Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 193
As a generation of emperors, Li Er's life was not all smooth sailing.After rejoicing with Guanyin's maidservant, Li Er bid farewell to his family and took Fanbang's younger brother on the road.When Li Er went out this time, he chose a reason—to do a big search!It is said that the Dasou ceremony originated in the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the enfeoffment system was implemented, and various regions were enfeoffed to the princes. Therefore, every season, the princes from all walks of life took their troops to the place designated by the emperor to carry out a semi-superstitious activity. It's a great gift.Dasouli, according to later generations, is a multinational joint exercise, in which there are more political meanings and entertainment elements.

Li Er is very good at picking places, and the place he goes to is not far from Chang'an, a lake on the Baishili Road - Kunming Lake.According to legend, Kunming Lake is an artificial lake built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and its area is about six times that of the later West Lake.The original intention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to excavate Kunming Lake was to practice the water army here, and Li Er's visit this time was no exception, and there was a water army exercise project.

There is no small matter in Tianjia, and everything touches people's hearts.No one would think that Li Er did this at will. Among all the vassals, the most frightening ones are probably Goguryeo, Silla and Baekje, and Goguryeo is the first among them.

Li Er didn't hide what he meant, he just went for Goguryeo!He showed off his strength in front of the vassal states, and then went hunting.

In fact, there are signs of these things ahead. Last year, Li Er ordered to clean up the remains of the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty who were destroyed by the Great Wall. Next is the "Jingguan" of Goguryeo.If you want to say that this Jingguan is the fault of Yang Guang.Yang Guang's conquest of Goguryeo many times failed, and he just discarded the remains of his soldiers.Goguryeo cleaned up the regrets after Yang Guang's army retreated, but they were not buried, but piled up to show off their military power-look, I am so awesome, even the emperor of heaven was defeated !This is why the sticks of later generations always say that this thing was made by them, and that thing was invented by them. What's more, the historical map in their textbooks actually includes more than half of China!
To be honest, the national strength of the Sui Dynasty was not weak, and Yang Jian and Yang Guang basically did what they should do. In terms of land and territory, the current Tang Dynasty has not caught up; in terms of population, there is also a big gap; The materials left behind are more abundant than the current treasury.Li Yuan stabilized the Tang Dynasty, and now it's Li Er's turn to stabilize people's hearts, expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and establish a great cause that will last forever.

Does Yang Guang's various inactions in the previous dynasty have anything to do with Li Er?Li Er won't think it's okay, because Yang Guang's abuse of people against the sky can set off his "benevolence", right?Li Er still wants to surpass, beyond the heyday of the Sui Dynasty.Goguryeo's various actions angered Li Er. How can I say that those soldiers are all Chinese, and there are many elders of the current people among them. If they are avenged for them, will the people's hearts make the ship of Datang more stable?The answer is yes.

Now that there are cement and bricks in hand, the Northwest no longer has to worry about it. According to Li Daozong's suggestion, the Turkic people are also very safe. If Tubo and Tuyuhun are safe, then the next target of Li Er's attack is likely to be Goguryeo!
Li Er's calculations are good, everything is going according to his expectations, even far exceeding his expectations, and Jin Yu has a lot of credit for this.Why did Yang Guang fail to attack Goguryeo?Don't talk about people's hearts, a large part of it is because of the weather in Goguryeo!There are only a handful of days to fight, if you can't win when the weather is warm, let alone when it's cold, but now with cotton, everything will be different!For up to three years, Li Er is confident that he will promote cotton to military use and create an elite army that has never been afraid of the bitter cold!

Li Er had a good plan, but there was someone who didn't give him face, and that was his father——Li Yuan.Li Er has resentment towards his old father, resenting him for not passing on the throne directly to him, and for charging himself with the crime of killing brothers and brothers, but Li Er still wants to do his best to be a son of man, provided that Dad cooperates.

As for Li Yuan, he felt aggrieved by what he, the emperor, did.In fact, now he is imprisoned in the Ouchi Imperial Palace by his own son. He eats and drinks well, but he is not allowed to go out!Li Yuan also had resentment in his heart, feeling that he, the Supreme Emperor, had acted very uselessly.

Li Er came back from Kunming Lake, excitedly went to offer tribute to his father - the prey he had hunted.At this time, the weather hadn't turned warm yet, and Li Yuan's health was indeed not very good, so he basically relied on being carried by others when traveling.It was just a few prey that were shot to death by arrows. Li Yuan accepted it. Looking at the warm weather outside, Li Yuan said, "Go, take me outside to bask in the sun!"

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the country was prosperous and the people were safe. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, there was another auspicious snowfall. Everything made Li Er very satisfied. Li Er was in a good mood, so when Lao Tzu spoke, Li Er obeyed, and planned to carry his Lao Tzu out in person. "No, I will carry my father out."

Regarding his son's kindness, Li Yuan did not accept it, and waved his hand to refuse: "All these things should be done by Erlang's younger brother, how can a majestic emperor do such laborious work?"

Li Er's face was not very good-looking when the offer was rejected, but Li Er could only pretend to be a filial son to accept his many half-brothers.

Li Yuan is quite a soft-hearted person, otherwise he knew that Li Er had conflicts with the other two sons, so he let it go?Because he didn't know how to take care of it, the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh!But he really didn't expect Li Er to be so bold as to kill his brothers and brothers, and make way for Bi Fu. If he knew that there would be such an ending, would he create some artificial accidents?Hard to say.

In fact, Li Er wrongly blamed Li Yuan. Although he blamed his son a little bit, he couldn't ignore other children just because of this, right?Today, Li Yuan took advantage of Li Er's visit and called his other sons over, just to remind Li Er that these younger brothers of yours are also adults and should have a throne, don't forget.

Seeing that Li Er's complexion was not very good, Li Yuan let go of his attitude of being an old man, and said to Li Er: "Although as an emperor, I can't do this kind of hard work, but I can let Gao Ming do it for me."

The father gave a step down, and of course Li Er would not guard his younger brothers and not give his father face, this small episode is of course a smooth transition.

The sun was shining outside, and it was very warm.Being old, coupled with the four years of court life, made Li Yuan's resentment towards Li Er much lighter. It can be said that it can be seen that the person whose neck is buried in loess, what else can he ask for?

Li Yuan drank fragrant tea, and told his emperor's son about his heroic deeds, and the story of how he and his brothers got along well and worked together.Its purpose is nothing more than one - to ask Li Er to take the initiative to crown his other sons as kings!
Li Er pretended not to understand, this king was going to open a mansion when he went out, and he needed money everywhere, even the minister stopped him from repairing the Luoyang palace, but he wanted to spend the money for his younger brother?Although the money comes from the inner government, but I will feel heartbroken.

"Yuan Yu has quite a collection of books and has read countless books. This calligraphy is getting better and better. I haven't seen Erlang for a long time, right? Someone will bring it over and have a look at it later." Seeing that side-talking doesn't work anymore, Li Yuan picked it up and talked. In terms of specific people, "Yuanyu is not too young, and there is no throne yet, alas!" Li Yuan said this to tell Li Er that your younger brother is a nerd and has no effect on your throne. If you treat him well They can also add a good name to you.

The old man talked about this, so Li Er couldn't pretend to be stupid, and immediately stated: "After my son returns, I will make an order to crown the emperor as king."

"Okay, okay!" Li Yuan said two good ones, the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, with wrinkles everywhere, "I am old, I have nothing to think about, I just hope that you brothers can get along well , and a safe life!" It was not easy for Li Yuan to say this, and it could be regarded as officially letting go of Li Er's disobedience back then.

"My son, please remember my father's teachings!" Li Er was also happy in his heart. It was not easy for me to say this, so I immediately stood up and listened. In the eyes of my brothers, I really set an example of a filial son.

After Li Er went back, he did not follow up with the decree to become the king. He had other things to do. As for the matter of his younger brothers becoming kings, of course he did not forget, but deliberately postponed it for a few days.In ordinary people's homes, Lao Tzu has instructions, and sons must do their part, such as Cheng Huaimo, as long as Cheng Yaojin wants to ask for something from Jin Yu, it is Cheng Huaimo who has the cheek to do it.But that is an ordinary family after all, in the Tian family, this will not work.Li Er has to consider which brothers are suitable to be kings now, and whether his father really let go of things like that.Being an emperor is exhausting.

Although family affairs are very entangled, state affairs cannot be discarded.Li Er's next stop is Zuo Zangku.Zuozangku, according to current standards, is a complex of national reserve funds, national grain reserves, etc.The national tax revenue that the entire imperial court depends on is stored here.

The accounts of the treasury are very festive, and it is far from enough to build a few palaces, and it is more than enough to fight against Goguryeo. Li Erlong is very happy, look at it!

It is not unreasonable to say that Li Er can sit in this position, at least Li Er is very good at buying people's hearts, and there are many rewards.After refrigerating his father's suggestion for a few days, Li Er finally made the decree to become the king, which was the largest crowning of the Zhenguan Dynasty so far.The court was very lively, there was no expected stop, the ministers came up to flatter Li Eryi, brother harmony and so on, anyway, they were all good words.

The court is full of good words, but my wife is not necessarily the same.Empress Changsun was not in a hurry to crown her son king, but Concubine Wei Gui, who was under her eldest grandson, was in a hurry.

Concubine Wei is a member of Wei Ting's clan, but her status is higher than that of Wei Ting, and she belongs to the direct lineage.When Li Er was still the King of Qin, he intended to win over Chengnan Wei.At that time, there was a well-known platform, so Webster thought about testing Li Er, and Concubine Wei was the touchstone for testing Li Er.

Concubine Wei Gui was married once before entering the Qin Palace, and had a daughter with her ex-husband, and she was once reduced to a slave.But Li Er didn't dislike it, and took the house directly.The Wei family was overjoyed to see that Li Er was so magnanimous!It was also to make up for this test, and Wei Guifei's cousin was sent to Li Er's residence, which made the romantic story of "sisters work together as a husband".

It would be a lie to say that Li Er didn't dislike it at the time, but Wei Guifei's dignified and charming ordinary people really can't compare, so Li Er fell in love with married women`````` Let alone the next story, Li Er even accepted his sister-in-law and sister-in-law.On the one hand, Li Er likes it, and on the other hand, it is also some comfort to those aristocratic families, expressing that he recognizes the promise made by his elder brother and younger brother to them at the beginning, and he will follow through on it.

Concubine Wei leaned on Li Er's chest in a charming way, twisted the black beans on Li Er's chest, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, my concubine is old and decrepit, and I will not dare to see Your Majesty anymore."

"Hiss```" Li Er took a deep breath through his teeth, he just likes this tune, and Concubine Wei just grasped her sensitive point, and has a style that others can't match, "How can I despise Shu Niang? "Shun Niang is Wei Guifei's small characters, she has a virtuous appearance, but she dare not say it in private, Li Er just likes this kind of wife with great contrast.

"The concubine feels that she is getting old." Concubine Wei Gui grasped the timing just right, not to mention Li Erjingang glaring, not to say that he was dying, not going up or down, it was the most torturous. "There is only one Shen'er in front of Chenqie, but he didn't start a house like his uncle. If His Majesty gets tired of Chenqie one day, Chenqie won't even have a place to cry."

"Isn't it just to become the king? I have this plan." Li Er picked a comfortable posture and continued: "I won't lose my son, I just wait for the right time."

"Your Majesty can wait, but my concubines can't wait. I'm afraid Your Majesty won't think of your concubines when you wait until your concubines are old." Concubine Wei's eyes were red, as if Li Er would cry if she didn't agree, her acting skills were absolutely top-notch.

"Okay, seal it, I will seal it in a few days." Li Xiaoer was a little eager to try, and Li Er couldn't wait to agree.Or people always talk about "family diplomacy" because the pillow works!It took Li Yuan so much to get Li Er to agree, Concubine Wei just twisted the black beans a few times``````
"You are not joking, Your Majesty." Concubine Wei Guifei turned her grief into joy, and stepped on the horse to prevent Li Er from reneging on the debt afterwards.

"I have a golden mouth, how can I be kidding?" All men are lower body animals, and Li Er is no exception.After Li Er finished speaking, he put his hand on Concubine Wei Gui's head and pressed down. "Ms. Shu, hurry up```I can’t wait``````"

"Your Majesty will bully your courtiers and concubines." Concubine Wei Guifei cast a coquettish glance at Li Er, stretched out her tongue to hold the black bean, and Li Er breathed a long sigh of relief.

The experience of a mature woman is not covered, Li Xiaoer's eyes are already glaring when he speaks in a few words, after a while, the tent is warm in spring and the scenery is infinite``````
Li Er promised Concubine Wei that it was true, but he did not say that only Li Shen was sealed, so after sealing his younger brothers, Li Er also sealed a lot of his sons.

"If you want to say that this belongs to Tang, there are quite a lot of ideas." Li Er looked at the abacus in front of him and boasted.Chang Le next to him was delighted, his face couldn't help being happy, how could he not want to listen to his father's praise of his lover?

"This is a good abacus, and it saves a lot of trouble than calculating." Empress Changsun sat next to Li Er, looking like a good wife and mother.

"En." Li Er nodded in agreement, and then asked Chang Le who was standing at the side: "Lizhi, I see that you are quite proficient in using it just now, is there a formula for this usage?"

"If you go back to the father, yes. And it's simple and easy to understand, and you can get started quickly." Changle said obediently.

"That's good. Later, you can tell that boy Gui Tang, just tell him what I said, and ask him to prepare and teach this method to the people in the household department." Li Er is very good at learning people.A few days ago, I went to Zuo Zangku. Although there were a lot of things, it took a lot of time to take inventory. Li Er saw it this time, so of course he wanted to promote it.

"Yes." Chang Le saluted and accepted the order, feeling relieved, another chance to meet that person alone, and it was justified!

"How are those two workshops?" Li Erhu fiddled with the abacus beads and asked Changle.Although it is not in a hurry to destroy the status of the powerful, but it cannot be delayed for too long.I have the ability to control the family, but what about my son and grandson?Li Er didn't know what to do.For Li's longevity, this problem must be solved by himself.

"If you go back to Father Emperor, if the weather is good, you can start work in mid-February, and it won't be beyond March at the latest." Changle is very concerned about this project, not because of political significance, but because it is a cooperation with the Jin family.

"Well, that's good." Li Er nodded in satisfaction, this is a sharp sword in his hand.Immediately, Li Er remembered something, and said to Chang Le: "I heard that Gui Tang has a small printing workshop at home?"

"I haven't heard of this ```daughter```" Changle blushed a little, hesitated for a moment, and decided to cover up for that person.

Seeing Chang Le blushing, Li Er thought that Chang Le was afraid of lapses, and he would blame her, so he said: "If there is, don't worry about it, as long as it is not too much."

"Yes." Chang Le breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the man had passed this level, and he wanted to tell him the good news later.

"If there is nothing else to do, step back first." Li Er told Chang Le.

Naturally, Chang Le was fine, picked up the abacus on the table, and Shi Li went out from the house.

"Guanyin maidservant, I'll show you something good." After Changle closed the door, Li Ershen said to Empress Changsun mysteriously.

"What good things are you afraid that you won't be able to meet people?" Empress Changsun looked puzzled, and reached out to take the book that Li Er took out from her arms.When he opened it, his face turned red, he spat on Li Er, and said angrily, "Where did your Majesty buy the cheap stuff? You know how to use it to humiliate my concubine!"

What Li Er took out was the "Cloud and Rain 24 Styles of Enlightenment" produced by Jinyu Printing Workshop!Seeing Empress Changsun raising her hand to throw it away, Li Er got up and grabbed it and said, "Hey, it's sold out outside, so I bought it with great difficulty. Guess who painted this?"

"The concubine doesn't know." The blush on Empress Changsun's face hadn't subsided, but in Li Er's eyes, she was more shy.

"Haha!" Li Er said, "I'm afraid Guanyin's maidservant couldn't even think of it. It took me a lot of effort to find out. This is Jin Gui Tang's kid!"

"Ah?" Empress Changsun was surprised and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Do you know why I don't let Chang Le take care of that small workshop? If it's closed, where can I get such good things?" Li Er looked gloomy, and he was still looking forward to the follow-up after the Enlightenment Chapter``````
