When he woke up, Gongsun Xi stretched his waist greatly, looked at the weather that was already on the rise, and patted his cheeks. I lifted my spirits, freshened up, and put on a light makeup.

Just as she was about to go out, Zhang Ni leaned up mysteriously: "The person from the West Courtyard asked about the situation in Chang'an again!" ”

"West Courtyard, ......"

Gongsun Xi unconsciously held the hilt of the sword, a little embarrassed, and thought for a while: "You go down, I'll go to the West Courtyard to have a look." ”

The west courtyard is very different from the east courtyard where Gongsun Xi himself lives.

The courtyard where Gongsun Xi lives is relatively simple, but in this west courtyard, you can see many flowers and plants from the south, south, and northwest, and the furnishings are exquisite and the environment is beautiful.

Stepping into the west courtyard, Gongsun Xi saw the person he had come to see in front of the wing.

A woman who used to be a thorn in the eye of her opponent, but now she can't hate it.

"Eldest Princess!"

Li Zhiying was originally a princess, but with Li Longji's accession to the throne, as Li Longji's favorite sister, she naturally became the eldest princess. Now that Li Yan has ascended the throne, Li Zhiying's identity has changed from the eldest princess to the eldest princess.

The status of the Li Tang Dynasty is the highest status except for the empress dowager and empress.

Li Zhiying still remembers the situation when he lived here, Li Yan fled west, and Chang'an was in turmoil.

Li Quy Nhon was bribed by the rebels and surrendered the city.

Zhang Kang intended to control Li Zhiying to threaten Pei Min, and the rebels reached the eldest princess's mansion.

It was Gongsun Xi who saved her at the last moment.

Time has passed, and the personalities of both have changed greatly.

It was surprising that the two of them were not as hostile to Mai Mang as before.

"Miss Gongsun......" Li Zhiying said eagerly: "It has been several months since the rebels captured Chang'an, I don't know what the situation is outside?" Were the people of Chang'an plundered? I suddenly remembered that there was a Golden Immortal Temple in Taibai Mountain, and it was my sister's dojo. I remember being playful in my early years, and I found a secret cellar in the ashram's ashram. The cellar is stocked with a large number of treasures and artifacts, all of which have been given by my father and brother. Sister Jin Xian died suddenly, and those treasures were still in the cellar. The Gongsun girl is righteous and thin, and she can take it out and use it to help the people. ”

Gongsun Xi looked at the sky slightly and said, "It's okay...... The rebels were quite honest in Chang'an. A few dishonest ones also let me clean up. You...... Just live here with peace of mind, and it won't be long before it's all right. As for the treasures and artifacts of the Golden Immortal Temple, then I will not be polite to the eldest princess, Guanzhong has been affected a lot, and the victims can be seen everywhere. Division...... The treasury of the imperial court was looted, and there was no money left for relief. I'm worried about this......"

Li Zhiying sighed, bowed deeply, and said: "The people have this calamity, and they all rise because of my Li family, so everything is up to the girl." ”

Gongsun Xi agreed to the promise, but then squinted his eyes and said a few perfunctory words, and left.

Leaving the West Courtyard, Gongsun Xi came to Pei's Mansion while arranging for someone to withdraw the money.

Officials from all over the place outside the Pei Mansion gathered, coming and going, and there was an endless stream.

Chang'an is now respected by Pei Min, this Li Yan is not in the palace, Pei Min is inconvenient to be in charge of affairs in the imperial city, and directly turned his mansion into a political hall, responsible for handling all things in Gyeonggi.

As an auxiliary minister, Pei Min has many privileges, and at this moment, he is not stingy in using them. or appointed officials, or dismissed officials who performed poorly, or even collaborated with the enemy, stabilized the situation in Guanzhong.

Seeing Gongsun Xi, Pei Min smiled and said, "You came just in time, and I am looking for you with something." ”

Now he is in dire need of manpower, most of the officials have been searched, Guanzhong has been plundered, and many places need to be dealt with by manpower.

After not seeing each other for a while, Gongsun Xi broke away from his sister and gradually grew up.

She is as jealous as ever, but she learns and knows how to distinguish between right and wrong, does not care about things, and even has the idea of being a little chivalrous and serving the country and the people.

This time, Chang'an was robbed, because of the agreement with Mosley Massa, the rebels did not loot Chang'an openly, but many generals were still uncontrolled and committed illegal things.

Gongsun Xi decisively disbanded the Qingyu Building, turned the Qingyu Alliance from light to dark, and punished those generals who were evil in Chang'an, which was quite deterrent.

Through the information in his hand, Pei Min calculated that the rebels would abandon Chang'an, and sneaked into Chang'an first to make preparations.

Seeing the changes in Gongsun Xi, he was relieved and happy, but also unceremoniously used this free labor.

Gongsun Xi was also happy to do this, wandering around Pei Min all day long, listening to orders.

Pei Min said: "You arrange a reliable person to help me send a letter to Shuzhong and hand it over to Brother Shuhan, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu." ”

"Okay!" Gongsun Xi happily responded.

Pei Min continued: "Also, you help pay attention to the prices in Guanzhong, the more at this time, the more the economy can't be chaotic." I don't have that many people to investigate right now, so it's up to you. ”

Gongsun Xi promised again and went down to make arrangements.

A flying pigeon landed in the backyard of the palace of Chang'an County.

Wang Wei grabbed the carrier pigeon lightly, took the secret letter on his feet, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

"The King of the County! There's news from Song Gong's side! ”

Pei Min stretched out his hand to stop Wang Wei from continuing, but looked at Li Yu on the side and said, "Guess what, what is this news about?" ”

Li Mi pondered for a moment and said: "Take retreat as advance, agree to return the throne to Your Majesty, but find a reason not to return to Chang'an." ”

Pei Min looked at Wang Wei.

Wang Wei said with admiration: "Let Xiaoyou guess correctly, Song Gong said that King Zhong was very cooperative, and repeatedly said that it was expedient for him to accept His Majesty's Zen position, as long as everything is stable, even if Pei Shuai doesn't say it, he will hand over the throne to His Majesty again." It's just that His Majesty is now sick and inconvenient to return to the East. ”

Pei Min sighed: "It's so calculating, I know that this loyal king will not compromise and give up so easily." Chang'an is already under my control, and he knows very well that once he arrives in Chang'an, he will be in the mouth of a tiger. He can't go back to Chang'an's ......"

As he spoke, Gongsun Xi walked into the hall again.

"Master, the apprentice just received news from Luoyang, saying that Zhang Kang, the leader of the rebel army, has changed his name to An Lushan, and has been proclaimed emperor in Luoyang, with the country name Dayan, the year name Shengwu, and the vassals."

When Pei Min heard An Lushan, he said unexpectedly: "Sure enough, it's him!" ”

He had long suspected that this Zhang Kang might be that An Lushan, but he couldn't be sure!

Li Mi smiled: "Pei Shuai is famous, and he really has it." Before you could do it, he couldn't help it, and in order to appease the morale of the army, he hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor and bought people's hearts with high-ranking officials. It's just ......" He frowned slightly and said: "King Zhong is an internal trouble, and this An Lushan is an external trouble, both of which are in great danger, but I don't know if Pei Shuai plans to eliminate the internal worry first, or determine the external trouble first?" There are pros and cons to both......"

Pei Min didn't answer directly, but looked at Gongsun Xi with a smile and said, "There are two ants blocking the road in front of you, do you step on the right one first, or the one on the left?" ”
