Hello Chang’an

At first, most of the court officials who were filled with indignation and vowed not to go to Taiyuan eventually followed suit, but they changed their rhetoric again and claimed to go to Taiyuan to see with their own eyes how Chang Suining would prove that he was of Li bloodline. How to deceive everyone in the world -

He looked like a righteous person who wanted to expose lies and ruin things.

Some of them also said: Don't think that if you hold the Taifu hostage, you can deceive the people. There is no way that the Taifu will help Zhou to torture and deceive the world!

Yes, they regarded Taifu's move to leave Luoyang first as a form of coercion and hostage.

Therefore, among the people, there are also some who have the intention to "go to Taiyuan to protect the Taifu" and make harsh words - if anything happens to the Taifu, Chang Suining will be the enemy of the world's literati. The pen in our hands There is no possibility of compromise!

These indignant and noisy words made Luo Guanlin upset. Then he thought about it and realized that he had been the same guy before. He couldn't help but feel even more annoyed, so he hurriedly sent everyone to Taiyuan.

Luo Guanlin never left, and Chang Suining also invited him in his letter to witness, but he weighed it and chose to stay in Luoyang.

Rather than witnessing the return ceremony, he preferred to guard the important place of Luoyang and arrange various affairs to ensure that the envoy's return ceremony could be completed smoothly.

On the day of the ceremony, he would drink a cup of wine by himself in Luoyang City and bear witness from afar.

In Taiyuan City, Dai Cong, who had received Cui Jing's explanation in advance, and the Cui clan members, had prepared everything and were just waiting for the people from Luoyang to arrive.

What surprised Dai Cong was that the first one to arrive in Taiyuan was the oldest Master Chu.

When Taifu Chu entered Taiyuan City for the first time, he came all the way outside the Governor's Mansion in Bingzhou. When he saw Dai Cong who was greeting him with a salute, he nodded and his first words were: "Where are your envoys? Have you come back from Yinshan Mountain?"

Just as Dai Cong was about to answer, a cheerful voice came from the door of the mansion: "Teacher!"

Taifu Chu looked up blankly, but he couldn't see anyone yet. Just the word "teacher" suddenly made a layer of tears well up in his eyes.

This light and cheerful teacher's voice finally reached his ears after two full lifetimes of life and death.

The figure looked longingly, and when he heard the sound, he moved to both sides. Taifu Chu's vision was covered with tears, a bit hazy, and he was afraid of looking strange. He did not dare to raise his hand to wipe the tears in his eyes, and just looked at the figure hazily. .

She is not on the battlefield and does not need to rush, so she dresses appropriately and comfortably. She wears a moon-white round-neck robe with wide sleeves and a light golden gauze outer layer.

The hair was not tied into a bun, but was **** with a jade hairpin. The tail of her hair fell down on her shoulders. The morning light brushed through the newly painted red door and collided with her body obliquely, reflecting a halo of light.

She quickly jumped over the red door, the corner of her robe quickly swept across the red lacquer threshold, her light steps carried undisguised joy, and she was almost running.

The wind blew away his tears, and Mrs. Chu slowly saw the person walking towards him clearly. Seeing her pace and demeanor, he wanted to say something: What is she like? People who want to do big things don't know how to be more prudent.

But when he saw the welcoming smiling face, saw her raising her hand to salute, and heard her call "teacher" again, Chu Taifu's throat was filled with sour joy, and he could hardly say anything, but he had to say one thing: "I don't remember when I became the envoy's teacher..."

With so many people watching and listening, does this unfortunate student have any sense of propriety? She wants him, a dusty old guy, to make up for her.

But I saw the unlucky student raised his face slightly, his smile still bright: "Teacher is the teacher of all people in the world, so it is natural for me to call him a teacher."

Chang Suining spoke righteously, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to help her. Cui Jing, who came forward immediately, bowed respectfully to Master Chu and shouted: "Teacher -"

Dai Cong raised his eyebrows. It was a little strange for one person to call him teacher, but for two people to call him together... it seemed a bit like a husband and a wife...

The next moment, another smiling "teacher" sounded. Seeing that it was Mr. Wei who spoke, Dai Cong's mood suddenly became subtle.

Looking at these three "good students" in front of him, Master Chu waved his hands: "I can't afford it!"

"Only the teacher can be worthy of the title." Chang Sui Ning smiled and refused to change her tune no matter what. She did many shameless things anyway. At this time, in order to curry favor with the master, she forced herself to be treated as a teacher. It fits her style very well.

As she spoke, she raised her hand to invite him, her face still full of smile: "Teacher, you have worked hard all the way, please come with me to talk."

Taifu Chu said "Hmm" in a good mood and walked with his hands behind his back.

Wei Shuyi raised his hand to support him: "Master, be careful of the steps."

The Grand Tutor stepped onto the stone steps and asked Wei Shuyi casually: "Did you come from Shuofang? Are your injuries healed?"

"Yes, Mr. Lao is concerned about him. Thanks to Chang Jie envoy's careful care for several months, Xiaguan's injury has recovered greatly." As Wei Shuyi spoke, he looked at Chang Sui Ning, who was one step ahead with a smile.

"..." Cui Jing was keenly aware that Wei Zigu was looking at him from the corner of his eye, and his motives seemed provocative.

The Taifu nodded and heard Chang Sui Ning say: "We have already prepared a place for the teacher. The teacher will go change clothes later and the food is also being prepared."

"Teacher likes to drink fish soup, and it happens to be the season for eating fish—"

"Teacher, you haven't traveled far for a long time. Are you feeling unwell during this trip?"

"Teacher, how many days did it take you to travel from Luoyang?"

“…”

Chang Sui Ning is a teacher who rarely gives others a chance to speak.

Moreover, the questions she asked were all trivial matters, and the words she used were extremely plain and simple. To Dai Cong's ears, it meant that there was no trace of political intentions. She really looked like an ordinary teacher and student... no, more than an ordinary teacher and student. It also needs to be much more cordial and daily.

And when he looked at it, there was no trace of politeness in the Changjie envoy's joy.

Looking at his Grand Governor again, I saw that this man also had a rare smile on his face, but Changjie's smile seemed to come from his heart, while the Grand Governor's smile was probably from Changjie's smile.

Before this, Chang Suining had not been able to call "teacher" for a long time, but now he finally had a legitimate reason and enough ability to do so, regardless of whether it would seem too silly.

Chang Suining had lunch with his teacher, and Cui Jing and Wei Shuyi were also accompanying him.

The two grandchildren of the Chu family were very flattered and overwhelmed by this. Under such current circumstances, even if Tathagata Buddha, the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, comes, the most they can receive is this kind of treatment, right?

But the grandfather sitting at the top looks really relaxed and calm. I can only say that my grandfather is worthy of being a grandfather.

After the meal, a disciple of the Cui family came over to deliver a message. Chang Suining said to the teacher, "I'll excuse you, student." and then went to take care of things.

Seeing her walking out, Mrs. Chu pointed at Wei Shuyi and called out: "It's windy outside. I'm afraid she will be busy until the evening. Someone will send her a cloak." It is said that the spring is covered with cold autumn, and there is a cold on the body. Those who are injured should be covered in spring.

Wei Shuyi responded "Yes" with a smile: "I'll go over there right now."

"No need, Prime Minister Wei is busy, so I won't bother with such small things." Cui Jing raised her hand to salute Taifu Chu: "Taifu, I'm going to send you my cloak and take my leave."

Wei Shuyi's smile faltered for a moment. After saluting the Taifu, he raised his heels and followed Cui Jing who was leaving: "...I can't think of anything to be busy with at the moment. Why don't you give me a reminder, Commander Cui?"

Looking at the two young figures leaving one after another, Mrs. Chu hissed softly. For a moment, he stroked his beard thoughtfully and said to himself: "Both of them are pretty good."

Chang Suining arranged for the Taifu to live in the Governor's Mansion. The Taifu was very satisfied with this arrangement.

After returning to his residence, Taifu walked around the small courtyard, looked at the paintings and calligraphy hanging in the room, and touched the wood used for the tables and chairs. Although there was nothing surprising, everything seemed to suit his liking.

When it was getting dark, the Grand Tutor asked someone to ask Chang Suining if she had eaten late. An hour later, he heard that she was still discussing matters with others, and asked someone to make her a tonic soup.

Hearing that she drank the tonic soup, the Taifu finally felt at ease. Just when he was about to take a rest, he heard someone outside passing a message saying: "Xuan Yangzi and Master Xuan Jingzi are asking for an audience."

The master listened and didn't recognize any of them. Normally, he would have been turned away directly, but the current Taifu was very different. He put on his clothes again and allowed the two of them to come in and talk.

Seeing the "Xuan Yangzi" who came in front, Master Chu was startled for a moment, and suddenly raised his gray eyebrows: "Oh, he's still alive."

Wujue smiled and saluted: "Yes, I have met Taifu."

"The poor Taoist thought that he would inevitably meet the Taifu. He was afraid that a sudden encounter would frighten the Taifu, so he came here to meet him so that you could be prepared." Wujue said in a respectful tone.

"You came here at such an hour and didn't even say hello. I'm not necessarily fully prepared." The Taifu snorted lightly and raised his finger to point at the dark sky outside the window. He saw the sky mirror coming in immediately, and was surprised. Said: "There is another one."

Tian Jing picked up the fly whisk and saluted, and said with a smile: "Master, it's been a long time."

"Prince and Master, please sit down and talk." The Tutor took the lead and continued the topic calmly: "Your envoy is a busy man, so why not let the two masters talk to me first about the return trip?" Zong Dadian’s arrangements—"

As soon as this sentence is uttered, there is a feeling of checking for school homework and filling in the gaps.

In my lifetime, there are not many opportunities to see the Taifu take the initiative to intervene in official affairs.

Just as Wu Jue was about to speak, the Tutor suddenly asked, "First of all, is her identity as the Li family true or false?"

When these words came out, Wujue Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment: He came here because he was not sure whether it was true or not?

The Taifu looked as usual - all she said in the letter was that she wanted to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan, and she wanted him as a teacher to testify, so wouldn't he just come?

Who knows if she did not dare to tell the truth in the letter in order to prevent it from being robbed midway?

Wujue came back to his senses, smiled and patted his chest: "Don't worry about this, it is guaranteed to be the orthodox bloodline of the old Li family."

The Taifu said "Oh", nodded and said, "That will be easier."

The Taifu didn't bother to ask, but once he took it seriously, he was very careful and thorough. Wujue and Tianjing stayed until late at night before they were able to escape.

The next day, Chang Suining came early to greet the teacher and had breakfast.

Also coming with him was A Dian, who came with He Wuhu from Jiangdu this time.

Chang Sui Ning originally wanted A Dian to stay with Chang Kuo in Jiangdu, but A Dian insisted on coming, and insisted that "it was Liu Huo who insisted on coming without eating or drinking" - yes, the old Liu Huo also came this time I came all the way to Taiyuan.

After breakfast, the eyes of the Chu family's grandchildren who were standing outside were about to pop out. They exchanged looks with each other. No one could believe that the old man chattering at the dinner table inside was their grandfather -

Grandfather hates people who talk a lot, but now he is chattering endlessly... Normally, they would never have the chance to hear their grandfather talk so much in a year!

The meal has come to an end, and Taifu Chu's nagging has also come to an end: "After you acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan, you can go back to Luoyang and do whatever you need to do. The war in the North will be left to the Cui family boys and their men... big things need to be done." People, don’t always behave like a little lamb who doesn’t grow up and always takes the lead in everything.”

Chang Suining put the last two mouthfuls of porridge into his mouth and responded vaguely.

Seeing that she didn't care, Mrs. Chu glared: "Are you listening?"

"Listen, listen..." Chang Suining put down his spoon and porridge bowl and interrupted the teacher's next words: "Teacher, you have a grain of rice on your beard."

Taifu Chu angrily said: "It's an old trick from hundreds of years ago, but you still want to use it to scare me!"

"No, Master...it really does!" A Dian poked half of his chin to indicate: "It's right here..."

Mrs. Chu then raised his hand to touch his beard, but he couldn't find anything after stroking around. When A Dian saw this, he couldn't help covering his mouth and started laughing.

"..." Mrs. Chu blew his beard and said angrily: "Okay, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. You taught me a good guard!"

Chang Suining and A Dian laughed together, and their laughter scared the birds on the branches outside the window to fly away.

Chang Suining brought A Dian to Mrs. Chu's place for breakfast three days in a row, and one day he even brought Cui Jing with him.

On the fourth day, the empress and the prince arrived in Taiyuan with all the ministers, and Dai Cong and Wei Shuyi went to greet them.

A group of officials were unhappy when they didn't see Chang Sui Ning coming to greet him, so one official signaled the prince to ask why Chang Sui Ning didn't come.

After receiving the looks from the ministers, Li Zhi rarely showed a calm expression and asked: "I dare to ask Wei Xiang, Dai Changshi, now that we have entered Taiyuan, should we immediately go to visit the envoy Changjie?"

Hearing this inquiry, the ministers almost fainted on the spot out of anger.

In vain, they thought that the prince had made great progress along the way and had lost his courage. They thought that the weak prince in the past had disappeared... but it had indeed disappeared. The person standing in front of them now seemed to be an even weaker prince. !

Moreover, he was so weak that he took it for granted, so he was more relaxed!

Dai Cong glanced at the empress's car, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be anxious. The return ceremony will be in three days, and Changjie Envoy will be seen by then."

The faces of all the officials changed several times. After a moment of shock, they were filled with suppressed anger and dissatisfaction - so Chang Sui Ning had no intention of meeting them before the ceremony? You don’t even plan to meet the emperor and the prince? Are you not going to try to "persuade" them to cooperate at all, but just want to hold a family reunion ceremony?

Are they determined that they dare not succumb to her power and expose her deceptive lies?

This woman's behavior and style... is really too arrogant! (End of chapter)
