Chapter Ninety-One: The Insomniac Emperor
Li Yu said that he wanted to give something expensive.
He used to send.
It's not a reward.
The reward was given to Zhaoyi by the emperor.
Send, is a friend to reward a confidant.
"Take that picture out." Li Yu said to Emperor Zhou E.
Emperor Zhou E went to get the painting with his stomach and didn't let the palace maid move.
"I guess it's some precious authentic artifact."
The Southern Tang Imperial Palace is a real royal museum, and the largest collection of calligraphy is there.
Zhong Xuan and Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Li Yu has the largest collection.
Two favorites surnamed Li Wang Xizhi, one is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Li Shimin borrowed Wang Xizhi's calligraphy from many ministers, and finally Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and did not pay it back.
The most odious thing is that Li Shimin not only wants to see, but also occupies, when he died, he brought Wang Xizhi's true works directly into the coffin, and the "Yonghe Nine Years" we see today are all copies of the Tang Dynasty, and the real works are in Li Shimin's tomb.
Later, Wu Zetian wanted to see Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, and found that there was a minister who really had a volume at home, so she used the majesty of the empress to find someone to copy it, this minister estimated that the calligraphy could not be left, and he was still annoyed, Wu Zetian finished reading it, and returned the calligraphy, she didn't want others to say that she was a chicken thief like her ex-husband and father-in-law Li Shimin.
All the rest of the folk Wang Xizhi, basically to the Southern Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of Li Yu, in troubled times, gold and stone calligraphy and painting are not valuable, you may be able to get it at a very low price, and the most powerful to collect these things is the emperor.
Li Yu unfolded the scroll on the desk.
Painting on colored silk.
In the bleak autumn breeze, a woman riding a black horse, carrying a bow, and wearing a double sword crosses the shallows of the river, a thin and white beauty in a strong suit.
"This!"
Xiao Gui's hands were trembling.
"Your Majesty doesn't just give people to paint." Emperor Zhou E reminded Xiaogui with a smile.
"It's ...... What am I ......?" asked Xiao Gui hesitantly.
"Do you only recognize people?" Li Yu asked with a smile.
"This place, it's ...... Linquan Town ......" Xiaogui said.
"This painting I painted is called 'Lin Quandu'." Li Yu said.
"Your Majesty hasn't been to Linquan again......" Xiaogui felt very curious.
"I have a painting academy, Gu Hongzhong went to Linquan, I asked him to paint the scenery of Linquan, I took it to see, pondered it thoroughly, and then started painting." Li Yu said.
"Your Majesty......" Xiaogui prostrate on the ground.
Rinquan used to be her paradise.
In the hearts of young boys and girls, there is a piece of paradise that can never be returned.
"Linquan Town is a good place, the eldest princess has done evil, I am also responsible, I can only compensate Linquan to you between these two feet, you accept it, don't take revenge on me and the queen." Li Yu said.
Xiaogui understood this truth.
Li Yu didn't say that he wouldn't take revenge on the eldest princess.
But it's good not to hurt the Southern Tang court.
Li Yu knew that he would use Li Forsythia to deal with the dynasty and officials in the north, but he used Xiaogui to restrain Li Forsythia.
"Concubine...... Can't. Xiaogui said.
"You are the person I trust the most, and you are also my last preparation, I still say that, the lives of our family of three are in hand."
"The concubine doesn't dare." Xiaogui said.
"Your Majesty is too angry, Xiaogui is also a member of our family." Emperor Zhou E said to Li Yu with disgust.
"Really? But her body and mind, body and spirit, are not entirely mine. Li Yu said with a smile.
"Oh, Your Majesty," said Emperor Zhou E, "there are children here, how can I say this!" ”
"Xiaogui, you have to understand in your heart that if you didn't agree to Chai Rong at the beginning, it's not that I don't trust you, it's precisely because I trust you, his life won't be long, if we went to Kaifeng at that time, and now we are trapped there, eighty percent of our lives are difficult to protect." Li Yu abruptly turned to a serious topic.
"You can listen to this, and you will be a smart prince in the future." Emperor Zhou E stroked his belly and said to the child.
"The concubine is terrified......," Xiaogui apologized.
"No need to apologize, at your age, your ability to understand politics is already very good." Li Yu said.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't understand, why did you give Kaifeng such a powerful weapon as the fierce fire oil tank?" Xiaogui asked.
"If Tang doesn't give it, Wu Yue's money will also give it, they have already given this thing to the Khitan, and sooner or later they will give it to Song." Li Yu said.
Therefore, it is better to make an early sacrifice to show that you have no objection. Xiaogui, if you were Zhao Kuangyin, how would you deal with me? Li Yu asked.
"There will be a direct edict to let His Majesty go to Beijing." Xiaogui said.
"Yes, although I am the Son of Heaven, but the size of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than a town of big princes, before my grandfather said to my father, don't fight those small princes, with them, the dynasty of the Central Plains will not move us, and when they want to march south, our fleet will be the vanguard of the Central Plains, and we will be able to retain our position, but unfortunately my father saw that the treasury was full, so he destroyed Shu (former Shu), conquered Chu, Southern Fujian, and Southern Han, and beat all the neighbors again, wrong, wrong." Li Yu said.
"Now that Tang is the biggest, the Central Plains are staring at Tang, I can only be as deferential as possible - postpone entering the court and going to Beijing, waiting for the changes in the Central Plains, if Zhao Kuangyin can't hold Kaifeng and can't beat Li Chongjin, then my chance has come." Li Yu said.
Xiaogui silently pondered Li Yu's abacus.
It's not easy for the head coach to hit the championship, but it's even more difficult for the head coach of the relegation team.
"As a general, I am not as good as Zhao Kuangyin, but as an emperor, I have more experience than him." Li Yu smiled.
"This guy should be in the new palace now, and he can't sleep."
was really said by Li Yu.
The first three days after becoming the emperor were the three days when Zhao Kuangyin slept the worst.
It's not that I can't sleep with excitement, it's that the palace is too uncomfortable.
Zhao Kuangyin grew up in the family courtyard of the military camp, and those wooden houses were very compact.
Row after row of houses, all of them are occupied by my father's comrades-in-arms, subordinates, and superiors, and every family does not need to lock the door, and the children are carefree. Whoever you want to play with, just shout at the top of your voice.
You can hear the man next door scolding the children, beating his wife, bickering, and smelling the smell of each family's food.
What kind of books to read, you don't need to read in troubled times, you can just read Braille, and the rest of the time is to practice martial arts.
The thing related to culture is to listen to all kinds of legends:
Chu and Han compete for hegemony
Biography of Emperor Guangwu
Three Kingdoms Zhiping dialect
Xue Rengui marched to the east
This kind of child who grows up with many families has a sense of security.
It is precisely because of this background that Zhao Kuangyin dares to trust others.
He can also smell the smell of his own people, and when he sees Xu Yongzhi for the first time, he can recognize this brother and share his thoughts with him.
Such a person who wants to live among everyone as a big brother has now walked into a lonely and deserted prison.
There are ironclad infantry guarding him outside the door, and the people who take care of his life, thin eyebrows, thin eyes, yin and yang.
There is another point, that is, the houses built by one's own family are generally not so high, and the royal house is at least six feet taller than the Zhao family's house.
When you can't sleep, you can also look at the ceiling and count the rafters.
Not now, the ceiling is farther away from you.
When you enter the palace, you just feel that you are getting smaller and smaller.
Zhao Kuangyin had two big black circles the next day, and hurriedly asked Zhao Pu to discuss.
"I can't sleep." Zhao Kuangyin said.
These two brothers chatter, don't use Chinese, it's very vulgar.
"Do you recognize the bed, bring the old bed in the house." Zhao Pu said.
"The ancient emperor can't sleep, is there any way?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
"Talk to my mother." Zhao Pu said.
"Old husband and wife, I'm tired of it." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Marry a Nishinomiya lady." Zhao Pu said.
"Why are you so annoying, old thing?" Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Am I annoying? I can't sleep, and I'......m not the one who wants to find someone to talk to," Zhao Pu said.
"I always feel like His Majesty is watching me." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Your Majesty, you yourself are Your Majesty, who is staring at you?" Zhao Pu said.
"Chai Rong, don't pretend to be stupid for me." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"You didn't kill him!" Zhao Pu said.
"I'm not afraid of his revenge, Zeping, I think that he is looking at me, and I don't dare to relax for a moment." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"I've come up with a way to fall asleep." Zhao Pu said.
"Tell me about it." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"You've seen the door god." Zhao Pu asked.
"Have you ever seen this?" Zhao Kuangyin said.
"What's the name of the door god?" Zhao Pu asked.
"Divine Darkness." Zhao Kuangyin replied.
"Yes, that's right, but there is also a kind of door god among the people, which is Qin Qiong and Jingde, famous generals of the Tang Dynasty." Zhao Pu said.
"How did these two become door gods?" Zhao Kuangyin said.
"It is said that after Tang Taizong Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he would sometimes see Jiancheng and Yuanji, and then he let Qin Shubao and Wei Chigong stand outside the palace gate, and he fell asleep." Zhao Pu said.
"So I should buy a pair of door god stickers?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
"You can't say you buy it, you have to say please." Zhao Pu said.
"Do you have to ask the door god to post it?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
"It's hard to say whether this Tang Dynasty general is willing to protect you." Zhao Pu said.
"You've told you all the truth, what do you say." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"I mean, he is the Son of Heaven, he has a general to protect him, and His Majesty is also the Son of Heaven, so you can naturally choose someone with strong martial arts skills to protect you." Zhao Pu said.
"That's over, I was the best martial artist in the Great Zhou Forbidden Army back then, I couldn't sleep, and no one could guard me." Zhao Kuangyin looked depressed.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty? What you said, there are more strong players among the strong, and you haven't competed with Xu Jin, right? Zhao Pu said.
Zhao Kuangyin thought about Xu Yongzhi's sword moves.
"Well, if he uses a gun, he can't beat me, and if he uses a sword, I can't beat him." Zhao Kuangyin said.
"So tell him to come and stand guard and try." Zhao Pu instigated Zhao Kuangyin.
"Try it......" Zhao Kuangyin said.
"By the way, remember to be fully armoured!" Zhao Pu said.
Zhao Pu's move is too damaging.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xu Yongzhi wore dozens of catties of step armor and stood outside Zhao Kuangyin's bedroom for a night.
During the day, when others go to court, he goes home and sleeps in shifts.
For two days in a row, Duan Meimei went crazy.
How to change the dynasty before the change of the commander, after this great achievement, changed to the night shift to watch the gate.
"Childe, this can't work," Duan Meimei brought him a big bowl of soup when he came back that day, "I have to tell Your Majesty, the day and night are reversed, and your body is broken, and besides, you will not go to court, and you will be excluded from the ranks of civil and military officials." ”
"I know that Zhao Pu is cheating ......on me," Xu Yongzhi said as he drank the soup, "but after I stood guard, His Majesty did sleep soundly." ”
"Do you want to prescribe some medicine for Your Majesty?" Xu Taishi still does not leave the bank in three sentences.
"Those things are too hospital, I can't just open my mouth." Xu Yongzhi said.
"Find Zhang Beidao to go to Zheng, I always feel that the palace is not clean." Huo Yizun said.
"Don't!" Xu Yongzhi said, "If there is really a fox, my uncle will have to be beaten by the fox and lie down." I think what Your Majesty needs to see is the old fairy Chen Jun. ”
"I remember," Duan Meimei said, "The old immortal said that if you have too many things in your heart, you won't be able to sleep well, and once you don't sleep well, things in your heart will be even more chaotic." ”
"That's true." Xu Yongzhi thought about the things he heard Chen Tuan talk about on Shaohua Mountain.
"Your Majesty has just sat in this seat, there must be a lot of things on your heart and a lot of uneasiness, son, you can have a good chat with Your Majesty." Duan Meimei said.
"What Meimei said is such a good idea." Xu Taishi praised.
Xu Yongzhi suddenly slapped his thigh.
"I have a good solution, and by the way, it also scared Zhao Pu a lot!"
