Time flies to the early summer of Tianbao's ninth year, and the weather is gradually getting hotter.
At noon that day, Li Ye hurriedly came out of Taixue and walked quickly to the stable.
Through his grandfather's relationship with Li Linfu, Li Ye entered Taixue last year and became an auditor, learning the language and customs of the Western Regions and also auditing history classes.
He didn't want fame, but just studied at Taixue. This was allowed, and he only needed to donate a sum of money. Many wealthy and powerful children did this, and their resumes had the experience of studying at Taixue.
He made great achievements in the expedition to Shuofang last year. Emperor Li Longji personally promoted him to the title of Duke of Jinshan County and to the rank of guerrilla general. This was a fifth-grade military official, the same as Hun Yao.
Li Longji also planned to make him Captain Guoyi of the Longwu Army, but Li Ye declined because he hoped to leave the official position to his father.
For the sake of his mother, his father resigned from his official position as a doctor in the Ministry of Finance and went to Zhangye alone, which really moved Li Ye.
He also hoped that he could help his father. Emperor Li Longji was impressed by his filial piety, so he agreed to his request and appointed Li Dai as the governor of Runzhou. In September last year, Li Dai took his wife Pei to Runzhou to take office.
Shortly after Li Ye returned to Chang'an last year, his grandfather Li Linfu took the initiative and asked his son Li Dai to marry Pei Sanniang officially, which became a good story in Chang'an. Even the imperial concubine sent congratulatory gifts.
However, after his father went to Runzhou to take office, Li Ye moved into Taixue in a low-key manner, fell into silence, and began his education.
"Ah Ye!"
Someone called him from behind, and when Li Ye turned around, he saw his good friend Wei Song. Wei Song was three years older than Li Ye and came from the famous Chang'an Wei family. His grandfather was Wei Jiansu, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Since Prince Li Heng and Prime Minister Li Linfu secretly reconciled last year, there have been some subtle changes in the court.
It was not a good thing that Yang Guozhong was appointed as the governor of Yizhou. The emperor Li Longji did not like Yang Zheng, thinking that he was too stupid and did not understand his own intentions. Li Longji still valued Yang Guozhong more. Yang Guozhong's qualifications lacked the local official resume, so Li Longji appointed him
The purpose of writing the history of Yizhou was to prepare Yang Guozhong for taking up the post of prime minister.
Li Linfu realized this problem and recommended Wei Jiansu from the prince's faction to be the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This was Li Linfu's cunning ability, and he accurately pushed Wei Jiansu out to block Yang Guozhong's position.
Yang Guozhong was inferior to Wei Jiansu in all aspects, so the emperor had no choice but to compromise and restore the left and right prime ministers to a polyphase system. Once Yang Guozhong and Wei Jiansu were merged into the prime ministership, Li Linfu's position as prime minister would remain stable.
Wei Jiansu was re-employed by Li Linfu, and the prince's faction obtained the crucial personnel department. Therefore, as soon as Li Ye entered the Imperial Academy, Wei Song took the initiative to make friends with him. There was a very subtle political relationship in this.
"I have no classes in the afternoon, let's go have a drink?" Li Ye said with a smile.
Wei Song smiled bitterly and said: "Unlike you, I am just an auditor and don't even take exams. I am as busy as a dog. I will tell you that I will go to the Anranju Restaurant in Pingkangfang in the evening. At two o'clock in the morning,
Baiyufang, Lao Zhang’s treat!”
"I know, I'll be there for sure!"
Li Ye came to Anlefang, and Aunt Mu and the rough servant Azhen also went to Runzhou. There was really no one living in his house, except the dog Xiaohei.
Li Ye originally gave Xiao Hei to Li Xun's family, but Li Xun told Li Ye that in addition to coming here for dinner every day, Xiao Hei would return to his home at night and still live in the original nest, and he would not move to his house for any reason.
It prepares a new nest.
There was no other way, so Li Ye had to change his plan and ask Li Xun's family to raise Xiao Hei on his behalf. He would often come back to see the little guy.
Before he reached the door of the house, he heard Xiao Hei barking "Woof! Woof!" in the yard. In an instant, a black shadow came out of the dog hole and circled around Li Ye. His tail almost shook off.
.
Li Ye touched his head and said with a smile: "Little guy, I'm here to see you. I'll ask my aunt to take you to Runzhou next time!"
Li Ye took out an oil paper bag from his arms. Inside was a bag of chicken. Li Ye put it on the ground and said with a smile: "This is for you, eat it!"
Xiao Hei devoured the meal given by his master. Li Ye stroked his smooth fur. The fur was very shiny and he had gained weight, which showed that Li Xun's family treated him well.
"Aye, is that you?"
Li Xun opened the back window and stuck his head out, embarrassed to put down the kitchen knife.
"I heard Xiao Hei yelling and thought there was a thief."
"Where can there be thieves in broad daylight? Why don't you go to class today?"
"School is closed today, Aye, have you had lunch? If not, I'll buy you a drink."
"I'll invite you!"
Li Ye patted Xiao Hei's head and said with a smile: "Take it back and eat it! Don't let Dahuang see it and steal your good stuff."
Xiao Hei seemed to understand what Li Ye said, and immediately picked up the largest piece of chicken and ran back to the yard with a poop.
Li Xun jumped out of the window, pointed at the wall with his toes and said with a smile: "You see there is a hole here, which is convenient for Xiao Hei. As soon as my mother knocks the bowl, it will definitely run over. Xiao He especially likes it, it is really
He is very obedient, well-behaved, but also very loyal!”
"Xiao Hei made you worry!"
"It should!"
Brothers Li Ye and Li Xun sat down in a tavern at the entrance of the alley. This tavern was Pei Sanniang's medical clinic, which closed last year.
Pei Sanniang had no belief in saving lives and healing the wounded. She opened a medical clinic just to support her family. Between the doctor and the governor's wife, she decisively chose the latter.
The tavern has been remodeled again, and there is no trace of the former medical clinic at all. The two of them sat down at a small table. Li Xun turned around and shouted: "A plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, a plate of twice-cooked pork, and cold side dishes."
A few more things, and a glass of wine!"
Li Ye was really helpless. Even roadside shops began to fry fish-flavored shredded pork and twice-cooked pork. In just one year, his hard work had really gone to waste.
This incident cannot be completely blamed on Zhang Ping. Several of his apprentices were poached at high prices, and the restaurant where they were poached was kept secret improperly. The recipe and cooking method spread quickly. After returning from the grassland, he found that every person in Chang'an
Every restaurant is frying fish-flavored shredded pork and twice-cooked pork slices.
Li Ye was wondering when it would spread to the tavern? Now he saw it.
Chef Zhang no longer had the special skills he was good at, and he was too embarrassed to take the high monthly salary of 50 yuan, so he had to resign and go home.
Although Zhang Ping cannot be a chef, he has practiced winter and summer skills. He has been standing for a whole year without missing a day. His footwork is amazingly stable. He has no problem dealing with four or five adults by himself.
Won first place in the poker competition.
Pei Min was also moved by Zhang Ping's dedication and outstanding conditions, so he officially accepted Zhang Ping as his apprentice a month ago.
Li Ye did not become the apprentice of the Sword Master, but Zhang Ping became the apprentice of the Sword Master Pei Min.
Currently, Zhang Ping has opened a martial arts gym in Yonghefang and has more than thirty apprentices. He uses the connections between Pei Min and Li Ye to often take on security work. He is quick-thinking and was introduced to Leng through Li Ye.
Mr. Yue thus established a relationship with Wang Xuanhai and became prosperous in the west of the city.
Li Ye picked up the wine cup and said with a smile: "I remember you told me last time that there were scoundrels harassing An Ranju Restaurant in West Market, which made your father very troubled. Are they still there now?"
"Also, these gangsters didn't dare to come in the open, so they came in secret. They even threw cow dung into the well two days ago, and my father didn't dare to tell my grandfather. It was really annoying to death."
Li Ye nodded, "Tell your father tonight, just say it was me who said it, and ask him to find Zhang Ping. At the Daye Martial Arts School in Yonghefang, Zhang Ping will handle the matter for him."
