Ouyang Xun stopped for a moment and looked back at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang saluted Ouyang Xun, "I've heard of Mr. Mister's name for a long time."
Ouyang Xun nodded slightly and let his little man help him leave.
Li Yue poured a cup of hot water and sat beside the carriage to drink it quietly. "Mr. Ouyang Xun's name is resounding throughout the Central Plains. It is said that people from other small border countries also admire him very much. They would spend thousands of dollars to beg Mr. Ouyang Xun."
"
Zhang Yang smiled.
"It's strange to say that Mr. Ouyang Xun is said to come from a family of military generals, and his grandfather and father are both famous generals. However, Mr. Ouyang Xun has very high attainments in calligraphy."
In the morning, the team will rest again.
When we came to the Queen's team, more and more materials were available for distribution. Even the meals delivered were cooked millet porridge.
Aunt Wang brought water from the river not far away.
Among the team, this couple was the most sophisticated. A delicate small clay stove was lit, and a special style pot was placed on the clay stove.
Instead of drinking raw water, she only drank boiled water. After Li Yue developed this habit, she could never change it, and she also stopped drinking raw water.
Use a water bladder to collect boiling water.
After resting for an hour, the convoy continued its journey.
The team marched for four days, and Li Yue was used to this kind of stop-and-go life, but she slept well these two days.
When he saw Li Tai again, the guy looked very disappointed.
"The six barrels of milk tea I brought are all broken."
The little fat man looked confused. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "I need milk powder!"
Scratching his head in pain, Li Tai looked confused, "Why hasn't this Turk brought the milk powder?"
The carriage was still moving, and Zhang Yang sat on the side of the carriage with his hands in his hands.
Li Tai followed slowly and leisurely on his horse.
At noon, we could finally see Tiantai Mountain and the buildings on the mountain in the distance. That was where the royal family wanted to escape the summer heat. Qin Qiong had already been guarding here with his troops.
According to the palace maid's arrangement, the two of them followed the team.
The little girl held by Queen Changsun should be Princess Changle, followed by several concubines of Li Shimin.
Li Tai whispered, "Look behind you."
Zhang Yang looked back and saw that the team at the rear had stopped. He looked down from the mountainside and saw clearly how long the entire team was. At a glance, the team was stretching towards the distance. It seemed that the number of people was not tens of thousands.
There are also eight thousand people.
There are also officers and soldiers from Chang'an
The entire mountainous area here is under carpet search.
The emperor came here to escape the summer heat and wanted to ensure absolute safety.
Zhang Yang withdrew his eyes and held Li Yue's hand all the way up the stairs.
"This Renshou Palace used to be a place for summer vacation in the former Sui Dynasty. Chang'an City was really sweltering, so my father wanted to come here to escape the summer heat. The heat in the summer palace made people breathless. In fact, the emperor once wanted to turn this place into a summer palace.
It was changed to Wannian Palace because this was the palace of the former Sui Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty can no longer use the old name." Li Tai whispered as he walked along.
Not many people could follow Li Shimin up the mountain and enter Renshou Palace.
Renshou Palace stands in the mountains. When you walk into this mountain forest, you can feel the coolness here. The pines and cypresses here are planted all over the mountains.
People who are emperors really enjoy it.
Zhang Yang sighed in his heart. This is the center of Tiantai Mountain. Walking up the stone steps, you will see the pavilions in front of you, and there is a stream behind you, flowing from top to bottom.
"Your Highness Princess, Mr. Zhang, please come this way."
The couple followed the palace maid and turned aside until they came to a room.
Looking at the dilapidated little house in front of him, Zhang Yang felt melancholy and looked back at the pavilions not far away.
You, Li Shimin, live in such a nice house, let me live in this small house?
A gust of mountain wind blew, and there were weeds around the house.
The two aunts also saw Zhang Yang's embarrassment.
Li Xiaogong came with people and said in an arrogant tone, "Take care of this little house too."
"Here."
A group of servants began to clean up the house.
Li Tai also came with people, "Clean everything up, including the imperial sister and brother-in-law's house."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the Prince of Hejian County is already helping to clean up."
Li Tai cleared his throat and said, "There are so many people. Clean up quickly. It won't hurt."
Li Yue and her two aunts walked into the room and started cleaning up.
Zhang Yang stood there, watching Li Xiaogong and Li Tai walk over, and the three of them stood together.
There is a lake behind the house, at the foot of the mountain, and many people who stayed at the foot of the mountain are stationed by the lake.
Li Xiaogong sighed, "They will leave tomorrow. Your Majesty cannot possibly arrange accommodation for everyone."
Zhang Yang said in confusion, "So many people still need to follow."
Li Tai looked at this scene and explained: "Some people are not invited by the Emperor Father. You know how rare it is for some people to be able to come here with the Emperor Father to escape the summer heat. Some people will never find the opportunity in their lives."
, there will also be people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to do everything possible to show off in front of the father."
"Of course not everyone can come to the invitation given by the emperor. Some people will spend thousands of gold and silver to buy other people's invitations and participate in this summer vacation in the name of others. Being able to show up here will be of great significance to some people.
the benefits of."
Zhang Yang looked at this scene with confusion, "Are you saying that your Majesty's invitation is very valuable?"
Li Xiaogong snorted, "Of course, they will spend a lot of money for this opportunity."
"It's a shame, if I had known I would have sold the invitation."
Li Tai smiled bitterly and said, "You are really..."
Li Xiaogong shook his head and sighed, "There is no future."
Looking at the dilapidated house behind him again, Zhang Yang said helplessly, "This house is too dilapidated."
Li Xiaogong pointed to the house nearby, "The house I live in is also very dilapidated."
Li Tai looked at the house on the right, "I live next to it."
"It turns out that both of you are my neighbors. Is this a deliberate arrangement?"
Li Xiaogong grinned and said, "I know that your boy has no contact with anyone in the clan and seems to be a stranger, so I am worried."
Li Tai also nodded and said, "Yes, this is what I asked my father to arrange. Moreover, those guys in the palace are not good at cooking. It is better to be here than to interact with those guys from the clan."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I think so too, and your cooking skills are top-notch."
Those who come here to make money just say they are here to make money. Why do you say it so confidently?
The three of them were talking when a eunuch came not far away.
"Your Majesty invites Mr. Zhang and Princess Runan to go."
Zhang Yang glanced at Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong nodded and said, "Let's go see His Majesty."
Calling Li Yue, the two of them followed the eunuch into a pavilion. It must be said that the Renshou Palace is quite big.
"Do you think the palace in Lishan is bigger, or here?"
Li Yue thought for a while and whispered, "It should be that the palace in Lishan is bigger."
At the foot of a cliff, Li Shimin was sitting cross-legged with an old guy.
Li Shimin smiled and said: "This is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, now Duke Xu."
Zhang Yang bowed after hearing this and said, "I pay homage to Your Majesty and have met Duke Xu."
Gao Shilian stroked his beard and said, "I have heard about Shilang Zhang for a long time. It is true that a hero emerges from a young man."
"Xu Guogong has given me the award."
Li Shimin asked someone to move two small stools.
The couple sat down next to each other.
Li Shimin poured two bowls of tea.
This tea was still the tea that he roasted himself. Zhang Yang was thinking about whether he should ask for money for tea next time.
Li Shimin smelled the tea, took a sip of tea, and said, "The more you drink, the more flavorful your fried tea becomes."
Gao Shilian also praised, "Without any impurities, it's just tea leaves. The tea is clear and not as turbid as boiled tea. Compared with boiled tea, this fried tea has a longer aftertaste."
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly.
Li Shimin held a tea bowl in his hand, "This is the old palace of the Sui family. It would be a pity to abandon it, and it would be a heavy work to destroy it. I don't like the name Renshou Palace. My father also thought about changing the name of this palace before. What do you think?"
?"
Another cool mountain breeze blew by, taking away the heat from the summer heat.
Seeing that Zhang Yang was silent, Li Shimin whispered, "It seems you don't have any good ideas."
Zhang Yang came to his senses after hearing this, "Why don't we just call it Jiucheng."
"Ninety percent? Jiucheng Palace?" Li Shimin thought.
"The meaning of Jiucheng is the meaning of Nine Levels. I think this name is good." Gao Shilian stroked his beard and smiled.
Li Shimin nodded, "I still think we should think about it carefully."
In the records of later generations, this palace was called Jiucheng Palace. Zhang Yang didn't care what the name of this place was.
I don’t know if Li Shimin will adopt it.
He drank tea in silence and listened to the conversation between Gao Shilian and Li Shimin.
What on earth did Khan ask himself to come here for?
Gao Shilian said, "I have a neighbor who lives with a widow. There is also an idle man living next door to the widow's house. Every time the hens in the widow's house lay eggs, the eggs are stolen at dawn. The widow sees
It turned out that the idle man next door stole it, but he refused to acknowledge it, and he had some connections with the county government, which made people very helpless, but a widow was angry and didn't know how to deal with this idle man."
After speaking, Gao Shilian fell silent again.
Li Shimin also fell silent.
Zhang Yang looked at Gao Shilian suspiciously, having heard Gao Shilian's name in Zhang Gongjin's ears more than once.
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Yang, "What do you think the widow should do?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I don't know what to do. That idle man is really hateful."
Li Shimin put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Okay, this time I want you to come and meet Xu Guogong. Xu Guogong has made great achievements in the court. If you need help from Xu Guogong in the court, feel free to go to the Ministry of Personnel and ask for advice."
"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty." Zhang Yang stood up and saluted.
"I know you just arrived here and still have to clean up your place."
"I excuse myself."
Zhang Yang left with Li Yue.
After walking far away, Li Yue asked in a low voice, "Do you really don't know how to deal with that idle man?"
"It's not impossible."
"The plan is coming?"
Zhang Yang folded his hands and said, "As long as the widow marks her hen and puts it in the idle man's house before dawn, the widow will say that her hen was stolen by the idle man at dawn."
"Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? The idle man will definitely not recognize it."
"Yes, all hens in the world are the same. How can we say they are yours?"
"But you asked the widow to mark it."
"So the widow has to summon all the neighbors and officials to argue with the idlers. The more people, the better. If this idler doesn't recognize him in front of everyone, the widow can take out the mark on the hen, so that everyone can recognize it.
After seeing through the true face of this idle man, nothing will happen to him if he steals a few eggs, and the officials will not care. Merely stealing eggs cannot cure this idle man, but stealing a chicken is different. There is enough reason.
Get him."
Li Yue nodded while listening.
Zhang Yang continued: "The hen will still be a widow. As for the idle man, he was expelled from the village for the lightest crime and was named a thief. In this way, the trouble is solved."
Li Yue smiled.
Li Shimin did not hear these words. The eunuch who was about to return to Li Shimin listened quietly and carefully.
"Your Majesty, this old slave heard the discussion between Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Consort."
Li Shimin was still sitting there with Gao Shilian, "What are you talking about?"
The eunuch repeated the words of the princess and the consort.
After hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Gao Shilian and asked, "What does uncle think of this plan?"
Gao Shilian closed his eyes and thought for a long time, "This plan is feasible. Although it is not the right way to use evil to control evil and frame the blame, it can achieve the goal you want."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "After trying this, what do you think of Zhang Yang?"
Gao Shilian's expression became much more serious, "He is an unscrupulous person."
In just six words, Gao Shilian expressed his evaluation of Zhang Yang.
The monarch and his ministers decided on Zhang Yang's outcome in just a few words.
After tidying up the room, it felt good to walk in. Li Yue placed some furniture and bedding.
Zhang Yang sat at the door, waving the fan in his hand.
Li Yue came out with a book, "Husband, it is recorded in the classics that although the Renshou Palace has the name of Renshou, it was built on the bones of tens of thousands of people. Countless slave laborers died one after another. Yang Su ordered
Burn them. On New Year's Eve in the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, Yang Jian looked from a distance in the palace and saw that the palace palace was filled with phosphorus fire and there were faint sounds of crying, so he sent someone to drink wine in memory."
This Renshou Palace indeed reveals one word everywhere, old.
Li Yuan also came here to escape the summer heat several times. The buildings here still retain to some extent the style of the pre-Sui Dynasty.
Li Yue whispered, "Husband, will we also see phosphorus fire filling the air?"
"As for the phosphorus fire filling the air, it was because the Yang family of the former Sui Dynasty drank wine and offered sacrifices to show their kindness. Grandpa Huang came here for summer vacation a few years ago and has never seen anything like that." The speaker was Li Tai, who was speaking.
Lying on a big rock, enjoying the coolness here.
The prince stayed in Chang'an, while Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Wei Zheng stayed in Chang'an City to assist the government.
The emperor spent his summer vacation here.
"It's just that Renshou Palace is located in the mountains and forests. Every rainy season, lake water pours in. It's extremely annoying. If my father hadn't cherished the people's efforts and emphasized frugality, I would have really wanted to improve the lake path." Li Tai closed his eyes and sighed with emotion.
sighed.
Zhang Yang looked at a small peak next to Tiantai Mountain in the distance and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's climb the mountain together to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning."
Li Tai snorted coldly, "What's so good about the sunrise?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei does not understand the beauty of this. Sunrise is the time when the day comes and the day begins again. There is a saying that the day's plan begins in the morning."
Li Yue held Zhang Yang's arm, nodded and said, "Well, let's watch the sunrise."
