Chapter 1709

Li Zhaode's family is full of high-ranking friends, who are either scholars or officials.

Li zhaodegao sat at the top of the table. This person offered a toast, and that person offered a toast. Wine and flattery entered each other's ears. Prime Minister Li was already drunk.

"Xianggong!"

Li Zhaode stroked his beard and took a pair of drunken eyes away from the dancing girls in the hall. He glanced at Yan Shansi, his good friend. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "ha ha, Lao Yan, you are not good at drinking. Are you happy today? Come on, sit next to me and let's have a drink together."

Yan Shansi is a right-handed man who collects and worships the relics. Although he is a close Minister of the emperor, his official position is not high. He is an admonitor, and he has little use in front of a powerful emperor like Wu Zetian. However, his talent and learning were very outstanding, he used allusions and learned a lot, so he had a good relationship with Li Zhaode.

Yan Shansi sat down beside Li Zhaode, but he was not busy drinking. Instead, he clung to his ears and whispered: "Xianggong, Shansi heard that the imperial censor station had created a murder in Lingnan, killing more than 300 women and children. They also told the emperor that there was a rumor in the south of the five ridges that "Liu was the one who took the place of martial arts", which caused the emperor's great fear

Li Zhaode put up his hand to stop him. With a sneer, he said, "it's needless to say that you are good at thinking. You already know."

After sipping his wine, Li Zhaode said in a hateful voice: "the Yushitai group have done the wrong and have lost their conscience. What they have done is really the common indignation of the people and the gods! The servant was furious when he heard about their evil deeds in Lingnan! But you don't have to worry. These cruel officials are full of evil. They are suing themselves. It depends on how long they will run wild if they fall down! "

Yan Shansi worried and said, "I'm afraid Lai Junchen will come back with such momentum. The emperor lived above the nine palace. It's up to others to tell us what the civil situation is like. The emperor has always been a bit alarmed about conspiracy. Now Wan Guojun's rendering of Lingnan seems to be full of anti thieves. It's hard to guarantee that the emperor won't use him again. "

Li Zhaode said with a proud smile, "so what? The Phoenix without hair is not as good as the chicken. Do you think today's Junchen still has the prestige of the past? Hum! The more unjust cases they create in all parts of the world, the more people's grievances they will have. It's just that they have come here to settle their grievances in Tongzhou. If he comes back, he'll be able to do it all by then

Yan Shansi frowned and said, "my husband should not be careless. I'm afraid he might play with fire."

Li Zhaode was a little unhappy and said, "I'll think about it myself."

Yan Shansi saw this. I had to keep my mouth shut.

Li Zhaode's residence is located in lidefang, which is surrounded by water. Yang Fan comes out of the Imperial City, goes northward along the Long embankment of the Luo river, turns a bridge and enters into lidefang.

Li Zhaode's mansion was rebuilt after he became the "chief writer", which is a huge one. The gate is wide and the momentum is extraordinary. Just enter the lidefang and ask a little. No, I don't know where Li Fu is.

On the way, Yang Fan was stopped by Princess Taiping. Although he still insisted on coming to Li's house, he was more calm and not as angry as the beginning. When he got to Li's house, he saw a lot of cars and horses parked in front of the door. Yang Fan didn't speak to anyone. He just tied the horse to the stake, stepped up the steps, grabbed the bronze ring of the animal's head, and knocked on the door.

"Tong Tong!"

Yang Fan knocked hard. After a few loud noises, someone behind the door cried out unhappily: "who is that! Can you afford to break our gate with such great strength? "

With the sound, the door opened and a very impatient face appeared. He looked up and down at Yang Fan. He was young and dressed in ordinary clothes. He didn't look like a powerful family. He looked even more arrogant. He lazily held out a hand and said, "take it!"

Yang Fan said in a deep voice, "what do you bring?"

The man would cover the door without saying a word. Yang Fan stretched out his hand and said, "what are you doing?"

The man glared and said, "you don't even have a post. Do you want to visit my house? This is the prime minister's residence. Do you think it's a small family? I don't even want to see my family even though I don't have a post. How unreasonable! Get out of here, or I'll send you to the Yamen to eat the board! "

Instead of anger, Yang Fan laughed and said, "the seven grade official in front of the prime minister's door, so it is. However, I'm the fifth grade official of the current Dynasty, and the division of the Ministry of punishment is normal. Your "seven grades" are not enough. Get out of the way! "

When Yang Fan pushed the door, the two doors opened. The door was pushed by the door and fell into a gourd. Yang Fan stepped in. The servants, bodyguards and grooms who were waiting in front of the door all looked silly.

"Come on, someone is breaking into the prime minister's residence. It's lawless..."

That door can't get up on the ground, just shouting, many servants in the prime minister's house rushed out after hearing the news, Yang Fanzhen said in a voice: "Yang Fan, the doctor of our criminal department, who dares to stop me if you want to see Li Xiang Then Yang Fan showed the tortoise's amulet.

The official's ID card was originally a fish amulet, but later I didn't know who came to Empress Wu to flatter her. He said that in the reign of Wu, the martial arts were Xuanwu, which was the tortoise of the four elephants. Therefore, the tortoise amulet should be cast instead of the fish amulet. At that time, the tortoise was still one of the four spirits. The legendary auspicious beast and divine beast were not swearing words. Therefore, the waist tag used by the official became the shape of a tortoise.The servants in the prime minister's house heard that he was an official of the Ministry of punishment, and saw that he showed a turtle amulet. They knew that his identity was not fake, and they didn't dare to stop him when they heard that he was so important. But they were afraid that if they let him in without permission, they would annoy a Lang, so they had to rush back to the house with him.

"Mr. Xiang, Wan Rongjing, a bowl of wine for you!"

In the flower Hall of the back house, some of the guests wrote poems, some grabbed the musical instruments from the musicians and played them. Some people drank happily and went to the hall singing and dancing with the dancers. A big man took the opportunity to hold the wine bowl and came to Li Zhaode, who was smiling.

His name is sun Wanrong. His dress and tone are the same as those of Han people, but he is a Khitan. In his early years, he entered the Tang Dynasty as a servant of the Khitan Dahe tribe. He lived in Chang'an and Luoyang for a long time, so he speaks Chinese very well.

Now he has become the leader of the Khitan Dahe clan. He was granted the title of youyujinwei general, guichengzhou governor and Yongle County Duke by the Tang Dynasty. He is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. This time, he came to Luoyang to pay tribute. After paying tribute, he paid a special visit to Li Zhaode. He wanted to do a good job under the prime minister's door and promote his official.

Sun Wanrong had been in the Central Plains for so many years. After he returned to the tribe and became the chief, he used the knowledge he had learned in the Central Plains to make the Dahe clan stronger and stronger. Now he has the strength to compete for the leader of Khitan tribe alliance.

Most of the chieftains of Khitan tribes have received official posts from the former Tang Dynasty or today's Dazhou emperor. The rank of the chieftains of all tribes is almost the same. If he can be promoted again, he will be more likely to defeat other tribal leaders and win the tribal alliance leader.

Khitan is a poor place. It is not as good as the black water and brown (Nuzhen) in the East, such as ginseng, mink, Dongzhu, and so on. It is not as good as the Turks and the western regions, such as various kinds of jewelry, gold and other products. In addition to paying tribute, in order to please Li Zhaode, he pieced together ten good horses, one hundred collar Shahu skin, a pair of golden belly and a pair of golden saddle from Korea, One hundred winter pearls are extorted from heishuimolu, and fifty ginseng plants have been extorted for hundreds of years.

Ginseng has been used for a long time in eastern and Western countries. It was mentioned in the bronze inscriptions of yin and Shang Dynasties. The things that could be cast on utensils at that time can be seen as important to people at that time. Ginseng was also listed as the top tonic in Shennong Baicao Jing, which was completed in the late Warring States period. Li Zhaode was old and didn't care much about his belongings, but these 50 old ginseng plants were very popular with him.

Seeing sun Wanrong holding up the wine bowl and looking at him eagerly, Li Zhaode understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing and said: "since you were the leader, Dahe's family has come to Korea every year and paid tribute every year. They are friendly with me. They are far more respectful than other tribes. They can set an example for their subordinates. The court should be commended. Don't worry about what you ask for. The prime minister will give advice to the sage. "

Sun Wanrong was overjoyed. He continued to thank him. He held up the wine bowl and said, "I wish you good health and longevity."

Li Zhaode laughed and picked up the fine porcelain wine cup. Just as he wanted to take a sip, he heard a loud noise. The dancers and guests who were singing and dancing in the hall stopped in surprise and looked around. Li Zhaode frowned, put down his glass unhappily, and said angrily, "what's the matter, panic?"

All the people in the hall showed one person standing in front of the hall, and many servants of the prime minister's office balked and did not dare to get close. Only one of them braved up and said: "a Lang, this man claims to be a doctor of the Ministry of punishment. He has a big deal to tell a Lang, so he can't be small enough to break in..."

Then Yang Fan arched his hand to him and said, "Prime Minister Li, I have something important to tell you. I'm in a hurry. Please forgive me for my rashness."

Although Li Zhaode was drunk, he was sober. Seeing that Yang Fan was standing upright in the hall, his anger was dim. He had already guessed why he came. Li Zhaode waved his hand and told his family, "you step down!" Then he got up slowly and said with a smile to all the guests, "you friends, enjoy your dinner. Don't spoil your interest. When Yang Lang comes here, he has something to discuss with his servant. He goes to his study and comes back to drink with his friends later. "

The guests of the prime minister's mansion suddenly regained their relaxed smile and bowed their hands one after another, flattering like a tide, saying: "the prime minister is still thinking about the affairs of the state today. What a model for all officials. You don't have to worry about me if you want to go

Li Zhaode arched his hands to the guests with a smile and walked out of the flower hall. Yang Fan didn't say much, just followed him. Li Zhaode led him away from the garden and into the study. As soon as he entered the study, his face suddenly changed and he clapped his case and yelled, "Yang Fan! You are so bold. You despise yourself and offend your boss again and again. Can't I cure you? "

Li Zhaode's anger didn't frighten Yang Fan. He stood there with a gun and said in a deep voice: "Li Xiang is drunk!"

Li Zhaode was stunned and said angrily, "what do you have to do with me if I'm drunk?"

In Yang Fan's eyes, there was a cloud of blood, and every word of it said: "drink human blood, will you be drunk?"
