Chapter 245: Loser's Thing
The Gaochang Rebellion and the further surging battle for storage positions suddenly made the limelight in Chang'an City a lot more nervous.
It's the New Year's Day, but there's a sense of noise, and the movement of the prefectures is becoming more and more diligent.
But among them, the eldest grandson Wuji is an exception, he doesn't go anywhere during the New Year's Festival, but stays at home every day to tease his grandson and share his family, completely with an attitude of ignoring things outside the window.
The approach of the eldest grandson Sikong made many people a little unsure of what kind of mystery he was doing, probably some people thought that he would be embarrassed, but they didn't know that he received a hint from His Majesty Li Er.
It is precisely because of these reasons that many people who understand fall into thinking and worrying, such as Fang Xuanling......
As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, the youngest son married Princess Gaoyang as a concubine, and the daughter married into the royal family and became the princess of Han.
But there is a way that the higher the place is unbearable, the more high you are, the more cautious you are, and even a little nervous.
A prime minister who has been in power for more than ten years, an important minister in power, is the emperor completely trusted, without the slightest suspicion? Think about the fate of the prime ministers of all dynasties in the past.
For example, in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che reigned for decades, and there were thirteen prime ministers alone, which one of them had been in office for as long as himself?
Don't look at the glory now, is it really all about peace of mind?
Fang Xuanling has a lot of worries in his heart, and he has always had some hidden worries, and he doesn't dare to make a definite judgment in the court today, probably because of this.
But the more this was the case, the more panicked he became, especially after seeing the emperor's favor of Li Tai, the king of Wei, Fang Xuanling had more intention to avoid it.
Now many people are hiding in line, but he doesn't want to stand in line, but in the position of prime minister, it may be difficult to be out of the way. What's more, his second son Fang Yiai is still a colt, and he has contact with those two uncles.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Fang Xuanling felt that maybe it was time for him to change his position, the prime minister who had never moved his nest, if he didn't have some self-knowledge, it would be a terrible thing.
Perhaps, this prime minister should not be in office again......
……
People in high positions can always be the first to smell the abnormal, avoid risks or seize opportunities, but sometimes they are also prone to worry.
Xie Yi does not have this problem at all, although he is not in a high position, he is more powerful than anyone else. It is best to see it. What's more, he still controls a trump card and is almost invincible, so why worry?
Since it's the New Year, why stay at home and enjoy the joy of the New Year, you must be troubled by many unnecessary things?
Since the court meeting on the first day, Xie Yi went home.
In order to avoid suspicion, he only sent New Year's gifts to the familiar prefectures, but he did not come to the door in person to pay New Year's greetings. This year is a special situation. Presumably those old princes won't mind, maybe they don't want to have anyone come to the door now, and it's better to close the door.
Anyway, Xie Yi made up his mind, before the polo match on the Yuan Festival. Don't go anywhere, just stay at home. The matter of sending troops to Gaochang has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to get involved in the battle for the storage position.
What I want most now is to be happy, but after sending Xue Yantuo to make the reward, the reward for meritorious deeds has not been settled for a long time. There will be arrangements after the Shangyuan Festival at the latest.
This boiled duck can't fly.
Therefore, Xie Yi became one of the few people in Chang'an City who was particularly calm, and he did not enjoy the snow around the fireplace every day. It's just a game of chess, except for a little fun with the two ladies at night.
After thinking about it, Xie Yi decided to tinker with some things by himself, drew the pattern and handed it to Lu Tong, and within two days, a brand new mahjong was sent to Bofu in Huaiyang County.
Naturally, there is no plastic in these years, but the size that Xie Yi ordered, Lu Tong actually found enough Hetian jade, which was carefully carved.
Xie Yi was surprised when he saw it, it was just a thing to play at home, isn't it a bit too extravagant......
How much is so much Hetian jade worth? If the whole piece is not cut, slightly polished and carved, and made into other utensils, the price is immeasurable.
Now that it has become mahjong, it can't help but feel a little violent, so Xie Yi wants to criticize Lu Tong, which is also extravagant.
However, Lu Tong disagreed: "It's just a little jade, it was bought from a Hu merchant in the Western Regions a few months ago, and the Gaochang Rebellion has not yet appeared, and the silk trade route has not been cut off, and the price is not very expensive."
At present, the western trade route is cut off, and it may be possible to sell it for a good price, but the enjoyment of his own Ah Lang is the most important, and An Yixuan's business is booming, and there are no less than half pieces of jade. Let Ah Lang and his wife use it smoothly, the texture is the key, and the rest is not important. ”
Well, filial piety is commendable, everyone below has said so, Xie Yi can only laugh and accept, isn't it just some money, isn't the Xie family lacking? As a loser, you should have the style of a loser.
Hetian Yu's mahjong, how many finch gods will be killed in seconds in the future generations? It's just that the material is precious, and I don't dare to slap the table easily when I come to self/touch, and the thing is broken, so it's ......
Who would have thought that Lu Tong would send some materials very intimately, claiming that if there is any breakage, it can ensure that the same material is carved and repaired as soon as possible......
There are servants who are so intimate, what else is there to worry about?
It's just that mahjong has to be played by four people, and now there is still a lack of a seat, I knew that I should do some poker, and I played the landlord's, but the material of that thing was not easy to find. The current level of papermaking is much worse in the end.
The facts proved that Xie Yi's worries were completely unnecessary, and after sorting out, he directly pulled Wu Erniang over, so that the four of them were just right.
Xie Yi was inevitably a little embarrassed when he saw Wu Erniang; Wu Erniang was the same, she was even embarrassed to look up at first......
Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan not only didn't want to find a way, but also deliberately joined in the fun, wanting to "worsen" the situation. However, Xie Yi insisted that he would not let them succeed, so the two ladies had nothing to say.
I had to obediently follow Xie Yi to learn to play mahjong, the rules were very simple, and the three smart women quickly learned seven, seven, eight, eight. Especially after discovering that the fun of seven is far superior to that of six games, I suddenly became interested, and the more I learned, the more refined I became.
In just a few days, the three women have become masters of the hemp altar, especially Wu Erniang, who has a smart brain, is good at calculation, and more importantly, luck is against the sky, which often makes Xie Yi feel ashamed.
Throughout the New Year, the three of them became fascinated and developed a strong interest in playing mahjong. Originally, early in the morning, Xie Yi planned to get tired of being crooked on the kang for a while, but Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan were pulled onto the mahjong table early. I don't know if it's really interested, or uneasy and kind?
Xie Yi said helplessly: "After the Shangyuan Festival, if I go to the Shangchao, what if there is no one to play with you?" ”
"That's not easy, find another person, it's best if you marry another one and come back......" (To be continued.) )
