Chapter 722 The posture of the children, the court is in danger
Li Chongyun walked out of the Linshui Pavilion with his hands behind his back, his eyes always stayed on the girl's face, he cupped his hands towards her and said: "My horse is not for sale. If the young lady really likes it, I can give it to you as a gift."
When the girl heard such words, she seemed particularly angry and asked, "Do you know what kind of horse this is?"
"Of course I know. This is a big food horse. It is resistant to cold and hunger and thirst. It has long endurance and can run for hundreds of miles without getting tired. Because it comes from a distant country, it is extremely valuable."
The girl cocked her lips proudly and said with a smile: "You know it's valuable and you still give it away casually. Could it be that you don't have enough brains?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Chongyun argued excitedly: "I still have many horses like this at home. Today, I just have a chance to give you a gift, my little lady. If you don't know how to treat me well, then I'd better ride it myself."
"You have such a loud tone." The girl said with some annoyance: "My imperial ancestor... my grandfather's horse farm only has a few hundred horses, and you dare to say that there are many. Are you trying to make people laugh by pretending to be fat?
"
"You don't believe it...forget it, I'm just being modest when I say a lot, but you yourself are quite sensible in what you say, and you come to accuse others."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the water pretending to be angry.
When Li Jingzhong saw something was wrong, why did he start fighting when we first met? How could he let us work together in the future? It seemed that the old slave had to intervene in person.
He raised his head and said to his princess: "Madam, since this young master is willing to offer the horse, why don't you accept it first. If Madam feels sorry, we can reward him with something else when we go back. It can be regarded as a reciprocity.
"
After hearing this, the girl turned over and jumped down before Li Jingzhong could climb over and get on the horse pier, which scared him so much that he hurried over to protect her.
"Get out of the way." She pushed Li Jingzhong, who was approaching, and actually grabbed Wu Zui's reins to turn over, but the stirrups were too high? Her long skirt was quite inconvenient? Jingzhong stepped forward to protect him with both hands.
Climbing up, Wu Zui exhaled white air and shook his neck? Li Jingzhong turned pale with fright.
Li Chongyun quickly ran out of Linshui Pavilion. He reached out and grabbed the horse's rein, and Wu Hao quickly calmed down.
The look of panic on the girl's face flashed away? Then she asked him with a smile: "Why, are you regretting it now?"
"Of course not? This horse has a bit of a strong temper? Madam, you have to be careful." Li Chongyun raised his head and looked at the girl whose tone became softer, with a shy trembling.
"Thank you, of course I can't ask for your horse in vain? Where do you live? I will send someone to give you some rewards someday."
"I..." He pointed at his face and said, "I am temporarily staying at the Xiliang County Prince's residence in Guangfufang. Reward? No need to give back."
The girl had already pulled the reins to turn the horse's head, and Li Jingzhong also led the bay-red horse away with her, turning back and giving Li Chongyun a meaningful smile.
Li Chongyun felt lost, watching the light and agile figure on the horse gradually go away and disappear at the end of the willow trees on the grassy slope.
In the hibiscus garden on the bank of Qujiang Pond, Princess Yonghe happily combed her silky horse mane with her fingers. She lowered her head and asked Li Jingzhong next to her: "He just said that he lives in the Xiliang County Prince's Mansion in Guangfu Fang. Then he is Li Siye."
Who?"
Li Jingzhong smiled and asked: "Who does the princess think he is?"
"Living in the prince's mansion? And being able to ride such a precious horse, he must be Li Siye's son."
"The princess is really smart as ice and snow? You can guess right."
"Li Siye once captured many war horses in Dashi? He also selected hundreds of good horses and presented them to the imperial grandfather? He was certainly not lying when he said that he had many Dashi horses at home. I heard that he sent his son to Beijing to compete with our royal family.
If they get married, whose sister will be his wife?"
Li Jingzhong crossed her hands and replied: "He is the eldest son of Li Siye, and he is very handsome. The person who can marry him must be a smart and beautiful princess."
Princess Yonghe didn't speak, she just lowered her head and tugged at her horse's mane and thought. Li Jingzhong deliberately slowed down, looked at her back and nodded with satisfaction.
…
In the Jiaotai Hall of Xingqing Palace, the emperor was sitting lazily on the dragon couch. Gao Lishi was kneeling on the ground with a fly whisk in his hands. Behind him stood the right prime minister Yang Guozhong and the left prime minister Wei Jiansu.
"My servant did not know people well, which caused his subordinates to commit the crime of deceiving the king. Please punish him."
"What's going on?" The emperor was still confused. He raised his hand and asked, "How can you recognize people so hard? Gao Lishi got up and spoke."
Gao Lishi stood up tremblingly, crossed his hands and said: "My servant has secretly visited Zhuan Lin recently, and learned from his servants that he received a large amount of money from An Lushan after entering Fanyang, so what he said when he came back to report to your majesty cannot be trusted.
."
Li Longji said angrily: "Come here, take Xuan Lin to me and torture her severely, and then send her to Dali Temple Prison for execution!"
When Wei Jiansu heard this, he quickly stepped forward to dissuade him: "No, Your Majesty, An Lushan has always had eyes and ears in Chang'an. If Chuan Lin is executed for this matter, An Lushan will be afraid and will not dare to enter the court. He should be temporarily imprisoned and then
Get rid of it with other things."
The emperor gradually put away the anger in his eyes, leaned back on the bed and hummed: "I will do as you say."
Yang Guozhong stepped forward and said: "Another person should be sent to express condolences. I recommend Pei Shiyan to go to Fanyang to find out the whereabouts of Anlu Mountain."
"Okay, let's send Pei Shiyan."
"Also, Your Majesty." Yang Guozhong followed up and said: "We also sent people to secretly investigate Yu Chaoen, the internal minister. Although we did not find that he had accepted a large amount of bribes, if we were to interrogate him in secret, we would definitely find out that he had accepted bribes.
Li Siye’s generous gifts of property.”
Before he finished speaking, Gao Lishi and Wei Jiansu both turned their heads and glanced warningly, but Yang Guozhong was always stubborn and did not care about the deep meaning in these two eyes. The emperor waved his hand coldly: "Okay, don't cause any more trouble. Just
Send Fan Shiyan to Hebei to express condolences. Everyone, please retreat."
After everyone looked at each other, they slowly retreated. The emperor rubbed the corners of his eyes tiredly, looking at the courtiers who had caused trouble to him with boredom, and then looked back at the bead-curtained moon cave door behind the screen.
The charming Yang Yuhuan raised the curtain and looked at her with eyes, then put down the curtain and turned inward.
Time flies by, and the beauty in front of you needs to be cherished, otherwise the prosperity will wither in a hurry, and no matter how beautiful it is, you can only remember it.
…
When Pei Shiyan got the order, he immediately left the capital and rushed to Fanyang. When he arrived in Youzhou City, he was placed in the post by An Lushan's people but there was no movement. He asked again and again, but the other party claimed that Dr. An was ill.
, it is inconvenient to see the Holy Envoy.
He waited anxiously in the post house for nearly twenty days without even seeing An Lushan's staff. If he kept waiting like this, things might change easily. It would be better to decide to leave and return to Chang'an to see how An Lushan reacted.
This move of retreating into advancement worked immediately. The next day, An Lushan sent someone to invite him to the Jiedu Envoy's residence to meet him.
An Lushan ordered people to open the middle door of the mansion to welcome the holy envoy. Pei Shiyan lowered his head and looked sideways at the soldiers lined up on the left and right. They all looked distant and indifferent, full of arrogance. It was true that Hebei had many arrogant and powerful generals.
From the main gate to the cross-courtyard door, then to the inner courtyard door to the main hall, there were five posts on both sides of the stone-paved passage. The soldiers were all wearing iron armor with swords hanging on their waists. He had no chance to see what was going on in the rest of the mansion.
He stepped over the threshold and entered the hall. He looked up and saw An Lushan sitting on the tiger-skin-covered beech bed in the center, with his legs spread apart and his belly bulging. His eyelids were swollen and droopy, with a look of disdain. Next to him stood a solemn and noble counselor, and further away
Standing on the left and right are An Shouzhong and Ashina Chengqing.
The jade ring on An Lushan's index finger was slightly raised, and the four people around him immediately knelt down on one knee and crossed their hands and said, "My lord, I will finally pay homage to the Holy Envoy."
Before Pei Shiyan had time to speak, the four of them had already stood up on their own, their faces completely motionless after recovering from paralysis.
An Lushan said with a dry voice: "Holy envoy, please forgive me. I am seriously ill and cannot practice the etiquette of being a minister for the time being. These subordinates of mine have lived in the barbaric land of Hebei for a long time. Over time, they are even unfamiliar with the etiquette of the court."
It doesn’t make sense. Since it is a consolation, An has felt the care of the Holy Grace and will devote himself to it, so the Holy Envoy can go back and resume his life."
Pei Shiyan frowned. He just walked in and rushed out without saying a word?
