Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, besides establishing the order of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan rewarded the ministers with meritorious service. Of course, the rewards for the courtiers were all ranked after his rewards for the princes.

After the morning court ended at noon, Li Yuan called Liu Wenjing, Liu Hongji, Pei Ji, and Feng Deyi to discuss the appointment of the crown prince and reward the princes.As for the princess and concubine, Li Yuan can make the decision alone, and the courtiers will have no objections.

The reason why only these four people were summoned was because among the civil servants and military generals who made great contributions around Li Yuan, only these four people had no relationship with Li Yuan, and the others were more or less related to the Li family. Brother-in-law Dou Wenshu and Dou Zhaoxian, Li Shimin's father-in-law Sun Shunde, and Li Yuan's brother-in-law Pei Hongce, he would never ask their opinions and suggestions.

Li Yuan now only has five sons and five daughters. Except for the second son who is married and has a child under his knees, the other four sons are not engaged, especially the eldest.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wulang has been conferred the title of King of Chu, Lord Silang has been named King of Qi, Lord Sanlang has been named King of Wei, Lord Erlang has been named King of Qin, and the imperial decree has been written."

Liu Wenjing took the lead in talking, and each of the four presented a memorial. As long as Li Yuan stamped it and the four imperial edicts were issued, it would mean that the identities of the four princes were clear.

There is no jade seal yet, and Li Yuan's seal is used. Of course, the imperial decree will not only have the seal of Li Yuan, but also the seals of these four ministers.

Li Yuan closed his eyes and nodded, Pei Ji and the others were silent, Li Yuan opened his eyes after a while: "Drafting the edict to establish the crown prince, even if Da Lang has hidden illnesses, our old Li family has no shortage of grandsons!"

If Li Xie was present, he would sweat silently in his heart. Li Yuan's ability to say this proved that he was usually brainwashed very successfully.

In the past five years, Li Xie and Li Yuan have often talked about some topics in their daily chats, and some views have been subtly rooted in Li Yuan's mind. For the ancients, passing on an heir is a major event. He can say such words, it can be seen Brainwashed.

Pei Ji and the others thought silently, Old Li's family has no shortage of grandsons, but would you be willing to train your cousin's son to be the next emperor, Your Majesty?No one can do this. After Da Langjun became the prince or even the emperor, he was willing to have no offspring and to adopt from his younger brothers. Moreover, the children of the adopted younger brothers would not have conflicts with the younger brothers?Especially Mr. Erlang, who is about to become the king of Qin, is very ambitious. Will he be willing to submit to others?

Of course, this is what the ministers think in their hearts, but they won't say it on the surface, they just need to speculate on His Majesty's mind, so as to achieve their goal.

After the edict to confer the prince, the concubine and the five princesses will be conferred. Among the concubines, the empress has passed away, so the concubine will issue an edict to give him a title.The five princesses were canonized in turn, the eldest princess was Princess Changsha, the second princess was Princess Xiangyang, the third princess was Princess Pingyang, the fourth princess was Princess Gaomi, and the fifth princess was Princess Changguang. Among them, the princesses of Pingyang were Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, Li Yuanji's fellow sister, she is three years younger than Li Jiancheng, she is not in Chang'an now, she leads troops to garrison outside, since Li Yuan started the incident, she had a female soldier in her hands, and then slowly developed into an army of [-] people in her hands , Half of the female soldiers and half of the male soldiers.

By the time the four ministers left the palace, it was already afternoon application time, and the four of them were actually in a good mood, because after the prince titles were distributed, it meant that their ministers would be rewarded.

The four ministers were stopped by their colleagues shortly after they walked out of the palace. What do the colleagues mean?They all want to know how His Majesty's canonization of the prince's title is like.

However, the four of Liu Wenjing remained silent, and their colleagues only responded with smiles when asked, and the topics they talked about did not involve any issues related to the prince.

Of course, after they go back in private, they will exchange information with some people, that's not known.

Li Xie had his own news channel, but Li Yuan had prepared the canonization edict for his children, and half an hour later, he received the news.

His mood is a bit complicated. In history, Li Yuan liked Li Jiancheng more. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers had such a quarrel. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. When a person pays too much and gains too little, There will be complaints in the heart, and over time, they will become sworn enemies.

Li Shimin also had many sources of news. Although he received the news later than Li Xie, he still received the news around the evening. For a while, Li Shimin's mood was very complicated.

Because the eldest brother is the eldest son, even if he has hidden illnesses, his father still chose him to be the prince.

Li Shimin stayed in the study for a long time and didn't go back to the bedroom. Changsun Wuyou saw that it was past Haishi and he hadn't come out yet, so someone came to the study with a lantern. She stood at the door and asked the maid to stand a little further away with the lantern , There was a light coming out of the study, but it jumped up and down. Just now when she came all the way from the long corridor, she saw a figure clearly facing the window paper.

"Erlang?" Changsun Wuyou knocked on the door, waited for a while, but did not wait for Li Shimin's response, hesitated for a while, but she still pushed the door open.

……

On Lixie's side, he hadn't rested yet. Shi Chong and Xie Chong reported on internal and external affairs respectively. He first asked about the affairs of the mansion, then commented on Shi Chong's plan according to his writing, and made comments and suggestions. Let Shi Chong continue to revise, and then casually asked Shi Chong if he had any news about his wife and children?

Shi Chong put away the plan and replied, "Thank you, my lord, for your concern. I have some news." Although they lost track of them again in the end, at least it was confirmed that his wife and children were still alive, so he would continue Looking for it, now that the warlords are separated, it's not safe, and it's not easy to find someone, but he believes that after the young master unifies the world, he will be able to find his wife and children with great fanfare, and it will be much easier.

The affairs in the mansion are not complicated, the main reason is that Li Xie asked Shi Chong to set up the business team in the mansion. Shi Chong used to be a businessman, although he had never managed a large business chain, but in business, Li Xie knows everything. Having said that, he should naturally know how to carry it out. If he can't do this, it's better to let him go as soon as possible.

What Xie Chong manages is the military affairs of Lixie. He has four legions, each of which has about 1 soldiers, and the four legions are [-] people. A huge number, now he is not self-sufficient, and Li Yuan has to allocate the money. Xie Chong negotiates with Li Yuan's accountant for the money. It used to be Li Yuan's personal accountant, but now that Li Yuan is the emperor, the warehouse is the accountant. The accountant and accountant are the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, but it is not a day's work to do all these intricate things.

Now the army basically spends a lot and earns little. Under normal circumstances, no accountant likes to see these people who spend money. In and out.

"It's okay, when everything is on the right track, even if the world is unified, I will not let the literati look down on the soldiers." In troubled times and wars, soldiers are popular. As a result, the status of soldiers gradually decreased, and the status of literati gradually increased. When the army of a dynasty is corrupted, the country is not far from subjugation.

Xie Chong nodded very calmly. He has been with Li Xie for a long time, and he knows that his master's ability is only a drop in the bucket. He doesn't feel that his master is talking big.

Xie Chong had been with Li Jiancheng ten years ago. At that time, Li Jiancheng had just lost the crown, and Li Yuan had high hopes for his eldest son. Ten years ago, turmoil began to appear in various places in the Sui Dynasty, but it was not obvious, but people with vision It can be seen that Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to form a team by himself. Xie Chong came to Li Jiancheng at that time. In fact, he was recommended to him by Li Jiancheng's wife Lu. After Lu passed away, because he had no children, all of Lu's dowry returned The Lu family, the dowry will naturally follow back to the Lu family, Xie Chong is not the Lu family's dowry, so naturally he will not follow the dowry back to the Lu family.

In the next few days, Lixie went to court in the morning, had lunch at noon, asked about Jia Ting's situation, and in the afternoon went to the military camp in the suburbs to inspect the army. Five days later, it was just dawn, and it was not yet six o'clock in the morning. Entering the palace to go to court, he was surrounded by a group of servants and went to another place as soon as he entered the palace. Li Xie didn't know what Li Yuan was going to do until he came to the dressing room and looked at the exquisite and elegant mianfu and mianguan. The clothes, without the three elements of the sun, moon and stars, are nine chapters, and the crown also reduces some elements according to the emperor's crown, and the crown is also reduced to nine.

The maidservants and servants served Li Xie and put on this crown, and Li Xie casually asked the servant: "Where are Erlang, Sanlang, Silang, and Wulang?"

The servant Yu is not the number one servant by Li Yuan's side, he is a serious servant of the imperial palace, he is clean, and now he is trying his best to be the number one servant by His Majesty's side.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the four gentlemen are not far away, and they are changing clothes just like His Highness." The servant Yu replied respectfully with a smile. He only called His Highness once, and did not add any other honorific titles.

Li Xie nodded, then closed her eyes, and let the servants and maids serve.Although Li Yuan has already written the imperial edict, in fact, the cooperation of other departments is needed later, so it will not be implemented so quickly, but I did not expect that the speed is quite fast. Have the crowns and crowns of princes, princesses and concubines been made yet?

Dressed up, Li Xie was surrounded by the servants and went to the Taiji Hall. The Taiji Hall is the main hall for the courtiers. Now it is very close to Mao Shizheng. All the ministers of the upper court are here. The atmosphere in the hall is solemn, but not The young minister flirted with each other, and the eye contact was exhilarating, and the eyes fluttered in the air, and those who didn't know thought they were flirting!

At the beginning, Changsun Shunde and Changsun Wuji felt a little complicated. When they married their daughter/sister to Li Shimin, they didn't expect Li Yuan to reach the top. The baby relatives of Changsun Wuyou and Li Shimin were their wives' ideas, and then the male masters of both sides thought it was feasible. It was settled in this way, and Mrs. Dou had been ill for a long time, and she was afraid of delaying Li Shimin's marriage, so she got married ahead of time. Otherwise, why would his sister marry Mr. Erlang at the age of 13?

Now my sister's father-in-law became the emperor, and my sister-in-law became the prince. About that position, Changsun Wuji had an idea in his mind. If his sister became the queen, then the eldest grandson's family would go further. Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji's heart became even hotter.But considering the truth, Changsun Wuji sighed slightly in his heart, but it is too early to say anything, even if he becomes a prince, he may not be able to become an emperor. Can you ascend the throne?As long as he works hard enough and can grind an iron pestle into a needle, he will make good plans for his sister-in-law.

Li Xie walked all the way, but he didn't meet Li Shimin and the others. He had to admire the waiter and others. This is because the timing was just right.But as soon as he stopped at the entrance of the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin, who was wearing a crown and a crown, was surrounded by another group of servants, followed by Li Xuanba, Li Yuanji, and Li Zhiyun.

Afterwards, the five concubines in the harem, headed by Concubine Wan Gui, also wore crowns and crowns and were surrounded by servants and maidservants. The five Lixie brothers stood on the left side of the hall entrance, and the concubines stood on the right side.

Afterwards, the eldest grandson Wuyou dressed in the crown of the prince and concubine and was surrounded by maidservants in the palace. She and Concubine Wan Gui were divided into two sides at the back of the Taiji Hall. She was in front, Concubine Wan Gui was behind, and the other concubines were close Concubine Wan Gui.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a lot of waste was waiting to be revived. There was no separate ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince, kings and concubines, but a call was made in the Taiji Hall. Of course, this was also a matter of cost. The ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince alone was very cumbersome, Li Yuan The ceremony of ascension to the throne was made very simple, so Li Xie didn't spend too much effort here, everything was kept simple.Uh, more funds have to be reserved for the army, and the armies are screaming, waiting to charge and level the rivers and mountains.

Among them, Princess Pingyang's edict was received by her eldest son Chai Zhewei, who stood behind Li Zhiyun with his younger brother Chai Lingwu.

In one day, the news that the Tang emperor appointed the crown prince, kings, princesses, and concubines flew out of Chang'an City and flew in all directions as if they had grown wings.

Another day passed, and in a slightly bustling county town just over 100 miles away from Chang'an City, towards evening, a convoy of merchants passed through the guards at the city gate and entered the county town.

This county is already under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, but because it is in the middle of Chang'an and Luoyang, Wang Shichong, who previously occupied Luoyang, reacted and stationed a soldier in a small town very close to the county. There is also a Tang army stationed in this county, with about 2000 people. There have been frictions between the two sides in the past two days, so the county has stricter inspections on businessmen entering and leaving.

The caravan came to a street that was neither lonely nor bustling, and checked into an inn on this street. The rooms assigned to the four of Yang Ruoxi were not bad, but Yang Ruoxi was relieved.

After entering the room, Yang Ruoxi told her younger sister habitually: "Seventh sister, remember the third sister's order, don't talk too much when you go out, and don't contact anyone. When we get to Chang'an, we won't be so cautious."

Seventh Lady, that is, Yang Ruomei nodded solemnly. She is only ten years old, because she also has no biological mother to protect her. In fact, she is very sensible, but because she is an emperor, she has never seen the darkness outside. What she had heard had already scared her. She didn't dare to comment on what the third sister asked her to do. Besides, she now had only the third sister to rely on.

Yang Ruoxi looked at Seventh Lady's maid again, and said with a serious expression: "Ying'er, you also remember my order, don't say too much, understand?" The maid Ying'er is 12 years old, two years older than Seventh Lady, but master and servant Both of them are not taciturn people, they are lively by nature, so Yang Ruoxi had to remind them every day.

The maid covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly. She would do what San Niangzi said, and she must not put San Niangzi and Seventh Niangzi in danger.

The last time she went back to that small town, Yang Ruoxi did not leave the next day. She stayed in the small town for a day, observing the caravans staying in the town, and only selected a caravan in the evening, because this caravan invited She hired a Jianghu swordsman as a guard. Although this swordsman was wearing coarse linen, the sword on his waist never left his body. They all went into the inn lobby to drink and eat meat, and he drank at the entrance of the inn. The only appetizer was dried pork on the side. After eating the dried pork, he continued to drink until the wine gourd was empty.

Yang Ruoxi changed her mind, immediately bought a jug of wine at the wine shop, and approached him tremblingly with her sister and maid, stammering and begging to follow him to Chang'an.

The swordsman had a beard on his face, except for those piercing but occasionally sad eyes, his appearance could not be seen clearly.

In fact, Jun Wuxie had already discovered that these four young women were peeping at him, but he didn't care, so he didn't think about driving them away, but he didn't want the leading woman to be so bold as to exchange a pot of wine for him to protect them and go to Chang'an safely ?

"To Chang'an?" This woman is very smart, she even found out that the caravan is going to Chang'an, but there are many caravans going to Chang'an, why did she choose him?

Yang Ruoxi nodded nervously, Liu He, Ying Er, and Yang Ruomei looked at Jun Wuxie eagerly, for fear that he would refuse.

"There was an accident at home, so I took my sister and maidservant to seek refuge with my cousin in Chang'an." Yang Ruoxi thought in her heart, she was right, she did go to seek refuge with her cousin.

Jun Wuxie murmured in her heart, even if there was an accident at home, why are there only four young women and men in the family?Even if the father died, what about the servants?

But Jun Wuxie didn't have the desire to explore, thinking of such a troubled world, he would help as much as he could, he nodded: "Yes, give me a jug of wine every day."

Yang Ruoxi heaved a sigh of relief. Apart from the carriages loaded with goods, this caravan naturally also had carriages for female relatives, because the caravan accepted the task of escorting other female relatives to Chang'an, and there were still spaces in the three carriages, so they could sit For the four of Yang Ruoxi, of course Yang Ruoxi has to pay, the fee is not low, but the fee includes food and lodging along the way, which is fully covered by the caravan.

Yang Ruoxi had observed these in advance. She dared not touch those caravans that were all men. In this troubled world, she must not take chances, let alone test people's hearts.

Afterwards, every day when the caravan stopped to rest at night, Yang Ruoxi would provide the swordsman with a pot of wine, and the caravan did not embarrass them for Jun Wuxie's sake.

Halfway through the journey, and now entering Tanghuang's territory, the mountain bandits and robbers have all been swept away by the Tang army, so this journey will be a bit safer.

Not only Yang Ruoxi was relieved, but also the owner of the caravan was relieved. He ordered a lot of food at the inn, but no one came to call Yang Ruoxi and the others, so when he heard the voice of the caravan outside, Yang Ruoxi immediately walked out with his sister and maidservant. The door, came to the lobby on the first floor, let Liu He, Qin Niangzi, and Yinger occupy a table, she changed a pot of wine at the shopkeeper, when she took the money from her sleeve, she took out a lot of copper coins, and looked Frustrated, he counted the coppers one by one.

The shopkeeper and the waiter had seen this kind of situation a lot, and they took it for granted, so they handed Yang Ruoxi two jugs of wine with the full amount of copper coins, one jug of wine was the swordsman's reward, and the other jug ​​of wine was a spare.

Yang Ruoxi handed a jug of wine to Liu He, told Liu He to put it away, brought the other jug ​​of wine to the swordsman, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Mr. Jun."

The people in the caravan all called the swordsman Mr. Jun, and Yang Ruoxi called him like a gentleman.

Jun Wuxie nodded expressionlessly, then picked up her jug ​​and drank straight away, then Yang Ruoxi went back to the maidservant and sister and started eating.

The inn is not full of guests, half of the seats are occupied, most of them are in the lobby on the first floor, and only a few exquisite guests are on the second floor.

Yang Ruoxi lowered her head and listened to the noisy voices in the lobby while eating. It was a group of merchants discussing major issues in the world, among which the most talked about was the affairs of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an.

From these people, Yang Ruoxi knew that the Tang Emperor had just appointed a crown prince, conferred the titles of all the kings, and conferred the title of concubine.

However, the matter about the prince and the kings was only changed in the mouth, and the topic turned to the books of the Tang Dynasty, which aroused the excitement of the scholar.

Some scholars said that they saw brand-new books in their hometown, and learned from the bookstore owner that Tang Emperor improved printing techniques, and books will no longer be a luxury for students in the future. , It is simply a great gospel, the scholar immediately decided that he would go to Chang'an to serve the Tang Dynasty...

Yang Ruoxi rolled her eyes, thoughtfully, it seems that Emperor Tang really had a different intention. When his father was alive, Emperor Tang did not present it to his father, but planned to use it to collect talents from all over the world.

Jun Wuxie took a sip of the wine and thought about it, he was originally in Wu Jun, a friend wrote to him, Tang Prince improved printing techniques, printing books will not be as difficult as before, so he decided to visit Chang'an, he I want to see for myself whether the Prince Tang, who has just been registered, is really as talented as his friends praise. This is related to the future of the Jun family, so he must carefully examine it.

In Lixie in Chang'an, she felt as if a cat was catching her in her heart. Today, Yaoyao has already walked more than 100 kilometers away from Chang'an. Even if the speed of walking and carriage is not too fast, Yaoyao will be there in ten days at the latest. Chang'an.

He is more curious, who exactly has Yaoyao become now?Which aristocratic family's daughter?Lixie hadn't really considered Yang Guang's daughter, because Yang Guang went to Jiangdu with his wife and children, Wang Shichong made Yang Tong emperor, and Yang Tong was the son of Yang Guang's deceased eldest son, so Yang Tong didn't follow him to Jiangdu. Reason, why does Yang Guang's daughter not go to Jiangdu?Empress Xiao is a virtuous and generous queen, shouldn't she take care of all the concubines' children?

As for Li Shimin's Concubine Yang, he didn't remember when Concubine Yang entered Li Shimin's mansion or when she gave birth to a child. He thought that Concubine Yang should be the sincerity of the alliance between the Yang family and Li Shimin, that is, a marriage. A concubine is detrimental to face, but it seems that in the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, many princesses became the concubine of the emperor. It seems that this princess is worthless, especially the subjugated princess.
