Chapter 64: Mysterious Jizi

In a world of lies, what we need is not liars, but stupid people.

Li is very smart, but this time she is very stupid because she likes such spells or tricks.

Her senior brother has been cheating since he came to Chang'an. However, because Chang'an was just built, Taoists and Buddhists have not yet fully formed a faction system, and since ancient times, most of the similar tricks came from Taoists.

, so he quickly found a market and lived in Qingniu Temple. Although Qingniu Temple is a royal Taoist temple, it has been somewhat defeated in recent years, so when he meets such a person, he immediately becomes a guest of honor.

Before Ye Tan came to Chang'an, this mystery had been performed to Li Shimin, and he was astonished. If it weren't for the fact that the country had just been established and there were too many things to deal with, this person would definitely get a good title, plus countless

of rewards.

However, this person has fallen into Li Shimin's heart. He will appear from time to time, and then spend the rest of the time practicing in Qingniu Temple.

He has black hair, an exquisite Taoist robe, and his appearance is quite distinctive. His face is a bit long, but it doesn’t look like a horse’s face. His skin is fair, and his eyes are as clear as lacquer. If such a person walks on the street and says "Infinite Life"

Buddha, no one would say that such people are experts and masters.

However, Xuanjizi still brought a lot of benefits to Qingniu Temple. Part of the rewards given by the emperor were used for repairing the Taoist temple, and a considerable part was used for Xuanjizi's expenses. After having a full meal, they also

We need some girls to come over for a weekend break, but Xuanjizi is also a scheming person, and he has no intention of using those vulgar fans.

In the eyes of these people, the man who married a princess in the Han Dynasty was considered a great person. This was their purpose. How could they be satisfied with just a little money and a little status?

Li Shaojun is their ultimate goal, or Luan Da is such a person.

He must be handsome and have a little bit of magic at the same time.

Especially for emperors with strong desires, such people are simply specially prepared for these people. In fact, those little tricks, the person who is best at these little tricks is Dongfang Shuo. Unfortunately, this guy has something wrong, that is, he is too smart but

He was also a bit unserious, and in the end, he became just a plaything. He was actually a man of great wisdom, but in the end he was not as good as a man who could play tricks on others.

Therefore, later generations summarized what should be done based on their experiences, and then everyone deceived the emperor together. This is the so-called specialization in the arts.

The people Li sent were all good-looking people. Otherwise, she was worried about scaring him. As for why Xuanjizi was her senior brother, there was a story in it, that is, she was under Xuanjizi

I helped him when he was at his lowest.

When he first arrived in Chang'an, Xuanjizi was a little overwhelmed. He had no money and no other skills, so he could only make a living by telling people's fortunes. However, his fortune-telling was not very accurate. Later, he simply said that he was not suitable for weighing the lives of ordinary people.

, it requires someone with the order of a noble, so I got to know Mr. Li in a daze.

After his constant interpretation, Li, a person who was very interested in witchcraft and other things, hooked up with him. Later, as the mystery slowly became more apparent, she became more convinced that she had originally

Of course, the meaning of being converted into an immortal was because Zhang Liang was a general, so Xuanjizi didn't dare to go too far. He just said that this Li was his junior sister, and they just met their master many years ago to teach him, but he was

Three hundred years ago, and she is a disciple three hundred years later.

Li did meet an old Taoist priest who taught her some skills and then disappeared. He might have starved to death or was beaten to death, but in Li's eyes, he was just a Taoist priest.

He has become an immortal, and the reason why he met me is to teach him these immortal skills.

Although Qingniu Temple is a Taoist temple with a cow, it has a good location. It is halfway up the mountain and the scenery is excellent. Although there are still many places that are relatively shabby, if you can, it is absolutely comfortable to sit there and watch the scenery.

Xuanjizi is in a wing on the east side. He is rarely seen outside. People who don’t know him think he is practicing Taoism. But if you see him, you will find that the boy who helps him take care of his daily life is an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

girl.

The housekeeper arrived at the door and knocked on the door and said, "Master, my wife asked me to inform you that a man named Songzhou Hou Yetan has offended her. I hope master can help."

"Zhuo, let's go." Xuan Jizi's words were very short, like a stutter. After finishing speaking, the housekeeper left.

After waiting for a while, Xuanjizi, who smelled of makeup and powder, appeared at the door. He glanced at the little girl on the couch, then looked at the sky outside and said, "Prepare some water for me, I want to take a bath and change clothes."

The little girl quickly tidied up and went out to prepare hot water with him.

However, not long after the Zhang family's housekeeper left, someone came over and told him that Changsun Wuji planned to entertain His Majesty the Emperor at a banquet in Qujiang Pool three days later. He still felt a little dissatisfied when he thought that he had not received a Taoist title before.

, and this opportunity is definitely an excellent opportunity.

He said something to the man, and the man ran to Changsun's house and asked Ye Tan to go too, and tried to find a way to let him go.

Changsun Wuji knew that if Ye Tan didn't want to go, no one could, so he went into the palace to find Queen Changsun and said two things. One was to pray for his mother, and the other was to pray for the royal family.

So I hope Ye Tan can go. In this case, the problems in the family can be solved. The stiff relationship with Ye Tan is not what Empress Changsun likes to see, so she agreed.

What is different from Changsun Chong is that if Changsun Wuji is coming, Qujiang Pool will be completely different from before. By the time Ye Tan receives this notice, the place has already begun to be decorated and under martial law.

Anyone who has read history books knows what kind of person Changsun Wuji is. If he wants to reconcile such a person with himself, Ye Tan thinks that the only way is to reverse the flow of the Yellow River.

However, he could not violate Empress Changsun's decree, so that day he heard that Li Lizhi was also going, so he went along with her.

Because he didn't believe that Changsun Wuji wouldn't take advantage of a banquet to the extreme.

Three days later, it was a sunny day. Although the snowflakes had stopped falling, it was even colder when the snow melted. Just because there was no wind, it felt like warblers and swallows were everywhere. When Ye Tan arrived, he saw more than just

Li Chengqian, Li Lizhi, Li Ke and Li Tai, especially Li Tai, don't know what they have eaten recently, and they have gained weight again and again.

As soon as Ye Tan passed by, he heard Li Chengqian say, "Brother, I heard that a Taoist priest is coming today. He is very powerful. Let's take a look then."

"What Taoist priest is so powerful? I must see it then." Ye Tan took out some snacks from his hand and gave them to Li Ke and Li Tai. The little fat man who was a little unhappy at first stopped talking when he saw the snacks.

, while Li Ke is a bit shy.

I seemed to have seen that there were only two places in Qujiang Pond, the pavilion and the venue, but now I found that the area was huge, and of course, there were also many wild animals.

There are many jackals, hares and various edible animals that only exist in winter. Ye Tan even saw a sika deer and couldn't help but touched his arm with his shoulder and said, "Chengqian, look there?"

After Li Chengqian quickly ate the snack in his hand, he looked up and smiled, "Brother, I didn't expect that the world is so wide and people's hearts are so warm."

"What nonsense." Ye Tan reprimanded Li Chengqian, making him look at him in confusion and said, "What a great barbecue place, and it doesn't require money. What a wonderful feeling it is."

"Ugh..." Li Chengqian rolled his eyes. After doing it for a long time, you just know how to eat. As for him, he didn't have so many ideas.

"Big brother, if you do well by then, I will give you face to eat and see." The little fat Li Tai looked like a little adult, which made several people laugh, but Li Ke was a little bit

Awkward, his special status prevents him from integrating with these brothers and sisters.

However, the quarrel between a few people was short-lived, because after Li Shimin arrived, everyone began to enter the venue. In Ye Tan's view, this was just a small court meeting. Although the emperor was sitting in the largest seat, it was really

The person who presided over it was not him, but Changsun Wuji.

The weather was so cold. Although the food on the table had just been cooked, it was usually just placed and became one piece after a while, so no one used their chopsticks.

Ye Tan did not go to the venue to sit there, because everyone seemed to be very busy, some were bragging, some were eccentric, and some looked bad. However, Li Lizhi was always with Queen Changsun. She was the eldest grandson after all.

Wuji's younger sister comes here to put on airs but also feels like she is cheering.

"Wuji is always so considerate, yes, yes, everyone, let's have a drink." Li Shimin looked at the singing and dancing arranged by Changsun Wuji and some good things he gave out. He couldn't help but smile and raised his glass. When everyone started drinking

Very excited.

"This is what a minister should do. His Majesty has been tired for a while, so he should find some time to rest." Changsun Wuji's beautiful words were so nice that the people below, such as Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, would not believe it.

, this old guy, never did anything for the sake of getting some benefits. His son and Ye Tan were humiliated here just a few days ago. They are still in the same place today. What kind of intentions do you think you have? Although Wei Zheng is still

He was chatting, but he seemed to have gained a lot of weight. This was the cotton coat Ye Tan prepared for him. Although it was not as luxurious as fur, it was warmer. At this time, he was even more satisfied with Ye Tan.

"Wuji, you are a master who will not let go of eagles when he sees rabbits. Let's talk about it. There was such a big scene today. I don't know what you want from me. As long as it is not excessive, I will agree to it." Li Shimin likes to joke with his ministers.

, let alone his brother-in-law, but it also shows that the customs of the Tang Dynasty were like this. If Zhu Yuanzhang said this above in the Ming Dynasty, usually the people below would cry to death. This is a rhythm that wants to kill me.

"Your Majesty, you have seen through your little thoughts." Changsun Wuji acted like he was just an ordinary person, which made many people frown. However, he is also an official who plays a clown.

Behaviors that should be taken.

"A few days ago, Quanzi held a banquet again. It may have been a misunderstanding with Songzhou Hou Yetan. Although the fake son of Zhang Guogong's family died due to the conflict, Weichen believed that he was the queen's godson, that is, Weichen

I am a junior, I don’t want any glory and wealth in this life, I just want my family to be in harmony, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to give a witness and let us know how to explain it?" Changsun Wuji's words seemed to be helping Ye Tan to shirk, but in fact they were not.

It entangled him and Zhang Liang, and when he and Zhang Liang drank a pot of good wine before, they reached some agreement.

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Li Shimin naturally knew, but he pretended not to know, as if such a thing did not exist at all.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter has twists and turns. Please allow me to give you a detailed report later." Chang Tu said in a low voice, looking at Li Shimin who was looking at him.

"It's all Quanzi's fault. It was just a fight between children. Please don't take it to heart." Changsun Wuji's words simply added fuel to the fire. Since our family is not pursuing it anymore, as for other things,

Whether they pursue the matter or not, it is beyond our control.

"Where is Ye Tan?" Li Shimin felt that some people's eyes were not right, so he quickly found someone. Anyway, he would not help Ye Tan take the blame, and this kid was too troublesome and needed to calm down.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen has prepared a place for him, but maybe the child feels bored and is not here." Changsun Wuji's words seemed to be to excuse Ye Tan, but in fact, he was saying, how could such a young child do this?

With such a high title, is it passed down from his family? If Li Shimin can take down his title, then there will be no need for others to do the next thing. People from the Longyou Group can kill him directly.

.

"Why don't you look for this person?" Li Shimin didn't sense Changsun Wuji's intentions and just said to the people around him.

Then everyone continued to drink, but Wei Zheng looked around with a frown, a little doubtful as to how long today's acting would last.

Because it was a banquet, not a formal memorial ceremony, some children were gathered together, including Fang Xuanling's second son Fang Yiai. This boy Ye Tan could tell. Even though he was not a big person,

But his mind goes straight and he doesn't know how to turn around. Although such a person looks a little stupid, he is actually a good person, but he is a little short-sighted and very honest.

Different from the deserted place there, the people here are very happy. Although everyone has a family imprint since they were young, they are all children after all. Now a circle of people is gathered together, with a large copper in the middle.

The pot, which is now the hot pot, has some raw meat on the side, as well as the mushrooms and vegetables that Ye Tan had stored in the East Palace before. In addition to some of Ye Tan's small games, the temperature here is very high.

"I am a soldier." Fang Yiai had never realized that his IQ was so high. As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him said, "I am a civilian."

"I'm a worker." Although Wei Ziyu is not old, his father Wei Zheng would still take him out to eat and drink for free at such a banquet.

"I'm Shang." Li Tuanyuan, who didn't know when he would come back, also joined in, with a proud look on his face.

"I'm a soldier." Li Ke said quickly, and then it was Li Tai.

When we arrived at Ye Tan's place, he was originally going to say, "I am from the people," but he choked on Chang Tu's words and did not say it out. So, everyone happily took out their chopsticks and put the meat in the pot.

, boil it, then dip it in the sauce, then put it in your mouth and eat it.

Chang Tu has been with Li Shimin for almost twenty years. He is also a person who likes to eat delicious food. In many cases, he eats better than Li Shimin. There is no other way. He has been a eunuch who tested poison for many years. How can he not eat it?

But when I got here, I saw that the delicacies prepared by the Changsun family were thrown aside on the table next to me, and then a group of children gathered around a pot, eating, it was lively and hot.

"Okay, I'll go and check first, everyone can't finish eating." Ye Tan made a face, and then left with Chang Tu, while the rest of the people laughed and continued to play, because this is very simple.

, suitable for dumber children, because they remember it, and then make a mess after a while, and then continue.

"Father, what's going on? I'm busy here." Ye Tan had just eaten two pieces of meat and was still hungry. He followed Chang Tu and complained, leaving him a little speechless. Others seemed to like to get close to him.

, but definitely not including Ye Tan. This kid seems to talk to everyone so casually. However, this seemingly casual behavior makes him feel more comfortable, because he has a feeling of being treated as a human being.

"Okay, will it be okay if His Majesty summons you? But you should know what your kid did a few days ago, so be careful." Chang Tu never talks much, but this time he said so much, and it seems that he has given it to him.

Ye Tan has a lot of face.

"Oh." After Ye Tan said this, he shook his sleeves to make the fragrance behind him lighter. This was also to avoid being scolded.

There is still a distance between the two, and because of this, those children can have so much fun. If they were nearby, something would definitely happen.

As soon as Ye Tan arrived there, he saw that everyone was drinking and having fun. Maybe everyone has been too depressed recently. Everyone has been crazy this year. The time for changing dynasties is so short, but it can be very stable. I have to

Call it a miracle.

Seeing Ye Tan appear, Changsun Chong, who had been following Changsun Wuji and pretending to be a good boy, suddenly changed his expression and glared at the person who had brought him shame.

"Your Majesty, my lords." Since it was not a formal occasion, Ye Tan waved his sleeves casually, then stood in the middle of the venue and said casually.

Li Shimin didn't think there was anything special about what Ye Tan did, but in Changsun Chong's eyes, this kid was deliberately stirring up trouble here.
