Chapter 51: Ten Mile Long Pavilion
As he spoke, the two of them came to the box inside.
Zhao Songlin soon arranged for someone to bring many beauties, Li Xuan was dazzled, and then left all of them behind.
"I've got some good wine today, and it's a great wine."
Just as Li Chengzhou took out a pot of wine, he was immediately stopped by Li Xuan.
He stretched out his hand to stop Li Chengzhou's action of pouring wine, and then a sad expression appeared on his face.
"Uncle Huang, don't hurt me, I drank until dawn that night and went directly to the morning court, not to mention the smell of alcohol on my body, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, if I wasn't surprised by your actions, I am afraid it would be a big mistake."
He let out a long sigh, with a helpless look on his face, but Li Chengzhou at this moment was smiling.
"However, Uncle Huang, why did you let these people go?"
At a glance, those people knew that they were ordered by the general to find fault, and with the general's character, they would not give up easily at all.
If you don't teach these people a good lesson, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future.
But Li Chengzhou just smiled indifferently, and then poured himself a glass of wine and considered it.
"Although he is a martial artist, he also has the habit of reading and learning calligraphy on weekdays, but the people he friends with are reckless temperaments, so naturally he can't think about some things in detail, and I also asked his subordinates to bring the painting back, and he will definitely let his disciples think about it."
Li Chengzhou had already calculated that if he wanted to settle the matter with the general, he must first state his position.
It is also a helpless move to offend the general today.
But now he can be regarded as offending everyone, and in the case of his own weak strength, he still doesn't want to be hostile to this group of people for a long time.
The two drank here to catch up, and Li Chengzhou learned a lot of interesting things during the banquet.
It seems that the people of the harem have long since turned the contradictions to others.
The minds of these concubines are not on the emperor, but on these princes.
Sooner or later, one day they will compete for the throne, and if they press the wrong treasure, there will be no way to retreat.
"I heard that those concubines fought for a lot of blood, and they insisted on giving the existing pearls of the East China Sea to the prince and the crown princess, but not long after the prince got the pearls, the emperor Long Yan was furious, and those concubines looked distressed, and tried their best to ask for it, but they were helpless."
Bet on the wrong treasure, you can only feel sorry for yourself.
"However, these concubines have changed quickly, and some of them have given some gifts to other brothers, and when the queen learned about this, she punished them for copying Buddhist scriptures and cultivating themselves."
Smart people can see that the queen is obviously taking the opportunity to take revenge on these people, but if it were not for the emperor's instructions, would the queen offend them with such fanfare?
Li Chengzhou smiled and poured another glass of wine.
The aroma of wine continued to tumble and spread in his nostrils, and as he took a sip, the strong liquor crossed his throat, bringing a hint of coolness and spiciness.
"If you are a smart person, don't get involved in the strife of this group of women, which concubine has no backing behind it? To be able to suffer this humiliation is just to observe the attitude of this group of supported princes, if you get involved, I am afraid that you will be eaten by this group of guys, and there will be no bones left. ”
Li Xuan has the best relationship with him, the two are friends of wine and meat, and as an elder, I hope he can have smooth sailing.
On the surface, Li Xuan's face was calm, but his heart was already full of clouds.
"It's not too early, Uncle Huang has been busy these days, it's better to rest early, if your father asks you to go to court tomorrow, I'm afraid I will have to hand over some tasks to you."
Although his face was modest, he was already dissatisfied in his heart.
In his eyes, Li Chengzhou is just a dashing prince who has no real power, and he can communicate with him, but it is just because the two have similar interests.
In the past five years, he has already transformed into a different kind of person.
At first, you can indulge in pleasure without a heart, but as a descendant of the royal family, you can only be eaten in one bite without any ambition.
Li Chengzhou nodded, but still sent him out in person.
Before parting, Li Chengzhou wanted to speak and stopped.
Li Xuan saw his thoughts, and then sighed.
"In the past few years, you have closed your doors and worked hard to cultivate, but the court has already changed, everything is no longer the same, I just hope that Uncle Huang can always be comfortable, how can you turn things around if you are born in this kind of family?"
His face was full of sorrow and distress, and for a while, the thousands of thoughts in his heart only turned into sadness at this moment.
"If you don't be an idle cloud and wild crane, how can you be comfortable today? How could I not know your ambitions? Now I have to stick to my heart. ”
Li Chengzhou let out a long sigh, and then watched Li Xuan leave.
He made a lot of money today, and he immediately asked Zhao Songlin to sort out an account and sort out all the taxes that should be paid.
"At this time, we can't be sloppy, since we are meeting friends with poetry with great fanfare today, we will definitely let Your Majesty know, but don't wait for Your Majesty to ask us for detailed rules, and it is beneficial to explain it earlier."
At the beginning, the emperor handed over this place to him to manage, just to make up for it in order to empty his power, but he never thought that such a place would be managed by him in a very orderly manner, and even generate some benefits.
Zhao Songlin nodded again and again, and then Li Chengzhou was about to go back, when he suddenly met several masked black-clothed people on the way.
Just as Li Chengzhou was about to fight them, the man flew a dart and plunged it directly into the trunk of the tree beside Li Chengzhou.
Before he could chase after them, the men left in a hurry, and Li Chengzhou turned his head to find a letter on the dart.
The handwriting on the letter is very elegant, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and at a glance you know that it is the words practiced by people who practice martial arts.
"On the eve of dawn, ten miles long pavilion."
He silently read the eight words on the note, and then crumpled the note into a fine powder that dissipated in the cold wind.
Not long after, he rode a fast horse to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the imperial city.
With the bright moonlight, he slowly walked into the long pavilion.
A burly figure came into view, this person was the majestic general in the court in the past.
But after experiencing General Zhenyuan, he became a little depressed, and he had long lost his former demeanor.
It seems that the general invited him to meet here today, not to establish an exchange, but to understand the previous things clearly.
"I didn't expect you to come to the appointment alone, aren't you afraid that I will kill you here?"
He already had a place in the court, and even had his own party members, so he naturally did not take Li Chengzhou, an idle prince with no real power, in his eyes.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Li Chengzhou knew that these people did not put themselves in their eyes.
"If the general wants to kill this king, why wait until today in the Ten Mile Long Pavilion? I can't even save my own people, so what's the use of killing me, an idle prince? ”
