Chapter 33: Do Stones Give Birth to Monkeys?
It's so difficult to tell a story, there is no way, you have to pay attention to every detail, so as not to get into trouble.
It is necessary to avoid all kinds of imperial taboos, and also to avoid historical settings that can have a relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
Straightening out his thoughts, Chen Fang began to speak at this time, Princess Anding listened to it, and gradually became fascinated, staring at Chen Fang, as if to say, you continue to speak, it's really interesting.
After talking for a while, Princess Anding unconsciously put her arms on the table next to her, supported her chin with her elbows, and approached Chen Fang slightly.
Obviously fascinated by what he heard, Chen Fang had already talked about the stone monkey and a group of monkeys from Huaguo Mountain who had discovered the water curtain cave under the waterfall.
"Chen Aiqing, you said those monkeys can fly!"
"It's not really flying, it's just climbing the clouds!"
"So what's really flying?"
"Your Highness, the real fly will be talked about later."
"Oh, Your Highness, the time has come, it's time for Weichen to go and prepare a meal for Your Majesty!"
"Well, there you go! I'll be back tomorrow! ”
Chen Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally found a reason to leave at this time, but he was sure that he would come tomorrow, and tomorrow would be another difficult day.
This girl won't be addicted to listening, she will come in the future! Lying down, Chen Fang instantly felt that his head was extremely big.
Okay, let's settle tomorrow's business tomorrow!
Chen Fang left the residence, while Princess Anding walked thoughtfully towards her residence.
"Monkeys grow out of stones, and monkeys can fly?"
Princess Anding was thinking about what Chen Fang had told her at this time, and she couldn't help but be a little biased.
Smack, Princess Anding just entered her palace, she didn't pay attention, she was hit directly, and she almost knocked down.
"Stability, how can you walk without looking!"
"Ah, Brother Huang, why did you come to me?"
The person Princess Anding bumped into was none other than her brother, Li Hong, the crown prince of the dynasty, who was the eldest son of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi.
However, among Li Zhi's sons, he can only rank fifth and fifth in terms of age. Because the sons older than Li Hong are all concubines, and Li Hong is the queen's own son, so he was made the crown prince.
There is no way, in this era, the son is more precious than the mother, and the concubine is only one word different, but the fate in the future is completely different. One is on Jiuding, and the other is at most a prince with the same surname.
Datang is an era that attaches great importance to blood kinship, and the so-called gate valve politics has been vividly interpreted in this era.
The nobles of the gate valve, the magnates of Longxi, the five surnames and seven wangs, and the upstarts of the Tang Dynasty, this is the small group of people at the top of the pyramid of this era.
In the royal family, it is also a son, and the girl of Linxing Palace is definitely different from the queen's own child. The concubines and queens are also different.
And among the concubines, the princes born to different families are different.
This is the blood and the family, and the family is the absolute mainstream of this era.
And Wu Meiniang's family is also not low-status, her father Wu Shitong is the governor of Jingzhou, worships the Ministry of Works, and is the Duke of Yingguo.
At that time, the Li clan of Longxi, with five surnames and seven wangs, raised troops in Taiyuan, and Wu Shi Tong was the first wave of people who funded Li Yuan's army.
The founding hero, the upstart of the Tang Dynasty, and the person who founded the country from the dragon. After Li Yuan's death, Wu Shitong was also sad in his heart, and died of illness in office.
"Anding, can't I come to you?"
"Of course not, the imperial brother can come to see Anding, it's too late to be happy with Anding!"
"Look at your mind in a trance, what were you thinking just now? If you want anything, the royal brother will send someone to find it for you! ”
is also Wu Meiniang's biological son, and one is a son and the other is a daughter, naturally there will be no fight in the future, and the relationship is excellent at this time.
Moreover, the battle for succession in the palace itself in this era is not as strong as that of later generations, and the political pattern similar to that of the Qing Dynasty mastiff has not yet been formed, which can be said to be quite peaceful.
"I don't want anything, by the way, is there anything wrong with the imperial brother coming to settle here?"
"It's nothing, I just want you and Taiping, come and have a look."
"Oh!"
"By the way, Taiping just said that she wanted to go boating in the lake, will you go?"
"Ah, it's so cold, it's windy by the lake, be careful of catching a cold!"
"I also persuaded Taiping to do the same, she has to go, I think I'd better go with it! That girl is always troubled when no one follows her. ”
"Then I'll go too! Brother Huang, wait for me! ”
Behind the palace group of Taiji Palace, there is a huge royal garden, and after the Linhu Palace, the cool autumn breeze carries the water vapor to the face.
As far as the eye can see, the West Sea, the South China Sea, and the North Sea are sparkling at this time, and the breeze blows out layers of fine waves.
At this time, Li Hong put a fox fur coat for Taiping, and took another one, where Anding took it from his brother.
On board the pleasure boat, there were already boatmen pretended to be soldiers of the forbidden army to drive the boat, and the boat broke through the thin waves and slowly moved towards the lake. The silver waves shimmered in the autumn sun, and Tai ran to the bow of the boat early and was hugged by Li Hong, who was worried about her safety.
"Taiping, don't run around, this bow is bumpy, go back quickly."
Li Hong pulled his sister, but saw that An Ding was a little distracted at this time.
"Sister, what are you thinking?"
Settle down and wander, at this time, even Taiping was aware of it.
"Brother and sister, do you say that there is a stone in this world that can give birth to monkeys?"
"Silly sister, how can a stone give birth to a monkey!"
"Sister, where can the stones give birth to monkeys, take me to see them."
"What Chen Aiqing said, I don't know where it is!"
"Is it Chen Fang?"
"Well, he used to be on duty in Honglu Temple, so he should have listened to some envoys."
Chen Fang was busy with the emperor's lunch at this time, where would he have thought that An Ding would take his story seriously. It was also told to the crown prince and Princess Taiping.
In the afternoon, I went to the Yeting Palace, and sure enough, the oil mill recruited all the people it needed. There were eight healthy women and six soldiers.
Knowing that Chen Fang was coming, Meng Fei recruited people together early and stood in front of Chen Fang for men and women.
Chen Fang looked at the eight healthy women, all of whom were older, ranging from twenty-seven to thirty years old.
In this era when you can get married and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, twenty-seven or eighteen are absolutely older women. Wu Meiniang entered the palace at the age of fourteen, and as a result, she and Li Zhi immediately looked at each other, if it weren't for this, the children would not have been so old.
Chen Fang looked at these healthy women, all of them were very strong, and I had to say that the food in the palace was good, even if they were the relatives of the criminal courtiers, they were never hungry.
These tigers must have a lot of strength to work. The person Meng Fei was looking for was very much in line with Chen Fang's mind.
And those six soldiers, in strict accordance with Chen Fang's requirements, have strong bodies, and can kill a monster with one punch.
Chen Fang is very satisfied, the people have been recruited, and Chen Fang's plan can begin.
What Chen Fang wants to do is naturally to replace the toothpaste for brushing his teeth with coarse salt. Brushing his teeth with coarse salt these days really made Chen Fang unbearable. Chen Fang can dream of brushing his teeth with Chinese.
