of the ticket. ）

The group entered the city, but Wang Yuan did not go directly to Sanhualou to see the driver. Although Wang Yuan knew that Xuanzong must be waiting for him to meet him in Sanhualou at this moment, Wang Yuan didn't want to rush to see him. Before meeting Xuanzong, Wang Yuan wanted to see his family more.

At the entrance of the avenue leading to the Sanhua Building, Wang Yuan stopped, and said to Yan Zhenqing: "Yan Taishou, Your Majesty must wait to see and summon you, I think you will go to the pavilion to settle down first, and then go to see the driver after bathing and changing." You will settle down in the pavilion for the next few days, and I will order someone to arrange a place for you to live later. ”

Yan Zhenqing hurriedly said: "Obey the order of Wang Xiangguo." Let Sangkook bother. ”

Wang Yuan smiled slightly, turned his head to Wei Jiansu beside him and said, "Wei Zuoxiang, Yan Taishou will bother you to arrange the matter of driving." ”

Wei Jiansu was stunned and said, "Xiangguo, where are you going?" Isn't Xiangguo going to see the driver? Your Majesty must be waiting to see Xiangguo. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head with a smile and said, "I am very tired from the wind and dust in my own body. At this moment, it is quite disrespectful to see the driver, so it is better for the prime minister to decide to see His Majesty later. What I want to do most at this moment is to go back to my house and take a hot shower, change into clean clothes and refresh myself. ”

Wei Jiansu frowned and said, "But ......"

Wang Yuan frowned and waved his hand: "It's nothing, I've been reunited with my family for almost a year, and it's only been a few days since I reunited, so can't I come back and go back to my house to rest for a while?" If anyone is dissatisfied with this, I will ask him to come before me and say yes. ”

Wei Jiansu was stunned, and the officials around him didn't dare to speak out. Wang Xiangguo's words mean something, who would be dissatisfied with this? It was not his own people who were waiting to see Wang Yuan, only His Majesty was waiting to see him. Wang Xiangguo's words were obviously for His Majesty to hear.

"Okay, Xiang Guo is tired of traveling and driving, so it is also appropriate to go back home to meet his family after a rest. By the way, I and other colleagues have discussed, and I will prepare a thin wine in Zhang Yilou tonight, and I want to wash the dust for Xiangguo. Please also come to Xiangguo to enjoy the light. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "Do you want to wash the dust?" I received my wishes, but I didn't have to. The harsh winter is coming, and the upper and lower materials are scarce, and they all need to be thrifty. As officials, we must set an example at this moment, and we must not be extravagant and wasteful. You must know that a banquet is converted into rice and a feast for hundreds of people. Wei Zuoxiang, let's be careful with our calculations. ”

Wei Jiansu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lesson of Xiangguo is that the lower officials are not thoughtful. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "That's it, I need to talk to you about these things later, and there are still many things that need to be discussed with you and your colleagues." Now, I don't have the heart to talk about it. Colleagues, farewell, and we'll see you later. ”

The officials bowed down and bowed their hands, and said one after another: "Wang Xiangguo is easy to go, and the lower officials and others will send Xiangguo off." ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand, Zhao Qing led the horses, Wang Yuan and all the guards got on their horses one after another, the horsewhips crackled, and hundreds of horses galloped away along the long street, and disappeared after a while. The officials gave up their hands on the spot, and when the backs of Wang Yuan and the others disappeared, they all withdrew their gazes. Everyone's hearts were worried. Wang Xiangguo didn't even see His Majesty when he returned to Chengdu, but he directly replied to reunite with his family, which was obviously about to make trouble. Although he knew from the beginning that there would be some disputes when Wang Yuan came back this time, he didn't expect Wang Xiangguo to enter the city without a cup of tea, and all this began. If Your Majesty learns that Wang Yuan has gone straight back to the house, I am afraid that he will blow his beard angrily and stare at him. I really don't know what to do.

"It's such a big shelf, I can't even see Your Majesty, what does this Wang Yuan think of himself? Isn't it possible that His Majesty should go to his house to see him in person? One person said coldly.

The officials were taken aback, and following the prestige, it turned out that it was Li Mao who spoke.

"Your Royal Highness King Shou, don't talk like that. Wang Xiangguo, he ......," Wei Jiansu said busily.

"What? Am I wrong? This Wang Yuan is too undignified. His father was still waiting for him to meet him in the Sanhua Building, and he went away like this. You people, or are you not my officials in Datang? Wang Yuan is like this, and none of you has the words to dissuade him. The food you eat is my Tang Dynasty's Yulu, and it is my Tang Dynasty's errand, not his Wang Yuan's. Li Mao shouted coldly.

The officials looked at each other, and everyone didn't want to argue with Li Mao. This Li Mao seems to have changed as a person since he came to Chengdu, and Li Mao used to have a cowardly personality, but now he is a little arrogant and domineering. Everyone knows that the current Li Mao is deeply favored by His Majesty, and it is very likely that he is the candidate for the crown prince in the future, so no one wants to offend him.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, this is inappropriate." A deep voice rang out.

The officials were stunned, who is so ignorant, at this time to reason with King Shou, isn't this to provoke Li Mao to be crooked for a long time? When I looked at it again, I found that it was Yan Zhenqing who spoke. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, this Yan Zhenqing seemed to be unable to figure out the way, and rashly spoke to mix in it, which inevitably seemed a little reckless, and King Shou would definitely have a reprimand.

Sure enough, Li Mao glared at Yan Zhenqing and said, "Yan Taishou, is what this king said wrong?" Do you think Wang Xiangguo's behavior is appropriate? ”

Yan Zhenqing arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness King Shou, and whether it is appropriate to not turn Wang Xiangguo's move, but in the face of a hero who has done his best for the birth and death of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Shou's words just now are extremely inappropriate." As we all know, Wang Xiangguo is my meritorious minister of the Tang Dynasty. Putting aside the merits of Pingnanzhao's crusade against Tubo for the time being, just in this year or so, my Tang Dynasty has undergone drastic changes, and Wang Xiangguo has almost single-handedly turned the tide to protect my Tang Dynasty, which can be described as a mainstay of the general figure. Ma Weipo took over the invasion of Shu and led the army to defeat Shi Siming's large-scale attack of more than 100,000 troops, and forcibly stabilized the situation. After that, he led a large army to Chang'an and recovered a large part of the lost territory. In the two months before this, he personally led thousands of cavalry to raid behind enemy lines, rescuing tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Pingyuan City and other places. Fought bloodily with more than 100,000 rebel pursuers. For such a person who has done his best for the Tang Dynasty, how can you say such things, Your Highness? Doesn't spreading it make the world's teeth cold? ”

The officials nodded secretly, although Wang Yuan was a little unpopular with some of his behaviors, it had to be said that it was this person's rescue that gave the Tang Dynasty a foothold and a turning point for the counteroffensive. These credits are immortal and cannot be erased by all. Yan Zhenqing's words were not exaggerated, and he was telling the truth. However, although everyone thought so in their hearts, no one dared to echo it at this time, and no one wanted to set themselves on fire.

"It seems that you, Yan Zhenqing, have thrown yourself into Wang Xiangguo's five bodies, but don't forget, you are an official of my Tang Dynasty, and you must be loyal to Your Majesty and not others. No matter how great Wang Yuan's credit is, he is also my minister of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how great his credit is, it is also his duty as a minister. Is it because of merit that you can despise Your Majesty and ignore the system? Li Mao said loudly.

Yan Zhenqing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the lower official has to refute you." There is no truth to your words. Yes, Wang Xiangguo and I are both ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and it is our duty to serve the Tang Dynasty loyally. But please don't forget that courtiers also have dignity, and courtiers are not slaves. According to His Royal Highness, Wei Zheng had a lot of disrespect for Emperor Taizong back then, and Emperor Taizong didn't have thousands of reasons to kill him. But what is the truth? Emperor Taizong not only did not blame Wei Zheng, but called him a retort and called him a lesson for himself. What a magnanimity and open-mindedness. It is precisely because I have a Ming monarch like Emperor Taizong in the Tang Dynasty that I have a hundred years of prosperity in the Tang Dynasty. Monarchs and ministers are harmonious and respect each other, so that they can work together to create a prosperous world. ”

Li Mao said loudly and angrily: "Yan Zhenqing, you are so bold, do you mean that His Majesty has no bearing and mind today?" ”

Yan Zhenqing said coldly: "This has nothing to do with Your Majesty today, those words just now came out of your mouth, not Your Majesty's words." The words that come out of King Shou's mouth don't represent His Majesty. If Your Majesty hears what you just said, I am afraid that he will also rebuke you. Your Highness's words just now are not considered, and I hope Your Highness can retract what you just said. ”

Li Mao's face turned red angrily, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Yan Zhenqing, you are so bold." As soon as you came to Chengdu, you began to accuse the king that he was not here. ”

Yan Zhenqing said lightly: "The lower officials are not talented, and they want to follow Wei Zheng." However, His Highness should respect his identity and be cautious in his words and deeds. His Royal Highness is the son of His Majesty, and his words and deeds represent the image of the royal family, and His Royal Highness cannot respect himself, and he will be ashamed of the royal family. ”

The officials were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect this Yan Zhenqing to be really a hard bone, and he didn't flinch in the face of Li Mao's aggressiveness, his words were like knives, his words were thorny, and he didn't compromise at all.

"Okay, okay, I kind of understand, you have Wang Yuan in your heart but not Your Majesty. Yan Zhenqing, do you think that since Wang Yuan has worked so hard and made great achievements, my father should go to his mansion to meet him? Isn't it true that our Li family should be grateful to him? Li Mao Tie exclaimed with a blushing face.

Yan Zhenqing said in a deep voice: "If Your Majesty is willing to visit Wang Yuan in person, it is not impossible. ”

"What?" All the officials were stunned, was Yan Zhenqing confused, how could he say such a thing? Confused?

"Yan Zhenqing, you are so bold." Li Mao shouted angrily.

Yan Zhenqing said in a deep voice: "Zhou Gong spit and feed, and the world returns to the heart." If Your Majesty can really visit Wang Yuan in person, not only will it not cause criticism, but it will let the people of the world see Your Majesty's holy deeds. Your Highness, if Your Majesty does this, not only will you not be able to stop it, but you will have to praise the drummers. The Holy Monarch and the Sage would never be furious because the courtiers did not come to see him in the first place, and the lower officials did not believe that His Majesty would be angry because of this. However, Your Highness, when you said those words in front of the ministers, it was obviously inconsiderate and suspected of provoking right and wrong. His Royal Highness once again asked His Highness to be cautious in his words and deeds. ”

The ministers applauded in their hearts, Yan Zhenqing's words were appropriate, and what he said was a dignified and upright truth. Under such a great reason, if His Majesty went to visit Wang Yuan in person, it would indeed be a beautiful talk. It's just that Yan Zhenqing seems to have a bad impression of Li Mao, so he counts Li Mao in public, isn't he making trouble for himself?

"Okay, okay, I don't know why, His Royal Highness and Yan Taishou have their own reasons, and this matter is not a big deal. Wang Xiangguo just went back to rest for a while, and he didn't neglect the audience. Although there is some disagreement in etiquette, it is not a big deal, and His Majesty will not blame it. That's the end of the matter, don't argue any further. In broad daylight, it would be indecent to stand on the street and say these things. Yan Taishou, please come with me, I will take you to the pavilion to change clothes and bathe to see Your Majesty. Wei Jiansu finally came out to play a round, in Wei Jiansu's opinion, the winner of this debate has been decided, in order to prevent Yan Zhenqing from further saying things that stimulate Li Mao, he plans to take Yan Zhenqing away first.

Yan Zhenqing arched his hand and said: "There is Lao Wei Zuoxiang." ”

Wei saw that Su pulled Yan Zhenqing and walked to his car on the side of the road, but Li Mao was obviously unwilling to be taken away by Yan Zhenqing like this, and shouted loudly in the rear: "Yan Zhenqing, you just said that I should be cautious in my words and deeds, is that a warning to this king?" Did Wang Xiangguo tell you to talk like that? ”

Yan Zhenqing stopped and turned around, looked at Li Mao and let out a long sigh.

"Your Highness, that's just my Yan Zhenqing's advice to you, Your Highness, you are also a person who reads poetry and books, why don't you understand the meaning of my words."

"I understand what you mean, but I ask you, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like that?" Li Mao shouted with his chest straight.

"Your Highness, if you ask me that, I can't answer you. His Royal Highness is the prince, and his words and deeds represent the royal family, and even His Majesty. Xia Guan just asks you to take into account your identity and the current overall situation in every word. Yan Zhenqing sighed.

"Hmph, I know what my identity is, and you also need to know what your identity is. Don't think that if you hug your thighs, you can run amok. This is the king's advice to you. This king tells you that you, Yan Zhenqing, want to be Wei Zheng, but you are not qualified enough. ”

Yan Zhenqing was stunned for a long time and let out a long sigh.

"Yan Taishou, let's go, don't say it. How about giving me a thin noodle? Wei Jiansu frowned and said in a low voice.

Yan Zhenqing nodded and said, "That's it, just when what I said just now was a fart." Wei Zuoxiang, I'm tired. ”

Wei Jiansu took Yan Zhenqing's hand and hurriedly got into the car, the groom whipped him, and the carriage moved slowly and headed east along the street.

……

Nancheng Hengjie, in front of Wang Yuan's mansion. The wives and concubines of the Wang family have already gathered in front of the house and are waiting for them. A few days ago, Wang Yuan sent someone to send back a letter, informing everyone of the news that he was going back to Chengdu, and everyone in the Wang family suddenly exploded.

During this time, after Wang Yuan left with Gongsun Lan, Li Xin'er, A Luo and others, there were many fewer people in the family all of a sudden, and it seemed to have become a lot more deserted all of a sudden. Only Gao Moyan and Lan Xinhui were left in the back house. These two people don't particularly like to be lively, although the long-legged beauty likes to debate with others, but in the face of a quiet and indifferent woman like Lan Xinhui, there is no spark between the two at all.

On weekdays, when the two come together, they are also silently facing each other, each doing their own thing. Lan Xinhui likes to do things like to embroider some women's red and some handkerchiefs and flowers and birds, and Gao Moyan just reads books and plays the piano, and the days are long and boring. If it weren't for the three children making noise in the back house, so that there was still some noise in the back house, the entire palace back house would be almost silent.

Of course, news about Wang Yuan has been coming in a steady stream, and these news are all brought back from the front line by soldiers and horses transporting grain and grass. However, the arrival of these news did not relieve the pain of lovesickness at all, but made the two women often sad to each other. Because they got the news that Wang Yuan led thousands of soldiers and horses to rush behind enemy lines to rescue, everyone understood what a risky thing it was. The two women often looked at the three bouncing children in front of them with smiles on their faces, but they complained in their hearts. Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan, even if you don't care about the feelings of your wives and concubines, don't you want to think about these three children? If there are three long and two short, then how can it be good.

Autumn is getting stronger, and the feeling of worrying about the stomach is getting stronger and stronger. Fortunately, not long after, I got the news that Wang Yuan broke through three cities in a row and rescued tens of thousands of people, and in the heated discussion of the people in the city, the mood of the two girls slowly became clear.

Wang Yuan: They crossed the river safely.

Wang Yuan: They were on their way back to Chang'an.

Wang Yuan is going back to Chengdu with everyone.

Wang Yuan: They have arrived in Tongzhou.

Wang Yuan: They have arrived in Lizhou.

Meeting with Lan Xinhui every day, the two women share these latest news. Although both of them tried to stay calm, they didn't want to appear too eager. But they both saw the excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes. When the beloved returned from an expedition, how could the women and children in the family not be overjoyed. Especially Gao Moyan, Wang Yuan led the army to the expedition soon after he was newly married, although he was generous, but he was actually quite aggrieved in his heart. I crushed the incense pillow at night and cried many times. Now that it's finally time to meet again, how can it not be as 'shining' as Lan Xinhui's quipping words.

"They'll be there in the afternoon." This is the last news about Wang Yuan's itinerary shared by Lan Xinhui and Gao Moyan when they met in the morning. After that, the two disappeared together. It wasn't until noon that the two met in the flower hall. When they saw each other, they were surprised at first, and then the two women covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and pointed at each other and smiled. It turned out that both of them found that each other was dressed up, swept Emei, wiped bead powder, and applied. Wearing his most satisfactory clothes, inserting his best tidying, dressed like a bride who is newly married and wants to go to a sedan chair. Both of them spent the morning hiding in their rooms and asking the maidservants to help them get dressed. They all have to welcome their husbands' return with the best makeup and demeanor.

In front of the palace, dozens of people were waiting in front of the door, all with anticipation. Soon after, the little guy at the intersection turned around and ran, shouting, "Come on, come on, here."
