I haven't seen each other for several years, and when Du Anzhi stood in front of Du Shiyi, the two were almost the same in size. Because he is a brother, Du Anzhi is deeply influenced by Du Shiyi, at first glance, the two not only have imaginary appearances, but even their temperaments are somewhat similar, but because of their life experience, the former is a little more cautious in his words and deeds than Du Shiyi. It's just that when they met at this time, he completely put aside the prudence and caution that people would never forget, and after saluting, he rushed to Du Shiyi quickly, and shouted with surprise on his face.

"Brother"

From the nineteenth brother of the year to the elder brother of today, Du Anzhi has long regarded Du Shiyi as a brother-in-law, seeing Du Shiyi nodded with a smile, and pulled him into the seat, he was already very good at words in the past, he couldn't help but stammer, especially according to Du Shiyi's question, when he talked about the various things from the county test to the provincial test, he was so excited that he was incoherent. Even Chen Baoer, who had just talked with Du Anzhi for a long time and admired him very well-read and memorable, also didn't understand Du Anzhi's appearance.

"Don't worry, say it slowly, they are all people who are going to get married, in the future, in front of your lady, will it be possible to talk like this intermittently?" Du Shiyi quipped, and seeing that Du Anzhi's face turned crimson all of a sudden, he couldn't help but ask thoughtfully, "Why, it's really the old uncle who picked the right person for you." ”

"Yes......" Du Anzhi has been busy studying hard all these years, and it is too late, how can he pay attention to women, and he can't help but feel a little embarrassed when he mentions marriage at this moment, but he is even more spitting, "It's old...... Old uncle does ...... Call the shots. ”

"Which girl?"

"Yes, it's the Yuan family." Du Anzhi finally calmed down and made his debut with Pantuo, "There is still some kinship with Mrs. Yanguo, so it should be the same one." I haven't seen it, my uncle said that he was a stable character, but he lost his father when he was young, and he depended on his mother and brother for his life. Her brother grew up in the Ming Jing and the first year, and is now the county lieutenant of Dengfeng. ”

These prefectures and counties to which Gyeonggi Province belongs, let alone county orders, have always been in demand, and their subordinate officials are also first-class and in demand, and the Yuan brother can be the lieutenant of Dengfeng County, which shows that there are people who contribute when they enter the office. However, the official is not the highest, and Du Anzhi is still a good match, and there will be no worries about Qi Da in the future. So, Du Shiyi nodded with a smile and said: "That's good, after you marry a wife, let go of the foreign post, and you can justifiably divide it out and live alone, no longer have to be coerced by your parents, I can rest assured." ”

"But ......" Du Anzhi suddenly burst out two words, seeing Du Shiyi couldn't help frowning slightly, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Bao'er again, and then he said, "Originally, my wedding date was also set at the end of the year. ”

Du Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help hahadaxiao: "I thought you were just something, it turned out that this is not very good, double happiness is coming, please refer to the successive operations, and it will be lively when the time comes."

Hearing that his cousin didn't mind at all, Du Anzhi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the whole person was relaxed. When Du Shiyi introduced Chen Bao'er with a smile again, he nodded again and again: "I heard my sister say, my brother was looking for good talent and beauty when he was in Chengdu, and my brother didn't come back just now, I talked to Bao'er about the Spring and Autumn Period, but he turned out to be backwards, you know, he only studied with Brother Ah for less than three years."

"It's just that I can memorize, and I can't talk about it." Chen Baoer hurriedly interjected humbly, but was interrupted by Du Shiyi.

"He has a great memory, and he can read it even better than I did back then, so don't compare these rote things with him. His foundation is weaker than you back then, but he is also luckier than you were back then, because if I was free, I often mentioned it day and night, and later used him as a notebook to teach him a lot of things that he couldn't learn when he was studying.

Speaking of this, Du Shiyi pressed the handrail, stood up again, and said with a smile: "Gloomy, you are my younger brother, but you are also half a disciple of mine, the selection is imminent, no matter what the arrangement is, after all, you must be able to get into the eyes of the people, so don't embarrass me, embarrass the Du family Since you are back, Bao'er concentrates on studying, and you will do my work in the room." ”

"Yes, please rest assured, brother" Du Anzhi's face was flushed with excitement, and he agreed without giving up.

Although Princess Jinxian promised to haode, for the next few days, Du Shiyi didn't get the opportunity to meet the beautiful woman at all. The flood disaster last year has already caused many prefectures and counties in the north to suffer from floods, and this year's floods have not stopped, from rebuilding embankments to dredge rivers, to transferring disaster relief materials from the south of the Yangtze River, since the end of June, countless people in the six departments of the three provinces have been busy turning their backs, and even in the hottest time, there are several elderly officials who suffer from heat stroke.

Even when Li Longji, the Son of Heaven, gave ice in the summer, the weight of the princes and nobles was greatly reduced, and more of the weight was directly sent to the three provinces, especially Zhongshu Province.

According to the old practice, the Zhongshu House people are used by one person to serve the government affairs hall to know the system, and the rest of the people wait for the Shangshu Liucao, each knows the system, but since the Jingyun period, the knowledge of the system is not necessarily the Zhongshu Sheren, and now the position is held by the Ministry of Labor Lang Han Xiu, who is known for his outstanding literary talents, and the Zhongshu people in the Zhongshu Province are just to give him a hand.

Unfortunately, the nearly fifty-year-old Zhongshushe also did not survive the boiling heat wave and suffered from heat stroke, and Han Xiu was notoriously guilty of daring to admonish, and even Song Jing praised him, and few people could afford his hard temper, and the other Zhongshushe people were not willing to serve him, but the work of the political affairs hall could not be without an assistant, Li Yuan had no choice but to sweep around in the collection of missing outs, and finally pulled Du Shiyi to Han Xiu's name.

Han Xiu didn't say anything about such a right man who came to help, but he didn't care about it when it came to work. Overnight, the edict that has never been polished is thrown directly over, and sometimes it is necessary to check the piles of books left over from the past, and it is also thanks to Du Shiyi's good health, which originally only needed to work for half a day to become a full day, and there is almost no day off during the ten-month vacation, and the first thing is to fall asleep every day when he returns home with the stars, and the letters are to let Du Anzhi read him a rough idea, and then he dictates, and Du Anzhi considers the words and sends them out.

The only exception is Wang Rong's letter. But even if it is a letter from his sweetheart, he does not have much time to immerse himself in it, and his reply is often concise and to the point. Wang Rong also knew that he couldn't be busy, and even made someone quietly send his own hand-made sour plum drink and other various summer drinks, so that everyone in Zhongshu Province knew that Du Buque was able to be energetic all day long because there was a good cook at home who was good at regulating drinks, and even Li Yuan, the prime minister, once seriously considered whether to go to Du's house to dig such a chef.

Fortunately, the long summer finally has an end, and the raging floods will not always be stubborn, and at the end of August, this tense day finally came to an end, and the Zhongshu who originally gave Han Xiu a hand finally returned. When Du Shiyi said goodbye to Han Xiu when he left office, Ben was secretly relieved, but he didn't want the other party to change his previous stern and impersonal feelings, and he seemed quite kind.

"I've worked hard for you these days. I've always been in a hurry to work and don't care about it, few people can keep up with my rhythm, it's not easy for you to persevere to the end on this hot day. ”

Han Xiu said, while picking up the teapot and personally pouring a cup of tea for Du Shiyi, seeing that he was a little flattered and took it with both hands, he said: "Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there have been no less than twenty or thirty people who have served as Zhongshushe, but there are only so many people who know the system, from the original Su, Xu Jingxian, Qi Chao, Wang Qiu to me, plus Su Jin, Jia Zeng, Zhang Jiuling and others, in the past fifteen years, there are no more than ten people in total. You are brilliant and delicate, and after a few more terms of experience, it is very likely that you will take over the position of intellectual system in the future."

Han Xiu's earnest hope made Du Shiyi speechless for a while, but he had to thank him for his attention. To say that he has no interest in the position of intellectual, as the emperor's senior secretary, he knows too many things, and the probability of getting involved in high-level struggles is also greater, and he is used as a scapegoat if something goes wrong, this possibility is not to mention. Not to mention that there are almost no holidays regardless of cold or summer, which is the most unbearable for him. It's hard to be busy for a few months, and it's like this for several years in a row, this so-called holy family can't cover the longevity of the can't be folded, and most of the people in the middle of the book are the prime minister's personal henchmen, such as Miao Yanhe, who are still in the southwest and can't return.

Just when he returned to his original position as the right filler and started that kind of more idle life again, an urgent military report in early September made the entire Datang fall into a shock again.

Tubo captured Guazhou, and the Guazhou Thorn History and Hexi Longyou Jiedu made Wang Jun's father captured alive. After the Tubo people sent troops to Liangzhou, in front of the envoy Wang Jun of Longyoujie in Hexi, the two of them were tied in front of the battle to provoke him to send troops, seeing that Wang Jun did not dare to send troops, the Tubo soldiers and horses finally destroyed the city of Guazhou and temporarily retreated, and lost countless children and jade silk for a while. The only thing to be thankful for is that although the Tubo people sent a letter to the Turkic Viga Khan at the same time as attacking Guazhou, inviting him to join the army together, the Viga Khan not only sent envoys to pay tribute, but also sent the letter of the Tubo Zampu, which also made the government and the opposition all breathe a sigh of relief.

For example, Li Longji said to the three prime ministers in private: "If the Tibetan Turks are in collusion, not only the four towns of Anxi and the west of Longyou Hexi, but also Shuofang and Gyeonggi will be in danger."

Because of this, for the Turks who did not follow a piece of the Turks this time, Li Longji generously allocated the city of Xishou as a place to exchange markets with the Turks, and even promised to exchange 100,000 horses every year to trade in silk and silk. But to his surprise, the envoy who came to pay tribute, Melusi, proposed that half of the horses should be traded in silk and half in tea.

Since the Han Dynasty, most of the mutual markets of the northern tribes to the Central Plains have been settled with various precious metals and cloth and silk. After the initial shock, Li Longji immediately thought of a suitable candidate, and immediately instructed Li Yuan to let Du Shiyi talk.

And when Du Shiyi saw Mei Lusi, the other party smiled and said a sentence in Chinese that he was not very fluent in: "It is really an honor to meet Du Buque, who brought the fragrance of tea to the Turks."
