Chapter 26 Illiterate Companion Reading
What friends can you have? Li Zhuxin said: If you talk about enemies, you have a lot of them.
Li Xuanba's question was not easy to answer, so Li Zhu chose not to answer. Seeing Li Zhu's expression, Li Xuanba guessed the answer, pursed his lips, and continued to eat.
"Why hasn't the dog shown up today?" After eating, Li Xuanba suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Li Gou for a day, and couldn't help asking.
"Presumably because I'm afraid that Childe will continue to punish him, right?" Li Zhu said with a smile: "He cleared the snow until late at night yesterday, and he really cleaned up the snow in the front yard." ”
"In this way, the snow on this street should be gone." Li Xuanba said: "Li Zhu, you can accompany me to relax." ”
Luoyang has been built for exactly ten years, the bluestone on the street is intact, the shops on both sides are beautifully decorated, and the vendors carrying knick-knacks are shouting loudly among the pedestrians, chasing a group of young children behind them.
The snow on the streets has been cleared, the snow on the houses is still slowly melting, and the drops of water are dragging down the eaves and falling to the ground with a crisp sound, making the already lively streets noisy.
Bypassing the North City, they went to Shanglinfang again, and the two came to the edge of Luoshui.
"What's that in the distance?" Li Xuanba looked left and right, and saw a behemoth standing on the Luo Water in the distance, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's a craftsman building a dragon boat." Li Zhu replied: "At the beginning, Yang Xuan felt rebellious, and although he did not capture Luoyang, he burned His Majesty's dragon boat clean. After His Majesty returned to Luoyang from Yanmen Pass, he ordered people to build new dragon boats. ”
"How much manpower and material resources do you have to spend on such a huge project?" Li Xuanba shook his head and said.
"It's nothing compared to digging the Tongji Canal in the first place." Li Zhu said lightly: "Childe, the dragon boat you see is only the main boat, and there are thousands of escort boats, but the distance is too far to stand here and you can't see it." ”
There were many dignitaries playing by the Luoshui side, and it was inconvenient to discuss the rights and wrongs of His Majesty, so the two stood by the Luoshui for a while, and then walked back.
"Luoshui is Nanshi, and if you go up Luoshui, you can see Yingtianmen." Li Zhu gave a general description of the layout of Luoyang City.
"It only took a year to complete such a big project." Li Xuanba sighed.
Luoyang was originally just a ruin, in the first year of the great cause, Yang Guang personally chose the site, and ordered Yang Su, Yang Da, and Yu Wenkai to be responsible for the construction of the eastern capital, and the following year, the eastern capital was completed.
After shopping for nearly two hours, the two returned to the house, the next person had prepared the meal, and Li Gou quietly hid aside. Li Xuanba called him to his side and chatted a few words, and Li Gou returned to his original appearance.
The moon rises and the moon sets, and the night passes.
When Li Xuanba was sleeping, he heard Li Gou shouting outside the door, and said in his heart, could it be that Yuwen Chengdu had come to the Tang Mansion to eat again? In desperation, I could only get up and open the door.
"Childe, the father-in-law in the palace is here again, and he is already waiting in the front hall." As soon as the door opened, Li Gou rushed in and said anxiously.
"I only entered the palace the day before yesterday, why did you come to me again?" After being disturbed by his dream for two consecutive days, Li Xuanba got dressed with an unhappy face, then wiped his face indiscriminately, and walked slowly towards the front hall. Li Gou turned around three times in one step, and he was anxious to just want to carry Li Xuanba again.
Seeing the door of the front hall, Li Xuanba's speed suddenly became faster, and even his breath began to become unstable, and he said as he walked: "Let you hurry up, you are still so slow, let Chang Gonggong wait in a hurry, see that I don't pick your skin." After speaking, I happened to see Grandpa Chang who had just stood up.
Li Gou stopped behind Li Xuanba, and it took a long time to react, Li Xuanba's words were actually said to him, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"If it's not in the way, let's be lazy and rest for a while." Grandpa Chang said politely with a smile on his face.
Li Xuan thanked him domineeringly, glanced back at Li Gou, and reprimanded: "Don't you want to thank Grandpa Chang?" ”
Li Gou wanted to cry without tears, but he didn't dare to argue, so he could only apologize sincerely, Chang Gonggong didn't take this matter to heart, and hurriedly said that he didn't need to.
After bullying Li Gou, Li Xuanba was woken up by most of the resentment, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Father-in-law Chang is doing when he comes here?" ”
"Oops, how did you forget about business." Father-in-law Chang patted his thigh and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has sent an edict to let your lord accompany King Zhao to study, and it will start today." ”
A carriage galloped in Luoyang City, and everywhere it passed, the people bowed their heads and did not dare to look directly.
"Father-in-law Chang, don't sleep yet." Li Xuanba said with a sad face: "Why did Your Majesty let me go to study with King Zhao?" I can't even read all the words, so I'm not qualified at all! ”
Father-in-law Chang rarely had time to take a nap, but after Li Xuanba got in the car, he kept asking questions, and he couldn't even close his eyes when he was so noisy.
"My lord, how can the thoughts of Your Majesty be speculated by those of us who are slaves?" Father-in-law Chang was helpless, so he had to reply: "Being able to study with King Zhao is a great gift, I don't know how many people envy it?" ”
"What is there to envy?" Li Xuanba muttered.
"Do you know where King Zhao went to school?" Chang Gonggong said meaningfully.
"Guozijian?" Li Xuanba replied with some uncertainty.
Gonggong Chang nodded and said: "Those Taifu of Guozijian are all people who ask questions from universities, not to mention the children of ordinary people, even the children of the ministers of the imperial court, and they are all vying to study in Guozijian." ”
Several princes are studying in the country, and His Majesty has not made a prince, of course they want to go. Li Xuanba said in his heart.
"Can I give this opportunity to someone else?" Li Xuanba asked cautiously: "Father-in-law, do you think that if I propose this matter to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will agree?" ”
"Although it is only a verbal message, as soon as Your Majesty opens Chrysostom, do you think it is appropriate for you to open this mouth again?" Father-in-law Chang said with a smile.
When Li Xuanba heard this, he instantly squatted in the corner of the carriage like a deflated ball, drawing circles boringly. Grandpa Chang smiled, closed his eyes and went to recuperate.
The King of Zhao in the mouth of Chang Gonggong is Yang Guang's third son: Yang Gao.
Yang Guang had a total of three sons, and the crown prince Yang Zhao died early. The second prince, Yang Yong, is arrogant and arrogant, and has gradually fallen out of favor in recent years. Although the third prince Yang Gao is young, he is very smart and deeply loved by Yang Guang.
It is precisely because Yang Guang loves Yang Gao that Yang Gao's teachers are all selected by thousands of people, and his companions are all after the third prince.
At this time, His Majesty suddenly asked Zhongyongwei to be the companion of King Zhao, and it is conceivable that His Majesty's favor for Zhongyongwei seems to be deeper. Chang Gonggong lay in the carriage with his eyes closed, calculating Li Xuanba's position in Yang Guang's heart, and after a while, he felt sleepy.
"Gonggong Chang, is King Zhao alone?" After Li Xuanba finished drawing the circle, he began to ask again, if you look closely at Li Xuanba's eyes, you can see a trace of cunning in it.
"Princess Lingxiu has loved reading since she was a child, and His Majesty let the princess also study in Guozijian." As soon as Father-in-law Chang felt sleepy, he was woken up by Li Xuanba, and said without tears.
Li Xuanba let out an "oh" and quieted down.
Grandpa Chang sighed and closed his eyes again.
"Father-in-law, you say, should I go to the palace to meet Your Majesty first?" Li Xuanba was silent for a while, estimating that Chang Gonggong was almost asleep, and asked again.
"No, I don't." Chang Gonggong woke up, just about to get angry, seeing Li Xuanba's innocent expression, and thinking of His Majesty's favor for him, he replied softly.
Li Xuanba heard the sound of gritting his teeth from Father-in-law Chang's words, and knew that Father-in-law Chang was about to get angry, so he nodded and said, "I know, father-in-law, you have a good rest, I won't speak." ”
