Protectorate Mansion.

Li Dejian came in a hurry and was ushered into the study.

In the study, Xue Rengui was already waiting, He'er boiled water for everyone to make tea, the movements were skillful, soft as flowing water, pleasing to the eye, and Jia Youcai was sitting together, He'er poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Li Dejian, and smiled sweetly: "Lord Li, please use tea." ”

"Thank you!"

Li Dejian said politely, the woman that Qin Huaidao valued couldn't be held up even if she was a maid, so she immediately looked at Xue Rengui and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xue, everything is in your calculations, I am now unofficial and light, I hope your plan can succeed." ”

"Thank you Lord Li for your trust, the young master said that he would compensate you for a fourth-grade official position." Xue Rengui said with a smile.

"Forget about the loss, I'm not suitable to be a civil servant, I prefer to fight on the battlefield, as long as the plan is successful, everything is worth it." Li Dejian said nonchalantly.

Xue Rengui nodded, understood and appreciated Li Dejian a little more, and said with a smile: "The young master said that someone was hiding behind his back to calculate him, not revenge, but we blocked his way, the people behind him were rushing to the saint, we were just caught in the middle, today's court is a test, you can see clearly which people jumped out, and those who jumped out are opponents, and you can also see the attitude of the saint, since the saint gave up on you, that is, he gave up the young master, to say a big disrespectful word, we can't continue to block the sword for the saint." ”

Li Dejian cried and laughed silently, the truth was analyzed very thoroughly last time, but it was still difficult to accept that it really happened, in the final analysis, everything he did was for the court, for the sake of the saint, but he was abandoned, who really doesn't care?

Jia Youcai saw that Li Dejian was aggrieved in his heart, and sneered: "The saint would not be like this back then, and he also respected our master, but now that the master is not here, the young master has not made any meritorious contributions for the Li family, what is the result?" If you really want to maintain it, you can reveal it in a hurry, after all, it was night, the palace was locked, and Lord Li couldn't enter the palace to ask for instructions, even if he asked for instructions, he would delay time and miss the opportunity, and the saint's mind was different. ”

"That's it, it's not to do private things, it's still wrong to share worries for the court, it's okay if this official doesn't do it, it's better to come to our Protector's Mansion, anyway, Lord Li and the young master are like brothers, a family, help each other." Lotus laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not big or small." Jia Youcai glared at He'er.

"Oh." He'er quickly shut up.

"Master Li, don't get me wrong, He'er is young and ignorant." Jia Youcai hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, He'er is saying this for me as her own, and it will definitely not be so casual if you change someone." Li Dejian waved his hand, he didn't care, he was inexplicably a little moved in his heart, and asked, "He'er, if I come over, what can I do for my brother?" ”

"It's too much, the house is most lacking in this kind of talent, the transport team is going to Yangxian County to pull cement, the team is huge, no one is watching, we all have something to watch, we can't draw, if Lord Li comes to help, it's best." Ha'er said with a grin.

Li Dejian thought about it and promised: "It's okay, it's okay anyway, just come over and help for a month, you can go out for a walk, avoid some things, Brother Qin should come back in a month, when to leave." ”

"The sooner the better." He'er laughed and poured tea for Li Dejian again.

Li Dejian finished drinking tea, put down the cup and said, "Then I'll go back and prepare, go to Qinjiazhuang in the afternoon, and just find Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chi Baolin and Luo Zhang to drink." ”

Sending Li Dejian out of the door, the three of them laughed tacitly, and Xue Rengui sighed: "You are still powerful, and we will definitely not agree if we open our mouths." ”

"Hehe, if you can do it, you can do it well, with the help of Master Li, you won't have to worry about transportation." Lotus laughed.

"Steward Jia, then I'll go back to Qinjiazhuang." Xue Rengui looked at Jia Youcai.

"Wait a minute."

Jia Youcai shouted: "Do you know why Master Li didn't ask about the captive, the old man can't see through it?" ”

"It should be that I don't want to get too involved, after all, he is a person from the Weiguo Mansion, he can help, but he won't fall into it, send the transport team away in the afternoon, and I will go to Huxian County to find Luo Zhang in the evening to ask about the results of the interrogation, and also, what to do with the craftsmen brought out last night?" Xue Rengui asked rhetorically.

"Don't let it out yet, but it's useless to let them sue the royal court, the prince will push it clean, we can't get the evidence that the craftsman brought it out of the Prince Villa, if it is made public, it will instead put the house into passivity and be charged with trespassing in the Prince Villa, which is a big crime." Jia Youcai looked embarrassed.

Xue Rengui thought for a while and said: "I'll go back and have a good chat with them, explain the pros and cons clearly, and simply let them stay to help, they are all old craftsmen, and their craftsmanship is good, which is beneficial to us, but we have to bring their families into Qinjiazhuang secretly, otherwise they won't be at ease." ”

"This method is good, the old craftsman is very important to us, Qinjiazhuang is the most lacking, but we have to let them sign the deed of sale, so as not to be unreliable." Jia Youcai agreed.

"The young master doesn't like the deed of sale." Ha'er reminded.

"At the worst, you have to sign an employment document, you can't leave Qinjiazhuang during the employment period, and for safety reasons, you have to let them change their identity." Jia Youcai insisted.

Xue Rengui felt that it made sense, and promised to go in a hurry.

"He'er, Qinjiazhuang is stared at by Xue Rengui, and the house will be handed over to you, the young master requires all the goods in the house to expand production, you have to hurry, I'll keep an eye on a few decorations."

"Do you want to rebuild?" He'er was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's also what the young master meant, the barbecue bar, the shop and the Wanhualou all need to be repaired, fortunately, the distance is not far, I will run in three places, and send someone to find it." Jia Youcai hurriedly went.

He'er agreed, and he was busy.

……

Temple of Manna.

A cadre of important ministers came by order, and they all greeted each other, Li Er asked people to bring low stools, everyone sat in a circle, and did not speak, the facts of the early dynasty were too weird, and they were still lingering in everyone's minds, and they couldn't figure it out.

Li Er looked around and said directly: "Summoning all Aiqing over, there is a matter to discuss, Lord Qin asks for resignation and reward, the Tubo Metropolitan Protectorate needs someone to sit in charge, do you have anyone to propose?" ”

The governor of the capital is a feudal official, very sensitive, no one dares to nominate privately, Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who was in charge of the ministry, of course the eldest grandson Wuji has a candidate, but he can't tell what Li Er thinks, he doesn't dare to mention it randomly, pretends not to think about it, shakes his head, and looks thoughtful.

Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling thought about it, and shook his head and said: "Holy Lord, the minister knows too little about Tubo, it is difficult to judge who is suitable, it is better for the Holy Lord to be arbitrary." ”

Recommendation is a thankless errand, the recommendation is right, the saint is happy, but other people who want to go are unhappy, the recommendation is wrong, the saint is unhappy, and the left and right offend people.

Li Er didn't express his position immediately, and looked at Wei Zheng, Li Jing and other important ministers around him, they all shook their heads, knowing that everyone was avoiding, and smiled with satisfaction. ”

Liu Hongji, the Duke of Kui Guo, is also one of the first batch of old ministers, they are familiar with each other, credible, Fang Xuanling saw Li Er look over, and knew that he was not asking, but to express his own position, and immediately said: "The Duke of Kui Guogong has been stationed in the northern Hell Turks all the year round, and he is quite experienced in dealing with foreign affairs. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Er's nomination, and it was not a few names for everyone to discuss, only one person was mentioned, obviously had already decided, and hurriedly said: "The Turks are alien, and the Tibetans are also alien, the Turks are bitterly cold, and the Tibetans are also bitter cold, and there is not much difference between the two places. ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

Everyone is not stupid and agrees.

The candidate was decided in this way, Li Er was happy in his heart, looked at Tang Jian, the head of the household department, and said: "The cement road from Chang'an to Yangxian is about to be repaired, and the pedestrian will be free of charge in the future, but the vehicle needs to be charged, a total of 20 years, and the fee will be cancelled after 20 years. ”

"Obey." Tang Jian agreed, and an unnoticed light flashed in his eyes.

Li Er looked at Li Jing: "Pharmacist, about Li Dejian......

Li Jing hurriedly interrupted: "Shengshang, that's the dog's own fault, no one can complain, the court law cannot be abolished, this is the rule, otherwise the world will be in chaos." ”

Li Er originally wanted to ask Li Jing what the inside story was, but when he saw this scene, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, and he inexplicably felt that Li Jing was a little alienated and had a very strange feeling.

After a moment of silence, Li Er walked towards the East Palace uneasily.
