Li Ye didn't answer Shangguan Qingcheng's question, and Shangguan Qingcheng also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he pleaded guilty and withdrew.
The reason why Li Zhen took refuge in Li Ye was nothing more than two reasons. One was that Li Ye was worthy of refuge, and the other was that he was in a difficult situation and had nowhere to go. Neither of these two reasons will succeed. For Confucian scholars who aspire to be promoted, it is easy to be unwilling to give up the goal of being a Jinshi and ranking first.
Not long after Shangguan Qingcheng retired, Song Jiao came to report his daily affairs to him, which also included the placement of Rui Mengmeng. Song Jiao meant to bring her by her side, on the one hand, it was convenient to take care of her, after all, Li Zhen was a big Old men are not suitable for taking care of little girls. On the other hand, according to Song Jiao herself, she thinks Rui Mengmeng is quite spiritual, and she wants to try to cultivate her to see if she can be absorbed into Bailudong.
"I have no objection to this matter. You can just tell Li Zhen, and he probably won't have any objection." Li Ye nodded. Song Jiao is the most outstanding disciple of this generation in Bailudong, and she can appreciate Rui. Mengmeng is also the other party's creation.

Speaking of Li Zhen, Song Jiao asked: "If Li Zhen knows about the inn, will he have any opinion on you?"
Li Ye glanced at Song Jiao, then turned around and said calmly: "You really think that Li Zhen didn't know about the inn, and I deliberately arranged it? Even Shangguan Qingcheng can think of a problem, if Li Zhen can't think of it, then he is not. I value great talent."
Song Jiao nodded slightly: "That's true. In this way, even if Li Zhen thought of being expelled from the inn, you deliberately arranged it so that he would have no choice but to accept your kindness, and he would not care."
Li Ye chuckled lightly: "Of course he doesn't care. I worked so hard just to let him enter Prince An's Mansion. He should know how much I value him. Besides, it's a good thing for him to enter Prince An's Mansion. Why are you still harboring grudges?"
"People are poor and short-sighted, and those who are poor are arrogant and arrogant, not because their aspirations are really great and firm, but because they are not poor enough. If they are so poor that they can't even afford food or even a place to live, Even my parents are ashamed to face it, so how can I have such great ambition? After all, ambition can’t fill your stomach.”
The reason why Li Ye is so sure is that he is familiar with Li Zhen. The other party is not a pedantic scholar. According to what Li Ye knew in his previous life, this person does not stick to trivial matters.
Song Jiao's eyes were a little weird, she looked Li Ye up and down, and suddenly smiled: "You really amaze me more and more, if this is the case, it's not that you stay behind closed doors, only people of the age of the crown can say derived."
Li Ye didn't take it seriously: "Could it be that in your opinion, young people are full of aspirations and ideals, simply thinking that where there is a will, there is a way?"
Song Jiao smiled slightly: "Where there is a will, things come true, I don't care about them, everyone's luck is different, and they are destined to have different experiences in life. There are many poor and poor people in this world, and they don't all work hard. "
Speaking of this, Song Jiao suddenly sighed, as if Qiu Shui's eyes were always hinting at him, she kept looking at Li Ye: "You are really different from senior brother, he is upright and never disdains conspiracy, I even doubt now, are you Not his son."
The senior brother she was talking about was of course Li Xian, so of course she couldn't take what she said completely seriously.
Li Ye didn't say much. Before crossing, he had a high level of cultivation, and the corresponding state of mind was also very free and easy. He didn't have so many worldly moral constraints. It didn't matter to him what kind of conspiracy. .
The two stood still for a while, and Song Jiao asked: "Now, Wang Duo and Lu Yan are gathering evidence of Wei Baoheng's dereliction of duty, and want to impeach him. What should we do? Do you want the Tsingyi Yamen to help? "
Li Ye shook his head: "It's not necessary. If I need to do everything, what do you need Wang Duo and Lu Yan to do? Tsingyi Yamen can't be exposed, and now I'm just the Shaoyin of Chang'an Prefecture, with limited status and power, and I can't do more than I should. For things, keeping a low profile and making a fortune in silence is the current purpose of doing things.”
Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "I can form the Tsingyi Yamen, Wang Duo and Lu Yan also have the influence of followers, what the Tsingyi Yamen can do, their people can also do, there is no need for me to add to the snake. "
Song Jiao nodded, smiled suddenly, and said teasingly, "You are afraid that they will find out. You killed Kang Chengxun, right?"
Li Ye said with a smile: "In the huge city of Chang'an, I'm just an insignificant little person with limited cultivation. If a court official like Kang Chengxun died in Luoyang, what does it have to do with me? Who would think of me?"
Song Jiao found that Li Ye's smile was really weird.
He is like a wolf hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity. When the wind is turbulent outside, he is just watching the fire from the shore and will not be affected by the fish in the pond. However, those treacherous trends are all provoked by him, which is of great benefit to himself. He just needs to wait for the opportunity and go out to reap the benefits.
Song Jiao couldn't describe the strange feeling Li Ye gave her at this time, which she never had when she was with Li Xian. Continuously, so that it eventually developed into the difficulty of Bagong Mountain.
In the days that followed, based on the memories of his previous life, Li Ye went around "visiting" those good ministers and talents who had a great reputation in the future and had impressive performances in the situation of world wars, but have yet to make a fortune. After two months of hard work, he successfully absorbed three more people. Relying on the luck of these people, Li Ye successfully raised his cultivation to the fifth level of Qi training.
Scholars are different from Jianghu monks. It is difficult to get the loyalty of the latter, and the three views are different depending on the identity, but for those scholars who need to become an official, as long as the other party is willing to establish a master-slave relationship with Li Ye, Then the dragon energy in Li Ye's body can immediately gather the opponent's luck.
Yes, it is gathering, not absorbing. Human luck is different from the Dao luck in the Taoist text. Human luck cannot be absorbed, it can only be gathered, that is, it will not affect the other party. This is the principle of gathering crowds and crowds.
Just when Li Ye was keeping a low profile and accumulating strength in secret, Wang Duo, Lu Yan and Wei Baoheng were already in a fierce battle in the court, but for a while, no one could do anything to each other. During the exam.
The outstanding officials in the feudal towns all over the world, those talents who are expected to be promoted and reused by the court, all gathered in Chang'an in mid-October, hoping to be recognized by the Ministry of Officials and the prime ministers, so that they can make a fortune.
The important officials in the court have basically stood in line now, and with Wang Duo, Lu Yan and Wei Baoheng evenly matched, it becomes a matter of breaking the balance to win over those new forces who are about to be reused by the court and enter the court. The essential.
Because of the fierce competition, the two factions showed their talents, searched for candidates early, and promised them that they could get the approval of the officials. For the officials of the feudal town, it is also a dream to get the approval and support of a certain prime minister. Now the official atmosphere is dim, and it is impossible to get along without forming cliques.
All of a sudden, in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a bustling crowd, and the entire Chang'an City became more and more lively.
In comparison, Prince An's Mansion looked very clean.
When Li Ye was on duty, he would either sit in the yamen or patrol the streets. He had a clear understanding of everything that happened in Chang'an City, and he didn't easily get involved in it.
Of course, contact with Wang Duo and Li Yan is indispensable, but Li Ye, the young official of the Chang'an Mansion, is not yet the chief official of the Chang'an Mansion, and his energy is limited, so no one imposes any tasks on him. Ye, the most important thing is Li Ye's future potential, but Li Yan comes to Prince An's Mansion every now and then. He has a close relationship with Li Ye and they often hang out together. Even if Li Ye didn't support him, he would still come. Very diligent.
Li Ye's seemingly peaceful life did not last long. Soon, an unexpected news made him unable to stay out of it.
On this day, Li Yan rushed to Prince An's mansion early, and Prince Pu, who was following Tian Lingzi, had a serious face behind him. As soon as Wu entered the door, he pulled Li Ye to sit down, and before he even had time to drink tea, he said to Li Ye in a deep voice: Marry Princess Li!"
Li Ye was startled, he really hadn't heard of this matter: "Who is it?"
"Zhenwu Jiedu envoy Li Guochang's eldest son, Li Keyong!" Li Yan's words were very heavy, very resentful, and seemed to share the same hatred with Li Ye.
Li Keyong was the king of Jin who dominated the Three Jins and Zhu Wen after the fall of the Tang Dynasty. The two fought for decades. Finally, his son Li Cunxu defeated Zhu Wen's Back Liang and established the Later Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains.
Li Ke used this name, and Li Ye was familiar with it before time travel and rebirth, especially before time travel.
After the Huangchao Rebellion, Li Ye's ascension to the throne in the previous life was not held hostage by Zhu Wen from the very beginning, but belonged to the puppet emperor. Before that, he also sat in Chang'an, thought about revitalizing the Tang Dynasty, and had some civil and military strategies , but all strategies were destroyed because of the failure of the crusade against Li Keyong.
Li Ye fell into the hands of Zhu Wen in his previous life, and Li Keyong was actually the culprit, because he defeated the Shence Army and made Li Ye lose his last support to deter Zhu Wen and the princes of the world. Cao Cao, took the emperor to make the princes, and eventually replaced them.
"The imperial court examines officials from all over the world, and many officials from Zhenwu also came here. I saw Li Keyong when he entered Chang'an City, but I haven't heard about it before. Why did such a sudden change happen?" Li Ye frowned. Ask Li Yan.
"It's not Wei Baoheng's obstruction!" Li Yan gritted his teeth and said, looking at Tian Lingzi behind him, asking the other party to explain to Li Ye in detail-it's not that Li Yan is being lazy, but that there are twists and turns in it. It is very laborious to be clear, and Li Yan can't do it by himself.
Tian Lingzi bowed his hands to Li Ye, and then said in a eunuch's sharp voice, unhurriedly: "Some time ago, Wei Baoheng asked Kang Chengxun to go out of the town of Hedong. He is an idiot, not to mention he failed to do this, he was forced to leave the town, and what is even more bizarre is that he was assassinated and died on the way!"
"Kang Chengxun was assassinated, and Li Guochang was the most suspected, so no one dared to go out of the town of Hedong again, for fear of being dealt with by Li Guochang. Seeing that Li Guochang could not control it, Wei Baoheng was afraid that this incident would become a stain on his political affairs, so he sent someone to contact Li Guochang, privately Instead of making friends, and now Li Guochang doesn't want to tear himself apart from the imperial court, he agreed to Wei Baoheng in order to clear the suspicion of assassinating Kang Chengxun."
Speaking of this, Tian Lingzi paused, glanced at Li Ye, Li Ye nodded and said: "After losing Li Guanshu and Kang Chengxun, Wei Baoheng's wings have been greatly damaged, and now facing the combined forces of the prince and Lu Gong, he can no longer gain the upper hand , as the ruling prime minister, he naturally does not want to sit and wait for death."
"At this time, it is undoubtedly the best choice to expand the wings of the outer vassal town and let the strong vassal town follow its lead. Zhenwu is notoriously unruly, and he is also obedient to the imperial edict. If Wei Baoheng can To 'tame' Zhenwu and let Li Guochang obey him and the imperial court's orders, this is a great political achievement for Wei Baoheng, and his prestige has been greatly improved. This will change, and Wei Baoheng will be able to stabilize the pressure when he is in the court Wang Gong and Lu Gong together—Wei Baoheng's move can be said to be brilliant."
"His Royal Highness King An is indeed wise and unparalleled. When he heard about this, he immediately thought of the cause and effect." Tian Lingzi immediately flattered him, and then continued: "Wei Baoheng wants to form an alliance with Li Guochang, so naturally he needs to offer a reasonable price. It's not easy to be fooled, he formed an alliance with Wei Baoheng in order not to be suppressed by the imperial court, so that he can continue to grow and become the hero of the northern feudal town."
Li Ye nodded and said: "As the daughter of the clan, Princess Li has a very respectable status. In addition, she is very talented, so she can't be picky about her conditions. If Princess Li and Li Keyong get married, Zhenwu He has become a relative of the emperor, and his status has risen. In the future, Li Guochang will dominate the north. Who would dare to refuse? Even the three towns in Hebei must bow their heads and be human."
"That's the reason!" Tian Lingzi stomped his feet, not without regret, revealing the eunuch's femininity.
Li Ye frowned and said, "So, Concubine Wu has boarded Wei Baoheng's boat? Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to this matter. I remember, he was a fencer before, and he didn't form a party with anyone."
"That was in the past. Nowadays, the princes and Lu Gongs in the court are fighting with Wei Baoheng for power. There is no possibility for important officials to protect themselves wisely. They must stand in line! Wu Concubine has always been afraid of Wei Baoheng, and dare not disobey one or two, but Princess Li and Li Ke's matter was told by Wei Baoheng to the Holy Majesty, and it was also approved by the Holy Majesty - after all, it can solve the problem of Zhenwu's rebellion, and the Holy Majesty has no reason to disagree. Dare to say anything!" Tian Lingzi was indignant, as if someone had robbed his woman.
Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't bear the anger anymore, and gritted his teeth: "This Wu Hongshan is really cowardly to the extreme. He knows that Princess Li and Brother Ye are in love, and he also knows that Brother Ye is close to the prince, but he still dares to give up. For Wei Baoheng, she is willing to sacrifice Princess Li for her own power! Poor Princess Li, she is only twenty-eight years old!"
Li Ye fell silent.
For Wu Hongshan, daughters always have to marry, and it's just who they marry.
If she is really allowed to marry Zhenwu, he will actually benefit more than Wei Baoheng. After all, with an in-law like Li Guochang, no one will dare to blow their noses at him in the future. Excellent, he is a genius recognized by the world, marrying Wu You to him is not a bad treatment.
Seeing that Li Ye was silent, Li Yan couldn't help being anxious: "Brother Ye, this matter can't be left alone! Not to mention you and Princess Li are childhood sweethearts, if Princess Li is really married to Zhenwu, then Wei Baoheng will be in the court hall , is it still as stable as Mount Tai?"
Li Ye glanced at Li Yan.
"Who says it's not!" Tian Lingzi struck the knot with both hands, "Zhenwu is powerful and unruly, if he really stands with Wu Consort and Wei Baoheng, then Zhenwu's power will inevitably expand again, and the power of the town will be strong. This will affect the government and the country. Sheji, the danger is extremely serious... At that time, Anlu Mountain only became bigger after it became bigger... "
At this point, Tian Lingzi covered his mouth and didn't continue talking. It's not easy to mention the Anshi Rebellion casually.
Although Tian Lingzi is an eunuch, he has good knowledge.
Li Ye stood up: "It is said that Li Keyong is an immeasurable genius, and he is expected to successfully build a foundation and step into the realm of real people. I want to see what kind of person such a person is!"
