    "Come here!" Li Er suddenly shouted loudly.  "Your Majesty," a eunuch on duty heard this and immediately opened the door and came to listen to the order.  Li Er said calmly: "As I say, let Changle stay with the queen in the palace for a few more days. There has been a lot of criticism recently, so don't go out for the time being." "Yes, Your Majesty." After hearing this, the eunuch immediately obeyed the order and stood down.  .  Obviously, Empress Changsun wants to tell Li Lizhi this good news. Maybe the girl is an extrovert, and soon Cui Jing, Liu Yuan and others will learn about it. In this way, that kid Liu Yuan will be safe again.  Again, after being defeated by Liu Yuan two or three times, Li Er was naturally unconvinced. This time, although Empress Changsun stepped in, she couldn't do anything to him, but she still wanted to get a reward no matter what.  Otherwise, this is not smooth.  Although the imperial army has not yet returned to the court, Hou Junji and others still have to encircle and suppress Songtsan Gampo's remaining forces in Tubo to consolidate the fruits of victory, but the Yangwei army that returned first has brought news of the victory and there is still more to do.  For the actual rulers, including Songtsen Gampo, the demise of Tubo was only a matter of time. On the third night after the Yangwei army returned to Chang'an, Li Er held a banquet in the palace, inviting all civil and military officials and the Yangwei army.  The soldiers who performed outstandingly went to the banquet, which was regarded as a celebration banquet in their honor.  However, this important banquet was missing the most important person: Liu Yuan, the leader and soul of the Yangwei Army. The atmosphere at the banquet was a bit awkward. Officials headed by Cui Jing appealed to Li Er, and the officers and soldiers of the Yangwei Army who were present  Li Er was asked several times to raise his noble hand and release Liu Yuan, the powerful general, but Li Er refused.  He Xini changed the topic, but it was not settled.  He didn't say anything bad and refused to let go. This made Cui Jing and others very depressed, but there was nothing they could do.  Even the words of Cui Jing and others had no effect. As for Guan Yong, Hou Jun and others, they were even more indifferent and their words were of no use.  As a result, the merit banquet had a very depressing atmosphere regardless of its status, and Li Er deliberately did not talk about it.  No matter how experienced Cui Jing is and how strong his ability to respond to situations is, it doesn't matter. After all, one slap can't make a difference.  If it was another fault, everyone could still intercede on his behalf, and the plea would be justified.  But it happens to be a matter of women.  It's hard for anyone to say, not to mention that the person Liu Yuan provoked was the emperor's most beloved daughter, a married woman, and she also came up with some kind of private life-long contract. This matter was outrageous. Even if others wanted to plead for him, they would not  It¡¯s hard to speak.  The wine is mellow and the food is fragrant.  The dishes prepared by the imperial chef are very delicious.  However, the people present did not have a great time eating. Even during the drinking and interactive session, the atmosphere could be described as bland. It did not feel like a homecoming celebration banquet, but rather like a flowing banquet, as plain as water.  Finally, when Cui Jing and others were about to leave, Li Er suddenly stopped Cui Jing and said, "Cui Aiqing, please stay." "I wonder what the emperor's will is?" Cui Jing said with a puzzled look.  "I have been busy with political affairs recently, and the two families have rarely interacted with each other. After the Queen heard that Cui Aiqing's first wife died, she has not yet established her official position. This is not good. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to a certain woman and is waiting for her to be vacant? If so, you can tell her, Queen  I would like to be an iceman for Cui Aiqing." Cui Jing's heart moved and he quickly responded: "Queen Youfu is concerned, but Wei Chen only wants to put his career first and will not consider marrying a concubine for the time being." "Ai Qing is really interested.  Being loyal to one's duties is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty. " "Don't dare, if the emperor has no other instructions, please leave." Li Er nodded, then waved his hand, and Cui Jing quickly left.   In the Cui Mansion in Chang'an, there were only two people sitting in the huge study. These two people were the powerful figures of the Cui family in Qinghe. Cui Shang, the patriarch, and Cui Jing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, had returned from a banquet in the palace.  We went back to the study to discuss countermeasures.  This is the habit of the two of them. Once something happens, the two of them will sit in the study room to discuss countermeasures, which can be regarded as unifying opinions and advancing and retreating together.  "Third brother, the emperor's attitude is still unclear. It seems that this matter will not be resolved easily." Cui Shang sighed and said somewhat depressedly.  "Yes." Cui Jing nodded and said, "If it is so easy to let go, it can be solved in Shili Changting that day, and there is no need to leave it until today." Cui Shang said with some hatred of iron and steel: "This kid Liu Yuan is simply  There is no way he can stand up to the wall. Now he wants fame and fortune. There are so many beauties in the world. Why do he want to provoke the princess? Isn't this asking for trouble? " In Cui Shang's eyes, success is all about being greedy for women.  There is nothing wrong with lust. Those in power work harder than ordinary people. Just like Cui Jing, his third brother, he is also a first-class romantic figure. He has a family outside the home and enjoys all the beauty in the world. As long as he does not  It's enough to provoke criticism and not bring trouble, but Liu Yuan went too far and provoked the most famous and favored princess of the Tang Dynasty. This is poking a hornet's nest.He was just asking for trouble. He didn't blame Liu Yuan for being romantic, but blamed Liu Yuan for not acting appropriately.  The son-in-law is also half a son, and he originally wanted to make fun of his third brother for saying "like father, like son", but when he saw Cui Jing's serious face, he couldn't say it out loud.  The heirs are few and far between. He has had countless daughters in his life and enjoyed all the happiness. In the end, he only had one daughter. It can be said that in the first half of his life, Cui Jing revolved around his future. In the second half of his life, he revolved around his daughter. For Cui Mengyao, he really didn't worry about it.  , unlike myself, who has more than ten children in total, even if a few are gone, the incense can still be continued.  "Third brother, third brother, what are you thinking about?" Cui Shang couldn't help but ask when he saw Cui Jing unable to speak for a long time.  Cui Jing finally came to his senses and said helplessly: "Brother, I'm fine." "When I said goodbye just now, the emperor kept you, what did you say?" "It was a courtesy, but actually it was also a hint." Cui Shang was curious.  He said: "Oh, a hint? Is it related to that kid Liu Yuan?" "Brother is really good, he can guess it right." Cui Jing didn't give in, and said directly: "Based on my speculation, Liu Yuan's life should be nothing."  Worry, the emperor is actually not opposed to recruiting him as his son-in-law. The benefits are obvious. Firstly, Liu Yuan does have the strength. Secondly, by recruiting Liu Yuan, our noble family will lose a talent that is beneficial to the imperial power.  Damn, Tuyuhun is just a small country. Such a small country can still make peace. How can we use peace to appease someone who can destroy Tubo? Why not give up in appeasing and kissing your Majesty?  He is never stingy with the princess." This statement was also recognized by Cui Shang, and his intentions can be seen from Li Er's concubine and the concubine he recruited.  Cui Shang nodded when he heard this and said: "But Liu Yuan has been detained in the sky prison and has not been released, and no one is allowed to visit. What's the explanation?" Cui Jing said with a sneer: "This is the purpose of keeping me just now. On the surface,  He was concerned about Cui's position as the principal wife, and it was obvious that Xiang Zhuang was aiming for Pei Gong, and he was reluctant to kill Liu Yuan. However, Liu Yuan could not do this if he ruined the princess' reputation in public.  Besides, the emperor had made a promise to Princess Changle, so his intention was obvious, which was to plan for Princess Changle to enter Liu's house. He suddenly mentioned Cui's royal wife, which actually meant that he was knocking us. Princess Changle wanted to  Sit in the main room, hey. Where is Zhi Mengyao? " Having been in officialdom for decades, Cui Jingruo can't even see such obvious tricks.  So I have really lived like a dog these years.  Cui Shang was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with a wry smile: "If you don't agree, I'm afraid Liu Yuan won't be able to come out. By the way, third brother, how did you reply to him?" "How can you reply? I don't dare to refuse outright.  , I can only say that I haven¡¯t considered it yet.¡± ¡°Haha, this is not like the third brother¡¯s character.¡± Cui Jing said with a bitter look on his face: ¡°Oh, Mengyao is so anxious after not seeing her for two days.  What else can you do if you ask me to be your father? "Just before Cui Jing attended the banquet in the palace, Cui Mengyao returned to Cui's house with her grandson Dabao. She burst into tears when she saw Cui Jing. In order to save  Liu Yuan even knelt down to his father, asking him to save Liu Yuan, otherwise the orphans and widowers would survive. I wonder if it was his daughter who taught him, and Dabao also cried so hard that he burst into tears.  Crying, such a small fuss made Cui Jing cry. He quickly helped the two of them up, and almost swore that he would do his best to rescue Liu Yuan, and then he comforted the two.  If not, Cui Jing and Li Er would argue with each other in the palace.  Cui Shang glanced at Cui Jing, who was looking sad, and asked curiously: "Then third brother, what are you going to do about this matter?" "My Cui Jing's daughter will never be a concubine. If she is a concubine, the daughter named Li will not be a concubine."  Even if you kill him, Cui will not allow him to live in this world," Cui Jing said categorically.  In terms of background, Liu Yuan is just a white lady, while Cui Mengyao is from the world-famous Cui family of Qinghe, the leader of the noble family. When the two got married, one was the daughter of a high-ranking family, and the other was a lowly businessman who was disliked.  It is no exaggeration at all. It was a serious marriage. After Cui Mengyao married into the Liu family, she not only kept the Liu family in good order, but also continued the incense of the Liu family. She had a good temper and good character. She could not find any fault, let alone do anything.  If he does anything that harms the Liu family tradition, he will still be deprived of his position as the main wife, how can Cui Jing swallow such a sigh.  My daughter is more precious than many princesses.  Cui Shang sighed: This matter is really difficult to deal with. He, the eldest brother and the leader of the clan, is really embarrassed to be caught in the middle. After sighing, he couldn't help complaining about Liu Yuan again, and secretly cursed: It's all Liu Yuan, this stinky boy, he is so romantic  He was happy, but he left a mess and asked others to wipe his ass. Qinghe Cui became like a long-term employee of his family "Ah, ahsuper"At this time, in the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, Liu Yuan sneezed for a long time, couldn't help but rub his nose, and said to himself: "Really, who said bad things about me behind my back." After being detained here for three days,  Liu Yuan was already familiar with the smell, and it was not as unpleasant as when he first arrived. Li Er's arrival also improved Liu Yuan's situation. At the very least, it showed that Li Er still cared about Liu Yuan.  , before leaving, he also said that Liu Yuan's food was comparable to that of the jailers.  This is good news. At the very least, the jailer's food has been qualitatively improved in the past two days. Everyone knows that it is because of Liu Yuan's credit.  With a "creak" sound, the thick prison door opened, and then two footsteps came slowly over.  Liu Yuan opened his eyes and was secretly surprised. He saw the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and his confidant Xiao Fang walking over one after another. However, their expressions were a little different. Pei Jin was walking in front.  , his face was a little solemn, while Xiao Fang, who was walking behind, had a smile on his face.  "Pei Shaoqing, I don't know what wind brought you here." Liu Yuan sat up from the bed and raised his hand to Pei Jin as a salute.  First of all, he is the boss here.  I have received a lot of care from him in the past two days, and secondly, he is Pei Jingyan's uncle, after all.  He is still his elder. Besides, this Pei Jin has inherited the excellent genes of the Pei family in Hedong. He is tall and graceful, and his handsome face makes you like him at first sight.  "I don't know what it means. I just want to congratulate you." Pei Jin said with a smile.  Liu Yuan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Really? The emperor promised to let Liu go out?" "Okay, Li Er is really generous this time.  Liu Yuan thought that Li Er would not let him go so soon, but now he is really overjoyed.  Pei Jin smiled bitterly and said: "General Liu is happy too early. The emperor did not say to let you out, but he just wanted to change your place. Don't you think it is noisy here? Is the smell bad? The emperor ordered you to change a place.  , you don¡¯t have to live in such a stinky place anymore, you can sleep peacefully at night.¡± ¡°Oh, where?¡± ¡°Hehe, you¡¯ll know when you get there.¡± Xiao Fang on the side said enthusiastically.  : "General Liu, the new room has been cleaned for you. I guarantee your satisfaction. Is there anything that needs to be tidied up? Let me clean it up for you." "That's not necessary. Liu came in empty-handed. He didn't bring anything.  "Pei Jin said lightly: "Let's go, there is nothing missing anywhere." Liu Yuan was very happy to finally leave this ghost place. Without saying a word, he followed him with the envious eyes of the prisoners.  A young minister from Dali Temple walked out, and when Liu Yuan entered a room with sandalwood burning, he finally understood that what Pei Jin said just now, "there is no shortage of anything," was true.  This is a large room of about thirty square meters, with all the furniture in it: bed, table, futon, screen, wardrobe, etc. In addition, there are snacks, water and wine, books, and even pen, ink and paper.  There are inkstones, the interior decoration of the room is exquisite, and the windows are bright and clean. This does not look like a prison cell, but it is the most luxurious negative house in Chang'an, and it is nothing more than that.  Li Er just arranged for himself to live here?  Why are you so nice to yourself all of a sudden?  Pei Jin on the side continued: "The servants of Dali Temple come to clean every day. General Liu can move around in this room as he pleases. By the way, you can also walk around in the small yard outside. As long as you don't go out of this yard or interact with  Everything is free for people outside. " "Is this so good? " At this time, two men in uniforms came in carrying two food boxes. After Pei Jin nodded slightly, they were there.  The food was put out on the table. As soon as the food box was opened, the whole room was immediately filled with an alluring aroma of food. When Liu Yuanding opened his eyes, he was shocked: ginseng stewed chicken soup, Hun Yang mutton, Guangming Shrimp Grilled  , sheepskin silk filigree, small Tiansu (deer and chicken stir-fried together with several unspeakable dishes, they look very delicious. It¡¯s of high standard, ten dishes and one soup. ¡°Wow¡± Just in Liuyuan  When he was surprised, a servant took out a pot of wine and poured the wine into the glass very carefully. As soon as the wine came out of the pot, a strong aroma of wine immediately hit his nose. Liu Yuan inhaled hard with his nose and was surprised.  He asked, "This is Lingnan Lingxi wine?" "Well, your nose is very sensitive." Pei Jin said lightly: "Yes, this is Lingnan Lingxi wine stored in the palace. It is said to be a tribute.  It has been collected in the palace for ten years. It is a veritable palace-aged wine. Not only is this wine a good thing, but these meals are also cooked by the palace chef and sent directly from the palace. You must taste them.  "Liu Yuan took a closer look. Sure enough, the food box he had carried away was engraved with an eye-catching word "imperial". It really came from the palace. The food smelled so fragrant. How many times did he eat it?Liu Yuan's mouth watered as he had ordinary food. They all say that food is the most important thing for the people. When he saw so many delicious foods, his index finger moved. Without waiting for Pei Jin to say hello, Liu Yuan sat down and picked up the food.  I tried the silver chopsticks on every dish, and then said with bright eyes: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious. The chef's skills are really good." While speaking, his hands were not idle, and he stuffed two more chopsticks.  He put it into his mouth, looked up at Pei Jin and said: "Uncle Pei, this tastes good, the wine is mellow and the vegetables are fragrant. Look, there are so many dishes here, and my nephew can't eat them alone. Why don't we eat together, and I'd like to toast you a few drinks."  , Thanks to Uncle Pei's care these days, my nephew has always wanted to treat you to a nice drink. " "Haha, no, I'm afraid Pei won't be able to enjoy it. " Liu Yuan drank a glass happily and poured it on himself.  He said happily: "The emperor is so generous. The palace has cut expenses a few days ago, and my nephew saw that the emperor did not have such luxury." Speaking of eating, Liu Yuan also accompanied Li Er to have several casual meals in the palace, and even  It was really a simple meal. A few people had four dishes and one soup. There were no expensive dishes. The food was worse than that of Liu's house. At that time, Liu Yuan felt a little incredible. Li Er was really frugal. He didn't expect that Li Er was so particular this time.  , the meal prepared for oneself consists of ten dishes and one soup, as well as ten years of fine wine aged in the palace. It is rare for a stingy guy like Li Er to be so generous.  "More than generous." Pei Jin said lightly: "The emperor is simply generous. The emperor has spoken. Whatever you want to eat, just ask. I will give you whatever you want. There is also wine. This time it is Lingxi wine from Lingnan.  In addition, there are Tukuchun from Xingyang, Stone Frozen Spring from Fuping, Fushui Wine from Yingzhou, Wucheng Ruoxia Wine, Jiuyang Wine from Yicheng, Apo Sake from Chang'an, Sanler Mint Wine from Persia, and Malang from Dashi.  Wine and other options are available. In short, the emperor said, you can eat and drink whatever you want, and you will be satisfied with all your strength." After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Fang who was retreating in the corner, and lowered his voice and said calmly: "If I were you.  "I guess I won't be able to eat anymore." Liu Yuan was stunned at first, and then his face changed drastically. His face, which had been full of pride a moment ago, suddenly turned pale, and he didn't even notice that the pair of silver chopsticks in his hands fell on the table.  My legs are shaking a little.  Damn it, this is not the guillotine bar that Li Er gave himself.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
