The autumn wind blows outside.

There are four auspicious beast heaters in the study, distributed in the four corners, making the entire study as warm as spring.

The atmosphere among the Lixian family is also happy and harmonious.

The reason is naturally the upcoming Luoyang imperial edict.

While Ouyang Rong was drinking tea quietly, Li Xian explained the news in the secret letter in detail.

Empress Wei Zhao has already ordered that Li Xian still serve as the governor of Jiangnan and supervise the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha.

Jiang Governor Shi Ouyang Rong still serves as Lixian's deputy.

Moreover, he was given the official position of Jiangnan Supervisor Zuo Deputy Envoy, and he continued to have full power to "assist" Li Xian in building the new Donglin Buddha in Xingzifang.

As for Lin Cheng, he was appointed as the right deputy envoy of Jiangnan Supervisor and jointly assisted in the construction of the new Donglin Buddha.

Therefore, apart from the nominal Jiangnan Superintendent Li Xian, the real people in charge were Ouyang Rong and Lin Cheng.

However, in the Zhou Dynasty, the left side was larger than the right side, so Lin Cheng was lower than Ouyang Rong.

Belongs to Ouyang Rong's deputy.

In addition, Rong Zhen continued to serve as a supervisor to ensure the implementation of the empress' orders.

This is all arranged.

No wonder Li Xian just sounded happy and happy.

It is indeed true that the power structure in Xunyang City has hardly moved, except for Lin Cheng, the deputy envoy who has stepped in and is almost insignificant.

Since the beginning of the year, Ouyang Rong and Li Xian have relied on this set of boxing combinations to evade Wang Lengran's power as governor.

Of course, if one has to say that Lin Cheng's petition had some impact on the Donglin Giant Buddha, it must have had some impact.

The Empress Wei still favored Lin Cheng's "perfect plan".

However, he tried his best not to destroy the power structure in Xunyang City.

It's a compromise.

Li Xian and others seemed to have no objections.

Ouyang Rong looked around the study, his eyes scanning the faces of Li Xian, Wei Mei and others one by one.

He didn't speak.

There was no official statement.

The atmosphere in the room, which was originally relaxed and relaxed, suddenly fell silent.

The Li Xian family all lost their voices, and Shun Bo on the side carefully observed the strange atmosphere between his master and Mr. Ouyang.

Li Xian asked gently:

"Do you have anything... to say, Tanlang?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head and stood up:

"I understand, Prince Xinxin and the people from Luoyang are here."

Ouyang Rong turned to Xie Lingjiang who was about to speak but hesitated and said:

"Teacher, he has worked hard too."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

"Tan Lang."

Li Xian couldn't help but shout.

"What else does the prince have to explain?"

Li Xian smiled awkwardly and said:

"In this case, when we welcome the Luoyang envoy the day after tomorrow... Tanlang will also be present. After all, there is an imperial edict announced."

Ouyang Rong was quiet for a while, nodded and left.

Watching his slender figure disappear at the corner of the corridor, everyone in the study was surprisingly quiet.

The festive smile that had been on Li Xian's face slowly faded away.

Wei Mei also turned serious, reaching out to hold Li Xian's somewhat cold palm.

Li Dalang, who had been silent all this time, was sitting in the corner with his hand covering one eye, turning his head and looking at Li Bao'er with one eye:

"Mei, let's calm down the atmosphere as you said. It doesn't seem to be of any use. Tanlang still seems unhappy. His state makes me panic. The last time I saw him was in Longcheng."

Li Xian and Wei Mei, who had been extremely optimistic not long ago, both turned their heads and looked at Li Guo'er who had come up with the idea.

Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips and said:

"I'm just saying that Senior Brother doesn't accept this trick. It's useless to comfort yourself. Senior Brother values ​​​​practicality the most. The official position of Jiangnan Supervisor Zuo Deputy Envoy is nothing in the eyes of Senior Brother."

Li Xian rubbed his eyebrows:

"Then what else can we do? At least the Queen Mother's attitude towards us is not bad. It is already a blessing among misfortunes. But we must not have the situation like what Guo'er said last time... Niece Xian, Tanlang's side

, you have to comfort me well, well, it doesn’t seem to work for me to talk to Mei Niang..."

Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "Try your best, but in fact, the last thing senior brother needs is comfort."

Everyone sighed for a while.

Li Guo'er and Wei Mei turned their heads almost at the same time and told Li Dalang:

"You should also go over and give me some advice."

"good."

Li Dalang is as troublesome as garlic...

The next day.

The holiday was over, and Ouyang Rong went out on duty as usual.

When passing by Dongshi, Ali stopped his horse again and asked about the price of pork in Dongshi.

When he arrived at the Jiangzhou lobby, he met Lin Cheng, whom he hadn't seen for many days, standing next to Wang Lengran.

The two looked at each other in the air.

Lin Cheng did not forget to say hello to Ouyang Rong, but the latter ignored him and walked past him. Lin Cheng's expression did not change.

The reappearance of this person can already explain a lot of things.

The day passed quickly, and when duty was about to end in the afternoon, Ouyang Rong, who was passing by the officials' quarters, clearly felt that the officials at all levels in the Jiangzhou lobby began to whisper among themselves.

Yan Liulang looked solemn and came to report some news.

Sure enough, I don't know where it came from, some gossips about the empress' change of heart and the impending relocation of the Donglin Buddha are spreading rapidly.

Many officials had a heated discussion in private, which made people panic for a while. Some were solemn, some watched the excitement, and some just watched from the sidelines.

Ouyang Rong walked out of the door silently and headed home.

I met Li Dalang on the road.

"Is Your Majesty Tan Lang ready? Let's take a walk. Let's go to Yunshui Pavilion for a cup of tea."

"Are you going to Yunshui Pavilion for tea?"

Ouyang Rong turned around and asked.

Without waiting for Dalang to speak, he asked softly:

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

Li Dalang was a little embarrassed and covered his right eye, which was ringed with blue and purple, and coughed hard, but the stretched black eyelids could not hide the critical blow he had received.

"Don't ask, Tanlang. I fell down accidentally."

Ouyang Rong was silent for a while, then pursed his lips and said, "You deserve it. Will you go to Xingzifang Porridge Shack in the future?"

"..."

Li Dalang felt embarrassed for a while.

However, being teased by his friends, especially at this time, he had no grudge and was even ecstatic.

"Tan Lang, my father asked me to ask about meeting the Luoyang envoy tomorrow. How about we meet at the palace together in the morning..."

Ouyang Rong was noncommittal.

Li Dalang talked for a long time, and when he was about to get off the car at Huaiye Lane, Ouyang Rong nodded gently under Li Dalang's eager gaze.

"good."

Before getting off the car, he added another sentence: "Take ice cubes from the ice cellar and put it on your eyes."

"oh oh."

Li Dalang looked at his leaving figure and breathed a sigh of relief.
