After talking with the others, His Majesty Li Er and Li Chengqian had a private chat, the content of the chat was mainly related to Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying has a lot of treasures in his hands, and he also has a lot of whimsical ideas, just like a child holding a treasure chest. But he himself doesn't know the usefulness of many things at all, opening the treasure chest from time to time to blind others' eyes is really worrying.
His Majesty Li Er mainly wanted Li Chengqian to heal his wounds with peace of mind. Among so many sons, he and Li Yuanying were the best friends. In the future, when his elder brother was gone, he would have to be watched by his nephew.
There are some things that an emperor can't do, and a prince can't do, but it's okay to protect Li Yuanying, a fearless guy, to do it. Watching him frisky and doing things every day is quite relieved.
Li Chengqian didn't know whether he should be jealous of Li Yuanying or not, even if they were his own sons, he probably didn't let His Majesty Li Er worry so much. Look at what this is saying: You and your uncle Yao are the best among you brothers, you have to secure your position as the crown prince, and help me protect your uncle Yao when you ascend the throne in the future!
If he had heard His Majesty Li Er say such things a few years earlier, Li Chengqian might have rebelled! Listening to what His Majesty Li Er said now, Li Chengqian no longer wants to care about it, and he will be mad at himself if he cares too much. Didn't you see that Qing Que was so angry out of Chang'an
Anyway, his father was making sure that no matter how well his leg recovered, the crown prince would not be shaken!
Li Chengqian said: "Uncle Yao knows it well." Don't look at Li Yuanying's carelessness, as if digging out without covering anything, in fact, he knows what can be done and what can't be done.
His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly: "If he really knows that much, he won't be so noisy."
From His Majesty Li Er's point of view, there was only one thing about Li Yuanying that was right, and that was the birth of his younger brother. As long as Li Yuanying was born a few years earlier or the mother clan was stronger, he would not be able to pamper Li Yuanying like this. Now that he is used to this, what else can he do except continue to pamper and protect him
Li Yuanying didn't know that he was stamped by His Majesty Li Er as "holding a treasure chest". He wrote the second letter to His Majesty Li Er, and soon saw Li Tai's letter. Li Tai was annoyed by him, so the letters were not written so politely, and Li Yuanying could see Li Dayuanqiu sitting in front of the desk angrily and scolding him bloody through the letter paper.
Li Yuanying was very pleased, and wrote a reply letter to Li Tai in a hurry, saying that he was very moved when he received a letter from his fourth nephew for the first time. He then recalled the past in the letter, saying that when he was a guest at Prince Wei's mansion, his fourth nephew would always come to accompany him in person. Those days are really nostalgic. I don't know how the fourth nephew is now, whether he has exercised a lot, and everything is in order. It is not as important as physical health. Only by maintaining a good body can you live a good life!
Li Yuanying wrote eloquently and asked someone to send it to Xiangzhou.
Li Tai received the bulging letter, his face was dark, and after reading it, his face became even darker. Who misses days like that? Was he worried that Li Yuanying would poach him away? In the end, Li Yuanying was poached away!
Thinking of the past, Li Tai was so angry that he skipped a bowl in the evening, secretly hating himself for being so overwhelmed that he actually wrote a letter to Li Yuanying! Could Li Yuanying be reprimanded? Li Yuanying couldn't understand human speech at all!
Li Taizheng was sulking, and went out on horseback the next day to relax, but on the way back to the house, he accidentally sprained his foot, so angry that he was bored at home and healed his injury silently.
Li Xiaoyuanqiu can be regarded as taking the opportunity to learn and sell. He took his younger siblings to follow Li Xiang's teaching and began to accompany the injured every day. Li Tai was surrounded by his own children, playing with them. Let them go!
After such a turmoil, at the beginning of April, Li Yuanying's second letter was finally delivered to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er saw that Li Zhi was so angry with Li Yuanying that he wrote a letter to complain. Not only did he not feel that Li Zhi did something wrong, but he also felt that Li Zhi did a good job. These two boys played together since they were young, and now they have three sons and daughters. Li Yuanying didn't even get married, so it looks really pitiful.
His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment, and called Li Chunfeng to pick a good day for getting married, which must be after the second spring of next year and not too late.
Li Chunfeng understood as soon as he heard it, that His Majesty Li Er was going to set a date for Li Yuanying's marriage. Next year in February, Yujia will go to Mount Tai. His Majesty Li Er is obviously planning to turn a corner and go to Tengzhou to preside over Li Yuanying's wedding in person.
It stands to reason that the vassal king should have married his wife before he left Chang'an, but Li Yuanying made such a fuss in front of Wei Zheng by pretending to die.
Now his daughter-in-law can indeed be on her own, but even if she is not married, when she goes out, many people already regard her as a princess-to-be. So right now, it doesn't matter whether they get married or not. The only obstacle is that he often angers His Majesty Li Er, causing his marriage to be delayed behind his nephew and niece!
It was rare that His Majesty Li Er was finally willing to let go, and Li Yuanying was very happy to know.
Li Chunfeng took the order and left.
His Majesty Li Er gave Li Chunfeng instructions, but he didn't give Li Yuanying permission. He only wrote back to reprimand Li Yuanying for not thinking too much, did he forget what he said? No matter how regretful the big words I said, I still have to hold on, or would you be ashamed to see Lao Wei
After Fengtai Straight Road was repaired, it was not too late for Chang'an to send letters to Tengzhou. Li Yuanying received a reply from His Majesty Li Er within a few days.
Seeing His Majesty Li Er swearing at him again, as if he was proud of being a pheasant slave, Li Yuanying was so angry that he ran to Wei Shu to scold His Majesty Li Er severely.
Only then did Wei Shu know that Li Yuanying wrote again to ask His Majesty Li Er. To be honest, seeing that Gao Yang and Lu Zhaolin got married, it's not that she didn't want to get married with Li Yuanying earlier, but it's just that His Majesty Li Er hasn't moved, so she can't say anything.
Wei Shu took His Majesty Li Er's letter and read it. Seeing that Li Yuanying was still angry, she took the initiative to pull Li Yuanying and said, "If His Majesty doesn't mention it again next year, we can directly ask mother and grandfather to make the decision."
Although Li Yuanying is His Majesty Li Er's youngest brother, Liu Baolin is still there, her grandfather and parents are also there, and the marriage contract was made early in the morning. It's not that they can't get married without His Majesty Li Er's will. If His Majesty Li Er had to stop them from getting married, they would not take His Majesty Li Er to play, and just made the marriage happen!
When Li Yuanying heard this proposal, he thought it was great, and even wanted to write to Wei Zheng directly to discuss it. Fortunately, Wei Shu stopped him.
Wei Shu analyzed to Li Yuanying that His Majesty Li Er will probably let them get married early next year, because His Majesty Li Er will go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen at that time, and he will probably transfer to Chang'an to help them preside over the marriage. In all fairness, His Majesty Li Er's elder brother is still very good to Li Yuanying, and the lectures in the letter are simply to make Li Yuanying anxious on purpose.
Li Yuanying thought it made sense, so he turned around and wrote a letter to His Majesty Li Er, including what Wei Shu had analyzed for him, without any hesitation in selling his daughter-in-law. In the letter, he triumphantly showed that he has a smart daughter-in-law, and he has seen through all His Majesty Li Er's little tricks!
After writing his letter to His Majesty Li Er, Li Yuanying began to think about how to make his big wedding lively. He only gets married once in his life, so he doesn't want His Majesty Li Er to order someone to arrange it directly.
It doesn't matter if the wedding date is not fixed, things can be prepared first!
Li Yuanying started to jump up and down, and his whole body was filled with an unconcealable joy. Wu Mei and the others stayed in the city and did not go to the pilot county together, so they didn't know that Li Yuanying had started acting as a demon again. Wei Ying, who was finally a little less busy recently, found out, and asked Wei Shu privately what good things happened to Li Yuanying.
Wei Shu didn't expect her analysis to make Li Yuanying so happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, calmly telling Wei Ying what she deduced.
Now Wei Ying became a distinct control group, the more joyful Li Yuanying danced, the more wilted Wei Ying was. Good little sister, she might be raped by Li Yuanying next year!
Li Yuanying was not idle for a moment, and the work of counting the warehouse was done by his subordinates, and he was not in a hurry, so he asked someone to move out the fire tree from the warehouse to study. This fire tree was made in the Sui Dynasty, and there are many exquisite mechanisms on it. As long as some special gunpowder is poured into it, bright white flames can be emitted. This is the so-called "fire tree and silver flower".
Li Yuanying went around the fire tree to study back and forth, wondering if he could make more batches like this, but it would be extremely lively if it was released later at night! It's just that this fire tree is exquisitely made, and even the size and direction of the flame when it ignites are well controlled. It is not easy to imitate, and he only has such a tree, so he is really reluctant to be dismantled and pondered.
Li Yuanying discussed with the system to scan the Huoshu into the Wanjie Library, and directly use the blueprint to do it. This is just an imitation of existing things, not a big problem, the system happily let Li Yuanying exchange the blueprint.
When Li Yuanying got the drawings, he realized that there were nearly 3,000 small parts in this thing. He pulled a futon and sat on it, looked at the fire tree and began to lose himself in thought.
When Wei Shu looked for it, what she saw was the bare "iron tree" that looked a little strange during the day.
Wei Shu sat next to Li Yuanying and asked what Li Yuanying was thinking.
Li Yuanying said: "This is given to me by my father." At that time, the Supreme Emperor loved him and was willing to give him any good things. One year on his birthday, the Supreme Emperor asked someone to move the iron tree to their yard, and ordered people to put gunpowder into the mechanism and ignite it. For a while, the courtyard was illuminated by the flame. The tree was tall and big, and the leaves were all so bright The fireworks that illuminate the night sky are like a sacred tree that can only be found in the sky.
Li Yuanying was still young at the time, and only thought the tree was fun and beautiful, so he hugged the Emperor's leg to beg for it. The Taishanghuang laughed and said, "Someone moved them here, so why not give it to you." But the Taishanghuang died of illness in the second year, and he never asked anyone to light the fire tree again.
Li Yuanying told Wei Shu the origin of the fire tree.
Wei Shu held Li Yuanying's hand.
No matter what kind of emperor or person the Taishanghuang is, he is always good to Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying said: "I originally wanted to ask someone to imitate a few fire trees like this, and put them in front of the palace to be lively and lively, but after a closer look, it is really not easy to build these fire trees. Now Tengzhou requires people to cultivate land and build roads. How can I spend so much manpower to do this kind of thing that is just for fun." He held Wei Shu's hand back, "Brother Huang, they live more frugally than many noble families, and they can't compare with the Sui Dynasty. I think that might be the reason.”
Because we all want to use people and money in more useful places, we don't want these extravagant and window-dressing things if we can.
Wei Shu said: "A sage is a wise king."
Li Yuanying nodded. He struggled for a while, and discussed with Wei Shu: "I don't want to make a lot, just make two. If it is done well, it will last for a long time. You see, this tree was built at any time, and it has not broken for decades. So we can order it when we get married, we can also order it during the New Year and holidays, and we can still order it when our children get married in the future, so it’s not a loss, right!”
Wei Shu said: "If you want to do it, no one will object." For Li Yuanying, this fire tree is not only a decoration to make their wedding day more lively, but also a memorial to the Supreme Emperor. She does not want Li Yuanying to have any regrets.
With Wei Shu's support, Li Yuanying finally didn't hesitate, and excitedly took the blueprints and asked Dong Xiaoyi to find a group of skillful craftsmen to make the fire tree.
On Li Yuanying's side, Zhang Luo was very happy, and His Majesty Li Er also received a letter from Li Yuanying showing off his wife. Seeing that Wei Shu guessed their wedding date quite accurately, His Majesty Li Er felt that the princess Li Yuanying was really smart, and wondered if Li Yuanying would suffer in the future.
But Li Yuanying's temper of wanting to mess around all day long, it's better to have a smarter princess tied to him, lest he go to the sky.
Now that Wei Shu had figured it out, His Majesty Li Er didn't hold back and told Wei Zheng about it, and asked Wei Zheng if he was in good health, and if he could go to Mount Tai together next year.
Wei Zheng had always been the leader who prevented His Majesty Li Er from going to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, so he could hear a bit of embarrassment from His Majesty Li Er's questioning. Wei Zheng said without changing his face: "This minister can still eat two big bowls of rice."
It means that he is physically tough.
Wei Zheng has never been a big believer in the theory of the destiny of gods, ghosts, and decrees. He thinks that conferring Zen on Mount Tai is just a cosmetic project, and it is really a waste of people and money to mobilize teachers and people to travel eastward from Chang'an. Moreover, if this is the beginning, the latecomers will inevitably want to follow suit, and at that time there will be a regulation that wastes money and people, and it will always be the people who suffer.
When the Qin Dynasty ruled the world, Qin Shihuang made more than a dozen tours to the east, which cost a lot of money and caused complaints from the people. Public grievances are the root of the chaos in the world, and Wei Zheng doesn't want His Majesty Li Er to make a bad start.
But now that His Majesty Li Er has already decided to go to Mount Tai, and Li Yuanying, a fool, has built a flat and straight road, so Wei Zheng has no reason to stop him.
If someone can build such a road without spending money from the court and making the people suffer, let alone want to go to Mount Tai, even if His Majesty Li Er wants to go to Yazhou and Jiaozhou, it will be fine!
So even if His Majesty Li Er deliberately ran on, Wei Zheng would not have heard it. His beloved granddaughter is going to get married, how could he not follow? He also had the cheek to climb Mount Tai once!
His Majesty Li Er didn't make things difficult for Wei Zheng, and finalized the accompanying list one after another. Wei Zheng knew the date of Li Yuanying's marriage, so Changsun Wuji and others also knew about it.
After Fang Xuanling returned home, she raised an eyebrow with Lu Shi, and Lu Shi started to sulk again.
Lu Zhaolin married Gao Yang last year, and the two got married happily, without any bad rumors.
However, the two nieces she had in mind were married to others, and Fang Jun had no fate with them! And some time ago, she didn't watch her son for a while, and let the foxy girl outside hook Fang Jun away, but she was very angry. Why are one or two of these guys married, but her precious son is missing
Mrs. Lu complained about Fang Xuanling again, complaining that he acted as a matchmaker for Lu Zhaolin, now it's all over, Gao Yang is married, but their son is not married, and they are always laughed at when they go out!
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to listen honestly to Lu Shi.
Compared with Changan's people who have their own ideas, Tengzhou's reaction is more consistent. They are very happy to hear that the wedding date has been set, and they are actively preparing for Li Yuanying and Wei Shu's marriage.
Even if His Majesty Li Er would send a ceremony officer over to make preparations, they still didn't intend to sit and wait. The preparations in Chang'an are Chang'an's business, so how can Tengzhou's own preparations be the same
All of a sudden the whole Tengzhou became lively.
Wei Ying was ordered by his parents to buy a small house in the city, and took Wei Shu out of the palace. It's fine if you haven't set a wedding date, and it's not good to live directly in the palace if you set a wedding date. Could it be possible to marry directly from the palace on the wedding day? No matter how infamous the Wei family was, they couldn't lose face like that.
At the end of the three-month period, Li Yuanying returned to the city from the pilot county, and quickly ran to the house where the brothers and sisters of the Wei family stayed. He was very dissatisfied with the size of the house, and whispered to Wei Shu: "It's so small, how can you get used to it? We won't get married for half a year."
Wei Shu said: "Our house in Chang'an is also so small." In Chang'an, every inch of land is expensive, and many people can't afford a house in their entire lives. They can buy it because of Wei Zheng's face.
Li Yuanying recalled that the Wei family's residence had always been so shabby. This is something that can't be helped. Who told Wei Zheng to be an upright official and an admonishing minister? If he can't be upright, diligent and thrifty, it won't be so effective to persuade Majesty Li Er to come down, and maybe someone will catch him and pull him down!
Li Yuanying said: "If I am an official, I must be a corrupt official, not your grandfather."
Wei Shu could only act as if she couldn't hear it. It was the first time she had heard someone say that she wanted to be a corrupt official.
Thanks to the fact that Li Yuanying has so much money that he can't spend it all, and even if he has no money, he still has a way to be a white wolf, otherwise Wei Shu would really worry that he would do those things that wantonly make money!
Li Yuanying criticized the Wei family's small house inside and out, knowing that he couldn't bring Wei Shu back, so he could only reluctantly accept this reality, and dragged Wei Shu for a long conversation before reluctantly leaving.
With the blueprint in hand, the imitation of the fire tree went smoothly. A group of craftsmen worked hard for several months, and finally made it before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Li Yuanying asked Sun Simiao, who had just returned from Chang'an, to help prepare some gunpowder, and first put the fire tree by the small lake in the palace for trial combustion.
It is dangerous to use gunpowder. Li Yuanying was invited by the guards to wait at the small pavilion near the lake, and they were responsible for lighting the fire tree.
The night quickly covered the entire Prince Teng Mansion, Li Yuanying asked people to turn off many lights, and dragged Wei Shu to sit in the pavilion and waited for the tree of fire to be lit. After the guards cleared the surrounding area, with an order, the fire igniters standing beside the two fire trees lit the fuses at the same time.
The two fire trees suddenly burst into a tree of light, and the slender fireworks decorated their bare branches beautifully.
There is a distance between the small pavilion near the lake and the fire tree, but it is better to see the whole picture of the fire tree. Li Yuanying took Wei Shu's hand and walked to the pavilion, looking at the beautiful fireworks that only existed in memory.
The reason why the father loves him and dotes on him is because he is the youngest son, and also because there is no need to expect anything from him. When he was born, his father just moved to Da'an Palace, formally away from the center of power, and only became an overlord who only needs to hug beauties to enjoy himself every day. So he was born at a very timely time, even if all the brothers may have thoughts that they shouldn't have, only he will not, because he has never seen his father when he was in power.
They looked like ordinary father and son in the world.
People's hearts are fleshy, even if at the beginning it's just being hugged to amuse them from time to time, after getting along for a long time, they will still develop true feelings.
At that time, what their father needed most was time, and he would play with him for a while almost every day.
When he was most naughty, he could even sit on his father's neck and ride his father like a horse.
As he got older, Li Yuanying gradually realized that he was just one of the twenty-two sons of his father, and even more that he was just one of the many brothers of the emperor. He was not very special, not outstanding, and not very talented. ability.
If it wasn't for the accidental chance, he might just stay in the palace and grow up honestly, and when he was old, he would take his mother to fief the land and become an ordinary vassal king.
Li Yuanying held Wei Shu's hand tightly and said, "We are getting married, Father will be very happy when he finds out."
Wei Shu had never seen the Supreme Emperor before, so she nodded after listening to Li Yuanying's words, and quietly stood beside Li Yuanying watching the fireworks.
It is impossible to fill a fire tree with too much gunpowder, no matter how beautiful it is, it will always burn out. When the gunpowder in the mechanism is burned out, the bright fireworks will gradually go out, and there is only one bare tree left when viewed through the night. The iron tree is there.
Li Yuanying asked someone to pack it up and put it in front of the palace gate for the people to see when they got married. It was not in vain for so many craftsmen to work day and night.
Li Yuanying's side was sometimes happy and sometimes sad about the marriage, and Dai Ting and his party who were far away in Champo also received a letter from Li Yuanying announcing the good news. As for the little friend who followed him since childhood, Li Yuanying naturally didn't want him to be absent on the wedding day, so he specially asked someone to send a letter to Zhanpo as soon as possible, so that Dai Ting would not be late to return to Tengzhou.
After Dai Ting arrived in Champo, he was inquiring about rice seeds. Cham Po is not very big, so he quickly found the rice seeds he wanted, but there are not many rice seeds available in the market, and everyone has the habit of saving seeds in the past, so the only way to get a large number of rice seeds is to wait for the autumn harvest.
After the autumn harvest, he couldn't leave immediately, and had to wait for the rice seeds to dry before transporting them back, so Dai Ting temporarily found a place to live in Champa, and watched the abundant rice mature every day.
This time he doesn't care about the troubles, unless he provokes them or damages their rice seeds, he will not intervene in anything. After all, he has only one purpose for this trip: to take Champa's high-yielding rice seeds. Take it back to Tengzhou.
The climate here is hot, and it is still like summer after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people are shirtless when drying rice seeds.
Sitting in the thatched pavilion, Dai Ting read Li Yuanying's letter, got up and said to the left and right: "Collect the rice seeds as soon as possible, and we will leave for Tengzhou at the end of the month." Keep walking along the coast, and you have to guard against any accidents on the road.
They must rush back with the rice seeds, and must not miss Li Yuanying's marriage.
The author has something to say:
Little prince: I'm getting married! !
