"What's the whole story? What's the whole story? Everyone is dead, the prisoner has been captured, and the case in Dali Temple has been closed."
Xu Jingzong looked at him angrily. The boy looked more and more annoying.
Di Renjie also moved in the luggage and baggage from outside the door of the Diplomatic Academy, and even bedding.
He laughed playfully: "Xu Shangshu, my father said that the distance from Chang'an City to the Hexi Corridor is long, and it is even colder after winter. He wants me to spend the winter in Chang'an City and then return to the Hexi Corridor."
Xu Jingzong looked at him and worried about how uncomfortable it would be to cram a child into this busy yard.
Di Renjie looked around and was very satisfied with this place. He then said, "Xu Shangshu, where can I sleep?"
Xu Jingzong puffed his beard and shouted, "I didn't say I wanted to keep you!"
"If Xu Shangshu cannot keep the boy, the boy will have to go to the Marquis of Lishan County to see if the county Marquis will keep the boy for the winter."
"Wait a minute!" Xu Jingzong suddenly called him and looked down at the boy, "Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. This is a very busy place and no one will take care of you. If you get into trouble, I will still kick you out. go out."
"Here." Di Renjie saluted gracefully.
Then, as a matter of course, he carried his bags and went to the backyard to find a room and a bed.
Seeing this, Xu Jingzong scratched his head in distress, "Why do you have to deal with such a kid? Everything has not been going your way lately. It's really weird."
There were many contacts between Lishan and the Hexi Corridor. Di Zhisun made great contributions to the Ministry of Rites, and even more to Lishan.
If the county prince finds out that I, Xu Jingzong, refuses to help even with this little thing, how can I stand in front of the county prince in the future?
He gritted his teeth and agreed to this.
Don't look at Di Renjie's well-behaved appearance now, he is just a little bastard, how can it be unreasonable!
You should threaten me at a young age, but it will be a big deal when you grow up.
Di Renjie found a separate empty house with a clean bed. He wisely put down all the books and daily utensils.
Then, Di Renjie walked up to Xu Jingzong, who had an old face.
"What do you need? Just tell the clerk here. Three meals a day won't make you hungry."
Di Renjie added: "I heard from Xu Shangshu that the Foreign Affairs Commission is very busy, and I can help organize documents from various places. This is how I helped my father in the Hexi Corridor before."
Xu Jingzong led him to the second floor of the Diplomatic Academy and found Zhang Dasu's room, "Brother Dasu."
Zhang Dashu was still looking at a map outside the customs and nodded: "Xu Shangshu, has the case been investigated clearly?"
"Well, I found out that it has nothing to do with our Ministry of Etiquette."
As he spoke, he brought Di Renjie in, "This guy can help you with things from now on, sorting out files and documents."
Zhang Dasu smiled and said, "Are you Di Zhisun's son?"
"Young man Di Renjie has met Mr. Zhang, just call him Mr. Renjie."
"Well, Renjie." Zhang Dashu continued to look at the map without raising his head, and then pointed to the pile of files on the side, "Those are the tribal files of the Uighurs and Xueyantuo people, as well as the population numbers of each place. You will They’re sorted and sorted.”
"Here."
Di Renjie walked aside and began to tidy up.
Xu Jingzong stood at the door and observed that it was really impressive. He stepped forward to check out of curiosity and found that the classification was correct.
Di Renjie suddenly raised his head and whispered: "Xu Shangshu, I have figured it out."
"Have you figured out that you want to go back to the Hexi Corridor?"
"No! I have figured out why the Tibetan people did this."
Di Renjie continued: "On the day Xiao Zanpu left, the Tianzhu envoy's body was discovered. It will take time for the court to trace it. Xiao Zanpu knows very well that with the ability of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, it will not take three to five days to find out."
"Because there are not many people from the Western Regions in Chang'an City, and if you check the records of the post house, you will know who left and when they came back."
"The thing is what little Zampu did. He left early and bought three fast horses, just to give himself enough opportunities to return to Tubo, and also left someone to shoulder the blame. This time Datang and Dashi In starting the war, the Tubo people hoped that the Tang Dynasty and the Tianzhu people would be at odds with each other, and that the Tubo people would take advantage of this opportunity to profit from it."
Xu Jingzong said calmly: "Do you still need to tell me? The ministers had already thought of countermeasures yesterday."
Di Renjie became quiet again, and he whispered: "Xu Shangshu, I heard that your Majesty has discovered an auspicious thing?"
"Yes, Zhenguan Melon."
Xu Jingzong replied weakly.
Di Renjie raised his head and grinned, "I want to try it, kid."
Xu Jingzong put the file back to its original position, "This melon...only exists in Lishan."
"Then the boy will go to Lishan..."
"Shut up!" Xu Jingzong's forehead was throbbing with veins. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll just go to Lishan to get it for you."
"Thank you, Minister."
Little devil! little monster! Little bastard...
Xu Jingzong left Chang'an City while cursing and called a taxi to Lishan Mountain.
At this moment, the whole village of Lishan is holding a pumpkin feast. The scent of pumpkins is wafting up and people can smell it as soon as they stand at the entrance of the village.
Xu Jingzong did not dare to alarm Zhang Yang, but after wandering at the entrance of the village for a long time, he finally saw a fat figure.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei!"
The figure stopped when he heard the sound, turned around and walked over, "Xu Jingzong? Are you here to see Zhang Yang?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is laughing. This official is not here to see the county prince. He wants to come to Lishan to get a Zhenguan melon."
It was not easy to see Xu Jingzong, so Li Tai asked his entourage to hand him two pumpkins and a small package of pumpkin cakes.
"In order to save it easily, the leftovers we couldn't finish were made into pumpkin cakes. Originally they were going to be given to the Long Wu Army, so I gave them to you two."
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Wei."
"Oh, my father is really...a pumpkin is a pumpkin, and it must be called a Zhenguan Melon."
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Tai suddenly said, "I almost forgot, has Di Zhisun's son arrived in Chang'an City?"
Xu Jingzong nodded and said with a smile: "The official has already met him. He is a very alert child."
"Well, Di Zhisun from Hexi Corridor sent a letter about this matter. My brother-in-law thought it would be a good idea to let you take care of him."
Li Tai warned, and then asked: "How old is that boy?"
"Ten...eleven years old."
Xu Jingzong replied hesitantly, his face also looking bitter.
Li Tai couldn't help but nodded and said: "I heard he is a very talented child. Please take care of him."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Xu Jingzong smiled even harder.
Li Taiyi looked at Xu Jingzong. They had eaten tea eggs together in the Ministry of Rites back then. When he thought that a child as upright as Di Renjie was asked to hang out with Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, he always felt a little uneasy.
Seeing him nodding and smiling apologetically, Li Tai stopped talking, shook his head and left with a sigh.
Unexpectedly, Di Zhisun had already sent a letter to Lishan first. Xu Jingzong felt that there were fewer chances to get rid of the little bastard now.
In Chang'an City, Diplomatic Academy, Di Renjie was in the backyard asking about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites in the past few years with the officials here.
Especially when I heard the scene where Zhang Shangshu scolded His Majesty in front of Songtsen Gampo.
Di Renjie always feels excited.
Xu Jingzong brought the pumpkin and pumpkin pie to the backyard of the Diplomatic Academy with a pale face.
"I should go to Lishan with Xu Shangshu. I also want to meet the county prince." As he spoke, Di Renjie stepped forward, took out a pumpkin cake from his bag and was eating it.
Xu Jingzong stared at him and saw that he was eating so peacefully. He also took out a pumpkin pie and sat down to eat it. It tasted quite good.
It's sweet and a little chewy.
While eating, a woman's figure walked into the nursing home of the Ministry of Rites.
"Bitch thief! Come out here!"
Hearing this angry shout, Xu Jingzong's scalp tightened and he looked at his mother-in-law Pei in disbelief.
"Well, Xu Jingzong! I have been taking care of your family affairs for you, but you still have a bastard outside?"
Xu Jingzong swallowed the pumpkin cake in his mouth with force and hurriedly stepped forward, "Mother, please listen to my explanation."
She pointed at Di Renjie and said, "Where did this kid come from? Did you really raise an outside wife?"
"He is Dickson's son!"
Xu Jingzong explained loudly.
If anyone can listen, they will fight Xu Jingzong with a stick.
Fortunately, many officials from the Ministry of Rites protected Xu Shangshu.
It's no wonder that Xu Jingzong has been too busy in the past two years and often lives in the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Rites.
Even a mother-in-law would wonder if her man had an extramarital affair.
Xu Jingzong is hard to tell.
Fortunately, Di Renjie took the initiative to explain to Pei.
Under the boy's few words, Pei actually smiled.
Xu Jingzong slapped her. It turned out that it was not a dream. This tough woman actually had such a gentle side.
Di Renjie looks good, with a cute, chubby face and a sweet voice.
Mr. Pei liked him so much that he almost recognized him as his son.
Nemesis! Xu Jingzong thought to himself that this Di Renjie must be the nemesis of a certain family.
After Mr. Pei left with satisfaction, Di Renjie stepped forward and said, "Xu Shangshu, I'm hungry."
Xu Jingzong looked at him warily, "Didn't you just eat pumpkin?"
"I also want to eat persimmons, mutton, millet rice..."
No wonder I always feel like everything is not going as I want these days. It turns out that such a nemesis has arrived in Chang'an City.
Xu Jingzong called Li Yifu by the way and found a restaurant for this little nemesis.
Li Yifu saw this boy eating and drinking so much that he whispered: "Xu Shangshu?"
Xu Jingzong rubbed his forehead. He had just received a blow from his mother-in-law, and it was still aching. He looked unhappy and said, "Say?"
"How long has it been since Di Renjie had eaten?"
Xu Jingzong wished he could send this little nemesis away.
Di Renjie heard clearly, so he took a sip of the mutton soup and said, "I have lived in the Hexi Corridor for a long time and haven't eaten Guanzhong food for a long time. I'm thinking about finally coming back, so naturally I want to eat everything."
The little nemesis burped happily and finished the soup in the bowl.
Xu Jingzong asked again: "Have you done all the things Da Su asked you to do?"
"Well, Mr. Zhang told me to see and see more by myself. He also said that he would teach me to learn foreign languages and languages tonight."
After a few days like this, Xu Jingzong was surprised to find that besides himself, he hated this little nemesis.
Everyone in the etiquette department likes this little nemesis, and even Zhang Xiangxiang, who is usually taciturn, is willing to lead him to do things.
Lishan, His Majesty wants to change the name of the pumpkin to Zhenguan Melon. It's up to him.
Zhang Yang spread out all the washed pumpkin seeds and let them dry.
News from Chang'an City continued to be sent to Lishan. After learning that Tianzhu Xiao Zanpu had left Chang'an City, the body of the Tianzhu envoy was discovered.
Songtsen Gampo was a man with the demeanor of a king and a generous person.
But this little Zamp's behavior seems much more sinister.
When Gongri Gongzan came to Lishan with more than ten yaks, he seemed to be a very honest and polite child.
I didn't expect that he could do such a thing in Chang'an City.
Zhang Yang whispered: "People who are good at pretending are difficult to deal with."
Aunt Yang hurriedly came to Li Yue with a roll of paper, "Your Highness, this is sent by Taoist Priest Yuan Tiangang."
Li Yue took the paper and looked at it with a frown, "Taoist Master Yuan made a mistake in his calculation. He shouldn't have calculated it this way."
She turned the paper over, rummaged through her husband's toolbox, took out a compass, and began to draw a circle, latitude, longitude, and coordinates.
After a while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She rerolled the paper and handed it to her aunt, saying, "Give it to the person who sent it."
Aunt Yang left in a hurry.
Zhang Yang was sitting by the Huaqing Pool, repairing his daughter's bicycle, and whispered: "How would Taoist Yuan feel if he found out that you solved the problem he had been thinking about in less than an hour?"
Hearing this, Li Yue pursed her lips and smiled, regained her serious expression, and whispered: "This is nothing, my husband's derivative question is more difficult than this."
Yes, my daughter-in-law’s current level of mathematics makes it difficult to teach her anything.
And her realm of numerology also stagnated for a long time.
Zhang Yang tried the pedal of the bicycle, removed it and replaced it with a gear.
Li Zhi passed by on his skateboard. After a while, he skated over again.
After going back and forth like this for several times, Zhang Yang finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, it's impolite to keep wandering in front of others."
Li Zhi then stopped and walked over with his skateboard in his arms: "Who is Di Renjie?"
"As old as His Royal Highness Prince Jin, he is Di Zhisun's child."
"Is he great?"
Zhang Yang still tried the gears and chains. Since the workmanship could not reach a very fine level, the chains were also made wider.
"Brother-in-law?"
After regaining his composure, Zhang Yang whispered: "When he was in the Hexi Corridor, he started to help Di Zhisun handle various affairs, and he was able to arrange them properly. Di Zhisun's letter meant that he hoped that he would stay in Chang'an City. Get some experience and don’t let me take too much care of him.”
Li Zhi asked in a low voice: "How about compared with me?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Everyone has his own strengths. Di Zhisun has not been exposed to the knowledge of Lishan. In terms of the knowledge of Lishan, he is not as good as His Highness the King of Jin."
Li Zhi curiously asked: "What about Li Shan's knowledge?"
The kid seemed to be looking for a blow. Zhang Yang finally put the chain on the gear and tried to see if the pedal could rotate normally.
Then he took off his gloves and washed his hands by the Huaqing Pool.
Noticing Li Zhi's attitude of asking questions, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "I haven't seen him before, so I don't know very well."
"Then I want to meet him."
