Chapter 174: Black Charcoal Head

The aristocratic class of the Tang Dynasty is divided by titles, the prince and the marquis, Yan Li is a foreign minister, the prince has no part in him, and since the emperor ascended the throne, many titles that have no actual merits in the dynasty have been cut off.

In the past two years, except for the emperor's old team, someone has been promoted to the title, and there has been no new one.

The magic of cement, if it was placed in the early years of Wude, maybe it could be changed to a marquis or something, but now, it would be great to change to a baron. The mouth of the knight is so strict, it is difficult to pry it. For example, Yan Liben himself, it was in the first year of the General Chapter, that is, forty years later, that he was mixed into the position of the right prime minister of the school and the male of Boling County.

Li Guang is difficult to seal, and his fate is unfortunate, but it also proves the rarity of the title from the side.

Yan Liben is very confident in cement, if such a magical thing is presented in the court, the first ones who are crazy are those generals.

It's so sturdy!

Think about testing the formula until the cement made after testing the best formula ratio, the degree of solidity, glutinous rice and water or something bonded city wall, is not comparable at all. In the past, the city walls of Songzhou and other places had a precedent of collapsing in the war. But if the cement city wall is replaced, Yan Liben feels that even if all the Tubo people run down the plateau, it will be impossible to collapse the city wall in a short period of time.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have had the habit of building high walls and enclosing themselves. This habit developed into a mechanism, and it became the majestic project of the Great Wall.

It is unlikely that Datang wants to build the Great Wall. Although surrounded by enemies, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty also sharpened their knives. Building the Great Wall like Qin Shi Huang would have suppressed the ambitions of the Tang people.

Reaching out and touching the cement dust on his body, Yan Liben tried several times, but couldn't get down.

Don't bully honest people anymore.

Li Chengqian walked up to Yan Li himself, didn't care about the dust on his body, beat him on the chest and said, "Don't be so embarrassed. Don't forget that the recipe is still something you perfected. If you really feel lonely, when the promotion banquet comes, remember to hold it more luxuriously. โ€

Yan Liben nodded with difficulty, although the title had always been a fantasy in his dreams, but when it was really within reach, he felt that it was not so easy.

I didn't know how cement was produced in the workshop, and I just wanted to go in to have a look, but I was stopped by Yan Liben.

Looking at the gorgeous clothes on his body again, Li Chengqian sighed and gave up the idea of exploring. It's convenient to wear it, but more often than not, it's inconvenient.

Surrounded by guards, Li Chengqian, who rarely learned archery, was ready to shoot one or two wild meats.

In the Tang Dynasty, even the surroundings of Chang'an were not all towns, and some places were still deep dense forests. The traces left by people on this land are probably only sheep intestine paths.

It was very unlucky, obviously I met a group of pheasants, and I also met one or two rabbits, but before I could put the arrow on the string, they ran away.

Even if it was shot, Li Chengqian himself couldn't be sure where the arrow went. Because, there is simply no time to aim.

I used to see Li Jing and others shoot arrows at the head of the prey, and even in the eyes, it looked leisurely, and I felt that this thing was not difficult, but when it came to me, tsk, what bullshit!

After thinking about it, he still didn't throw the bow to the ground. Before gunpowder appeared, the bow and arrow were already the most advanced long-range weapons in the world.

Fang Shuo, the captain of the archery team, who was in charge of leading the guard today, saw that the prince was very irritable, so he kept throwing stones at the grass on the side of the road.

After a while, a pheasant was startled.

Almost instantly, the bastard was able to complete the whole process of drawing his bow and aiming and shooting arrows.

Before the poor pheasant could fly, he fell to the ground.

Seeing Fang Shuo holding a pheasant, Li Chengqian was uncomfortable for a long time before he didn't get an arrow in his face.

A typical soldier's thinking, he only feels that his master has been humiliated, and he has to repay it. As everyone knows, from the perspective of a person with a few tendons in his head, this kind of behavior has a very interesting name - "slapping in the face".

"Okay, leave its tail hair, I want to make a fan for Master Li, and if you don't want to eat the meat, throw it away."

Looking at the fat pheasant in his hand, Fang Shuo's throat slid a few times before he said, "Your Highness, why don't we take it back?" Your Majesty has brought you a dog, which has been stewed and fed to the dog. โ€

"Got me a dog?"

Li Chengqian stumbled under his feet and almost poked the end of the bow into his mouth.

Sending a dog? The emperor sent a dog to the crown prince? What's going on? No, what's going on?

"The little one also listened to the guard on duty in the East Palace, although it is a small puppy, but I heard that it is a pure black hound that His Majesty searched for you in the pass."

Fang Shuo didn't say it's okay, but when he said Li Chengqian, he was even more confused.

Li Shimin will not be so idle, no matter what he does, I am afraid he will have deep meaning. Just, a dog?

The other person doesn't want to talk to you and throws a dog at you?

Bah! If that's what it means, Lao Tzu has to ask him if he's a post-90s or a post-00s.

Don't think about things that can't be figured out, let Fang Shuo leave the pheasant, and Li Chengqian is ready to go back to see what his dog is like.

There is no shortage of cats and dogs in the palace.

People trapped in the palace walls need a little entertainment, and raising pets, a pastime suitable for all ages, is naturally the mainstream. Some concubines in the harem, as well as princesses and the like, basically have their own pets.

Needless to say, the ancient bloodline of the Pekingese dog is needless to say, and what surprised Li Chengqian the most was that even the Persian cat had it.

No matter how the harem raises the craze for raising pets, Li Chengqian doesn't think that this wind will blow to the East Palace.

A generation of emperor Li Shimin, a generation of virtuous queens and the eldest grandson, is obviously a loyal supporter of the idea of "poor sons and rich daughters". If it weren't for the conversation by Weishui the year before last, I'm afraid I would still be eating bran vegetables.

What's more, dogs, there are in the harem, how can you search the customs to find one? This is too different from Li Shimin's personal image!

When he returned to Chang'an with heavy thoughts, it was already night, and in his bedroom, Li Chengqian really saw a small black dog.

Don't look at the thin dog, it is the purest hunting dog, and it is still a hunting dog that has been handed down from the land of China.

The eunuch who came in with the dog was very careful, and there was a tendency for the dog to be ruthless when it moved.

Unable to see that these people were overprotective of him, Li Chengqian kicked him out.

The dog's body does not have any variegation and is pure black. The little guy had just been weaned for a long time, and he didn't recognize his life, and when he saw Li Chengqian, he began to wag his tail and shake his feet.

The dog is very good-looking, but Li Chengqian still can't help but look at this little guy with suspicion.

I don't know how many emperors' conspiracies are entangled in this little guy's slender body?

I couldn't help but reach out and touch the dog's head, feeling the feeling of my little tongue licking around in my palm. It is said that he has long hoped that he can get a dog, but then he is a multi-person shared house, and he is embarrassed to disturb others with a dog, so he has always wanted to wait until he has his own house, and then put his childhood ideas into practice.

Who would have thought that the house was not obtained, but the dog was raised first.

Clapping his hands, Fang Sheng pushed open the door and appeared.

"Find some linen or something to build a kennel, it's in the lonely bedroom, if this bastard pulls it, remember to clean up the shit."

When you are a prince, you can rightfully throw the accusation of shoveling to others.

Fang Sheng was very puzzled, this was originally his job, although he was confused, he still took the order and left.

Carrying the dog to his bed, Li Chengqian was full of emotion.

"Boy, you said that your life is good, and the emperor will be impeached by the officials, and only with the lonely can you directly eat and drink spicy food. Lonely is the prince, aren't you the boss of the dogs? It is said that dogs fight people, and we don't mind being beaten by you. โ€

"Why do you have to have a name, Wangcai? Forget it, it's still a pastoral dog or a Shiba Inu suitable for this name, look at your black, it's still called Bao Kuroko. โ€

"Day, don't kick me, if you don't call it this, then call it black charcoal!"

I didn't pedal this time.

After determining the name of the dog, Li Chengqian put it on the ground with satisfaction.

Although small, I have learned to talk to people. Li Chengqian walked to Li Gang's bedroom step by step, and the black charcoal head followed step by step.

It's strange, the old gentleman was asleep at this time in the past, why is the lamp still lit today?

The old gentleman didn't like to light the lamp, because he felt that it was a waste, as long as he lit the lamp and didn't sleep, then there must be something important.

Knock on the door, get a response, and go in.

Seeing the old gentleman sitting at the desk, Li Chengqian asked curiously, "Master Li, why don't you sleep so late today?" โ€

Li Gang didn't answer, but glanced at the puppy who followed the prince into the door.

The pity in his eyes flashed, and he cleared his throat and said: "Xiao Yu sent an invitation to the old man, saying that the disaster caused by the locust plague has stabilized, and even if it goes on like this, even if the winter continues, no people will freeze and starve to death." This is a good thing, so the civil officials are ready to celebrate in the Cheng family's restaurant. I wrote a post to the old man, saying that he was going to go no matter what, and almost all the courtiers and folk elders could see it. โ€

Thinking of the bad past between the old gentleman and his uncle, Li Chengqian said without thinking: "Since you have to go, why don't you bring your disciple with you, if you have a disciple here, how can you block the invitation to drink." Our master and apprentice will eat, don't drink, don't get involved in political affairs, wipe our mouths and leave. โ€

Seeing the playfulness of what the disciple said, Li Gang also smiled.

Sending the invitation card to the disciple, Li Gang smiled and said, "Then our master and apprentice will go together." โ€

After saying that, he stood up and staggered to the bed step by step.

Obviously, it was very difficult to walk, but Li Chengqian had no intention of going up to help.

Although the old gentleman is not good at walking, if he really wants to go up to help, he will be reprimanded.

According to his old man's words, when he really reached the point where he couldn't control his body, when was the real limit.

When the old gentleman lay down in his wide clothes, Li Chengqian was relieved, helped put out the lights, and turned to leave.

The black dog in the dark night is as motherly as stealth.

It wasn't until he entered the room that Li Chengqian realized that the dog was lost.

So, the palace maid and eunuch in the East Palace immediately began to pick up the lights to find the dog....

Early the next morning, after the fixed morning exercise, Li Chengqian instructed the guards to bring the prince's guard of honor and go out with the old gentleman to the appointment.

Although the post stated that the banquet was held at noon, today happened to be the official's rest day, and arriving early was a kind of respect for the host's family.

Although with the prestige of the old gentleman, even if he releases pigeons, others will not raise a trace of anger, but the face work still has to be done.

The face work was done to the extreme, which led to the entrance on the first floor and the railing on the second floor of the Chengjia Restaurant crowded with officials, welcoming the prince together.... guard of honor.

Only then did Li Chengqian know that the honor guard was not used at all on weekdays, and would only be used on some important occasions and important events. The use of the guard of honor on this ordinary gathering day is in the same sense as handing out New Year's money on Children's Day.

In the past, I thought that the honor guard was sent to give the other side a face, but now it seems that the fear given to these officials seems to have suppressed all the face.

Covering his face with his sleeves, Li Chengqian ran to the innermost room on the first floor.

It's faceless.

Yu Tai resumed the work of the guards today, if it was those captains, they would only follow inch by inch, but as soon as Yu Tai appeared, Xiao Er at the door of Cheng's restaurant was replaced by a "security officer".

On the occasion of the prince's appearance, no matter how he was treated, no one complained. Even Fang Xuanling could have gone in directly, but he strongly asked to be handed over and down.

It doesn't hurt anyone to follow the rules.

The back of the shopkeeper of the drunken wind building has never been done, and he originally thought that it was a blessing that the officials of the court and the central government gathered here, but who would have thought that the prince would also come. ๆ‰‹ๆœบ็ซฏ ไธ€็ง’่จ˜ไฝโ†’.\B\\\\.\\็‚บไฝ ๆไพ›็ฒพๅฝฉ\novel่ชช่–ฑ่ฎ€ใ€‚

For the first time, the cooks of the Drunken Wind Building experienced what it was like to be stared at and cooked.

Originally, the second floor was a noble place, but the appearance of Li Gang and Li Chengqian turned it up and down.

Wheelchairs are not yet able to go up to the second floor through narrow staircases.

In the innermost private room, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and other leading bigwigs gathered together.

After handing over the tea leaves he was carrying to Xiao Er and asking him to change the tea, everyone started the teapot party.

"This locust plague is really dangerous! The surrounding enemy countries, once they hear the news, will definitely attack with their troops. โ€

Although the eldest grandson Wuji served in the civilian ranks, he was also very curious about the news of the military, so he naturally knew about the Eastern Turks.

Wei Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Fortunately, Jieli and Tuli fell out, and the blockade of the news at the border has also been absolute." The worries of external enemies are still there, and there are internal disputes, and no matter what his status is in the end, just because he is not worried about the national disaster, but he has caused trouble, the old man looks down on him. โ€

This time, the five surnames made a big fuss in the court, and the wealthy families of the Pei family in Hedong were also willing to help, and even contacted Wei Zheng through Mrs. Wei. As a result, the Pei clan who came to persuade was knocked out by Wei Zheng Yiyu Ruyi. Jade Ruyi was originally an important gift from the emperor to the minister, and if it was destroyed, it would be a big crime. When the emperor heard the news, not only did he not blame, but rewarded Wei Zheng with two jade ruyi.

"At this juncture, we have to give in to them anyway. But the old man didn't expect that the thousand-year-old wealthy family would be refuted by His Royal Highness in a few words. When he was above the court. The old minister, I can't help but sweat for His Royal Highness! โ€

After speaking, he also bowed his hand to Li Chengqian.

Du Ruhui's body is getting stronger and stronger now, and for the very famous one among the famous ministers of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian naturally can't treat it casually.

After returning the salute, Li Chengqian said embarrassedly: "In fact, the most direct and the worst method in this world is to use the other party's words to squeeze the other party." The "Hong Fan" that they took out of context contradicts the words of the sage, and it was originally forcibly related. If they continue to stubbornly talk, they may be able to refute Lone's words, but ah, at that time, I am afraid that the sage chapters in their minds have been replaced by the 'confusion' of the big ones. โ€

When he spoke, Li Chengqian also made a gesture, which made the bigwigs laugh heartily.

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and said earnestly: "After experiencing the apocalyptic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the old man's wish is nothing more than to make the world stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, who cares what dynasty." Now that the disasters that swept through the customs have been resisted by us, what difficulties are there that we can't overcome? Zhenguan is prosperous, and it can be expected! โ€

With Xiao Yu's identity, he would not be able to say it so clearly and clearly, it can be seen that he has great confidence in Zhenguan, so that the last sentence was categorical!

"Prosperity, prosperity, how can it be so easy to achieve. I don't think I'm stupid, but I still have to work hard. As important ministers of the imperial court, you should also guard against arrogance and rashness, settle down to do things, and do not mix too much family interests, so that you can have a chance. โ€

Who, the word hard work, can anyone put on themselves?

As soon as Li Chengqian turned around, he shrank back like lightning.

That face is very familiar, and after getting along for so long, I will never admit it wrong.

However, after changing clothes, why is people's temperament so much worse?

Hell, a room full of people stood up, and the others didn't mean to get up to greet him.

I pulled a stool and sat down, and poured myself a cup of tea.

After taking a sip, Li Shimin continued: "Don't think what I say is not good, everyone has their own family that needs to be strengthened. I will not forget that it was you who pushed me into this position, so there will be no less preferential treatment for you. โ€

The emperor's white dragon fish suit naturally wants to hide his identity. And what he said in this state, yes, then, he thought that he was saying something from the bottom of his heart, rather than a decision made after weighing the pros and cons.

The emperor did not reveal his identity, so even if there were two people with horizontal knives on their waists and hips standing at the door of the private room, no one was curious. Outside, the officials were still chatting with each other. or meaningless chatter, or engagement for each other's families, or discussing the exchange of interests.

It is rare for the members of the court to gather together in such a large group, and if it were not for the excuse of celebrating the past disaster and obtaining the emperor's consent, once there are more people gathered, it is enough to be charged with "rebellion".

"Li Erlang is right, since we are officials, we can't mix too much selfish interests. Once everyone's selfishness is overflowing, it will be a disaster for the court and even the world! โ€

After the emperor spoke, Wei Zheng was the only one who dared to speak like this.
