Chongrenfang, welcome auspicious view.

Yingxiangguan was originally known as Jinglongguan, because the sage dreamed of Lao Tzu in the first month of the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan Dynasty that Lao Tzu left a message "I am Ru Yuanzu also, there is a statue in the southwest of the capital more than 100 miles", it is ordered to visit, sure enough, in Wenxian Yu got a jade statue of Lao Tzu more than three feet high, so it was placed in Jinglongguan, renamed Yingxiangguan.

"Boom."

At noon, the bell rings in the temple.

The bell hangs on the triple high-rise building, it is cast by Ruizong Jingyun in the second year, so it is called "Jingyun Bell", the inscription is engraved on it, its sound is clear and pleasant, like a phoenix chirping.

With this bell, Du Hope paced into the cabinet building.

"Du Gong."

A young Taoist priest in the attic stood up and called politely.

This Taoist priest is only in his twenties, with a long and jade body, a gentle temperament, and is obviously extraordinary.

His name is Li Mi, the word Changyuan, born in the Liaodong House of the Li family in Zhao County, and is the sixth grandson of Li Bi, the Taishi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

At the age of seven, Li Mi had the reputation of a prodigy, and was summoned by the sage, when the sage was talking to Yan Guogong Zhang to watch chess, in order to give "Fang Yuan Movement and Quiet" to try it, Li Mi immediately replied that "if Fang is righteous, if the circle is wise, if it is moving, if it is proud", the sage was happy, and let him read it for the prince.

"Xue Bai has gone to the Daozheng Fang." Du wants to get straight to the point.

"Duke Du, please take a seat." Li Mi waved the dust in his hand slightly, and said with a light and breezy appearance: "Most of the people living in the Daozheng Square are right-hand ministers, and he is normal in the past. ”

"Aren't you afraid that he will find something?"

"Let's be honest with Du Gong." Li Midao: "At the beginning of the year, Huangfu Weiming returned to Chang'an and brought a group of Longyou veterans with him, with the purpose of investigating the case of renting Yong, which had nothing to do with the East Palace. ”

Du Hope asked rhetorically: "Nothing to do with it?" ”

Li Mi said solemnly: "Changyuan dares to guarantee that even if Li Linfu gets these Longyou veterans, he will not be able to find any handle in the East Palace, and he will only set himself on fire and lead to a big case." ”

"It turns out that Donggong is not worried? It seems that the old man is busy in vain. ”

"If Xue Bai is willing to stop, it is the best." Li Mi frowned unconsciously, showing some compassion, and said, "Doesn't Duke Du understand? If the investigation continues, the only ones who will suffer are still those soldiers. ”

Du wanted to close his eyes and sigh.

Of course, he understood what this meant, the saint did not have the heart to abolish the prince, but he was willing to see the right minister fighting with the East Palace. It's a struggle that is extremely difficult to see results,

Li Linfu is a knife, and he always cuts those who pin the hope of the society on the future.

The reason why these people hope for the crown prince is that they may be dissatisfied with the saint and feel that the saint has done wrong in recent years.

It will always be these people who are powerless to protect themselves.

"It's time for Xue Bai to stop." Li Mi said from the perspective of the East Palace, and at this time changed his angle, and said: "This case was handled to the end, involving the big case of renting Yong, and finding out that those taxes were all in the private treasury of the Son of Heaven, and then the saint was furious, and the first person to die was definitely Xue Bai, Li Linfu is known as 'Suo Fighting' and 'Meat Waist Knife', how can there be any possibility to protect him?" ”

Du hoped to say: "It's good to bring down Wang Jie." ”

Li Mi shook his head helplessly.

As long as the Sacred Heart does not change, there is nothing they can do.

"Xue Bai is young and smart, he shouldn't be a sacrifice for power, Du Gong should persuade him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and settle down in the future."

"I heard that Li Jingzhong was going to bury him alive."

"When the prince heard about this, he was also furious, and he had severely punished Li Jingzhong and promised to apologize to Xue Bai."

Du Hope nodded, thinking that it was enough for the dignified prince to make such a statement.

But he came today to convey it on behalf of others.

"The broken mirror can't be reunited, whether it's the Du family or Xue Bai, what I want now is nothing more than to live." Du Hope said slowly: "Du Youlin suffered an unjustified disaster and lost his official position. But I have deep hopes for the younger generations in the family, I don't know whether Xue Bai and Du Cheng's two sons, can they pass the tribute test in the autumn of tomorrow, and whether they can reach the first in the spring of the next year? ”

Li Mi was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "They are still ten years old when they are young, right?" Changyuan has not yet entered the office, why rush for a while? ”

Du Hope pulled his gray beard and said, "Then I don't know if I can let Du You's neighbor reinstate?" ”

Li Mi smiled bitterly: "Duke Du is in Honglu Temple, Changyuan is young, and he is a person who is an outsider, how can he ask Changyuan to be an important official?" ”

Du Hope smiled and didn't speak.

The crown prince seems to be powerless and powerless, but after his best friend Huangfu Weiming was demoted, he let his righteous brother Wang Zhongsi take over from Hexi and Longyoujie, which shows that he is secretly a great help.

Li Mi pondered for a long time, sighed in the tone of a young man, and said, "Seventeen-year-old Ming Jing and the first, the young man's heart is too anxious. ”

He shook his head, but accepted it.

"Changyuan will find a way to deal with this matter."

"Okay."

"Li Linfu will not do this for them." Li Mi laughed at himself and asked, "In this way, can Jin Wuwei withdraw?" ”

Unexpectedly, Du Hope shook his head again and said, "Xue Bai can stop, but he and the Du family can't afford to offend Li Linfu." ”

"What do you mean? Want to get around? ”

"The old man said this, the veteran of Longyou can not be investigated, but in Li Linfu's eyes, this matter must be the negligence of others, and it cannot be blamed on Xue Bai and the Du family."

Li Mi said: "This sounds to me, he still wants to take the benefits of both sides." ”

Du Hope was old, and when he talked about being a little tired at this time, he sighed: "The disaster can be eliminated, and that's it." ”

"But who are they like this?"

"Whose people?" Du Hope muttered in a low voice: "The whole world is a saint, so it doesn't matter who is from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and who is from the East Palace?" ”

Li Mi was silent for a long time and said, "How to do it?" ”

Du hoped to take out half a jade pendant.

This jade was originally carved with a double fish, but now it has been broken into two petals.

"The old man has handed over the other half to Xue Bai, and let the person in charge of the Daozheng Fang contact him."

Li Mi didn't take it immediately, some suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Isn't it their plan to lure the snake out of the hole?" ”

Du Hope smiled slightly and said, "Changyuan also has to consider Du Youlin's position. ”

He didn't say it all.

Xue Bai is young, and he doesn't even have an identity, whether it is the Right Prime Minister's Mansion or the East Palace, they may abandon him at any time, only Du Youlin's family is a grasshopper on a rope.

In other words, Xue Bai may betray Li Linfu or betray the crown prince at any time, but he will not sell the only Du family that can be trusted.

Li Mi took the jade pendant, went down to the attic, turned into the main hall, and recruited a little Taoist boy.

"Give it to Mr. Pei from the Daozheng Workshop."

~~

Provincial Government Workshop.

Xue Bai had been stationed in an alley for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Kyauknu finally asked.

Xue Bai raised his hand and said, "Look, the attic at the back of this mansion, can you see the Wanghuo Tower in the north and east of Fang?" ”

Kyaunu nodded, "I can see it." ”

Xue Bai said: "I observed today, and among the sixteen houses I marked, nine of them have attics that can transmit news to each other with Wanghuo Tower. ”

"You're saying they use the Lookout Tower to deliver news."

"It's just a guess."

Kyaunu was a little disappointed, but she felt a lot more relieved when she thought that if the right minister asked Xue Bai what he was doing today, he had already answered a good question.

She urged, "We need to get ahead of Giwin." ”

"Let's settle lunch first." Xue Bai said: "Go and ask the person what food is nearby." ”

Tian Shengong said with a smile: "No need to ask, when you go out of the fangmen, you will be the green gate, and there are the most wine shops." ”

"Ask which one is delicious."

Xue Bai still went to ask Wuhou who was chatting at the entrance of the alley and asked for directions.

Afterwards, the group led their horses away.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a dark cyan official robe paced over and asked Na Wuhou, "I'm bothered, dare to ask what that young man Langjun asked you about?" ”

"Ask Qingmen which restaurant is delicious, ha, I told him several restaurants. He asked me how the fish in Wangjiadian was? ”

"What else?"

"He said then go to Wang's shop to eat, you said he had an idea, and asked me what to do?"

When the blue-robed official heard this, he was a little puzzled.

~~

Out of the north gate of the Zhengfang, is Chunlinmen Street, which is the most prosperous Qingmen of Chang'an wine store.

Xue Bai led the horse across the long street, and suddenly shouted crisply.

"Chicken Boy! It's a chicken boy! ”

As everyone's eyes turned their heads, they saw a luxury car in front of them stopped in front of the Kangjia Restaurant, and a middle-aged man in a gorgeous brocade robe was getting out of the car.

Soon, many children gathered around and sang songs in unison.

"You don't need to be literate to give birth, and it's better to fight cocks than to read."

"The Jia family is thirteen years old, and it is not as good as wealth and glory."

The brocade-robed man laughed and hurriedly asked people to throw copper coins to the children.

Seeing this, Xue Bai thought of Mrs. Yu Guo and asked Kyauknu, "Who is that?" ”

"Cockfighting prodigy, Jia Chang." Kyauknu said: "This person has been poor since childhood, but he is talented, good at cockfighting, he became famous in Chang'an at the age of thirteen, performing cockfighting in front of the sage, as soon as he arrived at the chicken farm, the chickens took the initiative to come to him, so far he has been with the sage for 20 years, the cockfighting has never lost, the sage has rewarded countless people, and even personally acted as a matchmaker for him. ”

"Saints love cockfighting?"

"Hmm."

Tian Shengong stared at the horses in front of Jia Chang's car, unable to take his eyes off.

Tian Shenyu listened with envy and said, "I knew this earlier, and I still learned a lot of martial arts." If I had gone cockfighting, I would have become rich and noble. ”

"Go." Tian Shengong kicked his brother, "Don't think cockfighting is simple." ”

The slave suddenly stared, dismounted and made a great fortune.

"How?"

"Juro is there too."

Xue Bai turned his head to look and saw several young men in fancy clothes greeting Jia Chang, presumably one of them was Shilang of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

That Li Shilang didn't see the Kyauknu, and had already entered the restaurant.

"How many others are who?"

"The one who is patting Jia Chang on the shoulder is Wang Zhun, the son of Wang Ji in Hubu Langzhong, who is a well-known evil young man in Chang'an City, so don't offend easily."

It was the first time Xue Bai had heard Jiaonu say that it was not good to offend.

He looked again and found that the son of Wang Ji had a flamboyant demeanor, and his demeanor seemed to be more arrogant than that of Li Linfu's son.

"Speaking of which, Wang Zhu is Wang Zhun's uncle, and his other house is not far away?"

Kyauuknu heard the meaning of Xue Bai's words, and said: "You can suspect anyone, but Wang Ji is Ah Lang's right-hand man, and it is impossible to collude with the East Palace." ”

"What if his family is being taken advantage of?"

"Then you'd better have hard evidence." Jiaonu was stunned and said: "Otherwise, if you offend Wang Jiao, you ......"

At this time, they had walked to the front of Wang's store.

Seeing that Xue Bai was carrying a beautiful maid and a soldier to escort him, and he was a great person, he smiled and took his arm and led him inside.

"Lang Jun, please."

Sitting down, Kyauuknu took out a string of money and sent her away.

Xue Bai asked, "Go on, what will happen if I testify against Wang Jie's brother?" ”

"If you're mistaken, it's not as simple as burying you alive. If you have a few bones in your body, they will be torn down and broken one by one. Kyaunu whispered, "I'm not threatening you, I'm really breaking your bones to show you." ”

"What if I'm right?"

Kyauknu said: "Let's put it this way, the henchmen of the East Palace hate Wang Ji deeply, once the prince gains power, he will definitely confiscate Wang Gong's door." There is no way he can harbor the dead in the East Palace. ”

"What if his family is taken advantage of?"

In the past, the Kyauknu was quite arrogant, but this time when he thought about it carefully, his face became a little pale, and he shook his head.

Xue Bai smiled, becoming more and more aware of the situation.

How ruthless would a person who can squeeze a huge amount of money out of the families of the border soldiers to worship the Son of Heaven? What a monstrous power?

Although Wang Ji is Li Linfu's person, he is afraid that even Li Linfu is afraid of him.

When you think about it, Gynwin is the real smart guy.
