Section 522 Night Banquet Tiance General's Mansion 1 【Ask for Monthly Pass】
At this time, Yeon Gaesooon thought of a very strange thing.
Ten years ago, it was the first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty. It was also the first year of King Rongliu of Goguryeo. In other words, in the 838th year of the First Emperor of China, the Sui Dynasty was defeated by Goguryeo. It was also the year when the Tang Dynasty was founded.
The king of Goguryeo was replaced by King Yeongryu.
From this year onwards, Datang became stronger and stronger.
From this year onwards, Goguryeo became weaker and weaker.
Yeon Gaesumun couldn't help but use the Shihuang Calendar, but it was really a very good way to record historical events. The Shihuang Calendar was like a standard, a very strict ruler, marking the time of each dynasty in history on the Shihuang Calendar.
In the imperial calendar, there is no need to calculate every time how old a certain king is, then how old a certain king is, and then add up how many years have passed.
The Tang Dynasty and the Goguryeo Dynasty, one became stronger and the other became weaker.
The fundamental reason is that the Tang Dynasty had a powerful emperor, powerful civil servants and generals, and an unparalleled genius, His Highness the King of Qin.
On the other hand, in Great Goguryeo, King Yeongryu did not have the power to convince the entire Goguryeo aristocracy.
He couldn't even master the whole of Goguryeo.
Just facing the fall of Jian'an and Liaocheng, this incompetent king actually spent half a month without coming up with a way to deal with it. During that half month, Yuan Gaisuwen was struggling with the strange poison in his body.
Fight.
Standing in Chang'an City, Yeon Gaesumun had a strong feeling in his heart that Goguryeo was weak because the king was too weak!
Li Yuanxing was originally planning to enter the palace, but when he was at Zhuque Gate, Eunuch Gao came and conveyed Li Er's wishes. Li Er meant that since you, Li Yuanxing, are hosting a banquet at General Tiance's residence, you don't have to come in person to deliver it.
Brother, the invitation will come naturally. You can wait at Admiral Tiance's residence.
Cui Yingying needs to invite Queen Changsun in person. This is etiquette.
Li Yuanxing returned to Admiral Tiance's Mansion first, where Wei Zheng and his people were greeting him.
Not to mention that someone came here to inform in advance that His Highness the King of Qin was going to hold a banquet. It was Li Yuanxing's whim. If he wanted to hold a banquet, he could have a banquet of not small scale held in Admiral Tiance's Mansion within an hour.
.
Admiral Tiance's Mansion was the original Qin Wangzhuang.
Li Yuanxing entered Admiral Tiance's residence and sat in his study. Wei Zheng only came to greet him according to the rules, and then went to attend to the banquet without mentioning anything serious.
"Jin Man Qing!" Li Yuanxing sat on a soft chair. He didn't read a book or prepare tea. He just sat quietly.
Soon, Jin Manqing arrived, and Yuan Chun also came in with her.
"Are you wronged?" Li Yuanxing asked calmly.
Jin Manqing bowed slightly: "In the past few days, I have thought clearly. I was a little scared that day, but it is not a grievance. If I were in Goguryeo at this time, I am afraid it would not be such a small thing as being frightened. When I was in Goguryeo,
, I am very careful every day, afraid that I will go on a business trip and be punished.”
Li Yuanxing nodded slightly, indicating that Jin Manqing could sit down and speak.
In front of Li Yuanxing, an ordinary civilian had no seat, but only had an extra cushion on the couch.
For Jin Manqing, this is already a great honor.
"When I was in Liaodong, I was very scared. I didn't know what I would encounter. When I first arrived in Yaozhou, I was even more scared because there were countless slaves there. It might be a huge slave camp. But I really started working.
When I did, I wasn’t afraid anymore.”
"Don't rush, tell me slowly!" Li Yuanxing was very interested in hearing Jin Manqing's real thoughts.
Both Li Lanshan and Wu Zhao agree on a theory. Although the word nation appeared very early, national consciousness did not appear early. In the Central Plains, when there was really a strong national consciousness, it should be in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
.
Li Lanshan believes that the tragedy of the late Northern Song Dynasty was the beginning of national consciousness.
And Yue Wumu's Manjianghong is a very strong awakening of national consciousness, and it is also a kind of promotion.
During the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Han nationality in the Central Plains or the ethnic minorities in foreign countries, the real national consciousness was not strong, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would not have many foreign generals.
Jin Manqing gave another salute and continued: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the King of Qin, when I first started working, I was still a little unaccustomed to it. But after only three or five days, not only me, but also many female medicine-picking workers in our camp became slow.
I slowly got used to that kind of life, and even fell in love with the new life."
Li Yuanxing did not speak, but nodded slightly.
"No one will be bullied or beaten. And as long as you work more, you will be rewarded and you can eat better. When I was in my hometown, I worked very hard and did more work than here.
You may not be able to eat enough, so the new life makes people feel happy."
Being able to eat enough is such a simple request.
Outside the study, Li Er has arrived. He came earlier than Empress Changsun. He wanted to chat with Li Yuanxing first.
But when he heard Li Yuanxing questioning the Goguryeo medical woman in the study, Li Er signaled not to report it, and he came to the window and stood where Li Yuanxing could see him.
Li Yuanxing winked at Yuanchun, and Yuanchun quickly welcomed Li Er in from the back door of the study.
Li Er did not go to the front hall of the study, but stood in the library of Li Yuanxing's study and asked Yuan Chun to tell Li Yuanxing secretly that he wanted to hear it, but he did not want the Goguryeo medical woman to see him.
Jin Manqing continued talking: "The first time I was rewarded was when I discovered the properties of an undocumented medicinal material. Although this medicinal material is common, it has different preparation methods. I boldly worked on it.
When I came up with my idea, I was rewarded with enough meat for half a month and a bolt of linen."
When she said this, Jin Manqing had a happy smile on her face.
"Although I am a slave, my life is much better than in my hometown."
Hearing these words, Li Er felt a sense of pride on his face.
Jin Manqing raised her sleeves: "This is Yunjin. When I first got it, I thought it was a gift. Later I slowly understood that it was earned with my own hands!"
What is earned with your hands is not a gift!
When he heard these words, Yuan Chun, who was sitting next to Li Yuanxing, had a very obvious reaction. Yuan Chun said in his heart, Jin Manqing, you don't know how to be grateful. Don't you know that everything you have is a gift from His Highness King Qin?
But Li Yuanxing calmly held Yuan Chun's hand.
Li Er, who saw this scene in the dark, nodded slightly.
When he heard Jin Manqing's words, Li Er was also a little unhappy, but looking at Li Yuanxing's calm expression, Li Er secretly praised Li Yuanxing's skill in cultivating qi.
Jin Manqing kept her head lowered, with a very happy smile on her face.
She didn't see Yuanchun's movements, otherwise she would have been scared.
"This is my first time to enter Chang'an City. I have heard of Chang'an City when I was a child. In my heart, Chang'an City is a very great city with the most beautiful things. When I saw Chang'an in person,
My heart was intoxicated. When I entered the East Market of Chang'an City without knowing anything and being curious about everything, I really wanted to vacate this place."
Hearing Jin Manqing talk about Chang'an City again, but not talking about the topic just now, Li Er even had some expectations in his heart.
Looking forward to Jin Manqing talking about the topic that was earned with both hands.
Jin Manqing changed the subject:
"It was only when I was in Dongshi that I truly understood. The things I got in Yaozhou were not gifts, they were really freed from them with my own hands."
Sure enough, this topic was brought up again, and there seemed to be something in it.
"Any treasure, no matter how precious it is, has a price. Just like the Yun brocade clothes I am wearing, which would be envied by the Goguryeo princesses, it is still possible to buy them for four guans in Chang'an. So if this is a gift, I think it is a tribute to the noble
Your Highness the King of Qin is extremely disrespectful."
"What is the most precious?" Li Yuanxing asked.
In fact, Li Yuanxing already knew the answer, but he wanted Jin Manqing to tell it to Li Er personally.
"It's an opportunity. The gift from you, His Majesty the King of Qin, is an opportunity. An opportunity that allows you to live a prosperous life and gain freedom with your own hands and efforts. This is an impossible gift!"
After Jin Manqing said this, he stood up and bowed down in Goguryeo etiquette.
Li Yuanxing accepted this gift.
Li Er put a hand on his chest, and he felt an indescribable feeling of excitement. This feeling was what he had experienced when he led his troops to capture Chang'an.
After Jin Manqing finished her gift, Li Yuanxing said: "My gift from the king is a dream!"
"I don't understand!" Jin Manqing didn't understand, let alone he didn't understand. Even Li Er didn't react. What kind of gift was this?
"Dreams are sometimes equal to ideals and different from ideals. Because people dream, the self in dreams may be different from reality. Dreams are a person's longing and desire for beautiful things. Sometimes dreams are unrealistic, but they are not realistic at all.
There is no doubt that a dream is a person’s most innocent, innocent, beautiful and lovely wish.”
Even Li Er praised Li Yuanxing's explanation.
Jin Manqing stood up again and gave a big gift.
"Go down and rest. The matter in Dongshi is not just your personal matter."
Li Yuanxing stood up with a serious tone.
"If someone violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he will have to pay the price. This is to safeguard the dignity of the Tang Dynasty. As a member of the Tang Dynasty, you are also obliged to safeguard the dignity of the Tang Dynasty."
"I once swore an oath to protect the dignity of the Tang Dynasty at all costs, even my own life! Anyone who has the Tang Dynasty in his heart will protect the Tang Dynasty."
Jin Manqing really didn't dare to answer any more words. Li Yuanxing's words were beyond her understanding.
At Li Yuanxing's signal, Yuanchun left with Jin Manqing. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
