Chapter 57: The Calculation of the Eldest Grandson
Yu Chen, an old housekeeper named Li Fu stopped not far from Qingyun Temple with a team of carriages and horses, Ye Lin packed a few packages and brought them to the carriage, and finally took a look at the dilapidated Xiaoguan, it is indeed time to renovate here.
Ye Lin knew that he would not be able to come back in a short time, and some Ye Lin, who loved the bed, was still a little reluctant to this dilapidated small view, but Ye Lin knew that he wanted to fulfill Ye Laodao's last wish and give Ziyun and Ziyi a better home, this small view was obviously not good. Therefore, it is inevitable to rebuild, and the eldest grandson did save Ye Lin a lot of trouble by spending money.
Thinking of this, Ye Lin stepped into the carriage, and left Qingyun Temple in the rustle of green bamboo.
In Chang'an, the eldest grandson stopped the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was about to leave, and Li Chengqian saw that it was the eldest grandson, so he hurriedly went over to say hello.
"Qian'er, have you been busy with the imperial examination recently?"
As soon as Li Chengqian finished saluting, the eldest grandson asked, Li Chengqian hurriedly got up and replied: "Yes, the imperial examination is a major event of the imperial court, and the ministers dare not be negligent. Why doesn't the queen mother see her descendants accompanying her today? ”
Li Chengqian saw that his eldest grandson was alone, so he asked.
The eldest grandson didn't answer Li Chengqian's question, but said, "Does Qian'er know about the duckweed courtyard?" ”
Li Chengqian was puzzled: "At the beginning of the year, the queen mother still brought her sons, I remember that it was a courtyard in the east city of Chang'an, how did the queen mother talk about this?" ”
The eldest grandson continued: "This courtyard was temporarily handed over to a Taoist priest named Ye Lin by the queen mother, and the courtyard must be a little barren if no one has been there for a long time, and some of the food and drink are lacking, Qian'er, you go and buy some home-cooked groceries, eat and drink, and send them to the duckweed courtyard, use this opportunity to make friends with that Taoist priest, it will help you in the future, you don't need to ask more, just do it."
"Yes, Queen Mother,"
Although Li Chengqian had doubts, he still followed the will of the eldest grandson to do it, duckweed courtyard, Li Chengqian vaguely remembered that this is a good courtyard under the name of the eldest grandson, located in the east of Chang'an City, away from the downtown area, is a good place to meditate and cultivate, the area is not small, and now this courtyard worth 10,000 gold was given to a Taoist priest, and as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he went to send things and befriended him? What kind of magical power does this Taoist priest have that can make his queen mother hide from the people in the palace and stop him alone?
Many questions came to Li Chengqian's mind, but one thing Li Chengqian was sure of was that his mother would never harm him, so when he saw the Taoist priest himself, everything came to light.
The eldest grandson came to the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin also checked the early dynasty's twists and turns on the copy, and saw the eldest grandson coming, Li Shimin was also surprised, generally speaking, the eldest grandson would not bother herself at this time, because she knew that she was correcting the folds at this time.
Li Shimin immediately asked, "But what happened?" ”
The eldest grandson said: "The concubine has something to say to Your Majesty, can Your Majesty ......?"
Before the eldest grandson finished speaking, Li Shimin immediately understood what she meant, and said, "Let's go down!" ”
When the words fell, only Li Shimin and the eldest grandson were left in the Taiji Palace, and Li Shimin asked, "Queen, what is the matter?" ”
The eldest grandson said: "Yesterday the concubine went to Qingyunguan"
"I know this, just for this? You should go to see Ziyun and Ziyi, I also feel indebted to them, and I have been looking for a chance to make up for it," Li Shimin said first.
The eldest grandson frowned and said, "Your Majesty, listen to the concubine."
"Okay, Guanyin, you sit down first and talk slowly," Li Shimin put down the fold in his hand and said.
The eldest grandson sat next to Li Shimin and said: "Yesterday the concubine went to Qingyunguan, Ziyun and Ziyi have already become Ye Lin's stinky Taoist people, and Ziyun's cold disease can't even help Sun Youwei, after the concubine knows, she let them move to the duckweed courtyard in Chang'an City, just now I asked Qian'er to buy something for them, that's it, the concubine finished speaking." ”
Li Shimin chewed the eldest grandson's words carefully, turned his head to look at the eldest grandson and said, "Guanyin, you are earlier than all of them in this move, and you are not the master of my harem!" If the prince had Ye Lin's help, he would probably be able to sit more steadily, but Guanyin, the stinky Taoist surnamed Ye is not easy to please. ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, the eldest grandson said again: "Your Majesty still doesn't understand the meaning of the concubine, what does Your Majesty think of Ye Lin?" ”
Li Shimin replied: "The genius of the world, in Chang'an, he said that there was civil strife in the Turks, so there was civil strife, and when he said that there was a locust plague, there was a locust plague. Expect things like God. Then he went to Chongzhou and defeated Cheng Biting Jin, the fierce fire oil he said has now been secretly collected by the Tang Dynasty Military Department, his method of making salt, so that the world has refined salt to eat, this pile one by one, are shocking moves, but unfortunately such a genius can not be used by me, this surname Ye's heart is like a silent stone, until now I have not found anything that makes him tempting! Is...... Alas! ”
Li Shimin sighed, if such a person can be used by himself, it is tantamount to a tiger with wings for Datang, but no matter what Li Shimin promised Ye Lin, he is not an official! Li Shimin was angry and helpless, but there was nothing he could do about Ye Lin.
The eldest grandson said slowly: "Your Majesty, Zi Yun and Zi Yi are already Ye Lin's people, they have only known each other for a few months, Ye Lin is a monk!" He still had sexual intercourse, which means that his cultivation allowed him to be close to women! His heart is not a stone, at least it is notched! ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he pondered for a long time, and then said happily: "Guanyin, do you mean that you can use women to make Ye Lin do things for the Tang Dynasty?" ”
The eldest grandson nodded, Li Shimin happily grabbed the eldest grandson's hand, and said excitedly: "It's not my queen, women, why didn't I expect that Ye Lin is a human being, and if he is a human being, he has seven emotions and six desires, he is not greedy for power, he is not in love with money, but he likes women!" Ha ha! ”
The eldest grandson made a mistake: "Your Majesty, the concubine just thought of this, but with Ye Lin's character, although she can be close to women, I am afraid that ordinary women will not be able to enter the eyes of this Taoist chief,"
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, beautiful women are hard to find, and let them marry a Taoist priest with a wife, I'm afraid that there is no one who will be willing." Alas! However, although this matter is difficult to do, it is not absolutely impossible, Rong Zhen thinks about it, if such a big material cannot be used by me, it will not be a big loss for Datang. ”
Since knowing Ye Lin's means of solving locusts, Li Shimin has made up his mind to use Ye Lin in the Tang Dynasty no matter what method he uses, Li Shimin is unwilling to let such a talent decline, he wants to conquer the Turks, to please Goryeo, to govern the Tang Dynasty, only with such a talent can he become a Ming Jun of the ages, and let his father, Emperor Taishang Li Yuan, know that there is nothing wrong with sitting in this position!
