"I'm sorry, Brother Duff, I didn't expect this to be the case."

Out of the door of the Han Dynasty Sect's house, Ye Chang and Gao Shi did not rush to get on the horse, but held the reins and walked slowly along the street.

Originally, he was looking for Han Chaozong to recommend Gao Shi, but because he didn't inquire about the news carefully, Gao Shi was involved in a political storm. If the operation is not good, it is very likely that the career of Gao Shi will also be affected by this.

The streets of Chang'an City, after more than two years of renovation by Han Chaozong, have completely improved. Such a street has been paved with cement, and the big trees on both sides of the street cast shade at the feet of the two people.

Because it is close to the New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year on the street is very lively, and many anxious people have already posted couplets - this New Year's custom advocated by Ye Chang has swept the entire Central Plains in just two years. This is the Tang Dynasty, and it is the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of popular elements and cultures can be recognized and sought after in a very short time.

This is the best era, but also the bad era, the undercurrent in the court is turbulent, and those who are not in it can't understand how much risk there is.

Gao Shi can be regarded as experiencing this risk up close today.

"Han Gong's words, although there are still reservations, but there is one point, he has been Jing Zhaoyin in the past few years, and Chang'an City has been much better in all aspects. Although he was at fault, he didn't deserve to die, let alone let villains like Huo Xianqi profit from it. Gao Shi didn't comment on his involvement: "It's just that Eleven Lang is very full of words, and I'm afraid it's not easy for me to really handle it." Huo Xianqi and Ji Wen are both from the field of accumulated officials, but they are not as easy to deal with as Yuan Zai and Wang Maha. ”

The most difficult to deal with is Li Linfu behind them.

"This matter is not in a hurry, Han Gong's path is not going through, we have to find the rest, someone has to present your name to the saint...... It's a bit difficult, who has the ability and reliability to do so? ”

Ye Chang also had a headache at this time, and only then did he realize that there were too few people he could rely on in the court. The limited support of the eldest princess of Yuzhen gave him a certain ability to protect himself and fight back, but he really wanted to make his voice heard in the court, and he couldn't do it.

On Li Shizhi's side, Ye Chang didn't plan to go, he was at odds with Li Shizhi's son, so naturally he wouldn't be bored. The eldest princess of Yuzhen will not directly intervene in the government affairs, so there are no big names who may be recommended now.

"You don't have to be too embarrassed, our credit is there, Huangfu Weiming and Bian Lingcheng have all the twists and turns, but no one recommends me, and I have to be given an official position this time." Gao Shi saw him like this and said with a smile.

Ye Chang was a little ashamed, if he didn't come to Han Chaozong today, it would be easy to find other officials to help. But when it comes to Han Chaozong, it's not easy for others to go.

"Han Gong just had an accident here, and there is a warm and cold person over there, no wonder he looks like this... Just now, he never mentioned Li Xiang. Ye Chang mentioned this detail again.

"Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid that Li Shizhi's side didn't lend any help." Gao Shi pouted: "Why did we come to see him, Han Gong was so excited and happy?" ”

Ye Chang smiled bitterly, can you not be happy, during the few days that Han Chaozong was at home, people from all sides were afraid to avoid him, for fear of being implicated by him, and even Li Shiyi, who had always had a friendly relationship with him, had no one to lend a helping hand. Although Li Shizhi and others are trying to protect themselves, they must also see that Li Linfu is behind this matter, so they can do this...... After all, it made Han Chaozong's heart cold.

Under such circumstances, Ye Chang and Gao Shi came to visit him, which was a gesture to send charcoal in the snow.

"In your opinion, how do you lend a hand?" Gao Shi asked again.

"It's just a little idea, how to do it, and we have to see the situation on the other side......

Ye Changfang just probed Han Chaozong's tone, he was already discouraged about his career, and he only wanted peace. Ye Chang felt that there was still a certainty of keeping him safe, after all, Han Chaozong should have died a good death in his memory, not to be executed.

Thinking of this, Ye Chang said to Gao Shi: "This matter can't be delayed, if you wait for the will of the palace to come down and then run, it will be too late." Gao Gong, you go back and rest for a while, and I'll go and see Wan Nian Wei Jiwen. ”

"Ji Wen, Liang Bo Xiao'er, in the past, you relied on Han Gong's protection, he treated you with courtesy, but now Han Gong treats sin, you go to see him again, I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to make trouble and humiliate you." Gao Shi persuaded: "And he can't say anything about this matter......"

"He can't say it, Li Linfu can say it." Ye Chang has made up his mind: "Ji Wen is suspicious, if I take the initiative to find him, he will not dare to move, he is a person who has seen my methods." ”

Seeing that he was so confident, Gao Shi no longer persuaded him, but just told him to be more careful, and asked Nan Jiyun who followed him to pay attention, and if there was anything wrong, he would come back to report the news. Nan Jiyun smiled, if there was any mistake, Yu Crisp would protect Ye Chang and escape, I believe that with the means of him and Shanzhi, there is no problem in rushing out of dozens of errands.

The Wannian County stable was in the west of the city, and when Ye Chang arrived, it was already noon. He asked the messenger to go in and make a sound, and the messenger took him a small half of a string of copper coins, but he ran very diligently, but it took a long time to come out, and his originally affectionate expression became extremely cold.

"Where did you come from, Shaofu said, if you want to do it, you should also go to Jingzhao and other powerful people, and come to him to do something"

The messenger threw Ye Chang's name back, Nan Jiyun was furious, and he was about to attack, but was stopped by Ye Chang.

"If it's your own business, the seizure will happen, but for the sake of Han Gong, bear with it for the time being." Ye Changdao.

Nan Jiyun was no longer surprised by Ye Chang's changeable temper at this time, seeing Ye Chang pick up the thorn, he then took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "County Lieutenant Ji, you have no place to be buried."

Its solidarity and solidarity went straight to the clear sky.

Nan Jiyun only felt that his face was like a date: Ye Shiyi, you are so forbearant for Han Gong

But it's strange to say, Ye Chang shouted three times and was about to leave, how dare the messenger let him go again, he stepped forward to stop him, and at this moment, a person hurriedly ran out from inside: "The county lieutenant invited Ye Langjun to come in and see him." ”

Ye Chang pushed away the errand and entered proudly, Nan Jiyun and the monk glanced at each other, the monk spread his hand, indicating that he didn't know what was going on, and at the same time muttered in a low voice: "Maybe some people are cheap, and they have to scold to see each other......"

Of course, Ji Wen is not cheap, and he has to be scolded by Ye Chang to be willing to meet.

Ye Chang's scolding is an attitude, indicating that if Ji Wen is gone, he will face Ye Chang's hole cards next. Ye Chang still dared to scold at this time, proving that he had some support, Ji Wen's temperament was insidious and suspicious, so he naturally wanted to come out to test it.

"What a bold man, he scolded me before my office." As soon as he saw Ye Chang, Ji Wen said coldly.

"That's natural, I heard that Ji Gong will die soon, I came to mourn, but I didn't let me in, such a faux pas, isn't Ji Gong afraid of not being at peace after death?"

The gloomy anger in Ji Wen's eyes flashed: "I don't know what is dead or alive, Ye Chang, do you think that with the eldest princess of Yuzhen, you can really be lawless?" ”

"No, it's enough for the eldest princess of Yuzhen to protect me, but if you want to move a 10,000-year-old captain, it's not enough...... Someone can touch you, though. ”

"Who?"

Ye Chang looked at Ji Wen with a smile, Ji Wen took a breath, calmed his anger, and suppressed his voice: "What do you know?" ”

"Ji Gong is still on duty so late, he is really a model for my court officials." Ye Chang got up at this time: "This is an official office, Ye has some private matters to find Ji Gong, so let's wait until Ji Gong finishes his official duties...... Farewell. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned away and did not stay any longer. However, in his own heart, he was secretly calculating that if after ten steps, Ji Wen still did not keep him, then needless to say, Ji Wen's way would not work, and he had to think of another way.

One, two, three, no sound behind him.

Four, five, six, there was a voice behind him, but it was a disdainful sneer.

The frequency of Ye Chang's steps did not change, and then he took the seventh and eighth steps, and Ji Wen watched his actions behind him, although the laughter was still there, the expression on his face froze.

Step 9.

"Wait ...... slowly" Ji Wen saw that Ye Chang was already about to walk out of the door, and finally couldn't help but shout.

Ye Chang turned his head and clenched his fists with a smile: "This is not the place to speak, if Ji Gong really wants to teach me, I will be able to wait for Xiang Xuehai." ”

"Officials of the imperial court are not allowed to come and go at will...... Bazaar ......"

Before Ji Wen's words were finished, Ye Chang had already disappeared from his sight. Geven's face was gloomy, he looked out the door, then glared at the corner of the wall.

"If you have heard enough, if you have heard enough, let me go"

The officer, who had been hiding outside the wall, jumped up in surprise and slammed his head against the plank, making a tom-tom sound. Ji Wen wondered what Ye Chang was going to say, and he didn't bother to bother with them, so he just snorted again.

The servants immediately ran off in spikes.

Ji Wen scolded again, this yamen is up and down, like a sieve, and there are leaky walls everywhere. Ye Chang's refusal to explain to him here may also have a reason.

The so-called Xiangxue Sea is a newly opened teahouse in Chang'an City, the teahouse is in the West Market, because there is half an acre of plum blossoms in the yard behind the building, and when it comes to winter, the fragrance of flowers and tea is in one place, which is a rare and elegant place. It is reported that after Li Longji heard about it, he also yearned for it, which made people do the same in his Xingqing Palace.

Few people know that behind this fragrant snow sea, it is still Ye Chang.

Letting out the ball market and withdrawing from Chang'an City does not mean that Ye Chang does not have any arrangements in Chang'an, this Xiangxuehai is one of his arrangements, which can promote a new way of drinking tea - Ye Chang firmly believes that tea, a hobby, will definitely be popular in the world, and his new tea ceremony will also spread all over the world; Second, Ye Chang also has a foothold, and he can also find out some necessary news.

It's just that he didn't pay too much attention to this idle move, so after returning to Chang'an this time, he didn't come to Xiangxuehai. It wasn't until he realized that something was wrong with Han Chaozong's side that he remembered his idle move, if he returned to Chang'an, he would first contact this side, where would such an oolong come out.

When I arrived at the gate of Dexiang Xuehai, I saw a handsome little guy sweeping the snow on the ground with all his might. At this time, it was snowing, but it was not big, just a few pieces, and the little guy would immediately sweep it aside. Seeing his diligent appearance, Ye Chang said with a smile: "This snow doesn't stop, where can it be cleaned?" ”

The little guy was only eleven or twelve years old, and when he heard this, he raised his face and said solemnly: "Although this is the case, if you don't sweep it, where will it be clean?"

Ye Chang was stunned, and the straight "Amitabha" next to him said: "Okay, good boy, there is a wisdom root"

But the little guy glared at him: "I don't like monks"

This time, Ye Chang smiled: "Why don't you like the monk, he praises you." ”

The little guy was silent, only caring about clearing the snow by himself, at this time the shopkeeper in the teahouse heard the sound and came out, and saw that it was Ye Chang, and said happily: "It turned out to be Lang Jun, Ye Lang Jun, you came back from Longyou?" ”

"It's been a few days. Someone has been invited, is there anyone in my ashram? ”

"This ...... No. "The shopkeeper's surname is Si, who is a steward of the original ball market, and has studied for a while, because of his kinship with Jia Mao'er, he has become a figure in Ye Chang's interest group. He is a good and elegant person, and it is more than enough to preside over this teahouse.

His tone changed slightly, and Ye Chang didn't care: "Since that's the case, then I'll go over, someone comes to ask me, you just lead it."

Ye Chang said while inside, this Xiangxuehai teahouse was designed by himself, and there was a corner tower at the east and west ends of the building, and the so-called quiet room was the easternmost corner. Here you can see the canal bank outside the West City, and you can also see the plum blossoms in the backyard, which is really the most elegant place.

After entering the elegant room, a beautiful girl came in to make tea. The so-called tea house, in addition to tea, naturally has other things, not to mention refreshments and the like, and there are some books published by the Ye family printing workshop, most of which are poems and the like, and there are also anecdotes.

Confucianism pays attention to an elegant, where he spends time, exchanges reading experiences, and talks about poetry and words, and half a day passes in a blink of an eye. The business of such a private seat is quite good, and there are already people in Chang'an City who are imitating this.

It's just that there is no good tea from Xiangxuehai, and there are some shortcomings after all.

Not long after Ye Chang sat down, he heard an angry female voice coming: "It's obvious that you have booked the Xiang Pavilion, why was you brought to this Fang Pavilion?" ”

Ye Chang was stunned in his heart, the incense pavilion was the quiet room he wanted, and thinking of the shopkeeper's expression, he understood that the shopkeeper temporarily vacated this room for him.

"It's not about money, how can my lady not pay these money shopkeepers, you ......"

Then there was the shopkeeper's low apology, Ye Chang frowned slightly, this thing was caused by the shopkeeper's inauthentic work and indiscriminate sycophancy. He came out and said in a deep voice: "The shopkeeper, since the Xiangge has already been booked, the guests should come first." In this way, please come to Xiang Pavilion and consume for free today. ”

The shopkeeper's face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't want the horse's fart to be slapped on the horse's hooves.

The angry woman over there looked at her proudly: "Count you as interesting......

Ye Chang didn't like this face, he begged for a bargain and sold well, and he really owed a beating. However, before Ye Chang could attack, he heard a low voice from someone next to the woman and stopped the woman.

"What's wrong?" The angry woman was surprised.

"It's a ...... who knows her" The person who stopped her stepped forward and bowed to Ye Changyingying: "I've seen Ye Langjun." ”

Ye Chang saw that this woman looked familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he just couldn't remember it.
