Chinese dining table

Chapter 663
Li Hong has been very busy recently, because the emperor entrusted him with the task of entertaining the envoys of the Great Food, so it became Li Hong's task to accompany the two envoys of the Great Food to inspect the customs and customs of the Tang Dynasty, and even the political system.

But these two envoys are extremely studious people, and they stay with the prince from early morning every day, observing the Tang Dynasty until late at night.

Their observation of Datang is not just a quick look, but a deep look, the messenger Abdul Hashim.Deputy envoy Aziz Said only visited the [-] squares and cities in Chang'an City for three full days.

Not only can they watch, but also painters can draw what they are interested in.

It is impossible to see one hundred and eight square markets in three days. Just one west market is enough to make Hashim, who wants to understand Datang's business, linger and forget to return.

Aziz Said was more interested in the folk customs of Tang Dynasty. When he was in Fangshi, he heard a Tang person greet another Tang person and asked, have you eaten?The other party replied that they ate, you eat yours.

Just keep Aziz Saeed silent.

At that time, it was time to eat the imperial food, and as this kind of greetings kept appearing, Aziz Said didn't know what he thought of, so that the white-bearded old scholar held the prince's hand and said continuously: "You are so kind, you are so kind. kindness."

And burst into tears.

Of course, Li Hong would not believe that such a simple matter could make such a profound emotion on such a profound scholar.

If you don’t know, of course you have to ask. Of course Aziz Said will not hide it. He took the prince’s hand and said: “Gifts and help can make a family immortal. Caring about the food and clothing of others, caring about the pain of others, and Those who empathize must be saints among people.

Have you eaten?
This seems to be an insignificant greeting, but it is the fear of hunger that people keep in the deepest part of their memory.

The person who can ask this sentence must be a good person and the person closest to Allah. As long as you are hungry, come and eat what I have here... This is the greatest kindness.

I saw this kind of goodness in Chang'an, and it is a universal goodness. This kind of Chang'an is really rare. So far, I have seen the shadow of heaven in Chang'an. "

Li Hong never expected that such an ordinary event would make Said feel so emotional. Perhaps this is the difference between the scholars of the Tang Dynasty and the scholars of the Great Food.

Li Hong also had a discussion with the Hashim envoy about the political system of the Tang Dynasty. When the discussion got deep, Hashem became very interested in the county system of the Tang people.

He believed that a centralized empire could maintain a longer period of peace than a decentralized empire.

The Great Food Kingdom is currently a governor system. Hashim believes that although this system allows the governor to concentrate all the forces in the territory to resist the enemy and quell civil strife, once the governor is bewitched by heretics, it is easy to have large-scale riots. rebellion...

Therefore, Hashim hopes to finally develop a new political management system after thoroughly understanding the prefecture and county system of the Tang Dynasty, combined with the governor system of the Great Food Kingdom.

At the same time, he is also very curious about the management of the giant city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, because in the country of great food, a city will often pollute the water source because of people's output of a lot of filth and garbage, so that it has to Leaving the old city-state to build a new city, in order to slow down the time for the city to be abandoned, they also deliberately controlled the city's population...

Li Hong is very yearning for the powerful ancient Roman Empire that Hashem told about. Although the Western Roman Empire was destroyed by a group of barbaric Germans 200 years ago, Li Hong still feels it is a pity. The dynasties comparable to the empire, now there is only one Byzantine Empire lingering.

"Of course, the Byzantine Empire didn't survive. They still have a strong vitality. That's just Hashim's personal opinion. He always feels that his new big food kingdom will replace the Byzantine Empire. Unfortunately, Byzantine is a little far away from their big food kingdom. Far, they can't reach."

When Li Hong brought the envoy to Wannian County, Yunchu decisively exposed the lies of the envoy.

If his memory is correct, the Byzantine Empire still has a lifespan of 800 years, making it the longest-lived of all dynasties in the world.

Li Hong frowned and said, "I thought scholars like Hashim wouldn't lie."

Yun Chu said: "He didn't lie, at least, from Hashim's subjective point of view, he was telling a possibility he thought, and he didn't think he was lying.

At the same time, you can also consider what I said to be a lie, because what I said is also based on subjective inference. "

Li Hong shook his head and said, "If a person doesn't have his own opinion, will he be tricked into not even being able to put on his pants?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "So, you have to cultivate your own subjectivity, and don't be easily replaced by other people's words.

After all, many times, people are telling lies without looking for margins with the most sincere attitude. "

Li Hong nodded, then suddenly raised his head to look at Yunchu and said, "My mother will take Naha to visit my garden tomorrow, will you go?"

Yun Chu said indifferently: "I won't go, if possible, I don't want Naha to go either."

Li Hong's face twitched, and he said with some difficulty: "Master, I like Naha, it's true."

Yun Chu said: "It's true that you can't marry Naha. Compared with us, Naha is a bit stupid. The important thing is that she is older than you. If you just waste Naha for a few years, don't care about that child. In other words, it is to delay her life.

The most important thing is that this child Naha is a bit stubborn, which is very similar to her mother. I would rather she marry a relatively mediocre person than you to be with her. "

Li Hong rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, looked at Yunchu and said, "I don't care, I am the prince of Tang Dynasty and the future emperor, what I want most is Naha, I don't care what you think, I don't care No matter what my father and mother think, I want Naha."

Yunchu looked at Li Hong, who had fallen into a certain kind of madness, and said, "You like her so much, why did you hide from her after she returned to Chang'an, don't tell me that you are busy with your mother's work these days.

You just dare to say this bunch of unreasonable things in front of me, but in front of your father and mother, do you dare to say it?

You've been avoiding Naha these days, but you've already figured it out, haven't you? "

As Yunchu was talking, he took off a horizontal knife from the wall and threw it to Li Hongdao: "Come on, in order to give you a step to go down, pick up the horizontal knife, and you can marry Naha after defeating me."

Li Hong picked up the horizontal saber, slowly drew the saber out of its sheath, threw away the sheath, held the saber in both hands, separated his legs slightly, pointed the blade at Yunchu and said, "During the two years you were away, I have never slacked off for a single day." Every day, I dance to the sound of chickens, and fight against famous swordsmen and swordsmen in Chang'an City. People say that my martial arts have already entered the room."

Yun Chu smiled brightly, and also drew out the horizontal knife, holding the horizontal knife in one hand and the scabbard in the other, and said to Li Hong, "You know why, before I set off, can you take three moves from me?"

Li Hong proudly said: "Naturally, it is the result of my hard work day and night."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "No, I was leaving Chang'an at that time, and I couldn't stay by your side, so that you could accept my three tricks was entirely to boost your morale.

In fact, when it comes to martial arts, you are still far behind. As for those swordsmen, the swordsmen say that you have entered the palace, it is nothing more than your status as the crown prince.

To be honest, your strength lies in martial arts, not martial arts. "

Holding the horizontal knife, the prince said: "I know that your words are also part of your martial arts. You have tempered my will into steel since I was a child. Don't even think about dispelling my fighting spirit with just a few words."

Yun Chu also pointed the horizontal knife at Li Hong, and said with a chuckle: "You are still a 14-year-old kid, it's too early to talk about love, and it's too early to talk about things like will, come on, let me see Use your so-called knives to enter the room."

"ah--"

Li Hong yelled loudly, seemingly about to attack, but stepped forward and kicked the scabbard thrown on the ground, and the scabbard rushed towards Yunchu with the ashes that the servant had just poured over his head and face.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hong kicked his legs on the ground vigorously, followed behind the dust and the scabbard like a leopard, and after three steps forward, he slashed out desperately.

The incident happened so suddenly that even the guards around the prince were still wondering why the two people who were clearly talking were fighting with knives in the blink of an eye.

Now, seeing the sword cut by the prince, even the experienced guards couldn't help but shout hello.

As soon as he struck out with the knife, Li Hong knew it was not good. There seemed to be nothing in front of him, so he rushed forward in three small steps one after another. These three steps plus the length of the horizontal knife, the length of the arm, and the length of the twisted body, controlled The range exceeded one foot, and the master was standing six feet in front of him just now, but this blow missed nothing.

Considering that the master always likes to grab his neck when fighting with him, he turned around without thinking, not only did not take back the slashed knife, but also used the momentum of the knife to drive his body, so that the knife formed a big ring and slashed behind him.

He heard a click, and his horizontal knife was delayed by something, and then a big hand like a steel hook landed on his neck precisely, just when Li Hong felt that his neck would be hit by his big hand. When turning over and breaking, this hand pushed his neck, so his body flew out uncontrollably, and he could no longer maintain his balance.

With a crisp sound of "baji", Li Hong's body didn't make any resistance, and just flatly slapped the ground.

This kind of slap is all-round, from the forehead to the chest, to the stomach, to the knees, and finally to the feet.

The teeth were not spared, but fortunately a shoe appeared there...

"Yes, the weapon in your hand did not drop after being hit hard. This is the only improvement you have made in the past two years."

Yun Chu's voice came from above his head.

Li Hong first groaned in pain, then raised his head slowly, and saw that the master only had a sock on one foot, and then looked at the horizontal knife in his hand.

The pain in the internal organs was overwhelming, so Li Hong retracted one leg first, and then retracted the other leg to curl up his body to relieve the pain in his stomach and chest. Finally, he used his head to push away the shoe he had chewed on. A wolf-like howl came out of his mouth.

"what--"

　see you tomorrow
