Concubine Yang said: "I didn't expect you to come here, I came here after listening to the queen's instructions, and the dormitory is next door." ”

Li Yue said with a smile: "It's a lot of disturbance, Yue'er came to her father's book collection to take a look at the classics here." ”

Looking at this Zuozangku, Concubine Yang continued, "Your father and emperor even have to guard against his own daughter. ”

Li Yue frowned puzzled.

Concubine Yang explained: "This is indeed a place to collect books, but this is not the place where the former Sui Emperor collects books, and there is also a right library in the palace, where there are many rare treasures and a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and your father doesn't care much about these books." ”

Li Yue suddenly said: "So that's the case." ”

"Your father does have some books, all of which can be taken and read at any time in the Ganlu Palace."

Listening to Li Yue and Concubine Yang talking.

has been dealing with the queen all along, and Li Yue can also deal with the strange Concubine Yang in front of him.

After chatting for a while, Concubine Yang left first.

Li Yue looked inside the warehouse, "Concubine Yang said she would come back later." ”

Standing outside the warehouse for half an hour, Xiao Wu has always been very curious about this warehouse, standing at the door and looking outside.

Half an hour later, Li Yue asked the palace maid to prepare water and brooms, and to clean up here.

Walking into the warehouse, you can see footprints at every step, and the dust here is unbelievably thick.

Li Yue didn't reach out to take the scroll here, it was covered with dust.

The bucket brought by the palace maid, Xiao Wu first took the bucket with difficulty and poured water on the ground.

Li Yue tied up her long hair, rolled up her sleeves, and began to clean up.

The books and silk books were carefully wiped and put outside to dry.

He also looked at the contents of the scroll.

Empty a bookshelf, not to mention that it is covered with dust, and even the entire bookshelf has been corroded by moisture.

With a single tap, the entire bookshelf falls apart.

Zhang Yang took out all the broken things and emptied the entire warehouse.

Xiao Wu began to sweep the floor with a broom, and after listening to Li Yue's teaching, after splashing it with water, it was better to sweep away the dust.

The family is busy enough.

I originally wanted to come here to find some classics about the gazetteer, but I didn't expect it to become a cleaning here.

Concubine Yang came again with the palace maid, and she spoke: "Help clean up this place." ”

Before he could say anything more, a group of palace maids walked in and began to clean up.

Looking at Li Yue's expression, he originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that there was a huge Zuo Zangku, just the couple and Xiao Wu couldn't clean it up.

Concubine Yang asked someone to bring food again, "It's already past noon, and you haven't eaten yet, so the palace has prepared wine and food." ”

While talking, Concubine Yang asked people to prepare the table and stacks of meat dishes.

Seeing that the couple were not seated, Concubine Yang called another palace maid.

This palace maid Li Yue knows that she is from the Lizheng Palace.

"This is what the queen asked Concubine Yang to prepare, and Her Royal Highness the princess and Lishan Ling rarely stayed in the palace for dinner."

Knowing that this was the meaning of the queen mother, Li Yue took Xiao Wu to the seat.

Outside the Zuo Library, the palace maids were very busy going in and out, and for a while they attracted the palace maids from other palaces, and they had to see what was going on when they passed by.

Concubine Yang said in a low voice: "No one has set foot here for a long time. ”

Li Yue watched Xiao Wu eating food, and asked, "Didn't anyone come to clean up before?" ”

Concubine Yang nodded, "The food is a little small, and I don't know if it suits your appetite." ”

Xiao Wu ate the vegetables and pulled two bites of millet rice.

Li Yue said with a smile: "Usually the family eats little. ”

Seeing Concubine Yang pouring wine, Zhang Yang hurriedly said, "I don't usually drink. ”

Concubine Yang was puzzled: "How can there be a man who is not good at drinking." ”

Does it mean that a man has to be a good drinker? Is eating without drinking a man a man?

Zhang Yang held his forehead, "I'll just eat some food, and I have to tidy up the Zuozang Library, and it's not convenient to drink at this moment." ”

"That's right." Concubine Yang nodded and brought a large bowl of rice.

The bowl is very big, as big as his own face, Zhang Yang looked at the bowl full of rice, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

】

Concubine Yang whispered, "You're welcome, it's all ordinary food, and I was also ordered by the queen to take care of you." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't move fast for a long time, Concubine Yang asked, "Isn't it unappetizing?" ”

Zhang Yang shook his head, "It's not unappetizing." ”

Concubine Yang said again: "Boys should eat more, Ke'er eats so much at every meal, I don't know if it's too little for you, prepare a lot and eat it." ”

Zhang Yang has a black line, and he doesn't know how to explain it, can this kid Li Ke really eat so much at every meal?

After eating half a bowl, Zhang Yang held his stomach, "I really can't eat it." ”

Concubine Yang took the half bowl of millet rice and said to the palace maid on the side: "It's a pity to pour it, let's give it to the wild cats in the palace." ”

"Whoa."

First looked at Zhang Yang, then at Li Yue and Xiao Wu, Concubine Yang said in a low voice: "Actually, there is one more thing this time, I want to discuss it with the princess and Lishan Ling." ”

First of all, under the orders of the queen, Concubine Yang naturally had to do it, and then she was a favor, and it was normal to make a request.

Concubine Yang whispered, "Ke'er has been relatively stupid since she was a child, she has been in the army for three years since she was ten years old, and after she came back, she became more and more wooden in front of people, and as his mother, she was also worried about what he would do in the future. ”

As if talking about sadness, Concubine Yang lowered her head, "It is said that Ke'er is the blood of the former Sui, and the people in the palace are not willing to get close to him, although His Majesty has always been kind to the old people of the former Sui, but these statements about Ke'er have always been there." ”

Zhang Yang asked tentatively, "Could it be that you were bullied in the army?" ”

Concubine Yang shook her head, "There is no bullying in the army, this child should obey military orders, but now he is helpless in the palace, and only his father can help him, but His Majesty also has the crown prince, King Wei, and other princes. ”

"Always tell him not to fight with others, and don't be too ostentatious in front of people, this child is obedient and sensible......"

The more I listened to Concubine Yang's words, the more wrong she became, and there was a feeling of being lonely.

After saying something slowly, Concubine Yang stood up, "If you have any orders, just tell the palace maid here, the dormitory is still boiling with soup, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

Li Yue stood up and said, "Concubine Yang, please stay." ”

"I don't know what else Her Royal Highness has to order."

"If I have time, I will ask my husband to meet Li Ke."

"It's fine." Concubine Yang finally had a smile on her face and left alone.

After eating, Xiao Wu and the palace maid cleaned up here.

Li Yue said in a low voice: "I don't feel that Concubine Yang has malicious intentions, but it seems that she is here to seek a backer for her children." ”

"Well, our family can now be a backer for others."

"The husband is already a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, so naturally he can." Li Yue's little face was full of pride.

After resting for a long time, the couple began to sort out the books here, and there were many documents left by the former Sui.

I looked at the roll carefully, and every time I saw that my eyes were sore, I closed my eyes and rested for a while.

Li Yue came with a book, "Husband, look at this document." ”

Zhang Yang took it and looked at it carefully, "In the fifth year of the emperor's reign, the earth dragon in the land of Yan in northeastern Liaoning turned over, and copper ore leaked out. ”

This is a document of the former Sui, and this document has not been approved by the emperor.

Zhang Yang frowned and said, "This vault has been closed since the Wude period. ”

"That's what the palace maid here said."

Li Yue gave an exact answer, "But now Liaodong Yandi is very chaotic, after Yang Guangdong's expedition to Goguryeo came back, it became a place that no one cared about, the recent record is seen in the Chongwen Pavilion, in March of the eighth year of the Great Cause, the Sui Dynasty army arrived at the Liao River, and then it was the ninth year of the Great Cause." ”

Listening to his daughter-in-law say carefully, Zhang Yang was also thinking, "Where is the territory of the Goguryeo people?" ”

Li Yue shook his head and said: "You have to compare the specific classics to know that there are Buyeo people, Baekje, or Goguryeo people who collect ginseng in the four counties of Liaodong, which is very complicated, and you may be able to understand it when you go back and compare the classics." ”

With the help of the palace maid, this place was cleaned up quickly, and the huge left storage was cleaned up at dusk.

Li Yue deliberately found a few books and went home to continue his research.

The palace maid also brought a new lock, so she handed the key to Zhang Yang, "The concubine can come here at any time to read the classics, this is all ordered by the queen." ”

"Thank you."

Xiao Wu and Li Yue cleaned up.

Look at Xiao Wu, because of cleaning here, the clothes on his body are also dirty.

She whispered, "The new clothes that the teacher just made a few days ago are dirty again......"

Listening to the grievances in the words, Li Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, go back and wash well and wear it again, the teacher will make you a few more clothes." ”

When leaving the palace, Li Yue stopped in front of the East Palace, "It seems that the husband hasn't been to the East Palace for a long time." ”

"I just went there two days ago, and the prince went to the East Palace and was not in the East Palace."

"Fujun is now a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, one of the six Shangshu, so naturally it is not good to get too close to the East Palace."

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "It seems that there is no such rule in the court." ”

Li Yue continued to walk towards the outside of the palace, "That's not good, if someone knows that he will gossip, it will inevitably be talked about how the husband is attached to this prince, so he will sit on the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"What are you kidding, this official was given to me by your father."

"I don't know if Gaochang's cotton has been planted, and after I go home, my husband will write a letter to ask, and the factory will wait for this year's cotton to make cotton cloth for the next year."

……

In May of the seventh year of Zhenguan, spring planting ended, and more than 500 acres of land were reclaimed in the village for growing grain.

According to the mediation of Shangguan Yi and the county Cheng of Lantian County, 500 acres of land were obtained to grow grain, and the rest of the land was used to build workshops.

If the grain and straw taxes in a place are less, the county will not be able to account for it.

In order to pay taxes this year, it is necessary to plant at least 500 acres of grain in order to meet the taxes of the autumn harvest.

Li Yue sat in the village's account room, and there was a map hanging on the wall of the account room, which was more detailed, and many places on this map were circled, which was where the minerals were located.

"Xiaoyu, you take a hundred dollars out of the money box."

"Is Her Highness the Princess going to buy something?"

Li Yue looked at the account book and smiled gently, "This is for my husband's pocket money." ”

Xiao Yu answered the call to count the copper coins.

Originally, he was discussing construction matters with Samurai Tong and Niu Chuang and a group of craftsmen, but he was disturbed by an incident.

Lu Dongzan visited Lishan.

Li Tai immediately came to the entrance of the village with a stick, pointed at Lu Dong and praised: "This king will give you ten breaths, if you don't leave, I will break your legs now!" ”

Li Tai's guards were also eager to try.

Lu Dongzan saluted and said: "The foreign minister is here to say goodbye to Zhang Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Zhang Yang walked over and whispered to the little fat man: "Actually, I also want to beat this person." ”

"Do you want this king to tie people up and let my brother-in-law beat him as much as he wants?"

"Hehehe......" Zhang Yang smiled dryly, "If His Royal Highness the King of Wei breaks his leg, and this matter gets to the court, people will have an excuse to investigate our Lishan." ”

"Okay, wait for him to leave Lishan, and then do it."

"Okay, don't make a fuss, I'll go meet this guy first."

Lee Tae nodded solemnly.

Hanging up a smiling face, Zhang Yang walked towards Lu Dongzan, "Are you going back to Tibet?" ”

Lu Dong praised and said: "It has been a few months since I left Tubo, I miss my hometown, this time I learned Zhang Shangshu's methods, and I will see you in Japan, and the foreign ministers are competing with Zhang Shangshu." ”

"When you go back, you must bring our Chang'an specialties."

Lu Dongzan nodded, "That's nature." ”

Li Tai carried a stick and paced back and forth at the entrance of the village, "I don't know what my brother-in-law and this guy have to talk about, but I can still laugh." ”

Behind Li Tai, in addition to the guards of the Wei Palace, there was also a large group of children who also carried sticks, all of whom were boys from the village.

Since Li Tai became the child king here, he is very popular with the children.

As long as Li Tai gives an order, these bear children who don't know whether they are alive or dead will dare to beat Lu Dongzan to cripple.

Lu Dongzan sighed: "In the past few months, the foreign minister has recorded a lot of what he has seen and heard in Chang'an, and he must present it to Zampu after he goes back, Chang'an's prosperity and wealth make Tubo envious, in the eyes of your Guanzhong people, we Tubo is a bitter cold, and the foreign minister has a sentence to give to Zhang Shangshu." ”

"Good or bad?"

"In fact, in the bitter cold land of Tibet, there are also powerful generals who pull out the mountains, fearless warriors, and even more majestic Zampu."

Zhang Yang arched his hand and said: "I hope you can always maintain this kind of self-confidence." ”

Lu Dongzan nodded when he heard this, "Naturally, I will always have confidence, and when the Tang Dynasty fights with Tubo, the next time we meet, I don't know whether to fight Zhang Shangshu above the court, or talk to Zhang Shangshu on the battlefield." ”

"I wish we hadn't met."

Lu Dongzan smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, "You are the same age as Zampu, and you also have talents, the foreign minister admires you very much, the years are very long, and the foreign minister will always let people look at Chang'an City, and watch how Zhang Shangshu orders the Ministry of Rites." ”

Zhang Yang waved his hands, "I hope you have a safe journey and don't be beaten to death on the road." ”

The two said goodbye to each other, and waited for Lu Dongzan and his entourage to turn over and leave.

Li Tai stepped forward at this time, "Can you do it?" ”

Zhang Yang said wistfully: "It's only been a few miles away, His Royal Highness the King of Wei can't bear it?" ”

Li Tai nodded when he heard this, "Then send someone to catch up with them tomorrow, teach him a good lesson, and give my brother-in-law a bad breath." ”

"Then thank you King Wei."
