【Chapter 250】 It's hard to give up, take precautions

Longxiang Li Mansion.

"Wenchang, I just received an order from General Xiangguo, let me set off immediately and return to Anyi." In the study, as soon as Li Wei entered the door, he directly explained his intentions.

"Oh, so fast?" Li Li said slightly stunned.

Li Dao bowed his head and said, "Yes, a very sudden order. This is the Prime Minister's Assistant's Decree coming to pass the order, and it will definitely not be wrong. In addition, I was informed that other generals in the army had received the same military order, telling them to return to their garrisons immediately and not to stay in Chang'an. ”

"Uncle means there's something strange in this?" Li Li pondered and asked.

Li Wei shook his head slightly and said: "It's not strange, it's just that my uncle has an ominous premonition, and he always feels that this matter is not as simple as it seems, but he can't figure out what the problem is." Wenchang, you haven't received a military order yet, have you? ”

"I haven't received an order from Sangkook for the time being. However, since the generals in the army have received orders to return to the station, it is expected that I will be here soon. After all, I am at odds with Lu Bu, and Xiangguo will not let me stay in Kyoto for a long time, lest there be another conflict and make him embarrassed. Li Li said casually.

"Uncle came to see you when he was leaving, just to tell me about it. Now you and Bongxian are the most trusted people in Xiangguo, and once there is another conflict between you, Xiangguo is afraid that he will be angry, and the result will be unimaginable. Li Wei nodded and said.

Li Li grinned and said, "Uncle, don't worry. My nephew is not the kind of person who doesn't know what is important, and he will not fight with Lu Bu anymore, and my uncle doesn't have to worry about me. ”

"Bang Bang!" Just as Li Wei was smiling and about to speak, there was a quick knock on the door.

"Li Zhi, what's the matter?" Li Li immediately got up and opened the door and asked in a deep voice.

"Someone from the palace is here, waiting for the lord in the lobby." Li Zhi continued.

A cold light suddenly flashed in Li Li's eyes, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's just that you want me to leave Chang'an City, and you actually gave me a holy decree." I really look up to me Li! ”

"Wenchang, go and receive the order, you will return to Liangzhou sooner or later." Li Wei stood behind Li Li and said softly.

Li Li turned his head and said with a smile: "Uncle, please wait a while, my nephew will come when he goes." ”

Li Wei bowed slightly, and watched Li Li stride to the lobby. Looking at Li Li's back, he muttered to himself: "It seems that Wenchang now has more weight in Xiangguo's mind than me." The same order, but to be delivered, this is the difference between identity and status! ”

After a cup of tea, Li Li returned to the study again.

"Wenchang, what is the will of the Son of Heaven?" Li Wei asked without waiting for Li Li to sit down.

Li Li smiled and said, "As my uncle expected. I was ordered to leave Beijing within three days. But there's one thing that puzzles me??????"

"What?" Li Wei asked urgently.

Li Li said with a smile: "The edict of the Son of Heaven also rewarded me with five hundred taels of gold and three hundred pieces of silk. As far as I know, the food and drink in the palace are all supplied by Xiangguo, and the little emperor gave me what reward, and he was so generous. Hehehe! ”

After Li Wei heard this, he said with a smile: "Wenchang doesn't know anything. In fact, Xiangguo is still very good to Bixia. All expenses inside and outside the palace. Xiangguo has never withheld it, and has always been supplied according to the standards of the Luoyang Imperial Capital. As for Bixia's reward? As long as there is no objection from the state of the country. and the reward will be given in abundance. However, in my uncle's opinion, this reward should mean Xiangguo. You are about to leave the capital as soon as you get married, and Xiangguo is probably reluctant to be Wan'er, so I will reward you again. It's just that you said in the court that you would not accept any reward from the Xiangguo after marriage, so this reward will be recorded in the name of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Well, I see. Thank you, uncle, for your doubts. Originally, I thought that the prime minister's power was tilted towards the opposition. will not take the Son of Heaven in his eyes, let alone spend a lot of money to support the palace maids and relatives of the emperor. I didn't expect Xiangguo to abandon the etiquette and still spend a lot of money and food to support them, which is really unexpected! Li Li said with a sigh.

Li Dao said with feeling: "In fact, Xiangguo has always been in awe of the royal family in his heart. You see, he often calls himself 'our family', and he clearly calls himself a close minister of the Son of Heaven. Everyone in the world thinks that Xiangguo is arrogant, bullying the Son of Heaven, and causing trouble to the court, but this is not the case. It is an indisputable fact that Xiangguo is tyrannical and monopolizes the government, but he did not bully the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, and still abides by etiquette. Everything in the court was deliberately made by Xiangguo to show the officials, otherwise how could he deter the ministers and command the world. In addition, everyone in the world said that Xiangguo stayed in the Dragon Court at night and wantonly humiliated the concubines of the inner palace, but this statement is exaggerated. Xiangguo did bring out a lot of palace maids and concubines from the palace for fun, but he did not stay overnight in the palace. Otherwise, why would he build Yiwu on a large scale, isn't this an extra move? Yiwu is more than 20 miles away from the palace, and Xiangguo often travels between the two places, so it is more convenient to move directly into the palace! Therefore, the world has a lot of misunderstandings about Xiangguo, and these are all deliberately arranged by the princes of various towns in the Kanto region, which are exaggerated in an attempt to confuse the public and deepen the sins of Xiangguo in the hearts of the people. In fact, they succeeded, and all these trumped-up charges were piled on Xiang Guo, making him difficult to distinguish, suffering and suffering.

Alas! Although Xiangguo is in charge of the world's bull's ears and Weijiahai, he is actually on the cusp of the waves, and he can only advance but not retreat. If there is a slight mistake, he will fall into the bottomless abyss from which he will never recover, and the entire Dong family will be harmed. No one may know the suffering, but his uncle is exactly Xiangguo's descendant, and he has followed him for more than ten years to truly understand his suffering. ”

After Li Li heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then said comfortingly: "Uncle doesn't have to be sad. The height is unbearable, and Xiangguo can go to today's high position, which has its own advantages. ”

After a slight pause in his tone, Li Li asked softly, "My nephew has something I want to ask my uncle about." If my uncle could one day take over the power of the world, I wonder what my uncle would do? Uncle is not in a hurry, and the nephew is saying that if, it is just a hypothesis, and there is nothing else. Please also ask my uncle to tell me bluntly. ”

When Li Li said this, Li Li instantly looked horrified, looked at Li Li in astonishment, and was speechless for a while.

After being silent for a long time, Li Dao shook his head and said, "Wenchang, uncle, I am self-aware, and I can't be a high-ranking minister. In terms of open-mindedness, I am far less than Xiangguo to be able to forbear, he has been up and down in Xiliang for more than ten years, and has always stood tall, this is his broad-mindedness of a successful person. When it comes to the way of power and strategy, my uncle can't compare with Xiangguo; In his early years, he made friends with eunuchs in private, and he served He Jin on the surface, left and right, and finally ascended to the position of Xiangguo. Uncle I have followed Xiangguo to fight on the battlefield for more than ten years, and if I want to lead troops to fight, train soldiers and command generals in the army, I am still competent, and I think I am not inferior to any general in the world. However, if I want to assist the regent of the country and govern the world, I really don't have the ability, at most I can defend the two states of Yongliang from the invasion of barbarians, and there is nothing else I can do. ”

After Li Li listened to Li Dao's words, he secretly sighed in his heart, Li Dao said that he was self-aware, and it was really not polite words, it was indeed his heartfelt words that he did what he could.

In the annals of history, Li Dao is indeed as he said. For more than four years after Dong Zhuo's death, he held the authority of the world and had many stupid actions towards the princes of Kwantung, but he defended Yongliang and Liangzhou from foreign enemies, and made great achievements. It's just that his mind is not broad enough after all, and he has a gap with generals such as Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou, fighting openly and secretly, and then fighting and killing each other, causing chickens and dogs to jump and be dilapidated in Chang'an City. Zuihou, Emperor Xian fled to Luoyang, and the officials followed, which made the capital of Chang'an fall down, and the Xiliang army was also fragmented, and was finally exterminated by Cao Cao, who held the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Li said as if he had something to say: "Uncle doesn't have to be arrogant. If the uncle can really hold the authority of the world, the little nephew is willing to help the uncle to deter the princes of the world and pacify the states and counties of Xiliang. However, my nephew has said it first, you and my uncle and nephew and even relatives, once the situation is out of control, please remember what my uncle said today. As a last resort, he also asked his uncle to leave his nephew to clean up the mess, and his uncle continued to lead the army to fight. What does my uncle think? ”

"Uh, why did Wenchang say that? Your talent is far superior to your uncle's, and my uncle knows that. Besides, my uncle will definitely not forcibly suppress you because of his greed for power. Li Dao said in great surprise.

Li Li smiled slightly when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "Uncle doesn't have to worry too much, and he doesn't have to be humble. The nephew was brought up by his uncle, and although you and I are called uncles and nephews, they are actually no different from biological father and son. However, if the name is not right, it is not good. After all, your nephew is not your biological son, and it is difficult to have both family and country. So, there are some things that my nephew will say now and will do in the future. However, once the political situation is turbulent, my nephew will not take extraordinary measures to do disobedient things for the sake of the life and death of my Li family. At that time, please ask your uncle to understand your nephew's hardships and not complain about your nephew. ”

Where do you start? Besides, uncle, I have never had the ambition to dominate the world, and I can't even think about it. If there really is such a day, my uncle and nephew can really succeed, then it must be based on you, and my uncle is willing to be a pawn and create immortal feats for my Li family! Li Dao said resolutely.

"Haha!" Li Li said: "With my uncle's words, my nephew is deeply excited. One person, two uncles and nephews, blood is connected, and family affection can never be separated. If one day our uncle and nephew fight each other on the battlefield, the nephew is willing to take the initiative to back down and take the whole uncle and nephew's sake. Needless to say, the uncle is about to return to the station, and the nephew prepares a little wine for the uncle. Please move my uncle into the lobby, the feast is ready. ”

Seeing that Li Li didn't want to say more, Li Wei stopped asking, and said: "Wenchang, you scared my uncle and me today, and you said something inconsequential, you must drink a few more drinks later, suppress the shock!" Hehehe! (To be continued) (To be continued......
