Xiaoqi

Saying all the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time in one breath, Huangfu Li couldn't help but choked up, and burst into tears in his grief, the tears flowed down his nose to his mouth, a bitter taste filled his heart.

Seeing his own child bursting into tears, Huangfusong felt sad and his eyes dimmed, but then he recovered and his expression tended to be calm.

"My father has already known what Li'er said, and my son's concerns are also empathetic to my father. But my son always underestimated Li Li, underestimated this son's heart, and even underestimated his strength." Aspirations and ambitions. As my son said, this time Li Li defeated all the heroes in the Central Plains, and the Xiliang Army won the championship. The power will shake the world, and it is bound to overwhelm the princes of the world. However, my father can say that Li Wenchang will return to the court this time. It will not be too ostentatious, or it may be very low-key, quietly return to Chang'an quietly, and definitely will not bully the emperor again.

Because he no longer needs to elevate his status by suppressing the emperor.To this day, his status, Li Wenchang, has already surpassed all the ministers. He is enshrined as a marquis and prime minister, three lords and nine ministers, and he can take whatever he wants. He can draft an imperial edict and stamp it with the seal of the emperor. , without asking anyone for instructions.However, there is only one thing that he will not and dare not presume at present, and that is to establish himself as a king or to force His Majesty to take the throne.

If Li Li really dared to do this, he would definitely make enemies in the world, forcing the princes of the world to rise up again and join forces to attack him. This would be tantamount to digging his own grave and bringing about his own destruction.Li Wenchang is as shrewd as a fox, with a lot of wit and tricks, and he will never fail to think of the stakes in it, so he will definitely not try to become a king, because now is not the time, the time is not yet ripe. "

Speaking of this, Huangfu Song let out a long sigh: "Ah! Seeing the collapse of the Han Dynasty, I was so worried about my father that I couldn't sleep all night. I lamented the misfortune of my Han Dynasty and mourned the incompetence of my subordinates. However, while lamenting, I You should know that the change of dynasties is the general trend. Since ancient times, no dynasty has lasted for thousands of years and never fell.

Right now, the one in my Huangfu family who wants to be loyal to the great man is the father, not you.To fight on the battlefield for the half of his father's life is to be loyal to the great man, and the little money he gets to support his heirs is also what he deserves, and he has a clear conscience.But you and Shou'er have been around for a few years now, but you have never been an official, and you have never received any salary, so you don't owe anything to the Liu family, and you don't even have any entanglements with the Liu family.To be loyal to the Han family, I, Huang Fusong, is enough. You juniors don't need to carry such a heavy burden, let alone bear it on behalf of your father. "

"That's right, as your Uncle Gongwei said, a father should be careful and act carefully. As a father, he is over sixty years old, and it is not a pity to die, but you and Shou'er must live a good life. The lifeblood of my Huangfu clan rests on your brothers." .Because of this, I only promised Dong Cheng two thousand armored soldiers, and if something happens, I can bear it on my father's shoulders, and you must not be too troublesome."

"Uh!" Huangfu Li looked at Huangfusong with a surprised expression, and said anxiously: "Why did the father say that? Since ancient times, the father's debts have been paid by the son, and the son is responsible for the father. If Dong Cheng's plan is revealed, the child is willing to replace it." Is there any reason for the father to accept the experience on behalf of the son?"

"I'm so confused!"

Huangfu Song was slightly annoyed when he heard the words, pointed at Huangfu Li and said, "Why don't you understand until now? The reason why my Huangfu family can live in peace, and there is no shortage of salary supplies, is all due to Li Jue and his nephew thinking of their fellow countrymen. The friendship, and the kindness of being a father in the past, can we enjoy the wealth and honor today. Otherwise, my Huangfu mansion must be the same as the mansions of other ministers and ministers. It has long been besieged by the soldiers of the county mansion, what can I do?"

Chapter 804

Thanks: book friend warman7956 monthly ticket support, thank you!

After speaking, seeing that Huangfu Li still looked confused, Huangfu Song finally revealed the secret that had been hidden in his heart for most of his life.

"Fool, why aren't you enlightened? Since ancient times, I, Xiliang, has been the land of dragon prosperity, and most of the emperors of all dynasties came from Xiliang. The reason why my father didn't want to take the military power from Dong Zhuo in the past was because of me, Huangfu. The family has been favored by the emperor for generations, and if they fail to plan things, they will be cast aside by the world and bring shame to their ancestors. Therefore, the military power is handed over to Dong Zhuo for his father.

Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo's achievements are more than failures, and he only seeks power for a while but has no long-term ambitions, so that his success is on the verge of failure.Now Li Li is only at the age of a weak crown, but he has a rare talent and strategy, and he will achieve great things in the future. My son should follow him, and he will definitely do something in the future.

As a father, he is already dying, and what he wants all his life is to protect the territory of the Han Dynasty, but it is not the Liu clan.However, the geese left their voices, and the others left their names. Knowing that there is not much time for the father, he will do his best for the Han Dynasty before he dies, so as not to insult the reputation of loyal ministers, that's all. "

"Ah! This..." After hearing these words, Huangfu Li was stunned, and the horror in his heart was beyond words.Before that, he had indeed criticized Huangfusong, always thinking that his father was too stubborn and pedantic, loyal to the Han family but not flexible.

There were countless opportunities before Huangfusong: when he quelled the Yellow Turban rebellion, he held more than [-] soldiers. Yan Zhong once persuaded Huangfusong to support himself with troops, but he refused;At that time, the world was in chaos, and Huangfu Li once advised him to make plans early, but he still refused; when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing.As long as Huangfu Song ascended to the top, he would achieve something, but he still didn't do so; during the Chang'an Rebellion, as long as he stepped forward to lead Dong Zhuo's old troops, he still had a lot to do, but he backed down again.

to this end.Everyone in the world thought that Huangfusong was too stupid and loyal, and did not know how to adapt, so that he missed many great opportunities to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.If only he changed a little bit.The world of the Han Dynasty will not be reduced to this point, all this is due to his stupid loyalty and stubbornness.But, who knows what he thinks in his heart?

He was born in the general family and was highly regarded by the Ling Emperor.At first, he was a servant when he became an official.Then he moved to the north to be the prefect, and since then he has risen rapidly, suppressing the Yellow Turban, Fu Qiang Rebellion, and suppressing the Kingdom, and is recognized by the world as a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.Little did he know that he was burdened by fame, so that there were many things that others could do, but he had too many scruples, so he couldn't do it and didn't dare to do it, otherwise his reputation would be ruined if he failed.Affects the whole family.

The suffering involved has been buried deep in Huangfusong's heart, and he has never mentioned it to anyone.Originally thought that this secret would accompany him for the rest of his life until it was buried underground.Unexpectedly, Huangfu Li has a stubborn personality, admits death, and wholeheartedly becomes an enemy of the Li family's uncle and nephew. This makes Huangfu Song no longer ignore him, and simply reveals his long-hidden secret.Because he already had a premonition that he would die soon, if he didn't say it now, he might not have a chance to say it in the future.Otherwise, if Huangfu Li's tendency to oppose Li Li continues to develop, not only will he not be able to protect himself, but the Huangfu family will also be implicated.

While the lights were flickering, the father and son looked at each other for a long time, then fell silent, only the oil lamp on the desk made a "chichi" sound.

After being silent for half an hour, Huangfu Li's unpredictable expression finally calmed down. The frivolity that was naturally revealed in his every move seemed to disappear in this short half an hour, and his whole person suddenly appeared stable. many.

"Father, don't worry. The child knows what to do in the future. He will live up to his father's high expectations and protect the people well." Huangfu Li said calmly and respectfully.

Huangfusong smiled gratifiedly, and gently took out a brocade bag from under the bamboo slips on the case table. This is a secret letter bag that only officials and eunuchs can afford, also called a brocade pouch.

After handing it over to Huangfu Li, Huangfu Song said softly: "I am old, but you are still young. To you in troubled times, it is like a good time when grass grows and warblers fly. You must not miss this opportunity. This is I wrote a recommendation letter for my father when I saw you off. There is also a secret letter written for my father to Guo Bang, the intention is to ask him to recommend it on his behalf. Now the Hanzhong war broke out, and Guo Bang is leading the army to confront Zhang Lu. For my father, I expected that Li Li would lead an army to conquer Zhang Lu in the near future. At that time, Guo Si would recommend you to Li Li, and you would follow Li Li to fight in the future. You must be loyal to him in this life. For my father, I believe in my own vision You can’t misjudge people. If you dare to have two ambitions and do something against you, you are not my son of Huangfusong!”

"No, my child obeys." Seeing that Huangfu Song's expression was unquestionable, Huangfu Li replied solemnly.

"It's just? My son doesn't understand. Why did my father ask Guo Si to recommend my son instead of Li Jue?"

Huangfusong nodded slightly after hearing the words, and said approvingly: "My son is indeed very alert, and my father really did not misjudge you. Hehehe!"

After laughing, he continued: "Although Dong Cheng was vague just now, my father could hear some conspiracy in his words. And those people who can cause trouble are limited to Chang'an City, so I faintly I feel that major events may happen in Chang'an City in the near future. Once something happens in Chang'an, it will definitely involve Li Jue. It is really inappropriate for my son to be involved in such internal struggles in the Li family. But it was a mess. His stepmother, Mrs. Yang, was arrogant and pungent. In the early years, she had a rift with Li Li, and she will definitely suffer from it in the future. Therefore, as a father, I would rather ask Guo Si to recommend it than you and Li Jue. Get involved so as not to be disliked by Li Li."

Huangfu Li Wenyan asked curiously: "Father means that the uncle and nephew of the Li family have had a rift for a long time, will it cause trouble for Xiao Qiang in the future?"

Huangfusong smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "You look at the uncle and nephew of the Li family too superficially. Earlier you looked down on Li Li and thought he was purely a lustful person, but you ignored how many young people are lustful Yes. As far as my father knows, you once fell in love with Dong Zhuo’s youngest daughter, Dong Wan, but it’s a pity that Dong Zhuo and Wei father were at odds after he came to power, and Li Li picked the golden flower of Dong’s family. Hehe hehe!"

"Uh! This..." Huangfu Li hesitated with reddened cheeks, and then said seriously: "Father made fun of the child. This is all a thing of the past. Why should a man live without a wife? There are so many good women in this world."

"If you can think like this, you can feel at ease as a father." Huangfu Song nodded lightly in deep agreement.He stroked his beard and said, "Before you underestimated Li Li, and now you underestimated Li Jue. When Dong Zhuo dominated the court, Li Jue had always been the number one Xiliang general in the Xiliang Army. No matter how favored he is, he can't be favored. Based on this verse alone, it is not difficult to see that Li Jue is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has extraordinary intelligence. He has deep scheming, and Lu Bu can't beat him at all.

However, compared with Li Jue.His nephew Li Li was a hundred times more talented than him.Therefore, no matter how Li Jue struggled, he was always under Li Li's control.Because of this, Li Jue has been unwilling to be reconciled since his nephew Li Li took away his military power in the early years.Still want to make a comeback.As a result, before Li Li could make a move, he was humiliated by Li Xuan, Li Ru and Jia Xu, and suffered a crushing defeat. Yang Ding, Hu Zhen, Wang Fang and others were also killed one after another.

After this defeat, Li Jue has completely adjusted his position, he will no longer have unreasonable thoughts, and he dare not have other thoughts.Although he was kind to Li Li in nurturing him, Li Li has been tolerant and tolerant again and again.He was never held accountable.But this does not mean that Li Li can endure it indefinitely, as evidenced by the deaths of Hu Zhen, Wang Fang and Yang Ding.In fact, these people have suffered for Li Jue, and they are also his minions.Now that these minions have been pulled out, what else can he do?

In other words, even though Li Li still thinks about his uncle and nephew and tolerates him again and again, the advisers under Li Li's command will not condone his misconduct.Today, Li Li has many generals and counselors under his command. There are many things that he is inconvenient to do by himself. He only needs to show his mouth a little, and someone will take care of some difficult things for him, including punishing Li Jue. .Therefore, rather than saying that there is a rift between the Li family's uncles and nephews, it is better to say that Li Jue has been completely subdued by his nephew, and everything he does is actually a manifestation of Li Li's intentions.Now, the uncle and nephew of the Li family have advanced and retreated together, cooperating very tacitly, nothing can cause a rift between them.However, as Li Li's status became higher and higher, he was instinctively wary of anyone, even Li Jue was no exception.Therefore, when my son enters the Xiliang Army, it doesn't matter who recommends him. If he wants to gain Li Li's trust, he has to rely on his own ability. "

After Huangfu Li heard the words, he nodded in agreement, and then the father and son talked about the Xiliang Army, and all the conversations revolved around Li Li.

That night, the oil lamp in the study was kept on, and the father and son talked all night long.And the content of the conversation that night completely changed the trajectory of Huangfu Li's fate, and it benefited him for the rest of his life.Originally, he died of illness not long after Huangfusong died of illness, and his frail elder brother Huangfu Jianshou also died of illness.However, it was precisely because of this letter of recommendation from Huangfusong that changed the fate of Huangfu Li, so that he was rescued by a doctor in the army when he was seriously ill, and it lasted for him for more than forty years. , but his final achievements are not inferior to his father Huangfusong.

However, Huangfusong, Huangfu Li and his son would never have imagined that when they were resting at dawn, a group of more than [-] iron cavalry, covered in morning dew, came galloping to the main gate of Meiwu, which was more than [-] miles away from Chang'an City. , passed through the city gate unhindered, and entered the private palace of Hussar General Li Li.

At this time, half a month had passed since the decisive battle in Loudiyuan, and two days ago, news came back that Li Li was about to return to court.Therefore, all the officials in North Korea, Chinese and Chinese all speculated that the army would arrive in Chang'an in three days. It was unbelievable that after only two days, a group of cavalry returned to Chang'an first, and they went straight into Meiwu Castle.

As the cavalry roared past like a gust of wind, the willows on both sides outside the city gate were lifted by the strong wind and swayed wantonly against the rising sun.The emerald green willow leaves swayed with the wind, and countless white fluffy catkins fluttered and fell into the moat not far away, and were carried away by the gurgling flowing water.

Green willows support the wind, spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, wild geese return to the north, and swallows return to their nests.

All of this indicates that the season when the grass grows and the warblers fly has arrived, and the men who leave home are also eager to return home at this time, wearing stars and wearing moons and beards to borrow wine, so that they can return home with the company of youth.

Chapter 805 Whose New Swallow Pecks Spring Mud

The sky is like water and the sun is shining brightly.

Wanle Palace, the palace gates are closed, not as lively as in the past.

This palace is the main palace of Meiwu, and the gate of the palace is wide open on weekdays, and the people who come in and out are all subordinate officials in charge of the internal affairs of the General's Mansion.

Most of these subordinate officials are female officials. They do not have formal official titles, but each of them has a detached status, managing hundreds of workshops and other properties under the name of the General's Mansion.

The name of the palace is similar to the Changle Palace of Chang'an Palace, which violates the etiquette system and is a taboo.

But even so, this palace has existed for several years.It can be traced back to when it was first built. The purpose of building this palace is to surpass the Chang'an Palace and become the Xiaoyao Palace that surpasses the Changle Palace.

This famous "Xiaoyao Palace" is Dong Zhuo's masterpiece, and it is regarded as a "demon cave" by all officials in the court.

Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to spend millions of gold to build this huge palace complex. He originally planned to enjoy it in his later years, but unfortunately he let go of immortal travel less than a year after the completion of the palace.So this Xiaoyao Palace became a marriage for others, and was taken by Li Li, the Xiaoqi general who later quelled the Chang'an Rebellion, and became the residence of General Wei, which is now the other courtyard of General Hussar.

The owner of Wanle Palace is naturally the general himself, but he has a general's mansion in charge of military and political affairs in Chang'an City, so the actual principals here are his six wives.

That's right, it is the six wives.Nowadays, many people in Chang'an City still think that Li Li has three wives and eight concubines under his name, but it is not the case.In fact, as early as the day of Li Li's big wedding, he married six wives at once, and the six confidante who followed him at the beginning were all wives.Instead of a concubine's room.As soon as this matter got out, it caused quite a stir at the time, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an uproar.Just because these six wives are still ranked.Therefore, outsiders still subconsciously regard him as three wives and three concubines, and the concubines he married later will not attract attention.After all, taking concubines is very common. It is not uncommon for all the officials in the Manchu Dynasty to marry a concubine every other year or so.

The warm sun was in the sky, approaching noon.

In the past, at this time, the wives of the General's Mansion would come to Wanle Hall for a walk.Take a look, if there is a difficult matter, they will solve it smoothly.Li Li's concubine, Zhang Ai, is the person in full charge of the property under the name of the General's Mansion on a daily basis.That is, Zhen Zhang, the former helm of the Zhen family consortium, but she has long distanced herself from the Zhen family, and the Zhen family has her fake son Zhen Yan take over the family business.

Today, Mrs. Zhang is a veritable female God of Wealth.He holds billions of dollars of wealth under the name of the General's Mansion.Therefore, this Wanle Hall is her "office building".But Mrs. Zhang is well aware of etiquette, and knows how to maintain the status and prestige of the wives. Therefore, whenever major decisions and large expenditures are made, she will ask the six "sisters" for instructions, and only start to implement them after obtaining their unanimous approval. .Because of this, Li Li's backyard has always been stable, and many wives and concubines are as close as sisters.It is very harmonious, which also allows him to concentrate on the war without distraction.Don't worry about housework.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Sili, Li Li has been fighting outside for a long time and has no time to care about others. It lasted for more than half a year, which inevitably left out all the beautiful wives and concubines.But his wives and concubines were also unambiguous, they emptied him before going out for the battle, and spent two days and two nights without sleep, lingering to death, and then stuffed him with three new concubines: Step Trainer, Xiao Qiao and Que Yue'er .
