194 Extra 04: Song Yu
With the help of his father Song Jing, Song Yu took over the Lingyin Temple and the power of the secret guard in Li Chen's hands, and made major changes internally, forming a civil force with the four major token holders restraining each other and performing their own duties.
"Although I can't say what will happen in the future, as long as the child is in one day, there will definitely be no moths. If the child is not there, all parties will contain each other, and there will probably be no big mistakes. β
Song Yu walked with his mother in the mountains behind Lingyin Temple, and told his mother what he had done in the past three or two years.
Li Chen probably had too many things to worry about when his father and mother were alive, but now that her son has grown up and the horse has retired from the phase, she has become more and more lazy. She has confidence in Song Yu, so she doesn't ask about these things.
"Since these things have been entrusted to you, there is nothing to worry about my mother."
When Song Yu heard this, he had a slight smile on his face and did not speak.
Li Chen looked at the mountains in the distance, then looked at the young man standing beside her, and said with a smile: "It's really unforgiving." β
Song Yu's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey: "A-Niang will always be so young and beautiful." β
Li Chen glanced at him with a smile and said, "San Lang has been looking for you several times, what are you going to do?" β
Song Yu was slightly stunned.
The San Lang that Li Chen said is the current emperor Li Longji. Soon after Li Longji ascended the throne, Song Jing retired from the Zhongshu Order and the Military Aircraft, and now Song Jing is concentrating on playing the piano with the princess, touring the mountains and rivers, and is very leisurely. And Song Yu is not so good life, Song Jing just retired for two years, probably when Li Longji chatted with Princess Yongchang sometime, what did the princess say, in short, Song Yu was at ease for two or three years, under the escort of Shu Ye and other secret guards, he traveled with Master Wuyun in all directions. But in the past two years, he has not had such good luck, because Li Longji began to arrest him to discuss political affairs.
Song Yu is not aspiring to the rivers and lakes, he has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, and he was taught by the eclectic Princess Yongchang, which is always completely different from his father's style of acting. He has traveled all over the world, naturally knows how difficult the people's livelihood is, and has many ideas in his heart, but he always feels that the period is not mature, so he is resigning. What's more, now it is rare that his father and mother are now staying in Chang'an, Song Yu still wants to spend more time with his parents, once he enters the court, according to Li Longji's current strength of grinding his fists, it is estimated that he will have to stay in the palace for three days and two ends.
Li Chen: "You used to always say that the time was not ripe, but now? β
Since Li Xian took over the throne from Emperor Zetian and Song Jing implemented the new policy, the atmosphere in the court is much better than before, and various policies to benefit the people have been implemented, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the treasury has begun to be full. But probably the heavens saw that the Tang Dynasty had been too smooth in recent years, so natural disasters began to come again, first floods, then droughts, and last year there was a locust plague, a famine in Guanzhong, and some people cannibalism.
"It's almost the same now, but I want to follow the case in the Criminal Department or Dali Temple first, and then I can listen to the government on weekdays."
Li Chen turned his head sideways and looked at him.
Song Yu said with a smile: "Last year, the Chinese book ordered Yao Xiang to preside over the action of culling locusts in the Tang states, what does A-Niang think? β
"Do you mean Yao Chong? Your father was full of praise for him, and when your father had not yet retired, many things were discussed with him. You have already judged these things in your heart, so why do you ask me? β
Of course, Yao Chong's person Li Chen knew that when Zhang Cambodia and others presided over the coup d'Γ©tat and wanted to force her mother Wu Zetian to pass the throne to her second brother Li Xian, Li Xian ascended the throne and moved Wu Zetian to Shangyang Palace to bid farewell to Wu Zetian's ministers, only Yao Chong shed tears on the spot and bid farewell to the old master. At that time, some ministers accused him of participating in the coup d'Γ©tat, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the empress dowager has moved to Shangyang Palace, so he should not cry like this. Yao Chong cried again and again, participating in the coup d'Γ©tat was for the sake of the country, and now he said goodbye to the old master, because he thought of the kindness of Emperor Zetian to him over the years, why shouldn't he?
At the time of the coup, Li Chen was not present, he had heard all kinds of things during the coup, and many things were forgotten after hearing about them, but this incident was always remembered.
Last year, there was a locust plague in the Tang Dynasty, and Yao Chong advocated culling. However, many ministers believed that the locust plague was a disaster from heaven, and it was the Son of Heaven who made the heavens dissatisfied that it would cause the people to suffer, and as long as the Son of Heaven practiced virtue diligently and satisfied the heavens, there would naturally be no locust plagues. Besides, what if the plague of locusts is artificially culled and angered the heavens, and then an even greater natural plague will fall?
The ancients were superstitious for not a day or two, and Li Chen was speechless about this kind of remarks. But Yao Chong has always tried his best to defy public opinion and send manpower to kill locusts.
Li Chen expressed his appreciation for this Zhongshu Ling's approach, as for his personal morality and those bad things with his few unsuccessful sons, the so-called clear distinction between public and private, Li Chen did not pay attention to it.
After all, not everyone is as high-spirited as Song Jing and matches his words and deeds.
Thinking of his horse, the expression on Li Chen's face couldn't help but soften a little.
At this time, Shu Zhi came to Li Chen and said, "Princess, the concubine is ready to finish the incense, and I am waiting for you and the little county king in the front mountain." β
Li Chen responded, and didn't want to talk to Song Yu about these things anymore, so he said to him concisely: "If San Lang wants you to learn from Yao Chong, this is okay, but I think San Lang probably doesn't have such thoughts." It's not like you've been through things now, anyway, you can do it yourself. β
Now that the locust plague is nearing its end, Yao Chong's request to local officials to cull locusts has achieved remarkable results and is a great contributor. In the past year or so, Li Longji and Yao Chong, prime ministers and ministers, have indeed experienced a honeymoon period, but Yao Chong's private virtues have always been criticized. Probably Li Longji also discovered that when the country is in crisis, it is necessary to be eclectic in employing people. However, if the situation is stable, it is necessary to need a gentleman who can lead by example and play an exemplary role in the court.
Yao Chong is a time-saver, and he needs such a flexible person to step forward in times of crisis, but once the crisis passes, his personal morality will be a big problem. Yao Chong formed a party for personal gain, and allowed the people around him to take bribes, this matter is not new, it did not alarm the emperor before, and a few days ago I heard that Yao Chong was impeached by a confidant, Yao Chong may have room for maneuver if Mingzhe keeps silent, but Yao Chong chose to rescue the little official.
In this way, Li Longji will probably really quit the prime minister, it is just a matter of time or time.
Song Yu smiled bitterly, "The sage hopes that I can enter Zhongshu Province." β
Li Chen was not surprised by Song Yu's answer, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Well, if you really plan to enter the court, you should come according to your own thoughts." Saburo there, you might convince him yourself? β
Song Yu nodded, "A-Niang doesn't have to worry. β
Li Chen thinks that he still knows Song Yu very well, he has always been very measured in doing things, since he said that he can deal with it, then he doesn't need her and Song Jing to worry about it.
Li Chen: "Since this is the case, let's go to the front mountain." Your father is waiting. β
Song Yu: "A-Niang and her father will go back to the house first, and the child still has some things that he wants to discuss with Master Wuyun." β
Li Chen also went with him and walked to the front mountain, where Song Jing was carrying his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery under the mountain. He is now gray, and it is easy for people to judge the blood relationship between him and Song Yu just from his face. Dressed in regular clothes, he is middle-aged, but he can stand like a pine, which makes him very tall.
Song Jing saw Li Chen, and his sword eyebrows raised slightly, "Why are you the only one?" β
Li Chen walked to his side and said with a smile: "Yu'er has gone to find Master Wuyun, hmm, are we going to walk down the mountain or what?" β
"It's been a long time since I've been here with you, but it's rare to come here today, so let's go." The colt, who usually does not smile in front of the powerful, always unconsciously smiles in front of the princess.
Li Chen heard Song Jing say this, so he walked down the mountain with him.
"Shu Zhishi just told me that there are guests in the princess's mansion these days?" Song Jing stretched out his hand and took Li Chen's hand, and then the intertwined hands of the two disappeared in his wide sleeve.
Li Chen has long been accustomed to Song Jing's actions, as long as there are no outsiders, Song Jing will never hide his emotions. Li Chen's held hand shook Song Jing's hand, and then corrected his words, "It's not a guest, it's a little girl from a martial arts family, her parents died early, she was helpless, and when her mother was alive, she was already close to the palace." β
"People from the martial arts? I thought you had always hated the people of the martial arts family, and you didn't want to have any concern for them. Song Jing was a little surprised.
Since Li Xian ascended the throne, none of these people have been able to have good fruits to eat, when Wu Zetian was in power in the early years, the Wu family was arrogant and domineering, once Wu Zetian retreated, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were useless. And half a year after Wu Zetian died of illness, Li Xian collected a bunch of incriminating evidence of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, and dealt with those two people and the entire Wu family. And the little girl of the martial arts family who Wu Zetian took into the palace back then was the daughter of Wu Youzhi, whose name was Wu Ling'er, and was forgotten by everyone. Not long ago, Li Chen and Song Jing came back from a trip to Jiangnan Road, and it happened that Li Longji held a family banquet in Daming Palace, so Li Chen went to the palace and inadvertently took a photo with Wu Ling'er.
Wu Ling'er is now a girl with a beautiful appearance, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and she looks forward to it.
Li Chen saw Wu Ling'er and didn't say anything, but turned around and told Li Longji that Wu Ling'er was once very loved by the Empress Dowager Zetian, but now that the Empress Dowager Zetian has passed away, Wu Ling'er has no one to take care of in the palace, and she plans to take Wu Ling'er to the princess's mansion.
Li Longji hadn't heard any requests from Aunt Yongchang for many years, but now when he heard that Aunt Yongchang had such a plan, he didn't say a word and agreed. Li Chen left the palace with the front foot, and Li Longji issued an edict with the back foot, asking Wu Ling'er to pack up the burden and hurry to the Yongchang Princess Mansion.
Li Chen heard Song Jing's words, and said with a smile: "I used to hate the Wu family, but today, when I think of Wu Sansi, I still feel very annoying. But this Wu Ling'er has been approached by my mother in the palace since she was a child, so she is naturally different from others. After her mother died, she had nothing to rely on in the harem, so it was better to let her out of the palace. β
As she spoke, she looked sideways at Song Jing beside her, with a shallow smile on her face, "Guangping, this is probably the last idle thing I managed." β
Song Jing looked at her, now that both of them had grown their temples, he always felt that his princess was the same for ten years.
"What about Yu'er? You don't care about him in the future? β
"How can his business be considered idle? Besides, his father is so capable, if there is something he really can't get by, it is much more useful to find his father than to find his mother. β
Song Jing took the princess's hand, and the two walked slowly in the mountains and fields, and the wind blew, bringing up the clothes and belts of the two, which were sometimes separated, sometimes entangled.
Song Jing's voice came from the wind, "Well, his affairs should have been taken care of a long time ago, and I don't want to care about it in the future." β
The princess couldn't help but laugh, "You don't care about his business, what are you going to do?" β
"How can you be so bored? Yongchang, do you remember when you were seriously ill and what you said to me when you recovered? β
Li Chen was stunned for a moment, remembering that Song Jing had made a promise with her at that time.
Holding the hand of the son, and the son is old.
Song Jing turned his head and looked at Li Chen, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "It seems that you haven't forgotten." β
Li Chen's smiling eyes met his gaze, "How could I forget such a thing?" β
Song Jing bowed slightly, "It's good that I won't forget, you and I will meet Baishou, within the Tang Dynasty, I and you have not yet finished walking all over the world, visiting all the famous mountains and rivers, I don't have much to do with you, but it is enough for us to finish this life." β
In the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Princess Yongchang and her concubine Song Jing left Chang'an. At the same time, Song Yu, the son of Princess Yongchang, officially entered the court as an official.
The departure of the older generation means that the era belonging to the younger generation has begun.
