Chapter 13: Brothers
Li Yun was already a bamboo in his chest, and he went to the Jiannan Liquor Store in Dongshi that day to tell the prince these things, but unfortunately something happened and it was delayed, and now he naturally wants to let his brother understand.
"That's right! A mature politician must learn to compromise in moderation! Not only must you clearly know what you want, but what Datang needs now. If there is no opportunity, then we must create opportunities, and we cannot passively wait for others to call the shots. If these two things are done well, the elder brother's position as the crown prince will be further stabilized, and once both the internal and external government and the opposition are recognized, then the Guo family will not be able to regret it. ”
"That's a good thing to say, and the idea is good, but the things are too big, I have to weigh it for my brother, Erlang can prepare it first." Li Ning obviously still couldn't make up his mind.
Although this brother is smart, he is a little cowardly in his heart, and he is not decisive and ruthless enough, in this crisis-ridden Daming Palace, sooner or later he will suffer a big loss!
Li Yun was a little depressed, took out a poorly made thread-bound booklet from his arms and threw it over, and said solemnly: "If there is anything else to prepare, I have prepared it for you, this is the draft "East Palace Subordinate Officials Restructuring Plan", you keep it carefully, burn it after reading it, and keep it in your heart." If you decide, feel free to talk to your younger brother, and your younger brother will discuss this matter with his father. ”
The book "Please Reorganize the Palace and City Shu", Li Yun didn't take it out, he planned to go to Baowen Pavilion to visit his mother first, go back to the outside of Zichen Hall and wait for the knight to change the title, and then go to Hongwen Hall to find the prince, at that time, it was almost the end of the dynasty, and then go to see his father and emperor together, and then hand over the chapter by the way.
After Li Yun finished speaking, he saw that his brother's face was solemn, and he solemnly picked it up and opened the wordless cover, and read in a low voice: "Although the country is big, you can't go without a store for a day; The prince, the hope of the people, carry forward the past and forge ahead, survive and die, connect the previous and the next, and must not be careless...... Good! ”
Li Ning praised loudly, and then realized that he was a little too forgetful, his face became solemn again, he continued to flip through it, and took the booklet into his arms casually, thinking about it and feeling inappropriate, he put it in the cabinet in the corner behind him and locked it, and then sat down again.
"Erlang, you wrote it, I really can't see it, I have some talent!" Li Ning looked at his second brother with a smile on his face, but he muttered secretly in his heart: Erlang is thinking about me, which is gratifying, but it is not too positive......
。。。。。。。。。。。。。
From the east side of the Xuanzheng Palace, the Rihua Gate into is a deep and narrow city road, look up to see is a line of blue night sky before dawn, fortunately there is a small yellow door waiting for the prince Wei Junzhen in front of the lantern lighting to guide the way, soon to the northeast corner of the palace wall, there is a side door here that is not too wide, go up the steps, go in and turn a few corners, and finally arrive at the Taiyuan Pavilion of the east side hall of the Zichen Palace.
The Zichen Hall is the convenient hall, divided into the east and west side hall and the main hall, and there is a flying bridge hanging through the air. This is the inner palace of the emperor's daily living, in front of which is the place where the inner court often participates, the two sides are for the office and the courtiers, and the east and west side halls are the living rooms.
Taiyuan Pavilion is a temporary resting place for the emperor before going to court, and the princes and princesses sit and wait here. As soon as the princes arrived, the emperor's ceremonial chariot also came from the direction of Penglai Palace in the northeast.
Li Yun thought in his heart that this might be the matter that his father caused for himself to appease the Guo family. Because according to the palace people, after his father ascended the throne, he had not been to Penglai Palace for a long time.
The crown prince Li Ning turned around and beckoned, leading the princes to line up to greet him, until the emperor's steps were on the high palace pedestal and came down in the wide corridor in front of the palace gate.
"Son-in-law and others respectfully ask how is the emperor and father?"
Li Yun quickly scanned his eyes, and saw that his father was tall, wearing a bright yellow round-necked dragon robe, wearing a black saro head, a square face, and a short beard on his chin to add a bit of majesty, and he walked slowly with his hands behind his back, looked at the prince, and then his eyes stayed on him for a moment, and waved his hand: "All follow me!" ”
Why didn't you say "I bowed to An", this is not according to the script! Then the emperor strode forward, and a large group of eight princes and four princesses followed into the palace room, although a tabletop lamp was lit inside, but the light was still a little dim, and the emperor sat down behind the front of the six screens in the middle of the head.
The princes are on the left, the princesses are on the right, sitting on a low couch, one by one, they don't dare to take a sip. Daddy Li Chun coughed dryly, and finally spoke: "How is the prince doing with his schoolwork recently?" ”
Li Ning, who was on the top left, immediately got up and replied: "Father, the sons dare not slack off, and recently they have studied the scriptures "The Book of Filial Piety", "The Book of Rites", and "Zuo Chuan"; Read the history of the "Book of the Later Han". ”
"Good! Then I will test you......" Li Chun thought for a while, and then said: "Confucius said: Those who are wise tools know the way of mourning, and they are not available for preparation." Alack! The dead use the vessels of the living. It is not a death to be used. ”
This is a kind of imperial examination question, just like the examiner gives the last sentence, and the answerer has to take the next sentence.
Li Ning replied: "This is "The Book of Rites: Under the Tan Bow", and the next sentence is: It is said to be a bright vessel, and the gods are also." Tu Che Shu Ling, since ancient times, the way of the Ming Instrument also. Confucius said that those who kill the soul are good, and those who are figurines are not benevolent, and they are not good at employing people! ”
Li Chun came up with a few more questions, and the prince Li Ning could answer them one by one, Li Chun was very happy, and then his eyes turned around, seeing that Li Yun's scalp was numb, and his heart was fluttering, he had learned these questions in his memory, but he couldn't remember them all, and he was in big trouble as soon as the questions came out.
"King Li will go to Baowen Pavilion first, and come back to see me in the morning. All the emperors will go to Hongwen Hall to study, and I will take the school another day! Li Chun threw down a sentence and got up and turned behind the screen, and the princes also got up.
Li Ning said: "It's all gone, learn from what my father said!" ”
Li Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he had narrowly avoided this pass, but a few days ago, his father didn't mention a word, if he summoned him sooner or later, he would inevitably be asked.
But now I still hurry away, and when I got to the door, I heard a very unfriendly voice behind me: "A dog on the lonely mansion was bitten to death by a lonely wild dog a few days ago, and the lonely will definitely find out this stockpile, pull it home and tame it, tie it up with a chain to watch the door of the house, haha......"
The twelve- and thirteen-year-old King Li Wu obviously hadn't heard the wind yet, and asked, "Isn't it forbidden to raise dogs in the Sixteenth Prince's Mansion?" When did you raise it in Saburo's house, aren't you afraid of being troubled? ”
San Lang is Li You, the son of Guo Guifei, because of the support of the Guo family, and her grandmother is Princess Shengping, the daughter of Daizong Li Yu, the relationship between here and outside is very iron, although she has also moved out of the palace to live, but she lives in the palace a lot.
Li You saw that the person who accosted him was Li Wu, not Li Yun, and immediately felt very unhappy, and reprimanded: "Lone likes to raise dogs, who can do anything?" Can you handle it? Well? ”
Li Wu touched his nose, snorted angrily, turned around and walked away.
Feeling a few eyes staring at him from behind, Li Yun walked to the door and turned his head, looking at the third brother Li You with a smile, but he didn't speak.
Li Youzhong's figure is a little thin, his face is also a little abnormally pale, his eyes look more white and less black at first glance, but his lower eyelids are swollen, slightly underneath, he is clenching his fists, looking at himself with a look of resentment, and he is followed by a little lady, who is his sister Princess Qiyang.
The crown prince Li Ning was afraid that the brothers would quarrel, so he hurriedly came back and pulled Li Yun's sleeve, and said with a serious smile: "Erlang! I have collected a few good books for my brother, you can go with me to get them, take them back and study hard! ”
Li Yun didn't want to make any more trouble, and walked out of Taiyuan Pavilion quickly, the sky began to brighten, and it was still too early to go to Baowen Pavilion, so it seemed that he had to go back to Shaoyang Courtyard to sit for a while before going. As for Hongwenkan, he didn't want to read it at all.
