    Outside Chang'an City, at the Guangyuntan Pier, a sailboat slowly docked.  This sailing ship is a newly built speedboat from Wuzhi Shipyard. It is only five feet long and can be used as both a sail and an oar. Because of its short hull, it can travel freely in the Yellow River and even the Wei River. It is also light and can pass through some places that are not suitable for navigation.  When there are dangerous shoals, you can use human power to pull the fiber across.  After those two ships, Ye Chang began to concentrate on building such small boats to facilitate travel on the Yellow River.  As for the larger sea-going ships, he was going to build them in Lushun.  "The situation is not good." Looking at the people at the dock, Ye Chang smiled bitterly and said to the guest in yellow shirt.  When he came back this time, he did not dare to take Nan Jiyun with him. He had to stay in the capital to defend Lushun, so he met up with the yellow-shirted guest who stayed there in Luoyang.  Huang Shike was responsible for hiring people in Luoyang who were willing to go to sea, and at the same time, he also inquired about news about Chang'an. Therefore, Ye Chang now also understood why Li Longji summoned him back to Chang'an without incident.  It was his poem that caused the disaster. Because of the three poems written to marry the princess, the court also stopped mentioning the two princesses' marriage to Khitan and Xi due to public opinion, but this matter made Li Longji very upset.  Angry, he was summoned back to Chang'an this time, most likely because of this matter.  When Ye Chang heard the news, he felt a little angry. He was really shot while lying down. Li Longji did not take his granddaughter seriously and wanted to send it to those barbarians who smelled of fishy smell. In the end, he rebelled.  When he was about to kill Ji Qi, why did he have to suffer this scolding himself?  "If it weren't for the fact that he still had to obtain manpower and materials from Dengzhou and the Central Plains, he really wanted to turn around and leave, go back to Lushun and live freely without looking at Li Longji's face.  "Don't worry too much. No matter how angry the emperor is, he won't really do anything to you. But I heard that he is very concerned about your going to the East China Sea to seek immortality. After all the emperor is old."  Ye Chang nodded, put aside the depression in his heart, and stepped onto the dock.  " Like Guangyuntan, a place where boats and cars are transferred, a horse-drawn carriage has set up a station here. After Ye Chang and Huang Shan Ke got on the car, a group of more than 20 people set off for Chang'an City.  When they were halfway there, they heard a commotion behind them, and then a guard of honor came swaggering over. According to the etiquette, they had to wait for the other party to pass by. Ye Chang stretched his head in the carriage and looked around, and couldn't help being slightly startled.  He just stretched his head and then retracted, because he happened to know Liu Luogu, one of the guides in the honor guard.  This guy leads the way, and the guard of honor belongs to Anlu Mountain, which is now the festival between the two towns.  He retracted because he didn't want Liu Luogu to see him, but he never thought that Liu Luogu, with his sharp eyes, would see him at a glance. He rode his horse to An Lushan and whispered a few words in front of him. An Lushan nodded slightly.  Liu Luogu urged his horse over and said loudly: "But Ye Junjun from Jili Prefecture is here? Dr. An asked you to come forward and pay homage." Ye Chang cursed secretly. This guy was indeed sharp-eyed, but he could only reluctantly get off the carriage.  , walk to Anlu Mountain.  This is the second time the two have met. The last time they met in martial arts, if Chong Niang hadn't been there, An Lushan would definitely have sent people to attack and kill Ye Chang.  However, Liu Luogu's gift temporarily resolved the grievances between the two parties, so on the surface, An Lushan was not as aggressive as last time.  On the contrary, he still smiled.  "Ye Canjun went to Liaodong to take up a post, why don't you come to meet me at my place?" An Lushan said warmly.  "Although I have the position of joining the army in Jili Prefecture, it is actually set up by the saint to facilitate a certain thing, and it is not a formal position. Naturally, I dare not go to see the doctor." Ye Chang also smiled: "The doctor is very powerful. After a certain person arrived in Liaodong, he became even more powerful.  An Lushan laughed loudly and nodded affectionately to Ye Chang: "Ye Canjun, if you need help from An, just ask. By the way, there are many barbarians over there, so I'm afraid it's a little unstable. I'll give it to you."  How about sending five hundred elite soldiers to protect you, and you can help Xiangping to capture the troops and horses under your command? "This is to deploy people and horses to Ye Chang's men. If they are really sent to him, the situation of host and guest will be changed, and one of them will be An Lu.  The eyes and ears of the mountain passed the news about Lushun to Anlu Mountain.  Ye Chang smiled and said: "The doctor is willing to lend a helping hand. Ye is grateful. After returning, he will set up a camp and wait for the strong soldiers sent by the doctor." He did not refuse, and An Lushan nodded with satisfaction.  , I felt a little worthless in my heart.  "You are not in Liaodong at this time, why did you come back to Chang'an?" An Lushan asked again.  This was a question he knew clearly, but Ye Chang didn't know it, so he answered calmly: "Your Majesty sent an envoy to call me back to the capital. I don't know what happened." "It's a good thing, a good thing, haha" An Lushan laughed and said  Go, Ye Chang looked at his back, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.  "This Hu'er is treacherous.  Now in Chang'an, Ye Chang no longer has Xiangxuehai to settle down, but he bought a house next to Sun Simiao's house in Guangde Square, Chang'an. Although it is not big, it can still accommodate 30 to 50 people.  .  After arriving here, Ye Chang first went to Yuzhen Temple and told Li Longji through Princess Yuzhen that he had returned.?Chang'an.  The next step was to return to his residence and wait for news. After waiting for two days, Li Longji had not sent anyone to summon him to meet him, but Li Linfu sent someone.  "Xianggong Li said he would meet me at his residence this afternoon?" Ye Chang was a little surprised: "You want me to go earlier?" The person who came to invite Ye Chang was Li Fei, an old servant of the Li family. He had also dealt with Ye Chang more than once.  Therefore, his attitude was very humble: "Yes, this is what my husband ordered." Ye Chang twirled a few short beards that he had grown, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I will go there after lunch." Li Linfu's family  The lunch was very extravagant. Although Li Linfu didn't have any chicken tongue feast, it was still full of delicacies, and one meal cost dozens of dollars.  Li Tengkong had her own small kitchen. She ate very lightly. After lunch, she began to think about what to do this afternoon.  At this moment, Li Fei's voice was heard: "Seventh Lady, Seventh Lady" "What's the matter with Uncle Fei?" "We have a visitor today, and my husband invites Seventh Lady to accompany him." Li Tengkong didn't take it seriously at first.  , the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and it was common for guests to come to the house with their wives and young dependents. Whenever such a situation occurred, the host would arrange for the same female dependents to receive them.  "Which family is it from?" she asked softly.  Li Fei did not hesitate: "This husband did not give orders to me." It was not that he didn't give orders, but it was not that he didn't know. Li Tengkong heard the meaning, but he didn't think about it deeply.  There is always a reason for her father to conceal it, but it is not beautiful if he has to explore it.  "In that case, let's invite her to meet in the back garden." Li Tengkong said.  She led the maid to the back garden. The Li family's mansion was very large, and the back garden was full of rockery, pavilions and trees, making it a good place for the female family members to play.  Li Tengkong didn't wait long before he heard the sound of footsteps. However, the sound of footsteps was different from the lightness of a woman's. It was steady and powerful, rather like the voice of a young and strong man.  Li Tengkong was surprised and saw Ye Chang walking in slowly.  Having not seen him for more than half a year, Ye Chang has become a little darker and has a slight beard, which makes his face look more mature.  When he appeared here, Li Tengkong was shocked and a little surprised, and immediately felt shy.  Her life-long events have always been a problem in the family. Li Linfu had many children. Legend has it that he had fifty sons and fifty daughters, but the ones who were truly famous were seven daughters and seven sons. Li Tengkong was the youngest among them, and he was also the most favored by Li Linfu.  Li Linfu has always been worried that Li Tengkong will really escape into Taoism and never marry. Now it seems that he can't wait to sell his daughter to the young handsome man he likes.  ¡°Could it be that I am so bad that I am worried about getting marriedI am not the emperor¡¯s daughter.¡± When he discovered Li Tengkong, Ye Chang was also surprised and stopped.  Breaking into the back garden without permission and disturbing other women's family members is an indecent mistake.  He looked back and found that Li Fei, who had led him here, had left quietly. At this time, Ye Chang's first thought was "entering the White Tiger Hall by mistake".  He immediately understood that even if Li Linfu wanted to frame him, there was no need to lose his daughter's reputation. "Ye Chang has met Mrs. Li." He cupped his hands and bowed: "It's been a long time." "Do you really think it's been a long time?" Li Teng was blank.  He glanced at him and said.  "Well Speaking of which, I also brought a gift to Mrs. Li today." Li Tengkong's little temper did not make Ye Chang angry. Instead, he felt that this girl who had always been cold-faced and warm-hearted became lively, so he smiled and said: "It's just  I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Li here, so I gave it to your housekeeper. "What gift?" Li Tengkong was a little curious.  "If you don't tell me, there will be no surprise if you tell me." "Don't think that I, like the twenty-nine noble lords, will be happy just after accepting the clothes you gave me. I am very picky." "Haha, Chong Niang is still young.  Of course it would be nice to have new clothes, but it has not been easy to deal with this year. When I saw her the day before yesterday, she was blamed several times. " Li Tengkong and Chong Niang are also very familiar with each other, and they even know what gifts Ye Chang gave her.  Insect girl.  As Ye Chang said, Chong Niang gradually became dissatisfied with clothes and toys as she grew older. What she is most interested in now is Ye Chang's experience at sea.  Li Tengkong was also interested in the local customs and customs in Liaodong. The two talked about it in the back garden, pretending not to know Li Linfu's intention in making such an arrangement.  An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the two of them had a very interesting conversation. Li Tengkong smiled slightly and lowered his eyebrows, wishing that this time could last as long as possible.  But at this moment, she heard the sound of coughing coming from outside. Li Tengkong suddenly realized that she and Ye Chang seemed to be too close, so she took a few steps back and sat in the pavilion. Li Fei's voice  Another message came in: "Where is Ye Langjun? Where is Ye Langjun?" "He is here." "My husband asked Ye Langjun to go out to meet the guests." These words were spoken as if Ye Chang himself was not a guest.generally.  Ye Chang secretly murmured in his heart, could Li Linfu really want to bring him and Li Tengkong together?  Based on Ye Chang¡¯s understanding of Li Linfu, Li Linfu thinks every step he takes and definitely has no good intentions.  They just want to bring him and Li Tengkong together, but I'm afraid there are other wishful thinking behind it.  Saying goodbye to Li Tengkong, Li Tengkong rarely showed reluctance, but it was fleeting and he lowered his head to see him out.  Following Li Fei, Ye Chang arrived at Yuetang, where Li Linfu received guests.  "Changran, there are guests coming outside, you go and greet them for me." Li Linfu called Ye Chang by name and ordered him unceremoniously.  Ye Chang had a troubled look on his face: "Ms. Li, the guest is here to visit you. I'm going to greet you" "I can't greet you personally." Li Linfu said with a smile on his face: "I have a good rapport with Changran. I am old.  "My elder, I treat you like a nephew, and I asked you to welcome me. Why, maybe Changran thinks I am not worthy?" Ye Chang couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes, "You old guy is my nephew, and I treat your whole family like my nephew."  Even though Li Linfu was talking about this, he couldn't turn against him face to face, and it was not his style not to take advantage of him, so he smiled and said: "In this case, if Chang has any trouble in the future, he will ask the elder Li Xianggong for help.  .  " "If it weren't for me, with all the troubles you have caused, including the impeachment of Yan Guan, your head would have been cut off dozens of times, and you would not be allowed to go to Liaodong for leisure." Li Linfu shouted: "Hey, get out.  Welcome, this person is good for you." Ye Chang was kicked out by him to greet the guests. When he got to the door, he asked the butler who was accompanying him. The butler smiled and said, "Just wait, Mr. Lang, he will be there soon."  You can meet him.  " Sure enough, after a short while, someone came to the concierge to report: "The imperial censor, Fan Yang and Lulong, the governor of An Lushan, have come to pay homage to the Prime Minister." Ye Chang's heart suddenly became awe-inspiring: The person who came to see Li Linfu turned out to be this person.  He thought about what Li Linfu's purpose was in arranging for him to welcome An Lushan. On the surface, it was indeed beneficial for him to come to greet him. If he could get An Lushan's full support when he was acting in Liaodong, he would have no worries.  Worrying gets twice the result with half the effort. But how can Li Linfu be so kind and consider Li Tengkong just to win over him? If so, it is impossible for Li Linfu to remain in power for more than ten years.  Family ties are definitely not considered, but family ties are definitely secondary. His first consideration is how to stabilize his power position. "In any case, this seems to be an opportunity." Ye Chang does not have the luxury of really getting An Lushan's full support.  But if you can use Li Linfu's momentum to suppress An Lushan for a year or two, and wait until you can truly gain a foothold If you can, that would be great. Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face. "An Lushan is here."  Li Linfu was waiting impatiently in front of the door. He had become famous in Chang'an City in the past two days and was the most popular figure. Li Longji treated him with special favor. Even Yang Yuhuan in the palace treated him with great favor.  He became interested. His official position also had the title of "Yushi Zhongcheng". Although it was not an actual award, it also meant that when he entered the court, others could no longer regard him as a general. He looked down upon Li Linfu.  At first glance, I felt that he was just a kind old man with no skills. I came to visit today purely out of courtesy. I had just been promoted to an official position and had to come to Li Linfu. The main door of the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly opened, and An Lushan stood up.  He was swinging his riding whip and was about to move, but he was stunned when he appeared at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was Ye Chang.
