Chapter 184
"Sorry, Brother Duff, I didn't expect this to be the case."
After leaving the Han Dynasty Zong family, Ye Chang and Gao Shi did not rush to get on the horse, but led the reins and walked slowly along the street.
Originally, I was looking for the Han Dynasty to recommend Gao Shi to the emperor, but because I didn’t ask about the news carefully, Gao Shi was involved in a political storm. If I didn’t do it well, Gao Shi’s career would be affected by this.
The streets of Chang'an City have improved completely after more than two years of rectification by Han Chaozong. Such a main street has been covered with cement, and the big trees on both sides of the street cast shade at the feet of the two.
Because it is close to the New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year on the street is very lively. Many impatient families have posted couplets - this New Year custom advocated by Ye Chang swept across the entire Central Plains in just two years. This is an era when the Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, all kinds of popular elements and cultures can be recognized and sought after in a very short period of time.
This is the best era and a time of misery. The undercurrents in the court are surging, and those who are not in the middle cannot understand how much risks there are.
Gao Shi has experienced this risk up close today.
"Although Mr. Han's words are still reserved, there is one thing that he has been much better in all aspects of Chang'an City over the past few years as Jingzhao Yin. Although he was wrong, he did not deserve to die, and he did not allow villains like Huo Xianqi to benefit from it." Gao Shi did not comment on his implicated: "It's just that Shiyilang, you are very full just now. I'm afraid it's very difficult to really handle it. Huo Xianqi and Ji Wen were both from the officials' field, but they were not as easy as Yuan Zai and Wang Maha."
The hardest thing to deal with is Li Linfu behind them.
"This matter is not urgent. Mr. Han cannot go through this path. We have to find the rest. Someone must report your name to the saint... This is a bit difficult. Who has both this ability and reliable?"
Ye Chang also had a headache at this time. Only then did he realize that there were too few people who could help him in the court. Princess Yuzhen's limited support gave him a certain ability to protect himself and fight back, but he really wanted to make his own voice in the court, but he was unable to do so.
Ye Chang did not plan to go to Li Shizhi. He was not in harmony with Li Shizhi's son, so he would naturally not make things boring. Princess Yuzhen would not directly intervene in the government affairs, so there are no more big names who may recommend now.
"You don't have to make things too difficult. Our contribution is there. Huangfu Weiming and Bian Lingcheng have memorials. Even if no one recommends it, I will have to give me an official position this time." Gao Shi said with a smile when he saw him.
Ye Chang was a little ashamed. If he hadn't come to Han Chaozong today, it would be easy to seek help from other officials. But when he arrived at Han Chaozong, it would be difficult for others to go there.
"After something happened to Mr. Han, there was a lot of human feelings over there. No wonder he looked like this... He never mentioned Li Xiangjiu just now." Ye Chang mentioned this detail again.
"Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid that Li Shizhi didn't lend a helping hand." Gao Shi curled his lips: "Why are Han Gong so excited and happy when we come to see him?"
Ye Chang smiled bitterly. How could he not be happy? During the few days when Han Chaozong was staying at home, people from all sides were afraid of avoiding it, for fear of being implicated by him. Even the Li Shi party, who had always had a friendly relationship with him, did not lend a helping hand. Although Li Shizhi and others were trying to protect themselves, they must have seen that Li Linfu was the envoy behind this matter, but this... After all, it made Han Chaozong feel disheartened.
Under such circumstances, Ye Chang and Gao Shi came to visit him, which was a timely help.
"In your opinion, how should we lend a helping hand?" Gao Shi asked again.
"I just have a little idea. How to do it, I have to look at the situation on others..."
Ye Chang had just explored Han Chaozong's words. He was already discouraged by his career and only wanted peace. Ye Chang felt that he still had the confidence to keep him safe. After all, Han Chaozong should have a good end in his memory, rather than being executed.
Thinking of this, Ye Chang said to Gao Shi: "This matter cannot be delayed. If you wait until the palace orders come down, it will be too late. Gao Gong, go back and rest for a while. I will go and meet Wannian Wei Jiwen."
"Ji Wen, Liang Bo, you always rely on Mr. Han for his blessing, and he treats you with courtesy. Now Mr. Han is guilty. If you go to see him again, I am afraid that he will take the opportunity to cause trouble and humiliate you." Gao Shi advised: "And he can't say anything about this..."
"He can't speak, Li Linfu can speak." Ye Chang's intention was resolved: "Ji Wen is suspicious. If I go to take the initiative to find him, he will not dare to act without action. He is the one who has seen my methods."
Seeing that he was so confident, Gao Shi stopped persuading him, but just told him to be more careful and asked Nan Jiyun who followed him to pay attention. If there was any mistake, he would come back to report the news. However, Nan Jiyun smiled. If there was any mistake, Yu Qian would protect Ye Chang and escape. I believe that with the means of him and Shanzhi, there would be no problem rushing out of dozens of servants.
Wannian County stable was in the west of the city. It was already noon when Ye Chang arrived. He asked the officer to go in and report that the officer took him half a string of copper coins, but he ran very diligently, but after a long time, he came out, his originally intimate expression became extremely cold.
"Where did the idiot come from? The young man said that even if he wanted to do it, he should go to the powerful people like Jingzhao and what should he do?"
The officer threw Ye Chang's name back, and Nan Jiyun was furious and was about to explode, but Ye Chang stopped him.
"If it's for your own affairs, it will happen, but for the sake of Han Gong, I'll endure it for a while." Ye Chang said.
Nan Jiyun was no longer surprised by Ye Chang's ever-changing temper. Seeing Ye Chang pick up the thorn, then took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted: "Ji County Magistrate, you will have no place to die."
Its support and support went upwards and rushed straight to the clear sky.
Nan Jiyun only felt his face as if it were: Ye Shiyi, you are so enduring for Han Gong
But it was strange. Ye Chang called out three times and was about to leave. The officer dared not let him go again. He went forward and stopped him. At this moment, a person hurried out from inside: "The county magistrate asked Ye Langjun to come in and meet him."
Ye Chang pushed the officer away and entered loudly. Nan Jiyun looked at the monk. The monk spread his hands and said that he didn't know what was going on. At the same time, he muttered in a low voice: "Maybe some people are cheap, and they have to scold them before they meet..."
Of course, Ji Wen was not a slut, and he had to scold him before he could meet him.
Ye Chang's scolding was an attitude, indicating that if Ji Wen disappeared, he would face Ye Chang's trump card next. Ye Chang still dared to scold him at this time, proving that he had some support. Ji Wen's insidious and suspicious personality was naturally going to come out to test it.
"I'm so brave, I actually scolded me before my yamen." Ji Wen said coldly as soon as he saw Ye Chang.
"That's natural. I heard that Mr. Ji was born soon, so I came to pay my respects, but I didn't let me in. Is this rude? Is Mr. Ji not afraid of being in peace after death?"
A gloomy anger flashed in Ji Wen's eyes: "Things that don't know what you know, Ye Chang, do you think that if you have Princess Yuzhen here, you can really be lawless?"
"No, Princess Yuzhen is enough to protect me, but it is not enough to move a Wannianwei... But someone can move you."
"who?"
Ye Chang looked at Ji Wen with a smile. Ji Wen took a breath, calmed his anger, and said in a voice: "What do you know?"
"Mr. Ji is still on duty so late. He is really a model for officials in our dynasty." Ye Chang stood up at this time: "This is the official office. Ye has some private affairs to look for Mr. Ji. It's better to wait for Mr. Ji to finish his official duties... and say goodbye."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without lingering. However, in his heart, he was secretly calculating that if Ji Wen still did not keep him after ten steps, then it goes without saying that Ji Wen's path would not be able to be understood and he had to think of another way.
One step, two steps, three steps, and there is no sound behind you.
Four steps, five steps, six steps, there was a voice behind me, but I sneered disdainfully.
Ye Chang's pace did not change, and then he took the seventh and eighth step. Ji Wen watched his movements behind him. Although the laughter was still there, the expression on his face froze.
Step 9.
"Let's wait..." Ji Wen couldn't help but shout when he saw that Ye Chang was about to walk out of the door.
Ye Chang turned around and clasped his fists with a smile: "This is not a place to speak. If Mr. Ji really wants to teach me, I will be able to wait for the Xiangxuehai to wait for the big way."
"The court ordered officials to go in and out at will...the market..."
Before Ji Wen could finish his words, Ye Chang disappeared from his sight. Ji Wen had a gloomy face, looked out the door, and then glared at one corner of the wall.
"Have you heard enough, get out of here after you hear enough"
The officer hiding outside the wall jumped up in shock, hitting his head on the wooden board, making a loud sound. Ji Wen was thinking about what Ye Chang was going to say, too lazy to argue with them, but just hummed again.
The officers immediately rolled and crawled.
Ji Wen cursed again, the yamen was like a sieve, and there were walls with leaking air everywhere. Ye Chang refused to explain to him here, and maybe there was a reason.
The so-called Xiangxuehai is a teahouse recently opened in Chang'an City. The teahouse is located in the west city. Because there is half a acre of plum blossoms in the back yard. When winter comes, the fragrance of flowers and tea fragrance is shared together, which is a rare and elegant place. It is said that after Li Longji heard about it, he also yearned for it, which makes people do it in his Xingqing Palace.
Few people know that behind this Xiangxuehai is still Ye Chang.
Leaving the ball market and withdrawing from Chang'an City does not mean that Ye Chang has no arrangements in Chang'an. This Xiangxue Sea is one of his arrangements. First, it can promote a new way of drinking tea. Ye Chang firmly believes that tea is a hobby, which will definitely lead the world, and his new tea ceremony will spread all over the world. Second, Ye Chang also has a place to find out some necessary information.
But he himself did not care too much about this chess, so after returning to Chang'an, he did not come to Xiangxuehai. It was not until he found something was wrong with Han Chaozong that he remembered his chess. If he returned to Chang'an, he would first contact him, so how could such a mistake be made?
When he arrived in front of the Xiangxuehai Gate, he saw a handsome servant sweeping the snow on the ground with all his might. At this time, it was snowing but not heavy. Just a few pieces were accumulated, and the servant immediately swept the side. Seeing his diligent appearance, Ye Chang smiled and said, "The snow is constantly sweeping you clean?"
The servant looked only eleven or twelve years old. He raised his face and said seriously: "Even if this is the case, if you don't clean it, how can you clean it?
Ye Chang was stunned, and Shanzhi next to him said "Amitabha": "Okay, good boy, have wisdom."
But the servant glared at him: "I don't like monks."
Now Ye Chang laughed: "Why don't you like monks? He is praising you."
The servant didn't say anything, just caring about sweeping the snow by himself. At this time, the shopkeeper in the teahouse heard the sound and saw that it was Ye Chang, he said happily: "It's Langjun. Ye Langjun, have you come back from Longyou?"
"I'm back - it's been a few days. I've invited someone to come, is there anyone in my quiet room?"
"This...no." The shopkeeper's surname is Si, who was originally a manager in the football market. He had read a book for a while. Because he was a bit irrelevant with Jia Maoer, he became a figure in Ye Chang's interest group. He is a very elegant person, and it is more than enough to host this teahouse.
His tone changed slightly, and Ye Chang didn't care: "Since that's the case, then I'll go over and someone comes to ask me, you just come here just to bring it straight
Ye Chang said while inside, the Xiangxuehai Teahouse was designed by him. There is a corner building at the east and west ends of the building. The so-called quiet room is the corner at the easternmost end. Here you can see the canal bank outside the west city and the plum blossoms in the backyard, which is the most elegant place.
After entering the elegant room, a beautiful girl came in to make tea. In the so-called teahouse, besides tea, there are naturally other things, and there are no need to mention the tea and refreshments. There are also some books published by the Ye Family Yinfang, mostly poetry and essays, and some are also interesting.
Confucian scholars pay attention to elegance, spend time here, exchange reading experience, and talk about poetry and lyrics. A half-day passed in a blink of an eye. A elegant seat like this is very good business, and there are already people in Chang'an City imitating this.
But it’s just that there is a bit of a bad idea without Xiangxuehai’s good tea after all.
Shortly after Ye Chang sat down, he heard an angry female voice coming: "It was obvious that he had ordered the Xiang Pavilion, why were he brought to this Fang Pavilion?"
Ye Chang was stunned. Xiangge was the quiet room he wanted. Thinking of the shopkeeper's expression just now, he realized that the shopkeeper's temporary release of this room.
"It's not a matter of money. How can my wife not afford the shopkeeper? You..."
Then the shopkeeper whispered apology, and Ye Chang frowned slightly. This was caused by the shopkeeper's inauthentic behavior and flattery. He grew up and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Si, since someone has already ordered Xiangge, you should put the guests first. In this way, please come to Xiangge, and you will be exempted from spending today."
The shopkeeper Si looked a little embarrassed, and he didn't want to flatter him and slapped the horse's hooves.
The angry woman over there looked over: "You know what you are interested..."
Ye Chang was displeased with this face. He was still behaved when he asked for a bargain and deserved a beating. However, before Ye Chang could still take a break, he heard the woman loweringly and stopped the woman.
"What's wrong?" the angry woman said in surprise.
"I know..." The person who stopped her stepped forward and bowed to Ye Changyingying: "I have met Langjun Ye."
