Chapter 8: The Hidden Sword Hides the Edge

"The best Yunnan large-leaf tea, and it is produced in Yincheng, its taste is sweet and mellow, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, this tea is really good." Li Yu gently put down the teacup, and there was a yearning in his tone.

He still knows a little about the modern tea-making process, and when he had nothing to do with tea in his previous life, Li Yu also liked to have a pot.

But the tea of the Southern Tang Dynasty actually has such a tea-making process, and the taste is mellow and delicious, it is simply leisurely, as soon as the tea is entered, he knows that this tea is definitely not comparable to the modern tea-making process.

Seeing Li Yu say this, Zhou Zong had a smile on his face, of course he knew that His Royal Highness was a master of tea tasting, and he remembered that when he was a child, he had come to his mansion to taste tea, and he was very excited to drink this tea today, and he was not unusual.

When the others saw Li Yu like this, they couldn't help but show yearning on their faces.

"Everyone, please, I said don't be restrained, I'm just like you now, I'm a guest of Lord Zhou, everyone, feel free, don't look at me." Li Yu waved his hand lightly and let everyone drink tea.

Xu Jue and the others glanced at each other, each picked up a teacup, took a sip, and under one sip, everyone's eyes flashed with surprise and amazement.

These people all have status in the Southern Tang Dynasty, although they are not as good as Zhou Zong, but they are also important nobles in the court, and of course they will not lack good tea, so they also have a lot of skills for tea tasting.

After taking a sip at this moment, I felt that what Li Yu said just now was not fabricated, and I couldn't help but be amazed.

"Although these teas are good and fragrant, the color is not very refreshing, which is a fly in the ointment." At this moment, an official in his fifties in the seat suddenly spoke, looking at his clothes, he should be a figure at the level of the imperial historian in the court.

Imperial Shi Dafu, this official position was seen in the Qin Dynasty as early as the Qin Dynasty, and he was the chief of national supervision and law enforcement, and his duties were not small, and his power was second only to the prime minister, ranking among the three dukes.

Li Yu could also see some of the size of his official position from the other party's seat, but he couldn't tell where his official position was, and because of this, his eyes fell on Zhou Zong on the side.

Zhou Zong couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Yu's eyes, "This is Lord Chu Qingze, the imperial historian of the current dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Sixth has not met with the officials of the court and China for a long time, so he should not know him." ”

Zhou Zong's words relieved Li Yu, he smiled slightly, and nodded slightly to Chu Qingze, "It turned out to be Lord Chu, it's really disrespectful, about the color of tea, in fact, there is nothing wrong, in terms of new tea, the color is strong, and there is no big problem, but maybe the next person was in a hurry when making tea, and the first tea was not poured out and the second dish was cooked." ”

Hearing Li Yu's words, Chu Qingze found a reason, tapped the lid of the teacup with his index finger, and said with an indifferent smile, "Sixth Highness, with your research on the tea ceremony, such a simple thing, it is a bit incredible." ”

There was disdain and contempt in his words, of course Li Yu could hear it, but at this moment, Li Yu was no longer the Sixth Highness who didn't ask about the world before.

Li Yu raised his head slightly, his face was still full of bright smiles, picked up the teacup, took another sip, and then put it down, and said slowly, "Master Chu, you don't know anything about it, one way of tea, pay attention to intentions, this is the same as your service to the imperial court. ”

After saying this, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and seeing that people didn't say anything, he coughed lightly and continued, "Your lords are like tea, and the world is like a pot. ”

Li Yu said that the person in front of him was a metaphor for tea, but he also metaphorized tea as a metaphor for the current court, although he did not say what the government was, but his words made it light to point out that each individual in the court has his own selfish intentions, and he may not have his own true temperament as at the beginning.

Chu Qingze didn't want to, the Sixth Highness in front of him, his words were sharp, and he wrote down lightly to resolve his question, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Xu Jue took over the conversation at the moment, he held the teacup, and said with a smile, "What His Royal Highness Sixth said is good, but the tea ceremony must also be decent, and its rules must not be messed up, if the rules of the tea ceremony are messed up, then it will be difficult to taste the true meaning of tea, I don't know what I said, does His Royal Highness the Sixth agree?" ”

Xu Yu's words clearly meant something else, of course Li Yu understood, his eyebrows rose slightly, beckoned the servant to continue serving tea, and said with a smile, "What Lord Xu said is also reasonable, it is indeed difficult to make a circle without rules, but the rules are set by people, since Pangu opened the sky, the rules are set by people themselves, regardless of the current situation, just talk about the first generation of Qin, what about the first emperor?" Isn't he alone and dictating the world? The rules are set, and naturally there is a true taste, and as long as it is good, it is better than the original rules, and the taste of tea is good, so why can't it be changed, and why should it be legal? ”

Li Yu said eloquently, his words were shocking, people can probably understand his words, and people also have another interpretation in their hearts.

If you don't stick to the rules, does it mean that the six princes in front of you, the actual second prince, really plan to make a difference? Could it be that those previous acts were all cover-ups?

Regarding this point, no one could figure it out, let alone use what he just said as evidence, but they also had a certain feeling, the Sixth Highness in front of them seemed to have changed into another person, and even those who had never seen Li Yu had a strange feeling in their hearts, which was completely different from the rumored Li Yu.

The scene was a little cold for a while, but Zhou Zong stood up at this moment, clapped his hands twice, and said to everyone, "Everyone, today's tea party is over, I have prepared a good tea for everyone, one pound per person, you take it back to the house to taste it slowly, if you feel that you haven't drunk enough, you might as well tell the old man, I will send someone to the house." ”

Zhou Zong said this, which is equivalent to issuing an order to expel guests, and a short small gathering will end here, and people will naturally not stop again, after all, the Sixth Highness is here, and just now they also experienced a trace of unusual aura, and at this moment, they also have their own plans.

got up to leave, everyone said goodbye to His Royal Highness Six, and even exchanged a few words with Zhou Zong before leaving the Zhou Mansion. However, the matter of the Sixth Highness in the Zhou Sect's mansion also spread the word.
