Niu Jinda said that the full moon gift to Tianwu was a whale, Xu Yang thought he was joking, but when he saw a whale corpse pulled by more than a dozen ox carts outside the village, Xu Yang almost didn't jump to his feet. ＊

Niu Jinda really sent a whale, or a juvenile fin whale, pulled all the way by water from Quanzhou.

Xu Yang still clearly remembers that when he was in Quanzhou, those people were in awe of whales, and many people also rumored that this kind of thing was the Sea Dragon King, and if he touched it, he would suffer a catastrophe.

But it's only been a short year, and the self-confidence of the Tang people finally overcame the fear of the unknown, and began to hunt whales, a sea creature, and the contradiction between man and nature, after people have more power, will eventually become more and more acute, and it is indeed inevitable.

Niu Jinda looked at the people in the village with satisfaction and amazed at the whale around this whale, his face showed pride, and he turned his head to Xu Yang on the side and said, "Boy, how is it, are you satisfied with the gift that the old man gave you?" ”

Xu Yang smiled bitterly, "I said Uncle Niu, why do you have to work hard to transport this thing from so far away, it's good that it's winter in Guanzhong, and the whale meat won't rot, if it is sent in summer, it will stink all the way." ”

When Niu Jinda heard this, he actually laughed, "How can the old man be so stupid, these giant whales have been salted all over their bodies, they don't rot or die, where can they still stink." ”

Xu Yang is not curious about whales, after all, he has seen a lot in the animal world in later generations, but Liu Mengli and Jin Shengman are different, although their hometowns are by the sea, they have never seen whales caught on land. So I was quite curious about the giant whale sent by Niu Jinda.

Liu Mengli was even more supported by his subordinates. Holding a small celestial object. Excitedly touched the whale's head. The celestial thing was too young, and the eyes of the water spirit blinked curiously, and he didn't know what the behemoth in front of him was.

"Uncle Niu, how could you think of bringing something like a whale back to Chang'an this time?" Xu Yang thought about it for a while, and felt that Yi Niu Jinda's character would definitely not waste manpower and material resources to transport this kind of thing in vain, so he brought this thing back for another reason.

"Haha. I really can't hide anything from you. Niu Jinda touched his head heartily, "Actually, this order to transport the giant whale is still the will of His Majesty." ”

"Majesty?" Xu Yang was also a little confused.

"Well, when his majesty was flipping through the "Tao Te Ching", he stumbled upon an ancient book that recorded that "there is a fish in the north of the underworld, and its name is Kun", so he had a great interest in this kun, and gave the old man a book to repair, and named him to find a kun overseas, and the old man and the people of the shogunate discussed for a long time, and finally felt. This whale looked very similar to Kun, so he returned to his majesty. The whale is the kun in the ancient books. ”

Xu Yang was a little stupid, and said in a daze: "So Your Majesty asked you to catch this Kun back?!" ”

Niu Jinda laughed again and said: "That's right, the old man was ordered to catch Kun, in Quanzhou, the various coasts of the Ryukyus to catch this whale, a total of dozens of killed, one of the largest, weighing 10,000 catties, was transported back by the main ship of the "Expedition", and now it is stopping at the Taicang wharf, ready to be transported to Chang'an tomorrow, or more than a dozen whales, the size is relatively small, so I came to give it to a few friends in Chang'an. ”

Xu Yang was still a little confused, Li Er's curiosity, the poor whale was named Kun, and was caught and sent to Chang'an......

Li Er didn't know that Xu Yangzai slandered him, he was very busy recently, he was busy with the sacrifice of the Taimiao, and took the civil and military officials to plough the fields in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, and the new season of potatoes was about to go to the ground, not only he was excited, but the people of the four counties around Chang'an were cheering, because after two seasons of harvest, the output of potatoes was enough to be fully planted in Chang'an counties.

There have been no major events in the DPRK and China recently, and several other generals of the expedition to Tuguhun such as Li Jing, Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chigong returned victoriously, and after several days of celebration, they all returned to calm.

The only thing that counts as a wave is the old minister Pei Lone, Pei Lone, originally born in Hedong Pei's western dependents, was the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and was Li Yuan's original worship brother, and later participated in the planning of Taiyuan to raise troops and use Jinyang Palace materials as military use. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Lin served as a servant of Shangshu, named the Duke of Wei, and once conquested Song Jingang, although he was defeated and returned, he was still deeply favored.

Originally, he was a first-class important minister in the court and ranked as the prime minister, Xu Yang had also had a few meals with him at the beginning, and his image of this old man who liked to talk about it was also very profound.

However, the inertia of history is still very strong, Pei Lin this time is not because he listened to the demon's remarks, but just wrote to persuade Li Er not to encourage businessmen so much, in the Tang Dynasty formed a trend of valuing business and light farmers, the tone is extremely harsh, quite a kind of relying on the old and selling the old, Li Er was furious, degraded him to Taihu Lake, such a high position in the court, no one dared to surpass his big man, after losing Li Er's favor and power, he felt what it means to be a king to die, and the minister has to die of desolation.

Before going on the road, I heard that he went to Daxing Palace once, and talked with Li Yuan, who was also claustrophobic in the lonely hall, all night, it is said that the crying in the hall cried all night, but in this world, there are people who are happy and some are sad, no one cares about the feelings of such an old man who has lost power, and he did not show too much sympathy for his tragic experience, after all, Pei Lin did not take everyone in his eyes because of his old qualifications and great credit, and now he is down, Naturally, no one would sympathize with him.

People go tea cool, in China, this word can be said to have existed since ancient times, the case of Sikong Pei Lin is a typical illustration of this word, however, there is another person in the court, although he is also gone, but there is no meaning of tea cool, he is Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui, this year in history, he suffered from a serious illness, in the era of such a low level of medical care in the Tang Dynasty, he really did not rescue him, a life, after he died, Li Er couldn't cry himself, announced the abolition of the dynasty for three days, posthumously named Sikong, Cai Guogong, "Cheng Gong", was listed in Lingyan Pavilion by Li Shimin.

But Xu Yang, who crossed through the air, intervened and used penicillin in later generations to save his life, which also completely disrupted the course of history.

Now Du Ruhui is no longer in the court, his body can no longer bear the high load of dealing with the government, after asking Li Er to resign, he was specially named Shangshu Zuo Taiwei Shi, you don't need to participate in the court, you don't need to start playing, you only need to come out to discuss when the empire is facing heavy affairs.

This is also the envy of Du Ruhan's old friend Fang Xuanling, the two of them can be said to be Li Er's left shoulder and right arm, since they entered the prince's mansion together when they were young, the two have been giving advice to Li Er, and finally laid the foundation of his imperial hegemony, so Li Er's dependence and friendship with these two is also higher than that of many generals, and finally said "I am the world, and Fang Mou Du Duan accounts for half." "That's the kind of thing you say.

Du Ruhui quit and went to the academy to become a gentleman who taught calligraphy, and his small life was extremely easy, but the government still needed someone to deal with it, and the position of the old Du Shibu Shangshu still needed to be replaced, and at this time, Wei Zheng, who had been by Li Er's side, came out.

I have to say that the appearance of Xu Yang still has a great impact on the entire Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng in history is a madman of persuasion, one every day, every day to advise, but after talking to Xu Yang once, this guy actually changed his character, no longer advised, changed out of the book, one after another "Advice Book" was presented to Li Er's desk, and many of the disadvantages of the needle were also adopted by Li Eryi, so that later generations talked about Huanghuang's more than 1 million words of "Wei Hui Advice" was included and circulated as a hand-me-down.

There are so many things in the temple, but in the people and rivers and lakes, the Tang Dynasty is undergoing tremendous changes all the time. For example, it has been widely rumored recently that Kunpeng in the sea will be transported into Chang'an City tomorrow...... (To be continued......) R527
