Crown Tang emperor

"Everything is good in the world, how old are you, and you have to keep all the good things in your pocket? Only when you have a degree of wealth and honor can you keep it peacefully for a long time, overcome material desires, and be unrestrained. This is no different from animals, fattening Kill yourself and be slaughtered by others."

Although I have already felt the tenacity of the blood power, I still have to teach the truth that should be taught.

While the siblings were chatting, Xue Chongxun, who was far away in the capital of God, had just been sent out by his mother, Princess Taiping, and came to Xijing.

Chapter 0248

The city of God in early summer has its own charm.It is especially located in the north and south of Luoshui in the west of the city. In the north is the magnificent Shangyang Palace, and in the south is the popular Taiping Theater.

The Taiping Theater originally had no name, but because it was owned by Princess Taiping, it was named after the city of Princess Taiping.

This theater has been built and operated for more than three years, and it has already become one of the most popular amusement places in Shendu City and its surrounding areas.Especially in the Shilin, the Longmen Walking Monument and Taiping Theater are the first choice of entertainment places after entering Luo, where you can most intuitively feel the cultural customs of Shendu City.

This theater is located on the south bank of the Luoshui River. Needless to say, it occupies a vast area. There is an extremely grand theater in it, which is composed of halls of different sizes.The middle one is the largest and can accommodate two to 3000 people to watch the opera at the same time.Although the scales of the surrounding halls vary, each has its own style and unique characteristics.

Princess Taiping is deeply favored by the Holy Emperor, and her properties are spread all over the inside and outside of Shendu, but she is most concerned about this theater, and she even sits here and manages it herself for many years.

It is precisely because of this that even though the rich and powerful families in the city of Shendu have their own entertainment, they still linger here for a long time.Especially the female relatives of some powerful families, they must come every time, and the main purpose is naturally not to watch the show.

However, as it entered mid-April, the popularity of the Taiping Theater gradually declined, especially the scholars who lived in the city of Shendu as tourists, and their traces gradually disappeared.

There is an elegant small building in the theater, Princess Taiping lives here every day, and today is no exception.

The princess is wearing a plain white dress, although she doesn't show any lead, she is bright and moving.She was flipping through the theater's account books today, her face was a bit stern, and several theater stewards stood anxiously in the hall, peeping at the princess's expression from time to time.

"Why did the passenger flow drop so much today? Since the middle of the month, it has dropped sharply!"

After reading the account book, Princess Taiping casually rolled it up, then raised her head and asked in displeasure.

A steward stepped forward and replied stammeringly: "This, this is only because of the news from Xijing. Her Royal Highness naturally knows that King Hedong is going to be in Xijing..."

"There is no need to repeat the old love. Although Xijing is ostentatious, the guests are in my theater, and we can't keep them here. Is it not the fault of you who are in charge? Blame everything on Xijing Yuanxun. Are you all right?"

Princess Taiping snorted coldly, she didn't care much about the income brought by the passenger flow, but what she valued was the sense of accomplishment brought together by this gathering of characters.It can be said that she is inattentive in running this theater, and her popularity has been booming in the past few years. A news from Xijing has caused the theater's passenger flow to drop sharply, and she really feels frustrated.

"When the audience enters the arena, the first thing is to sit elegantly, the second is to be charming in color and art, and the third is to have a good voice."

Among the management of the theater, there are many capable people. Following Princess Taiping's questioning, they began to analyze: "Although the layout of the theater hall is gorgeous and beautiful, it is natural and ordinary for a long time. Xijing Pingkang color art has a long-standing reputation, and it attracts people to come and see .As for speeches and the like, until now the highest number of guests in the arena is still drawn by the King of Hedong. The king's reputation has been lost for a long time, and the first time he hears the news, it is a grand feast of sensuality, which naturally attracts people to come and see..."

"Recently, I made an appointment to buy a new speech from a talented person, but one after another broke the contract and refused to pay, and each of them wanted to save their painstaking work in Xijing to make a name for themselves..."

Everyone told what they saw, the more Princess Taiping heard, the more disturbed she became. At this moment, the nurse Mrs. Zhang came into the room and said: "Report Your Highness, the servant of the King of Hedong, Mr. Yang, has come."

"Let him in."

After hearing the words, Princess Taiping nodded and said, and then looked at the few people in the hall and said: "There is a grand event in Xijing, so is the theater going to be closed? Exaggerating the prosperity of others is just to cover up your own shortcomings, and retreat to think about it." How can I restore my popularity, if it continues to drop sharply, then I don’t need to support you idlers anymore!”

After several stewards heard the words, they hurriedly nodded yes, and each withdrew.

Dressed in a soap-colored round-neck robe, Yang Sixu strode into the hall, and bowed to the princess with crossed hands: "Nu Yangjiu pays homage to Her Royal Highness, I don't know what to teach her urgently?"

Looking at Yang Sixuan in front of her, Princess Taiping became furious and snorted coldly, "You don't know why you recruited me? I'm afraid it's very clear, right? I met you at the mansion the day before yesterday, what did you say? Entering and removing clothes, but the grief is still unresolved, and I am too lazy to respond to the noise of human relations, so I want to stay in Xijing for a short time, do you plan to return to Luo for a short time?"

"That's what the king ordered."

When Yang Sixu heard this, he responded respectfully.

Princess Taiping was even more annoyed when she heard this: "But what is he doing now? He is going to hold a grand meeting in Qujiang, Xijing, and even the people in the capital of the gods will rush to worship. Is this lazy? Pingkang Fengyue is more touching, won't you linger on it?"

Yang Sixu grinned a little after hearing the words, and raised his eyes to see the princess was furious, so he simply lowered his head even lower, not daring to respond any more.

"In the past, he encouraged me to waste everything on the stage, but after the transfer, I retreated away from the world. At that time, the relationship was difficult, and I didn't blame him for breaking the appointment. I took care of it alone, which is considered to be a concern for Erlang."

Princess Taiping is full of angry words, and she can't catch the right lord right now, so she can only vent to her servants.

She really had a bit of resentment towards this nephew, she patted her ass and left as soon as she said it. Not only did she miss her early promise to humiliate the Wu family at her wedding, but she also left her alone in the Shendu maintenance theater.

Putting aside these miscellaneous things, from the change of Yongchang to the current Ruyi first year, the gods have been turbulent and turbulent in the past few years.Although Princess Taiping was watching from the sidelines, she couldn't help being frightened.Originally, he planned to watch and help this nephew, but he retreated to the Qianling Mausoleum in Guanzhong, far away from these disputes.

Although there are voice messages between each other, but traveling between the two places, even if some voice communication is maintained, it is not time-sensitive at all.

It's not that Princess Taiping doesn't understand that King Hedong has his own reasons and reasons for doing this, so she doesn't complain too much.In fact, the reason for the anger in her heart is very complicated, and even she herself can't explain it clearly.

As the daughter of the Li family, seeing the change of color in the Tang Dynasty, although the signs were obvious beforehand, when the real thing came true, my feelings were a little different.Although she has not changed in her own wealth, she can't be said to be happy about it, and loss is inevitable.

Now the branches of the Li family clan have all withered, and the emperor's brother Li Dan is imprisoned tightly, only the upstart Wu clan kings are active on the stage.

Therefore, Princess Taiping was a little bit annoyed at King Hedong's practice of avoiding the world, even though she also knew that even if this nephew fought forcefully, it would not change the general situation, but might cause disaster to her.But with miscellaneous thoughts in mind, how can there be too much reason to distinguish.

Another thing that made Princess Taiping a little angry was that this kid was so slippery, he would leave as soon as he said he wanted to, and he didn't miss him at all.Although there was some sense of alliance between each other, Princess Taiping was completely passive, and this feeling made her very dissatisfied.

Let's not talk about the past, I hope that this nephew will have someone to discuss what happens to him after returning to the capital.

But this kid would rather stay in Xijing to tease Fengyue than return to the capital of God, which makes Princess Taiping a little dissatisfied, do you plan to get together to make trouble?What about using people as bowls?

Chapter 0249 Zongzhi withered, only this show is true

Yang Sixu left Guanzhong at the end of the king's mourning in mid-March, and returned to the capital of God to contact Gu Yi, in order to postpone the date of the king's return to the capital.Of course, I don't know what happened and why.

But even if he knew, seeing Her Royal Highness nagging and complaining again and again, he really didn't dare to refute, so he could only bow his head and be trained.

Princess Taiping summoned Yang Sixu without any specific purpose, but to vent her emotions.The resentment in her heart was not only towards Li Tong, she put aside all these miscellaneous dissatisfaction, she still valued this nephew very much, otherwise there would not be so many complaints.

After a lot of nagging, the depression in her heart eased a little, and she pointed to Yang Sixu and asked, "Have you finished the affairs that your king told you? When are you going to Xijing?"

"It's almost over, and I'm going to Xijing in the near future."

Yang Sixuan replied respectfully again. After a moment of silence, he still couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness taught all kinds of things. After the slave went to Xijing, I will be the king of Chen. But I secretly thought about it and dared to defend the king. Although the king is only young , but there is no lack of long-term plans in mind. Even if there are unkind cares, it must be because of the persecution of the times. There may be hidden thoughts that cannot be expressed in detail, but the king does things for love and never disappoints."

"I know he has such a talent, so I love to train him deeply. If he is just a talent raised in the garden, why should I never forget him!"

Princess Taiping was still furious after hearing the words, and after pondering for a while, she said seriously: "I know he will not lose weight, and he has his own considerations for everything he does. It is inevitable that the parents who care about him will be confused or misunderstood. When you return to Xijing this time, you can tell him that he has no relatives and disciples to watch him in God, so there is no point in wandering far away for a long time."

"Although the current situation in Shendu is turbulent, with his ability to make a living in the past, he will never have a foothold. On the contrary, the old love has been lost for a long time, and the old family may turn into decline. Although Guanzhong is the old court , but in a perverse world, it is impossible to follow the old ways, even if he stays in Xijing again, he is young and has little knowledge, and there are limits to what he can do, so it is better to return to the gods to see the situation."

Why the young king is unwilling to return to the capital of God early? Princess Taiping also has considerations when she is free.She thinks the more reliable answer is that this kid feels that Xijing is far away from the focus of the current situation and will not receive too much attention. He also has the background of the Tang family's old business, so he wants to make some personnel accumulation.

But Princess Taiping feels that this idea is still too rash, the current situation has changed to this day, and the stories of people in Guanzhong are scattered and scattered, and they can no longer be trusted.On the contrary, there are many deeds in the capital of God in the old year, which is impressive.Conspiracy can go deep into the heart of the Holy Emperor, which is his greatest advantage in being able to settle down in this world.

What Princess Taiping valued the most was the talent of the young king.In recent years, thanks to her willingness to flatter her, coupled with the Holy Emperor's unwavering care for her family, the relationship between mother and daughter has greatly eased.

But even so, Princess Taiping often has the feeling that God's will is unpredictable, so she pays more and more attention to the alertness shown by the young king in the past.

The kings of the Wu Clan are in the center of the gods, carve up the Holy Emperor's grace and power for their own interests, Princess Taiping also finds it very unpleasant.

Although she and Wu Youji are known as husband and wife, the relationship between husband and wife is inevitable, at least not enough to give her any sense of belonging to the Wu family. From the bottom of her heart, she hopes that her father's family can stand out as a figure to maintain a sense of existence. The nephew of King Hedong is the natural choice, and he has done it before.

Based on these reasons, Princess Taiping felt that Li Tong's petty thinking was a little bit upside down. Only by re-inviting the Holy Emperor's favor can he protect him and stand firmly in the world. what benefit the king brings.

Today's Princess Taiping is no longer the wandering woman who suffered sudden family changes in the old days. While maintaining the theater, she has gradually gained experience in dealing with people and things, and has her own views on people and things.

She valued this nephew, and wanted to exert more influence on him, lead him into the right path, and do what he really should do.

After pondering for a while, she said again: "That kid relies on others' reputation and plays with love, and he is nothing more than a young man. He has such an elegant mood, so he shouldn't be too deserted in terms of people. Later, my family, Alang, pack up, you Let's go to Xijing with him, let's go."

After sending Yang Sixu away, Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and said: "The long journey is really tiring, and Alang is immature, so I'm afraid he can't help it. The King of Hedong is stubborn in his private plans, but he doesn't understand the kindness of his parents. Why should Your Royal Highness make Lang Jun go on a long journey?" Add to the fun?"

"Zongzhi is withered, only this is beautiful. If I don't care about him, who else can I care about? Alang is not young, and he has no father's shade to dominate, so he should be diligent in human feelings. Enron grows up, but it's just a waste."

Princess Taiping sighed, and then asked again: "This eunuch Yang Jiu, who visits the past in the capital to reminisce, what door does he move around?"

"He is the false son of Old Man Yang, Sigongtai. The King of Hedong sent him back to the capital because he was greedy for the convenience of entering and exiting the forbidden area. I visited a few houses outside, but there is nothing worth mentioning. Several government officials are not showing their posts, and there are some merchants in Nanshi..."

Mrs. Zhang spoke in detail, and she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Nowadays, the gods are boiling, and the ministers of the southern government are in danger, and most of the extravagant official positions of the king in the past have been swept away. If you want to return to God, you will restore the old It's not that easy."

"Auntie said that, so I underestimated my nephew. His long-term plan is beyond your ability to measure."

Princess Taiping laughed after hearing the words, and then said: "Yang Jiu visited those people, and listed the details, and let the family members get together one by one later. He has not been in the capital for a long time, and the old feelings are old. I always help him consolidate. The characters he appreciates are always impressive, and he saves the eyework of discerning virtuous and bereaved."

Speaking of this, she sighed again: "Speaking of long-term vision, this kid can really boast. The officials in Sigongtai have been idle for a long time, but because of the deeds of the old year, Yang Chong also took charge of Yingfang and idle stables to help Yulin and Qianqi are not outsiders. I heard that Yang Chong is also in charge of the idle stables, and Wei Tuan'er has also given his help."

Mrs. Yang was shocked when she heard this, she widened her eyes and sighed: "The King Hedong's management of the situation in the ban is so profound!"

"Oh, whether His Majesty the King of Fa's nonsense lectures are profound or not is only a matter of God's will. Your Majesty still cares about her grandson. He never does things for a moment's leisure, otherwise you think it's a big advance and a big retreat. Is this calmness available to everyone?"

When Princess Taiping said this, she stood up and walked back to the inner room. After changing into a bright dress, she ordered Mrs. Zhang: "Prepare the frame, and collect some strange things as a gift, let's enter the palace."

The Empress is currently living in Shangyang Palace. Princess Taiping Yi drove west along the imperial road after crossing the Tianjin Bridge, and entered Shangyang Palace not long after.

In the early summer, the flowers and trees in Shangyang Palace are in full bloom, and the beauty is too beautiful to behold.Princess Taiping got off the car outside the gate of the palace, toured all the way, and arrived at Hongzhiyuan without knowing it. Shangguan Wan'er, who was wearing a blue round collar robe and knotted head, strode out to welcome Princess Taiping and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the director of the palace. If Her Majesty the Princess is not in a hurry to make an appointment, why not stay here for a short time and come back during mealtime?"

"I'm just an idler greedy for scenery. I don't have any impatience, so I'm here to bother you for a while."

Princess Taiping took Shangguan Wan'er by the hand, and walked towards the main courtyard, at the same time she was a little puzzled and said: "During the journey, I saw very few people, is it because the palace people are sneaking away?"

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated a little after hearing the words, but she still said truthfully: "Master Xue is preaching the scriptures and meanings in the Linzhi Hall, and the palace people who are idle, all go there to listen to the lecture."

When Princess Taiping heard this, she frowned immediately: "I'm afraid that people will lie and speak evil seriously, and mislead others and myself!"

"Princess, please be careful."

After hearing the words, Shangguan Wan'er looked around subconsciously, and whispered to Princess Taiping again.

Princess Taiping's eyes turned complicated, and she sighed softly: "Gossip has accumulated in my heart for a long time, so how dare I speak it out to anyone except my true bosom friend."

Her resentment towards Xue Huaiyi stems from the fact that Xue Huaiyi refused to save her ex-husband Xue Shao in the past.

Similar to resentment, there is also Shangguan Wan'er who tricked her into house arrest.But after several years of dating, Shangguan Wan'er wandered between mother and daughter, which improved her relationship with the Holy Emperor, and the old grievances of anger naturally gradually dissipated.

But for Xue Huaiyi, Princess Taiping really hated her more and more.The fact that he pretended to be from the Xue family has already made her feel a lot of guilt towards her ex-husband, and she could not avoid rescue at the critical moment of life and death, and it also made her difficult to have a good impression of this thief monk.

But today's Xue Huaiyi is no longer a jester in the old days. He led the troops several times, and the Turks retreated before fighting.Under the exaggeration of someone with a heart, the Holy Emperor really regarded Xue Huaiyi as a blessed general, and his favor was even stronger.

Even though Princess Taiping had accumulated grievances, she did not dare to lightly provoke right and wrong and destroy the mother-daughter relationship that was finally harmonious.

Shangguan Wan'er led Princess Taiping into the leisure hall of Hongzhiyuan, and then left in a hurry.

After the empress came to power, these forbidden female officials also rose with the tide, and they had to be responsible for a wider range of affairs.Shangguan Wan'er has a profound family education, and is the daughter of a criminal who was directly promoted from Ye Ting. She has less contact with the outer court, so she is more trusted by the Holy Emperor, and gradually surpasses several Yu Zheng who are directly involved in the case.

Sitting in this hall, Princess Taiping was not idle either. This side hall was a private resting place for Shangguan Wan'er, and all the decorations were quite elegant.

Princess Taiping Xiao Gu for a moment, waved her hand to indicate to Mrs. Zhang to arrange the gifts she brought, and went to the book case by the window, flipped through Shangguan Wan'er's manuscript, and found in it the two kings of Hedong who were newly introduced from Xijing to the capital of God. The first new works "Long Lovesickness" and "Through the Night".

Looking at the paper texture is elegant and fragrant, and the brushwork is beautiful and delicate, it is obvious that the owner copied it with care.Princess Taiping unfolded it and raised it to Mrs. Zhang, making a strange grimace at the corner of her mouth, she didn't put it back in the box, just put it on the table and waited for Shangguan Wan'er to return.

Chapter 0250 The young king is just a careless person

After more than half an hour, Shangguan Wan'er returned to this idle room again, her brows and eyes were full of tiredness, and she couldn't even raise her spirits to greet Princess Taiping with a smile after sitting down, she just raised her hand to let the maid bring her Tea.

"Is the talented person sick? Since the body is not fit, and the affairs are passed on to others, why do you have to work so hard?"

Princess Taiping smelled the strong flavor of the tea, so she couldn't help but said to Shangguan Wan'er with concern.She does not have any habit of drinking tea, even if she drinks it daily, it is only used as a supplementary medicine.

Shangguan Wan'er held the cup in her hand, and grinned after hearing the words: "There's nothing wrong with it, Shangyang Palace is injured in early summer, and sitting for a long time will inevitably lead to bone pain. A little love is not enough."

While talking, she moved the seat closer to Princess Taiping, pointed at the tea soup in the cup and said with a smile: "The tea is not greasy, and it can be used for a long time to relieve fatigue. I am also obsessed with people, and after I practice it, I have no drink and no joy. Seasoning with various ingredients refreshes the mind. Guiding Qi makes people feel that their eyes and ears are sharp and they are not tired all day long, would you like to try it, Your Highness the Princess?"

Princess Taiping glanced at the pungent medicinal soup, feeling somewhat conflicted in her heart, but seeing Shangguan Wan'er sipping it slowly, seeming to savor the sweetness, she simply raised her hand and nodded: "Then give it a try."

Various cups and cups of tea sets were delivered from the trays of the palace servants. Shangguan Wan'er took the initiative to pick up the ingredients for seasoning, such as pepper powder, tea foam, orange peel, honey, etc., mixed them with boiling water, and put them in the delicate white porcelain cups. The soup is bright and lovely.

She presented the cup to Princess Taiping's case with a bamboo holder, and looked forward to watching the princess toast and drink, as if sharing something good with her best friend.

After entering the tea soup, Princess Taiping smacked slightly, her brows relaxed: "The taste is not bad."

While talking, she saw that the color of her tea was different from that of Shangguan Wan'er, so she grabbed it out of curiosity and said with a smile, "Let me taste the tea, what's the difference?"

The relationship between each other is getting closer day by day, Princess Taiping didn't try to avoid suspicion, she raised her glass and drank it, but she felt acrid after drinking the tea, she managed to hold back not to spit it out, and after swallowing it forcefully, she tsk-tsk said: "Strong drinking hurts, like a punishment, like a police officer. , non-painstaking people can't learn this, talented people are really interested and tricky."

Shangguan Wan'er was slightly taken aback when she heard this, she took back her tea after a moment of silence and said with a smile: "It's just that habits are hard to change. Let Your Highness say this, but I feel like a lonely person. It’s time to call the police.”

Having said that, she didn't intend to change her taste, and asked the palace servants to refill another cup of old flavor. When she saw the paper on the table in a blink of an eye, her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't do anything to avoid it. She took the initiative to sit by the table, Picking up the paper, he smiled at the princess and said, "This king's voice is interesting, and the world has not heard it for a long time. When you hear a new voice, it means that the wind and the moon are in full swing. It seems that the public sentiment is trending westward, and the theater is cold. Your Highness, the princess, can have some free time." .”

Princess Taiping sighed after hearing the words, and then said with a smile: "There is no way to do this. My nephew is very erotic, and his movements are provocative. Even Cairen, a talented woman, can't help but want to redraw it on the notes. , interesting and long-lasting products, not to mention those outsiders. Fortunately, this is not a Yushu in other courtyards, so the theater is deserted, and I am also happy and complain."

After the empress came to power, Shangguan Wan'er naturally could no longer keep her embarrassing position as a talent in the palace. Now she is called a member of the court, and the title she put together is a bit nondescript, but no one inside or outside dares to play on it. laugh.

However, the palace people still used to call Shangguan Wan'er a talented person, regardless of what the title referred to, it was just a literal meaning, referring to her talent.

Shangguan Wan'er alluded to all the gods and scholars rushing to please the young king who is far away in Xijing, so it's no big deal for her to collect the young king's new words.

Princess Taiping didn't want her to be fooled so easily, so she approached and sat side by side with Shangguan Wan'er, twisted a corner of the paper and said with a smile: "This kid seduced me to build a theater last year, and he himself went out to attend the ceremony, let me Maintaining this place alone. Now that I am playing interesting things in Xijing, and my family is deserted, this is arrogant and annoying. Unfortunately, I really admire it. There is wit in the words."

"Love seems to be glamorous and close to adultery, and interest seems to be true to oneself. This is self-pity, not a wonderful chapter of a king. Compared with the old king's voice, in fact, his body and spirit are very different. It can be seen that he lives in isolation, self-defeating, and not living. It’s not a good state of talent.”

Shangguan Wan'er didn't evade either, she just pointed to the words and said to Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping was surprised when she heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "I saw that talented people cherished detailed drawings and kept them properly. I thought that a good work would be rewarded, but it turned out to be just a shameless and clumsy work?"

"This is not my comment, but His Majesty's comment. The King of Hedong has reached a wonderful state, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Your Royal Highness is incompetent in tasting, so how can I distinguish between good and bad. I can see with my eyes, only the king's appearance Clever words, brilliant skills, amazing, this is just a common saying that people with low talents can't compare with themselves."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the princess while talking: "I dare not enter the money and bridle, the young king just has no intentions. He uses rich colors to cover up his luck, and uses clever words to seduce people. The insincere words are meant to cover up. This is not something that my common eyes can do." Li Yan, if Her Majesty the Princess wants to teach you a lesson, you can quote His Majesty's words."
