Guo Li did not know that since he came to the Tang Dynasty, the wheel of history has been slowly changing. Mr. Guo, who let go of his worries, leisurely went to Dali Temple to go around, and then went to Xingqing Palace to revert. Since the last time he received Li Longji's order, he has not reported the situation to the emperor.

Xingqing Palace.

Since Li Longji ascended the throne, he has been very nostalgic for the Xingqing Palace where he lived in the former vassal kings, and the expanded Xingqing Palace has built a dragon pond pavilion, and the pond is stocked with thousands of carp, commonly known as koi. At this moment, Li Longji stood on the covered bridge in the pond with great interest and threw fish food, and the red carp in the pond rushed together to grab food, and the scene was spectacular.

"Excuse me, I heard that Wu Lingqi's case has made a lot of efforts?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is just at the right time. Last time, His Majesty asked Weichen to inquire about the smuggling of grain and grass in Chang'an City, and the minister came and went. After investigation, the smuggling of grain in Chang'an City was done by the Cao Gang, and the transportation capacity of Cao was insufficient, and there was a shortage of grain in Chang'an City for many years. The original intention of the Cao Gang was not to make profits, but to relieve the dilemma of food shortage in Chang'an. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it can also alleviate the urgent need. The leader of the Cao Gang is a distant relative of His Majesty, and the minister has verified it. As for the increase in grain prices in Chang'an City, it was caused by the shortage of unscrupulous merchants who took the opportunity to hoard grain and grass. The minister has already informed Lord Yin Yuan of Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"My distant relative? Who? ”

"The grandson of Gaozu, Mr. Li once said that they are all descendants of the Li family, and the Cao Gang should serve the court wholeheartedly. The old gentleman entrusted the minister to match the Cao Gang with Master Pei and contribute to Cao Yun's entry into Beijing. ”

"Well said! I don't know which one is Gaozu? ”

"The old gentleman said that his father was Li Yuanying, the seventeenth son of Gaozu."

Li Longji pondered for a while and muttered: "No matter above the temple or far away from the rivers and lakes, the people in my heart are worthy of being the descendants of the Li family. According to the generation, this old Mr. Li is my grandfather's generation. When I was born, Gaozong was already immortal, and I often regret it. I want to see this old gentleman. ”

Guo Li was taken aback. Li Longji suddenly wanted to see Mr. Li, this was not a casual joke. The Lizheng Workshop is mixed, and security has become a big problem. In a hurry, where to mobilize people to serve as guards?

Li Longji saw Guo Li's worries, "It's okay, Gao Lishi, change me into civilian clothes, and I want to pay a private visit." Gao Lishi sang, and after a while, Li Longji changed into a cyan scribe's shirt, but he was also polite and polite, like a scholar. Guo Li didn't dare to slack off, and gave Gao Lishi a look, and the latter understood.

……

Shopkeeper Luo is in a good mood. With the warm weather, it is the green season, and there are more people going to Qujiang in the south of the city. People come and go, and when you are thirsty, you can drink a bowl of tea at the tea stall, which is not expensive and quenches your thirst. The shopkeeper Luo is sincere, there is never a shortage of tea, although the tea brewed is not as good as the precious tea treasured in the homes of wealthy nobles, but there is also a bit of Jianghu asked. As soon as a group of guests left, Shopkeeper Luo saw three people coming over. The first one looked like a scholar, followed by a person who was a little familiar, and another person who was white-faced. Shopkeeper Luo was thinking about where he had seen this person, and heard someone call: "Shopkeeper Luo, serve a good pot of tea." Shopkeeper Luo then remembered, isn't this the official in a purple robe a few days ago? When he was young, Shopkeeper Luo worked as a handyman in Shangshu Mansion, and he knew the difference between dignity and inferiority, and the person who walked in front of him had the most noble status. I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so I made a pot of fine tea with the spring water I collected.

The three of them sat down and rested. The scribe and the shopkeeper Luo chatted and asked about how life and business were going, and since the shopkeeper Luo knew that the person who came was a dignitary, he naturally chose some good words to flatter. At this time, a few young people came, and shouted from afar: "Shopkeeper, come to a pot of tea." The shopkeeper answered, and then took the tea cup, made the tea, and put it on the table next to it.

"Today, I admire the talent of Brother Liu. An ancient poem made the little brother worship. "One of them.

"Brother Zhang Fu raised his love, and he sang casually in a hurry. Pei Xiandi is from the Pei family in Hedong, and he has seen a lot of clichés in Pingsuri. Although the young man named Cilu said "indescribable", the pride on his face floated.

"The virtuous brother is much more clever than what the virtuous brother has done."

"Don't humble each other between the two virtuous brothers, both of them are great talents." Said the youngest of the seeming years.

"Although Cui Lianxian's brother is young, the jaw couplet made by the right person is 'light rain knows that spring is beautiful, and the breeze is so lingering swallow is also a good sentence. However, there is a brother Yuxian who is also from a famous Cui family, why hasn't he expressed poetry? Pei Zhangfu commented that the boy who never spoke out was obviously Cui Youyu in Pei Zhangfu's mouth.

"The spring water and spring pond are full, and the spring grass grows in the spring. Spring people drink spring wine, and spring birds make spring sounds. I was not born, and I was old. You hate me for being late, and I hate you for being early. Cui Youyu chanted, "As soon as this law brother's masterpiece comes out, if the younger brother makes another indiscriminate poem, isn't it ridiculous and generous?" ”

The three people who came in front were Guo Li, Li Longji and Gao Lishi, and after sitting for a while with a cup of tea, they were about to get up and leave, but they didn't expect to come four talented people who had returned from their trips. Listening to their discussion, Li Longji was very interested, but he had no intention of leaving. Since the emperor wanted to hear it, Guo Li had no choice but to accompany him. Fortunately, all the talented people have excellent works, and they can taste them here while drinking tea. Speaking of which, the four people who came behind were all people with great backgrounds, and the oldest house manager Fang Zilu, although he had never entered the office, was the eldest son of Fang Rong, the doctor who advised the court. Pei Mian Pei Zhangfu is from the Pei family in Hedong, the youngest Cui Jian is from the Boling Cui family, and the other is Cui Yuan, who was unsuccessful in this department. These four people met in the suburbs, and on the way back, they passed by the tea stall to talk about poetry, but they didn't expect that Guo Li, who was sitting next to Chang'an paper, and the current emperor.

After pouring the tea, the shopkeeper Luo said with a smile: "The old man also talked about poetry and painting for a pleasant pastime, and after listening to the words of the four little brothers, I remembered a poem I made back then." ”

"The old shopkeeper has a song, the second brother is talented, just to comment."

"How dare you, the virtuous brother is raising love again."

"The old shopkeeper said to listen to it, maybe Chang'an paper is as expensive as Guo Li."

……

Li Longji smiled and glanced at Guo Li intentionally. The name of this Dali Siqing is not small, compared to Wang Weilai, I don't know who is higher and who is lower? If Guo Li knew that the emperor compared Wang Wei with himself, wouldn't it be the Guo family's ancestral tomb that was smoking?

Shopkeeper Luo stood up straight and recited an old work of the year: Enjoy the colorful once a year, and look for the old dust in the suburbs. The British are all over the place, and they return melancholy and do not know the spring.

Everyone applauded, and the old shopkeeper was flattered and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we will provide free tea today." ”

In the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, who doesn't know a few poems among the folk veterans? It's rare to have such a fun today, and the old shopkeeper was happy for a while, and he collected a little less tea money.

Many years later, the old man Luo said proudly to others that one day, the old man recited a poem in front of the five prime ministers and the first emperor, and the five prime ministers applauded Lao Luo. The old man was so happy that he waived their tea money.

"Lao Luo is old or can only brag, where are the five prime ministers? The broken poems you made can still make the prime minister applaud? ”

Lao Luo didn't care, and silently missed the blooming season that year. Only Lao Luo knew that one of them had saved Datang and extended Datang's qi, and said that the prime minister had wronged that person. When you are old, you have to talk unintentionally, Lao Luo remembered that Chang'an paper was expensive back then, who would have thought that the talented man of the year would become the pillar of the country.

The crowd dispersed, and Li Longji went to the old gentleman's mansion under the leadership of Guo Li. After knocking on the door for a long time, the young man Jianhu showed his head and saw Guo Li.

"Sir is not at home when he goes on a long trip, please go back." The young man poked his head out of the door in a posture of refusing to open the door, but he didn't even want to open the door. Gao Lishi was about to step forward to scold, but Li Longji waved his hand to stop him. Taoism pays attention to inaction, since the master is not there, why bother mediocrity?

When Empress Wu was in the dynasty, too many descendants of the Li family were killed. Today, the emperor is left with only the idle prince who doesn't care about the world's affairs and I, the Gu family. I wanted to meet this Li clansman, but I didn't expect the old gentleman to travel far away, and he returned to the palace with a sense of prosperity. Fortunately, today, the tea stall happened to meet people who went out, otherwise this trip would be extremely boring.

On the way back to the palace, Li Longji asked, "Of the few young men just now, two of them have good talents. My daughter, Princess Wan'an, has not yet been married, and tomorrow I will decree that the princess will choose a concubine. ”

Princess Wan'an?

Who is worthy of this fairy-like princess?

If you can find a princess worthy of the princess, I am afraid that the only one who is worthy of the princess is the great poet Wang Wei who saw in the second prince's mansion that day, and maybe Li Bai, who is wandering there.

Guo Li sent the emperor back to the palace, thinking about the task that Li Longji had just explained. Choosing a colt for the princess is not a good errand. There is also a handkerchief of Princess Wan'an in her arms, and when you take it out to see, the handkerchief is printed with a plum blossom valerian painting, and the word "Qian" is embroidered on the corner.

Princess Wan'an's name is Li Qian.

Inadvertently knowing Wan An's maiden name, Guo Li couldn't help but beat faster and put the handkerchief close to his body. Approaching the gate of the mansion, Guo Li slowed down and hesitated.

Steward Gou happened to go out and saw Guo Li hesitating at the door, "The master is back." After worshipping, I saw that Guo Li didn't react, and I don't know what this uncle was thinking.

I realized in my mind that someone was talking and polite, so I came back to my senses, and then I saw that Steward Gou was long gone. Afraid of what? At most, I was seen by a little girl. Majestic and high-spirited, he crossed the threshold and put aside his worries and went straight to the backyard.

Guo Li enjoyed the feeling of soaking in a wooden barrel.

At this moment, Chunshui held a wooden spoon in his hand and stood behind Guo Li to serve the master to bathe. Shicai also felt red-faced, and there was some relaxed joy in his heart, as if he had finally taken a difficult step after going through thousands of mountains and rivers. My uncle has a lot of scars on his body, and you can imagine how many battles he experienced on the battlefield. Thinking of this, the spring water couldn't help but gently caress the scars.

It's embarrassing!

"Miss doesn't know what's going on now? dragged on for a few months of pregnancy, and had to take care of the old lady. ”

Chunshui's words made Guo Li a little ashamed, he didn't even think about going back to visit Baguio these days. Since the Wang family suffered a great change, Guo Li has realized that if there is no power, even his beloved cannot be protected, let alone protect Datang.

What is Baguio doing?

……

Wang's backyard.

Baguio has a big belly and feels the beauty of life. The night is slightly cool, leaning on the pillar in the pavilion, Baguio has a lot of thoughts. The second brother left, and heard that the queen's sister was demoted to a concubine by the emperor and suffered in the palace. When my mother is sick, my husband doesn't know what to do?

The Wang family suddenly encountered a catastrophe, and Baguio saw the faces of the world clearly. This time it was all a disaster in the second room, and the people in the big house were still panicking for a few days, thinking that they were going to connect the nine clans, and after a few days, they heard the wind and it was like no one. is also the Wang family, why be too kind. Even the funeral of the second brother, the people in the big house didn't even want the paper face of Ping Suri, for fear of causing trouble, saying "The sinner who was given death by the emperor cannot enter the ancestral grave of the Wang family," "Wang Shouyi deserves a crime, and the Wang family is ashamed." "Fortunately, the uncle understands the matter and finally handles the second brother's affairs. The old lady is still alive, and the entire Wang family is like a distant relative.

The night was slightly cool, and Baguio thought of his eldest brother. Since the accident of the Wang family, the eldest brother has not returned for a long time. I don't know what the eldest brother is thinking. Recalling that when I was young, my brothers and sisters fought over a piece of sugar cake, and Shaohua was easy to pass away, and people's hearts were getting old.

Husband, are you alright?

The holy decree arrived as scheduled, and the little eunuch Li Jingzhong handed the decree to Guo Li with a smile. This Gonggong Li was only sixteen years old, and he was a eunuch on duty in the Taiji Palace, and he was temporarily arrested by Gao Lishi and sent to Guo Mansion to announce the decree. Knowing that this Gonggong Li had just entered the palace, Guo Li still gave twenty taels of "filial piety". Now that Guo Li is also worth a lot of money, there is no need to offend the eunuchs in the palace on such a trivial matter as whether to give a reward or not. In my previous life, I watched a lot of court dramas, and many ministers offended the eunuchs and were degraded for no reason.

A letter from the feudal official is far less than a sentence from the eunuch next to the emperor.

In the holy decree, King Ning, Dali Temple Qing Guo Li, and He Zhizhang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, were ordered to choose a horse for Princess Wan'an. Guo Li is not familiar with King Ning, but He Zhizhang knows him, which comes from the "Returning to the Hometown Doll Book" that he learned in elementary school. This old man in his sixties with a scruffy beard, if he wasn't wearing an official uniform, Guo Li would have thought that he would have come from somewhere.

He is a wonderful person.

"King Ning Li Chengqi is the brother of the current emperor, Ruizong succeeded to the throne in the past, King Ning was originally made the crown prince, and King Ning insisted on resigning. King Ning believes that the current emperor has the merit of leveling Wei's and should inherit the crown prince. After the emperor inherited the unification, he named Li Chengqi as the king of Ning. Just when the two were waiting for King Ning, He Zhizhang introduced King Ning's situation to Guo Li.

Choosing a horse for the princess, there is no doubt that King Ning is the first horse.

"I heard that King Ning is good at poetry, loves music, likes to beat drums, and the flute is a must-have in Beijing?"

"The rumors are inevitably exaggerated, but it is true that this King Ning loves music, as for beating the drum and playing the flute, the old man does not dare to question it until he sees it in person."

While the two were talking, King Ning came. In his forties, he wore a purple dragon robe with five pythons and a crown on his head. Entering the door, he hurriedly said: "Let the two adults wait for a long time, it is the king who is slack, forgive the sins." ”

"As soon as Xiaguan and Guo Shaoqing entered the door, the prince arrived. Now that the holy decree has been issued, please ask the prince to take charge,"

"No, no, no, this king has always been reluctant to worry about it, so I still ask Lord He to take charge."

The two of them pushed back and forth, and even looked at Guo Li at the same time, and said at the same time: "It's better to ask Lord Guo to take charge." ”

You two cunning treacherous don't want to offend people, why are you pulling it on my head? Guo Li was depressed in his heart, an old man in his sixties, and a prince in his forties, he couldn't afford to provoke him.

"Or ask the prince to preside over the overall situation, and I will wait for Fuyou to follow." Guo Li was not stupid, and pushed out along the water.

The three of them pushed around and played Tai Chi for half an hour, and in the end, it was Guo Li's next hot potato.

Choosing a horse for the princess, ordinary people always think that the princess is the lady of the sky, who doesn't want to marry home? There is an example of Princess Yongmu in the past, and what talented son of a family is willing to marry a princess. Even if Princess Wan'an is filial piety, beauty and wisdom coexist, who is willing to exchange her life's career for a woman's pity? The most headache is the fate of this princess Wan'an, didn't the immortal old Taoist Zhang Guo say it. At this moment, Guo Li is willing to believe that Zhang Guo is indeed a genuine immortal.

Can what the gods say not be accurate?
