Datang traitor

Qin Yuan was quite surprised that his wish came true so quickly.But since good things come, he must be ready to meet them.

When entering the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, first of all, you should get a decent set of new clothes to wear.Because he had no money left to buy new clothes, Qin Yuan took the [-] catties of sweet pears he saved yesterday to sell in the West Market, and set up a stall in the old place where the melons were sold.

It is early spring, even in the south, it is not yet the season for pears.Qin Yuan used the excuse that he stored pears in winter, and his family had a good way to store pears, but he only saved the twenty catties.The price was set at twenty cents a catty, and if they were all sold, it would be enough for him to buy an ordinary new set of clothes.

Twenty cents a catty of pears is not cheap, basically three times the price of meat, ordinary people are reluctant to buy such expensive things to eat.Fortunately, this is Chang'an City, a place where it is possible to meet nobles by raising your head.Because of the experience of selling melons at a high price last time, Qin Yuan strengthened his confidence, and within an hour or so of setting up a stall in the West Market, someone finally bought the pears.

Tomorrow is the face-to-face, so it must be too late for the tailor to make new clothes.Qin Yuan found a tailor shop that made ready-made clothes, and bought a ready-made silk satin dress that had been made long ago.

After the tailor waited on Qin Yuan to try on the clothes, his eyes lit up.He has made no less than a hundred sets of this style of clothes in the past few years, and it looks ordinary when ordinary people wear them.But after the clothes were worn on this gentleman, he looked extraordinary and personable, and looked so good that even he, a man, wanted to swallow his mouth.

The tailor took the initiative to express to Qin Yuan that he was willing to save another ten cents, provided that in the future, when someone asked Qin Yuan where his clothes were made, he would mention more about his own sewing shop.

Qin Yuan happily agreed, and after paying the money, he went home in this suit.Tall figure, handsome appearance, and fluttering clothes when walking, he looks like a fairy, attracting the eyes of many strangers.

Qin Yuan was already very hungry when he got home, so he immediately went to check the harvest of the farm. It was Chaotian pepper, which was slightly better than Reaper pepper.While eating, Qin Yuan comforted himself that he would see Li Shimin soon, and there would be many opportunities to improve the food in the future.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yuan was about to enter the palace to face the saint. After he was dressed, he stared quietly at the door of his house, because Li Yuanjing would send a carriage to pick him up.While waiting at the door, Qin Yuan checked today's farm harvest by the way, and it was still Chaotian pepper.

This shows that Li Shimin is not in a good mood right now. He is going to follow Li Yuanjing into the palace for an audience, and he is afraid that he will hit the gun.

While thinking about it, Li Yuanjing's carriage had arrived.

The carriage arrived in front of the Suzaku Gate of Taiji Palace, and the two got out of the carriage.

There was a carriage parked in front of Suzaku's gate, and a middle-aged man was standing in front of the carriage, wearing a poinsettia official robe, with an oval face, sword eyebrows and a high nose bridge, and a mustache and goatee. Qin Yuan and Li Yuanjing look this way.

Qin Yuan guessed that this person was probably Fang Xuanling.Although there was a post of Shangshuling in the early Tang Dynasty, there was no one to fill it. The left and right servants of Shangshu were in charge of the real power of Shangshuling, and they were in charge of Shangshusheng.Therefore, Zuo Pushe, the second-rank Shangshu, was the highest-ranking minister among the ministers in charge of real positions in the Tang Dynasty, and his status was equivalent to that of a prime minister.

Li Yuanjing became happy when he saw Fang Xuanling, and quickly introduced Qin Yuan to Fang Xuanling.

Qin Yuan greeted Fang Xuanling respectfully, his demeanor was calm and refined, and he didn't show much joy.

Fang Xuanling was not only surprised by Qin Yuan's appearance, but also surprised that Qin Yuan was born in the mountains, and he was so calm and calm, not surprised by favor or humiliation.Especially with Li Yuanjing who was overly excited beside him, it made him stand out even more.

Sure enough, he is a tall man.

Fang Xuanling knew that Qin Yuan was good, so he treated him more sincerely.Then he led Qin Yuan to Liangyi Hall to meet Li Shimin, and Li Yuanjing also accompanied him.

Li Shimin was writing quickly in the Hall of Liangyi, when he heard that the farmer who worshiped him had come, he put down his pen, raised his eyebrows and looked over.

His facial features are distinct, and he is unparalleled in handsomeness.Those slender and gentle phoenix eyes do not contain impurities, but they are a little bottomless.This person is three points more refined than a scholar, with a handsome appearance and a unique charm, he does not look like a vulgar farmer who cultivates the land.

"Are you really farming in the mountains?"

Qin Yuanying said, "In recent years, I have indeed lived in seclusion in the mountains, opened up wasteland and farmed fields, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain can confirm it."

This matter cannot be faked, besides, Fang Xuanling saw it with his own eyes, of course Li Shimin believed it.He was too surprised just now, so he couldn't help asking this question.

Li Shimin then asked about Bianzhou, learned that Qin Yuan could read and write, and asked about his life experience, taking the opportunity to secretly observe Qin Yuan's behavior. .

"Xuan Ling said that when he met you for the first time, you were praying 'My Emperor is happy' in the field, but why?" Because Qin Yuan's appearance and demeanor are not good, Li Shimin's suspicion increased.

Qin Yuan didn't react for a while, so he looked at Fang Xuanling.Fang Xuanling hurriedly explained the situation to him, Qin Yuanfang bowed his head in embarrassment when he recalled it.

At that time, he was not praying, but was aroused when he ate chili, so he was roaring with anger.

Li Shimin saw Qin Yuan's petty actions, but thought he was ashamed because his 'secret' was discovered.This shows that Fang Xuanling did not know about eavesdropping on his prayers, and there is no suspicion of 'deliberately doing it'.

Since this person sincerely prayed for his happiness, Li Shimin felt that he should be happy for it, so he immediately rewarded Qin Yuan with some silk and praised him for his loyalty.

But because Li Shimin was in a bad mood today, he had no intention of continuing the chat, and was about to dismiss them.At this time Li Yuanjing suddenly stood up and praised Qin Yuan several times, making Li Shimin suspicious again.

Li Yuanjing was still a child with a pure heart.Could it be that he was bewitched to recommend Qin Yuan so strongly?Judging from Qin Yuan's speech and behavior, he is indeed not an ordinary person. If he has a conspiracy, he will deliberately fool Li Yuanjing and attack him...

"Since King Zhao is so sure, you must be a good person, how about giving you an official?" Li Shimin still had a happy look on his face, even the veteran Fang Xuanling didn't notice it.

Qin Yuan knew that Li Shimin was not in a good mood today.When people are in a bad mood, they will think about everything badly, and they are willing to find some flaws and take the opportunity to vent their emotions.

So Qin Yuan was carefully savoring every word Li Shimin said just now.Li Shimin wanted to see him at the beginning, but he just wanted to see what the farmer who sincerely prayed for him to be happy looked like, and had a good time.He didn't expect that the people he saw were so different from what he imagined, and this made him suspicious.And Li Yuanjing's strong recommendation just now undoubtedly aggravated Li Shimin's suspicion.

If he wants this reward, he will definitely die soon after turning around.

Qin Yuan knelt down to thank him, and said frankly: "Caomin is just a villager, a vulgar and incompetent person who dare not take on this important task."

"Don't refuse, I see that you speak well and know a lot, so you will be fine." Li Shimin pretended to insist.

Li Yuanjing, who didn't know it, hurriedly comforted Qin Yuan to agree.Fang Xuanling followed suit, of course he hoped that the imperial court would attract more talented and insightful people.

"An official should share the worries of the sage and seek happiness for the people. I don't understand this at all. If you are an official and don't do it, you will be full of food all day long. How is it different from that pig and dog." Qin Yuan insisted on refusing.

Li Shimin laughed, the haze in his heart was swept away, and finally there was appreciation in his eyes looking at Qin Yuan.

"It's rare for you to see clearly. If so, I won't force you."

"It's rare for you to see clearly", this sentence made Fang Xuanling suddenly realize that Li Shimin's previous words were just probing.He has followed the saint for so many years, thinking he understands his temperament, and now he understands what it means to be with the king like a tiger.

After the three of them left the hall, Li Yuanjing, who had been holding back for a long time, blamed Qin Yuan for being cowardly just now, "The Holy One gave you such a good opportunity, why didn't you agree?"

Qin Yuan smiled and said that he really would not be an official.

Li Yuanjing couldn't help scolding him for being worthless, which made him useless to help.

Fang Xuanling coughed at the side, and after Li Yuanjing left, he explained to Qin Yuan: "Maybe we came at the wrong time today. Wei Gong entered the palace the night before yesterday, and I don't know what happened, which caused the saint to be in a bad mood. I heard that I still lost my temper in the harem. I thought I would be better today, but it seems... not good."

Qin Yuan did not expect Fang Xuanling to tell him this, and sincerely thanked Fang Xuanling for his recommendation.

Fang Xuanling liked Qin Yuan more and more, and always felt a bit regretful about meeting the saint this time, so he invited Qin Yuan to his house to have a reunion another day.

After Qin Yuan and Fang Xuanling parted, they went home alone.

The door opened as soon as it was pushed, Qin Yuan thought there was a thief in the house, and walked into the house with gentle steps, but saw Gu Qingqing shrinking under the table, shivering.

"What happened?" Qin Yuan noticed that Gu Qingqing's complexion was very bad.

"It's exactly the same, even the mole on the left lower jaw is in the same place..." Gu Qingqing muttered absently.

"What did you say?" Qin Yuan bent down and asked again.

"Hua Mudan, no, it's Yang Liuniang from Ruyifang. I went to see her again today, and she looks exactly like Hua Mudan!" Gu Qingqing looked at Qin Yuan in horror, and said with tears, "Where did you go just now? I, Aye, are not at home, and you are not at home, I am so scared!"

"Could it be that Hua Peony is not dead?" Qin Yuan helped Gu Qingqing out.

"Impossible!" Gu Qingqing said with her neck tightened, "I found Hua Mudan's body. It had been hanging on the beam for several days, and there was a smell. How could it be alive?"
