Chapter 453: The Prosperous Years

Mrs. Wei waited left and right, and she didn't see Yuan Ziyan looking at her, and finally couldn't hold her breath, and said in a somewhat pleading tone: "Presumably, the national teacher also knows that the bewitching people in the palace are favored, the queen is snubbed by His Majesty, and the concubines know that Your Majesty listens to the words of the national teacher the most......"

"Madam, you are a relative of the queen, you should be strict with yourself, set an example, what a bewitching person, I am disgusted when I hear this, if your majesty hears it, I am afraid that you will also be driven out of the palace." Yuan Ziyan said unceremoniously: "I don't think the queen is without mistakes, I heard that she treats the palace people very harshly, and the subordinates are not small!" ”

"National Teacher Mingjian!" Mrs. Wei Guo hurriedly knelt down and explained: "The queen has been very strict with her family since she was a child, so she is also a little strict with the palace people, but the queen has never beaten and scolded." ”

"It's been a long time, the queen's eyes have grown to the top of her head, and she only sees how noble and excellent she is, and she hasn't even taken me, the emperor's stepmother, into her eyes. Madam, you daughter is not arrogant! Yuan Ziyan scolded.

Mrs. Wei put on a smiling face, looked up at the peach blossoms on the tree, and said with a smile: "The national teacher has misunderstood, in fact, the queen has long wanted to come to meet the national teacher." It's just like this flower, although it is high, but in fact, it is cold and fragile in the high place, and I don't know if there is her in the heart of the national teacher. ”

"So it's to blame me for not hurting the queen?" Yuan Ziyan smiled contemptuously, Mrs. Wei Guo couldn't wait to slap her mouth, what was wrong, Yuan Ziyan's smile suddenly retracted, and said: "You spoil your daughter and compare her to a delicate peach blossom, but you don't know that Your Majesty is this tree trunk." How bright can the flowers be when they leave the tree? And everything can't be separated from the fundamentals, to put it bluntly, you have to be grounded. Holding a shelf all day long, looking like the most bullish lady look, who can treat you sincerely? ”

"Yes, yes, I'll say her when I turn around!" Mrs. Wei Guo said wiping her sweat.

"There is a difference between a monarch and a minister, she is not just your daughter, but a queen. How can you have a lesson? Yuan Ziyan slowly got up, returned to his house, and no longer saw guests.

But he clearly heard the voice from Mrs. Wei Guo's heart: "Phew." She looks enchanting, but she is also born with sharp teeth, is it wrong for my daughter to be noble? What is called being down-to-earth, mingling with the minions. No one will obey her in the future! Bah! ”

Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly and shook his head. Such a deep-rooted concept of the family is the root cause of the real harm to the queen and the queen. In contrast, Wu Mei started from the grassroots level, and now she is a monk in Ganye Temple, and her experience is extraordinary.

It's been more than half a year, it's time to go see Wu Mei, if you don't give her a little encouragement, this kid will definitely be crushed.

Two days later. Yuan Ziyan took a few guards to Ganye Temple, not far from the city center. So he politely refused Li Tao's request to accompany him for protection.

After not coming to the street for a long time, Yuan Ziyan was a little surprised to find that when everyone saw the carriage of the national teacher, they took the initiative to avoid it, and they also consciously lined up the two lanes, shouting in their mouths, looking excited.

"The reputation of the national teacher spreads far and wide, and the people love it." The coachman was deeply affected and said with a lot of mouth.

Yuan Ziyan opened the curtain and smiled and waved at the people, but the doubts in his heart were not small. The major events in the DPRK and China, the outside world is just a rumor, and each has its own support, and Yuan Ziyan rarely walks around among the people, how can he be treated like this?

However, just as he passed by the largest pawnshop in Chang'an, a tall and familiar figure suddenly came into view. The edges and corners are clear, not smiling, and there seems to be a scar on his face, if Yuan Ziyan doesn't care too much about it, it would be difficult to find.

Yuan Ziyan's heart was pounding, and even if he ordered to stop, the man smiled slightly, pointed in the direction of the suburbs, turned around and entered the house, and disappeared.

Yes, it was because he was too anxious, Yuan Ziyan urged the horse to whip up, and got off the carriage in a secluded place in the suburbs, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see Li Mi riding over on horseback.

What made Yuan Ziyan very happy was that Li Mi finally removed the mask and appeared in front of Yuan Ziyan generously in broad daylight.

When several guards saw a stranger approaching, they immediately stood in front of Yuan Ziyan vigilantly and shouted, "Who is coming?" ”

"A small businessman, Jia Lishan, meet the national teacher."

Yuan Ziyan smiled, waved his hand to let the guards retreat, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the famous Mr. Li Shan, I heard that your business involves all walks of life, not to mention the whole country, even half of Chang'an is firmly controlled by you." ”

Li Shan didn't understand his voice, and said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and Li Shan can have today, all of which rely on the emperor's grace and prosperity." ”

Yuan Ziyan's eyes were moist and he nodded slightly, which showed that Li Mi had let go of the past, started a new life, and changed his name to Li Shan. Li Shimin and other older generations have passed away, and Li Mi has changed a lot in his appearance and physical signs after years of training, plus a touch of long hanging chest, it is not easy to recognize at a glance that this is the former Li Mi.

The guards let their guard down and retreated farther away. Li Mi and Yuan Ziyan looked at each other, each with emotion in their hearts, Yuan Ziyan broke the silence and said guiltily: "Big brother, I always said that I was looking for a famous doctor to remove the scar for you, time was in a hurry, but I ignored this matter, but fortunately, the eldest brother has been properly treated, and the scar has basically disappeared." ”

Li Mi said with a smile: "When Taizong was alive before, it was inconvenient for me to show up, so naturally I had little contact with Ziyan. In fact, speaking of which, this scar is also the blessing of Ziyan, and it was Yuan Tianshi who gave me some immortal prescriptions. ”

"What?" Yuan Ziyan's eyes lit up, and he asked happily, "My father is good, where is he now?" ”

"The Heavenly Master traveled all over the world and was nowhere to be found, but like Ziyan, he was blessed by the heavens, and his voice and smile were the same as before. On the contrary, I'm already old, and it doesn't matter if this scar can't be removed. Li Mi said with a grin.

The two talked about the current business situation again, Li Mi was very grateful for Yuan Ziyan's funding at the beginning, and he was also fortunate to catch up with the peaceful and prosperous era, and the business was prosperous, from the minerals, salt industry, military weapons, to Qianzhuang pawnshops, cloth and grain, etc., the scale was very large.

Yuan Ziyan joked: "Big brother, you have now established a money emperor, and you are the king of this country." ”

Li Mi laughed and said: "I originally didn't look down on the profits between this transaction, but now it seems that I was lonely and unheard of before, rich and complacent, leisurely, and able to make friends with heroic officials, but there is no court disturbance, and I am very comfortable." ”

"Big brother, if you still want to recruit troops and make a comeback, it's as easy as a breeze." Yuan Ziyan blinked tentatively.

Li Mi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You, in the end, you are partial to Li Shimin and his descendants, and you want me to protect you." Ziyan, I'm already this age, I've seen a lot, Li Shimin is indeed a generation of Mingjun, I'm ashamed of myself. At the beginning, the previous dynasty rioted and had to do it as a last resort, and now it is natural that the people will no longer be in dire straits. ”

Yuan Ziyan was very moved and said: "Big brother, you come with me to the court, help me get an idea in case of trouble, I'm really tired of staying inside." ”

"Hehe, I'm used to being free and casual, it's hard to obey the constraints anymore, and Li Tao, Biting Jin and others still know me, so it's not good to go again." After Li Mi finished speaking, he said meaningfully: "However, I will take care of everything for you outside the palace." Ziyan, whether you want to find out the news or accumulate public opinion, I can help you. ”

Yuan Ziyan was stunned, and then smiled, when Li Zhi ascended the throne and became the crown prince, Li Mi spent a lot of money to increase his popularity. The two chatted happily for nearly an hour, and there were still things to do, and they said goodbye to each other.

There are powerful forces inside and outside the palace, which makes Yuan Ziyan more confident, and he rushed to Ganye Temple easily and happily. I heard that the national teacher came in person, the door of the courtyard was wide open, and the inside also stepped up to clean up.

Yuan Ziyan is both the national teacher and the stepmother of His Majesty today, it can really be said that she is above tens of thousands of people under one person, I heard that even the emperor listens to her, where do these people dare to underestimate and be busy.

The abbot of Ganye Temple, whose name is Wuxin, is a super fat nun, with a bright head, fat without a neck, I believe that she can't see her toes when she looks down, and the huge monk's robe is worn on her like a pregnant woman.

Seeing Yuan Ziyan walking lightly, Wuxin's eyes lit up, and he ran all the way with his hands and feet, throwing the fat around, giving people a heavy feeling of depression.

The aroma of rouge was mixed with a slight smell of fox, and the strange combination made Yuan Ziyan sneeze twice in succession.

"Poor Ni Wuxin has seen the national teacher, the national teacher is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Wu Xin put his hands together and saluted, squeezing his chest muscles to his neck.

Yuan Ziyan just smiled slightly, and the monks who shouted slogans like this were almost flattering, and walked to the Ganye Temple surrounded by a group of people.

It is worthy of a royal temple, with clean courtyards, century-old trees, fireworks, and pilgrims.

"Wuxin, I came this time, firstly, to pray for the blessings of the people, and secondly, to come and see his concubines for His Majesty." Yuan Ziyan briefly explained the meaning.

"All the nobles have been properly settled, and there is no shortage of people who are looking for the dead and the living, and they have been enlightened one by one and sincerely devoted themselves to the Buddha." Wuxin's face was full of pride, Yuan Ziyan disdained this, what is enlightenment, it is nothing more than intimidation and hunger, these women are delicate and expensive, and they are overly proud, no one can bear such suffering, they must have been disheartened at this time, and they are all devoted to the Buddha.

Wuxin has been chattering non-stop, but the smell on her body is really unpleasant, and the monks should not apply grease and powder, they should want to try their best to cover up the smell of foxes.

It is really painful to walk with this kind of companionship, after Yuan Ziyan burned incense and worshiped the Buddha in the main hall, he took out a few hundred taels of silver to worship, and the tears of excitement flashed in his heart, and he thanked him again and again.

Yuan Ziyan asked about the current living conditions of several high-ranking concubines, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "The first emperor once had a martial artist in the world, called Wu Mei, is he good here?" ”

Wu Mei? Martial arts people? Wuxin's face was dazed, and it was obvious that she didn't care about this kind of woman with a low status at all. (To be continued......)
