"It's coming" is indeed an irresistible reason, as if it were a spell that can break any excuse for rejection in the world.

Li Qinzai, who was still panicking about the early arrival of the mid-life crisis, sat opposite Li Zhi after a while, pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

All kinds of food and wine on the low table are all things with high uric acid, high blood lipids and high blood sugar, Li Qinzai ate and drank with anxiety while drinking, and it didn't take long for the wine to come up, and Li Qinzai suddenly found that he was not worried.

Sure enough, alcohol can relieve a thousand sorrows, including a midlife crisis.

I have to say that after the imperial chef of Taiji Palace learned Li Qinzai's cooking methods, his skills became more and more exquisite.

The stewed beef brisket with radish in front of him, as well as the stewed pig's trotters, tasted very good, and Li Qinzai felt that it was better than what he made himself.

I really can't challenge the professionalism of the imperial chef with my hobby, and people can stabilize the kitchen bowl, which is indeed a bit of real ability.

Li Zhi is in a very good mood today, one is that Li Qinzai returned to Beijing, the two are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends, and the reunion of old friends is self-effaced.

Second, there is good news from Jiangnan, the six major families have been subdued by Li Qinzai, and everything is developing smoothly in the direction hoped by the imperial court.

In particular, the issue of land annexation in Jiangnan has been greatly improved under Li Qinzai's disposal, and the imperial court represented by Li Qinzai has also established its authority in Jiangnan this time, which is a good thing for the centralization of power in Chang'an.

can do this errand so perfectly, Li Qinzai really used his heart and strength, how could Li Zhi not like it.

The monarch and the ministers drank each other, and before they knew it, they drank a little floating.

Li Zhi's eyes were a little fluttering, and he burped and said: "By the way, Jing Chu, I received a report the day before yesterday that the Quanzhou Shipbuilding Division has built five sea-going ships of 3,000 materials, and one sea-going ship of 5,000 materials, and the Dengzhou Shipbuilding Division has also built four or five sea-going ships, and Sun Renshi's sailors have expanded the number of nearly 10,000 people, and now they have almost practiced it......"

Li Qinzai was stunned, put down the wine cup, and said slowly: "That is to say, ......"

Li Zhi grinned and said, "In other words, our Datang Navy fleet can set sail, Jing Chu, I am looking forward to it now, I really want to see what the end of the sea you said looks like......

"Is there really a new grain seed with a yield of thousands of catties per mu, is there really a pepper that is spicy and tears when you taste it, and there are all kinds of minerals and all kinds of new crops......

"If the fleet can really bring them back to Datang, I can't imagine how rich and powerful Datang will be in the future."

"Jing Chu, you say, can I see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with my own eyes in my lifetime?"

Li Qinzai was silent for a moment and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, Your Majesty will definitely be able to see the prosperous era in his lifetime......"

His eyes gradually blurred, as if he had penetrated time and space, and lines of words from the history books of his previous life vaguely appeared in front of him.

"Your Majesty, that is the real prosperous era, in the vast history of the five thousand years of China, only the light of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty is the most dazzling, and the descendants of a thousand years later are still proud of this prosperous era."

"In the description of the history books, the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful, our kings and soldiers are invincible in the world, the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven is in charge of the army and serves all the states, looking at the world, they are all vassals, all the states are subordinate to the court, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the government and the opposition are clear and virtuous......."

"Countless writers and poets have written immortal hymns for the prosperous era, accompanied by fine wine, sword dance to congratulate, and even the moonlight in the Tang Dynasty at that time was extraordinarily bright and peaceful."

"Cang Liao knows the etiquette, the food and clothing are enough to know the honor and disgrace, the prosperous weather, the government and the opposition are praised, the historian is recorded in the history, not full praise, the spring and autumn knife pen, and I can't bear to be picky."

"During the lifetime of Your Majesty's reign, it is very likely that all this that the minister just said will be realized."

Li Zhi quietly listened to the prosperous picture described by Li Qinzai, his face turned red with excitement, and his breathing became short.

"When I am in power, can it really be realized?" Li Zhi asked excitedly.

Li Qinzai nodded affirmatively: "It will be realized, Your Majesty, the fleet is about to set sail to explore this unknown world, Your Majesty can't imagine what a rich dividend it will bring to our Tang Dynasty and our Chinese people." ”

"Tian Khan is not only the Tian Khan of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tian Khan of the whole world."

…………

Monarchs and ministers meet each other, and they are all happy.

This time, Li Zhi and Li Qinzai did not talk about government affairs, everything Li Qinzai did in Jiangnan was written in the song, and there was no need to say it again.

Today, the monarch and the minister conspired to get drunk, and then, the two were really drunk.

The picture described by Li Qinzai is so beautiful that Li Zhi can't get drunk.

And Li Qinzai was also a little drunk, trying to keep his senses and say goodbye to Li Zhi and leave the palace.

As soon as he stepped out of the Anren Palace, he turned the jade steps of the cloister, but he met the Empress Wu head-on.

Empress Wu stood quietly at the corner of Anren Hall, her eyes calmly watching Li Qinzai.

Judging by her appearance, it seems that she has not just arrived, but has been standing here for a long time.

Li Qinzai was taken aback and hurriedly cleaned up his clothes to meet him.

Empress Wu waved her hand, signaled for a waiver, and then looked at him with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, but Jing Chu's eloquence is becoming more and more exquisite."

Li Qinzai laughed dryly, this woman was really eavesdropping on the corner outside the hall. She heard what he said to Li Zhi just now.

It's all queens, why can't I change my sneaky problem, fortunately, I didn't say bad things about her in front of Li Zhi just now.

So when he met Empress Wu head-on, Li Qinzai was just a little surprised, but he was not embarrassed.

Empress Wu turned around and looked at the undulating palaces of Taiji Palace, not knowing what she was thinking.

She didn't speak, and Li Qinzai couldn't retreat, so she had to stand behind her and give her a deep space to pretend to be in a daze.

After a long time, Empress Wu suddenly said faintly: "Is the prosperous scene that Jing Chu just said to His Majesty true?" ”

Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It's true, in fact, it is not far from the prosperous era now, as long as the land annexation problem is solved or alleviated in Datang, as long as the new continent is discovered abroad, the prosperous era will definitely come as promised." ”

Empress Wu sighed: "When the Tang Dynasty was founded, after martial virtues, Zhenguan, countless virtuous ministers and famous generals did their best for the community, only then did there be the world's praise of the 'Zhenguan rule', if the Tang Dynasty carries forward the past and forges ahead into the future, it can really create a prosperous era in the hands of today's son, Your Majesty and the palace are enough." ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "The minister congratulates His Majesty and the Empress in advance. ”

Empress Wu turned around and looked at him with a smile: "The creation of the prosperous world, how can you lose your credit at the beginning of the world?" Your Majesty and the palace both see it in their eyes, Jing Chu, the Tang Dynasty has been able to have such a huge change over the years, which is closely related to Jing Chu's efforts, if you talk about merit, your merit is even higher than Your Majesty. ”

Li Qinzai's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "The queen must not say this, the minister can't afford it, the minister just wants to live to the end of his life and live to ...... old age."

Empress Wu sneered and glanced at him: "Obviously very bold, Jiangnan and his party wiped out two families in a row, and thousands of people raised their knives and fell without ambiguity, and at this time they pretended to be cowardly like a mouse in front of the palace, heh!" ”

Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said: "Empress, your words are too damning, the rule of the prosperous age, who dares to be higher than Your Majesty's merits, the minister is not pretending, he is really afraid......"

Empress Wu snorted coldly, and then turned to look at the undulating palace of Taiji Palace, frowning slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a long time, Empress Wu suddenly sighed: "The general trend is Ruosi, and if you go against the sky, you will be blamed by the heavens......"

Li Qinzai looked at her puzzled.

Empress Wu smiled: "Jing Chu, this palace has thought about a matter, you have to help me." ”

Li Qinzai's eyelids jumped, and a line of fraudulent information immediately popped up in his mind: a middle-aged rich woman, who is asking for a child with a lot of money......

was thinking wildly, but Empress Wu smiled and said: "Okay, Jing Chu is drunk, hurry up and go home to rest, the matter of this palace, someone has told you, whether to help or not, it depends on your feelings." ”
