Man Tanghong

Chapter 352 Pain and happiness
In just a few days, the palace changed again. Although it was already dark, the changes in various parts of the palace could still be seen.

Red palace lanterns were hung on the eaves everywhere, red candles were lit on the stone lanterns everywhere, and the palace guards were all equipped with golden armor, each of which was polished brightly, reflecting in the moonlight and candlelight. Pieces of metallic luster.

The arms of the palace guards were still tied with red silk, and the banners around them were mostly bright colors.

What makes people feel weird is that the people in the palace are obviously ready for the festival, but there is no festive atmosphere in the palace at all.

At this time in previous years, the palace would not only hang red lanterns and light red candles, but would also hang red and colorful decorations on the main halls everywhere, and light long-necked bronze lamps in the halls that lasted day and night, reflecting the imperial city into a city that never sleeps day and night. .

But this year, not only did the main hall not be hung in red, nor was the long-necked bronze lamp lit in the store, even the passing palace people did not smile at all.

"What happened?"

As soon as Li Yuanji returned to his Wude Hall, he asked the female officials and eunuchs who stayed in the Wude Hall.

Yang Miaoyan also sensed that the atmosphere in the palace was not right, and stretched her neck to stare at the female officials and eunuchs waiting for the answer.

The female officials and eunuchs all lowered their heads, unable to see clearly.

One of the female officials said respectfully: "This morning, everyone issued a decree to prohibit Daqing and all halls from wearing red silk. Originally, the ministers had already hung red silk everywhere in the hall, but after getting everyone's order, they took it down again. gone."

Li Yuanji looked puzzled, and looked at Yang Miaoyan involuntarily.

Yang Miaoyan also looked over.

Both sides saw a trace of bewilderment in each other's eyes.

Li Yuanji couldn't help but said again: "Why did my father make such a decree?"

The female officer rushed to bend her waist down a little more, and said quickly: "I dare not guess everyone's thoughts."

Li Yuan didn't express his attitude clearly, so the people in the palace didn't dare to guess randomly.

Li Yuanji did not make things difficult for the female officials and eunuchs who stayed behind, and asked Yang Miaoyan to take the people in the house to settle down first, and sent someone to find out about Yin Ashu.

But any disturbance in the palace should not be hidden from Yin Ashu's eyes and ears.

Yin Ashu definitely dared to guess, even dared to inquire about things that the female officials and eunuchs who stayed behind did not dare to guess randomly.

So Li Yuanji felt that he should be able to hear some news from Yin Ashu.

Half an hour later, the person who went to find Yin Ashu to inquire about the news came back, Li Yuanji met him in the main hall of Wude Hall, and after going through the simple etiquette process, Li Yuanji immediately asked, "What did Yin Ashu say? "

Lu Shanggong bent his waist and said with a strange expression: "Return to Your Highness, Yin Jianmen said that everyone is thinking of His Highness Taiyuan King, that's why they made this decree."

Yin Ashu's original words were actually "the sage wanted to be the eldest son of His Highness the Crown Prince, that's why he came here."

There was something disrespectful in the words, so Lu Shanggong didn't dare to repeat it in the original words.

She didn't have a daughter to be a concubine in the palace, and she didn't have anyone to back her up, so she didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect to Li Yuan.

Li Yuanji sighed, not knowing what to say.

Li Yuan really wanted to come out as soon as possible.

If he is unhappy himself, he has to let everyone be unhappy with him.

It's really a regal majesty like the sea, and the imperial power is cold.

Prosperity makes the mountains and rivers move, and sorrow makes the mountains and rivers mourn together.

"I see, you go down."

Li Yuanji waved his hand.

Lu Shanggong saluted respectfully, and stepped back out of the main hall of Wude Hall.

……

Silent all night.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Li Yuanji shared the news with Yang Miaoyan, Yang Miaoyan couldn't laugh or cry.

Let's say that Li Yuan loves his grandson. When Li Chengzong was alive, he didn't see how much Li Yuan loved Li Chengzong.

Let's say that Li Yuan doesn't love his grandson. Li Chengzong has been dead for more than half a year, and Li Yuan still immerses himself in grief from time to time.

However, this doesn't have much to do with Li Yuanji, so it doesn't deserve too much attention.

After telling Yang Miaoyan to send Li Chengqian back to Chengqing Hall, Li Yuanji nestled in the main hall of Wude Hall, continued to live the same life as Dongyue last year, quietly waiting for Yuanri.

Without the disturbance of the four little guys, Li Chengqian, and the entanglement of other Yingying and Yanyan, Li Yuanji and Yang Miaoyan happily lived a shameless life.

It wasn't until Ling Jing and Li Xiaogong each sent someone to reply that Li Yuanji crawled out of Rurouxiang.

"Wang Hejian said that the Dou family has an iron mountain in Zhaozhou?"

Inside the main hall of Wude Hall.

After listening to the guard's report, Li Yuanji pondered.

The guard nodded solemnly, and placed the information Li Xiaogong found on the case table with both hands.

Li Yuanji read it roughly, understood all Dou's business in Zhaozhou, and also understood why Dou could not let go of Li's in Zhaozhou.

The Dou family has an iron mountain in Zhaozhou, which is very close to Zanhuang Mountain, Dou Gui's former fiefdom. The iron reserves are very rich, and it can bring tens of thousands of income to the Dou family every year.

Tens of thousands of guan is not much for Li Yuanji, but for Dou, it is a very rich income.

Whether the Dou family can have a fat year every year depends entirely on this income.

It's no wonder Dou is so hard to let go.

"If you were any other honorable person, I'm afraid you wouldn't give up easily."

Li Yuanji sighed in his heart.

Don't look at the fact that when Sun Simiao and other apricot forest masters gave free consultations, the nobles of Chang'an City raised medicinal materials worth millions of guan at once. Tens of thousands of consistent income.

You know, the medicinal materials worth millions of guan were collected by all the nobles in Chang'an City.

Apportioned to each account, only a few thousand dollars.

The previous free clinic was led by Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji.

As their vassals, when the nobles were raising medicinal materials, they naturally did their best to raise them.

It can be seen from this that a few thousand coins is a lot of money for some nobles in Chang'an City.

Tens of thousands of guan, that is the big money in the big money.

Almost all nobles cannot be ignored.

It's just that Dou's attitude can be ignored for the sake of profit, Li Yuanji really can't bear it.

"Since it's shameless to give face, don't blame me for slapping face."

Li Yuanji left behind the information sent by Li Xiaogong, and made preparations to face the Dou family and the Li family of Zhaozhou at the same time.

……

New Year's Eve (New Year's Eve).

Under Yang Miaoyan's attire, Li Yuanji put on a costume, and brought Yang Miaoyan, Li Chengye, Li Ling, and Li Xu who were also in costumes to the Hall of Liangyi.

Before leaving, he specially distributed New Year's rewards to the people in Wude Hall.

There are not many rewards, just a little money, a little wine and meat, and a little cloth.

But if this is the case, the people of His Highness Wu De are also very grateful.

Amidst the congratulations from the Wude Palace, Li Yuanji took the gift that was about to be given to Li Yuan, and hand in hand with the beautiful Yang Miaoyan, sat on Bao Lun and wandered to the Hall of Liangyi.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have already arrived one step ahead.

Under the alchemy, Li Yuanji saw Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's Bao Huan, as well as the palace servants waiting to be summoned at any time.

In addition, Li Yuanji also saw the frames of Changsha, Xiangyang, Li Xiuning and others, as well as the frames of the royal family.

"Ah Lang, we won't be the last ones, will we?"

Yang Miaoyan also saw the treasures and frame of Li Jiancheng and others. After counting them carefully, he found that everything that should have arrived seemed to have arrived, so he asked a little awkwardly.

The last one to arrive is easily criticized and rude.

There are some small-minded and mean people who like to care about this kind of thing.

Li Yuanji patted Yang Miaoyan's hand with a smile, signaling Yang Miaoyan to be at ease.

It's good that he can arrive, why do you care about time?

There really are those who don't have long eyes who dare to jump out, he doesn't mind teaching the other party to be a man.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, His Royal Highness Concubine Qi Yuan...here!"

Liu Jun, who was guarding the gate of Liangyi Hall, immediately announced it.

With a warm smile, Li Yuanji led Yang Miaoyan onto the Danxiu and entered the Hall of Liangyi.

When I went to the Hall of Liangyi, I saw that a group of royal family members had already sat down and began to chat with each other. Except for Li Yuan's concubines, a few grandchildren of the emperor, granddaughters of the emperor, and the main wives of various clans, almost all of them were surnamed Li. of.

The son-in-law is rather sad. Although he is eligible to enter the palace to participate in the New Year's Eve banquet, he is not eligible to enter the main hall and can only entertain himself in the side hall next door.

"Why did you come?"

Li Yuangao sat in the middle of the Liangyi Hall, with a straight face, and the words of accountability were the first thing he said.

Since the New Year's Eve banquet was a family banquet, Li Yuan did not present the emperor's genealogy, but spent the festive season with everyone in the clan as the patriarch of a big family.

Li Yuanji acted as if he hadn't heard Li Yuan's words. With a smile on his face, he brought his wife and children into the hall. After saluting Li Yuan and the elders of the Li family, he recalled Li Yuan's words indifferently, " slept through..."

Li Yuan stared angrily, "How could you sleep through such an important day? Do you still have my father in your eyes?"

Li Yuanji was expressionless and rolled his eyes inwardly.

What prestige are you playing at me?

You play with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

The two of them are the two that worry the most.

Li Yuanji was sure that Li Yuan probably hit a soft nail on Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin before he arrived just now, so now he continues to find a son to show off his majesty as a father.

But he was more unlucky and became the most bullied one in Li Yuan's eyes.

So he didn't want to talk to Li Yuan.

Otherwise, Li Yuan would be more enthusiastic.

"That's all, all right, brother, it's a great day, why bother with a child."

Li Shentong ran out dumbfounded to smooth things over, seemingly helping Li Yuanji out of the siege, but in fact he was helping Li Yuan out of the siege.

After all, if Li Yuan lost his temper at Li Yuanji, if Li Yuanji ignored his words, he would become more and more angry, and eventually he would get mad at himself.

Li Yuan glared at Li Yuanji indignantly, gritted his teeth and said, "How could I give birth to such three rebellious sons!"

Li Yuanji felt happy all at once.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have also been upgraded, and they have also become rebellious sons.

If you think about it carefully, what Li Yuan said is also true.

Judging from the actions of Li Yuan's three sons in history, they are indeed three rebellious sons.

And they are all rebellious, indestructible kind of rebels.

I don't know what virtues Li Yuan has accumulated and what evils he has committed.

The sons are capable and rebellious, which really made Li Yuan thoroughly understand what it means to be pained and happy.

Ok……

It is no different now than it has been in history.
