Time to go.

It's time to go.

My identity in Chang'an has become a mess, and there is no reason for me to stay any longer.

The situation is getting out of control more and more, and who knows what will happen later!

I'm always pushing things backwards, so much so that I can't figure out whether my heart wants to go back or not!

But now that I don't have to think about it, reality has chosen the only option for me: I have to go back.

I will change my name again and be a new person.

I will be who I am, who I am, who I want to be.

I'm going to be a good person, because no one can stop me from being a good person! I have no reason to do bad things!

Over the years, I've paid too much and given up so much for that ridiculous ideal.

Everything I had was gone, and my memories had been tampered with by myself. Am I still me who have lost my memory?

— but I still have my hometown. If I go to my hometown, I will see my old house, my public toilet, I will recall my memories.

- And most importantly, my black date tree is still waiting for me. Twenty years later, I still remember spitting jujube kernels on the ground. So clear, as if it were yesterday. For ten years, I've been dreaming of my black date tree. It's like my child. Children always grow up inadvertently, just like the black date tree grows up inadvertently. Since it is a black jujube tree, it will definitely be full of black jujubes. Ten years, enough is enough.

I would point to my yard, my house, my date palm and say, "Look, I grew up here." I exist! I am who I am! ”

As for what the fate of the court will be in the future, it's my business?

I said to Zhao Yuyang, the head of the Tang Household Department: "I'm leaving, go back to the Central Plains." I won't do it as the head of the inner court, you go and grab it with Zhang Qiangsheng! ”

Zhao Yuyang smiled disdainfully: "How many times have you said this?" ”

Me: "I'm going to change my name — my name is Zhang Ming, from Luoyang, Tokyo." Our family has been operating in Luoyang for 10,000 years, and I grew up in Luoyang and never went out. ”

Zhao Yuyang raised his middle finger: "I want to see how many times you can change your name when you die!" ”

I said, "Also, I want a new identity!" Don't have any connection with my old self! Don't look me up again with the royal computer! I don't want to look up 'Zhang Ming' and the Royal Computer tells me that 'Zhang Ming used to be called Zhao Da Niu, Dongfang Ju, Chen Ju, and Zhang Wuming'. Can you do it? ”

Zhao Yuyang: "It's not that I can't do it, but you can't do it!" The fingerprints of 4.6 billion people in the world are all different, and this can't be changed! The fingerprints of Zhao Daniu, Dongfang Ju, Chen Ju, Zhang Wuming, and Zhang Ming are exactly the same, and the royal computer can see them at a glance! ”

Me: "You're not going to let the royal computer change my fingerprint!" ”

Zhao Yuyang: "In other words, you asked us to change the fingerprints of 'Zhang Ming' to someone else's?" Of course I can do it, but isn't that 'Zhang Ming' not you? How are you 'Zhang Ming'? There are tens of millions of canceled accounts in the world, can you choose any one? For example, today the imperial court threw 10,000 death row prisoners into the royal prison, can you just choose one? ”

I frowned and thought about things, about the nature of people and names - but still couldn't figure it out.

Zhao Yuyang sneered: "What did you say all day long, 'jump out of the Three Realms and not be in the Five Elements', I thought you didn't care about the imperial court." I didn't expect you to care about the household registration of the imperial court! Look at those gangsters and cult bandits, they all have no household registration! ”

Me: "You know a piece of! This is called the great hidden in the court! ”

Zhao Yuyang: "Hypocrisy! Either be the head of your inner court in the imperial court, or live in complete seclusion in the mountains and forests, but why are you so anxious to ask for the household registration of the imperial court? ”

I opened my mouth, but there was nothing to say. Although I always feel that the world is full of paradoxes, I am also a paradox!

I turned and walked away.

I told Emperor Li Hongsi about this.

The emperor looked surprised and reluctant.

Emperor: "Why?" With my backing, who would dare to mess with you? ”

Me: "I really want to go. I came out of Luobei, not to be an official, nor to 'self-cultivation and governance of the country'. I came out just to come out and see what the world was like. Now that the Tang Dynasty has decided, the Sichuan Holy Land doesn't care about us, and the treacherous provincial cult is not a climate, I should go. ”

The Emperor nodded, did not speak, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Me: "Zhao Yuyang and Zhang Qiangsheng are very capable, and they must rest assured that the inner court will be handed over to them." Yang Mingyang is also very capable, and he must be very relieved to hand it over to him. I don't have much use now, I just want to go back to Luoyang to recuperate. I'll change my name again, and I'll cut it off from before, and I won't have to be hunted down. ”

Emperor: "Are you the governor of the Central Plains?" ”

Me: "I left the court just because I didn't want to do much. Then why do I need the governor of the Central Plains? How tired! ”

The Emperor nodded.

Me: "I'll take Zhang Kangning away, he has a forbidden army of several thousand people. It's better for him to be an overseer, anyway, there is no overseer in the Central Plains. I can also help the imperial court watch the Central Plains and save Hebei or the cult from causing trouble. ”

The emperor smiled: "No problem. I'll make a decree. ”

I waved at the Emperor as I left.

The Emperor waved at me as well.

The next day, the imperial court announced the death of Zhang Wuming, the head of the Tang Dynasty's inner court.

Zhang Wuming, the head of the inner court of the Tang Dynasty, was born in the tenth year of Qianjia in the Ming Dynasty, a native of Chang'an, Gyeonggi, and died on February 1, the second year of Hongsi in the Tang Dynasty, at the age of 99. He had mixed achievements and reputations in his life, and was finally assassinated, and died after five months.

The court didn't say much about other details, anyway, the people love to understand how they want. The imperial court never deceives people, they just let those who want to be deceived be deceived. That's all.

A few days later, a new governor of the inner court was born.

Zhang Qiangsheng and Zhao Yuyang competed for this position. Originally, according to the "morality of the Tang Dynasty", people should be humble, but "Mao Sui self-recommended" is a great shame. But Zhang Qiangsheng and Zhao Yuyang actually openly grabbed this position in the imperial court! How does this work? It is said that at that time, the entire Tang Hall was full of sighs from foreign ministers.

Zhang Qiangsheng is too powerful, so the prime minister's foreign courts all support Zhao Yuyang. Zhang Qiang was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and he was almost about to scold Zhao Yuyang for colluding with the foreign dynasty.

So the emperor chose Zhao Yuyang.

Zhao Yuyang became the head of the inner court again - "again".

According to the new "Law of the Tang Dynasty", the head of the inner court and the prime minister of the outer court are of the same rank, and the status of both sides is exactly the same.

The factions of the imperial court were more complex. The inner court is divided into Zhang Qiangsheng faction, Zhao Yuyang faction, Lu Ziluo faction, and the outer dynasty has Yang Mingyang, foreign relatives have Pu Qinghong, Dongfang Yongbai, close servants have Zheng Anmin, An Ningri, in addition, there are more than a dozen provinces outside Tongguan.

Of course, this is a temporary faction. All factions in the imperial court are always temporary. A fool would tie himself to a faction!

The commander of the Tang Jinyi Guard made Lu Chengzhi find me.

He: "Zhang Qiangsheng's secret office has already sent people to keep an eye on you, and even your army has their spies!" ”

Me: "I know, they're staring at everybody. I would even go so far as to say that not only the Secret Division, but also the Intelligence Division, the Criminal Division, and even your Jinyi Guard have people around me. ”

Lu Chengzhi blushed and said, "Jinyiwei doesn't have it!" ”

I patted him on the shoulder: "Everyone is everyone's enemy, I have known this for a long time. They won't let me go, no matter how good my relationship with them is, no matter what promises we have! Why do I dare to go back to the Central Plains? I dare to do it because I can! No one dared to do anything to me, because—I had my own plans. ”

Lu Chengzhi looked at me.

Me: "You have to be careful with yourself. I heard that the prime minister has always wanted to merge Jinyiwei into the Criminal Department. ”

Lu Chengzhi's expression was a little unnatural. He said: "Zhang Qiangsheng and Yang Mingyang both look at my Jinyiwei unpleasantly. ”

Me: "I've also heard that the Secret Service is going to annex the Intelligence Service. Their first step is annexation, and the second step is elimination. Therefore, you can contact the Director of the Intelligence Division, Chen Enze, to see if you can cooperate......"

I smiled at him.

Lu Chengzhi: "Why do you care about this? ”

Me: "Because the balance of power is the best." What do you think, if Zhang Qiangsheng and Yang Mingyang cover the sky with one hand, they want to provoke me, and I really can't do it. ”

Lu Chengzhi: "You want me to betray...... Prime minister? Betrayal of foreign dynasties? ”

Me: "Look at how ugly you speak, in fact, it was the prime minister and the foreign court who betrayed you......"

Lu Chengzhi left with a solemn face.
