Chang'an Xingning Fang is only separated by a square in the north is Daming Palace, and there is only one Yongjia Fang in the south and Xingqing Palace, which is the most important place for dignitaries to live. In addition to the mansion that Li Longji specially ordered the Ministry of Industry to build for him after Yao Chong's resignation, the mansions of Guo Qianyun and Wang Maozhong, the former Anxi capital, are also here. And it's not just them, but the Goris is also here. It's just that he lives in the palace most of the time, and doesn't often go back to his private house, even if he comes back, he will inquire clearly to avoid Wang Maozhong, although the two rivals live in a square, but they rarely have the opportunity to meet.

In the evening of this day, Gao Lishi, who returned to his private residence from Xingqing Palace, avoided Wang Maozhong's swaggering car and stepped into his own door smoothly. He originally brought his mother Mai Shi here, but Mai Shi insisted on moving to the old house of his late adoptive father Gao Yanfu in Laitingfang because he didn't like the dignitaries everywhere here. Compared with Xingningfang, there are mostly eunuchs' mansions there, and few officials or scholars buy land there, if it weren't for the current Xingningfang mansion is given by the emperor, Gao Lishi is not happy to be a neighbor with Wang Maozhong.

"Family, someone in Yunzhou came to give gifts on the order of Du Changshi."

"Gift-giving?" Gao Lishi, who had just sat down, was still thinking about Wang Maozhong's arrogant and hateful jiashi, and when he heard this, he raised his head suddenly, "Ask clearly, is it really Yunzhou Du Changshi?" ”

After receiving an affirmative reply from the waiter at home, Collisden was greatly puzzled. Yang Siqiao went to Lingnan to quell the rebellion again, and the good news was frequent, his Gao Lishi's limelight in the palace was unmatched, and there were not no officials who wanted to go his way, but he was very selective in receiving gifts, and he couldn't send gifts at all if he had no way. And the relationship between him and Du Shiyi started because of Du Siwen, and they have cooperated two or three times, but even so, Du Shiyi has never given him a gift, what happened this time? Could it be that the young man who was very cautious in the capital, now that he has gone out to control one side, he has even gained courage?

"Bring someone here."

Along the way, Chibi personally escorted Wang An back, and as for the three million money, he went to the cabinet in Chang'an East City to redeem it into a money ticket. At this moment, he personally carried a sack to Gao Lishi, he threw the sack to the ground, and then saluted: "A certain person was ordered by the head of the family, Du Changshi, to meet General Gao, the culprit in the sack, is the culprit of the high price of grain in Yunzhou before, the head of the family thought about it and couldn't deal with it, so he sent me back to Beijing, and dedicated this person and this person's greedy money to General Gao's feet, please dispose of it." ”

Only then did Colliers understand what this gift meant. He hurriedly waved his hand and retreated from the servants around him, and when Chibi quickly untied the sack and took out the guy who was tied up with flowers and stuffed with cloth in his mouth, he nodded knowingly, and beckoned Chibi to step forward, and listened to the original explanation of the ins and outs, and then he laughed.

"Okay, reply to Du Changshi, leave this matter to me, I will definitely not let his hard work be in vain, and I must have avenged him for this arrow"

After Chibi respectfully agreed, he saluted and left, and looked at the trembling guy on the ground like chaff, and couldn't help but smile like a flower. Du Shiyi not only sent such a servant under Wang Maozhong, but also generously sent him along with the three million money that this person was greedy for Liang Xiaoshan

After Du Shiyi arrived in Yunzhou, he folded every three days and played every five days, still continuing his good habit of starting from the release of Chengdu Order, asking for instructions early and reporting at night. Therefore, the progress of Yunzhou City from household registration to reclamation to mutual market can be known to anyone who cares. Of course, among them, Du Shiyi and Yu Wenrong's suppression of grain prices is the same, which makes Li Longji even more appreciative.

"Du Junli really lived up to my expectations."

Concubine Wu Hui saw that Li Longji's face was triumphant, so she smiled and complimented: "San Lang's art of observing and employing people is originally unparalleled in the world. Du Changshi made remarkable achievements when he first arrived in Yunzhou, and the Yuwen household department was in Weizhou, which also made the disaster relief, which had been extremely slow before, advance rapidly. One is the history of the governor of the state after eight years of entering the office, and the other is from the master of Fuping County, and he was once in charge of the household department for seven years. ”

"How can I compare with Emperor Taizong." Li Longji said this, but his face showed an undisguised look.

"Concubine heard that there are often people in the market who compare the two phases of Yao and Song with Du Fang next to Taizong Bixia in the past. Concubine Wu Hui got up and turned to Li Longji's back as she spoke, gently pinched his shoulders and back, and saw that Li Longji was really in a very good mood, so she said quietly, "At the beginning, there was still a humane that Du Changshi was released to Yunzhou to move to the left, but I didn't know that this ruling party was originally the biggest tempering for young people. Du Changshi will definitely benefit a lot from this term. ”

The two words "moving to the left" touched Li Longji's keen nerves. He sat up straight almost instinctively, and then slowly relaxed again: "Oh? Until now, some people still say that Du Junli moved to the left? ”

Concubine Wu Hui glanced at Yaoguang, the servant girl standing on the side, behind Li Longji, who immediately bowed her head in fear and said, "Everyone, there are so many discussions outside. Some people say that it is Li Xiangguo, Du Xiangguo, they are dissatisfied with Du Changshi's recommendation of Yuwen Hubu, and some people say that it is ......"

Li Longji knew the first half of the section, but the second half of the head was suddenly gone, and he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What else did someone say?" ”

"Others say it is...... said that Du Changshi offended General Wang. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Longji got up. Seeing this, Yaoguang hurriedly knelt on his knees and didn't dare to raise his head, and didn't say another word. At this time, Concubine Wu Hui said casually: "San Lang, don't be angry, it's just some nonsense. There is no gossip in the palace, even the concubine has not been slandered many times. The concubine still remembers the time when she was falsely accused of being a demon who brought disaster to the country...... Alas, it's all in the past, and that's how it is to spread falsehood."

Concubine Wu Hui skillfully twisted and slowly twisted and picked up each sentence, all of which reached Li Longji's heart. Although the next topic seemed to be forgotten by the two imperial concubines, when he returned to his bedroom, he couldn't help but ask the left and right chamberlains to transfer all of Du Shiyi's superiors. When he focused on the reasons for the high price of grain in Yunzhou, and noticed the name of one of them, Liang Xiaoshan, he ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone to investigate, how can a mere grain merchant have such courage?"

The Son of Heaven wanted to investigate something that others had the intention to let him find, so naturally, the exact information was placed on his desk only the next day. Knowing that Liang Xiaoshan was Wang Maozhong's part released at the beginning of Kaiyuan, and then there was no contact, he immediately sneered: "No contact? Didn't contact a district grain chamber of commerce to go against Governor Yun? Hedong and Hebei are all over the world, the price of grain is high, why don't you see him working with people elsewhere, but in Yunzhou? ”

"This ...... Maybe it's a coincidence? Gao Lishi on the side smiled cautiously.

"There is no coincidence in this world" Li Longji dropped this sentence disapprovingly, and then lightly ordered, "What's more, other grain merchants made amends afterwards, Du Junli didn't care for himself, and also forgave them, but this Liang Xiaoshan committed suicide by relying on medicine, if he didn't know that he was sad to pass this pass, why would he be willing to spare his life?" It's a good one to cross the river and tear down the bridge, abandon the pawn to protect the car, my general Wang is really familiar with it."

Colliers didn't try to add fuel to the fire, just stood silently to the side. After a long time, he heard Li Longji spit out a sentence.

"It has been several months since the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion was reinstated, and the Turkic response has not been great. Du Junli not only picked a few good helpers, but also set up a local hermit in Baishan Mountain to help, and I simply justified his name. In addition to Guo Quan's military participation for Yunzhou Records, Wang Han joined the army for Yunzhou Sima, Cui Hao joined the army for Yunzhou Hucao, Wang Lingran joined the army for Yunzhou Gongcao, Wang Fanglie joined the army for Yunzhou Facao, and Luo Ying joined the army for Yunzhou Bingcao. The loyal heir is just an experience, so there is no need to think about it, so Du Junli is also the Yunzhou guard and capture envoy, and the recruitment matters are handed over to him. When the overall situation of Yunzhou has been decided, you can be horns with Shan Yu Duhufu. ”

The Son of Heaven didn't say a word, and without going through the selection of the officials, he solved the establishment problem one by one for the people brought by Du Shiyi, Gao Lishi couldn't help but smile in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask a sentence on his face: "If this matter is not under the ministry, I am afraid that Song Shangshu will have to advise again." Don't look at Song Shangshu, who has always regarded Du Changshi as his own nephew, but the iron-faced ruthlessness may not care about this. ”

"So⊥ you say a word to Qi Chao, the servant of the ministry, and let him arrange it. In addition, since Du Junli is now the governor of Yunzhou, the scattered officials should not stay put. Since his wife is married by me, and she is a disciple of the eighth sister, not to mention that this time it is quite helpful in the matter of Yunzhou, with the grade of Du Junli, giving it to his parents and sealing his wife's room, it is all right, and this is for Qi Chao to consider. ”

Li Longji saw that Gao Lishi immediately bowed down to the promise, he thought about it, and then said, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and when the time is given to the close ministers, I will also give Du Junli and the loyal heir a copy." Bestow on the kings and lords, and don't miss the princess of Gu'an. I remember that Du Junli's female disciples are now practicing in Yuzhenguan? Give her a lute. As for the other disciple who accompanied him to Yunzhou, he gave a set of the four treasures of the study. ”

The Son of Heaven did not punish the king Mao Zhong, but he treated Du Shiyi and his relatives and nephews so favorably, the meaning of which is self-evident. Even Gao Lishi, as an accomplice, couldn't help but marvel at Du Shiyi's luck at this moment. Just when he still thought that Li Longji would still let Wang Maozhong go gently, he only heard the Son of Heaven ask vaguely.

"I heard that Wang Maozhong has a new concubine?"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Lishi was stunned for a moment, racked his brains and thought about it, and then laughed and said: "I have never heard of it, how can everyone know about such a thing?" ”

"Of course I heard about it, it's Tang Diwen's distant niece." Li Longji smiled, and said lightly, "His wife was originally given by me in the mansion at that time, and then I chose a beautiful woman among the clan daughters to marry him as the wife of the country, but I didn't expect him to be so old, and he is still taboo in meat and vegetables." You look in the court, pick five or six young and beautiful palace maids and give them to him, so that he will not have to worry about the women outside."
