Chapter 97: Those Who Have Wisdom Make Things Come True
Lai Yao stroked his beard and smiled slightly, nodded and looked at Li Siye, but looked at Li Heng and pondered: "At present, there is actually a carrot and a pit in the Anxi army, which is really difficult to resettle..."
Li Heng was stunned, and reached out to hold his forehead lightly, pretending that he didn't hear it.
Li Siye still looked calm and said in his heart: "There must be a but behind."
"But, Li Zhuangshi was introduced by His Highness Zhong, and he was very talented. Instead of giving you a vain Zhaowu Captain, it is better to be the brigade leader who leads troops first. The brigade in our Anxi army recruits soldiers, which is different from the guards of the court. The brigade leader should have more than 200 people. Li Zhuangshi, what do you think?"
What else can Li Siye say? He has no choice but to choose such a thing.
He took the initiative to kneel on one knee, and politely crossed his hands during the march and said, "I am grateful to the protectors for their kindness. In the future, I will do my best to work hard to serve the Tang Dynasty."
"Okay," Lai Yao stroked his beard and smiled, "Then this matter is settled. The Protector will return to Anxi after six days. On the 22nd day of this month, you will wait for me from the Duting Office in Tonghua Fang. No need to bring anything, just come here. If you have a horse at home, you can also take it with you. If not, I will prepare you with a horse."
"Thank you, protector, I remember."
Li Siye thought of Tian Zhen Tengmu and the others, and took the initiative to say to Lai Yao: "Laidu Protector, he has two companions, and he is willing to follow Dupu to Anxi to fight and make meritorious contributions. Is the Protector willing to accept it?"
"Of course, what I need is such a righteous man. Just call them to come and follow you for the time being. After entering Kansai in the future, they will join you."
Li Siye was happy when he heard this, and then crossed his hands and said, "I thank the Protector for them!"
King Zhong Li Heng was also very happy and immediately summoned the servant: "Come here, prepare a table for Li Lu."
Li Siye refused, then thanked King Zhong for his kindness, knelt down on the head of Lai Yao's escort, and his servant brought the mattress and cushions. He knelt down in a straight manner like Li Heng, put his hands on his knees, and looked at Li Heng's performance. As long as King Zhong held the wine, he would hold the wine. King Zhong put down the wine cup and he also put it down.
Lai Yao Dudu’s sitting posture is more casual than that of King Zhong, but it is just a little bit, and you can’t see it without careful observation. The old general has been living in Hu for a long time and prefers casual sitting. It is really uncomfortable to kneel down with traditional etiquette. Li Siye’s legs were already sore after sitting for a while.
What King Zhong and Lai Yao talked about was just some of the customs and customs of the Western Regions, how Kucha music and Kangguo dance were so graceful and charming. It was really hard to imagine that in the next half hour, I was really talking about music and dance, without any political involvement.
Li Siye sincerely admired Li Heng's prudence, even if he traveled through time to become an official, he would definitely survive.
When there was really nothing to talk about between the two sides, Lai Yao bowed and crossed his hands to say goodbye: "Your Highness, I won't bother you here today, I'll say goodbye."
Since Lai Yao is leaving, there is no need to stay. Anyway, King Zhong is not familiar with us. Li Siye is about to cross his hands, but Li Heng takes the initiative to say, "Li Siye will stay for the time being, I have something to say to you."
In the future, Li Heng Yao will send him out of the hall gate and stop on the steps. This is etiquette. Take one more step and more than one less rude. The remaining journey will be taken by Li Siye and Li Fuguo to send Yao outside the palace. The entourage who came to the custody came out of the side door, and Li Siye also went to see him off from the side door.
Although he didn't know these people at all, he still bowed his fists one by one. Lai Yao's personal guards bowed their fists and replied. Isn't it a big mistake for many people to give them a fists?
He and Li Fuguo returned to the palace. Li Heng had already arrived in the side hall and sat casually on the carpet. The dancers were dancing in circles in the hall, while the musicians were still accompaniment in low voices, without any inconsistency.
He reached out and summoned Li Siye and said, "Li Lu led you, please come and sit down."
Li Siye was still kneeling, but Li Heng waved his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite, just sit a little casually."
Since King Zhong had spoken, Li Siye simply sat on the ground and asked humbly: "I don't know what instructions did your Highness have to give me."
Li Heng asked with a smile: "Your method of making cold skin, can you tell me the steps? I am willing to copy it down. I... like this food too."
It turned out to be this, Li Siye happily agreed: "You should tell me everything."
There were already documents next to him taking out the paper, dipping the pen tube into ink to prepare, Li Siye explained in detail, writing the documents quickly, and asking patiently if there were any questions he didn't understand.
After the copying was completed, Li Heng instructed Li Siye for a few more words before letting him go.
It was not Li Fuguo who sent him out, but an ordinary eunuch. Li Siye returned to the gate of the palace, breathed a sigh of relief, and then left.
...
Li Heng and Li Fuguo sat cross-legged in the hall, letting the singer linger, but the two were talking about the prince.
"Your Majesty is so taboo about Li Siye, and he also entrusts you to be a middleman to get him from the prince to the Western Regions. I think the prince's position is unstable."
"Not necessarily." Li Heng shook his head and said, "With Zhang Jiuling and Zhang Gong in the court, he abides by the court rules and will definitely not change the prince."
"Your Highness should have heard of it. Two incidents happened this fall, which made Your Majesty very dislike Zhang Jiuling. One was that the matter of promoting Zhang Shougui to be the subordinate of the Secretariat Pingzhang was rejected by Zhang Jiuling. The other was that when Your Majesty went from Chang'an to the Eastern Capital, Zhang Xianggong was afraid that the saint's lord would be trampled on the wheat fields and seedlings of the people, and he insisted on delaying until the end of October before leaving. Although both of these things followed Zhang Xianggong's opinions, they destroyed His Majesty's trust in him."
"Zhang Jiuling, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, cannot be long. His Royal Highness, without the protection of Mr. Zhang, may not last long. We will probably have to have a good relationship with King Shou in the future."
Li Heng shook his head and said, "No, whether Li Ying is the crown prince or Li Mao is the crown prince, it has nothing to do with me. We don't need to deliberately please anyone, just be our own idle prince carefully and don't have any connection with the affairs between them."
He then sighed: "The prince was able to escape the methods of Concubine Hui and others the first two times, and it was all because of Li Siye's operation in front. Now that Li Siye has been sent to the Western Regions, I wonder how long the prince can last."
Li Fuguo stuffed his hands into his sleeves, lowered his head and said softly: "As far as I see, whether Li Siye is by the prince's side or not, he will not change the fate of the prince. He will always be defeated by the Queen Hui and lose the position of the prince."
Li Heng looked up and thought, and asked in a daze: "You mean, Li Siye is not true? Can't help the prince deal with the crisis?"
"Your Highness, no. It is said that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. The prince is arrogant and unruly by nature, and his gentleness is changeable. His advantage is that he is free and easy to be tolerant and does not criticize his subordinates easily. This is a good thing for the officials of the East Palace. Who would be unhappy with such a generous family? But his ears are soft, so he is gentle and has many things that must be done, but he cannot do due to feelings. So he can only use Li Siye's wisdom, but not his wisdom."
Li Heng raised his head and asked, "Is there any difference between wisdom and wisdom?"
Li Fuguo smiled and said, "Your Highness, this difference is so great. Wisdom is just a cleverness. You can only solve problems and gain temporary benefits. Wisdom is the great wisdom. You can understand it as a criterion and benefit you endlessly in this life."
"Jingzhong,"
"I'm here."
"Do you see if I have Dahui?"
"Good, Your Highness does have great wisdom, but his wisdom does have shortcomings."
"Haha, I just like you to tell the truth."
As the saying goes, if you have something to do, you will have something to do. Li Fuguo is extremely ugly, but he is clever and extremely smart, which is why he will soon be trusted by Li Heng.
