The autumn water view is built on a small hill on the side of the Qujiang pond, adjacent to the water on three sides, and is named after the autumn water chapter that preserves a whole set of carved on the red sandalwood in the view.

The female Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are not as wealthy as most of them are from wealthy families, this is just a very ordinary Taoist temple, when dusk just fell, Zhang Huan rode a horse to the door of the Taoist temple.

"I'm afraid the donor is mistaken, we don't have the female Taoist priest you said here, the most recent one came the year before last, and there are no newcomers."

The door of the Taoist temple was opened by a black and thin old Taoist aunt in her sixties, she lowered her eyelids, coldly rejected Zhang Huan's question, and reached out to pull the door bolt to close the door.

Zhang Huan leaned against the door and said again: "It was Zhang Shangshu who asked me to come here, and you told her that it was her eighteenth lang who came." ”

Hearing the words 'Zhang Shangshu', the old Daogu's face softened a little, she raised her eyelids, looked at Zhang Huan with a needle-like gaze, and still slammed the door! The ground shut, and the footsteps faded away.

Qiushuiguan is located in a pine forest, the surroundings are very quiet, the breeze is blowing, there is a rustling sound, Zhang Huan is pacing back and forth in the pine forest, a little nervous in his heart, he has not seen his mother for two years, I don't know if I can see it today.

After about a quarter of an hour, there was finally a sound of footsteps inside the gate, and the door 'creaked' open, revealing the cold and dark face of the old Taoist aunt, "Haven't you left yet?" ”

Zhang Huan shook his head, and the old Daogu's dark and thin face suddenly showed a smile, "Since you don't want to leave, then you can come in!" ”

．．．．．．．．

The Taoist temple is full of dense trees, thick shade, and grapevines climb all over the corridor, although it is the time of the great heat, but the night breeze is cool, making people feel as if they are in a cool world.

In the courtyard, there were three or four miscellaneous Dao aunts who looked coldly at Zhang Huan who passed by, they were stout and powerful, like men.

"You keep walking, and when you enter the small courtyard in front, you can see the person you are looking for."

The old Dao Gu glanced at Zhang Huan, and added: "The man can't stay here for a long time, I'll give you a quarter of an hour, and then leave." ”

Zhang Huan took a deep breath and strode into the small courtyard, which was spotless, with pods, vegetable furrows, and bamboo curtains, and the layout was as quiet as before.

In the corner of the courtyard, a middle-aged Taoist aunt is gently sweeping a few leaves that have been knocked down by the rain, although she is dressed in a coarse sermon dress, but her skin is fair, her temperament is elegant, the years have worn away her beautiful appearance, but the charm of her gestures is enough to make every woman eclipsed in front of her.

She is Zhang Huan's mother, Chu Banglan, the eldest daughter of the Chu family.

Zhang Huan looked at his mother blankly, but his mother, who had not seen him for several years, suddenly appeared in front of him at the most unexpected moment, he slowly knelt down, prostrated in front of his mother, and shouted in a low voice, 'Mother! Tears could no longer be held back.

"Huan'er, my mother knows everything about you."

Chu Banglan stepped forward slowly, she gently touched her son's head, her voice was soft and full of pity, the former little baby finally grew into a tall and strong man, who was already able to contribute to the country, Chu Banglan's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, "Although you didn't get into the Jinshi, what you did made my mother even more pleased." ”

As she spoke, she gently helped her son up, wiped the tears from his face, and said with a smile: "Silly child, I rarely see you cry when you are young, how can you grow up but sentimental, so my mother doesn't like it." ”

"Mother, the child is going to buy his own house, which is enough for his mother to retreat, and then ask his mother to move over! Let the children serve you. ”

Chu Banglan shook his head with a smile, "Huan'er, haven't you figured out why Zhang Shangshu hid his mother here?" ”

Zhang Huan suddenly fell silent, he had already realized that his mother was going to reveal a little secret of his life to him.

Sure enough, Chu Banglan sighed softly, she walked under the pod shed with a heavy heart, picked up the small scissors to prune the bean branches, and hesitated again and again before whispering: "Huan'er, I didn't want to tell you, but if I don't let you know a little, my mother is worried that you will take a detour in the future, and my mother tells you that you are actually not from the Zhang family." ”

Chu Banglan said, she glanced at Zhang Huan from the corner of her eye, and saw him standing there standing still, not affected by his words in the slightest, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart, "Huan'er, what do you know?" ”

Zhang Huan took out the letter from his arms and raised it above his head, "Mother, Chu Xingshui has already looked for the child twice." ”

Chu Banglan slowly took the letter in Zhang Huan's hand, she looked at the letter cover, and an extremely complex feeling suddenly burst out of her eyes, anger, resentment and mixed with a trace of nostalgia, but this feeling only existed for a short moment, and suddenly disappeared from her eyes, and then turned into an ice-like indifference, she didn't look at the letter inside at all, but slowly tore the letter into pieces, let go of her hand, and let the wind blow them away.

After a long time, she calmly said to Zhang Huan: "Huan'er, my mother has nothing to do with the Chu family, my mother only hopes that you will be a man who stands up to the sky, how far your heart goes, then go as far as you want....."

At the last moment when the city gate was closed, Zhang Huan entered Chang'an, and the people of Chang'an were full of people enjoying the shade on Zhuque Street, and as the gate was about to close, many people began to pack up their mats and prepare to go home, but there were also many people who still sat around the mats, with bedding and food, and it seemed that they were ready to spend the night here.

A half-full moon radiated a bright light in the sky, and there was not a single cloud in the sky, like a small white boat drifting in the endless sea.

The horse walked leisurely, and Zhang Huan's thoughts were still immersed in his mother's last words, 'How far your heart is, then you can go as .....far as you want'

His eyes gradually brightened, and his mother's words made him seem to open a new door in front of his eyes, in which there was an incomparably vast sky, and his heart suddenly opened up, and those light and heavy sorrows, the burdens that had gradually accumulated on his heart in the past, fame, and family, now all flew away.

Zhang Huan suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, whipped the horse heavily, and the war horse galloped, gradually disappearing into the thick night.

．．．．．．．．

The night was very late, and what happened today was destined to be impossible for many people, and Cui Yuan was one of them, wearing a loose Zen robe, sitting alone in his small courtyard and pondering.

This afternoon, the emperor suddenly issued an edict approving him Cui Yuan to continue to serve as the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, although this edict is only a recognition of the fait accompli, but it is an edict to the world, so that his succession to the right minister has become legal and reasonable.

But Cui Yuan made a hint hidden behind it, Li wanted to make peace with himself, so that he could also recognize the benefits he had achieved, the 80,000 troops of Anbei and the newly established Tianqi Battalion.

Cui Yuan walked back and forth in a path with his hands behind his back, many years ago he set his career goal, and the power of the Tang Dynasty will one day no longer be shared by the seven great families, but by his Cui family, the dynasty will dominate the dynasty.

For ten years, he has been building the foundation for this goal, and today his successor as the right minister has finally landed, as if the cultivator has survived a catastrophe, and from today on, he will work hard to achieve this goal.

Maybe it will take another decade, maybe it will only take a short year or two, but whether it is ten years or a year or two, the first thing he has to do is to find an entry point.

And he has already set this entry point, it is the Zhang family in Hedong, and the supply of the 80,000 troops of the Li family is also borne by the Zhang family, if the Zhang family can be taken, then the neck of the Li family will be stuck by himself.

This is a chain of links and links, solve the Zhang family, and the rest of the matter will be solved, at this moment, Cui Yuan made a judgment, temporarily agreed to make peace with the Li family, and concentrated on dealing with the Zhang family.

Cui Yuan quickly wrote a letter, summoned a confidant and instructed: "You go to Pingyang County quickly and give this letter to Zhang Ruojin." ”
