Li Baiyao saluted and said, "Xia Guan has never offended anyone in the Ministry of Rites. ”

Tang Jian took a deep breath, "Can you tell the old man, who is this Zhang Yang, and what do you like to do on weekdays?" ”

Seeing that Li Baiyao was hesitant to speak, Tang Jian explained: "In fact, when he was in the court, Zhang Yang recommended the old man to go to the Western Regions, maybe the old man also offended him somewhere, but he couldn't remember it." ”

Looking at Li Baiyao, Tang Jian said again: "The old man knows that there is a wine shop in Chang'an City that is very good, you and the old man can talk with the old man while drinking and eating." ”

Without waiting for Li Baiyao to refuse, Tang Jian pulled him out of the imperial city.

Zhang Da'an is eating food in the old position of the wine shop, he is used to the food here, and it is comfortable to eat in his own place.

Just as he was eating, he saw Li Baiyao and Tang Jian walking here.

"The drinks here are exceptional." Tang Jian spoke and beckoned the guy to drink.

Seeing that Li Baiyao also noticed himself, Zhang Da'an finished eating the rice in the bowl, a plate of mutton and a bowl of vegetable soup and left.

In a house in the alley of the East City of Chang'an City.

Zhang Yang is using the iron fiber he has polished to wear pieces of meat, including pork belly, mutton, and a few chicken wings, which are suitable for barbecue.

It's rare to have a barbecue, and Li Yue's interest is very good.

The time of the meal is always very energetic, and Aunt Yang hurriedly walked into the courtyard, "Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Changle are here." ”

Li Yue was sewing and mending clothes, and Li Chengqian led Li Lizhi to come, followed by a group of guards.

"Lizhi has been clamoring to come to see Yue'er, and the queen mother ordered Gu to bring her here, and her father will come over to see after dealing with the government."

Hearing that his father was coming, Li Yue asked the two aunts to clean up the house.

Zhang Yang greeted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just right, we are preparing a barbecue, do you want to eat some together." ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Although I have already used food, it is rare to eat your food, and it doesn't hurt to eat some more." ”

"It's good if the prince doesn't dislike it."

"How can Lone dislike it." As he spoke, Li Chengqian also picked up a skewer of barbecue and roasted it together.

Li Lizhi walked over aggrievedly, "Sister Huang, I don't want to get married." ”

Li Yue stroked her bun, "Did the queen mother and the father mention the matter of marriage again?" ”

Li Lizhi nodded aggrievedly, "Father doesn't know what's going on lately?" He always said that he wanted to marry me off and marry me to the son of an important minister in the court. ”

Seeing that she was about to cry when she spoke, Li Yue comforted: "Don't be afraid, if your father and mother really want to marry you to someone, you will come to the imperial sister, and my sister will take you to Lishan to see which of them dares to let you marry." ”

Li Lizhi pursed her lips aggrievedly and nodded, "It's better to be the imperial sister." ”

Seeing that Xiao Wu was doing the question, Li Lizhi said: "I have to do the question too." ”

"There's a question on the table, you can do it yourself, your schoolwork has fallen a lot lately, and Xiao Wu is about to catch up with you."

"Well, the disciple is going to catch up with Xiao Wu."

As he spoke, Li Lizhen and Xiao Wu sat opposite each other and continued to work on the question.

Zhang Yang put the strings of meat on the iron frame and looked back at the two girls, "Princess Changle is so young, do you really want to marry now?" ”

Li Chengqian explained: "Lizhen is only eight years old, how can she be allowed to marry so early, maybe the father and mother feel that Lizhen is messing around again, so they will scare her." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "I want to come too." ”

"You haven't been coming to the East Palace recently, and you don't have much interest in being alone in the East Palace, but Yan Shigu is very knowledgeable."

"Does Yan Shigu look down on students from poor backgrounds?"

"Lonely also heard about this matter, it is said that many of the current secretaries and supervisors are arranged by Yan Shigu, many of them are the children of businessmen or powerful people, and some people have said more than once that Yan Shigu misbehaved."

"Have you checked it in the court?"

Li Chengqian shook his head, "The matter involves Yan Shigu, and he is also the grandson of the famous Confucian Yan Zhitui, and his father naturally does not dare to let people interrogate him easily when he thinks of his fame, and sometimes he doesn't like his point of view." ”

"The DPRK is like Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenwen, their backgrounds are not good, they are also from bitter cold, there are many people like this in the DPRK, but they are all good talents who can govern the country."

"Did Yan Shigu ever oppose the imperial examination?"

Li Chengqian still shook his head, "Yan Shigu didn't mention it, but there are also people in the court who are very opposed to the imperial examination, and they still believe in the Jiupin Zhongzheng system more, and it is better to appoint and dismiss officials who are recommended by local county guards and squires." ”

"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that there will be any drawbacks to scholars who are sponsored by local squires under the Jiupin Zhongzheng system?"

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "I also heard Zheng Gong say that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has been inherited from the two Han Dynasty inspection system, which has been used for thousands of years, but all the officials elected by the counties and states are the highest in virtue and name, and the Zhongzheng people in various places decide who should be out of office and which people should not be out of office. ”

After thinking for a while, Li Chengqian continued: "However, over the past thousand years, with the accumulation of power over the past thousand years, there have been more and more cases of the gate valve swaying and controlling the local squire. ”

Zhang Yang sprinkled some pepper on the barbecue.

Li Chengqian preached again; "At that time, the family became a scholar family, they mastered the promotion of officials in a dynasty, and even the emperor had to look at the face of the family to act.

After listening to Li Chengqian, the barbecue was ready.

When the skewers of barbecue were served, Li Shimin also arrived.

The emperor's rice is justified, no matter whether he has eaten lunch or not, he can always sit down with confidence, and then as the emperor, he takes the initiative to pick up a skewer of barbecue and eat it.

Li Shimin took another sip of wine, "I have to say that your home-brewed wine tastes really good, how is this made." ”

Zhang Yang ate the kebabs, "I added a distillation step to make the wine taste sour." ”

Li Shimin took another sip of wine and breathed a sigh of relief, "I really answered that sentence and called him spring, summer, autumn and winter." ”

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter happen every year."

"This poem is really good, and it makes me feel that you have a feeling that you don't have talents."

"Your Majesty laughed, this poem is not written by me, but it is just borrowing other people's poems to enlighten King Wei, there are many people in this world who are worse than it, why care about temporary gains and losses." Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty thinks I am right?" ”

Li Shimin grinned.

Li Lizhi didn't dare to look at her father the whole time, she and Xiao Wu sat on the small bench and ate by themselves.

"You're right, if you care too much about temporary gains and losses, you will often lose the overall situation, and sometimes I have no choice but to take care of the overall situation."

"For the sake of the overall situation, does the father want to marry his daughter?" Li Lizhi is holding a meat skewer in one hand, like a fried kitten.

Li Yue comforted her and sat down again.

Li Chengqian hurriedly explained: "Father, she is still angry. ”

Zhang Yang stared at Li Shimin's expression, waiting for the emperor's reaction.

Seeing that Li Shimin also looked at him, Zhang Yang said again: "Your Majesty, Princess Changle is still young, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Li Shimin spoke slowly, "What I said about taking care of the overall situation has nothing to do with Lizhi's marriage, but I think that if you are also a person who thinks about the overall situation." ”

"Your Majesty laughed, I'm just a small person in the market."

Li Shimin smiled again when he heard this, "Your Lishan has a printing workshop, and there must be a lot of readers in Lishan now." ”

"Where do the scholars come from, most of the villagers in Lishan only began to read and write in their thirties, before they were illiterate, but now some children are starting to read, that is also very tiring to teach, a special wilderness, how can the children of Chang'an City teach so sensible and rules."

Li Shimin smiled, "I heard that your factory only prints storybooks?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Recently, I want to print some news magazines, or write about His Majesty's entrepreneurial road, which is also very good, and if it spreads, it will also be able to bring all the people to their hearts." ”

"Really? In addition to the Red Mansion, Xixiang and Liang Zhu don't have any other stories to write? ”

There are more strangers in the house, and the little bear is not afraid of the living now, it walks back and forth in the yard, looking at a few living people, but whenever these strangers want to enter its firewood house, it will also rush forward to resist without knowing whether it is alive or dead.

The final outcome is likely to be stewed and eaten by Li Shimin.

"I don't have any other ideas yet."

"Your barbecue here is really good, it's just salty." Li Shimin chewed meat in his mouth and said a little slurred.

Seeing that the conversation between his father and Zhang Yang seemed to mean something, Li Chengqian was eating by himself, and he didn't dare to speak at this time.

Zhang Yang said again: "It's summer soon, the summer in Chang'an City is hot, it's good to add more salt." ”

Li Shimin hiccuped, "The emperor of the former Sui Dynasty went to Renshou Palace to escape the heat in the summer, and went to Lishan to spend the winter in the winter. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "If you want to come to Lishan, the minister will not stop you." ”

"I heard that you are going to demolish the Lishan Palace, what else will I do, and when you rebuild your new home, I will visit."

"Your Majesty is always welcome."

Zhang Yang said on his lips, and said in his heart that you Li Shimin have drunk enough wine and eaten meat, so you should go.

saw that he was still sitting on a chair, and even asked the eunuch who came with him in the palace to pour a bowl of tea.

"From the days of poverty back then, you were able to build such a Lishan, you are really good, and now Lishan has these, I don't want others to get them."

Li Yue saluted on the side and said, "Father, rest assured, we will not give up the family property to others." ”

The emperor finally had a smile on his face.

You Li Shimin almost said that you are embarrassed to be an emperor to steal the property of your courtiers, since you can't get it, you can't let others get it, even if papermaking and printing only exist in a small workshop in Lishan, you would rather not expand the scale than go into the hands of others.
