Chapter 686: Parting Ways
After Li Bowen finished speaking, he looked at Li Bozhi and said: "Brother, you have to pull your brother this time, otherwise your brother's life will either be confessed in Chang'an, or you will have to be confessed in Taiyuan!" ”
Li Bozhi played a slippery head at this time, he said: "Brother, you see my brother and I are like this, even if you pull me, I can't get up from the bed, my bones are broken, I'm like this, how can I pull my brother you!" ”
Li Bowen scolded secretly in his heart, but he now has something to ask Li Bozhi, so although he really wants to break Li Bozhi's bones a few more, he can only squeeze out a smile on his face, and now he can't afford to offend others.
Li Bowen laughed dryly twice and said, "Brother, don't hide it, that Yan King Yang Ze is afraid that he has seen through the strategy of our two families, so he sent someone to intercept me halfway and insulted me......"
Hearing this, before Li Bowen finished speaking, Li Bozhi became excited, his eyes lit up, and he said: "How did Yang Ze insult you, I didn't expect him to like men, what is the specific process, let's talk about it!" ”
Li Bowen suddenly felt that his head hurt even more, he touched the big bag on the door of his head, and said, "Brother, don't laugh, it's not the kind of insult you said." ”
He told the story of the matter, but he added a lot of his own imagination, and added imagination to the process, this way of narrating things makes it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
In order to achieve his goal, Li Bowen deliberately said that Yang Ze saw through the strategy of the two old princes, what bets on both sides, no matter which one wins, can keep the other one's practice, Yang Ze has seen through it, and Yang Ze has decided to fight back, Yang Ze is not rare at all The two old princes of Taiyuan, and a group of lords have taken refuge.
Moreover, Li Bowen also said how rude Wang Peilun, the servant of the Criminal Department, was to himself. Let people press their heads and kowtow to him.
He said that he was extremely pitiful, and then changed his words, focusing on saying that because he had no official and no title, he would be looked down upon by Wang Peilun, so now if he wants to continue to implement the plan, there is only one way, that is, let the old prince of Taiyuan, that is, his grandfather Prince Cheng, come to see Yang Ze in person. And it means refuge.
After Li Bozhi listened, he thought for a long time and said: "It's impossible for your grandfather to come to Chang'an, in fact, he is waiting in Taiyuan, but since he wants to take refuge, he doesn't take the initiative, but he has to wait for King Yan to arrive in Taiyuan, and then go to take refuge, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for King Yan to agree." Maybe I'll insult you again. ”
"So, this won't work, the original plan has to be changed." Li Bowen said.
"And what do you want to change?"
Li Bowen had already thought about what to do, and he said, "Just say that I came with you." Because the protective messenger was injured, aren't we both injured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should believe it when he sees the appearance of the two of us. ”
Li Bozhi was embarrassed. He didn't dare to make the decision to change the plan temporarily, he said: "You have to send someone back to ask your grandfather first, not only your grandfather must agree." My grandfather has to say yes, let's make a decision in private, this is not appropriate! ”
Li Bowen hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone back to Taiyuan to wait for my grandfathers to make a decision." However, we can't wait for our grandfathers to decide everything, we still have to have a burden ourselves, after all, we have to fight for the future in the future, and we can't always rely on our grandfathers. ”
Li Bozhi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't dare to make the decision, so he had to say: "But what if you follow me to see the prince, and then your grandfather's decision comes down, but you are still asked to go to King Yan, what should I do?" ”
This is a very strict question, because Li Bozhi thinks that he can only do this kind of thing once, and he takes refuge in the prince, that is, he is in charge with King Yan, and there is no second situation, but Li Bowen immediately let him know that there can still be a second situation.
Li Bowen said: "It doesn't matter, if the grandfathers' decision is the same as before, or let me go to King Yan, then I will go to King Yan, and tell King Yan that I went to the prince to be a meticulous worker, and I heard a lot of inside information, such as His Royal Highness the Prince wants to deal with King Yan and wants to detain King Yan's grain and grass or something." ”
"Then, wouldn't that offend the prince a lot!" Li Bozhi was shocked, he couldn't guess that Li Bowen would think so.
Li Bowen laughed dryly twice and said: "If my grandfathers still want me to take refuge in King Yan, it will be a tear with the prince, and what does it have to do with the size of the offended!" ”
The expression on Li Bozhi's face was still very shocked, as if he had seen Li Bowen for the first time, as if he had just met this kind of cousin, he muttered: "But, how can you take the initiative to take refuge first, and then regret it, this, this, brother, in this way, where is the temperance?" ”
"Discipline?" Li Bowen sighed, shook his head and said, "What is the festival, I don't know for my brother!" ”
Li Bozhi had nothing to say, but his expression was very unnatural, he said: "No matter what you think and what you want to do, but this matter is not a trivial matter, I still have to report it to my grandfather, little brother, you can't just send someone back." ”
"Then do whatever you want, brother." Li Bowen got up to say goodbye and walked out of Li Bozhi's house.
For Li Bowen, he has long been fed up with his grandfather's decision, he doesn't want to be a wreck anymore, he wants to build himself well, create a career of his own, as for the festival or something, forget it, let it go with the wind!
There was no room in the inn, so Li Bowen and the palace guards sat in the lobby, and they couldn't lie down, so they sat and dozed off.
Li Bozhi lay on the bed, enduring the pain of the broken bones, he thought for a while, then shouted at the other side of the room, and someone outside immediately agreed, as soon as the door opened, Li Mofeng poked his head in from the outside and asked: "Uncle Bozhi, what's the matter with you, your nephew is outside!" ”
Li Mofeng is very good at sycophancy, he saw Li Bowen coming, and he knew that something big must have happened, so he specially waited outside the door, as long as Li Bozhi called someone, he would be the first to appear, so as to leave a good impression on the little county king.
Li Bozhi called him into the house and said, "I want to write a letter to my grandfather, you prepare the four treasures of the study, and then help me up." ”
Li Mofeng agreed, hurriedly put the four treasures of the study on the table, and then went to help Li Bozhi, but as soon as Li Bozhi sat up, he cried out in pain. Li Mofeng had no choice but to put him down again.
Li Mofeng asked: "Uncle Bozhi, what do you want to write, if it's not something confidential, the little nephew can do it for you, Uncle Bozhi, you just need to say it, and when the little nephew finishes writing, you can sign it." ”
Li Bozhi hesitated slightly, feeling that there was nothing worth keeping secret, Li Bowen was here, making such a big move. I can't hide it if I want to, I can't write it myself anyway, so I just let Li Mofeng help write it, so he said: "Okay, then I said, you record, but what is recorded today must not be passed on, otherwise we are relatives." That's not to blame uncle, I'm ruthless. ”
Li Mofeng hurriedly said: "Where does Bozhi speak, the little nephew's mouth has always been the strictest. He sat down at the table, picked up his pen, and looked at Li Bozhi. Wait for him to speak.
Li Bozhi thought about it, organized the language, and said the content of the letter, which was actually very simple. That is to say, Li Bowen was insulted by Wang Peilun, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and now Li Bowen ran to him, and then asked the king of Jingdejun. Do you want Li Bowen to go with him and go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together, or do it as originally planned, Yunyun.
Literally, if you don't know the inside story, then you can't see anything, but Li Mofeng is so good at being a person, he is naturally well-informed, and he is also good at brain supplementation.
Li Mofeng's writing hands trembled, and while writing, he thought to himself: "So that's the case, it seems that the two old princes want to bet on both sides, but it's a pity that King Yan doesn't want Prince Cheng to take refuge at all, so now he can only support the prince's faction." ”
Whether it is Prince Cheng or King Jingdejun, they will not tell the plan to the big and small lords of Taiyuan, the big and small lords only need to follow them to do things, and the two old princes neither need their construction, nor do they plan to discuss the big plan with them, so the big and small lords don't know about betting on both sides, and naturally their children don't know either.
But after this letter was written, Li Mofeng guessed that the two old princes had this idea, but now they can only bet on one side, and they can only take refuge in the crown prince Li Chongjiu.
Li Mofeng didn't think that the crown prince Li Chongjiu could win, but he felt that King Yan had a better chance of winning, but others were soft-spoken, and he was not qualified to put forward any opinions at all, and he didn't have the guts.
Putting the letter in the envelope, Li Mofeng pretended to be calm and asked, "Uncle Bozhi, who should the little nephew ask to go back to deliver the letter?" ”
Li Bozhi said: "You haven't given me the letter yet, I still have to sign it, why are you in such a hurry to put the letter up, bring it to me quickly." ”
Beads of sweat appeared on Li Mofeng's forehead in an instant, he was still not calm enough, he couldn't do it like he was fine, he was still nervous, he even forgot to sign it, and quickly took out the letter and handed it to Li Bozhi.
Li Bozhi signed the letter at the end of the letter with a pen, and also drew a code, this code is very complicated, it was invented by the king of Jingde County, specially used to write secret letters, after signing and drawing, Li Bozhi said: "Send two guards from my house, send the letter tonight, and tell them to bring back the reply early." ”
Li Mofeng hurriedly agreed, went out with the letter, called the guards of the two county palaces, and asked them to take the letter away. After finishing the matter, Li Mo returned to his room, anxious, he felt that if the princes of Taiyuan wanted to save their lives, they either did not stand in line, or they had to stand in the team of the strong, but this time he bet on the action, he thought that the old prince had bet on the wrong treasure, and he thought that King Yan would have the last laugh and be the winner.
Li Mofeng thought to himself: "It's a pity that I'm nothing, and my father is not an important person, just a viscount, but I don't want to join the loser's side, how can I protect myself?" ”
This is a very strict question, when he wants to change camps, but he can't find a suitable opportunity, Li Mofeng is very anxious, but for a while, he can't think of any way.
Early the next morning, Li Bozhi asked someone to carry him out of the guest room, ate some porridge in confusion, got into a large carriage, and went on the road with the guards, and he did not invite Li Bowen to go with him.
Li Bowen was angry in his heart, thinking that this cousin was too uninteresting, he didn't give any face, and he was so good to him before, this time he can be regarded as seeing people's hearts clearly. However, he thought about it for a while, but found that he didn't treat this cousin very well before, and he couldn't remember a good thing, so he had to give up, but he was still angry about Li Bozhi not calling him.
The guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion came to ask him if he wanted to go with him?
Li Bowen gritted his teeth, called the palace guards over, and said in a low voice: "They are walking slowly, but we can't afford to delay time, it is better for us to run to the front, and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince one step ahead of them, and I will explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince The purpose of our coming to Chang'an this time, the merit of supporting will be here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be preconceived, and seeing Li Bozhi again will not be very good to him." ”
When the palace guards heard this idea, they didn't squeak, they all felt that the brotherhood in these years was really worthless, and they had already calculated each other before they started to do business, but they were people from Prince Cheng's Mansion, and they had to support Li Bowen no matter what happened at this time, this is a matter of the ass deciding the head!
Li Bowen saw that the guards had no objections, so he immediately called the shopkeeper and threw out a few copper coins. So, Li Bowen took dozens of his palace guards and ran to Chang'an City.
Li Bozhi led the team for a long time, and then he asked through the curtain of the car: "What about Li Bowen, did he follow?" ”
The person closest to the carriage outside is Li Mofeng, he has a lot of worries, he didn't sleep well last night, he is in a state of dissociation, to Li Bozhi to ask, he looked behind, did not see Li Bowen, he replied casually: "Uncle Bowen didn't follow, it is estimated that he is still in the town, do you want the little nephew to go back and ask him, let him go with us?" ”
Li Bozhi snorted and said, "No need to call, if he wants to keep up, even if he has no face, he will still follow, don't lose face This is his family heirloom." ”
Li Mofeng laughed dryly, and thought: "Don't lose face, this should be the family heirloom of all the royal families in Taiyuan!" ”
Let's say, Li Bowen ran all the way with the palace guards, and in less than an hour, he actually entered Chang'an City, and if he wanted to run wild again after entering the city, he was looking for death, so he could only slow down his horse, and when it was almost noon, he arrived at the east of the imperial city, and not far away was the main gate of the East Palace.
Li Bowen dismounted, puffed up his chest, strode to the gate of the East Palace, and said to the imperial guards guarding the door: "So, Li Bowen, the grandson of Prince Cheng, came from Taiyuan, and I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for something, and I hope that the generals will help me to pass through." ”
The imperial guard guarding the door glanced at him a few times, and then his eyes stayed on Li Bowen's forehead, although Li Bowen was wearing a hat, but his forehead was bruised, which was extremely obvious, at this time, the big bag had been swollen, but the big bag was gone, and the bruise was even stricter, making Li Bowen's entire forehead blue and purple, and even his appearance had a distorted feeling.
"Prince Cheng's grandson, that's the little prince, what proof do you have?" The imperial guard stretched out his hand and shook it at Li Bowen. (To be continued......)
