Tang's dining table

The history of Han Dynasty can be paired with wine.

A clever article can go well with wine.

Therefore, of course, clever flattery articles can also be paired with wine, just like stinky tofu. Others think it smells bad, but those who eat it will find it has a strange aroma.

Li Zhi read over and over the letter written by Yun Chu to Liu Rengui three times. Li Zhi approved of what Yun Chu wrote in his letter, regarding his understanding and analysis of the layout of the Western Regions.

He even believed that Yun Chu had perfectly understood the big game he was playing in the Western Regions, and he was very in agreement with Yun Chu's words in the letter that he was prepared to follow the emperor's ideas.

If the letter only said this, Li Zhi wouldn't be so excited. What he valued most was the action plan listed at the end by Yun Chu, as well as some methods on how to implement the emperor's intentions.

Li Zhi can lay out a grand plan, but if he has to work out a practical action plan again, he will really embarrass Li Zhi.

Yunchu is an excellent grassroots official with very strong execution ability. Therefore, when Li Zhi saw the three solutions, upper, middle and lower, given by Yunchu in the letter, as well as the emergency response when the policy implementation encounters obstacles, plans, and emergency loss reduction plans after major deviations in policy implementation.

Only then did Li Zhi feel that his plan in the Western Regions should be perfect and a super good policy.

After drinking a bottle of wine and secretly reading Yun Chu's letter, Li Zhi still had some unfinished thoughts. Among the pile of documents, he found the letter written by Rou Wen to the ancestor of the Wen family. Then, he felt that he Need another glass of wine.

Li Zhi could see some hints of Yun Chu in Wen Wen's letter to his ancestor, but what Wen Wen said here was still very different from what Yun Chu said in his letter to Liu Rengui.

Yun Chu expressed his thoughts directly, saying only that the emperor's arrangement in the Western Regions would have a long-term impact on the future of the Western Regions, and even praised that this might be a century-old plan.

What Wen Wen wrote to his ancestor was about the impact of the emperor's policies in the Western Regions on the wealthy families, and the possible reactions of the wealthy families.

This has a strong reference value for the emperor. In this letter, Wen Rou clarified how Wen should participate in the emperor's plan and how to obtain some reasonable and legal benefits for Wen from the emperor's political strategy. .

Wen Wen even analyzed the causes and consequences, background conditions, and goals of the emperor's policy from three aspects: heaven, earth, and people.

In the last part of the letter, Wen Wen decisively believed that the emperor's policy in the Western Regions did not conflict with the interests of the Wen family. She also praised the emperor's policy for taking into account the interests of the family members, and the Wen family should fully cooperate.

After drinking two pots of rice wine and reading two wonderful articles, when Li Zhi read the rest of the documents, he felt that they were all the same.

"There are so few talents available in the world. There are only three or five who can be used. The rest are just mediocre people..."

Li Zhi threw the last document on the table, sighed, and casually stepped on his shoes to the platform outside Tai Chi Hall.

The sunny city of Chang'an looks full of peace and joy after the heavy snowfall.

Zuo Chun hurriedly ran out, put on the emperor's cloak and whispered softly: "There is news from Tubo that Qinling has discovered a tunnel in the Kunlun Mountains that can lead directly to Khotan in the Western Regions. It has been more than three months since it started."

Li Zhi sneered and said: "Go, that's great. The few generals I can use are all in the Western Region. It's a big place and I can take a good look at it. In terms of Qinling, this Tubo barbarian is so powerful. My generals are still great.

By the way, is there any news from the Western Region? "

"Replying to your majesty, no!"

Li Zhi sneered again and said: "No, that's right. If they can't even deal with Lun Qinling, who is working hard on the expedition, and they still want to ask me for help, I will look at them in vain."

Zuo Chun added: "Buddha Yun Na set up a lecture platform at Gaochang Sai, which attracted worship from all the people. Her followers would rather abandon their homes than follow the Buddha to the west."

Li Zhi glanced at Zuo Chun and said: "Tell Zhang Donghai to control the limits of Buddhism's development in the Western Regions and not exceed the limits."

Zuo Chun saluted and said: "Your Majesty, such an important task may be beyond the capabilities of a rough man like Zhang Donghai."

Li Zhi lowered his head to think about it, and then said to Zuo Chun: "Then let Yun Chu make the decision. I believe he will not be partial."

Zuo Chun's heart skipped a beat, asking Yun Chu to judge whether his sister Yun Na's behavior in the Western Region was reasonable or not was very unreasonable in itself. He wanted to remind the emperor that Yun Chu was Yun Na's brother and needed to avoid suspicion, but he found that the emperor He didn't care about the matter, so he kept silent.

In the cold weather, Prince Li Hong didn't seem to feel the cold. He didn't wear a fur cloak. He was dressed in a green shirt. If it weren't for the dragon-tiger posture when walking in the palace, no one would think of the little boy in front of him. The young man was connected with the prince.

Some people become princes after putting on dragon robes. For Li Hong, whatever he wears is the crown robe of the prince.

At this time, Li Hong must have just finished class, with a book under his arm. He did not wear a gold crown, had a bald head, and did not even tie his hair into a bun. He just entered the palace with a long ponytail.

When the giant bear lying on the snow spotted the prince, he immediately ran away, but was caught by the agile prince and jumped onto the bear's back.

So, in Li Zhi's angry eyes, the stupid giant bear started running on the snow.

Seeing a giant bear stuck in the snow with its head and face covered with snow because the stone ground was too slippery, howling loudly, Li Zhi said angrily: "You are such a big man, why are you still acting like this?"

Li Hong jumped off the back of the giant bear laughing, came to Li Zhi and exhaled white air: "It won't be possible in two years. Now that I can tolerate it, it's only one more time to cause trouble."

Li Zhi looked at Li Hong, who was already as tall as his shoulders. He took off his cloak and wrapped it around Li Hong. The cloak was too long and had already been dragged to the ground. He pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you wearing so thin on a snowy day?"

Li Hong put the big cloak on his father again, did a hollow somersault on the spot, patted his chest and said, "Have you ever seen such a strong son?"

Li Zhi curled his lips and said: "Your ancestor has the power to capture tigers and shoot bears, but in the end, why didn't you stay in bed for many years?

The blood energy of our Li family is too strong, and we will suffer from wind disease as we get older. My father has summed up some methods to resolve wind disease in recent years. Wind disease cannot be offset by strong body. , On the contrary, do not do strenuous activities. Mainly stretch your muscles and bones gently and slowly, and eat more fruits and vegetables, mainly fish, to delay the onset of wind disease. "

Li Hong smashed the fish into his mouth and said, "The fish is spiny and has no taste. It is not enough to fill the stomach, and the child does not like it."

Li Zhi raised his hand and slapped Li Hong on the back of the head and said: "This stuff is like medicine for you. You should eat more of it in the future and avoid going to Jinchangfang to eat so many creamy things. It will not be good for you."

Li Hong refused to run away even after being slapped by his father. He stayed beside his father and muttered: "You eat the same food as this flower bear. If you continue like this, I will learn to chew bamboo."

Li Zhi looked at his son who looked the same as him and sighed: "When Feng Ji finds you, you will like those light dishes."

Li Hong quickly said: "Okay, starting from today, my child will eat a bamboo shoot every day."

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Bamboo shoots that have not been processed by the chef are bitter and difficult to swallow..."

Before Li Zhi could finish speaking, Li Hong immediately said: "Father, have you really eaten bamboo shoots before?"

Li Zhi raised his leg to kick out, and Li Hong met it with his hip. He then used his strength to slide out on the ice and snow for more than ten feet. Then he climbed over the white jade railing and climbed down to the high platform. From Danqi, which was more than ten feet high, he He slid down while yelling and ran away quickly. Judging from the direction he ran, it should be the Liangyi Palace where the Queen lived.

Looking at his energetic son, a deep smile appeared on Li Zhi's face, and he said to Zuo Chun, who had been standing aside for a long time: "Fortunately, he is my son. If he were the son of Emperor Taizong, he would be such a rogue." Looks like, even a whipping is light."

Zuo Chun said with a smile: "In front of Taizong, His Majesty was the one who received the least scolding..."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "I would rather not have this throne. I also hope that my father, Mr. Li, will be kind and my son will be filial, and that my family will be harmonious."

Zuo Chun quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty's wish for fatherly kindness and sonly filial piety has been realized."

After Li Hong left the Tai Chi Palace, he passed through countless palaces. Not a single snowflake could be seen along the way. As for the snow on the Tai Chi Palace, it was specially reserved for his father, so that he could go there after the snow stopped. The snow on the ground crunched.

Wu Mei obviously doesn't have such a habit. She doesn't like wet ground, let alone roads full of ice and snow. Therefore, the snow in Liangyi Palace has long been cleaned by the palace staff.

The fat and cute Li Xian is over two years old and still stumbles when he walks. The equally fat and cute Li Dan is currently lying in the cradle, grabbing the fat feet and putting them in his mouth.

Wu Mei was sitting behind a long table. She had just put down a thick stack of documents when she heard Li Hong's voice greeting her from outside.

She waved her hand impatiently, and Aunt Chun opened the door and let Li Hong in.

Li Hong came in with a smile. Instead of messing around with his father, he first saluted his mother. After his mother responded, he straightened up, put the "Five Classics of Justice" under his arm on the table, turned around and chased Li Xiangao. He raised his head and said, "Call me, big brother, come out and listen!"

"Duoduo." Li Xian shouted inarticulately, and Li Hong took out a piece of malt gummy candy from his arms and put it into Li Xian's mouth, then slapped him on the butt and said, "Every time. Cheating on my candy.”

Wu Mei flipped through the book "Five Classics of Justice" that Li Hong brought and checked the annotations written by Li Hong in the margins of the book. She frowned and said, "You can't answer in a formal manner without adding so many of your own thoughts." ?"

Li Hong grabbed Li Dan's other foot and stuffed it into Li Dan's mouth. It was not good for the child to chew on one foot. It would be best if both the rain and dew got wet.

Hearing his mother's complaints, he smiled and said: "Kong Yingda compiled "Five Classics of Justice" to unify answers and thoughts, to give unified answers to students who participated in the scientific examination, and to prepare for unifying their thoughts when they become officials in the future.

If the child had the same idea as Kong Yingda and those scholars, how could he become their emperor in the future? "
