Chapter 111 [1 More] 111
When Liu Che saw the news of Li Guangli's death, his expression paused for a moment.
However, he has been an emperor for many years, and he knows very well what can and cannot be discussed in the court.
Now everyone is discussing this victory, the victory is refreshing, although everyone is wondering how the fifth prince led that team to win.
No matter how they analyze it, they don't think they have this strength, and according to what the fifth prince wrote, Little Wusun seems to have helped, but it only wiped out part of the Huns cavalry, and did not intervene in the siege battle.
Many people wished that the army would return to the court immediately, they were too curious.
Some people even wonder if this is the rise of a general like Wei Huo.
However, soon everyone thought of Liu Tan's identity, and couldn't help feeling a little pity for a while.
Even if Liu Tan is a slave, it is not necessarily impossible to follow Wei Qing's route, it would be even better if he was born in general.
Li Xi was probably the one who regretted the most. When he found out about this, Li Xi knew that his son must have received a lot of credit, and his first reaction was to be happy.
What he was most worried about before was this eldest son. In his opinion, Li Buyan was a bit silly. Let him become an official, let alone improve his family business. It would be good if he could keep his family business. Is it that easy to fight a war?
Li Xi's heart was broken because of this son. Now that he is fine, this credit is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Of course, this credit is not enough to be a Marquis, but what's so good about being a Marquis?The emperor can be sealed or accepted, and even in order to take it back, he will find all kinds of crimes. At that time, it may not only lose the title.
On the contrary, it is enough to have such merits now, to get a good official position, and to have a good relationship with the fifth prince.
Thinking of the fifth prince, Li Xi hated him so much. If this was his own son, why would he worry about it?
What's more, if this is his son, the big man will be able to play this game of chess well.
When he heard someone say sourly: "Maybe it's because His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness was lucky that Jie Guo wasn't too defensive at that time."
Li Xi immediately taunted back: "Good luck? Good luck is also about strength. Sometimes it depends on luck in war. With such luck, you can directly destroy a country. It is a rare event in a thousand years."
But what's the use?At most, it can make his fief better.
Li Xi thought that even waiting for the fifth prince to return to court, he might soon be crowned king and then become a vassal.
After listening to Li Xi's words, Liu Che glanced at him and said with a smile, "Li Aiqing has taught a good son. Li is not tired of his hard work this time. I will definitely give him a reward when he comes back."
When Li Xi heard the first half of the sentence, the cold sweat on his back was about to break down, and he even began to think about whether it was a real compliment or a metaphor for teaching a good son?
It's no wonder that he doubted Liu Che. He was really cheated by the emperor. If it wasn't for the fifth prince, he might have become an eunuch and entered the palace by now.
After hearing the latter, he was sure that Liu Che was really complimenting him, and then he said beamingly: "It is not in vain for me to share your majesty's worries and let that kid go for selfishness."
Everyone knows that Li Buyan got in through connections, but no one said anything. Now the court has three ways to become an official: first, you were born in a family of officials, so that you can touch the edge of this circle; , you are good at studying, you are promising and famous, so that the officials in the court noticed you, and some people even started to become students under the door, and then they would be noticed by the court and extended an olive branch; the third is like the previous Liu Che It is the same as the order to seek talents in the country, recruiting people of insight from all over the world, and then the people of insight recommend themselves. If they are appreciated, they will naturally be retained, but it is hard to say what kind of official position they will be after being retained. The most famous It was Dongfang Shuo.
So Li Buyan is the most common situation in the court. If someone has trouble with Li Xi because of this, then he is breaking the rules, and his children will not want to go this way in the future.
Everyone didn't think there was anything, and Liu Che didn't think there was anything either. He smiled and said, "It's a pity that you father and son will meet again in the Western Regions."
Li Xi raised his head and looked at Liu Che in a daze: "Your Majesty means...?"
Liu Che said: "The fifth prince has been away for more than half a year, and he should be back, but there are still things to be done there, especially the Jiewang City can't just be abandoned, so you go there first, and you will naturally know what to do when you get there. "
If someone else listened to this order, they might feel gloomy, feel that life is hopeless, and actually want to be kicked to eat sand.
However, Li Xi was very happy. He was really terrified when he stayed in Chang'an. He always felt that his life was taken back, and he never knew when it would be taken back.
It is naturally the best to be able to go out now, and it is to take over the work of the Fifth Prince.
The emperor didn't make it very clear, but Li Xi could vaguely hear that there were other important things. He reckoned that he was sent there not just because Liu Che didn't like him.
Some people vaguely knew the rumors. Li Guangli was not a big mouther, but the mermaids around him leaked some news.
Everyone is not very clear about the gold mine, but they just vaguely know that it is very important, so it is not that no one wants to go there.
Liu Che decided that there was no way to let Li Xi go. He was afraid that another person who Liu Tan didn't like would go there. What if Liu Tan killed him again?
He hadn't read the letter specifically, but was a little worried by Li Guangli's death. At this moment, he didn't know how to tell Mrs. Li about it.
Originally, he kindly asked the little wife's brother to get some benefits, but he disappeared.
Liu Che put his personal feelings aside, and talked about Little Wusun, and by the way, expressed Liu Tan's thoughts.
Prime Minister Shi Qing's eyes lit up after hearing this. As a prime minister, his health has not been very good these days, so he has become more and more invisible in the court.
He hadn't expressed his opinion for a long time, but at this moment he couldn't help but say: "Your Highness is a genius, this method is wonderful."
Liu Che is just like an ordinary father at this time. Of course he is happy when someone praises his son, especially a master like Shi Qing who often asks him three sentences and he says one sentence. Being able to take the initiative to praise Liu Tan shows that this method is indeed very good.
Liu Che said: "Next, Kunmi of Little Wusun may enter the imperial court. Before he comes, everyone discusses a charter, and we must not treat him badly."
Everyone understood in an instant that this was the first country in the Western Regions that made it clear that it wanted to rely on the Han.
Before that, even though all nations came to court at the time of Zhengdan, in fact, those countries were nothing but scumbags. They would bow their heads before the big men, and they would bow their heads before the Xiongnu. Don't count on these people at critical moments, but if Xiao Wusun really It's different when you become a vassal state.
This meant that Lu Xuan was young, so everyone didn't doubt his motives too much. Think about it, it is normal for a young monarch to find a stronger country to attach to when surrounded by wolves.
Liu Che didn't expect to solve this matter in a big court meeting, not to mention that even if he had a preliminary plan, he would have to discuss it with Lu Xuan later.
After the court was over, Liu Che hurried back to Weiyang Palace with the letter.
When he read the whole letter, he didn't know what to say for a while.
He knew about Li Guangli's corruption. To be honest, Liu Che really didn't care much about the gold, so he turned a blind eye to it.
As a result, he seemed to have forgotten to communicate with his son. Liu Tan didn't say anything in the letter, but said that he couldn't bear Li Guangli's bullying.
No matter how simple the words and sentences are, Liu Che consciously understands Liu Tan's thoughts.
Liu Tan didn't mention the dozens of lives in the letter. He knew very well that he was the only one who took these lives seriously, so he directly took the responsibility and pleaded guilty to Liu Che by the way.
But is Liu Tan wrong about this matter?That's right, there is nothing wrong with sending people to arrest someone who breaks the law. As for what happened later, it seems to be self-inflicted.
Liu Che sighed, got up and went to Mrs. Li's bedroom.
Mrs. Li is in a very good mood recently. Although her son was thrown into the fief early, she still has the idea of having another one.
Her elder brothers are also very competitive, especially the second elder brother who can lead troops to the Western Regions.
Mrs. Li didn't know much about herself, and she didn't know that there was a big difference between a general and a general. She only thought that Li Guangli would definitely be a Marquis when he came back this time, so every time Liu Che came over, she would ask about Li Guangli.
However, when she first met Liu Che that day, she realized that his expression was very ugly.
As a favorite concubine, Mrs. Li did not have the confidence to ignore Liu Che's mood like Chen Ajiao, so she waited on Liu Che very carefully, and asked, "What's bothering your Majesty?"
Liu Che looked up at Madam Li and said, "Li Guangli died suddenly."
Mrs. Li was dumbfounded all of a sudden, she was just dreaming that Li Guangli could be named Marquis, but the next moment she heard the bad news.
She stood there in a daze for a long while before she said as if she had lost her mind: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty don't make fun of my concubine, my concubine... I will take it seriously."
Liu Che looked at her silently. Only then did Madam Li realize that it was all true, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly.
Even if Mrs. Li was crying, it was pear blossoms with rain, and she choked up tears and asked, "Why...why?"
Seeing her like this, Liu Che felt a little soft-hearted. Mrs. Li's appearance is naturally not bad to be favored, plus she is gentle and understanding, which is most in line with Liu Che's aesthetics.
Liu Che couldn't help sighing, took Mrs. Li into his arms and said, "He...he entered the cave, which was already unsafe due to mining, but after he entered, he was hit on the head by a falling stone. .”
After hearing this, Mrs. Li cried so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Liu Che hugged her to comfort her for a long time, and finally Mrs. Li suppressed her grief and said: "In the end... it's just my brother's life is suffering. Your Majesty, don't waste time for me, concubine... just take it easy."
What a knowledgeable and interesting beauty, Liu Che felt more and more pity for her, and after rewarding a lot of things, she went to deal with government affairs.
Mrs. Li whimpered and cried for a long time, then wiped her tears, turned to look at the maid beside her and said, "Send a letter to Saburo, let him find a way to find out how Erlang got there, okay, he What are you going to do in the mine? If His Majesty doesn’t say anything, there must be something wrong here!”
