Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty - Chapter 188

News from Tengzhou is still being sent back to Beijing on a regular basis. It is inevitable that some people think that it is inappropriate for Li Yuanying to impose a curfew privately and to take the people to enjoy wantonly. The matter of his Majesty Li Er’s Xu Li Yuanying’s money was turned up and discussed again.

His Majesty Li Er is giving people and delegating power, and it really makes many people frightened. From now on, Li Yuanying has no ambitions, and only knows how to eat, drink, play and play foolishly every day. But Li Yuanying is only fifteen or sixteen years old, a lot younger than the prince, who knows what he will think when he grows up?

Everyone felt that His Majesty Li Er was too indulgent Li Yuanying. Even if Li Yuanying has been wronged, this kind of precedent cannot be set! Take a look, Li Yuanying immediately started making noise.

His Majesty Li Er has not received Li Yuanying’s personal letter recently.

Li Yuanying followed the rules to hand over the papers to Chang’an, with beautiful rhetoric and standardized language. At first glance, Li Yuanying did not write it himself.

His Majesty Li Er also gave his reply according to the rules, and he got a stubborn look, scolding when he should be scolded, and training when he should be disciplined, without any ambiguity.

Regarding the impeachment of courtiers, His Majesty Li Er did not stop him, and sent it to Tengzhou as it was, so that Li Yuanying could read it well and accept the teachings of his elders.

His Majesty Li Er behaved like this, and he didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.

Changsun Wuji and them are a little bit terrible.

When His Majesty Li Er asked them the younger brother Li Yuanying, they felt too disgusting, how could they be so shameless.

Now His Majesty Li Er and Li Yuanying have a suspicion for the assassination, and they are not indifferent to routinely relying on paperwork, and they feel uncomfortable. They followed His Majesty Li Er all the way, although it cannot be said that they are selfless for the sovereign, but the friendship between the emperor and the ministers that they have developed for so many years is not fake.

So why did the two brothers who want to be better off suddenly make this happen?

Not only did Changsun Wuji and the others fail, but Li Chengqian also felt that something was wrong.

Li Chengqian looks like a prince now. This year, His Majesty Li Er will go to Cuiwei Palace to escape the summer heat. Chang’an is still entrusted to him. The elderly Wei Zheng did not accompany him this time.

Li Chengqian thought about the close relationship between Wei Zheng and Li Yuanying, so he invited Wei Zheng into the Eastern Palace to ask about Li Yuanying.

When Wei Zheng heard Li Chengqian’s words, he was concerned, and after thinking about it, he said to Li Chengqian, “Your Majesty wants to give it a try.”

As for what to try, Wei Zheng didn’t elaborate, leaving it to Li Chengqian to figure it out.

Li Chengqian sent Wei Zheng away, and sat alone thinking about Wei Zheng’s words.

His Majesty Li Er wants to try, who is it to try?

Is it to test Zhang Liang, the father of Xun Guo, or Li Yuanying?

Or both.

Li Yuanying grew up and unknowingly had reached the age to start a family and establish a career, and could no longer be a child. So, force him to see how far he can do it; try him to see if he can really be consistent.

Also try Lord Xun Guo to see if he really has no ambitions.

His Majesty Li Er lightly let go of the Xun Guo Gong who sent people to kill his mouth, and let them form such enmity. Li Yuanying may not understand it, but what is it? Thunder and Yulu are all good graces. Li Er made a decision, and they have to accept.

As for how to do it in private, it can only depend on its own ability.

His Majesty Li Er wants to see this “ability”.

Temptation always hurts. On the one hand, he followed his cronies early, and on the other hand, his younger brother, who was raised by himself. His Majesty Li Er didn’t hesitate to pour oil between them, no wonder Li Yuanying was angry and refused to write any more.

Li Chengqian wanted to understand, and was about to write a letter to persuade Li Yuanying, when he heard a knock on the door from outside the door, it was his son Li Xiang who ran.

Li Xiang has always come and go freely in the East Palace, but when he sees Li Chengqian concentrating on it, he knocks on the door and wakes up.

Li Chengqian asked him to come in and talk.

Li Xiang rushed over and sat down beside Li Chengqian. He was in the palace at a young age and learned the news relatively slowly, knowing that everything was over when Li Yuanying was assassinated.

Li Xiang was very angry. He thought about it for many days. He didn’t think of any good way to protect the Yaoyao. He had to go to the school every day to watch the guards training. He insisted on it for a whole month, and personally picked ten. The most powerful person was on the list, and he came to Li Chengqian in his arms.

Li Chengqian saw Li Xiang sitting down beside him, his eyes were the same as when he asked for something, he couldn’t help asking, “What’s the matter?”

Li Xiang handed over the list to Li Chengqian and said, “Yeah, if you want to send someone to Tengzhou to deliver a letter, bring these ten people over by the way. I’ve seen them, they are the best!”

Li Chengqian said, “No problem, but you have to talk to your grandfather.”

The guards in the palace have a fixed number, even those who follow Li Xiang can’t be transferred to Tengzhou casually.

Li Chengqian asked Li Xiang if he wanted to speak for himself or let him say hello on his behalf.

Li Xiang said, “I’ll go by myself!” After saying that, Li Xiang ran off again, with the same brisk footsteps as when he came.

Li Chengqian watched his son’s little figure disappear as the light and shadow outside the house disappear, and suddenly he felt a strange feeling in his heart. He clearly realized that some things were indeed becoming different.

Over the past year or so, he will feel this way from time to time, as if he shouldn’t have such a peaceful mentality, and shouldn’t be in front of the prince steadily.

This feeling is really unreasonable.

He is obviously still the prince of Datang.

Yes, he is the prince of Datang, the prince of Datang, and the future emperor of Datang.

Li Chengqian’s heart suddenly settled down and wrote a letter to Li Yuanying, but the letter did not persuade Li Yuanying to be soft and tolerate as he planned at the beginning, instead he wrote his own thoughts directly: I was watching Xun Guoxuan holding him. The father cried bitterly in his legs, confessed his mistakes and recalled the old things. He cried and burst into tears at his age. It was really shameless. Usually you always seize the opportunity to behave like a coquettish, so how come you were beaten by him this time? If you feel wronged, scold him! Hit him if you feel dissatisfied! Dignified Prince of Tang, you don’t need to endure this kind of thing, what happened to your nephew to help you!

After Li Chengqian finished writing this letter, he felt happy, and he got up and walked to the window.

It was spring and summer, the sun was shining outside the window, and the flowers were blooming just right. Li Chengqian stood in a relaxed mood for a while, then went back to the desk and took the initiative to look at the paperwork on the table.

Since he is boasting that he wants to be a backer for his uncle in Haikou, he must be a qualified prince, so that his words will have more weight in the court!

At this moment, Li Xiang also succeeded in seeing His Majesty Li Er.

Li Xiang is not afraid of his Majesty Li Er now, so he ran to his Majesty Li Er to sit down, and told his Majesty Li Er that he would send the ten best guards to him. Li Xiang said, “Grandfather, let me send someone out!”

His Majesty Li Er said: “What? Do you think you can’t protect you by recruiting more than two thousand elites?”

Li Xiang said: “No! Don’t everyone say that the guards are the best in the world? How can the temporary recruits compare to them! I still want to send them.”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and agreed.

Li Xiang learned that Li Yuanying came to his Majesty Li Er’s side to show his diligence.

Changsun Wuji and the others came to discuss the matter. Seeing this scene, they felt like they had seen Li Yuanying at the beginning!

His Majesty Li Er really enjoyed it, leaving Li Xiang around him. This kid always liked to get close to Li Yuanying before. He didn’t learn anything else, but he learned more of the skill of flattering!

…

Xiangzhou heard the news late, after all, it involved a prince and an important minister, and the news did not reach outside Chang’an.

Li Tai still knew from Li Xiaoyuan.

Li Xiaoyuanqiu has grown up a few years old and is not so round anymore. After receiving Li Xiang’s letter, he ran to look through his treasury in anger. He can’t give it to him, so he can only see what treasures he has treasured. Send it to Li Yuanying.

Li Tai noticed this movement and couldn’t help asking him what’s wrong.

Li Xiaoyuan told Li Tai about the assassination of Li Yuanying.

Li Tai did not expect that he would have a crow’s mouth one day. In front of his son, he was not as embarrassed and cheerful, and only generously asked people to open the treasury for Li Xiaoyuan to pick, and let people send him whatever he fancyed.

Li Xiaoyuan happily ran to the storeroom to pick up the baby.

As soon as his son walked away, Li Tai couldn’t help laughing twice, thinking that Li Yuanying also had this day. As a result, Li Tai’s good mood didn’t last long, so he secretly ran and said that his son had picked two carts of treasures of calligraphy and painting in the warehouse!

Li Tai’s eyes went dark.

A prodigal gadget!

After Li Xiaoyuan was eager to choose, he came to Li Tai with the list to ask for instructions: “Yeah, can I pick these?” His tone and expression can be careful and respectable. As long as Li Tai says no, he will immediately. Go back.

Li Tai meets his son’s wry eyes, can you say no? He can only say: “Yes, I will arrange for someone to send it.”

Li Yuanying spent a month slowly walking around the landscapes of Tengzhou, leading a group of painting students to draw close-ups of each landscape. Because this time Li Yuanying was always in Tengzhou and wanted to find him at any time, no one stopped him from going out.

Li Yuanying returned to Tengzhou City with a large stack of paintings carried on a camel, and happened to come across the heart of Chang’an and Xiangzhou.

Li Zhi and the others had already delivered things, and Li Yuanying didn’t find it strange to hear that Li Xiang asked people to deliver things.

Li Yuanying stood in front of the two trucks piled high and smiled when he saw the things sent by both sides, and said to Wei Shu: “This kid has moved so many babies, Qingque is still not angry!”

After listening to the ten guards sent by Li Xiang, they said that they were picked by Li Xiang himself, and after picking them for a whole month, Li Yuanying’s heart was warm again. In fact, everyone treats him well enough, even His Majesty Li Er is the first time to give to the baby and to others, he is happily used to it, and can’t bear the slightest grievance.

Li Yuanying enthusiastically read the treasures given by her two grandnephews before opening the letter from Li Chengqian to him.

After reading the letter, Li Yuanying seemed to see his good nephew’s heroic appearance. Yes, there is a big nephew to help him!

Li Yuanying was stimulated by Li Chengqian’s rhetoric, she also got a lot of energy, and went to the study with the people who were waiting. She waved a book and wrote a letter scolding His Majesty Li Er, saying whether I am your most beloved brother! The wife and brother of Lord Xun Guo wanted to kill me and he helped cover up. You didn’t punish him! She still writes and scolds me at every turn! If you don’t care about me, let me see the impeachment and reflect on it!

After Li Yuanying scolded His Majesty Li Er badly, he said that he had sent Dai Ting to Luoyang, and he was not convinced! Of course, they would definitely not engage in murder and planting. They are very reasonable. At most, they just frightened Lord Xun.

Li Yuanying finished what he wanted to say, and was afraid that he would go back, so he asked people to rush to Chang’an as soon as possible.

When the letter was finished, Li Yuanying stood up and wandered around in the study two times. She noticed that the heads of the two little maids of Orioles and Orioles were turning around with him, and she laughed happily. He joked: “Xiang’er gave me ten more guards, all unmarried young talents. If you like, just talk to your princess.”

The Orioles and Orioles glanced at each other and responded together, “His Royal Highness, we are still young!” The two little girls are lively and active, like two budding flowers and bones, and they look exactly the same. They are very popular when they speak in unison.

Li Yuanying said: “Then you first observe and observe, and when you see that you feel good, start quickly.”

The Orioles and Orioles were shy and stopped answering.

Li Yuanying’s heart was lost for a month, and that little depression has long since disappeared. He began to choose the sketches he liked, fine-tuned them carefully, and then chose three kinds of Zhang as Qian Fan, and Qian Fan changed every year.

This kind of money does not make much, each of which only casts 3,000 pieces of gold, silver and copper, which represents the beautiful scenery of this place.

For the selected places, priority was given to building roads and inn stations. He personally took people to settle there for three months, with famous teachers and great scholars, and with all kinds of skills. If they choose this area in the future, they can draw a picture of its changes!

There are also stamps for mailing credits in conjunction with the issuance of the new currency. The stamps are cheaper and more expensive. One penny per coin can be attached to help you send it to the corresponding place.

It is very troublesome for the people to send letters these days. Those who are far away are not qualified to use the post and can only ask acquaintances to send them. Usually, the wait is a few months; the nearest one, if you run by yourself, a day will be delayed, and you will all run away. I’m here, why do you want to write a letter?

Therefore, the station often has nothing to do with ordinary people.

But now Li Yuanying said that as long as they spend a penny, someone will help them deliver the letter to the corresponding place. They don’t charge high prices and don’t need to wait for acquaintances. They can easily write letters and communicate with people from all over the world. Moreover, the post is a place where officials and dignitaries can only enter, and now they are willing to run errands to deliver letters!

The people of Tengzhou were very excited and wanted Li Yuanying to choose his own area so that they could have their own coins and stamps. What’s more, there will be actions such as building roads, paving bridges and building post stations!

Compared with the excitement of ordinary people, the rich and powerful households in Tengzhou can’t sit still.

If this is to build roads and pave bridges, and then realize the village-to-village communication mentioned by Li Yuanying, it will only be more convenient for the people, but it will be a great opportunity for them! The value of their farms will be doubled, or even several times!

The most important thing is that if there are famous teachers and colleges to teach, their children can also benefit! That’s a benefit that can’t be bought for much money!

Those who are eligible to visit Li Yuanying at a time give Li Yuanying a post, and those who are not qualified to work **** the people around Li Yuanying, either boasting of the good mountains and rivers at home, or expressing that they voluntarily donate roads and bridges.

Seeing that they were so enthusiastic, Li Yuanying announced to the public that he would invite villagers from all over the country to come and vote. Everyone didn’t bother to find ways, just be clear.

Instead of putting the money on the back door, it is better to write down the money you are willing to pay in an open and honest manner, so that you can make sure that the money is in place!

Although everyone feels like they have fallen into a trap, they have already stepped in, the bait is still so fragrant, no one is willing to vomit!

So everyone started to inquire about each other’s bids, and the neighboring counties of this county all got the bottom line, anyway, they should always be higher than the neighboring counties!

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: I’m so cruel that I even sell myself!

Many years later, a box of letters from King Teng was unearthed, shocking the archaeological community.

Your Majesty Li Er: My brother blabla

Li Chengqian: Uncle blabla

Li Xiang: Yao Yao blabla

Li Xiaoyuan: Yao Yao blabla

Everyone in future generations: Are your Li family so nauseous? (Point to point)
