Miao Ying nodded.

Xiao Jiangyuan looked back at Chang'an, and saw that there were many houses and high-rise buildings, pedestrians were rich and poor, busy or calm, and there was a faintly visible temple in the distance, and above that, there were clouds like smoke.

"This is Chang'an, the center of the whole world. It is prosperous and prosperous, and it enshrines the highest and greatest power in the world. Why should I give up everything here, leave here, go to a place I am not familiar with or interested in, and start over? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan always has a light smile in front of people, his smile is gentle, he looks very harmless, and he does not have any danger and attack. As a result, she is always trusted and approachable. Maoying was also deceived by her appearance at first, and after a deep relationship, she gradually understood what was the real her.

He saw that her eyes were deep and distant at the moment, and he stated lightly: "The general is for the saint." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan did not deny it: "Here is everything I have dedicated most of my life, and there are people I swear allegance to the death." Out of here, without him, I'm nothing, nothing. ”

"Even if he is very amorous, complacent, happy, and ridiculous?"

It is rare for Maoying to be so emotionally exposed, her words are fierce, and she dares to say that she is not the son of heaven. Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at Mao Ying thoughtfully, and smiled slightly: "If I hear these words again, I won't protect you." ”

"I can't say it, but it doesn't mean it's not true."

Seeing that she was unmoved, she was unprecedentedly aggressive, Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Shouldn't you be...... Jealous, right? ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Mao Ying immediately fell silent.

"Next, I'm going to drive to Lishan, and I won't be back until about two months later."

Xiao Jiangyuan never bought another business near Lishan, and Mao Ying was a man, so he couldn't live with Princess Yuzhen, so he had to stay in Chang'an.

"Maoying will be optimistic about the portal and wait for the general to come back."

"Doctor Han and Ah Quan are gone, only you and those few cleaning girls are left in the house, if you are lonely, it is okay to go out to find a few little ladies, in the past, the Zhang brothers did not only serve Princess Taiping before entering the palace."

"But they finally met Empress Zetian."

“…… So? ”

"Mi Ying met the general."

Xiao Jiangyuan really wanted to tell Mao Ying that he didn't have to be loyal to this point, but when he met his focused and serious gaze, she couldn't speak.

Almost every year around October, Li Longji will drive the Tangquan Palace in Xingli Mountain. This time in the sixth year of Tianbao, he also changed the name of Tangquan Palace to Huaqing Palace.

The five Yang brothers and sisters followed closely behind the royal car, each family was a team, each team wore a color of clothes, and under the sun, the five families in the same family were as colorful and beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming. Among them, the accompanying maids and maids were all dressed in brocade and cui, together with the purses and other things on their bodies, but it was not a pity to go all the way and fall all the way, which caused hundreds of people to scramble.

The civil and military officials rode horses, and because of the opening of the prosperous era, many female dependents also stepped out of the carriage and rode on horseback. Mrs. Yu Guo was dressed in a beard suit, and even Mi Li withdrew, and Yang Zhao walked side by side on the side of the royal bowl, except for the imperial palace, this is the most eye-catching place in the group.

Xiao Jiangyuan rode his horse on the other side of the royal court, and when he heard Li Longji ask why Mrs. Qiu Guo always didn't wear makeup, he also set his eyes on Mrs. Qiu Guo, who had a high bun like clouds and long eyebrows and sideburns.

Under the brilliant sky, Mrs. Qiu Guo is even more white and bright. Her eyebrows were covered with a scarlet flower, her lips and cheeks were dotted with a little water-red rouge, and she had no other makeup. Since she met Li Longji for the first time, she has understood Li Longji's temperament, and she has never paid too much attention to the rules with him. Now when she heard him ask, she didn't answer immediately and respectfully, but was silent for a while before she asked leisurely, "What does the saint think?" ”

"The third aunt must be disgusted with the heavy fat powder, but she stained the color, so she swept away the moth eyebrows, even to meet the Son of Heaven." Li Longji smiled and glanced at Yang Yuhuan, "I finally know now, where did your audacity come from." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind arose. Li Longji immediately grabbed Yang Yuhuan's cloak, and stretched out his arm to pick up his cloak and block it in front of Yang Yuhuan. When the wind stopped, he looked at the little lady in his arms, then at himself, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Everyone was puzzled, but Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at Li Longji lightly, coughed lightly, and reminded him to be honest, don't say some things if you can, but I heard Yang Yuhuan already ask:

"What is Saburo laughing at?"

Li Longji never lied to Yang Yuhuan, and he never responded to Yang Yuhuan's questions, so he had to say: "The third aunt is about to be blown off the horse, but fortunately, there is Zhaolang to protect her." ”

“…… So what? ”

"If it's you, then no matter how much the wind is."

Yang Yuhuan: "......"

Li Longji knew that Yang Yuhuan didn't have to worry about him, but when he reacted, his body had already protected her. He wasn't making fun of Yang Yuhuan, he was laughing at himself.

Yang Zhao, who is also a man, understood what Li Longji meant, but as a few women, it didn't sound like that at all.

Seeing that Yang Yuhuan was staring at Li Longji and didn't speak, Ah Shuang, who was walking closely with the royal horse, put her hands together and said, "Concubine, the slave maid has already said that the plate of steamed cakes this morning can no longer be eaten, and the sage said that you are fat again." ”

"I hear that!" Yang Yuhuan snorted lightly, "Ah Weng, the sage is bored and wants to ride a horse to Lishan. ”

Li Longji: "??? ”

After a while, Li Longji arrived outside the imperial palace and walked side by side with Xiao Jiangyuan.

Xiao Jiangyuan was a few steps slower, allowing himself to always lag behind Li Longji by half a horse. Li Longji noticed, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan had been silent, and Yang Yuhuan and Mrs. Yu Guo were smiling and laughing, ignoring themselves at all, Li Longji coughed lightly twice and said, "The general sent someone to invite Yang Shilang to come over and talk." ”

The "Yang Shilang" in Li Longji's mouth refers to Li Linfu's confidant and Yang Shenjin in the imperial history.

Yang Shenjin is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, his great-grandfather Yang and Emperor Yang of Sui were killed by Yu Wenhua and his grandfather Yang Zhengdao because he was a widow to survive, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he bowed down to the ministers, and served as Emperor Taizong's member of the Wai Cavalry Lang, Shangyi Fengyu, died in the first year of Yonghui. Yang Shenjin's father, Yang Chongli, was in power when Empress Zetian, he did Tianguan Langzhong, Zhongzong successively served as Luo, Liang, Hua, Fen, Huai Wuzhou Assassin History, in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, moved to Taifu Shaoqing, because of outstanding political achievements were promoted to Taifu Qingqing, plus silver Qingguanglu doctor, Fenghong Nong County Gong, 20 years of honesty and rigor, every year can save millions of dollars for Li Longji. In the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, Yang Chongli was more than 90 years old, and was awarded the title of Household Shangshu and died two years later.

Yang Shenjin's son inherited his father's business, and made great achievements in the country's finances, and now he is also the head of the household department and the imperial historian Zhongcheng, and also has the envoys of Gyeonggi Interview Envoy, Taifu Cashier and Zhudao Money Envoy, etc., he is the most important official of Li Longji in the entire six years of Tianbao, and even Li Linfu is faintly on the side.

There are military salaries outside, hundreds of officials inside, plus Li Longji's many rewards for his subordinates' harem and his own pleasure, even if Guangyuntan solves most of the financial pressure, Li Longji still feels that it is not enough. Since he entered politics, he felt that the treasury was not abundant, so he was extremely optimistic about the officials who could collect money, Yuwenrong was like this back then, and Yang Shenjin, Wang and Yang Zhao at this time were also the same.

In the past, when facing Li Longji, Yang Shenjin did not say that he was like a fish in water like Li Linfu, at least he was neither humble nor arrogant, but today he was a little apprehensive for some reason.

Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan turned a blind eye, and when they arrived in Lishan and Yang Shenjin retreated, Xiao Jiangyuan sent someone to investigate, but found that Yang Shenjin's family was extremely strict and did not reveal anything.

Li Longji was originally considerate of his subordinates, and wanted to see if Yang Shenjin had anything wrong and help him, but he didn't want Xiao Jiangyuan to find out what was going on. If it is just a trivial matter, it will never be revealed at all, and it is unusual for Yang Shenjin to hide it so impermeable, which can only show that this matter is extraordinary, and it is definitely not something that Yang Shenjin can control.

Li Longji has no doubt about employing people, and whoever he appoints will give him space to show his talents, but this does not mean that he will not take action. He has been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and he has enough confidence to control his subordinates, and he has never had any more worries or doubts than other courtiers because of Yang Shenjin's former royal bloodline, but he will not ignore any doubts because of this. Li Longji's trust has always been conditional, some courtiers are because of their style, and some are because of their talent, Yang Shenjin is different from his father, although he is talented, his style is not good, otherwise he would not be with Li Linfu.

Li Longji's subtle change in attitude towards Yang Shenjin was soon captured by Li Linfu.

Li Linfu had not completely given up the attack on the crown prince, but at this time he discovered the rise of his henchmen. For everything that may threaten his phase, he is quick to get rid of it, he and Yang Shenjin and others are gathered because of profit, and it is natural to disperse because of profit. Li Longji will support Yang Shenjin and Li Linfu to form a corner, and Li Linfu will follow suit, suggesting that Wang will deal with Yang Shenjin.

Although Yang Shenjin and Wang are cousins and nephews, they have a lot of festivals. Wang was originally a subordinate and junior, and it was okay if he was often called by his name by Yang Shenjin, but when he finally reached the same level as Yang Shenjin, Yang Shenjin was still like this, and in order to suppress him, he laughed at him as a concubine and his biological mother was cheap. He was already jealous of Yang Shenjin's rise and rise to prominence, but now that he has received Li Linfu's hints, there is no reason to be soft.

Wang also went to check what had happened to Yang Shenjin in recent days, but the result was the same as Xiao Jiangyuan's. He was unwilling, so he simply sent someone to stay outside Yang Shenjin's mansion at all times, only to find that a person named Shi Jingzhong often went in and out of Yang Shenjin's mansion, and brought out a beautiful maid on this day.

For some reason, this Shi Jingzhong turned around and was invited upstairs by Mrs. Qin Guo, and when Shi Jingzhong came out again, the maid beside him was gone.

Just when Wang was puzzled, he received an invitation from Yang Zhao.
