Early the next morning, Li Ye found the two female bodyguards Hong Liu and Bai Liu who had followed them to Beijing, and whispered to them a few words to monitor the maid Xiaohong's every move. The two female bodyguards nodded in agreement.
Li Ye then got up and went out. Today was his first official day in Chang'an. He had a lot to do. First of all, he had to go to Chongrenfang and join Liu Yan in the Memorial Hall.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, his mother Pei Sanniang came over and said excitedly: "Ah Ye, your medicine is really effective. After taking two pills, my mother's spirit and complexion have improved significantly."
Li Ye smiled and said: "This is a strong medicine, it will definitely have an effect. The key is to stabilize the effect and not fade away in two days. Today I will start giving her Yuanyang Pill, and then she will eat meat and drink chicken soup.
Take another life-saving pill the day after tomorrow, and follow the method I told you yesterday."
"I understand, you want to go out?"
Li Ye nodded, "Let's get down to business today. Qingyu is at home. Mom will help me take care of it."
"Go! Qingyu stays with me, nothing will happen."
Li Ye then hurriedly went out. He took a carriage, guarded by thirty soldiers on horseback, and drove towards Chongrenfang.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage entered Chongrenfang and soon came to the front of Jinzouyuan. As soon as Li Ye got off the carriage, Wang Jinyuan, the general of the army, stepped forward and whispered: "I found out that someone is following and monitoring us!"
Li Ye nodded, "If it's just outdoor surveillance, don't worry about them. Let them monitor. If you dare to enter the house to monitor, just kill me!"
Li Ye can also accept monitoring himself, but there are preconditions and he cannot go too far. Outdoor tracking is okay, but if he is followed indoors, he has crossed the line and will be killed directly.
"Do you want to humble yourself and warn them?"
"You can warn me!"
Li Ye nodded and walked into the memorial hall. Liu Yan was waiting for him!
Everyone sat down in the hall. When he came to the capital this time, Li Ye brought several officials. Liu Yan was responsible for negotiating with the court, and Wen Jingnian and judge Yang Shaohua were his left and right deputies.
Yang Shaohua was also Li Linfu's staff, and was handed over to Li Ye together with Chen Huan and Qiu Xuan.
Compared with Chen Huan and Qiu Xuan, Yang Shaohua has always been very low-key, but this does not mean that he has poor abilities. On the contrary, he has very strong observation skills and considers problems without leakage. Li Ye put him in the position of judge, which can be regarded as carrying out political orders.
Final check.
Then on the polo side, Duan Xiushi is the team leader, Bai Xiaode is the team leader, and Yan Quanming is in charge of logistics support.
Li Ye smiled at Duan Xiushi and said, "You go and check out the venue first, I'll be here later!"
Duan Xiushi stood up and bowed, and left together with Bai Xiaode, Yan Quanming and others. The polo ground was located in Chongrenfang, less than a mile away, very close.
Li Ye then said to Liu Yan: "Today Liu Sima contacted the Zhengshitang first. We must not let go of the three conditions for sending troops. Among them, since the establishment of a refugee corridor has been approved by the court, there are still two conditions. Shuofang and Anxi troops, these
This is our bottom line, but we can be more open-minded in other aspects. For example, the court will definitely not be able to provide military rations and military salaries for sending troops, but it does not matter. We can find an opportunity to properly leak it, and we can even guarantee the capture of Luoyang.
.”
Li Ye's condition was to serve as the governor of Shuofang concurrently, and Guo Ziyi could be transferred to another position. This was the first condition. He needed to legitimately control Shuofang. Secondly, he wanted the Anxi Army to have 15,000 troops left.
Li Siye was seriously injured and unfortunately died in battle. His 15,000 Anxi Army was divided into two, and 10,000 of them were annexed by Yu Chaoen's Shence Army. However, they were not broken up and merged, but were renamed Jingyuan Army.
, led by Wang Weiliang, Yu Chaoen's confidant, and another five thousand troops led by Shi, the former Beiting Army Commander, and Weilun, the current governor of Shangzhou.
The Anxi Army was once Li Ye's subordinate, so of course he wanted to take it back.
Liu Yan nodded, "Your Highness, please rest assured, we will take it step by step. I will first visit the Political Affairs Hall in the morning!"
Li Ye smiled and said: "If necessary, I can also chat with them!"
"His Highness will definitely come forward and meet with the Emperor, but I guess it will be after the discussions are almost complete, Your Highness will make the final decision. When the time comes, Beizhi will make arrangements!"
Liu Yan and the others had packed up, and after meeting with Li Ye, they also went out to the Daming Palace.
On the contrary, Li Ye has nothing to do for the time being. Of course, he has a lot of things to do today. He has to meet Dugu Ming at noon and will meet his father-in-law and his family for dinner in the afternoon.
But now that he has nothing to do for the time being, Li Ye simply visited Jinzou Academy. This was his first time to Jinzou Academy in Helong.
Wang Gan, deputy director of Jinzou Academy, accompanied Li Ye to visit.
Jinzouyuan covers an area of five acres and is divided into the front yard, the back hall and the left and right yards. The front yard and the back hall are not large. The place where government affairs are handled has been in the back hall since they met.
The larger ones are the left and right courtyards, two large inns, each covering an area of two acres, with eighty upper rooms, livestock houses, warehouses, etc.
Li Ye was very interested in the inn. He asked with a smile: "The two inns have been closed to the public?"
"Your Highness, the gate to the memorial hall must be closed at night. If there are outside guests, it will be inconvenient to come in and out. Moreover, it is not safe if there are important documents."
Li Ye smiled: "You can open a small door! Besides, you have to go in and out when you live in it. Just lock the door for documents and the like. They are all documents for the court. It is useless for ordinary people to steal them. I
It is recommended to reserve a few upper rooms and open the others to Longyou merchants, so that you can earn income from entering the memorial hall."
"I understand, I will discuss this with Manager Yan later."
At this time, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, there is a woman outside, saying she is your old friend."
Li Ye was stunned. He couldn't remember who his old friend in Chang'an was? Could it be?
He suddenly remembered that when he was guarding Chang'an, there was a woman serving him. It couldn't be her! But that was just a relationship between rain and dew, not an old friend.
Puzzled, Li Ye walked out of the back hall and went to the front yard. He saw a woman in a red dress wearing a gauze curtain standing in the yard, followed by two maids. The soldiers formed a circle around her.
"Who are you?" Li Ye came out and asked.
The woman looked at him and smiled calmly: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you are so forgetful. Have you forgotten me, a poor woman?"
Li Ye's head suddenly grew bigger. This voice suddenly reminded him that she was the wife of Guo State, Yang Yupei.
"You are Mrs. Pei!"
The woman nodded, "You are very smart, it is me. Why, don't you want to see me?"
Li Ye had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "Please!"
The woman asked the two maids to wait outside, and she walked into the inner hall step by step.
The woman took off her bamboo hat, and it turned out to be Yang Yupei. Her appearance was almost unchanged from before.
"Ma'am, please sit down!"
Li Ye asked Yang Yupei to sit down and asked his soldiers to serve tea.
"My wife should be in Chengdu, right?"
Yang Yupei snorted, "That old guy became a Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain. Before becoming a monk, he crippled me and let me out of the palace. I am completely free."
"Madam, you live in Chang'an now?"
Yang Yupei said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to beg for food. The treasures and money I saved in Baoji Cabinet are no less than yours. I bought a large manor in Chengdu and named it Yangzhuang. I am actually
Came to Chang'an to visit my daughter."
Li Ye remembered that Yang Yupei's daughter married Jinchang County Prince Li Jue, the son of Ning Wang Li Xian, and the Yang family was destroyed, but they were not divorced yet.
Li Ye nodded, "I always thought that Madam died in Sizhuyuan, but I didn't expect that Madam is still alive, which is really gratifying."
"Are you sincere?" Yang Yupei asked with a half-smile.
Li Ye picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "In my capacity, there is no need to lie about this kind of thing."
"Then I want to be your woman, do you accept it?"
Li Ye was drinking tea, and these words made him spit out all of a sudden. He quickly put down the tea cup, shook the tea in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "This is not a joke!"
Yang Yupei chuckled, "I'm just joking with you. I'll scare you like this. I won't get married again. If I want to find a man, I'll find a man. If I don't want to find one, I'll live alone freely. I won't let myself
No more grievances."
Li Ye was not disgusted with Yang Yupei at all. On the contrary, he admired Yang Yupei's ability to take things, put them down, and live a wonderful life.
Li Ye gave a thumbs up and praised: "Madam, you live a clear life!"
Yang Yupei sighed: "Others call me a slut, but you are the only one who can understand me, so I have always liked you, but it is a pity that I have never been able to connect with you!"
After saying that, Yang Yupei took off the gem necklace called the Heart of the Ocean from his neck, put it on the table, and pushed it to Li Ye, "This is the Caliphate gem you gave me back then. If I give it back to you now, it's my gift."
