At this time, Yuangai Suwen thought of a very strange thing.

Ten years ago, it was the first year of Tang Wude. It was also the first year of King Rongliu of Goguryeo. In other words, in the 838th year of the Chinese First Emperor calendar, the Great Sui Dynasty was defeated by the Great Goguryeo. The founding of the Tang Dynasty was also the year that the king of Goguryeo was replaced by the king of Rongliu.

Since the beginning of this year, Datang has become more and more powerful.

From this year onwards, the Great Goguryeo became weaker and weaker.

Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't help but use the First Emperor's calendar, but he really used this way to record historical events very well. The First Emperor's Calendar is like a standard, a very strict ruler, marking the time of each dynasty in history on the age of the First Emperor's Calendar, without having to calculate every time, how many years of a certain king, and then how many years have passed for a certain king, and then add up how many years have passed.

Datang and Da Goguryeo, this one has become stronger, and the other has become weaker.

The fundamental reason is that the Tang Dynasty has a powerful emperor, a powerful military general, and a world-famous His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

On the other hand, in the Great Goguryeo, King Yeongliu did not convince the entire Goguryeo nobility of the prestige.

He couldn't even master the whole of Goguryeo.

Just in the face of the fall of Jian'an and Liaocheng, this incompetent king didn't come up with a way to deal with it for half a month, but Gai Suwen was struggling to fight against the strange poison on his body for half a month.

Standing in Chang'an City, Yuangai Suwen had a strong feeling in his heart that Great Goguryeo was weak because the king was too weak!

Li Yuanxing was originally going to enter the palace, but when he was at the Vermilion Bird Gate, Gonggong Gao came to convey Li Er's will. Li Er means. Since you, Li Yuanxing, are holding a banquet in the Tiance General's Mansion, then you don't have to come over in person and send an invitation, your brother will naturally go over, you can wait in the Tiance General's Mansion.

Cui Yingying needs to personally invite Empress Changsun, this is etiquette.

Li Yuanxing returned to the Tiance General's Mansion first, and there were people greeted by Wei Zheng.

Not to mention that someone came here in advance to inform him that His Royal Highness King Qin was going to hold a banquet, it was Li Yuanxing's whim that he wanted to hold a banquet. Then it can be completely within an hour. Let the Tiance General's Mansion hold a banquet that is not small.

The Tiance General's Mansion is the original Qin Wangzhuang.

Li Yuanxing entered the Tiance General's Mansion and sat in his study, and Wei Zheng just came over to greet him according to the rules. Then I went to the banquet. I didn't say anything about it.

"Spread the golden man!" Li Yuanxing sat in a soft chair. I didn't read a book, I didn't prepare tea, I just sat quietly.

Soon. Jin Manqing arrived, and Yuan Chun also came in with him.

"Wronged?" Li Yuanxing asked very calmly.

Jin Manqing bowed slightly: "In the past few days, I have thought it through." I was a little scared that day, but it wasn't a grievance. If I were in Goguryeo at this time, I am afraid that it would not be such a trivial matter as being frightened. When I was in Goguryeo, I was very careful every day, afraid that I would go on a business trip and be punished. ”

Li Yuanxing nodded slightly, signaling that Jin Manqing could sit and speak.

In front of Li Yuanxing, an ordinary civilian did not have a seat, but only an extra cushion on the couch.

For Jin Manqing, this is already a great honor.

"When I was in Liaodong, I was scared and didn't know what I was going to encounter. When I first arrived in Yaozhou, I was even more scared, because there were countless slaves there, perhaps a huge slave camp. But when I really started working, I wasn't afraid. ”

"Don't rush, speak slowly!" Li Yuanxing was very interested in hearing Jin Manqing's true thoughts.

Li Lanshan and Wu Cao both agree on a theory, although the word nation appeared very early. However, the emergence of national consciousness was not too early, and in the land of the Central Plains, when there was really a strong national consciousness, it should be in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

Li Lanshan believes that the tragedy of the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty is the beginning of national consciousness.

And Yue Wumu's Manjianghong is a very strong awakening of national consciousness, and it is also a kind of promotion.

In the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Han nationality in the Central Plains or the ethnic minorities in different countries, the real national consciousness was not strong, otherwise there would not be many generals of different races in the Tang Dynasty.

Jin Manqing saluted again and continued: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qin, when you first worked, you were still a little unaccustomed to it. But after only three or five days, not only me, but also many female medicine pickers in our camp slowly got used to that kind of life, and even liked the new life. ”

Li Yuanxing didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"No one will be bullied, no one will be beaten. And as long as you do more, there will be a reward, and you can also eat better. When I was in my hometown, I worked very hard to do more work than here, and I may not be able to eat enough, so the new life makes people feel happy. ”

It's such a simple request to be able to eat enough.

Outside the study, Li Er had already arrived, he came earlier than Empress Changsun, and he wanted to talk to Li Yuanxing first.

Hearing Li Yuanxing questioning the Goguryeo doctor in the study, Li Er signaled not to report, and he came to the window and stood in the place where Li Yuanxing could see him.

Li Yuanxing glanced at Yuan Chun, and Yuan Chun hurriedly welcomed Li Er in from the back door of the study.

Li Er didn't go to the antechamber of the study, but just stood down in the library of Li Yuanxing's study, and asked Yuanchun to secretly tell Li Yuanxing that he wanted to hear it, but he didn't want the Goguryeo medicine girl to see him.

Jin Manqing continued: "The first time I was rewarded, I discovered an undocumented medicinal herb that has a common medicinal herb, but it has different ways of concoction. I had the audacity to put my idea up at the time of delivery, and I was rewarded with enough meat for half a month, and a fine linen. ”

When she said this, Jin Manqing had a happy smile on her face.

"Although I am a slave, I am much better off than my hometown."

Hearing these words, there was a sense of pride on Li Er's face.

Jin Manqing raised his sleeves: "This is Yunjin, when I first got it, I thought it was a gift. Later, I slowly understood that this was earned by my hands! ”

It is not a gift that is earned by the hands!

When he heard this, Yuan Chun, who was sitting next to Li Yuanxing, had a very obvious reaction, Yuan Chunxin said Jin Manqing, you don't even know gratitude, don't you know that everything you have is a gift from His Royal Highness King Qin?

But Li Yuanxing quietly pressed Yuan Chun's hand.

Li Er, who saw this scene in the dark, nodded slightly.

When he heard Jin Manqing's words, Li Er was also a little unhappy, but looking at Li Yuanxing's calm expression, Li Er secretly praised Li Yuanxing's kung fu in cultivating qi.

Jin Manqing kept her head down, with a very happy smile on her face.

She didn't see Yuan Chun's movements, otherwise she would have felt scared.

"This is the first time I have entered Chang'an City, and I have heard of Chang'an City since I was a child. In my heart, Chang'an City is a very great city, and it has the most beautiful haode. When I saw Chang'an in person, my heart was intoxicated. When I didn't understand anything, and I was curious about everything and entered the East Market of Chang'an City, I really wanted to empty this place. ”

Hearing Jin Manqing talk about Chang'an City again, he didn't say anything about the topic just now, and Li Er even had some expectations in his heart.

Looking forward to Jin Manqing talking about the topic that he earned with his hands just now.

Jin Manqing changed his words:

"It was only when I was in the East Market that I really understood. It wasn't a gift that I got in Yaozhou, it was really my hands that broke apart. ”

If I really brought up this topic again, it seemed that there was something in the words.

"Any treasure, no matter how valuable, has a price. Just as the set of Yunjin clothes on my body is the envy of the royal daughters of Goguryeo, it is still possible to buy it for four times in Chang'an, so if this is a gift, I think it is a great disrespect for His Royal Highness the Venerable King Qin. ”

"What is the most precious thing?" Li Yuanxing asked.

In fact, Li Yuanxing already knew the answer, but he wanted Jin Manqing to say it in person and tell Li Er.

"It's an opportunity, Your Majesty, Your Grace is an opportunity. A chance to allow oneself to live a prosperous life and be free with one's own hands and with one's own efforts is an impossible gift! ”

Jin Manqing said this and stood up. He bowed down with Goguryeo etiquette.

Li Yuanxing accepted this gift.

Li Er pressed one hand to his chest, and he had an indescribable sense of excitement. This feeling was what he had when he led his troops to capture Chang'an.

After Jin Manqing's gift, Li Yuanxing said: "The gift of this king is a dream!" ”

"I don't understand!" Jin Manqing doesn't understand, don't say he doesn't understand. Even Li Er didn't react, what kind of gift is this.

"Dreams are sometimes equal to ideals and are different from ideals. Because people can dream, the dream self may be different from reality. Dreams are a person's longing and desire for beautiful things, sometimes dreams are unrealistic, but there is no doubt that dreams are a person's most innocent, innocent, beautiful and lovely wishes. ”

Li Yuanxing's explanation was praised even by Li Er.

Jin Manqing stood up again and gave a big salute.

"Go down and rest, the affairs of Dongshi are not just your personal affairs."

Li Yuanxing stood up and said in a serious tone.

"If someone offends the laws of Datang, he will have to pay the price, this is to maintain the dignity of Datang, and you, as a member of Datang, you also have the obligation to maintain the dignity of Datang."

"This king once made an oath to do whatever it takes, even including the life of this king, to maintain the dignity of Datang! Anyone who only has Datang in their hearts is to protect Datang. ”

Jin Manqing really didn't dare to answer again, Li Yuanxing's words were beyond her comprehension.

At Li Yuanxing's signal, Yuan Chun left with Jin Manqing. (To be continued......)
