Li Chengqian and Changle stayed on Cloud Mountain for less than two hours before returning to the palace!
After all, they could not leave the palace for too long!
Li Zexuan called Pang Feiji over and said, "Feiji, bring some men and call all the farmers in Lantian County over! When the time comes, bring them along and learn how to make the nutrition bowl! After they learn it, go back and teach it to the farmers in the village. After a while, the White Fold Seed Flower will be planted. All the farmers who received the seeds must use this method to plant the White Fold Seed Flower! "
Pang Feiji cupped his fists and said, "Yes! Marquis! "
After saying that, he brought a dozen personal guards and rode down Cloud Mountain!
Not long after Pang Feiji left, a woman came to the courtyard of Cloud Mountain and said that she wanted to see Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan brought Han Yuxi out to meet her. Only then did he know that this woman was Ke Shiqing's mother. She was here to send a message to Li Zexuan, saying that Ke Shiqing had already left for Bashu in the afternoon. Ke Shiqing's father, because he was worried, also followed along!
Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi comforted Ke Shiqing's mother, telling her that Ke Shiqing would be taken care of by Gao Shilian when he arrived there, so she did not have to worry.
Ke Shiqing's mother stayed on Cloud Mountain for a while before leaving. Her back view looked very bleak. After all, her husband and son had gone far away, and might even encounter danger. Of course she was worried!
"Husband, you sent your students so far away, aren't you worried that they will encounter danger?"
Back in the house, Han Yuxi looked at Li Zexuan and asked.
Li Zexuan was stunned, then sighed and said, "Of course I'm worried, but what's the use of worrying? These children have to bear what they should bear. If they don't experience some things, they will never grow! "
… … …
Evening, Sweet Dew Hall.
"… Li Zexuan really said that?"
Li Chengqian told Li Er everything he saw and heard on Cloud Mountain in the afternoon. Li Er could not hide his shock and asked Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian clasped his hands and said, "Absolutely true! Imperial Father, Li Zexuan personally said that if we use his nutrient bowl planting method, we can save at least three times the amount of seeds per mu, and the harvest can also increase by at least thirty percent! "
Hearing this, Li Er nodded his head. Although he did not show it on his face, his heart was in turmoil. If this method was really so magical, then that catty of seeds would be able to harvest nearly four times the amount of White Stack Flower Catkins! This wasn't a small improvement. It directly solved the key problem of the White Stack Flower's survival and low production!
"Let's let Li Zexuan give it a try first. If his method is successful, then the people of Great Tang will be able to afford to wear clothes made of white silk! This matter will end here. Chengqian, you don't need to worry about this! "
"Yes! Father! "
Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said respectfully.
At this moment, Zhao Song rushed in from outside the hall and bowed. "Your Majesty! Something's wrong! "
Li Er's face turned solemn as he asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Song replied, "Your Majesty, Tuli Khan has sent an envoy, requesting to surrender to Great Tang. The envoy has already been arranged to stay in the Honglu Temple's posthouse. They will pay respects to Your Majesty in the morning court tomorrow!"
"What? Tuli sent an envoy to the court? "
Li Er's face suddenly changed. He asked in a deep voice, "What happened to the Turks? How dare Tuli openly rebel against Xieli and surrender to Great Tang? "
Li Chengqian's face also became tense as he stared at Zhao Song without blinking.
Zhao Song bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, according to the spies, at the beginning of this year, Xieli suddenly recruited soldiers from Tuli Khan. Due to Tuli Khan's failure in suppressing Xue Yantuo, the Xi, and the Guis, he was imprisoned and whipped by Xieli Khan. Tuli Khan held a grudge, so he did not lend any soldiers to Xieli this time. When Xieli Khan heard the news, he was furious and directly sent troops to attack Tuli Khan. Tuli Khan's strength was not enough. Seeing that the royal court was in danger, he sent an envoy to Great Tang for help! Tuli's son, Ashina Heluohe, is also in the envoy! "
Li Er's eyes flashed, and his expression gradually eased. He sighed softly and said, "The Turks are actually having internal strife? This is really a heaven-sent opportunity! "
Then, he looked at Zhao Song and ordered, "Tomorrow morning, let Tuli's envoy enter the court for an audience!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! "
Zhao Song responded, then said, "Your Majesty, today, a student from Yanhuang College left the capital and is heading to Bashu!"
"Bashu?"
Li Er's heart skipped a beat, then he smiled and said, "This student is probably going to Bashu because of Li Zexuan's vanadium mine there, right? Don't worry about them. Li Zexuan's students are always able to surprise me. Last time, it was Meng Wenhao and Han Li. Let's see what kind of surprise this child can bring me this time. Oh, right, immediately send someone to inform Li Zexuan to attend tomorrow's court! "
"Yes!"
…
"Sigh! Why do you think His Majesty wants me to attend court for no reason? Tsk tsk, doesn't he know that I live far away? I'll have to travel through the night again today! "
The next morning, before dawn, Li Zexuan was already dressed and washed up with Han Yuxi's help. Although he wasn't sleepy, he had to leave before dawn. Li Zexuan couldn't help but grumble softly.
"Pfft!"
When Han Yuxi heard that, she couldn't help but giggle. She helped Li Zexuan comb his hair and said with a smile, "Husband, other people have studied hard for decades in hopes of being able to enter the imperial court one day. But why do you look like you have a deep grudge when you hear that you have to attend morning court?" “
Li Zexuan pinched Han Yuxi's fair fingers and said with a naughty smile, "What does the poem say? Oh, it's the harem of three thousand beauties. From then on, the emperor won't attend morning court! As for your husband, he only needs you, my wife, so he's too lazy to attend morning court! How can those fame and fortune be more important than the wife in my arms? My wife, don't you think so? "
Han Yuxi's tender face turned red. She hurriedly shook off Li Zexuan's big hand and said angrily, "Husband, you're talking nonsense again! Don't move. Let me help you comb your hair quickly. Don't miss the time ~! "
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll listen to my wife! "
Li Zexuan knew that Han Yuxi couldn't resist teasing. After saying that, he was no longer "naughty"!
At this time, Han Yuxi suddenly said, "Husband, you should think of it this way. With your current rank and status, you should attend morning court every day. It's His Majesty who saw that you have multiple positions and that the Yunshan residence you live in is quite far from the imperial palace. That's why he specially allowed you to not attend morning court every day! So, you should be grateful to His Majesty! "
"Eh? My wife's words make sense! "
Li Zexuan's eyes lit up and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I have the motivation to attend morning court! Confucius was right. Behind every successful man, there's a good woman ~! "
Han Yuxi patted Li Zexuan's back and said unhappily, "Husband, you're talking nonsense again. When did Confucius say that? Okay! Husband, your hair is done. Go and have some food! " Otherwise, you'll definitely be hungry after standing in court for so long! "
"Mm! Haha! My wife is so considerate! "
.....
After coming out of the "gentle home", Li Zexuan and Pang Feiji rode together and became a pair of brothers in distress. They held torches and rushed through the night!
Oh, strictly speaking, this wasn't called the night road. Perhaps it should be called the "dawn road", the last trace of darkness before dawn!
Fortunately, the road from Yunshan to Chang 'an had been paved with cement. Otherwise, no matter how good one's horsemanship was, they wouldn't dare to ride on the rugged mountain road like before! Otherwise, they would definitely fall into the ravines!
After rushing for a while, they finally arrived at the east gate of Chang 'an City before the city gates opened.
The master and servant waited for less than a quarter of an hour outside the city gates before the city guards opened the gates. Li Zexuan and Pang Feiji hurriedly urged their horses to enter and then galloped towards the imperial palace.
"Yo ~! Xiao Xuan, why are you here for morning court today? "
After entering the palace, they arrived at Taiji Hall. There were already many people gathered here, including Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong! Seeing Li Zexuan, this "rare guest", Cheng Yaojin walked over with a face full of surprise. He patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and laughed.
Speaking of which, Old Cheng was able to come to court so early because of his bicycle! Cheng Yaojin could be considered an "expert in bicycles" now. He could even ride a bicycle with one hand. Sometimes, he could even use both hands to leave the handlebars. What's more, when Cheng Yaojin rode his bicycle, it was even more ferocious than when he rode a horse. Everyone was afraid of him!
Actually, he was not the only one who rode a bicycle. Among the civil and military officials, those who were slightly wealthier had almost all bought bicycles. After all, bicycles were faster and more convenient than horse carriages. They could go wherever they wanted with just a pedal. Moreover, they did not have to feed the horses.
It was worth mentioning that the palace was also keeping up with the times. They had specially built a "parking lot" outside the palace gates for the officials. When Li Zexuan found out about this, he felt a sense of accomplishment and was overjoyed for a long time! This was because he had brought a little change to this era!
"Good morning, Uncle Cheng ~!"
Li Zexuan greeted Cheng Yaojin and replied, "Yesterday, His Majesty sent someone to Yunshan to inform me that I must attend today's court meeting. I dare not not come ~!"
"Oh ~? His Majesty sent someone to inform you? "
Cheng Yaojin's eyes flashed and his expression became serious as he asked.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Yes! Oh, right, Uncle Cheng, did something big happen in the court these two days? Is that why His Majesty asked me to come? Can you tell me what happened in the imperial court? "
Cheng Yaojin hesitated and said, "It's both a good and bad thing! Sigh, you'd better ask Second Brother Qin! "
Li Zexuan was baffled. He turned to look at Qin Qiong and asked, "Uncle Qin, what happened? Why is Uncle Cheng being so secretive? "
Qin Qiong sighed deeply and said, "Xieli Khan sent troops to attack Tuli. Tuli came as an envoy and asked Tang Empire to send troops to help. He is also willing to surrender to Tang Empire!"
Li Zexuan was stunned when he heard this. He was puzzled and said, "Then … then isn't this a good thing? Why does Uncle Cheng say that it's both a good and bad thing? "
