Tibet

The news of the new Prime Minister finally came out. Wei Jiansu was appointed as the Minister of Right Pushe and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yang Guozhong was appointed as the Minister of Huangmen and the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and Zhang Jun was appointed as the Minister of the Right Minister and the Minister of the Prince Zhan.

Li Linfu continued to serve as the Secretary of the Right Prime Minister, and Chen Xilie continued to serve as the Minister of the Left Prime Minister.

The five of them are all Pingzhangshi under Zhongshu's sect, and jointly set up the political affairs hall, and also set up the administrative pen, which rotates once a year.

The ruling pen is the essence of the polyphase system. Everyone takes turns to control the government to prevent one person from being dictatorial.

It's just that Li Linfu has been stealing the ruling pen for more than ten years, and now it has finally been broken.

This means the end of Li Linfu's era of monopolizing power.

Yu Wenjing, who originally had a high reputation for becoming the Prime Minister, lost his chance because of the case of his grandson Yu Wen Siwu. In addition, Yu Wen Siwu's evil deeds were serious. Yu Wenjing was impeached by the Yushitai and dismissed the Minister of War. He was also disheartened. He said he was sick at home and did not leave the house.

Li Linfu immediately recommended General Qianniu Wei Yuan to concurrently serve as Minister of War, and was granted the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu.

Although the Minister of War is a fictitious position and has no real power, it is of great significance to Yuan Yue. It is a key step for Yuan Yue to transform from a military general to a civilian official.

………

At noon that day, Black Spear came to Taixue and found Li Ye.

Li Ye poured him a bowl of water and asked with a smile: "How is my daughter?"

Black Spear said gratefully: "My grandfather and grandmother love her very much. Plus I gave her three hundred taels of silver, so my uncle and aunt stopped talking."

Li Ye smiled and said: "Tomorrow you come with me to Gao Lishi's house. You can also play a few games for him and earn some money for your daughter. Then we will go to Anxi together. I will find you a military position in the Anxi Army." , you will stay in Anxi, find a woman in Anxi, and then take your daughter over."

Black Spear knew that the young master must have deep intentions in leaving him in Anxi. He nodded, "I humbly obey the order!"

One of the important reasons why Li Ye liked Black Spear was because of his figure. He was nearly two meters tall, had long hands and feet, and was extremely strong. He was a natural Mo Dao general.

Li Ye wanted to recommend him to Gao Xianzhi and make him Li Siye's deputy general.

Black Spear added: "I heard from Zhang Ping that the young master wants to kill Wu Gui. This matter can be left to Beizhi. I guarantee that I can kill him without anyone noticing."

Li Ye was filled with rage and wanted to kill Wu Gui at the time, but after a few days he slowly calmed down. He must kill that demon, but not now. Killing him now would bring huge trouble to himself and his family.

Li Ye smiled and said: "I admire the white-footed wolf king on the grassland the most. He is tenacious, patient, calm, and can escape with one blow. I always remind myself that I also want to become the white-footed wolf king. You Do you understand me?"

"I understand the humble position!"

Li Ye patted his arm, "I asked you to come here just to tell you that you will go to Gao Lishi's house with me tomorrow morning. There is no other intention."

Black Spear nodded, "I'll take my leave now for my humble duty!"

Black Spear bowed and left. Li Ye was pacing back and forth in the room alone. He suddenly didn't want to stay in Chang'an anymore. His heart had already flown to Anxi, deserts, oasis, Populus euphratica, camels, and maybe he would meet them again. Another white-footed wolf king.

At this time, the courtyard suddenly became lively, as if Wei Song and the others had returned from get out of class.

"He lives in that room, he should be there! I'll knock on the door for you." It was Wei Song's voice.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Wei Song laughed and said, "You are so unexpected! Come out quickly, someone is looking for you."

Li Ye stood up and opened the door, "Who's looking for me?"

When he looked up, Li Ye was stunned. He saw Suzaku standing in the yard with a half-smile but not a smile. She changed back into a red warrior uniform, still wearing a mask.

Li Ye suddenly remembered that he seemed a little unreasonable to her in Lefang, and he quickly clasped his fists and said with a smile, "How did senior sister know that I was studying in Taixue?"

Suzaku smiled slightly and said: "Since I am your senior sister, I don't even know where you study. This senior sister is too unqualified."

Wei Song and the other two cheered from the side: "Ah Ye, hurry up and take your senior sister to have lunch! We happen to be free and can accompany you."

"No! You're not free, you're busy."

Li Ye blocked their opportunity to curry favor with Suzaku, and the three of them winked and then went back to their rooms.

Li Ye smiled and said: "I'll invite senior sister to have lunch, it's nearby!"

"Okay! But what about my horse and bow and arrows?"

"Put your things in my room first, and I'll store the horses for you."

Li Ye put Suzaku's belongings into his room, closed the door, and walked out of Taixue with Suzaku.

The two of them came to Sanyuan Tavern. There were only two or three tables in the tavern and it was very quiet. They sat down at the small table in the innermost place. Li Ye ordered a few dishes and asked for a bottle of wine.

"I was angry that day and was a little rude to my senior sister. I'm sorry!"

Suzaku smiled lightly and said: "My brother has already told me that Wu Ying and Yu Wen Siwu hang out together all day long and are full of evil. If you kill him, he deserves it. I am just afraid that you will offend the Wu family. After all, his father is the uncle of the state. .”

"Is the bearded guy next to you your brother?"

Suzaku smiled and nodded, "He is my third brother. It was his birthday that day. He invited a large group of friends to the music hall to celebrate. We also happened to meet Wu Ying. If he was my brother's friend, my brother would definitely intervene. "

"It seems your brother is also a soldier?"

"He is the commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army, and his name is Lonely Jinyang."

Only then did Li Ye learn about Zhuque's family background. It turned out that she was the daughter of the Dugu family. No wonder she was Lie Feng's apprentice.

"I only know Dugu Lie."

Suzaku pursed his lips and smiled: "He is my father!"

"turn out to be."

Li Ye looked stunned, nodded and smiled: "It seems that you are from a family of military generals."

Suzaku blinked and smiled mischievously: "Yes, that's why dad always said that he would find me a husband who is a Jinshi."

At this time, the bartender served them wine and food. Li Ye filled a glass of wine for Suzaku and said with a smile: "This wine is not very good. The store can't help it. Let's have a drink!"

"My father wants to find me a husband who is a Jinshi. Why don't you ask me what I think?"

"Well, actually, I think literary or martial arts are not very important. What's important is that you like yourself. Of course, your character also needs to be good. It's best to ignore people like Falcon."

"Don't even think about it!"

Suzaku raised his glass and smiled: "My father admires you very much and told me a lot about your stay in Shuofang."

Li Ye chuckled, "Your father doesn't want me to take the Jinshi exam, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ye knew that he had said the wrong thing. Zhuque suddenly blushed and turned his head quickly. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask and could not see her shyness.

Li Ye was really embarrassed. He smiled for a while and said, "How is your master's health?"

Li Ye quickly changed the topic, "Did she mention me?"

"Yes! I was talking about you yesterday, saying that you are a troublemaker and don't give her peace all day long."

Li Ye scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Where did I get into trouble?"

"Master said it has something to do with the Xue tribe, you know it!"

"Xue Tribe? That happened last year. Did your master say anything specific?"

Suzaku shook his head, "She didn't say anything specific. She said that many people want to kill you to make a fortune, and that you are very dangerous in Chang'an."

Li Ye roughly guessed that Cheng Qianli told him last year that the new chief of the Xue tribe offered a reward for his life.

Li Ye nodded, "Actually, it doesn't matter. If there are many people who want to kill me, the Wu family will want to tear me into pieces. But I do have to leave Chang'an recently, and I will visit her before I leave."

Suzaku glanced at him faintly, "Where are you going again?"

"I'm going to Anxi!"

"You want to join the army?"

Li Ye shook his head, "When you travel, you may go far away and it will take a long time, one to two years."

Zhuque's eyes were a little sad, and he nodded slightly: "Actually, I want to go out too. I didn't come to see you after you came back because I was also outside. Master said that she didn't have much time left and wanted to go to the place where she was when she was young. After she left, my two senior sisters and I accompanied her to her hometown in Hedong, and then to Bashu. Next month, I will accompany her to Qilu and Jiangnan, which will probably take a year and a half."

Li Ye scratched his head and smiled: "If you go to Jiangnan, can you help me bring a letter from home to my mother? She is in Runzhou."

"I know that your father is the governor of Runzhou, and I will carry the message for you, but you have to tell me the truth. Are you really traveling to Anxi, or are you participating in the war?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "A war may break out west of Congling in the near future. I want to participate in this war to defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

"Let me tell you!"

Li Ye took a chopstick and put it on the table, "This is Congling!"

He took two more wine glasses and placed them on both sides of his chopsticks, and said to Suzaku: "To the west of Congling is Suiye, and to the east is Shule. They are both military towns in Anxi. In the seventh year of Kaiyuan, Tuqishi raided Suiye and captured Suiye. City, the imperial court had to agree to give the broken leaves to the Tuqishi Khanate as the Yating.

But in the early years of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi defeated the Usumish Khan, and the Turks were destroyed. In the fourth year of Tianbao, Meng Lingcha, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, killed Mohe Dagan, destroyed the Tuqishi Khanate, and regained the broken leaves. , Rehai and Ili River Valley.

However, after the demise of the Tuqishi Khanate, there was no strong local force in the entire west of Congling, and it became a hollow area. The Western food forces began to expand eastward. It is estimated that there will be a battle with the Anxi Army in the west of Congling this year and next. war. "

Suzaku had never heard of such a thing, and she asked in surprise: "Did your grandfather say this?"

Li Ye shook his head, "This is what I sorted out after chatting with some Sogdians and Persians and getting various bits and pieces of information from them. I met Gao Xianzhi yesterday morning and he also recognized my idea."

Suzaku suddenly held Li Ye's hand, looked at him and said, "I don't care who fights with whom, you must come back alive!"

Li Ye felt her white and smooth hands, and felt warm in his heart. He nodded and said, "I promise you!"

Zhuque took a deep look at Li Ye and slowly took off his mask.

Li Ye saw a face of exquisite beauty and a pair of big eyes as bright as gems. For a moment, Li Ye held her hand and was a little stunned.

Suzaku felt a little embarrassed when he saw him, so he smiled sweetly and said, "Before you leave, give me the club!"

"Okay! I'll give it to you after I finish the game for Gao Weng, but how can I find you?"

Zhuque handed his mask to Li Ye and whispered: "I have been living at home during this period. There is a century-old tree behind Dugu Mansion. One of the branches has no leaves and looks weird. How can you put this mask on?" Hanging on that branch, I can see it.”

"Can you see it at night?"

Suzaku didn't know where her thoughts went, and she nodded a little shyly.

Li Ye smiled and said: "I usually take action during the first watch in the evening. Then I will wait for you behind the big tree, and then give you the letter and the club."
