Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is another harvest season. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Different from the disasters in large areas in the previous two years, although Guanzhong has also suffered from drought of varying degrees this year, the impact has not been very great under the intense and careful planning of the DPRK and China. And after watching the center of the court for a few months, Luo Yan did have a full understanding of the political game. It was also at this time that Luo Yan discovered how tolerant Li Shimin was to himself.

If what he did was put on other people who were not Li Shimin's descendants, Wei Zheng would be set up as an example for other factions to win over. As for the others, hehe, Wang Jue served as Li Jiancheng's hardcore for a few days, but he was replaced again as soon as April passed.

These days, Li Shimin has been happily closing his mouth.

The reason for this is that this year's harvest is finally not as worrying as the previous two years. Although the previous drought had worried Li Shimin for a long time, when the localities reported the grain situation at the end of June, he looked at the tax documents counted by the household department, not to mention how satisfied he was.

After following Li Shimin for almost eight months, Luo Yan cried for the first time when he saw him smiling and laughing.

It's really embarrassing for Li Shimin. Not to mention the praise and smearing of him by later generations, Li Shimin has really been under pressure in the past three years after changing the Yuan Zhenguan. As a person with extreme pride in his heart, ascending to the throne does not mean that his heart is satisfied.

On the contrary, Li Shimin, who came to power through a bloody coup, is extremely sensitive to the origin of the throne. This sensitivity fueled his determination to prove to the world that he could do better. In the past few years, the external worries and internal troubles have really frustrated the residual pride in Li Shimin's heart.

Now that he is ushering in the first bumper year after he ascended the throne, Li Shimin is unhappy, which is fake.

In the golden autumn of August, Li Shimin took his close ministers to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers with great interest.

Since Tao Yuanming, this chrysanthemum appreciation has also become a great pleasure for princes and nobles in autumn. Li Shimin is also a good and elegant character, so naturally he can't miss it. Especially some time ago, Kannai Province sent hundreds of precious chrysanthemums along with the tax, and according to legend, there is a pot of flowers blooming purple gold, which is extremely rich.

August isn't just about chrysanthemums. Moreover, the gardeners who tended to the flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden were not simple characters. Before I even entered the Imperial Garden, I could already smell the sweet fragrance in the air. Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin smiled and said to the people around him: "When you smell this smell, you will know what to eat tonight." ”

The osmanthus cake in the palace is made of the best fresh osmanthus and the frosting brought from Persia to boil it, so that the osmanthus candy is obtained. And the noodles used to make osmanthus cake are also carefully ground by stone mills, and then gently sifted with the finest gauze, and only the finest flour is taken. Finally, it is served with fried duck fat, and the osmanthus sugar and flour are mixed and steamed.

Today, Li Shimin walked up to the gate of the imperial garden, and said such a sentence, the waiter had already gone down to tell the imperial chefs to prepare.

Taiji Palace was built in the Sui Dynasty, after such a long period of continuous operation, this imperial garden is full of strange stones. No, as soon as he came in, Luo Yan saw a few bluegrass plants fighting for beauty. I don't know how the gardeners tended to it, but there were several flowers of different colors. This alone made Luo Yan, a person who had rarely seen orchids in his previous life, amazed.

Further on, there are more than a dozen Yueji trees blocking the road. From time to time, the gardeners spray water mist on the flowers, and although the sun is high at the moment, there are still faint traces of water on the petals. The moon flowers are divided into four colors, some are light yellow, some are bright red, some are pink, and some are light purple. Although he was blocked from going to the road, seeing such beautiful flowers, Li Shimin's mood became more and more happy.

The interest was sudden, and he also recited a poem in front of everyone, which made the living house people busy for a while. After reading the poem, Li Shimin asked Luo Yan with a smile: "Jinzhi, young generation, you are famous for your poetry." I think about the notice you posted at the door of the natural residence when the style of poetry was innovated, but I was sweating when I read it. Now tell me, how is my poem? ”

If you meet someone else, it is estimated that you will think more at this moment, and you must keep patting on the back.

But unfortunately, Li Shimin met Luo Yan.

"Your Majesty's governance of the country should be top, the mind is the top, and the employment of people is the top, which everyone in the world knows. However, the body is cultivated, the evil is punished, and the poetry is also the next, and the world does not know. Luo Yan was serious, adhering to the principle of nine points of praise and one point of argumentation, and said all this paragraph in one breath. Then he looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

This really made Li Shimin cry and laugh. I asked about composing poetry, and you pulled me a lot of good, and then said that I really didn't write poetry.

Pointing at Luo Yan's fingers, he trembled, and Li Shimin said with a helpless expression on his last face: "Do you know, just what you said just now, I really want people to pull you down and hit the board." You are one, Wei Zheng is one, and you want to make me unhappy all day long, right? You said that it was hard to come out and walk around the garden, can you still have a good time? ”

The living room didn't save any face for Li Shimin, and what Luo Yan and he said to each other at this time, every word was not omitted at all, and it was all recorded on the page. Li Shimin is worried about it. Li Shimin has the urge to scold the living room, don't write bad things about me, it's okay.

Fortunately, Li Shimin soon changed his mood, because of Luo Yan's criticism, Li Shimin took the opportunity to ask him for poetry.

I don't know how long I walked, but I finally saw the legendary purple chrysanthemum next to a gazebo in the garden.

It's really bizarre, it's purple gold, but it's actually a few dark yellow bands mixed with light purple petals. The ribbon is relatively narrow, but when you get closer, you can clearly see the lines. Li Shimin has been the emperor for three years, and this is the first time he has seen such a flower. In addition, when he originally submitted the report, it was reported that it was auspicious, and Li Shimin himself felt that this was the best reward from God for his political clarity.

After getting together in front of the chrysanthemum for a long time, Li Shimin also felt a little tired. As soon as he walked to the pavilion, he sat down on the stone bench.

I saw that several housekeepers around me were standing, especially the housekeepers, with paper and pen in their hands, and their foreheads were sweating. "Okay, today we are all visitors to this imperial garden, and everyone is tired at this time, so we all sit down and rest." Li Shimin's gentle opening made these people panic.

Where in the world is there anything equal to the emperor, if there is, it is not far from death.

repeatedly excused himself, but Li Shimin was eyeing Luo Yan. "Jinzhi, you have always been bold, why have you become like this today. Sit down, there are just some things that I want to talk to you about in advance. I know you've always had a long-term view, but if you have predicted everything, it is worth asking for your opinion on this matter. ”

Since Li Shimin said so, Luo Yan no longer shirked. Isn't it just to make a stone bench, what are you afraid of, I dared to argue with Li Shimin at the beginning. As long as he doesn't do anything bad in private, what can Li Shimin do.

"Your Majesty has something, just say it. Luo Yan must know everything, and there is no end to words. He bowed his hand to Li Shimin, and then asked.

"That's right, I've read the list of treasury from the household department these days, and now, I already have the capital to fight the Turks. I don't know what you think about this matter? Li Shimin's eyes were shining at the moment, and he looked at Luo Yan quite eagerly.

After listening to Li Shimin's story, Luo Yan was happy in his heart. This thing is really coming, I originally thought it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the August troops recorded in the history books are probably no drama, who would have thought that it would start from themselves

I have to agree to what else to say.

"In this matter, Luo Yan has won and lost several times, and Your Majesty will naturally understand my point of view after listening to it." It is not specifically said how many wins and several defeats. Originally, this sentence was just to pretend to be forced, and there was no detailed draft at all, what if the details were not able to be said at that time.

"Datang has been bullied by the Turks for a long time, and the people's grievances are boiling, so I can use it, and this victory is also; The Turks are arrogant and arrogant by nature, and they are arrogant, and this defeat is also a failure. Although Datang has suffered hardships, it is internally stable, and these two victories are also; The Turkic civil strife was undecided, the people's hearts were fluctuating, and these two defeats were also. Datang is united, His Majesty is in power, and the soldiers obey their orders, and these three victories are also; There were many Turkic tribes, the rights of Jieli were divided, and it was difficult to mobilize troops. …… The treasury of the Tang Dynasty is abundant, the people are rich, and these eight victories are also; The Turks are not good at management, the people's livelihood is withering, and these eight defeats are also. ”

Following the impression that he didn't know who was the eight wins and eight defeats, Luo Yan also made a detailed comparison between the Turkic and Tang forms.

After a series of words, Luo Yan only felt that his mouth was dry, and he didn't care that the Tang Emperor was sitting next to him, so he picked up the tea bowl on the table and drank it all.

With this drink, the eyes of the attendants and housekeepers around him jumped, and they said in their hearts, Luo Yan, you are too arrogant, how can you be so rude in front of the emperor. When some people were about to get up and impeach, they suddenly heard Li Shimin patting the stone table and laughing: "That's good, it's really good." In the past three years, I don't know how many Turkic-related words I have heard, but today's paragraph has made me feel fluctuating and want to get drunk. ”

After the applause, he turned to the house man and said, "You must record this passage clearly." Tomorrow when I come to the court, I will let all the ministers listen. Hahaha. ”

After laughing for a long time, Li Shimin praised Luo Yan: "That's a good point." ”

"Your Majesty, since you are going to fight the Turks, there is one thing I want to ask Your Majesty to answer." Hearing that Li Shimin was in a good mood, Luo Yan naturally minded climbing up the pole and immediately put forward conditions.

Thinking that Luo Yan had any suggestions, Li Shimin asked more expectantly: "What do you have to do, just say it." ”

"Since it's a Turkic fight, let me go with you." Luo Yan said a word, and let Li Shimin sit on the spot, pointing at him for a long time and not being able to reply. (To be continued.) )
