Although Du Shiyi has handed over the books to Yuwenrong, the matter of checking the escape can only be regarded as a temporary end, and there are still a lot of bits and pieces of various affairs. And Guo Quan took a reassuring pill, so he was relieved to recuperate, and Wei Zheng was also very tolerant of him for ten thousand years, and did not report his vacancy due to illness. His tenure of office as a 10,000-year lieutenant was about to expire at the end of the year, and although the remaining 10,000-year lieutenants were not only dissatisfied with him, but also gave the credit to Du Shiyi, they didn't want to fall into the trap when he only had two or three months left in office, so he had to turn a blind eye to this.

At the end of September, the inventory of fugitives in Jingzhao Mansion finally came to an end, and Yu Wenrong's jīng power was naturally placed on the rest of the prefectures and counties, and Du Shiyi, who had been busy for most of the month, finally ushered in his leisure again. In the past few months, he has presided over the Wannian County Examination and the Jingzhao Mansion Examination, plus temporarily sorted out and checked the books of the escaped households for Guo Quan, etc., and he can be regarded as a rare busy person in the Wannian County Party.

According to the usual situation, a lieutenant like him only needs to work half a day and a month, and there are other kinds of holidays every month, and he is more generous than an official of the same rank, which is a beautiful official who is sent. After all, among the various official offices in the Tang Dynasty, the higher the official position, the more idle they are, and the ones who really do things are the out-of-school officials who are grassroots civil servants.

These people are much more diligent than officials in order to be able to wear official robes

Therefore, when Du Shiyi was busy before, although the scribes Wenshan and An Hai were also busy with each other, they were all happy. Especially when Du Shiyi and Guo Quan, who finally recovered from a little illness, exchanged positions again, and then when they were officials in the Wannian County Party in the Gongcao Examination, they gave them both a rating, both of them were grateful to Dai De, and they had long forgotten that when they were originally transferred to follow Du Shiyi, they were reluctant. And the tenure is almost only a few days left, and it is the beginning of a serious illness, Guo Quan spends more time looking for a suitable house in Chang'an City, and does not care so much about the evaluation.

"I really can't imagine that the famous name of King Shuofang is completely planted this time because he said the wrong word, Guo Zhiyun actually let him suffer such a loss"

Listening to the singers singing in the wine shop, watching the dancers dance, this has always been one of the most common pastimes in the Tang Dynasty, in such a small wine shop on the second floor of the window seat, the two young people talk about the next seat and those market anecdotes, prices and goods and other things are different, but first-class news. Pei Ning, who was sitting on the east side, tasted the good wine that the shop boasted that it was Jiannan Roast Chūn with an expressionless face, and then shook his head after frowning slightly.

"There's nothing surprising about this, although the king of Shuofang is a handsome man, he thinks too highly of himself, and he doesn't know how many people he has offended. However, I heard that I had just returned to Yao Kaifu in the eastern capital at the beginning of the month, and suddenly fell seriously ill, and there were already doctors from the Imperial Medical Department who rushed over by order. If Pei Zuocheng is not mistaken, it is a foregone conclusion that Zhang Zuocheng will enter the court to worship the prime minister. ”

Du Shiyi knew that there were many people in the Pei family who were officials in the court, and now Pei Huang was the most prominent, and Pei Ning's brother Pei Kuan also had a bright future, and he was naturally well-informed. Thinking that now that Yuan Qianyao has resumed his refusal to listen to Zhang Jiazhen's rush to kill in front of him, he couldn't help but say thoughtfully: "If Zhang Yuanjun enters the court, I am afraid that there will never be a tripartite check and balance in the political hall, but a dragon fighting against the tiger, and the yellow bird will be watching from the wall." ”

"If you know, it's good." Pei Ning's face showed a rare smile, and he said lightly, "If you follow Yuan Qianyao, you won't suffer." Although the good old man can't lean into the opposition, he won't easily fall and fight."

"Song Kaifu ......"

Before Du Shiyi's words were finished, Pei Ning interrupted him and said, "I know that Song Kaifu is noble, and he is also the person whom Lu Shi respects the most. But when I left the thatched hall, Lu Shi also said that rigidity is easy to break, but the saint may not like him when he uses him, and if the situation is not necessary, he will inevitably continue to hide. The senior brother said more explicitly, Song Kaifu is not young, and it may not be known whether it can support the day when he pays homage again. It is naturally a good thing for you to have a relationship with Song Kaifu, but if you want to push his comeback as a phase, then you don't have to think about it, since the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty to the present, who is the phase is the sole luck of the sacred heart. ”

Li Longji's skills in employing people over the years are indeed rarely used to make mistakes, but once he makes a mistake, he will immediately stop and calm down the anger of the people, which is also perfect

Although they are all school scholars, the secretary provincial school scholar can be called the most noble school scholar in the past, but now it is different from before, the Son of Heaven spent most of the time in the Daming Palace, and the secretary province in the Taiji Palace is more equivalent to the royal outer library, and the Jixian Hall as the inner library is more prominent.

Du Shiyi knew that it was not yet possible to obtain the ordinary Jinshi yù to ask for a school scholar, and Pei Ning immediately awarded this official after the Ming Sutra, which was really an outlier among the odd numbers. When he heard the third senior brother mention in a flat tone that Li Longji had come to Jixian Hall to select books, and asked him and another school scholar to help by the side, and asked about Lu Hong during the conversation, he suddenly thought that the previous time this emperor had asked him if he was willing to persuade Lu Hong to go out of the mountain, he suddenly sat up a little nervously.

"Don't worry, I'm not you, I don't have such a big reputation, and the saint doesn't know that I am also a disciple of Lumen, so naturally he won't ask me about such a thing." Pei Ning seemed to know Du Shiyi's worries, smiled and chewed a chopstick rice peel carefully, and then said after a while, "Besides, my colleague is afraid that I will be brilliant and flexible and witty, so I will be happy to pretend to be stupid." You are already the target of everyone, why should I be in the limelight again and let more people worry about Master Lu? ”

"Third Senior Brother......

Du Shiyi thought that the Pei family should also have high hopes for Pei Ning, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, so he heard a sneer behind him: "Princess Gu'an? A little concubine, now she dares to connive at people competing with people in the West Market? I really thought I flew on the branches to be a phoenix."

Although I don't know how this topic was provoked, when I heard it, Du Shiyi's heart was so big that he couldn't even care about the fact that it was difficult for him and Pei Ning to meet, so he gestured at the third senior brother and pricked up his ears to listen. Sure enough, the hot topic seemed to attract the curiosity of the other people at the table behind him, and several people immediately asked.

"Dude, is this true?"

"This can't be nonsense, although Princess Gu'an is not a real golden branch and jade leaf, but now she has also canonized the princess......"

"What kind of noble daughter of the clan" And the person who spoke at the beginning seemed to borrow wine to strengthen his courage, and after sneering, he didn't care about it, and then he said, "What Princess Gu'an, that's just the daughter of a partial concubine, and the genealogy selection on the fake name, according to her humble status, where will it be her turn to go to Hefan?" If it weren't for the fight in the West Market today, the manager of the Lantian County Lord's family shouted again, and I happened to hear it next to me, and I wouldn't believe that there was such a strange thing."

"No, what a crime that is, besides, Princess Gu'an and Fan were just a woman in the inner house before, if it was just her, how could she impersonate the princess to marry

"Isn't it because the Youzhou Army had suffered a big loss at the hands of the Xi clan before, and then the Xi clan just surrendered to the interior, which clan noblewoman is willing to marry in that kind of place where you might lose your life? The county lord of Lantian was worried about the country, but unfortunately there was no daughter-in-law of the right age at home, so he had to send her away. Who knows that she was canonized and married to Xidi after she was ungrateful, don't say the festival every year, even the greetings are rare, and now she dares to let the subordinates and her grandmother compete with each other to take charge of things, saying that the county lord has been sick several times for this white-eyed wolf, as long as the county lord corrects her identity, she may not be a princess anymore."

"That's right, I heard that Qi Steward is the most useful person in front of the Lord of Lantian County."

"The Xin family has always been the lord of Lantian County, and he is the ...... to speak"

Du Shiyi remembered that it was Chibi who took Princess Gu'an and the servants to the West Market to check the storefront, and at first he only frowned slightly, but at this moment he couldn't help but be angry. However, the first few people seemed to have already discussed and stopped, and after dropping the money, they went straight away. It was only then that he let out a long breath and raised his glass to drink, the spicy wine in his throat, but it made him more sober.

At this time, Pei Ning asked in a low voice: "These people are just criticizing Princess Gu'an, but it doesn't seem like they are really talking casually, but they seem to be spreading it on purpose." I remember that when you were in King Xi's tooth tent last year, you once made contributions to quelling the civil strife from Princess Gu'an. Why, looking at you like this, what do they say that you also know? ”

Knowing that Pei Ning's eyes were as sharp as a torch, Du Shiyi nodded, and concisely talked about how she met Princess Gu'an on the road, and talked all the way to Zuihou and her ability to turn the tide in danger. At the end, he said softly: "How could she be willing to marry a dangerous place like Xidi back then? The Xin family sold her daughter for their own glory, and now when they see her honor, they feel unbearable, it's just ......"

couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a while, Du Shiyi was stuck, and at this time, Pei Ning sneered and said: "It is not surprising that there are many people who are so despicable and shameless to sell women for glory and are insatiable." If you don't say it, I almost forgot, I also heard such a rumor in the Jixian Palace, saying that Princess Gu'an was not from the county lord of Lantian County, and there was no clan blood on her body, but the statement was not so explicit. ”

"Third Senior Brother has heard such rumors a long time ago?" Du Shiyi's heart tightened, and he asked a few questions, seeing Pei Ning shaking his head and saying that he had never paid much attention to these things in other people's houses, and only occasionally heard a few words, he couldn't help frowning, and he actually sat down and hugged his fists and said deeply to Pei Ning, "Third senior brother, I won't tell you, I have formed an indissoluble bond because of our mutual assistance in the same boat, Princess Gu'an and I ...... Also teamed up to do something. Even if it weren't for this, I definitely couldn't watch her make contributions as a woman, but she was slandered and slandered, if there is any more news, please let the third senior brother know me."

said to a person like Pei Ning that he had recognized his sister and brother with Princess Gu'an in private, and he might not have been reprimanded by him, so Du Shiyi concealed this section. Sure enough, Pei Ning stared at him for a long time, and finally sighed deeply and said, "Got it." It's just that it involves the clan, which is extraordinary, and you are waiting for my news. As for those two noble lords who have a close relationship with you, you might as well make a message to prepare in advance. If this matter doesn't make a big fuss, it's just that, if it makes a big fuss, I'm afraid it won't end well."
