Chapter 195: Drinking Tea

At this time, Nan Xianwen said that there were some differences between this Lao Jun Mei and the Lao Jun Mei who drank plainly, and the usual Lao Jun Mei was a kind of Lao Jun Mei, but today's tea is made of nine kinds of tonic medicines that nourish qi and benefit the spirit.

I took a closer look, and there were angelica, magnolia, licorice, deer antler velvet, snow ginseng, cassia seed, schisandra chinensis, astragalus, and I didn't expect it to be Coptis chinensis. You say, what did he do with such bitter things?

No wonder I frowned. I naturally wanted to ask him, who knew that he actually said, in fact, there is also the way of the monarch and the minister in this tea ceremony, in this nine-star moon tea, this gentleman is the old gentleman's eyebrows, and the angelica magnolia and other things are the ministers, I asked at that time, I don't know what the analogy of each of these nine medicinal materials is,

Nan Xianwen replied: Angelica magnolia officinalis has mild medicinal properties, just like the hard-working people, there are all the people who are not afraid of the scorching sun and cold and hard work, so that they can have a bumper harvest; licorice is like a shrewd and capable yamen officer, running around every day to maintain the township; astragalus is like a border soldier, year after year, and every month is sharp.

Braving the wind, frost, rain and dew, guarding the important towns at the border passes; deer antler velvet is like a military general, snow ginseng is like a civil minister, and the civil and military complement each other, so that yin and yang can complement each other, rigidity and softness, and the poor astronomy, the earth, and the reason. Wen Taowu is the official of the court, and there is a rumor of the official, and the government and the opposition are all things

Only then can they go up to the audio-visual, and only then can they listen to the people's sufferings; the schisandra is a literati and writer, these people, all their lives, chant the rivers and lakes, or use the past to satirize the present, criticize the current politics, or praise the prosperity and whitewash the peace, it can be said that the article and poetry are full of sweet and sour, as for the Coptis chinensis,

Although it is the most unlikable, and even makes people afraid when they see it, it is rare to conform to the way of the monarch and the minister, just like those courtiers who dare to speak out. When Emperor Taizong was in power. The emperor occasionally slacked off, and Wei Zheng immediately criticized and corrected unceremoniously,

Emperor Taizong didn't dare to sit crooked in front of him. However, it is precisely because of such an upright minister that Emperor Taizong was able to create a generation of glorious prosperity. Therefore, where is this tea, it is clearly the world's flavors. You see, there are all kinds of people in this tea, including the government and the opposition, the monarchs and ministers, the civil and military, and the people. It is not to be despised by men.

I asked Nan Xianwen, since this Nine Star Huanyue Tea is so profound and extensive, why have I never heard of it before, this Nan Xianwen said: In fact, this medicinal material is not difficult to find, they are all ordinary objects, what is rare is that this ingredient formula, how much tea with how many medicinal materials, are extremely particular. Don't be sloppy,

Just like all the things in this world, what kind of people do what kind of things can't be messed up in the slightest, otherwise it will definitely mess up the code of ethics, and then the world will be in chaos!" Relying on a little fame in the rivers and lakes, he recruited the gangsters. Claiming to be the king and hegemon, he doesn't take the government in his eyes at all, but adds some bad smell to the good tea of the Tang Dynasty!"

Tian Yangming hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister failed to share the emperor's worries, he is really afraid. Li Longji waved his hand and said: "You are in the center, and you are not an official of the people's council, how can I blame you for this matter." Don't panic!"

Then he sighed and said: "However, most of the local officials are low-level officials, and the strength and power in their hands are extremely limited, and there is no way to do it, if the local power and troops are too large." However, if the power is too small, it will be difficult to restrain the reckless intentions of the people.

However, if you have a good balance between the two, the folk customs, terrain, and products in various places are very different, and it is difficult to climb to the sky. If someone takes the opportunity to demagoguery and gather in the mountains and forests, the people of the world will not be able to live in peace, but at the moment, these people are just ringworm scabies, and they can't become a big climate.

This governing the country is the same as curing diseases, some diseases must be cured when they have just emerged, and when a minor illness becomes a major disease, even if it is cured, the human body will be greatly injured, and some diseases have to wait until they become a major illness, and then heal when the root of the disease is exposed, so as to get rid of the major troubles in the heart. So, I can't be careless about these people!"

Tian Yangming listened to it on the side, and felt in his heart that Li Longji's words seemed to mean something else, and he couldn't figure out who was alluding to in his words, so he naturally didn't dare to answer, so he had to make promises and vaguely agree.

Li Longji casually picked up a piece of shortbread from the tea table, broke half of it and handed it to Tian Yangming, Tian Yangming saw that the emperor gave him the cake, and quickly got up and knelt down to receive it, Li Longji gently bit down a piece of shortbread and said: "I heard that you have a distant relative, what is Liu Jinbiao, but is there such a thing?"

Tian Yangming was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Emperor Shengming, the minister does have a distant relative, this person is called Liu Jinbiao, he is from Henan Mansion, this person was also reduced to the rivers and lakes, and has done a lot of wrong things, and then he turned around and climbed to Weichen, Weichen saw that he had a heart to change his ways, so he entrusted Shi Liang, the governor of the salt factory, to issue a salt guide for him, and let him sell official salt to support his family......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Longji interrupted with a smile: "Okay, there is no need to talk about this matter, I have rich people all over the world in Datang, and there are not many illegal salt dealers, now he can wash his hands of gold, and it is also a good thing to do business seriously, what news does he have recently?"

Tian Yangming hurriedly replied: "Since this person has been running the official salt business, he has also strictly abided by the laws of the imperial court, and has never done anything illegal, but the people in the market are not allowed to be on the big stage, and the day before yesterday he asked someone to send a letter to Weichen, saying that there are people in his hometown who are competing to recruit relatives, and I don't know what he thinks.

He actually begged Weichen to introduce the masters of the capital to participate in the martial arts competition and marry his son, Weichen, as a minister of the court, how could he be distracted by such a child's matter, so he scolded the person who sent the letter. ”

Li Longji couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard it interestingly: "This person is really interesting, he wants to use the court officials to rob his son of daughter-in-law, but there is no need to scold, you are his relative, sometimes it is reasonable to help a little, after all, we are not immortals who do not eat fireworks in the world,

Relatives and friends still have to be taken care of. The more Tian Yangming listened, the more confused he became, he didn't believe that Li Longjigui, as the leader of a country, would care about such a trivial matter, so he boldly asked: "The minister is confused, and the minister dares to ask the emperor for guidance." ”

Li Longji said with a smile: "Do you know, why did Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty have to kill Guo Jie?" Tian Yangming said: "The minister only knows that Guo Xie is a famous hero of the Han Dynasty, as for why he is not allowed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the minister does not know."
