The stars twinkled in the sky, and the night was even deeper, Guo Ye came out of the Weiguo Mansion, braved the cold wind to wander around the city, and soon returned to the Hou Mansion in Taipingfang.

At this time, the door of the Hou Mansion was closed, and eighty percent of the people had gone to bed early.

Guo Ye knocked on the door of the Hou Mansion, he didn't want to alarm his subordinates too much, so he went back to sleep earlier.

But he saw that the porter stopped him, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, Lord Yu Shinan came to the house after dinner, and has been waiting for you in the study, but he still refuses to leave, saying that he has to see you." ”

Guo Ye was stunned and immediately rushed to the study, muttering secretly on the way, if you don't go back after this point, can Yu Shinan have something urgent to see me?

As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he didn't bother to knock on the door, and pushed the door directly, and saw Yu Shinan squatting next to the charcoal stove and roasting the fire to keep warm.

Seeing Guo Ye suddenly break in, Yu Shinan was also shocked to stand up, and the first thing he blurted out was to ask, "Why did you come back?" ”

Guo Yeqi said: "The boss is asking this strangely, this is my home, of course I want to come back." But you, my lord, why are you still working in my house in the middle of the night? ”

"No," Yu Shinan shook his head again and again, correcting, "The old man didn't mean that, the old man asked you, why did you return to Chang'an from Yangzhou?" Don't you know that without an edict, the state capitals are not allowed to return to Beijing without authorization? If those imperial historians know about this, they will have to join you tomorrow morning. ”

"Uh......"

Suddenly, Guo Ye's face also showed a little embarrassment, and he cried out in his heart with regret, damn, how could I be careless to this extent? How can such a taboo be forgotten?

The prefectures have assassinated the history, and the prefectures have been beaten to the governors, and they are not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict.

This is the charter that was set at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. This is not only a mandatory rule for local feudal officials, but also a kind of embankment guard for local officials by the emperor.

Alas, it is so careless, what a fool!

Guo Ye slapped his forehead violently, and he couldn't tell the matter of Yu Nuannuan's message, otherwise he would definitely provoke Yu Shinan's scolding. After all, committing such a big mess because of private affairs and because of a woman's affairs must be even more undeserved in Yu Shinan's eyes.

Yu Shinan saw that Guo Ye did not reply for a while, and then asked: "Didn't you also receive the news of Li Gangzhishi in Yangzhou?" Then he boldly returned to Chang'an, in order to make up for the lack of Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites? Guo Ye, Guo Ye, why don't you say that you are so worry-free, how long have you been in Yangzhou? Do you feel that you have done a few beautiful things in Yangzhou, and you can't hold back your loneliness and want to move your nest? Alas...... How do you let me say that you are good, urgent, too anxious, it's not a good sign to be in a hurry! ”

Wronged, Zhen Nyima wronged!

Guo Ye wanted to cry without tears, obviously Yu Shinan misunderstood himself, this old man thought that he ran back to Chang'an without permission to take the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and walked around in advance.

Immediately, Guo Ye was no longer silent, and hurriedly explained: "The old man misunderstood, the kid did not return to Beijing this time to make up for the lack of the Ministry of Rites. The kid himself is self-aware, although he has great ambitions, but he has shallow qualifications, which is the most criticized place. And if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, I understand this truth. Knowing that he can't do it, how can the kid rush forward as soon as his brain is hot, and others fight for this position? ”

Hearing Guo Ye say this, Yu Shinan's face softened slightly, nodded slightly and agreed with Guo Ye's words, and muttered: "It's good that you know." Then what did you do when you took the liberty to return to Chang'an? ”

Guo Ye had to lie and said: "A few days ago, didn't Wei Guogong Li Jing return to the dynasty with Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Li Maogong and other senior teachers? The old man should still remember that the kid led the army deep into the hinterland of Tibet, captured several cities in Tibet, and was finally trapped in Golmud City, right? ”

Yu Shinan nodded, indicating that he knew.

Guo Ye continued: "At the beginning, the boy and these seniors had an intersection because of the defense of Golmud City, especially the old general Li Jing had the virtue of helping the boy, and because the boy wrote a military book back then, called "Ji Xiao New Book", which was quite loved by Li Weigong. Therefore, after General Li returned to Chang'an, he sent someone to pass on a message, saying that he wanted to see me. No, the famous Tang Dynasty military gods were summoned, and the kid rushed back to Chang'an recklessly as soon as his brain was hot. ”

A small white lie directly prevaricated the matter of escorting Yu Nuannuan back to Fuyu and Li Jing's borrowing of special forces.

Yu Shinan did not question Guo Ye's statement, on the contrary, his face was a little strange, he frowned slightly, and pondered: "Although Li Jing is famous all over the world and is the first person in my Tang Army, he has always been alone and has never formed a gang, so he has won the trust and reuse of His Majesty."

And Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Li Maogong were all born in Wagangzhai back then, and they all belonged to the old ministers of Tiance Mansion with the eldest grandson Wuji and others. But as far as the old man knows, they secretly form a small group of themselves, and there is a shadow of the powerful gentry of Shandong behind them. The Guanlong clan with the eldest grandson Wuji and others has always been inseparable, and sooner or later they will fall apart. Guo boy, you can have intersections with them, and you can all get along with them, which is not easy. Maybe one day, at a critical time, they can help you, and they can also help these people in our Shilin Qingliu lineage. After all, the military's strength has always been in urgent need of overture and wooing. ”

Guo Ye snorted, he deeply agreed with Yu Shinan's comprehensive and sharp analysis, in the end, ginger is still old and spicy, and the eyes of the old ministers of the Huan Hai Ups and Downs are vicious.

However, Yu Shinan was still a little worried about Guo Ye's private return to Beijing, and said with some dissatisfaction: "But how could Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, make such a low-level mistake? Doesn't he know that calling you back to Chang'an without permission will bring endless trouble? If the old man didn't pass by your Hou Mansion by accident and saw the people in your mansion busy coming in and out, he would know that you were back after asking. No, the old man was worried that the eldest grandson Wuji would know about your return, and then made a big fuss, so he has been waiting for you to return in your house, so as to remind you. Alas, Li Weigong is reckless in this matter!"

Yu Shinan waited from dusk to midnight, just to remind himself? Guo Ye's heart was full of emotion, it seems that Yu Shinan has been the most sincere and selfless care for himself from the first day of acquaintance.

However, he also deeply regretted that Li Jing was innocently lying on the ground and was shot by Yu Shinan for a while. There's no way, this thing really can't poke the fish out of Nuan Nuan, otherwise Lao Yu's head will really be endless.

So, he had to change the topic and said: "Boss, in fact, although it is a bit reckless to come back this time, it is also a good place. This time, Wei Guogong summoned the boy into his mansion and talked until late at night before letting me return, maybe promising me a benefit. Hehe, he will propose to the emperor that I be transferred back from Yangzhou and promoted to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites. Although he did not have the honor of the Ministry of Rites, the position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites was also prominent. In time, my lord, I will be able to stand with you on the same side and fight side by side! ”

"Oh?"

Yu Shinan tugged his beard and was slightly surprised, glanced at Guo Ye with wide eyes, and subconsciously shouted: "There are still such benefits?" ”

After finishing speaking, he nodded to himself and muttered: "Yes, with Li Jing's status today, it is definitely more than enough for you to ask the emperor for the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites." It seems that he really appreciates you. Yes, this is your blessing. ”

Guo Ye smiled happily: "Right? I don't know where I'm so shiny that I can make people admire Joss! So, although it was a bit reckless to come back, the benefits were also great. Alas, I went to Yangzhou for more than half a year, and I can finally go back to Chang'an. ”

Yu Shinan snorted, his face suddenly sank, and he feigned anger: "The more you reach the critical juncture of this promotion, the more you must pay attention, and you can't make a mistake to make people catch their sore feet." Guo Ye, taking advantage of the fact that it is dark now, you hurry up and return to Yangzhou with your servants, and don't continue to stay in Chang'an. ”

"Huh? Out of Chang'an in the middle of the night? ”

Guo Ye was surprised* and exclaimed: "Boss, what time is this, you let me go out of Chang'an and return to Yangzhou?" It's too late to come back tomorrow, and it's better to sleep at home in the middle of the night. ”

Yu Shinan waved his hand and shook his head again and again, refusing: "No, no, for the sake of insurance, while the eldest grandson Wuji and they have not received the news of your return, you hurry out of the city and return to Yangzhou." ”

"Boss, this ......"

"Don't procrastinate, go now, and ride out of the city overnight. Wait for the holy decree to come down to Yangzhou, and it will not be too late for you to come back! ”

"But ......"

"Guo Ye, do you have to ask the old man to take a broom and kick you out?"

"But sir, this is my mansion?"

"Bastard, are you leaving?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go out of the city now, don't get angry, stop being angry, stop being angry......"

After about a short while, Zhang Jiujin and Wang Bajin, who were sleepy-eyed and yawning again and again, were woken up from their sleep by Guo Ye and pulled out of the warm bed.

Soon, three people and three horses, stepping on the cold night, rushed towards the outside of Chang'an City.

This time Guo Ye returned to Chang'an, entered the city during the day, and went out of the city at night, staying for less than ten hours, he hurriedly went out of the city and returned to Yangzhou in the south.
