Chapter 371: Datang Diary
"Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month in the third year of Tianbao, the last day of the Shangyuan Festival. No, it should be called the third year of Tianbao, because the emperor issued another imperial edict when he held a banquet for the ministers in the Qinzhengwu Building last night: Change the year to Zai.
However, my own culture is limited, and I feel that there is no difference between the two, so I asked Supervisor He.
"Erya Shitian" has a cloud: Summer is called Sui, Shang is called Sacrifice, Zhou is called Nian, Tang and Yu are called Zai.
Tang and Yu refer to the ancient sages Yao and Shun. Everyone agrees that only those two emperors can be called Zai.
It seems that Li Longji is really drifting. He even compared himself to Yao and Shun. No, he suffered from being uneducated. During the dinner, Brother Taibai mentioned that Tianbao's year name had already hinted at the saint's mind:
Wuhua Tianbao, Longguang shoots at the market of Niudou.
He felt that Datang was already extremely rich and powerful, and it was time to enjoy it to the fullest.
In fact, even a scumbag like me knows a very simple truth: prosperity must decline, just like the sun, when it rises to the highest point, it should set.
However, my abilities are really limited, and I can only stay in this world for a few days, so I really can't recover. The most important thing is that being a loyal minister is really tiring, so enjoying the holidays is the right solution.
By the way, Miss Qianrui invited me to play in Pingkang Fang after the banquet... Did she want to play? It was obvious that he was greedy for his own body, so he found a reason to refuse.
Nothing happened today, I have been lying in Fuchu salted fish for a whole day, and it feels good to be a little quieter. "
"On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, before the rooster crowed and the dawn drum hadn't sounded, I was woken up by a few maidservants, saying that the Lantern Festival had passed, and as the chief official of Dali Temple, it was time to go to the official office for appointment, and I couldn't be late.
I never expected that I would experience the feeling of clocking in at work in Datang.
Oh, the evil feudal system, the imperial officials got up so early!
Have you ever seen Chang'an at four o'clock in the morning?
Everything was silent, not even a dog barking!
Of course, I haven't stroked a cat for a long time, and I really miss that kind of feel. I found an excuse to sit at Li Bing's for a while this afternoon, and I succeeded.
This cat is so soft~
In addition, when we were eating under the corridor at noon, Li Longji specially rewarded me and Li Bing with a delicious meal.
There are turtles everywhere.
The taste is very good. First steam a soft-shelled turtle, and then use suet and duck egg yolk to make a layer of brocade-like toppings to decorate it. "
"On the 18th day of the first lunar month, the weather was fine, I brushed my teeth, washed my face, had breakfast, and rode my beloved black-maned horse to Dali Temple to clock in at work.
When passing by Kaihuafang, I heard someone calling for help. The voice was very familiar. When I looked closely, it was Brother Taibai. Fell into a ditch on the side of the road.
Fortunately, it's not a canal, otherwise...
Shixian, died.
I didn't care about other things at the time, so I hurried forward to help Li Bai, and carefully checked Li Bai's body. After confirming that the guy was fine, I gave him a ride and entered the official office of Dali Temple just in time.
In fact, there is nothing to do. This official adheres to the rule of doing nothing, and leaves all official duties to Li Bing.
By the way, today Li Longji ordered someone to bring the imperial gift food, named: Tonghua soft beef intestines.
This is a very special kind of sausage. The sheep bone marrow is put into the beef intestines and cooked. The broth is used. As for the taste... I can’t wait to lick the plate. It can only be said that it is a royal chef’s craftsmanship. "
"On the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, clock in at work."
"On the 20th day of the first lunar month, clock in at work."
"On the 21st day of the first lunar month, I finally didn't have to go to work. Li Longji finally remembered that he hadn't held a court meeting for a while. I stood in Xingqing Palace all morning, wandering around the sky, and had a good meal , go back to Dali Temple to fish in the afternoon."
"On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, the first snow of the year fell in Chang'an City, and the servants prepared fox fur.
It's like snow in the evening, can you have a drink?
It is a kind of enjoyment to prepare a luxury carriage and drink warm wine to go to work in it.
But that's almost impossible to happen.
Datang has no enclosed carriages, only ox carts, and they are not four-wheeled carts, but two-wheeled carts, and the road is very bumpy.
Finally, riding a car is a bitch. The Tang Dynasty was established for more than a hundred years, and the society still advocates masculinity. Men should show health and heroism. Whether they are emperors or literati, as long as their physical conditions permit, they should travel on horseback.
If I go to work by car, I will be asked with concern by my colleagues: Where is my body uncomfortable?
In addition, Li Longji sent someone to deliver delicious food again. To be fair, he is really a good emperor and refused any refutation! "
"On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, I took a day of sick leave. The weather is fine today. I haven't played with Pan Ming and Duke for a long time. We made an appointment to go hunting in the countryside.
Um... so hard at work, can't you enjoy it?
It's a pity that in the morning the emperor sent Gao Lishi to pass a verbal order: enter the palace to have an audience.
In desperation, I asked the servant to inform the two guys that the plan had changed, and I will see if I have time to hunt in the afternoon.
Under Gao Lishi's guidance, he made seven turns and eight turns, did not go to Taiji Palace, nor Xingqing Palace, but went to Daming Palace, a bathing hall with white steam and smog from the windows.
Is this going to talk about work in the bathroom?
Yang Yuhuan is in there too?
I admit that I was a little excited at the time, but after I went in, I realized that through the curtain and gauze, I could only hear the sound of water splashing, and I could vaguely see that Li Longji was alone inside.
It turned out that the emperors of the Tang Dynasty liked to talk about work with their confidant ministers in the bath hall in winter, and I was honored to be invited, pretending that I occasionally felt cold.
Two men are soaking in the hot spring...
After it was over, Li Longji asked me if I was better?
Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?
Just kidding, it is no exaggeration to say that I can kill a cow with one punch, and if I receive medical treatment, I will definitely reveal my truth.
In the end, I expressed that thanks to the grace of the Lord, all the coldness in my body has been eliminated. What is my order?
It turned out that it was sending money to the old monk Chujin to help him build the Duobao Pagoda.
Frankly speaking, these people hide too deeply, and they can't spy anything at all, so they keep asking if they want to join them.
Of course, I also looked away.
Anyway, I will see the mysterious methods of the Eastern world in the future, so there is no need to bother me. After all, compared to other students, I know enough.
In the afternoon, I returned from the suburbs with a full load.
Everyone feels happy, this kind of day is very relaxed and comfortable.
In addition: Miss Qianrui invited me to Pingkangfang again. I haven’t seen her for a long time, and I miss her a little, but I’m leaving tomorrow. Seeing each other is worse than not seeing her. If something happens, it’s actually not good for anyone. "
"On the 24th day of the first lunar month, Xiu Mu is on holiday, and it is also the last day in Datang. There are so many things worth exploring here, but I really have no clue.
It just so happens that it fits the title of casual dungeon.
Then again, I haven't seen Bai Xiao for a long time, and I don't know where I was happy for ten days.
Could it be that they are really meeting little lovers privately?
The first thing he did when he got up early: sent his servants to Pingkangfang to redeem Qianrui's body with several carts of gold. After getting the deed, he burned it on the spot, and then went to the household department to complete all the procedures.
This is help within her ability, and I wish her freedom to find a husband.
And I went to Jing Temple, had a long talk with Millis, and put a stick of incense on Arhat God. Although I don't remember what we talked about when we fell asleep, but He really had no bad intentions.
In fact, I don’t have any other wishes, please bless me, everyone helps each other, although you don’t necessarily need my help.
In order to show sincerity, the promise made by the emperor was used to rectify the name of Nestorianism.
Since then, there has been no such title as Monk Hu, no such term as Persihu Temple, only Jingseng and Daqin Temple (Jing Temple).
After returning to the mansion at noon, the emperor gave another delicacy as usual, named Suzhenyinshengbu.
The sound department, singers, dancers, and musicians, they are gathered together, that is, the sound department, a total of 70 people, are made of dough, vegetable and fruit stuffing by the most skilled royal chefs.
Immediately afterwards, a young monk came to the door, saying that he was delivering a letter for master Chu Jin.
Opening the envelope, there are only two lines of small words full of Zen on the paper——
Dependence arises, extinction and extinction end, and flowers bloom and fall and return to dust. Half good, half evil, half following one's heart, difficult to understand, difficult to return to the truth. "
