The dissolution of hundreds of officials does not mean that everyone can go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

Because after the end of the court meeting, there is usually a "military parade" in the afternoon, and His Majesty the Great Emperor wants to inspect the mighty army of the Tang Dynasty. It's just that this military parade is not fixed, and it was canceled because the emperor may be in a bad mood this year, which saves everyone a lot of things.

And in the evening, it is natural to feast the ministers as usual, and everyone rubs it together.

For the big banquet in the evening, Li Yuanjia really didn't look forward to it.

It's okay if you just eat some ordinary meals at the banquet, and it's even better if you have stir-fried dishes, but this is a banquet on the first day, and the main thing is to eat something with a strong sense of ceremony, and Li Yuanjia really doesn't want to touch these things, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.

For example, the five-spice plate composed of green onions, garlic, leeks, artemisia and mustard, for example, the mixture of cypress kernels, hemp seeds, fine spices, dried ginger, aconite, etc., and the peach soup boiled with peach wood branches to ward off ghosts and evil spirits, etc., after Li Yuanjia tasted these things, he no longer had any love for the so-called formal banquet.

It's a pity that he doesn't like it anymore, as a prince and Yongzhou pastor, he still has to go to the banquet.

So after returning home and resting for a while, Li Yuanjia rushed to the palace again, and then was led to his place like a morning court.

The location of Yongzhou Mu is still quite good.

Li Yuanjia came early, and the people at the two tables around him hadn't come yet, so after looking left and right, his eyes immediately lit up, and he walked straight to a position not far away.

Seeing him coming, Wei Zheng hurriedly got up and reminded his colleagues beside him: "Fang Xianggong, King Han is here." ”

"Oh?"

Fang Xuanling looked up and quickly stood up.

Although this is his future son-in-law, after all, his daughter has not married Li Yuanjia yet...... Of course, even if they become relatives, the identity and status of the family are there, and there should still be a number of courtesies.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Li Yuanjia couldn't wait to ask: "Yuanjia has something I want to ask the minister, I don't know if it's convenient now?" ”

"Hehe, the king, but it's okay to talk about it."

Nodding, Fang Xuanling replied with a smile.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuanjia asked in a low voice, "Xianggong, if I want something that Gao Changguo pays tribute today, what should I do?" ”

"What? A tribute from the state of Gaochang? ”

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Fang Xuanling's eyes suddenly widened.

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed next to him, and he was quite curious about the question asked by Li Yuanjia: Speaking of which, this King of Han has been in the court for several months, but he has always been low-key in the court, which is surprising, and if he greets him very respectfully when he goes to the court every day, Wei Zheng will even find it difficult to feel his existence!

Even with Fang Xuanling, Li Yuanjia basically didn't say a few words.

But today I came up to ask Gao Changguo's tribute, which makes people have to be curious: Li Yuanjia is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so what can Gao Chang make him look at, and even ask Fang Xuanling to ask?

"That's right, it's the kapok that Gao Changguo paid tribute to!"

Nodding, Li Yuanjia asked urgently: "Yuanjia wants to ask for a few kapok plants to be planted at home, but I don't know what to do with the tributes from various countries after they arrive at the Ministry of Rites?" Can you ask for it? And Gaochang also sent a farmer to take care of these kapok, can he also come out as well? Will Wang Shangshu agree? Please teach me so. ”

“……”

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, the two prime ministers of the dynasty ...... Oh, Wei Zheng is no longer a servant, it should be that the two bigwigs of the dynasty are speechless at the same time.

said so solemnly, it turned out that he wanted to ask for a few kapok?

Shaking his head almost subconsciously, Wei Zheng was slightly disappointed with Li Yuanjia. Although the best prince is a prince like Li Yuanjia, who only likes strange and obscene skills and has no interest in political affairs, but when he saw this kind of young man who does not seek progress, Wei Zheng still instinctively wanted to sigh - if the other party was an ordinary official, his mouth would have spewed out a lot of truth.

Compared with Wei Zheng's disappointment, which he didn't hide much, Fang Xuanling's face remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile: "King, what do you want that kapok for?" ”

"Kapok? No, that's kapok! ”

Shaking his head, Li Yuanjia seriously corrected Fang Xuanling's statement.

He knew that in these days, everyone regarded cotton as an ornamental plant, and it was a rare ornamental plant, so it seemed that it was not inappropriate to call it a flower. But Li Yuanjia himself knows very well how important this thing is in the future!

In the past few years, he has offered a heavy reward for the seeds of kapok, although he also received it once, but because the subordinates did not understand it, they all planted to death, and Li Yuanjia was so angry that he really beat each of them dozens of boards! So now that he finally saw cotton again, and Gao Changguo sent someone who could plant kapok, how could this not make him excited?

This thing must be in your own hands!

Only Li Yuanjia in the whole Tang Dynasty knows the true value of this kapok, so whether it is a person or a kapok, only when he arrives at the palace of the king of Han can he get the treatment he really deserves. If it is really put in the palace, or placed in the garden outside the city, maybe it will be dead again......

It's just that Li Yuanjia's thoughts, of course Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng won't know, but they are a little speechless about his words: "Kapok? Is there a difference with kapok? ”

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling was too lazy to take it seriously, so he shook his head directly and said: "King, if you want kapok and farmers who plant kapok, it is useless to find Wang Shangshu, you must have Your Majesty's approval!" ”

"Yes, that's a tribute from a vassal state after all."

Wei Zheng next to him also nodded, and said with a smile: "Even if it's just some kapok, Wang Shangshu doesn't dare to give it away easily...... In fact, if the king likes it, he can ask His Majesty directly for it, and I believe His Majesty will not refuse. ”

"That's right...... Thank you both! ”

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed with this result, but Li Yuanjia still thanked him seriously, and then began to secretly think about how to talk to Li Shimin about asking for those kapok and the farmer.

To be honest, he was not very willing to meet his second brother.

It's not that he is afraid of him, after all, now that the Emperor Taishang has collapsed, Li Yuanjia's threat to him has been reduced to a negligible level, so Li Shimin will definitely not be as defensive about his younger brother as he was a few years ago. It's just that Li Yuanjia has always been a little worried about being left in Chang'an and serving as the pastor of Yongzhou, so in addition to being low-key every day, he doesn't really want to dangle in front of the emperor.

And......

If you go to the emperor to ask for something, you can't be empty-handed, right?

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia felt more and more headaches: "Even if I exchange things, what should I take?" There are not many things that can be used to get their hands on the things that the house has recently made......"
