Kyoto, the Tang Dynasty of Jiangnan, Jinling City.

The buildings in the palace are lined up and rolling, the palace is magnificent, magnificent, exquisitely decorated and gorgeous corridors lead to the Duomen Palace.

In Chengxin Hall, Li Yu was working as a transshipment envoy to Runzhou this time. Gao Yuan, who had recently returned to Beijing, was talking to him. He was not interested in which royal merchant tributes he chose to travel to Runzhou. However, he sent Gao Yuan to Runzhou this time, and another purpose was to persuade Han Xizai to return to Beijing and resume his post and continue to serve the court. This is what Li Yu attaches importance to.

After all, Han Xizai was very famous. Among the scholars and powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, he was considered to be talented, capable, prestige and experience. The grandsons and centrists of the court respected Han Xizai very much.

Even Song Qiqiu, the Song Party, asked Han Xizai several times for calligraphy and paintings when he was alive, or asked him to write a complimentary article. However, Han Xizai was too lazy to pay attention to it, and finally he even took the pretext that the other party was "not smelly" and refused to write any words for him. This was a deeper relationship.

Li Yu sat on the dragon bench with golden nanmu, put down the pen and ink in his hand, looked at Gao Yuan, and asked, "Does Han Qing change his mind?"

Gao Yuan bowed and smiled and said, "Report to the official family, Mr. Han...he gave in."

"Oh, Han Qing finally stopped being angry. He planned to return to Jinling to resume his post?" Li Yu said in surprise.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Before leaving, Mr. Han did mention to his ministers that he had rested in Runzhou for nearly a year and had recovered from his state. He was worried about the affairs of the court. The anger of arguing with the censors and ministers at the time also disappeared. Moreover, the new currency policy implemented by the government two months ago was exactly what Mr. Han proposed, and it was considered to have completed his suggestions and plans at that time. Therefore, he planned to return to Beijing to become an official, continue to share his worries for His Majesty and assist the government in governing the government."

When Li Yu heard this, his face was immediately overjoyed, and a smile covered his face, and he was very excited.

From this we can see that Li Yu's conscience is not enough. As a king, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are often hang on his face, not knowing how to hide, his heart is soft, and his ears are softer. It is difficult to be close to wise ministers and distant villains, because he often cannot tell which side is right and which side is wrong.

After all, it is difficult to directly distinguish right from wrong in political struggles. Each side starts from a certain principle, confuses the public by serving the country, the people, the court, and the majesty's excuse. If a king does not have a certain view of the overall situation and the ability to judge right or wrong, it is easy to believe in treacherous and alienate wise ministers.

"By the way, Han Qing, do you want to continue to return to the Ministry of Revenue to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Gao Yuan hesitated and said, "Shilarious Minister Han mentioned that he was dismissed from the Ministry of Revenue and Wuyan continued to work. He also said that he had been the Minister of Revenue for many years and had done enough. This time he returned to Beijing to work at the Ministry of Personnel, responsible for the assessment, appointment and removal of officials and the selection of imperial examinations, and selecting pillars of the country."

"Go to the Ministry of Personnel?" Li Yu was shocked, but he didn't think much about it, because among the six ministries, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel are very important yamen, one concerns people's livelihood and the national treasury, and the other concerns the appointment and removal of officials. They are all core departments that the court attaches importance to. As for the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Personnel, it seems to be clearer. It is reasonable for Minister Han to choose this way.

"Yes, as long as Han Qing is willing to come back, in addition to appointing him as the Minister of Rites and being responsible for the tribute examination this year's autumn examination, I will appoint him as the Minister of the Secretariat and the Bachelor of the Qinzheng Palace to continue to entrust him to a higher level!"

Li Yu smiled and felt comfortable. He felt that having the old minister, the pillar of this country, coming back to assist him will be of great help to his reputation and to govern the government.

Gao Yuan was so happy when the official Li Yu was secretly proud. Once Han Xizai returned to the court, the Sun Party’s disadvantages could be reversed and the Song Party and the New Party’s game could be reversed.

When Gao Yuan left, Li Yu was in a good mood, so he got up to the bedroom of the Great Zhou Hou and Yaoguang Hall!

Zhou Ehuang, who was once unparalleled and beautiful, now looks haggard. She is lying on the bed with weak limbs and a low fever. The imperial physician has diagnosed and treated her many times, but she has not improved. She has not even figured out what the cause is.

Li Yu came to visit. Ehuang looked at her husband, showed a slightly bitter smile, and said, "Your Majesty seems to be happy about something?"

"Those who know me are the queen." Li Yu smiled, and then told him what Han Xizai promised to return to Beijing to become an official.

After hearing this, Ehuang looked at his husband with his eyes and nodded, "Mr. Han was an official in the three dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, and his descendants were all handsome. It is really rare to serve for the Tang Dynasty. Although Mr. Han is a little more arrogant and is naturally proud, he is indeed one of the few old ministers in the Tang Dynasty and the imperial court's Dinghai needle. With him, he will not cause any trouble."

Li Yu nodded and said, "I understand this. Han Xizai is famous and has a high reputation. He has long been wise. Even the late emperor praised him many times before his death. I should pay attention to this person!"

Seeing that the officials valued it, Ehuang felt relieved and expressed his other concerns: "Jianghuai officials formed the Song Party, and Jiangnan people formed a new Party. The two parties were close to each other and showed signs of integration. One party dominance is not conducive to the status and imperial power of the government. When Lord Han comes back, he can balance the situation of the court and stabilize the imperial power, which is also helpful."

"What the queen said is that I have considered this way." Li Yu nodded, and he had always admired the queen's views.

At this moment, the sound of light footsteps came from outside the house. A girl wearing a green and colorful dress ran into the hall happily. She held a book in her hand and shouted to the Dazhou Hou who was on the bed: "Sister, the first volume of the West Chamber is out. It is delivered from Runzhou Quick Horse. I have finished reading it in the morning and brought it to my sister immediately."

"The West Chamber?" Li Yu showed surprise. After all, he had been in the palace and had many state affairs. He could not know everything about the operas that were popular in Runzhou these days.

However, Zhou Jiamin lived outside the palace and had heard about it by the talented man and the vendors, so he sent his servants to Runzhou to wait. Once it was printed, he would buy it and send it to her for a while. Ehuang had heard about it before and heard about it.

After a sudden realization, Ehuang asked, "Oh, is it the talented opera of Su Yixuan?"

"Well, this is his legendary version, which is slightly different from the format of the opera essay book, but the story is the same, with beautiful writing and twists and turns, which is really beautiful."

Zhou Jiamin said as she stepped forward and smiled and handed the book to her sister.

Ehuang took it, turned a few pages, glanced a few casually, and was immediately attracted by the rhetoric and plot inside, and sighed: "It turns out that he is a rare talent in the world, and he doesn't have to do inferior poetry at all."

"That's right, he is now called the number one talented man in Jiangzuo by Runzhou." Zhou Jiamin couldn't help but show a bit of admiration on the way.

Li Yu sat next to the bed and listened to her sisters talking about another talented man. He, who has always been known for his talent, felt a little tasteful and felt a little melancholy and a feeling of loss.

Zhou Jiamin suddenly spoke, "Sister, after the Dragon Boat Festival, I plan to go back to Runzhou!"

Ehuang looked up and asked, "What are you doing when you go back to Runzhou?"

Zhou Jiamin said with a look of anticipation: "I heard that another new drama "Peony Pavilion" has been performed in Runzhou. I missed "The West Chamber" and must not miss the new drama. This is Su Yixuan's second opera. According to the Shangshang and Gongsheng who came from Runzhou, the Peony Pavilion is no worse than the West Chamber. I want to go back to watch the drama."
