After taking a few sips of wine, he lay on the side and fell asleep.
I am no longer an official in the court, and I don’t have to go to the morning court every day. Just like the teacher said, I feel relaxed after I retire.
Zhang Xiangxiang and Zhang Dashu still serve in the Ministry of Rites, and the current Ministry of Rites is much larger than before after reconstruction.
Zhang Yang and Li Yue took a special look at each other on the way to the Imperial Academy.
Nowadays, the person who presides over the affairs of the ceremonial department is Gao Jixiong.
Xu Jingzong has not been to the Ministry of Rites for a long time because he was so frightened by the power-seeking incident that he was bedridden all day long. He also spent his vacation at home because of illness.
Li Yue walked aside in small steps, "The Ministry of Rites now has nothing to do with my husband, right?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. Teacher and my son are still serving in the Ministry of Etiquette. Brothers Xiang Dasu can help me keep an eye on the Ministry of Etiquette."
The Imperial College is a small courtyard with three or four rooms, where more than a dozen children learn.
Most of these children are descendants of powerful families.
There are six other teachers who teach here, and they all seem to be quite old.
Although it is the highest university in the Tang Dynasty, it seems shabby at the moment. A few houses in one courtyard, six concubines, and an Imperial College have become the Imperial College today.
Li Shimin seems a little careless in this aspect of construction.
Walking to the Imperial College, as the oldest student here, he attracted the most attention as soon as he walked in.
"Listen to me. From now on, when you see my brother-in-law, you must be respectful. Let me know that my brother-in-law is not feeling well here. I want you to look good!"
Li Tai's threatening words echoed in the small courtyard of the Imperial College.
Why is there a guy like King Wei everywhere?
Sometimes I really can't stand his temper and personality.
This guy has good intentions after all, and Zhang Yang doesn't want to argue with him.
The couple walked into the study here. Volumes of books were on the shelves. This was an ocean of knowledge.
Li Yue prefers to read some books with practical significance. She has not seen Shang for some days.
"Husband, it is recorded in this book that there are rich copper mines in Nanzhao."
Zhang Yang took a look after hearing this. Is there any specific record?
"You can look at the specific records about Nanzhao." Li Yue glanced at the bookshelf.
I didn’t notice it before, but this time I took a closer look at the arrangement and labels of the books. Isn’t this the way my Hongwen Library categorized books?
The bookshelves were sorted by first letter. Zhang Yang picked up a small ladder and climbed up to the top of the bookshelf and took down a few volumes.
These books are all records about Nanzhao.
These records should have been in the Ministry of Rites, so that the Ministry of Rites could retrieve the information at any time, but this book was placed in the Imperial College. Judging from the dust on it, it had been there for some days without being read.
Li Yue looked through these books and recorded some important records in her own book.
The couple went to the Imperial College every day for several days.
The study room of the Imperial College is like a huge treasure house of knowledge.
Books became a source of information for the couple to collect.
Li Shimin listened to Kong Yingda's report, "Zhang Yang is never in the Imperial College to monitor classes. The couple is in the Imperial College every day."
Kong Yingda whispered: "It seems that the consort and the princess are also studious people."
A young minister with thorns all over his body was not easy to use for Li Shimin. Li Shimin frowned and said: "I heard that Master Kong went crazy several times because of the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Now the old master looks much better than before.
"
Kong Yingda bowed and closed his eyes and replied, "I thought that life in this world cannot be understood in this way. This is not in line with the rules, and vice versa. Life does not come for nothing."
Li Shimin tried to understand Kong Yingda's words, but then gave up.
Kong Yingda said again, "Since the prince-in-law is still willing to read, this is a good thing. The old minister will patiently teach him in the future."
Li Shimin was holding a memorial to impeach Xu Jingzong. This memorial was written by the newly appointed Minister of Rites, Gao Jinxing.
Li Shimin could not be said to be disgusted with Xu Jingzong, nor did he have any good impressions of him. Among the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, Xu Jingzong was just an ordinary person.
He was just an ordinary scholar, but his talents and learning were not as good as those of Fang Xuanling, Cen Wenwen, or Yang Shidao.
Li Shimin put the memorial aside. Gao Jingcheng wanted Xu Jingzong to leave the Ministry of Rites. This matter can be discussed later. There is no need to be so anxious. Besides, Xu Jingzong also contributed a lot to Xue Yantuo's withdrawal.
This is what Li Xiaogong said.
Looking at Kong Yingda again, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Old Master Kong also needs to pay attention to his health."
Kong Yingda bowed and said, "Old minister, I will take my leave now."
The conversation between the monarch and his ministers seemed to be infrequent.
When I asked Kong Yingda to come out, I wasted a lot of effort. He was able to stay in the Imperial College because I invited him with shame.
He was born into the Confucian family and is a descendant of Confucius.
Being able to win over such people also allowed Chaotang to gain a firm foothold in Shilin.
Maybe in Kong Yingda's eyes, I'm just a rough guy, just like the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. In Kong Yingda's eyes, I'm just a killer who doesn't understand the profound truth.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with helplessness. As long as I win over Kong Yingda, why should I care about other things?
Autumn is approaching in Guanzhong, which is the time of year to harvest grain.
In September, the fields in Guanzhong are full of busy farmers.
Zhang Yang watched bags of grain being moved into the village. This was this year's harvest. Just looking at it made people very happy.
There was only a fat little man next to him, crying and complaining.
Li Tai was scolded by his father again. The reason for the scolding was that he gave orders to the children of the Imperial College and did not study well.
"Brother-in-law, tell me what I should do!" Li Tai told the story with runny nose and tears.
"Then study hard."
"I have been studying every day. After returning to the mansion, I studied until late at night every day. But my father didn't believe it. He said that I was studying business all day long. He also said that when I became an adult, I would go to the fiefdom. Once I went to the fiefdom, I would never see him again.
It’s brother-in-law’s turn.” As he spoke, Li Tai cried even louder.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The villagers around looked over and thought that I, the brother-in-law, was bullying you, King Wei.
Li Yue came with a book, "I didn't study in front of my father. What my father wants is not the way you study, but the results of Qingque's reading."
Taking the brochure from his imperial sister, Li Tai opened the brochure and read it, "What are these written on here?"
Zhang Yang said with a smile, "This is the result of your imperial sister and I studying in the Imperial College these days. Why don't His Highness the King of Wei try to compile a book to reflect the results of His Highness the King of Wei these days. I helped Wei Wei with the title of the book."
His Highness Wang has decided to call it the Geography of the Central Plains."
"Central Plains geography, such a rustic name."
"Is it rustic? I think this name is good, concise and clear."
Li Tai stopped sobbing and kept flipping through the book, "Sister Huang, is this book summarized from geographical records?"
Li Yue nodded.
With thoughts and ideas in his mind, Li Tai had hope in his eyes, "It's called Kuo Di Zhi, the geography of the Central Plains. It doesn't sound good."
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "I still think the geography of the Central Plains is better."
"It's called Kuo Di Zhi! Thank you, Sister Huang, for enlightening me."
Seeing Li Taixing leaving in a hurry, Zhang Yang asked again, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, stay here."
Hearing this, Li Tai looked back in confusion.
Zhang Yang whispered, "Even if His Royal Highness the King of Wei wants to leave Chang'an City when he comes of age, Your Majesty and the Queen will still be reluctant to leave. It would be better to give Your Majesty the outline of Kuo Di Zhi first and extend the compilation time of Kuo Di Zhi.
You can have a reason to stay in Chang'an when you become an adult."
Li Tai froze on the spot, then nodded heavily and left.
Li Yue whispered, "Will this alone make Qingque stay in Chang'an? Moreover, Li You has been sent to the fiefdom, maybe Qingque will be next."
Zhang Yang shook the fan in his hand, "It should be possible, if your father knows how valuable Kuo Di Zhi is."
The current Ministry of Rites is headed by Gao Xingyi. Zhang Gongjin lives at the foot of Lishan Mountain to recuperate. The two brothers Zhang Xiangxiang and Zhang Dashu often come to visit.
Zhang Elephant still serves in the Ministry of Rites. After the incident of seeking power for personal gain, Zhang Elephant did not serve in the Ministry of Rites for a long time.
Although Gao Jingcheng was asked to find fault with him, the two brothers tolerated these things.
What happened today made Zhang Xiangxiang really unable to bear it, and he even started fighting with Gao Xixi.
Looking at Zhang Xiangxiang's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Gongjin shook his head and said: "If you don't know how to judge the situation, it will be difficult to achieve great results."
There was still some blood at the corner of Zhang Xiangxiang's mouth, "Gao Jixiu asked Xue Yantuo's Yinan Khan to return to the Turks. This is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and it will waste our efforts for such a long time."
"Did the DPRK agree to this?"
"There are not many objections. After all, he is a member of Gao Shilian. Tomorrow Yinan Khan will be sent to Xue Yantuo in order to reflect the prestige of the Ministry of Rites in the eyes of outsiders."
Zhang Dashu said with anger on his face, "In order to demonstrate his ability, this person has negated all the efforts that our Ministry of Rites has been making. He even sent people to contact Tibet to make friends with Tubo Songtsen Gampo, and even proposed a marriage.
"
The more he talked, the angrier he became. Zhang Xiangxiang slapped his gums and shouted: "This Ministry of Etiquette doesn't want to stay any longer."
Zhang Gongjin shook his head helplessly, "If you can't bear this little grievance, how can you achieve anything big in the future?"
Zhang Xiangxiang was breathing heavily and started fighting with Gao Shicheng, offending not only Gao Shicheng, but also Gao Shilian.
"I'll take leave tomorrow." Zhang Dashu whispered.
Seeing the teacher looking at him, Zhang Yang whispered: "If you can't stand it, just step back for now. It doesn't matter. Just let Gao Jingcheng use his talent."
Zhang Elephant remained silent, "I will stay in the Ministry of Rites and watch Gao Xingcheng's every move."
After patting his shoulder, Zhang Yang let out a long sigh.
Li Yue was sitting aside making tea, and the master and apprentice sat opposite each other.
"Teacher, you said that His Majesty not only achieved the results of the Ministry of Rites, but also changed the person to preside over the work of the Ministry of Rites. He not only made things difficult for Xiang Xiang and Da Su, but now he also wants to overturn the previous efforts of our Ministry of Rites. If he continues like this, he will be like Brother Elephant.
As I said, all the previous efforts were in vain.”
Zhang Gongjin smiled and said, "Do you care?"
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "What happens to the Ministry of Rites really doesn't have much to do with me, and I'm too lazy to care about it."
"Everything you want has been achieved."
"Seeing Brother Elephant being wronged makes me feel bad."
Zhang Gongjin smiled meaningfully, "I haven't played chess with you for a long time."
After placing the chessboard, the master and the apprentice started playing chess. After less than half an hour, it ended with Zhang Gongjin looking frustrated.
As I walked through the fields with Li Yue, there was a smell of grain in the air.
Zhang Yang saw that the little bear was fighting with two geese again. This time, it was evenly matched with the two geese, and the fight was hard to separate.
There were goose feathers all over the ground, the little bear still came back in embarrassment, and the two geese also had some injuries on their bodies.
Seeing that it looked a little proud, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "After all, you still haven't defeated these two geese."
As if he understood this sentence, the little bear turned his head and sat licking his paws.
When I first saw it, it was very thin.
Now that it has been fed fat and strong, it has always wanted to show its majesty as a bear. If it cannot defeat the devil, it must at least defeat the two geese.
Right now its black eyes are looking at me.
Is it provocative?
At this moment, the little bear became interested in some raw pork hanging at the door of other people's houses.
Zhang Yang picked it up with one hand and threw it into the carriage. Now it can't eat raw meat, but it has finally gotten used to being fed with grain.
The windmill is already under construction, and the results will be available in another half month.
Aunt Wang is carrying a large backpack, which contains books that Li Yue needs to read at any time, even when going to the Imperial College.
The backpack is filled with books and some snacks.
When she returned home, Aunt Yang also brought cotton.
Li Xiaogong sent someone to buy it from a long way to Gaochang.
Take out a ball of white cotton, it seems to be of good quality.
The elasticity is also very good.
The couple had dinner, and Li Yue imitated her husband's movements, wrapping the cotton on the twister, and then patiently turning the twister to pull out the cotton thread.
When I feel a little tired, I lean on my husband’s strong back for a while.
The two of them were next to each other, and the little bear fell asleep on the ground early in the quiet room.
The two aunts wanted to open a dog hole before, but Li Yue refused. How could a good bear be raised as a dog?
When the food is sufficient, the bear is considered a relatively docile animal as long as you don't provoke it.
It's just that the bear at home wants to challenge whatever he sees.
There are still a few scabs on his arms, which were all scratched out by the little bear.
It seems that he is its biggest opponent.
After this incident, Li Yue locked it in a cage that day and starved it for the whole day.
This made him no longer dare to challenge the devil at will.
The process of drawing out the thread is repetitive and boring.
Looking back again, Li Yue had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
She is at the age when her body is growing, she can sleep very well now, and she breathes very hard.
Looking at her tender little face, Zhang Yang pinched her behind her back.
Li Yue murmured and opened her eyes slightly, grabbed her arms and continued to sleep, even rubbing her face with her face, her little face looked like she was enjoying it.
He liked her long, shiny black hair very much. Zhang Yang stroked her hair and messed up the neat bun.
