Fan Yang.

The weather is cold, the snow is cold, and a city stands in the wind and snow.

The knights, wrapped in thick sheep's coats, drove their horses out of the city gate and galloped south.

Inside the city, many people were busy preparing for their trip at the gate of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion, and in a large hall deep in the mansion, the fire was blazing and the smoke was filling.

An Lushan wore a Sogdian costume, a green robe with triangular lapels and trimmed cuffs, and sat upright on a high bed, like a mountain of meat.

In front of him were gold, silver, and jewels piled up into another mountain, which he had sent to trade and smuggle from various places. Every year when they came back to offer treasures, he would personally preside over the sacrifice.

The shamans beat drums and sang and danced, and the Zhuhu people bowed down in front of An Lushan and chanted "God of Light".

An Lushan was known as the "Yingzhou mongrel" in Chang'an, he was a mongrel Hu, and his biological father was a Sogdian surnamed Kang; A-Niang is a witch of the Turkic Ashina clan; His adoptive father's surname was Ann, so he also had the surname Ann.

But his original name was "Rolling Mountain", which means "light" in Sogdian, and he was the embodiment of the Zoroastrian god of light.

At this time, the generals who worshiped in front of him, Kang Jie, An Taiqing, An Shouzhong, An Wuchen, He Qianqian and others, were all fanatical henchmen who believed in Zoroastrianism and regarded him as the god of light.

"The God of Light will take us to wash away all the filth of the first half of our lives and build a new kingdom of light......

The Sogdian murmur continued until the flames consumed the offerings, and An Lushan stood up with the support of the believers and walked slowly out.

All the way to the front hall, there were already many staff and generals waiting there.

There was a Confucian official who stepped forward, this man was less than forty years old, with a thin appearance and deep eyes, and he was a Hebei scholar recruited by An Lushan, named Yan Zhuang.

"Dafu, are you leaving?"

"Let's go." An Lushan smiled and said: "There are villains in Chang'an who framed Hu'er for rebellion, and I got Chang'an to let the saint understand Hu'er's loyalty." ”

Before he set off, he had already started to perform, and he was looking forward to the trip to Chang'an.

No one in the hall laughed, only solemnity.

Li Zhu'er, the attendant who had been castrated, hurried into the cold wind outside, stood still by a tall horse, bent his legs slightly, lowered his head, and helped An Lushan get on the horse with his belly.

At this time, Gao Miao hurriedly came and said, "Dafu, Gao Shang and Ah Hao are back." ”

An Lushan grabbed the reins, squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and looked at the wind and snow in the distance.

Gao Shang was ordered to go south to deal with Xue Bai, and now Xue Bai has returned to Chang'an and framed him through Wang Welding, and Gao Shang has just returned to Fanyang? Or so coincidentally, arrived just as he was about to leave?

I'm afraid that I know that I have committed a big crime, so I will hide and wait and see the situation.

Thinking of this, An Lushan showed a surprised smile on his face, and exclaimed: "Ah Shang, Ah Hao are still alive?!" That's great! ”

He was so busy that he was about to turn over and dismount, causing the people around him to be in a hurry, and Li Zhu'er was even more pressed in the snow, and his femur was almost crushed, and the pain was terrible.

"Quick, I want to see them."

Soon, two people were led over by the sergeants, who should be noble and Tian Qianzhen.

An Lushan no longer recognized the noble man at all, and the handsome man in the past was now burned into an ugly monster like a ghost, which was shocking.

"Dafu, I'm ashamed ......"

"Ashan! Is that you? An Lushan grabbed the noble face full of scars, and shouted, "Who made you like this?" I'm going to kill him! ”

"Dafu be careful, I am now a wanted criminal in the imperial court, I hid my identity all the way, and finally rushed back to Fanyang, for fear that it would be too late to persuade Dafu." Gao Shang said: "This time to Chang'an, there are many dangers." ”

"I know."

"No, we underestimated Xue Bai, he is a ruthless man, he must have been ready to get rid of Dafu in Chang'an, and he has to guard against it."

An Lushan said: "I want to get rid of him and avenge you." ”

"The time has not come, so I have to endure it for the time being." Gao Shang said: "Please hand me over to the imperial court in exchange for the trust of the saint." ”

"No!"

Now that Gao Shang has returned, An Lushan has no reason to send him away again, and said, "Go to Xiongwu City and wait for me to come back with Xue Bai's head." ”

Hearing this arrangement, Gao Shang breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully knelt down for An Lushan.

An Lushan helped him up and said, "The God of Light has washed away the filth of your first half of life, and we will do great things in the future." ”

"Yes."

Gao Shang thought of his humble origins, and now he was reborn from the fire, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

An Lushan laughed, patted him and Tian Qianzhen, and turned over again with the help of the attendants.

"Sons, go back to Chang'an!"

~~

Chang'an, the imperial city.

The Imperial Historical Observatory was just south of the Secretary Province, and Xue Bai came over today to visit his former colleagues first.

Xiao Yingshi, Li Hua and others had already arrived at the government office and were doing things meticulously, Li Hua saw Xue Bai, wanted to talk and stopped, and what he talked about was still a major national event.

According to the officials, he was very willful, coming late every day, and when everyone else dispersed, he stayed behind to do things, and then drank with friends and criticized the current affairs.

Xue Bai read the newspaper in Chang'an City, and knew that Wang Changling had recently written a new poem, in which the sentence "I suddenly saw the willow color of the strange head, and the penitent husband was looking for the marquis", which seemed to be a little different from the attitude of "not breaking Loulan and never returning it" in the past.

Out of the secretary province, across the street is the Imperial Historical Tower.

The gate of the Yushitai faces north, there is quite a murderous atmosphere, there are three courtyards in it, the inspection courtyard, the palace courtyard, the Taiwan courtyard, the three courtyards are separated, and the errands are different. The Taiwan courtyard is in the middle and the inside, and the procuratorate and the palace are arranged on the left and right.

Xue Bai is supervising the imperial history and serving in the procuratorate, while his teacher Yan Zhenqing is the imperial historian in the palace and is in the palace.

Supervision of the imperial history is only on the eight grades, but the Tang people do not judge the level of official positions, the imperial history is one of the most noble official positions, the wind is in charge, is the eyes and ears of the saint, the so-called "imperial history is dedicated to the red pier, the martial dragon, the feather eagle", if there is a court, Yan Zhenqing, the palace of the imperial history is standing beside the saint.

There are two halls in the procuratorate, the metropolitan hall and the main hall, the metropolitan hall is the place where the imperial historians are supervised, and the main hall is the official office of the president of the procuratorate and the supervision envoy.

Xue Bai has been here several times, but in the past, he has come to fight lawsuits, and it is the first time he has been here to do anything, and when he arrived at the capital hall, he saw that more than ten supervisors had already stood on both sides, so he stood to the end.

After waiting for a while, the inspector Mao Ruoxu walked out and sat upright in his seat.

Mao Ruoxu is more than fifty years old, his hair is white, his eyebrows are very long, covering his eyes, he looks very serious, he didn't hurry to take out a name book, and he actually started to point Mao, which was the first time Xue Bai had seen it since he became an official in the Tang Dynasty.

"Xue Bai."

It wasn't until the name was sung that Mao Ruoxu raised his head.

Xue Bai then stepped out of the queue and saluted: "I have seen the supervision envoy." ”

Mao Ruoxu put down the name book in his hand and said lightly: "Inspector Xue is famous in Chang'an, and now he is serving in the Imperial History Observatory, I don't know if he will be arrogant and unruly?" ”

Normally, when an official asks such an inquiry as soon as he takes office, most people have to be humble.

Xue Bai didn't answer immediately, because he knew that this Mao Ruoxu was Li Linfu's person, and it was obviously ill-intentioned to ask this sentence, and it was estimated that he would be set up soon.

He then responded: "Naturally, you won't be arrogant, but you must be justified." ”

Mao Ruoxu remained silent, nodded slowly, and said: "Supervising the imperial history has the responsibility of patrolling the prefectures and counties, and someone in Yishi County, Puzhou, today reported that his county order was corrupt and bent the law, and Inspector Xue went to push the bow." ”

Xue Bai said: "I first arrived at Yushitai, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle such a big case." ”

"Inspector Xue has made remarkable achievements in Secretary Province, Yanshi County, and Chang'an County, and he has moved three times in two years, and the old man believes that you can do it."

"Inspector, Puzhou Road is far away and difficult to travel, I am weak and weak, can this case be handed over to others?"

This is Cui Youfu's answer when he was appointed to the ministry, Xue Bai didn't expect that he would be able to use it one day.

Mao Ruoxu froze slightly, his eyes fell, Xue Bai's posture was straight, and his spirit was vigorous, how could he look a little weak?

His face was pale, and he was about to open his mouth to shout, when a burst of laughter sounded outside the capital hall, and then Yang Guozhong, who was also the middle of the imperial history, walked in.

"The procuratorate is so lively today." Although Yang Guozhong is already a purple-robed minister, he still can't hide his rogue temperament, as if he is here to visit the door, "Hey, Ah Bai is also here, go, go to the Taiwan Courtyard, I have an errand to tell you." ”

"Zhongcheng." Mao Ruoxu got up and saluted: "Xiaguan Zheng has an important case to be handed over to Xue for supervision. ”

He is not only-for-tat, but he is not afraid of Yang Guozhong at all.

Yushitai has been under the control of Wang Jiao all these years, but in fact, he is excluding dissidents for Li Linfu, and in the eyes of Mao Ruoxu, Wang Jiao and Yang Guozhong are traitors to the right phase.

"You and I have cases to solve." Yang Guozhong said, "Is that your official university, or my official university." ”

"Inspector Xue is directly under the lower officials, and Zhongcheng bypassed the lower officials to explain his errands, but I am afraid that it will be inappropriate."

"You impeach me."

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly, lifted the jade belt around his waist, and beckoned Xue Bai to leave, so that he would not stay and quarrel with Mao Ruoxu, no matter what the result of the quarrel was, he would be the one who suffered.

Out of the capital hall, he spat on the ground and said, "Old man who eats dog intestines." ”

Xue Bai asked, "You can't control the Yushitai?" ”

"I was promoted too quickly." Yang Guozhong said, "The time since I took office as the Imperial History Observatory is still short, and the chief officials of the three courts are not my people for the time being. ”

He was not ashamed of this, but put on a very righteous attitude, took Xue Bai's shoulder, and said, "But don't worry, as long as I am here, no one can send you to Chang'an." ”

"Gone."

"Where are you going?"

"Find my teacher."

Yang Guozhong's concurrently serving as the middle of the imperial history is not long, but in fact, it is not short, he has not been able to establish prestige, in the final analysis, his ability is not good, except for recruitment, there is nothing else.

How did the prestige come about?

In the long run, after all, it depends on the actual performance.

Yan Zhenqing served as the superintendent of the imperial history for only one year, and sent envoys to Hexi and Longyou to redress a large number of unjust prisoners. At that time, there was a drought in Wuyuan, and the officials were negligent in government affairs, and when Yan Zhenqing clarified the backlog of cases in the county, it rained heavily, and the people of Wuyuan called it "Yushi Rain", and there was naturally no such thing as a god in the world, it was nothing more than that the people were grateful to him and were willing to give him a good name.

When he arrived in Shuofang County, he found that the three brothers of Zheng Yanzuo, the county commander, passed the buck to each other after their mother's death, refused to hold a funeral, and placed the coffin in the monk's house for 29 years. Then he was impeached by the imperial court and cut off the career of the Zheng brothers. This case is nothing, but there are many officials in Datang who refuse to keep filial piety and secretly conceal their parents' funerals in order to protect their future, for example, the case of Da Xifu concealing his mother's funeral was finally confused by Da Xifu's reason for offering relics.

How much ability an official has, others look at it, and they know it in their hearts, and many times they don't say it. Yan Zhenqing returned to Chang'an, and Yushitai naturally had like-minded officials approaching him.

If you really want to do something, Xue Bai is actually much more useful to find a teacher than to find Yang Guozhong, the middle of the imperial history.

Coming out of the procuratorate and turning to the palace hall, I saw several officials in green robes talking and walking out, and it was Yan Zhenqing who was surrounded by them.

"Teacher." Xue Bai stepped forward and called.

"Don't call the teacher." Yan Zhenqing waved his hand and said: "In the Imperial History Terrace, you and I only get along with colleagues. ”

Another imperial historian beside him quipped: "Don't call the teacher, call the 'father-in-law'." ”

Xue Bai was said like this, and he was a little unaware.

Yan Zhenqing was much more frank and said, "Discuss official affairs, don't talk about family affairs." ”

After that, he beckoned Xue Bai to join them, and muttered, "After the New Year, it's time to give you a word." ”

"Thank you, teacher."

Xue Bai saw that the teacher had something to discuss with these palace attendants, so he was not in a hurry to talk about his own affairs, and followed them.

The group walked out of the Imperial Observatory, but they went to the west of the magistrate's court to find a council hall and sit down.

"I'm not afraid that Luo Xixiao will send someone to eavesdrop here, Yan Yushi can say it?"

"Okay."

Yan Zhenqing groaned slightly, and said: "When we returned from Longyou, I noticed that Li Yanye, the general of Jinwu, had a private banquet for the Tubo people, and in order to avoid the investigation of Jingzhao Mansion and various squares, he picked up and dropped off the other party with the palace halo book ceremony. ”

"Is there any evidence for Yan Yushi?"

"Not yet, but I'm sure it's true."

"Li Yanye is a close servant of the Son of Heaven, trusted by the saints, and has a lot to do with the right minister, we must think about this matter clearly."

"I can't wait." Yan Zhenqing said, "Li Yanye is the general of Jinwu, and he is in charge of the Beijing Division, this matter cannot be ignored, in case it changes later." ”

Xue Bai looked at it and saw that some of these people were hesitant and some were resolute, so he spoke first: "I will be impeached with the teacher." ”

"Okay."

"Why am I afraid of impeaching Li Yanye together?!"

They were happy, and after they agreed, they signed their names and went back to write their own memoirs.

When everyone retreated, Yan Zhenqing twisted his beard and thought about this case, his eyes were slightly worried, and he quickly calmed down.

He turned his head to look at Xue Bai and said, "I came to look for it on the first day of taking office, is there something difficult?" ”

"It's not difficult, but I do want to ask the teacher for help."

Xue Bai took out a list from his sleeve and said, "This is the list of people who want to be recommended by Brother Nu to fill the positions of Wang Jie, Wang Weld and others. Presumably some of them can be impeached. ”

Yan Zhenqing took it and looked at it, and said, "Not only that, but also a lot." For example, they want to recommend Song Hun as a water and land transport envoy. ”

Xue Bai said: "Song Hun is the son of a famous minister. ”

This is talking about Prime Minister Song Jing, and Song Hun is Song Jing's fourth son.

"Not bad." Yan Zhenqing frowned slightly, and said: "I am a family friend with the Song family, the Song family is the only one who is not good, drinking and frolicking, and is fond of prostitutes. It was only sent once a few months ago. ”

Xue Bai said: "I have a letter here, or can it be used as evidence?" ”

"Where?"

"Another unscrupulous one."

"It's just enough to catch my brother off guard."

The master and apprentice glanced at each other and quickly had a tacit understanding.

Although impeachment is not a very powerful method, as long as the impeachment is accurate and ruthless, it will make Li Linfu tired of dealing with it, and it will also be a huge blow to the prestige of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

~~

The tenth day of November, the winter solstice.

This year's winter seems to be a little colder than last year, but the sage also can't get the mound in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City to worship the sky, which is a custom set up by Tang Gaozu.

After the sacrifice to the heavens, it is to give a banquet to the ministers, which is Li Longji's favorite thing in the past, but this year may be the death of Wang Ji that makes him not very able to squander, or occasionally unwell, this banquet is not too grand, and each courtier who goes to the banquet is rewarded with a few pairs of leather boots and cotton socks.

After the royal feast, there are three days of rest.

The Right Prime Minister's Mansion was preparing for a family banquet early on, and the family of hundreds of people was very lively.

Li Xiu saw that everything had been arranged, so he sent someone to invite Li Linfu to the table.

After finishing all this, Li Shiniang rushed over to grab him, and said with a smile: "This year is different, but it is run by my brother." ”

"Don't talk about it, just help me."

"I'm not enough to help my brother? By the way, my brother-in-law can handle the relocation of his official position? ”

Li Xiu was still smirking at others a moment ago, and when he heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Yang Qixuan robbed the people's daughters and put them away, and he was impeached, have you heard?" ”

"What?"

Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, and seeing that Li Shiniang hadn't heard about it, she raised her hand to show that she didn't want to talk to her, and turned around and walked away.

On the surface, he is still learning to support this family, but he is a little faintly uneasy in his heart.

Turning his head to look, he saw his wife coming from the corridor, and after that, his thirteenth brother Li Wei walked over, called "sister-in-law", and whispered a few words.

"I heard that my sister-in-law wants my brother to move to the official ......"

Li Xiu in the back couldn't hear clearly, so he simply strode over, and when he arrived, Li Wei had already walked away, so he grabbed his wife's wrist and asked, "What did Thirteen say to you?" ”

"Mocking you, you can't even get an official position."

Lu Shi's voice was very soft, and he still had a decent smile on his face, so he went to the woman's side and deliberately sat down next to Li Tengkong.

Li Tengkong obviously didn't like this kind of occasion, and he looked out of place among the sisters and sisters-in-law.

After a while, Li Linfu finally came over, and more than 100 descendants in Chang'an got up one after another, or called "Grandpa" or "Ah Weng".

"Sit."

Li Linfu beckoned to a cane and said, "The winter solstice is a festival, but fortunately it is not the Shangyuan Festival, and some things are in time...... Juro. ”

"The child is here."

"You handed over the list of supplements that your father asked you to make?"

"Not yet." Li Xiu said, "The child thinks, first deter Chen Xilie." ”

Everyone in the Li family was puzzled, and they didn't understand why Li Linfu wanted to talk about these official duties in public.

"In other words, the list of supplementary ques has not been taken out of the right prime minister's mansion?"

"Yes."

"Who's leaking that?"

Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, raised her head to look at Grandpa, and felt extremely dazed.

Cang Bi held a stack of folds, handed it to him, and whispered: "Shilang can see it himself, I'm afraid it's ......"

Li Xiu took it, spread it out and only looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but shake her pupils, and she was surprised.

The recitals are all officials who have been impeached by the imperial history, and without exception, they are all recommended by him to make up for the que.

"This ......"

"Waste." Li Linfu said, "When does the old man want to see when you make a fool of yourself?" ”

Li Xiu was ashamed and annoyed, turned his head to look at the bustling crowd in this mansion, and said, "Grandpa, someone is reporting the news." ”

"Who?!"

With a scolding, almost everyone turned their heads and looked at the same person.

Seeing that the whole family was looking at him, Li Tengkong simply stood up and looked at Li Linfu.

"Seventeen Niang, did you do it?"

"It's not."

"You saw Xue Bai a few days ago, and he followed you all the way to the gate of the mansion."

Li Tengkong was a little frightened by Grandpa's fierce gaze, but he still shook his head and said, "I haven't spoken to him much." ”

Kyauknu said: "Ah Lang ......"

"Shut up, bitch."

Li Linfu snorted, looked at Li Tengkong deeply, and said warmly: "Sit down." ”

"Grandpa?" Li Shiniang was a little dissatisfied: "You believe her words?" ”

"Is that you?"

"Of course not."

Li Linfu's face was grim, staring at Li Xiu's wife Lu Shi, walking a few steps closer, and said, "That's you?" ”

Lu Shi was frightened, and immediately took the two younger sons beside him, almost knelt on the ground, and said, "Ah...... Grandpa, no...... It's not me ......."

"You know to call me 'Grandpa' now?"

"I ...... I ......"

Li Linfu said: "Shilang, what do you think? ”

In an instant, Li Xiu's face turned pale and his back was cold.

Everywhere he looked, his two young sons were already crying silently in fright, and his wife's hands were trembling, and she was still holding her son's thin wrists tightly.

"Juro, who do you think leaked the news?"

Li Xiu didn't know what to do, he had no way to break off with his wife and children under the gaze of the whole family, because he couldn't face the days of losing face after that.

But Li Linfu seems to want to deliberately peel off his face, and become the prime minister of the rope cockfight, the meat waist knife, and the roe deer...... It seems that being able to endure the ridicule of the world is the real strength.

Li Xiu couldn't do it.

He sniffed, feeling that he couldn't support the Li family's door.

"Grandpa, I don't ...... I can't do ......."

"Take it down."

Li Linfu gave an order, and the two maids stepped forward and asked the Lu family to go with them for questioning.

Lu Shi was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he dragged his two children and refused to let go, crying loudly for a while.

"Auntie!"

"Aong...... Don't let them pull my aunt ......"

"That's enough." On the contrary, Li Tengkong couldn't stand it, and said: "It's me who leaked the news!" ”

"It's her! Did you hear it all? Let go of my child, it was she who leaked, let go! ”

Li Linfu still didn't let people stop, he glanced at these children with cold eyes, and really didn't understand why he couldn't even pick out one outstanding one of the fifty children in his life.

Is it really because he chose to dominate the world for 20 years and exhausted all the blessings?

The next moment, a servant came and whispered a message.

"Ah Lang, I found ......"

Li Linfu listened, didn't say anything, and walked among the children.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, even the Lu family forgot to cry, turned his head, and saw Li Linfu personally raise the cane and slam it on the face of the thirteenth son, Li Wei.

Li Wei was caught off guard, and was directly smashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and three teeth fell to the ground.

"Rebel!"

"Grandpa, I'm ...... Wronged! ”

"You met with Xue Bai, and they were all seen, and you still dare to quibble?!"

"I didn't." Li Wei was completely panicked, "I just want to help Grandpa recruit Xue Bai as the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion and promote his marriage with Seventeen." ”

Before the words were finished, Li Linfu smashed down with another cane.

There was a "snap" sound, and the crutch broke in two.

"Drag it down and shut it up, let's have a feast."

Everyone was stunned again.

Li Linfu threw away the half-cut crutch in his hand, regained his composure, and said lightly: "Winter Solstice Festival, don't let an unscrupulous son spoil the family's Yaxing." ”

His anger subsided slightly, and he remembered that he still had to maintain the majesty of the ruler......

~~

At night, Li Xiu walked through the west courtyard and walked all the way to the private prison of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Grandpa asked me to interrogate Thirteen Lang."

"Whoa."

The cell door creaked open, and Li Xiu entered with a bowl of wontons, and walked to put the bowl in front of Li Wei.

"Winter solstice, eat a bowl of ravioli."

"Is there any wine?" Li Wei's voice was muffled.

Li Xiu touched it from his arms, took out a small pot of wine, threw it over, and said, "It's all for you." ”

"Don't spread the word about today's events, I'm an official anyway."

"How dare you?"

Li Wei said: "You didn't teach me yet?" ”

"Me?"

"You said a long time ago that Grandpa has offended so many people, what will we do in the future. Now that Wang Ji is dead, I think that day is not far away...... Grandpa is old, I have to plan for myself. ”

"So you took refuge in Xue Bai?"

"It's just cooperation, don't be ashamed." Li Wei said, "How old is he?" can get to this position, grandpa still wants to marry him seventeen, he still has the support of the concubine, in short, it is not simple, I bet on him, I can't be wrong. ”

"That's it?"

"Not enough?"

Li Xiu said: "You are Grandpa's son!" ”

"Just because I am Grandpa's son, when Grandpa can't protect me, you see how the world treats me!" Li Wei threw away the wonton bowl in his hand and shouted: "I'm scared in my dreams, I'm almost forty years old, and I also have a wife and children." ”

"This is not a reason for you to betray the family, grandpa's protégé is all over the world, and I support ......"

"The protégé is old? A little bit of brain has been killed by Grandpa, brother, you are a waste, admit it, you can't do it. Don't stop me, I just want to get an official position with the Yang Party. ”

Li Xiu was furious, pointed at Li Wei and scolded: "Soft bones with no ambition, betraying your family, you will make people poke your backbone for the rest of your life!" ”

With his hand stretched, he snatched the small pot of wine from Li Wei's hand, turned out of the private prison, raised his head, and drank the rest of the wine.

There was a "bang", and the flask was smashed to the ground.

~~

"It is long to the beginning of the day, and the three winters are in the middle. The festive season is due, and we can talk about it. There is no treasure, just wait for Xue Lang. Empty wine ravioli, fortunate to visit and, respectfully. ”

The handwriting on an invitation was elegant, Xue Bai took it and read it, thought about it for a long time, and finally got up and went out.

He walked through the long snowy street, walked to Kwong Fook Fong, and knocked on the knocker in front of a small mansion.

After a while, the door opened, and Li Mi opened the door.

"Since you're here, aren't you afraid that the saint will suspect you of constructing the East Palace?"

"I'm afraid, but I've got the next step."

"I heard that you prevented the Right Prime Minister's Mansion from recommending officials to fill the gap."

"Yes, the Li family has no confidence." Xue Bai said, "Divide the spoils, I have drawn up a list, all of them are young capable ministers." Over the years, the old thieves have controlled the court, and it is the turn of the young people to come forward. ”

"The Li family has no confidence in the future, but now Li Linfu is still there." Li Mi took the list and looked at it, frowned, and said, "We don't have much time, we have to get these down before An Lushan arrives." ”

"I don't have a big appetite."

"Then I'll have to talk to someone." Li Mi smiled and led Xue Bai inside.

He didn't lie, it really only had wine and ravioli.

"By the way, there's good news." Li Mi handed over the chopsticks and said, "Zhang Yan is tempted." ”

"He's very well-informed."

Xue Bai was not surprised at all, after all, he put the right minister's mansion together.

The world's confidence in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is crumbling little by little......
