The green smoke on the Ba River in spring is climbing and turning into a pedestrian every year.

It is almost September, and the willows on the Ba Bridge are no longer as green as the smoky green in early spring, but instead present a scene of withered and yellow decay. Such willows on the Ba Bridge in the farewell place are really lovely! Therefore, whether it is a merchant who is about to travel far or a relative who is seeing off, the faces are all a look of Qi Ran on his face. The only exception is the young official who has just crossed the bridge. The handsome face is a light smile, and the hand that waving the whip shows the ease in his heart. It is just surprising that this young man, who is surrounded by others, seems to be wearing a fourth-rank official uniform.

"Zhuangyuan Gong, is this the new top scholar Tang Bieqing Lord?"

"Who else is it that he has? Not to mention this dynasty, even after so many years of founding the country, he has never had such a young official, let alone a fourth-rank official, so if you want to say that his word is given by His Majesty today." The person who answered knew a lot.

"I know this. I also went to join in the fun of Qujiang Banquet that day, but wasn't it still a fifth-rank a few days ago? Why did it rise so quickly?"

"You are all old Huangsheng. The song "Long Live" of Qianqiu Festival a few days ago was so happy that the emperor was rewarded with the fourth-rank official clothes the next day, and released them to inspect the emperor's direction. The top scholar! That is the stars in the sky descend to the earth. What kind of dirty things can be hidden from those divine eyes? You didn't see that even the Grandmaster An was in a hurry to go back. He was afraid that someone from his subordinates would do something shameful to him, so that the Grandmaster Chancellor could see it. "When this person said this, in order to enhance his inference, he asked back: "Why don't you follow the Grandmaster An's habits, you have to stay for ten days and half a month when you go to Beijing?"

Tang Li naturally couldn't hear these gossips. He had just heard Yang Yuzhao coming to see him off and told An Lushan that he had left Beijing on the same day as him, but it was nearly an hour earlier than him.

Tang Li was really happy to have the opportunity to leave Beijing this time. He was too lazy to bother to guess the reason why An Lushan left Beijing early, but he vaguely felt that Fatty An was definitely one of the reasons.

While controlling the reins, Tang Li asked a woman in plain clothes behind him: "How is it? Is it still accustomed to Miss Lanxin riding a horse?"

"I heard that adults have always been riding cars in Beijing, but they are not easy to ride horses. Now adults can get used to it, so young women can naturally get used to it. "The woman who talks is wearing plain clothes and has a beautiful face, but the self-sustaining demeanor between her eyebrows and eyes is rare. This woman doesn't bring much, but the Yaoqin in the belt on the saddle is particularly eye-catching.

While riding a horse, Tang Li listened to Lan Xin's words and smiled and said, "Only, I have heard from Deputy Chief Wang's words that happened many times. If we leave Beijing this time, if our Taile Administration plan is successfully implemented, we must borrow more from the power of Lan Xin! By the way, I heard that Xiaoman was redeemed by a large merchant in the north. Is this true?" It turns out that the woman who was carrying Yaoqin was Lan Xin, a woman who was good at playing the piano in Pingkangfang that day. She was originally a member of Wannian County Jiaofang. Last time, Taile Administration selected the musicians from Jingzhao County Jiaofang to promote dance, so she also

He was transferred out, but although this woman was always not popular as a singer, she was able to make arrangements. Deputy Chief Wang first discovered her expertise. After some observation, he simply handed over the music workers drawn from the two counties to her for management. This woman had the opportunity to display her talents and was really outstanding in the arrangements. The most rare thing was that she had a male decisive aura in her work, which could suppress other music workers. While she helped Deputy Chief Wang, she also made Lao Wang praised her very much. This time, Tang Li left Beijing and Deputy Chief Wang was the first one on the list of Taile Administration accompanying the Taile Administration listed by Deputy Chief Wang.

"The adults said it was right, and they also had to thank the top scholar for their support that day. Otherwise, how could Xiaoman's sister suddenly become famous? She could finally get out of the sea of ​​suffering and have such a destination? "Lan Xin was really happy to be able to leave Pingkangfang and have the opportunity to display her talents. At this time, she actually joked about Tang Li.

Her statement made Tang Li smile bitterly, "Since that's the case, I will be a good matchmaker for Miss Lanxin another day."

Hearing this, Lan Xin never responded. Her ancestor was Wan Baochang, a famous musician in the former Sui Dynasty. Wan Baochang was a person who was obsessed with music and died of music. His lifelong wish was to ship the sound of the temple to the people and revitalize the elegant music. As a court music official in the former Sui Dynasty, his ambition to promote music to the people was ultimately failed. The sixty-five volumes of the [music score] he wrote with great effort, "It discusses the method of turning the eight rituals into the palace, changing the strings and moving the pillars. It is eighty-four tunes, one hundred and forty-four rules, and the changes finally reached 1,800 sounds." It was also resisted by the court officials because it was too "elegant" and was finally left to the shelves. The successive blows caused this

An outstanding musician eventually died of depression. In the Tang Dynasty, Lan Xin was a lowly family, but she never forgot her ancestors' lifelong wishes, so she could do something like playing the zither of the qin in Pingkangfang. To be honest, this was a kind of unnecessary persistence, but this in turn showed Lan Xin's nature. The reason why she was so happy to leave the capital this time was not only because she was able to leave Pingkangfang, but also because she saw from Tang Li that she hoped to realize her ancestors' lifelong wishes - so that music that was originally used to embellish the temple could spread among the people. With such ambition, now with such an opportunity, Lan Xin's current thoughts are naturally not about these children's love.

Seeing that Lan Xin didn't say anything, Tang Li thought she was shy, so he didn't say much. In addition to temporarily avoiding the storm in the capital, he had two main tasks to complete. One was to take a look at the folk life of the Tang Dynasty on the spot, see how big the climate An had in Hebei, and try to mobilize resources to limit his continued expansion. Of course, if there is a chance, Tang Li would not mind stumble on him. In addition, it was the reform of the local Jiafangsi by the Taile Administration, which had long been envisioned. And musicians like Lan Xin, who came from Jiafangsi and had strong organizational management skills, were his indispensable help.

After walking for a few miles from Ba Bridge, another team of fifteen horses came to join the team. The leader was Tang Guang, who was guarding the fourth captain. They were taken away by their fourth sister-in-law to train that day. At this time, they also came directly from the village outside Chang'an City. Seeing that they were there, Tang Li nodded and said nothing after saying anything.

The group of people who grew up in the team walked about two miles away. Tang Li saw the monk who was frolicking clothes on the roadside, who was nodding at him and smiling. He hurriedly controlled the reins and turned over.

"Wu Ming, others see off at the Shili Chang Pavilion, but you, the monk, are different from others," but this beautiful monk showed a smile that was so beautiful that he said: "I am not seeing off, but here to accompany you."

"Accompany!" Tang Li was stunned for a moment and then understood. The monk was thinking about his father-in-law in Hedong. He immediately pretended to be slutty and said, "Your Grand Master swore that day that he wanted to give me good things. Now this benefit is just a painting cake. Wuming, you are thinking about Hedong again. This is too unauthorized. No, I am really losing too much."

"There is no great achievement in promoting Buddhism! This time, the layman can help the sect to speak in the Pure Land of the Two Rivers Corridor. The great achievement is better than building a hundred pagodas. In a hundred years, he will be able to escape from the suffering sea of ​​reincarnation and return to the state of bliss of the Western Heaven. Wouldn't such a great blessing?" After the beautiful monk finished speaking, he still made a serious 11 ritual to the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Li came here through time and did not take his own tricks. "Monster, don't curse me, who knows which sect of you are standing in? Besides, I practice in this world. If there is no benefit, I will not say a word when I arrive in Hedong."

Wuming was really puzzled. The mother and son were extremely pious in worshipping Buddha. The son was extremely Buddha-natured, and he was not pious, and even the Buddha had to talk about the price. However, this time he went to the two rivers to preach the Dharma was a major event related to the rise and fall of the Dharma Xiang Sect. The most important thing to borrow during this period was naturally Zheng Ziwen, a new observer from Hedongdao. Zheng Ziwen was from a Confucian family and was not interested in Buddhism, so he had to rely on Tang Li to catch this line. Now the monk is a little bit

A wry smiled and said, "It's not that the Grand Master is not trustworthy. What does the layman have to do well since he entered the officialdom? Where do he need the help of this sect? As for the trip to the two rivers to preach the Dharma, the layman needs to make it clear if he needs this sect. However, this sect has little power, so I'm afraid he can't help the layman?" At this point, Wuming raised his head and looked at Tang Li and said, "Ling Tang is pious to the Buddha, and the name of a filial son is spread in Jinzhou. Otherwise, monk, I will go back to Dacien Temple to promote his journey?"

"Die monk, please stop using my mother to suppress me!" Tang Li smiled slightly when he heard this, and put it on Wuming's shoulder and said, "I won't ask you for money, but you look like you are not responsible!" After a joke, Tang Li said seriously: "I have an old friendship with Guizong. I will definitely help you in preaching the Dharma to the two rivers this time, but monk, you must also promise me something."

It is really uncomfortable for a monk to be put on his shoulders, "Please speak with a layman."

Seeing Wuming's uncomfortable face, Tang Li wanted to laugh, and took the opportunity to tighten his hands tighter. "The reason why the Pure Land Sect has risen rapidly in the north for more than ten years is that the internal reason of your sect is not counted. Another important reason is that Fatty An and Shi Siming's support is strongly supported. In return, the Pure Land Sect vigorously promotes An, Shi is the "Two Saints", and is extremely confusing among the people of the two rivers. What you monk has to do is to destroy the false reputation of the "Two Saints". How about this? You won't make you embarrassed, right?"

Wuming heard that Tang Li’s request was just like this, so he immediately put a big stone in his heart: “Dare not to obey orders!”

With more than ten monks on the same journey, Tang Li's team grew stronger and stronger. He stayed at the inn that night and lived in a separate courtyard from An Lushan. Of course, neither of these two people were interested in visiting each other.

The next day, Tang Li got up early, left Fatty An behind, and headed to Hedong first, and walked around the road. There was no need to say much about the grand reception of the government along the way. After more than half a month, he finally arrived outside the city of Jinyang, the capital.

The northern capital Jinyang is located in the center of the two rivers, and its strategic position is extremely important. In addition, it was the place where Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty rose to the east. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty has always called it the "Three Capitals" together with Chang'an, the western capital and Luoyang, the eastern capital. Its scale is not much smaller than that of Luoyang.

Guanfeng was here with all his heart. There were a large number of officials waiting outside the Jinyang City Gate. When Tang Li saw that the leader was not Zheng Ziwen, he turned his head and smiled at Monk Wuming, "I am a regular brand Guanfeng, and I am a patrol on behalf of the emperor. I said that my old father-in-law would come to greet him. Now it seems that he is holding an air."

"Don't talk about Guanfeng, the layman is just a prince, and Lord Zheng is also your father-in-law. How can he have the reason for his father-in-law to go so far to welcome his son-in-law? Get off the horse quickly, and the monks will pass by!" After getting familiar with the journey, Wuming's words were a little unpredictable.

The person who led the team to greet him was Hedong's farewell, which was only for the civil servants of the Observer. As for the military general, they were naturally led by the general of the escort Guo Ziyi. Tang Li dismounted from his horse and walked by, and after a while, the officials guarded the city.

He was about to say a few intimate words with Guo Ziyi, but found that the civil servants who came to greet him on Hedong Road seemed to be not interested in Guo Ziyi, so he did not have too many greetings at the moment, and he would wait until the city to find out the situation before talking about it.

This time when he arrived in Jinyang, he enjoyed the treatment of Fatty An when he entered Beijing. The south gate of the main gate of Jinyang was temporarily closed. When Tang Li and his party entered the city, they saw the pack horses waiting for the passage in the city gate lined up into a team of several miles, which was extremely spectacular. He had seen many similar pack horse teams along the way, and he didn't care much about it. At this time, so many gathered, and the pack bags carried by each batch of pack horses were marked with a small mark with the word "mountain", so he had to stab his eyes. He smiled and asked the owner of the carriage who was accompanying him: "Which carriage is this? It's really powerful."

"Oh! These are the pack horses of the 'Shanji's goods store. The main store of the Shanji goods store is located in Youzhou, Hebei Road, and only operates two items: Northland fur and Silla ginseng." In this way, the Donkey touched his beard and then said: "Eighty percent of the fur and Silla ginseng in my Tang Dynasty are issued by the Shanji goods store. How big is it? It's not much now. After more than a month, the end of the year will be approaching, and there are more pack horses on the north and south pipelines."

"Shan Ji!" For some reason, the first thing Tang Li said when he heard this name was An Lushan. The main store of Shan Ji was located in Youzhou, and Fatty An also served as the governor of Youzhou. Although he only operated fur goods and participated in two businesses, both of them were huge profits. Controlling 80% of the market meant that it had formed a de facto monopoly. Therefore, Tang Li thought of the fact that Fatty An went to Beijing on that day. The merchants in the north of Chang'an and the east and west cities of Chang'an collectively reduced prices.

But this is the same as a Jinshi, and he seems to be disdainful of talking about merchants. Before Tang Li asks questions, he has turned the topic to [Tang Poetry Review] with great enthusiasm.

They talked and joked all the way, and the people took Tang Li to the Jinyang Post Station before temporarily leaving, saying that they would see each other again at the luncheon banquet.

The buildings in the Tang Dynasty were beautiful with a large and spacious pavilion, and the Beidu Post Station was no exception. When Tang Li went in, he saw that the layout of the post station was really the same as Bai Juyi said in his poem, "There are pavilions and platforms, pools and gardens." Its area covers no less than a hundred acres.

Tang Li Yixin occupied a large courtyard with three courtyards intact. The entourage monk Wuming and his party had already left when they saw the welcome team outside the city. The others were led by the post officer, and the post chief personally accompanied Tang Li to see the residence prepared for him.

There are all kinds of study rooms, flower halls, and main halls. Tang Li was extremely satisfied with such accommodation conditions. After reading the study room, he was about to go out of his way, but the postmaster suddenly leaned over and said, "The little man Yan Wu paid homage to the Lord. The king learned that the Lord had arrived in Hedong. He sent a reply letter yesterday. It would take three days to go to Hedong for five days to meet the Lord."

The postmaster of Hedong Road was a genuine eighth-rank official. When the officials of the superiors and subordinates of the Tang Dynasty met, they only had to bow their hands to serve as a courtesy. Therefore, Yan Wu's sudden bow really made Tang Li different. After hearing his words, he realized that this person was actually Hei Tian's subordinate.

"Okay! You have a promising future. You have reached the eighth grade in just a few months!" Knowing that it was his own, Tang Li's face turned aside the reserve of Guan Fengzhang. He smiled and praised him, then helped him up and asked, "Where is Brother Hei now?"

"The villain can have today, all depends on the cultivation of the great master and the king." Yan Wu stood up and said, "The king should have arrived today, but something happened temporarily, so it was postponed. Yesterday, the letter was sent to the emperor and the king was still in Puzhou."

"Oh! What happened?" Yan Wu couldn't answer the question from Tang Li, "The letter did not say it. When the Heavenly King arrives, the lord will know it naturally."

"Well," it seems that there is a big deal, and the confidentiality of this matter is not low, so Hei Tiancai did not explain in the letter. Tang Li no longer asked this question, but instead said: "Do you know the exact place where Miss Guaigua is now?"

"Miss Guagua is now accompanied by Zhao Yangming himself, inspecting the separate buildings of Hengzhou in this road." Yan Wu looked at Tang Li and said, "Do you want to send a message to the lady..."

"This girl is really mean. She told her that the main purpose of this trip was to relax. She just couldn't let go. Zhao Yangming was busy with so many things in a day, and he could accompany her everywhere." Hearing this, Tang Li shook his head helplessly and said, "Well, send me a message and let Miss Guagua come to Jinyang to meet me."

Yan Wu was about to go when Tang Li ordered another command: "I'm going to visit Zheng Observer soon. After sending a message, you will come back soon and tell me about the Hedong incident first. I'd better have a clue."

Yan Wu went away with a word. At this time, Tang Guang, who had simply packed up his residence, walked in. He did not bring a maid along the way, so he worked part-time as Tang Li's service.

At this time, there were only two people in the entire study. Looking at the water brought by Tang Guang, when Tang Li leaned over to wash, he finally couldn't help asking the question he had been holding back all the way, "Tang Guang, after the last time Yuzhu was stabbed, he was picked up by the fourth sister-in-law who happened to be here. You have been in the village, she is now..."

"Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't say what shouldn't be said, don't look at what shouldn't be seen. This is the first ban in the village. I don't know about the matter of Yuzhu." Tang Guang answered simply.

"Yeah, then forget it." Tang Li said vaguely, then buried his head in pursuing his face. No one could see the expression on his face clearly.

At this moment, a light footsteps came, and then a gentle voice heard: "Young master, let me serve you to wash!"

Tang Li raised his head from the copper basin and brought out a big bunch of water. "Pearl!" The matter is not very confidential, so Hei Tian did not explain in the letter. Tang Li no longer asked this question and instead said: "Do you know the exact place where Miss Guaigua is now?"

"Miss Guagua is now accompanied by Zhao Yangming himself, inspecting the separate buildings of Hengzhou in this road." Yan Wu looked at Tang Li and said, "Do you want to send a message to the lady..."

"This girl is really mean. She told her that the main purpose of this trip was to relax. She just couldn't let go. Zhao Yangming was busy with so many things in a day, and he could accompany her everywhere." Hearing this, Tang Li shook his head helplessly and said, "Well, send me a message and let Miss Guagua come to Jinyang to meet me."

Yan Wu was about to go when Tang Li ordered another command: "I'm going to visit Zheng Observer soon. After sending a message, you will come back soon and tell me about the Hedong incident first. I'd better have a clue."

"Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't say what shouldn't be said, don't look at what shouldn't be seen. This is the first ban in the village. I don't know about the matter of Yuzhu." Tang Guang answered simply.

At this moment, a light footsteps came, and then a gentle voice heard: "Young master, let me serve you to wash!"

Tang Li raised his head from the copper basin and brought a big bunch of water. "Pearl!" After three incense sticks, Tang Li, who had a completely fresh body, took Yan Wu out of the post station and turned into a book and headed towards the Observation Mansion.
Chapter completed!
