Chapter 178: The two brothers of the Chen family

Li Er didn't care much about this, "By the way, I came here today to tell you one thing, I decided to light the lamp in Osmanthus Tower myself." ”

Li Hui has known about this for a long time, isn't it written in the newspapers?

"Huh? Don't you want to ask me what I think? ”

Li Er was full of displeasure at this disregard.

The monarch and the minister are like throwing a hydrangea, you throw one, I throw one, there has to be a response.

Li Hui is now like a cold male god who doesn't care about women, which makes Li Er very annoyed.

It's always been me who ignores others, but it's good that you dare to pose in front of me.

"Your Majesty, it's just a lamp, besides, lighting a lamp can't save Datang."

Li Hui was a little tired, the injuries on Gai Suwen's body were too ruthless, it was the first time he saw such a serious injury, and the first time he did it, it was inevitable that he would have some palpitations now.

Li Hui also guessed some of Li Er's thoughts about lighting the lamp, which is not to break the tradition, boldly innovate, and make the emperor's lighting of the lamp a common practice in the Tang Dynasty, to have fun with the people, increase the connection with the people, and shorten the distance between the people and the people.

The common people are like this, when they are faced with only cold regulations, the smile on their faces is bitter, because those regulations are not the most suitable for their current situation, and they do not understand why His Majesty would make such a decision today.

But once it comes out of the emperor's mouth in person, he understands it with reason and moves with affection, even if he doesn't give the people a chance to respond, they will subconsciously think that this emperor is a wise monarch.

Li Er has led the army for many years, eats with ordinary soldiers, lives together, and goes to the battlefield together, and never asks for special because of his special identity, any ordinary soldier can do it, Li Er can also do it.

This also allowed Li Er to deepen his understanding of ordinary people in disguise.

Since this set works, then Li Er will continue to implement it.

"Your Majesty, I understand your thoughts, but it's not safe to do so."

Li Hui opened his mouth and spit out a smoke ring, this is indeed a big problem, Your Majesty, if you go to a place of pleasure like Osmanthus Tower, even if you start the investigation a few days in advance, you still can't avoid all the potential safety hazards.

Datang can't withstand such a blow and toss now, not to mention, Datang is not gradually declining now, and there is no need to use such a method to inspire the people.

Li Er shook his head, "Li Hui, you don't understand, what I want to do is not to show the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"What about me, it's just that I'm bored in the palace, during the Wude years, I can personally participate in the lighting of the lanterns, at that time, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival was very lively, and the whole Chang'an was a sea of joy."

"I miss that time very much, from now on, I will always go to Osmanthus Tower to light the lamp, and I will also let the people of Datang know that I have always been with them!"

Li Er said solemnly, his eyes firm and powerful.

The eldest grandson Wuji on the side admired it, this is the taste, this is the taste of the year.

His Majesty's domineering spirit back then, and His Majesty's invincible courage when he led the troops.

People who come out of the battlefield are always so stubborn, maybe Li Er will only turn back when he hits the south wall.

Li Hui sighed, now the defense of Chang'an is not good, the army is on the border to defend the Turks and the peoples on the grassland, what is the urine nature of Chang'an City, Li Hui knows very well.

Besides, none of his seventy retainers have been caught doing that kind of thing in Chang'an City......

There are not 10,000 merchants in a day, but there are thousands, and these people can do anything casually, and they can destroy Chang'an.

Forget it, it's hard to buy you willingly, anyway, I'm in Lantian and I'm not going anywhere.

Chen Wenwu is very uncomfortable now, he has only been to the Lotte Marquis Mansion once, but he didn't get the answer he wanted, after the first day, he was embarrassed to go, on the one hand, the heavy snow closed the road, on the other hand, during the New Year, who wants to be that bad person?

His elder brother, Chen Xixiang, is different, he has been talking about wanting to go to the Lotte Marquis Mansion for a long time at home.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year today, the two of them took advantage of the bright sunshine in the afternoon and began to move towards Lantian in the direction.

This time, they brought a lot of gifts.

Chen Wenwu was naturally reluctant and asked his brother why?

Chen Xixiang replied, there is great wisdom between heaven and earth in the Lotte Hou Mansion, and I went there to ask for great wisdom, not to investigate the case.

If you want to investigate the case, you must first understand this person, a person with great wisdom, not a person who would do that kind of bloody thing.

The two of them rode in a carriage, and along the way, they traveled in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

When they went out of the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city also met merchants from the Western Regions and entangled them for a while.

At this time in the suburbs, Chen Xixiang suddenly remembered the interesting thing that happened at the gate of the city, so he asked his younger brother.

"By the way, why did the soldiers guarding the city strictly investigate the merchants of the Western Regions?"

"Brother, the things transported by the merchants of the Western Regions are not simple ink cartridge pigments, but a special kind of ink, this kind of ink is produced in the Western Regions, it seems that there are many doorways, I have seen it in the documents of the previous dynasty before, saying that there is fire in the water, and it burns inexhaustibly, and after steaming it in a cauldron, it gets some raw materials for making ink."

"Also, alchemists also commonly use this."

After Chen Wenwu finished speaking, he sighed, "The cost of this thing is extremely high, and the dignitaries and nobles of Chang'an are good at this, eating, drinking, and having fun, exhausting luxury, the pens used are all wolf's hair, and the ink used is worth thousands of gold, this kind of atmosphere is not good." ”

"Don't mention the degree of food and clothing, Datang suffered from drought last year, and I didn't see any of them take out their savings to solve problems for Datang."

"No one said anything about the floods in Hebei Province, but now that the disaster has been lifted, one by one it has been better and has begun to squander."

Chen Xixiang also sighed, "I'm just a teacher of the Guozijian, I can't do anything, brother, if you have ambitions in your heart, you can ask Na Lotte Hou and let him guide you." ”

Chen Wenwu's eyebrows raised, the two brothers have been one heart since they were children, one is a writer, the other is a martial artist, they are both

Intelligent, but there are not so many families who continue to support two people to go to school together.

Poor and rich, this is their own choice, there is no way.

This was the first time the two brothers had a disagreement on ideas.

"Brother, the suspicion of Lotte Hou is still there."

"Hehe, it's just a suspicion, it doesn't affect what Lotte Hou does for Datang."

"Brother, the murderer must pay the price."

"Those people are just minions of some gangs, the more gangs in Chang'an, the more chaotic Chang'an will be, it is better to have a few fewer people."

Chen Wenwu stopped talking, and Chen Xixiang looked outside the carriage, looking at the afterglow that was slowly falling.

"I don't know how much wisdom I can gain from Lotte Hou on this trip."
