Cited too often

Xie Xun, Sheng Chongguang's official language, was not often spoken. He disdained it when he was young, but later he knew that Li Jue didn't like to listen to him, and he refused to work hard with his lips and tongue.But now when Li Ju asked, Xie Xun didn't know how to reply.

Then Li Jue's expression darkened, but then he let go of Xie Xun's hand that had been holding Xie Xun. Seeing that Xie Xun took two steps back and stood still, he said softly: "I am going to the town, seeing how difficult people's livelihood is in peacetime." When the war broke out, the bones of the dead were exposed and the flesh and bones were scattered, so I remembered that the saint was far away in Chang'an, so he probably couldn't see it in person."

He bowed to Li Jue, and calmed down his expression, looking at him, he could be regarded as Yin Yin: "Master Xuan used to say that his ministers were narrow, and fortunately, he was able to return from the west of Zhejiang under the emperor's edict, but he saw the emperor's nine-fold, and he stayed in the middle. , deeply regretful."

These words taught Li Ju to listen very closely, and he knew that this was an old story of Guochao, so he subconsciously asked, "Has Mr. Xiang made a vow?"

Xie Xun nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "First, I wish that the king's way is like Yao, and secondly, I wish that the way of the king is not alone."

Li Jun couldn't help being moved, and stepped forward to hold his hand again, but he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, and said: "I chose a new house for Xie Xiang, and it has been built recently. It is not as close as it used to be, but it is even closer. Spacious and magnificent. The three thousand horses that Xianggong sent to Nanya when he left Chang'an, I ordered them to feed them well, have now been sent to the horse farm near your residence, Xianggong simply pick the nearest auspicious day and move in."

Xie Xun said calmly, "Thank you Saint."

This kind of tone fell into Li Ju's ears, it was really against his will, but because there were other people in the hall, he didn't want it to happen to him, but he couldn't help becoming more irritable, let go of Xie Xun's hand and went to the throne.

Xie Bi on the side suddenly smiled and said: "Everyone was late in approving the melodies yesterday, why did you forget the important thing today. Don't you have something to ask Mr. Xie?"

What he said was a bit abrupt, and Li Jue was also taken aback, but seeing Xun Bi pointing to the sapphire paperweight on the case, he suddenly realized that he really wanted to ask Xie Xun something.

On the table, Li Jue took out a letter written by an Imperial scholar, and waved to Xie Xun: "Xie Lang, come and have a look at this, what do you think?"

It was a letter to reward Fan Yang Gao Qiao, and the words in praise of Gao Qiao were too complicated to repeat, and there was only one important meaning in it: Gao Qiao should be appointed as an official in the central government.

Seeing this, Xie Xun couldn't help but shudder, feeling that now he really can't tell whether Li Ju likes or dislikes.In other words, he never saw Li Ju's thoughts.

Since he entered Beijing, he has heard a general idea of ​​what Li Jue did when he left Beijing. It originated in the South China Sea and flew over the North Sea. It doesn’t stop without phoenix trees. It doesn’t eat unless it’s practiced. It doesn’t drink without Liquan. West Zhejiang is a rich and prosperous land. Church, teach him not to be like this when he comes.

But Xie Xun didn't believe a word.

If Li Jue is really like this, let's not say that Feng Zhaofu, who has been passive, even Yang Gongshan, who has been treated coldly, cannot tolerate him being so willful.Since both Feng Zhaofu and Yang Gongshan silently accepted Li Ju's action, there must be a deeper level of interest.Xie Xun thought for a long time, read the imperial edict again, and suddenly understood Li Ju's intention after a long time.

Li Jue has been afraid of border affairs, foreign relatives, and feudal towns since he practiced Zuo. Now that the border affairs are at an early level, and feudal towns bow their heads, shouldn't it be the turn of foreign relatives? But he is suspicious and cautious by nature, and he will definitely take Heshuo into consideration, and will not take it easy He fell out with Feng Zhaofu, the head of his foreign relatives, and taught Xiang Wang Li Ce to watch jokes for nothing.

No matter how much Li Ce shows his favor, it won't work.

Li Jue was willing to get close to Yang Gongshan and Ying Wang who was far away in Luoyang because of Li Ce's bowing posture, but he never wanted to attack Feng Zhaofu suddenly because of this. Know how you got here.

Therefore, Li Jue's edict was not necessarily a sincere reward for Gao Qiao, it was just for He Shuo's attitude.But Xie Xun still doesn't know what kind of attitude is needed to satisfy him.

Seeing Xie Xun's silence for a long time, Li Jue repeated with a smile: "What do you think of Xie Lang?"

Xie Xun enshrined the edict on the imperial case, weighed the profit and loss, and finally said: "It is good for a saint to award General Gao Qiao Gao, but I heard that the Princess of Liang Kingdom thinks highly of General Gao, so I do not know how to marry her rashly. What should the eldest princess say?"

"Aqi is not a person who doesn't understand things." Li Jue said indifferently, "But Xie Lang's words are reasonable. I plan to teach Cui Xianggong to go to Fan Yang to deliver the decree. If Aqi is not willing, is it possible that Gao Qiao is also unwilling? Since ancient times I’ve never heard of it since.”

When Xie Xun came out of the Zichen Palace, his eyes were sore from the sun, he raised his hand to cover them, and Su Yan, who sent him out, smiled and said: "Xie Xianggong has bad eyesight, don't stand under the arch. .”

Xie Xun smiled lightly: "Not afraid."

Then he went down to Zhongshumen.

Feng Yan had been ill recently, and when Li Ju came to see her, he was afraid that his grandson would be overwhelmed by the illness, so he taught Song Qingyi to carry Li Fang out personally, and when he couldn't see her, he coughed softly on the bed behind the curtain, Said softly: "I have something to ask everyone——Ah Yao, you love Guanyin Nu so much, have you ever thought about choosing another mother with a good background and temperament for him?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a clear silence in the hall.After a while, Li Ju replied with a smile: "Guanyin Nu still doesn't recognize anyone at the moment, and he is not in a hurry."

"The crown prince has no mother, how absurd. The queen leads the people of the six palaces and is the mother of the world. Therefore, empress Mingyi's deep affection with everyone is a blessing to my great Chu. Empress Yi may not feel at ease in Youdu." Feng Yan said gently, as if he had made up his mind a long time ago, "Since Ah Yao wants to make Erlang the crown prince, there is no need to rush this matter."

"Of course my mother knows the temperament of the old empress, so why would she say such words to hurt my heart?" Li Jue smiled coldly, remembering Xie Yi's words and deeds when he left, and there was a lot of disgust in his words, "She If it is true as my mother said, I will not refuse to see me until I die. I don’t want to be the person who doesn’t ask people about ghosts and gods, but sometimes I can’t bear to ask about ghosts and gods Mrs. Xie was able to recite Sui Di Liu to me when she was still alive, how could she care about my vacant successor to my mother after she passed away?"

Feng Yan's expression finally changed when he heard Sui Tiliu curling his fingers slightly.

However, Li Jue did not stop here, and his tone was a bit more ironic: "On the public, I am the king, and she is the minister; on the private, I am the husband, and she is the wife. Besides, according to what my mother said just now. It is said that the empress is the mother of the world, so I am naturally the father of the world. If the subjects come to take care of my private affairs, how can there be such a reason in this world? I said it to my mother before, why don't I say it again now? Let it go——The son said that in the matter of a gentleman, advance and think loyally, retreat and make amends for mistakes, follow the beauty and save the evil, so the upper and lower can have a blind date. Let it be the beauty, it is hard to say that if I don’t establish a new queen for a day, then I will Are you doing evil? Hmph, I don’t want them to save me!”

Li Jue is not used to having meals in Nannei, so he only said this to Feng Yan and went back to Dongnei.He carried Li Fang up to the Changping chariot he had come in, and told the yellow door that carried the chariot to be more stable.

At that time, Li Fang could already speak a few simple syllables. After being held in Li Ju's arms, he smiled and stretched out his hand to grab the corner of his clothes. The baby's laughter spread far in the night.Li Jun wrapped the fur on Li Fang's body, and sang the nursery rhyme that Empress Dugu had sung to him, which was already blurred in his memory.And his edict was finally sent to Fan Yang at the end of February.

Li Ce treated Cui Chengzu, who came to deliver the decree, with courtesy, and told him that Gao Qiao, who had been rewarded, was training at the Dajiao Field.

Li Qi, who was drinking tea at the side, smiled slightly when he heard this: "It's not good for Mr. Cui to wait here, so I'll take you to find General Gao."

【Second Twenty Two】Wang Sun Be Careful

At the end of spring, Fan Yang had a few light rains one after another. When Cui Chengzu went out with Li Qi, he could still see the sunny rainbow in the blue sky, turning round and round, and colorful with the wind.This is really a rare scene, because Fan Yang is adjacent to Yanyun, so almost all four lands can hear the empty and endless wind.

Li Qi is used to riding a horse, and Cui Chengzu is not good at riding a carriage.Some soldiers brought the horses to the side. Cui Chengzu was already old, and recently he was in the center more often. He didn’t even play polo very often, so he took some effort to get on the horse. Li Qi in front looked back and smiled: "Mr. Cui, This horse is docile, but you have to be careful." As he said that, he let the horse lead the way, probably because Cui Chengzu was getting older and his speed was not very fast.

When he was in Chang'an, Cui Chengzu had seen Li Qi's actions, so he was even more worried when he arrived in Fan Yang.Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Fanyang, Li Qi was very modest and polite at first, which was very different from what he had seen and heard before, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He heard of the wars caused by natural disasters in the four towns of Anxi last year, the mountains were in dispute, the souls of tens of thousands of soldiers returned to the secluded capital, and the princess of the dynasty died in the city. Seeing it personally is also unbearable to hear.

But his regrets don’t stop there: Li Qian from the Great Chu Dynasty to Emperor Zhaozong’s generation has not had many children, and sisters are especially rare. Up to now, there is only one daughter under Li Jue’s knees. There were still several eldest princesses in the clan. Princess Huichang died early, and her younger sister, Princess Duanning, married Nanzhao. , Li Jue's cousin, Princess Yong'an, married Tubo, and died in the war a few years ago.Counting down, there is no one alive today as the eldest princess, and in the generation of the eldest princess, there is only Li Qi, the eldest princess of Chang'an.

How can it really be beautiful,
