The next day, Li Mao, as the assassin of Liaocheng Prefecture and the envoy of Liaodong Economic Strategy, petitioned the imperial court to move the Liaocheng Prefecture office to Dengzhou and remotely control the affairs of Liaodong across the sea.

Liaocheng Prefecture Thorn History and Liaodong Economic Strategy Envoy were originally concurrently served by Youzhou Lulongjun Jiedu Envoy or Yingzhou Thorn History, and it was the first time that they were set up separately, and there was no definite number of places to set up.

When Li Mao's recital was transferred to Wang Shuwen's hand, Wang Shuwen smiled coldly and said secretly: This is an understanding person. He drafted a text to connect Bohai and Silla with Liaodong, and asked the imperial court to add Li Mao to envoy twice.

Edict.

The imperial court requisitioned Li Shidao into the court as a member of the water department, which was undoubtedly reused, but Li Shidao refused to obey the edict, saying that the festival made Li Shigu suffer from foot disease, and asked him to act as an agent for military affairs, unable to leave Ziqing.

An edict actually led to such a result, which made Wang Shuwen overjoyed, which proves that the internal brotherly struggle in Ziqing has entered the surface, which is obviously an opportunity.

Wang Shuwen's qualifications are too shallow, so he can only manipulate government affairs behind the scenes as a living house and a bachelor of Hanlin, and he can't be the prime minister, so he pushed Wei Zhiyi, who he knew well, to the phase, as his Olympic aid in the court.

Wei Zhiyi's biggest official before was only a minister, and he had actual combat experience, but he was far from being an old man.

The other four prime ministers who worked with him, Jia Tan, Du You, Zheng Xunyu, and Gao Ying, were all highly respected and deeply rooted, and it remains to be seen how much of a role he, the prime minister, can play under the Zhongshu sect.

Hearing that Li Mao was going to leave Beijing, the five prime ministers under the Zhongshu Sect collectively interviewed Li Mao, and the talks were all about official affairs.

Wei Zhiyi had some personal matters to explain to Li Mao, so he chased him out when Li Mao came out of Zhongshu Province, stood under a lilac tree that had just sprouted new sprouts, and said to Li Mao: "I have two sons and nephews, and I pray that Li Mao will take them to Liaodong for training." ”

Li Mao said: "The bitter cold land of Liaodong is not as good as the capital, and the prime minister wants to take care of his nephew, why should he be like this." ”

Wei Zhiyi said with a smile: "'The blade of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. I remember that these four lines of poetry are Maohua's masterpieces, how about it, just give Wei this thin noodles. ”

Li Maotui had no choice but to take it, these two people were Wei Zhiyi's cousins, one was named Wei Xiangcheng and the other was Wei Guanhai. They are all scholars who have not completed their studies, and when they first saw Li Mao, they were a little restrained, but after they became familiar with it a little, their demeanor became public. Talking, talking,

Li Mao was disgusted in his heart, but he was helpless.

Li Mao always thought that when he left Beijing this time, Li Chun would meet him, but he couldn't wait for a long time.

These days, for the convenience of office work, Li Mao moved back to Zheng Zhuzhu's house in Pingkangfang. Since he has made up his mind, there is no other obstacle in his heart, but he has leisure during the day, so he takes Xiaoru, Qingmo and Zheng Zhuzhu's two daughters around to play in the mountains and rivers.

The city of Chang'an, at first glance is rough, and then look magnificent, mellow in taste, when you first enter the city, a majesty is pressed in your heart, so that people suddenly feel their own insignificance, and they will slowly peek out of their benefits after living for a long time.

The advantage of Chang'an is that it is a place where the four seas converge, bringing together the top people, money, logistics and information of Datang.

Li Mao has completely fallen in love with this city, and the thought of leaving soon, he can't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

One day from Zhongnan Mountain returned, Li Mao took advantage of the wine to go to his newly purchased mansion in Jing'anfang, this house is not big, but it is exquisite, the original owner is an old official, lived here for more than 20 years, a year ago, ready to move back to his hometown to live, this will live in more than ten years of the house shot.

More than 20 palace ladies living in the courtyard of Sanjin seemed a little crowded, and Li Mao was a little worried, but there was nothing he could do.

When I returned to Zheng Zhuzhu's house, I saw Chen Shu sitting in the front hall drinking tea, chatting with Zheng Zhuzhu. Seeing Li Mao come back, Zheng Zhuzhu did not leave as usual, but said to Li Mao with a smile: "An old neighbor wants to protect one of your sisters, I am afraid that you will be angry, so I asked Secretary Chen to come over and say something, he was afraid of your majesty and didn't dare to speak, so I had to say it cheekily." ”

Since the words began, Chen Shu no longer concealed anything, he helped Wu Yuanheng, who lived in the imperial history of Jing'anfang, to come to the matchmaker, Wu Yuanheng rode home one day, passed by in front of Li Mao's new mansion, and saw three flowery women snuggling at the door and laughing, and he took a fancy to one at a glance, and only after inquiring about it did he prepare a generous gift to ask.

Li Mao said: "If Wu Zhongcheng keeps himself as a concubine, I can't agree." How can my sister be a concubine? ”

Zheng Zhuzhu said: "It's not a concubine, it's one of his students, named Zhang Pi." ”

Li Mao said to Chen Shu: "Even so, you must also ask the girl's family if she is willing, and you must not embarrass her." ”

Chen Shu replied yes. There is something to ask Wu Yuanheng in the concert hall, Wu Yuanheng is an official and upright, and the right road is not passable, so he starts from the people around him in a roundabout way, Chen Shu heard that Zhang Pi took a fancy to a servant girl adopted by Li Mao, so he came to the door to ask for help.

Li Mao had also done similar things, so he didn't want to say anything, but Chen Shu was a little uneasy, and praised Zhang Pi for his good character and true love.

At the same time, Li Mao was Lin Ying's cousin, and at the same time, he also wrote to Yunzhou, recommending Chen Shu as the knowledge library of the Shangju Academy, and the secretary of the school to supervise the school.

Chen Shu's luck is very good, after Li Yu ascended the throne, while giving amnesty to the world, the world's ministers were promoted to a level, and various test officials selected the outstanding ones to become regulars, Wei Zhiyi, who had been in charge of the ministry, knew that Chen Shu was Li Mao's person, so he hooked a big pen and gave Chen Shu a face before leaving the ministry. Chen Shu turned positive ahead of schedule, and now he is the school secretary of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Mao built the Liaodong Economic Strategy Mansion in Chang'an, he wanted to hire Chen Shu as the secretary, but he needed to leave a reliable person in the Jinju Academy as his eyes and ears.

Chen Shu is now a person in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he is a loyal supporter of Li Mao in the Jinjuan Academy.

Ziqing sent people to help the crown prince Li Yu ascend the throne and become the emperor, and the new son of heaven repaid Li, and issued a decree to seal the festival to make Li Shigu serve at the same time, and issued an edict to transfer Li Shidao, the assassin of Mizhou, to enter Beijing to work as a member of the Ministry of Labor, although they are all favors, but the severity is different, which is undoubtedly a strong support for Li Shigu who fell into a ruling crisis due to illness.

The imperial court has already made its attitude clear, and Li Shidao has also made its attitude clear, openly admitting that the brothers are not in harmony, but the next step is to see what the court does. In this case, Li Mao's situation has become delicate.

Li Jing and Lin Ying are not pedantic people, brothers are infighting, the outcome is unknown, betting on both ends is undoubtedly a wise choice, so at the moment, most of the secrets that Li Jing can hear and hear, there will be a copy in front of Li Mao, and the bridge between the two is Chen Shu.

Chen Shu began to report the daily news of the capital as before:

"Xichuan Jiedu envoy Wei Gao sent Liu Pi, deputy envoy of the branch, to meet Wang Shuwen and ask to lead Dongchuan and Shannan simultaneously."

Li Mao smiled and said, "This is Wei Gao asking for interest." ”

Chen Shu said: "Wang Shuwen didn't agree, Liu Bi brushed his sleeves and left. Before leaving, he scolded and said, 'You have a kind, you wait and see'. ”

Li Mao said: "Wei Gao has been in Shu for 20 years, and has built Chengdu into an independent kingdom that cannot be blown by the wind and splashed by water. (Dissertation College)
