Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 309 Welcome

Chang'an Ancient Road is full of spring, with catkins flying all over the sky like heavy snow.

Yan Jiming rode on the side of the carriage, occasionally looking back.

"Twelve Master, what are you looking at?" Ms. Cui asked as she opened the curtain.

"The kid didn't see anything." Yan Jiming responded, still looking a little distracted.

"Then you get in the car and talk to my mother. We are almost in Chang'an and the carriage is no longer bumpy." Mrs. Cui said: "I made you so tall, so it would be better for you to have a pair of long legs and be ridden by a horse." Crooked."

Yan Jiming didn't like to hear such nagging, but fortunately, Cui only nagged him this sentence, and everything after that was about Yan Yan and Xue Bai's wedding.

"Did you listen to what your aunt said in Weicheng? I envy me for having a son-in-law who is the number one scholar. After all, Sanniang was raised by me since she was a child, so she should be considered my daughter. The only drawback is that your grandfather refuses to leave his official duties and come back."

"Yes, my child listened."

"But this marriage really has to be me. When I came to Chang'an two years ago, I saw that Sanniang and Xue Bai were in love, and it turned out to be true. I remember when Sanniang was a child, she said she wanted to find a husband like a candied haws. Now she can find one for her. Already..."

Yan Jiming didn't know where Xue Bai was like candied haws. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, he opened the car curtain and took a look behind him.

Mrs. Cui was displeased, patted her son and said, "What on earth were you looking at during this journey?"

"Someone is coming to pick you up from the front."

"See if my mother's hair is messed up. Use a handkerchief to wipe your face. You are such a clumsy boy. You really should bring a daughter."

At the end of the official road is the majestic Chang'an City. At the pavilion passing by, Xue Bai has dismounted and is waiting there.

"Xue Lang, you're all right." Yan Jiming laughed and stepped forward, patted Xue Bai on the shoulder and said, "You will be my brother-in-law soon, please call me brother."

"Brother, you have worked hard all the way."

"Brother, why are you so polite... Wulang is here too, why are you so downcast?"

"Well, I will be leaving Chang'an to take up my post in a few days."

Du Wulang still had a lot of bitter things to pour out, but they ignored him and faced Cui.

Ms. Cui slowly walked out of the car and boarded the car, and looked at Xue Bai, her eyes full of approval. She was much more satisfied with this son-in-law than Wei Yun, because she not only liked Xue Bai's talent and appearance, but also saw that he could provide The help brought by the entire extended family.

"I met my aunt."

"We're getting married soon, so just let Sanniang call me 'A'Niang'."

Although Xue Bai was thick-skinned, he was quite embarrassed when he heard this.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly came from the west, and the leader shouted hello on his horse.

"Yan Twelve Lang, long time no see!"

Xue Bai and Yan Jiming turned to look at the same time. When they saw who was coming clearly, Yan Jiming said before the horses came close: "That is Anqing Zong, named Renxing, the eldest son of An Lushan... Oh, I know you don't Xi'an Lushan, but after all, he is Fan Yang Jiedushi appointed by the imperial court, my grandpa's official, so it is not too rude."

"I know." Xue Bai said: "I also want to help An Lushan get promoted."

While they were talking, An Qingzong had already rode up to them. He was in his twenties and had a Sogdian appearance. Although he was not thin, he was not as obese as An Lushan. It can be seen that An Lushan's obesity was probably due to acquired diseases. Symptoms.

"Mrs. Yan, you are so polite. Do you think this is Xue Lang? I have heard about Xue Lang's reputation for a long time, and today I finally meet him."

An Qingzong came forward to see Li, his manners were gentle and elegant, and he was completely behaving like a young master of the Han family.

Xue Lang returned the salute and said with a smile: "According to my friendship with your father, I will be two generations older than you."

An Qingzong was a little embarrassed and said with a helpless smile: "Everyone has his own business. Let me be friends with Xue Lang as equals, okay?"

If he admits it shamelessly, it will make Xue Bai look down upon him. It is this trace of embarrassment that shows that he has a sense of shame and is not an unscrupulous person like his father.

"I was rude, brother Renxing, don't blame me."

After hearing this "Brother Renxing", An Qingzong looked happy and said: "Xue Lang doesn't think that I can't joke. In fact, I have been in Chang'an for a long time and have long wanted to get along with you, but I usually live in seclusion."

After saying this, he asked someone to hand over a gift list.

"I learned that Xue Lang is going to get married to the Yan family's wife. Now I have prepared a congratulatory gift. I have the nerve to ask Xue Lang for an invitation. I wonder if it is okay."

On the surface, the An family and his son have always been so polite to Xue Bai. Sometimes, it seems that Xue Bai is more like a sycophant who is always in trouble with the border town generals.

"Brother Renxing, you've taken the trouble, and I'll be waiting for you."

"Very good……"

"Yan Twelve Lang!"

While he was talking, another group of people came galloping on horseback from the east. Among them were several fierce barbarian men. The leader was a woman with a slightly hoarse voice. She was wearing a lapel robe and deerskin boots, driving like a gust of wind. The horse arrived in front of everyone.

"But I've caught up with you, Yan Twelve Lang. Why did you lie to me at Weicheng Station and say you wanted to stay one more day, but you left me behind?"

Yan Jiming said: "Let's leave temporarily."

"An Dalang is here too? Who is this? So handsome."

"This is Xue Bai, who is about to be my brother-in-law." Yan Jiming said, and then said to Xue Bai: "This is the wife of the Shi family..."

It was difficult to reveal the woman's maiden name. He was still thinking of a suitable title. The woman sitting on the horse had already hugged Xue Bai and said directly: "My name is Shi Chaoying."

"Miss Shi is the daughter of the Pinglu military envoy. This time it's..."

"I came after Yan Twelve Lang, and I also wanted to see Chang'an City." Shi Chaoying picked up his riding whip and pointed at the city in front of him, exclaiming: "What a big city."

Xue Bai didn't expect to see both An Lushan's son and Shi Siming's daughter today.

After a quick glance, Shi Chaoying's face was dirty, but her appearance was far better than that of An Qingzong. She was considered an exotic little beauty. She was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a straight nose, braided hair, and a forehead. With a bunch of bangs, it can be seen that he has a very lively temperament.

When her father Shi Siming was poor and humble, he could be favored by rich girls, at least he would not have the image of An Lushan.

After everyone saw the ceremony, Shi Chaoying's eyes were fixed on Xue Bai and said with a smile: "I like handsome men from the Han family. I have also heard your name and know that you are good at writing poems. Oh, I like it too. Write poetry.”

"It turns out that Miss Shi is still a talented woman."

An Qingzong said with a smile: "General Shi likes to compose poems and also likes to publicize his poems. Miss Shi has the style of being like her father."

The poetry style of the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, and there were many Hu generals in Bianzhen who were good at writing poems, so everyone was not surprised. Du Wulang also expressed his desire to listen.

Shi Chaoying was a cheerful person and agreed immediately.

"Since Wulang wants to hear it, can I compose one now?"

"Ah, is that okay?" Du Wulang was just trying to show his support and said, "Then please."

Yan Jiming didn't seem to want to talk about poetry, so he asked Cui to get on the carriage first.

"A city of Chang'an, young people of thirty to five years old."

"There is no distinction between Hu and Han, the most important thing is to know each other sincerely."

Shi Chaoying pointed at Chang'an City for a while, and for a while he pointed at the people around him. After reciting a poem, he felt satisfied and waited for everyone's praise.

"What do you think?"

An Qingzong smiled and said: "General Shi has seven points of skill."

"What do you think?"

Du Wulang scratched his head and murmured: "This is really... good."

Shi Chaoying looked at Xue Bai with expectant eyes and asked, "What do you think, Xue Lang?"

Yan Jiming came over from the carriage and came to the rescue: "Let's go, it's getting late."

"Yes, it's getting late..."

Everyone entered the city together. Shi Chaoying rode at the front. He saw everything was new and ordered his men to buy it.

Du Wulang couldn't help but murmured: "The Pinglu soldiers and horses didn't even go to the Hajj. Why did his daughter come here?"

Yan Jiming said helplessly: "I met her in Fan Yang before, and she traveled with her everywhere."

"I haven't even traveled around yet. Isn't it weird for a little lady to follow you so far?"

"She is the daughter of General Hu, and her temperament is different from that of women from the Central Plains."

"I still don't understand." Du Wulang said, "Is she your lover?"

Yan Jiming was startled and waved his hands quickly, saying: "No, I have a wife and I have never had any affection for her. Besides, my mother-in-law especially doesn't like her. She just came here... Can Xue Lang understand? "

"I don't understand." Xue Bai said, "No young lady has ever run thousands of miles with me."

"That's right." Du Wulang said, "It's incredible."

When everyone turned around, Shi Chaoying had already rushed into Dongshi, saying that she was going to buy some gifts and get a drink at Xue Bai's wedding.

~~

After welcoming guests like this every day, Xue Bai's wedding day has arrived...

~~

At midnight, the drums sounded in the square, and Qing Lan pushed Xue Bai.

"Mr. Lang, get up."

"Ah."

Xue Bai sat up and murmured: "I didn't sleep well."

"Did Mr. Lang dream?"

"Not really, just thinking about all kinds of people at my wedding banquet."

"Yeah." Qing Lan now dared to tease him more and more, muttering in a low voice: "We all have ladies, we have maids, we have women's crowns, we have ladies."

Xue Bai smiled bitterly. What he actually wanted to say was that people from all positions would come. Just traitors like Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. There were also sons and daughters of rebels like An Lushan and Shi Siming. Maybe it was because he was also a traitor. Rebellious thief.

However, after listening to Qinglan's words, her worries about the future have also subsided a bit... Maybe many years later, when everyone turns against each other and breaks up, they will remember that the last time they got together was at his wedding banquet. .

Just as he was thinking about it, Qing Lan stretched out his finger and pushed Xue Bai's brow.

"Mr. Sir, stop thinking about your household chores. If my wife sees you, she will think you are unhappy. Get up quickly and I will comb your hair."

"Don't worry, sit down for a while."

Qing Lan leaned against Xue Bai and sat with him for a while.

She thought about the night she stayed with him outside Chang'an City. She had wanted to fly away with him. If she had left at that time, she might have been his wife, but he didn't want to. At that time, she thought he didn't like her, but gradually she Understand, Xue Bai is a person who cherishes himself very much.

Only when he cherishes himself is he worthy of her admiration.

This is probably the case between the two of them.

"Mr. Sir, get up. I have to dress you up handsomely so that you can go and greet your wife."

……

A green hut has been built in the yard.

This is a custom from the north that started in the Eastern Han Dynasty. A house is built with a green cloth curtain, where the bride worships.

Before dawn, Xue Bai's house was very busy. Fortunately, the Du family helped manage the entire wedding, so Xue Bai almost didn't have to worry.

But when he came out of the main room and saw Du Wei explaining many things to Du Wulang, he stood there and watched silently.

After Du Wei finished speaking, she was about to go to work when she turned around and saw Xue Bai and looked at him silently for a while.

"Did you dress up so quickly?"

"Well, I don't want to put powder on my face."

The two of them talked, walked through the corridor, stood side by side in a deserted place, looking at the sky in the distance, waiting for the morning light to come out from the eaves.

"When the sun comes up, you will be a husband." Du Wei whispered, "When I was a child, I read 'The deceased is like a husband, not giving up day and night'. I didn't know that time flies by so easily."

After saying that, she smiled, took Xue Bai's hand, and said: "If God is willing to give me back ten years of my life, I will never give you up to anyone else easily."

She had always been gentle in the past, but it was rare for her to have such an attitude.

Without waiting for Xue Bai to answer, she added: "On your wedding day, if you don't say anything else, today you will only treat me as your sister."

Xue Bai leaned towards her ear and whispered: "There are still things that need to be said."

"Ok?"

"Help me arrange a place so that I can meet Li Cong and Li Linfu during the banquet."

~~

In Yan's house, in the boudoir, Yong'er was busy dressing Yan Yan when he suddenly heard someone say something that he shouldn't have said.

"I heard that Xue Bai married Sanniang, and many little girls in Chang'an City were heartbroken."

The one who spoke was Shi Chaoying, who had just come to live in Yan's house.

In Yong'er's opinion, this young lady from the Shi family did not have any friendship with the Yan family, but she insisted on thinking that she was Sanniang's friend and just came over to help her dress up. Her words were too inappropriate.

Turning around and looking around, sure enough, Li Tengkong and Li Jilan looked a little unnatural, especially Li Jilan, whose ears turned red and lowered his head in shame.

Since they were Yan Yan's friends, they were invited. Yong'er was sometimes annoyed that his wife couldn't understand their intentions, but after all, Li Tengkong had been seeing Yan Yan all year round, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

Facing Shi Chaoying, it was different. Yong'er couldn't help but respond: "Mrs. Shi just arrived in Chang'an, how did you hear about it?"

Shi Chaoying couldn't hear the flattering words. When he saw Yong'er smiling and speaking softly, he became more interested and said, "It's being said everywhere. At the Qujiang Banquet, many young ladies wanted to marry Xue Bai. He only wanted to marry Xue Bai." The flowers were given to Sanniang."

"Who said they were given to me?" Yan Yan smiled and said, "Brother, those flowers are clearly for Qinglan."

"He is really a playboy. I also heard rumors that he and..."

"Mrs. Shi, can you write poetry?" Li Jilan quickly interrupted her and said, "Sanniang is already shy, how about we discuss poetry?" Li Tengkong couldn't help but glance at Li Jilan and thought, it turns out that Ji Lanzi is Those who know about Xue Bai and Mrs. Guo Guo usually don't take it seriously.

However, Shi Chaoying became interested as soon as he heard the poem was written, and he opened his mouth to compose a poem.

"A pair of little children, they will be happy at the age of fifteen. They have been together for hundreds of years and have a good marriage for thousands of years."

Yan Yan was sipping lipstick and couldn't help but smile when she heard the words. When her hand shook, the lipstick was smeared all over her nose. She looked in the mirror and thought it looked pretty like this. She tilted her head and smiled again.

Yong'er was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Sanniang, I finally put on the makeup for you."

"Okay, okay, just wipe it on again."

Shi Chaoying looked at Li Jilan and asked, "Ji Lanzi, what do you think of my poems?"

"This...it would be nice if it could follow some rules."

"What's the meaning of meter?" Shi Chaoying said, "There is a mystery in my poem."

Li Jilan was so embarrassed, but she really couldn't praise this poem.

Yong'er put makeup on Yan Yan again. Gradually, she couldn't hear the chatter around her, and her eyes only saw the face of her third wife who had just opened her face.

"Sanniang."

"Ok?"

"You look so beautiful today."

Yan Yan was stunned for a moment and muttered: "No way."

She was secretly hiding a volume of stories she bought from Chang'an City in her sleeve. She heard that she would have to wait for a long time in the green house during the wedding banquet, so she took it with her to pass the time.

She also prepared snacks and hid them in another sleeve pocket.

The Jifu originally had no sleeve pockets, and she secretly sewed it herself. She had helped Xue Bai sew official uniforms before, so she learned this bit of embroidery skills.

Suddenly, she heard Yong'er praising her beauty. She never cared about it, so she naturally turned her head and said, "How can I take advantage of this? Ji Lanzi is so beautiful..."

Li Tengkong looked around and saw Yan Yan turning her head.

The bride in auspicious clothes actually didn't change much after dressing up. She just opened her face and drew her eyebrows. The original girl's hair was divided into a small bun and combed into clouded temples. All the broken hair in front of her forehead was pulled up, adding a touch of beauty. flavor.

With just this change, she was already radiant.

Li Tengkong looked at it for a while, feeling increasingly bitter.

Yan Yan was overwhelmed by what she saw, so she had to tighten the collection of stories in her sleeves. She felt the envy and yearning in their eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed... But actually, she was still a little proud, feeling that she was beautiful for once.

suddenly.

"The groom is here!"

The maids in the courtyard screamed, as if they were coming from bandits and rebels.

Because it was a little slower here, Yong'er was also very panicked.

"Quick, quick, fan yourself and put on your embroidered shoes."

After finally getting Yan Yan tidied up, Yong'er didn't forget to apply lipstick on herself, took a quick look in the mirror, and then quickly asked someone to block the door.

"Hurry up and block the door. We need to urge you to write poems... Hey, Miss Shi, don't bolt it..."

Yan Yan only found all this novel and wished she could peek out from the crack in the door to see what Xue Bai was doing.

She heard people asking him for poems to encourage makeup, and after thinking about it, she realized that he was actually not good at writing poems to encourage makeup, so she said: "I don't want poems to encourage makeup. I want my brother to write me a story." Look..."

"Oh, Sanniang, you are not allowed to speak." Yong'er was anxious.

There was a burst of laughter from everyone outside the door.

"The bride is still calling me 'brother', it's time to call me 'husband'."

When Yan Yan heard this, she quickly covered her face.

Then she remembered that there was a round fan and quickly covered herself with it.

Only then did she feel her ears warm and feel the shyness of getting married.

~~

In the boudoir of the Yan Mansion, the bride only cared about these little things, such as lip service, stories, and snacks. Then she occasionally felt shy and laughed in her heart at Xue Bai's stupid appearance of being manipulated by others like a puppet.

What she saw was such a simple wedding, and she didn't even notice how many talented poets, princes, and grandsons were among the guests beside Xue Bai.

What she didn't know was that almost all the powerful people in Chang'an had been affected by this wedding...

~~

"I heard that Li Heng is also going?"

"Yes, a few days ago, Princess Hezheng went to Shaoyangyuan, and then told the saint that the prince wanted to show his ambition as a prince of a country."

"It's just to win people's hearts."

Li Linfu was a little unhappy, thinking that the news came too late to him, and he didn't know that Li Heng was going to go until today.

He was ready to go out, but now he sat down again.

"How did the wedding go?"

"Xue Bai has already welcomed the bride, and the guests have already begun to enter. When the guests arrive, Yan Zhenqing will give him a calligraphy, and then worship him."

"Has Prince Qing set off?"

"I'm going to see if the news is coming back..."

Li Linfu then stood up and walked around waiting, showing as much anxiety as if he was getting married today.

In fact, he was far less nervous when he was marrying his daughter, because not only did Prince Qing and the Crown Prince want to go there, but he also got news that Wang Zhongsi had sent someone back to Chang'an and would probably go to the banquet.

If Xue Bai can be used to reconcile with Wang Zhongsi, it will also be crucial to retaining the position.

Finally, Cang Bi hurried back and said, "Alang, Prince Qing has already set off."

Li Linfu hesitated for a moment.

He rarely lowers his status to attend wedding banquets. Normally, he would not want to arrive earlier than Li Heng, which would be detrimental to his prestige, but today it is best to meet Li Cong as soon as possible.

"Walk."

"Alang, Zhang Bian hasn't set off yet."

Li Linfu stopped again.

It doesn't matter if you arrive earlier than the Crown Prince. If you lose your momentum to Zhang Bian, it will be really disadvantageous in the eyes of others.

"One more gift...give Pihanxi to Xue Bai."

"Alang, that is a treasure given by the emperor. There are only two of them in the Tang Dynasty."

"give him."

"Here."

It was the rhinoceros horn presented by the Jiaozhi Kingdom during the winter solstice of the second year of Kaiyuan. The messenger brought it to the palace on a gold plate, and there was immediate warmth. As for the other one, it was donated by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. The sage took pity on Li Linfu because he was afraid of the cold, so he gave him a special plant.

Not long after, Cang Bi came over holding a box.

Li Linfu picked up the Pihan Rhinoceros, felt a warmth in his hand, and sighed.

"Write it in the gift list. Read the congratulatory form carefully to make sure there are no more typos."

~~

"Yinqingguanglu doctor, Jingzhaoyin, Taifu Shaoqing, Yushi Zhongcheng, Guannai Dao and Gyeonggi interview and handling envoys, the two capitals' activities of renting money and making money, Sinong cashier, Jiancang palace market envoy, Changchun Jiucheng Palace envoys, branch envoys...the founding uncle of Hongnong County, uncle Yang Guo has arrived!"

"Hahaha, you don't need to be polite, you don't need to be polite. Xue Lang and I are brothers. Today we are just talking about personal friendship, just personal friendship... Oops, the left prime minister has arrived first?"

Yang Guozhong walked into Xue's house with a smile, and looked at the ceremonial man outside the door again, and someone handed him his gift list.

"As a congratulatory gift from Uncle Yang, a pair of celadon-glazed phoenix pots, a headdress inlaid with turquoise and golden flowers and butterflies, a belt inlaid with gold and white jade, and a Wutong Qin with a Nine-Sky Ring..."

The list of gifts was read for a long time, which made Yang Guozhong steal the show in front of everyone.

Of course, not all guests are as flamboyant as he is.

When Li Cong arrived, he handed over the invitation. When the singer raised his head and called "Prince Qing," he had already raised his hand and waved it to show that there was no need to make any noise.

The gift was just a pair of Ruyi jade, which someone else gave him back then. But Li Cong believed that no matter how many external things others gave to Xue Bai, they could not compare to him. What he could give to Xue Bai in the future was a lifetime of glory and wealth, and a name in history.

"Just call me 'Li Dalang'."

"Li Dalang please."

Li Cong stepped into the court and looked around. Princes such as Si Qi Wang Li Zhen, Si Xue King Li Xuan, Guangwu King Li Chenghong, Wang Yao, Cui Huitong, Dugu Ming, Yang Hui and other princes... I don't know how many nobles and nobles came. It's his acquaintance.

He neither avoided nor attracted attention. The servants of the Xue family led him to sit down behind a small table in the side hall, drank a few glasses of wine, and waited for Xue Bai's arrangements.

After a while, there was loud singing again outside the door.

"The Duke of Jin, Shangshu Zuopushe, and Zhongshu ordered Duke Li to arrive!"

Li Linfu held no fewer official positions than Yang Guozhong, but he never needed to mention them all. It was enough to mention two or three, because this was the real authority.

"Gong Li's congratulations, a cold rhinoceros and ten pieces of South China Sea shark gauze..."

When the gift list was announced, even Li Cong was a little envious.

At his current position, he actually has no shortage of property, so what he envies is not the Bihan Rhinoceros and the Nanhai Shark Thread, but the scenery brought by such rewards and gifts.

It's like he envies the saint for giving countless feasts every year.

Ordinary people cannot understand the meaning of banquets and gifts, and would only think that "giving away money and property is so stupid", but in fact banquets are extremely joyful.

However, even though Li Linfu had given such a generous gift, there were still whispers in the hall.

"The right minister has arrived so early."

"You must be restless, right?"

"..."

A young man in green clothes came over and said, "Li Dalang, do you want me to help you change your clothes?"

When he said he was changing clothes, he actually meant going to the toilet. In fact, he was going to have a secret talk with Xue Bai.

"Let's go."

Li Cong nodded and followed the other person through the winding path.

He felt a little excited, looking at the road ahead, as if he felt that he was heading towards the reserve.

~~

When Li Linfu entered Xue's house, there were inevitably a lot of pleasantries. He maintained his magisterial demeanor, glanced at Chen Xilie and Yang Guozhong lightly, and sat down at the top of the main hall.

From a distance, he saw Yan Zhenqing and Du Youlin approaching, and he suddenly became distracted.

"The right prime minister actually came in person, and it was so radiant."

Li Linfu forgot to answer, but was just thinking that the son-in-law he had chosen turned out to be Yan Zhenqing's.

At today's wedding banquet, if the bride was my daughter, I would probably be able to live a much more peaceful life in a hundred years.

"Right Prime Minister?"

"Right Prime Minister?"

Only then did Li Linfu come back to his senses, nodded, exchanged some pleasantries, and said, "I'll go change my clothes first."

"this way please……"

Walking into a secluded side courtyard, Li Linfu suddenly stopped because he saw a man and woman approaching, but it was Xue Bai and Li Tengkong coming from the back hall.

Xue Bai was wearing an auspicious dress, which was even more elegant than before; Li Tengkong finally changed out of her plain Taoist robe and wore a colorful dress with a slightly brighter color. Although it was not an auspicious dress, it made her look more attractive. People's eyes light up.

Seeing Li Linfu's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh. When the two approached, he sighed.

"It was my grandfather who missed you back then."

Li Tengkong was slightly embarrassed and reminded in a low voice: "Master, there is no need to say such words. It will not disturb his heart, but it will lose the face of you and my father and daughter."

Xue Bai didn't seem to hear their conversation and said: "Your Majesty, please."

Several people entered a veranda room, where Li Cong was already waiting.

"Time is tight, let's get straight to the point." Xue Bai said: "Since the Right Prime Minister is here today, he is standing in the same boat with us. As long as I submit a letter to replace An Lushan, I can keep the right Prime Minister's position intact."

Li Cong looked at Li Linfu, trying hard to hide the burning meaning in his eyes, calming his tone and saying, "I can promise to keep the descendants of the right prime minister safe for the rest of their lives."

"If you know the truth, what ability do you have to do this?"

"Because Wang Zhongsi will be on our side. After quelling the Nanzhao rebellion, he will return to the court to support Prince Qing as the crown prince."

"I don't believe it," Li Linfu said, "Wang Zhongsi hasn't even returned to Beijing yet."

"But he will come today, but Anlu Mountain did not come." Xue Bai said: "The Right Prime Minister can choose whether to ally with us now or continue to support Anlu Mountain. At least, we are in front of you, and Anlu Mountain is far away in the horizon. …”

　Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month, thank you all~~
