Chapter 11: Antiquity and the New Era
After listening to Nan Huairen's legendary experience of one night, Li Yuanhao was amazed, to say something nice, the world is big, there are no surprises, Mr. Nan is unlucky, to say something ugly, he deserves it, the old thing has done a lot of evil, so there is this retribution, who made him always have a stinky face in front of him, bullish and high-spirited, as if the whole world owes him money, I owe him a lot.

Li Yuanhao, who is a daughter, is angry, and no one can stop him.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, being behind the back of the black teacher is not a thing worthy of praise. Kong Weiting saw Li Yuanhao's changing face, and accurately grasped the inner activities of His Majesty the Emperor.
Li Yuanhao smiled awkwardly, and also felt that it was inappropriate: "Sir, let's go visit Teacher Nan." β
After speaking, she shook her head and smiled: "It's better not to go, Mr. Nan loves face, if he sees me and my husband going at this time, he will definitely be ashamed, embarrassed, and make trouble, so he has to get out of bed and take two steps to prove that the rumors are false, and the old man's legs and feet are very good." β
Sometimes he is too familiar with a person, and Li Yuanhao is afraid.
"Sir, what class are we having today?" Since he couldn't go to see Nan Huairen, Li Yuanhao felt that it was better to stay in Nan's study obediently and attend classes.
Kong Weiting picked up a few books casually, flipped through the two pages, felt more and more bored, stood up, glanced at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and flicked his cyan shirt: "I went out of the palace to patrol today, and I don't go to class." β
"Alright!" a cheer rang out.
Li Yuanhao and Kong Weiting looked at Yu Qing who was cheering at the same time, and when the little eunuch heard that he was out of the palace, he couldn't help himself with joy and shouted out.
Yu Qing, who was supposed to kneel and shout "Slaves should die", was busy covering his mouth: "The slave is shouting for Your Majesty, it is for Your Majesty, hehe, hehe." "He is a little eunuch without the consciousness of a minion.
Li Yuanhao's eyebrows jumped, and this servant died on this mouth sooner or later: "Yu Qing, go back to the palace and dress up, and leave the palace immediately." β
Walking back to the Qianqing Palace from the south study, Li Yuanhao stared at the dazzling array of clothes and chose again and again, and finally, changed into a plain cloth shirt, the inside was an ice blue cardigan coat, the outside was covered with an ink-colored satin robe, a pair of black boat boots inlaid with gold wire, combed two common braids for big families, and covered a hat with six contracts.
Putting his sideburns together with both hands, and turning around in front of the bronze mirror, Li Yuanhao snapped his fingers: "Go, meet with Mr. Kong, let's get out of the palace." β
Seeing Li Yuanhao, who had changed into a refreshing outfit, Kong Weiting opened his mouth with his hands behind his back and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a sentence that must be said, which can be regarded as a warning to you, if Your Majesty remembers it in the future, it will definitely benefit you for life." β
"Sir, please. "Kong Weiting's teaching style is different from Nan Huairen's, often inadvertently moisturizing things silently, as direct as today, it is rare.
Kong Weiting stretched out a hand and pointed to the shadow on the ground: "When you enter the dormitory, the shadow is more than eight feet, and when you leave the dormitory, the sun rises and the shadow is shortened, but it is only three feet ......" Before the words were finished, Kong Weiting asked Li Yuanhao to think about it himself.
Li Yuanhao frowned and thought for a long time, Mr.'s words had a deep meaning, and she suddenly realized: "What Mr. means is that the world changes, time is unpredictable, and people should be flexible and changeable, and follow the trend." β
Kong Weiting was dumbfounded, and said after a while: "What Weichen means is that Your Majesty, it took you a whole hour to change your clothes. β
He still left a sentence, didn't dare to say it to his face, and only recited it silently in his heart: "Weichen waited for an hour in the cold wind." β
This time it was Li Yuanhao's turn to be dumbfounded, what kind of warning is this, it is obviously resentful and dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, I am a woman, I have privileges, you can't control it.
got into the carriage, Yu Qing drove, Li Yuanhao and Kong Weiting sat in the carriage, the little eunuch Yu Qing had many shortcomings, but the horse-drawn driving technique was a must, smooth and fast, very remarkable.
"Drive!" A leather whip cracked into the air, fell on the horse's buttocks, the carriage traveled, passed through the Longzong Gate, and drove along the north-south avenue between the inner palace and the outer court, when passing the Taihe Palace, Li Yuanhao lifted the curtain and glanced at the palace of the Great Dynasty, two years ago, he walked out of it in embarrassment, went to the south study to study, I don't know if there is a chance to enter the Taihe Hall from the new in this life.
The carriage crossed the Duanhong Bridge and walked through the Xihua Gate, even if it was out of the palace.
Li Yuanhao obviously felt that the air outside the palace was lighter, and his mood improved: "Sir, where are we going?"
"Go to the east of the city. Kong Weiting said.
"The east of the city is good, there is a candy seller in the east of the city, the sugar man does it vividly, and it is particularly delicious, well, there is also a monkey, it is also interesting, by the way, there is also a seller of bean curd, you can smell the fragrance across ten streets. Although there are not many people out of the palace, but occasionally a few times Li Yuanhao opened his eyes, and he had the intention to write down a few interesting places.
Kong Weiting smiled, and did not comment on His Majesty the Emperor's plaything, but changed the tone and asked, "Your Majesty, what is the twenty-four dynasties of ancient times?"
"Three emperors and five emperors, Yao Shunyu passed down. Xia Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou is divided into two sections, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, one Qin and two Han, three Wei, Shu and Wu, two Jin Dynasty before and after, the Northern and Southern Dynasties stand side by side, Sui and Tang dynasties five generations. After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the dynasty came to an end. Li Yuanhao opened her mouth and replied, she was very curious, why did her husband often let herself recite the twenty-four ancient dynasties from time to time, which is something that three-year-old children can recite, and the surname of the hundred families and the three character scriptures are the same reason.
Today's history is divided into antiquity and the new era, there are 24 dynasties in ancient times, which lasted more than 5,000 years, after the Qing Dynasty, the end of the ancient period, history opened a new era, and entered the unprecedented prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty here is different from the Tang Dynasty of the 24 dynasties in ancient times, it is the first emperor to herald the prosperity of the Central Plains today, and the country name is the same as the Tang Dynasty that flourished in ancient times.
The reason why there is a distinction between antiquity and the new era is because there is a huge fault line between the two eras, the causal relationship of the rolling history is suddenly broken, and the gradual change of dynasties is suddenly broken.
And after the new era, human beings themselves have suddenly changed, there is an ancient saying in ancient times that two fists are hard to beat four hands, many people are powerful, but in the new era, people can pull out the mountains, with one enemy hundred, and the ancient new era between the times fault in general, the change of human physique is very abrupt, but it also brings a different kind of new vitality, so in the Tang Dynasty, everything is full of vitality, an unprecedented prosperity is coming, and it will last for a long time.
However, the Tang Dynasty prospered for ten years, a snowy night shattered everything, the complete territory was divided into three, plus the Xiongnu north of the Great Wall, there are four countries on the land of the world: Northern Wei, Southern Liang, Western Chu and Xiongnu, the original Tang Dynasty orphans established today's Northern Wei Dynasty, continuing the bloodline, Li Yuanying, the daughter of Li Yuanying, became Li Yuanhao as a last resort and ascended to the throne of the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Sir, I don't understand, why do you often ask me to recite the songs of the twenty-four dynasties of ancient times?" Li Yuanhao asked.
Kong Weiting glanced at the blue sky and replied: "It's very simple, take history as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses, know the rise and fall, and be well-dressed." Your Majesty's current situation is not good, it can be said that it is an unprecedented predicament, inside and outside the court, and the border gates are not under Your Majesty's control. β
Li Yuanhao nodded, his face was never serious, what Kong Weiting said was true, whether it was the relationship chart under the bed in the palace or the old man in the Kowloon Pavilion, all of them were unusable resources on paper, and now she was empty-handed, and playing with the Queen Mother was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, perhaps, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, her little emperor was not even an egg.
"Sir, what should I do if history is a mirror?" asked Li Yuanhao.
Kong Weiting opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty's situation is indeed miserable, the abdomen and back are attacked inside and outside, but it is also divided into the front and back, the Great Wei Border Pass is divided into the southern line, the western line and the northern line, it is too far away from Your Majesty, don't think about it for the time being, Your Majesty's top priority is within the imperial court, and only by starting from the inside is the countermeasure." β
"But, sir, now all the government is in the hands of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's dictatorship, but does not control the government, the three provinces and six ministries are reasonably and game-sharing in the hands of the four auxiliary ministers, and the hundreds of officials and ministers of the court are moved when they hear the wind, and they all stand behind the Queen Mother, otherwise, three years ago, I would not be embarrassed to be blasted out of the Taihe Palace. Li Yuanhao said lightly, but only those who experienced that palace coup d'Γ©tat knew that it was dangerous, and it was after that time that Li Yuanhao was extremely angry and depressed, and he was drunk with Wu Qingyuan, and then Wu Qingyuan was demoted for three years.
"Moreover, the old eunuch Zhao Duling in the palace, with the name of the chief administrator of the palace, actually controls the forbidden army and guards, and turns the palace into a cage that no bird can fly into. Outside the palace, there are countless spies of Chu Renfeng, I don't know if there are any spies around me, even the inner library is held in the hands of the queen mother, and the entry and exit of a penny are recorded, I have no way at all, if there is no helper. Li Yuanhao lifted the curtain and pointed to Yu Qing, who was driving, Yu Qing heard a voice behind him and turned around and smiled, "No, this may be the only helper that my Emperor His Majesty can trust." β
The little eunuch Yu Qing didn't know what to say: "Yes, Your Majesty can trust the minions." β
Li Yuanhao lowered the curtain, spread his hands, and sighed, the baby was bitter, but the baby didn't say.
Kong Weiting laughed silently, and only after a long time did he speak: "Your Majesty, you were too anxious three years ago, and that time you were blasted out of the Taihe Palace, it was not a scandal, but a good lesson. As His Majesty said, now the court is monolithic inside and outside, and it is too difficult to start, even if she tastes the courage of lying down, the Queen Mother will not give too much time, so the first thing Your Majesty needs to do is to cultivate his own forces. β
"Cultivating your own power?" Li Yuanhao sighed, "Mr. said with a smile, how easy is this." β
"It is really impossible to cultivate new forces from the inside, the Queen Mother attaches equal importance to grace and power, and the means of controlling people are first-class, so if you want to cultivate your own forces, you should come from the outside. β
"What do you mean, sir?"
"At the beginning of spring next year, the spring exam will begin. β
"The spring exam will only start next year, and now it's just ...... winter" Li Yuanhao suddenly woke up, his hands clenched, "The scholars who enter Beijing to take the exam will enter Beijing in advance, and Mr. took me out of the palace today, could it be that this is for this?!"
Kong Weiting smiled mysteriously, with a handsome and elegant face, quite a pampered and unfazed demeanor, but he hadn't kept it for a moment, there was an emergency outside the car, Yu Qing shouted: "The eyes are long and the butt is on", Mr. Kong didn't sit down, ouch, his eyebrows hit the frame of the car, and he fell on all fours, and the image of the master was suddenly gone.
