Xuan Chengzi left anyway. Under Ye An's watch, he got on the bullock cart and slowly left the city of Tokyo. He said that this was the last journey Ye An sent him on. Although it was a bit complimentary, it was still true.
Unless Ye An goes to Songshan to look for him, the master and apprentice may die and never see each other again.
But fortunately, when Lao Tao left, he didn't mention the end of the master-disciple fate, otherwise Ye An really planned to go to Songshan Mountain to demolish Laojun Temple if he saw an opportunity.
Xuan Chengzi was the first person he met after arriving in Song Dynasty. No matter what his purpose was, he eventually helped Ye An. Even Ye An used him, but it was an instinct and not bad.
The use of the mind.
From the day they met, the two seemed to be bound together by an invisible chain, and Laojun Temple became Ye An's heart.
Ye An stood in front of the gate of Shangqing Palace and watched the old Taoist leave with his disciples and grandsons. He also saw a group of sisters-in-law in Taoist attire appearing, all of them looking pretty and handsome.
Needless to say, these are the "disciples and grandsons" of Master Bao Ci Zhengjue. Ye An didn't even want to look at them one more time, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by someone: "Please stay, Marquis Ye, my immortal has invited you!"
Ye An was a little strange. Logically speaking, Zhao Qingyu had no contact with him, and he couldn't even know his identity. Why did he want to see him?
Of course, the eyes of these little Taoist nuns were full of curiosity and a little bit of the same strangeness as him.
It is still the pavilion in the Shangqing Palace. The weather is getting warmer and there is no need to stay in the room. Of course, the most important thing is Ye An's special status, and Zhao Qingyu opposite him is even more special.
It is the best choice to see yourself in the pavilion, as you are not afraid of other people's gossip.
What Ye An didn't expect was that Zhao Qingyu actually took good care of himself. At least he looked younger than Zhao Qingyi. It was probably because of his devotion to cultivating Taoism! In contrast, Zhao Qingyi had to work hard for the family and was required to do both big and small things.
She made up her mind.
When Ye An looked at Zhao Qingyu, Zhao Qingyu also looked at him. After a long time, he slowly said: "I never thought that the famous Yunzhong County Marquis in Tokyo City would be so young and handsome. I saw the Yangcheng County Lord in the palace.
"I have the appearance of conquering a country and a city, but it's a pity that I don't want to enter my Taoist door..."
What are you talking about?! Ye An is very dissatisfied, why...should his family not believe in it?!
"How many people in this world can let go of their seven emotions and six desires and become a stone? Master, do you think it is good to practice? Don't you regret it now?"
Zhao Qingyu, who looked a little pale, smiled slightly: "As my sister-in-law said, you are an unforgiving person. Even my sister-in-law sometimes wants to pull out your tongue!"
Ye An was not afraid, and gave a slight salute: "That day, the family lost one minister who dared to speak out about Shangjian, oh! No, it should be that there were missing countless ministers who dared to speak out about Shangjian, don't you think?"
"That's true, but it's a pity that it's not easy to be an independent minister. You need to pay a lot of price, such as..."
Following Zhao Qingyu's gaze, Ye An's expression became colder and colder. He knew that Xuan Chengzi's departure was Liu E's idea and she did it deliberately!
In the city of Tokyo, he had always been clear-eyed, but after the old man left, he lost someone with whom he could talk. As for the Li family, they must be tied to him in terms of interests, and stay away from the court politically.
But now, neither Wang Zeng nor Lu Yijian is trying to win over him. As for Wang Qinruo, it's almost like adding insult to injury.
Liu E deliberately wanted to create a scene where she was independent from the city of Tokyo. It seems that she still believed that a lonely minister should be a "lonely person"!
But the woman in front of me was a little strange: "Why did the master say this to Ye An? Is it good for you, master, to provoke Ye An to go against the saint?"
Zhao Qingyu shook his head slightly: "Of course it's not good for me, but it might not be good for my nephew!"
"Sure enough!" From the very beginning, Ye An felt that the Zhao Qingyu in front of him was a little different. He was not like the Master Bao Ci Zhengjue known to the world as a devoted cultivator.
"Sister is one step ahead of me. She promised to wait for me at Yuqing Zhaoying Palace. Why do you come to find Ye An alone?"
A Taoist nun sat down next to Ye An, looking at Ye An like an elder, and at the same time glanced at the tea on the table. Ye An was startled, but after seeing the person clearly, he still gave the person in front of him an honest look.
The two Zhao sisters poured tea.
Who would have thought that Zhao Qingyi, the eldest princess of Yi Kingdom, would also come?!
Ye An already vaguely felt that something was wrong. The situation between the two of them was not as described in the history books. The women of the Zhao family had never been involved in politics or participated in the battles in the court.
Taking Ye An's tea, Zhao Qingyi smiled and said, "What? You didn't expect my two sisters to find you, right? Do you know why they are looking for you?"
Ye An Dingran shook his head like a rattle. Even though he guessed the connection with Zhao Zhen, Ye An still pretended not to know.
"How could a person like you with such exquisite eyes not know this?" After Zhao Qingyi said this, he planned to poke Ye An's head with his hand, but he dodged it.
He quickly crossed his arms with a smiling face and said: "Princess, it's true that our two families have business relationships, and it's true that we open a business together. But business is business, so don't dare to involve other things!"
"Sister, have you seen it?! This is a little fox! It's impossible to expect him to fight with Wang Qinruo, and he doesn't have the courage to fight with Lu Yijian. How can Yi'er be allowed to take charge as soon as possible?"
Zhao Qingyu didn't speak, but looked at Ye An, whose face had fallen, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.
Ye An was really upset, and it didn't matter if he didn't say anything, but once he said it, he wouldn't be able to deal with it at all, and he wouldn't even have anything to say.
Just as he was about to use "Urine Escape" to escape, Zhao Qingyu said: "Aren't you curious why we two sisters are looking for you?"
Ye An sighed helplessly: "In the entire Song Dynasty, only the master and the eldest princess are the least conspicuous in the court. If you want to do something behind the scenes, you are the only ones who have the most trouble. As for the clan members, I'm afraid they are still being exploited.
You two were kept in the dark."
Zhao Qingyu finally nodded with satisfaction: "I didn't expect that he knew it. You have to be a lone minister. You can't be Liu E's lone minister. You can only be an official's lone minister. Only the emperor has ministers.
The Queen Mother did not!"
This is nonsense, but it is also a truth and a warning. Ye An understands what they mean very well, and wants to win over himself to make himself an important pawn in the government's pro-government.
But Ye An didn't understand: "Sooner or later, the official will have to take charge of the government, so why rush? The saint is not young anymore..."
"She's not young anymore! But what if it's ten or twenty years later?! What will the court still look like? Who knows if the Zhao Songtian family still believed in Zhao at that time?!"
Alarmist! This was Ye An's first thought. Considering the ancestral methods of the old Zhao family and the "strong" civil servants bribed by the old Zhao family, Liu E had no chance at all to use "Wu Zetian's story".
But the worries of the two people in front of them are real. No one knows what the future will be like, so there is the saying of preparing for a rainy day, but... it has nothing to do with him?
