The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 703 Unexpected surprise
Since the fish were released in the Guantian, it has become the busiest place every day. No matter who it is, as long as they have time, they must go to the Guantian to see if the fish are dead.

The people of Wannian County are even more concerned about this matter, and some people even visit it every day before leaving satisfied.

The fish has been living very well in the rice fields. Although it is struggling with life and death every day, it is still alive anyway, and it seems to be a little bigger.

Magistrate Tang would also go to see it once a day, and every time he saw it, he would let out a long sigh of pain and happiness. If the fish didn't die, then he would be the one who died.

Mrs. Tang looked at the tangled old man, and couldn't help persuading him: "Old man, admit defeat, you can't beat Prince Xiaoyao."

But Old Tang was stubborn enough, even though he already had a premonition in his heart, he still insisted: "No, keep raising them, the old man wants to see if those fish can live for a year, and whether they can grow up. "

"Hey, why are you so stubborn? Xiaoyao Wang invented so many things. When did you see him really make a mistake? What good will it do you if you continue?"

"What do you know as a woman, I just want to be responsible to the people under my rule, what's wrong with this, is there something wrong!"

"That's right, you're right, you know a lot, let's do it." Mrs. Tang, who was well-intentioned and treated like a donkey, rolled her eyes and left angrily, leaving Magistrate Tang sitting there alone and sighing.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Xiao Tang appeared at the door of the room, the youngest son of Tang County Magistrate. He glanced at the unhappy old man, opened his mouth hesitantly, but said nothing.

County magistrate Tang gave his son a cold look, and showed his father's prestige: "Why, you also come to see my jokes?"

"That, no." Xiao Tang shook his head, leaned behind the old man, slapped his father on his shoulders, and after a while he tentatively said: "Father, my son wants to go to Xiaoyao Palace to find an errand."

Old Tang's body suddenly froze while sitting there, and just when Xiao Tang thought the old man was about to throw a tantrum and was about to run away, he heard him say, "Have you really decided?"

Xiao Tang didn't run away, and he didn't dare not answer his father's question, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "My son..., my son just wants to hear my father's opinion."

To Xiao Tang's surprise, Old Tang didn't stop him. He just sighed and said leisurely: "You don't have to think about this matter. Although you have a bet with King Xiaoyao as a father, it's just a matter of government affairs. Other things have nothing to do. And it’s not bad for you to go to him, at least you can learn something, which is also good for your future.”

"Father, what do you mean, you don't object to my going?" Xiao Tang was a little surprised and asked back in surprise.

Old Tang nodded: "Well, I have no objection, but don't let your own temper pass you by, and listen to other people's opinions in everything, understand?"

"Hey, my son understands." Comrade Xiao Tang nodded quickly, as if he was afraid of the old man's repentance and flew away.

"Alas..." Old Tang looked at his son's back, and sighed again.

Ever since King Xiaoyao took over the fiefdom, Old Tang discovered that he had an inexplicable liking for sighs. In the past year, he had sighed more than all the years before.

It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, but who can really ignore their children and only care about themselves, Lao Tang has basically been like this all his life, and it may not be so easy to ease the relationship with Li Muyun.

But he had to worry about his children. Giving his son to Li Muyun can be regarded as an investment. Even if he loses the bet in the future and is distributed to the border, at least his son can stay in Chang'an under Li Muyun's protection without following him. Go to the border to suffer.

At this moment, Old Tang already had a premonition that he was going to lose, but he just gave up because of the bad face, and just dawdled with the idea that it would be a day to delay.

Xiao Tang came out of the old man's room and left the house excitedly. As soon as he went out, he saw Li Muyun and a young man waiting aside, so he ran up to say hello with a smile: "My lord, big brother."

"What's the matter, uncle agreed?" The young man asked Xiao Tang with a smile.

"Well, I agree!" Xiao Tang nodded, and said excitedly: "What should I do next? I see that the old man seems to be very conflicted, so I told him directly that I am afraid that the old man will not be able to bear it."

Li Muyun smiled and took over the conversation: "Take your time, Magistrate Tang is a responsible and good official, don't push too hard."

The young man nodded in agreement: "Well, uncle's character is indeed a bit stubborn, I'm afraid it will take some time for him to change his mind."

Li Muyun changed the topic: "Songling, you can't rush to the left and right, why don't we go to the fields again?"

"Okay." The young man called Cheng Songling nodded with a smile.

Tang Songling, the eldest son of Tang Jian's family, was ordered by his father to mediate the relationship between Li Muyun and Tang county magistrate. After all, they are a family, and Tang Shangshu can't let his distant brother go to hell.

Li Muyun didn't have any opinion on this. Although Magistrate Tang didn't follow his wishes, he was undeniably a good official. If he was exiled to Lingnan because of a bet that didn't have any special meaning Some can't justify.

So he hit it off with Tang Songling, and the two found out the magistrate Tang's youngest son and asked him to act as a middleman, under the guise of going to Xiaoyao Wangfu to work as an errand, to test the magistrate Tang's intentions.

Of course, Tang Songling's relationship with Li Muyun did not only use his personal identity. Apart from Tang Jian's son's identity, he was still the young minister of Taichang Temple. Although he was in charge of rituals and music, this time he was sent by Li Er. Nian County is responsible for supervising the rice field fish farming.

It can be seen from this that Li Er actually didn't want to exile the county magistrate Tang who had worked in Wannian County for three years because of a bet. Letting Tang Songling supervise at the same time also meant to ease the conflict between the two families.

The three of them chatted about the recent interesting events in Chang'an City, walked out of the city together, and when they arrived near Guantian, they unexpectedly found that there were countless people watching.

Out of curiosity, the three of them stepped forward, but they heard someone yelling, "Look, everyone, the rice here is a little different from what we grow."

"It's not the same, isn't it all rice?!" A mid-spirited voice came from the crowd.

"That's right, it's rice, but haven't you noticed that the rice in this official field grows better than the rice in our field? Look at the leaves and the height of the seedlings. If your memory is not bad, these seedlings are taller than those in our field. We planted half a month late, but it is already as tall as the ones we planted."
