Chapter 281: The Emperor's Heart Is Lustful
Even bargaining to prove his innocence, all kinds of fear of death and all kinds of fear of pain, Li Su felt that Xu Jingzong would definitely not be able to do something too lacking in virtue, God gave him a heart that lacked virtue, but forgot to give him a lack of courage to lack morality.
Seeing that Li Su's face was the same, Xu Jingzong was a little relieved.
Hearing that Li Shimin gave his distant niece of the Xu family to Li Su in marriage, Xu Jingzong was frightened. The last time he married Xu Jingzong, he was behind his back, Li Su launched Chang'an's connections to dig deep into the details of the Xu family, Xu Jingzong had the heart to escape from Guanzhong at that time, and since then he has been clear about Li Su's bottom line and ability, and since then he has completely cut off the idea of marrying the Li family.
Xu Jingzong was indeed very innocent this time, he was worried about Li Su's IQ, he was afraid that Li Su would think that this time he was a ghost, so he was so scared that he tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, and he got up and came to Taiping Village at dawn.
Fortunately, Li Su's IQ did not disappoint him.
"Don't be suspicious, I believe you are." Li Su said with a smile.
Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Su carefully, and found that his face was as usual, and he couldn't see joy and anger, and he became more and more uncertain in his heart, so he had to say tentatively: "Thank you for your trust, it is said that Your Majesty's marriage will came in a bit hasty, and the lower officials are also members ......of the Xu family, but they didn't hear any news in advance, and suddenly made an order."
Li Su sighed: "Yes, the will is too sudden. ”
Xu Jingzong said: "Xiaguan knows that Li Jianzheng has a heart, and it is really inappropriate to have this family committee with the Xu family...... Give His Majesty a table, and resign from this family on behalf of the Xu family? ”
Obviously, Xu Jingzong said this kind words, just like a guest suddenly came to the house during dinner, and the host casually greeted, "Have you eaten?" Would you like to have a bite to eat? Very perfunctory politeness.
Who knew that Li Su's reaction was much more than Xu Jingzong expected.
Li Su's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay." Then I asked Xu Shaojian to give His Majesty a table, and excuse myself from this family business, please Xu Shaojian, I am waiting for your good news at home......"
"Huh?" Xu Jingzong was stunned, looking at Li Su with his mouth open.
This...... This is not according to the routine! Can you still have a good chat?
Li Su also helped him come up with ideas very seriously: "Xu Shaojian might as well say that the daughter of the Xu family has already promised to marry others, and the truth that one woman does not matter to the second husband will naturally understand." I believe that His Majesty will definitely take back his life. ”
"This ...... This ......" Xu Jingzong's old face suddenly turned red, his hand shaking slightly, and he looked helplessly at the sky outside the house.
To put it mildly, it was taken seriously, although I was very surprised by His Majesty's sudden marriage, but Xu Jingzong was not a fool, a few days ago Li Su and Princess Dongyang had a lot of trouble, and then Princess Dongyang was given to marry the Gao family, and then had to dissolve the marriage contract after suffering retribution, and Princess Dongyang also left home. Later, His Majesty suddenly married Li Su......
A series of dazzling events Xu Jingzong silently watched in his eyes, as shrewd as others, how could he not know how turbid the water inside was, if he dared to play this euphemism, the next day he would be thrown into the prison by the angry Majesty to reflect on why his life was so failed.
"It's still sunny when I go out in the morning, why is it snowing after a while? The lower official was rude and had to go back quickly. I'm afraid that the road will be closed when the snow is heavy, and the sky in Guanzhong is very evil......"
Xu Jingzong's face did not change, and he got up to say goodbye.
Li Su wanted to laugh. The sky is not evil, people are evil, and they like to talk about the sky when they make excuses, who is God recruiting?
"Sit down, sit down, tease your ......" Li Su stopped Xu Jingzong and gave him a blank look. said: "Isn't it okay to be sincere?" It has to be so hypocritical. ”
Xu Jingzong sneered and secretly made a decision...... Continue to be hypocritical in the future, but don't talk to this guy, it's too congested.
"Let's talk about it, what's going on with the daughter of the Xu family? I think the divorce was half a year ago. She hasn't been married for half a year? Li Su asked lightly.
Xu Jingzong smiled bitterly: "My distant relatives are businessmen, originally the status is not high, and then the neighbors heard that the Xu family was retired by the county, and said a lot of gossip behind their backs, her parents are more and more unable to raise their heads, and the daughter's relatives have been so delayed, I planned to go to the east and west cities of Chang'an after the beginning of spring next year to inquire, if there is a businessman from Jiangnan Province, Hedong Province, he will marry her, and his parents are here, not far away, but the Xu family has become a joke of the neighbors of Fangyuan, so he had to marry his daughter far away......"
Xu Jingzong's expression became strange: "...... Unexpectedly, the eunuch in the palace went to her house yesterday to announce the decree, and still promised the girl to the prison, and the person was not out of the cabinet before he sealed a seven-grade edict, and her parents were stunned for a whole day, and now they haven't come back to their senses. ”
Li Su was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "This matter is my fault, it was too blunt to withdraw from the family at the beginning, I didn't expect to bring so much trouble to the Xu family......
Xu Jingzong shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer.
Li Su sighed and said: "Marry, I tried every means to resist marrying again and again, I thought that I would have no chance with the daughter of the Xu family in this life, but I didn't expect that a will would tie me and her together after all, it seems that fate is destined to be fate, and it is useless to run far, this is another cause and effect." ”
Xu Jingzong saw that Li Su's face showed a sad and resentful look, and couldn't help but comfort: "Don't be sad about the prison, the matter between you and Her Royal Highness Princess Dongyang, the lower officials dare not say much, the lower officials are a few years older than the prison officials, and they can be regarded as people who have come over, there are so many women in the world, petite, weak, like to laugh, like to cry, thousands of postures, all kinds of styles, who does the prison want but can't get, you have to be obsessed with Princess Dongyang?" ”
"Because those women are not Dongyang!" Li Su replied coldly, his eyes swept towards him, and he said with a smile: "Xu Shaojian is a person who has come over, and the love pass is a hurdle, standing horizontally in front of him, what about you, step over, what about me, I am still in a hurry behind the hurdle, Xu Shaojian you beckoned to me at the other end of the hurdle, and said that you can jump over if it's okay, but I am timid and dare not jump, what if I fall into the pit?" Therefore, I understand the young eunuch's kindness, so you can let me fend for myself on this side of Kan. ”
Xu Jingzong rubbed his nose embarrassedly, and Li Su smiled: "Your distant niece married into the Li family, I will treat her with courtesy, and I will not let her be wronged, she is the wife of the imperial seal, and the Li family does not dare to be disrespectful to her. ”
Xu Jingzong was completely relieved.
Now it's all right. The Xu family finally climbed into a family affair with the Li family, and today's door to the Li family can be described as a "dream trip", with the relationship between Li Su, the day of being resurrected by His Majesty in the future may not be far away.
At this moment, Xu Jingzong had the same feeling as Li Su, the world is impermanent, and he didn't expect to go around in circles. Everyone has returned to the original www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion, but there is one more doomed reincarnation of cause and effect.
The purpose of coming to the door was achieved, Xu Jingzong got up and said goodbye, to be honest, Li Su was really not a good chat partner, and it was very tiring to chat with him.
Now Xu Jingzong is Li Su's wife and uncle, and Li Su politely sent him out of the door.
************************************************************
Li Daozheng asked the Taoist priest to calculate the date, and the marriage was scheduled for ten days.
The renovation of the princess's mansion is almost complete, and many craftsmen have been removed. A Taoist temple that combines elegance and grandeur quietly reveals its outline, and the outline becomes clearer and clearer every day.
The Li family was busy, anxious to purchase all kinds of supplies for family affairs, Li Daozheng also personally went to the door of the Xu family, and exchanged the children's birthday cards with the Xu family for the second time.
The family is busy with family affairs, Li Su really can't raise his enthusiasm, and squats on the side of the construction site of the princess's mansion every day, rain or shine. I watched a princess's mansion gradually turn into an elegant Taoist temple.
There is still no news from Dongyang, maybe she will not appear until the day the Taoist temple is completed.
…………
The efficiency of the family affair is fast. In the course of ten days, both men and women were full of mental manipulation and were busy with the outside world.
This is a family affair with a very strange atmosphere, the men and women are busy, but they don't see much joy, as if the two sides are just seriously doing something that His Majesty the Emperor asked them to do. Just get things done and do them perfectly.
The Li family felt that it was too hasty, and the Xu family felt inexplicable, and a marriage decree was smashed on the head for no reason, and the imperial power. Huangwei, these unattainable things, the Xu family finally touched it with their own hands, although it came so inexplicably.
As for the nature of the matter......
This matter has no essence, it is just a marriage forcibly bound by power.
When the Li and Xu families were preparing for their family affairs, Chang'an City did not stop.
This time the matter finally has nothing to do with Li Su.
As early as before New Year's Day, the court had a holiday, about half a month or so, the name is "Xiu Mu", on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor Xi à in the Taiji Palace to worship the ancestors after the official start of the court meeting and office, this period of time is regarded as a national holiday.
When the courtiers and magnates were preparing for the New Year at home, Li Shimin was also enjoying his life in the Taiji Palace, and the large bathroom and sauna room that Li Su made out were copied by Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace as they were, and the biggest pleasure every day was to go in and soak in it, and steam it.
Not only that, Li Shimin is also a very hospitable person, he does not eat alone, and he has probably been taught by Li Yuan since he was a child that good things should be shared with good friends, so he called the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing and other founding heroes to bathe together.
The bathroom of Taiji Palace is much larger than the Li family, and it is also a lot more luxurious, the bathroom is repaired in the side hall next to the Ganlu Palace, the light gauze and thin tent inside, the fragrance is warm like spring, there is a path after entering, the craftsmen are ingenious to pave it with luxurious opal, it hurts and itches to step on it with bare feet, but it is very comfortable to jump into the pool after the itching, including the bottom of the bath is also inlaid with various precious gems, the Tang army swept the world over the years, scared the lords of all the states to compete for tribute, and now most of the gems paid tribute by various countries are about half of them are inlaid in this newly repaired bathroom.
It's too luxurious, and when you enter the door, you feel dazzling, but Li Shimin is very proud, pulling the eldest grandson Wuji and others to show off and point, which country is this pearl offered, how many cities did my soldiers conquer him at that time, how many lands did I swallow, and which prince offered that gem, at that time, the border friction, I was so frightened that the lord of the country sent envoys into Chang'an overnight to kowtow and apologize......
Each gem seems to have a domineering and arrogant story, and this bathroom is simply an exhibition room for Li Shimin's personal exploits.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing began to smile, listening to Li Shimin's reminiscences of the past with great interest, and after seeing the jeweled and radiant bathroom, the smiling faces of the two finally stiffened a little, and they still maintained patience to listen to Li Shimin boast about how extraordinary his martial arts in this life were, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing did not dare to talk anymore, and let Li Shimin talk endlessly.
In the end, the achievements were finally praised, and Li Shimin was still unfinished. Inviting the two heroes to take a bath, such an affectionate invitation made the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing embarrassed, but Li Shimin was too enthusiastic, and the two couldn't refuse, so they had to take off their clothes in front of them, and the three of them jumped into the big bath naked. Be honest with each other.
It has been decades since the monarch and his ministers had never been soaked in a big pool like this, and today...... I seem a little shy.
The slightly hot pool water stimulates the increasingly loose and aging skin, and then looks around at the luxurious fairyland-like decoration, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing only feel uncomfortable, while Li Shimin is comfortably half lying in the pool, Li Su's enjoyment method is copied by Li Shimin as it is, and there is actually a large tray floating on the water, which contains fine wine and wine glasses. In the hearty place, the three of them poured themselves and drank it all themselves, and they were content.
In the end, Li Shimin stood up suddenly, no matter what the two heroes felt in their hearts, Li Shimin stood in front of the two of them completely naked, pointing to his slightly blessed belly, and sighed gloomily: "I have been fighting horses all my life, and merit and prestige have always been only taken on horses." Now that he has been on the throne for eleven years, he has a big belly. I'm afraid I won't be able to pull the strong bow anymore, and I won't be able to step on the war horse! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't know what Li Shimin wanted to express, so he had to comfort: "Your Majesty has been fighting for many years, and you have laid down an impregnable country, as long as you give an order, countless subjects and soldiers are willing to drive your Majesty." In recent years, His Majesty's martial arts have been far away from the former Sui Dynasty, comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and it is the merit of my emperor to create such a prosperous era with his own hands, so why do you have to pull a strong bow. What about riding a war horse? ”
Li Shimin was quite pleased with these words, and said with a smile: "Auxiliary machine, you say, in the eleven years since I ascended the throne, have I really created a prosperous era?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said without hesitation: "In the history books thousands of years later, His Majesty's reign will be called 'Zhenguan Shengshi' by future generations." ”
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Haha, what a 'Zhenguan prosperous age', eleven years later, I finally feel that this throne is firmly ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing didn't know what Li Shimin wanted to say, so they smiled and bowed.
The palace attendant handed over a towel, Li Shimin wiped the water droplets on his face, threw the towel back, and the waiter hurriedly caught it and respectfully retreated.
"Now that it's a prosperous age, I can breathe a sigh of relief, auxiliary, what do you want?"
The eldest grandson Wuji was confused, and said carefully: "Majesty xià means ......"
Li Shimin sighed: "In the first year of the former Sui Yining, I persuaded my father Emperor Jinyang to raise troops, but my father had no choice but to follow him, and a year later he seized the ...... of the world."
Eldest Sun Wuji and Li Jing's eyelids jumped a few times.
This seemingly ordinary sentence is very unusual today.
Before today, the statement that Jinyang raised troops was consistent with the Manchu Dynasty, that is, the king of Qin at that time "followed" the first emperor to raise troops, which has been written into the history books, but today, Li Shimin said that it was "persuaded" the first emperor to raise troops.
One is "follow", the other is "persuasion", one is passive, the other is active, and a sentence "the father has no choice but to obey it".
A small change of one word, the protagonist and supporting roles of the Jinyang army completely reversed the scene, and the exploits of Gaozu Li Yuan were completely erased by one word, and instead of it, how wise His Majesty is today, from the beginning of the Jinyang army to the present......
It seems to be an ordinary word, but it is very different in the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing, the heartbeat of the two suddenly missed a beat, and then they quickly glanced at each other, and a thought flashed in their minds at the same time.
I'm afraid that there is an intention to tamper with the history books!
The country is rich, the people are strong, the army is prosperous, and all nations come to the court...... He has done what the emperors of all dynasties want to do, and he has done it better than the emperors of any previous dynasty.
The name is just behind it.
Li Shimin wanted to create a god, and the "god" he created was himself, from the vision of a cloud and dragon looming in the sky when he was born, to all kinds of invincibility in adulthood, all kinds of anti-enemy opportunities, all kinds of wisdom and decisiveness, and then to create a prosperous era of Zhenguan more than ten years after ascending the throne......
Whether it is true or fake, Li Shimin needs this reputation, because this reputation can not only greatly satisfy his vanity as an emperor, but also benefit his rule without harm.
Tampering with history books, this matter is a bit strict. Others don't say it first, if Wei Zheng's stubborn old man knows, he will be the first to die in front of Li Shimin, and he may scold the faint king three times before he dies.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing did not dare to speak.
Today's monarch and ministers taking a bath is simply a Hongmen bath, Li Shimin's first sentence was testing the reaction of Changsun Wuji and Li Jing, seeing that the two did not agree decisively, Li Shimin was slightly disappointed, and then threw out the second sentence.
“…… Rong Ma for more than ten years, diligent for more than ten years, I have never failed you courtiers who have followed me to fight the country, nor have I failed the people of the world, such as today is safe, the country is rich and strong, I ...... I don't want to live up to myself anymore. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing suddenly felt very congested, and when they heard this tone, their majesty was going to be a moth again.
"I don't know what His Majesty means......"
Li Shimin looked around at the jeweled bathroom and sighed: "I am over forty years old, it's time to have some fun. ”
"Rebuild the Daming Palace?" The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Jing looked at Li Shimin in shock.
Daming Palace, located in the north of Chang'an, Longshouyuan, formerly known as Yong'an Palace, Zhenguan began to build in eight years, originally repaired to Gaozu Emperor Li Yuan for summer vacation, so Daming Palace is also called Summer Palace.
According to the drawings of the Ministry of Industry, the Daming Palace covers an area that can no longer be measured, but nearly eight miles in a square circle, that is, more than three square kilometers in later generations, the size of five hundred standard football fields, of which there are a total of 400 palaces and palaces, and countless pavilions and water pavilions, which shows how huge the project is.
At that time, eight years have passed since the Xuanwumen Change, but the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son has not eased, after all, Li Shimin not only killed his brother, but also forced his father to abdicate, this contradiction is impossible to resolve, Zhenguan eight years, Li Shimin decided to build the Daming Palace, to put it bluntly, it is actually to find a place for the Emperor Li Yuan to enjoy his old age, so that he can enjoy the life of a retired old cadre, of course, by the way, there is also a bit of surveillance and house arrest in it.
In short, it is to build a big house for you, and then throw countless gold, silver, jewelry and peerless beauties into it, Dad, no one cares about you in it, provided that you don't interfere in the affairs of the court and state affairs, and you will turn your face if you interfere.
As a result, the Daming Palace was repaired to the second year, and in May of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan died of illness, and the Daming Palace only repaired a silhouette, and the protagonists died, and the props were naturally not used, so the Daming Palace has been suspended until now.
