The news from Tengzhou was still regularly transmitted back to Beijing, and it was inevitable that some people thought it was inappropriate for Li Yuanying to open the curfew privately and take the people to have fun wantonly.
His Majesty Li Er's decision to give people and delegate power really made many people jump in fear. From the current point of view, Li Yuanying has no ambitions and only knows to eat, drink, play and fool around every day. But Li Yuanying is only fifteen or sixteen years old, much younger than the prince, who knows what he will think when he grows up
Everyone felt that His Majesty Li Er had indulged Li Yuanying too much. Even if Li Yuanying was wronged, this precedent cannot be set! Take a look, Li Yuanying immediately became fussy.
His Majesty Li Er has not received any personal letters from Li Yuanying recently.
Li Yuanying followed the rules and handed the notebooks to Chang'an, and the writing was gorgeous and standardized, and it was obvious that Li Yuanying did not write it himself.
His Majesty Li Er also responded according to the rules, and he replied with a straight line, scolding when he should be scolded, and reprimanding when he should be reprimanded, without any ambiguity.
Regarding the impeachment of the courtiers, His Majesty Li Er did not stop him, and sent it to Tengzhou as it was, so that Li Yuanying could read it carefully and accept the teachings of the elders.
His Majesty Li Er behaved like this, and he didn't seem to be in a bad mood.
Changsun Wuji and the others were a bit out of sorts.
When His Majesty Li Er asked them about Li Yuanying's younger brother, they thought it was too disgusting, how could he be so shameless.
Now that His Majesty Li Er and Li Yuanying had a quarrel over the assassination, and they were not cold or indifferent, relying on paperwork as a routine, and they felt uncomfortable all over again. They followed His Majesty Li Er all the way. Although they could not say that they were dedicated to the emperor and selfless, the friendship between the emperor and his ministers for so many years was not fake.
So two brothers who are good friends, why did they suddenly become like this
Not only Changsun Wuji and the others were unhappy, but Li Chengqian also felt that something was wrong.
Li Chengqian looks a bit like a crown prince now, this year His Majesty Li Er is going to Cuiwei Palace to escape the summer heat, Chang'an is still entrusted to him, the elderly Wei Zheng did not accompany him this time.
Li Chengqian thought that Wei Zheng and Li Yuanying were close, so he invited Wei Zheng into the East Palace to ask about Li Yuanying.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Wei Zheng was concerned, thought for a while, and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty wants to give it a try."
As for what to try, Wei Zheng didn't go into details, leaving it to Li Chengqian to figure it out.
Li Chengqian sent Wei Zheng away, and sat there alone thinking about Wei Zheng's words.
His Majesty Li Er wants to give it a try, who is he going to try
Is it to test Duke Xun Zhang Liang, or to test Li Yuanying
Or both.
Li Yuanying grew up, and unknowingly reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, and could no longer be a child. So, push him to see how far he can do it; try him to see if he can really be consistent.
Also give Duke Xun a try to see if he is really not dissatisfied.
His Majesty Li Er gently let go of Duke Xun who sent people to silence him, and let them form such a grudge. Li Yuanying may not understand, but so what if he understands, thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. His Majesty Li Er has made a decision, and they have to accept.
As for how to do it in private, it can only be done according to one's own ability.
His Majesty Li Er wanted to see this "capability".
Temptation always hurts. On one side was his cronies who had followed him early on, and on the other side was his younger brother raised by himself. His Majesty Li Er still poured oil between them without hesitation. No wonder Li Yuanying was angry and refused to write any more letters.
Li Chengqian figured it out, and was about to write a letter to persuade Li Yuanying, when he heard a knock on the door, it was his son Li Xiang who came running.
Li Xiang always came and went freely in the East Palace, but when he saw Li Chengqian concentrating on thinking, he obediently knocked on the door to remind him.
Li Chengqian let him into the room to talk.
Li Xiang ran over and sat down beside Li Chengqian. He was in the palace, he was young, and he was slow to know the news. When he knew that Li Yuanying was assassinated, everything was over.
Li Xiang was very angry, and thought about it for many days, but he couldn't think of any good way to protect Yaoyao. He could only go to the school grounds to watch the guards train every day. He persisted for a whole month, and personally selected ten. The most powerful person was listed on the list, and he came to Li Chengqian with his arms in his arms.
Li Chengqian saw Li Xiang sitting next to him eagerly, his eyes were the same as when he was asking for something, so he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
Li Xiang handed the list to Li Chengqian and said, "Yeah, if you want someone to deliver letters to Tengzhou, you can also bring these ten people there. I've seen them, and they are the most powerful!"
Li Chengqian said: "No problem, but you have to talk to your grandfather."
There is a fixed number of guards in the palace, even those who follow Li Xiang cannot be transferred to Tengzhou casually.
Li Chengqian asked Li Xiang if he wanted to say it himself or let him say hello on his behalf.
Li Xiang said: "I'll go by myself!" After speaking, Li Xiang ran away again, his steps were as brisk as when he came.
Li Chengqian watched his son's small figure stepping on the light outside the house and disappearing, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, he clearly realized that some things were indeed changing.
For more than a year, he would have this feeling from time to time, as if he shouldn't have such a peaceful mind, and shouldn't still be a prince.
This feeling is really irrational.
He is obviously still the prince of Datang.
That's right, he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian's heart suddenly settled down, and he wrote a letter to Li Yuanying, but the letter did not persuade Li Yuanying to be soft and bear it as he planned at the beginning, but wrote his thoughts directly: The father's legs were crying bitterly, admitting his mistakes and recalling the past, crying tears at his age, it was really shameless. Usually you always seize the opportunity to act coquettishly and sell well, why is he outcompeted this time? If you feel wronged, scold him! Hit him if you feel dissatisfied! The majestic Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you don't need to endure this kind of thing. If something happens, my nephew will help you!
After Li Chengqian finished writing this letter, he felt happy. He stood up and walked to the window.
It was the intersection of spring and summer, the sun was shining outside the window, and the flowers were blooming just in time. Li Chengqian stood in a good mood for a while, and went back to the table to actively look at the documents on the table.
Since he boasted that Haikou would be a backer for his uncle Yao, he wanted to be a qualified prince, so that his words would carry more weight in the court!
At this moment, Li Xiang also successfully met His Majesty Li Er.
Li Xiang is not afraid of His Majesty Li Er now, so he ran to sit next to His Majesty Li Er, and told His Majesty Li Er that he would send ten of the best guards to him. Li Xiang said: "Grandfather, just let me send people there!"
His Majesty Li Er said: "What? Do you think recruiting two thousand more elites can't protect you?"
Li Xiang said: "No! Don't everyone say that the imperial guards are the most powerful in the world? The temporary recruits are no match! I still want to send them away."
His Majesty Li Er nodded in agreement.
Li Xiang imitated Li Yuanying and approached His Majesty Li Er to be courteous, busy with left and right, but he just refused to leave anyway.
Changsun Wuji and the others came to discuss the matter. Seeing this scene, they felt as if they had seen Li Yuanying back then!
His Majesty Li Er enjoyed it quite a bit, letting Li Xiang walk around by his side. This kid used to love to hang out with Li Yuanying, he didn't learn anything else, but he learned most of his flattering skills!
…
Xiangzhou heard the news relatively late. After all, a prince and an important minister were involved, and the news had not spread beyond Chang'an.
Li Tai still knew about it from Li Xiaoyuanqiu.
How old is Li Xiaoyuan, and he is not so round anymore. After receiving Li Xiang's letter, he also ran to search his own treasury angrily. Send it to Li Yuanying.
This movement caught Li Tai's attention, and he couldn't help but ask him what's wrong.
Li Xiaoyuanqiu told Li Tai about Li Yuanying's assassination.
Li Tai didn't expect that he would have a crow's mouth one day. He didn't have the nerve to be happy in front of his son, so he generously asked someone to open the treasury for Li Xiaoyuan to pick out, and just let him send what he liked.
Li Xiaoyuan happily ran to the warehouse to pick out the treasures.
As soon as his son left, Li Tai couldn't help laughing, thinking that Li Yuanying would have this day too. As a result, Li Tai's good mood didn't last long, and he heard the steward sneak away to say that his son had picked up two carts of calligraphy and painting treasures in the warehouse!
Li Tai's eyes darkened.
What a loser!
Li Xiaoyuanqiu finished picking excitedly, and came to Li Tai with a list to ask for instructions: "Yeah, can I pick these?" His tone and expression were careful and respectful, as long as Li Tai said no, he would immediately Also go back.
Can Li Tai say no to his son's dark eyes? He could only say: "Yes, I will arrange for someone to send it."
Li Yuanying spent a month slowly walking all over Tengzhou's mountains and rivers, leading a group of painting students to draw close-ups of each landscape. Because Li Yuanying was always in Tengzhou this time, he could find him anytime he wanted, and no one stopped him from going out.
Li Yuanying returned to Tengzhou City with a large stack of drawings carried on a camel, and happened to meet the wishes from Chang'an and Xiangzhou.
Li Zhi and the others had delivered things a long time ago, so Li Yuanying didn't think it was strange to hear that Li Xiang and the others had asked for something to be delivered.
After seeing the things sent by both sides, Li Yuanying smiled in front of the two carts of treasures piled high, and said to Wei Shu: "This kid has moved so many treasures, Qing Que is still mad!"
Hearing that the ten guards sent by Li Xiang said that they were picked by Li Xiang himself, and that they had been picked for a whole month, Li Yuanying felt warm again. In fact, everyone is good enough to him, even His Majesty Li Er is the first to give treasures and give others. He is used to being happy and can't bear the slightest grievance.
Li Yuanying read the treasures given by his two nephews with great interest, and then went to open the letter Li Chengqian gave him.
After reading the letter, Li Yuanying seemed to see his good nephew full of pride. Yes, there is a big nephew to help him carry it around!
Li Yuanying was stimulated by Li Chengqian's rhetoric, so he also got excited, took the servants to the study room, wrote a letter scolding His Majesty Li Er, asking if I am your most beloved brother! This Duke Xun's brother-in-law wanted to kill me and he helped cover it up, you didn't punish him! He still writes and scolds me at every turn! It's fine if you don't care about me, and let me read the impeachment papers to reflect!
After Li Yuanying scolded His Majesty Li Er, he said that he had sent Dai Ting to Luoyang, but he was not convinced! Of course, they will definitely not engage in murder and planting. They are very reasonable, and at most they just scare Duke Xun.
Li Yuanying finished what he wanted to say, fearing that he would go back on his word, he ordered someone to send him to Chang'an immediately.
After finishing writing the letter, Li Yuanying stood up and wandered around the study twice, noticing that the heads of two little maids, Huang Ying and Huang Li, were following him, and smiled happily. He joked: "Xiang'er sent me another ten guards, all of whom are unmarried young talents. If you like any one, just tell your princess."
Huang Ying and Huang Oriole looked at each other, and said in unison, "Your Highness, we are still young!" The two little girls were lively and loveable, like two budding flowers, but they looked exactly alike, and it was very cute when they spoke in unison.
Li Yuanying said: "Then observe and observe first, and act quickly when you see something good."
Huang Ying and Huang Ying were all shy and stopped answering.
Li Yuanying had been distracted for a month, and the slightest bit of depression had long since dissipated. He began to choose the sketches he liked, fine-tuned them carefully, and then selected three kinds of Zhang as money models, and the money models were changed every year.
This kind of money is not made much, and only three thousand pieces of gold, silver and copper are cast for each type, which represents the good mountains, rivers and scenery of this place.
For the selected places, the priority is to build roads and build post stations. He personally took people to the place to settle there for three months, brought famous teachers and scholars there, and brought various technologies. If this area is still selected in the future, they can draw a picture of its changes!
In conjunction with the issuance of new currency, there are also stamps for sending credit. The stamps are cheap and cost a penny, and you can send them to the corresponding place if you paste them.
It is very troublesome for people to send letters these days. People who are far away are not qualified to use post stations, so they can only ask acquaintances to deliver them. Usually, the wait is several months; After a trip, why do you need to write a letter
Therefore, post stations often have nothing to do with ordinary people.
But now Li Yuanying said that as long as they spend a penny, someone will help them deliver the letter to the corresponding place. There is no high price and no need to wait for acquaintances. They can easily write letters and communicate with people from all over the world. Moreover, the post station is a place where officials and dignitaries can only enter, and now they are willing to help them run errands and deliver letters!
The people in Tengzhou were very excited and wanted Li Yuanying to choose their area so that they could have their own coins and stamps. What's more, there are actions such as building roads, paving bridges and building post stations that follow!
Compared with the excitement of ordinary people, the rich and powerful in Tengzhou couldn't sit still.
If the roads and bridges are built and the village-to-village communication that Li Yuanying said is realized, it will only be more convenient for the common people, but it will be a great opportunity for them! The value of their farm workshops will double, or even double!
The most important thing is that if famous teachers and scholars come to teach, their children can also benefit! That's a benefit that no amount of money can buy!
For a while, those who were qualified to visit Li Yuanying sent posts to Li Yuanying, and those who were not qualified worked hard on the people around Li Yuanying, either boasting about the beautiful mountains and rivers at home, or expressing that they voluntarily donated roads and bridges.
Li Yuanying saw that they were so enthusiastic, so he announced to the public that elders from all over the country were invited to come and vote.
Instead of spending the money on the back door, it is better for everyone to write down the money they are willing to pay, so that we can be sure that the money has been paid for!
Although everyone felt that they had fallen into a trap, they had already stepped into it, and the bait was still so delicious that no one was willing to spit it out!
So everyone started to inquire about each other's bids, and the neighbors of this county all got to know the price. Anyway, they must be higher than the neighbors!
The author has something to say:
Little prince: I'm so ruthless that I even sold myself!
Many years later, a box of letters from King Teng was unearthed, which shocked the archaeological world.
His Majesty Li Er: My brother blabla
Li Chengqian: Uncle Yao blabla
Li Xiang: Yaoyao blabla
Li Xiaoyuan: Yaoyao blabla
People in later generations: Are you Li family members so gross? (pointing)
