Chapter 311: Splitting the Coffin and Dreaming
Li Jun slept in Daming Palace that night, as for Li Chengtang only secretly ran back in the middle of the night, Li Jun only didn't see it, and the next day when the rooster crowed, Li Chengchao ran to Daming Palace, because Li Jun was too tired yesterday, so Liu Hong didn't dare to wake up Li Jun, but just brought Li Chengchao to Li Chengtang's room.
Li Chengchao cried out with a "wow" when he saw Li Chengtang, Li Chengtang was very majestic as an eldest brother, and scolded angrily in a low voice: "Shut up, my father slept very late last night for your shit, but you can't disturb your father's rest." ”
"Big brother, I'm scared." Li Chengchao sobbed.
Li Chengtang patted Li Chengchao on the shoulder and said: "Manly man, don't be afraid of anything, go, go to the eldest brother's room first, see that your eyes are red, I guess I didn't sleep well last night, let's go and rest for a while." ”
Li Chengchao obediently followed Li Chengtang to the room.
When it was time for breakfast, Li Jun saw Li Chengchao, and Li Jun asked curiously, "Chao'er, why did you come here today?" ”
Li Chengchao said cautiously: "Father, the son doesn't want to live with the queen mother, last night the queen mother told the son about Zhuangzi's coffin splitting and dreaming, scared the son didn't sleep well all night, and this morning, the son ran out secretly. ”
Li Jun smiled when he heard this, first asked Liu Hong to inform Jin Shan'er not to worry, the child was here, and then asked Li Chengtang: "Tang'er, do you know this story?" ”
"Erchen knows."
"Oh, let's hear it."
"Father, Zhuangzi's wife is young, and he once made an appointment with Zhuangzi, I will never remarry after the monarch dies, and I will end up observing the festival. One day Zhuangzi entered the mountain, saw a woman was fanning the grave with a fan, and asked the reason, the woman said: I have an appointment with my deceased husband, and I can remarry when the soil of his grave is dry, and I waited for nine days, and the grave soil is still not dry, so I hold the fan and fan it, hoping that it will dry quickly! Zhuangzi remembered the agreement with his wife, and couldn't help but worry, but he died in three days, and Zhuangzi's wife was very sad, and she stayed in front of the coffin every day in grief...... There is the king of Chu outside the Zhuangzi gate, see that the Zhuangzi wife is young and beautiful, so he tempted him in every possible way, the Zhuangzi wife began to disobey, and then could not withstand the temptation of the king and grandson of Chu, and the king of Chu became a good thing, but two days like glue, the king and grandson of Chu have a heartache disease, non-human hearts for the medicine can not live, where is the rush of the people's hearts, Zhuangzi's wife tunnel: "The heart of the person who died for five days can be achieved?" "King Sun of Chu said: Good! That night, thunderstorms, strong winds, Zhuangzi's wife held a sharp axe to split the coffin, ready to pick the heart of Zhuangzi to Miao Chu Wang Sun heart disease...... The sharp axe split the coffin, the thunder and lightning swirled, the coffin was blown open, Zhuangzi got up and sat up, laughed and entered the rain without a trace, Zhuangzi's wife was ashamed, but looking back, she didn't see the king of Chu and the people of Chu, then I knew that what Chu Wangsun and what rich dream were just Zhuangzi's illusions, and he died with a sharp axe in ...... hurry."
Li Chengchao was already frightened into Li Jun's arms at this time, and when Li Chengtang finished speaking, Li Chengchao pleaded with Li Jun: "Father, the son doesn't want to marry a wife." ”
Looking at his stupid son, Li Jun couldn't help but complain to Jin Shan'er, what kind of person would tell these ghost stories to scare people.
Li Jun touched Li Chengchao's little head and said, "Actually, the fault of this matter lies with Zhuangzi, not with Zhuangzi's wife." ”
"Ah, why? Father, it is obvious that Zhuang's wife does not abide by women's morals. Li Chengtang asked puzzled.
Li Jun sighed and said: "The origin of the matter is Zhuangzi's distrust of his wife, and then there is the following thing, people's hearts are changeable, can not be tempted, there are more temptations, and there is no faith, Zhuangzi's wife is guarding the soul of Zhuangzi, and it is he who has conjured up a beautiful rich and noble boy." Is Zhuangzi at fault first, let me ask, before he tried it, did he ever have half of his trust in his wife? Being split into a coffin and plucking his heart is just his own fault, and it is also humiliating to say it. ”
Li Chengchao didn't understand much, but when he heard his father's explanation, he suddenly felt less terrible, and Li Chengtang on the side said like a little adult: "Father, the son understands what you mean, what you mean is that there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people." ”
"Haha, yes, that's the truth." Li Jun smiled very happily.
At this time, Li Chengchao raised his little face and asked, "Father, can the sons and daughters live in Daming Palace with their eldest brother these days?" ”
Li Jun replied with a pleasant face: "Yes, you and your eldest brother live in the same room, you are here for the past few days, you don't need to go anywhere, our father and son have a good time for a few days." ”
"Thank you, Father." The two children said excitedly.
After eating, Li Jun sent the two children to play by themselves, and Li Jun was going to give the two children a few days off in the past few days.
Li Jun went to the former dynasty, and after dealing with the affairs of the court, Li Jun went to Xiao Meier, Xiao Meier didn't know what happened recently, she fell in love with silkworm raising, and when Li Jun arrived, Xiao Meier was teasing her silkworm baby.
Li Jun smiled and said, "The queen is so interested." ”
Xiao Mei'er replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Tang Er and Chao'er have been in your palace these days, and they won't be noisy by them, so they came to hide here from the concubines." ”
"What? Doesn't the Queen want me to come over? Li Jun smiled bitterly.
Xiao Mei'er shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, no, it's just that the concubines will be very lively in this palace these days, and the concubines don't have time to serve you." ”
"Oh, is there anything I don't know?" Li Jun asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, the silkworms in the concubine's palace have matured and are now spinning silk." Xiao Meier said very proudly.
"Quick, take me to see." Li Jun hurriedly pulled Xiao Mei'er away, Li Jun was also very curious about this silkworm raising, he had only heard of it in later generations, but he had never seen it.
Xiao Meier took Li Jun to a cocoon mountain made of bamboo slices made of squares, and in each grid was placed a fat silkworm, these silkworms no longer eat, and began to move indiscriminately after being put into the cocoon mountain.
After the servants had carefully cleaned the houses seven or eight times, all of them became places for silkworms to spin silk, and as for the people, they all slept outside, waiting for these treasures to spin silk.
These servants in Xiao Meier's palace are all Koreans, who fled to the Tang Dynasty because of the war, these people are homeless, Xiao Meier felt that they were pitiful, so she brought them into the palace, and was responsible for raising silkworms and weaving silk.
The housekeeper here is called Wang Po, Xiao Meier's nurse, Wang Po has not slept for nearly two days for these silkworms, her voice is hoarse, and she reprimands people but shows no mercy, her prestige has been cultivated in the process of raising silkworms, and all the women are working in an orderly manner under her command.
Xiao Mei'er coughed dryly and said, "Mother Wang, come here." ”
Wang Po looked back and saw that Li Jun was also there, and hurriedly saluted Li Jun and said, "The old slave sees Your Majesty." ”
Li Jun said with a pleasant face: "Haha, you go get busy first, I won't disturb you, just take a look on the side." ”
"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, this is the second time these silkworms have spun silk, and everyone has experience......" Before Wang Po finished speaking, a surprised voice came from the silkworm room: "Start spinning silk." ”
Hearing this, Wang Po was not calm, she sued Li Jun, and left quickly, Li Jun said to Xiao Meier: "Let's go, let's go and see the excitement too." ”
Walking into the largest silkworm room, I was immediately shocked by the scene in front of me, and as far as the eye could see, the whole room was full of silkworm heads shaking in a figure-eight shape, and silk that was almost invisible to the naked eye was spit out and glued to the cocoon mountain.
Wang Po sat proudly on the floor, looking at the silkworms in front of her, with indescribable tenderness in her eyes, now she is the king here!
Li Jun and Xiao Meier didn't want to disturb the happy moment of Wang Po, so they quietly withdrew, and the two made a pot of tea and drank it outside the gazebo outside the silkworm room, and after less than half an hour, Wang Po came out.
Xiao Mei'er waved her hand, and Wang Po ran over, Li Jun asked with a smile, "How much silk can the silkworm produce this time?" ”
"Your Majesty, no less than ten thousand bunches." Wang Po replied proudly.
Li Jun calculated that 10,000 bundles of silk were worth 100 gold coins, and 100 gold coins could feed more than 100 households.
This output surprised Li Jun very much, and Li Jun personally poured a cup of tea for Wang Po and said: "Wang Po, drink it, this cup of tea is my royal patriarch to thank you for your contribution to the royal family." ”
The princess drank it all, then knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." ”
