In the courtyard, after the old gentleman drank the bowl of sweet mash soup, he got up and waved his sleeves, ready to leave.

"Is the old gentleman really not going to accept apprentices?"

"I don't have any plans to do that now." Mr. Su shook his head and left a sentence before going out, "The sweet soup is delicious!"

Li Congjia smiled, didn't say anything more, and slowly closed his eyes again.

Today is still the same, Li Congjia is sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun, basking in the sun, basking in the sun......

It seems that he is always so bored, everyone around him is doing things, only he is very bored, and he can only bask in the sun.

When Jin Qiming, who was thrown into the river, reached the time when the sun was high, Xiong Da let him go, he climbed ashore wet, and after saying a few bad words, he immediately fled from Wutong Street, looking very embarrassed.

…………

In the palace, Li Jingsui was still there, and when the small court meeting, he and Li Jing were a little absent-minded, after all, the new Song Dynasty military newspaper was what they were worried about, and when the court meeting, the old emperor kept his mouth shut, and Li Jingsui knew that Li Jing was worried, worried about causing panic, worried that something was wrong.

After the small dynasty was dispersed, Li Jing stopped Li Jingsui alone, and all the courtiers were not surprised, Li Jingsui, the king of Yan, was deeply favored and was the emperor's brother.

The old emperor went to call the three princes today, Li Congke, who was named the king of Qi, saw the prince's mediocrity in the Taiji Hall in the morning, and the emperor had to pin his hopes on the king of Qi.

Entering the hall, Li Congke, the king of Qi, knelt down to ask for peace, and the old emperor brushed his hands casually, telling Li Congke to be more casual and not to be too restrained, after all, everyone present was his own family.

"I don't know what happened, my father called his sons to come?"

"How do you know something is wrong?"

"Above the court meeting, I only see that my father is a little absent-minded, and so is my uncle, so it is naturally not difficult to guess!" Li Congke sat down, in fact, he was a smart person, Li Jing naturally knew, but it was because he was too smart, and his mother was the current queen, extremely prominent, so Li Jing had to deliberately alienate himself so as not to mess up the heart of the East Palace.

"I won't go around the bush, King Qi is a smart man, now that he is in danger, there is no need to have other thoughts, if this matter is done, the seat is naturally yours, you don't have to grab it, I will talk about it well...... The New Song Dynasty entered Shu Road from Jingzhou, and it was surging, and Hou Shu couldn't support it for long, King Qi looked, what should I do in the Southern Tang Dynasty to deal with the crisis?" Li Jing coughed a few times, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said.

Li Congke naturally understood the meaning of the old emperor's words, and he didn't make a noise, smacked his somewhat dry lips, got up and responded, "Strike first to be strong, strengthen my strength in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and attack the New Song Dynasty!"

"Oh? Do you think we should be the first to strike? Li Jingsui raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Does Uncle Huang think so too?" Li Congke tilted his head and asked, he didn't think about his own thoughts, and he coincided with the emperor's uncle Li Jingsui.

"Tell me your own opinion first, and if it is feasible, do as you do!" Li Jingsui spread his hands and asked Li Congke to talk about his thoughts.

"Father, uncle, these years from Ke in the capital of the idle endowment, nothing to do, then carefully studied the new Song Dynasty, sons found that the new Song Dynasty has been expanding its own forces in recent years, hoarding in the north bank of the river several important strongholds, this time to send troops to Houshu, in fact, is acting to show us, the destruction of Houshu is a foregone conclusion, as long as the news is transmitted back to Jinling, it will cause riots in the city, and then spread throughout the Southern Tang Dynasty, then my Southern Tang will be self-defeating."

"What you said, I understand that I have sent someone to completely block the news, and the news of the new Song Dynasty entering Shu will not spread for a while, but this situation will not last long." Li Jing sighed, this is also what he is most worried about, he is not afraid of a frontal battle between the two armies, he is afraid that his family will be in chaos because of rumors.

"Erchen thinks that the complete blockade of the news is not enough, and all the personnel in Jinling City should be thoroughly investigated to prevent the new Song Dynasty from making a detailed work."

"Anything else?"

"That's all I can think of for the time being."

"When you say strike first, do you mean finding out the fine work hidden in Jinling City?" The old emperor asked again.

"Yes!"

The hanging breath slowly exhaled, and the old emperor glanced at Li Congke, and then at Li Jingsui, and similarly, he saw a little loss on Li Jingsui's face.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, but it must be done in secret so that no one will find out!" Li Jing still gave the final order, after all, King Qi performed much better than the crown prince in this regard.

"Oh, Erchen will do it!"

"Well, stand down!" The old emperor waved his hand.

Li Congke, the king of Qi, stood up, and after completing the number of salutes, he slowly retreated.

After Li Congke left, the hall was silent for a while before other sounds came out.

"After all, he is still a child, and his vision is not so far-sighted, but he has a merit in doing this carefully!" Li Jingsui opened his mouth, touched his forehead, and said casually.

"Jing Sui! I don't worry about who to do this matter, I still have to do it, it's best for me, King Qi has a heart, and I will hand it over to him if I do it, but the matter of Min and Wu Yue should be done as soon as possible, so as not to catch fire in the backyard. The old emperor slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the red palace wall in the distance, and commanded.

"Brother Confide,"

"It's just that this candidate, how can An Guogong be transferred to Beijing without being discovered, we still have to discuss it carefully? Don't startle the snake!"

"This brother has thought about it, we can ......"

…………

On the 19th, the middle of the day.

Zhang Xiaoshan was in her yard, eating lunch, which she cooked by herself, and it didn't look so delicious, a bowl of white rice, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of tofu, and a bowl of hot soup.

After a good night's sleep in the morning, she finally stopped hearing the sound of the head-hurting wall, and after reading the books she borrowed from the old gentleman in the morning, she found that she was not the material to read these difficult and difficult books after all, and only what kind of poetry and popular words, she could read with interest, and never tired of it.

This "Book of Yu" is really incomprehensible, it seems to be a record of some of the exploits of the ancient Yao Shun, the tribal system and other things, but it is not the same as reading it, it is really annoying.

She decided that she would never read this kind of book again, a woman, it is better to write poems and read popular books, why embarrass herself!

After lunch, Zhang Xiaoshan took the borrowed "Book of Yu" and returned it, after all, it was not his own, he returned it earlier, and he ended up relaxed.

It's still the same yard, the yard is full of books, and the old gentleman is lying on the Taishi chair, basking in the sun, and drinking tea from time to time with the spout, looking very leisurely.

"Sir, I'm here to return the book!"

"Well, okay, put it there!" Mr. Su raised his eyes, looked at the girl who had just borrowed the book yesterday, and said that he would return it in two days, why did he come to return the book today, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you return it today?"

"Oh, this "Book of Yu", forgive me for being shallow and not knowing its meaning, so I will return it!" After Zhang Xiaoshan put down the "Book of Yu", he responded.

"Oh? What about that? It's not that you're shallow, it's probably that this book is too weird, and even I can't figure it out, after all, it's too vague to care too much. Mr. Su sat up slightly straight, and said two more words, "There are many books in this courtyard, if you want to read them, you can borrow a few more and return them on time!"

"Got a novel? Poetry or anything like that? ”

"Yes, none of the novels are popular in Jinling, they were brought back in Chang'an more than 20 years ago, and there are poems, most of which are fragments!"

"The old gentleman has been to Chang'an?" As soon as Chang'an was mentioned, Zhang Xiaoshan became interested, the person she wanted to inquire about was also in Chang'an, maybe she knew?

"Nature." The old gentleman brushed his beard, more than 20 years ago in Chang'an was the most glorious moment of his life, he will never forget until he dies, the days in Chang'an are also his most proud days.

"Does the old gentleman recognize Li Yu?"

"I recognize a few, but it's probably not Li Yu in your mouth, they can't write those words!"

Zhang Xiaoshan was disappointed again, over the years, he had asked many people who had been to Chang'an, but no one could answer her, who was Li Yu? What does it look like to be born? What kind of character? What do you like? What is disgusted?

"Li Yu! I know that he is a drunkard who is greedy for beauty, a little shameless, and grows up in the compound!" When the voice came, Li Shuangshuang came again.

Zhang Xiaoshan listened to it and smiled, indeed, according to the words he wrote, it is quite in line with these characteristics.

"Why are you here again?" Old Mr. Su stood up and asked.

"I'm here to bring you something good, I, Li Shuangshuang, am not a person who likes to take advantage, this is the braised pork I made myself, give it to you to taste!"

Look, Li Shuangshuang was holding a jar in his arms, and there was hot air wafting out of it, as well as the smell of medicinal herbs, and it turned out to be the "braised pork" in her mouth.

"What is braised pork?"

"Of course it's eaten!" Li Shuangshuang hugged the jar, came to him, took chopsticks, and took out a piece of "braised pork".

The old gentleman looked at this "meat", fat and thin, with a smell of medicinal herbs, and shook his head again and again, "Eat with medicinal herbs, how did you come up with this brain melon seed?"

Li Shuangshuang rolled his eyes, "It's a shame that you are still so old, you don't have any knowledge at all, the medicinal herbs are eaten, and the fishy and refreshing taste is much better than ordinary seasonings, I don't believe you can taste it!"

"No, the old man has eaten!"

"Taste it! How did I make it?"

"Old decay is not hungry!"

"I used dozens of medicinal herbs, which are very tonic and delicious?"

"I really don't need to!"

"In the future, it will be the capital of my store, can you try it and give a fair evaluation?"

"No, no, no!"

…………

The excuse was vividly displayed between the two, and Li Shuangshuang almost stuffed the "braised pork" into Mr. Su's mouth.

"I'll try it!" Zhang Xiaoshan in the courtyard said.

Li Shuangshuang and Mr. Su looked at each other, but they never thought that anyone would be willing to eat "braised pork" with medicinal herbs.

Zhang Xiaoshan was very careful, and clamped it with chopsticks, this meat looks softer than ordinary meat, Zhang Xiaoshan ate a little vegetarian at noon, and looked at this meat, it smelled very sweet.

chewed in his mouth, Zhang Xiaoshan put down his chopsticks, squinted his eyes, and was tasting carefully, with a bang, "braised pork" went down, Zhang Xiaoshan even licked his lips, and said, "Fat and thin, just right, sweet and sweet, just right, in general, very good!"

"Really knowledgeable!" Li Shuangshuang smiled happily, a person who likes to cook, hearing someone praise her food for being delicious, she is naturally very satisfied.

"Let's go, try the other dishes I made!" Li Shuangshuang put down the jar in his arms, pulled Zhang Xiaoshan and walked towards his yard.

Mr. Su didn't have time to speak, and the two left, leaving only Li Shuangshuang with a jar of "braised pork"

"It smells good!" Mr. Su sighed, so that no one knew whether he ate or not.
