The seventh day of the first month.

Imperial City, Secretary Province.

The door of a public house was pushed open, and Chen Xilie and Xue Bai, who were in it, turned their heads to look, only to see Zhang Yan coming.

"What about Yang Guozhong?"

Zhang Yan frowned slightly, and felt a little unhappy when he saw that someone had come later than him.

Xue Bai said: "Shangyuan is coming, presumably he is spending his time preparing gifts for the saint." ”

"Sure enough, it's a spittle." Zhang Yan smiled slightly, looking down on Yang Guozhong in his heart.

These two people, one is a famous queen, a romantic and handsome, and he was selected as a colt at a young age; One is the scum of the family, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and seeking to get promoted by meeting with each other. From the root, they repel each other, and it's strange to be able to see each other's eyes.

"Let's talk about it first." Xue Bai said, "Don't wait for him." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yan teased and said with a smile: "We have only found a few official positions, and my brother and slave have begun to fight back." ”

Chen Xilie was worried, glanced at the door of the house again, and thought, the reason why Yang Guozhong didn't come was because the situation had changed? In the current situation, it may be better to spend more effort to please the saint on the Shangyuan Festival.

This Zuo Xiang thought about this in his heart, and Xue Bai had already told Zhang Yan about his judgment of the situation.

"Well, I've heard Changyuan say that." Zhang Yan muttered: "I will find an opportunity to tell the saint about this matter, but there should be evidence." ”

"This is a military event, rather than slowly looking for evidence from a few imperial histories, it is better for the sage to issue an order to investigate."

If Zhang Yan wants to be the prime minister, he should let the sage know that he is talented in government affairs, and he will not let go of this opportunity, but how to do it must be thought out well, so as not to be self-defeating.

In addition, prophesying to the sage that the union of Tubo and Nanzhao was equivalent to helping Yan Zhenqing, but he didn't wait for Xue Bai to ask him.

"I heard that Miao Jinqing plans to demote Yan Zhenqing as the governor of Hezhou." Zhang Yan asked, "Zuo Xiang, is there such a thing?" ”

With this question, he was not only putting pressure on Xue Bai, but also beating Chen Xilie.

Chen Xilie didn't expect Zhang Yan to know the clerk's correspondence in such detail, so he was slightly flustered and said, "Yes, old man...... Temporarily depressed. ”

"Then the left minister has to be suppressed." Zhang Yan was vaguely sneering, and glanced at Xue Bai.

The meaning in his eyes was obvious, Chen Xilie was an unreliable soft bone, Li Linfu had just begun to degrade an official, and Chen Xilie was already a little unbearable.

While speaking, there was movement outside, and after that, Yang Guozhong pushed the door in.

"I'm busy with official business, I'm late, so bear with me."

"You're busier than Prime Minister Zuo?" Zhang Yan asked in a joking tone, and laughed at the two at the same time.

Yang Guozhong didn't fight back, and he smiled.

This reaction surprised Xue Bai a little, Yang Guozhong has always been flattering and bullying, and Zhang Yan's status is clear and unwanted, not to the point where he can be soft.

"Where did Brother go?"

"Shangyuan Festival, I made some preparations."

“……”

On that day, the four of them met like this and made a plan for the next step.

They would advise the sage and raise suspicions about Nanzhao's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty and his annexation to Tibet, while Chen Xilie was responsible for stabilizing the situation of the Zhongshu sect and the officials.

Once the Jinwu general Li Yanye is taken down and the evidence is examined, Li Linfu's prestige will inevitably plummet, and one will lose the other, and their voice in the court will be more important in the future.

To put it simply, Yan Zhenqing and Xue Bai gave a credit to these three important ministers in exchange for their support and protection, and then everyone moved forward together.

~~

The reason why he chose to meet in the secretary province was because Xue Bai proposed to revise the book that year, and many important ministers were also supervisors.

After talking about things and leaving the secretary province, Xue Bai looked at the sky and went to the newspaper institute to find Wang Changling.

The afternoon sun shone on the melting snow, and you could faintly see floating wood chips.

The smell of wood and ink permeated the courtyard of the government office, which smelled good and pungent.

There was a pot of wine on the table, Wang Changling was reading the manuscript, and he had to pick up the paper every time he read it, and adjust the distance to read it because of the different sizes of the handwriting, too close or too far, he couldn't see it clearly.

When he looked up again, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Xue Bai coming in.

"It's rare for Xue Lang to have time to come."

"It's as if I'm busier than Brother Wang."

"I'm really not busy." Wang Changling got up, took out a cup from the Duobao shelf, and said: "You can't drink alcohol must be changed, the amount of alcohol is like poetry, you should practice more." ”

"The amount of wine is like poetry, and I am afraid that it is a talent."

Xue Bai took a sentence, followed the topic, and said: "By the way, I recently heard that Brother Wang's eldest brother Shiyun 'repentant husband looking for a marquis', a wonderful turning point, a famous sentence through the ages. ”

Wang Changling poured a glass of wine and pushed it forward, saying, "You didn't praise me seriously, but when you came today, you actually had something to say to me, an old man who had a bad career?" ”

"Just stop by and have a chat." Xue Bai said, "Brother Wang also knows that Prime Minister Zuo has recently recommended a group of people to the imperial court. ”

This is his ability, although his official position is not high, he can seek officials for his friends.

However, Wang Changling waved his hand and said: "I understand Xue Lang's kindness, but I don't think about the fame of the official career, so I don't mix it." ”

Xue Bai held the wine glass and said, "The poems of the eldest brother in the past are not so gloomy. ”

Wang Changling let out a long sigh and said, "When Gong Guo passed away, the post of Jiannan Jiedu envoy, I'm afraid that Xian Yu Zhongtong, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, should take over?" ”

"Yes."

Xue Bai has also been concerned about this matter, as soon as Guo Xuji died, the candidate for the Jiannan Jiedu envoy was basically Xian Yu Zhongtong, but because Xian Yu Zhongtong was friendly with Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu has been obstructing, and presumably it will not be able to be hindered for long.

"Why am I so depressed?" Wang Changling said: "Can you find it? The generals of the border towns are almost all Hu people. ”

Xue Bai also realized that now in the Tang Dynasty, the four towns of Anxi made Gao Xianzhi, the two towns of Fanyang Pinglu made An Lushan, the two towns of Longyou in Hexi made Ge Shuhan, and the Jiannan Festival made Xian Yu Zhongtong...... The border towns can basically be said to be Hu people as commanders.

But he at least kept the Hedong Jiedu envoy Wang Zhonghei, in addition, at that time, the Shuofang Jiedu envoy appointed Zhang Qiqiu, Xue Bai did not know Zhang Qiqiu, only knew that Guo Ziyi was under the command of this person to serve as Shuofang's military envoy.

"There are still two Han envoys."

"It's not that I despise the Hu people, but now this Tang border town ......" Wang Changling was a little ignorant of what to say, and finally smiled bitterly: "The penitent husband is looking for a marquis, because the men of the Han family who are concerned about him can no longer be marquis." ”

After that, he looked up at Xue Bai and asked, "I know what you want to persuade me, but is what I said in this poem wrong?" ”

"That's right."

Xue Baihu felt that Wang Changling's poems were a little bitter.

When he was young, he went out of the jam and wrote such magnificent and heart-wrenching side poems, but now there are only girlfriends and girlfriends.

Today, he may still be thinking about destroying Tibet and building an immortal career, but he didn't find that an elderly poet has witnessed the history of the Tang Dynasty army from invincible to gradually withering.

"In the past two years since I returned to Chang'an, I learned that the military system of the government has been ruined, completely ruined."

"The Tang Dynasty established the country with government soldiers, and now Juntian exists in name only, and wars are frequent, military service is heavy, the people avoid service, and soldiers, horses, and weapons are dissipated.

"On May 10 last year, the brother slave played, stopped folding the Yushu of the Mansion, and changed the government soldiers to recruitment. However, the recruits are all street vendors and scoundrels, so how can they ever practice military affairs? ”

"The Tang Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and the DPRK and China have said a lot to sell troops, so there is a ban on people who carry weapons. If the son is a military attaché, he is despised by his father and brother. The border towns are all surrounded by the Hu people as a barrier, and the country is unarmed. In such a situation, whose husband can find a marquis? ”

"Young men can't be sealed as marquis, and I'm old, and I won't think about moving officials. Over the years, I have written poems of resentment, and I won't hide it from you, I just have a grudge against the court, and those poems I wrote when I was young...... I can't do it anymore. ”

"More than a thousand gold medals and purple ribbons ride, and the husband pays homage to the marquis...... It can't be done. ”

Wang Changling drank a lot of alcohol, but after complaining, he seemed to be really drunk.

He looked at Xue Bai, smiled helplessly, and read again casually: "The former army fought in Taohebei at night, and it has been reported to capture Gu Hun, this is also a poem I wrote back then, I really can't do it." ”

Before, the saint liked his poems very much, but now the saint hates his poems because he has changed and has become only able to write about his grievances. Today, it is rare for him to recite his previous poems.

"The white horse golden saddle is from the Martial Emperor, and the banner is 100,000 Su Changyang, hahaha, the white horse and the golden saddle are from the Martial Emperor!"

Xue Bai took the wine glass and drank it all, and said: "Ming Xingchi sealed the sword, and Cijun took Loulan overnight." ”

"Not bad." Wang Changling said: "The sound of the iron drum at the head of the city is still shaking, and the blood of the golden knife in the box has not dried up. ”

"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned."

"But to make the dragon city fly, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain."

At the end, Wang Changling turned the wine jug completely upside down, and when he saw that there was no wine in it, he sighed and muttered.

"A piece of ice is in the jade pot."

~~

Xue Bai came today, originally to persuade Wang Changling to be more motivated, and the next step was to fight for the opportunity to win the official position.

But unexpectedly, after a long talk, it was Wang Changling who made him better understand how corrupt the Tang military system was.

So, can they see these things, can Tubo and Nanzhao see it?

It is said that the Anshi Rebellion made the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline, but what Xue Bai sees now finds that the Tang Dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline, but the vast majority of people have not yet discovered it, and they are still indulging in the glory of the prosperous era.

On the contrary, those who are as sober as Wang Changling are easy to be disliked as resentful women, the so-called "a piece of ice heart in the jade pot".

Xue Bai wanted to desperately shake the world awake and speak out.

"Look, Nanzhao has rebelled, An Lushan has rebelled, and Tubo has entered Chang'an...... It's not a heyday anymore! ”

~~

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun, wake up."

Xue Bai woke up suddenly, turned his head to look, and saw Qing Lan looking at him with a worried expression.

He looked around and remembered that he had been a little drunk last night and had gone to sleep when he got home.

"Lang Jun has a nightmare, right?" Qinglan gently wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany Langjun." ”

Xue Bai then held her in his arms.

Qing Lan was stunned, wrapped her hands around him, patted him gently, and asked, "What did Lang Jun dream of?" ”

"I dreamed that Chang'an City was in ruins."

"No, you just think about it day and dream at night. Remember? Lang Jun and I have seen Chang'an from afar, and the night in Chang'an is beautiful. ”

Xue Bai didn't need to be comforted by Qing Lan, when he held her in his arms, he thought that he had to protect her, protect everything he wanted to protect.

At the end of the day, a rare visitor came to visit.

Xue Bai got the word and rushed to the front hall in his clothes, only to see Li Tengkong standing there, his clothes flowing but slim.

The two glanced at each other, without greetings and courtesies, but got straight to business.

"I persuaded Grandpa, he went to check the recital submitted by Yunnan Taishou in the past year, and also transferred the entry table of King Nanzhao to Honglu Temple."

"That's good."

If Li Linfu could react earlier, the prestige of the loss would naturally be much smaller, but the imperial court could be prepared early, which was actually the result that Xue Bai was more willing to see.

"There is another thing, you may already know that An Lushan has arrived in Chang'an."

"Yes." Xue Bai said, "Yang Guozhong thought that he didn't dare to come, but now that he has come, presumably the saint believes in him even more?" ”

"I don't know, you've offended a lot of people, be careful."

Having said that, Li Tengkong took his leave and left.

Xue Bai happened to go to Yushitai, so he once again said that he would send her back to his house by the way.

The two of them chatted a few words.

"I heard that you are going to get married in March?"

"Hmm."

"Yan Yan and I are also good friends, don't forget to give me an invitation when the time comes."

"Okay."

Xue Bai looked sideways, Li Tengkong was worthy of being a cultivator, plain and peaceful, and everything did not linger.

He felt that he deserved too short, and he had the heart to say something, so he asked: "Shangyuan Festival, will you still go to the Calyx Tower Imperial Banquet with Princess Xianyi?" ”

"It's not decided yet." Li Tengkong said, "What about you?" Do you still write words at royal banquets? ”

"Probably not, Jiang Lang is exhausted, and he can't write any good sentences."

"The peach blossom poem you wrote to Ji Lanzi is a good sentence."

Xue Bai was stunned for a moment, Li Tengkong had already consciously said the wrong thing, walked two steps quickly, and boarded the carriage.

He sent her back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and Jin Wuwei at the door looked sideways, obviously thinking that he had been too diligent recently.

~~

The Shangyuan Festival is getting closer and closer, and the Yushitai is not as busy as usual.

Xue Bai finished his errand and transferred to the palace to see Yan Zhenqing.

In the past, Yan Zhenqing had a high reputation, and there were officials in the public house who came to set him up, but recently he got into trouble, and his surroundings quickly became deserted.

When Xue Bai arrived, he sat there alone, writing something with a pen.

"The teacher is working hard to write, but who is he going to impeach."

"Nope."

Yan Zhenqing shook his head, as if he was no longer interested in impeaching officials, and said: "I have sorted out the letters exchanged with Guo Gong a few years ago, hoping to have a better understanding of the situation in the southwest." ”

"I heard that the brother slave has begun to pay attention to this matter, and Zhang Yan will also remind the saint that the saint may summon the teacher at that time."

Yan Zhenqing said: "I impeached Li Yanye because he had a private meeting with Waibo and did violate national law, not that I had insight into the collusion between Tubo and Nanzhao. ”

Xue Bai said: "The students don't want the teacher to take credit, but, at least, it will not make the military affairs into the hands of some mediocre people." ”

He has always known that Chen Xilie and Yang Guozhong must be unreliable, as for Zhang Yan, not to mention anything else, Zhang Yan and An Lushan are also close, and now An Lushan has arrived in Chang'an.

It was eventful.

At this time, Luo Xixiao came over with a few imperial histories, in terms of official position, he was the chief official of the palace, and he was quite arrogant in the face of Yan Zhenqing and Xue Bai, and he was not polite, so he asked the person behind him to hand Yan Zhenqing an official letter.

"Yan Changshi, hand over official affairs and take office in Hezhou."

Xue Bai looked at the official document and saw that there were not only the lines and seals of the officials on the paper, but also the approved seals that had been reviewed by the Zhongshu Gate.

Obviously, Chen Xilie didn't hold on, he didn't even wait for the Shangyuan Festival, as soon as An Lushan arrived in Chang'an, the left minister became timid.

Luo Xixiao observed Yan Zhenqing's expression and sneered in a low voice: "I don't know what to do, this is the consequence." ”

Without waiting for others to react, he then sighed and said: "It's a pity, Yan Changshi has only arrived at Yushitai not long ago, and I was looking forward to joining hands with you for state affairs, but I didn't expect it...... Now I only wish Yan Changshi a smooth journey and make great progress. ”

"Borrow Luo Yushi's words." Yan Zhenqing was not shocked.

Rohi sneered, shook his head, and walked away with the people.

Xue Bai stared at his back, and a slight light flashed in his eyes.

Yan Zhenqing casually put aside the official document that was transferred to him, tugging at his beard, his eyes were thoughtful.

He didn't care much about his official career, but through this incident, he saw the attitude of the imperial court towards Nanzhao, and he couldn't help but worry.

"It seems that the saint does not believe in the rebellion of Nanzhao."

"Don't believe me?" Xue Bai said, "If the sage doesn't believe it, won't Nanzhao rebel?" ”

~~

Right Prime Minister's House.

Li Tengkong returned to the courtyard and sat down in the boudoir, the plain and calm expression on his face faded, and a melancholy look appeared in his eyes.

She prides herself on being a cultivator and requires herself to be extraordinary, but how can a girl in the world who is in the prime of her life really be able to stop her heart and see through the red dust.

Xue Bai is a stone, but she is not.

In private, she would also put her head under the covers, thinking alone about things that she was ashamed to say.

"Seventeen Niang."

"What?" Li Tengkong lifted the quilt and came out, and regained his indifferent temperament.

"Aaron called you over...... There are good things. ”

Today, the father and daughter meet each other, but they are in the flower hall in the backyard.

Li Linfu's face was much better than a few days ago, and when he saw his daughter coming, a smile appeared on his face.

"Grandpa." Li Tengkong saluted and said, "Regarding the matter of Nanzhao, my daughter still wants to say a few more words." ”

"Needless to say, you are a little woman, what are you doing in charge of state affairs?"

"......"

"My father has already checked, Ge Luofeng is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he respects the saint like a god, and this matter can be determined from his entry table and the documents sent back by the officials in the southwest." Li Linfu waved his hand and said, "What Xue Bai said is just a lie made up to help Yan Zhenqing. ”

Li Tengkong said: "Although he is scheming, he will not lie about national affairs. ”

"Yes, yes, in your eyes, he's so good?" Li Linfu was not angry, but said: "My father has demoted Yan Zhenqing and released him, and he will make the marriage between Yan's daughter and Xue Bai fail, you know it in your heart." ”

Li Tengkong was taken aback and said, "How can Grandpa be like this?!" ”

"Because Datang has its own laws. Yan Zhenqing falsely accused Zheng Yanzuo, which frightened officials who were loyal to the country and were willing to give charity; falsely accused Li Yanye, leaked the opportunity to take the right time, and mistook the major events in the border town. If you don't want to repent, you will cover up and take the blame. ”

"Grandpa uses such domineering methods to bad people's marriages, and his daughter will never ......"

"Enough. Kyauknu, take Seventeen Niang down, change out of the robe, and make an ordinary attire back! ”

Li Linfu now has the prestige of the prime minister, and he has no patience to talk to Li Tengkong anymore, so he ordered the female envoy to take her down.

He was still busy, and got up and went to the front chamber.

Since Wang Jie's death, Li Linfu has not stabilized the situation until now, because An Lushan has arrived in Chang'an.

As soon as An Lushan came, some people realized that almost all the Hu generals in the Tang border town were carried by the right minister, and the strength of the right minister was still there. So, if Chen Xilie was first-class, he was immediately afraid.

The loose alliance that Xue Bai had worked so hard to pull together immediately began to disintegrate.

Want to stop his phase? The shaft is still too tender.

Li Linfu had a cold face, slowly sat down in the conference hall, and looked at Yang Guozhong, who had fallen there.

In fact, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Yang Guozhong had already come to visit him, and he didn't remember that this was the first time Yang Guozhong begged for mercy after betraying him, but officialdom was always like this.

"Right Prime Minister, I have already persuaded Chen Xilie, presumably Right Prime Minister also saw his derogatory recital of Yan Zhenqing."

The reason why Yang Guozhong betrayed Xue Bai again and chose Li Linfu is very simple, or he doesn't think he is betrayal, because he always only chooses the winning side.

He received a letter from Xian Yu Zhongtong and made sure that Ge Luofeng had no intention of betraying the Tang Dynasty. Because of the last year, He Luguang, the general of Zuo Wuwei, went to Nanzhao to take Anning City and the five salt wells in the city, which shocked Nanzhao.

However, Xue Bai bet all his bets on this matter, so he had no choice but to choose Li Linfu.

"I see it." Li Linfu said lightly: "The people of the Jiannan Festival have been selected, and they are rarely in Zhongtong." ”

"The right is wise."

This is a small exchange of interests, Li Linfu wants to belittle Yan Zhenqing, Yang Guozhong accepted a gift from Xian Yu Zhongtong to help seek officials, but Yang Guozhong is obviously not satisfied.

"So, Jing Zhaoyin's candidate?"

"You want to be?"

"The lower officials are willing to only look forward to the right prime minister!"

Li Linfu's eyes were full of ridicule, and he looked down on Yang Guozhong more and more, if it weren't for Xue Bai's return to Chang'an, which posed a huge threat to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he would never keep this spittle, and now in order to deal with Xue Bai, he had to use this kind of waste again.

"Jing Zhaoyin is an important position, and he should consider it. By the way, Zhang Yan wants to be the next chapter of the same book? ”

"Yes, it was Xue Bai who instigated Zhang Yan." Yang Guozhong said: "I strongly oppose this matter, but Xue Bai and Li Yu seem to be bent on helping Zhang Yan enter the center because of their proximity to the East Palace. ”

"The framing of Hu'er was also instructed by the East Palace?"

Yang Guozhong was a little stunned at first, lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and said: "It was the East Palace that instructed Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan has always been friendly with An Lushan, so he can forge a lot of false evidence, and then use Li Mi and Xue Bai to wronged An Lushan in the case of Wang Weld's rebellion." ”

This answer finally satisfied Li Linfu, he nodded and said, "When this case is over, you will be Jing Zhaoyin." ”

~~

Yang Guozhong left the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was still looking forward to winning the post of Jing Zhaoyin.

He thinks that he is the fastest person to be promoted in Datang.

The reason why he can rise to prominence is because he judges the situation, in comparison, others are not as good as him, Chen Xilie is weak, Zhang Yan's identity is embarrassing, and Xue Bai is sometimes too stubborn, why bother biting Li Yanye's case?

"I'm the only one thinking about getting promoted."

Yang Guozhong shook his head with a smile, climbed on his steed, and headed south.

He didn't notice that there were several pedestrians on the street who were keeping an eye on him.

……

It was evening, Fengwei Building.

"The spit pot is falling to the slave again."

"Not unexpected."

Du Yan's eyes showed contempt and said, "Although it is not surprising, his backbone is still too soft. ”

"So what?" Xue Bai said, "Do you see that they belittled my teacher today, did they really win?" When Nanzhao rebels, who will win? ”

"Sometimes I really wish that Nanzhao rebelled, and gave these groggy bad old men in the court a loud slap in the face, so that they understood a truth, if there was no psychological policy, they would get down earlier, and Mo would still sit there and harm the people."

Xue Bai listened to such a rebellious sentence, and only stroked Du Yan's back and said, "Calm down." ”

"I'm calm, we're going to win this game, aren't we?"

So far, Xue Bai has not produced any evidence that Nanzhao wants to rebel, but Du Yan just believes in him unconditionally, so he is destined to win.

But what Xue Bai wants is not only to win over Li Linfu, but only to prove that he is more far-sighted than Li Linfu.

"Brother Nu and Spit Pot understand Li Longji's mind best, and they have joined forces to belittle my teacher, which shows that Li Longji does not believe that Nanzhao will rebel at all. At this time, I must only think about the Shangyuan banquet and celebrate the whole world. ”

"What a celebration for the whole world."

"yes."

Du Yan knew Xue Bai best, and when she saw the glint in his eyes, she bit his ear and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I'm thinking about how to summon the world and let everyone know about the Nanzhao rebellion."

"It's not difficult, we have a sharp weapon specifically for this." Du Yan said, "The difficult thing is how to summon the world, and you can stay out of it." ”

"I can't stay out of it, no matter how secretive I do, as long as I do it, I will know that I did it."

"Then bear with me, let's wait?"

Xue Bai was still pondering, thinking about whether he could withstand the turbulent waves he would face if he really violated Li Longji's wishes.

And he was fed up with everything being under the control of Li Longji and Li Linfu, the mediocre monarchs, even if it was only once, he wanted to try to slap them.

For a long time, he looked in the direction of Xingqing Palace and muttered, "The Shangyuan Festival has arrived." ”

~~

In the blink of an eye, it is the thirteenth day of the first month, and Shangyuan is coming.

Chang'an City was already immersed in the coming carnival, and the streets and alleys were talking about the treasures and birds and beasts brought by Fan Yangjiedu from the north.

Suzaku Street is already full of lanterns.

Xue Bai rode through the long street dotted with lanterns, with a solemn expression, looking a little out of place with the entire Tang Dynasty.

He entered the imperial city, and again turned into the secretary province and the newspaper institute.

Faintly, the sound of silk bamboo sounded, and some people were singing, singing and complaining.

"Hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the water hall is fragrant."

"Who is holding a cry to cover the autumn fan, and the bright moon is waiting for the king."

Xue Bai entered and saw Wang Changling reclining in the hall, holding a manuscript in one hand and wine in the other, while listening to the musician singing.

"Please go down first."

"Yes."

"Last time, I asked Brother Wang if he wanted to be promoted, and he replied no, but now he is 'waiting for the king with the bright moon in the air'?"

Wang Changling laughed and laughed at himself: "I have a bad mouth, I talk a lot, I complain, and I can't do real things." ”

Xue Bai sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "My teacher has been demoted." ”

"Yan Qingchen's reputation is in the world, and he will be promoted. The sea rises and falls, ups and downs...... In fact, it is an extremely rare thing, and it is more common to fall and fall, and it is a plummet. ”

"When Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling was demoted, if Brother Wang took refuge in his brother, maybe his career would be smooth sailing?"

"An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, which made me unhappy." Wang Changling didn't bother to answer such words, drank wine, and read a poem by Li Bai.

Xue Bai had something to say, but he didn't speak immediately.

Wang Changling then asked, "Is there something wrong with Xue Lang?" ”

"If I open my mouth, I may hurt Brother Wang."

"Hah, how far can it go to me?"

"Probably...... Degraded officials? ”

Wang Changling laughed again and said, "Do you know that when I was recommended by you to the Newspaper Academy, Li Taibai gave me a poem? ”

"I've heard a little."

"The title of the poem is "Hearing that Wang Changling moved to the left and Longbiao Yao has this send", he thought that I was demoted to Yelang. I ask you, is there a worse end in officialdom? But even so, I still received a poem from Li Taibai. ”

Xue Bai was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Changling's open-minded face, and suddenly figured out a lot of things.

"Yang Hua fell to the end of the rules, and heard that the dragon marked the five streams."

"I send my sorrow and the bright moon, and follow you until the night is long."

Wang Changling groaned loudly, turned the wine to the sky, and toasted Li Bai who was far away in the sky.

The freedom of the Tang people is all in this cup.

(End of chapter)
