Chapter 146 Sparks of Fire
The first snow in winter came and went quickly, and then it started to melt because the climate was not cold. The dirt mixed with the eaves and the streets turned into black water and began to flow freely.
Shengjing seemed to have become much dirty in an instant, but before people could get used to it, they would have a breath before they could breathe, and the second snow in Shengjing followed one after another.
Unlike the first snow, the second snow was particularly severe, covering all the dirty things. The whole hero was covered with silver and refreshed.
A black carriage stopped at the door of Zhang's house on time. Xiao Fuzi knocked on the door. Seeing that Zhang Xiaodao did not speak, Zhang Xiaodao knew that he was going to enter the palace to meet the saint.
Changed into a simple cotton-padded jacket with the bride's bride, Zhang Xiaodao and the eunuch in the palace who certainly refused to let him sit in the carriage.
The groom waved his whip, the wheels rolled up, making a 'crunching' sound of snow crushing straight to the palace.
After entering the palace, the black carriage drove straight in and walked forward in the imperial city for half a stick of incense. Finally, he stopped. Xiao Fuzi and Zhang Xiaodao got off the car together, and saw that the sky was dim and dull than before, and the snow was even more intense.
Zhang Xiaodao took a deep breath, the cold air entered the lungs and circled it, then turned into a breath from his mouth and appeared in front of him. He found that he still liked winter and couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Walking into the warm imperial study room, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Yinlong, was dozing with his eyes half-squinted. Next to him was a young man with beautiful eyes standing upright, as if he was a little restrained.
When the young man saw Zhang Xiaodao and Xiao Fuzi come in, he first said that he put his index finger beside his mouth, obviously wanting His Majesty to sleep for a while.
Zhang Xiaodao smiled gently and nodded, then bowed and held the salute.
There is no need to guess that the young man was Tang Qinian. The second prince of the prosperous Tang Dynasty has always been known for his gentleness. He is no longer majestic than the eldest prince Tang Qili's outside, but he has a sense of affinity.
Seeing this, Xiao Fuzi didn't say much and left the imperial study room with slightest steps.
Tang Qinian stood up lightly at this time and made a gesture to Zhang Xiaodao's pen.
Zhang Xiaodao looked at the screen not far from the left side of the Imperial Study Room, and then followed Tang Qinian over the screen.
The space behind the screen is not large, but there are three or four chapters of finely carved real dragon tables, as well as pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
Tang Qinian wrote, writing: "The father has been tired recently, so wait for a moment."
Zhang Xiaodao immediately replied: "Natural."
Tang Qinian wrote again: "You and I cannot be considered subordinates. If you can call yourself a friend, you call me Qinian, and I call you Xiaodao."
Seeing this beautiful text, Zhang Xiaodao couldn't help but be surprised to write that His Highness was so proud.
The two of them went back and forth for half a stick of incense and got a little familiar with each other.
At this time, Tang Qinian looked embarrassed.
Zhang Xiaodao couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, why are you embarrassed?"
Tang Qinian pursed her lips. She seemed to have made great determination and wrote: "A few days ago, I entered the back mountain of the academy and saw a woman with a different temperament. She was shocked. She should be your junior sister, but she didn't know her name. It's really a pity."
Zhang Xiaodao grew up and knew that Tang Qinian would naturally not not know his master's wife. There was only one woman left behind the mountain, and he wrote: "Little Junior Sister, Li Yuemei."
"I wonder how interested my junior sister is, are she interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
"I'm not interested at all."
There are only a few eternal topics among men, among which women are the topics.
Once they talked about women, the two who were originally unfamiliar quickly narrowed the distance, but Zhang Xiaodao's answer really made Tang Qinian at a loss.
"Can she bent on her wholeheartedly?"
"She was not interested at all."
"I dare to ask if your highness wants to pursue her?"
The word chasing was very useful for Tang Qinian. He said, "I have this intention and even asked my mother. The mother nodded, but the younger sister is not an ordinary woman after all, so it is unreasonable to give her marriage. So when I see you today, I want to ask her carefully."
Zhang Xiaodao smiled bitterly and wrote: "Your Highness is straightforward, chasing the junior sister is actually very simple."
When Tang Qinian saw the words, he immediately felt excited and flashed across his beautiful cheeks, writing: "Please give me some advice from Brother Xiaodao, I am very grateful."
Zhang Xiaodao wrote: "Tomorrow, as long as you take her to eat all the Tang Dynasty, she will basically be unable to live without you."
Tang Qinian was surprised and looked at Zhang Xiaodao with inquiring eyes. Seeing that Zhang Xiaodao was extremely confident, he wrote: "Young junior sister can only eat?"
"However, the younger sister is the biggest foodie in the world. She is always rewarded by her masters in the back mountain, and she practices so hard."
When Tang Qinian saw this word, he almost laughed out loud, and then wrote: "The little junior sister is extremely cute."
Zhang Xiaodao shook his head helplessly. When the two were about to continue chatting, Tang Yinlong's voice came from behind the screen and said, "When will you two write?"
The two looked at each other, smiled, and then walked out of the screen. Tang Yinlong asked, "Looking at the smug appearance of you two, are you talking about women?"
Zhang Xiaodao was extremely thick-skinned and naturally indifferent, but Tang Qinian immediately blushed. His already handsome appearance now looks even more immature.
Tang Yinlong smiled and said, "I asked you to come today, so I want you to get familiar with it before going to the Qingzhou border army's winter festival. It looks very familiar."
Tang Qinian bowed and said, "Father, son and Xiaodao fell in love with him at first sight."
Zhang Xiaodao nodded and agreed, and felt that the shy second prince was very cute.
Tang Yinlong waved his hand: "Qinian, go down first. My father has to explain some things to Xiaodao separately."
Zhang Xiaodao suddenly felt no ease, but Tang Qinian said, "Xiaodao, I'm waiting for you outside, can I have a meal together?"
Zhang Xiaodao said, "Your Highness is loving." Tang Qinian retreated.
Only Tang Yinlong and Zhang Xiaodao were left in the imperial study. Tang Yinlong didn't care about any etiquette. After ordering Zhang Xiaodao to take his seat, he spoke, "I guess the fat prince has already seen you a little."
Zhang Xiaodao nodded.
"I won't say much about the power in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This time I want you to go there to see it, and the other is to ask you to send a message."
"Please speak with your Majesty."
Tang Yinlong suddenly said solemnly: "This sentence is that I and my husband cooked a pot of chicken soup in Shengjing and asked him if he would come by himself or his husband would send it to him."
Zhang Xiaodao uh, not sure, but nodded and promised.
"Qi Nian has a kind personality and has not experienced any ups and downs. You can take care of him along the way."
"Your Majesty is in love."
Tang Yinlong then clumped his eyebrows and said curiously: "Xiaodao, who is Qi Nian liked? Please tell me what kind of girl he is. The queen also hides it from me, which makes me very unhappy."
Zhang Xiaodao chuckled and said, "The Empress probably feels that she has not even had a single word of her horoscope, so she doesn't want His Majesty to worry. I'm OK with that?"
Tang Yinlong laughed and said, "I promise not to let the Empress and Qi Nian know that I know."
Zhang Xiaodao scratched his head, always feeling that the royal family of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was really different from the imperial families he had known in history in the past. Since His Majesty the Emperor had already spoken, how could he not say it?
So, whispers sounded in the imperial study room, and Tang Yinlong's heartfelt laughter came from time to time. Tang Qinian, who was standing outside the imperial study room, turned red and scolded Zhang Xiaodao for being unkind.

When the summer of the 18th year of the Apocalypse entered the summer, four letters were delivered to several different people through different channels. In the winter of the 18th year of the Apocalypse, something big and small happened in Qingzhou, a prosperous Tang Dynasty.
There are several cities in Qingzhou, among which Longyan City is the closest to the border, but it is also the most desolate.
A great charity came to Longyan City half a year ago, with the surname Lü and Bufan.
Lu Bufan is almost middle-aged and is rumored to be a famous merchant in Zhongzhou, but he is disgusted with the power struggle of Zhongzhou, so he sold his property and came to Longyan City to settle down.
The people didn't know how much wealth Lu Bufan had, but on the day the luxurious courtyard started construction, they saw that Lu Bufan was really rich.
When Lu Bufan's new residence was completed, he set up three hundred tables and invited the people from all over the city to come here to eat and drink freely. Even beggars would not coax them away. The servants of the Lu family treated him very well.
Therefore, not long after, Lu Bufan's name as the great good man, was spread, and then Lu Bufan became extremely generous. As long as the people had difficulties, he would definitely help him. Gradually, he was the best man.
Three months ago, the autumn harvest was harvested, and the rice grains in Qingzhou were not harvested, and the people were suffering from it.
Although the imperial court's disaster relief food was timely, before the disaster relief food was released, Lu Bufan supported the overall situation alone. No matter how poor or low, he would have food to collect whenever he came to his mansion.
As a result, the Lu Mansion was filled with people, and the reputation of the great Lu man resounded throughout Qingzhou. The poor people were also grateful and regarded Lu Bufan as the living Bodhisattva.
On that day, someone beat the drum of injustice and was persuaded to retreat by the government. The man thought of Lu Bufan and knelt at the door of the Lu family's mansion for a day. Lu Bufan couldn't bear it and went to the government to argue with him.
Hearing that Lu Dashan went to argue, the people who had received favors in Longyan City went to cheer, but they never thought that something big happened today.
In the closed county government office, Lu Dashanren pressed thirty boards to the ground because he contradicted the county magistrate, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
The county magistrate frowned and walked to Lu Bufan, squatted down and whispered: "Are you ready?"
Lu Bufan smiled miserably and said, "Or why would I come here?"
The county magistrate nodded solemnly and said, "Beat."
Another board was made, and Lu Bufan's breath became weaker and weaker. He thought to himself with the county magistrate: "A spark can start a prairie fire." Then he bit the pills in his mouth hard.
The sage man Lu gradually disappeared, and the yamen runner who was beating the board finally realized something was wrong. He reached out and immediately lost his seven souls and five spirits. Lu Bufan was actually dead!
The county magistrate showed determination and sat down and said, "It's worthy of beating me to death."
The runners in the county yamen remained silent and looked at each other, feeling very frightened.
The news of the death of Lu Dashanren quickly spread throughout Longyan City. Countless people who had received favors rushed to the streets. The government temporarily sent additional personnel, but for some reason it started to conflict with the people.
The fire of stars is ignited!
Chapter completed!
