The Gaochang Rebellion and the turbulent dispute over the reserves immediately made the limelight in Chang'an City much more tense.

It was clearly the New Year's Day in the first lunar month, but I felt a sense of panic, and the various palaces were moving more and more diligently.

But among these, Changsun Wuji is an exception. He doesn't go anywhere during the New Year Festival, but stays at home every day to enjoy his grandchildren and share family life, completely deafing his eyes.

Changsun Sikong's actions made many people confused about what mystery he was doing. Some people probably thought that he would be embarrassed, but they didn't know that he had received a hint from His Majesty Li Er.

It is precisely because of this reason that many sensible people have fallen into thinking and worry, such as Fang Xuanling...

As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, his youngest son married Princess Gaoyang as his son-in-law, and his daughter married into the royal family and became Princess Han. The Fang family was extremely favored and popular for a while.

But there is a saying that the high place is too cold. The more you are in a high position, the more cautious you become, and even a little nervous.

Is the emperor who has been in power for more than ten years a prime minister who has been in power completely trusting and has no suspicion? Think about the consequences of prime ministers in all dynasties in the past.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, reigned for decades, and the prime minister alone changed thirteen. Which one of them has been in office as long as he has?

Don’t look at the glory and favor now, can you really rest assured?

Fang Xuanling was very nervous and had been a little worried. Today, he dared not make a definite statement in the court. There are probably reasons why he did not dare to make a definite judgment in the court.

But the more this happened, he became more and more anxious, especially after seeing the emperor favoring King Li Tai of Wei, Fang Xuanling became even more interested in avoiding it.

Many people are hiding in the sidelines now, but he doesn't want to stand on the sidelines, but he is in the position of prime minister, so it is difficult to be detached from the matter. Moreover, his second son Fang Yiai is also a son-in-law, and he has contact with those two uncles.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Fang Xuanling felt that it might be time for him to change his position and never move to the prime minister. If he didn't have some self-knowledge, it would be a terrible thing.

Maybe, this prime minister shouldn't be here anymore...

...

When you see the small things, people in high positions can always take the lead in smelling abnormalities. Avoid risks or seize opportunities, but sometimes they are easily worried about nothing.

Xie Yi did not have this problem at all. Although he was not in a high position, he was more high-level than anyone else and understood the most. What’s more important is that he still controls an ace and is almost invincible. Why worry?

Since it is the New Year, stay at home and enjoy the joy of the New Year. Must be uneasy due to many unnecessary things?

Since the New Year's Day court meeting, Xie Yi has gone home.

In order to avoid suspicion, they only sent New Year gifts to the familiar governments, but their own did not visit the New Year in person. The situation this year is special, so I believe that the old dukes would not mind either. Maybe they want no one to visit now. It is best to thank the guests behind closed doors.

Anyway, Xie Yi made up his mind that he would not go anywhere before the polo match of the Spring Festival and stay in his home obediently. The matter of sending troops to Gaochang had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to participate in the dispute over the position.

What I want most now is to be happy and leisurely, but after I went to Xue Yantuo to reward merits and practices, there will be arrangements after the Lantern Festival at the latest.

This cooked duck cannot fly.

So Xie Yi became one of the few extremely calm people in Chang'an City. He either surrounded the fire to watch the snow or played Liubo chess every day. Except for having a bit of affection with his two ladies at night, it was really meaningless.

After thinking about it, Xie Yi decided to make some things by himself, and then drew the drawings and handed them to Lu Tong. Within two days, a brand new mahjong was sent to Huaiyang County Bo Mansion.

Of course, there is no plastic these days, but as Xie Yi ordered, Lu Tong actually found enough Hetian jade and carved it carefully.

Xie Yi was very surprised when he saw it. He was just making a home game. Is it a bit too luxurious...

How much is so much Hetian jade worth? If the whole piece is not cut, and it is slightly polished and carved, and made into other utensils, the price is even more immeasurable.

Now it has become mahjong, and it can't help but feel a bit wasteful of resources. Xie Yi really wants to criticize Lu Tong, which is too extravagant.

However, Lu Tong disagreed and said, "It's just a little jade. It was bought from a Hu merchant in the Western Regions several months ago. At that time, the Gaochang Rebellion had not yet occurred, and the Silk Road had not been cut off, so the price was not very expensive.

Now that the trade routes in the west are cut off, you may be able to sell them at a good price, but the most important thing is to enjoy Alang. An Yixuan’s business is booming, with more than half of the jade. Let Alang and his wife use it easily, and the quality is the key, and the others are not important."

Well, filial piety is commendable. Everyone below said this, so Xie Yi can only accept it with a smile. Isn’t it just a little money? Is the Xie family short? As a prodigal son, he should have the style of a prodigal son.

How many gods should be killed in Hetian jade in seconds in the future? But the material is precious, I can’t even touch it easily. If the thing is broken, then...

Who would have thought that Lu Tong would give some preparations thoughtfully, claiming that if there is any fragmentation, it can ensure that the same material can be carved and repaired as soon as possible...

If someone is so considerate, what else can you worry about?

It’s just that four people have to play mahjong, but there is still a lack of one place. I knew I should have done some poker and Landlord, but the material of that thing is not easy to find. The current papermaking level is much worse.

The facts proved that Xie Yi's worries were completely unnecessary. After sorting them out, he directly pulled Wu Er's wife over, so the four of them were just right.

Xie Yi was inevitably a little embarrassed when he saw Mr. Wu; Mr. Wu was the same, and at first he was even embarrassed to look up...

Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan not only did not think of a solution, but also wanted to join in the fun, wanting to "deteriorate" the situation. However, Xie Yi insisted on it, just to prevent them from succeeding, so the two ladies had nothing to say.

I had to follow Xie Yi to learn mahjong. The rules were very simple. Three smart women quickly learned the seven-seven-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-

However, in a few days, the three women and women have become masters of mahjong, especially Wu Er, who is smart and good at calculating. What's more, his luck is that he often feels inferior to Xie Yi.

Throughout the New Year, the three of them seemed to be fascinated and became interested in playing mahjong. Originally, Xie Yi planned to get tired of it on the kang for a while, but Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan pulled it to the mahjong table early. I don’t know if he was really interested or uneasy?

Xie Yi said helplessly: "What if I go to court after the Lantern Festival, what if I don't have anyone to play with you?"

"That's not simple, just find someone else. It's best if you marry another one..." (To be continued.)
