Tang's dining table

When the blue moon rises from the sea, the bonfires on the beach illuminate the sky red.

Yunchu and the others were already lying on the beach wrapped in blankets and about to sleep, and Yu Xiurong's banquet was only half over.

Yun Jin, who was lying next to Yun Chu, told her father that her mother had used sixty jars of rice wine and eleven jars of antiseptic for the banquet tonight. The seafood she had prepared during the day had been eaten up, and almost none of the beef and mutton she had prepared was left. What to do now, it all depends on the support of a pig that Fei Jiu got from who knows where.

Yun Chu hugged his son and wrapped him in a blanket. Although it wasn't cold on the beach, the wind was still very strong.

Li Si was lying next to Li Hong. Li Si wanted to get into his brother's arms several times, but was pushed out by Li Hong. He felt that Li Si was old and it was time to avoid taboos.

"Ms. Pei is pregnant, right?" Li Si whispered in Li Hong's ear.

Li Hong did not look back at Li Si and said indifferently: "She is pregnant."

"Aunt Naha is far away. Have you forgotten her?"

Li Hong sighed and said: "Some people are close at hand, but you wish they were far away. Some people are far away, but you can feel that they are by your side by looking at the moon."

Li Si said softly: "You are far behind the master. When the master was serving as the marching commander in Xiongjin Road, Baekje, he saw the moon on the sea, so he wrote a poem to his wife and sent it to his wife through the military newspaper. The general idea is very similar to what you said.

After my wife saw it, she cried for two days. "

Li Hong said: "Read it to me."

Li Si then recited in Li Hong's ear: "There is a bright moon on the sea, and we are together at this moment in the world. Lovers complain about the distant night, but they miss each other at night. Extinguish the candle and pity the light, and feel the dew in the clothes. I can't bear to give it to you, so I still sleep. Good dream period."

After hearing this, Li Hong was silent for a long time and said: "I am not as good as Master. In this situation, I can only say one thing to Naha who is far away in the Western Region - I really miss you."

Li Si nodded and said, "I can't write it either, but I plan to ask Master to help me write it. I will write it to Yun Jin when I part with him in the future, so that he will miss me even more."

Upon hearing this, Li Hong immediately turned his head and looked into Li Sizhi's bright eyes and said, "Will you separate from Yun Jin?"

Li Sidao: "I can live until I am twenty years old at most, then I will collect my mind, wash my hands, make soup, and marry someone else."

Li Hongdao: "You are twenty years old and Yun Jin is sixteen, so you use Yun Jin's age to calculate your time for wandering? Why doesn't Yun Jin go off and you stay at home?"

Li Si shook his head and said: "Mei Yu'er is a person who likes to be quiet. The reason why he is accompanying me everywhere to do things now is entirely because I like to do things. The study is Yun Jin's favorite home, not the whole world."

Li Hong looked at the sister in front of him in surprise and whispered: "Since you know the pain of separation, why don't you stay with him in the study?"

Li Si looked at the blue moon on the sea and said: "No, I decide my life. Before the age of twenty, I have seen all the famous mountains and rivers, and I will be a hero in the world. After the age of twenty, I will not be able to go out of one door, and I will not step out of the second door." You are a little woman who will concentrate on having children. When your children grow up after the age of forty, I will go out to help you smooth the world. In this way, when I am eighty years old, I can become the ancestor of everyone in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Hong swallowed and said, "Why do I think your life will be better than mine in the future?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Si's mouth, and he looked at Li Hong and said: "What are the benefits of being an emperor? Just like my father, he obviously wants to live forever, but he is always timid and dare not express it, for fear that future history books will write him down as a coward. , However, if a few uncles Wang want to live forever, they can immediately buy a boat and go into the sea. No matter whether they can find the legendary fairy mountain or not, they can give themselves a good explanation.

It will be the same for you in the future. If you miss Aunt Naha, can you put aside the affairs of the Tang Dynasty and immediately ride to the Western Regions to see Aunt Naha?

I can, if I want to, take a group of people on horseback to the Western Regions tomorrow. "

Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "You don't like Mr. Pei either, right?"

Li Si sneered and said, "Why should I like her? How could I like her?"

Li Hong pushed Li Si out and said, "Stay away from me."

Before the moon had time to set again, the east began to turn white. The group of noble ladies finally got tired and helped each other towards their own campsites.

They drank too much wine, danced for too long, and sang too many songs last night. Therefore, the hairpin rings were scattered in a mess. Fortunately, Yu Xiurong used light curtains to surround them with a passage. , so that the beauty of spring will not be leaked.

It's windy at sea today, so there can be no mirage.

Li Zhi sat on a chair and stared at the junction of the sea and the sky without blinking. Wu Mei helped him loosen the belt tied around his head. Li Zhi looked back at Wu Mei and said: "I know it's fake, but it's beautiful. Abnormal, should I be willing to be deceived once?"

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi's red eyes and couldn't help but said: "No one can be wise and powerful forever, and it doesn't matter if he is deceived once."

Li Zhi said softly: "That's not what my father said in my "Emperor's Model"."

Wu Mei said: "Hong'er came back this morning and told me that Xu Jingzong wanted to ask for immortality. Yun Chu felt that it was no big deal as long as he had proper control over his request for immortality."

"Master Xuanzang, what did Sun Simiao and the others say?"

"Master Xuanzang said that Your Majesty has a restless lion trapped in his heart and needs to be released as soon as possible to find a way to escape. Sun Shenxian said that Your Majesty is ill, and is seriously ill, and needs to seek medical advice as soon as possible."

"how do you say?"

Wu Mei hugged Li Zhi's shoulders from behind and said, "The husband sings and the wife follows."

Li Zhi was silent, just patting Wu Mei's hand on his chest gently, looking extremely calm.

"Your Majesty, Duke Su Dingfang of Xing State, Cheng Yaojin, Duke of Lu State, and a group of eleven people are outside the tent, waiting for your Majesty's summons."

Ruichun stood under the high platform surrounded by a curtain and reported loudly.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said, "What are they doing here?"

Wu Mei sighed and said, "I don't think I'm here to advise Your Majesty not to seek immortality."

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "I don't think so. Even if these veterans are loyal people of the Tang Dynasty, the moment I show dissatisfaction with the family, they only fear me and want them to continue to serve the Tang Dynasty." Thinking about it is difficult!

Let them come in, I want to see what they want. "

Ruichun opened the curtain and walked out. A moment later, with the sound of armor clashing, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin and other veterans entered the curtain wearing armor.

After they finished their greetings, Li Zhi pointed to his head and said, "The wind has broken out and the pain is unbearable. My dear friends, please feel free to say whatever you want. As long as it is within reason, I will accept it."

Cheng Yaojin raised his head and looked at Li Zhi, who was high up, clasping his fists and saying, "I heard that your Majesty longed to see the Three Immortals of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity, but was blocked by demons like Zhang Guo. After hearing this, I and others were furious. I beg your Majesty. Allow the old minister and others to go out on a boat to find overseas fairy mountains for Your Majesty, and we will definitely capture the three immortals of Lao Shizi, Fu Lu Shou and come to pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Zhi was surprised, looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Is what I said really true?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord humiliates his ministers to death. Now that His Majesty has been humiliated by the demons, the old minister and others will naturally ask for orders to kill the demons, find overseas immortals, and wash away the shame for Your Majesty."

Li Zhi looked at the old general with a large white beard and white hair below, and said with emotion: "My beloved friends have this intention, and I am already satisfied. It's just a monster, why bother all of you, I have already brought this monster to you." The pictures and figures are spread all over the world, and there will be news soon."

Su Dingfang, Duke of Xing, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this evildoer dares to do such a treasonous and unethical thing, and he definitely has no intention of returning to the Tang Dynasty. Even so, the evildoer cannot be allowed to go unpunished. I request you to take a small boat and search the East China Sea. I will definitely capture this beast for Your Majesty and cut it into thousands of pieces to vent the anger in my heart."

As Su Dingfang asked for orders, the other veterans were filled with righteous indignation and asked to go to sea one after another. Not only did they want to capture Zhang Guo, the demon, and cut him into pieces, but they also planned to capture the three immortals of Fortune, Luxury and Shou as guests of the emperor.

Li Zhi appeased the generals, saying that the matter needed to be discussed in the long term and that he would give a clear explanation to the veteran generals. Only then did he calm down their anger and retreat.

When these people walked away, Li Zhi said to Wu Mei who was hiding behind the chair: "What do they want to do?"

Wu Mei stood up and said, "It's not certain whether they really want to capture Zhang Guo and invite the Three Immortals from overseas. However, it is true that they want to gain the power to go to sea."

Li Zhi said in surprise: "What are all the old people doing at sea? Aren't you afraid of dying at sea?"

Wu Mei said: "There is not enough information, we need to explore further."

Li Zhi's eyes immediately drifted to Ruichun, who bowed hastily and left.

Ruichun knew that this was his dereliction of duty, but judging from the fact that the emperor did not punish him, the emperor was in a good mood.

Li Ji was squatting alone in his camp, cracking sea melon seeds and drinking. This large pot of fried sea melon seeds was brought over by Li Chengxiu. Although it didn't have much meat, it was fried because of Yun's secret method. The more he ate, the more delicious it became. Li Ji took a few mouthfuls of sea melon seeds, and then took a big sip of ice-cold rice wine. Before he knew it, he had already eaten all morning.

Liang Jianfang rolled his wheelchair into Li Ji's tent. He had cut off one of his feet in order to continue drinking. Later, due to drinking, his other foot also suffered from gout, which put him in a dilemma of life and death. So, Liang Jianfang felt that the other foot was in danger, so he went to the Taipei Medical University Hospital to have the other foot amputated.

The doctor from Taiyuan Hospital studied Lao Liang's foot and discovered that the toe joints of the old guy's foot were covered with white tophi. These things grow in the flesh, so how can it not cause pain.

Fortunately, because gout attacks were too painful, Liang Jianfang finally listened to Yun Chu's words and stopped eating high-purine foods and drinking alcohol.

However, when he saw Li Ji eating and drinking so freely, he couldn't help but said, "What am I still alive for?"

Li Ji ate the sea melon seed meat, threw the shell into a bamboo basket, grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped his hands and said, "What did your Majesty say?"

Liang Jianfang said: "Your Majesty said that we should take a long-term approach."

Li Ji sneered and said: "He is tempted, but he is still vain. He always likes to let others bear a bad name. He is enjoying the benefits. He did not refuse the first time, which shows that this matter is feasible."

Liang Jianfang said: "It's too obvious why we, the people, came forward in person?"

Li Ji grabbed the wine bottle placed in the crushed ice and took a sip of the cold rice wine and said: "How many people in this world do you think are qualified to take the blame for him? The final value of our group's existence is to take the blame for the emperor.

For example, this time I went to sea to find overseas fairy mountains for the emperor. "

Liang Jianfang asked: "Do we really want to plot against Japan?"

Li Ji sighed and said, "There are so many people there, it's our only choice."

Liang Jianfang sniffed and took a breath of the aroma of the wine, and then said to Li Ji, "Yun Chu said this plan is very clever!"

Li Ji chuckled and said: "When I was in Chang'an, I discovered that Yun Chu had an unusual hatred for the Japanese people. In another place, Yun Chu might not agree. As for the Japanese country, he would like to fight in person."
