Borrowing money is an extremely difficult thing, and you have to be so thick-skinned that it makes people speechless. But even so, Li Hong still failed to borrow money smoothly, but it was because of the sad words of the Supreme Emperor. , forcing him to continue to be a filial son, and Li Zhe and Li Dan were also implicated.
I don’t know whether Li Zhi made the mistake, or whether it was because people tend to be nostalgic when they get old. Just when Li Hongzheng shamelessly cried about poverty and told about the difficulty of his governance in the past few years, the Supreme Emperor sitting beside him But he sighed in vain, saying that he wanted to go back to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to stay for a while, but he was tired of staying in Chang'an City.
The Emperor's tone was filled with sadness and nostalgia, which made Li Hong and Wu Mei look sideways. What happened today? Why did the old man who was so energetic just now become so sad all of a sudden
"Back... back to Luoyang, the eastern capital?" Li Hong felt as if his neck was being stepped on by Dragon Mother, and the sound he made was like the sound of a duck.
Luoyang Imperial Palace Ziwei Palace, Li Zhi and Wu Mei have occasionally traveled back and forth over the years, but they only return to Chang'an every three to five months, and generally when they go to Luoyang, they do not set off until winter.
Now the time has not come yet, there are still more than two months to go, not to mention that the large crops he cultivated with the people around the palace have not yet been harvested. He has not found a sense of accomplishment, so why does he suddenly want to return to Luoyang? Woolen cloth
Wu Mei looked at the tired Li Zhi intently, put down the feather duster and grabbed one of Li Zhi's hands and asked softly: "What's wrong, Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to return to Luoyang early?"
"Yes, Father, isn't it good in Chang'an? Why do you suddenly want to go back to Luoyang? Is there a beauty... Ouch..." One wrong word immediately caused Long Ma to slap the Emperor of Tang Dynasty on the back of the head.
"Suddenly, my heart moved inexplicably. I don't know why I suddenly thought of Ziwei Palace in Luoyang. It was like... it felt like the Luoyang Palace was calling me to come there." Li Zhi opened his eyes and looked at Wu in front of him. Mei and Li Hong said calmly.
Although the burden on Zen has been greatly reduced in the past few years, and the pressure on his heart has been much reduced, the vertigo that has never been cured still tortures him from time to time, and sometimes even makes him wish to die and completely get rid of this vertigo. torture.
Li Hong looked calmly at Father Long who was sitting on the recliner with a calm face, but he couldn't calm down in his heart no matter what. The drought was severe last year, and he withstood the pressure and did not issue a sinful edict. However, his father and mother finally agreed. Unable to withstand the worsening drought, he traveled to Mount Tai in a simple carriage to pray for the common people in the world.
My father suffered from vertigo several times along the way. After returning to Chang'an, he spent nearly two months recuperating before gradually getting better. Even Pei Wanying, Sun Simiao's close female disciple, went to Xingqing Palace every day. He ran away and treated his father in person, but even so, the current queen was unable to completely cure the vertigo.
What surprised Li Hong even more was that in history, Father Long died of illness shortly after returning to Luoyang after Taishan Fengchan was forced to stop due to vertigo.
During that period, Li Zhi was so tortured by his illness that he could not even summon the courtiers, and before he could issue a posthumous edict, he died in the Zhenguan Hall in the Ziwei Palace of Luoyang Palace.
The then crown prince Li Xian, now Li Zhe, inherited the throne in a hurry in front of Li Zhi's coffin.
Therefore, when I heard Li Zhi say that it seemed like the palace in Luoyang was calling him, I couldn't help but feel shocked. Could it be that Father Long's time has really come
History has long deviated from its original trajectory. Li Zhi, who died at the age of fifty-six, has now crossed the hurdle of the year of his death in history. He is now sixty-eight years old and has lived an extra twelve years. It's reincarnation, will God suddenly think of this thing again
I still plan to let my father live for another ten or twenty years, but I haven't made a plan to "reunite" my father and grandpa Huang at this time.
"Um...can you...can you go back after this period of time? As you heard just now, I am currently in charge of government..."
"I'm going back to Luoyang with your mother, and I have no intention of letting you go with me. Li Zhe and Li Dan have no money during this period, and they can't afford to bother, so let them accompany me and your mother back to Luoyang to live for a while. "Li Zhi's eyes were bright, filled with yearning and urgency for Luoyang Palace.
Wu Mei sighed softly, glanced at Li Hong, who was inexplicably nervous and complicated, and said after a while: "Let Pei Wanying follow us. The imperial doctors in the palace are also helpless about your father's illness. But fortunately, every time vertigo attacks, Wanying's prescription can relieve the pain in time, which is much better than those of the imperial doctors. "
"There is no problem with this, but... I really don't trust you and my father to go back to Luoyang alone..."
"Aren't there Li Zhe and Li Dan following you? Your queen, who you praised as the master of miracle medicine, is not also accompanying her, so what are you worried about?" Wu Mei felt more and more strange, this was her first I found for the first time that Li Hong was so nervous when facing them.
Especially the emotion in his eyes was different from the emotions at any time. Even when he was talking at this time, Li Hong's attention was obviously not focused here, but always seemed to have something on his mind. There is a feeling of anxiety that seems to be absent.
"Well... I can't say what I'm worried about, but I'm worried after all. How about this? Give me a few days to settle the court affairs. I, Li Zhe and others will accompany you. How about we go to Luoyang together? It will be quick, it won't take long, if not, just let them go to Luoyang together." Li Hong rubbed his hands and said a little confused.
"I can't wait any longer. I want to go to Luoyang immediately. This journey will take at least half a month. I'll wait until you have finished handling the government affairs at court before setting off. I'm afraid it will be delayed for more than a month. , Absolutely not," Li Zhi waved his hand and said.
Since becoming a Zen monk, Li Zhi has used the title "I" more often than before. Even when there were only three of them, Li Zhi often used the title "I" to refer to himself, unlike before, when he often referred to me as "I". On the lips.
Faced with this wonderful change, Li Hong once secretly asked Long Ma, who was admiring the Shu Tao tapestry: "Father, have you not been an emperor enough? Why do I keep talking about it now, unlike before?" , always use me..."
"This is the case with this person. When he has something, he naturally doesn't know how to cherish or care about it. But when he loses it, he will miss the time when he had it. Then why don't you return the throne to your father? "
Facing Long Ma's teasing, Li Hong could only roll his eyes and shake his head, and gave his throne to his father. What's going on? How to explain it to the world? It’s not like this to make a joke.
When Wu Mei heard Li Zhi's words, she couldn't help but look sideways. She originally thought that His Majesty just suddenly felt something and wouldn't be so anxious, but she didn't expect that His Majesty looked like he didn't want to be here anymore. Chang'an was stunned.
"If you are really in a hurry to go to Luoyang, I have a way to not delay your schedule, but also allow you to have enough time to deal with the government affairs of the court, and then accompany you to Luoyang, not to mention that I should also go there. Travel to Luoyang. Since Erchen came to the throne, most of the scholars in Chang'an City are from poor families. Some scholars with five surnames and seven noble families have mostly been active in Luoyang because of Erchen. They are like divided. It seems that there are two factions, so I went to Luoyang on the one hand to accompany you and the queen, and on the other hand, naturally because of the matter of Luoyang Cheng, I wanted to see the current situation in Luoyang for myself in order to feel at ease. "
After finishing speaking, Li Hong saw that Father Long and Mother Long were a little moved, so he continued: "Father, even if you set off tomorrow, I'm afraid it will take twenty days to reach Luoyang, right? But this son, I This method, even if I include my son to deal with government affairs these days, the total time will definitely not exceed half a month, what do you think?"
"Your mother and I don't have much entourage, and the ceremonial guard is not as good as before. Besides, we are going to Luoyang, and we don't have to mobilize an army. We only need to be accompanied by some people from Xingqing Palace to set off. But if I take you with me..." Li Zhi said with a look of disdain. He looked Li Hong up and down, as if Li Hong would slow down their journey if he followed them.
"What your father means is that if I take you with me, with the honor guard of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the visits of officials from various counties and states along the way, I'm afraid it would be really slow to go to Luoyang with you. Don't you understand? Your father’s intention is that he doesn’t want to take you with him because he thinks you are a burden.”
Someone's face started to turn a little green when his parents disliked him so bluntly. Even if he didn't want to be seen, there was no need to say it outright.
So he twitched and said: "But... but... Erchen does have a faster way to reach Luoyang, definitely better than you..."
"That diesel locomotive of yours parked outside Chang'an City, already rusty, lying like a dead dog? It can't even move, and the sound alone is so noisy that it makes people unable to lift it. I'm not interested at all. I and your father have no interest in suffering that kind of thing." Wu Mei glanced at Li Hong. Wu Mei had already thought of Li Hong's idea when she first said that he had a faster way. What is it.
Li Hong was speechless. Long Ma was not as smart as a day or two, and it was not strange to be able to guess his own methods. But it was a bit too disrespectful for the old couple to dislike him so much and regard him as a burden. Save your face.
What's more, the train is only louder outside. If you enter the carriage, it is not that loud.
"You can use a horse to run it. Think about it, if there is a horse pulling it in front of you, wouldn't it be faster than on the pipeline? And it will be more stable. You and your father's chariot, even if it is Now it's as big as this room, but it's only as big as that carriage? What's more, he doesn't feel uncomfortable being alone in that carriage. He can move around and think about it, even do a set of punches. There is enough space." Li Hong glanced at Long Ma, who was a little moved, and continued confused.
"That's four or five carriages, which are as big as your phoenix carriage. It's comfortable for you and your father to travel back and forth all these years. Chang'an and Luoyang, I guess I've long been tired of seeing the scenery on both sides. After sitting on the railway track, it's a completely different scenery. Just think about the beautiful mountains, water and scenery outside the car window, and fly behind you quickly. , let go of your mood and embrace nature, how free and freehand it is, and you can avoid the visits from the prefectural and county offices along the way, and completely focus on the mountains and rivers!
