When the sun moved slightly to the west, Li Po led his people back to the city.
Although Li Po could understand that the food was not to his taste, his mood was inevitably affected.
Yun Dingxing leaned next to him, struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and whispered: "Supreme Rongzhen, there were old stories about Shen Chen, Changsun Anshi, Duan Da and others not long ago...
At that time in Luoyang, the king's power was great, and the ministers were not willing to do such treacherous and unethical things, but they were forced to do this perverse act.
Many years have passed, and every time I think about it, I regret it..."
Li Po was not in a very good mood to begin with, and he became even more upset after hearing this. He frowned and looked at Yun Dingxing, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. It's an old story, why bother mentioning it in such a long way?"
Yun Dingxing stumbled and tried to back down, but what can I say about him? In the eyes of the world, he was just a flatterer. Even he himself could not count the stupid things he had done in his life.
But speaking of it, he had never betrayed a friend, and he also remembered clearly the friendship between others. When Wang Shichong wanted to raise an army to attack Li Yuan, he offended Wang Shichong because of his inappropriate words.
When he looked at the man, he showed a ferocious look. Fortunately, the eldest grandson Anshi was around and he was able to avoid the disaster of death. However, he was kicked by Wang Shichong and sent to Jinyang.
Brother Sun Anshi, the guild leader, was imprisoned in Dali Temple. He felt that it was time to return his family's favor.
So even though it sounded like the emperor's words were not good, he still bit the bullet and said: "Many of those people were dead back then, but only because I was protected by the Supreme Being, I am now rich and noble. I can't express my gratitude in words.
But a few years ago, the eldest grandson Anshi entered Dali Temple, and I wanted to beg the Supreme Being to let him out.
Although this man was a minister of Chongni and a close relative of Wang Shichong, he was different from Xiao Lang and others in that he did not have many evil deeds in Luoyang. Since he came to Chang'an with the returned prince, he has stayed behind closed doors and ignored foreign affairs for a long time. , and there is no suspicion of forming a clique.
The people in the court still wanted to make things difficult for him. I thought he had gone too far. There were many people coming from Luoyang, so it was inevitable to see him... It was inevitable that he would feel sad when the rabbit died and the fox died.
Therefore, I feel that because of the supreme kindness and generosity, I definitely don’t want to see this, so why not spare him once so that he can support an idle person and show everyone’s tolerance, why not do it?”
Li Po smiled and said quietly: "These words sound familiar. Changsun Shunde also said the same thing. Was it he who asked you to come to me to plead for mercy?"
There was a fire in Li Po's heart. The eldest grandson Anshi was of course nothing. No matter how famous he was in Luoyang, he was no longer as good as a phoenix at this time.
But the eldest grandson Anshi... is not dead yet, and the voices of begging for mercy are endless. Humph, the people of Luoyang are really united.
The eldest grandson, Anshi, has never formed a party, but what about the others...
In fact, this is an internal strife among the Luoyang clan, and Li Po didn't intend to take any more care, but as an emperor, he must look at the overall situation when looking at the problem, and the current signs are not good.
Some people were jumping up and down so much, and now there was Yun Dingxing, which made people a little annoyed.
Yun Dingxing didn't think much about it, but when he heard Changsun Shunde's name, his long-term experience as an official made him immediately aware of the danger.
Jing Jing explained: "The Supreme Lord Mingjian, I have no dealings with the eldest grandson's minister. Heaven can tell. From the moment I arrived in Jinyang, I was appreciated and used by the Supreme Being. I have no second thoughts and only act according to the Supreme Lord's orders."
I am interceding for my eldest grandson, Anshi, just because he said a few fair words for me when I was in Luoyang, and absolutely nothing else."
Well, in a hurry, this person simply told the whole story without mentioning anything else.
Li Po sat on the horse and pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know why Changsun Anshi ended up like this?"
Yun Dingxing said cautiously: "I know a thing or two, it should be the family affairs of the Changsun family that are causing trouble."
Li Po nodded, "Changsun Wuji used the power of Dali Temple to avenge himself, but you came to plead with me just because Changsun Anshi said a few good words for you in Luoyang. You regard your official position in the imperial court as
what?"
Having said this, he looked at Yun Dingxing and saw that his face was as pale as earth. If he said a few more words, he would be like a turtle with his head turned back.
He then changed the topic and said: "I think you are still kind and righteous, so let's forget it this time. It won't be the same next time."
Yun Dingxing felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and nodded repeatedly: "The Supreme Lord is kind to me. I will think clearly about what I say in the future and will never trouble the Supreme Lord again."
Li Poxin said, do you mean that from now on you will only flatter people and not do serious business?
But he still expressed satisfaction and said: "The eldest grandson Anshi is nothing. Wang Shichong behaves erratically. It is true that you are adding fuel to the fire, but it can be considered excusable...
Go and tell Changsun Wuji and ask him to let Changsun Anshi go home... You are young and talented, why should you destroy your future for this matter? Don't you think so?"
Yun Dingxing was stunned for a moment, thinking that this matter was going to end, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a success.
Overjoyed, he immediately gave a flattering smile and said: "That's right, brothers are fighting against each other. What kind of good reputation is that? Young people should not think about it. If the Supreme Being doesn't intend to preserve it, wouldn't his future be ruined if he takes the wrong path?"
Seeing that he understood what he meant, Li Po nodded and lectured again: "You should also take this as a lesson. Don't think about how to please me all day long. If I ask you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, then you must do it for me."
Take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.
You should know what the situation is now. Things in the Ministry of Industry are not easy. You should concentrate on doing your own thing and don't worry about others.
Let’s just say that here at Chang’an Maritime Academy, you can keep an eye on me yourself. What can you do if a doctor comes over? It’s like a dream…”
These words don't sound like a lesson to Yun Dingxing's ears, but more like the emperor treating him as one of his own and vowing to have him in the Ministry of Works. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. Otherwise, there will be a series of problems.
Flattery came out of his mouth.
Li Po's face twitched when he heard this, and he thought to himself that he was superfluous. What nonsense could he talk to him? It was like playing the piano to an ox.
Thinking of Qin, I just took the opportunity to clear my ears, so I summoned Mr. Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiangjun's fatigue was visible to the naked eye. The song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" seemed to have exhausted her energy. What was even more unfortunate was that she also ate two sheep's eyeballs, and she is still feeling nauseated.
But she was still very energetic when talking to the emperor face to face, thinking that if the dog emperor wanted to accept her into the palace, should she resist to death, or should she surrender first and then look for an opportunity to seek help from Mrs. Cheng Guo?
But she didn't expect that what the emperor said to her was more like chatting.
"I heard that you are from Jiangling?"
Lu Xiangjun said honestly: "I was born in Jiangdu. To avoid the war, I moved to Jiangling with my mother."
Li Po did the math in his mind, "The story happened more than ten years ago, so you haven't lived in Jiangling for long... Jiangling, it is indeed a good place. It seems that it hasn't experienced much war in recent years, right?"
Lu Xiangjun secretly glanced at him. The opportunity to get up close to a creature like the emperor was unique. However, she was slightly disappointed that the emperor was plain in appearance and not even remotely handsome.
Of course, this is very reassuring. After all, according to the rumors among the people in Jiangling, the Han King Li Ding'an is two feet tall, has a green face and fangs, and eats human flesh every meal. He is almost based on the ogre king Zhu Can, with some monsters added.
The image is just right.
In fact, when I did meet him, he only had one nose and two eyes. Apart from metaphysical things like majesty and momentum, there was nothing surprising about him.
Moreover, in Lu Xiangjun's view, the emperor spoke neither hastily nor slowly, was neither domineering nor bossy, and had the air of an elder.
Of course, the dog emperor is the dog emperor, so we can't think too much of them, especially when they made her eat two sheep's eyeballs, which was so disgusting.
"The city of Jiangling was peaceful, and no weapons were used. However, Demon King Zhu made trouble for a while, and later I heard that he was killed. At that time, every household in Jiangling City clapped their hands and cheered, and some people even offered incense to the martyrs."
Li Po laughed, "Really? Do you know who those righteous men are?"
Apparently he showed off his old skills again, chatting and laughing with a little girl. If he hadn't been the emperor, he might have won her heart in a few days.
With just a few words, Mr. Lu Xiang was able to dispel his wariness and feel that the emperor was very kind.
"There are many rumors in Jiangxia, but most of them are not accurate. Later, people wanted to build a monument to the martyrs, but they gave up because they didn't know their names."
Li Po said: "You may not believe it, but they fled all the way to Jin. The mastermind was named Liu Chaozong. He was from the Liu family in Xiangyang. He was not motivated by righteous indignation, but to avenge his friends.
The person who did it was a woman named Gu, a swordsman from the south of the Yangtze River. She and her husband were favored by Liu Chaozong, and they sacrificed their lives in return. It sounds very ancient, doesn't it? "
Lu Xiangjun imagined it for a moment, and although she didn't know whether what the emperor said was true or false, she did want to hear this story, so she nodded firmly and said, "There is nothing better than this in the ancient heroic style."
Li Po looked at her little appearance and couldn't help laughing and said: "The story behind is more ancient, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after hearing it, so I won't tell you.
Liu Chaozong is now serving in Hebei, and Aunt Gu and his wife are hiding in Qianniu Beishen Mansion. If you have the chance to meet them, you can say thank you to them on behalf of the people of Jiangyou."
Lu Xiangjun looked over with wide eyes... How could you do this? Tell half of the story...
Li Po teased the Qinzhong master for a while, and his mood gradually improved. He was thinking about whether he should go to his mother-in-law's place to get some food. He hadn't eaten well just now and it was time to reward his stomach again.
He said casually, "You play the piano well, would you like to work in Taiyue Department?"
Before Lu Xiangjun could say anything, he continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to. Just put your name there. There are a lot of tigers and wolves in Chang'an City. The more famous you are, I'm afraid you will give it to Mrs. Cheng Guo."
Looking for trouble."
After spinning around for a while, he finally got the prize. Lu Xiangjun skillfully showed a surprised and grateful smile and said: "Thank you, Supreme Lord, for taking care of me. I'm used to wandering outside and can't stand too much restraint... If I sign my name at the Taile Department
, can you ask the luthiers from the Taiyue Department about their skills?"
