Chapter 623 Mooncakes on a Rainy Day

Finding a relatively clean stone and sitting down, Li Zheng said to Zhang Gongjin: "Zou Guogong, I just threw the stone into a market. As for how many people will be drowned and how big the waves will be, I just want to watch the excitement." things."

Li Tai said: "Nowadays, there are many voices of impeachment in the court, especially Wei Zheng, who opposes the expedition. If this continues, maybe the emperor will also deny the decision to go to the expedition."

This is also very clear, Li Zheng nodded secretly.

Zhang Gongjin said: "Li Zheng, although the old man has not heard about the affairs of the court, but now so many people are vetoing the dispatch of troops, if His Majesty is under pressure, it is very likely that the dispatch of troops will be suspended."

Li Tai also said: "It's true that so many voices in the court are not good for you. Besides, no one knew about the negotiation between you and Tubo. Now everyone knows that it has become a mess. It was originally about two peoples at once. You, Li Zheng, are all in charge of the important affairs of state-to-state diplomatic relations."

"I didn't like it at first, and on top of that, you have made countless enemies in the court, so you will become the target of public criticism."

"People's hearts are sinister." Li Zheng said with emotion.

"Why don't you ask Wang Xuance and the others to withdraw, if the army in the center and the rear doesn't move, their more than 1000 people will go deep alone." Li Tai said.

"The people have already gone out, and the food and grass have also gone out, how can they come back." Li Zheng said, shaking the fan in his hand.

Zhang Gongjin observed Li Zheng's expression and said, "His Royal Highness, I'm afraid Li Zheng has already made plans in his heart."

Hearing this, Li Tai looked at Li Zheng suspiciously.

Zhang Gongjin also sat down and said: "In this world, there are too many swords against each other because of interests. The imperial power, dignitaries, and lords are all because of interests. Some are the interests of the royal family, and some are their own interests."

Li Tai listened respectfully.

"The little fox will not give up until he achieves his goal." Zhang Gongjin smiled.

"Could it be... I knew that you, Li Zheng, are not a person who will suffer." Li Tai said.

Li Zheng pushed Li Tai's face away and really didn't want to see his expression. It's one thing to be worshiped by a beautiful woman, but another thing to be worshiped by a greasy fat man.

"Li Zheng, do you have other plans?" Li Tai asked again.

With a long sigh, Li Zheng looked up at the sky.

Li Tai also looked up at the sky suspiciously.

"His Royal Highness, have you seen it?" Li Zheng said.

"I saw a lot of clouds." Li Tai raised his head and said.

"Yes, there are so many clouds in the sky, is it going to rain soon?"

"may be."

"Should I go back and collect my clothes?"

Withdrawing his eyes from looking at the sky, Li Tai looked at Li Zheng, "You have so many servants in your family, do you need to collect your clothes?"

The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, Li Zheng said melancholy: "His Royal Highness Wei Wang doesn't know something."

Li Tai stared at Li Zheng, "I don't know anything."

Li Zheng patted Li Tai on the shoulder and said, "I've done too many unconscionable things, I'm afraid I'll be struck by lightning, especially on rainy days, I'm afraid I can't just wander around outside."

Li Tai looked blankly, and saw Li Zheng standing up and leaving step by step...

Zhang Gongjin had another half-smile on his face.

Walking along the way, a few drops of rain fell. It is rare to have a rain in Guanzhong in autumn. Li Zheng thought in his heart that he still had to think about road repairs, so he really shouldn't go out.

"Li Zheng! Can't you find a decent one just because you're making excuses? Are you just prevaricating me like this!?"

Li Tai's unwilling roar came from behind, and Li Zheng quickened his pace.

As soon as I stepped into the house, the original drizzle turned into a downpour.

The whole of Jingyang was washed by the rain, and Li Zhi hurried home with his book bag in his arms.

Li Zheng came to the kitchen and began to prepare food.

Li Zhi was a little hungry just as he was leaving, so he walked into the kitchen and asked, "Teacher, what are you going to cook delicious?"

Li Zheng was making bean paste and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be around soon, and mooncakes will be eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Li Zhi said: "There is still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, teacher, what is a moon cake?"

"Mooncakes are eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Li Zheng pounded the red bean paste carefully. Mooncakes have a long history. There has been a custom of eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival for many years. I remember that eating mooncakes was regarded as a custom in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It should be recorded in the Warring States Period at the earliest, but the moon cakes at that time were used as sacrificial supplies.

Eating moon cakes is really a festival custom, and I don't know what started it.

Mooncakes are not difficult to make without too many good ingredients.

There is only bean paste stuffing, which is easier to make.

I have been busy for half an hour.

The skin of the mooncake was a little burnt.

The baked mooncakes are out of the pan, and they are eaten outside the courtyard watching the rain.

Xiao Sizi and Li Lizhi are also back.

The two also brought back a lot of wild vegetables.

Little Si stepped forward and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Just as he was about to explain, Xiao Sizi had already picked up the monthly pass and started eating.

"Actually, this is a moon cake." Li Zheng added.

"It's delicious." Xiao Si squinted and ate the bean paste, sitting on the chair with two short legs dangling in the air, enjoying it.

Li Zhi ate the mooncake and said, "I heard that the court has impeached many teachers recently, and there are many people in Chang'an who speak ill of teachers."

Li Zheng handed the mooncake to Li Lizhi, and said to Li Zhi: "Those people just said some bad things, don't make a fuss."

Li Zhi swallowed the monthly ticket in his mouth and said: "Teacher, do you think that the court will suspend the matter of helping Tubo this time? It is said that many people in the court are admonishing the father not to send troops to help Tubo."

Seeing Li Zheng's expression, Li Zheng looked at the rain scene in the yard and said, "His Royal Highness Jin Wang has been living in Jingyang, and few people come from Chang'an to Jingyang on weekdays. How does His Royal Highness Jin know this?"

"I..." Li Zhi was a little speechless.

"Brother Huang said it." Xiao Si took small bites of the mooncake.

Seeing that Xiao Si had already said it, Li Zhi had no choice but to compromise and said: "Well, it is true that Brother Wei Wang found me in the academy this morning, saying that he wanted the teacher to keep a low profile recently. He has made many enemies and offended too many people. Now, the teacher is almost the number one sycophant in the mouth of those officials."

The bean paste mooncakes were a bit greasy after eating too much. Li Zheng drank tea and said, "What a famous name, your teacher and I have another title, the number one courtier in this dynasty."

Li Lizhi sat aside and smiled bitterly, not knowing why Li Zheng was still enjoying himself.

Despite the wind and rain, Li Lizhi has become a little numb after so many years. Reputation is very important to many people.

But for Li Zheng, such things as reputation seemed out of character for him.

No matter how notorious he is outside, Li Zheng can always live his own life contentedly.
