Chapter 45 Loyalty forever
Chen Shou could clearly feel it, and gazes shot towards him.
This time he came on behalf of the General's Mansion, and his identity is worthy of others' attention.
As the last chief official with military and political power, the Western General's Mansion was actually equivalent to a vassal state. I don't know how many people in the court regard it as a thorn in their eyes.
Most of these people are civil officials, and they are afraid that military generals will have power that they cannot control.
Those who are hostile to the General's Mansion in the West are divided into two parts. One is extreme hatred and wish they could completely eradicate the General's Mansion. Liangzhou would rather give foreign tribes than be under the control of military generals; the other is the rational faction, who also want to abolish the General's Mansion, but they know that it is not the time. Because there is only the General's Mansion, or the Li family, who can take the Western Liang troops to resist the foreign tribes.
Chen Shou didn't care about this. He came today to represent the Li family and accepted the emperor's anger.
The old emperor on the dragon couch didn't care about Chen Shou's feelings at all. He just needed Chen Shou to send a message to the general's mansion and said that these things had nothing to do with the emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor was also very angry.
The old emperor didn't have much patience to play with him, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal him to leave.
Walking out of the summer palace like a dream, Chen Shou was a little hesitant for a moment. Do you want to go back to the East Palace? It doesn’t make much sense to tell her, just to make her sad again.
Li Lingyue, who was far away in Liangzhou Prefecture, heard the news, didn't know how sad he was, and he couldn't be with her. Thinking of this, Chen Shou sighed and continued to walk forward.
Suddenly, a few teenagers jumped and waved in the distance. Chen Shou looked up and saw that it was Zhang He, Zhao Hong, his two generals, Hum and Ha.
A few days ago, he asked them to find a yard to rent it. Before Chen Shou could ask, he quickly accelerated his pace. After approaching, Zhang He's eyes lit up: "Sir, I heard that Your Majesty has summoned you personally."
Chen Shou could understand their excitement, and it was already a great thing for them to meet the Saint.
But Chen Shou couldn't raise any excitement, and he whispered: "The eldest son Li Jin is dead and his head is stripped of his head."
"Who did it!"
Zhao Hong was actually a little angry. Their fathers, led by the General's Mansion, died on the battlefield, and it was still difficult to change their loyalty to the General's Mansion.
There are these people in Xiliang, and the people's expectations are accumulated by generations of Li family. It is difficult for the imperial court to cut off the vassal of the General's Mansion of Xiliang.
“Have you rented the yard?”
Zhang He nodded and said, "It's right in Zhuzhang Street in the west of the city, not far from the East Palace, so it's convenient for managers to go out."
The two of them took Chen Shou to drive to this small courtyard. Although they were not as majestic and luxurious as they had seen in the past few days, they were also clean and quiet.
The ventilated master bedroom on both sides is very comfortable.
The furniture and beds were spotless, and they must have been swept through. There were about ten soldiers in the yard looking at Chen Shou with their eyes.
Chen Shou then remembered that he had not given these personal soldiers money for a long time. They had no livelihood in Bianliang, so the money they left for them was probably rented for rent.
Chen Shou quickly asked Zhang He to drive and go to the East Palace with him to get some money back and spend it.
Chen Shou himself recognized four godfathers, but none of them were short of money, and he had no descendants and nephews, so he was not short of money at all.
After entering the East Palace, Chen Shou came to his dormitory room, took out a cloth bag from under the bed, and handed it to Zhang He.
Zhang Heyi weighed it and said strikingly: "Sincere, so many?"
Chen Shou patted his shoulder and said, "After you go back, buy some ancient books, pens, inkstones, guns, sticks, stone locks, and take them to exercise their bodies and read and write. Don't waste them. The food, clothing, monthly profits, are the same as Qin Fengying."
Zhang He's eyes turned red, and his heart was extremely moved, and Zhao Hong, who was beside him, had a hint of emotion in his eyes.
Chen Shou sent them out of the Eastern Palace and returned to the Taoist yard. He was about to change back to his usual clothes when someone knocked on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw that it was the spy from the General's Mansion, and he was still dressed in black. His face was no longer as grinning as usual, and he had a little more solemnity.
"The eldest son is dead."
"I know."
......
Both of them were silent for a moment, and Chen Shou took the initiative to say, "I have the good wine brought by Xiliang. Have you eaten it? Have you had a drink with me?"
The man in black nodded. Chen Shou District's back kitchen wanted a table of side dishes. He took out a pot of wine from the cabinet and arranged the wine and dishes in the bedroom.
"I haven't asked my brother for his surname and name."
"My name is Li Bohao."
When Chen Shou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Li is also the general's mansion..."
"Distant relative, when it comes to talking about it, I want to call the eldest son "Uncle."
"Today, Your Majesty summoned me to observe his words and deeds, and to speculate on his motives. I think this matter may have nothing to do with the court."
Li Bohao picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "That year, my father took our brothers to the General's Mansion to play with the children in the backyard. The eldest son was a few years older than us and read a book on the side. The second lady and I played with fireworks in the mansion, lit the house, causing a fire. In order to save us, the eldest son rushed into the room and had a piece of his leg burned. Do you believe that the eldest son was only twelve years old at that time. Not only did he not blame us, he also took the initiative to take the blame.
Afterwards, the old hand-shop's treasured ancient scroll was burned, and the second lady was crying so hard that the old hand-shop whipped him three times."
Although Chen Shou knew that Li Jin was generous to others, he did not expect that he had been like this since childhood. It seemed that he was pure in nature and was definitely not deliberately artificial.
Under the sunlight shining through the window frame, Li Bohao's face was a little flushed. I don't know if it was the power of alcohol or the excitement of his heart, he raised the wine pot and raised his head and filled his mouth.
"The old general is fighting abroad all year round, and Xiliang has received more than one thousand favors from the eldest son. Our determination is that no matter who does it, no matter what purpose it is, no matter how deep he hides it, he will have to pay the price and he must die."
Chen Shou's heart suddenly became empty. Since he came to this strange world, he has been determined to make progress, make achievements, and make money.
Looking back, what I do is a pure egoist, taking advantage of the momentum, taking advantage of the momentum, and then taking advantage of the momentum.
Living like this... is really boring!
Li Jin, who had only met once, did not give him any kindness. On the contrary, he came to Bianliang to save him from a distance.
In the past few days, through others, the deeper I understand him, the greater the touch. In this chaotic world, the singing and dancing in the White Tiger Hall, the soldiers on the border lack clothing and food, the emperor is arrogant and extravagant, and the ministers frame loyalty and kindness. In this world, a humble gentleman cannot tolerate a beautiful young man or a beautiful young man.
Reason tells yourself that you are not rich and the farther away from this strange thing, the better.
But the man in his heart was telling him that he had no choice but to do his duty, for the general's mansion, for Li Wei, and for Li Lingyue.
Chen Shou raised his wine glass, touched the wine pot that was drunk by Li Bohao, and said in a low voice: "No matter what, I, Chen Shou, will definitely help you with all my strength."
