Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 308 Strict Net

The front office of Jingzhao Mansion was extremely busy with people coming and going.

It was very quiet in Shaoyin's official residence. Du Youlin held a volume in his hands and read it, then dozed off unconsciously.

"Shao Yin, Yushi Xue is here to ask about the case at Jingyu Temple."

Hearing the announcement outside the door, Du Youlin woke up, hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth, straightened his beard, welcomed Xue Bai in, and said with a smile: "I came just in time, I have good news for you, Wu Lang has finally made up for the loss. "

"Where to serve?"

"Jincheng County Lieutenant."

"It's a good location." Xue Bai responded casually and said, "It is one of the twenty counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion. The last county captain was Cui Yi, the son of Cui Qiao?"

"Yes, Wu Lang finally has the same official position as the talents of the Cui family in Qinghe, but he is really far behind you." Du Youlin sighed, looking at Xue Bai with more and more eager eyes.

Xue Bai asked: "My uncle is appointed as the Shaoyin of Jingzhao, and Wu Lang is appointed as an official under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion. Are you not afraid of being criticized?"

Du Youlin raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise: "Didn't you arrange it?"

"For Wu Lang to be able to fill the gap so quickly, the officials thought it was because of the respect of my uncle and me, but I didn't ask about the specific official position."

"Seeing that you know so much about Jincheng County, I thought it was you." Du Youlin muttered, lowering his head and reading the news sent by the officials again.

The reason why Xue Bai knew Jincheng County was because of his daily efforts. In addition, he had indeed paid attention to this place.

The real name of Jincheng County is Shiping County. Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty sent Princess Jincheng there when she married Tibetans, so it was renamed Jincheng County. The county seat is ninety miles away from Chang'an, and there is a place called "Maweipo" more than twenty miles northwest of it.

"It turns out to be Yang Guozhong." Du Youlin said, "I just saw the sentence 'recommended by Beijing and Yin' behind it."

"It's not surprising, he has always been good at dancing."

Du Youlin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In these years, during every festive season, he has never been less polite. It's really..."

Xue Bai said he came for Huaixiang's case, but he was talking about the promotion of his cronies through Du Wulang's mending the problem.

He planned to use the power struggle to move Yuan Jie, Du Fu, Huangfu Ran and others back to the capital, and appoint officials he selected from all over the world who were good at punishing Qiangu to go to Hedong to preside over the matter of salt discussion.

Just as he was talking, Pei Chen came to the door to ask for a meeting.

At that time, Pei Kuan was transferred back to Chang'an when Fan Yang was appointed as the Jiedu Envoy. He thought he was returning to the imperial court to pay homage to the prime minister. Unexpectedly, he ended up serving as an official to save his life under the pressure of Li Linfu. Pei Chen stayed in the position of Cao Junjun in Jingzhao Facang for many years. .

Now, Xue Bai has a higher official position, and this time he is recommended as the judge of Yingtian in Taiyuan Prefecture. It is sad to think about Xue Bai's past before he became an official.

"I'm here today to thank Xue Lang." Pei Chen, who is now over thirty years old, has a long beard, is calm and graceful, said: "At the beginning of next month, I handed over the errand of Jingzhao Mansion and went to Taiyuan to take office. .”

"Is your father okay?"

"Now I have returned to Dongdu to rest in peace." Pei Chen said: "My grandfather was telling me an interesting story the day before yesterday. Back then, Genu dreamed of a tall man with fair skin and beard approaching him, so he forced my grandfather to do it. Now it seems that the person in Ge Nu’s dream should be Zhang Bian.”

Xue Bai said: "There are many important ministers in the court who are tall, long-bearded, and elegant. Sooner or later, Genu's dream will come true, no matter who it is."

"What Xue Lang said is true." Pei Chen said: "I have been an official in Chang'an these years, but I have clearly understood that those who do not care about their official position can only fulfill their responsibilities for the people and the country, and have a clear conscience."

The reason why Xue Bai recruited Pei Chen was because of his Wenxi Pei family's identity and his father's connections when he was the military governor of Fan Yang. I didn't expect him to have such a big heart, so I couldn't help but take a higher look at him.

Pei Chen came over just to say hello. After talking for a while, he stood up. Before leaving, he smiled and said, "By the way, I have to congratulate Xue Lang for getting married soon. It's a pity that we, the sixth mother of the Pei family, don't have this blessing."

"Brother Shiming, stop teasing me."

After smiling at each other, Pei Chen left the official residence and walked to the Sixth Cao of Jingzhao Mansion.

When he arrived at the courtyard in front, he met Luo Xishi and Yan Wu.

"Pei Cang Cao."

"Luo Yushi, Yan Facao."

Seeing the gift, the two sides passed by each other. Luo Xishi looked back, with a trace of sneer on his face, and said, "Did you know that his father and son almost died in my hands back then?"

Yan Wu looked at Pei Chen's figure with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Luo Xishi said: "At that time, the right minister dreamed that Pei Kuan wanted to replace Xiang, and he had already ordered me to take Pei Kuan to jail. The old man saw the opportunity and took the initiative to resign."

"So that's it, right now the sun is at its peak."

"It's the same today."

Luo Xishi's memorial has been handed over. The purpose of coming here today is to attack Jingzhao Mansion and be prepared to search for evidence and detain witnesses at Zhang Bian's home.

While walking on the road, Yan Wu suddenly asked: "Luo Yushi, do you know that my grandfather was also dismissed from office by the right minister?"

Luo Xishi knew the whole story of Li Linfu's frame-up of Yan Tingzhi, and said, "How come you don't know?"

"In that case, Yushi Luo is willing to use me?"

"Haha." Luo Xishi smiled and said: "If you have a grudge with the right Prime Minister, you can't use it. How many people in the court can use it?"

Yan Wu was not a person who liked to laugh, so he was amused after hearing this joke.

"I understand you." Luo Xishi said: "You are not someone who will delay your future because of past events. You are a talented person who has served his sentence."

While talking, the two of them arrived in front of Du Youlin's official residence.

Luo Xishi didn't say hello, pushed the door straight in, and said in surprise: "Xue Yushi is also there, just in time, and he also said that the court has made a conclusion on Huaixiang's case. Du Shaoyin still has some personal and material evidence in his hand. , please hand it over."

Du Youlin stood up and asked, "The court has made a conclusion. What kind of conclusion is it?"

"The memorial from the Censor's Office has been submitted, and the Right Prime Minister has approved it."

"But I don't know, has the saint reviewed it?"

Luo Xishi only found it funny and asked: "When have you ever seen a saint worry about such a small case?"

Du Youlin was surprised, turned around, glanced at Xue Bai, and murmured: "What if, the saint transfers the memorial to Zhongshumen to read..."

"I want you to hand over all the evidence in your hand." Luo Xishi said impatiently, "By the way, I know that Yang Guozhong wants to deal with me. Don't let him take advantage of you. Whether it is Yushitai or Jingzhao Mansion, they are still here." It’s not his turn to have the final say.”

Suddenly, someone outside the hospital said something loudly and in a triumphant tone.

"Then who has the final say?"

Luo Xishi turned around and saw Yang Guozhong, wearing a purple robe, walking over like a dog.

It's like the saliva pot commonly used by the Right Prime Minister is wrapped in a layer of purple cloth.

"Whoever has Yang Zhongcheng's phlegm in his mouth has the final say."

No matter how thick-skinned Ren Yang Guozhong was, he was furious when he heard this.

Luo Xishi couldn't help but feel proud. He was a confidant and old minister of the Prime Minister's Office. As for the spitting pot, no matter how high his official rank was, he only had this ability. In the Yushitai, he was able to oust Yang Guozhong, the Yushi Zhongcheng, and in Jingzhao Mansion, he had bribed Yan Wu.

In the past, the "Luo Congji Network" dared to deal with even the Prime Minister, so that Chang'an City did not know the name of Jingyin, and now the "Luo Congyan Network" is no different.

"Get it!" Yang Guozhong shouted violently.

Luo Xishi turned around and saw Yan Wu glanced in Xue Bai's direction.

"Yang Zhongcheng thinks this is... ah!"

Before Luo Xishi finished speaking, Yan Wu kicked him hard on the crook of the knee.

Under the severe pain, Luo Xishi fell to his knees. Before he could struggle, a pair of iron-like hands pressed his arm, twisted it hard, and removed his arm with a "click".

He has the name "Luo Qian" for nothing, and his hands are far less powerful than Yan Wu.

"Yan Wu? What are you doing?!"

"You forced me to create an unjust case. Please plead guilty!"

Luo Xishi couldn't believe that Yan Wu actually betrayed him, just to vent his anger on the dead Yan Tingzhi? But Yan Wu shouldn't be such an unrealistic person.

"You? If you offend the right prime minister, the consequences will be much worse than your grandfather..."

"The right prime minister is like the sun in the sky?" Yan Wu leaned in Luo Xishi's ear and said, "You don't even know that Pei Chen has been promoted."

"You...short-sighted!"

"Idiot, I never thought of being a cool official like you."

Yan Wu really couldn't explain the reason for his betrayal to Luo Xishi, because he had never cared about Luo Xishi. Although he was still young and had a low official position, he looked at Luo Xishi like an ant.

His ambition has always been hidden in his heart, and he has never told anyone about it. Only on the day he met Xue Bai, Xue Bai asked him -

"Do you want to go to Lingyan Pavilion?"

At that time, Yan Wu suddenly looked up at Xue Bai with shock in his eyes.

"Make a friend and I will recommend you to Nanzhao."

"it is good!"

There is no need to say anything more between Yan Wu and Xue Bai, these two sentences are enough.

As for what Luo Xishi said when wooing him...he didn't even bother to listen.

The chick knows the ambition of the swan.

At this time, Luo Xishi was still in disbelief and wanted to ask what happened.

"Yan Wu, have you been bewitched by Xue Bai..."

"Snapped!"

Yan Wu said no more and slapped Luo Xishi until his neck twisted.

The blow was so severe that Luo Xishi immediately thought of Yan Wu, an eight-year-old child who smashed his father's concubine's head with an iron spine, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word.

Talking about "Luo Cong", in front of a truly ruthless person, you can only tremble.

Yang Guozhong laughed loudly, stepped forward, spat in Luo Xishi's face, and said, "Do you know where you lost? Both the saint and the right minister think you are too stupid... drag it on."

Luo Xishi was dragged down in a daze. Where his eyes fell, Xue Bai stood there calmly, as if he had nothing to do with the matter.

But he suddenly thought of the scene when he took Ji Wen away in the winter of Tianbao's fifth year. Ji Wen was so angry and unwilling at that time... exactly the same as he was now.

Luo Xiangji.com eventually ended up with the same fate...

~~

Fuxingfang, Yuzhen Temple.

On this day, the discussions in the Taoist Enlightenment Hall were all worldly matters.

"This matter must be Xue Bai's handiwork. Only a spitting pot is capable."

Jiao Nu stood in the hall and was talking about the way she saw Xue Bai deal with Ji Wen when she followed him. In fact, she couldn't understand it at the time, but she slowly understood it later.

This time, Luo Xishi was exiled, and it would be difficult for the Right Prime Minister's Office to cause more unjust imprisonment in the future.

"But I still don't understand, where did Xue Lang harm Luo Xishi?" Li Jilan asked.

"The saint is tired of Luo Xixi's frame-up methods." Li Tengkong said: "Xue Bai has taken a step back and made the results of his case seem even more clumsy. The saint is even more disgusted with it. In addition, he has offended too many people. I Then I advised my grandpa to throw out Luo Xishi so that the common people could complain."

"I see, you are so awesome, Tengkongzi."

Li Jilan likes poetry, poetry, and poetry. He doesn't seek a deep understanding of these common affairs, but just listens to the excitement.

She was sitting on the futon, never willing to cross her legs, and placed her legs together on one side, leaning on the sleeping Mian'er. She was very comfortable lying down half-lying, and she didn't look like a Taoist priest at all.

Li Tengkong paced and muttered: "Except for Luo Cong, although it is very satisfying, the prestige of the prime minister's office has also fallen to the bottom. The saint is afraid that he will depose my grandpa at any time... This time, Xue Bai tricked me Together."

"What should I do?"

"It seems that the prime minister's office has suffered a loss, but it is not necessarily bad to suffer a loss now." Li Tengkong said: "My grandfather wants to talk to Xue Bai face to face..."

"Take a break, come here." Li Jilan suddenly waved.

"Ok?"

Li Jilan reached out and took off two hairs from Li Tengkong's shoulders and asked, "Have you lost your hair recently?"

"Ah? Is there any?"

"I think it's better for you to get less involved in these things. If you worry about too many things, your hair will fall easily."

"You just know how to dress up."

Li Tengkong raised his hand slightly and touched the hair in the lotus crown.

She still has a lot of hair, unlike Princess Li Shiniang and Princess Xianyi who still have to buy hair... Because hairpins were popular in the Tang Dynasty, many women wanted to add wigs and bought them from Korean women or poor women among the people.

Because of Li Jilan's interruption, Li Tengkong did not mention that the place where Li Linfu wanted to meet Xue Bai face to face was at Xue Bai's wedding.

Not long after, Xue Bai arrived.

……

"Congratulations, you've made another great move."

"How to say?"

"With the Jingyu Temple case, you got rid of Luo Xishi and beat up my grandfather. He has promised to write a letter to break up with An Lushan after meeting Prince Qing." Li Tengkong said, "You make arrangements. When the time comes, My grandpa wants to talk to you face to face."

Xue Bai looked at her face and said, "Will you come?"

Li Tengkong was talking seriously. Unexpectedly, he suddenly asked this question and turned his head.

"If I don't go, I'm afraid you won't let me step down."

Xue Bai didn't want her to come to his wedding, so he opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally said: "Your grandpa goes to a place with so many people...are you not afraid of being assassinated?" Li Tengkong then glared at him.

She didn't want to talk to him about these trivial matters anymore, and said, "I heard from Master that Zhang Bian has submitted a letter to move Mr. Mojie to be a member of Zhongshushe, and move your teacher to be a doctor in the Treasury Department?"

"Can the right Prime Minister agree to this?"

"No." Li Tengkong said in a business-like manner: "How long has it been since your teacher became a member of the Communist Party of China?"

"It's not as fast as Yang Guozhong's promotion."

"I suspect more and more that you don't want to let the phase dispute settle, and use my grandfather and Zhang Bian to compete to recommend someone close to you."

Xue Bai smiled and said: "Then I should let myself move to the official position first."

Li Tengkong became serious and said, "You should know that I hope to encourage you to cooperate with my grandfather...as you said, to save the Tang Dynasty from disaster."

After all, she, a female Taoist priest, is different from politicians. Xue Bai and Li Linfu are still stabbing each other secretly, but she is the only one who is serious and patient, hoping that they can reach a consensus.

What was originally a very slim thing gradually seemed to be possible.

Xue Bai looked into her clear eyes. Finally, he nodded and said, "I know."

~~

After meeting Li Tengkong, Xue Bai sat in Yuzhen Temple for a while, wondering why Wang Wei hadn't come yet.

He had something to say to Wang Wei.

Although the official rank of Zhongshu Sheren is not high, it is a crucial position. Although Zhang Bian has recommended it, Wang Wei himself has to do his best... As the Wang family of Taiyuan, he is a poet who is famous all over the world. The relationship between Princess Yuzhen should be able to win this position.

At that time, Yan Zhenqing can take a step forward with the help of Wang Weishi.

After waiting for a long time, the boy named Wuchen beside Wang Wei hurried over.

"Xue Lang!"

"Brother Mojie is not here, but something happened?"

"Alang can't come to keep the appointment. Please send someone to inform Xue Lang."

Wuchen fell to the ground, handed over a letter with both hands, and said: "The old lady at home has passed away, and Alang has rushed back to Wangchuan to stay."

Xue Bai was stunned for a moment and took the letter and looked at it.

Wang Wei's handwriting was scrawled, saying that his mother had passed away, and the appointment with Xue Bai for an official position had been abandoned. He only wanted to stay in mourning, and regretted that he could not attend Xue Bai's wedding banquet. Finally, although men should seek merit, merit is not the most important thing in life.

After reading this letter, Xue Bai was silent for a long time.

He hurried out of Yuzhen Temple and rode his horse to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an to see Wang Wei off. However, looking around, he saw that the world was vast and Wang Wei's carriage and horse were no longer on the official road.

Things don't go as one wishes, and things always go wrong in unexpected places.

Therefore, on this day, Xue Bai's mood was a little different. He no longer stared at the old fox in the court and wondered which one he would defeat. Instead, he spent as much time as possible to spend time with the people around him before the wedding.

~~

Shaoyangyuan.

Li Heng sat down next to Zhang Ting and said, "I heard that Xue Bai is getting married?"

"You ask me?" Zhang Ting said, "It seems that I have other channels for information."

She has a bad temper recently, but unfortunately, as the state heir, Li Heng has no temper towards her in private.

If he had the power, he could give her the position of Crown Princess to make her happy.

"Huh?" After a while, Zhang Ting saw Li Heng didn't speak, glanced at him sideways and said, "You want to go?"

"If there is no funeral banquet, it would be better to go to the wedding banquet."

"Xue Bai's official position is too low, and there is no reason for a dignified prince to come and congratulate him."

Li Heng pondered and said: "I have had many conflicts with him. If I can go and send a congratulatory gift in person, I can show my demeanor as the crown prince of a country. What's more, he is the adopted brother of the imperial concubine. This is also a manifestation of my filial piety to my father." .”

"The imperial concubine's adopted brother?" Zhang Ting said leisurely: "He is one generation higher than us."

She put her finger into her son's mouth and let him suck it, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, you say? Xue Bai is two generations higher than you."

"Stop laughing at my father, it will be fatal for others to hear you."

"You want me to ask the saint?"

"If I go, I'm afraid it will be thought that I want to win over my subordinates again."

"It's the same if I go." Zhang Ting said, "Let your daughter go."

Li Heng nodded, stood up and told Li Fuguo, "Ji'er wants to see my sister, can you ask Princess Hezheng to come?"

"Here."

After watching Li Fuguo go away, Li Heng still stood there in deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhang Ting asked.

"It's still not as useful as Li Jingzhong." Li Heng sighed.

"This chamberlain is not stupid, he is very smart." Zhang Ting said: "But he is not loyal and dedicated enough?"

"good."

As the couple talked, the topic quickly moved away from the servant.

Zhang Ting said: "Yue Tu is getting older and it's time to get married."

"Yes." Li Heng murmured and sighed: "Xue Bai is getting married... I originally felt panicked when I thought that my daughter might marry him, but now I feel relieved. Is there a suitable candidate for Ting Niang?"

"I have been thinking about this recently, and there are two candidates." Zhang Ting said, "The first is Liu Tan, the son of Liu Cen, the scholar of Zhongshe. Liu Cen has two sons. The eldest son Liu Cheng married a lady from the state of Qin, and the second son Liu Cheng married a lady from the state of Qin. She is Liu Tan, who is twenty-two years old, handsome, both civilized and military, I originally chose her for my third sister, but my third sister will not marry because of her filial piety..."

Li Heng said: "Being a sister-in-law with Aunt Yang Ba?"

This generation may be said to be chaotic, but in fact it is not chaotic. After all, the Yang sisters are still young.

"It's always a good thing to marry into the Yang family."

Li Heng sighed. His eldest son Li Chu married the daughter of the Korean lady of the Yang family, but he didn't see much support from the Yang family.

"Do you have another candidate?"

"Yes." Zhang Ting said slowly: "The son of An Lushan..."

Li Heng didn't wait for her to speak, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Impossible."

……

Over there, Li Fuguo went to beg and handed over some gold and silver. Finally, he persuaded several palace officials to ask Gao Lishi to allow Princess Hezheng to enter the palace.

These fine gold and silver pieces were Zhang Liangdi's dowry.

After he finished this matter and saw that he had some free time, he walked to Shangyi Bureau.

In the distance, a group of palace maids were drying the papers stored in the palace. One of them had a good appearance and was serious about his work.

"Little moth."

Li Fuguo stuck his head at the Yimen and said, "Come here."

The palace maid named Xiao Mozi raised her head, and when she saw him, she couldn't help but smile. Her originally fair face suddenly became radiant, and she looked like a great beauty when she smiled.

"Brother Dog."

"You even called me dog. As I said, the prince named me Fu Guo."

"This name is too big." Xiao Mozi said, "I don't want Brother Gou'er to have such a big name."

Li Fuguo said: "Why?"

"My grandma said that if the name is too big, people can't hold it down and it will cause trouble."

Li Fuguo scratched his head, but he didn't care what his name was. He looked around and took out a bracelet from his sleeve.

"For you."

The little moth was startled and said: "Such an expensive bracelet, is it a gift from the prince?"

"Yes, I am in the palace and have no place to use money, but the prince always gives it away, so you can keep it."

"Brother Gou'er, ever since you were transferred to Shaoyang Hospital, I've always felt uneasy."

"It's okay." Li Fuguo said: "I won't fight or rob you. Just obey and do things honestly. When you are released from the palace, we will go back to the hometown together."

"That's still a few years away."

"It's okay, I promised you, brother, to take good care of you."

The young man whose real name was Li Gou'er always said this, and then stood there blankly.

Back then, when he accompanied her to the palace, he didn't even know what entering the palace meant.

"gone."

"Brother Gou'er." Xiao Mozi then remembered to give him the shoes she had collected.

Li Fuguo felt hot and turned back to Shaoyang Courtyard...

And in the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Mozi was taken out of the palace together with several other palace ladies.

"This is where?"

"Baisunyuan."

The chamberlain who was walking in front looked back and said with a smile, "You are blessed. The saint selected the palace servants and rewarded them to the Prince of Jianning. You are talented and handsome, so you were selected."

The little moth was startled, stopped, and immediately cried.

~~

"Why are you crying?"

Li Heng stretched out his hands to help Li Fuguo up, but he couldn't help him for a moment, so he had to say: "I will give you as many maids as you want in the future."

"Your Highness, I don't want anyone else... I entered the palace just for the little moth, I..." Li Fuguo burst into tears, knelt in front of Li Heng, and begged bitterly: "She was taken away, and I don't know where she went... Please Your Highness, please help this slave... Please, Your Highness!"

"Ok."

Li Heng reluctantly agreed, and sighed and said, "You also understand my current situation. I can only do my best."

"Your Highness, you are so kind!" Li Fuguo was so anxious that he banged his head on the ground so hard that his forehead was covered with blood.

Fortunately, that night, the prince asked Zhang Liangdi to find out the news.

"The saint rewarded her to King Sheng. I have asked Tan'er to ask for it from King Sheng and placed her in the Prince's Mansion of Jianning County... Don't worry, it's too late."

"Great! Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!" Li Fuguo was overjoyed, and he quickly knelt down and asked hesitantly: "Your Highness, can you ask the King of Jianning County to let her go back to her hometown? My slave..."

"Who dares to release the palace concubine who was rewarded by the saint?" Li Heng said helplessly: "But don't worry, Tan'er will definitely ensure her safety. When the time comes, I will make the decision to let you eat. Can you give me She enjoys endless glory and wealth.”

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Fuguo burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.

Li Heng was able to help him up, patted his shoulder hard, and said earnestly: "After this incident, don't you understand? You can't be without power for a day. If you don't have power, anyone can step on you. "

"My slave understands."

Only then was Li Heng satisfied, and he dared to discuss more confidential matters with Li Fuguo.

"You try to find out, when will my sworn brother Wang Zhongsi return to Chang'an? Will he go to Xue Bai's wedding? This matter is very important to you and me."

"Here."

After Li Fuguo received the order, he was more dedicated than before.

He immediately went to find a chamberlain who was responsible for sweeping the floor of Hongwen Hall and asked him to find out the information for him.

"Dog? Are you crazy? How could I do such a thing?"

"In the eighth year of Tianbao, after Concubine Yang Shu passed away, you stole her Yangzhou Water Heart Mirror. If I found out about this, what would happen to you?"

"It's not like you don't know that my mother-in-law is sick..."

"I don't care!" Li Fuguo yelled urgently.

"Dog, you..."

"There must be someone in Hongwenguan Zhengzi who has good relations with Xue Bai. You should go find them and find out..."

~~

Time passed little by little, and it was almost March 20th.

Xue Bai's wedding was approaching, but Wang Zhongsi had not returned to the court yet. It was said that he wanted to settle everything in Hedong before setting off... From this, it may be seen that Wang Zhongsi was willing to pacify Nanzhao in his heart.

Xue Bai originally hoped to meet Wang Zhongsi before getting married, but then he thought, it would be better to get married in peace first, and then worry about these messy state affairs.

But just before the wedding, on his way back home from the imperial office, someone suddenly called him from a distance.

"Xue Bai!"

Xue Bai looked back, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Gao Sanwulang, when did you come back?"

"Just entered Chang'an! The general is still behind, I'll go ahead and let you have a wedding drink..."

　Please give me a monthly pass at the end of the month, please give me a monthly pass~~
