As Xue Chongxun expected, the eunuch Yu Liben received a completely different courtesy when he arrived in Youzhou.
Because Yu Liben took the official road, he first issued a consultation to inform the Youzhou government, and then he came by a boat openly.
Officials below Li Shouli were prepared for a long time. From greeting to arranging food, accommodation and travel, they should do things according to the rules, and Yu Liben didn't need to worry about it himself.
Yu Liben is just a matter of internal affairs and is not an important person at first, but he was sent by the capital and was sent out with the interview, so local officials should pay special attention.
Otherwise, if that guy goes back and says a few bad things, it is far apart and cannot be verified in time, Li Shouli will be in a lot of trouble.
That night, Li Shouli personally received the meeting and held a banquet for entertainment.At the banquet, Yu Liben felt that the nobles of this clan were rude and had no particular words, which was similar to those in Chang'an.
When the wine was over, Li Shouli talked about his past in the capital in public and said sadly: I remember when Emperor Xiao (Zhongzong Li Xian) ascended the throne, everyone was very happy, and the kings often had banquets together.Sometimes, although the weather is dark, I tell everyone: It’s almost clear.Soon it cleared up; sometimes it was in the heat for ten days, but I said: It was going to rain.Sure enough, it started to rain in time.Someone reported this to the emperor: Brother Bin is very knowledgeable about weather.Later, when the emperor saw me, he asked me the reason and said, "I have not studied it, and there is no other reason for this matter. I remember that when the Queen of Heaven was in charge of politics, Prince Zhanghuai was guilty. I was imprisoned in the palace for more than ten years, and I was beaten several times every year, covered with scars.Now, when it rains soon, my back will feel dull; when it is almost sunny, my back will feel light and healthy.It is because of this way that I can predict the sun and rain, not because of research.’After saying this, the emperor was so sad that he gave me the governor of Youzhou.I am so happy and happy in the past two years, thank you for your grace.
After talking about the past, everyone sighed. Yu Liben remained silent, laughed dryly and echoed a few times, and said sharply: Isn’t the envoy coming to the end of his hardships now?The title of the governor of Youzhou is still second. I heard that the eldest son of Taiping of Zhenguo Duke of Wei was very much attracted to Princess Jincheng. If he could settle the Tubo envoys and marry him, the envoy's good life would be in the future.
The Princess Jincheng mentioned by Yu Liben is Li Shouli's biological daughter. Although she was adopted by Emperor Zhongzong of Tang since she was a child, the fact that Li Shouli's lineage cannot be changed.
Yu Liben said nothing wrong. If he really wants to marry, Li Shouli will be closer to the political center.
At this time, Li Shouli was about to say something, but was interrupted by a bearded man sitting next to him. Pan Big Beard advised impolitely: You are drunk, you are rude. Let's take a break first, let your colleagues accompany you here.
Li Shouli was happy and was very upset after hearing this. But when he saw the bearded Pan Haoli winks, he suppressed his depression and reluctantly agreed...
Because he still understood that the ministers around him often contradicted him, but they often helped him solve his problems well. Li Shouli relied on them very much.
Eunuch Yu, I can’t bear to drink, so I’ll take my leave first, please use it slowly.Li Shouli got up and retreated to the backyard, and Pan Haoli hurriedly supported him.
The two of them came to the backyard. As soon as they walked to the corridor, Pan Haoli frowned and complained: Why did the envoy talk about those things?
Li Shouli's back is a bow, a little hunched, and her demeanor is really obscene, but her face is very sloppy, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wide forehead and tall nose. Her skin is still very good in her forties and fifties, and she has no age spots at all...
No wonder she gave birth to a princess Jincheng so beautiful.
He glared and said: Yu Li is an old eunuch. I just talked to my acquaintances about the past and revealed a little bit of gratitude. What's wrong with it?
Pan Dahuzi was very helpless, with a look of regret, and no matter how high or low the superiors and inferiors were, he stomped his feet and cursed: What are your thoughts? Ah?Are you familiar with Yu Liben? Do you know where he is?The capital is now unpredictable, and the relationship is so complicated. How can you spit out the bird's thoughts in front of an eunuch?Whose kindness do you thank?Emperor Xiao’s lineage is no longer in his position. Can the emperor win your love today, and can the peace win your love?
Is it very serious?Li Shouli asked in a feeling of something wrong.
Pan Dahuzi said: It’s hard to say now. What is this Yu Liben going to Youzhou to do?Investigate the canal transportation?The canal transportation is a matter of eunuchs and birds!We must first figure out which side Yu Liben is, so that you must not talk nonsense again!
At this moment, a tall man with elegant demeanor and a beautiful mountain walked in. When Li Shouli and Pan Dahuzi saw that they were the chief secretary Yuan Jiazuo, and one of the very capable people under Li Shouli's tent.
Yuan Jiazuo's temperament is not as impatient as Pan Dahuzi, and said calmly: At the banquet just now, the eunuch had a very profound saying.When I saw the envoy and Brother Pan come in, I found an excuse to come and take a look.
Pan Dahuzi said: Are you talking about Yu Liben’s mention of Princess Jincheng?
Yuan Jiazuo closed his eyes and nodded, and said thoughtfully: Princess Jincheng must marry into Tubo. This is a national policy decided after discussion by court officials. What is the purpose of Eunuch Yu involved in Princess Taiping's son?
Pan Dahuzi rubbed his hands anxiously: I think this thing that is neither male nor female is mostly from the prince's side, so he ran over to test the envoy.
Li Shouli said in surprise: Test... what should I test me?
Pan Dahuzi rolled his eyes and said: Taiping wants to learn from her mother to control the government. Everyone knows that this matter is still new?But Taiping cannot be called emperor directly, and the emperor still needs the men of the Li family... She used to rely on this today, but the prince was disobedient in the past two years, so Taiping's family probably was thinking about some conspiracy.The prince is not careful?If something big happens in Beijing, I will definitely not be able to sit steadily today. Who will I change?
The three of them looked at each other, who did they change?
If Taiping suddenly sets a coup and succeeds, who will become the emperor?
The lineage of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Xian, was carried out by the Shenlong coup, and Taiping also participated in the Shenlong coup. Of course, it cannot admit that the Shenlong coup was illegal, so it cannot support Zhongzong's descendants, otherwise it would be a slap in the face; the children and grandchildren of Li Dan today do not need to consider it. Taiping originally wanted to mess with them...
Then the legitimacy of the lineage of Prince Zhang Huai, the brother of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang and the current emperor, is reasonable, and Prince Zhang Huai was the first to be the crown prince, and is older than Li Xian and Li Dan.
Yuan Jiazuo pondered: The key is that Taiping really wants to turn against the palace revolution in the capital?We have been in Youzhou for several years and are too far away to figure out this out.
Pan Dahuzi widened his eyes and said: If they really want to do it, they will not be able to be safe in Youzhou!
Brother Pan, don’t be anxious. I think the situation has not reached that point yet, so be careful.Yuan Jiazuo advised.
Li Shouli looked very ugly and said with a sad face: I think Youzhou is pretty good, why don’t others let me stay well... What kind of situation will I encounter in the future?
Yuan Jiazuo comforted him with kind words: Please don’t be anxious, the matter has not reached that point, so you can make a long-term plan.
Pan Dahuzi said with a cannon: There are two possibilities: First, being pushed to the top position, although he was not very comfortable, he would definitely live better in Chang'an than in the remote area of Youzhou, and your sons' titles and wealth would be much better than now; second, if you are not in the right position, the governor of Youzhou should not think about doing it. Maybe he was killed, or he might be imprisoned like before and continue to suffer...
Li Shouli was anxious: I'd better die. That kind of dark life is really not something that humans live. I often worry about being beaten for no reason!
Yuan Jiazuo hurriedly advised Li Shouli to rest and make him think about it for a long time.
After sending Li Shouli back to the inner house, the two officials came out together. Pan Dahuzi pulled Yuan Jiazuo to find a secluded place and said in a deep voice: You have no opinion, but this matter may be a great opportunity for us.
What is the solution?Yuan Jiazuo asked.
Pan Dahu Man whispered: Will Yuan Lang be willing to stay in this broken place in Youzhou for the rest of his life?Chang'an is the place where we are enterprising!As long as the king can take up the throne, will our group of people also rise?
Yuan Jiazuo remained silent. He had been in love with Pan Dahuzi for more than ten years and still had a deep understanding. This person is anxious and uneasy... Isn't he just lying on his back on the official road a few days ago just for a reputation?
The messenger treats us well, so let’s think about him more.
Yuan Jiazuo said lightly.
His words are very clear. He instigated Li Shouli to participate in the power struggle. In the end, if he failed, he would be the one who would be in a desperate situation. These bureaucrats below still had a way out, so the biggest risk was put on Li Shouli.
Pan Dahuzi said coldly: How can you make the best for you by seizing the opportunity compared to waiting for death?Suppose that the Beijing is really a clenching force and the king will become neutral. In the end, both sides will not be pleased, and no one can get the best of us!
Yuan Jiazuo was not angry and insisted: This must be done!If the people from Taiping really come to us, we can’t wait and do nothing; if others don’t pay attention to the envoy, what will we get involved?
...So Yu Liben's arrival is a very small thing. Although Youzhou is calm on the surface, people inside have already smelled the scent of a storm.
Xue Chongxun, who was mixed in the West City Inn, still did not move. Is this called a private visit?
Others are in the light, and they are in the dark.
He wanted to take a look at the situation first and then take action further...
Is this a big deal or a small deal? Maybe it will have a big relationship. If the news is not done, it will leak, but it does not mean that Taiping has ulterior motives and has begun to turn against each other?
I was unfamiliar with the place, and several guards were sent out by Xue Chongxun to find out the news. Xue Chongxun and Sanniang were together and thoughtfully said: I think the bearded man I met a few days ago was a breakthrough... If you said he was just to persuade Li Shouli, why didn't he persuade him in advance?I have to wait until someone leaves the city before I lay down on the road and do this?
Because Yu Liben took the official road, he first issued a consultation to inform the Youzhou government, and then he came by a boat openly.
Officials below Li Shouli were prepared for a long time. From greeting to arranging food, accommodation and travel, they should do things according to the rules, and Yu Liben didn't need to worry about it himself.
