Chapter 437: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger
"Get out there and walk!"
Li Yuanji then also got into the carriage, but what he didn't expect was that he wanted to save some face for his nephew, who was not yet an adult, and also for his brother-in-law.
As a result, Emperor Li Yuan quit.
Li Yuan also heard their conversation outside the car clearly before, otherwise the fourth sister would not be so angry.
And although Li Yuan has no power, after all, he has been the emperor for so many years, and he has no power, he is also the emperor, and he has no power, so he has to give way when he is angry.
This is also the most gratifying point for Li Yuan, although it is not certain whether it was true or false that Li Yuanji wanted to return to the throne, but at least Li Yuanji has respected himself like a father over the years.
And Li Yuan also saw a lot, and generally did not interfere in major national affairs, and it was really impossible to get around, or if there were other reasons, Li Yuan would also explain it to Li Yuanji in advance.
And Li Yuanji did not give Li Yuan any chance to speak at all like Li Shimin, and on some issues that did not involve principles, he still acted according to Li Yuan's ideas.
As for the issue of principle, Li Yuanji also thought of a way to do it after explaining it clearly to Li Yuan, so as to satisfy both parties as much as possible.
This is the biggest difference between Li Yuanji and Li Shimin.
Li Yuan is not good at interjecting in other things, and he doesn't want to intervene, but this is a state affair and a family affair.
Li Yuan, who hadn't been angry for a long time, finally couldn't help it this time.
As soon as the fourth sister twisted Duan Yan's ears and entered the car, she was glared at by Li Yuan.
Although Duan Yan was skinny, he was not the kind of nonsensical skin, and in the face of his grandfather's anger, he didn't even dare to take a breath, so he quickly broke free from his mother's control, ran out of the car with a smoke, and walked behind the carriage.
Although it's a shame, but a shame is a shame, and you can't help it, right?
"Women's families, you don't need to worry about state affairs, and you can't even discipline your children. Luoju is so important, are you worthy of Yuanji's expectations of you? The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, and he reprimanded Princess Gaomi fiercely one after another.
The atmosphere in the carriage once again fell into a subtlety, as if all the anger that had been hidden for a long time was vented at this moment.
And the good mood of being able to meet his daughter was also lost at this moment.
"Father, didn't the fourth sister clean up the little guy after she found out? Duan Yan is still young, he doesn't know what he can and can't do, and the fourth sister disciplines him strictly, so it is inevitable that he will have some rebellious psychology, and it is normal to do something wrong while adults are not paying attention. Seeing that the fourth sister's eye sockets had been occupied by mist, Li Yuanji hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Fourth sister, how to deal with the follow-up of this matter?" ”
"The man gave me ten vouchers, and I took fifteen from home and asked him to return them." Princess Gaomi said very aggrievedly.
But what about grievances? My father taught me that even if I was right, I must not talk back at this time.
In addition, Li Yuan's current situation, although it is much better than before, Princess Gaomi still can't bear to look at Li Yuan uncomfortable, so she will suffer some grievances, it is nothing more than a few days of depression, as long as her father can let out his anger.
"If you dare to accept money from someone today, you will dare to ask for someone's life tomorrow......" Li Yuan was still angry.
Li Yuan is still quite disgusted by this kind of bribery.
Although during his tenure, he mainly focused on recovery, and many aspects did not have time to be carried out, so his political achievements were not so obvious, but Li Yuan still worked hard to control corruption.
Not to mention those officials, even ordinary officials dare not stretch out their hands.
Why can Xiao Yu be reused repeatedly? Whether it was in the Li Yuan period or the Li Shimin period, or now in the Li Yuanji period?
In addition to his own talents, what is more important is his upright character, whether it is for himself or for the people under him, he is very strict, and he prohibits anyone from using his power to do anything.
Li Yuan really couldn't imagine that even his grandson, who was more than ten years old, would dare to accept bribes.
"Father, the matter has not reached such a serious point, Duan Yan is still young, it would be good to step up education." Seeing that Li Yuan was getting more and more serious, Li Yuanji couldn't stand it anymore.
While this possibility does exist, now that they've noticed it, it's basically unlikely.
Generally speaking, most of the time this kind of thing is caused by family environmental factors.
For example, the father is busy with work and has no time to discipline, and the mother is too doting and reluctant to discipline.
Although the fourth sister has a somewhat soft personality like most women, she will not be soft on the issue of children's education.
"Let Duan Yan follow me in the next few days!" Li Yuanji thought about it, but still spoke.
"It's okay, let this kid have a good experience of what is called civil suffering, if he doesn't repent, I will demote him to a commoner and send him to the frontier!" Li Yuanji opened his mouth, Li Yuan naturally would not give this face, after all, the father and son still have some tacit understanding, but the ugly words were also said directly.
Obviously, Li Yuan was still very angry about this matter.
The convoy slowly entered the city, but before that, Wei Chi Jingde still commanded the Praetorian Guards to enter the city first, and some of the guards were in charge of guards, while the original sergeants from Luozhou stood directly aside.
It's not that they look down on them, but the emperor's safety is always the responsibility of these janissaries themselves.
Duan Lun led the officials of Luozhou to lead the way in front of the emperor's motorcade.
As for Duan Yan, Duan Lun's face was also embarrassed when he saw Duan Yan being driven out of the car and could only follow behind the car.
Maybe he has already guessed the reason, but these things are not something he can control, and the princess is also above, if even the princess can't solve this matter, what can he do?
However, Duan Lun didn't want to hide anything from this.
As the governor of Luozhou, there are some things that can't be hidden, and the matter of his own kid has already been rumored all over the city, if it wasn't for the princess to deal with it in time, even if she is a concubine, I am afraid that this matter would have been reported by the supervisor long ago.
"Did you all see that?" Duan Lun's eyes looked at the back of the emperor's car, Duan Yan, who was walking boringly, and then continued: "After going home, I will take care of some rabbit cubs, this time even the princess can't protect him, unless you feel that your energy is greater than that of the princess, the old man doesn't want to see you being given to Huo Huo by the rabbit cubs at home one day." ”
"What the governor said is that after the lower officials go back, they will definitely discipline ...... strictly" Duan Lun's example, the effect is still obvious.
Although the status of these officials in Luozhou is not low, they are still slightly inferior to those court officials in Chang'an.
So even if you are arrogant, you don't dare to show it at this time.
Besides, Duan Yanna is the emperor's nephew, the grandson of the emperor, and no one in the world knows that after the death of Princess Pingyang, Li Yuanji has the closest relationship with Princess Gaomi, so Duan Lun's status is faintly to surpass other concubines.
But in this background situation, Princess Gaomi still can't keep Duan Yan, which is enough to explain the problem.
Although Duan Yan will not be held legally responsible in the end, for royal relatives like them, the real important thing is face, and losing face is sometimes worse than pursuing legal responsibility.
Let Duan Yan walk below, hitting Princess Gaomi in the face, Duan Lun's face, the emperor's face, and the emperor's own face.
The royal family will never slap himself in the face for no reason, but when he should slap his face, he will never hesitate to do anything.
At least on this point, Li Yuan knew better than Li Yuanji in his heart.
Let Duan Yan out, it is the royal family that is making a statement, and it is the royal family demonstrating and deterring other officials.
I have even cleaned up my own grandson, if you still want to come nonsense, it is best to weigh whether you are more powerful than Duan Yan first.
Coupled with Duan Lun's warning, no one dared not take this matter to heart.
The convoy slowly entered the city, and the streets were quiet on both sides, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and no pedestrians could be seen or any chaotic sounds could be heard.
There is an emperor's palace in Luozhou City, which was first built in the Sui Dynasty, but it has been abandoned for many years, until he received the news that the emperor was coming, Duan Lun hurriedly sent someone to clean the palace.
It's just that no matter how much you clean it, the palace looks a little dirty, and it doesn't feel so safe and secure.
As a result, the palace was changed to the residence of the accompanying officials, and the emperor and the emperor lived directly in the governor's mansion.
It is the office and Duan Lun's home.
Clean and comfortable, not to mention, living is also quite worry-free.
Of course, as for these problems, Li Yuanji didn't worry too much about anything, and this time he came to Luozhou, it couldn't be too long, and he still had to return to Chang'an a year ago.
Counting the time lost on the way, you can only stay here for five or six days at most.
Chang'an is not far from Luozhou, but the emperor's travel is not a trivial matter, even if it is only for five or six days, about twenty days back and forth, it is also a big burden for the imperial court.
In other words, the current imperial court simply cannot afford the cost of the emperor's trip.
Yes, the cost of the emperor's travel is not as simple as ordinary people's travel, not to mention the accompanying officials, each yamen in the court has to follow at least two or three people, some important yamen are even more, guarding thousands of people, which adds up to at least 6,000 people.
And these are officials, not army marches, everything can be simplified.
To put it bluntly, the emperor's travel means that wherever the emperor goes, the court is there, and the emperor can make any decision anytime, anywhere without any influence, just like in Chang'an.
It is equivalent to temporarily moving the entire imperial court to Luozhou, and the cost can be imagined.
