Recently, Xiao Li has been a little annoyed.

Huangfu is gone, and he has gone to the other side of the sky, in this life and this life, I don't know if there is a chance to return to Chang'an.

Linghu Chu left, and before leaving, he was stabbed by the ungrateful villain.

In the past, the three-person group of Zhenyuan in the seventh year of the infinite scenery is now, only one person is left, hesitating alone in Chang'an, hesitating in Chang'an, which is full of dangers.

Of course, the good news is not without it, for example, the return of Li Fengji.

Li Fengji, a traitorous villain; Xiao Li, an honest gentleman. It seems that these are two people who are very far apart, and they should have no friendship, like two parallel straight lines, which will never intersect, but the truth is far from it.

A gentleman and a gentleman may not be friends, but may also be enemies, such as Pei Du and Wei Guanzhi, such as Wei Guanzhi and Wu Yuanheng; Similarly, a gentleman and a villain are not necessarily enemies, but may also be friends, such as Xiao Li and Huangfu Lu. As for human nature, it is even more complicated, for example, the virtuous prime minister Pei Du once had a hot fight with the damned eunuch; For example, the traitorous villain Li Fengji also stood up for the upright Wei Guanzhi and fired fiercely at the person who drove Wei Guanzhi out of Chang'an, the shameless rat named Zhang Su, and even lost his phase for this. As for Ling Hu Chu, who has just been kicked out of the capital, it is even more complicated, it is difficult to say whether he is a gentleman or a villain, because, in addition to the infamous side, Ling Hu Chu also has another side, another side that is unknown: in front of his parents, he is a well-behaved and filial son; In front of his subordinates, he is a gentle and generous elder; In front of his friends, he is a confidant with a knife in both ribs; In front of the down-and-out talent, he is a Bole who helps with righteousness...... You say, is our Mr. Linghu Chu a gentleman or an out-and-out villain?

Therefore, Xiao Li, a moral gentleman, has a relationship with the shameless Li Fengji, a relationship that seems very unreasonable, but is actually very reasonable: friends, friends who have a very good relationship. Perhaps, it has not yet reached the level of a partisan, but it is not much worse. Because, they have so many reasons to be friends.

At one time, they were comrades in the same trench. Perhaps, the purpose is different, but they once had a common goal, Pei Du, the iron-blooded prime minister Pei Du. In order to bring down the prosperous Pei Du, they launched wave after wave of fierce attacks. During the years of fighting together, they formed a deep comradeship.

Once, they were friends who shared the same disease. Because of the attack on Pei Du, they paid a terrible price. Li Fengji not only lost his position as prime minister, but was also kicked out of the capital. Xiao Li was lucky, although he lost the part-time Hanlin bachelor who everyone envied, he finally stayed in Chang'an. The situation of sympathy for the same disease can often give rise to the pride of the same hatred and hatred, which is the case with Xiao Li and Li Fengji.

Once, no, always, they had a mutual friend, a very good friend, a friend who was so good that he was still fat in a pair of pants, and this friend's name was Ling Hu Chu. In general, a friend's friend is still a friend, and the hardcore of the hardcore is, of course, still a hardcore.

Therefore, for Xiao Li, Li Fengji's return is really good news, very good news, especially when he is alone. It's a pity that this good news has to be discounted, perhaps, not just in half.

First of all, Li Fengji is back, but Duan Wenchang is leaving. In fact, Li Fengji's return was the reason why Duan Wenchang left Chang'an in a hurry.

Li Fengji's return made Duan Wenchang very uneasy and very uneasy, because he had a grudge against Li Fengji.

This is a story of revenge. It's a bit ridiculous to say, Ling Hu Chu and Li Fengji, who have always been notorious, are often the ones who are emotionally victimized in this kind of incident. Linghu Chu is like this, and so is Li Fengji. Linghu Chu promoted Yuan Zhen, but was severely ravaged by him; Li Fengji promoted Duan Wenchang, what will be the result?

Don't worry, Duan Wenchang is not Yuan Zhen, he is not as unkind as Yuan Zhen, he just chose to watch when Li Fengji and Pei Du were in full swing.

It was a tragic duel, and the soldiers of both sides came to block the water and cover the earth, and it was difficult to distinguish between the killings. At this critical moment, as long as he is still a person and has some use, he was pulled out to blow up the bunker.

In this grand duel, Duan Wenchang is a card and a trump card for Li Fengji. Li Fengji naively thought that as long as he played this trump card at the critical moment of the struggle, he would be able to get everything done. Because, Duan Wenchang, who has never been very conspicuous, actually has a huge amount of energy.

It's a pity that this time, Li Fengji looked away, because Duan Wenchang is a cautious person and very cautious. After careful observation, the cautious Duan Wenchang came to a cautious conclusion: Li Fengji launched a war that he was not sure of, and he was not sure at all. So, he decided, wait and see, first.

Facts have proved that Duan Wenchang's vision is quite accurate, and in that thrilling war, Li Fengji was defeated and defeated! As a punishment, Li Fengji and Linghu Chu, the main cadres of the defeated side, were driven out of Chang'an one after another, and Duan Wenchang, who was Mingzhe, was not rashly involved in this turmoil and was not implicated in any way, and still served as his Hanlin scholar. Soon, he ascended to the throne of prime minister in all directions.

However, when you come out to mix, there are some debts that always have to be repaid. Now that Li Fengji is back, Duan Wenchang has a faint feeling that a catastrophe is coming. Therefore, Duan Wenchang, who has always been cautious, decided to learn the 36 strategies: the 36 strategies are the upper ones.

Duan Wenchang and Xiao Li are not friends, but their political views are roughly the same, so working with Duan Wenchang, Xiao Li is more down-to-earth, at least he doesn't have to worry about someone pulling his hind legs. Now, Duan Wenchang is leaving, and Xiao Li is a little sad.

However, what really bothered Xiao Li was not Duan Wenchang's departure, but the candidates recommended by Duan Wenchang for prime minister: Niu Shengyu and Yuan Zhen. Niu monks and children are just fine, but Yuan Zhen is unacceptable to him, as for the reason, I believe everyone knows it.

Duan Wenchang is gone, and the next person to take the position is likely to be Yuan Zhen, Xiao Li is very depressed.

Li Fengji is back, just because he used to be Li You's teacher. Li You recalled his teacher back to Jingshi, but it was only because of the affection of teachers and students, but he did not mean to reuse it, because the feelings of the so-called teachers and students were actually very light, very light. Therefore, what Li Fengji got was just a fictitious position as the secretary of the military department. This kind of position is usually used to reward those old ministers who are about to retire, or important ministers like Bai Juyi who have no chance to worship the prime minister, which can be regarded as a comfort. It seems that it is difficult for Li Fengji to help himself. Therefore, Li Fengji's return could not comfort the lonely Xiao Li at all, and Xiao Li was still very depressed.

But what really made Xiao Li depressed was the arrival of another person, this is a person named Wang Bo, his former official position was the envoy of the festival, the envoy of the Xichuan festival.

Once, Wang Bo was a scholar, a down-and-out scholar, so down-and-out that he needed to eat.

The place where Wang Bo eats is a temple, the name is Huizhao Temple, and Wang Bo lives in the Mulan Courtyard of Huizhao Temple. At that time, there were not many pilgrims in the temple, and it was quite quiet. Although the life is simple and the meals are vegetarian foods such as green vegetables and tofu, it is really a good place to study with peace of mind for a poor scholar.

There are many monks in the monastery, and every time it is time to eat, the monastery rings the bell as a trumpet. After hearing the bell, Wang Bo, a poor scholar, mingled with the monks, ate a little free vegetarian food, dealt with his hungry stomach, and then continued to study.

Time passed day by day, and the monks gradually lost patience with the guy who ate the white food, and decided to humiliate the guy who had robbed everyone of their food, and then let him go.

On this day, the temple bell rang a little later than usual, but Wang Bo, who was intoxicated by the sea of books, did not notice it. When the bell rang, he hurried to the dining hall as usual, only to find that the bowls and basins were already empty, and only some scraps remained.

Wang Bo looked around blankly, and was surprised to find the mocking eyes of the monks.

Wang Bo was not angry or ashamed, just smiled wryly and shook his head. Back at his residence, Wang Bo took out a pen and paper and inscribed two lines of poetry on the walls of the temple: "The upper hall has gone to the west and the east, and I am ashamed of Yan Li's bell after dinner." Then, pack your bags and drift away.

Time flies, and twenty years are just a flick of a finger, but the down-and-out scholar of that year has long been a high-powered executive. On this day, the proud spring breeze Wang Bo revisited the old place and came to the Huizhao Temple that once embarrassed him. He was surprised to find that the two lines of poetry he had inscribed on the walls of the temple had already been carefully protected with blue yarn. Looking back at the flattering smiling faces of the big and small monks, Wang Bo shook his head with a wry smile again, and continued with two lines of poetry: "Twenty years of dust, now I have a blue sarong."

At one time, Wang Bo, who came from a poor family, was an upright official and very upright. Everywhere he went, he made outstanding achievements and sang praises. In the last years of Zhenyuan, Wang Bo offended the powerful Jingzhao Yin Li Shi and was demoted to the Three Plains Order, and he was demoted at the same time as Wei Guanzhi, who was known as a strong and upright person.

The revenge of the traitor and the difficulty of his career did not dampen Wang Bo's ambition. After arriving in Sanyuan, he suppressed the strong and developed the economy, and made outstanding political achievements. Since then, Wang Bo has embarked on the road of Qingyun, and his official position has been promoted all the way, from a small Sanyuan Order all the way to the Ministry of Rites. In the sixth year of Yuanhe, Wang Bo got the fattest part-time job, the salt and iron transfer envoy of Zhudao, and began to control the imperial finances.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Wang Bo was squeezed out of Xichuan to serve as the envoy of the festival, not only lost the official position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but even the concurrently served salt and iron transport envoy was robbed by others. There are two people who snatched his official position and kicked him out of Chang'an, one is Huangfu Rong, and Qian Gu official Huangfu Rong; One is Cheng Yi, Yongzhen Yu Cheng Yi.

No one thought that this debasement would become a turning point in Wang Bo's life. Wang Bo, who was once upright, Wang Bo, who was once iron-clad, and Wang Bo, who was once jealous and hateful, seemed to have become a thing of the past overnight; In its place, there is a king who loots places, a king who welcomes the powerful, and a king who does whatever it takes to achieve the goal.

Now, the completely depraved Wang Bo has returned to Chang'an, with a large amount of gold beads and currency, and the position he wants to seek is the prime minister of the political hall.

Wang Bo and Huangfu Li are mortal enemies, and Huangfu and Xiao Li are sworn friends, so Xiao Li stood up indignantly and tried his best to obstruct Wang Bo from worshipping the prime minister. Don't say it, Xiao Li's obstruction is really useful, Wang Bo didn't get the prime minister he coveted in the end. However, although the effect is there, it is also limited, because Wang Bo still stayed in Chang'an, and the official position he got was the secretary of the Criminal Department, and at the same time, there was also a part-time job, the part-time job he once did, the salt and iron transfer envoy.

As long as he is not blind, no, even the blind can see that what is missing is time for the king to worship the prime minister.

Xiao Li could imagine what the future political hall would be like with his eyes closed: on the left stood Yuan Zhen, Ling Hu Chu's sworn enemy, of course, his Xiao Li's sworn enemy; On the right stood Wang Bo, the sworn enemy of Huangfu Li, and of course his sworn enemy of Xiao Li; Standing in the middle is Pei Du, Li Fengji's sworn enemy, and of course his Xiao Li's sworn enemy. It seems that if he does not abdicate early, sooner or later he will be bombarded by his political enemies.

Instead of suffocating and dominating the phase, it is better to leave in a chic manner.

The confidant was half-withered, the political opponent was full of court, and the disappointed Xiao Li had nothing to love, so he resolutely resigned as prime minister and left.

At this point, the three Jinshi in the seventh year of Zhenyuan who were Xuan He for a while finally disappeared in the same year, and they never set off a big storm again.
