Chapter 107: Plans to Go South
On the second bathing day in April, before dawn, a fast horse entered the city to spread the head, whose head? Of course, it's Wang Junkuo's.
"Father, are you going to Wangjiang Tower to watch a drama today?"
In the Changle Palace, Li Shimin asked Li Yuan, who had just gotten up, with a smile on his face.
"Uh, Erlang! Don't kill too many people. Li Yuan read a lot from Li Shimin's smile, his voice trembled a little, and he said with a slight pleading.
"My son is not a murderer, I just hope that the world is peaceful, and my Li family will be forever."
Li Shimin said, and in the palace, Pei Lian, who had a miserable face, walked in.
"The Emperor, the minister has come to invite you to watch a drama in Wangjiang Tower."
Li Yuan saw that Pei Lin was still alive, and his face showed surprise, but he looked at Li Shimin with a pair of old eyes.
"Father, go in peace! No one in this world can disturb the pleasures of my father. Li Shimin said, flicked his sleeves and strode out of Chang'an Palace.
When he walked away, Pei Lian, who couldn't hold back, sat on the ground.
"Pei Qing, this is ······"
"Your Majesty, the old minister is useless, Wang Junkuo's men and horses who secretly infiltrated Chang'an were besieged and killed, and his own head was also sent to the city, in addition, the five thousand private soldiers borrowed from the major families and ambushed outside the city are all gone." Pei Lin wiped his old tears and said.
"All gone?·····"
When Li Yuan heard this, his soul was empty, and the glimmer of hope that he had finally ignited was completely extinguished by a kick today.
"That's it, that's it, we can't fight Erlang after all······"
After a long time, Li Yuan closed his eyes bitterly and said a word, but he didn't have any intention of watching the show.
The most depressed is Pei Lone, Li Shimin got rid of the two people he arranged, almost silently, and he didn't even alarm the people of Chang'an City, he couldn't figure out what went wrong, of course, he couldn't understand what was wrong, of course, he didn't understand that Li Shimin actually didn't make any punishment for him, the mastermind, what is the use of keeping him?
Of course, there are many uses, the first is to stabilize the family, Li Shimin is not afraid that these gate lord forces will gather people to fight him, because, with the military strength he controls, he can easily clean up these non-professional armed elements, he is afraid that after the contradiction with the family completely breaks out, the entire official system of the Tang Dynasty will be paralyzed, so killing their private soldiers is just to give them a warning, as long as they can be honest in the future, Li Shimin can not pursue this matter for the time being.
However, this kind of non-investigation is also time-limited, and before Li Shimin relieves the internal and external troubles of Datang, if they can't give up their own interests to serve them, then Li Shimin will no longer mind waving the butcher's knife.
Another use is to maintain Li Shimin's reputation, he can't kill the prime minister of Li Yuanchao as soon as he ascends the throne, so that no matter how much he whitewashes it in the history books, future generations will be suspicious when they see it, and only people who are not in the right position will do this.
In fact, in the end, Li Shimin once lived, so many rebellion incidents, there were basically family gate valves behind the promoter, which was related to his attitude towards the family door valve, through the total incident, let those family gate valves know that Li Shimin has the intention of eradicating them, and they don't do everything possible to promote the rebellion!
A big coup d'état was eliminated by Li Shimin in this way, so most of the people in Chang'an City didn't know about it, and they only thought that Wang Junkuo had made an oolong, so today's business in Wangjianglou is still hot.
After three months, the Legend of the White Snake is finally going to start, you know, the last plot was broken on the Shuiman Jinshan Temple, which is so torturous.
The people of Chang'an City, who had spent a spring in countless plot conjectures, were finally able to know the mystery today, so after a hurried lunch, everyone gathered in front of the stage.
However, the play did not start immediately, after the curtain opened, a long red carpet was spread out in the middle of the stage, rhythmic light music sounded, and several girls dressed up appeared on the stage, their dress was either dignified and generous, or beautiful and virtuous, or playful and cute, in short, they can give people a bright feeling.
To the rhythm of the music, the girls walked from the end of the red carpet to the front of the stage in an elegant pose, and then, with a beautiful turn, struck a few standing positions, and then walked back.
The people of Datang, who had never seen a fashion catwalk, were blindsided, but on the stage, the catwalk continued, and the girls changed several rounds, until everyone's eyes gradually shifted from the faces of these girls to the leather clothes, shoulders, handbags, and high-heeled leather boots on their bodies, and the music stopped.
At this time, Sun Xiangfuti, who was wearing long sleeves and long pants and leather boots, walked onto the stage with a loudspeaker.
"I believe everyone saw the outfits of those girls just now, and of course, some people just stared at the faces of other girls."
In just one sentence, everyone found the feeling of the Spring Festival Gala and Shangyuan Night, and they burst into laughter.
After making a booing motion, Sun Xiangfu raised the flag again and said, "Maybe you don't know why a group of girls wearing all kinds of leather goods were arranged to walk around the stage just now, I tell you quietly, don't spread it!" This is also a little benefit that our Wangjiang Building brings to our old customers. ”
Speaking of this, everyone's curiosity was seduced by Sun Xiangfu, and they held their breath and wanted to hear what he had to say.
"The leather goods they wear are not simple, they are specially customized by the royal family to the harem of the mother, the princesses wear, because of the production of more, it is inevitable that it is idle and wasteful, so I took the extra small part of the products to sell on the market, the shop is opened in the East Market, called the supreme leather goods, all of them are high-quality, if you go late, there will be no goods!"
Niangniang and princesses are wearing, isn't it the supreme among women, so Sun Xiangfu doesn't need to say too much, just leave an introduction, and after he went down with the horn, the models walked on the stage again, at this time, everyone's attention was more focused on the leather goods on their bodies, and soon, everyone found the delicacy of these leather goods, especially handbags and high-heeled leather boots, in this era when the average height of women is less than 1.55 meters, the temptation of high heels for women is too great.
After this round of T runway is over, many people in the restaurant, and the people dressed as servants have left, thinking that they should go to the shop of the supreme leather goods in the East Market to sweep the goods.
only received a thousand guan, then only help a thousand guan, Sun Xiangfu finished what he should do, and immediately went backstage to put on makeup and change costumes. Later, the White Snake spread the performance, and it went straight to Bai Suzhen giving birth to a child, and was detained by the French Customs under the Leifeng Tower, and Xu Xian became a monk before it ended.
When the drama ended, Sun Xiangfu, who was removing his makeup backstage, was notified that Xuanzang was visiting.
"I haven't seen him for some days, but the master has lost a lot." Sitting down in front of the coffee table in the office, Sun Xiangfu said while pouring hot water for Xuanzang.
"The poor monk is bent on traveling west, and these days he begged His Majesty so hard that he couldn't sleep at night, so that Lord Sun saw a joke." Xuanzang thanked Sun Xiangfu for the tea road.
"The master is in vain, restricting the development of Buddhism is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty does not allow it, and it is reasonable, it is actually a Buddhist doctrine, and it is inconsistent with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty." Sun Xiangfu persuaded.
"The doctrine does not correspond to the national policy? Lord Sun, please give me advice. Xuanzang was stunned when he heard this.
"Not to mention anything else, just the fact that monks are not allowed to marry and give birth after receiving ordination is something that His Majesty hates, if you don't remember the righteousness of monks and soldiers to help the war, the Tang Dynasty may have no Buddhism." Sun Xiangfu analyzed to Xuanzang.
Hearing this, Xuanzang was silent for a long time, the more stable the politics of the Tang Dynasty, the more Li Shimin paid more attention to the population, the population is the productive force, it is the source of soldiers, and at present, the population of the Tang Dynasty is only more than 2 million households, almost since the Qin and Han dynasties, the era of the smallest population, your Buddhism has such a precept, and blame the court for suppressing you?
After a while, seeing that Xuanzang was speechless, Sun Xiangfu said again, "Since Buddhism is destined to be a small sect in this era, why should the master be obsessed with preaching Buddhism?" ”
"Non-yes, non-yes, in Tianzhu in the West, Buddhism is prevalent, all people believe in Buddhism, there is no fear in their hearts, but it does not affect people's survival and reproduction······"
Xuanzang waited to say more, but Sun Xiangfu stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "The master also knows that all the people in Tianzhu can't become monks, they know the philosophy of worshipping Buddhism, and at present, the monks in my Datang are still too many compared to the number of people, and those people who believe in Buddhism in Tianzhu may not live better than the people in my Datang. ”
"However, Your Majesty does not allow it, how can the poor monk get it."
Listening to Xuanzang say this, Sun Xiangfu knew that he had not made up his mind to sneak out of the customs at the moment, and was still trying to obtain official recognition.
"If you don't have a customs clearance document, you can go by yourself! However, it is still not recommended that the master take the land route, and now Jieli and Tuli are inseparable from each other outside the pass, so it is better to take the water route and send the master a ride under it? ”
"By water? You're going to sea? ”
In his previous conversation with Sun Xiangfu, he knew that the world, at least the distribution of the land in the Asian region, knew that it was not far to go to the sea from Lingnan to Tianzhu.
"Well, there's something I want in the South, so, drop by."
Sun Xiangfu also didn't know anything about navigation, so he didn't dare to cross the Pacific Ocean as soon as he came up, starting with offshore sailing, and then playing around the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.
"In this way, the poor monk thanked Lord Sun for sending him." Xuanzang was overjoyed when he heard this, and folded his hands and bowed.
"The master doesn't need to be like this, he won't send the master all the way to Tianzhu, at most to Lingnan, but then you can borrow the master's ship and sailors, and after sending the master to Tianzhu, they will return, and the master's return date will be determined by the master himself!" Sun Xiangfu helped Xuanzang up and said.
His goal is to occupy the city of rice, this kind of rice with a growth cycle of only two months once introduced, will change the entire agricultural pattern of Datang, Datang has the convenience of canals, there is no problem with communication between the north and the south, if the sparsely populated south can produce a large amount of grain for the country, then, it is consumption, Datang can also be some of the surrounding countries that are eyeing the country to death, you know, fighting a war is fighting resources, when the productivity is improved, the reserve resources are unlimited, and the ethnic minorities who consume the energy of the Tang Dynasty?
