Dai Ting set off without making a sound.
Logically speaking, His Majesty Li Er dealt with the culprit Li's younger brother, confiscated the Li family, and gave Li Yuanying a generous reward as a consolation. They should not be held accountable to Duke Xun and his wife.
You must know that His Majesty Li Er entrusted the important portal of Luoyang to Duke Xun, which shows that he has a lot of trust in Duke Xun. In comparison, Li Yuanying was just a vassal who was far away from the court.
Li Yuanying's heart was bright and bright, he never touched things that shouldn't be touched, and never thought of competing with important officials in the court.
But this time, it is a bit unreasonable for Duke Xun's wife and brother to want his life. If you feel that your financial resources have been robbed, you can just talk about it, and you may be able to discuss a new way to make money. Put people to death! Courage certainly didn't grow in a day, and he dared to attack him. It can be seen that he usually does this kind of thing of colluding with bandits for money and death.
Duke Xun helped cover it up so neatly this time, obviously he also knows what kind of virtue this brother-in-law is. Li Yuanying doesn't dislike people who love their wives like their own lives, on the contrary, he thinks it's great to respect and love their wives like Wei Zheng and the others. But if your wife loves so much that right and wrong are irrelevant, and you help watch out if the other party has an affair, and you bury the body after the other party kills, Li Yuanying thinks it shouldn't be!
Therefore, Li Yuanying did not object to Dai Ting's going to Luoyang, but only told Dai Ting to target Duke Xun's party and not to hurt Luoyang.
Luoyang is not Goryeo and Japan, it is the place of Tang Dynasty, which is close to Chang'an, so Luoyang cannot be harmed for the sake of Xun Guogong.
Moreover, if it really got to that point, His Majesty Li Er would not be able to accommodate Dai Ting. Li Yuanying couldn't do anything else, but his senses were still very keen. Even if His Majesty Li Er never said it, he could still detect that His Majesty Li Er had the idea of killing Dai Ting.
Just when Dai Ting reported that Mr. Xun had adopted five hundred adopted sons privately.
If Dai Ting had investigated further at that time, in the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, they were spying on the movements of important officials in the court. They can do anything outside of the Tang Dynasty, but they cannot extend their hands to the territory of the Tang Dynasty or above the court.
This time he asked Dai Ting to go to Luoyang, but he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
But if he did nothing, he would not be reconciled either.
Li Yuanying had been sick for several days after leaving Dai Ting, Wu Mei and the others felt pain in their eyes, and even Lu Zhaolin, who was about to leave for Chang'an to marry Gao Yang, was depressed. They are still too useless, even to take revenge on those who want Li Yuanying's life, they have to weigh it again and again.
However, they are too weak right now.
Write down some accounts first, and calculate slowly later!
Wu Mei and Wei Shu discussed arranging a spring hunt, which made Li Yuanying lively.
Li Yuanying has never had any troubles, as long as there is excitement, he must be happy. What's more, the March warblers are flying and the grass is growing, which is also suitable for going out to relax.
Li Yuanying loves to play, and Tengzhou naturally has no shortage of hunting grounds. In the past, everyone was afraid that he would be too wild to play, so they seldom urged him to go hunting. This time, Wu Mei asked people to make sufficient preparations, including hawks and dogs, and also asked people to drive several camels to carry the prey.
As soon as Li Yuanying saw this battle, he immediately put the boredom of these days behind him, and happily called his friends to go out to play.
Lu Zhaolin and the others were all on vacation together, and accompanied Li Yuanying to make a fuss. The group rode away in a mighty manner, followed by the people in charge of training eagles, dogs and camels. The momentum was so great that many people stopped to watch.
Some of the people were identifying Li Yuanying and others' famous horses, some were recognizing people, and some were surprised to see the hawks, harriers and camels that were rarely seen on weekdays, and felt that His Royal Highness Teng Wang was really majestic, even hunting , it looks almost like an expedition!
When Li Yuanying and his party arrived at the hunting ground, they saw that the fields were lush with spring, and the short hills in the distance were dotted with scattered wild flowers. Although no one came to see the flowers, they were still competing for beauty in the wild grass. The weather was fine that day, Li Yuanying looked up and saw that the hunting ground was empty and the blue color connected to the sky, which made him feel brighter unconsciously.
The group of people sat down and had breakfast with the boundless spring scenery first, Di Renjie said: "Meiniang is right, it's really more enjoyable to go out and eat."
The sky is the cover, the earth is the mat, the sky is blue, the grass is vast, how can we not be happy! There are only a few short decades in the world of life. If you can't indulge and wantonly do what you want to do even in these few decades, wouldn't it be a waste of life!
Li Yuanying raised his glass, respecting the heaven and the earth, thanking the heaven and the earth for conceiving and nurturing all things, allowing him to see the splendor of spring, the shade of summer trees, the abundance of autumn fruits, and the continuous snow in winter; Everything is beautiful in the world; three respects to everyone who is present and not present, and thank them for being by his side, so that he will never feel lonely.
After toasting three cups, Li Yuanying's face was already stained with a faint blush, and the others also drank three cups with him, but it's not as easy as Li Yuanying's face when drinking, so it looks good.
Wei Shu held the tea served by Huang Oriole in front of him, and told him to sober up after drinking, but don't get drunk and ride a horse to hunt.
Li Yuanying took advantage of the wine to show off his fierceness: "Sister Shu, feed me."
Wei Shu glanced at the others. Li Yuanying, who took advantage of the opportunity, had no choice but to feed the tea to his mouth.
Li Yuanying ate half a bowl of tea with gusto, and immediately woke up from the wine, and took Wei Shu to hunt together.
Although Wei Shu and the others had learned riding and archery, they hadn't been of much use after all, at most they just played polo. Li Yuanying felt that they should also go to the actual battle, so as not to be unable to perform well. After all, no one can guarantee whether they will meet the brainless people like Li's brother next time, and those desperate desperadoes. .
So anyone who could mount a horse went into the hunting ground with bows and arrows.
Some of the guards who had already been ordered were responsible for defense, and some were responsible for driving the prey from three sides to the range of activities of Li Yuanying and others. Li Yuanying and his party quickly dispersed and began to attack the prey that had been driven into the hunting ground. After a long time, everyone was sweating profusely, and the accompanying camels were also loaded with prey.
Li Yuanying ran to find Wang Yifang enthusiastically, and asked Wang Yifang to judge who would win and who would lose. Li Yuanying was full of confidence, feeling that the number one was already his own, no one hunted as much as him! Unexpectedly, Wu Mei and Di Renjie came back at this time, accompanied by several tall camels loaded with prey, it was very spectacular to watch.
When Li Yuanying saw it, he opened his eyes in disbelief, ran over and circled the camels, and said unwillingly, "Impossible, you must have cheated!"
Wu Mei got off her horse, her whole body seemed to be shining brightly. She responded to Li Yuanying's words with a smile: "That's right, these prey were all smashed to death under the tree, and we picked them up."
Li Yuanying snorted twice, and was even more dissatisfied: "This lie is very fake when you hear it, and you can't make it up better." Not reconciled, Li Yuanying felt much happier after sweating profusely. Spring is the season for birds and beasts to multiply. Li Yuanying did not continue hunting in the afternoon, but picked the prey he wanted to eat and kept the rest on the back of the camel to carry him back to the city.
Back in the city, Li Yuanying asked people to find butchers in the city who were good at cooking prey and set up a row of stalls, and paid them to help distribute the meat to the passing people. Everyone shared a piece of meat and went back to taste it.
When everyone heard that they could eat the prey that Li Yuanying personally hunted, they all flocked to them and lined up in an orderly line to get the meat. Li Yuanying was very happy to see everyone, and announced on the spot that there would be no curfew for this month, and everyone could go out and walk around during the day and night.
The people were overjoyed, and replied loudly: "If someone dares to make trouble, not to mention that the government will not let them go, we will be the first to not let them go!"
Tengzhou was extremely lively on this day. Those who received the meat went back triumphantly to show off to the neighbors, and those who did not receive the meat were not discouraged. They secretly decided to wait around the butcher shop the next time they saw Li Yuanying taking people out of the city, so that they could be shared as soon as possible. Order the meat and go home. It's not that they can't afford meat, but they want to enjoy His Royal Highness King Teng's noble spirit!
In the evening, almost every household wafted out the smell of meat, some were given out, some were bought by themselves, and they all scrambled to cook a tempting aroma, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they ate meat at night. After nightfall, merchants who learned that there is no curfew at night tried their best to attract customers, and it was even more lively than during the day.
Some foreign guests were stunned when they saw this scene: Why is Tengzhou so prosperous
Now that the curfew was in place, Li Yuanying naturally made double preparations. The Tengzhou Government Office had limited manpower and could not be on duty all day long, so Li Yuanying recruited the 2,000 places given by His Majesty Li Er, and distributed them to various workshops and townships in Tengzhou, using these 2,000 people as Tengzhou's security network. They are responsible for solving some minor problems of the common people, and they are qualified to wear armor, use swords and bows, and kill people with evil intentions.
Li Yuanying finished arranging the security, and then came up with the idea of money stove.
He doesn't plan to practice soldiers, anyway, it's enough to have this group around him, and most people won't be as stupid as that Li's brother, who will kill him with a sharp knife. But casting money that belongs to Tengzhou is quite tempting.
He wants to make Tengzhou a place different from other places, different from Chang'an, different from any place in the world.
This kind of difference can't be clearly shown, but he wants to do anything that can be distinguished from other places.
Li Yuanying climbed the tower and looked towards Chang'an for a long time, recalling everything from birth to growing up. He didn't know if Brother Huang would like this different Tengzhou, and he didn't know if Brother Huang would want to kill this difference early.
"Your Highness." Wu Mei's voice came from the escalator.
Li Yuanying turned his head to look, and saw Wu Mei came upstairs, walked to his side and looked at Chang'an with him.
In fact, Tengzhou couldn't see Chang'an, but Wu Mei knew where he was looking.
Wu Mei said seriously: "No matter what Your Highness wants to do, we will support His Highness." She raised her bright eyes and looked at Li Yuanying, "Your Highness shouldn't have any hesitation, that is not suitable for His Highness."
Li Yuanying should be high-spirited and indomitable, dare to do anything, dare to say anything, and should not be restrained in any way. As long as he is in Tengzhou, Li Yuanying can do anything! If anyone wants to restrain Li Yuanying, they should cut off the rope! If Chang'an can't accommodate them, they will never go back!
Li Yuanying looked at Wu Mei with a firm and decisive gaze.
Li Yuanying said: "I didn't hesitate." He paused, and then said, "I was just thinking, can Tengzhou become as prosperous as Chang'an, so that Chang'an people are reluctant to leave when they come, so that you don't regret coming to Tengzhou with me "It also allows him to have the capital to protect all the people he wants to protect, and he can avenge himself if he has a grudge, without too many scruples!
Wu Mei said: "No one regrets it." Even if Li Yuanying went out to sea secretly, no one was really angry with him, they were just worried.
Li Yuanying didn't say anything. After a while he said: "Only in Tengzhou, I only do what I want to do in Tengzhou." His voice was not loud, as if he was talking to Wu Mei, but also as if he was talking to himself.
Wu Mei didn't bother Li Yuanying, and let him stand there quietly and look in the direction of Chang'an.
Li Yuanying grew up in Chang'an—in the palace—and beside His Majesty Li Er. He never had other thoughts, and he never coveted a position that did not belong to him. However, when he walked before the gate of hell and found that he was struggling to even protect the people around him, he had to admit that he was a little naive in the past. He thinks that he is bright and magnanimous, and if he doesn't touch anything that His Majesty Li Er doesn't want him to touch, others can't do anything to him, but in fact, there are many open swords and dark arrows aimed at them.
They still have to become more important.
Become more important to Datang.
They also have to become more aggressive, and anyone who dares to reach out to them will hit back hard.
Only in that way, no one would dare to attack them again.
Now that Li Yuanying has grown up, he can no longer tie everything to the shallow brotherhood between him and His Majesty Li Er, after all, the royal family doesn't have much friendship to speak of.
Li Yuanying chatted with Wu Mei for a while, then went back to rest.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Yuanying behaved as usual, and it seemed that there was no difference.
After eating breakfast, Li Yuanying wandered to the academy, and found a master of painting to go out with the students to enjoy the spring. He wanted to paint the mountains and rivers in Tengzhou and collect Qian Fan's inspiration. The so-called money model is the mold used to print money. Since money is to be cast, it must be beautiful and cannot be found elsewhere.
Li Yuanying went out with a lot of people who studied painting, and it was quite lively for the common people. When they learned that Li Yuanying wanted to mint money, everyone was full of anticipation and waited to see the new money that belonged to them in Tengzhou.
