Chapter 9 Old Friends Meet

Pei Min and Gao Lishi looked at each other, and they both understood their own meanings and shone their hearts.

The two walked out of the palace again.

Arriving outside the palace, Pei Min said goodbye to Gao Lishi.

"Duke, wait!" Gao Lishi looked at Pei Min and turned around and suddenly shouted.

Pei Min turned around and heard what else was going on in Gao Lishi.

He seemed to hesitate for a while, and only heard him say, "I took an adopted son before, do you still remember it?"

Pei Min naturally would not forget it and said, "Of course I remember that it has been a few years and I am already lively now."

Gao Lishi said: "Yan'er is six years old this year. It's amazing. During the early 100th day of ritual, Yan'er picked up the scriptures of the three religions, including the seal, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, pens, inkstones, abacus, coins, accounts, jewelry, food, etc., but he loved a small wooden sword and was reluctant to let go. At that time, he joked that this boy was afraid that he loved the sword as his life, and did not want to make a prophecy."

"Yan'er has liked to play since she was a child and loves swordsmanship. The world is so great that no one can compare with the Duke of the Kingdom. If the Duke of the Kingdom has free time, he might as well teach him one move and half of the move."

Pei Min responded to Gao Lishi's strange request and said, "It is unknown whether my mistress has the talent for learning swords. Xiao Ba does not love this, and I will not force it. As of now, only Taibai has inherited some of my sword skills and some of them have not found successors. As long as he has outstanding qualifications, he can only give them all. Even if he is limited by his talent, he can guarantee that he will not bully others."

Say goodbye to Gao Lishi again. Although Pei Min was a little puzzled by Gao Lishi's final request, he was very satisfied with his gain this time.

Before coming, Pei Min was worried that Li Longji had completely turned evil, and he really lost his mind for women like King You of Zhou who was playing with the princes.

If Li Longji knew that Yang Jieyu used such arrogant means to occupy the magpie's nest without asking, Pei Min would not have any hope for Li Longji.

Such ugly things can be accepted and indifferent, so what else can't be done?

Fortunately, Li Longji is the only one who is kept in the dark.

All the civil and military officials in the court knew about this, but Concubine Yang was too favored, and Wang Hui was powerful.

So no one dared to mention this matter in front of Li Longji, and some even suspected that Li Longji was an insider.

With Song Jing's withdrawal, the administration of the temple was no longer the same.

The censor who dared to speak out in a blunt manner had already left the temple and lost the opportunity to speak.

Of course Pei Min also knew Li Longji's temperament. He would not punish Concubine Yang and Wang Hui for such trivial matters, but he would not indulge the two of them to destroy their good reputation in this way.

He would try every means to maintain his already "stinky" fame, and it would be impossible for Concubine Yang to occupy the magpie's nest.

In feudal society, Pei Min dared not say anything about the legal system, but he could not bear the upright robbery behavior of Yang Jieyu.

This time was also a warning from him to Concubine Yang. Don’t think that if you hold a thigh and find a man, you can do whatever you want.

************

It's just dawning!

Chen Xilie returned home and had not had time to rest, so he went straight into the study and read the "Book of Changes".

As the saying goes, there is a beauty in books and a golden house in books.

This is not completely false.

Chen Xilie is a good example.

Chen Xilie did not have any prominent family background, but he is now a subordinate minister, a Grand Secretary of Jixian Academy, and a Grand Secretary of Chongxuan Pavilion. He has a great status in the temple.

What he achieved so much is knowledge.

Chen Xilie is a scholar who reads a lot of books and is proficient in the theory of Taoism. He became famous for his knowledge of Taoist classics.

Taoism in Li Tang was a national religion. Li Longji attached great importance to Taoism. He heard Chen Xilie's name and personally summoned him to the palace to explain the "Laozi" and "Book of Changes", and was moved to the Secretary's Scholar's Supervisor.

Chen Xilie was particularly sleek and often pleased Li Longji with his fairy talisman.

If the moon is bigger, it is a sign of great luck when the bright moon is in the sky.

If there are more stars, it means that the gathering of stars symbolizes the prosperity of all things in the Tang Dynasty.

These deceiving words can fool kings like Li Longji and make them happy.

When Li Longji was happy, Chen Xilie naturally had a prosperous career and became the current assistant minister, serving as the Grand Secretary of Jixian Academy and the Grand Secretary of Chongxuan Pavilion.

Tomorrow he said that when he was giving lectures to Li Longji, although he knew that Li Longji was not here and even if he was listening to the lecture, he had to prepare carefully to avoid an accident.

Chen Xilie was able to understand the Book of Changes thoroughly, and he was also gifted in this area. He could only read it for a moment and become addicted to it.

Until he woke up from the servants' heavy knocks on the door.

Chen Xilie was humble and frowned slightly, but did not get angry, but said calmly: "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I read the book?"

The servant said, "It was an old friend who came to visit, saying that he was a staff member under Duke Pei, Li Linfu."

Chen Xilie was stunned and suddenly stood up.

Duke Pei's aides are not ordinary people. With Pei Min's current status, his aides are certainly not considered as the court's establishment, but their status is well-known.

Especially Pei Min's left and right hands, Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu, they all have the show of third-rank officials when they are taken out, and their fame has already spread rumors.

Among them, Li Linfu was more famous than Zhang Jiuling's ostentatious behavior. He wandered among the princes in the Western Regions and called them brothers and brothers.

Even in Chang'an, there are his deeds.

As a person in the officialdom, Chen Xilie naturally heard of it.

Moreover, Chen Xilie also heard a rumor that in this battle, Pei Min conquered Qinghai Lake and defeated the Arab invincible Lion King. Li Longji intended to be the king of Pei Min.

The title of king for military merits was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Even Li Jing, Su Dingfang, and Li Shiji did not have such honor.

But when you think about it carefully, Pei Min's achievements at this moment were only more or less than those famous generals, and it was reasonable to be named king.

If Pei Min was truly a king, his status and power would be more powerful. Being able to get to know Pei Min's right-hand man would be of no harm to his career.

"Hurry, invite Brother Lin Fu into the living room, I will welcome you in full dress."

He said as he sorted out his clothes and ran to meet Li Linfu.

"Brother Lin Fu!"

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

Li Linfu also stood up to meet him and said, "Brother Chen, it's been a long time since we met."

Chen Xilie and Li Linfu had a short relationship, but they had relationships.

Li Linfu was favored by his uncle Jiang Jiao in his early years. Jiang Jiao was Li Longji's best friend in the past. He was promoted to Taichangqing and was also the secretary-general. Chen Xilie was the secretary-general at the beginning and served in Jiang Jiao.

The two have this relationship and get to know each other.

However, Li Linfu's status was low back then, but Qianniu, who was guarding the door, did not have any in-depth contact with him.

Li Linfu also felt that Chen Xilie was of no use to him and had a cold relationship.
