Living leisurely in Tang Dynasty

Chapter 63

Views:

Hou Junji has been enjoying the spring breeze recently, and he walks like a float.

Who can conquer a country without a single soldier like him

As a result, His Majesty Li Er hadn't formally banqueted the officials, and the memorials like snowflakes were thrown at him at the court meeting. The central idea of these memorials was very consistent: Lao Hou didn't do it properly. Fear of catastrophe in the future!

This was still a polite remark, while others pointed at Hou Junji's nose and cursed. It is not the case that military generals are oppressed and scolded by civil servants at court meetings. After all, military generals are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of verbal and verbal warfare.

At first, Hou Junji thought that the people who participated in him were joking, but he has made great achievements, so it's fine if he doesn't ask for a reward for him, why are he still scolding him? As a result, more and more people came forward to criticize him, and Hou Junji realized that these people were serious.

Hou Junji was furious.

These bird literati, I have never seen them take half a human head during the war, and they do it one after another when they are dictating! Good soldiers are all fighting for military merits with their lives, and they didn't search your family's wealth or rob your daughter, so why can't they get some benefits after the city is broken? You want the cow to work, but you don't want the cow to graze, can you do it

Hou Junji was filled with evil fire when he heard it, but his speech was very clumsy, and he couldn't show the posture of fighting all the heroes to dismiss all these people.

After the court meeting, Hou Junji went to find His Majesty Li Er to express his grievances.

His Majesty Li Er was somewhat persuaded by the civil servants, and also felt that Hou Junji did not behave properly. But Hou Junji led the army on a long journey to frighten Gaochang, His Majesty Li Er remembered his merit in his heart, so he comforted Hou Junji a few words, let Hou Junji go back and stay at ease.

Hou Junji saw that His Majesty Li Er was a bit biased towards civil servants, and he felt very depressed. He was out of the palace that day and was not going well, so he threw a whip at the shopkeeper who accidentally blocked his way.

The small trader didn't dare to pursue the matter, he dragged the basket and scrambled to the side in embarrassment, the whip marks on his arm were so deep that blood could be seen.

All the people were silent and did not dare to speak, they silently watched Hou Jun collect his whips and leave. Among the crowd was a half-grown boy, about ten years old, with delicate features, and he seemed to be from a good family. He was being covered by the old servant beside him, wanting to speak, and the old servant didn't let go until Hou Junji was gone.

This young man is from Taiyuan. His surname is Di and his name is Renjie. He came to Chang'an with his father to join his grandfather who was an official in the court. I saw the scene where Hou Junji was whipping people.

Di Renjie was an enthusiastic young man, and he wanted to rush up to stop Hou Junji's theory on the spot. Fortunately, the old servant beside him had watched him grow up and knew his temperament very well, so he immediately grabbed him and covered his mouth to prevent him from showing his head. There are princes and lords everywhere at the foot of Chang'an, and they are all masters who are not easy to mess with. How can they be offended by a family of petty officials like them

Hou Junji had gone far away, so Di Renjie naturally couldn't catch up. He stepped forward to help the distressed peddler, and said, "I heard that there is a medical center in West City. I'll take you there to get some medicine!"

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, the shopkeeper was very grateful, and followed him to the West Market. When I entered the West Market and asked, everyone said that the best medical center was the Qianjin Hall, where Sun Simiao, an old genius doctor, was in charge. Di Renjie and the old servant led the shopkeeper straight to the Qianjin Hall, and soon saw the library where many people were queuing up.

After sending the person into the hospital, Di Renjie ran out to look at the fresh place next to him. When I went outside, I saw a plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging in front of the gate of the library, with five big characters "Datang Library" written on it.

People from left and right watched him carefully look at the plaque, and immediately explained to him proudly: "These five words were written by His Majesty today!" Then they explained the rules of entering and leaving the library to Di Renjie again.

After hearing this, Di Renjie looked at the people in line, and felt that he still had a chance to get in, so he immediately got into the line without hesitation. The time in the queue was not boring. The people in front and behind saw his face, and told him a lot of anecdotes about the library. They also popularized the latest library newspaper with him, saying that he could go to the bulletin board when he came out. Take a look, they are all good articles and anecdotes carefully selected by the "Library Reading Club".

Di Renjie was fascinated when he heard it.

Although this Chang'an has the bullying thing just now, it also has such a new thing! He wished that the people inside would come out immediately, so that he could quickly go in and have a look!

Di Renjie knew a person he hadn't noticed before: King Teng.

This Prince Teng is His Majesty's youngest younger brother. After the Supreme Emperor passed away, he was still young, so he was brought by His Majesty's side to raise him. It is said that an elder brother is like a father, and now His Majesty obviously raised him as his own son, and would take him with him wherever he went. After King Teng vacated the library, His Majesty personally inscribed the plaque, and on the day it was opened to the public, several princes and daughters from the direct descendants were invited to watch the ceremony!

Some people praised King Teng’s move to benefit scholars all over the world, some people praised the deep love between His Majesty and King Teng’s brothers, and of course, some people mysteriously told the story of "King Mang lost his beauty in a word", saying that today’s reading club is that It was organized by a "very strong and talented person".

Di Renjie listened with gusto, and walked in after receiving the number plate, and unconsciously relaxed his steps.

There is nothing in this place, only books, and the shelves are full of books. It has been open for nearly a year, and there are not fewer books, but more books. Some books that have been read and worn out are carefully read Copy it again and put it back in place. Everyone who steps into the library consciously maintains this treasured place for readers. There are people under the bookshelves and beside the aisles who are reading mesmerizingly with books in their hands.

Di Renjie's family had no shortage of books since he was a child, but he was also shocked by the huge collection of books in this library. He walked around roughly, picked out a book and read it for a while, feeling more energetic than reading at home. Thinking that the old servant was still in the Qianjin Hall next door, Di Renjie didn't stay long. After reading a book, he put it back in its original place, returned the number plate and walked out of the library.

The old servant had already watched the peddler finish the medicine, and was waiting outside early. When he saw Di Renjie coming out, he said, "Mr. Lang, we have been out for a long time, so we should go back."

Di Renjie said: "I'll read the library newspaper first."

Di Renjie was tickled at the very beginning, so of course he would not agree to go back at this time, before the old servant agreed, he ran to the place where the newspaper was posted in the library and squeezed forward.

There was a circle of common people in front of the newspaper, and there were enthusiastic volunteers reading the newspaper to them. Today's volunteers are obviously on the battlefield for the first time, and they can't read very fluently, and they don't know how to explain to others in plain language. But the people asked a lot of questions, and this person gradually became proficient, explaining it to the people sentence by sentence.

Di Renjie also listened with great interest.

After Di Renjie finished reading the newspaper and dispersed with the crowd, he turned around to look for the old servant waiting for him outside, but saw a young man in brocade clothes jumping off the carriage and asked the apprentices in the Qianjin Hall to help him move things down. . He took a closer look, good guy, there are wine, decorations, medicinal materials, and such and other novelty gadgets, and the apprentices are moving them under the cart one by one, as if the cart is connected to a bottomless pit, and it seems that no matter how you move it, it can’t be finished. of!

This young man in brocade clothes is naturally Li Yuanying. He shared the good things with his friends for a round, and gave them to those who were worried about outside the palace the next day. Xiao Deyan gave them, Li Xiaoyuanqiu gave them, and sister Shu gave them away. Now it's his turn. Sun Simiao is here.

In Li Yuanying's future plan, the old genius doctor Sun is very important, and he has to win over him well.

Li Yuanying's method of enticing people is simple and rude, if he has any good things, he will send them in front of them!

No, he brought a carriage of treasures to give to Sun Simiao, some of which were good wines and good things that everyone liked, and some were unique medicinal materials reserved for Sun Simiao alone. Li Yuanying was about to go inside and talk to Sun Simiao about where these treasures came from, when he looked up, he also noticed Di Renjie who was staring at his "gifts" dumbfounded.

The two were about the same age, so Li Yuanying smiled at Di Renjie, revealing two very pleasant dimples, which looked very harmless. He picked up the remaining jar of wine in the car and invited Di Renjie: "This is the wine brought back from Gaochang. Have you ever drank it? Would you like to have a drink? Just a small glass, don't drink too much. Master Sun said that children should not drink too much alcohol, otherwise they will not grow taller!"

Di Renjie had also heard of Gaochang's wine, but Gaochang was far away, and the wine was transported endlessly. Most of the time, this wine was only sent to the palace as a tribute, and he had no chance to taste it. Hearing Li Yuanying's invitation, Di Renjie was very moved. He stepped forward and reported his family name: "My surname is Di, and my name is Renjie. I am ten years old and I haven't chosen my name yet. You can call me Renjie. How about you?"

When Li Yuanying heard that Di Renjie was also ten years old, he felt that the two of them were destined, so he gave his name like Di Renjie did: "My surname is Li, and my name is Yuan Ying. I am also ten years old this year. You can call me Yuan Ying."

When Di Renjie heard the name, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

If he couldn't think of it, he didn't think about it, and happily accepted the invitation to follow Li Yuanying into the room.

Li Yuanying greeted Sun Simiao, sat down with Di Renjie and introduced him to Sun Simiao, and reported Di Renjie's name to Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao nodded to Di Renjie, and then said to Li Yuanying: "You take all the valuable things back."

Li Yuanying retorted: "I didn't take any valuables, and none of them are as valuable as half a bottle in my room." The preciousness in the eyes of others is very different from the preciousness in Li Yuanying's eyes!

Sun Simiao looked at him helplessly.

Li Yuanying dug out the medicinal materials that Dai Ting had brought back from Gaochang and showed it to Sun Simiao.

The wonder of creation is always wonderful. Gaochang is hot and rainless all year round, but there are some rare medicinal materials that are difficult to find in the Central Plains. Of course Sun Simiao liked these things, seeing that Li Yuanying insisted on giving them, he didn't refuse, and asked someone to move all the things into the inner room and put them away properly.

After delivering the things to Sun Simiao, Li Yuanying unsealed the wine that he carried into the house, and asked someone to take out a set of white jade cups and put them on the table for Sun Simiao and Di Renjie to share the wine. This is indeed a high-quality wine in Gaochang. As soon as it is opened, you can smell the refreshing light fragrance. The deep red wine slowly flows into the jade cup as thin as a cicada's wings. The color is beautiful and very attractive.

Li Yuanying has learned a lot of how to drink Gaochang wine in the past two days, and pretended to be very understanding to remind Di Renjie and Sun Simiao: "The taste may be a bit harsh when it is just poured out, but it will taste better after a while." After a short period of time, Li Yuanying got in touch with his new friend Di Renjie and asked him if he was from Chang'an. Hearing that Di Renjie said no, he kept asking why Di Renjie came to Chang'an, when did he come, and did he encounter any interesting things on the way

Li Yuanying was so enthusiastic, of course Di Renjie would not hold back, and talked to Li Yuanying about his family's situation and all kinds of interesting things he encountered along the way. He was already very lively and active, he was born to be a young man who wanted to stand out in the face of injustice, and the two of them chatted very well.

Knowing that Di Renjie came from Taiyuan, Li Yuanying couldn't help sighing: "Your hometown sounds so fun, so I told you to let the pheasant slave go to the land earlier, so that I can go to Taiyuan to play!"

When Di Renjie heard this, he suddenly remembered why Li Yuanying's name was so familiar. Most of the sons of the late Supreme Emperor Li Yuan were of the "Yuan" generation, such as Li Yuanji, Li Yuanjing, Li Yuanheng, etc., but ordinary people seldom mentioned their names. So not many people know about it. Di Renjie knew this because his grandfather and father mentioned it by accident when they wrote letters, and he happened to have seen it a few times, so he had a little impression.

In this way, Li Yuanying is obviously the son of the Supreme Emperor.

Thinking about those people talking about King Teng just now, they said that King Teng also studied medicine with Sun Simiao, and Li Yuanying called Sun Simiao "Master Sun", Li Yuanying's identity was ready to be revealed!

Di Renjie said in surprise: "I didn't expect His Highness to be King Teng."

Li Yuanying didn't even think about concealing his identity, and readily admitted Di Renjie's deduction: "Yes, my emperor brother only sealed it to me last year." Get back the wine.

Di Renjie was still half a teenager, seeing that Li Yuanying didn't care much about his identity, he naturally didn't bother with this issue anymore, took a sip of the wine that Li Yuanying pushed in front of him, and began to savor it carefully.

Both of them were still young, not at the age to like to drink. Li Yuanying smacked his mouth and felt that it was not very special, but it was much better than what he had drunk before. He happily talked with his new friends about how he got the wine back, first how he chose Dai Ting to go to Gaochang with the army, and then how Dai Ting snatched food from Hou Junji's hands, and the whole process. There are ups and downs, there are thrills and dangers, hearing Di Renjie's heart is surging, and I wish I could go to Gaochang to experience it myself.

Little prince: I almost lost my full attendance, isn't it worth pouring nutrient solution to calm my shock! !
