Chapter 6 Li Yuanjia, King of Han
"Click!"
Li Yuanjia, who was immersed in writing, was suddenly taken aback.
Putting down the broken willow branch charcoal and rubbing his somewhat sore right hand, Li Yuanjia casually picked up the kettle on the coal stove next to him, but found that it was already empty. So he pushed the table and stood up, walked over and pushed open the door, and a chill hit his face, which made Li Yuanjia's spirits lift and his eyes light up at the same time.
In the quiet courtyard, there is a white expanse.
"Heh......"
Opening his mouth and taking a gentle breath, a white mist appeared in front of Li Yuanjia, and after moving forward half a foot long, it dissipated into the air.
The first snow in Chang'an City was really not small.
From last night to now, this first snow has turned Chang'an into a world covered in silver, Li Yuanjia had a childlike heart when he had breakfast before, went out and stepped on so many feet, and found that the snow was at least half a foot deep, and when I looked at it again, those footprints had been completely covered and could not be found......
Just when Li Yuanjia was looking at the heavy snow outside the door, the door of the hut next to him also opened, and Chunyan hurriedly walked over: "King, what do you command?" β
Because Li Yuanjia didn't allow them to stay in the study, and didn't let them freeze at the door, they would only hurry over when they heard the voice.
Stretching out his hand to hand over the kettle, Li Yuanjia said, "Chunyan, go and fetch the kettle." β
"Yes, my lord."
After bowing down, Chunyan hurried away.
And Li Yuanjia didn't rush into the house and close the door, but looked up at the snowflakes flying in the sky, blinked his eyes and couldn't help whispering: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, I hope that the ten years of Zhenguan will also be a bumper harvest year." β
He closed the door and sat down at the table again.
Compared to the cold at the door, the two coal stoves next to him continued to provide him with warmth, at least not to the extent that his hands were stiff enough to hold a pen. However, at this time, Li Yuanjia did not pick up another charcoal pen and continue to write, but looked at the words he had just written, sat there and began to be in a daze.
Zhenguan ten years, just like that.
If you count it, Li Yuanjia has been in Chang'an City for three months.
In October, Emperor Taiwu of the Tang Dynasty was buried in Xianling, the temple number was Gaozu, and Queen Mu was buried, and the plus name was Queen Taimu.
In November, Tang Gaozu deserved to enjoy the temple.
In November, Li Shimin wanted to set up a Gaozu Temple in Taiyuan, but was stopped by Yan Shigu.
On the afternoon of November, Li Jing wrote a letter, asking Li Shimin to wear regular clothes according to his will, and he was in the main hall, but the emperor did not allow it, and issued an edict to treat the old people of Gaozu well.
β¦β¦
On the first day of the first lunar month, that is, on the third day of the new year, Li Shimin finally listened to the government in person, saying that the Tang Dynasty had officially recovered from the death of the emperor.
And he, Li Yuanjia, also stayed in Chang'an City for three full months.
However, he did not live in the mansion rewarded by the emperor, but still lived in the "small" mansion prepared for him by his uncle Yu Wenshi. Because he is still keeping filial piety, he can't be greedy for enjoyment, and the mansion is naturally idle for two years. Even during the time he stayed in Chang'an, he did not go out of the gate, did not step out of the second door, and strictly abided by the rules of filial piety.
In the past three months, Li Yuanjia has been quite worried.
Because in addition to him, the other two princes who returned to Chang'an had already returned to the fiefdom after the burial of the emperor, and only he was rejected by the emperor when he wrote to resign. For this reason, Li Shimin specially summoned him once and ordered him to stay in Chang'an with peace of mind and wait for dispatch!
The stunned Li Yuanjia didn't understand at all where he was going to send himself!
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much."
Shaking his head, Li Yuanjia dispelled the slight uneasiness in his heart, and his thoughts couldn't help but fly to Luzhou, which was thousands of miles awayβalthough it was a big town in his eyes, it was also a big town that belonged to him after all, and he couldn't help but miss it after staying in Chang'an for three months.
In particular, I am concerned about the second phase of the sewer project in Luzhou City.
Before leaving, Li Yuanjia specially explained that no matter whether he can go back in time or not, the second phase of the sewer project must start as scheduled after the autumn harvest. And this time, he also asked Han Shan and Chen Lin to make more adequate preparations, including preparing more manpower and materials, and being sure to complete all the projects before the beginning of spring.
The letter sent by Han Shan ten days ago also said that everything was going well, which made Li Yuanjia feel a lot more relieved.
However, today's heavy snow made Li Yuanjia can't help but start worrying, if there is frequent heavy snowfall in Luzhou this winter, the impact on the project will be great......
"Knock knock ......"
Just when Li Yuanjia's thoughts were confused, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
But it was not Chunyan who went to fetch water for him, but Han Lucheng, who acted as a housekeeper in Chang'an. After this guy came in, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then said respectfully: "King, the palace has sent someone!" β
"Oh? Go over and take a look. β
"Yes, my lord."
Following Han Lucheng to the small courtyard next to him, Li Yuanjia saw a palace man who was shivering from the cold, and the other party hurriedly saluted after seeing him: "I've seen the king." β
"Well, excuse me."
With a wave of his hand, Li Yuanjia sat down on the chair first, and then asked indifferently: "Come to me on a snowy day, but Your Majesty has something to call me?" β
owed again, and the palace people said respectfully: "King, Your Majesty has just issued an edict, and King Xi is the king of Han......"
"What did you say?!"
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Li Yuanjia stood up suddenly.
His eyes were wide open, Li Yuanjia stepped forward and glared at the palace person, and said urgently: "You say it again, what did Your Majesty just issue an edict to let me do?" β
Taken aback by Li Yuanjia's actions and tone, the palace people who were a little panicked in their hearts hurriedly lowered their heads and said, "King, Your Majesty has issued an edict to make you the King of Han!" This is the edict that has just been written, please take a look at it! β
ββ¦β¦β
took the edict in the hands of the palace people, and Li Yuanjia couldn't wait to look at it.
Skipping the meaningless flowery rhetoric in the front, Li Yuanjia directly began to look at the substantive content behind it, and read it in a low voice: "Wang Yuanjing of Zhao is the king of Jing, King Yuanchang of Lu is the king of Han, Wang Yuanli of Zheng is the king of Yan, Wang Yuanjia of Xu is the king of Han, Wang Yuan of Jing is the king of Peng, King Yuanyi of Teng is the king of Zheng, Wang Yuanliang of Wu is the king of Huo, Yuanfeng of Feng Wang is the king of Yu, Wang Yuanqing of Chen is the king of Dao, Lingkui of Wei is the king of Xu, Wang Ke of Shu is the king of Wu, and Wang Tai of Yue is the king of Wei......"
"I'll go, so that's it!"
In the latter part, Li Yuanjia is no longer interested in continuing to read. It turned out that what the emperor wanted him to wait for was this, the adjustment of the titles of the princes of the Tang Dynasty!
That is to say, from today onwards, he will no longer be the king, but ......
Han King Li Yuanjia is gone.
