I don’t know if this old black-faced guy will agree to it when I talk to Li Shimin about resigning.
He seems to be very talkative.
The clerk entered the room to clean up the place. While doing so, he changed the cushions and wiped the table, looking at the young man from time to time.
Is he the person who negotiated with the Tubo people?
It looks so awesome.
He must be very knowledgeable.
Why is he still standing here? Why hasn't he left yet?
After standing there for a long time, Zhang Yang walked out of the room in the post house. When people are unlucky, they would choke even after drinking water.
Meeting someone you don't really want to meet at the wrong time.
Seeing Xu Jingzong standing at the door with a smile on his face, he looked at the wall with admiration, nodding and murmuring from time to time.
There is obviously nothing on this wall.
Zhang Yang asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Xu Jingzong came back to his senses and said: "Congratulations on becoming an official. It seems that you are not far away from being promoted to a high official and rich."
Looking downstairs of the post house, Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, "I am also a corrupt official when I am an official. Not to mention that promotion is not far away, I feel that I am not far away from death."
Xu Jingzong laughed loudly, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace? It turns out that Brother Zhang still has this state of mind."
Zhang Yang looked back at the room and then at Xu Jingzong standing at the door, "Were you eavesdropping just now?"
"What?"
Xu Jingzong blinked.
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Did I say you were eavesdropping just now?"
Xu Jingzong cleared his throat and said, "I happened to be passing by."
Taking a breath of cold air, Zhang Yang frowned, "Are you really just passing by?"
"Yes, yes, passing by, just passing by." Xu Jingzong put away his smile.
"Then you still said that I was going to be promoted. I'm afraid you've been leaning against the door and listening for a long time."
"Is this happening? Did I say this?"
Xu Jingzong stood there and hesitated for a while, and then said: "I don't know if the guy has got the wine."
As he spoke, he walked towards the downstairs of the post house with a nonchalant look on his face.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but sneered, "Hypocritical, this person is so hypocritical."
The guests outside the post house had all returned, and Xu Jingzong was drinking wine one sip at a time. This Zhang Yang was indeed quite capable.
The future prospects of this kind of person will not be bad.
Xu Jingzong became more and more certain that he had seen the right person when he followed Li Shimin, and he must make good friends with him in the future.
As Zhang Yang was walking home, Zhuque Street was still as lively as ever.
Not long after leaving the inn, I bumped into another person.
Zhang Yang looked at the other party and said, "Brother Xiangxiang?"
Lu Dongzan had no smile on his face. He bowed slightly and said, "My name is Lu Dongzan. You can call me another way."
"Brother Xiang, are you shopping here too? The mutton in Chang'an City is delicious. You should eat more."
Big brother...
This awkward title made Lu Dongzan's teeth tingle. He raised his hand and said, "This negotiation is a lesson to the power of the Tang Dynasty."
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really useful. Download it here. yeguoyuedu. You can try it soon.]
Zhang Yang still had a smile on his face, "Is it possible that the elder brother felt that the conversation just now was not enough and planned to compete with me on the street?"
Lu Dongzan: "..."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yang sighed: "I am a civil servant, and civil servants cannot be rude. It is an insult to gentleness."
Lu Dongzan felt more and more his teeth were sore. The way this man spoke was so strange. He bowed again and said, "You are a very wise young man. If there must be a war between Tang Dynasty and Tubo, how can you and I fight?"
There will also be a day when we compete."
Seeing the firm look on Lu Dongzan's face, Zhang Yang said helplessly: "Actually, I am a good person and I hope for world peace."
"Peace? We in Tubo praise Pu's talent and strategy. It will be a matter of time before we swallow Tuyuhun. You and I will definitely fight again."
This guy is so good at middle school and a little persistent. Zhang Yang said patiently: "It's not good to be high-profile. We Central Plains people have always been very humble and don't like to fight."
Lu Dongzan looked angry and left Chang'an City with his own Tubo people.
Zhang Yang had a very strange feeling as he stood there. He had lived two lifetimes. In his previous life, when he was reading history books, he felt that there were only a few brief descriptions of the friction between Tang Dynasty and Tubo. However, after experiencing it himself, he felt that it all seemed full of meaning.
The twists and turns.
It is better to resign from office as soon as possible so that we can live a good life.
Life is very busy, and the road to a well-off society is still far away. Saving enough money for retirement is a serious matter.
I saw an aunt selling persimmons on the roadside.
Zhang Yang stepped forward and said, "How do you sell this persimmon cake?"
The aunt smiled and said: "Three for one penny."
Zhang Yang looked confused, "It's a bit expensive."
The aunt's smile froze, and she said in a loud voice: "This is still expensive!"
Zhang Yang said: "I want ten cheaper, how about two cents?"
"Two cents? If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it! If you sell these persimmons, you will be raising them for your granddaughter." The aunt kept waving her hands.
Faced with the other party's anxiety, Zhang Yang was much calmer, "It's not easy to earn an extra bite to eat, so what you're selling is really expensive."
Seeing that the young man in front of me was well-dressed and didn't look like he was short of money, the aunt said again: "Selling ten of them counts as three cents, and I'll give you the extra one."
"Fine."
Only then did Zhang Yang take out three coins.
Li Tai, who was not far away, kept watching this scene. Seeing Zhang Yang bargaining, he felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably.
Li Tai couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "You are obviously so rich, but you still have to be so particular about things that cost a few pennies."
Handing Li Tai a persimmon, Zhang Yang said, "Try it?"
Li Tai took the persimmon and tasted it and said, "I just saw that Lu Dongzan blocking you on the road, and I thought he was really going to take action."
"Sometimes when he can't speak well of someone, he likes to say harsh words. He even said that sooner or later he would have to compete with Datang."
Chewing the persimmon in his mouth, Li Tai ate it with gusto, "I want to eat braised chicken."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing Zhang Yang looking at himself up and down, Li Tai said again: "I know this, and will go to work in the fief to lose weight, but the Tubo people
It’s really too arrogant.”
Zhang Yang was sitting on the roadside eating persimmons and said: "Be soft first and then hard. This is usually how bad people deal with good people. If you are too soft, they will cut you into pieces and eat you clean."
Li Tai took a fierce bite of the persimmon, sat next to Zhang Yang and said, "Yesterday I heard that a Kongming lantern was flying in Chang'an City. I don't know who the unscrupulous person was who tied a chicken under the Kongming lantern."
"..."
Zhang Yang raised his hand and knocked a chestnut on the top of Li Tai's head.
Li Tai covered his head in grievance and said, "Why did you hit me?"
After finishing the persimmon in his hand, Zhang Yang stood up and said, "You will know about it later."
After Zhang Yang left, Li Tai was still sitting there with a dull pain on his head. "You'll know what you mean later. Does he mean that I deserve to be beaten? That's too bullying."
After returning home, Li Yue was concentrating on doing the questions.
Zhang Yang looked at the condition of the salted duck eggs and saw that the yellow mud had begun to solidify.
Li Yue finished the questions and ate the persimmon cake.
"After eating persimmons, you can't drink alcohol at night." Zhang Yang said.
"Yeah." Li Yue chewed the sweet persimmon with an expression of enjoyment.
The turbulent era has just passed, and Li Yue does not know what the future will bring.
Her thoughts are very simple. She just wants to seize the happiness she has and live well. Although her life is hard, she is happy with it.
Staying with the one you love, living with the one you love, Li Yue has experienced hardships that others have never experienced in her childhood, and knows how difficult it is to survive.
She has a kind of persistence in her bones, and a kind of determination that others don't have.
In fact, she was seriously ill when she was a child, and she wanted to live more than anyone else.
Looking at her eating persimmons, I have to say that she looks pretty good while eating.
Noticing Zhang Yang's gaze, Li Yue pursed her lips and said, "I know, I won't drink tonight."
Zhang Yang grinned, he was at his most beautiful age.
After eating the persimmon cake, Li Yue pulled Zhang Yang's clothes.
Zhang Yang, who was drying his clothes, lowered his head and looked at her.
Li Yue picked up a persimmon and said, "You can eat it too."
Zhang Yang took the persimmon and took a bite.
As if the conspiracy had succeeded, Li Yue said with a smile: "Then you can't drink anymore, hehe."
There are quite a few things to think about.
palace
In the Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin listened quietly to the reports of Yu Chigong and Li Xiaogong.
For Li Xiaogong, it was a huge relief. That boy was really a treasure. A princess who was born from a concubine found an unknown boy to be her consort.
This kid has some skills.
Li Xiaogong thought in his mind that whenever he encountered anything in the future, he could let this kid do the work, and then he could live a miserable life. This feeling was indeed as good as it could be.
Li Shimin whispered: "I will order Niu Jinda to lead troops into the Hexi Corridor."
Yuchi bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Tuyuhun will not last long. It is just a temporary measure for now. In the future, the Tang Dynasty will eventually have a war with Tubo."
Li Shimin also looked serious. Perhaps as Zhang Yang said, Tubo would become a headache for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty, our spies have also gone to Tubo to investigate. It is said that Songtsen Gampo is a powerful ruler who can conquer Tubo and recover many tribes in Tubo. Today's Tubo is more powerful than before."
Datang has a neighboring country that is rising, which is really worrying.
Li Shimin whispered: "Continue to inquire about Tubo's activities."
"Here!"
If the Central Plains and Tuyuhun do business, buying and selling weapons and food, it may be able to solve the current urgent problem of lack of money in the DPRK.
Li Xiaogong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Deng Shilang contributed a lot to this negotiation. He was in charge of the entire negotiation."
Li Shimin sneered, he understood what Li Xiaogong was thinking.
Everyone knew it well as brothers, Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Do you think this Zhang Yang is so capable, you can sit back and relax, and you won't have to clean up the mess in the Ministry of Rites in the future."
Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I don't have this intention."
Li Shimin whispered: "Zhang Yang is still too young and has lacked discipline since he was a child. As an elder, you should teach him well instead of asking for credit and rewards for him at this time."
"Here." Li Xiaogong lowered his head and responded.
Li Shimin put away the memorial and said, "Everyone, please step aside."
"I excuse myself."
It feels very uncomfortable to have His Majesty see through my thoughts at a glance.
Li Xiaogong had mixed feelings in his heart. He really didn't want to take up the position of Minister of Rites. He had to be busy with endless things every day.
After everyone left, Li Shimin was in a very happy mood.
He walked back to the Li Zheng Hall and told Queen Changsun about the incident.
Empress Changsun was surprised and said: "It is a good thing to be able to win the Hexi Corridor without a single blow."
Li Shimin was very pleased to hear his queen's praise.
Queen Changsun said again: "This matter is no different from opening up a new territory!"
Li Shimin was a little overwhelmed by the praise from Empress Changsun, but Zhang Yang had long been forgotten.
At night, Zhang Yang confirmed that Li Yue was asleep and took out a small piece of silver cake that he had hidden.
Come to the stove, light the stove, and start busy.
I was busy until dawn.
Chang'an is about to enter the third month of Yangchun.
Today is a good day for a spring outing.
There are many spring outings outside Chang'an City.
In the suburbs, there are mostly boys and girls going out for spring outings.
Zhang Yang held Li Yue's hand and admired the spring scenery.
The two of them walked very slowly.
Li Yue breathed the fresh air greedily and enjoyed the warm feeling of the sun shining on her body.
Zhang Yang took out two rings and said, "These are the rings I made, one for each of us."
Li Yue looked at the small iron ring and asked curiously: "Ring?"
"This is a token of love. Many couples will wear the ring until they grow old. As long as they are together, the ring cannot be taken off."
Zhang Yang put the ring on the ring finger of her left hand.
Li Yue looked at the ring curiously. She frowned and looked at the slender ring. Then she raised her face and said, "Did you hide the silver cake secretly?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhang Yang, who was drinking water, coughed violently.
Facing his wife's eyes, Zhang Yang explained: "This is actually a token. You see, each person wears one, so be careful."
Li Yue pouted, "You just kept the silver cake secretly."
Is the silver cake important? What’s important is how romantic this ring is. Doesn’t the end point lie in the ring?
It seems that my wife’s understanding of romance is a bit skewed.
Zhang Yang said: "If you don't like me, just give me back."
"I won't return it!" Li Yue put the hand with the ring behind her back with a fierce expression on her face.
There are many men on spring outings in the countryside.
Even if there are women, ordinary women will sit in the carriage and carefully observe whether there is a handsome man.
There was also a man standing in the wilderness who suddenly became inspired by poetry and was reading poetry loudly.
This has become numb to Zhang Yang, who has lived for two lifetimes, and he has long since lost his mind for this kind of behavior.
Li Yue caught a little rabbit from nowhere. She grinned and said, "Let's eat the rabbit."
"Huh?" Zhang Yang felt that he had heard wrongly.
Li Yue held the rabbit's ears and said, "Look how fat this rabbit is."
According to Li Yue's innocent and cheerful age, shouldn't he be raised?
Zhang Yang asked doubtfully: "Rabbits are so cute, shouldn't they be kept?"
Li Yue pouted and said, "Raising rabbits is troublesome, and they can easily dirty our yard."
