It's very unkind for the couple to talk about each other's shortcomings behind their backs.
However, Empress Xiao's fate was still decided in the simple words of the couple. In fact, they both understood that if Empress Xiao returned to her hometown in Chang'an, they would have done their best to be benevolent and righteous.
The Xiao family will naturally handle the rest. No matter what happens, the Xiao family will have to bear the consequences. The Xiao family in Chang'an is dominated by Xiao Yu, who is Empress Xiao's younger brother. There is no need for the couple to worry about anything.
The most politically significant thing about this is that no matter what, the Lanling Xiao family must be grateful to Li Po for protecting Queen Xiao, and more importantly, for not letting their shame fall on the ground.
Secondly, if we attack Xiao Mian someday, we can find an excuse to ask him to come over and pay homage to Empress Xiao. The two of them are seriously related.
The main reason why Empress Xiao was able to live in such a large mansion was that she established some relationships with the Han Palace when she was in Jinyang, especially Li Chun, the eldest lady of the Han Palace, who had a close relationship with Empress Xiao.
Since the relationship is good, it is natural to get something in return. Otherwise, Yang Liang's palace of the Han Dynasty would have been empty back then.
…………………………
The food and wine were quickly put on the table. The dishes prepared by the chef chosen by Li Bi must be in line with Li Po's taste, but Li Po was not very hungry. He just drank some soup and had a few more glasses with Li Bi.
He has always been very restrained when it comes to drinking and sex. When he feels he is done drinking, he will not drink again. He has never been so drunk that he fell unconscious.
"My husband was looking for me. What did he say?"
Li Po immediately took action, "What else can you say? You said you are the same, you have been back for so long and you haven't told the teacher about your appointment?
When I asked Teacher Li today, he didn't even think of what to do. He was so anxious that he went out to Beijing to lead troops and make some achievements. Do you think Teacher is so old, can he bear to go out to lead troops?"
Li Bi felt dizzy. Thinking about her father's ambitions in the early years, she no longer doubted him. "I can't accept him. My mother-in-law just came to tell me that although I have been in fear these past few years, my father is here."
Being by her side, even if... we are together, is better than the difficult time she had in Chang'an when her grandfather was an official away from home.
If I go out to lead the army, not to mention my grandpa’s physical discomfort, my mother-in-law will be the first to blame me... Oh, she does blame me. My brothers and brothers-in-law all want to use this to become famous, and I don’t want to see them...
It would have been better if I had talked to Grandpa earlier."
Li Po grinned and said to himself that he knew it was like this. Fortunately, he was smart, otherwise he would have to fight again. How could he survive in his current state?
Now, let this woman talk to her grandpa. She can't beat her father too. Thinking of this, Li Po couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Look, how bad Li Jing is in life and work. Li Po turned around and sold him, but Li Jing was still sleeping soundly on the way back to the mansion.
Moreover, he didn't even tell Li Po that he had accepted another junior brother for him, and the sly-looking junior brother was still thinking about the King of Han's girl... Do you think what Li Jing was doing was a bit confusing?
Li Bi couldn't be more satisfied. There is no doubt about her desire for control. She likes her husband to talk things over with her the most. However, now that her husband is getting higher and higher, he will definitely not be able to go to the back hall to "listen to politics" like in the early years. Some major events
She couldn't get involved either, which was a bit regretful.
"Are there many things going on here? In ten days, there will be a great ceremony to worship the heaven. I heard that the ancient ceremony actually required a sacrifice for three years, once a year. Now that the war is going on, how can we have the time and manpower? So I told them
, this year’s sacrifice will only be done once. If God is not satisfied, wait until the world is at peace and then make up for it..."
As they talked, the couple laughed. Li Bi glanced at her husband angrily, "After the ceremony, your husband will be the emperor, but you can't talk so freely anymore. God really wants to blame you, how can you do it?"
Li Po nodded, but he didn't care in his heart. If God were really effective, the world would not be in such chaos. So many people begged him for help, but he never came true. I just said a few words to him, and he just said it.
Fire?
If that's the case, maybe that guy Yang Guang usurped the throne...
The couple talked for a long time about whether they wanted to hook up or not. Li Po had no intention of returning to Liangyi Palace, so he stayed overnight in the palace for the first time.
I woke up the next day feeling refreshed. I had breakfast at Hanliang Hall and nagged my wife a few words to ask her to move out quickly. It was already autumn weather and the summer resort had become extremely cold. Don’t worry.
Body.
The genius Meng Mengliang strolled back to Liangyi Palace. On the road, Li Po sighed with emotion about his diligence. He got up earlier than a chicken, worked more than an ox, and slept later than a dog. He didn't know what he would do after he became the emperor.
It won't get better, it will continue to "get worse".
The road was not peaceful either. Occasionally, people would come towards me. When I saw them, I would hide by the roadside and worship them. It was really different from last night.
The behavior may be elegant, dignified, or charming, the spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums are blooming in front of the eyes, and the ages are also different, some are only 14 or 15 years old, and some are in their twenties and are in the prime of youth.
Everyone was shy and timid, hesitating to speak, looking forward to it... It wasn't until he was out of the palace that Li Po sniffed, as if there was still a faint scent of rouge lingering on his nose.
How can there be such a battle in the Han Palace in Jinyang? I can't blame everyone for wanting to be the emperor. Just the benefits of passing on the family line can make people all over the world flock to him.
Of course, for Li Po, this can only be regarded as a good episode. Again, there are too many things waiting for him and he has no time to tangle with women.
………………………………
Fang Xuanling took two servants and carried food boxes, and after several inquiries and inspections by the sergeants, they entered the Youtunwei Mansion where the surrendered prisoners were escorted.
There are several places like this in Chang'an now. Fang Xuanling stayed there and was released just over a month ago. Logically speaking, he should stay at home and wait for the new dynasty to requisition him. But who would let Fang Qiao's friends
How much?
When friends are in crisis, even if you are in a bad situation, you still have to stand up and send warmth to your friends. Otherwise, those who only add to the cake will not be able to make many close friends.
Fang Xuanling has a good reputation, and it is even more impossible for her to ignore her friends.
Most of the people here in Youtunwei Mansion are surrendered ministers from Tongguan. In fact, Fang Xuanling also knows what they are waiting for here. After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, most of these people will be re-appointed. Compared with those in Prince Qin's Mansion,
The situation of the captured people was actually much better.
After all, they sacrificed Tongguan, not the prisoners who were actually captured on the battlefield.
Most of them were Li Jiancheng's gang members. The Li Shimin brothers fought too hard. No matter how many friends Fang Xuanling had, he couldn't make friends with everyone in the East Palace, so he came to see the former Jinzhou Sima Li Daliang.
Of course, Li Daliang was a descendant of Li Mi, and later met Fang Xuanling in Chang'an. It was precisely because of Fang Xuanling's introduction that he became known to the King of Qin, Li Shimin, and recommended him as Sima of Jinzhou.
With such a connection, it stands to reason that they should be very close, right? In fact, this is not the case. Fang Xuanling served as Sima in the Palace of the King of Qin, and was responsible for selecting talents for the King of Qin. He recommended countless people, and many of them were very willing.
Li Daliang was one of them who recommended themselves to him.
Even though he is not a close friend, he made a special trip to visit Li Daliang this time, obviously on someone's behalf.
Speaking of Li Daliang, he was also unlucky. He did a very good job as Sima of Jinzhou and was about to be promoted soon. However, when he was escorting grain and grass to Yongfeng warehouse, he was left by Princess Pingyang and served as the guardian of Yongfeng warehouse.
Later, when the Jin army crossed the river, Li Xiuning sent him to Tongguan to deliver a message to Prince Li Jiancheng, asking him to send troops to aid Feng Yi.
So this unlucky guy was trapped in Tongguan. After an accident, he became a surrender inexplicably and was sent back to Chang'an.
Originally, there were only a few minor officials like him among the surrendered ministers in Tongguan. After most of them were captured, they were screened and appointed on the spot, or were released back to their hometowns, without being specially escorted to Chang'an.
But this person was not only from the Li clan in Longxi, but also a subordinate of Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang, so he was brought back along with him.
You call it unlucky or not, there are others who come to check on him from time to time, but Li Daliang is alone, and because this guy is involved with the Li family, no one wants to talk to him, for fear of getting into trouble...
Compared with when he followed Li Mi to surrender to Tang Dynasty, he was even worse.
Fang Xuanling's two servants were blocked outside, and Fang Xuanling struggled to carry two food boxes to the front of the house where Li Daliang lived.
The place we live in is not bad, at least it's not too bad.
It's just that Li Daliang is not as generous as Cheng Zhijie. At this moment, he is writing something on the table with a pen in hand. Looking at his frown, you can tell that what he writes is definitely not relaxed and happy.
Fang Xuanling came in and called a few times, and Li Daliang ran out without wearing shoes. When he saw it was Fang Xuanling, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes instantly became moist... He still had the slightest trace of what he had when he was in Yongfengcang.
Reserved and restrained? Apparently he has been imprisoned for a long time.
There is no need to doubt the "rich feelings" of people who have hung out in Henan. Li Daliang came up and grabbed Fang Xuanling's arm, "Why is Brother Fang here? Are you here to see me?"
Fang Xuanling was in pain from being caught, so she quickly patted the other person's hand and comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, come and carry this over. This is the meal prepared by my mother-in-law herself. Let's talk while eating."
Li Daliang said hello repeatedly.
He has no acquaintances in Chang'an, and he is about to be forgotten here. He is really tired of eating and sleeping. Who did you write the letter to before? It was written to Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang. Under normal circumstances,
Next, who can ask Princess Pingyang for help now?
But he just did it. Wasn't he desperate? With his IQ, could he do this? But even after he finished writing, he didn't know who to send the letter. Do you think it was miserable?
Meeting Fang Xuanling now is like meeting a savior...
