Daily life of captives

Everyone except Zhang Wei lost the memory of the second half of the drunken meal, but everyone remembered what Zhang Wei said at that time, so in the morning court on the second day, the wise man Using the hangover as an excuse to recuperate at home, even Jie Jun who received the news was unwell, but the honest man went to court as usual, but he fully experienced what is unprecedented embarrassment.

Inside the Xuanzheng Hall, Liu Ce, who was sitting on the dragon chair, dozed off as usual.

The grandson Boyi was sitting upright on the left side of Liu Ce. He always had a serious expression, but today his face was even darker, his eyes were slightly lowered, and his calm aura was a bit terrifying.

Because Zhang Wei is the oldest among the generals, he always sits next to Changsun Boyi. In the past, he never felt that Changsun Boyi's quietness was unbearable, but today he felt like sitting on pins and needles from the moment he sat down. .

Also fidgeting were the other generals who knew but could not say anything.

Yong Ning received the news from his subordinates at Haishi yesterday, so he was not surprised to see this scene at this time, he just pretended not to know anything, and sat downright on Liu Ce's right hand with his eyes downcast.

But the other civil servants didn't know what happened at all, and vaguely felt that the atmosphere among the generals was a bit dignified, but it was not a good time to ask questions early.

The Minister of Rites peeked at Yong Ning, and got a signal from Yong Ning, and then stepped forward.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

"Ah!" Liu Ce woke up startled, and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, "What? What's wrong?"

Although he was used to such a scene, seeing that the person who was about to officially become the emperor still had this kind of virtue, Minister of Rites still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Glancing at the immovable Changsun Boyi, the Minister of Rites could only pretend to be calm and continued: "Your Majesty, I have a book to play. A few days ago, General Changsun suggested that you should be crowned kings for the founding heroes, and the minister has already prepared it." Please take a look at the relevant matters, Your Majesty."

He originally disagreed with the matter of becoming a king.Since ancient times, this king with a different surname has not been canonized casually. If he can't handle it properly in the future, there will be endless troubles.Their foundation is not stable, so it is not appropriate to cause troubles.

Originally, he had already written a rebuttal note, but the Minister of the Ministry of War suddenly came to visit and reminded him, and only then did he understand the intentions of General Changsun and Shang Shuling.

So in this booklet, he suppressed the rights enjoyed by kings with different surnames as much as possible. Their majesty probably couldn't see anything, and those so-called generals probably didn't understand either. Next, just read this booklet. Does the written thing fit General Changsun's wishes?

"Feng Wang?" Liu Ce was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized, "Oh! Feng Wang! Give the booklet to the eldest grandson, to the eldest grandson."

The newly appointed chief eunuch was already familiar with this pattern, he walked out from behind Liu Ce, went to the Ministry of Rites and took the papers, and then handed them over to the grandson Boyi.

The eldest grandson Boyi took the notebook, flipped through it without saying a word, and after reading all of it, he took out another notebook from his arms: "This general also wrote a notebook about the matter of sealing the king, please... General Zhang, let's take a look."

As soon as the words fell, eldest grandson Boyi handed over the two notebooks in his hand to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei swallowed, and took the two notebooks, but he still didn't dare to look at Changsun Boyi.

Although he had decided to stay in Chang'an to help his eldest grandson, he couldn't tell the truth. He still felt a little sorry for his eldest grandson.

In the booklet written by the Ministry of Rites, all the generals were conferred king titles, including Zhang Wei, and because Zhang Wei was originally from Dengzhou, the fiefdom was also enshrined in Dengzhou.

But in the booklet written by Changsun Boyi, only Zhang Wei was mentioned, and he had no title or honor. The eldest Sun Boyi didn't write a single word about the rights and power he possessed. What he wrote in the notebook was the salary of General Huaihua and the address of the general's residence.

Seeing these two booklets, Zhang Wei's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, he can't tell the difference between these official positions in the imperial court, but judging from these two books, if he accepts the title of king, at least he still has the power to fief the land and supervise the garrison, and he can also be related to the soldiers, but if he wants to If he wanted to stay in Chang'an, the eldest grandson was only willing to give him an empty title. Apart from a general's mansion and a seemingly generous salary, he probably had nothing.

Zhang Wei hesitated a lot, but remembering what the man said, Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and chose General Huaihua.

"The last general will listen to General Changsun."

The eldest grandson Boyi glanced at Zhang Wei, took two notebooks from Zhang Wei, and handed them to the chief eunuch who was waiting in front of him.

"Then, Shang Shuling also take a look."

"Okay." Yong Ning took a look at the two brochures, smiled suddenly, and said, "It's General Changsun who loves his brother. General Zhang is old, and it's really not suitable for him to go to the bitter cold places in the frontier. I was negligent."

After saying this, Yong Ning handed the two books together to the Minister of Rites: "Just follow General Changsun's method."

What kind of medicine did Zhang Wei take wrongly?This Chang'an City is the territory of Li Shao and his eldest grandson. No matter what Zhang Wei thinks in his heart, if he stays in Chang'an, it will be tantamount to staying under the surveillance of Li Shao and his eldest grandson day and night, and being imprisoned in Chang'an. What?

There is something strange about this.

"Yes." The Minister of Rites returned his seat after answering. Seeing that no one noticed him, he secretly opened the notebook written by Changsun Boyi and took a quick glance. Doubt.

A third-rank martial official... this position is really very delicate. A third-rank official sounds like a high-ranking official, but a casual official is different from a ministerial official. He does not participate in government affairs at all. Accompanied by Shengjia, but if it is not pleasing, then [-]% will be forgotten by the court... Could it be that Zhang Wei intends to use the court's salary to support his life?

Yong Ning raised his eyes and looked at Changsun Boyi, who had been silent with his eyes downcast, pondered for a while, then bowed to Liu Ce, and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, if General Changsun thinks, General Zhang If you stay in the capital, then Dengzhou will lack a person to supervise the garrison, your Majesty, do you think you want to choose another person to fill this vacancy?"

Naturally, this vacancy did not need to be filled. The so-called supervision of border guards was just an excuse he and his eldest grandson said casually.

While talking, Yong Ning secretly observed Zhang Wei's expression, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Wei's annoyed face, but he didn't seem to want to change his mind.

"Is that so?" Liu Ce looked at his eldest grandson Boyi, "tell me, eldest grandson."

As soon as he heard Yong Ning say these words, Changsun Boyi guessed Yongning's intentions, glanced at Zhang Wei, and Changsun Boyi saw that Zhang Wei obviously had a hesitant expression, but he still refused to change his mind. .

Changsun Boyi's eyes also sank.

It stands to reason that if Zhang Wei really cared about military power so much, then he would not agree to his proposal. After all, although he named Zhang Wei a general, he did not say that Zhang Wei could lead troops, but Zhang Wei didn't seem to want to confirm this to him. A little bit of meaning, just now I agreed to it immediately, why?

Before Zhang Wei could speak, Eldest Sun Boyi could only raise his eyes to look at Yong Ning, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder if there is anyone in Shang Shuling's mind?"

"En..." Yong Ning pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "That's really not the case. The people who are still in Chang'an City who can be generals are still too young, and they have almost no experience in leading troops to fight. Let them lead It’s okay for the sixteen guards to wander around Chang’an City, but if they go to the border, they’ll be so scared that they’ll pee their pants.”

"That's right," Eldest Sun Boyi seemed a little disappointed, and lowered his eyes again, "In this case, the position in Dengzhou is temporarily vacant."

Zhang Wei didn't know how important this so-called supervisor was, but thinking that this was something the prince should do, he felt that it was probably very important, so when Changsun Boyi said that he should be empty, Zhang Wei immediately Nervous, both guilty and self-blame.

"Leave it empty...isn't it good? How about letting Yu Shi or Xi Hu go? They are both General Changsun's lieutenants and have been with General Changsun for a long time, so they must be able to do the job."

"No," Zhang Wei's voice had just finished, and grandson Boyi refused politely, "Yu Shi and Xi Hu lack courage and experience."

Zhang Wei closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Tao Wujing glanced at Zhang Wei, and cursed Zhang Wei inwardly that he knew why he was making such a fuss, but he still opened his mouth to smooth things over: "The Youyun area is not too far from Dengzhou. Until there is a suitable candidate, I will I'll help keep an eye on it."

Yong Ning immediately smiled and said, "With General Tao's words, I feel more at ease. Then work hard on General Tao first, and we will also pay attention to the generals in the army, and strive to find suitable people as soon as possible."

"Shang Shuling is being polite." Tao Wujing clasped his fists at Yongning.

A few more daily government affairs were discussed, and this embarrassing morning finally came to an end.

He stepped out of the Xuanzheng Hall with a gloomy face. It was rare that no one dared to chase him out to talk to Changsun Boyi today, but Changsun Boyi was stopped by the guards from Zilan Hall.

"General Changsun," the man first saluted Changsun Boyi, and then said, "General, Li Zheng... wants to see you."

"See me?" Changsun Boyi's expression became even colder immediately, "He said he wanted to see you, so you came to find me? Did I tell you not to listen to his nonsense?"

"I don't dare to disobey the general's order," the guard realized at this moment that Sun Boyi seemed to be in a bad mood, and secretly said that he was out of luck, "It's just that Li Zheng has been scolding the third prince for the past few days. I am afraid that if no one stops it, the people below will not be able to control their mouths, and if there are rumors that are unfavorable to that person...the humble post dare not make decisions without authorization, so I came to the general."

Now, who of them doesn't know the relationship between General Changsun and the third prince of the Li family?When Vice General Yu went to visit them in the camp, he also gave thousands of instructions, saying that he must not offend the third prince, and if he found anything that was not good for the third prince, he had better report it to the general immediately, otherwise he might be killed. Bad luck.

Vice General Yu has been with General Changsun for so many years, and he knows General Changsun very well. If Vice General Yu said that, then there is probably nothing wrong with it.

As soon as he heard that Li Zheng was scolding Li Shao, Changsun Boyi frowned, thought for a moment, and followed the guard to the Purple Orchid Hall.

When grandson Boyi arrived, Li Zheng had just been beaten for a round and had fallen into a coma.

Changsun Boyi looked coldly at Li Zheng, who was covered in blood, and said coldly, "Wake up."

"Yes!" Immediately, someone scooped up a bucket of water from the pool in the secret room and poured it vigorously on Li Zheng.

Drenched from head to toe, Li Zheng trembled from the cold water, and slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling that there was one more person in his line of sight, Li Zheng raised his head with difficulty, and when he raised his head, he saw the grandson Boyi standing straight in front of him.

Li Zheng grinned and smiled: "I'm just talking, did they really call you here? You're so obedient."

"You all step back," said Changsun Boyi in a deep voice when Li Zheng was the only one left in the secret room, "Why don't you make yourself feel better now? It's too much trouble, and you are the one who suffers."

"Oh! Make yourself feel better?" Li Zheng sneered, "I have never had a better time, since I was a child, I have been... If you don't make me feel better, why should I make you feel better?"

"It's a foregone conclusion, what else can you do?" Changsun Boyi looked coldly at Li Zheng who had no good spot on his body, but even though Li Zheng had been injured like this, Changsun Boyi still felt puzzled looking at him.

Li Zheng stared at his grandson Boyi, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Have you slept with Li Shao?"

Changsun Boyi's face immediately sank: "This is none of your business."

"It's none of my business? No, no, no, you're wrong," Li Zheng said proudly, "I have to ask, how do you think I trained him? No matter how bastard I am, I won't treat myself Kiss my brother to do it, but I have hired someone to teach him, how does it feel?"

"Li Zheng!" Changsun Boyi yelled loudly, rushed in front of Li Zheng, grabbed Li Zheng's neck with red eyes, "You are courting death!"

"Ha...haha...ha..." Because his throat was choked, Li Zheng's laughter was extremely broken, "Ten years...do you know how many men he has had? I, I can't even remember Now... Do you think he slept with those people around him? I, I think they have slept, otherwise why are those people so devoted to Li Shao? You didn’t, never touched before you left Chang’an Him? What a pity..."

"Li Zheng!" Eldest Sun Boyi tightened his grip, making Li Zheng speechless, but Li Zheng still had a smug smile on his face.

Changsun Boyi suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately let go of Li Zheng, who seemed to be about to die. When Li Zheng recovered his breath, Changsun Boyi said in a cold voice: "Don't try to provoke me, I won't let you die. Yes, but you know that every method you mentioned will become my means of torturing you, and I will repay you a hundredfold for everything you have done to Li Shao!"

Li Zheng was taken aback, as if he was a little scared, but he smiled again after a while: "So what? I can't live long in this ghostly place. I am tortured every day, and my body is getting worse. Even if I am a Daluo Immortal It can't save me, maybe a year, maybe two years, I will die soon.

But Li Shao will always be alive, you have already hired someone to recuperate his body, right?When he recovers to be as healthy as a normal person, he will live as long as a normal person, but he will not forget the pain I have inflicted on him and in his heart, and he will remember it as long as he lives.You haven't touched him yet, have you?Go and see if he will let you touch it?Haha, hahahaha! "

Feeling that Li Zheng's laughter was too harsh, Changsun Boyi raised his hand and neatly removed Li Zheng's chin, then turned around and strode out of the secret room.

Changsun Boyi didn't believe a word of Li Zheng's words, but the words that made people angry were printed in Changsun Boyi's mind, especially the one about Li Shao and the people around him.

He is the only one in Li Shao's heart, which he knows very well, but who knows if Li Shao is in other people's hearts?

When the grandson Boyi returned to Tiance Admiral's Mansion, Li Shao had just finished taking a medicinal bath and was sitting on the porch in front of the main house by a brazier basking in the sun, while Liu Zi was lying comfortably on Li Shao's lap, smiling brightly He said something to Li Shao.

Changsun Boyi's footsteps stopped suddenly, and this scene that should have been used to it now became dazzling.

Are Liuzi and Li Shao too close?Wu Ninghe doesn't care?

Liu Zi was the first to notice Changsun Boyi, keenly seeing Changsun Boyi's displeasure, and Liu jumped up: "Shao, your man is back."

Patting Li Shao on the shoulder, Liu Zi left knowingly, and ran to find Wu Ning to reconcile.

Only then did Li Shao look at the elder Sun Boyi who was still standing at the gate of the yard. Seeing that the elder Sun Boyi looked anxious, he thought he was upset because of Zhang Wei's matter.

Standing up and walking in front of eldest grandson Boyi, Li Shao asked softly with a smile: "Why are you so unhappy? Did Zhang Wei promise to be only a military officer?"

The eldest grandson Boyi didn't answer, but just looked down at Li Shao, his eyes were so deep that people couldn't figure it out.

If possible, he really wanted to hide Li Shao where no one could see, but he couldn't treat Li Shao that way.

Changsun Boyi just stared at Li Shao for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, gently caressed Li Shao's cheek, and stroked it gently.

"Bo Yi?" Li Shao raised his eyebrows lightly, unable to understand the expression of eldest grandson Boyi at this time.

This doesn't seem to be bothering about Zhang Wei's matter... Could it be that something else happened?

"Bo Yi, what's the matter?" Li Shao raised his hand and put it on the elder grandson Boyi's hand, "Did something happen?"

"You..." Changsun Boyi finally spoke, but his voice stopped abruptly after only one word.

"En? What's the matter?" Li Shao looked at the elder Sun Boyi, smiled softly, and waited patiently.

"It's nothing," Eldest Sun Boyi took Li Shao's hand and led him to the main house, "You just want to be happy."

Hearing this, Li Shao frowned.

As long as he is happy?This is nonsensical, why did Boyi say such a sentence suddenly?He didn't do anything that would make him happy but trouble Boyi, right?

After lunch, Li Shao went back to the west room to rest, and eldest grandson Boyi went to the east wing to deal with some trivial matters. After a while, the servants of General Tiance's mansion reported to eldest grandson Boyi that Yong Ning had come.

Inviting Yong Ning into the East Wing Room, the eldest Sun Boyi's face was still ashen, which surprised Yong Ning who stepped into the door.

"Why do you still look like this? Are you still unhappy about Zhang Wei's affairs? Don't worry Li Shao too much."

"It's okay." Changsun Boyi lowered his eyes, "Sit down, what can I do for you?"

Yong Ning sat down unceremoniously, and said casually: "I didn't come to see you, but seeing you staying in the east wing, then Li Shao must be taking a lunch break, right? I won't bother him."

"Looking for Li Shao?" Eldest Sun Boyi raised his eyes and glanced at Yong Ning, "Why are you looking for him?"

Yong Ning is not at home with his wife and daughter, why does he always come to see Li Shao?

Yong Ning smiled and said: "Look at the one who made you nervous, what can I do with him? Of course I want to ask about Zhang Wei. I think Zhang Wei's words and deeds are a bit abnormal, maybe he was bewitched by someone. I came here just to ask Li Shao. I remember he doesn't have the habit of taking a lunch break."

"Changed." Changsun Boyi said coldly.

"Ah... oh... yeah." Yong Ning touched his nose in embarrassment.

It seems that he didn't come at the right time today, it should be later, maybe later, Li Shao will be able to coax the eldest grandson.But he didn't expect his eldest grandson to be angry for so long.

Seeing that Yongning had no intention of leaving, Changsun Boyi asked coldly: "You want to wait for him to wake up?"

"Uh..." Seeing the eldest grandson Boyi's face, Yong Ning really didn't know how to answer, "Is it inconvenient? How about I go find the Seventh Prince to pass the time?"

The eldest grandson Boyi glanced at Yongning sideways, turned his head and said to Yu Shi: "Go and see if the young master is asleep."

In the past few days, the new medicine that Wu Ning and gave to Li Shao has some side effects. After drinking the medicine at noon, Li Shao will feel sleepy. Even if you fall, you may not be able to fall asleep immediately.

"Yes." Yu Shi replied in a low voice, and then ran away quickly with his waist bent.

I don't know what happened to the general today. When he came out of the Xuanzheng Palace, his complexion was already ugly. After going around somewhere, his complexion became even uglier. He didn't even get better when he saw the young master after returning home. , so that he could only cautiously follow the general.

After a while, Yu Shi came back from the main house: "General Qi, the young master is still awake, and he said that he wants to see Mr. Yong."

Hearing this, Changsun Boyi gave Yong Ning another cold look, as if extremely dissatisfied: "Go."

"Thank you." Chong Chang Sun Boyi cupped his hands, and Yongning left the east wing in a daze.

Looking at the eyes of the eldest grandson just now, it is clear that he is dissatisfied with him, but he didn't do anything that would make the eldest grandson dissatisfied... What kind of medicine did this guy take today?

After Yong Ning left, eldest grandson Boyi became a little irritable, holding official documents in his hands, but his eyes always drifted to the door and windows.

"Yu Shi, open the window."

"Yes." Yu Shi immediately pushed open a window.

"...the one next to it."

"Ah?" Yu Shi looked puzzled at the two side-by-side windows in front of him. Although he didn't know the difference between them, he still opened the next window according to Zhang Sun Boyi's order.

After the window was opened, the elder Sun Boyi who was sitting behind the desk could just catch a glimpse of the hall of the main house, while Li Shao and Yong Ning were sitting in the hall of the main house drinking tea and chatting.
