Man Tanghong

Chapter 338 Tang Dynasty has year-end awards?
There is a saying that stands tall and sees far.

But the higher you stand, the more wind and frost you will suffer.

If you can't stand the wind and frost, you will fall as high as you stand.

The group of people who are holding sacrifices in the square in front of the Taiji Hall, that one is not a person who stands on a high place, swallows the world with arrogance, and has a heart full of the world.

But how many of them ended well?
The most honorable Li Yuan is now in control of the power, the heaven and the earth, and I am the only one, but in his later years, he can only hide in the depths of the forbidden palace, playing the pipa in self-pity.

Li Jiancheng, who is slightly inferior to Li Yuan, is now the crown prince and controls the promotion and scheduling of most civil officials in the world. It can also be said that he holds great power, but he does not even have old age.

Li Shimin, who was slightly inferior to Li Jiancheng, now occupies the position of Tiance Admiral, ranking above all officials. Without Li Yuanji, he would be able to advance a few steps in the future, reaching the point of being one emperor through the ages and being superior to all heroes.

But his life in his later years was so-so. His son rebelled one after another, which made him have to attack his son again and again, which eventually caused the tragedy of the white-haired man giving the black-haired man time and time again.

Even after his death, his son secretly smeared a handful of ashes on his face.

As for the others, although they met two emperors who treated them fairly well, most of them also paid a heavy price in the successive changes of imperial power, and their old age was not satisfactory.

Some people even died and their graves were dug up.

In some cases, the whole family was reunited soon after the death.

There are also some people who were implicated by their descendants and reunited with the three clans soon. They slept well in the emperor's tomb and were also moved out of the emperor's tomb.

So, being promising, especially having a big future, is not necessarily a good thing.

Sometimes it's not necessarily good to live in the homes of ordinary people.

At least, in this era when imperial power does not go to the countryside and filial piety is highly respected, when a commoner is old, as long as he has both children, he can enjoy meticulous care and filial piety that is almost god-worshipping.

If you have a little wealth and status, you can still sit in the countryside as a local emperor.

"The villain doesn't quite understand what His Royal Highness said."

The guard licked his face and said.

Li Yuanji smiled cheerfully and didn't say much.

The fact that the prison guard can say this proves that the prison guard understands the meaning of what he said, but he doesn't want to discuss this topic with him, so he has to pretend to be confused.

"Go and watch outside, and call me after the Nuo Opera Festival is over."

Li Yuanji saw that the four little guys were yawning with their mouths open, so he asked the prison gate officer to guard outside.

The prison guard nodded without hesitation, and after leaving the turret, he personally guarded the side of the turret.

This is why many people like to let their servants do everything.

Don't ask questions, don't push back and forth, do what you are asked to do, and never compromise.

Li Yuanji coaxed the four little ones to fall asleep, and he himself lay slightly on the arc-shaped wooden backrest equipped with the couch and closed his eyes.

In a daze, I felt someone sticking something into my nostril.

Frowning and opening his eyes, he saw four little guys who had woken up, holding pens and stuffing them up their noses. One of them was dipped in ink, as if they were about to draw something on their faces.

The prison guard bent over and stood quietly not far from the four little guys.

"You're itchy, aren't you?"

Li Yuanji frightened angrily.

The four little guys screamed strangely and ran away quickly.

Before Li Yuanji could speak again, the prison gate officer wisely sent someone to follow him.

"The Nuo opera festival is over?"

Li Yuanji stared at the prison gate officer and asked after the people sent by the prison gate officer followed the four little guys out of the turret.

The prison gate officer hurriedly said: "Return to the Fourth Highness, we are wrapping up."

Li Yuanji glanced out, looked at the sky, and saw that the bright moon in the sky had left a shadow, so he couldn't help but said: "I haven't finished tossing all night?"

The sky in the north, especially the sky in the twelfth lunar month.

When the sky is bright, the moon can still see a faint shadow.

Only when the sun rises, the moon will quietly disperse.

So when he saw that there was only a faint shadow left on the moon, Li Yuanji knew that it was almost dawn.

The prison guard pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything.

Only Li Yuanji dared to speak rudely and said that the Nuo Opera Festival was a toss.

Others dare not talk nonsense.

Li Yuanji saw that the prison guard didn't speak, and asked again: "Why did this year's Nuo Opera Festival take so long?"

The prison guard smiled wryly and said: "The Second Highness entered the palace in the middle of the night and interrupted the Nuo Opera Festival, Your Highness, you took several young Highnesses down to the altar again.

The re-sacrifice will naturally take longer. "

Li Yuanji gave the prison guard a blank look.

This is not my fault, don't forget to plant it on me.

"If that's the case, then I'll go back first."

Li Yuanji got up slowly, said something with some disinterest, and was about to leave with the four little guys.

In case Li Yuan had finished offering sacrifices and wanted someone to teach his son, wouldn't it be dangerous for him to stay here.

He didn't do anything wrong, why should he help Li Shimin share the pressure.

He also didn't intend to fight with Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to the death. He ran out and was used as a gun by Li Yuan, and he didn't get half of the benefits.

Seeing that Li Yuanji was about to leave, the prison gate officer hurriedly stopped him: "Farewell, Fourth Highness."

Li Yuanji looked at him suspiciously.

The prison gate officer hastily added: "After the Nuo Opera Festival every year, the Lord will give some rewards to everyone in the government and the public according to the harvest of each year.

At the beginning of the year, you fought a few big victories and became famous all over the world. In the middle of the year, the people in your family won a few more big victories, adding a lot of color to you.

The Lord will definitely reward you heavily.

If you leave now, you're missing out. "

Li Yuanji chuckled and asked, "Will I care about that little reward?"

The prison guard froze in place in astonishment, not knowing what to say.

Li Yuanji said again: "Even if I don't go, can my father lose my share?"

Hearing this, the prison guard wanted to hit someone a little bit.

Listen, is this a human language?

Li Yuanji didn't care about the guard's thoughts, and greeted the four little guys who were running wildly outside the turret.

"You four, stop playing and follow me back home."

The four little guys were facing the cold wind, opening their mouths wide and screaming.

Listening to the weird ah ah sound that is blocked by the cold wind from time to time, I feel very happy.

Hearing Li Yuanji's greeting, he reluctantly returned to the turret.

Li Yuanji took them with him and rushed to Wude Hall.

After arriving at Wude Hall, he greeted everyone, packed up his things, and rushed to Jiulongtan Mountain again.

Li Yuanji still prefers to stay in Jiulongtan Mountain, compared to the imperial palace, where intrigue is inevitable.

At least, in Jiulongtan Mountain, even intrigues are not so frequent, and not too many brain cells will die because of it.

As for Li Yuan's reward after the Nuo Opera Festival, Li Yuanji didn't care at all.

He came to the palace to participate in the Nuo Opera Festival, he came for Yang Miaoyan's face, not for Li Yuan's reward.

The authority and territory that Li Yuan can give him have reached the limit that he can have.

If you give him rewards, you can only give him some rare treasures and a lot of Adu objects.

He doesn't care much yet.

The sea transportation he is in charge of will soon be unblocked, and the water transportation he is in charge of will soon be profitable for him.

If he likes Aduwu, he can get it by himself, and he doesn't need to be greedy for Li Yuan's reward.

……

Not long after Li Yuanji left the palace, Li Yuan ended the annual Nuo opera festival.

After tossing all night, not only were everyone not sleepy, but they seemed very energetic.

Because everyone knows that Li Yuan will give them the 'year-end bonus' soon.

Some of them will be promoted when Li Yuan distributes the 'year-end award'.

So it is impossible for them to be sleepy. Even if they are sleepy, they have to stab their thighs with hairpins, trying to lift themselves up.

Li Yuan returned to the Taiji Hall with a group of energetic civil, military and clan relatives, changed his sacrificial clothes, and after putting on the court clothes, he began to go to court and began to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards.

It was only after glancing around among the civil, military and clan members that his face darkened.

Li Yuanji's son-in-law was not there, and his grandson seemed to have been kidnapped.

No reason! !
"Where is King Qi?"

Li Yuan asked with a dark face.

Civil and military and clan relatives, you look at me, I look at you, and began to look for the figure of King Qi.

The eldest grandson cautiously asked Yang Miaoyan beside him, "Where is the fourth brother?"

Yang Miaoyan looked blank, you ask me, who should I ask?
I put all my heart into the Nuo opera festival, and I really don't have time to stare at my husband.

Seeing that no one answered, Li Yuan shouted displeasedly: "Does no one know?"

An eunuch on duty hurriedly walked into the hall with small steps, bowed and said, "Return to the saint, His Royal Highness King Qi left the palace with a few young His Highnesses when the sky just dawned."

"Oh!"

Li Yuan was angry.

I really don't take Lao Tzu as the emperor.

"Does he still have me in his eyes?!"

Yang Miaoyan hurriedly stepped forward to help her husband and said, "Go back to father, Ah Lang must have had another brain attack, so he went back to Jiulongtan Mountain early and asked Mr. Sun for his diagnosis and treatment."

Li Yuan's anger got stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to express it.

No matter how angry he is, it's impossible for him to spread it on a son with brain disease.

For people with brain problems, whether it is him or other people in Datang, they all have a certain amount of goodwill.

After all, no matter how capable and powerful you are, you can't argue with someone with a brain problem.

It's just that he has already figured out the problem of his fourth son's brain disease.

The fourth son did not have any brain disease at all. The fourth son lied about having a brain disease and hid in Jiulongtan Mountain just to avoid being caught between the eldest son and the second son.

It's just that he can't tell the truth about this matter, and he has to cooperate with his fourth son to complete the lie.

Since the fourth son is unwilling to be caught between the eldest son and the second son, it is not easy for him to drag the fourth son into trouble.

It is also because the fourth son is the only one among his many sons who can help him.

With the elder son and the second son already tearing their skins apart, the helper of the fourth son is even more important.

"Even so, you can't leave without saying goodbye."

Li Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart, and scolded in dissatisfaction.
