Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 82 Comparison of Li Erai (Please recommend)
Li Er was a little depressed two days ago, and the reason was because of Empress Xiao.This time Li Jing returned to court and brought Empress Xiao and Yang Guang's grandson Yang Zhengdao back as captives. Since it was an ancestor worship, in order to show that Wenzhiwugong is ahead of the dynasty, it is necessary to bring Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao back as a sacrifice. product?Of course, not to mention Booger Khan, you must bring it with you.

The problem lies here. Although she is already an old woman who is nearly [-] years old, how should I say it? "Half-aged and young lady, the charm is still there." These two words perfectly describe Empress Xiao's temperament, appearance and figure.After seeing Li Er, he felt itchy in his heart, but Wei Zheng had already vaccinated Li Er before Li Jing's class teacher returned to court, so although Li Er felt itchy in his heart, there was nothing he could do.Thinking of this, Li Er felt itchy for the instigator—Jin Gui Tang. Isn't this too much of a nosy?Afraid that I will accept Empress Xiao and make you call me father?But having said that, since he married Yang Guang's daughter, Jin Yu is going to marry Yang Guang's youngest daughter. In a sense, he is also a brother-in-law?He wants to call himself brother-in-law?Li Er was very unwilling.

After returning from offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Li Er held a celebration banquet, which could be regarded as a clean-up for Empress Xiao. After all, Empress Xiao is her mother-in-law in name, and a high seat is inevitable.

During the banquet, Li Er's self-esteem was troubled, he used some improper means to be the emperor, and his father was still alive, so we can't compare it with the time when the father was in power, so let's compare it with Yang Guang when he was the emperor.Since we want to investigate, among the people here, I am afraid that the only one who can ask Empress Xiao is the most appropriate, after all, the couple have been married for 23 years.Li Er immediately asked Empress Xiao: "How do you think the scene in front of you is better than the Sui Palace?"

What kind of person is Yang Guang?Empress Xiao couldn't understand it better. There are ambitions, and there are great achievements, but later they fell on luxury, years of fighting and not caring about people's livelihood.The banquet of that year is still unforgettable for Empress Xiao: there were hundreds of huge luminous pearls hanging under the grand banquet hall, but now they are just candles; dozens of bonfires are lit in front of the grand banquet hall, and all of them are made of high-quality sandalwood. , I didn’t burn much in one night, maybe [-] cars, but now I just burn some torches soaked in fat; when I drink at the big banquet, I use almost transparent glass cups, but now it’s just porcelain cups` ````` There are so many gaps, there are too many.At this time, Empress Xiao was already a "husband" who had gone through five monarch levels, so of course she understood what Li Erwen meant.However, she had to bow her head under the eaves, but she didn't want to talk too much about her husband, so she just replied calmly: "Your Majesty is the king who established a foundation and established a career. Compared with you?"

What you say is said to be of a high level, and I believe most people can't tell it.How about the ostentation of the court night banquet without a word in advance? A Tai Chi push hand pushed Li Er unconscious. Li Er was so happy at the time: How good would it be to have such a confidante?Being able to get along with five monarchs for so many years must be "wonderful" in some respects?How about sealing Zhaorong?
Thinking of this, Li Er unconsciously glanced at Wei Zheng next to him, and then at Xiao Yu. He was afraid that the old man Wei Zheng had already insinuated himself once, and if he gave him another excuse this time, the old man would not Curse yourself?It's fine because of state affairs, but if you are scolded because of your lust, where will you put your old face?Secondly, Xiao Yu is Empress Xiao's younger brother, if he brought Empress Xiao into the harem with such a special status, where would Xiao Yu face?After much deliberation, Li Er still decided to give up this lovely "Cockscomb Flower". If you regret it, let's regret it, and go back to Jin Guitang to get back the position! (About cockscomb, it’s not that the flower is so good, but because it’s another name for a kind of famous utensil.)
The guest of honor chatted happily with the wine, and the night banquet was not luxurious but had a good atmosphere.At about midnight, Li Er felt that it was almost the same, so he immediately proposed: "The Xiao family returned to the capital thousands of miles away, which can be regarded as fulfilling Xiao Aiqing's longing. Come, make a decree, and give the Xiao family a mansion in Xingdaoli , ten maids, ten eunuchs, and twenty bodyguards." Li Er didn't mention Yang Guang at all, and he didn't call Empress Xiao Yang Xiao, nor did he admit that Empress Xiao was once the empress of a country, and only called Xiao Shi. It can be regarded as an expression of the sourness in my heart.

When Empress Xiao heard it, it was considered house arrest, but it was better than losing her life, let alone serving a generation of kings. She didn't keep women's morals, and it would be good to eat fast, chant Buddha, and make atonement. She immediately thanked her and said: "Thank you Your Majesty's gift."

(I hope that Hoe doesn't dream at night. If he dreams of Li Er pointing at Hoe's nose and scolding: How can I be as bad as your kid? Do you still want to mess up? Then Hoe will break out in a cold sweat.)
Empress Changsun must attend this kind of occasion. Seeing her husband constantly looking at Empress Xiao, Empress Changsun knew that her husband was interested.If he made that kind of request, the eldest grandson would not refuse, but now that Jin Yu and Wei Zheng were vaccinated, Li Er did not make such an excessive request.When Empress Changsun saw Li Er mentioning the reward, she knew that this matter was over, and she had the idea of ​​thanking Jin Yu in her heart. If Jin Yu hadn't exposed this matter first, there might be another one now. The famous concubine.

It was another good story when this matter got out, indeed the rumor that Li Erna Xiao was Zhao Rong was missing.

It happened by coincidence that within a few days, Jin Guitang really hit the mark, and there were many small western confederations who joined forces to play, please call Li Er "Heavenly Khan", Li Er is so happy!Ready!

In the third year of Daye, Qimin Khan came to court to pay tribute, saying, "From under the sky and above the earth, under the sun and the moon, there is only the saint Khan. Today is a great day. May the saint Khan live a thousand years, long live, and always be like today." So Yang Guang got the title of "Saint Khan".Li Er also knew about this, so when the government was in power, Li Er was a little bit self-respecting again. He wanted to know what others thought of the "Saint Khan" and "Heavenly Khan".

"According to my subordinates, Yang Guang's reputation as a 'Saint Khan' in the previous dynasty was justified. It was simply because when foreigners came to the court, Yang Guangda entertained merchants from the Western Regions by performing a variety of operas, and gave them free board and lodging. Gold, silver and treasures are exchanged for a huge amount of treasury wealth in order for them to spread a good reputation for themselves." Although Wei Zheng would appear to be direct, but he is not a second, organized his thoughts and said: "During the previous dynasty, there was such a theft. Yang Guang ordered Yu Shicheng to investigate the case. Anyone who looked like a thief would be arrested and tortured. In the end, these people could not bear the torture, and four out of the nine were not thieves. However, Yang Guang had already ordered the execution. Killed. Looking at the Tang Dynasty under His Majesty’s rule, so far this year, only nine people have been executed for crimes, and the number of criminals in the past six months is comparable to one case in the previous dynasty. It is clear at a glance whether it is high or low.”

Li Er was so happy in his heart, he was so happy. If someone else said it, he might not be so happy. Who is Wei Zheng?I have never just picked on my own faults, never flattered myself!I heard Wei Zheng say that today, it's worth it!However, Li Er also knows how to be a human being, and he did not forget to share the credit when he was praised. He immediately said: "Yang Guang is not easy, nor is he a king of injustice. In fact, his ministers are not dedicated enough. The ministers and workers back then could not share the same. Admonishment, I only want Yang Guang and Longyan to be happy. It is strange that such a monarch and minister are undefeated. Only with the assistance of many lovers can I avoid all kinds of previous dynasties. The Tang Dynasty can have today, and everyone loves it. Your credit is indisputable!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" All the important officials standing below replied in unison.

Li Er's heart was a little swollen, and there was nothing better than being recognized.Asked: "Do you still have this performance, all my loves?"

"The minister has the instructions." Zhang Xuansu (name of official position) saw that Li Er was in a good mood today, and more importantly, he recognized the importance of the minister. Even if he said something wrong today, he would not be punished, so he planned to send The direct remonstrance that has been typed for several days is spoken out.

"Zhang Aiqing, let's play!" Li Er saw that someone was really playing, so he calmed down his numb legs and said.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful and considerate, covering the whole world. There is nothing that you don't agree with in the government orders you convey, and there is nothing you can't do that you want to do." Zhang Xuansu first came up and patted Li Er's resounding flattery, and then said: "Wei I privately thought about Qin Shihuang's way of being a king. Why did such a powerful country fall under the hands of Qin II? It was all because his father and son pursued comfort and luxury, went against the sky and the people, and did not care about the suffering of the people. Therefore, we should promote frugality and reduce taxes and labor for the people so that the imperial court can last forever.”

Li Er listened attentively to Zhang Xuansu's words, and kept nodding his head in agreement.

Seeing Li Er nodding, Zhang Xuansu felt a little more confident in his heart, and then said: "Your Majesty is now in the process of creating a foundation, and the people's livelihood is still relatively withered due to the influence of the previous dynasty. I think it is better to abstain from one's desires, and this It is still necessary to start with Your Majesty first, so that the people of the world can set an example. But now His Majesty intends to issue labor labor to repair the Qianyuan Palace in Luoyang for patrol hunting, and I secretly think it is impossible. , Expend hundreds of millions of efforts to attack the evils of hundreds of kings, the example of the previous dynasty is still in front of you, I sincerely hope that your majesty will think about it, if there is nothing for the rest to laugh at, then the world will be very lucky."

After listening to Li Er, he sighed: "I didn't think about it, I almost made a big mistake!" Then he said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Aiqing, it is really not suitable to build the Qianyuan Palace, so I played it according to today's Xuansu, and stopped. Right. The only one among the people is not as good as one person. Two hundred pieces of Xuansu silk can be given."

After Zhang Xuansu finished thanking him, Wei Zheng praised: "Mr. Zhang has the power to return to heaven. It can be said that the words of a benevolent man are very sharp!"

"Wei Aiqing don't need to underestimate yourself. I also like the direct advice from all the Aiqings. I hope that all Aiqings will be good at the beginning and end, and continue to be like today!"The example of the previous dynasty is still in front of him, Li Er valued the minister's direct remonstrance, so he encouraged him.

"The ministers will do their best!"
