Chapter 147 Yishang of the Tang Dynasty

Li Daozong put away the treasure knife and gave it to the servant to take away. He deliberately walked to Chen Yan and said to her, "Yan'er, I gave you a 'sword of love', not to make you ruthless. In fact, emotions are like this sword. With a double edge, you can kill the enemy or hurt yourself. At the same time, emotions are also a great force in the world, and it is impossible to be overwhelming. How to grasp it, you need to weigh it by yourself. I just hope that you don't live in the memories of the past forever. The most important thing is to live a calm, brave and optimistic life in the face of today.

"Thank you for your teaching, Chen Yan always remembers it." Chen Yan answered softly and inadvertently glanced at Qin Mubai, and her heart was entangled.

In fact, Chen Yan heard the meaning of Li Daozong's words, which was undoubtedly to make her forget the dead Zhu Chengwen, start a new life, and try to contact other men. The sound outside the string is nothing more than to let Chen Yan think about the man "Qin Mubai", and he was just about to break the words.

Qin Mubai couldn't understand why Li Daozong said this in front of him. He is obviously a good thing about men and women who deliberately set up himself and Chen Yan, which can be easily seen from his gift of knives and swords. In his heart, Qin Mubai really likes Chen Yan, a kind of affectionate woman who is mature, smart and rational, but affectionate and righteous. However, at this moment, I'm afraid that only Zhu Chengwen occupies all of her heart. How can she get her own foothold for a while?

Qin Mubai has always believed that it is easy to rob women from other men, but it is much more difficult to replace another man from one woman's heart. Especially affectionate and righteous women like Chen Yan. This kind of woman, first of all, should be used to respect, not the kind of woman who is very young, and can be easily included in the account.

At this moment, although Qin Mubai has a good impression of Chen Yan, he is more respectful.

......

The three of them walked and chatted and went to the backyard. Just then, Chu Suiliang came to face, first saluted Li Daozong, and then said to Qin Mubai, "General Qin, I don't know when you are going to leave the prince?"

"Sir, are you in a hurry to leave?" Qin Mubai asked. I thought, it was really interesting that you wanted to say goodbye to the prince, but you insisted on me to say it. I'm not in a hurry. It's okay to stay in this royal palace for two more days.

Chu Suiliang had to say, "I just received a fast horse letter from the Jiangzhou government, saying that there are some urgent needs to be dealt with later."

"In this case, it is not easy for me to stay." Li Daozong said cheerfully, "Chu Suiliang and Qin Mubai, since you two are entrusted by the emperor, you should put national affairs first. I'm very happy that you can come. I have stayed with you for a few more days, but I don't dare to get in the way of your business.

Qin Mubai arched his hand and said, "Well, I have to leave!"

"Wait for me to send someone to prepare carriages for you!"

After a while, Qin Mubai and Chu Suiliang both boarded the car, said goodbye to Li Daozong, and went back to Jiangzhou. Li Daozong and Chen Yan saw each other off in person until they left the royal palace.

"Yan'er, don't you want to go back with Qin Mubai?" Li Daozong asked.

Chen Yan smiled slightly: "He has Chu Suiliang. Where do you put me?"

"You'd better not be too lonely." Li Daozong smiled and said earnestly, "I know you are jealous of evil, but there is no perfect person in the world. Everyone has his own shortcomings. To be tolerant and tolerant of others is to be kind to yourself. Especially when dealing with officials, I find that you have a particularly good opinion about them, even including me at the beginning. You should change this. In fact, there are still a lot of good officials in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise where did the balance come from?

"The prince's lesson is right. After experiencing the incident of Jiangzhou, my concept has changed a lot. Chen Yanxiu looked at the distance with deep eyebrows and said leisurely, "Maybe there are no absolute good or bad people in the world. Good people also make mistakes, and bad people sometimes find their conscience. People in the world can't help themselves; people in officialdom can't help themselves.

Li Daozong smiled slightly: "It was Qin Mubai who made you change."

"..." Chen Yan was slightly stunned, and her face inadvertently turned red. She smiled to hide her embarrassment and said, "He is a very strange person, which is different from what I have met before. So far, I don't know whether he is mostly a good person or more often like a bad person.

"There are no absolute good or bad people in the world, haha!" Li Daozong laughed and said, "How good this sentence is! - Remember it, Yan'er!"

Chen Yan looked at Li Daozong's back, showed a slightly gratified and grateful smile, and whispered, "I know, godfather... Why can I only call this name with my back to you?"

The carriage went all the way to the south and arrived at the state city in the evening. Chu Suiliang invited Qin Mubai to stay in the city for one night. He will travel again tomorrow, so that he can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Qin Mubai felt that he was not worried about military strength anyway, and it was a good thing to give him a face, so he readily agreed.

Chu Suiliang, the imperial envoy, temporarily took the position of the governor of Jiangzhou, and his office and residence were in the governor's mansion. When the two got off the carriage, Chu Suiliang hurried to deal with some urgent business, leaving Qin Mubai to rest in the guest room for a while and have dinner later.

It was indeed a little tired to run all the way. Qin Mubai took a shower and prepared to take a nap. Before I fully fell asleep, someone came to call me outside the door.

"Excuse me, do you dare to ask General Qin if he is asleep?"

"Who is it?"

"I am a government official under the command of Chu Fujun. He is ordered by the Fujun to send a message to the general."

Qin Mubai had to get up and open the door. He saw a green-robed official in his forties, standing at the door and bowing.

"Say it, what's the matter?"

"The governor specially invited the general to go, saying that there is an important business related to the general, and you need to listen to the general's opinions before you make a decision." The government official said.

"Jiangzhou's official business, is it related to me?" Qin Mubai was puzzled for a long time and said, "Wait a minute, I'll come."

After packing up his clothes, Qin Mubai came to the government office with the government official, and Chu Suiliang waited in the study.

"General Qin is here. It is not good to disturb the general's rest. But now I have a dilemma in my hand. I don't know how to decide. Please ask the general to break it for me. After saying that, Chu Suiliang smiled deeply and handed Qin Mubai a fold.

Qin Mubai opened the fold curiously and couldn't help but be happy.

A big businessman specially came to donate to the government to help the disaster after hearing about the flood disaster in Jiangzhou. There are really a lot of money and goods donated, including 10,000 copper coins, 50 cars of chestnut rice, 30,000 cold clothes, more than 7,000 sets of bedding, and more than 300 sheep to reward disaster relief officers.

These things are worth at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. At the beginning, the court allocated only 50,000 yuan to build the flood control dam in Jishan. It's rare for someone to be so generous, which is amazing!

But the man who took action made Qin Mubai laugh and cry - the inducible, Chang'an Wuzhao!

"What does the general think?" Chu Suiliang said with a smile.

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled bitterly. He threw the fold on the table: "What is she trying to do?"

"It's a good thing to contribute to the country and share your worries!" Chu Suiliang said with a smile, "Maybe it's also for you!"

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled and said, "She is deliberately creating momentum for herself for fear that others will not know that she is a big businessman. Mr. Chu, thank you for telling me the news. I don't know how you are going to make a decision?

"I also want to ask the general what he means." Chu Suiliang said, "At present, you and I are ordered by the emperor to do the job. If we accept this batch of money and goods, the favor will go to the emperor. If we don't accept it, it is bound to make Wu Zhao unhappy, and maybe there will be a misunderstanding about you. Therefore, I would like to ask the general to make a decision first, and then do my permission.

"Where is she? Have you ever seen her?" Qin Mubai asked.

"I live in a small building in Pingyao in the south of Jiangzhou." Chu Suiliang said, "I haven't met her yet, but I just accepted the discount first."

"Well, I'll meet her first, and then I'll make a place." Qin Mubai was about to leave. He thought for a moment and asked, "Cchu Suiliang, what if I receive this batch of money and grain?"

"If you do such a good deed, the court will be rewarded." Chu Suiliang said, "Generally speaking, at least the name of 'Great Tang righteous merchant' should be sealed. It will be more convenient to do business in the future. That status and identity are also different from that of ordinary businessmen.

"Thank you very much, I know. Then I'll meet her now and talk about it. Please send a local to guide me.

"Good."

Later, Chu Suiliang sent a small official to send Qin Mubai to Pingyao Xiaozhu in the south of the city to find Wu Mei Niang. Along the way, Qin Mubai was thinking, why did Wu Mei Niang suddenly come to Jiangzhou? More than two months ago, she left Chang'an and went to Bingzhou Wenshui's hometown... By the way! Bingzhou is not very far from Jiangzhou. Did she come directly from Bingzhou?

She came specially to help the disaster. It seems that she also intended to make her name and get rid of the identity of an ordinary businessman who is discriminated against... Wu Mei Niang, after all, is a person with a lofty heart. At a young age, she knows how to run a family. This move, which spares no effort, is really good. Winning fame for her martial arts family can also make a good impression on the emperor.

"I haven't seen her for many days, and I don't know how she is?" While thinking about it, Qin Mubai smiled at himself and said, "Will this guy only carry it with me as before? The matter between me and Princess Gaoyang has caused a lot of noise all over the city. I don't know how she will feel?

It didn't take long for the carriage to reach the south of the city. The little official pointed to a chic and elegant platform and said to Qin Mubai, "General, that's a small building in Pingyao, a place where rich and noble families or giant merchants like to settle down. It is a good place to relax and enjoy the beautiful songs and dances.
