Chapter 532: Holding Stinky Feet

Da Changhui thought in his heart, if he couldn't go back, should he simply find a way to take the imperial examination. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Nowadays, there are many places in the Tang Imperial Examination, and there are sub-disciplines, regions, and positions. There is no longer a distinction between the former internal and external officials, and all of them must be obtained by examination. Otherwise, it's a budding shade.

Then they all have to go to the Hanlin Academy to study. That's a good grade. At the local level, it is necessary to enter the local county school and the state school and study. Only those who pass the grades can become officials. He is a great Changhui, how can he be regarded as having studied in Datang and entered the Guozijian, he thinks that his talent is not too bad. You can find a job in the local area.

Otherwise, he didn't know what to do. Trade? He didn't have that day. It is said that today's saint, when he was in micro-service, started from scratch and laid a foundation, but he didn't have that ability. After thinking about it, it's better to mix with the magistrates. No matter what the position, the officials of Datang are not bad.

In this way, with a full stomach full of thoughts, he finished eating without knowing what to eat, walked out, and found that Xi Erzhi, who went out first, had not left yet. Not only has he not left yet, but even Kailuo is here.

However, now that Xi'er's knives have been pulled out, they are not aimed at Kailuo. It was aimed at him, a person who seemed to be dressed as a Khitan.

What's going on? Dachanghui hasn't figured it out yet. Xi Erzhi made a move, and stepped forward, shining with a sword, vowing to split the person opposite in half.

The person opposite him was not fuel-efficient, so the two of them started to do it, and there were a lot of idle and bored people around him who watched the play. These two guys, why did they fight in front of the public.

'Kailuo, what's going on?' Da Changhui approached Kailuo, he should know, 'No, that. Kailuo said to another Khitan Nunu, "That's Yun Deshi, Khitan Yelu Dede." ’

'And then? Da Changhui is a little inexplicable, what's wrong with the Yelu Department? The Khitan people are divided into eight divisions, and they are currently in charge of the remote department. However, the strength of the Yelu Department should not be underestimated, Yelu Sa got the thorn, served as the Khitan Yu Yue, and his status was extremely high.

Yu Yue, this position is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The Khitan people, not like the Tang Dynasty, can participate in the discussion of politics by hanging a Tongping chapter matter, and they can be regarded as prime ministers, and the Khitan people can be regarded as Yu Yue, which can be regarded as below one person and above ten thousand people.

'What's going on?' Da Changhui asked, "I don't know, when Xi Er came out, he saw him if he didn't die, and the two sides fought." Kailuo shook his head.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, stop the two of them first." Da Changhui decided not to ask the reason for the time being, and stopped the two of them first, this is not an ordinary place, something happened here, and it is estimated that Datang will come soon.

'Who's here to make trouble?' Da Changhui's words were late, Chang'an is now catching fast, and soon appeared here. Don't look at where this is, it's a royal property. So, the catch comes quickly. Then I saw two people making trouble, regardless of the lives of others, when the street was opened, they immediately stepped forward to take people.

'Who dares to stop me, I am a Khitan envoy, I am the son of Khitan Yelan Khan, Xi Erzhi. The two were soon separated, and then each of them was shackled.

Xi Erzhi was not convinced, yelled and yelled, identified his identity, and wanted these catches to catch Yun Deshi quickly. And Yun Deshi was not to be outdone, and also said that he was an envoy, an envoy of the Khitan Yelu Department.

'Shut up. The two were knocked on the head respectively, and the catcher shouted, "Everyone is the same, if you commit a crime, you will be arrested." The above has already explained, and I don't want to see these envoys today.

In the past, these envoys, if something happened, if the store backstage was hard, they would lose some money. If the backstage is not hard, it will consider itself inverted.

However, as Li Chen tightened his diplomatic spending, he was no longer the main wrongdoer, and after paying for these vain food, he didn't even wait to see them, and was instructed that if they committed a crime, they would be arrested directly and punished heavily. No more preferential treatment will be given. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you are an envoy or not, no matter whose son you are, or not the son of the emperor, you must be locked up.

Da Changhui and Kailuo could only helplessly watch the two being taken into Chang'an County Ya and detained, fortunately, no one was injured, the utensils were damaged, and it would be good to compensate, but they made trouble in public and were punished for wearing flails. Wearing heavy shackles, he stood for three days. It's really torturous to the dead.

However, now there is also an option, labor service in fifteen months. After wearing it for a day, the two chose labor services, both of them are in good shape, and now the Khitan people have not yet reached the time of pampering, but this flail is definitely enough to toss people.

It is not easy to change the labor service, although there is no need to wear heavy shackles, but this labor service is not like that of later generations, it is to clean up the community, tidy up the environment, and it is a real work. Because Datang began to build large-scale construction, roads had to be paved everywhere, and cement was widely used.

Cement is rarely used to pave roads now, and cement roads are expensive. I often see some people who say that after the mass production of cement, it can be very cheap, which is really a joke. However, the material used in cement is not a valuable material, but if you want how much cement will cost in the future and how much it will be worth in the Tang Dynasty, then you just don't take into account the limitations of the times.

In these years, the transportation was inconvenient and the mining volume was low, but it was not as developed as the machinery in later generations. The traffic is even more inconvenient. To make cement, you have to transport the material from different places and fire it, how can it be so convenient. After the invention of cement, no one used it to pave the road for a long time.

It is asphalt that is used to pave the road, natural asphalt, the kind of natural asphalt that gushes out naturally, and the mining cost is low. In addition, the freight and labor will not be very expensive, and it will be possible to pave the road. No one paved the road with cement at all.

At the beginning, Li Chen used cement to pave the road, which was just an experiment. Experiment with the characteristics of cement, how to construct, whether it is durable. It's just an experimental nature, and Chang'an, the road conditions are really bad, mud roads, rain and snow, it's very troublesome. Although he didn't have a good face, since it was an experiment by the way, he paved Chang'an on a cement road. It is also convenient for ministers and the common people to pass.

At present, the largest use of cement is to build irrigation ditches, which cost a lot, but it is not as expensive as building roads, and ditches are a century-old plan, and they are expensive.

In order to reduce the cost of cement, Li Chen used a lot of labor without money, some people who were demoted to slavery, and prisoners. These people don't have to pay for food. It can reduce the cost of cement.

Xi Erzhi and Yun Deshi were sent to help burn cement without wearing a flail, but it was not easy. made the two of them cry bitterly. For those who are not used to it, it is very tiring.

To make matters worse, the two were strong and sent to do some rough work. It doesn't matter, both of them are unruly, because they resisted the overseers several times, although they did not deduct food for the sake of labor efficiency, but the sentence was extended for many days. In the end, if it weren't for Li Chen's amnesty, I don't know how long these two goods would continue to work and serve.

After the two were released, it was New Year's Day in a few days. They were informed that they would rest for a few days and that they would participate in the pilgrimage. The two brothers were in a dilemma, glared at each other, and had to go back to their respective embassies to rest. A few days later, it will be the sixth year of junior high school.

'It's been more than ten years. Li Chen stood still and asked Yang Er and Chao to put on the cumbersome dress for him. Those healthy women can't do this, and a few of his concubines are responsible for this matter.

'What's been more than ten years?' Yang Er heard Li Chen talking to himself, raised his head and asked, "It's nothing?" Li Chen shook his head, "Okay?" ', 'Cheng. Chao Shi circled around Li Chen to see if there was anything missing.

This belly seems to be a little big, and it lacks exercise. Li Chen pressed his waist and felt a little tight, "Why don't you let the craftsman modify it?" Yang Er looked at Li Chen's small belly, stroked his chin with his hand, and said worriedly.

No need, revise this trouble, and by the way, remind yourself that you can't lack exercise. Li Chen patted his stomach again, and said with emotion, "In the past, Uncle Liu Huang sighed that his belly was raw, but now I am born with this belly." ’

Li Chen patted his little belly and sighed that he was not young, he was in his forties, and he was still in the prime of life in modern times, but in ancient times, this age was not small. Of course, that refers to some common people, wealthy families, in their forties or in the prime of life.

However, Li Chen actually sighed that it has been more than ten years since he came to this world. By the way, I sighed at my age, I still have a lot of things to do, but I can't neglect to exercise, and I am halfway through.

'Alright, it's time to go to court. Li Chen is ready to go to court. Every year, the pilgrimage meeting is annoying, although a bunch of people pay homage to you, it's really refreshing, but there are a lot of processes, not to mention, and the equipment is also very heavy.

And the last dance, every year I watch it, I am worried about those old ministers, worried that they can hold up? In fact, he really wanted to change this dance to a palace ball. But when I think of this equipment, it's troublesome.

How can you dance when you wear such a heavy outfit? I have to say that these ministers should thank Li Chen for being lazy, otherwise they will be annoyed. This thought, Li Chen thought about it every year, but this year, Li Chen suddenly had an idea, since the Tang people like to dance so much, it would be better to hold a New Year's ball.

Like a foreigner, a court ball is held. Well, it's not that he's flattering, but since dancing is one of the Tang customs, it's better to hold a ball. Back then, he did a court dance, a waltz or anything, and he didn't have much chance to show off.

Li Chen was bored to see the end of the ceremony, he felt that it was annoying, and many people regarded it as a great opportunity, especially those foreign envoys. After dancing, he was in a hurry to hold Li Chen's stinky feet.

It's not a sycophant, well, it's not right to say that, it's a sycophant, but in terms of behavior, it's a stinky foot, and it's really a stinky foot, which was called "holding the foot and sniffing the boots" in the Tang Dynasty.

I don't know where these nomads got used to it, especially like stinky boots? Dancing to the Emperor's side, then kneeling, holding his boots with both hands, and then bowing his head to sniff, or kiss the tips of the Emperor's boots, with his nose. This was the highest way of nomadic worship in all ages.

finally came to the last link, the Khitan envoy, Xi Erzhi was about to step forward and sniff his boots. On the other hand, Deyun is really not slow, and he has to step forward to sniff his boots, but his movements are one step slower than Xi Erzhi, if it is not in front of the king, it is very likely that he will be used as an assassin by the guards in front of the palace and be killed on the spot, he wants to do it with Xi Erzhi.

Nowadays, it can only be one step slower. Wait for the next one. And Xi Erzhi was one step faster, and he was in a good mood, as if he had won a big battle, and he sniffed Li Chen's boots proudly.

Li Chen smiled, and he was impulsive to kick this guy out with a kick in his heart, he really didn't have this habit. Having said that, it seems that the Tang Dynasty has not had a nomad perform this great gift for many years. That is, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu reminded that those tribes were frightened this year, and it is very likely that they will perform this ceremony, otherwise Li Chen will really kick this guy away.

(Or simply, in the future, it is stipulated that this kind of etiquette should be performed, and it will be necessary for women and beautiful women?) Let those tribes send beautiful women to be envoys? Forget it, this kind of thing, just think about it. This kind of thing is too messy.

After Xi Erzhi finished, Yun Deshi couldn't wait to squeeze him away, Xi Erzhi glared at him again, he still wanted to speak, talk to the Tang Emperor about his grievances, and give Yun Deshi some eye medicine by the way, but he was squeezed away. Finally, these days, the labor service was not done in vain, and I endured it.

Actually, he should have rolled after sniffing his boots according to the regulations, so Yun Deshi didn't do anything wrong, he was the one who was at fault. I can only endure it. Yun Deshi finished doing it, and replaced the envoys of the grassland peoples, Li Chen endured it while thinking about other things.

(Didn't the ancients also keep boots?) It was as if the magistrate had done a good job, and the people were reluctant to let him go, so they would take off his boots as a souvenir. Does it have anything to do with it? Li Chen sniffed his boots from holding his feet, and even thought that in ancient times, when a certain magistrate was very good to the people, when he was transferred, the people could not keep him, so they could only give him an umbrella and keep his boots as a souvenir. I just don't know if it has anything to do with the habits of this steppe people.

After thinking about it, he thought again that this etiquette was a great gift for the nomads of the steppe. The Han people can't do it. However, there are also Han people who did this to the steppe khan, and later that guy was strained. However, it was not because he saluted the steppe khan that he was strained. It's this guy who defects to the enemy.

It's finally over. After the New Year's Day Zhengshuo Dynasty, and after eating a banquet with the courtiers, Li Chen finally returned to the palace and was relieved, great, at least ten months, there is no need to wear this troublesome thing.

After the end of the dynasty every year, the opening of this Zhengshuo dynasty is regarded as the beginning of the New Year. At least that's what Li Chen thinks, and then the harem also sees it this way, every year Li Chen is the master of the house, and he doesn't go down to the court, and there are always some unsatisfactory feelings.

'Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity, bring the red envelope. Several children, the eldest of them led the younger ones, and the younger ones were all dressed in new clothes, and came to greet Li Chen for the New Year and ask for red envelopes. Nowadays, the custom of red envelopes has slowly spread from the court to the people.

Looking at these children, Li Chen smiled, hugged them one by one and kissed them, teasing, not to mention that they are more spoiled daughters on weekdays, and even those sons who are more strict can hardly enjoy the warm care of their fathers, and the family is happy.
