Green ants' newly fermented wine is served in a small red clay stove. It's snowing in the evening, so I can drink a glass without any trouble.
This is the most beautiful description of the joy of life by the ancients. It will be even more beautiful if there is a beautiful woman accompanying you, with a spoon in bare hands, a slow-dressed belt, and a body decorated with pearls and greenery.
As the saying goes, there is no beauty in the world, and beauty is a person who is pleasing to the eye.
As long as you look comfortable, it doesn't matter whether you are beautiful or not. What matters is the quality of life.
…………
In the evening of winter, the north wind was howling outside and the sky was gloomy. However, inside a room in the inner residence of Mrs. Chu's Mansion, it was like spring.
Li Po sat leisurely on the couch, eating a few bites of food, drinking a few sips of wine, and joking with Li Xiuning from time to time. Both mentally and physically, he was greatly relaxed.
The twins came over to say hello to their grandfather and mother, and Li Po hugged them for a while.
The daughters are not very close to their father, and they only see him once or twice a month, and sometimes they don't see him for a long time. It is difficult for the children to have a concrete image of their father in their minds.
It's just that Li Xiuning often warned them, so they didn't dodge when they saw this strange grandpa like ordinary children.
Li Po didn't care much about these things. He didn't care much about his children to begin with, and it was even more so now that he had more and more children.
Maybe when the children grow up and start to cause him trouble, he can face his own bloodline.
From this point alone, Li Po is undoubtedly a person who does great things.
The kind of person who is considerate to his wife and concubines and takes good care of his children, even later, lacks the basic conditions for a big career. (Don't curse, just stating a fact)
What's more, in today's world, a good man looks for the values that his wife is like clothes and brothers are like siblings. For example, when you are talking about big things, you always think about taking care of your wife's family, and others will say it secretly after seeing it.
, the vertical parts are insufficient and resourceful.
So everyone will alienate you, because you don't meet the standards of a person who does big things. You can't even leave your wife and children behind. How can you be ruthless enough to do big things?
…………
Li Po feels good about himself and has always felt that he is a compassionate and righteous person. He often criticizes the actions of Yang Guang, Li Yuan and others from the moral high ground.
In fact, since he became the emperor, he must have certain qualities, otherwise how would he be where he is today? It's just that along the way, no one gave him any chance to end his relationship.
If Li Yuan had shown up at the city gate with Li Jing and his family when he was approaching the city of Chang'an, how could Li Po have retreated?
…………
Li Po was undoubtedly lucky. He didn't do anything ugly in the process of winning the world, and he treated his heroes very well.
The treatment of the Li family in Longxi was not bloody, and he and Li Xiuning staged a painful drama.
This is not because of how tender he is, but because of his clever methods.
…………
The twins were a little reluctant to let go around their father. Li Po teased them to take a sip of the wine. The twins became happy and thought it was quite delicious.
Li Xiuning pushed him angrily and asked her daughter to recite two poems to her father, both of which were "masterpieces" by Li Po. It was obvious that Li Xiuning had the intention of pleasing her lover.
Li Po, the copycat, was a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned and praised them cheerfully, saying that they were much smarter than their brothers.
The second mother asked, who is the elder brother?
Li Po laughed and said, the stupid King Qin is your brother...
Quietly, someone opened the curtain and came in. She happened to hear the word "King of Qin" and her body froze, but the King of Qin in her mind was not a stupid person.
"See Your Majesty..."
Li Po looked at Changsun Wujiu who was paying homage to him, still dressed like a maid in coarse clothes and makeup. He looked at Liu Xiuning and smiled and said, "Are you here to make tea for me again?"
After what happened last time, Li Xiuning no longer had so many entanglements. She rolled her eyes at her lover and said with a smile: "Gao Jian has left Beijing and returned to his hometown. She naturally wants to come and say thank you."
Li Po said hypocritically, "Gao Jian has a good life. It coincides with the general amnesty, so there is no need to thank him. Changsun Wuji is on an envoy to Gaochang, so don't blame me."
Changsun Wujiu stood up, thinking about himself, and chuckled softly: "Brother, for the sake of official position, regardless of the life and death of my uncle, it is really disappointing. Your Majesty punished him with small punishments and severe punishments. It is too late for me to be happy, so how can I dare to complain to Your Majesty?"
Seeing him, Shi Shiran went to make tea. The atmosphere was just right. The twins immediately fell out of favor and were quickly led away.
At this time, the three men and women in the house had a tacit understanding. Li Po had already made his words clear last time, and now that Changsun Wujiu could still appear in front of him when he came again, it meant that they no longer wanted to live a lonely life.
It's not easy to make a move with my sister-in-law in front of me. Li Po... felt it was quite exciting, and he said a few absurd words in his mind before he could comfort his "sense of shame".
When the tea was offered, the "fat" lady finally felt a little shy. Li Po was not shy at this time, so he took it easily, took a sip, and let her sit on the couch.
Li Xiuning poured wine for him, "I heard something happened at Chang'an Academy?"
Li Po knew that he shouldn't be hasty in this meeting. He couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If he behaved in a sexual way, he would be in a bad position. It was more serious to talk about gossip at this time.
When I come here from now on, I can comfortably feel the warmth. I have to say that he is really thoughtful.
"Why, someone is begging you again?"
Li Xiuning shook his head, "That's not true, but as you know, eldest brother, I'm not the only one in the house. Which family can't say that they are scholars?
In the past two years, there were so many people begging for permission to go to Chang'an Academy to study, but now that all the people offering wine have been taken to Dali Temple, who can be safe?"
Li Po didn't want to talk about political affairs, but the information revealed by Li Xiuning's words made him feel more and more that what Li Gang said was reasonable. This was no longer a trivial matter and must be taken seriously.
If you continue to investigate like Daiwei, it will only cause more and more complaints. This is true for everything. You can't overturn a whole boat of people with one stroke. There are too many people falling into the water, and you can't even think about being alone.
If Changsun Wuji was still in charge of Dali Temple, he should be thinking about how to advise the emperor at this time, rather than just investigating.
Dai Wei behaves with a spirit that is not afraid of difficulties, and is very suitable for the position of Dali Temple Minister. This position requires strictness and formidability, which makes people feel that even if nothing happens when they enter Dali Temple, they have to shed their skin.
Changsun Wuji is too tactful, and he probably can see the general situation more clearly than Daiwei, but Dali Temple is different from Chang'an Lingya, any eucalyptus in his hands will be thrown into the mud, and in the end he will definitely end up with you.
Paint.
Changsun Wuji later became so famous. In addition to his own talent, it is estimated that another main reason is that he was Li Shimin's uncle and played a vital role in the struggle to win the throne.
It’s just a matter of gaining Li Shimin’s trust.
Now that he doesn't have that opportunity, he can't stand above everyone else, and his shortcomings are magnified a lot.
…………
Li Po thought to himself, but did not tell Li Xiuning more about Chang'an Academy, lest she take advantage of the opportunity to plead with him again. With a precedent, some things would not be as casual as before.
Li Po took a sip of wine and changed the subject, "How's it going at the Zong Mansion? No one will say anything when you go, right?"
Li Xiuning glanced at her lover and sighed inwardly. This really made her feel a little uncomfortable. It was not worth the gain to plead for someone as unrelated as Gao Jian.
"I certainly wouldn't dare to make a mistake in person, but I can't hear what I say behind my back, right? But as long as the Queen and the eldest princess don't make things difficult for me, everything else is fine."
Li Po chuckled, and the eldest grandson lady was picking up food for him, and he ate it smoothly, "There aren't many things going on over there. I told Li Chun that she would help you with the general affairs.
You should be careful, she has been practicing swordsmanship for many years, and when she gets angry, she will poke her with her sword no matter who it is. As an elder brother, I have been poked by her several times, and it hurts."
Li Xiuning laughed at his amusement, and the "fat" lady also covered her mouth and chuckled. After the last contact, she had gotten used to it a lot.
The emperor was very majestic, which was normal, but when he talked and laughed, he was... completely different from the men she had seen. He seemed very approachable.
It's very unique... to be honest, it can please my daughter's family very much.
Look at how funny Li Sanniang was. Not even the emperor, but she has never seen such a cheerful smile.
Li Xiuning, "I just won't mess with her, why is she poking at me?"
Li Po glanced at her sideways and said, "You, Li Sanniang, have a good reputation. She is always looking for opportunities to compete with you when she sees Xin Xin. Moreover, you have taken her place. If it were me, I would poke you a few times."
calm down."
Li Xiuning's smile gradually faded. She had been pampered since she was a child. Even during the war, she only led the troops behind her and never actually fought in battle. With her skills in swords, bows, fists and kicks, there was a high probability that she would not be her opponent.
Li Xiuning couldn't help but be frightened as she imagined herself being poked to the ground and rolling all over the floor.
Next to him, Changsun Wujiu saw that his little girl was frightened, so he said softly: "Your Majesty, don't try to bluff people. Sanniang is the sister-in-law of the eldest princess, how could she be rude to Sanniang?"
Li Po smiled and said: "You have never seen her temper. Ever since she started practicing swordsmanship, even the queen has to give her a few points when she meets her, otherwise she will always find a chance to compete with you."
Changsun Wujiu widened his already big eyes, "Princess, do you want to be a hero?"
After a few jokes, Li Xiuning calmed down. She was not an ordinary woman. Thinking about how Li Chun came to see her a few years ago, why didn't she just say a few words and send her away?
There is no need to be too afraid. Although the man is a little willful, he is still a reasonable person. "Brother, it's the same. What a good girl, but she was raised to be so strong..."
Now that she is a princess, even if she is not a hero, no one in the world can do anything to her."
Li Po nodded proudly, "She does have a heroic spirit, but she has also read a lot of books. When she was in Jinyang, she even secretly hid the teacher's cane, which shows that she is also afraid.
Ha ha……"
