Chinese dining table

Chapter 913

Li Chengxiu's unreasonable thoughts and actions, in the eyes of Li Ji and Yunchu, are undoubtedly naive and ridiculous, but neither of these two people stopped him, or said something against him.

Li Ji felt that his son needed to be beaten by the society in order to continue to grow.

Yunchu thinks this ridiculous idea is extremely precious and needs constant care.

Therefore, in the early morning, Li Chengxiu once again came to the Chinese army camp where the emperor was, waiting for the emperor to summon him, but this time, Li Si, Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi were all accompanying him.

The morning court in the field is still solemn and solemn, except for the tall and majestic palace, all the conditions for opening the morning court are not lacking here.

There are emperors who hold the sun and moon in their hands and can decide the fate of the world, there are civil servants who are as deep and heavy as white elephants, there are generals who are as fierce as tigers, and there are even invincible armies like wolves.

With these four things, even if Li Zhi's early court was opened on a piece of grass, the whole world should listen attentively.

Li Zhi was sitting on a blanket, behind him was an endless wheat field that was about to be harvested.

There are many people participating in today's court meeting, and the main issue is to allow those vassal states to follow the emperor to the top of Mount Tai.

This is a great honor for the vassal state. The country that can climb Mount Tai with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will become a country that will not be conquered in the true sense of the Tang Dynasty.

Yunchu was sitting at the ninth place in the ranks of civil servants on the emperor's right hand. The three-beam Jinxian crown and the sense of majesty exuded by the purple robe made people ignore his excessively young face compared with his neighbors on the left and right.

That's right, just two days ago, Yunchu surpassed the Duke of Lantian County to become the Duke of Lantian County. If he goes one step further, he will be the highest peak Duke that a minister can achieve.

His position has also changed from Chang'an Deputy Liubei to Chang'an Liubei. However, he still holds the position of Wannian County Magistrate concurrently. Even for now, this is his main responsibility. As for Chang'an Liubei, there is also Liu Rengui Well, it can be said that as long as Liu Rengui does not die, Yun Chu, the Chang'an stayer, will always be just a name.

Datang officials now have no way to make an accurate positioning of Yunchu's official position, and no one even knows whether this person is a general or a civil servant.

Therefore, Yunchu's current situation is rather bad, just like a bat, I don't know whether it should be classified as a beast or a bird.

The debate in the court was extremely fierce. Honglu Temple, the Chief Guest Division of the Ministry of Rites, and the chief officials of the Beijing offices of the major guards all did not want to give up. They all hoped that the vassal state recommended by their departments could have this glory.

Although the vassal states were competing for places, the people in charge of the debate were all Tang officials, and no one from the vassal state could see it.

I don’t know since when these people were no longer seen in the Tang Dynasty.

Back then, whether it was the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong, or the various tribes of the Western Regions, or the envoys of the vassal states such as Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Nanzhao, they would often appear in the court hall of the Tang Dynasty.

Envoys from Tubo, the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong, and various ministries of the Western Regions were even qualified to stand in the court of the Tang Dynasty and participate in the debates on the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty. The highest etiquette for the emperor to drink.

It is not possible now, for the envoys of the vassal states to meet the highest diplomat of the Tang Dynasty, Honglu Siqing, it is already a great diplomatic success for them. If they want to meet the prince, Li Hong usually does not have such leisure time.

As for meeting the emperor, they no longer wanted to do such a beautiful thing.

Today's vassal states are of little importance to the Tang Dynasty, and the important officials in the court are not willing to have close contact with them. Once a general reports that he has destroyed another country and sends his monarch to Luoyang to express his merits, everyone will Not good looking.

For the Tang Dynasty, the real vassal states were the Wa Kingdom and Tubo.

The Tubo people have been migrating westward over the years, and they are farther away from the border of the Tang Dynasty. However, there is never a shortage of tribute, and it is more abundant every year.

As for the Wa Kingdom, apart from frantically sending Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty to deliver tribute, they lived honestly on their own small island and did not make any sounds that would cause Tang Dynasty to misunderstand.

Honglu Temple, the Chief Guest Division of the Ministry of Rites, and the Protectors are not competing for the places for the vassal states to go up the mountain. On the contrary, they are fighting for their own yamen. After all, there is a limit to the number of officials who can go up to Mount Tai with the emperor. Yes, there are only 99 people, which means ninety-nine return to one.

In the Tang Dynasty court, it was easy to find 99 people with high reputations who were the Shaoqing of Bihonglu Temple, the hosts and guests, the chief historians, and the chief historians of the governor's house.

Therefore, if these people want to gain the glory of following the emperor Fengchan Taishan, they can only use the idea of ​​​​the quota of the vassal state.

Li Zhi was very bored, so he grabbed a few ears of wheat that were about to ripen from the farmland behind him from time to time, crushed them in his hands, and then blew off the husks, eating the sweet green wheat by himself.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Li Zhi might feel that it didn't suit his appetite, so he asked Ruichun to bring a small red clay stove, pick some ears of wheat, and roast them on the small stove.

This thing tastes only if you do it yourself, so after eating the roasted green wheat for a while, Li Zhi's mouth will inevitably turn black.

Yun Chu observed deliberately, no one laughed at Li Zhi's childish behavior, indeed no one.

Li Zhi had almost finished eating, and would reward the nearby ministers with roasted green wheat. Yunchu was also lucky enough to receive four or five ears, so some people also had black lips because of eating roasted green wheat. , darker than Li Zhi’s mouth.

Seeing this scene, Yunchu finally understood a truth.

That is, people who are full of self-confidence don't care about etiquette.

Just like when Emperor Taizong was grasping his beriberi while discussing with his ministers how to initiate the major event of exterminating the Eastern Turks, it was all an expression of confidence.

Finally, when the eunuch Ruichun shouted to retreat, Li Zhi immediately got up, summoned the giant bear to guard in the distance, and burrowed into an apricot forest near the wheat field. Some apricots have turned yellow.

Until the next dynasty, Yunchu didn't understand what the result of the quarrel between Honglu Temple and the others was, but the people in Honglu Temple were all smiling, and they should have gained the upper hand in this argument.

Leaving the circle guarded by the emperor's old guards, even leaving the emperor's inner palace, Yunchu raised his eyes and saw Li Chengxiu standing upright by the roadside in armor.

Compared with Li Chengxiu who was standing still, Li Si, Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi looked much more rogue. The four of them sat side by side on a thick fence, dangling their legs in boredom.

The civil servants and military generals passing by would take a look at them, but they just left without saying a word.

It's not that these children don't understand etiquette, but because there is a princess like Li Si, if they go up to greet them, they don't know who should greet whom first.

Therefore, the officials looked at Li Si the most, and then the three children Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi. Incoming guard.

When Yunchu came out with the wat board in his arms, he came to Li Chengxiu and said, "We must pay attention to the method and method of doing things. Blindly entrusting the decision-making power to others is not a good strategy."

Li Chengxiu gritted his teeth and said, "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Human nature is interlinked."

Li Chengxiu clasped his fists and saluted, "Please show me a clear way, sir."

Yunchu looked back at Xingzilin not far away and said, "Just meet by chance."

Hearing this, Li Chengxiu immediately turned his head to look at Li Si.

Li Si jumped down from the fence proudly, came to Li Chengxiu and said, "Call me boss and I will take you to the apricot grove to pick apricots."

Li Chengxiu looked at Yun Chu, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and saluted Li Si decisively; "Boss, please do me a favor."

Li Si raised his hand and patted Li Chengxiu's chest and said, "Take off this armor quickly, don't make yourself look like an assassin."

Seeing that Li Si agreed, Yun Chu carried the wat ban and joined the team to go down to the court.

Li Ji stood in the distance and watched for a while, seeing Li Si and a group of people walking around Li Chengxiu, he said to Yun Chu who came over, "Does he know Qu Zhongqiu?"

Yun Chu said: "Jiang Ziya is the only one who has succeeded in fishing with straight hooks. It is really not suitable for promotion."

Li Ji said irritably: "The old man talked about taking from the middle and seeking from the middle, but not fishing."

Yun Chu said: "I didn't talk about fishing either. Confucius explained the difference between a gentleman and a villain in great detail. If you set a goal and the goal is friendly, you should first achieve the goal."

Li Ji said: "Perseverance, is persistence worthless?"

Yunchu looked at Li Ji and said, "My teacher is Li Yifu, what do you think Chengxiu can learn from me?"

Li Ji sighed and said, "It's wrong to do this."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Who will judge whether it is right or not?

Ordinary people cannot understand the views of saints.They don't even know the sage's view at all; even if they know it, they can't understand it.In their eyes, everything that is “incomprehensible” is “wrong.”

People can only understand what they can accept. Beyond this range, it is easy to give the wrong name, and miss a lot of good things and beautiful scenery in vain. "

Li Ji said: "Do you think you are detached?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It's far away, so I never easily draw conclusions about right or wrong, and I am always willing to test the truth through practice. What passes through practice is the truth, and what fails to pass through practice is wrong."

"So, you did this experiment with Chengxiu?"

Yun Chu looked at Li Ji and said seriously: "Isn't it what you want to see His Majesty and get the answer sooner?"

Li Ji said angrily: "Chengxiu is not your son, so you don't feel bad, do you?"

Yun Chu pointed at Yun Jin who was following Li Si in the direction of Xingzi Lin and said, "My son is also among them."

Li Ji lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against me, please help this child."

Yun Chu said angrily: "Shu Xiu didn't even give it, I will help you worry about your son's affairs, if you want me to help him wholeheartedly, first send Shu Xiu, and then serve the respect tea."
