Chapter 0475 The Prelude to the Great Court Meeting
Man Tang Hong Chapter 0475 The Prelude to the Great Court Meeting
Lu Yishou carefully thought about Lao Yutou's character and found that Old Yutou was really suitable to be the gatekeeper of Chang'an Xinglu. With such a stubborn old man blocking the door of Chang'an Xinglu, Chang'an Xinglu didn't have to spend so much money every day.
A lot of manpower and material resources were spent to receive those people who were obviously not sick but went to Xinglu to pretend to be sick.
Although these people are paid money for medical treatment, and they are given a lot of money, most of the gentlemen in Chang'an Xinglu do not like money. The gentlemen only think that these people are an eyesore, take up space, and do a lot of nonsense.
The gentlemen have also thought of ways to drive away these people, but these people are like brown sugar stuck to Chang'an Xinglu, and they cannot be driven away no matter how hard they are.
Most of the gentlemen have good intentions and are unwilling to use violence against these people, so these people become more and more reckless.
If Old Yutou is here, with his stubborn temper and his status among all the villagers in Jiulongtan Mountain, he should be able to stop all those who come to Chang'an Xinglu to pretend to be sick.
After all, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake.
No matter how powerful the noodle is, he still has to go around when he encounters a stubborn and stubborn guy like Old Yutou.
After thinking about this, Lu Yishou muttered: "Since His Highness thinks he is suitable, let him try it out first."
Li Yuanji glanced at Lu Yishou and said amusedly: "I'm afraid you can't make the decision on this matter, right?"
Although Li Yuanji was not familiar with Lu Yishou, he could tell from what Lu Yishou had just said that he had no official status.
Without an official status, it means that he has no status in Xinglu, Chang'an.
Without status, it is natural that he cannot be the master of Xinglu in Chang'an.
Although Chang'an Xinglu is just a Tang Dynasty hospital composed of private doctors, it is affiliated to the Qi Prince's Medical Office, which is ranked in the sixth rank.
After Sun Simiao became the official of Xinglu Luzheng in Chang'an, Li Yuan made an exception and promoted him to the fourth rank of Zheng, wearing a red robe and a gold and jade crown.
Positions in Xinglu in Chang'an, such as other assistants, deputy ministers, and deputy assistants, have also increased with the rising tide.
The deputy of the house is listed as the lower rank of the fifth rank, the deputy of the house is listed as the lower rank of the sixth rank, and the deputy of the house is ranked as the upper rank of the seventh rank.
There are many such official positions in Xinglu, Chang'an, but Lu has never been able to get one, which shows that he is a man who is obsessed with medical skills and has no intention of becoming an official.
Therefore, he did not care about the affairs in Xinglu, Chang'an, nor could he care about the affairs in Xinglu, Chang'an.
When Lu Yishou heard Li Yuanji's somewhat sarcastic words, he said with a normal expression: "As long as my subordinates speak to Mr. Sun and Mr. Cao, they will not refute my face."
Li Yuanji was happy when he heard this, "So, you have a good relationship with the other gentlemen in Chang'an Xinglu?"
Lu Yishou opened his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, Li Yuanji said cheerfully: "I thought I didn't have a single friend with a temper like yours."
Lu Yishou was stunned for a moment, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Friends are more important than friends, and there are still two or three friends."
Li Yuanji shook his head, smiled, and said no more.
This statement is biased.
This is definitely not what a person who likes to make friends and enjoys a good meal would say.
Because people who like to make friends and can eat well will never define friends in this way.
However, considering that Lu Yishou is a purely technical person and has no interest in anything else except medical skills, he is still being cleared up if he can say such a thing.
Only those who are purely technical, or those who have been hurt by friends, would define friends this way.
While Li Yuanji and Lu Yishou were talking, Old Yutou had already conveyed the order to pass the meal and returned to the palace.
After performing the courtesy of asking the host to sit down at a banquet, Li Yuanji invited him to sit on one side.
Although Lu Yishou didn't have many friends and rarely attended banquets, he still knew the etiquette of banquets. After using a completely different sitting etiquette from Lao Yutou, he was also invited by Li Yuanji to sit down on one side.
Old Yutou and Lu Yishou had different identities. One was a banker of Prince Qi's Mansion, and the other was a subordinate of Prince Qi's Mansion.
In terms of status, Old Yutou will be closer to him.
In terms of status, Lu Yishou is higher.
Therefore, the etiquette used when going to the host's banquet is also different.
In traditional etiquette, people with different identities need to face different etiquette when facing the same situation.
This is the result of strict ritual and music education.
It is also a link that is necessary for people with status and status to distinguish the status and dignity of the guests when facing guests they know or do not know.
When a person's status continues to rise, countless people you know and don't know will appear to seek relatives and seek connections.
In this case, if you don't distinguish the guests according to etiquette, you won't be able to tell who is who and what relationship they have with you.
Li Yuanji didn't like this kind of etiquette of dividing guests into three, six or nine grades, but he couldn't let go of it.
Because there are too many people he doesn’t know, and without anyone reminding him and telling him who is who, and without using etiquette to distinguish the guests, he will really not be able to tell who is who.
This is the trouble that status brings.
There are always countless people who like to flock to you, and there are always countless people who like to rub against you. If you can't avoid it or get rid of it, you have to face it.
Fortunately, he now lives in Jiulongtan Mountain. The outside of the mountain is blocked by the Zuowu Guards, and the foot of the mountain is also guarded by guards. No one can disturb him, otherwise he will definitely be annoyed to death.
As far as he knew, Li Jiancheng attended more than sixty wedding banquets every year, received over a hundred invitations to banquets, and had countless things to attend to.
Although after being selected by the officials of the East Palace, he did not have to face so many things, there were still many things he had to face.
For example, when Li Xiaogong asked Li Yuan to come forward regarding the adoption of his son, Li Yuan ignored him, so Li Xiaogong had no choice but to ask him, and he had to give face to Li Xiaogong and his uncle Wang.
He had to sit in Uncle Wang's house for a whole day, watching helplessly as people took advantage of his own family through adoption, and he couldn't stop him.
Of course, this was what happened before Li Jiancheng was imprisoned by Li Yuan.
It didn't happen recently.
After all, Li Jiancheng was in Zongzheng Temple recently and was personally guarded by Li Yuan's former attendants. There was no possibility of escaping.
Li Shimin faces many things like this every year.
If Li Yuanji hadn't been hiding in Jiulongtan Mountain, he would have had to face these things, and he might have faced more than Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.
After all, compared to the status of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, his status is undoubtedly lower. Who makes him the fourth son?

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, he is naturally the best and softest persimmon.
As for him, a soft persimmon, from the beginning of this year to now, he had treated Lao Yutou and Lu Yishou to a meal.
The meal that Ling Jing, Xue Wanshu and others were invited to have was a casual meal, not a formal banquet.
On this point, Li Yuanji felt that Lao Yutou could boast for a year after he returned.
"Who can blow for a year?"
After sending someone away to see away the well-fed Lao Yutou and Lu Yishou, Li Yuanji just cooed and was overheard and questioned.
Li Yuanji stared at Liu Jun who suddenly appeared in front of him in astonishment, and said in disbelief: "Why are you here?"
Liu Jun smiled bitterly and said: "I have been in here for a long time. You were so lost in thought that you didn't notice me."
Li Yuanji raised his eyes without hesitation and asked: "Why didn't you ask for instructions? Why did you walk silently? Why did you question me?!"
Liu Jun took out a volume of handwritten writing with a grimace, presented it respectfully in front of Li Yuanji, and explained: "I asked for instructions, and there was a sound when I walked. Your Highness was too absorbed in thinking about something and didn't pay any attention to me.
As for why I broke into the palace without permission, the reasons are all in everyone's handwriting, and your Highness will know it after reading it."
Li Yuanji picked up the handwritten book, flipped through it, and shouted: "You're still questioning me!"
Liu Jun said dumbfounded: "How dare I? Even if you borrow ten of my courage, I still wouldn't dare to question you."
Who are you? You are a walking figure in the Tai Chi Palace. No one gives you face. Who dares to question you? Are you tired of life?!
While Li Yuanji was speaking, he had already read Li Yuan's handwriting, and then said with hesitation: "My father has invited me to go to court tomorrow, and he wants me to speak for him?"
Liu Jun nodded seriously.
Li Yuanji slapped the handwriting on the table and said angrily: "Isn't this hurting me?"
Li Gang and Pei Ju had already blocked the way for him and Li Shimin to get into trouble, so how could he speak for Li Yuan?
Continue to fight against Li Gang and Pei Ju in the Manlu Palace, and also fight against the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty?
But the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty were not like Li Gang and Pei Ju. They were not so observant of rules and did not pay so much attention to virtue. If they really got into a fight, it was not certain who would win and who would lose.
After all, two fists are no match for four hands.
Besides, Li Yuan didn't give him any benefits, he just wanted him to be like Zhuge Liang, fighting with the Confucian scholars for the sake of beauty.
"Everyone has said that you don't care about this."
Liu Jun said carefully.
Li Yuanji glared and said, "Who said I don't care anymore? There are four people in a family, and they are the only ones who want to face me, so I don't want it anymore?"
Liu Jun smiled bitterly and said nothing. He had no way to answer this, and he was not qualified to answer it.
Li Yuanji threw the handwritten letter to Liu Jundao: "Go back and tell my father that I can attend the court meeting and bring my people to cheer for him, but I won't agree to anything else."
Liu Jun did not take the book and said with a grimace: "Everyone said that if you don't help him, no one can help him."
Li Yuanji said nonchalantly: "Aren't all civil and military officials in the dynasty his ministers? He can ask them for help. If they don't help, he can change them to someone who is obedient."
Liu Jun smiled bitterly and said: "This is not a sun-returning grass. How can it be replaced by just changing it?"
Huanyang grass, also known as leek, has the effect of aphrodisiac and stimulating yang, so it is called Huanyang grass.
Li Yuanji has never seen anyone eating it as a dish.
At least so far, he has never eaten dishes made with leeks.
"That's my father's business, not mine. Have you ever heard that if you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern? This is what I learned from my recent reading."
