Chapter 425: Li Jiancheng Plays Another Trick (1)
After Li Yuan was free for a few days in the Turkic king's tent outside the city of Mayi, he returned to Chang'an unharmed, and when he had not returned to Renshou Palace, Li Yuan felt in his heart that it was better to go to this Chang'an street market to take a look at it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info see what is lively in this Chang'an City. Li Yuan walked on the road of Chang'an City, and saw the prosperity and bustle of Chang'an City all the way, without the slightest panic and panic of the soldiers. Li Yuan was relieved in his heart - Jiancheng was in charge of Gyeonggi public security and Guanzhong defense, not bad, not bad. Li Yuan walked and walked, feeling hungry, and saw a restaurant in front of him, and was about to walk inside, but the attendant next to Li Yuan stopped Li Yuan:
"Your Majesty, this restaurant is really too cheap, if you are hungry, it is better to go back to Renshou Palace as soon as possible and let the imperial chef cook a few imperial dishes for you to taste." Li Yuan waved his hand and said:
"No need, I think this is good!" Since Li Yuan ate the delicious roasted whole sheep on the grassland, he slowly began to miss the time when he was an official, at that time, there were not so many constraints, wherever he went, although there were also people following, but no one would care what he ate and what he wanted to drink, if he was in normal times, Li Yuan might have scruples, but today, Li Yuan has returned to his original wildness, and naturally he will not scruple about so many rules. Went straight in. Li Yuan found a private room that he felt comfortable and sat down:
"A few guest officers, what to eat?" A shopkeeper came to Li Yuan attentively:
"Hmmm! What are your best dishes in this restaurant? ”
"Guest officer, what a good dish! It's not some home-cooked dishes yet. But don't worry, guest officer, it is steamed and fried, it will definitely satisfy you, and you don't want to look at this dish as bad, but this taste ......" The attendants beside Li Yuan were already impatient.
"Why are you so verbose, hurry up and bring the wine and food, and then bring it to the labor and management to slap your mouth." The shopkeeper immediately ran down, and after a while, the shopkeeper got a few side dishes and two pots of wine.
"Guest, your wine and food are here, if you have any requests, just call me." Li Yuan nodded, motioned to the attendant, the attendant nodded, threw a piece of silver over, and the shopkeeper left with a thousand thanks. The attendant was about to test Li Yuan's food to see if it was poisonous. Li Yuan slapped the attendant with chopsticks:
"What are you doing?"
"Your Majesty......" Li Yuan glared at the attendant, and the attendant understood, and quickly changed his words and said:
"Master Bi, please use it!" After Li Yuan ate a few bites, he felt that the taste was not bad, and his mood became better. At this time, I heard someone sighing and crying in the private room next to me:
"Hey! Brother Liu, why are you angry? ”
"Hey! Some people slander their ancestors, but as descendants, they have no way to refute it. What a distress! Come on! Drink, drink! ”
"Hey! Brother Liu! ......" Li Yuan was annoyed, signaled to the attendant, the attendant understood, and walked out, and there was immediately a loud noise and persuasion next to him:
"What's going on? What is the noise!? ”
"It's your business that labor and management are drinking here!"
"This is a restaurant!"
"What about the restaurant, labor and management are in a bad mood today, you don't care about labor and management."
"You're not done yet, you!"
"What do you want?" Someone next to him advised:
"Hey! A few guest officers, we are a small business here! Don't do anything here! Ouch! ”
"You dog, I want you to take care of it!"
"Yes! Brother Liu, please refrain from it! Sorry to bother. "After a while, there was no movement. At this time, the shopkeeper walked in with a bruised face:
"Yo! A few guest officers, I'm sorry to disturb your purity. Li Yuan asked the shopkeeper:
"Little second brother, you have been wronged." The shopkeeper covered his wounds and said:
"Hey! Those of us who are little second brothers, what do we have to be wronged about. Li Yuan continued to ask:
"I just don't know why the guest over there has such a big temper!" The shopkeeper hesitated, not daring to answer. Li Yuan motioned to the attendant to take out a piece of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, who saw the silver. Some are embarrassed. Li Yuan smiled and said:
"Little second brother! Don't be nervous, this piece of silver is for you, take it, you're welcome. Li Yuan said as he stuffed the silver into the hands of the shopkeeper. After the shopkeeper accepted the silver, he received the silver at a speed of one ten-thousandth of a second. Explain to Li Yuan the reason why that person was angry.
"Don't hide it from the guest officer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know what's going on recently? There is a book of "The Magi", it is said that there is nothing in this book, but it is this "Magi Record", which records a lot of ancestral deeds of the founding emperor and today's family officials, some people! It's well written, some people! It's not well written. It's not good, isn't it? That's naturally uncomfortable, these days, there are a lot of troubles in restaurants and Qinglou in Chang'an City because of this matter. ”
"Oh! Little second brother, do you say that this "Magi Record" is good or not! ”
"Hey! The guest officer laughed, this "Magi Record" includes the ancestors of those high-ranking officials and nobles, the villain has three generations to eat, if it is not for the good heart of the shopkeeper, take the villain here to be a little second brother, the villain I don't know where to ask for food? Guest officer, you eat here first, and the little one is busy. After the shopkeeper left, Li Yuan said to the attendant:
"Someone! After returning to the palace, I found Li Jiancheng's "Record of the Magi" for me to see. What is written in that book of the Magi? ”
"Yes!" In the evening, in the Renshou Palace, Li Yuan looked at the "Magi Record", and has been thinking deeply, the beginning of the "Magi Record" reads - there are many hypocrites and false sages in the world, in order to prevent the world from being deceived and used, this palace is specially included in this record for the sages, in order to distinguish from others, this palace also specially lists examples one by one. The first to write into the "Magi Record" is Cao Cao, Li Jiancheng listed Cao Cao when he was young, witty and alert, with the ability to randomly weigh and adapt, and willful chivalrous, uninhibited, do not cultivate conduct, do not study studies, so people at that time did not think that he had any special talents, only Qiao Xuan of Liang and others thought that he was extraordinary, Qiao Xuan said to Cao Cao: "The world will be chaotic, and the talents of the world cannot be helped. Nanyang He Hao said to him: "The Han family is going to die, and those who settle the world will be this person!" Xu Shao of Nanyang is known for his knowledge, and Xu Shao also said to Cao Cao: "Jun Qingping's traitor, the hero of troubled times." "And, when he was young, he didn't flatter the powerful and was the captain of the northern part of Luoyang. Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is a place where imperial relatives and nobles live, and it is difficult to govern. As soon as Cao Cao arrived, he affirmed the ban, strictly enforced the law and discipline, and made more than ten five-colored sticks, which hung around the yamen, "Those who violate the ban will be killed." The emperor's favored eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu violated the ban on night walking, and Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed Jian Tu with a five-colored stick. As a result, "the Beijing master has collected traces, and no one dares to offend". The generals Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan plotted to kill the eunuchs, but they were killed by the eunuchs instead of doing so. Cao Cao's letter stated that Dou Wu and others were framed for official integrity, resulting in a situation where traitors were full of evil and evil, but loyal and good people were not reused, and his words were sincere, but they were not adopted by Emperor Ling of Han. Later, Cao Cao wrote many times to admonish, although occasionally effective, but the Eastern Han Dynasty became increasingly corrupt, and Cao Cao knew that he could not correct it. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao couldn't bear the suffering of the Li people, recruited private soldiers and flattened the Yellow Turban, and after breaking the Yellow Turban, Cao Cao moved to Jinan. During the term of office of Jinan Prime Minister, Cao Cao governed things as before. There are more than 10 state-owned counties in Jinan, and most of the county magistrates are dependent on the nobles, corrupt and bend the law, and have no scruples. Cao Cao's previous ministers ignored it. When Cao Cao arrived, he vigorously rectified and dismissed eight out of ten of the officials, Jinan was shaken, and corrupt officials fled one after another. "Politics and religion are great, and a county is clear". At that time, the world was in turmoil, and there was an incident in which Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou, united with Nanyang Xu You, Peiguo Zhou Jing and other local heroes to plan to depose Emperor Ling and establish the Marquis of Hefei. Wang Fen and others hoped that Cao Cao would join them, but Cao Cao refused, and later Wang Fen committed suicide in defeat. Then, Bian Zhang and Han Sui of Jincheng County (now Lanzhou) in the northwest killed Assassin Shi and Taishou, and led more than 100,000 troops to rebel against the imperial court. In order to consolidate his rule, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up eight captains in the West Garden, and Cao Cao was appointed as the lieutenant of the eight lieutenants because of his family background. Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and Cao Cao took the lead in advocating volunteers to call on the heroes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, the princes were reluctant to go out to fight and pursue, and Cao Cao thought that Dong Zhuo "burned the palace, robbed the Son of Heaven, and the sea was shaken", and should take the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with him, so he led the army westward alone. These records prove Cao Cao's determination to maintain the unity of national authority, during the period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, after the rebellion of He Jin, Shi Chang Shi and Dong Zhuo, Li He, Guo Qi, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was exiled in all directions, Cao Cao welcomed the Emperor of Han Xian in Xuchang, and considered himself the prime minister, although he was suspected of being good at government affairs, but he did not usurp the Han family for life, and eliminated the separatist forces such as Eryuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Chao, and Han Sui internally, unified northern China, and implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order. In addition, in order to set off the front of Cao Cao, Li Jiancheng gave the example of Liu Bei, saying that Liu Bei sold his reputation and reputation, and the eldest grandson falsely accused Lu Bu of being a slave with three surnames, and Liu Bei first voted for Gongsun Zhan, and then voted for Qingzhou Assassin Shi Tian Kai, and then voted for Yuan Shao after helping Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai to resist Yuan Shao, and then voted for Yuan Shao, voted for Tao Qian, Tao Qian's son died, and Liu Biao's son Liu Qi died, and even Sun Quan borrowed Jingzhou and did not pay it back, Liu Zhang invited and Liu Zhang lost the state, Lu Bu repeatedly borrowed Liu Bei in danger and Lu Bu died, in order to mold his own wisdom and ignore the people's suffering, he was intercepted and killed by Cao Jun, In order to ask Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to set himself up as the king of Hanzhong, he framed Cao Pi for killing the monarch and killed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to establish himself as the emperor. He also said that Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, got the jade seal and did not hand it over, and he had already cut off his ambitions, and Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal for soldiers and horses without respecting the authority of the imperial court, and Sun Quan established himself as the king of Wu, causing the country to split, which was an act of thieves. Li Yuan looked at the book of "The Magi", and heard what the attendant said to him at that time:
"Your Majesty, Weichen has inquired a lot of news in this Chang'an City, this "Magi Record" came out, many people hated it because of this "Magi Record", but there is no way to refute it, there is a big debate between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Shilin, and the person Your Majesty met in the restaurant today is a descendant of Liu Bei of the Bashu Liu family. However, he did not dare to deny these things. Li Yuan's eyes were fixed on the book of "The Magi" again. Shook his head.
