After experiencing the chaos of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Han culture was ruined and lost a lot.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty collected books from all over the world, re-edited them, revised them, and prepared supplementary policies. He made certain contributions to the reshaping of Han culture.
Unfortunately, when Li Shimin conquered Luoyang and transported the former Sui Dynasty books in the Luoyang Palace to Chang'an City, he took the waterway. When the ship was passing through Shaanzhou, the protection was not good enough. The ship capsized and the books on board fell into the water.
Although part of the book was rescued and salvaged, the book was soaked in water and almost completely turned into a ball of melted ink, leaving only a few words.
Li Shimin established the Xiuwen Museum, on the one hand, to accommodate his advisers, and on the other hand, to repair these books.
Li Ji admired the group of people in the repair library. You can imagine how difficult it is for them to restore a book through just a few words.
But even under such difficult circumstances, they have restored four volumes.
Although it is inevitable that there will be a lot of private goods in it, it is great to be able to restore a book that is almost indistinguishable from being lost.
The "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" in Li Ji's hand must have never been on the capsized boat, so it looks clean, the handwriting is clear, and the herbal graphics on it are also vividly drawn, with just a few strokes outlining a flower.
The whole picture of herbal medicine.
It's easy to identify if you follow the picture.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here and has already arrived at the front hall."
Li Jigang saw a prescription called 'Danggui Sini Decoction' and was about to study it when he saw a guard appearing in the hall and kneeling on one knee to report.
Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin.
Women with the fifth surname.
Zheng Guanyin is the Crown Princess, and her target is the future Queen.
It's not a transgression to use Jia Li.
Li Ji doesn't have such a big face when using "please see", "ask to see", and "respect".
Zheng Guanyin suddenly ran to Wude Hall. Li Ji knew what his purpose was.
"Li Sixing is definitely a talent, and he should be taken seriously in the future."
Li Ji originally thought that if he asked Li Sixing to go to the crown prince's womb to ask for someone, he would be dealt with, but he didn't expect that he would actually force a crown princess to come out.
Although he spoke very forcefully when he asked Li Sixing to go to the prince's womb to ask for someone, he didn't expect Li Sixing to succeed.
After all, the status of Li Sixing and Li Jiancheng was very different. Although Li Sixing was Li Yuan's hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou, after Li Yuan came to the throne, he gradually became a bit marginalized. He was not as favored as Pei Ji, and naturally he did not have the power of Pei Ji to change everything.
Li Sixing approached Li Jiancheng to ask for someone, but there was nothing he could do if Li Jiancheng used his status to suppress him.
Li Ji was already ready to write to Li Yuan and make things worse.
Unexpectedly, instead of being dealt with by Li Jiancheng, Li Sixing was forced to create a princess.
There is really no simple character who can participate in the rebellion and still live to enjoy the glory and wealth.
"Princess, please wait a moment, I'll be there right away."
Li Ji ordered.
The guard agreed and trotted to deliver the message.
Li Ji packed up his clothes and rushed to the front hall.
The reason why I packed my clothes was because Li Ji took them loose while he was reading.
Gao Shangyi was borrowed by someone sent by Li Shimin, and the maid Ah Jiu was left unattended for the time being. Naturally, she no longer had to keep an eye on Li Ji's appearance.
When Li Ji rushed to the front hall, Zheng Guanyin was sitting behind a long table, silently sipping a glass of sweet wine.
Sweet wines in the Tang Dynasty were mostly brewed from fruits, with mixed, impure and sour colors.
If you cook it with frosting sugar and dried fruits, it will be sweet and sour without too much alcohol taste, so it is a good drink.
Zheng Guanyin should be the most beautiful and elegant woman Li Ji has seen since arriving in the Tang Dynasty.
Historically, Zheng Guanyin has been described in eight words: "Shu Yun Ping Ting, Shao Zi graceful delivery".
The general meaning is that you are beautiful, have a gentle personality, and have a light and graceful figure.
The first impression I get from her is that she likes to be close, but cannot bear to be blasphemous.
According to unofficial history, Li Shimin coveted Zheng Guanyin's beauty.
Li Ji thought it might be true.
Li Ji stepped forward and bowed, "Sister-in-law..."
Zheng Guanyin was sixteen years old when she married Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji was twelve years old at that time.
As the eldest sister-in-law, Zheng Guanyin often helped Chen Shanyi take care of the naughty and mischievous Li Yuanji, and also helped Li Yuanji solve his problems.
Li Yuanji had some respect for Zheng Guanyin.
Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng were close because of Zheng Guanyin.
Li Jiancheng sent Zheng Guanyin to come forward, probably because he thought Zheng Guanyin could control Li Ji.
But if Li Ji is not Li Yuanji, how can he be manipulated by Zheng Guanyin?
Even though Zheng Guanyin is so beautiful.
Zheng Guanyin put down the wine cup and smiled lightly, "Silang, long time no see, you have grown a lot taller?"
"Have it?"
Li Ji chuckled, walked to the main seat in the front hall and sat down.
A strange color flashed in Zheng Guanyin's eyes, and he smiled slightly and said, "Not only have I grown taller, I have also become a lot more handsome."
Li Ji got straight to the point, "Sister-in-law is here today just to praise me?"
Zheng Guanyin picked up the wine cup again and took a sip, "Your brother has been busy with state affairs these days and has very little free time. He was afraid that he would become estranged from Shiro, so he asked me to come over and take a look.
Seeing that Shiro's face was glowing and his steps were steady, he must have eaten well and slept soundly.
If I go back and tell your brother, your brother will definitely be very happy."
Li Jigong cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll definitely go to the East Palace to visit you in a few days."
Zheng Guanyin was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "You have always called your elder brother brother in the past, why are you calling me eldest brother today?"
Li Ji felt a little upset when he heard this.
In future generations, the elder brother will be the elder brother.
In the Tang Dynasty, elder brother had more meanings.
The elder brother can be called elder brother, and the father can also be called elder brother.
After Li Ji learned that Datang's brother was also called his father, how could he call Li Jiancheng brother?!
"Isn't it good to call me brother? Should I call me dalang? That would be too rude."
Li Ji made wisecracks to ease his discomfort.
Zheng Guanyin said thoughtfully, "Yes, calling me brother seems too unfamiliar, and calling me brother is a bit frivolous. You have grown up and will be crowned next year, so calling me brother is just right."
Li Ji smiled and nodded.
Zheng Guanyin stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Seeing that everything is fine with Silang, your brother and I are relieved. I have returned to the palace, and Silang remembers to walk around the East Palace more often.
You haven’t seen Chengzong in a while, Chengzong is clamoring to practice martial arts with you."
The Chengzong mentioned by Zheng Guanyin is Li Chengzong, the eldest son of Li Jiancheng.
He was granted the title of Prince of Taiyuan County.
Taiyuan was the place where Li Tang flourished.
Taking Taiyuan as the title shows how favored Li Chengzong was by Li Yuan.
"sure……"
Li Ji stood up and sent Zheng Guanyin out of the front hall with a smile.
Zheng Guanyin left Wude Hall with a group of his maidservants and eunuchs.
"One or two, none of them are simple."
After Zheng Guanyin left, Li Ji stood at the door of the front hall and sighed.
Zheng Guanyin was so smart that he judged from his attitude that what he wanted to do would definitely not come true before he even opened his mouth.
Therefore, Zheng Guanyin never mentioned Xue Bao, but only chatted with him about daily life and kept in touch with him.
Compared to Zheng Guanyin, Yang Miaoyan is one step behind, possibly even more.
Of course, this does not mean that Yang Miaoyan is not as smart as Zheng Guanyin.
Zheng Guanyin is several years older than Yang Miaoyan, and has more experience, knowledge, and experience in dealing with people than Yang Miaoyan. Zheng Guanyin has also been in the Li family longer than Yang Miaoyan, so naturally he understands the people of the Li family better than Yang Miaoyan.
"Big fox, little fox, a group of foxes from the Li Tang royal family. It's a bit stressful to hang out among these foxes."
Li Ji sighed with emotion and returned to the main hall of Wude Hall with his hands behind his back.
After sitting for a few minutes, Li Ji opened "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" again. As he looked at it, Li Ji discovered that there was some private information in it, and it was actually about suturing.
It is said that a kind of mulberry thread can be used to sew the wound, and then apply "magic ointment" to speed up the healing of the wound.
This is a magical skill.
Li Tang still has many enemies now. As Li Ji, it is inevitable to go to the battlefield. If you know this magical skill, it will be like having an extra life.
Li Ji hurriedly went to see how to make 'mulberry thread' and 'sacred anointing'.
But before he could see clearly, a man burst in at the door of the palace, holding a roll of imperial edict in his hand.
Behind that man, there were a group of people, all holding mahogany plates covered with red cloth.
"Your Highness, the imperial edict has arrived."
Liu Jun entered the palace and saluted Li Ji.
Li Ji raised his head in astonishment, wondering what Li Yuan was up to, and asked, "Is it for me?"
Liu Jun bowed and said: "It's for Mrs. Chen."
"Mrs. Chen?"
Li Ji was stunned for a moment. There seemed to be no lady named Chen in the dormitory. It seemed that the only Chen family in the house who could be called a lady was Chen Shanyi.
"For Madam Chen?"
Liu Jun nodded slowly.
Li Ji said strangely: "Why did my father give the will to Mrs. Chen?"
Liu Jun had no time to talk nonsense with Li Ji and said decisively: "Your Highness, please accept the order."
"You still want me to welcome you?"
Li Ji was completely stunned.
There were many types of imperial edicts in the Tang Dynasty. With Li Ji's status, most of the imperial edicts did not need to be greeted. All he had to do was bow down and listen to them. If he encountered those that started with the word "menxia", he could still stand and listen.
If Li Jiying is needed, it should at least start with ‘氰曰’.
Liu Jun did not respond to Li Ji's words and just stood there quietly.
Li Ji stood up and told the maid Ah Jiu who was sitting on his knees on one side, "Go and tell the princess to gather the people in the house and prepare the incense table to meet the decree."
Ah Jiu agreed and prepared to leave.
Liu Jun suddenly said: "Everyone has said that His Highness and Mrs. Chen can just listen and there is no need to go to war."
Li Ji looked confused.
Li Yuan, what does this mean?
I issued an imperial edict beginning with "Edict", allowing him to welcome it respectfully, but not allowing him to engage in violent warfare.
Something wrong?!
"Then do as Mr. Liu said, prepare the incense case, and invite Madam Chen to come over."
Li Ji complained in his heart and gave the instructions again.
Ah Jiu nodded and exited the main hall.
Not long after, there was an additional incense table in the main hall.
Chen Shanyi was also invited to the main hall.
Li Ji walked out of the kitchen and took the initiative to greet her, "Ms. Chen..."
When Li Ji approached, Chen Shanyi hesitated for a while, then bowed and said softly: "Your Highness..."
