Chapter 21: Three Strategies for Horse Taming, Listening to Yuanda (II)
"Prince, you look much better again."
"Hmm."
"Prince, the slave maid heard that the little lady of the Yang family is sick." When Bi'er said this, she slowed down the action of combing Li Wei's hair, and looked at Li Wei's face in the bronze mirror.
"Hmm."
"Prince, do you want to give her a chance?"
"You little girl, the bottom is a knife mouth and a tofu heart. You know how far this road is," Li Wei pointed in the direction of Taiji Palace, and said: "It's so difficult, if it's someone else, I don't want the closest person to add countless troubles to me." If she can reflect on it this time, her family can reflect on it, and Lone will forget about it. If you don't reflect, you can't be indiscriminate. ”
This time I really misunderstood Yang Min. But if there is no cause, how can there be an effect? Besides, whether Yang Min likes him as a person, or does he like him as a prince, if it is the latter, and then cause trouble, even if she is as beautiful as a flower, she has to have a long pain that is better than a short pain.
"The human heart is the most unpredictable in the world." I sighed inexplicably.
After combing his hair, he was about to enter school, and the doctor who gave him a lecture today was also an interesting person, named Pei Ji. Dr. Wang gave him a copy of "The Ram", Pei Ji gave him a copy of "The Art of War" and "The Art of War of Wu Zi", and a few big characters were written on the title page: Humanity in the way of war is also a principle.
The two of them were also afraid of other big Confucians gossiping, so they did it secretly.
It seems that not all Confucians are stubborn.
After finishing speaking, he was about to go out, when someone from outside came to report again, saying that it was Luoyang's holy decree.
Is it a holy decree again? Li Wei was stunned for a moment. Although it is said that there are only seven or eight hundred miles from Luoyang to Chang'an, if it is fast, it will be there in one day and one night. But this decree came too often. And the first two decrees ......
Helpless, he went out.
Another eunuch changed, stood in the house, opened the holy decree and read: "February is coming to an end, spring ploughing is imminent, you are in the field of my hometown, ploughing the field, I heard about the pass, after a long time of rain, ploughing after it, on behalf of the great ......"
Li Wei was stunned again, he was reading the book of rites every day, and he knew it very clearly. In the Tang Dynasty, the round mound sacrificed to the sky, the square mound sacrificed to the earth, and the shrine altar sacrificed to the god of grains and the god of the land. There is also Ji Qiumingtang to sacrifice grain animals to the Emperor of Heaven, the suburbs sacrifice to the five emperors, and the Lingxing Temple in the northwest suburbs to sacrifice the priest, the priest, and the priest. Looking at the mountains and rivers in all directions, a sacrifice is made every year to five mountains, four desecrations, four seas, and four towns. Seal Zen. Wait a minute. There are too many sacrifices, big sacrifices and small sacrifices, in fact, even the emperor who values the sacrifice the most, and he may not do it one by one, and he will not sacrifice when he sacrifices.
It is a sacrifice for rain, which is routinely held on the round hill in midsummer, and is held at any time in summer and autumn during the great drought, and there are also sacrifices such as praying for the temple, praying for the shrine, praying for the mountains and rivers of the five mountains and rivers in the northern suburbs. After the beginning of spring, the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials to the altar of the home field to first sacrifice, and then personally cultivated, in order to show that he attached importance to agriculture, persuaded the world, and encouraged farming.
Both of these are great sacrifices, especially in this year of great drought, and they need to be presided over by the emperor. In fact, in Luoyang, the eastern capital, it can also be operated. Why did you let yourself host in Chang'an?
What's the message in between?
The brain was buzzing, and the eunuch read again: "I am immoral, the heavens are arrogant, and the country has endured years of drought and flood." The people are in distress, and the treasury is empty. When sacrificing, you need to be frugal and sincere. "That is, the country has suffered great disasters in the past few years, and there is no money in the treasury, so it is necessary to save money to preside over these two sacrifices, but you can't let the heavens be angry, so you must be sincere.
Or to put it in layman's terms, I want the horse to be good, and I want the horse not to eat grass.
Li Wei doesn't have to worry about this, and officials from various ministries control it. But I also know my son's character, and I am very relieved that this important joint has been brought over in just one sentence. Then he read down: "Sister Yiyang Xuancheng, you are already strong, and you need to get married." The Ministry of Rites has prepared a date, I and the queen are not in Chang'an, and you will preside over for me. ”
It was about Wu Zetian who couldn't see it and was not upset, so he happened to be in Luoyang, so he married Concubine Xiao Shufei's two daughters, saving him from going back to Chang'an, and he had to come forward embarrassedly. However, this was originally done by himself in the book.
Or does it mean that the old lady is still angry?
Li Wei couldn't figure it out, and he was crazy. He waited until the holy decree was finished, and said: "This chamberlain, can you tell your father and queen mother for Gu that Gu is still inexperienced, this matter is very important, and it is beyond the ability of his son." ”
The chamberlain smiled slightly and said, "When the slave and maid came, Your Majesty and the queen said that you are getting older, and you have to learn to do some things. Besides, February is coming to an end, and now it's too late to play the Holy Lord. The drought is serious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there must be no delay. ”
The wedding of the two princesses was held at the end of March, and the big goose could also be postponed slightly, but Jitian was imminent, not to mention the return to Luoyang, even if it was done immediately, there were only two or three days.
Li Wei wondered if the reason why Li Zhi made this holy decree at this time was because he deliberately happened to the right time.
He immediately shouted: "Prepare the car, Lone is ready to go to the Yanying Palace." ”
The eunuch grabbed him and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, there are two more decrees, which belong to the queen." ”
Li Wei was as if he had cast a fixed body method, and when he heard the word queen, he stood motionless and said respectfully: "Please declare the decree of the inner servant." ”
The eunuch said: "Hong'er, it's time for Yue'er to enter the Hongwen Pavilion to study, and Lone didn't bring her to Luoyang. But Lone heard in Luoyang that she was reluctant to go to school, and Lone heard that during this time, Yue'er was very dependent on you, so she persuaded Lone. In addition, Lone heard that there was a novelty in your inner palace, called the abacus, the calculation of accounts is very simple, and the use of this thing was brought to Luoyang, so that Lone could see it. ”
Without. But Li Wei was dripping in cold sweat.
Li Lingyue often runs here, and he can't hide this news if he wants to, which is also deliberate by him. But the abacus is only known to a few people, and it has only been used once, and it is still used to close the door of the treasury book. This time has not passed long, how did my mother know. Could it be that she has clairvoyance?
But he didn't dare to ask questions, and said respectfully again: "I will listen to the decree of the queen mother." ”
The eunuch smiled and nodded, and said, "Work hard, since you offered that toffee, and you treated your younger siblings well, it is rumored that Luoyang, Your Majesty and the Queen are very happy." ”
Li Wei's face immediately showed surprise, these nearly 20 days, I have been scared, if it weren't for the fact that I often touched a handful of Bi'er's pigeon eggs, rubbed the oil, and played ambiguously, I couldn't live this day. Finally heard good news. It's not that if he goes to school these days, so that his cultivation can be improved, he can pounce and hug this eunuch who conveyed the news.
Immediately said: "Reward, reward." ”
Lao Du's comic poems were ecstatic, what was Lao Du's mentality when he wrote it, and what is Li Wei's mentality now.
Not only that, but this proves that his mother still eats his own trick, and he doesn't know the history clearly, so he is worried about his mother's psychology? I don't have to be an emperor, any son and husband are floating clouds, and then if I don't get in, I will have nothing to lose. Fight against Lao Wu? Okay? Then I had to prepare in advance, and then learn from Tang Sanzang, smuggle away, run to a foreign country, and steal my life, how can it be better than dying in the end.
It's easy to eat, and after a few months, I will offer bamboo paper to her, and then next year, I will have a movable type printing, and the year after tomorrow, I will have a compass.
"Prince, you don't have to, you love the people, you often help them, and your own resources are limited, so you don't have to spend money on slaves and maids. As long as the prince remembers the name of the slave and maid, Wang Cainian will do. ”
These are all interesting eunuchs. And it is confirmed that the wind direction in Luoyang is changing!
Li Wei said happily: "Oh! ”
Let Liu Qun take the abacus and abacus duel. Addition and subtraction are easy to understand, that is, the decision to withdraw from business and the decision of nine to business, not to mention the abacus, some of them far exceed the computing power of this era.
Wang Cainian is obviously still an intellectual, and he also attaches great importance to arithmetic in this era, such as "Nine Chapters", "Five Cao", "Island", "Zhang Qiujian", "Xia Houyang", "Zhou Ji", "Ancient Seizure", "Remembering the Legacy", "Third Equal Numbers", and "Fixation", all of which are compulsory subjects in Guozi's arithmetic department.
After a long while, he said: "Forgive the slave and maid for being brave, can you let the slave and maid come up with a few questions, and the prince will demonstrate it." ”
The three plucks are the most easy-going attitude of this eunuch, of course, it is not that he is easy-going, it is the direction of the wind above.
"Please."
How many questions have come up, what problems can be made now? Wang Cainian will not let Li Wei accurately reduce pi to ten decimal places. After saying the front, the abacus beads crackled in the back, and the answer came out.
"This is a great good," Wang Cainian said after a while.
But Li Wei may not be happy when he hears it, so he is afraid that his name will be high, so he immediately said: "This is just a small road. Governing the country is the way, like the great disasters in recent years, but the country is governed by the father and the queen mother, and the people have no complaints. They are the role models of their sons. ”
Words can make Wei Siwen say that, and in turn, Li Wei can say this.
Wang Cainian was even happier and said: "The prince is benevolent and filial, which is rare in ancient and modern times. The slave maid will definitely bring the prince's heart to Luoyang. ”
"The humility of the king's servants, Gu will always be remembered."
After finishing speaking, the two smiled knowingly, and Wang Cainian arched his hand and said: "Prince, the date for you to prepare to plough is very short, and the slave and maid will not bother you and leave." ”
Sent Wang Cainian away and immediately rushed to Yanying Palace.
Dai Zhide and others were both happy and sad when they heard this.
Most of these people are also in charge of the East Palace, and the battle of the Heavenly Family is not a big problem. If there is no fighting, it is still very beneficial for them to complete the transition of power. Whether the right can be successfully completed, the performance of the prince, and the attitude of the Son of Heaven. Li Zhi asked the crown prince to preside over the pro-cultivation and the big pheasant, and he had already stepped into the first step of the transition of power, although this step was small, but it was more substantive than the "prison".
Sorrow is how this sacrifice is organized. It's a little better to plough yourself, the time is also very short, the big pheasant etiquette is cumbersome, especially the big pheasant sacrifice in the year of the great drought, and you have to be sincere and economical, so there is this good thing? It sounds contradictory, but it's true.
After Li Zhi became emperor, although he launched several large-scale battles with the outside world, he was cautious in governing the country, so the history is called the rule of Yonghui of Xiaozhenguan. The country's finances are also healthy. But no matter how good the family foundation is, it can't stand the toss of God in the past few years. Xue Rengui's defeat in Dafeichuan made matters worse. There is not much money left in the treasury, and even if there is, some of it is left to prevent the drought from continuing.
Officials from various ministries had to be called. Of course, they are all important officials, like Li Qiao, who supervises the imperial history, and is not qualified to enter.
There is no good way for everyone, but there is one way, arrange the pro-ploughing sacrifice first, otherwise it will be delayed. This sacrifice does not require a lot.
Da Yan can only take his time and find a way.
But all the officials became very cautious about Li Wei's attitude. Yang Sijian was also among them, he looked at Li Wei several times and wanted to stop, Li Wei shook his head in his heart, as if he didn't see it. After discussion, Li Wei continued his studies. My father and mother further delegated power, but don't really accept this right.
"Tired," Li Wei sighed when he came back from Chongwen Pavilion, watching the flowers bloom all the way.
Whining is complaining, but the mood is good. Even when I saw the plum blossoms that began to wither on the side of the road, I felt that they were still very beautiful.
………………………………
The fact that the crown prince presided over the pro-ploughing and the sacrifice of the big pheasant on behalf of the Son of Heaven soon spread.
The people were very happy to hear this, Prince In.
But when Helan Minzhi heard this, his face darkened suddenly, he reached out and threw out a few teacups on the table, and then said to the servant girl who was waiting: "XXX, get out!" Get lost! Get lost! ”
A few pretty maids hurriedly retreated.
Zhang Bangyan said: "Guogong, should you say something that you should say? ”
"Say."
The crown prince's body slowly recovered, and the saint and the queen changed their attitude towards him, although it was just a sacrifice, it didn't mean anything. But it also means that the prince advised the two princesses to marry at the moment, which did not affect the saint and the queen's opinion of the prince. Or there is disgust, but the saint is not a person who acts alone like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Now Guogong, as a relative of the queen, should take the initiative to befriend the prince, so that the queen thinks that Guogong has a large number of people. There is no need to be an enemy of the crown prince. Besides, the status of the national prince is already the national ......"
I didn't say it in the next sentence, even if I tossed it again, it was just the prince of the country, and there was no great merit, could it be that you would be crowned king, or could you take the place of the prince?
"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you know what I have with the prince? As long as he comes to power, I won't have a good life! Get out, get out of here! ”
Zhang Bangyan was also frightened and retreated, but when he walked out, he shook his head and said to himself: "I'm crazy!" ”
No, I have to find a way, or I won't know how to die in the end.
Speaking of this, he looked in the direction of the East Palace......
Thinking about his thoughts, the sky was approaching dusk, and the countless tall buildings in Chang'an City gradually became blurred, and suddenly a servant came over and said to him: "Guogong, please." ”
had to walk in again, in addition to him, there were some other close staff members of Helan Minzhi, Helan Minzhi said: "I have thought of a good way." ”
Saying that, he said his idea, if you don't consider the overall situation, this method is not a bad method, and immediately a sound of flattery sounded, and Helan Minzhi laughed proudly......
