Chapter 11: The Banquet Ends

The dinner in the Lin De Hall lasted about two hours before it ended, and the low-level officials in the outer hall had already returned, so there were only a few dozen officials left in the inner hall, and the garden was full of vermilion.

Most of the servants from the government and county governments of various countries lead horses to wait for their masters in the outer hall, and a few older ones will have soft sedan chairs, the people in the Tang Dynasty are very strange, at this time they are particularly dignified, and they are unwilling to become livestock that carry people, even if they have signed a contract, if this kind of insulting thing appears, it is inevitable that they will be criticized by the scholars.

Even in the Song Dynasty, horses were scarce in the Great Song Dynasty, and those ministers preferred to ride ox carts and donkey carts to despise such insulting palanquins.

After all, filial piety comes first, and in the Han Dynasty, there was a law stipulating that the elderly could not be recruited without authorization, the elderly were abused, and the violators were abandoned and executed. Fifty people with prestige serve as the three elders, more than seventy are on an equal footing with the local county order, and more than eighty are 'old age, give a few battles, and eat porridge. ”

In later generations, the rural pension was only 70 yuan a month, which is actually quite sad, and it is not even as good as the pension system of the Han Dynasty...

"Grandpa Huang, Cheng Qian is gone." Li Chengqian took the hand of the eldest grandson Wuji, stuffed his mouth full of meat buns, and said vaguely.

The eldest grandson shook his head gently, patted Li Chengqian's forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, Chengqian is rude, please don't blame father-in-law, this weather is gradually getting colder, father-in-law is getting a lot older, add a few more clothes, pay attention to your body." ”

Li Yuan nodded, his eyes fixed on Li Shimin's back as he gradually left, and said, "Shimin, this is really a good emperor, did you just succeed to the throne and let the palace maid out of the palace?" It's really a benevolent move, except for a few of my concubines in Da'an Palace, the rest are only a few maidservants and eunuchs, and they are cold and terrible. ”

The eldest grandson Wujian stagnated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Why did my father-in-law say this, Your Majesty also... There is a hardship, this palace maid, the daughter-in-law will send someone to you tomorrow. ”

"Nope." Li Yuan shook his head and refused, looking up at the starry sky, the moon was like a hook and the night was like ink, and the stars were decorated brightly.

With his hands behind his back, he sighed: "The rights and wrongs of this world, the imperial power is deceitful, I have seen enough, and I have had enough, I don't want to say a joke of 'good head, who should cut it off' when I sit in the deep palace." ”

"Father-in-law! Why do you say that? The eldest grandson's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted in a low voice.

"The Queen Mother?" Li Chengqian looked at the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Yuan, who were still warm to his daughter-in-law just now, suspiciously, how could he eat meat and steamed buns, and such a big turning point?

He categorically couldn't imagine that Li Yuan's words of 'good head, who should be cut off' came from the mouth of the tyrant Yang Guang, who was scolded by Mr. Kong.

"I'm tired and want to change places to rest, this palace? I don't want to live anymore! Li Yuan raised his head and looked at the sky and said categorically.

It's time for his cheap son to stress a little!

Blindly flattering is a sign of weakness!

He first established a grandson relationship with Li Chengqian, and then through the bond of family affection with Li Shimin, he made his 'ruthless' stillborn, and then used the mouth of the eldest grandson to express his wish to leave the palace.

The power of the pillow wind is better than that of the father and son who are cold-eyed.

When Li Chengqian was still wondering why he had changed so quickly, he was shocked when he heard Li Yuan's words, "Grandpa Huang, you don't live in the palace?" ”

The palace is very good, but that is for a powerful emperor, for Li Yuan, an out-of-style emperor, how many people in the palace can listen to him?

It is said that in his later years, Li Longji had a problem eating in the palace, and if it weren't for Gao Lishi's desperate efforts to protect this former emperor, Li Longji might have become the first emperor to starve to death in this dynasty.

"Cheng Qian!" The eldest grandson Wujian tugged on Li Chengqian's sleeve and signaled him not to speak, and then said softly: "Father-in-law, daughter-in-law knows, Your Majesty, I will go over to persuade you, I only hope that my father-in-law..."

The remaining eldest grandson Wujian didn't say it, but the meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, he was afraid that Li Yuan would toss around, after all, this was the founding ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, and who could say who the Li generals in power would support?

For example, Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, is now the governor of Liangzhou and the assassin of Jinzhou, mastering the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou, and once passed through Bashu when the country was founded, captured more than 30 states, captured Zhu Cang, and attacked Xiao Liang in the south... Although there is Li Jing's bonus in it, Li Xiaogong's own ability is also very powerful, not much inferior.

Although Li Shimin held military power when he was the king of Qin, Li Jiancheng, who held power, was not afraid of him, because of the pressure of the crown prince's six rates and Li Yuan's prestige, Li Shimin was lucky and succeeded in a desperate fight.

But it doesn't mean that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are wastes, the former is the founding emperor's ability to endure for many years, and this skill is not comparable to ordinary people, and the latter is also the best to break out after suppressing Li Shimin for nine years.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the current Li Yuan, he is purely a lonely widow, even if the original Li Yuan has a secret hand, he doesn't know!

Li Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Of the four sons born to the queen, only Shimin is left... I'm getting old..."

"Daughter-in-law understood." The eldest grandson Wujian got up and gave a salute, and then led Li Chengqian away gradually.

Seeing the figure of the queen disappearing, the palace maid standing next to her reminded in a low voice: "Emperor Taishang, it's windy outside, please get on the sedan chair, you should go." “

I saw four young and strong eunuchs carrying out a luxuriously decorated soft sedan chair from the corner, which was similar to what Li Yuan had seen on TV, but it was much larger, much larger than those of the previous officials, about three zhang wide.

Walking in, I don't feel small at all, there are Hu stools, Hu tables, there are some dried fruit cakes on the table, the fruit bowl is woven with gold and silver filaments, and the soft collapse made of good cloud brocade can be used for people to lie on and rest.

There are delicate flowers and birds, landscapes, and auspicious patterns on the screen, and the most is the dragon, which makes people see at a glance that this is a royal item, not a luxury for the rich.

Li Yuan lay on the soft floor and squinted slightly, and softly shouted to the palace maid who was sitting upright next to him, "Okay, let's go." ”

It is said that those old sedan chair bearers will form a thick layer of calluses on their shoulders, and the bones will also be deformed, and finally form a groove that fits the wooden pole of the sedan chair.

This is roughly similar to the thick layer of cocoons on the soles of Camel Xiangzi's feet, which is already numb and cannot perceive pain.

Such a luxurious life will slowly corrode people's hearts, Li Yuan admitted that he suddenly liked his cheap second son at this time, and the palace maid in front of him was quite good-looking, so he asked softly, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine is called Huaping." The palace maid replied softly.

"Concubine? It seems that she is still a female officer. Li Yuan said secretly, thinking that the palace maid sent by his son was not an ordinary product, but he didn't expect it to be a female official.

But this female officer... There are only two fates for women in the palace, pampered and neglected.

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan closed his eyes and thought about what happened this day, this is his habit, what is good about doing things today? What's bad?

established a grandson family relationship with the emperor's grandson Li Chengqian, and then 'released the previous suspicions' with Li Shimin, and the relationship eased, and he used the mouth of the eldest grandson to express his desire to leave the palace...

Goldfinger opened two books, one origami, one pig-raising, and 23 points of invention were exchanged for 23 days of life, by the way, and the lottery center didn't see it!

Li Yuan woke up suddenly!

Ten invention points meet the conditions for opening the lottery center.
