"The emperor said that the dishes I made were delicious!" Tao Niang has been in a state of excitement since she learned the identity of Emperor Zhao Tuo. Holding Li Dan's arm, he said this sentence countless times, making him cry and laugh.

"That's right, my peach girl is getting more and more capable!" Li Dan hugged her shoulders tightly, which made the little girl feel even more proud.

But...... They suddenly stopped, and there was a person standing in front of the courtyard gate, the moonlight was bright, and Li Dan recognized it as Yang Dayi from his figure.

"Why don't you stand here and sit in?" After Li Dan finished speaking, he looked reproachfully at the guard's personal soldiers.

"Don't blame him, I'm embarrassed to go in." Yang Dayi hurriedly said. At this time, the peach lady with a fever on her face had already blessed him, and slipped out of the room without waiting for the salute.

Yang Dayi looked at her back, stepped into the courtyard with Li Dan, and said with a smile, "This girl, I'm still shy when I see it."

"It's still a little mile." Li Dan hurriedly said.

"I don't care about her age, the main thing is that she has a bed warmer by your side. But you didn't think about picking up A-Ying and Ning'er over?" Yang Dayi reproached slightly:

"Your aunt has written to me several times asking me to urge you to do this, but she is waiting to hold the doll, and I don't know how long it will take you to go to Liaodi......?"

Li Dan suddenly understood why he was standing under the moon, and asked in surprise, "Have you ordered the paperwork of the soldiers?"

"Hmm!" Yang Dayi smiled and nodded: "Let me be the left envoy of the Governor's Mansion, hey, let's be in the same place again." Why, wouldn't you be able to do it without me?"

"What a thing!" Li Dan was very happy: "Instead of letting someone who doesn't know the roots do this position, it's better for you to come!"

Yang Dayi looked at the courtyard, lowered his voice and asked, "There was a mess in the front yard just now, I heard that the royal driver is coming?"

Li Dan nodded: "This is not just sent away. Your Majesty ate the refreshments and vegetables made by Xiao Nizi, and made her so proud!" Li Dan smiled: "At first, you didn't see her scared, her face turned white and her hands trembled."

"How many people are as bold as you? Even when I saw the holy car, my legs involuntarily wanted to bend down, you are good, you dare to call your majesty brothers, it is better to be more restrained in the future!"

Yang Dayi wanted to say something, but Li Dan glared at him: "You, why do you nag more and more when you get older? If you marry your aunt and put them together, won't you annoy me?"

As he spoke, his old face turned red, and Li Dan simply took offense as defense: "Oh yes, when are you going to go home to propose marriage?"

"I'm a garrison now, even if I take office under you, it's only a fifth-grade martial artist." Yang carelessly scratched the back of his head embarrassedly:

"I thought, how can I get a fourth grade, or actually give the guard to command the affairs, or have a martial arts commander who rides the capital. Otherwise, I'm embarrassed to come to the door, I've been mixed up for so many years.......

Like you, a kid who ascends to the Dragon Gate is a six-rank civil official and a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and there have never been a few since the founding of this dynasty! How can it be so easy?"

At that time, it was customary for a sixth-rank civil official to control a military attache below the fifth rank, which was called using literature to control the military. Although Li Dan was disgusted, he could only follow the old rules for the time being.

If Yang Dayi marries Xiao Qian, it is equivalent to Li Dan's stepfather.

He knew that Yang Dayi felt that his face was not good if his official position was lower than his own, so he wanted to make a merit this time and raise the rank again, so he smiled and whispered: "Anyway, we are ready for you to have the opportunity, and it is your own to be able to perform or pull your crotch loosely."

Yang scolded with a smile and poked a fist in his waist. But hearing Li Dan say this, his heart is still warm, after so many years of being alone, he finally has a heart for himself.

As soon as he closed his eyes now, she was sitting there gently, and he also wanted to see the person in the floral apron appear in his courtyard as soon as possible, no, it was in the general's mansion!

The two dozen or so people who returned to the palace from the emperor that night were all very excited when they returned. Especially the people like Duan Fang and Gao Cang, who came over anyway, were in high spirits, crying and worshipping in the direction of the palace.

The next day, Li Dan asked Tiedao about it, and only then did he know that the emperor actually got off the bus at the bridgehead to meet everyone.

While thanking them, he also talked to a few people and praised them for their military appearance

Yan Zheng, they are all strong men, and they also asked who will go to Liao with them, and promised that those who have meritorious service will be rewarded unruly, etc., so everyone is very excited.

On the way back, no one dared to show it, and they couldn't control it when they entered the residence.

"Childe, do you want me to reprimand them?" Iron Knife asked.

"Why should you be responsible?" Li Dan asked.

"After all, ...... are all your retainers."

"Huh!" Li Dan waved his hand: "First of all, the talents of the country, and secondly, my retainers, you must tell everyone this sentence."

If they have a few generals, it will be a blessing for the country, and the second will be my honor. You can't go wrong with that!" After a pause, he added:

"It's not as real as prostrating and showing determination on the battlefield now, tell everyone to set off immediately, and have the strength to stay to deal with the enemy!"

"Yes, I see!"

Li Dan came to judge Jie: "That Zhuang Twenty-seven sent away?"

Shen Jie said yes. Zhuang Shun promised to cooperate with the staff to atone for his crimes, on the condition that he would not be forced to harm the life of Yebi Khan. As for whether he wants to stay in the grassland or return to the Central Plains in the future, it is up to him to choose.

"I said yes." Shen Jie said: "He has not accepted too much Huhua, and he is still conscientious and familiar with the grassland, so we need such a person."

Li Dan nodded: "Okay, you look at the arrangement, as long as he turns back, in the future, it is okay to let him enter the capital to do things!"

"Not necessarily." Juan Jie laughed and shook his head and said, "He's a gust of wind, and he won't feel comfortable when you lock him in the house and put him in the yard, so it's better to let him wander freely among the hills and grassy slopes!"

Taking advantage of the resignation of Cai Langzhong from the Ministry of Justice, Li Dan saw that there was no one in the house, and quietly told him that the ministers of the court had an affair with the grassland, and Cai Xing was so frightened that his face turned white.

"Li, Lord Li, we can't talk without evidence." After saying this, Cai Xing regretted it, how could people say it if they didn't catch something?

As soon as he got up today, he heard that the emperor had come out of Li Dan's house at night, and the latter had sent his own guards to escort him directly to the bridgehead outside the palace in the imperial city.

This honor has no precedent since His Majesty's accession to the throne. He swallowed to hide his embarrassment, but he almost choked himself.

Li Dan thought that he was frightened by the news, and patted him on the back and said, don't worry, I have a lot of evidence here, "The Korga spies in the city have contacted him many times and obtained news.

When the people who must have been sent heard that there was such a line for the purpose of fighting for merit, they also sent their own cronies to meet him, and stayed in his house for several days, until they learned that Yanlie Khan had left Beijing, and did not report to the steppe.

Thankfully, it's all under our control, otherwise there would have been a big mess!"

"That...... Do the Krkas spies need to be apprehended immediately?"

"No, let's keep it useful, we can touch the melon along the vine." Li Dan said that these things have been explained to Chen Chun, as long as they are implemented according to the established policy.

"The key is for adults to know in their hearts," Li Dan continued, "Maybe it's just a giant rat we dug up, and there are other things we don't know.

Another incident is that the guards of the Aries Pass accepted bribes and secretly let the Kels enter the customs, but it was the great eunuchs who were also close to the Khan who were released into the customs!

This problem is too serious, and Director Liu must be asked to carefully screen the top and bottom of Baiyangkou. However, this matter will be dealt with after General Deng takes action outside the border wall, so let's collect evidence first."

Cai Xing praised again and again and promised to make this matter a key priority. Unexpectedly, Li Dan smiled bitterly and told him that there was something more troublesome than this, and as soon as he said the words "Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies", Cai Xing trembled.

Li Dan glanced at him and continued, telling him that the guy who went to the grassland to report the news was equipped with a waist card for joining the army in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. This position is only equivalent to the seven-rank military attaché, but it is also because of this that the number is very large.

It is not unusual for the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces to send people to various places on official business, and most of them are such low-level military attachés, so it is not very noticeable.

The question is who this person got this waist card from, so it is likely to dig out a large Qian Mansion in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies along this line

Viper!

"This matter can't be done slowly, because it involves all future military operations, and it is necessary for Director Liu to dig out all the moths and poisonous insects as soon as possible, and the sooner the better!"

After Li Dan finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it over, Cai Xing lowered his head and opened it, it turned out to be a pencil rubbing of the waist card, but the handwriting and number were clearly legible.

"Where's the original?" He asked.

"It's still on him." Li Dan said, "If he doesn't deliver Yanlie Khan's movements in time, how can that Zhenlang take the bait? Isn't General Deng's credit just flying?"

After joking, Li Dan pointed to the rubbing very seriously: "If this matter is done well, Director Liu will naturally be a credit, and adults will have to be evaluated for their performance if they are in the middle." It's certain that the prefect of a first-class place will be released!"

He knew that Cai Xing had long been impatient with this job and had been seeking to be released, so he took a word to motivate him.

Sure enough, Cai Xing smiled with his eyebrows: "Borrow your brother's auspicious words, brother, I thank you first!"

He can't say, "I know you have a good relationship with the emperor, help me say a few good words", this kind of thing, things in the officialdom can't be so provocative, Li Dan will understand and say that it is easy to say.

This Cai Xing has been in the post for eight years, but he knows nothing about military affairs, has no interest in intelligence work, and has not had any ideas about the construction of this institution.

So it may be a good thing to be released out, Director Liu, who is in his early thirties, is more enterprising than him, and it is not bad to cooperate with Li Dan these days.

After arranging these things and going home happily, thinking that he would leave the capital in two days, Li Dan sighed softly, as if he had never been so nostalgic for a place when the troops were mobilized in his previous life.

You, you have been soaked in the rich life of the feudal class for too long! He knew that he was reluctant to peach girl, and Xiangyu who couldn't meet in public.

"Appeal ——!" The carriage stopped suddenly.

"Huh? What's going on?" Li Dan was very unhappy to be pulled out of his thoughts.

"Childe, there's a two-horse carriage parked next to us. And also...... The palace guards." The Mao boy who was sitting in front of him pulled the car window and whispered to the car.

Li Dan was inexplicable, and saw him retract. In a moment, the young maid in palace clothes walked to the door of the car and blessed her. Li Dan was taken aback, he had the impression that the first person he saw when he kicked open the door and went in to save Miyun in the inn was her!

Li Dan hurriedly pushed the glass window on the car door, and listened to the maid whisper, "Princess Miyun has learned that you are about to leave Beijing, please come to the car to talk."

"Is this ...... appropriate?" Li Dan asked in a low voice, his heart pounding with nervousness.

"My lord, our two cars are so close to each other, it's hard for others to see after the door is opened, and there are guards at both ends to maintain it, as long as it doesn't take long, it doesn't matter." The maid peeked at him after speaking, and seemed to have a smile on her lips.

"That's right." Li Dan understood, aligned the doors, and the two doors opened to form a sandwich channel, which was still protected by armor. Well, that's a design inspiration.

Without further ado, Li Dan immediately instructed Lu Jiu to take a few more steps forward in the carriage. Fortunately, it is not a prosperous place, and there are not many pedestrians and vehicles. He suddenly realized that the princess had deliberately waited here.

"Please come over the carriage." The two maids guarded the two doors, and Li Dan took a deep breath and jumped out of his car and quickly entered the opposite carriage. A faint scent entered his nostrils, helping him quickly understand where the princess was.

"The minister has seen Her Royal Highness." Li Dan bowed.

"Saburo, please take a seat." Princess Miyun's voice was very small, as if she didn't dare to speak.

"Don't dare, just ask the princess to call Dan by his name."

"I heard the royal brother say, you talk about poetry, beautiful scenery, and things in the world together, you are not brothers but you are better than brothers, why are you left in front of me?"

"Well, the minister and His Majesty have a heart-to-heart fellowship, and the other wholeheartedly assists, and the minister does not dare to treat His Highness like this, so he is always worried, this, this ......."

Miyun laughed out loud: "Okay, sit down and talk, don't you feel uncomfortable with such a big man hunched over like a shrimp?"

Li Dan smiled and sat on the opposite side

, arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the princess's mercy, the minister's head is not high, and the Dou Zhuangyuan is half a mile taller than the minister!"

"Don't mention him to me!" Mi Yun's face sank: "I asked you, the imperial brother asked you about my marriage, why did you push me to him?"

"No, I don't have ......." Li Dan hurriedly waved his hand: "No one else is as good as him. You don't know, this man I have ever seen, he is good-tempered, upright, and lofty, and of course he is not very learned...... Hey, you...... Why are you crying?"

Li Dan was frightened, if this reached the ears of the Queen Mother, saying that Li Sanlang provoked her baby daughter, what would it be? Even if she is not her mother, I heard that the queen mother also loves Miyun so much that she can't leave her side every day.

Yes, Li Dan remembered, "You...... How did you get out today? The Queen Mother agreed?"

Miyun sobbed his eyes and replied, "I, I asked Yanlie Khan's sister to go to the Chijin Temple to offer incense, and she asked the Buddha to bless her brother for safety, and the Queen Mother was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to be alone, so she asked me to accompany her."

"Oh! I see." Li Dan hurriedly smiled and said, "Yanlie Khan asked me to take care of her before leaving, and I was just about to say that I was going to see what she and her sister-in-law needed. In that case, why don't we go with us?"

Li Dan's meaning was that the two cars followed one after the other, and he was afraid that he would be alone in the carriage with the princess like this, and she would be very uncomfortable looking at him on the other side.

"Okay!" Mi Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and applauded, so it was much better than stopping at the base of this imperial city to talk!

Before Li Dan could react, she had already made her own decision and ordered the two maids to take Li Dan's car to follow behind. As soon as the car door closed, Li Dan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the princess had her own ideas!

The guards were opening the way ahead, the carriage was marching down the street, and Li Dan's eyes didn't know where to look.

All I could hear was the sound of the cord, and then a soft, fragrant body sat on his lap, arms around his neck.

"I heard the female officials in the palace say that the officials in the world like this, but is it true?" Miyun whispered, and his breath was like an orchid.

"What tongue would dare to teach His Highness this? It's not ......!"

The soft lips touched together, "Is that so?" Miyun asked.

"No, no, Your Highness."

"So what to do?"

"You, you want me to teach you?"

"What do you say, Saburo?"

After a period of dizziness and trembling, Miyun slowly woke up in Li Dan's arms: "Is this it?"

"What has come to be?"

"So I can give you a baby?"

Li Dan almost threw her away! It turns out that these grandmothers didn't teach her? Also, they haven't married yet. "That's not going to work, it's called kissing, it's just intimate contact to show love." Li Dan whispered in her ear, as if she was afraid that a third person in the car would hear it.

"So how can you have a baby?"

"Why do you want to have children at such a young age?" Li Dan said angrily.

"I thought, can I give you ......?"

"No!" Li Dan categorically: "If I become His Majesty's brother-in-law, then I have to stay in the Horse Mansion, and I won't be able to assist your imperial brother." Would you like the Imperial Brother to have one less loyal, capable courtier?"

Mi Yun's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked slyly, "It turns out that you pushed me to the champion duke, because you can't let go of the glory and wealth?"

"The glory and wealth can be earned by themselves, and the key is that I am the one who can help His Majesty deal with these troubles!"

"Whoa, quibble!" Mi Yun's face suddenly flushed slightly: "That champion is really that good?"

"Really!" Li Dan nodded hurriedly.

"That...... I don't even know how to have a baby with him, you have to teach me!"

"What? I—I'm not your grandmother!" Li Dan was shocked and wanted to take her arms off her neck, but he didn't dare to use force.

"Mama is not a man!" Mi Yun's eyes narrowed, it was actually very big and clear, and Li Dan felt that he was going to fall in.

"But, it's in the car!"

"There's still a long way to go, so there's definitely enough time!" Miyun again

Leaned up and whispered in his ear.

Li Dan's heart trembled: "Alas, Your Majesty, how can you have such a beautiful girl? It's terrible!" He gritted his teeth and picked up Miyun to the back seat, his hands were busy, and asked her, "You won't regret it, will you?"

"Will Saburo do?"

"I'm not that kind of bastard!" Li Dan found that he would not laugh embarrassedly when he said a foul word. "I'm only going to do it, but I won't really let you have a baby!" The rough breath he exhaled made Miyun's ears itch, but it was very comfortable.

"Whatever you want!" Miyun felt that she couldn't hold it anymore and was about to turn into mud, but who expected Li Dan to lower her head and bite it, she shivered and hugged the man's head softly, unable to move anymore.

Stars and raindrops fell in the sky, and the rain became more and more dense. The slightest bit of it, big and small, stopped for a while, but it all fell into the dry soil and disappeared in an instant.

The ground was filled with mud, and the rain stopped, as if the clouds were afraid of splashing out all the precious water, and deliberately showed mercy to them.

Chijin Temple is located in the northeast of the city, was built in the middle of the Jin Dynasty, and the original site was on the east side of the North Drum Tower. In the previous dynasty, the Yellow Sect was revived, and the Chijin Temple was once changed to the Yellow Sect Temple. It was only in the early years of this dynasty that it was changed back to a Buddhist temple.

After Taizong set the capital, because the site of the North Drum Tower was too close to the temple, and considering that the requisite Ergu people and the retained dignitaries in the city would be concentrated in the four squares in the northeast corner of the city, it was decided to move the temple and the Dagong Temple of the Yellow Sect to these four squares.

Chijin Temple is located at the junction of Daguan Lane and Yongtai Road, and Dagong Temple is located in the east of Daguan Lane and the north of Fanqing Road. Originally, the two temples were almost the same size, but over the decades, Dagong Temple has grown a lot, and Chijin Temple has remained quietly unchanged.

When the two carriages arrived at the mountain gate one after the other and then stopped side by side, Li Dan said that he would go to help the princess preside over the meeting first, and see if Ejina had arrived. Miyun asked sensitively, "Hey, do you know his name?"

"Oh, I met when His Majesty asked his ministers to go to his camp before Yanlie Khan succeeded to the throne." After Li Dan finished speaking, he quickly slipped away.

"This guy!" Miyun muttered so much, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked the maid to help him tidy it up: "This road is so long, my hair is loose!"

The personal maid got into the car and was stunned, those hairpins ...... It's not like this when I dressed up for the princess before I came out......!

Sure enough, as Li Dan expected, Ejina rode in from Dongcheng on horseback, much faster than they came through the city!

Looking at Ejina, who was wearing a small placket and a thin waist tightly tied with a purple ribbon around his waist, Li Dan was a little surprised, he really didn't expect that the Ergu girl would also have such a waist.

However, Ejina does not have the delicacy of Han women, but has more healthy and confident beauty.

She stood by the incense burner in front of the main hall in the sunlight, and said a little shyly, "Why are you here?"

"I heard Princess Miyun say that you are here, so I came with me, I want to say goodbye to you, and see if you need my help?" Li Dan said.

Ejina bit her lip, shook her head and said, "We don't need anything, the officials of the imperial court take good care of it, you don't have to worry about me."

"How can you not be worried? I don't know how long I've been with the Kaers." Li Dan raised his eyes to look over after speaking, but he was looking at her and couldn't help but be stunned.

Ejina was not born from the beggar's concubine, her mother was captured during the western expedition, and because of her beauty, she was sacrificed to the beggar and became his side concubine.

Ejina inherited some of her mother's genes, tall and white-skinned, slightly three-dimensional facial features, high nose and small mouth, jet-black hair but a pair of light blue eyes, looking at each other as if curious, and as if there were countless questions.

"You'll be defeated, I know!" She said.

Li Dan laughed: "What else do you know by borrowing your auspicious words?"

"You will be my man," Ejina whispered, "as the Great Khan said."

"Your brother?"

Ejina nodded: "He said that he wanted me to give birth to you and stay in the Central Plains."

Li Dan felt that the weather was a little hot, and he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today, why did anyone he met have to give birth to me?

"Don't you want me?" Ejina asked, tilting her head

。

"You, you listen to me." Li Dan wanted to walk over and hug her waist, but only took a step, and Ejina jumped away two steps with his hands behind his back.

"No, no. At least not today!"

"What doesn't work, why?" Li Dan was a little confused.

"Don't touch me when you smell of another woman," Ejina smiled mischievously, "The shaman said it would be a curse."

After speaking, she glanced behind her: "Her Royal Highness the princess is here, I will go to greet her." After saying that, he ran away.

Li Dan looked at her back in wonder. Alas! A little white rabbit escapes, leaving the big bad wolf with a regretful heart! But...... She's dog-nosed? What does it smell like on me? Li Dan sniffed and shook his head.

"In my previous life, I only had the male protagonist flirting with women when I read online articles, how could Brother Dan be the opposite? Alas, feudalism harms people!"
