Chapter 516: Soaking in Hot Springs
Could it be that the emperor thought that the defenders of Liaodong could withstand the attack of the Goguryeo army? However, the imperial court did not have many troops in Liaodong, because the center of gravity of the imperial court has always been in the Western Regions, although Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty were wary of each other, but there has never been a major conflict, so Cheng Yanjin They felt that since Goguryeo suddenly invaded the border, it must be fully prepared, and the defenders of Liaodong were difficult to resist. Even if the defenders of Liaodong resisted the attack of Goguryeo, then they should send troops! Someone punched him, even if he blocked it, he should return it! Double it back, you can't be called, just block it, right? So Cheng Biting Jin and they were very puzzled, why did they have to wait? But since the sage said so, they can only wait, fortunately, the urgent report from Liaodong will definitely come soon, the government and the opposition, and even the people of the entire Chang'an are waiting for the urgent report from Liaodong, wait, wait, wait, wait...... One day, two days, three days, four days...... Why hasn't the emergency come yet? Even the guards at the city gate had a feeling of longing, could it be that the defenders of Liaodong really resisted the attack of the Goguryeo army? But that's not right! Even if the defenders of Liaodong really resisted the attack of the Goguryeo army, it would definitely have to be reported to the imperial court! There is a war with a neighboring country, this is a top priority, and there is no reason why there has been no movement until now! Could it be that Goguryeo's movements were too slow? Then wait a little longer! But another day, two days, three days...... That's not right! Why is it almost the New Year? Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong went straight to Lijiazhuang.
"Li Yong, why hasn't there been an urgent report from Liaodong?"
Cheng Yanjin asked straight to the point, these days he and Wei Chigong have been fighting a lot, not for anything else, just to compete for the position of the general manager, although they know that this matter does not depend on them, but the two always fight inexplicably, and they can't help it at all, Li Yong spread his hands.
"There is no urgent report from Liaodong, how do I know this!"
"What do you mean you don't know? Didn't you say that Goguryeo was mobilizing troops? ”
Wei Chigong asked urgently, and Li Yong nodded shamelessly.
"I said it! Goguryeo is indeed mobilizing troops! ”
Cheng Yanjin asked.
"Then why isn't there an urgent report?"
Li Yong spread his hands and said.
"I'm not a Liaodong defender, how do I know this?"
This is also true, Cheng Yanjin wondered.
"Shouldn't you have even sent out an urgent report?"
Wei Chi Gong said disdainfully.
"How is that possible? Do you think Goguryeo has such a great ability? And even if the defenders of Liaodong fail to send an urgent report, even the news from the people can reach Chang'an! ”
"What's going on here?" Cheng Yanjin wondered.
Everyone has been waiting for so long, and no one has ever doubted Li Yong, which shows Li Yong's impression in the hearts of the courtiers, but after waiting for so long and there has been no news, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but doubt,
"Li Yong, is your news true or false?"
Li Yong nodded as a matter of course.
"Of course it's true!"
Wei Chigong asked.
"But why is there no urgent report from Liaodong?"
Li Yong shook his head slightly.
"I don't know!"
Cheng Yanjin and Yu Chigong were both stunned, what is the situation? Seeing that Li Yong's appearance really doesn't look fake, and Li Yong has gone to the palace to report to the emperor, he must be very convinced, but there is no urgent report from Liaodong, which makes people wonder, Cheng Yanjin suddenly asked whimically.
"Li Yong, Goguryeo shouldn't have moved troops against us, but against Silla or Baekje, right?"
Wei Chigong didn't have a good airway.
"If Goguryeo is to raise troops against Silla or Baekje, then what will Li Yong's people come back after all the hardships to report? Li Yong went to the palace to report to the saint again, amused? ”
Almost all officials think so, since Li Yong's people are not afraid of the cold to run back to report the news, and Li Yong is running to the palace to report to the emperor, of course, it is certain that Goguryeo is going to use troops against the Tang Dynasty! If Goguryeo moves troops against Silla or Baekje, then what is there to be nervous about? What is there to repay? Cheng Biting Jin patted his forehead and said.
"That's true, but something must be wrong with this!"
Wei Chigong asked.
"Li Yong, could it be that your people made a mistake, right? Is there any news from Goguryeo during this time? ”
Two days ago, there was really news from Goguryeo, Yuangai Suwen even went down several cities, like a bamboo, Li Yong couldn't help but sigh, Yuangai Suwen really deserves to be a generation of famous generals in Goguryeo, there are indeed two brushes, when Chang'an was in the dark, Li Yong went to the palace to tell Li Er the news, Li Er knew that it was Longyan Dayue, but he was most concerned about whether Silla sent an envoy for help, this Li Yong didn't know, after all, his caravan did not arrive at Silla, but according to speculation, Silla will definitely try to save himself, I just don't know what choice Baekje will make at this time, which is very difficult to say, because the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje have deep grievances against each other, and they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? Join forces with Silla to deal with Goguryeo? Or take advantage of the fire? There is no doubt that Li Er certainly does not want Silla and Baekje to join forces to deal with Goguryeo, in that case, Silla will not come to Datang for help, and he will have no reason to send troops, but of course, it is impossible to tell Cheng Yanjin about this, Li Yong shook his head with a smile.
"There's no news coming!"
Cheng Yanjin wondered.
"I've heard that a few days ago, there seems to be a subordinate from your house who came from afar, isn't it from Liaodong?"
Li Yong shook his head decisively.
"It's not from Liaodong! I really haven't heard from Liaodong again! ”
Wei Chigong put his hands behind his back and paced.
"There's a problem! There's definitely something wrong with that! Big problem! ”
Cheng Yanjin wondered.
"It's strange, didn't the people sent by the sage to Liaodong come back either?"
Li Yong slandered, of course I'm back, but you don't know, Wei Chigong patted his thigh and said.
"Why don't we send a general to Liaodong to investigate?"
Cheng Yanjin shouted.
"That's right, let's send a general to Liaodong to take a look! It's not a problem to keep waiting! ”
At the beginning, Cheng Yanjin and they really didn't expect to send someone to Liaodong to check, after all, they always felt that Liaodong's urgent report would arrive soon, maybe tomorrow, besides, the emperor should have sent someone to Liaodong to investigate the situation, but now they really can't wait, and they are now a little suspicious, is there a war in Liaodong? If there is really something wrong with this, then this matter will be troublesome, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong looked at Li Yong with worries in their eyes, and they wanted to speak and stopped.
"Li Yong, if Goguryeo really invaded the border, then it's okay to say, if Goguryeo didn't invade the border, then you will be in trouble!"
Li Yong's face was very calm, and his tone was even calmer.
"Goguryeo didn't come to invade the border, so it didn't come to invade the border, what trouble can there be?"
Wei Chigong didn't have a good airway.
"What else can be done? It's all our own people, of course we generals won't say anything, but those civil officials, hey, the spitting stars can spray you to death! ”
Thinking of that scene, even Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong, who had always been unstiny, couldn't help but shudder, and the white-bearded old men opened their bloody mouths, revealing a mouthful of rotten teeth, and spitting stars flew sideways...... However, Li Yong's face was still very calm, and Cheng Biting Jin shook his head and said.
"You're still too young, and you haven't been impeached by civilian officials much, so you don't know what's so powerful!"
"I'll tell you, even if the saint is caught or something, those civil officials spray up, and even the saint has to retreat! Not to mention you! ”
Wei Chigong shook his head and said.
"You're a newborn calf, not afraid of tigers! Wait until you know it's awesome, get it! ”
Cheng bites the golden road.
"You kid, don't think that there is a saint to protect you, you won't be afraid, let me tell you, this is your own mistake, in the face of the spitting stars of the Manchu Dynasty, even the saint is not good to favor you!"
Wei Chi sighed.
"This is a hairless mouth! You kid shouldn't be shouting that everyone knows that if Goguryeo doesn't commit a crime, how can it end? ”
Li Yong shrugged slightly.
"I didn't shout everywhere, I only told Uncle Cheng!"
So how can it be known to the government and the opposition? Wei Chigong turned his head and shouted.
"Wow, Cheng Biting Jin turned out to be caused by you!"
Cheng Biting Jin looked left and right with his hands behind his back, looking like what you are talking about, I can't hear anything, seeing Cheng Biting Jin's weak heart, Li Yong couldn't help laughing on the side, and Wei Chigong said speechlessly.
"Li Yong, you can still laugh, huh? This matter can be blamed on Lao Cheng, let's just say that Lao Cheng heard it wrong! ”
Cheng Yanjin laughed and jumped up directly.
"I heard it right, that's what Li Yong said! But it's not on me. ”
Wei Chigong didn't have a good airway.
"As an elder, can't you take care of it?"
As soon as he thought of the scene where the civil officials were spitting together, Cheng Yanjin felt a headache and hurriedly waved his hand.
"When you are young, you should learn more lessons and suffer more losses, otherwise how can you grow?"
Yu Chigong touched the beard on his chin and groaned.
"It seems to be the same reason!"
Li Yong was speechless, expecting the two of you to be foolish, of course it is unreliable, Li Yong smiled faintly.
"It's just a little thing, not enough to worry about!"
Is this still a trifle? It has caused an uproar in both the government and the opposition, if it is fake, can it still be a trivial matter? But Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong both found that Li Yong's face was indeed very calm, and they didn't know if he was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers or was confident in the news? Wei Chigong and Cheng Biting Jin left, in fact, they didn't worry much, just let Li Yong have a psychological preparation, after returning to the Xishan Courtyard, Li Yong leaned on the soft collapse and quietly distracted, the inside story of this The emperor already knew, of course, it was impossible to do anything to him, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were kept in the dark, so as Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin said, the government and the opposition would definitely spray him. Although he is thick-skinned and not afraid of spraying, he must also feel noisy, do you have to pretend to be sick at home all the time? Even if you are afraid that you will not be able to live in peace if you pretend to be sick at home, the ministers of the court and the central government will definitely come to visit you and then question them by the way.
"Lang Jun, what do you want?"
Li Lizhi sat down beside Li Yong and asked softly, Li Yong said helplessly.
"There has been no urgent news from Liaodong for a long time, and the courtiers are beginning to be suspicious, and it is estimated that those imperial historians are going to start writing impeachment!"
There is no war in Liaodong at all, so how can there be an urgent report? Li Lizhen said with a smile.
"If they impeach, they will be impeached, and the father and emperor will not be guilty if they don't know the truth!"
"Am I afraid that the saints will condemn me? I'm afraid of the mouths of the imperial historians! It's not that I'm afraid or I feel noisy! ”
Li Yong said, Li Li said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Lang Jun, my father will definitely suppress it!"
Suppress a fart, it is better to count on Li Er than to count on the sow to go up the tree, Li Er is estimated to be about to be sprayed by Wei Zheng and them to spew out a psychological shadow, I wish he was in front! Of course, you can't say this to Li Liqing, Li Yong said with a smile.
"Changle, why don't we go out and have a good time?"
Li Lizhi was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said in confusion.
"Where are you going to play in the cold? Lang Jun, why don't you accompany me to Shangxiang? ”
What does incense mean? Li Yong's heart moved and said with a smile.
"Why don't we go to Lishan Hot Spring? Anyway, it's not far from Chang'an, and I've heard that soaking in hot springs can warm up your body, and it's also good for you. ”
Li Li asked suspiciously.
"Good for me too? Says who? ”
Li Yong smiled slightly.
"Of course the doctor from the medical school said it!"
Li Lizhen's eyes lit up when she heard it.
"Really? Okay, then let's go to Lishan for a while! ”
Now Li Li's life is happy to say that the only unsatisfactory place is that her stomach has not been angry, which is also the most anxious place for her in the past six months, and now she hears that soaking in hot springs can warm up her body, she is naturally very excited, and it is really easy to move the medicine of the medical school, however, what Li Yong said is right, soaking in hot springs can indeed warm up the body, and it is not wrong to be good for the body after all, Li Yong nodded with a smile.
"I think so too, just go out for a walk, hide and be clean!"
Li Li said happily.
"Well, well, let Cao'er and Ruoxi go to the hot springs together, Lang Jun, I'll go to the palace to find the queen mother, do you want to go to the palace together?"
When they enter the palace, they will definitely meet courtiers, and when they meet Li Yong, they will definitely ask about Liaodong, how can Li Yong answer? Isn't this asking for trouble? Li Yong shook his head and said.
"Forget it, I'm not going!"
Yingluo and other maids next to her have big eyes that are very bright, go to Lishan to play? Sounds great! After all, they are all young girls, and they have been bored in the Xishan Courtyard, so they can have the opportunity to go out to play, of course they are looking forward to it, Yingluo asked curiously.
"Grandpa, is Lishan fun?"
Although there is another palace in Lishan, it is not taken seriously, and the famous Huaqing Palace has not been built yet! So what is the palace in Lishan, Li Yong doesn't know, but the hot springs in Lishan must be good, otherwise Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei would not like to go to Huaqing Palace so much.
