Emperor Gaozong's head wind was difficult to treat, and Empress Wu thought that it was because Luoyang was too hot, so he returned to the Daming Palace in Chang'an.

Daming Palace was originally built by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin for Emperor Gaozu, and later after the death of Emperor Gaozu, the construction was stopped. Until Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, built and expanded again, now in Chang'an, Emperor Gaozong and hundreds of officials are in the Daming Palace to deal with the government, as for the original Taiji Palace because of the palace room is old and damp and gradually abandoned, the palace only sent some eunuchs and official slaves to clean on time.

The Daming Palace, which is located on the Longshou Plain, shows the majestic style of the Tang Dynasty in terms of scale and architectural style, standing on the Longshou Plain, looking from the Hanyuan Palace, the entire Tang Chang'an City is in full view, highlighting the momentum of the emperor dominating the world.

After Wu Qing got up in the morning, he went to see his master Li Ji, but he didn't expect that people would have gone to the court a long time ago, and Wu Qing didn't have a chance to go to Daming Palace to pay respects, so he had to return to the neighboring Fangju. It was not long before a servant brought breakfast, but a few plates of pickles, three bowls of gruel, and a plate of bread. For Hu cakes, this is a well-known food in the entire Tang Dynasty. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Regions countries that spread to the Central Plains along the Silk Road have a wide variety of diets, the most famous of which is this Hu cake.

Speaking of Datang diet, Wuqing had to sigh, Datang was very prosperous, and Wenzhi and martial arts had reached their peak. The diet has also reached an unprecedented height, and it has a high attainment in the skills of boiling, boiling, burning, roasting, branding, scalding, frying, steaming, preserving, pickling, etc., the only regret is that stir-fried food has not been popularized and has not yet developed. Stir-fried dishes did not appear on a large scale until the Song Dynasty. The main reason for this is that the oil refining technology is backward, although agriculture is attached importance during this period, the output is really low, and food is a problem, how can it be possible to grow oil crops on a large scale.

Datang, if you want to be stronger, there are still a lot of things that need to be changed.

However, this seems to be another opportunity for Wuqing to make a fortune, as long as he gets the oil refining technology up, and then copies a few ** silk vegetables, it is not difficult to change the eating habits of the Tang Dynasty officials and nobles, which will be a great change in the catering industry.

One morning, Wu Qing was thinking about things in this neighborhood, and it was too boring, so he continued to write his "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". There's no way, if you want to become a rich man, if you want to soak in high-quality Tang girls, you have to start from all aspects, especially this kind of vulgar novels and the like, which is the favorite thing of civilians.

As for those scholars, Wu Qing didn't take it into account at all, it was really those masters who represented the trend of this era and led the trend of Tang culture. Today's poetry has become the mainstream of the literary world. In a way, this is a sad thing. If this vulgar literature is also sorted out by his own hands, then if it is to be passed on to future generations, should his title be added to a "great writer"!

Emperor Taizong once said that the people are like water, they can carry boats and capsize boats, but they never cared that the people also had cultural needs.

The cultural needs of the common people, he is clear, and it is foreseeable that he will be attacked and suppressed by many literati in the future, but he has no hesitation, and he is not afraid of any laughter and scolding for the sake of the "great XX".

At lunchtime, Li Ji returned to the mansion, and when he went to the court, Li Ji suddenly felt unwell, and Emperor Gaozong let him go back to the mansion to rest.

The seventy-five-year-old Li Ji is now respected by Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu, so after listening to the report of Wen Pingchao, he let him go back to his house to recuperate. When Li Ji returned to the mansion, he summoned Wu Qing.

Wu Qing walked into Li Ji's study, bowed, and said, "Is there a new story to be told when the master calls the apprentice today?" ”

Li Ji said with a smile: "There is no new story, but the saint and the queen mother can't help but be surprised when they hear that I have accepted an apprentice." Said to see you, you have to be ready, in a few days it will be the Midyear Festival, the Holy One asked each temple to hold the Bon Festival, there will be a puja, I just happened to take you with me, and by the way, let the Holy Lord meet. ”

Wu Qing's eyes lit up, this year, it is a very glorious thing to see the emperor, that glory is the ancestor, not to mention being named by the emperor.

"I know."

Li Ji looked at this person's little apprentice and said with a smile: "You don't seem to be very happy?" ”

Wu Qing was taken aback, disrespectful to the emperor, it was a great rebellion, and he would also be disliked by the scholars, so he hurriedly said: "Master, the apprentice thinks that it is a very glorious thing to be able to see the emperor, and the apprentice thinks that he should put this kind of reverence in his heart, so that he can be pampered and not surprised, so that it is a way to be a general." ”

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then stood up, walked to Wu Qing, stared at Wu Qing's eyes carefully, his eyes were facing each other, Wu Qing did not avoid it at all, at this time he was going to dodge, didn't that mean that he was lying?

After a long time, Li Ji laughed and said: "The apprentice is really a very person, a prodigy, and I will not lose anything in this life." ”

After that, Li Ji walked to the bookshelf, took down a scroll from it, and handed it to Wu Qingdao: "This is what the old man has learned all his life, in the past few years, he has recorded several volumes for the teacher, this is one of them, after reading it, I will change the next volume, and in the future, you will study it all your life and become the talent of my Tang Dynasty, and it will not be in vain for the old man to teach you." ”

Wu Qing was extremely excited, and immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, Master's teachings, the disciples will never dare to forget." ”

"By the way, the trial of the three divisions has come out, there is the testimony of Cao Di Renjie of the state law, and that Zhang Yuan also pleaded guilty to the law, Zhang Yuan was beheaded by the Autumn Queen, and the Zhang family of Wenshui was exiled to Lingnan, and now you are really innocent." Li Ji said.

Wu Qing has always been worried about this matter, for fear that some corrupt officials and corrupt officials will smear him, and it seems that he has not reached the ears of the hundred officials and the emperor in the capital, otherwise he will at least have to squat in the bureau.

In this way, after the master and apprentice chatted for a while, when Li Ji was about to rest, Wu Qing returned to the neighboring house with Li Ji's "March Strategy". Although I don't know much about military affairs, the Internet and media that are so developed in later generations still have an understanding of ancient wars, modern wars and modern wars. From the era of cold weapons to the age of hot weapons to the age of high-tech weapons, the use of strategy has gradually weakened. But in ancient times, it was different, in the era of cold weapons, it was not only the fighting ability and will of the soldiers, but also the strategy of the main general. There are too many strategists such as Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Han Xin, Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, etc.

With reverence, Wu Qing opened the scroll and read it word by word.

"Husband and soldier, treacherous. The way to use soldiers lies in relying on each other."

At dinner, Li Ji asked Wu Qing to dine together, and Wu Qing had no choice but to put down the brush and came to the dining hall, where he saw that Li Ji and his family were all there. has sons ranging from the youngest five or six years old to fifty years old, and it seems that Li Jixiong is unabated; There are grandchildren ranging from babies to 30 years old, and the eldest grandson, Li Jingye, is 30 years old; has a great-grandson, the eldest is also ten years old, it can be said that four generations are in the same house, full of happiness.

Li Ji called Wu Qing to sit down beside him and said, "These are my children and grandchildren, and today can be regarded as a reception banquet for your teacher, even if you eat well, you can drink if you want." ”

Wu Qing hurriedly thanked: "The apprentice has thanked the master, and the apprentice is very content to be so loved by the master." ”

"Alright, let's drink some buttermilk." Li Ji scooped a scoop of buttermilk for Wu Qing and added it to the wine bottle.

Wu Qing is grateful, as for the buttermilk, Wu Qing knows it, and this name runs through the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasty nobles' banquets. Looking at the white juice, Wu Qing thought it was milk, but after drinking it, he realized that there was a sour taste and a smell of wine, this thing was really good.

Unconsciously, Wu Qing drank three cups of the entire banquet. Li Ji was talking about the Tang Dynasty while adding buttermilk to Wu Qing. After Wu Qing drank three cups, Li Ji was surprised, how could this kid drink so much, such a child is generally about the same as one scoop, but he didn't expect this kid to drink three scoops, and he looked like no one else.

Wu Qing burped and said, "Master, the apprentice is a little dizzy, so I'll leave first." ”

Li Ji nodded in agreement, looked at Wu Qing, who was walking a little unsteadily, and said with a smile: "This kid still has self-knowledge." ”

And Li Jingye, who was at the bottom, looked at Wu Qing's back, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and scolded in a low voice, "What is this, it can be so favored by grandpa, it's just a child, don't think I don't know." ”

The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty have a habit of raising prostitutes, from top to bottom, all of which are jaw-dropping. Wu Qing looked so beautiful that he couldn't help but let Li Jingye not think about it.
