Yujia went all the way to the east, crossed the Baqiao, and continued to walk slowly eastward along the official road at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

At the end of the procession, a group of gentlemen were a little tired and silent, and a few of them had returned to the carriage.

Xue Bai rode his horse in the middle, and as far as his eyes could see, the official road was straight, wide and flat, and the carriage must not be too bumpy.

It's just that I don't know how much labor was spent on building such a road, and whether it was more levyed.

Gradually, the setting sun fell behind him, stretching his shadow forward very long, and Huaqing Palace was already not far ahead.

From Chang'an to Huaqing Palace, the distance is actually not far, the fast horse does not need half a day to arrive, but the team is too many, the march is slow, before arriving, the red sun hanging in the western sky still falls into the distant mountains, the sky is dark.

The Praetorian guards lit torches and formed a long dragon of fire.

After walking a short distance, Xue Bai looked up and saw that the mountainside on the right hand side was brightly lit, extremely gorgeous, like starlight.

Huaqing Palace leans on the mountain of Lishan and builds, the scale is grand, the buildings and halls are all over the Lishan Mountain, at this time, in order to welcome the saint, the lights of the whole palace are lit, as if the whole Lishan is shining.

Someone in the line exclaimed.

Xue Bai was not too surprised, he had been here before, and at this time he was only a little surprised that the simple candlelight could be even more brilliant now.

At this time, the imperial driver had already entered the Huaqing Palace, and Xue Bai had just crossed the Wangxian Bridge.

Now that the Huaqing Palace has been expanded, the Ten Princes' Mansions have been added, and then a city gate has passed, and many princes and princesses who have accompanied the two guards continue to walk forward. Xue Bai followed the officials to their residences.

After arranging for the musicians of the Taile Department to stay, he went back to his temporary residence, which was not big or not, clean and tidy, and looked good.

"Tuk-tuk." There was a knock on the door quickly.

Xue Bai also thought that Yang Yuyao had sent someone to invite him, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Xie Aman standing outside the door.

"Thank you."

"Concubine Guifei asked me to come and see if Xue Lang is used to living." Xie Aman turned his back and entered the number house, looked around, and asked, "Why didn't Xue Lang bring a servant?"

"It's okay, I can take care of myself, it's important to contribute to the country."

"Contribute to the country?" Xie Aman muttered in his heart: "I'm afraid it's for Mrs. Qiu." ”

She glanced around and asked, "Where's the script?" Haven't written yet? ”

Although Xue Bai has been hiding from Yuzhenguan's Er Li recently, he will not forget the gift he wants to offer to the concubine when he is seeking an official, but he is still in Qinglan's luggage.

I don't know when the concubine will ask for the script? ”

"The sooner you are, the better.

How about handing it over to Xie Dian tomorrow?

Xie Aman glanced around and said, "You don't have it tonight, can you conjure it up tomorrow?" ”

"Well, I'll have to look for my luggage."

Seeing that there was clearly only a small burden in the house, Xie Aman said: "I can tell you, the concubine wants to summon you, and she will let me lead you into the palace." Don't run around, no matter how much you provoke criticism, the concubine won't be able to protect you. ”

"Also, don't go over there." Xie Aman warned again: "I may come to you at any time. ”

What she said was that Mrs. Qiu Guo should not go there, and Yang Yuhuan forbade him to go. ”

Yu Guozhuang is in the west of Huaqing Palace, which is relatively large compared to the different industries of the kings.

The hall was brightly lit, and Yang Yuyao was tired of the road after a day today, so she wanted to rest early, but she had to wait until Xue Bai came over.

"But I'm afraid that the maid sent to find you will get lost."

"Rumors spread in the near past, we are on the cusp of the storm, and the concubine reminded me to be careful, so I waited for the envoy to leave before I came."

"I'm not afraid." Yang Yuyao said: "You and I are sister and brother, what's wrong with getting closer?" ”

Xue Bai said helplessly: "This is not an almighty excuse after all.

Yang Yuyao hugged him and said, "I'm also tired, I won't do anything else tonight, just take a soup bath, who can say that our bad brother is friendly?" Walk. ”

Hearing her say this, Qinglan on the side couldn't help but hug the burden in her hand tighter.

Lishan Hot Springs can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and according to legend, Qin Shi Huang discovered that the hot spring water helped the wounded to recuperate, and gave the soldiers hot spring soup when they destroyed the Six Kingdoms, in short, the hot spring water is good.

Of course, the really good hot spring water must be in Huaqing Palace.

Yang Yuyao's other business is to dig a spring, and I don't know how the water quality is for the time being, but it is nothing more than an artistic conception.

"Slippery?"

"It's slippery."

Yang Yuyao smiled proudly, and was helped by Xue Bai to sit down in the jade pool, so as not to slip, Qinglan wanted to help her, but did not dare to touch her.

Mingzhu untied Yang Yuyao's hair bun and sprinkled the green silk on her head to clean.

"Mingzhu, you come down too."

"Yes."

The profane garment was soaked, and although it was not undone, it was no different from unraveling.

Xue Bai neither looked at it, nor did he deliberately dodge his gaze, this calmness and composure could not be obtained unless he was a person with rich experience.

When Yang Yuyao saw him like this, she couldn't help but admire him in her heart.

Qinglan was embarrassed, obviously shocked.

Yang Yuyao is still very gentle and patient with this little beauty, for fear of scaring her, she didn't make more moves, and when she got out of the bath, she said softly: "After a day's journey today, you are also tired, there are few houses in the manor here, you go and sleep with Nian Nu."

"Yes, then I'll go first.....

Yang Yuyao looked at her back as she ran away, smiled at Xue Bai, and said, "Don't worry, take your time." ”

Xue Bai knew what she meant, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I'll do it."

He took the handkerchief from Mingzhu's hand and wiped Yang Yuyao's hair.

This kind of little warmth made her very happy, and said with a smile: "You are going to seek an official again, so that you can treat me so considerately."

I didn't say that.

"Yuhuan forbade you to come, but you came, I am very satisfied, I should give you some sweetness to taste."

"There's no shortage of them now?

"Go, who told you this." Yang Yuyao said angrily, "I inquired about the matter of the county lieutenant of Zhaoying, do you know who the current lieutenant of Zhaoying is?" ”

"I know?"

"Even if you don't know someone who can be a lieutenant like this, you must have heard of his family history...... The current Zhao Yingwei is the son of Da Xixun, Da Xifu. ”

Xue Bai said: "The son of the servant of the ministry, the family is extraordinary." ”

"Da Xixun won't say it, his wife is the Shanggu Kou clan, and she has been guarding the county for generations. Although it is not among the five surnames and seven hopes, it is true that the high-ranking family is big. Yang Yuyao said: "But it's easy to seek this official position, just let Da Xifu be promoted." ”

Xue Bai groaned, "Who told you this idea?" ”

"Am I stupid? Usually I'm just too lazy to use my brain. Yang Yuyao crooked into Xue Bai's arms and said lazily: "How can I think of such a simple way." ”

Where did you move Da Xifu?

"Isn't there a shortage of newspapers? He has higher qualifications than you, and he can find a seventh-rank official. ”

Xue Bai asked, "This is also what Yu Yao came up with?" ”

"No, someone said it when I inquired on someone's behalf." Yang Yuyao asked, "Mingzhu, who came up with the idea at that time?" ”

"Hui Yaoniang, it was Yang Zhongcheng who said it."

"Yes, when I asked my brother, my cousin was there."

Xue Bai said: "It seems that the brother has guessed that I want to seek Zhao Yingwei." ”

"Will he give it to you?"

"I haven't seen his sincerity yet." Xue Bai said: "I only met Chen Xilie before leaving, and asked me if I would like to go to Tai."

Original. It can be seen that they prefer me to stay away, and it is best to get out of the customs. ”

Yang Yuyao said annoyedly: "Does this have to be the opposite of my thoughts?" ”

"High-ranking officials and ministers are like this, I hope everything is controlled by them." Xue Bai said: "So I have to insist on Chang Anwei until the last moment, otherwise my brother will think that he was forced by me." ”

"So what do we do?"

"Don't worry, let them mention it first."

Xue Bai had already inquired with Li Zhen, Zhang We and others, and now although the positions of several ministers have been assigned to the clan, the official positions of the Dibao Yuan are still completely empty.

Li Longji was fortunate that the Qing Palace had not dealt with this matter before, and Yang Chen, Xue Bai and others all came with him, and it took time to persuade the sage to set all the official positions of the Newspaper Academy.

"Brother Nu will definitely be in a hurry before us, and wait for him to propose that I be the captain of Zhaoying first. We put forward two more harsh conditions, and he will willingly give me the official position, and feel that the situation is still controllable...."

"Don't rush, take your time."

The saint was not in Chang'an, and all the government was handed over to Li Linfu.

Early the next morning, Chen Xilie hurried to the right minister's mansion.

"Why didn't you see me yesterday? Yang Dang reached out to the secretary of the province. ”

"Because they can't stretch out their hands, there is no need for them to see you."

Li Linfu said, glancing at it with a cold gaze, and unexpectedly found that Chen Xilie, who had just lost a part-time job, had a ruddy face, presumably he still slept well last night.

"But the secretary province has been suppressed." Chen Xilie said: "Wei Shu is very estranged from the right minister, and he will be my secretary". Li Linfu said: "Separately, Hongwen Museum, Newspaper Academy, Secretary Province only has the right to repair books, you and I are the supervisors, and the credit will not be less." ”

Chen Xilie has yet to say more.

Li Linfu criticized his head and covered his face and said: "Instead of making noise here, think about what you have done to make the saint unhappy!" ”

"What did I do?"

Chen Xilie knew that he hadn't done anything, except for releasing rumors about Xue Bai recently.

He rolled his eyes and exclaimed, "Doesn't the saint think that I did the "Tianbao Shiwen"?!" They copied me"

"That's enough, go back."

Li Linfu is very busy.

He manages state affairs on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but his power is not as great as that of the Son of Heaven, and he has to consider more, which is already hard, and the repair, opening of museums, and publishing newspapers because of Xue Bai are additional government affairs, but it is impossible to let him open his mind and not want to control it.

Therefore, when he was busy, Li Linfu still took time to summon Da Xixun and explained a few words. After all, Chen Xilie lost his position as secretary and young eunuch, and he didn't care much about Xue Bai.

"Chen Xilie has smashed it, you can do it. Two points, the right to publish and report cannot be lost, and Xue Bai cannot stay in Chang'an. ”

"Whoa."

Da Xixun understood as soon as he heard it.

The right side is afraid of Xue Bai, and Xue Bai has a saint and Concubine Yang in Chang'an, which is not easy to deal with, and it is best to be able to support it;

But Xue Bai needs to hand over the right to publish the newspaper...... Well, the best thing to do is to coax.

First said that it would be good to give Xue Bai an official position, and then whether to give it or not, is it still in the hands of the officials? As long as you don't alarm the saints.

Out of the right minister's mansion, Da Xixun immediately went back and wrote a long letter, and sent someone to send it to his third son Da Xifu quickly.

The fast horse galloped out of Chang'an, galloped all the way to the east, and arrived at Zhaoying County before noon.

Zhaoying county town and Huaqing Palace are connected, and the city is very lively on this day.

It must be known that when the saint goes to the Huaqing Palace every year, he often stays for several months and does not return to Chang'an, sometimes for half a year.

During this period, Lishan, Huaqing Palace, and Zhaoying City formed a small Chang'an-like existence.

In addition to the accompanying royal relatives and worshippers, there are also some civil and military officials who will also come over and live in Zhaoying City. many

Officials also have a house in the middle of Zhaoying City.

It is "thousands of officials from the north of Lishan, and all countries come to the east of Weishui".

Therefore, the position of Zhaoying County Lieutenant is the best springboard for the promotion of officials who have just entered the ranks.

Da Xi Fu has been in the office for five years, the right guard of the door shade Cang Cao has joined the army for three years, and he has been awarded Zhao Ying Lieutenant for two years, and he has also shared a little of the credit for the expansion of the Huaqing Palace.

On this day, he was receiving officials and nobles from Chang'an, and suddenly received a letter from his grandfather, and he hurriedly opened it to take a look, and his eyes lit up.

The content of the letter was also simple, Da Xixun asked him to make friends with Xue Bai, and asked Xue Bai to recommend the officials of the newspaper institute to the sage according to the list given by the right minister.

Then, Da Xifu promised to leave the county lieutenant of Zhaoying to Xue Bai.

And the list on the right is for him, and he is the editor-in-chief of the Journals Academy under the seven grades.

"Where do the officials and musicians live?"

"In the official residence south of Wangxian Bridge, it belongs to the jurisdiction of Huaqing Palace."

"It doesn't matter." Da Xi Fu said: "I have admired Xue Lang's name for a long time, and I want to meet him in poetry, so I should visit one or two." ”

Xue Baimeimei slept for a while, got up in the afternoon, and enjoyed the joy of the boudoir with Yang Yuyao, like a fairy couple.

"You can stay in peace, Yuhuan has just arrived in Huaqing Palace, and he will definitely not summon you over today." Yang Yuyao said: "If someone in the palace goes to the official residence to summon you, you can go over again, it's too late." ”

Before the words were finished, a servant girl came to say: "Someone went to the official residence to find Xue Lang, claiming to be Zhaoying Weida Xifu." ”

"Huh? And here it is?"

"Anyway, Gonu is in a hurry than me."

Xue Bai then planned to go over, but he didn't forget to go to Qinglan to get the script.

This is one of the things he has to do when he goes to Huaqing Palace.

Qinglan and Niannu are talking, talking about dancing. When Xue Bai entered the house, Qing Lan was turning around, provoking Niannu to clapped her hands and praise, saying that she had never seen such a graceful dance.

"Xue Lang, are you going to rehearse again? Is there a place for slaves? ”

"Yes." Xue Bai said: "If others ask, they will say that I came to Qiuguozhuang, but I actually came to discuss opera with you. ”

"Xue Lang rest assured, the slave family will definitely do it." Niannu bowed happily and asked, "Then when will we start discussing?" ”

"Wait for me to change the script and have someone copy it for you."

"Great."

Da Xifu waited in the official residence for a while, and when he saw Xue Bai pacing, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute enthusiastically.

The two exchanged pleasantries and immediately became confidants.

"Where did Xue Lang come from?"

"When I first arrived in Lishan, I went for a walk in the morning, and the mountains are beautiful."

"yes." Da Xifu said: "I should be Xue Lang's guide and take you to see the scenery of Zhaoying County." ”

"So, I can't ask for it."

The two then agreed to visit together and learn about the customs and customs of the neighborhood.

Da Xi got Grandpa's orders and knew that the most important thing in this matter was to win Xue Bai's trust, so he was not in a hurry to propose that he intended to give up the position of Zhao Yingwei, but showed that he admired Xue Bai very much.

After talking about it, a woman outside suddenly shouted in a beautiful voice: "Taile Cheng, are you up?" ”

Da Xifu hurriedly got up and said goodbye. ”

"Then I won't bother."

"I'll deliver it to Brother Xi."

"No, not really." Da Xifu waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't work for Xue Lang to send him off, you still have guests, don't pay attention to me." ”

Xue Bai also wants to send it off.

Da Xifu had already exited the house, only to see a woman in a Lan robe hiding on the side of the corridor.

His eyes were vicious, and he quickly glanced at the card on the other party's waist, knowing that she was a female official in the inner court.

When he walked away, Xue Bai's voice sounded behind him.

"Come in and talk about it."

"You still have friends in Lishan ......."

Da Xifu walked through the corridor, looked back, and saw that there was no one around, and Xue Bai and this woman were alone.

His mind moved, and he was keenly aware of some cats, so he turned back as if he had lost something, and quietly went to the bottom of Xue Bai's house to see what they were doing.

In the room, the woman was surprised and asked, "Did you really conjure up a script?" But running around? ”

"I still have to revise it again, but don't worry, it won't affect the progress of the rehearsal."

Xue Bai paused when he said this, and then said, "You also know that my future is here. ”

The envoy was silent.

Xue Bai said again: "If this play can be arranged to satisfy the concubine, you must help me ask for an editor-in-chief of the Seven-Rank Newspaper Academy."

"Will the saint agree?"

"It stands to reason that you must have local qualifications for promotion, but the Newspaper Academy is an exception. In fact, I was the lieutenant of Chi County and the lieutenant of Qi County, all of which were fake, in order to let the high-ranking officials of the DPRK and the central government suppress me, to displease the saints, and then let me continue to stay in the newspaper institute. ”

"I ...... Help you beg the concubine? ”

"Well, this play is my real confidence."

After Xue Bai finished speaking, the room was quiet for a while.

Da Xifu was a little puzzled, didn't understand what they were doing, and felt that there was some alienation between them.

Then the envoy was heard, "What about ...... I helped you, what can you give me? ”

"What do you want?

"Don't you understand what I want?"
