Chapter 115: Investigating the Vision
The first day of the first month of the fifth year of Zhenguan.
The sound of bells and drums kept ringing.
The entire Chang'an City seemed to be a lot quieter for a moment.
The Chengtian Gate, the Palace Gate, and the various temples have been renovated.
Entering the palace gate, it is suddenly open, looking forward from the flat ground, the magnificent Taiji Hall is at the forefront, that is where the highest power of the Tang Dynasty lies.
The ministers in the Taiji Hall shouted to Li Shimin.
The court meeting was held as scheduled, and the ministers were in the Taiji Palace, waiting for the envoys of all countries to meet them.
Last night, the banquet was only dispersed when it was time, and he didn't sleep for an hour or two, Cheng Yanjin stood in the court class and dozed groggily, and turned his eyes to look at the civil officials on the other side of the courtclass.
Among the civil officials, Cheng Yanjin saw Wei Zheng standing calmly with his eyes closed, this old guy must have fallen asleep.
He whispered to Wei Chigong beside him: "You see that Wei Zheng can fall asleep while standing, this old guy is not shallow." ”
Yu Chigong didn't have much energy, and just shook his head helplessly at Cheng Yanjin's words.
It seems that the grudge between Cheng Yanjin and Wei Zheng is afraid that it will not be able to get over.
An old bastard and an old stubborn can be entangled, I'm afraid that these two people will also make trouble in the future.
Wei Chigong didn't pay attention to Cheng Biting Jin, and at this moment he was looking forward to the early end of the Dynasty and the fact that he could go home and make up for sleep.
The envoys from all over the world entered the palace and said New Year's greetings, congratulated them, and their voices were glorious and slow, and they were subdued.
The crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Wei Li Tai, and the king of Shu Li Ke were also present.
Compared with Li Chengqian's noble status as the crown prince, His Majesty's love for Li Tai, Li Ke's brilliance is not as good as that of the prince and the king of Wei.
The three children are of the same age, Li Ke is only thirteen years old now, and he was named the governor of Yizhou by His Majesty early, he was too young to take up his post, and he has stayed in Chang'an, which shows that His Majesty also has high hopes for Li Ke.
The king's heart is unpredictable, maybe it is like this on the surface, and who knows what His Majesty is really thinking.
Only Li Shimin's three sons were present at the court, and these three sons are also what Li Shimin values the most at the moment.
Last night, envoys from various countries sent tribute, and Li Shimin also returned the gift accordingly, which is also an example of the exchange of gifts in the Central Plains.
After the general etiquette was over, in the face of the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun, Li Shimin still said that the court would discuss it again in the future, and such a sentence was lightly revealed without too many words.
Let Lu Dongzan and Tuyuhun envoys also eat a closed door, and now in front of so many people in the court, it is not easy to ask too much.
The military generals are also waiting for His Majesty's decision on the war in the Western Regions, and some people speculate that His Majesty still intends to watch from the sidelines?
Since His Majesty did not make any decisions, the ministers also remained silent about the war in the Western Regions for the time being.
In today's court, there will be contradictions internally, within civilian officials, or between civilian officials and military generals, but everyone's strategic stance on the outside world is still highly unified.
Family affairs are family affairs, and everyone is willing to stand on a highly unified front in external affairs.
It is not easy for Datang to have it now.
The ruler is also very clear.
His Majesty has only been on the throne for a few years, and it is also the best few years for many ministers to repay the society with enthusiasm.
The festival did not end until noon.
Li Shimin was in a very good mood, although the Great Dynasty was a little thrifty, he was finally able to deal with it.
After thinking about it, the days in the palace were going to become tight again, and Li Shimin's good mood was mostly gone.
The DPRK and China are very short of money, and now it is a situation of light and meager endowment.
Back in the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin took off his heavy court clothes and said to the eunuch on the side: "Please ask Doctor Sun to take a look at Princess Runan's condition." ”
"Whoa!" When the little eunuch on the side received the words, he was about to leave.
"Wait."
Li Shimin shouted to him again, "Princess Runan's concubine has a talent for mathematics, but this son has a heartbeat, and he hasn't disciplined him well, so let Li Chunfeng teach him well." ”
"Whoa."
If Zhang Yang can stop thinking about money all day long, and can teach well, maybe he will also be a usable talent.
I thought about giving it a try.
After a long while, Li Junxian walked into the hall, "Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin drank tea and nodded, "How did you check last night?" ”
Li Junxian bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, what happened last night was indeed not a vision of the night sky, nor was it a miracle, maybe it was really man-made. ”
Li Shimin put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked solemn, "Let's talk about it." ”
"The leading guards who patrolled last night went to check, there were traces of wax oil, and I personally went to investigate, there were traces of burning on the ground, and there were bamboo tubes in one place."
After speaking, Li Junxian took out a bamboo tube, "This is it." ”
Walking forward quickly, Li Shimin looked at this bamboo tube, the inside of the bamboo tube was still a little charred, as if it had been burned, there was a layer of sealed soil at the bottom, and there was some powder inside, and it was a little pungent when he smelled it carefully.
"Then the vision of the sky comes from such an ordinary, ubiquitous bamboo tube?"
"I didn't dare to assert it, but there was only this at the scene, and no one was found."
Li Junxian lowered his head after speaking.
Li Shimin bowed his head and said, "Continue to check." ”
"Whoa!"
What kind of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods came to Chang'an City, and they actually let such a vision appear in the night sky on the day of the feast, what is their intention?
Many doubts lingered in Li Shimin's heart.
The vision that happened last night has also become the talk of the neighborhood of Chang'an City today, whether they saw it or not, they are all talking about what happened last night.
That vision is the first time I've seen it in my life.
At home, Li Yue was knitting clothes, and she was in a good mood.
Zhang Yang looked at the two wills, which said that there were 200 households in the food estate, and 100 acres of land were given, "How big is this 100 acres of land?" ”
Li Yue couldn't laugh or cry a little, "The will says that a hundred acres of land will not be counted until you get the field book." ”
"Why?"
Li Yue said in a positive voice: "The so-called reward, many times it is said to a large number, for example, giving money to ten thousand times, it is not really giving money ten thousand times, maybe only a few hundred, or a thousand, how can anyone really give ten thousand." ”
If you don't have the land in your hands, you don't know how much land you have really been given.
The daughter-in-law has a fiefdom, and finally has a field in her hand, and she has to plan well.
"Daughter-in-law."
"Hmm."
Zhang Yang thought: "You say that we have a fief in our hands, how should we plan?" ”
Li Yue raised his chin and thought for a while, "Half of it will plant flowers for me, and half will plant vegetables for you." ”
Big bag, half for one person......
Obviously, the daughter-in-law doesn't know much about economic benefits.
There are also 200 households.
If there is land and people, it is still necessary to plan well, and with this fiefdom, maybe the matter of pension will also be settled.
Aunt Wang is helping the roast duck, the practice of roast duck is not difficult, in addition to the ratio of sauce, just roast a duck can be learned, can not be the grasp of the heat, so that the duck is heated evenly.
"I heard that there was a vision in the sky last night, and some officers and soldiers went to investigate."
