Li Ye did not answer Shangguan Allure's question, and Shangguan Allure also knew that he had lost his words, so he confessed and retreated.

The reason why Li Zhen took refuge in Li Ye was, in short, two reasons, one was that Li Ye was worthy of refuge, and the other was that he was in an embarrassing situation and had no way out. For the Confucian scholars who are determined to pay tribute, they are easily unwilling to give up the goal of Jinshi and the first.

Not long after Shangguan Chengcheng retreated, Song Jiao came over to report to him on daily affairs, which also included the placement of Rui Mengmeng, Song Jiao meant to take her with her, on the one hand, it was convenient to take care of, after all, Li Zhen was a big man, not suitable for taking care of the little girl, on the other hand, according to Song Jiao's own words, she felt that Rui Mengmeng was quite spiritual, and wanted to try to cultivate it to see if she could absorb it into the White Deer Cave.

"I have no opinion on this matter, you can just talk to Li Zhen, and it is estimated that he will not have an opinion. Li Ye nodded, Song Jiao is the most outstanding disciple of the generation of Bailu Cave, she can look at Rui Mengmeng, and she is also the creation of the other party.

Speaking of Li Zhen, Song Jiao asked: "The inn, if Li Zhen knows about it, will he have any opinions on you?"

Li Ye glanced at Song Jiao, turned around and said lightly: "Do you really think that Li Zhen doesn't know about the inn, I deliberately arranged it? Even Shangguan Chengcheng can think of a problem, if Li Zhen can't think of it, he is not a great talent that I value." ”

Song Jiao bowed slightly: "This is also true." In this way, even if Li Zhen thought that being expelled from the inn was deliberately arranged by you, so that he would have no choice but to accept your kindness, he didn't care. ”

Li Ye chuckled: "Of course he won't care, I'm so attentive, just to let him enter King An's Mansion, I value him, he should know it." Besides, entering King An's Mansion is a good thing for him, so why should he have a grudge?"

"People are poor and short-minded, and those who are poor and still arrogant and arrogant are not because their hearts are really great and firm, but because they are not poor enough. If you are so poor that you can't even afford to eat, you don't even have a place to live, and you don't even have the shame to face your parents, how can you still have so much ambition? In the final analysis, ambition can't fill your stomach. ”

The reason why Li Ye is so sure, and the reason why he is familiar with Li Zhen, the other party is not a pedantic scholar, according to Li Ye's previous life, this person acts informally, and when he gives advice to Zhu Wen, there is no lack of "insidious" theory.

Song Jiao's eyes were a little weird, she looked Li Ye up and down a few times, and suddenly smiled: "You really make me feel more and more surprised, in this way, it is not closed, only people of the age of the crown can say it." ”

Li Ye disagreed: "Could it be that in your opinion, young people are full of ambitions and ideals, and they simply think that where there is a will, there is a way?"

Song Jiao smiled slightly: "Where there is a will, there are these words, I don't care, everyone has different luck, and they are destined to have different encounters in life, there are many embarrassed and poor people in this world, and they are not all not working hard." ”

Speaking of this, Song Jiao suddenly sighed, as if her eyes were full of autumn water at any time, and she always looked at Li Ye: "You are really different from your senior brother, he has a straightforward temperament and never disdains conspiracy, I now wonder if you are his son after all." ”

Of course, the senior brother in her mouth is Li Xian, and of course she can't take what she says completely seriously.

Li Ye didn't say much, before the crossing, he cultivated to a high level, and the corresponding state of mind was also very free, without so many secular moral constraints, what conspiracy and conspiracy made no difference to him, and the most important thing was to be effective.

The two stood silent for a moment, and Song Jiao asked: "Now, Wang Duo and Lu Yan's party are intensively collecting evidence of Wei Baoheng's dereliction of duty, and want to impeach him, what should we do?"

Li Ye shook his head: "There is no need. If I need to do everything, what else do you want Wang Duo and Lu Yan to do? The Tsing Yi Yamen can't be exposed, now I am just the Shaoyin of Chang'an Mansion, my status and power are limited, and I can't do things beyond my due strength. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "I can set up the Tsing Yi Yamen, Wang Duo and Lu Yan also have the power of the doormen, what the Tsing Yi Yamen can do, their people can also do, and I can't do it." ”

Song Jiao nodded, suddenly smiled, and teased: "I'm afraid I'm worried that they will find out, Kang Chengxun was killed by you, right?"

Li Ye said with a smile: "In the huge Chang'an City, I am just an insignificant little person, my cultivation is limited to ordinary disciples, and a court member like Kang Chengxun died in Luoyang, what does it have to do with me, who would think of me?"

Song Jiao found that Li Ye's smile at this time was really weird.

He is like a wolf hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity, no matter the wind and clouds outside, he is just watching the fire from the other side, and he will not be affected by the pond fish, but those treacherous general trends are all provoked by him, which is of great benefit to him, he only needs to wait for the opportunity and go out to reap the benefits.

Song Jiao couldn't describe Li Ye at this time, the strange feeling she gave her, that was what she didn't have when she followed Li Xian, Li Xian acted upright, frank and upright, and it was always others who secretly calculated him to deal with him, and he was in constant trouble, so that it eventually developed into the difficulty of Bagong Mountain.

In the following days, according to the memories of his previous life, Li Ye "visited" those who were famous in the future and had impressive performances in the situation of the world's great contention, but have not yet made a career in the world. After two months of hard work, he successfully absorbed three more people, and relying on the luck of these people, Li Ye successfully promoted his cultivation to the fifth level of qi training.

Scholars are different from Jianghu monks, it is difficult to get the latter's allegiance, different identities have different personalities, and the three views are different, but for those scholars who need to be out of office, as long as the other party is willing to set a master-slave relationship with Li Ye, the dragon qi in Li Ye's body can immediately gather the other party's luck.

Yes, it's convergence, not absorption. People's luck is different from the Taoist luck in the Tao, people's luck cannot be absorbed, it can only be gathered, that is, it will not affect the other party. This is the principle of gathering crowds and overwhelming people.

Just when Li Ye was in obscurity and secretly accumulating strength, Wang Duo, Lu Yan and Wei Baoheng in the court were already fighting each other, but no one could help anyone for a while, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the imperial court to evaluate the performance of the officials of the feudal town.

The outstanding officials in the world's feudal towns, those who are expected to be promoted and reused by the imperial court, all gathered in Chang'an in mid-October, hoping to be recognized by the officials and prime ministers, and to be able to soar.

The weighty officials in the court have basically stood in line now, and when Wang Duo, Lu Yan and Wei Baoheng are evenly matched, fighting for those new forces who are about to be reused by the court and enter the court has become the key to breaking the balance.

Because of the fierce competition, the personnel of the two factions showed their talents, looked for candidates early, and promised them that they could help them get the approval of the officials. And for the officials of the feudal town, it is also undesirable to get the approval and support of a certain prime minister, and now the atmosphere of government is dim, and it is impossible to get along without forming a gang.

All of a sudden, in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the entire Chang'an City was a lot more lively.

In comparison, King An's Mansion is very clean.

When Li Ye was on duty, he either sat in the yamen or went to the streets to inspect the fire, watching everything that happened in Chang'an City, but not easily getting involved in it, but also had a little interest in watching the scenery and watching the play.

Of course, the contact with Wang Duo and Li Yan is indispensable, but Li Ye, the young Yin of Chang'an Mansion, is not the chief official of Chang'an Mansion, his energy is limited, and no one imposes any task on him, Wang Duo wooed Li Ye, what he values is Li Ye's potential in the future, but Li Yan will come to Anwangfu every once in a while, he has a lot of friendship with Li Ye, and often messes around, even if there is no Li Ye to support him, he will come very diligently.

Li Ye's seemingly peaceful life did not last long, and soon, an unexpected news made him unable to stay out of the matter.

On this day, Li Yan rushed to King An's mansion early, followed by Tian Lingzi, King Pu's face was solemn, and as soon as Wu entered the door, he pulled Li Ye to sit down, and he didn't even have time to drink tea, so he said to Li Ye in a deep voice: "Someone wants to marry the lord of Lijun!"

Li Ye was stunned, he really hadn't heard of this matter: "Who is it?"

"Zhenwu Jiedu makes Li Guochang's eldest son, Li Keyong!" Li Yan was extremely resentful, and seemed to have the same hatred as Li Ye.

Li Keyong, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, dominated the Jin King of the Three Jin Dynasty and Zhu Wen, the two fought for decades, and finally his son Li Cunqiao defeated Zhu Wen's Houliang and established the Later Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains.

Li Ke uses this name, Li Ye is familiar with both before the crossing and before rebirth, especially before the crossing.

After the Huangchao Rebellion, Li Ye ascended the throne in his previous life, and he was not held hostage by Zhu Wen from the beginning, he was a puppet emperor.

Li Ye fell into the hands of Zhu Wen in his previous life, and Li Keyong was actually the culprit, because he defeated the Shence army to pieces, so that Li Ye lost the last reliance to deter Zhu Wen and the princes of the world, which allowed Zhu Wen to successfully learn Cao Cao, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and finally replace him.

"The imperial court has examined the officials of the world, and there are many officials in Zhenwu, when Li Keyong entered Chang'an City, I saw it, but I haven't heard of it before, why did such an accident suddenly happen?" Li Ye frowned and asked Li Yan.

"It's not that Wei Baoheng is in the way!" Li Yan gritted his teeth and said, then looked at Tian Lingzi behind him, and asked the other party to explain to Li Ye in detail - it's not that Li Yan is lazy, but the twists and turns, it is very laborious to explain clearly, and Li Yan can't do it by himself.

Tian Lingzi bowed his hand to Li Ye, and then said in a sharp voice unique to eunuchs: "Some time ago, Wei Baoheng asked Kang Chengxun to leave the town of Hedong, originally to restrain the three towns of Hebei and Li Guochang, especially Li Guochang. But unexpectedly, Kang Chengxun was a straw bag, and he couldn't do this, not to mention, and was forced to leave the town, and what was even more bizarre was that he was assassinated halfway through!"

"Kang Chengxun was assassinated, and Li Guochang was the most suspicious, so no one dared to go out of Zhenhedong again, for fear of being dealt with by Li Guochang. Wei Baoheng saw that Li Guochang couldn't control it, for fear that this matter would become a stain on his politics, so he sent someone to contact Li Guochang and befriend him privately, and Li Guochang didn't want to tear his face with the court now, and it was also to clear the suspicion of assassinating Kang Chengxun, so he responded to Wei Baoheng. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Lingzi paused and glanced at Li Ye, Li Ye nodded and said: "Wei Baoheng has suffered a great loss after losing Li Guanshu and Kang Chengxun, and now he has no upper hand in the face of the joint efforts of the prince and the prince of Lu, and as the ruling prime minister, he is naturally unwilling to sit still." ”

"At this time, the outer feudal town, so that the powerful feudal town is the only one, is undoubtedly the best choice to expand the wings, Zhenwu is known for being unruly, and the imperial edict is also yin and yang, and if Wei Baoheng can 'tame' Zhenwu, let Li Guochang obey his and the imperial court's orders, this is a great achievement for Wei Baoheng, and his prestige has been greatly improved. In the court, Wei Baoheng can stabilize the prince and the Duke of Lu - Wei Baoheng's hand can be described as clever. ”

"His Royal Highness King An is really wise, and when he heard this, he thought of the cause and effect. Tian Lingzi immediately gave a sycophant, and then continued: "Wei Baoheng wants to form an alliance with Li Guochang, so he naturally needs to get a good price, Li Guochang is not easy to fool, he formed an alliance with Wei Baoheng, also in order not to be suppressed by the imperial court, so as to continue to grow bigger and become the hero of the northern domain." ”

Li Ye said: "As the daughter of the clan, Lord Lijun has a very respectful status, plus she is very talented, so she has no picky conditions. If the lord of Lijun and Li Keyong become relatives, Zhenwu will become a relative of the emperor, and his status will rise, and Li Guochang will dominate the north in the future, who will dare to disobey it? It is the three towns of Hebei, and they must bow their heads and be people. ”

"That's it!" Tian Lingzi stomped his feet, not without annoyance, and the eunuch's feminine attitude was fully revealed.

Li Ye frowned and said, "In this way, Wu Yuma is on Wei Baoheng's ship, otherwise he would not agree to this." As I remember, he used to be a wall-rider and didn't have a party with anyone. ”

"That was before, now that the princes and Lu Gong in the court are fighting with Wei Baoheng, and the officials with weight no longer have the possibility of protecting themselves, they must stand in line! Wu Yuma has always been afraid of Wei Baoheng and dare not disobey one or two, and the matter between the county lord and Li Keyong was said by Wei Baoheng in front of the saint, and it was also recognized by the saint - after all, it can solve the problem of Zhenwu's recklessness, and the saint has no reason to disagree, so Wu Yuma does not dare to say anything!" Tian Lingzi was angry, as if someone had robbed his woman.

When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't bear his anger anymore, and gritted his teeth and said: "This Wu Hongshan is really cowardly to the extreme, he knows that the county lord Li and Brother Ye are in love, and he also knows that Brother Ye is close to the prince, and he even threw himself into Wei Baoheng, and is willing to sacrifice the county lord Li for his own power! Poor county lord Li, she is only twenty-eight years old!"

Li Ye fell silent.

For Wu Hongshan, daughters always have to marry, and only who to marry.

If she is really allowed to marry Zhenwu, he will actually benefit more than Wei Baoheng, after all, with an in-law like Li Guochang, no one will dare to blow his nose and stare at him in the future, in addition, this is also a good match, and Li Keyong is extremely talented, he is a genius recognized by the world, and marrying Wu You to him is not a disadvantage.

Seeing that Li Ye was silent, Li Yan couldn't help but be anxious: "Brother Ye, this matter can't be left unattended! Not to mention that you and the county lord of Li are childhood sweethearts, if you really let the county lord of Li marry Zhenwu, then Wei Baoheng is not as stable as Mount Tai in the court?"

Li Ye glanced at Li Yan.

"Who said it wasn't!" Tian Lingzi struck his hands together, "Zhenwu is already powerful, and he is rebellious, if he really stands with Wu Yuma and Wei Baoheng, then Zhenwu's power will inevitably expand again, and the feudal town will be powerful, which will be extremely harmful to the government and the country...... Back then, An Lushan only had a ...... after it became bigger."

Speaking of this, Tian Lingzi covered his mouth and did not continue, the Anshi Rebellion is not easy to mention casually.

Although Tian Lingzi is a eunuch, his knowledge is not bad.

Li Ye stood up: "It is said that Li Keyong is an unborn genius, and he is expected to successfully build a foundation and step into the real world, what is such a character like, I also want to see it!"
