Chapter 24 The twenty-fourth chapter of Zhang Jiazhen's anger and banquet

Zhang said that Zhang Jiazhen was invited to a banquet by order, and the banquet venue was set at the Ziyun Tower on the side of the Qujiang River. Looking west from the Ziyun Tower, you can see the apricot garden and the Ci'en Temple over there. The Ziyun Tower is surrounded by water on three sides, and the mist is vast. Zhang said that he and Yuan Qianyao came to Ziyun Building together after they left the Yamen. The two walked in front of the building and walked slowly into the building. Zhang Yue asked, "Duke Song and Zhang Jiazhen should be here, right?" Yuan Qianyao replied: "It should be here. Zhang Jiuling went to urge an hour ago, and they should arrive earlier than us."

"I see what the Holy Majesty means. Zhang Jiazhen may not need to go back to Binzhou when she returns to Beijing this time. Now that there is a vacancy for the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, according to the Holy Majesty, it seems that Zhang Jiazhen wants to confer this post on Zhang Jiazhen." Zhang Shuo played tricks to win Zhang Jiazhen, Yuan Qianyao learned the details afterwards, felt wronged for Zhang Jiazhen, but also despised Zhang Shuo's behavior.However, Zhang said that as his superior now, he still needs to maintain his face, so he replied perfunctorily: "What is the holy will? I dare not guess."

While they were talking, they had already gone up to the floor, Zhang Jiuling was waiting for them in the stairwell, and then led them into the pavilion. Zhang said that after all, there was a ghost in his heart, so he asked Yuan Qianyao to go first. He delayed a few steps, and asked Zhang Jiuling in a low voice, "How is Zhang Jiazhen feeling?" "There shouldn't be any difference. He learned that his master was ordering a banquet, and he couldn't help but thank the saint." "Oh, that's fine." Zhang said that after entering the cabinet, his face was full of happiness, he bowed his hands to salute Song Jing and Zhang Jiazhen, then sat down and greeted, and asked Zhang Jiazhen about his daily life in Binzhou.

Zhang Jiazhen said: "Compared with the capital, Binzhou's water, soil and scenery are a bit bitter and cold after all. However, there is one advantage here, and the capital is still incomparable." Several people asked anxiously what happened. Zhang Jiazhen said with a smile: "Most of the horses in the Tang Dynasty come from Binzhou. How can they compare with Binzhou?" Yuan Qianyao asked: "In this way, Mr. Zhang must have visited Qianshuiyuan more often?" Qianshuiyuan was the place where Li Shimin led his troops to fight fiercely with Xue Rengao in the early Tang Dynasty. After Zhang Wansui saw the fertile water and grass here, he asked Li Shimin to use it as a horse farm.Since then, Qianshuiyuan has become the domestication place for the army horses of the Tang Dynasty. Now Wang Maozhong is also the governor of the stables and in charge of the horse administration of the Tang Dynasty. Qianshuiyuan Racecourse is still the main domestication base, and Chen Xuanli spends about half of the time there every year.

Zhang Jiazhen smiled and said: "Yes, Jiazhen has been there several times. The climate in Longxi is bitter and cold, and the horses raised are exceptionally strong. What moved me the most was that General Chen Xuanli stayed in the horse farm every year for more than ten years." Song Jing praised: "Yes, the Holy Majesty really knows people. Wang Maozhong and Chen Xuanli presided over the horse administration, so that the army and horses of the Tang Dynasty increased year by year. It seems that there are already 400,000 horses?" Zhang said with a smile: "Mr. Song has always praised few people, and he doesn't like side meritorious service. Why do you praise these two people? You must know that raising military horses is for war. Has Mr. Song changed his mind since then?"

Song Jing shook his head and said: "Sun Tzu said that to subdue others without fighting is to be the first to be good. The Holy One said that I am Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and Yao Gongjian said that I will not seek meritorious service for thirty years. I am the same. Daoji, you Now it is the order of Zhongshu. It is best not to encourage the emperor to strive to expand the territory like Yao Gong. However, if you don’t seek frontier merits, you have to put swords and guns in the warehouse and release horses to Nanshan. You must be strong in order to deter the barbarians. Sigh , It is impossible for a weak person to be bullied by others."

Zhang said: "Don't worry, Mr. Song, Zhang said keep this in mind." Zhang Jiazhen interjected: "Duke Song is right. If you are strong, you can keep the surroundings safe and healthy. Zhang Wansui raised horses in the Zhenguan Dynasty, which made the Tang Dynasty's horse administration proud of the world; now Wang Maozhong and Chen Xuanli are dedicated to the horse administration, increasing the number of troops and horses year by year. , then the Siyi will not dare to make troubles, and the people in the country can be kept quiet." Zhang said that after he entered the cabinet, he had been observing Zhang Jiazhen's expression, seeing that his expression was as usual, and he never mentioned what happened back then, so he felt relieved and invited everyone to sit down.

Zhang said that he told Zhang Jiuling to make the banquet more delicate tonight. Zhang Jiuling knew the grievance between his teacher and Zhang Jiazhen, so of course he understood it.Zhang Jiuling told the people in the restaurant in advance that those special dishes such as flying knife carp, sheep, rabbit, bear and deer five raw plate, goose que, turtle scorpion, cold repair sheep, soft nailed snow cage and all fresh fruits and vegetables should be served at the table. Song Jing was pushed to sit in the chair. Li Longji asked Zhang Jiazhen to have a banquet. Zhang said that he had ghosts in his heart, of course he was worried, but also thought that Song Jing would be present, so that he could suppress all parties in the name of integrity, and he felt relieved.

Zhang Shuo's literary talent and military strategy are all top-notch, but his mind is lively, and people at the time have quite a few words, and he must not be classified as a gentleman.However, when he came to a critical moment, he still relied on Song Jing as the pillar of his heart.From this point of view, the human heart's tendency to be kind is the mainstream of human beings. Zhang said that the way of thinking at this time can be used as an example. Song Jing didn't refuse, and raised a cup of congratulations: "The Holy One has a benevolent heart, and he manages all kinds of opportunities every day, and he will never forget Jiazhen. Jiazhen, life and official career are bumpy. You can be so cared for by the Holy One. My heart should be satisfied. Come, let's have a drink together. One cup, thanking the Holy One, and washing away the dust for Jiazhen."

Everyone drank it in one gulp according to the order, and Zhang Jiazhen's heart was pounding after drinking, and tears were faintly dripping from his eyes. Zhang Shuo also held up a cup of congratulations: "Jiazhen, according to the meaning of the Holy Majesty, you may return to the capital in the future. Come on, please have a drink together. We will have more banquets together in the future. Congratulations." Zhang Jiazhen thanked her, then raised her head and drank it all. Song Jing saw that all kinds of vegetables were spread in front of him like running water, and saw that the dishes were exquisite. He knew that they were all expensive dishes, so he said, "Daoji, this banquet is too extravagant. You see, not only are the dishes exquisite, but the quantity is quite large." Too much, we are only four people, how can we finish it? Well, it’s better to subtract some.”

Zhang said with a smile: "In order to clean up the dust for Jiazhen, and thinking that Jiazhen will inevitably suffer a lot in Longxi, I asked Jiuling to take care of the banquet. It's a bit too much, Jiuling, you can ask the kitchen to subtract some." Zhang Jiuling had been waiting outside the door, and when he heard the words, he agreed, and then hurried into the back kitchen to give orders. Zhang Jiazhen raised a lamp and said: "The Holy Majesty misses the old minister so much, I... I... Even if I die now, I should smile at Jiuquan." When he said this, he suddenly choked up and tears flowed down. The scene fell into silence for a while, and Yuan Qianyao, who was sitting next to him, stood up, walked to his side and persuaded softly: "Mr. Zhang, don't do this. Since you have received the grace of the Holy Grace today, everyone should be happy. If you act like this, you should be happy." It will disturb the interest of the scene." Hearing this, Zhang Jiazhen hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears, got up and took a cup to thank: "Yes, Jiazhen is in a difficult situation, which hinders everyone's interest, apology, apology. Come, please drink up this cup to express Jiazhen's point." Heart." After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and drank it first. Since then, Zhang Jiazhen toasted again and again, always drinking first as a respect. Zhang said that when he saw Zhang Jiazhen drink up again and again, he thought that his drinking capacity was very low before. Could it be that he spent the rest of the year in Binzhou to drink away his sorrows, so that his drinking capacity increased greatly?He secretly smiled in his heart: I don't know what Zhang Jiazhen will look like when he is drunk? Song Jing and Yuan Qianyao also felt that Zhang Jiazhen's behavior was very unusual today, and they kindly persuaded him.Song Jing said: "Jiazhen, we still focus on narration today, don't drink too fast." Yuan Qianyao also persuaded softly: "Mr. Zhang, it's better to slow down the wine. Mr. Song is right, we still focus on narration today." Zhang Jiazhen was drunk at this time, he heard the words and said with a smile: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty let us have a banquet, of course it made us very excited. I am in a very good mood today. Wine, I still want... I should drink more Well." After he finished speaking, he stopped respecting others, picked up the wine cup and drank it down. Seeing this, Zhang said with a chuckle in his heart: Hehe, the root of his tongue has already started to harden, it should be almost done. Zhang Jiazhen turned her head and called Zhang Jiuling, "Don't be dazed, hurry up... pour the wine." Zhang Jiuling added more wine as he said, he only added half a glass because he was afraid that Zhang Jiazhen would get drunk. Zhang Jiazhen stared and said loudly: "What's wrong? Could it be...is there no wine?" Zhang Jiuling had no choice but to fill up the cup. Seeing that Zhang Jiazhen was drunk, Song Jing frowned and said, "Jiu Ling, Jiazhen is already drunk, there is no need to add more wine, just remove all the wine from the altar." Zhang Jiuling bowed and agreed, and then went out to call for someone. At this time, Zhang Jiazhen's face was full of alcohol, and his eyes were bloodshot.He stretched out his hand and drank the wine in the cup again, then waved his hand and threw the cup on the ground, shouting loudly: "Mr. Song is here, today he will make a good judgment for us." The people seated were stunned by Zhang Jiazhen's behavior, and they saw Zhang Jiazhen pointing at Zhang and said: "Song Gong, Zhang is really a villain. If he can't plot tricks, how can he get the position of Zhong Shuling?" Song Jing waved her hand and said, "Jiazhen, sit down and talk carefully. What do you look like when you roar like this?" Zhang Jiazhen didn't listen to Song Jing's persuasion at all at this time, pointing his fingers and scolding: "You framed my younger brother, that's all; why do you still let me be punished, hmph, what crime have I committed?" Zhang Jiazhen was already very angry at this time, and only heard a "choke", he stretched out his feet and overturned the cases in front of him, and then strode towards Zhang Shuo, waving his fist, obviously intending to beat Zhang Shuo. After all, Yuan Qianyao was a few years younger, and his body was still flexible, so he flew up and pulled Zhang Jiazhen.At that time, Zhang Jiuling and others heard the movement and rushed into the cabinet to help hold Zhang Jiazhen's arm. Zhang said that he was very calm at that time, without saying a word, just sitting there and watching the scene in front of him. Song Jing got up angrily, and reprimanded: "They are all the people of Zaifu, what is the proper way? Daoji, you go first. Qian Yao, Jiu Ling, you take Jiazhen back and let him sober up." A banquet broke up unhappy. It only took three days for Dali Temple to review Wang Meng's case, but the original verdict of Jingzhao Mansion was upheld. Li Longji fell into deep thought after reading the memorial to Dali Temple.At that time, Li Linfu made another memorial, in which he wrote his new findings on the case, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Dali Temple's perfunctory inspection. Li Longji ordered Gao Lishi to introduce Song Jing to the palace. After Song Jing entered the audience, Li Longji handed the memorials to Song Jing and said, "Song Qing, read these memorials first, and then we can talk." Song Jing also heard about the general process of the case before, and now she reads the memorial carefully and understands the details of the case.After he finished reading, he raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty asked the ministers to watch these memorials, what do you mean?" Li Longji replied directly: "I want you to take charge of this case!" Song Jing was puzzled: "Your Majesty, this case is very simple, but it is just a matter of young people fighting. Moreover, this case will be tried by Jingzhao Mansion first, and then reviewed by Dali Temple. The process is very clear. Woolen cloth?" "Well, I also had doubts at the beginning. I wondered why Li Linfu was so concerned about this case? I read his second speech, which said that Facao was related to one of the teenagers, so we need to be serious .” "I just read it. Li Linfu is really concerned about this matter. They are indeed related, but they are far away, and Facao did not suspect favoritism when deciding the case. Why are you so aggressive?" Li Longji sighed, and said: "Song Qing has always been open and aboveboard, and doesn't know the tricks of ghosts and ghosts. If they really are related, this matter will be discussed separately. How far is it to go around? Huh, they were not related before. But we are acquainted, and this matter also reveals perverseness." Song Jing roughly understood Li Longji's intentions. It seemed that the emperor was mainly jealous of this Fa Cao's selfishness, because he said: "Whether what Li Linfu said is true can be found out after a little verification. Your Majesty has an order, and the minister should follow it." Li Longji smiled slightly and said: "The reason why I invited Song Gong to come out of the mountain is that most of the people in the process are famous people. I ordered Zhang Shuo and Yuan Qianyao to go to investigate. I think they thought I was making a fuss out of a molehill, but ordered the front of Dali Temple I went to investigate, but I didn't seem to take it seriously. This matter started from the Jingzhao Mansion. The Jingzhao Yin Li Yuanhong dared to challenge Princess Taiping. If the world knows it, there are almost no wrong cases in Li Yuanhong's handling of the case. I checked Of all the people in the world, only Qing can take on this task." Song Jing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." "Hehe, in fact, Song Gong thinks that he is making a big deal out of a molehill in his heart at this time?" Song Jing said truthfully: "I do have some doubts." Li Longji said solemnly: "At the time of Zhenguan, the law is lenient and the punishment is strict, and the death is endless. It is based on the people's sense of shame in their hearts, and they practice the behavior of a gentleman; I am incompetent. The reason why I attach importance to this small case is based on this idea: when common people encounter problems, they only hope that the government will be fair and just. At this time, Song Jing completely understood the emperor's true intentions, and was greatly moved. He got up and fell down on the ground, kowtowing: "On behalf of the common people in the world, I thank the Holy One for his compassion for the people. I have ordered to verify the case and decide it is fair and just. Don't dare to lose." Li Longji also got up to leave the case, stepped forward to help Song Jing, and said warmly: "Your words are wrong. In fact, people in the world regard you as the embodiment of fairness and justice. I invite you to come out for this purpose." After that, the two chatted for a while, and they couldn't help mentioning Zhang Jiazhen's banquet that night. Song Jing was still a little angry, and said: "Oh, they are all the people of the prime minister. It is really insulting to behave like this. Your Majesty, I was really incompetent when I failed to command the two parties." Li Longji said: "Why is Qing so incompetent? I think this is very good. Zhang Jiazhen did fall into Zhang Shuo's trick at the beginning, and if he vented it out like this, he could relieve his depression. Haha, Zhang said that he got cheap by using tricks, so he should pay for it." Some price." Song Jing didn't expect the emperor to approve this matter so much, he was a little puzzled, and said: "Your Majesty, I have already said that Zhang said that his intentions are not righteous, and he is not suitable to be a prime minister. Why can your majesty tolerate it?" Li Longji asked back: "Qing thinks so, thinking that Mr. Yao could see clearly what Zhang said, why did he still recommend it to me?" Song Jing pondered: "The minister and Yao Gong are quite different, so their vision is also different." Li Longji smiled again, but did not answer. At that time, Li Longji's ability to know people was rare.For example, take Zhang Jiazhen's dismissal as an example. If Li Longji did not intend to dismiss her minister, Zhang said that even if he tried his best, it would be useless.He designed to dig a hole for Zhang Jiazhen, just to give Li Longji an excuse. Seeing that the emperor did not respond to him, Song Jing stepped up and continued to ask: "I admit that Zhang Shuo is indeed talented, but his intentions are not right, and his talents are most likely to be used in the wrong place, so the disaster is even greater." Li Longji asked: "Song Qing, do you think you have any shortcomings?" "Of course there is. For example, banning money is an example. The minister's plan is simple, and the world is in chaos. After thinking about it, the minister really did not handle it properly." "Well, Song Gong is upright and fair. Compared with his strengths, his strengths still dominate his weaknesses. Zhang Shuo is the opposite of Song Gong. He has many weaknesses. Although his strengths are few, he still has them." "What His Majesty said is true." "That's right, I'll try my best to suppress the shortness of what I said, and make use of my strengths, so it's appropriate." Song Jing shook his head and said: "After Zhang said that he became a chancellor, the minister did not see his advantages. For example, he changed the Zhengshitang to Zhongshumen, obviously wanting to increase the power of the prime minister, but it hindered the imperial power; as for his abolition of the military system, it can be done in the short term. Saving some expenses is good for side affairs, but in the long run, will it become a source of trouble?" Li Longji is not worried about this, because although the power of the prime minister is heavy, the prime minister is often replaced every three years or so, so it is really difficult to endanger the imperial power; as for the system of recruiting soldiers at the border, the court also has many checks and balances, which are nothing to worry about.He waved his hand and said: "Duke Song is serious, this matter is nothing to worry about. You mentioned this concern before, and I will remember it." After the two finished speaking, Song Jing resigned. Now when Li Longji meets his courtiers alone, the speaker and the historian stand beside him. The speaker can point out the faults in the conversation between the monarch and the minister on the spot, and the historian will record the conversation between the monarch and the minister. With such a pattern, those courtiers who tried to slander would have great scruples.Song Jing dared to reprimand Zhang Shuo directly in court, showing that he was frank and straightforward, and his straightforwardness has never changed. Zhang explained Song Jing's attitude towards him, and also knew that Song Jing had repeatedly said that he was wrong in front of the emperor.However, Zhang said that he didn't care about Song Jing's trip, but he became more respectful to him. After Song Jing bid farewell to Li Longji, he stepped down from the Qinzheng Hall, saw the plaque on the Jixian Hall in the front left, and remembered that the literati had finished gathering there, so he strolled to the Jixian Hall for a while. After Song Jing entered Jixian Hall, he saw Zhang Shuo was also here.When everyone saw Song Jing entering, they stopped what they were doing and bowed to Song Jing.Zhang said that he came forward to welcome Song Jing, and together he led Song Jing into the seat, and then asked, "Duke Song is here, and the palace is full of splendor. I don't know why Duke Song is in such a good mood today?" Song Jing said: "You are busy with important affairs every day, but you come here occasionally. I am different, like a wild crane in the clouds, but I often come here." "Could it be that there is something Song Gong cares about here?" "Yes. I like the two big books you edited very much. Also, the monk and his party have just passed away, and the "Da Yan Li" compiled by them is also proofread and printed here, which is really a big event." Monk and his party died of illness at the beginning of this year. The "Dayan Calendar" he compiled had just been completed, and Li Longji ordered Jixiandian Academy to complete the follow-up matters for the book. Zhang Shuo nodded and said, "Yes, they have heavy responsibilities. Well, if Mr. Song is interested, Mr. Song will take over the post of book revision envoy, how about it?" Song Jing waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'll take a look, how dare I take on this job? I have no literary name, and I'm old and dim-sighted, so I can't do such a heavy responsibility." Song Jing suddenly thought of Wu Jing and asked Zhang said, "By the way, how is Wu Jing's cultivation?" Song Jing mentioned Wu Jing, which made Zhang Shuo feel uneasy, but he never put his thoughts on his face, he just said lightly: "Oh, this is a book written by Wu Jing privately, I have never asked about it." Song Jing said anxiously: "Daoji, how can you be so confused? Recording the dialogue between the emperor and his ministers in Zhenguan and highlighting the essence of Zhenguan's governance is really beneficial to today. Why don't you ask?" Zhang said that he didn't want to continue this topic, and instead said: "Yes, the rule of Zhenguan shows the spirit of Emperor Taizong's rule of the world. We should study it more. Song Gong, I sometimes think that if a monarch or even a mortal wants to make history If you want to keep your name and want to keep a good reputation, you must act according to the teachings of the sages, and you need to be fearful in your daily life. Emperor Taizong had a heart of fear, and then restrained his desires, so he became a generation of heroes; Emperor Sui Yang of the previous dynasty only valued his own Feeling, less fear, and achieving your own notoriety." Song Jing nodded in agreement, and then said: "With more fear, you will be more cautious in your actions, and you should be like this. However, Emperor Taizong's rule of Zhenguan was not for the sake of leaving a name in history, but mainly for the prosperity of the world." Zhang said with a slight smile: "I thought Emperor Taizong still considered the matter of leaving a name for future generations. Song Gong should know that the emperor of this dynasty is not allowed to watch the emperor's daily life, but Emperor Taizong not only read it, but also ordered the historian Revise the words about the change of Xuanwu Gate. If he didn't consider future generations, how could he do this?" Song Jing sighed: "Emperor Taizong is virtuous, but he is not immune to common customs." Then he sighed, "I think Yao Gong worked hard before he passed away, and finally got an inscription from you. He has a lot of thoughts, and it is also because of the name left by later generations. Alas, Mr. Yao's reputation is too serious. What you did before your death will be commented by posterity. Why care about an inscription? By the way, Daoji, how much do you pay for writing an inscription?" "Does Song Gong want Zhang to speak for himself?" "Haha, I won't be so boring. It's a waste of money and effort for a mere inscription, and I won't do it." At that time, Yao Chong plotted Zhang Shuo to write the inscription, which had already spread all over the world.When Song Jing said this, he actually used Yao Chong's incident to insinuate Zhang, which meant to tease him.Zhang said that of course he could hear it, he didn't mean to be depressed, but a little proud: You, Yao Chong, seemed to overwhelm me in everything before you were alive, but you were helpless after all, and you still wanted to beg me before you died. Zhang Shuo suddenly said seriously: "Dong Song, people are bound to die. How about I write an inscription for you after a hundred years?" At that time, the reason why people pursued Zhang Shuo's articles was because of their gorgeous articles, but the main reason was that Zhang Shuo's articles were famous all over the world. Letting him write articles can use his pen to promote his reputation and make a final conclusion. Song Jing waved her hands again and again when she heard the words, and said: "Forget it, I don't have any family property, no treasures, and no money to pay for writing. Although your article is good, let's avoid it." Song Jing spoke harshly, but Zhang Shuo was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "Who said that Song Gongrun would be charged for writing? Song Gong, Zhang Shuo wrote the essay, and won't take any money!" "Oh, you really don't want to take it? It's a big violation of your nature." "Hehe, if Song Gong said so, wouldn't Zhang Yue become a villain who is greedy for profit?" Song Jing was no longer polite, and cupped her hands and said: "Okay, I can get Daoji Meiwen for free, how can I refuse? So thank you very much." Zhang Shuo also bowed his hands and returned the gift, and the two smiled at each other, which was very harmonious. At the court meeting three days later, the monarch and ministers discussed the current affairs, Zhang Shuo and Yuan Qianyao came out of the class, and the two bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this is a letter to persuade Feng Chan written jointly by hundreds of officials, please read it." Li Longji was a little surprised, and said: "Are you persuading Feng Chan again? This matter has just been discussed, and I have already made a decision, why bring up the old matter again? Forget it, General Gao, take the memorial." Li Longji took the memorial and looked down. He saw that the memorial was extremely gorgeous. The old tunes such as "Emperor Yao's Wensi", "Chengtang's deep benevolence" have exaggerated the emperor's achievements in the past ten years since he came to the throne.At the end of the memorandum, it is written: "The ministers look up to test the mind of the gods, collect the expectations of the public, and show the rites on the peaks and ridges. Don't look up at the time." He urged the emperor to practice Zen.After reading it, Li Longji asked Zhang with a smile: "Zhang Qing, I think it's your style of writing that I think you can write this book, right?" Zhang Shuo cupped his hands and said: "All the officials are eager to persuade your Majesty to enshrine Zen, because I asked you to write it for me. The minister's prose is poor, and it is difficult to praise your majesty's achievements. I beg your majesty to forgive me." Yuan Qianyao held a stack of books in both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, all officials and scholars are grateful for the emperor's grace, and then think about the supreme achievements made by His Majesty since Kaiyuan. One hundred of them, please read them, Your Majesty." "Oh, there are so many. General Gao, put these odes on the side of the case, and I will watch them later." Zhang Shuo and Yuan Qianyao both knelt down suddenly, and all the officials behind them also prostrated themselves on the ground when they saw this.I heard Zhang Shuo and Yuan Qianyao kowtow first and said: "Your Majesty, follow the advice of the ministers and others, and choose a day to deal with Mount Tai." After the two of them finished speaking, the officials behind them repeated it again, and their voices were so loud that they shook the hall. In the living room, there were several birds on the window lattice, but they were so startled by the loud noise that they flew into the sky. Seeing this, Li Longji was moved, left the throne and walked to the front of the stage, spreading his hands flat in front of him, shaking upwards, and said softly: "All loves, please get up." Zhang said so he led the officials to stand up. Li Longji continued: "It's wrong for you to praise my achievements. Fortunately, I rely on the group of princes to protect the clan society. How can I covet the merits of the ministers to show the ceremony of conferring? Forget it, don't mention this matter today. .Do you have anything else to do? If nothing else, let’s leave.” Zhang said no more words, and the officials retreated in order. Zhang said that the ministers understood the emperor's intentions, and knew that the emperor would definitely not allow it when he asked for Zen the first three times, so they had to make a big show of it. At the court meeting one day later, Zhang Shuo and Yuan Qianyao led the officials to write a letter, asking the emperor to enshrine Mount Tai, but Li Longji still did not agree. Zhang talked about the second day and didn't mention it again, and he didn't mention it again in the next two days. It's just that Li Longji's imperial case is full of odes sent by officials and scholars. At the court meeting on the fourth day, Zhang Shuo and Yuan Qianyao led the officials to make another speech.Zhang Shuo spoke brilliantly, and finally said: "Your Majesty's merits are as high as the sky, and the stream is thick and rich, and the prosperity of the three kings is beyond comparison. Dengfeng is complete, and Li Yeyou praises it." Li Longji smiled slightly when he heard the words, patted the pile of odes beside the throne, and said: "I have read the odes of all the ministers in the past few days. Zhang Qing is worthy of being the leader of the Wenzong. If you talk about gorgeous and neat, take Zhang Qing's article headed by." Zhang Yue bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Li Longji said: "I said that you are not allowed to mention this matter again, why are you so chattering?" Yuan Qianyao reported: "The ministers are determined to enshrine Zen. It is not a whim. Your Majesty, it is the right time to go east to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. It is the country's top priority. If your majesty refuses for a day, the ministers will insist on it every day. .” Li Longji shook his head, remained silent for a while, then left the throne and paced on the stage.The officials looked over and knew that the emperor was thinking about an answer, so they kept silent, and the hall was extremely quiet. Li Longji stopped in his tracks, sighed heavily, and said, "Forget it, I can't hold you back, so I'll follow you. Zhang Qing, I still entrust you as an envoy of ceremonies. On November 10 next year, you will follow the truth and do whatever you want. Tarzan." The officials were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground, shouting long live.
