The golden basket of Baodian cups is filled with fine wine, and it is full of brilliance.

Li Linfu's fingers gently rubbed the pattern on the wall of the cup, and his expression was slightly solemn.

He is dividing the sphere of influence in the court and making rules for how the two factions get along.

Whether it is the height of the temple or the distance of the rivers and lakes, there is no rule and no circle, and it is always impossible to let hundreds of officials attack each other all day long.

"The salt law can only be tried in Hedong, and the prime minister must not see that there are salt officials in other places to harm the people."

"How about a five-year period?"

Xue Bai didn't agree too happily, and said in a deep voice: "Within five years, we will not interfere in the tax items outside Hedong, and the affairs of the world will still come from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

He put down the golden cup in his hand and felt that the osmanthus dew in Xiangfu was quite delicious, not too sweet, and the taste was fragrant.

Li Linfu put forward another condition and said: "Pei Kuan should give up the post of secretary of the household department." ”

"The right minister is laughing, the salt tax in Hedong is all due to Pei Gong, how can I agree?" Although Xue Bai knew that Pei Kuan would not be able to keep it sooner or later, it was impossible for him to give up on such an occasion easily, and asked reluctantly: "How about giving up the position of Imperial Doctor?" ”

Wang Ji and An Lushan are now vying for this position, so they simply threw away this piece of meat and gave it to the two wolves to rob it.

Li Linfu saw through Xue Bai's thoughts, his eyes showed contempt, and he said coldly: "The head of the household must let it out." ”

"Why rush? Although Pei Gong is in office, the household department is actually in the hands of Wang Jie. Xue Bai said unhurriedly, as if he remembered something, and asked: "Since he has been able to take charge of the household department, Wang Ji has to be appointed as a waiter and a scholar?" ”

Li Linfu was silent for a while, and then he really gave up.

The two sides reached a consensus, and after talking about the popularization of bamboo paper by the Yang Party, Xue Bai won some official positions as a supervisor, and even pushed Li Xiu to the post of a general and a young eunuch.

In addition, a few local officials in Sichuan and Shu were asked for to purchase bamboo materials.

Once the bamboo paper process matures, the price of white rattan paper first plummets, and with the discount of some books and ink treasures, there are countless troubles. Li Linfu thought that if he did it himself, it would be fine, the Yang Party was far from the momentum of the right minister's house, and if he couldn't control it, he would definitely be attacked by it, so he could watch from the sidelines.

Finally, there is the focus of cooperation between the two sides.

"Don't worry, if the Pei Mian case can't be found, the saint won't blame the right minister." Xue Bai said: "The right minister has suffered a setback because of me, and it is the time of grievance. ”

"Do you have to thank you?"

Li Linfu doesn't need to be reminded to know how to do it.

Since the sage thought that he didn't do well and promoted Yang Chen, then he just had a little temper, "Yang Yun is so powerful, you let Yang Yun investigate." ”

Speaking from the heart, he was indeed a little annoyed, he had investigated the East Palace for many years, and many cases had been handled. Purely raising him as a dog, he wanted him to bark at Li Heng all day long, but in fact, he was holding the dog leash tightly to prevent the dog from really biting it, and now he has an extra dog.

Having said that, Li Linfu was also curious about how Xue Bai would win over the prince's brother, which was by no means an easy task. With a twinkle in his eyes, he decided to test the day.

"If the prime minister guessed correctly, do you plan to let Yang Chen take over the case and take the opportunity to intimidate Wang Zhonghei?"

Xue Bai shook his head.

If it is said that winning over Wang Zhonghei is like snatching someone's wife's room, Li Linfu's method is too simple and rude, "Wang Zhonghei, if you don't know what to do, this big crime will fall on you?" ”

"We don't check." Xue Bai said: "The right minister only needs to say that he can't find a clue, and ask the saint to hand over the case to ...... East Palace came to check. ”

"Check by the East Palace?"

Li Linfu wanted to pick up the gold cup, but his movements froze when he heard the words.

He was stunned, the people of the time called him a rope fighting and a meat waist knife, compared to the insidiousness of the young man in front of him, at this moment, he actually felt ashamed.

The gaze that looked at Xue Bai gradually became complicated, in addition to surprise and jealousy, there was also tacit understanding, and a little bit of resentment...... This was supposed to be the son-in-law who advised the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xue Bai's trick is very poisonous, because as long as the two of them join forces, they can decide what the East Palace can and can't find, and even decide what the sage thinks of the results found in the East Palace.

By then, the separation of the prince and his brother-in-law has gone from impossible to possible.

"I understand it." Li Linfu finally picked up his wine glass.

"Okay." Xue Bai said: "Then it's decided." ”

The two golden cups saluted each other in the air and reached a tacit understanding.

But there is one thing they didn't mention, after separating Li Heng and Wang Zhonghe, Li Linfu can also win over Wang Zhonghe.

Xue Bai did it on purpose, the more possibilities he had, he would give Wang Zhongsi a little more chance to live......

After the matter was settled, Li Linfu motioned for the maids to come in and serve the wine, and once again learned the hearty laughter of the saint.

"At that time, you and your grandfather came to see off the employment together, but it was delayed due to some trivial matters, and this marriage can continue to be discussed."

When it comes to marrying a daughter, he is actually a little hesitant, and he doesn't like Xue Baijian's style of going sideways. But hesitation does not mean giving up, it is foreseeable that after today, Li Heng will have to go all out to win over Xue Bai, which is definitely not the result he wants to see.

"One time, another time." Xue Bai said: "It's appropriate that the right minister doesn't have to bring up the old things again. ”

"King Guangping had planned to marry the lord of Hezheng County to you." Although Li Linfu had a smile on his face, he habitually said with coercion, "According to the original appearance, it is appropriate for you to marry Seventeen Niang as soon as possible." ”

~~

"Keep serving."

Li Xiu turned his head to look at the banquet hall and beckoned the maidservants to arrange it.

"I'll come." Li Shiniang stepped forward, picked up the silver kettle from a tray, and said with a smile: "Brother also knows, it's fun to drink with me." ”

Li Xiu admits this.

At the banquet, there was a woman who was beautiful, brightly dressed, spoke meatily, and had fun, and the atmosphere was always very good, and Li Shiniang was such a character.

"But Xue Bai doesn't know how to drink."

"That's better, you can have a deep friendship with a shallow drink."

Li Shiniang was interested, and trotted up with the wine jug in her hand, but she couldn't stop it.

A gust of incense wafted by, and the incense on her body was specially made, called "Hechun Xiang", which actually had a slightly aphrodisiac effect.

Li Xiu was also helpless when she saw this situation.

The next moment, a figure hurriedly passed by him, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Li Tengkong in a Taoist robe, although he still looked fluttering, he was clearly a little anxious.

"Huh."

Li Tengkong was actually not anxious, but he felt that Xue Bai, a serious person, came to the mansion as a guest, and if Eleven Niang teased him like usual, it would not be good in short.

Footsteps hurriedly ran through the corridor and entered the banquet hall, and the sound of conversation inside could be heard through the screen, and there was a faint quarrel.

Sure enough, just listening to Li Linfu's angry tone, she knew that Xue Bai was unwilling to marry her.

"What? You can't take a fancy to the daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion! ”

"If you have to tell the truth, I like Seventeen Niang very much, what I don't like is the right phase and this right phase house."

“……”

The raised robe fell, Li Tengkong stopped, almost fell because he ran too fast, and hurriedly held on to the screen, being frightened there.

Although Xue Bai always wrote poems for her, it was euphemistic after all, but today she is so straightforward and bold...... She suddenly felt that her heart was beating too fast.

Ahead, Xue Bai hadn't turned around yet, and Li Shiniang was sitting on the table on the side with a wine jug. Li Teng retreated, not knowing whether to step forward or run away at this time.

Suddenly.

"Knock, knock."

Heavy footsteps came from the hallway.

In the distance, a voice was heard.

"Right Phase, Hu'er is here......"

Li Tengkong thought to himself, since there were foreign visitors, Eleven Niang couldn't do anything too much, so he fled immediately.

Xue Bai turned around and saw a simple and elegant shadow, with a little panic in his eyes.

He got up and walked to the door of the hall, where Li Tengkong was quickly crossing the path with his two maidservants and hiding back in the backyard.

In the other direction, the heavy footsteps grew louder and louder.

"Knock, knock."

Finally, an obese figure turned the powder wall, and An Lushan was running with his stomach in his hands.

He didn't run very fast, but he created a posture that shook the ground and shook the mountains, and he seemed very enthusiastic.

"Little uncle!"

An Lushan also saw Xue Bai standing outside the banquet hall, greeted him with a smile, and said, "How did Uncle come to greet Hu'er in person?" Hu'er can't stand it, can't stand it. ”

Xue Bai frowned, wondering why this Hu'er came over?

Looking at the arrangements of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion today, Li Linfu should not have invited An Lushan. Then there may be a possibility, An Lushan got the news and guessed that he was going to persuade Li Linfu to let go of Pei Kuan and Wang Zhonghei and rush to stop it. Because from the standpoint, An Lushan is more jealous of these two people than Li Linfu.

But does this Hu'er know that he wants to protect the king's loyalty? He only said this today.

Xue Bai looked at the big fat face with a smile on his face, but he only saw a face full of innocence.

~~

"Originally, the sage wanted to recruit Hu Er to go to Xingqing Palace to report on his work, but something was delayed." As soon as An Lushan sat down, he laughed and said, "When I inquired, it turned out that my uncle offered bamboo paper, which is really a great thing for the benefit of all people." ”

It's hard for him to say this without the slightest complaint, and he doesn't need to be answered by others, and he can go on and on his own.

"Hu Er really admires his uncle so much, and he also sent a gift to his uncle today, only to know that his uncle had come to the right minister's mansion for a banquet. Then I hurriedly came to beg for a glass of wine, hehe. ”

"Oh." Li Linfu said: "Hu'er has also been to Xue's house?" ”

"Not only have I been to Xue's house, but I have given gifts to several places." An Lushan said: "The house where my uncle lives is too small, and Hu Er is not often in Chang'an, so I plan to tell the sage to give the house of Daozheng Fang to my uncle......"

"No." Xue Bai interrupted An Lushan's gushing and said, "An Dafu is a general in a border town, I am just a white body, how dare I let the court order the ministers to give up the house." ”

"Uncle, you're welcome."

"I'm not the uncle of Ondafu, so I don't need to be called that anymore."

In the face of such a cold attitude, An Lushan still smiled, holding his big belly and said: "It's fun to say, why is my uncle so serious?" When my uncle marries the Right Prime Minister's Mansion again, everyone is a family. ”

Xue Bai suddenly understood, and was sure that this Hu'er was really here for bad things.

He knew that this beard would be a big threat in the future, so he took a glass of osmanthus dew and avoided his gaze.

At the moment, his strength is weak, and he is far from being the opponent of these two towns. And An Lushan does not have any scruples like Li Linfu, and there are many elite soldiers under his hands.

In the face of such a smiling tiger, it is not appropriate for the other party to perceive the threat he has.

Just thinking about this, Xue Bai suddenly smelled a burst of aroma, and something soft was attached to his arm, and when he turned his head, it was Li Shiniang who came over with a wine glass.

"Well said, it's all family. I look forward to Xue Lang being my brother-in-law, so we can play together. ”

Li Shiniang pursed her lips and smiled, poured the wine in her cup into his cup, and said with a smile: "How can you have fun drinking some small fruit sher?" Come, Xue Lang taste mine, and have a drink together. ”

"Okay, good, drink together." An Lushan also laughed, driving the atmosphere.

Xue Bai pretended to be flustered, and when he raised his hand, he spilled the two glasses of wine that Li Shiniang had picked up.

"Ah, my clothes."

"It's rude." Xue Bai's robe was also wet, and he got up and said, "I can't drink enough, so I'll leave." ”

Instead of thinking about how to deal with An Lushan, it was better to go directly, anyway, he had already persuaded Li Linfu first.

With the current situation, there is no reason for the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to forcibly keep guests, only Li Shiniang is still unwilling, and wants to try her charm to beat Aunt Yang a few points.

"Xue Lang, slow down, I'll send you one."

Li Shiniang deliberately took Xue Bai from the side yard, bypassing the path, and suddenly shouted, but the shawl on her shoulder was hung on the small branch.

She seemed to want to break out, and accidentally almost ripped off the belt, and hurriedly beckoned to Xue Bai, calling in a coquettish tone with orders: "Hey, why don't you come over quickly?" Explain it to me. ”

This arrogant and arrogant attitude did add a little seduction to her, because it showed her power and made men want to conquer.

No, Xue Bai walked straight away.

"You!"

There was a "hiss" sound behind him, and he didn't bother to turn his head back, and walked forward for a while.

Li Tengkong's footsteps hurriedly came out of the flowers and trees, resumed his leisurely stroll posture and took two steps before turning around.

"Hey, it's you."

"There are some matters to talk to the right." Xue Bai asked, "Are you sending me out?" ”

"Okay."

Li Tengkong turned around and led the way, wanting to tell him that the things he had done for her were to reconcile with Princess Xianyi and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion...... She knows it all.

But when the words came to her mouth, she became an unfathomable tone.

"Every mundane thing can disturb people's mood, this matter of the right minister's house, you don't have to take it to heart, and you don't have to worry about it. As I said, getting along with you is a practice. ”

In fact, she just didn't want to embarrass him, but when it came to the future, she didn't know how to justify herself, so she raised her eyes to look at the sky and said lightly: "Just like those two clouds, gathering and scattering are all natural principles of Taoism, and they can't be forced." ”

Xue Bai looked up and saw that two layers of heavy dark clouds had gathered together.

The next moment, water droplets fell on his face.

"It's raining?"

"Huh?"

Li Tengkong was stunned for a moment, seeing that it was really raining, he was inexplicably embarrassed, and felt embarrassed, so he hurriedly pulled Xue Bai to the corridor to take shelter from the rain.

"I don't mean ......"

"I know, the Tao is natural." Xue Bai smiled, looked at the sudden heavy rain outside the eaves, and said, "Let it be." ”

……

Kyauknu took the umbrella, turned to the corridor, and saw Xue Bai and Li Tengkong watching the rain side by side, eager to force the two of them together, so as not to have so much trouble.

"Xue Lang, umbrella."

"Thank you."

Jiaonu glanced at Xue Bai, and suddenly thought that she had a rare dress today, and she should seduce him according to Shi Niang's instructions, so as to show that she could marry with Qi Niang.

She then learned to raise her eyes so shyly, and gave him a charming look.

Xue Bai seemed to be a little dazed by her, took the umbrella, opened it, and hurriedly walked into the rain.

~~

"Xue Bai, here!"

At the gate of Pingkangfang, Du Wulang sat in the carriage and looked around, and when he saw Xue Bai coming out, he hurriedly beckoned.

"Why are you here?"

"It's not that I'm worried that my brother will be bad for you, so I'm here to pick you up." Du Wulang said proudly: "I knew it was going to rain when I saw the sky, so I drove the carriage, right?" ”

"It's amazing."

Xue Bai thought to himself that Li Tengkong couldn't see the weather even a Taoist priest, but was seen by this stupid boy, in short, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion was also strange.

"How? Are you married? ”

"The situation is settled." Xue Bai said: "Just before Zahu arrived, I explained the situation to my brother and nu thoroughly." ”

"Speaking of this miscellaneous beard, do you know that he gave gifts to my house?" Du Wulang said: "Not only my family, but also your teacher's family, in short, every family has given gifts, which is more intimate than Yang Zhao's gifts, and everyone has good things to say about him." ”

"How sweet?"

"Let me tell you this, even my aunt said that this chubby Fan Yang Jie makes him look good, if the concubine is unwilling to accept him as a godson, she can be his aunt......"

Xue Bai soon knew how intimate An Lushan's gift was.

When he returned home, he heard Liu Xiangjun say that the Yan family's wife invited him over, and when he arrived at the Yan family, he saw that Yan Gaoqing's family was also there, and Wei Yun and Cui's were looking at the three old ginseng trees on the case.

Wei Yun was a little uneasy, and without waiting for Xue Bai to salute, he hurriedly said: "Look at the gift given by An Dafu, I'm afraid it's too valuable." ”

"The thousand-year-old ginseng in Liaodong is a tribute, and the saint gave it to Andafu, and there are only these three in total." The steward of the Yan family said: "The person who came said that it was for Sanniang's treatment, put down the gift box and left." ”

"How did he know about Sanniang's condition?"

Everyone looked at Yan Gaoqing.

Yan Gaoqing shook his head and said: "The old man is just in Yingtian, Hebei, and he is not worthy of such a generous gift from An Dafu, he should have come for Xue Lang." ”

Wei Yun was worried, and said, "Send it back?" ”

Xue Bai picked up an old ginseng and sniffed it, and then thought of the situation in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and became more and more aware of An Lushan's powerful methods, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

After that, he smiled and said, "Shi Niang will accept it, you might as well." ”

If he doesn't accept it now, An Lushan will have to wonder why he is so vigilant, there is no need to confront him head-on, and keeping Wang Zhonghei is the right way.

~~

Right Prime Minister's House.

An Lushan happily sat in the banquet hall and drank, as if Li Linfu was feasting on him today.

"Hu Er went to Beijing this time, but he wanted to get rid of Pei Kuan and Wang Zhongsi with the right minister, and now the right minister should not be coaxed by his uncle."

"What's the hurry?"

Li Linfu also relaxed a lot in front of An Lushan, not as vigilant as when he talked to Xue Bai, leaned back, and several maids stepped forward and used their soft bodies as backrests for him.

"And what if you promise them, you can read the war report in the northwest? Wang Zhonghei was clearly able to capture Shibao City, but he was still looking forward and backward, but in fact, he secretly had the heart to spy on the situation. ”

An Lushan laughed and mocked: "His battle report, Hu Er can't stand it." ”

"No, you have to look, look at who made meritorious contributions in this battle, and who made meritorious contributions in the first battle to destroy the little Bolu Kingdom."

"Hu'er is too stupid, but I don't understand what Youxiang is talking about."

"In this matter, Xue Bai is not smart, so far he only knows how to envelop Wang Zhonghei, which is too rigid." Li Linfu's eyes flashed, and he twisted his beard and said: "But I don't know that the old man only needs to change the situation in the border town with a light stroke, and he can also push your beard up again." ”

"Oh?!"

An Lushan didn't know what powerful piece he was going to play, and when he heard this, he twisted his fat body, and said: "Hu'er is too heavy, if the right minister can push it, it must be a fairy." ”

Li Linfu was really amused by him, thinking back to his wonderful way of obeying the holy will, he was inevitably proud.

It seems that he really only blew a breath of fairy breath, and he held all the border towns in the world in his hands.

Sorry, I'm writing slowly today, and the second chapter is going to be late, so don't stay up late, read it tomorrow morning~~
