"Hey, Xiucai, what did you say this Mulan followed us all the way! Don't talk about Qianyang County, it's a way to Chencang, and it's all going to Chang'an soon, he's still behind us, is there any intention, or you should ask? Li Lin is an idle character, and when he saw Cai Linxi's carriage, he immediately became energetic, in fact, Lu Zifei was also a little suspicious, but he didn't say it.

Lu Zifei thought for a while and said to Li Lin: "Let's go to Qianling and pay homage to the demeanor of the first empress of the ages, if they still follow, then we have something to say, don't disturb them now." ”

When Li Lin heard that Lu Zifei was going to visit any scenic spots and historic sites again, he said sickly: "I beg you, don't go, it's okay, we've been walking for twenty days now, don't you miss home after three years in the army?" It's all stone people and stones, what's so beautiful, and there are no beauties and wine, I will see a sow that has raced Diao Chan, you can't think about your brother, you look at the expressions of several of them, I estimate that going home can make their daughter-in-law unable to get out of bed for three days. ”

Lu Zifei turned his head and looked, Huzi and their eyes were full of green light, it was indeed a long time since he left home, but he didn't care about the past two days, and suddenly calculated in his heart, "You accompany me to Qianling, and when I get to my house, I will cook you the best food in the world, so that you can drink the strongest wine in the world, how about it, you know I said to do it, I have never lied to you at this point." ”

Li Lin never doubted Lu Zifei's cooking skills, he would rather be hungry than eat unhygienic things along the way, and most of the time he borrowed other people's kitchens to cook and eat by himself, but Li Lin dared to make a guarantee that he would definitely drink more than Xiucai, and he had tasted all kinds of good wines such as imperial wine and Fenjiu, was he lying to himself to accompany him to that Qianling.

Li Lin said: "What if it's not the strongest wine? I haven't seen you drink along the way, you're sure you have. ”

Lu Zifei said, "If it is not the strongest and best wine, I will go directly to Kaifeng with you without stopping after I go home and see your father, this is always okay, right?" Huzi, you will go to Chang'an first, see how Uncle Wang is prepared, by the way, buy me some things to prepare, I want to use them, don't buy them in one when you buy them, buy them from several separately, don't look stupid! Give money. Pushed the bored Li Lin.

"Why should I give money, you are buying things for yourself, not for me." Li Lin looked like a miser.

Lu Zifei said, "If you want to drink good wine, then you can pay for it yourself, the cost of making this wine is not cheap, you see whether you drink it or not." In the end, Li Lin reluctantly gave Huzi a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, Lu Zifei explained some other things to Huzi, Huzi rode away alone, and the remaining few people went to Qianling.

The atmosphere in Weizhou today looks good, everyone got the news that the emperor did not punish the defeat of Haoshuichuan, but rewarded the meritorious soldiers, the biggest good news is to transfer Xia Zhu, the smiling tiger, back to Kaifeng, not in Shaanxi Jingluo to appease the envoy, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi each demoted one level, the reason is that the two of them tampered with the national letter privately, they committed the crime of defrauding the king, the governor Song Zhen suggested that Zhao Zhen cut off the heads of the two of them, and finally for some reason, Fan Zhongyan's opponent, the head of the Great Song Dynasty's hundred officials, Lu Yijian, spoke, I support Fan Zhongyan, just make a mistake and be demoted, at this time, everyone understands that this is the emperor and the prime minister playing a double reed, and obediently shut up. The two of them were able to easily avoid this disaster, and they knew in their hearts that the problem was there, and they just remembered the young man who gave them ideas, so they wanted to come over and thank them, and when they arrived at the place, they saw that the building was already empty.

Han Qi looked at the blank barracks and said to Fan Zhongyan, "Brother Xiwen, do you regret it today?" We can still stand here safely thanks to him, and the words he said that day have been fulfilled one by one, he is bent on worshipping you as a teacher, you don't want to accept it, I and Mellow are bent on accepting him as a disciple, people don't look down on the two of us, life is so wonderful. ”

Fan Zhongyan was also embarrassed, and said to Han Qi, "During that time, you know what we were facing, on the one hand, we had to guard against Li Yuanhao's attack again, and on the other hand, we had to deal with post-war matters, I was still a little worried after only seeing one time, and then I let Chunyou go to Chang'an, there is nothing to regret, fate has not yet arrived, right?" ”

Han Qi said, "It's fate, you still pray that the young man doesn't meet Uncle Yong (Ouyang Xiu) on the way, and when you meet Uncle Yong, you will stop cooking, but what did Chunyou say when he went to Chang'an and came back." ”

"The farmer's family, the father is a small official, a younger brother, and a younger sister was added last year, the reason for the matter is similar to what he said, but his younger brother accidentally killed Chunyou It seems that there is another hidden meaning, and the neighbors and enlightenment teachers have a good evaluation of him, but the change in his heart is a bit big, and he did not tend to be cowardly before joining the army, and now he is more confident, and self-confidence should be exercised after arriving in the barracks, and he has experienced so many lives and deaths, which has a great impact on him." Fan Zhongyan repeated to Han Qi what his son said to him when he came back from Chang'an.

Han Qi nodded and said, "There is no problem with the background, the character, and the family have also been investigated, but it is a little late!" Han Qi's tone was a little ridiculous, the two of them can now be said to be the biggest officials in Shaanxi, and their titles are the same, my literary style is not bad, why does he have to worship you as a teacher, not me, now no one worships, and his heart is much more balanced.

How could Fan Zhongyan not know Han Qi's thoughts after being an official for so many years, and said to him: "Zhigui, this is not able to eat grapes or is the grapes sour!" That young man is indeed the most brilliant of the teenagers I know, not because of his knowledge, but his analysis of a thing, the control of the overall situation, you didn't find that there are some places where he has seen more thoroughly than you and me, the decree we are issuing now is what he said that day, I reported the situation to the emperor, see if the emperor has any reaction, there is one thing you are not wrong, when you meet Uncle Yong, it may be really no fun, his character and Uncle Yong are very voted. ”

Han Qi seemed to have a little bit of a meaning that he wanted to say but didn't want to say, which just caught Fan Zhongyan's gaze and asked, "Is there anything unspeakable about Zhigui?" ”

Han Qi still said it, he chose to believe in Fan Zhongyan's character, and said: "Recently, someone wrote that a new army should be reorganized in the northwest, and the method of military training was handed over to the emperor to see, and this method is exactly the same as General Zhang Qi's military training method, and finally I asked the secret spy department and the veterans who survived the battlefield, all of which can prove that this art of war came from the hand of that young man, that night we were revising the Western Xia State Book, Cao Commander Envoy, General Zhang Qi and the young man were indeed discussing things in a tent, I suspect that it was also his idea to form a new army in the northwest. ”

Fan Zhong drowned in those side details and said, "Is this that those people can't help it?" After the Tang Dynasty, the military generals were in chaos, and it was precisely when Taizu saw this that he had the national policy of controlling the military with literature, what they wanted to do, you know the emperor's thoughts, he didn't want to fight at all, did someone slander him? After suppressing it for so many years, it's better not to give them a chance, as for the new army can be formed, I may not stay here for long, but there is one thing you must insist on, that is, the person who trains the troops is not you, the power to command the army must be in your hands, and these battles in the northwest have also put a lot of pressure on the emperor! ”

Han Qi was younger than Fan Zhongyan, and he only vaguely knew some things, and he didn't know the inside story, so he asked, "What if it's the Cao family or the Pan family?" Can I suppress them? ”

"You and I will definitely leave one person in the northwest, you have the greatest possibility, as for what you said, it is impossible, they will not be able to pass the emperor's level, they will not be so stupid, you can control the strength yourself, and the adults in the court will not let them succeed so easily, I just don't know which of our little prodigies will give them any ideas, you should be on guard." Fan Zhongyan reminded.

Just when Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan were discussing how to guard against Lu Zifei, they had already arrived in Qianling, and Li Lin said, "Look, what I told you is good, right?" Which Cai Mulan must not be a good person, we went there, he followed there, no, I must ask clearly, maybe he is a spy of the Liao people and the party people, so we will make a great contribution. ”

Lu Zifei grabbed him and said speechlessly: "Your brain is rusty, don't you think about using him?" He must have intentions to follow us, but it is by no means a spy or something, how do you go to ask someone, the road is not our family's, let him follow if you want to follow, no matter how cunning the fox is, he can't escape the trap of the hunter. ”

When they came to Qianling, they saw two middle-aged people sitting in front of the monument talking about the past and the present, Lu Zifei bowed three times to the monument without incense and candles or other things, looking at the stele that was beaten by the wind and rain, his heart still made waves, Wu Zetian left a wordless stele for future generations to evaluate the merits and demerits of her life, in Lu Zifei's opinion, this is to cover his ears and steal the bell, but the discussion of the two people next to him attracted his attention, and they were also discussing what kind of person Wu Zetian was.

One of them said: "Uncle Yong, Wu Zetian married his son with his mother, this is his first stain, after she came to power, she wantonly slaughtered the descendants of the Li family, including her two sons, he is not qualified to be a mother, she abused traitors during her reign, and her cronies made the country a mess, almost wolf smoke everywhere, her face did not stop, and the harem was filthy, if I inscribed on this, it would be too much work."

Which one is called Uncle Yong, who heard the person opposite say this, frowned, "What are you doing standing there stupidly, you don't want to hear it, you don't have any consciousness at all, can't you see that there is no water in the cup?" ”

Lu Zifei just reacted that this was talking about me! The temper was quite big, he laughed at himself, and the three of them went out to suffer the villain, and said to the big cow behind him to bring what he needed.

The two people who spoke didn't care about Lu Zifei, who was busy before and after, and continued to talk loudly, there was a faint fragrance in the air, and both of them were looking for the source of the fragrance, and finally their eyes were fixed on Lu Zifei's hand.

Lu Zifei didn't show off, he gave each of them a cup of boiled tea, asked Uncle Yong to take a sip, turned the tea in his mouth a few times, "Huh", and after a while, he said several good things in a row.
