Before the saint entered the secret room, Feng Shenwei got a secret order to monitor Xue Bai, so that he would not be unfavorable to the saint by setting up the secret room.

Therefore, in addition to Yang Guozhong, Feng Shenwei also always followed Xue Bai closely and kept his eyes on it until the saint walked to the final secret room under the protection of Chen Xuanli, and Xue Bai walked in another direction, saying that he was going to see how the prince was.

Feng Shenwei glanced in the direction of the saint, and was about to follow Xue Bai, but he heard the palace people calling over there.

"Concubine?"

"What's wrong?"

"The concubine is still here."

Feng Shenwei hesitated slightly, for fear of losing the concubine again, so he hurriedly rushed over, pulled the rope in the corridor, and pulled the door of the last secret room open.

The majestic voice of the saint came from inside.

"Although the game is fake, Ge Luofeng's fate is real, and those who rebel against the Tang Dynasty will bring about their own destruction......"

Feng Shenwei narrowed his eyes, and through the screen, he couldn't see if the concubine was inside, but fortunately, he could be sure that the saint was definitely safe.

He slowly loosened the rope, lowered the hanging door again, and turned to walk into the depths of the secret chamber to find the concubine.

Although he watched the transformation of this secret room the whole time, when he really walked into it, it was difficult to identify the road for a while.

~~

The faint glow of the lantern dispelled the darkness in front of him slightly.

Xue Bai looked down at the road and noticed that under Yang Yuhuan's skirt was a pair of plain white satin shoes, the tips of which were upturned. This is the shoe sample he designed when rehearsing "The Legend of the White Snake", and she also gave a special name for this shoe, called "Water Cloud Shoes".

Wearing today, she should think that if she has the opportunity, she can still sing another unfinished opera.

"It's just in 'Taihe City', it's actually a hint." Yang Yuhuan suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Huh?"

"The people sent by An Lushan lied to us." Yang Yuhuan said: "When 'Taihe City' was looking for clues, someone said that 'Hu'er can't be trusted', and it was really a clue. ”

It turned out that she was still thinking about Fang Cai's game.

"Yes." Xue Bai said: "The clues are more than these, but the saint deliberately ignored them. ”

Yang Yuhuan stopped, looked at the secret room behind him, and said, "Also, we could have met the prince here. ”

"yes, if you don't go too quickly, at least five people can enter the final secret room."

Xue Bai's original arrangement was that it would take five people to defeat Ge Luofeng, but seeing that Li Longji only brought one person, he had to cancel the final problem.

But this did not affect Yang Yuhuan's experience, and she reviewed the whole experience with great pleasure.

In the end, she still couldn't finish her thoughts: "Next time, if "Journey to the West" can also be made into a secret room, it must be interesting, how about arranging a Pansi Cave?" You, the entertainer, will be ready to get ready right away. ”

Xue Bai listened and didn't answer, seemingly a little reluctant.

Yang Yuhuan glanced at his side face, and knew that after he joined the office, he always wanted to become a capable minister, not a minister. Her excitement gradually faded, and she said, "I know that you have big ambitions, so you should be very reluctant to do these things for the pleasure of the concubine, right?" ”

"Sister Wan Mo said so."

"It's okay, I understand." Yang Yuhuan smiled and said: "It's like Li Bai, he treats Zhao Hanlin, but only accompanies the sage to the banquet and writes some poems for me to sing and dance, he has a sense of depression, how can I not even have this little look?" You are all great talents, Qu Cai came to make me laugh, I am very grateful, and I am afraid to become a compliment. ”

"Unyielding." Xue Bai said: "The reason why King Zhou You died was that he was greedy and corrupt, did not ask about political affairs, and appointed traitors, even if there was no praise, there was also depreciation. ”

He didn't blindly follow Yang Yuhuan, he didn't say this to comfort her, but just to make his position clear.

Yang Yuhuan has been accommodated by people since she was a child, even if the saint has to coax her in person, she is a little unaccustomed to Xue Bai's attitude of taking matters into account, but she is not angry, but said: "Knowing that you are dedicated to national affairs, rest assured, no matter what official position you want, Sister will fight for you." ”

In fact, she rarely accommodates anyone like this.

"Concubine."

"Concubine."

Ahead, there was the call of Colliers.

Xue Bai didn't dare to speak anymore, stopped, handed the lantern to Yang Yuhuan, and turned around and stepped back.

After a while, he heard the voice of Colliers behind him.

"The concubine is here, and the saint is worried about you."

“……”

Xue Bai deliberately stayed away, and after a while, he saw Li Qi.

"Who?"

Xue Bai then walked into the firelight and said, "King Jianning, the game is over, and the saint has passed through all the secret rooms. ”

"The saint is wise." Li Qi said, "I just got lost here. ”

"What about the crown prince and the king of Quang Binh?"

"If you go on, you will be later than the saints."

Xue Bai actually grasped the progress of the three of them, and said, "Today, I know that Jianning Wang Zhiyong is both complete and agile. ”

Li Qi was still honest, and he didn't pretend anymore, but approached Xue Bai and whispered in his ear: "Don't say it, I'll invite you to eat and drink." ”

"Okay."

"Hey, hey."

Li Qi smiled proudly, not holding the shelf, revealing a trace of innocence.

From this point, it can be seen that his heart of gain and loss is not as heavy as Li Li's.

After that, he didn't say anything serious, but discussed the various organs of this secret room, and talked about Nanzhao.

"Actually, I can see your intentions." Li Qi lowered his voice again and said, "What I said today seems to be Nanzhao, but in fact, you want to remind the saint not to trust An Lushan too much. ”

"Am I doing this?" Xue Bai denied it in a half-joking tone.

"I don't know how many hints I've gotten along the way, but dare I say no?" Li Qi said: "The sage named An Lushan as the king of Dongping County, and I am also worried. ”

Without waiting for Xue Bai to speak, he waved his hand.

"You don't have to say it explicitly, it's okay for me to be the emperor's grandson and discuss the government in vain, but you will inevitably be held by others, just know my attitude."

Xue Bai said: "Don't worry, the sage knows that I don't like An Lushan......

The two talked as they walked, bypassing the somewhat complicated passage, and someone on the side came with a lantern and called out.

"The Emperor's grandson."

Li Qi turned his head to look, only to see that it was Gao Lishi, so he nodded to him and said, "Ah Weng." ”

Gao Lishi also nodded in greetings and said, "The emperor's grandson did a good job today. ”

"Xie Aweng praised."

"What about the prince?"

"Grandpa and Brother should have gone out smoothly."

"The saint is waiting, let's go."

~~

Feng Shenwei got lost, and the lantern in his hand was extinguished.

Fortunately, after bypassing the passages, I finally heard footsteps, and then saw a figure.

He followed the past and saw the silhouettes of Xue Bai and Li Qi.

But on the other side, Gao Lishi had already walked over first and called, "Emperor Sun." ”

Feng Shenwei was stunned for a moment, because he was facing Gao Lishi, and he could just see Gao Lishi's gaze...... It was clearly looking at Xue Bai.

Xue Bai and Li Qi heard the call, but they actually turned their heads at the same time.

And then the sentence "The emperor and grandson behaved well today", Feng Shenwei inexplicably felt that Gao Lishi was saying it to Xue Bai.

He knew Colliers so well that he could even feel the tentative hint in his tone.

The moment Li Qi took the salute, he felt that Gao Lishi seemed to look at Xue Bai.

"The saint is waiting, let's go...... Who's over there? Gao Lishi suddenly shouted.

"It's a slave."

Feng Shenwei hurriedly trotted forward, saluted Gao Lishi, and looked up as if his gaze swept over Xue Bai inadvertently.

A few people walked out, Feng Shenwei deliberately took a few steps behind, walked behind Xue Bai, and whispered: "I don't know how Xue Lang can come up with such a superb game, it's really amazing." ”

"General Feng has won the award, it's just a family wine."

"But no one has ever thought of holding a family wine for the saint before." Feng Shenwei sighed with emotion.

"I just think that although the saint is the supreme of the Ninth Five, he also has joys, sorrows, and sorrows."

Faced with such a sentence, Feng Shenwei didn't dare to answer.

When they walked out of the secret room, they could already hear Li Longji's laughter, and he was talking in a pointing tone about his strategy to successfully crack the secret rooms.

At the end, Li Longji looked at Xue Bai, praised him for a while, and asked, "Say, how do you want me to reward you?" ”

Yang Guozhong's eyes immediately flashed with envy, although he has worn dozens of positions, his greed for power has not diminished at all. He knew Xue Bai and knew that he must still want a formal official position in the imperial court, and then he would have to find a way to intervene in the errand of the art envoy.

"The minister just did his part, and he didn't dare to ask for a reward from the saint." Xue Bai stepped forward in two steps, and first excused himself.

Regardless of whether Li Longji likes him or not, he will not be stingy with this reward at this time.

"If you do a good job, I will reward you, speak boldly."

Yang Yuhuan smiled slightly, glanced at Xue Bai encouragingly, and asked him to boldly ask for an official, and she would also persuade the saint to agree.

At this moment, Xue Bai thought about it for the last time.

There were many roads in front of him, and he sifted out three.

The first is to continue to take the right path of officialdom and squeeze into the positions of the six ministers, foreign ministers, and middle scholars, which is the fastest way to be promoted to power under normal circumstances;

The second is to go to the army to experience, at present, Helong and Jiannan have the opportunity to make contributions, the risk may be great, but there are also benefits, at least to make up for his lack of military power;

The third is to give it a go, bet all the chips on the table, and now pretend to be the emperor's grandson, which contains countless unknown risks, seeking to live to death, in fact, nine deaths and one life.

"Minister......

Xue Bai's eyes lifted slightly, and he glanced at Feng Shenwei, only to see that the other party was looking at him extremely intently.

No matter who Yang Yuhuan said about the eyeliner of the Inner Servant Province, Xue Bai sensed the aura of danger. Then, the first path seems to be smooth, but in fact it is easy to fall into passivity; Although the third way is a shortcut, it puts life and death between Li Longji's thoughts.

"The minister asks the saint to give the officer." Xue Bai said, "The minister is willing to go to Nanzhao with the army to pacify Ge Luofeng for the saint." ”

After all, he chose a path that could be attacked and retreated.

Now that he is mired in suspicion and suspicion, he simply jumped out of the court again and accumulated strength. Putting aside Li Longji's suspicions, he is still very young, and Li Longji is already old, and time will be more and more favorable to him.

Even during the period of the conquest of Nanzhao, people were aware of his different intentions, and he could quickly flee and wait for the opportunity to move.

Hearing this, Yang Guozhong was surprised at first, and then he was overjoyed, thinking that Xue Bai was really to his liking, and he came up with a good way for the saint to enjoy and left the court, just leaving him with the beauty of the art envoy.

Feng Shenwei lowered his head, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly said that if Xue Baizhen went with the army, it would be good to avoid the suspicion of the saint.

Li Longji was also unexpected, looking at Xue Bai, he saw clean and bright eyes, with sincerity and enthusiasm, and the appearance of contributing to the country.

"Young spirit, do you know the danger of the battle?"

"The minister is not afraid of danger, and the majesty of the Tang Dynasty is more important than the life of the minister."

Li Longji shook his head and smiled, laughing at Xue Bai's youth, and said, "You are a champion who doesn't know about military affairs, what's the benefit of going?" My soldiers are good at fighting, and there is no shortage of you. With this in mind, it is better to do the errand of the amusement envoy well and build more secret rooms. ”

It is rare for the dignified Son of Heaven to open his mouth to persuade so much, it is nothing more than the need for Xue Bai to continue to be a minister.

At this moment, Xue Bai could suddenly feel Li Bai's depression in Zhao Hanlin.

He didn't have Li Bai's chivalrous spirit, resigned from his official position, and went north to explore the tiger's den, but he found evidence but may not be able to solve the trouble.

"The minister recommended Yang Guozhong and Feng Shenwei as the art envoys." Xue Bai said: "They participated in the whole process of building the secret room this time, and many wonderful ideas were put forward by them. ”

Yang Guozhong was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted: "The minister doesn't dare to take credit, the minister should have done better." ”

Feng Shenwei was flattered and humbly responded. In his heart, he secretly wondered why Xue Bai repeatedly showed favor to himself, which made it difficult for people to do it.

Li Longji still didn't immediately agree, turned to Yang Yuhuan, and said, "Taizhen, he is your brother-in-law, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”

Yang Yuhuan didn't want Xue Bai to take risks, and was about to shake his head, but he thought of what Fang had just said to Xue Bai, no matter what official position she was fighting for.

She thought to herself, what if she regretted it? It's better than sending your own brother to such a dangerous place.

But when the words came to her mouth, she still said: "The concubine only hates herself as a daughter, and she can't solve her worries for San Lang." Fortunately, his brother served the country with his fists, so what if the saint allowed him? ”

"Okay." Li Longji waved his hand in a dashing manner, "Tomorrow Shangshu Province will arrange it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Longji is in a good mood today, as if he can be agreed to any request, maybe Xue Bai pretends to be the emperor's grandson, and he will also take advantage of the situation.

~~

The second day of June.

A lychee on the table has changed its flavor a little.

This was given by a saint, Li Linfu forgot to eat it, put it there, and watched it slowly age.

He held the "notekeeping bead" that Zhang Yan had given him in his hand, played with it, and asked Xue Bai in front of him, "Go to Nanzhao, what do you think?" ”

"Thinking that if I make a war exploit, the saint can also make me the 'King of Nanping County'."

"If you are afraid of Hu'er, you don't have to." Li Linfu said: "The Tang Dynasty is in the hands of the imperial court, and Hu'er can't turn the sky. It was I who allowed him to prevent Li Heng from succeeding to the throne that gave him the guts. If I don't allow it, he won't dare. ”

Xue Bai had already felt that after An Lushan became king, Li Linfu's attitude had changed again, so he asked: "The right minister invited me today, what is your proposal?" ”

"Turn hostility into friendship."

"An Qingzong's wedding date is imminent, An Lushan sent someone to Chang'an and sent a jade silk to the right minister?"

Li Linfu said slowly: "Everyone can work together to support King Qing, and with An Lushan as the aid, great things can be expected." ”

The two were still talking in the Glaive Hall, and Xue Bai walked to the window and looked at the lake outside the hall, making sure that the conversation was not known to others.

"If King Qing becomes the prince, your ambition will be half successful." Li Linfu said, "You don't have to make more enemies, and you don't need to make more strong enemies. ”

"It's hard to imagine that the words that persuaded me to be Mo Shu's enemy came from the mouth of the right minister."

Li Linfu didn't pay attention to this kind of gag.

Xue Bai groaned and said, "The right minister is not afraid that An Lushan will become Dong Zhuo?" ”

"He can be overwhelmed by his own energy."

"What if you 'forget' by then?"

"Presumptuous."

Li Linfu was displeased, snorted the case, and said nothing with a cold face.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Xue Bai quickly thought for a while.

Because he separated Li Linfu and An Lushan, he still forced An Lushan to make some changes, at least he was willing to express his support for King Qing. This may seem like a small change, but it has the potential to make a bigger difference.

Even if some people in the world saw An Lushan's different intentions, they all had a concept, that is, as long as the saint was alive, An Lushan would not dare to rebel, or that he would not make much trouble, which stemmed from the world's reverence and fear of Li Longji, including Li Linfu's thoughts.

Even An Lushan himself, if it were not a last resort, An Lushan would have wanted to wait until Li Longji's death before rebelling.

Only Xue Bai is very clear about one fact - Li Longji is alive, which is not good for quelling the Anshi Rebellion.

On the contrary, if someone succeeds to the throne earlier, while the current situation has not reached the worst, there may still be a chance to contain An Lushan, and if the person who succeeds to the throne is Li Cong, Xue Bai will be able to use this to grasp more power.

In this way, An Lushan's proposal can be considered.

But it can only be done in vain.

Because An Lushan's support for Li Cong is actually very small, unless Li Longji dies, Li Cong needs to mutiny, but in this way, as Xue Bai said, An Lushan is very likely to become Dong Zhuo; On the other hand, An Lushan will take advantage of the so-called cooperation to take many benefits from Li Linfu's hand.

Xue Bai thinks that what needs to be done now is to pretend to cooperate and stabilize An Lushan with false words.

"Think about it?" Li Linfu was impatient and asked.

Xue Bai said: "Look at what An Lushan wants, what can he give?" ”

"He's sent someone, so let's see him." Li Linfu was already tired, rang the bell, and recruited someone to take Xue Bai to the outer hall.

He sat alone in the Glaive Hall, thinking to himself what it would mean if he was really on the throne with Xue Bai Fuqing......

~~

Xue Bai walked into the outer hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw a middle-aged man standing in the hall.

"Xue Lang, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

The other party turned around, looked very excited, stepped forward and saluted, with a warm smile on his face, and asked, "Do you remember me?" ”

Xue Bai could feel that he was very calm from the depths of his eyes.

This is a person who is very deep in the city and is very good at acting, but he just met Xue Bai, a thousand-year-old fox.

"Solemn." Xue Bai said: "Tianbao has been in the imperial examination for six years, and there is no sage left behind, how can I forget Brother Yan, the sage?" ”

"Not virtuous." Yan Zhuang waved his hand again and again, very humble.

Xue Bai said: "'Xian' is certain, but it is not 'Legacy'. ”

Yan Zhuang smiled bitterly and said: "I am lucky to be appreciated by the king of Dongping County, and any Confucian official in the Fanyang Jiedu Mansion is not as good as Xue Lang." ”

"I'm just an art envoy and a minister, and I can't compare to Brother Yan to contribute to the country in the border area."

In the past six years, Tianbao has experienced the case of the imperial examination, but today they gathered in the right minister's mansion to discuss.

In this scene, it can be seen that they did not change the way of the world, but were changed by the way of the world.

"I came to Chang'an this time on the orders of the prince to help handle the marriage of the eldest man." Yan Zhuang said, "When I visited the right minister, I heard about some things, so I wanted to have a heart-to-heart chat with Xue Lang." ”

Xue Bai nodded and waited for the following.

"The prince of the palace has always been the head of the right minister, and he has offended the prince." Yan Zhuang smiled bitterly: "It's also strange that Fujun is a rough person, and when he met him, he said things like 'I don't know who the prince is'." Now that he thinks about it, he dares to be afraid, and wants to support King Qing as the prince, I don't know what Xue Lang wants? ”

In just two or three years, Yan Zhuang has quickly become sophisticated, and his words are implicitly ambitious.

Xue Bai asked rhetorically, "Why did you tell me?" ”

"Who doesn't know that Xue Lang has a lot of grudges with the East Palace?"

"I also had a holiday with An Lushan."

"It's a holiday that can be eliminated." Yan Zhuang said: "And the grudge with the East Palace cannot be eliminated. ”

"How can I trust you?"

Yan Zhuang was very eager, bold and outspoken, took a step forward, and said: "When Da Lang marries the lord of Rongyi, he will be the son-in-law of King Qing, so can't you see the sincerity of the prince?" ”

Xue Bai asked, "You are the one who promoted this matter?" ”

Yan Zhuang said: "Exactly." ”

Xue Bai asked again: "Someone in the palace can speak for you to promote this matter, who have you bribed?" Yuan Siyi? ”

Yan Zhuang smiled and did not answer, and said: "Xue Lang only needs to know that the prince of the mansion is sincerely willing to assist King Qing, he said, 'It will not be wrong to follow the little uncle to do things', and I look forward to working together with Xue Lang." ”

"What does he want?" Xue Bai asked.

Yan Zhuang was a little serious, restrained the smile on his face, and muttered: "With the power of the right prime minister and the prince of the palace, and the intelligence of Xue Lang, there should be a six-point chance of winning." Only the East Palace has the support of Wang Zhonghei, which can be worried. ”

"What does Brother Yan mean?"

"If there is a post of envoy of Hedong Jiedu, the king of the government will be able to ensure that the king of Qingqing will ascend the throne."

Xue Bai could feel Yan Zhuang's brazenness, even what Li Linfu said was "storage position", only Yan Zhuang said "ascending the throne", this person's official position is not high, but his courage is not small.

"How do you think I can help with this?"

Yan Zhuang smiled, this smile was completely different from Fang Cai, he was still enthusiastic and humble before, but now there was a look of pride in his eyes.

But his demeanor was very humble, and he said: "Don't ask Xue Lang for help, just ask Xue Lang not to make trouble again, and the prince will be rewarded." ”

After that, he added.

"It's better to be friends than enemies."

That's a threat.

From the beginning of the reminiscence, to the pleading in the middle, to the final threat, Yan Zhuang always carried a sense of confidence.

"Okay." Xue Bai said: "Then how are you going to make this Hedong Festival envoy, can you say it?" lest I accidentally obstruct it again. ”

"It's just a request from a saint." Yan Zhuang snorted and said, "When you and I met in Weimo, we have a good relationship, I really regard you as a friend." ”

After saying everything that should have been said, he got up and said, "I still need to go to King Qing's Mansion to send me an appointment, and I'll see you again." ”

"Brother Yan, busy."

Xue Bai looked at Yan Zhuang's back and thought to himself, although Wang Zhonghe's people are not in Hedong, but the Hedong army is his old henchmen, and An Lushan wants to seek Hedong Jiedu envoys, after all, he can't get around Wang Zhonghe.

The conquest of the Southern Zhao is imminent, and the newly canonized king of Dongping County is only afraid that he will persecute Wang Zhonghei again.

Today, it seems to be a surprise to the snake, but it is not fearless.

In the face of An Lushan's proposal, Li Linfu was already moved. So, how firm is Li Cong who married the eldest son of An Lushan?

Xue Bai seems to be hot now, after all, he is dependent on all forces, his foundation is not solid, and there are only some private properties at present, as well as the little unknown private soldiers in Luhun Villa in Yanshi County.

Yan Zhuang saw through Xue Bai's attachment to others, so he dared to be so arrogant.

But what Yan Zhuang didn't know was that what Xue Bai was doing was never attached, but subdued......

Happy New Year's Day to all!
