Li Hong believes that there are still many officials in Datang who were the county magistrates two days before the entire Datang statue, and in their subconscious, between the imperial court and the officials they recommend, there will always be a need for the existence of wealthy families as a communication channel.

The court is the court, their benefactors are their benefactors, and between them and the court, there will never be any subordinate relationship, not so much that after they step into the official career, in order to serve the country and benefit the common people in the world, it is better to say that they are a bargaining chip between a wealthy family and the court, and they are a weapon that makes the court look at each other as five surnames and seven hopes.

Therefore, if the imperial court wants to put aside the five surnames and seven wangs, and the wealthy family directly talks to these recommended officials, it must touch the interests of the five surnames and seven wangs, and set aside the status of the five surnames and seven wangs in the hearts of the world's corporal doctors, so that the imperial court can bypass the five surnames and seven wangs and communicate directly, which is obviously the imperial court challenging the fundamental interests of the family.

This is a long-term project, and it is not something that can be achieved easily overnight.

Along the way, in the short distance from Chang'an to Luoyang, it took Li Zhi and Wu Mei nearly two months to reach the station in Luoyang City from Chang'an.

Along the way, except for the four-day delay in the journey because of the encounter with the little tiger cub and its mother, the next time, basically every time less than half a day, Li Zhi would order to stop and camp, so that this trip, in the eyes of Wu Mei and Li Hong, is more like a farewell to life.

As for who to say goodbye to, among all of them, only Li Hong and Wu Mei were extremely keenly aware of the attachment to the mountains and rivers from Li Zhi's heart, as well as the feeling and pride of the wealth of the Tang Dynasty today.

Climbing to the top of the loess highland, looking at the Yellow River like a jade belt, the peasants in the sky and earth in the telescope, or the merchants and people on the pipelines in the distance, all these scenes made Li Zhi stand on a high place from time to time, and he was reluctant to leave for a long time.

Even if the guard of honor for the camp was set up on a high hill, Li Zhi could still look at the distance of the night alone and the stars in the sky overhead.

No one knows why this is, and maybe someone can know that Li Zhi is making his final farewell to the mountains and rivers, in short, often standing alone in the wind, Li Zhi with fluttering clothes when looking into the distance, the lonely back and the weak body that seems to be feathered with the wind give people an inexplicable sense of sadness.

"Maybe your father already has a sense in his heart, looking at his own country, thinking about the people of the world, and caring for the people, I hope that if that day comes, he will have no regrets in his heart." Wu Mei stroked the hair that was blown away by the wind on her sideburns, looked at Li Zhi on the high ground, and said lightly.

"Life is in a hurry, it is difficult to make a hundred years, and in the end it is just a billet of loess, which turns into blissful green smoke in every square inch. Ethereal afterlife, tautology of the previous life. Three lives and three lives are pious and broken, and the six reincarnations are unknown. The nine-fold feather is worldly, and after all, it will not leap between the blue sky and the earth. Life is sometimes as heavy as a mountain, but it is also in the turmoil of enlightenment and sensibility with the wind. For a while, the beauty of the world is all over the place, and the pride is full of joy, but it still can't get out of the world. As long as the father does not feel that there are regrets in this life, the son feels that it is enough. Li Hongchang took a long breath, looked at the old man who was still looking alone on the top of the mountain, and said casually kicking the loess under his feet.

"I thought you would make a poem, but I don't know what you mean by that, it sounds more like an old man who has a greater sense of time and years, and I feel ...... Even if Sun Simiao is still alive, I'm afraid I won't be able to say such a thorough word about life as you. Wu Mei stretched out her arm and asked Li Hong to support her, and the mother and son slowly walked in the direction of Li Zhi.

"The beauty of the mountains, rivers and the earth, how can you see enough in a lifetime. Especially...... This is still the country of our Li family, if you want to see enough of this country, see all the things in the world or the blessings and misfortunes of the people, for the father and emperor who cares about the world, the time is too little, if ...... Maybe there is an afterlife, but I hope that my father will not be entangled in the mundane affairs of the court and government affairs, and can have a down-to-earth glimpse of my Tang Dynasty. Holding Wu Mei, who has also begun to become a little trembling, and her legs and feet are no longer as agile as before, Li Hong said with a rare seriousness.

"So, do you know what your father can't let go of the most? The country is like this, the royal family is like this, your father's favorite over the years is ....... ”

"Erchen needs time, and if the five surnames and seven hopes are not completely fallen, they are hundred-legged insects, and sooner or later they will have a backlash." Li Hong helped Wu Mei up the stairs, looked ahead and said.

Wu Mei sighed helplessly, Li Zhi's thoughts in the court over the years have not occupied a percent, and the rest is the longing and reluctance to the sixth child, but now the Tang Dynasty is now the saint Li Hong, even if Li Zhi wants to pardon Li Xian, it needs to be decided by Li Hong, the emperor, and even the people of the world.

After all, Li Xian was the one who was deposed because he competed with Li Hong for the throne, and now let the current saint pardon him, not only Li Hong, the emperor who is full of words, needs a reasonable excuse, but even if it shows the world, he also needs a reasonable excuse.

"How much more time will it take? Can you control your father's time? ”

"Naturally not, so the son-in-law is hesitating, wanting to let his father have no regrets, and the son-in-law will not be able to ...... the sixth child in the future."

"Right and wrong back then, now in the eyes of your father, or in the eyes of your mother, it is just some light and light clouds, not to mention that it has not affected your way, the food will not die, and the city of Jiling cannot be left alone, but the account of the son of Belus, I and your father and the emperor completely agree to put it on Li Xian's ......head."

"Is this a reason to give Li Xian a reason to withdraw from Jiling City and replace it with someone else to take over Jiling City? If so, then how is Li Xian's merits in Anxi calculated? But is it enough to restore his identity? Or will someone use Li Xian as a gimmick, so that Li Xian can become the right-hand man of his sons like Li Zhe and Li Dan? Li Hong and Wu Mei stood not far behind Li Zhi, and then continued to say firmly: "Pardon is okay, but ...... I need to keep filial piety for my father for three years, and I can't go anywhere! ”

"What about three years from now?"

"With the queen mother here, what else can I do?" Li Hong didn't go forward, but watched Wu Mei go straight to Li Zhi.

Just like the last time Li Hong and Li Zhi had a separate conversation, it was often when it was time to decide, and Li Hong and them would invariably stop further discussions, and put the problems that should have been solved in implicit once again, or perhaps, on Li Hong's filial piety and face, and stop at the point.

"Time is really fast, in a blink of an eye to Luoyang, I never thought that looking at Luoyang City from the outside, it was so beautiful, looking at those bustling crowds, the green smoke in the farmhouse, people really want to just keep looking, keep seeing...... Until you can't move. Li Zhi turned around and walked to Li Hong with the help of Wu Mei.

"Find a painter to draw it for you and hang it in your palace in Luoyang, so you can see it every day. But then again, watching from a distance, it is just a city-state, and integrating into it is just like the Yellow River, so that you can truly experience the prosperity and peace of the Tang Dynasty, so the father and son think that to feel the different beauty of the country and the mountains, it is more appropriate to enter it. ”

"Horizontally, it is a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height is different from far and near. I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. This is when I traveled to Lushan with your mother, the poem you made, according to the meaning of your poem, should jump out and see, right? Li Zhi began to go down with Wu Mei, but someone, who was the emperor and a filial son, was arranged in the middle by the two, Wu Mei on the left, Li Zhi on the right, the two of them respectively supported Li Hong's arm, and the three of them walked down slowly.

"Mountains need to be seen from afar, rivers need to be seen from afar, people need to be close friends, and things need to be listened to. Therefore, looking at the mountains and rivers can stay out of it, but seeing people and seeing nature is to go deep into the three thousand prosperous places to achieve. Li Hong shrugged helplessly, making excuses for the poems he had done in the past two years.

"I don't want to hear those bad things about you, this trip to Luoyang, I have already understood in my heart, even if the country is magnificent and the people are healthy, but it can't withstand the regrets in my heart."

"Give me a little time, son...... Erchen has already passed on the book. Li Hong felt the force from Li Zhi's arm on the right, which was obviously not as easy as the queen mother on the left, and it could even be said that Li Zhi at this moment even put half of his weight on Li Hong's arm in order to walk down these steps freely.

This made Li Hong feel sour in his heart, feeling the only regret or expectation in the heart of the old man who had entered the last years of his life, and he really couldn't make Li Zhi really regret it in his life.

"Okay, with your words, my father will be satisfied, and my father will not ask even a single sentence about Luoyang's affairs." Li Zhi looked at Li Hong, who was supporting him and Wu Mei in the middle, and said in a somewhat relaxed tone.

Such a conversation along the way, for Li Zhe, Li Dan, Shangguan Wan'er, Wen Rou and the two princesses at the foot of the mountain, are already strange, although among several people, they have not been keenly aware of why Li Hong and Li Zhi and Wu Mei are like this, but the three of them leave them aside from time to time, and then walk alone and talk to themselves, it is already a complete habit.

Nostalgia once again glanced at the scenery behind him, Li Zhi finally decided to set off for Luoyang, the speed of the horse-drawn train was still the same as usual, the tall and mighty horses pulled the car in front, and the two sides were the central army and the royal imperial guard of honor, the nine carriages were like starting from Chang'an, slowly crossing the moat, and then under the greeting of the Luoyang city guards and hundreds of officials, slowly drove into the so-called station in Luoyang.

"Luoyang Mansion Yin and the others are gone, I'm tired, I'm going back to the palace directly, you can send them away." Li Zhi looked at the hundreds of officials outside the car window, as well as the huge guard of honor, I don't know why, after nearly two months of travel, my heart is more and more disgusted with these things in officialdom, and I like to stay quietly alone, letting my thoughts fly aimlessly.
