The New Year is approaching, and the New Year of the Tang Dynasty is naturally very lively. Li Zhan, who had already celebrated the New Year in the Tang Dynasty, has become accustomed to such lively.

During this period, Li Zhan has been taking care of his children at home and instantly became a child slave.

Empress Changsun also lived in the Li family for a while and brought her little princess with her. The family was really happy. However, Li Zhan was happy, but Li Chengqian and Li Ke suffered a lot during this period.

Li Chengqian's China Banking Regulatory Commission asked him to make up almost everything, although Li Chengqian was surrounded by a group of old ministers of Li Shimin, and now these old ministers are no longer picking on Li Chengqian's eggs as before.

But these old ministers have a bad habit, that is, they like to set difficulties for Li Chengqian. Sometimes, there is a problem that these old ministers have a good solution, but in order to train Li Chengqian, these old ministers just don’t say it, and look forward to Li Chengqian solving it himself.

You said how pitiful Li Chengqian is, but fortunately, this guy Li Chengqian is not stupid. This time he brought his younger brothers with him. Except for himself, Li Shen, Li Yun and Li Zhen, they all became Li Chengqian's small think tank.

Li Shimin was really happy when these princes advance and retreat together.

In addition to Li Chengqian, Li Ke was the hardest-working person during this period. Li Ke took Li You and Li Yan and spent half a month to help Li Zhan recruit 10,000 Tiger Army.

He also helped Li Zhan train a thousand dandy legions recruited.

You know, playboys are not so easy to train. Which of these people does not have a prominent family background? Even if Li Ke is a prince, he cannot let the other party do anything. Therefore, it is very difficult to train these people.

Li You and Li Yan were also so angry that they were itchy. Unfortunately, these playboys were being trained worse and worse, and they regarded Li Ke's tolerance as fear, which also made these playboys even more unscrupulous.

Li Ke, Li You, Li Yan are all big

"Oh, where is my little grandson?"

Qin Wang Mansion? Changsun Wuji had a loving smile on his face. As soon as he got off the carriage, he called out where his little grandson was? Changsun Wuji also loved Li Zhan's child in his bones.

As soon as Li Ping, Ang Lee? As soon as Li Yuxi was born, Changsun Wuji gave each of the three of them a manor. This love is unique.

"Uncle!" Li Zhan smiled and helped him forward, "The children are making trouble? It just so happened that my uncle is here, so I can help take care of him."

"Haha, that uncle is here very timely!" Changsun Wuji smiled happily.

Following Li Zhan, he helped Changsun Wuji into the Qin Palace. Soon, the two of them met Li Ping, Ang Lee and Li Yuxi in a room. At this time, the three of them were already full moon.

Although it is still very small, it can be noisy.

Seeing his three little grandsons, Changsun Wuji immediately hugged Li Ping in his arms. What is different from Li Zhan’s most rare Li Yuxi? Changsun Wuji still likes boys more.

Li Zhan’s eldest son Li Ping is Changsun Wuji’s favorite. Li Zhan cannot ask others for himself? As long as the other party really likes it, that’s fine.

Holding Li Ping in his arms? Changsun Wuji teased him and said to Li Zhan beside him: "How come you have heard that you have already decided to deal with the ambassadors who are coming to get married this time? About half a month left? These people are coming? Are there any problems?"

"Today, someone told me about the proposal this time?" Li Zhan smiled.

"That's right. Everyone knows that you are avoiding suspicion and not going to court, but your father is still there, so what's the point of avoiding suspicion? Moreover, your father is old and your younger brother is still young. This is the time for you to go to court to determine the world.

Hiding at home day by day, if something happens in the court, you will be very passive."

After Li Zhan returned from the Japanese island, he did not attend court again. He said that there was something wrong with his identity. In fact, to put it bluntly, you just don’t know that this Tang Dynasty court really wants to kill people.

There was a "night ban" in the Tang Dynasty. After sunset, all the gates, city gates and palace gates must be closed. At around 5 o'clock in the morning (equivalent to three o'clock in the morning now), each door will only open with the drum beats on the main gate of the palace as a signal.

No matter how early the officials get up by themselves, they can't leave the yard gate (residential gate) before time, so everyone will check the time and get up to wash at about five o'clock, put on their clothes and prepare to go out for court.

The time for attending court is to be dictated to die. If you are late, you will be scolded and fined at a minor level, and if you are severe, you will be sentenced at a serious level.

Before the fifth o'clock in the morning, all officials must arrive at Wangxian in the south of the Daming Palace, outside the Jianfu Gate, and schedule a scheduling station.

Before dawn, everyone was holding lanterns and torches, and stood in the night fog to form a fire dragon.

If there is wind, frost, rain and snow, there is no way to do anything in the early stage. Middle and low-level officials should be strong, only the prime minister is treated with high treatment and is allowed to go to the "Taipu Temple Chefang" outside the palace gate to escape from the wind and rain.

The retreat in the Tang Dynasty was called "release the war", which means "removing the ceremonial war". After the war, the emperor had to discuss politics with the prime ministers, retreating from the front hall to the slightly smaller and more comfortable and private hall to work in the rear.

Except for the prime minister, other officials can first have a working meal under the court corridor after going to court, which is called "Gangxia Food".

After eating, those who are not on duty can go home and rest. Under normal circumstances, officials at all levels of the central government of the Tang Dynasty only work for half a day. Of course, every afternoon and evening, people in the offices of each government office must take turns to work on duty.

How to say it is so fatal? Li Zhan’s biggest hobby is sleeping in. He really can’t get up. More importantly, he was not interested in the affairs of the court, so Li Zhan used an excuse to avoid suspicion.

After being told by Changsun Wuji, Li Zhan laughed and said, "Uncle, you really don't know. I don't even have to sleep. I really can't get up in the morning. Moreover, my father is in full swing, so I really don't need to go to court.

But if I don’t go to court every day in the future, I can still make a guest appearance, and I really can’t stand it when I go to court every day.

By the way, what other ideas do you have for a marriage proposal in the court?"

Knowing that he could not persuade his nephew to go to court, Changsun Wuji had to reply: "That's right, don't you say you want to set questions to test the people who come to propose marriage in the school, but some people are worried about your question, and you have not yet taken out the question.

The Ministry of Rites is very unstable. They hope you can get the question quickly.

They will verify the difficulty of the question. If someone answers it, do you tell me whether this marriage is a bond or not?”

"Haha!" Li Zhan laughed and said, "I forgot. I will send the question in the afternoon. My uncle lets the people from the Ministry of Rites rest assured that no one will answer it."

"So confident?" Changsun Wuji asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Li Zhan smiled without comment.

In the afternoon, Li Yi sent the title drawn by Li Zhan to the Ministry of Rites. At this time, the Ministry of Rites also collected many people to see the title drawn by Li Zhan. Some of them were talented people, and wanted to see what the title drawn by Li Zhan was and how difficult it was.

However, I didn't know if I didn't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. The question Li Zhan asked was too tricky.

Question 1: Nine pearls of silk and satin

Question 2: Identify the mother-son relationship between a hundred horses and a hundred foals, and identify the mother-son relationship between a hundred chicks and a hundred hens.

Question 3: It is stipulated that hundreds of marriage proposal envoys should finish drinking 100 jars of wine and eating 100 sheep, and kneading the sheepskins in one day.

Question 4: Give the envoys a hundred pine wood sections, so that the envoys can distinguish the roots and tips.

Question 5: Going and leaving the palace at night without getting lost

The first question is that the nine pearls of silk satin are actually stringing beads, but the problem is that silk satin is too soft and the holes of the pearls are too small. It is impossible for you to make silk satin harder. No matter how you string it, everyone present has tried it and cannot string it at all.

Moreover, it was impossible for even one to pass through. Li Zhan also asked these envoys to pass through nine, which was really difficult.

The second question is, identifying the mother-son relationship between one hundred horses and one hundred foals, and identifying the mother-son relationship between one hundred chicks and one hundred hens.

This is another difficult question. There are horses and horses, and they are not humans. They can distinguish between mother and son by face and face. They are exactly the same. Some even have the same height and length. Such questions are simply unsolvable.

At this time, the people from the Ministry of Rites finally felt relieved. The questions Li Zhan gave were simply unreasonable. There was no need to read the following questions. When the proposal messengers came over, they threw them out to ensure that the proposal messengers were stunned.

Soon these questions were handed over to Li Shimin by the Ministry of Rites.

After reading these questions, Li Shimin laughed out loud. He followed Li Shimin to invite Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others to the Ganlu Palace, and then showed the five questions that Li Zhan had asked his confidants.

After reading it, Changsun Wuji was the first to laugh loudly and said, "Oh my God, Your Highness Qin is really bad. Where is the problem here? This is simply an unsolvable problem."

"Indeed!" Fang Xuanling touched his beard and smiled: "These questions are very tricky. At least I see that now, one question should not be completed."

Fang Xuanling finished with a smile, and Wei Zheng on the side suddenly said, "No, Your Majesty, if these questions cannot be completed, the envoys who are proposing to marry are angry and embarrassed. Let us complete them and show them, what should we do?"

Wei Zheng's words surprised everyone present.

Even Li Shimin nodded slightly. Yes, these questions that Li Zhan had asked were too difficult. It looked like there was no solution. If the envoys who proposed marriage could not do it, let the Tang Dynasty do it.

If Li Zhan couldn't do it, then the Tang Dynasty would have done it on purpose.

In this way, those envoys will think in their hearts: If you don’t want to marry a princess, just say it outright, doing these things that you can’t even do, and humiliating others is really disappointing.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin quickly issued an order to let Li Zhan enter the palace. He wanted to ask Li Zhan if there were any answers to these questions. If there were no answers, these questions would not be used.

After the order was issued, less than half an hour, Li Zhan hurried to the Ganlu Hall. After Li Zhan entered the Ganlu Hall, he saw that he was very good at all today.

Li Zhan came to Li Shimin and bowed and smiled, "Why is Father so anxious to find me?"

Seeing Li Zhan, Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's not that I want to come to you, but that the questions you have asked are too incredible. We have been thinking about it here for a long time, but we have not yet solved it."

So Wei Aiqing raised questions. If you don’t know these questions, you don’t have an answer. If that’s the case, then it’s a little bad, because Zhan’er, you also know that if we don’t have an answer and let the other party do it, it’s more or less a bit too bullying.”

"Ha so that's how it is!" Li Zhan laughed, then looked at Li Shimin and said, "Father, don't worry, these questions have answers."

"There is an answer?" Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Can your Highness tell us this? Of course, it's not that you don't believe in your Highness, but mainly because the questions you have raised are really too difficult."

Li Zhan laughed: "Okay, let me demonstrate the first question to you first."

The first question is that the silk satin wears nine pearls very quickly, and Li Shimin asked someone to bring silk satin and nine pearls. At this time, just as everyone was about to find Li Zhan to solve the problem, Li Zhan ran to the grass outside the Ganlu Palace and pulled something.

In this way, everyone quietly waited for a cup of tea. Li Zhan ran back excitedly this time. When he came back, Li Zhan was holding a little ant in his hand.

Following Li Zhan, he asked, "Is there any silk thread and honey?"

The eunuch brought silk thread and honey, and then saw Li Zhan tied one end of the silk thread to the ant's waist and sewed the other end to silk satin. He applied honey to the end of the eyelet of the pearl and placed the ant on the other side. At this time, a wonderful scene appeared.

After the ant was put down, it was immediately attracted by the fragrance of honey. Just as the ant crawled to the eye of the pearl, Li Zhan blew it gently and directly blew the ant into the eye of the pearl. Then the ant carried silk thread and slowly crawled out from the other side along the curved hole.

It just happened over and over again, and satin passed through the nine pearls along with the silk thread.

After success, everyone present applauded from the bottom of their hearts.

"My God is really amazing. If we think about it, I may never have imagined it in my life." Yu Wenshi clapped his hands in sighing.

Wei Zheng on the other side was really impressed and echoed repeatedly: "It is true that your highness's mind is too clever, and we are not as good as you."

"I think, just one question can convince these extra envoys." Cheng Yaojin shouted carelessly.

Li Shimin looked at Li Zhan with unsatisfactory and said, "How do you solve the second question of Zhan'er?"
Chapter completed!
