Chapter 515: Zhenguan Cai
Today's Tian Khan was particularly arrogant, and he waved his sleeves and said, "Serve the wine, and give you a taste of the cabbage I brought from Lishan."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cui Yixuan, who was standing behind Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, today's old man is here to discuss with Zhang Yang, the Zhongshu Duzhilang."
Li Shimin first sat down cross-legged and said with a smile: "Try the cabbage first, and then it's okay."
The three or two palace maids brought the wine and food to the table, Zhang Yang glanced at the dishes, the cabbage was boiled in water, and there were some oil flowers.
Gao Shilian picked up the fast seed and tasted it, and commented: "This dish tastes a little crispy and has a sweet taste, which is very good."
Li Shimin stroked his beard and said: "I went to Lishan to escape the summer, and I harvested a lot, this cabbage is easy to grow, and it can still grow in the winter, and it is also good to have a sweet and sour taste after pickling."
Gao Shilian nodded and said, "I don't know where this dish comes from?"
Seeing Li Shimin looking at him, Zhang Yang saluted slightly, "I bought it from a few Persian merchants, but I was lucky to leave a cabbage sum, so I didn't expect it to be able to grow alive, in fact, there is also an account of it in ancient books, if it is cold and frosty, it tastes better."
The eldest grandson Wuji chewed carefully, "Guanzhong lacks such vegetables, and the ministers congratulate the villagers of Guanzhong."
Li Shimin's face smiled with a loving fatherly smile, "I call it Zhenguan Cai."
Okay, you're a heavenly khan, it's obviously a vegetable grown in Lishan, so you won the name Zhenguan cuisine.
Zhang Yang looked at it again, and the emperor was still secretly having fun.
"I went to Lishan to farm and harvest wheat, and I also talked to some old farmers, and then I discovered the method of salting duck eggs."
Zhang Yang interjected, "Your Majesty, change your name to Zhenguan Egg."
Li Shimin turned his head and glanced at him in confusion, with a displeased expression, "Salted duck eggs are salted duck eggs."
"The minister just said it casually." Zhang Yang regained his footing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost the same, Gao Shilian said: "Lishan's chat, the old minister has been taught, and Zhang Shilang can write a book like this, which is admirable."
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "Xu Guogong doesn't dare to take this word seriously, the book is written by a gentleman named Pu Songling, this person is good to listen to and inquire about some strange things, so he has this book, and he just writes it down."
The eldest grandson Wuji said again: "Mr. Zuo Shilang Cui has a lot of opinions on this book."
Cui Yixuan sat upright, he lowered his head slightly and stroked his gray beard, "The old man is a member of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and he has read thousands of books in this life, and there are countless classics and miscellaneous books, dare to ask Zhang Shilang, what is your intention in writing this book."
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
An old gentleman named Pu Songling wrote it, and it was not written by his subordinates."
Cui Yixuan closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The old man made friends with famous people in the world back then, and he has never heard of Pu Songling."
"Really? It could be that he is an old man who is not good at making friends."
"No matter who comes from it, this book will be circulated in the people because of Lishan, and the classics of the past dynasties are all based on the way of the gentleman, and the majesty and righteousness of this heaven and earth cannot tolerate the charm and the ghost."
"That's what the old gentleman said." Zhang Yang smiled.
Cui Yixuan finally opened his cloudy eyes, and the old man said that his breath was a little uncomfortable when he was excited, "You are still young, you should read more classics of the sages, when the old man studied hard for decades to understand the truth of how to behave in the world, if the old man is as young as you, he should follow the example of the sages who wrote books for the world, instead of writing such absurd stories and misleading the world."
The atmosphere on the stage was very bad, and Li Shimin's face was not good-looking.
However, all the people present were from the palace, and the crown prince was on the side, and the emperor did not squeak, but just drank tea silently with a calm face.
"What the old gentleman said is that the gap between the old gentleman and the old gentleman when he was young is not half a point, the old gentleman is very knowledgeable, and what he has learned in the lower is only flesh and blood."
Cui Yixuan nodded pertinently after hearing this, "If the old man knew you before, he would definitely take you under the door and teach you well."
Glancing at the emperor's face, Zhang Yang was about to laugh again, digging the foot of the wall in front of Li Shimin, this old Mr. Cui didn't seem to want to live.
Clearing his throat again, Zhang Yang sighed, "It's a pity!"
Cui Yixuanhu wondered, "What is a pity?"
"It's not that you don't know the character of the underneath, everyone in Chang'an City knows that I, Zhang Yang, am a demon who behaves strangely, how dare I worship the old man."
"Yes...... You have also missed your age, and you are an important minister in the court, so naturally you can no longer worship in the Qinghe lineage." Cui Yixuan also sighed, "The old man came to preach with you today, can you be convinced?"
Zhang Yang grinned, "I'm too convinced, I preach well, I say it smartly, I admire it too much."
These words made Cui Yixuan a little stunned, he thought it would be a fierce argument, and he was even ready to fight with this demon, but the other party was so humble that he punched the cotton.
I can't help but ask in my heart, is he usually so humble and polite?
Zhang Yang poured him a drink, and the old gentleman said, "The old gentleman's preaching made me feel like an initiation, why did you go earlier?"
Cui Yixuan wanted to speak and stopped, yes...... Why did you go earlier?
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "It's a good thing that the juniors and juniors can negotiate like this, and we should drink this cup together."
Li Shimin raised his glass and said, "Drink a lot."
On this platform, everyone has different thoughts, and the eldest grandson Wuji wants to appease the Zhushi clan, and at the same time that His Majesty wants to complete the grand cause, stabilize the family and don't let them make trouble.
Gao Shilian was sitting at the moment, his eyes shaking between Cui Yixuan and Zhang Yang.
They are all old foxes, and they are all human spirits who have lived into human beings.
Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "The younger generation should consult with the old gentleman more, and they should move around more in the future."
Cui Yixuan laughed loudly: "The old man hopes that you will not write any more books in the future, and you should study more of the classics of the former sages and read more of Confucius and Mencius."
He poured wine for the old man again, and after a few glasses of wine, the old gentleman's cheeks were already red, and it seemed that the amount of wine was not very good.
Zhang Yang held the wine glass in both hands, "I have this intention, I shouldn't dare to write a book at a young age and mislead the world."
Drinking all the wine in the cup, Zhang Yang put down the wine glass, "Old man, I am still young, and my virtue is not worthy, and my reputation is a burden for me, if I can take this burden down now, and get the guidance of my predecessors, I will be even more fortunate in the future."
"Okay, with this insight, the old man is here in vain."
Li Yue stood behind the curtain and listened to her husband and this old gentleman talking happily, and her heart became more and more puzzled, with her husband's temperament should not be like this.
Every time the husband does something abnormal, someone is going to be unlucky.
The eldest grandson of the Emperor
Later, he asked, "This old gentleman has never been reused by your father, especially the Qinghe family."
Li Yue frowned and said, "Look at the husband and this old gentleman talking happily."
At the wine table, Zhang Yang was teaching Zhao Guogong, Gao Shilian, and Cui Yixuan to draw boxing.
Li Shimin looked curious, and there was still some disdain in his eyes, drinking is a solemn thing, how can it be so funny.
Cui Yixuan was also drunk, and the eldest grandson Wuji helped him leave.
Before leaving, Gao Shilian stared at Zhang Yang, and then looked at the laughter and laughter of the generals of the noble clan under the platform, "Everyone is drunk, only you are still sober."
Zhang Yang propped his head, "Xu Guogong said that he was laughing, in fact, I was also drunk."
"Hehe, you're the most sober one." After Gao Shilian finished speaking, he saluted His Majesty again, "The old minister retires."
Li Shimin said to the prince: "Send Xu Guogong."
"Why?"
Seeing the people being sent away, Li Shimin put down the wine bottle in his hand, "In this conversation, you seem to be going to call Cui Yixuan a brother."
Zhang Yang put away his expression, and his face was about to stiffen with laughter.
"All of you are old foxes, what can you do? They say whatever they say, and Your Majesty won't help me anyway."
Li Shimin looked into the distance in a deep voice, from this building, he could see the scenery of Qujiang Pond at a glance, "It's not early, I should go back, and don't delay tomorrow morning."
"The Minister's Command."
His Majesty left with the family, and Zhang Yang followed him downstairs to say goodbye.
The guests here have not dispersed, and they have celebrated, anyway, His Majesty is begging for money.
On the way home, Li Yue asked, "That old gentleman is obviously here to bully people, why does the husband still greet him in every way?"
Zhang Yang smiled, "Do you remember what is written in the diary of a madman?"
"Cannibalism?"
"Think Again......
Li Yue suddenly thought of something, and whispered, "Today's matter will definitely spread all over Chang'an City, and the husband is too bad."
"The more they do that, the more scared they are." Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "The more scared they are, the more we can't stop."
Li Yue instructed Aunt Wang: "Aunt Troublesome will take the madman's diary to Chang'an City tomorrow to sell, as for the few volumes of Liaozhai, keep it first, and then sell it slowly."
"Why?"
Zhang Yang promised Cui Yixuan not to write anymore, and the matter of no longer writing about Zhai spread all over Chang'an City.
In the face of Cui Yixuan saying that he was not worthy of virtue and talent, this matter spread in various cities in Chang'an City.
Pei Xingjian likes to sit at the door of the Foreign Affairs Yuan when he has nothing to do, watching the pedestrians coming and going, "I have never seen Zhang Shangshuqi, but I can often hear his deeds."
Xue Rengui held the scroll in his hand, "That's true."
Pei Xingjian glanced at him helplessly, since Brother Xue entered the Foreign Affairs Academy, he couldn't let go of the scroll and almost became a bookworm.
He failed twice in the imperial examination, which hit him too hard, and now he is determined to become a person who is both civil and military.
In the morning of the next day, Zhang Yang, who had not been in court for a long time, almost missed the hour and hurried into the Taiji Hall before His Majesty came.
The biological clock during the summer vacation has not yet been adjusted, and watching Li Shimin walk into the court, Zhang Yang has not slept enough.
After standing in place and following the ministers to shout, drowsiness struck.
Zhang Yang stood in place with his eyes closed, and in his sleep he was sitting on a tank, and he bombarded Chang'an City with one shot.
"Zhang Shilang?"
Hearing a call, the dream shattered......
Zhang Yang opened his eyes and looked at the crown prince, "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the crown prince."
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, and it was not good to say that Zhang Yang slept on the first day of the early dynasty, and he was not the only one who slept in the early dynasty.
General Cheng bit Jin Da and General Li Daliang, both of whom were still asleep in place.
Zhang Yang lifted his spirits, "What did the prince call me for?"
"Father Emperor asked Zhang Shangshu to go down to the Manna Hall to discuss matters."
Lifting the spirit, Zhang Yang again
The official uniform was reorganized.
Li Chengqian sighed: "Come with the loneliness."
"Why?"
Following the footsteps of the crown prince, Zhang Yang looked back at the hall, General Cheng Daliang and General Li Daliang were profound, and they could sleep peacefully in the court.
If it weren't for Xu Jingzong's cover, how could he sleep so comfortably.
All the way to Hanfeng Palace, at first glance there are still a lot of people here, General Wei Chigong, General Niu Jinda, Zheng Gong, Fang Xiang, Zhao Guogong.
The people on both the civil and military sides are all together.
Li Shimin said loudly: "I'm sending you, take a seat."
"Why?"
Zhang Yang walked to the chair next to the prince and sat down, seeing that the prince had no seat, he gave a reassuring look and stood aside quietly.
Fang Xuanling said, "Your Majesty, General Li Ji has taken the Xue Yantuo tribes, the Yinan Khan has returned to his hometown, and the pseudo-Khan has fled to the Uighurs, and has been taken in by the Uighur Khan."
Li Shimin nodded and continued.
"Li Ji has already won a big victory in this battle, but Yinan Khan plans to borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty to attack the Uighurs."
The Uighurs were located north of Xueyantuo, south of Lake Baikal, and Zhang Yang thought that the territory could be regarded as a large country in the north, and further north was Maozi.
The Uighurs bordered the Yinli River to the west, and since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Uighurs have also made enmity with the Turks through their feud with Ashina.
The grievances are quite entangled.
Niu Jinda stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to lend troops to the Nayi Nan Khan, you only need to give 2,000 soldiers and horses to the last general, and you can destroy the Uighurs!"
Fang Xuanling persuaded, "The Uighurs are far away from Guanzhong, passing through the Turks and Xue Yantuo, and the autumn is in Guanzhong, and the north is freezing cold."
Niu Jinda said again: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are not afraid of the cold."
Li Shimin nodded with a look of appreciation, "My generals have such a heart, why worry about it!"
"Alas......
There was a discordant voice in this conversation, and everyone looked at Zhang Yang, who was sighing.
Li Shimin bowed his head and said, "What is Zhang Shilang's opinion?"
"Your Majesty, do you know how much food this Xue Yantuo spent in the first battle?"
"How much?"
Zhang Yang put his sleeves in front of his knees, "General Li Ji took 50,000 generals and traveled a long way, using 2,000 stones of grain and grass, and people ate horses and chewed them!" How much does this battle cost?"
Li Shimin leaned back in his chair and frowned, "The Uighurs dare to take in Xue Yantuo's pseudo-khan Bazhuo, and as a heavenly khan, I can't sit idly by."
Zhang Yang's face was melancholy, "Heh, no money."
