Li Ye, Li Yan, and Wu You returned to the hall and sat down again. Li Yan threw himself on the chair, leaned on his body and asked Li Ye, "Will Duke Xing submit obediently?"
Li Ye took a sip of herbal tea: "It's hard to say."
Li Yan said: "Then why don't I leave for a few days, and just stay with you, so that Duke Xing won't dare to play tricks on you."
Li Ye smiled and said: "You are a prince, you will stay with me and not leave, and you will not be afraid of being criticized by the officials?"
Li Yan said indifferently: "I don't ask for the position of prince. Those officials can say whatever they want. As long as they don't do bad things that anger people and others, they will be reprimanded at most. It's not a problem. It's you here. Don't worry about it."
The two of them were saying this, Wu Youhu's face changed slightly, she took out the communication jade slip and listened to it, when Li Ye looked over, her face was already broken: "Father told me to go back quickly, I was sneaked out."
Seeing her appearance, Li Ye knew that Wu Hongshan must have reprimanded her in the jade slip of communication. This is not a common thing. Everyone in Chang'an City knows that Wu Hongshan dotes on Wu You very much. As an official, all kinds of battles cannot be avoided. Xing Guogong is a member of the Prime Minister Wei Baoheng. When Li Ye and Xing Guogong were fighting fiercely, Princess Li appeared in Prince An's mansion, which would make outsiders think that Wu Hongshan was on Li Ye's side.
Offending Wei Baoheng, of course Wu Hongshan couldn't bear it.
Wu Hongshan is a son-in-law, and because of this, he needs to be more cautious. Datang's son-in-law has never been a good job.
Li Yan was lying on the couch and didn't want to move. This is a master who can sit but never stand, and can lie down and never sit. Li Ye went to see Wu You off by himself. He lowered his head and said to Li Ye: "It may be a long time, I won't be able to see brother Ye."
Wu You lowered his head, and the two braids were right in front of Li Ye's eyes. He touched her head and said warmly: "It's okay, this turmoil will pass soon."
"Really? Brother Ye is sure that he will succeed in winning the title?" Wu You raised his powder-carved face, his big watery eyes were full of hope.
Li Ye smiled: "Being a qi master, I was supposed to become a noble. Now that Li Yao is in my hands, and Li Yan is staying here, what can Duke Xing do to delay it for one more day? Is Xing Guogong not afraid of Li Yao's mistakes?"
"But haven't you abolished Li Yao's cultivation?" Wu Younahan asked.
Li Ye: "Duke Xing doesn't know now, does he?"
Wu You immediately jumped up and jumped on the spot, "Mr. Xing is going to be deflated, just think about his appearance to relieve his anger!"
Watching Wu You's carriage drive out of the palace, Li Ye sighed softly.
Xing Guogong Li Guanshu, Prime Minister Wei Baoheng, the imperial city Miyagi, from Chang'an to the world, being a prince just means setting foot on the starting point.
What is really challenging is the road to becoming an official after winning the title.
Back in the hall, Li Yan was already listening to the music. He crossed his legs, shook his head, and looked intoxicated. There were four maids standing beside him, bringing him drinks and snacks from time to time, and feeding him some fruits. These maids, as well as the geisha who played the pipa for him in the hall, are naturally from Prince An's Mansion.
"I just went out for a while, and you actually made the scene of listening to the music out." Li Ye sat on the other side, and a maid served him his favorite wine.
Judging from the reactions of the maids, it is obvious that they are already familiar with such a scene.
"Your mansion is my mansion, and my mansion is your mansion. They are all from my own family, so why not be polite." Li Yan said something unruly that an ordinary prince would never say, and then sighed, "You don't know , these days when I went to Dongdu, I was surrounded by officials from the Ministry all the time, and it was rare to find a time to listen to a song, but it suffocated me... "
"Stop. Don't you just want to go to Comfort Square? I'll just go with you." Li Ye was considerate.
If it was the past, at this time Li Yan would definitely jump up from his seat happily, drag Li Ye and go out. But right now, Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then his face suddenly became serious, he stared at Li Ye for a moment, and then said mysteriously: "Actually, what I want to say is that when I went to Dongdu this time, I heard some rumor."
"I thought you were going to say that when you went back to Dongdu, you met a heroine who is all over the world." Li Ye joked.
Li Yan didn't make jokes like before, but was very serious: "I'm serious."
It was rare to see Li Yan acting like a fool, so Li Ye turned his back and asked, "What rumor?"
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, but did not directly tell the truth. Instead, he first talked about An Wang Li Xian: "Uncle's cultivation qualifications are the best among all others. Both civil and military, after becoming an official, governing can stabilize one side and be praised by the people, leading soldiers can detect rebellions and guard the border. Wen and Wang Duo are called the pillars of society, and Wu and Gao Pian are called the double walls of the dynasty... ... "
Li Ye frowned slightly. The current Tang Dynasty is indeed no longer as powerful as the former Emperor Xuanzong's time. Qin Tianjian, who is in charge of the world's Taoism, has repeatedly reported to the court: there are many immortals in the world, and they are colluding with the feudal towns and disobeying the imperial court's prohibition , recruiting disciples without authorization, passing on the immortal law to the people, expanding the ranks of monks, and increasing one's own strength are signs that the world will be in chaos and a catastrophe will occur.
However, the memorandum fell into the hands of the eunuch before it could be heard by the heavens, and a word of slander went down, but the emperor angrily reprimanded the Qin Tianjian for his demonic words to confuse the people.
Because of this, people at the time praised Li Xian highly, saying: Before the great chaos comes, there must be evildoers, and when the building is about to collapse, there must be heroes born.
It's just that I don't know why Li Yan suddenly mentioned Li Xian at this time.
Li Yan continued: "Two years ago, Pang Xun rebelled, and the local soldiers and horses were repeatedly defeated by the rebels, so that within a few months, the rebels gathered hundreds of thousands of people, and disaster affected several states in Huainan. The land south of the Huaihe River is The land of fish and rice, most of the imperial court’s wealth depends on this place. The feudal town was unable to quell the rebellious soldiers, so the imperial court summoned his uncle to ask for advice, and then put his uncle in command. Motivate 100,000 soldiers and horses from the four towns, and 100 people from Qintian Supervisor to quell the chaos."
Speaking of this, Li Yan glanced at Li Yan: "In less than half a year, the chaos will be settled. Just when the people of the whole country praised the uncle's virtuous name again, the sad news that the uncle died in the battle suddenly came. After the war, the court As a meritorious service, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, my uncle's merits are not obvious, and he only got a moderate evaluation. Instead, Kang Chengxun, the supervisor of the army, has the highest honor and was greatly rewarded by the court."
Li Yan sighed: "My uncle lived his life as a community, and died as a community. Who would not admire a man of lofty ideals in the world? But in the last battle,... Regarding the death of my uncle, the imperial court reported that two When the army was victorious in the decisive battle, my uncle chased Pang Xun too far alone in order to capture Pang Xun who had escaped. Instead, he was ambushed by Pang Xun. ... "
Li Ye waved his hand, signaling the maids and geisha in the hall to step back.
After a while, Li Ye said: "So, the rumors you heard in Dongdu this time are related to your father's death?"
Li Yan nodded. At this point, there is no need to cover up: "This time I heard some secrets about the battle that day. At that time, when the two armies were in a decisive battle and the army was victorious, Pang Xun abandoned the crowd and fled because of his cultivation. He has already reached the high level of Qi training, and it is rumored that he has reached the ninth level of Qi training, so all the generals in the army and the masters of Qin Tianjian can't catch up. Only my uncle, relying on his cultivation level that touched the threshold of foundation establishment, caught up alone... . . . ”
"Originally, Uncle's cultivation level was a level higher than Pang Xun's, so it wouldn't be too difficult to pursue him, but the strange thing is that when the two armies were fighting by the Feishui River, Uncle actually chased him to Bagong Mountain... So Some people say that when Pang Xun fled alone, he was rescued by mysterious masters, and his uncle also died in the hands of these mysterious masters."
Li Ye frowned: "Father's cultivation base has reached the tenth level of great perfection in Qi training, and he has touched the threshold of foundation establishment. Looking at the whole world, there are few people who can match him. What kind of mysterious master can hold father back?" ? Can you kill him?"
Li Yan shook his head: "I don't know about it... It is said that there is more than one expert who took care of Pang Xun and killed Uncle."
Li Ye was silent for a moment: "Pang Xun was captured by Kang Chengxun in the end. If it is said that the master who took over Pang Xun was so high that even his father could be besieged and killed, how could Pang Xun fall into Kang Chengxun's hands? Kang Chengxun's cultivation Because, but not as much as my father."
Li Yan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "After the Pang Xun Rebellion, Kang Chengxun was promoted to a noble, but his uncle did not get a high evaluation... Later, rumors in the government and the public said that his uncle's achievements were so high that he was taboo by the emperor. Although he sacrificed his life for the country without merit, Kang Chengxun won the favor of the eunuch "four nobles", so he was promoted to a noble... "
Li Ye frowned: "Rumors from the government and the public?"
Li Yan snorted: "I also heard this in Dongdu."
Li Ye fell into deep thought.
At that time, when he received the sad news that Li Xian had died in battle, the imperial court notified him that Li Xian had died in battle.
The tree fell and the macaques scattered. After this incident, the qi training monks who were attached to Prince An's Mansion all abandoned Prince An's Mansion.
In the past, King An had the most power in the court, and even the prime minister had to be courteous. At that time, Prince An's Mansion was crowded with people and brightly lit all night. Every day, there were many heroes and heroes who came to pay respects. When King An came out, he would walk with a guard of honor, and when he entered, the guests would accompany him. It was so majestic.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
But overnight, Prince An's mansion was deserted, and even the title of King An's title almost fell to the only heir of King An.
In his previous life, Li Ye didn't think much about these things, but now that he thinks about it, those guests of Prince An's Mansion left a little too quickly, and those officials with higher ranks in the Palace of Prince An's too fast to find another way out fast.
As for Li Yao, as Li Ye's cousin, inheriting the title of King An, it is too weird. Although Li Yao is a genius among the clan's children, and Li Ye is not welcome, King An has made great contributions to the country after all. Li Tang's clan fought fiercely for power and profit, but Li Ye should not have been directly kicked out of the palace and lived in the market.
But if Li Xian was originally suspected by the emperor, then all this would make sense.
