Chapter 482: Luoyang, the Eastern Capital

The willow tops on the moon, people are about to be in the new house.

At the end of a heart-to-heart exchange, Li Yunze leaned on the head of the bed and entered the realm of a saint.

His mind was full of his family and country, and how to stop the Anshi Rebellion that broke the backbone of the Tang Dynasty.

It wasn't until a low sobbing sound came from around him that he came to his senses.

"The momentum hasn't passed yet?"

Li Yunze asked a little puzzled: "Your neural response arc is so long?" ”

Yang Yuhuan turned his back angrily and secretly touched his tears.

"What's wrong?" Li Yunze leaned over and controlled the grapes, "What can't you tell me?" ”

"Lang Jun is going to the Eastern Capital." Yang Yuhuan shook it and didn't break free, "It's been a few months, and the concubine has been missing it very much in her body and mind. ”

"What should I do?"

Hearing these retorts, Li Yunze immediately smiled, "Don't be angry, I'll take you with me." ”

"Huh?"

Yang Yuhuan's sobbing suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at him, "What Lang Jun said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true." Li Yunze smiled and said, "What's there to lie to you." ”

"But Lang Jun's going to the Eastern Capital is on official business..."

"What's wrong with official business?" Li Yunze rubbed his fingers, "I'm just going to watch, it's the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who really does things." Let's go together, it's like a newlywed outing. ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yuhuan, whose eyes were still slightly reddened, burst into tears and smiled, and his beautiful eyes were full of joy.

There is no train these days, and it is not easy to go out of a long country, and it is even rarer to be able to take a daughter-in-law to go out together.

On the morning of the trip, more than 20 palace guards left the palace on horseback and escorted several carriages and went straight to the city gate.

In the afternoon, the palace came to the door, saying that Concubine Yang Shu (Yang Zhenyi) invited Princess Shou into the palace for a banquet and party.

didn't think about it, Princess Shou followed the king to the Eastern Capital.

Xiao Huangmen was obviously dumbfounded, he didn't expect this to be the case at all, standing there in circles and not knowing what to do.

The chamberlain of King Shou's Mansion was puzzled, "The princess is not here, just go back and return directly, will the lady still blame you?" ”

The little yellow door rolled his eyes and didn't bother to explain, and in the end he could only stomp his feet with hatred, "How can I go to the Eastern Capital with me." ”

In desperation, he could only leave in a hurry.

The waiter left behind in the palace rolled his eyes, "Fool." ”

In the Daming Palace, Li Sanlang, who received the news, was cultivating, and when he reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he began to fantasize about immortality.

"Eighteen Lang, it's still too idle, and there is still leisure to travel with the princess, so I have to add some burdens to him." Li Sanlang waved his hand, "Go and tell Yang Shufei that I won't go over at night." ”

From Chang'an City to Luoyang, the eastern capital, it takes about half a month to travel by carriage without hurrying.

Along the way, there are Li Baiyin's poems during the day, and Yang Yuhuan greets him at night, which is not so boring.

When they arrived in the Eastern Capital, the convoy went directly to Princess Xianyi's house.

"Eighteen Lang is here? Come in. ”

Princess Xianyi and Yang Huan, the princess of the horses, warmly entertained Li Yunze and his wife.

Shouwang Li Xuan and Princess Xianyi are siblings, and there is no doubt that they are their own people.

Yang Xun, the captain of the horse, is naturally on this side.

The relationship between people in this era is like this, and the close relationship is naturally their own people, even if they can't run away when they are raiding their families and destroying their clans.

"This time, I'm bothered."

Li Yunze said a few polite words, and then introduced Li Bai to Yang Wei and his wife: "This is Li Taibai, the national order of King Shou's Mansion." ”

The pro-kingdom order seems inconspicuous in the Tang Dynasty, but if it is changed to the early Han Dynasty, it is the existence of the prime minister in the princely feudal country.

Yang Wei and his wife had also heard of Li Bai's reputation, and immediately said a few words of greeting, which made Li Bai, who used to pull relationships everywhere but always couldn't find a way, very emotional.

When I wandered back outside the door, I only felt that the courtyard wall was so strict that I could not peep. Now that I'm in the house, I'm greeted with a smile everywhere I go. ’

I didn't drink today, so Li Bai's thoughts didn't speak.

If he said it, Li Yunze would tell him, 'It's for my face to give you a smile, not that you really enter the house to the point where everyone has to greet you with a smile.' ’

Li Yunze and his entourage stayed in Princess Xianyi's mansion, and took Yang Yuhuan around all day long.

As for Li Bai, he wanted to do things, but the one who was really responsible for doing things in this imperial examination was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he was a royal decree at most to inquire about some news in the past, and people didn't care about him for more things.

After a few times, Li Bai's temper also came up, and he simply picked a son to call friends to buy drunk everywhere.

Yang Wei complained a lot about this, but Li Yunze didn't care.

Candidates from all over the country gradually gathered in Luoyang City, making this already prosperous and lively eastern capital more and more lively.

Among many well-known restaurants, there are famous people feasting and drinking all day long, which has become a beautiful scenery in the eastern capital.

The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty was different from that of the Song and Ming dynasties, in addition to being almost monopolized, the most important point was that the number of admissions was extremely small.

How little?

When there are few subjects, only three or five people will be admitted.

That's right, when there are few, it is three or five people.

And most of these three or five people are occupied by the gate lords and the sons of the nobles, how difficult it is for ordinary people to get ahead, even if they are as talented as Du Fu and others, they have been defeated one after another.

Therefore, Datang's mainstream approach at this time is to take the recommendation route.

On this day, Princess Xianyi took Yang Yuhuan to the handkerchief banquet, and Li Yunze had nothing to do with Yang Xun to go out of the house to hang out.

"Eighteen Lang." Yang Wei, who was walking aimlessly on the street, lowered his voice and asked, "You just travel all day long, and you haven't thought about big things?" ”

After he married Princess Xianyi, his identity was destined to be Li Xuan's gang.

As a responsible person, Yang Wei is very dissatisfied with Li Yunze's current unscrupulous performance, and now he is vaguely expressing it.

Yang Hui is indeed a very responsible person, after Li Xuan lost power in history, Yang Hui turned to Li Zhen, the king of Heiqi, instigated him to rebel, and then committed suicide with him.

Not to mention anything else, this sense of responsibility alone is much stronger than Li Bai, who fished for three days and dried nets for two days.

Li Yunze responded with a smile, "Since it is a big thing, there is no need to charge forward in person." If I had to do everything myself, it would not have been possible. ”

Yang Wei frowned and wondered, not understanding what Li Yunze meant.

If you don't do such a big thing as competing for the throne of the prince, who else can you expect to do it?

Seeing his incomprehension and curiosity, Li Yunze, who was moving forward with his back hand, whispered a few words.

"There are people in the palace who speak out, and we don't need to participate, and we can't participate."

"The prince's biggest backer is not His Majesty, but the Prime Minister, and this is the key. Naturally, our clan can't make a move against the prime minister, so we need to help the prime minister erect a formidable opponent. ”

"After that, it's a matter of course."

Yang Wei thought about it carefully, "Who is the prime minister's opponent?" ”

Li Yunze smiled but did not speak, and simply walked forward.

If you wait until this time to think of arranging an opponent for the prime minister, then don't think about it in three or five years.

When you come to Tianjin Qiaonan, what you see is the most prestigious and largest Qixian Tower in Luoyang City.

The fame here is great, because the owner is good at winemaking and tops Luoyang, so there are bustling drinkers every day, and there are countless vassal elegance of literati and ink writers who write poems for this inscription.

Li Yunze gestured, "How about having lunch here today?" ”

Yang Wei laughed, "That's very good." ”

The two walked into the lively Qixian Tower, and the men of the self-informed horse captain hurriedly stepped forward to greet and salute.

It was just a moment's work, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant also ran over in a hurry.

Captain Ma Du is a standard royal relative, and Yang Huan himself is also from the royal family, he is the son of a princess.

No matter how famous the Qixian Building is, he doesn't dare to offend.

The shopkeeper was very discerning, but when he looked closely, he found that the captain of the horse was actually standing behind Li Yunze and holding the courtesy, and the identity of this young man was not trivial.

Yang Wei laughed, "Don't look at it, this is King Shou, just arrange a room for us." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly saluted, "Meet the king." ”

When the guests saw and listened to this scene, they all looked sideways.

Coming to the second floor of the restaurant, it is obviously more lively than below, and the surrounding rooms are noisy from time to time, like the food stalls of later generations.

This has always been the case in places where there is a lot of drinking.

When passing by a door, Li Yunze suddenly stopped.

When Yang Wei and the others looked at it in confusion, Li Yunze had already reached out and pushed open the hidden door.

The sound of shouting and hustle and bustle was instantly amplified.

There were more than ten people in the room who sat and drank freely, and all of them were red and obviously drunk.

Seeing someone suddenly break in, some people immediately shouted dissatisfiedly, "Where did you come from, retreat quickly..."

Seeing Li Yunze standing at the door and looking at everyone, the man immediately got up and was about to push him.

I never thought that I was being pulled by Li Bai on my side.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Li Bai, who was red-faced and red-eared, hurriedly saluted Li Yunze, "King~~~"

The room was suddenly quiet.

After being quiet for a while, a heavy man hurriedly got up and motioned for everyone to salute Li Yunze, "Meet the king~~~"

Most of the people here are famous people who came to participate in this imperial examination, and there are also their friends.

They all know that Li Bai has successfully become a leader, and Li Taibai's nobleman is King Shou.

What I know even more is that the one who really made the final decision in Luoyang's imperial examination this time was this Shouwang.

Now that I suddenly saw the deity, I was naturally apprehensive, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the king, causing me to finally fall off the list.

Fortunately, Li Yunze didn't embarrass them, he smiled and waved his hand, "No need to be polite, come in for dinner, pass by here, I heard that Taibai is persuading wine, so come in and have a look, why don't you go together?" ”

Naturally, everyone would not refuse this kind of good thing, and immediately rearranged their seats and gave up the main seat to Li Yunze.

Sitting down, Li Yunze looked at Li Bai, who was reluctant to stop being drunk, and asked with a smile, "Taibai is feasting here, have there ever been masterpieces?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Bai is not uncomfortable.

He immediately poured himself a glass of wine, and praised the Dong family's wine in one gulp.

Then he read out to everyone the work he had made with this intention in this moment.

"Today is Luoyang Dongjiaqiu, Tianjin Qiaonan Restaurant!"
