Ang Lee asked about Yue 'er's residence. He wanted to know the background of Yue' er's family. 8 >
en8.
Hearing this, the steward smiled and said, "Young Master Li, that is the residence of the Great General."
"Great General? Which Great General?"
The steward looked around and said in a low voice, "The favorite of His Majesty, Gao Weng of the Minister of Internal Affairs."
"Gao Weng of the Minister of Internal Affairs" Ang Lee felt a little dizzy, but he seemed to think of someone. He paused and asked directly, "Just tell me his name."
The steward was stunned and looked around cautiously. He whispered in Ang Lee's ear, "Gao Weng's name is Gao Lishi. He is the most favored person of His Majesty. Young Master Li, you don't even know this."
"Gao Lishi. It's him."
Although he had a hunch, Ang Lee was still shocked by this result. Gao Lishi was a great eunuch. When did he become a Great General? Besides, who was Yue 'er? How could a eunuch have a daughter?
In fact, this was all Ang Lee's fault. He did not study history well enough in his previous life and watched too many TV dramas. Gao Lishi was a eunuch, but he was favored by Li Longji. He was successively named Yinqing Guanglu Daifu, Minister of Internal Affairs, Right Prison Guard General, Champion General, Cavalry General, and so on. Moreover, as a eunuch, he married the beautiful daughter of Lu Xuanwu. It was not difficult for him to adopt a son or daughter. People called him Great General Gao Weng as a compliment.
When the steward heard Ang Lee say Gao Lishi's name loudly, he was scared out of his wits. He looked around vigilantly. From this, it could be seen that Gao Lishi had a great influence in Chang 'an.
No wonder the deputy general of Tong Guan was so submissive to a servant, and no wonder the general of the Yulin guards was so respectful to a steward. It turned out that they were all Gao Lishi's people, and Gao Lishi was the most favored person by the emperor's side.
Ang Lee smiled gently and patted the steward's shoulder. "Don't be nervous. Gao Weng is accompanying His Majesty to bathe in the Hot Spring Palace. He won't hear it."
The steward was stunned and looked at Ang Lee in surprise: "Yes, yes, yes, Li Shaolang, then I will send people to the East Market to buy grain, rice, oil, and salt." After saying that, he turned around and went to prepare. _ _ _ _ >
Okay.
.
He was unfamiliar with the capital, and it was uncertain when Li Longji would summon him. Ang Lee felt that he should find Yan Zhenqing as soon as possible to familiarize himself with the basic situation in the capital.
He looked at Kun Xiong and Fei Yu and said softly, "Are you guys full? If you are, come with me to see Uncle Yan."
"We are full, Big Brother."
"Shou Yu, Guangcheng, Erniu, tell the brothers not to cause trouble."
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Ang Lee nodded gently and led Kun Xiong and Fei Yu to Yan Zhenqing's Longevity Square.
When they arrived at the street north of Longevity Square, Ang Lee met with a familiar group of people. This group of people was the tribute team led by Liu Luogu.
Liu Luogu looked at Ang Lee with eyes full of anger and fear. He wanted to kill Ang Lee, but he knew that he didn't have the strength. Moreover, this was the capital, not a place where he could behave atrociously.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, long time no see."
Ang Lee smiled faintly and greeted Liu Luogu.
Liu Luogu smiled insincerely and returned the greeting: "Good morning, Li Shaolang."
"I still have important matters to attend to. See you later."
Ang Lee urged the horse's belly and left.
Liu Luogu's eyes were full of hatred. He looked back at Ang Lee and the other two who were leaving and squeezed out: "Ang Lee, I won't let you have an easy time."
After calming down, Liu Luogu led his subordinates into Longevity Square and prepared to settle down first. Then, he would visit the residences of the various nobles.
Liu Luogu had brought four carriages full of rare treasures and a feathered beast to the capital. At this time, other than the feathered beast that had been eaten by Ang Lee, the remaining four carriages of treasures were still there.
Of these four carriages of treasures, only one carriage was for the Emperor. The other three carriages of treasures were for the nobles in the court so that these nobles would speak up for An Lushan. Okay.
.
In Yan Zhenqing's residence in Longevity Square, Imperial Censor Yan Zhenqing was leisurely at home. He was practicing calligraphy and painting in the main hall to cultivate his temperament.
"Alang, there's a young master outside who calls himself Ang Lee. He's here to see you."
Yan Zhenqing was stunned. He quickly threw down the brush in his hand and said happily: "You're fine, you're fine. Hahaha!" As he spoke, he strode out of the door.
"Ang Lee greets Uncle Yan."
"Li Kun Xiong and Li Feiyu greets Uncle Yan."
Yan Zhenqing didn't care about these pleasantries. He quickly grabbed Ang Lee's hand and said loudly: "You're fine, come in quickly. Treat this as your own home, haha!"
Ang Lee didn't stand on ceremony. He brought Kun Xiong and Fei Yu into Yan Zhenqing's residence.
Yan Zhenqing had Ang Lee sit down and praised him: "You're fine, Uncle knew you would come. I've seen the battle report that Military Envoy Zhang sent to the court. You're really good. In just a few days, you've made many contributions. In Uncle's opinion, your ability is far better than your father's. At that time, Uncle was wondering why Li Wu was so lucky to have such an outstanding son."
"Haha, Uncle is too kind. Ang Lee was just lucky. These small contributions aren't worth mentioning."
Li An waved his hand and said humbly in a soft voice.
Yan Zhenqing was even more satisfied, and teased: "Using a deceptive tactic to scare away more than ten thousand elite soldiers, saving Military Envoy Zhang, and then using three hundred warriors to defeat five thousand elite soldiers, killing General Li Tianlong, and finally using a hundred warriors to attack back and forth, annihilating nearly a thousand Fan soldiers without any losses. The children of the Fan soldiers stopped crying. Isn't this a great merit? His Majesty was very excited when he saw your results, and immediately gave an order to summon you."
Ang Lee smiled lightly: "Uncle, I wonder when His Majesty will summon me?"
"Don't worry, there's no hurry. You've already arrived in the capital. Do you still care about waiting a few more days? The end of the year is approaching, and His Majesty has to deal with more state affairs than usual. Moreover, King Cheng has just returned, and King Ning is seriously ill. His Majesty must be in a bad mood.
Yan Zhenqing analyzed softly, telling Ang Lee not to rush to see the Emperor.
Ang Lee was not in a hurry, he was just casually asking. Hearing Yan Zhenqing's words, he was no longer in a hurry to see the Emperor.
"Uncle, I've just arrived in the capital, so I don't know much about the situation in the capital. I hope Uncle can give me more advice."
Yan Zhenqing nodded lightly and introduced the various situations in the capital to Li An one by one. He also warned Li An about the things that could be done, the things that could not be done, and the things that should be avoided when encountering officials of the third rank and above.
Ang Lee carefully memorized Yan Zhenqing's words and asked some questions from time to time, and Yan Zhenqing answered all of them seriously.
Then they talked about the Crown Prince, and Yan Zhenqing said that he would arrange for him to meet the Crown Prince when he had time.
"It's fine. You don't have anything important to do in the courtyard. Tonight, accompany Uncle to Junyue Brothel in Peace Square. Uncle will take you to see the world."
Yan Zhenqing said seriously.
Ang Lee was stunned. Junyue Brothel, this was the name of a brothel. As a newcomer, Yan Zhenqing actually invited him to visit a brothel. This was too unbelievable.
At this time, Ang Lee was still a real young man. How could he give his first time to a prostitute so casually?
"Uncle, this is a brothel. I'd better not go."
Ang Lee pretended to be shy and refused.
Yan Zhenqing laughed and pointed at Ang Lee. "It's fine. Don't think too much. The girls in Junyue Brothel are all cultured talents. As long as you don't want to, no one will force you. Uncle will take you there to let you see the world and meet some people. Haha!"
Ang Lee heaved a sigh of relief and then asked, "Uncle, I don't know how to compose poems. I'm afraid I'll embarrass Uncle."
Ang Lee more or less knew about the Tang dynasty's literary gatherings. Drinking games and composing poems were very common, and he was most afraid of Tang dynasty poems. In his previous life, because he wrote a wrong word in an exam, he was often punished to copy a poem a hundred times, a hundred times, a hundred times. Even so, he only remembered a small number of Tang dynasty poems. It was very difficult for him to compete with the literati of this era.
Yan Zhenqing hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no. You made a great contribution in Yuzhou and can be considered a martial artist. No one will force you to compose poems. You only need to know how to drink and throw the pot. If someone forces you, Uncle will deal with them. Don't worry."
Ang Lee was relieved when he heard this. He cupped his fists and said, "Uncle, if that's the case, then I won't disturb you. I'll definitely go after dinner."
"Okay, go!"
Ang Lee cupped his fists and left with Kun Xiong and Fei Yu.
The moment he turned around, Ang Lee saw a girl in white passing by the end of the corridor and turning into the backyard.
Although he only saw the girl's back, Ang Lee was still mesmerized by the girl's walking posture and charm. He couldn't help but freeze on the spot.
"Big Brother, Big Brother."
Ang Lee was startled. He glanced in the direction the girl in white disappeared and walked out of the door.
After returning to Ling State, Ang Lee told Li Fei Shouyu and the others about his encounter with Liu Luogu and asked them to closely monitor Liu Luogu's every move.
From Liu Luogu's eyes, Ang Lee saw great resentment. Therefore, he had to take necessary precautions. In addition, Liu Luogu was the liaison officer that An Lushan placed in the Capital. Monitoring him would allow him to see through An Lushan's schemes and make it easier for him to react.
Money makes the world go round. In the evening, the meal at the Memorial Courtyard was exceptionally sumptuous. The manager's lips were brimming with a warm smile. The coldness and disdain from yesterday had disappeared without a trace.
Although it was against the rules to have so many people living in the Memorial Courtyard, it was still okay to have so many empty rooms. Since Ang Lee was Wang Zhongsi's nephew, it was better to do him a favor. Moreover, he could earn a small fortune from the food. Whether it was in terms of money or in terms of favors, it was a good deal.
The manager of the Memorial Courtyard was a smart person. He naturally understood when he had to stick to his principles and when he could be flexible. In a situation where both sides benefited, tacit understanding was the best choice.
