Mount Li is not far from Chang'an City, and it didn't take long for the imperial driver to drive to Tangquan.
Due to the continuous wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the empty treasury of the Tang Dynasty, even though the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty Li Er would come to play from time to time, the Lishan Palace has not been repaired on a large scale, and it looks dilapidated.
Because His Majesty Li Er was so angry just two days ago, Li Yuanying was very well-behaved all the way and didn't make trouble at all.
His Majesty Li Er had eaten with his entourage, and after nightfall he took a few close ministers to soak in the hot spring.
The Tangquan in Lishan Mountain is one of the best in the world. The imperial physicians said that the natural hot spring pool there is good for recuperating the body. His Majesty Li Er has been enduring the pain caused by the recurrence of the old disease for the past few days. After sitting in the Tangquan, he finally relaxes. down.
Li Yuanying stayed with Li Zhi and the others.
The night was so fine, Li Yuanying felt that it was a bit boring to just soak in hot springs, so he simply started telling ghost stories to Li Zhi and the others.
Storytelling is Li Yuanying's specialty. He doesn't tell the educative ghost stories in books, but only picks the ones he usually asks his subordinates to collect, all of which are very down-to-earth and close to life.
Li Zhi still hangs out with Li Yuanying a lot, and he is quite stable. The other princes who came to Lishan to soak in the hot spring with Yujia have no resistance at all. With one hand, I felt that the palace people who waited on the left and right would turn into monsters.
As Li Yuanying became more and more horrified, the little radish heads finally couldn't hold on, and crawled up from the soup spring, crying "Father Emperor", and went looking for Majesty Li Er with his bare buttocks.
Li Yuanying managed to scare away a group of friends, he was so happy, he leaned on the stone bank and said to Li Zhi: "Once they leave, we will have a lot more space to soak in!"
Li Zhi was speechless.
After a while, Li Zhicai said, "Be careful that they sue the emperor."
Li Yuanying said: "They themselves are timid, don't blame me! There is a saying, 'If you don't do anything wrong in your life, you won't be surprised if you knock on the door in the middle of the night'. Look, aren't we not afraid?"
Li Zhi was speechless for a while. He wasn't afraid, he had been frightened by Li Yuanying before and he was used to it.
Li Zhi asked strangely: "Where did you find so many strange stories?"
Li Yuanying said: "There is no shortage of stories in the palace. Do you know where the people serving you are from?"
Li Zhi was taken aback and shook his head.
Li Yuanying said: "I don't know either, but I know that they come from different places. There are many legends and stories in each of their hometowns, some of which are quite different, and some of which are similar. When I sleep, I have to ask the people around me to take turns telling me stories; because I like to listen, I gradually change to people who can tell stories around me; after their own stories are told, they will collect them by themselves in order to stay near me and serve them. Tell me other people's stories. In this way, I will know all the legends and stories from all over the world!"
Although Li Yuanying had a notorious reputation, he was known as the Little Demon King of the Confused World, but he was easy and smooth working in front of him. Many people were envious of Dai Ting, who had taken a place by his side early on.
Li Zhi thought for a while, and said: "This is 'what is good at the top, what is good at the bottom'. King Ling of Chu has a thin waist, so the scholars endured hunger and hunger, so thin that they needed to lean on the wall to stand up; Wen Gong likes plain and simple, so the scholars often wear simple clothes, and they are very economical in food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Li Yuanying was impatient with these great principles, and instead of answering Li Zhi's words, she turned around and dozed off on the rocky bank instead.
Li Zhi was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he poked him and said, "Don't fall asleep, the imperial doctor said that although the soup spring is good, you can't soak it for too long."
Li Yuanying yawned and said, "Okay, okay, stop soaking, go back to sleep!" He was indeed a little sleepy, so he put on the underwear brought by the little maid and went back to the room barefoot to sleep.
Li Zhi didn't expect Li Yuanying to be so straightforward, he really left as soon as he said it, and after being dumbfounded for a while, he put on his underwear and went back to his room.
He didn't feel much about having Li Yuanying around just now, but as soon as Li Yuanying left, the ghost stories that this guy just told flooded into Li Zhi's mind. It's scary!
Li Zhi ran back to his room quickly, recited a section of "Tao Te Ching" in his heart for a while, and recited a section of "Heart Sutra" in his heart for a while, forcing himself not to think about it.
On the other side, His Majesty Li Er was talking with Changsun Wuji when several naked sons ran over with frightened expressions on their faces.
His Majesty Li Er asked, only to realize that Li Yuanying was acting as a demon again, so he didn't bother to get angry at all, and let his sons huddle together to soak in the hot spring.
A group of people walked back after soaking, His Majesty Li Er called the people below to inquire, and soon found out that Li Yuanying had already gone back and fell asleep.
After this kid scares others, he is not afraid at all, and sleeps soundly!
…
In the early morning of the second day, Li Yuanying copied a few poems from the "Book of Songs" to let His Majesty Li Er appreciate whether his writing would be of great benefit.
His Majesty Li Er took a look and found that Li Yuanying had really achieved some results in his handwriting practice, and his handwriting looked much better than the previous ghost-painted symbols.
His Majesty Li Er nodded in satisfaction: "It's not bad, it can be seen that he has worked hard."
Li Yuanying took advantage of the opportunity and told His Majesty Li Er what he had discussed with his eldest nephew: "Chengqian sent people to inquire for several days, and finally found out that the old doctor Sun happened to be treating people in the Lishan area in the past two months. He took out the token that Li Chengqian gave him and showed it to His Majesty Li Er, "Since the imperial doctor can't do anything about your old illness, Brother Emperor, Chengqian and I want to invite the old genius doctor Sun to show you!"
His Majesty Li Er was not surprised that Li Yuanying would tell Li Chengqian the last conversation between the two of them, and there was no change on his face.
His Majesty Li Er has always been satisfied with Li Chengqian's son and the prince, but he has never thought of a way to deal with this son's rebellion in recent years. He is the king of a country and the patriarch of the Li family, so it is impossible for him to say too many soft words to his children, especially the prince.
Seeing that Li Yuanying was getting close to him recently, His Majesty Li Er wanted to let Li Yuanying be a messenger and convey some things he wanted to tell this son.
Li Yuanying didn't know His Majesty Li Er's thoughts. Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was not moved, he just felt that his brother was really hard-hearted, and he didn't show any emotion.
Li Yuanying could only express his feelings on behalf of His Majesty Li Er: "This child Chengqian is so filial! Knowing that you are plagued by old diseases, he can't sleep at night!"
His Majesty Li Er couldn't hold back the indifferent expression on his face when he heard him say "Chengqian kid" from such a puny man, so he raised his hand and knocked on Li Yuanying's forehead.
Li Yuanying felt that he was going to be fooled by His Majesty Li Er.
He ignored His Majesty Li Er, and took the two guards seconded by His Majesty Li Er to his side to find Li Dejian who accompanied him to Mount Li.
Li Dejian made friends with Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian asked his subordinates to inform Li Dejian of Sun Simiao's whereabouts, and asked Li Dejian to take Li Yuanying to find the old genius doctor.
Knowing that Li Yuanying had made peace with His Majesty Li Er, Li Dejian asked for leave and took Li Yuanying out of the palace to visit Sun Simiao in a nearby village.
It has been more than 20 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the pain caused by the war has gradually subsided. The fields around the Lishan Palace have returned to their previous peaceful appearance, and they are full of vitality after the spring.
Li Yuanying seldom walked in the fields, and felt that everything was very fresh. He stopped from time to time to see how the farmers drove the cattle to plow the ground, and how the dragonflies tentatively landed on the young green seedlings.
Seeing Li Yuanying's appearance like this, Li Dejian didn't rush him, and let him stop and go, walking slowly to the village.
Before approaching, Li Yuanying saw an old tree at the head of the village that could only be hugged by several people. At this time, there was the sound of reading aloud under the whirling old tree, and if you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear something like "the heaven and the earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric".
This is also what Li Yuanying learned when he was first enlightened. The full text is composed of nearly a thousand different commonly used characters, which can not only help beginners recognize characters, but also compile many principles and allusions into it.
Li Yuanying walked over curiously to have a look, and found that standing under the tree was a young man who was about the same age as Li Zhi, about eleven or twelve years old, holding a scroll in his hand and teaching several children who were neatly sitting under the tree.
Some of them brought a cattail mat, and some sat directly on the ground. They were around ten years old, and all of them stood up straight and listened to the young man's articulate words.
Li Yuanying thought it was really strange, how could such a ten-year-old boy become a wife
The boy didn't notice that Li Yuanying and the others approached from a distance, he took a piece of black charcoal and wrote words on the tree for his companions to watch and learn. There was a small stream beside it, and every time he taught a character, the boy would wash the characters with water and write other characters.
Li Yuanying stopped to watch for a while, and then the young man noticed the arrival of their group, stopped to explain, stepped forward and asked, "A few guests came to our Tangjia Village for business?"
The village boys sitting under the tree all looked at Li Yuanying and the others curiously, thinking that Li Yuanying's clothes were very expensive, and the guards around him were also very elegant.
Li Yuanying respectfully cupped his hands and saluted the young man in charge, without concealing anything, he said straight to the point: "I'm here to look for the old doctor Sun, the elders in the family are sick, and I want to ask the old doctor Sun to take a look at it for him."
The young man said: "That's a coincidence. If it's a few days later, old doctor Sun won't be here with us." After finishing speaking, he asked the others to recite the words he taught just now, and personally led Li Yuanying and his party into the village.
Li Yuanying had a good impression of this young man, and directly reported his family name: "My surname is Li, and my name is Yuanying. You can call me by my first name. What's your name?"
Li is a common surname in Longyou, and there are Li family members everywhere, the young man didn't think much about it, he only felt that Li Yuanying might be the son of some powerful family.
The young man replied neither humble nor overbearing: "My surname is Tang, and my single name is Yi. I haven't chosen a character yet, so you can also call me 'A Zhen'."
Li Yuanying nodded, and took advantage of the situation to ask what Tang Su was doing just now.
Tang Sui told Li Yuanying that his family was better off than others in the village, and they were willing to send him to study. He thinks that although the fellows in the village are poor and cannot afford to read, it is good to be able to read a few characters. A few wages.
So Tang Sui always took advantage of the rest to teach a few words to his fellow villagers.
He has already taught most of the "Thousand-Character Essay" and he has memorized the Thousand-Character Essay more firmly. It is beneficial to others and himself!
Li Yuanying said: "You are really amazing."
Tang Xuan shook his head and said, "It's just doing what I can."
Li Yuanying praised from the bottom of his heart: "It's something that everyone can do, but not everyone is willing to do it. You are amazing."
Such a straightforward compliment made Tang Yan blush a little. He smiled shyly, pointed to a simple farmhouse in front of him and said, "Old genius doctor Sun lives here, and recently he is teaching the villagers to gather herbs."
There are many mountains and forests around, and medicinal materials grow well. Learning to collect medicinal materials is a very good new project for the villagers, so the villagers gather in that farmhouse every day to learn how to identify medicinal materials, how to collect and dry them. The medicinal properties are not damaged in the process of medicinal materials, so Sun Simiao said in the past two days that he would go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs so that it would be calmer.
Tang Sui and Li Yuanying talked about these things, and added: "Old Sun also went into the mountain yesterday, I don't know if he has come back, if not, you may have to wait."
Li Yuanying said straightforwardly: "I can wait."
Tang Xuan nodded, and stepped forward to help Li Yuanying knock on the door.
Even after knocking a few times, no one answered.
Tang Xuan turned his head to look at Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying was not disappointed, instead he said to Tang Zhen enthusiastically: "Since the old genius doctor Sun has not come back, let's go back to that big tree, and I will teach them for you!" He boasted to Tang Zhen, "I have already I finished studying "The Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Rites", and recently I am studying "The Book of Songs", so I can teach them to read 'Wuyi'!"
As for the fact that the "Book of Songs" was copied by his imperial brother just a few days ago, Li Yuanying is determined not to mention half a sentence~
Tang Sui had already seen that Li Yuanying was from a noble family, and seeing that Li Yuanying was a few years younger than himself but had already read so many books, he was greatly admired, and immediately took Li Yuanying to the village with joy to teach his fellow villagers to practice calligraphy and recite poems.
Although Li Yuanying had never taught anyone seriously, he had a wealth of experience in pretending to be a teacher, and he taught a group of village youths who were thirsty for knowledge and devoted themselves to learning. He taught "No Clothes" very smoothly.
So Sun Simiao came back from the mountain with a medicine basket on his back, and heard a loud and clear chant from the entrance of the village: "Does it mean that you have no clothes? You are in the same robe as your son. Master Wang Yuxing, repair my spear..."
Sun Simiao stopped to look, and saw a group of children sitting or standing under the big tree surrounded by several people, reciting in unison.
Among the two standing children, one was Tang Sui whom Sun Simiao had remembered long ago, he was a very good boy; the other was someone Sun Simiao had never seen before. When I looked closely, I saw that he had red lips, white teeth, and handsome features. , really born with a good appearance!
What's even more strange is that this kid is clearly dressed luxuriously and has a proud face. He should be out of tune with this mountain and village scene, yet he stands in front of the group of village boys with his hands behind his back. Mr. Man's momentum.
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: It is impossible to wait for others, wait for me to play first!
