Chapter 25: Kindness? Li Qing?
After breakfast, the three of them were not in a hurry, they were used to seeing the prosperity of Chang'an, and they also wanted to experience the customs of the town, and they wore clothes and accommodation; Although Li Qing understood that time was pressing, Wei Zhaoxun's words also reminded Li Qing, who was originally full of ambition, that since Emperor Xuanzong appointed him as the envoy of Jiannan Dao, he must be the only existence in the armies of Jiannan Dao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But calm down and think about it, after all, the army is not as good as other places, appointment is one thing, but whether the generals and soldiers below listen to your dispatch is another matter, there is no real power, even if you are a marshal, but if the soldiers below do not listen to orders, then your power is probably not as good as a small centurion.
Although Wei Zhaoxun is now in name only and is not a general in power, he is from the military system after all, and his understanding of things in the army is naturally far from being comparable to that of a layman like himself. Therefore, Li Qing deliberately slowed down his speed of travel, leaving more time for himself to think about how to deal with future problems.
Anyway, Emperor Xuanzong's purpose is just to keep himself away from Chang'an, as for his own speed of progress, it is not in Emperor Xuanzong's consideration at all, what he cares about should be Yang Guifei's mood at this moment, as well as military affairs, a down-and-out prince is not in his eyes, even if this person used to be his favorite child.
Therefore, when Wei Yanyu and the two proposed to go around the town, Li Qing agreed without hesitation, only to move the two women beside him to a mess, if the two of them knew what Li Qing was thinking, God knows if they would strangle Li Qing to death.
The town in the morning is very lively, not as calm and desolate as yesterday evening, the shouts of the hawkers, the shouts of the tavern tea shopkeepers, and the bargaining voices of passers-by are intertwined into a lively song of people's life, I don't know if it is because of the proximity to Chang'an or something else, the liveliness of the town is beyond the imagination of the three people.
Wei Yanyu is okay, walking quietly beside Li Qing, although she also lowers her eyes and chuckles from time to time, but compared with the little girl Xuan'er who chirps on the side and does not stop for a moment, it is simply a small thing, and it is not the same.
Although the people who came and went were very amazed by Wei Yanyu's stunning face, there was no robbery of the people's daughters, it is possible that they saw that the three of them were all dressed in brocade clothes and precious satin, and they were expected to be from an extraordinary background, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble for Li Qing. can be so idle, Li Qing is also happy.
Although Li Qing has never been afraid of challenges, but the undoubted dispute will only consume too much energy of Li Qing, so that Li Qing can not concentrate on completing the dream in his heart wholeheartedly, more ants can bite the elephant to death, and want to believe in the lion fighting the rabbit, Li Qing, who will do his best, will naturally spend more energy.
Li Qing is happy from the bottom of his heart to be able to let go of Xuan'er so freely, and after the depressive life in Chang'an City, he is now taking this opportunity to spit out the melancholy and depression in his chest; The perennial depression has long made Li Qing's heart very tired and on the verge of being broken.
Enjoying the daily life of the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty all the way, the two girls who are used to court life are full of curiosity and freshness, Li Qing is okay, after all, Li Qingzhen in his previous life is a common man, and he is not surprised by the scene in front of him, but gives birth to a sense of intimacy.
"Little beggar, get out of here, don't go again, break your dog's leg!!" A loud scolding voice attracted the attention of the three people.
Looking in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a middle-aged man with a thin body with a sharp beak monkey cheeks looking at him with a longing look on his face, and a dirty little boy about ten years old shouted and scolded loudly, without any mercy.
Looking at the slap he raised, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people, I am afraid it would have already fallen on the little boy's face.
"Uncle, please be good, give me a bun, grandma hasn't eaten for three days", the little boy didn't seem to notice the disgust on the middle-aged man's face, and pleaded with the middle-aged man even more earnestly.
Of course, Li Qing and the three of them were not the only ones who saw the scene in front of them, and in a short moment, the originally spacious street was surrounded by a crowd of people watching the excitement, and the cars and horses were blocked.
There are sympathizers, even more laughers, and more people are numb and have no expression, as if they are afraid that others will not know that they are a spectator.
Wei Yanyu, who was beside her, looked at Li Qing's indifferent face, without the slightest intention of making a move, and finally couldn't bear it, shook Li Qing's arm, and said softly: "Can the prince help him, Yanyu thinks he is very pitiful, after all, he is still a child!" ”
Regarding Wei Yanyu's request, Li Qing naturally couldn't refuse. As if thinking of something, Li Qing said slowly to the beautiful woman beside him: "There are many people, call me Brother Qing outside in the future, of course, if you don't mind!" ”
A woman's heart is the softest, Wei Yanyu naturally can't avoid it, Li Qing, who didn't want to make a move, heard Wei Yanyu's heartfelt unbearability, and then thought that this was the first time that the beauty next to her made a request to herself, Li Qing naturally couldn't bear to refuse!
Li Qing is not a savior, let alone Noah, the responsibility of saving the world should not fall on him, even if Li Qing wants to continue the glory of the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of his heart, after all, this was once a dream that countless Chinese children could not let go, but if the price of completing this dream requires paying for the people around him (for example, Wei Yanyu's life), Li Qing will not hesitate to abandon it!
From the numb eyes of everyone, Li Qing can naturally find that although the Tang Dynasty is still prosperous, it has long been decayed, and it is difficult to restore the grand scene in the Kaiyuan period.
Those who are officials do not think about the suffering of the people, accept bribes, form parties for personal gain, and form gangs and factions; The wealthy aristocrats live a luxurious life, wantonly enclosing land, ignoring the lives of the people, colluding with the powerful, and doing all kinds of evil; The rulers of the Tang Dynasty only knew pleasure and did not want to forge ahead, and were obsessed with women, and now the Tang Dynasty is just a grand and prosperous paper tiger covering up a terminally ill paper tiger, and what is missing is just a fuse.
The reason why today's Datang can maintain the superficial prosperity is only because the people of the world are oriented to the Tang Dynasty and still have a glimmer of hope for the rulers, hoping that they are just confused for a while, thinking that they will be lost, recreate the glory of the Tang Dynasty in the past, and restart the prosperity of Zhenguan Kaiyuan. It's just that it's obvious that Datang is destined to let them down.
Today's Emperor Xuanzong has long since lost the spirit of hard work and innovation, as the son of Emperor Xuanzong, Li Qing still knows his father very well.
Li Qing held Wei Yanyu's hands tightly, looked at the beauty in front of him tightly, and said flatly: "Do you think that your family Shouwang is very indifferent, indifferent and impersonal!" The flat tone is mixed with sadness that is difficult to hide, and people can't help but feel sad.
Listening to Li Qing's gradually cold tone, Wei Yanyu grabbed Li Qing's sleeves tightly with both hands and said nervously: "No, no... In Yanyu's heart, King Shou is the most important, everything else is insignificant compared to you, Yanyu has caused you trouble・・・・・ there is an unconcealable tension between the words, as if he is afraid that Li Qing will throw his sleeves away."
patting the trembling shoulders of the beautiful woman, Li Qing gave Wei Yanyu a reassuring look and stepped forward・・・・・・
However, at this moment, the scene changed suddenly, and the little boy was begging the little boy in a low voice, seeing that the middle-aged man was so hard-hearted, so he took advantage of the middle-aged man's inattention, and took a bun in the middle-aged man's cage with agility, turned around and rushed outside・・・・・・
Seeing that the little boy was so bold, it was very unexpected by the middle-aged man, but after all, taking advantage of his wealth, the middle-aged man quickly grabbed the little boy, raised his hand and slapped it, until the little boy's original bloodless face and lacked nutrition were red like blood, and in a moment, the little boy's face was swollen, and the corners of his mouth were also bleeding blood!
It is enough to imagine how ruthless the middle-aged man was when he shot just now, and he did not show any mercy because the other party was a child, but what was very surprising was that after suffering such a heavy blow, the little boy did not cry loudly as everyone imagined, but looked at the culprit calmly, but those clear eyes were mixed with a chilling hatred・・・・・・
I don't know whether he was shocked by the little boy's eyes or in order to hide his unbearability, the middle-aged man hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Little beast, hurry up and kneel down for me!" As he spoke, he wanted the little boy to kneel in front of him, as if to save his manly dignity.
It's just that the little man's backbone is beyond everyone's expectations, no matter how much the middle-aged man coercies, the little boy just doesn't give in, just doesn't kneel, and still looks at the middle-aged man with hatred in his eyes!
Seeing that the little boy was so faceless, the middle-aged man involuntarily raised his slap and was about to hit the little boy, just when everyone was waiting to hear the palm and face contact, the sound was made, but the imaginary sound did not come out, because a hand stopped the middle-aged man from blocking the trajectory of the middle-aged man's palm.
The person who made the shot was naturally Li Qing, stopping the middle-aged man, Li Qing said slowly: "Why should this old brother be angry, even if this child is not big, the old brother can't be embarrassed by a child on the street!" This may also be a blow to your reputation! ”
Originally, the middle-aged man who saw someone stopping him and was about to get angry noticed that Li Qing was dressed in brocade and his speech and demeanor were elegant and extraordinary, and naturally thought that Li Qing was a wealthy and powerful person, and the original anger dissipated, but if he retreated just because of the young man in front of him, he would inevitably lose his face a little too much!" So the middle-aged man at this moment is very hesitant, neither is he going to advance, nor is he going to retreat!
As if discovering the middle-aged man's hesitation, Li Qing asked very cheerfully: "How about the elder brother, little boy, how much is the bun you take, how about the younger brother compensate you at the original price?" "In this way, presumably brother, there should be nothing to hesitate about! There is a threat in the words that is difficult to hide, fear of trouble, it does not mean that Li Qing needs to keep his voice down, Li Qing's patience is limited, especially when facing a shameless person like a middle-aged man.
Seeing Li Qing regressing like this, coupled with Li Qing's faint threat, the middle-aged man said that it didn't matter, as for letting Li Qing compensate for the original price, the middle-aged man didn't have the guts, although it was just a few words of conversation, but the middle-aged man could also find that the young man in front of him was not as good at talking as his appearance, if he really kicked his nose in the face, I am afraid that he would be bitter at that time.
The people do not fight with the officials, and the middle-aged men who have been in the market all the year round are naturally well aware of this truth of life and practice it. The young man in front of him is obviously either rich or expensive, and the middle-aged man is not brain-dead, and he can't offend such a powerful person for a bun!
So a turmoil was casually resolved by Li Qing! Since the middle-aged man doesn't want compensation, Li Qing can't shoehorn it into him, after all, Li Qing is also very short of money to spend!
