Daorou came at the right time, and it happened to be the point where he was prone to passive cheating. If today's raw rice is cooked and the twelve mothers in Tingzhou know about it, it will be the moment to witness the outbreak of family conflicts.
If the emperor sent a graceful beauty like Yang Yuhuan, there would be conflicts in the family, but it was just four fat women who conformed to the aesthetic concepts of the Tang Dynasty, and they also used magical makeup, so there was no conflict.
of necessity.
Hey, Li Siye thought to himself that he had drunk so much that he would not be so drunk. He actually wanted to lust after the emperor and sent his wife here. However, he was really not very interested because he had a kind of psychological mysophobia. As long as he saw Li Longji and Yang
When Yuhuan and his disciples appeared on the same occasion, they felt unable to look directly at them.
Although he was not obviously drunk at this time, he could still imitate this state, leaning forward and belching wine, muttering in his mind how drunk he should be with this wine with a negligible alcohol content.
His body gradually leaned forward, as if he was lying on the horse's back in a daze, his face pressed against the soft and silky horse's mane, and he let out a thunderous snore.
"Alang." Daorou's voice came close to his horse's side. She stretched out her hand to gently caress his back, thinking that this meant she was going to get a massage.
Li Siye pretended to be unconscious and lay on his horse all the way to Guangfu Square in Wannian County. When they entered the square, they heard noisy sounds from around them. As the sky darkened, it gradually became quiet, except for the occasional sound of children.
A woman's hoarse cry.
Except for the Li Mansion, the surrounding area was collapsed and dilapidated, as if they were at a construction site after demolition. Yan Xiaosi and Duan Xiushi looked particularly confused and thought they were in the wrong place.
Li Siye looked up in a daze, then lay on the horse again and snored: "Go and see, go and ask."
The two of them ran to these ruins, where homeless scavengers were rummaging through, and Yan Xiaosi shouted at the top of his voice, scaring the people into fleeing like birds.
A man got stuck in the bricks while running, and fell to the ground with a groan. Duan Xiushi glared at Yan Xiaosi reproachfully, stepped forward and pulled the half-hundred-year-old man who had fallen down, and politely raised his hands and said
: "I would like to ask my husband, why is this place in such a mess? Where are the people living near this village?"
"Hey," the old man sighed painfully and murmured: "It's not because the saint asked the Ministry of Works to expand the residence of Dr. Li after he returned from the expedition. The area will be over a thousand acres, occupying half of Guangfu Square.
Both ordinary people and wealthy merchants in the surrounding area will be moved to other villages. But the wealthy merchants will have their houses demolished and have the money to buy mansions. The ordinary people can only sleep on the streets and die of cold and hunger. Old man, I
It's just a homeless person. Seeing the cold in autumn, he has no choice but to pick through the ruins of the rich people's houses to see if he can find a piece or two of rags to protect against the wind and cold."
The two returned, and Li Siye continued to lie on his horse pretending to be drunk. They stood in front of his horse with strange expressions. Daorou asked them in surprise: "What's the matter?"
Duan Xiushi crossed her arms towards Li Siye and said, "Doctor, it is inappropriate to pretend to be drunk now."
Li Siye rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up straight, yawned and asked the two of them: "What did you see, and what did you ask?"
Duan Xiushi replied: "I have already asked, and the people said that Dr. Li has thousands of mansions, and the poor people have no place to stand."
Li Siye realized that these demolished houses were used to expand his mansion. It was no wonder that Duan Xiushi and Yan Xiaosi looked at him with such strange expressions. Although he had no ambition to be a dragon slayer, he also did not want to be a cruel one.
The evil dragon never thought that something like this would happen to innocent people.
He got off his horse and stepped onto the foundation of a pavilion that was still under construction. He put up a pergola and looked to the west. He saw the ruins undulating all over the ground. The poor people on the ruins were digging and picking up. They were in their hometown.
Picking up rags on the ground. A strange feeling flooded through his heart. He had heard Kunpeng spread his wings nine thousand miles and could not see the ants on the ground before, and thought it was just rhetoric. But after experiencing all this today, he realized that he
Although he is not Kunpeng, he will inevitably hurt many people when he travels through this world with power.
…
The day after Li Siye returned to Chang'an, he still had to go to the palace to meet the emperor. Just like a darling of the times who was held up to the altar, he would inevitably be pulled out and used as a mascot to show off. This time he went to the palace to meet the emperor.
What he did was to serve as a model wearing a mountain armor with a horizontal sword hanging on his waist, and let the many painters raised by the emperor in the palace paint several paintings for him from different angles. The paintings with the most charm will naturally receive a large number of
Reward, and then hang the portrait in Lingyan Pavilion.
Along the way, he was thinking about how to make up for the things that happened to the people. Since the disaster had been caused, he should think about how to deal with the aftermath. But he would not pretend to be hypocritical and politely write a letter saying that he could not live in such a big house and return the demolished place.
Common people. He has figured out some experience in officialdom, the most critical of which is not to show too high a moral level in front of the emperor, especially the saints and the Holy Mother.
There can only be one saint in the world, and the moral level of a saint is not necessarily high. If you are higher than him, what do you want the saint to think? The emperor did not pay attention to the dangers of the people when he was making arrangements, but you, a minister, did not
If you notice, you have to do some shocking actions that make people worship you. In the eyes of all rulers, all the most kind and virtuous people are treacherous and evil people.
This is a conclusion drawn from history in the past. Anyone who demands themselves according to the highest moral standards must have ulterior motives. Even if there is no ulterior motive, your super high morality will sting others. Especially his attitude.
A person with outstanding military exploits should have the desires and thoughts of ordinary people. Even if you make a small mistake, the emperor will feel that you are real and controllable.
Now he does not shirk this luxurious mansion covering an area of 1,000 acres, nor does he shirk the emperor's gift of four charming beauties. He is simply expressing his stance to Li Longji that my aesthetic standards and moral standards are closely following your old man's footsteps.
I am a lustful and greedy man. I hope that when your Majesty rewards me in the future, you will use these two things to corrode my sinful soul.
He turned around and asked Yan Xiaosi who was following behind him: "Xiaosi, have you met the owner of Micha Gan from Miji Trading Company?"
"Of course I remember, what's wrong?" Yan Xiaosi replied in surprise.
"Just remember," Li Siye said with an extremely clear idea: "You go back to Pingkangfang and gather dozens of trusted tooth soldiers in the backyard, hire a cart to go to Miji Trading Company in West City to find Micha Gan, and ask him to use copper coins to buy it.
Fill your cart with money, and then you carry the money to the collapsed ruins of Guangfu Fang and distribute the money to the homeless people scavenging. When you distribute it, don't say it's from me, and don't spread it around.
The whole city is in uproar."
"Okay, I understand." Yan Xiaosi knew that Dr. Li always liked to do things that cost money and made no money.
Yan Xiaosi was ordered to leave, and Li Siye took Duan Xiushi in the direction of Xingqing Palace.
