"I'm sorry, Brother Dafu, I didn't expect it to be like this." After leaving the door of Han Chaozong's house, Ye Chang and Gao Shi did not rush to mount their horses, but held the reins and walked slowly along the street. It was originally recommended by Han Chaozong to recommend Gao Shi, but because he did not inquire about the information carefully, Gao Shi was involved in a political storm. If it is not done well, Gao Shi's career will most likely be affected by this. The streets of Chang'an City have been completely improved after more than two years of renovation by Han Chaozong. The main street like this has been paved with cement, and the big trees on both sides of the street cast shade under their feet. Because it is close to the New Year, the New Year atmosphere on the streets is very lively, and many impatient families have posted couplets - this New Year custom advocated by Ye Chang has swept the entire Central Plains in just two years. This was the Tang Dynasty, and it was the prosperous Tang Dynasty, an era when all kinds of popular elements and culture could gain recognition and popularity in a very short period of time. "This is the best of times, but it is also a bad time. There are turbulent undercurrents in the court. People who are not involved in it cannot understand how many risks there are. Gao Shi experienced this kind of risk at close range today. "Although I still have some reservations about what Mr. Han said, there is one thing. In the past few years that he has been working for Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an City has improved a lot in all aspects. Although he made mistakes, he should not die, let alone a young man like Huo Xianqi. People profit from it." Gao Shi didn't comment on his implication: "It's just that you, Shiyi Lang, just said it very well. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Huo Xianqi and Ji Wen to actually handle it. Those who come out of the Nianli field are not as easy to deal with as Yuan Zai and Wang Mohe. "The most difficult to deal with is Li Linfu behind them. "This matter is not urgent. Han Gong's path is unavailable. We have to look for others. Someone has to report your name to the saint This is a bit difficult. Who has this ability and is reliable? " Ye Chang also had a headache at this time. Only then did he realize that there were too few people in the court who could support him. The limited support of Princess Yuzhen gave him a certain ability to protect himself and fight back, but if he really wanted to make his voice heard in the court, he was still unable to do so. Ye Chang has no intention of going to Li Shizhi's side. If he is at odds with Li Shizhi's son, he will naturally not bring trouble on himself. Princess Yuzhen will not directly intervene in the government affairs, so there are no big figures who can be recommended now. "You don't have to be too embarrassed. Our merits are there. They are all in the memorials of Huangfu Weiming and Bian Lingcheng. Even if no one recommends me, I will have to be given an official position this time." Gao Shi saw him like this. , said with a smile. Ye Chang was a little ashamed. If he hadn't come to Han Chaozong today, it would have been easier to find other officials for help. But when it comes to Han Chaozong, it's not easy for others. "The trouble happened here, Mr. Han, but the people there are warm and cold. No wonder he looks like this He never mentioned Li Shang and others just now." Ye Chang mentioned this detail again. "Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid Li Shizhi didn't lend any helping hand." Gao Shi curled his lips: "Why is Mr. Han so excited and happy when we come to see him?" Ye Chang smiled bitterly, how could he not be happy? Well, during the few days when Han Chaozong was at home awaiting his punishment, everyone from all walks of life tried to avoid him for fear of being implicated by him. Even Li Shi's 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 realized that Li Linfu was behind this incident, but doing so after all, made Han Chaozong feel chilled. Under such circumstances, Ye Chang and Gao Shi came to visit him, which was a timely move. "In your opinion, how should we lend a helping hand?" Gao Shi asked again. "I just have an idea. How to do it specifically depends on what other people are doing" Ye Chang just heard from Han Chaozong. He was already discouraged about his official career and just wanted peace. Ye Chang felt that he was still sure of his safety. After all, in his memory, Han Chaozong should have died a good death instead of being executed. Thinking of this, Ye Chang said to Gao Shi: "This matter cannot be postponed. It will be too late if we wait until the palace's decree comes down. Gao Gong, you go back for a while and I'll go see Wannian Wei Jiwen." " Ji Wen, Liang Bo, you usually rely on Duke Han for protection and he treats you with courtesy. Now that Duke Han is treating you like a sin, if you go to see him again, you are afraid that he will take the opportunity to cause trouble and humiliate you." Gao Shi advised. He said: "And he can't say anything on this matter" "He can't say, but Li Linfu can." Ye Chang made up his mind: "Ji Wen is suspicious. If I take the initiative to find him, he will not If he dares to act arbitrarily, he is someone who has seen my methods." Seeing how confident he was, Gao Shi stopped trying to persuade him, and just told him to be more careful, and asked Nan Jiyun who was following him to pay attention and report back if anything went wrong. Nan Jiyun smiled. If anything went wrong, Yu Jian would just protect Ye Chang and escape. I believe that with the methods of him and Shan Zhi, there would be no problem in breaking out among dozens of officers. Wannian County stables are in the city??, when Ye Chang arrived, it was already noon. He asked the officer to go in and report, and the officer took him a small bunch of copper coins. He ran very diligently, but it took him a long time to come out, and his original friendly expression became extremely cold. "Where did this idiot come from? The Young Master said that even if you want to write a paper, you should go to the sect of a powerful person like Jing Zhao. What are you doing here?" The officer threw Ye Chang's name sticker back, and Nan Ji Yun was furious and was about to explode, but was stopped by Ye Chang. "If it's because of my own affairs, I'll have an attack, but for Han Gong, I'll tolerate it for the time being." Ye Chang said. Nan Jiyun was no longer surprised by Ye Chang's ever-changing temper. Seeing Ye Chang pick up the thorn, he took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Jixian Lieutenant, you will never die without death." The earth is gone." Its support and support went up, straight into the clear sky. Nan Jiyun only felt that his face was like a jujube: Ye Shiyi, this is how you endured for Han Gong. But strangely enough, Ye Chang shouted three times before leaving. How dare the officer let him go again? Stopped, at this moment, a person hurriedly ran out from inside: "The county captain invites Ye Langjun to come in to meet you." Ye Chang pushed the guard aside and entered proudly. Nan Jiyun and the monk looked at each other, and the monk spread his arms. He opened his hand 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 just cheap and have to be scolded before we meet" Ji Wen is certainly not a scold, and he only wants to be scolded by Ye Chang. meet. Ye Chang's scolding is an attitude, indicating that if Ji Wen disappears, he will face Ye Chang's trump card next. Ye Chang still dared to scold at this time, which proved that he had some trust. Ji Wen had a sinister and suspicious temperament, so he naturally wanted to test him out. "How brave you are to scold me in front of my office." Ji Wen said coldly when he saw Ye Chang. "That's natural. I heard that Mr. Ji passed away soon, and I came here to express my condolences, but he was not allowed to come in. It's so rude. Isn't it possible that Mr. Ji is not afraid that he will not have peace after his death?" Ji Wen's eyes flashed with gloomy anger: " You do not know life and death, Ye Chang, do you really think that with Princess Yuzhen here, you can really be lawless? " "No, Princess Yuzhen is enough to protect me, but it is not enough to touch a Wannian Lieutenant But Someone can touch you." "Who?" Ye Chang looked at Ji Wen with a smile. Ji Wen took a breath, suppressed his anger and said, "What do you know?" "Ji Gong is still on duty at this late hour. He is truly an example of an official in our court." Ye Chang stood up at this time and said, "This is an official office. I have some private matters to see Mr. Ji. I'd better wait until Mr. Ji has finished his official duties" After he finished speaking, he said. Seriously turn around and leave, never lingering again. However, he was secretly calculating in his own mind that if Ji Wen still didn't let him stay after ten steps, then it goes without saying that Ji Wen's path would be blocked and he would have to find another way. One step, two steps, three steps, no sound behind you. Four steps, five steps, six steps, there was a voice behind him, but it was a disdainful sneer. The frequency of Ye Chang's steps did not change, and he took the seventh and eighth steps immediately. Ji Wen watched his actions from behind. Although the laughter was still there, the expression on his face froze. Step nine. "Wait a minute" Seeing that Ye Chang was about to walk out of the door, Ji Wen finally couldn't help shouting. Ye Chang turned around and clasped his fists with a smile: "This is not the place to talk. If Duke Ji really wants to teach me, I will wait for him at Xiangxuehai." "Officials ordered by the imperial court are not allowed to enter or exit the market at will" Ji Before Wen finished speaking, Ye Chang had already disappeared from his sight. Ji Wen looked out the door with a gloomy face, and then glared at a corner of the wall. "Have you heard enough? Get out of here if you've heard enough." The officer hiding outside the corner of the wall jumped up in shock and hit his head on the wooden board, making a thumping sound. Ji Wen was wondering what Ye Chang was going to say, and was too lazy to argue with them, so he just snorted again. The guards immediately ran away crawling on the ground. Ji Wen cursed secretly again, "This yamen is like a sieve, with walls leaking everywhere." Ye Chang didn't want to explain it to him here, maybe there was a reason for it. The so-called Xiangxuehai is a teahouse recently opened in Chang'an City. The teahouse is located in the West Market. There are half an acre of plum blossoms in the yard behind the building. When winter comes, the fragrance of flowers and tea will be in one place, which is a rare and elegant place. It is said that after Li Longji heard about it, he also yearned for it, and people in his Xingqing Palace did the same. Very few people know that behind this fragrant snow sea, there is still Ye Chang. Giving up the football market and withdrawing from the city of Chang'an does not mean that Ye Chang has no arrangements in Chang'an. This Xiangxuehai is one of his arrangements, which can promote a new way of drinking tea - Ye Chang firmly believes in the hobby of tea. If he tastes it, he will definitely become famous all over the world, and his new tea ceremony will also spread all over the world; secondly, Ye Chang will also have a place to stay, and he can also find out some necessary information. It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t pay too much attention to this casual move, so after returning to Chang¡¯an this time, he didn¡¯t come to Xiangxuehai. It wasn't until he realized that something was wrong with Han Chaozong that he remembered his idle move. If he had contacted here first after returning to Chang'an, how could such an error have happened. When I arrived at the gate of Dexiangxuehai, I saw a handsome boy sweeping the snow on the ground hard. It was snowing at this time, but it was not heavy, just a few flakes accumulated, and the boy swept them aside immediately. Seeing his diligent appearance, Ye Chang smiled and said: "The snow keeps snowing, how can we sweep it clean?" The boy was only eleven or twelve years old. Hearing this, he raised his face and said seriously: "Although it is So, if you don't sweep it, how can you be clean? Ye Chang was stunned, and Shanzhi next to him said "Amitabha": "Okay, good boy, you have wisdom." But the boy glared at him: "I don't like it." "Monk" Now Ye Chang laughed: "Why don't you like the monk? He praises you." " The boy remained silent and only focused on sweeping the snow. At this time, the shopkeeper in the teahouse heard the sound and came out. Seeing it was Ye Chang, he said happily: "It turned out to be Lang Jun. Ye Langjun, are you back from Longyou? " "I'm back - it's been a few days. I have invited people over. Is there anyone in my quiet room? " "This does not. "The shopkeeper's surname is Si, who was a steward of the ball market. He studied for a while, and because of his somewhat roundabout relationship with Jia Maoer, he became a figure in Ye Chang's interest group. He is a good person It's more than enough to host this teahouse elegantly. His tone changed slightly, but Ye Chang didn't take it seriously: "If that's the case, then I'll go over. If someone comes to ask me, you can just bring him over." Ye Chang said as he said, This Xiangxuehai Tea House was designed by himself. There is a turret at the east and west ends of the building. The so-called quiet room is the easternmost corner. Here you can see the banks of the canal outside the West Market and the plum blossoms in the backyard. It is the most elegant place. After entering the elegant room, a beautiful girl came in to make tea. The so-called tea house naturally has other things besides tea, not to mention refreshments and the like. There are also some books published by Yejia Printing House, most of which are poems and the like, as well as anecdotes. Confucian scholars pay attention to elegance. They spend time here, exchange reading experiences, talk about poetry and lyrics, and half a day passes in the blink of an eye. The business of a private dining room like this is quite good, and there are already people in Chang'an City imitating this business. It¡¯s just that there is no good tea from Xiangxuehai, which is a bit lacking after all. Not long after Ye Chang sat down, he heard an angry female voice: "I clearly booked the Xiang Pavilion, why were I brought to this Fang Pavilion?" Ye Chang was stunned, Xiang Pavilion was what he wanted. Quiet room, remembering the look on the shopkeeper's face just now, he understood that the shopkeeper had temporarily vacated this room for him. "It's not a matter of money. How can my wife not be able to pay these small sums of money to the shopkeeper? You" Then the shopkeeper apologized in a low voice. Ye Chang frowned slightly. This was because the shopkeeper did not do it honestly and flattered him indiscriminately. Caused trouble. He stood up and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, since someone has booked the Xiang Pavilion, we should put the guests first. In this way, if you invite the guests to the Xiang Pavilion, today's consumption will be free of charge." The shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed. , I don¡¯t want my flattery to be photographed on the horse¡¯s hooves. The angry woman over there looked at her proudly: "I guess you are sensible" Ye Chang didn't like this look. He was taking advantage of it and acted like a good boy. He really deserved a beating. But before Ye Chang could get angry, he heard someone beside the woman whispering and stopped the woman. "What's wrong?" the angry woman asked in surprise. "We know her" The person who stopped her stepped forward and bowed to Ye Chang Yingying: "I have met Ye Langjun." Ye Chang saw that this woman looked familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, he just couldn't remember it.
