But Gao Yue's persuasion was still effective, and Han Yun did not further embarrass Zhang Yanxun after that, nor did he want to abolish the academy, but sent it to the emperor, saying that he admired Gao Yue and Lu Zhen's plan to prepare for the border very much, and immediately allocated money to implement the plan to build cities in Hechi, Huangyuan and Yanzhou Wuyuan, and asked His Majesty to immediately convene the ministers and the border marshal in the Zichen Palace to finalize the matter.

As for the matter of negotiating peace with Xifan, it was absolutely impossible for Han Rong to agree, and the emperor did not dare to mention it again.

At this time, the emperor was full of happiness, sitting on the rope bed in the hall, facing Han Yun.

"Your Majesty, the summer heat is unbearable, please set up a banquet in the pavilion of Shangshu Province in Qujiang, entertain you coldly, and discuss important matters while eating."

"It's good to be cold!" The emperor had an expression on his face that read "I love to eat".

Han Rong set up a banquet in the Qujiang Pavilion again, and the emperor also came to participate in the car with his car, and the food was cold and tao.

On the list of cold Tao banquets, there are Zhang Yansheng, the waiter of the Chinese book, Li Sheng, the servant of the door, and Li Mian, the servant of the ambassador of Zhufanluo, also returned from the front to participate, in addition to Fengxiang Yin Duan Xiushi, Hedong Jiedu Ma Sui, Xingyuan Jiedu Gao Yue, Xichuan Jiedu Wei Gao, Shaanxi Yu Observation Li Mi, and Hezhong Jiedu Hun Yang are all impressively listed.

And the other two ministers, Yan Zhen and Liu Congyi, Han Yun thinks, "Who are these two people?" "No invitations were sent out at all.

Yan Zhen and Liu Congyi were so angry that they thought about resigning after returning to the house.

The pavilion of Shangshu Province is backed by the thick shade of the apricot orchard, sandwiched between the zigzag lakeside, even in summer, the cool air in the water enters along the eaves of the pavilion, which will not make people feel hot in the summer, but cool and pleasant.

The emperor sat in the center, grinning, and asked the lieutenant beside him to distribute Tibetan ice to the ministers attending the banquet.

This is also the practice of the Tang Dynasty, every hot summer, the emperor will take out the ice hidden in the palace and give it to the courtiers who believe in love, so that they can make drinks to cool off. But those who can get ice are by no means ordinary courtiers, such as the great poet Du Fu who has never gotten it, and he is actually very eager to get it in his heart, so there is a poem: "Thinking about the yellow plum rain, dare to look at the palace Enyujing ice?" ”

The basin bowl contains a hill-like ice cube, while the larger plate next to it contains Han Rong's favorite cold tao.

Gao Yue looked at Leng Tao, which is more similar to the "cold noodles" of later generations, or "rice noodles"? It is made by mixing rice with the juice squeezed from locust buds or locust leaves, then cut into thin strips, boiled in hot water, and then fished out, and eaten cold in summer.

Of course, Han Rong's cold tao, as well as the "toppings": wheat vinegar, cinnamon, peppercorns, plus fresh coriander, and fragrant diced meat, sprinkled evenly on the cold tao.

Mix it with a spoon, then roll it up, put it in your mouth, and suddenly your mouth is like frost and snow, and it has a crisp fragrance, and when you bite the pepper with your teeth, the spicy aroma explodes, making your taste buds hurt and happy, and when you chew the coriander, in the crisp and subtle sound, the quiet beauty goes straight out of the nostrils.

No wonder, this kind of cold noodles, Gao Yue's half master Liu Yan also likes to eat it very much, this one eats steamed hu in winter and cold tao in summer, and he never gets tired of it.

The ministers present all buried their heads, constantly picking up cold noodles, sluggling, especially Han Yun ate particularly fragrant, eating and eating, feeling spicy and sweaty, so they picked up the ice cubes given by the emperor and put them in the wine to drink - some ministers, such as Li Sheng, directly chewed the ice cubes.

And Zhang Yansheng and Ma Sui had very painful expressions when they ate ice.

"This is just eating ice cubes, it is also a tyrannical thing, if there is milk and cane sugar, I can make ice cream ice cubes for you to eat." Gao Yue thought.

The emperor saw that everyone was eating hard, so he smiled and said a few times, saying that there was no hurry, take your time.

In the pavilion, after eating a plate of cold noodles, Han Rong wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose with a silk handkerchief, and then got straight to the point:

First of all, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Duxi has been safely returned to Xifan, I Tang has no hostages in the hands of the other party, so peace talks are impossible to negotiate peace, I read Lu Zhen's article on the side, it is too well written, especially the measure of setting up a marshal - I think, this marshal, first set up the "Marshal Longyou", under the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Jiedu Envoy, Jingyuan Jiedu Envoy, Suining Jiedu Envoy, Xingyuan Jiedu Envoy, specifically to deal with Xifan's host of the great treatise Shang Jiezan, as for the candidate, I recommend Taiwei Duan Xiushi!

The Emperor laughed slightly, touched his beard, and said no more.

The surrounding ministers did not say anything bad.

Only Duan Xiushi tried his best to refuse, and said to the emperor, the minister is too old to take on such a heavy responsibility, it is more suitable to ask Li Linggong to be the marshal, and I will return to the court immediately.

Han Yun and Li Sheng hurriedly said, Taiwei must not be modest.

Duan Xiushi was also very anxious and said, I am not modest......

The emperor continued to laugh a few times and waved his hand, but he didn't know if it was for Duan Xiushi or Han Yun.

"You laugh P, I know you're very bitter in your heart." Gao Yue and Wei Gao looked at Li Shi who was smiling sympathetically.

"Since Captain Duan resolutely refuses to obey, then this Marshal Longyou, who is Sheli Linggong!" In the end, Han Yun could only retreat to the second, and then looked around at Zhou, "Who is against this candidate for Marshal Longyou?" ”

Of course, there was no objection.

Then Han Yun said to Zhang Yansheng, I had a banquet in Qujiang Pavilion before, and I don't know if Zhang Xiangshang can remember the things I mentioned?

Gao Yue saw that Zhang Yansheng's whole body trembled.

Because the last time Han Yun mediated the conflict between him and Li Sheng, he proposed that Li and Zhang become in-laws.

At this time, Han Yun brought up the old matter again, and asked Zhang Hongjing, the son of Zhang Yanxian's family, to marry the daughter of Li Sheng's family.

Zhang Yansheng had no choice but to agree.

"Good, great." The emperor slapped a few times, hahaha.

Han Yun then specially asked Gao Yue to report to the ministers on the reform of the "generals" and "archers" military system of Xingyuan Mansion.

Gao Yue was not polite, his speech was clear, and his voice was loud and clear.

Only when Gao Yue spoke, the emperor did not smile, but made eye contact with himself when he was not aware of it, and his eyes were clearly full of pleading and resentment of "You are a person who rides on the wall in the third year of high school, help me".

And Gao Yue also took the time to give the emperor a look back, which means, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, the ministers will also give Your Majesty an explanation." ”

"Good!" When Gao Yue finished speaking, Han Rong was amazed, and then he arranged:

Du Zhisi took out 1 million yuan, 300,000 to Gao Yue to build a city in Hechi, 300,000 to Xinfengxiang Yin Li Sheng (Li Sheng officially replaced Duan Xiushi out of the town of Fengxiang) to build a city in Huangyuan, and 400,000 to Shen Ce General Luo Yuanguang, leading 10,000 soldiers to build a city in Wuyuan, Yanzhou, with a period of March, completed before the winter solstice, and those who delay are guilty!

In addition, Gao Yue's military system in Xingyuan Mansion was very well innovated, and the three towns of Fengxiang, Jingyuan, and Suining immediately carried out, and the three towns originally had 70,000 soldiers, so they immediately selected 28,000 generals to teach and train, and 42,000 archers to camp on a large scale - everything needed, I will prepare and undertake it!
