Yang Zhao is full of expectations and mixed with complex grievances, there are many specialties in Shuzhong, but he is still unable to compete with the impact of spices on women, and he is very unwilling to face a predestined ending. But now his expectations have risen again, and the emperor's affection for his cousin is extraordinary, which even a fool can see, as long as he calmly introduces the gifts, the official position should be at his fingertips.

"Niangniang, please see, this is the Shu embroidered white bird Chaofeng picture, it took thirty embroidery girls to complete the embroidery for two years, Qiu Zhangzhong Cheng Tuochen sent to Chang'an, it is the filial piety of the people of Shu to the concubine Niangniang."

Yang Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "They really have a heart, this picture of a hundred birds towards the phoenix can be installed on the screen and placed in the Flying Frost Hall in the Hot Spring Palace." ”

Yang Zhao then introduced: "This is the most representative specialty of Shu, Shu brocade, warp and weft color jacquard, a total of 12 colors, presented to Niangniang. This is a bamboo leaf green tea cake, and there is a fine-grained paper ...... in Shu"

These things really don't seem to be novel enough, every year there are assassins in the states of Shuzhong only for the palace, Yang Guifei has seen a lot, and of course her vision is high. It was only the rare species brought by Li Siye that interested her.

"Lingnan is rich in a fruit called lychee, which cannot be transplanted to the north, and the taste is sweet. It's just that when this lychee is picked from the tree, it will soon deteriorate and lose its taste. Therefore, the minister came to Chang'an and failed to bring this lychee, so that you could not taste the taste of childhood. ”

After hearing this, Yang Yuhuan's eyes gradually turned red, as if he wanted to cry. She may have thought of her childhood life and her parents.

Li Longji grabbed the beauty's hand distressedly, lowered his head and said, "Concubine Ai likes to eat lychees, I can naturally find a way to let you eat them, so why bother crying." The tomb of your parents in Shuzhong, I also sent people to guard it, and there are people to sweep it every year. If there is a chance in the future, I will personally go to Shuzhong to worship his two old people. ”

A smile squeezed out of the corners of Yang Yuhuan's mouth, although his parents were no longer there, the arrival of his distant cousin in Shuzhong could also make him feel a little cordial. After all, Yang Zhao is a member of their Yang family, she lived in Shu for a period of time when she was a child, although her memory is vague, but she still has a slight impression of this brother, since she is a member of our Yang family, she has to take care of it.

This kind of thing doesn't even need Yang Yuhuan to say to the emperor in person, she only needs a look, Li Longji has already understood, raised his head and raised his eyebrows and said: "Yang Zhao, I have made you a Jinwu soldier Cao to join the army, so that you can enter the palace to worship." ”

Yang Zhao was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for the saint's gift!" ”

He didn't know how many grades this Jinwu soldier Cao had joined the army, but this was not important, the important thing was to be able to enter the palace. In the future, I will be close to the Son of Heaven, and there will be more opportunities to perform, and I will not worry about not being able to rise to the official position.

Yang Yuhuan didn't know if she was sleepy because of the ups and downs of her emotions, or if she was affected by sandalwood frankincense to calm her mind and seemed a little drowsy.

Everyone saw this sign, and hurriedly crossed their hands and retired: "The ministers thank the saint and the concubine, and the ministers retire." ”

The emperor lay Yang Yuhuan, who had his eyes slightly closed, on his lap to rest, and gently raised his hand to signal them to leave quickly, and several people hurriedly retreated.

On the way out of the palace, Li Siye thought a lot, according to what happened just now, he felt that the emperor's ability to deal with things was still there, and he had the essence of his king's balancing technique. Although the rewards for the four of them are different, they basically do not have much disparity, and they will not make the four of them feel partial or dissatisfied.

Of course, Li Siye was a little dissatisfied, and the reason for this was that the emperor didn't know what he really wanted, and he was afraid that he wouldn't give it if he knew. Titles and fiefdoms are unattainable to others, but he is not very interested in this kind of thing, and there is little point in being a wealthy aristocratic landlord, and he will not fight specifically for the appendages of these powers.

Although he was a little dissatisfied, he could understand that he was not willing to make subversive changes to the upper echelons of Anxi if he did not easily open the threshold of the third-rank officials.

As for An Sishun and An Qingxu, they brought gifts from their superiors and fathers, so it was natural for them to come and offer them. The emperor's reward for them is mostly based on An Lushan and Fumeng Lingcha's face, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding, and the emperor naturally knows that these people sent represent the henchmen of the Jiedu envoy.

In fact, Yang Zhao, who should laugh the most, was just a county lieutenant before coming to Chang'an, and was appreciated and exploited by Xian Yu Zhongtong and Qiu Zhang Jianqiong, so he was sent to Chang'an as a magistrate. The emperor appointed him to join the army as Jinwu Bing Cao, although this is only a petty official of the eighth grade, but the only unique advantage is that he can enter the palace. You must know that for the Son of Heaven, the close ministers are far better than any feudal officials, and the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune is not a casual twist.

The four of them stood in front of the Mingyi Gate of Xingqing Palace again, and the eunuch who sent them out retreated into the doorway.

Although there is such a fate as joint dedication, the relationship between the four has not improved substantially. An Sishun was still very indifferent to his nephew, and only arched his hand to Li Siye and said, "Li Lang, we will be at the orchid restaurant in Chang'an West City another day, and I will have a few drinks." ”

After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back, and An Qingxu shyly saluted his back: "Uncle go slowly." ”

"Ahem, yes."

An Qingxu felt that he would not have any intersection with the two people in front of him, so he just bowed his hand to the two of them in a vague manner, and then turned to leave.

Yang Zhao still has a trace of mustard for Li Siye, so there is no need for etiquette, and he is ready to turn around directly.

Li Siye's voice suddenly sounded behind him. "Yang joins the army, Heiye wants to invite you to have a few drinks, do you dare to go to enjoy the light?"

He raised his hand and blew his nose, recalling the situation when he was in Shuzhong, when he was eating and drinking at a friend's house, he was thick-skinned at that time, and now he is not afraid of anything.

"What don't you dare, I heard that Brother Li has been in Chang'an for a long time, and I ask you to introduce a good wine shop."

"Naturally, we went to the Qinglian Wine Shop in Changle Fang, and none of the fine wines in Chang'an City could overshadow their family."

He has only been to Qinglian Wine Shop twice, and each time he has passed by in a hurry. This liquor shop, which is hidden in Changle Fang with a very small audience, has recently been able to become famous in Chang'an City, which is inseparable from the promotion and promotion of Li Bai, the image spokesperson. It's just that Li Bai has been given gold by the emperor and released, and there is no more Tang Dynasty swan song in Chang'an City.

The two sat in the screen in the corner of the wine shop, and the shopkeeper brought up the mutton and wine bottles, retreated behind the wine counter, and wiped the dust with a duster.

Li Siye lifted the wine bottle and poured wine for Yang Zhao, although he still had a stinky face before he entered the door, but now it is much more relaxed.

This person's desire is so low-end, a meal of wine and meat can change his mood.

The wine made a beautiful sound and knocked into the wine cup, Li Siye put down the wine bottle, picked up the wine cup and asked, "Is Yang Senjun still angry that I overshadowed you by giving gifts in the palace just now?" ”

Yang Zhao just picked up the cup and glanced at Li Siye in surprise, he actually said it directly? How did he see it?

Li Siye said nonsense, your mood has been written on your face, think I don't know?

"Heh, where is it, these gifts are not mine, they are just doing things for Qiu Zhangzhongcheng, even if they are overshadowed, it is only Qiu Zhangzhongcheng's business, what do I have to do with it?"

"I think so." Li Siye lifted the wine bottle and poured it for him again: "I'm just a foreign minister, even if the gift is good, it's still a foreign minister." How can it be worthy of the blood and family relationship between Yang Senjun and Guifei Niangniang, the blood in Hongnong Yang's veins is the same, how can she, as a member of the Yang family, not care about her son and relatives. ”

"Son?" Yang Zhao subconsciously frowned, and glared at Li Siye's gaze: "Are you stupid to drink yourself after drinking two taels of wine, and actually say such a big rebellious thing!" Where did my concubine Niangniang's son come from? ”

Li Siye lowered his eyes and groaned, it seems that Yang Zhao, who has just entered Chang'an, is still a raw melon egg, and he has no specific understanding of some things.

He feigned surprise and asked, "You don't even know?" The adopted son of the concubine is An Lushan, who is now the envoy of the two towns of Fanyang and Pinglu, and it was his son An Qingxu who entered the palace just now to give gifts. ”

Yang Zhao raised his head and stared at his brows and thought, this may be a joke, or a prank, but it also indicates Yang Guifei's love for An Lushan. Of course, this kind of love can never be that, no matter how bad her aesthetic is, she will not fall in love with a three-hundred-pound person of the opposite sex, let alone take the risk of offending the saint. Maybe this An Lushan has some funny or funny ghosts, who can often poke at the laughter of his cousin and concubine.

A fat man who likes to be funny and has a humorous body can indeed make a woman make such jokes, and can also make her fake and raise her as a son. You must know that Yang Yuhuan is only twenty-eight years old at this time, and An Lushan is almost forty years old, and the age gap between mother and son is so rebellious, which has a more comedic effect.

Treating life as a comedy is really a kind of satirical artistic effect.

This still made Yang Zhao feel uncomfortable, there was a kind of fact that his promotion resources were occupied by others, how could a Sogdian be able to enjoy the dividends brought by Yang Guifei, and why should he be noble with their Yang family?
