Lin Feibao stood diagonally across from the lobby to ensure that no one on this side came close to the lobby.
Zhang Xu is behind.
On the roof, Wang Laoer was lying on the tiles, eating dried meat and complaining about his failure to get delicious food in Kunzhou this time, which was a big loss.
Then he scratched his head in annoyance, "Yiniang asked me who I like, I...who do I like?"
He had pure eyes and sighed, "I seem to like everyone."
In the lobby, Yang Xuan looked at Liu Qing and thought that Old Liu had indeed guessed something and had been pretending to be stupid all these years.
I guess he has been observing me and thinking about me.
This discovery made Yang Xuan more interested, "Who does Liu Gong think I am?"
Liu Qing smiled and sighed, "When you arrive in Taiping, there are only a few people around you, old thieves, Wang Laoer...
Later, there were more and more people. That’s all. Where did those big guys like Huang Linxiong come from? Don’t say they were picked up on the road.
It's okay for those people to be loyal to you, but they are also secretly on guard in front of me.
Why are they wary of me?
Jianghu people don't like officials, but they know best the reason why officialdom is strictly hierarchical.
I am the governor, you are just a Sima, Sima's bodyguards are on guard against the governor, why?"
The old man is really keen.
Yang Xuan remained silent, and Liu Qing did not ask further questions, "From the time you arrived in Taiping, you walked as fast as a shooting star.
In the eyes of others, this is a young man who is aggressive and enterprising, but in the eyes of me, you are eager and impatient.
Why is a young man so eager? Could it be that those official positions will be gone later?"
hehe!
Yang Xuan chuckled and took a sip of tea.
Aning said that cold tea hurts the stomach, but now he drank it more and more smoothly.
"What puzzles me the most is that when you went to Chang'an to report on your duties, I planned to arrange for you to serve as an official in Chang'an. This is an official practice, and Luo Cai even wrote a letter to ask me about your situation.
As long as he works in Chang'an for two or three years to accumulate qualifications and then returns to northern Xinjiang, his career will be smooth sailing from now on.
You don’t understand this truth, and Cao Ying doesn’t understand it either? If he doesn’t understand it and becomes a shitty staff member, then he’s just a bastard who eats and drinks!”
You underestimated the heroes of the world! Yang Xuan smiled bitterly.
"Over the years, the impression you have given me is that I am in a hurry. I am in a hurry to be promoted, to control the army, to recruit people... Why are you in a hurry? What is driving you to live in such a hurry? Huh?"
Yang Xuan was speechless.
"You've been holding back." Liu Qing said with a dry mouth and stretched out his hand. Yang Xuan quickly poured a cup of tea and sent it to him.
Zixiao!
Liu Qing took a sip of cold tea as if drinking alcohol, and sighed contentedly, "A forbearing old man was doubting his own judgment. Until Liao Zhongcheng was assassinated, all your forbearance was lost.
Look at you, starting from returning to Northern Xinjiang, you have taken over power step by step.
Liao Jin is unwilling to accept this, and I know that, but he didn't expect that you had been planning for many years, step by step, for a long time, which caught him off guard."
"It didn't take long." Yang Xuan felt that this was a slight on himself.
"I forgot that even Xianggong Huang was full of praise for your plan." Liu Qing coughed dryly, "You are too impatient. I can't help but guess what you are thinking about.
The fight over food with the powerful attracted people from Chang'an.
Then he watched Tian Xiao enter the big hole you dug step by step.
Northern Xinjiang has also become an enemy of Chang'an as you wished, Zitai."
"You said."
"Who are you anyway? What is all this for?"
Yang Xuan pressed his eyebrows, "Actually, you should ask this question later."
"How late?"
"Maybe, a year or two."
"But you have to know that I am in charge of all matters in Northern Xinjiang for you. How can you do things if you don't know your purpose?"
The old man is a bit shameless... Yang Xuan smiled, "Aren't you worried that I am the descendant of some rebel?"
"Descendants of the rebels?" Liu Qing smacked his mouth and chewed the tea leaves in his mouth. "It has been many years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Even if the rebels at that time have descendants, they have long since extinguished their thoughts."
It was a fight in troubled times, and it was normal for whoever lost and who won to win. Those who dared to intervene in the world would die heroically, so there was no need for revenge.
Yang Xuan looked at him, "What do you think of today?"
Emotionally speaking, he should just say it directly.
But he was worried that Liu Qing's reaction would be too violent.
What should the old man do if he has a heart attack?
Moreover, he was also worried that the old man would not be able to accept this matter. Therefore, he tested it step by step. If something didn't work halfway, he would continue to cover it up.
Liu Qing glanced outside, coughed dryly, and Yang Xuan said, "Everyone outside is watching."
It seems that the old man wants to say something exciting... Yang Xuan is more confident.
"Now!" Liu Qing's eyes were a little more confused. "Although he was shameless in the early years, he was still a capable person. Otherwise, it would not have been the turn of the Supreme Emperor to ascend the throne."
Emperor Wu didn't like Li Yuan back then and just used him to occupy his position.
But she couldn't help it and Li Mi took advantage of her illness to initiate a palace coup.
Liu Qing sighed, "When the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, the father and son were in a hurry to clean up. Cleaning and cleaning, their own people came up. But how many capable people are there among the so-called own people? Look at how he treated Song Zhen, it's embarrassing
Call it unkind and unjust!"
Yang Xuan smiled without commenting.
"Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has been declining." Liu Qing said: "After His Majesty ascended the throne, there was another round of purges. The purges were just that, he also wanted to win over the clan...
This idea is correct, but he should never, never, should not cooperate with aristocratic families for the sake of power.
In his eyes, there is only power and no empire.
But he is not a foolish king!"
Yang Xuan nodded, Li Mi was a top master in power play, so there was no basis for calling him stupid.
Liu Qing took a sip of cold tea and said, "He is... an independent man!"
A single man, an unruly king!
The whole world will fight against the unruly king!
Is that enough? Little boy!
Liu Qing held the tea cup.
"What do you think of the Supreme Emperor?" Yang Xuan asked.
Um?
This is to amuse me... Liu Qing glanced at Yang Xuan and found that his expression was calm and a little solemn.
What does this mean, little bastard?
Liu Qing shook his head, "The Emperor's reign was too short..."
"I'm talking about this person."
"people?"
"right."
"The Supreme Emperor... has many means, but his structure is not big. After he ascended the throne, he was busy cleaning up the palace, and he was impatient. Finally, he found an opportunity and was ousted from power."
"What do you think of this father and son?"
"Baby!" Liu Qing's eyes flashed fiercely, "Why are you asking?"
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I promise you won't regret it."
Liu Qing squinted his eyes, "It's a mistake for the country and for the people!"
Is that enough?
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Do you think the throne of the Supreme Emperor is justified?"
When Li Yuan first ascended the throne, some officials risked their lives to scold him, and Li Mi ordered his guards to beat him to death with golden melons.
Liu Qing snorted softly, "There have been many rumors over the years, saying that the Supreme Emperor and his son used some shady methods to frame the Emperor of Filial Piety. However, these are just rumors."
There were more rumors. According to rumors, Emperor Wu wanted to change the prince, and even wanted to drive away Li Yuan and his son. However, Emperor Wu went to keep company with Emperor Xuande, and no one came to confirm these rumors.
"Is this a taboo for the venerable?" Yang Xuan said with a smile.
There are many rumors outside, but people in official circles are very cautious and rarely talk about this matter.
Liu Qing looked at him, "Even if the father and son did something shameful back then, but now they are emperors, what can they do?"
The emperor can never be wrong!
Yang Xuan looked at him and asked, "What do you think of being filial to the emperor?"
Honor the emperor!
!
Liu Qing was excited, gripped the teacup tightly, and looked at Yang Xuan carefully.
Yang Xuan looked at him calmly.
Liu Qing looked outside the door.
"The second one on the roof is here." Yang Xuan said.
As he spoke, the tiles on the roof moved, and Wang Laoer's voice came, "Lang Jun, how long will it take?"
Yang Xuan said angrily: "It's early!"
Wang Laoer stopped.
Liu Qing coughed dryly and said, "Follow the Emperor. Long Zhang Fengzi is very talented, but unfortunately, he is too affectionate."
The words "too heavy on love" sum up a life of filial piety to the emperor.
Too attached to affection and not on guard against parents and relatives.
"Why are you asking these questions today?" Liu Qing became more and more suspicious, "From being the Supreme Emperor to being filial to the Emperor, it's all palace affairs. Are you still a prince? Hahahaha..."
Yang Xuan nodded.
Liu Qing's laughter stopped suddenly, "Are you kidding me? Your surname is Yang!"
Yang Xuan said:
"My surname is Li."
Liu Qing shivered.
The kid asked the Emperor and his son, which was quite disrespectful. That was fine. After all, I looked down on that father and son. But he also asked about filial piety to the Emperor.
Honoring the emperor is a taboo, who would mention it for no reason?
If someone leaks it, it will instantly become a thorn in the emperor's side... This is a self-inflicted crime.
He said his surname was Li!
!
Liu Qing recalled everything about Yang Xuan's visit to Northern Xinjiang bit by bit.
Cao Ying, that counselor was willing to follow Yang Xuan to the sinful city of Taiping.
Yi Niang, whom I have met several times, looks deserted and has a vague aura of aloofness, so she must have an extraordinary background.
There is also Nan He, who seems to be unassuming, but is extremely calm. He can control the army, but will not steal Yang Xuan's limelight. He is so low-key that people will hardly pay attention to him.
This class of people are the true generals!
Damn it, how can there be any reason for the future to join a county magistrate?
The origins of Huang Linxiong and those big men are even more suspicious. Now that I think about it, they are more like guards!
That’s right!
Every time Yang Xuan travels, Huang Linxiong and his group guard him extremely closely.
The specifications are too high!
Whose descendant is the cub?
Who is from the clan?
The royal family has never heard of an illegitimate child in these years!
"royal?"
Yang Xuan nodded.
Liu Qing put down the tea cup, his cheeks twitching, "I... maybe I shouldn't ask. However, if you don't ask, I will never be able to figure out your origins, and I will inevitably get distracted.
Whose descendant are you? Emperor Xuande was not considered a clean person back then, but you are not the right age.
Yes, your age..."
He is calculating.
He stopped after doing some calculations.
Because, he counted one person.
No, it's an emperor.
God!
Could this old man be dreaming?
"You, Zitai, did you drink too much today?"
Liu Qing stood up shakily, leaned over, and reached out to touch his forehead.
Yang Xuan raised his hand to block his outstretched hand.
