Chapter 110: Old Ancestor Li Erbai
"Let him enter the temple, when did this guy become so polite?"
Waving his hand and asking Jia Nei to lead people, Emperor Tianqi was a little strange in his heart, the main courtyard of the Great Sect was in charge of the internal affairs of the imperial family, and he was not allowed to get involved in state affairs, so he didn't need to go to court.
Even if there is something, it is a royal internal matter, and it is not allowed to be brought to the court, after all, if it is a scandal, it will not lose the face of the royal family.
「…… What does this Li Xiangfu want to do?"
Emperor Tianqi frowned and muttered.
Since the last Dazong Zhengzong Hongyun Prince Xue eleven years ago, Li Xiangfu took over as Dazongzheng, to be honest, compared with the decisive Prince Hongyun, Li Xiangfu is not a little bit worse.
However, the Li royal family really doesn't have much talent to make a move, and the big one can only be put on the throne by Li Xiangfu, a lazy guy, after all, better than those guys who stare at the chair every day!
It didn't take long for Jia Nei to lead a big fat man who was as round as a leather ball to the court.
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help grinning when he saw it, this fat guy, there is really not much difference between young and old, and his hair is black, and there are no folds on his face, how should his body shape be, and he will have a ball!
Snorting and snorting to the front of the hall, Li Xiangfu wanted to bow down with his crossed hands, but his stomach was too big to bend down, and the ministers were also grinning.
"That's it, don't salute, be careful of hurting yourself!"
Emperor Tianqi hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and then asked curiously:
"Xiangfu, what kind of big mistake has happened in the main courtyard of the Great Sect, which needs to be brought to the court to say?"
Li Xiangfu is three years older than the Emperor of Tianqi, is the cousin of the Emperor of Tianqi, and the two have had a lot of intersections since they were children.
Because of this, Li Xiangfu was afraid of his fierce cousin, even if the Tianqi Emperor became old and his temperament became gentle, unless there was no way, he would try not to appear in front of the Tianqi Emperor.
It's just that today's things are too big, and they must be overcome!
Unable to bend down, Li Xiangfu had to shake his hands up and down, sweating profusely and tremblingly and said:
"Your Majesty, Old Ancestor Li Erbai is drinking tea with a few new immortals in the Meditation Palace, and he will see me, so let me call you, he wants to have a family meal with you!"
「…… What the hell are you talking about, you fat guy?"
Emperor Tianqi frowned, what is this fat guy talking about?
is still an ancestor, the oldest living royal family in the royal family is only an uncle and uncle, no matter how old he dies early, where does the ancestor say?
And I never remembered that there was a member of the royal family with such a straightforward name as Li Erbai in the clan.
Just as he was about to scold Li Xiangfu, his mind somehow suddenly remembered Feng Liu'er, and the Emperor of Tianqi couldn't help but shudder, but a large bead of sweat appeared on his head, and he stammered a little and asked:
"You, what you said, no, it won't be the one in the temple of meditation, that one......
"It's that old ancestor, he, his old man, who has become a human!"
Before the Emperor of Tianqi finished speaking, Li Xiangfu, who was sweating profusely, had already said the result with a smile that was more ugly than crying.
If you want to talk about this, you have to start with Emperor Taizu, the founding of Dahua.
At that time, Taizu was about to ascend the throne, and Luoyang, which was originally the capital of Dali, was seriously damaged, and the old imperial city was destroyed by all the princes.
It took ten years to repair Luoyang City, and although the imperial city was rebuilt, the scale was much smaller than it is today.
There was not much grass and trees in the newly built imperial city, and Emperor Taizu did not want to spend a huge amount of money to transplant old trees, so he just took some grass seeds and spread a layer on the ground.
The Jingxin Hall was the largest building in the imperial city at that time, when the empress dowager was still there, Emperor Taizu was filial, so he let his wife live in the best house.
The Queen Mother also likes the meditation hall very much, and the only thing she is not satisfied with is that the huge courtyard has only a layer of floating grass, and there is not even a tree.
This incident is true to make Taizu nerve-wracking, the palace is not allowed to plant trees, this is a rule handed down from ancient times, after all, trees are large, easy to hide with assassins.
The Li family first won the world, and there were many unstable people, and planting more trees was not conducive to safety.
But seeing that the old lady was sad and Taizu was heartbroken, he thought about it, so he planted an apricot tree in the middle of the courtyard of the meditation hall, and there was only this one tree in the entire palace.
There are no precious flowers planted under the trees, just a shallow layer of floating grass as elsewhere.
After a few years, the apricot trees are getting bigger, every March and April, the snow-white apricot blossoms will fall with the wind, and the green grass is dyed with a layer of snow, the scene is enchanting and tight, which can be called the most beautiful in the imperial city.
In late summer, it's a different story.
Unlike other yellow apricot trees, the snow-white apricots hang on the branches, and the fragrance can be smelled outside of the Tao.
When it is ripe and sipped into the mouth, the sweet taste immediately enters the heart, which can be called a must in the imperial city!
The Empress Dowager loved this tree very much, and even when she died, she also told Emperor Taizu that future generations must take good care of this tree, and Emperor Taizu also left this last word when he died.
Today, Dahua has been established for hundreds of years, and dozens of emperors have been around it, all of whom are concerned about it.
There are special people in the imperial city to serve, repel insects, fertilize, prune and water, and there is no sloppiness at all.
Therefore, the apricot tree has been growing very well, now the tree is eight zhang high and has two zhang circumference, the tree shape is handsome, hundreds of years to read all the vicissitudes of life, really witnessed the rise and fall of the Dahua royal family.
Emperor Taizu planted it with his own hands, and the Empress Dowager told his descendants to take care of it, as a tree, the apricot tree was favored beyond imagination.
But no one would have thought that the later Emperor Taizong would elevate him to a position that others could not imagine!
When Taizong succeeded to the throne, Emperor Taizu had swept the world, and the situation in the country had been stabilized.
But at that time, although the country was a little peaceful, the people were living in hardship, after all, after decades of war, it was not so simple to recover.
Compared with Taizu, who has a strong temperament, Taizong has an extremely gentle temperament, and never reprimands others loudly, even if the people around him make mistakes, as long as they don't involve the fundamentals, they only persuade them softly.
With a group of palace maids and attendants, Taizong is definitely the best master.
Taizong does not like luxury and has a simple life, reigning for more than 20 years, he has not built a palace and has not selected a show girl, and throughout his life, in addition to the inherited dragon robe, he only wears cotton and linen and does not wear brocade silk.
When he ascended the throne, the treasury of the imperial city was empty, but even so, Taizong was still exempted from taxes and forced labor for ten years.
After a long time, don't say that the palace maid is the emperor Taizong, and the clothes she wears every day are also patches on top of patches.
Ten years later, the tax and conscription were resumed, but this tax and conscription was the light conscription that had been practiced with the Northland when Dahlia was at its peak!
During his reign of more than 20 years, he has always pursued the national policy of resting with the people, encouraging mulberry farmers, paying attention to population recovery, and attaching great importance to talent selection.
