Before dawn, Qin Wangzhuang was almost empty, the seven concubines of Qin Wang, as well as Jindeman, Wu Cao, and all the maids, as well as nearly a hundred second-class maids, and three hundred female guards, five hundred guards were out of the village, and their goal was naturally Tianchi.

Cuihua Mountain is beautiful and picturesque, and the most fascinating thing is the Tianchi at the top of the peak. Tianchi is surrounded by mountains, rippling blue waves, clear as a mirror, and the dust is not clean.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been opened as the royal "Shanglin Garden" and "Imperial Garden", and the Qin King Yingzheng used to hunt and leisure here; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once set up a dojo to worship the gods of Taiyi.

Li Yuanxing chose the location of the tea party here, just because he thought it was like a fairyland!

Everyone went to Tianchi, but Li Yuanxing was still practicing calligraphy in the small living room.

The three peaks are interspersed with clouds and cold, and the four walls are horizontally displayed around the stream;

The snow ridge realm is not visible to the heavens, and the ice pool is dazzling and unsightly.

The depth of the rock can avoid the damage of swords and soldiers, and the water can nourish the crops and dry them;

The north of the famous town is the first, and no one writes to see the picture.

"His Highness's handwriting has improved rapidly, but it is still formless and godless. The subordinates thought that His Royal Highness should not come to the post anymore, and only after having his own style can he be considered a real god. His Royal Highness's poetry is unique, this poetry is unique, but the taste of Taoism is too heavy, not suitable for the public to appreciate, but several immortals will definitely like it. ”

Li Yuanxing knew in his heart that this poem was naturally very Taoist in flavor, and it was written by Taoist priest Qiu Chuji.

Chu Suiliang commented on Li Yuanxing's handwriting and picked out the deficiencies of the pen.

"Your Highness is not quiet, but I don't know what it is?" The state of mind can be seen from the words. This Chu Suiliang is worthy of calligraphy, and in his opinion, words are born from the heart.

Li Yuanxing nodded: "In the past few days, the bridge has been closed, and this king is very concerned!" ”

"His Royal Highness's Yaozhou to Chang'an Straight Road, only this bridge is missing. Not to mention His Royal Highness, even the Holy Lord has summoned officials from the Ministry of Works every day in recent days, demanding that the progress of the bridge be reported every morning and evening, with human, financial, and material resources. Priority must be given to ensuring that the bridge must be completed in one go, without any mistakes. "Chu Suiliang is now a clerk from the sixth grade. In modern parlance, it is. Li Er's confidential secretary.

Li Yuanxing knew in his heart that Li Er also cared about his face as the King of Qin. After all, this bridge is Li Yuanxing's first major project that can be seen by the people of the world.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, great interesting story!" Lu Maofeng rushed in from the outside.

He just came in. was scolded by Chu Suiliang: "What are you flustered about? His Highness lost his manners in front of him. ”

Lu Maofeng just smiled. Ignored Chu Suiliang. said to Li Yuanxing: "Your Highness, the holy decree of marriage was issued early this morning, and the boy was thrown into the cold water tank by his subordinates before he woke up. He ......"

Before Lu Maofeng finished speaking, Li Yuanxing interrupted him: "How did the thunder riders react?" ”

Speaking of business, Lu Maofeng didn't dare to laugh anymore, and replied very seriously: "Your Highness, the Lei Riders are very excited, and it is unthinkable for them to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Arrange some matchmakers to see if there are any women from the Tang Dynasty who are willing to marry Lei Qi!"

"Yes!" Lu Maofeng saluted and ran out again.

Chu Suiliang said again: "Doesn't Your Highness go to Tianchi?" ”

"Go ahead, the king wants to be quiet. There is nothing to attract this king in Tianchi, there will be a big competition of poems and essays tonight, Mr. Yu is one of the main commentators, you go and help. By the way, tell the contestants that those who win the championship will also have a special reward from the Qin Palace, and their articles or calligraphy and paintings will be printed on the Datang Daily! ”

"Yes! Then your majesty is gone! Chu Suiliang gave a salute and withdrew.

Tianchi!

It was not the first time for Li Er to come here, but after coming to Tianchi this time, Li Er scolded with a smile in front of Li Yuan: "Gorou is very slippery, such a beautiful place is excellent as a royal garden, but now it is occupied by Goro." When the first minister came, there was nothing special here except for this pool of water. ”

"When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, you can't catch up with Gorou!" Li Yuan.

"It's a building, but it's a unique place."

"Holy Lord, Emperor Taishang!" Li Chunfeng said on the side: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin here is built with the array of two instruments, including the way of heaven and earth. This place was originally made in heaven. Plus the day after tomorrow transformation, there is this beautiful scenery. In particular, the place where the Taiyi Temple was built is like the finishing touch, showing the majesty of the mountain! ”

There was a lot of praise, and the seven princesses of Qin listened to it with joy in their hearts.

Wu Cao is clear, Li Yuanxing is taking its essence, Tianchi Scenic Area has been rebuilt many times in the modern era of later generations, Li Yuanxing canceled those houses built purely to make money, and the nature left behind can be decorated with beautiful scenery. In particular, each building, in terms of location and design, needs the purpose of the Qin Palace.

The master of Taiyi Temple is a Taoist priest in his fifties who has won among thousands of people.

The royal people live in the temple, and the rest of the guests can set up tents at designated locations.

In the view, seventy-two tea merchants are setting up a formation, preparing for a big competition. Even if they are members of the Xihang Tea Chamber of Commerce, they have to compete with each other, from the different origins, the process of roasting tea is different, and their respective names are also very different.

In the case of the Xihang Tea Chamber of Commerce, they have launched eighteen kinds of tea, and Longjing alone has five varieties.

West Lake Longjing is a well-known famous tea, but there is also a kind named Big Buddha Longjing. Taken from the tea garden of the Great Buddha Temple in Xinchang, it is studied by the monks in the Shangcha and Buddhist temples under the inspiration of Li Yuanxing's immortal tea scriptures, so it is named the Big Buddha Longjing. Li Yuanxing cleaned up the temples around Chang'an, but he didn't beat the Buddha to death with a stick.

It's just that Buddhism can abide by Li Yuanxing's regulations, then there is room for existence.

"Holy Lord, Emperor Taishang, ladies and gentlemen. I am the Xihang Tea Chamber of Commerce, the top ten famous teas in this internal evaluation, plus excellent tea products, a total of 18 teas participated. The top ten famous teas are: West Lake Longjing, Kaihua Longding, Yuexiang Longjing, Big Buddha Longjing, Songyang Silver Monkey, Jingshan Tea, Wuyang Spring Rain, Anji White Tea, Green Sword Tea, and Ten Thousand Island Jade Leaves! ”

"Excellent!" Li Er nodded slightly.

After the head of the Xihang Tea Chamber of Commerce retreated, two more people stood up at the same time, and after glancing at each other, Shi Li was retreating at the same time, Dongyue Tea Chamber of Commerce and Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce. But they understood that if there was a dispute at this time, it would be rude, so they backed down at the same time.

"Let's talk about Dongyue first!" Li Er was very satisfied with the courtesy of both parties.

"Holy Lord, Emperor Taishang, ladies and gentlemen, my Dongyue Tea Chamber of Commerce also evaluates the top ten famous teas. Jixian Dahongpao, Cloud Oolong, Anxi Green Wu (Tieguanyin), Benshan Dragon Whisker, Yongchun Buddha's Hand, Yongchun Narcissus, Anxi Meixian, Luoyan Gold, Yunwu Baihao, Tianxian Snow Green. ”

These names are somewhat similar to the names of later generations.

But Li Yuanxing rejected the name Guanyin tea, and Li Yuanxing's tea name was Xianchadao, so the tea merchants named it, mainly by place names, and added more fairy characters.

When it comes to the Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce.

Bashu is also a place of famous tea, this time the poorest Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce can be said to have the full support of several large chambers of commerce of the richest in the whole Bashu, just to strive to win a good ranking in this big competition and win glory for Bashu.

"Holy Lord, Emperor Taishang, ladies and gentlemen! My Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce is the poorest, the land of Bashu is the most bitter, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin is loved and given the method of fairy tea. I Bashu Tea Chamber of Commerce 100,000 tea farmers, this conference to take out the most exquisite tea, just ask the world to know, I Bashu also have good tea. ”

Mengshan Immortal Tea, Qingcheng Wuyin, Emei Bamboo Leaf Green, Pingshan Miaoqing, Wuhou Immortal Tea......

Bashu also reported ten tea names, but there were also more than a dozen good teas to participate in the competition.

There are tea merchants from all over the country who sign up one by one.

At this time, a woman in a blue cloth dress walked out, first performed a etiquette that no one understood, and then the etiquette of the Han people, and then said: "Lingnan is also a member of the Tang Dynasty, our tea merchants have walked thousands of miles, only brought seventy-two backs, nine were lost on the road, and only sixty-three were entered into Chang'an!" ”

"Reward, reward again, you have worked hard along the way, I feel the same way!"

"Emperor Xie Tang!" This sentence of thanks is wrong, but Li Er is happy, how can he be punished.

This woman is obviously the Miao family.

"We also have the top 10 teas! Although it was late to get the tea of His Royal Highness King Qin, our Lingnan tea also has other flavors, especially the new Tianxian red, Lingtou green, Fengwu Xianhong, and Gushi oolong are also the top grades, especially the ancient stone oolong, just with the autumn tea, it will be able to compete with the world's famous tea! ”

Confucianism emphasizes humility.

But the woman of the Miao family is direct, she only came to Chang'an for two things, the first is the main thing, she wants to compete for a place for Lingnan tea. The second thing is to see her man, the second son of the Feng family, Feng Zhidai.

"Okay, I'm a first, the ancient stone oolong!" Li Er: This is to give Lingnan Feng Ang face.

Because this time, Feng Ang gave Datang enough face, first came to Chang'an in person, and left two sons. Now even the tea party has Lingnan tea delivered, which is Feng An's sincerity.

Wu Cao personally walked to the tea table and sat down, and the tea merchants secretly exclaimed.

Although it is said that the royal family is here to taste, the ranking should also be combined with the evaluation of tea by all the celebrities in Tianchi, that is, the opinions of the people of the world are used to determine the top ten famous teas.

But Princess Mingyue's identity is extraordinary.

Not to mention identity, it is when talking about tea and passing tea, it is Princess Mingyue's first bubble fairy tea.

Princess Mingyue personally soaked this ancient stone oolong, what a great honor it is. The tea merchants congratulated the Lingnan tea merchants one after another, just for this honor.

Wu Cao stretched out his hand and grabbed dozens of tea grains with his slender jade fingers and threw them into the tea bowl.

The tea grains collide with the tea bowl, and a crisp sound comes out.

"It's autumn tea!" Wu Cao whispered, and then said: "The appearance of Qiu Wuqing is tight and thick, solid and heavy, and the dry tea is naturally crisp when the cup is tightly knotted!" ”

The Wuqing mentioned by Wu Cao is what later generations called Tieguanyin.

Wu Cao said that the method of identifying autumn tea was immediately recorded by the scribe, and the tea merchants also took pens to make records. (To be continued......)
