There were still tears in Xiao Sizi's eyes because she was scared. She opened her mouth several times and finally said, "Brother-in-law."
The Li Zheng Palace was quiet, only the little princess in the queen's arms was still crying.
The surrounding maids were lying on the ground. Princess Jin was nearly two years old, and she had only opened her mouth to call someone now. The first time she called was not her father or mother, but her brother-in-law.
"Queen, the little princess can speak now." The maid bowed and said.
Zhang Yang realized the situation and raised the little Sizi again, "It turns out you couldn't speak before."
Finally, little Sizi burst into tears facing this fierce face, and Zhang Yang had no choice but to hand her over to the palace maid here.
The queen handed the child to Li Yue and stopped crying in her mother's arms.
With the palace maid's comfort, little Sizi stopped crying. She still avoided looking at Zhang Yang.
Empress Changsun sighed: "This child has only spoken now. Normally, children after one year old can call people."
Li Yue consoled her: "There are also children who start talking after they are over two years old. Mother, don't worry too much."
The children's laughter could be heard outside the hall. Zhang Yang walked outside the hall and felt melancholy, what a big family this is.
Faced with so many younger brothers and sisters, Zhang Yang thought about how to raise such children.
Li Zhi is a very curious child, but Gao Yang still can't see what talent she has.
Li Lizhi is two years older than Xiao Wu. This girl is not as talented as Xiao Wu, but she is studious.
And Dongyang...
besides……
Not long after, Concubine Yang came with Li Ke.
Zhang Yang bowed slightly to Concubine Yang and looked at Li Ke.
Li Ke stood up straight and said, "Brother-in-law, your recent training has been quite effective."
The way this guy spoke, it was as if he was reporting military intelligence.
"As long as it works."
"May I ask my brother-in-law if there are any other training methods?"
"Have you made your soldiers read and write?"
When talking about this issue, Li Ke looked troubled, "Going back to my brother-in-law, looking for a wife in the Wei Mansion requires the general's permission, and it is difficult to find a wife."
Concubine Yang had already entered the palace and greeted the queen.
Zhang Yang touched the stubble on his chin. Xiao Sizi also cried when he saw him. Could it be that I really look too fierce?
"Your Highness, King of Shu, do I look fierce?"
Li Ke asked this sudden question and was a little confused for a moment. After a long time, he replied: "My brother-in-law is not fierce in appearance, he looks like a scholar."
In front of others, there will be some comfort in words.
This kid Li Ke is different. He has spoken strictly in the army since he was a child. It is the rule of the army to say exactly what is said.
He is a child who cannot lie.
Zhang Yang touched the stubble on his chin and nodded again.
"Brother-in-law, how should I find my wife?"
This question is like asking how to get rice into your mouth while holding a tachyon.
"Go to Chang'an City and look for it." Zhang Yang replied lightly.
Li Ke also blinked.
He is still a simple child, about the same age as Li Tai.
Not all children can live as smartly as that little fat man.
Zhang Yang sighed: "There are quite a few masters who are fishing for fame. I think you will be deceived. I will ask someone to arrange one for you. If you can't enter the Wei Mansion, you can pull the soldiers out to train and let the master teach outside the school."
"Thank you, brother-in-law, for your advice." Li Ke bowed and saluted.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu must remember that in addition to daily training, the supplement of cultural knowledge must not be left out. At least the soldiers in your hands must be able to read, write and read."
"What's the point of doing this?"
Zhang Yang took a breath when he was asked. It was very tiring to deal with a shrewd little fat man like Li Tai, and it was equally tiring to communicate with an honest and kind person like the prince, not to mention the horribly dull King of Shu in front of him.
Can’t the sons of Tian Khan be more balanced?
"Your Highness, King of Shu, there is no other reason for letting them read and write. It can make them smarter. For example, you can let them see the red building and let them see the dangers of the human heart. In this way, those killers will not be easily deceived. In the future
You won't be fooled by the enemy even if you go deep behind enemy lines."
Zhang Yang nodded again, "That's it. Stop asking. If you ask again I will beat you."
Li Ke stood aside silently, wanting to say in his heart that the Red Mansion is a **. Is it really okay to take this seriously in the declining world?
Not long after, an old eunuch walked over in small steps. He stood outside the hall and preached: "Queen, Tai Chi Hall is ready."
Empress Changsun then took Li Yue and Concubine Yang outside the palace and took a group of children to the Tai Chi Palace.
The Queen walked in the front, and Li Yue walked on one side.
Looking at himself again, Zhang Yang found that he was walking among a group of children, particularly conspicuous.
Walking all the way to Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian came out of the hall first.
"Zhang Yang, long time no see." Li Chengqian stepped forward quickly.
"The last time I saw His Highness the Crown Prince was just before New Year's Eve, so it wasn't too long ago."
"For Yu Gu, without Xiao De in the East Palace, Da'an and you are really lonely. I will often think of the way you argued with Xu Xiaode."
Zhang Yang said melancholy: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood. I ignored Xu Yushi when he was upset. He was the one arguing and it had nothing to do with me."
Li Chengqian smiled awkwardly but politely, "That's right. I still remember your annoyed expression."
When Li Shimin walked out of Ganlu Hall, everyone continued to move towards Tai Chi Hall.
Zhang Yang and the prince walked together and asked in a low voice: "How is the progress?"
Li Chengqian also whispered back: "Occasionally, there are letters exchanged."
"Occasionally?"
"About twice a month."
"Is it really all about missing you?"
Li Chengqian looked troubled, "I should be careful, I will always bear in mind the words you told me."
When I walked to the Tai Chi Hall, I heard the noise in the hall.
As the eunuch shouted loudly in front of the palace, the palace became quiet again.
Zhang Yang followed him into the hall, and there were people sitting on both sides of the hall.
The prince walked straight to his seat, and Zhang Yang scanned the group of people looking for where he wanted to sit.
Finally, a violent cough came from the hall. Hearing this, he saw Li Xiaogong, and there happened to be an empty seat next to him.
Everyone was sitting on the floor, and some people's sitting posture was not good.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Yang walked over some legs and came to the empty seat next to Li Xiaogong and sat down.
Li Yue held the child in her arms and wanted to sit next to the queen.
Seeing his wife sitting down in front, Zhang Yang withdrew his gaze.
"Zhang Shangshu, you and I meet again."
The voice came from behind. Zhang Yang looked back and saw that it was Ma Zhou, a round-faced and fat guy. He then turned to look at Li Xiaogong, "Is the censor also sitting in this position?"
After confirming again, the people sitting here are obviously members of the clan, or they are the same consort like themselves.
Li Xiaogong took a bite of the carrot and said, "Ma Zhou is a poor boy. Your Majesty thought he was humble, studious, and generous, so he arranged a place for him here."
Zhang Yang looked back at him again and said to himself: "What an extraordinary person."
“I’ve heard about Zhang Shangshu’s name for a long time, but I just got to see him today.”
Zhang Yang looked around again, and saw a man in front of him who was similar in age to himself. He couldn't help but ask: "Dare you ask if it's in person?"
"Tang Shanshi, Tang Jian, who lost his place because of Zhang Shangshu's remonstrance at Ganlu Hall and was banished to his hometown after being banned for several months, is my father."
Listening to the other party's self-introduction, Zhang Yang sat melancholy. The seating arrangement was really interesting.
Li Xiaogong added: "I know your difficulty. I cough because I hope you won't sit here. Who knows you might have the wrong idea."
Zhang Yang's face was expressionless, and he didn't know what to say about the various feelings in his heart, "Apart from arrangements, it's all a misunderstanding, right?"
"Crack, bang, bang..." Li Xiaogong was still chewing radish in his mouth.
Ma Zhou said with a smile on his face, "Zhang Shangshu was able to help the Tang Dynasty regain the Hexi Corridor at such a young age. It is really remarkable."
Zhang Yang replied in a low voice: "I am just lobbying. The person in charge of this matter is the Prince of Hejian County, and the people who handle it are many important officials in the court."
Tang Shanshi smiled and said: "Is it a coincidence that we recovered the four towns of Anxi?"
Zhang Yang looked troubled, "Everyone in Chang'an knows that I, Zhang Yang, am not involved in government affairs. I am lazy, eccentric and withdrawn. I even go to the Foreign Affairs Academy if I can. Is Brother Tang trying to make things difficult for me?" "
Tang Shanshi smiled and explained: "My father deserves it for his misdeeds. Your Majesty's kindness has preserved my father's name."
"Brother Tang, it's good if you understand things properly."
While talking, Zhang Yang looked at the bowls of dishes in front of him, including cut radishes and a large cooked leg of lamb, which seemed to be sprinkled with some salt.
There's even a head of garlic.
A group of palace maikos walked into the palace, and they waved their sleeves and danced to the sound of bells.
Then he looked sideways at Li Xiaogong, who was chewing garlic while watching the dance, tearing off a piece of meat and putting it into his mouth, eating it with gusto.
Ma Zhou smiled and said: "Even if Zhang Shangshu is not involved in government affairs and has made great contributions to the Foreign Affairs Commission, he is still a county prince."
The lamb leg meat is very woody, has little oil and water, and doesn't taste good.
Zhang Yang chewed a radish in his mouth, "So what if you are a county magistrate? You have a lot of achievements, but they are just fleeting. Life is so interesting, isn't it?"
Ma Zhou was speechless for a long while.
Tang Shanshi nodded, "Life is indeed very interesting. I admire Zhang Shangshu's open-mindedness."
Ma Zhou added: "Zhang Shangshu is alone. After all, he has no one to help him."
Watching the dance end and all the palace maids retreating, Zhang Yang replied in a low voice: "It's great to be alive alone. At least you don't have to worry about whether distant relatives at home will commit the serious crime of killing the Nine Clan and be implicated."
Li Xiaogong shook his head and smiled. Looking at Ma Zhou and Tang Shanshi, they looked like they had something stuck in their throats. This was the result of talking to this boy.
He often makes one or two simple sentences that make it impossible for people to refute, but if you think about it carefully, you still feel that there is some truth in it.
Cheng Yaojin was carrying the horse tree and planned to dance the horse tree to add to the fun.
There were many generals present, but Shacai among the generals had never read any books, let alone appreciate this dance.
With His Majesty's permission, Cheng Yaojin danced his horse and used a move to point the horse directly at Wei Zheng.
After only a brief pause, Cheng Yaojin continued to wave.
On the seat...
Ma Zhou coughed and said, "Zhang Shangshu, I feel that even if Tian Khan Rende commits a serious crime, it will not implicate the nine tribes. Since ancient times, there are very few people who can be punished by the nine tribes."
The Lantern Festival has been going on for an hour.
Li Xiaogong looked at the leg of lamb and frowned: "Isn't it to your liking?"
Zhang Yang explained: “There are still blood streaks inside this lamb leg, which means it’s not cooked enough.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a big hand reached out and took away the leg of lamb, and Li Xiaogong gnawed it fiercely.
The spear in Cheng Yaojin's hand was still dancing, and this time the tip of the spear fell in front of Wei Zheng again.
The repeated repetitions were obviously deliberate.
Cheng Yaojin just had the words "Xiang Zhuang Sword Dance" written on his face.
Once again, the tip of the spear fell in front of Wei Zheng's eyes.
The clay figurine was also very angry, not to mention Wei Zheng. Under the eyes of everyone, they saw Mr. Zheng slapping him away and said, "Cheng Yaojin, you are going too far."
Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly: "I didn't hurt you Wei Zheng at all."
Wei Zheng breathed heavily, "Why don't I impeach you for killing the cow? Do you want to murder me in the palace?"
Everyone's eyes turned to the two of them.
Cheng Yaojin put down the other end of the horse stall. It would be better if he didn't put it down. This time he put it down in front of Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was startled when he looked at the sharp spear tip. He slapped his gum and shouted angrily: "Old man, how dare you bully my scholar!"
A good Lantern Festival banquet is about to get noisy.
Li Shimin shouted: "Shut up! If you know your morals, stand down!"
Cheng Yaojin then saluted and glared at Wei Zheng, then handed the horse back to the guard in front of the palace, and he returned to his seat.
An eunuch bowed into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy is here."
Li Shimin nodded to let people in.
Zhang Yang moved towards Li Xiaogong, "Prince of Hejian County? There will be a Tibetan performance at this dinner?"
Li Xiaogong nodded.
Zhang Yang was curious again: "What can they perform? Is it possible to dance the Hu Xuan Dance?"
Li Xiaogong swallowed the mutton in his mouth, "I don't know much about it either."
He raised his head and looked at Li Shimin's position again, and also saw the queen. Next to the queen was his wife. The infant child was not crying and seemed to be asleep.
A short Tubo man walked into the hall.
Zhang Yang looked at the visitor and looked more and more familiar. After thinking about it several times, he remembered that he was the one who set the test for the disciples of Chang'an in Qujiang Pond during the Ghost Festival.
Tibet was defeated in the first battle, but Songtsen Gampo had not yet surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and he had promised to come to pay tribute this year but did not come.
According to the news from the Foreign Affairs Council, Songtsen Gampo is still building the Potala Palace.
The Tibetan man took out a water bag and spoke in Guanzhong dialect with a strange accent: "When the water bag breaks, the water will flow out. I have a way to prevent the water from flowing out. I don't know this method. Do you know it?"
?”
As he spoke, he took out an iron needle and pierced the water bag, and the water flowed out of the bag and fell to the ground of Tai Chi Hall.
The needle is very thin and the hole it pokes is very small.
Niu Jinda said loudly: "What can be done to prevent the water from flowing out?"
The Tibetan envoy said with a smile on his face, "If you can crack it and your wisdom is higher than that of my subordinates, then go and invite Tubo Zanpu to Chang'an to congratulate the Khan of Heaven."
The words contained a gun and a stick. Everyone present had no favorable impression of this Tibetan man. What does it mean to be wiser than him?
If he hadn't been stopped by his own son, Cheng Yaojin would have wanted to kill this arrogant Tibetan envoy right now.
"This Songtsen Gampotuan is so great that he dares to send someone to provoke us like this." Ma Zhou gritted his teeth.
