Yeon Gaesumun toasted, and Wang Jing responded. Everyone greeted each other and laughed.
The laughter and laughter, the changing of glasses and the exchange of glasses of wine, highlight the joy of spring breeze.
While drinking, Wang Jing couldn't help but sigh suddenly.
This time, it’s still the same old thing.
In fact, which banquet and drinking feast did not bring up old things again?
In fact, it's not entirely an old thing, it's just a matter of the past two years.
Ever since the demon Li Sheng appeared, the world's rich and powerful families have been living in a miserable state.
He simply didn't give him a chance. This Li Er was completely out of character.
Yeon Gaesumun's eyes sharpened and he realized that Wang Jing and the others were about to have a serious conversation.
This was a good opportunity to get to know the enemy country. How could Yeon Gaesowon miss it? He immediately asked with a caring smile on his face, "Brother Wang, Brother Pei, what's wrong with you?"
"You were drinking well, why did you sigh suddenly?"
"well."
Yuan Gaisuwen's question was not Wang Jing, nor Wang Jing plus Pei Ji, but Wang Jing connected with Pei Ji, as well as Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe, Zheng Taishan and others. They all sighed.
Why sigh? Why, they simply can't talk about it.
Wang Jing was now in a lively conversation, and naturally he also talked about the many changes in the Tang Dynasty.
Since the appearance of the evildoer Li Sheng, countless troubles have arisen in the Tang Dynasty.
Imperial examination, printing, pen making...
Which of these conditions is not directed at their five surnames and seven looks?
Now the entire Tang Dynasty court is simply...
"Above the court, rotten wood is the official! Between the palace and the emperor, animals eat the wealth! The wolf-hearted and dog-eating disciples are in power, and the servile and servile disciples are in charge..."
"But now our true gentleman's character can only be buried in the dust..."
"The world is getting worse, the world is getting worse!"
Wang Jing simply burst into tears, Ma De, Huang Zhong destroyed and abandoned, the earthen cauldron thundered, this is it.
No wonder Qu Yuan wanted to jump into the river.
"Alas, today we know Qu Zi's hatred, alas!"
Wang Jing and others lamented, and then drank wine one after another.
However, while everyone was grieving, Yeon Gaesumun became interested.
In his opinion……
Li Sheng's operations seem to be something...
After a pause, he saw everyone was drinking and silent, so he took the initiative and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Pei, besides the imperial examination, does Li Sheng have other measures?"
"When I was in Goguryeo, I heard that there was a saint in the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty's national power has made great progress, could it be that he is also this person..."
"In this regard..."
Wang Jing was startled when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but think hard.
After a long while, he finally showed a disdainful look.
"By the way, this Li Sheng did have a lot of strange tricks. Apart from introducing potatoes and sweet potatoes, which ones are useful? Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty has a proliferation of strange things, and this Li Sheng is simply a disaster for the country!"
Where people have many skills, strange things breed. This is a story about governing a country in the Tao Te Ching.
However, Taiqing Daozu spoke in a subtle way, and his words originally pointed to a social phenomenon similar to the "Tulip Bubble" in later generations. Of course, in addition to tulips, there are other bubbles...
But generally speaking, the main point of this narrative is the bubble phenomenon, which is the phenomenon of people irrationally chasing things with no value. In the end, it undermines national power. It is not what it seems literally.
But at this time, Wang Jing's quotation aroused Yeon Gaesumun's interest.
From what these nobles who have lost power in the Tang Dynasty say, this Li Sheng should not be the kind of jester who fights chickens and lackeys. Promoting talents at the bottom is the only way to develop the potential of the people while restraining the expansion of the aristocracy...
Although Yuan Gaisuwen was a Hu, he did not read any Chinese books except military books. But just because he was a Hu, he also knew very well... Shi Leneng, the king of Hou Zhao, rose up in the super troubled times of the late Jin Dynasty, and he invented the "
"Imperial Examination" is of great concern.
Hou Zhao, Jie clan...
This thing destroyed the Jin Dynasty, the most popular among the Han people, but on the other hand, the Hu people were not always friends with each other.
Shi Le was also the life and death enemy of the Xianbei clan back then!
In this case……
From the description, this guy seems like a dandy, but from his actions, it’s clear that he has big intentions...
How could another Shi Le be really addicted to strange objects?
Immediately afterwards, Yeon Gaesumun asked again, "What else did Li Sheng do? The proliferation of strange things is indeed a disaster for the country..."
"Oh, it is a great misfortune that your Tang country could produce such traitorous ministers!"
"How can you say it's not true?" Wang Jing snorted in various ways, "This demon has got a lot of strange things!"
There was a smile on Yeon Gaesumun's lips.
The preparation is almost complete.
Okay... Let’s start exploring.
"Oh...this is really, alas!..."
"But what are these sweet potatoes and why have I never heard of them?"
"Sweet potatoes and potatoes are actually a kind of food."
Wang Jing raised his glass and took a sip, "It's just food. Our country is rich in products, so it's not like we don't have them all. But to be able to ascend to the court with such things is simply ridiculous!"
"Potatoes and sweet potatoes...grain..."
Wang Jing yelled and angrily denounced Li Sheng's numerous crimes, and then the other people around him, Pei Ji, Li Tiancheng, Cui Baihe and others, also shared the same hatred and cursed Li Sheng. This guy is simply a standard lucky person.
Of course, they also scolded Li Er for dragging a savage from the countryside into the court just because of potatoes and sweet potatoes.
In this river?
This is simply too unreasonable!
but……
While everyone's faces were filled with anger, Yeon Gaesumun on one side quietly frowned...
etc……
Something's wrong...
This Li Er is also a powerful character who is accustomed to fighting. If it weren't for this guy, he would have sent his army south long ago. The people this guy used before were Wei Zheng, Yu Chigong... all of them are powerful people, come on casually
Once they reach the border, they will be unable to carry out their plans to go south.
Will Li Er bring a bastard to the court?
In the words of this group of people...Yeongae Suwen thought about it for a moment and felt that there were too many loopholes.
And there is another crucial point, this "food"...
It bothered him too much.
This is food... A country can have no jewels and treasures, beautiful beauties, good ministers and brave generals, and even a king, but...
We must not live without food. Without food, coups and riots can happen countless times in the blink of an eye. No matter how powerful a force is, it will fall. An army of hundreds of thousands will turn into a hell on earth in an instant.
So, Li Er is...
"These potatoes and sweet potatoes... don't sound like much at all. What's so unique about them? How could Li Er appreciate them so much?"
Yuan Gaisu Wen smiled playfully, "Is it possible that Li Er finally became the emperor and was so happy that he lost his head?"
