04, the red-dressed horse travels in Chang'an, and it rains
Wei Shuyu's plan is very simple, that is, through Lianzhong Sanyuan, he will shake Chang'an in one fell swoop, and it will be reflected in the eyes of His Majesty and hundreds of officials!
Crossing the background, he is the son of Wei Zheng, which seems to be a good background, but in fact it is full of dangers!
Daddy Wei Zhengtie's princeling, when Li Jiancheng was there, he was Li Jiancheng's person, and after Li Jiancheng died, he was Li Chengqian's person again!
Li Jiancheng and Li Chengqian have one thing in common, they are both princes!
What they have in common is that although they are both princes, they didn't become emperors in the end!
When Li Shimin was alive, or Li Chengqian succeeded as emperor, the Wei family of Zhengguo Mansion was safe, but the key is...... In the end, Li Zhi became the emperor and became Tang Gaozong.
When Li Zhi became the emperor, he must have purged the princelings, and his father was a princeling, so he didn't want to stay out of it...... In the eyes of others, it has been marked with the mark of the prince.
Therefore, Wei Shuyu had to plan ahead!
The fame of Chang'an is just the first step of Wei Shuyu!
Next, he will emerge in the court, which will be valued by Li Shimin and hundreds of officials!
Then, when Li Zhi ascended the throne, he went out to be a feudal official, in charge of the government, vigorously developing agriculture, economy, culture, and armaments, and making full preparations for the changes in the middle of the Tang Dynasty!
In one fell swoop, it changed the tragic history of the barbarian invasion of China in the future!
It has been famous for centuries and has been famous for thousands of years, and it is not a shame for the crossing army!
Either stand on the cusp of the storm with a high profile, or spend a life in a low-key and unknown manner, Wei Shuyu obviously chose the former!
……
The emperor's list has been released, and the name of Wei Shuyu resounded throughout Chang'an City.
From the nobles of the palace to the butchers and peddlers, after tea and dinner, they are all talking about Wei Shuyu!
At this time, Wei Shuyu and his party of four, four young people in Chang'an, had already called prostitutes to drink in Chunmanlou!
Wei Shuyu's approach was undoubtedly prescient.
At this moment, Zheng Guogong's Mansion, there are many guests, all of whom are congratulating with congratulatory gifts, and their faces are fake to real enthusiasm!
Wei Zheng also lost his old old-fashionedness, and the smile on his face continued, "Where, where, Brother Li praised it falsely." ”
"Brother Wang, it's too much of a dog."
Wei Zheng didn't know how many times he said such things.
Wei Shuyu is even in the middle of the three yuan, the gimmick needed is enough, to deal with these guests, with the father here, it is enough!
Wei Zheng was very happy, he drank a lot of wine, his face was red, and he was indulged once today.
It was getting late, and all the guests had receded.
Rumble! Rumble!
Thunder roared, lightning flashed, and a heavy rain poured down, and it became heavier and heavier, without the slightest trace of stopping.
It was already more than three feet three inches and forty-eight points......
The guests were scattered, and Wei Zheng, who had been busy all day, felt a little tired, so he sat on the pear blossom wood bench and took a nap.
Wei Zheng only felt that the whole person was light, as if he was in a sea of clouds, and if he looked closely, the golden light in the sky was flickering, and the fairy wind was gusting...... Auspicious constantly.
"Wei people Cao Guan!" A fairy sound sounded from the mist of the sea of clouds.
Wei Zheng suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly saluted respectfully towards the sea of clouds: "The minister is here!" ”
"The Dragon King of Jinghe tampered with the raindrops in Chang'an City for his own selfishness, although it did not cause floods, but it has violated the rules of heaven, and the responsibility is inescapable. The voice in the sea of clouds was flat, and he said loudly.
"Yes, Wei Zheng respectfully obeys the edict of the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable!"
After Wei Zheng left, a burst of light flashed in the sea of clouds.
Guanyin Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva showed their true bodies, their faces showed solemnity, they glanced at each other, and nodded, "The journey to the west will begin, no mistakes can be made!" ”
"I also bothered Manjushri Bodhisattva to personally escort the Dragon King of Jinghe to the Dragon Platform the day after tomorrow, seal his mana, abolish his dragon soul, and Wei Zheng slashed the dragon and my Buddhist plan!"
"Guanyin Bodhisattva rest assured, the poor monk will go in person!" Manjushri nodded.
……
Imperial Palace, Li Shimin's dormitory.
As soon as Li Shimin finished dinner, he asked the chief eunuch on the side with a smile: "Today's list, that kid from the Wei family, Lianzhong Sanyuan, is he arrogant and boundless?" ”
The chief eunuch has served Li Shimin for many years, and he can't guess His Majesty's will, and he has no intention of blaming him at all, so he said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, Wei Gongzi Lianzhong Sanyuan is now the most lively thing in Chang'an City, and the people are talking about it, saying that the imperial examination is good, and Your Majesty is wise." ”
"Oh? Is it? Haha......" Li Shimin chuckled, and the people could admit it.
"When Wei Gongzi looked at the list, there were three poems." The chief eunuch said with a smile again.
"Poetry? Read it and listen to it? Li Shimin was quite interested.
"How is Dai Zongfu? Qi Lu Qingwei ...... It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. ”
"The day is at the end of the mountain, the Yellow River flows into the sea, and you want to be poor for thousands of miles, and go to the next level."
"In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. The chief eunuch read the three poems carefully, obviously by heart.
Li Shimin listened to the poem read by the chief eunuch, his eyes opened slightly, revealing his essence, and he said with an aftertaste in his mouth: "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains and small ...... Want to go to the next level? Hehe, this little donkey of the Wei family, but he has lofty ambitions, and the two poems reflect the state of mind of Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan respectively, hehe......"
Li Shimin pursed his lips and chuckled, and then muttered:
"Then this spring breeze is proud, and he sees all the Chang'an flowers in one day, it is the arrogance of this Wei Shuyu after the three yuan, arrogant enough, but he is only seventeen years old, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Gongzi Wei is seventeen years old this year, and he is eighteen years old." The chief eunuch on the side hurriedly said.
"Hehe, then that's right, young people are not frivolous, when are you frivolous?" Why is Li Shimin not an arrogant person?
Wei Shuyu's policy, if it can be implemented, will create an unprecedented prosperous era, Li Shimin wants to clear his name and become an emperor through the ages, Wei Shuyu not only has the talent to govern the country, but also has a poetic talent, Li Shimin is more and more appreciative of this kid.
The chief eunuch had already understood the holy will, and at this moment he deliberately pretended not to understand, and asked: "Your Majesty, the second half of this poem can be understood, but the first half of the sentence is ...... Dirty...... Debauchery is really good, the slave maid looks at Wei Gongzi as a talent, handsome and extraordinary......"
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth showed a mysterious smile, "Dirty? Debauch? The description is very good, Chang'an Sishao has heard of it, right? Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, proficient in everything, visiting the kiln every day, do you think I don't know? ”
"The slave has heard of it."
"These second-generation officials are so idle every day, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are okay, at least they don't oppress the people, and they don't care about people's lives." When Li Yuan didn't get started, why wasn't Li Shimin proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling? It's all from the past.
"But in the eyes of the slave maid, the meaning of Wei Gongzi to do this poem is to introspect and say goodbye to the past." The chief eunuch said with a smile.
"It's good to have such a state of mind!"
Li Shimin thought for a moment, and his heart moved: "Spread the decree, tomorrow Wei Shuyu will be allowed to ride a horse to patrol the city, and let him see all the Chang'an flowers in one day, this will be the norm in the future, and anyone who wins the champion can do it!" ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and those students will feel Your Majesty's favor in the future, and they will be loyal to the monarch and serve the country......"
"Alright, let's go down."
"Slave and maid retire!"
……
On the second day, it was dawn.
Wei Shuyu stayed overnight in Chunmanlou, full of alcohol, and was carried home by Wei Zheng's ears.
"Son, Your Majesty has a decree to order you to ride a horse to patrol the city and see all the Chang'an flowers, what a great honor is this? Unprecedented...... "Wei Zheng is extremely happy these days, he has to be like this, what more can his husband ask for?"
"Huh? Riding a horse to tour the city and seeing all the Chang'an flowers started with me? Wei Shuyu was a little surprised.
"Okay, don't bother, it's time for someone to come to the palace in a while."
Early in the morning, the sun has just risen.
Wei Shuyu wore a champion red robe, rode on a strong horse, and began to travel street by street, looking at flowers!
Chang'an City, full of people, thousands of empty alleys, hundreds of people are following behind Wei Shuyu, following the champion to visit the city, blessed!
And at this time.
Chang'an City, the city gate is at a declination angle.
An old fortune teller in a blue cloth shirt sat on a stall, drinking idle tea, and seemed to be waiting for someone.
"Yuan Shoucheng!"
"You're just a swaggering liar, and you still have the face to set up a stall here?"
Suddenly, a loud roar and angry scolding sounded, and I saw a man in a fancy costume walking forward and taking advantage of the situation to open Yuan Shoucheng's fortune-telling stall.
Yuan Shoucheng looked at the visitor quietly, his face was very flat, he was not moved, but asked lightly: "How did I deceive?" ”
"Yesterday you said, what is the number of points of rain in Chang'an?" The man in fancy clothes asked loudly.
"Three feet, three inches, and forty-eight points!" Yuan Shoucheng replied with a flat face.
"That's not right! It's clearly three feet, four inches, and forty-eight points! It's an inch more, how do you explain it? And say you're not a swindler? The man in Chinese clothes took advantage of the situation to open Yuan Shoucheng's stall.
Who knows, Yuan Shoucheng's face changed suddenly, and he scolded loudly: "The bold Jinghe Dragon King, you dare to change the rain point without permission, you still don't know that you have violated the rules of the heavenly court?" The Jade Emperor Great Tianzun has already sent a heavenly official to arrest you, and you will not escape the death penalty, and it is indispensable to walk on the dragon platform, and you dare to speak out here?! ”
