Chapter 1565: Family Affection
The conditions sound a little scary......
What kind of existence does the "Hundred Riders" have? Your Majesty's eyes, ears, and minions! Being targeted by the "Hundred Cavalry Division" and being caught and disposed of is equivalent to entering the eyes of His Majesty, ordinary businessmen will tremble as long as they think about it, and they will be scared to death!
However, the nature of businessmen is profit-seeking, and they have always been willing to take risks in the face of profits...... Besides, as long as you obediently manage paper and books and do not increase the price privately, presumably His Majesty the Emperor only has a reward, so how can he punish him for no reason?
At that moment, the businessmen who were frightened by the name of "Hundred Riders" quickly made a decision......
"We are all the people of Datang, and it is the duty of our generation to revitalize Datang culture, and it is incumbent on us!"
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and it is the glory of our generation to be able to do your part for the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of King Wei!"
"I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty and die for myself!"
……
At present, any danger can be ignored.
The old man was very satisfied, and said: "Even so, the day after tomorrow, I will invite you to come to the dock and sign a contract to join the Datang Cultural Promotion Association." It's not early today, the big guys will be scattered, and the old man still has to unload these papers into the warehouse, so I won't bother you. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
"We will come then."
"Farewell."
The merchants took their leave, and returned to their lodgings with great interest, considering what low-priced goods they would buy after signing the contract, and how much profit they would be able to generate after they were shipped back......
Li Tai's face was gloomy, and when he saw that everyone was slowly dispersed, he also led the guards to leave.
He was in no mood to continue shopping, and for some reason a Rausch "president" title came out, which made him feel a little confused......
Back at the post station, after washing, I simply had dinner, and then I closed my clothes and lay down, but I didn't feel sleepy at all, my eyes stared at the beams, and my heart was full of thoughts.
Preaching and dispelling doubts and educating the world is the most sacred yearning in the hearts of every reader, even if this yearning will be tarnished and hidden by fame and fortune many times, it will never disappear.
Li Tai is also a reader.
Maybe the poetry and songs can't compare to Fang Jun, but the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism, Li Tai is confident that he is not only stronger than Fang Jun, even if he is a Confucian in the world, he must bow down.
The military generals will immediately fight the world, after all, they still have to rule the world under the civilian officials, although the Tang Dynasty has a strong martial style, but in the final analysis, this world is still governed by civilian officials. If you can become the president of this "Datang Cultural Promotion Association", it is equivalent to shouldering the heavy responsibility of educating the world, and naturally standing on the commanding heights of the world's scholars, leading the group, fame, and real power.
Listening to the old man's words, this matter is not like boasting, but how could my father agree to let him occupy such an important position?
As the leader of the scribes in the world, he has influence on the court, could it be that his father is dissatisfied with the crown prince and wants to train himself to replace him......
For a while, Li Tai was excited, apprehensive, and confused, looking at Fang Liang and sleepless all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Tai, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, yawned for a while, hastily cleaned up and had breakfast, and then went into the city to report to His Majesty Li Er.
*****
The soldiers out of the city gate are still under martial law, to the point that it is not strictly forbidden to enter and leave the city, and the knowledge is several times stricter than usual, but all the soldiers who look dangerous and unpleasant are forbidden to enter and exit, causing a lot of complaints inside and outside the city gate......
Li Tai led a group of guards to the city gate, ordered the leader of the guards to hand over the letter, the guards saw it, quickly got out of the way, and then knelt on one knee and shouted: "Meet His Royal Highness the King of Wei......"
Li Tai bowed his head slightly and rode his horse into the city.
His Royal Highness the King of Wei, who was arrogant and domineering in the past, has been tempered by the war and frost in the Western Regions, and has also gained a little more rare stability......
At the gate of Taiji Palace, there was already a waiter who had received the news of King Wei's return to Beijing, and when he saw King Wei riding from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
It's just that when they got closer, they were stunned again......
Is this still the white, tender and fat His Royal Highness the King of Wei in the past?
In the past, the white and tender face was stained with wind and frost, the skin was a lot darker, the fat body was thin, and he sat upright on the horse, without that unruly publicity, but with more calm and heaviness, between the looks of anticipation, his eyes were sharp and compelling......
The attendants were shocked, what kind of hellish place is it in the Western Regions, actually tossing His Royal Highness the white and chubby King Wei like this.
If you want to come back white and fat again, you have to put some effort into it......
Li Tai turned over and dismounted with a sturdy body, handed the reins to the guards beside him, and strode into Chengtianmen.
The red wall and tiles, golden and brilliant, a strong and heavy imperial atmosphere is coming!
Li Tai sighed slightly, after a long absence, it was like a dream, and he returned to this majestic Taiji Palace again, since it was like a world away......
There was an attendant in front of him to guide the way, and he went straight to the Shujing Palace.
Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, for some reason, when he just passed by the Taiji Palace, he looked at the majestic roof of the palace, and actually felt a little depressed......
Could it be that after galloping on horseback in the Western Regions for a long time, he can't stand such a life like a captivity?
Thinking of this, I thought of the young slave who had been imprisoned by my father, and sighed slightly in my heart......
In the Shujing Palace, the doors and windows are open, as soon as Li Taifu steps inside, he smells a fragrant and timeless fragrance of tea, and his eyes follow the open window, you can see the rippling lake behind the palace, as well as the green lotus and white birds on the lake.
In the hall, a Persian carpet is spread in the middle of the polished floor, and a set of tea sets and a few delicate snacks are placed on a low table.
His Majesty Li Er sat behind a short table, and a pair of tigers looked at their sons who had returned from the expedition, with a smile of relief on their faces.
Princess Changle, dressed in purple palace clothes, bowed down and said softly: "My sister welcomes my brother's triumphant return!" ”
Li Tai shook his sleeves and returned the salute with a smile: "Thank you, sister... I haven't seen him for a long time, but my sister is becoming more and more beautiful, and I am very pleased with my brother. ”
Princess Changle pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were gentle: "Is the fourth brother making fun of my sister?" ”
Li Tai smiled: "There is no falsehood in what I say from the bottom of my heart. ”
After a few words of laughter with Princess Changle, he faced His Majesty Li Er, bowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Erchen was ordered by the emperor to conquer the traitors in the Western Regions, fortunately not dishonored, and returned to Beijing today to meet his father." ”
His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand with a smile, pulled Li Tai up, let him sit in front of him, looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "It's dark, and I'm thin, but my spirit looks fuller, and the jade can't be cut. ”
Li Tai said with a smile: "Father and Emperor have praised it, it is true that the expedition of thousands of miles is true, but where is the blood and fire of swords, guns, and fire?" The British duke tied his retainers to his side like babies all day long, let alone charged, even if he looked at the battlefield from afar. Erchen, who is black and thin, has nothing to do with fighting, but because he gallops his horse every day. The Western Regions are vast, the grasslands are everywhere in the Gobi, and whenever the horses gallop, I feel that the sky is high and the earth is wide and the heart is comfortable...... By the way, Erchen knew that his father loved horses, so he collected a batch of Dawan good horses, each of which was abnormal, and sent it back to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and his father saw if he was satisfied. ”
Saying that, he turned back to Princess Changle and said: "For my brother, I also found a jujube red sweat horse for my sister, which is worth a lot of money, and my sister rode outside the city when she had nothing to do, but don't stay in the palace all day, you should go out to breathe more, which is good for your body and mind." ”
Princess Changle was quite interested and asked, "But it's a purebred?" ”
Sweat and blood horses are rare, purebred sweat and blood horses are even rarer, the price is more than gold, even if it is His Majesty Li Er, who is the emperor, there is no purebred sweat and blood horse in the stable, and there are many good horses in Dawan.
Li Tai said proudly: "What are you talking about? When did you give something to your sister and perfunctory for your brother? Either you don't send it, or you want to send it, it's the best! This horse was regarded as a treasure by the king of Wusun, and he couldn't wait to sleep with it exposed, and when his brother took this horse away in front of him, the old man almost cried! ”
Princess Changle has followed her father to feed and brush his beloved horses since she was a child, so she also loves horses very much, and she smiled at the moment and said: "A gentleman doesn't take the love of others, how can the fourth brother be like this?" I'll go back and take a look, I haven't seen a purebred sweaty horse yet......"
His Majesty Li Er looked at it with a smile, and he was very relieved in his heart.
If his children can let go of the obsession in their hearts, and be as harmonious and friendly as they are now, what more can he ask for?
However, the reality is always undesirable......
Princess Changle poured tea for Li Tai with a smile, Li Tai thanked him, took a sip lightly, sighed, and then sat down and looked at His Majesty Li Er.
"Father, what is that 'Datang Cultural Revitalization Association'...... What's going on? ”
His Majesty Li Er's face froze, and the teacup in his hand was gently pinched.
The son had just gone on an expedition to the Western Regions for the empire, and the dust had not yet been washed, but his side was already trying to persuade him to be a rich and idle king with peace of mind, and in addition to being guilty, His Majesty Li Er was really helpless.
This matter has just been put on the agenda, but he doesn't want Li Tai, who has just returned to Beijing, to know about it, and His Majesty Li Er is thinking about how to say it in order to dispel the resentment in this son's heart......
