Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian couldn't react for a while when he saw Chengbao, so he couldn't help but asked again: "Who are you talking about...died?"

The insurance had no choice but to repeat it again: "It's the direct sister of the Crown Princess, Zheng Shaochang's never-before-seen wife, Miss Pei."

"No...wasn't it fine before? Why..." Li Xian felt a little dizzy. He had never heard that the little lady of the Pei family was in poor health. If she was really in poor health, she couldn't tell Zheng Qi. Otherwise, this is not marriage or enmity, okay?

Underwriting... Underwriting doesn't know what's going on, he just knows such a news and informs his king in advance.

The newly engaged fiancée died, Li Xian really wanted to comfort his ex-Wang Fu, but it was already late, and no matter how familiar he was, there was no reason to go to her house later, let alone at this time, Zheng Qi Should be more quiet.

Li Xian held back and didn't go, so he didn't sleep well that night. He also felt that it was a pity for the little lady of the Pei family. I didn't expect people to die.

When Li Xian woke up the next day and went to court, he saw Zheng Qi, even if his fiancée died, he would not have a holiday, and it wasn't because of his wife's death, Zheng Qi still had to go to work.Li Xian hesitated for a while and did not condolence Zheng Qi in public, let alone this is not a place to talk about things.

However, according to Li Xian, Zheng Qi's air pressure today is indeed a bit low. He didn't speak from the beginning to the end of the court, and the whole person just stood there so quietly. explain.

But today everyone is very considerate of him, even if the few who usually don't get along with Zheng Qi are not guilty at this time - can't you feel distressed if you don't see King Zhou looking at Zheng Qi?At this time, going up to tease me is looking for death?

Li Xian thought he was very restrained, but almost everyone in the court knew that Zhou Wang looked at Zheng Qi differently, so don't be too touching with his adoring and loving eyes.

After leaving court, Zheng Qi walked away calmly, Li Xian hesitated for a while and went back to his palace first, and asked the people below to prepare some new dishes that he had recently researched, and then he asked someone to deliver them to Zheng's mansion Greeting post, after getting a reply, I changed into normal clothes and prepared to go there.

During this process, Li Nu conscientiously gossiped with his king, oh, it was a report.It's not easy to gossip about the little lady of the Pei family under the insurance policy, but it's easier for the raccoon slave to be a girl. In addition, yesterday was the day when the raccoon slave rested, so the information he got was more accurate.

"My lord, the horse that the little lady of the Pei family was riding was frightened. The little lady was thrown off the horse and broke her neck on the spot."

"What?" Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then conspired in his mind: "Why did she go out on horseback? At that time, the whole Pei family was traveling, right? Where are the other female relatives?"

This is not very scientific. Generally, noble women travel in carriages, or they have shoulders. It is not rare to ride a horse, but it is rare.

"It's the female family members of the Pei family playing polo."

Li Xian understood instantly, but soon he became a little conspiratorial: "Then why is Mrs. Pei's horse frightened? Why are the others all right?"

What Li Xian actually wanted to ask was if there were any concubine daughters in the Pei family who were favored or unfavored but had a big heart, that...well, as we all know, house fights and palace fights... girls are more aggressive than men Ruthless, don't give up if you don't die, the fiance of the little lady of the Pei family is very good, maybe she has a concubine who doesn't like it... right?

As for the political struggle, Li Xian hasn't thought about it yet. No matter how brutal the political struggle is, few people would directly stab someone with a knife. What's more, the little lady of the Pei family is not the wife of the Zheng family. Killing her has no other effect except to make Zheng Qi sad. As for the Pei family... collecting some evidence of their family's violations is better than killing a boudoir girl Useful.

After hearing this, the raccoon slave said tactfully: "I heard that at that time, the little lady of the Pei family was dressed up for a trip, she put powder on her body and brought an incense ball, and then attracted hornets to stung the horse."

Li Xian: ...This death is really...too oolong, isn't it?

However, he could tell from Li Nu's voice, probably because the Pei family invited Zheng Qi to go out together, and the little lady of the Pei family wanted to dress up well, so that her fiancé would bow down under her pomegranate skirt, right?This is quite understandable. Girls hope that the first time they meet their fiancé is the most beautiful, but in the end they deceive themselves.

Li Xian sighed and arrived at Zheng's mansion with a big food box. Zheng Qi didn't say much when he saw him coming. The conversation between the two was: "Are you here?"

"Well, I brought something delicious here, Qingcheng come and taste it."

Then... I stopped talking. In fact, although eating silently is a well-bred behavior, when Zheng Qi and Li Xian are eating alone, this rule is basically useless——Zheng Qi Up to now, Li Xian's stinking problem has not been corrected, but he was taken with a little bit of no rules.

As a result, Li Xian was very quiet today. He was quiet because he didn't know how to comfort Zheng Qi. The relationship between him and Zheng Qi had to say such a sentence, it would be better not to say anything.

Li Xian took a closer look at Zheng Qi, and found that although Zheng Qi looked the same as usual on the surface, Li Xian keenly felt that the other party was actually a little disappointed. After all, his fiancée died, and it was more or less because of him. , Maybe Zheng Qi also blamed himself a little bit.

Zheng Qi picked and ate while drinking, and he had to say that food does have the effect of calming emotions. Some of the things Li Xian brought were sweets - he also forgot where he saw it, saying that sweets can make people feel better. People's mood becomes better, and the wine is also slightly sweet rice wine.

When Zheng Qi was halfway through eating, the air pressure around his body was no longer so low. He looked at Li Xian who was sitting across from him and looked at him eagerly and smiled slightly: "Why are you so quiet today?"

Li Xian twitched his lips and asked, "I'm waiting for your evaluation. Several of these dishes are new. You haven't tried them before. How do you feel?"

Zheng Qi looked at the colorful dishes on the table and said: "Well, it's not bad, what's this called? It tastes good, how did you get these colors? It's so pretty."

Zheng Qi was referring to those dim sums with beautiful colors, and Li Xian pointed to the dishes that Zheng Qi thought were delicious, and said, "This one is called Gongbao Chicken. These colors are all made with vegetable juice, how about it? good-looking?"

In fact, it should be Kung Pao Chicken. Regardless of Li Xian remembering who gave him popular science, Kung Pao is actually an official name in the Qing Dynasty. This dish was originally a private dish of Kung Pao, so it was called this name , it is inappropriate to use this name here, so I simply changed the word, but unfortunately this is a fried chicken without chili, after all, chili has not been introduced yet, although cornel and the like can be used There are spicy things instead, but I always feel that the taste is different, so Li Xian simply refused to let them put it.

Zheng Qi looked at the dishes on the table and laughed at Li Xian: "You are also interested in eating and drinking."

"Food is the most important thing for the people." Li Xian was not at all embarrassed.

Zheng Qi watched the coldness in Li Xian's eyes fade away, and his eyes softened. He knew that Li Xian came here to comfort him because he was afraid that he would be sad, but Li Xian never mentioned the little lady of the Pei family from the beginning to the end. The most important thing is to eat and talk with him, and he will be quiet if he wants to be quiet.

I have to say that having such a caring person at such a time still makes Zheng Qi feel very warm.

To paraphrase a word, Li Xian made Zheng Qi feel that there is true love in the world.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm fine." Zheng Qi couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Li Xian's head, successfully smoothing that black hair into a mess.

Li Xian held his head to maintain his hairstyle, and said vaguely: "Hey, don't do it, your hair can be bleeding or bleeding, and your hairstyle can't be messed up!"

"It's all messed up." Zheng Qi withdrew his hand and asked, "These dishes should have been dedicated to the lady, right?"

"Enn, Auntie said, it's going to be used as a national banquet dish." Li Xian said a little unhappy when he said this: "Why do you give those Japanese people such good food? They will think it's very good if you give them any rice balls in their place. .”

The Wa people mentioned by Li Xian are the predecessors of the Japanese. As a patriot who grows flowers, Li Xian doesn't have much affection for Japan, and the state banquet this time is actually for hospitality.

Of course, this time the envoys who came to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute were not only from the Wa Kingdom, but also the envoys of the King of Borneo and the King of Huan came to the DPRK together. The Borneo was probably on the other side of India. Think of them as Indians in front of them. The King of Huan is actually the later Vietnam. , these two countries are not good things, so Li Xian started to complain.

Of course, he also knows that the state banquet and the like also represent the face of Datang, no matter what, it is impossible to make it too shabby, so he is just complaining to Zheng Qi, and part of the reason is that he wants to divert Zheng Qi's attention Li, business or something should be a good excuse, anyway, as long as he doesn't think about the little lady of the Pei family anymore.

Until this time, Li Xian had to say that it was good for Zheng Qi not to like the little lady of the Pei family so much.

Zheng Qi heard the dissatisfaction in Li Xian's tone and couldn't help asking: "Do you have a problem with them? Why?"

This brat has been wandering around Chang'an, and he hasn't even visited Chang'an City. How could he be so dissatisfied with the countries around Datang?Zheng Qi remembers that these three countries are still quite honest, and have always been attached to the Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, they will let the envoys bring tribute to Tang. Compared with Tubo, Yantuo tribe, Goguryeo, Silla, and Bai Countries that are naturally rebellious and take shame to the extreme are much better off.

Of course, Li Xian also knew that these countries were quite honest at this time, but he was so impressed with the modern history of the flower growers, even if he didn't know it by heart, at least he knew things like the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.

I couldn't help it, so I talked to Zheng Qi about science. Rao Zheng Qi thought he had experienced a lot, and he couldn't help but feel sad after hearing that the land where he grew up had suffered such a disaster—that period of history was too dark. Although Li Xian's words were rather rough, Zheng Qi couldn't help but think of the chaotic days in the Tang Dynasty.

It’s just that during Zheng Qi’s time, no matter how chaotic the Tang Dynasty was, he had never been bullied like this. After Li Xian finished speaking, he calmed down and said, “Why are you so excited? You also said that it happened more than 1000 years later.” , Since you know, can’t you do something? The Japanese will learn from Datang, so their strength is not enough now, so don’t let them develop!”

Li Xian looked at Zheng Qi, pursed his lips, yes, when he first traveled here, he was also very ambitious to make Datang more prosperous, but what happened next really hit him—— Even surviving in this dynasty has become a problem, how can he dare to do other things?

Now his life is better, but since he entered the court, he discovered that many things can not be just talked about. It's only relative.

Li Xian shrank his neck and said, "I...I'm afraid I can't do it. That's why I told you."

As soon as Zheng Qi heard it, he knew that Li Xian wanted to pin his hopes on him. Zheng Qi himself was very sure about Xuan Ma's worship, but he was young now, no matter how old Gaozong was. Regardless of seniority, it is impossible for him to go to work in charge of the central government now. Prime Minister Gan Luobai has a condition, and such a thing cannot happen in this peaceful and prosperous age.

Zheng Qi didn't know how to educate Li Xian anymore, he couldn't figure out why Li Xian always lacked such a little ambition?

Because before he crossed over, he was just a dead otaku, dear, he was barely considered a technical geek, and what he knew was technology that was of no use to this era. All he could do was make an advance notice, which was still a stick to more than 1000 years later.

Li Xian talked to Zheng Qi about a lot of history that he knew. He didn't mention many details when he told Zheng Qi before. Although he didn't remember much himself, he just took this opportunity to say more.

Zheng Qi was also listening very seriously, and finally said that the curfew was about to come, Li Xian got up decisively and said that he would go back.

Zheng Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, I'm fine."

Li Xian hesitated for a moment before asking: "Your real lady...isn't Miss Pei?"

Zheng Qi shook his head: "Before... when I was my age, I was still exposing my qualifications. I was not worthy of Miss Pei, no matter my background or official position."

Li Xian resolutely shut up, since his fiancée just died, he couldn't ask which family Zheng Qi's real wife should belong to, so he didn't say much.

Recently, the envoys from the imperial court have diverted everyone's attention from this matter, but Datang has experience in dealing with such things, so just follow the previous example. The most attractive thing is Li Zhiti. Come out to go to Liangzhou on a west tour!

After hearing Li Zhi's words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stopped fighting, and temporarily united the front to persuade Li Zhi: "Sage, don't be a moth. You see, the court is so busy now, and there are wars and conflicts." The envoy is here, not to mention that the weather has turned cold now, it is too hard for you to go out at this time.

Not to mention that the courtiers are not willing, in fact, even Empress Wu and the princes and princes are not willing to let Li Zhi go out - Li Zhi's health is getting worse and worse, and he has just recovered a little recently, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the west is worse than Chang'an. It's even colder, what if I get sick after going out?

Li Zhi is a very thoughtful person. Since everyone opposed him, he also explained his reasons. He made a lot of noise, and directly called all the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing, in front of everyone. He said directly: "The emperor has made a hunting tour for five years, and the group has four dynasties. This is a common ritual. I want to be lucky in Liangzhou for a while. Now I heard that it is not appropriate to go abroad. Why?"

The translation of Li Zhi's words is that it is a common practice for the emperor to go out hunting once every five years. Now you tell me that it is inappropriate and why.

Li Xian moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing that the crown prince and King Pei didn't move, he continued to shrink back decisively. Doctor Xing Xing came to Gongmin, just like in history, he started to talk one by one when he stood up, anyway. In the end, you can’t go to the saint. If you go, you will increase the workload for everyone. If you go, you will be irresponsible. Now that the central government has so many things, how can you not sit in charge?

In fact, everyone knows that Li Zhi's role in the court is not very big now. Of course, he has not been excluded, and the key departments are still in his hands. Can't stand the wind and waves.

Li Zhi was somewhat disappointed by Lai Gongmin, but what Lai Gongmin said was right, even if Li Zhi was disappointed, he would still praise Lai Gongmin for his outspoken admonitions, and even promoted him to be the servant of the Huangmen. Smiled and said you were right.

Li Xian looked at his cheap father sympathetically, being an emperor is not easy.

Li Zhi was left behind. He was not so busy every day. In the second half of the year, everyone was working harder. How to get the year-end bonus for good performance?What's more, if you are not honest at this time, if something happens and you get demoted, you will really have a hard time this year.

Therefore, in October, both the neutrality and the Peiwang party all retreated together, and the entire imperial court unexpectedly entered a stage of calm and harmony for a while.

And amidst this harmony, envoys from the Three Kingdoms came here with tribute gifts. Of course, they first sent people to notify the border officials, and then the border officials wrote notes and sent people to report.

The Borneo envoy and the Huanwang envoy came together—these two countries are relatively close to each other, and the relationship is not bad, so they simply came together. The Japanese envoy came alone.

It’s just that these countries are far away from Chang’an, and the transportation is inconvenient in this era. It is estimated that it will take at least half a month to get here—these envoys are still carrying gifts!They can't go fast even if they want to.

Li Xian was not at all interested in the envoys from these countries, so he didn't know what happened to Li Zhi, so he transferred Zheng Qi to Honghe Temple in a blink of an eye, and he was the young minister of Honghe Temple!

Zheng Qi's position is considered flat, neither promoted nor demoted, but in terms of importance, strictly speaking, Honglu Temple is not comparable to the Ministry of Officials. Li Xian always feels that... Zheng Qi has been demoted, but why?Zheng Qi didn't do anything, did he?

Zheng Qi is very open-minded, and he doesn't understand Li Xian, he said that in fact, this is a saint who is training him. If you want to enter the central high-level management, you must have a big picture. How each department works and how it cooperates with other departments depends To be clear, but this time he went to be the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, in fact... it was because Zheng Qi knew foreign languages.

Yes, Li Xian never knew before that Zheng Qi was still a language genius—after all, he had never taught foreign languages ​​before teaching Datang. As a very powerful country that is dependent on tribute from other countries, Datang is very confident. They are required to speak the language of the Tang Dynasty when they come, and we do not listen to foreign languages, thank you.

In this case, Zheng Qi is not only proficient in most dialects across the country, but also Turkic, Japanese, Borneo and so on.

Li Xian, who was two years younger than him, was immediately turned into a scumbag by Zheng Qi. Although he was reborn, Li Xian still traveled through time. The only foreign language he needed to learn before time travel was English, but this course...is really not good. No matter what.

It was precisely because of Zheng Qi's talent that Li Zhi threw people over to receive the envoys.Then Li Zhi threw Li Xian over and called it experience. Of course, Li Xian didn't hold a post. In terms of identity, Li Xian was the manager of these things, Zheng Qi's immediate boss, but everyone understood that they really His immediate boss should be Zheng Qi——Zheng Qi's age is not suitable to be the Minister of Honglu Temple, if he is really allowed to become the Minister of Zhengqing, there is really no way to promote him.

In fact, Li Xian didn't want to receive these envoys at all. He really wanted to throw all these envoys back, and then send troops to destroy them all.

But after thinking about it, he still studied seriously with Zheng Qi, and he found that Zheng Qi didn't treat the envoys of these countries as if he was facing a big enemy at all. After two days, he suddenly realized—Nimma, These countries are now affiliated countries of the Tang Dynasty. They didn’t come here based on the establishment of diplomatic relations on an equal footing. It’s enough to be polite to them, especially the Japanese country. Every time they come to bring tribute... Datang really doesn’t like it. But every time they have to get something back, this time they came here and wanted to send people to Tang to exchange culture.

Well, Li Xian used the word "communication culture" in a more polite way. If he were to make an evaluation, it would mean that the Japanese kingdom would send someone to copy it ==

Of course, this is actually a trivial matter, that is, Li Xian has a grudge against these countries, and no one else takes it seriously.However, there are a few countries that are not taken seriously by everyone, and they have gone wrong.

The envoy of King Borneo asked to surrender the princess!
