Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty recorded that 'on the twenty-seventh day of the twenty-fourth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the emperor heard that the king and his wife arrived, and they were in a hurry to find it. Didn't see it, and returned to the pear orchard depressed. ’

Li Yunze, who returned to his house, didn't know that Li Sanlang hadn't been able to see his daughter-in-law, so he was depressed and went to watch the Liyuan Opera all night.

The cross talk, music, magic, acrobatics, and acrobatics of later generations are collectively referred to as the children of the pear garden, and its source is the pear orchard built by Li Sanlang with countless national resources.

Li Yunze, who returned to the palace, first asked Yang Yuhuan to arrange a banquet and entertain guests in the evening.

And he himself entertained the guest in his study.

This guest can be said to be penniless now, but a famous figure in the history books.

This person is the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, a relative of Yang Guozhong.

Of course, his name is not Yang Guozhong now, his real name is Yang Zhao.

The reason why he later changed his name to Yang Guozhong was, of course, to take the meaning of loyalty to the country, and it was purely a face project with a smooth surface.

Originally, Yang Zhao was a county lieutenant in Fufeng County, and he was in charge of local security.

Li Yunze sleeps... After Qin Se chorded the jade slave, he immediately sent his attendants to Fufeng County to call Yang Zhao over.

If you want to do something, you have to have people.

And as a prince, it is very taboo to wantonly expand his strength.

Although the princes of the Tang Dynasty were not fed as pigs like the princes of the Ming Dynasty, they were not controlled in every way like the princes of the Song Dynasty.

The prince of the Song Dynasty was closely monitored because Zhao Guangyi himself became the emperor by cutting off his brothers, and the descendants were of course extremely wary of his brothers.

But the prince of the Tang Dynasty rebelled one after another, Li Er's younger brother rebelled, Li Er's son rebelled, and Li Sanlang's elders rebelled...

Because there are too many rebellious princes, they can't expand their strength openly.

And with his current identity, it is not easy to make others sincerely take refuge, but not only will no one say much about using his relatives, but he will also appreciate his attention to his in-laws.

Yang Yuhuan's background is not low, her father is the Duke of Qi Guo.

It's a pity that only one son died early, and although there are a lot of the remaining four daughters, they are not needed.

There is a lack of men in the entire Yang family, and only Yang Zhao can really be used.

"Minister, Fufeng County Lieutenant Yang Zhao, meet the king, the king Chitose ~~~"

Li Yunze, who was sitting in the chair, looked at Yang Zhao, who was tall and dignified, and nodded slowly, "Get up and speak." ”

"King Xie~~~"

Yang Zhao, who was excited, stood up and stood to the side with his hands folded and his head down.

Yang Guozhong's external conditions are very good, his appearance is handsome and dignified, after all, he is the nephew of the famous beautiful man Zhang Yizhi, and it is more likely that he is his illegitimate son.

Li Yunze looked at him and didn't care about his reputation in history.

What's wrong with the traitor, the traitor is also a minister, as long as you can use it.

"You're welcome." Li Yunze smiled and motioned for him to sit down, "You are Yuhuan's brother, that is the family." Thereafter, there is no need to be polite before this king, but to sit. ”

"King Xie~~~"

Yang Zhao, who had a smug look on his face, carefully sat down on a stool with half of his buttocks.

"Are you okay in Fufeng County..."

"King Xie cares, minister..."

After some unnutritious greetings and nonsense, Li Yunze entered the topic, "I asked you to come back this time, I want to ask you to help this king do things." ”

Yang Zhao hurriedly got up and saluted: "I am willing to serve the king!" ”

"Sit first, sit first."

Li Yunze, who was smiling, stretched out his hand and pressed down, "Sit down and talk." ”

When Yang Zhao sat down again, Li Yunze's face froze, and he said in a deep voice, "You are Yuhuan's brother, and you are your own person, and this king doesn't need to hide it from you." This king is in the East Palace, what you have to do now is to help this king enter the East Palace. When it is done, it will not be

Bad to you. ”

Yang Zhao was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to break his stomach and take out his heart and liver to show Li Yunze on the spot, so as to show his true feelings, "The minister is willing to go to the soup for the king!" ”

"Okay."

Li Yunze got up and walked to the bookshelf to take down a heavy wooden box.

Immediately put the wooden box in Yang Zhao's hand.

Yang Zhao, who took the wooden box, suddenly fell with his arm, it was too heavy.

At Li Yunze's signal, he opened the wooden box, and his eyes suddenly straightened.

Inside the wooden box are neatly arranged gold bars, full. The dazzling golden light made Yang Zhao's hands tremble.

"Here are eight hundred taels of gold." Li Yunze, who was standing with his back to his back, said surgingly: "You go to the Western Regions and select elite people from the border army to serve as relatives of the palace." No more, just 100 people. Remember, there is a Zhao Wu lieutenant under the command of Anxi Jiedu Yao, whose name is called

Li Siye. This person must be recruited to the palace no matter what. ”

"Li Siye." Yang Zhao closed the wooden box with trembling hands and nodded vigorously, "Please rest assured, the minister will definitely bring him back!" ”

"Do it well."

Li Yunze, who was smiling, raised his hand and patted Yang Zhao's shoulder: "This king will not treat you badly." By the way, you might as well change your name. ”

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you for the name of the king~~~"

"As a minister, you should be loyal to the country, why don't you change your name to Yang Guozhong?"

"King Xie! The minister will be Yang Guozhong from now on! ”

"Let's go, let's go eat first. Yuhuan was very happy to know that you were here, and personally cooked and arranged a banquet for you. ”

"Minister, Princess Xie~~~"

Yang Yuhuan is indeed very happy, because her family has few people and a lack of men, so she is naturally very good to this cousin.

At the banquet, he pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and after learning that Yang Zhao had changed his name to Yang Guozhong, he instructed him to do things for King Shou with his heart.

Yang Yuhuan has a gentle personality, but no matter how gentle she is, she is also a woman.

As long as she is a woman, there is no one who does not want her husband to get ahead.

At the level of the prince, there is only one goal to get ahead, and that is to enter the East Palace.

Li Yunze's purpose in entering the East Palace is not just to be the crown prince, his main goal is that the East Palace is the only place where military power can be legally owned.

After the Tang Dynasty, the six rates of the prince have completely become ornaments, but here in the Tang Dynasty, they can really raise soldiers.

At that time, Li Jiancheng's prince was six rated, and Li Er was almost forced to jump off the wall when he was in Xuanwu Gate.

Li Chengqian's crown prince was the main force when he rebelled.

Although there are many restrictions now, being able to have it is the biggest victory.

The most important thing about this army is not how many people there are, how strong they are. The real significance is that it can exist in the capital city reasonably and legally.

The millions of soldiers are all in the borderlands, and they are not as good as the thousands of elites in the capital.

After eating the banquet and seeing Yang Guozhong, who had the opportunity to soar to the sky, he got the deacon's defense, with this he can act everywhere in Datang, especially when he goes out of the Yumen Pass, it is absolutely impossible to have no defense.

After drinking a cup of tea and chatting for a while, the impatient Yang Guozhong said goodbye and left, and hurried to Anxi.

Li Longji has been fighting incessantly for many years, and although he has emptied the national treasury, he has also fought a vast and vast territory.

And the border army of the Tang Dynasty has also been tempered through years of war, and has become the most powerful army in the world.

The strength of the Tang Army's border army is so strong that it is not an exaggeration to say that it will beat the world.

Such a powerful border army was finally consumed in the Anshi Rebellion twenty years later, and there was no other emotion to speak of except regret.

At this time, Datang's internal contradictions were already very acute.

Although Wu Zetian successfully suppressed the gate valve family, these families that have been inherited for hundreds of years have a deep heritage, and they are still in the tenacious recovery.

And the new forces formed by a group of eunuchs and traitors reused by Li Sanlang are rampant all over the country, and they are also tearing apart the entire Tang Dynasty.

Li Yunze must speed up his pace to avoid Datang from embarking on the road of no return.

After Yang Guozhong left, Li Yunze sent an attendant to Li Linfu to send a post.

Li Linfu is a member of the Tang Dynasty, and his ancestor is Li Yuan's cousin, Li Shuliang, who was crowned the king of Changping County.

Last year, Li Linfu was awarded the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the three products of the same Chinese book.

Li Linfu is a powerful minister, and he is also a treacherous and cunning minister.

Li Yunze went to visit him, according to the system, it should not be, after all, the prince and the prime minister will cause criticism.

It's just that Li Yunze didn't care about this, agreed on a date, and simply visited after a few days.

The only reason why he came to visit Li Linfu was that this person went up with the help of Concubine Wu Hui and belonged to Concubine Wu Hui's faction.

And the teacher of the crown prince Li Ying is Zhang Jiuling, the prime minister of the dynasty, for Li Linfu, who wants to continue to climb up and grasp the power, Zhang Jiuling is the biggest stumbling block in front of him.

Zhang Jiuling and the crown prince Li Ying support each other, and they can't deal with either one alone, so they can only start together.

In this way, Li Linfu and Concubine Wu Hui, who were eager to promote Li Xuan's ascendancy, naturally came together to work together.

"Minister, Li Linfu, meet the king, the king Chitose~~~"

"Uncle Zongzong doesn't need to be polite." Li Yunze stepped forward quickly, and helped Li Linfu, who was making a slight gesture, "The great sect is the prime minister of the country, and there is no need to be like this." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister was extremely powerful, and all officials had to salute when they saw the prime minister, and the prime minister did not have to return the salute.

This is true even at the level of the Prince.

Although the current prime minister is actually Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu also calmly accepted Li Yunze's statement.

Li Linfu prepared a banquet and summoned a few sons at home to sit with him.

Saying some homely words at the banquet and greeting each other with some unnutritious words can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.

The real highlight is the interview in the study after the banquet.

When he came to the study and took a sip of tea, Li Yunze, who had been doing homely cooking before, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and his expression was immediately correct.

"Duke Li, this king wants to enter the East Palace, and I hope that Duke Li will help me."

"Oh."

Li Linfu bowed his head unhurriedly and tasted tea, "This is a family matter of the Son of Heaven, how can I and other outsiders say more." ”

"It's a family affair and a state affair."

Li Yunze frowned slightly dissatisfied, "Zhang Jiuling is arrogant and arrogant, and he is the prime minister in vain." It is still the loyal Li Gong who is most suitable to be the prime minister. ”

Li Linfu smiled, "The prince is benevolent, how can he be changed lightly." ”

"Zhang Jiuling is in power, and he has to make his own decisions on everything. Where will the Son of Heaven be placed? ”

"The prince looks high, and the officials respect the world and look up."

"Zhang Jiuling..."

"Prince...."

“......”

After a seemingly boundless temptation, Li Yunze simply got up and handed it over, "Gong Li, take your leave." ”

Li Linfu, who was smiling, said with a smile: "The king walks slowly, and the old man will not be far away." ”

When Li Yunze left, Li Linfu slowly restrained his smile this time, "It's okay." ”

Li Yunze, who left Li Linfu's mansion, took a deep breath and turned over on his horse, raised his hand and touched his nose.

"It's finished."
