Li Siye held the wine glass and carefully studied the changes in Yang Zhao's expression in front of him. Although he tried his best to show that he didn't care about the matter, the strength of his grip on the wine cup and the contemptuous breath from his nostrils had exposed his
Real thoughts.
This move to divert disaster to the east was indeed successful, and this is of course due to Yang Guozhong himself.
This man's mind is not much broader than that of Li Linfu, and he is the kind of person who imagines first and plans later. He has only entered Chang'an for a few days and has no concrete career plan yet, but his career imagination has already begun to run wild.
The military governor who leads a certain place is also ready to defeat the imaginary enemy he has set up for himself.
He originally regarded Li Siye as an imaginary enemy, fearing that the other party would use the favor of saving Yang Guifei to continue to demand from the Yang family and keep rising. He was also afraid that he would surpass him in the future and occupy the power that originally belonged to him.
In the eyes of some people, the world is black and white, and anyone whose official position or ability exceeds theirs seems to be an inner demon or stumbling block that blocks their progress.
But his firepower has changed now, because Li Siye is no longer afraid. Although he saved his cousin Yang Yuhuan, Concubine Yang did not show gratitude or special favor today. It may be due to the reason that he saved her life in the past.
It must be Princess Shou. Although they are the same person, there is a subtle embarrassment between their identities.
Li Siye really couldn't be an imaginary enemy. His jealousy and anger had found a new target. There was a shameless guy who had begun to claim to be Yang Yuhuan's son. He had already used Concubine Yang's relationship to become the governor of Pinglu and Fanyang towns.
How much power will he have in the future, and will he become prime minister?
Even though Yang Zhao is a low-key person and started relatively late, from today on, he must keep an eye on this person. He must not let him get any advantage from the Yang family, and he must not let a flattering clown keep him far away.
The ground was thrown behind him.
This An Lushan is his current imaginary enemy.
He glanced at Li Siye who was drinking alcohol in front of him again, and thought that this person in front of him still had some value. Now he was the deputy governor, and he might be the military governor in the future. If he were used as a foreign aid, he could be used to target those who mistakenly identify their mothers.
Fatty An. Although it won't play a big role, it still has its use value.
Yang Zhao picked up the wine cup and greeted Li Siye: "Li Lang, I heard something. Back then, you saved Princess Shou from a frightened horse. You can be regarded as the benefactor of our Yang family. From now on, Yang Zhao will treat you as a close friend. I
How about we help each other while you are in the court and you are outside?"
Li Siye quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands and looked moved and sincerely said: "Since Brother Yang thinks so highly of me, Li Siye, Siye naturally does not dare to delay, and should follow my brother's lead."
"Haha, okay." Yang Zhao smiled proudly: "Siye, you are too humble, but if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. I have many conveniences in the court, and I will also help you in front of the saint.
Kind words.”
"Oh, of course, definitely."
The two of them were full of wine and meat. Yang Zhao stood up from the ground with his hand on the corner of the table, but his body staggered. He put his right hand on his forehead and said, "Oh my god, I didn't expect that the wine was quite strong!"
He waved his hands and smiled at Li Siye: "You don't need to help me, we can go our separate ways."
Li Siye watched him walk out of the wine shop, stood at the threshold and watched his retreating figure, and snorted coldly: "You still want to use me, you are not qualified to be a villain. Anyway, sooner or later you will have to fight with An Lushan
When it comes to fighting, it’s better to get started early and get a feel for it first.”
…
He walked quickly on the main street of Danfengmen Street, still thinking in his mind. The matter of giving gifts to the court has been solved. The title of Gaoling County Prince and the title of deputy governor should be issued quickly. When he receives the decree,
After that, he had no reason to stay in Chang'an.
He seemed to have something to do before leaving Chang'an, but he had no clue in his head, so he decided to go back to Anxiliu's backyard for the time being.
Entering through the back door of the courtyard, Yan Xiaosi and others were washing horse hair in the courtyard, and others were cutting fodder. Captain Zhao, who was in charge of the affairs of the courtyard, came forward, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to him with both hands:
"General Li, an unknown person handed this through the crack of the door in the evening."
Li Siye took the letter, turned around and returned to his room. He took out a knife from his waist and opened the envelope. He turned the envelope upside down and shook it. Nothing came out. Looking through the back of the hard yellow paper, he saw that the overlapping and pasted
There is a row of small black seals written on the inside of the envelope, which is almost legible.
He simply opened the envelope and saw that it read: Tomorrow is no time, Jinglongguan.
The prince's speed of information source surprised him. He had only been in Chang'an for a few days, and he had only presented the fragrant imperial concubine's bed today, but he already knew about it.
It was Li Mi and Huangfu Weiming who met him last time. Maybe the prince will come in person this time.
In the room where the light was getting darker, Li Siye took off his tinder hat, put the tinder to his mouth and blew it gently. The dark red light suddenly lit up, and a flame quickly ignited. He put the flame to the oil lamp,
The huge light gradually filled the dim room.
He touched the opened envelope to a fire and ignited it, then threw it into the brazier underground and watched it turn into a pile of ashes.
…
The weeds in Jinglongguan are lush in summer. It was originally a residence of Princess Anle Li Guoer. After Li Guoer was executed, the court changed it to Jinglongguan. However, because of its large area, it occupied only two squares.
The land was left idle, leaving a large area of land idle. The imperial court wanted to divide it and sell it, but the dignitaries were unwilling to buy it because of the bad luck of the place, and the poor families could not afford it. Over time, Jinglongguan became the most natural building in Chang'an City.
group.
Li Siye stopped for a moment. The stone path was covered with green grass, and the pavilions on both sides were entangled and covered with ivy. Children often wandered among them, but the Taoist priests found them and drove them out.
He passed through the canopy of canopies and pavilions, and the buildings built on the hills were already in sight, surrounded by white walls, which isolated the wildly growing nature around them. This is what a Taoist temple should look like, blending into nature and complementing each other.
There were two Taoist boys standing outside the door, with faces like white porcelain and delicate eyebrows. They held whisks in their hands, but their eyes were searching the ground. A squirrel stood at their feet, holding pine cones in their hands to eat. The Taoist boys raised their feet to tease the squirrel.
Squirrel was interrupted by another Taoist boy's boo, reminding him that the guest was coming.
"Where does your distinguished guest come from?"
Li Siye replied cautiously and politely: "I come from the west."
The two looked at each other in a daze and asked him: "Is your distinguished guest General Li Siye?"
"That's right."
"Please come with me."
He followed the Taoist boy into the building and went up the wooden stairs. The fence on the second floor surrounded the hanging bell and statues. The Taoist boy led him upstairs and then turned back down, standing in front of the next door to greet him.
But it was a maid wearing a short bun and white clothes.
Li Siye guessed that she was a servant, but in terms of temperament and beauty, this woman did not look like a simple maid.
With a smile on her lips, she led Li Siye to the next door and opened the door with both hands. Li Heng and Li Mi were both sitting in the booth, sitting cross-legged on the table. Next to Li Mi, there was a maid squatting.
Use a piece of Juanpa to hold up the lid of the tea pot, and the fragrance of the tea pot will come out.
The window sash against the wall is wide open, and the thick greenery from the tree canopy outside is reflected in the house.
Li Siye looked back at the maid outside the door, and then at the maid next to Li Mi. Little Li Mi seemed to have been replaced. He remembered that the last time he met him, the appearance of the maid was somewhat of Hu people. This time this one
Obviously not.
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Do nobles like to take secretaries with them when they go out these days? Li Mi has one secretary for each prince. If there is such a need, he should point it out in advance. He even spends a little more money to temporarily hire one at a brothel to look more in tune.
He stood at the door, bowed and crossed his hands: "The last general Li Siye has met with the crown prince.
"Siye, there's no need to be formal. I'm waiting for you. Come and sit down." The prince pointed to his right side with a smile. Li Siye took off his Liuhe boots and walked over, kneeling on the ground.
The maid standing at the door held his boots and put them aside. She also took off her flip-up shoes. She walked into the cubicle with white footbags on her small feet. She turned around and pulled the door shut with her hands.
Li Heng's maid was of high quality, and she didn't mind the smell of his shoes. He straightened his back and prepared to let the maid pass behind him, but he didn't expect that she actually knelt down beside him.
