As if entering his own home, Li Po strolled through the door.
The only people who accompanied him here were Luo Shixin and a group of guards. He did not bring with him the daily attendants, mainly because he wanted to talk to Fan Wenjin alone.
After so many years, Fan Wenjin’s performance has been extremely good. No need to ask anyone to know that it is not easy, and there is no need to question Fan Wenjin’s talent.
It's just that this person has never been around him before, so he needs to see the person before giving him a heavy responsibility.
He did not summon Fan Wenjin in the Tai Chi Hall or the palace, but chose to come out of the palace to meet him. This was a reward for Fan Wenjin's contribution over the years, and it was also a sign of respect.
Respect from the king is no joke. If the subordinates do not respond appropriately, it may turn into a disaster.
Li Po still wanted to see Fan Wenjin's performance at this time, whether he was keeping a low profile and being submissive in front of him, or whether he was trying his best to show off his talents in order to gain the emperor's trust and appreciation.
It's all possible, and neither of them is wrong. What I fear most is that the person will become suspicious, fearful, and unable to advance or retreat. In that case, it will be very disappointing.
…………
"This used to be the residence of King Wei Zhao. Have you heard of King Wei Zhao Yang Shuang?" Li Po talked to Luo Shixin as he walked forward.
Luo Shixin simply shook his head. He didn't know what King Wei Zhao was.
"There are many people with the surname Yang in the imperial court. There were even more people with the surname Yang in the former Sui Dynasty, but not many are mentioned by my brother. It seems that Yang Shuang is quite lucky?"
Li Po smiled and gave Luo Sanlang some knowledge, "That's not a big deal. He is the younger brother of Emperor Wen and the uncle of Yang Guang. He has a noble family background.
Moreover, this King Wei Zhao was also a famous general, and he killed as many Turks as I did. It can be said that Yang Shuang conquered a certain part of the world in the former Sui Dynasty.
If he hadn't died in his twenties, maybe there wouldn't be any Turks now, and we people would also be the obedient people of the Sui Dynasty, and it would be good to earn some money to support our family."
Luo Shixin said in surprise: "How come I haven't heard of such a person? Brother, please don't lie to me. There were indeed powerful people in the Sui Dynasty. The general Zhang I followed in Shandong was pretty good."
Even he lost the battle and lost his life, so I don't believe that Yang is more powerful than General Zhang."
Li Po smiled and said: "You are talking about Zhang Xutuo, right? There is no comparison. Zhang Xutuo led the troops to fight against the rebels, while Yang Shuang fought with the Turks and Tuyuhun. How can they be compared?"
Luo Shixin was a little unconvinced, but he did not dare to refute. He just muttered: "The man named Yang died in his twenties, but he did not live as long as General Zhang."
This sentence made Li Po burst into laughter, "Sanlang was good at messing around, and that's true. Yang Shuang died too early, so although his achievements were great, they were not revealed to the world.
They say that if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about having firewood.
Many people don't understand this truth, but Saburo was able to hit the nail on the head, which shows that he is more clear-minded than most people."
Luo Shixin was a little embarrassed to be praised, "I'm not as good as my brother said, I just think that living longer is not a bad thing, hehe."
Li Po was in a good mood and was willing to make jokes with him for a while. But when he saw Fan Wenjin, he was not so relaxed. That guy was a man who had struggled out of monsters, and he should be no worse than those in Henan.
"Who says it's not the case? Death has been the only option since ancient times, and who doesn't want to live longer?" Li Po patted Luo Shixin's thick shoulder.
If Luo Sanlang hadn't met him, his bones might have been shattered into pieces. Luo Sanlang was not as clever as Cheng Dabeard.
He dares to rush ahead of anything he encounters, and even a few lives may not be enough for him.
…………
While talking, the group of people had already entered the mansion.
The guards immediately dispersed on the left and right.
Li Po was not as good at shopping as Yang Guang, but he went out of the palace a lot. He would go out to relax from time to time, and he was quite regular, usually going to the same few houses.
This also brought a lot of risks. Once someone wanted to do something big, they would definitely ambush the emperor on his way out of the palace.
Therefore, some people often advise the emperor not to leave the palace as much as possible. Even if he does leave the palace, he should find some new places instead of always going to a fixed place to meet people.
The solution is actually very simple. If you want to see whoever you want, recruit him into the palace. Why do you have to condescend to meet him?
Li Po turned a deaf ear to these words. He knew the risks involved, but who the hell could stay in one place honestly?
Immortals can still visit the lower world from time to time, but the emperor has to stay in the palace? In that case, what is the difference between him as an emperor and a prisoner?
It turns out that I have been fighting with people to death for so many years just to put myself in a cage, right?
Therefore, Li Po remained the same as before. When he wanted to leave the palace for some fresh air, he would never allow himself to hesitate. If he took some risks, he would take some risks. If a young man is not afraid of confiscating his family and exterminating his family, then let's do it. Who is afraid of whom?
As a result, he strengthened his bodyguard force. It was not a matter of how many people there were, but to enable them to adapt to the work of bodyguards.
Just the thirty or forty people he has brought out now, or a few hundred people, as long as they cannot form an army formation, let alone annihilate them all, even if they want to stop them for a while, it will not be possible.
After becoming the emperor, there were more and more strange people around him. There were more than one or two who could shoot arrows with their swords. Even the Yanlu people back then couldn't kill them one by one with one sword.
…………
Neither Li Po nor Luo Shixin have any feelings for this mansion. How can a nice mansion be better than the palace? Then you have to be careful about your life.
Not far away, Fan Wenjin and Chu Suiliang hurried out. They were still far away, so they greeted them with a big gift.
"Your Majesty, Fan Wenjin, is here to see you."
Li Po took a moment to look at him, then he had to take two steps to help him.
Corporal Li Xian, Li Po understood very well, and since the scene was so appropriately placed, he had to show it off.
Li Po "lifted" the person up with a single stroke, almost knocking him over. Li Po grabbed the other person's arm to stabilize himself, and said in his heart that it was a dangerous situation.
Is he so weak? Li Po looked at Fan Wenjin's face and suddenly realized that the Taichang Temple newspaper said that this man was sick. It seemed that he was not pretending.
By the way, he waved his hand to Chu Suiliang to excuse him. Li Po looked at Fan Wenjin and said with a smile: "I have always thought about you in the ten years since you left Liangzhou. But I am very happy to think that you can make great achievements and you are no longer the little staff member of Changping County.
, it seems that I really did not misjudge the person back then."
His Highness the King of Han is still so tall and majestic, but he lacks the murderous spirit, but has added a bit of majesty and nobility, and his words are very heart-warming...
The image of the King of Han suddenly reappeared in Fan Wenjin's mind, and it became clearer.
Fan Wenjin's eyes gradually turned red, and his voice choked with sobs as he said: "It's a blessing from heaven that I can live up to your majesty's trust and now I can come to your majesty to revive my life. I will die without regrets."
This time... I really should cry. It's a pity that Li Po has no sentimentality, let alone excitement. It's a waste of the stage he has set up.
Li Po straightened Fan Wenjin smoothly, patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Don't imitate that little girl, you and I, our monarchs and ministers, are all great men in the world, and we will bleed without shedding tears.
We haven’t seen each other for ten years. Let’s go and have a few drinks with me so we can talk about our feelings after we say goodbye.”
Fan Wenjin was a little dumbfounded by the emperor's intimacy. He had thought about many scenes when he met the emperor before, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so secluded from him.
Laughing at Yan Yan, like brothers, isn't this a bit dangerous?
Chu Suiliang watched from the side, his eyes turning blue with envy. This was a perfect beginning. He felt that as long as Fan Wenjin behaved more normally in the future, His Majesty would definitely be satisfied.
Seeing a gap in conversation at this time, Chu Suiliang immediately came up and whispered: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fan is ill, and the doctor has told him not to drink alcohol."
Li Po patted his forehead and said, "See how happy I am, I actually forgot about this. You asked Taichang Temple to send two imperial doctors to stay here permanently. If Fan Qing doesn't recover, they don't have to go back for a day." Shang Medical Department."
Fan Wenjin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although I have made a small contribution to the country, I have received generous gifts from Your Majesty. How can I dare to accept Na Tejia's favor again?"
I also ask Your Majesty to take back the order, as long as... let them come to the mansion to visit from time to time, I will be satisfied."
Li Po couldn't help but laugh. What he said was very suitable for his temper. People who cherish their lives will refuse even if they refuse, but they can't help but take advantage.
Chu Suiliang secretly gave a thumbs up. Manager Fan immediately found the right path. It was true that he always said that the emperor likes smart people. It seemed that Manager Fan took it to heart.
It was already evening, and it was time for dinner. Li Po rushed to order it. While eating, he was chatting with people. No matter how serious the topic was, the atmosphere would be more relaxed.
Otherwise, he wouldn't eat here, and the chicken in his mother-in-law's house would still be waiting for him.
In recent years, the Yuen Long family’s food has been the most unpalatable. Maybe it’s because I had a Turkic woman? It’s understandable that Turkic people don’t know how to live.
The same is true for Ashina Yoshino, who can eat anything, whether it's delicious or not.
…………
The place to eat cannot be anywhere else, it must be the main hall of the mansion. The food on the table is mainly pure and simple, that is, mostly delicacies. It is obviously not a meal prepared for the emperor.
Fan Wenjin made another apology, saying that he was really guilty of not being able to offer delicacies to His Majesty to taste.
At this time, only the monarch and his ministers were left in the hall. Chu Suiliang originally wanted to come in, but was dragged out by Luo Shixin. He suddenly realized that he had lost his sight and thanked General Luo repeatedly outside.
Li Po picked up the mushroom for a few seconds, drank a few sips of tea, and then said slowly: "Are you still happy with me here?"
Without waiting for Fan Wenjin to speak, he continued: "You don't have to think too much, I didn't conquer this world by myself. How could we accomplish anything without your help?
Now that the world is at peace, for you, gorgeous houses and beautiful houses are within easy reach, but I don’t know how much of your ambition you still have when you followed me to bring peace to the world?"
