Under the escort of Wei Wu, Quan Deyu was still dressed as a Confucian, holding a plain fan in his hand, and clenching his fists to say goodbye. Wei Wu also changed his outfit, took off his armor, disguised himself as an ordinary warrior, knelt down to Wei Gao and bowed, followed Quan Deyu, and soon disappeared into the clouds.

"Ling Gong Wei shocked the three Sichuan, holding the male soldiers, all the officials in Shuzhong were appreciated and promoted by the Gong, and the people in Sichuan all thought that Ling Gong was the Buddha of all families. Ling Gong wants to take Liu Pi, why is he so cautious? ”

It was Xue Tao who was asking. Xue Tao, the word Hongdu, Chang'an people, born in the fifth year of the calendar, was born in a family of eunuchs, when he was a child, he escaped the war with his father and entered Shu, and he was able to compose poems at the age of eight, when he was eight years old, his father pointed to the tree in the courtyard and chanted poetry, and said: "The court is in addition to a bronze, and the dry is in the clouds" Let Xue Tao continue two sentences, Xiao Xue Tao opened his mouth and said: "The branches welcome the birds from the north and south, and the leaves send the wind to and fro", his father was greatly surprised, and he didn't expect his daughter to have such a talent at a young age, and felt that his daughter's poetry was unknown, and he was afraid that he would fall into the dust in the future, and live a life of ushering in. Sure enough, after his father's death, the family was poor, and Xue Tao had to fall into the music club at the age of sixteen.

Soon Wei Gao was ordered to guard Shu. Wei Gao not only has outstanding martial arts, but also has a literary style, commanding the troops in battle during the war, and the strange soldiers come out one after another, killing Tubo and defeating him repeatedly, and even the great ministers and recklessness were captured by him. In his spare time, he persuaded farmers and businessmen, vigorously developed the economy, and sang and sang with a cadre of literati and celebrities in Shudi, and led the trend first. The reason why Chengdu is now the most casual city in the country is that it started in Weigao.

Not long after taking office, Wei Gao found Xue Tao in the land of smoke and willow singing and dancing, and was extremely fond of Xue Tao, and even appointed Xue Tao as an official. Xue Tao was very young at the time, and he didn't consciously get up or down, and was punished to Songzhou by Wei Gao in anger, Xue Tao, who understood his situation, went to Songzhou quietly, but wrote ten famous parting poems on the way, and sent someone to Wei Gao, and soon Wei Gao ordered Xue Tao to be recalled.

Now Xue Tao is thirty-five years old, no longer the youth and cuteness of the past, and has long since taken off her music books and become a well-known female poet in the entire Tang Dynasty, and her behavior is no longer as frivolous and jumpy as when she was young, she can consider everything for others, and has a lot of mature charm, so Wei Gao is still very willing to take her with her.

Seeing Xue Tao ask like this, Wei Gao didn't say a word, just quietly looked at the mountains in the mist in the distance, Xue Tao knew that he had asked something he shouldn't ask, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and stood quietly behind Wei Gao.

After a long time, Wei Gao let out a sigh of relief and said:

"The human heart is unpredictable!"

Wei Gao's image in the minds of the Shu people is both heroic and extraordinary, and elegant and elegant, like Zhuge Liang, is almost a god-like existence. It is said that when Wei Gao was full moon, the family prayed for Wei Gao's blessing and recruited monks to eat, and there was an ugly Hu monk who did not come to him, and the servant of the Wei family disliked him and gave him a broken mat to sit in the courtyard. When the feast began, Wei ordered the nurse to take the baby out, and asked the invited monks to bless the baby with health and longevity.

"Don't be unharmed for a long time?"

Father Wei was afraid that he would scare the baby, but the baby was happy, so he asked strangely:

"It's only been a month since this son of our family was born, why did you say goodbye, master?"

But this monk said:

"This is not known to Tan Yue."

Wei Gao's father became more and more strange, and insisted that this Hu monk tell the reason, and this Hu Seng said:

"This son is the body and ears of Zhuge Wuhou. When Wuhou was the season of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was the prime minister of Shu, and the Shu people were given by it for a long time. Born in the world today, he will be the handsome of the Shu men and be blessed by the Shu people. I was in Jianmen in the past, and I was friendly with this son. Today, I heard that it fell on Merriam-Webster, and I was not far away. ”

I don't know if this story is true or not, but Wei Gao has ruled Shu for many years, and it is really as the story says, bless the people of Shu, so Wei Gao's reputation in Shu is not inferior to Zhuge Liang. Wei Gao himself also paid great respect to the Buddha because of this, and went to the temple every year to give alms.

In the minds of the Shu people, there is almost nothing that Wei Zhongwu Wang, Wei Ambassador, Wei Zhongshuling, Wei Linggong, and Wei Taiwei can't do, Xue Tao is not a Shu person, but he is also deeply influenced by the Shu people.

Xue Tao just wanted to open his mouth to comfort Wei Gao, but Wei Gao turned around abruptly and said:

"Pack up and get ready to go back to Chengdu."

"Are you all packed?"

"Packed up."

"Then let's hit the road!"

"Wait, master, do you really want to sneak back to Chang'an?"

"There's Mrs. Law. What Wei Chengwu said in the letter is very reasonable, people's hearts are unpredictable, since those traitors were able to expelle me from the court at the beginning, they will now try their best to prevent me from returning to the court. If we can't stop it, we will send someone to assassinate me, as they did not long ago. Lu is already fifty-three this year, and those who have died once, how much time can they have to serve the country? Since Your Majesty has summoned me back to the court, I must have entrusted me with important matters. How can I sit here? Thinking about it, it is still Wei Chengwu who said that it is better to repair the plank road in the light and Chen Cang in the dark. ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry, I'm not going alone. Three days after I leave, Lord Liu will leave after entrusting the government affairs to the adjutant, and after Lord Liu leaves, you can arrange the affairs of the family. Remember, don't take away things that aren't from our family, and those who borrow from the government must be returned to the government. ”

"Master, don't worry, how many times, can I not know? Be careful on the road. ”

Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from the door:

"Lu Xianggong!"

Lu Zhen turned his head and saw that it was Liu Zongyuan, and said:

"It turned out to be Zihou. Zihou, as soon as the old man leaves, the burden will all be on your shoulders. The rest is up to you. ”

Liu Zongyuan Zhengse said:

"Lu Xiangxiu wants to say this kind of thing, to protect Lu Xianghu thoroughly, this is what His Majesty has repeatedly instructed Zong Yuan before he comes, it is a matter within Zong Yuan's responsibility, and Zong Yuan is guaranteed in front of His Majesty. Lu Xiang, please rest assured, although this trip is dangerous, Liu Zongyuan will definitely do his best to live up to the trust of His Majesty and Lu Xiang. ”

Lu Zhen said:

"Of course the old man Zihou can be trusted, but this is dangerous, Zihou should also be careful of himself!"

Liu Zongyuan was moved for a while and said:

"Lu Xiang rest assured, Zong Yuan must be careful everywhere."

Lu Zhen nodded and said, "That's fine." Here, get it! ”

Mrs. Lu handed over a box, Lu Zhen held the box, and said:

"Zi Hou, this is the old man's experience for many years of politics and literature, these days and Zi Hou get along day and night, see Zi Hou is good at learning and morality, the old man is very emotional, it is really the Yangtze River back wave to push the front wave, over time, Zi Hou's achievements will inevitably be no less than the old man. If Zihou doesn't dislike it, after you and I return to Chang'an, how about Zihou being the old man's protégé? ”

Liu Zongyuan didn't expect Lu Zhen to love him like this, Lu Zhen looked forward to the world, and becoming Lu Zhen's protégé was something that many people couldn't think of, seeing that Lu Zhen had this intention, he knelt down and said:

"Zong Yuanmeng will not give up, he has seen his teacher!"

Lu Zhen picked up Liu Zongyuan, smiled heartily, and said:

"If you have to do this, hurry up! In this way, the old man will take the first step, and I will meet in Chang'an! ”

Liu Zongyuan bowed and said:

"Good luck with the teacher!"
