After a while, Li Siye put one hand on Li Bai's armpit, put his right arm on his shoulder, and helped him away.

"Li Taibai, where do you live? Drink the Eight Immortals, He Zhizhang, Jiao Sui, why don't they care about you? ”

Li Bai raised his head in a daze, raised his long sleeves and pointed forward: "Changle Fang, Qinglian Wine Shop......"

"Still drinking?"

Li Taibai shook his head: "Qinglian Liquor Shop...... room, sleep, sleep. ”

He helped Li Bai to Changle Fang, anyway, it was not too far, Danfeng Gate to the west, after entering the Fang Gate, he found someone to inquire, only to know that this Qinglian wine shop is very well-known in Changle Fang, but the location is not very easy to find, and after turning three lanes in a row, I saw the white wine flag hanging under the eaves, which is an ordinary door.

Sure enough, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and it can be known to everyone in such a remote place, how can the wine be bad. When you leave, be sure to sell a jar.

He helped Li Bai to the door of the wine shop and asked him to sit down on the stone steps under the eaves, but Taibai lay down softly.

A small guy in the store greeted him and said, "Guest, ...... you are" He looked down, and his voice suddenly became a little louder: "Isn't this Li Taibai?" I'm drunk again. ”

He cooperated with the little guy to help Li Bai up, and asked, "Li Taibai lives with you?" ”

"Hey, when Li Taibai first came to Chang'an, he lived in our Qinglian Wine Shop, and even the name of our Wine Store used the name of Taibai. This time he came to Chang'an again, and he stayed here for a few nights. ”

The owner of the wine store also hurriedly greeted him, replaced Li Siye, and helped him into the backyard.

He looked left and right at the layout of the wine shop, there were only five or six tables, the ground was covered with sheep felt, and there was a wine cabinet between the walls, and there were wine jars in the cabinets.

He stood in front of the wine bowl and said to the shopkeeper who had returned to Taili, "Sell me a bucket of your best wine here." ”

"We Qinglian Restaurant only have one kind of skimming wine, besides, you are still wearing court clothes, you must have returned from the banquet of the saints of the Great Dynasty Society, we have a lot of stamina in this wine, you can't drink it anymore."

"Hey, I don't drink it, I just listen to the smell of your wine, and I will take it back to my brothers."

"The official is really affectionate."

A bucket of wine sold two jars, wrapped the mouth of the altar with hemp rope, and Li Siye walked slowly outside Changle Fang in his hand.

The sunset has fallen, the clouds are swirling and burned by the fire of the red sun, Chang'an is slowly sinking into the night, the rumbling drums are rising from the ground, and the night light is on.

……

On the second day after the Great Dynasty Meeting, everyone in Anxi began to settle in Chang'an, and returning to Moxi was already on the agenda. Li Siye also decided to go to the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and promised Li Fuguo to go to thank the prince, so he naturally had to keep his promise. Of course, this is not only about keeping promises, but also about long-term plans for the future.

The location of the Taiji Palace is the depression of Chang'an, which makes it hot in summer, and even the East Palace is not suitable for long-term residence. After King Chung Lee Hyung became the crown prince, he converted the original mansion of the Sixteen Princes' Mansions into a separate palace. He lived here most of the time, taking care of the young prince and acting as a role model for his brothers.

Li Longji is also happy to see it, and the prince stays in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, which makes him feel more at ease than staying in the East Palace.

When he entered the gate of the palace, he turned over and dismounted, and walked leisurely with the reins of the horse, and the servants and generals of the palaces walked past him, and he was not surprised by this four-rank martial artist wearing a missing robe.

The Yuanzhong Palace, in the northernmost part of the Wangzhai District, faces the wall of the city with its back and the main gate faces south. He stopped in front of the gate of the palace, tied the black fat to the stone nest of the bolted horse on the wall, came to the side door on the other side of the side door, held the copper ring and knocked it three times.

A soldier in silk armor dragged the door open, saw that it was a military attaché, and hurriedly straightened his head and asked: "Your Excellency has come to the prince to leave the palace, can you have a business trip?" ”

The attitude was surprisingly good, which surprised him, Li Siye arched his hand and said: "I am not here for business, a few days ago the palace Jingzhong's father-in-law invited me to come to the palace, and the prince Yu has the grace of recommendation, so he should have come to pay respects a long time ago." ”

"That's the case, please wait outside, I'll go in and report."

Li Siye arched his hand again: "Please." ”

The military attache closed the side door, and Li Siye waited at the door with his hands behind his back, and after a while, three or four young men came out of the side door, wearing purple robes and looking easy-going and leisurely, as if they often came to visit the door. Li Siye knew that these people were noble, either princes or grandsons, so he had to stand on one side and bow his hands.

These princes didn't pay much attention to Li Siye, there were many military attaches who served in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, and it was not surprising that they were common, but they thought they were running errands to deliver messages.

Li Jingzhong sent these princes out of dozens of steps before turning back, and said to Li Siye with a smile: "I'm still thinking about this today, General Li is really here, please." ”

"Father-in-law Jingzhong, please."

Li Jingzhong led him forward, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still so cautious, you know, but now that he has entered the East Palace, he is already standing on the cusp of the storm, blindly low-key to avoid friendship and refuge from all sides, but it does not conform to today's situation and identity, General Yunlu has grown up with him since childhood, and he is like a brother, but since General Wang became the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, His Royal Highness has restricted his contacts with him, and he is only allowed to come to the Sixteen Prince's Mansion once in two years. ”

Li Siye was still confused, what did Li Fuguo mean by telling him, did he want him to persuade the prince? As a person around them, they can't be convinced, how can he, an outsider, be convinced?

This Li Heng is indeed two extremes from Li Ying, who was given death in the past, the one is too public, and the other is too low-key.

"I could try to advise His Highness, but you know, we martial artists are stupid, so it's best not to get your hopes up."

"We naturally know this, we, the people around the prince, are entangled with him, but we are not very easy to advise, so we can only ask for help from the general."

This palace has not changed much from the last time he came, there are shadow walls, inverted pavilions, front halls and side halls, through four or five gates and a corridor, directly to the backyard. There is a waterhole in the backyard, a corner of the pavilion near the water surface, the prince is wearing a flat scarf, wearing a bright yellow robe, and the chest is a blooming group of flowers, he is stepping on the pavilion railing with one foot, turning his head to see Li Siye, and his expression shows surprise.

He stepped forward and bowed his hands, "The last general, Li Siye, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Li Siye, why did you come here suddenly?" He lowered his voice nervously and said, "Has anyone seen you coming to me?" ”

Li Siye was also a little confused, Li Heng didn't know about his feelings, he turned his head and glanced at Li Jingzhong, Li Jingzhong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Li Siye came to thank His Highness for recommending him to go to the west of the city in the past." This time, I finally came back to Chang'an, so I came to visit the palace. ”

Li Heng came to him, stretched out his hand to support his arms, and said hesitantly: "Actually, I'm very happy that you can come, but ......"

"Jingzhong, are you making trouble? Deliberately bringing General Li here? It has only been more than three years since he entered the East Palace, and if he is seen by outsiders, wouldn't he have to make a friend of the border general? ”

It's still so cautious.

Li Jingzhong hurriedly bowed to the ground, crossed his hands and said: "Your Highness, General Li was recommended by you to go to the west of the city, everyone knows this, he came to pay his respects and thank you, no matter who can't find any fault." When Jingzhong invited him, he didn't think too much, in case even if someone was held accountable, the slave and maid were willing to bear it, General Li Siye was Jingzhong's old friend, why couldn't they communicate with each other? ”

"You! You, a eunuch in the prince's mansion, got acquainted with a military attache from the west of the city, how can you afford it? ”

Li Siye felt that he should say something, otherwise his motives would be impure. He bowed down and whispered: "Your Highness, before Li Siye entered Chang'an this time, he only led three jumping regiments and three battle front regiments, and he was not qualified to be called a border general. Even after the promotion of the Great Court Meeting this time, I will be awarded the rank of Captain of the Eighth Turn, and I will be added to the rank of General Zhongwu. There are also town guards and deputy guards in the towns above their heads, deputy capital guards, soldiers and horses in the four towns, and envoys in Anxi, which are not considered to be any powerful border generals. ”

Li Heng thought about it, as if he had overreacted, but he still said persistently: "I'm afraid that some people will be suspicious, and we should be more cautious." However, since you have come here, stay a little longer, be quiet, and immediately order someone to come and make tea, and have a long talk with General Li. ”
