At the gate of Wangzhai, Yuan Zai and Wang Xiuzheng are standing under the eaves to welcome guests. [Remember the domain name of this website ｘｘ５20 ．

“My grandpa always has a serious face, Yuan Lang should not take it seriously.” Wang Xiu took advantage of the fact that the guests had not yet arrived, and comforted him softly: “At least I understand that Yuan Lang did not do anything wrong.”
Just now they mentioned that Yang Hua had given away an Anrenfang house. Wang Zhongsi was not very happy. He thought that if Yuan Zai acted out of public interest or to protect his father-in-law, how could he accept such a big gift? It was obvious that he was working for the Yang party in his heart.
“It’s okay, I’m used to it.” Yuan Zai smiled softly and said, “I can understand my father-in-law’s mood. Our methods in this matter are disgraceful.”
“That also saved my grandpa’s life.” Wang Xiu had already heard Yuan Zai’s explanation. If she didn’t break up with the prince, her grandpa would probably die.
"Yes, I am the son-in-law, and I am doing this for my father-in-law. But my father-in-law will inevitably feel that Yang Dang has alienated him and the prince in order to win over him. He is angry in his heart and cannot vent it on outsiders, right? Of course he can only vent it on me. It doesn't matter. Peace and quiet That’s it.”
Seeing Yuan Zai's thoughtfulness, Wang Xiu couldn't help but said: "Then don't be angry with my grandpa. He is used to fighting, rude, domineering, and unreasonable. However, it would be too expensive for my uncle to give me a house."
"Yes, I have sworn that I will never let you suffer with me." Yuan Zai's gentle self-reflection became firm, and he said: "Besides, the fact that I am close to my uncle is also a sign of submission to the saint."
“But grandpa will dislike you even more.”
“Mom, as long as you understand why everything I do is, that’s enough.”
While they were talking, the guests arrived. The couple turned around and saw that several people were coming on horseback in the wind and snow. The two leading men were handsome and bearded men. They were handsome and majestic. The young people behind them were all handsome and showed off their noble demeanor. .
Such a group of people driving horses across the alley attracted the attention of women and girls of all ages on the other side of the long street.
Yuan Zai hurriedly greeted him and called his servants to help him lead the horse.
“You two are so polite, Mr. Xue, hurry up and take the people in. It’s cold outside and you’re not polite enough. You’ll be punished after you enter the hall.”
It may be said that he is not polite, but he arranges his words in a logical manner. He is really a very capable person.
When everyone entered, Wang Zhongsi came forward to greet them personally and said: "Others are avoiding me now as if they were avoiding disaster. It is difficult for the two Yan Gongs to come to visit me today. Only when you are cold and desolate can you show your true courage."
That night, when we talked about Hebei, Xue Bai said that he could introduce him to Yan Guoqing, the judge of Yingtian in Hebei, and he indeed brought someone here today.
Yan Quanqing was recommended by An Lushan and worked under his influence. Coming to see Wang Zhongsi was extremely detrimental to his personal future. Wang Zhongsi thought that he would not come, but he did not expect to come anyway, so he was very surprised.
Everyone sat down in the hall and chatted for a while. Wang Zhongsi asked about the customs and customs of Hebei. Yan Zhenqing was also very interested in the affairs of Longyou and inquired about some details, which may be related to his next official position.
At the end, it was mentioned that Wang Zhongsi might not be able to retain his position as the governor of the four towns. Everyone more or less expressed some concern about the situation in Hebei, but that was the end of it.
It was such a simple exchange that Wang Zhongsi was very interested in. He couldn't help but point at Xue Bai and said: "Yan Gong is a practical official, but when you open your mouth, you only care about your own life and your own life. You, the younger generation, should learn more from your teacher's character."
.Full version????520.????"
He said this simply because he admired the character of the Yan family, and when he thought about being involved in the whirlpool of conspiracy and having to escape, he just felt something in his heart. In fact, he just hated intrigues. Otherwise, Xue Bai could have scolded him for sacrificing his life to save his life.
life?
Xue Bai has his own set of rules of conduct and does not care about these words. He responded: "Yes, I am restless and lofty. Fortunately, I have a teacher to guide me. Otherwise, I will be a treacherous minister."
Hearing this sentence, Yan Zhenqing shook his head, but he didn’t know if it was of any use to him.
"I'm not saying that you are not." Wang Zhongsi sighed: "You helped my uncle to experiment with salt, popularize bamboo paper, and prevent troubles in border towns. It can be seen that you have the ambition to serve the country. It is for this reason that Fang reminds you not to go too far.
Drill camp."
When Yuan Zai saw that Wang Zhongsi could finally see the good governance of Yang Dang, he was quite moved, and subconsciously assumed a sincere attitude of serving the country and the people.
Xue Bai just responded politely: "I did go too far."
He also saw Yuan Zai’s reaction to Yourong Yan, and he just felt that it was unnecessary. How could Yang Dang have any ambition to serve the country?
Only the ambition to make progress.
Although Wang Zhongsi speaks outright and likes to put on a showy face, he also sees the reactions of these two young people.
One person has an interest at stake, but he acts like a gentleman; one person has a matter that has nothing to do with him, but he helps, but he doesn't hesitate to admit that he is impetuous and considers himself a treacherous official.
If he didn't look at people like this, how could he listen to Xue Bai's advice?
After sending Xue Bai and the Yan family out, Wang Zhongsi suddenly pulled Xue Bai's horse and looked at it, saying: "It's too thin.
The fodder you feed must be dry."
“Thank you, General Wang, for your suggestion.”
“Come today, you have nothing to say?”
Both of them are calm, and they have been chatting until now without mentioning the matter of the Hedong Jiedushi.
It was not until the last moment that Wang Zhongsi asked. After all, this matter was more important to him.
"General, don't be anxious." Xue Bai got on his horse and whispered: "What we want to do now is to have fun, drink, and make money."
“I don’t know how.”
“Even if you don’t know how to do it, you have to learn it slowly.”
Xue Bai looked like a general giving orders to the soldiers. He kicked the horse's belly and followed Yan Quanqing in front.
ˆˆNN
Yan Zhai.
I am going back to Hebei soon, and I really can’t let you go, especially Sanniang.”
Yan Quanqing's wife was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, but she has a very docile temperament. Today, the Yan family brothers went out, and she stayed at Yan's house in Changshoufang to talk to Wei Yun, as if she had something to ask.
“Sanniang has reached the age of getting married, what are your plans?”
"Although she is not young, she is still weak, so how can she get married early?" Wei Yun sighed, "We plan to stay at home for a few more years to raise her, so we are not in a hurry."
"Although I'm not in a hurry, it's hard to find a suitable husband." Ms. Cui said, "If I miss it, someone else will snatch it away." Wei Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked into the eyes of her brother and sister-in-law, and suddenly realized something.
“Sister-in-law, what do you mean?”
"By the way, I heard that Xue Bai wanted to take a concubine. Quan??Ben????520.????" Cui didn't answer, but asked: "What's going on?"
There is nothing wrong with a man taking a concubine, but after Wei Yun pondered for a while, he finally came up with an answer.
"Qinglan's original name was Huangfu He, and she was also a poor person. Her family committed treason and was cast into slavery. She and Xue Bai still shared the same hardships. Didn't Alang say yesterday that Li Jingzhong, the servant of the East Palace, had committed a serious crime? This was what happened at that time. The evil eunuch buried them...
After all, Ms. Cui was from a distinguished family. After listening to this story, she couldn't help but think a little more and said in surprise: "So, it seems that Xue Xiaolang's ability is greater than I thought?"
"This child is indeed smart and capable, but speaking of truth, Sanniang has a bad temper, and she is always neither big nor small in front of her brother."
From what Wei Yun meant, Yan Yan can suppress Xue Bai.
Ms. Cui’s eyes fell on the corners of her smiling mouth and she couldn’t help but ask: “What do you think?”
“It was my sister-in-law who mentioned it today. I had never thought of them as brothers and sisters before.”
"You guys are too careless, and you will be a big girl from now on."
Ms. Cui complained a little and felt worried. She was about to go to Hebei with her husband. The only person who couldn't worry was Yan Yan.
On this day, Yan Yan hid in her boudoir and sorted out the story draft. When she came to the hall, she was held in Cui's arms.
“It’s very distressing for our aunt to see such a pair of ignorant parents.”
Yan Yan saw that she was really sad and quickly comforted her: "Auntie is also my mother."
“Good boy.“
Mrs. Cui was deeply moved and thought that Yan Zhenqing and his wife were unreliable, but she had to make preparations in advance to avoid missing this good daughter.
In the evening, Yan Quanqing and others came back. Cui immediately called her two sons and asked, "What do you think of Xue Lang?"
“He really has weird thoughts.” Yan Quanming sighed immediately.
Mrs. Cui had no choice but to look at her youngest son and asked, "What do you think?"
“Xue Lang is free and easy, with the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.” Yan Jiming was very interested and said: “I have never seen a person who seems to be well-behaved but is actually unruly.”
“I didn’t ask you these questions, I asked you about Sanniang.”
“Hasn’t Aniang already thought about it? Why do we still need to ask the child?
"Before, I only heard about how your Thirteenth Uncle accepted an apprentice, how charming he was, and how well he treated Sanniang." Cui sighed: "But these days in Chang'an, I also heard about how romantic he was and how he was with the Guo Kingdom.
Madam...and she has been taking concubines recently."
“Are you worried about this?”
Mrs. Cui then warned: "Before leaving the capital, you should pay more attention to him and see what kind of person he is."

“What are Xue Lang’s plans for tomorrow? How about reading and practicing calligraphy together?”
“I’m afraid there may be inconvenience tomorrow.”
“Where are you going?“
Xue Bai saw the Yan brothers coming back from the backyard and kept questioning him. He was a little confused, but fortunately he was not too shady, so he replied: "Go to Yuzhen Temple."
“Yuzhenguan? Xue Lang originally had a female crown, but he was just a free man to treat Sanniang?”
That’s not the case, there is also a friend who helped polish some manuscripts.”
Yan Quanming and Yan Jiming looked at each other. Because they were inexperienced, they didn’t know whether it was romantic or not.
"That's it." Yan Quanming thought for a while, thought of it, and asked: "Xue Bai has some free time in the future, how about we go to Pingkangfang to stay together?"
Xue Bai was not too surprised when he heard people say that lodging is as easy as eating. He shook his head and said: "It will be inconvenient to ask Mrs. Guo Guo to bring me to see you in the future."
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll go there when you have time.”
"Unfortunately, I have to take a concubine later." Xue Bai refused solemnly, "I really have no time, so the two brothers can stay overnight."
Yan Jiming turned his eyes and felt that Yan Quanming, who wanted to stay overnight, was more romantic and lustful, while Xue Bai looked much nobler, but it was strange to have such a look.
Xue Bai was more willing to chat with them about some official matters. He stayed at Yan's house for a while and found an opportunity to talk to Yan Quanqing: "If An Lushan asks uncle why he met Wang Zhongsi today, the uncle only needs to say that he found out about Wang Zhongsi.
All you have to do is keep the post of Hedong Jiedushi."
“You are calculating people’s hearts.”
Aren't the several families busy here and there just plotting against the east side of the river?
Xue Bai knew that Hedong was important in the past. After talking at Wang Zhongsi’s house today, he understood why Hedong is important.
The so-called Hedong refers to the land east of the Yellow River and west of the Taihang Mountains, including most of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, and part of Inner Mongolia in later generations. It is the land of Longxing in Li Tang. This place has mountains and rivers inside and outside, and the terrain is steep. There is the Great Wall in the north.
There is the Yellow River in the south, Taihang in the east, and the Gobi Desert in the west in addition to the Yellow River.
And due to long-term wars with foreign tribes, the people in Hedong are fierce and fierce. Both Hu and Han, women, and young people can ride and shoot. There are nine surnames of Zhaowu and Shatuo people who are skilled in bows and horses in the territory, which is a good source of troops.
Therefore, even if Wang Zhongsi was only slightly aware of Anlu Mountain's restlessness, he did not dare to let the Hedong Jiedu envoy out easily.
It is difficult to hold on to an official position. Although Li Longji's suspicion of Wang Zhongsi has been eliminated for the most part, he is still worried about Wang Zhongsi's military power.
An Lushan only needs to let Wang Zhongsi leave office to be considered a winner. There will always be a way to get Hedong bit by bit in the future.
Xue Bai has been living a good life recently and could have ignored this matter. Unfortunately, he knew too much. If he ignored it, he would not be able to sleep peacefully.
ˆˆNN
Li Longji was in a good mood these past two days. He would listen to An Lushan's report every day. In fact, he heard almost the same thing about the Khitan and the Xi people, but An Lushan could always flatter him to make him happy and make him willing to summon him.
But on the other hand, Yang Zhao’s reminder also had a slight impact on that day. When the wine was low, Li Longji said in a joking tone: “Why is Hu’er still looking for excuses to stay in Chang’an?
Do you really want to see me depose my adopted son and fail to succeed in the post of governor of Hedong?"
An Lushan was talking vividly about the border situation in the palace, and his eyes widened innocently when he heard what he said.
"He also served as the governor of a town? Hu'er couldn't do it. The sage knew clearly that Hu'er stayed in Chang'an for a while because he was ill."
“Oh? What disease do you have?”
"Hu'er's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the skin on his legs is rotten. The doctor said he has sores and that he has severe diabetes and is staying in Chang'an for treatment."
Speaking of this, An Lushan rarely became sad, and suddenly became more solemn and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can only guard the border town for you for another ten years, and I won't see your Majesty live as long as heaven. Therefore, every time I return to Chang'an,
I all want to see more of His Majesty."
These words were so sincere that Li Longji couldn't help but stand up and said: "Call the imperial doctor. Hu'er is still young, how can he say such depressing words?"
Soon, the imperial doctor rushed to the palace and examined An Lushan carefully, including the sores on his legs.
"Hui Sage, it is indeed a diabetes disease. The so-called fat makes people feel internal heat, and the sweet ones make people feel full, so the qi overflows and turns into quenching thirst." The long-term diabetic disease causes phlegm and blood stasis, which hinders qi.
The blood circulates, causing the body to lose nourishment. Gu Er'an's belly becomes bigger and his skin gets sores."
Li Longji stepped forward and said: "I am over sixty years old and have no symptoms. Why is it that Hu'er is so old?
“Ordinary people cannot compare to the dragon body of a saint.”
"We must treat Hu'er carefully and use the best medicine in the world. I still want to use him seriously. How can I ignore the hero's serious illness?"
On this day, after Anlu Mountain retreated, Li Longji was still sighing and said to Gao Lishi: "General, look at Hu'er, then look at me, the difference is too far."
“The saint learned health-preserving techniques from Master Xuanjing, and lived as long as the sky. He looked younger day by day. The old slave now teaches several younger ones, and when the old slave is gone, he can serve the saint.”
"How come General Gao is also sad?" Li Longji patted Gao Lishi on the shoulder to comfort him, but he was in a good mood. He had rarely been diligent in his work recently, so he summoned Li Linfu again that day.
This time, Li Longji took a closer look and found that Li Linfu's eyes were swollen and his face had an air of aging.
Far inferior to him.
When he thought about Yang Zhao's words again, he became more and more disapproving.
The Tang Dynasty had such a long-lived and wise king, how could it still worry about whether a Hu'er could also hold the moral integrity?
In addition, Li Linfu knew that whether the prince was deposed or not had little to do with him.
“Today I summoned Juro, the latest battle report from Longyou,
Gongyi has the follow-up of Shibao City. Geshuhan handled it very well. There were no mistakes due to Wang Zhongsi's absence, and it was even better than before. "
"Yes, Wang Zhongsi is the righteous son of a saint, and it is inevitable that he will be a little stubborn in his actions and have a lot of worries. Geshuhan is from a barbarian and has a brave nature. He only knows how to be loyal to the saint, so wherever the saint points him, he will hit him."
Li Linfu didn’t just say good things about Ge Shuhan. He changed the topic and said: “Of course, barbarians don’t know etiquette.
Every time Geshuhan won a battle, he would massacre all the people as a demonstration, which would harm the peace of the world. Therefore, the number of enemies killed in the battle report was more than the number of enemies killed by General Wang in the few months he attacked the city.
Li Longji waved his hand and did not think it was a bad habit. On the contrary, he liked this general even more.
This comparison reminded him of the arrogance of Wang Zhongsi, the adopted son, who did not obey the imperial edict, did not attack, and delayed the attack on Shibao City.
When the war is over, I summon Ge Shuhan, An Sishun and others to report their merits and offer prisoners, so that I can meet the fierce generals of Helong."
"According to the decree." Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Linfu said again: "The prestige of the Lord's loyal heir is enough to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. A sage only needs to ask the generals under him to know who does not respect him?"
It was precisely because he knew that the generals in the four towns all admired Wang Zhongsi that he said this,
Sure enough, Li Longji's eyes flashed, and he was more determined to remove Wang Zhongsi from his post as Jiedushi of the Fourth Town...
