Zhao Ziliang returned to his home outside the city from the palace, and he closed the door to thank guests, except for a few close protégés and former subordinates, the others were nowhere to be seen, and even Chen Xuanli, who has now become the general of Longwu, and Zang Xiyan, the general of the Zuojian Gate, and others came to the door in person, and he sent people to block them out.

Within two days, Zhao Ziliang heard that Xuanzong had issued an edict to amnesty the world on his 60th birthday last year, and Gai Jiayun, who had been locked up in the prison, was also pardoned.

In fact, Gai Jiayun didn't have much affection for Zhao Ziliang, that is, when he was in Anxi, he saw a little mention of Fu Meng Lingcha's face, but Zhao Ziliang was obviously not that kind of snob, how to say that the two also had some friendship back then.

Gai Jiayun has changed a lot in the past few years when he was imprisoned in the prison, and people in their fifties look like they are in their seventies, with all white hair and beard, and the old wrinkles on their faces can hold mosquito legs, and the whole person is skinny.

Gai Jiayun now lives in a rented small courtyard, there are three families in the small courtyard, all of them are tenants, since Gai Jiayun was defeated by Tubo because of negligence in defense in Hexi, he was arrested and imprisoned in the prison by Xuanzong's order, originally to be beheaded, but Xuanzong Nian was not easy for him to be in Anxi for many years, quite meritorious, so he did not kill him, just put him in the prison, this pass is several years, his family in order to rescue him, sold all the family property to the ministers of the court to give gifts, hoping that they can speak in front of Xuanzong as a good word, However, all this is in vain, many ministers in the court have collected money but do not do anything, or have contributed but the effect is not good, all in all, the money of the Gai family has been wasted, and his two sons have also been implicated because of him, not only the official position is not guaranteed, but also almost lost their lives, the huge Gai family has already dismissed the maids, and there are only a few members of the family left, the men work for people for short-term work, and the women sew and mend for people, so they rely on these to maintain the livelihood of the family, Xuanzong did not degrade his whole family to the bitter cold land of the frontier as slaves.

Gai Jiayun was very happy to see Zhao Ziliang come to visit with gifts, that old tear is out of control, the world says that people go to tea and cool, not to mention that he used to be guilty, in the past, relatives, friends, and subordinate colleagues in the army were afraid to avoid him, where would they dare to get involved with him? For so many years, only Zhao Ziliang came to see him, and in the years when he was locked up in prison, Zhao Ziliang also went to see him twice when he returned to Beijing.

Gai Jiayun, who was already very old, sat face to face with a two-year-old grandson and Zhao Ziliang in the courtyard, while the rest of the family and the other two tenants stood and watched from a distance.

"A little coarse tea, and please don't dislike it," Gai Jiayun said calmly with a teacup.

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Where did the big marshal come from, if Ziliang wanted to drink good tea, he wouldn't come here!" I also came back from Mobei two days ago and heard that Dashuai was pardoned by His Majesty last year, so I came to take a look, I didn't expect that Dashuai's family is now in this situation, it is all Ziliang's fault, if I had known the news of Dashuai, I would never have let Dashuai's family live so poor."

Gai Jiayun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Today's old man is already living a very comfortable life, although it is coarse tea and light rice every day, but he has a good time!" Alas, the old man often regrets that if he hadn't been addicted to wine in Hexi, how could he be here! Ziliang, the old man also heard about it, you shouldn't have come today, the old man was originally a guilty person, and now you can't protect yourself, if it is known that you are dealing with the old man, some people in the court are afraid that they will make a big fuss about it! ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Dashuai, if you have to look forward and backward in everything, is it too tiring to live?" Now that the handsome man has no official or position, and I am also unofficial and unpositioned, two ordinary people visit each other normally because of some old feelings in the past, what's wrong? If some people even have to take care of this, then aren't they too lenient? Dashuai, now that the central government is corrupted, and the generals are reused, I am regarded by some as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, this official is not able to continue, I have written to the emperor yesterday, asking for permission to allow me to unload my armor and return to the field, return to the old family, those who regard it as a thorn in my side will definitely do their best to promote this matter, I am afraid that in a few days I will have to say goodbye to Dashuai! ”

Gai Jiayun looked at Zhao Ziliang and sighed: "Alas, you are young, and it is a good time for you to be young and strong and establish a meritorious career, but you were forced to return to your hometown, this is the traitor of the DPRK and China." You are now on the cusp of the storm, and it is better to retreat bravely from the rapids and avoid the limelight, and when the politics of the DPRK and China are clear, it will be too late to come out and do things."

The two didn't have too much boring to say when they met, before leaving, Zhao Ziliang beckoned to Brehan, Brehan stepped forward and took out a golden ticket, Zhao Ziliang took it and put it on the square table and pushed it over and said to Gai Jiayun: "The marshal is in trouble at home now, and this money is nothing compared to the kindness of the marshal to the promotion of the last general, please accept it anyway, and let the last general do his best!" ”

Gai Jiayun wanted to refuse to accept it, but looking at Zhao Ziliang's serious look, he knew that he couldn't shirk it, so it was better to accept it generously, "Okay, the old man has promoted a lot of people in his life, and now in this situation, you Zhao Ziliang still misses the old feelings." When you leave, send someone to say, and the old man will see you off."

"How dare you bother to send the handsome handsome, Ziliang will come over again when he leaves"

Back at home outside the city, the housekeeper Wang Ru greeted him and said: "Hou Ye, Princess Yuzhen sent someone to invite Hou Ye to go to Yuzhen to reminisce about the past tomorrow evening, this is the famous thorn sent by Princess Yuzhen."

"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang borrowed the name thorn and looked at it, "Okay, I know!" By the way, I ordered to go down, don't call me the marquis in the future, I have already written to the saint, asking to cut off the title of the marquis of Zhenbei, and now I am no longer in Mobei Town, what do you want it to do with the title of the marquis of Zhenbei? It's just a laugh! ”

When Wang Ru and the others heard this, their faces were sad, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which was once beautiful and admired by tens of thousands of people, was gone, hey

In the evening of the next day, Zhao Ziliang came to Yuzhen Temple as promised, and Princess Yuzhen actually greeted him at the door, "Ziliang, after many years, don't come unharmed!" ”

Zhao Ziliang arched his hand and said: "I am tired of the Taoist chief, and the son is very good!" ”

Princess Yuzhen nodded, stretched out her hand sideways: "It's snowing outside, let's go in and say, please!" ”

"Dao Chief, please!"

The two walked side by side towards the Guannei, and Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Look at the Taoist Chief's appearance has not changed over the years, but has become more radiant, I don't know if there is any secret technique for rejuvenating the face?" If there is, please also ask the Taoist chief to teach one or two, so that I can take it back to please my lady! ”

Princess Yuzhen smiled: "There is no secret technique, but there are some experiences, if Mrs. Ruozun does not dislike it, I will copy a copy for Ziliang to bring back!" ”

In order to make themselves age slower and their faces more radiant, the palace concubines below were ordered to study the secret art of rejuvenation, and the concubines in the palace were not short of money, some had time and money to study, and there was no shortage of experimenters.

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly thanked: "So, Ziliang thank you a lot!" ”

Walking into the hall, Zhao Ziliang saw that there were two positions on the main seat opposite, one of which was sitting Yang Yuhuan, but he didn't expect her to be here, Zhao Ziliang hurriedly went over to salute: "Ziliang to meet the concubine!" ”

Yang Yuhuan saw Zhao Ziliang treating her with this attitude, and was very displeased: "Zhao Ziliang, you are not right, today I am wearing civilian clothes, but I am not here as a concubine, if you are respectful to me, I will leave now!" After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, count me wrong, then how can I call you now?" You're no longer a Taoist! If I call you by your name and the official knows, do I still want this head? ”

Yang Yuhuan frowned when she heard this, this matter is really troublesome, she thought about it, suddenly smiled, and said: "This is easy to do, you can call me Mr. Yang, it shows respect, and the title is ordinary, presumably those officials have nothing to say."

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You're welcome, Mr." ”

In addition to Zhao Ziliang and Yang Yuhuan, there are several literati and artists, including many famous writers and poets, such as the great calligraphers Li Yi and Zhang Xu, as well as the sword dancer Pei Wen. Among them, Zhang Xu is a master of cursive writing, and his cursive writing, Li Bai's poetry and Pei Wen's sword dance are known as the "three uniques" in the world.

After being recommended by Princess Yuzhen, Zhao Ziliang smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Li, who is famous all over the world, is also here!" Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Two of the three absolute ones in the world are here, I don't know why Li Taibai is not here? When Tianbao was in the second year, wasn't he Zhao Hanlin Academy? ”

Li Bai has been in Chang'an for many years, and was recommended by Princess Yuzhen and others, Xuanzong liked his talent and learning very much at first, and let him be a petty official in the Hanlin Academy, to put it bluntly, he was a royal literati, but within a year, he was tired of this kind of royal literati life, Xuanzong sent people to summon him, he often pretended to be drunk and did not go to the court, and drafted an edict while drunk, deliberately let Gao Lishi take off his boots, causing many people around Xuanzong to dislike him and slander in front of Xuanzong, so Xuanzong began to alienate him, and later he resigned and went to Luoyang.

Listening to Zhao Ziliang ask about Li Bai's situation, Princess Yuzhen sighed: "Alas, Taibai's temperament is too free, he is not used to the life of the Hanlin Academy, and he is jealous of Gao Lishi and others, so Tianbao resigned when he was three years old, and recently received a letter from him, saying that he met two very talented young people in Qilu, one is called Du Fu, and the other is called Gao Shi, the three of them are like-minded and have a good conversation, and Li Beihai (Li Yi) also saw them some time ago."

"Du Fu and Gao Shi? I've also heard of these two people, and they're quite talented! Zhao Ziliang heard the names of Du Fu and Gao Shi, where he didn't know who these two were, there were many poets in the Tang Dynasty, but there were not many who were famous in later generations, but Du Fu was called a poet saint, Gao Shi's reputation was not much different, and he was a well-known figure among the poets of the Tang Dynasty.
