Crown Tang emperor

But this proposal was quickly rejected, not to mention whether it would appear that the court was too stingy, and the mere delay of allowing the electors of the states to waste a month's living and living expenses would easily cause great dissatisfaction.

More importantly, even if it is postponed and the Shangsi Festival is staggered, what about the Dragon Boat Festival?What about the Double Ninth Festival?

Such a move, apart from making the announcement of the imperial government's decree appear more chaotic and disorderly, it can't change any problems in essence.

Moreover, compared with Daxingtai, the imperial court already has patriarchal advantages, and the breadth and depth of its administration and selection of talents are far from comparable to that of Daxingtai. If Daxingtai surpasses the imperial court in terms of attracting talents, then the imperial court If I really want to do a deep self-examination, which aspect of my fault is so serious that I am completely out of the ordinary?

But the truth is the same, but seeing so many failed electors go to Xijing with friends and friends, the people in power in Shendu feel quite uncomfortable.

Although there is no lack of self-consolation in my heart, these are a group of losers who do not meet the selection standards of the imperial court.But who can guarantee that the selection of talents by the imperial court will be fair and comprehensive, and there will be no regrets in it?

What's more, the empress dowager, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly intervened in foreign affairs again, which also made the whole gods in the court more vigilant.The empress dowager has lost her power and is getting older. It is absolutely difficult for her to get a chance to regain power, but after all, she has accumulated a lot of power and her remaining power is still there.What's more, no one can guarantee whether the empress dowager's move has reached any consensus with forces outside the imperial court.

Under such circumstances, the imperial court did not dare to impose any extreme restrictions on Daxingtai's behavior. It just took advantage of the new year's end when Tubo disturbed the border again, and made some adjustments to the court's sentiments.Special Jin Li Zhaode was released as the governor of Guangzhou, and Wei Yuanzhong, the captain of Rencheng County, went to Yaozhou to join the army.

And in this adjustment, there is another inconspicuous appointment, that is, the selector Pei Ni first joined the army for Junzhou Sicang.Different from the release of several former prime ministers, this appointment only involves low-ranking posts, and the conferred Mr. Pei is not a well-known and well-known court official. Among the thousand appointments, it is not very eye-catching.

But if you analyze it deeply, you will understand the deep meaning of this appointment.Junzhou is located in Shannan Road, one step away from Fangzhou, where King Luling lived. Sicang joined the army and served as a military officer, which indirectly affected Hezhou's military.

As for Pei Yixian, who was ordered to join the army by Sicang in Junzhou, he was not an ordinary candidate, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be a candidate, but was awarded for nothing.The reason why he got this appointment is because of his background, Pei Yuxian was the former Prime Minister Pei Yancongzi who was punished for the crime of treason and has not been rehabilitated yet!

Putting such a person in Junzhou, which is very close to Fangzhou, and giving him certain military duties, this appointment can reflect the entanglement of Emperor Li Dan in the face of the Luling King.

Although more than a year has passed since the coup in Shendu, some unjustly accused ministers of the Wu Zhou Dynasty have been rehabilitated one after another.Including some of Li Tang's family members who were deeply persecuted, they were gradually recalled from their places of exile to serve in the court.

But there is one exception among them, that is Luling King Li Xian.Not only did the court not make any adjustments to King Luling's situation, even all topics about King Luling became a taboo in the government and the public.

Of course, it's not that no one has mentioned this at all.Just a few years ago, there was a scholar in the capital of the gods who wrote a letter to the que, saying that the king of Luling was the son of the second sage.

However, when Xu Junchen, the judge of Dali Temple, was investigating a certain case, he found that the priest was a master-killing and escaped slave from a nearby county. To be free from being deceived by treacherous tricks and indulging evil in the world.Because of this, Xu Junchen was granted the title of head of Luoyang County.

Whether a person is inherently good or bad, if his existence makes everyone feel uncomfortable, then his existence is really a sin.In short, all the topics about King Luling were covered up in this way of turning a blind eye.

Even if the emperor's sensitive nerves were aroused by the sudden change of the empress dowager, and he needed to be more vigilant about it, he had to choose this method that would not arouse the reverie of the time as much as possible.

Anyone inside or outside the court may collude with King Luling for the sake of power, but only Pei Yan's descendants will not.

After all, half of the sufferings that King Luling has suffered in these years were given by Pei Yan.Even if the descendants of Pei Yan contacted the King of Luling with all their heart and soul and asked if you want to return to the capital, the King of Luling would have to wonder whether you are addicted to me because of your full-fledged rebelliousness?

Chapter 0686 Boyu depressed, drunk with sorrow

Located in Quchi Fang near Qujiang Pond, there is a small garden. Although the area is not large, there are strange stones, weeping willows, and Qushui corridors. The layout is very elegant and decent, which shows that the owner here has good taste.

Because of the Qujiang meeting in the square outside the garden, the noisy sound shook the flowers and trees in the garden, but it also blocked part of the noise.Outside the pavilion outside the core of the small garden, there are additional tents to surround it. Although it does not have the comfort of the spring breeze, it is still an excellent place to entertain guests.

"Fortunately, the natives of Qiao Zuosi's hometown have preserved this old career, so that those who are rebellious travelers like us can find a place to settle in Beijing."

The banquet in the pavilion was well-prepared, and there were seven or eight guests reunited for a reunion. One of the middle-aged people held a cup and sighed: "The scenery of Xijing is really different now. It is expected to come to Xijing for a short stay at the beginning of the year. First, let the family bring the goods. I went west and lived in a typical business. Unexpectedly, the land in Chang'an is expensive and I can't find it for a long time. I thought it was because my family was too talented to use it. I know that Chang'an is prosperous and hard to live in. I can only ask the owner of this village to protect me. I have a seat."

Qiao Zhizhi, the owner of the small garden, was dressed in Yanju's fashionable clothes today. After hearing the words, he twitched his beard and smiled, and gave the guest a cup in return: "The famous king came here to do politics, and the scenery of Xijing is not the same as before. The idle business here is occasionally prosperous in the old years." The place is not used for long-term residence. It has been idle for several years, and the land price has been increased by dozens of times recently. If it is not for the convenience of being close to Quchi, it may be difficult to bear the temptation of high profits. Wang Er was born in the middle of wealth People, if you don’t think the land here is narrow and restricts your interest, the garden property will be given directly, and there is no need to make a pawn.”

Qiao Zhizhi was born in the family of Qi Xun, his father, Qiao Shiwang, was the son-in-law of the great ancestor and a famous minister of Zhenguan. Not bad either.

For example, the middle-aged man Wang Wujing who spoke just now, his ancestral home is Langya, and he was born in a rich family in Donglai. Even Qiao Zhizhi is called a wealthy man with such a background.In addition to being born in a wealthy family, Wang Wujing is also good at eloquence. He is a leading literati in the world. He and Qiao Zhizhi have a friendship and interest in working together.

Hearing that Qiao Zhizhi gave it directly with the garden property, Wang Wujing didn't stick to it, and nodded directly: "Chen Nian is not worth it, and only when he enters here will he know how to renovate. Xijing is more enlightened than the gods. I do have people who live here for a long time. Plan. Since Qiao Zuosi is not stingy, then I will be disrespectful. The layout of this garden is quite to my heart, and the doves occupy the magpie's nest, and I have regarded myself as the master since then."

The land price in Qujiang Pond has skyrocketed. Although Qiao Zhizhi's garden is small in size, the price has reached several thousand yuan because of its proximity to Qujiang. The most important thing is that money may not be able to buy it.

Such an expensive gift is only a few words, which not only shows the deep friendship between each other, but also shows that each family has a good background, one dares to give it, and the other dares to accept it.

Wang Wujing didn't receive this generous gift for nothing, after raising his glass to congratulate him, he waved his hands, and two of the attendants walked out, with dark complexions and burly bodies.

Wang Wujing pointed to these two servants and smiled at Qiao Zhizhi: "These two Kunlun slaves are quite good at fighting skills. Before that, they came in and out with me, and visited famous masters in the two capitals to teach them skills. They gave them a little armor, and it was hard for more than a dozen people to get close to them. Its body. Knowing that Zuo Si will be in the west of Qixi, and the fierce wind is strong on the other side, you must have strong personnel to use it with you, so that you can go in and out safely."

Qiao Zhizhi was overjoyed when he heard the words, he and Wang Wujing had a deep friendship, knowing that Wang Wujing spent a lot of money and food in cultivating these two Kunlun slaves, just putting in a lot of effort.

In the old years of Chuigong, Wang Wujing once accompanied his foreign envoys to the army and went north to quell the rebellion of Tongluo and Pugu.Even Liu Jingtong, the chief of the army at that time, loved the bravery of the two slaves, and repeatedly asked Wang Wujing to buy it. Wang Wujing just didn't agree, but now he gave it to himself. If it is only based on value, it is far from his Quchi Xiaoyuan can compare.

Since Wang Wujing did not refuse his gift, Qiao Zhizhi also accepted the gift of the second slave with a smile.And this time he will go to the other side to use it again, and it is indeed appropriate to have such a warrior by his side.

Hearing the conversation between the two, someone in the meeting wondered: "The imperial court has issued an edict to call Zuo Si to serve as a Lang Guan in the southern province. Why is Zuo Si going to go far away?"

Qixi is the code name for the Western Regions. The key battle of the Tang Dynasty to conquer the Eastern Turks took place in Qikou, and Qixi is the vast area west of Qikou.

Hearing the guest's question, Qiao Zhizhi sighed: "I don't want to be used by the court. Instead of going to the capital as a noble minister, I would rather pick up the old ambitions of my father's generation and patrol the frontiers to repay the country. King Yong Your Highness knows that I have this ambition, and recently added me to the Northern Court to supervise and protect the army. After the personnel arrangements in Beijing, I will go north. Although it is a pity that I cannot meet with you in Beijing, but Hua is happening, and I am afraid that time will not wait for me .”

Qiao Zhizhi, apart from being born in a noble family, is most well-known in the world for being a poetic talent with literary fame, but this does not mean that he is just a noble idler who only knows the libretto of prostitutes, and he is quite good at border affairs .

One aspect of this comes from family traditions, as his father, Qiao Shiwang, was known for his side affairs.Qiao Shiwang was in charge of the important diplomatic action of joining Xue Yantuo on the eve of the crusade against the Eastern Turks in the early Tang Dynasty.After the Great Tang conquered Gaochang, Qiao Shiwang served as the first Anxi Governor.Xue Yantuo, who was taught by him in the booklet, was eventually defeated by Qiao Shiwangdian's army.

Therefore, the Qiao family can be regarded as an out-and-out Zhenguan martial arts family. Qiao Zhizhi has this family background, so he naturally has this ambition, hoping to repeat the glory of his ancestors.

But during Gaozong's reign, the emperor didn't like Guan Zhongxun's family, and Qiao Zhizhi didn't have the opportunity to join the army for a long time, so he could only dawdle with words.It was not until he was nearly fifty in the year of Chui Gong that he followed the army to quell the rebellion of Tiele's tribes as an army censor.

Although this battle was fought beautifully, because the marching chief Liu Jingtong had a close friendship with the general Wang Fangyi, and he was implicated by Wang Fangyi not long after, so the battle could not be reported normally.After returning to Beijing, Qiao Zhizhi could only continue to be idle.

It was also during the time when the capital was idle that Qiao Zhizhi had the honor to meet His Royal Highness King Yong.At first, he was attracted by His Royal Highness Yong's amazing talent, but as he got in touch with him more deeply, he felt that His Highness Yong was a rare talent in the clan.

Afterwards, His Royal Highness King Yong’s series of deeds and great achievements also confirmed Qiao Zhizhi’s opinion, so when Qinghai Dasheng, Xingtai was established, and the court was still struggling with how to deal with Xingtai, Qiao Zhizhi resigned from Shendu. The official position of the imperial court directly returned to Xijing to join Xingtai.

Because he was born in a family of relatives, he has a lot of voices, and he has a good reputation among scholars. Even though Qiao Zhizhi did not participate in the election of the imperial court, the imperial court still awarded him the title of Langguan of Southern Province and Jiazhidian Bachelor.

However, facing this appointment, Qiao Zhizhi was not too tempted. He knew that the imperial court only valued his reputation among scholars. Although such an appointment was expensive, it was not his long-cherished wish after all.

Now Di Renjie and others who are in power in the country are focusing on health preservation, and the imperial court may not make any major moves in the military.He is already over 50 years old, if he continues to stay in the imperial court to hang out with his qualifications, he may be able to wear a purple robe in this life.But he himself is not lacking in honor and wealth, after all, he still hopes that he can display the long-standing ambitions in his heart in his lifetime.

It is difficult for the imperial court to give him such an opportunity, but King Yong can.King Yong didn't regard him as a simple courtier, and he had a lot of appreciation for some of his border affairs strategies in the previous meetings and conversations, and now he was awarded the military post of Beiting. Qiao Zhizhi didn't intend to miss this opportunity.

Hearing what Qiao Zhizhi said, everyone present couldn't help sighing, their moods were complicated, including envy for Qiao Zhizhi and resentment towards the court.

Most of them also participated in the previous elections held by the imperial court but were dismissed, and Qiao Zhizhi did not participate in the elections but was appointed, and he gave up his beautiful post instead.

Some people can't ask for it, and some people don't hesitate to get it.Putting aside the emotions about their respective situations, this in itself also shows that the imperial court was unreasonable in selecting scholars.

"The imperial court doesn't say it can't win people, but it's actually not good at being a scholar..."

Suddenly, someone uttered such a sigh of emotion, expressing the hearts of everyone.

However, as soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly became weird, and there was no sound for a while.The reason for this is that the owner of the source of this sentence is at the banquet.

Chen Ziang is 35 and [-] years old, he is in the prime of life and full of energy, and he usually gives people the same impression. He has a bold personality and vigorous speech, and he can often convince people around him. No matter where he is, he can Soon become a focal point.

However, today's Chen Ziang was much more silent. His not-so-tall body was curled up in the seat, looking a bit stooped. He didn't open his mouth when everyone was talking about many topics.

At this time, someone quoted what he said earlier, and everyone looked at Chen Ziang again, and there was no lack of sympathy.Chen Zi'ang also noticed the gazes of the crowd, he raised his glass and said with a smile: "Everyone express your feelings, don't take care of me as an idiot. With the clear liquid in this cup, I can communicate with Du Kang."

While speaking, he drank the wine in the glass again. Due to the violent action, some liquid flowed into the beard under the chin along the corner of his mouth. He did not wipe it, but stopped the glass to signal the waiter to refill it.

Seeing Chen Ziang so depressed, the sympathy in everyone's eyes grew stronger, but they didn't know what to say for a while.Chen Ziang was convicted for his words and received a bad comment from the emperor for "forcibly resigning evil talents". Even if he was not deprived of his official title, his political life could be regarded as a complete end.

Everyone present, including Qiao Zhizhi, may have a low reputation among scholars, but they are all still waiting for someone to choose, they are not in the position, and it is impossible to say that they can give Chen Ziang any substantive help.

Seeing that Chen Ziang was still drinking heavily, Qiao Zhizhi quickly got up and held down his wine glass, but before he could speak, a servant came rushing in to report the matter.Hearing the family report, Qiao Zhizhi's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly grabbed Chen Zi'ang's wrist and said in a low voice, "Boyu don't drink any more, change your shirt quickly, get rid of the alcohol, and lead you to see the real master who can accommodate your talents." !"

Chapter 0687 nine tunes for employment, Tubo slightly soil

Although the Qujiang Gathering was a place for common people to enjoy together, and many dignitaries and gardens were open for the public to visit freely, but this is not the case in all areas.

The Furong Garden on the north bank of Qujiang Pond is still in a semi-closed state, only a part of the gardens near the south of Qujiang is open, and there are still armored soldiers stationed in the pavilions and palaces inside, so that King Yong can visit at any time, or climb the tower to watch operas, Or treat distinguished guests.

It's just that after King Yong returned to Beijing from Longbian, he was also busy with affairs. Although he heard that the Qujiang rally was not a small one, he just told the officials in the Xingtai to do a good job of security and not to be very happy. He didn't have much time to come here. Have fun watching the show.

So today, when the Xingtai informed that His Royal Highness King Yong would come here to watch the opera, the Xingtai generals stationed in the area around Qujiang Lake were also very nervous. Just treat it normally, keep the outside loose and the inside tight, to ensure that His Highness King Yong can feel the atmosphere of the Qujiang rally without being disturbed.

Fortunately, during this period of time in Xingtai, a lot of attention has been paid to the Qujiang rally. After all, during this period of time, the people gathered around Qujiang have at least [-] to [-] people, and quite a few of them are not For the locals in Chang'an, it is a great test for them to keep their senses in such a warm atmosphere and abide by various prohibitions.

So now the surrounding area of ​​Qujiang Pond seems to be prosperous and lively, but there is also a chilling side.In the south of the city, at Duqu's least mausoleum, half of the troops of the Eighth Armies outside Chang'an City were stationed, with a total of [-] soldiers standing by day and night.

In addition, there are Marquis Wu and unscrupulous people gathered by various workshops in the two counties, who either patrol in teams or investigate evil in plain clothes.In addition, on the Leyou Plain in the east of the city, there are still elite cavalry from the First Army of the Fourth Army on standby.

As for the multiplication of guards at Zhucheng Gate, this is a basic defense operation.

On the surface, the Qujiang rally seemed to be full of excitement, a scene of prosperity and jubilation, but the manpower and material resources invested in it were also massive.There are more than [-] people who are dispatched directly and are on standby at any time. Coupled with the cooperation of other aspects, a lively but not chaotic scene is created.

In fact, Xingtai has also discussed for a long time whether to allow such a large-scale willful gathering of the people.Many people feel that it is of little significance, and there are many hidden dangers in the process, so it is really unnecessary.

But in the end, it was His Royal Highness King Yong who made the decision to start it, not to show off the politics of Taiwan, but purely because he felt that the people of Chang'an had suffered a lot in the past two years.

A riot left the city of Chang'an in a state of depression. Afterwards, various military operations were maintained mainly through the sanction of noble houses and the mobilization of merchants' material resources, but it cannot be said that the people of Chang'an did not contribute at all.They also all endured great labor pressure, and it was only because the various relief methods in Xingtai were generous that the people's hearts would not be tired.

Spiritual pleasure is irrelevant to high or low status. To survive the most difficult initial period, Li Tong should not only praise the hard work of him and all those involved in the industry. The contributions of the people in the pass are also indispensable.

Right now there is no noise inside, no war outside, since Xingtai has the spare capacity, it should let the people relax.Even if the tone of life is still gloomy, at least the scene of gathering and having fun in the past few days can be regarded as a rare brilliance.

Therefore, under Li Tong's instruction, although Xingtai made overall plans for this, and even personally interviewed some of the honorable families to open up the gardens near Qujiang Pond to divert the public, Xingtai officials did not Organize any large-scale activities.

Even the Pingkang Art Club organized by his wife Yang Li, Li Tong didn't let it hold any large-scale performances, but only let the actors go to each house to invite them to perform on stage.After all, Chang'an and even the entire Shaanxi Province are full of people who stare and want to curry favor with King Yong, but they can't get along. Once the prefect's children play this kind of fun, it is inevitable that the dignitaries will gather to have fun, and the people will have a backlog of fun.

Any gatherings and celebrations on the Xingtai can be extravagant at any time, but the Shangsi Festival is a rare day for the common people throughout the year.The cultivated land is newly plowed, the spring planting is first planted, and after a few days of fun, it will start to be busy in summer and harvest in autumn, and it will be tiring all year round.Therefore, Xingtai does not have to rush to create a sense of presence in such a season, and let the people enjoy themselves.

In fact, the one yearly ritual day that cares most about ordinary people is the Shangyuan Festival.This season is the most leisurely period after the sacrificial ceremony is over and the spring plow is not grinding.Therefore, the curfew in the two capitals, which has not been relaxed throughout the year, was also lifted around the Shangyuan Festival.

But it's a pity that this year's Shangyuan Festival happened again when there was trouble in Tubo. King Yong left Beijing and went to Longshang again. He and Tubo talked about each other's mausoleum. Chang'an city could only continue to maintain the curfew around the Spring Festival .

Regarding this point, not only the people of Chang'an City complained, but even Li Tong himself had deep complaints.After coming to this world, due to various reasons, he has not been able to witness and experience the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival. Several poems about the Lantern Festival are almost rotten in his stomach. .

If there were still all kinds of force majeure in previous years, then this year it was purely Qinling looking for trouble.Each of them knew that after the Battle of Qinghai, it would be very difficult for the two sides to engage in another large-scale battle in a short period of time, but Qinling still sent people to harass the land of the nine bends of the Yellow River, and shouted very angry slogans, saying that King Yong of the Tang Dynasty used nine The place of song is to hire and marry the princess of Tubo.Now that the princess has entered Beijing, he will accept the dowry according to the agreement.

If Qinling raised troops to make noise for other reasons, Li Tong would not bother to bother, but it was really hard to ignore this reason.If Ye Ali, the princess of the Fan Kingdom, didn't have such a high degree of cooperation, she would simply be repatriated directly. You Tubo women are inlaid with gold. You dog paw!

But Ye Ali was knowledgeable and interesting, and actively cooperated with Xingtai's long-term plan about Xikang. Of course, Li Tong could not allow Qin Ling to use his card to bluff and deceive, so he simply took Ye Ali to Long personally to denounce him, which was considered an overstatement I got a mouthful.

So this time the real situation of Longbian's victory is that Li Tong called Qinling in the name of Princess Ye Alifan: "Fuck me, come here!"And Qin Ling also responded quite forcefully: I just can't go there.

In addition to arguing with Qinling, Li Tong's trip to Long this time was mainly to meet the heads of the Hu chiefs. It was true that the princess of the Fan kingdom had entered the Tang Dynasty to seek peace, but the marriage was a fiction.As for the current confrontation between Tubo and Datang around Qinghai, it is purely Qinling's own assertion in order to consolidate his power.

In short, I just try my best to discredit Qinling. He is a complete bastard who coerces the king internally and humiliates the Hu people outside. He is the chief culprit who destroys the peace of the region. Both sides are enemies with Tubo!

But not to mention how effective Li Tong's strategy of isolating Qinling was, the Hu chiefs were obviously more concerned about Qinling's propaganda, regardless of whether there was a betrothal gift or not, the joy of offering a daughter.After all, even Tibetans do this, and they are not ashamed to do so.

Although Li Tong had the ambition to sacrifice his life for the country, he couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw the swarms of Hu Niangzi soldiers, so that he didn't have time to preside over some defense adjustments related to the Nine Songs of the Yellow River, so he returned to Guanzhong in a hurry.Lao Tzu has a huge army, and he takes the straight, how can he be Habs Lee!

As for coming to Qujiang today, it is not just a leisurely pastime, but to receive a distinguished guest from the capital of God.

With Li Tong's current status, there are only a handful of distinguished guests in the entire Tang Dynasty who are worthy of his personal reception, but this visitor from the gods is also worthy of this treatment.

The visitor was not a stranger, but Li Qianli, the eldest son of Li Ke, king of Wu, who was one of the two licking dogs of Li Tang's clan along with Li Tong during the anniversary of Wu.

When Li Tang's clan was persecuted on a large scale, especially when Gaozong Li Zhi's descendants had almost disappeared except for Wu Zetian's blood, Li Qianli, as Li Ke's eldest son and Taizong's grandson, can definitely be called the clan Elderly.

No matter how much Li Tong entrusted him, he must pay attention to Li Qianli's arrival, and it was his duty to receive him personally.Not to mention, there is an almost comradely understanding between him and Li Qianli.

Li Qianli is not young, he is close to fifty years old. As for his actual age, he looks older, with wrinkles on his face, his beard and hair are mixed with gray and white, and he looks older than his actual age.

But in terms of appearance, he is still dignified and dignified. It can be seen that he has good genes. When he was young, he might have the audacity to ask King Yong or me which is more beautiful.From this, it can be inferred that his father, Li Ke, should have had a good demeanor back then, but after all, he still did not escape the tricks of fate.

In the past, the two scumbags of the Li family met in Xijing now, but there was no feeling of sympathy for each other.One is because of the disparity in status and power between the two, and the other is because of the mission Li Qianli has come to Xijing this time.

After the revolution in Shendu, Li Tang's clan who had been scattered all over the world returned to the capital one after another, and they all received pensions and appointments from the court, and some even took the position of prime minister.

But Li Qianli does not belong to the list of income, after all, he always has to pay back when he comes out to hang out.Because of his positive attitude, Li Qianli did not do badly in the Wu Zhou Dynasty. Not only did he not suffer any persecution, but he also served as the governor of the state government.

After the revolution in Shendu, although Li Qianli was called back to the imperial court, he only received a loose title of regular servant on a loose horse, and he didn't even have an actual official position.And now his title is not the heir to the King of Wu, but just a Yulin County King whose fiefdom Li Tong doesn't even know.

But this time when Li Qianli came to Chang'an, he took on the official position of a young mansion supervisor. As for his mission, he came to collect debts, to collect from Xingtai last year's Autumn Fu that should have been released last year but has not been found yet. .

Therefore, Li Tong should give Li Qianli a solemn reception.Although it is said that from ancient times to the present, the uncle is the one who owes the debt, but it is always necessary to save face.

Chapter 0688 The country is settled, His Royal Highness has made great contributions

When Li Tong came to Furong Garden, he found out that the imperial garden had been renamed Hanyu Garden.At first I didn't understand it, but after thinking about it for a while, I realized that it was to avoid the taboo of his aunt Fang.Fang's boudoir name is Furong, so Xingtai made such a move.

Taboos about this kind of thing are divided into national taboos and family taboos.Needless to say about national taboos, for example, at the end of the Zhenguan period, one of the six ministries was changed to the Ministry of Households.Also, after Li Tong came to Datang, he hadn't seen a fully written word "治".It is not only the living emperors who have to avoid the taboo, but when they met Wu Zetian, who was poor and fastidious, they changed the names of Huazhou and Huashan during the Chui Gong period to avoid the taboo of her grandfather Wu Hua.

Family taboos are much more complicated. The names of parents and children must be tabooed.For example, Li Tong didn't pay much attention to this aspect at the beginning, and often uttered the word "virtuous" when talking with people, but under the reminder of the indirect remarks of the officials, he could not speak the word "virtuous" outright for several years.

Even though he still belonged to his uncle Li Hong, the taboo of his biological father was still unavoidable, so that the staff members of the stage had to avoid a few words as much as possible, even if they had to write, Need a pen.

There were a lot of anecdotes about family taboos during the Wei and Jin dynasties. After all, in that era when the family was overly powerful, maintaining the dignity of a family was the greatest responsibility of family members.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty was not without it. The most famous one is Li He who died young.Li He's experience is completely typical of a young man who is too talented and too sharp to be envied by the crowd.

Although it is said that imperial examinations were not the only way to become an official in the Tang Dynasty, Li He also entered the official position through his family in the end, but his official career was stranded because of this.After all, he does not have such an outstanding family background as Li Deyu, so he can completely ignore or even disdain the blessings brought by his background in imperial examinations to his official career.

In short, there are too many stories about the etiquette of avoiding taboos, ranging from the small to the future of bad guys to the big to attack dissidents.When the barbarians came to power in the Qing Dynasty, it became one of the main means for the rulers to suppress intellectual groups, and there were many literary inquisitions caused by taboo avoidance.

As for Xingtai's move to change the name of Furong Garden, this is dispensable.After all, as the concubine of Prince Lu, Fang's family has not reached the level of national taboo.For family taboos, it is more about self-restraint. For example, Du Fu never chanted Begonia poems all his life.

Li Tong himself is not very sensitive to taboos and the like, but Xingtai even considers such details. It can only be said that everything in Xingtai is indeed on the right track now, and even King Yong's words and deeds are somewhat informal. Everywhere, there are special personnel to check for omissions and make up for omissions, so as to avoid being nitpicking.

Whether it is Furong Garden or Hanyu Garden, it is nothing more than a lotus pond.In the Hanyu Garden, canals were dug to divert the water from the Qujiang River to rebuild a large pond, and all the pavilions and buildings were built near the pond.The section of channel connecting with Qujiang Pond is an area open to the outside world, and as far as it goes, no idlers are allowed to enter or leave.
