Li Yuan comes and goes in a hurry.@
Originally, he wanted to meet Li Jing, but it was obvious that his daughter was very protective of him, so he didn't want to cause any trouble.
In fact, Li Jing has always been a person he can use or not use in his mind. Of course, now, he will not use Li Jing to lead the army.
As for blaming Li Yaoshi for Li Ding'an's incident... Li Yuan would never do such a stupid thing unless it was absolutely necessary.
First of all, Li Jing is a meritorious person no matter what, and he has stayed in Chang'an very honestly. If he is still forcibly convicted, Li Jing's son-in-law may not be in good condition, but it is his Li family's reputation that will be damaged first.
.
Secondly, how many people who raise armies to fight for supremacy in the world will take care of their father, brothers and children? What's more, Li Jing is only Li Po's father-in-law, which is even worse. Li Yuan will naturally not do this without benefit if he refers to others.
The act of things.
Just like when he raised his troops to go south, why did he care about the lives of his family members?
In fact, let alone Li Yuan, look at the heroes who have made waves in recent years, who is there who doesn't have the mentality of success or failure to fight for that slim chance?
Yang Xuangan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong... and so on, are all like this, without exception.
And if those who want to do great things cannot even do this, they might as well return to their fields as soon as possible, otherwise the result will definitely be harm to others and themselves, and they will end up dead.
Of course, even if these people are more heartless than God, if they cannot win that position, their end will be extremely miserable.
What Li Po and his wife said was not true at all. This road is a road of no return. Once you take it, don't think about turning back. Being unkind and unjust can only be said to be the most basic standard.
Therefore, in Li Yuan's view, Medicine Master Li is not even worthy of being a hostage now.
In fact, not only Li Yuan understands this, but Li Jing also understands that as long as he doesn't hang around in front of others, he will be safe in Chang'an.
Probably very little.
When Li Yuan came to the princess mansion and talked with his daughter, Li Jing was leisurely drinking tea in a large courtyard in the mansion.
After so many years of misfortune, Li Jing's ability to bend and stretch was definitely no worse than Han Xin's. He lived a good life under the protection of Princess Pingyang for a long time, and restricted his family members not to cause trouble outside at will.
On weekdays, he concentrates on writing, and in his free time, he strolls around the gardens of the mansion. Occasionally, he hears others talk about Li Ding'an, but he doesn't take it seriously. He is almost like a hermit in the mountains and forests.
When Li Yuan came to the house today, Li Xiuning didn't need to say anything. He first said that he wanted to avoid Li Yuan and never touch Li Yuan's bad luck.
Moreover, he could also guess Li Yuan's purpose of coming.
His son-in-law... At that time, he just thought that he was born with talents, but today it seems that he has underestimated him.
Several years passed by in a hurry, the world was in chaos, and wars were everywhere. However, this son-in-law rose up in the wind and became a local prince. The feelings in his heart were so complex that it was impossible for outsiders to understand.
Thinking about how many times in his life he had worked hard, but in the end he still achieved nothing, yet he died at such a young age... In contrast, Li Jing also smiled bitterly, and he could only say that his fate was over.
At the beginning, he was inevitably resentful that his son-in-law had been implicated. But later, as his son-in-law's reputation became more and more famous, it even made many people in Chang'an uneasy, and now he has become the Li family's biggest enemy...
Although Li Jing was worried, he felt a little proud. Li Po was not only Li Jing's student, but he was also Li Jing's son-in-law.
He, Li Jing, has accomplished nothing, so it is true that he relies on others, but his student is a hero who will not bow to the Turks.
Speaking of which, there is nothing strange about the mentality of relying on future generations if you can't succeed, but it also shows that people are old, otherwise they would never have such an idea.
Li Jing has fallen into countless traps in his life, but now he has fallen into his son-in-law's trap again.
In Li Jing's eyes, Li Yuan was just that. He was not a wise monarch. If the world hadn't been in chaos and he had occupied the position of Taiyuan's left-behind, no one would have had his turn. Li Yuan entered Chang'an and became known as the Gudao.
Widow.
Especially when it comes to employing people, not to mention Emperor Wen Yang Jian, he is probably not even as good as Yang Guang. This man places too much emphasis on family background and has no tolerance for people.
On the contrary, his children looked like they were going to be better than their predecessors.
Therefore, Li Jing could only guess the reason why Li Yuan came to Princess Pingyang's mansion at this time.
Li Yuan maintained his own reputation and liked the art of combining vertical and horizontal lines.
Princess Pingyang and her son-in-law are unclear... I guess they are thinking of subduing the enemy without a fight, right?
It didn't take long before someone came to report to him and the emperor left.
After turning around, Li Jing asked his servants to get the robe. As soon as he put it on, Li Xiuning sent someone to call him over.
After Li Xiuning sent his father away, he didn't move anywhere. He poured himself a drink in the main hall of the mansion. When Li Jing came, he only looked over and knew that the princess was in a bad mood.
Li Xiuning is a good drinker, but since the war, she has been extremely restrained in drinking. At this time, her mind was wandering, but she poured cup after cup into her mouth.
Seeing Li Jing coming, he waved his hand gently and said, "Li Changshi is here just in time. Come and have a few drinks with me."
Li Jing was not restrained. He bowed and sat down on the banquet. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's okay to drink some. It's just drinking to drown your sorrows. A wise man doesn't do that."
Li Xiuning glanced at him sideways, raised her neck, drank another glass, poured it out casually, and said: "Li Changshi can be called a wise man, but I... I have a lot of troubles now, and I need Chang Shi's advice."
Li Jing said: "The Supreme Being comes and goes in a hurry. It doesn't look like he has something important to discuss with His Highness, right?"
Li Xiuning curled up the corner of his mouth slightly, raised the wine glass to his mouth and put it down again, "Why would Li Changshi ask knowingly? Is there anything else that my father can discuss with me now?"
Li Jing was very thick-skinned, and a little ridicule was nothing. Moreover, since he had been working under Li Xiuning so far, the two of them actually knew each other well, and it was impossible to pretend to be confused.
After pondering for a moment, Li Jingcai said: "What do you want from Your Highness?"
Li Xiuning held the wine glass and said lazily: "What else can I do..."
At this point, Li Xiuning placed the wine glass heavily on the table, "The war is about to begin, no matter the victory or defeat, how can there be any mercy? If I win, my father will still listen to my advice and accept my advice? If I lose, others will still listen.
With my mere words, I am leaving the land of Jin alone without taking it?
I'm not Su Zhang, can I say that if the two families stop fighting, will they be happy and harmonious?"
Li Jing was stunned by the resentment that hit him.
Over there, Li Xiuning drank another drink without hesitation and threw the glass on the table. "After this battle, I will go out of the capital for a trip and let Li Wu and the others prepare their luggage. It is estimated that they will be there in less than a month."
It’s time to set off. Li Changshi will take charge of everything in the house and wait for my return... Haha, I don’t know if I can come back from this trip..."
After saying that, Li Xiuning had already stood up, "I drank a little too much. Chang Shi went to go to the toilet. I also want to go to the back house to have a rest."
Before he could finish his words, he had already taken steps to leave.
Li Jing was stunned. This didn't seem right. I didn't say anything. My mind was a little confused, but I still got up and sent Li Xiuning off respectfully.
After Li Xiuning and his servants disappeared, Li Jing calmed down and thought about it, and then it dawned on him that he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The people in his old Li family were indeed all cunning.
Actually, if you think about it, everything he said has been made clear. It's just that he has made the old habit again and takes his own family too seriously.
They were obviously telling him that he was going to visit Jinland in the future, and the purpose was clearly stated, and then he was asked to stay in the princess's residence and not to have other thoughts.
Moreover, people were afraid that if he refused his offer to go north together, they would hurt their feelings, so they pretended to be drunk and ran away without letting him say anything.
Thinking of this, Li Jing couldn't laugh or cry. Fortunately, he had lived for such a long time and was being played around by a little girl, and he still wanted to help others with suggestions.
You should have thought of it a long time ago. How could someone like Li Sanniang drown her sorrows in alcohol and still complain about her father in front of outsiders?
Well, Zhuge Liang did this not once or twice after the fact, but not this time. In terms of emotional intelligence, although Li Jing is not an imbecile, compared with many people, he is more than a step behind.
……………………
Of course, Li Xiuning, who had resorted to some tricks at this time, had no sense of pride.
He hurried back to the back house, feeling a little drunk. After freshening up, he retired and sat quietly on the couch in the room. He held his forehead and began to think about this terrible thing.
Her father was obviously not that confused and wanted to wait until the war was over before letting her go north to Jin.
Li Xiuning knew what this meant.
This battle is inevitable, and the consequences of victory should not be too great, because even if Li Po is defeated and returns to Jinyang, with the support of the two states, the hope of the Tang army to take advantage of the situation and regain Jinyang is very slim.
If they were defeated, not to mention, the whole land of Jin would be in ruins, and even Chang'an would be severely shaken.
Therefore, no matter whether she wins or loses, she will probably go to see Li Po as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, but the chips in her hands will be different when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuning's heart moved. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't, because even if she met him, what should she say to that person?
Even if she had that chance, could she really be so ruthless as to lure that man to come to Chang'an and lead him to be killed?
Will that person force her to stay in Jinyang...
The blush on her face after drinking became even more intense. Li Xiuning rolled over on the couch several times upset, but in her mind she couldn't help but think of all the things that happened in Yun Nei back then.
Those days were so short that they seemed to fly by in vain, but they were as long as a lifetime. As she thought about it dreamily, she unknowingly snored slightly and fell asleep...
In her sleep, her brows were frowned tightly, but there was a slight smile on her lips. Maybe even in her dream, her sorrow and joy were intertwined.
