Li Yan hurriedly helped the old Taoist priest up, and said: "The Taoist chief doesn't need to be like this, Li Mou has never forgotten the kindness of the Taoist chief lying on the ice and stepping on the snow pavilion to block the enemy in this life, you and I are considered to have suffered together, can't we still be rich and noble?" ”

"Without the help of adults, the old Taoist priest would never have dreamed of today's achievements. Poor Dao is by no means an ungrateful person, he has already sworn that he will look forward to adults in this life. The old Taoist priest burst into tears.

"Haha, don't say anything that is looking forward, I Li Yan dare not brag about anything else, and I have never been sorry to treat my friends when I dare to say it. In my eyes, the eldest brother, the second brother, Fan Er, Xiao Qi, and the Taoist chief you, are Li's closest relatives in this world, and they are by no means a master-servant relationship. ”

The old Taoist priest took out a handkerchief, woke up a handful of snot, and said with a smile: "This aspect of the poor road is deeply understood, and the generosity of adults is absolutely rare in ancient and modern times. Thinking about the few big things that adults did in Yanggu County, Poor Dao really didn't help at all, and he seemed to be the most useless person. But even so, the adults still don't give up, and let the poor live with dignity, this kind of touching is indescribable. ”

The two of them reminisced about the past in the carriage, with joy and sadness, but no matter what state of mind they were at the time, they can now say it in a joking tone.

This is the clouds and smoke of the past, the past is like white clouds, like light smoke, faded with time, and scattered with the wind.

Li Yan said: "The Taoist chief's sentence "It's only two years to eat vegetables" really shocked me into a cold sweat. In fact, the emperor had no intention of bringing down Cai Jing, at least he didn't want to do so until no one managed the state affairs for him. ”

"Now there is." The old Taoist priest smiled mysteriously and said, "Cai Jing is not down, it will be difficult for adults to succeed after all." Since there is this opportunity, why not replace it, and the adults can also feel the majesty of the next person and the ten thousand people above. ”

"Haha." Li Yan smiled bitterly and said: "How can Li handle national affairs, if you really want me to take care of it, then there will be chaos in the world, and this self-knowledge is still there." ”

"No, the state has three provinces and six ministries, Menxia Province, Zhongshu Province, Inner History Province, Household Department, Rite Department, Military Department, Criminal Department, and Ministry of Industry, each of which has a Shangshu, two squires, and countless officials such as the director. They are the ones who do the work, and the prime minister is the one who manages them. It's like Chen He, Fan Er, and the poor way to do things specifically, and the adults can grasp the general direction, isn't it very simple? ”

Li Yan laughed and said: "Old Taoist, your mouth is really rare in the world, and the complicated and complicated national politics are as simple as playing at home by you." Do you know that if there is a slight deviation in this general direction, it will be deflected to an oblique angle when it is implemented to the state capital, and when it is implemented in the county, it may be discounted in half. Sometimes it is a good thing for the benefit of the people, but because of this slightest deviation, it has become a tool for local officials to scrape the people's fat and ointment. will be scolded to death by the people, Li still doesn't do a good job. ”

The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "Adults have the world in their hearts, and the poor Dao only wants the rights in front of him, but the poor Dao is clumsy." But my lord, are the people doing well now? The officials all over the world are aiming to cater to Cai Jing, who cares if the people live or die? ”

"The Taoist chief's words are to the point, this is the defect of the current system, the superior has the right to appoint subordinates, in this way, in order to get promoted and make a fortune, it must be a flattering superior official who plays with his life. In the final analysis, the people still have no power in their hands, and if the power is handed over to the people, which local official would dare to defy the will of the people? ”

This sentence made the old Taoist priest fall into contemplation, and handed over the power to the people?

So what else does the emperor want to do?

Li Yan patted the old Taoist priest on the shoulder and said, "Don't think so much, Li wants to live his life well now." By the way, what the hell is Zixia you are talking about? ”

"Poor Dao heard that the war in Hangzhou is frequent, but after a few months, Tong Guan and Han Shizhong can return to the court, and use this as an excuse to make an introduction."

Speaking of Hangzhou, Li Yan couldn't help but think of his teacher again, this girl must be heartbroken now.

But it's okay to break off my thoughts earlier, and I have less worries, so it's best to move back to the Li Mansion tomorrow by myself, so that I can get along with her from time to time......

As the carriage slowly stopped, Fan Er, dressed as a beggar, lifted the curtain and said, "Your Excellency has arrived home." ”

Li Yan retracted his thoughts, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "It's good to get home, take a bath, sleep, and hold your mother-in-law for a ......."

"What's coming?" Fan Er said with a lewd smile on his face.

Li Yan jumped out of the carriage and kicked Fan Er's ass and said, "The cannon of the carriage and horse artillery." ”

The three of them entered the mansion with a smile, Geng Da ran out to greet him, and whispered to Li Yan: "There are guests waiting for adults in the hall." ”

Guest?

"Oh."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly realized that he should be a girl.

Heart: What attitude should we take to face it? Humble? Or is it cold?

After thinking about it, Li Yan felt that it was better to perform "two" a little, so that this girl was not interested in herself.

……

Lee House, meeting room.

Li Yan saw that Li Bei'er, Yan Jiuniang, and Huanxi were chatting hotly, so he didn't go in directly, but leaned on the door and eavesdropped for a while.

"Huanxi girl, Xianggong hasn't returned yet, will something happen?"

Li Bei'er asked in a mutter, with sadness in his tone, Li Yan's heart warmed, no matter when and where, Bei'er was the most intimate.

"There shouldn't be any problems, my brother will definitely protect the officials."

There was a familiar and unfamiliar voice in the house, Li Yan was quite emotional, in order to avenge Xiaomo, Huanxi lurked in Wang Fu's mansion alone, this kind of narrow heart, far more than most men in the world.

"Don't worry, Lord Luo is the closest person to the official family, and with Lord Luo protecting his father-in-law, he must be safe and sound." Yan Jiuniang said soothingly.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, even Li Yan, who was outside, could feel it.

Huanxi's arrival is by no means a good thing for Li Bei'er and Yan Jiuniang.

The two of them have nothing to do with each other to implement the odd and even "policy", and suddenly there is one more person, and some of them will definitely be taken away.

But although they were unwilling, they didn't dare to say anything, after all, Huanxi had Luo Zhu's support behind them, and they knew the importance of Luo Zhu to Li Yan.

Therefore, even Yan Jiuniang did not dare to object.

Li Yan couldn't wait any longer, so he casually folded a bright red rose from the flower pot on the windowsill, inserted it diagonally into his sideburns, and unbuttoned a few buttons on his neckline, pretending to be a prodigal son.

Then, suddenly, he jumped over the threshold, opened his arms and shouted, "Surprise! ”

……

……

The three women in the room all stared at Li Yan directly, with different expressions.

Li Bei'er covered her mouth with her hand, looking incredulous.

Yan Jiuniang Zou frowned, with a disgusted expression.

Huanxi is wide-eyed, his eyes full of confusion.
