In the afternoon, it rained heavily.

An extremely richly decorated carriage drove through the heavy rain and entered King An's mansion.

Where the carriage stopped, Li Ye was already waiting, and when the carriage stopped, he took the big umbrella from the servant, walked into the rain, and personally propped up the people who walked out of the carriage.

"Why does Brother Ye have an umbrella?" It was Puwang Li Yan who walked out of the carriage, and he glanced up at the edge of the umbrella.

"It's raining, of course you have to have an umbrella. Li Ye smiled and welcomed Li Ye into the verandah, then accepted the umbrella and handed it back to the servant.

Li Yan flicked the scattered water droplets on his sleeves, and sniffed at Li Ye's style: "If it rains, we still need an umbrella, why do we need to cultivate this body?"

Li Ye smiled and didn't say anything, just pulled Li Yan into the house.

He now has the need to hide his true cultivation, so he is reluctant to use magic in front of people, so as not to be seen through his strength, and the eunuch Tian Lingzi, who is following Li Yan, is a master.

Sitting in the hall, Li Ye ordered tea and snacks, Li Yan came with news, seemed a little impatient, and said to Li Ye as soon as he sat down: "The news has just come out in the palace, Han Wenyue and Liu Xingshen have promised to speak to Your Majesty about your affairs." ”

This matter was expected by Li Ye, so he was not very surprised, but he still expressed his gratitude to Li Yan, and Li Yan waved his hand, looking like a righteous and thin cloud: "Brother Ye said thank you to me, helping you is helping myself, we are now in the same boat." Really speaking, you went to Niushou Mountain this time, and you knocked Li Guanshu down, which helped me a lot, and the eldest prince is probably losing his temper with Gong Wei now. ”

Li Ye smiled and said: "Duke Wei's heart is to the eldest prince, because he feels that the eldest prince can be assisted, and the eldest prince also wants to use the other party's court power to win over Duke Wei, although it is not a secret that the two are close, but Li Guanshu planted this time, and the dirty water will be poured on Duke Wei at most, which will have little impact on the eldest prince." ”

Li Yan waved his hand: "I don't care so much, anyway, it's the power of the great prince, which is beneficial to you and me." As he spoke, he smiled, leaned forward and leaned closer to Li Ye for a few minutes, "Brother Ye, tell me honestly, how did Li Guanshu die?

"I've answered you this countless times. Li Ye spread his hands, very helpless, "How Li Guanshu died, I really don't know." As for the man I brought back, he was a charlatan—do you think I don't have the charm to make people serve and take in a few customers?"

"Not really. Li Yan laughed twice, glanced at Li Ye, and finally couldn't hold back, and said the reason, "It's not that since you came back from Shenyun Mountain Taixuanding, the whole person has changed a lot, not to mention anything else, Han Wenyue and Liu Xingshen can promise to contribute to your affairs, and you have already calculated this, which is really surprising." ”

Li Ye didn't care: "Han Wenyue was able to accept Tian Lingzi as a righteous son before, which means that they are interested in you, and this time they are willing to help me with my affairs, but also because I am in the same boat as you, they don't help their own people, do they still want to help others?"

Li Yan pouted: "In my opinion, if you hadn't exposed Li Guanshu's conspiracy and given them the opportunity to suppress Wei Gong, they wouldn't have helped with this." What did you say before, it is the only way to make friends with people, and now it seems that this is indeed the case!"

Li Ye smiled and said nothing, he was always bad at boasting about himself.

In politics, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Li Yan was curious and asked: "Then Brother Ye might as well speculate again, Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue promised to help you with good words, will Your Majesty listen?"

The drinks and snacks had already been served, Li Ye took a sip of grape wine, and said unhurriedly: "There is no need to speculate on this matter, the facts are obvious, Your Majesty will definitely listen." ”

Li Yan couldn't get used to drinking wine from the Western Regions, and he couldn't understand the artistic conception of Wang Han's poem, he still liked the rice wine produced in the original Plains, and he was holding a wine glass to drink, after listening to Li Ye's words, he put down the glass again, and hurriedly asked: "Why are you so sure?"

Li Ye knew that Li Yan didn't like to think about things, so he said bluntly: "You went back to the Eastern Capital, and you also heard the rumors about my father's death, and now the rumors have spread to Chang'an, Han Wenyue only needs to mention this rumor to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will not treat me badly." ”

Although Li Yan doesn't like to think about things, his brain is not stupid, and he immediately reacted when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "This rumor is too vicious, Your Majesty in order to prove to the world that your uncle did not die of the king's suspicion, the best way is to treat you well and reuse you, so I will definitely give you a good official position." ”

Li Ye said solemnly: "Your Majesty is naturally not a person who will be afraid of rumors, but in order to appease people's hearts, he will definitely do so. ”

In front of Li Yan, Li Ye would not count the emperor Li Yi, after all, he did not scold other people's fathers in front of other people's sons. But in his heart, Li Ye knew that if the rumors were just rumors, Li Yi might not pay attention to them, but the rumors were not just rumors, Li Yi would definitely let him go out smoothly in order to cover up his past behavior and whitewash the peace.

Li Yan couldn't imagine this, and after listening to Li Ye's words, he smiled heartily: "Brother Ye, you are really lucky, you can pick up such a bargain." Speaking of which, I don't know what the rumors are that are sacred, I hated them before, but now that I think about it, I should thank them. ”

Li Ye laughed in his heart, Song Jiao had already told him that it was Daomen who spread rumors, and if it was according to Li Yan's statement, he would also be grateful to Daomen.

It's just that with Xu Qingfeng's calculation of his past, Li Ye naturally has no good impression of Daomen, after all, it is an existence that wants to subvert the dynasty, and he colludes with the feudal town very much, which can be called a big trouble for the dynasty, and these people also made him the king of the country in his previous life.

Of course, compared with the previous life, things are different now, Li Ye first got the Daomen Qinglian, and now he was unintentionally pushed by the Daomen in the major event of the debut, which is indeed a great advantage.

I have to say that the luck of the two lives is completely different.

Li Yan drank a few glasses of wine, full of interest, thinking of Li Ye and his "bright future", he couldn't help but have a red face, clapped his hands and said: "Now that there is a Korean appointment inside, and there are princes and others outside, Brother Ye's affairs are already nine out of ten, happy, and white!"

......

Ten days later, Li Ye really took up the official position of real power.

......

In July, according to the Great Calendar, it is autumn season, but the weather is still hot.

After a heavy rain that lasted for three days, the air was much fresher, Li Ye climbed to the second floor of a wine shop at dusk, did not sit on the wine table, but twisted a pot of stone frozen spring, sat on the beauty lean, looked at the passers-by on the street, and took a sip from time to time.

This wine shop has a good name, called a product building, the place is not big or small, the decoration is elegant, quite a bit of literary style, but also facing the river in the city, the environment is quiet, it stands to reason that it is a good place, but the wine sold is really not very good, so there are not many guests.

Li Ye didn't drink for long, someone stepped upstairs and walked straight to him, this person was in a white robe and jade belt, and he looked like a scholar, but he was carrying a long sword, dressed as a swordsman, and he also had a pot of wine in his hand: "Green ant new wine, red clay small stove, late day snow desire, can drink a glass of nothing." The poems of Xiangshan monks are good poems, but the word "green ants" originally said that the newly brewed wine has not yet been filtered, and the green bubbles on the surface of the wine are similar to ants, but now they are used directly as the name of the wine. ”

Bai Juyi, known as Xiangshan Layman.

The man sat down next to Li Ye, one hand resting on the wooden railing, his two legs were placed at will, he looked up and took a big sip of wine, closed his eyes and looked immersed, and finally smacked his lips: "But the wine is really strong enough, I like it." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Ye: "I don't know if Li Shaoyin also likes this green ant wine?"
