Li Kuo's face froze and the smile on his face instantly petrified.
Zhang Yanji's tone was very cold, like the cold rain in late autumn, with a refreshing coldness.
Looking at his friend who was solemn in front of him, Li Kuo felt a little unfamiliar for a moment.
The white clothes were as good as a stern, but the simple white was wrapped in a touch of solemnity and attacked Li Kuo.
No, no. My friend should have been a handsome young man who is free and easy to fight with others. Why is he now infected with such a strong and depressing atmosphere? Since the battle at the medicinal shop in the suburbs, he has seemed to have become a different person.
, I always talk with others with scruples, and I do things much more stubborn than before.
Seeing Li Kuo's face pale, Zhang Yanji said anxiously: "Brother Kuo'er, what's wrong with you? If what I said is wrong, you don't listen. Anyway, you will make your decision when you encounter something when you are young, so you will live.
I will accompany you in, brother, I will admit it too!”
Li Kuo's face gradually calmed down, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Depending on what you said, if I annoy you for this, will I be worthy of your call "Brother Kuoer" day and night?"
"You are still conscience!" Zhang Yanji smiled happily and immediately gave Li Kuo a hug, which scared Du Jingtian so much that she flashed to her side and scolded her urgently.
Waving his hand to indicate that he was not seriously injured, Li Kuo sighed and said slowly. "Since ancient times, the kings hated forming cliques and making personal gains. Those court officials who made frequent contacts with princes rarely had a good end. Even if the Eastern Dynasty is strong and respectful, it will be for Your Majesty.
He is a minister, and the world is always his Majesty. Moreover, the saint is now a heroic and powerful person. His Highness is cautious and cautious, and he is most afraid of forming cliques. As a young master, he often told me that as a minister, one should be "no bondage, no stickiness, no stickiness, no
". When you get closer, the Lord will feel depressed and disgusted; when you get far away, the Lord will feel lost and disgusted. Only by not being anxious or lazy can you satisfy the Lord."
Zhang Yanji scratched his head and said suspiciously: "But Fatty An is like a sticky insect, and his godfather is screaming all day long, but look at the whole Tang Dynasty, except for the right prime minister, who can be more honorable than the right prime minister.
.”
Li Kuo was stunned for a while, then burst into laughter. The fat man An of Zhang Yanji was undoubtedly An Lushan, the governor of Dongping County, the three towns of Hedong. It is also funny to say that An Lushan is a Hu person, damn it
The military achievements were promoted from a soldier to the governor of the Three Towns. He was already the most powerful minister, but he was not satisfied and became a adopted son under the imperial concubine. In this way, his seniority was as good as the King of Dongping County.
The title matches the title. It’s just a big man in his forties who is about 10 years younger than him. It’s funny to call him a woman who is over 10 years younger than him.
"Hu Er is honest and straightforward, and acts casually. How can you compare it to him? Now the saints trust Hu Er very much, and they will feel loyal and honest in their behavior. If you do this, you will not be allowed to be
Have some conspiracy charges.”
Zhang Yanji curled his lips and said, "Sage is just a partial eye. General Wang Zhongsi repeatedly defeated the Later Turks and made great achievements in the Tang Dynasty. It was because he had a banquet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that he was fabricated by a treacherous conspiracy to visit the crown prince.
He was dismissed from office and imprisoned. He was just a sage of nine surnames, but the saint trusted him very much."
Li Kuo gently pointed his friend's eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty is not something you can criticize at will. As a minister, you must be careful in your words and actions. If someone is obsessed with it, you will definitely be able to bear it."
Zhang Yanji shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. My little fish and shrimp can't even get into the eyes of those gods. However, you have a bright future, and I'm afraid you can't be casually spread in the future."
"Since things have come to this point, we can only let things go. Plan things in person and accomplish things in heaven. Do your duty well, and let him do the rest."
"Hey, hey, I said you two were talking and laughing, and they were chatting happily. They actually left this girl aside, it was really a beggar." Du Jingtian jumped over and knocked Zhang Yanji's forehead.
superior.
"Oh, my aunt, can you be gentle? Do you think my head is an iron pot? Is there anyone who knocks like this?" Zhang Yanji rubbed his forehead and shrank backwards.
"You are the one who hits you. Your head is still a lump of wood anyway. You can't open your mind if you don't hit it!"
"I, did I mess with you..."
Li Kuo walked to Du Jingtian and said, "Okay, A Tian, you can say less." After a slight pause, Li Kuo turned around and gave a wink at Zhang Yanji: "You ran over from afar not only for
I'll report a happy news, right?"
Zhang Yanji pouted and said, "Of course not. If you don't say it, I'm almost forgotten. My grandfather got the news that you were given the title of the Prince's Guest through the Eunuchs, and sent me to inform you. Although this dismissal is done,
There is no need to sing Mao every day, but according to the rules, you need to go to the East Palace to pay homage to Your Highness. Your Highness knows that you are injured, so you ask the saint for personal favors and avoid the eunuch's eunuch's eunuch's edict. However, the etiquette should not be abandoned, so you should follow it quickly
I will go to the East Palace and pay homage to Your Highness.”
"Go now? I haven't prepared anything yet, so I'll take a shower and change my clothes first..."
Zhang Yanji rolled his eyes at Li Kuo and said, "Is there any bargaining reason for your summoning? Don't worry, your highness is very easy-going and never value these red tape." After that, he pulled Li Kuo out of the house without saying anything.
Li Kuo, who was pulling straight, staggered.
"A Tian, go back to the teahouse first, I will go to Tongjifang to find you later..." Li Kuo turned his neck and shouted at the inner room.
"Die Xiaoqi! Come back early, I'll prepare fried eggs for you~~~"
"good..."
In a flash, the two got on the carriage of Zhang's mansion and headed straight towards the imperial city.
The Eastern Palace is located in the far north of Chang'an City, far from Andefang. Even though the horses equipped with Zhang's mansion have good feet, it took half an hour to arrive before An's door. At the gate of the city, the Jinwu guards on the turn of the carriage ordered the carriage to stop and inspect.
Zhang Yanji jumped down, walked closer in three or two steps, and handed the assistant minister's waist card to Jinwu Suwei to inspect. After checking and confirming that the guard had corrected, he waved his hand to signal that the two could pass. Li Kuo jumped off lightly
The carriage and Zhang Yanji entered the Tang Dynasty Imperial City.
Chang'an City is magnificent, consisting of an outer city and an inner city. The inner city contains the imperial city, and the imperial city contains the palace city. In addition to a few yamen such as Jingzhao Mansion and Imperial College, many yamen in the central Tang Dynasty are located in the imperial city.
Therefore, safety in the city is very important. You can see the Jinwu guards who hold swords and rotate at every few dozen steps. Li Kuo and Zhang Yanji slowly walked on the vast bluestone road, looking around at the towering city walls on both sides.
While feeling the majestic and grandeur of the imperial city, I felt a sense of pride. This is the pride of the Tang people, and it carries the little hopes of young talents for the future.
Tang Dynasty ruled that no horses were allowed to run in the imperial city, so even the prime minister of the current dynasty had to dismount and walk when he entered the imperial city. From time to time, officials from the green robe who were walking in the Jiacheng were coming, and they sighed when they saw the two young men.
He let out a sigh, shook his head and left.
Zhang Yanji snorted lightly, then pulled Li Kuo to speed up and walked forward.
The palace city is located in the north of Chang'an City, with the Yeting Palace on the left and the East Palace on the right. The two of them rushed to the front of Yanxi Gate of the East Palace, and were already sweating profusely.
A waiting little yellow gate at the city gate saw the two of them coming and greeted them, "Oh, hey, you are so anxious that you are so anxious. Your Highness personally ordered the family to lead the two young men to enter the palace before Yu Shenshi.
It’s almost three minutes later. If you don’t come again, you’ll be afraid that you won’t be able to enter the palace today.”
Zhang Yanji asked in confusion: "Eunuch Wang, isn't the palace gates locked at the hour of You? Why is the East Palace so special?"
The little yellow shop surnamed Wang, who was surnamed Wang, said in a difficult manner: "Mr. Zhang Xiaolang, look at what you said, why is our East Palace special? Your Majesty has regulations that Your Highness must not meet foreign ministers for more than two hours a day. Your Highness is more than 100% in the afternoon.
Those who study, therefore, the situation of meeting foreign ministers every day is before Shen Shi..."
Zhang Yanji shrugged and said, "So that's it. If it's a good thing, Eunuch Wang will lead the way." After saying that, he took out a ingot of silver from his sleeve and sent it to the eunuch Wang.
The eunuch surnamed Wang immediately smiled and said in a harmonious voice: "Young man and the family are so polite, if you let Your Highness know..."
Zhang Yanji coughed lightly: "This is the gift that Zhang admires his father-in-law and gives to his friend, which is different from others."
"Hey, two young men are here to go with the miscellaneous family."
The two followed the steps of the little yellow gate and entered Yanxi Gate one after another. They walked along the palace walls, turned from a side door to a side hall.
The little yellow gate turned around and smiled at the two of them, "Should you wait for a while, wait for the miscellaneous family to report." After that, he turned around and walked into the hall.
The two stood with their hands hanging down in front of the palace gate, looking at each other silently. After about half a cup of tea, the little yellow gate trotted out of the side hall. When they got closer, they wiped the sweat beads from their foreheads and said, "Your Highness, the Highness."
Just after practicing the word, he asked the Zajia to ask the two young men to go to the outer room first, and then his highness came to see them after purging his hands."
Zhang Yanji nodded at him and said lightly, "I'm sorry, father-in-law." Then he walked towards the side hall with Li Kuo.
