Chapter 718: The first trick is for carrots
Chapter 718 The first trick is to give carrots
With the eastward shift of the political center, Luoyang has shown a kind of imperial capital style, and even surpasses Chang'an in terms of population density. In this kind of spring, the children of rich families who are freshly dressed and angry on the road abound, and the horse teams of the nobles can also be seen everywhere, showing the prosperity of the world everywhere.
There is a way to be gentle and do not think about Shu in the township, therefore, in Luoyang, a rich and noble township, and then compare yourself with the barren, backward, or barbaric, or harsh climate of the place, because of the Chaoming Hall and gathered the royal clans inevitably have a lot of feelings. Even when the wine is drunk, this emotion will further evolve into complaining, and in the end, even the curse will come out.
"They are all the descendants of the Li family, why do they sit in the world and enjoy countless riches, we can only live that kind of hard life!"
"That is, if we enjoy a little bit of happiness, someone will secretly report something to oppress the people, and it is simply not allowed us to live a good life!"
"Hmph, what kind of family is Awu? But she was the daughter of a timber merchant, and not only did she sit on the back seat, but now her son became the emperor! Just because she also served Emperor Taizong......"
Before the words were finished, the person who spoke was silenced, and it was okay to complain, but if it was too outrageous, it was looking for death by himself. The several county kings who were gathering together to drink looked at me for a while, and then they all snorted together, and the guy who said the wrong thing drank a glass of wine with a weak heart. But it didn't take long for a group of people to start drinking and guessing boxing again, all of them looking like they were all nothing.
Although the methods of the martial arts queen are quite fearful, they are all clans and are the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty, and they dare not tamper with others! When drinking and drinking, some people played the Qin King breaking music of Emperor Taizong with great vigor, and the atmosphere of the scene was extremely lively for a while.
If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Empress Wu's eyeliner is naturally omnipresent, and the nagging words of the royal clan in these private gatherings have all reached her ears. Over the years, she has been pampered, her husband and son are obedient, and her tolerance has increased a lot compared to the past, but she can't tolerate this kind of accusation of her life experience anyway.
"Does anyone dare to come out of nowhere?"
She sneered, remembering Li Xian's plan a few days ago. The mood that was still a little hesitant suddenly calmed down completely. If you blindly give grace but have no coercion, and start with those notorious guys. It doesn't seem that she is ruthless, of course, before the birthday and Mingtang worship, she still needs to be patient - naturally. This is also the best time to gather evidence of the crime.
From late spring to early summer. Li Xian also became more and more busy. The war in the Northwest was very much in line with his heart. Pei Xingjian is an old man in the west, and he is not rashly carrying out strategic attacks, but he is sure that Tubo cannot fight for a long time, and he is stunned by the tug-of-war between you and me. And Murong Fu, who rushed to Tuyuhun to rescue in a hurry, used the skills learned from Liaodong to appease the Tuyuhun troops, and he barely put together an army of 60,000 people - the attack was insufficient, and he was more than capable of self-preservation.
Today's northwest seems to have become the scene of the last time Tubo attacked Tugu Hun land. The difference is that it has been eight years, Qin Ling is no longer the young man who was still a little young in the past, and his opponent is not Li Xian, who is more young than him. Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui are one east and one west. But it was like an iron wall that locked the offensive of Tibet.
Therefore, it is not the northwest that Li Xian needs to be busy with now. At this time, the transportation of food on the road is not a problem, and the equipment and clothing of the personnel are not a problem at this time, and the soldiers from top to bottom are full of high morale, especially those who have won the title of warrior in the past are full of ambition. A middle-aged man who recommended himself with a red scarf. Now he is also showing his talents to the greatest extent under Pei Xingjian's command.
This is an era in which all the people are motivated and strive for progress. Every day, at least hundreds of people arrive in Shangshu Province to make speeches, and the enthusiasm for governing the country is high in the hearts of countless people. And every official in the center is like a bearing with enough engine oil. It's going very well, even for the old screws who have retired. And what Li Xian needs to deal with now are those screws that have rusted inside.
"Liulang, don't you know how cunning the people of Tongzhou are, and they dare to resist just for the sake of paying taxes. What else do those officials say I robbed the people's women, bah, I am a dignified king, how can I look down on those ignorant women! "The person who said this was a character who was Uncle Li Xiantang in terms of seniority, and when he said this, he had a handful of snot and tears, which was called a sadness.
"Your Highness, I don't want to go to that place in Yizhou again! Even if the surname Liu is a thorn in history, why is he arrogant to me, the king of the county, what kind of thing is he, but he is just a subordinate of my Li family! I can't live that kind of life anymore, even if I am an apartment in Luoyang, it is better than being a don't drive in that kind of broken place! The man who said this was a small county king of Li Xian's generation, whose mouth was so wide open with anger that he could almost swallow a cow.
"Luzhou is indeed a good place, but it is close to Huaiyang, which is too extravagant and graceful, not suitable for men! Your Highness, even if I am transferred to Luozhou or a small county near Zhengzhou as a county leader, I really don't want to be this Luzhou Sima! The person who said this was a middle-aged heir, although he was not young, but there was a sonorous atmosphere in his words.
Compared with Li Xian's characters who have to be called Shuzu, these are undoubtedly just small roles, so he is clever and clever to deal with Yuru. And when it was the turn of King Yu's uncles, he put on a more kind and thoughtful face, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, so that the old people who had not experienced the warmth of the royal family for a long time were in tears. King Shu even took Li Xian's hand, so that he could not sadly trace the old things of the old ancestors, and the room was full of sighs.
Since these royal clans have come to Luoyang, of course they will not come alone, each of them is dragging their children and daughters, and even bringing countless concubines. Li Xian ordered someone to take them to visit the Chongwen Museum of the East Palace, which immediately aroused the interest of many people. When I saw Cao Wangming's two sons sitting upright, there were even more people who were moved.
As a result, someone's former sentence "My son will be handed over to you" has suddenly become the most popular word these days. The relatives of the emperor are all wondering, if their son follows the future prince, wouldn't it be a great better time to eat and drink spicy food? Only a few people sneered at those who flocked to it, such as Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo.
"Han King Yuanchang was not good friends with Cheng Qian in the past, but not only did he not reap the benefits, but he was also executed for Cheng Qian's rebellion. This national law was originally a person's law, don't look at Li Xian's current scenery, he is a prince and not an emperor after all. If you get too close to him now, you may end up with King Han in the future. Besides, do you think that he has been good to us vassal kings?
When several clans with good friendships met together in private, Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, said such a sentence, and it was regarded as a golden rule. However, there are impermeable walls in the world, and the clans don't like to hang themselves on a tree, so these words reached Li Xian's ears intact. His patience was much inferior to that of the martial queen, and he cursed in the study for a while, and when the next day came to the feast again, he seemed to be fine.
Even if he toasted in front of Huo Wang Li Yuanliang, he did not show the slightest discoloration.
June is one of the hottest times of the year, and the heat during the day is too much for even the most robust adults, except for the evenings, which are slightly cooler. Since this is Li Zhi's 50th birthday, the news was announced very early in Luoyang that the curfew would be lifted for three days from June 14, and the whole city would enjoy it. Therefore, the birthday feast was placed in the evening, and the worship was placed in the early morning, which became a sure thing, otherwise if another heat stroke incident was performed, it would undoubtedly lose face in front of the Chinese and foreign envoys.
Dressed in a crown, Li Zhi Yumingtang was congratulated by the emperor and hundreds of officials and envoys, and at that time, the tsunami-like sound of the mountain echoed throughout the Mingtang, which undoubtedly made the listeners all shake. Reliving the feeling of standing high in Jiuchen overlooking the world, Li Zhi, who has not asked about state affairs for a long time, only feels that his heart is magnificent, how can the whole person add three points of spirit? Patiently waiting for the ministers to finish congratulating, he received the envoys of the foreign vassal and their tributes and gifts one by one, and his face naturally rippled with a joyful smile.
As for what people are sending...... At this time, even if the peasant woman sends chickens and ducks, she is happy, and he still cares about this! And because Li Zhiwu and his wife have been one over the years, the martial queen who was also congratulated in Yumingtang is also complacent, but compared to her complacent husband, she is more reserved, and exchanges glances with Li Xian from time to time.
Not many people have seen this small action, but because there are not many people who have seen it, the few people who have noticed it are inevitably alert. So, at the end of this worship and dance, when the ceremonial officer took out a long scroll and was about to issue the many rewards of the year as usual, there was definitely more than one person who was shocked.
"Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, is the captain, Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, is the Situ, and the king of Jinyu is the same as the three divisions......"
A series of three public rewards flowed out like this, and countless people were dumbfounded. Although the concurrent role of the royal family as the third prince is only a form, this form is always better than nothing. However, while Li Yuanjia was happy, Li Yuanliang gradually felt that something was wrong in his heart. As the saying goes, no merit is not punished, although he has made few achievements in Xiangzhou over the years, it seems that he is not going to accept this Situ position, right?
After all, compared to his son and brother, the uncle of the Emperor Taishang is already a distant relationship.
