There is a saying that if you stand high, you can see far. But if you stand high, you will be exposed to more wind and frost.
If you can't withstand the wind and frost, no matter how high you stand, you will fall badly.
The group of people who are holding sacrifices in the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall are not those who stand on a high place, swallow the world with anger, and have the world in their hearts.
But how many of them had a good ending?
The most noble Li Yuan is now in control of the power, in heaven and on earth, and he is the only one who is supreme. But in his later years, he could only hide in the depths of the forbidden palace, playing the pipa in self-pity.
Li Jiancheng, who was slightly inferior to Li Yuan, now also occupies the position of prince and controls the promotion and scheduling of most civil servants in the world. It can be said that he has great power, but he does not even have the power to do so in his later years.
Li Shimin, who was slightly inferior to Li Jiancheng, now occupies the position of General Tiance, ranking high above all officials. Without Li Yuanji, he would have taken several steps further in the future to reach the point where he would be the emperor for eternity and look down upon all the heroes.
But his later years were ordinary, and his sons rebelled one after another, which forced him to attack his sons again and again, eventually leading to tragedies of white-haired people sending black-haired people to him again and again.
Even after his death, his son secretly rubbed a handful of ashes on his face.
As for the others, although they met two emperors who treated them fairly well, a large number of them also paid a heavy price in the succession of imperial powers, and their later years were not satisfactory.
Some people even had their graves dug up after they died. Some people's families were reunited soon after their death.
There were also some people who were implicated by their descendants and were soon reunited with the three clans. They slept well in the imperial mausoleum and were also moved out of the imperial mausoleum.
Therefore, having a promising future, especially a big one, is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, life may not be as good as that of ordinary people.
At least, in this era when the imperial power does not go to the countryside and filial piety is highly valued, when a common person gets old, as long as he has children, he can enjoy meticulous care and filial piety that is almost god-like.
If you have some wealth and some status, you can still sit as a local emperor in the countryside. "I don't quite understand what His Highness the Fourth Highness means by this." The prison officer said, licking his face.
Li Yuanji smiled cheerfully and didn't say much.
The fact that the prison officer could say this proved that the prison officer understood the meaning of his words, but he did not want to discuss this topic with him, so he had to pretend to be confused.
"You go and watch outside, and then call me after the Nuo opera festival is over."
Li Yuanji saw the four little guys opening their mouths and starting to yawn, so he asked the prison officer to guard them outside.
The prison officer nodded without hesitation, and after leaving the turret, he personally guarded one side of the turret.
This is why many people like to let their servants do everything.
Don’t ask questions or ask questions, don’t push or hold back, do whatever you are told, and never make any compromises.
Li Yuanji coaxed the four little ones to fall asleep, and he lay slightly on the arc-shaped wooden backrest of the sofa and closed his eyes.
In a daze, I felt someone inserting something into my nostril.
Frowning, he opened his eyes and saw four little guys who had woken up. They were holding pens and stuffing them into their noses. One of them was dipped in ink, as if he was preparing to draw something on his face.
The prison officer bent over and stood quietly not far from the four little guys. "You are itchy, right?" Li Yuanji threatened angrily.
The four little guys screamed strangely and ran away quickly.
Before Li Yuanji could speak again, the prison officer wisely sent someone to follow him. "Is the Nuo opera ceremony over?"
Li Yuanji stared at the prison officer and asked after the men sent by the prison guard followed the four little guys out of the corner tower.
The prison officer hurriedly said: "Back to the Fourth Highness, we are finishing the work."
Li Yuanji glanced outside and looked at the sky. Seeing that the bright moon in the sky had only a shadow left, he couldn't help but said: "You have been working hard all night and you haven't finished yet?"
The sky in the north, especially the sky in the twelfth lunar month.
When the sky is bright, the moon can still see a faint shadow. Only when the sun rises, the moon will quietly disperse.
So when he saw that there was only a faint shadow left on the moon, Li Yuanji knew that it was almost dawn. The prison officer pursed his lips and did not dare to say a word. Only Li Yuanji dared to speak rudely and said that the Nuo Opera Festival was a toss.
Others don't dare to talk nonsense.
When Li Yuanji saw that the prison officer was silent, he asked again: "Why did this year's Nuo Opera Festival take so long?"
The prison officer smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness entered the palace in the middle of the night and interrupted the Nuo opera ceremony. Your Highness, you took several of the younger princes to the altar again. It will naturally take longer to perform the sacrifice again."
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at the prison officer. This is not my fault. Don't forget that I was framed. "In that case, I will go back first."
Li Yuanji stood up slowly, said something in a dazed manner, and prepared to leave with the four little guys.
If Li Yuan finished the sacrifice and wanted to teach his son in front of someone, wouldn't it be dangerous for him to stay here?
He didn't do anything wrong, so why should he help Li Shimin share the pressure?
He had no intention of fighting with Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to the death. He ran out and was used as a gunman by Li Yuan, but he couldn't get any benefits.
When the prison officer saw that Li Yuanji was about to leave, he quickly stopped him and said, "Goodbye, Your Highness." Li Yuanji looked at him suspiciously.
The prison officer hurriedly added: "After the Nuo Opera Festival every year, the Lord will give some rewards to everyone in the government and the public based on the harvest each year. At the beginning of the year, you won several great victories and became famous all over the world. In the middle of the year, At that time, the people in your house won several great victories, which added a lot of glory to you. The Lord will definitely reward you heavily. If you leave now, you will miss it."
Li Yuanji laughed and asked, "What kind of reward would I care about?" The prison officer froze on the spot in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
Li Yuanji said again: "Even if I don't go, how can my father get less of my share?" When the prison officer heard this, he wanted to beat him up. Listen, is this human talk?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yuanji did not care about the prison officer's thoughts and greeted the four little guys who were running wildly outside the corner tower.
"You four, stop playing around and follow me back home."
The four little guys were facing the cold wind, opening their mouths wide and screaming nonstop. They felt happy when they heard the weird ahhh sounds that were interrupted by the cold wind from time to time.
Hearing Li Yuanji's greeting, he reluctantly returned to the corner tower. Li Yuanji took them and rushed to Wude Hall.
After arriving at Wude Hall, he greeted everyone, packed up his things, and rushed to Jiulongtan Mountain again. Compared with the imperial palace, which was always full of intrigues, Li Yuanji preferred to stay at Jiulongtan Mountain.
At least, in Jiulongtan Mountain, even if there is intrigue, it is not that frequent, and it will not kill too many brain cells.
As for Li Yuan's reward after the Nuo Opera Festival, Li Yuanji didn't care at all.
He came to the palace to participate in the Nuo Opera Festival because of Yang Miaoyan's face, not because of Li Yuan's reward.
The authority territory that Li Yuan could give him had reached the limit of what he could possess.
If you give him a reward, you can only give him some rare and precious treasures and a large number of artifacts.
He doesn't really care yet.
The sea transportation he is in charge of will soon be smoothed out, and the water transportation he is in charge of will soon be profitable for him.
If he likes A'duwu, he can get it by himself, and there is no need to be greedy for Li Yuan's reward.
Not long after Li Yuanji left the palace, Li Yuan concluded the annual Nuo Opera Festival. After a night of hard work, everyone was not sleepy, but seemed very energetic.
Because everyone knows that Li Yuan is about to give them a 'year-end bonus'.
Some of them will be promoted when Li Yuan pays his 'year-end bonus'.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to be sleepy. Even if they are sleepy, they have to prick their thighs with hairpins and try to cheer themselves up.
Li Yuan led a group of energetic civil and military clan members back to the Tai Chi Hall, changed out of their sacrificial robes, put on their court robes, and began to go to court and start giving rewards based on their merits.
Just after glancing around among the civil and military relatives, his face darkened. Li Yuanji's treacherous son was not there, and his good grandson seemed to have been abducted.
This is unreasonable!! "Where is King Qi?" Li Yuan asked with a dark face.
Clan members of the civil and military clans, look at me and I look at you, and began to look for King Qi. The eldest grandson even cautiously asked Yang Miaoyan beside him, "Where is the fourth brother?"
Yang Miaoyan looked confused. If you ask me, who should I ask?
My whole heart was focused on the Nuo Opera Festival, and I really had no time to stare at my husband. Seeing that no one answered, Li Yuan shouted unhappily: "No one knows?"
A eunuch on duty hurriedly walked to the palace with small steps, bowed and said: "Returning to the saint, His Royal Highness King Qi left the palace with several young highnesses at dawn."
"Bang!" Li Yuan was angry. He really doesn't regard me as the emperor.
"Does he still have me in his eyes?!"
Yang Miaoyan hurriedly stepped forward and spoke to her husband, "Back to my father, Alang probably had another brain attack, so he returned to Jiulongtan Mountain early to find Mr. Sun for diagnosis and treatment."
Li Yuan's anger was boiled in his throat, and he didn't know how to express it. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't let it out on a son with a brain disease.
For people with brain problems, both he and other people in Datang have a certain degree of goodwill.
After all, no matter how capable and powerful you are, you can't argue with someone who has a brain problem.
However, he had already figured out the problem of his fourth son's brain disease.
The fourth son did not have any brain disease at all. In order to avoid being caught between the eldest son and the second son, the fourth son lied about having a brain disease and hid in Jiulongtan Mountain.
It's just that he couldn't tell this matter, and he had to cooperate with his fourth son to round off the lie.
Because since the fourth son did not want to be caught in the dilemma between the eldest son and the second son, he could not drag the fourth son into the water.
It's also because his fourth son is the only one among his many sons who can help him.
Now that the eldest son and the second son are already at odds, the helper of the fourth son becomes even more important.
"Even so, we can't leave without saying goodbye."
Li Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted dissatisfiedly.
