Chapter 527 ?

When he heard Yuchi Baolin speak out and expel guests, Li Zhi really wanted to stand up and leave, but when he thought of the purpose of this trip, Li Zhi sat there motionlessly. After a while, he barely changed his face and waved his hands with no fun, "Forget it, I'll just sit and wait."

Seeing that Li Zhi was still not leaving, his face became even worse, but considering the other party's identity, Yuchi Baolin finally let out a heavy breath and sat down again to accompany Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was even more upset when he looked at Yuchi Baolin who was sitting under the black tower. As we all know, in recent years, Li Chengqian was extremely unfriendly to the second generation of officials in the court, especially those veterans who were loyal to Li Shimin, always suppressed them intentionally or unintentionally.

This made many second-generation officials very dissatisfied with Li Chengqian. Even though their family has not been suppressed yet, anyone can see Li Chengqian's intention to suppress the gentry. These officials' children with close ties with the gentry naturally had no good feelings for Li Chengqian. Even the young children of the Crown Princess Su's family complained in private.

Li Chengqian has indeed done a lot of good things for the Tang Dynasty in recent years, but these are not good things for the gentry and the second generation of officials in the court.

Because the greater the merits Li Chengqian established, the greater the power to suppress the gentry and officials. Everything else was fine, especially the overseas ceasing that he was dedicated to promoting, and many people and families were difficult to accept.

This is why Li Chengqian is already at its peak, but Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji still hold on to the hope of defeating Li Chengqian; Li Shimin will jump out if he is a little dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, and a large group of people will be ready to help deal with Li Chengqian.

As Li Shimin's only second legitimate son, Li Zhi had long colluded with these people. Fortunately, the gentry did not make a clear statement between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji, but most of the second generation of martial arts clearly supported Li Zhi because he was also Li Shimin's legitimate son, which was caused by Li Shimin's prestige among military generals.

But there are always a few mavericks who neither give Changsun Wuji nor buy Li Zhi's account. Yuchi Baolin is one of them.

Although Yuchi Gong was idle at home and was closed to thank guests, Yuchi Baolin was still an official in the army and had good martial arts skills. He was the target of Li Zhi's focus. He was rejected by Yuchi Baolin several times. For a while, Li Zhi felt chest tightness when he remembered Yuchi Baolin.

However, Li Zhi is someone who can fight with Changsun Wuji. No matter how annoyed Yuchi Baolin is, she is still able to live up to her face. Now that she has requests from others, her father is naturally more enthusiastic.

But Yuchi Baolin...it's really hard to describe.

When I sat in such a dull position, I felt that time had passed very slowly and I couldn't help but think: Where has this damn old man Yuchi gone?

...

...

"Ah sneezing!

The Royal Military and Political College, under the verdant bamboo forest, Yuchi Gong, who had gray beards suddenly sneezes, his face and beard are all covered with tears and snot, and he hurriedly wiped it with a towel.

Sitting opposite him was Li Jing, with pale hair and beard, and couldn't help laughing at Yuchi Gong's embarrassing look. But before he finished laughing, he felt a bad breath. He quickly stopped and stroked his chest with his hands, and did not forget to smile at Yuchi Gong's ugly appearance.

Li Jing, who is already 78 years old, needs to be weak, but he is in good spirits and has no illness. He is considered a top-notch figure in Chang'an City.

Li Jing's life to this age was already a miracle in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, he was a disciple of the Royal Military and Political Academy for many years.

Company commander Sun Wuji did not dare to provoke him easily. A few months ago, officials from the Eastern Palace were demoted from Chang'an, but Li Jing remained as if he was still in the mountains and still stayed in the Royal Military and Political Academy of the Tang Dynasty.

Today, Yuchi Gong came to Li Jing to ask him about the current situation of the court, while Li Jing kept playing Tai Chi with him without mentioning the serious matter.

Yuchi Gong was unhappy when he saw Li Jing dared to laugh at him. He shook his hand towel on the table, stared at two big yellow cow-like eyes, and looked at Li Jing with a very unkind look.

When Li Jing saw this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yuchi, don't glare at me, this is someone talking about you."

"I have long since closed my door to thank the guests, who still muttered me?" Yuchi Gong retorted directly.

"Of course it's the one who wants you to lead the troops-" Li Jing said it out soon.

When Yuchi Gong heard this, his eyes shone brightly, and he hurriedly put his big black face in front of Li Jing and said, "Tell me quickly!"

Seeing that there were a few yellow snot hanging on his gray beard, Li Jing was very disgusted and hurriedly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Go away from me."

When Yuchi Gong saw Li Jing's disgusting expression, he was not angry and turned his face forward, and said with a saliva: "Duke Wei, please talk quickly!"

Li Jing couldn't stand it, so he was about to get up and his arm was caught by Yuchi. He became annoyed and shouted loudly: "Yuchi, what do you want me to say?"

Yuchi Gong quickly let go, but his hands stopped Li Jing and refused to let him get up. He smiled and said, "Duke of Wei, just tell me what happened to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Jing gave Yuchi Gong a blank look and sat upright again. Seeing that Li Jing was about to speak, Yuchi Gong quickly sat back and looked at Li Jing with wide eyes.

But when he saw that Li Jing had not spoken, he sighed first.

Yuchi Gong said anxiously: "Duke Wei, please speak quickly, why are you sighing?"

This time, Li Jing was not angry, but turned his head and looked at Yuchi Gong calmly and said, "I am almost dead, and I am not at a loss to talk about it."

After hearing this, Yuchi Gong sighed in his heart. He was about to say something to comfort Li Jing, but Li Jing sighed: "Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty! It's going to go through another disaster!"

Yuchi Gong nodded silently after hearing this: he remembered that the first disaster was the Xuanwu Gate Incident that he personally participated in.

Li Jing glanced at him without mentioning the Xuanwu Sect Incident, and started to say: "Your Majesty's reputation for life!"

When Yuchi Gong heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty's heroic general was ruined by his lifetime?" After asking, his two big eyes stared at Li Jing, and his concern was beyond words.

Li Jing didn't look at Yuchi Gong and just shook his head and said, "I don't know, it depends on His Royal Highness."

"Duke of Wei thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would definitely return to Chang'an?" Yuchi Gong asked a question he was concerned about.

Li Jing already knew that Yuchi Gong had no confidence in Li Shimin in his heart, so he looked up at Yuchi Gong and said, "Yuchi, Your Highness the Crown Prince has never left Chang'an City."

"What?" Yuchi Gong was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly stood up and said, "Where is the prince? Why didn't he go to see His Majesty?"

When Li Jing heard this, his face filled with helpless smiles, he waved his hand to Yuchi Gong and said, "Listen to me."

Yuchi Gong was looking around, and when he heard this, he hurriedly fell to Li Jing and asked in a low voice: "Let me tell me where is the Prince?" As he said that, his eyes were still looking around, as if he was afraid that Li Chengqian would suddenly come out from somewhere.

Seeing this, Li Jing was even more helpless and had to say slowly: "I am not saying that the Crown Prince himself is in Chang'an City, but-"

"Who is in Chang'an City?" Yuchi Gong asked very directly.

Li Jing couldn't bear it, so he had to show the momentum of being promoted to the Central Army tent and said, "Sit back and listen to me finish my words."

When Yuchi Gong saw that he was indeed shocked, he quickly sat down with a correct attitude and said, "Hey! Hey! Please speak with Duke Wei, please speak with Duke Wei."

Li Jing did not look at him angrily, and said to himself: "Although His Highness, the Crown Prince, has been in charge of Yandu and expedition to Liaodong in recent years, the people of Chang'an City have not forgotten him! The benevolent government he implemented in Chang'an City has not stopped for a moment."

When Yuchi Gong heard this, he nodded and said, "This is true. I heard from my family that Liu went to the mansion a few days ago and still praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Jing smiled and said, "In the past, people living in Chang'an City either had officials or slaves. But how many powerful blacksmiths have added to the steel mill on Longshouyuan in recent years?"

Li Jing gave the answer directly without waiting for Yuchi Gong to speak: "Hundreds of thousands!"

Yuchi Gong was shocked and opened his mouth wide. He looked at Li Jing for a long time and said, "Are these people from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Jing was not deceived and just said, "They are all grateful for the kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Besides, farmers around Chang'an City can buy a satisfying farm tool with dozens of copper coins. Their lives are much better than before. Apart from living happily every day, these people are just thinking about His Royal Highness the Prince!”

After hearing this, Yuchi Gong nodded with emotion and said, "I just thought that His Highness the Crown Prince has such great merit to the people, so I was in a dilemma."

Li Jing heard that his words were not simple, and continued without any trace: "If Your Majesty knew about these things, he might have made other plans."

After hearing this, Yuchi Gong sighed helplessly and said, "How can Your Majesty know these things? The people around Your Majesty dare not let Your Majesty know!"

Li Jing couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. He knew that Yuchi Gong would not speak for Li Chengqian in front of Li Shimin, so he stopped saying anything.

The two were silent for a while, and Yuchi Gong asked again: "Duke of Wei, did you just say that someone was thinking about me?"

Li Jing thought for a moment and replied, "Look at how many people in the court can go to Tongguan?"

After hearing this, Yuchi Gong was shocked again and said, "Tongguan? Is Your Highness the Crown Prince still in Luoyang?"

Luoyang and Tongguan are separated by Hangu Pass. Hangu Pass is the largest barrier in Guanzhong, but Li Jing doesn't mention it. Yuchi Gong thought that Li Chengqian had already broken through Hangu Pass.

Seeing this, Li Jing stopped talking. He was very confident that Li Chengqian could easily pass Hangu Pass, but it was not yet time for the leak.

Looking at Yuchi Gong's eagerness for knowledge, he said irritably: "What do you want to do so far in Chang'an? Could it be that you want to guard Hangu Pass?"

Yuchi Gong was stunned when asked, and then said quite disheartenedly: "I am not as good as Li Shiji in terms of military tactics and strategies. When it comes to bravery, my old body is hard to beat Xue Rengui. What should I do?" When it comes to this, his face showed a sense of a hero's decline in his twilight years.

When Li Jing heard this, he thought that his health had been getting worse in the past few years, so he became silent.

After a while, Yuchi Gong sighed and turned over and stood up, and shouted: "I can only practice Taoism at home and prolong life, and can no longer be a pillar of the royal family." After that, he did not salute Li Jing, and then walked out with his head held high.

Li Jing looked at Xiongjiujiu and was so angry that he turned his face to the other side, and said to himself: "All people are going to lie down, who can I show you this way?"

When Yuchi Gong walked out of Taoyuan where Emperor Li Jing lived, he saw his entourage and the housekeeper leaning towards him, and it was obvious that he was coming to go home.

Something happens at home!

This thought flashed through Yuchi Gong's mind and cursed hatefully: Li Yaoshi is such a crow's mouth.

Yuchi Gong was thinking of a countermeasure there, but when he saw the housekeeper and his followers had seen him and were walking towards him, he was very anxious. However, he was a veteran who had been through the battlefield for a long time, and at this moment he thought of a countermeasure, which was a bit embarrassing.

But seeing that the butler was getting closer, Yuchi Gong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and walked forward.

The butler on the opposite side was very happy when he saw Yuchi Gong walking towards him. He quickly accelerated his pace to greet him, but saw Yuchi Gong, who was walking forward with great strides, suddenly staggered and hit the ground and stopped moving.

The two of them couldn't help but feel shocked and hurriedly ran forward.
