Chapter seven hundred and eighty sixth keep a low profile
Gao Lishi hurriedly ran to help Li Longji, thinking that the Supreme Emperor had reached the stage of sadness that could be explained by laughter. Li Longji held his chest and smiled and said: "I have been depressed since I lived in the forbidden palace, and I have never been as happy as I am today.
.”
Li Siye lowered his head and said dullly: "I'm not here to chat and laugh with you to relieve your boredom."
The old emperor took a breath weakly: "Are you here to lecture me?"
"I have a lot of truths here, but they are of little use to an old man like you. Because it is not the supreme truth in the world, and you don't need to study it before you die. It's just that there are some things in your heart.
I can’t vomit quickly.”
The old emperor smiled sadly: "Recalling the past when I was in Xingqing Palace, I really hated the officials who came to report things, and I didn't want to listen to them repeat boring truths. But today, the palace is crowded with people.
, I want them to come and talk about the shortcomings of my past governance, but no one comes to tell me these things."
Li Siye sat casually on the floor in the palace and talked eloquently: "What they said is of course a cliché, and the starting point is that the buttocks are crooked. The biggest problem for you emperors is that you regard the world as your home.
Treat the people of the world as your slaves, and everyone is serving you. Even if one day your home is demolished and many people die, you will only feel that this is your own loss. What you are thinking is the same
I feel sorry for my ancestors, but I have never thought of feeling sorry for the common people."
Li Longji stared at Li Siye, the anger in his eyes gradually becoming dim and calm.
Li Siye's eyes were shining brightly, and he seemed to be recalling the past in a trance: "I remember when I first entered Chang'an, everything around me was pretty good. Businessmen and travelers were bustling in the West Market, and traders and lackeys were wandering in the alleys. There were a few bad people.
To maintain the ground, they only earned enough money every day for food and clothing, and maybe a few pots of turbid wine. At that time, a bushel of green rice in Shandong only cost seven cents, and wine was not expensive. There was a bad commander who took the safety of Chang'an as his own responsibility.
A Sogdian Hu merchant in the Western Market, a young man with a basket selling Hu cakes on the street, and his grandmother living in a hut in the Fangsheng Pond. The wife of a businessman living in Xinchangfang.
, although they love vanity and cannot stay lonely, they are kind-hearted and never compete with others. Although their lives are a little bitter, they can still get by, and they have hope in their hearts to live a good life."
"But everything is broken, countless families have been destroyed, and people have been displaced. The culprit of all this is you. Beyond the scope of one generation, you can be called a sinner of the ages. Until now, you can't see the sinners of the world.
Tragic, the rebels massacred the city, the Tang army captured the young men, the newlyweds parted that night, the eternal separation of yin and yang turned into bones, the eighty-year-old man was still dragged to the battlefield to serve, the soldiers who joined the army returned to their hometowns, the entire village was slaughtered, looking around
They are all tombs. None of these things is a great tragedy in the world. Isn't it more painful than losing your own woman? Ask yourself, what qualifications do you have to lick your face and miss your concubine in spring and autumn?"
The Emperor was so shocked by these words that he had already sat on the couch and burst into tears. Knowing that he could not persuade the Emperor, Gao Lishi rushed up angrily, pointed at Li Siye and roared angrily: "Shut the fuck up, I'm telling you! Others
Everyone is qualified to accuse him, but you are not qualified to do so, because everything you have today was given by him!"
Li Siye raised his head and turned a blind eye to Gao Lishi's accusations. He thought that he would soon fall into a state of incompetence and rage. He once thought that some people would put the common people first and wait until the counter-rebellion was over before turning their backs. But they didn't at all.
Willing to wait until then.
Anyone who worries too much will lose the initiative. Those who are cruel and indifferent to life will have the advantage because they have no scruples, while those who are hesitant and unwilling to harm the people will be restrained everywhere.
…
He left Taiji Palace and went out of Chengtian Gate, walked along the straight road from Zhuque Gate in the Imperial City, and turned into the Xiliang Prince's Mansion in Guangfufang. There were many servants in the mansion, but few family members. This was good, at least he would be able to support his family in the future.
It won't be too complicated to tie the mouth.
The Twelfth Mother entered the study and saw her husband holding the book. She hesitated and said, "When I took my servants out in the car today, I found a few people following me furtively."
Li Siye thought about it carefully, and realized that this must be a spy sent by Li Fuguo, and said: "Don't pay attention to these people, but I still don't go out much in recent days."
"Okay," she was about to turn around and leave, when Li Siye suddenly said: "It may not be quiet at home recently. I have to hold a cockfight at home, and I may also have to hold a banquet to entertain guests."
Twelve Niang lowered her head and smiled generously: "It doesn't matter, I have never considered this place my home."
Li Siye added: "If Li Chongyun comes back, let him come to my study."
The twelve mothers saw that her husband's expression was wrong and she quickly asked him: "What happened?"
"It's okay, I just want to ask him something."
In the afternoon, Li Chongyun returned to Xiliang Prince's Mansion from the Princess's Mansion, and came to Li Siye's study. He met Li Siye's sarcastic smile: "The consort is back?"
How could Li Chongyun not hear the anger in his words? He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "What on earth did your son do wrong? Please tell me from my father?"
"The day before yesterday, at the Purple Chen Hall, two princes-in-law were convicted and sentenced to death for being involved in Li Lin's rebellion. Have you heard of this?"
"My son didn't hear about it."
Li Siye came out from behind the desk and slapped Li Chongyun hard on the shoulder with a whip: "Now I will let you hear about it! How many lives do you have! How dare you send your people into the palace to drive away the emperor! You are just a
Outsiders! If you dare to comment on royal matters, do you think you have a long life? "
Li Chongyun bit the bullet and whipped him a few times, with veins popping up on his forehead and loudly said: "No son!"
The Twelfth Mother hurriedly broke in from outside and stood in front of Li Siye and his son: "Alang, is there something you can't talk to about? Why do you want to beat him?"
Li Siye put down his whip and stared at him and asked, "Are you really not?"
Li Chongyun raised his palms and said: "Son, I dare to swear to God, I will never do it."
"It's fine if you don't. You just need to listen to me and don't get involved in any internal struggles between clans. You can't afford to lose your life. The Li Tang family can easily kill even their own sons, let alone a broken consort like you."
"Keep this in mind, son."
When Twelfth Mother saw that her son was not at fault, she complained angrily to Li Siye: "I beat him indiscriminately. Can't you ask first?"
Li Siye was silent for a moment and did not speak again.
…
On the second day, Li Siye invited some gangsters from Chang'an City who were good at cockfighting in the back garden, such as those from three religions and nine schools, to come and participate in the cockfighting competition. They exchanged their cockfighting experiences with each other. He also set up three prizes for the cockfighting competition, namely Yongfu.
Gold cups, silver cups and bronze cups made of precious wealth.
On the third day, he continued to invite lazy men who were good at cockfighting to his house. They often started the game after being extremely drunk, which made the house full of smoke and chaos.
On the fourth and fifth days, it was still the same. The Xiliang Prince's Mansion was full of people. Regardless of your status, as long as you brought a fighting cock to the door, you would be welcomed.
A royal censor named Chen went to the emperor to complain and impeach the imperial officer of the dynasty. On the day when the country was in chaos, he actually held a banquet in the palace, with the sound of singing and dancing, silk and bamboo music, gathering a mixed crowd of people to fight with chickens and dogs, which is worthy of the world.
Is the military attaché setting an example?
Li Heng suppressed the imperial censor's impeachment memorial, but he was very happy in his heart. He said to Li Fuguo who was standing next to him: "Maybe he is hiding his power and biding his time, or is he really depressed? No matter what, continue to monitor him strictly."
…
On the afternoon of the ninth day, Li Siye drove through the streets of Chongren and found that there were many scholars gathered in front of the makeup building of the Du Mansion. They talked to each other with peach blossoms on their faces, so he opened the curtain and asked Kubani who was following behind him: "
What happened?"
Kubani stepped forward excitedly and told: "Today is the day when the Ninth Lady of the Du family came out of the cabinet. This Ninth Lady is called the most beautiful woman in the capital. She has a beautiful face and a moonlight appearance. It is a pity that her grandfather died early. She
As you know, my grandpa is Du Qianyun who was killed by Ge Shuhan. This ninth lady was born as a concubine in the Du family. She has no support from her father, but her mistress is jealous and wants to marry her to a man in Chang'an City.
A dandy or a wealthy businessman. Unexpectedly, this Nine Lady was not willing to be manipulated by her mistress. She wrote an acrostic poem and spread it out of the pavilion, attracting the literati and scholars of Chang'an City to recite it. Today, she is tossing the hydrangea on the dressing room to choose what she wants.
The days of the husband."
"I talked a lot, but the last sentence is useful." Li Siye called to the coachman and said, "Stop first, let's take a look at the excitement."
