Chapter 477: Li Xian's Good Idea? Empress Wu's clever plan?
The noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent.
Although the sages said this well, but this world is full of laymen, and there are still people who can resist one or two in the rich, but who can compete with power? The world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the emperor Lao Tzu roared, and the world trembled three times. And by virtue of the royal prestige, as long as the royal relatives are not rebellious, as long as they are not guilty of public anger, even those famous strong orders have no time to pay attention to them.
Therefore, Li Xian went to the mansion of General Huaihua and threatened Gamoro, which was unknown to outsiders, but the person concerned himself did not dare to joke about it. Since he was the only one of Lu Jiayi's many disciples who was born in the Tang Dynasty, and had a language advantage, Gamoro visited everywhere in the name of General Huaihua - those first-class prime ministers couldn't enter, but after all, there were still powerful people in Chang'an City who believed in magic and alchemy, so he easily found out the news he needed.
The problem is that the news that has been put together from various sources is really not reassuring to him. Bold, righteous, generous, versatile, martial...... However, after these many praises, there are also a few derogatory terms revealed by well-informed sources--retribution, short-sightedness, ruthlessness-in a word, stay away from that Yongwang, then it will definitely be fine.
Regardless of whether the prince is a real power figure in these years, or whether he has no real power in his hands in vain, but no matter what, Li Xian is the son of the emperor and empress, in case people get angry and come to the door to provoke again, it will be more than just a Nanmu table. It's his head, right? As a result, Gamora couldn't help but seriously consider his future.
There are six impure monks in this world, and he is not the only one.
The emperor and queen have been on vacation in Furong Garden for nearly twenty days in the blink of an eye, although the first days were very happy, but Li Hong was so ill, and he was busy up and down. The laid-back atmosphere was swept away, and even became a little heavy. It wasn't until Li Hong gradually recovered that the situation improved slightly, and more people put their minds on the birthday of Rongguo's wife Yang.
After all, this is the old lady's ninety-first birthday, and such a rare long-lived old man is also a rare thing for Datang. At the same time, for Emperor Li. The old lady can live to ninety-one, doesn't it mean that he is not halfway through his life? Besides, if you rush on this good day, maybe Li Hong's illness will all be cured.
Li Hong, who has just recovered from a serious illness, is not as weak as outsiders imagine, and he can already take a slow walk along the hibiscus pond every day. Of course, more than half of the time, it is Li Xian who accompanies him, and a small part of the time, occasionally the future princess will appear. The servants from top to bottom of the Furong Garden have been warned by the Empress Wu, and they all pretend not to see such a transgression of etiquette.
And yet this day. Li Xian did not help his brother to the Furong Pond as usual, but smiled and asked people to take Li Hong to the horse farm with his shoulder. Just two days ago, the Western Regions once again paid tribute to 100 good horses, and the Empress Wu ordered someone to select twenty stables to be raised in the Hibiscus Garden, and although Li Xian's original mount was still running, he was already old after many years. He simply let him retire and asked his mother for one.
With the wrist of the Empress Wu, how could such a good thing only cheapen his son? Seeing that most of the noble children who accompanied the car this time were mixed with King Li Xian, and the cockfighting was really not decent, she ordered an equestrian competition, and the top five were rewarded with a horse from the Western Regions, which successfully attracted the young people who love horses nowadays.
"The queen mother's move. It's the same as your previous sumo tournaments! Li Hong looked at the people in the field who were practicing equestrianism with their own strength, and unconsciously smiled at Li Xian, "Sixth brother, your equestrian skills came from the British public school back then. Later, I went into battle to kill the enemy, why don't you go up and try it? ”
"Ahem, the queen mother has already given me a horse reward, why should I go up and compete with others for a place again?"
Li Xian smiled while helping Li Hong to sit down on the position of holding a huge parasol, and took a huge ice basin and ordered the two palace people to pull up a manual fan next to him.
In these years, the royal family has given a fixed amount of ice to the minister, and the price of ice outside is also quite expensive, which must be another good meal when the minister sees it, Li Xian is so wasteful?
Li Xian glanced at Cheng Bohu and Qu Tu Zhongxiang, who were shouting in the field, and then looked at Xue Dingshan, who was quietly immersed in training, and suddenly smiled, and when he turned around and saw Li Hongdi's eyes, he spread his hands and said: "Fifth brother, don't stare at me, now there are several times more ice households in Chang'an City than before, even I have a lot of ice cellars." Besides, no matter how poor I am, I can still afford this money, right? ”
In the face of this kind of remarks, even Li Hong couldn't remind him anymore, so he simply set his eyes on the field. Although he has a fragile temperament, the prince of the Tang Dynasty has never blindly studied literature and wants to be
When I was a year, the course was full, and it seemed that because of horseback archery, it was too hard to break the foundation. Therefore, at this time, watching a group of people galloping and jumping in the field, he only looked bright.
Li Xian stood next to him and looked at it with a smile, and he was very proud in his heart. It is said that the martial arts queen originally decided to hold a polo match, but he is clear about the level of polo in Chang'an City, and this kind of game without suspense is really not interesting, so he offered a clever strategy, and the polo became equestrian, divided into two rounds of speed horse racing and obstacle horse racing, and the one with the highest total score wins. As a result, now all these families have taken out all the good horses at the bottom of the box, and some of them even seem to be of higher quality than the horses of the Western Regions that paid tribute this time.
It's not so much about running for that lottery, it's more about fighting for face, or to put it another way, that's ...... Fight for daughter-in-law!
That's because, I don't know who revealed the news, Queen Wu intends to let the top five horse races and the many famous ladies who accompanied the Furong Garden choose to match the good fate, let them speak, as long as the woman is willing to marry, she will marry immediately.
There are dozens of top famous families in Chang'an City, even if the daughters of the family are from good backgrounds, their looks are also different, however, this time the beauties who can show their faces in the Hibiscus Garden not only have a good family background, but also are stunning. And those who have a marriage contract and can't participate in the competition can only beat their chests and feet. After all, how can you miss this rare opportunity to fall in love freely?
And after listening to Li Xian's gushing explanation, Li Hong finally showed an extremely strange expression: "This is the idea of the queen mother?" How do I look like yours is a crooked idea? ”
"This is a good thing, fifth brother, you don't care whose idea it is!"
The brothers were here, you were taunting each other and parrying each other, but they didn't notice that Empress Wu was supporting Li Zhi and standing in the distance to watch. Li Zhi is a lively person by nature, and when he saw this kind of hot scene, he felt his blood boiling, but what made him most happy was that the prince had recovered! So, the "old" was so relieved that he couldn't help but pat his wife's hand.
"Hong'er is safe and sound, I can rest assured, look at those young heroes, why should I worry that there will be no one in the future?"
"Your Majesty is still in the prime of spring and autumn, how can Hong'er have anything? As for these young people, Your Majesty will naturally see the day when they will make contributions in the future! ”
Empress Wu casually added such a sentence, looked at the young people who were working hard, and suddenly showed a smug smile. Because of the Sui system, Tang used the big families from all over the world when he started, so although the imperial examination is now opened, most of them are still the children of the family. Although the martial arts family is a family of heroes, it is not a big family, and until now there are still people who make a fuss about her background. She ordered someone to rewrite the clan history is the first step, and now the second step is naturally to interfere with the intermarriage between the families.
If Li Xian knew that he had the idea of thinking casually, he could actually let Empress Wu rise to such a political height, I was afraid that even his jaw would drop. It's just that he didn't know, so at this time, he was still excitedly pointing at the people in the field with Li Hong, looking like he was watching a good show. After the Son of Heaven feasts the guests of the Son of Heaven and the new science and technology scholars three days later, the horse race will begin, and it will be very lively to see.
In addition, he also calculated that Lu Guogong Cheng happened to be among the guests, so it was better to let this leader and persuade those princes to open a gambling market, making money was secondary, and the most important thing was that it was rare to have fun. Wait, those noblewomen are in charge of the money bags at home, why don't you let the eldest princess of Linchuan try to pull them into the water too?
Just as Li Xian's thoughts diverged into the boundless distance, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm, and when he looked up, he saw his seventh brother Li Xianzheng glaring at him angrily.
It is said that although this little fat man has only been trained for three days, and the time is only three hours, it is miserable for Li Xian. However, his arms can't twist his thighs, so he can only suffer, and by the way, when he can retaliate, he can't retaliate coldly, such as the death pinch just now.
"The guards outside the Hibiscus Garden asked me to bring you a letter, saying that it was sent by your royal official."
The royal official? He Li Xian has a lot of palace officials, which one is this talking about? Besides, there shouldn't be anything he needs to worry about lately, right?
Li Xian inexplicably took the letter, proving that the seal was indeed from the Yongwang Mansion, and couldn't help but feel more and more strange about the unsigned letter. However, when he unfolded the scroll three or two times, he was startled by the miserable handwriting on the paper. Needless to say, there is only one person who can write such calligraphy.
However, although the words are poor, although they are in the vernacular, the meaning is clear. After reading the ten lines at a glance, Li Xian suddenly showed an extremely subtle expression.
