Chapter 518 Couple’s Night Talk

 "Why do you think the Jiedu envoys were summoned to report their duties this time?" Li Dai asked calmly.

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "I heard from my grandpa that the assassination of Cheng Qianli should have something to do with him!"

"That's right! The emperor wanted to arrest him, but he was afraid that Cheng Qianli would become suspicious and refused to go to the capital, so he asked all the military governors to enter the capital. Dugulie told me that the emperor had obtained evidence that Cheng Qianli and the prince secretly colluded, and wanted to arrest him.

Cheng Qianli testified against the prince, and if Cheng Qianli went to Beijing, he would most likely be deposed. At the critical moment, I revealed the news to King Guangping, who took action decisively."

"So Cheng Qianli was killed by King Guangping?"

Li Dai nodded, "Only if Cheng Qianli shuts up forever, can the prince escape this disaster. This time is too dangerous. On the surface, the court is calm, but I am the person involved, and I know the turbulent waves under the water."

"The key is that my father saved the prince."

Li Dai smiled and said, "So Gao Lishi assigned me to do the Prince's work, how can it be useless?"

Li Ye pondered for a while and then asked: "How did Dugu Lie know this secret?"

"He won't tell me, but I guess there are people around Yuan Siyi. This case was led by Yuan Siyi, but Yuan Siyi messed up the matter, which made the emperor very angry. This is what Dugulie told me two days ago."

"How about An Lushan? I heard from my grandpa that he was the biggest beneficiary and took the Hedong Jiedushi into his pocket. Everyone suspected that it was him."

"An Lushan is a very cunning person. I know that his concurrent appointment as the governor of Hedong is related to his bribery of Guo Guo's wife. But on the other hand, he maintained a hostile state with the prince, which also made the emperor believe that he would not collude with the prince. When Anqing

Xu stabbed Wei Qingxuan in the face. An Lushan came not to apologize to Wei Jiansu, but to fall out with Wei Jiansu. He knew how to seize the opportunity."

"What about his rebellion?" Li Ye asked again.

"His rebellious intentions are well known. I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I know very well that An Lushan has nothing to do with the imperial court in terms of finance, army, and appointment and dismissal of officials. It is tantamount to supporting the army on his own. He keeps buying pig iron and making armor.

Saving food and grass, recruiting young people, looking for skilled craftsmen, and recruiting all kinds of talents have been going on for several years. Isn't this preparing for rebellion?"

"Does the court know?"

"Why didn't the imperial court know? Officials from all over Hebei wrote letters saying that Anlushan was going to rebel. Yan Zhenqing, the governor of Dezhou, wrote to the imperial court several times to list the signs of Anlushan's rebellion. But it was useless for the imperial court to know. Yang Guozhong was stupid. On the one hand, he

He told the emperor every day that Anlushan was going to rebel, and at the same time he suppressed the letters from Hebei officials. You think, he must say that Anlushan was going to rebel. He said it every year, every month, every day, and the emperor listened.

If he has calluses, will he still believe it?"

This is the typical story of the boy who cried wolf.

Li Ye laughed and said: "The emperor will think that Yang Guozhong wants to avenge the murder of his son!"

"Yes! That's what the emperor thought. At the beginning of the month, the emperor sent Bian Lingcheng to Youzhou to investigate Anlu Mountain. Yesterday, Bian Lingcheng came back and praised Anlu Mountain for being loyal and without any second thoughts."

Li Dai sighed and said, "Gao Lishi told me. Bian Lingcheng also gave many details, saying that An Lushan would take his whole family to kneel down in the direction of Chang'an every night before eating to thank the emperor for his kindness.

There is food to eat.

He also said that An Lushan rejected the attempts of the Crown Prince and Prince Qing, and that he was only loyal to the Emperor. Bian Lingcheng also took back an old robe covered with patches, saying that the Emperor gave him the official robe, which was his most precious

The thing is actually an official robe covered with patches, Ye'er, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Li Ye said calmly: "I'm afraid the Emperor doesn't think it's ridiculous!"

Li Dai sighed, "The emperor really didn't think it was ridiculous. He was so moved that he decreed to make An Lushan the King of Yan and the Taifu. His two sons, An Qingzong and An Qingxu, were both Dukes of the country, and all other sons were made County officials.

male."

"An Lushan actually became a prince?"

Li Dai nodded, pointed to his head and said: "The emperor is extremely stupid now and is completely controlled by Mrs. Guo Guo and Yuan Siyi. The only good thing about him now is that he occasionally listens to Gao Lishi's words, but Gao Lishi

Lishi didn't speak much. He said that if he persuaded too much, the emperor would be disgusted and would no longer listen to him, so he tried to speak as little as possible, only saying something at critical moments, such as asking me to serve as the crown prince. This is high.

Lux said it to me himself."

"How is the situation with the heir apparent?" Li Ye asked again.

Li Dai sneered: "This Cheng Qianli incident was originally the best opportunity for King Qing. He was ready to celebrate with wine. However, Cheng Qianli was assassinated and he suddenly fell into the abyss. I think he will not be willing to accept it.

He will also cause trouble. These two years are his last chance. Once the emperor finally realizes that An Lushan is going to rebel, he may not consider changing the prince, as that will shake the country!"

Li Ye frowned, "Does the emperor really want to change the prince now?"

Li Dai nodded slowly, "Once the prince ascends the throne, the first one to deal with is the Yang family. Doesn't the Yang family know? So the Yang family is doing everything possible to persuade the emperor to change the prince. What's more, the emperor is already controlled by the Yang family. We can all feel that the emperor is

The second time was that he was determined to change the crown prince, but on the one hand, it was not easy to handle the prince now, and on the other hand, the emperor probably had not made up his mind which son should be replaced as the crown prince. Qing Wang Li Cong thought it would definitely be him, but he couldn't decide

Well, only the relatively low-key Yongwang Li Lin will win!"

At this time, Pei Sanniang asked them to eat. The father and son ended their conversation, got up and went out to eat.

After dinner, Li Ye took a carriage with his wife and daughter back to his mansion. In the carriage, Li Ye held his daughter, who had fallen asleep in his arms.

No matter how young a daughter is, she can feel the sense of security that her father brings to her. This is something that the mother cannot do, so the daughter is closer to her father. The reason is that the daughter needs more sense of security and dependence, which is exactly what her father wants.

Advantage.

Dugu Xinyue glanced at Xiaokang sitting in the front row, and she was thoughtful. Now she was more concerned about whether her husband came back alone? Is there another person arranged elsewhere?

But it’s hard for her to ask now. She should wait for a better time before speaking again!

At nightfall, the child was handed over to the wet nurse, and the couple loved each other until midnight, when they finally became exhausted.

Dugu Xinyue lay in her husband's arms and whispered: "Do you know why I asked that little lady today if she is well-off?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. She didn't follow me back. She is thousands of miles away in Samarkand. I'm afraid I won't see her again in the future."

"Why?"

Dugu Xinyue felt relieved and couldn't help but joked: "Is there any woman who can abandon you?"

"Let's compare it with something! She holds millions of wealth in her hands, controls a large amount of huge trade, has millions of female followers who follow her, and thousands of protective female warriors who follow her orders, no matter where she goes.

Wherever she goes? Tens of thousands of female believers will worship her. Compared with this condition or being my concubine, which one do you think is more attractive?"

"This condition is very attractive! But it depends on how deep the feelings are for you. Sometimes women are stupid. They will give up everything for the sake of love."

"I have known her for several years, and I have not been with her for more than five days. To say that I have a deep relationship is to deceive myself. If she really wants to follow me, then she will not return to Samarkand. Is it possible that my dignified Anxi Jiedu

The governor of the river can't protect her. If you make me angry, I will burn the Great Guangming Temple to the ground."

"When you say this, I feel that she is also very conflicted. Maybe she is a Sogdian princess and has to consider the safety of her family."

Li Ye shook his head, "She is not the Sogdian princess, but the princess of Geluolu. In fact, you also know this woman."

"Who is she?" Dugu Xinyue suddenly opened her eyes wide and her sleepiness disappeared.
