0193 Taiping Tsod
After dinner, Princess Taiping was still in high spirits and had no intention of leaving, so she summoned Yin Sheng into the hall and sang and danced for joy.
Now that the vocal music in the Three Kings' Mansion is widespread, it is no longer as interesting as the first time I heard the sound in Renzhi Courtyard last year, and the family listened to the vulgar tune "Shaking Niang".
In addition to showing leisure, these musicians are also a means for Li Tong to accumulate manpower, and they also have the convenience of eunuch Yang Xu in charge of the inner teaching workshop, so there are not a few people in Sandi. In addition to the two loose music sounds, there are also more than 30 households of children of the sect, and there are as many as two or three hundred men, women and children.
Fortunately, the Three Kings Liandi occupies a small half of the Xinfang District, and there are no wives and concubines themselves, otherwise it would be a problem for so many people to live.
The concubine Fang's personality is solemn, so the Duoqing Shang Leqi who stayed in the palace of King Yong played a qin song adapted by Li Tonggang from Lintai's visit and Yan Shigu, the secretary of the Zhenguan period, from the ancient flute song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys".
"The world hears that the plum blossom song is sad and complains about the flute sound, but I don't know that there is such an elegant and dignified piano exercise."
Princess Taiping couldn't help but high-five and praise after enjoying the song. Before the drastic changes in her family, she was also wealthy and leisurely, and her husband Xue Shao was a high-ranking talent in Duyi, so Princess Taiping's appreciation level was also extremely high.
But this dignified Qingle qin song is not lively after all, and it is not in line with its aesthetic interest, after the goodbye song, the concubine Fang's demeanor is already quite tired, Princess Taiping simply proposed to transfer to Li Tong Hedong Mansion to continue to enjoy Yan music, no longer disturb the concubine's rest.
Li Tong told the servants to prepare to entertain guests, while looking at this aunt who was still quite interested, she was also crying sadly, her emotions were up and down, her mother Fang was already depressed, and Princess Taiping didn't seem to be affected much after venting, which shows that their Li family's bloodline is really a bit different from ordinary people.
may be emotionally rich, and it is inevitably affected by the pathos of ordinary sad people, but it is not too much indulged in it, and he can quickly adjust his mentality.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this should be a bit cold, but in fact, it is also a kind of pragmatism. No matter how much the past personnel are indulged in and unable to extricate themselves, it is difficult to catch up after all, and the most important thing for the living is to live the present after all.
So a group of people went to the Hedong Mansion in a noisy again, and when they performed dance music again, it was far more lively than just now.
In particular, the day before yesterday, Princess Taiping was even more amazed by the gathering of wisdom and the newly expanded "Luoyang Daughter's Trip", and even took Tang Lingshu by her side, and her demeanor was even more intimate: "You are really lucky to be a little lady, you can be so loved by the king of my family, she is wonderful, her songs are coquettish, and when the famous music is spread, Luoyang's daughter is afraid that everyone will be jealous!" ”
Hearing Princess Taiping say this, Tang Lingshu was shy and proud, his beautiful eyes were shining, and his gaze fell on the king as if he had taken root.
Princess Taiping even called Li Tong to the side of the seat, pushed the little lady to his side, and said: "The beauty of the world, who doesn't love it!" A pair of beautiful people with complexes, even if it's just to see them twice, I will often come to the house to harass San Lang in the future. ”
After Li Tong heard this, he smiled and said: "My aunt is the head of the family, and the sect is Huashi, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my wishes when I ask about my daily life in the hall. Ordinary exchanges, just make my door more glorious, where is the nuisance. ”
"With Saburo's words, I am relieved. The next day, let people send some living curtains, and then they will live here for a long time. ”
Hearing Princess Taiping say this, Li Tong's face suddenly froze, and before she could open her mouth to respond, Princess Taiping laughed again: "Don't worry, your aunt is an interesting person." The newcomer's door is happy for itself, and it is more expensive than a thousand gold in a snap of a finger, how can it be disturbed and interfered with by the eyes and ears of others. ”
Speaking of this, her face turned formal slightly, and she looked at Li Tong and said seriously: "But there is one thing, I want to ask San Lang to help me." ”
Li Tong saw Princess Taiping's demeanor like this, although he muttered in his heart, but the words were too full, and it was not good to go back on his word directly, so he could only stubbornly say: "But there is a small force, and my aunt only cares about the lesson." Niangniang's preface is still around her ears, and Baoyu dares to disobey. ”
"Baoyu, Baoyu, this new name is really good!"
Hearing Li Tong claim herself, Princess Taiping muttered in her mouth, and only smiled again after a while: "The story is not too much, your sister-in-law has left a long rest, although he is young, but he has also reached the age of gradually understanding people." Your aunt may have a bit of a lazy life, but she really lacks the virtue to teach her son. San Lang, you are a rare talent in my family, I already feel extraordinary when I first see it, and now I have a talent that has been exposed to the world, which is even more amazing! ”
"So, I want to ask Saburo for you to discipline that little boy for me. Even if you don't dare to conceive that little child, who is the same as you, you can pity your aunt's lonely mother's hard work. From a small point of view, he is not as good as San Lang you can be pruned and can be made of outstanding jade, and I don't expect him to grow into an enviable talent like San Lang you, but he can grow up safely, dignified and self-reliant, and my aunt will not forget San Lang for the rest of her life! ”
When Princess Taiping said this, her eyes that had not yet disappeared were full of tears, and she only grabbed Li Tong's hand and looked at him with a real face.
When Li Tong heard this request, his heart was also quite complicated, and he was silent for a while before he spoke: "I am grateful to my aunt from the bottom of my heart for her appreciation, and I have not lost the courage to respect and accept the trust. But I myself am still groping forward, trembling, lest I make a mistake and live up to the expectations of praise given by the world. My cousin is a noble family, or he may suffer from a short period of misfortune, but after all, his father's family is deep and rich, and there is no trouble and no help, so I rashly accept this, if I hand over my shallowness to others......"
"What famous? It's just a group of short-sighted mediocrities who are dedicated to their ancestors! It is difficult for them to seek their own work, and what goodness can they teach others! ”
When Princess Taiping said this, her demeanor was already quite angry, and she sighed and said: "The hidden family feud should not be publicized, but San Lang, you are a disciple of my family, and there is nothing to say." If the Xue clan is worthy of trust, why should I bother San Lang you......"
Probably because she had been depressed for a long time, Princess Taiping opened her mouth and talked endlessly, talking about many disputes with the people of the Xue clan.
Li Tong listened carefully to these complaints, and silently classified these deeds in his heart.
The contradictions between Princess Taiping and the Xue family in Hedong can be roughly divided into three categories.
One is the short friction in the family, she is the princess of the emperor, her status is noble, although she has a good relationship with her husband after marrying Xue, but she is definitely not as gentle and obedient as an ordinary bride. The Xue family is also a big clan in Hedong, and there are many clansmen, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of friction between them, and the relationship is really not good.
It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, although Xue Shao's group was involved in the rebellion of the king of the sect and was almost killed, but the other Xue clans still remained. These people are not close to Princess Taiping, and according to the princess herself, they are probably more happy to see their own family lacking support and being down.
The second type is the conflict of political positions, and among the Xue clan, there are also people who are dissatisfied with the ruling power of the heroine Wu Zetian. In particular, Wu Zetian let Xue Huaiyi impersonate the Xue family, which was regarded by many people as a great humiliation for the family. Li Tong even suspected that the Xue Shao brothers were involved in the rebellion of King Yue and others, which probably had something to do with it.
The third category, which Li Tong sounds and feels most important, is economic disputes. Although there are many branches of the Xue clan in Hedong, relatively speaking, the most noble one is still the Xue Shao branch, because there is a layer of royal relations, so the Xue Shao brothers also control many Xue clan industries.
However, when the Xue Shao brothers were involved in the rebellion, most of these properties were confiscated, and most of them were then given to Princess Taiping by Wu Zetian.
Putting aside other major rights and wrongs, food, clothing, shelter and transportation are necessary for the living. The Xue family lost such a huge amount of industry, it was really painful. Even if these properties are not in their name, they were in the hands of their own family members earlier, and they can always share some benefits. But now that they are in the hands of Princess Taiping, it will be difficult for them to share the profits.
Because of these reasons, after Xue Shao's death, the relationship between Princess Taiping and the Xue clan became very bad, and they almost did not get along. Up to now, several counties in Shendu, including Puzhou Prefecture in the east of the Xue family's Hedong Township, have even backlogged a number of lawsuits against Princess Taiping for embezzlement.
After hearing this, Li Tong also felt a lot of emotion, and even felt the embarrassing situation of Princess Taiping's current isolation and helplessness.
Princess Taiping is favored by her mother Wu Zetian on the one hand, but this favor is not very reliable to be honest: you said that you love me, but you raised your hand and killed my husband, you have the face to say, I have to have the courage to believe it.
Moreover, the king's favor is one thing, and the ability to transform this favor into a power under his control is another. If you can't do this, no matter how much you pamper, it's just vain, and the blessings and blessings are only in people's thoughts.
Let's take Li Tong as an example, he was indeed quite loved by his grandmother during this time, but what about after that? If he can't consolidate his value for a long time and can't grasp enough power to adapt, he will only be a chess piece in the palm of his grandmother's hand.
Li Tong can stand up in Lintai, which makes people dare not underestimate it, and he can gather time in the house, and his wonderful works are frequent. If he didn't have these performances, how could he have the qualifications to force the prime minister to make a slight concession to him?
The current Princess Taiping obviously hasn't found a routine yet. In real history, it is true that Princess Taiping lacked a sense of existence in the early and middle stages of Wu Zhou, and was just a boring lady living in the background.
It was not until Wu Zetian determined the political idea of Li Wu's confluence that she officially stepped onto the political stage as the daughter of the Li family and the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, and quickly grew into a bigwig in the late Wu Zhou and Zhongzong dynasties.
Li Tong already had the idea of reaching some political tacit agreement with this aunt, but he was still hesitating before, but he didn't expect that Princess Taiping had already come to the door first.
