Li Tai gnawed on chicken feet and said inarticulately, "It's just that I haven't had the meal I want in the past few days." ”

The aunt put some spinach in Li Yue's bowl, and the spinach was all grown by herself.

Li Yue ate his meal slowly and methodically, looking at the fields in the distance, the grain had been harvested, and now it looked like the fields were empty.

After feasting, there is not much left on the table.

There was still a pot of spinach left, and Zhang Yang picked up one and ate it by himself.

"Brother-in-law, that person has already gone to Luoyang."

Zhang Yang nodded while eating, "Is the money still enough?" ”

Li Tai nodded, "It's enough, so far only five people have taken the bait, and they don't buy much sugar, I have asked my guards to step up to make sugar, and Lingnan's cane sugar has been sent a lot this year." ”

Seeing that his brother-in-law was so calm and composed, Li Tai wiped his mouth, "I heard that Lu Chengqing was arrested?" ”

"There are all human and material evidence, and there is still the life of a family of five, so the criminal department doesn't need to interrogate."

"The imperial examination is coming soon, and it is the time to rectify the rule of officials, and my father must be angry when something like this happens."

"It's not necessarily a bad thing."

Li Yue quickly put the bowl back into the food box, and when she looked back, the two of them were already in the village with Xiao Xiong, and Xiao Wu was introducing her to the things in the village.

For Xu Hui, Lishan is another world.

Zhang Yang got up and took his daughter-in-law to meet Doctor Sun first.

"Doctor Sun, it's idle today."

Sun Simiao was lying leisurely on the recliner, soaking in the sun.

He struggled to sit up and saluted, "I've seen the county marquis, Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

First, sitting cross-legged, Sun Simiao gave Li Yue a pulse check for a while, "If the old man's estimate is correct, most of the January of the next year will be the day when the child is born." ”

"Really?" Li Yue said curiously.

"The poor road is only an estimate, the pulse is very stable, and Her Royal Highness the princess is also very good."

"Thank you, Doctor Sun." Zhang Yang asked again: "Is there anything we need to pay attention to in our daily life?" ”

Sun Simiao stroked his beard and said: "It's not special, avoid being cold, you have to move around every day, as long as Her Royal Highness the princess is well-nourished, she will have the strength to give birth to a child." ”

Li Yue secretly wrote, "I still have to give birth to many children for my husband." ”

She said to herself, that was her goal, too.

Sun Simiao said with a smile: "If you want to have more children, then you must pay attention to your body, don't worry, Her Royal Highness the princess is still young, with the first child, it is best to have a second child in four or five years." ”

Li Yue calculated that in four or five years, her husband and herself were both twenty-six years old, and they were still in the prime of life.

"Don't bother the poor Dao and raise your spirits, the county marquis and the princess are at their own convenience."

As he spoke, Sun Simiao, the strange old man, lay down on the rocking chair again, enjoying the warmth at the moment.

"It's rare to have a sunny day in Guanzhong, and after these days it's the middle of winter, so it's time to enjoy the warmth." Li Yue whispered.

Sun Simiao waved his hand as a farewell.

Li Tai walked quickly, "Mr. Ouyang Xun lives with Grandpa Huang, and I will take my brother-in-law and Sister Huang to visit." ”

There are more and more elderly people in the village.

Walking through the ridge, it is the newly built house in the village, and there are three or two guards and attendants guarding the door is Li Yuan's house.

At this time, he was writing with Ouyang Xun.

The couple were not hindered by the guards and stepped forward to take a closer look.

"Grandpa Huang, someone is here."

Li Tai's words interrupted the two old men's Yaxing, and Ouyang Xun shook his head and sighed when he saw Zhang Yang and his wife, "It's a pity that the old man is wise and wise, and he actually fell for your husband and wife." ”

Zhang Yang was speechless and said: "The old gentleman's words are inappropriate, the matter was done by His Royal Highness the King of Wei." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has said that this matter was instructed by you Zhang Yang." Ouyang Xun put down his pen and talked casually.

The smile on Zhang Yang's face froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at Li Tai.

Today's wind has stopped, the weather is warm, and Li Tai is smiling very cutely, looking full of innocence and innocence.

It's like a stupid child from an honest family.

Don't look at him honest now, in fact, in the life of His Royal Highness King Wei, this is not a long time, full of right and wrong.

Ouyang Xun glanced at the scenery in the village, "How can a fourteen-year-old child of His Royal Highness King Wei come up with such a plan, the old man only realized after interrogation that these were your arrangements." ”

It's hard to be at a loss.

I really should have strangled this kid to death while he was still young.

For the sake of the little fat man or his own cash cow, I will endure it for the time being.

"That's it, let the people in the scholars outside talk about it, there are many people who have written these days that the old man is under house arrest in Lishan by you."

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "There is such a thing?" ”

Mr. Ouyang Xun's prestige among the scholars is naturally not small, but if Mr. Ouyang has any movements, he will definitely attract the attention of the people in the scholars.

"The old man sent a letter out, saying that he was coming to Lishan to stay for a few days."

"Could it be that the world is declining, and they still plan to besiege Lishan?"

"Naturally not, these people will only spread your Zhang Yang's name all over the country, and arrange you into a person who does all kinds of evil."

Li Yuan was still looking at the words he had written, "How are these words of mine?" ”

Look at what Li Yuan wrote is the word Wude.

I don't know if the old man is telling people to talk about martial virtues, or commemorating his martial virtues.

It's true that the older I get, the more I like to carry some mystery in my words.

Bowing to the old gentleman and the emperor, Zhang Yang explained: "I sincerely hope that the old gentleman will come to Lishan for retirement, and the air environment in Lishan is the best." ”

Ouyang Xun looked at Lishan and said: "Looking at the scenery here, it can indeed make the old man forget the trivial things in the world, it is a good place." ”

When Zhang Yang left with his daughter-in-law, Li Tai, the kid, pretended to be studious and asked the old gentleman for calligraphy.

"His Royal Highness King Wei is not a big person, but he will frame me."

Li Yue covered his mouth and smiled: "Lishan is going to be built, although our printing technology has the old gentleman's copybook, but after all, it is only used for copying, if the old gentleman can personally guide one or two, the printing technology can be taken to the next level." ”

Just as he was about to walk up the stone steps of Lishan, he saw Xiao Wu and Xu Hui riding a bear and chasing a group of dolls in the village.

Seeing them laughing, I was so unhappy.

In the palace, Li Shimin listened to Chu Liang's arrangements after reporting on Lu Chengqing's affairs.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guogong and Xu Yushi ask to meet."

Hearing the words, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Enter the hall." ”

Chu Liang had no choice but to stop his report first.

Wei Zheng and Xu Xiaode walked into the manna hall together and handed over a piece of music.

The eunuch handed the chapter to Li Shimin's table.

In the past two days, the emperor has not slept well, and he has been angry in the autumn, thinking that he can recuperate well in winter.

Unexpectedly, there was another incident with Lu Chengqing.

Opening the chapter and looking at the content in it, Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "Yushitai wants to increase the power of inquiry, and also report together with the community?" ”

Xu Xiaode bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the reason for Lu Chengqing's incident this time can be seen that the power of investigation is weak, if the power of investigation is strengthened, the officials can be restrained, and ordinary officials are just that, especially those with a big clan background, there will be many obstacles to the investigation, Zhang Shangshu inspired the lower officials, and this will be discussed with Zheng Gong." ”

Li Shimin put down the recital and looked solemn, "What does Gong Zheng think?" ”

Wei Zheng saluted first and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you can try." ”

It's Zhang Yang again, it's still him!

Since he returned to the court, I have not had a good day, and the smiling appearance of that kid comes to mind, imagining hanging him in the Chengtian Gate, broken into thousands of pieces.

"Then let's try."

Li Shimin took a sip of the bitter tea that dispelled the fire, and then looked at Chu Liang, "Dali Temple continues to track down the whereabouts of those silver coins, and it will definitely arrest those bandits." ”

Before Wei Zheng came, Chu Liang was reporting the situation of this matter, and he didn't know where the bandits were coming from.

The guy who arrested people before and came to Dali Temple is no longer in Chang'an City, and he walks very cleanly.

These guys have made arrangements in advance, do it together, arrest people together, and then quickly leave Chang'an City.

When you leave the city, you have to go somewhere to find the traces of these people.

In the field? Look at everyone like a bandit.

How else can I find this?

Chu Liang felt that he had done it as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, how should he explain it to His Majesty.

With a nervous mood, Chu Liang walked out of the Manna Palace, which was too embarrassing, and he wanted to go back to his hometown to retire now.

There is no such thing as petty theft, and it is such a tricky eucalyptus.

It's no wonder that Cheng Biting Jin said that Chang'an City was full of demons, but now it seems that this is true.

The last warm breeze of autumn also left Guanzhong, and the days turned to late November, when a heavy snow fell, and the prosperous Chang'an City seemed to be drowning in heavy snow.

In the streets and alleys, there is still a little smoke and fire under the eaves.

Xu Jingzong held a bowl of steaming mutton soup and drank it, "I know that this guy in Li Yifu can't do things, and he beat the son of the king of Goguryeo as soon as he arrived in Goguryeo, and this person is afraid that he will spoil our good deeds." ”

Zhang Daxiang was wearing thick clothes, wearing an official hat on his head and munching on a piece of cake, listening to Xu Jingzong's complaints.

The people who were sent to Goguryeo at the beginning were also chosen by him, and now that everyone has arrived in Goguryeo, what else can there be to say, he beat the son of the king of Goguryeo, and now he can still live in Goguryeo.

It is also a loss that the current Goguryeo general Yuangai Suwen is too powerful, and the king of Goguryeo still has to rely on the Tang Dynasty, and he does not dare to do anything with Li Yifu.

Zhang Dasu came in a hurry, "The mud Khan has arrived." ”

Xu Jingzong drank all the mutton soup in the bowl in one go, straightened his clothes, put on his official hat again, and stood up.

The three attendants of the Diplomatic Yuan walked out of the mutton shop, and a group of scribes from the Diplomatic Yuan followed.

In the wind and snow, the officials of the Foreign Affairs Institute were very conspicuous, a few wore official uniforms, and some did not wear official uniforms, mixed in.

Compared with the other government offices in the six ministries, all of whom were dressed in formal official uniforms, these people in the Foreign Affairs Yuan looked somewhat nondescript.

Walking quickly to the city gate, Xu Jingzong trembled, shook off the snow on his body, and looked at a Western Turkic soldier and horse in the distance who was coming here in the wind and snow.

When this army of soldiers and horses stopped in front of him, Xu Jingzong stepped forward and looked at the comer, "It's been a long time, mud khan." ”

"I haven't seen you in a long time." The mud man turned over and dismounted and saluted.

"Is the Khan here?" Xu Jingzong put his hand in his sleeve.

"He didn't dare to come, let a person who can speak Guanzhong come to Chang'an, and he can arrive a day later than us."

"At the beginning, I was separated, but now I see that the mud is thin."

"I brought a lot of dried fruit for you to taste."

"No need." Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said: "Recently, the DPRK and the central government have been strictly investigating the style of our officials, and if people know about it, they will be discredited, which is not good." ”

"Yes...... Is it? "The mud is very stunned.

Xu Jingzong said again: "This snow is so big that you go to the post house in the city. ”

Ni Yu beckoned his people in the Western Turkic dialect to turn over and dismount and walk into Chang'an City together.

Zhang Daxiang watched the conversation between Ni Yu and Xu Jingzong coldly, and they chatted very familiarly, and they were very close after not seeing each other for a year.

I also admire Xu Jingzong, no matter who he is, he can deal with it so calmly, whether it is from the Western Regions, Tubo, or even Nanzhao, he can talk to him, and he can comment on everything.

Everyone unconsciously quickened their pace in the wind and snow.

At the beginning, Ni Yu left Chang'an City alone with the important tasks and letters of the Foreign Affairs Academy, and traveled back to the Western Turks alone.

Now that he has arrived in Chang'an City, there are more than ten people around him to escort him.

Based on the current information in the hands of the Foreign Affairs Yuan, this person raised a force of nearly 10,000 troops and horses in the Western Turks to confront the Yehu.

This kind of person cannot be underestimated, and the Foreign Affairs Yuan will not do anything to raise tigers, let alone sit idly by and watch this person develop.

Xu Jingzong politely led people into the post house.

Now there are many messengers in the post house, whether they are from the Western Regions or Turkic, and there are even three or two Persian women who are still thinly dressed in this cold winter.

The Persian prince has been in Chang'an for two years, and he still wants reinforcements relentlessly.

In the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin and Zhang Yang sat under the eaves and watched the heavy snowfall.

The hall is full of children's laughter, this is Xu Hui's first time in the palace, and children of the same age can easily play together.

Li Shimin let out a long breath in the cold air and turned into a cloud of white mist, "Another year has passed. ”

Zhang Yang rested his feet on the side of the stove, "Doctor Sun has seen it, and the production will be in January next year at the earliest, and it will be February at the latest." ”

"You and Yue'er can know each other and rely on each other, and I and the queen are very relieved." As he spoke, Li Shimin moved his body and changed his sitting position, "I have to prepare for the marriage next year, and before I know it, the children have grown up." ”

"Your Majesty won't marry Princess Changle next year, right?" Zhang Yang asked coldly.

"I still want to find a son-in-law who is more capable than you, and I don't plan to marry her early."

"Well, Your Majesty is wise."

"Cheng Yanjin said that there has been a lot of trouble in Chang'an City recently."

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Where did all that money go?" The robbers were gone. ”

It seems that his father-in-law is still obsessed with the movement of that money.

"Isn't this matter being investigated by Dali Temple?"

"Chu Liang was going to resign yesterday, I maybe, I will call him back." Li Shimin sank his face and took a sip of hot tea.

This is really your Tian Khan's style, Zhang Yang thought secretly in his heart.
