I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

the next morning.

Last night, I planned the future of Fenglei Bank with Li Qingquan, and it was already late at night when I got home, so this day, Xu Fenglei had a good night's sleep and didn't get up until late.

"Sir, come, have a drink of hot soup to warm your stomach."

"Sir, these are the freshly fried spring rolls in the kitchen, would you like to try them?"

"gentlemen……"

Several maidservants surrounded Xu Fenglei, serving him breakfast.

The life of the idle prince is so unpretentious and boring.

"Hmm! These spring rolls are delicious, do you add leeks?"

Xu Fenglei chewed and praised,
"Delicious! You can taste the meat in these spring rolls!"

As he spoke, he picked up two more and threw them into his mouth, crunching and eating deliciously.

"Yes, with tender chives, and chicken mash, fried in oil."

The green maid said with a smile,
"If the master likes it, the servant will ask the kitchen to make another dish?"

"It's not enough, it's too much, one plate is just right, if you eat too much, you will get tired." Xu Fenglei waved his hand, took a sip of hot soup, and sent the spring rolls into his stomach.

A hot current rose from the abdomen, warming the whole body, making people feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Some people say that the ancients did not have mobile phones, computers, internet, air conditioners, refrigerators and monosodium glutamate. Even the life of an emperor, his diet may not be comparable to that of an ordinary modern person in later generations.

With this kind of thinking, you can only say that you can't imagine the happiness of the emperor.

Not to mention the emperor, but the enjoyment of him as a duke is extraordinary!

Just for the food, every morning when you wake up, there is a dedicated team of chefs to serve you.

Soup not fresh enough?

Simple.Stew a large pot of hanging soup directly with old hen, big hoof, mutton bone and beef stick, just for that mouthful of fresh soup.

The soup is clear and delicious, with two fresh mushrooms, isn't it better than that soup?

Not to mention, all kinds of ingredients are all natural and wild, isn't it better than that technology and hard work?

In this era, all problems are no problem, as long as you have power!This is also the reason why Xu Fenglei wanted to leave Moyu Mountain and catch a ride with Li Shimin.

Now that he has lived a new life, he is not willing to be that hard-working social animal again, living hard in that ravine.

Xu Fenglei never thought that he was an unworldly expert, and the current luxury and good food is the life he wants!
"Sir, are you going to the palace today?"

Zi Mai said,
"Do you want to prepare court clothes for you?"

"No need." Xu Fenglei smiled, waved his hands and said calmly, "I am now dismissed by His Majesty, and I am at home, so I don't need to go to the palace! It is enough to go to the East Palace once in a while! I will rest at home today!"

He looked at Zi Mai, and ordered:
"Make it better for lunch today, I want to eat carp baked noodles, uh... and prepare a piece of beef ribs, which is what I told the cook at home before, the part that looks like an ax is called Tomahawk steak, fried in oil Let’s eat. Also, take a bottle of grape wine and keep it chilled.”

"The days are getting hotter, and it's time to take out the wine stored in the ice cellar and have a few sips."

Zi Mai nodded.

"Carp Baked Noodles, Tomahawk Steak, Grape Stuffed..."

She murmured it again and said with a smile,

"Mister's appetite seems to be very good today. This servant will go and tell the kitchen to prepare."

"I'm free, I'm just getting hungry all of a sudden, hahaha..." Xu Fenglei grinned.

The two were talking when they heard footsteps.

I saw Lao Zhang, the concierge, trotting all the way across the threshold, handing over his hands and reporting:

"Master, Tang Xianggong of Honglu Temple sent someone here, saying that the envoy of Dongying Kingdom has arrived in Chang'an, please go and meet him."

Xu Fenglei was slightly taken aback.

"right……"

He patted his forehead and suddenly said,

"Forget about this! I'm not at home now... I have a job!"

The prime minister of Honghe Temple, from the sixth rank of a small official.

This is the actual job of the dignified Xu Guogong.

"Since it's official business, sir, go quickly."

The purple maid said repeatedly,

"How about changing lunch to dinner? The servant girl will get you clothes now? Do you want official clothes or court clothes?"

Xu Fenglei has several sets of Chinese clothes.

As the prince and grand teacher, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he has two sets of official uniforms.

As Xu Guogong, he also has a set of court clothes.

On weekdays, when he enters the palace, he usually wears court clothes.

"No, you can just get me one, anyway, it's not an important person you want to meet."

Xu Fenglei got up, patted his stomach, and said casually.

"Yes."

The purple maidservant left in response.

……

Chang'an post house.

This post house, located in Dongshi, belongs to Honglu Temple, and it is a place specially for foreign envoys.

In front of the post house, Tang Jian, who was getting fatter and fatter, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the end of the road eagerly.

The person he was waiting for hadn't come yet.

"Mr. Tang, this Dongpu is just an overseas island country. Its envoys can just be stood here and waited for by the lower officials. Why bother you to greet them in person? This is too much for them."

The subordinate officer beside him muttered.

"What do you know?"

Tang Jian rolled his eyes at him and reprimanded him,
"If it's an ordinary envoy, you can pick it up, but this time it's different. The envoy of Dongying Kingdom is led by a princess of the royal family. Since it is a princess of another country, I, Tang Dynasty, naturally have to raise the standard. Otherwise, wouldn't it be rude?"

"You have to know that all foreign affairs are related to my image outside the Tang Dynasty, so I can't be careless."

"Yes, I will keep it in mind." The subordinate official Gong said yes.

"Besides, do you think that I am waiting so anxiously for the Japanese people?"

Tang Jian sneered,
"Princess Dongying is not enough to make me anxious! What I am waiting for is Xu Guogong, Xu Fenglei!"

Hearing this, the official was slightly taken aback.

"Ah? Mr. Xu? Why..."

Tang Jian's brows suddenly twisted into twists.

"How does my mother know?"

He uttered a swear word, and said with resentment on his face,
"Your Majesty didn't know what was going on, he dismissed all of Xu Gong's positions, and threw him to my Honglu Temple to be a Honglu Temple..."

"Oh, my little Honglu Temple, how can I accommodate this big Buddha?! And let me be his superior? Isn't this killing me!"

"Let me tell you...entertaining the envoys from Japan is the second priority. The main thing is to serve this master. If he gets upset and makes trouble, we will have nothing to eat!"

Subordinate official: "!!!"

"Honglu Temple Chancellor? That seems to be a subordinate of the lower official!"

His eyes widened and his heart began to beat faster.

"Oh, really?"

Tang Jian looked over, gave him a comforting look, and said,

"Then you have to think carefully about how to serve this master... You know, the so-called dismissal is just a joke with him. This time, it is considered to be down to earth to experience life. After a few days, He will go back to heaven again, and become a first-rank grand master and minister of the Ministry of Industry again."

"you know……"

Subordinate official: "@#￥%...&*@!!!"

How to serve the uncle... I don't understand! !

beep, beep...

The huge wheels rolled over the bluestone bricks, causing the tangled-looking duo to raise their brows.

squeak--

The carriage stopped in front of the post house, and the coachman jumped off the horse and knelt on the ground.

Hey.

A little foot wearing an embroidered shoe stretched out from the carriage, stepped on the coachman's back, and got out of the carriage.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Tang Jian felt a ripple in his heart.

The official next to him opened his eyes even wider, staring at him blankly.

What a charming and charming girl!
Both of them gave extremely high evaluations in their hearts at the same time!

When the fragrant wind came, the girl smiled at Tang Jian and bowed slightly to salute.

"Little girl Haogong Qianhe, you are being polite here."

Her Tang dialect was extremely smooth, without the slightest feeling of being clumsy and blunt, and her squatting manners were even more standard than the ladies in Chang'an City!

"Uh! Good, good! Be polite..."

Tang Jian smelled the fragrance and felt so at ease that he couldn't even find Bei.

Having received so many foreign envoys, he has already practiced the ability to be calm, but he never thought that he would lose his composure at this moment!
Haogong Qianhe pursed his lips and smiled brighter.

"You haven't told Qianhe your name yet."

she chuckled.

The subordinate officer next to him finally came back to his senses, hit Tang Jian with his elbow, and hurriedly saluted:

"Princess Qianhe came from afar, thank you for your hard work."

"This is Tang Jianjun, Minister of Honglu Temple, the highest-ranking minister in charge of foreign affairs in my Tang Dynasty."

Tang Jian was hit hard, and then he came to his senses completely, recalling his gaffe just now, he couldn't help but blush.

Tang Jian, Tang Jian, you are an old man!
No matter how old you are, you can still indulge in the beauty of a little girl!What a shame!
"I've seen Princess Qianhe. My official is Tang Jian. I've been waiting for the princess here for a long time."

After all, he is an old Jianghu, thick-skinned enough, Tang Jian just blushed a little, and his expression returned to normal. After bowing and saluting, he invited,

"The princess came from Dongying, and it is not easy to travel and travel. Please come to the posthouse."

"Tang has already set up a banquet to clean up the dust for the princess."

When Haogong Qianhe heard the words, surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"It turned out to be Tang Jianjun, Minister of Honglu Temple!"

She bowed again, her waist was bent deeper than before, and when she raised her head, she said with great joy,
"It's a great honor to be received by Mr. Tang Jian in person!"

Tang Jian couldn't help smiling when he heard this.

It has to be said that this Dongying princess is not only charming, but also well-mannered, and she speaks nicely.

Just the surprised expression made me feel refreshed physically and mentally, and I felt that I was extremely valued.

"It's too serious, hahaha..."

Tang Jian smiled loudly and invited,

"Princess Qianhe please!"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders." Haogong Qianhe said, "Thank you Tang Jianjun, I also ask Tang Jianjun to arrange the little girl's carriage."

After finishing speaking, she took a step and slowly entered the post house.

Behind her, there were two black-clothed men who followed her into the post house barefoot.

"Tsk tsk..."

The subordinate officials beside him exclaimed in amazement,
"This Dongying princess is not ordinary! She is so considerate in etiquette, so much higher than those barbarian envoys!"

"She's so pretty... I never thought there would be such a beautiful woman in an overseas island country."

Tang Jian glanced at him.

"So, don't underestimate others, understand?"

He said angrily,

"Go, lead Princess Qianhe's carriage into the post house, and arrange it properly, don't neglect it!"

"This princess looks like she wants to see our majesty!"

"Of order." The subordinate official nodded, and obediently went to pull the carriage.

Tang Jian stood where he was and glanced towards the street.

"This Grand Master...why hasn't come yet?!"

He shook his head and sighed,

"If you don't come, how dare I open the table?!"

"Hey! Let's chat with Princess Qianhe for a while, she speaks quite nicely..."

Tang Jian shook his head and stepped into the post house.

And at this moment, a figure appeared not far from the street.

I saw Xu Fenglei walking slowly on the side street, holding a bunch of vegetarian meatballs in his hand, walking around to look around, and stopping to look at the treasures at the stalls.

"My little brother! This is a bronze ware from the pre-Qin period! It has been hidden at home for many years, do you see?"

Xu Fenglei took a bite of the meatball.

"Bronze ware? What shape is this?"

He squatted down, looked at the ugly green utensil with great interest, held it in his hand and played with it twice, and said with a smile,

"Small things, quite chic."

"Hey! You are really an expert. We have met someone who knows the goods today!" Seeing that Xu Fenglei wanted to buy it, the stall owner immediately became enthusiastic and introduced, "This is a bronze cong! Do you know about the cong? It is a ritual vessel from the pre-Qin period, very precious!"

Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.

"Cong? Aren't these things usually made of jade? There are also bronze ones?"

he laughed,
"Aren't you kidding me?"

The stall owner waved his hands again and again.

"How can I! I can hide from that ignorant owner, but how can I hide from your pair of eyes?"

He hurriedly said,
"With your face, you look like an extremely intelligent person. Who can lie to you?"

"That's true." Xu Fenglei said with a smile, "I'm in our hometown, and I'm called Little Zhuge."

"exactly!"

The stall owner also laughed and introduced the bronze cong,
"You are an expert and know that this cong is usually made of jade, but you only know one thing and don't know the other."

"During the Qin Dynasty, bronze wares were more precious than jade wares! Ordinary countries could not refine bronze wares at all. Only the powerful Qin State could refine bronze wares, and only Qin Shihuang dared to use bronze wares to sacrifice to heaven and earth."

"Jiuding, do you know? It is made of bronze! Back then, Qin Shihuang couldn't find Jiuding, so he abandoned Jiuding in a fit of anger and made his own objects for worshiping the heavens. This bronze cong is one of them!"

"Let me tell you..."

Seeing that he opened up the chatterbox and began to chatter, Xu Fenglei stopped immediately.

"Wait, you mean... Qin Shihuang even used this thing?"

he asked.

"Uh... well, probably, oh no, it must have been used!"

The stall owner was taken aback for a moment, then immediately turned his mind around, and said with great determination,
"This is the bronze cong dedicated to offering sacrifices to the sky for the first emperor of Qin! It is always by the emperor's side!"

"Priceless treasure, this is..."

The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose.

Give the stall owner some more space, and I'm afraid it will make Qin Shihuang sleep with this bronze cong every day!
"Okay, there's no need to say so much."

Xu Fenglei got up and said,

"I like it, let's make an offer!"

The stall owner's eyes widened and he said excitedly:

I also met a real buyer today!Yes, a treasure should be matched with a predestined person, and I am willing to part with it! 5000 taels of silver is the same price!Don't buy any more, don't sell any less!You see—”

"5 coppers." Xu Fenglei offered, "Sell it?"

The stall owner's eyes widened and his teeth were clenched...
