Chapter 8 Miscellaneous

At the beginning of February, the weather in Chang'an also began to have a hint of warmth.

However, after receiving the emperor's holy decree, Li Yuanjia didn't feel a trace of heat-Yongzhou Mu? This means that he will be stationed in Chang'an City in the future?

"Yes, King."

The visiting Fang Yi sat up straight and said seriously: "I heard my father say that Your Majesty means to let you stay in Chang'an, but the king's fief and career field will also stay in Luzhou...... Now the King of Wei will take over from you to Luzhou and serve as the assassin of Luzhou. ”

"Lingkui...... Is it? ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Li Yuanjia didn't know what it was like for a while.

After receiving the will, Li Yuanjia immediately entered the palace to resign, refusing the position of Yongzhou pastor on the grounds of filial piety and young inexperience, but Li Shimin casually sent him away.

When he was thinking about when to ask for his resignation again, the future brother-in-law Fang Zhizhi came to visit and tried his best to persuade Li Yuanjia to give up this plan and honestly stay in Chang'an to be his king of Han and Yongzhou pastor.

I have to say that Li Yuanjia was quite surprised.

He did think that when the title and fief were greatly adjusted, he could be closer to Chang'an, especially if he could go to the vicinity of Luoyang. After all, this is an era of vast land and sparse population, and places like Luzhou have such a small population, and if you want to buy something such as cotton seeds, medical books, etc., you have to send someone to Chang'an or Luoyang.

But Li Yuanjiake never thought that he would be stationed in Chang'an in the future!

God, that's under Li Shimin's nose!

And what's even more terrifying is that there are a large number of old foxes such as the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng below Li Shimin, although they are all famous and virtuous ministers in history, but after a few years, Li Yuanjia knows very well in his heart that all of them are masters who eat people and do not spit out bones, and there is no one who is easy to get along with!

Let's just say that the eldest grandson Wuji, how many people will be killed in the future?

For example, Li Daozong, a famous general of the clan, because of the conflict with the eldest grandson Wuji and Zhu Suiliang, was later liquidated in the rebellion case of Li Yuanjia's brother-in-law, and died of illness on the way to exile......

As a pure political novice, can Li Yuanjia survive in the political whirlpool of Chang'an?

Even if there is no problem during the Zhenguan years, don't forget, it is now ten years of Zhenguan, and it is only thirteen years from Yonghui, God knows if the little nephew who is only the age of Douding will kill himself because of some people or certain things?

Thinking about this possibility, Li Yuanjia shuddered.

In the impression of many people, Li Zhi, who sent the Tang Dynasty to Wu Zetian, seems to be a gentle and cowardly emperor, but Li Yuanjia has a different opinion on this. After all, Tang Gaozong is no worse than him in terms of killing his brother and uncle, just among the people Li Yuanjia remembers, in addition to Li Daozong's exile, there are six brothers Li Yuanjing and nephew Li Ke who were slaughtered by him......

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

Just when Li Yuanjia fell into deep thought and began to think wildly, Fang Zhizhi, who saw him in a daze, couldn't help but cough lightly twice, and said: "King, my father once explained before I came here today, Your Majesty's will has been issued, and the king is afraid that it will be difficult to return to Luzhou." Therefore, you should prepare early, and don't panic when the time comes. ”

"Well, this king understands."

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuanjia nodded solemnly.

Yes, since the emperor's attitude is so firm, what's the use of thinking so much? And if you think about it now, I'm afraid that the house that the emperor gave Shengye Fang before was prepared for this day, right?

"Huh? That's not right. ”

Suddenly remembering something, Li Yuanjia frowned and said: "This king is now in the period of filial piety, how can he take on the position of Yongzhou pastor?" ”

Secretly rolled his eyes, Fang Yizhi said helplessly: "King, although filial piety is important, if everyone is like the king, wouldn't it be a big mess in the world?" Let's just say that the eldest grandson Sikong died with his mother in February last year, and didn't he recover again in May? Now that Your Majesty has a life, the king will finally put state affairs first......"

“…… All right. ”

After walking around the room a few times, Li Yuanjia finally nodded.

Although he still can't guess the emperor's thoughts for the time being, since Li Shimin wants him to be the Yongzhou pastor...... In fact, Li Yuanjia faintly felt that the key was to let him stay in Chang'an, so it was best for him to follow the emperor's wishes. As for not being able to hold an official position because of filial piety, it is indeed relatively unimportant, after all, when Sun Wuji, the head of the court, died, his mother only stayed at home for three months.

"But Li Yuanjia, you can't be careless!"

At the same time, Li Yuanjia also warned himself in his heart.

The emperor naturally has to obey his life, but it doesn't mean that Li Yuanjia can "let himself go", and he really doesn't take the taboos of filial piety seriously! After all, the impression he left on others in the past few years was "pure filial piety", and when he heard the news of his mother's illness, he couldn't eat all day and night, and he lost several pounds at once!

If you get carried away, someone will see a flaw......

There is no need to think about it, Li Yuanjia knows that he will definitely be included in the ranks of those who are "scheming" or "inconsistent" by others. At that time, it will be up to what others think, but if Li Shimin or Li Zhi also thinks so, then he will be able to live a better life in the future?

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia felt bitter in his heart, and sighed secretly: It seems that this hard life will continue to pass......

"The king? King? ”

While Li Yuanjia was struggling in his heart, Fang Yizhi's side was not very comfortable.

This future brother-in-law is so daze-like!

In fact, this is the third time the two have met, and they are really not familiar with each other at all, but Fang Zhizhi, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of "inspecting" the future son-in-law for his mother and sister, came to see Li Yuanjia this time in the spirit of twelve, and wanted to know more about each other, and the result was ......

After Li Yuanjia's attention was diverted, Fang Yizhi hesitated for a moment and began to relay Fang Xuanling's explanation: "King, before I came, my father once instructed me, saying that if the king is interested in those miscellaneous studies, he might as well continue to do it in Chang'an...... Ahem, of course, if the king is no longer interested, he naturally doesn't have to care about these words. ”

When he said this, Fang Yizhi's face was slightly red, and he was a little ashamed in his heart.

If Lao Fang was in the house at this time, seeing his son's expression at this time, he would definitely slap his head and scold a fool. In the words of the future, this guy belongs to the kind of people who are stupid in reading, and always feel that Li Yuanjia used to be diligent in calligraphy and painting, and liking books is the right way, and the tables and chairs, coal stoves and iron pots that he later engaged in are all typical playthings. But now that my father wants to encourage my future son-in-law to continue to play with the things made by the craftsmen, isn't it insulting?

But the father's order is difficult to disobey, and Fang Zhizhi must also pass on the spirit.

It's just that Fang Yizhi felt ashamed because of his father's words, but Li Yuanjia suddenly froze after hearing it.

"Miscellaneous? Keep doing it? ”
