Chapter 702: The hatred will be repaid to Xu Jingzong(1/2)
"Slow down!" Li Tai said in surprise: "Why is this king?"
Zhang Yang said calmly: "Only when His Highness the King of Wei comes forward, can people be discouraged and no longer let outsiders get involved in this matter, and can the matter end here."
Li Tai gave the guards around him a look and asked them to do business.
Zhang Yang took the two skewers of grilled mutton that Li Tai had just grilled and returned to Mount Li. When he arrived on the mountain, he handed the two skewers of grilled mutton to his daughter, "Eat quickly, don't let your mother discover it."
Xiao Qingqing sat on the bear's back, eating roasted lamb, and kept nodding.
Seeing that she was eating deliciously, her daughter-in-law didn't let her daughter eat too much barbecue, so she kept supporting her these days.
Zhang Yang instructed again: "Remember to wipe your mouth clean after eating and don't be discovered."
Xiao Qingqing was chewing the mutton in her mouth, unable to speak, but could only nod.
When she walked to the door of her house, there was a white cloth hanging in front of Li Yue. She held a scroll in one hand and a pen in the other. She took a deep breath and frowned and finally started writing.
After understanding some star calendars, she had the plan to write an annual calendar.
The tip of the pen fell on this wide white cloth, and the calendar was written from the 26th day of Xinwei and the fifth year of Zhenguan.
Her book is full of records of her daily nightly viewing of stars and sunshine at high angles for the past three years.
In fact, Li Yue's algorithm is very simple. She started by understanding this method and found two fixed hours every day, watched the stars at that time, and kept records.
After two years of precipitation, the writing has finally begun.
As her eyes opened and closed, there was a light that saw through the essence of things, and her blue clothes moved with the wind.
As her eyes flashed, she thought and thought. After a while, half of the white cloth was written, her brushwork was steady, and the regular script was neat, and she wrote another feeling in her hand.
On the afternoon of that day, His Highness King Wei's guards sent silver cakes to Hongwenguan, saying that they were silver money for the rebuilding of Hongwenguan. At present, the dilapidated Hongwenguan finally had silver money repairs.
Everyone knows that His Highness, the King of Wei, has been living in Mount Li for a long time and follows the Marquis of Mount Li all day long. The palace says that Mount Li is also treating His Highness the King of Wei.
The speculations are often another saying that His Highness, the King of Wei, did not treat his illness, but was hanging with the Marquis of Lishan County all day long.
Since His Highness of the King of Wei came forward, Li Chengqian walked out of the East Palace and went to Hongwenguan to appease the officials, and then went to meet Xu Jingzong.
The matter lasted for three or five days, and this matter ended with Xu Jingzong's reputation of revenge.
On Mount Li, after the autumn rain, a heavy fog came to Guanzhong.
When the family got up early, Zhang Yang also sorted out the calendar compiled by his wife in the library, and placed it according to the solar terms and months. A volume of almanacs was completed.
This is the result of the past half month.
There was heavy fog in Guanzhong. Zhang Yang walked out of the library. The fog on the mountain was quite faint. Standing on the mountain and looking down at the mountain, there was silence, and the thick fog blocked the whole picture of the village.
Looking around, the thick fog at the foot of the mountain seemed to be churning, and you could see the ups and downs of the fog.
Before his younger brother and sister woke up, Zhang Yang took out a belt from the workshop, with all kinds of tools hanging on it. Guanzhong has been in October, and it is time to repair the greenhouse well.
This year's greenhouses are still needed. By mid-October, the cold air outside the border will enter Guanzhong from the northwest. The greenhouse must be rebuilt before mid-month to cultivate vegetable seedlings to be planted in the spring of the following year.
When the sun breaks through the clouds and fog and shines on this world, the thick fog also drifts away.
Xiao Qingqing sat on the bear's back, staring at the wonder of the fog slowly dissipating in the village, her eyes full of curiosity.
The bear's eyes were not very good. It even looked at the greenhouse, and its eyes seemed to be saying, "Look at what you gave birth to?" It has been raising it for three years and is still so young."
The bear became more and more humane. Zhang Yang knocked nails on the wooden stand in the greenhouse, intending to slaughter the bear before it became a spirit.
It was already late autumn in Guanzhong and winter was about to begin. At this time, a team of soldiers came from the east. The number of soldiers was not large, only more than 2,000.
Leading the army was a young man wearing a round neckline and a scorching official robe. The man rode his horse in front and slowly approached Chang'an City.
This person is nothing else, but Zhang Da'an, who has been to Liaodong for three years.
The two brothers Zhang Daxiang and Zhang Dasu were waiting at the city gate early. Because they waited early, they learned that Da'an arrived in Chang'an City today, so they waited here early before the fog had dissipated.
At this time, both of them were wet.
When he arrived in front of the city, Zhang Da'an turned over and dismounted, "I have met two brothers."
Zhang Daxiang quickly helped his younger brother up, looked at Dasu around him, and then looked at Da'an, "The three of us are reunited again."
Zhang Dasu also smiled heartily.
"When I went to Liaodong, I was alone, but now I have come back and brought two thousand soldiers. It's really not easy." Zhang Daxiang patted his younger brother's shoulders, "From the future, I will serve as the Minister of Rites. The three of us are officials together and in the Ministry of Rites."
Zhang Daan bowed to his brother, said something else in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, is the Ministry of Rites okay?"
"Ministry of Rites..."
Seeing that his second brother Zhang Da was in a hurry to speak, he stopped.
Zhang Daan frowned and wondered, "Is there any change?"
Zhang Daxiang explained: "A lot of things happened in Chang'an in the past three years. Zhang Yang, the Minister of Rites, has lived in Mount Li for a long time and does not ask about political affairs. He is now in Mount Li. He is now serving as the Minister of Taifu Temple and is busy with farming. The Minister of Rites is Xu Jingzong."
Upon hearing this, Da'an said again: "If Xu Jingzong can be promoted to the Minister of Rites and not allow the court to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, there must be many twists and turns."
"It's not too much to say, there are also twists and turns, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words." Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "You have lost weight and are much more stable than you were back then. Let's go back... and go to the Ministry of Rites to see His Majesty before you talk about these things."
Zhang Da'an nodded.
Li Yifu stood behind the three brothers. His eyes looked at the Chang'an City that had been missing for a long time, and he felt deeply moved. He took the initiative to go to Goguryeo for his career. Now he hopes that Xu Jingzong will not break his promise when he comes back.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The morning court just ended, Zhang Da'an and Li Yifu walked into the Zhuque Gate and saw the busy scene of the imperial city.
Xu Jingzong stood at the entrance of the ceremony department and saw the visitor whispering: "Zhang Da'an, Li Yifu will go with me to see Your Majesty."
The two bowed together and followed the Minister Xu to the Ganlu Palace.
In the Ganlu Hall, Changsun Wuji was talking to His Majesty about arrangements for Zhechong Mansions in various places in winter.
When he heard the eunuch outside the hall report that Xu Jingzong had arrived, Changsun Wuji's face became a little gloomy. Because of the Hongwenguan incident, it was not so easy for the two of them to have old and new accounts.
Seeing this change of expression, Li Shimin did not speak, but took out a look at the show and said in a deep voice: "Let me come in and let me see the heroes who have recovered Goguryeo."
Xu Jingzong took Zhang Da'an and Li Yi's mansion into Ganlu Hall.
Along the way, Li Yifu kept his posture very low. This was the first time he wanted to meet Tian Khan. When he entered the imperial examination, he was just a small civil servant in the school, but now he can meet Tian Khan.
This is a great honor that many people have never been able to obtain for many years. Their body shape can't help but tremble and their hearts are full of passion.
Xu Jingzong explained: "Your Majesty is Zhang Da'an, the Minister of Rites. He is good at planning, dispatching troops, crossing the river to attack Goguryeo, and rescuing Zhang Da'an of the envoy Li Yi's mansion."
Xu Jingzong deliberately raised his tone a little while speaking. Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside him, was dripping with a gloomy face. This villain was clearly seeking credit and reward. Who knew that all this was Zhang Yang's plan, and Zhang Yang prepared all of this in advance.
What does it have to do with him, Xu Jingzong? This villain actually said so well. He is really a villain. He is just a pick-up of his wisdom and credit.
Xu Jingzong also introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the envoy of the Ministry of Rites who went to Goguryeo alone to go to Goguryeo to envoy."
Zhang Da'an saluted with Li Yi's mansion and bowed in unison: "Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, "It is said that heroes are young. After this hard work, Zhang Da'an was originally the descendant of Zou Guogong Zhang Gongjin. He has been granted the title of Minister of Rites. I have given you the right to report straight to political affairs and be appointed as Minister of the Honglu Temple."
"Li Yifu entered the imperial examination and was born in poverty but also studied hard to participate in the imperial examination. Although you were not very good at asking for an imperial examination, you were able to go to Goguryeo alone and take back the corpses of the former Sui soldiers. You were given the title of Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple and served as the Fengyi Lang."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them bowed and thanked each other again.
Changsun Wuji glanced sideways at Zhang Da'an and Li Yi's mansions, then withdrew his gaze and stood still.
Li Shimin calmed down again, "Although Goguryeo is recovered, it still needs to be managed. Can the construction of the Andong Protectorate's Office be arranged?"
Zhang Da'an handed over a memorial, "Your Majesty, this is the supervision of the Anton Protectorate's Office arranged by me."
The eunuch on the side took the memorial and handed it to His Majesty.
Li Shimin took a look first, then said, "You go back first, I will send you to your official position later."
"I'm going to leave." Xu Jingzong saluted first, and everyone left the Ganlu Hall.
Outside the hall, Li Yifu followed Xu Jingzong's footsteps, "Thank you, Secretary Xu, for your arrangement, and the officials were lucky enough to advance."
Xu Jingzong nodded slightly.
Li Yifu continued to follow, "It was Xiaguan who heard about what happened in Hongwenguan. In Xiaguan's opinion, Changsun Wuji is indeed a bastard. Such an old and uncultured person is also a despicable move. Xiaguan is willing to share the same hatred with Xu Shangshu."
"Duke Zhao is also for the country, so you must not get along with him." Xu Jingzong glared at him first.
Li Yifu smiled and lowered his head.
After tidying up his sleeves, Xu Jingzong glanced at Zhang Da'an again, "You two have seen His Majesty now, and I will go to see the county marquis with me in the afternoon."
Li Yifu became more and more happy. He was awarded the title of the fifth rank official and was also the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. How could he not be excited if he could still be a county marquis.
The two of them had to prepare and go to Mount Li after noon.
Li Yifu planned to have a good meal in Chang'an City, and Zhang Da'an had just obtained the official position of Honglu Temple, and both brothers were busy unable to separate themselves. They had not returned to Chang'an City for a long time and planned to see where they had been to before.
After three years, the ups and downs in Liaodong have once again come to my mind.
I remembered my brother’s explanation at Qujiangchi, and I just thought it was to go out for training.
Just as Zhang Da'an looked at the East Palace and recalled the years and the days of the past and was playing in the East Palace, Prince Li Chengqian walked out of the East Palace.
Li Chengqian has now also grown a beard, two strands of beard under his nose, and some goatee on his chin. He looks much more stable than before and has a bit more majestic.
Zhang Da'an saluted and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
