These three of them are all passionate people, and they all think that it is a big deal and must be extraordinary.

However, judging from the expressions of the three of them, it is not a bad thing.

But Ye Chang still felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. He calmed down and said, "What's the big deal for you, three?"

"I have discussed it all these days when we gather. What you said last time is really shocking, so I decided to go to the border to understand the border situation in order to prepare for emergencies." Li Qi was older, so he spoke first.

"ah?"

Ye Chang opened his mouth wide, and he explained his views on the border issues to these people, with the purpose of creating public opinion against marriage, but he never thought that he seemed to have gone too far, which aroused the idea of ​​these three people going to the border to explore.

Among these people, Li Qi is over fifty years old, Gao Shi is forty years old, and Cen Shen is young, twenty-nine years old. Gao Shi and Cen Shen are fine, but Li Qi is at this age... what's going to get to the border?

Ye Chang swallowed and blew it, "It's really a big deal... I don't know where someone can serve you?"

"Of course, you Ye Changran is indispensable." Li Qi smiled and said, "It's just four words, you pay for money and people."

"ah?"

"You are a rich man, and you are not as wealthy as your family when we tied together. This money will naturally fall on you."

As the saying goes, friends have a friendship with wealth. It is common for literati to give each other aid. When Ye Chang left Chang'an for the first time, He Zhizhang, Zhang Xu and others gave him a lot of money. After hearing this request, Ye Chang laughed silently: "It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk about... I don't know if someone is interested in someone around me?"

Jia Maoer is the most useful thing around him, and then Shanzhi and Nanba, who are mainly responsible for his safety. Ye Chang thought that the three of them might have to borrow these two people for the safety of their journey. Shanzhi was easy to say, and was clamoring that they were too boring in Luoyang, but Nanba was willing to spend a year and a half to accompany these three people to the border, and also seek his own opinions.

"It's not someone else, but you, Ye Shiyi."

"ah"

Ye Chang pointed to the tip of his nose and saw that the three of them nodded again. He couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Lend him... It turned out that he was invited to visit the border

He was unwilling to run to the border. You know, there was no train at this time, and it would be smooth to spend more than half a year running to the border. He had so many plans and it took time. How could he run to the border if he had time to run to the border?

"This... I still have something to do in Luoyang..."

"Didn't you just say that you don't need to experience Luoyang's affairs personally?" Cen Shen pointed at him with a smile: "Ye Shiyi, you are so unhappy."

"I mean, uh, there is still something wrong in Luoyang after the New Year... No, Brother Cen, aren't you going to the imperial examination?"

Ye Chang was originally trying to give her reasons to refuse, but suddenly saw Cen Shen's smile-like expression and said with a clue.

"Hahahaha... I knew that Ye Shiyi was as cunning as a fox, and he would definitely think of it." Gao Shi smiled and smiled.

Li Qi nodded and said helplessly: "When it comes to knowing people, Gundamfu is the most... However, Ye Shiyi, you are wrong. We don't do it immediately.

It’s not just a trip that can go on. Apart from burning your head, who would run around without any preparation? Ye Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but then Li Qi’s words made him panic again.

"We decided to set off next summer and go to Shuofang Lulong first to see the more stable Northeast. From the next year to the northwest, and then go to Tubo again after the next year... In early summer, the imperial examinations have already been released, and you, Ye Shiyi, will have half a year to cook housework."

Ye Chang looked bitter and almost started cursing.

This is obviously a problem forcing others to do. Li Qi and the other two really want to pull him into the water.

"This...this..."

"Ye Shiyi, is it that you are also a man of war on paper, saying that you are worried about national affairs, but in fact you are unwilling to do your best?" Cen Shen was a little impatient: "No matter how important your business is, is it more important than an imperial examination?"

Ye Chang really wanted to say that his affairs were indeed more important than Cen Shen's imperial examination, but if he really said that, he would inevitably turn against him. If he had turned against him a year ago, he would turn against him, but after so many things, Ye Chang already had a different idea.

He had to maintain a good connection for himself, and Li Qi, Gao Shi and Cen Shen were all companions that could be acquired.

But he really doesn't want to go this trip.

Although he did not know the specific situation of the border, he understood the general situation. Because Li Linfu was worried that the border general would enter the court to become prime minister, the border Dali now uses Hu people, no matter which direction it is the case.

With a sudden inspiration, he thought of an excuse: "To be honest, the three of you remember that in the future, the population will grow and the food and clothing will be insufficient, which will cause a strange disaster to the country?"

"That's right, the three of us want to go along, and that's why."

"I had planned this matter for a long time. I heard that in the southern barbarians, there was a kapok that could weave gems and lent the two farms of Princess Yuzhen to try to plant kapok. If I could get it, I would add something to the silk and hemp to cover the world." Ye Chang said: "The border matters are not in a hurry, but the kapok cultivation should not delay the season."

Li Qi and the other two were silent, but looked at Ye Chang suspiciously. Ye Chang had no choice but to add: "Besides, fighting in the north, the weather was cold and the soldiers were damaged, so most of them were. This Jibeibu can make cotton coats, and the effect of keeping cold is like fur. If all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can wear them..."

"It really works?"

"If you don't believe me, when the kapok is planted next year, I will give you a cotton coat and try it out with you in person."

After all the words were said, Li Qi and the other two couldn't persuade him anymore. They came with excitement, but returned disappointed. Seeing them leaving, Ye Chang touched his forehead with his hands and sighed: "Lucky, lucky..."

This time he was fooled by luck.

He immediately frowned again. These three people were determined and determined, and they were afraid they would not give up their plans easily.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly brought Ding Dian: "Ding Dian, I will hand over the matter here to you today. I have an urgent matter and I will go back to my hometown first. I have already taken leave from the Ming Gong. I have also told you about your contribution here. I will resign and recommend it to Ming Gong..."

Ding Dianshi has been following Ye Chang in the past two months, doing a lot of things. Ye Chang is often only responsible for planning and specific implementation, or Ding Dianshi has done more. Ye Chang sees all this, so he has this trick when he is leaving.

"Ah? I want to learn more with Ye Lushi..." Ding Dianshi was surprised, and then she burst into tears: "Thank you Mr. Ye"

At a young age, he was called "public". Ye Chang was very uncomfortable, but at least he was not Eunuch Ye. He completed the handover as quickly as possible, turned around and greeted Shanzhi: "Master Shanzhi, let's go back to pack your bags."

"Why is it so urgent?" Shanzhi was a little surprised.

"It's not enough to be anxious. Those three are afraid that they will not give up. They will come again in two days - maybe they will come this afternoon." Ye Chang said anxiously: "If you want to come again, the three of them are prepared, and it's not easy to get rid of them. Monk, do you want to go to the border?"

Shanzhi said indifferently: "Just be able to eat enough, and if you have wine and meat, you will be on the side of the road..."

Ye Chang shook his head and asked about this wine bag but it was useless.

Nan Jiyun was a soldier from Luoyang City. Ye Chang just returned home and could not take him away, so Ye Chang didn't even ask. With his companion, he left at noon that day and left Luoyang City.

As he had shown, in the afternoon, Li Qi and the other two came to look for him again. After learning that he had left Luoyang, the three of them looked at each other.

"Mr. Ye said, if some people need wealth to be strong, just say it to someone." Jia Maoer stayed in Luoyang, and he looked at the people with a smile: "But in a few days, someone will leave."

"Let this guy escape," Cen Shen shouted, "Go and chase?"

"Catch up on Xiuwu?" Gao Shi shook his head and smiled deeply: "Don't worry, there will be a time to meet again. Ye Shiyi wants to lie high in Wolong Valley... I'm afraid that someone will not agree."

"who?"

Gao Shi smiled and pointed at the sky, without answering again.

Everyone understood that this heaven was not God.

The person who was alluded to by Gao Shi is now in Xingqing Palace in Chang'an City. He has just returned from the Hot Spring Palace in Mount Li. He is a little tired and not very energetic.

After all, he is an old man.

Gao Lishi quietly glanced at Li Longji, and Li Longji had a smile on his face: "What's wrong in the court?"

Li Linfu, who was in the next head, bowed: "The saint is blessed, the world is peaceful, everything is normal in the court..."

"Well, it's normal. I'm tired. Let's take a break first. It depends on you in the major national affairs."

"Do you dare not do your best to repay Your Majesty's kindness?" Li Linfu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave."

After Li Linfu stepped down, Li Longji sighed and stretched his arms: "I'm old... I'm old, General Gao, I haven't left Chang'an for ten years, and there is nothing wrong in the world. I want to entrust all the political affairs to Li Linfu. What do you think?"

Gao Lishi was shocked.

Li Longji rarely shows such an old look, especially in front of Li Linfu.

Gao Lishi quickly calculated that Li Linfu was able to be today, one was because he was quite capable, and the other was because he had the help in the harem. Among these help, Gao Lishi also included him.

Therefore, after a brief moment of shock, he bowed down and said, "The emperor's patrol was an ancient system. The power of the world should not be borrowed from others. If others use the power of the emperor to achieve their own power, who dares to reconsider it?"

This is a clear opposition to Li Longji's complete handover of authority to Li Linfu.

Li Longji looked at him with a very unhappy expression.

Gao Lishi's heart was shocked: I guessed wrongly, is Your Majesty really old and tired, rather than suspecting that he had collusion with Li Linfu?

Thinking of this, he knelt down and kowtowed: "I am crazy and occasionally speak wildly. This is a death sentence. I also ask Your Majesty to punish me."

Seeing him so frightened, Li Longji suddenly became happy again. He laughed and ordered his left and right, "General Gao is sincere, and I'll buy him wine..."

The inner prisoners on both sides shouted long live. After a while, the wine was ready and the hall became lively again. Gao Lishi, who had already stood up, sweated on his forehead. Li Longji asked with a smile: "Why is General Gao sweating down?"

"This... the charcoal fire in the hall is very strong, and I can't bear the heat, so I sweated down."

Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji was not asking him, but beating him, and he also answered according to Li Longji's words. In his heart, he secretly swore that he would never express any opinions on state affairs again.

The banquet was in full swing, and an in-house minister came over there, but it was Zhang Pei who asked for a visit.

"Why did he come again after parting just now?" Li Longji's mood improved at this time. Hearing this, he said, "Let him come in."

Although Zhang Pei was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, he did not care much about serious political affairs. He usually talked about his father-in-law and son-in-law. After a while, he appeared in front of Li Longji. Gao Lishi looked at him, and saw that he was smiling, but his eyes flashed, showing that he was thinking.

"Son-in-law, what's wrong with me?" Li Longji asked while drinking and enjoying the fun.

"I am accepting the special encounter of Your Majesty and follow the Hot Spring Palace. Now that I am back, I will handle these affairs that have been accumulated over time. However, I heard Li Bai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, say something. I think this matter is serious and I must report it to Your Majesty."

"oh?"

When Li Longji heard that it was related to Li Bai, he felt a little annoyed.

Last year, Li Bai went to Beijing, and with the recommendation of everyone, he was able to join the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor's degree. At the beginning, Li Longji loved his talent and favored him quite a bit, but now more than a year has passed, Li Longji's attitude has gradually changed.

Although this boy is talented, he can only be a scholar of articles and writers. He is just a top-notch expert in the Warring States Period. He is not able to do practical things. He has poor vision and cannot control his words. He likes to talk nonsense when he says what he says is not right.

Originally, Li Bai was quite kind to others, so he was known as a "loof flower". However, after being valued by Li Longji, his spirit changed and he acted arrogantly and rudely. For example, Zhang Pei, who originally recommended Li Bai to Li Longji, but now he doesn't like him.

"I wonder what amazing poems Li Taibai has?" Li Longji asked.

"But someone came from Luoyang and told Li Bai some things, and Li Bai passed it in the Hanlin Academy." Zhang Pei said calmly: "It is said that Ye Chang was in Luoyang City and gathered with Zhang Xu and others. During this period, he criticized the current border strategy without authorization, and Li Bai deeply agreed..."

Ye Chang's words in the Zuixian Tower were heard from Li Bai. Li Bai was prone to excitement and felt that it made sense. In addition, when Li Longji went to the Hot Spring Palace in Mount Li, Zhang Pei also followed him. Li Bai had no restrictions in the Hanlin Academy, and naturally he would talk nonsense with a big mouth, either commenting or slandering, but in short, he didn't have a few good words.

There were naturally people in the Hanlin Academy who were jealous of his talented people staring at him, and immediately reported to Zhang Pei after Zhang Pei came back.

Zhang Pei was like a treasure - this could make the two people he disliked were unlucky at the same time, so he couldn't wait to listen to Li Longji. However, he deliberately ignored Ye Chang's three poems, so he did not want Li Longji to be moved by his poems.

Listening to Ye Chang's comments on border affairs and Li Bai's criticism, Li Longji was furious: "Sir, how bold."

"Sage, this evil saying is only a turbulent person, and it is a slander for resentment and curse, so you must punish him." Zhang Pei took the opportunity to say.

Gao Lishi curled his lips, but did not dare to say anything. He had been beaten just now, and what he could do now is silence.
