Chapter 115: Outside the Long Pavilion
Xingqing Palace, the incense burner rises and curls green smoke, the sound of drums resounded throughout Chang'an, the annual Qianqiu Festival began, in the majestic imperial city, the bell rang nine times, shook to the top of the clouds, trying to attract the immortals in the sky to come together, and go to this grand festival together.
Among the hundred officials, the left and right are in the first place, Li Shizhi was drunk and hazy, and under the instigation of Li Linfu intentionally or unintentionally, he decided to make a statement to His Majesty on this grand festival that the gold mine of Huashan should be mined.
This move was in Li Linfu's arms, and a poisonous plan was born.
After finishing speaking, Li Shizhi also fell drunk in the Yaochi Hall of Xingqing Palace, taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Linfu spoke again, and at the same time threatened Chen Liexi with his eyes to state Li Shizhi's wrongness together, bringing things to the extreme.
Huashan is the location of His Majesty's dragon vein, the mountain of Datang luck, if the gold ore of this mountain is mined, it is equivalent to pouting the dragon vein, discouraged luck, it is really a move to damage the country.
Hearing this, the saint who was originally happy for his birthday couldn't help but be depressed, and although he didn't have a seizure on the spot, he dismissed the left minister the next day and promoted Chen Liexi, the imperial historian, to the left minister again. Since then, Chen Liexi has been the left minister in the court, the head of a hundred officials, but in fact, the power has fallen into the hands of Li Linfu, so his power has also faintly reached its peak.
In the long pavilion outside Chang'an City, a group of people are setting up a banquet to say goodbye.
"Li Zuoxiang!" Wu Yueya stood with her fists clenched, her cloak was a little messy in the wind, and she had only been drinking with the Eight Immortals for a long time, and now she was parted, "I have also heard about the Yaochi Palace, and it is indeed inappropriate to be drunk and lose words!" After that, I also went to find my stepmother to find out, and the saint is still haunted! And I think there is still something strange about this matter, with the temperament of the left minister, it should not be such a thing! ”
"Hahaha! Hey, life is fickle, the world is unpredictable, Li thanked the princess for her concern, and now he is no longer the left minister, and the court dispute has nothing to do with Li, who is in a high position all the year round, and he is also tired! It's not bad to take this opportunity to get out and leave! The rosacea old man said optimistically and cheerfully, seeing the princess's worried look, he finally spoke, "Actually, all this is Li Linfu's calculation, to be honest, Li Mou didn't calculate others less when he was an official, and it is natural to be calculated now!" ”
"It's this guy again!" Wu Yue Aya glanced at it and thought about it, it was not him who was the left minister now, why did he act like this?
"Princess, some things are good to stand on the outside, the situation in Chang'an is not as simple as imagined, if there is anything in case, just follow Princess Yuzhen and travel overseas all year round! At least you can protect yourself! ”
The rosacea-nosed old man looked a little like a prime minister when he got serious, and when he heard the words of warning, Wu Yueya smiled slightly, maybe, the place where he settled down seemed to have been settled in Qujiang Pond in Chang'an, and this place could be regarded as a home! I'm afraid I can't do without it.
"Thank you for the teachings of the left minister!"
"It's all said that it's not the left phase..."
In the long pavilion, He Lao, Zhang Xu, Li Bai, etc., all the eight immortals were present, and no one thought that the first to leave Chang'an would be Li Shizhi.
In addition to being reluctant, Li Bai was even more crazy when he was drunk, insinuating all the time, saying that His Majesty was already mediocre, let the traitorous ministers take charge, and the left minister left, and the court forces in Chang'an might have to be reshuffled.
Folding willows to say goodbye, everyone sent a poem to Li Shizhi, expressing the meaning of reluctant to let their friends go.
Wu Yueya stood outside the pavilion, looking at the distant carriage and the falling sunset on the long ancient road, her heart was somewhat stunned, but it was only for a moment, maybe as Li Shizhi said, leaving Chang'an is his best destination!
When I returned to the princess's mansion, it was already completely dark.
Sitting quietly in the garden, stroking the white tiger, under the sallow lamplight, Du Fu asked to see, and he came straight to the point.
"Princess, Du Fu watched them do business for a few days, and always felt that as the book said, it was just for profit, doing that unfair thing and earning the cheap price, there was nothing worth emulating, Du Mou really found it difficult to accept the princess's arrangement! I hope the princess will make a new arrangement! ”
Touching the ears of the white tiger, he already knew Du Fu's reaction, looked at Du Fu indifferently, and said calmly, "Farming and raising livestock are all for profit!" ”
"Princess, you can't explain it like that!" Du Fu opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, and responded.
"It is also a kind of transaction for people to obtain the benefits of survival from nature, and there seems to be nothing wrong with people using these benefits obtained from nature to exchange with others for greater benefits, and it is the same for officials, you lead Yulu to seek benefits from the people, and at the same time occupy a high position to seek benefits for the people and become a good official, your starting point is always interests! So it's normal for interests to be a thing, and the world is made up of all kinds of interests, how about it? Is there a problem? ”
"This..."
Du Fu was dumbfounded, it is true, the so-called survival of life, even friendship is a kind of interest, he has no way to object to the princess's words, but he can't completely agree with it.
"Of course, from the perspective of businessmen, the benefits they seek are good and bad, but they can promote the development of some things, such as if they want some ordinary people to live better, then everyone will become businessmen, and they can drive the development of the economy, speaking of which, you may not understand!"
"Du really can't understand that businessmen can drive economic development, and Du still can't agree with his knowledge over the years!" Du Fu noticed the light of wisdom shining in the princess's eyes, and still truthfully said the conclusion in his heart.
"A small range of nature is not good, a large range of guidance is OK, businessmen are the cornerstone of promoting national strength, you say that you can't agree with the problem of farming, if everyone goes to business, then who will farm to feed these people, in fact, everyone can farm, while farming to do business, so that you can get rid of the oppression of the gentry, you know? There are so many refugees because they don't have land, and they can't support themselves and they are displaced! This is also the conclusion I have come to after recalling what I have learned and investigated! ”
"Du seems to understand that the people don't have food to feed themselves, and they don't have enough land to grow food, but does this have anything to do with business?" Du Fu's mood calmed down a little, the reason why those homeless beggars starved to death on the streets or went out to dig grass roots and gnaw tree bark was because there was no land, so it would be like this, so it would be good to reform the land.
"That's because farming is the cornerstone of doing business, and if you can't even eat yourself, what do you sell it for? Only trading, communicating with each other is the best way to survive, isn't it? In winter, I can eat dried fruits from Lingnan, which is all the credit of businessmen! Farming solves the problem of food and clothing, and business solves the problem of development! It is a high-quality standard of living that takes a step closer to food and clothing! Only when the people live and work in peace and contentment will the country become strong! ”
"Du seems to understand the causal connection, but if these princesses are to Your Majesty..."
"The left minister has been deposed!"
Du Fu stood far away from the back of the princess leaving, pondered this sentence carefully, and understood in his heart, it turned out that the princess had already had this intention, but it was only because Zuo Xiang, one of the eight immortals, was degraded, that it could not be implemented, after understanding, Du Fu decided to continue to go to the Journey to the West Restaurant to take a look, maybe he could find the node that the princess said, and at the same time find the answer to Brother Taibai's worries.
On the other hand, the bad people in Chang'an City went around to find out the situation, almost turned over the whole of Chang'an, the bad marshal and the other two commanders didn't sleep for several nights, they couldn't find the missing Qingyu and Lemeng, and they disappeared in Chang'an, and Zhang Heng also realized that something was wrong with the means of Manichaeism.
The two undercurrent forces of bad people and Manichaeism collided violently under the dark night of Chang'an City, which side was the master of the dark night of Chang'an? Read the latest chapter of "Steamed Tang Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
