Li Xiaogong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and finally spoke calmly again. At first, he was still on pins and needles, but now he finally feels at ease.
Li Shimin asked again: "Xiao Gong, how is your son Chongyi doing now?"
"Your Majesty, my son is serving in Taichang Temple."
"What a good boy. He was wronged at Taichang Temple and asked to serve in the Ministry of Etiquette, and then the Ministry of Personnel arranged for him to be appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Foreign Affairs Academy."
"Here."
"Let Chongyi stay in Chang'an City to handle affairs. You go to Lishan to serve as the chief historian of Lantian and record everything that happened in Lishan. What do you think of my arrangement?"
Li Xiaogong said loudly: "I accept the order."
The hall was quiet for another moment. Li Shimin frowned and said, "Zhang Yang, what do you think?"
Zhang Yang added: "As long as Lishan's successful technology is not leaked out, everything will be fine."
Li Shimin closed his eyes and said, "It's late at night, so you and your family should go to bed early."
Li Yue then stood up and bowed to leave.
The couple pushed the stroller and walked outside the temple.
Xiao Wu and Li Lizhi were sleeping next to each other.
"Xiao Wu, go home." Li Yue whispered.
Li Lizhi straightened up and rubbed Mi Hu's eyes, "Are you done talking?"
Zhang Yang nodded, "We're done talking. It was very harmonious."
Xiao Wu struggled to stand up, but found that his legs were numb.
The way she walked, Zhang Yang bent down and said, "I'll carry you."
Xiao Wu took a step back, grimacing in pain from his legs, and had no choice but to climb onto his master's back.
Master's back was very broad and strong, and Xiao Wu felt very solid. Sleepiness came over him again, so he fell asleep leaning on the strong back.
The family walked under the stars, and the child fell asleep in the stroller again.
Zhang Yang glanced at Li Xiaogong who was walking aside, "Your Majesty, you still don't trust me."
Li Xiaogong walked all the way and said, "You kid is just too persistent."
"It concerns the future safety of Lishan, and I cannot give in."
"You are a smart boy. I can help you once or twice. What about the future?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "I live openly and have no regrets."
"Why did I blindly provoke you in the first place?"
Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "Maybe I'm just blind."
"The family affairs of the royal family are also the same for father, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Every family is the same. There will be a big quarrel in every three or two days between marriages. Don't take it to heart. It will be over in a few days. There will be fun in the world. That's true." Li Xiaogong smiled heartily.
Zhang Yang nodded to show that he had listened, "Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. This is probably what Prince Hejian wanted to say."
Li Xiaogong nodded, "You should study more."
Walking outside Chengtian Gate, Aunt Yang has been waiting here.
The family parted ways with Li Xiaogong at Zhuquemen.
The road home was very familiar. Li Yue was also very sleepy and her eyelids were twitching.
The sleepy and tired family returned home.
The little bear ran up immediately. He kept sniffing the little master in the stroller, and after confirming that the little master was still there, he lay on the ground aggrievedly.
As if complaining about not bringing it.
My wife and Xiao Wu washed themselves up and went to bed early.
Zhang Yang was sitting in the courtyard, sorting out his toolbox. Sometimes he was touched by the help of his elders, but he didn't know how to express his feelings.
Li Xiaogong is willing to go to Lishan, which is equivalent to a guarantee to His Majesty.
Once something happens in the future, the first person to be held accountable will be Li Xiaogong.
This trust made Zhang Yang feel that he was living in a humane world.
After all, he is the emperor, and he has many things to consider. He wants the Tang Dynasty to be strong, so it is okay for him to fall out with a son-in-law for this reason.
This was not the first time that the emperor showed his intention to seize the achievements of Lishan.
Of course, Lishan needs the privileges granted by the emperor even more.
"Tian Khan, Tian Khan! How selfish are you emperors?"
"..."
"Is it easy for me? When my new home is built, you see, if I don't care about your bad things, you are just a bastard!"
…
Li Yue was sleepy and fell asleep peacefully when she heard the husband's scolding in the courtyard.
It was dawn, and the day for the opening of the imperial court was getting closer and closer. After the Lantern Festival, all the princes and nobles who had been in various places left Chang'an City.
As they left, what happened in Taiji Hall last night also spread.
A ten-year-old child of His Royal Highness the King of Jin solved the riddle of the Tubo people.
It is Zhang Yang who gives guidance to His Highness the King of Jin.
There were more and more rumors, and the news that His Highness King Jin was a disciple of Zhang Yang was discussed by everyone for a while.
In Lishan, Li Tai was sitting at the entrance of the village, eating vegetable leaves from a bowl, listening to the guard's story, "So many things happened last night?"
"Tai Chi Hall is very lively, and now there are rumors that His Highness Prince Jin is a disciple of the County Marquis."
Li Tai snorted coldly, chewing vegetable leaves in his mouth, "They are all ordinary people, how do they know how much skill my brother-in-law still has?"
What my brother-in-law showed in the Tai Chi Hall was just superficial, and many things that ordinary people couldn't understand have not yet been revealed to others.
Not long after, Li Xiaogong arrived at the entrance of the village with his family papers.
Li Tai handed the bowl to the guard on the side, wiped his mouth and stood up, "Uncle Wang, why are you here?"
Li Xiaogong took out the paperwork and said, "Read it yourself."
After wiping his hands again, Li Tai took the document and looked at it with a frown, "Ren Lishan chief historian? Has Uncle Wang been demoted to Lishan? Zong Zhengqing doesn't do it anymore?"
"No one in the court has multiple positions, so what if I have multiple official positions? Go and arrange accommodation. My family will live in Lishan these days."
"Let Uncle Wang prepare it."
In the city of Chang'an, there are more and more discussions about Zhang Yang, a strange man, and his reputation as a wise man even worse.
He has an eccentric temperament, is withdrawn and has difficulty making friends. In the eyes of many scholars, Zhang Yang is a strange person. It is not uncommon to find strange people in this world, but what is rare is that this person is so young.
Li Chongyi looked at the empty home. The family changed drastically overnight. His father took his mother, younger brothers and sisters to Lishan Mountain.
The servant whispered: "Sir, the documents from the Ministry of Personnel have arrived."
Li Chongyi took the documents and looked at the arrangements of the Ministry of Personnel. He also wanted to serve in the Ministry of Rites, and Ren Shilang also wanted to enter the Foreign Affairs Academy.
He wondered: "How many ministers are there in the Foreign Affairs Academy now?"
The servant replied: "Including the young master, there are five of them in total, but from Taichang Temple Wen San to the minister, the master has taken many steps. It is rare for someone to be the minister in one day."
A lot has happened in Chang'an City in the past two years, and many strange things have been seen.
Just as people were talking about at the beginning, there were evil winds in Chang'an City.
Li Chongyi stood up and said: "He is just a minister. Zhang Yang did not become the Minister of Rites overnight."
The servant smiled and said: "Young master cannot be compared with Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang is a strange person. People in Chang'an say that he studied under an expert from Qinling Mountains. As a mortal, the master should be down-to-earth and promoted step by step. Those who are lucky enough to advance are There are only a few, and Zhang Yang is one of them, and no one will be so lucky again."
Li Chongyi felt helpless as he looked at the servant who had taken care of him since childhood.
Follow the servant out of the house and walk all the way to the Diplomatic Academy.
Last night, my father entered the palace and returned home just before dawn. It is said that the Lantern Festival had ended long ago. My father stayed in the palace for a long time, so something must have happened.
This incident also led to him joining the Ministry of Etiquette as a minister?
Li Chongyi walked to the door of the Diplomatic Academy while thinking in his heart.
The current Diplomatic Academy is very large, even wider than the Hongwen Pavilion.
After changing his mood, Li Chongyi walked into this place, looking at the document in his hand and looking left and right, not knowing who to give it to. There was no doorman here.
Everyone is very busy, and footsteps come and go in a hurry.
Li Chongyi scratched the back of his head, took a breath, stopped someone and asked, "I am newly appointed Minister of Rites. May I ask where to meet the superior?"
"Do it yourself." The other party said and left quickly.
Do it at your convenience? Li Chongyi looked left and right, and there seemed to be no one in charge here.
Where is Zhang Yang? Isn’t he the Minister of Rites in charge of the Foreign Affairs Academy? Where have people gone?
Li Chongyi also thought of Zhang Yang's strange behavior. He never paid attention to the Ministry of Rites and rarely handled political affairs personally.
Can such a lazy person become the Minister of Rites? How can he still sit so firmly, and His Majesty is so indulgent?
I have met him several times before, and I feel that this person is quite ordinary, and he is not as unpredictable as what is said outside.
Finally, Li Chongyi saw a person eating in the backyard of the Diplomatic Academy.
The other person was eating a bowl of noodle soup and holding a book in his hand.
"Dare to ask..."
Di Zhisun ate in his mouth and pointed behind him, "There is food in the pot. Get a bowl and fill it up quickly."
Li Chongyi hesitated: "This..."
"It doesn't matter, our officials in the Diplomatic Academy don't need money to eat here."
Not knowing how to explain it, Li Chongyi opened the document and placed it in front of him.
After finishing a bowl of noodle soup, Di Zhisun hurriedly saluted after reading the contents of the document, "Your Majesty, Di Zhisun, I have met the Minister."
Li Chongyi waved his hand and said: "You are older than me, so you don't have to be polite. How dare I ask how to meet Shangguan?"
The minister's superior is Shangshu. Di Zhisun explained: "Three ministers are in charge of matters here. Li Shilang can go to the second floor of the courtyard on the left, and Zhang Shilang is responsible for scheduling and allocating manpower."
"Thank you." Li Chongyi received the words and walked to the other side.
He came to the second floor here. There were still people coming and going here, and everyone was walking very fast.
It's not even the start of the court yet, but it's already so busy here. It's indeed the most special among the six.
Li Chongyi could only distinguish these people by looking at the official uniforms, and finally found a person wearing a red official robe in a room.
Zhang Dashu was sorting out the files to be translated.
Li Chongyi stepped forward and said: "Dare to ask..."
Seeing the people coming, Zhang Dashu said: "These are books for literacy. They have been sorted out. You can send them to the carriage at the back door."
Li Chongyi was stunned for a long time while holding the document.
The busy atmosphere of the Diplomatic Academy was very contagious. Li Chongyi looked at the official robes on his body that were of the same rank as the other party's, but the man in front of him didn't seem to notice.
He put the book on the table, carried a large box and walked out of the room.
In the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, what happened in the Tai Chi Palace last night became a joke for everyone.
Some people were sitting around, listening to a scholar telling the story of the battle of wits with the Tubo people last night.
It would be nice if someone clapped when His Highness the King of Jin solved the riddle of the Tibetan people.
Pei Xingjian watched with interest as someone took a water bag and started doing what happened in the Tai Chi Hall last night.
When the hole of the water bag is small enough, it can indeed achieve the effect achieved by His Highness King Jin, but if the hole is too big, it will not help.
Some people debated how this happened, and some scholars even checked the classics.
Pei Xingjian smiled at this scene and said, "I knew about this when I was a child, but I just never saw it through."
"The young master is smart and must have found the answer."
Listening to the servant's words, Pei Xingjian's confident smile disappeared again, "If it weren't for the rumors about Tai Chi Hall last night, I would have forgotten it. Even though I have grown up, I still haven't figured out the principle. These students can really find out the truth from the classics. Are you going to answer the question?"
Most of the answers will not be found in the books. If such riddles can be solved, they will definitely be recorded in the books. Pei Xingjian whispered: "If the various schools of thought were still around, they would surely have answers."
The deeds of the Lantern Festival Night in Taiji Hall spread further and further.
Zhang Yang slept on the wooden bed until noon and woke up. He was beating his sore back while doing something. He looked back and saw that the little bear was still guarding the door of the house.
Looking again, he saw a small figure busy in the yard. Zhang Yang walked outside the house and saw Xu Hui cleaning up the yard.
"Master, dad asked me to come back." Xu Hui bowed and saluted.
"What is your dad busy with recently?"
"Dad often goes to Dali Temple and will not tell his disciples about government affairs."
Zhang Yang was still a little dazed at the moment, staring blankly ahead. This is what happens after staying up late. When a person wakes up, his mind is still awake.
He also stayed up late arguing with Tian Khan.
Zhang Yang found that his oral ulcers had recurred. This abominable Tian Khan made people angry again. He walked into his wife's room. The child was sleeping soundly in the cozy small room.
My wife is still asleep.
Opening the small medicine box, Zhang Yang took out some medicinal materials in a familiar manner and made himself a bowl of tea to dispel fire.
Xu Hui is a very diligent girl. In fact, apart from her aunt, she and her daughter-in-law are also busy at home with things like cleaning the yard.
It is said that the Xu family was a prominent family at first, but now Xu Xiaode's family has reached the point of poverty.
Xu Xiaode has no servants at home, and Xu Hui is sensible and takes the initiative to do housework.
After drinking the fire-removing tea, Zhang Yang held a small bronze mirror and looked at the situation in his mouth. Fortunately, the ulcer was not too serious.
Not long after, Li Yue and Xiao Wu also woke up.
Xiao Wu also looked very depressed, "Master, I woke up from hunger."
The whole family was in poor condition, so Zhang Yang came to his stove to prepare meals.
Xiao Wu noticed that Xu Hui was back and shared what happened in Tai Chi Hall last night.
Hearing the cry of the child in the house, Li Yue walked into the house to take care of the child. It was during the nursing period that he could not do without his mother.
Zhang Yang made a simple meal, and Xiao Wu and Xu Hui devoured it.
Knowing that Xu Hui was back, the little bear became more lively.
The two aunts also woke up from resting until now. Zhang Yang greeted: "Aunts, come and have dinner too, so you don't have to cook."
The two aunts, who had a strong sense of master and servant, refused to sit at the table to eat, so they could sit in front of the door with bowls in hand.
After getting along with each other for so many years, it can be seen that the two aunts are both warriors, and they look very heroic when eating.
How can ordinary palace maids have such skills?
As for their identities, one can only ask the queen.
