Tang's dining table

In fact, the people employed in the imperial court have a certain number of years.

Some people have to use it for a while.

Some people need it for a year or two.

A person who needs to be employed for five years is considered a great talent.

The one that takes ten years is the humeral bone.

It will take more than twenty years. If he does not have a terminal illness that is going to kill him soon, or is determined to resign, it will usually not end well.

Emperor Li Zhi has trusted Xue Rengui for twenty years.

In the past twenty years, the emperor had trusted him with his life several times, and he had behaved well.

Now, it's time for Xue Rengui to be seriously ill or to resign.

Many people think that Xue Rengui is a rare Zijin Liang in the Tang Dynasty army. In fact, this is not the case. It is very unfavorable for the court for a person to command the troops of the Tang Dynasty for a long time.

Li Zhi worked hard to deprive the British Duke Li Ji of his authority, and patiently endured the British Duke to death. Of course, he did not want a new British Duke Li Ji to appear in the Tang army.

Replacing Xue Rengui is not a good thing for the army, and may even lead to defeat in foreign wars.

This is not important to the court, the replacement of military generals is a big deal.

The advantage of Yun Chu is that he is irreplaceable!

The social development of the Tang Dynasty today has far surpassed that of previous dynasties. When there is nothing to learn from in the history books, many of Yunchu's practices are often refreshing. In addition, Yunchu has no intention of getting involved in military power. Therefore, The emperor's tolerance for Yun Chu was obviously much higher than that of Xue Rengui.

There is nothing more than an undefended Chang'an city on the left and right. If you keep it as a human being, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The moment Xue Rengui stood up from the giant bear and looked at him, he immediately understood that his days as a military general were numbered.

Moreover, he even understood who the next generation of military generals the emperor valued was.

"Your Majesty, I have become increasingly unable to lead troops in recent years."

This was the first time that Xue Rengui used the word "Lao Chen" in front of the emperor.

Li Zhi's heart trembled slightly, and he followed Xue Rengui's words and asked, "But the old injury is reoccurring?"

Xue Rengui replied with a pale face: "Exactly."

Li Zhi said angrily: "What do the people in Taiyuan Hospital do for food? They can't even heal Aiqing's old injuries. What use do I need them for?"

Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "It is said that medicine can not cure diseases. There are too many old wounds on the old minister's body, just like a torn bag. Everyone in Taiyuan Hospital has done their best to repair them over the years. Now, there is no way to repair them. , I can’t blame them.”

Li Zhi sighed and said: "Besides Ai Qing, who else can I trust in the army?"

Xue Rengui looked at the emperor and said helplessly: "I think Fengzhou Sima Tang Xiujing can be of great use."

Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "You can't take charge of the overall situation yet."

Xue Rengui smiled and said: "I just made a suggestion. Whether to use it or not depends on your Majesty's decision."

Li Zhi just shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Ruichun personally brought some wine and food, and Li Zhi and Xue Rengui sat on the high platform opposite each other, drinking and chatting.

The main thing was that the emperor listened to Xue Rengui telling him about his life experience. The emperor just praised some key points, or picked up a glass of wine to drink with Xue Rengui.

It seems that the monarch and his ministers get along very well with each other.

The sound of explosions and rising flames in Luoyang City became louder and louder. It was not until after a violent loud noise that some broken bricks and tiles fell into the Yun family courtyard that Wu Mei ordered the banquet to be stopped.

The banquet stopped, but none of the guests wanted to leave Yun's house at this time.

Wu Mei left the house and went to the courtyard where no one wanted to come. She stroked a pine and cypress bonsai with hundreds of knots. She seemed to enjoy the feeling of the pine needles pricking her hands.

Li Si followed closely behind with the horse in hand.

"Do you think your brother will kill me?" Wu Mei took her hand away from the pine needles and asked softly.

"No!" Li Si replied decisively.

Wu Mei nodded and asked: "Do you think the queen mother will kill your prince brother?"

"No!" Li Si continued to answer with absolute certainty.

Wu Mei smiled and continued to say to Li Si: "Since we, mother and son, will not fight each other, then what does the current scene in Luoyang mean?"

Li Sidao: "It's a game."

Wu Mei sighed after hearing this: "Yes, it is indeed a game, but this game is a little too cruel."

Li Sidao: "It's not cruel at all."

Wu Mei turned around and looked directly at Li Sidao: "Why do you say that?"

Li Si smiled and said: "Master told the children a long time ago that everyone dying for their ideals is one of the happiest ways to die in the world. Maybe they had a lot of unwillingness and regret when they died, but this is not Is that the most beautiful thing about the whole thing?

People in the world love glory and wealth, and pursue princes for eternity. Everyone wants to stand on the top of a mountain and look down on the world. However, the higher the mountain, the more cramped the top is. There are not many people who can stand on it. If you want to stand up, you need others to help you. Make room.

Isn't it normal for them to pay a price or even die for these noble positions? "

Wu Mei smiled when she heard this and said to Li Sid, "Why did the Yun family retreat bravely?"

Li Si smiled and said: "Master thinks that the location on the top of the mountain is too small, not suitable for moving around, not suitable for farming, let alone building houses, and even building workshops. So, climbing to the top of the mountain is not suitable for you." It doesn't mean much to Yunshi.

Besides, apart from the narrow landing place, the only thing left on the top of the mountain is the sky, and people who climb to the top of the mountain can easily regard the sky as their next target, which is too dangerous. "

While the mother and daughter were talking, a fire suddenly burst out from outside the high wall. It was more than three feet high and the flames were bright. This was not a sound that could be made by simple kerosene bombs, but a mass killing in the army. Only the flame outlet of the fire oil tank can create such a fierce flame.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of screams that were not like human voices came from outside the high wall, but anyone who was sprayed by such oily flames had a very slim chance of survival.

The kerosene cabinet hurt people, and also hurt the fence tree planted by the Yun family outside the wall. Li Si looked gloomy and roared at the general standing not far away: "Drive those murderers away a hundred steps away and kill them." The people are mine.”

The general promised, and immediately hundreds of people opened the side door and got out. A moment later, the sound of killing broke out.

Wu Mei looked at her reckless daughter and said, "The reason why they set fire here is probably because they want to draw the Yun family into the battle group. Why don't you think more about it?"

Li Si said angrily: "So what if they think so, we will beat and kill anyone who hurts the Yun family, and they will no longer have that thought."

Wu Mei said with a smile: "Are you the master of the Yun family?"

Li Sidao: "Eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, after I officially enter the family, I will no longer care about family affairs. From now on, I will make the final decision on these things."

Wu Mei let out a long sigh and said: "Yun Chu is so calculating. This is a royal dispute. It's not good for him to get involved. It's no problem for you, Princess An Ding, to get involved. After all, this is also a royal dispute.

After you return to Chang'an, you should get married as soon as possible and give birth to the Yun family's eldest grandson as soon as possible. Only in this way can you be stable. "

Li Sicai was about to nod when he heard a roar, and the tall courtyard wall of the Yun family collapsed. Wu Mei was shocked, and was firmly protected by the guards in the middle. She saw a group of cavalry coming from the passage of the Yun family's mansion. After rushing out, the war horses quickly crossed the collapsed high wall and lined up to enter the battlefield outside the courtyard wall.

After the cavalry attacked, many servants immediately carried various things and piled them up into the gap. In just one stick of incense, the gap was already blocked by debris.

Wu Mei turned to look at Li Si, but heard Li Si yelling.

"Clean up the isolation zone to prevent the fire from invading. Anyone who dares to enter the isolation zone will be killed without mercy!"

Although the scene was chaotic, when Wu Mei looked carefully, she found that Yun's servants moved forward and retreat in a very organized manner. They put out the fire and blocked the openings. There were even servants who climbed up to rockery and other high places, holding long bows. Provide cover for the gagging servants.

Yu Xiurong walked over with a smile and said to Wu Mei: "Queen, why don't you go to the flower hall and sit for a while. There are naturally children to deal with here."

After Wu Mei entered the Yun Family Flower Hall from Shan Ruliu, she found that although all the guests had earth-colored faces, their overall mood was normal. There were four of them at a table, and in front of them was the mahjong game that Yun Family was proud of.

Now that the matter was over, Wu Mei smiled cheerfully and said to Yu Xiurong, "Why don't we come too."

Yu Xiurong smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

"Don't be mad!"

Yun Chu pinched Jin Yuru's ankles and threw her stretched-out feet aside.

Jin Yuru said in a charming voice: "Junhou is a rude man."

Yun Chu said: "Don't go too far."

Jin Yiru said: "Cen Changqian, the Minister of War, is the Queen's true confidant. If you want to live a good life in the future, or want to make a difference in the army, you must take advantage of this chaos to kill him."

Yun Chu once again put aside Jin Yuru's feet and said, "Yun doesn't want to participate in the war."

Jin Yuru unyieldingly stretched out her foot again, this time it went straight to Yun Chu's crotch. After Yun Chu dodged it, Jin Yuru said again: "If Fengzhou Sima Tang Xiu Jing Junhou has the chance to kill them all, then He is a person valued by His Majesty. As for the lieutenant general Liang Ying who is the sixth commander of the prince, he should be from the prince. If not, then he is from the prince, so we should kill him as well."

Yun Chu held Jin Yuru's foot and pondered for a moment: "Why are there no foreign generals involved in this war?"

Jin Yiru's face turned red and she said dreamily: "This is the Queen's decision. If Tang generals are willing to follow His Majesty, Prince, she has no choice but to reuse foreign generals. The Queen is not unprepared for this war. Most of the people who are pushed to the front are Tang people, because , even if these Tang people submit to the queen, once the prince ascends the throne, they will abandon the queen one after another."

Yun Chu pushed away Jin Yuru, who was about to throw herself into his arms, and shouted out the window: "Yun Jin!"

Yun Jin's handsome and blue face suddenly appeared at the window.

Yunchu said: "Take the people from Qingyi Tower to kill the foreign generals in Luoyang such as Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, Turks, and Mo Brown."

Jin Yuruyou, who was nestling like a cat on the brocade roof, said to Yun Jin: "They are easy to find..."

Yun Jin said angrily: "Shut up."

After saying that, he glanced at his father resentfully and disappeared into the darkness.

Yun Chu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of herbal tea, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said, "Go to hell."

“My favorite thing is an empty kitchen!”

Yun Luan opened a gauze cover and took out a piece of cooked beef with ribs from underneath, took a bite and said to Princess Taiping.

Taiping picked up a hoof bone, took a bite and threw it back into the gauze cover. He thought it didn't taste good. He took a mouthful of cheese from the ice pan with a spoon, stuffed it into his mouth, ate it and said, "It doesn't taste good."

Yun Luan immediately opened a large cabinet. As soon as the cabinet was opened, white cold air came out from inside. He almost leaned his whole body into the cabinet before taking out a jade plate from inside.

He put the jade plate on the table and said to Taiping: "Eat quickly, this is ice cream, it tastes like peach. Don't ask me why I called it this name. It was my father who gave it to me."

Taiping struggled to dig out a spoonful and took a bite. His eyes immediately narrowed in happiness. It seemed that this thing was very suitable for his appetite.

While eating ice cream, Taiping said to Yun Luan nonchalantly: "It's useless for you to please me. It's impossible for me to marry you. My mother and father will not allow me to marry you. Your Yun family already has A princess now.”

Yun Luan nodded and said: "This has nothing to do with me whether you marry or not. You are born to be the kind of person who makes people want to go out of their way to treat you well. Eat more, there is also apricot flavor in the freezer. After you finish eating, I will Get it for you."

"You like Yun Guan, right?"

"Yes, I am trying so hard to be nice to you, just because I hope you can help that stupid girl. She is obviously a woman, but she wants to be an official."

"Well, it's really stupid. When I see the promotion documents from my mother in the future, I will fill in her name..."

"That's great. By the way, we are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. What kind of man do you like?"

Taiping stopped the spoon in his hand, licked the ice cream at the corner of his mouth with his pink tongue, and said slowly: "I want the gentlest and most handsome man in the world."

Yun Luan took a mouthful of ice cream and said, "You understand, my eldest brother, right?"

Taiping looked at Yunluan with disdain and said, "You think your eldest brother is the most handsome man in the world, right?"

Yun Luan rolled her eyes and said, "Is there a handsome man more handsome than my elder brother?"

Taiping seemed to be lost in memories and said slowly: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I sneaked out with Webster wearing the mask of Kunlun Slave. After we got separated, I hugged a man who wore the same mask as Webster's. The man wearing the Kunlun slave mask took off his mask and looked at me tenderly and said: "Little lady, you have recognized the wrong person..."

Yun Luan took two bites of beef and asked quickly: "Who is it?"

Taiping was awakened by Yun Luan's words and immediately said in a fierce tone: "What are you going to do? Why do you ask? What does it have to do with you?"

Yun Luan gritted his teeth and said, "That guy is finished. Everyone in Luoyang wants to kill him!"

"you dare!"

Taiping threw away the spoon and pointed at Yunluan in an excited tone.
