Tang's dining table

When Wu Mei came over, Li Zhi was the only one left in the hall, and there were pearls all over the floor.

Wu Mei's belly was already very big and she couldn't squat down, so she asked the female officer to help her pick up the pearls while she held the bucket in her arms.

Seeing that the extremely bored giant bear had chewed up several pearls for food, Wu Mei glared at the giant bear, and the giant bear obediently stayed in front of the angry Li Zhi, motionless.

The female officials put all the pearls into the bucket held by Wu Mei, then bowed and retreated.

Wu Mei placed a bucket of pearls in front of Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty can eat this bucket of white rice cooked by Yun Chu for a long time."

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei and said: "I let him go out to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, not to go to Liaodong and pretend to be a dead dog."

Wu Mei smiled and said, "Your Majesty said yesterday that Yun Chu was a rare general. Why did you change your statement today?"

Li Zhi said: "Because I have figured it out, the reason why he went to Liaodong was because he was worried that his subordinates would be tricked to death by other stupid generals.

It's not about opening up territory for the Tang Dynasty, it's too hopeless. "

Wu Mei grabbed a handful of pearls and said, "He is indeed expanding the territory. I heard from your majesty that he has captured a lot of Goguryeo cities."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "Other generals are afraid that their military achievements are not high and that they will not be able to catch my eye. It is better for him to complete the military orders when they are given. If there are no military orders, he will remain motionless."

Baiqisi also said that he had made a lot of money, and the loot he transported back to Chang'an was loaded on more than a dozen ships. Now he is taking advantage of the opportunity that the canal is not frozen to rush to Chang'an. "

Wu Mei smiled and said: "We have conquered many cities, and the cities we conquered are rich, so we will naturally capture more. And the soldiers of the government fight for the country, and the seizures are part of their profits. I learned from the secret report of Baiqisi." I learned that not all the things in these river boats belong to Yunchu, many of them belong to Wannian County soldiers."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "The Eastern Expeditionary Army is outside. I can't eat to my taste and can't sleep at night. I'm afraid that if I am not careful, I will make the same mistake as Yang Guang. It would be better for him to regard a war to destroy the country as a place to gain benefits for the soldiers. This makes me grit my teeth."

Wu Mei pulled out a hairpin, drew a pearl on it, and said, "Your Majesty may not know what Duke Ying said at the first meeting he held with the generals after leaving the capital.

Among them, the most important sentence is that the generals are not allowed to act on their own, and they are not allowed to have any whims. Otherwise, there will be worries about hanging the flagpole with someone's head.

It's not like your Majesty doesn't know that Duke Ying has always had the habit of killing chickens to frighten monkeys. Under such circumstances, all he needs to do is obey orders honestly. What else does Your Majesty plan to ask Yun Chu to do? "

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "What did Zhang Donghai say?"

Wu Mei put down the beads in her hand and said, "Just as His Majesty thinks, even in Liaodong, Yunchu still thinks about how to make the people of his Wannian County rich. As for fighting, it is just a side thing."

Li Zhi said angrily: "This is what I hate most about him."

Wu Mei looked up at the furious Li Zhi and said: "Your Majesty, you should look at Yun Chu's military exploits and you will understand that Yun Chu has never looked down on the Goguryeo people, and he has never treated the Goguryeo people with 100% consideration."

Li Zhi frowned and said, "You mean that Yun Chu is only someone else's general and is overqualified?"

Wu Mei laughed and said: "You have achieved so many military exploits with half-hearted efforts. If you were single-minded, wouldn't you be able to cover up the light of Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, a group of powerful generals?

Besides, although he has the title of General Dingyuan, his actual position is the magistrate of Wannian County. His Majesty thrust a civil servant into a pack of tigers and wolves to compete with the tigers and wolves for military glory. What could he do if he didn't have no desires and demands? ? "

Li Zhi said thoughtfully: "Would it be better if we gave him some more soldiers and horses and let him lead the army alone?"

Wu Mei looked into Li Zhi's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, did the Young Master make a big mistake?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "Everything seems to be going well so far."

Wu Mei said: "Since the Lord Ying is not wrong, why does Your Majesty want to damage his reputation as a commander-in-chief?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "I was just thinking about it."

Wu Mei said seriously: "Your Majesty should not even think like this."

Li Zhi sighed and said, "I'm still too worried."

Wu Mei pushed the pearl in front of her towards the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no later than next autumn, your Majesty's campaign to conquer the East will be settled, and your Majesty's reputation will far exceed that of the previous emperors.

It's just a matter of waiting. It's better to think more about how to enjoy the bucket of rice sent by Yun Chu. "

Li Zhi said: "It's up to you. If I eat this bucket of white rice, I might be worried about overeating."

After that, he kicked the giant bear and left the hall one by one.

It was just late autumn in Chang'an at this time.

When the yellow leaves are fluttering, it is a good time to be filled with the sorrow of separation.

Ever since Master Xuanzang left Da Ci'en Temple, flying yellow leaves would occasionally fall into the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

The last row of wild geese has already flown over Chang'an, so the name of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a bit inconsistent. Therefore, without the wild geese flying over the rendering environment, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has to be called the Buddhist Scripture Pagoda.

There are many monks in this high tower who are translating scriptures, and there are even many young monks with good looks who are learning Sanskrit from these people.

Naha's favorite thing to do is to use the slingshot given by her sister-in-law to hit the bald heads of these young monks.

Every time, as long as the hit is successful, Naha and a group of young ladies will cheer with the cry of the young monks.

In fact, this is not bullying. Naha didn't know what her brother was thinking at the beginning and actually built the bathhouse under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Winter is better. Every summer, you can often see the big thief eyes on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda through the shutters of the bathhouse.

Although people in the bathhouse can see outside because of the blinds, people outside the bathhouse cannot see the scene inside the bathhouse.

However, some female relatives claimed that they were peeped by the bald donkeys of Daci'en Temple while taking a bath.

That's when Naha led a group of lawless young ladies to punish the young monks who peeked at the women's baths.

After successfully punishing the two little monks for peeping today, Naha rode his black horse to the garden by the Qujiang River.

There, some cabbage cultivated by Yun's investment is growing. It had been a month and a half since she had seen them. She wanted to know whether these cabbages had grown as big as her nephew.

As soon as she entered the door, Naha saw Li Hong stealing cabbage.

Then Naha buckled the clay ball and opened the slingshot under the horrified eyes of a group of guards, eunuchs, and palace people.

At the same time as the bowstring sounded, Li Hong, who was competing with a cabbage tree, suddenly jumped to the side. The mud ball hit the place where Li Hong was standing just now and penetrated into the soft soil.

Li Hong, who had been the prince for half a year, had developed some dignity. He looked at the guards, eunuchs and palace servants in the courtyard and said, "Get out."

Then, including Dr. Sinongsi, who had been cultivating cabbage here, hurriedly left the cabbage garden.

After these people left, Li Hong said to Naha: "I am the crown prince now. You can't attack me any more. These people know you, so they didn't fight back against you. Instead, they replaced you with a few short-sighted ones. What if I kill you?"

"But you are stealing cabbage!"

Li Hong said helplessly: "When Mr. went to war, he also asked me to take care of these cabbages. How could it be stolen?"

Naha came over, looked at the cabbage at her feet, curled her lips and said, "These broken cabbages are not good at all. They haven't grown to the size of Mei Yu'er yet."

Li Hong thought about Yun Jin, who already weighed more than 20 kilograms and started to climb quickly, and said to Naha: "It's not bad now. I just weighed two cabbage plants and they already weigh five kilograms."

Naha said disdainfully: "My brother said that cabbage can only be considered successful when it grows to the size of Mei Yu'er."

Li Hongdao: "It's great to be able to cultivate such a big cabbage this year. Let's take our time and the cabbage will eventually grow to the size of Mei Yu'er."

When Naha saw that the cabbage was not as big as she expected, she suddenly lost any interest in it.

He raised his slingshot and said, "Then it's the same as before, I hit you with the slingshot and you hide."

Li Hong curled his lips and said: "I have told you that I am the prince and I have no time to play those children's games with you.

In addition, you are thirteen years old this year, and you are already a young lady who can negotiate marriage. It is not good to chase and hit me all the time, as it will affect your marriage. "

Naha laughed and said: "You are just a child, how can you affect my marriage? Besides, Master Xuanzang said that I will marry after the age of twenty, and he said that it will be a young handsome man from the south. .

I'll just wait. "

Li Hong thought for a moment and said: "The south? Most of them are barbaric lands. Do you want to marry a savage?"

Naha walked up to Li Hong, kicked the cabbage that Li Hong was about to pull out just now, and said, "My brother said that even if he comes from the south, if I don't like him, I won't marry him."

Naha was really confused about matters like marriage, while Li Hong was young and knew nothing about this matter, so after just a few words, he lost interest in discussing this matter.

Li Hong pulled out a total of five Chinese cabbages. After weighing them, he took the middle value and found that it was only four pounds and six taels. Moreover, the leaves spread in all directions and were not wrapped into a knot as Yun Chu said.

Although the cabbage failed, the lotus cabbage in a field on the other side of the field produced some knots weighing five or six pounds.

Seeing that winter is coming, these Chinese cabbages and lotus vegetables have no room to continue growing, so Li Hong plans to take advantage of his free time today to harvest all these vegetables.

The seeds for next year have already been harvested, but I don’t know if these cabbages and lotus cabbages will have new growth next year.

Li Hong carefully took out a small bag from his arms and showed Naha the black seeds inside.

Naha glanced at it and said disdainfully: "What is this?"

Li Hong said with a smile: "The soldiers from the Western Regions gave me the onion seeds they found from Congling. I heard that these things are hard to find, so the border soldiers asked many tribes to get them back for me. For this bag Things, a lot of people died."
