"Maybe I've thought too much." Li Shimin looked worried.
Empress Changsun carefully arranged the children's clothes and let the children run wild in Lishan. After they used up their energy to act wildly, they became more obedient in the palace.
Li Lizhi herself was still a half-year-old child and was feeding little Sizi. Li Zhi was sitting outside the hall wondering what he was thinking.
Gao Yang was still torturing the two palace ladies and asking them to teach them dance.
The quiet environment of Li Zheng Palace made the queen feel very comfortable.
Let's say that Li Chengqian finally had the courage to fight for the results he wanted.
The prince, who had been fairly honest in the past, also made his own decisions.
Walking to the alley of Dongshi, Xu Xiaode was asked to wait at the entrance, while Li Chengqian walked into the alley alone.
In order for this matter to proceed smoothly, Xu Xiaode also had to hide it.
Walking along this remote alley, there are many houses here, but they are the only ones living here.
Arriving outside the door of a small courtyard, Li Chengqian stood still and looked into the courtyard.
Zhang Yang was the only one sitting in the courtyard, holding a book in his hands. He would mumble something from time to time while reading the book, but he didn't understand what it meant, so it didn't sound like he was saying anything nice.
It wasn't until Li Chengqian cleared his throat that Zhang Yang noticed someone coming, and then he saluted, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
Hearing the words, Li Yue, who was in the room, walked to the door, bowed briefly, and then walked back to continue teaching Xiao Wu how to do the questions.
Li Chengqian walked into the hospital, "I just saw you reading and mumbling. It's not a good habit to curse while reading."
Zhang Yang put down the book in his hand and said, "I was just reading about the selection system of the clans. They use one or two highly prestigious doctors to give comments to young people. They use this kind of comments to decide a young person's future. I think this is a kind of
Very bad behavior.”
Li Chengqian nodded, "In those days, officials recommended talents to each other. In the end, this kind of recommendation gradually became the purpose of each family to use personal connections to strengthen their power and seek official positions in the court."
Zhang Yang nodded, "The bad guys are in power. We in the Tang Dynasty should have more books against this official education system and put down this backward and decadent official selection system."
The little bear woke up, wandered for two steps and then lay down. After spending the summer in Lishan, it was troubled by a group of children for a long time. It was originally the most energetic season, but now it is still drooping and lack of energy.
.
No matter how strong the bear is, it cannot withstand being tortured by a group of little devils for a whole summer.
Li Chengqian followed his gaze and looked at his head, "Has this animal grown so big?"
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I've been raising it for three years. It's four or five years old since I first brought it in."
"It's well maintained."
Li Chengqian nodded appreciatively.
"In the future, he can also be the guardian beast of the house and the courtyard."
"What a beast that protects the house. If trained well and put on a battle armor, it can rush into the crowd and fight on the battlefield. It would be a pity if it is only used to guard the house."
"Hey, what's going on with His Royal Highness?"
Li Chengqian regained consciousness and cleared his throat, "According to what you said, I had been exchanging letters with the Su family before. During this period, I found that this woman was quite talented and learned, and I exchanged letters with her several times."
Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't speak for a long time, Li Chengqian reminded: "That's all."
"Is that all? Is there no further progress?"
"I have been busy with government affairs these days... maybe I don't have the courage, so I haven't seen her."
It is not easy for the prince to exchange letters, let alone meet. It is difficult to teach the ancients to fall in love under the constraints of etiquette.
Zhang Yang sighed: "That's good, at least there is a connection. When it comes to falling in love, the most important thing is to talk face to face. This is the best way to find an opportunity to meet."
Li Chengqian became energetic again, "How to find opportunities?"
"I happen to be going to Qujiang Lake in three days. I will arrange the opportunity. Your Highness the Prince will not come forward."
"fair enough."
Logically speaking, the prince and Mrs. Su only met once. Is there any basis for feelings between the two?
Zhang Yang thought that he was very poor at that time and had spent a lot of effort pursuing Li Yue. Just thinking about that scene, he approached her under the pretext of medical treatment.
Looking at the prince's expression again, Zhang Yang said: "I will arrange to meet the Su family in the name of Yue'er in the afternoon. The girls from the two families will not say anything when they meet each other. After that, the prince will meet him."
It’ll be fine once the land comes.”
Then he paid attention to Li Chengqian's expression, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly and his eyes filled with longing.
Well, it does taste like love.
"Actually, there is one more thing. I am a little worried and wonder if my father has noticed it."
"Tell me carefully."
Li Chengqian recounted his father's interview in the Ganlu Palace, and then added: "Don't worry, the contents of the letters are all sealed with sealing wax. No one has opened them. If there are traces of someone opening them, Su
If I know, she will never reply again. Now I have burned these letters and my father can’t find any traces of them.”
Li Shimin paid attention to the growth of the prince, and even more concerned about the people who interacted with the prince. In any case, he was also the crown prince of a country.
Zhang Yang crossed his legs and thought, "Maybe your father is already suspicious. As long as the identity of the Crown Princess is clean, that's all. If His Majesty suspects that he has ulterior motives, let alone whether Su can become the Crown Princess, I'm afraid it's not Su Dan."
The whole family will be in trouble."
"Gu Ye is worried." Li Chengqian's expression immediately became solemn.
"Based on His Majesty's character, I think this matter is not impossible. It depends on whether His Highness the Crown Prince can show up the courage."
Li Chengqian frowned and was still thinking, listening carefully to the plan.
When sending the prince off, Zhang Yang saw that he was still frowning and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. I think there is still a great chance."
"I hope." Li Chengqian took a deep breath and walked out of the alley.
After the prince left, Li Yue walked out of the room, "This matter makes the emperor very embarrassed."
"Teaching people to fall in love is indeed a very tiring thing." Zhang Yang looked at a pimple next to Li Yue's eyebrows, "Have you been angry lately?"
Li Yue shook her head, "I don't think so."
She hurriedly covered the small pimple next to her eyebrows with her bun, and poured another glass of water. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. The yard is so big, even Xiao Wu heard it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Yang took the gentle tea and said, "I think the three volumes of Red Mansions, Butterfly Lovers and The West Chamber are very effective."
"What effect?"
"Love! This is the enlightenment of love, which makes all the boys and girls in the Central Plains have the yearning for love."
Li Yue stared blankly, "Husband, aren't you ashamed to say this?"
Zhang Yang looked calm, "What's so shameful about this? Love is a normal human emotion."
"My husband is right." Li Yue sat down aside, "With love, I am willing to accompany my husband no matter how hard or tiring it is."
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
"I want love too."
The milky words broke the atmosphere between the two. Zhang Yang lowered his head and looked at Xiao Wu, "You are still a child, do your questions."
Xiao Wu pursed his lips unconvinced, walked quickly back into the room, and continued to answer questions in a muffled voice.
The vicious emperor threatened the official rites.
You cannot reason with the emperor. You must first accumulate strength and gain a greater say before you can reason with the emperor.
Lishan wants to develop for the sake of a better retirement life and to preserve the stability of the family.
The couple got up before dawn. They hadn't gone to court for a long time. When they woke up so early, Zhang Yang was still drowsy.
Li Yue patiently helped put on the official uniform, "Has your husband lost weight?"
"Have it?"
"Well, official uniforms look a lot more generous."
After taking a closer look and confirming that there was nothing wrong, Li Yue put on her coat again and said, "I'll prepare hot water for your husband to wash up with."
The yard was quiet. Since he and Xiao Wu changed rooms, the little bear also returned to his den to sleep.
When I opened the door and walked to the yard, it was still asleep. It was a rare opportunity for it to regain its energy.
Li Yue made the porridge, and Xiao Wu woke up early. She was washing up with dull eyes and no energy.
After a simple breakfast, Zhang Yang picked up his wat board and hurriedly walked out of the house.
Walking all the way from the alley to Chang'an City, there were already many pedestrians on the streets.
People's daily routine changes according to the four seasons. In summer, the temperature in the morning is the most comfortable, so people get up early and start working hard for the day's livelihood.
Walking all the way from Zhuque Street, Zhang Yang entered the Imperial City and arrived in front of Chengtian Gate.
Waiting for the palace door to open, Zhang Xiangxiang looked back, still a little dazed, looked back again, and rubbed his eyes vigorously after confirming.
When he stepped forward again, he remained silent but couldn't say anything.
"His Majesty said that if Wulao doesn't go to court, he will let Xu Jingzong govern the Western Regions. I thought of my old friendship and came here."
"really?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingzong appeared behind him at some unknown time.
He first saluted towards Chengtian Gate, Xu Jingzong looked sad, "The junior official works day and night for the sake of the country and for diplomacy. Why would your Majesty say this?"
Zhang Yang stood up again holding the wat board, "I'm just kidding, if someone like you really went to the Western Regions, he might come back halfway."
Xu Jingzong laughed awkwardly, "I'm actually not that miserable."
Not long after, Zhang Dashu also came. He was not in good spirits and had been busy compiling translations until late at night.
Chengtian Gate opened, and a group of civil servants and military officers walked in.
Li Baiyao also came at the right time.
Zhang Yang led his team of the Ministry of Rites into the Tai Chi Hall again and stood among the six ministers.
A minister who had not been in court for a long time suddenly appeared in the court hall, and there was a lot of discussion at the moment.
Li Chengqian stood at the front of the court class and glanced specifically at the position of the Ministry of Rites.
It is important to have a good relationship with the emperor, and it is equally important to have a good relationship with the prince.
It doesn't matter whether it's the workplace or the court. If you work hard for your boss, you will be praised and you will be praised as a good employee.
If you can kill people and set fires with your boss, you will become the boss's most trusted person.
It's hard to say whether Li Chengqian can become the future boss, but he should help because of friendship.
Just when he was thinking about it, Zhang Yang found a figure standing in front of him. He looked up and it was Wei Zheng, "Mr. Zheng, you are standing in the wrong place."
Seeing that Wei Zheng didn't speak, Zhang Yang said again: "And you are blocking me."
"You are already the minister of Zhongshu, and you should stand in the ranks of Zhongshu."
Zhang Yang looked back at Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong added: "I think Zhang Shangshu's position is quite good. He can see His Majesty just by raising his eyes. How friendly he is."
Zhang Yang nodded, "Well, it's not bad."
Wei Zheng listened to the two singing in harmony, shook his head helplessly, and walked away.
Li Shimin appeared in the court on time, with firm steps and a confident smile. He sat upright on the throne, exuding the unique domineering power of the Khan of Heaven.
Zhang Yang followed the officials and saluted.
"Your Majesty! I heard that Ashinadur has returned to Chang'an City. Why has the Ministry of Rites delayed making arrangements?"
The words reached his ears, and Zhang Yang felt extremely regretful as to why he had come to court.
I’ve known about impeachment all day long, but I still don’t want people to be good officials.
Xu Jingzong stood up and replied: "The Foreign Affairs Council has handed over many matters to the Ministry of Education, but the reason why it did not treat Ashinadur is because the Ministry of Education is still considering it."
"Ashina has always been the surname of the Turkic royal court. This is a serious matter, so we should be cautious."
Xu Jingzong's reply silenced the court, Zhang Yang secretly gave a thumbs up, he is indeed the second-in-command of my etiquette department.
Another civil servant stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Ministry of Rites secretly sent Li Yifu, a subordinate of the Ministry of Rites, to Liaodong as an envoy to Goguryeo. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Zhang Elephant stood up and replied: "It is a normal process for Li Yifu to move from Menxia Province to the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Personnel has approved it and registered it. Furthermore, the Foreign Affairs Commission has always had the right to send envoys independently. This is
If you have any objections to the arrangements between His Majesty and the Central Secretariat, you can write a memorial and submit it to the Central Secretariat, who will then make a decision."
What you said is impartial. Our team at the Ministry of Rites is strong, and everyone has been impeached many times, and they even have experience?
Another civil servant stood up and preached to the class: "I don't know what the purpose of sending Li Yifu to Goguryeo is."
Zhang Dashu then stood up and explained: "There are many arrangements for asking about Goguryeo. You can ask the Foreign Affairs Council for matters, but the Foreign Affairs Council can report to the Ministry of Education and His Majesty. It has nothing to do with you."
There was silence in Tai Chi Hall.
This is the cohesion of the Diplomatic Academy. Under Zhang Yang, everything is twisted into a rope.
"I heard that the Foreign Affairs Council is preparing for the enshrinement of Zen. Do you dare to ask Your Majesty if you want to go to Mount Tai to be enshrined?"
Hearing this, Li Baiyao said loudly, "The Ministry of Rites has never done anything about consecrating Mount Tai. Tang Jian did tell the official about it at the beginning, but he already refused."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Is this the case with Tang Jian?"
Tang Jian stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. At that time, Li Shilang did reject the suggestion of the subordinate."
After saying this, Tang Jian bowed again and said, "I have been guilty of talking about the matter of becoming a Zen monk."
Li Shimin didn't speak, let alone punish him. It seemed that the Khan of Heaven seemed a little hesitant about Feng Chan.
Finally Tian Khan spoke, "Impeachment must have evidence. If there is no evidence, it will be fine."
Zhang Yang had not gone to court for more than half a year, and Zhang Yang had a very bad feeling in his heart. This was the first day he resumed going to court. Why did so many people come to impeach him?
Or should we all make an appointment together.
The generals were almost offended to death, and the civil servants were eager to tear themselves alive.
It is better to rely on one's own father-in-law than anyone else. With the emperor at his side, at least his own life is safe.
