The best is like water

After the imperial meeting, Zhang Yue went to the Marquis Mansion again to visit Jin Rixi, who was seriously ill.

Jin Rixi already knew that his time was running out.

After seeing Zhang Yue, he first drove Jin Shang and others out, and then said to Zhang Yue.

"Why are you still staying in Chang'an?"

Zhang Yue heard this and asked, "What do you mean by Marquis Zhang to leave immediately?"

Jin Rihui forced himself to sit up from the couch. He stared at Zhang Yue's face and said, "Do you want to rebel?"

Zhang Yue was shocked and said, "Why did Marquis Jian say this? How could a certain person be like this..."

Jin Rixi stared at Zhang Yue with a serious face, "Since you have no intention of rebellion, why do you still stay in Chang'an?"

Zhang Yue said bluntly, "I am worried about changes in Chang'an!"

Jin Rihui forced a smile, "As long as the place is not in chaos, what if something happens in Chang'an?"

Zhang Yue was silent when he heard this. He thought for a while and then bowed to Jin Rixi and said, "Marquis Zhang, I understand!"

Only then did a smile appear on Jin Rixi's face.

"You are the pillar of the country...you should take care of yourself..."

Zhang Yue sighed, "The Marquis is the good minister of the country!"

Jin Rixi smiled and said, "If I don't succeed, this big man will have to rely on you and Huo Guang from now on..."

Zhang Yue nodded, feeling quite heavy in his heart.

…

After coming out of the Marquis Mansion, Zhang Yue looked at the Weiyang Palace in the distance and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he sighed involuntarily.

Then he bowed to the Marquis Mansion again before getting in the car and leaving.

The next day, Zhang Yue formally wrote to the emperor requesting to return to the Western Regions.

The emperor was originally unwilling to let Zhang Yue return to the Western Regions at this time, but in the end he reluctantly agreed after the persuasion of the Princess Eyi and Du Ling.

After getting the emperor's permission, Zhang Yue only spent one day preparing before leaving Chang'an again.

"Huan'er, when you encounter problems, always ask Zhang Kun and Wu Zheng for advice..."

Ten miles outside Chang'an City, Zhang Yue was explaining matters to Zhang Huan.

This time when he returned to the Western Regions, Zhang Yue did not take everyone away.

Wu Zheng and 120 elite cavalry were left by Zhang Yue to Zhang Huan.

In addition, Liu Yi also did not return to the Western Regions immediately, but would continue to stay in Chang'an for a while as a representative of the Western Regions.

"Sir, I understand. I hope you will take care of yourself!"

Zhang Huan's face was full of admiration.

Zhang Yue nodded and patted Zhang Huan on the shoulder.

At this time, Zhang Huan took out another piece of luggage that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Zhang Yue.

"Sir, this is a gift prepared by me for my mother and younger brothers and sisters. Please bring it back to me..."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yue happily accepted the gift, looked into the distance, and then said quietly, "Next year you can follow Wu Zheng to return to the Lun Tai!"

Zhang Huan's face showed surprise when he heard this, "Sir..."

Zhang Yue stopped his son's words and said, "Take care of yourself... and keep in touch with the General's Mansion!"

"In addition, Jin Bo and Jin Jian can also interact more!"

Zhang Huan agreed: "My son knows, but what about the eldest princess of Eyi?"

Zhang Yue said, "Don't pay attention to her. If she dares to provoke, call her back..."

Then Zhang Yue explained in detail Zhang Huan's studies and martial arts training.

Seeing that it was getting late, he said to Zhang Huan, "Go back!"

Then he told Liu Yi and Wu Zhengdao, "I'll leave the matter of Chang'an to you two!"

"Don't worry, Lord..."

After the two agreed, Zhang Yue looked in the direction of Chang'an and silently sighed, "The wind is blowing!"

Then he jumped on the imperial chariot and led many personal guards to the west.

Liu Yi looked at Zhang Yue and others walking away and sighed: "Let's go, come back!"

Zhang Yue's departure suddenly made him feel that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.

Now he is the top person in charge of the Western Regions in Chang'an.

…

At General Zuo's Mansion in Chang'an City, Shangguan Jie asked Shangguan An, "Has he left?"

Shangguanan replied, "Already gone!"

Shangguan Jie took a long breath after hearing this and showed a relaxed expression on his face.

"Finally gone!"

He took a sip of tea and sighed.

Zhang Yue was in Chang'an these days, so his nerves had to be tense all the time, and Zhang Yue did not dare to act rashly.

Shangguan An naturally felt the same way. He sat down to calm down and then asked, "Can we start taking action?"

Naturally, what Shangguan An asked about was about his daughter Shangguan's title of queen.

Shangguan Jie thought for a while and then said, "I will inform Lord Gai and Duke Sang that they will come to the government in three days to discuss matters..."

Shangguan An couldn't express the joy in his heart, "Sir, my son will go and do it now..."

Shangguan Jie nodded and said nothing.

Although Zhang Yue left Chang'an, he still felt vaguely uneasy.

Although Zhang Yue left, Xinyang Hou Liu Yi still stayed in Chang'an.

Judging from the emperor's behavior these days, this Xinyang Marquis also has an extraordinary status in the emperor's heart.

There were even rumors in the palace that the emperor wanted to make Liu Yi the vassal king.

As an auxiliary minister, Shangguan Jie naturally knew that this was just nonsense, but it also reflected Liu Yi's status in the emperor's heart.

Shangguan Jie raised the tea cup in his hand, turned it around, and said softly, "I hope you won't block someone's way, otherwise..."

Three days passed quickly, and the eldest princess of Eyi and Sang Hongyang arrived at General Zuo's Mansion on time as agreed.

"How are you doing today, Mr. Gai?"

Shangguan Jie greeted the eldest princess of Eyi with a smile on his face.

After a period of dating, Shangguan Jie actually didn't like the eldest princess of Eyi at all, but for the sake of his granddaughter's title of queen, he still ostensibly treated the eldest princess of Eyi.

Princess Eyi pretended to be reserved and smiled, "That place is comparable to General Zuo... I would like to congratulate General Zuo in advance..."

After her hard work in the past few days, the emperor finally released Ding Weiren from Tingwei prison, so the eldest princess of E was in a very good mood today.

Shangguan An felt happy when he heard this, but his eyes looked at Shangguan Jie.

Shangguan Jie smiled slightly, "I still need to worry about the matters in the palace, Lord Gai..."

The eldest princess of Eyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Zuo, there will be good news in less than ten days..."

At this point, she looked at Shangguan An, "But we can't forget General Zuo's promise..."

Shangguan Jie said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gai, if this can be accomplished, a certain father and son will jointly name themselves Ding Jun and ask for the title of Lord Sang!"

Sang Hongyang also said at this time, "Don't worry, Lord, I will abide by what I promised to General Zuo!"

"Princess, please don't relax, lest you have a long night and lots of dreams!"

The eldest princess of Eyi smiled and said, "I am naturally not as good as the two princes in matters outside the palace, but I can still take charge of matters in the palace..."

Sang Hongyang smiled and said, "That's good, but now that Xinyanghou has been in and out of the palace many times, I'm afraid it will have a big impact on His Majesty..."

Princess Eyi heard this and said disdainfully, "After Liu Yi is just a sinner, it is not his turn to interfere in the affairs of the palace..."

It can be seen from the words that the eldest princess of Eyi does not take Liu Yi seriously at all.

Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang looked at each other helplessly...
