Li Yifu said in a low voice: "Gongyu's words are right. ”

The Ministry of Rites arranged for painters to paint the Gauls, who were dressed in very little cloth.

Yuan Gongyu glanced at the portrait and said, "The man wears a skirt? It's still so short. ”

The beards of the Gauls were yellow, and their eyes were blue.

The customs of the West and the appearance of Westerners are written into the classics of the Tang Rite Department.

Walking all the way from Chang'an City, the three Gauls walked for a month and also arrived at the Hexi Corridor.

Now the Hexi Corridor is very lively, the Tubo people talk with the Turks in Guanzhong dialect, and the people in the Western Regions and the Tubo people also use Guanzhong dialect to talk.

Guanzhong dialect is now the most reputable language in the Hexi Corridor, as long as you speak Guanzhong dialect, your business can be good, and you can gain a foothold in the Hexi Corridor.

For many outsiders, learning Guanzhong dialect and Guanzhong etiquette has become a compulsory course.

It's just that there are also many people who are very lame in learning when they are older.

Someone else told Dickinson about it.

But Di Zhixun let it go, he smiled and said to the little officials beside him: "This is what the Marquis of Lishan County meant." ”

"Whoa."

Another small official hurriedly ran up to the city tower of Jiayuguan, this city tower was completed only two years, it sat at the west end of the Hexi corridor, like a thick high wall, people looked up and sighed.

The majesty of this kind of city pass is prohibitive.

And the road in front of Jiayu Pass is planted with poplar trees on both sides, and the poplar trees stretch for several miles, and I don't know why the Tang people want to plant trees, but I heard that there will be many, many trees to be planted in Guanxi in the future.

The little official ran up the city wall and into the tower, and saw Di Zhixon respectfully handing over the letter, "Di Shilang, your letter." ”

Di Zhixon nodded.

The little official said again: "There is another letter sent by Xiao Di Gongzi." ”

Di Zhixun picked up one of them first, opened the seal and looked at his son's handwriting, his calligraphy was better, and he also wrote his feelings in Chang'an City in the past two years, and he made many friends in Chang'an City.

The words were all about his growth, and Di Zhixun had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "This kid has grown taller now." ”

"Di Shilang, the court wants to summon you back more than once."

"Go back?" Di Zhixun shook his head and said: "The old man is still in the Hexi Corridor, and Renjie has Lishan to take care of it, so it's good, if you go back, the old man is a little overwhelmed, so he won't go back first." ”

At this point, Di Zhixun wrote a reply letter with wax, and said in a low voice: "The construction of the Hexi Corridor has not yet been completed, and it is the top priority of the Kansai Pass, and it is not safe to let others take over the county marquis." ”

Listening to these words, the little officials on the side did not dare to speak.

It seems that this Jiayuguan is not the Khan's, but the Hou of Lishan County.

Another small official hurriedly ran over and whispered: "Di Shilang, there are a few Gauls who want to buy mutton, and they can't speak Guanzhong and fight with people, they are from Chang'an." ”

Di Zhixun bowed his head and said, "Mutton? ”

"Yes, they want to buy lamb."

Di Zhixun glanced at the tea leaves on the table, and took out a cloth bag from under the table, the cloth bag was very large, and there were three or two catties of tea in it.

"These are these two years of old tea, and they are all given to the Gauls, and then they are given some silver coins and jerky."

Hearing this, the little official asked again, "Why did Di Shilang do this?" ”

Di Zhixun patted the letter on the table lightly, and said, "This is also the arrangement of the county marquis." ”

"Whoa."

Not to mention why Zhang Yang did this, Di Zhixun felt that he could just do it, and he didn't have to think about it so much.

"It's not a big deal."

"Di Shilang, it is rumored that the Gauls want to make peace, but they were rejected by the court, these people don't seem to be able to please the court, we ......"

The meaning of this little official was to keep Di Shilang away from those Gauls, so as not to affect the future.

With the merits of Di Zhixon now, after returning to the court, he will definitely be promoted in the court.

Di Zhixun bowed his head and said: "This is the meaning of the Marquis of Lishan County." ”

The marquis of Lishan County, the marquis of Lishan County, everything is said by this county marquis.

Even in the Hexi Corridor, the reputation of this county marquis is often heard, and people outside the customs not only respect the heavenly khan, but also respect the marquis of Lishan County.

Because of the incident of Songtsan Gampo back then, some people say that Tubo Zanpu and Lishan County Marquis are good friends, so many Tubo people are also praising the county marquis.

At that time, Gaochang Nu rebelled and dominated Gaochang, and they were also praising the Marquis of Lishan County.

What kind of person is that county marquis now?

He is today's Shangshu Zuocheng, who is highly valued by His Majesty and can create such social weapons as artillery.

It is also said that this county marquis has been cultivating in Lishan for many years, and he is about to become an immortal.

What do you say the county marquis has been doing in Lishan for so many years? It must be cultivating, cultivating to become an immortal.

In the southern border of the Central Plains, the bells flutter in the forest.

It was warm in the south in spring, birds chirped in the woods, and the old Cui Renshi sat at a stone table.

He didn't come here to be a monk, but remembered his friendship with Monk Huikuang back then, and came here to see it on the day of his death.

A middle-aged man walked over, he saw the tea bowl on the stone table, and said in a low voice: "The Xu family in Jiangnan Dongdao runs many tea mountains. ”

Cui Renshi nodded and said, "Young people nowadays don't like tea soup anymore, but only love this kind of fried tea." ”

"Your Cui family is now scattered?"

"Well, it's scattered, all the ones who should be killed are killed, and all the damned ones are dead."

Cui Renshi, the old man, said slowly.

The middle-aged man said again: "At your age, you have long been downcast." ”

His tone was a little heavier, and his eyes were still looking at the old man.

Cui Renshi sighed, the sigh was very heavy, and he was a little helpless but he was not complaining, and said: "The old man wants to keep Li Zhengzao, but he didn't keep it, the old man hopes that the seven surnames and ten families can be in the same breath, but they bite each other at the moment of crisis, and the old man hopes that when Fan Yang is in trouble, several other families can lend a hand, but when it comes to the end, each family only cares about themselves, and there is ...... Your father is getting weaker and weaker in the court, so you should pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Cui, for mentioning it."

"Hmm." Cui Renshi picked up the tea bowl and looked into the distance.

Xiao Yue is Xiao Yu's son, and now he is serving in Lizhou, when Xiao Yu returned to the Tang Dynasty, he offered many field houses, and then Li Yuan returned the field houses after gaining power, and Xiao Yu himself only left a temple.

Cui Renshi bowed his head and said, "Are you still in contact with Li Zitong's descendants?" ”

"Back to Cui Lao, I moved around yesterday."

"Well, it's better for you to move around less in these Jiangnan houses."

Even if the Cui family is dispersed, Cui Renshi is still a respected old man in Shilin, and he can be respected wherever he goes.

Li Tang's emperor still left this old man.

In order to maintain the stability of the situation, this old man walked around the family a lot.

He once wanted to persuade Fan Yang not to rebel and persuade them not to make mistakes.

But it backfired, and in the end it was still full of people.

Xiao Yue asked: "Find a place for Cui Lao to live in the future, and you can live in Jiangnan in the future." ”

Cui Renshi took out a piece of paper from his arms and said in a low voice: "This is the paper of Lishan, the paper that Monk Huikuang dreamed of, but he didn't buy Lishan's papermaking skills until he died." ”

Xiao Yue said in a low voice: "Monk Huikuang is too persistent, if he wasn't the monk under the seat of Zhiyi back then, how could the families in Jiangnan give him affection and give him so much money." ”

"Hmm." Cui Renshi's old face smiled, looked at the words on the paper and said: "Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant." ”

"Good sentence!"

"Well, it's indeed a good sentence, and it's a poem written by Lishan."

Cui Renshi put the paper in the brazier and burned it, and said: "A good one only has the fragrance as before, and the family poured Zhang Yang to write this poem, which made the old man feel ashamed, and the spirit of a hundred years is not as good as a person who is less than thirty years old." ”

After being quiet for a long time, Cui Renshi suddenly raised his head and said, "Is there still a wind bone?" They have long lost the spirit of the year, how can they be as fragrant? ”

Facing Xiao Yue, Cui Renshi shook his head and said, "The old man is gone." ”

"Where is Cui always going?"

"Let's go to Taihu Lake first, and then go to Lishan."

Xiao Yue took a step forward and hurriedly said, "Old Cui, don't you stay?" ”

Cui Renshi couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Don't stay, you also persuade Xiao Yu more, pay attention to your words and deeds, pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

Xiao Yue asked again: "Emperor Li Tang will deal with these families in Jiangnan." ”

"How do you know what the emperor will think, you take care of yourself." Cui Renshi continued to walk, and three or two small servants stepped forward to help.

In June of Guanzhong, in Chang'an City, the palace behind the Chengtian Gate appeared empty, and only three or two soldiers could be seen patrolling.

In the empty square of the Taiji Palace, no one dared to make a loud noise, and no one dared to stride forward.

This is the emperor's territory, and it is also the forbidden place for many ordinary people.

Standing in the distance, you can only see the Taiji Hall in the light of the day, the eaves are shining, and the door of the Taiji Hall is pitch black.

Li Shimin sat in the Ganlu Hall and scolded angrily with a piece of music in his hand, "He is still finished!" ”

A group of eunuchs and palace maids knelt on the ground, constantly kowtowing in the hope that Tian Khan would calm his anger.

Li Shimin was so angry that he walked back and forth, and said: "I will come to play the chapter in three or five days, and let me tear down the city wall!" Tear down the walls! Forget it once or twice, and use him three or five times? ”

The prince fell seriously ill and went to Lishan to recuperate.

Li Shimin felt that there was no capable clerk around him, he looked at these unsuccessful eunuchs and said, "Get out of here!" ”

Everyone was relieved and withdrew from the Manna Hall one after another.

Empress Changsun hurriedly walked in and comforted: "Your Majesty was tricked by Zhang Yang again?" ”

Li Shimin sat down, threw down the concerto, and said in an urn: "How positive do I think he Zhang Yang is?" In three or five days, he sent me a piece of music, but every day he said the same thing. ”

"Maybe he's worried that His Majesty won't see it?"

"I must bow down to my own affairs, how dare I slack off on political affairs." Li Shimin was much quieter in front of Empress Changsun, and the anger in his heart was also soothed.

You were angry when you saw Your Majesty, and the eunuchs and palace maids outside the palace all breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was a queen.

Li Shimin stroked his forehead painfully and said in a low voice: "Now every time I eat, there is always one thing echoing in my mind, whether to demolish the city wall, every time I dream I can see Zhang Yang hanging in front of Chengtian Gate!" ”

Empress Changsun didn't know whether to laugh or be worried, "Your Majesty gave Lishan a recital, and said that you know?" ”

"I'm back! It didn't work! He still writes every day! ”

Li Shimin's tone was a few points higher.

Empress Eldest Sun covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then he is not allowed to write any more chapters, at least not recently." ”

He ...... Alas! Li Shimin sat up and said in a low voice: "I hope he can be attentive to Sheji, Lishan's recitals are all sent directly to me by Zhongshu Province, for fear of missing something, this kid has the ability to hide in his stomach, I want to hang him to death, cut open his belly, and see how many hearts and livers he has." ”

Empress Changsun didn't dare to think about that scene, and said, "Your Majesty should be more recuperated in the near future." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, pass on my message, recently there is something to pass on from generation to generation, and no more chapters are allowed to be written." ”

"Whoa."

As soon as he spoke, Li Shimin instructed again: "There is no need to talk about this matter with others. ”

The DPRK still has to admonish the central government, but it is limited to Zhang Yang alone, otherwise everyone knows that His Majesty does not like to play the chapter, and there will inevitably be misunderstandings.

It's not just the emperor who is upset.

There is also this county marquis of Lishan, and there is an old man sitting in front of him, this old man is an important person in the original seven surnames and ten families, Cui Renshi.

The old man was looking at himself with a strange smile, and it was hair-making to look at.

The railway project in Lishan is in full swing, and as for the steam train, Li Tai and Yan Liben are tackling key problems, but they have not succeeded so far.

The car has not yet been built, and the railway cannot be delayed.

Zhang Yang frowned and said: "When I came down to see you, it was because of the emperor's instructions, and his old man said that you revised the history of Liang Wei back then, although you are at odds with the old master Kong Yingda, but you are also a well-educated bachelor, and you have a high status in Shilin." ”

Cui Renshi stroked his beard and said: "In front of the county marquis's literary brilliance, the old man does not dare to be praised like this. ”

Zhang Yang kept shaking the fan in his hand, and said: "I mean to see you below, but it is really a last resort, and I am a rough person who should not be literate." ”

"Your poems are enough to be passed down to the next generation."

"You're joking, those poems were taught by the teacher back then, not by me." Zhang Yang pointed to the distance and said: "Have you seen it, so many of us in Lishan are busy building a half-mile railway in the next month, and I will continue to be busy, you make a long story short." ”

"Oops......" Cui Renshi's old face was confused: "Some people say that the old man who came to Lishan from Jiangnan for thousands of miles will most likely die on the road, and finally arrived at Lishan, but was neglected by your kid." ”

"And what do you want to say?"

"Does the county marquis think the family should fall?"

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "It is the people of the world who overthrow the family, it is the thousands of people, not me, if they are doomed, it is also the choice of thousands of people, it is the choice of this era." ”

"You have also seen it, Tian Khan is a righteous person, rewards and punishments are clear, as the eldest brother Tian Khan received the Western Regions, Tubo was the younger brother, and the emperor was able to govern the society, so that the figure should be admired, and all countries will come to the court."

"That family has done a lot of evil, and the world spits on it, so it will naturally be uprooted, and the truth is clear."

Cui Renshi sat silent for a long time, he drank the tea in the bowl and said in a low voice: "You young people always think about things in the world. ”

"Old man, my teacher Zhang Gongjin is a very pessimistic person and a very realistic person, but I think people always have a good heart."
