Chengdu Mansion, in front of the main hall of the palace, the palace gate is still closed, and there are ministers coming from the palace gate one after another to participate in the court meeting. When everyone came to the front of the temple, they found that many colleagues were already waiting in front of the temple, which made many people feel very surprised.

Because everyone found that those who participated in today's court meeting were not only important members of various ministries, but even a prime minister in Chengdu came. In addition, even some officials who are usually not qualified to go to the court have also come, which makes many people a little strange, today is the Great Dynasty Meeting (Tang Dynasty Collection)?

But how can there be a big court meeting today? Could something good happen? Or is it that the good news from Chang'an is not successful? Everyone is speculating, but some well-informed people don't know what's going on.

"Wang Xiang, what's going on? Could it be that there is good news from Chang'an? Why are so many people coming to the court meeting today? Xiao Yu (gou four sounds), who was wearing a purple suit, came to Wang Duo, who was relatively close, and looked at the surrounding court officials who had arrived in front of the palace one after another, and he was also a little puzzled.

Xiao Yu is also one of the four phases in Chengdu at this time, the official worship of the Zhongshu Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi and the Ministry of Shangshu, and it is from the Lanling Xiao family. As for the relationship between Xiao Yu and Wang Duo, it has to be traced back to 17 years ago, when Xiao Yu was taking the imperial examination, Wang Duo happened to be the chief examiner, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiao Yu can also be said to be Wang Duo's protégé. And the most interesting time is that both of them are visiting the prime minister this year, and they are extremely popular.

"It turned out to be Xiao Xiang." Wang Duo, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Yu, said hello, and then shook his head, "Since Your Majesty entered Shu, there has been less and less time to open the dynasty, and there is only a court meeting like today, and the only thing that Zheng Xiang defeated the Huangchao rebels and gave His Royal Highness King Shou a marriage last time. ”

"Doesn't the king know either?" Xiao Yu hurriedly asked.

Wang Duo shook his head, "Not only do I not know, but Pei Xiang and Wei Xiang don't know either, they both received it last night to open the dynasty today, so they came early." ”

"This is strange, is there good news from the front line to pacify the rebels?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised.

"I don't know, I'm afraid I won't know until after the DPRK." Wang Duo was also very helpless, but he was also surprised to see a brightly dressed young man in the distance, surrounded by a group of court officials, to the front of the palace, and he was also surprised to see the person coming.

"Why is this Shouwang here? Isn't he not very court-like? ”

Although Li Ye now follows Li Yi to deal with government affairs, he rarely goes to the court, after all, he is a prince, and some rules still have to be followed, and Li Ye doesn't want to cause trouble in the court, so in addition to major events, he generally does not go to the court. Of course, Li Ye's absence from the court does not mean that he can't influence the emperor, and everyone in the court knows that Li Yi attaches great importance to King Shou, the emperor's younger brother, and often goes in and out of the palace and participates in confidential affairs, which is more than the time that several other prime ministers have seen Li Yi, the emperor.

"Not only King Shou, but King Ji and King Fu are also here, it seems that something has happened in this court meeting today."

With so many courtiers coming, brothers Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan naturally would not be absent, but they were all surprised to see the situation in front of the palace, which was not much better than Wang Duo and others. Tian Lingzi hurriedly inquired from his eyeliner in the palace, and he didn't know what was going on, only that so many people in the court meeting today might be because King Shou had come to the palace yesterday.

As the early dynasty was about to begin, the door of the temple slowly opened, and the ministers who were waiting outside entered one after another, but when they entered the main hall, they were so shocked that they couldn't close their jaws when they saw the situation in the hall.

"What's going on? Your Majesty wants to entertain me? ”

"I don't know, Your Majesty's mind is hard to guess, and I don't know what this means."

"So many tables? There's a tea set on it? ”

"Don't guess, there's our names on it, let's take our seats."

At this time, the hall was full of small long tables, the table was not long, and it could accommodate one person, in fact, it was the kind of small long table used by the emperor for banquets before. At this time, there are several rows on both sides of the hall, although they are not counted, but there are still hundreds of small tables, which shows that the palace hall is not small. On the table, there is a set of tea sets, boiling water, and of course, food, but it is quite simple.

Although all the ministers were very curious, the ministers from Chang'an knew that their Majesty had done very unusual things from time to time, and they had appointed the envoy of the Sanchuan Festival before, and they actually decided directly by playing polo. Such child's play has happened, and they are not surprised by other things, but they don't know what kind of moth they are going to do today, I hope they don't go too out of line.

As the ministers took their seats one after another, amid the shouts of the eunuchs, Li Yi, the emperor, finally came belatedly, and when he saw that the people were coming, he also showed a smile on his face.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Zhongqing is flat."

These ministers in front of him, in Li Yu's eyes at this time, are not courtiers, but money bags, who doesn't know that these ministers' families are very rich.

Let's just say that Wang Duo, from the Wang family in Taiyuan, has been rich and noble, has a group of concubines in his family, how can he afford to support so many people without money, and he also bought a big house in Chengdu; Xiao Yu, not to mention, from the Lanling Xiao family; Pei Che, from Wenxi Pei's; Wei Zhaodu is from Jingzhao Webster. At this time, the four prime ministers around Li Yi were all from a big family, and no matter which one of them was rich.

Although Li Yi is greedy for money, it is not good to rob it directly from the homes of his ministers, but Li Ye has thought of a way to earn money from the hands of these ministers. So at this time, these ministers are Li Yi's money bags, and even today's attitude is much better.

However, Li Yi's attitude made the ministers a little worried, which is a bit unusual!

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Yi opened his mouth and said loudly, "Today, the main purpose of convening the secretaries to open this early dynasty is to discuss state affairs. However, since it is still early, I specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare some food for the secretaries, and then talk about state affairs after they have eaten and drunk enough. ”

"Your Majesty...

Wang Duo was full of doubts, and was about to stand up to let the emperor solve his doubts, but Li Yi directly interrupted him, "Wang Qing, please sit down, what's the matter, I'll talk about it later." The people take food as the sky, and you Aiqing are attending the court meeting so early, I can't let the people go hungry.

Come, bring the food. ”

Seeing the palace maids and eunuchs rushing in, even if Wang Duo had doubts, he could only hold back for the time being and sit down to see what was going on. While the palace maids and eunuchs were busy, Li Yi on the dragon chair winked at Li Ye, and Li Ye secretly gave a thumbs up.

Eating is just a very common food, and the ministers didn't think anything of it, but the next scene happened that made the ministers a little surprised.

The Tang Dynasty liked to drink tea, and it became a habit to drink some tea after a meal, especially these ministers. However, they found that the tea brewed by the tea leaves in front of them was completely different from what they usually saw, just took out a few sun-dried tea leaves, and then brewed them like this, the fragrance was not at all comparable to the tea they and others had drunk before.

If the tea they drink now is considered tea, then the tea they drank before is waste water in the ditch, and it is difficult to taste at all.

Although these ministers were very curious, no one dared to get up for a long time and ask what kind of tea it was, and why it was so delicious.

Seeing that all the ministers were attracted by the tea in front of him, Li Ye knew that the goal had been achieved. Since it is a drill, you can't let Li Yi, the emperor, perform awkwardly alone, and at this time, Li Ye needs to come out to cooperate.

"Brother Huang, how is this tea different from what the usual courtiers drink, the aroma is stronger, and it gives people a very comfortable feeling. Don't know what kind of tea this is? I also asked the imperial brother to inform me that the younger brother should also send someone from the house to buy one or two. Li Ye said 'curiously'.

Hearing Li Ye's question, the attention of the ministers was immediately attracted, although it was not good to stare directly, but they put their ears straight up, for fear that they would fall behind. After drinking the tea in front of them, they don't want to drink the previous tea in the future, if this tea can be bought in the market, they naturally want to buy some to drink themselves.

Seeing that the attention of the ministers had been attracted, Li Yi was also very happy, so he smiled and said, "King Shou, in fact, you have this tea in your house, which is ordinary Mengding tea, but because of the different methods of making it, you didn't drink it." This is what someone gave to me a few days ago, and I think it tastes very good. Such a good tea, I can't bear to drink it alone, so I took this opportunity today to let all the secretaries taste this good tea like fairy dew, which can be regarded as a reward for the hard work of the secretaries during this time.

It is said that this tea was bought from Fufang City, Chengdu, and as for the real or fake, I don't know. ”

Seeing the pricked up ears of the ministers, Li Yi finally mentioned the point after saying a lot of praise.

Bought in the market? Does that mean this tea is available? Hearing this news, many people couldn't help but be secretly happy in their hearts.
