In the Yin and Yang Palace, the monarch and the minister were both intoxicated.
"Xuanling, the scorching sun is overhead, drink some tea!”
Li Shi Min pushed a cup of tea in front of Fang Xuanling with interest. Fang Xuanling looked at it carefully. The tea in the cup was clear, but it was fragrant.
"Your Majesty, this…"
"Xuanling, there's a kind of green tea that's popular in Chang 'an recently. This kind of tea didn't have onions or garlic, nor did it have sheep oil or fine salt. However, it managed to bring out the original taste of the tea, making one feel relaxed and happy!”
Fang Xuanling looked at the tea that had a tinge of green and was a little suspicious. However, the fragrance still made him gently raise his cup and take a sip.
The tea tasted slightly bitter at first, but after the tea entered his throat, a sweet taste surged into his heart.
"Wonderful! After suffering comes happiness." Fang Xuanling immediately praised.
Li Shi Min smiled." Indeed, bitterness comes first, then sweetness. Life is just like this!"”
Fang Xuanling twirled his beard and laughed,""Your Majesty, such a wonderful thing is really rare!”
"This is the tea that flowed out of the Ten Thousand Blessing Pavilion. However, the Ten Thousand Blessing Pavilion only serves this tea to distinguished guests. I only managed to get a little through my connections!”
Fang Xuanling immediately sat up straight.
"Your Majesty, this lowly official has just returned from the Myriad Blessing Restaurant. This lowly official has met the owner of the Myriad Blessing Restaurant!”
"Oh! Tell me!"
"Your Majesty, this Wan Kuan is no ordinary person!" Fang Xuanling paused for a moment.”
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up as he slowly put down his teacup, his expression unreadable.
Fang Xuanling didn't keep him in suspense and said directly,""This Wan Kuan is talented and has insight into the court's situation. He has already guessed that His Majesty intends to use troops against the Turks in winter!”
"Hmm?" Li Shi Min's heart was in turmoil, and his expression kept changing.
"Your Majesty, Wan Kuan guessed the imperial court's movements based on the slight increase in grain prices in Chang 'an after the summer heat. This kind of insight, I can't compare!”
Li Shiming listened to Fang Xuanling's praise and felt a sense of pride. After all, he was a dragon, and of course, ordinary people couldn't compare.
"Xuanling, don't be humble. He's just a child!”Li Shi Min comforted her, but he was happy in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you must not underestimate this Wan Kuan!”Fang Xuanling was a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Central Affairs and the Ministry of Revenue have been extremely cautious in secretly mobilizing the provisions this time, afraid that others would see through it! The price of grain in Chang 'an was stable, with only a slight increase. However, Wan Kuan had guessed the imperial court's actions based on this!”
"Furthermore, Wan Kuan was able to read people's minds. To tell the truth, Wan Kuan was able to guess my identity and official position just from my clothes. He is simply a genius!”
Li Shi Min smiled. His son had grown up in the wilderness and had no teacher to teach him. He didn't expect his son to be so knowledgeable. It was really gratifying!
"Xuanling, what's Wan Kuan's character like? Since he was so talented, how could he be such an unruly person?”
Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said,""Your Majesty, although Wan Kuan is talented, he is not arrogant. This lowly official had deliberately caused trouble for him, but he was not angry!”
Li Shi Min was a little displeased when he heard that."Fang Xuanling, I really asked you to test him, but I didn't ask you to cause trouble for him!”
Li Shi Min was unhappy. He hadn't seen his son for more than ten years, and now he was being harassed by the officials he had sent over!
Fang Xuanling didn't notice Li Shiming's displeasure and continued to speak.
"I originally wanted to test Wan Kuan, but I didn't expect Wan Kuan to beat me at my own game. You caused me to have a meal of radish and cabbage in Wanfu Restaurant, and I didn't even get to eat meat!”
"Hahaha!" Li Shi Min laughed.
How could his son be bullied? He should immediately return the favor after being bullied. Only then would he feel comfortable. Moreover, Fang Xuanling was a cunning old fox. If he could scheme against him, then this kid must be extraordinary!
Fang Xuanling smiled helplessly."This Wan Kuan is capable, and he's not arrogant. He knows what he's doing. He saw through this lowly official's identity, so he did a little mischief. It was harmless!”
Li Shi Min was very curious. This kid was only in his teens. He did not expect him to be so restrained and well-behaved. He did not look like a silly kid in his teens at all!
"Seeing that Wan Kuan is so powerful, I also want to meet him.”
"Your Majesty, you should pay a visit to this peerless genius!" Fang Xuanling immediately said.”
Li Shi Min thought to himself,'I'm going to visit my son. I'm afraid it won't sound good if word gets out!'
"Your Majesty, although Wan Kuan has his ways of advancing and retreating, he is an extremely decisive person. If His Majesty went to see him, he would definitely feel like a bosom friend!”
"Zhiyin?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, Yu Bo Ya and Zhong Zi Qi met their soulmates in the mountains and rivers!”
Li Shimin felt strange. Could a father and son become bosom friends?
However, Li Shiming was tempted by Fang Xuanling's words. He hadn't seen his son for more than ten years. Now, he had grown up and become a rare genius.
To be praised by the Great Tang, this son of his must be astonishingly talented. Li Shi Min was feeling very anxious and wanted to see his long-lost son immediately!
