There are many things he wants to do in this life. Zhang Yang looked at the other end of the banquet, where Yan Liben was helped away by Li Tai's people.
Lishan's wine was so strong that he would probably not be able to catch up with the palace's New Year's Eve banquet. Lishan's wine had a characteristic. After getting drunk, he would feel dizzy and wake up very thirsty.
The wine brewed in the winery is not considered to be good. It is characterized by being easily intoxicating and makes you feel uncomfortable after being drunk.
Like Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays. Drinking too much of this kind of drink will give you a headache and dry mouth.
There is probably nothing wrong with the brewing method. The texture of the koji must be well adjusted. If you want to make good wine, the koji must be good. So until Lishan cultivates good koji, the future drinks will be like this.
It stands to reason that the wine in Lishan is sold to people from the Western Regions. What the people in the Western Regions drink has nothing to do with Guanzhong.
Fortunately, Li Shimin used the public property for personal use and took all these drinks to the courtiers, half-sold and half-rewarded.
The emperor was also a man who used official matters for private purposes.
Li Yue got up and walked home. Her aunt also returned home. She looked at the child in her arms and whispered: "Your Highness, this little prince has really beautiful eyes."
Both his daughter's and son's eyes resemble his father's, especially the son's face shape which is almost exactly the same as his father's.
When a daughter is upset and angry, it is very similar to when her father is angry.
Li Yue sighed: "Aunt, it's obvious that the children came out of my belly, why do they always look more like my husband?"
The aunt smiled and said: "Your Highness, when you were a child, you looked like your father, but when you grow up, you will look like your mother."
"Yeah?"
Li Yue looked back at her son, who was looking around. This child was very strong from the moment he was born. Every breath he took was very hard when he was born, and he is still doing it now.
The aunt mentioned the child in her arms and said, "This young prince's nose is very similar to that of the princess."
The couple became parents not long ago, and their first daughter is only three years old. Sometimes it feels strange, but people who are familiar with her will know whose child it is at a glance.
But my daughter was raised by bears, and she is very close to bears.
Now Her Royal Highness is in her twenties, and her temperament is more solemn and dignified.
The county prince is also in his twenties, and the couple is growing up.
Zhang Yang usually lives a very casual life, but now he has the aura that the male protagonist of Lishan should have after dressing up well.
Li Yue looked at her husband who was walking aside and said, "I heard from Princess Qingque that the court has started talking about the Daming Palace again recently."
Hearing this, Zhang Yang said suspiciously: "Isn't this matter already concluded?"
Li Yue nodded and said: "At the beginning of winter, the court did come to a conclusion, but when I was in Xiu Mu, my father had a long talk with the Prime Minister and Duke Zhao. Even if the construction of the Daming Palace was not at the moment, it would not be possible in the past.
It will be built later when the time comes."
The emperor still arranged for people to be stationed in Longshouyuan, which just shows that at least until now, he has not given up on the land of Longshouyuan.
Maybe Li Shimin just felt that the current Chang'an Palace was not suitable for living.
The couple walked into the study and planned to continue processing the files in front of them. Li Yue went to take a nap first.
Aunt Wang coaxed the child to sleep and said, "I heard today that Xu Jingzong often goes to meet His Majesty alone."
"Perhaps it's because of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. Envoys from all over the world come to congratulate you at the Great Court. He is probably quite busy."
Zhang Yang replied lightly, but as soon as he thought about it, he put down the file in his hand. He remembered the words of the teacher's reminder. The teacher is a person who is good at calculating people's hearts, otherwise he would not have used an almost absurd behavior at that time to make people feel sad.
Li Shimin had the courage to launch the Xuanwumen Revolution.
The teacher had said at the beginning that he, the Marquis of Lishan County, was not from the same family as Xu Jingzong.
Back then, everyone worked together in the Ministry of Rites and hung out in the court. Now Xu Jingzong has become the Minister of Rites, and with his ability, he is fully qualified to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.
But how Li Shimin arranged for him is another matter. Now that I think about what the teacher said, you and Xu Jingzong are not the same person after all.
Maybe they really are not the same person, everyone has their own goals, and currently I and Xu Jingzong still maintain a superior-subordinate relationship.
One day Xu Jingzong can be completely independent, and now he has been working hard towards this goal.
Prince Hejian also said that the Ministry of Rites cannot be bullied, so he chose Xu Jingzong.
Zhang Yang let out a long breath and continued to mark the files and maps.
After taking a nap for an hour, Li Yue took some steamed buns warmed by her aunt and ate them while reading the files.
After a long time, Li Yue relaxed her back and said, "The only land left is Gaoling."
Zhang Yang took a deep breath and said, "There are only three volumes left."
It was supposed to be New Year's Eve celebrations, and Aunt Yang also came back with Xiao Qingqing. The two aunts felt a little distressed when they saw the two owners of Lishan. The couple still couldn't let go of what they were doing, and they had to continue to be busy.
In the afternoon, Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong came to Lishan. Seeing the two elders, Zhang Yang felt warm in his heart.
Lishan has close neighbors and elders to take care of.
Li Xiaogong seemed to have just woken up from drunkenness. He took a sip of tea and said: "Chu Mo went to Chang'an City to meet his elders. No matter how stupid this kid is, he took his wife to see his family. If he doesn't go, I will tie him up.
.”
"That's what Chu Mo is like. Escape can only be used for a while."
"Yes." Li Xiaogong couldn't help but nodded, "He is the eldest son of the Cheng Yaojin family, and he will inherit the family business."
Putting down the tea bowl in his hand, Li Xiaogong grabbed the dried meat on the side and whispered: "Qingque said he would come in a minute. I heard that you still have a lot of soy sauce beef at home. Don't hide it. Let's take it out for dinner together tonight."
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, "Did His Highness King Jin say that?"
Li Xiaogong was a little proud, "Zhinu, this kid has good intentions, but he is easily bullied."
Li Yuan smiled heartily, "The children are gone, and Lishan seems deserted."
Not long after, Li Tai and his Princess Wei also arrived, and the family started preparing for the evening meal.
In Li Xiaogong's words, the county princes and princesses of Lishan were not easily seen in front of others, and most likely would not go down the mountain at night, so everyone went up the mountain together.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not long after, Li Jing also came with the red whisk girl.
Zhang Yang packed up the tables and chairs by the Huaqing Pool and saw Li Yue and Hong Funu discussing something.
At night, the meal for the night was also prepared. The meal on Lishan Mountain was a simple hot pot meal. Three small stoves were placed on the table. Everyone sat around and the three hot pots were placed on the table.
Hong Fu Nu whispered: "The County Marquis, I just told Her Royal Highness the Princess that you would be willing to help inquire about the Qiu Bearded Guest."
Hearing this, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong, and Li Tai all looked over.
There has been no news about this person since Li Jing, Hong Fu Nu and Qiu Bearded Guest broke up.
His Majesty also sent people to inquire. It is said that it is not difficult for the emperor to track down a person. I don't know if Li Shimin deliberately concealed it, or if no one went to inquire at all. There has been no news about this matter until now.
As soon as they heard that Zhang Yang was going to help Hongfu Nu and Li Jing inquire about the bearded guest, everyone turned their attention.
Zhang Yang took out some spinach from the pot and put it in his bowl. "We made this salt and pepper ourselves. I don't know if it will suit your taste."
Hong Fu Nu put down the chopsticks in her hand, obviously looking displeased.
Li Jing sighed: "Zhang Yang, I heard that you have some influence in Liaodong?"
"To be honest, General, the troops and horses in Liaodong were led by Mr. Wen Yanbo's son Wen Ting. These troops and horses did not belong to the Ministry of War, nor did they belong to the Liaodong Prefecture. We agreed with Mr. Wen Yanbo to capture Goguryeo.
Leave all the troops, horses, and people in his clan to me."
"This army is not large in number, and it is all arranged by Da'an. Currently, I have this force in my hands but it is not under my control."
Li Yue calmly ate her meal without saying anything.
Looking at General Li Jing's expression, Zhang Yang said discouragedly: "I can try and arrange for people to find out the news about the Qiu Bearded Guest."
After saying this, Hong Fu Nu raised her wine bowl and said loudly: "If we can find a bearded man, a certain Zhang Chuchen owes you Lishan a huge favor."
Zhang Yang quickly toasted in unison, "You are my daughter's teacher. You don't have to be like this. I can only say that I will do my best."
Hong Fu Nu nodded heavily.
Things returned to normal at the dinner table. After Xiao Qingqing woke up, she crawled into Li Yuan's arms and asked her great-grandfather to bring her some food.
Li Xiaogong rarely drank, so he peeled a salted duck egg, put it into a rice bowl, and mixed it with rice to eat. It was also very fragrant.
I rarely eat rice on weekdays. The weather in Lishan was not good last year, so the rice harvest was not much.
Rice is scarce and can only be eaten during important festivals.
Li Yuan stroked his beard and said, "It's getting late, so I'm going back to rest."
Li Xiaogong and Li Tai also saw the situation and stood up. Zhang Yang sent everyone away, waiting for Li Tai, Li Xiaogong, and Li Yuan to go away.
Li Jing stopped for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll help you with the bearded guest's business."
Zhang Yang replied: "I will do my best next time."
There were many entanglements between the early Zhenguan Dynasty and the previous Sui Dynasty. These entanglements were like a haze, lingering in the minds of many people.
The house was quiet, and it was almost midnight when the meal was finished.
Xiao Qingqing came quickly, "Dad, Mom said there will be fireworks tonight."
Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, and you went to wait on the roof. Then you came to the west of Lishan Mountain alone, which is the direction of Chang'an City. When you get there, there will be fireworks.
Aunt Yang took her to the roof. From here, she could look to the west and see the fireworks.
Li Yue put her hands behind her back and looked up at the bright moon and sparse stars tonight. She looked at the position of the stars and the moon and whispered: "It's midnight."
Now she can tell the direction, altitude and time of day by looking at the stars.
He was a top student when he was a child, and now he is as good at using the star calendar as Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
The astrological calendar is actually not that mysterious. It is a very ancient mathematics.
With some knowledge from later generations taught to her, Li Yue mastered it faster. In the Tang Dynasty, which lacked knowledge, it might take ten years for ordinary people to learn the star calendar. Li Yue only used
for three years.
Zhang Yang carried the torch and came to the foothills to the west of Lishan Mountain. This was the place where King You of Zhou used to play beacon games on the princes.
There are many legends about the ancient Lishan Mountain. Now the beacon tower is no longer there, leaving only dead wood and loess.
Feeling that the night wind had weakened a lot, Zhang Yang put down a bamboo tube, lit the fuse, and watched the fuse burn into the bamboo tube. He only heard an explosion and a huge firework bloomed beautifully in the night sky.
At the same time, Niu Chuang and several villagers were still shivering in the cold wind.
"Brother Niu! Let Lishan go!"
Niu Chuang turned around and took a look to confirm, then picked up the torch and lit the fuse.
This is a way of sending a message. The first fireworks set off by Lishan means that the time has come.
Five miles outside Chang'an City, a hundred fireworks were placed here, and the flames also ignited the kerosene on the ground. The flames burned along the kerosene like a fire snake, igniting all the fuses.
At this moment, Li Shimin led the crowd and envoys from various countries in strange costumes and stood in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
And tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in front of the Tai Chi Hall, shouting in unison that the Tang Dynasty would be victorious.
Before the shouting stopped, there was an explosion in the distant night sky and huge fireworks bloomed in the night sky.
When Li Shimin saw this, he finally looked satisfied. Zhang Yang did what he said. His fireworks could bring more people's hearts together and make the military's morale more stable.
This is the grand scene that Tian Khan wanted, and this is the initial stage of the peak national power of the Tang Dynasty.
Fireworks lit up Chang'an City, and even though there was no curfew, Chang'an City was still bustling with people.
But the moment the fireworks exploded, the entire city of Chang'an fell silent, and everyone looked up at the strange phenomenon in the night sky.
The fireworks were very gorgeous, with hundreds of fireworks blooming at once. There were fireworks exploding in the south, east, and west of Chang'an City in all directions that people could see.
The magnificent scene is in everyone's eyes, as if the only thing left in people's eyes is the splendor of the night sky.
Li Shimin stood in front of the Tai Chi Hall and watched the fireworks with his ministers. The fireworks came suddenly and ended just as quickly.
When the gorgeous fireworks scene ended, the soldiers in front of the Tai Chi Hall shouted louder and louder that the Tang Dynasty would be victorious.
At this time, regardless of the civil and military forces in front of the hall, everyone's energy and spirit have improved to a new level, which is a kind of self-confidence that looks out from the heart.
Half an hour after midnight, the New Year's Eve banquet in Taiji Hall also ended.
Songtsen Gampo followed the crowd and walked out of Chengtian Gate step by step. It was already the second year that he had lived in Chang'an City. In the past, in Tubo, he only knew that the Tang Dynasty was powerful.
Now he is in Chang'an City, watching again and again how the Tang Dynasty grew, how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, and how the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was.
In the past two years, this was Songtsen Gampo's greatest harvest in Chang'an City.
When he walked out of the Zhuque Gate, he met the King of Goguryeo.
This King of Goguryeo has been demoted to a commoner and is said to be working as a street sweeper in Jingzhao Prefecture. He is dressed in shabby cloth and keeps saluting in the direction of Zhuque Gate.
The King of Goguryeo was a very pitiful person, but no one in the Tang Dynasty had pity for him. Everything in Goguryeo was his own fault. Goguryeo was destroyed by Yeongaesumun and the ceded territory of Goguryeo.
Only then did Zhang Daan successfully capture the capital of Goguryeo.
Yuan Gaisuwen saw the current Little Khan of the Western Turks again. At that time, the Western Turks were in civil strife, and the Siyehu Khan and Nishu fought fiercely.
