Chapter 117 [Leave a way back, but you don't]... 1 more
Time flies, it is half a moon again, the first day of spring has passed, and it is Shangyuan in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, suddenly came to visit.
He had been in the East Palace Prince's Mansion for many days.
Tonight is the night of Shangyuan, the folk is also called the Lantern Festival, Taoism has the "three yuan" said, Buddhism has the "lamp" for the Buddha, and since the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor has the tradition of sacrificing Taiyi.
So this is a big festival, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will rest.
Xiu Mu means paid vacation, and the ancients had much more conscience than the '996' of later generations.
Although Datang has just been established not long ago, it attaches great importance to the officials' rest, such as the winter solstice, which gives a seven-day holiday at once, and after the winter solstice long holiday, it then ushers in the first day of the spring year, and it is a seven-day paid holiday.
Wait until the seven-day long holiday of the Yuan Day passes, and only the seven days of the Shangchao Dynasty are rested, and the Festival of the Yuan Dynasty is seven days again.
For three consecutive Golden Weeks, all of them were paid holidays, and the officials were not tired at all, and the people also benefited. Why? Because in the Tang Dynasty, officials were the main consumers.
Official, from a family.
Those who are in the family should have the best face.
Compared with this Shangyuan Festival, the city has to set off Chinese lanterns (this is a clear record of history), and the Chinese lanterns are quite painstaking to make, and the family itself must not have the time to get it, even if it will be done, it is only the interest of the female dependents.
But the family wants to show their financial resources with great fanfare, and they can't make a few lamps just by the interest of the female dependents, so they will buy them.
This time is the festival of happiness for the entire people of Chang'an.
As long as a batch of bamboo is saved early last year, it can be cut into bamboo strips to make all kinds of lanterns, the process is not complicated, the mind is ingenious, and even the children at home can help paste the lanterns, and they can earn four or five copper plates for a day's labor, whether it is to buy food and drink, or to pull a piece of cloth for the family to make clothes, it is very good.
And the family of the Tang Dynasty is also stingy with money on this day, and will spend a lot of money in order to gain a reputation.
In particular, the homes of those officials had to set off lanterns as a ceremony, so they fed many, many people, which is probably the reason why the dynasties were willing to take a holiday.
Therefore, the entire Shangyuan Festival is a day for officials to enjoy rest, and how happy it is to enjoy leisurely bathing.
It's a pity that although the officials are leisurely, Datang still has people who work hard.
For example, the crown prince Li Jiancheng.
Today's Shangyuan Night, the city is full of swimming, even ordinary people in Chang'an, this night will relax and come out for a walk, but only Li Jiancheng, he is still nesting in the room to review the documents.
Under such circumstances, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, suddenly came to the door.
Although this product was named a prince, but it was full of inferiority in his bones, he was not polite when he came to visit, and he was not even willing to wait for the porter to help him report.
He broke directly into Li Jiancheng's study, and after entering the door, he first let out a wild laugh.
At this time, Li Jiancheng was reviewing a document, but Li Yuanji snatched the brush and threw it away, and said with a smile: "Big brother, let's go, today's Shangyuan Night, let's go shopping, the city is full of lights outside, and even ordinary people are wandering, but you, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, are hiding at home to review the documents!" ”
While talking, he dragged Li Jiancheng out, and shouted again: "I have chartered Chang'an Baiyue Tower, I want to have a poetry meeting tonight, my eldest brother will go with me, fight poetry and tea with the family Wenru, and enjoy the song and dance by the way, this music is really the best in the world, hahaha......"
Li Jiancheng was a little helpless by him, and it took a lot of effort to break free, and said, "Go ahead, I'm very busy for my brother." It's snowing heavily in Hebei, and I have to find a way to get some food. ”
These words suddenly made Li Yuanji frown, and said unhappily: "Hebei again?" ”
Suddenly, he snorted coldly, and said extremely dissatisfied: "That place is poor, it belongs to the bottomless pit of dissatisfaction, it suffers disasters every year, and it needs relief every year, if you want me to say that I just throw away that place, don't ask for it, lest the relief will be cheap for outsiders......"
He said this with a deep sense of unhappiness.
Li Jiancheng glanced at him, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Not happy? ”
But seeing that Li Yuanji snorted coldly again, he said: "A while ago, I sent a bird to the third sister, and I wanted her to release her words to stand on our side, but the third sister didn't say anything, but the poor boy replied with a letter, only six words, which made me very angry, he actually said, it is inconvenient for the foreign surname to interfere, did I find him to do something?" I'm looking for my third sister, what I want is the third sister's women's army to help us, what is his cousin of Princess Shang, he dares to make his own opinion, and reply to my third sister's letter......"
He seemed to be getting angrier and angrier the more he spoke, gritted his teeth suddenly, and said, "A poor boy, leaning on my third sister, doesn't he want to develop Hebei?" Then let him develop by himself. Big brother, don't worry about Gu Hebei's affairs anymore, this heavy snow just made him starve to death over there, and when the time comes, let him understand what kind of thing he is a poor mud leg. ”
Li Jiancheng sighed, shook his head and said, "Even if you are dissatisfied with people, the people of Hebei are innocent. Yuanji, you tell me the truth, are you really dissatisfied with him? I'm afraid you're dissatisfied with your third sister. ”
Li Yuanji's face was obviously stiff.
The creature seemed to be embarrassed, but soon disappeared without a trace, and said loudly: "Yes, I am just dissatisfied with her." She has an army of 200,000 people, why won't she come forward to help us? If she joins, how can the second child have the advantage. I can't figure this out......"
Li Jiancheng glanced at him and suddenly said, "Don't shout from the second brother, the people of the world are your second brother after all." ”
Who knew that Li Yuanji smiled fiercely and said, "I want to kill this second brother." ”
He suddenly looked at Li Jiancheng and said excitedly: "Big brother, do you know, I just returned from the palace, I gave a lot of generous gifts this time, the concubines have already made a choice, they will continue to blow the wind to their father, and the second child's life will definitely be getting worse and worse." ”
Li Jiancheng's eyes were deep, and he suddenly said: "Those generous gifts you gave were all given by those 'friends', right?" ”
Sure enough, Li Yuanji laughed, and said proudly: "The family is really kind-hearted, and never let me lack money, as long as I say a little bit, I will immediately have a large amount of gold and silver treasures." ”
Li Jiancheng's face was unwavering, as if he had already known about this kind of thing, he just asked slowly, stared at Li Yuanji and said, "Recently, how much money have you sent to the palace?" ”
"300,000 times!" Li Yuanji did not hesitate, and stretched out three fingers with an excited face.
I only heard this product laugh and said: "Last time we sent out 50,000 gold and silver orbs, those concubines have already helped us blow the pillow wind, only a few days of effort, let the father and emperor issue a decree to reprimand the second child, and also cut off the right of Tiance Mansion to buy its own subordinate officials, and reduced the second child's 30,000 households to 10,000, so we strike while the iron is hot, this time directly send 300,000, those concubines must work together, the second child's life must be more and more difficult, haha, hahaha......"
Li Jiancheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly asked, "You talk to the eldest brother, what do you want to achieve by sending money this time?" ”
Li Yuanji's eyes suddenly turned ruthless, and he said in a calm tone: "Transfer the second child back to Beijing." ”
Li Jiancheng's body shook undetectably.
I only heard Li Yuanji Senran say again: "This is the strategy of the head of the Wang family, which can be called a stroke of genius." Why is he so domineering? It's because he sits in Luoyang and is uncontrollable, as long as we get him back to Chang'an, he will become a tiger with teeth removed...... Is a toothless tiger still a tiger? It's not even as good as a Shiba dog on the street. ”
Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed sharply, and he said: "You get him back to Chang'an, who will be responsible for the Jiangnan counterinsurgency?" ”
Li Yuanji smiled proudly and said disdainfully: "He's very capable of fighting, isn't he?" I'm also very good at fighting! It's just a rebellion of Fu Gongyou, and I can sweep it away with my soldiers and horses. ”
This thing is not bragging this time.
The Li brothers and sisters are indeed the dragon and phoenix among the people, although Li Yuanji has a brutal temperament, he is indeed a rare fierce general.
This thing will capture the flag in battle, and countless enemies have died in his hands, and they are all heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and any one of them is a character. However, they were all killed by Li Yuanji, and it was still the kind of death that was directly beheaded in the army.
Li Jiancheng suddenly sighed and said, "Fourth brother, it seems that we are really going to win." ”
Li Yuanji laughed when he arrived, and said with excitement on his face: "How can you not win?" It's a win. As long as the second child is brought back to Chang'an, his Tiance Mansion whip is beyond his reach, although the second child is the first prince, but according to the law, he can only be equipped with 3,000 armor, that is to say, he can only bring 3,000 soldiers back to Chang'an, and your prince's guard rate is now 200,000. ”
Li Jiancheng's face was a little strange, as if he couldn't bear to watch Li Yuanji come to the end, and finally said with a point: "Although there are 200,000 guards in the East Palace, 180,000 of them are soldiers of the family. Fourth brother, that's a soldier of the family......"
Who knew that Li Yuanji didn't think deeply at all, but laughed again and said: "So, the family is all friends, and they are all friends. ”
Li Jiancheng looked at him with straight eyes, as if he wanted to remember the voice and appearance of this younger brother, and after a long time, Li Jiancheng suddenly spoke, saying, "Let your daughter-in-law Yang, go to Hebei for a trip." ”
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "What is she doing in Hebei?" ”
Li Jiancheng picked up a letter from the table casually and said: "Your third sister wrote a letter to her, saying that she is pregnant, although she will give birth to a relative and nephew in the future, but your third sister is from our Li family after all, originally I wanted you to go to Hebei, but you have a grudge against your third sister in your heart, since this is the case, let your daughter-in-law go, she is the concubine of the king of Qi and can represent the palace ......of the king of Qi."
Li Jiancheng paused as he spoke, suddenly glanced at Li Yuanji for some reason, looked at Li Yuanji and said: "This time I am going to visit your third sister, and at the same time, I am also going to visit Gu Tianya, after all, he is your third brother-in-law." ”
He paused again, his tone became even more strange, and he said softly: "You don't want to recognize this relative, but your wife can go and recognize this relative." ”
This is to leave a way back for Li Yuanji's Qi Palace.
