The two of them exchanged pleasantries again before bidding farewell to Samurai Yu.
Li Tai struggled: "Can this be done?"
Shangguan Yi said helplessly: "Let's give it a try for now."
Li Tai shook his fan and said, "When it comes to mixing in the court, this warrior Yu is still not good enough. He is not even as good as the slippery Xu Jingzong. A few days ago, I asked people to find out that when my father just ascended the throne, Li Xiaochang and others launched a rebellion, which was put down by my father.
After that, the warrior Xun went to Lizhou. He finally survived in Lizhou, but because he mentioned to his father about Mount Tai's enshrinement of Zen, he was sent to Jingzhou again. This man has been stumbling for half his life."
Shangguan Yi remained silent.
Li Tai smiled and said, "Do you think the warrior Xun was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives when he rashly mentioned this matter to his father?"
Shangguan Yi heard this and smiled: "Maybe."
Walking back, Li Tai pondered, "Normally, the letter sent originally should have reached the hands of Samurai Yun's family. Based on the distance traveled, the reply letter from their family should also reach the hands of Samurai Yun in two days."
"Although I don't really agree with Zhang Shilang's approach, I think it's right to do so based on the circumstances."
First, I sent a letter to Samurai Yu's family, telling them that Lishan Village had given them good conditions, allowing Samurai Yu to retire from the court. After years of traveling and working hard, he should take good care of his family. Furthermore, Samurai Yu had no one to help him in the court.
He also offended many people.
There is no shortage of capable people in the court, and he hopes to use his family to influence the decision of the warrior Xun.
In the village, Zhang Yang saw the teacher who was trying on the wheelchair with a smile on his face.
Zhang Gongjin sat down and tried it, pushing the wheels to move the chair forward, then stood up and carefully observed the parts of the wheelchair.
This made my wife very unhappy, "Old guy, if you really can't walk, it's not too late to use this again."
Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and smiled: "I also saw this kind of wheelchair in the classics back then, but it's just not as sophisticated as yours."
Zhang Yang explained: "I just installed some bearings to reduce the resistance during propulsion and save more effort."
Zhang Gongjin couldn't help but nod, "It's indeed an ingenious idea."
"Teacher, keep trying, I'll go back first."
"Okay, okay."
Zhang Gongjin said three things in a row.
When he returned to his residence, Zhang Yang saw Li Yue correcting Li Lizhi's homework.
Seeing that her husband was coming, Li Yue stepped forward and said, "Li Zhi is already learning the four arithmetic operations."
Zhang Yang picked up a peach and ate it, "I asked King Wei to send ice cubes. Why haven't I seen any ice yet?"
"The ice cube in the palace is also nervous. He can send these fruits because he wants to pay for the ice cube."
Aunt Yang brought another basket of courgettes, "These courgettes have been soaked in the Weishui River and taste cool."
Zhang Yang took the courgette and took a bite.
I ate too much courgette this summer. I used to find this kind of courgette strange, but now it just tastes like that.
Zhang Yang cut the courgette and said, "Actually, courgette can also be used to make cold dishes, cold courgette!"
Listening to her husband's tone, it seemed as if she wanted to cut the green bird into cold dishes and make it into a dish. Li Yue covered her mouth and smiled softly, then put the thirty coins in a small box, which was filled with piles of cash.
Copper coins, these are the husband's pocket money. The husband saves these coins when he doesn't need them.
Li Tai was still not satisfied with Zhang Yang's clan's way of doing things. He drank the milk tea made by the guards with a sad look on his face, and let the warrior Yu make his own decision. He didn't feel comfortable no matter how much he thought about it.
Xu Jingzong hurried to the milk tea shop, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Li Tai: "The details that His Highness the King of Wei asked his officials to investigate have now been found out."
Li Tai nodded and said, "Read it."
"Here." Xu Jingzong took a deep breath, opened the booklet in his hand and read: "Warrior Yu has settled his family in Luoyang now, and his wife gave birth to a daughter a few days ago."
"Wait a minute?" Li Tai asked curiously: "There is another daughter? When did it happen?"
"Seven years of martial virtue."
Li Tai nodded when he heard the reply, "Continue reading."
"Well." Xu Jingzong wiped his sweat again and said, "My previous wife passed away a long time ago."
"Wait a minute." Li Tai interrupted again: "The previous wife, that is to say, she married another wife? She also gave birth to a daughter for him."
"Indeed, King Wei, can you please stop interrupting and wait until the official finishes reading?"
"Read it." Li Tai said with a straight face.
Xu Jingzong sighed and then started to read, while slowing down his speaking speed, fearing that Li Tai would try again, "...Warrior Xun also has two sons, but these two sons take care of the family in Lizhou.
The warrior Xun's family was originally engaged in timber business, and his family was relatively well off. When the Sui Dynasty was rioting, he also supported heroes from all over the country."
After listening to Xu Jingzong's recitation, Li Tai asked, "How are you doing in the Ministry of Rites now?"
Xu Jingzong replied: "I've been doing well, and I've been quite leisurely recently."
"If you don't have time, can you ask me about this?"
Xu Jingzong smiled awkwardly, "I made His Highness the King of Wei laugh."
Li Tai stepped on a stool, put one hand on his knee and held a bowl of milk tea in the other hand. He looked at Zhuque Street. In front of others, he was a little bully. In front of his father, King Wei was a sensible person.
child.
"Leave it to me and keep an eye on it. As soon as the letter from the Wu family arrives in Chang'an City, I will tell you immediately."
The guard was ordered to reply, "Here."
Xu Jingzong asked carefully: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, can I leave now?"
Li Tai waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
"I'll take my leave now."
Li Tai drank the milk tea in the bowl in one gulp. This warrior Yu was determined to win whatever he said, and his business transformation was at this moment.
"Send the message. If the warrior Yun refuses to agree, I will kidnap his family to Lishan Village."
"Here."
Another guard was ordered to leave.
Summoned by Li Shimin, the warrior Xun went to the palace to see him and described his affairs in governing Jingzhou.
Of course, Your Majesty already knows these things. There must be news from the DPRK and China about how Jingzhou is being governed.
He was appointed back then, and now he is still serving as the debriefing warrior.
His Majesty did not reply or express anything until he finished speaking, but he received a few words of appreciation.
The warrior Yu left the palace and walked all the way to Zhuque Street. He unexpectedly found that the second volume of The Red Mansion was already available in Chang'an City. He found a bookseller and bought a copy, planning to go back to his residence to read it.
As I was walking, I looked back from time to time, and I always felt that someone was following me.
Perhaps thinking too much, the warrior Yu found a house to live in. He stayed in Chang'an City for half a month. During this half month, he did not receive another summons from His Majesty, but he did receive a letter from home.
I missed my family in my heart, and the letter mentioned that there was a place called Lishan Village on the border of Chang'an, and the King of Wei promised many benefits.
Thinking of Shangguan Yi's words and the fact that it was King Wei who was blocking the official road, the warrior Yu was wavering in his heart and thought about whether he should go and have a look.
I thought about this for several days, during which His Majesty did not summon me. It seemed that I had forgotten about myself.
In the village, Li Tai gnawed on a duck leg fiercely, "I have sent people to kidnap the family of the warrior Xun."
Zhang Yang smeared the roast duck with sauce, "Why is Your Highness the King of Wei doing this? In fact, there is no need to choose the warrior Xun. Shangguan Yi can barely handle it, but it is a bit harder."
"Business has been suspended for a month, and I can't afford to wait." Li Tai threw the duck bones in his hand to the puppies on the ground, "Anyway, the people have been sent out."
"If King Wei does this, it may not be useful, and it might even make people hate him."
"Don't worry, my king's people act in a measured manner. How can they really tie you up? At most, they just invite you. Maybe they have left Luoyang by now."
Putting aside the fact that Li Tai is unreliable, there is usually nothing that would make him so aggressive. It is only because of his own business that he is so anxious.
The details of Samurai Yun were found out very clearly by Li Tai. From a human resources perspective, this was the right thing to do.
A burst of rain fell, which lasted for three days, taking away the summer heat.
This means that the intense summer heat is over.
The couple was packing their luggage at home, planning to return to Chang'an City soon.
After living in the village for two months, it was regarded as summer vacation. Anyway, Li Chengqian didn't come to visit again during this period.
Li Yue is still correcting her disciples' homework. The master and apprentice now rely on letters to communicate. Li Yue is responsible for coming up with the questions and sending the letters to the palace. Li Lizhi will have the letters sent back after a few days.
The letter she sent contained the questions she had done. She looked at the crooked words on the homework book.
Obviously I haven't written many words at all, and this handwriting is unsightly.
The couple packed their luggage the next day and went home.
As soon as he got home, the little bear became much more lively and ran into the woodshed at home and sniffed everywhere.
Aunt Wang took the first step to tidy up the house.
As soon as Li Yue walked into the courtyard, she sat on the rocking chair, "I'm still comfortable in my own home."
See her stretching her limbs on the rocking chair. She can sit however she wants at home. After sitting cross-legged in the rocking chair for a while, she got up and cleaned up the house.
Not even an hour after returning home, people from the East Palace arrived.
The visitor brought ice cubes, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that your husband has just returned home and needs to rest for two days before going to the East Palace to take up his post."
Zhang Yang took the basket of ice cubes and said, "His Royal Highness is interested."
"Sir, there is no need to send it away."
Zhang Yang stood at the door, "walk slowly, walk slowly."
When I returned home, I was completely relaxed. I took out the bedding and clothes at home, washed them, and looked at the yard full of luggage. There was still a lot of work to do.
Warrior Xun occasionally goes to Hongwen Museum these days and looks at the changes in Chang'an City on Zhuque Street.
Chang'an City has changed a lot, and trash cans can be seen everywhere. It is said that anyone who dumps garbage anywhere will be fined by the government.
The silted ditches have also been repaired.
Every time he came back from a trip, the warrior Yu had something to gain, but today the King of Wei's people brought something over again. Almost every day or two, some meat and vegetables would be delivered to the door of his house. Someone would hang the things at the door and then leave.
The meat and vegetables delivered last time were not finished.
These well-intentioned warriors are not easy to evade.
After arriving at Chang'an City, the warrior Xun has been waiting for His Majesty's arrangements.
Feeling the sincerity of King Wei, the warrior Xun made a decision in his heart and went to see Shangguan Yi first. After just one meeting, he secretly made a decision in his heart, packed up his residence and walked out of the house.
When we arrived at Lishan Mountain, we saw a village in front of us. According to the letter, it should be the village at the foot of Lishan Mountain.
At first glance, the houses in this village are very neat, and rice is planted in the fields. The rice will be harvested in two months while it is still green.
Looking at this village, the warrior Yu had a more favorable impression of the place. It seems that the owner of this village is also a person who is good at governance.
Before he entered the village, he was stopped by a group of children. The children shouted and asked: "Who are you! Are you a spy from Tibet?"
The warrior Xun quickly explained: "Little baby, I am not a Tibetan spy. I am here to see Shangguan Yi. If you don't believe me, you can call Shangguan Yi."
After some discussion, the children sent someone to inform Shangguan Yi, but they still stopped at the entrance of the village, "Just wait, Teacher Shangguan is very busy."
"Teacher? He teaches you how to read?"
The child's eyes were wary, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Shangguan Yi hurried over wearing patched old clothes, "I've kept Duke Ying waiting for a long time. Please come in."
After hearing Shangguan Yi's active invitation, the children made way.
The first thing you notice when you walk into this village is that it is clean, there are no clutter along the way.
The warrior Yu asked himself that he had been to many places but had never seen such a clean village. "Who is the owner of this place?"
Shangguan Yi smiled and said, "How about Duke Ying, what do you think of this place?"
The warrior looked around and said, "The owner of this place is very particular about the orderliness of things, especially the tidiness of the houses. The summer harvest has already ended, but there are still rice growing in the fields, and the small population makes it a bit peaceful."
Shangguan Yi walked with him, "This was just a small, run-down village before, and the villagers here were not so wealthy."
"The King of Wei is the master of this place?"
"No, no," Shangguan Yi waved his hand and said, "Actually, the owner of this place is a princess, and the one who takes care of this place is the consort."
"Princess? Then it's the princess fiefdom."
Shangguan Yi said again: "It has been some time since Duke Ying returned to Chang'an City, but have you ever heard of a princess in Chang'an City who is very good at numeracy?"
Samurai Yu stopped and thought about it for a while.
Shangguan Yi continued: "Let me go down first to see the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor lives in the village now. Not many people know about this, and it is also out of filial piety."
I originally came here to see the sincerity of King Wei, but I didn't expect that Li Yuan was here.
Since Li Shimin came to the throne, it has become increasingly difficult to meet Li Yuan.
The status we have today is inseparable from the trust of the Supreme Emperor.
Following Shangguan Yi to the center of the village, the houses here are not so dense.
The warrior Xun saw Li Yuan, who was playing chess with Zhang Gongjin.
Zhang Gongjin raised his eyes and said: "It seems that the chess game cannot be played today. Someone came to visit."
Li Yuan looked back after hearing this.
Warrior Yu bowed and saluted, and said excitedly: "I, Warrior Yu, have come to see me. I wonder how the Emperor has been doing these past two years?"
Standing up slowly, Li Yuan helped him up, "I heard that you went to Jingzhou, and you have suffered a lot in the past two years."
