Not to mention the civil and military discord in the DPRK, will Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong start a fight? The so-called forceful melon is not sweet, and the two people who are not harmonious to begin with insist on sitting together to drink, and they are very happy. Looks so hypocritical!
Looking at Li Daozong, he also smiled reluctantly, and he would turn around and smile at himself from time to time. What's going on with this weird atmosphere?
Zhang Yang couldn't help but shudder. The banquet was placed at the place where the elderly and children in the village practiced Tai Chi. Li Tai had already had a round table prepared, and the dishes and drinks were placed on the table.
Li Xiaogong took Changsun Wuji to sit down and the two of them started pushing cups and changing cups. Seeing Li Daozong still standing aside, Zhang Yang asked curiously: "General, doesn't he need food?"
"Generals in the army are not allowed to drink alcohol while on duty." Li Daozong said with a straight face. He glanced around and said, "Can you give me a step to speak?" He first gave Li Tai a look to let him take a good look at the prince of Hejian County and Changsun Wuji. , don't let them start fighting.
Zhang Yang followed and walked aside, cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what the general wants to tell me?" Li Daozong nodded and said, "You are also one of the six ministers in the court. I heard that you often neglect political affairs?" Zhang Yang He grinned and said, "Actually, I have a secret that I can't tell you."
"What do you have to hide?"
"I'm not as good as Zhang Xiang when it comes to handling daily government affairs, and I'm not as good as Xu Jingzong when it comes to arrangements, not to mention the handling of ordinary affairs of the Ministry of Rites, I'm even worse than Li Baiyao. As for why, I also want to ask Your Majesty." Another voice came out. Sighing, Li Daozong saw that his expression was a bit more vicissitudes of life.
Zhang Yang continued: "I wanted to resign several times, but His Majesty refused. He also allowed me to join the Shangshu Province and preside over the imperial branch." Li Daozong was silent, not knowing how to answer the next words.
"Perhaps too many people have resigned from His Majesty in the past two years. In a few years, His Majesty may agree."
"..."
"Maybe His Majesty thinks that I am a talented person and wants me to continue to shine for the Tang Dynasty. The silkworms will die when they die..."
"..." After a long silence, I don't know where to start. The spring silkworms will only die when they die? What a sentence.
Then he asked again: "I heard that you will be seriously ill when you are thirty?" Zhang Yang nodded.
"Yes, I will be seriously ill when I am thirty, and I will die if I say another word. So now I try to speak as little as possible to try to live a few more years."
"I see that you look very good. Will anyone believe this?"
"Whether you believe it or not is their business and none of my business. Anyway, I will definitely get seriously ill when I am thirty."
"You are really weird."
"The general is overrated." Li Daozong sat down cross-legged, his face full of seriousness. It seemed that he was going to get down to business next.
"Qingque has been smart since he was young. I heard that he has been living in Lishan for a long time and hanging out all day long. Is this possible?" As the elder of the clan, Li Daozong is indeed qualified to teach Li Tai.
After all, he is his father's cousin. Zhang Yang also sat down and said tangledly: "I wonder who is spreading rumors that His Highness the King of Wei is hanging out with me?" Li Daozong stroked his beard and said, "Of course it's a common person."
"General, please look at the current King of Wei." Li Daozong looked over after hearing this.
"I wonder how the general changed when he saw His Highness the King of Wei?"
"I see that there is no change, whether it is demeanor or conversation."
"Everyone has his or her own opinion when looking at flowers in the fog." Zhang Yang closed his wide cuffs and said,
"Didn't the General see it? Your Highness the King of Wei has lost weight. When he was a child, His Highness was fat and short of breath. He often had shortness of breath and sweating. To tell the truth, the General, His Highness the King of Wei, came to Lishan for treatment, and the treatment was for obesity. Illness, how can we talk about being idle and wasted?"
"People in the public eye don't understand that His Highness the King of Wei compiled topography and geography, and sorted and classified the customs outside the pass, which is of great benefit to the country. From the construction of the Anxi Protectorate to the current General Li Ji's expedition to Mobei, it has had great benefits. Help." Li Daozong glanced at Li Tai, who was now pouring wine for Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji.
"What you said is really..."
"There have always been bad rumors about Lishan, and there are also many people who smear Lishan. I don't want to offend the river, but for the narrow-minded people, they just sit in the well and look at the sky, and they can't see the whole picture of the matter. It's their fault Ignorance makes them only have a narrow vision, and I won't care about it." Li Daozong said solemnly: "Some people say that you have three faces and two hearts." Zhang Yang said with a dark face.
"It is a shame to spread this rumor. I hope the government can punish those who smeared me on the spot and give me justice." I don't know where this word first came from. It seems that it was after Liaozhai came out. With this statement.
As for who is talking, I remember that the first rumor came from the palace. The popular saying, Three Faces, Two Hearts, is also based on this son's various actions.
A person's life experience is limited, and the skills he can learn are limited, not to mention that he is less than thirty years old.
Where did Zhang Yang's abilities come from? It is unknown who he studied under, and there were even rumors in the palace that Zhang Yang often said some inexplicable words, and seemed to be haunted by evil spirits.
All in all, according to popular discussions, Zhang Yang is not a normal person. Li Daozong added: "I have one more thing to ask you when you come here this time."
"General, please speak."
"I have seen how the Leading Guards and the Qianniu Guards organized their troops, and the results were great. His Royal Highness, the King of Shu, was training a troop of troops by himself, and his vigor was far superior to that of other guards." Even if Li Daozong was well-connected, Well, even members of the clan can at least hear some news that others cannot.
For example, not many people knew about Li Ke's training of troops and horses.
"If these methods of running an army can be spread among the army, wouldn't it be better if our army of the Tang Dynasty goes further to the west." Li Daozong became more and more excited as he spoke.
There was a pause in the words, and then looking at his expression, he regarded it as a friendship and a personal favor. Zhang Yang smiled and said: "I will write a military training method when I go back next time and send it to my house. In fact, this This method of military training is not suitable for all guards. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty mostly used cavalry to charge into the formation, or the Mo Dao team opened the way to encircle and kill. I don’t know much about the art of war, so the general can consider it and adopt it."
"That's very good." Li Daozong finally stood up. Li Xiaogong and Changsun Wuji couldn't drink together, so the banquet dispersed in less than half an hour.
Li Tai led others to pack up, while Zhang Yang and Li Xiaogong said goodbye together. Seeing Li Daozong escorting a carriage away, Zhang Yang put his hands on his hands and said, "How is the discussion between Prince Hejian and Duke Zhao going?"
"What's there to talk about?" Li Xiaogong said with a straight face.
"The old fox is secretive in his words, so naturally he won't be happy when he drinks."
"General just asked me about running the army, and I agreed to write him a military training method." Seeing Li Xiaogong looking at him with big eyes, Zhang Yang cleared his throat.
"I wonder what Prince Hejian feels."
"Back then, our brothers were also heroes who traveled far and wide. Li Daoxuan died on the battlefield because of a moment of anger. Li Shentong passed away early due to illness. Of the four brothers we had back then, now only I and Daozong are left." The four members of the clan back then. General, there are only two left at this moment.
Even if Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong are not on good terms, they are still cousins of the same clan. Now Li Shimin is tolerant of the clan and trusts many veterans.
Will it still be like this in the future? Li Daozong has held military power for so many years. Among the clan generals, apart from the juniors, only Li Daozong is still serving in the army.
Zhang Yang said, "The King of Hejian County hopes that he can leave the Wei Mansion." Li Xiaogong turned around and walked back to the village.
"I'm getting old. It will be you young people who will make contributions in the future. What does it have to do with me." Following his footsteps, Zhang Yang added: "My new home in Lishan has been built. I would like to invite you and the Supreme Emperor to come. The teacher, King Wei and the others also came to the new home to have a home-cooked meal and a simple housewarming party."
"It's your arrangement." Zhang Yang stood there and watched him walk towards a group of children and play with a group of half-grown children in the village.
The Prince of Hejian County is a person who attaches great importance to friendship. Even though he is usually careless, he is still a good man who values loyalty and affection at heart.
This can be seen from the fact that he goes to worship Li Shentong every year. Among the clan generals at that time, Li Shentong lost the most battles, but he was the most valued by Li Yuan. There was so much criticism of that general in the army, but Li Xiaogong still went to worship him every year.
Whether or not he has the ability is one thing. Even if Li Shentong was incapable of leading troops to fight, he still went ahead and never flinched.
Who made the prince of Hejian County value friendship? If something unexpected happens to Li Daozong again, and he is the only one of the clan generals left, he will definitely be very sad.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shangguan Yi came in a hurry.
"Marquis of the County, the coal and stone have been weighed, there is no problem."
"Do you think you will be punished by your Majesty for inciting the clan generals to give up their military power?" Shangguan Yi, who was originally busy organizing many factory arrangements and people's livelihood matters in Lishan, was stunned by this question.
Can you talk nonsense about your Majesty's clan? Shangguan Yi said again: "Xia Guan..." Zhang Yang said melancholy: "Forget it, I won't embarrass you. I think it's more reliable to ask Mr. Zheng and their ministers about this kind of thing." Shangguan Yi was relieved,
"The official will arrange for manpower to tidy up the warehouse."
"Hard."
"It's okay, I've been free since the twelfth lunar month until now." After sending Shangguan Yi away, Zhang Yang walked on the stone steps all the way to Lishan Mountain. Xiao Qingqing rode on the back of a bear and ran along the Huaqing Pool, followed by five others. A little milk bear.
The two aunts stood by, fearing that the little princess would fall into the pool, and were ready to fish her out as soon as possible.
The bear's back is now so wide that Xiao Qingqing can even sit cross-legged on it. Li Yue mended her daughter's clothes.
"The child was getting more and more playful, and the fine new silk clothes were torn." The child had just learned to walk, and fell from time to time. When he fell, he crawled on the ground, which caused holes in his clothes.
Seeing Xiao Qingqing walking to the edge of Huaqing Pool, the little bear picked her up and let her resist and pat her with both hands.
Anywhere there is danger, it will pick up Xiao Qingqing and put it in a safe place before resting.
A female doll and a bear were arguing for a long time. Finally, Xiao Qingqing gave up and returned to the house in a bad mood.
A house was built for the little bear, but it didn't want to live in it, so these five little milk bears were willing to live in it.
The little bear is still the same as before. After he has a little master, he stays in front of the little master's house at night.
Zhang Yang took out the signed contract and handed it to his wife.
"Five hundred coins per stone will be used to purchase coal mines. Lishan will have to pay an additional 10% tax in the future. The price of coal will not change in the future. A total of 2,500 coins. The money can be sent after a while." Putting the contract aside, Li Yue continued to mend his clothes.
"If this is the case, we will have no shortage of coal mines in Lishan from now on."
"It's just to solve the immediate problem. If Lishan wants to develop in the long run, it needs a lot of resources. Your father can be so generous and Zhao Guogong can be so talkative, and he also wants to use these resources to control the development of Lishan." I know that my husband will never put it aside. Others think too well.
Especially when facing the court and facing his father. Vigilance is often greater than sincerity. Li Yue added: "I think there is an open space to the west of the new home, which can be used to make some flowers."
"Planting flowers can easily attract bees and butterflies."
"It's great to have flowers and butterflies." They are both mothers and have a girlish heart. Zhang Yang moved a chair and sat on the eaves. The backrest of the chair was carefully designed.
My wife likes to read books, and using this curved backrest seat can relieve the pressure on her lower back.
Xu Hui and Xiao Wu also spend half a day doing exercises and classes every day. Zhang Yang put his hands under his neck and looked at the eaves of his home. The eaves were very wide and the edges of the eaves were very smooth.
“The house you built yourself is still more beautiful.”
"As long as your husband no longer wants to build a hut next to the bedroom, our new home will be very pleasant to live in." Li Yue cut the thread, looked at the stitched clothes and called: "Qing'er, come and try on the clothes. "Xiao Qingqing then walked out of the house and let her mother change her coat.
Li Yue looked at it.
"The hem of the skirt is a bit short, so let's wear it like this for now." Her little hand held the corner of her mother's clothes.
"Mom, I can't do the puzzle well." Li Yue put the needle and thread into the box and said with a smile: "Okay, mom will help you." Zhang Yang drank tea and looked at the still empty Huaqing Pond and the olive tree planted two years ago. The tree is still not growing well. It is really not adapted to the climate and the soil. It seems that it will not grow taller in the future.
The words of the daughter-in-law and daughter came from inside the house.
"Mom, Grandma Wang and Grandma Yang said that I will have younger brothers and sisters in the future?"
"That's all for the future."
"When..." Although the child's learning ability is somewhat poor, and her speech is somewhat unclear at the age of one, fortunately she is very lively, and lively children will not be too stupid in the future.
The Grandma Wang and Grandma Yang she was talking about were Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang. She calls Xu Hui and Xiao Wu sister.
"Mom, why do I have so many uncles and aunts?"
"If you want to be sensible in the future, you must learn etiquette." The child, Tong Yanwuji, has seven uncles and eleven aunts... If you want to know where so many relatives come from, you have to ask Li Shimin, who has such a big family. , there will be some troubles and worries in the future.
A child with seven uncles is enough for his daughter to walk around Chang'an City.
