Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 199 Erlang, what did you say, Taishang Laojun has appeared?
In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin was ruthless, found a box for the crystal cup engraved with a dragon that he got, and then went straight to the imperial city with the box, asking to see his Majesty Aye Li Yuan .

In the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was not the same as in the TV series. He would go to the Tai Chi Hall every day, and then all the officials stood in the hall, and the eunuch shouted, "If there is something to do, the eunuch will start playing, and if there is nothing to do, roll the curtain and retreat..."

Such a big battle every day, not to mention the ministers, the emperor can't bear it.

In fact, the court participation system in the Tang Dynasty was similar to the company system more than 1000 years later.The so-called "All the civil and military officials in Beijing with nine ranks or above are looking forward to the sun; their civil and military officials with five ranks or above, as well as supervisory censors, Yuanwailang, and Dr. Taichang, attend the court every day."

A simple translation means that His Majesty Li Yuan will go to the Taiji Hall only on Lunar New Year's Day to meet with all officials above the civil and military rank nine in Chang'an City to discuss major government affairs.This move is basically the same as the company's departmental meeting every Monday after 1000 years, just to determine the next work arrangement and decide some major events.

In normal times, there are only five ranks or above and supervisory censors, Yuanwailang, and Dr. Taichang attending the court, but this court attending is not in the Taiji Hall, but in the Zhaode Hall on the right side of Da Nei, which is far from the Imperial Academy and Zhaowen. The hall is very close, and the form is the same as the general manager of the company summoning the middle-level employees in the office.

By the way, and the most important point, the court officials of the Tang Dynasty had their seats, which is the same as most companies!
Because today is not a new moon day, Li Shimin's request was quickly approved.

When Li Shimin entered Zhaode Hall with the box containing the crystal cup, he happened to see his own Aye Li Yuan talking to Pei Ji who was sitting beside him, looking very happy.

"It's Erlang..."

After seeing Li Shimin coming in, Li Yuan waved to him enthusiastically.

"Come and sit here with Ayer."

"Thank you."

Li Shimin agreed, and then respectfully walked to Li Yuan's side with the box in his hand, and sat down on the mat on the floor.

"Um……"

After Li Shimin sat down, His Majesty Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin with a kind smile on his face and nodded.

"Erlang has been recuperating for a few days, and he finally looks a little bit healthier. When Erlang came back a few days ago, he was so thin that Aye didn't dare to recognize him. It seems that Erlang should rest for a while longer."

Li Shimin quickly put down the box in his hand, left the table and knelt down.

"The child is unfilial, making Aye worry about the child!"

"Get up, get up..."

Li Yuan smiled and waved towards Li Shimin.

"There's nothing unfilial about you. It's just that I, an old man, can't bear to part with you. Go back and sit down."

"Yes!"

Li Shimin bowed down again and saluted, then stood up, returned to the position just now and sat down.

After Li Shimin sat down again, Li Yuan turned to the topic.

"Erlang came to see me this time, what's the matter?"

Li Shimin stood up from his kneeling position, cupped his fists, bowed down again, and saluted Li Yuan respectfully.

"The boy came this time to congratulate his father!"

"Dao Xi?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan was a little confused.

He didn't see happy events recently, but bad things happened one after another.

The Turks invaded, Liu Heita made a comeback, Tuyuhun also took advantage of the fire to loot, Xu Yuanlang in the south was still stubbornly resisting, Dalang didn't dare to go to Hebei again...

"I don't even know what happy event I can have recently? Pei Qing..."

Li Yuan turned around and looked at Pei Ji who was kneeling on the other side.

"You are well informed, do you know what happy event Erlang is talking about?"

"I don't even know what kind of happy event King Qin is talking about?"

Pei Ji also looked blank, and said tentatively.

"From what Yichen saw, could it be that the news of Feng's surrender in Lingnan has reached Chang'an..."

"Oh!"

Li Yuan nodded with a face of sudden realization.

"It turned out to be this matter. I forgot about Lingnan all of a sudden. This is really a happy event."

"Aye, in fact, the happy event that the child is talking about is not this..."

Li Shimin lowered his head, acting very submissive, but there was a hint of embarrassment in his tone.

"Feng's surrender is only a matter of time. Although it is considered a happy event, it is far less than this event."

"Oh? It's far inferior to..."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, His Majesty Li Yuan also sat up straight, with a curious look in his eyes.

"Then what is the happy event that Erlang talked about, which makes you feel that it is more important than Feng's surrender. Tell me quickly."

"Yes!"

Li Shimin agreed, and then said in a submissive tone.

"The distant ancestor of my Li family, Lord Boyang, manifested his sanctity in Chang'an City yesterday!"

"Hi... what should I do?"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, His Majesty Li Yuan's straight waist suddenly bent down again, and his tone became a little listless.

"Which Taoist priest saw Taishang Laojun again? Forget it, I don't want to know... King Qin, you reward it as usual, and then tell the world!"

"This one……"

Li Shimin's tone of voice paused slightly, and then he replied firmly.

"It wasn't a Taoist priest who saw it, but Hai'er and Fang Qiao, the counselor in the mansion, saw it together."

"Um……"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, His Majesty Li Yuan's smiling face instantly became serious. He sat up straight, squinted his eyes and looked Li Shimin up and down, and said to Pei Ji in a strange tone.

"Pei Qing, look, it's still disrespectful for me to respect my distant ancestors. It's okay for my distant ancestors to ask some outsiders to pass on the message to me, but this time the distant ancestors have all arrived in Chang'an City, and they actually went to see Erlang instead of me! "

Pei Ji blinked her eyes in a daze.

He really didn't expect King Qin to talk about this matter. If possible, he really wanted to disappear from here and go back to his office.

Pei Ji opened his mouth and answered with a wry smile after a long while.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin has always been honest, so why don't you ask Erlang carefully about what happened?"

"Oh, yes, I should have asked."

His Majesty Li Yuan squinted his eyes at Li Shimin, and there were some subtle changes in his tone of voice.

"Then Erlang, can you tell me what the distant ancestor said in front of my family's Erlang this time? Does it mean that my family's Erlang is as handsome as a phoenix and can be a prince?"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin's heart felt as if it had sunk into icy water.

He left the table again, knelt down opposite Li Yuan's table, and knocked hard.

"That's not the case, Aye, please listen to the boy from the beginning..."

"Speak!"

Li Yuan tilted his body, resting his hand on the cushion next to him, and said lazily.

"I'm listening to what you make up."

"Everything my child says is true..."

Li Shimin straightened his back, and said in fear.

"Third Lady once looked for the boy before going out to fight, and asked the boy to take care of a person. I believe Aye also knows this person. He is the Taoist priest Qingwei from the Qingdu Temple."

"Looking for you to take care of Qingwei... Why did the third lady ask you to take care of him? Could it be that she thinks that neither Zhen nor Dalang can help him take care of someone?"

"..."

Li Shimin hesitated for a while, as if he didn't know what to say.

"His Majesty……"

Pei Ji on the side turned sideways, leaned in front of His Majesty Li Yuan, and whispered.

"In a few days, Huo Guogong should return to Chang'an."

"Cough cough..."

Li Yuan coughed violently twice.

Well, back then, I and Da Lang helped Chai Shao to fuel the flames and let Chai Shao secretly find trouble with that Taoist priest in Qingdu Temple, so it is reasonable for the third lady not to find herself and Da Lang this time. Original.

"Erlang, what does this matter about Yuanzu have to do with Qingwei?"

"Because the distant ancestor manifested his holiness, he didn't come to see Hai'er, but came to see Qingwei."

Li Shimin raised his head and said calmly.

"The boy just remembered the entrustment of the third sister after seeing off the third sister last night, so after checking the curfew situation, he went to Qingdu to watch it..."

Then, Li Shimin explained in detail how he brought Fang Qiao to Qingdu Temple. As a result, the Qingwei Taoist traveled to the south of Lingnan, and an old Taoist received him. Then, how did the old Taoist give him a taste of overseas sweet syrup that he had never tasted before? Finally, before the return of Taoist Qingwei, how the old Taoist showed his Dharma appearance, created clouds under his feet, rode a white beam of light straight to the sky, and so on.

Of course, he also concealed some of what the old Taoist said, such as the fact that the old Taoist himself can be the Taiping Emperor.

After speaking, Li Shimin picked up the box next to him with both hands, opened it, took out a crystal glass half filled with brown liquid, and raised it with both hands.

"This is the crystal cup and sweet syrup bestowed by the distant ancestors yesterday. I'm sure I don't have such things in the Central Plains!"

Li Yuan squinted his eyes, looked at Li Shimin raising the cup, swayed his chin slightly, Pei Ji on the side immediately stood up, went up to take the crystal cup with both hands, and respectfully placed it on the table in front of Li Yuan .

Li Yuan stretched out his hand, picked up the crystal cup, looked up and down carefully, and even lifted the crystal cup to his eyes in order to see the specific situation of the dragon in the cup, and put his hands in front of him. Rubbed repeatedly on the cup a few times.

The more he looked, the more serious His Majesty Li Yuan's face became.

Originally, Li Yuan was very angry when he heard Li Shimin actually said that he had seen the Supreme Lord Li Boyang.

Damn Taishang Laojun!

Back then, Erlang, when you brought Ji Shanxing to me, did you think that I couldn't see that he was a liar?You actually plan to do this today, are you planning to use Laojun to hold me hostage?
This time Laojun showed his sanctity in front of you, so next time you should tell me that Laojun appointed you to be the emperor, and I should give you this position.

But now the more His Majesty Li Yuan looked at the crystal cup, the more he felt that Erlang didn't seem to be lying this time.

Leaving aside how difficult it is to find such transparent crystals, the dragon on the cup was not engraved on it.Because His Majesty Li Yuan carefully looked at the outside and inside of the cup, and it was very smooth.

His Majesty Li Yuan had also heard stories about dragons hiding in various places to avoid lightning strikes, so now he deeply suspected that there was a living dragon in this cup.

Then, His Majesty Li Yuan made a shocking movement. He reached out and poked the remaining cocoa in the cup, and then put his finger in his mouth to lick it.

"His Majesty……"

Pei Ji immediately took a step forward, as if intending to stop His Majesty Li Yuan, but it was too late.

"You are..."

"rest assured!"

Li Yuan turned around holding the cup, avoiding Pei Ji's hand, and said indifferently.

"Pei Qing, don't be so excited, this is what Erlang sent, and he will still harm me..."

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Shimin knocked again.

"Aye's words make the child feel ashamed."

"I'm praising you."

Li Yuan carefully placed the cup in his hand on the table, looked up and down at Qin King Li Shimin who was kneeling on the ground, and then softened his tone.

"Erlang, since you have met Yuanzu, does Yuanzu have anything to say to me?"

　Well, what everyone said is the same as Mengxin’s own feeling. Maybe giving Mengxin a little more time can make changes better, but the update can’t be pulled down, so let’s do this first. When Mengxin has inspiration, restart Write about the previous chapters!
　　PS: Stories about dragons hiding in various places to avoid lightning strikes were very popular in the Tang Dynasty.In order to avoid lightning strikes, those dragons can disguise human blood vessels, birthmarks, paperweights, reeds, small fish and so on.It can also be seen from these stories that in the Tang Dynasty, the dragon's status in the mythological circle was not as high as it was later.
