Li Mi went downstairs, but Li Zaixing did not move. He quietly savored Li Mi's words, and felt a strange emotion, different from the flamboyant confidence he felt after he arrived in Datang, Li Mi's mood was very heavy, and he seemed to have taken on too much, so that he was not confident and full of pessimism about the future.

Was it the scholar's concern for the country, or did he believe in the prophecy that the world would soon be in turmoil?

Li Zaixing and Li Mi talked about their views on the future several times, and based on the experience of his previous life, he believed that An Lushan would be opposed, and the world would soon be in chaos, and the Tang Dynasty would also decline from prosperity to decline. But Li Mi disagreed. He acknowledged that An Lushan was an unstable factor, but he did not believe that An Lushan had the ability to rebel or even shake the world. One hundred and thirty-three years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although there are many problems, on the whole, it is still a prosperous era, the people's hearts are stable, and not many people will follow An Lushan to rebel. What's more, An Lushan is still a Hu person, where does the appeal come from?

In the final analysis, although Datang has always advocated the "Han and Hu family", it is just that the ruling class says for the sake of peace, ordinary people can't control so much, and they still have a sense of superiority in China. Marrying relatives with Shandong surnames is a manifestation of this sense of superiority, because the royal family has Hu blood, so that Princess Shang is not an honor, but a burden. Ordinary people do not have such capital, but it does not prevent them from looking down on the Hu people.

It is a new thing for the Tang people to marry a Hu Ji as a makeup, but it is not allowed for a Hu person to marry a Tang person as a concubine, even if the Hu people are a high-ranking envoy stationed in Chang'an, they can only marry the Tang people as concubines, and they are not allowed to bring them back to their own countries.

In such a state of mind, Li Zaixing said that An Lushan, a bastard from Yalang, would rebel, and even shake the world, not to mention that Li Bi didn't believe it, almost everyone didn't believe it, just as Li Zaixing was alarmist, or pretended to be shocking and grandstanding.

Including Li Zaixing himself, after only a few days in Chang'an, he gradually felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

So, where does Li's psychological pressure come from?

Li Zaixing felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He saw the conservative shadow of later generations of scholars from Li Mi, and he also found this feeling in Du Fu, who thought that Du Fu was so pessimistic because of his difficult life and disappointment in his career, so he didn't care. But Li Mi doesn't have such a problem, although he has not yet entered the office, but he has a bright future, how can he also have this kind of thought?

Some people say that the Tang Dynasty is the era of Chinese civilization from openness to conservatism, to be specific, that is, before and after the Anshi Rebellion, some people even say that it was the defeat of the Battle of Talas that thwarted the ambition of the Tang Dynasty to expand its territory, and since then it has moved from openness to introverted, and it has been formally formed in the Song Dynasty.

However, the Battle of Talas has not yet happened, and the Anshi Rebellion has not appeared, and it may not even appear, Li Zaixing has already seen this emotion from Du Fu and Li Mi, which inevitably surprised him.

As a military man, he was very disgusted by this sentiment and was especially wary.

He stood on the bell tower for a long time, thought about it for a long time, and his mood became inexplicably heavy.

……

After the ceremony on the eighth day of the second lunar month was successfully held, the Bodhi Temple was quiet for a few days. The warrior monks were led by Xie Guanglong and Wudao in normal training, and Li Zaixing occasionally went to see them, taught them some new tricks, checked their training results, and lived a very leisurely life. In addition to privately teaching the introductory pile skills of Enlightenment Bajiquan, he is accompanying Al Maidi.

With him and Julia's careful care, Al Maddie's leg injury recovered quickly, which may also have something to do with her physique. As a combat-savvy Nakacao people, Al Maddie lives up to her guardian angel's name at all, and her recovery speed is amazing. By the third day, she was able to walk against the wall.

Seeing that Al Maidi's injury was recovering smoothly, Li Zaixing once again took Mitra to Wan'an Temple. Wang Ji is dead, there are some follow-up things to do, find a suitable opportunity to show Mitra to the Son of Heaven, make up for the last flaw, and confirm the crime of Wang Jie's false accusation, which is one of them.

Li Zaixing also has a special purpose, he wants to ask Wang Xun's wife Li who he is more like. This is the only clue about his background at present, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he must hold on tightly.

When I came to Wan'an Temple, Wang Xun's family was gathering together to discuss. In addition to Wang Xun and his wife, there are also his brother Wang Qian and his wife. Wang Qian is the eldest son of Princess Yongmu, and like his parents, he is an honest and almost useless person. Of course, it's not that he's really useless, he actually has the talent to learn, and now he is preparing himself with a thousand cows in the shade, and he is subordinate to the forbidden army system, but it is the Nanya Forbidden Army, which is actually an excellent and idle errand, and in terms of future, it is not as good as Li Zaixing's Long Wuwei.

After saluting, Wang Xun led Li Zaixing to the side courtyard and said with a smile: "Brother Li, I have to thank you for it, if you hadn't killed Wang Jie's father and son, our mother and son don't know how much humiliation they would have suffered." ”

"Alas, it was they who killed themselves, and God destroyed them with my hands. Eleven Lang doesn't have to take it to heart. If I want to say thank you, I should thank you, if it wasn't for the princess's appeal, I wouldn't have come out so quickly. ”

Wang Xun looked at Li Zaixing with a smile and shook his head: "Brother, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, it is not our mother and son who really saved you, but someone else." ”

"Who?" Li Zaixing pretended to be confused: "Then I have to thank him." ”

"Not only do you have to thank her, but we also have to thank her, if it weren't for her very important position in Your Majesty's heart, not only Brother Li would not be able to escape, but our mother and son would not be able to get out."

"Who is it?"

"Of course it's the concubine." Wang Xun smiled: "When you came, we were discussing how to organize a good banquet and send it to the palace to express our hearts to the concubine." ”

Li Zaixing then understood why when he came in, the mother and son of the Wang family all had serious faces, as if they were discussing something important, it turned out that they were sending food to Yang Guifei. Such a simple thing, as for such a grand ceremony?

Seeing Li Zaixing's disapproving look, Wang Xun shook his head: "It seems that Brother Li hasn't been out of the workshop for the past two days, and he doesn't know much about things outside." ”

Hearing Wang Xun's words, Li Zaixing didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly asked Wang Xun to say something. After listening, he realized that something really happened outside in the past two days.

When Yang Guifei returned to the palace, the Son of Heaven was greatly relieved, and his love for her went to the next level, to the point where she couldn't leave. After getting the news, the princes and nobles moved when they heard the news, and on the grounds that the concubine and the lady went home to live and the diet was not good, they competed to offer delicious food, hoping to make the concubine make up for her body, and if they were satisfied, they would be rewarded by the Son of Heaven if they praised it in front of the Son of Heaven.

Because there were too many people offering delicacies, it was impossible for Yang Guifei to taste them one by one, so the Son of Heaven arranged a eunuch to be the inspection and eating envoy, who was specifically responsible for tasting these delicacies, and only those unique delicacies could be sent to Yang Guifei.

Of course, Princess Yongmu is no exception, not to mention that she herself knows that she owes Yang Guifei a favor. If it weren't for Yang Guifei saying that Wang Ji harassed her, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven would not let Li Zaixing go so easily, and their family would also be in trouble. It's just that what to offer is a big problem. Yang Guifei is not an ordinary person, there are no good things in the palace, and it is not so easy to get a compliment from her. If you don't have enough features, you can't even pass the assessment of the school eating and drinking.

This is what the mother and son of the Wang family are worried about. They have been working on it for two days and have not yet found a suitable solution.

Li Zaixing was really shocked, in order to make Yang Guifei happy, the princes and nobles wanted to be so humble and flattering? Speaking of which, I also owe Yang Guifei a favor, if it weren't for her kind words in front of the Son of Heaven, not only would it be difficult for him to come out alive, but it would probably be impossible for him to be the official position of the halberd under the nine grades.

"The Yang family is really powerful now."

"Of course, it goes without saying." Wang Xun laughed helplessly: "I'm afraid it may not be a good thing." ”

"How so?"

"Prosperity must decline, and things must be reversed, this is common sense." Wang Xun said two perfunctory sentences, refused to elaborate, and changed the topic: "Brother Li is here today, is there anything else besides thanks?" ”

Li Zaixing was silent for a moment, and said his intentions, hoping to talk to Wang Xun's wife Li again to see if she could think of anything, so as to help him figure out his life experience. Wang Xun listened, didn't say anything, and immediately turned around and went in. After a short time, he came out again, and said apologetically: "I'm really ashamed, I'm afraid I can't help Brother Li." The insider really can't think of it, I'm afraid it's a mistake for a while. ”

"Did you read it wrong?" Li Zaixing was so disappointed that he didn't say anything for a long time. He was full of hope that Li would give him a hint, even if it was a clue that was not promising. As long as there is hope, people have a head. Now that the only clue was broken again, he suddenly felt empty in his heart, and it was very uncomfortable.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Li Zaixing said listlessly.

"I heard that there are a few orchids around you, and the insiders want to know where they are from and what kind of nonsense they believe." Wang Xun was also a little dazed: "The insiders are going to go to the Zoroastrian Temple in Jinggongfang in a few days, and they want to understand the teachings of the Zoroastrian Sect in advance." ”

Li Zaixing's heart moved, and he hurriedly smiled: "This is a coincidence, the orchids next to me are those who believe in Zoroastrianism, and even their names are the names of the angels of Zoroastrianism." Or is the county lord interested, and I asked her to come to the county lord in case the county lord inquires? ”

"There's no hurry." Wang Xun thought for a moment and said, "I have to sacrifice for the concubine these days, I'm afraid I won't have time to entertain Brother Li." When this time is over, I'll go and consult Brother Li again. ”。
