As soon as Yang Guozhong finished speaking, Wei Jiansu, who was standing aside, frowned as if he had a toothache. Li Longji's eyes moved slightly, pointed at Wei Jiansu and asked, "Does Wei Qing have something to say?"
Wei Jiansu raised his tooth wat and was about to speak when he saw Yang Guozhong next to him squinting coldly, like a sinister weasel staring at the poultry. This made him tremble all over, hesitantly moved his steps and said: "Li Siye is standing on the right side of Longlong.
With His Majesty's trust, he will remain loyal regardless of whether his son is brought to Chang'an as a hostage... But since the Right Prime Minister proposed that his son come to Chang'an to choose a bride, in order not to make An Lushan suspicious, it is better to have a bowl of water.
Well, it is a safe move for Your Majesty to send the eldest sons of each side to Chang'an."
"That's right," Yang Guozhong continued to add: "His Majesty has always treated An Lushan as well as Li Siye. He named him the Prince of Dongping County and the Prince of Xiliang County. He not only rewarded the generals of Hebei, but also generously rewarded him.
To reward the generals of Longyou, now An Qingzong, the son of An Lushan, chooses a daughter from the royal family to marry him generously. Naturally, he can also choose a daughter of a prince to marry Li Siye's son Li Chongyun, and then reward him with a high official and a generous salary."
Li Longji twirled his beard and asked, "How old is Li Siye's eldest son?"
Yang Guozhong replied: "Eunuch Bian once served as a supervisor in Li Siye's army all year round. He knows the current situation in the family of the Xiliang County prince. Why doesn't your Majesty summon him to ask?"
Bian Lingcheng was temporarily staying with Li Longji as the Minister of Internal Affairs. The emperor immediately nodded and ordered: "Ask Bian Lingcheng, the Minister of Internal Affairs, to go to the palace and speak."
Eunuch Yuan Siyi ordered a young eunuch next to him to run errands. After waiting for a while, Bian Lingcheng had already crossed the dragon threshold with small steps, trotted forward and came to the imperial court. He knelt down and crossed his hands and said, "I'm here to greet you, Your Majesty."
Li Longji leaned forward from his chair and asked: "Bian Lingcheng, you have served as Li Siye's military supervisor for many years. Do you know the name and age of his eldest son?"
Bian Lingcheng raised his head and looked at the Yang Guozhong comrades around him. He probably understood what was going on, and answered honestly: "Li Siye's eldest son is named Li Chongle, and he will be thirteen years old."
He had served as a military supervisor in Anbeiting for five years. He had a close relationship with Li Siye and knew the members of his family well. He even knew that Li Siye's two sons and one daughter were adopted, and only the youngest son was Li's biological child. But he was the supervisor.
During the period when the army was in the northwest court, Li Siye treated him very kindly and gave him a lot of money behind his back. As long as your majesty didn't insist on asking, he would be very happy to give him this favor? There will definitely be generous rewards when he returns it in the future.
Right Minister Yang Guozhong asked in more detail: "Is this Li Chongyun the legitimate son of his wife? Or the bastard of his concubine?"
Bian Lingcheng raised his head calmly and said: "The prince of Xiliang County only has his wife and princess in his family? There are no concubines."
"That's good." Yang Guozhong crossed his hands and said: "I suggest that Li Siye's son be named the Shaofu Qing of the School, and his mother Li be named the Lady of Liangzhou? Choose a young daughter of the same age from the kings? Make the princess the princess and grant marriage."
The emperor said hesitantly: "It would be too early to grant a marriage when you are only thirteen years old."
"If your Majesty thinks it's early? You can issue a letter of engagement and a letter of gift first? Then accept the offer? Ask for the name, accept the offer, accept the offer, wait until the date of application, and extend it for another year and a half? Then of course you can get married."
"Very good?" The emperor nodded in agreement: "Then we will set up messengers to go to Yingzhou and Liangzhou respectively, summon Anqing Zong and Li Chongyun to come to Chang'an to confer marriage, and then withdraw."
All the ministers shouted: "Your Majesty has blessed the heavens with great blessings. I will retire."
The ministers slowly backed away, holding Chao Huts in hand. After exiting the threshold of the main hall, they turned around and walked along the Longwei Road towards the outside of the palace gate.
It was the twelfth lunar month of the thirteenth year when the emperor agreed to grant the marriage. He sent two eunuchs to serve as messengers to Hexi and Fanyang respectively. It was already the first month of the fourteenth year of Tianbao.
…
In February of the 14th year of Tianbao, the eunuch Yu Chaoen led a marriage conferment team to Wuwei City in Liangzhou. Li Siye received the envoy from the imperial court in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.
Yu Chaoen slowly entered the hall and saw Li Siye sitting in front of the screen. He stepped forward and crossed his hands to meet each other: "How are you doing, Doctor Li? Your Majesty has sent me to be the messenger to send you off. Please come out and talk to me, the eldest son."
The expression on Li Siye's face was quite unpleasant, and he asked sternly: "Who is the saint going to marry, and whose idea is it?"
Yu Chaoen lowered his head and smiled implicitly: "I'm just an errand boy. How can I know the decisions made in the court? But now that the right-hand minister Yang Guozhong is in power, naturally all government orders are issued by the Zhongshu Province."
"Your eldest son, Li Chongyun, is blessed. The saint has given him the title of official inspector and a junior minister, and he also wants to marry the daughter of Sheng Wang Li Qi, Princess Yi, to him. In order to facilitate travel, please go to Chang'an with your maidservants to accept the enshrinement. Hurry up.
Sir, please come out so that I can declare your decree."
Tian Zhen, the Jiedu judge sitting at the top left, said angrily: "Is this your Majesty's decree or Yang Zhao's instruction? Do you want such a blessing?"
Yu Chaoen turned to Tian Zhen and crossed his arms with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant: "This general is joking. A slave is just a mutilated body and is not qualified to marry and have children. Your son can marry the royal family. Isn't this a blessing?"
Tian Zhen wanted to teach the eunuch a few words, but Li Siye raised his hand to stop him and said to Yu Chaoen in a gentle tone: "Your Majesty's marriage is too sudden. Please let me go down to make preparations first. Your envoy please go to Wuwei City Center Post to rest."
How many days."
"In that case," Yu Chaoen lowered his head gently, but suddenly said solemnly to Li Siye, crossing his hands: "I have a message for you, I wonder if it is convenient for Doctor Li."
He turned his head and glanced at the subordinates of Jiedushi on the left and right with his peripheral vision. Li Siye naturally understood and stood up from the desk and waved to him: "Your Majesty, please follow me."
Li Siye led Yu Chaoen into the corridor on the left side of the main hall, walked to the end and pushed open the partition door, led him into the study, put his hands behind his back and faced the screen and said: "Whatever your envoy has to say, you can say it now.
"
Unexpectedly, Yu Chaoen made a pop and fell to his knees, with tears in his eyes and crossed his hands and said, "Do you know if my benefactor still remembers me?"
Li Siye turned around in surprise and lowered his head to identify Yu Chaoen, who was kneeling on the ground. He was a handsome man with a white face and red lips, but it was a pity that he became a eunuch with a good skin. He just felt vaguely that there was something wrong, so he had to resort to the routines commonly used in film and television dramas.
Ambiguous method: "Could it be that you are..."
Yu Chaoen said happily: "Yes, this slave is the prodigal Yu Chao'er who lived in Kucha City in the past. Fortunately, Yu Chao'er was saved by his benefactor, and Yu Chao'er was able to survive. I keep this in mind all the time, and finally got my reward today."
I wish to meet the doctor."
Li Siye nodded in surprise. It was indeed Yu Chao'er in front of him. It happened to be night when he rescued this person, and his face was not accurate. At dawn, he just asked the groom at home to arrange for him to be sent out of the city. Unexpectedly, many years later, although he was wearing
Wearing rich clothes and robes, but also losing the lifeblood of a man.
However, everyone has his own ambitions, and everyone has the right to choose his life. Over the years, he has gotten along with eunuchs, and he has gained quite a lot of experience. Although these people have lost their roots, their self-esteem is extremely sensitive and fragile. To sum up, they should not be colored.
When you look at people with disabilities through glasses, even if they have physical and personality defects, as long as you get along with them in a normal way, it is quite easy to talk to them.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, you can still be considered successful."
Yu Chaoen bowed down again and said, "If Doctor Li hadn't saved my life, how could I be where I am today?"
"Please get up quickly," Li Siye quickly helped him up from the ground: "Back then, I just did it casually. You survived the catastrophe and survived, and you are blessed today. Since you are my old friend, don't go to the post house.
Come on, there is still an empty courtyard in my Hexi Jiedu Envoy's residence. You can rest there for two days."
Yu Chaoen was deeply touched by this sentence from an old friend. After so many years, Doctor Li, as the king of Xiliang County and the official in charge of three towns, still gave the same warmth to a small eunuch of the inner court like himself.
.
"My dear benefactor, the imperial court sent me here this time. It was called as a gift of relatives and a marriage. In fact, it was to send your eldest son to Chang'an as a hostage. This plot was done by Yang Guozhong, targeting An Lushan and An Lushan, governors of three towns in Hebei Province.
My benefactor, I hope that my benefactor will make plans early. I have limited abilities and cannot solve my benefactor’s problems. I really feel guilty."
