Chapter 1317: Huo Quai, or Huo Guang?
Singing and dancing lightly, swaying with thin limbs.
Fine tulle, shallow chanting and singing.
The sound of the drums gradually turned flat, and a somewhat cold hand came from the side and held it in Li Zhi's hand.
The emperor's drunken mind was much more sober in an instant.
Turning sideways and looking at the somewhat worried Empress Wu on the side, Li Zhi nodded lightly, indicating that he was still quite conscious.
Li Zhi looked down at Li Xuan on the right, Li Xuan had already clinked glasses with his generals and drank bitterly, with a bold expression.
But if you look closely, you can find that the wine in his expression is very amazing, although it seems to be lively, but the movements are dull.
Li Zhi looked up at the entire hall, and there was a staggered mixture, but fortunately, all the secretaries were still restrained.
Except for Li Xian and Li Dan, who were ordered to toast, the others did not move around, let alone drink out of shape.
On this occasion, everyone still retains the deepest awe in their hearts.
It looks a little drunk, but it retains the last trace of sobriety, and at this time, it is the easiest to tell the truth.
Li Zhi doesn't believe too much in getting drunk and telling the truth, he has seen too many people who are drunk and wanton over the years, but after he sobers up, he is scared of people who are in a cold sweat.
Drinking will make people let go of the constraints of the world, but the real world is restraint under the constraints after being sober.
Only the choice after restraint is the closest to the truth, and not with drunken nonsense.
Just like now, everyone seems to have drunk a lot, but under the awe, there is still a sense of sobriety.
This state is the easiest way to ask the truth.
……
After drinking a glass of wine, Li Xuan bowed his hand to Sun Renshi again, and then sat down.
The old general has been transferred back to Chang'an, and there may never be a chance to fight side by side in the future.
Li Xuan paid more respects to the old general and thanked him for his support over the years.
Although Sun Renshi's killing efforts were not significant, he never made a mistake in transporting grain and grass.
Especially in the last battle, he directly killed from Qamdo to Tubo, completely removing the threat of Li Xuan's left army, so that he could concentrate on Luo Zhi, which was a great achievement.
The emperor also saw everything in his eyes, and awarded him the Duke of Zhou Liujun, the general of the right Tunwei of the Jin Dynasty, the right scattered cavalry permanent attendant, transferred to Chang'an, and the attendant was banned.
This in itself is a great reward......
"Twenty-seven." Li Zhi's voice suddenly sounded in front of him, Li Xuan suddenly turned around, then retracted his expression, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty." ”
Li Zhi raised his hand slightly, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then put his hand down.
"I still remember what I said to you back then, I asked you if you would like to be Huo Quai, or Huo Guang, and no one wanted to do it at that time." Li Zhi said with a smile, and the ministers around him who heard this sentence had all quieted down.
Li Xuan sighed with emotion, nodded and said: "The minister was still young at that time, and he couldn't understand His Majesty's good intentions, but if it were today, His Majesty would ask again, and the minister would think that the minister would be Wei Qing, and the Marquis of Changping would be brave and loyal, and the minister would also like His Majesty's exploits to surpass the Han Dynasty and flourish between ancient and modern times." ”
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Wei Qing, Wei Qing.
Compared with Huo Quai, Wei Qing lived long enough, and his military exploits were even worse, compared to Huo Guang, Wei Qing interfered less in the government and politics, and his life was longitudinal, but he was always a knife held in the hand of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, opening up territory for him, pacifying the Huns, and finally died peacefully.
As for the aftermath, the Wei family suffered some implications because of the witch curse, but it was only some.
Except for Wei Qing's eldest son, Wei Yan, who was killed because of his involvement, and Wei Zifu, who committed suicide because he did not want to be humiliated, Wei Yan's heirs and Wei Qing's other descendants were not implicated.
Of course, the Wei family's strength in the imperial court was completely wiped out, which was also the real end of the witch curse.
Li Xuan is willing to be Wei Qing, the emperor uses it to fight on the battlefield and win the battle, the emperor is idle, he sleeps and enjoys peace of mind, and as for the family affairs after death, if he can retain the vast majority of the blood like the Wei family, it is also a glorious thing.
It has always been easy to enter the court, but it is extremely difficult to retreat.
Whether it is Huo Quzhi or Huo Guang, they can't be compared with Wei Qing, and the history books really belittle Wei Qing.
Wei Qing is a model of people and ministers who are truly worth emulating.
Especially for the emperor.
Wei Qing's loyalty throughout his life is the most satisfying.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan and couldn't help laughing, this guy is still loyal in a roundabout way.
Li Zhi leaned back slightly with satisfaction, and said with a somewhat confused look in his eyes: "Twenty-seven Lang, make a poem, today's prosperous scene, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to appear in the future, make a poem for the history books to remember." ”
"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed heavily, then took a long breath of wine, his expression was deep, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "Fu Xing was born in the wild stream, and he carried a bamboo cane through the state.
The rice basket welcomes the waning moon to the dawn, and the song board sings late autumn in the wind.
Born with the first among people, only I live with the sky.
Two feet over the earthly road, one shoulder to bear the sorrows of the past and the present. ”
I don't know when the hall has been completely quiet, and although Li Xuan's voice is soft, it clearly reaches everyone's ears.
There is a hint of disgust in the eyes of many people, this poem is too vulgar.
But this trace of disgust disappeared in an instant, and the faces of the ministers were full of praise in a blink of an eye, because at this moment, the emperor's eyes were full of appreciation.
"Fu was born in the wilderness, carrying a bamboo cane through the state. The rice basket welcomes the waning moon to the dawn, and the song board sings late autumn in the wind. ”
Li Zhi read these two lines of poetry gently, and in a trance he saw his young self, from the merger of the state, the scene of Chang'an in front of the edict, the dawn of the wind and the waning moon, and the late autumn of the song board.
"Born with the first among people, only I live with the sky. Two feet over the earthly road, one shoulder to bear the sorrows of the past and the present. Li Zhi couldn't help but read it out, and then shook his head a little funny.
This "born first", he is the only one in the world, "living with the sky", Li Zhi also thought.
"Stepping on the road of the world with two feet, and shouldering the sorrows of the past and the present", this is the emperor, and only the emperor.
Li Zhi raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "Yes, this poem is enough for me to sleep peacefully for a year." ”
"Your Majesty is in good health, and the minister has found a lot of rare herbs from Luo, Your Majesty can make you use them at your discretion, and you will definitely live for thousands of years, and your life will be the same as the sky." Li Xuan bowed heavily.
The ministers in the palace stood up at the same time at this time, bowed down and praised: "Your Majesty has thousands of years, and your longevity is the same as that of the sky." ”
"Hahahaha......"
……
The banquet dispersed, and before I knew it, it was already dark.
Coming out of the Liangyi Palace, Li Xuan was entangled by the Brunzan blade.
"Dashuai, you can't ignore it, the last general is fighting with you and coming out desperately, the last general is not familiar with the life of the four towns of Anxi, and I ask Dashuai to give me more advice." Brenzan bowed heavily to Li Xuan, his face full of worry.
At first, he was extremely happy, but it didn't take long for him to react completely.
Although he can go to Anxi with 10,000 troops, if he can't gain a firm foothold quickly, then his 10,000 troops are likely to be directly dismembered and cut off.
Even if these people are the same people he brought out from his hometown, there will definitely be people who betray him because of interests.
So he desperately needed a way to gain a foothold on the ground and protect his interests.
But now that he is in Chang'an, he is not familiar with life, and the only help he can find now is Li Xuan.
Li Xuan is not only the general manager of Luo Dao, but also the heir of the dynasty, the general of the right guard, the prince's guest, the emperor's cronies, and the prime minister's grandson-in-law.
Li Xuan looked at Bren Zanjian with a wry smile and said: "Guogong, Xuan has never been to Anxi, and now the capital of Anxi seems to be Du Huaibao." ”
"It's not Du Huaibao, it's Wang Fangyi." Shi Xuan followed aside, and said: "The year before last, the Jiang State conquered the Turks, in order to prevent the Western Turkic turmoil, so I asked Your Majesty to transfer Wang Fangyi of Tingzhou Assassin Shi as the deputy general, and inspect the school to protect the capital of Anxi. ”
Li Xuan suddenly fell silent, and the other generals were also silent at the same time.
Brunzan suddenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and his face was full of surprise for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "Guogong can go directly to take office, if someone is looking for trouble with Guogong, just report the name of the king, but after Guogong takes up the post of deputy capital of Anxi, remember to contact Kazhou more, Your Majesty has an order, and you want us to communicate with the Western Regions." ”
"Whoa!" Bren Zanjian was surprised to give his hand, so he didn't expect Li Xuan's name to be so useful in the Western Regions.
The surrounding generals didn't explain anything, because they all knew that Wang Fangyi, the protector of Anxi, would not be in for a long time.
There are countless generals in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Fangyi is actually counted, and even as long as he is given enough space to display, his talent may not be lost to Pei Xingjian, but unfortunately, he is the cousin of Queen Wang.
The reason why Wang Fangyi has been able to stand firmly in the upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty military and politics all these years is because his grandmother is the eldest princess of Tong'an, the sister of Emperor Gaozu.
Wang Fangyi and the emperor were also cousins within three generations.
It is precisely because of this that when Wang Fangyi was deposed and the Taiyuan Wang family was silent for many years, he was still able to go from Suzhou to Tingzhou, and now he has achieved the position of Anxi Duhu, but everyone knows that his position will not be long in coming.
The emperor is now transferring the Brunzan sword to Anxi, I am afraid that it has the intention of adjustment, as for the other ......
Li Xuan shook her head and walked forward.
The generals also followed after thinking about it.
In the rear, Wu Chengsi walked slowly, his eyes fell on Li Xuan, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, King Nanchang ...... No, King Peng has become a climate.
Immediately, Wu Chengsi couldn't help but shake his head, remembering the poem that Li Xuan wrote in the Liangyi Hall before, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
can say that the flattery of the horse is so sober and refined, and there are few people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can compare to the king of Nanchang.
Born with the first among people, only I live with the sky.
Two feet over the earthly road, one shoulder to bear the sorrows of the past and the present.
Wu Chengsi couldn't help but snort coldly again, it is true that the emperor is the first among people, but Shou and Tianqi are an exaggeration.
Not to mention, there is still a shoulder to bear the sorrows of the past and the present, where did you put the emperor Zaifu, Shangshu, and countless courtiers.
Only "two feet over the earthly road", maybe a little bit, the emperor is indeed in control of the life and death of everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty......
"Zhou Guogong." A voice suddenly sounded on his side, Wu Chengsi suddenly came back to his senses, turned to look, and then hurriedly arched his hand: "I've seen King Han!" ”
Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, nodded and said: "Zongzheng Temple will wear a crown for King Peng tomorrow, and invite Zhou Guogong to come to see him." ”
Wu Chengsi raised his eyebrows, and then arched his hand: "Chenghei will definitely go tomorrow." ”
"I'm in trouble." After Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, finished speaking, he then walked forward, and the clans behind him followed one after another.
Wu Chenghe's heart was awe-inspiring, King Peng has never been alone, and there are countless clans in the Tang Dynasty around him.
Inexplicably, Wu Chengsi thought of himself.
Although he was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he felt that the real power he held was far inferior to that of himself as a secretary and supervisor, as well as when he was the assassin of Fenzhou.
The Ministry of Rites, in addition to being able to say a few words on the great policies of the imperial court, as for the rights within other areas of authority, there are few pitiful.
But Wu Chenghei didn't have much to make the emperor feel bright in terms of the imperial court's policies.
Even Empress Wu was a little disappointed in him.
He is not as good as the king of Nanchang.
No, it's King Peng.
