    The curtains were lit with unknown spices, and a faint fragrance came to my nostrils, definitely not inferior to the plum blossoms in the garden.  Li Tengkong, who was dressed as a girl, looked at Ye Chang and smiled sweetly, like an orchid exuding fragrance. Although it was not gorgeous, it was refreshing.  "It'syou." Ye Chang naturally recognized her.  The two of them have met five or six times. Even when Wei Liang came to Xiangxuehai to cause trouble a few years ago, Ye Chang also saw Li Tengkong coming to drink tea.  It was a mess outside, but she remained calm and composed.  "Nu Xiaozi Tengkong." Li Tengkong stood up and saluted Ye Chang.  "TengkongLi Tengkong, ah, you are the girl of Mr. Li's family" Ye Chang almost jumped up.  Ye Chang made many guesses about the identity of this girl, and even guessed that she might be a noble lord in the palace, but he never expected that she was Li Tengkong, Li Linfu's daughter.  Because he knew Tang poetry by heart, Ye Chang knew that Li Bai had written two poems for Li Tengkong and Cai Xunzhen, but that was probably a later event.  At that time, he was still feeling very emotional that Li Linfu had the power to devote himself to the world, but he raised a daughter but devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and accumulating virtue.  "Have you ever heard of a slave, sir?" Li Tengkong's pink cheeks were slightly red, but after all, she was everyone's daughter, and she was open-minded by nature, and she was not as afraid to speak as a child.  "I've heard of itit turns out it's you." At this point, why did Ye Chang still not understand something about the letter he sent to Huangfu Weiming? Although Li Linfu plotted against him, he did not harm him after all. The original reason is here. "You must first tell Lang  Jun apologized, and after parting ways in Luoyang, he was grateful to Lang Jun for saving him. He also learned that Lang Jun was going to serve in the army, so he wrote a letter to Huangfu Weiming privately in his father's name, never expecting that Huangfu Weiming had evil intentions.  , Fortunately, Lang Junji and Tianxiang came back safely, otherwise, Huangfu Weiming would have died hundreds of times, and he would not be able to atone for his sin." When talking about this matter, Li Tengkong was still angry.  Ye Chang was speechless. Li Tengkong had good intentions. He couldn't blame the other party, but his good intentions did cause him a lot of trouble. It seemed a bit too cheap to admit it without saying a word.  At this time, Ye Chang just thought that Li Tengkong was helping him out of gratitude. Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he clasped his fists and said, "What Mrs. Li did really caused some trouble for me, but now that it's over, so-and-so  He's safe and sound, so let this matter go." Thinking of Huangfu Weiming, Ye Chang asked again: "I haven't been out in the past few days, and I don't know what's going on with Huangfu Weiming." Li Tengkong's face was filled with anger again.  Blushing, she naturally knew why Ye Chang didn't go out. It was because the people sent by her father kept a close eye on him, and there was no chance to go out.  "This incident is over, Huangfu Weiming is dead." Li Tengkong said.  The storm that Ye Chang inadvertently caused finally subsided, and after some fighting and bargaining, the matter came to a conclusion.  Wei Jian was a relative of the prince, but he secretly formed a secret alliance with a general and plotted against him. He was exiled to Lingnan and had his family property confiscated.  Huangfu Weiming was a border general, and he was good at befriending the prince's relatives. He was greedy for merit, framed his colleagues, confiscated family property, and was sentenced to death in prison.  Wang Zhongsi was imprisoned for his crimes because his crimes were not obvious, he was only careless in self-cultivation, and associated with bandits. However, he was later rescued and was demoted to the governor of Bochuan.  An Sishun, the military governor of Hexi Province, replaced Huangfu Weiming as the military governor of Longyou, and Wang Nan, a subordinate of Huangfu Weiming, became the military governor of Shuofang.  Wei Liang also died in prison, and dozens of officials were implicated. Even Prince Li Heng petitioned his wife to divorce Wei Jian's sister, Concubine Wei.  "It is naturally Ji Wen's credit that such a big prison can be ended so quickly.  But in addition to Ji Wen's murderous name spreading because of the case, Ye Chang and Ye Shiyi's reputation also resounded throughout Chang'an because of the case.  In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, it was the fight for the "Fragrant Snow Sea" that triggered this shocking case.  Especially the death of Huangfu Weiming, who was accused of being a corrupt official and taking advantage of his honor, is also related to Ye Chang.  Therefore, in the capital, there is a saying that "one little ant can kill two elephants".  Li Tengkong told the fate of Huangfu Weiming and others, but of course she didn't say anything about the little ants.  Even so, Ye Chang was still dumbfounded, not expecting such a result.  Originally, he thought that Huangfu Weiming would be demoted to a remote village as a prefect, which would be the worst outcome for him, but he never thought that Huangfu Weiming would directly lose his life.  Although Wei Jian survived, given Li Linfu's tactics against Huangfu Weiming, it was probably impossible for him to come back from Lingnan alive.  Wang Zhongsi¡¯s end will not be much better.  The bloody storm under the bustling Chang'an made Ye Chang realize once again that in such a whirlpool, one wrong step would lead to catastrophe.  In such a whirlpool, he didn't even have the power to protect himself, let alone participate.  "I invited Ye Langjun here today because I have something to inquire about." Ye Chang was thinking about something in his mind, so he naturally looked at Li Tengkong blankly. Li Tengkong was quite generous. Although he was blushing, he did not avoid it and said softly. ?"Ahoh, madam, please tell me." "Are there really immortals in this world? Ye Langjun, have youhave you ever met a true immortal?" Ye Chang was stunned again. He did not expect that Li Tengkong would ask  Such a problem arises.  Looking at the girl in front of her, her eyes were a little confused, as if she had lost her goal in life, and she seemed to have reached a fork in the road and didn't know how to choose the direction.  In another life, Li Tengkong and Cai Xunzhen left the prosperous Chang'an and traveled south of the Yangtze River to visit Xianzhen in Mount Lu, where they lived in seclusion ever since.  How could a prime minister's daughter or a minister's daughter have reached that point if she hadn't been so entangled in her heart?  "Ms. Li, the word for fairy, is also a mountain of people. She becomes a human first and then a fairy." Ye Chang responded vaguely.  Li Tengkong¡¯s eyes were focused, and he just stared at Ye Chang without speaking.  Ye Chang was a little stunned, and then said: "Okay, Mrs. Li, as the daughter of the prime minister, your wealth is second only to the noble lord. Tell me, why do you want to ask for immortality?" Li Tengkong was slightly hesitant when he heard this question.  Why does she want to seek immortality?  Ever since I was a child, I have known about my father's evil reputation and his hard work, but he has offended countless people and committed countless evils intentionally or unintentionally. I want to eliminate disasters and evils for my father.  Is it because I have seen the pain of life, old age, illness, death, parting and breaking up with friends, and I want to transcend these human pains, so I want to find the way to eternal life?  "Ms. Li, although what I just said was casual, I also meant it sincerely. If you don't know how to be a human being, seeking immortality is just asking for fish." Ye Chang's words made Li Tengkong smile: "I almost got bypassed by you, Ye Lang.  Jun, you only respond to me, if there are immortals, how can I see them? " "I don't know if there are immortals. I only know that people can be called immortals if they do their best. That's why Li Taibai is called an immortal."  , he has reached the ultimate in the way of poetry. If everyone does his best, then everyone will be an immortal. " "That means that refining Qi and cultivating elixirs is a fake?"  I don¡¯t know.¡± Ye Chang was shocked when he saw that Li Tengkong looked like he had lost his pursuit of life. Although he wanted to remind this girl that she had no basis for her immortality, he would be disappointed if she did something stupid.  Li Linfu, who feels sorry for his daughter, still doesn't know what he will do.  Thinking of the possible consequences after irritating Li Linfu, Ye Chang immediately changed his mind.  "You lied, you obviously knew it." Li Tengkong looked at him and said softly.  "This why do you think I know?" "I also know that you asked people to build ships by the Yellow River in order to search for the fairy mountains on the sea and find the real Penglai Fairy Island." Ye Chang was speechless. Looking for the fairy mountains on the sea was what he did.  The excuse he used to build a sea-going ship has now become evidence of his lies.  He did lie, but Xunxian was the real lie.  But there is not much difference between lies and truth.  "Well, I just gave it a try" "But the ship you built is not a test. I have heard that the ship you built is a sea ship. Its style is completely different from other ships, and it is extremely strong.  " "This" "My father said that the ship has been built, but you kept it a secret. I don't know why." "Ah" Ye Chang is really speechless. You said that Li Linfu, the prime minister of a country, is busy with everything and does not care about national affairs.  Why do you insist on joining the army in this small name?  The shipbuilding workshop in Wuzhi was built in the first year of Tianbao. Ye Chang spent about one-third of his time in Xiuwu in Wuzhi, which shows that Ye Chang attached great importance to it.  From the initial repairs of passing ships to building its own ships, especially after reaching an agreement with Princess Yuzhen in the second year of Tianbao and using her to obtain a group of official shipbuilding craftsmen, the shipbuilding workshop developed very rapidly, and of course it swallowed up money.  His ability is also very fast. It has only taken three years until now, and it has cost Ye Chang one hundred thousand yuan.  After spending a large amount of copper money and Ye Chang's suggestions, even a carpenter like Ye Tong who lacked talent could always produce some results.  Just a year ago, they received good news that two prototype ships for testing had been built.  Rather than saying it is a prototype ship, it is better to say that it is a large model built for future large-scale ships.  It was forty-five feet long, ten feet wide, four feet empty draft, and ten feet above the water.  It used stern rudders, watertight cabins and trimmed sails that had already appeared in the shipbuilding techniques of the Tang Dynasty, as well as techniques that had not yet appeared at this time, such as gengshuimu (anti-rolling keel).  This ship was built using the keel shipbuilding method, and was connected with iron nails and iron curiums. Therefore, it was not only fast to build the ship, but also had a solid structure that was far superior to other ships.  "Why doesn't Mr. Lang say anything?" "Well, I never thought that Mrs. Li would even know this Indeed, two ships were built, but it is still unclear whether they are of any use."??In a few days, we will take these two boats, go down the river, and sail directly to the sea with cloud sails.  " "Go to Xianshan Mountain now?  "Li Tengkong said in surprise. She suddenly felt that her heart was suddenly tugged, as if it was grabbed by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to pass through. It is said that there are fairy mountains overseas, but throughout the ages, who has really seen the fairy mountains?  On the contrary, Cao Mengde said that the sea was "swelling", and countless people's lives were lost in this boundless ocean. Ye Chang smiled and said: "Of course not, you will have to test the sea first, and then you will have to grind after the test.  Practice as a sailor, become familiar with the wind direction, and then gradually explore to find the fairy mountains in the sea.  " Hearing what he said, Li Tengkong felt a little relieved, and at the same time he was fascinated. "I really hope to be like Ye Langjun, wading across the sea and searching for fairyland.  She looked at Ye Chang and sighed slightly: "I wish I wasn't a man."  " Ye Chang didn't dare to accept this. If he said "Okay, let's go together" and really kidnapped her, Li Linfu would be in trouble if he got angry. He smiled without saying a word, and Li Tengkong felt a little lost and slowly hung down.  He turned his head away, stood up and saluted Ye Chang again: "When it comes to this matter, it's not a good thing to be a slave.  "    "Um?  "I'm afraid my father may have misunderstood and thought he was a slave" Li Tengkong's face turned crimson, he glanced at Ye Chang and said vaguely: "That's why I'm leaving Lang Jun in Chang'an City. I told my father today that Lang Jun wants to leave Chang'an."  , just leave.  " Ye Chang almost jumped up again. Although Li Tengkong's words were vague, Ye Chang didn't understand what he meant. Li Linfu wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law. If it were Lu Qi or Yuan Zai, he would definitely be happy and extremely positive, but Ye Chang  Chang was not the case. Li Linfu's aura was too strong, even more than the pressure Li Longji put on Ye Chang. In this situation, it was too late for him to hide far away, let alone run to become his son-in-law. And as soon as Li Linfu died,  His family was doomed, and his political opponents unceremoniously retaliated against the Li family. Ye Chang didn't want to be the target of such revenge, "Thank you, Madam Li, for speaking out.  "Ye Chang felt a huge wave in his heart, but his face remained calm. He also stood up and saluted. They looked like respectful guests. Li Tengkong looked at Ye Chang and bit his lip gently: "Lang Jun does have some father-like demeanor.  .  " "Ah, thank you for the compliment.  "Ye Chang pretended to be confused. "Others say that my father has honey in his mouth and a belly" At this point, Li Tengkong shut up. As a daughter, of course she cannot say what others said to ridicule her father. Such comments  , actually reached the ears of Li Tengkong. Perhaps she is devoted to Taoism, and this is also the reason. Who knows if the person who is willing to marry her now comes for her father's power, but if her family's power dissipates,  How would that person treat her? "No matter what others say, in my opinion, the Tang Dynasty has been peaceful both internally and externally for more than ten years, and the state has been able to support it even though it has been stretched thin. This is mostly due to Li.  Thanks to my husband.  " When Ye Chang said this, he added: "When I met Mr. Li that day, he said the same thing in person.  Li Tengkong was silent, saluted Ye Chang again, and then whispered: "Farewell." She left without delay or haste. Ye Chang still had a smile on his face, but at that moment, his eyes were filled with confusion.  Clouds rise.  Is it that simple for Li Linfu to keep him in Chang'an City just because his daughter has a good impression of him? How could Li Linfu's plan change because of Li Tengkong's plea? Now that he is letting Ye Chang go, he is probably still saying: take the long term.  Catch big fish.  Ye Chang doesn¡¯t want to be someone else¡¯s fish, he wants to be a fisherman.
