Hello Chang’an

Shao Shantong didn't like hearing this: "Why have I become an outsider?"

He is the old servant who stayed at Huainan Road for Her Royal Highness the Queen - even though he calls himself one.

As for the fact that he misunderstood the loyal and brave Marquis Chang Kuo, we have to start with Chang Kuo's original plan to mobilize troops.

Some time ago, Chang Kuo, who said he had not been seen in public for a long time due to illness, was actually following the Taifu's arrangements and secretly planning the mobilization of troops.

This matter is secretive, and not many officials on the Huainan Road know about it, but Chang Kuo's troops in the capital are bound to pass through Guangzhou, and since Shao Shantong has exposed the merits of the former governor of Luzhou, there is a lot of loyalty...

After discussion by Jiangdu Wang Yue Yao Ran and others, Shao Shantong was finally allowed to participate.

Shao Shantong was so excited.

Before the concubine returned, they had to attack the capital first. Li Yin turned against him and captured the capital for the concubine... He thought this road would work!

Shao Shantong didn't know the specific time to mobilize the troops, so he sent secret messages to Jiangdu every now and then to ask for confirmation when he would take action.

But he kept pushing...somehow, he actually pushed this matter into obscurity!

Marquis Zhongyong suddenly wrote back to tell him that he would hold his troops temporarily and everything was to be determined.

Shao Shantong was anxious.

He suspected that Zhongyong Hou had become timid because of his old age and had retreated before the battle!

—The daughter-in-law’s adoptive father is here, is that all?

Shao Shantong was very dissatisfied and even suspected that Chang Kuo might have defected to Li Yin or wanted to be independent... If so, Shao Shantong, who was the first to refuse, would definitely turn against the traitor Marquis Zhongyong!

Governor Shao, who was very rebellious but only wanted to look after his wife, did not slowly come to his senses until he heard the news from the capital.

He had misunderstood Marquis Zhongyong. It turned out that the reason why the Marquis suddenly changed his mind was because he secretly learned about the return of the concubine. The concubine had already gone to get it in person in the Gyeonggi area!

Sitting in the carriage at this moment, Shao Shantong smoothed his mustache with his thumb and index finger, and sighed: "I just wanted to counter it casually, but who would have thought that I would actually pick up the merit of following the dragon..."

He just led the people to cultivate the land and recruit soldiers. He never even went out to Guangzhou, so why can't he pick it up in vain?

Shao Shantong couldn't help feeling that it was a worry for his master to be too capable. He conquered the world so casually that they, the subordinates, had no chance to show off.

Shao Shantong was in a good mood and suddenly wanted to listen to Kunqu opera. However, his wife felt that singing in the car was not serious enough. Shao had no way to ask for help, so he sang all the way by himself.

After getting off the carriage and returning to the governor's mansion, Shao Shantong left his wife behind and went to the study to write a letter.

The governor's wife didn't need to ask, she knew that he was going to send it to the capital, so she couldn't help but remind her: "Didn't I just send a letter the day before yesterday?"

"Madam also said it was the day before yesterday. How long has it been since?" Shao Shantong didn't even look back and hurriedly wrote the letter.

The day before yesterday, he wrote a letter to congratulate the concubine on her return from the victory. He burst into tears in the letter. Of course, he did not forget to ask at the end: I wonder when it will be convenient for the official to come to Beijing to congratulate her?

Today Shao Shantong plans to write something festive, talk about the surging hearts in Guangzhou City, and praise the good weather this spring. Of course, the final ending must be: I wonder when it will be convenient for the official to come to Beijing to pay his respects?

If the original question that was always asked in a different way was "When does Your Majesty plan to rebel", this question is equivalent to asking "When does Your Highness plan to ascend the throne".

This is also a major issue that many people are paying attention to and thinking about.

After sending the letter, Shao Shantong, who couldn't wait to rush to the capital, suddenly disliked Marquis Zhongyong again.

Jealousy makes people look beyond recognition. Whenever he thinks that Marquis Zhongyong must be on his way to Beijing at this time, he feels like there are ants crawling in his heart.

Chang Kuo had indeed left Jiangdu three days ago.

Four members of the Luo family were also traveling with them.

Those who arrived in Beijing faster than Chang Kuo and others were Yao Yi, An Wang Li Zhi, the Wei family, etc. who were in Luoyang, as well as Wu Jue A Dian and others.

Then there is the eldest princess Li Rong of Xuan'an. In the original plan, the eldest princess claimed to be ill and postponed her arrival in Beijing until Chang Kuo arrived with troops from Huainan Road. At that time, Chang Kuo would **** her to Beijing to take charge of the situation.

But now that Chang Kuo was no longer needed, the eldest princess was too lazy to wait for him. She quickly took Li Tong to Beijing, leaving Chang Kuo behind.

People who were summoned to the capital were arriving from all directions, and documents professing their surrender were flying to the capital like snowflakes. Chaos, large and small, was gradually being sorted out and calmed down. Every day, new news and developments were sent to the Li Suining case. .

In the capital, Luoyang, Jiangdu and other places, the sound of literature and literature was abuzz, the sound was melodious, the sound shook the roof tiles, and countless poems and songs were like flowers competing for spring, decorating the coming new world.

On this day, Wei Shuyi brought news from the north.

The news that the concubine took charge of the capital to quell Li Yin's rebellion spread to the north, boosting the morale of the soldiers who resisted the Tibetan army. In addition, with the flying fire artifact to defeat the enemy, the Tibetan army of 200,000 retreated steadily and retreated to the Yuanzhou area. Longyou Jiedushi led his troops to encircle from the northwest and had controlled the entrance to Tuyuhun.

Cui Jing said in the letter that it would take two months at the latest to completely clear up the chaos in the northern border.

Li Suining was in a good mood and wrote back to him. He wrote carefully and elegantly, writing only nine words - the situation has been decided and he can return home slowly.

Looking at the person who wrote the letter with a smile, Wei Shuyi also had a smile in his eyes. This smile turned into a sigh when he left the palace: "Cui Ling'an is coming back soon."

Changji heard this sentence and looked at the man who was getting on the sedan chair. He felt that this sigh conveyed the feeling that "the days of doves occupying magpie's nests are coming to an end."

Changji was accompanying the sedan chair. Thinking of the need to follow Yuan Xiang back, he couldn't help but murmured through the curtain of the sedan chair: "Young Master must also strive for success..."

"Isn't this just trying to impress you?" Wei Shuyi, who was sitting in the sedan chair, straightened his official robe and said matter-of-factly.

Wei Shuyi has really been "striving for success" recently and is very busy every day. He is about to go to Dali Temple at this time.

Everyone in Beijing is very busy, from the chamberlain to the officials to A Dian.

Since entering the capital, A Dian has been staying in the palace. Li Suining asked him to choose a place to live, so he chose it obediently.

When Zhai was free, he would accompany A Dian around the palaces. Zhai Xi naturally could see that A Dian was different from normal people, so he became more patient and did not forget to explain carefully to his subordinates.

A Dian finally chose a very remote place to live, next to the Elephant Garden.

That was the residence where Li Shang lived when he was a child.

A Dian's reason for choosing this place can be said to be very thoughtful. It is remote and uninhabited, which is suitable for him and his friends to live. In A Dian's words, Liu Huo has a bad temper, and Black Li is too majestic to control the wind. The family would be noisy from time to time, and then the oranges would come with the black chestnuts... They were placed here so they would be least disturbing.

A Dian retains the nature of a child and is very trusted by the animals. He also offers to take on the task of raising elephants, whether he raises one or a bunch of elephants.

Hearing A Dian seriously plan his breeding business, and also said that he would train an excellent rat-catching army for the imperial city, Zhai Xi couldn't help but smile, and suddenly understood why Her Highness the Princess valued this A Dian so much. General. The existence of some people does not have to be of great use. As long as they stay here safely and happily, it is enough to soothe people's hearts.

And Her Royal Highness, the concubine who carefully cared for such a general A Dian, also had a delicate and precious light soul.

Listening to the roar of elephants and the roar of eagles, Zhai carefully thought that this imperial city was really going to be completely renewed inside and out.

After A Dian selected this place, Li Suining named him the General of Hundred Beasts, renamed the place the Garden of Hundred Beasts, and inscribed it himself.

Li Suining also asked A Dian to help her take care of the jujube tree outside the elephant garden.

A Dian was very excited and nodded in agreement. Taking the words written by Li Suining, he didn't know where he got the explanation. He went to find Wujue and asked Wujue to take a look at the Feng Shui of his animal garden - good Feng Shui can make cats and dogs fat. strong! If the cat is fat and the dog is strong, then the person will prosper and the family will prosper!

Wujue was forcibly pulled over by A Dian, but he put his hands behind his back and began to look at Feng Shui seriously and responsibly around the place.

A Dian was very diligent. He took several servants and carefully pulled weeds in the elephant garden.

Qiao Yang, who met A Dian yesterday and heard about the Beast Garden, brought A Wu over when she entered the palace today.

Ah Wu went to Luoyang with Lady Jiu. A few days ago, Lady Jiu came back from Luoyang, and naturally she brought Ah Wu back with her. Ah Wu, who had gone to Luoyang for a walk, gained weight again, and used Lady Jiu to In other words, this is Lao Qiao's lifeblood, how dare she neglect it.

Qiao Yang reluctantly sent A Wu into the palace. At this moment, she placed the dog in her arms outside the gate of the elephant garden and sighed: "You also come into the palace to enjoy this happiness and live in the palace." day…"

"And being able to stay with His Highness and help His Highness take a look at your home, I think this is the good home you want..."

Qiao Yang said, waving her hand: "Go and get to know your new place."

Seeing Ah Wu wagging his tail and running away, Qiao Yang couldn't help but want to shed tears: "Look, he's not afraid of this strange place at all. He's so spiritual."

At this time, hearing voices coming from behind, Qiao Yang pressed her sleeves to the corners of her eyes and turned around, only to see a chamberlain walking towards him accompanied by a Taoist priest.

Seeing the Taoist, Qiao Yang suddenly felt doubtful.

No wonder Qiao Yang couldn't recognize the person at first glance, Wu Jue was indeed different from what he used to be.

After quitting drinking and recuperating, under the supervision of Governor A Dian, Wujue's figure became much straighter than before. Coupled with the false bun on his head, his original three-pointed appearance was lost.

More importantly, perhaps due to the influence of Li Suining's successful catastrophe, Wujue's aura has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Countless merits have been added to him, and the aura of being disgusted with dogs has been eliminated, and the feeling of being in a mutton soup restaurant has disappeared. Most of the way there, there was a faint air of Taoist immortality. One day, I took a look at Wu Jingjing and was so surprised that I felt that the guy in Tianjing was nothing more than that. He even asked A Dian: "I and Tianjing Which old mirror is more beautiful? 】

Therefore, at this moment, Qiao Yang couldn't help but raise her hand and salute, and asked with great respect: "I don't know the name of the Immortal Master? I'm observing that the Immortal Master has two aspects of kindness..."

Qiao Yang's mind was spinning quite quickly. After all, the fish was not free. As he spoke, he had already clearly identified the source of this feeling of kindness - this Taoist priest looked like Wujue.

Could it be that His Highness specially found a replacement?

But let him tell it, this person is only three-thirds similar at most. In terms of true resemblance in spirit, it is far from Awu.

Wu Jue raised his eyebrows pretending to be innocent, and just as he was about to continue bluffing Qiao Yang, he suddenly heard A Dian's voice.

"Master Wujue, I picked up a new dog! It looks exactly like you. It's amazing!"

A Dian ran over with the mixed-haired puppy in his arms with a look of wonder on his face, and held it up high for Wu Jue to see.

Wu Jue was so angry that his vision went dark.

Qiao Yang's head was knotted for a moment, what? who? Where?

Qiao Yang subconsciously looked around, but saw that A Dian had already lifted A Wu in front of the Taoist, and continued to exclaim: "Master Wu Jue, I was squatting there just now, picking grass. When I looked back, I thought it was you pretending to be Come to scare me!"

Wu Jue was so angry that he was fuming: "—You unlucky boy, do you know how to respect the elderly? Come on if I don't tell your highness!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Qiao Yang came over in two steps, pointed at Wujue with a trembling hand: "You, you...Wujue?!"

"You...are still alive!" Qiao Yang felt that his brain was not enough for a moment, and he subconsciously looked at Ah Wu: "You are alive, so what does Ah Wu mean to you..."

"What the hell?" Wujue asked in disgust, "Did you bring this mutt?"

Qiao Yang slapped her forehead and waved her sleeves feeling ridiculous: "You have never been reincarnated into it!"

Wu Jue felt even more humiliated. He had never heard such dirty and vicious words in his life!

Before he could have a seizure, Qiao Yang had already asked in pain: "Since you are alive, why don't you say a word!"

It made him regard this little brat as his opportunity for reincarnation. He would feed it with poop, pee, and milk, and cut a coat for it to wear. He thought about Wujue losing his parents when he was young and being picked up by his master. He must have regrets in his childhood. In my free time, I sing lullabies with it!

Wrong payment, all wrong payment!

The two reunited after a long separation but quarreled. One complained that the other had used a dog to taint him, which was a waste of time. One denounced the other for deliberately deceiving him and being more of a dog than a dog.

After the two finally got tired of arguing, A Dian, who had been watching the battle for a long time, once again carried A Wu and walked up to Wu Jue. He persisted and said weakly: "Master Wu Jue, take a closer look, they really look alike..."

Wujue immediately exploded again. He turned his face and was about to scold him when he suddenly glared at the little **** and couldn't even say what he said in retort.

Wu Jue left in anger. Qiao Yang caught up with him and insisted on seeking justice from His Highness.

Instead, A Dian grabbed the two of them and stood in the middle to stop the fight: "Your Highness has a lot of things to do every day, so don't look for Your Highness, I will handle it!"

There was a lot of noise in this corner of Xiangyuan, and there was also a lot of noise in Taifu Chu's house.

The front hall of the Chu Mansion was almost full of people sitting and standing, all of whom came to visit the Grand Tutor.

Fortunately, the Chu family has nothing but a large number of people. Although there were many visitors, even if one person was chatting with one guest, it was still very useful and no one was neglected or neglected.

Most of those who came recently were dignitaries, officials, scribes, and members of the clan, including many who had previously supported Li Yin.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, they all know the importance of correcting their stance, but this stance cannot be just expressed in words, but not everyone has the opportunity to meet the Crown Princess. After thinking about it, many thoughts arise. A roundabout way to express one's position - to come to harass, no, to visit the old lady, is a good choice that is widely welcomed by everyone.

This time the Taifu exposed Li Yin's crimes and survived a narrow escape. He worried about the country and the people, and his virtue was as noble as Mount Tai. He was admirable and his reputation became great again.

It is really emotional to have already reached the pinnacle, but to reach a higher level. Life is really endless, and seventy years old is also the year to work hard.

All in all, the Taifu is now a great meritorious official in the world, and he is also a great meritorious official in front of the Queen. Anyone who has such merits and deeds can be rewarded, and the Queen will have the palace people come to visit the Taifu every day. It would be very beneficial for them to become familiar with each other here. (End of chapter)
