Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian looked at Li Xian in a daze. He suddenly realized that he thought he had already integrated well in this era, but he didn't expect that he was still different from the people of this era in many aspects of thinking. No matter how he tried to hide it, he couldn't hide it.

Homosexuality was discriminated against in later generations, but in this era, good manliness does not seem to be a big deal. As long as you follow the steps to marry a wife and have children, no one will care too much about raising a male favorite. Of course, if you have ambitions Climbing up, this kind of thing may become a target for political opponents to attack, so it is best not to do it.

And Li Xian knew that Li Xian liked men. To be honest, he was relieved. A prince who likes men is still the kind who likes him so much that he doesn't want to marry a wife. It is impossible for such a prince to become a prince.

Yes, when a prince strives for the crown prince or even the emperor, all his brothers are his potential enemies. Well, he can eliminate this enemy now, but... how? How about letting Mom and Dad know?

Li Xian looked at Li Xian who was silent there, rolled his eyes and said: "Okay, what's the big deal, you go and confess your mistake to Mom and Dad, if you like to go back and take you there for brother nice place."

Li Xian smiled a little while talking...wretched, Li Xian looked at him with some horror, you must know that Li Xian usually behaves very gentle no matter who he is in front of, many courtiers praised him for his dignified behavior, wit Agile, it's simply too surprising that this will put on such a look.

After Li Xian responded vaguely, Li Xian walked away.Li Xian scratched his head, this matter is big or small, in fact, after he passed through, he had faintly realized that he would be single for the rest of his life. He could accept being single, but he really couldn't accept starting a family with a woman.

Especially since he is a prince and prince, the woman he marries must have an unusual family background. The girls in the Tang Dynasty are all tough, maybe if he dares to make him a widow, he will dare to castrate him directly, okay?

So this step cannot be taken back.Li Xian was squatting at home worrying, what else could he do to dispel the idea of ​​his cheap parents letting him marry a wife?

When Li Xian was depressed in the palace, Zheng Qi, who had been absent for a long time, suddenly did something eye-catching: he wrote a letter to the prince, suggesting to set up a long list and change the election!

After Li Hong received this petition, it can be said that he went to Li Zhi immediately, and then Li Zhi discussed with Chang Chao. To be honest, this system is very good in the long run. It is the list of substitutes for officials. With this list, the imperial court will know the promotion and replacement of officials.

Of course, the long list does not matter, but changing the selection method will make some people happy and others worry. The plan proposed by Zheng Qi is also very simple, just a two-word test!Of course, Zheng Qi didn't say how to take the exam. He just proposed such a general outline. As for the rest, although he knew it, it was not suitable for one person to propose it. The court should discuss it.

In fact, it was a helpless move for Zheng Qi to throw out this selection method. Originally, Pei Xingjian and Zhang Renyi should have brought up this matter, but it turned out that something went wrong. Wait a minute, let's forget about the matter of stealing other people's credit, but I didn't expect that the major corruption case of ink was exposed before, and Pei Xingjian came to take the blame and resign - he is in charge of the election, and it is difficult for the officials below to be poor. Let go of the blame, Empress Wu didn't like Pei Xingjian at all, so she took this opportunity to get Pei Xingjian away.

Zhang Renyi was also implicated, these two people are no longer in this position, what else can they do?Zheng Qi can only do it by himself. As for whether he has robbed others, Zheng Qi's three views are not so upright in this regard. As long as Datang is good, it will be fine. What's more, Pei Xingjian is too busy to take care of himself now, so there is no time to toss about this matter. thing?

Zheng Qi thought for a long time and felt that Li Xian should be blamed for this matter. Although he didn't do anything, it seemed that a lot had changed invisibly.

Li Zhi still appreciates the general outline proposed by Zheng Qi. As an emperor, he can naturally see the benefits of this method-able officials can be selected!Those who are capable will take the position, and those who are not capable will stay on the sidelines, and it can further weaken the influence of the family in the court, so that those who have no ability can go to the side, which is really great!

As soon as Li Zhi was happy, he wanted to see Zheng Qi. Zheng Qi also explained a little bit about the part he didn't write. Li Zhi felt a little subtle when he looked at Zheng Qi.

He admits that this young man is indeed very talented, and it is not easy to think of these things at this age, but when he thinks that Zheng Qi used to be the teacher of his seventh son, and this son is now imprisoned by him, oh, he is imprisoned. He was given a copy of the charter before the confinement.

It feels like the teacher and the student have similar techniques in writing the articles of association, so of course he will find it subtle.Actually... Li Xian has learned a lot from Zheng Qi, okay?Writing articles of association is actually the same as writing official documents. Li Xian didn't know how to write official documents in modern times.

Li Zhi felt that he needed to discuss it with his son's teacher. Although he is not his son's teacher now, I heard that the relationship between the two is not bad?

When Zheng Qi heard that Li Xian didn't want to marry a wife, he was surprised on the surface, but in fact he understood a little bit in his heart. Li Zhi didn't get an answer from Zheng Qi, so he had no choice but to say: "Qingcheng, if there is any Go and see Qilang when you have time, Yan Liben has not been able to persuade Qilang."

Zheng Qi naturally agreed, and he also needs to communicate with Li Xian about this matter—this little bastard is too short-sighted, just contradicting the saint lady so straightforwardly, I really think your body is the real king of Zhou How tolerant will the lady be to you?What about dying? !

Although Li Xian was making things difficult for Li Zhi, Li Zhi was very happy about the abundance of talented people in the empire, and then Li Zhi felt that it was too much for a talent like Zheng Qi to only be placed in the East Palace, so he turned his head At that time, Li Zhi transferred Zheng Qi to Sifeng, and he was named Sifeng Shao Changbo, who happened to be in charge of Quanxuan.

You may not be familiar with the official position of Master Si Lie Chang Bo, but you may know it by changing the title. Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the fourth rank, although in terms of rank, it is not as good as the rank of Zheng Qi's current prince Zhan Shi, but this is a fat vacancy. , Everyone knows that the Ministry of Officials is a fat job, and being in charge of the election is even the fat job among the fat jobs. After taking this position, it will be the rhythm of the disciples' acquaintances all over the world.

It's just that this position is not easy to sit in. Every place has its rules. It has not been possible to sit in this position at such a young age. Datang has not yet established the country. How many people envy and envy how many people are ready to watch a good show.

However, Li Zhi is still very kind. Although Zheng Qi was appointed as the fourth-rank Si Lie Shao Chang Bo, the prince Zhan Shi still let him take the concurrent post.Zheng Qi sighed when he received the appointment. It seems that he really has to take care of the matter of the election, but before that, let him clean up that brat first.

So the bear child who was nesting at home and cleaning up his palace guards welcomed Mr. Zheng who came to visit him.

"Zheng Fu?" Li Xian was very surprised after seeing Zheng Qi: "What wind brought you here."

Zheng Qi glanced at Li Xian without saying a word, Li Xian felt the hairs on his body stand on end - he always felt that the purpose of Teacher Zheng's visit was not very good.

Although they haven't been there for a long time, there is basically no change of people in Zhou Palace. After Zheng Qi sat down, everyone left in a well-trained manner-no matter what Zheng Qi and Li Xian did, they would not let people around easily. Avoid someone listening to the corner.

Li Xian saw that his subordinates were obedient to Zheng Qi, but he couldn't help feeling a toothache. Before the toothache was over, Zheng Qi said straight to the point: "I heard that you don't want to marry Mrs. Zhao?"

The appointment of the Zhao family as Princess Zhou was unknown except for the empress and Princess Changle, and Li Xian was not surprised that Zheng Qi knew about it, so he immediately asked: "The original Princess Zhou...was it true?" Is that her?"

Zheng Qi nodded in acquiescence, Li Xian was slightly relieved, Zheng Qi looked at him and asked: "Just because of this you don't want to marry him?"

"That's right." Li Xian thought for a while and felt that something was wrong and quickly said: "No, no, it's not that I don't want to marry her, but I don't want to marry anyone."

"Why?" Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian with some puzzlement, what's wrong with this?Does he think that if he doesn't marry a wife, he can stop being an emperor?Because Li Xian kept avoiding this question, Zheng Qi habitually explained everything he did from this aspect.

Li Xianneng and Li Xian readily admitted that he was gay, but when he was in front of Zheng Qi, he found that he couldn't say it. He cared about Zheng Qi's opinion of him, and he didn't want Zheng Qi to alienate him because of this matter. There are not many friends who can make friends with each other in the era, and there are many people who know the basics...but Zheng Qi is probably the only one who really allows him to speak his mind.

Li Xian hesitated for a moment before saying: "No, well, at our time... I am still studying at my age."

Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows: "What is the conflict between getting married and studying?"

It is very normal for Li Xian to study the imperial examinations after getting married in this era. Li Xian had no choice but to popularize the nine-year compulsory education and... Late marriage and late childbirth, good health, and tired heart. I feel why he is destined not to be popularized by this kind of science. What people accepted at the time?

After Zheng Qi listened to it, some understood and some did not understand. I have to say that even if he really mastered astronomy and geography, after 500 years, the development of medicine cannot be explained in a few words. In the end, Li Xian could only It simply and rudely means that marrying and having children too early is bad for both men and women.

Then he added: "And our time was free love."

And then he was turned into a dog by Zheng Qianwang Fu. Free love is simply outrageous in this era!In Zheng Qi's view, without going through his parents, it is no different from elopement for life.

Li Xian: The ideological gap is so big that it is impossible to communicate!

In the end, he didn't explain at all, and just said that he wanted to be a couple forever, and he didn't want to marry a woman casually, and he couldn't give a name when he met someone he liked later. Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian with that look in his eyes. What Li Xian couldn't understand, Zheng Qi didn't understand Li Xian's thoughts either. A couple for a lifetime sounds beautiful, but this kind of thing... There is no such thing in the education of children from aristocratic families, let alone men. It is women, no matter if they are royal ladies or noble ladies, there are no such things about love and love in their courses-only those of aristocratic families who have their brains flooded will teach these things.

In their view, self-interest and family interests are much simpler than those things.

But now that Li Xian, as a prince, is actually so serious about love, Zheng Qi felt for the first time that his choice might be really wrong. As an ordinary man, being affectionate is not a problem, but as a prince, even in When it is possible to become a prince and emperor in the future, passion is very important.

The original Zhongzong didn't have such terrible ideas as the current Li Xian, so what happened in the end?Loving a woman is not a problem, but I am afraid that I will be carried away because of a woman. In Li Xian's narration, isn't Li Longji just wronging the country for a woman?In the end, he not only failed to keep his beloved woman, but also weakened Datang's national power further.

Li Xian found that Zheng Qi was looking at him a little coldly, and felt that it was really inappropriate to talk about these love affairs with an ancient man, so he said desperately: "Zheng Fu, you don't need to say anything else. I want to know one reason, that is... I have someone I like."

"Who?" Zheng Qi was murderous for a moment, no matter whether he really trained Li Xian as the future emperor or not, he really regarded Li Xian as a student, and Li Xian was obedient enough. Such a student is not unacceptable. As a teacher, when he finds out that there may be a student who is hooked up by a vixen, he will find a way to let her leave his student. If he is a little bit cruel, he will want to destroy him .

Zheng Qi now wants to destroy that person humanely.

Li Xian shook his head: "He...he is not here, I may never see him again in my lifetime."

Li Xian seemed a little sad when he said this, but in fact... the person he likes is just a fabrication. He doesn't believe that Princess Chang Le will marry his daughter to him when he has someone else in his heart!

Zheng Qi realized in an instant that the person Li Xian said might be from his original era, he sneered and said: "Just say what you like, the saint lady can find similar ones for you, maybe you want more Guard yourself like a jade for him?"

"It's not him anymore." Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi seriously, as if he really had someone he liked.

For a moment, Zheng Qi didn't know whether to be moved or angry. Why is his student... so determined?For the sake of a person who may never be seen again for the rest of my life, I just don't want anyone, and just live my whole life like this?Zheng Qi couldn't even imagine how deep his feelings would be.

Li Xian sighed: "Okay, it's rare for Zheng Fu to come here. I said that the pigs I raised were sent to slaughter a few days ago, and I have already asked them to make Dongpo pork. This time the taste is guaranteed to be better than before!"

When Li Xian mentioned Dongpo meat, Zheng Qi thought of the fishy-smelling bowl of Dongpo meat before, and suddenly lost his appetite, but in the end he still tasted it under Li Xian's persuasion. Of course, Li Xian tasted it first He ate it afterward.

But I have to say that this time Li Xian was a little more reliable, the meat was fragrant but not greasy, and it didn't have any fishy smell, so it could be called a delicacy.

Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi's satisfied expression and smiled slightly: "Hey, I feel that even if I'm not the prince, I should be able to survive starvation if I open a restaurant with this skill in the future, right?"

Zheng Qi calmly complained: "Your craftsmanship? Apart from the recipes you gave the kitchen, which of these dishes did you make yourself? Or... do you know where the kitchen door opens?"

After Li Xian heard this, he paused his chopsticks for a moment, and he suddenly realized what was wrong. He had read many books before that it was very difficult to travel to the past, but he basically didn’t encounter any difficulty. Could it be that you are smarter?It turned out that I just remembered it now. This is because he never cooked from the beginning to the end!

Li Xian was completely Spartan, and his idea of ​​not being a prince or a cook was completely shattered, so let him play with the kitchen utensils of this era, hehe, maybe it would end up burning the kitchen in the end.

Zheng Qi left after having a meal in Zhou Wangfu. Before leaving, he said: "If you can, you'd better accept Mrs. Zhao, no more than you... If you like her, as long as you have a minimum of respect."

This time, Li Xian clearly decided not to listen to Zheng Qi's persuasion, saying that if he didn't marry, he would not marry.

After Zheng Qi left, Li Xian sat in his study and thought for a while that he had said all kinds of excuses for not marrying a wife. As the saying goes, one lie needs a hundred lies to pay back. Now he said that he likes it If he likes someone else in the future, unless he tells his cheap parents and teachers that he lied before, otherwise...how affectionate he is now will be how scumbag he will appear in the future.

md, it seems that I accidentally dug another hole for myself.

But what else can be done?Li Xian thought about it. From the past until now, his requirements have always been high. In modern times, he couldn't find anyone he likes. It must be even more difficult in this era, right?

To look good, well, this good refers to making him look pleasing to the eye, but I have to say that after passing through, Li Xian's aesthetic level has improved a lot - after all, there are too many beauties around, even the waiter around him The raccoon slaves are all delicate and beautiful women, no worse than those celebrities in later generations, this good-looking... has already gone down a lot.

Then you have to have a thin waist and long legs, isn't this requirement even more cheating?The aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty... thin waist and long legs are definitely not mainstream, and then there must be a bit of culture, temperament... There are no hard and fast rules, just match his temper, well, it's best to tolerate him being stupid from time to time.

Calculated in this way, basically all the men he comes into contact with can be wiped out, oh, no!There is another person who particularly meets the requirements, and that is Zheng Qi.

Li Xian found out later that he was willing to listen to Zheng Qi's teachings, probably because Zheng Qi was his favorite from the beginning to the end, from that beautiful face to his personality, so he listened to the other party willingly.

It's just... the other requirements are met, and there is one more thing, the other party must also like men and... can't marry a wife, well... he is still... lonely for life qaq Of course, with such conditions, finding a male favorite may be difficult It's easy, but he doesn't like those who are obviously utilitarian.

Li Xian was thinking about all these things, and ended up having his first sexual dream after time travel that night. In the dream, he was entwined with a man, and the extreme happiness made him want to wake up. In the end he was woken up by himself.

Because in the dream, he heard the other party calling Qilang, the voice was very familiar, and when he looked up and saw his face clearly, he found that the man who had been lingering with him all night was actually Zheng Qi!

Just like that, Li Xian woke up from fright. When he woke up, he found that his pants and sheets had been stained, and his whole body was in a bad mood in an instant. Such a thing, even if you kill him, you don't dare to miss Zheng Qi, okay? !will die!

So the next day, Li Xian spent the day in a daze with two dark circles under his eyes.

But Zheng Qi didn't know that Li Xian was going to scare him to death. After talking with Li Xian, he ran to the emperor and returned to the emperor, saying that he couldn't persuade King Zhou anymore, and he tried his best.After hesitating for a while, he still explained the reason why Li Xian said it, but he didn't say that Li Xian's view of love was incompatible with this era. After Li Zhi and Empress Wu knew about it, they didn't say anything.

The thoughts of Li Zhi and Empress Wu... are basically the opposite. Empress Wu is very dissatisfied with her son, even a fake son, who is so immersed in the love of her children. As a strong woman, you have to believe that in Empress Wu's heart, love Things are actually just a means when necessary, but for Li Zhi, Li Xian's behavior reminded him of when he was young and frivolous - he was not young and frivolous, and it was impossible to hook up with Empress Wu. His heart softened and he decided to release this son. foot ban.

Because Zheng Qi omitted a lot of their conversations, Li Zhi thought very simply—the son just said not to marry a wife. I won't be able to see each other in this life, so I said I won't marry a wife.

Well, it doesn't matter if you don't marry a wife, you can still take a concubine anyway, and maybe Li Xian will move on at some point - it's a joke in the royal family to stick to one another.It has to be said that on this point, Li Zhi and Empress Wu have very consistent views.

So Li Xian had a dream that scared him to death. Two days later, his cheap father mercifully lifted the confinement. Then he received two packages carefully selected by Li Zhi and Empress Wu. There are two women, one Wang and one Webster -- if you don't want a wife, I will give you two concubines first, son, don't hold yourself back.

Li Xian: Damn it!
