0354 Elect the West Garden, bravely return to the capital
In late January, Li Shouli's marriage was held as scheduled. For this reason, the forbidden middle school sent hundreds of palace people and gave a lot of gifts, and the imperial court also sent a Wupinjing official to know the guest and preside over the wedding, so this wedding was also very lively, so that the two families were very face-saving.
Perhaps because the empress showed a lot of attention to this marriage, coupled with the tense atmosphere in the capital now, Shiliu also needed one or two relaxed and lively things to adjust his mood, so there were many people who came to congratulate him.
However, there is also a strange phenomenon in this, that is, among the many guests, there are not many people from Guanlong. Even if there were some, they were mostly on the side of the Dugu clan of the opposite door, but they did not come to the palace of the king of the letter workshop.
The reason why this is the case is naturally that everyone in Guanlong is already in danger at the moment, and they are worried that the imperial court will use the Dou clan as a breakthrough to carry out another large-scale inventory and cleansing.
The second is that the empress adopted the Yang family girl in the ban, and this news also spread within a certain range, making Shi Liu realize that His Majesty the Holy Emperor may not want her grandson to have too much to do with the Guanlong family.
For example, Lao Doulu, who was full of interest and expressed his greed for Li Tong before, simply pretended not to know about it this time. Even the Dugu family, which had an in-law relationship with the Doulu family, did not send the children of the disciples to Daohe.
But this does not mean that the residence of the Fulfillment Workshop is deserted and unattended, on the contrary, it is much more lively.
Young people such as Zhang Shuo and Li Siwen, who already had a close relationship with the royal palace, spent almost all day in the palace a few days before the wedding to obey orders.
Older people, Li Qiao, who had not long returned to the capital, and other Li Tong's literary friends, although they did not roll up their sleeves to help, also held literary meetings in the West Garden of the palace all day long.
At present, it is still in the middle of the winter selection month, Li Qiao, Cui Rong and others are already very famous, and they gather in the capital to get married, and the followers naturally gather. Moreover, Li Tong's own poems and essays have been praised by the current of the times as quite enlightened, and he has also accumulated a considerable number of fans over the years.
Therefore, in the second half of the first month, the most lively place where scholars gather in the capital, in addition to the selection of the courtyard of the Ministry of Heavenly Officials, will be the first to recommend the residence of the king of Xinfang.
Of course, these people are just making a gesture, or they have to eat and drink a few meals, take poems and scrolls to make congratulatory gifts, and they also have to deliberately interfere. It must be known that even Liu Youqiu, a person who has already obtained the Jinshi background, only made two urns of pickles as a gift when he first came to the door.
Entering Beijing to run for election should already cost a lot of money and food, such as Chen Ziang's family background of the old man, which is one of the few in the world. Now there is a place with beautiful scenery, food, drink and merriment, and it may also be appreciated by the great people, and the electors naturally flock to it like crazy.
Seeing that the court was like a city, Li Tong couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thanks to his grandmother who was also a decent person, and had just awarded his second brother as the secretary of the kitchen.
Sishan Temple is in charge of delicacies, good brewing, now the temple official wedding if there is still a lack of food and drink, it is really a big joke in the world, so those temple officials do not dare to slack off, delicious and delicious flowing water is generally sent to the palace.
Li Tong had planned to do a big job in this year's winter fair, but now that a large number of electors are pouring into the door, it is really a joy to enter Pingkangfang, and he is very happy.
The list on his small book continued to be extended, and some of the characters he felt needed to be focused on were also selected, and he instructed Wei Suizhong and Tian Dasheng and others, who had secretly organized the personnel superficially, to arrange for people to investigate the background, character, and so on, so that they could be used only when necessary.
He didn't shy away from doing these things, which should have been his grandmother's acquiescence. Moreover, these electors seem to be numerous, but at present, including for a long time in the future, they are destined to only hold lowly positions below the sixth grade, which will have little impact on the real upper-level government structure.
However, it made Li Tong feel more regretful that although there were many people entering his mansion, there were not many people who were really well-known.
However, this does not mean that all these people are waste, it must be known that the entire official system inside and outside the court is as many as tens of thousands, and some of them will be famous for what deeds they have done by chance, but more people may not have such opportunities.
It is true that those who can leave their names behind, whether they are virtuous or foolish, loyal or treacherous, have their merits, but those who are lonely and nameless may not be able to catch them, and naturally there are quite a few who only lack opportunities.
In the past, Li Tong did not have the conditions for this kind of audition, and the efficiency of fishing for pearls in the sea was too low, but now he can do it, and he is naturally happy to do it, hoping to dig out a group of talents through his own hands, rather than just collecting cards according to the memory of the history books.
Of course, to be able to obtain these calmness, he has also passed the tests of his grandmother, large and small, in all aspects, and there will definitely be such tests in the future, but they are not worth fearing, it is nothing more than a trick.
At the moment, everything is still being created, but in time, who can guarantee that his West Garden scholars will not be the most capable group in the court?
In addition to these electors, who are still silent and uneducated, they come to have fun, and there are also many friendly expressions made by people in the current situation.
For example, Li Siwen, who served as the commander of Yongchang County in the old year, and his father Li Jingyi, came to congratulate him in person. Li Jingyi now lives in Sima, Luozhou, and his brother Li Yuan is one of the prime ministers who were demoted a few years ago, but the amnesty in January and the amnesty of the old prime ministers have been recovering one after another, and they want to return to the dynasty not far away. This family is also the closest family to Li Tong in Chaoxianzong.
Wei Yuanzhong, who had just returned to the dynasty, also sent his nephew to congratulate him, which made Li Tong breathe a sigh of relief. At least Wei Yuanzhong should not have continued to sue him for black affairs, but he still deliberately put away and stored the Wei family's congratulatory gifts separately, and he really wanted to surprise Wei Yuanzhong because of his guilt.
There is also the young son of Prime Minister Yao Xuan, who was selected as He Lang to greet his relatives. It can be seen that these Jiangnan people have also noticed the existence of Li Tong's family, otherwise with Yao Xuan's official residence in Luantai, they would not let their son rub this heat.
As for Zheng Gao, the heavenly official who has been busy with friendship recently, because the month has not passed, he is still in the blockade period of daily communication, but he still sends his family to send a lot of congratulatory gifts.
In addition, although there is no leader in Guan Longxun to congratulate, but now Guan Long, the big tigers have been beaten to the ground, and their own small circle is also extremely unstable.
For example, Li Tong, Zuo Huan, Yanfan, Wang Renjiao, and even his father-in-law, Tang Xiuzhong's family, are actually members of the middle and lower ranks or peripheral members of Guanlong, and the communicative restraint of those big clans on their behavior has already become almost none.
But among the many greeting guests, the most surprising thing for Li Tong was a group of people from Longxi, who were part of the group of daring warriors sent to Heyuan years ago.
These people did not go directly to the palace, but followed the guidance of Xijing Suyo and directly stayed in the Xiushanfang Mansion near Nanshi. Of course, not long after, Tian Dasheng received the news and introduced them into the royal residence among the merchants of Nanshi who had entered the palace.
Knowing that this group of people had entered the Shendu, Li Tong was also pleasantly surprised, pushed aside all kinds of other entertainment, and met Li Ge in the mansion.
This young man is already brave, Longshang has been training for more than half a year, his skin is even darker, although he is wearing a round-necked robe, but he is bulging on his body, looking full of fierceness, Li Tong also sighed after seeing this: "It is worthy of being my mighty and daring warrior!" ”
After entering Long, after several bloody battles, Liu Youqiu gradually revealed Li Tong's true identity to these brave soldiers, if such a group of righteous and enthusiastic righteous warriors who went to the border generously were not credible, then no one in the world would be trustworthy.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Li Ge entered the palace, but after seeing their head with his own eyes, he still seemed a little reserved, kneeling on the ground and shouting: "My subordinates meet Lang, Lord Lang...... King! ”
"It's still the old man in front of me, but the affection is deeper, just like the old state, no need to be formal!"
Li Tong stepped forward, helped Li Ge up, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, all the things you have experienced after entering Longlong, although there are books, after all, it is better to be detailed and detailed in oral description." ”
Li Ge saw that Lord Lang was still so kind, and the restraint in his heart gradually disappeared, so he spoke carefully. After their group of daring warriors entered Long, everything was not smooth sailing, and all kinds of water and soil were not adapted and personnel were difficult.
Longbian Benduo is in custody of the state, all kinds of miscellaneous places, coupled with the intentional teasing of Tubo, it can almost be said that there is no fight every day. Although Liu Youqiu has the care of the nearest people, Liu Youqiu has recently joined the company, and there are not many government forces that can be mobilized, and many crises still depend on these daring soldiers to deal with them by themselves.
However, this situation improved with the entry of the Black Tooth Tsuneki into the Heyuan Army.
The prestige of the black tooth Changzhi was first established in the west, returning to his hometown, and was responsible for creating a good external conditions for the Anxi war, and the Heyuan army was not strong enough after being transferred to Anxi to participate in the war, so it also paid attention to the integration of various city and fetter tribal forces.
In such a situation, the daring warriors, who were all composed of fierce soldiers, naturally attracted the attention of the black tooth Changzhi. If it is in the interior of Middle-earth, such a group of elite soldiers will naturally arouse vigilance. But in the Longbian of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, it is not too dazzling.
Moreover, these daring warriors themselves still had a layer of cover from Tuyuhun Murong Kang, so they soon joined the Heyuan Army and became a peripheral city, and performed well in the war that harassed the inner region of Tubo, and even directly destroyed the accounts of two Tubo theorists.
"This time I entered Beijing to offer gold and silverware, mainly because of the results of these two wars. The Tibetan realm is really cold and barren, but those rich tents are salivating! ”
Speaking of all kinds of war gains, Li Ge couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, groped with his hands behind his waist, took out two semi-circles, inlaid with gold and jade, and put them on the desk, and said with a smile: "Those utensils that have been sacrificed, Lord Lang can check himself later." But these two beautiful weapons, the subordinates must personally dedicate them to the lord of Lang! ”
Seeing this, Li Tong picked up the lacquerware with great interest, held it in his hand quite heavy, and after looking at it for a while, he smiled and said: "This utensil is very chic, like a human ......."
Speaking of this, his voice suddenly paused, and Li Ge on the other side laughed and said: "Lord Lang is really good eyesight, this is exactly the head weapon of those two commentators!" Beaten with Tibetan soil skills, grinding and inlay, how can ordinary people recognize it at a glance! ”
Hearing this, Li Tong laughed dryly, put the lacquerware back on the table, wiped his hands and said, "It's very good, I will definitely treasure it." ”
