Li Yuanying's anger came and went quickly, and he jumped around in high spirits every day, almost forgetting that he wrote a letter to scold His Majesty Li Er.
At this time, the courier had already sent the letter to Chang'an.
His Majesty Li Er took the time to open the letter after finishing his government affairs and began to read it. In the letter, Li Yuanying listed His Majesty Li Er's past history of robbing things, saying that it is not a good habit to be addicted to robbing, and asked His Majesty Li Er to give an explanation. Then he began to call His Majesty Li Er shameless in a different way, for being so pitiful and helpless to his weaker brother, he could see through the letter paper that Li Yuanying must have been very angry when he wrote the letter, so he almost ran back to Chang'an to scold him !
His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly, put the letter aside and ignored Li Yuanying's full of resentment. After a few days, he summoned the officials who had recently inspected Henan Province into the palace to ask questions, mainly asking what Li Yuanying was doing at the moment.
Knowing that Li Yuanying was active and busy the next day, and was still planning to send envoys in the name of the prince to invite neighboring countries to bring good things to the exhibition, His Majesty Li Er dismissed the inspectors and asked Chu Suiliang to come and draft an edict.
His Majesty Li Er is going to call Li Yuanying back to Beijing and ask Li Yuanying to assist the crown prince in organizing the World Expo. If it goes well, he and the crown prince can be allowed to prepare for the exhibition in different places every two years.
The Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and some things are not suitable for long-distance transportation. Developing them in different places will better show the beauty and richness of the various places in the Tang Dynasty. These ideas are all from Li Yuanying, and it is not out of the ordinary to let him and the prince go to various places to host this exhibition.
In this way, it can be regarded as allowing the prince to travel around and understand the people's livelihood and people's conditions in various places, so that he will not be blinded by everything.
When Chu Suiliang learned of His Majesty Li Er's thoughts, he was secretly surprised. If His Majesty Li Er wants to train the crown prince, then what's the matter with Li Yuanying? Unexpectedly, even though Li Yuanying was already far away from the capital, his weight in His Majesty Li Er's heart would not increase but decrease!
The imperial edict was sent to Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, both of them felt that it was inappropriate. The last time His Majesty Li Er recalled Li Ke and they made the court float, why recall Li Yuanying now? Li Yuanying is the youngest son of the Supreme Emperor, and his mother is just a Baolin. Even if all the princes and princes are exhausted, it is impossible for him to take the throne.
Changsun Wuji called Fang Xuanling to find His Majesty Li Er to discuss whether the edict should be issued.
His Majesty Li Er had expected that Changsun Wuji and the others would come to Zhongshu as soon as the decree came, and asked people to sort out Li Yuanying's deeds after he arrived in Tengzhou for Zhangsun Wuji and the others to see.
Facts have proved that after Li Yuanying arrived in Tengzhou, the city was expanded, the population increased, the roads were flat and spacious, and the port was built for him. What's even more rare is that Li Yuanying did not relax the farming work when doing these things, and would go to the field to encourage farming and mulberry every year. "Qi Min Yao Shu" has introduced some new agricultural tools that are of great use to Henan Province, greatly saving manpower and animal power, and the long-term crop selection and breeding has also ensured the grain harvest.
Don't look at the nonsense part, Li Yuanying is a person who can do big things no matter how you look at it, but his temperament is relatively eccentric and needs to be tempered. Seeing that the land in Tengzhou is no longer enough for him to move around, shouldn't he be put in a more suitable place
His Majesty Li Er earnestly said: "Maybe if you let him go to other places to see, he will also repair the roads in other places without the court paying for it."
Even if Changsun Wuji doesn't care about the court's purse, he is a little moved when he hears this statement. It's really good to be able to build roads everywhere without the court's money! Moreover, it will be of great benefit to the prince to preside over the matter and be co-organized by Li Yuanying. The prince will be more popular and the succession will be smoother in the future.
As for Fang Xuanling, he must have been persuaded by His Majesty Li Er, after all, he is the most worrying about the court's lack of money!
Fang Xuanling immediately changed his words: "Your Majesty is wise."
After passing the Zhongshu pass, the imperial edict was sent to Menxia province. Menxia Province has always been governed by Wei Zheng, and now there is an extra Chu Suiliang. The first feeling of the two people seeing this decree was the same as that of Changsun Wuji and the others: what does His Majesty Li Er want to do
When it came to his grandson-in-law, Wei Zheng frowned. Looking at the three signatures above, he felt that His Majesty Li Er and the others were digging a hole for Li Yuanying to jump. And Wei Zheng knew very well that even if it was a big hole, Li Yuanying would happily jump into it!
One must know that Li Yuanying is restless, and he would not know how happy he would be to let him run around.
Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang went to His Majesty Li Er again to discuss this purpose. To Wei Zheng, His Majesty Li Er didn't say the rhetoric of "Let Li Yuanying find a way to build the road without spending a penny from the court", for fear that Wei Zheng would spray him and want to empty Yaodi's pocket.
His Majesty Li Er sighed and told Wei Zheng that he didn't want to hold exhibitions in two places at the same time. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanying scolded him in a letter after he knew about it. After thinking about it, he felt that it would be unreasonable not to hold an exhibition for Li Yuanying, so he came up with the idea of holding exhibitions in turn.
Li Yuanying, the person who came up with the idea, couldn't be absent from the first World Expo, right? That's why he asked Li Yuanying to come back to co-organize it. As for letting Li Yuanying and the prince go to various places to host the World Expo in the future, of course it is to train them!
His Majesty Li Er spoke with sincerity, and even Li Yuanying's eloquent and scolding letter of thousands of words was used as a testimony, and even Wei Zheng couldn't find any problems. If Li Yuanying was here, he must rush to agree, and he would definitely not be unwilling in the slightest.
For a person like Li Yuanying who is extremely wild physically and mentally, being able to play around is the most attractive thing in the world to him!
Wei Zheng sighed in his heart, didn't say any more, went back and signed his name on it, and asked someone to send the edict to Tengzhou according to His Majesty Li Er's wishes.
Li Yuanying had a very happy life recently, the envoys had all set off, and when they came back, they might bring back missions from various countries. At that time, he will be able to sit in the mansion and play all the fun things and taste the delicious food from all over the world, just think about it and be happy!
When the edict came to Tengzhou, Li Yuanying still felt a little confused. It was not very formal for His Majesty Li Er to send edicts and letters before, but this time he looked very serious, which made Li Yuanying feel that his shameless imperial brother was trying to trick him!
Li Yuanying accepted the order with great vigilance, and after listening to the beautiful words for a long time, he realized the key point: Although His Majesty Li Er did not allow him to hold the World Expo in Tengzhou this year, he will be allowed to do it in the future. Moreover, His Majesty Li Er called him back to Beijing to co-organize this World Expo, and let him and the prince preside over it in various places in the future!
Li Yuanying's eyes lit up, and he still didn't quite believe the order, so he pulled Wei Shu and the others and asked, "Brother Huang means that I can play everywhere, right? Does it mean that I can play wherever I want?"
Wei Shu and the others nodded. This decree took them by surprise. After all, the vassal king may only stay in the fief for the rest of his life. His Majesty Li Er's decree is equivalent to allowing Li Yuanying to walk around!
In fact, many people are reluctant to travel far these days because the road conditions are uneven and there may be bandits, but Li Yuanying is different. It is torture for him to keep him bored in one place, otherwise he would not hold back He couldn't help secretly following Li Dejian and the others to sea.
Nothing pleases him more than being allowed to run around.
Li Yuanying was really overjoyed, and immediately changed His Majesty Li Er from "the bastard emperor brother" to "the best emperor brother in the world".
At night, Li Yuanying still couldn't sleep, so he pulled Wei Shu and asked her if she would like to go with him. The academy gradually cultivated a lot of useful talents, and Wu Mei gradually withdrew from the affairs of the academy and only made important decisions. Shu didn't have to hang around the academy all the time.
Wei Shu and Wu Mei are somewhat different. Wu Mei is very ambitious and is basically developing towards the position of governor. Wei Shu is more inclined to engage in academic research. She has loved calligraphy since she was a child, and she is also in charge of the women's college and calligraphy in the academy.
Li Yuanying felt that in time, Wei Shu's achievements in calligraphy may not be worse than Chu Suiliang and the others. He happily imagined the future with Wei Shu: "We went to various places to search for calligraphy, paintings and inscription murals. You learn calligraphy, and I learn painting. In the future, my All the paintings are inscribed by you, so that future generations will know that we are very good!" As for troublesome things, let others do it! Mentioning this Li Yuanying felt a little regretful, "If only we were born a hundred and eighty years earlier, many calligraphy and paintings have not been destroyed."
Wei Shu nodded.
In the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the end of the Sui Dynasty, calligraphy and painting suffered three catastrophes. One was that Emperor Liang Yuan burned all his collections with a fire in order to prevent his collection of books, calligraphy and paintings from falling into the enemy's hands; the other two were Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and His Majesty Li Er While transporting treasures of calligraphy and painting by boat, the whole ship sank, and many authentic works were not rescued.
Those are unique babies!
Li Yuanying wanted to take her to various places to search for authentic calligraphy and paintings and inscriptions and murals. Of course she was willing to go. I don't know if these treasures will suffer from natural or man-made disasters in the future. It would be good for them to see with their own eyes.
Wei Shu said: "Grandfather also wrote a letter, saying that it will not be easy to hold this World Expo in various places. Not every place has the convenience of transportation like Tengzhou. When the time comes, both land and waterways will have to be repaired. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. .”
This task is likely to fall on Li Yuanying's head.
Li Yuanying is not worried at all: "We can think about these later, and we will talk about it first!" Anyway, his brother is shameless, and it is not a day or two. It doesn't matter if he is asked to give money and ideas. Money to buy a qualification to go out to play.
Li Yuanying discussed with Wei Shu all night, and called Wu Mei and others for a small meeting the next day. Tengzhou is his fief and his foundation, even if he wants to run around, Tengzhou can't relax! Li Yuanying distributed various affairs to Wu Mei and the others according to his personal wishes, and asked them to stick to the rear and firmly control the harbor, a place where golden eggs can be born.
It is said that there is no doubt about employing people, and Li Yuanying's decentralization of power is really decentralization, giving Wu Mei and the others enough authority to do things cheaply, and the whole Tengzhou and even the seaport are entrusted to them.
The news that Li Yuanying was going back to Beijing quickly spread in Tengzhou, and the first feeling of the people in Tengzhou was reluctance. After Li Yuanying came to Tengzhou, their life got better and better, and their life became lively, and they felt full of motivation every day. Now that Li Yuanying is going back to Chang'an, and he won't come back so soon, how could they be willing
Even those powerful and wealthy households who were slaughtered by Li Yuanying from time to time felt that the news came too suddenly. Although they always gathered behind the scenes to criticize Li Yuanying, once Li Yuanying left, who would give them a new reason to spend money? With money in their hands and no place to spend it, it is actually quite lonely. The process of throwing money away is so refreshing and enjoyable. Now that Li Yuanying is gone, they may not have the new joy of throwing money fancy for a long time!
For a while, everyone in Tengzhou was talking about Li Yuanying's return to Chang'an, no matter whether they were traffickers or dignitaries, they were not very willing for Li Yuanying to leave. On the day when Li Yuanying was about to leave, the people spontaneously lined the road to see each other off, and many brave little ladies rushed forward to send flowers to Li Yuanying, making Li Yuanying's car as colorful as the day of the wedding.
Li Yuanying didn't expect that he was so loved by others, and he was so moved. He stopped riding in the car, pulled Wei Shu out of the car, and called someone to bring the horse over. The couple got on the horse together and waved goodbye to the people along the way.
After going all the way out of Tengzhou city, the number of people gradually decreased. Li Yuanying and Wei Shu rode side by side, admiring the green fields along the way. They were in a great mood, and the whole person was also very excited, saying that his brother is really wise and powerful.
Wei Shu also laughed when he heard him praise His Majesty Li Er all the way.
The two brothers have the same temper. Sometimes they praise each other to the sky, and sometimes they think that each other is terribly bad!
The author has something to say:
Little prince: Today's brother is a good brother!
