"This sentence is still good," Duguzhen commented.

"Little prince is praising the king of the county" I didn't expect that Taigong Qiu was still an elegant person, and he heard the artistic conception of inviting you to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis.

"Mrs. Qiu is really a bosom friend," Dugu smiled with a smile.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Qiu Taigong proposed.

"Hmm, isn't that right? It's not early, and it's still bothering Uncle Qiu to see if the Queen Mother's guests are still there? Duguzhen still remembers her aunt, the Queen Mother Dugu.

"Also, it's not too late to look at the portrait another day, send someone to investigate one or two first"

The three of them returned to the Liangyi Palace, and Taigong Qiu called a eunuch to find out that Concubine Qian De had left in a huff, so he took Dugu and his son into Yiqiu Palace.

It's a secluded place, with a few elm trees still green, and low holly trees neatly rooted in the walls of the courtyard.

Enter the main hall of the palace, the brazier has been placed in the house, the crystal charcoal is red, and the warmth in the hall is still comfortable.

The Empress Dowager Dugu was sitting on the large Arhat bed, closing her eyes and recuperating.

Although the Queen Mother Dugu has frost-white sideburns, she looks graceful and elegant.

Dugu Xinci looked at his heir, but thought that although the queen mother was his aunt, she looked like her sister, too, although the queen mother was Duguzhen's aunt, she was her father's younger sister, and she was more than ten years older than the king of Dugu County.

Duguzhen bowed her hand and said hello to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother Dugu ignored it and looked at Dugu Xinci.

"You are the heir of the king of Liaoyang County?" The Queen Mother Dugu opened her eyes and looked at Dugu Xinci, and there was no brilliance in her eyes.

"It's the kid, Dugu Xinci, the heir of the prince of Liaoyang County, asks the Empress Dowager Zhen'an Cishun to say goodbye" Dugu Xinci saw it, this is angry, hurry up and kowtow, and come to a bow.

"Isn't the saint Xu Ru only kneeling to the ancestor of heaven and earth?" The Empress Dowager Dugu actually knew the details of today's Hanyuan Palace.

"The queen mother is respectful, a certain heart admires, and she can't help but salute" Dugu Xinci scolded the big mouth in this palace and hurriedly picked out good things to say.

"Your mouth is quite lubricated" Queen Mother Dugu praised, still with no joy on her face.

"The son of evil comes from the wilderness, the etiquette is not careful, don't blame the queen mother" Duguzhen County King also hurried around.

"Your courage is getting bigger and bigger, it's a big deal for the Dugu family to be destroyed?" The Queen Mother Dugu patted the edge of the bed and sneered. "For a wild boy, he didn't care about the ancestral shrine of the Dugu family and no one sacrificed?"

"Since he is already his heir, he should have the same fate and difficulties" Duguzhen is still very stubborn.

"Hmph, I can't control the king of Liaoyang County? You wait, do it yourself," the Queen Mother Dugu is happy and angry.

Dugu father and son bowed their heads speechlessly.

"Who dares to disobey the Queen Mother's decree? The king of Liaoyang County has gone through hardships today, but he is auspicious, and he has regained the grace of the saint, which is a gratifying and congratulatory thing," Qiu Taigong also spoke thoughtfully.

"Hmph, Jiren Tianxiang? Marquis of the Far East, but your title was obtained by bullying the prince? "The Queen Mother Dugu still refuses to forgive.

"The kid's unintentional move is really a last resort, and I hope the queen mother will punish him" Dugu Xinci hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"That's it, an old woman in a certain palace, I just want to live a few days of tranquility, and you have also seen it, go and reply to the decree" The Queen Mother Dugu was happy.

Duguzhen was silent for a moment and had no choice but to leave, "The Queen Mother takes care of her body and retires." ”

The Queen Mother Dugu was speechless and waved her hand to let Dugu father and son go down.

Dugu Xinci had no choice but to give a gift and prepare to leave the palace with the king of the county.

"I heard that the palace of Liaoyang County has been renovated today?" After not walking a few steps, the Queen Mother Dugu suddenly asked.

"Exactly, I haven't returned to Chang'an for a few years, and the houses in the house are a little dilapidated, so I have repaired them again."

"Well, Duke Qiu, find something for the king of the county to bring back, and it's good to make up for it."

"It doesn't cost much, how can I make up for it with the Queen Mother?" Duguzhen hurriedly said.

"Can a certain courtyard still be inhabited?" The Empress Dowager Dugu ignored it and asked.

"It's been rectified, but it's pretty clean" King Dugu didn't know why.

"Well, you wait to go, don't let the saint wait for a long time"

The Empress Dowager Dugu may just say it casually, and Duguzhen will once again give a gift and take the heir out of the Yiqiu Palace.

Mrs. Qiu hurriedly took out the wooden box given by Dugu Xinci and presented it to the Queen Mother Dugu, "The king of Dugu and his heirs have brought a little gift this time."

"That kid's suggestion, right?" The Dugu Empress Dowager hummed.

"It can be regarded as the king of Dugu County has a heart," Qiu Taigong said with a smile.

"Open and see"

Qiu Taigong opened it, and it was a few delicate pastries and four boxes of snow clam paste in white jade bottles.

"This pastry is still exquisite, would you like to taste it?"

"It's angry when you look at it, and you don't have an appetite"

"Eat some pastries after getting angry, but you can make up for it"

"Thou shalt speak, put down a certain and taste it, thou shalt send them away"

Dugu father and son walked out of Yiqiu Gate and were about to go to the Taiji Palace, when Taigong Qiu came out with a package.

"The prince and heir of the county and so on, haven't you taken the things given by the queen mother?"

"Mrs. Lao Qiu sent it personally, how can this be done?" Dugu Xinci hurriedly took the package.

"Okay, the Queen Mother has lost her anger, you don't have to be discouraged," Qiu Taigong said with a smile.

"It's too late to rejoice, how can you be discouraged?" Dugu Xinci also smiled.

"Hmph, how can such a stable person as the king of Liaoyang accept you and other tired boys as heirs?"

"I don't understand," Dugu Xinci said with a casual smile.

"Flamboyant tongue" Qiu Taigong smiled with wrinkles on his face, and asked again, "You can wait quickly, the saint is still waiting in the Lin De Palace."

"Ah, Mrs. Qiu, it's getting late, and the bell and drum of Chengtianmen are about to ring, and you are about to go back to your house to rest."

"Let's go to the Lin De Palace, you can go to Chongrenfang," Duguzhen ordered.

"That's okay, it seems that the saint will stay overnight tonight, and he will go to Gongchuan tomorrow, does the prince have any orders?" Dugu is helpless.

"You're going to Rim River tomorrow? Didn't participate in the apricot garden flower exploration banquet? ”

"What's there to eat there? I'm being grounded."

"Grounded?" Duguzhen pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "You run fast, such a big black cauldron lets someone carry your back?" ”

"If you don't leave, the bones will be swallowed up," Dugu Xinci pouted.

"Okay, you act recklessly, disturb the court, and punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors" Duguzhen really knows the meaning of the song, and the two fathers and sons are making a big fuss about the winter solstice court, which is to do the face of the door.

"Thank you for the punishment," Dugu smiled and grinned.

"I have time to greet the Queen Mother again" Hearing the nonsense of the two fathers and sons, Taigong Qiu was not surprised, and returned to the palace.

The two bowed down to send Taigong Qiu into the palace leisurely, out of the Chengtian Gate, dressed in bright light armor tall and strong without the need for a general to wait, seeing the two come out, smiled and stepped forward

"The king of Liaoyang County and the Marquis of Far East came out, and the sage sent a certain person to pick you up."

Dugu Xinci still knew him at a glance, Li Sanlang's bodyguard Yang Liulang.

"There is General Lao Yang" Duguzhen also knows this person, and tells Dugu Xinci not to be rude, "This is General Yang, the general of the right prison guard, and he is not ready to see the courtesy"

"A certain and the Far East Hou is an old acquaintance, no need to be polite" Yang Siqiao, the general of the right prison guard, was born as a eunuch, but he likes to charge into battle, and he is the general of the right prison guard.

"I've seen General Yang, why didn't Yang Liulang go to Puzhou?" Dugu Xinci laughed, and sent dry and wine to Qinglongfang that day, and the two of them had drunk wine.

"The sage said, don't let that kid slip away, you go and slip over," General Yang Liulang ignored but relayed the sage's will.

"You are waiting for a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people to drink and feast, how can a certain kid go to ruin the fun?" Dugu sighed, it seems that the Chang'an Club of Chongrenfang will not be able to go today.

"The saint has a will, if he doesn't come, he will be tied up" Yang Liulang solemnly faced.

"Yes, Ben Hou hasn't tasted this royal banquet elixir yet, so I'll go and see it today."

"How can you talk to General Yang like that?" Duguzhen scolded his heir.

"Well, isn't he used to talking like that? A certain still needs to thank Dugu Marquis for the magic recipe, these days and nights can sleep peacefully" General Yang Siqiao is also an easy-going person on weekdays, if not familiar people do not know that he is a person who likes to peel the skin and dig out the heart of the enemy, he has to be instructed by Dugu Xinci to make a pot of tea before going to bed, to find out the wonder of the tea ceremony, and to solve the disturbance of nightmares.

The father and son followed General Yang out of Yanxi Gate and saw Qiu Bin napping in the carriage.

The father and son got into the carriage, General Yang rode a horse to lead the way, passed the Danfeng Gate and went straight to the Linde Palace, and the soldiers of the Jinwu Guard did not stop the carriage from moving forward.

The Lin De Hall is located on a high ground in the west of the Taiye Pond of Daming Palace, and is formed by the close connection of four halls before and after.

On the left and right of the main hall there is a square and rectangular platform, on which there are smaller buildings, each with an arc of flying bridges to communicate with the upper floor of the main hall. The whole group of buildings is surrounded by corridors and courtyards. The Lin De Hall is combined with several halls of high and low staggered landing, and the main building is set off by the smaller buildings of the east and west, so that the overall image is more magnificent and rich. His Royal Highness has a two-layer pedestal, and the hall itself is formed by the aggregation of the front, middle and rear three halls, so it is commonly known as the "three halls". The three halls are all nine rooms wide, the front hall is four rooms deep, the middle and the apse are about five rooms deep, except for the pavilion that the nave is two floors, the front and rear halls are all single-storey buildings, the total face is three hundred and fifty steps wide, and the total depth is fifty-five steps. There are two square pavilions on the left and right of the nave, and there are two floors on the left and right of the apse in the north of the pavilion, called Yuyi Building, the adjacent building, all are built on the brick platform above three zhang high. From the building to the south, there is an overhead flying tower leading to the second pavilion, and from the second pavilion to the inside, each flying tower leads to the upper floor of the nave, and together form a group of huge building complexes.

During the feast of the Lin De Palace, three thousand people can sit in front of the hall and under the corridor, and perform a hundred operas, and you can also play polo in front of the hall.

There is a corridor on the east and west sides of the front hall of the Lin De Palace, and the corner moment folds southward, and there is the Huiqing Pavilion in the east corridor. At this moment, there are still several ministers of Yan and Tang who are feasting and drinking.

Huiqing Pavilion is also on a high platform, at this moment there is a screen around it, there is a warm stove, and it is still warm like spring in the early winter.

"This son must have pushed back, right?" The saint laughed when he saw Dugu's father and son enter.

"Far Eastern Hou Shang is still worried about going to Chongrenfang to celebrate the banquet," General Yang Siqiao said with a smile.

"This imperial banquet is not as good as the coarse food in the workshop?" The saint stared, but smiled.

"It's just that I'm a little hungry," Dugu Xinci explained, busy giving salutes to the princes and ministers around him.

The saints who stayed in the Huiqing Pavilion were the favorites of the saints, the former prime minister Liang Guogong Yao Chong, the Jingzhao Mansion Yin Mengwenli, the servant Song Jing, the Ziwei Ling Zhang Shuo, the criminal department Shangshu Lu Xiangxian, the Ministry of Rites Lang Han Xiu, and the rest of the Dugu County King who was born was introduced as Qi Wang Yanfan, Xue Wang Yanye, and Feng Yuanyi, the general manager of the Qi State Gongli Jingmen, was also impressively listed, and this person was actually the general of the left prison guard.

"Come on, Far East Hou, a certain Luoyang Zhang said, your calligraphy is superb, a certain is not as good, come to drink first, a while, a certain want to ask for advice or two" Ziwei Ling Zhang said that today is quite friendly to Dugu's father and son, seeing Dugu's heart is kind, he does not get up, and raises a glass to invite.

Dugu Xinci wanted to taste the fragrant suckling pig on the table first, but when he saw a group of middle-aged and elderly ministers of the Yan and Tang Dynasties around him, he had no choice but to pick up a cup of dread, fill it with wine, start with the saint, toast in a circle, and even say words of congratulations.

After more than ten cups in a row, even Song Jing, the black-faced waiter, smiled at Dugu Xinci's move.

"Okay, let's eat vegetables first and press the belly," Dugu County King greeted distressedly.

So Dugu Xinci sat next to an empty desk with a stomach, picked up a pot of roast chicken and chewed it, the roast chicken should be barbecued, but there was no burnt smell, it was chopped into the size of a knuckle, mixed with coriander and green onion sesame oil, smelling fragrant.

"How does it taste? This dish is your masterpiece, after returning to the palace, he instructed the imperial kitchen to try to make it many times before it succeeded, "the sage saw that his mouth was full of oil, and he smiled, "Your name is called flower chicken, too vulgar, and a certain name is spiced reed chicken"

"It's better to call it five-spice and call it flower chicken," Dugu muttered, full of chicken.

The saint did not hear it clearly, so he asked, "Do you think this name is inappropriate?" ”

"The name given by the saint is a blessing for this chicken, how can it be inappropriate?" Dugu Xinci hurriedly swallowed and took a sip of wine.

"Didn't you say that just now?" Yao Chong still remembered the treatment of being rejected in the Hanyuan Palace.

"Well, do you mean that the name of the saint is really level" Dugu Xinci hurriedly changed his words.

"Hmph, you are definitely not like that, the spiced reed chicken is also ordinary, you are the first list of Tanhualang, and now you want a good name" The saint is dissatisfied.

"Well, I think that the spiced reed flower chicken dish is as its name suggests, and it is a good name" Dugu Xinci pushed.

"No, the sage has an order, and the Hou of the Far East must take another one" Yao Chong continued to oppose.

Dugu Xinci smiled and turned his head to look at Liang Guogong Yao Chong, Yao Chong felt a little cold in his back, this son is not like he was once the prime minister, and his belly can't support the boat.

"Well, I thought of a dish name, it's better to call it Jiangshan Unification Mixed Yuan Luhua Chicken" Dugu Xinci thought about it, and continued to attack the full pot of called Huaji after saying it.

"The whole country is mixed with the Yuan Luhua chicken, and it is said that this roast chicken is wrapped in soil and fired, but it is also appropriate, so it is called this name" The sage groaned with his beard.

It's so troublesome to eat a roast chicken, and Dugu is kind and slanderous.

"A certain person is discussing the trial recruitment system in Puzhou, listening to the initiative of the sage Yun Nairu, I don't know if the Hou of the Far East has a case?" Although it was a banquet, Song Jing still did not forget his official business.

"A certain yellow-mouthed child, how can he ignore this militaristic plan?" Dugu Xinci hurriedly cleared up.

"This strategy is to exchange twenty jars of dry and wine, Far Eastern Hou, you have to say a detailed today" The sage continued to expose the appearance of Dugu's compassion and tenderness.

Dugu Xinci hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth, got up and arched his hand, "This is the boy's nonsense, how can there be a detailed case?" ”

"Hmph, if you don't make it clear today, you won't be able to get out of this Daming Palace" The saint snorted coldly and threatened.

"Yes, it's almost dusk at this moment, the street drums have sounded, and someone needs to go home."

"A certain has been ordered by Ru Li to compete with the guest of the door, and is not subject to the street ban," Feng Yuanyi, the general manager of Lijing Gate, said coldly.

Everyone was also stunned, when did this son also collude with Lijingmen?

"Today, the secretaries are resting here, and on the winter solstice, a certain and other celebrity" saints also stay guests.

"The Hou of the Far East is not allowed to hide, and he has to deal with the Hou of the Far East before going to Puzhou," Lu Xiangxianshangshu, who was about to go to Puzhou to assassinate the history, also smiled.

"Uh," Dugu Xinci looked at the sky, the autumn sun has entered the West Mountain, the entire Daming Palace is in the afterglow of the twilight, looking from the high platform of the Huiqing Pavilion, countless palaces are like creeping tigers in the mountains and forests, which is terrifying.

Dugu Xinci looked at the middle-aged and elderly ministers around him, and knew that if he couldn't take out anything on this winter night in the first year of Kaiyuan, he was afraid that he would not easily pass the test.

"The conscription system began with Wu Qi and Wei Wushu. Wei Kao selected a military pawn, and his method was: the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stone powers, the fifty arrows on his back, the three-day rations, the helmet on his head, the sword of Tigo, and the half-day run of a hundred miles before he was selected. After qualifying, they are exempted from servitude, and their fields and houses are preferred. ”

Dugu thought for a moment and said.

"Before Wei Wu's death, the military system was also a county conscription system, and the countrymen were conscripted during the war, with the soldiers as the first, and the three seasons of agriculture and one season of martial arts, in case of war, they must obey the dispatch at any time, serve as an apprentice, and return to the field after the war."

"The two systems should be born from time to time, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and blessings and disasters are also in the same thought."

"If you want to be stable, you will be rich, and if you want to be strong, you will be raised. The government will be weak, and the recruitment will be chaotic. ”

Dugu Xinci put down the food bowl and said solemnly.

Success is given to the Lin De Palace, and the ape superfalcon sweeps the wide stadium. The three thousand palace maids looked sideways,

Side by side to smash the double Mingju.
