Soon the emperor issued an edict again, and posthumously presented Cai Tingyu as the secretary of Dali Temple, and Zhu Tiwei as the assassin of Yuzhou, so as to exert political pressure on Zhu Tao in Youzhou.

Of course, there is also military pressure, the emperor ordered Zhang Guangsheng to revert to the Zhenwu army festival envoy, to guard the north stopper, Zhang Guangsheng is known as a prestige, immediately frightened Hui and Youzhou did not dare to act rashly, and the Hu people did not dare to run to Hedong and Hetao to "scrape the city gate" (robbery).

In addition, in the counterinsurgency war, Li Sheng, the greatest hero of the recovery of the Beijing Division, led 3,000 tooth soldiers to start out of Xiwei Bridge with mixed feelings, and took up the Xichuan Festival envoy from Chencang Road to the capital of Shu.

It is said that before Li Sheng left, he said to his concubine Gao Liu, I am going to Xichuan, I am afraid that Zhang Yansheng will stay in Beijing and attack me later.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Sheng left on the front foot, Hedong Jiedu made Ma Sui rush into Beijing, and with the assistance of Zhang Yansheng, he was sainted, and promised the emperor that after I went back, I would raise 30,000 elite soldiers in Hedong and attack Li Huaiguang's four states in Hezhong by different routes, and within two months, the head of the traitor would be dedicated to His Majesty.

I also heard that Ma Sui even flattered the emperor and said, Ping Li Huaiguang, food and rewards will be borne by our Hedong Military Government, and it will not cost the court a penny or a drop in money.

"Aiqing is really loyal and brave." Li Shi greatly praised Ma Suifan.

Ma Sui was very happy, and said to the emperor, after Ping Li Huaiguang, I don't want to be an official to give back: Heshuo Shenzhou assassin Shi Kang Rizhi, was besieged by the traitor Wang Wujun and Zhu Tao (even after these two removed the king's title, there was no ceasefire), Shenzhou is afraid that the day and night will not be safe, please Your Majesty grant the four states of Hezhong to Kang Rizhi.

The emperor was very moved and immediately agreed to Ma Sui's invitation.

In fact, there was a reason for Ma Sui to ask Kang Rizhi to come to the river as a festival envoy. Kang Rizhi is very familiar with him, and Lao Kang is the envoy of the festival, and the east of the river and the middle of the river are connected with each other, which can greatly increase the weight of his speech in the court.

But for Li Shi, what Ma Sui thought was already in his expectation.

This is Li Shi's evolved version of the mastery of the courtiers, he first strongly respected Li Sheng, drove Li Sheng to work hard to recover Chang'an City, and then when he was in full swing, he carried Leng Zi Ma Sui out and killed Li Sheng's momentum, so as to achieve the goal of controlling everything.

Privately, before Ma Sui returned to Taiyuan Mansion, he had a secret meeting with Zhang Yansheng, and the approximate content was that I immediately relied on the merits of pacifying Li Huaiguang to recommend you to be appointed as the prime minister under Bai Ma Xuan.

Zhang Yanxiang hated Li Sheng to death, and Ma Sui was also jealous of Li Sheng, so the two hit it off and formed a political alliance.

Zhang Yansheng, who was encouraged, immediately took out the impostor of Li Sheng's youngest son-in-law, Cui Shu, and first showed it to Li Sheng's secretary Yu Gongyi, and then to Li Sheng's eldest son-in-law Zhang Yu.

Sure enough, Yu Gongyi was furious, thinking that Li Sheng was blatantly plagiarizing his hard work, and immediately returned Qianguan's pen money in its original form, and then announced that he would break off with the master of the shogun, leave the house by himself, and not go to Xichuan with Li Sheng.

Li Sheng knew that he was at a loss, so he gave out 500 horses and 2,000 pieces of money, and kept Yu Gongyi in a low voice, but Yu Gongyi did not appreciate it at all, threw the money and silk sent by Li Sheng on the ground, rode back to the horse alone, and returned to Beijing from Chencang Road.

After returning to Beijing, Zhang Yansheng immediately recommended Yu Gongyi to the emperor.

Soon, Yu Gongyi entered the Hanlin Academy as a six-pin to participate in the maintenance of the aircraft.

At the same time, Li Sheng's eldest son-in-law Zhang Yu was going to go to Jianzhou to assassinate the history, but he suddenly did not leave, and was reappointed as Jingzhao Shaoyin, and began to have frequent contact with Zhang Yansheng, and seemed to be jealous of Li Sheng's preference for his little son-in-law Cui Shu, and parted ways with Taishan.

The secretary is gone, the eldest son-in-law is gone, and he has fallen into the infamy of being a slow sage, so Li Sheng, who was frightened, went to the capital of Shu in a disgraced manner, and couldn't help but think of Gao Yue, so he sent a letter to Gao Yue through his old subordinate Cai Fengyuan.

Neri hoped that Gao Yue could persuade Liu Yan and Han Yun to join forces and share the power of the world to deal with Zhang Yansheng and Ma Sui's alliance.

When the letter was handed over to Gao Yue, he was in the Xuanping Workshop in Chang'an, watching the Zi craftsmen and bricklayers in the court building a mansion for him.

Because the previous emperor promised to let him and Wei Gao enter the four grades, and gave the first place in Beijing, of which Wei Gao's mansion was in the Xiuzheng Workshop adjacent to Qujiang; Gao Yue is in Xuanpingfang, which is adjacent to Anyi Fang in the north and Shengpingfang of his father-in-law Cui Ning in the south.

Gao Yue's mansion, in the southeast corner of this Xuanpingfang, was originally the prince's mansion, and was included in the official market after being abandoned, and is now given to him by the emperor.

For many bureaucrats in the Tang Empire, Jinshi and Di were often only the first step, and it was the true glory of life to get a house in Chang'an City and set up a foothold. But it is not easy to do this, because Chang'an is not only expensive rice, but also more expensive to live, and has always been described as "rice beads and laurels". For example, Bai Juyi, when he was a bachelor of Hanlin, because the cost of living in Chang'an was too great, he felt that he was unable to support his mother Chen by relying on the bachelor's salary, so he wrote to Emperor Xianzong and asked for the title of foreign official as an internal post (Hanlin bachelor), so he was appointed as a Jingzhao Mansion Hu Cao to join the army, this position has 50,000 yuan a month, so Bai Juyi settled down, and was able to run a house in Chang'an City, so that his mother could live for a long time; Another example is Du Mu, when he was a priest in the capital, he paid 40,000 yuan a month, which is not low, but in order to support his younger brother who was sick and his widowed sister, he could only write to the prime minister and ask for the release of Hangzhou Thorn History (Hangzhou Thorn Shi Yue Cheng has 80,000 money, and gray income), in the Qiwen Du Mu said to the prime minister, "It is a history of thorns, then a family of flesh and bones, and there are Thai everywhere; For the Beijing official, then the family is flesh and blood, and there are sleepy everywhere", the prime minister did not agree, and promoted him to the head of the Ministry of Officials, it stands to reason that he has been promoted, but Du Mu still does not forgive, three times to the prime minister, ask for release, and finally get what he wants, go to Shangzhou Huzhou for the history of assassination, only a year, he returned to Beijing to be promoted to the Ministry of Officials Examination Gong Lang, Du Mu went to Huzhou before the whole family was hungry and panicked, but after coming back, not only the whole family had no worries about food and clothing, but also began to build a villa in Fan Chuan, outside Chang'an-according to Du Mu's nephew Pei Yanhan, His second uncle (Uncle Zhong) is exactly "doing his best to make money for Wu Xing and creating his villa" - it shows that this Xiao Du has scraped a lot of money during his tenure in Huzhou (in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, in addition to the normal provisions of the imperial court, the assassin can also get money from the state-level treasury to give himself additional allowances).

In any case, the examples of Bai Juyi and Du Mu show that in the political and cultural center of the country at that time, the great Chang'an City, not to mention the low-end population, even the low-end bureaucrats, it was difficult to survive, let alone build a house.

But Gao Yue, who is now thirty-two years old, because of the credit of Fengtian City, did not have to spend his own money, and he was directly given the gift of the mansion.

In this way, Gao Yue and Yun Shao will not have to stay in their father-in-law's Shengpingfang mansion in Beijing from now on.

The Xuanpingfang Jiadi given to him by the emperor is said to be not large.

When Gao Yue saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the scale was indeed not large, and it was only nine acres of land in the third courtyard, which was converted into a mere 6,000 square meters.
