Yang Yuhuan's smile was like a spring breeze, which made Li Longji's tense heart slowly melt. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It doesn't matter whether the ginger soup is made by Yang Yuhuan himself, the important thing is that Yang Yuhuan has this heart, which is enough, enough to make him feel warm in his heart.

"Huh! The ginger soup made by the brute himself, I must drink it. ”

Li Longji took the warm ginger soup and drank it without hesitation, as if as long as it was sent by Yang Yuhuan, even if it was poison, he would drink it without hesitation.

"San Lang, do you feel warmer?"

Yang Yuhuan's gentle greeting.

"It's warmer, my heart is much warmer than just now."

Li Longji's old face was full of happy smiles, as if he had suddenly become dozens of years younger.

"San Lang, on this cold day, you still have to prepare for the Great Morning Meeting, you must take care of the dragon body!"

Yang Yuhuan tightened the cloak on Li Longji's back with great concern, and his face was full of concern.

Li Longji smiled lightly: "Barbarian, go back and wait for me, it's not too early, I'm going to Hanyuan Palace, let's go!" ”

"Let's go!"

With the high-pitched cry of a eunuch, Li Longji sat down and walked towards the Hanyuan Hall directly south of the Daming Palace.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, there was a Yuan Day Great Dynasty Meeting, in fact, since the Western Zhou Dynasty, there has been this ritual activity, the Qin and Han dynasties inherited this activity, and has continued to the Tang Dynasty, of course, in history until the Ming and Qing dynasties, has also adhered to this activity.

The New Year's Day court meeting is not just a meeting, and it is not just a familiar face between the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, but a very serious political activity

On this day, officials from all over the country will report to the central court that they are officials, and their achievements are equivalent to the GDP and fiscal revenue of each local government in later generations, so that the court can examine whether they are competent or incompetent, so as to provide a reference for the court to decide whether to be promoted or deposed.

Of course, many of the situations reported by these officials were mixed with a lot of water, and as for how much water was mixed in, only they knew in their own hearts, and it was impossible for the imperial court to investigate them one by one.

Some of the more important local officials even had to report directly to the emperor himself on the achievements made during his reign, and this report took place during the Great Dynasty Meeting, and many of the political programs of the imperial court would also be announced during the Great Dynasty Meeting, so that the officials could know in time.

In addition, on the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, the vassal countries and friendly countries will send envoys to pay homage to the Tang Emperor, and even, the monarch of a country in some countries will choose to go to Chang'an City in person to pay homage to the demeanor of the Tang Emperor.

On the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, outside the Hanyuan Palace, there was a momentum of all nations coming to the dynasty, which was extremely important for improving the political prestige of the Tang Empire, so this was an indispensable political activity.

Similar to last year, this year's court meeting was also extremely busy, with thousands of people waiting to be seen outside the Hanyuan Hall, and officials and envoys from various countries were all over the place.

After eating breakfast and admiring the snow scene, Li An also came to the outside of Hanyuan Hall, waiting for this annual event.

The pilgrimage meeting is a very important political event, but also a very cumbersome event, to participate in such an event, you need the highest standard of etiquette, even what kind of clothes to wear, there are strict requirements, can not mess around.

Wearing a red luxury robe on his body, Li Ang felt very awkward, but fortunately, all the ministers next to him were also wearing robes of the same color, which made Li An's heart much more balanced.

What comforted Ang Lee the most was that when he participated in such a political event, no one paid any attention to what he was wearing, and of course, it was impossible to laugh at the sissy he was wearing.

The foreign envoys are basically all sycophants, what the Tang Emperor likes to hear, he will say anything, provoke Li Longji's longyan Dayue, and almost without thinking about it, he will reward these envoys greatly, which seems to have the intention of showing off the national strength of the Tang Dynasty.

When the magistrates of various prefectures and counties reported their political achievements, almost all of them were filled with water to show their ability to govern, and Li Longji stayed in the palace all day long, so naturally he could not know the real situation, and this provided convenience for the magistrates to bully their superiors.

After a busy morning, Li Longji felt very tired, but he was in a good mood, the envoys of the surrounding countries were very respectful to the Tang Empire, and even, there were several kings of a country from vassal countries who came to Chang'an City in person, which made him very satisfied.

During the lunch break, Yu Chaoen hurriedly ran over, saw Li Longji closing his eyes and taking a nap, and swallowed the words back in his mouth.

"How's it going?"

Li Longji didn't fall asleep, he had already heard Yu Chaoen's footsteps, as a personal little eunuch who served him, Yu Chaoen's footsteps had long been familiar to Li Longji.

"Everyone, it's been found out."

Yu Chaoen responded and told Li Longji the results of his investigation one by one.

It turns out that Li Jing is the grandson of Li Chengqian, the abolished prince of Taizong, and the son of Li Xiang, the prince of Xunguo.

"It's him."

Li Longji was shocked, Yingzhou Don't Drive Li Jing was none other than his own cousin, Taizong Li Shimin was their common great-ancestor.

But how could Li Jing's 'confession' appear in Li An's home, do they have some kind of relationship, whether it is blood relatives or other relationships.

At this moment, Li Longji's curiosity is even greater, as early as when Li An put down the rebellion in the Eastern Women's Kingdom, Li Longji had already attached great importance to Li An, and ordered an investigation into Li An's life experience, but the result was only the son of a school captain, and the accidental destruction of White Wolf Village cast a veil on more of Li An's identity information, and more information could not be found out for a while.

This time, Li Jing's confession was actually found in Ang Lee's home, and Li Jing was Li Longji's cousin, which made Li Longji pay more attention to Ang Lee's identity.

According to the age calculation, if Li An is Li Jing's descendant, he must be his grandchild, but Li Jing, as a royal family, since he has descendants, why didn't he report to the clan, and he remembered that his cousin, more than fifty years ago, sacrificed his life for the country at a young age, how could he have descendants?

But if Li An is not Li Jing's descendant, then why is there Li Jing's farewell, if there is no special collection significance, how can Li Ang bring this 'farewell' with him?

"Everyone, this is all the information that the slave maid took from the Chongwen Pavilion, everyone has seen it."

Seeing Li Longji's frowning, Yu Chaoen handed over Li Jing's detailed information.

Li Longji flipped through the pages until he finally confirmed that Li Jing sacrificed his life for the country during the Sun Wanrong Rebellion more than 50 years ago, and was given the official body of the assassin of Qizhou, as well as the relevant matters of the burial.

"The clothed mound, it is actually the clothed mound, that is, the body has not been recovered?"

Li Longji still has some impressions of his cousin's sacrifice for the country, but Li Longji is not too clear about the fact that his cousin's grave is a well-dressed mound.

"Everyone, the slave maid has asked the bachelor of the Chongwen Pavilion, in the rebellion of Sun Wanrong that year, my Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and most of the corpses of the soldiers were not recovered, and the same is true of the Qizhou Thorn History, so I can only take the method of dressing up the mound to bury it."

Yu Chaoen explained.

'My cousin is a well-dressed mound, that is, the body was not found, maybe he did not die, but hid, but Sun Wanrong's rebellion was quickly quelled by my Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, after that, why did he refuse to come back? Or, this 'confession' was only picked up by Ang Lee or Ang Lee's predecessors, but who would be so bored and carefully collect the confession that he picked up.

Thinking carefully about the appearance of his second brother, and then thinking about Ang Lee's appearance, Li Longji felt that the appearance of the two did have some similarities, maybe Ang Lee is really Li Jing's grandchild, in this way, Ang Li is not a royal family, that is, his grandchild.

Thinking that such an outstanding talent could appear in the Li family's royal family, Li Longji naturally felt very happy in his heart, but at the same time, he unconsciously had a trace of caution and vigilance.

Talented people are always a double-edged sword, if they are used well, they can bring huge benefits to themselves, and if they are not used well, they will bring threats to themselves.

This involves a problem of control, as the king of a country, the most important ability is the ability to control, only a good control of the courtiers, in order to make a country stronger and stronger, otherwise, it means decay and rebellion.

How to control a courtier is a great test of a monarch's ability to govern, and it can also be said that the more authoritative and capable the monarch, the stronger the ability to control the courtier.

Li Longji is a monarch with strong self-confidence, he is confident that there is no one in the world that he can't control, so as long as it is a talent, he dares to reuse it, and as long as this person is obedient, he will always be favored.

Li Yi, the grandson of Li Ke, the third son of Taizong, King Wu of Wu, is also a very talented member of the royal family, but Li Longji did not suspect him because he was a royal family, but reused Li Yi, so that Li Yi played his strengths, especially in military attainments are very good, the battle of Baishan broke the alliance of the Xi and Khitan tribes, captured the enemy chieftains, and won a great victory.

Even if Li An's identity is a royal family, Li Longji will not weaken the degree of reuse of it, of course, Li Longji's trust and reuse has a premise, and this premise is that this person must be completely under his control, if he can't fully grasp it, or if he doesn't do things according to his wishes, he can't tolerate it, especially if it poses a threat to his throne, he has zero tolerance.

'Li An, this kid, is very likely to be my Tang Dynasty royal family, what should I do? ’

Li Longji hesitated in his heart.

After taking a break, Li Longji continued to meet with the envoys of various countries, and he was busy talking, and in the evening, the court meeting officially ended.

"Spread my will, let Zuo Xiang and Li An come to Zichen Palace."

Li Longji ordered, and looked at Yu Chaoen: "Go and bring Li Jing's portrait." ”

"Yes, everybody."

At this moment, Li Longji has made up his mind to determine Li Longji's identity as soon as possible, after all, there is no need for this kind of thing to hide, even if Li Anji's identity is a royal family, it does not pose any threat to Li Longji's throne.

"Prime Minister Zuo, Your Majesty suddenly summoned the two of us, I don't know what will happen?"

Li An and Li Shizhi walked side by side, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Li Shizhi shook his head lightly and said, "This official doesn't know very well, but His Majesty is in a very good mood today, it shouldn't be a bad thing, let's go!" ”

"That's good, that's good."

Li An walked towards the Zichen Hall with a little apprehension.

The dynasty will work so hard, Li Longji can't rest well, what is he doing when he suddenly summons him, what is there something important, can he say no in a few days?

"Your Majesty."

Li An and Li Shiyi walked together and saluted.

Li Longji was looking at Li Jing's portrait, and when he saw the two of them coming, he said softly: "Give me a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li An looked Li An up and down, and said softly: "I called you here today, it's not a big deal, just to talk about family life, you don't have to be nervous." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Longji looked at Li An and asked, "Li An, I know that you were born in White Wolf Village, but White Wolf Village was wiped out by the Hu people overnight, so I don't know much about you, so I want to hear your story when you were a child." ”

Li An was surprised when he heard this, Li Longji was fine, why did he suddenly think of listening to the story of his childhood, and Li Shizhi next to him was even more confused, Li Longji wanted to listen to the story of Li Ang when he was a child, what did he do with him, did he also want to listen to the story when he was a child?

However, since His Majesty the Emperor wanted to hear it, Li An couldn't refuse, so he kept searching the memory of the deity and told everything he knew, including the thing about fishing in the ditch with his bare ass when he was a child.

Li Longji seemed to listen with relish, smiled from time to time, and asked Li An to continue, which made Li Shizhi on the side more and more confused.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly have Yaxing and listen to the story of Weichen when he was a child?"

Ang Lee couldn't help it, and after saying a lot of interesting things, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Li Longji smiled and said lightly: "Ang Li, you are a rare talent in my Tang Dynasty, and you are also my courtier, of course I have to find out your background, so that I can better understand you!" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen's background is a bit humble, but Weichen is definitely loyal to Your Majesty and Datang."

Ang Lee expressed his loyalty in a timely manner.

"From a humble background, I'm afraid that it may not be, you just said, your Ah Weng is not like an ordinary village, but quite a literati, but I am afraid that he is really not an ordinary person."

Li Longji said thoughtfully.

Li An was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that his Ah Weng had a confession, writing about the position of Yingzhou Don't Drive, and Li Longji mentioned this matter at this time, could it be that the black shadow last night was Li Longji's person, and Li Longji learned about this situation and was verifying it at this time?
