Chapter 532 The General Trend
"Haven't you seen that yet? The reason why Gaozu Taizong prospered in later generations was because they had a large group of excellent sons. Yuan Ziyan said.
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly realized, his face was filled with bitterness, and he laughed at himself: "In this way, how can the world compare with the two first emperors." ”
"Lord Eldest Sun, I'm not laughing at you for anything, they could only carry a burden of 100 catties, and if you have to add 200 catties to them, it may not be a good thing for the descendants." Yuan Ziyan nodded.
"What the national teacher said is reasonable, and the auxiliary machine will go back to the house to pack up, and after saying goodbye to Your Majesty, he will leave the capital immediately." The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand.
Yuan Ziyan glanced at Wu Mei, and Wu Mei looked embarrassed: "Uncle, Your Majesty is so angry that I don't want to see you at this time." Uncle and go to Qianzhou first, maybe he can return to the court in the future to seek the well-being of the people. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's expression stiffened, and he fought for most of his life, but he didn't expect that in the end, the emperor of the Li family didn't want to see him again.
"But don't worry, uncle, Your Majesty has explained, the state government escorted along the way, and my uncle is in a hurry, so he is not in a hurry." Wu Mei said again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for me."
That's it, that's it, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't beg bitterly, but he didn't lose the demeanor of a generation of famous ministers, he looked at Yuan Ziyan deeply, turned around with a staggering step, and walked towards the mansion.
The eldest grandson Wuji and his sons were exiled, most of their family property was confiscated, and their relatives were reduced to government slaves. Countless officials were involved, the court was reshuffled, many old heroes and heroes faded, and a group of high-spirited rising stars appeared in front of people, and unfamiliar faces were quickly familiarized.
The eldest grandson Wuji was brought down. The speed and ruthlessness of the wrist made the courtiers stunned. It's a pity, but the trend of the times, there are very few people in the court who speak for the eldest grandson Wuji, and in the end, he acquiesced to this status quo, and he stood in line in the future.
Including Yuan Ziyan, he believed that the eldest grandson Wuji had also received the punishment he deserved, and his title could be restored in the future. Even re-enablement is not impossible.
Above the court, although there is no family surnamed Wu in power. But the courtiers have seen the power of the queen, and they don't care whether they are sincere or not, at least they don't dare to oppose it on the surface.
What kind of woman is this!
As the first emperor, he entered the Ganye Temple and fell as a nun, and the morning bell and dusk drum. The Green Lantern Ancient Buddha should be its home. However, after a few years, Wu Mei transformed into the new emperor's Zhaoyi. And then with lightning speed, it seems that Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei fell overnight, ended up in a tragic death, and were even deprived of their surnames, which is appalling. Even the queen's own sister committed suicide by hanging herself. The cause of death is extremely strange, and there are many rumors in the outside world.
The eldest grandson Wuji was the loudest opponent of the queen in the court. Unexpectedly, it was only a few years of hard work, and he collapsed, and he was already in his sixties, and he was exiled to Qianzhou. The ruthlessness of the emperor is one thing, and the queen's domineering is the main reason, which is the speculation of the ministers and the people.
Seeing that Wu Mei had already controlled the situation of the imperial court, Yuan Ziyan felt that the burden on his shoulders was also much lighter, and the political participation in the early dynasty gradually decreased, and he occasionally stayed in Mochizuki Villa.
As long as Wu Mei's work is on the right track, she should also retreat bravely, otherwise when it is a head, there should always be a time to let go.
"Back to the owner, there is a beggar sneaking at the foot of the mountain, driving him away, and then coming again, repeating it several times, as if waiting for someone." Early in the morning, the guards came to report.
"Beggars?" Li Shan was a little puzzled, there were not many people in Mochizuki Villa who interacted with the outside world, let alone had anything to do with a beggar.
"How long has this beggar been here?" Yuan Ziyan asked.
"Returning to the national teacher, this person has been wandering around in front of the palace gate before, and he only came to the villa the day before yesterday."
Yuan Ziyan pondered for a moment and said, "Big brother, maybe this person is coming for me." I'll go down the mountain to see who it is and what is going on. ”
"Ziyan, I'm afraid it's a person with bad intentions, you need to be careful." Li Shan reminded.
"It doesn't matter." Yuan Ziyan said with a smile: "In Mochizuki Villa, I don't believe that anyone else can hurt me. ”
Despite this, Li Shan personally accompanied Yuan Ziyan down the mountain to find out.
At the foot of the hill there was indeed a man, dressed in shabby clothes, one of his shoes was torn and worn, revealing his black feet, and at this time this man was putting his hand in his sleeve, squinting and napping, full of beggar-like appearance.
"Who is coming, and what do you want to do?" Yuan Ziyan asked coldly.
The beggar got up suddenly, but he didn't dare to raise his head, he fell to the ground with a puff, and choked up: "The grass people knock on the national teacher!" ”
The tone is a little familiar, and the posture should be a scholar, but he is unkempt, except for two white eyes, he really can't tell who it is.
"Get up and speak. You are? ”
"Grass people, grass people," the beggar seemed a little hesitant, but he still held back and said solemnly: "It is said that the national teacher is kind and charitable, and there is no money to settle after the death of his father, so he has come to ask for a reward." ”
After speaking, the beggar wiped away his tears, Li Shan frowned and said: "There are people dying every day in this world, since you are the son of a man, you do not seek to be motivated, begging to bury your father, it is a loss." ”
Yuan Ziyan also nodded and said: "Listening to you talk like a cultured person, why don't you go find an errand, or teach and educate people can also have Weibo income, young age, begging for a living, it's not a long-term solution." ”
The beggar slammed his head a few more times, and choked up: "What the national teacher said is extremely true, but my father was also a decent person during his lifetime, and the family is in the middle of the road, and the only thing the grass people can do is to bury their father's scenery, but they are shy in their pockets, and if they want to get together, it is difficult to go to the sky." ”
"Hey, I see that you are also a filial son, so let's take these silver taels and buy a good coffin for your father." Yuan Ziyan said as he took out a money bag from his arms, and threw it to the beggar without counting it.
The beggar hurriedly picked it up and thanked him, but refused to leave. Yuan Ziyan asked puzzledly, "What else do you have to do?" ”
"This, this, the grass people are courageous, ask the national teacher to reward more, and in the next life, the grass will be linked, and the national teacher will definitely repay the great kindness of the national teacher!" The beggar kowtowed vigorously again, and the blood on his forehead mixed with the dirt flowed, which was extremely strange.
"Why, aren't these silver taels enough?" Yuan Ziyan was very surprised, and roughly estimated that these silver taels could almost be worth the income of ordinary people for a lifetime, couldn't they bury a beggar's father?
Li Shan was annoyed and snorted: "The four bodies are not diligent, and they are empty-handed." The money bag of the national teacher, to say the least, is dozens of taels, enough to buy ten pairs of good coffins, insatiable and disgusting! ”
The beggar's face was darker, and Yuan Ziyan judged that it should be blushing, under the cover of dust, so it looked even darker. From this point of view, this person is not a brazen person, Yuan Ziyan asked patiently: "How do you want to bury your father, how much does it cost?" ”
"Although I dare not say that there is a mausoleum, there should also be a sandalwood coffin, brocade body, pearls in the mouth, jade board in hand, and ...... feet"
"That's enough, if you talk nonsense, these silver taels shouldn't be given to you!" Li Shan scolded, the beggar shook his body, kept crying, unwilling to walk away, but did not dare to speak again.
"Ziyan, let's go back." Li Shan persuaded, Yuan Ziyan nodded, and also felt that this beggar was really excessive, how could he do such a funeral for his father.
"Master of the National Teacher, the grass people have great difficulties, and the only person who asks for it is the National Teacher, and I hope for mercy!" The beggar behind him couldn't stop begging, but Li Shan pulled Yuan Ziyan and didn't look back: "There is really everyone in this world, and it should be my own princes and nobles, a family of scholars, and the ministers of the court are only afraid that there is such a funeral ceremony above the three grades." ”
"Hehe, but it's also filial piety." Yuan Ziyan said: "Seeing that he knows shame and knows how to advance and retreat, it doesn't look like a person who cheats money, maybe he really wants to organize a beautiful funeral for his father." ”
"Ziyan, what you have done to him is enough, even if he has this filial piety, he can bury his father first, and then move into the tomb when he is developed in the future. Origin and death, life and death, why care about what happens behind you, it is also foolish and filial piety. Li Shan said.
"Yes, it's still good in the future world, people are cremated when they die, and no one cares about a handful of ashes, but these are those who have rich burials, and sooner or later people will be remembered and gone." Yuan Ziyan smiled, and remembered another thing: "A few days ago, I watched the sky at night, and a star fell due south, symbolizing the death of another big man. Relatives or remnants of sorrow, others have also sang, what is the way to die, the body is the same as the mountain......"
Li Shan even called out good poems, and also said that people in the future can think about it, and make some luxurious mausoleums to cost the people and money, and it is very likely that the tomb will be robbed and the bones will be lost.
But Yuan Ziyan stopped, his face became solemn, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly with an oops, he turned around and walked back in a hurry.
"Ziyan, where are you going?"
"Big brother, I think I know who that beggar is!"
"Who is it?"
The two went down the hill while talking, and the guards said that the beggar had been blown away, and brazenly reached out to the guards to ask for money. If it weren't for the reward of the national teacher, these people would have to beat him to death. The guards also said that this man was not a real beggar, because when they caught up with him, they brought with him a lean horse, and where could the poor afford a horse, just as a man could not afford a car nowadays.
"Don't talk about that, in which direction did this person go?" Yuan Ziyan asked hurriedly.
"South!"
Yuan Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and then eclipsed, but he didn't expect this incident to happen.
"Ziyan, who is it?" Li Shan asked again.
"Big brother, wait until I come back and explain to you." Yuan Ziyan tapped his toes, wanting to rise into the air, suddenly thought of something, touched his arms, and asked embarrassedly, "Can you give some money?" ”
"Take them all!" Li Shan took out a handful of silver tickets from his arms, worth tens of thousands of taels, and said: "I said a long time ago, you are also the owner of the villa, if it is not enough, I will send someone to get it." ”
"That's enough." Yuan Ziyan nodded in gratitude, and then took off into the air and shot towards the south, she wanted to catch up with the young man. (To be continued......)
