On the Shangyuan Festival in the second year of Zhenguan, Li Er, the supreme leader of the Tang Empire and the president and CEO of the Datang Group, had a bad time. Because I didn't receive good news that day, I was fooled by Yuan Shoucheng in the morning, and then I was hit by Wei Heizi, and finally the scientist jumped out again, saying that there would be a locust plague this year. In short, this day was annoying, but Li Er was still patient and summoned the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the representatives of the five surnames and Qiwang in the court, Cui Xiang of the household department, Zheng Qiao of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Cangde of the Ministry of Industry, and Lu Defeng of the Ministry of Officials, these are the highest officials with the five surnames and seven wangs in the court. This time it must be inseparable from the support of these great families, otherwise Datang may not be able to survive.
In the side hall of the Lizheng Palace, these ministers were already waiting, and the sky was already dark. A full moon hangs high above the sky, making people can't help but look at the Tiangong Yao Pond on the moon. The moon has been a favorite fantasy object of those literati and writers since ancient times, and countless poems have recorded these fantasies.
But the people standing here at this moment don't have the heart to appreciate this round of full moon, they know that the emperor must have something important to summon them at this time, otherwise they should be happy with the people on the tower of the palace city at this moment. It's just that they can't think of what made this person summon them into the palace in such a hurry.
"Lord Eldest Sun, you are familiar with the Holy Lord. Can you know what's going on? Cui Xiang asked the eldest grandson Wuji.
"This, Lady Cui. I don't know this time! But it must be a matter of great urgency, otherwise I would not have been summoned at this time! The eldest grandson Wuji replied.
"I'm afraid it's not a good thing! I just don't know what kind of Cheng dù is Yan zhòng! Fang Xuanling's face sank like water. When Li Er's holy decree was issued, he felt that something was wrong, with his understanding of Li Er, it wasn't for something earth-shattering, Li Er would not have made such a move on Shangyuan Night, and he refused to delay it all night.
"Moreover, Lord Wang, Lord Lu, and Lord Zheng are all here, it seems that this time the matter is not small, otherwise I wouldn't invite all of you to come!" Du Ruhui stroked his beard. Yellowish complexion. In the past two years, his body has gradually become wrong, but he can't find the cause, so he can only dry up.
"Anyway, I'll know when His Majesty comes!" Zheng Qiao said out loud.
"The emperor has arrived!" The sound of the little yellow door sounded, and Li Er came.
Li Er had a calm face, and slowly paced into the side hall, as if he was still thinking, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and his forehead was wrinkled into a Sichuan character.
"Ministers, see Majesty!" Several ministers saluted.
"No courtesy. Flat! Li Er finally came back to his senses and stretched out his hand and waved.
"Thank you!"
"Today's hasty summons of you is a matter of Datang Sheji, I hope you can fully support!" Li Er went straight in with a single knife. Point it out directly.
"Ministers are all over the place!" The ministers began to show their loyalty.
"Here's a copy of the information, let's talk about it after we circulate it!" Li Er handed what Li Kuan had given him to the eldest grandson Wuji, who was standing closest to him. The eldest grandson Wuji took it with both hands. Then unfold and look at a beginning. He frowned.
The ministers circulated it one by one, and all of them looked sad after reading it. They're all brilliant people. How can you not see the hidden message? But it is precisely by seeing these hidden things that they will be nerve-wracking.
"Your Majesty, where did this thing come from, and is it reliable?" Cui Xiang was the first to speak, not that he wanted to steal the limelight, but that he Qinghe Cui clan occupied several of these states, which was the foundation of their family, if something really happened, then Qinghe Cui clan would be broken.
"I've sent someone to check it out, but I'd rather believe that this thing exists than that it doesn't! The source of this time is the same as the last Weishui Alliance, and I believe that you also know the prophecy given by the one last time, and this time it should not be without purpose. "Li Er really wants to meet this Liu Bowen, he is really talented, I'm afraid Zhuge Wolong in the Three Kingdoms period is nothing more than that. But the scientist is hidden unfathomable, he Li Er is beyond the reach of the whip, he has not even touched the edge of other people's houses for so long, and the deep palace compound is like no one. Even the Dark Guard, who is now the Hundred Cavalry Division, did not find any clues, which made him only look up to the sky and sigh.
"In that case, let's plan ahead! Otherwise, it will be really late!" Du Ruhui said loudly.
"Yes! Last winter's warm day, these eggs were definitely not frozen to death, and when these eggs hatched, it would be a disaster! Wang Cangde, who hadn't spoken much, said loudly.
"Ministers seconded the proposal...... "All the ministers knew the tricky process of this matter, so they all no longer hesitated, hoping to come up with an idea."
……
On this night, the side hall of the Lizheng Hall was brightly lit, and the shadows were scorching until dawn. Although I don't know what the result of the negotiation is, but from this day on, the Datang official began to come forward to collect the excess grain from all over the country, which is a little higher than the price given by the grain merchants around the country, not only the official is collecting the grain, but also the big families with five surnames and seven wang are also receiving, and the grain harvested in the first year of the entire Tang Zhenguan is bought except for the rations that the people keep their own rations, because the grain merchants from all over the country smell the business opportunities and hoard the grain, as well as the nobles, the royal family and these people also quietly follow the hoarding of food. Although these people don't know the inside story, they know what the official and the family are doing, so they must have their intentions, so it is always not wrong to follow the trend.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is a few months. Li Kuan was taking his giant dog and a group of little brothers on the street this day. When the surrounding people saw the big dog, they all unconsciously gave way and stayed away. So all the way unimpeded, Li Kuan's side Xiao Tianxiang followed, holding the reins of Xiao Ash in one hand, staring at the shops on both sides of the street with big eyes, which was very novel.
The little girl has been in the palace most of the past two years, and Li Kuan doesn't take her with her every time she goes out of the palace, so it looks very novel.
"Let's go, the little girl can't get enough of it!" Li Kuan stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Tianxiang and dragged her forward. There were a few wagons waiting there. The little gray ash was handed over to a subordinate to lead, and Li Kuan comforted the big dog a few words before settling down. For as soon as it approached the carriage, the horses pulling the carriage must have panicked, either running and jumping in fright, or trembling and not moving.
The carriage went out of the city, this time it was out of the city, Li Lizhen and Xiao Yuzhang were arguing to come, but Li Chengqian, who ran out of the middle of the road, was pulled to the school to take classes, Li Kuan has not gone to school for several years, but Li Lizhen and Xiao Yuzhang have not had such freedom, they still have to go to school, otherwise those masters will complain to Li Er and the eldest grandson, Li Lizhen has suffered two losses and never dared to skip class, but Xiao Yuzhang has been taught repeatedly, anyway, relying on his young age, let those masters blow their beards and stare at her.
The carriage was bumping on the official road, thinking about the pleasure outside the city and going, it is a common place for Chang'an people to go out, and there are many Chang'an people here today to play, and it is the right place to see Chang'an City here, the square Chang'an City is like a big chessboard, and it is like a ridge of vegetables.
Leyouyuan is the highest point in Chang'an, and there is also the Leyou Temple left by the Han Dynasty, and it is this temple that makes people call this place Leyouyuan. It is close to Qujiang Pond, with beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery.
Li Kuan held the little gray ash in his hand and admired it everywhere, the three brothers of the Cheng family quarreled with the two big men of the Wei Chi family again, both sides were in artillery battles, and they would explode at one point, so they started to fight again. Li Pengcheng, Liu Pengju, and others stood by to fan the flames, and they had no intention of persuading them to fight. Li Kuan shook his head, these gangs are still half-grown children, none of them are stable temperaments, this whole martial arts is staged again and again, the three Cheng family have always been at odds with the two of the Wei Chi family, it may be influenced by their father.
At this moment, Li Kuan noticed that on the official road leading to Chang'an, a horse galloped alone, and gradually got closer Li Kuan saw clearly that it was not a ride, but a person with three horses, with red cherry blossoms on the top of his head.
"Why, it's so fascinating!" The two brothers, Li Huaiyi and Li Huairen, are the closest relatives to Li Kuan in this group, and they speak more casually, and the others are all His Highnesses.
"Look!" Li Kuan pointed to the official road below for the two brothers to see.
"Hongling urgently, is there a war there?" Li Huairen also recognized it.
"Probably not! The army did not move. Li Huaiyi denied that his father Li Xiaogong was also a high-ranking position in Zuo Wuwei, and if the army had any moves, he would definitely know, but Li Xiaogong had been at home for the past two months, and he didn't go anywhere, which means that it was not a war.
"Could it be that there is a natural disaster somewhere?" Li Huairen guessed again.
"It's still possible!" Li Kuan replied like this on his lips, but his heart was like a mirror, this must be a plague of locusts, and there will be many such messengers in the next few days. has already reminded that his cheap father must have been prepared for a long time. Datang should be able to get through this difficulty! Li Kuan said silently in his heart.
The group continued to play on their own, Cheng Chumo took Yu Chi brand panda glasses and came to open the way for Li Kuan, the two little Zhengtai behind him were also clothed, Cheng Chuliang's face was bruised a large piece, and Cheng Chubi's clothes were torn. On the other side, the two brothers Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Chi Baoqing are also very wolf, although these two guys are more powerful than Li Kuan, there is no opponent in this group of people except Li Kuan, but the three boys of the Cheng family are like monkeys, slippery and tight, and they don't fight with the two of them at all, but they left a lot of fists and footprints on the two of them in the fight. In the end, the two brothers fought hard and directly caught Cheng Chumo, which won the victory. (To be continued......)
