Chapter 22
Tasting the food delivered by Cheng Yaojin, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang were very happy.

Tasting the delicious food in the world and having the beauties in the world, Li Zhi is in a good mood.

"My concubine, try the golden bread I fed you."

"Everyone, try the white jade tofu fed to you by my concubine."

"The white jade tofu is really delicious."

"Aifei, I still want to eat your tofu."

……

The two were like glue, feeding each other, and pretending to fall into each other's arms from time to time, causing a flirting meal.

Xiao Huangmen standing beside him was suddenly at a loss.

The two of them were almost laughing, and suddenly saw the little yellow gate standing beside them and remembered it.

"Little Zhuzi, what else can Lu Guogong express? Quickly read it to me."

"Here!"

"My minister received the favor of the late emperor and worshiped him as the general of the town army. He commanded the forbidden army and protected His Majesty when he ascended the throne. In order to prevent villains from usurping power, I received an imperial edict from Cuiwei Palace to command the flying cavalry. From now on, I will return to the Zuo Yanming gate. The minister's clothes were not untied, and he retreated to the barracks after a hundred days. Looking up at Xuanyu today, the emperor's prestige can reach the sky, and thousands of people are all proud. Veteran ministers and horses are aimed at your majesty. Only by practicing military horses every day to protect your majesty can you Xie Laochen is relieved."

Hearing this, Li Zhi was very touched, nodded his head slightly, and exclaimed: "Mr. Lu Guo is really sincere to me, it's really difficult for him."

Xiao Huangmen got the answer, and continued to read: "The saw was used the day before yesterday, it is really a clumsy thing, and it is not elegant, but it is indeed a sharp weapon for our army to cut wood. Small utensils are worth thousands of horses."

Wu Meiniang asked: "Everyone, this saw is the tool that Yan Liben and Liang Xiaoren called a fairy thing? Is that broken blade full of broken teeth so good?"

Li Zhi smiled slightly, held Wu Meiniang's hand and said, "My concubine doesn't know something. Before this saw appeared, craftsmen used axes and knives to chop wood. It was difficult to get square things, especially when making small appliances. It is even more difficult, so the pillars of the main hall are made of logs, and the beams of the hall are mostly made of logs. With a saw, the logs can be split as you like, and the large and small squares can be combined into exquisite utensils. The railing partitions and window lattices used for decoration can all be spelled out in fancy patterns. For this reason, Yan Aiqing also revised the design drawing of Daming Palace, I have read it, and it is indeed much more exquisite than the previous one."

"Oh, I didn't expect the saw to be able to achieve such a feat. Was it invented by Lu Guogong? Everyone should reward him heavily."

"Wonderful! I have accepted my beloved concubine. However, I heard that Lu Guogong's memorial said that it was offered by a boy called something."

Wu Meiniang smiled, and immediately teased Li Zhi's old heart.

Li Zhi felt that the little yellow gate standing in front of him was an eyesore, so he raised his hand to wave him back.Unexpectedly, Xiao Huangmen asked softly again: "Your Majesty, Duke Lu still has something to say, do you want to listen to it?"

"Just think about it."

"Here!"

"This time, I will present food, one is golden bread, and the other is white jade tofu, all made by my subordinate Wenlin Lang Nitu. I will try the taste and soup by myself to ensure the safety of Your Majesty..."

"What, Ni Tu? It's Ni Tu again!" Li Zhi exclaimed suddenly.

"Ni Tu?" Wu Meiniang also frowned and began to think, "Everyone, it seems that this person is the person you ordered my concubine to investigate. The concubine checked it the day before yesterday. This person is the 22nd year of Zhenguan, and His Majesty did it himself. The fame that Zhu approved canonize."

"Ni Tu? I seem to have an impression." Li Zhi put down his chopsticks, took a sip of his wine, and said, "If I remember correctly, this person was young when he applied for the exam, but the essay he wrote was very suitable for me. The rhetoric is gorgeous, the artistic conception is broad, and the meaning is full, from which it can be seen that this person is wise and superhuman, and he is a rare good minister."

"To be able to enter everyone's eyes, he must be an outstanding person, but the concubine is wondering why this person has such talent, why doesn't he enter the court and serve His Majesty?"

When Wu Meiniang asked such a question, Li Zhi became angry.

"Huh! I often hear that these scholars are proud of their talents, talk wildly, and even regard the matter of fame as a matter of humiliation. They said, "If you want to compare fame with a chamber pot, it is always suitable to be accompanied by the head of the kang", and they also said that "Fame is only for horses." Take, you are really a bear and a husband', and 'the fame is thousands of miles away, the heart is in a cup, the soul is not melancholy, look at the softness in the arms', these scholars not only do not work for me, but instead accuse Sanghuai angrily, saying that I am so Neither that nor that."

"After scolding, they traveled around and preached about the court. Some people escaped into the mountains, looking for immortals and asking. Some people went crazy and satirized the current situation. Some people said something strange, saying, "bear the name, change it." I just poured out and sang in a low voice, since I don’t want to sacrifice my life for me, then let them go and sing in a low voice, why bother with a false name.”

"'Forbearance of the false name, instead of shallow pouring and singing' is a good poem. I don't know who wrote this poem?"

"The author of the poem is this Ni Tu! It is carved on the cliff outside Chang'an City!" Li Zhi became angry when he thought of this.

Wu Meiniang was worried that such a pleasant scene would be ruined by a bad boy Ni Tu, so she quickly smiled and comforted her and said, "Your Majesty, why are you angry with this brat? That's it."

Li Zhi smacked these words and felt that he was very satisfied, so he said: "I will give you a reward. Lu Guogong is a dignified and loyal minister. He is a role model. The day before yesterday, I donated saws to help me strengthen the army and horses. Today I donate again Delicious food can be said to be loyal to me, I tasted it, and my heart was happy, and I rewarded Duke Lu with a crowned golden armor."

"Here!"

"Didn't his grandson beg me to join the army many times?"

"I heard that Ni Tu is one of his personal guards."

"Oh? It's humiliating and ridiculous for a Tanhua Tangtang to serve as a bodyguard for a little boy. Then reward Cheng Zheng for his military service and commend him for his contribution to the saw."

"Your Majesty, the person who presented the saw is Ni Tu. This person must be rewarded. Only if he is rewarded, the world will not feel that His Majesty humiliated him on purpose. If he is not rewarded, I am afraid that scholars in the world will make a big fuss about it." gone."

"Then reward Ni Tu with a whip and let him drive the reins for Cheng Zheng."

"Pfft!" Wu Meiniang's smile aroused Li Zhi's interest immediately.

"My concubine, my waist is a little sore."

"The concubine rubbed it for the sage."

"This hall is a bit cold."

"There are ten braziers in the bedroom of the concubine, which is very warm."

"Exactly what I want."

The heavy snow is still falling, and the people living in the warm room are depressed and tired.

Only the bronze phoenix under the pavilion seems to be dancing with interest, among the pines, bamboos, chrysanthemums and plums, chirping in harmony, and the phoenix singing in harmony.

What an intriguing rhythm.

The inside of the house was lively, and the outside of the house was also lively. Several groups of people rushed to different directions quickly.
