These three people are all impassioned people, and it must be extraordinary for the three of them to think that it is a big deal.

But judging from the expressions of the three of them, it's not a bad thing.

But Ye Chang still felt uneasy in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen. He fixed his mind: "What is the big thing about the three of you?" ”

"The three of us have discussed it when we have been gathering for a while, and what you said last time is really shocking, so the three of us are determined to go all over the border and understand the border situation, in case of emergency" Li Qi was older, so he spoke first.

"Huh?"

Ye Chang opened his mouth wide, he explained his views on the border issue to these people, the purpose was just to create public opinion against Heqin, but he never thought that he seemed to have gone too far, and it actually aroused the idea of these three people to go to the border pass

Among these people, Li Ji is over half a hundred years old, Gao Shi is forty years old, and Cen Shen is young, twenty-nine years old. Gao Shi and Cen Shen are okay, Li Ji is ...... age What else do you want to do at the border?

Ye Chang swallowed his saliva and snorted: "It's really a big deal...... I don't know where I can help? ”

"Naturally, you Ye Changran is indispensable." Li Ji said with a smile: "It's nothing more than four words, pay for people." ”

"Huh?"

"Money, you are a rich man, and the three of us are not as rich as your family when we are tied together, and this road fee will naturally fall on you."

The so-called friends have the friendship of wealth, at this time it is common for literati to give each other money, Ye Chang left Chang'an for the first time, He Zhizhang, Zhang Xu and others gave him a lot of property. Hearing this request, Ye Chang smiled dumbly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say...... I don't know who is out, but who is there around you? ”

By his side, Jia Mao'er is the most appropriate, and then there are Shanzhi and Nanba, who are mainly responsible for his safety. Ye Chang pondered that the three of them might want to borrow these two people for a safe journey. is good and straightforward, he is shouting that it is too boring in Luoyang, but Nanba, is he willing to spend a year and a half to accompany these three to the border pass, and ask for his own opinion.

"It's not someone else, it's Ye Eleven, and you."

"Ahh

Ye Chang pointed to the tip of his nose, and when he saw the three of them nodding again, he couldn't help crying and laughing at the moment.

Lend him...... It turned out that he was invited to go to the border with him

He didn't want to run to the border pass, you must know that there was no train at this time, and it would take him more than half a year to run to the border pass, which would be considered smooth. He has so many plans, it takes time, how can he have time to run to the border

"This ...... There is still something to do in Luoyang......"

"Didn't you just say that you don't have to do the things in Luoyang?" Cen Shen pointed at him with a smile: "Ye Shiyi, you are so unhappy"

"A certain is to say, uh, there is still something to do in Luoyang after the year...... No, Brother Cen, aren't you going for the imperial examination? ”

Ye Chang was originally going to give himself a reason to excuse himself, but suddenly seeing Cen Shen's smiling expression, he had an idea.

"Haha......ha Knowing that Ye Shiyi is as cunning as a fox, he will inevitably think of it. Gao Shi stroked his palm and smiled.

Li Ji nodded, and said helplessly: "In terms of knowing people, among us, Gao Dafu is the most ...... However, Ye Shiyi, you are wrong, we are not doing it immediately.

It's not that it's just a walk-and-go trip, except for those who burn out their brains, who will run around unprepared. Ye Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately after, Li Ji's words made him panic again.

"We decided to set off next summer and go to Shuofang Lulong first to see the more stable northeast. After that, I went to the northwest, and then I went to Tibet the year after that...... In early summer, the imperial examination has been released, and you Ye Shiyi also have half a year to take care of family affairs. ”

Ye Chang's face was bitter, and he almost scolded.

This is obviously difficult for a strong man, Li Ji and the three of them really have to pull him into the water

"This ...... This ......"

"Ye Shiyi, could it be that you are also a soldier on paper, and you keep saying that you are worried about national affairs, but in fact you are unwilling to contribute?" Cen Shen was a little impatient: "No matter how important your matter is, is it more important than a certain imperial examination?" ”

Ye Chang wanted to say that his own affairs were indeed more important than Cen Shen's imperial examination, but if he really said it, he would inevitably turn his face. If it was a year ago, he would have turned his face, but after so many things, Ye Chang already had a different idea.

He must maintain a good network of contacts for himself, and Li Ji, Gao Shi and Cen Shen are all companions who can be accommodated.

But he really didn't want to make this trip.

Although he didn't know the specific situation of the border pass, he understood the general situation, because Li Linfu was worried that the border generals would enter the court, and now the border Dali uses Hu people, no matter which direction, it is the same.

With an idea, he thought of an excuse: "It's not a secret, the three of you still remember that in the future, when the population grows, food and clothing will be insufficient, so that the country will have a strange disaster?" ”

"Exactly, the three of us want to do it, and that's exactly why."

"I have planned this matter for a long time, and I heard that in the land of Nanban, there is kapok that can be woven with Jibei cloth, and I borrowed two granges from the eldest princess of Yuzhen, ready to try to plant kapok. If it can be obtained, then in addition to the silk and linen, there is another thing that can coat the world. Ye Chang said: "The matter of the border pass is not in a hurry, and the planting of this kapok should not delay the season." ”

Li Ji and the three of them were silent, but they just looked at Ye Chang suspiciously, Ye Chang had no choice but to add: "Besides, the battle in the north, the weather is cold, and the soldiers are lost, most of which is due to this." This Jibei cloth can be made of cotton clothes, and the effect of keeping out the cold is like a fur fur, if I can wear it in the Tang Dynasty......"

"Does that really work?"

"If the three don't believe it, when the kapok is planted in the coming year, a certain cotton coat will be given to the three of them to try it in person."

When it comes to this, Li Ji and the three of them are not easy to persuade again, they came to take advantage of the excitement, but they returned disappointed. Seeing them leaving, Ye Chang stroked his forehead with his hand and let out a long breath: "Luck, luck......"

This time it was for him to get away with it.

Immediately, he frowned again, these three people are all resolute-minded people, but I am afraid that they will not give up their plans easily.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly summoned Ding Dianshi: "Ding Dianshi, the matter here, I will hand it over to you today, I have urgent matters, I have to go back to my hometown first, Ming Gong's side, I have taken leave, and I have also said your credit here." I will resign from the post of record and recommend it to you......"

In the past two months, Ding Dianshi has followed Ye Chang's side, before and after the saddle, and has done a lot of things. Ye Chang is often only responsible for planning, specific implementation, or Ding Dian does more. Ye Chang saw all this in his eyes, so when he was leaving, he had this hand.

"Huh? I still want to learn more from Ye Lushi......" Ding Dianshi was surprised, and then grateful: "Thank you Ye Gong"

At a young age, he was called "Gong", Ye Chang was very uncomfortable, but at least he was not Ye Gonggong. He completed the handover as quickly as possible, turned around and beckoned Shanzhi: "Shanzhishi, let's go back and pack our bags"

"Why is it so urgent?" There's something strange about Shinnao.

"Don't be in a hurry, those three are afraid that they won't give up, and they will definitely come to persuade them again in two days—maybe they will come this afternoon." Ye Chang said eagerly: "This is going to come again, the three of them are prepared, I'm afraid it will not be easy to send it away." Monk, do you want to go to the border pass? ”

Shanzhi said indifferently: "As long as you can eat enough, and then there is wine and meat, you will pass the border at the border......"

Ye Chang shook his head suddenly, and asked himself about this wine bag and rice bag, but it was in vain

Nan Jiyun was a soldier in Luoyang City, Ye Chang just returned to his hometown, and it was impossible to take him away, so Ye Chang didn't ask. With his companions, he set off at noon that day and left Luoyang City.

As he expected, in the afternoon, Li Ji and the three came to look for him again, and after learning that he had left Luoyang, the three looked at each other.

"Ye Langjun said, if a few people need money to be strong, just talk to someone." It was Jia Mao'er who stayed in Luoyang, and he looked at a few people with a smile: "But in a few days, so-and-so will also leave." ”

"Let this guy slip away" Cen Shen shouted: "Go chase? ”

"Chase down Xiuwu?" Gao Shi shook his head and smiled deeply: "Don't worry, when we meet again, he Ye Shiyi wants to lie high in Wolong Valley...... I'm afraid that someone won't agree."

"Who?"

Gao Shi smiled and pointed to the sky, but did not answer again.

Everyone understands that this day is not God.

The person alluded to by Gao Shi is now in the Xingqing Palace in Chang'an City. He had just returned from the Lishan Hot Spring Palace, and he was a little tired, and his spirit was not very good.

It's an old man after all.

Gao Lishi quietly glanced at Li Longji, and Li Longji had a smile on his face: "What's the matter with the DPRK?" ”

Li Linfu at the bottom made a gesture: "The saint is blessed, the world is peaceful, everything is normal in the court......"

"Well, it's good to be normal, I'm tired, take a rest first, national affairs depend on Yu Qing."

"Do you dare not do your best to repay Your Majesty's kindness?" Li Linfu said: "Your Majesty, the minister will retire." ”

After Li Linfu stepped back, Li Longji sighed and stretched his arm: "Old...... Old, General Gao, I haven't been out of Chang'an for ten years, there is nothing in the world, I want to entrust all political affairs to Li Linfu, what do you think? ”

Colliers was shocked.

Li Longji rarely shows such an old state, especially in front of Li Linfu.

Gao Lishi quickly calculated in his heart that Li Linfu was able to have today, one is that he is quite capable, and the other is because he has help in the harem. Among these helpers is his Colliers.

Therefore, after a short moment of astonishment, he bowed down and said: "The patrol of the Son of Heaven is an ancient system, the authority of the world, and it cannot be lent to others—if others pretend to use the power of the Son of Heaven to become their own power, who dares to reconsider it?" ”

This is a clear opposition to Li Longji's complete handing over of power to Li Linfu.

Li Longji glanced at him with a very displeased expression.

Gao Lishi's heart jumped: he guessed wrong, His Majesty is really old and tired of politics, not suspecting that he has colluded with Li Linfu?

Thinking of this, he knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister has a crazy disease, and occasionally speaks wildly, this is a capital crime, and please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime of the minister."

Seeing him so frightened, Li Longji suddenly became happy again in his heart, smiled and ordered left and right: "General Gao is sincere, and he will ...... wine for him."

The inner prisons on the left and right shouted long live, and after a while, the wine and music were prepared, and the hall was lively again. Gao Lishi, who had already gotten up, was sweating on his forehead, and Li Longji asked with a smile: "Why is General Gao sweating?" ”

"This ...... The charcoal fire in the hall was very strong, and the ministers were not hot, so the sweat was pouring down. ”

Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji was not asking him, but beating him, and he also followed Li Longji's words and answered. In his heart, he secretly vowed never to express any more views on state affairs.

The feast was in full swing, and there were ministers over there, but it was Zhang Pei who asked to see him.

"Why is he here again?" Li Longji's mood improved at this time, and when he heard this, he said, "Let him come in." ”

Although Zhang Pei is in charge of the Hanlin Academy, he is not very concerned about serious political affairs, and he is generally in charge of Weng's son-in-law. After a while, he appeared in front of Li Longji, Gao Lishi glanced at him, and saw that he was smiling, but his eyes flashed, showing that he was turning his mind.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what's the matter here?" While drinking and enjoying the fun, Li Longji asked.

"His Majesty has a special encounter, and he has come back with the Hot Spring Palace, and now he is back, and he will deal with the affairs accumulated over time, but he can hear Li Bai, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, say something. The minister felt that this matter was important and that he had to report it to His Majesty. ”

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard that it was related to Li Bai, Li Longji felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Last year, Li Bai entered Beijing, and under the recommendation of everyone, he was able to enter the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor. At the beginning, Li Longji loved his talent and favored it, but now more than a year has passed, and Li Longji's attitude has gradually changed.

Although this son is talented, he can only be a person who writes Mohan, and he has the first-class wit of the Warring States Columnist and Columnist, but he is not able to do practical things. And the vision is also poor, I can't control my mouth, and when I say something inappropriately, I love to talk nonsense.

Originally, Li Bai was quite kind to others, so he had the reputation of "Lotus with Tongue", but after being valued by Li Longji, his mood changed, and he was quite arrogant and rude. is like Zhang Pei, who originally recommended Li Bai to Li Longji, but now he is not pleasing to his eyes.

"I don't know what amazing poems Li Taibai has?" Li Longji asked.

"But someone came from Luoyang and said something to Li Bai, and Li Bai spread it in the Hanlin Academy." Zhang Pei said quietly: "It is said that Ye Chang was in Luoyang City, and Zhang Xu and others gathered together, during which he criticized the current frontier policy without authorization, and Li Bai thought so......"

Ye Chang's words in the Drunken Immortal Building were passed on to Li Bai's ears. Li Bai was easily excited, and felt that it made sense, and Li Longji went to Lishan Hot Spring Palace, and Zhang Pei also went with him. Li Bai had no restraint in the Hanlin Academy, and his big mouth naturally started talking nonsense, or commenting or ridiculing, in short, there were not a few good words.

Naturally, there were people in the Hanlin Academy who were jealous of his talent staring at him, and after Zhang Pei came back, he immediately reported to Zhang Pei.

Zhang Pei was like a treasure - this can make the two people he dislikes look at at the same time at the same time, so he can't wait to listen to Li Longji. However, he deliberately ignored Ye Chang's three poems, lest Li Longji be moved by his poems.

Hearing Ye Chang's comments on side affairs, as well as Li Bai's criticisms, Li Longji was furious: "Shaft, how bold"

"Sage, these evil words are in vain to disturb the hearts of the people, and there is a sense of resentment and curse, and it must not be punished." Zhang Pei took the opportunity to say.

Gao Lishi pouted on the side, but he didn't dare to say anything, he had been beaten just now, and what he could do now was to be silent.

It's a pity, he thought in his heart, but it wasn't for Li Bai.
