    The auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the arrival of this winter snow has turned Chang'an into a city covered in silver.  Yuan Qiao rubbed his hands to warm them before putting on the leather gloves.  The leather boots made a squeaking sound on the snow. He saw the driver checking the axle and brake, and asked: "Is the road safe?" "Zhongcheng, don't worry, I went to see it early in the morning.  Every branch organized manpower to clear the snow, and there was no problem on the road. The word "Zhongcheng" made Yuan Gongdao smile slightly. Ten years ago, he would never have thought that he, a small county magistrate with no backing, could be in such a short period of time.  In the same way, he did not expect that Ye Chang, whom he looked down upon, would become his biggest supporter ten years ago. At the time, he thought that this person would be arrogant and would get into trouble sooner or later because of his talent, so he deliberately avoided it.  He never imagined that today would happen "Selling water, selling water, water from underground wells and springs, sweet and sweet" The voice of the water seller came from the distance, and Yuan Qiao couldn't help but turn his eyes to a corner of his yard, where there was a half-timbered tree.  The half-iron machine is standing upright. This is a pressurized water well called an "underground well". It is a new thing introduced from Liaodong in the past two years. The well mouth is completely closed, so there is no need to worry about dirty things falling into it, and there is no need to worry about children or the elderly.  The risk of falling into the water. Every time Yuan Gongdao sees this, he admires Ye Chang's ingenuity and wisdom. This has supported a new industry in Chang'an City. In recent years, the people of Chang'an City have become more and more particular about hygiene.  The Commercial Printing House sells brochures that introduce hygiene knowledge at a low price of a few cents. It can be said to be all-inclusive. Some knowledge about the environment and food hygiene has been popularized. The carriage ran on the streets of Chang'an City, and the Yuan Highway opened the curtain.  Ren Feng frowned, thinking about a question: Ye Chang was in a very difficult situation in the court, what should he do. He originally stayed in the court to represent Ye Chang's interests, but over the years, he  It seemed a little too passive. When the carriage was halfway, he saw a person on the side of the road, who seemed to be waiting for the track bus. He said "Zimei, Zimei, where are you going?"  Do you want me to give you a ride?  " Du Fu was waiting for the shuttle bus. He raised his head and saw that it was Yuan Gong Road. He jogged for two steps and complained as he got on the bus: "It's cold and the axle is broken. I can only take the shuttle bus. Fortunately, I met Yuan Gong.  , Otherwise, I don¡¯t know how long we have to wait.¡± ¡°Haha, your coachman is so bad, please change it sometime.¡±  "After all, I came here to seek refuge with my hometown. The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as before I am going to Ye Gong's house. What about you? "As expected, I am also going to Ye Gong's place." Yuan Gongdao said.  The two were silent for a while. Du Fu looked at the street scene outside and said as if unintentionally: "The cold wind is coming. " "It's the cold wind that's coming" Yuan Gongdao murmured: "The "Min Bao" said that the cold wind is coming.  The source of the cold air comes from thousands of miles north of Suiye City, where the weather is cold and freezing. In winter, the cold air freezes and spreads outward If the source of the cold air is not solved, such a cold wave will inevitably occur.  " "How can it be solved?  "Du Fu shook his head. The two were exchanging opinions in a subtle way. In terms of political stance, the two of them are now consistent. They both belong to Ye Chang's faction. The Yuan Highway Officer has been appointed as the Censor Zhongcheng, and Du Fu is called Wu Wu.  The Yin Yushi are all deeply imprinted on Ye Chang. Unless they change their families, their honor and disgrace will be closely tied to Ye Chang. The cold wind in their mouths refers to the current dilemma Ye Chang is facing.  The source of the wind is Li Longji. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the ruler of this empire, is also the source of Ye Chang's dilemma. Yuan Gongdao and Du Fu are both traditional literati, and they have been immersed in loyalty for a long time.  You can easily imagine the rest of Li Longji's boredom. "Ye Gong is really having a hard time.  "Du Fu sighed softly. Yuan Gongluo looked at Du Fu and wondered whether he should trust Du Fu. "He has a big plan, and this plan needs help. Du Fu is called the Unprinted Censor. If he advocates,  Things could be much easier to do. Advocating? Yuan Gongdao suddenly thought of something: Du Fu was the one who invited Ye Chang to run the newspaper. Did Ye Chang know that this newspaper would have a huge impact?  So why do you do this? "If this is true, Ye Changran has a very far-reaching plan. In the meantime" Yuan Gongdao's heart was pounding, and then he tried to control his emotions and prevent himself from showing that he had never been a noble person.  He is a person, but he is also not a very courageous person, so the thought that comes to his mind now is so strong that he can hardly bear it. "Zhongcheng, here we are.  "He was thinking about that matter and heardsaid the coachman.  Having arrived at Ye Chang's house, Yuan Gongdao and Du Fu got out of the car and were about to enter, but saw a person coming out, "It was Xiao Bolang."  Today, Xiao Bolang is no longer the leader of the rangers. He has a somewhat special identity. He is regarded as Ye Chang's partner, responsible for selling various weapons to the countries and tribes around the northeast of the Tang Dynasty.  Of course, they are some of the weapons eliminated by Liaodong. The iron smelting and casting industry in Liaodong has widely used animal power and hydraulic forging hammers. The quality of the armor produced is quite low, and the price is still cheap.  However, the rate of defective products is still relatively high, which has always been a big problem. After Xiao Brown discovered this, he volunteered to solve this problem specifically for Liaodong Iron Workshop.  While selling these defective products at high prices, he also stirred up trouble with the people he sold them to.  As for the means of provoking trouble, it is not enough for outsiders.  In short, the most outstanding thing he has learned is the current civil strife in Bohai Kingdom.  Originally, the Bohai Kingdom was also eyeing the land of Liaodong. If it were not afraid of the Tang Dynasty, it would have swallowed this fat meat in one gulp.  But Xiao Bolang helped his cousin Shen Xi, a great master, to provoke a rebellion in the southern part of the Bohai Kingdom. The two thousand Bohai people trained by Ye Chang for Shen Xi became the main force of the rebels, and Xiao Bolang became Shen Xi's biggest enemy.  Ordnance supplier.  It was difficult for Ye Chang to do this kind of thing, so Xiao Bolang took care of it.  It is said that the great masters of the Bohai Kingdom also learned of the news and offered a reward of five million yuan to capture Xiao Braun.  "Yuan Gong, Du Gong, are you also here to look for Ye Gong?" Seeing the two of them, Xiao Bolang stepped forward to say hello with a smile.  Yuan Gongdao felt a little awkward in his heart. This was just a profiteer who was a ranger, and now he was integrated with their interests.  There are really not many people standing on Ye Chang's side.  Du Fu didn't have as many thoughts as he did, and just said curiously: "I haven't seen Xiao Langjun for a long time. When did he return to Chang'an? Where is he working now?" Although he knew Xiao Bolang, he didn't know what Xiao Bolang was doing now.  .  Xiao Brown said with a smile: "I was in Liaodong, relying on Ye Gong's power to make a living. Now when I return to Chang'an, I naturally have to pay homage to Ye Gong. It's just something unlucky today. Ye Gong is not here. It said that he has gone  "Zhuangzi outside the city, I don't know when I can come back." "Zhuangzi outside the city?" Yuan Gongdao and Du Fu looked at each other. At this time, Ye Chang was not in charge of the center, so what was he doing outside the city?  "I don't know what you are doing in Zhuangzi Hey, someone is coming over there again." Although there are always a lot of guests in front of Ye Chang's house, those who come to the side door like them are all close people.  Xiao Bolang looked at the visitor with a smile on his face. Yuan Gongdao glanced at the visitor and bowed his hands.  The person who came was the consort Dugu Ming. Although his status among Li Longji's sons-in-law was not high, Yuan Gongdao and others would not despise him, because the princess he married was Xincheng, who had a very close relationship with Shouan.  Moreover, their family had a very bad relationship with the Yang family. Li Longji almost sent his daughter to marry him as a princess.  Then several more people came, and they were all relatives and nobles such as princes-in-law and county princes-in-law. Yuan Gongdao's heart was moved again. Although these people were relatives of nobles, most of them were at odds with the Yang family, so they were not favored by Li Longji.  joy.  But most of them were the first shareholders to set up the Andong Chamber of Commerce. Over the years, they were even persuaded by Ye Chang to adopt new techniques, open workshops, or engage in large-scale manor planting.  In a sense, they are different from their deceased relatives. Economically, they are independent of the court and imperial power, and use management methods similar to Ye Chang's to manage their own property.  Outside Chang'an City, about twenty miles southwest.  Ye Chang squinted his eyes and looked at the small Zhuangzi in front of him from a distance. He was looking from atop a hill, and he was holding a telescope in his hand, so the people in the village were unaware of him.  "Are you sure?" Ye Chang asked.  "Confirmation, the people from Zhuangzi rode to the West Racecourse that night. There were more than 20 people in total." Bian Ping, who was following Ye Chang, said with a dull expression.  It would be a big mistake if you were fooled by his dull expression.  Some of Bian Ping's talents have been fully developed. Now he is Ye Chang's intelligence chief stationed in Chang'an, and nominally has a position in the Longwu Army.  "You said that there were two groups of people who were very suspicious that day. One group was a ranger from Chang'an City who had a good relationship with Longwu Wanqi. They went to Ximachang in the afternoon of that day. They were nominally watching the fun, but in fact they were conducting reconnaissance for a long time.  "It seems that they intend to seize the West Racecourse?" "Yes, this group of people is Xingtai, but this person has a good relationship with Wang Welding and is controlled by Doctor Wang. They have been gathering together for secret discussions recently. I suspect they are trying to fake it.  The thieves were doing a big deal. They stayed here for a long time, and their whereabouts were suspicious, but they returned to the city before the ban on drums. I found out that they indulged in singing and drinking and did not do anything again.  Eliminate them. " Bian Ping answered very carefully. The information he obtained and the reasons for his judgment were all taught to him by Ye Chang before, but he is now better than his master.  "Therefore, these are the people who are suspicious, have you confirmed their backgrounds?  " "Yes, the Taoist priest in the village is Li Mi, and there are forty or fifty others. They don't farm on weekdays, they just work hard and practice martial arts. In name, Zhuangzi belongs to the eunuch Li Jingzhong, but in fact it should be secretly hidden by the prince.  of manpower.  "Ye Chang grinned and smiled silently. "Prince Li Heng" At first, he didn't take the fire in Ximachang to heart. He just habitually asked Bian Ping to investigate, but he never thought that he would almost be killed by him.  The forgotten prince Li Heng, there is still such a thing buried here. Li Mi, a celebrity who was famous as a child prodigy in his early years, Ye Chang had met him several times. At that time, Ye Chang did not have the power he has today, so  I had no intention of recruiting him. When I had the strength to recruit him, I forgot about it. I never thought that he would live in seclusion here instead of Songshan. Not only did he live in seclusion here, he also worked for Li Heng here. Ye Chang was very happy.  Knowing the ability of this Li Mi, in the history of his other life, this Li Mi was a legendary figure in the middle period of Li Tang Dynasty. For several generations of Tang emperors, as long as they relied on him and believed in him, the regime would be stable.  His regime was in turmoil. It can be said that Li Mi was the best counselor in the middle Tang Dynasty. At this time, Li Mi was still very young, just thirty years old, but Li Heng's intelligence and strategy should not be underestimated.  He is very disdainful. He is big-hearted but shallow-minded. He loves power but has no strategy. He is almost useless except for tolerance. Moreover, his tolerance is still cruel on the outside. In the Anshi Rebellion in another life, he wanted to return as soon as possible.  When Chang'an became the emperor, he even gave Chang'an's children gold and silk to the Huihe people. Ye Chang didn't take Li Heng seriously at all, but if Li Heng and Li Mi were included, the difficulty of dealing with him would be completely different.  Yes, after all, Li Mi is just Li Heng's hidden adviser, and may not have Li Heng's complete trust, so he does not have the power to make decisions. If he had the power to make decisions, I'm afraid he would not do such a stupid thing.  The burning of the horse farm and the sacrifice of prisoners should have been a plan made by that idiot Li Heng before he left Chang'an. Now that Li Heng is staying in the Hot Spring Palace with Li Longji, he sends someone to urge Li Mi, and Li Mi has no choice but to ignore it.  The manpower has been summoned and can be mobilized at any time.  "Bian Ping said again. Ye Chang nodded, but did not speak. Bian Ping was quite capable. Under Li Longji's suspicion, it was difficult for Li Heng to leave the East Palace, but he still secretly buried this Zhuangzi.  But it only took Bian Ping a day and a night to dig out this Zhuangzi. It was not difficult for him to kill him. But if he did so, would it scare the snake? He was thinking about this question.  When a person appeared in Zhuangzi, he was a man of immortal character and handsome appearance. He looked about twenty years old and was about the same age as Ye Chang. "Li Mi" Ye Chang's heart moved.  Telepathy, or for some reason, they looked towards Ye Chang. They looked at each other several miles apart. Ye Chang saw the expression on Li Mi's face, but Li Mi didn't see him.  Looking at the snow-capped mountains, I took a long breath. It was snowing well. Even if they left any traces the night before, they would have disappeared after the heavy snow.  Those who suffered the mountain fire are lucky that the mountain fire has been extinguished by the snow. "With the founder of the Three Qing Dynasties, it finally didn't cause too many killings Alas, for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, I had to do it" Li Bi thought in his heart.  Muttering to himself, he didn't know that a few miles away from here, Ye Chang put down his telescope and looked back at Bian Ping. "You just said, what does that criminal seem to be doing?  " "Exactly.  " "Inquire carefully with people to see what they are doing.  Ye Chang smiled: "They are really good at scheming. They want me to think that it was Yang Zhao who made me fight with Yang Zhao It's ridiculous."  Since this is the case, I will follow their own methods and control their bodies.  " Bian Ping responded respectfully and did not ask any questions.
