The person who greeted him with a smile on his face was none other than Li Linfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the third grade of the same Chinese book.

Although the Zhongshu Province belongs to Zhang Jiuling, the Menxia Province belongs to Pei Yaoqing, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is more noble and has no real power, this does not prevent Li Linfu from gaining momentum. At this moment, there are still small officials waiting in the political hall, and after seeing this Xuanhe's prime minister say hello, he actually got up in person to meet him, and they all smacked their tongues, secretly amazed Du Shiyi's thirty people were modest, and it was said that he was deeply favored by the Son of Heaven, and sure enough, even Li Xiangguo had to give face.

Du Shiyi knew very well what kind of person Li Linfu was, he was very energetic in an instant, and said with a smile: "Meet the three prime ministers." ”

Li Linfu walked fast, and he had already helped Du Shiyi up before Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing. The latter two had also gotten up, Zhang Jiuling shouted with a smile, and Pei Yaoqing said in a more familiar tone: "Now in this cold season, I still let you hurry up on the road, but fortunately you are in good health." Look at your dusty body, you shouldn't have returned home yet, right? Come on, send hot soup to ward off the cold! ”

"There is only an old servant guarding the door at home, and since the edict is urgent, I simply came directly." After Du Shiyi explained, he saw that the three prime ministers had returned to their respective positions, and motioned for him to sit, and he calmly sat down in the guest seat. Sure enough, although there was a little official who brought hot soup with his hands and feet, but when it came to business, he only drank two sips, and Zhang Jiuling opened his mouth first.

"Shuofang is just resisting the important town of Beidi, and King Xin'an has been guarding it for many years, and he has worked hard, but this time he moved to Quzhou because of his inappropriate words and deeds, and to be honest, we all sighed for it. Among the generals of Shuofang, although there are also people who have made outstanding achievements and can fight well, but now that the Turks are in civil strife, even if there are soldiers and horses, they are by no means as powerful as when Viga Khan was alive in the past, so Shuofang wants stability, not blindly pursuing military merits. Therefore, Li Xiangguo recommended Junli you, I was a little hesitant at first, but seeing that you are as stable as Mount Tai in Longyou, I finally seconded it. ”

Du Shiyi was stunned when she heard this. It turns out that Li Linfu is a drunkard and does not mean to drink, but what Zhang Jiuling values is that he is not warlike and does not seek side merit, so he can curb the rise of the trend of reckless military force.

At this time, Pei Yaoqing said: "To this day, no one thinks that you are too young to carry heavy burdens, but I still sweat a handful." The land of Shuofang has always been a place where brave generals gather, and it is inevitable that they will be arrogant, I don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid that you won't be able to control yourself when you go alone. However, Li Xiangguo repeatedly said that you have been in Longyou for three years, and the generals of the upper and lower armies will all be convinced, and they will definitely be able to succeed in Shuofang. However, Shuo Fang is not as good as Longyou, if you have any other requirements, just mention it. ”

In this way, Pei Yaoqing has reservations about him taking over Shuofang.

Now that he had almost figured out the different positions of the three prime ministers, Du Shiyi felt a little relieved, and immediately said jokingly: "Is it really asking me to mention it?" The three prime ministers, don't lie to deceive my heart! ”

Li Linfu blinked with a smile, as if he had been friends for many years, full of kindness: "Your Majesty also knows that this matter is not easy, so as long as we can do it, we will naturally do our best." ”

"In that case, then you're welcome. Can Li Yan, the general of Jin Wuwei, who went to Shanzhou Chiling to erect a monument with me in the past, transfer me as the deputy envoy of Jiedu? ”

Zhang Jiuling, Pei Yaoqing, Li Linfu, everyone has a clear account in their hearts, and such a candidate is expected. At this moment, Li Linfu couldn't help but praise in his heart. If Shuo Fang's fierce generals underestimated him because of Du Shiyi's age, it was really the wrong person! To be able to put forward the most accurate and suitable requirements in this situation that seems to be able to ask for a sky-high price, it is indeed worthy of Du Shiyi!

As soon as Zhang Jiuling heard that it was for Jin Wuwei's general Li Yan, he nodded happily after a little hesitation: "I will immediately report this matter to His Majesty, and it should not be a problem to think about it." ”

The title of General of the Sixteenth Guard just sounds beautiful, but in fact, in the entire Chang'an City, the real top is the North Gate Forbidden Army, but this army of soldiers and horses is now in the hands of the eunuchs headed by Gao Lishi Yang Siqiao, such as Chen Xuanli, and other generals still have to rely on their noses, not to mention ordinary generals? Therefore, Du Shiyi does not think that Li Yan will refuse the opportunity to go out and be independent. Moreover, more importantly, before his trip, Li Xin, who was also from the clan, was the Zhenwu army envoy Li Xin, who was also from the clan and was single-handedly picked up by Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, who wrote a number of letters for him.

He only lingered in the government hall for half an hour before he withdrew. And the three prime ministers who are in a good position naturally can't just take care of a small Shuo Fang, and there are affairs in the world that need to be handled with all their might. However, before Zhang Jiuling's report to see the Son of Heaven was answered, news came from the palace, saying that Du Shiyi had not yet arrived at the gate of Luoyang Palace, and was invited into the Xuanzheng Hall by the attendants who followed, and it was obvious that the Son of Heaven had summoned him.

Faced with this news, Zhang Jiuling couldn't help but smile and said: "The foreign ministers in the world don't know how many, and what Your Majesty can remember is even rarer. But Du Junli began to emerge from the thunderbolt Lao Mei who was presented at the banquet that year, and now he is on the side of the festival, and His Majesty is more trusting. ”

Pei Yaoqing was just sorry about this, but Li Linfu secretly smiled. When today, there are still few people who have trusted the very man? Wang Ju Liu You asked the Son of Heaven to ascend to the throne of God, and initially rewarded him with a phase, but it was not far away, Liu Youqiu was already dead, and this time he just calculated a little, and the one who was unlucky because of Wu Wenyan was that Wang Ju! Not to mention that Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang said that they were all famous ministers during the martial arts, so they can be regarded as staying in the phase for a few years? As for the rest, that's even more to say. Li Longji's trust in the minister has never been unreserved, and some opportunities can be taken advantage of!

When Du Shiyi saw Li Longji again after nearly three years, he found that this Tang Dynasty emperor looked a lot older. Maybe it's because his brothers and sisters have passed away one by one over the years, or maybe it's because he has to watch out for this calculation and that all day long, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, all in all, he can clearly feel the tiredness that Li Longji revealed. Therefore, no matter whether the Son of Heaven inquired about Longyou's situation or asked him about his views on the previous Shuo Fang, he only picked good ones, and sure enough, Li Longji was very happy for a while.

"Well, I was right! Thinking about Wei Rui, the general of the Liang State in the Southern Dynasty, although he was a weak scholar and could not ride a horse, he must ride in a car in every battle, and supervise the battle with bamboo Ruyi, but he won many victories. Now you are the third and the first, but you have not been defeated in the war, and Wei Rui is both from Jingzhao Duling, I am waiting for the day when you, a famous man, will make a name for himself in Beidizhong! ”

Li Longji was so happy that he compared Wei Rui, a famous general of Liang State, with himself, and Du Shiyi couldn't help but feel ashamed. But since the Son of Heaven was happy, he said aloud as soon as his mind turned: "Your Majesty, Wei Rui is weak and can't ride a horse, but I have always been proud of my achievements on the battlefield. In the past, there were Lou Zhengong Jinshi and the first, but he should be a fierce soldier and repeatedly lead the army to attack; There is also Wang Zhongliegong, who has guarded Shuofang for many years in the Ming Jing and the first time, and has made great achievements. Therefore, the poems are all fine, the bow and horse are omniscient, the horse governs the army, the horse governs the people, this party is a real celebrity! Looking at the past and present, only I have this martial atmosphere! ”

Du Shiyi directly selectively ignored the more martial Han Dynasty. Sure enough, Li Longji was overjoyed, and he exclaimed: "Well said! Sure enough, it's full of sharpness! By the way, since you arrived just in time this time, it will be King Shou's wedding in the near future, so you will be a concubine for him first, and then it is not too late to go to Shuofang to take office! ”

Hearing the last sentence, Du Shiyi's heart chuckled, but his face did not change at all, and he hurriedly saluted: "The minister receives the order." ”

"I didn't insist on you attending the wedding. You must know that Princess Shou Yang, in the past, she also learned the pipa from you, and worshiped Yuzhen to learn the Tao for many years, her parents died, you and Yuzhen are not their parents? Li Longji became more and more pleasant, and suddenly remembered the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" by Yunu in front of him at that time, and couldn't help but be distracted for a moment before continuing, "There are many famous artists in the pear garden, among which there are many who are good at pipa, such as Lei Haiqing, but the Yang family is especially good at pipa skills, and Eighteen Lang is blessed!" ”

"Since His Majesty said so, after I left the palace, I will first go to the Anguo Female Taoist Temple to meet the noble lord Yuzhen."

Du Shiyi took the opportunity to mention it, and seeing that the Son of Heaven had no objection, he got up and retired. It wasn't until he left Luoyang Palace and met with the servants on the way to Zhengpingfang Anguo Female Taoist Temple that he could no longer maintain that decent smiling face, and he couldn't say anything in his heart. Even if he knew that Lu Dao was about to get married in this season, the jade slave had naturally been taken back by the Yang family a long time ago, and it was impossible to stay outside the Anguo female Taoist priest Guanmen, when he waved his hand to stop the entourage and personally stepped forward to knock on the door, he still had one ten-thousandth expectation.

Maybe...... Maybe the Jade Slave is still here today?

At this moment, when a female crown opened the door, she was going to say that she didn't see any outsiders today, but as soon as she recognized Du Shiyi, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and joy, and then she didn't even have time to say hello before she turned around and rushed in. Seeing this scene, Du Shiyi simply stepped into this Taoist temple that he was extremely familiar with, and after bypassing the big shadow wall in front of the door, he saw Huo Qing stepping forward with a strong face.

"I just heard that Du Dashuai arrived in the Eastern Capital, but I didn't expect to come so soon!"

"Huo Niangzi, you are a handsome Du, don't people hear it, don't you think that I came here with thousands of troops and horses to meet the master?"

Huo Qing suddenly smiled, and then he said: "It's me who lost my mouth, I haven't seen you for three years, and Du Jiulang's demeanor is even greater!" Today, the Taizhen lady came to say goodbye, and now she is in the room, and your lord and Princess Gu'an are there. ”

The Jade Slave is really here!

Du Shiyi was very pleasantly surprised, he tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, squinted slightly at the rare clear sky in winter, and then said: "There is a lady of Laohuo to lead the way." ”
