The status and reputation of the Xu family, Yang Yun has long heard of it.

The Xu family had two imperial concubines, namely Taizong and Gaozong, and Xu Qiao's father Xu Jian was also a well-known literary master.

When the world said "Fangzhi Han Shi Ban Clan", the Xu family was compared with the Ban Gu and Ban Chao families of the Han Dynasty, which shows the glory of the Xu family's status in the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Qiao, an official from a famous family and a scholarly family, is proud and arrogant, saying that he is unwilling to stand on the side of Concubine Wu Hui, but in fact, he is just not making a tendentious choice before the court pattern is unclear.

People rely on their own talents and good relations with the royal family, and they don't need to get social status by befriending Concubine Wu Hui, so they naturally don't have much interest in taking refuge in Concubine Wu Hui.

What's more, with Wu Zetian's experience, scholars are always suspicious of the martial arts, and Xu Qiao will not choose a position in advance.

"You guessed it, what kind of reward do you want?"

Princess Xianyi asked with a grin.

Yang Yun glanced at Princess Xianyi, as if to say, the reward was proposed by you, it should be me who asked you how to reward me, right?

Princess Xianyi may also think that she has nothing to do, shook her head, and said, "If you don't want to say it, then write down this matter first, and when I go back after seeing King Shou, I will cash it out." ”

"Then thank you first, princess."

Yang Yun said politely.

These words surprised Princess Xianyi again.

I'm polite to you, you really dare to take it!

As he spoke, footsteps were heard outside the hall.

Li Mao walked in from the outside, alone, with a gloomy expression on her face, obviously bothered by something.

Yang Yun and Princess Xianyi stood up to greet them.

Princess Xianyi stepped forward and asked, "Eighteenth brother, how is it?" But Zhang Guotianshi was delayed and couldn't attend on time? So what's next? ”

"Zhang Guo and Zhang Tianshi suddenly disappeared......"

Li Mao didn't have much opinion, and said with a sad face: "Zhang Guo and Zhang Tianshi were going to the Eastern Capital, I thought it was done, but who knew that there would be such a change...... Alas, in this case, I can't explain it to my father......"

The emperor was looking forward to seeing Zhang Guo.

In history, the meeting between Tang Xuanzong and Zhang Guo was famous in Taoism, and it left a strong mark in history, but now Zhang Guo suddenly disappeared, which is incredible.

In the past, several generations of emperors had wanted to recruit Zhang Guo, and Zhang Guo had to hide by faking his death, but this time Zhang Guo finally agreed to come to see the emperor, and the court hyped it up for this.

Who knows when the matter comes, but the man disappears.

"Daoist Yang, what do you think about this?"

Princess Xianyi suddenly looked at Yang Yun and asked.

Li Mao also looked sideways, his eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Yang Yun would give a way to deal with it.

Yang Yun said: "King Shou is going to enter the palace to see the saint? ”

"Hmm."

Li Mao didn't hide it at all, nodded and said, "The festival will start tomorrow, but my father has sent an edict that he will only appear at the scene of the Great Void View Festival the day after tomorrow...... Tomorrow, my father is going to meet Zhang Guo and Zhang Tianshi in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, and now I am the organizer of the festival...... I'm afraid that I will be held accountable by my father. ”

Princess Xianyi straightened her face slightly, and scolded: "Ask you about your countermeasures, why did you ask about my eighteenth brother instead?" ”

Yang Yun said angrily: "I don't even know the cause and effect of the matter, how can I make a plan?" I don't know why Zhang Guo and Zhang Tianshi suddenly disappeared...... I don't know what the signs are? ”

Only then did Li Mao realize that it was too reckless for him to ask Yang Yun directly.

didn't say anything, Yang Yun was ignorant of the whole thing, and it was a vain question to ask.

So he hurriedly told Yang Yun the details of meeting Xu Qiao, and even the conversation between the two was probably told to Yang Yun, and Yang Yun immediately knew it in his heart.

Yang Yun thought for a while and said, "If Zhang Guo and Zhang Tianshi intended to escape and did not want to come to Luoyang, the eastern capital, there was no need for him to agree from the beginning...... When he disappeared, maybe he encountered something urgent, and I believe he will appear tomorrow. ”

Princess Xianyi frowned and said, "This is not necessarily...... Maybe he knew that he was going to enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint, and he clearly knew in his heart that he had no ability, he was false, and he was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he ran away? ”

Yang Yun asked rhetorically: "Could it be that before he promised to go to Luoyang, he never thought of meeting the saint?" ”

Now Princess Xianyi didn't know how to answer.

Indeed, as Yang Yun said, if Zhang Guo is a liar and is afraid that his words and deeds will be exposed, wouldn't it be the best choice to refuse from the beginning?

Why do you want to come to the Eastern Capital?

Playing missing again before arriving in Luoyang?

Li Mao said worriedly: "But how can I tell my father?" ”

Yang Yun gave Li Mao a "believe me" look, and said: "Everything can be told the truth, although King Shou is responsible for guiding Zhang Guo and Zhang Tianshi, but in the end, it is not King Shou who personally went to greet him, you have never even seen Zhang Guo and Zhang Tianshi's face, why should you be responsible?" As long as King Shou tells His Majesty the truth, even if His Majesty is unhappy for a while, he will not let you take the blame for the whole thing. ”

"That's what I said......"

Princess Xianyi was also helpless for Li Mao, shook her head and said: "But this is the first big thing that the eighteenth brother will do when he becomes an adult, if it doesn't work......"

Yang Yun said: "Your Majesty is the King of Sainthood, how can you blame mortals for the sudden disappearance of immortals?" King Shou wants to establish his authority, and the most important thing is to do a good job of the festival next, and to welcome the immortals, that is what His Majesty's envoy should do. ”

Under Yang Yun's encouragement, Li Mao's doubts disappeared, and he nodded: "Then I will go to face the saint, please forgive me for not entertaining the Taoist ......."

……

……

Li Mao was in a hurry to go to the Luoyang Palace to see Li Longji, and went first.

The master's family was not there, and even Princess Xianyi felt that it was boring to stay, so she walked out of the door with Yang Yun, she didn't have much hope that Li Mao would go to face the saint.

"Why do you comfort my eighteenth brother like that? Knowing that he would be scolded when he went to face the saint, it was better not to go. Princess Xianyi said intentionally or unintentionally.

Yang Yun stopped, as if remembering something, frowning and thinking.

Princess Xianyi asked with a serious face, "Have you thought of a countermeasure?" Could it be that if you deduce the hiding place of Zhang Guotianshi, you can take someone to find him? ”

Yang Yun smiled bitterly and thought secretly: "Maybe I have behaved too many times in front of the little princess, she already treats me as an immortal, thinking that I have the ability to reach the sky?" ”

"I'm just thinking that since His Majesty and Zhang Guo won't appear at the Dao meeting venue tomorrow, then I don't need to pay too much attention to it, maybe I can sleep lazi......ly," Yang Yun replied.

Princess Xianyi couldn't help but be angry, glared at Yang Yun, continued to walk forward, took two steps and found that Yang Yun was still standing in place, and urged: "Let's go, let's go...... I haven't thought about what to give your reward for the time being, so I'll give you a meal...... Don't go to your drunken fairy building, go to the side! Don't always say I'm taking advantage of you. ”

……

……

The two of them came out of the verdant small residence, and Princess Xianyi really wanted to take Yang Yun to dinner.

At sunset, it's already meal.

This is the busiest time for Zuixian Building, and Yang Yun, as the owner, doesn't want to go to other people's fields, after all, his own business can't take care of it.

But in the face of Princess Xianyi's kind invitation, Yang Yun didn't know how to refuse.

Yang Yun pointed to the tea house on the side of the road and said, "The princess should also have something to do, right?" It's better to find a place with the watch, sit down and have a cup of tea, and the mind is under the collar. ”

Princess Xianyi said: "Do you think this princess can't afford to invite you to a meal?" So faceless? ”

She was a little angry, but she still walked to the tea house as she said.

The two sat down at a low table.

The shopkeeper of the tea house brought the tea, but Princess Xianyi did not mean to hold the teacup with her hands, obviously she did not like the simple environment of the tea house.

As a princess, she likes folk food such as "food stalls" too much, even if she wants to eat and drink, she will definitely find an elegant restaurant.

Yang Yun didn't mind at all, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water to soothe his mood a little.

"What are you going to do about this Taoist puja? Would it be nice to reveal it in advance? Princess Xianyi asked with interest.

Yang Yun thought to himself, "It seems that everyone thinks that I want to perform at this festival...... But I didn't know that I was actually a soy sauce maker. ”

Yang Yun smiled and asked, "How does the princess want me to behave?" ”

Princess Xianyi held her head and thought for a while, and said, "You have had a miraculous performance in the Great Void Temple before, and the people of Luoyang worship you as an immortal...... At least this time it should be more magical than that, right? ”

Yang Yun took another sip of tea, shook his head and said, "Outsiders should have less desire to compete for fame and profit. ”

Princess Xianyi pouted: "Nonsense! is also a business and a staff member, and you also said that you want to gain fame...... Since you don't fight for fame and fortune, why did you come to Luoyang? Now we're friends, right? If you want to say a few heart-to-heart words, you actually hide it, what do you mean? ”

Yang Yun smiled, he had never regarded Princess Xianyi as a friend, and he had always been wary, but Princess Xianyi gradually let down her guard against him and made friends with him step by step.

This is a feeling that even Yang Yun feels strange.

Obviously, I haven't met Princess Xianyi a few times, and I don't know each other, why would Princess Xianyi take the initiative to make friends with him?

"Then I'll tell you the truth, I don't have any idea about this festival, as the princess said, I have a reputation, but this reputation is not something to eat, and I have never intended to make money from this reputation, as long as others see me and give me basic respect."

Yang Yun said with a sincere face, "However, I want to help my ninth sister, she is in an embarrassing position at home now, she has been under the fence for a long time, she can't help herself, and she is still looked down upon, I want her to behave in this festival." ”

Princess Xianyi's eyes widened: "You want to help your sister?" The Yang Yuhuan that my eighteenth brother likes? Can you ...... I really don't know what to say about you. ”

At this time, Princess Xianyi has been aroused by Yang Yun's interest.

She thought for a while, frowned, and said, "But strictly speaking, your sister is not a member of the Daomen, how can you help her?" There are so many Taoist priests in the meeting, there are not a few who are famous, and there are many powerful spells, do you really have a way to help her? ”

"Try it."

Yang Yun smiled with confidence.

Now Princess Xianyi is even more curious.

"Have you figured out how to do it? Tell me if it's okay? I promise not to leak it out. Princess Xianyi was so tickled that she couldn't hold back and asked directly.

Yang Yun spread his hands: "I don't know what the situation is like when I connect the puja, how can I pack a ticket to have a chance to help my sister become famous?" It can only be taken one step at a time...... If I really can't help it, I can only be ashamed of my sister's trust. ”

Princess Xianyi pursed her lips and said, "In this way, not only can you help your sister, but in fact, anyone can help?" With your spells, huh? ”

Yang Yun smiled but did not speak.

"Then why did you tell me? Doesn't that leak the news...... In this way, even if your sister shows off her magic at the festival, I know that it is not your sister's real ability. Princess Xianyi was even more curious.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "The princess has said it, we are friends, and it is expensive and honest between friends, so what's the point of telling the princess?" The princess probably won't leak the news to others, right? ”
