Chapter 745: Gao Lishi holds a fasting meeting
1. "Congratulations to Brother Gao, congratulations to Brother Gao." ”
As soon as the sealed decree was given, the crown prince Li Xiang came to congratulate him.
Gao Lishi hurriedly saluted respectfully and said: "The prince has tormented the old slave, you call the old slave so, the old slave can't afford it." ”
It's not the first time that the prince has called Gao Lishi his brother, he also called him so in front of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, Li Longji acquiesced, which made the prince test the weight of Gao Lishi in his father's heart, and then tried his best to stammer, which made Gao Lishi honestly afraid.
Not long after the crown prince Li Xiang came, the kings and princesses also arrived in an endless stream. Tang Xuanzong had many brothers and children, and there was no room for one courtyard, so the subordinates came over and asked: "Master, the hall is full, and there are people who come to congratulate one after another outside, what should we do?"
Gao Lishi pondered for a while and said: "Set up a flowing water banquet on the street to entertain the common people, and the major restaurants in the city will charter a banquet to entertain civil and military officials." ”
"Gao Weng, let's stay at home and be lively. King Xuan came over and said.
"If there is not enough place, I will take my brothers and sisters to my concubine's mansion to entertain you. Princess Changning's colt leaned over and said.
"It's a bit cramped at home, which makes you laugh. Colliers said humbly.
This happened to be heard by Li Linfu, who had just entered the door, and he smiled: "If Gao Weng's mansion is small, wouldn't our house be a chicken coop?"
Gao Lishi's house is really not small, the size of more than a dozen football fields, but there are many people who can't stand it, and officials of all sizes in the whole capital come to join in the fun on the same day, can this not be a headache.
"Gao Weng, I'll give you an idea and promise to solve this matter immediately. Princess Yuzhen Li Zhiying said with a smile.
"I want to hear ----- detail"
"Xijing Baoshou Temple has just been built, why don't Gao Weng take this opportunity to go there to hold a fasting party, which not only solves your problem, but also accumulates good deeds for the Buddhist family. Princess Yuzhen said.
After listening to Princess Yuzhen's suggestion, he immediately decided to go to Baoshou Temple to pray for the emperor, and all the officials who came to visit the mansion were entertained in Baoshou Temple.
"Master, the matter of the flowing water banquet ------," the subordinate asked respectfully.
"Your lord is still short of this little money, and the water runs for three days, and the people in the city come to eat casually. Colliers was in a good mood, laughed and sent his subordinates out.
When Gao Lishi and others arrived at Xijing Hoshou Temple, they were just in time for the temple bell to be cast.
"General Gao is a blessed man. The presiding officer of Hoshou Temple complimented.
Then he said, "Let General Gao ring this first bell." ”
It is particular to go to the temple to ring the bell, and if you strike the bell once, you will pay a hundred yuan. A tael of money is a consistent money, and it is worth one tael of silver.
Gao Lishi was happy in his heart, took the bell hammer and struck it more than 30 times in succession. This coke spoiled the deacons in the temple.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials who came to cheer also followed, no one dared to surpass General Gao, but no one dared to knock too little, generally more than 20 hits, and the least was not less than 10 times.
The abbot sincerely thanked Gao Lishi and said: "General Gao, today I really borrowed your light to let us open the temple and receive such a big red envelope." ”
"Joy, joy,------" Colliers replied respectfully.
Although Gao Lishi is in a high position, he does not have the slightest arrogance, he is gentle and cautious about people, rarely makes mistakes, is good at observing the current situation, and does not dare to be arrogant, so Xuanzong always trusts him, and the scholars and doctors do not hate him.
Gao Lishi held a fasting meeting in Baoshou Temple to pray for his own blessing, and it didn't take long for it to reach the ears of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
"Aifei, let's go and have a good time, shall we?" Tang Xuanzong was a little warm.
The Baoshou Temple in Xijing is very lively because of the fast party held there by Gaolishi, and the people of the capital also rushed to visit the temple fair to see the excitement.
The sense of smell of the merchants is sensitive, and those who pinch clay people, sell sugar melons, set up stalls, and tell fortunes, everyone gathers at Baoshou Temple.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan, who were privately interviewed by Weifu, went shopping with great interest.
"This is all thanks to General Gao. Someone said on the way.
"It should be the blessing of the emperor, without the emperor's seal, General Gao just wants to hold this fasting party and has no such reason, right?" Someone next to him corrected.
Hearing this, Yang Yuhuan quipped: "San Lang, I also want to touch your blessings."
Li Longji smiled: "If you want to dip, you can dip it at any time." ”
After speaking, he leaned towards Yang Yuhuan and deliberately rubbed her twice.
"Saburo is so Laipi. Yang Yuhuan slapped Li Longji and quickly ran away. Chasing all the way, frolicking all the way, the two came to the scene of the fasting party.
"San Lang, are we going in?" Yang Yuhuan asked.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji shook his head and said, "Don't go in, let's play outside for a while, it's so lively here, it's too tiring to go in and carry a shelf." ”
This is very much in line with Yang Yuhuan's meaning. The two went around the temple a few times, enjoying the flowers, scenery, and the sun before returning to the palace.
The bustle and calm are followed by loneliness. Everyone went to the scene of the fasting meeting, there was a rare coldness in the court, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji sighed: "Aifei, I am old, and I always want to arrange your affairs before I die, I am really afraid that you will be aggrieved after my death." ”
Yang Yuhuan knew her ending, and she said gloomily: "I died earlier than you, you don't have to arrange my affairs." ”
"Nonsense, what do you say at a young age to die, to live. Li Longji scolded.
Yang Yuhuan rolled his eyes and said, "As far as you say, I can't say it?"
"I'm revealing my true feelings, you're talking nonsense. Li Longji said.
"A lot of times, I also hope it's not true------," Yang Yuhuan said, tears falling down, and she couldn't cry anymore.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji hurriedly wiped Yang Yuhuan's tears, and coaxed: "It's all my fault, I made Concubine Ai sad, we all live a long life, don't say this sad thing, okay?"
"Good ------"
"Aifei, do you think you should give your cousin Yang Zhao a reward?"
Yang Yuhuan didn't like Yang Zhao very much, and looked down on him as a person who did not hesitate to ignore his conscience and frame his brothers of the same clan and clan in order to advance: "He advanced too quickly, and he didn't need any reward." ”
Contrary to Yang Yuhuan, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji is very optimistic about Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao is good at observing words and feelings, accumulating money in a good way, and within a year, he was promoted like a rocket, and at this time he has already held fifteen positions such as the imperial historian, the judge branch, and the secretary of the Taifu of Quanzhi.
"Yang Zhao has worked hard for me, and he has never made any mistakes in managing my finances. Tang Xuanzong said.
Yang Yuhuan heard that Tang Xuanzong Li Longji had already made up his mind to add an official to Yang Zhao, so she didn't say anything more.
said cautiously: "The concubines know very little about the affairs of the court, so the emperor can just take the idea." ”
