Li Zhang

On New Year's Eve, there was a dinner in the military camp. Wu Zijun bought cattle and sheep out of his own pocket to reward the soldiers in the camp.Because Zhang Yu hadn't visited the house for a long time, and the child was almost two years old and hadn't seen his father yet, he was urged by Wu Zijun and Li Zhang to ask Su Qingyang for leave, and rushed back to the capital.

When Zhang Yu returned home, just after his birthday, the imperial guards came to announce the decree. Mu Yan personally picked him up outside the Zhengyang Gate and entered the palace. Very concerned, but never mentioned Li Zhang.

Zhang Yu was uneasy, and when he saw Sima Yi, he was scolded severely, his heart became more and more uncertain, and he couldn't help sweeping Jin Bai who was sitting on the side with his eyes.Jin Bai sipped his tea, but ignored the expressions of everyone in the room.

After Sima Yi finished cursing, he looked at Zhang Yu's prostration with satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked about Li Zhang's recent situation, especially about the battle in Shanqian Village.Zhang Yu naturally didn't dare to hide anything in front of Sima Yi, and after a detailed description, even if he didn't embellish it, he could hear his blood rushing and eager to try.

Sima Yi squinted at Mu Yan, whose face was full of disbelief, and said to Zhang Yu with a half-smile: "Looking at Li Zhang, he is getting more and more stupid, is he really blind and deaf! Such a refreshing thing , even if you don’t say it, others won’t pass it on? I heard that the Orion in Shanqian Village has already passed on Li Zhang as a god!”

How did Zhang Yu know Sima Yi's real thoughts, only that he didn't like it, so he hurriedly argued for Li Zhang: "Those hunters have been fighting with us for a few days, and they don't understand the key points, so their words are naturally exaggerated, not Li Zhang's own. Meaning, please look into it, Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi was choked by Zhang Yu, suffocated for a long time, seeing Zhang Yu's frightened face was even more annoyed, swallowed a few times, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Gu knows better than you what he means! Since Gu let him go out, he will naturally restrain him." Get over it! You and Wu Zijun don't play around in front of Gu, remember your duty!"

Zhang Yu became even more anxious, and argued without hesitation: "How could Li Zhang have any different intentions! He had nothing to do with the Shanqian Village matter, but he suddenly came to help, even if the humble job is not here, he will still try his best to continue! Since the emperor let him go, why didn't he completely let go of his hands and feet. His ability is outstanding even in the army, and he will definitely be able to do better!"

Sima Yi was so angry by Zhang Yu again that he couldn't laugh or cry, but he felt a little relieved in his heart.He glared at Jin Bai, who was as normal as anyone else, and Mu Yan, who had a cloudy complexion. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have my own sense of self-control", and sent Zhang Yu back, then looked at Jin Bai coldly and said : "Have you handed over the hidden guards in Northern Xinjiang to Li Zhang? These days, Bai Qi's private submissions are full of water!"

Jin Bai put down the teacup that he had been holding for a long time, and admitted straightforwardly: "Yes! I can't stay in Bingzhou for a long time, and Bai Qi is too rigid. Apart from him, I can't think of a more suitable candidate!"

Sima Yi stared at Jin Bai speechlessly, and Mu Yan stood up in shock: "Are you serious? Secret guards are a big deal, how can you be so casual!"

Jin Bai snapped back angrily: "General Mu, Li Zhang was the one who found out the Ningzhou land invasion case, what else do you have to say?"

Mu Yan was even more surprised. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Sima Yi who obviously already knew it. He suddenly understood the true meaning of Sima Yi's question that day.

But Sima Yi didn't pay attention to him at all, he still stared at Jin Bai coldly and said, "What else are you hiding from Gu? Let's talk about it together!"

Jin Bai thought for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Sima Yi, and said slowly: "He is going to marry Miss Song."

Sima Yi was startled immediately, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly: "Song!...Song Zhiqing?"

Jin Bai stared at Sima Yi and nodded, "Li Zhang's body is recovering well, it should be due to Miss Song. I heard that she is Jin Yi's apprentice, so I think she has some skills."

Sima Yi had already turned his back when Jin Bai spoke, and after hearing that, he just nodded slightly, and said in a flat tone: "It's good to recover. The two of them are also destined by heaven."

Jin Bai made all kinds of preparations, but he didn't expect such a reply from Sima Yi. He stared at his unmoving back in surprise, and was about to say something, but Sima Yi waved his hand to make them retreat.

After Jin Bai and Mu Yan left, Sima Yi still stood motionless for a long time, until Liu Yuan and Qin Fang came in to serve him, and then he sighed softly: "It turns out that letting go is not so painful..."

Jin Bai and Mu Yan walked out of Zhengyangmen without a word. Before parting, Mu Yan stopped Jin Bai and asked with a frown, "Where is Li Zhang now? When did you meet him?"

Jin Bai squinted at Mu Yan dissatisfied: "What? I can't see him?"

Mu Yan said anxiously and angrily: "Since you already knew it, why did you just hide it from me? The emperor mentioned it several times, and I only thought he was nostalgic, but who knew there was something hidden in it! I am a rough person, so I can't figure it out. What does the emperor mean, are you still unwilling to tell me the truth?!"

Jin Bai looked straight at Mu Yan: "What truth do you want to hear? Is it Li Zhang who was almost burned alive, or did he find out the land invasion case on his own but avoided me? Zhang Yuan's fault is your own. Check it out, why didn't you think that the battle in Shanqian Village was the result of Li Zhang's participation? You never wanted him to live, so he really died in your heart, why are you angry with me now? ?!"

Mu Yan was tongue-tied and blocked by Jin Bai so he couldn't say a word.

Jin Baide was unforgiving, and continued coldly: "Thanks to the blessing of feigning death, the restriction you put on him has been lifted. He has practiced other kung fu, and it really has nothing to do with you!"

Mu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then became angry again for no reason, and said angrily, "He dares!"

Jin Bai continued to be angry with him: "Why didn't he dare? Since you don't want him, my master accepted him as an apprentice on behalf of the ancestor. Now he is your little uncle!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mu Yan grabbed Jin Bai's collar angrily, "Stop talking about such irrelevant things! Tell me where he is now?"

Jin Bai pulled Mu Yan's hand away unmoved: "What do you want to do? He is now in the Dingbei Army, with Zhang Yu and the others."

When Mu Yan heard this, he gritted his teeth resentfully: "You kid Zhang Yu, you dare to lie to me!"

Jin Bai looked at him coolly: "Have you ever asked him? Do you think about Li Zhang at all?"

Mu Yan fell silent again.

Jin Bai straightened his clothes and turned to leave, but Mu Yan stretched out his hand to grab him.

"Okay, I was wrong. But what did the emperor mean just now?"

Jin Bai squinted his eyes, looked at the scattered houses and trees in front of him, and after a long while, he said slowly: "I think, the emperor should finally figure it out."

"I figured it out... what?"

Jin Bai squinted at the bewildered Mu Yan, and said, "I want to understand how to like someone well."

After Jin Bai finished speaking, he paced away, leaving Mu Yan standing there blankly, until Sima Jun pulled Mu Qingshi and ran towards this side one after the other.

"Greetings to my lord father."

As soon as Qing Shi saw his father, he immediately let go of Sima Jun's hand, and politely greeted Mu Yanli.Sima Jun was full of displeasure, glaring at Mu Yan and said first: "General Mu knew we were coming? Brother Qingshi has finished his homework!"

Mu Yan hadn't recovered from the conversation just now, and didn't respond to Sima Jun's words for a while.Mu Qingshi thought his father was angry when he saw him running out to play, so he quickly teased Sima Jun secretly, and reported to Mu Yan more respectfully: "My father has finished the homework assigned in the morning, Your Highness has something to ask the Pope, my son." Just come with him."

"Brother Qingshi is not lazy! He didn't listen to Concubine Min's telling him to rest, and he came out with me only after finishing everything!"

Sima Jun loudly helped Mu Qingshi speak, Mu Yan finally understood, but frowned and said to Sima Jun: "Your Highness is a man of gold, how can he be called Brother Qingshi. He practiced martial arts to protect His Highness in the future, so he should work hard. "

"I also want to practice martial arts, and I also want to protect brother Qingshi!"

"Your Highness, don't make trouble!"

Mu Qingshi, who was at the side, saw that Sima Jun's words were getting more and more out of order, so he hurriedly interrupted.Sima Jun really listened to what he said, although he was unhappy, he pouted and stopped talking.

The more Mu Yan watched, the more startled he became, the wooden head suddenly understood the entanglement between Sima Yi and Li Zhang, and then looked at the two children in front of him, suddenly frightened, and hurriedly called an internal supervisor to lead Sima Jun went into the imperial study room, dragged Mu Qingshi by himself and left as if fleeing.

When Sima Jun saw Sima Yi that day, he asked him puzzled: "Why doesn't General Mu allow me to be called Brother Qingshi? Why doesn't Brother Qingshi want me to protect him?"

Sima Yi was dumbfounded, sat with his son on his lap, looked at Long Yuan hanging on the wall, and said slowly: "Jun'er likes Qingshi?"

"Yes, I like it!"

"Want to be with him forever and never separate?"

"How does the royal father know?"

Sima Jun looked up at Sima Yi in surprise, his big eyes were full of admiration and admiration.

Sima Yi smiled and patted his head, but his words were full of bitterness: "Father only found out now, but it was too late."

Sima Jun shook his head old-fashionedly and said, "It's not too late! Father, just take care of General Mu for Jun'er!"

Sima Yi asked curiously, "Oh? Why?"

Sima Jun said firmly: "Brother Qingshi is afraid of General Mu, and General Mu is also afraid of Emperor Father. As long as Emperor Father controls General Mu, Brother Qingshi will not ignore Jun'er!"

"Qing Shi will ignore Jun'er?"

"No way on weekdays, but when General Mu comes, he ignores me!"

Sima Yi laughed again, tapped Sima Jun's little nose, and said, "As long as Qing Shi likes Jun'er, no matter how powerful General Mu is, he won't ignore you."

"really?"

"really."

Sima Jun was happy for a moment and then tangled up: "Brother Qingshi also likes Jun'er now, why are you still afraid of General Mu?"

"Then how did Jun'er like Qingshi?"

"Jun'er wants to be with Brother Qingshi all the time! Jun'er also wants to protect Brother Qingshi!"

"Then what if Qingshi doesn't want to be with you all the time? Do you still like him?"

"Why doesn't he want to be with me all the time?"

"Men and men all want to achieve a career. If Qing Shi thinks that leaving the capital is the only way to achieve himself, what will you do?"

Sima Jun looked at Sima Yi half-understood, and opened his mouth and said, "Wherever Brother Qing Shi goes, I will follow!"

Sima Yi was dumbfounded, and deliberately continued to ask: "If you become the emperor, you can only stay?"

"Then I will order Brother Qingshi to stay!"

"What if he doesn't want to?"

"Brother Qingshi will not be unwilling!"

"What if he just doesn't want to?"

Sima Jun looked at Sima Yi steadfastly, his big eyes suddenly filled with tears, he flattened his mouth, and burst into tears, crying intermittently, "He...why...won't...won't?... ...I...I gave...the emperor...to him,...he...he should...should...be willing...to...!"

Sima Yi was stunned, and immediately snapped: "It's nonsense! Can the throne be handed over at will!"

Sima Yi had never spoken to Sima Jun so harshly before, Sima Jun was suffocated in fright, stopped crying but also stopped breathing, and was so suppressed that he rolled his eyes for a moment.Sima Yi hurriedly stroked and patted the ground to help him calm down. After a while, he shook his body and began to cry again, but he didn't have the time to say a word.

The queen heard that the eldest prince was trained to cry by the emperor, so she rushed over from the harem. When she arrived, Sima Jun was tired from crying, and lay on Sima Yi's chest and closed his eyes, only shaking his body from time to time. Take a breath.The queen looked distressed, and raised her eyes to look at Sima Yi, but seeing his helpless doting expression, she hesitated and swallowed the words that rushed to her lips.

Sima Yi carefully hugged Sima Jun, looked at the Queen's hesitant to speak, and said with a helpless smile: "This kid is really an orphan's son, but he may not be the good leader of the Great Wei Jiangshan, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing!"

The queen was shocked, and followed the voice and asked: "What does the emperor mean? And where did you know that Jun'er will not be a good master?"

Sima Yi didn't want to say more, and waved his hand wearily: "Everyone is vying for the seat of the emperor. It's really better not to sit. If Jun'er really has no intentions, why not just be a comfortable prince?" good?"

With a cold face, the empress asked sharply: "He is the eldest son, according to the etiquette, he should be the successor. If he doesn't become the emperor, does the emperor think others will make him feel at ease?!"

Sima Yi was silent, looked down at his sleeping son in his arms, and laughed at himself: "Yes, since you were born in the royal family, you can't help yourself. Heh!"

Sima Yi said as he motioned for the queen to come forward and take Sima Jun.The queen looked at Sima Yi suspiciously, and asked slowly: "What happened to the emperor today? Mr. Wu reported that the emperor's lunch had hardly been touched, and now..., what happened?"

Sima Yi waved his hands and said in a perfunctory way: "I didn't sleep well yesterday, and I felt a little nauseated when I was tired from reading the booklets. I was playing with Juner just now, and I made him cry when I didn't pay attention. I ran in to fiddle with the truth, did Zi Tong come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?"

"The concubine dare not! The concubine is worried that Jun'er will offend the emperor ignorantly."

Sima Yi frowned and said, "I really like Jun'er's Tongyan Wuji, so why bother to talk about it?"

The queen paused, and confessed: "When Jun'er came, she asked the concubine some strange things, and thought the concubine was vague, so she said that she wanted to come to the emperor..."

Sima Yi looked at the queen quietly, and after a long while, he said flatly, "It's okay for Zi Tong to speak directly if he has something to say."

The queen hesitated for a moment, and after handing over Sima Jun to the accompanying nanny to bring him back, she faced Sima Yi and said solemnly: "I heard that Li Zhang is still alive?"

"Oh? Where did Zitong hear it?"

The queen answered calmly: "The emperor doesn't remember? The concubine's natal brother is serving in the Dingbei Army."

Sima Yi was stunned, nodded and said: "Gu forgot to participate in politics. Li Zhang is not dead, so what?"

Sima Yi looked at the queen expressionlessly, the queen lowered her head to avoid Sima Yi's gaze, and asked softly, "What does the emperor plan to do?"

"How to do it? What does Zitong think Gu wants to do?"

The queen raised her head, looked at Sima Yi with an indifferent face, suddenly became uncertain, and said hesitantly: "I think... the emperor will bring him back."

"The queen is here to persuade Gu?"

"The concubine dare not! It's just the empress dowager..."

Sima Yi laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes: "The matter of Li Zhang is always my own business! The empress manages the harem and does her job well! Don't say anything in front of Jun'er! "

The queen turned pale, and hurriedly argued: "The concubine has never told Jun'er! It was Jun'er who heard some rumors and asked, but the concubine didn't know what to say, even if he denied it, he wouldn't believe it..."

Sima Yi pinched the eyebrows wearily, waved his hand to stop the queen, and said coldly: "Gu will not take him back to the palace again, you can rest assured!"
