Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But since this morning, the residents of Chang'an County have found that the former majestic Jinwuwei soldiers are gone, and have become soldiers in another costume, they wear black helmets, black thin armor, bows and arrows on their backs, and silver long knives on their waists, some soldiers are on foot, there are also cavalry teams, war horses, majestic and majestic, from the silver long knives Many residents of Chang'an County guessed their identity, they should be Qianniuwei, but their armor is completely different from Jinwuwei.

Soon, the truth was revealed, and notices were posted at the gates of Chang'an's streets, telling the people of Chang'an that from now on, Jin Wuwei is only responsible for the security inspection of Wannian County, and Chang'an County will be taken over by Qianniuwei.

That is to say, Chang'an County was taken over by the Anxi Army, this news made the people of Chang'an County rejoice, the Anxi Army has always been known for its strict military discipline, it is said that they set up a military discipline inspection office when they were in Guannei Road, strictly investigate the soldiers' disciplinary violations, when the news reached the West Market, the merchants were even more joyful, from morning to noon, the sound of firecrackers was endless.

In the morning, a young woman stood by a big tree near the Mingde Gate in Chang'an, and since early in the morning, she had been anxiously looking in the direction of the Mingde Gate, and she seemed to be waiting for someone.

If we draw our eyes closer, we will recognize that this young woman is the pearl, at this time the pearl is no longer the naughty girl a few years ago, she has grown into a pretty woman with a beautiful face and moon, compared with her sister Mingyue, her figure is slightly shorter, but the skin is snow-white, delicate as fat, pink as greasy, and the smile on both cheeks is like a rippling glow, so that passers-by all stop and look back, whose beautiful woman will this be?

She was not alone, and behind her stood several tall and strong women, each with a horse tied to it, and their eyes were fierce, and several disciples who wanted to come forward to talk to her were too frightened to approach.

Mingzhu was ordered by her mother to come here today to wait for Li Qing'an to enter the city, she had already inquired with the Qianniuwei soldiers, their general would be back this morning, at this time, a servant woman rushed from the Mingde Gate, panting and said, "Girl, here!" I saw his team coming! ”

Mingzhu was excited, looking forward to the direction of the city gate, a moment, began to have cavalry into the city, there were not many cavalry into the city, only more than five hundred people, soon, Mingzhu saw a wide carriage coming in from the city gate, she immediately ran up with a long skirt.

"Brother-in-law!"

She shouted, and several guards pointed spears at her, shouting, "Don't come close!" ”

"I'm looking for your general, he's my brother-in-law."

In the carriage, Li Qing'an was reviewing a few reports from Anxi, when he suddenly heard a young girl's voice, very familiar, he opened the curtain, and saw that it was Mingzhu outside, so he smiled at his soldiers: "Open the door, let her come up." ”

The carriage stopped, the door opened, and Mingzhu ran forward happily, "Brother-in-law, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Come on! Let's talk about it when we get in the car. ”

Li Qingan handed her his hand, gently pulled her into the carriage, Mingzhu got into the carriage, and waved his hand to several servants: "Aunt Liu, you go back first!" I'll be back on my own later. ”

Several servant women had no choice but to lead the horses away, the carriage door was closed, the team slowly marched again, in the carriage, Mingzhu sat down, and took out the bronze mirror to take a photo, fortunately, the sideburns were not messed up when she ran just now, she was relieved.

"What, do you want to pay attention to your appearance now?" Li Qingan brought Mingzhu a cup of tea and joked with her.

"What now, people used to pay attention to it, but you don't know."

Mingzhu glared at him, took two sips of tea, she looked at Li Qingan again, and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's been so long since you came back, why didn't you come to see your mother-in-law?" ”

"You don't know that I'm really busy, some time ago, when I was that right minister, I have to deal with such a high amount of paperwork every day."

Li Qingan made an exaggerated gesture and said with a smile: "It's not easy to push the position of that tired man to your uncle, but when you encounter a war again, no, I only came back today, and I want to see you several times, but I don't have time." ”

"And now? Do you have time now? ”

Li Qingan smiled: "It's better now, I'm going to see you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Li Qingan agreed, Mingzhu turned her anger into joy, and she said triumphantly: "Tell you, you won't come to see me again.. Everyone, I'll go to Anxi to find my sister, saying that you don't respect your elders. ”

After a pause, she asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, are you really not the right minister?" ”

"What's there to lie to you, I did resign."

"But... Isn't it good to be a right phase? My dad has thought about it for so many years, but he can't be it, and you still don't want to be it, no wonder my dad is so lost! ”

Li Qingan saw that she was so old and still full of childishness, so he smiled slightly and said, "Did you find your mother-in-law?" ”

Mingzhu blushed and said, "I want to, but no one wants me." ”

"Do you not want others, or do you want others?"

"It's all there! There are people who ask me to kiss, but I don't like it. ”

Mingzhu glanced at him, bit his lip lightly and said, "But I like it, but people don't look down on me, so what do you say?" ”

"Mingzhu, believe in fate, fate is here, it's yours, and you can't run away."

Li Qingan smiled and asked again, "You are in a hurry to find me, is there something wrong?" ”

Mingzhu saw that Li Qing'an opened the topic, she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, but after thinking about it again, she suddenly understood the fate that Li Qing'an said, and her heart suddenly poured into infinite hope, her eyes showed a joyful light, her round little mouth pouted slightly, and she said coquettishly: "Can't I come to you if it's okay?" ”

"Of course you can, but when you come to me, you run out secretly, and there won't be a servant with you, right?"

Pearl's flutter! He laughed and said, "You're smart, huh!" I was looking for you on business, and it was your mother-in-law who asked me to come, and she said that she had something important to discuss with you, so please come over today. ”

"No problem, I'm going to Daming Palace, you're staying in the carriage, I'll go back with you later."

Mingzhu heard that Li Qingan didn't drive him away, and his heart was full of joy, so he said: "I'm okay too, so I'll wait for you." ”

The carriage sped up, Li Qingan continued to review the documents, Mingzhu sat aside, pretending to hold a book in her hand, and a pair of delicate and lovely eyes secretly glanced at Li Qingan from time to time, at this time, she suddenly remembered something, so she whispered: "Brother Li, my mother was sick some time ago. ”

"What's wrong with her?" Li Qingan stopped his pen and asked.

"She misses her sister, although she didn't say it, but I understand her thoughts."

Li Qingan pondered for a moment, then smiled: "I also plan to let your sister come back, and the child, so that my grandmother can also see him." ”

"But... Isn't my brother-in-law worried about safety? ”

"Don't worry, the entire Chang'an County has been controlled by me, as long as the security is strengthened, there will be no problem with security, but you, I also hope that you can move to Chang'an County, so that I can rest assured."

"Actually, it's okay, my mother said that the lonely family also has a house in Taipingfang, and my brother-in-law can discuss it with my mother."

Li Qing'an nodded, at this time, the carriage stopped, and it had already arrived at the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace, Li Qing'an looked outside, and said with a smile: "You wait for me in the car, I should be able to come out soon." ”

"Brother-in-law, don't worry! I will wait for you. ”

Li Qing'an got out of the carriage and walked briskly under the escort of several personal soldiers.

．．．．．．． An hour later, Li Qing'an's carriage stopped in front of Dugu Mansion, Li Qing'an's arrival had already alarmed the old and young of Dugu Mansion, and twenty or thirty people from Dugu Mansion greeted him, and everyone laughed with a kind of enthusiastic and excessive sycophancy.

An old man with a white beard excitedly shook Li Qing'an's hand and said repeatedly: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, the day after tomorrow will be old and long, His Royal Highness must appreciate the light!" ”

Li Qingan couldn't remember who this old man was, it seemed to be an elder of the lonely family, Mingzhu whispered behind him: "This is the third grandfather!" ”

Li Qing'an suddenly remembered, Dugu Jing, the original Huazhou Taishou, had already retired, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The third master has a birthday, how can I not go, I must come." ”

"Well, we're up for sure, hey! Mingyue was the most beloved by me when she was a child, when will she be able to come back to see me, an old man who is about to enter the ground? ”

"Third master, don't worry, Mingyue will be back soon."

At this time, Dugu Haoran came over and smiled slightly at Li Qingan: "It's a coincidence today, there is a family meeting at home, and a large family is here with me." ”

Li Qingan bowed and saluted: "See Lord Yue!" ”

"It's all your own people, you're welcome, come! Come with me into the house, Mingyue's mother still has something to discuss with you! ”

Dugu Haoran is currently the East Palace Zhan Shi, that is, the head of the hundred officials of the East Palace, in terms of official position, this is also a high-ranking official belonging to the three products, but the emperor is young and has no prince, so he is also an idle official, there is nothing to do, and there is no power.

Although Dugu Haoran had a little unpleasant memories with Li Qingan in the past, it was already in the past, and now Lonely Haoran naturally fully supports his son-in-law, not only him, but their entire Dugu family will rely on Li Qingan in the future, this son-in-law is their family's golden rice bowl, how can they not hurry.

The Dugu family has always been a relative of the emperor and the country, and is one of the eight major families of the Sui and Tang dynasties, although they are not as talented as the Pei family and the Cui family, but they are also very well-connected, and the major families have marriages with each other, and most of the children of the Dugu family are also officials outside, there are three Taishou, seven county orders, and some low-level officials in the court, as for the county officials, the main book and the palace guards, etc., there are many people, and they also belong to the famous family of Chang'an.

Li Qingan also needs the support of this family, but it is not enough to just have the Dugu family, as well as the Pei family, the Lu family and the eldest grandson family, who have a good relationship with the Dugu family, etc., these big families will be the objects of Li Qing'an's struggle in the future.

Li Qing'an walked into the lobby surrounded by everyone, it was lunch time, everyone was preparing to eat, Dugu Haoran gave Li Qing'an a look, Li Qing'an arched his hand and smiled at everyone: "I'll talk to my father-in-law and mother-in-law first, and then come and have a few drinks with everyone later, everyone eats first, don't wait for me." ”

Everyone saw that Li Qing'an was humble and had a good impression of him, so they smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhao will go first, and we will come to toast later." ”

Li Qing'an smiled, and followed Dugu Haoran to the inner house, and after passing a door, Dugu Haoran saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered to Li Qing'an: "Qilang may not know yet!" Jingzong's death may be related to the prison state. ”

"Where did you get this news from my father-in-law?" Li Qingan asked quietly.

"My third uncle's grandson, is the third master you saw just now, his eldest grandson was one of the guards of the Huangzhuang at that time, just two days ago was released home, according to him, at that time the assassin did not approach the small building where Emperor Jingzong was located, Emperor Jingzong was poisoned and died, he shouted his father when he was dying, just at this time the Guanzhong army surrounded the entire Huangzhuang, and killed all the assassins cleanly, and it was the assassin who shot Emperor Jingzong with a poisoned arrow, which is very strange!"

Li Qing'an nodded and said, "Actually, I am also quite suspicious, Emperor Jingzong died, and the prison country was impatient to ascend the throne, which should have been a plan he had made a long time ago." ”

"Humph! Tiger poison doesn't eat children, but he even wants to kill his own son, where is the way of heaven? ”

Dugu Haoran was resentful in his heart, at this time, only to hear the sound of the ring in front of him, Mrs. Pei, who was wearing a thin brocade dress, walked over accompanied by her daughter Mingzhu, and happened to meet her husband and Li Qing'an, she smiled and said, "Why did Qilang come home today?" ”

Li Qingan has always been grateful to Mingyue's mother, it was she who withstood Li Longji's pressure and did not send Mingyue to the palace, if she didn't insist, he Li Qingan might hold a grudge for life.

Li Qingan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mother-in-law, my son-in-law is busy with court affairs, and I only returned to Chang'an today, please forgive my mother-in-law." ”

Mrs. Pei is just talking, she is now her mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, her son-in-law is not only the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, although he is the king of Zhao and has also done the Xiangguo, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, but he is not as unscrupulous as other clan magnates, accepts wives and concubines, and cares for her daughter, and her daughter marries such a husband, which is her blessing, Mrs. Pei smiled: "Let's talk first, we will go to dinner immediately." ”

Dugu Haoran also smiled: "Let's just say a few words, Qilang is still hungry!" ”

The husband and wife took Li Qing'an into the inner house, sat down, Mingzhu gave his parents and Li Qing'an a cup of tea each, Mrs. Pei glanced at her daughter in surprise, and couldn't help laughing: "This dead girl, actually went to tea, if it weren't for your brother-in-law, maybe I wouldn't want to drink your tea in my life." ”

Mingzhu was so embarrassed that her face was flushed, and she pushed her mother behind her and said, "Mother, don't talk nonsense, it's right to serve you tea!" ”

Dugu Haoran also smiled and said: "This shows that our pearl has finally grown up." ”

Li Qingan also smiled and said nothing, at this time, Mrs. Pei said: "Qilang, I heard Mingzhu just now that you plan to let Mingyue return to Beijing, is it true?" ”

Li Qingan nodded and said: "Actually, I have long had this plan, after all, I will return to Chang'an sooner or later, in the past, I was mainly worried about the safety of their mother and son, if I was not in Chang'an, I was worried that their mother and son would become hostages, but now I am not worried, in the future, the Anxi army will be stationed in Guanzhong, especially Chang'an County is also under my control, so that if something happens, they can also leave Chang'an calmly." ”

When Mrs. Pei saw that Li Qing'an really wanted her daughter to come back, she asked happily, "Then when will their mother and son come back?" ”

"I have already written back to Anxi, and there will be an army to escort them back, and it will take two or three months at the earliest!"

After a pause, Li Qingan said again: "And I also hope that my father-in-law and mother-in-law can move to Chang'an County, so that their mother and son can often live at home in the future." ”

Mrs. Pei and her husband glanced at each other, and said with a lonely smile: "Actually, I talked to your mother-in-law about this in the morning, since Chang'an County is controlled by a virtuous son-in-law, we naturally have to be clean, we also happen to have a house in Taipingfang, the size is about the same as here, so we will move to Taipingfang with the surname Suo." ”

Mrs. Pei thought that her daughter and grandson would come to live in the future, and it was indeed more convenient to live in Taipingfang, although she preferred this side, she still agreed, but her grandson was Li Qingan's eldest son and only son, but she couldn't be careless.

After saying these gossips, she turned the topic to today's topic, and Mrs. Pei smiled and said, "Qilang, I asked Mingzhu to come to you today, because I have an important matter to discuss with you." ”

"Mother-in-law, please speak!"

"That's the case, in five days it will be my uncle's seventy-fifth birthday, my uncle is the old Xiangguo Pei Kuan, his body has been getting worse and worse this year, and it is estimated that it will not last long, so the Pei family discussed, and they are ready to give the uncle a big birthday, Chong Chong Xi, then the major famous families in Chang'an will come to congratulate, this time the Pei family will elect a total of seven birthday organizers, including your uncle, your father-in-law will also participate in the preparation, but this time your father-in-law's health is not very good, Mingyue's eldest brother is not in Chang'an, Qilang, You are also half of the son-in-law of the Pei family, I want to trouble you about this matter, I don't know if you have time? ”

"I'll add one more thing."

Dugu Haoran next to him smiled and said: "Your mother-in-law told the Pei family to let you go for me, the Pei family unanimously agreed, they knew your influence and status, they all wanted to meet you, Qilang agreed!" ”

Li Qing'an was overjoyed, he understood the good intentions of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, they hoped that they could be accepted by the famous families in Chang'an, not just a strong warlord, and they could participate in the preparation of Pei Kuan's birthday ceremony, which meant that he could not only deepen the relationship with the Pei family, but also have extensive contact with the major famous families in the name of the Pei family, which was very important for his future events.

He thanked him heartily: "Thank you for the second elder's love for my son-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely do his best." ”

"Then tomorrow you will go to Pei's house first, and you can find your uncle first."

Mrs. Pei smiled and put a silver medal on the table, and said: "This is the silver medal of the organizer, with which you can enter and exit the Pei family at will, although there is no need, but you still take it!" ”

Speaking of this, she glanced back at Mingzhu again, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that you are not very familiar with the Pei family, Mingzhu often goes, and the Pei family likes her, so let her help you!" ”
