Crown Tang emperor

It turned out that when the cover of tenderness and tenderness was torn apart, this world turned out to be so cruel and bloody!Her mother is no longer kind and kind, but a beast on earth with her mouth wide open!

"I entered the palace today, did the God Emperor ask?"

Princess Taiping shook her head and tapped her eyebrows with her fingers.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head in embarrassment, and only said: "His Majesty the God Emperor controls humanity, and is busy day and night, so why is he so leisurely summoning this concubine as a slave. But if His Royal Highness asks for it..."

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's persuasion, Princess Taiping smiled wryly: "My mother, blood relatives or slaves, what's the difference between her? I'm really, really scared, and I dare not see her..."

What she said was afraid was just that she was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions.Although she has now clearly realized that her mother's misfortune, fortune, honor and disgrace are only in the mind of her mother, and she even gritted her teeth to accept her mother's new arrangements for her life, but after all, she is still unable to settle down, and she still can't calmly ask for favor from her. The culprit who single-handedly destroyed her happy family.

"We'll discuss this matter later."

Princess Taiping looked bleak, she put away all the miscellaneous thoughts in her mind, and then asked: "Let me tell your husband's uncle Xue Shaojian, has the message been passed? After all, he is the blood descendant of the Xue family, so he must not leave his house in ruins, but must hire good teachers and good teachers to teach him."

"Words have been sent, but Young Master Xue supervises him, he..."

Seeing Mrs. Zhang's embarrassment, Princess Taiping sneered: "Is this old slave still withdrawn? Ha, if not, if...he underestimated my widow and orphan, I will remember it!"

Her uncle Xue Wei's plot to cause trouble has affected her family, Princess Taiping has no hatred for the Xue family, but she also knows very well in her heart that even for the sake of her son's future, it is not good to completely cut off contact with the Xue family.

But these members of the Xue family regarded her as the source of trouble for the writers. In addition, many of Xue's family property was rewarded to her by the queen mother after being lost in the government, which made the Xue family respect her and avoid her.

"People are so angry that they can't contain themselves, how can they laugh and scold you! Xue's family avoids me like a sick man, so I will let my son take charge of his family temple!"

Although Princess Taiping's tone was firm, when it came to what to do, her heart was still in a mess.

"That's right, when the concubine was leaving the palace, Sigongtai was full of cars and drove out from the Xuanwu gate. The question and answer was that the emperor specially rewarded the King of Hedong with his wealth and goods to support his family."

Hearing what Mrs. Zhang said, Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and said, "What's going on? Tell me carefully. I remember, that kid was in a mess, why..."

Princess Taiping had asked Mrs. Zhang to inquire about the situation of King Siyong's family, but what she found was messy. She was too busy with family affairs and had no time to care about the rest, so she forgot about it after she ordered it.

"It's difficult for a concubine to inquire about the situation in the foreign court. It's just that the king has performed well after entering the business and has been praised by ministers..."

Mrs. Zhang is a woman of the generation, even if she can get in and out of the forbidden area with the help of the princess's prestige, she doesn't know much about the already complicated situation in the outer court, and she really can't explain why.

Princess Taiping held her forehead in thought, and after a while she sighed: "No matter what the reason is, my nephew may not be more calm than me, but he can do a lot of things. He is not a vulgar person. Auntie remembered someone posted a post and asked him to Come and meet his family."

Chapter 0181 worry-free, brave ascension

Last night, the banquet lasted until late, and the next day Li Tong missed the time to go to court, and his head was still a little bit hungover. Thinking about it, since he missed the morning and the sun, he simply skipped the day's shift. After all, Lintai There really wasn't any important matters waiting to be dealt with there, but the family affairs of the palace needed to be sorted out carefully.

In the early morning, he was sweating profusely. After freshening up and recovering a bit, Li Tong went to King Yong's residence to greet his aunt Fang, but was surprised to learn that his second brother Li Shouli had already left for work early.

"Second brother is still complaining this morning that his colleagues are far less knowledgeable than elder brother's subordinates, and he said that he wants to attract some real friends to come to our house as guests."

Hearing the words of his little sister Li Youniang, Li Tong couldn't help but smile.He was also happy to see that the brothers each had their own social circles, but it was somewhat difficult for Li Shouli to compete with him.

Although Donggong has its own staff and has its own team, it doesn't even have a master. Naturally, it is more distracted than Lintai.As for Li Shouli's prince washing horses, although he was not in charge of the stables, it was actually not that important. The Bureau of Economics and Economics was in charge of the Qingshui Yamen, which was clearer than Lintai.

For the Guochao Collection, there is the Hongwen Museum in the Banzhong, and the Chongwen Museum in the East Palace. The two schools were established successively, and they have replaced the functions of Lintai and Donggong Sijing Bureau to a certain extent.

However, although the Eastern Palace did not have so many officials from other courts to socialize with, there were quite a few honored children who were either in the academy or in the leadership mansion. Li Shouli did not have to worry about having no friends.

Li Tong rushed to the palace, yesterday's banquet had already been cleaned up, and there were still incense inside and outside to remove the peculiar smell in the hall.

Li Tong discovered very early on that the consumption of spices in this period was really huge, and all kinds of spices were used for different purposes, and there were many types, both in daily diet and in daily life.

The Tang people's diet is heavy on taste, especially fishy, ​​and consumes a lot of spices for seasoning.With such a diet structure, the daily consumption of decontamination, fragrance, and mosquito repellent is also extremely high.

Before that, Li Tong didn't have much spare energy, and last night he couldn't sleep because of the smell of alcohol in the mansion. After doing some accounting, he found that the three kings' mansion spent tens of thousands of dollars on spices alone every month.

Although Sifu Temple and other companies provide various materials on a monthly basis, some of the more luxurious consumables such as Yuanfan spices are not in large quantities, and each prefecture needs to purchase them independently.

Spices, whether they are luxury goods or consumables, are really indispensable according to Li Tong's own observation. The key is that this thing also has a social attribute.

Li Tong wasn't too keen on making himself smell good, but he didn't want to smell dirty either.Such long hair needs to be groomed, mosquito repellent and perspiration should be removed in hot summer, clothes should be changed and washed, and sleep in bed. I didn’t pay attention to it before, but I got used to it when I started to pay attention.

If you don't pay attention to personal hygiene, you will be easily frustrated socially.During the banquet last night, a few Luotuo officials came forward to pay their respects, and before they even got close, there was a strange smell coming over them, which made people want to vomit.

Previously, when Song Zhiwen was rejected because of bad breath and asked to be a servant, Li Tong took it as a joke, but when he really came to this world and got familiar with daily life, he realized that this is really a big problem.

Li Tong thinks that the main reason is that Tang people's diet is heavy on fishy smell. Mutton tastes quite delicious, but if you don't pay attention to personal hygiene for a long time, the taste is really touching.

As for the price of spices, there is also a huge gap.Such as ordinary lemongrass, cinnamon, etc., ranging from a few dollars to dozens of dollars.But like some rare imported products, it's not a matter of price, and even if you have money, you can't buy them.

During the banquet last night, Li Tong listened to people bragging and gossip, and also heard an anecdote that officials reached a certain level, and the imperial court still provided rewards such as facial fat and bath beans.These things are naturally made of exquisite materials, and there are people who buy them at high prices in the market. For a level like his Yipin County King, a single bath bean can even cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

When he couldn't sleep last night, Li Tong was still considering whether to start a side business, make perfume, soap, etc., and he didn't expect this stuff to make a fortune. After his own consumption, it would be good to use it as a favor gift.

Although he himself is only a waste of science and technology, these things don't seem to require much sophisticated technology. After thinking about it, he ordered his nurse Zheng Jin to explain a little and let Zheng Jin summon the idlers and servants in the mansion to fiddle with it.

There were a lot of messy thoughts in his mind, and when he came to the palace, the officials rushed forward to give him a big surprise: "Last night, the senior officials came to the palace to deliver the rewards. I dare not disturb the king late at night, so I record it here." , please examine it, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Li Tong was really overjoyed, and smiled even more when he took the list handed over by the government official.Unlike him, who was so distressed that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night after buying a meal, his grandma was much more open-minded, and she sold common things like money and silk for hundreds of thousands. .

Of course, apart from goods and such, what made Li Tong even more happy was his grandma's attitude.With such a big banquet, Li Tong also felt a little uneasy, worried that he would touch his grandma's sensitive nerves.

Now it seems that his worry was a little unnecessary, or he still underestimated the great help he gave his grandmother from the rain scriptures.

There is such a thing as auspiciousness, if you believe it, you have it, but if you don't believe it, you don't have it.The Precious Rain Sutra presented by Li Tong was created by himself. Of course, anyone can do this kind of thing, but the effect is naturally different due to different identities.

Historically, Wu Zetian first edited the "Da Yun Jing" to make insinuations, and then edited the Bao Yu Jing to directly revise the scriptures.There are such steps, one is that there is a foreshadowing of the Great Cloud Sutra, and the other is that the translator of the Baoyu Sutra, Bodhidharma Liuzhi, is an eminent Indian monk and has certain authority.

As for Li Tong's presentation of scriptures, of course it was not based on his understanding of Buddhist scriptures, but because of his identity at this moment.He is the grandson of the Emperor and the Emperor of God, and he cites the "Buddha Said the Precious Rain Sutra" to support his grandmother in a clear-cut manner.

In this business, he has no competitors, including his third and fourth uncles.It's nothing more than a pair of suffering brothers who were defeated by the power struggle. If you really dare to make such a bottomless statement, you are really making fun of your own political future and life.

As for Li Tong, he is close in blood and outside the imperial lineage. As long as his uncles are not dead, he is not the first line of heirs.

In fact, regardless of his royal status, Li Tong's situation is similar to that of the poor concubines selected by his grandmother. According to the normal political ecology, their political future is not great.It is their opportunity to realize the overtaking in the corner that they have made extraordinary achievements and achieved extraordinary things.

He just held a banquet here, and his grandma's reimbursement goods were sent to the mansion, which made Li Tong read a little bit of his grandma's heart. Instead of rejecting him, he supported him in inviting scholars to be popular.

Li Tong was always swaying without wind, but now that he has his grandmother's attitude to endorse, then there is nothing to be afraid of, roll up your sleeves and work hard, and strive to send his grandmother to the supreme position as soon as possible.

At this time, there were still many guests in the palace who were hungover and stayed overnight without leaving. They had a lot of money in their pockets, and Li Tong was also full of pride. With a big wave of his hand, he ordered the banquet to continue today.

Many guests hadn't had time to digest the full meal yesterday, so they were delighted to hear that there was another feast.Among other things, the food provided by the palace is really top-notch, and the singing and dancing are also rewarding, which makes people really happy and forget to return.

Li Tong also understood that because of his own current appeal, Li Qiao was on duty for introspection today, and had already left before dawn.After thinking about it, he dictated in the palace to let the officials write, and invited Shen Quanqi, Qiao Zhizhi and others to visit the palace.

At present, among the people in the palace, Li Tong relies on Liu Youqiu the most. After all, Liu Youqiu has already known each other from the beginning, and there is a lot of bad water in his stomach, so he sent Liu Youqiu to cooperate with Tian Dasheng and others, and went to his fief in Puzhou, Hedong to collect the state rent. .

Except for Liu Youqiu, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhong Shaojing and other government officials, Li Tong plans to give them each a promotion before the end of this year.

A young man like Zhang Jiazhen is not very useful to be honest. After going out of the palace to practice, he can also show people that the palace is a way to advance. At that time, more talents will come to the palace to ask questions for them to choose from. .

As for military positions such as Wang Renjiao and Yan Yanfan, Li Tong has no idea yet, and before his grandma makes a further statement, he dare not make a move in the imperial army system, and let Guo Da Guo Silang continue his mission first lurking.

"The affairs of the government have been very busy recently, and it is inevitable to be tired. Fortunately, there are many talents in the exchange, and many of you can ask for advice at the same time. You all have helped me a lot. Although the upper and lower levels are in harmony, I don't want to trap you in shallow ponds for a long time. At that time, there were many great events in Diancai elections, and I hope everyone can show their talents."

After ordering some trivial matters, Li Tong said to Zhang Jiazhen and the others: "Of course, talents gather together, and it is difficult to distinguish between equals. Whether you can stand out or not, you have to do your best. It is inevitable that you have to rely on some luck. The seat in the palace has been waiting for a long time. Worry, moving forward is Qingyun, let go of your mind and do your best."

Hearing the young king's encouragement, several people were also very grateful and thanked him one after another.To be honest, they were very grateful to meet such a kind and benevolent palace master like King Hedong, but just as the young king said, the palace is only a shallow pond after all, and if they want to show their ambitions, they still need to go out.

Of course, even if they go out, the connection between each other will not be severed.Not to mention the story of the story, but the many irrelevant people who have seen it now are all visiting the door. In the future, when they each embark on official careers, the connection with the young king will only become closer.

Until now, Li Tong really has the feeling of being a big brother of the king of the clan, and people can look up to him to look forward to the future.The iron-clad palace, the flowing officials, when his disciples and old officials spread all over the government and the public, whoever wants to move him will have to weigh carefully.

However, the goodwill didn't last long, and the family members of the mansion on the other side of Fang Street rushed to report that it was Prime Minister Yang Zhirou's family who came to knock on the door and make trouble.

Chapter 0182

"Yesterday at noon, Yang's family came to the mansion, asking for some extravagant utensils, and a mourning tent to send off the coffin of their relatives. A few people searched in the back corridor of the mansion. Maybe it was at that time that they saw Mrs. Ashu in the mansion..."

After Li Tong returned to the mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous for a while when he heard what the nanny Zheng Jin said.

He had nothing to do with Dugu Qingyun who had just passed away, but he was very busy with the death of this old man. He just wrote the epitaph for him yesterday, so he didn't expect to be involved other than that.

For example, if a minister of Dugu Qingyun's level dies, the court official will take care of the funeral affairs on his behalf.Of course, this does not mean that the family members can do nothing, they also have their own affairs that need to be taken care of.

In particular, the imperial court has agreed that Dugu Qingyun will be buried in Qianling, which is an even greater honor, and no amount of extravagance can be overstated.

The Yang family and Dugu's family are in-laws' families, and offering sacrifices and sending off spirits on the road is a basic etiquette. Whether the curtains are luxurious or not is naturally a reflection of the depth of one's heart.When it comes to status, the three kings are naturally far inferior to Yang Zhirou, the new prime minister in the Zhengshitang, but when it comes to the exquisite and gorgeous home, the Yang family is naturally inferior, so it is normal to come here to ask for excuses to save face .

Reminiscent of Lintai's subordinates flattering yesterday that Dugu Qingyun would consider him a confidant when he saw the epitaph written by the young king.

"It's my fault, I'm too restless to hide..."

Tang Lingshu, a young lady of the Tang family, was dressed in a plain shirt, with her head bowed and her pale white fingers twisted together. While making a gesture of self-ashamedness, she secretly looked at the king, but her eyes were full of apprehension.

"It's none of your business, my family lives or travels in the mansion, who else should I look at?"

Li Tong raised his head and gave the lady of the Tang family a comforting look, then turned to Yang Sixuan: "What are the identities of the Yang family members who are detained in the mansion? Who instructed them to come to the door?"

"There are two men and three women who come here. Since Chen is the family of Yang Xianggong's Zongzhi family, the two men are all Yang Xianggong's eldest sons, and the woman is the elder..."

"It's my aunt and cousin..."

Tang Lingshu said in a low voice, her pretty face was full of gloom, and she was even a little bit shy.

"Ms. Ashu, do you want to meet them?"

Li Tong asked again.

Tang Lingshu waved his hands quickly after hearing the words: "Don't meet, don't, seeing this kind of evil relative will only make people's heart hurt."

Li Tong nodded, and then told Yang Sixuan: "Stay locked in the mansion, go and report to the Hegong county sheriff, the thieves invaded my gate, deal with it yourself, and don't bother the officials."

Yang Sixu took the order to leave, Li Tong looked at the young lady of the Tang family who was still worried and said with a smile: "Miss Ashu, don't worry, I will handle this matter. Since I live in my residence, there is no need to worry about the past."

"I'm just ashamed. I've already run away, but Uncle's family is still entangled, and it's really, really embarrassing!"

Tang Lingshu lowered his head and crossed his fingers, his voice choked with sobs: "When my mother was here, my family was not close to my uncle's family. They are so unbearable, I am afraid that the king will misunderstand my family, too, I, Aye, my eldest father, and our family are all bright Heroic, I wouldn't do this kind of..."

"I understand, I understand, you don't have to worry about these things. There are human relations, and it is inevitable that any family will make a few bad relatives by mistake. Although it is pure if you don't see it, you don't have to hold back blindly. People are not ashamed of evil. Teach them not to despise the strong."

Li Tong hadn't been afraid of the Yang family before, let alone now.

He had already thought about how to deal with this matter, but before that, he still wanted to ask the little lady about her own thoughts.After pondering for a while, he looked up at Zheng Jin: "Auntie asked me to have a private conversation with the young lady."

Hearing this, Zheng Jin had a narrow smile from someone who had come here, pointing at the lady of the Tang family who had her head hanging lower and said with a smile: "Although A Lang is kind and tolerant, the young lady is not a stranger with no background. What should be said, what should be understood, should always be said before the event.”

With a smile in his mouth, Zheng Jin stepped out of the room and pulled the door open.

As a result, the atmosphere in the room became ambiguous, especially the young lady of the Tang family who seemed even more disturbed, her pretty face was blushing, her eyes drifted without focus, no matter how she turned her eyes, she just didn't dare to look at the young king.

Li Tong felt more or less embarrassed at the moment, simply stood up and paced back and forth in the room, walked for a while before standing by the window, turned back to look at Tang Lingshu who was sitting in the room.

The girl's hair is in a light bun, her fists are clenched on her knees, and her skirt is still clenched tightly in her palms. Her slender figure under the plain white shirt is tense and trembling slightly. , reflecting a gorgeous almost dreamy light, and reflected on the white and rosy cheeks, it was so amazing that people couldn't take their eyes off.

Li Tong looked at the quiet, pretty, and motionless girl, but recalled the vivid, bright, and stunning figure he saw that day in his mind. He was a little curious for a while, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Knowledge is better than diligence." Huang Yuxi, Mrs. Ashu, you..."

"But I, Aye, still... ah? What did the king say?"

Tang Lingshu subconsciously opened her mouth to answer. After a while, her cheeks were already extremely red. She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Li Tong with a hint of shame. After a while, she bit her teeth, clapped her hands on the side of the table, and bent her legs. Jumping up, his body leaped up like a butterfly for more than half a foot. Li Tong only felt that his vision was blurred, but the girl had already passed through the living room, disappeared behind the screen, and then there was the sound of the inner room door being slammed shut.

Li Tong's wish was fulfilled, and he saw the girl's agile skills again, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. After a while, he heard the girl's weeping voice from the room: "You don't want to say anything, but it's provocative." Panicked! How happy is it to see someone make a fool of yourself? I didn't think too much about it, it's just, it's just that your Auntie Zheng keeps nagging..."

"What did Auntie say?"

Li Tong walked around the screen, stood in front of the closed inner room door, knocked on the door and asked with a smile.

"She said, she said... You are her master, you are always closer than me, so you ask me instead? I can escape from my uncle's house, and of course I can escape from your house. I live here with no relatives and no reason. Talking gossip makes me feel embarrassed... If you force me like this again, I will leave again, go to Xizhou to find my family, and never return to Shendu!"

The girl's tone was quite resentful, which showed that she was indeed too embarrassed to get off the stage.

"If you say that you will never return, there will always be one or two things to worry about. Although my family is not extremely noble, but not everyone can live in it. Everything you see in daily life is ordinary, and you don't have to worry about it when you forget it. But if Personnel matters are really deep in the heart and heart, but it is not easy to speak out, and reflect on the left and right, I am afraid that I am interested in it, and I am afraid that I am taking advantage of other people's danger."

Li Tong stood outside the door, talking, with a smile on his face: "Although the truth is so, there is still some leeway in the bottom of my heart. Once the words are spoken, it is unavoidable to be abrupt. The lady is not a vulgar thing." , can be picked up and folded at will..."

With a bang, the door was pulled open again, and the young lady of the Tang family stood behind the door, her long eyelashes were covered with mist, and her eyes were still full of resentment: "You don't speak, but others talk a lot, a majestic king, what are you talking about?" What can’t be said? I can hear it, and I can think about it in my heart. If I feel offended, I should go or stay, so I can make a plan early! How can there be room for this kind of thing?”

Hearing the girl's frankness, Li Tong felt a little ashamed. He raised his hand to reach out to the girl's face, and the girl took the initiative to put her face on it. It was a very warm and loving scene, but then the little lady of the Tang family said When it came out, it made him feel terrified.

"Actually, I really don't want to listen to what other people say, and don't think about it. But the king has seen me too ugly. If you can't stay together, I won't kill you. How can you be a bride with peace of mind and harm your husband? Lang was ashamed... But, but you shouldn't be blamed for these ugliness, me, me too... um..."

Before the words were finished, the pink lips were caught, and the girl's bent elbows subconsciously struggled forward. Li Tong only felt his body leaning back, and stepped back a few steps, his back hit the screen fan heavily, and the screen fan He was knocked down immediately, and fell to the ground with a crash.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, be careful!"

Hearing the noise in the room, the eunuch standing on the corridor outside hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in, and then saw the king lying in the hall, the hollowed-out screen frame was crushed into pieces by his back, his posture was very embarrassed, he hurriedly rushed in. Go forward and help the king up.

"Nothing, nothing, I was not careful."

Li Tong was also full of shame at the moment. He raised his eyes to see Tang Lingshu, a girl covering her mouth with her hands, with a shocked expression on her face.

Afterwards, several servants rushed into the room, just bent down to clean up the broken pieces of the screen, tidied up the room in an instant, and then withdrew, without saying a word from the beginning to the end, but after the door was closed, the awkward atmosphere It will increase without decrease.

At this time, the girl had already retreated into the inner room and closed the door, but the light illuminated her figure lying on the crack of the door and peeping out on the door screen.

Li Tong was still embarrassed at the moment, looking at the girl's figure reflected by the door screen, he didn't know what to say for a while, and he laughed at himself after a while: "My lady really doesn't need to blame the bad relative too much, If it weren't for this trouble, how could I meet my beloved by chance. Just do it, I don't blame you!"
