Chapter 722: The Washed Chengtian Gate

The outside world does have a lot to say about these things, and the king of Hejian County has always protected Lishan, and he has lived in Lishan for a long time and has not even returned home.

Li Chongyi let out a long sigh, and Li Tai, who was sitting on the side, also sighed.

"Why is His Royal Highness King Wei sighing?"

"Brother Chongyi, why do you say that after getting married, you don't feel as comfortable as before?"

Li Chongyi is also over twenty years old, and he smiled embarrassedly, "I'm not married either, how do I know." ”

Li Tai sighed melancholy again.

The quarrel in the courtyard was still there, and Li Xiaogong patted the case and said: "Chongyi is already a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, so it is enough, what do you want to do?" ”

"What does the old lady want? The old lady is not what our family wants to be good with. ”

Li Chongyi listened to his father and mother quarreling and covered his face in pain.

Li Tai patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Chongyi is very embarrassed." ”

Covering his face with his hands, Li Chongyi nodded and said, "Most of the Ministry of Rites has a lot of things to do recently, so I'll leave first." ”

In the courtyard, Li Xiaogong's wife said loudly: "Mother-in-law, I will also live here today." ”

The couple quarreled endlessly, and when they were talking, she was going to go to Li Yuan to complain and ask Li Yuan to uphold justice.

Li Xiaogong really couldn't stand it, so he had to leave people behind.

Standing outside the courtyard and listening to the quarrel between the husband and wife, Li Tai felt that this was an experience after marriage, and that the emperor's uncle's words in the face of his wife's various maneuvers should be listened to, maybe he could use it in the future.

Speaking of why the emperor's uncle stayed in Lishan, Li Tai thought of the quarrel between his father and brother-in-law at that time, of course, in order to keep Lishan, but also hoped that Zhang Yang and his father could be more harmonious.

After so many years, it is interesting to think about the various things that have happened in the past few years.

Li Tai walked home and said in a low voice: "In life, there are always so many joys and sorrows, what do their joys and sorrows have to do with this king?" ”

The guard followed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei is right. ”

When Li Tai walked to the door, he saw that his wife Yan was cleaning up the house, and like his brother-in-law's house, there was no one in his own house.

And the guards around him are all guarding Lishan, and they don't do anything like a subordinate.

Yan is the daughter of Yan Liben, born in a family of craftsmen, and is also a famous woman.

She can still do chores now, and I admire her a little, she should be delicate.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei." She saluted.

"Will your father come to Lishan on Chinese New Year's Eve?"

"The concubine has already sent someone to deliver the message, and my father has been supervising the construction of the Tai Liquid Pool these days."

Li Tai nodded slightly and helped clean up the house.

After the newlywed, the life of the Yan family was very good, and it was also beneficial for the Yan family to be able to marry the King of Wei.

And His Royal Highness King Wei is not as unbearable as the outside world says.

Originally, the Yan family was very quiet, and he rarely went out in Lishan.

At this moment in Chang'an City, Li Shimin frowned and looked at the letter sent by Lishan, which listed all the needs that needed to make fireworks.

"Even if you don't care about the rest, is the 300 feet of silk also used for fireworks?"

Li Shimin muttered to himself, his brows jumped, and when he saw the last thousand pieces of silver, he felt the meaning of the dagger, "This kid wants to use this matter to open his mouth to my lion!" Good Zhang Yang, don't think that I will be evil to you. ”

Empress Eldest Sun looked at the scroll in her hand, glanced sideways at His Majesty's expression, and said in a low voice: "This child is really ......"

"If I give him this thousand, this liquid pool will not be repaired."

Seeing that Her Majesty was annoyed, Empress Eldest Sun also had nothing to say, the relationship between this Weng and her son-in-law had never changed, she sighed: "It's really exactly the same as before." ”

The emperor didn't want to let go of his body, and he wanted Zhang Yang to make meritorious contributions to Sheji, and he wanted him to submit and be loyal.

Zhang Yang is a hard bone again, he doesn't eat soft and hard, and he has to ask for the price of the secret recipe.

Sitting in the Manna Palace, Empress Eldest Sun pondered again, it stands to reason that His Majesty wants to see the gorgeous scenery in the night sky, and Zhang Yang should do it.

But now Zhang Yang asks for so much.

I also felt that Zhang Yang was a little excessive.

Empress Changsun took a sip of warm tea, even if Zhang Yang was too much, His Majesty should not give anything to Lishan if he wanted a vision of the sky.

So Weng and his son-in-law are really the same kind of people.

I was a little melancholy and felt helpless.

Empress Eldest Sun said in a low voice: "Zhang Yang is a very shrewd child, he can use one coin for the utility of ten coins, in order to help the court solve the money matter, this child can always squeeze out the silver money from between his teeth to use for the ministries." ”

"At the beginning, I heard Lizhi talk about Zhang Yang's way, he used the silver money in July in March, instead of moving April and May, and after the money in March was used, he used these three months to collect the money, so turnover, a person who calculated the accounts and silver money between his teeth...... Such a person, His Majesty is unlikely to be good for talking to him about money. ”

The queen's words are right, talking about money with Zhang Yang has never been beneficial, and it is too difficult for this kid to suffer.

The queen put down the scroll in her hand again, "Your Majesty might as well give him all the materials, the court needs to use it in practice, and promise to give him a thousand yuan afterwards." ”

"The Queen's words are very good."

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and asked the eunuchs around him to prepare for this matter.

When the materials in the palace were sent to Lishan, Li Shimin kept a copy for himself, and there were sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal in front of him......

Boxes of stone powder were placed in front of him, and Li Shimin pinched some of them with his hands, "Is this kid using these to leave the firearms?"

Yan Liben was puzzled: "Your Majesty, I can't see anything special about these stone powders. ”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "If you can see that it is special, then the kid will not hand these over to me, he must have other recipes left undelivered." ”

Hearing this, Yan Liben said again: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei has sent a message that the courtier will take a trip to Lishan on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he can help His Majesty inquire at that time." ”

Whether it is firearms or fireworks, Li Shimin wants it, including everything in Lishan.

As for Zhang Yangqi, he will be hanged in front of Chengtianmen in the future.

For Li Shimin, this son-in-law's ability to benefit the society is enough, and his life or death is not important.

"Rebel! It's all people with two children! The way of doing things is still the same as before. ”

When Li Shimin made this decision, he did not forget to scold.

Then His Majesty took a sip of the tea, and his face was blue because of his anger, and he drank the tea to try to suppress his anger.

Tea is good, brown sugar is good, but Zhang Yang's kid is not good.

The thief didn't open his eyes and gave all these skills to a bastard.

This kind of person should hang him alive and sway in the wind in Chengtianmen, and that scene is also very beautiful for Li Shimin, well! It's beautiful.

Li Shimin even felt that he could arrange it earlier, and said to the eunuch on the side: "I have seen that Chengtianmen has been a little dirty recently, so I sent someone to wash it." ”

"Your Majesty, it's cold in this winter, and after washing it with water, it will condense into ice at night."

The little eunuch reminded him with good intentions, and when he saw His Majesty glaring, he hurried to make arrangements.

The court and the central government are resting today, and the officials walked out of the Suzaku Gate in groups of three or five, Li Yifu relaxed his back, "I used to remember that the court and the central government rested at the beginning of the month, why do you have to go to the end of the year now?" ”

Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is diligent for the society, how can we rest early." ”

Looking at the officials around, Xu Jingzong said again: "They can rest, our Ministry of Rites can't rest yet, the affairs of the envoys of various countries must be arranged, and the three brothers of Elephant Dasu Da'an are still busy." ”

This is different from what I originally thought, I don't want the Ministry of Rites to be such a busy official.

All the ministries of the DPRK and China have rested, and the Ministry of Rites has to prepare for this year's great court meeting.

In the early two years, the Ministry of Rites was still free, but now there are more and more things to be busy, the Hanhai Metropolitan Protectorate in Mobei has just been completed and needs to send officials, and the construction of the Metropolitan Protectorate in Tubo still needs to persuade Songtsan Gampo.

Liaodong wants to build the Andong Protectorate, and the Anxi Protectorate will send more troops and horses.

The repair of the Avenue of the Heavenly Khan had to be asked to the envoys of various countries.

All these things must be done before the beginning of the next year.

The two of them were walking when they bumped into Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao Guo.

Seeing Zhao Guogong stopped in front of the Suzaku Gate, Li Yifu was suddenly shocked in his heart.

First spoke: "Zhao Guogong's Liaodong policy has been decided, Zhongshu Province has reconsidered, and His Majesty has also approved it. ”

Listening to Li Yifu's speech, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Xu Jingzong.

Back then, Li Yifu was afraid and respectful in the face of Zhao Guogong.

But right now, this official uniform was obtained by himself who left Liaodong and worked hard in Goguryeo for three years, and he didn't owe anyone favors.

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, looking suspicious, "Xu Jingzong, I heard that the monk Xuanzang has repeatedly scolded you, what did you do?" ”

What's going on, what's going on? Li Yifu was puzzled in his heart, first looked at Zhao Guogong, and then looked at Xu Shangshu.

Monk Xuanzang? Who is Xuanzang?

Li Yifu didn't know the grievances between Buddhism and Lishan, and of course he didn't know who the monk Xuanzang was, but occasionally when he was drinking in Pingkangfang, he heard that there was a monk who traveled west.

Xu Jingzong bowed his head and said indifferently: "Zhao Guogong, the lower officials don't know Monk Xuanzang. ”

"Hmm...... The old man also listened to what others said casually, so he came over to ask. ”

After the words were finished, Zhao Guogong left, and the court was closed today, and many officials left one after another.

Standing still for a long time, quiet for a long time, Xu Jingzong sighed, "There are always people in this world who want to harm our Ministry of Rites. ”

Li Yifu wanted to ask but didn't know where to start, this Zhao Guogong said something about the monk Xuanzang very inappropriately.

Li Yifu, who is good at guessing people's minds on weekdays, is very confused, and in the face of the eldest grandson Wuji and Xu Jingzong, two people who are more foxes than himself, he is more and more confused.

When I looked back, I saw several eunuchs in the palace, who carried buckets to splash water at Chengtianmen, and then swept them with brooms.

Then a few eunuchs wiped the ground in front of Chengtian Gate with cloth in their hands, and then carefully wiped the door and door frame.

In the big winter, I am not afraid of the water on the ground icing and slipping?

Li Yifu looked up at the gloomy sky, the gate in this imperial city was the cleanest, and it was a little abnormally clean.

Chang'an City has been experiencing a gust of demon wind recently, and then the Chengtian Gate has been slowly closed, announcing the beginning of this year's holiday.

Li Yifu also walked out of the Suzaku Gate, since Xu Shilang said that there are still so many things to be busy, he can't be idle.

Lishan, Zhang Yang was very satisfied with the materials in the palace, and asked Shangguan Yi to arrange for people to unload the goods.

"County Marquis, this time Your Majesty has lost his temper again."

The air was still very cold, and Zhang Yang put his hands in his sleeves, "Really?" Why is Your Majesty angry? ”

The prince glanced at it reproachfully, "The county marquis asked knowingly, he asked for so many materials, and he also needed a thousand yuan." ”

Zhang Yang coughed his throat, "Then Your Majesty will always give me the labor cost." ”

The prince said again: "Of course, Your Majesty said to the empress that as long as Lishan can handle things well, he will definitely send a thousand guan after Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang took out his booklet, tore off a piece of paper and wrote a note, "This is an IOU of a thousand yuan, please ask Your Majesty to draw a charge when you go back, a total of two copies, we will each hold one copy." ”

The prince who took the note wanted to speak and stopped, "The county marquis is really ......"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "The family has to settle accounts, I have always been real, the verbal promise is not good, and there must be a painting." ”

"Don't worry, the old slave will be handed over to Your Majesty."

The prince solemnly took the IOU, took the two cabbages handed over, and left with the people in the palace.

Did the county marquis really want these stones for the vision of the night sky?

Absolutely not, the prince was determined, and even felt that Lishan wanted a thousand yuan less.

The county marquis should have more.

Making fireworks is a very boring thing, Zhang Yang folded several pieces of cloth together, made a dust-proof mask, and began to mix fireworks.

Today, the monk Xuanzang wrote again, and in the autumn, the monk wrote that he saw a leaf falling in Dunhuang and became enlightened, and the letter sent by people in this cold winter season, as well as a Buddhist scripture.

I don't know what kind of heart this monk has in An, he always writes letters to Lishan, as if he is very familiar with him, obviously he has never met.

Opening this volume of letters with critical and questioning eyes, Zhang Yang looked at the content of the letter, and the letter said that the monk Xuanzang asked: Why is no one bothering him now? Why didn't the original method continue to be used?

Then he talked about how strong his heart was, how merciful he was, and so on.

He also said that he must not have the intention of harming others, and Lishan's methods are his tempering, which will only make his state of mind clearer.

The words and gestures are arrogant, like jumping feet and provoking after victory!

Ruoer and others also feel that these means should be made under these means, they should read more classics and poems, improve their mood, send a volume of the Nirvana Sutra, and look forward to the Hou of Lishan County, if the county Hou can also be as enlightened as a poor monk, he might as well go to Tianzhu for a while.

This monk Xuanzang persuaded people to escape into the empty door and not die.

Since the monk Bopo came to Lishan once before his death, this monk Xuanzang felt that his cause and effect were related to Lishan.

Zhang Yang didn't even look at the Nirvana Sutra, he directly put it into the furnace next to him and let it burn.

"your refuge! your cause and effect! A certain family is upright! I am not afraid of all your gods and Buddhas, Xuanzang monk is rampant, and he will sweep Tianzhu sooner or later! And then turn you into relics! ”

Zhang Yang shouted and cursed, tore up the letter, and threw it into the furnace to make its flame burn more vigorously.
