Text 942 Shengyun Building
The carriage walked slowly along the most prosperous streets of Chang'an City, and what you could see along the way were some scenes of prosperity and peace, as if everyone's face was full of contentment, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as comfortable.
Just when the two fathers and sons were still sitting leisurely in the carriage and looking at the prosperity, Hua Meng, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, drove the carriage to the side slightly, and then Li Hong, who understood in the carriage, patted Li Ye next to him and motioned him to look this way.
"Uncle Liuhuang?" Li Ye looked at the one-armed man on horseback not far away and said in surprise.
In the noisy and busy downtown streets, although the two of them couldn't hear what Li Xian was talking to in front of the horse and the two respectful people, they knew that the two middle-aged people who were dressed and had an extraordinary bearing knew that the two were either rich or expensive.
Li Xian, who was sitting on horseback, looked solemn, even with a hint of coldness, and in this cold spring season, he seemed a little unangry and arrogant.
"Go back and tell Master Pei, this king will not go to his banquet, as for the matter between him and Guo Jingzhi, this king has never heard of it, so he will not ask." Li Xian pulled the reins with one arm, and then lightly clamped the horse's belly, ready to walk forward.
"His Royal Highness King Pei, His Majesty now intends to give two princes, one as the King of Jiling and the other as the King of the East China Sea, and it is still in the time of Dashi and the envoys of the Wa Kingdom in my Tang Dynasty, is it true that King Pei is really willing to give up the Jiling City that has worked hard for many years, and is given the title of his own prince by His Majesty, and there is no complaint at all?" I saw a middle-aged man, because he was rude to stop Li Xian's actions, after bowing and apologizing, he hurriedly looked up at Li Xian on horseback and said.
Li Xian sat on horseback and glanced contemptuously at the middle-aged man who stopped him, then smiled disdainfully, and raised his eyes to look at the bustling Chang'an street scene: "There is always some invisible loneliness behind the prosperity, just like there is always a place where the sun can't shine." The ignorant are really fearless, a small Suizhou assassin history, and now he has not shown any prestige in the court, so he wants to rely on the relationship between the emperor's relatives and relatives to form a party for personal gain? Chang'an has Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, hidden officials and celebrities, how many people are waiting to be able to enter His Majesty's eyes, which one is not conscientious and conscientious for Chang'an, for the community to make suggestions, in order to move up. Which one is as hungry as Pei Qing? Don't take the right path, but want to use relationships to rise to the top? Even if you take advantage of the relationship between the emperor's relatives and relatives, but you won't even grasp the minimum opportunity, like a stupid pig, what qualifications does he have to point fingers in front of this king? Seeking wealth? ”
The middle-aged man was stunned at first, and he couldn't imagine that Li Xian, the king of Pei, who had been filial piety for three years, had become so sharp now, and the whole person was like a handful...... A sharp weapon that had been hidden for a long time, when facing them, did not hesitate to reveal its grandeur.
Pei Qing confidently asked himself to invite King Pei, and he was willing to invite King Pei, and even willing to be familiar with King Pei in front of him, no wonder he also had his own hidden intentions, that is, since King Pei restored his status as the prince, there is not even a guest in the mansion except for a limited number of subordinates, which makes him quietly start his own little abacus.
If you can't get the results you want by relying on Pei Qing, then it is not a shortcut to follow this King Pei, who was restored to the status of the prince more than three years ago, as the guest of the prince.
"King Pei is angry, Lord Pei Qingpei asked you to come over just to recall with you the relationship of the past, those words just now were added by the lower officials themselves, and I hope to ......." Lin Zhongyu is the commander of Sanyuan County, and said in the face of Li Xian's disdain.
"A thorn history can't get into my eyes, tell him to do it himself." Li Xian looked at Lin Zhongyu coldly, the warning in his eyes was self-evident, don't blame me Li Xian for being polite if you dare to block the way.
Lin Zhongyu looked at the gloomy and cold gaze, like a sharp blade that had been hidden for a long time, and after his heart trembled inexplicably, he involuntarily moved two steps to the side, making way for Li Xian to move forward.
As Li Xian and a few followers left, Li Hong's carriage also slowly left, leaving Lin Zhongyu and another person, standing on the side of the road in a daze, looking dazed.
Thinking about it simply, Pei Qing is really as Li Xian said, just like a stupid pig, simply thinking that by virtue of his identity as a relative of the emperor, he can make Li Xian, who has just been reinstated, surrender his identity and plot with him.
But although Pei Qing is stupid, there are people who are even more stupid than Pei Qing, and they are willing to believe that Pei Qing's connections and connections in the imperial court can really bring convenience to these officials who are not up or down.
These stupid people are dreaming of their own spring and autumn periods, but they never thought that Pei Qing was just Pei Xingjian's younger brother, when Pei Xingjian was in full swing, he didn't promote his own brother, and now Pei Xingjian has retired to care for the elderly at home, can Pei Qing use that little kinship in the royal family to go further in his career?
"There are so many fools." Lin Zhongyu looked at the street that had disappeared into the crowd, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he found that he and the person next to him were stupid pigs who were even more stupid than Pei Qing.
actually believed Pei Qing's words, and because of Pei Qing's arrogance, he couldn't help but believe that as long as he went to Li Xian's side, he could get Li Xian's appreciation as his identity as the county commander of Qi County.
"It's ridiculous." Lin Zhongyu raised his head, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth turned into self-deprecation and despair.
A four-storey restaurant in Chang'an City, with blue bricks and tiles on the outside, and different carriages and sedan chairs parked at the door, but the decoration inside is extremely luxurious, even if it is a door, the thick carpet makes people feel a little palpitated, and they are afraid that they will step on the precious carpet and step on it.
The guy at the door is much more decent than the guy in the ordinary restaurant, even if he doesn't change his clothes and walks on the street, no one dares to believe that he is just an ordinary guy running in Shengyun Building.
led Li Ye slowly to the fourth floor, a window room was also divided into three rooms, inside and outside, the area for guests to greet guests, there were eating and drinking, there were singing and dancing, and there were listening to elegant music, and the whole room looked much bigger than the home of an ordinary family of five.
"Oh my God...... Father, this ...... It's more luxurious than your study, isn't it? "The eldest son of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in the eyes of his father, is like a bun who has just entered the city at this moment.
From time to time, Li Ye looked at the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities on the wall, the various screens, vases, etc. that distinguished the functional areas, and even the chair, in his opinion, was better than most of the tables and chairs in the palace.
"Know more and say less. You are a dignified prince, and you have this kind of frightened expression when you see this kind of place, how do you say ordinary people will feel when they come here? Li Hong sat on an extremely comfortable and soft chair, and at the door of the room stood Hua Meng and Mangzhong, and in the big room, only him and Li Ye were left.
"So who can come to such a place? Ordinary people must not be able to afford it, Chang'an is full of elegant people, and there is no shortage of rich businessmen and wealthy dignitaries, but ...... They can't come to this place every day, can they? This...... How much does a meal cost? And it must not be as simple as eating and drinking, catching up and making friends, right? Li Ye's voice came out from the inside, and the furnishings in the room made him a young and ignorant teenager, thinking of some pictures that he could only desire when he grew up.
With a slight flush and embarrassment on his cheeks, after getting out of the room, he looked at the middle repeatedly, looking out the window through the glass, the crowded street scene of Chang'an City was trampled underfoot, and it involuntarily made people feel pride and ambition.
"It's just a gold cave, a hero's tomb, standing in front of the window, looking at the people running around, feeling the luxury here, power and money even I want to hold a little in my hands." After all, Li Ye can't hide from a young man who is active and curious, and since he entered this room, he hasn't stopped those two legs.
"Pei Qing didn't invite you here?" Li Hong was stunned, still very idiot and asked.
"No, where does he have so much money to invite me here, this kind of place is the first time for a minister, if you didn't bring me over, I'm afraid I won't come once in my life, I don't know that this restaurant in Chang'an City can be so furnished and luxurious." Li Ye walked past Li Hong, and was kicked in the ass by Li Hong again, so he sat down honestly opposite his father, but a pair of eyes were still looking around.
"So your queen mother is a woman's opinion, short-sighted, for fear that you will cause trouble, but stay in the palace every day, don't come out to take a look, in addition to the palace, you can't even see a Chang'an, how to see the world, know the society, and understand the people. If you want to come out later, you will come out ....... Li Hong looked at Li Ye, his eyes finally stayed on him, but he was interrupted by the little rabbit cub.
"By the way, Father, the Queen Mother said that you once spent a lot of money in Qujiangchi, that you and Concubine Yan met there, and that you brought 1.8 million taels of silver tickets when you went out, didn't that scare everyone?"
"Fart, I'm not going to die for her, as for making a fool of myself? Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, but then again, that's me and your mother...... It seems to be the first date....... ”
"At that time, the queen mother didn't know your identity, and the queen mother told me that it was Hua Meng who brought so much money for you, and then met Mother Yan by mistake, as well as a few friends of Mother Yan who came to the palace on weekdays. Hua Meng, how much silver did you bring today? Is there 1,800,000 taels? Li Ye's thinking jumped out, and halfway through talking to his father, he turned his head to Hua Meng at the door and asked.
"Back to Your Highness, slave maid...... I didn't bring that much silver taels, but I think it was enough to cover all the expenses here, so don't worry, Your Highness. Hua Meng is now full of silver hair, but he is meticulously groomed, and he doesn't even have a messy hair.
"That's good, that's good, don't tell my mother about it when I tell my father and grandfather ...... same in Taiyi City."
"Little rabbit, what did your mother tell you in the palace every day? Why is it all messy things? He told you about this? "Li Hong's old face is rare red, and his father Li Zhi is fighting with people in Taiyi City, which is an ugly thing that he, the emperor, is unwilling to mention in his life, it is said that now in Taiyi City, there are some guests who go to that Fengyue place after they are full of wine and food, and they will mention that there were two people back then, who looked very noble, but the rewards turned out to be broken silver and so on.
"This is what Concubine Wen said to Aunt Bai when she was at the queen mother's place, when I went to see the tiger a few days ago, when I fed the tiger with Concubine Wen, Concubine Wen told her sons." Li Ye wrinkled his little face again, because he saw Mang Chong walking towards this side.
"When I arrived, in the next room, Pei Qing and Chen Jingzhi, and some other officials." Mangzhong said softly.
