Chapter 2 Greetings
In the era of the Tang Dynasty, there was a policy that seemed to Li Yuanjia to be very tormenting, that is, every time at the end of the year, the emperor would summon some people back to Beijing.
For example, his son, brother, and some close ministers, etc.
Of course, it is indispensable to pay tribute to the envoys of various countries, and everyone will arrive in Chang'an before the first day...... In the eyes of the people of this era, it should be regarded as an honor.
After all, Chang'an is not an ordinary state and county, but the center of the Tang Dynasty!
This point is known only by looking at the armies around Chang'an, not only in terms of quality, but also in terms of quantity, it is also extremely huge - almost six or seven percent of the total number of Tang troops!
In this regard, it is very different from the later generations!
So from ancient times to the present, this has been the case in all dynasties, whether you are a prince or an important minister, as long as you are released as an official, there is an iron law, that is, you must not return to Beijing unless you are ordered to do so!
Speaking of which, this is a lesson in blood......
Far from it.
In short, the closer the time is to the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, the more lively Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, becomes. Especially at the end of December, there are convoys driving into the gate of Chang'an City almost every day.
And the moment Li Ke entered Chang'an, he immediately entered the sight of many well-intentioned people.
So when he rested in Chang'an City for two days and went to see his father Li Shimin, he sent someone to send a post to the Han Palace, and it quickly reached the ears of some people.
"In other words, he is going to visit King Han?"
After hearing the news, Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes immediately narrowed, and he casually picked up the cup and drank mare's milk.
is not angry and mighty, he is talking about people like Changsun Wuji.
Even if it was just a faint sentence, there was no expression or movement except for squinting his eyes and taking a sip of mare's milk, but at this moment the room was still silent, and everyone stood quietly, quietly waiting for an answer.
"Yes, Xianggong."
Nodding, the middle-aged man in charge of finding out the news said in a low voice: "The little one thought that he would go to visit the important ministers of the court first, but ...... I really didn't expect it to be King Han! ”
When he said this, the middle-aged man's eyes were full of doubt.
In his opinion, this is indeed a puzzling thing. Because the eldest grandson Wuji attaches more importance to Li Ke, even with him, he is naturally very concerned about the news of this prince, and he has been staring at him almost from the moment the other party enters Chang'an. But no matter what aspect is considered, if Li Ke returns to Chang'an, he should first go to meet the emperor, and then visit the courtiers who are interested in supporting him......
Han Wang Li Yuanjia?
What is he?
Although this lord is quite famous among the magnates, especially because of Quyuan plow, stir-fried vegetables, thirteen spices and other things before, King Han already had a lot of fame, and later because of the glass on the Daxing Palace, it shocked many people - but in the final analysis, he is just an idle king who can often surprise people.
If you want to talk about influence, it's far from it!
Not to mention super bosses like Eldest Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, they are ordinary princes, but if they have a little real power, which one is not more powerful than King Han?
In these days, the most worthless thing is money!
The middle-aged man couldn't figure it out, in fact, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't understand it very well in his heart, and after squinting his eyes and being silent for a moment, he suddenly asked; "I sent a prayer post, do you know when he will go to see King Han?"
"This ......"
After hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know about this little one, because King Han is not in the mansion in the first place, it seems that he went out of the city three days ago!" ”
"Out of town? Went to that valley again? ”
After a pause, Eldest Sun Wuji's expression gradually became strange.
The fact that King Han built a glass workshop in a valley outside the city and sent people to guard the valley is already an open secret in Chang'an City. And Li Yuanjia will go there every once in a while, and even the matter of living in the valley for two days is not new, and many people know it.
To be honest, the eldest grandson Wuji is quite disdainful.
You are a dignified prince of the first grade, even if you want to be an idle king, you can also focus on elegant things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right? What does it mean to think about those craftsmen every day?
"Yes, Xianggong."
Blinking his eyes, the middle-aged man nodded and smiled: "Your expectation is right, King Han went to that valley!" And this time it seems that he brought a lot of horses, and he has been living in it for three days...... Xianggong, but do you want to go and explore carefully? ”
"Hmm......"
After pondering for a while, Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly smiled, and a very strange look flashed in his eyes: "Hehe, that's not necessary!" Han Wang...... He's just a playful kid, so let him go......"
……
Li Yuanjia, who lived in the valley for three days, didn't know that he had just gotten a "playful" evaluation from the eldest grandson Wuji.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
If you look at it from the point of view of this era, there seems to be nothing wrong with the word "playfulness" - this is the limitation of the times, even if the eldest grandson Wuji is famous in history, it seems that there is nothing strange about not being able to jump out of the trap of the times.
Besides, what people say doesn't affect them in the slightest, so why care?
But after seeing King Wu's post, Li Yuanjia was a little surprised: "Li Ke? That kid went back to Chang'an...... Also, after all, he is one of the second child's favorite sons, and it is normal for people to take the opportunity of the New Year to be summoned back to meet him. Merely...... What does that kid want me to do? ”
Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia read the post again.
It's a very ordinary text, but it's just some politeness, expressing the meaning that the nephew wants to visit his uncle. After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanjia directly picked up the pen and began to write a reply.
The nephew wants to visit him, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.
So he directly said in the letter the date of his return to the city, so that Li Ke would have time to come over in three days.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanjia roughly guessed several possible reasons why Li Ke was looking for him, and the biggest probability should be one of the hottest topics in Chang'an City recently, glass.
Li Yuanjia knows these nephews too well.
Among Li Shimin's sons, Li Tai is willing to come to his uncle from time to time because of mathematics. As for Li Ke's words...... Hehe, like the prince, he is also a master who will never come to the door if he has nothing to do!
If you have nothing to do to find yourself, I'm afraid you won't want to come to see your "unproductive" uncle for the rest of your life, right?
After explaining the matter clearly in a few words, sealing it and letting people take it away, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh and said to Han Lucheng: "Just because of this glass thing, I have received a lot of posts recently, right?" ”
"Yes, my lord, there are more than twenty of them."
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Han Lucheng grinned: "But if the things we just made here are spread, not to mention more than twenty, I'm afraid more than two hundred will have ......."
