Zhang Pei suddenly remembered that in the old years, because of the unsuccessful relationship with his relatives, it seemed that the nobles in Beijing had pooled their money and said that they wanted to buy a strong man and an frontier...... At that time, he was talking about it as a joke, but now listening to what Ye Chang said, he actually did it?

"This ...... This is impossible" Li Xiao also knew what was going on, inhaling the cold air, his mouth was wide open, and with that pair of dark circles, his expression was a bit like a national treasure in another life.

"When Ban Chao threw his pen from Rong, those knife and pen officials also said that it was impossible." Ye Chang smiled.

Zhang Pei and Li Xiao glanced at each other, Ye Chang's side strategy back then, they all knew the way, everyone only thought that this was a conjecture that young people rarely saw, but they never thought that he actually had this kind of action, turning it from a fantasy into a reality

"If there is no other thing to inquire about, Zhang Shilang, Ye Mouke will retire temporarily." Seeing that the two were still in a daze, Ye Chang smiled and said goodbye.

Zhang Pei and Li Xiao had no reason to keep him anymore, they could only watch him leave with Shanzhi, as for whether there would be a dispute between Zhang Pei and Li Xiao after Ye Chang left, it was not a matter for Ye Chang to consider.

He didn't take the opportunity to attack this time, pulling Zhang Pei and Li Xiao down, firstly, he was not completely sure, and secondly, he was not willing to be too much like Li Linfu's intentions. It didn't do him much good to get these two people and even Li Shizhi to prison, and he didn't want to let himself become a knife in Li Linfu's hands. As for Li Xiao, he naturally has to clean it up, thinking that after today's events, Zhang Peihe and Li Shizhi will take action and teach him a lesson丨 This idiot.

The news in the palace came faster than Ye Chang expected, and before Twenty-Nine Niang came, Yang Zhao came again.

"Enter the palace now?"

"Yes, Xingqing Palace, the saint and the lady are enjoying the flowers over there, I said that you want to face the saint and present the treasures you are looking for overseas, and the saint will call you there."

Flower appreciation is actually just one item, at that time Li Longji was taking Yang Yuhuan to gamble together, Yang Yuhuan lacked talent in this, and lost a few times in a row and said that he would not play if he lost everything, Yang Zhao, who kept the account next to him, took the opportunity to say that he lost everything, Ye Chang returned from overseas and brought gifts to his mother, but he didn't know when he could send it to the palace. At that time, Li Longji won the most, and he was in a good mood, so he summoned Ye Chang into the palace.

"...... so fast"

"Don't delay, it's not good to make the saint and the mother wait for a long time." Yang Zhao urged.

Ye Chang ordered the gifts to be packed, and then took a carriage to Xingqing Palace. Fortunately, the road surface in Chang'an City was very good, and the carriage could run on it, so although it was crossing Chang'an, it didn't take much time. Yang Zhao went in to return, he was waiting outside, and it didn't take long for him to see Gao Lishi trotting over.

"Hehe, Ye joined the army, I haven't seen you for a long time."

As soon as the old eunuch saw Ye Chang, he greeted with a smile, Ye Chang didn't dare to put a score in front of him - even Li Linfu didn't dare to put a score in front of him, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "How dare you work General Gao?"

"I'm a fake general, you're a real general, Your Majesty is very happy to hear that you have made meritorious contributions overseas...... What are you? ”

"A little overseas gadgets, for the general to reward people." Ye Chang stuffed the small brocade box into Gao Lishi's sleeve, Gao Lishi had never seen anything, and he didn't want it originally, but he heard that it was a novelty from overseas, and he was rewarded for it, so he changed his mind and accepted it.

"Ye Senjun, you have to show me that gift before you can enter, this is the rule, it's not that I'm making it difficult

The old eunuch was a little overzealous, Ye Chang responded, "That's natural", and then took him to the back of the car.

In the back of the car was a long box, which would almost be mistaken for a coffin if it weren't flat. Gao Lishi didn't like it when he saw this appearance: "This box can't be entered, there is a taboo." ”

"Yes, that's what the general said."

After the box was opened, it revealed the tightly wrapped things inside, Ye Chang lifted the corner of the outer cover and let Gao Lishi take a look, Gao Lishi took a cold breath after seeing it: "It's so big...... A whole? ”

"Exactly"

Gao Lishi looked at Ye Chang, raised his thumb and said: "Ye joins the army with good intentions, Niangniang will definitely be happy"

"General To's auspicious words...... This thing is fragile, I still wrap it in cloth, please ask the general to order the two of them to help carry it

"That's nature. You two, come and carry it, be careful, be careful, if something goes wrong, be careful of your lives."

The thing was not heavy, and the two guards carried it into Xingqing Palace, Ye Chang followed beside him, and Gao Lishi accompanied him. Seeing that Ye Chang's expression seemed to be a little nervous, Gao Lishi said in a low voice: "The mother has been in a very good mood these days, so the saint is also in a good mood, whatever you want, you can think about it." ”

"General Xie Lu, Xie Gao."

Ye Chang didn't want anything, what he wanted was fought for by himself.

Outside the Calyx Xianghui Building of Xingqing Palace, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan were a little impatient. Seeing Ye Chang come in, Li Longji said in the first sentence: "Ye Shiyi, you have done a great job"

Ye Chang finished the salute unhurriedly: "With a saint in the court, the minister can naturally do a good job." ”

"You're a thick-skinned ...... Listening to Yang Zhao, you actually took back a state of land in Liaodong? ”

"Your Majesty is blessed with Hongfu, Tang Tianwei, and women like mothers do not let their eyebrows be shaved, so they are the saints who take back the land of a state." Ye Chang said: "The minister has recovered the seventeen cities of Jili Prefecture, how to deal with it, and ask the sage to appoint officials." ”

"The territory you have recovered, you are not a thorn?"

Gao Lishi next to him heard this sentence and couldn't help but look at Ye Chang. If Ye Chang couldn't resist the temptation of high-ranking officials and power, and really asked for the position of assassin in this state, the saint would definitely be suspicious of him.

"The minister went to Liaodong, originally to seek immortals to visit the Tao, but the local barbarians were not educated, and they wanted to harm the ministers, and the ministers were subdued with the help of the power of Chang'an women. The saint should know that the minister is born to jump out, and he really does not like mundane affairs, if the saint gives the minister a lord, the minister will be grateful and accept it, but this state is a thorn in history...... Ministers are lazy, and they can't do anything. ”

Hearing Ye Chang's almost Laipi answer, Li Longji laughed: "Okay, you Ye Shiyi, full of ridiculous words...... You can't do it, twenty-year-old thorn history...... If it weren't for the prince's clan, no one could do anything

The assassin can't do it, and the implication is that the rest of the functions can be done. Not every state in the Tang Dynasty has appointed a history of assassination, Ye Chang's purpose is to get a position such as governor history or Sima for accumulation, as for the history of assassination, if Li Longji appoints it, it is not easy to set aside it when he arrives in the land of Liaodong

"You just said that with the help of Chang'an women...... What do you mean by that? ”

After testing Ye Chang, Li Longji asked curiously again. This question made Ye Chang raise his head and glance at him quietly, not knowing whether he really didn't know or not.

"This ...... The minister is guilty, and he asks His Majesty to forgive him, so that the minister dares to say it. ”

"If you are guilty, no one can save you, and if you are not guilty, you should not be afraid that I will find you to send you a pool" Li Longji said domineeringly: "Let me forgive you for your sins, don't think"

Ye Chang didn't expect him to respond like this, he was stunned, Yang Yuhuan over there had already chuckled: "Ye Shiyi is just a young man after all, San Lang, you can't scare him like this, if you frighten the concubine, the gift will be gone." ”

"Okay, although I don't forgive you, but Yuhuan intercedes for you, my ears are soft, so I can only agree." Li Longji said helplessly.

This is to make Ye Chang owe Yang Yuhuan a favor, and at the same time, it is also to offset Ye Chang's friendship of gifts. Ye Chang suddenly realized that although Li Longji was gradually faint because of his old age, he really fooled him as a senile dementia, that is, he was purely looking for death.

As long as he wanted to, he could still show his acumen for political struggle.

"Xie Niangniang...... In fact, it has something to do with Niangniang. When the minister left Chang'an, Niangniang and the noble ladies in Chang'an City gave the minister a sum of gold and silver, worth about 200,000 yuan, and ordered the minister to try the side strategy......"

The cold light in Li Longji's eyes flickered slightly, but the corners of his mouth were bent upward. He knew this matter very well, but Ye Chang dared to say it to his face, but he was bold.

"When the minister arrived in Liaodong, he originally just wanted to repair a dock in the capital, so that he could build a big ship that could go out to the sea, and one day he could take a boat to find the real abbot of Penglai. The local Goguryeo chieftain was rude and greedy, intending to seize the property of the ministers, and the ministers remembered the instructions of the nobles and their daughters, so they used this gold and silver as capital to recruit Han warriors in Liaodong and buy the barbarians who had no aspirations. These two places dedicated the city, and the remaining forces were small, and they were naturally pacified. ”

Li Longji has his source of intelligence, but at this time he is not the descendant of the spy Daxing, and his intelligence is mainly the report of the magistrate, so he does not know much about the situation in Liaodong. Hearing Ye Chang say this, he only said that Ye Chang really relied on bribery to pacify Jili Prefecture, and couldn't help laughing: "200,000 yuan for a state of land and 60,000 people, you have made a good deal."

Ye Chang knew that he was sneering, but he hadn't answered yet, and Yang Yuhuan said in a coquettish voice: "San Lang, the military affairs are still going to the court meeting, and the concubines can't wait to see the gifts brought by Ye Shiyi."

"Okay, look at the gifts" Li Longji laughed.

He was extravagant in his old age, so many important ministers in the Tianbao New Year relied on his ability to loot the people to be reused, and he was also very much looking forward to the gifts that Ye Chang might offer.

Ye Chang glanced at Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi glanced at a little eunuch again, and the little eunuch ran out, and after a while, the two guards brought the gift in. Ye Chang asked them to put up the gift tree, and at the same time invited Yang Yuhuan to come and watch. Yang Yuhuan stepped forward and saw something as tall as a person, the whole thing was covered with cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.

Gao Lishi stepped forward and said with a smile: "The slave maid has unveiled this gift for the mother...... Lady please see"

As soon as he lifted the cloth, Yang Yuhuan let out an "ah" in surprise, and the palace maids on the side also exclaimed one by one, it was Li Longji, and his eyes lit up at that moment.

Large glass mirror

The glass mirror more than one person high was in front of Yang Yuhuan, and her figure was reflected in it, she was completely stunned by this huge mirror, and she stood there without moving.

There was no other sound around except Fang Cai's exclamations. Ye Chang coughed: "This thing is also dedicated to the saint, but Niangniang is afraid that she will blame the minister, because if you sacrifice this thing, there will be two Yang Niangniang among the saints." ”

Everyone didn't realize the true meaning of his words at first, but after a while they reacted, and immediately covered their mouths and chuckled.

Yang Yuhuan also came back to her senses at this time, and naturally knew that Ye Chang was funny, but this mirror was so huge, and it was so bright and visible, it really made her happy. She glanced at Li Longji with her coquettish eyes: "San Lang, this person in the mirror, and this person in front of you, which one do you like the most, you can tell the truth."

Li Longji smiled: "Naturally, I like people in the mirror......"

"Then San Lang, you can live with this person in the mirror" Yang Yuhuan flicked his sleeves and feigned anger, but was grabbed by Li Longji, and the two stood in front of the mirror together.

The two lingered in front of the mirror for a long time, Ye Chang stepped back and stood with Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao gave him a thumbs up and said softly "Cai"

At this time, the mirrors are all copper mirrors, although the mirror grinders can polish the copper mirrors with potions and craftsmanship to be extremely smooth, but compared with the glass mirror, there is still a bit of a gap after all. What's more, the bronze mirror is not such a big one, that is, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan stood there, and they both felt that they could shine clearly. Li Longji was in front of the mirror for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "I'm old, but you are still young in Yuhuan"

"Nonsense, where is San Lang old, look at your spirit, you are better than Yang Zhao, you are a young man like Ye Shiyi, and he is haggard compared to San Lang"

Ye Chang was blowing the sea breeze in Liaodong, he was originally a baby face, and after more than half a year of sea breeze, it has also become rough, Yang Yuhuan said that he was haggard, but he was not wrong at all. Li Longji glanced at him, thinking of Ye Chang's appearance last year, and he also had some sympathy in his heart: This year, Ye Chang must have suffered a lot

"I don't know if the mother is still happy about this gift?"

"I like it, I naturally like it, Ye Shiyi Lang, what do you want, I'll find San Lang for you" Yang Yuhuan really liked this big mirror, and her voice was full of joy.

"This, the minister really has something to ask for." Ye Chang said with a smile.

"You say, you say, I want to see what you want," Li Longji said.

"The minister built a dock in Liaodong, originally did not want to frighten the local natives, so he chose a wasteland to build a camp, and when the minister built the camp, he thought that he wanted to visit the fairy island, hoping that the journey would be smooth, so he named the camp Lushun." Ye Chang said with a smile: "The minister only asks His Majesty to write the royal pen, the word Lushun, and the minister will stand it outside the camp, so as to teach the Chinese and foreign Han Hu to know the Tao, and the name of this place is given by the sage." ”

In another life, asking the leader to write an inscription was originally a tactful way of patting the horse's ass, Ye Changxin didn't use it with any traces, and Li Longji smiled, and without waiting for Yang Yuhuan to invite, he nodded and said: "Yes, yes, come here, take a few pen and ink cases"

Yang Zhao couldn't help but secretly give Ye Chang a thumbs up again, this brother he got acquainted with was still above him.

"Just this?" Yang Yuhuan next to her was disobedient, she looked at Li Longji: "Ye Shiyi Lang is thinking about San Lang and his concubine in his heart, San Lang can't be too stingy and hurt his pure heart"

"What does it mean to be a jade ring?" Li Longji was happy to see her, and he was also happy in his heart, plus just writing two words, it was indeed too petty, so he asked.
