Chapter 8 Emperor Li Yuan

There are always people in every era who enjoy prosperity, and although they will not be remembered by history, their hedonistic optimism can be regarded as a way of life of its own pleasure in the short life of human beings. *

It's not a historical record, but it has to be hearted, what does the imperial robe have to do with me?

Obviously, the business club is such a place, it is a good place for bored nobles to vent their time, and it is also a holy place for low-level merchants who want to ascend to the sky to curry favor with the merchants.

The huge palace lamp is like a hibiscus out of the water, and the crystal glass reflects the light of hundreds of candles in various colors, which is a long road like a European palace, which is all exquisitely carved and sandalwood doors, which is extremely luxurious.

At a turn, I finally arrived at the main hall, and there was a burst of human voices here.

"Bump!" "Eat!" "It's mushy!" The bursts of voices are like bursts of cheers, which make people's blood boil.

Turning the door, Xu Yang saw the warm scene in front of him, a huge palace hall, in which there were dozens of tables of all sizes, each table was full of richly dressed nobles. During the banquet, many handsome waiters were shuttling back and forth.

There is even a table, set up a high platform, on which sits an old man in a golden robe, facing due west, and the east of the Lord is looking up to heaven and earth.

"It's mushy!" The golden-robed old man laughed, and then waved his hand, "Give wine!" ”

There has been a man in eunuch costume waiting on the high platform, pulling the throat of the male duck, as if he has some gift, and said loudly: "The emperor has won another game, reward everyone here, one person has a cup of mouth~"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly reached **. More than a dozen tables of people stood up. He said loudly: "Congratulations to the Emperor." He Xi Tai is the emperor, and he has won another game! ”

The golden-robed old man smiled even more happily, grabbed a young and gorgeous woman with his right hand, and kissed her on the face, "This one doesn't count, Dong Liang just obviously let the widow let the water go, come again." Although the old man in the golden robe said that he was unhappy in his heart, the smile on his face could not be concealed.

"When the Emperor said this, he tortured me and waited. Obviously, he has done his best, but the emperor is a step ahead, so he can win against us, how can it be said that it is a release of water. Liu Dongliang is old and refined, how can he not know that it is time to pat himself on the back, this sentence also makes the smile on Li Yuan's face even better.

"The widow is a fluke, a fluke, come again, come again!" Li Yuan almost rolled up his sleeves and continued.

"Daddy." A clear female voice sounded from behind Liu Dongliang, Liu Dongliang hurriedly turned his head and saw the audience. Xu Yang held Liu Mengli and Jin Shengman and looked at him with a smile.

"Yo, girl. How did you guys get here. Liu Dongliang hurriedly hugged his fists with Li Yuan and saluted, and then beckoned Liu Mengli to come to the stage.

"Emperor Taishang, this is the little girl Mengli, Mengli, come and meet the Emperor." Liu Dongliang said seriously.

"Mengli met the Emperor Taishang, the Emperor Taishang's complexion is rhymed, and the dragon's body is healthy." Liu Mengli performed a standard court ceremony.

Li Yuan's eyes showed a smile, but his gaze didn't stay on Liu Mengli much, and more eyes wandered on Xu Yang.

"No courtesy, I didn't expect Dongliang to have such a talented and beautiful daughter as you, what a blessing, haha." Li Yuan said politely, and then said to Xu Yang as if asking casually: "Who is this?" ”

Liu Dongliang said politely: "This is the virtuous son-in-law Xu Yang, who is out of the Ghost Valley." ”

An imperceptible glint crossed Li Yuan's eyes, "Oh? Is it Xu Yang, the disciple of Guigu who invented this mahjong? ”

Xu Yang hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Back to the Emperor, this mahjong was not invented by a kid, it was all invented by the masters of the Ghost Valley in the past dynasties. ”

Li Yuan smiled heartily, "There is such a novelty in the things invented in idleness, and the master of the Ghost Valley is really not an extraordinary man." ”

Xu Yang shook his head and smiled: "The emperor is too praised, Guiguzi has only achieved today's achievements by relying on the accumulation and research of the past dynasties, and my Datang is now full of talents, surpassing Guigu, just around the corner." ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he became even more interested, "The ancients all thought that the length of their own family and the shortness of their family could say that they were beyond their own family, and with such a bearing, the widow had never seen it in more than sixty years of life." ”

Xu Yang couldn't answer, so he had to smile and say: "My Guigu is the same as Taoism, they all emphasize going with the flow, and there are ancestors in Guigu who said, 'If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.'" The boy thought so. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly became a little sharp, and he said loudly: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world!" No edges. ”

"The minions are here." The old eunuch who had been standing beside Li Yuan replied respectfully.

"Spread the words of the widow, tomorrow the widow will have a pair of framed words, this word is this sentence 'If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world', understand?" Li Yuan seemed to attach great importance to this matter, and his tone was a little strict.

"The slave understands, and the slave tells people to do it."

After the old eunuch went down, Li Yuan nodded, "The widow has been playing mahjong in this club for the past few days, and has won tens of thousands of guan, in the past, my Datang only had a million guan of taxes a year, which made the widow have a dreamlike feeling, what does Guiguzi think of the changes in my Datang?" ”

Xu Yang didn't expect that this miserable old man who was seized power by Li Er in history would still care about state affairs, didn't he hide in the harem all day long to make people, and gave Li Er a lot of younger brothers and sisters, and history was overturned by himself.

"Back to the Emperor Taishang, my Datang is now changing the real number is normal, the Emperor Taishang stays in this Chang'an all day, I don't know the changes in the outside world, my Datang's ocean-going fleet now ships more gold and silver from overseas every year than my Datang output, the prosperity of commerce is ancient and modern, and now after the curfew in Chang'an is lifted, the flow of goods is even more rapid, presumably with the prosperity of my Datang business, the structure of the superstructure has been established, and now there is a lack of strong material foundation and manpower." Xu Yang looked like he was pointing at the country.

After listening to Xu Yang's introduction, Li Yuan was obviously interested in this legendary Guigu disciple, although it was the first time he saw this Guiguzi, it seemed that the two sides had known each other for many years. "Xu Guigu, come and talk to me, what is the superstructure, and what is the material foundation?"

Xu Yang said confidently: "Returning to the emperor, the superstructure refers to the sum of the social ideology built on a certain economic foundation and the corresponding political and legal systems, organizations and facilities. Whether it is the "Tang Law" that is practiced every day, or the county government that is being reformed at all levels of my Datang, or the students who graduated from Nanshan Academy and Guozijian, these are the superstructure of my Datang, as for the material foundation, that is the grain output of my Datang, and now the development of my Datang is still limited by grain production, and the price of rice remains high, which makes the social division of labor not spread extensively, and the occupation can not be diversified. In this way, the impetus for social progress is very slow. ”

Although Li Yuan can't quite fully understand what Xu Yang said, but some of them are deeply true, he is not a fool, he can raise troops against Sui, and stand out in the eighteenth road against the king, which is enough to show Li Yuan's wisdom, later generations think he is stupid, mostly because of his handling of his sons, and finally ended up being forced to Zen, but no one has ever known Li Yuan's pain, why don't he want to solve the problem satisfactorily, but imperial power and family affection can not be both, The contradiction between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng has become an irreconcilable contradiction in the face of the temptation of imperial power, and the final battle between the blades and the bloodshed and death are all reasonable. Li Yuan could only watch, and there was no solution.

Imperial power can make everyone lose their minds, so the ancients said that the royal family is very affectionate.

Li Yuan couldn't sleep at night after he first learned that Li Er had killed his eldest brother, but the matter has come to this point, the Tang Dynasty still needs to be stable, family affairs and state affairs are always two unrelated things, Li Yuan, who is pessimistic about life, also directly chose to abdicate, and Li Er took over this new Datang.

Li Yuan originally planned to die of old age in Taiji Palace, his son killed each other, his younger brother slaughtered his brother's whole family, no matter how you say this kind of thing, it will make an old man feel extremely cold, and even for a while Li Yuan even had the idea of becoming a Taoist priest, but in the end he stopped abruptly, once he became a Taoist priest, Li Shimin could no longer raise his head in front of the world, the most important thing for the emperor is face, you can kill him, but you still have to give him a glorious death.

The emperor's maintenance of dignity is far beyond life.

Li Yuan didn't become a monk at this time, but just shared bliss with a group of new women in the harem.

People always do the same thing, no matter how interesting it is, there is always a day when people get tired of it, and Li Yuan is gradually tired of the days of drunkenness and glamour.

Li Yuan's life change has to start from the Chang'an Business Club, because the harem is very popular mahjong this game, out of the palace on the day of coincidence, Li Yuan came to this business club to play a game of mahjong, since then, he has become a frequent visitor to the business club, and is known as the first person in the club.

Looking up at the young man who founded the business club, Li Yuan sincerely gave birth to a sense of gratitude in his heart, a vigorous Tang Dynasty, which was exchanged for the blood of many children of the Li family, and the Li family can be regarded as paying too much for this world, although there is still an indelible hatred for Li Er in his heart, Li Yuan still hopes that the Tang Dynasty can continue to Yongchang, and the Li family's world can be passed down from generation to generation.

The young man in front of him is using all his strength to make Datang stronger, and he is also helping the Li family achieve the goal of the eternal family, Li Yuan nodded, stood up and patted Xu Yang's shoulder with some vicissitudes and some gratitude: "Young people let it go, the widow is optimistic about you." ”

"Get off and go back to the palace~" (to be continued......)
