The Zhibo Canal outside Jinyang City was dug by Zhibo when he dug the river to irrigate Jinyang. Although it is only May now, the climate is like fire, it has not rained for a long time, the puddle of Zhibo Canal is only a few feet deep, and the fields on the bank of the canal are like needles, and the fields are already cracked. Hundreds of people are kneeling and praying for rain at the Dragon King Temple.

A carriage slowly walked from the post road, and a woman in the carriage opened the curtain, glanced at the people begging for rain in the fields outside the car, and couldn't help sighing: "If it doesn't rain this day, how should the people live?" ”

"Yun Niang, the people in troubled times are suffering, and it is not easy for us." Another peerless woman in the carriage said leisurely, the other party was Qu Yanran, a famous prostitute in the east and west.

"The eastern capital is full of Zhu Zigui, but no one is worried about the world, either they only know how to compete for fame and fortune in the government and the opposition, or they are relying on the red and green generations, I am tired of welcoming the people who are sent all the year round, I heard that the warlock in the neighborhood said, Jinyang has a royal spirit, this time I was invited by the prince of Tang to congratulate the completion of Jinyang Palace, and I can also see one or two heroes in Taiyuan." Yun Niang pursed her lips and smiled.

"Yingjie." Qu Yanran suddenly thought a little.

Seeing Qu Yanran's reaction, Yun Niang smiled and said, "Did you think of someone?" ”

Qu Yanran glanced at Yun Niang angrily, and Yun Niang smiled at the moment: "I know that you are thin-skinned, and you still can't make jokes." ”

Qu Yanran whispered: "People don't take me in the slightest, what kind of identity I am, I know it in my heart." ”

Yun Niang listened to the words and said: "My good daughter, she is sour again, where is this, if you are willing to nod, which son does not want to marry you, don't say far, just now, every time this prince of Tang sees you, his eyes are shining." Qu Yanran shook her head, was silent, and then the carriage went straight to Jinyang City.

Jinyang Taiyuan stayed in the mansion, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng father and son, were talking in the study, and the subordinates on the side were far away. Li Yuan slowly tapped the desk with his hand, obviously having something difficult.

Li Jiancheng said: "Dad, the meaning of Dr. Si Li's letter is Duguji, Si Li is engaged in secret music, and the champion Hou rashly beheaded the whole family of Cheng Chengchong in Feihu County, but there is a monopoly on power, plotting bad deeds, and Gao Kaidao, Dou Jiande and others secretly communicate with each other, colluding with thieves, and asking us how to deal with it." ”

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Bishamen, what do you think of this?" ”

Bishamen is Li Jiancheng's small character, only to listen to Li Jiancheng's words: "Dad, you don't know, the local division is engaged in, what kind of turbidity and promotion of the ability to promote the clean, there are so many local thieves at the moment, do not catch them, but specialize in chasing the wind and catching shadows, and there is nothing to do." Duguji's meaning is also very clear, Li Chongjiu was born in a cold family, no one is behind him, he Dugu is a family of his own, how can he let these children of the poor family who have no foundation take the position, so Duguji wants to move him, but he is afraid that our Li family has something to do with him, so he came to know the letter and explore the way. ”

Li Yuan nodded approvingly and said, "You have indeed become more and more experienced in the ability to judge things recently, and you have made progress. ”

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly, he is the son of the Li family, and he will inherit his father's name in the future, so he is highly expected, but the next brother and sister are very outstanding, and it is inevitable that he also has a sense of competition. Now Li Yuan praises, and Li Jiancheng is of course happy.

"So what do we do with it, in your opinion?" Li Yuan obviously had a plan in his heart, but asking this question was obviously the ability of the principal to deal with it.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Dad, although Li Chongjiu has been close to our Li family in recent years, the distinction between master and slave has not been decided, outsiders may seem to him to be a member of our Li family, but whether he sees it this way, Li Chongjiu himself has always been ambiguous. I think I can use this matter to pressure him and force him to beg our Li family for help. Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng, but he didn't say anything, and seemed to be thinking in his heart.

At this time, outside the door, someone reported: "Childe, everyone Qu Yanran has arrived in Jinyang City." Li Jiancheng heard Qu Yanran's name, his expression was shocked, and he showed joy.

"Qu Yanran? Pipa line? Li Yuan glanced at his son's expression and said with a smile.

"Exactly. This time, the child invited everyone from the Eastern Capital, and invited him to show his opera skills in order to celebrate the completion of Jinyang Palace. Li Jiancheng said.

"Qu everyone?" Li Yuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid you want to see her, I heard that you have visited the famous flower under the moon many times at night in the Eastern Capital, right?" ”

Li Jiancheng's face couldn't help but change slightly when he heard this, Li Yuan waved his hand, flicked his sleeves, and said with a laugh: "Bishamen, you don't have to be restrained, my father was also young, which man's ambition does not start with a woman at the beginning." Your father was much more graceful than you when he was younger, but you have to remember that you are different from those gentlemen, you have to be able to grasp women, not let women lead you, you know? ”

Li Yuan said that, Li Jiancheng listened, breathed a sigh of relief, changed his smile and said: "Father, don't worry, the child has his own measure." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Dad, this time you will build Jinyang Palace for the imperial court within 100 days, the sage Longyan Dayue will not say, which official in Jinyang will not accept your ability to do things, this time Julu Gong will congratulate the completion of Jinyang Palace and offer five hundred taels of gold to congratulate." ”

"Five hundred taels of gold, what a big deal the Chai family." Li Yuan pinched his beard and said.

Li Jiancheng said: "Dad, according to the child, doesn't the Chai family give you face?" Everyone knows that this Jinyang Palace was built by you. But I think the Chai family is so attentive, and it's also for the third sister. Li Yuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and was silent. Li Jiancheng knew that his father had his own opinions and opinions on everything, and he generally did not talk to others in his heart, and he did not speculate about his opinions on the Chai family at the moment.

"Where is the giant deer now?" Li Yuan asked suddenly.

"I'm resting in the mansion."

"Let's ask him to come over tomorrow to see you." Li Yuan said.

"Yes." Li Jiancheng replied.

At that moment, Li Yuan took a sip of strong tea, turned his head and said, "Bring all the famous thorns, don't let the people outside wait." ”

At this moment, in the official hall of the Taiyuan Left-behind Mansion, people are full. Li Yuan, as a left-behind guard in Taiyuan, is only one step away from opening the mansion and building a tooth, and now he is in control of the four counties of Bingzhou, and he is a high authority. Therefore, in the outer hall, there were dozens of officials and officials from various counties, all of whom had already sent their names to the door, and then they were told that Tang Cheng was busy with official business, so he asked them to stay for a while. So they all held their breath here, waiting for Li Yuan's summons. In May, the weather was getting a little hotter and hotter, and the officials in the official hall were sitting on the stools in heavy official uniforms, their foreheads sweating slightly. Everyone wiped their sweat with handkerchiefs, and the entourage behind them also made fans, and the servants of the Li family had already served buttermilk for the officials to quench their thirst.

At this moment, Li Hu was also waiting on a stool in a corner of the official hall, and sitting next to him was Sima Liu Zhenghui of Taiyuan Kaiyang Mansion. Kaiyang Mansion is one of the Eighteen Eagle Yang Mansions in Taiyuan, and it is currently controlled by Li Yuan.

Liu Zhenghui handed Li Hu a white towel to wipe his sweat, and said: "Mr. Li, it's better to let me go alone in this matter, don't worry, Champion Hou and Li Ergongzi are friends, just look at Li Ergongzi's face, I will do my best to come, you can wait for the news at the inn with peace of mind." ”

Li Hu hurriedly said: "How dare you let Liu Sima be here alone, if Tang Gong agrees in a while, if you have something to ask, I can answer." ”

Liu Zhenghui shook his head slightly, and said in his heart that such a request for marriage was of course commendable, but he was only slightly self-defeating. Just as Liu Zhenghui was about to speak, a young man in an official robe said, "Brother Liu, fortunately, fortunately." ”

Liu Zhenghui also stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Yin, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Hearing Liu Zhenghui speak, Li Hu also raised his head to look, but he was almost startled, it turned out that this person was Yin Kaishan, the county commander of Shiai County, who had arrested 7,000 villages back then. He even waited with him. However, Yin Kaishan obviously didn't recognize Li Hulai, but he and Liu Zhenghui were chatting and laughing. After the two said a few words, Yin Kaishan sat down on the side.

At that moment, there was an official in the inner hall, who was fluttering out with big sleeves, and when all the officials present saw someone coming out, they all raised their heads and put down their fans to see if Tang Gong sent someone to summon them.

"Brother Zhaoren." Liu Zhenghui stood up and said with a smile, and Li Hu also stood up with him.

As soon as the other party saw someone calling him, he squinted at the moment, so he smiled, strode over, and stepped forward to say: "It turned out to be Brother Zhenghui, what kind of wind blew you here." ”

Li Hu saw that this person was in his forties, with three long beards, and his demeanor was calm and chic, quite the demeanor of a wise man. Liu Zhenghui also returned the favor and said: "Naturally, there is something important, can Tang Gong have time?" The two know each other very well, and they have obviously been friends for many years.

The other party said lazily: "Tang Gong has been busy with the completion of Jinyang Palace recently, and he has just talked to the eldest prince in the study, why if Brother Liu has something to see, he can directly follow me into the inner hall, why wait here." ”

At that moment, Liu Wenjing took Liu Zhenghui's hand and went directly into the inner hall.

After arriving at the inner hall, this person asked a scribe, "Please tell Tang Gong, just say that I have an important guest here." ”

The scribe nodded, and immediately went to report it. The other party said: "There are still important things to do, so I can't accompany each other, so I will go to drink at the political meeting on another day." With that, he arched his hand and left immediately.

Li Hu couldn't help but ask about the details of this person, and Liu Zhenghui immediately said: "This person is Jinyang Ling, surnamed Liu Wenjing, resourceful and a henchman relied on by Tang Gong, and can freely enter and leave Tang Gong's mansion, not only has I been friends for many years, but also appreciates Li Ergongzi." Li Hu nodded suddenly when he heard this, this time he begged for marriage, and Li Chongjiu asked Li Shimin to write a letter. As a result, Li Shimin happened to be not in Jinyang, so he asked Liu Zhenghui to contact him and act as the official media, but whether he could agree depends on Li Yuan's intentions.
