Daily life of captives

In the Xuanzheng Hall, the morning court was going on as usual, but just as it was about to end, Liu Ce, who had been dozing off on the dragon chair, spoke unexpectedly.

"Eldest grandson."

Hearing Liu Ce's voice suddenly, Changsun Boyi's heart tightened, and he turned to look at Liu Ce.

"What's your majesty's order?"

Liu Ce turned his gaze around the Xuanzheng Hall, and asked lazily, "Why haven't I seen Zhang Wei since I ascended the throne? Isn't he some kind of general? Why didn't he come to court?"

Sun Boyi's eyes flashed, and he replied calmly: "Your Majesty, as one of the founding heroes of the country, General Zhang should have participated in the government, but General Zhang is old and has old wounds that have not healed, so he needs to rest quietly. , so I will not lead the court affairs for the time being, if there is no major discussion, General Zhang may not have to go to the court every day, and we will discuss it after General Zhang is in better health."

"That's true," Liu Ce nodded. "During the war, you guys were always wounded. If possible, you should rest in peace. It's just that they are all resting, and it's making you tired, grandson."

The eldest grandson Boyi lowered his head halfway, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please take care, I am younger than the generals, and I can withstand more hardships, so I should share more."

"Well, it's really hard work for you." After a moment of silence, Liu Ce said again, "Call Zhang Wei into the palace."

Hearing this, Changsun Boyi exchanged glances with Xie Jun and Yongning: "Your Majesty, do you have something to do with General Zhang?"

"It's okay," Liu Ce shook his head, and said again, "He has nothing to do, and I have nothing to do, so we can get together and find something to do."

Grandson Boyi frowned slightly: "If Your Majesty finds it boring, I can..."

"Hey," Liu Ce interrupted eldest grandson Boyi, "elder grandson, you are busy on weekdays, so I don't need to bother my elder grandson with this matter, and Zhang Wei can't just take his salary and do nothing, can he? The left and right are just to accompany me to pass the time." Time, neither tired nor hurt him, just call him."

"Your servant...obey the order," Liu Ce said, and Sun Boyi couldn't refuse, so he had to agree, "The ministers of the next court will send someone to invite General Zhang into the palace, and ask His Majesty to wait in the Zichen Palace."

"Okay." Liu Ce stood up and shook his clothes, "You are all fine, right? Then retreat."

After saying this, Liu Ce left without hesitation.

Yue Feng hastily added the sentence "Back to the court", and then he quickly caught up with Liu Ce.

Walking out of the Xuanzheng Hall, Changsun Boyi frowned.

Why did Liu Ce suddenly want to see Zhang Wei?He would never believe the excuse of having nothing to do, and they didn't have enough to restrain Liu Ce. If Liu Ce is really boring, there are countless concubines in the harem now, as well as the stadium, cockfighting building, Zouma building, Neijiaofang and Liyuan In order not to make Liu Ce feel bored, they opened up all the entertainment places built by the Li family in the harem, and they can go to the Forbidden Garden after leaving the harem. Even if Liu Ce wanted to visit Chang'an, no one stopped him. If there is nothing to do, what does Liu Ce want to do with Zhang Wei?

Liu Ce has always been very quiet, why did he suddenly make a move?

Xie Jun was also worried, and after leaving the Xuanzheng Hall, he caught up with the eldest Sun Boyi.

"Eldest grandson, what do you think?" Xie Jun smiled and greeted his colleagues passing by, but when he asked eldest grandson Boyi, his tone was extremely serious.

"Don't think about it," Yong Ning walked on the other side of Changsun Boyi, and chuckled, "Wei Ning, the Zuo Adviser doctor, is the one who has been hiding behind Zhang Wei."

"Wei Ning?" Changsun Boyi and Xie Jun were quite surprised, "How did you find out?"

Yong Ning smiled lightly and said, "Young Master's eyeliner is all over Chang'an, but this Wei Ning is very cautious. He will disguise himself when he visits on weekdays. Sometimes he is a vegetable farmer, sometimes he is a servant, so it is not easy to be discovered. When he wants to see Liu Ce, he also bribes A Jieyu from the harem appeared when Liu Ce was about to have sex, that scene should be quite interesting."

Changsun Boyi glanced at Yongning impatiently: "Let's get to the point."

Yongning shrugged his shoulders, and still said unhurriedly: "Unfortunately, that Jieyu was originally a court lady in the palace, and she was the eyeliner arranged by the young master in the palace. he."

If it was someone else, they would have caught him long ago, but it happened to be Wei Ning.

Speaking of Wei Ning, Changsun and Xie Jun probably know better than him. Back then, he accompanied Li Shao as a companion, and Changsun and Xie Jun were studying at the Imperial College. Wei Ning was their classmate at the time, and he was also in the Imperial College. However, when his eldest grandson fell into trouble and Li Shao was trapped, Xie Jun followed his eldest grandson to leave Chang'an, and he ran around for Li Shao, so he didn't care about other people. The classmates or friends back then were no longer important. .

In terms of intelligence, Wei Ning is considered outstanding, that's why he was selected by him as the Zuo Jianyi doctor to enter the school, but no matter how smart Wei Ning is, he can't compare with Li Shao, let alone him, Li Shao, Xie Jun and Changsun Bo. The four of Yi are in the same heart, and with Li Shao's arrangement for so many years, it is very simple to catch a person, but I heard that Wei Ning once traveled around to study when Li Zheng was in office, and I don't know who he learned the superb disguise technique from. It was only then that they repeatedly evaded their eyeliner. They were really arrogant for a while, and now they have caught them. .

"Wei Ning..." Xie Jun frowned and pondered, "We didn't have any enmity with Wei Ning, did we? Although we weren't friends back then, we didn't have an enmity either? What is he trying to do?"

The eldest grandson Boyi asked Yongning, "Do you know, my lord?"

Yong Ning nodded: "After I received the news, I immediately passed the news to the young master, but the young master did not respond. Remember to ask, grandson, after you return to the mansion, to see what the young master has planned."

"Okay." Changsun Boyi nodded, then jumped on his horse in front of the Xuanzheng Gate, and rode back to the house.

As a result, when Changsun Boyi returned to Tiance Admiral's Mansion, Li Shao went out again. When he heard the news, Changsun Boyi couldn't help turning black.

Since a few days ago when he went to Xiangyun Tea House to accept Yan Xin, Li Shao went out every day, always with Yan Xin, but without Xi Hu. Does he like that kid so much?

Hearing Xi Hu say that Li Shao went to Dongshi again, Changsun Boyi immediately left Admiral Tiance's Mansion and rode to Dongshi, but halfway there, Changsun Boyi suddenly glanced in the direction of Qujiang, After thinking about it carefully, Changsun Boyi changed direction and went straight to Qujiang.

The season from spring to summer is not only suitable for viewing flowers, but also suitable for lake tours. Qujiang, where you can enjoy both flowers and lakes, is the most popular place in Chang’an City in this season. Those who can afford to rent a boat will rent a boat A painted boat floats on the river, drinking and thinking alone, or inviting friends to chat and drink together, and some mavericks tie a bamboo raft to swim on the river. The bamboo raft fell into the river.

Li Shao, who was not short of money, naturally would not let himself fall into the crisis of falling into the river at any time, so he rented a painting boat and floated comfortably on the river.

Sitting opposite Li Shao, Yan Xin was still a little cautious.

He is not a timid person, and he seldom restrains himself because he is worried about others, but for some reason, he always dare not make any moves in front of this young master, for fear of accidentally making noise and disturbing his cleanliness.

But just sitting quietly in front of the young master and enjoying it is also a pleasure.Today the young master is wearing a light blue dark robe, with a misty brocade belt around his waist, and the stone blue cloak is still embroidered with gorgeous deer patterns.

Yan Xin looked at the deer pattern on the cloak, thinking to himself whether Li Shao especially liked the deer pattern, or there was some deep meaning in it.

Withdrawing his eyes from the river bank, Li Shao saw that Yan Xin's eyes were glued to his body.

"looking at what?"

"Oh," Yan Xin came back to his senses, "When I return to Young Master, my heart is just thinking that Young Master's cloak always seems to be embroidered with deer patterns."

Hearing this, Li Shao raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and glanced at his cloak: "It seems to be like this."

"My lord likes deer?" Yan Xin was curious.

"Not really," Li Shao smiled lightly, "It's just my mother's preference, and I've been used to it since I was a child. Every year when I make clothes, I always ask them to follow the previous style, and they will all look the same after doing it." .”

Yan Xin didn't say anything, he hadn't found out yet.

"I see," Yan Xin nodded, "Then what is the meaning of this deer? You can't just see it's cute and just like it so much, right?"

Amused by Yan Xin's words, Li Shaowen said softly: "In ancient times, there was a deer with a long life. It can live for more than a thousand years, and its temperament is gentle and kind. The first mother is a gentle and indifferent person, and most of her preferences are like this."

Up to now, it is still impossible to check whether the concubine mother also has the intention of letting him compete in the world.

"The Lingtang must also hope that the deer can bless the young master for a long life, otherwise why are they all embroidered on the cloak?"

Li Shao had never thought about it this way before. Hearing what Yan Xin said, he couldn't help being taken aback. He turned his head and looked at the vivid embroidery on the cloak, feeling warm in his heart.

"What does Ji Cheng like?"

"Me?" Yan Xin scratched her head with her folding fan, caught a glimpse of the sparkling river water out of the corner of her eye, and grinned, "I like water."

"Water?" Li Shao also turned his head to look at the river, "Why?"

Yan Xin said leisurely: "In summer, you can relieve the heat, in winter, you can warm up your body, you can save your life, or you can kill it."

At the end, Yan Xin's eyes became a little sharper.

Seeing Yan Xin like this, Li Shao smiled slightly: "That's true."

"Hey," Yan Xin turned around and smiled at Li Shao again, "Then what does the general like?"

"Bo Yi?" A certain animal flashed in his mind, and Li Shao couldn't help chuckling, "He likes chickens."

"Chicken?" Yan was puzzled.

General Tiance, what's the matter with liking chicken?

Li Shao added: "Roast chicken."

Yan Xin was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and started laughing.

Yan Xin and Li Shao were laughing when they suddenly heard the sound of a flute. Looking at the sound, they saw a small boat with a black awning followed by the side of the painting. At the prow stood a young man in blue, with a hand in his hand. A bamboo flute, when Li Shao turned his head to look over, the sound of the flute suddenly rose, and after a few turns, it faded away.

"I'm in Xia Dutian, and I met the young master."

Li Shao smiled lightly and nodded to Du Tian, ​​but didn't make a sound.

Yan Xin stretched her neck and looked at Du Tian, ​​her eyeballs rolled bony, but she didn't respond.

Unexpectedly, there was no response to this greeting. Du Tian hesitated, and then said loudly: "These days, I always see you, and I see you are handsome and extraordinary, so I want to get acquainted with you. I met you again today. May I have the honor to share with you son?"

Li Shao raised his eyebrows, looked at Du Tian and just smiled without saying a word.

Yan Xin felt that this was not right, so she got up and walked to the railing of the ship building, and asked Du Tian, ​​"Your accent doesn't sound like a local, where did you come from?"

Du Tian replied: "My ancestral home is in Luzhou, and now I live in Jingzhou with my father, doing a small business to make ends meet. Recently, I passed by Chang'an, just in time for Chang'an's beautiful spring, so I temporarily decided to stay for a few days. By chance, I met the young master many times. , this is God's will."

"He's from out of town? No wonder I don't recognize you, young master," Yan Xin muttered with disgust, and then said, "My young master doesn't like to be disturbed when he swims in the lake and meditates. It is really inconvenient to have the opportunity to talk to my young master today."

After saying this, Yan Xin wanted Wei Ze to turn the boat in one direction.

"Wait!" Du Tian hurriedly stopped Yan Xin, "Since the young master is meditating, I really shouldn't disturb you. I'll just play a piece of music here, and accompany you to meditate quietly. How about this, young master?"

"Why are you still entangled?" Yan Xin was speechless, "I'm really sorry, my son doesn't like listening to the flute."

Du Tian looked at the bamboo flute in his hand, with a depressed expression on his face: "Can you tell me your name, young master?"

Yan Xin bowed her hands to Du Tian, ​​and said loudly: "My servant, Yan Xin, Mr. Du, please walk slowly."

"You!" Du Tian glared at Yan Xin angrily, "I didn't ask you!"

Yan Xinpi laughed and said: "It's all the same, if you come to Chang'an again, if you can find me, you can find my young master."

Du Tian's face turned red.

Suddenly they heard the sound of splashing on the surface of the water, and the three of them followed the sound, and saw a person stepping on the water, jumping on the roof of the black-covered boat, kicking vigorously, turning around and jumping into the boat.

"Cover your face when you go out next time." Zhang Sun Boyi glared at Li Shao with a depressed face.

Only then did I wonder if Li Shao would attract bees and butterflies after wandering outside for so many days, and this fly entangled one, is it amazing that he can play the flute?

The eldest grandson Boyi landed on the painting boat steadily, but he kicked the poor boat with the black awning overturned, and the innocent boatman on the boat fell into the water together with Du Tian.

Yan Xin was stunned, and it wasn't until Du Tian jumped out of the water that Yan Xin turned around and gave Changsun Boyi a thumbs up: "The general is refreshing."

The general definitely kicked the little wreck over on purpose.

Looking at grandson Boyi again, Yan Xin asked Li Shao in a low voice: "Didn't we tell Xi Hu to go to Dongshi when we went out? The general just came down now, right? Why are you here?"

When I went out today, the young master lied about where he was going, probably because he wanted to tease the general.According to what the young master said, the general can only come down to the court at around noon every day, even if he goes out to look for people immediately without lunch, it will take at least half an hour to find someone in the East City, and it will take at least half an hour to send people around to search for the young master's traces. Half an hour, but now it's only half past noon, the general went straight to Qujiang after returning home?Why?

Without answering Yan Xin's question, Li Shao only looked at his eldest son Boyi and smiled softly: "How do you know I'm here?"

Sitting down next to Li Shao, the eldest grandson Boyi said casually, "There is a connection?"

Gazing at Changsun Boyi, Li Shao poured tea into his cup and handed it to Changsun Boyi.

The eldest grandson Boyi didn't even bother to stretch out his hand, and as soon as he poked his head, he drank the water from Li Shao's hand: "More."

Li Shao smiled, and poured another cup of tea for his grandson Boyi.

At some point, Yan Xin threw off her folding fan to block her eyes. She couldn't bear the elder Sun Boyi and Li Shao, so she leaned on the railing and looked at Du Tian, ​​who was lying on the black awning boat and floating with the boat.

"Young master, let him stay in the water?"

The water they were staying in was quite far from the river bank, and it would be a bit strenuous to swim back.

Changsun Boyi said coldly: "Let him soak, sober."

Yan Xin curled her lips and looked at Du Tian sympathetically.

Li Shao glanced sideways at his elder Sun Boyi, and then told Wei Ze and Wei Feng: "Wei Ze, Wei Feng, take him ashore with that boatman."

"Yes."

Wei Ze and Wei Feng took orders, jumped out of the boat one after another, landed firmly on the bottom of the black-covered boat in the upside-down water, picked up one and jumped towards the bank of the river, threw one of them on the bank, and the two of them broke down. Return to the boat.

There was no more excitement to watch, Yan Xin slightly removed her folding fan and wanted to take a peek at Li Shao and Changsun Boyi, but her eyes met the cold eyes of her superior Sun Boyi, Yan Xin shivered and quickly walked out of the boat upstairs, went to the deck and sat with Wei Ze and Wei Feng.

Changsun Boyi snorted softly, secretly thinking that Yan Xin still had good eyesight.

Li Shao shook his head and laughed: "Don't scare him all the time."

"I don't," Changsun Boyi denied, and then asked Li Shao, "You really like him, you take him with you everywhere."

Li Shao fell back into the arms of eldest grandson Boyi, and sighed, "I want to take you with me, but you are so busy, so I can only make do with Ji Cheng."

Hugging Li Shao tightly, Changsun Boyi changed his words and said: "It's good to have him with you, he seems to talk a lot."

Li Shao curled his lips and said, "I thought he talked too much, but he seemed a little afraid of me. Am I scary?"

"Let me have a look," eldest grandson Boyi raised Li Shao's face, and looked at it carefully for a while, "He is so good-looking, I don't know how many people are fascinated by this face, why is it so scary? That kid is probably just dumbfounded." .”

Casting an annoyed glance at Chang Sun Boyi, Li Shao avoided Chang Sun Boyi's hand: "I've been wandering outside for several days, but I hooked up with this one, and let you bump into it, alas..."

Changsun Boyi's eyes darkened: "What? It's a pity? Let Wei Feng bring him back to you?"

"Okay, just... ah!"

The eldest grandson Boyi only heard the word "good", he took off Li Shao's collar, and bit Li Shao's shoulder hard, leaving a circle of clear teeth marks.

With a cry of pain, Li Shao laughed.

After arguing for a while, the two of them quieted down at the same time. Li Shao leaned on his eldest grandson Boyi and looked at the river, and his elder grandson Boyi hugged Li Shao and looked at Li Shao.

"Yongning asked how you want to deal with Wei Ning."

"Did Yongning tell you?"

"En," Elder Sun Boyi touched Li Shao's hand and held it, "In the early court, Liu Ce suddenly wanted to see Zhang Wei."

Li Shao smiled and said, "Wei Ning shouldn't rush to find Liu Ce."

Although Liu Ce has no power or power, the emperor is the emperor. As long as he is still sitting on the dragon chair, he has the right to say what he says. If it's not something that will harm Hou Chu, who can easily refuse it?No one wants to bear the stigma of committing crimes and disloyal ministers.How could he not keep an eye on such a person?

There are many people in Chang'an City who are smarter than Liu Ce, but he arranges the most eyeliner around Liu Ce, not only in the Zichen Palace, but also in all the palaces in the harem. He would notice suspicious people who walked into General Huaihua's mansion, but he would know when anyone outside the palace stepped into any part of the harem.Compared with anyone else, he defended Liu Ce the tightest.

"What are your plans?"

After thinking for a while, Li Shao said: "The trick is to pull Liu Ce down."

"Have a plan?" Coincidentally, he thought so too.

He established a Liu policy because he didn't want to be emperor, but after he really came to power, he felt that it was uncomfortable to have someone pressing on top of his head to do things, even if it was a puppet, he had to save face Things are too troublesome.After Chu Chuli, he didn't have that energy.

Unexpectedly, Li Shao said very bluntly: "No, this is a matter of your court, what does it have to do with me?"

The eldest grandson Boyi suddenly looked helpless: "Isn't my business your business?"

Li Shao smiled and shook his head: "No, your personal affairs can still have something to do with me, but this country's major affairs have nothing to do with me, a commoner."

Changsun Boyi rolled his eyes and said, "The word civilian has nothing to do with you."

Whether it is the third prince of the Li family or the husband of General Tiance, neither is a commoner. If he replaces Liu Ce as emperor, the word commoner will have nothing to do with Li Shao.

Li Shao looked up at his eldest grandson Boyi, and said confidently: "I'm not married yet, so I'm just a commoner?"

The eldest grandson Boyi stared at Li Shao, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed Li Shao.

After the kiss was over, eldest grandson Boyi said triumphantly, "Whether you marry or not, you are mine."

"That's right," Li Shao turned around, put his arms around Changsun Boyi's neck, turned his head to look at Changsun Boyi, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Then... the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?"

The eldest grandson Boyi lowered his head and bit the tip of Li Shao's nose: "You haven't entered the harem yet."

Li Shao frowned, and after a while he smiled brightly at his elder Sun Boyi: "Anyway, I don't care."

The eldest grandson Boyi chuckled, and kissed Li Shao on the forehead: "Okay, you don't care."

Changsun Boyi knew that Li Shao just didn't want people to say that he relied on Li Shao to govern the world, and he had to rely on his own ability to gain the trust of the courtiers as soon as possible.

"When did you come out? Are you hungry?"

Li Shao nodded: "It's a little bit, let's go back."

"Okay, go home."
