Wu Zhao sat next to Li Zhi, Li Yifu was directly below, seeing Li Zhi's sad face, he also knew that this was a matter of wanting to completely break with Tubo.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but step forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, the minister suddenly remembered something, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Let's hear it." ”

Li Yifu recalled with a look on his face: "I still remember that more than ten years ago, there was an imperial doctor in my court, who was not weak in medical skills, and often communicated with Liu Shenwei and others. ”

"When General Cheng Biting Jin was seriously ill, the old men discussed going to visit, but the imperial doctor said that if the illness can be cured, he should inquire, if it can't be cured, why do you need to go again?"

Li Zhi was slightly stunned, and then frowned slightly: "What a snobbish guy, General Cheng is a general of the former dynasty, although he has resigned from his official position, he is also a hero." ”

"Who is that man's last name, I should know him well!"

Li Yifu said embarrassedly: "The minister hasn't finished talking yet, Your Majesty might as well continue to listen?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, and Li Yifu continued: "He just said that, but he went to see it after all." ”

"But what people didn't expect was that everyone was welcomed in, but he was thrown outside, and General Cheng said that the imperial doctor could come to see him to prove that he would not be able to die for a while, so he drove people away..."

Li Zhi was suddenly stunned for a moment, before he reacted, and then showed a wry smile: "Okay, you old boy, you originally wanted to make me happy, but you slipped your head." ”

Wu Meiniang also covered her mouth and chuckled lightly on the side, if it was Cheng Biting Jin, he would really be able to say this.

She couldn't help but look at a table below that was not too remote and not too close, and saw Li Yunxiao drinking tea alone with an expressionless face, as if she hadn't heard the joke.

Her eyes flickered, she had an idea, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say." ”

"Say."

"Today is a day of celebration, everyone here should be unrestrained, why don't you tell jokes one by one, and the monarchs and ministers have fun together, wouldn't it be happy?"

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Then it's up to Mei Niang." ”

Wu Meiniang nodded in response and told a more interesting joke, not only Li Zhi was amused, but even the ministers laughed.

The ministers were entertained, but one of them sighed again and again.

Shangguan Yi.

Since he entered the court, in addition to drafting edicts for the emperor, he has studied scriptures and calligraphy, so he attaches great importance to etiquette.

He felt that on an occasion like today, it was inappropriate for the queen to drink with the ministers, and he had to tell jokes in public, which was simply out of his understanding of the feast.

But now it's his turn to tell jokes, and in just a few words, he directly made the lively atmosphere fall silent, because it wasn't funny at all, and it was more like hinting to Li Zhi that the celebration banquet shouldn't be like this.

Li Zhi glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything.

Wu Meiniang saw that Li Zhi was unhappy, and this banquet couldn't let him be cold, so she took the initiative to say: "Actually, the concubine has a joke. ”

Li Zhi became interested: "You continue." ”

"This matter was heard by the concubine when she stayed in the East Palace with you."

"It is rumored that there is a person, named Zhang Huaiqing, who is average in learning, but loves vassal elegance, and often plagiarizes other people's poems, Li Yifu once made a poem."

"The moon becomes a song fan, the clouds are cut as dance clothes, and self-pity returns to the snow shadow, so as to take Luochuan back."

Li Zhi nodded: "I have known this poem for a long time, I heard it when I was young, and after hearing it at the beginning, I also thought that he was brilliant. ”

Li Yifu smiled below: "See laugh, see laugh..."

Wu Meiniang continued with a smile: "Zhang Huaiqing wants to keep this poem for himself, but Li Yifu is already famous all over the world at this time, and he must not dare to be blatant. ”

"So he added two words to every poem."

"The love of the moon is a song fan, the sex cuts the clouds as a dance costume, looks in the mirror and pities himself back to the snow shadow, and when he comes, he will take Luochuan back."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment: "It's a good painting snake to add enough, it's better not to add words, hahahaha...."

The ministers also laughed when they heard this.

A thin middle-aged man below echoed: "According to the law, the world's poetry and literature will be swallowed alive, and they can be tampered with." ”

"Definitely." Wu Meiniang suddenly interrupted: "There is a person's poem, he doesn't dare to change it. ”

"Oh? Who is it? The ministers were puzzled.

Wu Meiniang looked down and smiled lightly: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

All the ministers looked at Li Yunxiao together.

This is reasonable, that Zhang Huaiqing is not small, but the emperor's poems are regarded as masterpieces, and the other party has no reason not to know.

And why not tamper with it, I'm afraid it's because I'm worried that this guy will retaliate...

Li Zhi looked at Li Yunxiao and said with a smile: "Emperor, I invited you to come over today, why don't you tell a joke too?" ”

Li Yunxiao nodded: "Okay." ”

Li Yunxiao stood up, glanced at the ministers around him, and then said expressionlessly: "Yesterday, there were one hundred and thirty-three fallen leaves in the courtyard, and today's number is unknown." ”

The ministers were suddenly stunned, what kind of joke is this?

They are all embarrassed, to laugh or not to laugh?

These two sentences are obviously not jokes, they have deep meanings, but if you don't laugh, isn't it not good?

Some ministers couldn't hear what they meant, but Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi clearly heard the artistic conception in these two sentences.

Lonely.

Li Zhi slowly spoke: "Emperor Master..."

Li Yunxiao interrupted: "Your Majesty, there is still something to do next, go first, please take this picture." ”

Shout~~

The picture scroll on his waist was sent to the table by Li Yunxiao with internal force, and then he left the banquet with a step.

Li Zhi opened the painting, and a picture of the prosperous Chang'an night appeared in front of him.

"Is the emperor rebuking me?" Li Zhi muttered to himself.

Seeing this picture, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Wu Meiniang asked on the side, "Your Majesty, are you tired?" ”

Li Zhi nodded, and then waved his hand: "Everyone, Aiqing, drink freely, I am a little uncomfortable, so I will leave first." ”

All the ministers looked at Li Zhi, who had suddenly changed his appearance, and they all stood up and saluted.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

....

As soon as Li Zhi left, he returned to the Taiji Hall and looked at the scroll.

He knew what the emperor wanted to say, it was nothing more than to let the prosperous era continue, or rather, he recognized his talent.

Now that the woman he likes has been obtained, his uncle's party has been completely recovered or eradicated, but now in the prosperous world, he suddenly found that there were few courtiers around him who could appoint Sheji.

Wu Meiniang learned from Li Zhi's appearance, and pointed at him.

"What are you worried about?"

"Now that my Tang Dynasty territory is better than when Taizong was in power, the wealth storage is better than that of the previous dynasties, and the prosperity of culture and education is far from being comparable to that of Zhenguan, why do you bother to find yourself unhappy?"

"I just feel that there are no reusable people around me, such as those prime ministers, or Li Yifu, a guy with an oily tone, who is overwhelmed."

Wu Meiniang shook her head with a sigh: "Your Majesty, even if you are the Son of Heaven, you only have two eyes and two hands, and you have to do everything yourself and supervise it personally, how tiring is that?" ”

"As the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, if you want to find honest courtiers, there must be very few, according to the concubine, in this case, it is better to call in everyone, as long as there is talent, you can share worries for the king, that is a good courtier!"
