Tang's dining table

"When I was in the Western Regions, I heard that Chang'an was a glittering city, and the people living in the city lived as happy lives as pigs.

You know how much I paid for my life and how much effort I put in from an eighth-grade official to bring my sister all the way from the sandy Western Region to Chang'an. I hope that we, brothers and sisters, can be together from now on. Live a happy life like a pig.

As a result, after I entered the customs, I felt something was wrong. Every time I passed a big city, my heart became colder. When I stood in front of the gate of Chang'an City with my girl, my heart felt completely cold.

There is a king in the city of Chang'an, but there is no thunder and lightning in the king's hands. There is delicious food in the city of Chang'an, but none of it can be eaten for free. There are luxurious houses in the city of Chang'an, but none of them can accommodate my brother and sister.

And before I came to Chang'an, I had already boasted to many barbarians about how great Chang'an was.

Now Chang'an is not as good as I said, what should I do?

When I was in the Western Regions, I met a group of people whose village was right on the edge of the desert. Every year when there was wind and sand, the desert would move towards their village, flooding their cultivated fields and swallowing up their houses.

I thought these people would move away and find a good place to live again, but I didn't expect that every year they would plant Haloxylon ammodendron and tamarisk in the desert, and tie wheat straw into a grass lattice to prevent wind and control sand.

Later, when I passed by there again, I found that the huge sand dunes were actually motionless. Oh, I also ate the melons produced in their fields, which were really sweeter than honey. "

Li Shen frowned and said, "Would this happen to the world?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "That village is called Babusha. If King Ji goes to the Western Regions in the future, you can go and have a look. The melons there are really sweet."

"What does it have to do with people planting trees on the sand and you putting gold foil on Chang'an?"

Yun Chu straightened up his upper body and looked at Li Shen and said: "They can control the wind and sand, so that the sand dunes stop rolling and become lush and green. Why can't I put gold foil on the entire Chang'an, and then let the people of the Western Regions know that, look, Chang'an It’s really golden.”

Li Shen remained silent for a long time and said to Yun Chu: "I know about you building a house in Guangfufang, and I also know that you are trying to do it with nothing. Although I don't understand how you did it, I believe it. , if I give you enough trust, you are a person who can really cover Chang'an with gold foil."

Yun Chu smiled and said: 'So, don't test me on things that could lead to death or annihilation.

I have important things to do. Instead of wasting your time with me, why don't you go directly to ask your father-in-law. The people who came to my house that day also came because of my father-in-law's face. It really has nothing to do with me. "

Li Shen nodded and said, "I think so too. If you want to get those unruly people to come to your home together, no one in the Tang Dynasty can do it except Ying Gong.

I guess Your Majesty is thanking you for organizing those seven long table banquets. After all, this is a good thing to boost morale. I will give you a little glory so that you can continue to do this in the future. "

Yun Chu looked at Li Shen gratefully and said, "There is no wiser person than King Ji."

Li Shen snorted and said, "You have no respect for me as a prince."

Yun Chu said quickly: "We met through Sun Shenxian. In the small courtyard of Sun Shenxian's house, you don't have half the majesty of a prince. I thought you liked this kind of contact."

"It's really comfortable. When dealing with other people, I usually talk to their butts."

"Why?"

"Because whether they are saluting or kneeling, their buttocks are higher than their heads. It would be more comfortable for you here. At least you can look at your face and speak."

Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said, "You are treating my face as my butt."

"Is that thing about Babusha Village true?"

"real……"

"It's incredible. I thought it was a legend that Yu Gong moved the mountains. Even if it was a legend, the two sons of the Kua'e family helped in it, but I didn't expect it to be true. Those people accomplished such a great feat with just one hand. It's amazing."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Listening to thunder in a silent place is the most shocking thing."

"If you want those four women, I'll give them to you if you like them."

"No, I only want fat ones."

"Tsk, tsk, it looks like jade and feels like cotton. No one but an old gourmet can understand the taste. It's amazing that you, a virgin, have such insights."

Yunchu finally sent away a pervert prince, and asked Erniu to change a pool of new water, bury his whole body in the water, and prepare to drown in the pool.

This was the result Li Ji wanted. He had already stamped the mark of the military on Yun Chu's ass. It is still the kind that everyone in the world knows and visits.

As for the tree planting in Babusha, it is naturally not something that happened in the world of the Tang Dynasty.

He visited and ate the melons and grapes grown by other people. The desert in summer actually gave him a grassland feeling.

Very, very amazing.

It's a pity that such a great achievement was regarded by him as an inconspicuous footnote in the long story of convincing others.

Yun Chu did not succeed in committing suicide in the end, mainly because it was too uncomfortable to hold his breath in the water for too long.

It's already too uncomfortable when you're alive. If death is more uncomfortable than living, why seek death?

I hope Li Shen can inform Li Zhi about what was discussed in the bathhouse. Yunchu knew very well that with Li Shen's character, he would not pay attention to such trivial matters at all.

He knew very clearly how and why his younger brother died.

After Li Shen left, Yun Chu's place was quiet for half a month. Yu Xiurong's aunt didn't bother her anymore, and she seemed to have forgotten about her request for a son, Maitreya.

Yunchu guessed that Li Zhi asked Li Ji about his post-death affairs, and Li Ji's answer satisfied him very much. Then, the matter of deposing the Queen was basically settled, and Yu Xiurong's aunt felt that there was no need to help Queen Wang anymore.

Just when people were spreading rumors about the abolition of the queen, Yunchu finally came to the first ancient scientific examination he had participated in in his two lives.

If students of the Imperial College want to take the scientific examination, they must first pass the Imperial Examination. Because Yunchu performed well during the two and a half years of studying at Taixue, he was exempted from the examination.

Originally, he was going to take the Mingshi Examination. After getting the examination procedures, he found that, as Ying Gong said, he was going to take the Jinshi Examination.

The exam location is at the Sifang Pavilion of Honglu Temple in the Imperial City, just where you turn left after entering the Suzaku Gate.

Before dawn, Yun Chu got up. Cui, Naha, and Yu Xiurong, who hadn't gone home since last night and slept with Naha, came over to dress up Yun Chu.

In fact, there is nothing to dress up. The official uniform of the eighth-level official is the same as the official uniform of the eighth-level official, but there is an extra bulge on the gauze crown, and there is no bulge as long as a rabbit tail.

There is no need to bring food, not even pens, ink, paper and inkstones. If you go in the morning, you will be back at noon if you go earlier.

Yun Chu felt that he should be able to come back at noon, because the Jinshi examination only tests strategies related to important events in the world, that is, the five ways of current affairs.

According to the assessment regulations, those who passed all the economics courses were grade A, and those who passed all four courses were grade B. As for those who passed the four courses, there is no need to say that they will be dismissed.

Yun Chu strongly refused to apply makeup and powder. Even if Yu Xiurong deliberately held his arm between her breasts to act coquettishly, Yun Chu would not agree to apply makeup or powder.

Anyway, the good things are all homemade, so if you eat sparingly, you can eat them for a longer time. There is no need to rush.

The boots are new and embroidered with a monkey on horseback, which has a good meaning of becoming a marquis immediately.

After a delicious meal of steamed buns and two bowls of rice porridge, Fei Jiu drove him to the imperial city in a carriage.

At this time, the gate of the square had not yet opened. Liu Yi had been waiting there early and quietly opened the middle gate, hoping that his family would be blessed with the royal family's luck and succeed in one fell swoop.

At this point, Yunchu discovered a secret. It seemed that people who had been with him for a long time had basically lost their respect for the royal family. Di Renjie is like this, Pei Xingjian is like this, Liu Yi, who is afraid of having his head smashed by fruit even when he walks, now dares to open the exclusive royal door and let his own children out.

Therefore, Yun Chu felt that he might be poisonous.

There are many bad people standing on Zhuque Street. As long as people arrive at Zhuque Street, they are basically not allowed to go back. If you want to go back, you have to wait until the city gate opens and the square gate opens.

The saying that the osmanthus tree only has thirty branches actually makes no sense. Some osmanthus trees may have more than thirty branches, and some may not even have five or six branches. However, this osmanthus tree in the Jinshi family may have only thirty branches. There are only thirty branches on the tree.

In other words, there are only thirty lucky people who can successfully pass the Jinshi examination every year, and the number of people who take the Jinshi examination every year has never been less than 2,500.

It’s truly one out of a hundred.

Some scholars were walking towards the imperial city carrying book boxes on their backs. Seeing how they held their heads high and chests high, Yun Chu was really happy for them. No matter whether they were successful or not, this momentum must not be let down.

Everyone was a scholar, so it was not a problem to help each other, so after Yunchu was a little polite, his carriage was filled with students heading to the imperial city to take the exam.

It was dark and his clothes could not be seen clearly, so Yunchu could only endure the smell of his feet and listen to their talk.

Some said that their scrolls did well this year and were delivered to a certain princess's house. They were also lucky enough to stay in the princess's house for several days and listen to the princess's teachings in person.

Some say that they have been studying hard for twenty years, grinding through it with an inkstone, and that their knowledge has already reached its peak. This time to enter the Shishi Department is just a formality for him. When the list comes out, he will definitely invite everyone to see all the flowers in Chang'an. .

Some of them in the crowded crowd have already begun to criticize the injustice of those in power, believing that once they reach high school, they will definitely reverse the current bad trend.

Yun Chu liked to listen to them, because the more satisfied these people were with talking big words now, the more frustrated they would be after the list came down.

A long time ago, Yun Chu always thought that Huang Chao was not a good person, and could even be said to be a beast. After all, not everyone could do the thing of grinding people into a pulp and using them as military rations.

Now he began to try to understand Huang Chao. He failed the Jinshi examination many times and caused the family fortune to decline. No matter who he was, he would be very angry.

Yun Chu very much hoped that these confident students would not be angry or annoyed after failing the exam, and would go home to farm honestly, instead of following Huang Chao's example of grinding people into a pulp and using them as military rations.

The first ray of sunshine in Chang'an City always shone on the imperial city first, but now it is different. The stupid Big Wild Goose Pagoda was hit by the sun first than anywhere else. Under the sunshine, the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda became It seemed like it was burned red by the sun, and it stabbed straight into the blue sky.
