A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 361

The next morning.

Huaiyu went to court with panda eyes on his face, yawning profusely.

He also didn't expect that the Fan Xuan Talisman's combat power had soared now, and he really felt like a wolf and a tiger. He was now considered a battle-tested man, and he was almost unable to subdue, and he insisted on fighting for three rounds to win it.

The result is lack of sleep early in the morning, and even feels a little backache.

In the early court, Huaiyu dozed off all the time, but he really didn't sleep well recently, he hurried back to Beijing, ran to the sand garden to intercept and kill Wang Junkuo, and then rushed back to return to his life.

At the end of the court meeting, the servant named Huaiyu and other officials and ministers, and asked them to go to the inner court to discuss matters.

Wu Huaiyu followed Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Wen Yanbo, Qin Qiong and others into the inner court. The emperor was already in the palace, sitting on the imperial couch, listening to a beautiful woman playing the pipa with his eyes closed.

The emperor enjoyed it very much, and gently tapped his hands on his legs.

Huaiyu recognized that this pipa girl was the Pei Yunu who originally belonged to Wang Junkuo's mansion and had been rewarded to him, and then the emperor called her to leave.

At this time, Pei Yunu was dressed in palace attire and her head was full of emerald jewels. She could no longer see the distressed appearance of that day. She was immersed in playing and focused very much.

But Huaiyu found that she was not happy, she was very numb. Although she played the pipa well, she felt hollow.

She is like a plaything, tossing and turning between all parties, like a rootless floating apple.

The prime ministers and ministers sat down quietly, and no one disturbed the emperor.

After a long time, a song will be played.

Li Shimin opened his eyes, very satisfied.

He even composed a poem in public.

"There are no two shadows in half a moon, and there are four seasons in the whole flower. Destroying the thousands of miles away, concealing several sorrows. The red sleeves are lingering in the fast festival, and the green curtains are full in the clear. Therefore, lovesickness from generation to generation.”

The emperor's poem is quite good.

But Wu Huaiyu reckoned that the emperor had been contemplating this poem for a long time, and it wasn't done on the spot.

Li Shimin's poems are still good, but in terms of culture, he is actually far behind his cousin Yang Guang. Li Shimin has done many poems like Yang Guang, but they are all inferior, such as the Great Wall of Yinma Cave travel, such as the spring river flowers and moonlit night.

His martial arts and military skills are far superior to Yang Guang, but he is indeed not as good as Yang Guang in terms of poetry, calligraphy and painting.

However, Li Shimin likes to write poetry, calligraphy and painting.

"Huaiyu, your frontier poems are famous all over the world, why don't you also write a poem for this pipa girl."

Huaiyu didn't want to do it at first, and didn't want to steal the emperor's limelight.

But Li Shimin insisted on asking him to compose poems, and Wang Gui, Wen Yanbo and the others actually asked Huaiyu to compose poems, as if they wanted to see Huaiyu's true skills. Those frontier poems before were watery, and they weren't even written by him.

"It would be embarrassing for the minister to write a poem for the pipa girl. I don't have the poetic talent that your Majesty can get. However, I have worked with Xu Jingzong who was demoted to Xunyang County, Jiangzhou. There have been some correspondence, he once met a pipa girl at the head of the Xunyang River, "

Huaiyu began to make up stories. Xu Jingzong did tell Huaiyu about this in his letter. When he was seeing off a friend at Xunyang Wharf, he met a woman from Chang'an who played the pipa on a boat. It was a very simple matter. , the woman played the pipa very well, Xu Jingzong couldn't help but feel that he was not satisfied, so he complained to Huaiyu in the letter, thinking that he was the wife who was neglected by the businessman.

"Later, I made a poem based on this, and revised it many times. Today, I have the courage to recite it for your majesty and all the princes. Please correct me."

"Seeing off guests at night on the Xunyang River, maple leaves and flowers rustling in autumn..."

A long poem by Bai Juyi on the pipa, recited by Huaiyu Dangdian,
When he chanted the last sentence, who was crying the most? When Jiangzhou Sima's green shirt was wet, the hall was silent.Wang Gui, the waiter who was suspicious of Huaiyu just now, was full of surprise and admiration.

The poem is long and well written.

A Jiangzhou Sima met a pipa girl, and she came out after a long time, still holding the pipa half-faced. This is a famous singing girl in the capital. Her hometown is in the southeast of Chang'an. She has learned the pipa at the age of 13. Skills, the name is listed in the first team of the Jiaofang Orchestra. Once the rich and powerful children of Kyoto rushed to show their talents, they were very popular, but they gradually aged and faded. Paying more attention to profit than love, often parting, leaving her alone in Jiangkou to guard the empty ship...
A frustrated official, listening to an old and lost businessman's wife playing the lonely pipa, his green shirt is wet with tears,

The same people from the end of the world, why do they know each other when they meet.

a long time.

Li Shimin clapped his hands in admiration. Compared with his poem just now, there is a huge difference, especially this poem has a story, more emotion, and deep meaning.

"Unexpectedly, Huaiyu not only wrote heroic frontier poems, but also a pipa song. It's a good poem."

The emperor asked the pipa girl to pour Huaiyu a glass of wine.

"Is Xu Jingzong still serving as the magistrate of Xunyang County?" The emperor seemed to have long forgotten the former bachelor of Qin Palace.

"Yes, he is still the magistrate of Xunyang County." Huaiyu replied. He specifically mentioned Xu Jingzong when he told the story just now, and he also intended to give Lao Xu a hand. Lao Xu is still a good person, although there are many Contradictory, but I have the ability, and the relationship with myself is not bad.

The emperor pondered for a while, thinking of Xu Jingzong's past experience, a very talented child of a family, but not stable enough.

But listening to that poem, the emperor also substituted the green shirt Sima into Xu Jingzong, and felt that this guy was a bit pitiful.

He was originally a bachelor of the Prince of Qin's Mansion and a general manager, but now he has been reduced to the magistrate of Xunyang County.

"Miss Wen, draw up an edict for me, order Xu Jingzong to return to the court, give it to Shizhong, and also study national history."

In the matter, he is a provincial and important post, a fifth-rank post, and he is also studying national history.

Li Shimin pointed to the pipa girl who poured wine for Huaiyu, "Do you know the identity of this girl?"

"She was originally a merchant's wife. Li Yuan was greedy for her beauty, killed her husband, and took her as a concubine. Li Yuan was killed for treason and rewarded to Wang Junkuo. Wang Junkuo was punished for treason and rewarded to Huaiyu. , I heard that she plays the pipa very well, so I asked Huaiyu for it."

"This pipa is truly unparalleled."

Attendant Wang Gui got up and asked the emperor, "Does your Majesty think Li Yuan's actions are right or wrong?"

"It's wrong to kill and take your wife."

Wang Gui said again, "Duke Huan of Qi once knew that Duke Huan of Guo died because Duke Huan of Qi liked to listen to good words but didn't use them, and Duke Huan of Qi himself didn't like to hear good words. Guan Zhong thought that there was no difference between Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Guo.

Your Majesty said that it was wrong for Li Yuan to kill his husband and take his wife, but now he deliberately took her from Wu Huaiyu and kept her by his side to serve him. I feel that His Majesty thinks that Li Yuan is right in his heart, otherwise if he thinks he is wrong, then Why not fix the bug?

This pipa girl is so innocent, because of her beauty, her husband was killed and she was taken away, and now she is reduced to a slave. "

"If Your Majesty is holy, then Li Yuan's mistakes should be corrected and justice should be given to this woman. Although her husband died and could not be brought back to life, his identity should be restored and let him go home instead of making him a slave Stay in the palace."

What Li Shimin said was a little speechless, and even a little disappointed.

But there was no way to refute, after all, Wang Gui's mouth was very powerful.

At this time, Wei Zheng also followed immediately, citing scriptures and allusions, using the past to explain the present, thinking that Li Shimin's behavior was very wrong.

Li Shimin's face darkened.

But he couldn't be shameless and play rogue, although he felt that this matter was Li Yuan's problem, this pipa girl was snatched by Li Yuan and became Li Yuan's concubine, Li Yuan rebelled, her family members were not slaves, this is the law, So it's okay for the pipa girl to be rewarded to Wang Junkuo. Wang Junkuo rebelled, and she was not enslaved, so it's okay to reward Huaiyu.

It is no problem for the emperor to ask his courtiers for a slave.

But he couldn't say no to Wang Gui and Wei Zheng.

He wants more of a good name.

Li Shimin had no choice but to ask Pei Yunu, "I let you go home, you are willing."

Pei Yunu said, "This servant has no relatives and no home to return to."

Li Shimin wanted to stay, but Wang Gui and Wei Zheng didn't agree, thinking that the emperor made a mistake if he stayed.

Even if you have no relatives, you should still be free.

Originally, he wanted to show off his newly acquired pipa beauty to his courtiers, and even took the opportunity to demote Li Yuan and other rebellious officials and thieves.

resignedly.

He had no choice but to name Wu Huaiyu.

"Duke Yi took her back and settled her properly."

Huaiyu didn't expect that this would become a hot potato.

Going up to get the decree and asking her what she wanted, Huaiyu planned to go to the Yamen to register her household registration, and then give her a sum of money to arrange a place for her.

Pei Yunu was at a loss.

She is very young, although she learned the skill of pipa from a famous teacher when she was ten years old, but later her family received a large gift from a businessman and married a businessman as his wife. , and now there is no one in her natal family, nor in her husband's family.

If I go out, I really don't know what I will do for a living in the future.

"Your Majesty, this servant wants to stay in Duke Yi's mansion." She suddenly made an unexpected request.

Li Shimin looked at the pipa girl, then at Wu Huaiyu, then at Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and others,

"Then I restore your beloved status and let Wu Huaiyu accept you as a concubine, are you willing?"

"I am willing!"

"Huaiyu, would you like it?"

Huaiyu didn't expect it, and went round and round, and came here again.

Looking at the emperor, then looking at Wang Gui and the others, it is estimated that it is impossible for the emperor to keep the pipa girl in the palace. Even if she is restored to her beloved status and then brought into the palace, Wang Gui and the others will not agree.

Li Shimin has a good face, and he probably doesn't want to force this stain.

Giving it to Huaiyu now will get rid of this trouble, anyway, there are many beauties in the world.

Of course, this was also Pipa girl's own idea, and Wang Gui and the others couldn't object. After all, a weak woman was homeless, and it was not easy for her to survive outside. Being Huaiyu's concubine was also a good destination.

They can't ignore the life and death of others.

That's it.

Originally the emperor was in a good mood today, listening to the pipa music and waiting for the ministers to come to discuss matters, but now he was in no mood, so he got up and left immediately, and today's court meeting was cancelled.

It is estimated that Li Shimin now regrets worshiping Wang Gui, the servant of the Huangmen, as his minister. Wei Zheng is enough for him, but now he is Wang Gui, two prime ministers who talk about it, it is difficult to parry.
