Gao Yue thought to himself: Xue Yaoying, the female crown Dao Gu, is really a bit of a hand and eye to the sky, as Yuan Zai's concubine, she seems to have a very wide range of connections in the capital of the Tang Empire, and even Lu Hua, the head of the Baqiao Station, reported to her as soon as possible.

It shows that Xue Yaoying has never been alone, and although Yuan Zai has fallen, an official group that was originally condensed around him has not been uprooted, but has chosen to lie dormant - and he himself seems to be faintly involved in the struggle of different groups, and the temple is the rivers and lakes, this sentence is not wrong.

So following Lu Hua's advice, Gao Yue walked directly to the post house before the carriage that the noble lady was riding stopped steadily.

The whole post house surrounded by buildings on all sides, the post hall on the first floor is full of food tables and low spoons, this is a place for past officials to eat, the overall layout is not much different from the building of the Taixue Pavilion, in addition, it is also very kind to Gao Yue, who has lived in the principal for seven years.

I saw a man in an official uniform sitting there in the middle of the first floor, with a candle flame in front of him, a few plates of vegetables and vegetables, with his back to Gao Yue, looking full of grievances.

There was a famous post official standing next to him, and when he saw Lu Hua and Gao Yue coming in together, he stepped forward to greet him, "The post chief is here." ”

"This is a student of Guozi Eunuch, Gao Yue Gao Yisong after the Marquis of Bohai." When Lu Hua stepped forward, the first thing he did was to introduce Gao Yue.

"Oh?" The man in the official uniform turned around, and Gao Yue saw his appearance clearly, his eyebrows were sparse and his appearance was dignified, especially his black and shiny beard was particularly majestic, directly floating on his chest, this was probably the favorite type of "beautiful bearded man" of ancient people.

Then the man got up and saluted, and when Gao Yue saw that his official uniform was already dark blue, he knew that he must have been demoted, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Madame Zun, I have escorted him." ”

"I'm ashamed, I got the edict today, and I was far away as Daozhou Sima, and I was not allowed to stay in the capital, so I immediately got up directly from Duting Station to Baqiao Station, which was originally going to set off by boat overnight, thanks to the help of the post chief Lu Jiu and this Cui Eighteen, on the grounds of the lack of horses at the post station, it was delayed for one night, so that the cheap can accompany me." The man's voice was like a bell, and although he was in adversity, he was still in good spirits.

Could it be that he is the "person who can avenge Yuan Zai" as Xue Yaoying said?

After speaking, the head of the men's regiment thanked the post leader Lu Hua, and also thanked the post official named Cui Qing (Cui Eighteen), and also expressed his gratitude to Gao Yue.

The moment Gao Yue returned the salute, he saw the bone cylinder talisman hanging from the man's waist.

Because when he just went out of the city, the man's wife fainted due to her weakness, and Gao Yue never asked her about her husband's identity, but now he understands when he sees the talisman.

Originally, the Tang Dynasty officials used to accept free accommodation and entertainment at the post station, and they had to hold the handbook issued by the province of Menxia, and this handbook was also carved into the four images of the green dragon, the vermilion bird, the white tiger and the Xuanwu according to the southeast and northwest, and was packed in the bone cylinder - later because the officials who came and went at the post station were too frequent, so the handbook began to be replaced by paper coupons, and the man still used the handbook, which shows that his status in the imperial city before the demotion of the official is not trivial.

The talisman is in the shape of a red bird, because he is going south, far away from Daozhou, and the bone cylinder is still engraved with the long distance, and under the light of the candle, he can see the man's name clearly:

"Daozhou Sima, Yang Yan".

Yang Yan!

For Gao Yue, this name is too familiar, but even the textbooks of the compulsory education stage have to mention him, is he the Yang Yan who later became the prime minister and presided over the most far-reaching tax reform in ancient China - the implementation of the two tax laws?

"Xiaoyangshan was originally a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he was about to be promoted to be a ruler by the Holy Lord, but who wanted to be slandered by traitors and implicated in the Yuan Xiang case, so he was far from Daozhou." Over there, Lu Hua stretched out his hand, for fear that Gao Yue would not know the identity of the other party, and hurriedly introduced.

What is involved, this Yang Yan is afraid that it is Yuan Zai's party at all.

But this can be thought but not said, now what Xue Yaoying said about the "glory opportunity" is to ask herself to bet on Yang Yan's body!

Xue Yaoying predicted Yang Yan's talent, and I—I roughly knew the script of my Tang timeline—this Yang Sima should stay for less than two or three years, and he would be edicted to return to Beijing, and the position of prime minister would still be his, and the two tax laws would depend on him to implement it.

It's just that I don't know the details behind all this, after all, the real history is not as simple as those few lines of ink in the history books.

At this time, Yang Yan's wife stumbled in, and the husband and wife immediately held hands and cried to each other.

"Come, if it weren't for this Gao Langjun to save him, you and I might be on separate sides." Yang Yan held his wife and pointed at Gao Yue with the other hand.

Mrs. immediately wiped away her tears, and bowed to Gao Yue, "Yang Lang is in a hurry, the concubine has been sick in bed for the past few days, if there is no Gao Langjun to send the car and horse, once Yang Lang is alone and degraded to Daozhou, and the concubine stays in Chang'an, I am afraid that in the end, both will not die well, Gao Langjun's great kindness, I really don't know how to repay." ”

How to reciprocate, don't you have points in your heart? However, Gao Yue is now very sober-Xue Yaoying regards himself as an idle chess player, and he will treat Yang Yan as an idle chess player in the past two years - Yang Yan is now losing power, and he was implicated in the Yuan Zai case and was relegated to Daozhou, and he can't count on him for the time being, so he can only choose the opportunity to act.

So I can only say beautiful things first, and burn the cold stove hotter first.

"Madame, why bother!" Gao Yue's face was solemn, he stepped forward to stop Yang Yan's wife, and then quickly and politely took two steps back, crossed his hands and saluted the two of them, "Yang Yan's reputation for serving the righteous is all over the world, who doesn't know?" However, because of the ferocity of the traitorous party, he didn't dare to stretch it, as long as Yang Yizhi could rush to Daozhou safely and wait for the day when the time came. The holy lord will inevitably realize the grievances of Yang Zhizhi, and recall the capital with an edict, and he must be announced in vain and ordered by Fu (this sentence he learned from Chang Gon). ”

Who thought that Yang Yan's wife would cry instead, Yang Yan hurriedly comforted her and shook his head at Gao Yue, his face was embarrassed, and he looked very embarrassed, "It's embarrassing, after the overthrow of Yuan Xiang, Yan has been waiting for punishment, who thinks that the power of heaven is unpredictable, and today suddenly issued an edict, Yan is now penniless to Baqiao Station, originally Ruoyan went on the road alone, at least he could rely on this talisman, one post after another, to Daozhou." But there is no messenger in the cheap, and it is impossible for the post stations along the way to provide her with food and accommodation. Really, really, it's ......"

Gao Yue saw Lu Hua across the other side at this time, and glanced at him.

"Yang Servant, don't worry about money at all, Mrs. Zun's room and board expenses are all included!" Gao Yue's eyes were wide open, and he also imitated my Tang official, and his sleeves were waved down vigorously, looking categorical.
