"The law should not be taught lightly, the Tao should not be sold cheaply, and the teacher should not follow the path...I have violated all these taboos! No wonder Xiaohou doesn't like me!" After coming out of Ganlu Hall, shopkeeper Liu suddenly realized!
He always thought that Xiao Han disliked him for being an eunuch, so he didn't want to see him, but he never thought that it turned out that he had lost etiquette first.
Of course, shopkeeper Liu would definitely not make such a stupid mistake if he were to change his partner. The main partner was Xiao Hou of Sanyuan County, so he subconsciously thought that they would not appreciate his filial piety.
As everyone knows, a famous person once said: I can refuse to accept it, but you can't refuse to send it!
With his troubles gone and a great benefit gained, Shopkeeper Liu's footsteps became a little brisker. Even when he was walking down the city wall, he felt much more pleasant when he heard the begging for mercy from the Wuhou hanging in the air.
This was not because he was being petty and asked someone to hang Lin San and the others up. It was actually because Li Anyuan heard the abuse from them and felt that he couldn't lose face, so he hung them up outside to punish them.
The little things that happened here at Zhuque Gate have not yet spread to the deep and deep Manna Palace in Dauchi, but even if they spread here, the emperor probably won't care.
"What good news did Erlang hear? Are you so happy?"
The curtain was lifted slightly, and the eldest grandson came out of the back hall with a smile on his face and asked Li Shimin, who was beaming with joy.
"Ahem, it's Guanyin's maid. There's no good news!"
When Li Shimin saw that it was his eldest grandson who had arrived, he immediately put away his smile and said casually: "Lao Liu just came over and said: This afternoon at the bank, some Chang'an people spontaneously went to lend me money for disaster relief. I won't accept it."
Not yet, hey..."
At this point, Li Shimin was supposed to be sighing helplessly, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't keep his face down. Instead, the corners of his mouth kept rising uncontrollably!
"oh?"
How could the eldest grandson, who had been married to Li Shimin for many years, not know her husband's thoughts when he saw this? Before he could show his embarrassment, he already looked surprised and said: "Is this happening? People
Competing to be the first to offer money and silk to the emperor, isn’t this the legendary aspiration of the people?!”
"Ahem, that's about it!"
At this time, Li Shimin really couldn't pretend anymore, so he could only smile and said: "Now I want to see what those officials who say that I compete with the people for profit will lose the hearts of the people, how they behave!"
After saying this, he suddenly remembered a poem that Xiao Han once read: A group of crows twittering, their mouths full of excrement spitting croaking!
As a result, Li Shimin, who was just smiling, couldn't help it any longer, and actually laughed heartily and heartily!
Over the past few days, the disaster, military situation, and people's situation in the Tang Dynasty have all weighed down on him and he can hardly breathe! How long has it been since he laughed so happily?
As Xiao Han said, the biggest problem among Chinese people is that they like to fight!
When there is a foreign enemy, let’s work together to fight against it!
And when the foreign enemies retreat and there are no outsiders to fight with, then you can only fight with your own people!
Therefore, after the fourth year of Zhenguan, the court no longer had the previous harmony between the monarch and his ministers, but instead became a battlefield where countless ministers fought for their own interests or for the party.
As the emperor, Li Shimin was disgusted with such a court, and he wanted to change everything! However, no matter how he changed it, it would always touch the interests of some people, thus attracting more resistance.
Under so much pressure, Li Shimin even began to wonder whether his arrangement was really too hasty and too fast, and whether it would really cause turmoil in the court as the courtiers said, and reappear the old events of the late Sui Dynasty!
But today, the people of Chang'an told him!
It turns out that in the hearts of the people, I am not the proud and arrogant Emperor Yang of Sui, nor the arrogant Yang Guang!
In the eyes of the people, he has always been a good emperor, an emperor who has accomplished something!
This alone is enough to clear away all the frustrations and doubts in Li Shimin's heart!
It turns out that everything I do is still seen and remembered by others! Those who really oppose me are just a small group of people with ulterior motives!
If that's the case, then what do I have to fear?
What the people want is what I want! With the water to carry the boat, my big boat can sail anywhere in the world!
"Someone, bring some wine!"
After the haze of the past few days, Li Shimin threw away all his baggage at this moment and became passionate again!
When the eldest grandson saw him, he was also very happy. Instead of admonishing him to put his health first, he happily poured him wine himself and congratulated his husband!
In just one night, what happened in the bank had spread throughout Chang'an.
Just as Li Shimin expected, all the officials and censors were dumbfounded!
The people rushed to lend money to the emperor without even asking for anything in return. What is this?
This is the image of a holy king who wins the hearts of the people!
Even Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han did not have this honor. I am afraid that only the ancient Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang can compare with today's emperors!
Under such circumstances, who can say that the emperor is stupid and incompetent? Who is not afraid of being drowned by the common people?
————————
"Have you heard about what happened in Chang'an last night?"
In the Xiao family's mansion, Yin Can was lying leisurely on a rocking chair, holding a bunch of crystal clear grapes while squinting at Xiao Han beside him.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Han closed his eyes slightly and said feebly: "I went to bed early last night, and when I woke up, you were here. How could I know what happened in Chang'an?"
"You don't know?" Yin Can looked at Xiao Han suspiciously, and suddenly said: "Stop pretending, don't think I don't know, there are many informants of yours in Chang'an City! If nothing else, just yesterday
Among the people who went to give money to Lao Liu, you were among them, right?"
"No!" Xiao Han, who was sitting on the recliner, moved his eyelids after listening to Yin Can's words, but still denied it: "What kind of common people are going to give money? Why don't I know?"
"Pretend! Pretend again!" Yin Can was very dissatisfied with Xiao Han's appearance of a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He happened to have a grape in his hand, so he threw it at him with a wave of his hand!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Han was already on guard. He waved his sleeves and blocked the grapes. While it was in his sleeves and not falling to the ground, he reached out to pinch it and threw it into his mouth: "Don't waste this.
The grapes in season are precious!"
"Eat, you know how to eat! In addition to eating, you also sleep!" Yin Can was so happy with Xiao Han that he no longer hit him with grapes, but sat up straight on the recliner and said to him: "It seems that since you married
After you have a concubine, you become like a pig. Are you afraid of being fattened and then killed for meat?"
"Hey, it's good to be a pig these days. You're white and fat, and you're not a threat to anyone!" Xiao Han was still lazily lying on the chair, humming: "Besides, if you want to kill a pig, you have to celebrate the New Year.
OK! I don’t know how many foxes and jackals there are out there, but they won’t live to celebrate the New Year.”
