[Chapter 2: The Storm Rises from the Ground] (2)

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty basically has to go to Lishan to live for a period of time every winter, in order not to delay state affairs, even with the government and ministers have to follow the past, so Lishan not only has a palace, but also many courtiers' courtyards. There are more dignitaries and nobles, and the number of soldiers and horses responsible for guarding has also increased a lot, plus the government soldiers guarding Chang'an, adding up to 200,000.

Xiao Jiangyuan had some guesses about Li Longji's thoughts, but he didn't know if it was right or not, so he asked: "Everyone wants to go to Lishan, but is it because the terrain at the foot of Lishan is open?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan's rapid progress made Li Longji a little surprised, but he refused to show it on his face, and only said dryly: "There is indeed this reason, but not only because of this." ”

If you can guess one correctly, it means that the direction is right, Xiao Jiangyuan nodded, then smiled lightly and stopped talking, and did not take Li Longji's "disapproval" in his eyes - in Li Longji's view, it became extremely humble.

She can see through this much more than before, and if she can guess the new prime minister, this time she will be qualified. Li Longji didn't know why, Xiao Jiangyuan's progress meant that she was more and more comfortable as a eunuch, and she would only get farther and farther away from her status as a woman, and she would also get farther and farther away from him, but he was not unhappy, and he was happy for her. Maybe it's because she did it well, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for him.

Well, it must be because of this.

She is trying to be a good minister, and he is also working in the direction of Mingjun to let the Tang Dynasty approach the prosperous world. The feeling of the two going hand in hand made Li Longji feel fresh and sweet.

— but it doesn't make him feel satisfied and satisfied. In his opinion, the best outcome for a man and a woman to fall in love is to marry and marry two surnames. Being together also needs to be justified, and being secretive and sneaky like now, Li Longji can endure it for a while, but he can't bear it for a lifetime.

In the future, the world will be safe, the prosperous world will be peaceful, and his and her dreams will be completed......

How long will it take? Thinking of this, Li Longji couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Li Longji's plan to go to Lishan was soon made public in the government and the opposition. In fact, even if Li Longji doesn't say it, it is customary to go to Lishan in winter, and the courtiers will mention it sooner or later, so many people don't think much about it, but Zhongshu Ling, that is, the chief prime minister Zhang Shuo, thinks about it a lot.

He has been observing the Son of Heaven for a long time, so others have not seen it, but he can see a lot, such as the Son of Heaven's tolerance and dissatisfaction with the heroes. The previous heroes did not end very well, and many times the reason was not in the emperor's belly, but that there were indeed problems with the heroes themselves, such as the high merit and the lord did not converge, and he dared to fight against the Son of Heaven, isn't that looking for death?

He didn't want to be like that. While the Son of Heaven is still young, he doesn't have much experience, and some of his experience is not old, after all, he has paid many respects to the elders of the four dynasties, and he can still deal with it, and some things should be prepared for a rainy day, such as Yi Xiang.

Not to mention that the saint is dissatisfied with most prime ministers, why shouldn't he? Those people are the material for being prime ministers, if it weren't for him for such a long time, the government would have been out of the country a long time ago. As long as it is a normal emperor, it is inevitable to want to change.

Zhang said that he was glad that everything was still in his expectations, and he had the qualifications and ability to be by his side, even if he was easy to face, it should not be his turn, but the other meritorious partners, except for the newly appointed Liu Youqiu, may not be able to. His lips were cold, Zhang said that he had to plan for the long term, he couldn't just watch from the sidelines, he had to do something to influence the candidate for the new prime minister, at least don't be one who is at odds with him, otherwise he will not be far from the prime minister.

Therefore, he was very sensitive to the Son of Heaven's every move, and the Son of Heaven proposed to go to Lishan, so he couldn't help but contact Yi Xiang. It didn't matter if there was a connection, what mattered was that he really saw something.

Don't let that person worship him, a saint......

Just in case, Zhang Shuo immediately found Zhao Yanzhao, a good friend of the imperial historian, and asked him to write a letter to impeach that person. Zhao Yanzhao presented the recital on the second day, but there was no response.

According to the order in which this young emperor dealt with the slack, it was the major military affairs, the impeachment of the imperial history, and the greetings of hundreds of officials. The biggest thing at the moment is the drought and lack of food in Guanzhong, this matter has been handled well, and there is no relevant table on this day, so Dr. Zhao's impeachment table, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven not to see it, but if you want to be a Ming monarch, how can you not pay attention to the impeachment of the imperial history?

Zhang said that he was a little anxious, does this mean that the new prime minister who the Son of Heaven wants to replace is that person, so he will cover it up like this?

If that person worships the prime minister, then what else does he say? In terms of ability, he is not as good as that person, in terms of prestige, he is not as good as that person, he has more or less discord with that person, as long as that person comes, and there is the support of the Son of Heaven, he Zhang said that he can only admit defeat. Although he was old, he was unwilling to be better than a young man, so he turned his head and went to find Jiang Jiao, the Duke of Chu.

Jiang Jiao, who has been friends with Li Longji since childhood, has long been a good family, and has a very good relationship with the queen and the queen's mother's family. He is also the eunuch of the palace, responsible for many matters related to the emperor, and he also has a lot of work intersection with Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan was not familiar with him before, and he couldn't help but become familiar with him these days - Jiang Jiao is very familiar, enthusiastic and funny.

At noon on this day, Xiao Jiangyuan just came out of the right prison guard, and saw Jiang Jiao in a hurry, under normal circumstances, Jiang Jiao must have run over to greet him first, but this time it was very abnormal, he didn't seem to see himself at all. Since they knew each other, there was no reason not to say hello when they met, as soon as Xiao Jiangyuan approached, he saw a man catching up with Jiang Jiao.

Looking at the man's outfit, it happened to be a small straight length of the right Qianniu guard next door to the right prison guard. That little straight chief and Jiang Jiao not only knew each other, but also got very close, there was a bit of forbearance and anxiety on his face, and his lips were full of helpless and bitter smiles, as if he was blocking Jiang Jiao.

It seemed that someone had something to do, so Xiao Jiangyuan arched his hand from afar, turned around and wanted to take the first step, but he didn't want Jiang Jiao to see her at this time, so he hurriedly came over and grabbed her: "The crow slave wants to enter the palace?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan straightened his posture and smiled slightly: "Exactly." ”

"Kyaukya also happened to have something to meet the saint, so he stopped by." Jiang Jiao changed his attitude and said with a smile.

"yes, that's a coincidence." Xiao Jiangyuan said, turning his eyes to look at Qianniu Zhichang who was standing on the side, and this look, he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

It looks like he is the same age as her Ah Lang, and he has grown a short beard, but the difference is that her Ah Lang has a mustache, short and capable, and he can be a little cunning when he raises his lips and smiles, while he has goat's whiskers. He has a pair of Danfeng eyes, although he has lowered his eyes respectfully since he saw Xiao Jiangyuan, but the corners of his slightly raised eyes are still visible.

He looks like a cunning person.

"Haven't you seen the general of the right prison guard soon?" Jiang Jiao said busily while smiling at Xiao Jiangyuan, "This is the son of my sister's family, after the clan, his name is Lin Fu, his family is ten, and he is a small brother slave." ”

"It turned out to be Juro, Koke." Li Linfu? After the clan, he only made a small straight head, no wonder Xiao Jiangyuan hadn't heard of him.

"He's the most verbose, I'm his uncle, what can I do, what can't I do, can I be more confused than him?" Jiang Jiao glanced at Li Linfu pointedly, although he complained, his eyes were full of pity, "Okay, you go back, I know it in my heart." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Xiao Jiangyuan's arm, and went straight to Changle Gate and entered the Taiji Palace.

Li Linfu was left staring at the back of his uncle and the eunuch leaving, secretly raising his lips, and muttering: "If you don't listen to me, something will definitely happen, let's wait and see." ”

On the way to the palace, Jiang Jiao, as before, told Xiao Jiangyuan about some strange news that he had heard recently, but the strange news was limited after all, so when Jiang Jiao finished speaking, the two had not yet arrived at the Wude Palace. Xiao Jiangyuan interjected and asked: "I don't know why the prince entered the palace today to find a saint?" Don't get me wrong, the slave just wants to see if there is a place where the slave can help, if the country is inconvenient to disclose, it doesn't hurt not to say it. ”

Jiang Jiao thought for a while and said, "There's nothing inconvenient, anyway, the sage should agree, and you will know sooner or later." Didn't someone say that I would have a good relationship with the saint queen and give the prime minister the right to deliberate, but it would be useless? I'm going to show them today that my power is still useful—I, I'm looking for a saint today, and I'm going to recommend officials. ”
