Great Tang princess

Chapter 185 The Arrangements of Years Ago

Li Yuechen and even what he wants to do can't be successful in a short period of time, so he has to do it little by little and start slowly.

Education is the foundation.

At present, it is only a small school, but this will become the beginning of Datang's literacy.

Knowing that these people can grow up, there will inevitably be more teachers in the future who are willing to teach more students.

After the school was established in the next year, it was almost time to start working on printing books.

First of all, it is still necessary to focus on agriculture.

……

In the courtyard of the Royal Farm, Li Yuechen taught the children the last lesson of the year before.

Lu Zhaolin was sitting next to him, playing with his wife and children with a smile on his face. Suddenly seeing that Li Yuechen hadn't left, he wondered if he had something to say.

Standing in front of a group of children, Li Yuechen said loudly: "This year's winter vacation homework is to write down the experience of watching the planting in the village over the years!"

"Planting experience?" Boss Zhang couldn't help asking, "Is it about the process of farming?"

"It can also be understood in this way." Li Yuechen nodded, "In short, work hard, and I will check your results when the school starts next year."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuechen turned around and waved his hands: "See you next year, I wish you a happy new year in advance!"

Although it's only early November, but considering that I'm staying in the palace during the Chinese New Year, I definitely don't have time to play with these children, so I said it in advance.

The children also saluted very politely: "I wish Your Highness a happy New Year!"

"Okay, let's go play, don't forget your winter vacation homework!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, then got on his horse and returned to the palace after speaking.

……

During this period of time, Li Yuechen would still go to the prison guard's office for actual combat training, but he didn't use his own hammer, but a wooden gun stick.

The only difference is that the number of people in charge of sparring with her has increased from four to six, and it seems that it is still not enough.

But now the soldiers guarding the gate looked at the princess with more awe than usual.

Especially those who witnessed the scene where she bent an iron rod with a hammer that day, didn't even dare to look at her.

The army is a place where the strong are respected, especially the army of this era, so it is normal to have such an attitude towards Li Yuechen.

And Li Yuechen also thinks this is good, at least it shows that he can establish his own prestige in the army in the future, which will be of great help to his future plans.

To put it bluntly, the louder one's reputation is, the more frightened those who face him will be.

……

After practicing with a few soldiers all morning, Li Yuechen went back to take a shower, and then planned to go out to see what else he could do a few years ago.

But when she was about to eat, a little eunuch came outside the door, saying that her father asked her to come over for lunch.

With a promise, Li Yuechen wrapped his half-dry hair in a towel and came to the Hall of Renshou.

Entering the hall, I found that the two elder brothers Li Xian and Li Lun were there, and they seemed to be planning to announce something.

Seeing his daughter coming over like a big-headed baby, Li Zhi chuckled: "Chen'er has a much bigger head."

"My child's hair is not dry yet." Li Yuechen explained, and sat down next to him: "What do you want Grandpa to call your child over today?"

Li Zhi rolled the health care ball and said: "Well, think about it carefully, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and I plan to go hunting outside the city in two days, would Chen'er be willing to go with me?"

hunt?

Speaking of which, hunting is indeed an activity exclusive to nobles in this era, but isn't it usually autumn?What kind of hunting is this winter?

"Why did Grandpa suddenly think of hunting?" Li Yuechen asked a little puzzled.

"It's just that you haven't been out of the palace for a long time, are you a little bored?" Li Zhi smiled.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Okay, my child has no objection."

If the old man wants to hunt, he can go with him. Maybe the headache will be relieved a lot when he is in a good mood?
Li Yuechen is not against this kind of hunting activities, although she can be regarded as an animal protector.

But a little different is that she only protects the animals she likes.

"Okay then, you get ready and leave in two days." Li Zhi nodded with a smile, "Chen'er take your iron bow with you and see how powerful it will be then."

"Okay!" Li Yuechen agreed.

Seeing his daughter agreeing, Li Zhi nodded with a smile, probably impatient to see the effect of her nearly [-]-jin magic bow.

While chatting, let the children stay for dinner, and by the way talked about going hunting in two days.

The family members sat together to eat and chat, which is now the habit of the royal family, and the atmosphere is extremely harmonious.

After eating, the family sat down to continue chatting, and Li Yuechen secretly kicked third brother Li Xian from below.

Li Xian turned his head in doubt, saw Li Yuechen's eyes flickering, lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded in understanding.

Then he got up directly to make tea: "Boy, come and make tea for the two adults."

"Well, my son has a heart." Wu Zetian nodded with a smile, and exchanged a glance with Li Zhi.

The couple knew their children very well. Li Xian was so abnormal today, and when he thought of the eye contact he had with his daughter just now, he immediately understood what was going on.

However, the two of them didn't break it, and they still chatted with the children with a smile on their faces.

While chatting, Zhang Chengxin walked in suddenly: "Sage, Shangguan Shangyi is asking to see you."

"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded.

After Zhang Chengxin saluted and turned to go out, Li Yuechen was a little puzzled, did the newspaper office receive some strange news again?
After a while, Shangguan Wan'er walked in, saluted and took out a piece of paper with both hands: "Sage, there are rumors on the streets of Chenzhou that someone has seen a phoenix..."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Li Zhi suddenly became interested, and beckoned, "Submit it!"

Zhang Chengxin hurriedly handed the paper in her hand to Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian next to her looked over curiously.

What was probably written on the paper was that someone in Chenzhou said that he saw a phoenix, and it slowly spread throughout the streets and alleys...

Wu Zetian smiled after reading it: "Seeing the phoenix is ​​also auspicious!"

"Hmm..." Li Zhi nodded.

Both Li Xian and Li Lun looked eager to try, and seemed to want to see what was recorded on the wisdom paper.

Only Li Yuechen curled his lips with a strange face, and suddenly thought of something.

I seem to have seen a picture on the Internet before. It seems to be a work of the Ming Dynasty. It probably means that it is something to catch a unicorn.

However, what was painted on that picture was a giraffe!

So back to the present, Li Yuechen didn't believe in the existence of creatures like phoenixes at all.But considering the special background of the times, it might be a creature like a flamingo.

In this era, knowledge about alien species is relatively scarce. Although flamingos are distributed all over the world, they are still relatively rare in Asia.

If you see it occasionally, it doesn't seem strange to be regarded as a phoenix.

Putting down the paper in his hand, Li Zhi smiled: "Since it's being passed on in the streets and alleys, it can indeed be regarded as auspicious."

Wu Zetian next to him suddenly said, "How about changing the year name?"

Damn, change the year name again?Li Yuechen was stunned.

Sometimes I really want to use my hammer to knock my mother's skull open to see what's inside.

Seriously, how many years have I changed since I was born, do you two have any compulsion in your mind?

Gaozu and Taizong only have two year names in total. You two are lucky. Changing year names is like changing underwear...

Li Zhi nodded: "Okay, does Meiniang have any suggestions?"

"Since it is the birth of the phoenix, how about changing it to 'Yifeng'?"

"Yifeng..." Li Zhi murmured softly, nodded his head slightly, and looked up at his daughter, "What do you think of Chen'er?"

I think it's better to call it 'Already Crazy'!

"Baby thinks it's good!" Li Yuechen nodded indifferently, turned his head and asked, "Where are the two brothers?"

"I think it's very good. Auntie has always been very stylish in naming her." Li Xian flattered her.

Although he knew it was his son's flattery, Wu Zetian still enjoyed hearing it.

To say this, Li Yuechen also agrees with it.

After all, this mother seems to have a special hobby in this area, and even the descendants of Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu's clan changed their surnames.

Li Lun has always been a bit timid and timid, so he just nodded beside him and didn't speak.

"Okay, that's it for that!" Li Zhi nodded, "It just so happens that the officials will be announced tomorrow..."

……

After chatting for more than an hour, it was already mid-afternoon when Li Yuechen and his two elder brothers walked out of the Hall of Renshou.

Just as he was about to leave, Li Xian suddenly said: "Yuechen, there will be a play of the cold and the cold tomorrow afternoon, how about I go to the city wall to watch it together?"

Li Yuechen was not interested in activities like a bunch of shirtless old men pouring cold water, and was about to refuse.

Li Lun next to him suddenly said: "Yuechen, let's go together, I just brought my two elder sisters and sister-in-law to visit. It's boring to stay in the harem all day, isn't it?"

"Yes, let's take a look together, the more people there are, the more lively it will be." Li Xian advised.

Li Yuechen thinks about it too, the women in the harem can't see the complete opposite sex all day long, and they will always feel depressed.

I have heard occasionally before that the ladies in the court also fight in groups because of some conflicts, which should be the reason for being too bored.

Speaking of which, we should see if we can change these court ladies into a system similar to military service in the future.

If a certain period of time has passed, if you have not been filled into the harem by the emperor and want to leave, you can give a sum of money to go out of the palace to get married or do some business.

Speaking of which, they were all a group of poor people, either they were sold to the palace because their families couldn't support them, or they came in as sinners' wives just like Shangguan Wan'er.

If the system can be modified, maybe these court ladies can create greater value for the country after they go out.

……

Li Yuechen, who realized that he was thinking a little far away, shook his head, and then said: "Well, let's go watch together tomorrow."

"That's great!" Li Xian grinned, "With Yuechen and Elder Sister here, I think we won't be scolded."

Good guy, feelings are using me to block the gun for you, right?Li Yuechen immediately understood the third brother's intentions.

"Brother, you use me as a shield, aren't you afraid of my revenge in the future?" Li Yuechen asked with drooping eyelids.

"Don't worry, Yuechen, you don't want to part with it." Li Xian smiled, "You help me as a brother, and I will go to the fief for my brother in the future, and I will definitely find any interesting objects for you."

"Ha ha."

Li Yuechen didn't take his brother's guarantee to heart at all.

No matter how many good things you have in your fief, can you have as many as the capital?Besides, who is the old lady?What about your rotten thing?

But forget it, no matter what, it's my own brother, so let's block the gun, who let him have such a good sister.

While chatting, Li Yuechen waved his hand to say goodbye.

After returning to Anfu Hall, seeing everyone was there, I happened to tell the two sisters and sister-in-law to go to see the Pohanhu Opera together tomorrow.

They didn't have any objections. After staying in the palace for a long time, they always yearned for the outside world.

Although Pohan Huxi is just a boring activity in Li Yuechen's view, for them, it can indeed be used to pass the time.

……

At the court meeting the next day, Tianhou announced that the name of the reign would be changed to the first year of Yifeng.

For this kind of thing, the ministers seem to have a no-nonsense attitude, just change the year name, you can change it if you want.

As long as it's not a policy that violates the ancestral system, even Yushitai doesn't bother to complain about it.

After the announcement of the name change, there was a lot of trivial news, nothing worth paying attention to.

Feeling a little bored, Li Yuechen gestured to Shangguan Wan'er, intending to leave early.

However, at this moment, a voice came from above the court: "Report to the Queen of Heaven, His Royal Highness the King of Xun wrote the book "On Loyalty and Filial Piety", please read it to the Queen of Heaven."

Li Yuechen turned his head, and it was Fan Lubing, the servant of the door who was talking, his mother's dog leg... a die-hard supporter.

Usually, some things that are not convenient for my mother to come forward are basically his responsibility.

After hearing his report, Li Yuechen who was about to leave suddenly stopped, and then sighed slightly.

This matter was brought up on the spot, no matter what the conclusion was, my half-brother might be in danger.

Li Lian, King of Xun, the fourth son of his father Li Zhi, born of Concubine Xiao Shu.Unlike the two older sisters, as a boy, he would definitely be regarded as a serious concern by his mother.

He was kicked out of the capital by his mother many years ago, and went to a fiefdom to be a vassal, and he was not allowed to enter the capital without important matters.

I have never seen him since I was born, and I don't know him well.

But at this time, writing such a book was sent to the court, and it was in front of the Queen of Heaven...

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen couldn't help shaking his head with regret, this old man might be in danger.

Li Yuechen didn't plan to do anything, she had never seen this brother before, and she didn't know what kind of person he was.

What's more, it's still that sentence.Brother and sister are different, men will be regarded as a serious problem by the mother.

It's better for me not to go into this muddy water. If I leave a bad impression on my mother, it will be troublesome.

But she couldn't figure it out, how could this book be brought up to the court?
As long as that old man is not stupid, he should know that it would be fine if this kind of book was presented to his father secretly, but now that the Empress knows about it, it will be a big trouble.

In this situation, at most, Dad can save his life.

Li Yuechen felt that at this point in the matter, this old brother might not be far from the dismissal officer...
