The weather is very hot, but what is even hotter is the hearts of the people, the battle outside the Saiwai, which was not very interesting, since the victory reported to Beijing, it was only one night after the reunion, and it spread in the Beijing Division, everyone was talking about this matter, as if they could not keep up with the trend if they did not express their views on this matter, so that acquaintances would unconsciously ask a sentence: "Do you know?" Outside the plug won again. It's like asking someone "Have you eaten?" As for the courage of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, has been mentioned to an unattainable height, so some people can't sit still, and in the churning of victory, a dark tide began to surge in the capital.

Time is really a good medicine to dilute the memory, with the passage of time, originally because of the Han King Li Yuanchang conspiracy implicated and decayed Tianxianglou (that is, the original Beijing Division of the first restaurant Wanhualou) after a period of dismal business, gradually regained its vitality, and with its profound heritage gradually became one of the top restaurants in Beijing, although compared to its heyday of the grand occasion of dominating Beijing, there is still a big gap, but the business is an indisputable fact, this is not, Although the weather is hot enough, but there are still many guests who come to eat in Tianxianglou, if you don't explain in advance, not to mention the top box on the fourth floor, it is difficult to get on the ordinary box on the second and third floors, and the hot scene is really mouthwatering, today's Tianxianglou is full again without exception, not to mention the box, the hall on the first floor is overcrowded, the little two are busy, and they get the reward money softly, and they are all smiling so much that their mouths are almost closed, however, compared to the excitement downstairs, The several boxes on the top floor are very quiet, more than a dozen big men dressed in the clothes of the shopkeeper guard the staircase, all the guests who tried to go upstairs were politely and resolutely blocked, but no one dared to express their dissatisfaction with this, after all, the people of the Manjing Division knew that the backstage boss of this building was His Royal Highness King Wei, and no one had the courage to be presumptuous here.

Listening to Tao Xuan, although its name has not changed, but after the decoration of Ting Tao Xuan has long been no longer the original rich and compelling appearance, the furnishings are very simple, but whether it is a few low in the room, a slightly higher desk, calligraphy and painting on the wall or a bonsai in the corner, flowers on the windowsill, etc., all look simple and chic, full of gentle and elegant atmosphere, at this time, spacious and bright Ting Tao Xuan only two people sit silently opposite each other, don't look at these two people are ordinary can no longer be ordinary scribe dress, however, If there are people who know their details here, they will definitely cry out in surprise - these two people are Su Qianhe, the head of the household and Li Qianhe, the head of the Ministry - among the people of the Wei Dynasty in Beijing, Su Miao's official rank is not the highest, however, he is a real commander and brain, appearing in the Tianxiang Building, which is the largest source of income for the Wei Wang's family in Beijing, it is not surprising at all, but Li Qianhe, the king of Yue, who has the highest official rank in the hands of the people of Beijing, is also listening to Taoxuan, which is very suspicious. What's even more interesting is that these two people just knelt and sat face to face, not to mention talking, they didn't even move, just like two mud bodhisattvas.

Both of them are scheming people, and they don't lack patience, but time is very precious for Su Miao, and it is really a waste, although he still can't guess Li Qianhe's intention, but he doesn't want to sit down so wordlessly anymore, he stretched out his hand and picked up the tea bowl on a few sons, and said with a smile: "Brother Yanting, please." ”

Su Qianhe's opening could be regarded as breaking the tacit understanding of silence between each other, Li Qianhe didn't pretentiously, smiled, and also reached out to pick up the tea that was already a little cold, and replied: "Brother Shen Xing, please." ”

"Brother Yanting, but you're here for tomorrow's court discussion?" Su Miao has dealt with Li Qianhe a lot, and he knows that the other party is not a good stubble, and he doesn't plan to go around in circles with Li Qianhe, so he simply spread it out.

Li Qianhe really didn't expect Su Qianhe to go straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, and some of them couldn't react for a while, but fortunately, Li Qianhe covered it up well, and quickly adjusted his mentality under the pretense of putting down the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's not." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Su Miao's heart moved, and he asked casually.

Li Qianhe smiled and did not answer this question directly, but asked: "Brother Shen Xing, Liu Ting's nephew's calligraphy is really good, and his poems are also excellent. ”

Su Xuan, the word Liuting, the eldest son of Su Xuan, is now over eighteen, and has reached the age when he can be recommended as an official - according to the Tang system, people like Su Xuan, who has the status of a horse captain, can be recommended to enter the court as an official, and can also participate in the Ming Jing, Jinshi and other imperial examinations. Su Xuan has been studious since he was a child, both civil and military, but he disdains to take the road of shade, but participated in the examination of the Ming Jing Department, and he has been selected for the undergraduate degree, and now it is time to elect officials, but whether he can be counted and what kind of official can be selected has to be decided by the Ministry of Officials, and Li Qianhe, who is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, happens to be the person who presides over the election of officials. At this time, Li Qianhe suddenly mentioned this matter, which immediately made Su Miao's heart sink, but Su Miao's city was deep, and he didn't bring it to his face, but just shook his hand with a smile and said: "Brother Yanting has a good reputation, the dog is young and frivolous, it is really difficult to be so praised by the elder brother, it still needs to be sharpened for a few more years, and the brother plans to make him travel to Beijing first and then make a decision." ”

Although Su Xuan's words were polite, the meaning inside was very clear, that is, to tell Li Qianhe, don't expect to use Su Xuan's election to coerce yourself, it's a big deal that this official doesn't do it, and there is nothing that can't be done, Li Qianhe understands this words, but he didn't break it, but laughed and said: "What Brother Shen Xing said is reasonable, this so-called jade is not carved and cannot be carved, but then, wasting time is not a way, what does Brother Shen Xing think?" ”

Su Xuan is the pride of Su Xuan - because he is the confidant of Li Tai, the king of Wei, Su Xuan has almost no free time, and it can be said that Su Xuan's success is completely the result of his own efforts and diligence. As a father, Su Miao has a deep sense of guilt for his eldest son, but it is impossible for him to compensate for the principle, at this time, listening to Li Qianhe say this, although he is very angry in his heart, but his face is still like a spring breeze, and he said lightly: "The ancients, travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books, this sincerity is also the way, a certain dare not disobey, and it is okay for the little dog to do it." ”

"Words are great!" Li Qianhe laughed and applauded: "Brother Shen Xing is sincere, and the younger brother is impressed, but according to the younger brother, it seems that it is better for the two to go hand in hand." ”

Su Miao really didn't want to talk more about this matter, so he smiled and stopped talking, but Li Qianhe didn't seem to notice Su Miao's attitude, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen Xing may not know, Liu Ting's nephew has submitted a document to the Ministry of Officials, and voluntarily became an official. ”

As soon as Li Qianhe said this, he immediately smashed on Su Miao's heart like a hammer, Rao is Su Miao's face couldn't help but change, he knelt silently, didn't say a word for a long time, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "If the idiot has such aspirations, he is comforted, and if he wants to go, he will go." ”

Seeing that Su Miao refused to let go, Li Qianhe also admired his style very much, but he did not forget the purpose of his trip, and when Su Miao's emotional words were settled, he immediately smiled and said: "Although it is a little hard, it is where there is a lot to be done, and it is not difficult to make contributions." ”

This sounds true - the situation outside the Sai is changing now, the expansion of the Tang Dynasty is as unstoppable as an avalanche, and the officials are really in short supply, and it is inevitable that the official rank will rise with the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, but it also depends on the person, right? At least for officials who are not in the Yue Dynasty's lineage, it may not be a good choice to go to Saiwai, not to mention Su Miao's son, who was not sent by Li Zhen to be cannon fodder, even if he was lenient, as for promotion, there is almost no possibility, Su Miao, it is not that he does not understand the trick, and he also knows that since Li Qianhe dares to say so, then Su Xuan's going to the Western Regions is only afraid that it is irreversible, and he can't help but feel a pain in his heart, but his face is still very calm, and he said with a light smile: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and a certain old man can't control so much." ”

"Brother Shen Xing's words are fallacious, my brother is in the back of the year, how can he say the word 'old'." Seeing Su Miao's calm appearance, Li Qianhe knew that the time was almost ripe, and said with a smile, and immediately changed the topic without waiting for Su Miao's interface: "A certain has received a letter from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and Cheng Ge, the assassin of Yizhou, will be transferred to the post of assassin of the newly established Mingzhou (the entire territory of the former Shule Kingdom), and now the assassin of Yizhou is vacant, I don't know if anyone wants to recommend it?" ”

As soon as Li Qianhe's words came out, Su Miao's heart immediately twitched, and he already understood Li Qianhe's intention - the so-called 'whether someone wants to recommend or not' is just a pretext, in fact, this is the cooperation conditions offered by the Yue Wang family! Su Miao is also from the Guanlong aristocracy, adhering to the Guanlong aristocracy's always Guanzhong standard, however, Su Miao is a wise man after all, and he still has a vision, but he is not limited to just staring at the land of Beijing, in his opinion, after the implementation of various measures outside the Saiwai, it will inevitably become strong, if it is not for Li Zhen's ascendancy, then the land of the Western Regions will definitely become a big trouble for the imperial court, therefore, no matter from what point of view, it is impossible for him to sit back and watch Li Zhen's power expand further. He had already decided to stumble on Anxi no matter what, and for this reason, he had reached a consensus with Ye Ling, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, all night, and the two forces decided to advance and retreat together during the court meeting, however, when Li Qianhe proposed that the Wei Wang family should control Yizhou, Su Miao's determination immediately wavered.

Yizhou is the earliest state developed in Anxi, its wealth is second only to Hezhou (that is, the original entire territory of Khotan), ranking second among the six states under the Saiwai eye, but because it is at the junction of the Guannei and Guanwai, it is equivalent to choking the throat of the six states outside the Saiwai, and the importance of its strategic position is much higher than that of other states. Now Li Qianhe has openly taken out the position of Yizhou Assassin History, how can he not make Su Qianhe excited, if it is a different person, he must have immediately agreed, but Su Miao is not an outsider, as a wise man, he will never easily accept something before he understands the purpose behind Li Qianhe's move, but he thinks about it but still can't figure out what Li Qianhe's true intention is, so he didn't dare to speak easily, just smiled and didn't speak.

Su Miao didn't speak, and Li Qianhe didn't say anything more, got up with a smile, arched his hand and said, "Brother Shen Xing is busy, the younger brother won't bother much, and say goodbye." ”

Su Miao didn't expect Li Qianhe to get up and leave without waiting for a conclusion, and for a while some people couldn't react, and they were stunned for a moment, then they got up, their lips moved, and they still didn't say anything to save them at the end, but just smiled and said: "Brother Yanting is easy to go, so I won't send it for my brother." ”

"Stay, stay." Li Qianhe smiled and nodded, turned around and walked out of Tingtaoxuan, and walked downstairs without looking back, several of the elders he brought immediately followed, hugged Li Qianhe downstairs, went out and got into the carriage, and went away like this, leaving Su Miao alone in the building thinking about Li Qianhe's true intentions......

It's hard to say if there is an impermeable wall in this world, at least there is no Chang'an City, no, it's not yet night, the matter of Su Miao and Li Qianhe's noon secret meeting has been spread in the Beijing Division, and those well-informed people have already known about it, and even Li Qianhe's joint conditions have been spread, making the Beijing Division full of smoke and miasma, saying everything, and the result is that people's hearts are completely confused......

No matter how chaotic the hearts of the people are, the earth will rotate, the sun will always rise, under the different expectations of different people, the morning of July 24 of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan still arrived as promised, early in the morning, the courtiers hurried to the court, chatting, while waiting for the beginning of the early dynasty, of course, the Anxi victory has become the focus of the courtiers' discussion without dispute, but, although the big guy said quite lively, but no one will reveal their tendency in words, in general, it is just a sigh of the grandeur of the outside world, But there is not much value at all, but people with a heart have noticed a strange thing, that is, as the core figure of the Yue Dynasty's family in Beijing, Li Qianhe, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, has not seen anyone until the early dynasty is about to start, which is really baffling, no, not only Su Miao and Ye Ling are scratching their heads, but the eldest grandson Wuji, who has always been smiling, also frowned, but no one can guess what tricks Li Qianhe is playing.

"Upper Dynasty"

"Upper Dynasty"

……

The sound of the eunuchs shouting came out from the inner court for a while, and the courtiers who were busy with nonsense sorted out their appearances in a panic, lined up in a queue and prepared to enter the Taiji Hall for deliberations, but at such a busy moment, Li Qianhe, whose forehead was full of sweat, trotted all the way over, and that hurried appearance made people feel strange when they saw it, but Li Qianhe didn't care about his embarrassed appearance at all, greeted the courtiers with a smile, and went to the queue, and when he passed by Su Miao's side, he paused, smiled and whispered: "Brother Shen Xing, please leave this matter here." The voice was said to be low, but it could make people on the left and right hear it clearly, and what was even more interesting was that as soon as Li Qianhe's voice fell, he didn't even give Su Miao time to react, so he nodded his head and squeezed straight to the front, which suddenly made Su Miao the focus of everyone's attention.

The yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, it was not but was, knowing that Li Qianhe said it was purely intentional, but Su Miao was helpless, after all, he couldn't say that he had nothing to do with Li Qianhe at this time, and it was too much to say that there was no silver three hundred taels here. Seeing that he had become the target of public attention so inexplicably, Su Miao shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he really didn't know what to say. Although Ye Ling, who was at the back of the queue, had never heard what Li Qianhe was saying, it could be seen that Su Miao's expression seemed to be wrong, and his heart moved, as if he remembered something, and frowned quickly, but he didn't say anything else, just silently followed the queue to the passage into the palace.

In the early dynasty, the rules came and went so old-fashioned, but there was nothing to say, and when the ministers had finished saluting, Li Shimin did not wait for the courtiers to go to the book, so he took the lead in setting the tone of today's deliberations: "All Aiqing must have known, Anxi Jiebao has arrived in Beijing, destroyed the Three Kingdoms, annihilated nearly 100,000 enemies, expanded thousands of miles, can be described as a big victory, I am very relieved, today only discuss this matter, the rest of the matter is postponed." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a rare victory for our dynasty since Zhenguan, congratulations, the old minister has received a letter sent by His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and wants to change the original report to Khotan to Hezhou, Shule State is named Mingzhou, Qiuzi Country is changed to Anzhou, and it is planned to transfer Yizhou Thorn Shi Cheng Ge will go to Mingzhou, Bao Song Yuan Yue Wangfu Records to join the army Yan Chengning for the history of the Zhou Thorn, the former Yue Wangfu Records to join the army Lin Xiangting for the Anzhou Thorn History, to adjust the whole Anxi to four towns, the former Yumen Pass deputy town guard Xiao Dalong for the Hezhou Town Guard, the former Anxi Cavalry Deputy Commander, Mingyuan General Liu Xuanfeng is the envoy of Mingzhou Town, the former deputy commander of the Anxi Ranger Army, General Zhuangwu is the envoy of Yizhou Town, and the former deputy commander of the Anxi Cavalry Sha Feituo is the envoy of Yangzhou Town...... The ministers did not dare to be arbitrary, and asked the Holy Judge. Since the emperor Lao'er said "very comforting", the prime minister Fang Xuanling, who is the head of the hundred officials, has to take the lead in making a list to clarify his attitude, but he easily submitted the hot potato-Li Zhen's submission, and let the emperor make a decision by himself, but it is the proper meaning of the question.

Li Zhen's recital, together with the subsequent merit excerpt Li Shimin, has already seen it, and he has already made a decision in his heart, but he didn't plan to announce it immediately, if nothing else, he has to show the bearing of a virtuous king, right? Therefore, as soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, Li Shimin raised his hand with a smile and motioned for Fang Xuanling to flatten his body, and then calmly glanced at the ministers, and slowly spoke: "What do you Aiqing think about this, let's talk about it, I want to listen to the opinions of the audience Aiqing." ”

Although Li Shimin's words were plain, but before the ministers figured out the holy will and found out the hole cards of all parties, no one wanted to be the first bird, and for a while, the hall was cold because of this......
