Crown Tang emperor

"I, I'm just sad, where is crying? Howling is about grinning and beating your chest, it's so ugly..."

The girl stopped crying, turned her back to the wall, wiped her tears and said, "If you want to send me back to Yang's house, I will run away. If I can't escape, I will tell them that these days, it is your house." Imprison me here... Do you see if you are in trouble? Last year, a king of a family in Beifang was arrested by the government, you can't scare me!"

Li Tong originally had a sense of superiority, but when he heard these words, he suddenly felt his heart collapsed. I, the king of the Li family clan, is worthless, and it has spread so widely. It's really fucking pitiful and wrong!

"Ah Jiu, go out and dig a hole!"

He snorted coldly and strode out of the room.

Yang Sixu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said to the girl: "Little lady, be quiet, or the king will really bury you!"

After finishing speaking, he hurried out of the room, followed behind the king, looked around, pointed to the opposite garden and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to dig there?"

Li Tong glanced at him angrily, but he couldn't help laughing. He turned around and started pacing around Hezhou again. After looking at him for a while, he pointed to the southwest corner of the garden and asked Yang Sixu: "Forbidden Zhonggoufang, what are you doing?" Does it matter, Grandpa? The garden is too wide to be guarded, and raising some bulldogs can also save manpower."

The so-called eagle dogs, there are both eagle houses and dog houses in the forbidden area, and they are raised daily for hunting.Regardless of the girl's identity, she always reminded Li Tong that home security should be paid more attention to.

Although the royal palace also has guards such as marriage and bodyguards, they are all directly selected from the forbidden army. It is difficult to know whether they have been tampered with or planted. After all, his enemies are mainly in the system of the forbidden army in the north and south.Being sneaked into the house is still a small probability event, but if the eyes and ears are deep enough to live, it is really disturbing to sleep and eat.

Li Tong was not at ease letting these people go deep into the house. Thinking about it carefully, at this stage, dogs are more reliable than people.Even if he can't defeat the enemy, at least he can bark twice as a warning, so that he won't be unconscious after being sneaked into the garden for so long.

"Yes, yes, I will contact the ban tomorrow to send it to you?"

Yang Sixu nodded quickly and asked for instructions.

Li Tong nodded, feeling a little better again, feeling that he had regained a bit of an advantage in the game with his grandma: be sure to guard against it, but a house thief is hard to guard against.If you drive me out of the palace, I won't be able to dig a corner?Wherever there is injustice, where there is resistance, these eunuchs inside and outside are all loyal servants of my Li family!

The girl who stayed in the attic also stopped crying at this moment. She leaned on the crack of the door to see that the master and servant outside were just pacing and gossiping instead of actually digging a hole, and then she let out a soft breath.

Seeing that the two had gone far away, she quietly retreated to the room she used to live in before, took off her wet shirt, found a clean dress and changed into it, and put on a slim-fitting Hu suit with a lapel collar, wiped the moisture from her hair, tied it into a small bun and fixed it with a bamboo hairpin. It has a somewhat heroic flavor.

After changing clothes, she returned to the main hall, and saw through the crack of the door that the rich woman who had left earlier had returned and was reporting to the handsome young king who used to be harsh, presumably to find out about the own business.

Seeing this scene, the girl's heartbeat quickened again, wondering how the king would deal with her.When I was frightened and uncertain, I saw that the great king was already striding towards this trip. The setting sun was shining on that radiant face, as if it was shining itself, and people couldn't help but stare in rapt attention.

Seeing the king getting closer and closer, the girl became even more flustered, she quietly pinched the corner of her clothes with her slender fingers, and her silver teeth bit her lower lip. She showed a bright smile, and said to her through the door: "Don't worry, Tang family lady, stay at my house, no one will disturb you, stay as long as you want!"

Chapter 0117

Extraordinary people with extraordinary blood.

After hearing the news about the girl in the pavilion from Zheng Jin, Li Tong's mood suddenly became cheerful.Of course it wasn't because of taking pleasure in other's misfortunes. Although he occasionally had such vulgar tastes, his joy at the moment was very serious.

Zheng Jin found out that the Yang family indeed lost a distant relative who took refuge in his family, not Yang Zhirou's family, but his cousin named Yang Juren, who had already reported to the government, but he could not be found for a long time.

But this is not important, what is important is the identity of this distant relative.Yang Juren has a younger sister who married a family named Jingzhao Tang.Although this family with the Tang surname does not lack property, compared with the dignified Hongnong Yang family, their family background is naturally far inferior.

In the old years, Yang Juren lived in the village simply, and the friendship between them could be maintained, but after coming to Shendu and taking refuge in his cousin Yang Zhirou, and being supported by him, Yang Juren's family didn't think highly of this in-law, especially with several After Yang Juren's sister died of illness a year ago, the relationship became even more indifferent.

Later, the sister-in-law surnamed Tang got an official position in a side, so he had to entrust the orphan girl to Yang Juren. Son-in-law, use this as a dowry.

The cold relatives are not cute, but the money is touching. Yang Juren has raised this niece at home since then.This was nothing at all, but last year Yang Juren's son wanted to get married and needed a sum of money, so he embezzled the money deposited by his sister-in-law.

What happened later was even more bloody. Yang Juren used the dowry he owed his niece, probably because he felt wronged and couldn't explain it, or because he wanted to get closer to Yang Zhirou's family, so he actually wanted to marry this niece to Yang Zhirou's younger brother Yang Zhiyi.

But that little lady surnamed Tang was very hot-tempered. She even broke down the door of Yang's family and fled through the house. She has never been seen since then.

The reason why Zheng Jin had inquired so much in such a short period of time was because there was a lot of trouble at that time, and almost everyone in Zuojinfang District knew about it.In particular, Yang Zhiyi personally took his slaves along Fang Street to search from house to house, and made a fuss for more than a month.

In fact, this matter was mentioned by Zheng Jin in a chat before, but after all, it has nothing to do with him, and it is only an anecdote, lacking too many details, and it will be over after talking about it.For example, the surname of the little lady who ran away was Tang, which I found out just now.

After such confirmation, Li Tong naturally understood that the heroine in the story was hiding in her own home.

But after confirming the identity of this little lady, this matter has nothing to do with him at all. Whether Yang Zhiyi accepts a concubine or not, Yang Juren is so dishonest, these are all scandalous private matters of the Yang family.

Even if Li Tong had any sense of justice, at most he would let the little lady out or send her out of Shendu City, so that she wouldn't be filled with righteous indignation and even cover up.But he had enough reasons to intervene, because this little lady surnamed Tang, her grandfather was named Tang Xiujing, and she was the Deputy Protector of Anxi at that time!

Tang Xiujing belongs to the category of late bloomers. Although he is a general on the west side of the river, due to the general tone of external contraction since Empress Wu came to power, there is no chance to show it.

However, as Wu Zetian's power was consolidated, the domestic situation gradually stabilized, and a series of recovery operations were launched abroad. Wang Xiaojie expropriated and recovered the four towns of Anxi, and Tang Xiujing played an important role. Afterwards, he guarded Hexi for a long time and failed repeatedly. Tubo, and entered the court during the Chang'an period, first served as the general of Nanya Erwei, and later directly paid homage to the prime minister.

Li Tong seemed too snobbish if he thought about these funeral affairs too carefully.But he really has a sense of justice at the moment, and he will never allow bloodshed and tears for the heroes of Guoan and the frontier. This little lady of the Tang family, he is safe!

So what if your Yang family is Empress Wu's cousin?Laozi Hedong King is also a little licking dog who is on the rise!Don't say that the Yang family did it too dishonestly, even if it's really reasonable, people have come to my house, and you can get it away!

As soon as Li Tong finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open from the inside. The young lady of the Tang family had her eyes widened, and her plain and beautiful face was full of incredible surprise. She stammered: "You, you, the king did not lie. I?"

"I look like this, how can I deceive people? Words must be practiced. If my wife doesn't believe me, I'm afraid you will bite back and say that I imprisoned you. After all, it's better to borrow my wife's square inch to live in peace. It's both for you and me." One good."

As he said this, Li Tong also took a closer look at the little lady of the Tang family, and understood why Yang Zhiyi was so unwilling to give up. It is beautiful and charming, which is hard to let go.

Li Tong has seen many beautiful women, each with their own charm.

But even Shangguan Wan'er, who is usually elegant and beautiful, can't help but lightly wear makeup on weekdays.But the little lady in front of her is a real hibiscus that comes out of clear water, carved naturally, or lacks the charm of a young age, but she has a refreshing and pure nature, like a flawless crystal.

Hearing what the young king said, the little lady Xia Fei's cheeks were ashamed, like a newly dyed emerald peach: "I, I was just talking in a panic, don't take it seriously, my king, I won't... As long as I don't go back to the Yang family, of course I won't say that..."

It means that as long as you are sent back to the Yang family, you will slander me?

Li Tong didn't mean to send this lady of the Tang family back to the Yang family either. She was in a different mood and felt differently. Hearing this, he only thought that the little girl was cute, and she acted so frankly even if she was a villain.

He looked away, stopped looking at the girl's appearance, then looked around Hezhou, and said: "This place is too humid, and the vegetation is barren and overgrown. After all, it is not a suitable place to live. I didn't know that the lady lived here before, but now it is not good, so it is suitable to resettle. I'm new, so I don't want to speak deeply. But my aunt's story about my wife made me despise Yang's deeds. Under the bright and bright world, there is no way to be fair and tolerant. Please move away for a while. I will leave tomorrow Send someone to visit the elders of the Zunfu, and the lady can stay until the elders come to invite you."

"No, no, I'm already very grateful for your majesty's willingness to take me in. I really can't cause any more trouble!"

The young lady of the Tang family waved her hands quickly after hearing the words, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on her face: "I have lived in seclusion here for a long time. If the king really doesn't blame me, please let me continue to live here."

Speaking of this, her expression darkened again: "Uncle scared me, even if Aye returned to the capital, it would not be able to stop the power of the Yang family, it is inevitable... Your Majesty can take me in, let alone implicate you! Living here, you can Avoid people's eyes and ears."

After learning about this little lady's life experience, Zheng Jin's complaints were gone. Seeing this little lady's lonely face, she felt pity for her. You don’t have to be afraid of him if you are scolded by others for such a scandal! Even though the Yang family is a rich family, if it’s really unreasonable, it will make the world hate it!”

Li Tong sighed after hearing the words, if the power of the Yang family is really unreasonable, ordinary people really have nothing to do.Although the Tang family has a Tang Xiujing, Tang Xiujing is still far away from making a fortune at the moment, and he is still far away in Hexi. If the Yang family is really relentless, it may not be possible to keep this little granddaughter.

Although he had already decided to keep the little lady, he also knew that being too enthusiastic would make people suspicious, so he said to Zheng Jin: "Auntie arranges a few people to clean the garden north hall first, and chooses a few careful people to stay. This is just for listening. How to arrange it in the future will be discussed later. Lady Tang doesn't have to refuse, but allow me to treat guests with some courtesy."

"Women and guests do as they please, don't be too attached to love and new status. Your Majesty's arrangement like this is also appropriate."

Zheng Jin pulled the lady of the Tang family, smiled and comforted him a few times, and said to Li Tong: "The garden is tidal and barren, Alang, don't stay any longer, I will make arrangements here."

Li Tong nodded after pondering for a moment, it was indeed a bit inconvenient for him to stay here, Zheng Jin was careful and thoughtful in handling the housework, except that the Tang family lady stayed hidden for many days due to superstition.Now that things are clear, naturally there will be no more mistakes.

So he led Yang Sixu out of the West Garden.It was getting dark at the moment, he changed out of his damp robe and put on clean clothes, and then hurried to King Yong's mansion to pay his respects to his aunt Fang Shi.

"Third brother, third brother, second brother is talking wildly again! He said that an immortal came to serve in the mansion, and he will also become an immortal!"

As soon as she entered the middle hall of King Yong's Mansion, the younger sister Li Youniang rushed out, dragged Li Tong, and talked about Li Shouli's stupid things vividly.

At the moment, Li Tong's mind is still immersed in the life experience of the lady of the Tang family. When he saw the little girl again, she was just as delicate and cute. He felt pity in his heart, stroked the top of the little lady's hair, and said with a smile: "Then let's just stare, If he can't master supernatural abilities, he will be beaten until he touches the ground!"

Li Youniang was most happy to see her second brother suffer, she clapped her hands and giggled when she heard the words, and hurriedly went back to tell Li Shouli how to deal with him.

After entering the hall to say hello, after a light meal, Li Tong thought about it and went to the palace across the street, called Sima Wang Renjiao, and ordered additional guards to patrol outside the residence of the three kings at night.

Although he judged that Qiu Shenji would not use the assassination plan to deal with his family, even the small probability of the escaped girl hiding in his home for many days without being found would happen, so he couldn't be too sure about everything.

By the time they returned to their royal residence, Zheng Jin had already rushed back, and it was natural to blame himself again when he opened his mouth.Now I know that the lady of the Tang family is harmless, but if there are really evil people hiding in the garden, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Li Tong was naturally a little bit scared, but he didn't criticize Zheng Jin harshly. He asked this nanny to take charge of all the house affairs.It has only been ten days since he left the court and entered the workshop, and there are still too few people around who are really available and trustworthy.

It is better to detect negligence in advance than to hide hidden dangers.After pondering for a while, Li Tong still divided the housework a little bit. The eunuch and the maid each chose an older and steady man to take charge of cleaning, gardening and catering.

As for Zheng Jin, he still concentrates on managing his own daily life, wandering around, listening to gossip, receiving news, and taking care of some private affairs.The nanny said that she was his adoptive mother, and she would never hurt his thoughts. Li Tong also didn't want her to worry about the inside and outside and be too busy.

In the West Garden, apart from temporarily taking in the young lady of the Tang family, Li Tong didn't plan to start using it, and first let a few bulldogs go unused, and it wouldn't be too late to sort out things inside and outside the house.

Chapter 0118

"A few slaves were arranged in the garden. Besides serving, I also cleaned up the garden. I didn't let the slaves brought out of the ban come in or out..."

Zheng Jin talked about her arrangement, and then sighed: "Ah Lang is kind-hearted, and that young lady of the Tang family is really pitiful, but after all, it's not easy to let too many people know, lest the Yang family come to pester her."

"Let's do this first. Auntie will go and chat with her when she has free time. This little lady is flexible and proficient in water, and she is not a submissive temperament. Auntie comforts her carefully and asks her to be more docile and peaceful."

The little lady of the Tang family was blocked in the West Garden by the water fence and the Jinwu guards who patrolled day and night since Chen, making Li Tong sure that the world he came to was still a low-level martial arts plane, but the girl's fast escape speed and water His fish-like agility also impressed him deeply.

He was worried that the little lady might rely on her own skills and feel uncomfortable in the room, and the Yang family would find out if she exposed her traces.Although he wasn't afraid of Yang Zhirou, he didn't want to complicate his relationship at this moment.

Right now, of course, his main energy is to deal with and wait for an opportunity to solve Qiu Shenji's trouble, and put other things aside for the time being.

This matter was arranged like this for the time being. After telling Zheng Jin, Li Tong no longer went to the West Garden to visit the little girl.After all, he was willing to provide protection for the other party, mainly because he was more interested in his grandfather Tang Xiujing, who would love a girl if a real man.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Tong went to the palace again. There was still a large nest of men waiting for him to cultivate his relationship and in-depth strategy.

The palace itself didn't have much business, so when Li Tong came, he saw a group of people sitting in the middle hall, each of them eagerly looking at Li Xianzong who was also sitting in the banquet, even Li Shouli was no exception.

This young teacher is rich and handsome, but he is not arrogant. He is gentle and courteous in his dealings with others. He is also knowledgeable and has dabbled in astronomy and geography. Soon after he came to the mansion, he won the favor and admiration of the whole palace.

Li Tong is also very satisfied with this new long history.For the time being, it is difficult for the three kings to provide real opportunities for fame and fortune to the people of Shiliu. Increasing cultural appeal is also a way to expand their influence. He himself has too many schemes to worry about, and he cannot squat in the palace every day. Engaging in copying requires such a core figure to strengthen cohesion.

He also went to the table to chat for a while, and when the government official informed that Feng Changsi, a state official dispatched outside the government, had returned to wait for his summons, he got up and left, and went to another side hall.

Seeing the king leave, Liu Youqiu hurriedly got up to follow.After the previous beatings, Liu Youqiu was able to enter the state very well, and the original high self-esteem of Jinshi background had been greatly restrained, and he had adjusted his position.

"Li Shaoshi entered the mansion, and there are more and more visitors in the mansion. After yesterday's banquet, there were many invitations to ask for them. May I ask if your majesty will receive them as usual?"

Liu Youqiu followed behind the young king, carefully asking for instructions.

Li Tong took the visitor list and glanced at it, then handed it back: "If you are coming for Master Li, please take care of yourself. If you are asking for self-recommendation, the key is to be selected by the long history and other assessments. In the dirty mansion."

Speaking of this, he glanced at the middle hall again, and said: "The three chief historians in the mansion, Li Shaoshi, Fangwai Qingguo, Zhang Changshi, who is inexperienced in world affairs, going in and out of the concierge, choosing good friends, and relying on Liu Changshi to work hard. Qu Zhi's angry voice, withdrawn and narrow-minded, etc., it is still not allowed to hold a table and wait."

"Humble position understands that in a place of nobility, you will not be disgusted with it. You must choose your guests carefully, and you will not be chaotic and elegant."

After his mentality was adjusted, Liu Youqiu's progress was obvious, and he was gradually able to grasp the meaning of the young king's words.

Li Tong was also very satisfied with this, and nodded to Liu Youqiu to express his satisfaction.

Their brothers have not yet taken up official positions, and the palace is the main place for external contact. Whoever they interact with daily needs to be carefully selected, whether it is literature or outsiders, but it is still necessary to distinguish and exclude cynics and false prophecies.

Liu Youqiu has great potential to be tapped, and he plans to take care of this aspect step by step after taking the lead.Personnel honing and proficiency can also come in handy.

Under the corridor of the side hall, there was a young man in a green robe and a hooded head standing and waiting. Seeing the young king coming, he stepped forward to salute with his hands crossed: "I have seen the king. I went out of the city to inspect Tianyi yesterday. When I returned to the city, the square gate had been avoided. Temporarily living outside..."

"Go into the hall and talk about it in detail."

Li Tong waved to the young man and stepped into the hall first, and the young man quickly followed.

"Family affairs are busy, but there are few manpower to drive them. All things in the fields and towns, I will be busy."

Seeing the young man standing respectfully in front of the table, Li Tong raised his hand to signal him to take a seat and answer.

The young man's name was Feng Changsi, and Xue Huaiyi recommended him to enter the mansion two days ago.The relationship between each other was also inquired clearly. Feng Changsi was Xue Huaiyi's old relative and obedient son.Xue Huaiyi was willing to recommend his nephew to work in the palace, and Li Tong was also quite happy when he was surprised. In this way, the relationship between each other can be regarded as closer.

What made him even more gratified was that this young man, Feng Changsi, was not bad.It can be called a good-looking talent, after all, Xue Huaiyi himself is also handsome.But what made Li Tong even more happy was the character of this young man, who couldn't tell he was Xue Huaiyi's nephew.

In fact, as long as Xue Huaiyi asked, what kind of guy his nephew was, Li Tong would definitely accept it, and of course he would use it according to his ability.

This Feng Changsi was not as ostentatious as his uncle, but rather down-to-earth and simple. He hadn't been seen advocating his kinship with Xue Huaiyi for a few days after entering the mansion.What's even more rare is that he has a rough knowledge of characters and is proficient in arithmetic. Before that, he took care of some fields and properties in Baima Temple.

Xue Huaiyi's evil path suddenly appeared, and it was difficult to live a normal life in this life. He named his nephew "Changsi", which shows that he also has high hopes.The hope of recommending the heir of the family to Li Tong must have been fully aware of the dangers of the world after the incident of the imperial guards plotting chaos, so he made another arrangement.

Doing so gave Li Tong a lot of comfort.He and his grandma don't meet often, and they can only get a glimpse of his heart through clues, which are far less close than Xue Huaiyi.Xue Huaiyi was willing to recommend his nephew to work in the palace, which shows that in the eyes of this lucky minister, Wu Zetian showed no signs of persecuting his grandson subjectively.

Of course, in the current situation, people's subjective will will be more or less threatened by the situation, and Wu Zetian can hardly avoid it.If she can really take care of everything and completely control the situation, there will be no incidents of guards bewitching Xue Huaiyi to make trouble.

Just like Li Tong adopted Tang Xiujing's granddaughter in Xiyuan, but if there is really too much trouble in the follow-up, he might give up covering up at some point.

In the final analysis, it is just a little favor when you are calm, but whether you want to stick to it or not depends on the current pros and cons.His grandma should have the same attitude towards them.

Feng Changsi sat at the table, made a brief summary of all the affairs in Tianyi, and then took out another volume of books, and placed them respectfully on Li Tong's case.

Li Tong opened the registration volume, and saw the relevant records above, the content was a bit out of order, the area of ​​the land, the houses of the farmers, the storage of agricultural tools, etc., the records were scattered and messy, and the handwriting was far from dignified.

But it can also be seen that the attitude of the recorder is still very correct. In addition to the written records, there are also pictures sketched in simple strokes. The pictures are very detailed and specific, and even the pagoda trees planted inside and outside the farm are clearly marked.

"The permanent business under the government and the land, combined in 270 hectares, 120 hectares of dry fields, slope fields, mulberry fields, 64 hectares of orchards, paddy fields..."

Feng Changsi continued to state that although he did not have a record in his hand, he spoke in very detailed terms, which shows that he kept all these data in his heart.

Sitting in the banquet, Li Tong picked up a pen and copied the data Feng Changsi said on the paper again. After Feng Changsi finished speaking, he dried the ink on the scroll, waved his hand and said to Feng Changsi: "Come in and see if there is any wrong?"

Feng Changsi stepped forward in small steps, bowed his head, and saw a chart drawn vertically and horizontally on the paper, and the horizontal column was the number of fields, farmers, mills, mulberry trees, fruit plants, poultry, etc. The vertical column is the name of each farm.

Listed in this way, the quantity of all the resources of each farm is clear and straightforward at a glance.

"Master Xue used you, and I will pay for the farm work. I also see that you are diligent and hardworking, so I can trust Changsi."

Li Tong pushed the form aside, and said to Feng Changsi with a face of shame: "Everything in the world has its own ingenuity. After all, manpower is limited, but the world is endless, sincerity is useless, and it is useless. But If you can do it cleverly, you will get twice the result with half the effort.”

"Humble position, stupid, let down the trust of the king..."

Feng Changsi lowered his head even lower, with a sad expression on his face: "The lowly position is unbearable, but I beg your majesty to forgive me. My mother knows that I will be in the palace, and there will be joy day and night. The Tao is the end of the family... Although the lowly position has no talent, it is clumsy. Force, please don't expel..."

While speaking, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
