"It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. I admire you." Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said.
There was a wild atmosphere in the court of the Tang Dynasty. There were many people who would fight if they disagreed, and then argue with each other after the fight.
Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said, "I don't have any deep grudge against him, Cheng Yaojin, and it doesn't take ten years to do so."
After chatting for a few more words about the current situation in the court, seeing Wei Zheng leaving, Zhang Yang asked Li Chengqian in a low voice, "Why did Duke Zheng get into a fight with General Cheng Yaojin?"
Li Chengqian said with emotion: "This morning, General Cheng quarreled with Yu Shinan because of the loss of the food town. This time Yu Shinan was also granted the title of county magistrate. It involved the quality of the food town and the land, so they quarreled. It was not possible to give the food town."
Yu Shinan impeached General Cheng for having too many fiefdoms, and that's when the quarrel started."
"So that's it. Since it's a matter between Yu Shinan and General Cheng, why is Duke Zheng involved in it?"
"Mr. Zheng wanted to persuade him, but he was punched. He asked Mr. Yu Shinan to take action. He was afraid that his old bones would die on the spot. It was Mr. Zheng who received this punch to stop the quarrel. Otherwise, he would keep chattering and not know what to do.
How long are you going to keep arguing?"
Li Chengqian said with emotion: "Zheng Gong also had good intentions. Moreover, there are not many households that can live in the land, so my father will inevitably be biased. There is nothing we can do about it."
There are only a few acres of land around Chang'an City, Bashang, Jingyang, Lantian...
If you want a further location, you can only choose from the entire level.
Another piece of land in Weinan was given to Li Yue.
There are also a group of Li Shimin's sons and daughters who are still waiting to eat the fiefdom.
Reasonable allocation of limited resources has always been a difficult problem, and it also needs to be able to convince the public.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with him. No matter how difficult the choice is, it is still Li Shimin's business.
Li Shimin wanted to further gather power and use his title to win people's hearts. As for the method to resolve conflicts that he had talked to Li Shimin about last time, Li Shimin did not mention who came up with the idea at all. After it was used by Li Shimin, he enjoyed the favor of his ministers.
Call him wise and mighty, and then put the credit on himself.
"Qingque did not come to the morning court to listen to the government today."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei?"
"I heard that he also stayed in Qujiang Pond last night, and even asked his guards to go fishing. As of this morning, he did not come to listen to the government."
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly. If he had to pretend to be Hu Tu at this time, he must pretend to be Hu Tu.
"Oh...it would be great if Qingque could be sensible."
"Has Your Highness the Crown Prince eaten?"
Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head: "I just went to court before eating."
Li Yue came over with a food box, "Brother, why don't you eat first? My husband and I will continue to clean Chongwen Hall."
"I'll arrange some people to help you."
"There's no need to bother the people in the East Palace. We can handle every little thing ourselves."
"That's fine. After eating, I still have to listen to the teacher's lecture."
Li Chengqian's teacher was Li Gang. After coming to Chongwen Hall for so many years, he could be regarded as a neighbor of half of the East Palace, but he had never met Li Gang.
He opened the food box and took out two bowls of cold vegetables, a bowl of fried meat with asparagus, and a vegetable rice made of wild vegetables and millet.
Sitting in the sunshine of Chongwen Hall, the three of them ate quietly.
"If my father decrees that you should serve in the Ministry of Rites again, would you be willing to do so?" Li Chengqian suddenly said.
Li Yue looked calm and ate her food slowly.
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Are you going to serve in the Ministry of Etiquette again?"
Li Chengqian nodded, "When Gao Fuxing went to serve in the Ministry of Rites, he was too headstrong. The envoy he sent to Tibet has not returned yet, and is still being detained by Songtsen Gampo."
Zhang Yang nodded as he ate his meal, treating it as gossip.
"His talents and learning are indeed good, but it is also because of his family background that it is inevitable that he will be arrogant and arrogant. My father sent him to the Hongwen Hall and hoped that he could gain more experience."
"I have never had any contact with Brother Gao, and I don't know much about his personality." Zhang Yang continued: "I also made mistakes in the Ministry of Rites, and now I have learned a lesson. This Chongwen Palace is very good. It can make me calm down. It's good.
Read well and learn a lot."
"Being humble and studious is a good quality. I hope you will be like this in the future."
"How can I be humble and studious? I just read books to relieve my boredom."
The wind in this season is a bit cold, but the sunshine is very warm, the temperature is suitable, and the fresh air is refreshing. When the wind blows, people's spirits are also lifted.
There were guards and maids coming and going outside the East Palace.
Li Chengqian said again: "I still hope that you can continue to be in the Ministry of Rites."
Zhang Yang said helplessly: "I have already made a mistake once in the Ministry of Rites, and besides, I need His Majesty's permission before I can return to the Ministry of Rites. I want to study hard these days."
"Forget it, I hope Gao Xingxing is so humble and studious."
Li Chengqian is a kind person and a person who values emotions. This is the second time that he has spoken for Gao Jingcheng.
A loyal and benevolent prince is good, but a prince will also become the king of a country in the future. Being a prince who puts too much emphasis on emotions is not a good thing.
The prince's education was Li Shimin's own family affair, and Li Shimin also designated Li Gang as the prince's teacher.
Don't interfere too much in the prince's affairs.
At best, it was a business cooperation with Li Tai, and it might be a bit of a joke in Li Shimin's eyes.
As long as it can give Li Tai some positive influence, Li Shimin is happy to see it happen, such as Kuo Di Zhi.
After noon, Li Gang walked into the East Palace.
This was the first time I saw Li Gang. The old man with white beard and hair had a serious look on his face.
Li Chengqian hurriedly greeted him and took Li Gang into the East Palace.
"Brother, do you want your husband to make up for the mistakes Gao Jingxing made?"
"It looks like this." Zhang Yang took a bite of bamboo shoots.
"Will my husband help Gao Xingyuan make up for this mistake?"
"What do you think?"
Li Yue slowly put down the bowl in his hand, stood up and faced the sun, "It is wrong for a prince who is indecisive but values friendship. He does not have the aura to dominate the world. The husband should not make up for the mistakes of high execution."
The aura of my daughter-in-law has changed a lot in the past two years. She used to be weak and weak, but now she is sixteen years old, and her aura is much stronger, and she feels like she is challenging the truth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Perhaps people who have studied mathematics, physics and chemistry, dare to overlook the world and argue with reason, and break the casserole to ask the truth have this kind of aura.
A kind of courage and courage that dares to challenge the pedantry of the world.
Li Yue came back to her senses with a bright smile, "The prince still needs to learn a lot. If he doesn't learn half of the ruthlessness of his father, he will be controlled by his ministers in the future."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It would be bad if the people in the East Palace heard this."
Li Yue smiled at the East Palace guards, which made them stand in awe in front of the East Palace, thinking it was the friendly smile of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Clues can be seen from some past events. As her husband who grew up with her, he can feel her recent changes.
When she was doing the experiment, she would not hesitate to hang the piglet under the basket and let the piglet go up to the sky and then fall down to death. When she was hungry and wanted to eat rabbit meat, she would not pity the cute rabbit like other women.
Such a small life.
She would not hesitate to have a rabbit killed and roasted, then admire the deliciousness of the rabbit meat.
Her body is getting healthier and stronger, and she is getting stronger and stronger. It can be said that my wife has been a strong child since she was a child. She also worked hard to survive when she was seriously ill as a child, and there is a kind of resilience in her bones that ordinary children do not have.
They would discuss government affairs at home, and they would also talk about the prince here. His growth path became more and more strange.
Zhang Yang shook his head. Maybe he was overthinking. There have been many women like this since ancient times. Women in the Central Plains have an aura that makes women no weaker than men. Hua Mulan, Li Qingzhao, Liang Hongyu...
After cleaning up Chongwen Hall, the couple took some books and left.
Li Shimin happened to arrive here. Li Junxian stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, the consort and the princess have just left. Do they need to be recalled?"
"No need." Li Shimin waved his hand.
Pushing open the palace door, Li Shimin walked into the palace. Rows of bookshelves in Chongwen Palace were neatly arranged, and books were placed neatly on them. The books were arranged neatly.
Li Shimin looked at the sign hanging above and asked, "Speak the text and explain the characters?"
Looking at this bookshelf again, looking at the types of books on it, they are indeed books that explain Chinese characters.
Looking at other bookshelves, I saw another sign, "Geography?"
After walking around here, I saw that the books here are arranged in categories. This classification is much more precise than the classification used in Hongwen Museum.
There is no dust on the bookshelf, even the books have been dried.
Looking at the ground, you can still see reflections of people.
"He did a good job of cleaning up." Li Shimin walked out of Chongwen Hall again.
Li Junxian whispered: "Your Majesty, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort would take some scrolls and leave every day, and would send the scrolls back after a while. This has been the case since Zhang Yang entered the Chongwen Palace as Chaoyi Lang.
.”
Li Shimin waved his sleeves, "I think he is a country boy. I hope he can read more books and understand more etiquette. I don't know how his reading has been these days? He won't report back to me."
Li Junxian was silent, "Your Majesty, we found out that the Prince of Hejian County has been buying something called cotton from the Western Regions recently."
"cotton?"
"I heard it's used to keep out the cold."
"I understand." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he walked towards the East Palace.
Your Majesty did not ask any more questions, and Li Junxian had no choice but to remain silent and not say anything more. Your Majesty was concerned about the world and did not want to be bothered by such trivial matters.
Before leaving the imperial city, Zhang Yang also visited the Ministry of Industry.
Yan Liben, who was busy, was still respectful when he saw the couple.
"Master Yan, I also want some sand and stone building materials, and I want to decorate my home."
This request made Yan Liben hesitate. He had previously agreed to provide building materials because of the flush toilet issue, but now the flush toilet issue has been settled.
He was a little embarrassed to ask for building materials.
Li Yue said politely: "Our family can give money to the Ministry of Industry according to the market price outside, and we will not take money from the Ministry of Industry in vain."
If anyone in the clan wanted something, including the emperor's relatives, they would go to the Ministry of Industry and ask for something, so they would just take it.
Since it's okay to give money, Yan Liben nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yang said: "At that time, all the necessary things and accounts will be sent to the Ministry of Industry."
After finishing the work in the department, the couple returned home, and Li Yue had to practice swordsmanship with Aunt Yang again.
Following Aunt Yang's movements, Li Yue waved the horizontal knife in his hand. Compared with the previous slowness, Li Yue was now much more skillful.
Except for some housework and needlework, she learned other skills very quickly.
She turned around and slashed, and the wooden board in front of her was split into two pieces. The move was simple and without unnecessary movements, and it had the momentum of killing with one knife. The blade of the horizontal sword had a sharp light in the sun.
After practicing a set of sword techniques, she skillfully sheathed the sword, took a deep breath to calm her breathing, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Take a drink of water, sit down and read a book quietly.
Before the exhaustion of practicing swordsmanship was over, she could quickly calm down and read a book with concentration. She didn't know how she did it.
Starting from getting up early, she also had to do calculations, read books, learn to cook, practice swordsmanship and then read books. She packed her day full of things to do.
Zhang Yang picked up the wooden board that had been cut in half on the ground. The cut was very smooth.
"Aunt Yang."
"What are your orders from the consort?"
"Go to the Ministry of Industry and buy some wood."
"Let's make arrangements now."
Aunt Wang patiently chewed paper pulp in her own yard.
It was almost dusk when Aunt Yang came back from buying wood. She talked about what she had learned at the market and brought a letter from Empress Changsun.
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei finally left Qujiang Pond, which also confirmed what the Prince Consort said. The memory of fish is very short. A fish that has been hooked will bite the hook a second time."
"The people of the Tang Dynasty have improved their understanding of fish, which is a gratifying thing."
Li Yue glanced at Zhang Yang who was whittling wood, and then looked at the content of the letter, "The queen mother said that my father would like to ask my husband what results he got from studying today."
Fix the polished rivets on the two wooden bars, "Is this what your father wants to know?"
"Of course that's not what my father wants to know. He said he came here to ask, but in fact he has the intention of re-employing his husband. The results of his studies are not important. What is important is where he wants to arrange his husband."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Yang smiled knowingly, "I don't want to be used by my father like this."
Li Yue sharpened her ink again and wrote a reply letter to Aunt Yang, "Auntie, please give this reply letter to your mother."
"Here."
Aunt Yang left with this volume of letters.
"My husband knows what kind of reply I gave to my mother."
"You said your husband is very successful in his studies and can join the community at any time?"
Li Yue blinked her pretty eyes, "I said in the letter that my husband still has a lot of confusion when it comes to studying, and needs to read more books. I have been studying hard recently to understand the truth."
The letter was sent to the palace. I don't know what Li Shimin's expression was when he saw the letter.
When the letter entered the palace, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any reply.
Li Shimin's arrangement has come to nothing.
A letter from his daughter-in-law prevented the emperor from coming to power. This was also because she was Li Shimin's daughter. If it had been anyone else, he might have been dragged into the palace by Li Shimin and given a hard lesson.
Throughout the month, Zhang Yang was busy making preparations for the shower construction, and Li Yue rarely went out at home.
I still want to go to the village and have a look. I don’t know how the construction of my wife’s castle is going?
When they arrived at the village, they saw Li Xiaogong's wife crying, fussing and throwing things away, and wanted Li Xiaogong to go back to live in Chang'an City.
He also said that he didn’t want to have a home anymore. Was there a wild woman outside?
After burning down the government office of the Ministry of Rites, he has not returned to Chang'an City since last year.
Li Yue didn't like to get involved in other people's family affairs, so she went to see her wife when she came to the village.
Seeing Li Xiaogong's son Li Chongyi looking at this scene with great worry, Zhang Yang came closer and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Chongyi."
Li Chongyi sighed: "This is causing trouble for the prince-in-law."
"It's nothing. It would be nice to make a noise and make a fuss. It will show that our village is energetic and lively."
Hearing what Zhang Yang said, Li Chongyi still looked guilty, "Shilang Zhang is really... really special."
"If Prince Hejian still doesn't return to Chang'an City this time, it will be very troublesome."
Li Chongyi said worriedly: "I don't know what to do. The house is also in a mess."
"How about moving here as a family."
"But my mother doesn't want to live in a village like this."
"Young Master Chongyi can live in the village with Prince Hejian, and you can watch him when you come. He is not afraid of gossip outside, at least his own son can watch."
Li Chongyi waved his hand and said, "That's so annoying."
"If this doesn't work, then beat the person unconscious with a stick, then tie him up and carry him back to Chang'an City."
"Your idea is very good."
"I was joking."
"No need to say anything, Mr. Zhang, I am serious."
Unexpectedly, Li Chongyi nodded immediately, and what was even more unexpected was that Li Chongyi actually did this.
Taking advantage of Li Xiaogong's inattention while drinking, he hit him on the back of the head with a stick, causing him to fall down on the spot.
"It's really admirable that Mr. Chongyi can be so cruel to his biological father." Zhang Yang sighed.
"What a decent man it is to hide in the village all day long. Of course he has to go home. What are you talking about?" Li Yuan cursed and almost gave Li Chongyi a thumbs up.
There was still some blood on the back of Li Xiaogong's head, and he didn't know if he was alright, so he was carried back to Chang'an City. Now Li Xiaogong's wife stopped making trouble or crying, and returned to her normal state of being a noble lady of Chang'an City.
He looked so arrogant, said a few words of greetings to Li Yue, and then left.
The folk customs of Chang'an City are fierce.
Li Xiaogong hid in the village for a year and a half without returning home, which was outrageous to his family, and Li Yuan also scorned it.
Faced with an outrageous father, Li Chongyi, a son, dared to attack his biological father, knocking him unconscious with a sap and carrying him home.
There is a kind of family warmth in the barbaric behavior. What is this feeling?
Fortunately, there is now one less freeloader in the village.
Zhang Yang walked to Li Yuan who was playing with the little bear and said, "Your Majesty, I have a worry."
"What kind of worries? You might as well just say it."
"You live in the village like this, and His Majesty also invited you to go back. If you don't go back, the palace often comes to check on me, and I am afraid that tens of thousands of troops will surround my village."
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
"What are you afraid of? Even if the village is surrounded, the person who wants to take it is me, not you, so what are you afraid of? The worst thing is that I don't want this old face."
"I don't want my old face anymore..." Zhang Yang asked in a low voice: "I don't know how you don't want your old face."
