At the end of March in Chang'an, spring was in full swing. The Chunming Gate in the east of the city is even more fertile with red leaves, and the fragrance of the flower dew in the Xingqing Palace in Nanda is not drifting into the hearts of passers-by along with the breeze.

Today, it is very grand outside the Chunming Gate, because many high-ranking officials of the imperial court gather here.

They were headed by Yang Yan and Zheng Jin, and the eunuchs were Wu Yipin, the privy envoy, Ximen Kuangfan, the lieutenant of the right army of the Shence Army, Ximen Sigong, the envoy of the Xuanhui Yuan, Tian Lingyu, the envoy of the Gate, and Liu Jishu, the envoy of the Flying Dragon, etc., and other courtiers also included Xu Anwen, the servant of the Criminal Department and the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Zhao Zhizhao, the Yin of Jingzhao.

In addition to high-ranking officials and dignitaries, others are even some four- and five-grade court officials, as well as Qin, Liu, Kang, Wang and other big businessmen. Everyone got the news and waited outside the Chunming Gate early, looking forward to Li Bao's return.

Today, many executives gathered here to wait for Li Bao, who has returned from Xingyang. After a month's trek, Li Bao and his party were about to arrive. Returning to Chang'an, where he had been absent for a long time, Li Bao was very happy in his heart, and when he was about to arrive at Chunming Gate, he found that the battle to welcome him was very large.

Li Bao saw many executives dressed up to greet him, he was very frightened, came to the front of the people and immediately got off the horse to greet many executives, and after everyone greeted politely, he thanked everyone for welcoming and welcoming him.

Zheng Jin and Yang Yan saw that Li Bao could not be arrogant and complacent on such an occasion, and the two of them were very satisfied. After Li Bao finished greeting the senior officials, he came to Yang Yan and Zheng Ji to bow and greet them respectively.

After Li Bao finished saluting, Yang Yan and Zheng Zheng exchanged pleasantries with Li Bao, and then everyone got on the horse and rode to the city in a sedan chair, and the target was the reopened Qianjin Building of Chongrenfang.

After Chang'an was recovered, Zhao Qiancheng and Liang Hongmei immediately rushed to Chang'an with the competent stewards of Shanhe Society. Qianjin Building, Meiya Yaya and various places in Jinchangfang have been carefully restored by Liang Hongmei and his wife, and now they have begun to open again.

Today, Li Bao came back to Chang'an again, which is of great significance to Shanhe Society and Qianjinlou, because Liang Hongmei and his wife let Zheng A Li pick up a table of good dishes early in the morning, waiting for Li Bao to return.

After the group came to the Qianjin Building, the entire Chongrenfang was boiling, and Li Bao, the king of Ji who was famous in Chang'an in the past, returned to Chang'an again, which made many old people in Chang'an sigh: The national fortune of the Tang Dynasty has not yet died, and there is not our most beloved Ji Wangye.

When Li Bao came to Qianjinlou, he saw many ragged people, as well as the dilapidated ruins that could be seen everywhere, he sighed, Chang'an, I am back again!

My youth is back again, although when I left a few years ago, the memory of you is very different from now, but I still feel very close to coming here!

Li Bao felt pregnant for a long time, then dismounted and walked quickly to Liang Hongmei, holding her jade hand affectionately, "Auntie, I'm back!" ”

Liang Hongmei saw Li Bao's youthful appearance, coupled with the wind and frost over the years, his face added a touch of calm and maturity. "Liulang is safe along the way, and the concubine has been worried about you all these days, for fear that you will catch the cold."

Facing Liang Hongmei, who was like her adoptive mother, Li Baozhen revealed, "Auntie, don't worry, my body is very strong and I will never catch a cold." Don't worry, let's go, let's go in, I'm going to eat the almond porridge you made. ”

Liang Hongmei smiled all over her face, and said repeatedly: "Okay, Liulang can eat as much as he wants." ”

After Li Bao entered the Qianjin Building, he inspected with Liang Hongmei again, greeted Zhao Qiancheng, Zheng Ah Li and others, and then said goodbye to everyone and went to the private room to meet the guests.

After Li Bao entered the private room again, everyone greeted each other again, and then sat down. Because of the large number of people who greeted Li Bao this time, the entire third floor was basically full, and some small businesses had to arrange private rooms on the second floor.

Li Bao made a toast to all the guests with a wine glass before coming to the largest private room, which was full of the leading figures of Chang'an City, and the other private rooms had their own Zhao Qiancheng and others to greet them.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yang Yan said: "How about Liulang going to Xingyang to harvest this time?" ”

When Li Bao heard his mentor's question, he put down his wine chopsticks and said with a smile: "Everything went smoothly to Xingyang this time, I discussed it with my father-in-law, and I married Yan'er in two months." ”

After listening to Li Bao's words, Yang Yan smiled and said to Zheng Zheng: "Congratulations to Zheng Xiang for getting a good son-in-law." ”

Zheng Zheng looked at Li Bao with a smile and then said to Yang Yan: "The old man also congratulates Yang Xiang's good apprentice." After Zheng Zheng finished speaking, the two laughed, and Wu Yipin, Ximen Brothers, Tian Lingyu and others in the private room congratulated Li Bao, Zheng Jin, and Yang Yan.

Li Bao's marriage is a happy event, so he is very free and easy, and he accepts everyone's congratulations. Whoever comes to toast, he will not refuse, and he will get drunk with Li Bao with a banquet.

By the time he woke up, it was already night, and Hu Sanbao, Liang Hongmei and others had been watching over him before he collapsed, and the sobering soup and tea were very timely. After he sobered up, he saw that Liang Hongmei was tired, and he was very sorry, so he pulled Liang Hongmei and told Hu Sanbao to send her back to rest.

And he got out of bed and called for warm water to clean his face, and then instructed his servants to prepare some tea and cakes for him, and he still had official business to deal with.

Now that he is back in Chang'an, facing the situation that Chang'an is in ruins, Li Bao is naturally not happy in his heart. Now that he is sober, he wants to draw up some articles of association, so that he can meet Yang Yan and the others tomorrow to discuss.

……

The next day, Li Bao took Hu Sanbao to the Wude Hall early in the morning to meet Emperor Li Yi. For his fifth brother, Li Bao was also very kind, the emperor was a little uncomfortable, the two brothers chatted for a long time, Li Bao told him to recuperate with peace of mind and then resigned, and went straight to the political hall of the imperial city Yang Yan and Zheng Zheng were still waiting for him.

After Li Bao saluted the two elders, the three of them took their seats, and then Yang Yan went to invite Xu Anwen and Zhao Zhizhao to attend the meeting. These people are all Li Bao's people in the court, as for those eunuchs, Li Bao didn't plan to call them, mainly because Wu Yipin, these powerful eunuchs, did not belong to his inner circle.

And Xu Anwen is the father of his good friend Xu Xuanye, and Xu Xuanye is still studying political affairs with Zhang Chengye in Weizhou at this time, and their father and son fell under Li Bao's door early, so Li Bao is very relieved of him.

Zhao Zhizhao was because he recognized Li Bao's mandate of heaven early, so he won Li Bao's trust during the Shuzhong period.

After all the servants and servants had been dismissed, the people began to meet. Li Bao first introduced the situation of his capture of the Northwest Regions after capturing Tian Lingzi to Yang Yan and others, and explained the territory occupied by Weizhou today.

After hearing this, everyone nodded one after another, and Li Bao also specially explained in detail the matter of Dafeng Beach under Helan Mountain in Lingzhou as a grain base.

Then Li Bao introduced several field troops under the command of the Ji Kingdom of Weizhou, and gave a general explanation of their combat power and novel weapons and power, which still enhanced their confidence and facilitated their work in Chang'an in the future.

Then Li Bao told him about his trip to Xingyang to see Zhu Wen again, and explained in detail his plan to support Zhu Wen as a knife and gun. And name the places that need to cooperate in the future, so that they can cooperate as appropriate.

All you need to do is hear all these things.

The next thing Li Bao wants to say is extremely important, he has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and at this moment, Li Bao feels that he needs to say it to give a briefing to political elites like Yang Yan and Zheng Jin, after all, such a thing is too important.

Li Bao packed up the materials in his hand, and then took a manuscript he had prepared early in the morning from Hu Sanbao's hand. This manuscript is very important, and Hu Sanbao has always kept it close to him.

Everyone was very curious when they saw Li Bao so solemn.

After Li Bao took the manuscript, he came to everyone and handed one to everyone.

Zheng Ji took the manuscript paper, and after glancing at the title on the manuscript, he immediately felt a huge shock. "Rokuro, you ......"

Yang Yan, Xu Anwen and Zhao Zhizhao were all curious when they saw the changes in Zheng Jin, but after they got the manuscript and read the title, they couldn't sit still, "This ...... How should it be discussed? ”

Li Bao looked at everyone's grim faces, he was also a little nervous, after all, the matter discussed today was very important, and it was also related to the long-term peace and stability of the empire in the future.

But he must do this thing, especially after he saw Chang'an experiencing the crazy ravage/ravages of the Huang Chao Army, his mind became more resolute. So he spoke: "The manuscript paper in your hands, you must know what the most important thing I want to talk about today, yes, it is to move the capital. ”

"Why did Rokuro put forward such a motion at this time, you must know that if this matter is accidentally spread, the people in our room will be scolded by the people of the world, and there is a risk of leaving a stench for thousands of years." Zheng Jin said anxiously.

"Well, today's matter must be kept secret, no one is allowed to leak it, if someone leaks it, after all, I have suffered a strong blow from my Weizhou, and the manuscript that each of you is holding in your hands is numbered, not to prevent you, but this matter is very important, I have to be cautious."

When everyone heard this, they checked the manuscript in their hands, and sure enough, they found a mark in the lower right corner. Presumably, Li Bao made a number, and he must have done some of the information in these manuscripts, so that he could distinguish who leaked the secret. As for which part can be handled, it is difficult for everyone to know.

Li Bao took the manuscript and continued: "The proposal to move the capital this time is based on the various shortcomings of Chang'an as the national capital over the years, coupled with the fact that the Huangchao bandit army entrenched in Chang'an has caused great harm to Chang'an's city defense, plus other factors, Chang'an is no longer easy to be the capital. ”

Zhao Zhizhao and others were already frightened by the title of the manuscript, and Yang Yan was also very embarrassed by Li Bao's proposal to move the capital. It was because he disregarded the maintenance of Li Bao's authority and said: "In addition to the corruption of this yellow bandit, what reason does Liulang have to move the capital?" Let's talk about it all along with it. ”
