I secretly made a note in my mind that I would make it for Zhang Yang next time.
After eating the dumplings, Li Yue and Aunt Wang were talking, and I didn't know what they were whispering.
Zhang Yang walked out of the house.
After the Hungry Ghost Festival, Zhuque Street is still very lively.
Along the way, Zhang Yang saw another guy on the road holding a roasted leg of lamb and eating it. The bloody thorns inside the leg of lamb made a sound when he bit into it.
The man still ate with gusto.
Too rough.
Datang's concept of hygiene still needs to be improved.
People these days do not wash their hands when eating, drink raw water at will, and even dump domestic sewage at will.
This kind of unhygienic and disturbing scene can be seen every morning.
It is said that when Chang'an City was at its most glorious in history, its population could reach one million.
Such a dense living environment and such poor sanitary conditions.
If nothing unexpected happens, you are just lucky.
At this time, I was afraid that a basin of water would pour down from the second floor.
As he was walking, a man dressed like a boy came hurriedly towards him.
Zhang Yang turned around and headed in the other direction.
The other party stopped in front of him.
Looking at the panting young man in front of him curiously, Zhang Yang said, "Who are you?"
The man gasped and said, "I am from the Hongwen Hall. His Royal Highness is hosting a banquet and would like to invite Young Master Zhang to come."
Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "You have the wrong person."
When he was about to leave, the boy took out a scroll and said, "The person in this young master's portrait is you. There can be no mistake."
Zhang Yang glanced at the portrait and said, "Is this me? It doesn't look like me at all, okay? Am I that handsome?"
The boy bowed repeatedly and said, "Master Zhang, please come."
"Can I say no?"
"this……"
This was the first time I heard someone dare to refuse the prince's invitation.
For a while, the boy didn't know how to answer.
In the past, no one would refuse the prince's invitation.
The boy has been at Hongwen Hall for several years, and he thinks he has rich work experience, but at this moment he has indeed touched a blind spot in experience.
After bowing again, the boy said, "Master, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Zhang Yang looked at him and said, "Do you think I am sick?"
The boy scratched his head, his words sounded like curses.
After saluting again, the young man said again: "Why don't you wait here for a while, then go back and report to His Highness the Crown Prince."
After hesitating for a while, the boy started running on Zhuque Street.
Why would Zhang Yang be waiting for him here? He turned around a street corner and disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this moment, Li Chengqian was entertaining a group of young talents at the Hongwen Pavilion.
The boy hurried over and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Zhang refused, saying he didn't want to come."
After the words fell, Li Chengqian's smile froze on his face.
The boy's words were not loud, but everyone could just hear him.
Li Chengqian asked: "Why doesn't he come?"
Faced with Li Chengqian's questioning, the boy trembled and said, "He said he's not sick either, but he just doesn't want to come."
The people below were all talking.
"Some people even refuse the prince's invitation."
"Who is it? The prince can't even invite such a big arrogant person."
Someone looked at Changsun Chong and whispered: "No son of the current prince would dare to do this."
"Who is so brave?"
"Are you looking down on the prince, or are you looking down on us?"
"If you want to know who it is, you need to interrogate him carefully."
Seeing the discussion in front of him, Li Chengqian smiled with relief and sat down again, "Everyone, I will drink with you."
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in the bowl together.
Look at His Highness the Crown Prince's unconcerned expression when he was rejected, and he was even talking and laughing.
The people present were talking again.
"As such a noble crown prince, you can still be so calm even if someone rejects you."
"His Royal Highness is really open-minded."
"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to arrest him and question him clearly."
"It is a blessing for us and the Tang Dynasty to have such a prince."
"I must study hard in the future, repay the Tang Dynasty, and repay the kindness of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"That kind of villain must have a high opinion of himself and want to attract the prince's attention."
"It's okay for His Highness to be missing that kind of person."
"I guess he doesn't have any real talent or knowledge."
Li Chengqian took a sip of wine and felt disappointed.
It didn't matter that his brother-in-law didn't accept the invitation, because he was Yue'er's husband.
Originally, I invited Zhang Yang here just to get to know him formally.
Before, it was just a sideways inquiry without concealing the responsibility.
Zhang Yang can solve the mystery of the Tibetan people and find a place for the young people of the Tang Dynasty.
It's not like what the people present said.
Li Chengqian didn't know how to explain it.
Come to think of it, the saying that the end justifies the means is a hero, and the true hero who does not change his original intention was also written by him.
Li Chengqian's ears were full of their discussions, and they all talked about rejection.
Why didn't he say it in the first place? Was it because he was hiding his clumsiness?
As the saying goes, anything beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I guess that's why he doesn't want to show off in front of others, huh.
Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully.
The residence of Prince Wei at this moment.
There was a pot in front of Li Tai with an egg on it, and he was doubting life.
A group of people knelt on the ground and said with grimaces: "Your Highness, King Wei, this is simply impossible."
"Can this cooked egg grow legs on its own? Can it fit into this pot on its own?"
"Prince Wei, please spare your life. We have exhausted all our lifelong learning and searched all the classics."
…
More than ten people were kneeling on the ground, feeling like crying.
His Highness the King of Wei is too embarrassed.
Li Tai stared at the cooked egg with bloodshot eyes.
The servants in Prince Wei's residence also stood aside with trepidation.
Last night after returning from the Chinese Ghost Festival Lantern Festival.
His Royal Highness the King of Wei stayed up all night.
I haven't slept a wink until now.
His Highness the King of Wei may be in a daze.
The servants in the mansion all want to go to the Imperial Medical Office to ask the imperial doctor to take a look. In the past, the King of Wei was also well-educated and talented. Now the King of Wei is really scary.
After a while, Li Tai stood up and said, "That's it, you all can go."
As if they had been granted amnesty, everyone fled the palace of Prince Wei as if fleeing for their lives.
Li Tai picked up the pot and cooked eggs and walked out of the mansion all the way to the Qintian Prison in the palace.
Yuan Tiangang is sitting on a Bagua picture.
Seeing that it was Li Tai who had arrived, Yuan Tiangang stood up and said, "What is the purpose of His Majesty the King of Wei?"
Li Tai took out the pot, put the cooked egg on the spout and said, "May I ask Taoist Yuan, can this cooked egg fall into the pot without any external force?"
Yuan Tiangang looked at the cooked eggs at the mouth of the pot and said, "Is His Royal Highness the King of Wei kidding?"
Li Tai said curiously, "Does Taoist Yuan also think it's impossible?"
Yuan Tiangang said confidently: "Of course it's impossible. Who said this to His Highness the King of Wei?"
