Chapter 171

Taking advantage of the rest time, he and Sun Simiao chatted a lot.

Knowing that this old fairy also came to Beijing under the imperial edict, Luo Yan prepared to go back with him.Although there is a suspicion of leg hugging, but if you invite Sun Simiao to your home, no matter how bad you are, you can let your teacher be close to the water.

The same people in their 70s, Lu Deming and Sun Simiao are equally hale and hearty.But this is talking about the mental state. When it comes to appearance, there is really a big difference.Master Lu's beard and hair are almost completely white, and his face has been washed out by the years.Unlike Sun Simiao, he is simply a child with white hair.

Anyway, they are all old people, and there are many common topics.By the way, show it to Lu Deming, if there is any hidden danger in the body, it can be treated early.

With this in mind, Luo Yan is not in a hurry.He simply led the horse and walked with the young man.We walked and chatted along the way, even ignoring the scorching sun.

This journey was a lot more comfortable, but when we got to the city of Chang'an, the sun was almost setting.Fortunately, they entered the city before closing the city gate, and there was no tragedy to spend the night outside the city.As soon as he entered the city, Luo Yan asked: "Does the real person have a place to live? If it's convenient, you might as well stay in the humble house. You can also ask the real person for advice."

Chatting with Luo Yan along the way was very speculative, and Sun Simiao did have a residence in Chang'an.Seeing Luo Yan's invitation at this time, he did not refuse, Sun Simiao asked Luo Yan to lead the way, and his master and servant followed behind.

After walking through eight or nine squares and making several detours, I finally arrived home.After knocking on the door a few times, the concierge opened the vermilion door a crack.He raised his eyes and saw that it was his master, he opened the door, saluted respectfully, and greeted him: "It turns out that the master is back." After saying this, seeing someone behind him, he also bowed.

Then he shouted at the door: "The master is back, hurry up and get some hot water and food prepared." The porter is calling a child, his youngest son, who has not yet left independently, so he always follows behind.This is just the time to come in handy.

The little guy jumped into the inner house, and then repeated his father's words several times at the top of his voice.The crisp voice caused quite a commotion in the silent evening.I saw that the inner house, which was still somewhat dark, was lit up with many candles for a while.And in the candlelight, I saw the servants coming and going to start their work.

With the lights on, Luo Yan asked the porter to lead the donkeys and horses to the stables to feed them.On the other hand, he led Sun Simiao's master and servant to the inner house.

After walking a few dozen steps, the butler came towards him, seeing Luo Yan's dusty appearance, he asked eagerly, "Why did you come in such a hurry, sir, why didn't you send someone to tell you in advance, I'll wait for you It’s best to prepare meals early. It’s better to have freshly boiled water, and the lord and the distinguished guests will take a bath first, and the kitchen in the back has already started cooking.”

After speaking, he took Luo Yan and Sun Simiao to the guest room.Being good at observing words and expressions, he has already seen that Luo Yan respects the elders in Taoist clothes behind him, so he briefly reported the situation and left Luo Yan with time.

After listening to the butler's words, Luo Yan knew that the guest room had been prepared in such a short period of time.At such a fast speed, Luo Yan watched with satisfaction and nodded to the housekeeper.

After Sun Simiao's master and servant were settled, Luo Yan returned to his room.After taking a bath, they changed into the clothes they had already prepared, invited Sun Simiao over for dinner, chatted for a while, and then went to sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, I got up, ate something hastily, and changed into my official uniform.After bidding farewell to Sun Simiao, Luo Yan went to Tai Chi Palace.Originally, I wanted to see Lu Deming, but I haven't seen him for several months, so it's not good to meet in a hurry.After meeting Li Shimin simply, there is a lot of time for the master and apprentice to talk.

Seeing Li Shimin at this moment needs to be reported to the guards of the palace gate. Fortunately, it is not the time for the court meeting, otherwise we will have to wait.

As a popular person in front of Li Shimin, although Luo Yan was demoted to be a sixth-rank county magistrate, Qianniuwei, the guard of the palace gate, did not dare to neglect him at all.Hearing Luo Yan explain the purpose of coming, just let him wait for a while, someone rushed to the inner palace to report the news.

While waiting, Luo Yan not only complained about the greatness of Tai Chi Palace.Li Shimin's words in the inner palace, plus the inner guards looking for someone, this coming and going, most of the time is less.But it's still early, so it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer.

As expected, almost half an hour later, Luo Yan's feet were sore, only then did the guards come to tell him that Li Shimin was waiting for him in the Ganlu Hall.

Generally, government affairs are handled here, and Li Shimin only goes to Chengqing Hall to rest when he is resting.Stretching your legs and feet, Luo Yan, led by the inner guard, walked a lot before arriving at the place.

After layers of notifications, they finally entered the palace.After looking around for a while, seeing that there were only Li Shimin and a few servants in the hall, Luo Yan bowed and bowed.

Hearing Luo Yan's voice, Li Shimin put down the memorial in his hand.After saying "Excuse me", he looked at Luo Yan with burning eyes.All of a sudden, Ganlu Hall became very quiet.

Luo Yan raised his head and saw Li Shimin staring at him like this, but didn't say a word.I couldn't help wondering, since I haven't done anything outrageous recently, Li Shimin came to him because he missed himself.Thinking of being missed by a big man, even though this man is the emperor, Luo Yan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Your Majesty thinks so, is it because I did something bad recently and was impeached again?" Anyway, I can't see anything at the moment, so why don't you just ask.Luo Yan couldn't bear Li Shimin's constant look at him that way.

"I'll give you a high official, should I?" Although Li Shimin tried his best to make a joke with Luo Yan, it could still be seen that Li Shimin was not in a good mood at this time.

"Your Majesty, can you tell me what kind of official you are?" Following Li Shimin's words, Luo Yan began to ask.Anyway, as an emperor, he must have a big heart.Even though he was in a bad mood at this time, but being able to joke with himself, he must also want to use this to open up the topic.Luo Yan didn't want to spoil the atmosphere.

"Youzhou Sima." Each word came out of Li Shimin's mouth, but Luo Yan was amused.That's right.Shangzhou Sima is not another name for the Minister of the Ministry of War, but an official under the fifth rank.He is also one level higher than the Lantian county magistrate in front of him. Fortunately, Li Shimin has the nerve to call him a senior official.

"Your Majesty, don't make jokes about me. Did I really do something bad recently? I must be dispatched to the bitter cold place of Youzhou to eat mutton." Luo Yan smiled with a stiff face.The conditions of the Youzhou government office are not very good, and it is the front line of fighting against the Turks, so it is definitely not a promotion for civil servants to go there.

The screen retreated left and right, and even the servants around him were driven out and ordered to close the doors and windows of the Ganlu Hall.Calling Luo Yan to him, Li Shimin said in great disappointment, "You were right. Wang Junkuo has a problem."

For a long time, Li Shimin had the greatest trust in Wang Junkuo.After Li Yuan's defeat, Wang Junkuo was conferred the title of General of the Zuo Leading Army and Governor of Youzhou.

From the second-rank civil servants and essay officials, to the third-rank military officials, Shiyi has reached the treatment of the Duke of the State.There were no more than ten civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty who received such treatment.Such Ron actually found out that he had been let down in the end. It is conceivable how much Li Shimin struggled in his heart when he was able to tell Luo Yan about this matter at this time.

After all, Luo Yan was the only one who questioned Wang Junkuo after the Li Yuan case.Now Youzhou Governor Shi Li Xuandao sent a report through a secret channel, detailing Wang Junkuo's various violations in Youzhou.After Li Shimin had seen it, he just called Fang Du and Changsun Wuji to have a secret discussion.

Then the three were given a gag order by Li Shimin.

"Prisoner, or die?" I knew that since Li Shimin called him here and returned him to a Sima, Luo Yanzhi might have another hard job this time.Therefore, without being hypocritical, I directly asked how to deal with Wang Junkuo.

In his mind, since Li Shimin called him here, he was given to Sima who was in charge of military affairs.Then even if Wang Junkuo is threatened, or even arrested directly.

After waving his hands, Li Shimin said, "It hasn't reached that level yet. Although he has done a lot of violations, they are all small things. As long as he is still loyal, there is no need to take action. This time, I just want to borrow You beat him, if he can stop early, then you will be transferred back at the end of this year."

Li Shimin drew a big cake to Luo Yan.State Sima, in charge of military affairs, undoubtedly has considerable real power.Although the grade is a little smaller, the power is undoubtedly greater.Moreover, if it is transferred back at the end of the year, it is estimated that it will jump several levels.

Knowing that Li Shimin and others had already discussed this, Luo Yan couldn't refuse.But the desired benefits are still indispensable.

"Your Majesty, the subject is gone, what about this Lantian?" Looking at Li Shimin eagerly, Luo Yan took this first benefit.

"The new county magistrate is recommended by you. If he passes the inspection by the Ministry of Officials, he will take office immediately." How could Li Shimin not know what Luo Yan was thinking, and Luo Yan is not the kind of person who is capable of forming a party for personal gain.Therefore, even if it is a county magistrate like Lantian County, Li Shimin did not hesitate to promise to go out.

Luo Yan has no other ambitions to give up, so he is very satisfied with the right to recommend.But I thought that if I left the capital, it would take half a year, so I thought about a few things to do before I left, so I said here: "Your Majesty, I have a few small things to deal with in Chang'an. Can't it be pushed to ten days later?"

The time for foreign officials to stay in Beijing is limited, and an emergency official like Luo Yan cannot afford to delay at all.After listening for ten days, Li Shimin frowned a little: "If you can't handle it yourself, you can leave it to the servants."

"Realist Sun Simiao came to Chang'an, and I would like to invite him to visit as my teacher, and to accompany him for a few days." Not hiding anything, Luo Yan replied very simply.

"Well, ten days is ten days." Li Shimin reluctantly agreed, but soon came back to his senses: "You said that Sun Zhenren has arrived in Chang'an?"
