Early the next morning.
Li Shimin hurried out of the Imperial Palace as soon as the court was dismissed.
On the one hand, he wanted to avoid those annoying guys. On the other hand, he wanted to see this guy's face when he saw the imperial edict.
When he arrived at the small tavern, the sun had already peeked out from the top of the Hua Sheng Temple in the east.
"Feng Zi, Feng Zi, open the door!"
"Feng Zi, come on, there's good news!"
"Get up!"
Li Shimin banged on the door of the tavern. Zhang Feng covered his head and could hear Li Shimin's shouts. He rubbed his face speechlessly and got up reluctantly.
Everything was good in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not peaceful in the summer.
At noon and at night, the room was as hot as a steamer. Sleep naked?
It was guaranteed that you would have to find a doctor early in the morning to prescribe a cold medicine.
But if you wanted to sleep in the courtyard, unless you had money, you would have to hire a few people to fan mosquitoes for the whole night. Those mosquitoes were like floods and fierce beasts that could not be driven away.
Moreover, the mosquitoes in the Tang Dynasty were very big.
They had no natural enemies, and this was their capital to be arrogant.
Originally, Zhang Feng still had a way. But since the damn insecticide was leaked, his mother, even if you had money, you could not buy it!
Therefore, Zhang Feng only dared to put a little insecticide powder in the room before going to bed.
Sleeping was like fighting a war.
Before going to bed, his whole body was wet. After falling asleep, he still had to fight the mosquitoes. When he woke up, not to mention his body, even the mattress was wet.
Zhang Feng looked at the bronze mirror. After seeing that there were no big mosquito bites on his handsome face today, he put on his shoes and reluctantly opened the door for Li Shimin.
As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Feng walked to the backyard without looking at Li Shimin.
"Lao Li, what time is it? It's not time to open the market yet, right? Why aren't you sleeping early in the morning? What are you yelling at me for? "
While speaking, Zhang Feng stopped directly in front of a warm water tank under the sun. Then, he dove into it and soaked in the water happily. He was so comfortable that he kept moaning.
Li Shimin shook his head speechlessly and said, "Feng Zi, I'm here today to tell you the good news!"
"What is it?"
"Do you still remember what happened yesterday? Yesterday, I went to look for the Lord Zhangsun. In the end, I spent a lot of effort to get the Lord Zhangsun to go to the palace. "
When Zhang Feng heard this, he could not help but wake up from his drowsiness.
"And then?"
"And then what? Then His Majesty found out about you! "
"From the waterwheel you made, to the meeting with Prince Zhen La, to the cooperative and Chang 'an University, which one of them doesn't the Emperor know?"
When Zhang Feng heard this, his eyeballs almost popped out.
"Tell me the result! I said it yesterday. It's useless! "
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Feng and said, "Are you going to keep soaking in the water tank? Do you want me to watch you take a bath? "
Zhang Feng suddenly patted his forehead and hurriedly got out of the water.
He picked up a plain robe from the bamboo pole and wrapped it around his body. Then, he entered the small tavern with Li Shimin.
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Feng asked, "Go on, what did His Majesty say?"
"What can he say? Didn't he just praise you? "
"His Majesty? Praise me? "
Zhang Feng pointed at his own nose and stared at Li Shimin, saying, "You should at least make up a decent story, right? How can His Majesty know me? If His Majesty praised me, then why didn't he give me an official title? That's the real thing. Anyone can say something. Just say it directly. What His Majesty said, don't pick the good stuff. I can't stand it. "
Zhang Feng really didn't believe that His Majesty would praise him. It didn't make sense!
If it was a normal procedure, His Majesty should find an old eunuch to invite him into the palace. His Majesty should first determine whether he was the one who did it, then ask him why he did it and what his purpose was, right?
Wasn't there a basic procedure?
How was this possible?
Li Shimin seemed to have known that Zhang Feng wouldn't be so easy to fool.
He patted Zhang Feng's shoulder and said, "I know what you're thinking. Are you thinking that if it's true, His Majesty will definitely summon you into the palace for questioning? If you think so, then you're wrong. The situation in the palace is very complicated now. Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter the palace, especially at night. No matter what, they are not allowed to enter the palace. If you were summoned into the palace by His Majesty last night … "
"Think about it. How many people would be targeting you?"
When Zhang Feng heard this, he could not help but come to a realization.
"So, His Majesty didn't summon me because he wanted to protect me?"
"That's not it!"
Zhang Feng was slightly disappointed.
But he didn't think too much about it. Instead, he swung his hair and used chopsticks to twirl it twice before coiling it on top of his head. He rubbed his hands and asked, "Well, how did His Majesty praise me?"
Li Shimin looked speechlessly at Zhang Feng's messy hair and said, "What could His Majesty say? Isn't it just that you've done a great service for the Great Tang? In the future, when you enter the court as an official, you'll be rewarded as well. Right now, it's up to your academy. His Majesty is really looking forward to your White Deer Academy! "
Hearing this, Zhang Feng couldn't help but curl his lips.
It was as good as not saying anything. He didn't get any practical benefits!
