Chapter 54: Li Yi, King of Shu
"Your Highness."
Before he got close, Guo Ying raised his hand and shouted.
Hearing this, Li Yu turned his head and glanced at Wang Shuwen, only to see Wang Shuwen shaking his head slightly at him, so he stood still and looked at Guo Ying with a smile.
"Hachiro, since the farewell of the Beijing teacher, I don't realize that it has been half a year, how are you doing lately?"
"Thanks to Your Highness, everything is fine." After Guo Ying saw Li Yu, he saluted first, and then asked with a smile: "Your Highness, why did you come to the barracks?" ”
"Since the news of Jiannan's victory came back to Beijing, I have been looking forward to sharing the old feelings with you, and after knowing that you and the Jingyuan soldiers lived in the old camp in the west of the city after returning to the court, I specially asked Your Majesty for my life, and brought a few relatives over."
Li Chen's tone was indescribably relaxed, and even his eyes were faintly excited, in front of others, he wanted to show that he was old and serious, otherwise, it would not be good to be put on a frivolous and uncontrollable brain.
But here in Guo Ying, he doesn't need to pretend, the two of them have grown up together since childhood, they know each other's roots, and they know each other's temperament very well, so Li Yu has no worries about speaking, and he has a bit of self-freedom.
As he spoke, he put his hand on Guo Ying's shoulder and looked at it a few times, and teased: "People say that the battlefield tempers people, and your return this time is really different." ”
"What's the difference?"
"A little less cynicism, a little more majesty." Li Yu said solemnly: "But you are still the high-spirited Guo Ying I know." ”
"Your Royal Highness is not the same" Guo Ying also sighed when he heard this: "I still remember that when I left Beijing, His Royal Highness was still King Xuan, but now he is the prince of the country. ”
"Where is it so exaggerated as you say?" Li Yu shook his head and sighed: "The prince is not as you think, under one person, above ten thousand, I am now trying to survive in the cracks, three times a day, in order to protect myself, a slight mistake, I am afraid that it will be true, and then it will not be as simple as just losing the big position." ”
"So serious?" Guo Ying raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
Emperor Li Shi's second son, Shu Wang Li Yi, is an adopted son, and the third and fourth sons are not descendants, and they are not yet in the year of dancing elephants.
How do you listen to what he said as if he was in danger......
Could it be that as rumors spread in the market, King Shu is not the heir of Li Miao, the prince of Zhaojing, the younger brother of Li Shi, but the emperor's dragon species?
In the blink of an eye, Guo Ying had already thought of many things, and her lips squirmed a few times but she didn't open her mouth after all.
It's not easy for him to ask these words directly, but he vaguely feels in his heart that I'm afraid nine times out of ten it is true.
You must know that the dirty Tang is not just talking, which of Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Li Longji has not gone against the grain?
And Li Shi, the eldest brother of the concubine, adopted the son of his younger brother who had competed with him for the throne, how weird it looked.
You must know that Li Zhen, the king of Han, was only favored by his mother Dugu back then, and some eunuch courtiers said that they should establish Dugu as the queen, but after Li Shi succeeded to the throne, he faded out of the field of vision, and those courtiers who persuaded Dugu to be the queen were purged.
It can be seen that Li Shi is not a broad-minded character.
However, his love for his adopted son Li Yi far exceeds that of his children, which really has to make people wonder if there are some secrets that are not known to outsiders.
Guo Ying secretly pondered, but Li Yu didn't pay attention, only nodded secretly, his expression revealed a little tiredness, and said slowly: "You are not me, I don't understand that my current situation is normal, when you are in a high position in the future, you will be able to appreciate what it means to be in a high place." ”
At this point, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now, except for staying in Shaoyang Courtyard to open up branches and leaves for the royal family, I don't dare to have any other thoughts. ”
Although Guo Ying has little power and strategy, after all, he is also from Jiangmen, and he has understood a lot of things since he was a child, and he was immediately silent when he heard this heart-wrenching words.
There are some things that can only be heard, not spoken.
Even if the two have a good relationship, they can't say it without scruples.
So he didn't ask any further, but diverted the topic: "Does Your Highness want to go into the camp and go around." ”
"Forget it, lest I have another charge of winning the hearts of the army and having ill intentions."
Li Yu shook his head, raised his eyes to look at Guo Ying, and joked with a smile: "Get in the car, I'll let you see the crown prince." ”
Guo Ying knew that he was deliberately avoiding the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, so he didn't make much excuses, and happily sat with him in the golden chariot.
The carriage drove smoothly, Guo Ying pulled down the curtain, leaned on the cushion and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
He hadn't recovered from the shock of the mystery of Li Yi's identity.
"Hachiro." After a moment, Li Yu called in a low voice.
"Huh?"
Guo Ying opened her eyes lazily, glanced at him and said, "Your Highness has something to say." ”
"There's been a lot going on in Beijing lately, you're afraid you don't even know it, right?"
"Yesterday, Lu Zhen, a scholar from Hanlin, visited the barracks, and during the conversation, he always mentioned some changes in government and personnel, so I generally have an understanding of the affairs of Beijing and China." Guo Ying said calmly.
"That's good, so I don't have to talk too much. Some time ago, I discussed the pros and cons of the two tax laws with Hanlin Edict, and no one could convince anyone. ”
Guo Ying blinked a few times and said in surprise: "I'm just a vulgar martial artist, what can I say?" ”
"If you don't, say something else." Li Yu feigned anger and said: "I originally wanted to find a time to go to Zongzheng Temple, so that Zongzheng would enter the name of the late Huo Wang's daughter, the imperial sister Xiaoyu, into the family genealogy, but now it seems that it is in vain to waste my kindness."
"Your Highness......" Guo Ying hurriedly grabbed the wooden platform at hand when he heard this, his face was a little unnatural.
How did his romantic debt reach the ears of the prince?
Since the crown prince knows it, then the emperor must also know, right?
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Yu looked at his embarrassed expression, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm joking with you, it's Your Majesty's intention to let the imperial sister Xiaoyu enter the clan genealogy." ”
"Your Majesty, he ...... Don't care? ”
"Of course my father cares, but after all, Sister Xiaoyu is of royal blood, and no one can say a word if she is allowed to enter the family genealogy.
However, she has been in exile for a long time, her teeth are a little older, and she has not yet been married, and His Majesty has the intention of marrying him to the widowed of the lords. ”
"Oh, then I wonder to which lord your majesty wants to marry her?" Guo Ying's expression tightened when he heard this.
I can't help but be nervous, Huo Xiaoyu is the only girl who has moved his heart since he crossed over, if she is really given to marry someone else, he is afraid that she will go crazy.
"Well...... this"
Li Yu sold a trick in a mysterious way, and then said leisurely: "It depends on whether some people know how to understand or not." ”
Guo Ying was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.
Is this the emperor trying to blackmail him?
I just don't know what the emperor wants him to do?
