Chapter 110 Arrangements for Li Xian
Li Xian raised his head and looked at the imperial steps in front of Funing Hall.

This is a place he is very familiar with.

Since the first year of Xining, he has spoken here every two years.

Emperor Daxing would stand on the high platform of Funing Hall and watch him leave.

Li Xian lowered his head and looked at his hands. His jaw was covered with calluses, and his thick inner thighs were also full of calluses.

Almost 19 years have passed since Wang Shao offered Ping Rongce in the first year of Xining and presided over Hehuang Tuobian. He was selected by Emperor Daxing to assist Wang Shao in Guwei.

In the past 19 years, the South and the North fought, and the soldiers and horses went to the northwest.

Let him go from the small yellow gate back then to the powerful Song Xihe manager now.

To be honest, along the way, Li Xian thought countless times whether he could return to Xihe.

But, the moment he saw Bianjing City.

Li Xian knew that he couldn't go back.

why?
He received an order in Xizhou on Xinyou Day (28) last month asking him to return to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit to report on his duties.

In April Jiazi (the first day of junior high school), after arranging the defense of Lanzhou, Hezhou, Huizhou and Dingxi City, he led his troops to set off from Xizhou.

That night, he led his troops to stay in an abandoned mountain temple next to Gudi Road.

That night, he opened his eyes and watched Didao's stars all night.

But he didn't wait for the emperor's will from Bianjing.

This made Li Xian wake up like a dream!

The Emperor Daxing has passed away!
He can no longer wait for the emperor's will!

In April Bingyin (the third day of junior high school), he led his troops into Qinzhou, but there was still no imperial order.

He seemed to have been forgotten, no one came to urge him, and no one came to tell him which road he should take and enter Beijing from that direction.

In the past, it was unthinkable.

In the past, whenever there was a war or when he was about to enter Beijing.

Every three days, as long as the road is not blocked, the will of the emperor will come to him on time.

Although these decrees were sent from Bianjing seven or eight days ago or even more than ten days ago, when they were delivered to him in a hurry, the situation was often completely different.

But Li Xian is already used to it!

I am used to doing things according to Bianjing's will seven or eight days ago or even ten days ago.

Therefore, when he had to detour for a hundred miles in Yisi in April because of mountain torrents blocking the road, he suddenly said to his left and right: "When I return to Beijing this time, I will act as Emperor Daxing's mountain mausoleum!"

Although there have been wavering and hesitation since then.

But when he saw Bianjing City, he still didn't have any intention.

No envoy even came to ask him why he hadn't arrived in the capital for so long.

Li Xian already knew that he should retire.

Even if he is only 43 years old this year, he should retire.

The imperial court has been indifferent! !
He is a minister, and without the support of the emperor in the temple, he can't do anything!
"Li Duzhi..." A young courtier appeared in front of him.

Li Xian raised his head and looked at the other party.

He recognized this person. In the second year of Yuanfeng, when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he met Li Shunju in Da Nei. At that time, Li Shunju seemed to be following this little Huangmen.

Now, the immature little Huangmen back then is already a close minister of the new king.

"Everyone has a purpose, please let Li know the face of Kunning Hall!"

Li Xian bowed respectfully to the Funing Hall: "I will obey the will!"

Then follow the young courtier and walk forward.

When passing through the corridor next to the Funing Hall, Li Xian heard the young courtier's subdued voice: "You all know, you all told me last night, you must entrust me: you must remember, be humble and respectful in front of the empress, and don't mention it." And any military preparations and conquests related to Xihe..."

Li Xian lowered his head and listened quietly.

Along the way, he has heard countless legends about the young master.

Chun Xiao, Ren Sheng, Cong Jun.

It is said that at the age of eight, he was already able to read the Spring and Autumn Annals, expound the teachings of saints, respect the behavior of a filial son, and regard the two palaces as close relatives.

Even Grand Master Wen Yanbo said to others: Although the young master is young and imposing, he has already possessed the dignity of a ruler and the posture of a saint king. The revival of the Song family can be expected!
Yesterday at the Zichen Hall's toilet, the young master inadvertently said something that seemed aimless.

Let his general Wang Wenyu become the one praised by the government and the public: a loyal and brave general.

Can the general recommended by Han Qi and Han Zhongxian be unfaithful?

Therefore, some people are already proposing whether it is possible to let Wang Wenyu stay in Bianjing and serve as the Sanya Guanjun?
After the young minister finished speaking, Li Xian replied: "Everyone teaches me a lesson, and the old minister will keep it in mind!"

"It's good if you know it in your heart!" The other party said: "Your Majesty is a sage, don't be afraid to fight and kill..."

Li Xian continued to bow his head, but he had already heard the other party's implication - His Majesty likes to fight and kill?

Um! ?

Thus, the flame in his heart was ignited again.

He is only 43 years old.

Can afford to wait!
……

Kunning Palace, the curtain fell.

Li Xian followed suit, and when he reached the curtain, seeing the shadowy figure inside the curtain, he immediately knelt down and said: "Chen Xian, best wishes to His Majesty the Empress Dowager and His Majesty the Emperor..."

"Everyone knows, please stand up!" The queen mother's voice in the curtain was calm.

"Shi Deyi, give Duzhi a seat!"

Thus, the big Diao Dang who was next to the former Emperor Daxing appeared beside Li Xian.

He put a wooden pier behind Li Xian, and the two looked at each other, and Li Xian saw some appreciation for him from the other side's eyes.

Li Xian understood Shi Deyi's meaning.

The Empress Dowager appreciates his brave retreat?
So, Li Xian sat down respectfully, bent his waist as much as possible, lowered his head, and did not look inside the curtain, but said in a soft voice: "I have heard many times on the way back to Beijing that everyone is filial to your mother." all kinds of deeds..."

"Listen, I'm really happy for your empress, and also for Sheji..."

Although he is handsome, he is also a courtier, and he really knows how to make people in the palace happy.

Sure enough, the queen mother in the curtain laughed when she heard this: "Did you even know about Xihe?"

Li Xian lowered his head and said, "It's not just Xihe..."

"To tell you the truth, I have heard local people talking about it in Qinzhou, Fengzhou, Jingzhao and other places along the way!"

"Everyone said: the sage is in power, the two palaces are benevolent, and the people of the world will be blessed in the future!"

The queen mother in the curtain said: "Is that really the case?"

"How dare I lie to my majesty?" Li Xian immediately got up and said: "If I have a false word, I beg your majesty to kill me outside the Xuande gate!"

Since Zheng Xia, the courtiers have learned this trick one after another.

Especially when you say such kind words, put your life on it first!
In this way, the people above must be very happy.

Sure enough, the queen mother was very happy and laughed in the curtain.

Then, in the curtain, an immature child's voice said: "I heard that I know that you have asked yourself to be the emperor's mausoleum?"

"Yes!" Li Xian hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "I am deeply favored by Emperor Daxing, and I really can't repay it..."

"I just wish I could go with Emperor Daxing..."

"You know that you are a true loyal minister!" Everyone said in the curtain: "Mother, you know what my son wants to reward..."

Li Xian gasped for breath.

Just listen to the Empress Dowager saying: "My son can make up his own mind!"

Then, Li Xian heard a slight metallic sound coming from the curtain.

Immediately afterwards, a small jade tiger inlaid with gold was sent into Li Xian's hands through the curtain.

"This is a small thing I carry with me..."

"You know, accept it!"

Li Xian immediately knelt down and kowtow respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to repay for your kindness!"

"Everyone knows that he is a loyal minister of the emperor!" Everyone said: "I should also be a loyal minister of mine!"

"Remember in the future, you must be loyal to the country and to me!"

"Everyone teaches, I will remember it in my heart!" Li Xian said tremblingly.

Half is acting, half is sincerity.

Because Li Xian has confirmed at least one point through this brief conversation in front of the curtain: Although the young master is young, he speaks clearly and thinks normally.

Sure enough, he is the king of the country!
With such a holy master in court, Li Xian believes that he will be able to recover!
The Empress Dowager inside the curtain seemed to be very satisfied with Li Xian's obedience, and said: "Since the officials have rewarded the Jade Tiger, the palace has also rewarded one thing!"

Then he ordered the female official in the curtain: "Go and fetch the pharmacist king Buddha that I invited from Daxiangguo Temple, and give it to Li Duzhi..."

"Yes……"

So, a moment later, a lifelike, compassionate and solemn jade statue of Medicine Master King Buddha about two feet high was sent to Li Xian.

Li Xian immediately bowed to the curtain: "Your Majesty is kind and holy, Bodhisattva has a heart, and I am so grateful!"

The queen mother in the curtain said: "Everyone knows that in the future, remember to serve the Buddha with heart..."

Li Xian immediately bowed and said: "I would like to obey your mother's benevolent order!"

Before coming, the young master ordered someone to entrust him.

How can he still make mistakes?
……

After sending Li Xian away, Zhao Xu looked at the Queen Mother's expression.

He already knew that Queen Mother Xiang was quite satisfied with Li Xiancai's performance.

And Li Xian has the Jade Tiger he bestowed, and the Jade Buddha bestowed by the Queen Mother.

Thinking about it, no one would dare to harm or frame him at will.

In this way, Li Xian only needs proper medical treatment and proper recuperation.

His health must be much better than after he was demoted in his previous life, maybe in the future, he can give Zhao Xu some money!
Even if you can't, you should have no problem staying in Bianjing and serving as a consultant on Xifan and Xixia issues.

"Mother's queen..." Zhao Xu asked softly, "Li Dou knows that since you are about to step down from Xihe Road, you and your mother have chosen a successor?"

Hearing the words from the Queen Mother, she shook her head and said, "There is no one yet..."

Then she smiled at Zhao Xu and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, Sixth Brother, I will deal with it by the chief executives in the hall!"

Queen Mother Xiang has already asked Deng Runfu.

Deng Runfu told her that the appointment of a border commander like this used to be discussed in the hall for half a month or even longer.

"Oh!" Zhao Xu nodded.

Empress Dowager Xiang was immediately delighted: "Brother Six has an idea?"

She has always encouraged Sixth Brother to try government affairs, and even try to make personnel arrangements.

Although the sixth brother is young, he may not be able to do well.

However, it is precisely because of this that he must be encouraged!

It doesn't matter if it's wrong, it's a mother-son conversation in Ouchi anyway.

Zhao Xu shook his head: "Son, how do you know what kind of general or minister..."

"This is easy!" The Empress Dowager ordered immediately: "Shi Deyi, go and get the jade book of the commander-in-chief of the world that the capital made a few days ago..."
