Tang Dynasty Never Night

Every time Zheng Qi saw Li Xian's quail appearance, he couldn't help wanting to slap him, but thinking about the original Zhongzong, he was similar, and he lost his temper. Anyway, this one is much more understanding than the original one.

So he said earnestly and earnestly: "It is not very easy for a woman in this world to control the political situation, unless she is like a lady. According to what you said, Concubine Yang Gui obviously does not have such abilities."

"But there are foreign relatives." Li Xian thought of Yang Guozhong: "Women can't influence political affairs, but if foreign relatives are too useless, isn't it the same?"

Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows: "Is Mrs. Yang amazing?"

Li Xian thought for a while, as if the honor and favor of this family were all determined by Concubine Yang Gui, he couldn't help but shook his head, and Zheng Qi continued to explain: "Although Taizong and the saints also reused relatives, they changed according to the political situation at that time. Yes, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, relatives helped each other with great help, and the royal family would not do things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. The reason why relatives can occupy high positions is because of their own hard work. If relatives are in high positions without much ability, isn’t it the emperor’s stupidity? "

Zheng Qi's theory is actually similar to that of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty when he created the imperial examinations. They are all expounding a thought that is: those who are capable will go up and those who are mediocre will go down.

Zheng Qi really can't see the impoverished families spreading all over the court, because no matter what, the children from the poor families are really not as good as the children from the aristocratic family in terms of overall quality. What a disaster.

So his opinion is very simple, of course, those from aristocratic families who are capable should be hired first, and those from poor families should work step by step from the grassroots level, at least to cultivate their vision.

Zheng Qi likes to teach Li Xian through various things. He wants to cultivate him with a more long-term perspective. What’s more, what’s more, I was in a different class before——Isn’t it full to support ordinary people who regard themselves as the leaders of the country every day to study national policies?

Li Xian tilted his head and admitted that what Zheng Qi said was indeed reasonable: "But... what if the foreign relatives monopolize the power? This kind of thing happens a lot, right?"

"Then I have to mention one word - check and balance. As an emperor, you can't doubt others all the time, but you can't be completely unprepared. You have almost learned about control. Why are there lords? This is also prepared for powerful officials. Those who are capable but restless, then give him a high respect, and then slowly gather real power through official transfers, this involves too wide a scope, and now I tell you that you don’t understand.”

Li Xianzheng listened with relish, and couldn't help wiping his face after hearing the last sentence.

#Every day I have to admit that my IQ is low#

Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi and couldn't help but muttered in his heart, you understand the emperor's mind so thoroughly, why don't you just become the emperor.He had reason to believe that even if Zheng Qi was allowed to be the emperor, he would still be a good emperor. He saw things very clearly from the perspective, which was due to his own high quality and years of accumulated experience.

Although Zheng Qi never said when he was reborn and came back, it was more or less revealed during the chat. Of course, Zheng Qi didn't want to hide it from Li Xian at all. If he really wanted to hide it—please refer to the previous Li Xian Xian didn't find anything wrong with Wang Fu of his family at all, and not only him, but no one around him had discovered Zheng Qi's secret.

Through analysis, Li Xian knew that Zheng Qi knew that Li Dan was enthroned as emperor, but he didn't know what Li Longji did. Then this... has been in the Gaozong Dynasty, carried the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and assisted the Ruizong Dynasty. Extremely minister.

Li Xian has given up on comparing IQ with Zheng Qi, anyway, he can't compare with him.

Li Xian wisely changed the topic: "Wang Fu said earlier that he could let me choose what courses to study?"

Zheng Qi is used to the new words that come out of Li Xian's mouth from time to time, anyway, he can understand, he nodded and asked: "The prince is studying "Book of Rites" now, you should take a look at it, but, you You should not be interested in this, but there is still art of war to learn, which one do you want to learn?"

Li Xian said decisively: "The art of war!"

Zheng Qi wasn't surprised by Li Xian's choice at all, but he still said: ""Book of Rites" is also very important, even if you don't memorize it, you still need to know something, it can be regarded as leisure time reading."

Li Xian: ...Who would treat this kind of thing as extracurricular reading!

But his family's Wang Fu is really... all-rounder in civil and military affairs. He thought that Zheng Qi's teaching was just to teach him some things like the Analects of Confucius in Historical Records, but he didn't expect Zheng Qi to teach him the art of war.

In fact, Zheng Qi also thought that after Taizong, whether it was Zhongzong, Wuhuang or Ruizong, they all valued literature over martial arts. This is not a good thing. Not a bad thing.

After discussing the future study direction, Li Xian asked Li Nu and Chengbao to come in to serve him. He never let others get close when he was talking about business with Zheng Qi. After Li Nu came in, he said softly: "My lord, you ordered The new dish that went down has been tested successfully."

Li Xian's eyes lit up instantly, Zheng Qi looked at it and sighed in his heart, he was lazy when he was studying, but he was full of energy when he heard eating. Does he really have a future as a student?

Li Xianxin's dish is also very simple, which is Three Cup Chicken.Pork is not available for the time being. After all, he is not a descendant at this time. Even if he has ordered to go down to raise pigs, it is really impossible to think about such a thing as being slaughtered in three months, so he can only study chicken, duck and fish.

There was no three-cup chicken in the Tang Dynasty, but there was soy sauce. The only regret is that there is no such spice as basil here. I think this spice has not been passed down from India.

The taste of the Three Cup Chicken is not bad. Zheng Qi’s acceptance of this dish is much stronger than that of the previous Dongpo pork. Just eating delicious dishes can’t relieve his inner sorrow—I don’t like being an emperor, but I like being a cook. , What kind of hobbies are these!

In the afternoon, it was supposed to be time for martial arts practice, but Empress Wu brought Li Xian into the palace with an edict. Before entering the palace, Li Xian also took the recipe of the Three Cup Chicken - as long as he has a new dish, It must be presented to Empress Wu. After a few times, Empress Wu treated him more and more pleasantly. This also made Li Xian's nervousness when he saw Empress Wu alone gradually fade away.

It's just that this time, he was really careless. When Huang Changshi came to call him into the palace, he didn't ask any more questions, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught off guard.

The place where Empress Wu summoned him was Penglai Pavilion, which was regarded as the territory of the harem. It is usually difficult to see foreign ministers in this kind of place, but today... Li Xian saw him.

When he entered, he saw a man in a green official uniform sitting in the hall.Li Xian analyzed it instantly, this should be from the sixth grade.

It's really strange, these days not all officials can see the empress, most of the central government officials who can often meet them, it's not too low to go from the position of sixth rank to the people, but they don't meet alone Qualifications to meet the empress, especially... Li Zhi is not here yet!

Li Xian took a look at him and suppressed the doubts in his heart. After bowing respectfully to Empress Wu, he presented a new recipe. Yes, maybe the state banquet will be used at that time."

kindness?state banquet?

When Li Xian was wondering, he heard Empress Wu say: "Ming Wenxue, this is my Qilang, how do you see him?"

Ming literature?Who?He hadn't heard Zheng Qi mention such a person. Li Xian took a good look at the man. He looked good, looked gentle and handsome, and had a very unique temperament on him, but he was not as good as his family Wang Fulai. Too far.

The man known as Ming Wenxue did not salute, but sat on his seat and bowed slightly and said, "Ming Chongyan has met His Royal Highness King Zhou."

! ! ! ! ! !

Ming Chongyan!Li Xian instantly entered the first-level alert state.Fortunately, he thought Ming Wenxue was a personal name, so why did he forget that there is such an official position as Wenxue in this world?It happened to be from the sixth grade!

Ming Chongyan took a closer look at his face and said, "There is something wrong with His Royal Highness, can you let me see His Highness's palm print?"

Li Xian's face turned pale instantly.
