Li Cangyu followed the eunuch envoy sent from the palace to Xingqing Palace.

Compared with the simplicity and magnificence of Tai Chi Palace and the magnificence of Daming Palace, Xingqing Palace, which is much smaller in area, seems more refined and elegant. Since Li Longji ascended the throne, he prefers to live in Xingqing Palace, which has gradually become the new political center of the empire.

Li Cangyu met the "Diligent Affairs Building" built in the early days of Li Longji's reign.

This place can be regarded as a symbol of Li Long's diligence and hard work in his early days. Back then, the young Emperor of the Tang Dynasty often came here before dawn and handled national affairs respectfully. The Tang Dynasty was able to enter an unprecedented glorious era, and the diligent government affairs building witnessed Li Longji's contribution.

Li Cangyu also saw the "Jiacheng" of Xingqing Palace, which is a special passage built by Li Longji for himself. It connects Xingqing Palace with Daming Palace and Qujiang Pond.

Li Longji, who entered his old age, was no longer as diligent as he was when he was young. Especially after having Yang Yuhuan, he rarely presided over the court meetings himself, but often took his beloved concubine to walk in the city, and traveled back and forth easily and leisurely, and enjoyed music, dance and love at dusk between the Liyuan of the Daming Palace and the Royal Garden of Qujiangchi, obsessed with enjoying music, dance and love at dusk.

The eunuch envoy took Li Cangyu and walked a long way in the palace and arrived at the entrance of the north gate of the Xingqing Palace. Li Cangyu looked up and saw that the name of the door was Yuelong Gate.

The eunuch also joked: "Many people will immediately gain a hundred times the value when entering and leaving this gate. Jinwulang, do you guess you will have such good luck today?"

Are fish leaping on the dragon gate? Li Cangyu smiled politely and did not speak out.

After passing Yuelong Gate, the eunuch took Li Cangyu to the Nanxun Palace, where Emperor Li Longji rested after the court meeting and met the ministers privately.

The eunuch asked Li Cangyu to wait for the marquis outside the hall to summon him, and he went in and informed him first.

Li Cangyu waited for a while and saw two people walking out of the hall. One of them was wearing a scarlet official robe, a fifth-rank or above official, and the other was wearing a purple official robe that only officials above the third-rank or above were wearing. He was super fat, at least two wide as the scarlet official.

Purple robe, huge fat?...Li Cangyu suddenly thought of An Lushan!

He subconsciously moved two steps to the corridor column next to him, avoiding the sight of both of them. Then he saw the official of the scalloped robe respectfully holding the fat man in purple robe and slowly walking down the steps of the palace.

"King Dongping, this step is a bit steep, please wait." The official in the breeze robe spoke in a humble tone.

Li Cangyu's guess was confirmed, and the prince of Dongwang is An Lushan!

The fat man An Lushan stretched out his right arm and asked the official of the scabby robe to support him, while his left hand was holding his super big belly that was about to droop to his knees, and walked down the steps step by step carefully. He was struggling and struggling, and Li Cangyu felt tired when he looked at him... How could humans be so fat?

"Censor Yang, you're really troubled." The fat man's voice was very rough and he said with a smile, "My body is really a hindrance!"

Censor Yang?...Li Cangyu was stunned. Could it be Yang Guozhong?

"Where, where." Censor Yang laughed, "The blessings of King Dongping are something that others can't even dream of!"

The fat man laughed, "This time I was able to serve as the governor of Hedong, thanks to the saint Yang's words for me in front of the saint! I will not see the kindness of Yang Jingshi!"

Li Cangyu frowned. An Lushan served as the governor of Hedong. In addition, Fan Yang and Pinglu, who were originally in his hands, he has been the governor of the Three Towns from now on.

Li Cangyu remembered a set of data. The total strength of the Tang Dynasty was 570,000, of which nearly 500,000 were distributed in the nine major military governors on the border. Now An Lushan occupied three military governors alone, and the total strength in his hand was no less than 200,000!

In contrast, in the capital, there are only more than 60,000 cavalry guards with fish eyes, and some corrupt and degenerate imperial guards. Compared with the troops that have been fighting in the frontier for many years, these shoddy troops are simply sheep and tigers. Not to mention An Lushan, even if any military governor raises up and fights the generals, the capital will be hard to resist!

Li Cangyu sighed in his heart. What exactly did Li Longji think? Where did he get the superhuman confidence? All the governors would not have a second heart?... It seems that the capital is really not a place to stay for a long time. I have to leave here early to go to the border town. Taking root in the army is the king!

Just as he was thinking about his head, Li Cangyu vaguely felt someone behind him. Suddenly he turned his head and saw a gorgeous figure suddenly disappearing at the corner covered by the woods, shrubs and grass.

Who is it?

A moment later, the eunuch who came in to report came out, and Li Cangyu came out.

"What are you doing here?" The eunuch looked at Li Cangyu strangely, "The saint called you to Danqiu for a visit. Remember to take off your sword and take off your boots and look at your eyes without squinting. Pay attention to etiquette and do not be reckless."

Danban usually refers to the place where the emperor meets ministers.

Li Cangyu nodded, "Okay, I understand."

When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, Li Cangyu handed over his sword and sat down and took off his boots, he saw a colorful carriage walking out of the left side of the palace.

Li Cangyu was slightly stunned. It looked like a carriage from Mrs. Guo State?...Why did she come out of that place? Could it be that she was peeping at me in the woods just now?

The car stopped when passing by An Lushan and the officials with a blu-robed robe. A woman walked out of the car and greeted them. It was indeed Lady Guo!

Ninety percent of the official in the blazing robe is Yang Guozhong!

"What are you looking at? Don't be slower!" The eunuch kept urging.

Li Cangyu stopped watching, took off his boots and tidied up his clothes and hats in front of the door, and followed the eunuch into the Danban.

There were two large screens built in Danban. Li Cangyu stopped outside the screen, and the eunuch walked in and informed him again.

Li Cangyu heard a man's laughter from inside.

"Haha, Chao Heng, your chess skills seem to have regressed!"

"Your Majesty, I have never been your opponent. I rarely win, so it's probably because Your Majesty intends to give in?"

Li Cangyu's heart lit up. Could it be that Abe Zhongma Lu is playing chess with Li Longji?

"Your Majesty, Jinwu travels to Li Cangyu, brings him." The eunuch came in and informed him.

"Well, ask him to come in!" Li Longji's voice sounded like he was not old, and he had a sense of being arrogant without anger.

"Xuan--Jinwu travels to Li Cangyu, Danqi meets you!"

Li Cangyu walked in, and a eunuch brought a cushion and placed it in the center of the Danmu. He glanced quickly and saw two people talking on the big imperial bed in the north of the Danmu. One of them was Abe Zhongmalu, who had seen earlier, and the other with gray hair and beards and wearing a Chu Huanglong robe, must be the current emperor Li Longji!

Li Cangyu knelt down on the cushion, "My minister Li Cangyu, pay homage to Your Majesty."

An ordinary farmer in the Tang Dynasty could call himself a minister when he met the emperor. If there were any major occasions such as informal dynasty meetings, usually the ministers would not be able to say long live the mountain when they came to meet the saint. Li Cangyu had carefully learned many details such as this.

"No gifts and equitable." Li Longji said, "Go ahead five steps and let me see."

"I obey the order."

Li Cangyu stood up and walked five steps forward. He looked at the steps of the emperor in front of Emperor Li Longji's imperial bed with his eyes honestly... This is the origin of the word "Your Majesty". When a minister faces the king, he must not look directly at the king, but can only look at the steps of the emperor.

"Haha!" Li Longji laughed twice, "It's not bad."

Li Cangyu muttered in his heart, what do these three words mean?

Abe Nakamaru also seemed to chuckled twice and said, "Your Majesty, I'm right? This Jingoro gave birth to a good look."

Only then did Li Cangyu realize that he was talking about my appearance... Could it be that Li Longji also belongs to the Appearance Association?

"Li Cangyu." Li Longji said, "I just learned that you had saved Mr. Chao's life. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

reward?

Li Cangyu felt bright. As General Li Xian said, today is a good thing!... But, appropriate shirks should be necessary!

So Li Cangyu bowed and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I have only done some things. I dare not be rewarded."

"Haha!" Li Longji smiled again, "Li Cangyu, you don't have to be too humble. Your name has been spread everywhere recently. Even in the deep palace, I know that you wrote a good word and became Zhang Changshi as your teacher. I have heard your poem "Why not bring Wu Gou" written by you, and I also know that you have solved two major cases of Brown. Especially the case of the murder of Japanese students, you solved it in just half a day, which is amazing!"

Abe Nakamaru spoke on the side, "Your Majesty, it's really amazing. This Jingoro is a rare talent!"

Li Cangyu was secretly happy in his heart. Abe Zhongma Lu is such a good comrade. It is worth my fault that I blocked that dart for you!

"Mr. Chao, then how should I reward this Jinwulang?" Li Longji asked.

Abe Nakamaru laughed, "Your Majesty, don't joke, how dare I escapist?"

"What's wrong with saying it?" Li Longji spoke in a relaxed tone, saying, "Since he saved your life, I want to hear your opinion."

Abe Zhongma Lu bowed and said seriously: "Your Majesty, in my foolish opinion, a young talent like Li Cangyu who is both literary and practical should have a suitable position to serve the Tang Dynasty and share the worries of the saints."

"You mean, be appointed as an official?"

"This... please decide."

Li Cangyu had a dongdong drum in his heart. It is a good thing to be appointed as an official, but don’t call me a “Hanlin Attendant”. Big bosses like Li Bai are all mediocre in this position and finally leave. I don’t want to be a royal idle person who plays with the emperor!

"Li Cangyu, then how about I let you enter the Hanlin Academy?"

Li Cangyu felt a little nervous and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I just entered the Jinwu Guard. I think that the position of Jinwu Youzi is very suitable for the Wei minister."

"Oh?" Li Longji's voice showed a hint of surprise, "In that case, don't you want to be a Hanlin attendant?"

"I... really don't want to!" Li Cangyu told the truth, and felt upset... I won't punish me for resisting the order, right?
