The official uniform cannot be lost, and whoever has no official uniform will know it by checking it.

The new dress made by Li Yue looks a little big, but it's okay to collect it with a belt.

"My husband is really handsome in whatever clothes he wears." Li Yue walked around and exclaimed.

This is all a figure that has been exercised by doing coolies for many years, the whole person is like a clothes rack, and he looks thin in clothes, Li Yue knows that her husband's shoulders and back are very strong.

Li Shimin personally told him to attend Li Chengqian's crown ceremony.

I tried on a new outfit, and the people from the East Palace also came.

Before the crown ceremony, the East Palace sent some silk and delicate food.

The person who came handed over the things to Aunt Wang and left.

Zhang Yang picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, the taste was very light and the taste was very bad, and he didn't want to eat it anymore after taking a bite.

Li Yue also tasted it and put it down.

However, the bear is not a picky eater, so he climbed on the table and ate it.

"If you accept the things in the East Palace, if you don't go to the East Palace, there are no rules." Zhang Yang frowned and said, "That's what it means." ”

"That's true." Aunt Wang nodded.

Li Yue likes silk more, she is a lot taller, she has to make new clothes every year, and last year's clothes can't be worn this year.

Seeing her husband rummaging through the house, Li Yue asked curiously: "Husband, have you lost something at home?" ”

Zhang Yang scratched his head, "You said that it would be better for the prince to give something as a gift to the crown prince." ”

Li Yue smiled: "Actually, except for the elders, we don't have to send it, as long as people come over." ”

"That's not going to work, and it's not good to go empty-handed." Zhang Yang looked at the salted duck eggs that were still sealed in the yellow mud, "Why don't you send a few salted duck eggs to the prince?" ”

Li Yue smiled bitterly, "This salted duck egg is not enough for our own family." ”

The family is poor, and there is really nothing to do.

Picking up a small jar at home, every time he poured out some white sugar, Zhang Yang felt his heart hurt like a thousand knives.

In Datang, sugar is expensive, and good quality sugar can also be sold at a good price.

This small jar of white sugar alone must be worth a silver dollar or two.

The family conditions are poor, and he doesn't plan to slap his swollen face and become fat, he is not a wealthy family in the first place, Zhang Yang sighed in his heart.

But the salted duck eggs are indeed a bit too stumbling, and the things that have been given to people on weekdays are not good to send out, and only the white sugar in the hand is in the hand.

It doesn't have to be too expensive, it's something we can take out ourselves.

The original jar of white sugar was divided into two parts, and my heart was dripping blood.

Seeing her husband's distressed appearance, Li Yue covered her mouth and smiled: "Since my husband knows this white sugar method, he wants as much as he wants in the future." ”

"That's distressing, too." Zhang Yang sniffed aggrievedly.

I don't know what Li Chengqian will do with these white sugars.

White sugar, which is like a grain of sand, to be precise, white sugar is used for cooking, which is also the reason why it refines white sugar.

The ghost knows if Li Chengqian will eat this white sugar as a snack.

The day before the crown ceremony, Suzaku Street was visibly more lively than usual.

In their spare time, Zhang Yang and Li Yue sat in Qujiang Pond to relax.

Seeing Li Tai, he was not surprised that his appearance was not very good at the moment, Zhang Yang was puzzled: "His Royal Highness King Wei, your hairstyle ......"

Li Tai threw his mess back, "What's wrong?" ”

"It looks like His Royal Highness the King of Wei went out to ask for food and fought with someone else for half an hour."

Li Tai was silent for a long time, "I did have a fight with someone, and I drank too much in the morning and had a fight with Gao Cheng." ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but gasp, "I don't know how to win or lose?" ”

straightened his clothes, Li Tai snorted coldly: "This king wants to beat him, he dares to fight back?" Tomorrow, at the crown ceremony, you can see what kind of virtue he is. ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I admire the happiness and enmity."

This little fat man is not big, but he is a ghost, if he usually does it, he will inevitably be punished by Li Shimin.

But doing it after drinking is two different things, Li Shimin may just scold a few words, anyway, he has drunk too much, and Li Tai can fool the past by pretending to be confused.

Even if he is Gao Shilian's son, as Xu Guogong, he can't say much.

Li Tai looked at the scenery in front of him, "In fact, Gao Cheng is a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, he has no backbone, he still has to be honest in front of the king and the prince, just a cowardly person, this king appreciates your brother-in-law more, for his own interests, he will repay him, even the king's own uncle Li Yuanchang dares to calculate." ”

Zhang Yang cleared his throat and straightened his expression, "Is His Royal Highness King Wei hurting me or praising me?" ”

Li Tai sneered: "Manly man, if you don't have that spirit, how can you talk about a foothold, this king has seen that this high performance can't go far with the Ministry of Etiquette, he isolated Zhang Daxiang and recruited a group of his cronies to do things, this king looks at their words and deeds these days, he is a group of wine and meat people, and even his brother-in-law's fingers can't compare." ”

Looking at the little fat man's speech like an adult, children at this age like to pretend to be adults, and they want to experience the feeling of adults before they grow up, and when they really grow up, they will feel the helplessness of being adults.

Zhang Yang straightened his hair, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei was angry for me, and I beat Gao Cheng This matter will be remembered in the future, and I will definitely repay it if I have the opportunity." ”

"You don't have to repay it, when will you make doughnuts for this king."

"Donuts are a mixture of oil and sugar, and it is easy to gain weight if you eat too much high-calorie food, so when King Wei is thinner again, I will do it."

"Okay, that's it."

After coming back to his senses, Li Tai asked again: "I heard that the prince also gave you an invitation?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled helplessly, "Your father and the emperor personally told me to attend the crown ceremony. ”

"You and the imperial sister go, and the king will also go and have a look."

Aunt Wang bought some sheep intestines and came back, which was ready to be used to make sausages.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Zhang Yang caught a fish and put it in the bamboo basket on the side, "How is the compilation of the Kuodi Chronicles?" ”

"Cen Wenwen was full of praise for the outline made by the imperial sister, and he also saw that the outline was not made by this king, but he didn't say it explicitly, and this king would not explain so much to him."

Li Tai said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law, I have thought about some things for a long time, people can't be without great ambitions, although you have made mistakes, but this is all for the sake of Sheji, don't care if he is in business or not, this king has made people calculate, such Turks will last for another year at most, the warm sun in the north will come late, this year's cattle and sheep will not grow well, at most another year, and they will use cattle and sheep to deduct taxes next year." ”

This is a means of clamping down on the Turks, so that the Turks are divided internally, there are heavy taxes and interests, as long as the milk tea business in the Central Plains is good enough, there are interests for the Turks, for the sake of interests, if they want enough milk powder, they will compete for good pastures.

Where there is money to be made, there is a struggle, which seems to be a profit, but in fact it is a trap that deepens the internal contradictions of the Turks.

The governance of the Central Plains is centralized, and the governance of the grasslands is tribal, and this tribal management method will also make contradictions frequent.

This practice can last for three or four years, but it may not always be useful, and it needs to be improved.

Li Tai said solemnly: "Brother-in-law, you must take the Ministry of Rites back." ”

Zhang Yang smiled indifferently, "How can it be so simple, this matter is still decided by your father, I am now unofficial and light, and this kind of life is also very good." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Li Tai went back.

The couple went home and Aunt Yang bought a lot of pork, which was used as raw materials for sausages.

The bear cub is used to food, he has no appetite for raw meat, he is used to eating, sleeping, and thriving, and as a member of the beasts, he cannot completely lose his wildness.

When it grows up, throw it into Lishan, a beast should also look like a beast, otherwise how to look at the home.

Early in the morning of the second day, the couple packed up and went to the East Palace to participate in the crown ceremony of the current crown prince Li Chengqian, accompanied by Aunt Wang.

Aunt Yang stayed at home and continued to make sausages, which was a good time to make sausages.

In front of the Suzaku Gate, there were already many powerful clans and princes walking on the road, and they were all going to participate in this crown crown ceremony.

There is no contradiction between Li Chengqian and his wife, after all, the prince has no ill will towards everyone.

Walking to the door of the East Palace, Zhang Yang handed over his white sugar to the guards in front of the door, and hurriedly glanced at the gift list.

Shocked in his heart, Li Xiaogong was generous, and his family background was also thick.

I really can't underestimate the power of Datang.

Maybe some people don't have much cash, and by the way, some things are worth a lot.

In the crowd, Zhang Yang saw Ouyang Xun again, and he chatted with a few people who also had white hair.

followed the maid of the East Palace into the East Palace, and Li Tai also sat in it early.

There are many people standing outside the East Palace, but the people who can enter the main hall of the East Palace are either from the clan, or the powerful, or the elders who are extremely valued by the prince, or the young leaders.

Changsun Wuji's son, Changsun Chong and Gao Cheng sat at a table, and after both of them were heroes, they also noticed Zhang Yang and Princess Runan who walked into the palace.

The eldest grandson Chong said in a low voice: "That is Zhang Yang, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Gao Cheng nodded, "Do you want to come forward and get acquainted?" ”

The eldest grandson snorted coldly: "Such a utilitarian person, don't know it." ”

was beaten by Li Tai, Gao Cheng was also depressed, and there were bruises in the corners of his eyes at the moment, King Wei deliberately made himself ugly at the crown ceremony of the crown prince this time.

When they saw Li Yuan walking towards Zhang Yang, both of them looked awe-inspired, and they regarded Zhang Yang as an opponent in their hearts, and they had never seen the emperor so close to a colt.

Even if Zhang Yang made a mistake in the Ministry of Rites, I heard that Li Yuan was still talking about this concubine, ignoring his mistakes, but remembering some good things Zhang Yang had done.

It's almost because of this matter that the emperor pleaded with His Majesty today.

I haven't seen anyone who can get the care of the emperor like this.

Even some of the children of the clan were not so napped by the emperor.

"Boy, I thought you weren't coming." Li Yuan came over with two young people, and introduced: "This is the kid of Li Shentong's family, called ......."

"The last general, Li Daoyan."

Li Yuan looked at the other young man.

"The last general, Su Dingfang."

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Under Zhang Yang." ”

Li Yue also stood up and saluted.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, you two boys go down." ”

Su Dingfang and Li Daoyan retired together.

"These two people are the same age as you, and they seem to be quite insightful among the juniors, especially Su Dingfang when he accompanied Li Jing to the north to conquer the Turks." Li Yuan said with compassion, "You kid should also have such ambitions." ”

I don't hold military power in this life, these are the words that Zhang Gongjin confessed, and the teacher is not in the court, but he knows the way to survive in the court.

Not in charge of the army, not in charge of the army, constantly reminding himself in his heart, Zhang Yang replied: "The emperor is looking down on him, and he can't even do a civilian official well, let alone enlist in the army and become a general." ”

"Hahaha......" Li Yuan stroked his beard and smiled: "Wei Chigong said, it's a pity that your kid doesn't join the army." ”

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "General Wei Chi, what kind of eyes do you think I can be a general?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Li Yuan laughed even louder.

Gao Cheng and Changsun Chong sat and looked at Zhang Yang, hearing Li Yuan's laughter, the two were even more hostile to Zhang Yang, among the younger generation, both of them were very good, and the young talents in Chang'an City shone the most.

At this moment, he killed a Zhang Yang, and his reputation spread all over Chang'an City, this reputation is good and bad, the good thing is that he let the Tang soldiers take back the Hexi Corridor without blood, and even let Xue Yantuo withdraw from the army, and the bad thing is that this person uses his power for personal gain in the Ministry of Rites.

There are also people Zhang Yang who just made a mistake for a while, and a person's talent cannot be hidden, and sooner or later it will be reused by His Majesty.

This is an opponent that should not be underestimated, looking at Li Yuan's treatment of Zhang Yang like this at the moment, how many people present want to say a few words to the emperor, Your Majesty, and the crown prince.

can say a few words and show himself, so that the Emperor Taishang took the initiative to talk to Zhang Yang.

Li Yuan smiled and pulled Zhang Yang to sit down, "I'm tired of eating the tea eggs in Wude Palace, and the salted duck eggs taste good, but they're almost finished." ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "I will send it to the Emperor Taishang with my daughter-in-law another day." ”

Li Yuan grinned: "I also have to come to the Wude Hall more often, Erlang's kid is just going to deal with government affairs and has no time to receive you, the Wude Hall is very boring on weekdays, and no one is bored, Qingque, this kid can't be idle, he can't sit still in the Wude Palace, Chengqian, this kid is too dull, and he is almost stupid to study with Li Gang on weekdays." ”

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "Your old man can come out and walk around more, our village has just been built, and the king of Hejian County and Doctor Sun live in our village, if you are bored, you can come out and walk around, it is at the foot of Li Mountain, not far." ”

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod, "That's very good." ”

Seeing that her husband and the imperial grandfather were talking and laughing, Li Yue smiled softly and felt very warm, at least the imperial grandfather was not as cold as his father.

There is a feeling of familiarity with Li Yuan, and the number of times the two have met two generations can be counted, which can be described as a special chat.

Li Yuan frowned and said, "The bean sprouts you said are really useful?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said: "It's also convenient to want bean sprouts, soak the soybeans overnight, and then pad them with a damp cloth, and it will sprout if you put it on the windowsill at home, and after sprouting, you can cut some every day and use it as an ingredient." ”
