Volume 1 Chang'an Chapter 63 (2)
(Two more chapters first, and more in the evening.) )
Lu Yan shook his head, he also felt that his head was big now: "If Li Guanshu didn't die in the hands of Xu Qingfeng, he could only die in the hands of the disciples of the Daomen of Zhongnan Mountain—maybe it was the disciples of the Daomen of Zhongnan Mountain, who did not all go to besiege Nangong No. 1 and beheaded Xu Qingfeng and more than a dozen Daomen disciples after Li Guanshu killed him." ”
"These are just speculations! What this prince wants is the facts, the truth!" Wei Baoheng was furious, "None of those clan disciples know the inside story?"
Lu Yan replied: "When Prince Gong came back, he was seriously injured, and his entourage was nowhere to be seen, perhaps, they knew something, but after they came back, they didn't say a word about Niushou Mountain. ”
Wei Baoheng waved his hand: "Then put pressure on them! Especially Prince Gong and Lord Li, among the children of the clan, the entourage they brought is the highest cultivation, and this prince doesn't believe it, and the two masters of the fifth level of Qi cultivation have disappeared, and they have nothing to say! Li Guanshu's death is not a pity, but the cause of death must be investigated! Li Ye doesn't say it, forget it, Prince Gong and Wu Yuma, they must be let say!"
"It's nature. Lu Yan nodded, and then changed his words, "What about the assessment results this time?"
Wei Baoheng was annoyed when he thought of this: "The reason why Li Guanshu planted Sanqingguan is known is because of that Li Ye, what's the matter with this kid, he was originally a waste, and suddenly he became both civil and military?"
Lu Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, this problem is actually well known to everyone, it is nothing more than Yuan Tiangang's inheritance.
Wei Baoheng suddenly asked, "Master Yuan...... Where the hell did they go?"
Lu Yan smiled bitterly: "It has been a hundred years since Yuan Tianshi disappeared, no one has seen him for a hundred years, some people say that he went to sea to visit immortals, some people say that he lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and some people say that he has long since died, who knows." ”
Wei Baoheng shook his head: "Yuan Tianshi is a real person in the realm, the first person in the world, it is good to say that he visited the immortals and returned to seclusion, but to say that he is dead, my father does not believe it." ”
After a moment of silence, Wei Baoheng knew that he was off-topic, and said with his hand on his forehead: "That kid Li Ye, after all, is the heir of Prince An, even if he scores first in the assessment, there is no need to give him any real power official position...... Your Majesty, you won't promise it. ”
Lu Yan nodded, this matter is not incomprehensible in front of the real authorities.
"How to characterize Li Guanshu's death?" Lu Yan asked.
"Sanqingguan rebelled, kidnapped the children of the clan, Xing Guogong went to the rescue alone, unfortunately died!" Wei Baoheng said, "Li Guanshu's death is not a pity, but he can't let him tarnish his reputation!"
When Lu Yan heard this, he didn't say anything, but sighed in his heart.
The matter of Li Guanshu framing Sanqingguan for rebellion has spread, Wei Baoheng is so characterized, it is tantamount to covering his ears and stealing the bell, it will only backfire, but the court always has to give an explanation for this matter, Wei Baoheng is not unaware of the disadvantages of doing this, but in the face of interests, can he retreat?
Wei Baoheng probably saw Lu Yan's strange appearance, and said in an accentuated tone: "Li Guanshu, as the prince of the imperial dynasty and the general of the left guard, must die a glorious death, this is for the prestige of the imperial court! Sanqingguan can rebel, and there is no shortage of ill-intentioned people in this world at any time, but if the prince of the country is corrupt and perverts the law to the point of rebelling and harming several mountain villages, and spreads it, doesn't that tell the world that the Tang Dynasty and politics have been in chaos?!"
"What Wei Gong said is extremely true. Lu Yan gave up, he understood what Wei Baoheng meant, it was nothing more than whitewashing the peace.
But if the dynasty reaches the point where it needs to whitewash the peace, it will really not be peaceful.
Wu Hongshan sat on the high chair, looking at Wu You standing in front of him, his expression was definitely not cordial, and his voice exuded a chill: "You really don't know, how Prince Gong's son was injured, and how his entourage died?"
"The father has asked many times, and the child has answered many times, why doesn't the father believe it?" Wu You's tone was stiff and he stood upright.
Wu Hongshan sank his face: "Duke Wei has already sent someone to ask, you should know that no one in the current court can disobey Duke Wei, this matter can be seen by everyone is unusual, you keep silent, how can you be a father?"
Wu You is petite, although she is twenty-eight years old, but she looks like she is just a cardamom girl, under the pressure of Wu Hongshan, her shoulders are extremely thin, but she always stiffens her neck: "Things are unusual, should the child know? What the child doesn't know, how can he tell his father? It was Li Jing'an who was injured, and it was his entourage who died, but Duke Wei sent someone to ask his father, why didn't he go directly to ask Prince Gong, did he think his father was weak and bullied?"
"Bastard!" Wu Hongshan slapped the armrest of the sandalwood chair heavily, and the muscles on his face trembled, obviously really angry.
In the end, it was her father, although she was very doting on herself on weekdays, but in the face of anger, Wu You couldn't be fearless at all, so tears began to roll in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and endured it desperately to prevent tears from overflowing.
Seeing his daughter's appearance, Wu Hongshan couldn't help but feel soft, what was he doying on this daughter, he couldn't bear to be harsh, sighed heavily, looked sad, waved his hand, and let Wu You retreat.
Leaving the small courtyard, Wu You wiped her tears, although she didn't like Wu Hongshan and was afraid of the powerful and self-preservation, but Wu Hongshan's sad appearance still made her not hold back her tears.
didn't take a few steps, someone followed in the dark, it was an old man hidden in the dark, like a shadow, Wu You didn't look back, but his voice was cold: "If you let me know that you revealed half a word to your father, even if I can't kill you, I will make you worse than dead!"
At this moment, the girl looked like a god.
The old man bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, the old slave will never dare to say much." ”
He is a guest of the Horse Mansion, and he thinks about the Horse Mansion in everything, so in Niushou Mountain, in the face of Li Jing'an's proposal, he will persuade Wu You to form an alliance with Li Guanshu, but he has been guarding Wu You for a long time, and in this kind of "harmless" thing, he can also rely on Wu You's temperament.
In addition, the old man knew Wu You's temper, she had already made up her mind, and her words would be done.
As for that, King An, who showed strong strength in Niushou Mountain and was decisive in killing, the old man was not willing to offend more. The other party grew up too fast, and the old man was very afraid.
Wu You raised her head, looked at the crescent moon in the night sky, stunned for a long time, her clean and beautiful, but childish face, there was a different kind of perseverance under the clear light, she whispered: "Twenty years can't practice, you have suffered too much, your uncle died in battle, you are in a difficult situation, now you have real strength, you need to be Taoguang to cultivate obscurity, even if you don't ask me to do anything, I will try my best to do everything I can." ”
She smiled suddenly, her smile was so clean that the stars seemed to melt into the dimples: "I don't know how Li Guanshu died, but you can even kill Li Jing'an's entourage with one move, so even if Li Guanshu dies in your hands, I won't be surprised-in this huge Chang'an City, who would have expected that you are already so powerful? Brother Ye, hiding your strength hides the possibility of you killing Li Guanshu, I will help you do it." ”
Prince Gong's Mansion.
After sending off the people sent by Wei Baoheng, Prince Gong stood under the eaves, looking at the night sky with his hands in his hands, and was silent for a long time.
Li Jing'an, who had recovered from his injuries, came to Prince Gong's side, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Father, why do we have to hide the facts of that day? Don't tell Duke Wei the truth about Li Ye's strength? Isn't it good to let Wei Cheng treat Li Ye and deal with Li Ye?"
Prince Gong glanced at Li Jing'an and said slowly: "The reason for this, my father didn't tell you before, because my father thought you could figure it out, but now it seems that you have been blinded by the humiliation of the day." Then the Father will tell you why, and you will hear clearly, and the Father will not say it a second time. ”
Prince Gong's eyes were deep, and his voice was steady: "You have been asking your father before, thinking that your father's cultivation is your skill, why did you retreat from the army in the rush when you were in your prime, and you were idle at home and had nothing to do." Today, my father tells you that this is all because of the lessons of King An. ”
"Our Majesty is not a wise Majesty, the current court is not a court that can make contributions, this is true for ordinary people, and even more so for the children of the clan. Even the latter are in a particularly difficult situation. Because once the children of the clan become bigger, have great power, and have popular popularity, then the threat to that position will be greater than that of ordinary people, because their surname is Li. And His Majesty's jealousy will also be deeper than that of ordinary ministers. ”
"The government has reached this point, and my father hopes you will see it thoroughly. is not Wu Hongshan, a father who knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefers to go to the tiger mountains, hoping to seek a trace of authority in the cracks, so he lives in a state of aggrievedness. The idea of being a father is to stay away from the court. Because, that means staying away from right and wrong. ”
"Now you should understand why the Father didn't let you tell the truth that day. The current King An, since he got the inheritance of Yuan Tianshi, not only is he both civil and military, but more importantly, his luck is different. Such a person is better to stay away, not to mention friendship, and if he can, he will not provoke. ”
Speaking of this, Prince Gong turned his head and looked at Li Jing'an: "My father agreed to let you go out, not because I want you to show your strength and occupy a high position, but because I want you to have a half-official position and not be underestimated, which is enough." Don't expect too much else. Although Li Ye hurt you, he didn't do it too much, and today, he also sent someone to send a gift, although the gift is not expensive, but the heart has arrived. However, what really makes a father value is his heart and skill in dealing with the world—better than his father!"
Prince Gong sighed: "Let's see, now this King An, in terms of cultivation, is no longer inferior to the old King An, and the old King An is too upright, he can send someone today and take the initiative to show favor to his father, which shows that his wrists are smooth and not too upright." This Chang'an City is destined to have a lot of trouble with him, and we look at it, don't get involved. ”
Prince Gong took one last look at Li Jing'an and left.
He had a feeling in his heart that he didn't say and couldn't say.
is also a child of the clan and a prince, and compared with Li Xian, he has lost too much.
Back then, he lost his cultivation and lost his battlefield exploits.
Now, he has lost his heirs.
