Crown Tang emperor

The saint is tall and handsome, his appearance is as handsome as a jade carving, his body is wrapped in big sable fur, and the small crown inlaid with gold silk and jade is more noble and handsome. Holding a non-slip ivory stick in his right hand, he walks slowly in the wind and snow In the garden, it is a moving scenery.

There are palace people holding lamps at the front and back, and under the refraction of the light, there is a halo lingering around the whole body. It is not an exaggeration to say that heaven and man are wandering.Anyone who sees this scene will inevitably be engraved in their hearts and will be unforgettable for a long time.Even though he knew that his identities were so disparate that it was difficult to get close, he still couldn't help himself, and couldn't help but follow Changwang.

When the sage entered the imperial garden, his own palace servants came to inform him, and the concubines in the palace also hurriedly got up and stepped down to welcome him.Although they all often have wives and concubines who are close to each other, after seeing the scene of the saint walking in the snow, they all showed obsession for a while.

"It's windy and snowy, and I know my own way, so I don't need ladies to brave the cold to welcome me."

Looking at his ladies with various styles, Li Tong smiled, and was about to raise his hand to hand the small stick to Lego and then climbed up the stairs. Tang Guifei, who had already put on her cloak, had already walked quickly, leaning on the saint's side and turning around The head smiled at the others and said: "When I came, I had already simmered the candied deer in bed, and the sage came to welcome the biography again, so the concubine retired and went back, so as not to disturb the gathering of ladies on snowy nights!"

After saying this, without waiting for the ladies to reply, Tang Lingshu dragged the saint to the imperial garden.This lady already had slender legs, but now she started to walk broadly, even Li Tong staggered a bit, so she turned around and waved to the ladies on the steps, and then was half-dragged away .

"Look at the desperate look of this woman, she is afraid that others will be greedy for her delicious meat and forcefully want a piece of the pie!"

Seeing the sage being dragged away, concubine Hui Yang Li couldn't help stomping her feet and said angrily, rolled up her sleeves and waved her powder fist at the backs of the two who were walking away.

"But Ye Lai can have a mouthful of warm food, and it can indeed appease the stomach..."

Zhaorong Yang Xi'er clasped her slightly protruding belly with both hands, because she was pregnant, she walked a few steps slower than the others, and only had time to see the saint turn around and wave his hands, so she whispered regretfully at this moment.

The concubine Ye Ali was even more straightforward, and had already ordered people to go back to the hall to get the cloak, and said: "A few days ago, the saint was still reciting the medicinal wine native to Xikang, and there was an offering delivered yesterday. Let’s meet at Xianju Palace!”

Hearing the words of the ladies and seeing their eagerness to try again, the queen couldn't help laughing and scolding: "The order of service is fixed, there is no need to disturb people's good nights and dreams. Could it be that the banquet in my palace is so mean that you all have to abandon me?" And go!"

The ladies stopped in embarrassment after hearing this, Yang Li wiped the corners of her mouth, and laughed dryly: "It's just that the snow scene is so provocative!"

The gathering in the Golden Luan Hall continued, and the departing couple were approaching their dormitories.

The walls of the Xianju Palace were already full of snow. After Li Tong stepped into the dormitory, he found a few snow puppets standing in front of the palace. It is a straw man tied up with grass and trees.

"Before going to bed, Rou Niang was clamoring to build a few snowmen tomorrow morning. She was afraid that she would frostbite her hands and feet, so she set up a draftsman to pile up the snow, and it would be ready to shape tomorrow morning. That lady is so stupid, she must not be able to see it!"

Tang Lingshu saw Fulang watching around the straw figures, so he stepped forward to show off his wit.

Li Tong looked at this lady's triumphant expression, and then thought about Li Rouniang's resemblance to his mother's tiger, so he nodded, thinking that this method is good.This one is that as long as my genetic endowment is not high, I can defeat my own flesh and blood with my age.

But it can't be said that my daughter is stupid, at least when she was conceived in the mother's womb, she perfectly avoided her father's IQ inheritance, and she was just like her mother when she was born.

The two walked around a few snowmen to appraise, and then got up and entered the hall.There is indeed a stove in the hall that is still warming the food and drink, but Li Tong thought of the palms that were specially used to meet the cold snow along the way, so he freed up the other hand to hold the lady and walked to the inner room, and said with a smile: "Come on, lady, there is Good things for you!"

"I have it too, I have it too!"

Tang Lingshu was very happy to have a tacit understanding, followed the saint into the inner room, but pushed Fu Lang behind the screen: "Fu Lang, turn your back, don't listen to the call, don't turn around!"

"That should be faster!"

Li Tong stood still as he said, and secretly grabbed the snow ball that was about to melt in his left hand and urged.

There was a rustling sound behind him, which made Li Tong's heart itch, and after a while, he finally heard the lady's voice: "Turn around!"

Li Tong turned around, and saw that the lady had already taken off her cloak, and the jacket and skirt under the group brocade jacket were a little messy, so she didn't have time to look carefully, the lady had already wrapped her arms around his shoulders and said with a chuckle: " Fu Lang sees that my posture is different than usual?"

After some mischievous play, more than half an hour passed.During the period, the palace servants entered the hall to change the soup several times. Li Tong, who hadn't eaten at night, dragged his wife back to the hall hungry.

Both of them changed into new clothes. Tang Lingshu sat beside her husband with a pretty blushing face, her hair hanging down her neck, she was as beautiful as an elf in Yaotai Qiong Palace, with her head tilted to one side. Looking at Fu Lang's face.

It wasn't until Li Tong raised the jade chopsticks and tapped her forehead that she raised her hand to tie up her hair with a ribbon, twisted her body and sat on her side, raised her small face and opened her cherry lips: "Fu Lang feed me!"

The dried meat on the porcelain plate had already been simmered till it became soft. Li Tong picked up a piece to test the temperature, but before he could make any further moves, the lady approached her like a young bird waiting to be fed. Li Tong saw that it was full of attachment. The beauty of the woman made her feel more doting, and she simply hugged the lady around her waist in front of her knees, and shared it with each other.

The dinner was extremely warm, and until the palace servants entered the palace to remove the leftovers, the lady was still in her husband's arms and refused to get up.The two sat side by side, cuddling each other in the hall, admiring the hazy snow scene through the screen window.

After a while, the lady suddenly sighed and said: "When I was in Qianling for the funeral, my husband sometimes sighed and didn't want to go to the world again. At that time, the concubine should ignore everything, tied up my husband and fled to Qinling. We built a hut with bamboo and wood , Fulang is the housekeeper, I go hunting in the mountains, even if I fall and get hurt, I don’t feel sad, because I know that as long as I can go back, Fulang will be waiting for me under the fence..."

When Li Tong heard the lady's words, he felt great emotion in his heart. He held the lady's palm and clasped his fingers tightly, and smiled next to her ear: "One thought is a world, maybe in another world that we missed back then, I am the same as you." The lady has settled down in Qinling Mountains, the lady has been hunting all day long, and when she comes back from exhaustion, she complains that my food is not delicious enough, that I have no ability to weave, and that I was pregnant and lying, and no one gave birth, so I can only drink water to survive..."

"How could it be? Never! Back then when Mr. Xiyuan picked me up, I swore in my heart that if I could keep my face together, I would never meet him with a cold face... When my husband was a concubine at the end of his life, God gave me My good luck is alive!"

When Tang Lingshu heard the tragic scene Fu Lang described, she immediately opened her eyes and defended, as if this happened in someone else's world, which made her heartbroken.

"Isn't the lady a long-term companion and beautiful family bestowed by the heavens? At that time, the power was weak and the future was uncertain. It was just an unattainable delusion for me to build a family and save the country. It's just that there are extremely beloved people waiting for food and clothing in the house, and the lady is my heart. The manifestation of lust.

Whatever a woman in the world has, my wife must have it all!A man's ambition is flying high, and he also needs some encouragement.In this world, there is always a person, a love, who can make people feel ashamed of mediocrity, chase after each other, and achieve a match made in heaven! "

After Tang Lingshu heard these words, mist gathered in her beautiful eyes, and she murmured: "Fu Lang hasn't told me these heart-warming love stories for a long time... Whenever I lie alone at night, I always worry about my concubine's love." After all, is she still Fulang's most beloved little lady? But I have been with you for a longer time, and I owe freshness..."

"There are always renovations in the world, who can stay behind for a long time? A pair of old things are always the most suitable..."

"I, I am not old, and neither is Husband!"

Women are the most secretive about old age, even if they are very emotional, the lady still can't help frowning and retorting, snorting and moaning to ask Li Tong to say something else.

The next day was not morning, and Li Tong didn't plan to go out, so he slept soundly in Xianju Hall.

At three poles in the sun, the sound of children playing in front of the temple sounded.After a while, Li Rouniang cried out in grief and anger outside the dormitory: "Auntie, Auntie, have you woken up yet? Although I am your own, I have been lied to by you, but Daonu and the others are not! They laughed at me for being lazy and used a straw man Being a snowman makes me lose face!"

A man and a woman in the dormitory were woken up. Li Tong grabbed his robe and put on his clothes. The lady sat up on the couch, but she lay back down when she felt sore in her waist and knees. , don’t you know how to subdue people with strength? Pick up the wooden stick in front of the temple, and ask them if you have any face?”

Hearing this, Li Tong raised his hand to give the lady a brain collapse, and shouted to the outside: "Rou Niang, don't be sad, Aye will help you build a snowman."

However, there was no response from outside the room. When Li Tong finished putting on his robe and walked outside the hall, he saw Li Rouniang holding a long wooden stick under his armpit, and Li Daonu stretched out his hand to protect his younger siblings behind him, feeling quite angry Weakly said: "Sister, we believe it! These are all snowmen made of snow that grows like grass and trees, they are real snowmen! Put down the snow pole that looks like a wooden pole first!"

Li Youniang was a little happy at first, but when she heard this, she was so angry that she threw the wooden staff on the ground: "This is a wooden staff, and it is not the same thing as the snow-pile wood! How stupid..."

Seeing the children playing and having a lot of fun, Li Tong's mood became relaxed and happy. He walked down the steps slowly and grabbed the eldest daughter Li Rouniang who was about to turn around and run away when she saw Aye, and snatched the long wooden stick from the little lady's hand.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year, and it is the most joyous scene in the world. Aye happens to be free today, who wants to accompany me to build a snowman in the yard? It's not a snowman that looks like grass and trees, it's made of real snow!"

Li Tong grabbed Li Rouniang, who was still struggling, with one hand, looked at the children in the pavilion and said with a smile.

"I do, I do!"

Although Aye is busy with daily affairs and seldom gets close to his children, the children still cherish the time together with Aye very much. They raised their hands and scrambled to express their opinions, which made Li Tong, an old father, very pleased, and soon got together with his children. They play together.

Chapter 0987 Gaien real estate, husband and wife concentric

The disciples of the Tian family enjoy a lot of material enjoyment, and as long as there are things in this world, there are few things that cannot be obtained.

But there are always things in the world that are beyond the control of the powerful and the money. They may not be precious, but they can still make people feel joy and satisfaction.For example, the magnificent snow scene in the inner garden, and the warm time of family members accompanying each other.

Seeing the heavy snow falling last night, the little dolls had already cheered up their mood. After finally staying up until dawn and the snow stopped, they couldn't help but want to go out to play.What made them even more happy was that instead of stopping them, Aye even took the initiative to participate in their games.

So soon, bursts of joyous singing and laughter sounded in front of the hall.Under the leadership of Aye, the children rolled the snowball without being disturbed by the cold weather after the snow, and soon piled up several shapeless snowdrifts in front of the hall.

The sage and his children were having fun playing, while the eunuchs and palace people standing around were extremely nervous. They were busy setting up tents to block the cold wind, and they were holding the stove and wanted to pass it on. All kinds of antifreeze and warm grease are ready for use.

But most of these efforts were in vain. Even a few palace people who entered the furnace were repelled by the sage, telling the children to play with their hands and feet, so as not to be warm and cold.In the past, the palace people would never dare to let these little ancestors indulge in games like this, but now that the saint is taking the lead, they can only stand on one side with a bitter face.

Finally, with Li Tong's unremitting efforts and the constant help from his sons and daughters, a few rudimentary snowmen were piled up in front of the hall.

Seeing that the little hands of the children exposed to the outside were red from the cold, Li Tong decided that enough was enough, and he greeted a few little guys to walk around in front of the hall for a while, and asked the eunuch to carve the snowman carefully, and then returned to the hall with some unfinished business , and personally smeared the warm ointment on the little hands and red faces of the children.

The concubines and concubines in the inner palace lived close to each other, and when they heard the sound of children playing in the Xianju hall, all the ladies also moved in here one after another.Seeing his own child running around in the snow with Aye, he was both happy and distressed.

Finally, when the children entered the hall, all the ladies greeted them one by one, carefully patted the snow dust on the children, and looked at the saint with coquettish eyes.

Li Tong sat on the rope bed, looked into the eyes of several ladies and said with a smile: "The children were born in the noble family, and they are not lacking in food, clothing and education, but they owe a bit of the stubbornness of the children of the folk family. The little things in the arms don't need to be overly intensive. , but to be able to control everything, I still have to do a bit of casual support for the folks.”

The current medical conditions are naturally not comparable to those of later generations, no matter how noble and rich they are, they cannot compare to the medical security brought about by the advancement of science and technology in later generations.Fortunately, his children are quite gifted and have no premature appearance. Li Tong feels that it is better to raise them casually to enhance their physical fitness and resistance than to avoid the cold and heat and raise them meticulously.

After all, it was the baby born by her own pregnancy in October, all the ladies may not agree with the sage's statement, but seeing the children's high spirits, happy expressions, and more lively than usual, they didn't complain any more.

The whole family chatted in front of the hall for a while, and when the palace people brought ginger soup and hot soup to dispel the cold and invigorate Qi, the imperial concubine Tang Lingshu finally finished her grooming, walked out of the inner room slowly, gathered in the hall to share the soup with the family, and said Not sure if it's breakfast or lunch.

Thinking of the noble concubine dragging the saint away in the snow last night, all the ladies looked at the saint and walked slowly, and their actions were more quiet than usual after sitting down, their eyes couldn't help being a little weird, and there was a shyness in the eyes of the saint when they looked at the saint. It's a bit provocative.

Let's eat the soup, it's almost noon.The children got up early in the morning and vented a lot of energy by playing games with Aye. Now they were sweating all over after eating, and they all yawned and showed their fatigue. They still had to wait for Aye to return. What games are arranged.

In the end, Li Tong just waved his hand, and ordered the palace servants to send the princes and daughters to the nearby warm pavilion for an afternoon nap, leaving only the ladies to accompany him to sit around the hall.

"The layout of the business in the Gaien, can the ladies discuss and come up with a plan?"

After the children had left, Li Tong looked around at the ladies, then turned his eyes to the queen and asked with a smile.

The outer garden in the northeast corner of Daming Palace is vast, it would be a pity if it was just left unused.Li Tong had already developed ideas and measures to develop it. The outer garden is next to the Ouchi Miyagi, and it is not suitable to entrust the outer court to do all the business plans.

After thinking about it for a few days, Li Tong still decided to leave it to the ladies in the palace to do it.All the women have their own interests, and their endowments are not bad, like Yang Li who was the only one in the early years, even if she didn't enter the palace, now she is afraid that she has become a famous female businessman in Beijing and Shu.

As for Ye Ali, it was even more remarkable. He was able to maintain himself in such a dangerous political environment in Tubo, and even Li Tong admired his strong and decisive talent.

Li Tong not only showed affection and bondage to the ladies, but also respected their respective personalities and endowments.

If they want to live in the confinement and just be a leisurely lady, Li Tong will love them very much.But if you feel that the life of leisure in the confinement is too boring, you might as well give them a little space to play and pass the time.

Of course, Li Tong still hopes that they can have some interesting sustenance besides himself in their daily life.After all, where there are many people, there are many disputes. In the limited space of the forbidden center, the contact with personnel and personnel is too narrow, so it is really difficult to maintain an open-minded state of mind.

Li Tong didn't want the inner palace to be full of resentment, the atmosphere in the inner palace is quite harmonious right now, one reason is that the empress who is in charge of the inner palace has a gentle and generous temperament, and she handles things fairly, and the second is the relationship between the ladies and him There is a difficult process of emotional change in the past, not just the combination of power and desire.

But if you want to maintain this atmosphere for a long time, you must manage carefully.The palace rules and regulations cannot be relaxed, so it is advisable to use the leisure space in Gaien as a buffer space for contact and communication with the outside world.

Therefore, apart from the part of the space that he had already decided to use, the rest of the space in Gaien was given to the empress, and some space was given to the concubines to run their own affairs.

The cost of property in the palace is relatively independent of the state's finances. In addition to the annual fixed tributes, the income from the royal garden industry and the palace's creation is also very high.If this part of the money is only accumulated, it will not benefit the national economy and the people's livelihood, and it will also increase the management burden of palace affairs.

When Li Tong first came out of the palace in Luoyang, he obtained considerable financial income through the female officer Xu and the old eunuch Yang Chong.Now, as the master of the palace, he is also vigilant about the supervision of the flow of financial affairs in the palace.

Instead of spending extra personnel for storage supervision, it is better to simply spend part of it to form a cycle.As long as money can flow in an orderly manner, the discovery and supervision of problems can become timely and effective.

Hearing the sage's initiative to ask about this matter, the eyes of the queen and all the concubines became brighter, and they all spoke their thoughts.

As the lord of the harem, the empress is not very enthusiastic about the management of the outer garden, but if the concubines want to operate in the outer garden, they must have the empress's approval, and all the money and people will come from it.

The thought of the sage undoubtedly greatly increased the queen's daily workload.But seeing that all the ladies were looking forward to this and eager to try it, the queen didn't speak out to dissuade her. During this period of time, she discussed with all the ladies and mainly established many new palace rules.

For example, the business of concubines and concubines should not exceed twice the annual salary of the internal product. If the income and expenditure cannot be balanced within two years, then the matter must be stopped.At the same time, even if there is a profit, it must not exceed one time the capital owned each year.

After all, the business in the outer garden is for the sage to care for the boring life of the concubines in the palace, and it is not really to let them go out of the palace to make a living as a merchant.

Moreover, the concubines, as saints and close servants, are born with different identities from the vulgar. They make a living or just for entertainment, but if the purpose is to make profit, even if they are not greedy, they can't supervise the eunuchs who are actually in charge. People pretend to be powerful, and fish and meat market.

The restrictions put forward by the queen are quite fair, and Li Tong also does not want the palace people to use these channels to go out and disrupt the order of the market.After all, the ladies in the palace are not as calm as Shangguan Wan'er outside the palace. If there is no restraint, good things can turn bad.

The ladies are not opposed to these restrictions. If it weren't for the fact that the saint is busy with state affairs and rarely sees him every ten days, they wouldn't even have such thoughts.

There is no pressure to make a profit to support the family, and all the ladies think of their own plans according to their own interests.

For example, Tang Guifei wanted to build a polo field. It was not an intense sport like polo, but games such as Cuju and stick ball, which were also played by women in the palace. In her spare time, she invited several well-connected women from foreign courts. Game in the field.

As for the point of profit, Concubine Tang Gui is planning to arrange some gambling games such as ball games in the field. Seeing that the posture looks like she will end the game in person and win all the wives of the family.

Regarding his wife's ambition, Li Tong didn't think it was arrogance. He was confident that if he really wanted to gamble, his wife might even win those wives.

However, these profit-making methods are still somewhat inappropriate. The polo league originally organized by the palace supervisor has already had many gambling houses building momentum.Although the sage cannot completely ban off-market gambling, he must not advocate it.

Hearing that her profit idea was denied by the sage, Concubine Tang Gui felt a little annoyed, she just felt that her superb skills of winning all over the Sangong Sixth Court were wasted.

But soon the sage gave her a new idea, that is to build a ball equipment workshop with the court, buy idle materials from the palace warehouse, let the craftsmen make them, and sell them around the court.If it can be operated for a long time, although there will be no huge profits, it is still possible to maintain the operation of the market for many years.

Yang Li was originally from a businessman's family, and since she didn't need the guidance of a sage, she had already made a decision to run a clothing store.It just happens to be in conjunction with the operation of the big theater that is being built in the outer garden, so that the vocal actors can wear clothes and bring goods when they perform, so naturally they don't worry about sales.

Fearing that the popularity of ready-made clothing sales would touch the profit line stipulated by the queen, Yang Li even patted her chest and promised that if the business is profitable in the coming year, each piece of clothing will be rewarded to the actors who bring goods.

The concubine Ye Ali was originally involved in the newly opened Fanren City in Anrenfang, and she didn't plan to start a new business in the outer garden. She donated the land she had allotted and proposed that the queen build a Ming Fuyuan in the outer garden.

Even if the concubines are operating in the outer garden, they will only come and go with courtiers and wives on a daily basis.Although there is a Ming Fuyuan in the palace, it is of a ceremonial nature, and the palace is strictly prohibited from entering and leaving.The Gaien built a new outer court for wives, which is also convenient for the wives of the outer dynasty to gather and disperse for recreation.

This proposal naturally won the unanimous approval of the sage and the empress, and when Li Tong saw that the location of the wife's outer courtyard was specially designated by the empress on the north side of the entrance to Yuanfang, Li Tong couldn't help feeling very grateful.Although the queen doesn't like to talk about it in daily life, she knows all kinds of housework details by heart, and she takes care of everything when she arranges affairs.

Yang Xi'er and Wei Tuan'er both entered the palace as teenagers and lived in the forbidden area all year round. They really lacked imagination for making a living in the village, and they couldn't make a plan after thinking hard for many days.

In the end, she got Yang Li's advice. One of them planned to open a brocade garden, which would specialize in selling the remnants of brocade material warehouses donated by Sifang to the palace.The other opened a jewelry shop, which also sold sachets, hairpins, and tins that were forbidden in the Chinese treasury.

In the final analysis, the concubines and concubines make their own livelihoods based on the tribute from the palace treasury.All the tribute paid by the Sifang may not be fully used for the palace. Apart from giving gifts to the honorable ministers, there are still a large amount of surplus sundries in the palace treasury, which have been accumulated over the years, occupying the inventory, and will gradually become useless. things.

Now, by developing the outer garden and instructing the ladies to make their own plans, they are selling to the courtiers and noble families in Beijing and China.The second thing is to buy and sell, and the main thing is to create a relatively high-end living community.

In addition to the space occupied by each of the ladies, Li Tong's conception in the outer garden also includes a large theater and a polo field that have already started construction.

In addition, when playing games with his children today, he also felt that he lacked companionship in their children's childhood life and planned to make up for it, so he planned to build a playground that entertains and educates.

The amusement park is tentatively planned to be a museum of flora and fauna from all over the world, a geography hall with sand tables, an utensil hall with various simple mechanical structures, a puzzle hall with arithmetic and geometry, and books to record the past. There are anecdotes about the virtues of ancient people, and so on.

It is not necessary to build such a playground for the royal children to play games, but it can be opened to the young children of the middle class and common people in Beijing. The personnel experience of the flow contact has a broader and comprehensive growth process, rather than just being raised in the hands of women in the deep palace.

The reason why he wanted to build such a hall was that besides compensating his own children, Li Tong also felt that many senior officials in the court were also busy with public and private affairs, so that the tutoring was so-so.

Building such a hall for their children to play and grow up is also considered a benefit.The whole family of Lao Tzu went to the battle to develop Gaien, not just to bring your family members here to buy and spend.

Li Tong and his wives and concubines have basically divided up the idle garden.When all these ideas are implemented and completed, the outer garden can be renamed Datang Royal Life and Entertainment Plaza, and it is scheduled to be an absolute Gyeonggi landmark.

Chapter 0988 punishment in Germany, not only severity

In the busy atmosphere inside and outside, the time finally came to the twelfth lunar month.

Wangri held a grand dynasty, which meant that the Gouyuan inspection, which had affected the hearts of all the officials in the capital, had finally come to an end, and it meant that the court would finally announce this year's annual rewards.
