Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 871;

Chapter 820 seven;
Zhenguan three years, August 23,

Chang'an city ~ inside the imperial city.

The residence of the emperor Li Shimin and the queen's only adopted son, Li Yu, the founder of the county, in the imperial city ~ Da'an Palace.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian sat on the throne, with Li Yu on the left and Li Tai and the other princes on the right.

On the left and right sides of the hand, they are either the sons of the prince, or the direct sons of civil and military officials.

In the entire hall, more than 100 people sat, and the scene was very spectacular.

Ding Kezhen, the chief steward of Da'an Palace and chief internal affairs chief of the Queen's bedroom, was so busy that she was giving orders to a few court ladies and servants who held power;
"Today is unusual. It's the first time for my father-in-law to entertain guests after the filial piety. The emperor has told me many times not to let people see the joke, so you have to be more careful in your errands, and don't be negligent.

Who dares to make me unhappy, I will never look at the past relationship, do you understand? "

"only!"

"very good."

"Miss, how should I take care of the borrowed one from the empress's palace? Please show me, my maidservant, that you should prepare early so that you don't have to panic at night."

"Everyone is consistent."

"One... guan? My lady... is this really a lot? Haven't you heard of such a price in the palace?"

"Yes, lady, how about borrowing more than 200 troops?"

Ding Kezhen rolled her eyes helplessly;
"The father-in-law told me in advance, do you think I want to prodigal?"

"My God! No wonder everyone likes to serve our master. It's such an easy money to earn."

"Who says it's not? Those women, they can get this amount just by washing the dishes. It's really convincing."

"Okay, okay, don't say too much, it's not for people in other palaces to take it, why are you so stingy in your own family, by the way, these jokers, it's not this number, the father-in-law said, you have to Double."

"What?"

"Don't be in a daze, the lord said, these are the horses and horses that His Majesty instructed, and they need special care. What about the emperor's face, can it be done without taking care of it? You don't understand this is the way of the world."

"My God, ringing the bell also needs to be taken care of?"

"Sophistication of the world requires double consistency?"

"Look, I should have learned to ring the bell back then. Look at Liu Si? He came with me, and now he can make a lot of money ringing the bell. I really regret it..."

"By the way, let's go and check on the liquor. If it's not enough, ask someone to bring some over. Don't be idle. Keep an eye on your subordinates, and don't doze off."

"Hey, look at what you said, my lady, who dares to doze off when serving others? Isn't that just looking for trouble?"

"I'm talking about you, you never dozed off when you were on duty..."

One of Ding Kezhen's four personal servants is now a beautiful court lady who is in charge, she smiled embarrassedly, and left the spot quickly...

Not to mention that Ding Kezhen was busy up and down, but only that in the hall of Da'an Palace, there are a row of bronze bells of different sizes on the left and right sides, and there are more than a dozen guqin and pipa players, all of whom are court masters playing.

In the name of a party, Li Yu has brought a large group of musicians here for three days, saying that he cooperated in advance so as not to make a fool of himself today.

It happened that there was no need for any large-scale activities in the imperial city recently, so Li Shimin pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if he didn't see it and didn't know it.

As for Li Yu's treatment, an adopted son actually lived in the imperial city like the direct prince, and Da'an Palace was about the same size as His Highness the Prince's residence, and there had been discussions behind his back for almost a year.

Li Shimin didn't explain, and Empress Changsun was too lazy to answer anyone's gossip. In her heart, she wished to help her eldest son up...

In the middle of the lower head, more than 20 beautiful and charming dancers shuttled back and forth. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, and they basically wore open court attire.
Many of the women here are the family members, wives and daughters of the ministers whose homes were ransacked.Of course there is no mention of beauty.

After the song was over, Ding Kezhen knelt down beside Li Yu and waved her hands. Dozens of dancers bowed and bowed before leaving the hall one after another.

Li Chengqian raised his wine glass and smiled;
"Eldest brother is done, and finally we can have a party and have a banquet. Let me toast to elder brother."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

On such a public occasion, Li Yu couldn't be as casual as he was in private, so he could only address him as His Highness.

"Brother please."

"Your Highness, please."

The two of them just tasted it first, Li Yu knew that the brothers would come to toast, so he just raised the wine glass;

"Brothers and virtuous brothers, today's meeting is very good, why don't we have a drink together, come, come, let me respect you, do it first and then respect."

"it is good."

"good."

"My dear brother, please."

Today's gathering is different from the past. Because of being in the imperial city, the elders of each family have explained many times that they are not allowed to get drunk, so a group of second-generation ancestors all hold their posture and drink in a controlled amount.

As soon as the hundred and ten children of different ages put down their wine glasses, a waiter came in outside.

"Qi reported to the county magistrate that there are officials from the two provinces under his family who want to announce the book making, and the county magistrate should make a decision."

Li Yu spoke loudly, calm and relaxed;

"Open the middle door to welcome you, go to the middle courtyard, and set up another incense table to receive and make books."

"only!"

Standing up, Li Yu cupped his hands while walking;
"Everyone wait for a while, go and come."

"can."

"Brother, do whatever you want."

It was all arranged in advance, Empress Changsun had already passed the gas, and even Li Yu knew the content clearly, so naturally she knew it well.

Welcomed the officials of the two provinces to the Central Plains. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the officials opened the book and read it;

"On August [-]th of the third year of Zhenguan, the order of Zhongshu... Zhongshu Shilang...

Chaosan doctor guards Zhongshu Sheren...

Servant and Huangmen Servant

Ask the doctor to watch over the matter
The imperial edict is on the right, please submit

The imperial edict will be implemented outside.Be careful.

under the door...

Tell Li Yu, the founding county magistrate, that the imperial edict is as on the right, and it will be executed upon completion..."

For welcoming the imperial edict, Li Yu is still the same, you read yours, and I sleep with mine.

However, many ears in the main hall are listening quietly.

After the reading was finished, discussions immediately started in the main hall, all in a subdued voice of course.

"Grandpa? Grandpa..."

"Huh? Oh, finished reading?"

"Yes."

"Oh."

Li Yu walked forward with a smile, and conveniently handed two gold ingots to the two officials who read out. Of course, he shook them in advance so that the other side could see clearly that they were not silver, but gold.

The two officials laughed from ear to ear...

"Congratulations, my lord, for becoming an official."

"Grandfather Congratulations, he became an official."

"It's time to work, thank you very much, please take your seat in the hall."

"Don't dare, one is the emperor's order, and the other is to go back to the province to reply, I dare not delay."

"Forget it, I'll invite you another day, you two go slowly."

"My lord stay here."

"Please."

The two of them also spoke in a high-sounding manner, but in fact, they are not qualified to sit here at all.

Li Yu returned to the hall somewhat dissatisfied, but more than 100 brothers all stared at him.

Because of what?
Because Li Shimin gave Li Yu the position of military commander under the sixth rank - Captain Zhenwei.

Li Yu felt that his dedication to the imperial court should be given to a general at the top of the fifth rank. He really didn't expect that Li Shimin would be so stingy.

Li Yu felt that he was almost the same as the captain who guarded the imperial city.

So Li Yu has been unhappy for the past few days, claiming to be sick, not going anywhere, just staying in Da'an Palace and not seeing anyone.

It was Empress Changsun, two aunts and three concubines from the Qin family and the Cheng family who came to persuade Li Yu with kind words, coaxing Li Yu to open the door and invite the brothers from the past to a gathering.

remember that night...

"My son, you don't know the ins and outs of this. It's because your majesty and the emperor are about to tear each other apart, so I got it for you, idiot!"

"Stop making trouble, ma'am?"

"I think this position is the same as that of Uncle Yuchi's, the guy who guards the front gate of the imperial city, isn't he a school lieutenant of the sixth rank?

what is this?Ma'am, would you like to comment?Do you want to guard the city gate in the future?

I don't do it, whoever wants to do it. "

Two nights before Li Yu's party, Empress Changsun called Li Yu to her.

"You child, what do you know?"

"Of course I know, that captain Chen is a sixth-rank student, so I asked clearly."

"Idiot! I also know a little about that Chen, ma'am. Under the command of General Yuchi, a person who has experienced life and death many times. He took a life and came back. I don't know how much blood he lost before he changed his position. How can you do that?" Understand this?"

"Of course you can't give it casually, I still understand this."

"It's good if you understand. Like you, I gave you this right after you were born as an official. Do you know how many people there are in the imperial court?"

Besides, don't you look at how old you are?My son, you haven't reached your twenties yet, and you will only become eighteen next year. If I give you this at this time, aren't you satisfied? "

Look at Da Lang of the Cheng family. When he became a man and became an official, he was a position lower than the eighth rank. He has been working for several years, and now he is still a seventh rank. He can compare with you ?
It’s just that he is full of ambition, full of knowledge, and worked hard in the barracks, so you Aye promoted him here,..."

Li Yu pouted very dissatisfied;
"He's not me, Aye..."

"Snapped."

"presumptuous!"

Empress Zhangsun, who had never slapped Li Yu before, slapped Li Yu's face with a single slap, leaving Li Yu in the dark.

The maids and servants next to him were dumbfounded, and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.

Ye Qingzhi, who has the best relationship with Li Yu, frantically checked Li Yu's face, it was already swollen!

He knew the background of coming and going, and of course understood where Her Highness the Queen's anger was.

"Oh, my little ancestor, why do you make His Highness unhappy, hurry up, apologize to His Highness, hurry up, ancestor...

Your Highness, you are really serious, my lord is still a child, why are you bothering...why do you need to be as knowledgeable as him..."

Li Yu, who was beaten for the first time, was unhappy, but still knelt down at the feet of the eldest grandson, lying on the lap of the eldest grandson, with tears in his eyes, resisting the grievance;

"Your Majesty, forgive me, my son was wrong."

Empress Changsun reacted in an instant, and never thought that she would really want to beat her favorite eldest son, and felt a little distressed after the fight.
Look at this favorite, most mischievous and capable son, his eyes are full of tears, and the eldest grandson empress is even more soft-hearted...

I can't wait to hold this eldest son in my arms and feel distressed, but since the fight has already been fought, it can't be done in vain, right?

What's more, he can't let his temperament go wild, the days are set for him, if he pretends to be sick every day and doesn't go out or open the door, and the emperor's book making goes on, and no one greets him, what's the matter?
Where is the face of the emperor?So Empress Changsun could only harden her heart and continue to teach her a lesson with a dark face.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"I shouldn't be disrespectful, empress... don't be like this, son... be afraid..."

"Go back and think for yourself."

"My lady...!"

"go out!"

"only!"

Li Yu had no choice but to leave the queen's bedroom with grievances, Ye Qingzhi frantically went to help and see her off, Li Yu, who was very unhappy, gently shook her arm away!
"Grandpa, please slow down... Gong..."

"Ugh……"

Ye Qingzhi turned her head and saw the water in the Queen's eyes, and hurriedly ordered her subordinates;

"Leave me all."

"only!"

After the maids and servants left, Ye Qingzhi hurried over with a silk scarf to wipe away the eldest grandson's tears;
"Your Highness, don't feel bad, you'll get beaten up..."

"This careless bastard really pissed me off. Doesn't he know that Ben Gong has done his best for him?"

"Oh my lord, why do you have to be angry with a child like him?"

"Is he still young? He is seventeen years old, and I have a son by this time."

"Hey, come on, I'll wipe it for you, you, don't look at him, he's seventeen, he's still a child, he even asked someone to come to me yesterday, and said he wanted a piece of purple leaf sandalwood to use..."

"He is a descendant of Taoism, what do you want that sandalwood for? Do you make bracelets, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha? What's going on?"

"I want to make a sandalwood spinning top. I said that I need to make a bigger spinning top so that I can enjoy playing it. Look, I still want to play a spinning top!"

"For a worthless thing, at such an age, if you still go to play the spinning top, it's hard to achieve a big deal. It's really not enough to plan."

Is it really difficult for Li Yu to make a big deal?Vertical?Insufficiency and conspiracy?

This is the eldest grandson's angry words, why don't you try to say it again?Changsun could throw a teacup on him.

"That's why the servant said, don't get angry with the father-in-law, he is just a child!"

"I ignore him, he knows the sky is high and the earth is thick? He has been closed for a few days? If we continue to torment, the emperor's temper will come up."

"Your Highness, don't you know the father-in-law's temperament? The master who eats soft but not hard..."

"Don't talk too much, you go, you make arrangements now."

"Where are you going, Your Highness?"

"Go to General Qin's mansion, and his third uncle's mansion, and invite the two wives to come forward and make sure he is cleared up tomorrow. There will be no further delay in the day after tomorrow. For these few days, I will be here. You must not be presumptuous any longer."

"Okay, okay, servant girl is going now."

"Wait, you don't have to go, it's the middle of the night, you're not feeling well recently, just ask the subordinates to explain things clearly, what are you going to do?
Remember, to be clear, the two ladies naturally know how to do it. "

"Your Highness, don't worry, the servant will explain."

"Go quickly."

Ye Qingxi hurriedly left the eldest grandson's bedroom, told his subordinates to go out to do errands, and then came back to serve him.

"By the way, Qingzhi, what happened to the post I wrote in his family yesterday?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the servant has finished explaining, and it is carried out behind the father's back. During lunch today, the chief steward over there even asked someone to come in and write back to the servant, saying that everything has been written, and none of the family has failed, just waiting for you arrangement."

"That's good, send it out, and send it out tomorrow morning, and we will have a party in Da'an Palace the next morning."
