Chang'an City.

The city is as prosperous and lively as ever, the people are still the same, what to do, the rhythm of life has not changed because of Dayan's various disasters, at most when drinking and chatting, talk more gossip from all walks of life.

Today, Dayan's biggest external invasion, the Xiongnu, is no longer a problem, and the Yongzhou base camp has finally stabilized.

The war is far from here.

Recently, the Li Mansion has been in full bloom.

In the process of fighting against the Huns, Li Lingwu played an important role, he first personally led the Praetorian Guard to give the Hun army a heavy blow, which in exchange for the possibility of peace, at the negotiation table, the Great Yan side was also led by him.

Along the way, Li Lingwu can be said to have made great contributions.

After Li Lingwu returned to Beijing, Emperor Lu Yuancheng personally held a banquet in the palace and invited him to drink fine wine, accompanied by Lin Yong, Tang Zhifeng, Lu Shiqing, Han Guang and others.

During the banquet, Lu Yuancheng praised Li Lingwu very much, called him the pillar of the imperial court many times, and added the Taibao on the spot.

Of course, rewards such as silver coins and Zhuangzi are not a problem.

Heavenly grace!

Taibao, like Taifu, although they are all false titles now, they represent supreme glory, which is why people do not call Lin Yong the prime minister but Lin Taifu.

Li Lingwu's status in the court was originally slightly lower than Lin Yong, Lu Shiqing, and Tang Zhifeng, but now he has the name of Taibao, which is enough to be on an equal footing with them.

Regarding Li Lingwu's other son, Li Wuchang, everyone had a tacit understanding that they did not mention it, even Lu Shiqing, who was usually extremely strong, did not dare to speak out to stimulate Li Lingwu at this moment.

Although Li Wuchang has been divided, what he did has nothing to do with the Li family in Chang'an City, even if he rebels, he will not be implicated in the Li family, but he is Li Lingwu's son after all.

After the banquet, the emperor left Li Lingwu and talked with him alone for a long time, as for what was specifically discussed, no one except the two of them knew.

The emperor's entourage was also standing far away at that time, only to see Li Lingwu kneeling on the ground and thanking Tianen loudly before leaving the palace.

In this way, Li Lingwu's father and son were rewarded by the emperor at the same time, and the limelight of the Li Mansion was unparalleled for a while, and the guests from all walks of life almost broke through the threshold.

The elders of the Li family are happy one by one, the power of the Li Mansion has now risen to a higher level, and if they work hard, they may be able to catch up with the Lin family in the future.

The Zhang family has recently become very angry in the circle of noblewomen in Chang'an City.

She was very happy because Li Wufeng got a viscount, although Li Wufeng will inherit the duke passed down from his ancestors in the future, but the viscount rewarded by the emperor is also hereditary and can be passed on to future generations, the eldest son is impossible, but it can be passed on to the second son, which is decent.

It is a cliché that official positions are easy to obtain, but titles are hard to find.

If you want a son, of course, you have to marry a daughter-in-law, so the Zhang family recently wanted to find a good daughter-in-law of Li Wufeng.

As soon as this idea was revealed, many people came to the door to say goodbye, most of them were big families, and even many princes sent people to the Li Mansion to tell Li Wufeng about their county lord.

In addition to Li Wufeng, Li Lingwu's only daughter Li Wufeng also has a lot of people who are concerned, but a long time ago, Li Lingwu had the intention of giving Li Wufeng to Han Dade a long time ago, and Han Guang naturally agreed.

The two families are world friends, and they have a lot of friendship, if Han Dade and Li Wufeng become a couple, the two families will only be close to each other.

The Li Mansion is thriving.

It stands to reason that Li Lingwu, who is the patriarch of the Li family, should also be very happy.

however

This is not the case.

Li Lingwu always greets people with a smile when he accompanies the guests to drink, and always responds modestly to all kinds of compliments, saying that Da Yan is duty-bound, and he is also very generous to various requests from relatives and friends.

Every time he returned to the study, Li Lingwu was often silent alone for a long time.

"Big brother, something seems wrong with you lately, but is something big going to happen?"

Li Hu saw Li Lingwu's abnormality and asked, and Li Zhongyue and Li Qing on the side also showed concern.

The three of them have been messing around with Li Lingwu since they were young, and they have always admired and respected Li Lingwu, the eldest brother, a brother for decades, and they can tell at a glance whether Li Lingwu's mood is good or bad.

Li Lingwu shook his head and did not speak.

Li Zhongyue cautiously probed: "Big brother, what did His Majesty say to you that day?

As soon as these words came out, Li Hu and Li Qing both looked at Li Lingwu carefully, hoping that he would give an answer.

After the palace banquet, many people were curious about what the emperor left Li Lingwu to talk about, but no one knows so far, Li Lingwu has never told his family, and no one has asked.

"Don't be cranky!"

Seeing that his younger brothers were all serious, Li Lingwu immediately waved his hand and explained: "Your Majesty still trusts the Li family as usual, he just chatted with me casually that day, alas......"

Looks like I don't want to say more.

Li Zhongyue patted his chest and said with relief: "I'll just say, Your Majesty must be looking at the big brother, otherwise he wouldn't have sealed the Taibao, let alone sealed Wufeng and Wufeng!"

Since Li Lingwu didn't want to say more, they didn't study it in detail.

As long as His Majesty still trusts the Li family, everything else is easy to say.

Li Qing sighed and said, "Big brother is thinking about impermanence?"

For Li Wuchang's nephew, Li Qing's thoughts have always been very complicated, everyone is a concubine, he not only admires Li Wuchang's toughness, but also feels sorry for Li Wuchang.

For courtiers, there has been a saying since ancient times that thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces.

Judging from the text issued by Li Wuchang, the emperor may have really known about Lu Xuandong's actions a long time ago, but he did not stop it.

The monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!

You Li Wuchang has a lot of money, right, hand it all over, and use it when negotiating peace with the Huns.

Li Lingwu narrowed his eyes, and it took a long time to open them, with a helpless expression on his face, and said slowly: "I'm ashamed of their mother and son!"

There was infinite sadness in the tone.

Since he learned that Li Wuchang rebelled, he would always think of the gentle woman more than 20 years ago, and he would also think of the bits and pieces of Li Wuchang's presence.

What a son!

Good martial arts, good medical skills, a set of business, and civil knowledge, can take care of a military village in an orderly manner, so that everyone is well fed and clothed, and even becomes Feng Yi's richest Zhuangzi.

The most important thing is that Li Wuchang is always respectful to his father and has never complained about anything.

Li Lingwu still remembers Li Wuchang's words.

“...... In fact, how can there be so many hatreds and resentments between father and son, I often hear people say that father and son were enemies in the previous life, and in this life they became father and son for the sake of cause and effect, I sound quite reasonable!

...... I wanted to complain that you were coming, I wanted to yell at you, I even wanted to do it, but strangely, every time I see you, I just want you to say a few words to me. ”

Li Wuchang just wanted to have a few good words with his father.

Every time Li Lingwu thought about it, he felt sad, he felt that he had become less like himself, he had become a victim of gains and losses, and he was always afraid that one day he would suddenly hear the news of Li Wuchang's death.

He wanted to compensate Li Wuchang but didn't know how to start.

Do you want to go to Fangling to persuade Li Wuchang, or just arrest him and send him to a safe place?

With Li Wuchang's personality, can he be caught with his hands tied?

At that time, I am afraid that there will really be a situation where father and son will draw their swords against each other.

What about the Nine Rank Masters?

What about the Taibao?

Li Hu whispered comfortingly: "Big brother, you don't have to worry too much, that kid of impermanence is terrible now! He not only has a lot of masters to protect him, but also has more than 10,000 troops." ”

"Oh?"

Li Lingwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it specifically!"
