Chinese dining table

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi's back for a long time, the more she looked, the more unfamiliar the man in front of her felt.

The Li Zhi in the past was not like this, he was just a boy who could not grow up. She still remembered the appearance of Li Zhi arching in her arms under the ancient cypress of Ganye Temple. Long love.

For Li Zhi, Wu Mei's feelings were very confused, she didn't know what to say, she only knew that the moment Li Zhi sent someone to bring her back to the palace from Ganye Temple, Wu Mei was grateful to him for the rest of her life.

It was different now, the man in front of him became elusive, how should I put it, he became somewhat like his father.

Wu Mei's first memory of the man was Emperor Taizong, but she didn't like that man, because he was more like a volcano of interests, a dead sea of ​​power, rather than a living person.

Li Zhi is different.

Even if it is a mountain, it is also a mountain where everything grows. Even if it is a sea, it allows all kinds of fish to swim in the sea...

Thinking of this, Wu Mei took Li Zhi's hand and put it on her cheek.

Li Zhi caressed Wu Mei's face, smiling, he knew that whenever Wu Mei did this, it was time for her to fall in love.

But look at Wu Mei's huge belly and pinch her nose.

Wearing a bamboo hat on his head, wearing straw sandals on his feet, and carrying two green onions in his hand, when Li Hong walked over, seeing his parents were looking at him, he washed his hands by the side of the canal and said, "My child!" How much can I persist in working under the scorching sun?"

Li Zhi looked at Li Hong's flushed face and said, "Then how long have you persisted?"

Li Hong said shyly, "One hour"

"So how long can the farmer last?"

Li Hongdao "at least four hours"

Wu Mei smiled and said, "I think you still have the energy to joke with your father, why don't you keep going?"

Li Hong looked at his mother on the brocade couch and said puzzledly, "The child is the prince of the Tang Dynasty. It is enough to know the sufferings of farming and mulberry. It is enough to know that farmers can work non-stop for four hours, and how much work can be done in four hours." There is no need to waste precious time on such meaningless farm work.”

Wu Mei said to Li Zhidao, "Your Majesty, you see it clearly. Your son will definitely become a person who counts pennies and pennies in the future. He wants to know all the knowledge in this world, and then use this knowledge to make those who work for him forget about it." have a moment of peace"

"In this way, the people working for him under his command must be very hard."

Li Zhi looked at Li Hongdao, "You don't need to work so hard to show your poor skills in front of your grandpa and grandma. As long as you know benevolence, filial piety and benevolence, you will be a good son in your grandpa's eyes."

Li Hong said respectfully, "What Grandfather taught me, my child will remember it."

At this time, Wu Mei sat up with the support of the palace people, and said to Li Hong, "I heard that the eldest grandson rushed into the East Palace" and "Have you eaten yet?"

Li Hong nodded and said, "It's true, Changsun Chong has to resolve the conflict with Hai'er first, and Hai'er agreed, and also let go of Changsun's conspiracy against me before."

Wu Meidao, "Do you think this is appropriate?"

Li Hong looked at Li Zhi who was looking at Qujiang with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, "From the current situation, this is good for the child."

Li Zhi laughed when he heard this.

To Li Hongdao, "You only consider profit?"

Li Hongdao: "Master Shangguan said that the Tian family is ruthless. My child thinks this is wrong. My child's love for his parents is determined by God, and his love for brothers and sisters is acquired."

"Since love is a natural thing, it means that people can't be unfeeling and ungrateful"

"Since you can't cut it off, my child might as well trap love on the flesh and blood of my closest relatives. Even if I make some mistakes because of love on my dear flesh and blood, my child thinks that even if I lose, I still win."

"As for the court, it's better for the boy to talk about the pros and cons."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "This is very similar to Yunchu's argument."

Li Hong shook his head and said, "Father, this is exactly what Master Xu Jingzong and Master Xu said. Sometimes his arguments are completely different from those of Master Shangguan. Father does not allow children to disobey these two masters, so I have to choose the one I want to hear. If you don’t want to hear it, just give up.”

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi.

Looking at Li Hong, who was nine years old and strong like a calf, he suddenly sighed.

I feel that I am really worthy of his Longxi Li family, even though I once served Emperor Taizong and saw him underground in the future, Emperor Taizong must have nothing to say.

Whose nine-year-old child has such insights?
Thinking of this, Wu Mei caressed her belly. She suddenly felt that she didn't need to work so hard to have a child because she had one more child.

Just to add one more trouble to Li Hong.

Li Zhidao: "Since you have your own ideas, then go ahead and try it out. Whether the benefits of the Changsun family will fall into your hands depends on whether you have the fate."

Li Hong shook his head indifferently and said, "Baby doesn't have such earnest thoughts. It doesn't matter whether I can get him or not. Anyway, no matter what happens, the meat will eventually rot in my big Tang pot. As long as I drink more Sooner or later, the broth in my Tang pot will eat the rotten meat into my stomach.”

Li Zhi looked at his son with undisguised appreciation.

There is nothing wrong with what my son said, it will be a long time, everyone don’t need to worry, eating one more bite is the same as eating one less, the meat is still in the big pot of Datang, and it is eligible to be eaten by the pot The people who scoop up meat with a spoon and eat it are just their father and son.

Everyone likes to run to Yunchu's government office in Wannian County.

Without him, it is only because Yunchu set up an iceberg in his official office.

In the hot summer, the iceberg in the house exudes curling white smoke, and countless cold water droplets slowly flow down from the iceberg, making the whole room extremely cool.

Genuine stood on the ladder and poured a jar of blood-red grape wine into the pit on the iceberg. After a while, a red spring water snaked down along the winding canal carved on the iceberg.

Di Renjie held a bowl, caught the red ice spring at the outlet of the water under the iceberg, and was about to drink it up to get rid of the heat, when a big hand stuck out from behind and snatched the wine bowl With two gurgles, he drank the bowl of cold grape wine in one gulp, then put the wine bowl under the ice spring and continued to drink the ice cold grape wine.

Pei Xingjian had just walked in from the outside, and the roiling heat wave in Chang'an City made his body still hot even after entering this ice room.

Looking at the tall iceberg, Pei Xingjian breathed out, "In terms of extravagance, there are few people in Chang'an City who can compare to you."

"Such an iceberg is so high that others are only willing to show it off at banquets. You just put it here for nothing and watch it melt?"

Yun Chu said, "In winter, such icebergs can be seen everywhere, and I didn't see you packing them up. In summer, you came here to talk about some things that are not there."

Pei Xingjian sat on a chair with a golden knife, pulled open his skirt to reveal his chest covered with chest hair, and said to Yunchu, "I have something to tell you today"

After speaking, he took a special look at Gentle standing on a high place and Di Renjie who just got a bowl of ice wine to drink.

Yun Chu said, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you think that outsiders should not know some secrets, then don't tell me at all. Anyway, if you tell me, I will tell them both exactly when you turn around."

Pei Xingjian pondered for a while and said, "People are impeaching you in droves. The left and right cabinets, officials, secretaries and supervision departments have almost been obliterated by your impeachment documents."

Yun Chu looked at Pei Xingjian and said, "Can you burn all those memorials to impeach me?"

Pei Xingjian spread his hands and said, "I have no skills"

Yun Chu said disdainfully, "What do you say if you don't have this ability?"

Pei Xingjian looked into Yunchu's eyes and said, "So, you really don't care?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "They won't have the time to impeach me soon, maybe they will thank me for my reckless actions."

Pei Xingjian said, "That's not what Cui Zhen said."

Yun Chu laughed out loud with a sneer, and said to the two brothers, "What can a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment do to me?"

Pei Xingjian rubbed his hands and stood up, took another bowl of ice wine from Bingquan and drank it. He opened his mouth a few times but failed to reveal his real intention.

He didn't say anything, Yunchu didn't ask, Wen Rou even talked about the cotton disaster this year, and the few people discussed together to see if there was a good way to get rid of those aphids.

On this day, Pei Xingjian drank a full eighteen bowls of grapes, fermented glutinous rice and rice wine in Yunchu's official office.

Yunchu's attitude is very telling, he is not going to get involved in Pei Xingjian's troubles.

Like a lazy cat, Rourou sat on the chair with his right buttocks half-pushed and said to Yunchu, "You are just a few people who robbed the Cui family, what Pei Xingjian and the others are doing now is to dig out the five surnames other than the Li family." The root seedlings of the House of Seven Looks, His Majesty’s will is already very firm anyway, Pei Xingjian and Li Jingxuan are considered to be roasted on the fire.”

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty is still the most gentle one to you. Cui family wants to eat your meat at most now. After what Pei Xingjian and Li Jingxuan have done are known to the world, those people with five surnames and seven Wangs may want to use them very much." The skins of the two will be used as mattresses to sleep on.”

Di Renjie said with a smile, "This matter has both advantages and disadvantages. The humble family should be able to emerge. In the long run, it will be able to change the bad governance of the nobles who control the way to rise, and can make the official class of the Tang Dynasty more balanced, so that it will not be one-sided."

Yun Chu looked at the two people in front of him and said, "How did I fall, do you remember?"

Wen Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "Du Chongming, Cao Hui, Zhao Ting, Qu Tianming, Feng Zheng?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "None of these five people came from a poor family, but you and I both know that all five of them are lackeys of the Cui family."

Di Renjie said, "Are you worried that even if Your Majesty adopts a new method of scientific examination, the examination papers will be eliminated, and the disadvantages of recommendation will still be used by the poor families who come out of the examination?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Do you feel strange?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It's not surprising, but how can we solve this maladministration?"

Yun Chu chuckled, patted Di Renjie on the shoulder and said, "There are two ways, one is to implement the Favor Order among the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, but I guess they already have a way to deal with it."

"If you want to completely solve Xungui's abuse of government, you can only use ruthless methods."

With a gentle smile, "What kind of ruthless move?"

Yun Chu took a sip of ice wine and said indifferently, "Shoot the local tyrants and divide the fields"
