Yun Ye returned to the capital, returned the Tiger Talisman to the emperor, and once again explained the affairs of Hengyang. The young emperor very politely invited the general to a banquet, and even composed a poem on the spot at the banquet, praising the general's heroic determination and military exploits.
Wushuang, Yun Ye laughed loudly when he heard this, and told the emperor that his father did not have such a moment back then.
After dinner, the emperor invited the general to take a walk in the imperial garden. Yun Ye happily went with him. An old man and a young man walked on the gravel path, chatting and laughing very harmoniously.
"I know that the dinner in the palace is not to the general's taste, but that's the kind of meal that is used to commemorate the soldiers. I don't like vinegar and mutton wrapped in spices. It tastes very bad."
Yun Ye said with a smile: "Etiquette is for outsiders to see. It is part of the country's reward for the achievements of soldiers. But when it comes to delicious food, the Yun family's food is well-known, but you use the Yun family's food as a reward
Meritorious soldiers, but those soldiers would not be willing. The Yun family's meals can only satisfy the appetite. Although the menu set by the Ministry of Rites is unpalatable, it is the highest honor. The two are not the same. Another example is the academy's braised pork
The meat dish was passed down from the Yun family’s cookbook, but countless people have eaten the most authentic braised pork at the Yun family, but they unanimously commented that the Yun family’s braised pork is not as delicious as the one cooked by the academy chef with a big shovel.
.
What's the reason for this? It's just the mood that's at work. People can't just satisfy their appetites, they also need to be satisfied psychologically and spiritually. Only in this way can people be considered complete."
Li Jue chuckled and said: "What the general said makes sense, I have made a note of it and will not change it. In the future, there will be no changes in the dishes used to welcome the triumphant soldiers."
Yun Ye laughed and said: "It should be so. I have eaten half-cooked pork all my life. How can the younger generations be spared? Ever since Fan Kuai put the pork leg on his shield and chewed it, this famous dish has become on the royal menu.
As for the main course, the next time your Majesty hosts a banquet, don't forget to reward the pig leg to the bravest general. This is a beautiful talk."
Li Jue's eyes curled up in laughter. He found that talking to Yun Ye was not only reasonable, but also very interesting. He couldn't help but said: "The general is the wise man of the Tang Dynasty. I will rely on you a lot in the future. Please give me some advice."
You don’t hesitate to teach me!”
"This is natural. But there are only ten years. This is the time I promised your father to give you to grow up. After ten years, I will completely retire. I believe that I have devoted my whole life to serving this country and protecting our family.
It’s such a shame that my country never had time to appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers in my entire life.”
"Is it because I can't be taught? Aren't you willing to help me more?"
Yun Ye said bitterly: "If your father were alive now, I would have run even further. Maybe he would have taken the fleet to the Red Sea to bully that ghost woman from the Japanese country. He didn't take care of himself and died happily.
You are so young that you are entrusted to me, and you will be held back for ten years without being able to move."
Li Jue saw that Yun Ye became sad. He stopped talking and silently accompanied Yun Ye to look at the layers of lotus leaves in the pond. A gust of cool wind blew over, and the lotus leaves rolled like waves. Yun Ye woke up from his memories.
, pointing to the East Palace not far away and said to Li Jue: "Your father and I got to know each other from a fight.
At that time, I was one of the assistant generals of Zuo Wuwei. Your father took Prince Liu's men to Longyou to learn how to fight. As a result, we had a conflict. We got to know each other. Your father was only one year older than you now.
One year older than your father, I succeeded in growing potatoes in flower pots, so I stole two of them and pretended to eat them to see if they were poisonous. At that time, General Cheng didn't know that it was actually us who were greedy. So he gave them to us.
We ate two of them, and when we got back to the camp, we cooked beef with potatoes, and it was a very satisfying meal...
Later, I violated military discipline and was imprisoned in the dungeon by General Niu. I slept wildly for two days. Your father, Cheng Chumo, Changsun Chong, and Li Huairen, who died in my arms, were treated miserably..."
The eldest grandson watched from a distance an old man and a young man sitting on the railing talking, and felt warm in his heart. Seeing Yun Ye talking enthusiastically, he quietly ordered the guards, palace maids and eunuchs not to go near the lotus pond, for fear of disturbing their conversation.
.
"I heard that you are from Chang'an..." Li Jue waited for a long time before asking the doubts in his heart.
"Hahaha, I am the biggest scourge of Chang'an City. As soon as I entered Chang'an, I broke the bones and tendons of a blind guy, and I didn't even save my descendants. Then I got together with Cheng Chumo, Changsun Chong, Li Huairen, and your father.
We are proud of Chang'an all day long. No one else dares to tell you about your father. The other three bastards all have their own backs. Only I seem to be easy to bully, so I become the first of the three evils of Chang'an. In fact,
The five of us came up with this name together.
This is not a disgrace, the main disgrace is that your grandpa captured me from the brothel, and then was tied to a chair by the empress dowager to learn etiquette. Although my life at that time was unlucky, I was very happy.
Your grandmother didn’t tie you to a chair to learn etiquette now, did she?”
"No, grandma said that my Fengyi is very good and there is no need to learn it. Now I need to learn the emperor's technique." Li Jue opened his mouth proudly to show off to Yun Ye. The grandma also said that he once tied his father and Duke Chu to chairs to go to school.
Regarding etiquette, he also said that those two people were not considered to be nobles or royals at all. They were not sitting or standing and eating like wild boars...
Yun Ye looked at Li Jue with pity and said: "Your imperial grandmother actually doesn't know how to teach people. One of her methods of teaching people is to use a stick and the other is to pretend to cry. Your father and I have been stuck in this matter in our lives.
.
I learned a lot of useless things, but when I became an adult, I realized that all the sins I had suffered back then were in vain. Those who were younger than us had no need to insist on etiquette. Those who were older than us were naked.
There was a fight at your grandpa's banquet. He wanted to recite a poem. Before he could open his mouth, someone squeezed his mouth open and poured a bucket of wine into it. When he was drunk, he was thrown into the corner. Let me tell you, don't be fooled by Taizong.
"Daily Notes" deceived me. All the famous officials and generals in the Zhenguan period were either rebels or thieves, and none of them were good people. Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin wrestled with a towel around their waists at the banquet, and Taizong
Betting on the sidelines...I often lose, but I can't do it without losing. Because Cheng Yaojin can't beat Yuchi Gong, I can only bet on Cheng Yaojin. If I don't bet, I will get a nasty beating when I go back..."
Li Jue laughed so hard that he almost fell into the lotus pond. When he was breathing again, Li Jue said with fascination: "Dad lived a really happy life. Unlike me, I can only stay in the palace. If possible,
I also wanted to be a dandy, but I couldn’t. My father handed over the Tang Dynasty to me, and I vowed to become a great king..."
Yun Ye patted Li Jue on the shoulder and said: "As long as you are ambitious, great kings are not just words, but actions. You have inherited the largest empire in the world. When the sun rises in the east,
The sky is still filled with stars, and the cold wind from the north cannot blow into the warm south. Boy, your army is the most powerful army in the world. There is no grass growing wherever it goes. Your fleet is now roaming the ocean unscrupulously, as long as it is floating on the sea.
The ships of the Tang Dynasty need to lower their sails and stop the ships when they see the Tang Dynasty's fleet, allowing you to take whatever you want.
Go and see, go to the frontier to see how powerful your army is, go to the South China Sea to see how powerful your fleet is, go to Yushan to see how talented your Tang Dynasty is!
You don’t have to be very strong. Your smallest voice will turn into the roar of the gods after it is heard from the Palace of the People. You are the most majestic person in the world. Boy, see yourself clearly, don’t feel sorry for yourself, and show your ambition.
Come on, all the subjects of the Tang Dynasty are waiting for you to make your voice heard!"
Li Jue was trembling with excitement. After Yun Ye said something, they hit the hard railing with their fists. They didn't care even if their knuckles were covered with blood. Li Jue's blood surged and burned in his chest. At this moment, he was
The proud, proud blood of the Li family was resurrected in his body at this moment...
Yun Ye left the palace with a big smile. As he walked, he loudly recited those famous lines that had long been popular in the Tang Dynasty: "The red sun rises, its path shines brightly; the river flows out, and the ocean flows;
The dragon lurks in the abyss, its scales and claws fly; the tiger roars in the valley, and all beasts are frightened; the eagle and falcon test its wings, and the dust is sucked in; the first-born of the strange flower, its stern and bright; the general's hair, its awning;
The sky is blue and the earth is yellow; despite the eternity, there are eight wildernesses; the future is like the sea and the days to come are long. How beautiful, my young man in the Tang Dynasty is as old as the sky! How magnificent, my young man in the Tang Dynasty is boundless with the country..."
The general came out of the palace, generous and heroic, walking like a tiger and a dragon.
The emperor bid farewell, and the empress dowager also bowed slightly to show her gratitude. All the servants bowed down and bowed. Li Tai stood in front of the newly built Wude Hall and beat drums to bid farewell. After hearing the news, Chang Sun Chong and others took the initiative to stand up and stand in front of each other.
Can't afford to bow...
The emperor looked down at his blood-stained hands and smiled extremely happily. From this moment on, a feminine young man was rewashed by the fierce and majestic wind of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not need a feminine emperor, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty
You should be proud by nature, and you should be generous and righteous by nature.
There is no need for marriage here, there is no need for cutting off land to pay compensation, there is no need for forbearance here, as long as I need it, I can open my mouth and ask for it, and if I don’t get it, I can take it myself. This is the privilege of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
There is only one person in the world!
The eldest grandson came to Chengtian Hall, touched the memorial tablet of Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "Yun Ye helped you make up for the lesson you didn't teach your son. I am a woman, with the steadfastness of a patriot, the fearlessness of a warrior, and the fearlessness of an emperor."
Xiongba, the virility of a man cannot be taught by my mother. I used to worry that Li Jue was good at women's hands, which would be detrimental to the world, and that he would become feminine because of his mother's death. Now, don't worry, the person you chose is very worthy.
If you have such a friend, there will be no regrets in your life!"
