hand, said angrily: "Being with you, I'm afraid I will insult my reputation." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

"Yuwen Shaoqing..."

Li Jiancheng watched his back disappear, and then returned to sit cross-legged in front of the food table, his face full of sarcasm.

"Da Lang," Changsun Wuji said, "do you think he will really go to the master to read a book for you?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head, "He wants me to be addicted to hunting all day long and not to worry about Luoyang affairs. If he really goes to join me, the Lord will first tell me to pay attention to my conduct. If I change my past by then, he Yu Wenhua and I have to work hard again, and his Yuwen family will not do things that are at a disadvantage."

Liu Zhenghui also agreed with Li Jiancheng's words, saying: "Tomorrow I will send someone to contact Xiao Yu and ask him to rescue the county magistrate as soon as possible."

Li Jiancheng sat with the two of them for a while, when a maid came to call, saying that the wife wanted to see him, and that if the wife wanted to see him tonight, she must have known about what happened in Luoyang.

He followed the servant girl to the wife's bedroom. The wife had been ill for many years, and in his impression, there was not much time left to accompany Mrs. Dou like this.In the past ten years, big and small things have changed, but people's birth, old age, sickness and death cannot be changed. He can only watch his beloved mother leave, feeling depressed in his chest.

Madam Dou leaned on the hidden pouch, seeing him coming, she took his hand and let him sit beside her.Although she is over 40 years old, her temples are still dark. She asked Jiancheng, "I just heard that Yuhuaji has been here, but what happened to your father in Luoyang?"

Li Jiancheng lowered his head, his long eyelashes covered his pupils, he really didn't want his wife to worry about other things when she was seriously ill.

Mrs. Dou knew what he was thinking, and sighed softly: "Although I am a girl, I followed Emperor Wu of Zhou in the early years and grew up in the palace. After all, I have seen some things in the world, and I have a little understanding of the affairs in the court. What do you say and I hear, maybe I can come up with some ideas."

Speaking of which, his mother was a strange woman.It is said that when she was born, her hair was longer than her neck, and by the time she was two or three years old, her hair had grown longer than her body.In the early years, she followed Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Zhou had a feud with the empress and secretly alienated him. She persuaded Emperor Wu: "The surroundings are quiet, and the Turks are still strong. I hope that my uncle will restrain his feelings and comfort the common people. The south of the Yangtze River and the east of the Guandong cannot be a problem." Emperor Wu readily accepted, and she was only six or seven years old at that time.

Later, when she reached the age of marriage, because of her intelligence, resoluteness, and beautiful appearance, the matchmaker who proposed marriage almost broke through the threshold.Later, my grandfather set up a peacock screen outside the door, saying that whoever can hit the eyes of two peacocks on the screen at the same time with one arrow will marry his daughter to him, and no one can.Then his father Li Yuan shot two peacocks in the eyes with one bow and two arrows at the same time, and he just married her back.

Mrs. Dou looked at him gently, Li Jiancheng sighed and told her all about it.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Although Xiao Gong is an important minister in the court, but the two previous expeditions to Goryeo by the lord, he wrote a letter admonishing and angered the lord, and now the lord is estranged from him. Most people in the court Standing on the side of Yuwen and his son, the rest of the people are wise and safe, and they probably don't want to get into your father's muddy water, and with Xiao Gong's own strength, I'm afraid they won't be able to rescue your father."

"Jiangcheng knows it's difficult, but there is no one in the court who has ever believed in it."

"Officials need to be managed, and Yuwen and his son love money more than life. If you have enough silver with them, they probably won't embarrass your father. After all, the Lord didn't want to punish him, but to punish him. It's just Our Li family is not well-off, son, you have to wipe your face and ask your father to borrow it from someone you have always been friends with."

Mrs. Dou is so thoughtful, Li Jiancheng feels ashamed. "Mother, don't worry, after the matter is settled, the son will be handed over to a trustworthy person to take him to Luoyang and handed over to Xiao Gong."

"No," Madam Dou denied, "You go there yourself."

Li Jiancheng was startled, and then understood what Mrs. Dou meant.

It was already late at night when he came out of Mrs. Dou's room. He stood on the corridor with his hands behind his back. The bright moon slowly floated out from behind the clouds. The cold moonlight shone on him. He looked up at the moon, his eyes were as deep as the deep sea.

The author has something to say: Li Er, where are you, your eldest brother was eaten tofu! !Li Er, come back soon~~

Another: please leave a message, please press the paw

mixed hall

Because Li Jiancheng wanted to go to Luoyang in person, so there was no one in charge in the mansion, so he specially wrote a letter to call Xiuning back, and it was delayed for three or four days. The number that could impress Yu Huaji put the silver in four large boxes and stacked them on the carriage.

Madam Dou was very happy to see Xiuning, and her complexion improved a lot.Li Jiancheng was relieved a little, and took his eldest grandson Wuji to Luoyang.

They pretended to be merchants and went forward very smoothly. They traveled all night and arrived in Luoyang, the eastern capital, in three days.After arriving in Luoyang, I looked for an inn to rest for a while, changed into clean clothes after bathing, and then went to Cao Yu's mansion to meet Cao Yu.

After Li Jiancheng reported his name to the servant guarding the gate, the servant rushed in to report, and after a while, Xiao Yu came out to greet him in person.Xiao Yu has a good friendship with Li Yuan, and has met Li Jiancheng a few times, seeing him standing under the long steps, with a dusty face on his face, he knew what he was talking about rushing to Luoyang in a hurry.

Li Jiancheng saluted respectfully, "Chengcheng has met Xiao Gong."

Xiao Yu supported him and said: "Your Majesty, don't be too polite, please come in and drink a glass of thin wine."

He followed Xiao Yu into the mansion, and saw the simple layout of the mansion along the way, and he had heard that Xiao Yu was a clean and upright official, at this time it seemed true, and he felt a little more respect in his heart.Up to the study room, the two sat down on the couch facing each other.

Li Jiancheng said bluntly: "Mr. Xiao should know Jiancheng's intentions, so he said it directly. Jiancheng came to Luoyang this time because of his father's imprisonment. Please help me with this matter."

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and sighed softly: "On the second day when Duke Tang was detained, I went to find all the ministers and servants, and wanted to unite everyone to write a letter to ask the Lord to pardon Duke Tang's crimes, but no one was willing to help. Your lord is preparing to conquer Goryeo three times, but because I opposed it twice, now he hates me so much that he doesn’t want to see me. Hey, this old man is incompetent.”

"Don't worry, Duke Xiao. Jian Jiancheng came to Luoyang this time and brought some silver taels. If Duke Xiao can arrange one or two things when talking with the ministers and servants, things will be much easier." After hearing what he said, Xiao Yu's expression turned pale. Turning blue, Li Jiancheng noticed it, and said again: "I know Mr. Xiao has always been ashamed to do such bribery, but things like like flock together, and those who colluded with Yuwen and his son are greedy people. It's not that they don't want to help each other. , it's just not good..."

When Li Jiancheng said this, Xiao Yu also understood what he meant, sighed softly again, and said, "It has to be like this."

Not to mention that Li Yuan and him have been friends for many years, Li Yuan's integrity is rare in the court alone, so he should do everything possible to rescue him.

"Thank you Mr. Xiao, after the completion, people will send the silver to the mansion."

On the second day, in the hotel——

Li Shimin was playing Go against Li Yuanji, he was very interested today, he played many games with Li Yuanji, won several games in a row, still ignored Yuan Ji's request to rest, and forced him to sit down in front of him.

With a white chess piece between his index finger and middle finger, he landed on the chessboard and said with a smile, "You lost."

The young man's radiance showed Li Yuanji's downcast even more.Li Yuanji looked down and lost a piece.He put away the chess pieces one by one, yawned, and said, "Second Brother, Yuan Ji is really struggling, let Yuan Ji rest for a while."

Li Shimin's interest was disturbed, he pushed the chessboard angrily, and said: "Okay, you rest."

Li Yuanji didn't mean to be angry with him, it's just that he didn't sleep well last night, and he was really lacking energy this morning. Now that he saw Shimin angry, he thought he was bored in the hotel, so he asked him, "Second brother, It has been several days since Wuji sent the letter back, why is there still no movement?"

Li Shimin fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand, and replied angrily: "It's a bit difficult to do, but Big Brother will definitely try to rescue us, just wait patiently."

He said so, but looked impulsive.

"How do you know that I will try my best to save you?"

Hearing a familiar voice suddenly, Li Shimin couldn't help being startled, looked up and saw Li Jiancheng standing at the door, looking at him with a smile, he couldn't believe what he saw.

"Big brother?"

"But I haven't seen you for a few days, and you don't even recognize your eldest brother?"

Li Jiancheng was dressed in coarse and short brown at the moment, dressed as a servant, he must have used this clothes to sneak into the hall.Li Shimin swept away the depression just now, and almost cheered. He stepped forward and hugged Li Jiancheng, making sure that he was not dreaming, and said happily, "It's really big brother who came to see us."

Li Jiancheng patted his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao went to see his father in prison. Father told Mr. Cao to pass a message to me. He said he was worried about you. Let me take a look." His eyes passed Li Shimin and fell on Li Yuanji. , asked: "Yuanji, your complexion is not very good, are you sick?"

Li Yuanji was also very happy to see Li Jiancheng, but Li Shimin had already taken the first step, so he could only stand with his hands down, watching Li Shimin act like a baby to him enviously.Although he is younger than Shimin, he has a steady personality, even if he is given a chance, he will definitely not act like a baby with his elder brother.

He suppressed his tired face and smiled slightly, and replied: "It's just that I didn't sleep well last night, it's okay."

Speaking of what happened last night, Li Shimin suddenly became excited, "Brother, do you know what Yuanji and I did last night?"

Seeing his excited appearance, Li Jiancheng couldn't help laughing, and asked following his words: "What's the matter?"

Li Shimin reported everything that happened yesterday.
