Chinese dining table

Chapter 161 Arranged Clearly

Liang Jianfang didn't leave any room for Yunchu to refuse. Zheng Rentai and Su Dingfang had already seen the huge benefits of Yunchu's embrace of the army.

Don't think it's just a banquet, singing a few good songs or dancing a few dances that don't make it to the stage, but that's what the guards do.

This is an honor for them, and it is the only thing they can go home to boast about after they did not receive a huge reward during the Zhenguan period.

The long table banquet is really delicious, and one must eat it once in a lifetime.

What the nobles eat is different from what the heads of Guizhou eat, but this does not include these military generals.

These old-school generals, after going out on the expedition, still followed the old habits and tried to eat as much as the soldiers.

Therefore, they are not at all uncomfortable with the food in the canteen of Jinchangfang, even if it is pig meat, they can still eat it.

The army eats the way the army eats. Since it is a long table feast today, no one talks nonsense, they just eat fiercely. They didn't even take a few sips of the anti-virus medicine that Liang Jianfang highly respected.

Li Ji put the last piece of celery in the small bowl in front of him into his mouth, then cleaned up the soup in several small bowls with whole wheat steamed buns, ate them, and finally rinsed the few small bowls with tea, as if It's the after-dinner soup.

"You have a good relationship with Zhao Xiaozu, then, do you also have resentment towards the old man who blamed him?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "No, no, how dare this junior dare to criticize you."

Li Ji sighed, "That's it."

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said: "The juniors always think that one should not be too demanding on a general who has just defeated the enemy and returned to court."

Li Ji smiled and said: "The time is wrong, if this is the reign of Emperor Taizong, no matter how arrogant Zhao Xiaozu is, in front of us it is just a small matter of a child crying for sugar, Emperor Taizong will think that he just wants more rewards, Not worth mentioning, no one will associate his behavior with other bad things.

In fact, there were a lot of arrogant people in that period, among them Cheng Yaojin and Liang Jianfang were the two who did this kind of things the most.

Emperor Taizong's heart is as open as the sky, he can tolerate it, and he can think about it, and he is more confident that these people can't turn the sky.

Because Emperor Taizong himself is the most wise commander in the world.

It is different now, His Majesty has not been on the battlefield for a day, but has experienced Hou Junji's rebellion.

Although that incident was not a big deal to Emperor Taizong, the old man and others, it was just a heartache.

However, for the current emperor, it was a disaster. At that time, he had no soldiers and no power, and he was trapped in Chang'an Fang City. He was afraid that his elder brother would kill him, and he was in constant fear.

With that incident, he has a natural sense of fear towards military affairs.

Fortunately, although he is afraid, he has the courage to face it, which is very rare.

At this time, those of us soldiers should not challenge the emperor's dignity too much, get close to him, protect him, and follow the rules set by the emperor as much as possible.

Otherwise, when the emperor's fear outweighs his courage... At that time, what you are looking at is no longer Zhao Xiaozu's bloody butt, but his bloody head. "

Listening to Li Ji slandering the emperor as casually as he slandering Liang Jianfang, even in the summer, Yunchu still felt bitingly cold, looking left and right, he found that Su Dingfang sitting next to Li Ji was still eating calmly, and Liang Jianfang on the other side was eating. Ferocious drinking.

Li Ji saw Yun Chu's uneasiness, so he smiled and said: "This old man once served as the Grand Tutor of the Eastern Palace, and he said these words in front of the emperor, so don't worry.

However, Ni's cautious character is good, and in the future, until the emperor has completely established his self-confidence, he will continue to maintain this cautious style.

It stands to reason that it's not up to you, a low-level official, to listen to these words. However, the old man searched and checked the available talents in the army. There are as many as 160 seven people. Unfortunately, only three people can get into the old man's eyes. And you are the one with the youngest official position, the youngest age, and the least experience among the three.

But it's not just me, but also Su Dingfang, Zheng Rentai, Liang Jianfang and others. After checking all the big and small things you did in the Western Regions and Chang'an, you are the best among the three people we are most optimistic about. "

Hearing what Li Ji had said, Yun Chu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Pei Xingjian who was shrinking his head and pretending to be his grandson among a group of veterans.

Li Ji smiled and said: "Pei Xingjian is one, as for who the other is, you will find out by yourself later.

As for why these two people who were carefully selected by us are not as good as you, you will find out later.

However, Pei Xingjian is about to take up the important position of Chang'an county magistrate, so you should help him well. "

Yun Chu pointed to his nose in astonishment and said, "Shall I help him?"

Li Ji looked at Yunchu happily and said, "Because in a month's time, if you take the Jinshi examination, you will be elected as Wannian county lieutenant."

"I plan to test it out." Yun Chu still wanted to struggle one last time.

"No, you are participating in the Jinshi section. The old man has already registered for you in the Ministry of Rites. At the same time, the Ministry of Officials has also made preparations. Even if you don't write a word in the examination room, you are also a new section Jinshi this year. , It's amazing, it's just that the ranking is not high.

Examinations are for selection of materials, and the selection of materials can be determined by a few poems and prose in a single test paper.

In the test paper on the battlefield in Kucha, you didn’t escape, you didn’t have timidity, although you were embarrassed, even though you were defeated, you were shot like a hedgehog by the Turkic bows and arrows. Even so, you knew that you would die, but you still had the courage to fight bravely on the battlefield Rescue the remnants of the Uyghur Alliance and inspire the scattered Uyghur remnants to fight bravely.

Just this one, martial arts test!It's over here.

As for Wenzhi...hehehe"

Li Ji stood up, looked at the lush Jinchang Square, at the tall and majestic Big Wild Goose Pagoda with one pillar supporting the sky, and also at the crowded dining hall, shook his head slightly and said, "I'm the only brilliant person I've ever seen in my life.

A dilapidated Jinchangfang has become like this in three years... Over the years, the old man has seen countless talents, many amazing officials, and countless Yong Zhu's talented person is the only one who has the ability to manage a dilapidated place into such a prosperous place without a penny from the court... This old man is really the only one I have seen in my life.

I heard that you have great ambitions to transform the entire Chang'an City into the appearance of Jinchang Fang. I heard that the old man was very upset..."

Having said that, Li Ji picked up the antivirus that Liang Jianfang had poured for Li Ji, found an empty bowl, and gave half of it to Yunchu.

Yunchu hurriedly said: "Sun Shenxian..."

Li Ji laughed and said: "That old man only saves people all his life, and he has never seen him harm people. Even if we add medicinal materials to this wine, it must be a good thing that can prolong life, just drink it."

As he spoke, he put the wine bowl into Yunchu's hand, touched him heavily, and drank it all in one gulp. Then, as Yunchu looked very familiar, Li Ji froze.

Yun Chu quickly drank up the three taels of anti-virus medicine in the bowl in one gulp. In order to take care of Li Ji's face, he stood on the spot with him in a daze.

In the summer, Yun Chu could still stand firm after drinking three taels of 74% alcohol in one breath, but Li Ji's appearance was not very optimistic. Purple, and then, he grabbed Zheng Rentai who was beside him, and it was obvious that he wanted to stand firm.

However, I have to admire the old guy's self-control. After swaying a few times, he stood firm, shook his head and said to Liang Jianfang, who was giggling strangely: "After all, I fell into the plot of you, an old killer."

Liang Jianfang laughed loudly, and said to Li Ji: "I thought you would be able to count all your plans in your life, hahaha. Those who were killed in this small Jinchangfang today will be turned on their backs...hahaha."

Li Ji ignored the proud Liang Jianfang and asked Yunchu again: "Is this thing really able to reduce the symptoms of trauma and festering?"

Yun Chu nodded firmly and said, "According to the comparative research conducted by the Imperial Medical Bureau, the effective rate is around [-]%."

Li Ji didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were a little blurred, and he said leisurely: "Sixty percent, sixty percent, sixty percent is enough."

After saying that, Chao Yunchu waved his hand and said: "Today, I fell into the plot of Old Dog Liang, and we will fight again in the future."

Then, with Bu Qu's support, he staggered away. It seemed that Li Ji didn't drink very well.

He couldn't ride a horse anymore, so he arranged for a carriage at home to take Li Ji back. When he got home, he found that more than half of the people had left.

That's right, not everyone is willing to drink and eat at the home of an eighth-rank official. They can come because of the faces of people like Li Ji.

Even if they thought Yun Chu was amazing, those people who were used to seeing battles on the battlefield really didn't take such pawns like Yun Chu seriously.

Come here, just to take a fresh look and see what Li Ji said about a good person.

Pei Xingjian accompanied Yun Chu to visit another group of people, and this time, even more people left.

When there were only four or five people left, these people moved to the inner house of the Yun family.

After Yunchu and Pei Xingjian served the tea, Liang Jianfang looked at Su Dingfang and said, "Is it you or me?"

Su Dingfang looked at Yunchu and Pei Xingjian and said, "Let me tell you, you can't tell."

Liang Jianfang immediately shut up, Su Dingfang took a sip of tea, was a little dazed, and immediately said: "Fully manage Chang'an! This is the whole meaning of one of you serving as Chang'an order and the other as Wannian county lieutenant."

Pei Xingjian frowned and said, "So, has the dust settled on moving the capital to Luoyang?"

Su Dingfang waved his hand and said: "How can such a matter be so easily concluded, but it is certain that His Majesty does not like Chang'an, all of our family businesses are basically in the vicinity of Chang'an.

Over the years, the available land around Chang'an has become less and less, while the number of people has increased. Chang'an seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is weak.

The current situation is a scene of blooming flowers and blazing fire. After Chang'an's confidence is exhausted, the city will fall into the most depressed and sleepy period.

Originally we thought that the city of Chang'an was hopeless, but the changes in Jinchangfang and Qujiangli gave us hope again.

It is hoped that Chang'an can be changed through the rule of man, at least so that Chang'an can continue to operate independently even after cutting off foreign aid. "
