Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 29 Can This Kid Enter the Court?

When the cock crows, the sun rises.

In midsummer, the heat is so hot that even at Chenshi, it is already bright in the east.

The golden splendor is covered with white jade stone steps, which are very dazzling when they are tanned white.

In the Taiji Hall, there are many officials, solemn and silent.

Under the red pillar carved with red lacquer and dragon, a figure was quite lazy, twisting from side to side from time to time.

Wearing this court robe for the first time, Li Xian felt very awkward.

There are several layers of gauze on her body, but the texture is soft and refreshing, but the wide sleeves are quite inconvenient, covering her hands, which makes her uncomfortable.

In addition, wearing jet black soap boots, after standing for a long time, not to mention the scorching feet, it is still a little hot, not as cool as the homemade wooden clogs in Li's house.

Li Jing beside him watched Li Xian roll up his sleeves, frowned, slapped him with a palm, and scolded softly.

"Your Majesty, the emperor is in the same court, why are you still acting idle and rude!"

"It's the first time you go to court, read more and talk less! Etiquette, etiquette, don't let your father remind you again."

Li Xian had a sad face, lowered his arms, and agreed again and again.

"I know, I know, along the way, you have said it more than ten times."

"My ears are callused."

When the voice fell, the voice sounded from the side.

"Duke Wei, what a blessing."

"Your son is the youngest disciple in the Great Tang Dynasty who has ascended to the imperial court."

There was some envy in the words, which made Li Xian look sideways.

Looking up, Li Xian saw this person, with a square face and thick eyebrows, a pair of mustaches on his lips, elegant and easy-going, with a look of shrewdness, this person is Du Ruhui who has the reputation of "Fang Mou Du Duan".

Just looking at this kind face, Li Xian did not dare to neglect, and bowed his hands in salute.

"I have seen Duke Lai."

Du Ruhui stroked the goatee under his jaw, raised his mustache at the corners of his mouth, and nodded slightly.

"Heh, there are so many talents in the Great Tang Dynasty, and it's a bit embarrassing to go to court together. It's convenient for some ignorant and incompetent people who fish in troubled waters."

The strange voice came from the crowd, and Fang Xuanling who was beside him was a little surprised. He glanced at the speaker and said in a deep voice.

"To shut up!"

However, it was too late, the slightly raised voice attracted many courtiers around to look over.

A pair of eyes swept to the inconspicuous place under the lacquered pillars, and when they caught a glimpse of Li Xian, a moment later, some commotion started whispering in the hall.

"Isn't this Li Xian? He slipped away in a disgruntled manner at the poetry meeting, and now he dares to come and make trouble in court? Do you think it's not enough to be ashamed at the poetry meeting?"

"Hey! The emperor's kindness is mighty, some people are so blessed, if they don't take advantage of Long Yan's joy to steal the limelight, after this village, there is still this shop?"

"It's true. Li Xian did nothing at the poetry meeting. In the future, he will enter the Imperial Academy where there are hundreds of strange people. If he wants to win the favor again, it will be even more difficult."

"But this court hall is a place to talk about the important affairs of the family and the country. If Li Xian is brought to the court hall, is it possible that Duke Wei doesn't know etiquette?"

Hearing the chaotic words lingering in his ears, Li Xian poked his head out and looked at the person who had just spoken.

With a garlic nose and wide jaws, there is a hint of cunning in the squinted eyes, and a proud look on his face with his head held high.

This person is none other than Fang Yizhi, the eldest son of Fang Xuanling, the Secretary of the court.

As the saying goes, a prime minister can punt a boat in his stomach.

Li Xian was a little confused, why is it that Fang Xuanling's mansion, the Prime Minister of the early Tang Dynasty, is full of thorny sons who like to provoke trouble?
One likes to show off his status as the number one talented scholar in the imperial city, and the other likes to cause trouble in the court, which really confirms a sentence.

Not a family, do not enter the door.

It's no wonder that after Fang Xuanling died of illness, the two sons quickly destroyed the entire Fangfu, beheaded and demoted.

Li Jing's face was dark, he didn't say a word, his face turned blue and white, he didn't know what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Li Xian stood with his hands behind his back, without changing his face, and he took these gossips as wind that pierced his ears.

Perhaps it was the attitude of the father and son that made these belittled courtiers feel bored, and turned to talk about poetry.

"Young Master Fang, this poem will make my younger brother brilliant, and your Majesty will applaud and applaud you. Congratulations, congratulations."

"How could you get His Majesty to applaud you? Amazing! Fangfu really has a scholarly family, and Mr. Fang's title of No. [-] in the capital is worthy of his name."

"That's right! It's much better than some people who are trying to catch fame and fame. It's said that they just fall asleep and don't even have the courage to write poems."

"Where is his courage? It's clear that he doesn't even know how to do poetry."

Hahaha.

Everyone said something to each other, and the whole court was quite noisy.

"His Majesty is here!"

A thin and long voice came from the side of the hall, quickly suppressing the noisy court hall.

A moment later, a figure walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger appeared at the head of the palace, and the Dama Jindao sat down on the dragon chair.

"My minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wannian."

Li Xian bowed to the figure on the seat along with all the ministers.

Li Shimin looked solemn, but he didn't reply immediately, his tiger eyes shot through the crowd.

"Where's Li Xian?"

Li Xian was quite surprised when his name was mentioned rashly.

[Why is Li Er calling me?Can't you keep a low profile when you go to court for the first time? 】

When he was dazed, he was bumped by Li Jing's elbow beside him, and walked into the hall amidst the astonished eyes of the officials.

"My minister, I have seen Your Majesty."

Slowly pressing down the palm of his hand, motioning the officials to sit down, Li Shimin pointed to the front of the hall under the steps and smiled.

"Li Xian, come forward."

hiss~
The ministers bowed their heads and looked at each other in astonishment.

Could it be that His Majesty gave permission for Li Xian to go to court?

This... This is something that has never happened before!

Li Xian raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, thoughts churning in his heart.

[Li Er, what are you doing?Discussing state affairs is a big deal! 】

[You let me come to the court, that's all, and you put me in the position of important minister?To embarrass me? 】

The voice of the heart came, but Li Shimin was happy in his heart, and said in his heart.

"You are a prophet, a good touchstone. If you can reveal a little bit, you can turn the world around. If you stand so far back, if I can't hear you, wouldn't it be a waste of your power?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't close his arms anymore, raised his dragon sleeves slightly, and pressed down to whisper in the hall.

Humu glanced around and leaned back in the chair.

"It's a routine for the court meeting, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, report."

The grey-haired old minister came out from the crowd, holding a court board full of small characters, and began to report.

"Your Majesty, it is midsummer now, and the corn planting area along Jiangnan Road has expanded by more than [-] mu compared with the past, and the growth is gratifying. It is estimated that there will be a bumper harvest in late July, and there will be an increase in production."

"Henan Road, Hebei Road, and Guannei Road in the north expanded more than [-] mu of fertile land during spring plowing. This time, all corn was planted, and the harvest was not a problem."

"Longyou Road adapts to local conditions, and imports horse cubs and sheep cubs from Eastern Turks, which will replenish war horses and meat for the soldiers on the frontier. Many barren lands have also been reclaimed, just waiting for sheep and horses to be converted into fertile soil in the Northwest."

Accepting the court board, the old minister was overjoyed and cupped his hands.

"The entire Tang Dynasty is thriving, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe, all thanks to His Majesty's hard work."

"On behalf of the Nongsang people, the old minister kowtows to thank His Majesty the Tang Dynasty."

Food is the foundation of a country, and now that the harvest is booming, Li Shimin smiled loudly.

"Happy harvest, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, good, good!"

Li Xian glanced at the smiling court hall, and shook his head secretly.

[What is it!I don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace! 】

[A catastrophe is imminent! 】
