Crown Tang emperor

"The young master actually became the little king's long history. This is really, really great! The old man's Taishi Ling is famous. I have heard since I was a child that the fairy wind is hard to look at, and it is annoying!"

While speaking, Li Shouli had already leaned in front of Li Xianzong's seat, with a warm smile almost overflowing his neck: "Xiao Wang loves the fairy tales, and I sometimes feel light-hearted. Please tell me about the divination for me, young master. Is it true?" What kind of fairy spirit and wisdom bones are drowned in flesh and blood? Ask about fairy things, don’t be polite, young master, come and give me fairy eyes..."

While speaking, he had already grabbed Li Xianzong's wrist and pressed it against his ribs, with an earnest and sincere expression on his face.Li Xianzong's demeanor was unbearable, with an embarrassed expression on his face, he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Li Shouli held it tightly: "Touch it, take a look..."

In Xi Fuzuo, he didn't think the young king was rude. Li Chunfeng was really famous. They were also very curious about this immortal descendant with a long family background. But they all stared wide-eyed to see what kind of magic Li Xianzong could perform.

"Your Majesty loves you wrongly, it's really embarrassing for the humble official. The humble official is stupid and rude, and is often ashamed of his ancestors. He really doesn't dare to boast about strange things and play tricks for favor..."

The young king's enthusiasm really made Li Xianzong feel unbearable, he faltered and smiled bitterly, feeling even more embarrassed.

"The young master is too modest, and he has been bathed in the fairy wind for a long time, so he is no different from the vulgar! I live close for a while, and I feel that my bones are light!"

Li Shouli simply squeezed into Li Xianzong's seat and sat side by side, looking down at Li Xianzong's slender white fingers, his eyebrows and eyes were even more surprised: "Everyone, look at the smoothness of the young master's jade fingers, which is not something ordinary people can have! The wind swallows the breath, the fireworks do not touch..."

Infected by the young king's yelling, the rest of the assistants also gradually lost their restraint. They approached each other, trying to find some topics to talk to Li Xianzong. The attitude of respecting Fangwai's immortals was really not fake.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Li Tong felt that Li Shouli was really a scum of his family. After all, his family recognized the Supreme Lord as their ancestor, and they also had status in the fairy world.All the people in the palace are circling around Li Xianzong. Is it because I am not handsome, or do you want to ascend to heaven now?

Putting aside these gimmicks, although Li Tong was a little disappointed that he could no longer tease Fengge's tiger skin, he had to admit that Li Xianzong's appointment to serve in the mansion did give their palace some core competitiveness.

"The mansion is still simple, leisurely and leisurely, and there are few common etiquettes. The young master is a newcomer, so you should be rude. Please forgive me, young master."

Li Tong left the table, pulled up Li Shouli who was forcibly entwining Li Xianzong, and smiled at Li Xianzong.

Li Xianzong also quickly stood up and bowed, looked at the King of Hedong and said: "Your Majesty is elegant and interesting, and there are many great opinions in the halls. It is a great honor for me to serve in the government with a lowly position. I have inherited the ancestral shadow and dare not call it mysterious. The skills I have learned Counting all kinds of things is not a miracle, but the scale is elegant, and I am asking the king."

Chapter 0113

Hearing Li Xianzong's stern explanation, Li Tong couldn't help but smile again.

Things that people don't understand are often discussed as supernatural, and this phenomenon is the same in ancient and modern times.

Li Tong's later generations often hear people say that the end of science is theology. It doesn't matter whether this is true or not. After all, my life has a limit, and my knowledge has no limit. Standing at the end of the known world's laws, there are still endless unknowns in front of me. The emotion is not surprising.

But it always feels a little weird to start talking about theology at the end of the line when you're only two steps away from the starting line of science.

Li Chunfeng's "Tui Bei Tu" is magical, and Li Tong doesn't know much about it, so he dare not comment lightly.But even if these mysteries are put aside, it is indeed an indisputable fact that he has made great achievements in astronomy and calendar, arithmetic, arithmetic, and literature and history, and has made great contributions.

The people in the palace, especially Li Shouli's exaggerated appearance, probably happened to Li Xianzong often, so he opened his mouth to explain that the family calendar and the study of magic numbers are not equivalent to the alchemy of immortals.Moreover, his grandfather and father were both Taishi Ling, so they have a family tradition based on reality, not a style of boasting mysterious and showing off magic.

But even if Li Xianzong had already explained it bluntly, thinking about it, the effect should not be great.After all, his grandfather was still well-known for his alchemy. Astronomy, calendar and other knowledge are still difficult for ordinary people to understand: Haotian has a great way, which can be interpreted with human eyes. What is it if it is not a fairy method?

Even Li Tong, to be honest, wanted to raise his hand to touch Li Xianzong and get a taste of the immortal energy, maybe he could cure diseases and avoid disasters, even if it didn't work, there was no loss, and he could feel at ease.

Because of Li Xianzong's arrival, the palace specially prepared a banquet to welcome him.In addition to the three kings and the attendants, some rich neighbors also sent people to the meeting, and even Taoist temples inside and outside the city of Shendu sent people to visit the palace.

Empress Wu came to the court, and although she vigorously supported the monks, Taoism had been the state religion of Li and Tang for decades.

For example, the largest Hongdao Temple in Shendu City is located in Xiuwenfang on the east side of Tianjie, occupying an entire square. It was originally the Yongwang residence of the old house of Li Tong's family.In the old year, his deceased father Li Xianli became the prince, so he donated the old house as a Taoist temple. It is still the crown of the Taoist temple in Shendu. Famous Taoist priests such as Pan Shizheng and Guo Chongzhen once preached here. this.

Before the three kings came out of the court, the disturbance caused by the people was still small, but as the god emperor specially granted Li Xianzong as the history of Yongwang's mansion, it also caused quite a stir in the religious circles.Just as it was near the Dragon Boat Festival, a Taoist official from Hongdao Temple came to the door and offered to do some prayer ceremonies for King Yong.

Regardless of whether it is mysterious or not, Li Tong is actually not very willing to have any in-depth contact with religious people.In addition to being prone to breed disgust and sneakiness, another reason is that it is too expensive.

For example, this time when Taoist officials from the Hongdao Temple came to the door, the most violent reaction was from the concubine Fang, who directly donated nearly a thousand pieces of brocade, hoping to accumulate good fortune for the ancestors.Not to mention the effect of these praying ceremonies, anyway, this wealth is really broken.

Li Tong was able to guard against his brother's prodigal family, but he couldn't prevent his mother from burning money, so he felt very upset, so he had to smile and order his servants to pack these brocade goods into the car and send them to Hongdao Temple.

Seeing that the amount of money on the books has decreased by a large amount, Li Tong can't help guessing maliciously that the reason why his grandmother sent Li Xianzong, a religious person, to his home is probably because he wanted to use these religious rituals to consume his small treasury, so as to prevent Let him accumulate money and food, recruit soldiers and buy horses.

In addition to these gimmicks, Li Tong probably also grasped his grandma's attitude towards their brother Fangju.For example, he asked Wang Hewang to be the chief historian of the palace with a shy face, hoping to use the tiger skin of Fengge to scare people, which is not allowed with his grandma.

Wu Zetian replaced Wang Hewang with Li Xianzong, which basically defined a scope of daily friendship for the three kings: "Honestly engage in some external health preservation, and stay at ease, don't rashly rush into the current situation to cause trouble for me !"

Although Li Tong was a little upset that Wang Hewang was replaced, he also understood that it didn't matter how he felt as a little milk cat.

His grandma was willing to pay a little attention to his family in the midst of her busy schedule, which was very rare, probably because he had persuaded Xue Huaiyi to make peace and not leave.And at such a sensitive moment, it is indeed one of the few ways for their brothers to live in seclusion and seek peace.

Thinking of this, Li Tong had to be thankful that his grandma still sent Li Xianzong.Li Chunfeng's lineage of Taoism is relatively decent. He does some research on astronomy, calendar, mathematics, classics and history. If he sends a few alchemy priests, he will be caught blind.

Together with the alchemy furnace, gold and silver are turned into ashes. Alchemy is a money-burning activity. Besides, his grandma has said so.After refining the pill, what if he is asked to take the trial pill?

Li Tong cherishes his life so much that he doesn't even dare to eat sashimi every day, let alone eat those furnace bottom ash with unknown ingredients.

Besides, he's young and strong, so it's okay to eat a little bit. If he really wants to eat his grandma, his uncles must be so beautiful that their noses are bubbling: "The little bastard has bad intentions, and actually put my mother Poisoned to death. Kill him! Let our Datang Sheji get back on track."

So this kind of thing is absolutely not to be done, Li Tong thinks very clearly, although it is trembling to spend time under the kindness of his grandma, but if his uncle is really in power, he will be even more doomed.

Now that Wu Zhou is in the Tang Dynasty, assets are being reorganized, and people's hearts will inevitably be scattered. Maybe he can pick up some of the three melons and two dates.If the emperor really wants to return to the throne, and the inside and outside are united, the three brothers are the sons of the former prince Li Xian, which is really an eyesore.

After welcoming Li Xianzong, Li Tong returned to Wang's residence, and just after passing the Yimen Gate, he saw the nanny Zheng Jin walking towards him, and said with a smile: "Auntie also wants to come to the mansion to ask Li Shaoshi about his future?"

After Zheng Jin heard the words, he chuckled: "I have no hope for the future. I have been close to Ah Lang all my life. The young master is immortal and noble, so I don't want to be tainted by ordinary life."

While speaking, she followed Langjun into the middle hall, waved her hands away and turned away the servants, and then approached and said in a lower tone: "I want to ask, Ah Lang, when will the Daoist Master come to set up an altar? Corruption is always unlucky, so we should get rid of the foul smell as soon as possible, so that we can live in peace!"

When Zheng Jin said this, Li Tong thought of the money he lost just now, and felt even more distressed, and said viciously: "Let them come on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, open the altar and sing a big show for three days and three nights, and clean the inside and outside. !"

"Praying for blessings during the fasting ceremony is not a joke!"

Zheng Jin's expression was dignified, and he seemed to scold Li Tong for his immodest attitude, and then he began to mutter to himself: "Jiang'an Wang's family is too undignified, and it is inevitable that filth will accumulate. These days I often visit private households, Heard a lot of old gossip..."

Zheng Jinjiu was already well-informed in Da Nei, but now that he has settled down in the workshop, he has lost many constraints and has become a veritable Zheng inquirer. In just a few days, he has already mastered the personnel affairs in the workshop.

What she said about Jiang Wang Li Yuanxiang's family being undignified was not casual slander. Li Yuanxiang himself was famous for corruption and violence.Then contacted last year when the family suffered a catastrophe, this mansion really looks like a haunted house.

Ghosts and gods are different, although Li Tong is not obsessed with it, but when he heard Zheng Jin's nagging, he felt a little nervous in his heart, and felt that it would be better to do some rituals, after all, he could get a psychological comfort, not to mention paying for it up.

"Actually, there is actually one thing that I didn't dare to tell Alang earlier. Now that the Daoist Daoist wants to visit and set up an altar, he has no scruples..."

When Zheng Jin said this, there was a bit of apprehension and fear on his face: "Ah Lang, do you know why you were not allowed to go to the West Garden a few days ago?"

"Is it not that the garden is barren and lacks tidying up?"

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help being curious.

His royal residence is long and narrow from left to right, covering an area of ​​more than 30 mu, of which the residential buildings only take up half, and the other half is a garden villa, with the front house and the back garden, which is also the usual layout of dignified residences.

Li Tong is a single dog, and his parents and younger sisters all live in Li Shouli's Yongwang Mansion. Even with the addition of internal and external servants, the scale of this mansion is more than sufficient.

He wanted to take a stroll in the West Garden before, to see if he could adjust the layout, do gardening construction, and use it for banqueting guests in the future.However, Zheng Jin stopped him by saying that the garden villa was barren and not worth much, and it was not an important matter, so he did not go over it, but asked Zheng Jin to arrange for his family to tidy up.Listening now, it seems that there is something else hidden.

"Actually, it's because there are ghosts in the garden... I'm afraid that Alang will cause pollution when he enters the garden."

Zheng Jin's face became more solemn when he talked about this: "The day before yesterday, Hibono asked, and it is said that there may have been some violent deaths in the old Jiang'an Wang's family, and they were all buried in the West Garden..."

After hearing the words, Li Tong frowned immediately: "Is there a ghost? Has my aunt seen it, or has someone else seen it? How many outsiders know about this?"

"How dare you let outsiders know about it! I arranged servants to clean up the filth earlier. At night, someone secretly reported that they heard ghosts crying. I sealed off the garden villa, and no one else was allowed to enter. I also put chickens and geese inside. Go and find only a few feathers scattered..."

When Zheng Jin talked about this, his face turned pale, which showed that he was really terrified.

However, Li Tong frowned when he heard this.The way he came to this world was not lacking in monsters, so he was naturally sensitive to it. After fully realizing that the world was perverse, he kept a respectful distance and didn't want to be contaminated, but he didn't expect that such monsters would happen again in his own mansion.

"It's better to be cautious, or not to let outsiders know."

Li Tong first approved of Zheng Jin's approach, but he still felt uneasy in his heart. After pondering for a while, he said, "Call Ah Jiu, let's take a look."

"Ah Lang don't want it! We'd better wait until the ceremony is finished..."

"Just take a look. If the real gods and ghosts are monstrous and unstoppable, the front house may not be safe."

In the end, Li Tong didn't have much awe of the so-called supernatural phenomena, and the reason why he stayed away from them was because he was afraid of making things difficult and framed by human feelings derived from them.It's best to find out what's going on before those professionals come to do it, and have a spectrum in mind.

0114 - River of Friendship

Zheng Jin saw that he could not stop Mr. Lang, and was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he said again: "Although Ah Jiu is strong and strong, he is not a pure yang after all, it is best to invite the outer court to join him."

"No need, Auntie forgot, I also have Xiangrui's body."

As Li Tong said, he flicked the Yongchang jade coin on his waist. He just wanted to find out what was going on while keeping the secret as much as possible. Whether it was a ghost or a supernatural event, how could a group of people rush in noisy.

Zheng Jin looked down at the Yongchang jade coin, feeling a little more at ease, but still told Li Tong to wait a while, and she hurried out again, looking for peach charms and other evil spirits for Mr. Lang to put away.

So the three formed a ghost hunting team and went straight to the west garden inside the mansion.

Li Tong's mansion is located in the southwest corner of Lushunfang. Yishui flows eastward from his mansion. A lake and pond covering an area of ​​seven or eight acres is built next to the pond.

Regardless of other things, Li Tong's mansion is really good in terms of scenery alone.Among the canals in Shendu, Yishui is the clearest. Its water flows into the city from the east and west squares of Changxiamen in two channels, and then merges into a first-class in the west of Jixian square in the city, and continues to flow eastward.

Bai Juyi's "Chi Shang Pian" has: the prosperity of the capital city's soil, water and trees is in the southeast corner, the prosperity of the southeast is in the road, and the prosperity of the li is in the northwest corner.This is showing off his Ludaofang mansion.

The site of Ludaofang is in the south of Lushunfang. In other words, the mansion that Bai Juyi admired for its beauty is located on the south side of Litong River East King's Mansion. The two houses are only separated by a river. The beauty of the Riverside King's Mansion is needless to say. .Bai Juyi's mansion covers an area of ​​only seventeen acres, and the Hedong King's mansion is more than double the size of his home.

In the mid-Tang Dynasty, Yuan Zhen, Bai Juyi's good friend, lived in Luxinfang, and they sang and kept singing together in Yishui.Thinking of these humanistic stories, Li Tong has a bit of a sense of evil that a third party intervenes.

Passing through the courtyard on the left side, the three of them arrived outside the West Garden.No servants are arranged to live here, which shows that Zheng Jin has a great sense of secrecy.

A long corridor separates the courtyard, and another north-south brick wall separates the garden from the residence.Now it’s mid-summer in May, the fruit trees are luxuriant, the peach blossoms are scattered, and some branches have already hung fruits, which are blue and red, and the fruit fragrance is attractive.

Li Tong was about to step over the arch, but was held back by Zheng Jin: "Ah Lang really wants to..."

"There is no reason why you dare not enter your own courtyard."

Li Tong smiled slightly, then went to the expert again.

There is a path paved with blue stones in the garden. Apart from peaches and plums behind the wall, there is a bamboo forest at first sight. The green bamboos are upright and lush.Between the bamboo groves, there are patches of gardens, in which some flowers and trees are planted, or cattail grass grows.

But it can also be seen that it is indeed lack of care, the vegetation is luxuriant, too prosperous, and there are even melons and vines crawling on the stone path, and some melons and fruits have grown to the size of a fist.

Passing through the bamboo forest, the field of vision gradually becomes brighter. There are weeping willows growing by the water, and the long and narrow garden is clear to the bottom. There are stone dikes, rockery, gazebos and pavilions around the pond.

The garden sill surrounded by wood and stones is covered with moss, and there are untrimmed flowers and trees growing wantonly in the sill. There are common flowers such as peonies and peonies, as well as flower species that Li Tong can't identify, all of which are in full bloom.

The pool formed by Yishui entering the garden occupies one-third of the entire garden. There is a three-story pavilion in the north corner of the garden. There are rooms on both sides of the pavilion. Outside the building is a peach forest. , the pavilion overlooks the various landscapes.

However, the most eye-catching feature in the garden is the small islet formed by piles of earth and rocks in the center of the garden. Li Tong found that Tang people especially liked this kind of river island surrounded by water.Shendu Garden, Jiuzhou Pool, including Taoguang Garden in the south of Xuanwu Gate, and even the Tianjin Bridge across Luoshui River are all located on two north-south symmetrical river islands in the river.

Such a river island is surrounded by water on all sides, and besides its privacy, it also has the scenery of water and woods. Building houses on it and living by the water can be described as a pleasant scenery.

The area of ​​the river island in the garden is not very large. From a distance, it should be between two and three acres, showing an oval shape.There are dense calamus growing in the part connected to the pool water, and there is a front and back cornice pavilion in the north. Because of the vegetation cover, standing on the bank can not see the whole picture of the river island.

Seeing Mr. Lang walking towards the trestle bridge connecting Hezhou, Zheng Jin's expression became tense again, and he said in a low voice, "Ah Jiu, follow up quickly, and you must protect the king! The poultry was raised here earlier, and it will disappear after one night." trace……"

Zheng Jin's nervousness also made Yang Sixuan feel uneasy, the bamboo stick in his hand creaked, and he followed closely behind the king, breathing heavily into the back of Li Tong's head, so that Li Tong became pale. Feeling a little nervous: "Jiu, step back, I always feel that the ghost is breathing behind me."

Hearing what the king said, Yang Sixuan's face collapsed, revealing an embarrassing expression that seemed to be crying and laughing. He could only hold back his breath, but he still didn't dare to fall too far behind.

"This garden is really beautiful. If there are no traces, you can live here for a long time to escape the heat."

Li Tong walked onto the trestle bridge while admiring the scenery.

Although the season has not yet officially entered the ambush, the temperature has become hotter.Li Tong's house is adjacent to Yishui, so it is much cooler than other places, but the daily living room also feels hot and stuffy.

In the garden, the vegetation is luxuriant, the flowers are flourishing, there is running water flowing, the water vapor is transpiring, and the cool breeze is blowing, which is much cooler than the front yard.

He was still admiring the scenery here, but Zheng Jin's face became more and more frightened, he leaned closer and grabbed his arm, and said in a trembling voice: "Ah Lang, did you hear that?"

Li Tong listened attentively, and sure enough, there were some sharp sounds mixed with the wind and birdsong, which sounded like whimpers and murmurs, which was very weird.He turned his head to look at Yang Sixu again, only to see that the eunuch Kong Wu also had a nervous expression at the moment, obviously he also heard those strange voices.

"Auntie is not as good as..."

Li Tong originally wanted Zheng Jin to stay for the time being, but he thought that many horror movies started when the group members separated, so he raised his hand and patted Zheng Jin's arm in the crook of his arm, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be nervous, even if there are monsters It’s different, it’s hard to hurt the king, I want to see what kind of monster is pretending to be a ghost!”

While speaking, he quickened his pace and walked straight to the front of the trestle bridge, while carefully distinguishing the direction of the strange sound.

As he walked forward, the strange sound became clearer. Although Zheng Jin was terrified, seeing that the gentleman was still moving forward stubbornly, he gritted his teeth and followed, and tried his best to restrain himself from making a sound.

"what is that?"

When approaching Hezhou, Li Tong saw a corner protruding from the side of the trestle bridge pile, which seemed to be a cage made of green bamboo, and raised his hand.Yang Sixu leaned out of the trestle, hooked it lightly with a bamboo stick, and pulled out a bamboo basket with a big belly and a narrow neck. After the clear water drained out, there were two palm-sized, lively swimming fish in the bamboo basket.

"It's a fishing basket!"

Yang Sixu wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to the king and said, he shook the fish and poured it into the pool water, and found a few soaked and turned white chicken bones at the bottom of the bamboo basket.

"No, it's not set by the house slave..."

Zheng Jin stammered and said: "I entered the garden first, there were not many people, and I noticed it was weird, and I didn't let others enter again. This, who did this?"

Li Tong grabbed the bamboo basket and shook it, and saw that there was a small organ made of thin bamboo tubes at the front of the bamboo basket, similar to a pan flute. He bent down and tried to immerse himself in the water. Make a slight sound.

"Ju, is that so?"

Seeing this scene, Zheng Jin widened his eyes and became a little embarrassed: "Who is it? Dare to make such a tease?"

Li Tong touched the green stubble of the bamboo basket with his finger, and the corners of his mouth also raised. It was obviously not an old thing.He threw the bamboo basket on the trestle bridge, shook off the water stains on his hands: "Go on, let's see what happens today!"

Yang Sixu walked forward, waving the bamboo stick in his hand, sweeping away the reeds that had grown on the bridge, and did not forget to turn his head and tell: "Your Majesty, be careful of slippery feet."

Walking across the trestle bridge and arriving at the river island, the dense reeds flooded the original road.Reeds, a fast-growing aquatic plant, will grow barren if left untreated for a season, making the river island feel barren and dilapidated.

Yang Sixu swung his stick to create a barely feasible path, then turned around and helped the king to walk there. After passing through the reeds, he came to the open space of the river island. On one side was still a garden, and on the other side were the buildings on the river island.Withered weeds and miscellaneous branches are scattered on the flat ground paved with bluestones, and thin bamboos pry up the ground and grow out of the cracks in the stones.
