The sun sets in the west and the sky gradually becomes hazy.
In Bianjing City, red lanterns are hung on the doors of the pavilions and houses along the streets. The red lanterns emitted an orange-red light and lit up the entire street. On the street, people were coming and going, traffic was busy, and it was full of joy and excitement.
Bianjingcheng has returned to its former prosperity.
On Xiaoyu Street, red lanterns were also hung on the gate of Xinghua Tower.
In Xinghua Tower, Master Li was talking to Mother Li about something.
Li Shishi said: "This time the Jin invaded, the soldiers and civilians of Bianjing suffered a lot. The emperor also stayed away from Jiangning. The order in the city was in chaos. There was no distinction between superior and inferior. Both the government and private houses were harassed and suffered terribly. If it weren't for Brother Xiao Yi tried his best to help, but the situation was unimaginable. Mom, in my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the Jin people's evacuation and loosen the defense of Bianjing city, leave them as soon as possible, and find another safe place to live, without being disturbed by all the things in the world, so that they can enjoy their old age in peace , it’s a plan.”
After hearing what Li Shishi said, Li's mother slowly frowned and looked unhappy.
Mother Li thought to herself that after the Jin people withdrew, the city returned to its former prosperity and the street scene became more and more beautiful, it was a great opportunity to do business and make money. Although this little hoof is honorably the emperor's concubine, she actually does some flesh-and-blood business secretly; especially some dignitaries in the court who have both status and money, this little hoof also associates with them, making money easily. At this time, the Jin people had left, and Bianjing had settled down. Could it be that this little hooves wanted to leave Bianjing under the pretext of the Jin people's invasion? Is this little hooves going to get rid of me?
From the idea of Li Shishi leaving Bianjing, Li's mother further thought of Yan Qing. When the Jin people were besieging the city, Yan Xiaoyi came to the Xinghua Tower and repeatedly urged this little hoof to go away with him. It was just because the war was fierce and dangerous, and it was difficult to leave for a while. Now, what this little hoof said is probably I want to find Yan Xiaoyi.
Mother Li thought to herself, if this little hooves goes to find Yan Xiaoyi, how will I be able to enjoy the good life in the future? At that time, who will I rely on? Even if she takes my mother to seek refuge with Yan Xiaoyi, the good life belongs to them, what can I gain? Why don't you become an old lady from the country? Besides, this little hoof is attached to the current Supreme Emperor. In this way, I am the old mother-in-law of the current Supreme Emperor. How glorious and how rich is this? How can you give it up? no! I cannot let her leave the capital under any circumstances; I want her to wait here for the return of the Supreme Emperor. By then, I will have to be the Emperor's mother-in-law and enjoy the wealth and wealth!
After Master Li finished speaking his thoughts, he stared at Mother Li, trying to get her reply.
The reason why Master Li wanted to leave Bianjing was because she was afraid. This time when the Jin people besieged the city, the Supreme Emperor greased the soles of his feet and left immediately without even making a sound. Li Shishi knew how the Supreme Emperor treated him. If time permits, or circumstances permit, the Emperor will naturally not forget him and will make an arrangement. The key is that the situation was critical at that time, and the Emperor had to leave in a hurry. What Li Shishi was afraid of was that after the city lost control, the government did not effectively protect him. Even the leader of the small imperial guard dared to come to Xinghua Tower to ask for property. This march into the siege was thanks to the protection of Zhang Shuye and Yan Xiaoyi; if something happened again in the future, without the protection of Zhang Shuye and Yan Xiaoyi, who would I rely on? In this case, it's better to leave as soon as possible while you can. However, Master Li didn't know what Li's mother was planning, so he tentatively expressed the idea.
Master Li looked up at Mother Li and saw that Mother Li frowned with an unhappy expression on her face, so she asked, "Mom seems unhappy?"
When Li's mother heard this, she thought to herself, "Is it your height that I like you?" !
Mother Li snorted.
Seeing this, Master Li hurriedly said: "Mom, no matter where I go in the future, I will take my mother with me."
"Where are you going?" Li's mother looked at Master Li and asked.
Li Shishi lowered his head, thought for a while, raised his head, looked at Li's mother and said, "Mom, my daughter plans to go to Dayu Mountain to find Yan Xiaoyi. According to what Yan Xiaoyi told her daughter, it is surrounded by mountains on all sides and has a flat top. , farming and working is enough to support oneself; there are steep mountains and dangerous roads, fortresses and passes, one man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand people cannot open it. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. It is a clean and dangerous place."
"What are you doing there?" Mother Li looked at Master Li and said, "Master, please don't think it's hard to speak for your mother. After all, we are from a guild, and we are in the business of selling sex. Selling a life of laughter, when you go to the mountains, who will buy your sex and your laughter? There are rude mountain people everywhere, how much do they know about life? What kind of taste do they have?"
Master Li didn't like hearing this. Master Li thought to himself, I am already in my thirties, half an old woman. Have I not earned you enough money over the years? When will you be able to earn all that money? When is enough? People with weak hearts only have money in their eyes, and they only see the petty gains in front of them, and they will definitely suffer big losses in the future.
Li Shishi just wanted to persuade Mother Li to leave with her, but Mother Li persuaded Master Li first: "Master, you have to have a big vision in life, and you can't just look at the present. Look, the golden man is gone, the emperor is coming back, you are the queen The emperor’s concubine, when the emperor comes back, you will have endless glory and wealth. Master, don’t you miss the emperor?”
How could you not miss the Supreme Emperor? I miss the Emperor so much! The key is, the key is that the current situation is very critical. Can the Supreme Emperor reverse this crisis? If the Supreme Emperor can reverse this crisis, why bother to avoid Ningjiang?
Speaking of the Supreme Emperor, Master Li lowered his head and felt reluctant to part with him. To be honest, Master Li misses the Emperor too much. In Li Shishi's life, apart from Yan Qing, the Supreme Emperor was the most interesting person. In Master Li's heart, the Supreme Emperor is gentle, elegant, heroic, well-educated, considerate, and compassionate. The most important thing is that the Supreme Emperor knows everything about poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, five tones and six rhythms, playing, playing and singing. It’s so romantic and suave! Compared to Yan Qing, Li Shishi admired the Supreme Emperor more. Li Shishi felt that the Supreme Emperor understood taste better than Yan Qing.
Mother Li carefully observed Master Li's expression, and saw that when the Supreme Emperor was mentioned, Master Li's feelings seemed to be stirred up, so she further used the Supreme Emperor to enlighten Master Li. Li's mother didn't want Master Li to leave. In that case, she would have no life left at all.
Mother Li pretended to be sincere and said: "Daughter! I am old and have nothing to live for; you are still young. Look, among all living beings, which one lives more comfortably and contentedly than you? There is only one Tai Huang in the world, and the Tai Huang is I am very fond of you. As a woman, what more can I ask for? Master, I think it’s better for you to stay in Bianjing City quietly until the Emperor returns. At that time, you should stay and leave when it is not appropriate to stay. It’s not too late.”
Mother Li thought about keeping Master Li first. Mother Li knew in her heart that as long as Master Li didn't leave now and as long as Master Li could wait until the Supreme Emperor returned, then the Supreme Emperor would naturally be able to keep Master Li and she would still be his mother-in-law.
Master Li was moved by Mother Li's advice. Li Shishi thought to himself that the Jin people had evacuated and the Supreme Emperor was coming back soon. It would not be difficult to stay in Bianjing Chengli for a while. When the Supreme Emperor comes back, he will naturally have people to support him, and he will live a life of glory and wealth. However, Master Li always felt uneasy in his heart, as if there was an unknown feeling surrounding his heart.
Seeing that Master Li was tempted, Mother Li looked at Master Li and asked, "Master, don't think about leaving anymore. Tell me now, do you want to stay in Bianjing?"
Master Li thought for a while and nodded gently.
Mother Li was overjoyed and said happily: "That's right. I know that Shishi is the most obedient mother."
Li Shishi said with a serious face: "Mom, Shishi will stay for the time being and wait for the Emperor's return; but in the future, Shishi will decide whether to leave or not, and Mom is not allowed to interfere."
"Of course!" Mother Li agreed: "If the situation is not good in the future, I won't agree if you don't leave as my mother!"
Immediately, Master Li and Mother Li discussed it and decided to stay in Bian Jingcheng and wait for the Emperor to return from Jiangning Mansion.
At the same time, the palace was also full of joy.
Emperor Qinzong sat high on the dragon seat, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood in the main hall, congratulating each other on the withdrawal of the Jin army and the complete victory of the defense battle of Bianjing. At this time, Zhang Shuye came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty. At present, the Jin people have evacuated, but the Supreme Emperor is still in Jiangning Prefecture. During this period of time, the Supreme Emperor has been frightened and his body is not in good condition. He should take the Supreme Emperor back to the capital as soon as possible. Once he comes, It enhances the filial piety of the Holy One; secondly, it also stabilizes the hearts of the people in the world."
When Qinzong heard the memorial, he felt sad when he thought of his father who was far away in Ningjiang Prefecture, and shed tears unconsciously.
Li just came back from Taiyuan. When he saw Uncle Zhang asking Qinzong to take back the Emperor at night, he also went out and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Zhang said is true. In the current situation, we should take the Emperor back as soon as possible." Emperor, in order to stabilize the world. I also thought that the Jin people were greedy. When their demands for gold, silver and cities were not fully satisfied, they would definitely find various reasons to go south again. The imperial court should prepare troops and strengthen the border defenses along the river in order to Prevent the gold man from invading again.”
Qin Hui also came out to report: "I second the proposal."
I don't care much about Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Geng Nanzhong, Zhang Bangchang, Tang Ke, Wu Min and others. In their eyes, Zhang Shuye and Qin Hui were simple people with no threat; but they were extremely wary of Li Gang, Geng Nazhong, Zhang Bangchang, Tang Ke, Wu Min and others. First, they were afraid that Li Gang would incite Qinzong and the Jin people. Secondly, they were afraid that Qin Zong reused Li Gang, which would make them fall out of favor in the court. So, after listening to Li Gang's petition, several treacherous officials began to besiege Li Gang.
Tang Ke was the first to go out and said: "Since we have announced to your Majesty, I also thought that we should welcome the Emperor back as soon as possible. However, what Li Xuanfu said had ulterior motives. Bianjing was besieged, and the ministers in the Lai Dynasty used many methods to mediate and finally sent the Jin people to leave. Now, The preparation of troops and horses now will undoubtedly arouse speculation among the Jin people. I respectfully ask the Holy One to make clear judgments."
Li Gang said: "The Jin people have left the country and the imperial court has not prepared troops and horses. Is it possible that they have to give up their military preparations? If the Jin people come back, how will the imperial court respond?"
When Qin Zong saw this, he nodded frequently to express his approval of Li Gang's memorial.
