"Why did Ji Zhen call us over at this time?"

Li Taibai was about to find a place to have a nice drink with Du Zi. Now that he was invited by a friend, he naturally would not refuse.

But he was also curious. It was not yet noon, and He Zhizhang was the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although he was already old, wouldn't he be criticized by other officials for being so drunk in broad daylight?

The demeanor of a famous official in the eyes of ordinary people, but placed in the court, is often a flaw that others use to attack.

Things that he had never thought about in daily life were completely abnormal when Li Taibai thought about it. Now he finally understood why the Qingdu Taoist priest kept saying that when it came to governing the country, he was no different from the fire stick.

Sincerely.

When I heard my boss's friend asking, the boy who came to look for me didn't know. He just said that he had brought a friend who was also good at drinking, and it seemed that he was looking for Mr. Li to introduce him to me.

Upon hearing this, Li Taibai had no doubts, but Du Zimei thought about it a little more.

With He Zhizhang's identity, asking someone to pay special attention to the news about the two of them is not as simple as just drinking and introducing friends.

‘Could it be?’

Perhaps it is the method of moon refining that has given Du Zimei a sharper mind than before. This great talent who originally needed to experience more in the world is now more sincere than usual.

Calm thinking.

Soon they realized that this might be the purpose of the two people coming to Chang'an City, and they already had an idea!

With a hint of excitement in her heart, Du Zimei followed her brother Taibai and whispered her guess.

It also made Li Taibai's pace become a little faster, which was a pain for the boy who was with them. The two of them had now learned Zhou Qingdu's Moon Refining method, but they didn't know the depth of it, and they moved their steps in excitement.

The speed is already comparable to that of an ordinary person running at full speed.

But they were still blushing and out of breath, which made the boy sweat profusely as he followed them behind.

When we got to the restaurant and walked up, the boy saw the place and didn't go up. He just slumped down on the steps of the restaurant, panting hard.

The two excited scribes, not knowing what the reason was, muttered that the physical strength of brother Jizhen's family was really poor.

Climbing up to the third floor of the restaurant, I saw He Zhizhang's red face, fair hair and childlike face.

You must know that this is the 24th year of Kaiyuan, and this He Gongbu is already seventy-seven years old. Seventy years of life are rare in ancient times.

Not to mention that seventy-seven years old would be considered a long life in later generations, but now it is almost like a symbol of auspiciousness. Not only is he still able to hold a high position in the court at the age of seventy-seven, but he is still drinking like crazy and appears to be in extremely good health.

Good.

For such an old man, what if he went to a brothel, let alone skipped work and went to court to drink? Who can say that he is not good at all?

After all, Li Taibai's understanding of the court was still too naive. At least Du Zimei would not think there was anything wrong with He Zhizhang drinking in a restaurant at this time.

However, he took another look at the man sitting sideways with his chest exposed next to He Zhizhang, and seemed to sense something unusual.

But little did he know that the man sitting on the side was really shocked by Li and Du who came up together.

‘These two have actually come together?’

'And their breath...'

As the most mysterious being among the Eight Immortals in Drinking, although Jiao Sui is only a commoner, he is not an ordinary person. He is even the only one among them who can truly be regarded as an 'immortal'.

Originally, he sensed a trace of fate and wanted to lead a few of his comrades into the immortal path, but unexpectedly, there was a surprise today.

‘It seems that God said that there are differences in the heaven and earth, or that great changes are about to occur. This is indeed a sign!’

You must know that this method of practice has been treasured by various schools. Things that can sense and unite spirits are rare in the world, and they are getting rarer. But now there are two more practitioners who are obviously different from ordinary people.

But it is the prototype of a sign of the general trend of change.

‘Now that the Tang Emperor is ruling the country, the country can be considered peaceful and the people are safe, and all the surrounding countries have surrendered. Only Tubo is not considered a close enemy.’

‘Then this change should be in the world of spiritual practice...’

Jiao Sui's face was simple and simple, but his demeanor was extremely extraordinary and his mind was extremely delicate. He had the wisdom to know the autumn of the world at a glance. When he noticed the change in things, he left intentionally to spread the news.

But unexpectedly, he was attracted by some news that Li Taibai and Du Zimei accidentally mentioned during their conversation.

Instead, he became a bystander with his ears closed and his eyes closed, seemingly asleep but actually awake.

However, when He Zhizhang heard about some of the experiences of Li and Du, the two of them naturally became confused and created something specious. Even with his mature skills, he could also tell what was true and what was false.

Immediately I sighed in my heart.

'If, as that person expected, the two of them really gained something, then we can only invite His Highness Yuzhen to let them enter the court...'

He was thinking in his heart but kept a calm expression on his face. As a mature politician, He Zhizhang understood very early that it was good to have a relationship with him as a good friend, but he also had to know how to stand on his side.

In this dangerous city of Chang'an, we are not afraid of stupid people, but we are afraid of people who have always been floating like duckweeds and have no foundation or background.

Although He Zhizhang was not from a poor family, he was from the south and had an alienated relationship with the local officials. He was able to remain in the court because he always relied on Li Longji's trust. However, this trust could not last, nor would this favor.

Long live.

This is also the reason why he made friends with many famous officials.

In addition, he is good at protecting himself and does not go deep into the whirlpool of the court. As he grows older, he will not be targeted by outsiders.

But in fact, he has always been the prince and the protection of the prince's lineage in the court. However...this protection will be gone, and no one can take on this responsibility.

Your Majesty's desire to abolish the prince is increasing day by day. For the future safety of the prince and to protect himself, He Zhizhang is now friends with another clan member behind his back.

"Unexpectedly, these two good brothers had such a mysterious experience yesterday."

"It's so clear!"

After taking a sip of the wine glass, He Zhizhang looked slightly tipsy and brought the matter to the point with a hint of drunkenness.

"Xiandi Taibai's poems are extraordinary, and Zimei's poems are equally amazing."

"I sent two poems to Princess Yuzhen's residence. News came today that Her Highness the Princess values ​​these two talents very much and wants to host a banquet tonight."

"It is used to entertain you two, and at the same time, it is also to see whether you two have real talents and learning."

I saw him drop the empty cup and show a serious look on his face.

"I know your abilities, but I still want to advise you."

"The edge must not be hidden, nor must it be exposed."

"If it's full, it will overflow; if it's full, it won't last long... This is the central saying. I hope you two virtuous brothers will take care of you."

After hearing He Zhizhang's words, Li and Du didn't have any other thoughts. They directly raised their glasses and said yes repeatedly. This made Jiao Sui, who had been observing, sigh secretly. The two people had a deep relationship, but their Taoist hearts still lacked a lot of tempering.
