Without Li Yuan's fate, if you were a wise king and worked hard, you would die early. If you were a foolish king, the world would collapse and you might die earlier than the wise king.
Li Yuanji hoped that he would live a long life. He hoped that after Sun Simiao died of old age, he would live another seventy or eighty years before dying.
After Li Yuanji left, Li Xiaogong slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with various complex emotions.
Some hate him for not fighting, some are angry at him for being weak, and some are relieved and happy.
"Why……"
Li Xiaogong sighed quietly, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep.
Li Yuanji walked out of the main room of the jingshe and stretched his waist.
Li Ling, Li Xu, and Li Chengye were playing wildly in the yard while dragging the stumbling Li Chengye; Yang Miaoyan and a group of women were preparing farm tools for the next few days in a corner of the yard; a group of half-grown men poked their heads out of the side room,
Looking at Luofu Buqu, Wang Xuance, Yu Wenzheng, Chai Lingwu and others who were working hard on the loess outside the yard.
This kind of life is already very good for Li Yuanji.
By the way, I seemed to have seen it just now...Wang Xuance?!
Li Yuanji looked intently at the yellow land outside the yard again, and saw Wang Xuance's slightly thin figure. He looked back at Li Xiaogong, who was sleeping soundly in the house, with a puzzled look on his face.
How did Li Xiaogong return the hostages?
Did he come back because he felt his abilities were limited and was afraid of misleading others, or did he just bring Wang Xuance back for a visit?
Li Yuanji wanted to find out more about Li Xiaogong, but Li Xiaogong started snoring, and it was hard for him to wake Li Xiaogong up.
Looking up halfway up the mountain.
The manor that belongs to him halfway up the mountain has almost been built.
The cornices faintly peeking out from the trees shimmer with a faint golden glow under the sunlight, and paired with the leaves that have begun to turn yellow or red, it is quite poetic.
It's just that I can't move in yet because the craftsmen still have some finishing work to complete.
For example, guiding the warm spring from the top of the mountain to flow into the manor; another example is transplanting various exotic flowers and plants from the mountain, including winter plum and summer bamboo.
In addition, the newly built manor is not suitable for living immediately. It is too damp and has no human touch.
Therefore, it needs to be dried all winter and spring. After it is dry, the eunuchs and maids of Prince Qi's palace can live in it to add a human touch before they can live in it.
Li Yuanji made a rough calculation. If he wanted to live in this health care manor specially built for him by Li Yuan, he would have to wait until next summer.
However, compared to the Tanshan Literary Museum which has just started to be built, and Chang'an Xinglu, it is already very good.
Li Yuan has always been generous to his own people.
In order to allow all the clan members to enjoy good educational resources, Li Yuan granted 1,600 acres of land in one go for the construction of the Tanshan Library, and ordered the craftsmen to build the Tanshan Library according to the style of Guozixue.
Li Yuanji saw the drawings. After the completion of the Tanshan Literary Museum, although it was smaller than the Guozi School in terms of scale, it was far superior to the Guozi School in other aspects.
Take the archery school field as an example. Hundreds of students from Guozixue may use an archery school field covering an area of about three or four acres, but three or four students from Tanshan Literary Museum can use one.
It is located in an archery school field covering an area of three to four acres.
It can be seen that Li Yuan really wanted to establish a good educational platform for the descendants of the clan.
But Li Yuanji does not want to be the leader on this educational platform.
As for Chang'an Xinglu, it was Sun Simiao who requested that it be built at the foot of Jiulongtan Mountain.
Sun Simiao felt that the location of Jiulongtan Mountain was closer to nature than other locations in Chang'an City and more suitable for patients to recuperate.
As for Jiulongtan Mountain, it is far away from Chang'an City, making it inconvenient for patients to seek medical treatment.
Sun Simiao also gave his own explanation.
Sun Simiao believed that the purpose of Xinglu in Chang'an was to provide medical treatment to the poor, not to the nobles in Chang'an City. The nobles in Chang'an City also had no shortage of medical resources.
Therefore, building Chang'an Xinglu on Jiulongtan Mountain can not only circumvent the daily curfew in Chang'an City, but also provide some convenience for people from all over Chang'an City and even more places to seek medical treatment.
Li Yuanji always felt that in addition to the two reasons he said, there were other reasons why Sun Simiao made such a decision.
For example, avoid those people in the apricot forest who come to ask for advice every day, and avoid the entanglement of those nobles.
Sun Simiao has an indifferent temperament, and it is reasonable to have this kind of mentality.
Li Yuanji stood at the door of the main room of the monastery and admired the scenery for a while. Then he put on his boots and went out to enjoy the scenery up close.
Autumn has entered, and the red and yellow leaves all over the mountains are still worth admiring.
In the afternoon, I returned to the monastery.
Li Xiaogong had already woken up, had washed up, her hair on her temples was still stuck to her face, and was eating.
A leg of lamb, a small plate of green vegetables, half a bowl of wheat rice, and a small jar of good wine were all eaten by Li Xiaogong.
After eating and drinking, he exchanged greetings with Li Yuanji, walked out of the monastery in a swaggering manner, mounted his horse and hurried back to Chang'an City.
Wang Xuance was not taken away, he really came back.
As for why, Li Xiaogong didn't say it, and Li Yuanji couldn't rush to ask.
Wang Xuance came back, and Luo Shixin also reappeared in Jiulongtan Mountain, becoming the tutor of Wang Xuance and others.
After Luo Shixin taught Wang Xuance and others, Li Yuanji asked Luo Shixin to go under the tree on the side of the loess land and asked, "You seem to be very optimistic about Wang Xuance?"
When Wang Xuance was there, Luo Shixin would personally teach them how to practice martial arts.
When Wang Xuance was away, Luo Shixin would only send his subordinates to teach the remaining people how to practice martial arts.
It can be seen that Luo Shixin obviously treated Wang Xuance differently.
When faced with Li Yuanji's question, Luo Shixin did not hide anything and said with a generous smile: "This guy has a good frame and is a young martial artist.
He has a flexible mind and is not pedantic. He can remember many things I said immediately and even use them.
So I’m very optimistic about him.”
Li Yuanji said suspiciously: "I remember you don't like smooth people very much?"
Luo Shixin is a decent person and doesn't like to deal with cunning people.
It is difficult to become friends with a person who is too narrow-minded.
Luo Shixin said that Wang Xuance was flexible and not pedantic, which was no different from saying that Wang Xuance was slippery.
Therefore, Li Yuanji was very curious as to why Luo Shixin looked at Wang Xuance in a different light and admired him so much.
Luo Shixin said with a smile: "I suffered a lot because I was too stubborn and rigid. So I don't want my students to suffer a lot like me."
Li Yuanji suddenly understood and nodded thoughtfully.
This is easy to understand.
Whether you are an upright person or a smooth person, as long as you suffer too much in one temperament, you don't want your descendants to follow your old path again.
Just like many people in later generations who have suffered hardships in various walks of life, they do not want their children to be in the same profession as themselves.
"You call Wang Xuance your student, do you want to formally admit him?"
After Li Yuanji understood clearly why Luo Shixin looked at Wang Xuance in a different light, he noticed the difference in Luo Shixin's words.
Luo Shixin smiled without hesitation: "Don't there be a saying among civil servants, which is to acquire talents and teach them? Wang Xuance is a good boy, and I want to teach him."
Li Yuanji pondered for a moment and said seriously: "This skill of yours is hard-won. If you want to pass it on, you must think carefully about it."
Although some of Luo Shixin's skills were inherited from his family, most of them were learned from Zhang Xutuo and other veterans. After years of hard work, he finally mastered them and made them his own.
Therefore, if Luo Shixin wants to spread his skills, Li Yuanji must remind Luo Shixin to think carefully.
"I have thought it through carefully."
Luo Shixin smiled calmly.
Li Yuanji hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You have gained this skill with your own blood. If you want to pass it on to your descendants, you should also take a good look at whether they can take up your passion."
The smile on Luo Shixin's face became calmer and brighter, "I have drained all my blood, just because I don't want to let my descendants bleed anymore, and I don't want them to be burdened with too many things like I was."
Li Yuanji took a deep look at Luo Shixin and said, "It seems that you have made up your mind?"
Luo Shixin nodded without hesitation.
Li Yuanji said with emotion: "In a few days, I will ask Wang Ruren to bring the apprenticeship ceremony and go to your house to officially become a disciple. I will ask Wang Ruren to warn Wang Xuance to be filial to you, otherwise I will break his legs."
Luo Shixin smiled heartily and said: "That minister is at home, waiting for Wang Xuance to become his disciple."
Li Yuanji nodded and said, "I remember that Mrs. Chen in your house is pregnant?"
Luo Shixin smiled and nodded sharply.
He is almost thirty, and it is really not easy for someone in the family to get pregnant.
"If he is a man, let him enter the Tanshan Literary Museum; if he is a woman, let him follow the princess."
Li Yuanji said slowly.
The smile on Luo Shixin's face froze and he said seriously: "Your Highness, this is not why I accept Wang Xuance as a disciple."
Li Yuanji angrily scolded: "Do you think I said this in return for you? I am looking for a husband for Ling'er and Xu'er, and a princess for Chengye."
Luo Shixin's face changed, "How does this happen?"
Mrs. Chen in his house is just a concubine.
The children they gave birth to were born to concubines, so it was not easy for them to be husbands to county lords or concubines to county princes.
Li Yuanji cursed loudly: "Then you should work harder. Otherwise, who will my daughter marry? Who will my daughter marry?"
Marriage is a characteristic of the feudal dynasty, and the most suitable partner for marriage is naturally a well-matched match.
If the door is not right or the household is not right, then 'one's own people' will be given priority.
For example, Li Yuan liked to betroth his daughters to the sons of important ministers. Historically, Li Shimin also liked to betroth his daughters to the sons of important ministers.
It's not because of how good the minister's son is.
Instead, it gave important ministers a guarantee.
As long as you are loyal and do your best for me, I will ensure that you will prosper for generations to come.
As Li Yuanji was a member of the royal family, his children could not avoid the fate of marriage.
Rather than being randomly matched by Li Yuan, it is better to cultivate him from an early age.
