The first batch of cattle and horses sent by Beijin, in addition to the 50,000 left in Liaodong, the remaining 80,000 have all come to Guanzhong, this time the Beijin people exchanged these cattle and horses for a large number of salt, iron, tea and other necessities, of which 30,000 are still Wanyan Zongbi free gifts, the reason why Wanyan Zongbi is so generous is because Yuyang Pass is now in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and all the troops of the Beijin are confronting Goryeo on the eastern front.

In this world, nothing can escape the concept of the law of the jungle, if Datang does not take back Yuyang, it is the same as before, it can only defend everywhere, not to mention 130,000 cattle and horses, it is estimated that even 30,000 cattle and horses are not willing to give you ......

After 80,000 cattle and horses entered Guanzhong, Li Jun had a detailed understanding of the current horse politics of the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty has been lacking good horse grazing land, and war horses have been in short supply, so now all the war horses are basically state-owned, and they are raised by the Taifu Temple, and then provided to the military.

So if you want to manage the horse well, you can't do without the position of the servant, but unfortunately now the position of the servant is vacant, the original servant Ling just died of illness in December last year, Li Jun was busy, and he forgot about it, because the Taifu Temple has been lacking a master for three or four months, so Li Jun is very uneasy, and arranged for Jinyiwei to secretly investigate several horse farms around the capital.

In the end, the results were very dissatisfied, there should be 80,000 good horses around the capital according to the system, but the actual investigation results were only 60,000, a whole less than 20,000 horses, Jinyi Wei inquired, it turned out that the people of the Taifu Temple rented out the horses.

Li Jun was furious, cut off more than a dozen heads, and fiercely shocked the people of the Taifu Temple, and then summoned the ministers to discuss the new candidates for the Taifu.

Prime Minister Xiao Wangzhi is now less and less in charge of these major personnel matters, especially after the queen is pregnant, Xiao Wangzhi is even less in charge, for Xiao Wangzhi's mentality Li Jun also understands that a family is prosperous and declining, and the emperor is most afraid of strong relatives, which is not good for the queen and the future prince.

But now you can't pick on it, although Li Jun has some prestige, but the prestige is still far from enough, many things still need to borrow Xiao Wangzhi's network, looking at Xiao Wang's absent-minded appearance, Li Jun decisively announced the cancellation of the meeting, and then only Xiao Wang was left.

Li Jun still respects Xiao Wangzhi as always, and said with a smile: "Teacher, students have always been a little confused recently, and I ask the teacher to solve students' doubts." ”

"Your Majesty, please say that although the old minister is already deaf and dazzled, he still has a certain understanding of this court matter."

"Teacher, the student made it clear, the student has recently felt that this courtier is more afraid of the student than respectful, and even many ministers are superficial and dare not do things, but they seek no fault, not meritorious, teacher, what do you think I should do to restore this situation?"

Xiao Wangzhi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, Lao Chen understands, all this is because Lao Chen, who is the prime minister, did not take the lead, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

Li Jun helped Xiao Wangzhi up: "Teacher, the student is not joking, at this time, the student is inseparable from the teacher, please ask the teacher to help the student again, and please rest assured that the student will never lose the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Wangzhi sighed and said: "Your Majesty's intentions, the old minister understands, the old minister thought too much before, and recently delayed the government, please forgive your majesty." ”

"The teacher is too polite, and the students just hope that the teacher can stand up for the last shift of Datang, so that he can live quietly and retirement."

"The old minister understands, Your Majesty, this new servant and old minister really has a suitable candidate."

"Teacher, please speak."

Xiao Wangzhi said with a smile: "This person is the old minister's lifelong rival Yuan Zhan, although Yuan Zhan and the old minister are political enemies, but the old minister must not admire this person's talent, but unfortunately the old minister's life is good, when Emperor Jingtai chose the old minister as the prime minister, Yuan Zhan resigned and went into hiding in anger." ”

Li Jun sighed: "The teacher really has the style of the ancients, and the students admire it, by the way, where is Yuan Zhan?" ”

"Not far away, this person is now on Zhongnan Mountain outside the city."

"Okay, teacher, since Yuan Zhan is a virtuous person, is the teacher interested in accompanying the students on a trip to Zhongnan Mountain?" Li Jun invited with a smile.

Xiao Wangzhi waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, forget it, this person is very arrogant, if he knew that the old minister recommended him, he would definitely not go down the mountain, it is better for His Majesty to go in person." ”

Li Jun bowed his hand to Xiao Wangzhi and said: "The teacher is a virtuous person for the country, regardless of the past suspicions, the students have thanked him." ”

"Your Majesty has tormented the old minister."

Li Jun is a person who does what he says, and after sending Xiao Wangzhi out of the palace, Li Jun took He Shen and Ji Meng straight to Zhongnan Mountain.

This trip, because it was a visit to Xian, so Li Jun didn't bring many people, only took a dozen guards and set off, Li Jun and others arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, resting in a tavern, Li Jun drank sour wine in a sip, looked around at the world, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

At this time, Ji Meng cautiously came to Li Jun's side and said, "Your Majesty, the location of Baiyun Temple has been inquired clearly. ”

Li Jun nodded, and just wanted to leave, he saw the people rushing towards a high platform in front of him, Li Jun couldn't control his curiosity, and also walked over with everyone, only to find that a young woman in white clothes and a white veil on the high platform in front of him was preaching.

There are a few big men below who sent medicine and said: "Fellow villagers, this medicine is specially prepared by my Buddha's mother for everyone, and I drank our Buddha's mother's medicine to ensure that everyone is not sick." ”

When Li Jun heard this, he inadvertently frowned, this kind of method Li Jun felt very familiar, and those cults in later generations often used this method when they fooled the people, Li Jun waved his hand to a guard behind him, and the guard slipped into the crowd flexibly, and then quickly came to Li Jun with a bowl of potion.

Li Jun is a half-Chinese medicine doctor, but Li Jun can't see what this bowl of potion in front of him is? At this time, Li Jun secretly regretted that it would be good if he brought Huashan this time, at this time, a village woman came to Li Jun and the others and said with a smile: "Look at this son's extraordinary temperament, what is the reason for coming here in the poor countryside?" ”

Li Jun arched his hand and replied: "Sister-in-law, we are here to find friends in Zhongnan Mountain." ”

The village woman nodded, and then left, when suddenly it rained heavily, a group of people suddenly knelt on the ground like crazy, and only Li Jun and a dozen other people stood there in the whole area, and then Li Jun went to look for the village woman, but she was nowhere to be found.

Ji Meng whispered behind Li Jun: "Your Majesty, the village woman just now has changed her face, and her skills are very unusual, Your Majesty, just in case, the minister suggests that Your Majesty should leave this place of right and wrong first." ”

Li Jun nodded and said to He Shen: "Tell He Jun that Jinyi Wei is focusing on monitoring this place, and report any situation to me immediately." ”

"The old slave obeys." He Shen replied immediately.

Li Jun glanced coldly at the people kneeling on the ground, and then left with everyone regardless of the heavy rain, and the village woman who suddenly disappeared appeared behind Li Jun and the others at this time, looking at Li Jun's departing figure and muttering: "There is a dragon ring jade pendant unique to the royal family, could it be that the young man who is high up in the sky?" ”

This rain came in a hurry, and it went quickly, Li Jun and the others had just gone up Zhongnan Mountain, and they stopped before they reached Baiyun Temple, Li Jun looked back, and there was no one over there.

Ji Meng saw that Li Jun had something on his mind and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, the minister was also scared into a cold sweat just now, and that village woman's skills are far inferior. ”

Li Jun sighed and said, "Let's go, I always feel that this is a little uneven, maybe if I find Mr. Yuan, I can solve my doubts." ”

"The ministers obey."

Baiyun Temple is very difficult to find, Li Jun and others took a lot of effort and turned many mountain roads to come to the door of Baiyun Temple, Ji Meng muttered in a low voice: "What the hell is this place?" Why is it so evil? ”

Li Jun said with a smile: "Ji Qing, you are still a soldier, this is probably the art of Qimen Dunjia." ”

"Ah, Your Majesty, is there really such a strange person in the world?"

"Is there any? You'll know if you've seen it. ”

At this time, a little boy thief came out and asked, "This view never accepts outsiders, please go back." ”

Li Jun said amiably: "This little master, called Long Jun, has come to visit Mr. Yuan, please report to the little master." ”

"It's really not good, Mr. Yuan is playing chess with his ancestors, and I don't dare to disturb them." Xiao Daotong shook his head and said.

Li Jun smiled and said, "Since the little master doesn't want to report, then he will break through in the next place." ”

As soon as Li Jun's words fell, several guards drove Xiao Daotong aside, and Xiao Daotong shouted anxiously: "You are so unreasonable, how can you trespass on people's houses." ”

Li Jun laughed and said, "There is no place in the world where Long can't go." After speaking, he entered the Taoist temple with his head held high.

The Taoist temple is not big, it is a two-entry courtyard, Li Jun directly entered the backyard, in the backyard, an old man in brown clothes was playing chess with an old man with a childish face, Li Jun arched his hand at the door and said: "In Xia Longjun, meet Mr. Yuan." ”

The brown-clothed old man put down the chess pieces in his hand and said with a smile: "The donor is extraordinary, since he is here to find an old friend, then the old man will retire first." ”

The old man with a childish face and crane hair scolded: "Bullnose old way, you are playing tricks again, you will lose this game immediately." ”

The brown-clothed old man smiled without saying a word, shook his head and left.

After the old man left, the old man turned around, and when he saw Li Jun, he was shocked at the first glance: "Grass people Yuan Zhan see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”

Li Jun hurriedly helped Yuan Zhan up and said with a wry smile: "Old Mr. Yuan, how did you see my identity?" ”

Yuan Zhan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, three points, the first point is that you are very similar to Emperor Jingtai, especially the mouth, which is exactly the same, the second is that you claim to be surnamed Long, in this world except for the emperor, who dares to call yourself surnamed Long, and the third is the dragon-shaped jade pendant on your body." ”

Li Jun laughed and said, "Sir really taught me another good lesson, I thought I had disguised myself very well, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Mr. ”

"The old minister is ashamed."
