Chapter 1011: There Are Trade-offs in Life

I don't know if Huangfu Weiming is prepared early tomorrow, or if he doesn't plan to continue to live in a post house with Du Shiyi, when Du Shiyi finally came to Chang'an Duting Station, he learned that Huangfu Weiming did not live here. He didn't believe that Huangfu Weiming would be so bold to go home on his own, and he would probably change to other post houses such as Chengdong Station, so he didn't think much about it, and on the one hand ordered someone to send a letter to Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Men, as well as his own home, and on the other hand, he sent a letter to Gao Lishi, striving to be summoned as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible.

He has been away from Chang'an for two years in the blink of an eye, but here is already a matter of things. The old group of officials in the DPRK and China are almost impossible to find, and they have been replaced by a large number of rising upstarts. And every such upstart has almost nothing to do with Li Linfu. Looking at it, among his relatives and friends, the only one who is firmly nailed to the foreign office is Pei Kuan. Even so, Pei Kuan was still reminded by Pei Ning in several letters every month, so that on the one hand, he was with the light and the dust and did not grudge with others, but on the other hand, he worked the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, otherwise he would have almost lost under Li Linfu's tricks a few months ago.

As soon as he settled down, he heard the sound of Aziz talking to someone. As soon as his heart moved, he immediately got up and opened the door, only to see a tall young man looking sideways, it was his young son Du Youlin. Father and son rarely see each other these days, so after glancing at each other, he bowed his head and said, "Come in." ”

"Yes, Grandpa." Du Youlin made an honest appearance, and after gesturing to Azler, he chased Du Shiyi into the house, and obediently closed the door. However, before he had time to step forward to salute his father, he was unaware that Du Shiyi, who had already sat down, suddenly slapped on the armrest.

"Say it yourself, why don't you go to Ying Wannian County to take the test?"

Du Shiyi has a total of two sons, because of his exploits over the years, the two sons all have grace, Du Guangyuan is now following Wang Zhonghei in Hedong, even if the record is not extremely outstanding, but it is also steady, and Du Youlin, who is fond of reading, has been in Chang'an for several years, as far as he knows, many predecessors are quite optimistic about it. In his opinion, letting his son go down to the field to give it a try, whether he succeeds or fails, is always a rare experience. But he didn't expect that after getting his letter last year, Du Youlin refused to end!

"I don't want to go." Unlike his brother, Du Youlin, who has always been obedient to his parents, actually said such a sentence. Seeing his father's discoloration, Du Youlin said in a calm voice, "Whether or not I have been sent by Jingzhao Mansion with my true skills, others will think that it is because of Grandpa, and if I fall off the list, there will definitely be someone who accuses Grandpa." Even if I finally become a new jinshi on the gold list, I will send officials after the election, and then I will have to let others do it, will I leave A-Niang alone in Chang'an? Moreover, when I stepped into the officialdom, Grandpa and Auntie will have one more person to worry about, but if I don't step into the field now, in the future, or if Your Majesty thinks of me, I will be like the children of ordinary ministers and nobles, just give an idle job in Guanglu Temple in Taifu Temple, I can help Auntie, and I will not let her live alone and lonely. ”

The youngest son back then actually said such a thing now, Du Shiyi couldn't help but have mixed feelings. Those big truths appear weak and powerless before these small thoughts. He could only sigh deeply, and then said seriously: "Have you thought clearly? In the future, I really don't plan to go to the field, and I should make a department? ”

"It makes people think that I don't have big ambitions." Du Youlin didn't think about it, and said directly, "It's enough to have grandpa and brother working outside at home." ”

After a long silence, Du Shiyi beckoned him to come forward, and then carefully looked at the little son, and finally burst out a few words: "You have grown up." ”

In all fairness, he has always been strict with his eldest son, and at a very young age, he let people learn martial arts and military strategies from Wang Zhonghe, and threw him to the people's house at a very young age, and then put him in the middle of the city to hone it, but he didn't spend so much energy on his younger son, because there were too many issues to consider at that time, and then he was not around for many years. Moreover, Du Youlin was sensible earlier than Du Guangyuan, thinking that he had covered for him who left Shuo Fang's office without permission at that age, and subconsciously, he always thought that this was a very worry-free child.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I am here in Chang'an, I will help A-Niang!"

The words that the young son said when he left still lingered in his ears until Du Shiyi went to the Xingqing Hall of Xingqing Palace to see the Son of Heaven. He took Du Fu, the secretary in charge, with him on this trip, so he simply asked Du Fu to report some specific information about Anbei Yatent City in front of the Son of Heaven, and he took the opportunity to be in a daze.

Li Longji is really interested in Mobei, the first fortified city, but even if he is not the son of heaven who likes to nest in the deep palace, and even once enshrined Mount Tai, he can only think about it in his heart when he goes deep into Mobei to visit the Anbei Tent City, not only listens carefully, but also asks questions from time to time. Seeing this scene, Du Fu glanced at Du Shiyi, and when he nodded slightly, he got up and unfolded a long scroll.

"It's ......"

"Your Majesty, this is a painting that I personally painted after the completion of the Anbei Ya Tent City. Although it is really ugly, but it is also a little bit of the minister's heart to dedicate himself to the emperor. ”

Du Shiyi's painting skills are indeed not enough, but this is a painting that he made constant changes to sketches and so on during the construction of Anbei Yatent City, and then added figures on this basis, and finally achieved a painting, which is more symbolic. What Li Longji was looking at at the moment was the layout of the city, with soldiers and horses, and four Yi guest suits, and in the end, he said to Gao Lishi with a smile: "Didn't Dao Xuan say before that he was feeling bored? Call him! Although I can't go far to Mobei and take a look at Anbei Yatent City, he can take my party and put all this magnificent landscape into the picture scroll and bring it back for me! ”

Gao Lishi wished that the Son of Heaven was as interested in Du Shiyi as possible, he had become more and more unsupportive of Li Linfu over the years, although Li Shizhi had his help, but he also did not have an advantage in front of Li Linfu, so he immediately went out to find Wu Daozi in person, and returned to the palace after a while. At this time, he found that Li Longji seemed to be a little interested in Du Fu, and immediately said with a smile: "Every secretary of Du Dashuai is a handsome talent, this Secretary Du has the same surname as you, is it also from the Jingzhao Du family?" ”

Du Fu is no longer the stunned young man who claimed to be the prognosis of Hou Du in Dangyang County, he helped Du Shiyi in Longyou for a while, and then returned to the court to take the exam, but he also passed the Jinshi, but the magnates who controlled the court could not tolerate themselves, and at the same time he was stubborn for a while, hoping to do some deeds with his own strength, but he ran into a bloody head. At this moment, Gao Lishi asked, Li Longji looked at him with interest, but he replied cautiously: "The minister is the Du family of Xiangyang, and he and Du Dashuai are just the same surname, not the same clan." ”

Li Longji suddenly remembered that someone had mentioned Du Fu to him, and suddenly said lightly: "I remember, you are Du Xianyan's grandson." ”

"Majesty Xià good memory! Zimei's writing is brilliant, and her poems and articles show the people's livelihood and people's livelihood, which is simple and timeless. Du Shiyi didn't mind letting the people he had used go further, so he immediately mentioned it, and saw Li Longji bowing slightly, "Shuo Fangji is widely circulated in Chang'an, and I have also read a few volumes, remembering that Cen Zhonggao is better at military service, and Du Zimei is good at writing poems." ”

Although Li Longji did not express his intention to be promoted, he could make the Son of Heaven remember his name, and Du Fu was also ecstatic. When Wu Daozi came with the edict, he agreed after hearing the news of going to Mobei, and he couldn't even wait to go with them, and immediately planned to set off in this icy and snowy time, Li Longji couldn't resist him, so he agreed.

When he left the palace with Du Shiyi, Du Fu heard Gao Lishi, who had personally sent him off, mention that he might mention that the Son of Heaven would mention to his subordinates that he would be transferred to Beijing in the future, and he was even more excited for a while. But before he could be happy, Gao Lishi poured a basin of cold water on his head again: "However, now all the personnel power is in the hands of Li Linfu, even if Yang Shenjin was a saint back then, everyone wants to promote him to the imperial history, he looks at Li Linfu and doesn't seem to be so happy, so he doesn't dare to resign, let alone outsiders?" If you don't flatter Li Linfu, then don't think about any beautiful job! ”

How Gao Lishi was a prominent and noble in Chang'an, of course Du Fu knew, and when he heard Gao Lishi assert like this, he only felt half cold. Thinking of the situation when he was a county lieutenant, he didn't even wait for Du Shiyi to speak, so he said in a low voice: "What General Gao said is very true, although Chang'an is good, it is not easy to live, not to mention that I am only a shallow learner, and it is better to be content in Shuofang, and I also ask General Gao to play His Majesty on my behalf." ”

Du Shiyi listened to Du Fu's words, glanced at Gao Lishi with some amusement, and sure enough, he saw that he threw a kind smile at himself, obviously saying, look at me, I will block back a person who wants to climb a high branch for you. Although he didn't want people to think that he was blocking his subordinates' way up, and Gao Lishi had already done so at this time, he had no choice but to acquiesce. When he was about to arrive at the palace gate, he saw that there were obviously family members outside to greet him, so he made an excuse to take Du Fu away, and then asked in a low voice: "What does the general say?" ”

"Looking at this Du Zimei's sincere eyes, I don't think it is Li Linfu's opponent, so let him be sent to death as a Jingguan? If you can send someone like Zhang Qijun back, then there is still some hope. Gao Lishi shook his head helplessly, and then sighed, "Li Linfu is so good at acting like this, everyone can't even listen to my words now." Luckily, I finally have all these years of love, and I still have ......."

Gao Lishi suddenly stopped his words, and then changed his words: "Yang Yuyao is quite a sacred heart now, you don't treat the Yang family like before." ”

The rise of the Yang family is what everyone in Chang'an City has seen, but Du Shiyi knows better that he let the jade slave golden cicada escape from his shell, but he actually lost a key to the Yang family. However, he didn't have any regrets, if he hadn't done this, on the day of the chaos in the world in the future, even if he had great strength, he might not be able to keep this female disciple of his own. Therefore, he just nodded happily to accept Colliers's reminder, but his heart became more and more cold.

Yang Yuyao used to be self-righteous and arrogant, and her ability to cause trouble should be much stronger than the real Yang Guifei! Perhaps, he didn't even have to endure it for so many years!
