Chapter 657: Li Liulang thinks diligently, and Emperor Li thinks about summer vacation
Lee Hyun has always been a lazy person. Of course, he is not without a flash in the pan of diligence. I think that when he first caught Li Ji, the master, no matter how much Li Ji tossed and wanted him to retreat, he was stunned and persevered, and it was ten years all at once. After that, he chased Qinling and ran directly to Liangzhou, but encountered the Northwest War. volunteered to go to Goguryeo to supervise the battle, but by mistake, he also went to the battlefield and walked around.
To this extent, it's not that he can't afford to suffer.
However, being able to endure hardship does not mean that Li Xian is willing to endure hardship. At heart, he is a person who is greedy for pleasure. It is only when there is imminent pressure on this enjoyment, or when relatives and friends are compromised, that he explodes. When he didn't break out, his lazy posture was enough to make everyone who knew him hate it.
Therefore, after working overtime until the curfew last night, neither Shangguan Yi nor Hao Chujun had the luxury of expecting Li Xian to attend on time today---- in other words, even if he could come to the court, this would be a rare result. So, when Li Xian came to the Tianjin Bridge with a refreshed face and greeted the officials with a smile, the eyes around him fell to the ground.
Shangguan Yi rubbed his old and dizzy eyes there several times, and then pulled Hao Chujun's sleeve: "Am I mistaken, he actually waited at Tianjin Bridge before dawn today?" "You read that right." Hao Chujun smiled bitterly, quite a feeling that the sun came out of the west, "I think he may have been stimulated by something last night, and he just appeared early in the morning." I bet with you that he will definitely make a fuss at the court today, do you believe it or not? ”
Shangguan Yi Hao Chujun whispered there, and Liu Zhi, who was in the prime of life on the other end, joked with Li Xian: "Your Highness is here so early today." You see, everybody's scared of you. Hurry up and breathe, what's the big deal? ”
Lao Tzu is rare to be diligent, can't he be diligent? Li Xian rolled his eyes angrily, and seeing that Pei Yan, who was not smiling, was also staring at him like an alien, he simply glared back directly, and walked leisurely to a group of young officials. Saying that he is young, he can actually be among the officials who can live every five days. To be young is also limited, generally less than forty is the minimum threshold. So he stands out from the crowd at such an age.
In the early morning of midsummer, the sun rose into the sky early, and the Tianjin Bridge could not be covered, and there was no way to block it, and there was gradually a kind of dry heat in the crowd. Li Xian was originally anxious, and he was afraid of heat and cold all his life, so he couldn't help but take out the folding fan he carried with him and shook it a few times. As soon as he started like this, the others couldn't help it, so. On the Tianjin Bridge, there is a folding fan in Hulala, there are landscapes, flowers and plants on it, and there are beauties, which is a good scenery.
Compared with folding fans, which are easy to place, those group fans and feather fans in the past could not be brought into the office space of the palace. From this point of view, Li Xian's promotion is undoubtedly of great significance.
Shangguan Yi Hao Chujun and other veteran ministers were still self-conscious at first, and they were reluctant to join the ranks of shaking folding fans, but their foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat. They had to follow suit, and they couldn't help but curse the guards who were in charge of clearing the customs and letting them go---- a hot day. Will you die a quarter of an hour early?
In the silent curses of countless people, the level of Tianjin Bridge was finally opened. Several of the Yulin Army guards were so busy that they didn't even notice the fierce glint in the eyes of the officials passing by. And Li Xian, who was at the forefront, couldn't help but wonder in his heart, should daylight saving time be implemented this year, so that everyone can bask in a little less sun?
When will this damn summer pass!
It's not just Li Xian and the officials who have been outside in the sun for a while who are thinking about this problem. There are also people in Luoyang Palace who are thinking about this problem. Li Hong is fragile and afraid of cold and not afraid of heat. But this refers to the ordinary heat, and this kind of day is a bit unbearable. Not to mention Li Zhi and Empress Wu. Last night's passion turned out to be a sweat, and after bathing at dawn, now it is sweating again, how can this kind of life be lived?
There are no trees planted near the Xuanzheng Palace, so naturally you can't hear those endless cries of knowledge, but even so, the hot weather still makes most people lose their spirits. In addition, according to the previous structure, now Li Zhi, the emperor, is dealing with military affairs, and when there are no military affairs, people want to harass the emperor less.
However, Li Xian, who had been listlessly making clay puppets at the court meeting, did not know where the spirit came from on this day, and suddenly raised a series of issues.
The first is a very common issue, the granting of ice to ministers---- which was easily passed due to the fact that the amount of ice stored in the royal family has increased considerably, and even benefited low-grade officials; The second is also a common topic, that is, the summer high temperature subsidy in the imperial court, which is generally issued with rice or copper coins for clothing, because the previous relationship has not been issued yet, Li Xian has to come forward in person to urge it; As for the third item, it is to deploy heatstroke prevention and cooling work.
Just now, when he was waiting on the Tianjin Bridge, he casually looked around and asked around, and was stunned to learn that there are not a few officials who are recuperating at home after the heat these days, and among the officials waiting at the Tianjin Bridge, there seem to be many who are struggling to fall to the ground. Let's just say that at this time, when discussing politics in the Xuanzheng Palace, a group of people are really sweating like rain, not to mention the bleak situation.
As the Supreme, Li Zhi is considerate of his subordinates, at least he thinks so. So, he immediately nodded loudly, and immediately began to ask Li Xian if he had any suggestions for improvement. When he heard that the Tianjin Bridge would be opened as soon as possible in the summer, he couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression, but finally nodded happily--- by him, the emperor, to issue such an edict, he can undoubtedly receive the evaluation of his subordinates, why not?"
Taking advantage of his father's happiness, Li Xian almost wanted to propose that everyone simply take a summer vacation, but fortunately, he still had a little sense, and he knew that this kind of crooked idea was absolutely unacceptable. If this state institution is on summer vacation, it will be a lot of fun! While there was still time left, he proposed a package of heatstroke prevention work, and even proposed to install a horsepower-driven fan on the Xuanzheng Palace. These suggestions popped out of his mouth one after another, and countless people were stunned when they heard it.
Shangguan Yi finally exchanged a look with Hao Chujun at this moment, and that look seemed to say, you guessed it accurately, Li Xian was indeed very excited and excited today. Although there was a hint of relief in his heart, it was completely impossible for him, the chief prime minister, to stand up and echo Li Xian's bizarre practices.
Compared with the pitiful salary of civil servants in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, although the salary of Tang officials is a grade worse than that of the later Song Dynasty, it is also quite considerable on the whole. And the emperor's kind care for his subordinates is also famous. Emperor Li Zhi approved many of Li Xian's proposals in one go, which also moved the hearts of many officials.
In this kind of thing, Empress Wu is not good and does not want to steal the limelight from her husband, so she just sits upright, occasionally glancing at the expression of the emperor's son. Unexpectedly, Li Hong sat there happily, which made her surprised, but also infinitely emotional in her heart. I have to say, if this is replaced by someone else, seeing that Lao Tzu who has abdicated has not forgotten to win people's hearts, he can't help but show his dissatisfaction, where is he so comfortable?
Just as the Empress Wu at the top was thinking about these things, Li Xian at the bottom was overjoyed that his suggestion was adopted, but unexpectedly, Li Zhi suddenly threw out a sudden suggestion.
In view of the fact that the weather is too hot, he wants to move to Jiucheng Palace with Empress Wu to escape the summer---- of course, Li Hong, the emperor, and Li Xian, the prince, have to stay. The escort only brought a few Hongwenguan bachelors and literary attendants, and the others stayed in Luoyang to stick to their posts.
This was really a thunderous proposal, and it was not only the Empress Wu who was shaken, but the others were also shocked. This has to be opposed, everyone knows that Li Zhi's health is not the best, so it is also appropriate to recuperate and escape the summer, after all, Emperor Li has abdicated as Emperor Li in the past; But if that's in favor......
All of a sudden, countless eyes focused on Li Xian's face, as if to see whether the prince was in favor or against, but Li Xian's reaction this time was slower than anyone else's, and he stood there in a daze and didn't come back to his senses. No one knew that he was not willing to come back to his senses at all. At this moment, he had everything in his mind.
Just now when he saw his father and mother appear harmoniously, he thought that the small contradiction between the two people had been solved, but now it seems that this is far from the case. It's a good thing to escape the summer, but looking at this posture, if Dad doesn't go to Jiucheng Palace to rest for three or two months, he will definitely not come back. Doesn't it mean that Empress Wu also has to stay away from the center of the imperial court for three or two months? This kind of thing, will my mother agree?
Sure enough, before anyone could answer, Empress Wu suddenly smiled and said: "This midsummer in Luoyang is indeed too hot, and it is also the right thing to go to Jiucheng Palace." However, the emperor is also weak, and he lives in this palace city, so it is inevitable that he will suffer from heat stroke, so why not drive the Jiucheng Palace together? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall. The two surviving generations of emperors of the Tang Dynasty are all in poor health, and they want to oppose the emperor going to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, which seems to be suspected of ignoring the Holy Body. Even Emperor Li, who had just thrown out such an idea and caused an eight-magnitude earthquake, was also in deep thought at this time.
Should I be sympathetic to my son's body? However, if that inevitably moves the people, where can they enjoy the world of two people at that time? Last night's experience reminded him of the past when he secretly went in and out of the Ganye Temple in the past, and he also wanted his wife to dilute her attachment to power, so he made the suggestion just now. But if you piggyback on Li Hong, everything will be messed up.
Glancing apologetically at the emperor's son, the forty-six-year-old Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty coughed, and said sternly: "In this summer, the emperor must not waste state affairs, otherwise how can he be worthy of the conscientious courtiers?" This time, I and the Queen of Heaven went to Jiucheng Palace, and when the light car was simple, in order to show love for the people
Li Xian listened and almost didn't roll his eyes. Yes, he should also advocate love for the people during the summer vacation, and his father will really embody selflessness
