor. A few days ago, the imperial court ordered His Royal Highness King Zheng to come to Wuping to work in the army, and surrendered the generals to Zhou Xingfeng, who rebelled against the holy grace, and actually acted against the throne, holding the flag and ribbon to gather the crowd, and coercing the angels to misbehave......
Fortunately, His Majesty was blessed by heaven, although he was rebellious in time, but he injured the army and the people, endangered His Royal Highness, and finally was the fault of the ministers. Please Your Majesty do not hesitate to give sin, and the minister will never say anything.
Because the minister was injured, the special Wuping soldiers and horses made Liu Jiangsheng bring this music to play it to our emperor, and the minister Li Yuan was ashamed of himself, and he was sincerely afraid ......"
Li Jing closed his eyes and smiled: "This Li Yuan, I thought he was here to ask for credit, but he took the initiative to ask for guilt, and even attributed all the responsibility to himself, which is commendable." ”
Liu Jiangsheng continued: "...... The minister's sin is the minister's personal sin, but the minister was ordered to pacify Chudi, the recent wars have been frequent, it is related to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, the minister does not dare to neglect the country's major affairs because of his personal sin, so he will report two urgent matters to His Majesty, and hope that His Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible.
First, regarding the pacification of Dongxi, the barbarians of Xizhou have been pacified, and the ministers asked the three states of Dongxi to be under the rule of Wuping, and then promoted Peng's Shiyu as the assassin of Xizhou, but the imperial court has not had a will to return. Now the land of the three states has changed its course and changed its flag, and the name is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but if the name is not correct, the words are not good, and the barbarians of Dongxi are afraid of it, causing thousands of soldiers to conquer the land with their lives to revert to the outside. If the Dongxi is uneven, then the Chu land is restless, and if our Wuping soldiers and horses are tired of running for their lives, they will waste troops, money and food in vain, and it will also violate the overall situation. ”
Li Jing frowned and said suspiciously: "I have clearly approved Li Yuan's invitation, why, haven't you received the will of the imperial court?" ”
Liu Jiangsheng paused, arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I will not be able to answer. The last general has been leading troops to fight outside, and the decrees of the imperial court are not the authority of the last general, and the content of the grand governor's performance is not known to the last general in advance. ”
