Chapter 259 Leisurely see Nanshan
The fourteenth year of Zhenguan passed quickly, and it was May and June in a trance.
A lot of things happened during this period, Hou Junji led the army to embark on the road of the expedition to Gaochang, and the victory or defeat is not yet known.
Emperor Li Shimin visited the Wei Palace, Yankangfang, and praised the progress of Li Tai, the king of Wei, in compiling the "Chronicles of the Ancient Lands", and rewarded him a lot.
The prince Li Xin was even more favored, and it is said that the emperor intended to give him the title of county king, but Li Taiwan refused. However, the news of this move is still even more surprising.
Many people can't help but think that when the emperor was still the king of Qin, his sons Li Chengqian and Li Ke were knighted as the king of Zhongshan County and the king of Changsha County respectively. (Li Tai was succeeded by Li Yuan to Li Shimin's fifth brother Li Zhiyun at that time, and was crowned King Wei)
When the King of Qin was king, because of his great military exploits, the sons were able to be crowned kings early, and now what did Li Tai, the king of Wei, do? The manuscript of "The Chronicles of the Universe" has not yet been completed, and it is not a great contribution to the country, even if it is completed, it is just a book, and it is just a reward for himself, so why should he be gracious to his son?
If you want the emperor's grandson to be crowned king at a young age, the son of the crown prince has this qualification, but now Li Xiang, the emperor's grandson of the East Palace, has not been crowned king at all, but it is the Wei Wangfu who first spread such news.
Is His Majesty the Emperor confused?
But if Li Shimin is in the Taiji Palace, who dares to say that His Majesty the Emperor is confused?
Since he is not confused, then why did His Majesty the Emperor do this? Is it simply because of pampering? I'm afraid it's not that simple!
In view of the various news that has gone viral in Chang'an City, many people seem to have understood the intention of His Majesty the Emperor's move. Although it was only mentioned and not implemented, it still caused quite a stir.
However, many people have overlooked one point, that is, the emperor intends to canonize Li Xin, and Li Tai naturally needs to be modest. The crux of the problem is that after Li Tai modestly excused himself, Li Shimin did not insist anymore and agreed to push the boat down the river.
What the hell did the emperor think in his heart. It seems somewhat intriguing.
But many people were confused by the next news and left the matter behind. Because Li Shimin announced in public that the people of Yankangfang, where the Wei Wangfu was located, would be exempted from servitude and taxes, and the elderly over 60 years old would be rewarded.
The emperor's grace is vast, the people of Yankangfang are simply grateful, although it is only a year of tax and servitude, but the emperor personally rewarded it, which is a great honor. Especially those who have been rewarded, the old tears are full of tears, and there is a feeling of shining lintel.
But they. As well as the officials in Chang'an City, they all know that the emperor will not give rewards to the people of Yankangfang inexplicably, and it is not because the Wei Wangfu is here.
Therefore, it is not so much that the reward is for the people of Yankangfang, but for His Royal Highness the King of Wei.
Then everyone had a feeling that the ordinary people next to the Wei Wangfu could get such a heavy reward, but what about the subordinate officials of the Wei Wangfu?
After the compilation of "The Chronicles of the Earth", those literati and in the Wei Wangfu will definitely be reused, and the future is bright. So, now it belongs to the Wei Wangfu. Future......
With such a thought, the Wei Wangfu suddenly had another round of endless guests in the palace, and the momentum was even greater.
As for the East Palace, it seems that the situation is getting more and more serious.
However, the crown prince Li Chengqian did not seem to be in a hurry at all. The performance is quite calm, and the East Palace is still as stable as ever, but in the eyes of outsiders, it can't help but look a little lonely.
The rumors of King Wei replacing the crown prince became more and more popular, and the city of Chang'an became more and more "lively".
……
Besides. Another sensational thing is the resignation of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.
At a court meeting one day, Xuanling, the left servant, suddenly submitted his resignation to Emperor Li Shimin, claiming that he was going to resign as prime minister.
As soon as this statement came out. There was an uproar all of a sudden.
Why is this happening? Why is Fang Xuanling good and what do you want to do? I haven't heard that Fang Xuanling has made any major mistakes, and I haven't heard that the emperor has any dissatisfaction with him, so why should he resign?
Even Emperor Li Shimin himself was a little surprised, and some didn't quite understand Fang Xuanling's approach.
Fang Xuanling's explanation for this is that he has been in the phase for fifteen years and has been in the state, but now that he is getting older and has little energy, he is afraid that he will live up to the emperor's entrustment and reward.
That's right!
Fang Xuanling seems to be less than sixty years old, deaf and clear-sighted, and in good spirits, he doesn't see anything bad in spirit! There is no mistake in making a mistake, and it seems that it is somewhat inadequate to resign on this ground.
To be sure, this is not what he really said.
Someone who is interested noticed that Fang Xiang seems to have something to say, maybe the second half of the sentence is what he really wants to express.
Being in the phase for fifteen years, this is a point, a person is in a central position, and one person is above ten thousand people for more than ten years, which has never happened in the past.
When you think about it, it's scary.
As for what is terrible, people with a heart obviously understand, after all, the prime minister and the emperor have always been a pair of potential enemies, although the monarch and the minister can complement each other. But the current contradictions and threats, or make the emperor suspicious, are in trouble.
Moreover, Fang Xuanling deliberately named the word reward.
Thinking about it, Fang Xuanling is the prime minister, Liang Guogong, the assassin of Songzhou, and his son Fang Yiai is married to Princess Gaoyang. His sister married King Han, and his wife was born in the Cui family in Shandong, a wealthy nobleman, and a relative of the emperor, which can be described as a flourishing moment.
But there is a way that prosperity must decline, and knowledgeable people often feel the crisis when they are cooking oil in a blazing fire, maybe Fang Xuanling feels this way now.
Therefore, he took the initiative to resign, probably to cool down the Fang family. Or Fang Xuanling has clearly felt the danger aura, after all, he is in a high position, and he is scheming, and it is not strange to see some things that others can't see.
It takes a lot of courage and a lot of wisdom to retreat from the rapids.
However, Fang Xuanling's resignation was rejected, and Emperor Li Shimin did not agree at all, so he didn't give Fang Xuanling a chance to continue, so he directly interrupted.
even walked down directly from Dan Majesty, patted Fang Xuanling's shoulder, and said a serious word.
What is said that the Gaochang Rebellion has not yet been calmed down, Xue Yantuo is still unstable, and the people of the world have not yet lived and worked in peace and contentment, how can they leave Aiqing to assist Yunyun.
In a word, he did not let Fang Xuanling resign.
The prime minister still let him go on in peace, and for the sake of Anfang Xuanling's heart, he also asked the palace province to prepare immediately, so that the Taishi Bureau could immediately choose a good day and handle the marriage between Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai as soon as possible.
Princess Gaoyang is not very old. I could have waited another year or two before getting married, but now in this situation, I definitely can't wait.
In addition, he also deliberately added an edict to Mrs. Fang, nominally as Princess Gaoyang's filial piety to her mother-in-law, but now it is more to appease Fang Xuanling.
The emperor treated him so favorably that Fang Xuanling naturally couldn't refuse, and he had no choice but to continue to take over the heavy courage of the prime minister.
So much so that some people think that Fang Xuanling is not retreating and wants to strive for more benefits. But only Fang Xuanling himself knows. This is not the situation he wants.
Now and in the next few years, the Fang family can still flourish for a while, but in the future, it will ......
Who knows?
The wind in Chang'an is even stronger than in previous years!
……
For these, Xie Yi didn't care much.
Since playing the Shaolingyuan polo game, Xie Yi has been extremely low-key, except for going to the Jin Wangfu every day to run errands, he is basically in a state of closing the door.
offended the crown prince and the king of Wei, which was a wise move in the eyes of others.
In addition, His Majesty the Emperor seems to be a little reluctant to see Bachelor Xie, and the envoy to Xue Yantuo can be regarded as a great achievement. But the court did not give the corresponding reward. However, the squire Di Zhixun was rewarded, and such a contrasting act inadvertently released a signal to everyone.
Mr. Xie has fallen out of favor!
is still a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion, and the history of the Jin Dynasty.
Anyway. The position of the head of the Jin Palace's history has not been lost, maybe it is the result of the mediation of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, or Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang!
That day, King Jin and Princess Jinyang defended the Xie family a lot, which was something that everyone witnessed, and now there is such a prince to protect them. It's safe.
But in the future......
No one is optimistic about Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who is now a child and can now maintain his long history. But in the future......
A hundred years after His Majesty the Emperor, whether it is the crown prince or the King of Wei, King Jin, as the brother of the new emperor, will inevitably lie dormant in peace.
Where can we protect an insignificant long history? A smart person, as long as he grows up, will definitely not say stupid things.
Therefore, it seems inevitable that Mr. Xie has fallen out of favor and has a bleak future.
Therefore, except for a very small number of close friends, there are no outsiders in Huaiyang County's Bofu at all, and it is extremely deserted. Even the Xie family's industries such as An Yixuan, the business has dimmed a lot.
Xie Yi didn't care about this at all, the Xie family didn't lack this money now, and the business was almost bad.
As for his future, Xie Yi is not worried, what does it matter if he makes you make a fuss now? The rafters that come out rot first, so why rush for a while?
No hurry!
As for Emperor Li Shimin's attitude, Xie Yi couldn't be sure, but he didn't care very much. The position of Hongwen Pavilion is not important, as long as the position of the chief of the Jin Dynasty is still there, then there is no problem, just wait quietly, who doesn't know who the victory belongs to.
As for the fact that no one came to the door, Xie Yi didn't care.
What does it matter to people with inflammatory trends, today's door is full of birds, and there will be an endless stream of people in the coming days, and stepping on high is low!
Why care, and be happy.
When it came to the Dragon Boat Festival in May, Li Zhi fell ill and stayed in the palace to recuperate, Xie Yi had nothing to do, and he had a lot of talents at home.
At this time, it happened that the Xie family's Rim Chuan Villa was completed, and Xie Yi immediately took a leave of absence and took his family to the Rim Chuan Villa to escape the summer.
The Rim River Villa was originally built by Song Zhiwen, a minister in the Wu Zetian period, and was later purchased by Wang Wei, the prime minister and a great poet, and renovated and rebuilt to become an excellent courtyard.
The local mountains are embraced, the woods are shaded, the pavilions and pavilions are simple and dignified. Outside the villa, the clouds and water are flowing, and there are occasional boats passing by, showing a leisurely and unconventional world, which is an excellent place for leisure.
Because it was decades earlier, no one has built another courtyard in the Gongchuan generation now, after all, it is too far away from Chang'an City. The courtyards of the magnates of Chang'an are mainly in Nanshan, that is, at the foot of the Qinling Mountains, but they can return to the city in an hour or two, while the Gongchuan River is in the upper reaches of the Bahe River, deep in the Qinling Mountains, and it is too time-consuming to travel back and forth.
Others think that it is far away, but it is a particularly good place for the Xie family today.
Out of Chang'an City, directly along the Bahe River, and then walked upstream. Xie Yi was surprised to find that the water on the Bahe River was surging, and there were boats and boats coming and going. Recalling carefully, it seems that I have seen in some texts in my previous life, Wang Wei traveled to and from Chang'an from Gongchuan Villa, and it seems that he can also take a boat.
That's right, eight rivers surround Chang'an, the ancient Chang'an water system is still quite developed, and now the grain from the south of the Yangtze River can be directly transported to Chang'an City through the Grand Canal.
As the largest water system outside Chang'an City in addition to the Wei River, it is not surprising that the Bahe River can be navigated. But in the future generations, where is there still the shadow of ships in the land of Guanzhong?
Even the disappearance of Xian/Yanggudu, one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, shows how great the damage to the water system and ecology is, and it is really touching to think about it.
Although the Bahe River can be sailed, there are many Xie family members and a lot of things to carry, so it is not convenient to sail against the current, so I still chose to take a carriage.
Dozens of carriages went up the highlands and plateaus along the Bahe River, Xie Yi couldn't accurately determine, but guessed that it was probably the famous Bailuyuan in later generations! When the weather is fine, standing here you can see the majestic Chang'an City from afar, now there is a place of right and wrong, far away from right and wrong, it is a good day to go to the mountains to escape the summer.
Tao Yuanming has picked chrysanthemums under the east fence, and leisurely sees the Yaxing of Nanshan, which must be a very good experience. Now it's not time to pick chrysanthemums, but it is said that there are a lot of lotus flowers in the lake of the Rimchuan Villa, you can pick lotus, and it is easier to see Nanshan leisurely.
In addition to enjoying the scenery, you can also occasionally go hunting in the mountains, which is a good thing that ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to experience.
Xie Yi is very optimistic about this and is quite interested.
Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan were also smiling, as long as Xie Yi was there, they were in a good mood, but as for the side, they didn't care very much.
As for the rumors in Chang'an City, they didn't care very much, they believed in Xie Yi's ability. It's rare to be quiet, if not, where would he have time to accompany him to the Rimchuan Villa?
This time, the two ladies were full of expectations, thinking about changing to a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people, whether they could hit it with one blow, fill in a child for the Xie family earlier, and continue the incense.
Xiaoman heard that he could go to play, so he was naturally very happy, especially in the wild where he had never been before, and the child's nature was completely released, which was quite happy.
However, Wu Erniang was not very happy, since the conflict in the Shaolingyuan polo match, she was not very happy.
Although it was not her fault that incident, she didn't make any mistakes at all, but Xie Yi got into trouble because of this incident, which made Wu Erniang very sorry, and even a little self-blame.
The orphan has been sullen and unhappy. Although the family is now going to Gongchuan Villa for a summer vacation, she feels that she can't help but feel a little forced to avoid it, or even exile.
Mr. Xie, who was originally prosperous, fell to this point, and it was more or less because of himself, so it was inevitable that he was a little uneasy. (To be continued.) )
