"The wind blows the acacia flowers all over the store, and the orchid presses the wine to persuade the guests to taste it", these two poems by Li Bai just illustrate the manufacturing method of Tang wine. At this time, the liquor was mostly "pressed" from the fruit, which was not as good as the distilled liquor of later generations, because of the lack of purification, even the so-called strongest fruit wine Sanle pulp was only a dozen degrees, but it was slightly higher than the beer degree of later generations.

This kind of wine, such a degree, for a traveler who has workplace experience after graduating from college, is really out of sight, in fact, since Tang Cheng crossed over, the entertainment banquet he participated in is really not small, but he really hasn't even drunk once. He even thought that he would never get drunk in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect it......

Vaguely, an unusually majestic city appeared in front of Tang Cheng, in this city, the streets were orderly, prosperous and rich, and a team of mules and horses, and even camel teams brought treasures from all over the world to gather from all directions; Celebrities and scholars dressed in Confucian costumes come here from all over the world, businessmen gather, celebrities gather, and the sound of selling and singing poetry is endlessly over the whole city. Suddenly, the city that radiated endless vitality fell silent for a moment, and all the people in the city gathered their eyes in silence.

They were looking up at the tower of the city, and at this moment, there was only one person on the tower of the rising sunrise looking down quietly, looking at this city full of vitality and vitality.

Long and jade, his back is very young, but this young back is full of confidence and heroism, after standing for a while, the young man silently raised his head, and his eyes looked into the distance......

Suddenly, the young man turned his head, and Tang Cheng could clearly see that he actually had a face that was exactly the same as his own...... Looking at myself in the mirror, I suddenly came to life...... This extremely strange and weird scene made Tang Cheng can't help but scream.

"Great officials, great officials, ......", from the familiar voice in his ears to the familiar person in front of him, Tang Cheng finally woke up from his drunken slumber.

His throat was dry and smoking, his head was dizzy and clumsy, and Tang Cheng, who had just opened his eyes, had a mouth. He said in an astringent voice, "What's wrong?" ”。

"Great official, you are drunk".

Laifu said in his mouth, and served a cup of herbal tea that had been prepared long ago in his hand and fed it to Tang Cheng's mouth.

With the cold tea in his stomach, Tang Cheng woke up completely this time, and while he turned his head to look at the sky outside, the scenes of yesterday afternoon had naturally come to mind.

"It's been a while for a small land to follow a big official. This is the first time I've seen a big official get drunk." Rifle spoke. I had already prepared my freshness water. "But I really didn't drink it last year. When Dr. Naga ordered someone to summon me in. I saw that there were no less than thirty wine jars scattered around the house! One ou is the weight of one pound. That's it. Great officials, you just drink less. There must be a dozen pounds. Gee! ”。

Hear the words. Get up from the couch. was sitting on the pillow, Tang Cheng shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"But the wine of the big officials is good. Even if you are drunk, you don't ...... noisy." Lai Fugang said this with a smile. On the couch, Tang Cheng was shocked and interrupted him in a deep voice. "Rifle. What did I say yesterday after I got drunk? ”。

"Didn't say anything." Lyfza turned around with a pair of water-stained hands. said with a smile: "If you don't say that the big officials have good wine." When you are drunk, you don't move or talk nonsense. Just a few words are all good words."

"What's that?".

"You're sure you'll be able to be a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. Absolutely! The big officials say that this is the land." Said here. Rifle smiled. The words of the great official made Dr. He very happy to hear it. I never stopped laughing."

"Did I really say that?".

"Say, the villain heard it clearly."

During the Kaiyuan period, He Zhizhang served as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he was in charge of the Tang Dynasty for several years, and what he said was not auspicious at all. It's a historical fact, a real historical fact. With a long breath and a slight closure of his eyes, Tang Cheng was more afraid of fear while rejoicing.

Alcohol can mess with sex! And once the chaos is over, the situation is out of his control, for Tang Cheng, who is hiding the world's number one secret, this situation is not only unhappy, but also implies a huge and even fatal risk.

"Blessing, remember, this will happen again in the future. You need to remind me not to drink too much." Hearing this, Laifu turned his head in surprise. Seeing Tang Cheng's solemn face, he nodded without saying anything.

Things need to be kept in mind", after explaining again, Tang Cheng got down from the couch to freshen up.

While serving Tang Cheng to freshen up, Lai Fu, who remembered what He Zhizhang had explained yesterday, repeated those words carefully.

Tang Cheng used a hot towel to cover his somewhat dry face, while quietly listening to Laifu's relay.

Lao He and Zhang Chunjiang can only help to make a name for themselves, and they need the nod of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo to be admitted. The situation that Lao He said didn't surprise him, Shi Linhua chose it! After all, the number of places in the Jinshi Department is too expensive, the quota is small, and there are too many people who come to Beijing to take the examination. In this case, it is time for the powerful to step in to determine where the scarce resources belong.

It's one thing to be able to figure it out and understand, but it's another thing to do it. Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, for Tang Cheng at this time, his status is too far away from this legendary princess, so far that it is difficult to see each other, let alone others.

It will be even more difficult to see a high-ranking official in the later generations, not to mention that this is still the Tang Dynasty, which values the dignity and inferiority, if you just take the plunge and go away, it is very likely that you will not even be able to enter the gate.

"A direct invitation to the straight line is definitely not good", and applying a hot towel to the face is the best way to shrink the skin and lift the spirit. When he put down the towel, Tang Cheng was already in good spirits, "You can't take it directly, it's easy to ask for it in the song, come to the blessing, and prepare the meal!" ”。

After breakfast, Tang Cheng took out the jade sleeve given by Zhang Liang in his bag, and then went straight out of the inn.

The palace of the Prime Minister of Anguo is so easy to find, anyone can know if you ask. Looking at the grandeur of the red wall and blue tiles in front of him and the eight captains wearing chain mail on both sides of the wide open red door, Laifu's mouth was a little tight, "Great official." Famous thorn ......".

"No need", Tang Cheng smiled and waved his hand, and walked straight to the gatehouse.

It is worthy of the royal mansion, this gatehouse alone is much larger than the main hall of Tang Cheng's house in Jinzhou, not to mention the layout inside, the most shocking thing is the eunuch who is wearing a palace uniform.

"Who are you? What's going on here? ”。 Seeing Tang Cheng come in, the eunuch in the gatehouse asked lazily in a male duck voice.

This is the first time Tang Cheng has seen a living eunuch, "Sure enough, it is neither male nor female", after carefully looking at the eunuch, Tang Cheng said with a smile: "Tang Cheng, the secretary of the Yamen of Shannan Dongdao Observer, please see His Royal Highness the Third King of the County."

Without waiting for the frowning eunuch to say anything, Tang Cheng stretched out his backhand, and the jade plate in his sleeve was already presented in front of the eunuch.

"I am born to be useful", after the eunuch turned over and saw the words "Li Longji" on the back of the jade plate, the frowning brow that had just turned into a real sneer. "It turned out to be the honored guest of the Three Highnesses."

"You're new here, what else do you want to log in to the distinguished guest of the Third Highness, stupid!" The eunuch first scolded a little guy who came over with a booklet, and then waved away another guy who came forward to lead the way, "Let's come by ourselves, you guys are good guards."

"It seems that Zhang Liang didn't say much, this jade card is really precious", while retracting the jade card in his hand, Tang Cheng threw a glance at Laifu who followed him in.

Between nods, Rifle pulled it in his sleeve, consistently. This is a palace man, and he really can't do it! Neither can it be ...... There are too many ten-fold places, which makes Laifu feel painful. In the end, when a five-run ticket was found from the stack of flying tickets, Laifu was finally satisfied, and then the opportunity to take a step forward was quietly stuffed into Tang Cheng's hand.

Lai Fuzi waited in the gatehouse, and Tang Cheng was led by the eunuch to the palace of thousands of households.

Receiving the Wuguan Gate Money handed over by Tang Cheng, the eunuch who called Fuhai showed a smile on his face, and after walking left and right for a while, he had already taken Tang Cheng to a cross-courtyard composed of many side courtyards.

There is also a door guarding in front of this cross-courtyard. After handing over the jade plaque again, after a while, Tang Cheng's old acquaintance Zhang Liang walked out from inside with a smile.

"Ah Cheng, why did you arrive so late?" , Zhang Liang also took out a flying ticket from his bosom and hit the eunuch, then turned his head and said with a smile: "When you count, you really didn't arrive early."

"As long as it's not too late", Tang Cheng smiled and returned the salute, then turned his head and glanced at the eunuch who had just left. "Brother Zhang. How much did you hit him? ”。

"Twenty times, what's wrong?". Hearing this, Zhang Liang was a little puzzled.

At this point, Tang Cheng finally understood the origin of Fuhai's strange expression just now, and said with a smile as he walked inside: "No wonder people say that the Houmen is as deep as the sea, if it is not deep, don't talk about it, a door will cost twenty yuan, if this person is poor, he really can't afford it."

"That's him! After all, it was assigned by the palace, spend a little money to save a lot of trouble, Ah Cheng, you didn't log in your name when you came in, right", seeing Tang Cheng nodded, Zhang Liang smiled and said: "This is the benefit of twenty yuan."

"If you log in, you will log in, what is this?".

Hearing this, Zhang Liang shook his head with a smile and said in a low voice: "Ah Cheng's words are wrong. The registration book of visitors to each royal palace is to be submitted to Zongjin Temple on a monthly basis. Not for this, the third highness is neither a son-in-law nor the eldest son in this mansion. The fiefdom is in Linzi again, and there are a large number of visitors who have just returned to Beijing, and they are still taboo after all."

"Back to Beijing! Lots of visitors! Although Zhang Liang said it vaguely, Tang Cheng already understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile and didn't ask again.

Before and after the door of the main room in a small partial courtyard at the back of the courtyard, Zhang Liang slowed down and whispered to Tang Cheng: "There is a meeting inside, sit with me when you go in, but listen to it."

Tang Cheng nodded, and then walked in with Zhang Liang, who pushed open the door.

There were no less than ten people sitting in this small main room, both young and old, and although two of them were wearing civilian clothes, judging from their sitting posture and the smell of their bodies, they were definitely warriors who ate military food.

Sweeping over the room, Tang Chengdi's eyes were finally firmly attracted by the young man sitting on the couch.

"Li Longji", almost at the same time as he saw him, Tang Cheng had already popped up this name in his mind.

is about equal to the height of 1.8 meters in later generations, which makes Li Longji, who is already tall, more majestic, and the rest of the room is under his overlook. His facial features are quite similar to Tang Cheng's, and he does not have the delicate appearance of the current Guisheng's children, but more of the distinct outlines of his ancestors in Longxi. At the opening of the Nanmu window, a touch of sunlight shines through the window and reflects on half of the face, and in the contrast between light and shadow, the well-defined Li Longjiyi shows a vigorous heroic spirit.

And what impressed Tang Cheng the most was Li Longji's eyes, there was a vulgar saying in later generations that "eyes are the windows of the soul", and Li Longji in front of him is the best proof of this vulgar saying, there are far more black pupils in his eyes than ordinary people, which makes his already very bright eyes brighter and brighter, very bright and bright.

Such a figure, such a sitting posture, such a facial contour Under the leadership of such a pair of eyes, Tang Cheng, who looked at Li Longji, exhaled lightly, he had only read the description in the history books before, but now he really saw me, but fortunately, Li Longji, who was in the ambitious youth in front of him, at least did not disappoint him in terms of appearance. This should be the case for a hero who worked hard in the first half of his life and created a world of great prosperity in Kaiyuan.

Just as Tang Cheng was looking at Li Longji, Li Sanlang also turned his head.

Between the eyes, Li Longji obviously had a stunned movement, but only a moment later, he had returned to his normal slight smile, and his smile was really like a spring breeze.

After the other people in the room turned their heads to look at the two of them, they turned back to continue the meeting, Zhang Liang led Tang Cheng to a stool at the back of the house and settled down, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then quietly walked to Li Longji's side, whispering a few words in his ear.

Li Longji smiled and nodded, and when his eyes glanced at Tang Cheng again, it was clear that there was something different, but he didn't say anything.

After Zhang Liang came back, he sat down next to Tang Cheng, pointed to the person in the room who was talking eloquently, and then whispered: "Ah Cheng, this is Liu Youqiu, the confidant of the third prince, listen to it."

This Liu Youqiu is talking about Empress Wei, "Your Highness, Empress Wei first promoted He Louwu, a female general of the Fan clan, to the rank of general last year; Immediately, he ordered the palace maid to spread rumors, saying that there were five-colored clouds supporting the phoenix at the opening of his suitcase to create auspiciousness; Now he is even more determined to serve as the sub-sacrifice in the southern suburbs of the southern suburbs in February next spring. His intentions are indeed Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it."

"This is nothing new, the trick that the queen mother is using now is just to regain the wisdom of the former queen", the answer was another person in the room, and what caught Tang Cheng's attention was that this person's facial features were eight points similar to Zhang Liang. When Tang Cheng was looking at him, the man continued: "Queen Wei has already walked the steps that should be learned, and now the question is when will Empress Wei do it?" ”。

"This is my brother", while Zhang Liang whispered to Tang Cheng Shao, he listened to Liu Youqiu's categorical tone and said: "The picture is poor and the dagger is seen, and the day of Wei Hou's difficulty will not be delayed next year."
