"Why? That Murong Zheng really asked Mei Niang such a thing? ”

In the Danxiao Hall on the other side, Li Zhi, who was finally in good spirits and handled important military and political affairs, heard Qinghe's reply, and looked up at him in disbelief: "That Murong Zheng? ”

"Yes." Qinghe replied.

Li Zhi was silent, and only after a while did he flip through the volume in his hand again, shaking his head, and slowly sighing: "As Mei Niang expected, I really think highly of him......

That's fine, if it's really such a person who doesn't know the importance of it, it doesn't hurt to keep it - not to mention Mei Niang is right, no matter who they were before, now they eat Tang millet and live in the Tang Dynasty, then they are the subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

Since they are subjects of the Tang Dynasty, whether they are me, or Datang, they all have to protect their lives in order to be considered to have lost their own righteousness. ”

"Then my lord, does it need to be postponed to incorporate Shen Yanwei into the forbidden army?" Qinghe stepped forward to serve Mo Yanzhu, and asked in a low voice.

Li Zhi thought about it for a while but shook his head, stretched out his hand to pick up the pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and approved a few words on the scroll in his hand, and then put it together and handed it to the little supervisor next to him and said: "The generals are useless, but it can't just be said that there is no one in the entire Shenyan Guard." What's more, this Murong Zheng is not available, but Murong Rui is a general. Although my Datang generals are now full of talents, they are not afraid of many good materials. Moreover, with the relationship between Murong Rui and Murong Zhen Ruhai, Li Ren's child should always stop a little. ”

"The Lord means...... Murong Zheng doesn't have to stay? ”

Qinghe asked in a low voice.

Li Zhi picked up the pen and thought about it, shook his head before putting it back down:

"Why bother? A person as pretentious as he would no longer think of being a thief in the world. So no matter what, he is bound to retire in this game. In that case, it would be better to keep him—he is also a grateful. In the future, I don't know when I can do something for Mei Niang. ”

Qinghe responded - this was also in his expectation, unlike Minghe, he saw Murong Zheng very clearly, because from the beginning, he did not approve of Minghe's idea of using the life of Cheng's mother and daughter to force Murong Zheng to waste what he had learned.

However, in the end, Minghe is the elder brother, and Murong Zheng has always been disrespectful to Mei Niang, Qinghe also sees it in his eyes, and knows that Li Zhi doesn't like it even more in his heart. So although he and Mei Niang generally felt that they could forgive Murong Zheng's life, they didn't dare to force it in the end.

Now that Li Zhi said this, knowing that Murong Zheng was saved, Qinghe could be regarded as spitting.

Seeing him like this, Li Zhi laughed first: "What? Is Minghe really going to fight against this Murong Zheng and never die? ”

"Let the Lord see and laugh...... However, Brother Ming and Brother Ming would not really want to kill Murong Zheng, but he was just bent on abolishing what he had learned. ”

"This Murong Zheng is arrogant and arrogant, and he has offended many people. His head has been able to stay on his neck for so many years, isn't it because of his ability to compete with his master? Minghe is bent on abolishing his ability, isn't this forcing Murong Zheng to commit suicide to protect his dignity, so as not to die an embarrassing death after being abolished? It can't be like this. This brother of yours is still too dead-eyed. Gai Ming'er, you go to your master Jiarui and ask him to order him a little. ”

Li Zhi worked hard for a long time, and he felt tired, so he rubbed the back of his neck, got up, and walked to the hall to move his muscles and bones.

Qinghe hurriedly followed, and while smiling bitterly, he took a whisk of dust for Li Zhi to lightly beat his clothes a little dust, and sighed: "The Lord knows, now Master Rui is lazy, just drinking, reading, and painting every day, and he has no mind to care about these things at all." ”

When Li Zhi heard this, a trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows: "Is he still only in a daze at Wen Niang's spiritual position every day?" ”

“…… Be. ”

Qinghe bowed his head and replied after a while.

Li Zhi was stunned again when he heard this, and stood with his hands in his hands for a while, looking at the flowing clouds in the sky, but he didn't say a word.

The sound of rain was dripping, and it was not long before it was disturbing. With a long sigh, Li Zhi suddenly turned his head and looked at Qinghe: "I'm tired today, go back to the Great Treasure Hall first, these things ......"

He waved his hand back, "Let's move all over!" ”

A moment later.

The charcoal stove was lit early in the Great Treasure Hall, just to drive away the cold with moisture a little more, Li Zhi was dressed and stomped on his feet, leaned on the couch and embroidered gold, and looked at the discussion carefully. Li Hong, who was also in a simple crown and light clothes, sitting cross-legged next to him, also joined him, seriously criticizing the folding, and from time to time he asked his father what he felt was difficult to understand.

Mei Niang was next to their father and son, ordered someone to set up a small beard, put on a tassel silk liner, set up the four treasures of the study, spread out the fine jade paper, held Li Xian's little hand, and taught him to learn painting one stroke at a time.

On the other side, little Li Xian, who was blocked by his parents and brothers, was holding a small cloth tiger, babbling and salivating, crawling all over the bed, saying things that only he could understand. From time to time, he also giggled at the little cloth tiger in his hand.

When the Qingming brothers saw such a scene, they were all relieved to raise their eyebrows. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, tacitly dividing the labor and cooperation, one went to open the charcoal stove, and the other grabbed a handful of mixed incense powder from the incense box next to him and sprinkled it on the charcoal fire.

The red coals of fire only dimmed slightly, and immediately burned bright and bright, and with such firelight, bursts of fresh and pleasant aroma slowly spread throughout the hall.

Mei Niang was the first to look up at the two brothers, and said with a smile: "This incense is rare—it doesn't have the smoke of fireworks, but it is quite gentle and refreshing...... Isn't it the purple spirit incense that came in this year, the merchant of the Great Food Country? *”

Qinghe immediately smiled and claimed that it was, and Mei Niang nodded and said: "I heard that merchant say a few days ago that this thing originates from the country of the cape, and when the flowers bloom deep purple, when it is prosperous, it is a delicate and pleasant person full of mountains and valleys. It is also said that when this substance is used in women's fat powder, it can have the effect of makeup and plain color. Unexpectedly, this fragrance smells extraordinarily charming. ”

Don't say it's Mei Niang, but Li Zhi smelled this fragrance, and he also felt that he had always been a little drowsy and his mind was much clearer, so he also smiled: "This is actually much better than that Ahmad Xiang*." Although it smells sweet, it will inevitably be a little greasy if it is too sweet. It is this purple fragrance, the fragrance is refreshing and lovely. It's really lovely. ”

"Although this purple spirit incense is good, the aroma is a little too faint, and when it comes to the big noodles, you still have to use Ahmad incense." Li Hong looked up with a smile and looked at his father.

Li Zhi also smiled and nodded, but Mei Niang disagreed: "The incense is not very different." What's so big and not big? ”

Li Hong immediately shut up when he heard this, but Li Zhi didn't think so, and was about to reply to Mei Niang and help his son say a word, when he suddenly rushed into a servant outside the palace, saying that he had something to report.

(Note: Purple Lingxiang, which is today's lavender.) In the Tang Dynasty, lavender was called a spiritual herb. Some people call it purple because of its bright purple color.

Ambergris, that is, ambergris today. The name ambergris only slowly appeared in the late period of Li Zhi. When ambergris was first introduced to the Tang Dynasty in China, it was transliterated as Ahmad by the name of the country it was introduced. ）
