Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 844: Brother and sister

Views:

Hua Xu, Fuxi, Nuwa, Huangdi, Yandi, Xia Yu, etc. were dug out from the bamboo slips by Li Hong's order. Whether it was the Imperial College, the Hongwen Hall, or the Chongwen Hall, they all took action against His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior. Somewhat inexplicable.

But just when people couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, some people thought that His Highness the Crown Prince had enlightened himself, and that he knew it was for the sake of ascending to the throne, and began to humbly learn the etiquette of the Chinese nation from scratch.

But in the East Palace, two sworn enemies, Xu Yanbo and Li Lingyue, were sitting in Li Hong's study room in Chongwen Hall where he received courtiers. There were three men and three women behind them. Li Hong's somewhat dissatisfied voice sounded in his ears: "Yes. Isn’t it a little short, just a few people? Can’t you get a hundred for me if you bring Xu Fu and everything?”

Xu Yanbo and Li Lingyue looked at each other. Although they had been competing with each other in the past two years, at this time, due to the orders of the Emperor and His Highness, the two had to give up their prejudices against each other and search for the Chinese nation together for Li Hong. All saints, celebrities and gods.

Because Li Hong's use for these people was to bring them all to the Japanese country, so that the Japanese royal family and the common people could worship them. Therefore, Xu Yanbo and Li Lingyue had already dug out everything they could.

"Back to Your Highness, this is quite a lot, including hundreds of schools of thought." Xu Yanbo looked at the list of names he had drawn up on the table, and Li Hong shook his head and sighed unsatisfiedly.

"That's right, that's enough. Xu Fudonghai has sought the magic of immortality, and now his father is almost worried about it. If you want to find someone else, you have to look for it from the Book of Mountains and Seas." Li Lingyue said with a small mouth.

After Li Hong ascended the throne, it was time for her to get married, so during this time, the relationship with Xu Yanbo had eased a little.

But just two days before Li Hong returned to Chang'an, "Fang Jian Tian Xia", which happened to be published, was greatly revised by Xu Yanbo. Especially the front page and the second page were completely transformed into the experience of the emperor's brother going on an expedition alone.

What makes Li Lingyue even more excited is that even if you give the front page and second page to the emperor's brother, that's it. After all, "Fang Jian Tian Xia" serves the imperial power, but your Xu Yanbo's words on the front page and second page , this flattery is too shameless!

Why did His Highness the Crown Prince go to the officialdom of Jiannan Road to investigate and handle cases in every detail, and even couldn't eat or sleep well? He almost became ill every day thinking about the food and clothing problem of the people of Jiannan Road, and in order to find out who was in Jiannan Road. In order to give the people of Jiannan Road a clear sky, he went to the tiger's den in order to give the people of Jiannan Road a clear sky. After a near-death experience, he finally overthrew the officialdom of Jiannan Road. The evil forces in Huanjian South Road have returned to peace for the people.

Such flattering words made Li Lingyue feel goosebumps all over her body and she was very angry!

Is this true? The fact is that Li Hong came back from a date with Wenwen in Jiannan Road, and now he is so angry that his best friend Shangguan Wan'er is still at home lamenting the fate of his beauty!

What else is there to say about His Highness the Crown Prince who went to Zhenla Kingdom to crusade against Zhenla Kingdom’s disrespect to the Tang Dynasty, especially its plundering of the people in the border areas of the Tang Dynasty? He fought with elephants with his bare hands and killed one with one punch. He used his bow and arrow to shoot through three elephants without looking. He played a vital role in inspiring the military morale of the Tang Dynasty soldiers. , it can be said that without the example of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there would not have been the glorious achievements that the Tang Dynasty has achieved in Zhenla Kingdom!

I bother! You, Xu Yanbo, are talking nonsense with your eyes open! Without waiting for a confrontation with the Zhenla Kingdom, he took a boat and went to his confidante Ye Yue at the Dashi Festival. When did he confront the Zhenla Kingdom? When King Zhenla was forced out of the palace to surrender by Liu Yanyou, Yuan Shuji, and Guo Shifeng, he, Li Hong, was probably in the Tanglou where he was feasting, having a good time and having a good time with the beauty in his arms!

Why didn’t Xu Yanbo talk about the honorable treatment he received when he was in Liuzhao? Why didn't he say that he was given many beauties and gold and silver treasures

It is also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince risked his life to go to Dashi alone. As the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness was willing to surrender his status and serve as the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. This paved the way for the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to trade between the east and the west, so that the merchants of the Tang Dynasty could Walk with confidence on the way to Dashi.

I'm going to blame you, Xu Yanbo, for being such a sycophant! Did he, Li Hong, lead a cautious, hell-like life in Dashi? Every day, he was worshiped like a parent by the nobles who feasted on him. Which nobleman rarely gave him gifts? Just look at the carloads of gifts, the beautiful gold coins, and the maids Yeyue brought back when he came back. This is where the sword cannot be seen, but it is more dangerous and cruel than the sword. Can it be obtained on the battlefield

But what makes Li Lingyue the most angry is Ye Yue. She only gave herself four food maids. Why did she give six to Bai Chun, and six to Pei Wanying? How come it became four when she came to her place? unfair!

Li Hong ignored Li Lingyue, who was still angry, and rubbed his painful temples. He had only stayed in Chang'an for a few days after returning from the fight, and he wanted to go out and stretch his muscles again.

"Have all the Taoists, Buddhists, Yin-Yang, Legalists... especially the Buddhists and Daoists been invited out?" Li Hong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's son came to Zhongnan Mountain yesterday. , suddenly thought of whether Taoism, Buddhism, especially Buddhism, had been "processed" by the Tang Dynasty, making it easier for the Japanese to accept it.

Xu Yanbo felt the disdainful gaze of Li Lingyue next to him. These days, if Li Chuyuan, the wife of the county lord, had not supported him and helped him resolve most of the questions raised by Princess Taiping, he might have been taken to Zongzheng Temple before His Royal Highness returned. I asked His Highness to save myself.

Facing Li Hong's question, Xu Yanbo, who tried to keep his composure and ignore Her Royal Highness the Princess's disdainful gaze, said with a grimace: "Your Highness, let's take it all into account. If the Taoists and Buddhists really don't have enough people, we will have to send Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, even Xuanzang, Huineng and others who are still alive are included."

With a pop, Li Lingyue couldn't help laughing when she heard Xu Yanbo's bitter words about the lack of manpower. Xu Yanbo felt uneasy all over his body.

Li Hong rolled his eyes at Li Lingyue with dissatisfaction, and said the same thing. As long as people are alive, naturally they cannot be included in the divine genealogy. If these people are added, it will be a joke, and it will be a bit too fake.

The vast Chinese nation, at this time, almost included all living people for the sake of the "divine genealogy"!

This made Li Hong have to sigh, if it had been a few hundred years later, wouldn't it have been much easier to integrate the Japanese country

But it’s hard to think about it. Writing has been introduced to the Japanese country since the Han Dynasty. After hundreds of years of accumulation, it is extremely difficult to change it now. In another few hundred years, I am afraid that Japan will have to let Japan After things like the Wu Huan Hua chaos happened first, they were reintegrated from the flames of war.

"Okay, let's do this for now. Let's go down. Is Prince Dajin still waiting outside the palace gate?" Li Hong looked up and saw Li Lingyue starting to look through the insignificant memorials on the table again.

He reached out and patted Li Lingyue's little hand to stop her from browsing randomly, and then asked: "Why do you have to wait until I ascend the throne before you are willing to get married?"

"It's nothing. I'm not in a hurry to get married. What I'm anxious about now is Aunt Chengyang. She goes to the palace every two days to urge her father and mother..." Li Lingyue ignored Li Hong's stop and picked up the memorial on the other side again and started to read it. , in short, she didn't read the content, she just wanted to mess up these memorials.

Li Hong looked at Xu Yanbo's back as he slowly left after saluting. After looking at the three women in the study besides the palace maid, the eunuch, and Li Lingyue, he once again swatted away Li Lingyue's troublesome hands on the desk and scolded: "What's wrong? If you need my help, just say so. These memorials are not against you, so what's the point of messing with them?"

Li Lingyue had a look on her face as if she wanted to beat me up. She shook her pink neck at Li Hong, blinked her bright eyes, and said with her white teeth, "I haven't figured out how to build the princess mansion yet."

"Didn't my father promise you?"

"But it costs a lot of money."

"You are not short of money now, and Bai Chun has such a good relationship with you. Even if I don't say anything, can she not give you money?"

"But many people will live in his mansion in the future, and he doesn't want to be too far away from his father and mother. The house is too small to live comfortably. You know, Xue Shao is also a soldier now, wielding swords and guns. It would be bad if he hurts others again, so he has to be able to use it no matter what." Li Lingyue looked pitiful, and while Li Hong was in a daze, she almost folded the memorial in her hand into a pile of waste. paper.

"I... your mansion is right next to the palace. You occupy a full 30% of the land. Xue Shao can't use his sword or spear?" Li Hong took the memorial from Li Lingyue's hand and glanced at it. The content, fortunately, is not something important. It is just a memorial from Honglu Temple, which records the procedures that he must follow on the day he ascends the throne.

"Aunt Chengyang and Aunt Lanling both account for half of it." Li Lingyue pouted, looking unhappy.

But what she said is true. The good areas around the palace have basically been occupied by royal family members and noble families, so it is good to be able to find such a mansion for her, but even so, the system is enough. She is worthy of her status as a princess, and even in every aspect, it is already a bit beyond her reach.

As for the residences of Chengyang, Lanling and others occupying half of Yifang, it was because the imperial grandfather Li Shimin and his old man doted on the princesses back then. In addition, at that time, Chang'an City did not have as many people as it does today. The royal family members and noble families were naturally granted titles according to the etiquette system or beyond the system when granting them.

"Then what do you want to do?" Li Hong suddenly realized that Li Lingyue is worthy of being Princess Taiping. This guy has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

"What do you think? That's why I'm waiting for you to help me expand the house after you ascend the throne."

"I won't do anything that's not beneficial."

"I'll give you Shangguan Wan'er. Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to keep up with Shangguan Wan'er."

"Nonsense, Shangguan Wan'er is not mine now. This is not a benefit."

"I have evidence in my hand. If you help me, I will also help you." Li Lingyue crumpled the other memorial into a ball again angrily.

"So you just wait for me to ascend the throne. In this case, when I handle it, my father and mother will not be able to interfere. After all, I will be... hehe."

"Hehe...that's what it means."

The treacherous and sinister smiles of the brother and sister made the maids and eunuchs who were serving them feel a chill involuntarily. It was so terrifying!
