Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Just hand over the main government affairs of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Rites to me."

"But looking at it now, why do these three departments seem to be busier than the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Come on, Mr. Wen, I have brought excellent tea here."

"New variety, come and try it."

Listening to Li Qiu's words, Wen Yanbo talked about the current situation.

With so many thorny government affairs, how can I have the heart to drink tea?

However, his legs and feet were very sincere, and he had already helped Tang Jian start boiling water and took out the tea set.

A learned man like Wen Yanbo, a Confucian scholar, can regard gold and silver as dung.

But only in the face of the famous tea in the Furong Garden, it is really difficult for them to resist the temptation.

One, they really like tea.

Secondly, if you drink it, you can buy some kind of good tea.

Speaking out is a very face-saving thing.

Nowadays, the upper class of Tang Dynasty, officials and celebrities.

Among the topics discussed, half are related to tea tasting.

It can be said that Li Qiu directly relocated the tea culture developed for more than 1000 years to the current Tang Dynasty.

The shock and response caused by the dimensionality reduction attack is unbelievable.

Especially this tea, if broken down, there are several major categories, at least one or two hundred kinds.

The extended tea culture is even more extensive and profound.

It made this group of people addicted and intoxicated.

And the tea in Furong Garden is sold.

It is still mainly based on Furong Restaurant.

Naturally, it is impossible to sell so many varieties of tea one by one.

The ones on sale are nothing more than a dozen varieties with high output, convenient transportation, and more popular with the public.

More and better tea leaves have become private collections in the Furong Garden.

Even if you have money, you can’t buy it.

Under Li Qiu's inadvertently formed hunger marketing, the private tea stored in the Furong Garden is even more sought after by the outside world.

On weekdays, if anyone can get some private tea and special offerings from the Furong Garden.

It is definitely going to attract countless people's pursuit and saliva.

So people like Changsun Wuji, Chai Shao, Wang Gui, etc., ran to Li Qiu's Furong Garden to play the autumn breeze at every turn.

I had a great time playing, so happy.

As for Wen Yanbo, although he is very familiar with Li Qiu.

But with his character and demeanor, it is absolutely impossible to get rid of this face.

but!

It's quite good to talk about government affairs and drink tea with Li Qiu and Fang Xuanling.

After the tea was ready, everyone was quiet and tasted it carefully.

After two cups, I began to sigh and discuss the feeling and flavor of this tea.

In the Tang Dynasty, when material and cultural life was extremely scarce.

For them, this is a great enjoyment.

It was only then that Li Qiu asked Wen Yanbo.

"Master Wen, what is it that made you wait here for so long?"

"There are still more than two months before the New Year's Eve."

"I asked you a while ago, didn't you still say that there is nothing serious about the Ministry of Rites?"

Wen Yanbo sighed at this moment.

"If it's really about this year's festival, even though it's busy."

"But they are all ordinary government affairs, and I don't need to come to you specifically, Mr. Li."

"This time, things are a little troublesome."

"A few days ago, His Majesty hired the daughter of Zheng Renji, the general manager, to be the enrichment of the harem."

"Now that the edict has been issued, the canonized envoys have to leave."

"But now there are some problems."

"This Zheng Renji's daughter was once verbally promised to Lu Shuang, the son of the noble Lu family."

"Before the edict was issued, the Ministry of Rites also investigated."

"Their two families don't have a written marriage certificate."

"But now it's happening again."

"After all, this is a major matter involving the palace, so we dare not make up our minds for a while."

Chapter 840

At this time, Tang Jian also sighed with some embarrassment.

"This matter, whether there is such a thing or not."

"It's actually irrelevant."

"But now, the imperial historian Wei Zheng has directly admonished this matter to His Majesty."

"Our sage has always been a virtuous king who cherishes his reputation."

"As soon as I heard Wei Zheng's remonstrance, I personally issued an edict to stop this matter."

"So right now, I'm in a dilemma."

Fang Xuanling also nodded at this time.

"This is about the daughter of the Zheng family Xu marrying the Lu family."

"There is no proof."

"And the great gift of the imperial court's canonization has already been implemented."

"According to the etiquette system, it should never be abandoned halfway."

"Besides, even the Lu family stated that there was no proposal to marry Zheng Nu at first."

"Regarding this matter, Changsun Wuji and I have already written to His Majesty."

"But I don't know how His Majesty will decide."

Listening to their words, Li Qiu yawned wearily.

Then he sighed and said: "This is an internal matter of the royal family, why should it be too serious?"

"Master Wen, your Ministry of Rites and Mr. Fang should discuss this kind of matter together. Let's figure it out."

"I don't think so at all."

Listening to his words, Fang Xuanling also nodded.

"In my opinion, this is the best way."

"There is no small matter in the royal family, so I will save you from being reckless."

On the other side, in the palace, Li Shimin also summoned Wei Zheng because of the Zheng family's marriage.

"Wei Zheng."

"You said in the form earlier that the Zheng family and the Lu family had an original marriage contract."

"But now, the ministers may be Rong Xihe, and Shuang is also self-reporting, why?"

Wei Zheng then replied: "He took His Majesty as an outsider, although he gave it up, or added a sinful condemnation, so he has no choice."

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin also shook his head and smiled helplessly.

"Outsiders may or may not be so."

"My words can't make people believe so evil?"

"Let's forget about the Zheng family's affairs."

……

A rare three-day rest day.

Li Qiu took the whole family and ran to Lishan Hot Spring to play.

Before leaving, it may be that he went to ask for an extra two days off with Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling.

This matter then spread to the ears of Empress Changsun.

Therefore, Li Qiu and Yun Zhong were also called to the Lizheng Hall.

"You children, I don't even know what to say about you."

"In this icy and snowy season, you have nothing to do to leave Chang'an City, what are you doing so far away?"

"Especially, Zhang Xuansu's unsolved case and the assassin who attacked your Furong Garden at night have not been arrested yet."

"At this moment, it's really not very good."

"Also, how many people are you going to take with you on this trip?"

Hearing Empress Changsun's words, Li Qiu couldn't help being stunned.

Said that going out to play this time is Luo Kexin, Wu Jue, Yun Zhong and other family members.

About five or six carriages, plus thirty or forty guards.

Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun gave him an angry look.

"Li Qiu, now you are also the prime minister."

"Why are you still so imprecise in acting and doing things?"

"How can your family travel with so few guards?"

"What should you do if something dangerous happens on the way?"

"In my opinion, at least 500 people should be brought along for protection."

"With the two identities of you and Yunzhong, it's probably not enough to bring so many guards."

"And I miss Xiao Wenzhi a lot recently."

"He's still young, there's nothing fun about him."

"Or let Youle bring him to live in the palace for a few days, so that this palace will also like it."

Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Qiu immediately smiled wryly.

Said that going to Lishan Hot Spring this time is just for the whole family to have a simple fun.

If you bring five hundred guards, it's almost time to go to war.

As for Empress Changsun's proposal to let the child live in the palace for a few days.

Li Qiu naturally declined again and again.

How can a child from an ordinary family like myself be sent to the palace for the empress to take care of?

This is too presumptuous and disrespectful.

How many princes in Chang'an City have enjoyed this kind of treatment?

So Li Qiu was naturally terrified and dared not agree.
