"It's coming, it's coming!" A sharp-eyed man in the crowd shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw flags waving in the distance, and a large group of men and horses drove over.

Miao Xiting shouted: "Hurry up, get happy!"

The musicians immediately played a melodious welcome song.

Looking at the crowded welcoming crowd, Li You and Hou Junji dismounted a few steps in advance and walked towards everyone.

"Gao Yong, the governor of Luoyang, together with all the officials of the Luoyang Governor's Office, as well as the people from all walks of life in Luoyang City, welcome His Royal Highness King Qi and Chen Guogong to Luoyang." Gao Yong and the others saluted and said.

"Governor Gaodu, everyone is exempt." Li You arched his hand and said.

Gao Yong first introduced the main officials of the Governor's Mansion to Li You and others, most of whom Li You knew, and he greeted them cordially.

Then, Gao Yong accompanied Li You and Hou Junji to the city.

"His Royal Highness King Qi." Someone in the crowd whispered.

"Fang Xiaoyu." Li You exclaimed in surprise.

The beautiful woman with a smile in the crowd is Fang Xiaoyu, who helped Li You back then, she is in her early 20s at this time, and her youthful beauty adds a bit of mature charm.

Li You stopped, chatted with her for a few words, turned back to her husband Luoyang Sima Liu Mingde and smiled: "Have you bullied Fang Niangzi?" ”

Liu Mingde smiled: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Your Highness, the husband of the concubine loves the concubine very much. ”

Li You smiled and said, "That's good, you and your wife will participate in the phoenix reception banquet together." ”

"Your Highness Xie, the minister obeys the order." Liu Mingde arched his hand and said.

Li You and the others continued to walk towards the city.

"His Royal Highness King Qi."

"His Royal Highness King Qi."

At this time, a familiar shout came from the crowd.

"Huang Groove, Xiugu, Lu Xiaoqi, how are you." Li You said happily.

"Okay, good, His Royal Highness King Xie Qi remembers." Huang Laoba and the others said happily.

Li You was inconvenient to talk to them here, and said, "You guys should go to the banquet with me." ”

Miao Xiting said: "Your Highness, the minister will arrange it." ”

Li You said to Huang Laoba and the others, "See you later." ”

Subsequently, Li You, Hou Junji and others, surrounded by Gao Yong and others, entered Luoyang City.

Because he had to transfer troops from Luoyang, Li You stayed in Luoyang for three days according to the plan. After the reception banquet was over, Li You stayed in the governor's palace.

The next day, Li You had nothing to do, so he and Zhang Guigui and others, accompanied by Liu Mingde and Fang Xiaoyu, visited the scenic spots in Luoyang.

Luoshui enters Luoyang, the willows on both sides of the river are green and red, and the visitors are like weaving.

Li You and others took a painting boat and wandered in the Luoshui River, leisurely.

The cruise ship goes down the river, and soon arrives at the famous Weiwang Embankment, where the green willows on both sides of the river, the pavilions and pavilions, the carved beams and painted buildings, are indeed a luxurious but elegant place.

Li Shimin is extremely fond of Li Tai, there are a total of 103 shops in Luoyang City, and Li Tai alone occupies more than one and a half, which is adjacent to Luoshui, which was built into a garden by Li Tai. Li Tai's artistic attainments are extremely high, and his taste is also excellent, and a section of the embankment was built to a very high artistic level, becoming a famous scenic spot in Luoyang.

Hence the name of this section of the embankment.

Although Fang Xiaoyu is married and no longer haunts the dust, his skills are still exquisite. I saw her jade fingers flicking, flowing clouds and water, and the sound of the piano was melodious.

Facing the beautiful scenery of Weiwang Causeway, Li Youman chanted: "The flowers are cold and lazy, and the birds are crying, and the horses are idle to the west of the day." Where there is no spring to think first, the wicker is powerless Wei Wang Dike. “

This poem by Bai Juyi depicts the scene of winter going to spring, but spring is still cold and precipitous.

At this time, the prosperous scene of spring with a hundred flowers and the sound of warblers and swallows is far from appearing. There was no spring scene to stop and watch, and the poet had no choice but to wander on the embankment, rather helplessly killing time. But spring cannot be without a trace, and the careful and sensitive poet suddenly discovered the signs that spring has arrived, that is, the weak willows on both sides of the causeway, which have been gently brushed by tender branches, bringing a hint of spring to the world.

"Good poetry." Everyone unanimously praised.

Baihu hurriedly took out the small notebook he carried with him and recorded it, preparing to go back to ask his wife Magpie for credit.

At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu lightly opened his lips and sang. She wrote the melody for the poem in such a short period of time. Her singing voice is tactful and clear, melodious to the ear.

Everyone was amazed.

At this time, Liu Mingde, who was the Sima of Luoyang, sighed: "Although the scenery of this Weiwang Embankment is beautiful, there are also unsatisfactory points. ”

Li You asked casually, "Let's hear it." ”

Liu Mingde was about to speak, but was interrupted by Fang Xiaoyu, she said: "Husband, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is only here for a short time, don't tell His Highness about the troubles." ”

Li You heard it, as soon as the two sang and harmonized, there was something unspeakable to tell him. He really stayed here for a short time, and he didn't want to care about anything here.

However, in the face of Fang Xiaoyu's expectant gaze, he still asked, "Is there anything unspeakable, just say it." ”

Liu Mingde told Li You the whole story.

It turned out that although Li Tai was belittled, Li Shimin did not recover his property in Luoyang, and all the property income here still belonged to Li Tai. According to Li Tai's current level, the income from these industries is subject to taxes, but the government cannot collect a penny.

This problem is just one of them, and the biggest problem is not here yet.

Li Tai Luoyang's property is huge, and there are hundreds of domestic slaves who manage the property for him, and these people are rampant and domineering, and they don't take the government seriously at all, and they will cause trouble from time to time.

Liu Mingde, as the chief in charge of law and order, this matter gave him the most headache. He once wrote a recital, which was submitted to the Zhongshu Province in the name of the Governor's Palace, but it was not completed.

Later, someone from the palace spread the word that as long as the behavior of those domestic slaves was not illegal, they should not interfere more.

Liu Mingde hoped that Li You could restrain these house slaves, and Fang Xiaoyu also hoped that Li You could help her husband solve the trouble.

After listening to Liu Mingde's words, Zhang Guigui said angrily: "This guy is too ignorant of self-love. ”

Li You pondered.

Li You thought that what Liu Mingde said was true, and Li Shimin loved Li Tai very much, and although he relegated him to other places, he still did not want him to suffer, so he did not deprive him of his inheritance.

As for Li Shimin's refusal to reply to the Luoyang Governor's Mansion, he also didn't want anyone to take the opportunity to bully Li Tai because Li Tai was belittled. This kind of doting is really beyond measure.

The reason why Li Tai's house slaves stirred up trouble was probably instructed by Li Tai, because he knew Li Shimin too well.

If Li Tai was still the king of Wei, if his house slaves made trouble and someone stopped him, Li Shimin might support him. He would admonish Li Tai and ask him to restrain his house slaves.

However, now Li Tai is unlucky, if someone punishes his house slave, Li Tai will complain to Li Shimin. Li Shimin will definitely think that others are because they saw Li Tai unlucky, fell into the well, and bullied his son. Li Shimin will definitely be unhappy.

Li Tai just wanted to use Li Shimin's psychology to win his sympathy, and then restore his title to achieve the goal of returning to Chang'an.

Li You figured it out. However, this matter involves royal secrets, and it is inconvenient for him to tell outsiders. He said: "Regarding the issue of taxation, you go back and talk to Sima Miao Xiting, and say that Li Tai's industries belong to the royal family and are tax-exempt, so don't go to taxation."

As for the problem of those domestic slaves, I will come forward to solve it for you. ”

Liu Mingde didn't want to do anything to Li Tai's house slaves, he just hoped that they wouldn't cause trouble for themselves. Hearing Li You say this, he expressed his gratitude to Li You.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Li You sent Zhang Guigui to reprimand Li Tai's house slaves and warn them not to cause trouble. said that if they caused trouble again, His Royal Highness King Qi would personally clean them up.

Subsequently, Li You wrote a letter to Li Shimin and Li Tai respectively, explaining how he handled this matter.

Li Shimin thought that Li You could understand his beloved son's heart, so he didn't say anything.

Li Tai read Li You's letter, although he was a little dissatisfied with his meddling. However, seeing that Li You didn't do anything that actually hurt himself, and he knew that Li You had seen through his thoughts, he was afraid of Li You, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Later, Li Tai sent his housekeeper to Luoyang to warn those domestic slaves to restrain themselves. Later, those domestic slaves basically stopped getting into trouble.

Three days later, Li You and others embarked on the journey again.
