In the afternoon, it rained heavily.
An extremely luxuriously decorated carriage drove through the heavy rain and entered Prince An's Mansion.
Where the carriage stopped, Li Ye was already waiting. When the carriage stopped, he took the big umbrella from the servant, walked into the rain, and personally propped it up for the people who got out of the carriage.
"Brother Ye, why do you want to open an umbrella?" It was King Pu Li Yan who stepped out of the carriage, and he looked up at the edge of the umbrella.
"It's raining, of course you need an umbrella." Li Ye smiled and welcomed Li Ye into the Chaoshou corridor, then put away the umbrella and handed it back to the servant.
Li Yan flicked the sporadic drops of water on his sleeves, and sniffed at Li Ye's demeanor: "If it's raining and we need an umbrella, why do we need this body?"
Li Ye smiled without saying a word, just dragged Li Yan into the room.
Now he has the need to hide his true cultivation, so he is unwilling to use magic in front of others, so as not to be seen through his strength. The eunuch Tian Lingzi who is following behind Li Yan is a master.
Sitting in the hall, Li Ye ordered tea and snacks. Li Yan came with the news, and seemed a little impatient. As soon as he sat down, he said to Li Ye: "The news just came out from the palace. Han Wenyue and Liu Xingshen have agreed. Speak kindly to His Majesty about your appointment."

This matter was expected by Li Ye, so he didn't show much surprise, but he still expressed his gratitude to Li Yan, and Li Yan waved his hand, with a look of indifference: "Brother Ye, I'm paying you back! Thank you so much, helping me is helping me, we are on the same boat now. To be honest, you have done me a great favor by taking down Li Guanshu after taking a trip to Niu Shou Mountain this time, First Prince , I'm guessing he's having a temper tantrum with Duke Wei right now."
Li Ye smiled and said: "Wei Gong's heart towards the eldest prince is because he thinks that the eldest prince can be a helper. The first prince wins over Wei Gong because he also wants to use the power of the other party's court. Although it is not a secret that the two get close, Li Guanshu said that If it is planted back, the dirty water will be splashed on Wei Gong at most, and it will not have much effect on the eldest prince."
Li Yan waved his hand: "I don't care so much, anyway, it's the eldest prince's influence, which is beneficial to you and me." As he spoke, he smiled and leaned forward to get closer to Li Ye, "Brother Ye Son, tell me honestly, how did Li Guanshu die? What is the identity of the person you brought back?"
"I've answered you countless times about this." Li Ye spread his hands, feeling helpless, "I really don't know how Li Guanshu died. As for the man I brought back, he was a quack monk—don't you? I feel that I am not attractive enough to make people work, how many customers will I accept?"
"That's not true." Li Yan sneered twice, glanced at Li Ye, and finally couldn't hold back, and said the reason, "It's not like you have changed a lot since you came back from the top of Shen Yunshan Taixuan Well, among other things, Han Wenyue and Liu Xingshen agreed to contribute to your official career, and you have already reached this point, which is really surprising."
Li Ye didn't take it seriously: "Han Wenyue was able to accept Tian Lingzi as his adopted son before, which means that they are interested in you. This time, they are willing to help me in my official career. It is also because I am on the same boat with you, and they don't help their own people. , do you want to help others?"
Li Yan curled her lips: "In my opinion, if you hadn't exposed Li Guanshu's conspiracy and given them a chance to suppress Wei Gong, they would not have helped. What you said before, it is difficult to understand what others are going to do." Well, it is the only way to make friends, now it seems that it is indeed the case!"
Li Ye smiled and said nothing, he is always not good at boasting.
In politics, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Li Yan continued to ask like a curious baby: "Then Brother Ye, why not speculate again, Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue promised to help you with good words, will your majesty listen?"
Drinks and snacks have been served, Li Ye took a sip of the grape wine, and said in a calm manner: "There is no need to speculate on this matter, the facts are obvious, and His Majesty will definitely listen."
Li Yan is not used to drinking wine from the Western Regions, and he can't understand the artistic conception of Wang Han's poem. He still likes the rice wine native to China. He raised his glass to drink. After listening to Li Ye's words, he put down the glass again and asked quickly: "How can you be so sure?"
Li Ye knew that Li Yan didn't like to think about things, so he said bluntly: "When you went back to Dongdu, you also heard the rumors about my father's death. Now that the rumors have spread to Chang'an, Han Wenyue only needs to mention this rumor to His Majesty. , Your Majesty will not treat me badly when I become an official."
Although Li Yan doesn't like to think about things, but his brain is not stupid, he immediately reacted when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "The rumors are too vicious. Your Majesty, in order to prove to the world that uncle did not die because of the king's suspicion, the best way is to Treat you well and reuse you, so I will definitely give you a good official position."
Li Ye said solemnly: "Your Majesty is naturally not someone who is afraid of rumors, but in order to appease people's hearts, he will definitely do this. Speaking of which, I have taken advantage of it."
In front of Li Yan, Li Ye would not criticize the emperor Li Min, after all, he never scolded other people's father in front of other people's sons. But in his heart, Li Ye knew that if the rumors were just rumors, Li Wei might not pay attention to them, but the rumors were not just rumors. In order to cover up his past actions and whitewash the peace, Li Wei would definitely let him go out of office smoothly.
Li Yan didn't expect this, and after listening to Li Ye's words, she smiled happily: "Brother Ye, you are really lucky, you can pick up such a bargain. Speaking of which, I don't know who is spreading rumors. He Fangsheng, I hated them before, but now that I think about it, I should thank them."
Li Ye smiled inwardly, Song Jiao had already told him that it was the Taoist sect who spread the rumors, and if it was according to Li Yan's statement, he would also like to thank the Taoist sect.
It's just that, with Xu Qingfeng plotting against him in the past, Li Ye naturally didn't like Taoism. After all, it was an existence that wanted to subvert the dynasty, and it colluded so much with the feudal towns that it could be called a serious problem for the dynasty. The king of subjugation.
Of course, compared to the previous life, things are different now. Li Ye first won Qinglian from the Daoist sect, and now he was unintentionally pushed by the Daoist sect on the important matter of becoming an official. He really took advantage of it.
It has to be said that the fate of the two lives has been completely different.
Li Yan drank a few glasses of wine, full of interest, thinking of Li Ye and his "bright future", couldn't help but blushed, clapped his hands and said: "Now there are Han Wen asked to speak, outside there are princes and others to help, brother Ye is going to be an official The matter is already settled, and I am happy, it should be clear!"
...
Ten days later, Li Ye was indeed appointed as an official with real power.
...
In July, according to the "Dayan Calendar", it is already autumn, but the weather is still hot and unabated.
After a heavy rain that lasted for three days, the air was quite refreshing. At dusk, Li Ye went up to the second floor of a restaurant. Instead of sitting on the wine table, he twisted a pot of Shi Dongchun and sat next to the beauty , looking at the passing pedestrians on the street, taking a sip from time to time.
This restaurant has a good name, it is called Yipin Building, the place is not big or small, the decoration is simple and elegant, with a bit of style, and it is also facing the small river in the city, the environment is quiet, it is supposed to be a good place, but the wine it sells is really not good How good, so there are not many customers.
Li Ye hadn't been drinking the wine for a long time, when someone stepped upstairs and came straight to him. This man was dressed in a white robe and jade belt, and looked like a scholar, but he carried a long sword on his back, dressed as a swordsman, and twisted a pot of wine in his hand: "Green Ant New Fermented wine, a small red clay stove, it’s like snow in the evening, and you can drink a cup without it. Xiangshan Layman’s poem is a good poem, but the word "green ant" originally meant that the newly brewed wine has not been filtered, and the surface of the wine The green bubbles that appear look like ants, but now they are used directly as the name of the wine, which is really wrong and degrading to the gentleman."
Bai Juyi, nicknamed Xiangshan Jushi.
The man sat down beside Li Ye, with one hand resting on the wooden railing, and his legs were placed in a random manner. He tilted his head up and took a big sip of wine, closed his eyes as if immersed in it, and finally smacked his lips: "But The wine is really strong enough, I like it."
As he said that, he turned his head to look at Li Ye: "I don't know if Li Shaoyin also likes this green ant wine?"
