People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 562 The Prince of Persia Comes For Help

"Wait a minute, we won't lose until the end." Li Tai said with a stern expression, and took a while to pick up his horse and take a step.

Xiao Si also raised a soldier correspondingly.

After a few steps, under the tangled expression on Li Tai's face, the chess game was checkmate.

The little Sizi grinned and said, "Mingda is going to tell Sister Huang that Brother Huang lost."

After saying that, Xiao Sizi jumped away and wanted to tell Li Lizhi the news.

Li Zheng patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I won't say anything when I'm young."

Li Tai tidied up the chessboard and said, "Actually, I lost to Xiao Sizi on purpose. I can't say that I, the emperor brother, bullied her."

Li Zheng sighed, "It sounds like an excuse."

Li Tai said in a low voice: "It's just coaxing children, don't you take it too seriously?"

Seeing that the chessboard has been packed, Li Zheng said, "Why don't you and I have a game if you have nothing to do anyway?"

Li Tai looked at the sky and said: "Looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain today, and Chang'an is coming to the rainy season, why not next time."

Li Zheng looked at Li Tai suspiciously and said, "What does playing chess have to do with rain? When His Royal Highness Wei Wang plays chess, it depends on the weather."

Li Tai smiled awkwardly and said, "Then what, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

Li Tai said in a low voice: "Princess Yongjia wants to invite Tang Xuanzang back, saying that she wants to help Buddhism."

Li Zheng washed a persimmon and said, "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Li Tai also picked up a persimmon and said: "Actually, the matter of supporting the Daoist sect was a decision made by the ministers of the court and the powerful people. The emperor also followed the people's will. My aunt just felt unwilling. The relationship between her and the Buddhist sect is so unclear, and now she is trying her best to help the Buddhist sect."

Li Zheng ate a persimmon and said, "According to the distance traveled, Tang Xuanzang should have arrived in Tianzhu."

Li Tai nodded, "People in the Buddhist sect are preaching everywhere that Tang Xuanzang is a man with profound Buddhist teachings, and he is about to become a holy monk. However, this man is indeed capable of traveling all over the Western Regions to Tianzhu by himself."

Picking up a persimmon again, Li Zheng said: "These people are smart enough, they have already learned how to pack it."

"Packing? What packing?"

"It's just a means. As long as Tang Xuanzang is described as a holy monk, he will definitely be admired by many people after he arrives in the Central Plains. First create momentum and then fool around."

"It's quite clever when you put it that way."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "Actually, this method has a fatal flaw."

Li Tai asked curiously, "What fatal flaw?"

Li Zheng put the persimmon skin on the table, wiped his hands and said, "No one is perfect, and no one can really say that he is a saint."

Xu Hui came with a pot of tea eggs, "His Royal Highness, Chang'an Order, the tea eggs are already very good."

Li Tai took one in his hand and ate it.

Back in his room, Li Zheng re-wrote the ratio according to the test records.

In the evening Li Yuan came over for dinner as usual, which was also strange.

Li Shimin is running Li Yuan and still wants to come here for dinner.

Thinking about the festivities between the two father and son, it is normal.

Early the next morning, Wang Ding came with Li Shimin's imperial edict.

Li Zheng washed up and said, "Have you eaten, Eunuch Wang? If you haven't eaten, eat some together."

Wang Ding nodded and said, "No need."

Li Zheng invited again: "I have done too much today, and it would be a waste if I can't finish it. Why don't you sit down and eat a little together."

Wang Ding looked at a table full of hearty breakfast, and he really didn't eat anything when he came here early in the morning.

"It's still not necessary." Wang Ding still waved his hand.

"It's just some home-cooked dishes, so why not be polite."

"That's all right, the old slave will eat a little."

Wang Ding was indeed a little hungry.

Li Zheng ate the porridge and the steamed stuffed bun in one bite.

Wang Ding sat down and picked up a deep-fried dough stick, "Chang'an Ling, this is..."

Li Zheng said, "This is fried dough sticks."

Wang Ding took a bite, "It tastes good."

After speaking, Wang Ding picked up another cake.

Xu Hui came with a bowl of hot porridge.

This bowl of wild vegetable porridge is also very appetizing.

Wang Ding ate mouthful after mouthful. Unknowingly, he had already eaten a large bowl of porridge, and he still had meat buns in his mouth.

After hiccupping, Wang Ding did not forget to say, "Chang'an Order, this is His Majesty's imperial decree."

Li Zheng took the imperial edict unceremoniously and glanced at it.

Wang Ding said: "Yesterday General Qin Qiong discussed with His Majesty for a long time, saying that a new piece of land was given to Chang'an Ling in exchange for the land of Gaoling."

After understanding the meaning of the imperial decree, the emperor's decree always beat around the bush. It is better to test the reading comprehension of the emperor's decree.

Li Zheng put away his will and said: "Your Majesty understands what Your Majesty means, and give me a new piece of land in exchange for General Qin Qiong's food, that is to say, the land in Gaoling was given to me, and the new land was given to General Qin Qiong?"

Wang Ding nodded, "That is indeed the meaning. There are some words that His Majesty did not write down in the decree, and let the old servant pass on to you."

Li Zheng asked curiously, "Anything else?"

Wang Ding stood up and said: "Your Majesty also said that since the land has been given to Chang'an, I will give His Majesty a reply on printing within two months."

Li Zheng nodded slightly.

Wang Ding continued: "Although His Majesty is escaping the summer heat in Jingyang, political affairs still cannot be delayed. Today the Prince of Persia has come to Chang'an to ask for help. He will come to the other courtyard to meet His Majesty this afternoon. Then I will invite Chang'an Ling to discuss it together."

Li Zheng drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl and said, "I understand."

Wang Ding bowed and said, "The old slave is resigning."

When Wang Ding left, Xu Hui took a few court ladies to clean up the dishes.

Li Zheng left the house and walked towards the stables.

Today's Western Turks are beating Tubo hard.

Tubo is too busy to take care of himself and has no time to take care of Persia.

The past two years in Persia have been worse than the past year.

It will be a matter of time before it is annexed by the neighboring small countries.

This time, if you can't count on Tubo, you will count on Datang.

Xu Jingzong was sorting out the information in the stables. Seeing Li Zheng approaching, he said, "Chang'an Ling, Princess Yongjia has been doing quite a lot recently."

Li Zheng took a look at Xu Jingzong's report and said, "Is there any movement from the aristocratic family?"

Xu Jingzong said: "There is still no movement as before, but the Prince of Persia arrived in Chang'an yesterday."

"I heard about it early this morning."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "I have met him yesterday, and I have talked to him both openly and secretly. This guy has a serious mouth."

Li Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong, "I haven't said anything yet, you have already done the work, Xu Jingzong, you are smart enough."

Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly, "I didn't say much to him, just a few words of greeting."
