878 Conflict
In Chang'an, Neiwei has rushed to send information, saying that Li You had arrived in Yangzhou and walked up the canal. It was estimated that he had arrived in Chang'an.
After receiving the news, the courtiers had their own minds, and today the leaders of the various factions are also discussing, but no matter what, since Li You is back, some words will naturally have to be understood after meeting. It is not a few people here. It can be negotiated.
As for Li You’s arrival, Li Zhi, Li Shuang, and Nangong Ning are the happiest thing. As long as Li You comes, this matter is not a troublesome thing in their opinion, and Li Shuang and Nangong Ning are also both. Don't rush back, just wait here.
Chang'an Wharf, the old general Cheng Boxian, the Xiaobi who has given official status, Su Yang, the minister of rituals, and Wei Wei, the chief minister of rites, waited here. There were no honors, like old friends. Actually, there is still a saying. , After all, Li You is still betrayed by the crime of treason. If he is really treated with courtesy of the state, I am afraid some people will say three to four.
Among the four, with the exception of Su Yang, who is two in his forty, the other three are almost in their early years, and time flies. On the contrary, Cheng Boxian, who was a little older, looked the toughest, while Xiao Bi was thinner.
Seeing the boat coming, Cheng Boxian said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, it is not easy to see General Li again in the rest of my life! Hey, Xiao Gong, you are a good son-in-law."
Xiao Bi looked at him with a faint smile, and said, "General Cheng is envious of my son-in-law's wealthy family?"
"Duke Xiao, it turns out that when General Li was in Chang'an, who did not rely on him to make a fortune? Your son-in-law is not the envy of others. You can establish a country in a remote place. You only sell hot sauce and oil every year. It can earn millions, oh, it’s scary to think about it."
When everyone saw the three people standing on the deck, they were really a little emotional, but Xiao Bi, when they saw Xiao Qixue, they were both happy and a little sad, but no matter what, he could always see his daughter again in his lifetime. This is enough.
When he got ashore, Li You held his fists to meet him. He also liked this way of greeting. "Li You has seen you all, I feel ashamed of you being here for a long time."
After speaking, he stepped forward and bowed, and said to Xiao Mi: "My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law, I wish Lao Taishan good health."
Xiao Qixue even knelt in front of Xiao Bi. She had not returned for 15 years and only wrote letters. She really felt ashamed of her parents. This kneeling indeed contained too much bitterness.
"Daddy, my daughter is not filial, causing my dad and mother to miss her."
Xiao Bi lifted her daughter up and said with tears in her eyes: "Xue'er, get up quickly. I feel so happy that I can see you again for my father. Your mother doesn't know that you are back too. If she sees you later, she will be happy. Yes, don't cry, be happy."
On the other side, Li You turned to Cheng Boxian, looked at his old face, and said with a smile: "General Cheng, it is inappropriate to call you old general. Don't mind calling you like this. If you have time at night, I will accompany you. General Cheng bet on two, I wonder if the general is still interested in this?"
"Hahaha, there is interest, but the old man dare not gamble with General Li, because he doesn't have the wealth."
After Li You and Cheng Boxian smiled at each other, they clasped their fists to Su Yang and said, "Congratulations to Su Xiang for entering the political affairs hall, it's very good."
Su Yang didn't want to say much, just bowed back.
When we arrived at Wei Jiansu, Li You said: "Wei Xiang, should I explain the matter with Zhi'er?"
Wei Jiansu knew that Li You would say this. He said, "General Li, the fact of your majesty is a last resort. I originally wanted to push Xinping County King to the top, but who knew that Duan Ning did the job, he not only killed the Shen family." For one, the first emperor was forced to abdicate to achieve this result. Although General Li has the kindness of nurturing his majesty, his majesty is the king of my Tang Dynasty after all, and the position of God is naturally a matter of course."
"After Wei Xiang, everyone knows that, otherwise, the four of you won't be here. Li Zhi is my son, not the blood of the Li family. He inherits the throne. What is your heart? Knowing that the title of becoming king on his head is what you want, and Datang also needs stability. You don’t care who is the emperor, as long as he can be the emperor in name, but I care, above the throne, there is How difficult is it, don’t you know? Just like me, I set up a country of Nan'an, a small country, a small country, a cabinet, and a prime minister to replace me. Even so, I am not easy, let alone the Emperor of Tang, hehe, you are I don't want Li Zhi to be alive, right?"
"General Li, you can’t say that. No matter what General Li did outside, we are all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Now the Tang Dynasty is in danger. What about the people of the Tang Dynasty if there is a chaos in the country? Is it General Li? Can you really see such a scene?"
Wei Jiansu did not hide what was in his heart, but Li You knew that he hadn't mentioned one more thing, that is, the noble family he represented. No matter who was the emperor, he only cared about his own interests. Once the Tang Dynasty was chaotic. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a foreign invasion or the outbreak of a civil war, it doesn’t matter who is the noble and the commoner. When the time comes, it will be the noble that is unlucky first.
"Wei Xiang, the people's interests are not exchanged for my son."
"General Li's words are not good. People in the Tang Dynasty are not easy to live. Now that the country looks like this, you need a Mingjun. Your Majesty is a man of the Tang Dynasty, and now he has the throne. You should have the heart to support you, and we are all When I get old, the Central Government still has to rely on the younger generation. The industry of the Tang Dynasty is only to look at them. I will be regarded as meritorious to the country when I am responsible for the stability. As for the future, I can't control it. "
Li You nodded. Now that Wei Jiansu has set out all the conditions, he will naturally not say anything more. He just said: "Wei Xiang, let this matter be aside for the time being. After I have met Zhi'er, since Will give Wei Xiang a satisfactory answer."
With the word satisfaction, Li You also specially emphasized the tone. Wei Jiansu can be regarded as getting a response, and he feels a little relieved. He is really afraid of Li You's strong rejection.
Qujiangchi, Furong Garden, Ziyun Tower, Li Zhi, Li Shuang, and Nangong Ning have already been waiting here.
After seeing Li You and his party here, the three came out to pay respects. There are no outsiders here, and Wei Jiansu's arrangements are pretty good.
However, in addition to Li You, Xiao Qixue, Yang Yu, after seeing people, was a curse, especially Li Shuang, and Xiao Qixue cried.
Li You didn't care about them. He came to the lobby of Ziyun Tower. Su Yang had been waiting for him. He still needed to ask Su Yang about some things. As for the others, they all went to Caixia Pavilion and said that if they had a banquet there, it would naturally make room for Li You and others.
Seeing Li You coming downstairs, Su Yang stepped forward and bowed and said: "Su Yang pays homage to the lord."
"You don't need to be polite, Su Yang, I'll ask you why the ministers insisted that Zhi'er be the throne. Could it be that Datang really got to the point where he was the only one?"
"Lord, it is true. The title of becoming a king is what the officials want. Whoever has this title can be the emperor. Only this title can save the Tang Dynasty." (End of this chapter)
