The road was bumpy, and more than 500 people from more than 20 Guanlong families finally returned to Chang'an, and they had completely lost their former arrogance and arrogance at this time, just like a group of refugees who failed to make a living in a distant place, and returned to their hometown.

The Guanlong family was originally called the Guanlong aristocracy, basically all of them were relatives of the emperor, and the Sui and Tang dynasties coexisted and coexisted, and their wealth and power were extremely huge, but their power was dependent on the imperial power and existed.

The Li family's imperial power has gradually become a puppet in the hands of the eunuchs, and the fat sheep of the Guanlong family can escape the butcher's knives of the eunuchs, but fortunately, they have the help of Guo Song and fled back to Chang'an.

After nearly two hundred years of reproduction, the branches and vines are scattered, each family is very large, scattered in Guanlong and Chang'an, when he followed the son of heaven Li Shi to Chengdu, they are the core of each family, and the first problem they encountered when they returned to Chang'an was their residence.

Basically, every family has a main house covering an area of more than ten acres in the city, and then there is a garden house on the side of Qujiang Pond, but Zhu Zhu can not return it to them to keep, Zhu Zhu called the emperor, and then confiscated all the houses and garden houses of the Guan Long family in Chang'an, but before they had time to distribute them to their generals, Zhu Zhu announced the relocation of the capital and left Chang'an in a panic.

However, the mansions of the Guanlong family in Luoyang, the eastern capital, were not so lucky, and they were all distributed by Zhu Zhu as an official residence to his generals and ministers.

Their house and garden house are empty, but there is a seal on it, and the seal has the big seal of Tiance Mansion, no one dares to tear off the seal and live in it, so they have to temporarily live in the mansion of other clansmen in Chang'an, waiting for the Jin Wangfu to give them an explanation.

There is an exception in the Guan Long family, that is, the Dugu family, the head of the family Dugu Qiu has a unique vision, and married his youngest daughter Dugu Youlan to Guo Song as his second wife, which makes today's Dugu family not only declined, but more prosperous.

Although it is not explicitly stated, everyone knows that the so-called senior counselors are the four Tai and the two divisions, Taishi, Taiwei, Taibao, Taifu, Situ, and Sikong, and Guo Song will also consult them for advice on some major decisions.

Dugu Mansion and Dugu Garden House are still living normally, without being sealed, Dugu Qiu has been recuperating in the Garden House because of his injury, and has only recently moved back to the main house in the city.

In the evening, Dou Yi and Zhao Guanshan came to visit Duduqiu, and old friends came to visit, Duduqiu did not put up a shelf, and personally greeted him outside the house.

"I am really overjoyed to see two old friends safe and sound in Chang'an!"

Dugu Qiu is happy from the bottom of his heart, they are not only old friends for decades, but also in-laws, in their twilight years, of course, they hope to see their old friends return safely.

Dou Yi asked with concern, "I heard that Brother Xian was injured, how is the injury?" ”

"It's alright! At my age, recovery is impossible, but with careful maintenance, the injury can be controlled. ”

"Is it a sword wound or a crossbow arrow wound?" Next to him, Zhao Guanshan asked.

"I was stabbed in the leg, but it was just a flesh wound, which had already healed, mainly because I was hit by an arrow in the lower back, which hurt my internal organs a little, so it was more serious."

"If you have an arrow wound, you really have to be careful, especially not to be angry, and especially to avoid it, these two things are the most likely to cause accidents."

Dugu Qiu nodded, "Thanks for the reminder, please!" We went in and sat down and talked. ”

"Please!"

The three of them walked into the door, came to the atrium VIP hall, sat down the guests, and asked the maid to serve tea alone.

"It's really thrilling to escape back this time, Brother Xian knows!" Dou Yi sighed.

Dugu Qiu smiled slightly: "I know everything, don't forget, my brother is coming back with you." ”

Dou Yi then remembered that Dugu Changqiu was on a boat with them, and he nodded and said, "Since Brother Xian knows, I won't talk about the process, but we all want to know, is Zhang Yun really arranged by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to pick us up?" ”

Dugu Qiu sighed and said: "Zhang Yun originally pretended to be the family of the Dugu family to come to Bashu, his task was to protect the property of the Dugu family and smoothly transfer it out of Bashu, after the task was completed, the eunuch rebellion broke out, and he was ordered to lurk, there is no specific task, it just depends on the situation, but he received your escape from Bashu, it is indeed the order of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, otherwise he will not act without authorization." ”

Dou Yi and Zhao Guanshan glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Guo Song ordered them to come back, then Guo Song would not ignore them in the end.

Dugu Qiu saw their expressions, and said with a smile: "What, are you worried that you don't have a place to live?" ”

Dou Yi sighed, "The mansion is only one aspect, and more importantly, we can't find the value of our existence, I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of Jin values about us?" The virtuous brother is his father-in-law, and he naturally values it, but what about us? In addition to our wealth, could it be that King Jin also took a fancy to our wealth? ”

Dugu Qiu felt Dou Yi's anxiety, he shook his head and said: "The so-called authorities are confused, you yourself think too much, too worried, since His Royal Highness the King of Jin sent someone to protect you back, then the Guanlong family must have the value of existence, and I don't want to say much about some things, but I can remind you that Li Tang can be established by the Guanlong nobles, to a certain extent, the Guanlong nobles can decide Li Tang's fate, and when it comes to this, you can experience it yourself." ”

Dou Yi was silent, he was savoring what Duqiu said, and Zhao Guanshan was a little more realistic, he hurriedly asked: "Regarding our mansion, can it be returned to us." ”

Du Isolated Qiu smiled, "Ling Lang Tengjiao has a good personal relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, will he occupy the Zhao family's mansion and not return it?" ”

"But ......"

Du Guqiu waved his hand, interrupting his doubts and said: "Because His Royal Highness the King of Jin is not in Chang'an, everyone doesn't know what to do for the time being, but I know, you can choose one of the garden house and the main house, tomorrow I will go and talk to Pan Liao, let him go home for everyone to settle down first, and then wait for His Royal Highness the King of Jin to come back." ”

........

Dou Yi returned to his brother Dou Yuanzhu's other house, which was located in Xuanyangfang, covering an area of only five acres, with a fake name, and was not confiscated by Zhu Zhu, and the Dou family temporarily lived here.

Dou Yi walked into the inner hall and sat down, Dou Yuanzhu hurriedly followed: "Brother, how is it, can the house be returned?" ”

Dou Yi took a sip of tea and said: "The house can be returned tomorrow, Dugu said, King Jin gave us two choices, either the main house or the garden house." ”

"Then we must have the main house, we can buy the land to build the garden house ourselves, but the main house is left by the ancestors, and we can't lose it."

"Zhao Guanshan also means this, I guess everyone will want the main house, not the garden house, but today's harvest is not just as simple as a house!"

Dou Yuanzhu solved the heart of the house, he was relaxed, and said with a smile: "Did my brother ask about the things he was most concerned about?" ”

Dou Yi nodded, "Dugu hinted at me, I understand, the reason why Guo Song values us is that one day in the future, we will support him to legally replace Li Tang." ”

After a pause, Dou Yi told again: "You have to remember that only you and I know about this matter, and you can't tell anyone else." ”

"But Zhao Guanshan is also ......."

Dou Yi sneered, "He, like you, only cares about the house, and he doesn't take Dugu's hint to heart at all." ”

.........

The next morning, Duqiu came to the palace of the king of Jin, as the name suggests, is the place where the staff is concentrated, but there is another name here, called the prefect building, which is equivalent to the prime minister's political hall.

Du Duqiu found Pan Liao in the Changshi Room, Pan Liao has been so busy in the past few days that the table is full of various documents, so that Gu Duqiu didn't find it when he appeared at the door.

He knocked on the door and reminded in a low voice: "Long history! ”

Pan Liao raised his head, only then did he see Dugu Qiu, and hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Dugu Senior Minister is here, rude!" Faux pas! ”

"The old man didn't bother Changshi!"

"Nope! No! Senior Minister, please be seated. ”

Pan Liao asked Duqiu to sit down, and asked people to serve tea.

Du Gu Qiu smiled: "Since Changshi is very busy, I'll just get down to business!" That's the case, yesterday more than 500 people from more than 20 Guanlong families returned to Chang'an, but their mansions were all closed, with seals on the gates, and soldiers guarding the doors, they didn't know what the attitude of the Jin Wangfu was, they were very worried, and they came to me last night. ”

Pan Liao smiled, "Please tell them not to worry too much, the closure and soldiers standing guard are just afraid that someone will go in and destroy it, in fact, it is to protect the mansion, there is no other meaning, although their mansion was expropriated by the government, but it was done by Zhu Jun, we just took it over, and did not use it for other purposes." ”

"In that case, is it okay for them to move in?"

Pan Liao groaned and said: "The main thing is that I didn't receive instructions from His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and the senior minister should also know that although the White Tiger Hall, the mansion of various mansions in Chang'an, has been assigned to the management of the Zhizheng Building, it is only for management, I can remove the seal and withdraw the soldiers, but I have no right to decide whether they can move in, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin happens to be not in Chang'an." ”

"I know about this matter, His Royal Highness the King of Jin told me that they can choose one of the garden house and the main house, and they all unanimously choose the main house and give up the garden house outside the city."

Pan Liao pondered for a moment, after all, the King of Jin still needed to entrap the Guanlong family, and there was no need to embarrass them in such a trivial matter, causing the King of Jin's painstaking efforts to save them from Shu to be wasted.

Thinking of this, Pan Liao smiled and said, "Since His Royal Highness the King of Jin has said it to the senior minister, then I will dare to be the master once and allow them to move into the main house." ”

Dugu Qiu smiled, "Changshi, don't worry!" If His Highness asks, I will take all the responsibility. ”
