There are not many things to be busy with when there are no nobles visiting, but they are very trivial. The courtyard must be cleaned, the garden must be maintained, and the birds and animals must be served. Li Luoyun didn't know how His Majesty the Emperor gave the order, and no one consulted him. After breakfast, Luo Yun was stuffed with a wooden shovel.

"The feces in the deer yard and the kennel should be cleaned up and sent to the east house of the flower garden to be fertilized."

"Oh, good."

After the command with his nostrils facing the sky, the person who came squinted at the thin Li Luoyun, sneered in his heart, swept the sword hanging on his waist, frowned, and shouted: "Who do you think you are?" How to work with a knife hanging on your waist! I'll keep it for you! As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed his sword.

Li Luoyun was holding a wooden shovel in his hand, and he waved his hand to move the shovel handle sideways to block it. Without waiting for the other side to scold, Li Luoyun said quickly: "I'm sorry! This sword was given by the emperor and asked me to take it home. If I don't go back, this sword won't leave me for a day! This is Your Majesty's will! If you want to keep it for me, you can, go and let Your Majesty give the order!" Otherwise, it will be difficult to obey your fate. ”

"You!"

"A word of advice!" Li Luoyun held the wooden shovel in his hand, and glanced at the miscellaneous servants who slowly surrounded him, the atmosphere was delicate, and where was there still a happy person who had just eaten venison. He raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty asked me to be a handyman, and I will do it." If there is any work you arrange, I will do it. But you wait ......" Li Luoyun pointed to everyone and said calmly and firmly: "Delusional want to bully me to gain benefits? I advise you not to overestimate yourself. If you want to move me, you must first figure out my details. ”

After speaking, ignoring the provocateurs in front of him, Li Luoyun took the wooden shovel and walked away in high spirits, and the surrounding handymen looked at each other and silently got out of the way. Li Luoyun walked out of the crowd, suddenly stood and looked back at everyone, and said coldly: "I just came here yesterday and saw the two tigers raised in the West Inner Garden, which are too thin. I don't know if I can get more meat for them to eat in the inner garden these days. ”

Everyone shuddered at the back of their spine, and they all shivered. Look at the thin young man again, but he left without looking back. Lin Yuan's shadows were mottled, and no one could see the cold sweat behind Li Luoyun's back, and his nervous and rapid breathing. Li Luoyun flashed into the woods, and when he looked back, he couldn't see anyone anymore, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down with his back against a big tree, his heart beating hard. "At least, it scared them for the time being." Lowering his head and muttering to himself, he felt a hot and humid scrape on the back of his hand, and looked up to see Xiao You, who didn't know when it had arrived.

One person and one tiger looked at each other, and Xiao You tilted his head and rubbed between Luo Yun's arms. Luo Yun smiled and opened his arms to hug Xiao You's big head, gently stroked the fur around his neck, and touched his two ends, feeling the warmth of Xiao You's body, Luo Yun closed his eyes and whispered, "I was really a little scared just now...... I couldn't believe that I suddenly said that......" Xiao Youyu muttered as if in response, Luo Yun hummed, and said quietly: "I want to go back to Yunshan......"

Xiao Yu broke away from his embrace and bowed his head to look at Luo Yun. Luo Yun looked at Xiao You and shook his head: "I've come this far, and now I can't get rid of the trouble when I flee back to Yunshan." What's more, grandfather and uncle have all come to the capital......"

With a helpless sigh, Li Luoyun thought of the red figure, suddenly chuckled, and said self-deprecatingly: "I don't know what she will think when she sees my current appearance, probably she will turn her head and walk away with disdain." Li Luoyun suddenly found that he couldn't remember the voice of the red clothes, and instead remembered that he had actually said a handful of things to the red clothes face to face. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh again, my own pretentiousness seemed really stupid to others. I'm afraid that even if I confess to the emperor and tell the truth, the emperor won't believe that he has tossed so many things for that childish reason.

"Xiao You, did you see the ancestor when you returned to Yunshan?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, and his front paws pulled twice on the ground. Li Luoyun nodded: "Bai Yang Yuanwu is taking care of it, and Yunshan will not be able to make trouble." The roasted meat in the morning was a little dry, Luo Yun coughed dryly, reached out and took off the green jade gourd from under Xiao You's neck, opened it and drank two sips. Stuffed with the gourd, Li Luoyun frowned and looked up at the sky, muttering to himself: "Why do I seem to feel the breath of the ancestor, so as not to alarm its old man?" ”

Xiao You lay on the ground, his head resting on Luo Yun's lap, Luo Yun looked at the sky and thought for a while, he had no clue, he reached out to scratch Xiao You's ears, and said to himself: "It's been a little strange these two days...... I dreamed last night and I seemed to dream a lot...... Something before. Xiao You, did I ignore something? ”

Xiao Yu rolled over and lay on the ground on his side carefree, not caring at all that it was in the palace surrounded by danger at the moment, not Yunshan, where it sat on the ground and claimed the king. Li Luoyun smiled dotingly and rubbed Xiao You's belly. The birds in the forest whispered, and there were a few monkey chirpings in the distance, and it seemed that he had really returned to Yunshan at this moment. When Li Luoyun heard those monkey screams, the expression on his face suddenly froze, and the movements in his hands stopped. Xiao You opened his eyes and looked at Luo Yun, only to hear Luo Yun whisper in a complicated tone: "I remembered, I dreamed of them last night, and I almost forgot them." Bai Yang Yuanwu ...... Yonghe has grown up......"

Li Luoyun's voice gradually became inaudible, only Xiao You could see the flickering light and shadow in his eyes, and the light in his eyes was the same as the indifference and severity when he first saw Yonghe in front of the Yuanwu Cave Mansion, which was not the majesty of Luo Yun's life, but it was a catastrophe that he could not escape in this life. Xiao Yu closed his eyes in fear, and after a long time, the hand on his belly began to move softly again. Xiao Yu opened his eyes, saw the soft gaze, and sighed in a low voice. Luo Yun patted Xiao You's big head and said with a smile: "It's time to go, the calamity is not over, it's time to go to work." ”

Getting up and carrying the wooden shovel, Li Luoyun thought about it and carried the Fire Phoenix Sword behind his back, so that it was convenient to move. A man and a tiger walked through the forest, and Luo Yun's heartless words came from time to time.

"Xiao You, can you let those deer send their feces to the flower garden by themselves?"

"I'm not asking you to bite them all ......"

"And the dogs, what if they bite me?"

"How do you know how to eat, do you know how many dogs there are! Can't you just order them not to pee in the kennel? ”

"Hey, you're going to be able to bully those two tigers......"

"I don't know if Zhenyue and Dahu have become ...... blind date."

Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, and his face did not change color, which is a kind of realm that a hero can achieve. Li Luoyun is just a young man in the mountains, and he can't reach that realm, so he can only barely be in danger, pretending to be calm, laughing and playing to distract himself and forget his fear for a while. In this Chang'an City, in the deep palace, what can you rely on behind yourself? Is it from the Li family? Is it a red whisk? Is it Xiao Yu? Or do you want to find the ancestor to stand behind you?

In the face of a powerful empire, in the face of the emperor, personal strength is just a mayfly shaking a tree, and he does not measure himself.

However, some people feel that the imperial court, the emperor's ministers, is nothing more than that. The big sleeves are fluttering, and the four or two dial a thousand pounds. Iron teeth and copper teeth, black and white chaos. With his own ingenuity, he ran among the ministers, impassioned in front of people, and pushed by the family behind him. A small case of trouble and wounding made the clan leaders of all parties believe that this was a spark that ignited the nobles of the sect. Let the loyal ministers believe that this is another act of the emperor who is willful and reckless, ignoring the law.

Wei Shenming's expression was solemn, and he knelt outside the hall with his head bowed respectfully. He was not yet qualified to go to the main hall to participate in the deliberations, and he listened to the sound of quarrels coming from the hall, and listened to the various voices that were full of energy, or categorical, or plain and resolute. Listening to the imperial doctor, as well as Wei Shizhong's unyielding reprimands. Wei Shenming's head hung lower, so as to hide the irrepressible smugness at the corner of his mouth. A complaint and a few provocative words set off such a storm in the court. This kind of exhilarating feeling of swaying the wind and clouds is comparable to when the Chinese of the banquet in the restaurant used to fly and the art overwhelmed everyone. Vertical and horizontal, swaying power, this is the proud thing of being a man!

The center of the chest is surging, but in the eyes of outsiders, this cousin of Wei Guifei, Wei Youcheng's nephew, has always sat humbly and respectfully, motionless, not saying anything else, just this respectful salute made the imperial history on duty, and the eunuchs nodded in appreciation. It is worthy of being the queen of the family.

The quarrels, or debates, and exhortations in the main hall have come to an end. Li Erlang's brows were furrowed from beginning to end, and his face was full of frost. It's a pity that the ministers under him are not like those eunuchs and slaves who look at their faces. Especially Wei Zheng! The darker the emperor's face, the more energetic he spoke!

"Enough! I didn't interrogate a teenager who was fighting and making trouble, that is, I didn't indulge in selfishness, and I didn't torture him indiscriminately! How can it be said that you are abolishing the law and tyrannical! Li Erlang pointed at Wei Zheng's face and shouted angrily, and without waiting for him to open his mouth to refute again, he turned his finger and pointed at Du Lun and scolded: "A few veterans are grateful to the old master, and they go to the spirit to mourn, and the Duke of the Kingdom treats each other with courtesy, you tell me where there is a violation of the etiquette law!" And the military department! Li Erlang suddenly got up and glared at a group of ministers kneeling on the left side, and asked in a cold voice: "The military situation is urgent, you can knock on the palace door at night!" Wei Guogong's military intelligence report arrived yesterday, why did it only come up today! If you miss the front-line war, are you itching your neck? ”

"The minister is guilty." The secretary of the military department and the squire of the military department all leaned over and pleaded guilty and did not defend themselves. Whether it was intentional or not, the crime of delaying the military plane must really be investigated by the emperor, and the dismissal of the official position will be light. However, all the ministers knew in their hearts that the military department was just angry. Otherwise, if a document is presented to make the emperor happy, how can the emperor care whether the document arrived last night or this morning. It's a pity that today's small flaw was caught by the emperor, and he had a posture of investigating to the end.

The ministers naturally wanted to plead, and Wei Zheng also changed the topic and turned a few words to defend the military department. In fact, the emperor and his ministers knew that this was just a means to divert attention. But what Li Erlang didn't know was that this problem in the military department was given to him by the ministers. With such a fanfare to investigate the delay in the military situation, then the issue of the reward that should have been exchanged for this good news was deliberately ignored in this way. However, even after such a silent yin against Wei Guogong, the ministers still did not intend to let go of Li Luoyun's matter.

Sure enough, in the end, the argument was over, and the officers of the military department were just punished for a month. Without waiting for Li Erlang to sit down again, the imperial doctor held a board in his hand and said loudly: "The minister impeached Chang'an County Commander Miao Zhengzhi!" The decision to impeach him is stagnant, and he ignores the seizure, and the ministry has no way to do it, and the guard is failing. These four are the least reached, the Beijing City Division is chaotic, and the people are in turmoil. Therefore, it was difficult for the minister to fill the post of prefectural commander of Gyeonggi County. Please depose your majesty from his official position, and then elect a meritocracy, and stabilize the place. ”

Li Erlang frowned and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji. The eldest grandson Wuji received the emperor's eyes, stretched his sleeves and said: "The examination class in the second half of the year has not yet begun, and the doctor has already moved out of the twenty-seventh to review the Gyeonggi subordinate officials. The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, and nodded to the stiff-faced Imperial Doctor, his tone seemed sincere, but then he turned around and continued: "However, if this official remembers correctly, weren't the subordinate officials of the two counties of Chang'an Wannian who were dismissed and dismissed because of the four least reached what the doctor said?" Oh, the official forgot, and I have to add the two articles of 'homework is not enough, and the cashier is unknown.'" These six most came out together, and the two county magistrates, county officials, chief officers, recorders, and county lieutenants were dismissed...... The governors of the two counties of Gyeonggi were swept away, and the county government can be said to have come to a complete standstill. The matter involved the important land of Gyeonggi, and the officials tried their best to select a diligent and promising official to serve as Gyeonggi, so that the tragedy of the year of the famine of the past year would not reappear. Now Wannian County has not yet taken office. The new Chang'an County will be impeached again, Your Majesty, this is the fault of the minister. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji pretended to bow over and kowtow to confess, Li Erlang took in the expressions of the ministers, the smile on the corner of his mouth flashed, and asked in a deep voice: "How long has the new Chang'an County been in office?" ”

Without waiting for others to speak, the eldest grandson Wuji got up and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, it has been one month since I took office." ”

"It's only been a month, are all the subordinate officials ready?"

"Not yet, only the recorder and the county lieutenant are in office at the moment."

"Why haven't you all the subordinate officials been allocated?"

"There were some disputes over the selection of personnel, and the ministers were doing their best to select capable officials to fill Gyeonggi. Hence ......"

"It's only been a month since he took office, and the subordinate officials are not uniform, how did the Yushitai judge that he was not qualified to serve as the director?" Li Erlang looked up at the Imperial Doctor, and his tone was indifferent, expressing his attitude.

The imperial historian was not afraid to look back at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you can know that although Chang'an County has not been in office for a long time, but in this month, the city department is still restless, and even the restaurant has been smashed, the door of the workshop is closed, the people are in turmoil, and rumors are spreading. And in the county office under his personal control, there was also an unheard-of stupid thing such as bandits escaping from prison, and the cell was broken and no one found out! Just ask the chief official of the county government where he works to make trouble, how to manage the Gyeonggi important land! ”

Li Erlang silently understood that they were still going to Li Luoyun, but they made a fuss about a small Chang'an County order. But they shouldn't know the internal reason, why did they hold on to Li Luoyun's matter? "What do you have to say about this?"

"The merits have their own opinions. The minister was speechless to justify it, since the imperial historian was convincing, it was better to let Chang'an County explain it himself. If it is really as the doctor said, please ask Your Majesty to give the minister the crime of selecting unknown talents and recommending improperly. "Although the eldest grandson Wuji is young but sleek and sophisticated, as soon as he finds out what the other party is pointing at, he immediately brushes himself off, and at the same time gives the emperor a color: wait and see what happens.

Since I don't know why these people caught Li Luoyun's matter, it is better to watch them quietly first, only when they know the other party's purpose, can they arrange troops and fight-for-tat. The court strife is like the battlefield battle. Words are like knives, leaving no traces when you see blood.

At the same time, Hongfu took Cheng Zhijie, who came with him inexplicably, to Qingyunguan to visit Sun Simiao. Turning a blind eye to the overt and dark staring gazes outside the gate. The red breeze stood in front of the door, knocked on the door and handed the post, and waited with his eyebrows. Cheng Zhijie realized that he was not embarrassed to follow him, and he wanted to go, but he couldn't help but be curious, and rode on the horse, wandering endlessly. Until the Taoist boy opened the door and bowed to answer.

"Daochang Sun is not here? Did you go to the palace? ”

"The Taoist did not enter the palace today. Instead, he went out of the city early in the morning to collect medicine in Zhongnan Mountain. Before leaving, there was an explanation, and it may be difficult to rush back today. ”

Hongfu pursed his eyebrows and was silent, guessing in his heart whether Sun Daochang was hiding from himself or others. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the long street that suddenly became lively outside the Qingyun Temple, where the incense was cold in the past, and sneered in his heart. The dog's noses of these families are really bright. Just thinking about it, a shadow covered me, and when I looked up, I saw Cheng Zhijie riding on a horse and leaning over and asked, "Sister-in-law, Daochang Sun is not here, where are we going?" ”

Hongfu glared at Cheng Zhijie, turned around and got into the car. The curtain of the car fell, and only then did he hear the voice of the red breeze say: "The people outside Sun Dao's Changfang don't mess with the world, it seems that they don't want to wade into this troubled water." Go home and wait and see. Cheng Zhijie, what should you do, why should you go! Don't follow my aunt and me! ”

Soon after, Miao County Commander was ordered to enter the palace. The gate of the Weiguo Mansion was closed again, and Cheng Zhijie wandered around and changed into official clothes to go to Taiji Palace, and walked to Xuanwu Gate in the name of inspecting the palace defense. On Zhongnan Mountain, a burly and tall white figure stopped Sun Simiao's way into the mountain.

Sun Simiao tried to look up at the face with his back to the sun, but he could only see four jasper gourds of different sizes hanging from his waist. After being silent for a long time, Sun Simiao shook his stiff neck, lowered his head to tidy up his clothes, bowed down and bowed: "Poor Daoist Sun Simiao, I have seen Daoyou, I don't know why Friend stopped Poor Daoist?" ”
