In the study room of Yao Duhu, Gao Xianzhi put down the tea bowl, looked puzzled and said with a little regret: "I know the strength of the bandits in the desert, they are good at swordsmanship, and they are very strong in fighting alone. At present, Anxi is the time to employ people, why not protect such talents? Instead, they will leave him idle. ”

Lai Yao clasped his knees with his hands and smiled heartily: "Gao Xianzhi, you only care about the matter of the soldiers, but you know that I, the protector of Anxi, have to take into account the feelings of all parties and gain insight into the situation between the DPRK and China." Anyone who is exempted from a person needs to take into account the attitude of those in the Chang'an Dynasty. ”

Gao Xianzhi was a little incredulous: "Anxi is in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, and the capital protects the military and political affairs of Anxi, but with a small brigade rate, is it possible to offend the prime minister of the DPRK and the Central People?" ”

That sounds a bit too.

Lai Yao rubbed his brows and said: "You don't believe it, but that's it, this Li Siye, who once served as the crown prince in the East Palace, led a thousand cattle to prepare himself, and was personally appointed by the saint." It's just that I didn't expect that this person stayed in the East Palace, and soon became the confidant of the crown prince Li Ying, and he could make the saint jealous of him, and in the name of the loyal king Li Yu, he sent him to me, the Anxi Protectorate. ”

"Now the direction of the wind in the DPRK is unknown, the position of the prince Li Yingdonggong is in jeopardy, and the backyard of Chang'an sent a message that Zhang Jiuling's Zhongshu order has been deposed, and he has been reappointed as the right man of Shangshu, and it is the former Shangshu Shangshu who sits on the Zhongshu Order, and Li Linfu, who is the third product under the Zhongshu Sect. Li Xianggong is not only favored by the saint, but also has a close relationship with Concubine Wu Hui, and wholeheartedly helps Concubine Wu Hui's son Shouwang inherit the crown prince. ”

Gao Xianzhi still didn't understand: "This Li Siye has already left the East Palace, and now he is acting as a leader from the official status of the seventh grade, what kind of big deal is this?" Can it still provoke the displeasure of the DPRK and China? ”

Lai Yao laughed helplessly and said, "You haven't been in the court, and you don't know the meticulous minds of these people. Besides, when I entered the court this time, His Majesty had revealed that he wanted Li Linfu to lead the protection of the capital of Anxi, so Li Xianggong will soon become our top boss, and in the future, all the official appointment arrangements in Anxi will be reported to Li Xianggong in the future, so in the matter of Li Siye, we would rather be cautious than commit Li Xianggong's taboo. ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled and asked in a tone like raising a bar: "If the crown prince's position in the East Palace is retained, you have accidentally offended the prince's close ministers." ”

Lai Yao looked up and smiled proudly: "Who said that I offended him, although Bendu Hu did not arrange for him to be really short, but the monthly money and rice were given according to the standard of the school captain, as soon as he came, he arranged a small house for him, which was also given according to the standard of the school captain, I believe that this Li Siye will understand my mind and will not think of it that makes no sense." ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled heartily and praised: "Come to Duhu, you treat people and things, but you are really leaky." ”

Lai Yao immediately smiled and said: "This is nothing leaky, compared to some people, it is far worse." ”

Although Gao Xianzhi didn't know who he was talking about, he couldn't help but ask, as a subordinate, he could show appropriate curiosity, but he couldn't be too curious.

Lu Qian, who was squatting under the back wall of the mansion, stood up quietly, and after leaving with his waist bent, he walked into the courtyard and stopped straightening up again, as if nothing had happened.

……

Under the guidance of a subordinate of Hu Cao's army, Li Siye led his horses and camels, and went to a small courtyard in Qiuzi City with Tian Zhen Tengmu.

Qiuzi City is almost entirely filled with Western-style residences, with flat-roofed roofs and arched plaster doors, and narrow-sleeved bearded people abound on the streets. Mo said that in the streets, even in the guards of the Metropolitan Protectorate, there are many Tang troops with deep eyes and blue eyes and high noses, although the Han people account for a large proportion, but it also seems to be a bit of a multinational army.

The house where he lived was a Western-style building, the main building was made of stone and white mud, the top of the house was arched, the bottom was covered with a square lattice carpet, and a fire pit was built against the wall, and there was a flue leading to the roof. The second floor is usually the residence of the female dependents, and there is a wooden ladder on the outer wall leading to the upper floor.

After sending away Hu Cao Zhubo, Li Siye, Fuji Mu and Tian Zhen sat cross-legged on the carpet of the room. He coughed, and the two of them came to wait for him to speak.

"I'm afraid it won't be able to do what is really lacking."

"Why?" Tian Zhen was a little breathless and asked, "When you left Chang'an, didn't Lai Yao promise you to be good?" As soon as he entered Anxi, he let you serve as the real power, how could he change his hexagram? ”

"It's not clear for a while, but it won't take too long, maybe months."

Tian Zhen was suddenly a little unhappy: "I, Tian Zhen, came to the Western Regions with you just to make meritorious contributions and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, what happened when I was suddenly left idle?" ”

Fujimaki didn't care, he originally joined the Tang Army with the attitude of learning technology, and it didn't matter how many days sooner or later.

Li Siye was not in a very good mood, and when he heard this, he said expressionlessly: "Anxi is already here, although I am not used for the time being, it does not mean that I don't need the two of you, I will go to him again tomorrow, and let him arrange the two of you, so as not to delay the future with me." ”

"Hey? What do you mean by that? Is Lao Tzu that kind of person! I said that I would come to the Western Regions with you, do you think I am a selfish villain? ”

Li Siye spread his hands and said, "Don't you want the opportunity to make a contribution?" I'm afraid that being with me will delay your future, I'll find you a way, why aren't you happy. ”

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you!"

Tian Zhen walked out of the door angrily, Fuji Mu called him sighing, sat down beside Li Siye helplessly, and politely persuaded: "Brother Tian Zhen's temper is a little hotter, but his personality is like this, I hope you don't blame him." On my side, please rest assured, I believe in you, please rest assured. ”

Li Siye turned his head and glanced at him indifferently, and said, "You also get out." ”

"You, you...... Okay," Fujimaki also stood up, turned and walked out the door.

……

Lu Qian eavesdropped on the wall of Duhu's study for a long time, and learned that Li Siye had not been appointed by Lai Yao, so his heart finally let go of it, but he was still like a man. After thinking about it, he decided to go to his cousin Xiao Ting and ask him for some advice.

His cousin is no one else, but Xiao Ting, who served as a secretary and participated in the military under the command of Anxi Duhu Laiyao, and his official position is on the seventh grade, which is regarded as a civilian position around Yaoduhu, and he can be successfully promoted to the leader of the capital guard, which is also stained with the light of this cousin.

Lu Qian explained the matter to Deputy Rate, and rode towards Xiao Ting's mansion in the city.

He came to the door of the Xiao Mansion, turned his head to see that there was no one on the left and right, and knocked on the door.

The old man pushed open the door and saw that it was Lu Qian, so he let him in.

"Cousin Xiao Ting's is not in the house today?"

"He's in the study, you can go yourself."

Lu Qian nodded, and walked into the flat-roofed house in the Western Regions, but the room was decorated in the Central Plains style, and the paper window separated the reception room from the study.

He tapped lightly on the partition door, and a deep voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Lu Qian secretly wanted to laugh, his cousin liked to imitate the tone and style of Lai Yao Duhu, because this style was the most powerful and the most personal, it seemed that with this kind of style, his official career would be smoother.
