Li Ge was talking to him, but he didn't hear an answer, and when he looked back, he realized that he was distracted.

"Yushen?"

Ji Yushen came back to his senses and showed an apologetic smile to Elder Li Ge, "I just got distracted." ”

Li Ge Lao followed his gaze and saw the back of Su Qing walking alone in the direction he was looking at, and was a little disdainful, "This Su Qing is really unclear, but it is just to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to Concubine Zhao, and now he is really standing up for Concubine Zhao." Could it be that he has been praised for his honesty and honesty, and he really thinks that he is some kind of selfless loyalty? Which one is really clean as an official in the court? It's just a matter of who cleans the feathers better. ”

Li Gelao's words unconsciously scolded him himself.

Ji Yushen showed a secretive smile, "Father-in-law, why don't you let me persuade Master Su and listen to his attitude." If you can persuade you, it's good, and if you can't persuade you, you can at least find out some news. ”

Ji Yushen has always been articulate and quick-witted, and Li Ge Lao had nothing to worry about him, so he nodded and agreed with him.

"That's fine. Go ahead, by the way—"

Elder Li Ge suddenly remembered something, and said, "Ziyue is about to give birth, so it's better for you to go back to accompany her earlier." ”

With the death of the Li family, the second prince was also moved to the name of Yan Concubine and rarely got close to the Li family, and Li Ge Lao put more thoughts on Li Ziyue and the fetus in her womb.

Ji Yushen is regarded as a son-in-law, and the birth of this child in the future will be the orthodox bloodline of the Li family, and it is also the biggest thought of Li Gelao.

Why didn't Ji Yushen know Li Gelao's plans?

only said: "Yes, my son-in-law understands." ”

After saying that, he bowed, and then strode forward, and finally caught up with Su Qing outside the palace gate.

Su Qing was a little surprised to see him stop in front of him, and the subordinates who carried the sedan chair in the house didn't know what to do, whether to continue to welcome Su Qing into the sedan chair or wait for him to talk to Ji Yushen.

It is said that these two adults are the new favorites of the emperor and are very important ministers. But they belong to different factions, and Ji Yushen is the mainstay of Li Ge's old party!

Ji Yushen smiled and spoke in time, "Master Su, I know that there is an excellent tavern outside the city gate, and the osmanthus brew there is very mellow. If Lord Su is willing to appreciate his face, why don't you go for a drink with this official? ”

In terms of grade, Ji Yushen's official position is higher than that of Su Qing.

Su Qingqing glanced around and nodded yes, "Okay, then ask Master Ji to lead the way." ”

The sedan chair of the two went out of the city at the same time, Su Qing has always been obsessed with political affairs, and rarely has leisure to go out of the city to play. Seeing Ji Yushen's invitation today, he simply opened the curtain of the car and looked at the scenery outside the window.

I saw a newly built rainbow-shaped bridge and the street surface of Qiaotou Street, a rough look, crowded and chaotic; If you take a closer look, these people are people from different walks of life and are engaged in various activities.

There are some vendors and many tourists on the west side of the bridge. There are knives, scissors, and miscellaneous goods on the stalls. There are those who sell tea, and there are those who read fortunes. Many visitors leaned on the railings on the side of the bridge, or pointed or watched the boats passing by in the river. On the sidewalk in the middle of the bridge, there is a bustling crowd. Flow; There are those who sit in sedan chairs, those who ride horses, those who carry burdens, those who drive donkeys to carry goods, and those who push wheelbarrows......

The south side of the bridge is connected to the main street. On both sides of the street are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops. There are also many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The streets stretch east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but there are still pedestrians on the streets: some carrying burdens, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull wagons, and some stopping to enjoy the scenery of the Bianhe River.

With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are lined up, and there are tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, temples, public houses, and so on. In the store, there are specialized in silk and satin, jewelry and spices, incense paper horses, etc., in addition, there are also medical clinics, cart repair, fortune telling, face trimming, and all walks of life. There are businessmen doing business, there are gentry watching the street scene, there are officials riding horses, there are hawkers, there are family members who sit in sedan chairs, there are monks who carry baskets, there are tourists from other places who ask for directions, there are street children who listen to stories, there are children of wealthy families who drink in restaurants, there are disabled old people who beg on the edge of the city, men and women, old and young, scholars, farmers and businessmen, three religions and nine streams, everything is prepared......

He is an official who cares about the people, and he is very comfortable to see the prosperous scene of the capital in front of him.

When the carriage left the city gate, the scenery was very different from the city. The population is gradually decreasing, the buildings are gradually getting shorter, the shade of the trees is thick and green, and the rivers on both sides of the suburban paths have accumulated into pools, and there are many lotus flowers blooming in them.

Outside there are dragonflies, butterflies and so on stop at the flowers. The tip of the bud is on the top, and it is a midsummer beauty.

The emerald green summer is gradually deep and mature in the heat wave, the jasmine is like snow, the crape myrtle is blue, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red......

Maybe it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Su Qing at this time is completely different from the official who hung his head and walked alone after the early dynasty, and he has returned to his previous hearty and open-mindedness.

After a long time, they finally arrived at the tavern that Ji Yushen said, the carriage stopped, and Su Qing and Ji Yushen each got out of the sedan car and went in.

The tavern is not big and the place is quiet. It seems that there are no other guests except Su Qing and the others. I don't know if it's because it's still early, or because it's too quiet and there are very few guests.

Obviously, Ji Yushen is a frequent visitor here, and Xiao Er is familiar with the two of them to the private room upstairs, the windows on all sides are open, and the outside is still an empty suburban scene.

Ji Yushen said: "Speaking here, Master Su can rest assured." ”

Su Qing stood outside the window and glanced out, turned around, smiled and bowed his hand deeply to Ji Yushen, "It's inconvenient to be in the palace just now, Xia Guan really wants to thank Master Ji this time for saving the little girl's life!" ”

Ji Yushen smiled and stepped forward to support him, "Master Su doesn't have to be so polite. The adults are conscientious and dedicated to the emperor and the people in the court, and it would be too unfair if the only daughter still became a victim of the power struggle in the harem and sacrificed in the queen's means. ”

Su Qing straightened up at this time, "It's just that the lower official has something unclear, why does Lord Ji want to help the lower official?" Could it be that this time, the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government impeached Concubine Zhao, and the mastermind was not Li Gelao? ”

Ji Yushen knew that he had this question.

When he encouraged Su Qing to take the lead in asking for Su Youyi's life, he once said to Su Qing that if Su Youyi fell, the queen would be the first to attack the noble person who was closest to Su Youyi.

At that time, it was rumored in the palace that the queen punished the nobles in Changchun. Kneeling under the scorching sun outside the palace, Su Qing loved his daughter, and he didn't dare to stand up for Su Youyi, but he had to come forward.
