Li Shiming took a sip of tea and said calmly,"Brother Yu's guess is correct. The main reason why I invited Brother Yu here is not because of the matter of the Sui Dynasty's remnant.”
The pavilion they were in was called the Moon Gazing Pavilion. It was built under the supervision of the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan. The pavilion was surrounded by lakes and only two small paths led to it. The lotus flowers in August were not lush, and the sparse green had a sparse beauty.
The sun was high in the sky, but it was surrounded by water on all sides, but it did not feel hot. In addition, Chang 'an City's geographical location was excellent, suitable for the growth of all kinds of creatures. It could be said that the four seasons were like spring, with cicadas chirping and dragonflies touching the water. All things were born quietly, without caring about anything in the world!
"Dare I ask what the emperor has to say!" Bai Yu and Li Shiming drank a cup together. The faint fragrance of the tea was like the mellow fragrance of wine. After a mouthful, his mouth was slightly astringent at first, then his chest was slightly warm, and his stomach was settled. Finally, the fragrance of the tea lingered. He couldn't help but praise it after a mouthful.
Li Shi Min was a magnanimous person, so how could he not prepare good tea for his closest brother?
Li Shimin was not in a hurry to say anything. He looked at the slightly green tea and said,"Brother Yu, this tea is very rare. It comes from a legend not too far away.”
Bai Yu sat up straight. He was confident that nothing in the world could trouble him, so he wouldn't be in a hurry to talk to Li Shiming. He looked at the teacup in his hand seriously and said slowly,""This lowly official is truly blessed. May I ask the emperor what is the origin of this tea?”
"Does little brother Yu know that I persuaded father to rebel?”
Li Shi Min asked. Bai Yu suddenly understood and listened to Li Er quietly.
Listening quietly, it turned out that this tea came from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian. When Li Yuan overthrew the Sui Dynasty, he found this good tea left behind by his father, Yang Jian, in Yang Guang's palace. It spread bit by bit and reached Li Shimin's hands. There were not many left now, and it was considered a rare variety. It was rumored that this tea had some stories.
During the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, tea had always had a bad reputation. It was only after the Northern Wei Dynasty that it became popular. Why did it mention Yang Jian? Yang Jian was originally the Duke of Sui of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He had promoted the rapid integration of the customs and cultures of the northern and southern regions. As the saying went, every founding emperor had his own greatness. The tea culture of the northern and southern regions had blended with each other.
Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, thus encountered a strange thing: One night, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty dreamed that a god had replaced his skull. After waking up from the nightmare, he had a headache that could not be cured for a long time. Later, he met an eminent monk who told him,"There is tea grass in the mountains.”
Sui Wendi followed his practice and was indeed cured. Tea matters were originally simple and natural. In the Sui Dynasty, drinking tea became a common practice. As the saying goes,"If there is a good person above, there must be a good person below!"”
The tea that Bai Yu drank today represented the famous tea in the mountains during the Sui Wendi era!
"This tea is extremely difficult to obtain. It only exists on extremely high cliffs and grows naturally. It takes many years to form a patch, so it's precious!”Li Shiming introduced the history of this tea. In this leisurely atmosphere, the light tea entered deep into the heart, as if soaking the entire body!
Bai Yu laughed loudly and said,""Now that Your Majesty has bestowed me with a famous tea, I am truly blessed!”
The palace maid standing next to them poured them another cup of tea, and Li Shimin let her go.
"Good tea goes well with the admiral. Brother Yu, you don't have to be humble. You've already drunk the tea. Let's discuss something!”Li Shiming paused, not putting on any airs in front of Bai Yu.""Let's talk about Yang Tian first. I'm a little confused. Why did Brother Yu publicize this matter in the hall?”
White Feather gently flicked his sleeves and placed his hands on the stone table. This matter was actually decided at the last minute when he received the news this morning."Your Majesty, the Three Uniques of the Sword Dao captured by Zuo Ye are not weak. They are probably Yang Tian's core forces. Yang Su had the ambition to become an emperor at that time, and his foundation was not inferior to that of an emperor. As his godson, Yang Tian naturally would not be weak. I am not afraid of him. If I capture him with all my strength, I will definitely uproot him. However, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are internal and external problems. If the core forces are damaged because of this, and the Turks take the opportunity to attack, it will be a crisis. Your Majesty, please think twice!”
Bai Yu's meaning was obvious. He was giving Li Shiming face by saying that he would think twice. Normally, he would just confirm it directly. Perhaps he had drunk good tea.
His plan was to alert the enemy and use his superior power, which was the imperial power, to deal with Yang Tian. He wanted to investigate seriously and suppress him, but he did not eliminate him. It was like boiling a frog in warm water. He did not want Yang Tian to have too much of a reaction, and he wanted to ensure the country's strength and leave the safest forces to deal with the Eastern and Western Turks in the north.
Li Shi Min frowned and nodded,"Brother Yu's words are very reasonable, but I also have a matter here. Recently, there has been news of the Mercy Boathouse near the capital!”
"Is it the force that the emperor said I came to help you?" Bai Yu was stunned.”
Li Shimin admitted to this matter and picked up the jade teacup. At this time, the tea was not slightly astringent, but the bitterness was even stronger. After roaring, he felt a chill in his heart.
Bai Yu held the teacup tightly and looked at the ripples in the pond. He was puzzled!
