After visiting old friends, Wang Wei and Meng Haoran finalized their itinerary to Daizhou. Du Shiyi just left the Governor's Mansion from the ground and went to the Princess' Mansion to visit Princess Gu'an. Since the re-establishment of Yunzhou and the re-built city walls, the people and soldiers living in the city have approached the 10,000 mark. The settlements outside the city that were originally collected were also quietly released. The princess's Mansion, which was once known to everyone in Yunzhou, is now gradually becoming low-key and calm. Apart from the vermilion gate and the plaque of Gu'an Princess' Mansion given by the cinnabar pen on the gatehouse, there are only four guards on guard in front of the gate.

Although he had been away from Yunzhou for less than a year, Du Shiyi still felt like he had been away for a long time when he returned to his hometown. After recognizing him, the four guards at the door hurriedly informed him and sent someone to guide him. The moment he stepped into the backyard of the princess's mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Because the familiar woman who was greeting him with joy was now wearing military uniforms, and the dark bow on her hand didn't even have time to put it down.

"Sister, I'm back"

"You still know how to come back," Princess Gu'an angrily said, and when she stepped forward to hold Du Shiyi's arm and looked at the person, she realized that the big bow in her hand was too hindered, so she hurriedly handed it to Zhang Yao on the side. After all, she frowned slightly, "After all, Daizhou is not Yunzhou. You have no helpers, only young lady is by your side. Look, she has lost a lot of weight. Otherwise, she will find some ways to install a few more trusted officials in the Daizhou Governor's Office? If a state official cannot use his fingers to his subordinates as if he is an arm, there will be hidden dangers."

"Sister, don't worry so much. After all, I am the deputy governor of the Hedong Jiedushi. Now, whether it is the local aristocratic families or poor families in Daizhou, they are obedient to me. Even if there is a lip service among the officials, they dare not be too blatant, so there is no need to continue to touch them." Seeing that Princess Gu'an was still graceful, but the fish tail lines that could not be hidden were already exposed at the corner of her eyes, Du Shiyi couldn't help but change the subject, "Sister, after so many years, even Li Lusu has been driven off the throne of King Xi. Do you really have no plans..."

"Speak less nonsense"

Princess Gu'an suddenly turned her face and saw that Du Shiyi did not dare to mention it again. She just gave Zhang Yao a wink. Knowing that Zhang Yao was waiting for him to take care of him, she pulled Du Shiyi in with a smile. When she arrived at the door of the inner bedroom, she turned her head and looked at Du Shiyi and said, "Wang Lingran has expressed her admiration for me, but whether it is admiration or love, it cannot last forever, let alone, I am no longer able to have children? No matter which family, the elders' request is to last for a long time. I married me a princess who had married twice and who is now married to the Fan Xi tribe. But what about the future? So, brother, you don't have to mention this matter again from now on."

Seeing that Du Shiyi wanted to speak but stopped, Princess Gu'an chuckled again: "As for the kindness that I have raised from the past day and even Wei Shuren, I don't have the interest. What I like is the warrior who can leap on the horse and walk on the battlefield, a talented and arrogant person with a talented and elegant character, and a virtuous person who can praise the country and the people... In short, the kind of male favorite who cheats on just one face cannot catch my eyes."

"Okay, when I didn't say anything, I'll tell my young lady that I can't finish her entrustment."

Princess Gu'an saw Du Shiyi sighing helplessly, and she couldn't help laughing. When she was in front of the door, she personally tucked a curtain and asked Du Shiyi to go in. When she followed her in, she saw Du Shiyi looking at the huge place. She said lazily: "I don't like being too many people, and I don't like seeing those maids standing there like wooden ones, so most of the time, except for Zhang Yao, no one can enter this bedroom. You are a guest from afar, sit down and wait for a while, and I will cook tea myself. But I have something to say first, don't dislike my skills being inferior to you."

With this advance reminder, Du Shiyi took a sip of the bitter and astringent tea, even though his entire brows were completely twisted together, he could only smile bitterly and could not complain. Princess Gu'an drank the strong bitter tea as if nothing had happened, and a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, brother, your blessing, tea can be so popular for a while. The long night is long, with this bitter tea, it's not hard to bear. By the way, I have never congratulated you, General Wang digging his own grave, and his death will disappear. You will finally no longer have to worry about someone behind you eyeing you."

"Without me, Wang Maozhong's glory will only last for a while but not for a long time." When Du Shiyi heard the name Wang Maozhong again, he was very dull. Even he was surprised that he was so indifferent to such a person who had once had a great revenge on life and death. But after just a moment of pondering, he couldn't hold back what he said in his heart.

"Your Majesty is the most important thing to break the bridges across the river. The Tanglong coup and the civil and military officials who eliminated Princess Taiping in the next era, there are not many people left. Liu Youqiu, Wang Ju, and even Zhang Shuo were all demoted at the beginning of Kaiyuan. If Zhang Shuo had not been tough and could withstand adversity, he would probably not have been able to return to the day of worshiping the prime minister. As for the next two prime ministers Yao and Song, they would trust him when they needed it, even if they could tolerate the shortcomings. Once they felt that they were not needed, they would stop being able to calm the public anger."

Except for Wang Rong, he had revealed all these words to him, he had never revealed any of them, whether he was a close friend. Because this was a heart-broken word that would undoubtedly be attributed to resentment.

Although Princess was named and seemed to be extremely honored, Princess Gu'an had little favor to Li Longji, and when she heard Du Shiyi say this, she burst out laughing.

"I didn't expect that everyone would praise him. My brother, who is a famous minister of outstanding character, actually has such a view of Your Majesty. But since you know this, I'm afraid that you sometimes be too stubborn and disobey the will of the holy people, and sooner or later you will hate Your Majesty. To put it bluntly, His Majesty Taizong's so-called gracefulness was also for people to see, and he lost his temper in private in front of Queen Wende. It was Wei Zheng who achieved His Majesty Taizong's reputation for accepting advice, but wasn't His Majesty Taizong's reputation for unparalleled advice? After all, it was still a win-win situation."

Princess Gu'an took out the two words "Win" that Du Shiyi often said, as if no one else was around her. Seeing that Du Shiyi was stunned and smiled happily, she put away her smile for a moment and said, "My brother is unwilling to stay in the center of the court, and repeatedly seeks to be released from the prefectures and counties. It is probably because of his perception of His Majesty. However, in the world, is it the king's land, the shores of the land, or the king's ministers. For example, if I want to return to the Tang Dynasty, you have to work hard to find your efforts. Finally, I can't control the land of the northern six states forever. What are your plans for the future? Can you tell Sister?"

"Me?" Du Shiyi asked a word back, and suddenly laughed mockingly, but she fell silent. After a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you know, how did Yuwen Rong die?"

Princess Gu'an didn't know much about Yuwen Rong, only knew that she was once an ally of Du Shiyi and was proficient in financial planning, but she heard of some corruption and abuse of power in office. However, when Du Shiyi whispered about the various things about Yuwen Rong being demoted to Pinglewei of Zhaozhou and then Liuyanzhou during the past few days, she heard the hardships that Chibi had suffered when he was ordered to go with her, she unknowingly showed a solemn expression on her face.

"The fierce party struggle is heartbreaking. If you hadn't seen through the fact that Your Majesty wanted to teach Yu Wenrong a lot of lessons! Thoughts, why would others dare to be so blatant? Just discuss things, as long as I think about the ending like Yu Wenrong in the future, I would have the urge to resign and retire and not ask about the world."

However, before Princess Gu'an advised him, Du Shiyi shook his head and said, "Sister, don't persuade me, I just thought about it that way. Just like you said, all the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings and ministers in the shores of the land are the kings. The mountains and rural scenery that are retired are good, but in the prosperous times, they can live without worries. If a war breaks out, if there is not enough strength in your hands, they will only be crushed into powder."

Although there were many subjects who died in Tang during the Anshi Rebellion, there were also many who defected to An Lushan, including Zhang Shuo's son. As for Wang Wei, who was almost half-retired and famous all over the world, he was not also entangled in the chaos. Fortunately, his brother Wang Jin redeemed his official position, so he was spared from prosecution afterwards? On the contrary, Xue Song, the grandson of Xue Rengui, who was respectful, at least he lived a very comfortable life for his life.

Princess Gu'an did not ask what happened to the sudden outbreak of military disasters. She had always had an extraordinary trust in Du Shiyi. Therefore, after nodding slightly, she asked softly: "According to what you said, are you planning to continue to seek external responsibilities and accumulate the power of self-protection? However, it's not that my sister poured you cold water, there are people in the court who are easy to be an official, even if Your Majesty has always valued you, if you are always outside, once someone slanders, you still cannot protect yourself. This river and mountain world is the world of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is owned by Your Majesty. After all, there are very few who are as loyal as you and me."

"Sister" Du Shiyi saw Princess Gu'an looking at him without reservation, and he couldn't help but feel warm. He drank the cup of strong bitter tea in one go. After a long time, he spoke, "Sister, do you know, Li Linfu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"

Although he did not return to the court many times and stayed in the two capitals for a long time each time, Princess Gu'an still has a considerable understanding of the important figures in the court: "Is it Li Shilang? He was a royal family and started from Qianniu. Because of his cleverness and charm, and his in-laws, he was very trusted by the Yuan Prime Minister, so his official career was extremely smooth. Didn't Yuwen Rong once recommended him as the Chief Censor and referred to him as the same rank?"

"That's right, not only Yuwen Rong, but also Pei Guangting trusted him very much after he became the prime minister, so he could quickly get from the Censor Central Committee to the Minister of Justice, and from the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Personnel."

Seeing that Princess Gu'an nodded to express her understanding of these, Du Shiyi said word by word: "Before I set out from Daizhou, I received the news from Chang'an that someone promoted Zhang Jiuling's assassination of Yuwen Rong. Although Chibi said this to me, this matter is very important and I will definitely not promote it before I find out it. So after thinking about it, I am afraid that the greatest possibility of those who can do such things is Li Linfu."
