But you can still see this kind of etiquette on some more sophisticated dining tables.
After all, if the host invites someone to dinner, and the host throws a tachyon at them before the guests are full, how can the guests eat? How can they be embarrassed to eat?
When a guest comes to your home and is half-full, he cannot eat anymore. Is this the way to treat guests?
After doing this three or five times, who would still want to be a guest at your home?
"Gudu, Gudu, Gudu..."
When Yu Wenbao was full, he picked up a jug of wine on the long table and started drinking it. He drank half the jug before he put the jug down and shouted cheerfully, "It's great!"
When Li Yuanji saw that Yu Wenbao was full, he put down Kuaizi and said with a smile, "Have you eaten yet?"
Yu Wenbao nodded vigorously and grinned.
Li Yuanji smiled again and said: "Then go do the work, the people of Qianniuwei are still waiting for you to lecture them."
Yu Wenbao nodded abruptly, picked up the remaining half bottle of wine without ceremony, and drank it.
Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenbao's leaving figure and shook his head in confusion.
This idiot is still an idiot, no matter how hard he raises or educates him.
But just because he is a fool, you can use it with confidence.
In some matters, you cannot use smart people, because smart people have too many thoughts, and it is easy to make a simple thing complicated, and make it complicated, and finally make it a mess for you to end.
.
Therefore, a qualified superior must have such reckless fools around him.
This kind of fool can help superiors do many things that superiors and smart people cannot do.
However, it is difficult for this kind of fool to survive for a long time in the power arena. It is easy to be calculated and exploited by others, so when not in use on weekdays, it is better to keep an eye on it to avoid being harmed by others.
.
"Send someone to Xinglu in Chang'an to see if Ma Sanbao is awake? If he is, please ask my third sister to come and see him."
After Li Yuanji ordered people to clean up the leftovers on the table, he gave orders to the eunuchs waiting on one side.
Although he didn't like to use eunuchs, and he didn't like to smell the dull smell on some eunuchs, he had to use them.
Because the number of eunuchs in the Taiji Palace has reached more than 4,000. If he doesn't use them, these people will have no way to survive.
After all, they have no roots and no home when they enter the palace. They cannot be like the maids in the palace who are let out of the palace when they grow old, so all their hopes lie in the royal family.
.
If the people in power in the royal family do not use them, then the people below will more or less alienate them. This is called deeds from above and deeds from below.
If things go on like this, they will completely lose their effectiveness and will no longer be able to survive.
"I obey the decree..."
The eunuch serving in front of the Zhaode Hall was young, only fifteen or sixteen years old. He should have been selected into the palace after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. After hearing the order, he hurriedly bowed and agreed.
Li Yuanji frowned slightly, glanced at the young eunuch and said, "What order do you follow? If my words are an imperial edict, then what do my father's words mean?
Don’t try to be smart in front of me from now on.”
The young eunuch trembled all over and fell to his knees on the ground. He kept kowtowing and all he said was acknowledging his mistake and begging for mercy.
Li Yuanji didn't yell for beating or killing, he just frowned and said, "Stop being so smart in the future, get up."
The young eunuch felt like he had been pardoned, so he quickly thanked him and got up.
Li Yuanji waved his hand, indicating that he could go down.
The reason why Li Yuanji didn't have to have elderly and considerate eunuchs was because some of the elderly eunuchs were left over from the former Sui royal family. Who knows what kind of evil spirits they had on them, but if they were infected, there was no danger. But it will be very troublesome.
Most of the remaining ones are related to the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who knows if they are the eyes and ears of the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they cannot be used.
At least until Liu Jun and Sun Fujia find out everything, there is no way to use it.
If Yu Wenbao and Ling Jing could be castrated, they would immediately have two caring eunuchs.
"No, no, this is a stupid thing that only Liu Yu of the Southern Han Dynasty did during the Five Dynasties. You must not imitate it, otherwise big problems will occur."
Li Yuanji quickly put the idea of castrating Yu Wenbao and Ling Jing out of his head.
Only weirdos can do this kind of thing.
And throughout the 5,000-year history of China, there is only one weird person like Liu Yuan.
Not only did he turn the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty into eunuchs, he also liked dark and fat Persian women.
He is simply the biggest oddity among the emperors.
Those who like widows, those who like to cultivate immortality, those who like alchemy, those who like carpentry, and those who like wet nurses are all younger brothers to him.
When it comes to the degree of weirdness and absurdity, he, Liu Yuan, is the second best, and absolutely no one can be the first.
"Your Highness, fortunately you have lived up to your command!"
In the evening, Wei Zheng came. As soon as he entered the palace, he saluted with a smile on his face and said.
Li Yuanji turned slightly sideways on the couch and said with a knowing smile: "It seems that you have taken down the entire Xiuwen Hall?"
Wei Zheng held up his hands humbly and said, "I can't say I won them all, but people like Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda, Xu Jingzong, Su Shichang and others have agreed to help His Highness.
As for Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Xue Shou and others, they are still being detained by His Highness. I haven't seen anyone, so I can't persuade them."
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded: "Then I will let you meet them?"
The expression on Wei Zheng's face suddenly became stiff.
Different from Su Shichang, Xu Jingzong and others, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Xue Shou and others were Li Shimin's true confidants and counselors, and were quite loyal to Li Shimin.
As long as Li Shimin doesn't die, it will be difficult for them to be surrendered.
It has only been a short period of time since the coup in the palace, and their loyalty to Li Shimin is still very firm, and there is no way to persuade them.
So if he was asked to convince Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Xue Shou and others, there was no way he could do it.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing that Wei Zheng was speechless, Li Yuanji laughed and said: "I just made a joke, you don't have to take it seriously. I know that Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Xue Shou and others are loyal to my second brother. Before my second brother completely disappoints them, and before they completely give up on my second brother, it will be difficult to appease them.
So I won’t force anyone to do anything difficult.”
When Wei Zheng heard this, the expression on his face softened a bit, and he said: "If Your Highness has to ask me to recruit Fang Xuanling and others, I can go, but I don't dare to promise whether it will succeed or not."
Li Yuanji waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, your errand on this matter ends here, the rest is to concentrate on helping me recruit the officials of Tiance Mansion.
I will record your contribution to this matter for you."
At this point, Li Yuanji paused and said, "In this case, if you have any requests, you can mention them. If I can satisfy them, I can satisfy one of your requests first as a reward."
Wei Zheng suddenly raised his head and said subconsciously: "Can you really mention anything?"
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then said with a half-smile: "Of course..."
Wei Zheng said seriously: "Your Highness, please separate His Highness the Crown Prince from His Highness the King of Qin. In that case, it will be beneficial to the Crown Prince, the King of Qin and Your Highness."
Li Yuanji was completely stunned. He thought Wei Zheng would put forward a favorable condition for Li Jiancheng, and he was ready to tease Wei Zheng.
I just didn't expect that Wei Zheng would actually put forward such a condition.
It is indeed good for him to separate Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
After all, if Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin get together for a long time, they will easily work together and come up with some troublesome plans. Once they find an opportunity to launch the plan, they are likely to cause some harm to him, so they have to Defend.

However, now is not the time, at least not until Ling Jing returns from his studies. Otherwise, where can he find two such good gentlemen for Ling Jing?
As for whether Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin will get together and commit adultery, judging from the short term, it probably won't happen.
Because Li Shimin had just killed Li Jiancheng's sons and had just formed a deadly feud with Li Jiancheng, he went to provoke him again. In a short period of time, Li Jiancheng would not be able to forget this hatred.
Unless the baby Zheng Guanyin is currently pregnant with can be born soon, and it will be a son, and he will be a strong son.
Otherwise, Li Jiancheng will definitely continue to confront Li Shimin tit for tat.
However, when Zheng Guanyin will give birth to her baby, it depends on the month, whether it is a son, and whether the baby is strong or not, it all depends on how she tells Li Jiancheng.
After all, Li Jiancheng is in jail now, and he doesn't know the outside news. If this kind of thing is told to him in a different way, he has no way to verify it.
If this motivates Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to continue tit-for-tat, it is not impossible.
Therefore, although Wei Zheng's proposal is good, there is no need to agree now, at least not in the short term.
For people like Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, the only ones who can torture them and fight them are the opponents who know them best.
And they are the opponents who know each other best.
It is in the best interest of the Tang Dynasty to let them fight each other until their ambitions are wiped out.
"I'm afraid I can't agree to this, because I don't have enough manpower to keep an eye on them, so I can only continue to place them together."
Li Yuanji shook his head and said.
Wei Zheng didn't show any disappointment on his face, but just put forward another condition, "Then please treat the officials at the Xiuwen Museum kindly."
I can agree to this.
Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "You don't need to tell me, I will do it. I will remove them from the official positions related to the Prince of Qin's Mansion and the Xiuwen Museum, and let them go to the History Museum first to continue compilation and repair after being shipped back from Luoyang collection of books.”
This is a big thing and a big project, so it must be done persistently.
Because this is related to the development of Datang culture and the inheritance of Chinese culture.
Not only that, Li Yuanji also planned to compile and repair all the books, and then print some supplementary volumes of some of them and distribute them to the Imperial Academy and official schools in various places for the people of the world to read.
In this era, reading is a very luxurious thing, and reading through various collections of books is even more luxurious. Even emperors have difficulty reading the secret collections of some aristocratic families.
Therefore, this dilemma must be broken, so that poor students all over the world can have access to more books and more knowledge.
Only in this way can more new ideas and broader horizons be born.
If Chinese culture had not been kept in a high cabinet from the beginning, but had been put out for all scholars in the world to learn from, then the history of China might have turned out differently.
Some people like Wang Xuance may have a stronger interest in the world through all the concerns about the world before the Tang Dynasty.
Maybe I will go to places outside the Tang Dynasty in person, explore the ends of the world, and understand every corner outside the Tang Dynasty.
Perhaps after the ancients understood every corner outside the Tang Dynasty, they would no longer rest on their laurels. Instead, like their ancestors, they would bravely explore and integrate quickly, and finally turn the Central Plains into a larger and broader place. of Central Plains.
Some people may think this is a fantasy, but if all cultures are really brought out for all readers to read, study, think, study, and explore, this may not happen.
Because when the ancients truly opened their eyes to see the world and understood what kind of existence the Central Plains was in the world, they would have a clearer idea of what role they wanted to play on the world stage and what they wanted to achieve on the world stage. What.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that there were Pegasus horses in Dawan, and then his army passed by. If he had known that there was a wider world and more wealth outside the distant Western Regions, he might not have sent troops and horses to have a look.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Like Li Shimin, he hit everything he knew wherever he looked. If he could clearly understand the world and have the whole world in his mind, maybe he would
He will be on the road to fighting until he dies.
After his death, he will leave the unfinished work to the next generation.
As long as two generations of people firmly follow the instructions he left, the territory of the Tang Dynasty may expand even more.
If an emperor, after opening his eyes to see the world, picked up the courage of his ancestors to fuse the totems of various tribes to become a dragon, and picked up the ambition of the survivors of the sixth generation of Qin Fen.
Look again, the Central Plains will be so vast.
If the emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties failed to live up to expectations, then Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan would also know how they should conquer the world and how they should fight.
Maybe they can't rule the world, but if they understand the world clearly, they can definitely conquer it.
Of course, it is not without harm to spread all the culture so that scholars all over the world have more knowledge and more ideas.
At least for the rulers, this is not a good thing.
Because there is more knowledge and more thoughts, the human mind becomes more complex and there are more ideas.
The concept of family and world is likely to suffer a huge impact.
But as a person of later generations, Li Yuanji knew very well that the concept of family world was difficult to survive forever and was destined to be eliminated, so he could accept the impact of the concept of family world.
Moreover, by the time scholars in the world really question the concept of family world, it will probably be hundreds of years later.
No one knows whether the person on the throne will be named Li by then.
So if the royal family is impacted by this kind of questioning, or even driven out of power, what does it have to do with Li Shi Yuanji?
He just broke through the shackles of culture and ignited a fire that can continue to evolve.
When people in later generations mention him, just worship him, or even call him Niu Boyi.
Wei Zheng didn't know that Li Yuanji had such ambitions, and he could understand it if he knew it. After all, Li Yuanji's idea was to dig up the foundation of Jia Tian Xia, and now the beneficiary of Jia Tian Xia is the Li family. Li Yuanji's actions are
Digging for the foundation of the Li family.
So if he knew what Li Yuanji was thinking, he would only think that Li Yuanji was stupid, and secondly, he wouldn't have many other ideas.
So after hearing Li Yuanji's words, he didn't have much reaction. He just bowed respectfully and said: "On behalf of Yu Shinan and others, I would like to thank your highness for your kindness."
Since the vast majority of officials in the Xiuwenguan nodded their heads, the Xiuwenguan has ceased to exist in name only.
So when we call Yu Shinan and others, there is no need to bring them to Xiu Wen Guan.
"Hahaha, that's what they do at the Xiuwen Museum. I think I'll be able to do it after I go to the History Museum."
Li Yuanji said with a smile.
Wei Zheng nodded in agreement.
After accompanying Wei Zheng and chatting about some trivial matters, and after arrogating Wei Zheng's eldest son Wei Shuyu as the eunuch, Li Yuanji let Wei Zheng leave.
The Taiguan Order belongs to the Taiguan Office, which is an office under the jurisdiction of Guanglu Temple. It is responsible for providing meals for ancestral banquets and court meetings. The rank is from the seventh rank.
It is also appropriate for Yin to supply Wei Zheng's son.
Wei Zheng has accomplished something big this time. Credit must be credited, conditions must be met and conditions must be met, and the reward cannot be less.
Given Wei Zheng's newly surrendered status, giving him some money or the like may not necessarily motivate Wei Zheng to continue doing his work.
Therefore, it is just appropriate to nourish the child with yin.
After Wei Zheng recruited the officials of Xiuwen Hall, all kinds of good news poured into the palace like snowflakes.
First, Chai Shao, with the cooperation of Cai Yungong, recruited three of the eight military commanders in the Qin Palace, and then Qu Tutong and Li Shentong successively sent good news about recruiting Shaanxi Province officials and vassal kings.
Finally, there is the good news that Ma Sanbao, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other people who passed out have all woken up and are recovering well.
Some people were looking for the bright side. It was not until the end of June that some bad news came to Chang'an City.
"Da da da……"
The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats sounded in the Tai Chi Palace, which had just regained its calm. Li Yuanji was helping Yang Miaoyan, who had just been diagnosed with Ximai and was showing off his belly, to the outside of the Wude Palace. He rode through all the obstacles in one go. He stopped him and appeared in front of Wude Hall.
The cavalryman on horseback shouted out of breath: "Your Highness, the governor of Huaizhou in the capital has rebelled. He has recently attacked Hanoi, Wude, Wenxian, Sishui, and even on Sishui. Directly recruit all the governors in the capital and discuss important matters together!"
With that said, the cavalryman jumped off his horse and quickly presented the mailbox behind him to Li Yuanji's eyes.
Li Yuanji looked at the mailbox in the knight's hand and sighed deeply in his heart.
