Tian Khan's appearance of kicking the shuttlecock is very strange. He always likes to make some postures with his hands. At first glance, it looks a bit like kicking the shuttlecock while performing the Yangko dance.
Tang people were good at dancing, and so were the men of the Tang Dynasty.
The way Tian Khan lets himself go is so unsightly that he can still smile so heartily.
Zhang Yang turned his head away from watching this scene.
Li Yue smiled and said, "Look how happy my father is."
"Oh, I am a sinner."
"Husband, why do you say this?"
"If there is a description of Tian Khan playing shuttlecock in the history books in the future, and there is such a yangko dance, I..."
Zhang Yang covered his face in pain, "Oh my God, I am a sinner."
Li Yue smiled and said: "How could it be?"
"Daughter-in-law, you must not underestimate how future generations will trace history. My sin is huge."
Li Yue covered her mouth and was still smiling.
Today, it started to rain again in Guanzhong. Today, Zhang Qingqing and her grandpa were practicing Lishan Tai Chi. She said: "Grandpa, you have been doing the wrong boxing for so many years."
"I'm not wrong. This is how I should fight. I am a martial artist, but you are still young and don't understand."
Zhang Qingqing was wearing a light red plain clothes, white cloth shoes, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. The ten-year-old child was the most lively.
Her little face was a little dry and a little red due to the autumn wind in Guanzhong. She explained while doing Tai Chi: "Grandpa, you should be like me, spread out loosely and vigorously, keep your feet steady, and use the strength of your waist and abdomen.
, instead of just swinging around like this."
Li Shimin said: "I think this is how it should be."
Zhang Qingqing said helplessly: "Whatever you think is what it is."
An old man and a young man were doing Tai Chi quietly under the thatched shed.
Fang Xuanling and Li Jing walked in the rain holding umbrellas. Even if His Majesty abdicates the throne now, they are willing to follow the Khan.
Li Jing, who had gray hair on his temples, coughed twice.
Fang Xuanling's beard and hair were all white. His words were old and he asked: "Aren't you going to look for the bearded guest?"
Li Jing explained: "I used to worry that Hong Fu would die in depression. Later, Zhang Yang wrote a story about the Three Heroes of Feng Chen, and she stopped pursuing it, and she no longer talked about looking for the Qiu bearded guest."
Fang Xuanling sighed: "How wonderful this Tang Dynasty is."
“Datang is very good.”
Li Jing stood with his hands behind his back, but there was not so much beauty in his eyes. From the 30th anniversary of the great cause, everyone has become old.
Since the Jiangdu Incident, too many things have gone wrong, and too many people have left. For example, Li Xiuning left. The pass she was stationed at was given the name Niangzi Pass. From now on, this Niangzi Pass will be remembered by others.
There was also Wen Yanbo who did not live to see the day when Liaodong was recaptured.
I thought Zhang Gongjin could live a few more years, but he still died young.
Even more jealous of talents, Du Ruhui passed away.
Zheng Gong was reviewing memorials until his death, and he was unwilling to step down no matter how much he was persuaded.
There are too many unsatisfactory things in this world, and Zhenguan's life was very rough.
Fang Xuanling placed his crutches by the wall, stroked his beard and said, "I'm glad that the scarred Tang Dynasty finally stood firm."
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling have both experienced too much, seen too many old friends leaving, seen the Eighteenth Route Army rebelling against the king sweeping through the Guanzhong land, and seen the wars with starvation and killing everywhere.
Li Jing's eyes were on Zhang Qingqing, "Their generation is different."
"Yeah." Fang Xuanling nodded while stroking his beard, "What a good boy."
"We have had enough of the hard and tiring days, and these children deserve to live a better life."
After retiring, Zhang Yang has a lot of time for himself, and it feels good to sleep until dawn.
Zhang Yang was washing by the Huaqing Pool, listening to her aunt's story. Before dawn, she followed her grandfather down the mountain to practice Tai Chi.
Tian Khan's later life became more and more colorful.
The daughter-in-law's voice came from inside the house, "Xinxin, the two aunts are old, and you have to clean up the room by yourself."
"My child knows."
Zhang Xin'an's words were full of grievance.
Li Yue held his ears and walked out of the room, pointed to her son's room and said: "Look at how messy your room is. Go take care of it yourself from now on. If you bother the two aunts to clean it up for you, I will beat you."
"
"It hurts, it hurts..."
Zhang Xin'an tilted her head and walked like a crab, "My child knows that he made a mistake, so go and clean it up."
Xiong Da walked lazily and lay down beside the chair. Zhang Yang reached out and patted its head, "You are only two years older than Qing Qing, why are you so old?"
Xiong's big black eyes looked ahead, and he sniffed and continued to be in a daze.
Zhang Yang picked up the chair, held a scroll in his hand, sat on the ground, leaned his head on the bear's back, and read while holding the scroll.
Xiong Da is already twelve years old, but his teeth have always been very good.
The average lifespan of a brown bear is twenty to thirty years. It stands to reason that a large bear has already passed half of its life as a bear.
It's very comfortable to lean on the bear's back, and the warm sunshine will make you doze off lazily after a long time.
Xiong Er came running with his fat body twisted, then turned around and left.
Only then did Zhang Yang remember that Xiong Er was not close to him, but closer to his son and daughter.
Li Yue hung the washed bedding and clothes to dry by the Huaqing Pool, then hurried into the study and took out a painting.
"How should I deal with this, husband?"
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Just hang on like this."
Li Yue added: "Since my husband has retired, there is no need to hang it up. I will put it away."
Zhang Yang nodded.
When she came out of the study again, she took out some papers to dry.
"County Marquis, Xu Xiaode is here."
Zhang Yang asked curiously: "What is he doing here?"
Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui were originally given a holiday so that their family could have a good reunion.
Aunt Yang led Xu Xiaode up the mountain, followed by Xiaohui. Zhang Yang and Li Yue quickly stood up, "Xu Yushi."
Xu Xiaode bowed and saluted, "Your Highness the Princess, Marquis of the County, I have been ordered by the Crown Prince to take a trip to the south of the Yangtze River."
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "Is it to check the fields?"
"Yes." Xu Xiaode nodded, "His Highness appointed your official as the censor of Jiangnan patrol, and publicly inspected the official conduct of various prefectures in Jiangnan. However, Your Highness asked your official to secretly investigate the land."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The prince's footsteps are anxious."
Li Chengqian's eagerness for success will bring huge trouble to the court.
People can't persuade others. The prince didn't even listen to the advice of so many courtiers.
Now that Li Chengqian is eager for success, he will suffer a loss.
If something unexpected happens, I hope the lessons can teach the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty how to be a mature emperor.
Seeing that Xu Xiaode was still saluting, Zhang Yang quickly helped him up and asked, "Is it safe to go here?"
"General Li Junxian will escort you."
Now Li Junxian is also a veteran in the court, and he is more prudent.
By asking Jiangnan so anxiously, perhaps Li Chengqian also knew about Li Zhi's debate with the nobles in Jiangnan.
As the royal brother, do you want to give your younger brother justice?
In both public and private matters, this debate gave Li Chengqian the opportunity to take action and deal a head-on blow to the gentry in Jiangnan.
Zhang Yang added: "If you need help from Lishan, we also have people in Jiangnan who can help you."
Xu Xiaode whispered: "I originally wanted to take my daughter back to Jiangnan for a visit, but Hui'er will be twenty this year. If she goes back to her old place in Jiangnan, there will be people from her clan arranging a marriage. She has been reluctant to go back."
After that, he looked at Xu Hui and said: "I am bold and want to entrust my daughter to the county prince and the princess."
He said this to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Li Yue held Xu Hui's hand and stood aside.
Xu Xiaode glanced at his daughter again, "Before I left, I only cared about Hui'er. I am going to Jiangnan and I don't know when I will come back."
Li Yue looked at Hui'er with gentle eyes, "Then let Hui'er stay and be a concubine for her husband. Now Lishan can't live without Hui'er, and Hui'er can't live without Lishan."
Xu Xiaode quickly saluted, "Thank you so much, Marquis of the County, and thank you, Your Highness the Princess, so that I can leave with peace of mind."
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "When does Xu Yushi plan to leave?"
Xu Xiaode replied: "I will go in the spring next year, so I will retire first."
Seeing her father walking down the mountain alone, Xu Hui covered her mouth and choked with sobs. She didn't know when her father would come back.
Li Yue hugged Xu Hui, stroked her bun and whispered: "Your father's mission is very important, and what he has to do is also very important. No matter how dangerous the situation in Jiangnan is, we at Lishan must let him come back safely."
Xu Hui held Li Yue in her arms, tears still streaming down her face.
After calming down, Xu Hui seemed a little restrained and her cheeks were always red. In fact, she had regarded Lishan as her home for a long time. With this status, she was still a little uncomfortable.
Li Yue combed her hair and whispered: "Lishan has already regarded you as a family member. If you didn't..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Hui nodded heavily.
Zhang Yang frowned and looked at it, thinking that this girl had a new identity, and the speed of her psychological construction was fast enough.
Li Yue added: "Your father is about to leave, and you are the daughter he cares about most. The queen mother often said that my father was always worried about me when he didn't see me in my wedding dress. We can't let your father have regrets in his heart.
Next year, Hui'er will wear a wedding dress and show it to your father."
Xu Hui stood up and saluted, "Thank you, teacher."
Li Yue smiled and frowned.
Xu Hui quickly saluted, "Thank you, Princess."
Li Yue smiled in astonishment and said: "You still call me teacher at home. After so many years, you can't change it."
Xu Hui finally smiled, this time her smile was much brighter.
Zhang Yang put down the tea bowl in his hand and said again: "Lishan is also your home now."
Xu Hui saluted and said, "Thank you, Master."
The room was quiet for a moment, and Xu Hui hurriedly changed her words: "Husband...husband."
Zhang Yang said melancholy: "We're not married yet."
Xu Hui's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and couldn't lift it up.
Not long after, Zhang Qingqing came back, bringing Aunt Xiaowu with her.
After hearing what her mother said about this matter, Zhang Qingqing didn't have much resistance. The children at home had long been accustomed to the two aunts, and there was no change for them.
In Xiaohui's room, Xiaowu heard this and said in surprise: "Seriously?"
Xu Hui nodded, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Her Royal Highness the Princess accepted me."
"Teacher is the mistress of Lishan. Master always listens to him when it comes to matters at home." Xiao Wu said sadly, "Master is a very powerful person."
"Sister, what do you mean by this?"
Xiao Wu looked out the window at the master who was repairing the toys and said: "Sometimes, I feel weak when facing the master. Even the current prince, His Highness the King of Wei, and even His Highness the King of Jin are not as strong as he is in his heart.
Strength often lies in self-confidence, no self-doubt, and the ability to make decisions when speaking and doing things.”
"For people with such a strong heart, there may be only Tian Khan in the world. My brother-in-law and Tian Khan will not be influenced by external affairs. Only people with strong hearts will have followers, such as Tian Khan and Master. There are many in the court.
One follows steadfastly.”
Xiao Wu continued: "If you want to be such a person, you need to have extraordinary decision-making ability, make promises worth a thousand dollars, and do what you say, with a bottom line and rules."
Xu Hui asked: "Does senior sister also want to be such a person?"
Xiao Wu shook his head and said: "I can't become such a person. Master and Tian Khan are already strong enough, and people in the future will follow them. The strong cannibalize each other."
"I also want to be a strong person, but from the inside, I am too weak. Even if I practice for decades, I still can't compete with my teacher and master."
After that, Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Hui and said, "Actually, I have discovered a long time ago that Junior Sister has second thoughts about Master."
Xu Hui covered her face, "Really? Was it so obvious before?"
Feeling that this was wrong, Xu Hui said angrily: "Senior sister is making fun of me again."
The two sisters laughed and scolded each other and had a fight in the room.
The day Li Chengqian ascended the throne was chosen on the day of Beginning of Winter, so people in Chang'an City are now waiting for this day.
Today, there was another fight in Tai Chi Hall.
Chu Suiliang grabbed Xu Jingzong's beard and said, "Why are you competing with me for a position in the cabinet!"
Xu Jingzong said: "Gao Jifu and Zhang Xiangxiang are also qualified to join the cabinet. Why should you, Chu Suiliang, occupy three of them?"
Li Yifu and Tang Shanshi also struggled with each other.
Li Chengqian looked at this scene and shook his head in distress, "Wenwen, what should we do?"
Cen Wenwen replied: "Originally, the county princes set the number of cabinet positions at seven, and His Highness wants to reduce it to five. Naturally, there will be more people quarreling."
Li Chengqian's eyes were gloomy, and he said disappointedly: "The enthronement ceremony hasn't even come yet, and everyone is starting to fight for meat."
After that, the prince reluctantly left the Tai Chi Hall.
Cen Wenwen saluted and said goodbye, and then his face darkened again when he saw the chaos in the court. The prince reduced the number of cabinet members to five in order to gain greater power and not to give power to too many people.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has matured and has plans for the city.
The fighting stopped at noon, and so far only Cen Wen has been selected as a cabinet candidate.
As for the remaining four positions, all the ministers in the court are also eagerly looking forward to them.
When Cen Wenwen walked out of the Taiji Hall, Ma Zhou, the supervisory censor, followed suit and said, "Xu Jingzong should also be a candidate for the newly appointed cabinet."
The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling grew old, and Zheng Gong passed away.
The court was reshuffled, and when it came to the candidates for the cabinet, Cen Wenwen felt that Ma Zhou should have a position, Xu Jingzong should also have one, and Chu Suiliang should also have one.
His Highness uses the cabinet to balance the court. The Lishan family can only be given one position, and the disciples of Zhao Guogong can only be given one position. The rest must be given to people with clean backgrounds.
