A green-clothed official came up with a red square tray and placed several cups of tea in front of Li Xuan, Qiu Zhenmu and Yu Ze.
"This is Shugang tea produced in Shugang, Jiangdu. The tea is sweet and fragrant, almost like a cup of tea." Sima Changyu introduced Shugang tea to Li Xuan with a smile.
"It's almost like Mengding." Li Xuan looked a little surprised. Mengding Stone Flower is also ranked among the top famous teas in the Tang Dynasty.
If Shugang tea can be compared with Mengding tea, it is probably good.
Li Xuan looked down and saw that the soup was clear and slightly yellow in color, clear and bright, and when she tasted it carefully, it tasted fresh, rich and sweet.
"Yes, it's not much worse than the Mengding Stone Flower brewed by the cold spring under the moon." Li Xuan sighed with emotion.
Few people know that tea brewing actually started as early as the Three Kingdoms period.
It's just that it's only spread among Taoist Taoist priests. After all, Taoism is pure.
Among the dignitaries, there are also people who brew tea, but it is extremely rare, but there is a record in the annotation of "Guang Ya".
Nowadays, what is more popular is soaking and soaking tea.
"Please give me some love, Mr. Dou. Xiao Wang has always enjoyed tea. When he returns to the divine capital in the future, he will be able to entertain relatives and friends." Li Xuan smiled and handed over his hand.
"Of course." Dou Xuande looked at Yu Ze and Qiu Zhenmu who were sitting behind Li Xuan, and finally his eyes fell on Qiu Zhenmu: "I heard that the former Zuo Jinwu Wei Zhonglang will serve as the governor of the Shezhou Governor's Palace. Why didn’t nephew Qiu Xian go to Shezhou with him?”
Qiu Zhenmu's face changed slightly, but he still replied respectfully: "I am subordinate to Zuo Qianniuwei in my humble position, and I was ordered to accompany Zhonglang on official business in Wuzhou."
At this time, Li Xuan took the opportunity to intervene: "Young Weng Dou doesn't know. Although your Majesty has relieved the junior from the post of Shang Yao Feng Yu, he still retains the post of Inspector Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang. This time he went to Wuzhou mainly because of the The remnants of Chen Shuozhen’s gang have resurfaced, and Your Majesty has the mandate to eliminate them completely.”
At this point, Li Xuan paused and looked straight at Dou Xuande. However, Dou Xuande's face did not change at all. He just lowered his head to sip the tea, seemingly without any change.
Li Xuan sneered in her heart and said, "However, the rebellious remnant party is just a small case of scabies, and it will never become a problem after all."
"That's good. If you need any help, please ask the King of Nanchang to ask." Dou Xuande looked at Li Xuan with a smile at this time.
"Of course." Li Xuan immediately followed and said, "Now there is really something that I need to trouble Dou Weng."
Dou Xuande's eyes couldn't help but change slightly, but then he continued to smile and said: "King of Nanchang, please speak, but if you can help me, Dou will never refuse."
"That's very good." Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I heard that in the early years, the former Sui Chao Yuanfang was born in Yangzhou. I wonder if his descendants still exist today. Xiao Wang wants to go for medical treatment. Recently, For some reason, this head always hurts inexplicably,"
"Headache?" Dou Xuande was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Headache, could it be..."
Before he finished speaking, Dou Xuande suddenly became aware.
Li Xuan was not seeking medical treatment for herself. She was obviously seeking medical treatment for the emperor.
Li Zhi's rheumatic disease has been treated by countless famous doctors for many years, but it has never been completely cured. He is patient and has to find new medicines. ….
Chao Yuanfang, former imperial physician of the Sui Dynasty, was responsible for the compilation of "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases".
However, since the demise of the former Sui Dynasty, Chao Yuanfang has disappeared.
It's just that he is from Yangzhou, and some traces of him may be found in Yangzhou.
Of course, Chao Yuanfang is probably dead. If he is still alive, according to records, he should be 125 years old now.
Dou Xuande's face suddenly became serious. If he talked about other things, he could shirk it, but if Dou Xuande hesitated even a little bit to help the emperor find medicine to treat wind disease, his loyalty would immediately be doubted.
Over the years, it is not that Dou Xuande has never looked for famous doctors in Yangzhou, but it is a pity that it is difficult to gain anything, so he has only slacked off a little in recent years.
Li Xuan now mentioned that Dou Xuande had to send people to assist him no matter what. The emperor's wind disease was a matter of the highest rank in the world.
Been here
In the process, if Li Xuan takes the opportunity to do something else, he can't refuse.
Dou Xuande took a deep look at Li Xuan, and then said: "At this time, Chang Sima will fully assist, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Dou Weng is interested. His Majesty is in good health. This is the common hope of all officials in the government and the public. This is the case for Xiao Wang, and the same is true for Dou Weng Ding," Li Xuan replied with a smile, and Dou Xuande's face immediately relaxed.
Then Dou Xuande asked: "I wonder how many days the prince will stay in Yangzhou?"
"Three days. After three days, Xiao Wang will set off for Runzhou to visit the governor of Runzhou, Duke Lai. Then he will rush to Changzhou to visit the governor of Changzhou, Duke Shen. Then he will go to Yuezhou to visit the governor of Yuezhou, Duke Duan, and then return via Hangzhou. Wuzhou." Li Xuan lightly tossed out a series of names.
When he heard Li Xuan talking about Duan Baoxuan, the governor of Yuezhou, Dou Xuande finally changed his expression, then squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xuan: "The prince has visited so many people."
For Dou Xuande, Duan Baoxuan, the governor of Yuezhou, was the one who really cared about him.
The reason for this is that although Dou Xuande is the third-grade governor of Yangzhou, for people like them, the governor of Yangzhou seems to be valuable, but it is far away from the center, and anyone with ambitions will keep an eye on it. .
If you want to go further, it is best to return to the imperial court and serve as the Minister of the Six Ministries, then as the Minister of Pingzhang, and then as the chief official of the three provinces.
However, in the world, most governors, governors, governors of Shangzhou, ministers of nine temples, five supervisors, etc., do not know how difficult it is for ordinary people to take a step forward.
Yuezhou is the closest to Wuzhou. No, Wuzhou is under the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion.
If something happens in Wuzhou, it is the responsibility of the Yuezhou Governor's Office.
It was because Fang Renyu arrived in Wuzhou one step ahead of time and dealt with Chen Shuozhen's rebellion against the party that he was promoted to imperial censor.
If his life had not been too short, it would have been common for him to be promoted to prime minister, not to mention that Fang Renyu's granddaughter is now the princess...
Tianyin teaches this big cake, and countless greedy people want to cut the biggest piece from it, but if you have more, he will have less.
Especially as you get to the top, there is very little room to move. If he takes up the position, you will not have it.
Li Xuan looked at Dou Xuande with a stern face and said softly: "Dou Weng, Xiao Wang is just always prepared. It is always good to be more prepared for things like today."….
Every piece on the chessboard has value, but you have to find out where your value lies.
In this way, you can firmly grasp the direction of your actions when trading with others.
"The King of Nanchang is indeed extraordinary. I understand, but I still need to think more about this matter." Dou Xuande still did not directly agree to Li Xuan's proposal. Li Xuan was not surprised at all.
Now, the people who are staring at this piece of cake have already started secretly planning and colluding with each other for some time.
Dou Xuande naturally has his own set of arrangements. The final decision can only be weighed by him.
"Dou Weng has the trust of His Majesty and has great power and responsibility. Yangzhou, a prosperous place in the world, will always arouse the jealousy of people. Sometimes, if you don't take the initiative to find someone, he will come to you on his own. Dou Weng, Yangzhou You still need to be cautious." Li Xuan suddenly changed the topic, her words seemed to be hinting at something.
"Of course." Dou Xuande took a deep look at Li Xuan and said with deep meaning; "Although Yangzhou is prosperous, the wind is strong and the waves are rough, so the prince also needs to be cautious."
"Thank you Dou Weng for your advice, Xiao Wang will take it to heart." A hint of amusement flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and she nodded without missing a trace.
It seems that Dou Xuande also knows many things.
It is not surprising that the Tianyin Sect targets Yangzhou. Compared with Yuezhou, Yangzhou is the foundation of the emperor.
Although the southeast has become prosperous in recent years, the political and economic center of the world is still in the Heluo area.
Even if the Tianyin Sect occupied Jiangnan, it would be in a corner at most and would have no future.
Capture Yangzhou, control the southeast, and go north along the canal. You can directly penetrate Heluo at any time and control the world. This is the foundation of the emperor.
Dou Xuande has been the governor of Yangzhou for many years, which is not easy. He has long noticed the Tianyin Sect's manipulations in Yangzhou.
But just like Li Xuan, Dou Xuande was letting them go, trying to get more Tianyin Sect forces to gather in Yangzhou so that he could annihilate them all in one fell swoop and achieve greater feats.
As for what some people want to win over, it is simply impossible. How can it be easy for the Dou family, the top family of relatives in the Tang Dynasty.
The Dou family and the Li family have been deeply bound for a long time. Over the years, from Emperor Gaozu to Emperor Taizong, there have been four princesses married into the Dou family, and countless princesses and county owners.
Not to mention, even leaving aside Queen Taimu, there are countless women from the Dou family who have married into the clan named Li.
What can the Tianyin Sect give Dou Xuande? Maybe they didn't really put much effort into Dou Xuande from the beginning.
What they really care about is others.
Someone who has the opportunity to threaten Dou Xuande.
Who is this person? .
