Chapter 221: Leaving the palace to watch a play

With two ghosts, it didn't bring any trouble to Xu Qilin, and it didn't do any good. The bead was still on my wrist, but I didn't feel anything special.

As for who has become a ghost and a ghost has become a human, Xu Qilin has also revealed a few words, but Daya seems to know but doesn't tell him, Xiaoye is a fool, and when he asks, he blinks with big eyes and looks silly and cute.

Moreover, Xu Qilin also realized that his soul card was a good place for Daya and Xiaoye. The state of entering and exiting has indeed changed, not like squatting in prison, but like going to recuperate.

But Xu Qilin didn't use this as a threat, how old he is, there is time, and he is not in a hurry at all.

"You have to take the road, stop in Kaifeng, and help my sister do something!" Daya smiled, picked up the wine jug in front of Xu Qilin, and poured him a glass of wine.

"Something to ask me?" Xu Qilin raised his head, very proud, and squinted at Daya.

Daya rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, even if I beg you." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Okay, let's exchange fairly." ”

"For what?" Daya said disapprerovingly: "I'll tell you where the money is buried, it's simple." ”

"Do you think I'm a man who is short of money?" Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "In this way, I will ask you a question, and you can tell me well." ”

Daya frowned, as if pondering the pros and cons. Xiao Ye looked at Sister A, then at Xu Qilin, and said, "Just ask, if you don't know, don't blame us." ”

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and said, "If you know but pretend not to know, wouldn't that trap me?" ”

"I won't lie to you." Xiao Ye solemnly promised: "I didn't want to tell you before, this time it's not an exchange!" ”

Xu Qilin stared at Daya to see how she replied.

"Ask, ask!" Daya said angrily: "If you know, I will definitely tell you." ”

Xu Qilin thought for a while, pointed to the beads on his wrist, and said, "What good is this thing for me, why can't I feel it?" ”

……………..

Seven or eight days have passed, the theater is still hot, and the reputation is getting bigger and bigger, the streets and alleys are talking, if anyone doesn't know "Meeting" and hasn't been to the play, they are embarrassed to speak.

Qinglou Kabuki is also the most able to move with fashion, and the music singing in the play has also become the most common program for benefactors, and it is a shame not to be able to sing.

The female relatives of the powerful and wealthy families in the capital like this play the most, and the box is hard to find, and some people have watched two or three shows. The conversation between women is mostly about this topic.

Sister is so pitiful, she can't even go out of the palace to watch a play. Xiao Zhao blinked, staring at Sister A looking through the play, and she didn't like this royal palace even more.

"It's a well-designed play." Xu Hui put down the drama and said with a smile: "Even if you don't know the previous situation of this scene in advance, you can see it clearly." ”

Xiao Zhao nodded his little head and said, "As long as Your Majesty allows it, I will let the opera troupe enter the palace to perform for Sister A." Still, it's certainly not as good as it feels in the theater. ”

Xu Hui thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has not been in a good mood recently, let's talk about this matter in a few days!" ”

His Majesty Li Er tried his best to wash the floor for Li Chengqian, and did not mention anything about the left side, but Li Chengqian did not appreciate it. Because his heart was beheaded, he also had a temper and couldn't get sick. His Majesty Li Er doesn't say it, can he not be angry in his heart?

Xiao Zhao didn't know the inside story, and said: "The second brother also said that as long as His Majesty allows it, he will build a theater in the palace, and it will be no problem just for royal performances." ”

"Thisβ€”" Xu Hui shook his head, feeling that this matter was not very reliable. The key is that there are Wei Trolls, Cen Trolls and others, and they should advise His Majesty Li Er, don't be slow to enjoy themselves.

Xiao Zhao saw Sister Ah shaking her head, and couldn't help sighing, this is not good, that is not good, this palace is too unfree, and people are locked up to death.

Xu Hui couldn't help but smile when she saw her little sister's appearance, reached out and touched her little sister's head, and said, "Qi Lin has a letter recently, is he still in Luoyang?" ”

Xiao Zhao said: "It should be, the second brother bought a house and a shop in Luoyang, and started operating there." He also said that it was a good place and that he could stay for a while if he wanted to. ”

"Do you want to go?" Xu Hui asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Xiao Zhao said: "But forget it this year, I want to go there next year to spend the summer, it's not so hot." ”

Xu Hui nodded and said, "Well, I have a letter here, you ask the family to bring it to Qi Lin, don't be too tired, you must rush back before the New Year." ”

Xiao Zhao nodded and said, "Then I'll go to Her Royal Highness the Princess, she wrote a letter to the second brother, and the second brother replied, I'll send it to her." ”

Before Xu Hui agreed, he heard a crisp laugh from outside, and couldn't help pursing his lips and said, "It seems that you don't need to look for it, Her Royal Highness the princess has already come." ”

Xiao Zhao also heard it, jumped out of the chair, and ran out of the temple gate. Immediately, the laughter of the little girls came in.

After a while, Jinyang, Xincheng and Xiao Zhao jumped into the palace, greeted Xu Hui, and sat down to laugh.

"Did you ask Mrs. Zheng, when will the second part of the Legend of the White Snake be staged?" The son asked expectantly: "There are still the third and fourth parts, I won't wait two or three years to finish it!" ”

Xiao Zhao replied with a smile: "Mrs. Zheng said that the second part is being rehearsed, if it's fast, a month later; No matter how slow it is, it can be staged in two or three months. ”

"Preferably a month." Xincheng said: "Two or three months is also a long time. ”

"That can't be helped." Xiao Zhao said helplessly: "I have to perform during the day, so I have to spare free time to rehearse." Her Royal Highness also knows how many people are watching this play. If few people watch it, then it's better to stop the show and concentrate on rehearsals! ”

The son nodded and said, "We still want to watch it after watching it twice, and we can't let others watch it just because we have seen it." Xincheng, let's wait patiently. ”

Xiao Zhao took out the letter, handed it to his son, and said, "This is a reply from my brother, just for you." ”

The son took it with a smile, tore open the envelope casually, took out the letter and read it. She chuckled as she watched.

Xiao Zhao was curious, but it was not easy to get closer to see. Xincheng didn't care about that, slipped to his sister's side, and poked his little head to look at it.

Xu Qilin coaxed the child, of course, there is no secret, and the son doesn't mind the girl peeping.

Xu Hui drank the health tea, pursed her lips and smiled, and knew that it was the little brother who made the princess happy.

"Wow, Xu Xiaolang is going to take a boat to walk the Cao Road in a few days, there are many famous places along the way, and you can also see the prosperity of Yangzhou." The son let out an envious exclamation.

"He didn't say if he could come back for the New Year?" Xu Hui asked casually.

The son continued to look at the letter and said, "He said that he would finish the mission before the river froze, and he would still have to come back by boat." ”

Xu Hui nodded, and was just about to get up and go to the side hall to rest, when he heard a voice outside. She moved to the window, looked out, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is here." With that, she hurried to the gate of the temple to meet her.

His Majesty Li Er's face was not very good, and I don't know if it was embarrassing or something else. Seeing Xu Hui come out to greet her, he just waved his hand lightly, motioned her to get up, and stepped into the hall.

"The people have seen Your Majesty." Xiao Zhao bowed and greeted him in a proper manner.

"The child has seen his father." The son and Xincheng were not so formal, and they smiled and made a very casual salute.

"Excuse me, excuse me." His Majesty Li Er saw the three little girls, especially the two beloved daughters, his face turned pale, and he smiled.

is also a child, the son and the new city are extremely cute, they are the pistachios of His Majesty Li Er, and they are happy when they see it; But the crown prince Li Chengqian, who had high hopes, became more and more disappointed and sad for him.

killed Cheng Xin and implicated Shang Qin Ying and other left-handed people, I thought that Li Chengqian could be grateful and understand his painstaking efforts.

But as a result, Li Chengqian refused to go to court under the pretext of illness, apparently expressing his protest. That's not all, he also quietly set up a mourning hall in the East Palace, and from time to time to commemorate and pay tribute.

His Majesty Li Er was silent, but it didn't mean that he didn't know. He felt that the signs of separation between father and son had appeared, and he didn't want to stimulate Li Chengqian anymore, hoping that time would smooth everything out.

But in the end, he was still upset and angry. After all, His Majesty Li Er has made a bloody effort to cultivate this son. Since he was a child, he has found the best teachers, Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, and Li Gang, all of whom are great Confucians. He was also allowed to start learning how to handle political affairs early, and Li Chengqian did a very good job.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. His Majesty Li Er is becoming more and more disappointed with what Li Chengqian has done. Although it has never been revealed to the outside world, how can Li Chengqian become a qualified successor in the long run?

Xu Hui was busy letting the palace people serve tea and pour water, she was very good at observing her face, and knew that His Majesty Li Er was not in a very good mood, so she happened to be here to soothe it.

"Father, this is Xu Xiaolang's letter." The son raised his hand and said to his father with a smile: "There are a lot of interesting things in it, and he also said that he wants to go to Yangzhou!" ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Well, Qi Lin is very attentive and hard-working. He has a report, and I know he has to set it up before the start of next year's fortune. ”

Xu Hui smiled silently and served tea. The little brother got this comment, and she was also very relieved and happy, although she was a little distressed that the little brother was busy outside.

His Majesty Li Er took the teacup, pulled the lid of the bowl, gently sipped the fragrant tea, and bowed his head slightly, expressing his satisfaction with the tea.

"Father, Xu Xiaolang said that Luoyang is very good." The son said: "In summer, there is no Chang'an, and the heat is unbearable, and in winter, Chang'an is not cold and damp. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "In terms of climate, Luoyang is indeed better than Chang'an, but the palace is dilapidated, and it is difficult to live if it is not well repaired. ”

The relocation of the capital to Luoyang is ostensibly due to financial reasons, but in fact it also involves many complex factors. For example, Guanzhong is the place where the Juntian system is most thoroughly implemented, and the government military system is complete, which is the backbone of ensuring the stability of the imperial family.

If the capital is moved to Luoyang, the Guanlong Group will be the most uneasy for His Majesty Li Er. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty learned from the past, how could he repeat the mistakes of the past.

And the benefits of moving the capital are also obvious, at least the food problem will be solved.

Looking at the current development momentum, the imperial court will have an increasingly large bureaucracy, officials, soap officials, royal families, princes, princesses, and their many family members and servants, and the food needs of these people will continue to grow.

As the political center of Chang'an, there will be more and more visitors from all over the world, envoys of various ethnic groups and countries, merchants, cultural people, monks, and monks will continue to come to Chang'an for pilgrimage, sightseeing, trade, study, and Taoism.

As in the Sui Dynasty, the shortage of food in Guanzhong will become more and more serious. And the number of disasters in Guanzhong also annoyed His Majesty Li Er. What water, drought, locusts, that is often happening.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er wanted to move the capital, but he also had doubts and worries, and did not dare to implement it easily.

Now, Xu Qilin has reformed Caoyun and reduced freight, and the grain problem in Guanzhong can almost be solved. Da Yingku made more money and rebuilt the Luoyang Palace, which cleared another obstacle for the relocation of the capital.

When the Western Regions are pacified and the Western Turks are suppressed, His Majesty Li Er will turn his attention to Goryeo in the northeast, and also take this opportunity to improve the status of Luoyang.

If the military system in the Kwantung region is also in place, and then the population of Guanzhong is moved outward, or the Guanlong nobles are overthrown, His Majesty Li Er can implement the plan to move the capital, which is his dream. I just don't know if it can be realized in his hands.

Xiao Zhao lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to his eyes, thinking in his heart whether to ask His Majesty to let his sister go out of the palace to watch the play. When I think about it, I think it's very difficult. Even Jinyang and Xincheng have to go out through Princess Changle, let alone Sister A!

"Father, it's good to summon the troupe into the palace to perform." Xincheng thinks of something and says anything, even if he can't go out, he can have a lively time watching a play in the palace.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "But play that "Meeting"? Do you know that you've been in the business for two days, and you haven't seen enough? ”

Xincheng blinked his eyes wide, thinking that his father didn't know, but he was stunned for a moment when asked.

The son grinned and said, "Erchen has seen it, it's very exciting." But my father, and Xu Chongrong, I haven't seen it! ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled, her daughter was still sensible, and she knew that her father would also watch a good show.

Xiao Zhao's eyes rolled, and he felt that it was an opportunity, so he said: "If Your Majesty allows it, I will let the troupe stop performing for a day and enter the palace to perform for Your Majesty." ”

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment and said, "I have also heard that the theater is quite chic, the sound is clear, and there is any background and fireworks. Performing in the palace, I'm afraid it won't have that effect, right? ”

Hey, if you say that, you can go to the theater! The son looked at his father and looked forward to going out to play again.

His Majesty Li Er has been upset recently, and he doesn't want to let those trolls scare him again because of the summoning of the opera team into the palace. If the microsuit goes out, neither will the trolls know about it, but there will be hundreds of horsemen secretly guarding it, and nothing should happen.

Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er turned to Xu Hui and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai, would you like to go out of the palace with me to watch the play?" Now everyone in Chang'an City knows it, and they all say that the play is very good. ”

Xu Hui pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "The concubines are all arranged by His Majesty. ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and turned his gaze to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao immediately replied: "When Your Majesty will go, the folk girl will go back and arrange for the suspension of the performance, just for Your Majesty and Chong Rong Niangniang to perform." ”
