"Your Majesty, no, this is raising -"
In his desperation, Wei Zheng almost blurted out the words "raising tigers is a danger" on the spot.
Changsun Wuji glanced at him and ignored him, just looking straight at Li Shimin. He knew his brother-in-law's character too well.
Therefore, he believed that his brother-in-law would make the most rational decision.
Looking at his eldest grandson Wuji who looked at him calmly, Li Shimin pondered for a long time and nodded slightly.
He naturally knows the truth behind raising tigers.
But if he had to choose between a pack of wolves and a tiger, he would choose the tiger. No matter how fierce the tiger is, it is still just one.
Especially when he thought the tiger was doing its best to show its loyalty.
During this period, his eldest son's family almost turned against the Guanlong Family Group in order to support him. Naturally, he saw it all and remembered it in his heart.
"Strictly control it and prevent it from flowing outside the customs——"
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji with a serious expression.
Changsun Wuji stood up and bowed solemnly.
"I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"
Seeing this, Wei Zheng and Tang Jian couldn't help but look at each other, and unusually they did not forcefully remonstrate. They also know this matter. Although there are some consequences, so far, there is no better way than this.
"But this method won't last long -"
Tang Jian still couldn't help but feel worried.
"It won't take long--"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.
"Zian said that there is a large amount of iron ore in Mobei. I have secretly sent people to investigate, and there is basically no big deviation. Moreover, there is a high-quality iron ore with large reserves. I have sent Huo Guogong and British Duke to garrison Mining is carried out secretly in the name of..."
Having said this, Li Shimin waved his hands with a relaxed expression.
"At that time, all problems will be solved naturally——"
When Wei Zheng and Tang Jian heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. If the imperial court holds a large amount of iron ore in its own hands, it will naturally have no worries.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel tense, and he also showed a look of surprise.
"In this way, I will no longer have to worry about anything..."
problem solved.
The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became much more relaxed and cheerful. At this time, after a lot of hard work by the palace maids and chamberlains, the imperial garden had been dug into a mess.
Your Majesty, you are serious!
Wei Zheng looked around at the unrecognizable imperial garden and couldn't help but look at Li Shimin with admiration.
The true Lord!
"Your Majesty, as the supreme emperor and for the sake of the people of the world, has actually suffered to such an extent that even planting some flowers and plants feels like a sin. It really makes me feel ashamed -"
With that said, Wei Zheng stood up.
"Stop talking, Wei Chen will go home right now, clear out all the messy flowers and plants in the yard, and plant fruits, vegetables, millet, rice, wheat and other grains!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but hesitated slightly.
"Ah, this - Xuancheng, you don't have to..."
"No, Your Majesty, please stop trying to persuade me. I have made up my mind - I have been given great importance by Your Majesty and given the post of Secretary and Supervisor. I am ranked among the prime ministers. I am unable to repay the kindness of your Majesty. I am unable to appease the people and relieve the people from hanging upside down. I am already so ashamed that I can’t even emulate His Majesty’s example, then I will be even more shameless in front of others!”
Having said this, Wei Zheng bowed his hand to Li Shimin with a determined look on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to dig out—"
After saying that, he strode away with firm steps.
Li Shimin:...
"Ah, this - Xuancheng..."
Wei Zheng walked very quickly, and Li Shimin raised his arms, unable to reach him in time.
Seeing Wei Zheng walk out of the imperial garden gate without looking back, he could only put down his arms and shook his head in confusion.
I don’t know if this stubborn old man will go berserk on the spot after knowing the truth.
"Your Majesty, please stop trying to persuade me. As a king, you can do this for the sake of the people of the world. How can we, the ministers, content ourselves with enjoying ourselves and turn a blind eye?"
Tang Jian also walked away and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.
"Wei Chen also went -"
With that said, he strode away with a firm look on his face.
Where is the famous king of the ages!
Our old Tang did not follow the wrong person!
When Tang Jian left, he was very moved. Especially when he saw that many flowers and plants that were rarely seen outside were dug out, he was even more moved inside.
Since ancient times, we have only heard of kings building large-scale construction projects. How about the king who destroyed his royal garden and wanted to plant grain and vegetables in the royal garden?
Yes, since the Tang Dynasty; Yes, since your Majesty!
No matter what, I’ll dig it right away when I get home!
Changsun Wuji:...
Looking at the backs of Wei Zheng and Tang Jian, Changsun Wuji felt all kinds of shit beyond words.
You two poor guys, let's mix it up first.
He really wanted to rush up, grab them by the collar, and yell.
"Wake up, man, you are poor people, poor people, you don't have a back garden -"
But, in this situation, he couldn't and didn't dare.
What else can be done?
"Your Majesty is a sage and a wise king who has never been seen in the ages. Today's move will definitely leave a mark in history and become a good story. I am willing to imitate him even if I am not talented!"
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, his heart and liver ached.
The back garden of my house has been managed by the Changsun family for generations. Although it is not as large as your Majesty's imperial garden, some of the rare species in it are probably even greater...
Looking at Changsun Wuji with a determined look on his face.
Li Shimin didn't even know what to say.
Ah, this——
I am also very helpless.
However, he couldn't explain this scene at this time. He let out a long sigh with some resignation, and silently patted Changsun Wuji on the shoulder.
"Brother Auxiliary Machine, it's actually not necessary -"
"No, Your Majesty, I have made up my mind, please don't try to persuade me!"
Changsun Wuji also strode away.
Li Shimin couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.
Now it’s over!
What else can be done?
I have to hold on to my misunderstanding and my tears.
He looked at his royal garden with a pained expression and waved his hand.
"Come here, dig for me, dig -"
The palace maids and chambermaids who were busy looking at each other couldn't help but look at each other.
Ah, what happened?
Didn’t you say that you only planed this small piece?
However, they didn't dare to say it, and they didn't dare to ask it either.
Since Your Majesty allows you to do it, let’s do it——
What a crime!
These are rare flowers and plants in the world.
Not to mention Li Shimin, even the maids and chamberlains who took action felt trembling in their hearts.
At this time, Wang Zi'an was sitting in the back garden of his home, taking Guanshi Liao with him, happily planning what kind of flowers should be planted where to make the garden beautiful but not vulgar, delicate but not gaudy. , you can have a sense of orderliness and originality.
"Ahem, this - Mr. Hou, we have to see what kind of flowers we can get at that time..."
Looking at Wang Zi'an who was already immersed in his imagination, Manager Liao couldn't help but cautiously remind him.
Wang Zi'an waved his hand.
"It's okay. My father-in-law has a lot of money. Just make the best arrangements for me. If I don't need anything, I won't..."
Manager Liao:......
Well, your father-in-law is so generous!
At this time, not far away, the little Taoist nun Qing Lingzi, who had disappeared for several days, appeared again and followed him closely. At this time, when I heard this, I couldn't help but glance at my mouth and hummed weakly.
"Bah, pretty boy, you are eating soft food, don't be ashamed -"
The voice was not loud, but Wang Zian was unusual these days.
He could see in all directions and listen in all directions, and even with his eyes closed he could catch Xue Rengui's arrow with his bare hands.
Hearing her whispering behind her, I immediately felt happy.
Turning his head, he looked at her with a half-smile and teased.
"I'm a pretty boy, I'm a softie, but am I proud?"
Ah, he actually heard it!
The little Taoist nun was ashamed and ashamed. For a moment, she was speechless and completely confused.
For a while, with her pitiful little knowledge, she really couldn't figure out why a pretty face and a weakling could still be proud.
Manager Liao couldn't help but remain silent and looked at the sky.
It’s really a long time to see you.
In so many years, this is the first time that eating soft rice has been so justified.
Seeing this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
I don’t know what Yun Xuzi, an old man, is thinking about placing such a young disciple who grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, as pure as a piece of white paper, but looks like a white moonlight, by his side. , aren’t you afraid of being eaten dry by yourself?
Who do you look down on?
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but vomit.
Subconsciously, he took another look at the little Taoist nun named Su Feier.
Her eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is beautiful, and she wears a green Taoist robe. She has graceful curves. She walks like a willow swinging in the wind. Although she carries a long sword on her back, she can't hide her gracefulness. But between her eyebrows, there is a clear and simple image, like the autumn water in a cave. .
Absolutely a first-class beauty.
This master has such a big heart.
Wang Zi'an silently withdrew his gaze, teasing was useless. This little Taoist nun was simply terrifying. You thought you were flirting with her very coquettishly, but in fact, people didn't understand you at all, and they might even think you were inexplicable and crazy.
Manager Liao wisely lowered his eyelids and turned a blind eye to the young marquis's "flirting" game with his maid at home.
This kind of thing has been seen too much in the Shenzhai compound. If there is any difference, it is that this beautiful maid from the Marquis of Chang'an family is too beautiful.
Ah, it seems that the Marquis of Chang'an is also very beautiful——
Manager Liao was a sensible person. Seeing that Wang Zi'an had nothing to explain, he quickly said goodbye and left.
It wasn't until Manager Liao walked out of the back garden that Su Feier suddenly said something.
"My senior brother went to see it in person a few nights ago. That ginseng and red fruit really sprouted and grew very well - you really know how to cultivate these immortal grasses..."
Wang Zi'an was almost stunned by her sudden words.
After being stunned for a while, I finally understood what the girl was talking about.
I couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"How many times have I told you, that is a potato, not a ginseng that is about to transform into a Taoist form, and that red one is not a red fruit, it is a tomato. Of course, you can also call it a tomato..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the little Taoist nun, with her hands on her shoulders and a pair of bright big eyes, looking at her unblinkingly, filled with disbelief.
I couldn't explain it anymore.
It's over, this girl has been brainwashed by her master, whatever you tell her is all nonsense.
"Okay, ginseng is ginseng, and Zhuguo is Zhuguo——"
Wang Zi'an sighed resignedly, walked over, and gently patted her soft little shoulder.
Su Feier suddenly jumped up to the eaves of the pavilion with a whoosh like a frightened deer, and then looked at him with a red face.
Wang Zi’an:……
It doesn't matter, I have made great progress, and the sword will no longer be unsheathed.
Wang Zi'an coughed dryly, raised his face, and smiled as if the breeze was blowing against his face and the bright moon was in his arms.
"Come down quickly, come down quickly - let me tell you, when the spring starts next year and the fruits are born, I will give you a beef stew with red fruits and ginseng first. Tsk, the taste will leave a fragrance in your mouth. I guarantee that you will be able to eat it without stopping. can not stop--"
Beef stew with red fruit and ginseng?
Su Feier couldn't help but have a look of doubt in her eyes.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that this name was a bit weird and not serious. Compared with the names of the elixirs that her master usually refines, they are really incongruous, especially the words "beef stew", which always make her subconsciously think of the dishes she eats on weekdays, which are not as mysterious as Taoism at all. a feeling of.
The little Taoist nun, wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a long sword on her back, stood gracefully on the eaves. In the afterglow of the setting sun, she looked like a flying fairy from the sky, which even made Prince An feel a little trance-like.
Sure enough, uniforms are the way to go!
He almost couldn't bear to let the girl get off the eaves.
However, she didn't need to shout, probably because she saw that he didn't make any other dangerous moves, the girl jumped down from the cornice again, but she was very vigilant, and she was four or five meters away from him. Similar.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be speechless.
You're just leaving now!
While he was complaining in his heart, his new apprentice, Miss Wu Zetian, came to say goodbye to his master.
It was getting late and she had to go home on time.
Wang Zi'an nodded with a smile and told Xue Rengui to see her off. Just when Wu Zetian turned around to leave, Wang Zi'an suddenly felt something in his heart and gave him a warning.
"Do you still have the jade pendant your master gave you?"
Wu Zetian was startled and then said yes.
Wang Zi'an seemed to mention it accidentally.
"Hang it up, it's a good thing——"
Although she didn't know why her master suddenly mentioned this, Wu Zetian still obediently took out the jade pendant and hung it on her waist. Most of the female companions around me wear jingle bells and other accessories such as forbidden steps. Now that I wear this, I finally have some decoration on my body.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously pressed her hand again, saluted her master, and then followed Xue Rengui out.
"Come, come, come, girl, come here, let's talk about life and ideals——"
Seeing his apprentice walking away, the prince let himself go when he settled down.
In this era when there are no mobile phones, no computers, and a pitiful lack of entertainment activities, what should we do in our spare time?
Apart from reading, the only thing I can do is tease this cute little Taoist nun.
Just when Wang Zi'an was having fun for himself.
In Chang'an City, a strange story suddenly spread.
Wei Zheng, the secretary-supervisor, seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. After returning home, he suddenly became hysterical and plowed up all his flowers and plants!
When it comes to avoiding extravagance and being frugal, it starts with me. I am ashamed of Your Majesty and all the people to plant these things that I cannot eat when I am hungry and I cannot clothe myself when I am cold. I have to plow up and plant crops!
Isn't this neurosis?
However, the news from Wei Zheng's residence had just spread, and before everyone had finished laughing, the same news came from Tang Jian's residence, Minister of Civil Affairs, and everyone suddenly felt a little weird.
Everyone still believes that Wei Zheng is crazy. The old guy is smelly, hard and weird, but Tang Jian and Tang Shangshu are different.
Who doesn’t know that this old man, although he is an upright official and conscientious in his work, has a wild and unrestrained temperament. He will never show off and refuse these sensual things to enjoy life. Some time ago, he asked someone to bring back a precious flower and plant from the south. .
Are you going to dig it in the blink of an eye?
But the news was soon confirmed, it was really exciting!
The reason is exactly the same as that old guy Wei Zheng!
Was he really infected by this old guy Wei Zheng?
However, just as many people were complaining and speculating, an even more explosive news came.
The elder brother of the current queen, Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Kaifu Yi and the third division of Qi State, who was always known for his resourcefulness, actually started to dig out the back garden!
