If Xu Qilin knew these historical records, his disgust for Wu Meier would be even deeper.

There is always a reason to kill people. Because the mother-in-law is treated well, she exposes her anger on her daughter-in-law. She uses such vicious means and is simply perverted.

The reason why Xu Qilin hates Li Zhi is also closely related to Wu Zetian. It is really unreasonable that Li Zhi pretends that he didn't see it.

But Xu Qilin dared not agree with being able to sleep with a woman who is as cruel as a snake or a scorpion.

In his opinion, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were all the same, ruthless and ruthless, but one was hidden deeply and the other was exposed.

If there is no choice, then Xu Qilin naturally has nothing to say, just endure it. But now, he absolutely cannot allow these two perverts to develop according to the historical trajectory.

Of course, Xu Qilin doesn't know these historical records now. Anyway, the young master just needs to face a mirror. There is no problem with the big ones, let alone the small ones.

"Cannot haws are delicious." Wei Zi grinned and said with a smile: "The father also likes to eat them, and he has made them better to entertain his uncle and sister-in-law."

There are many uncles and sisters in your family, and there is a row! The big family is really messy.

Xu Qilin smiled and nodded, saying, "Will Zhengyuan Energy Saving come out? Go to my house and show you fireworks and firecrackers that are terrifyingly loud."

Fireworks? Very strange! Firecrackers, I know.

Weizi tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "If my father doesn't agree, I will let Sister Changle take her to see."

After pausing, she seemed to think of something funny and giggled while covering her little mouth.

Xu Qilin was confused, scratched his head and looked at the little prince in confusion.

Yizi smiled for a while before speaking, "That mirror, now it's a baby, everyone wants one. My uncle, some princesses are interested in marrying you for it!"

Xu Qilin was startled and waved his hand quickly, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I don't want to be my son-in-law. Anyone who wants a mirror, just give it to her, but don't scare me."

"My uncle--" Weizi was a little puzzled, staring at Xu Qilin with big eyes, and asked uncertainly: "Don't you want to marry a princess?"

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t want to, it’s that I’m so scared!

Xu Qilin grinned and smiled bitterly, "This is a very complicated thing. You are still young and don't understand."

Yizi blinked her eyes and felt that she really didn't understand it very much, but my uncle seemed very scared, which made the little girl remember.

"My uncle, I have nothing else to do. Hurry up and go back to the banquet!" Yizi pointed to the hall very understandingly, "There are many delicacies and the taste is OK, so you can eat more."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "That's a must. OK, then I'll leave."

Yizi waved his hand and said goodbye to Xu Qilin. When he walked away, he returned to the deep palace with the escort of his maid.

Xu Qilin slipped back quietly and found that the atmosphere of the banquet was even more lively, and it was like a group of demons dancing around.

What a fun thing to do about this? The beauty is pleasing to the eye. You big men and old men, just beggars!

Xu Qilin was a little surprised. Is this the high-ranking officials of the court good? They are majestic and upright in their manners? But when they look at others, they admire them with great enthusiasm and cheer from time to time, which is very accustomed to them.

In fact, this is a very ordinary scene. Not only are there singing and dancing in public at the banquet, but there are also dancing during worship. Not only are the ministers dancing, but His Majesty the Emperor sometimes takes the lead in having fun!

For example, when the Eastern Turks were destroyed, His Majesty Li Er was extremely excited, summoned all the ministers, and invited the Supreme Emperor and Old Li to party and danced in public.

Although Xu Qilin doesn't know how to dance and doesn't appreciate the dance posture very much, he was very enthusiastic and unrestrained when he came to the banquet.

Raise your sleeves and feet, lift your robe and whirl, twist your body and raise your arms, rotate your tread, and rotate your body three thousand six...

Xu Qilin seemed to be infected, and he didn't think that these big men were ugly in dancing. Of course, he could do ghost steps, but how dare he show off.

Waiting near the hall gate, until the warm singing and dancing came to an end, Xu Qilin returned to his seat silently.

But he wanted to keep a low profile, but His Majesty Li Er intended to let him show his face in front of the ministers. He just asked the palace servants to find him, knowing that he was called to His Highness and was talking to Princess Jinyang, and he didn't know what happened to Yizi.

But His Majesty Li Er knew that Yizi and Xincheng were very close to Xu Qilin, and Xiao Zhao probably asked Xu Qilin for something fun or delicious.

After the dance, the officials returned to their seats. His Majesty Li Er saw Xu Qilin and ordered the palace servants to call them.

Xu Qilin had just sat down and ate two drinks of wine and food, and then he had to get up again. He was led by the palace servant to His Majesty Li Er's bed.

"I have seen Your Majesty." Xu Qilin bowed and asked, "I wonder what instructions did Your Majesty have when he saw the summons?"

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "This is the first time Qi Lin has participated in a palace imperial banquet. He is not very clear about the procedures and rules. It is understandable to be cautious and cautious. But there is no need to sit alone without saying a word."

Xu Qilin smiled embarrassedly and said, "I am young and have little knowledge. It is better to study here first."

"Etiquette and rules, singing and dancing, you can learn it; you can write poems and lyrics, but you don't need to do it!" His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid that you are not quick enough in your writing. I didn't call you just now. How about it, can you have a good sentence now?"

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said hesitantly: "I just saw plum blossoms blooming outside the hall. There are several ugly poems. I wonder if I have any questions?"

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "In my poems, there are welcomes the new year and plum blossoms. It's just a chanting of plum blossoms, which is also a topic. Well, let's recite it to me."

Xu Qilin pondered the words again and chanted: "A few plum branches in the corner of the wall are blooming alone in the cold. I know it is not snow, but because there is a faint fragrance."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and thought about it. Although it was a few sentences and was simple and straightforward, the artistic conception was extremely rich and vividly described the posture of the plum blossom, just like a real picture unfolding in front of him.

You should know that plum is one of the "Four Gentlemen" and has long been extracted by the ancients from the combination of objects and environment.

For example, bamboo is mostly painted with bones, and the mottled and harmonious texts of bamboo; pine is all related to the pine posture; orchid is planted with pots and fragrance in the study, which is called indifferent and elegant.

This is commonly used to write about the spirit in poetry, show the spirit, and express the spirit through the eyes, which is called using things to express the aspirations. Xu Qilin's poem writes out several features.

When I read the poem, the arrogance of plum blossoms is unparalleled, and the pure and elegant image comes to my mind, and a clear picture of several plum blossoms appears in my mind.

"Simple and natural, without the feeling of carving, but with a fresh air." His Majesty Li Er finally made a comment with his head and praised: "Good poetry, Qi Lin's literary talent has made progress!"

"Your Majesty is too rewarded." Xu Qilin bowed and was humble, but his mouth was already open, and he smiled happily.

Seeing his expression like this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help laughing, deliberately making things difficult for him, and said, "This poem is a matter of barely touching the topic. You have to write another poem to be considered as passing the test."

Xu Qilin scratched his head again, and after a while, he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is it related to the plum blossoms, can it be?"

"But." His Majesty Li Er nodded, and was also a little surprised. It would be really not easy to make two different poems of plum blossoms if they were of high quality.

Xu Qilin felt that this was a small meaning. He had to memorize poetry in middle school, so it was fine, so he recited: "The plum snow is competing for spring but is unwilling to surrender, and the poet's pen is paid for the review. The plum must be three points whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum."

When plum snow competes for spring, they all think that they are the most characteristic of early spring and do not admit defeat. Even the poet is difficult to judge the difference between the two. After thinking, the poet believes that plum and snow have their own strengths and weaknesses. That is, snow and plums are whiter, but plums are better than snow in fragrance.

The previous poem is a vivid image, and this poem contains the truth: having strengths and weaknesses, and only by comparison can there be discernment.

His Majesty Li Er's thinking was divergent. He looked at the prince Li Chengqian who was close to him and Li Tai, the King of Wei who was beneath him.

Soon after he withdrew his thoughts, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Qi Lin is good at writing poetry, so he should appreciate it." As he said that, he casually took off the jade ornament around his waist.

Xu Qilin bowed and took it with both hands, and said loudly: "I thank Your Majesty for the reward."

His Majesty Li Er gave face, and Xu Qilin thought about cooperating and let the ministers know that he was very fond of the emperor and should not mess with me.

This move indeed attracted the attention of the ministers. The noise became less and they all looked at each other, not knowing why His Majesty rewarded Xu Qilin.

His Majesty Li Er smiled faintly, looked down at the ministers, and said loudly: "The chief of Daying Kukuku Xu Qilin has written a good sentence, and I admire the jade pendant and think it is a good meaning."

Glory, no one else has it. Just like this reward, rewarding, rewarding gold, silver, silk, and silk, it is more precious and meaningful without His Majesty's personal belongings.

His Majesty Li Er turned to Xu Qilin and said, "Let me write the poem and circulate it by my ministers."

Xu Qilin bowed to receive the order and walked aside. There were already palace servants who were serving him with paper and ink.

"If all the officials have poems, they might as well submit them." His Majesty Li Er smiled and said to the ministers: "If it is a good person, I will not hesitate to reward you."

This also makes the ministers more active and shows their fairness. Xu Qilin can be rewarded, and the same is true for you, as long as you write good poems.

The ministers looked different, some thought hard and wanted to get rewards; some looked flickering, worried that the poems were not good, which was embarrassing.

No one acted rashly, and they were waiting to see Xu Qilin's poems so that they could evaluate them based on their own level.

In a moment, Xu Qilin had already written two poems and was presented to His Majesty Li Er by the palace servant.

"Qi Lin's word has made great progress." His Majesty Li Er looked at it and praised it again. The Caiming Palace people were circulating it at the table.

Xu Qilin returned to his seat and immediately noticed the gathering of his eyes around him, as if he was in the spotlight, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Good poetry is fresh and natural, like a painting in front of you."

"The plum snow competes for spring, unique but vivid and lively, is indeed a good sentence."

"Use things to express your principles and awaken people deeply. There must be shortnesses when there are longs, and there are shorts and longs. You should not be too careless or arrogant."

…………………

Looking at the poems unfolded by the palace servants, the comments from the ministers are everywhere. The poems that can be passed down through the ages are naturally excellent. Except for some military generals with low culture, which one of them is not quite literary and highly appreciated?

With pearls and jade in front, many people immediately gave up. It doesn’t matter whether they have to reward them. Don’t be embarrassed because of the bad poems you have forced them to be.

After the poem was circulated, His Majesty Li Er raised his glass and signaled that the imperial banquet continued. He still counted the rewards, but no one came forward to show his ugly words.

There is no way, the poems written are just good, and if you want to show your face, you have to be of that level.

What's more, Your Majesty's attitude towards Xu Qilin also shows everything, just to take the opportunity to praise him. Although Da Yingku is considered an inner-domestic and operated by the royal family, the reform of the grain government has already involved the government affairs.

What does this mean? It means that Your Majesty is very optimistic about Xu Qilin. In time, it is also foreseeable that Xu Qilin will be in the court.

Xu Qilin also knew very well that this was not only a reward for his contribution, but also because of his praise for growing cotton.

Although it is not possible to obtain a large amount of cotton seeds from Gaochang, those in the Yulin Garden can also plant more than one acre. More importantly, Xu Qilin praised the benefits and importance of cotton and presented cotton samples.

Try not to say it too clearly, but the lines also reveal the great effect of cotton coats in the cold winter. As long as this is required, His Majesty Li Er must pay attention to it and pay attention to it.

It is very simple. Goryeo in Liaodong will be fought sooner or later, and the cold climate is a difficulty that the Tang army must face. The application of coal has solved some problems. In addition, cotton coats have a greater chance of winning against Goryeo.

These are all Xu Qilin's understanding of the historical trajectory and judgment. Therefore, his memorials can always touch the itch of His Majesty Li Er, and it will not be possible to make him unhappy.

Moreover, Xu Qilin also asked His Majesty to go outside the city on the 12th day of the first lunar month to watch the explosion demonstration of gunpowder. At the same time, he also talked about his views on weaponization of gunpowder: it is still acceptable to attack the toughest, but it is not suitable to fight in the field.

That's right, it's a judgment made based on the combat characteristics of Goryeo and the advantages and disadvantages of the Tang army.

In field battles, the Tang army was almost invincible and didn't care much about the bonus of new weapons; attacking the strong city was the weakness of the Tang army, especially the solid city and the Great Wall built by Goryeo in Liaodong.

He suddenly attacked the city and failed to defeat it for a long time. When the weather was severely cold, he would be defeated without fighting. How could His Majesty Li Er not know the lessons of Emperor Yang of Sui’s failure to attack Goryeo?

Therefore, outsiders see Xu Qilin as being rewarded for his poems, but they do not know the inside story.

His Majesty Li Er naturally would not reveal his inner thoughts. Gaochang had not finished fighting and the Western Regions had not yet gained a foothold. He wanted to make the intention of fighting Goryeo public, which not only allowed Goryeo to be prepared, but also the ministers in the court were in a state of trouble.

The meal needs to be eaten one by one, and His Majesty Li Er has long decided to clean up the enemies around him one by one. It just needs a better time and a lot of planning and preparation.
