"Wait a minute." Zhang Yang interrupted: "Does this also need to be written into the family rules?"
Li Yue nodded heavily, "Who asked my husband to spy on me sleeping?"
Zhang Yang held his forehead, "I didn't peek at you sleeping. You have the habit of kicking the quilt when you sleep. I just covered you with the quilt to prevent you from catching a cold."
House Rule 6: Eat rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice at least three times a month.
Li Yue wrote this and nodded with satisfaction.
Hearing the sound of rain falling on the roof of his house, Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "Sometimes plans can't keep up with changes, and family rules have to keep pace with the times. I think we'll leave it like this for now. We can slowly modify it in the future, or add more.
"
I'm afraid that she will write some outrageous family rules again.
"My mother said that if we don't control it, the family will be in chaos."
After listening to Li Yue's speech, Zhang Yang looked at the ceiling of his house. What did the Empress Changsun say to her daughter-in-law? Could it be that she was talking about housekeeping?
If you think about it carefully, the queen is in charge of the harem. The queen must be very experienced in management.
After all, it is not enough to say that a queen in charge of the harem has no management skills.
"Even if the Prince of Hejian County burned down the Rites Office, his father did not punish him. Why did he have to run away so many times?" Li Yue asked suddenly.
"Prince Hejian County was one of the people who followed His Majesty to conquer the world. There are only a few of the heroes left in those days. In addition, due to the meritorious service done by the Ministry of Rites, we use faults to compensate for merits, and neither rewards nor punishments are given." Zhang
Yang Man replied casually.
Seeing that her husband was still polishing a small disc, Li Yue came closer and whispered: "Even if you don't reward or punish your father, you shouldn't do nothing? This is a big sin for burning down the government office of the Ministry of Rites."
"Perhaps your father is overthinking it. He plans to re-establish the Ministry of Rites, so he will do whatever he can."
"That's not right." Li Yue whispered against Zhang Yang's shoulder: "If my father had punished me, I would have taken the Hejian County Prince to prison. Seeing that he doesn't care about anything now, then
To make the Hejian County King fearful is an imperial power. Instead of cutting someone off with a knife, it is better to place the knife on the person's neck, which is more of a deterrent."
Zhang Yang smiled dryly and said, "Hahaha, what kind of imperial power? The world is beautiful, don't think of people's hearts in such a terrible way, okay?"
Li Yue knew it all and stared, "My husband has seen through it a long time ago, right?"
"I didn't see through it, or your father had forgotten about it a long time ago."
"Today, I saw that my husband refused to rescue or intercede with the Hejian County Prince. It seemed like a farce. My husband knew the danger and naturally could not participate. His wife also thought about the whole family, so she let the Hejian County Prince
Staying in Chang'an City, crying and making trouble like this is all for the sake of his father. If he wants to be punished or arrested, he must obey the will, just to let his father know that he will die and the whole family will die together. His wife is acting with good intentions in order to save the whole family.
"Bitter, if you don't let Prince Hejian step out of Chang'an City, you are waiting for punishment from your father. This is wisdom."
"Is it possible that his wife is afraid that others will gossip about her? She thinks that the head wife is not doing things properly, and she is angry and leaves the head of the family."
"This is a villain's opinion, huh."
Li Yue yawned and returned to her room early.
It's good to live a life that's a bit dull. When Li Yue met Empress Changsun this time, she suddenly felt that she had grown a lot.
My previous wife was too stupid to think of this.
The world is not beautiful, Li Shimin is sinister.
The reality is cruel, and it is good to let the daughter-in-law live simply, at least without worries.
Early the next morning, the couple had breakfast quietly.
The two aunts have finished a lot of paper in the past few days, and the yard of the aunt's house is covered with paper every day.
Watching Aunt Wang pushing a small cart of paper into the yard, the paper was rolled up like cloth. This was Li Yue's labor task today. She and her two aunts had to cut the paper into pieces that could be used for printing.
.
After breakfast, Zhang Yang went out early to go to the East Palace for duty.
I kept thinking in my mind why my daughter-in-law suddenly thought of setting up family rules, well... I was upset about it.
Halfway through the journey, on Zhuque Street, a figure flashed into his eyes. Zhang Yang took a few steps back and saw a guy wearing a rag squatting on the roadside.
Cheng Chumo looked up from the rags and grinned, "How is it?"
Zhang Yang also knelt down and looked at him, "Brother Chu Mo, what do you mean?"
First he looked around, then Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "Isn't that what you said? A certain family wants to keep a low profile."
Zhang Yang gently patted his forehead and suppressed the urge to beat Cheng Chumo with his calmness. It was not without reason that General Cheng Yaojin had an angry look on his face.
"Brother Chu Mo, do you think you are so low-key?"
Cheng Chumo shook the rag on his body, "Aren't you low-key?"
Zhang Yang looked around again, "Chu Mo, this is Zhuque Street. Are there any beggars around?"
"No."
"Then tell me, is it particularly eye-catching for you to be the only beggar squatting?"
"Aren't beggars low-key enough?"
Zhang Yang stopped talking and once again suppressed his anger to beat him, "I don't mean low-key like this. What I mean is that you should blend in with the masses and hide in the city."
Cheng Chu remained silent and said nothing.
"understand?"
"don't know."
Hearing his reply so crisply, Zhang Yang patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, I don't blame you."
Cheng Chumo blinked, "Who is to blame?"
"I blame God for being blind." Zhang Yang sighed in distress: "It's better to stop keeping a low profile and change back quickly, I'm afraid."
Under Cheng Chu's silent gaze, Zhang Yang walked away for a few steps, then came back and looked up and down, "Well, that's right."
"Nothing is wrong."
"You are extremely talented."
Cheng Chumo snorted coldly, "Ha, you still need to say it?"
"Ask Shangguan Yi to write a list of your main personnel and arrangements and send it to the village. I will go to the East Palace first."
"Don't worry, it will be done well."
"Why."
Everything has been going poorly this April. Ever since I met Cheng Yaojin once, nothing has gone smoothly. It's really weird.
When I walked into the Zhuque Gate, I saw a group of officials who had just gone to court. It was supposed to be a bit early to go to court at this time.
Everyone in the court looked solemn.
In view of the fact that I am just a member of the East Palace, I should not inquire too much about a small civil servant, and I should pretend not to hear even their whispers.
Zhang Yang quickened his pace and walked to the East Palace by familiar roads. Li Chengqian and Zhang Daan stood in front of the East Palace.
"It's such a pity that I didn't go hunting with Gu yesterday."
Zhang Yang stood still and said, "Has your Royal Highness gained anything?"
"There are quite a few prey in Gu."
"Are there any other gains besides prey?"
Li Chengqian thought for a while, "That's not true."
Standing next to Li Chengqian, Zhang Yang looked into the palace behind him, "Huh? Where is Mr. Zheng?"
Li Chengqian explained: "I was left behind by my father. The situation in the Western Region has changed. This matter was discussed at court this morning. Gaochang's..."
"Stop!" Zhang Yang interrupted, "Your Highness, I don't have much education, and I don't understand the affairs of the court. It's not my place to think about. I'm just a member of the East Palace."
Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly, "You are really..."
"You should do your own thing in your position, and don't interfere with things that shouldn't be done."
"It makes sense. Some people make arrogant comments about government affairs and speak nonsense outside of their positions. I hate these people the most."
"Well, the eldest grandson also discussed the government affairs in the East Palace before." Zhang Yang frowned and said: "As the servant of the east palace, accompanying the prince to study, I think I should impeach the eldest grandson to fulfill my duties."
Li Chengqian's expression became more and more embarrassed, "Actually, Changsun Chong is quite talented and knowledgeable, and his knowledge is also good."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong. It's fine if Changsun Chong talks nonsense to others. The lower officials will pretend that they didn't hear it. But the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince. At the most serious level, this is to instigate the Crown Prince to achieve his own goals. Let's tolerate it for the time being. If
The next time he is dismissed, not only will he be impeached, but he will also be given a good beating."
"Just impeach him. No need to beat him up. I don't want there to be any enmity between you."
This is Li Chengqian's weakness. He can't distinguish between political opinions and friendships. It would be better for Li Shimin to be a person that the whole family is afraid of.
As soon as Li Jiancheng died, Li Shimin's other brothers tried to hide and run away one by one.
Even Li Xiaogong didn't have time to hide. He was not safe as the Minister of Rites, and he was so cowardly that he didn't even dare to let out a fart.
Compared with Li Shimin's ruthlessness, Li Chengqian is too kind.
Kindness is good, but people with ulterior motives will take advantage of it.
"Wouldn't there be any grudges if we don't beat him? The ministers of Taiji Palace argue with each other. If they can't argue with the principles, they will fight with each other. This is not a grudge, it is a stance, a very firm stance, especially Mr. Zheng.
You can always show off your aura and kill yourself to thank the world, I appreciate it very much."
"What exactly is the Western percussion instrument you talked about last time?" Li Chengqian changed the subject.
Zhang Yang picked up the water bag on his waist and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "It's actually a drum set. I wanted to make it for the prince to relax, but I regretted it."
"Repented?"
"The sound of drums will attract the defenders in the palace. If people surround the East Palace when the drums sound, they think that the prince is planning to rebel. How can we explain this?"
"..."
Li Chengqian sat down on the stone steps in front of the palace, "I find it very troublesome to talk to you."
Zhang Yang smiled dryly and said: "I am a very quick-thinking person, which makes the prince laugh."
The two were silent for a while, then Zhang Yang stood up and said, "Let me make a sandbag for the prince."
The East Palace is not very big, so it is not difficult to find a cloth bag. There is a place covered with weeds in the corner of the East Palace. This place should be used to plant some landscaping. Zhang Yang filled the cloth bag with sand and soil and found it in the East Palace.
A shorter tree.
The branches of this tree are thick and strong.
Hang the sandbags on the branches.
But the shape of the sandbag was not very good, it was an oval shape. Zhang Yang punched the sandbag hard and shook it. He nodded and said, "It's not bad. Your Highness, please give it a try."
Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Yang and punched him, "What's the use of this sandbag?"
"The sandbag is good, but it leaks sand." Zhang Yang patted the sand in his hand and said: "His Royal Highness, imagine it as the most annoying person, hit it hard with your fists, hit it hard, until you hit it yourself
Not only can you exercise yourself by not moving, but you can also vent your worries."
"Is this really what it's like?"
Zhang Yang said calmly: "It's just a sandbag."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and punched the sandbag one after another.
"Try harder and bring out all the anger, past grievances, and past dissatisfactions hidden in your heart." Zhang Yang whispered slowly behind Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian remained silent and continued to punch one after another until his fists became faster and faster and harder.
The sandbag kept shaking, and he had already entered the state.
Zhang Daan watched silently, staring at the shaking sandbag.
Even the eunuchs at the East Palace looked over curiously and stopped to look at the prince who was struggling to hit the sandbag.
Every time the sandbag is punched, sand will fall on the prince's body. It would be better if he was wrapped in layers of linen.
It's just a temporary thing, so it can be used.
The power of his fists became smaller and smaller, and Li Chengqian sat down on the ground tiredly. His hands were still shaking from the constant beating. There were red marks on his fists and even some scratches on his skin.
Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat, and now the sand stuck to his face when it encountered sweat.
"How is His Royal Highness feeling now?" Zhang Yang asked in a low voice.
"Much better." Li Chengqian stood up holding the tree, "I feel refreshed and my whole body feels much more relaxed."
"This is a psychological effect. Sometimes some knots remain in the heart, like depression and illness. Especially the prince's body should exercise more. Get up half an hour early every day to play with sandbags, and then go to the Tai Chi Hall to listen to politics. This way
The effect will be better, and it can also relieve your sleepiness and boost your spirit."
Li Chengqian took a sip of cold water and said, "They say you are well versed in health preservation. Even General Qin Qiong has accepted your favor. He is still recuperating and is said to be much better in recent days."
Zhang Yang respectfully raised his hands and said: "It's just a little knowledge. I have been observing the prince for the past two days. The first thing I need to treat is the symptoms of the prince's physical weakness. He has always been pampered and inactive for a long time, which will easily lead to a decrease in the human body's circulatory capacity. Prince
Do you often lose your appetite when eating, and do you have difficulty in defecating early in the morning?"
Seeing that Li Chengqian was silent, Zhang Yang added: "The dull complexion of His Highness the Crown Prince is not a sign of health. The Crown Prince is at his most energetic and young age. If he exercises more every day, this problem can be solved."
"Okay." Li Chengqian took a deep breath, "According to what you said, I want to hang sandbags on this tree."
Zhang Yang closed his eyes and endured such outrageous words, and said: "Why are there so many sandbags hanging on this tree? Is there anything about this tree that offends the prince?"
Li Chengqian laughed loudly, "If I like this sandbag, I will naturally hang more sandbags."
"It's enough for one person to hit a sandbag." Zhang Yang paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "It's not me who wants to hit you."
Looking at Zhang Daan aside, Zhang Yang added again: "Exercising alone is indeed a bit boring. Daan will accompany the prince to hit the sandbags from now on."
"Here." Zhang Daan replied with a straight face.
Li Chengqian washed his hands and wiped away the sweat, "You just said that you should treat the orphan's physical condition first, but what is the second step?"
"Secondly..." Halfway through his words, Zhang Yang said melancholy: "As for this secondly, take your time, it can't be changed overnight."
