Tian Zhen and Teng Mu did not go to Shule Town to take office. They walked around the streets of Qiuci every day, and then went to wine shops to drink.
One day they were sitting in Hu Ji's wine shop. They had just bought a bucket of Sanlejiang and took a swig from the wine cup. Three guards of the Duhufu Palace walked in from outside the door, one of them was Lu Qian, the leader of the Guard Brigade.
The two of them were acquainted with Lu Qian, and they didn't know about the quarrel between this man and Li Siye, so they bowed their hands to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian closed his eyes and smiled, put away the cold contempt in his expression, and sat in front of the two of them.
"You two are still not in office? Following Li Siye has delayed you."
Tian Zhen heard that his words sounded wrong, so she put down her wine bowl and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "You don't need to worry about this matter, we will make our own decision."
"Of course I don't need to worry about the future of you two. I just feel sorry for you. There is no way out for you following Li Siye. He is unlucky. Under the hands of Lai Yao Duhu, he will never be able to get ahead in his life.
, do you also want to follow him and live in vain? Time waits for no one, so you two are not going to make contributions while you are young, but you are here drinking to drown your sorrows? "
Tian Zhen said in a cold tone: "What nonsense are you talking about? Li Siye is just in trouble for a moment, how can he never get ahead in his life?"
Lu Qian snorted with a slightly cold expression: "Ignorant people! You two don't know yet, something big happened in Chang'an City! The prince of the East Palace was ordered to die by the emperor, and the East Palace is about to be replaced. Li Siye used to be
He is a close confidant of the Crown Prince. He will also be in bad luck if the Crown Prince dies. Do you think the Governor of Laiyao will still use him?"
The two of them had no time to be surprised and looked at each other in silence. Lu Qian took the opportunity to fan the flames and said: "Li Siye's ship has sunk to the bottom. Do you want to sink with him? You two also have real skills in their hands. They can go anywhere.
You can be a captain. I, Lu Qian, am also a person who loves talents. If you two are not abandoned, you can serve as a commander under me in the Duhufu Guards. When the captain is promoted in the future, you will be promoted.
"
Tian Zhen and Fujimu looked on coldly, Lu Qian fully demonstrated what a villain looks like with an arrogant expression, and what kind of future there is for following such a villain without any scheming.
Fujimaki immediately refused coldly: "Tian Zhen and I accept the kindness of Captain Lu. However, for us, the more important thing is the friendship of friends. For people like you, you will never understand us."
of……"
Tian Zhen stood up and pulled Teng Mu away from the bench: "Come on, what are you talking about with him here?"
The two of them walked out of the wine shop as if there was no one around. Lu Qian couldn't hold his face anymore, and with a ferocious look on his face, he threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground and broke it into eight pieces.
"I don't know how to praise! Let's be buried with Li Siye!"
The two returned to the courtyard where Li Siye lived in Qiuci Town. When they entered the door, they saw him playing with a pile of fluffy white things, which seemed to have been picked from plants.
Tian Zhen looked solemn and said coldly: "Something happened in Chang'an, do you know?"
Li Siye took off a bow from the wall, played the white hair on the carpet with the bow string, and asked expressionlessly: "What happened?"
"The prince was killed by his father! Your backer is gone!"
Li Siye strummed his bow string rhythmically, without looking back when he spoke: "The prince is not my supporter."
"If you tell me that I believe this, how can others believe it?"
"I know what you are worried about, so don't worry, Governor Laiyao will give me what I need."
Tian Zhen was confused when she heard this. She didn't know who to believe, him or Lu Qian. According to the customs of human relationships, once the prince died, how could the governor appoint him? He was just a powerless little officer. He was in the prince's inner circle.
Rate's qualifications will only hinder him.
"Why are you so sure?"
Li Siye smiled and said nothing, continuing to tinker with the cotton in front of him.
Fujimaki asked curiously: "What is this?"
"Cotton is still very rare in the Central Plains. It is also grown in Anxi, but it is not popular yet. I plan to use it to make a quilt. At least I won't have to be cold in the coming winter."
Tian Zhen snorted in dissatisfaction, you are so trapped that you still don't worry about your future and are doing these useless gadgets here.
Laiyao did have the intention of appointing Li Siye. When he came to Anxi and appointed him as a brigade commander, it was indeed for the prince's sake. However, this Li Siye did make him have a strong interest. When he served as a close minister to the prince, he could arouse the sage's attention.
Fear. As soon as he came to Anxi, he won the praise and favor of Gao Xianzhi. If Li Siye was really incompetent, he wouldn't mind the villain who followed him. Now that the prince is dead, he doesn't have to think about offending Li Linfu.
Since Gao Xianzhi likes this young man very much, it is better to arrange to go to him and let Gao Xianzhi arrange a tour for him.
He immediately ordered someone to call over Xiao Ting, who was a member of the military affairs department. This was his confidant and he was willing to seek his opinions on many matters.
Lai Yao immediately said to Xiao Ting: "Send someone to call Li Siye over. I am going to send him to Gao Xianzhi and give him a position as a brigade commander."
Xiao Ting nodded, turned around and was about to walk out, but stopped hesitantly.
Lai Yao turned around and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
Xiao Ting bowed and crossed his hands and said: "I am just asking if the Protector has considered the attitude of Xianggong Li in the court and the palace."
Lai Yao smiled warmly: "I have already considered this. Even if he was once a confidant of the prince, now that the prince is dead, what can they, the prince's old friends, do? Besides, Li Siye has only been working for a few months.
Even if Li Xianggong deliberately wants to eliminate the old people in the East Palace, Li Siye is far away in Anxi, what influence will he have on them?"
Xiao Ting came closer and asked in a low voice: "Did the Governor of Lai have any guesses? Why did Li Siye lead his troops from the crown prince to this bitter cold Qixi?"
Lai Yao stroked his beard and said, "Of course I know this, he is..."
He suddenly woke up: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Ting nodded firmly: "My subordinates heard that Li Siye was highly valued by the prince when he was in the East Palace. I also heard that the prince had been framed by Concubine Wu Hui several times. It was only because of a strange person under the East Palace who gave the prince advice that the prince was able to avert danger.
How can such a person not be hated by Empress Hui? Even if the Protector has a love for talents and wants to promote Li Siye, he must not let anyone notice it."
Lai Yao's thoughts were moved, and he raised his head and asked Xiao Ting: "In your opinion, how should Li Siye be placed?"
"Li Siye's official position is from the seventh rank, so a real vacancy from the seventh rank should be placed in a remote area of the Anxi Army. This way he can be given a position without offending Concubine Wu Hui."
"Is there such a vacancy in our Anxi army?"
Xiao Ting already had some calculations in his mind, but he pretended to think about it, and then a flash of light flashed in his mind and he said: "Yes, Cong Ling's commander died of illness just last month while taking office, and we haven't arranged a suitable candidate yet, why not
Let Li Siye be placed in Congling as a guard. Such a small border guard will naturally not attract the attention of the court."
Lai Yao thought for a moment and finally made a decision: "Let's do it this way. Send someone to call Li Siye immediately."
