Wentang

Chapter 672
When she woke up the next morning, Li Lizhi looked much better and her body temperature dropped. Sun Simiao announced that she was out of danger after diagnosis.

But she can't be careless, she is already weak, and having such a serious illness consumes her insufficient vitality, and the illness may relapse at any time.It will take a long time to take care of it quietly.

When Li Shimin heard this, he made a decision on the spot. From now on, Yue Shan only needs to go to the yamen to handle official business every day. He doesn't need to work all day long, and he can spend his spare time at home with his precious daughter.

Before Yue Shan could speak, Li Lizhi couldn't wait to thank her, this order was just too much for her.

After that, Li Shimin and his grandson Wugou left together, and Sun Simiao also left a new prescription and went back.

A small turmoil caused by Li Lizhi's illness has finally subsided, but the excitement caused by it has just begun.

As apprentices, Li Ke, Feng Yi, and Chen Zhong naturally wanted to come to express their filial piety, so they brought gifts together to visit the teacher's wife.Well, Li Ke also came to visit the girl.

Feng Yi and Chen Zhong lived up to his expectations, and both won the Beijing Examination this year and became Jinshi.

There will be half a year's vacation after the election to deal with private affairs, and the work will be uniformly assigned after half a year. At this time, they are still alone.

It's just that Chen Zhong's leisure is temporary, and when he is appointed, he will go to work, and Feng Yi will completely let himself go.

He has proved his talent through the imperial examination, and no one dared to laugh at him after he gave up being an official.On the contrary, many people praised him as Xie Lingyun and Tao Yuanming.

His parents are naturally very unhappy about this, but there is nothing they can do about this son, they can only practice trumpet by cursing.

Li Ke can finally learn the art of war that interests him.Blood relationship is still the closest bond. If the imperial court decides to participate in the hegemony of the whole world, it will inevitably reuse the clan. Li Xiaogong's recovery is proof.

As Li Shimin's flesh and blood and Li Chengqian's brother, Li Ke's living space is much larger than before, and he also has the opportunity to display his talents and ambitions.

Yue Shan spoke in person, and Li Daozong enrolled him to learn the art of war without saying a word.

After Li Shimin knew about this, he rewarded Concubine Yang with a lot of silk and satin, and also gave him a good horse.When Li Chengqian found out, he personally hosted a banquet for the brother and gave him a treasured sword.

These two have shown their attitudes with practical actions, and the others will naturally not make fun of themselves.

Concubine Yang was naturally grateful to Yue Shan, and she made a suit of clothes to express her gratitude.

The achievement of the three people's wishes can be regarded as the completion of spiritual transformation. Although the surface does not seem to have changed, their temperament has become more calm and stable than before.

……

Of course, Liu Rengui, who was far away in Dizhou, couldn't come, but his wife who stayed in Beijing also visited him on his behalf.

Wu Chang is pregnant with Liujia and it is inconvenient to have contact with typhoid patients. In case of infection, no one can afford the consequences, so Prince Li Chengqian visits on his behalf.

After meeting Li Lizhi, Yue Shan and Li Chengqian came to the next door to talk together.

"Is your foot so thorough?" Yue Shan said.

When mentioning his foot injury, Li Chengqian couldn't hide his joy and said: "It's completely healed. Mr. Hong said that he can be like ordinary people in the future. Normal fitness is no problem, as long as he doesn't exercise strenuously."

"I would also like to thank the teacher. Without you, I would not have escaped the fate of being lame."

The stability of Tang Guozuo no longer requires the king to go into battle to kill the enemy, and as the crown prince, he does not need to do heavy physical work, and strenuous exercise can be completely avoided, so this sequelae is equivalent to no.

So no one took this sequelae to heart, and they all celebrated that his foot disease was cured and he was free from lameness.Many literati even think that this is an advantage. It is good for the monarch to rule by hanging down, but it is not good to be too lively and escape.

"What are my family members doing so politely? As long as it's done, everyone can rest assured." Yue Shan said modestly, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

Li Chengqian's expression became serious, and he said, "After Chang'er gives birth, I plan to invite myself to work in Lianghu Road. Teacher, what do you think?"

"That's right." Yue Shan said in a serious tone, "The Supreme Emperor, the sage has no constraints behind him. There will definitely be a lot of big moves next year. You can just go there to avoid this vortex."

Li Chengqian said in surprise: "What kind of big move caused such a storm that even I have to avoid it?"

Yue Shan shook his head and said, "It's not dangerous, but it will definitely cause criticism, and even make the saint bear a certain amount of infamy. You are now in the period of looking after you, so it's best not to get involved."

Li Chengqian vetoed it flatly: "How can it be done, as a son of man, how can I stay out of it at this time. No, I want to stay and fight side by side with my father."

Yue Shan laughed and said, "What are you thinking? If there is any danger, the sage will rest assured that you will leave? This turmoil is more of an ideological one. We are going to dig a hole to bury some of the pedantic sects."

"Those people won't accept the reality honestly, and they will definitely be dying. But no matter how hard the grasshoppers jump after autumn, it's just a bunch of rotten wood, not worth mentioning."

"However, as a literati, killing other literati will inevitably cause criticism, and it will also affect the posthumous reputation. Emperor Shi Huang unified the weights and measures in Tongguan Shutongwen, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism. They created great achievements for thousands of years, but they were all slandered by literati .”

"What the sage is going to do this time is similar to them. It is a great event to create a great career, but it will inevitably be slandered by people."

"But we can't really physically destroy the remnants of the old era. If we push them into a hurry, they might do something. At this time, you need to clean up the mess."

"Me?" Li Chengqian asked in surprise, "How should I do it?"

"You are the crown prince, the prince of the country, and the future king. As long as you are not in the capital and have not participated in this matter, you can give those old people a thought. Maybe they will wait for you to ascend the throne, and then they I can recover." Yue Shan smiled lightly and said:

"If you are willing to say a few words for them, they will regard you as a savior. With thoughts in your heart, these people will not go to extremes, let time slowly wear away the traces of their existence, and silently kill them sent to the grave of history."

"In this way, you can also leave a good reputation for being tolerant. When you ascend the throne in the future, you don't have to worry about the dissatisfaction of the people below, and you can take charge of Datang smoothly."

"Why not do such a thing that kills two birds with one stone. So you must leave Beijing early next year."

"This..." Li Chengqian didn't expect that there were so many calculations involved, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Yue Shan knew what the problem was, and seeing his puzzled look, he said: "Filial piety is the foundation of all good deeds. The sage uses his reputation to support you. You, a son, can't help but express it? In short, four words: Father is kind, son is filial. .How to do it is up to you to figure it out.”

Father is kind and son is filial?Li Chengqian seemed to have realized something, but for a while he didn't know what he should do to show his father's kindness and son's filial piety.

Leave?no.go directly?It doesn't work either.What should I do?

With this doubt, he returned to the East Palace.

Naturally, Wu Chang couldn't hide his concern, so she waved back the waiter and asked, "Didn't Mr. Lang go to visit Mrs. Mistress? Why is he frowning? But where is the problem with Master?"

Li Chengqian repeated what Yue Shan had said to him, and said distressedly: "But I really don't know how to show the kindness of a father and the filial piety of his son."

"Haha..." Wu Chang laughed loudly.

"Didn't you see that I'm bothered? Still laughing, still laughing..." Li Chengqian pretended to be angry.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore." He stopped laughing, but it took a while before he stopped, and then he said seriously: "I'll ask you a few questions, sir."

"Ask." Li Chengqian said angrily.

Wu Chang almost laughed again, pursed his lips, and said, "Is the saint's love for you real or fake? Is your filial piety to the saint genuine?"

Li Chengqian looked serious, and said: "Of course my father really loves me, and I also sincerely obey my father and mother. Don't say such things in the future."

Wu Chang explained unhurriedly: "Naturally, I will not doubt the father-son relationship between the sage and the gentleman, but I want to tell you, since you are truly loving fathers and filial sons, why do you need to do something deliberately?"

"Just do it according to your original heart. Think about it, what did you want to do most when Master just told you this news, and just do it according to that thought."

Li Chengqian said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Wu Chang smiled and said, "Don't be too serious between husband and wife."

Li Chengqian said in distress: "When the teacher told me about this, the first thing I thought of was to tell my father that I wanted to stay. But the teacher said that I must go..."

Wu Changdao: "You go to the sage, there is no conflict with your going to Lianghu Road. Master said in "Education" that love needs to be expressed, and it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings if you keep it in your heart. This is true between friends, between father and son.”

"What you need to do is tell the sage your true thoughts, let him feel your filial piety, and make him feel that everything he has done is worthwhile. I think that's what Master means."

Li Chengqian suddenly realized, excitedly kissed Wu Chang's cheek, and said: "So it is, so it is, I know what to do, Chang'er is really my good wife."

……

After the disciples came, allies Jing Junhong, Kong Yingda, Ning Chun, Yu Kexun, Ma Zhou, Sun Fujia and others came to visit one after another.

Generally, the family members of the rich and powerful who have good friends or children who are seriously ill will go to visit.This time several people came to visit in person, on the one hand to express their recognition of the leading position of Yue Shan, an ally, and on the other hand to exchange information.

Yue Shan communicated with everyone, revealing part of the future plans of the imperial court, so that they could prepare in advance, lest ignorance be a hindrance.

Then there are the dignitaries with better relationships, Qin Qiong's family, Yuchi's family, Dugu Yanyun's family, the eldest grandson's family, and some clans also sent their family members to visit.

Dugu Yanyun is the leading general of the left and right guards, one of the generals of the sixteen guards guarding Chang'an, it is not suitable for him to get too close to the powerful, so it was his wife who came over.

The one who came to Qin Qiong's house was his wife, Qin Jia, and her son, Qin Huaidao, who was gifted with the Longevity Lock by Yue Shan back then.

The one who came to Yuchi's house was Yuchi Baolin's wife, who was beating Turkic dogs in the grassland. The relationship between Yuchi Gong and Yue Shan can only be said to be average, and only his wife can come here.

The grandson's family came from Changsun Chong and his new wife, Princess Runan.

It was only when he saw Princess Runan that Yue Shan remembered that in history, she seemed to have contracted a serious illness after guarding the spirit of the eldest grandson Wugou, and finally died. This time guarding the spirit of Li Yuan, I don't know if she took good care of herself.

So I asked around, and the result was that she fell ill after guarding Li Yuan's spirit for a week.Although she was not seriously ill, Li Shimin still allowed her not to kneel in front of the coffin, as long as she went to see her every day.

Yue Shan was also quite surprised, he was so lucky that he escaped a greater danger with a minor illness.

……

Some officials who wanted to curry favor with him also took this opportunity to visit, but they were all rejected by him, and they were not even allowed to enter the door.

Just when he thought he could finally calm down, two unexpected people sent two gifts from the palace.

Yue Shan and Li Lizhi looked at the two horses of silk on the table and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although silk and satin are valuable, they are too crude compared to gifts from other people, and they are not in line with the identity of the gift giver.

But what surprises them is not the thinness of the gift, but the person who gave it.

It took a while for Yue Shan to ask: "Are you familiar with that Concubine Wei and the younger sister named Li Yi?"

Li Lizhi shook her head in embarrassment and said, "Father has many concubines and children, some of which I have only heard of but never seen."

There is another sentence that she is not ashamed to say, that is, there are some things she has never even heard of, such as this sister named Li Yi.

"That's strange, why did they give you a gift. Just give it away, and there are only two pieces of silk and satin as a gift." Yue Shan said doubtfully.

No wonder he asked this question, someone in Li Lizhi's sick palace did indeed send something.But the sender either has a good relationship with Li Lizhi or has a good relationship with Yue Shan.Concubine Yang, for example, sent a lot of gifts to others.

But Concubine Wei and Li Yi are not familiar with each other.

Besides, she was sick and not giving birth to a child. At this time, the gifts were expensive supplements or something. If it was not possible, she would send some snacks made by herself to express her affection. It was very inappropriate to send silk and satin.

The key is that there are only two horses, one for each person on average.If the relatively rare Shu brocade is still passable, but this silk and satin is just a common variety.

If they are not sincere, what are they trying to send out from the palace?To say it was sincere, this gift was extremely inappropriate and too thin.

What do Concubine Wei and Princess Li Yi mean?
I don't understand.

"Huh..." Yue Shan suddenly noticed something unusual, and holding the famous thorn, he cried out in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Li Lizhi asked hastily.

"Look at the name 'Li Yi' directly used on this famous thorn." Yue Shan pointed to the list and said.

"Hey, it's true. Why did she use her real name? Could it be that she hasn't been canonized yet?" Li Lizhi was also surprised.

Why are the two surprised by a title?

In ancient times, a woman's name was also a part of privacy and could not be easily told to others.Children of the royal family like them usually call themselves by their titles, and they don't directly say their real names.

For example, when Li Lizhi wrote letters to others, she would call herself Changle.But this Princess Li Yi directly used her real name.

The more I look at Yue Shan, the more abnormal I feel.

"Should I let Qiu'er go to the palace and ask?" Li Lizhi couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up and said directly.

"Alright, don't accept gifts in a daze. Let Xiangning inquire, she has a wider network than Qiu'er." Yue Shan nodded.

Then he called Xiang Ning over and asked her to find out who Concubine Wei and Princess Li Yi were.
