"Lord of the Kingdom. ”

At this time, a slightly old voice came from behind the gardener, Guan Shanyue, or Li Qiuhuang, turned around lightly, looked at the official in a formal court dress, and said with a smile: "Cai Yong, why did you suddenly know to come here to find me?"

Cai Yong bent his knees, knelt heavily, and even prostrated his upper body on the ground, saying, "The old minister is here to ask for sin." ”

"Please?" Li Qiuhuang shook his head and said, "Cai Zhuguo is old and serious, he has been conscientious for decades, and he has not slackened for a day, what is the crime?"

Cai Yong didn't look up, but opened his old eyes slightly, and said: "The lord of the country appointed the little girl to enter the palace to accompany her, but the old minister had no way to teach his son, and the little girl was stubborn. ”

Li Qiuhuang looked at Cai Yong who was kneeling on the ground, and the playful appearance of Cai Yan fleeing from Cai's mansion with a sly smile had already appeared in his mind, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Xiao Yan'er ran away again?" is really interesting...... Get up, innocent, run away, it's not the first time. ”

The minister was terrified. Cai Yong insisted: "The old minister responded to this matter, but this is the result, the crime is the same as bullying the king, but he was pardoned by this, which is really against the law of the court, and he also asked the lord of the country to withdraw his order and severely punish the old minister, so as to be able to serve the public." ”

Li Qiuhuang was a little helpless and said, "Cai Yong." I don't care about this, so why do you have to pay so much attention to this matter? My invitation to Xiao Yan'er into the palace is a private matter, and it has nothing to do with the court, and it doesn't matter whether she comes or not. ”

"The words of the lord of the country, the old minister cannot approve. Cai Yong still didn't get up, "As the king of a country, the lord of the country has no public or private affairs, every move, word and deed, all of them are the official affairs of my Tang Kingdom, and the old minister ......"

"Okay, okay, okay, don't say that listening to such a lot of lonely ears hurts, no wonder Xiao Yan'er thinks about Qiaojia all day long. You, you're too serious, Xiao Yan'er wants to go out for a walk, or what? You have to lock people up in the house. Li Qiuhuang had the impression that this old minister seemed to be always in the tip of the horns, no matter how many times he pulled him, he didn't care, but drilled deeper.

It's like an earthworm in the soil......

Li Qiuhuang coughed lightly, a little embarrassed to abandon this idea, he also sighed, knowing that if he didn't let him agree at this time, he was afraid that he would be able to keep chattering here, seeing that Cai Yong was about to open his mouth to speak again, he hurriedly said: "Then...... Fines for three months, as a warning, get up, the ground is cold, you are this age again, when you get sick, no one will deal with national affairs, but it will be the loss of my Tang Kingdom. ”

"Thank you, Lord of the country. Cai Yong finally stood up, his every move can be described as a model of etiquette, but Li Qiuhuang didn't bother to look at it at the moment, turned his back directly, and walked forward slowly, "Cai Yong, how many years have you been an official?"

"Returning to the country, the old minister was an official at the age of twenty-four, and it has been forty-three years now. ”

"Forty-three years...... Patriarch of the Three Dynasties. Li Qiuhuang sighed: "That's it, don't talk about this, the banquet is about to start." ”

"Yes. Cai Yong replied.

"Come with me. Li Qiuhuang said.

"Yes. ”

Li Qiuhuang pouted: "Can you not be so hard that yes, Gu is now wearing a ragged shirt and cutting flowers here, what do you have to do with those courtesies of monarchs and ministers?"

"The old minister obeys the king's orders. Cai Yong bowed his head and said.

"Uh......" Li Qiuhuang's words stuck in his throat, and after a while, he shook his head: "You are really ...... That's it. ”

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something: "By the way, Cai Yang is back in Ding'an today, right?"

"Yes. The second son of his leader should have taken the men and horses out of the barracks and came straight to the palace, but Cai Yong's face still had the same expression, and he said respectfully: "You should rest in the barracks." ”

Li Qiuhuang nodded, and asked as he walked, "What is the situation at the border?"

"Nope. Cai Yong said: "Since the big war that year, the border has basically been a little fighting, and it can't be put on the stage. As for Jing Wu...... Lao Chen received a tip-off that Gao Changgong had now stationed all the three Qingzhou ghost horsemen outside Jianye City, screened the elites among them, and formed a strong army, probably in order to replace the war horses from the North Barbarians soon. ”

"Northern Barbarian War Horse ......" Li Qiuhuang sighed lightly: "It is indeed a good thing, I didn't expect the Great Wall to ask for help, but in the end, Jing Wu took advantage of it, she is too ...... After all, it was a little short-sighted. ”

Cai Yong's eyes flickered, but quickly relented.

"That's it, don't mention that. Li Qiuhuang made a gesture and said: "Don't let Cai Yang rest in the barracks, let him enter the palace, it's lively, I may not have seen him for a long time, and I want to see how majestic this stinky boy is now." ”

The two walked out of the imperial garden, there were eunuchs waiting at the door for a long time, as soon as they saw Li Qiuhuang and Cai Yong walking out one after the other, they were about to kneel immediately, Li Qiuhuang waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to be polite, and asked: "Wang Guifei still refuses to go to the banquet?"

The eunuch said in a low voice: "Wang Guifei said that she was suffering from the wind and cold, so she won't go." ”

"Wind cold?" Li Qiuhuang smiled slightly bitterly, "You go and talk to her, I'm afraid that her pot of 'hydrangea' can't be saved, but Lone will let people go to other countries to look for it, see if they can find chrysanthemums of the same species, and when they find it, they will send it to her...... Today is too much, ruining her flowers, and Lone is a little unhappy. ”

The eunuch did not agree, stood in place and hesitated for a while, and then said hesitantly: "The lord of the country." Wang Guifei said that even if the flowers are still blooming, the love is no longer there, so there is no need to ...... Don't bother the lord of the country. ”

Li Qiuhuang was silent for a while, a little excited: "Yes, did she say that?" He sighed and pinched his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "You go down." ”

"Yes, Lord. ”

Originally, the eunuch knew that he was going to come to pass the word, but he was also terrified, this kind of words came out of his mouth, which was basically considered a big disrespect, although he was just a messenger, but the status of the palace eunuch was low, and his life was cheap, who knows if the lord of the country will behead himself in a fit of anger?

It's just that Wang Guifei has always been lenient with her subordinates on weekdays, and he has also received a lot of favors, if he can, he always wants to repay something. He thought of the beautiful but lonely back who was always in the deep palace, and only felt that the lord of the country was really eccentric, even though Yang Guifei was very beautiful, but was Wang Guifei not worthy of his personal coaxing?

But it seems that Li Qiuhuang didn't intend to blame him, but made him a little confused.

The eunuch plucked up his courage and glanced up at Li Qiuhuang, only to find that he was just standing quietly in place, looking at the bright moon in the sky, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was just in a pure daze.

The eunuch bowed his head again, took a few steps back according to etiquette, and then turned and left.

Cai Yong said softly: "The lord of the country, the affairs of the harem, the minister should not intervene, but in the ancestral system of the Tang State, the lord of the country should be evenly stained with rain and dew, spread branches and leaves, and continue the national ancestry, instead of giving all his enthusiasm to Yang Guifei." ”

"Full of enthusiasm?" Li Qiuhuang turned his head to look at Cai Yong, as if he was smiling, "Is it courteous, right?" Cai Yong, you might as well just say that Lone is a king of absurdity, and the lord of mediocrity has it." ”

"I don't dare. Cai Yong said.

"I don't dare, but I don't want to. Li Qiuhuang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Cai Yong, you say, if I abdicate......"

"The lord of the country must not speak in vain!" Before Li Qiuhuang finished speaking, Cai Yong was already bursting with thunder, and with this bursting shout, he knelt down with his five bodies, nodded to the ground with his head, and said in a trembling voice: "The lord of the country is the king of the Tang country, the father of thousands of Li people, the Tang country can have no old ministers, but it cannot be without the father of the monarch for a day! The lord of the country should be cautious and self-controlled, and he should not say such weightless words!"

Li Qiuhuang was stunned by his roar, and was silent for a while, as if he was pondering something.

It's just that he still couldn't say anything after all, there seemed to be a place of disappointment in his heart, and at this moment he was once again covered with a layer of ice and snow, he sighed, laughing at himself as the so-called "poet fairy" and "wine fairy", which sounded extremely chic, and even a little detached, but who knew that he was actually the biggest prisoner in this Ding'an city......

"Cai Yong, it's Lonely's mistake, you get up. Li Qiuhuang said.

Cai Yong was still on his knees.

"Get up, do you want to beg you alone?" Li Qiuhuang snorted.

Cai Yong moved at this time, and stood up straight with a trembling body, he is indeed old, and he brought back a lot of old injuries when he was young, and now he has some cold, and he will have some faint pain.

Li Qiuhuang didn't look at him, and walked straight in one direction.
