Chapter Forty-Six: A Thousand Miles of Good News (Part II)
When people are old, they will always unconsciously carry a sense of majesty, and Li Er, who walked into the courtyard from outside the corridor, embodied this majesty to the extreme.
The slightly gray beard and slightly silvered sideburns all show that he is over fifty years old, and the son said: Fifty knows the destiny of heaven, and an emperor can live to the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, which has always been a great event, and if this emperor is still a Ming monarch, it is even more remarkable.
So when Li Er stood in front of the gate of the courtyard, all the civil and military generals in the courtyard knelt on the ground and asked Li Er for peace.
Today's Li Er, dressed in civilian clothes, an elegant robe embroidered with a splendid pattern, and a pair of purple trousers, the image of a family elder jumped out.
Although his appearance looked a little old, Li Er's eyes not only did not become dull with age, but were extremely keen, and after scanning the crowd, he found Xu Yang and others in the middle of the courtyard.
"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, all of you are the talents of my Tang Dynasty pillars, and I am also interested in this idle gathering, but can someone tell me why most of the teachers in Nanshan Academy have come here today? I, the honorary dean of Nanshan Academy, didn't receive any letters. ”
Raising his head, Xu Yang found that Li Er was staring straight at him, and just after hearing Li Er's words, he learned from his tone that the big boss was angry, and the employees held a celebration meeting for all the staff in private, but the boss was not invited, needless to say, the small leader of the employees who organized this event had to bear the anger of the big boss.
"Your Majesty, many gentlemen from the academy are invited to come here today in order to enjoy the newly built villas in the back mountains of Xujiazhuang. In the future, you will retire from Nanshan Academy. You can go there and live your whole life. Spend the second half of his life in peace, this kind of trivial matter, Wei Chen feels that there is no need to bother His Majesty, after all, the northwest is still at war. ”
Xu Yang, a small employee, hurriedly explained the cause and effect to Li Er, and used the most concise and clear way to dispel the doubts of His Majesty the Emperor.
Sure enough, when these words were said by Xu Yang himself, Li Er's brows eased significantly, and the original majesty on his body seemed to disappear. With a soothing face, he said: "So that's the case, Xu Qing is also fortunate to think about Mr. Academy as a ghost valley." ”
Xu Yang has always been beating snakes and sticks, and while Li Er didn't say anything, he stepped forward and complimented: "Since Your Majesty has an elegant interest to come to the village today, then you can just come to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of those villas, and this ribbon-cutting person is none other than Your Majesty." ”
Li Er enjoyed this kind of treatment in Xujiazhuang very much, he had seen many times in the ribbon cutting, and what made him excited was not the ribbon cutting, but the wedding banquet after the ribbon cutting.
If other families' wedding banquets couldn't make Li Er so excited. But the wedding banquet in Xujiazhuang is a must in Chang'an. The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets of the famous business building are said to have been passed down from Xujiazhuang, it is said to be a very extravagant wedding banquet, rich in materials, exquisite in making zuò, all-encompassing delicacies from the mountains and seas, Li Er has also let the imperial chef make zuò several times in the palace, but it is not as authentic as the dishes in Xujiazhuang, and it tastes unique.
Of course, before eating, he had to do something serious, and Li Er was hugged by the crowd and followed the crowd to the back mountain of Xujiazhuang.
Zhongnan Mountain connects with the Qinling Mountains, the back mountain of Xujiazhuang is actually even at the boundary of the Qinling Mountains, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down the mountain, there is a man-made lake under the mountain, the lake is very shallow, and even the swimming fish at the bottom of the lake can be seen, on the shore of the lake, it is the villa building surrounded by mountains on three sides, these villa buildings look more exquisite than those two-story small buildings in Xujiazhuang.
The rainbow beams carved by bats, the white bricks and ink tiles that can be seen from afar, do not have much luxurious decoration, but they make people feel comfortable when they look at them, and the Hui architecture in the hometown of ink and wash can always set off a dusty aura in the landscape.
Li Er walked around these places for retired teachers of Nanshan Academy one by one with the support of his subordinates, and I have to say that Xu Yang has always been extremely generous to the gentlemen of the academy, each house is not only exquisite in appearance, but also very comfortable in the interior, and the most rare thing is that Xu Yang has prepared a place for every gentleman to live, and even a few guys from the Mo family who teach mechanical techniques have been assigned to the house.
The gentlemen were very satisfied with this retirement home, but there was one person who didn't nod, and Xu Yang naturally didn't dare to leave.
Respectfully leaning over to Li Er's side, Xu Yang cautiously said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, what do you think of these mansions?" ”
Standing beside the lake, Li Er said with his hand: "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, clean and undisturbed, it is indeed a good place to retire, but I want to ask, if these gentlemen from the academy don't want to live here in the future, how can you solve it?" ”
Xu Yang was happy when he heard this, it turned out that Li Er was worried that others would not appreciate it and waste his mind in vain, so he would ask like this.
"Your Majesty doesn't know that since this mansion was built, it has already belonged to the gentlemen of the academy, whether he lives or sells it, this mansion belongs to him. Although the Xu family is not a luxury family, dozens of houses can still be sent. ”
Hearing this, Li Er's eyebrows were about to twitch together, what is not a luxury family, Chang'an is now a wealthy family, Xujiazhuang dares to say first, then no one dares to call it second, dozens of factories and industries in Chang'an are inextricably linked with Xujiazhuang, not to mention the Silk Road and overseas commerce.
For Xu Yang, a disciple of the Ghost Valley, Li Er has tested him countless times, but this person is like a mystery that can never be guessed, his greed for money is in a good way; He is powerful, but he never deceives others; He always seems to know what to do next, and predicting ancient and modern times has given him the greatest confidence, which has also become the most fearful place for Li Er.
Cheng Qian is almost in the age of establishment, and the child of that year has now grown into an adult. When it comes to Chengqian, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will praise it, Li Er thought that after a hundred years, the prince would ascend to the throne as expected, and his brothers also had their own careers, Qingque went to Nanshan Academy to become a scholar, Li Ke commanded Tubo in the plateau, and a few also had some of their own industries overseas.
Li Er never believed that this would happen in the dark, he still remembered that when he was a teenager, Qingque and several other princes would have a look of hope in their eyes when they talked about the throne, but now, they didn't seem to have much interest in taking charge of this great empire.
Li Er also summoned Xu Yang privately and asked him why, several princes have given up the struggle for imperial power, at that time Xu Yang said in righteous words, the crown prince Li Chengqian is the best candidate to inherit the throne, and only if he inherits the throne, can he be expected by the public, and will not let the Li family have a cannibalistic situation, Li Er is drenched in cold sweat, his own brother killed to seize power, for the heir, he has a strong desire to follow the rules of the ancestors to grow up.
"Your Majesty, it's not too early, and it's time for dinner, ...... you see?"
Li Er's thoughts were interrupted by Xu Yang, but he was not angry, there were some things, there was no need to delve too deeply, he still remembered what Xu Yang had said to him at the beginning, 'The minister's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty is clear to heaven and earth, if there is a disobedience, the sky will hit five thunders!' ’。
With this sentence, it is enough, thinking of this, Li Er waved his hand and smiled: "Lead the way ahead." ”…… (To be continued......)
