Imperial Palace Kobunkan!

Du He smiled and walked into the museum. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yu Wenxuan, the bachelor in charge of the Hongwenguan library, greeted with a smile and said, "Lord Du hasn't been here for a long time!" ”

Du He smiled calmly: "It's been almost half a month, and I've been busy with Jiangnan affairs recently, and I didn't find a little spare time until today." Just some time ago, when I was reading "Historical Records", I read about the contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and I was very interested in the cultural atmosphere at that time. It's a pity that the first emperor burned them clean with a fire, and there are only a handful of ancient books that have been handed down, and then they were influenced by the Confucianism of Emperor Wu's dynasty, and there are even fewer left. ”

Yu Wenxuan is the son of Yu Zhining, one of the eighteen bachelors in the past, with his outstanding talent, his son inherited his father's business, wrote decrees for the imperial court, repaired rituals, compiled historical records, and took care of the Hongwen Pavilion.

The Tang Dynasty is one of the few open-minded capitals in the past dynasties, although the culture is still dominated by Confucianism, but it does not exclude other doctrines, listening to Du He talk about Confucianism, Yu Wenxuan did not feel rude, but agreed: "The first emperor did cover the world, but this book burning almost destroyed the crystallization of the ancestors before this, it is a pity." However, some people in the world do not want to see the disappearance of the culture left by their ancestors, and hide some precious books. There are still some that have been handed down to future generations. On the third floor, on the bookshelf in the upper right corner, there are some solitary books left over from that time. I think Du-sama will be interested. But you have to be careful, it's all lonely, and it's a pity to break it. ”

"Thanks!" Du He said hello and walked upstairs to the Hongwen Pavilion. He already knew that those ancient books left over from the pre-Qin period were stored on the third floor, so he just told Yu Wenxuan to go up to the third floor.

I went up to the third floor, turned to the window, and called out.

The shadow flashed, and Gongsun Yeyue floated down from the window, "It's so slow! She was condescending on the roof, she could see and hear in all directions, and her every move around her could not escape her eyes, and she had already seen Du He enter the Hongwen Pavilion, but she waited for a long time before she heard his notice.

Du He smiled and said, "I chatted with Yu Wenxuan!" ”

Gongsun Yeyue's eyes didn't stop on Du He, and she wanted to speak again, "That'...... Did I bring me what I wanted? ”

Alone on the roof, it was really boring, Du He came back from the dragon gate, waited for a long time, confirmed the safety, and then brought food to her, on the way passed by a bookshelf, selling those novels circulating in the market, on a whim brought her a copy, let her relieve her boredom.

I didn't know that Gongsun Yeyue was unexpectedly good at this, and every time I had to nag a few words and ask him to bring more books.

But this time Duhe didn't bring anything, not even food.

"No need!" Du He looked at Gongsun Yeyue, who was a little stunned, and said: "It's been a few months, in the eyes of the world, the possibility of you being in the palace is very small, the guards of the palace have recovered from the past, and your mastery of the glider should also have a certain level, tonight is the time for you to leave the palace, congratulations, the most difficult days have passed, you can ***." ”

"Ahh Gongsun Yeyue snorted, her face was excited and a little complicated. Being able to leave this cage-like place, what I've been dreaming about since the moment I've been trapped here, but now that I hear that I can leave, I think back to these times of getting along, and I don't know why I have a faint feeling of nostalgia and reluctance in my heart.

Seeing that she was dumbfounded, Du He quipped: "It won't be happy to be stupid!" Still reluctant? ”

"Who...... Who can't bear it? Gongsun Yeyue was like a frightened kitten, jumping up nervously, blushing as if smeared with a layer of fat powder: "You are ...... Woo woo...... "Before she could speak, her hand had sealed his mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Du He was so frightened that he hurriedly gagged her and said, "My aunt, this is not the place for you to lose your temper. If we find out, we'll all be finished! ”

Gongsun Yeyue blinked, and motioned with his eyes for him to take his hand away.

Du He withdrew his hand, listened carefully to the movements around him, and was relieved to see that there was nothing abnormal.

Gongsun Yeyue said angrily: "It's not you who hurt you, talk nonsense!" ”

Du He surrendered: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, anyway, after today, I don't know when I will see you again in the future." When the time comes, you won't be able to hear it if you want to. ”

Gongsun Yeyue's delicate body shook slightly, lowered her head and said: "Who wants to listen, your ears are cleaner if you don't speak!" ”

"Okay, let's not say it, the last few words." Du He handed her a piece of paper and said: "This is a simple topographic map, which records the route from here to Furong Garden, in the early hours of tonight, you just need to fly east, I will arrange someone to light a torch in a wide place to show you the way, and then everything is up to their orders, I have already arranged everything, and I have also prepared a disguise mask for you, so that you can leave Chang'an safe and sound." If you leave Chang'an, don't come back in the short term, you are too famous here, many officials have seen you, wait for time to dilute everything! ”

Gongsun Yeyue took the paper, but did not speak.

Du He smiled and said, "Then I'll go first, and there will be a period later!" ”

"Wait......" Just as he turned to leave, Gongsun Yeyue suddenly shouted, opened his mouth, stopped talking, and finally said softly: "Thank you!" ”

Du He made a gesture and left with a smile.

Gongsun Yeyue was silent for a long time, and then he sighed, returned to the roof, looked at Du He's distant figure below, and sighed again.

Zhao Guogong Mansion!

The eldest grandson Wuji put down the things in his hand, stretched his waist, twisted his fat body, and there was a dull sound of joint friction in his sedentary body.

He could only be regarded as slightly fat, but now he has completely grown into a fat man, and his appearance is more and more like Maitreya Buddha, a kind and honest face, a kind and kind smile, and his eyes are narrowed into a slit when he laughs, plus a big fat belly like a pregnant woman for ten months, and it is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha who is alive.

A year and a half has passed since the three-year period, and in this year and a half, the eldest grandson Wuji has done a lot of things.

He is not the kind of person who admits defeat, let alone the kind of person who can't afford to lose.

In the defeat a year and a half ago, he lost convincingly, but it was precisely because of this convincing that he had a higher evaluation of Duhe.

In the past year and a half, he put aside all the things in the court, secretly overcontrolled the connections and money accumulated over the years, recruited all kinds of talents, and collected them for his own use.

With his clever means, in the past year and a half, like Meng Weijun, he has gathered a large number of talents in his hands, including roosters and dog thieves, loyal and brave people, and even more insidious and cruel people. It is true that the strength of the DPRK and China has been weakened by not having contact with the outside world for a long time, but the strength in their hands has indeed increased greatly because of their efforts over the past few years, and there are gains and losses.

The eldest grandson Wuji is very clear and very sensible, Du He is now full-fledged, and his status in the court can be described as a rapid progress, which is self-evident from the past. As long as the development of Jiangnan is successful, Du He's real power in the court will be better than that of him, a high-ranking Sikong who has no real power.

At that time, there was Li Shimin in the court to support it, and Shangshu Province led by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui advanced and retreated with it, and there were people like Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, and Cheng Yanjin to protect it, and even Wei Zheng changed his attitude towards it because of the development of Jiangnan Li in the future, and he could also help him at a critical time. If you want to knock him down openly in the court, there is almost no possibility. Unless he commits an irreparable transgression, which is very unlikely.

Because Du He is getting more and more old on the field, the speed of growth even the old bird like Sun Wuji is palpitating.

The only way is to make a trick behind the scenes, which requires a lot of talents, and the actions of these years are just to prepare for a comeback in a year and a half.

"I wonder how the plan for the ever-million is going?" The eldest grandson Wuji's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, and his brain was spinning fast. This raises a large number of capable people, and it is indispensable to ask for white silver. Tang Dynasty officials were not allowed to do business, and he could only open some shops and industries in the background to make a profit. Among them, the most profitable is the million-dollar gambling house, which is one of his most important sources of wealth.

However, with the development of these years, the number of talented people has increased, and the income of some of the industries he has supported has been dwarfed, and he needs a new source of income.

In this regard, he took a fancy to the huge profits of samurai tea, as long as he could get the recipe of samurai tea, he was confident to support the new tea shop and crush the samurai tea. It's just that he couldn't imagine that the martial arts family was extremely difficult to deal with, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the formula, and he couldn't force it, so he could only sigh with hope.

Chang Million seized this opportunity to make him very pleased, as long as he can get the samurai tea, it is more effective than obtaining a paper formula. Then he will not have to worry about money.

It's just that for some reason, I always feel a little unsteady in my heart, is it that I am too worried, or is there really a situation?

The eldest grandson Wuji thought about the relationship between the martial arts family and Du He, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think that my eldest grandson Wuji has lived for most of his life, every time I think of Du He, a hairy boy, I will feel stunned in my heart, which is ridiculous." ”

"Uncle!" The eldest grandson walked into the study at this time.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "You came just in time, tell your uncle about what unusual behavior Du He's kid has done recently!" ”

The eldest grandson said: "There is nothing, most of them are dealing with the development of Jiangnan in Shangshu Province, and there is nothing abnormal." Having said that, this kid Yanfu is really not shallow, he married Princess Changle and the Lord of Snow Goose, and now he is going to marry Wu Meiniang again, the three of them are all rare beauties! ”

"What? Marrying Wu Meiniang? The eldest grandson Wuji stood up movingly, realizing the crisis, and his expression changed drastically.
