Chapter 21 How Far Is Five Miles?
In the city of Chang'an, in the Taiji Palace. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info a piece of red makeup, the snow covered by the black eaves of the palace and the vermilion palace wall in the palace contrast with each other, under the illumination of the morning sun, it seems to add a layer of gold to the center of the Tang Dynasty, which looks extraordinarily enchanting. The pavilions and pavilions of the entire Taiji Palace stand as always, as if the silent soldiers are looking into the distance, and the layout of the palace is symmetrical and rhythmic, not as cumbersome as the complex pavilions of the Qin and Han dynasties, which makes people not know the west and the east. The color scheme of the building is black and red, giving people a sense of solemnity and majesty, and there is no pompous feeling like the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty.
Today is the third day of Yuanzheng, and the entire Taiji Palace does not seem to be in a hurry, because the ministers are still in the middle of the rest period, so there are not many people who come to see Lao Li. Lao Li was not diligent in the Taiji Palace, but turned to the Liangyi Hall to meet some courtiers who had a family relationship with the Li royal family, that is, to have a family gathering-style reception.
The arrangement of the Liangyi Hall is not as magnificent as the Taiji Hall of the Great Dynasty, and there is no slope sculpture of the five-clawed golden dragon, and the slightly lower steps are surrounded by white marble carved fences and pier pillars, which are decorated with simple dragon-shaped totemic-like patterns, and occasionally cranes and auspicious clouds float by, which seems to be a fairy family artistic conception.
Around the end of the day, Lao Li, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not meet with any ministers, but only reviewed the recital on the dragon case, because Lao Li was waiting for his imperial governor to come and return to his life.
Wang De walked into the Wanchun Palace, the side hall of the Liangyi Palace, and saw that Lao Li was bowing his head and writing something, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise, but just called in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the old slave has come to reply to the decree." ”
"What did the kid say?"
Wang De bowed and said, "His Royal Highness said that he would not delay Princess Jinyang's illness, please rest assured." ”
Lao Li didn't raise his head, still reviewing the chapters, but the handwriting began to be a little messy. It's just that his brows relaxed, he showed a little remorse, and said lightly: "I want to regret it now, why did I promise to give him Furong Garden to help the little son and Lizhi recuperate, Ke'er is not a famous doctor, but I ate hot pot yesterday, and I don't know how to say it." ”
Wang De continued: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the old slave saw that His Royal Highness was relaxed after receiving the order, presumably His Royal Highness was already confident, and he also asked the old slave to return to His Majesty and wanted to ask for a palace ban card in order to meet His Majesty at any time, and wanted His Majesty to give a piece of land on the outskirts of the city near the Hibiscus Garden for expansion, by the way, the hot pot made by His Royal Highness The old slave has been sent to the Shangshi Bureau, and His Majesty wants to eat hot pot at noon?" ””
Wang De accepted Li Ke's gold leaves and naturally wanted to say something for Li Ke, but he didn't know what Li Ke wanted to do with the land around the Furong Garden, and thought that Li Ke wanted to expand the Furong Garden.
"Oh" Lao Li heard that the hot pot presented by Li Ke had arrived, and he was instantly interested, and said: "Let's eat hot pot at noon," after speaking, he didn't approve the chapter, raised his head and looked at Wang De, and said with a little meaning: "Ke'er wants a palace ban card, give it to him, but this hibiscus garden is big enough, why does he want so much land?" ”
"But the old slave doesn't know this." Wang De bowed when he heard this.
Although Lao Li didn't know what Li Ke wanted to do, Lao Li was a decisive king after all, so he didn't hesitate and said lightly; "That's it, go to Jingzhao Mansion and let people allocate the 600 acres of Huangzhuang around Furong Garden to him, if it is still not enough, let him figure it out by himself, and now there is not much money and grain in the inner treasury, and he can't move the money to buy land for him."
"Yes, the old slave will do it." Wang De bowed and retreated.
In the early years of Wude, an adult male could grant land at most, including open fields and mulberry fields, reaching as many as 50 or 60 acres. Now more than ten years have passed, and there is no extra land to grant in Guanzhong in the middle of Zhenguan, so Lao Li naturally has no way to encircle the field and grant it to Li Ke, so he has to give Li Ke a few hundred acres of imperial villages around the Furong Garden managed by the royal family.
As soon as Wang De withdrew, a small head stuck in, who else was not a little son.
As soon as Lao Li saw the little son coming, he didn't think about why Li Ke wanted so much land, he looked at the little son with a smile on his face, and said: "My little son is awake, haha, my father is not going to court today, so I have to accompany my little son well." ”
I saw the little son slowly walk up to Lao Li, pull Lao Li's shirt, and whimper: "The little son doesn't want to go to the Hibiscus Garden." ”
Lao Li also became warm at this moment, knowing that Jin Yang didn't want to leave his father, he said softly: "Little son, this palace is smoky, I don't want my little son to be sick forever." As he spoke, he picked up the little son and held it in his arms to comfort him.
"Then can the little son come back to see his father after he has recovered his body?" Jinyang didn't know where the Hibiscus Garden was, and thought he was going to a far, far place. A pair of big eyes looked at Lao Li with blazing eyes, hoping to get a positive answer.
"Haha, I don't need you to come to see my father, my father can also go to see you if it's okay, the Hibiscus Garden is five miles south of the city, and I will come to see you after I finish handling the chapter." Lao Li laughed and laughed.
Jin Yang knew that Lao Li was comforting herself, she knew that Lao Li had countless pieces to review, but when she heard Lao Li say that he would come to see her, she also burst into tears and laughed. Said: "How far is five miles, there is a distance from here to the palace gate." ”
Lao Li laughed and explained to the little son: "It's not far, this is a thousand steps, five miles is five thousand steps, the father is riding in the car, and the little son will arrive after drinking two bowls of tea." ”
The little son was still reluctant, because he had been taken by Lao Li since he was a child, so he still wanted to find a support, and said weakly: "Will the young slave brother also go to the Hibiscus Garden?" ”
Lao Li pondered for a while, and then agreed with a smile, after all, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was only eleven or twelve years old, and he had not yet reached the age of participating in politics in the previous dynasty.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Li Zhi, who is not in class on vacation at Hongwen Hall today, is also trying to play with the little son, and he heard that the little son is here with Lao Li, and he is looking for it all the way.
"I've seen my father." Li Zhi bowed, saw the little son mention himself, and continued: "What is the sister-in-law talking about just now? ”
The little son pouted and said, "Brother Childish Slave is so stupid, and Brother Son just said that he wants you to live in Hibiscus Garden with Son." ”
Li Zhi was obviously a little moved, obviously Li Ke's hot pot yesterday moved him, but seeing that Lao Li was still a little restrained and didn't dare to say that he wanted to go, that state was like a child who wanted to buy a toy, but didn't dare to ask his parents for pocket money.
Lao Li said at this time: "Child, you should also go to live in Furong Garden, take good care of the little son for me, I will go to see you after the government, but if you live there childish, your studies cannot be wasted, and you still have to go to school in Chongwen Hall on time after the Lantern Festival, and you must not be late." ”
As soon as Li Zhi heard that after he went to Furong Garden, he had to rush back to the palace to go to school, so he didn't have to get up much earlier. I can't help but want to give up the idea of living in Hibiscus Garden. Seeing that his young slave brother was hesitant again, the little son sobbed and said, "Brother the young slave doesn't want the little son," There is a situation where you don't agree to me and cry non-stop.
