After more than nine months, he returned to the capital again, walked on the familiar streets of the capital, looked at the tall square walls, the wide and straight streets, and heard the Chang'an Beijing accent familiar to the people on the streets, Wang Yuan was deeply touched.

In the big car beside her, Princess Aluo lifted half of the car curtain, revealing two bony beautiful eyes looking at the Chang'an market in surprise, and her mouth kept letting out surprised sounds.

The scale of Taihe City, the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom, is only slightly larger than a state capital city in the Tang Dynasty, after arriving in Chengdu, Princess A Luo has been extremely surprised by the scale and architecture of Chengdu City, Chengdu City is equivalent to the size of three Taihe Cities, both the scale of the market and the number of people have exceeded A Luo's imagination. On the way, Wang Yuan told Ah Luo that when the size of the capital was more than three times that of Chengdu, Ah Luo still didn't believe it. At this moment, just after entering from Yanping Gate and walking a few blocks of Minfang, Ah Luo had already realized how grand the scale and grandeur of the capital described by Wang Yuankou were.

"Is Chang'an City the same as you imagined?" Wang Yuan immediately leaned over and asked with a smile.

Princess Aluo shook her head slightly and said, "It's completely different, what I imagined is definitely not like this." This city is big, but I feel a little cold, it doesn't seem to be lively at all. There are a lot of people, but the people here seem to be very cautious. Look at the people who walked, their steps were hurried, and they didn't seem to be very fast. ”

Wang Yuan smiled slightly, and Ah Luo's feelings were very keen. The capital Chang'an is not grand and prosperous, but it does have a cold atmosphere in the prosperity. Ordinary people are not the owners of this grand city, the real masters live in tall palaces, high walls and deep mansions. The common people are nothing more than the enslaved objects of the city, the wretched creatures bound by the morning bell and the evening drum. Perhaps it is this kind of unfreedom that Arlo feels.

"Hurrying, because it's almost evening. As soon as the drums sounded, the people would all go back to the people's houses. In the capital, people are not allowed to wander the streets at night, which is why they are in such a hurry to go home. Wang Yuan smiled.

Ah Luo looked at the tall square walls on both sides of the wide street, frowned, and said, "Are you saying that the high walls next to these streets are square walls?" Isn't this a cage? And when evening came, they drove the people back into their cages. Isn't this treating the people as animals? In my Taihe City, no matter day or night, the people can move freely, how can there be such a rule. I suddenly don't like this Chang'an City anymore, although it is very beautiful and grand. ”

Wang Yuan smiled dumbly and said, "We don't live here, we just brought you here to take a look." Isn't there any such restriction in Chengdu? In fact, the capital also has the beauty of the capital, these days you only feel good, don't think about these messy things. This is not your home. ”

Ah Luo smiled and nodded, "You're right, I don't talk much." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Obediently, let's go back to the old house in Jing'anfang and settle down, the scenery there is very good." Once settled, I will go and ask where your brother lives, so that you can be reunited. After my business is done, I will take some time to accompany you to visit the good places in the capital. The East City and the West Market, Baqiao Liu'an, and the famous places of interest in the capital are all good places to go. ”

"Okay." Princess A Luo smiled at Wang Yuanyan, lowered the curtain and retracted her face.

Hundreds of Jiannan's personal guard cavalry surrounded Wang Yuanhao, and went straight along the straight street to Jing'anfang in the east city. When I entered the gate of Jing'an Fangfang, the rumbling drums sounded all over the city, and it was already time for the night fast. Listening to this familiar drum sound, Wang Yuan felt deeply. However, listening to this drum sound at this moment is completely different from the feeling when I listened to this drum sound when I was in the capital. Back then, this drum sound brought panic to people, but now this drum sound is a kind of majesty to Wang Yuan, but there is no panic in his heart.

The old mansion of the Wang family in the southeast of Jing'anfang stands quietly under the twilight, the grass in front of the house is trimmed smoothly, and the ground is swept clean. The lantern in front of the porch has been lit, and the words 'royal house' are clearly visible on the lantern. Everything was as it was when I left nine months ago. It seems that the two ancestors and grandchildren of the Qin family who stayed behind and some servants took good care of the house.

When the ancestors and grandsons of the Qin family learned the news of their master's return, they hurriedly rushed to the gate of the mansion with more than ten servants who stayed behind, and welcomed Wang Yuan and others into the mansion and settled down. Wang Yuan took A Luo back and forth in the house, and everything in the house was as before, retaining the appearance of leaving. The back house has been sealed since Wang Yuan's family left, and only two maidservants ensure daily cleaning, and they can also move in directly at this moment. The rest of the courtyard is nothing unusual. Only the back garden is a little decadent, there is no Gongsun Lan every day in the back garden to take care of, the flowers and trees grow wildly, the plum branches are slanted, the lotus leaves of the small pond are also messy, and the long grass in the corner of the yard is also knee-deep, losing the delicacy of the time. If Gongsun Lan knew that this was the case, she would be sad and distressed.

After settling down, Wang Yuan and Father Qin sat opposite each other and chatted about some family things. Wang Yuan was most worried that during the time he left the capital, someone would come to harass him in the house. But according to Father Qin, there was no nuisance. It's just that Mrs. Qin Guo brought people to see it twice, but she only left after looking at Wang Yuan's residence in the back house, and rewarded the servants with all their money and goods.

When Wang Yuan heard this, his eyes showed the graceful and gorgeous face of Mrs. Qin Guo, this woman is still very good to herself, whether she is in or out of bed, her performance is the same as always, and Wang Yuan is the most careless with her. Wang Yuan even felt that Mrs. Qin Guo had made up for a vacancy in her heart to some extent. If some of the wives and concubines are like sisters and some are like sisters, Mrs. Qin Guo gives herself more of a kind of care with maternal love. Although it seems a bit perverted to think so, Wang Yuan did feel this feeling of perverted love.

Thinking of Mrs. Qin Guo, Wang Yuan's heart was hot, and he couldn't wait to go to Mrs. Qin's mansion to see her immediately. But Wang Yuan knew that he had to be careful with every move after entering Beijing, especially in the order of meeting people. Before meeting His Majesty, he must not have private contact with anyone, otherwise he will be asking for trouble.

It was getting dark, and Father Qin and the little sister of the Qin family were busy instructing the kitchen to cook and prepare wine, but Wang Yuan knew that it was impossible for him to eat this dinner at home. When the wine and food were served, Wang Yuan bathed and changed clothes and prepared to stop, and prepared to go out with more than a dozen personal guards.

Wang Yuan wanted to see Xuanzong, and he wanted to see Xuanzong as soon as he came back to settle down, which was not only a move to avoid suspicion as an envoy of the border town, but also the etiquette of a courtier. Whether Xuanzong can see it or not is another matter, but Wang Yuan must go to the palace to ask for a meeting.

More than a dozen horsemen galloped out of Jing'anfang, galloped all the way on the empty street, and arrived in front of Xingqing Palace after a quarter of an hour. Dismounted to the palace gate to hand over the name post, the forbidden army guarding the palace did not dare to stop it, let Wang Yuan enter the palace, and at the same time report to the interior. When Wang Yuan went to the outside of the Hundred Gardens, he learned that His Majesty and the concubine were listening to music in the Nanxun Palace, and asked Wang Jiedu to go to the Nanxun Hall to see the driver.

Under the guidance of the chamberlain, Wang Yuan walked through the hundred gardens and the flower and tree trails on the side of the dragon pond and went straight to the Nanxun Palace. The lights in the Nanxun Hall are brilliant, dozens of attendants are waiting in the corridor of the temple door, stepping on the red carpet laid on the corridor, and silently going to the hall of the apse.

In front of the hall of the apse, several personal attendants stood at the door and waited, and an attendant stepped forward to greet him, and whispered a few words to the palace attendant who led Wang Yuan, and the attendant came forward to salute and said: "Wang Jiedu envoy, Your Majesty is waiting for you, let the villain speak." ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "There is labor." ”

The chamberlain bowed and turned into the hall, and after a moment the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall stopped abruptly, and soon a tall figure appeared in the doorway. Wang Yuan saw that this person was busy stepping forward and saluting: "Master, Wang Yuan is polite. ”

The person who came in front of the door was none other than Gao Lishi, with silver hair, a tall figure and a smile on his face.

"Wang Jiedu, come into the palace and see you, Your Majesty and the concubine are waiting for you." Colliers smiled back, leaned to the side, and made a gesture of please.

Wang Yuan bowed down and asked Gao Lishi to go first, but Gao Lishi didn't say much, and walked into the hall first. Wang Yuan followed him in, straightened his clothes outside the screen in front of him, and then walked out quickly from the side of the screen, and walked quickly under the gaze of more than a dozen chamberlains and palace maids, and entered the brightly lit hall.

"The minister Wang Yuan came to see His Majesty and the concubine Niangniang, long live Your Majesty. The concubine Niangniang has a long life and happiness. Wang Yuan knelt down and bowed.

"Hehehe, quickly flatten, quickly flattened. Lux, give Wang Yuan a seat. ”

Xuanzong's voice sounded above his head, and Wang Yuan thanked him again and stood up. An attendant brought a brocade stool and placed it beside Wang Yuan.

"Wang Yuan, why did you go back to the capital, I don't seem to have called you back to Beijing. When the chamberlain came to report, I still didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be you. Xuanzong sat on the soft seat of the dragon couch and looked at Wang Yuandao with a smile.

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "The minister should have returned to Beijing to thank him, but after the battle of Nanzhao, the minister had to stay in Jiannan to take care of the aftermath, His Majesty Longen could not thank him personally, and his heart was extremely uneasy." Now that the affairs of Jiannan have come to an end, the minister wants to go back to Beijing to meet His Majesty and personally thank His Majesty. ”

Xuanzong laughed and said: "I see, it's okay to go back to Beijing for a walk, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I want to see you too." Yesterday, I also said to the concubine that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't have your new poems, but I didn't expect you to come back today. Good, good to come back. ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I often remember Weichen, and the ministers are grateful. ”

Xuanzong smiled and said: "Don't be grateful, you have made great contributions to the war of Nanzhao Kingdom, and I have eliminated the trouble in the southwest, and I want to be grateful to you." I am confident and have a good vision, I love the concubine, look, I was a special entry into Wang Yuan as a bachelor of Hanlin, and many people still said that I broke the rules again. Now how about it? My youngest envoy in the Tang Dynasty is not only brilliant in literature, but also leads the army to fight invincible, and now I'm afraid that no one will chew the root of his tongue. ”

The corner of Wang Yuan's eyes glanced at Yang Guifei, who was sitting two feet beside Xuanzong, and happened to meet Yang Guifei's clear gaze, so he was startled and hurriedly looked away. But I heard Yang Guifei say: "Yes, San Lang, you are amazing, right?" You've said this a dozen times. ”
