Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Understood, I understand." Li Zhen expressed his understanding that Li Yuan has not been happy these years—he also can't be happy. The country he worked so hard to build has not sat for a few days before being pushed away by his son's coup d'état. After going on, even his most beloved son was killed, leaving him alone, as desolate as he could be. It is estimated that the reason why Li Yuan worked so hard to create a human being in Da'an Palace was probably just to paralyze him. yourself.

Chapter 48 Li Yuan

Chapter 46 Li Yuan

In the early morning of the next day, Li Zhen cleaned herself up neatly, and then walked into Da'an Palace alone with a large food box of delicious food.

Da'an Palace is also in the imperial palace, located in the west of Miyagi (in 632 AD, the supervisory official Ma Zhoushang told Chen: the elderly Gaozu lived in the narrow Da'an Palace in the west of Miyagi, as evidenced by history (__)), the environment is still It's not bad, although it's a bit out of the way, but it's definitely not narrow, and I don't know what Ma Zhou thought at the time.

At this time the sun had just risen, and the entire palace seemed to have just woken up, and hadn't fully moved yet, but the inside of Da'an Palace was already full of people, shouting and shouting endlessly.

Li Zhen panicked, could it be that his grandpa is still creating humans?But if you listen carefully, it doesn't seem to be the sound of doing that thing, but more like the sound of fighting, and there is a faint sound of applause.

I talked to the guard at the gate, maybe I got the order early, the guard didn't even check the food box, and let Li Zhen in with a smile.

Walking into the Da'an Palace, the shouts became even louder. While waiting for the report, Li Zhen quietly looked into the palace, and was immediately relieved, it turned out to be a wrestling.I saw two healthy women who were stripped down to their cloths standing in the center of the palace, their hands clasped in a stalemate, their veins were exposed, and their bodies were hot and sweaty, even the cloths were soaked in sweat.Around the hall, there are many beauties in gorgeous clothes, cheering non-stop. In the middle sits a 50-[-]-year-old old man with his upper body uncovered. Rubbing his shoulders, the other sat directly in the arms of the old man, peeled the grapes with his hands, and fed them to the old man's mouth one by one.

Seeing this posture, why doesn't Li Zhen know the identity of the old man?

"Grandson has met Grandpa Huang. May Grandpa Huang enjoy immortal blessings forever." Li still wants to see Li Zhen. After seeing Li Zhen, she quietly raised her head and looked at Li Yuan. People are completely old, their skin is sagging, their faces are full of wrinkles, and they are always exuding old age, but the so-called tiger never falls, after all, he has been a king, although his ambition is no longer, but the aura of majesty has not dissipated at all .

"Well, Xiao Ba is here?" Li Yuan half-opened his squinted eyes, waved his hand to stop the fighting, and then glanced at the food box in Li Zhen's hand: "I heard that you had an adventure and learned a lot of new things Son, maybe let Grandpa Huang see what is so great about it?"

"It's natural." Li Zhen handed the food box to the waiter, and said to herself: "Aside from other things, at least the things in this food box can make you, Grandpa, miss you forever."

"Nonsense, your grandpa, I have fought all my life. What good things have I not seen? What delicious food have I not tasted? I have never seen any food that I can't forget. How dare you, a little naughty boy, make such wild words? It's time to fight." Li Yuan felt that Li Zhen's words were a little crazy, and he really underestimated the people in the world.

"Facts speak louder than words, Grandpa Huang will know after a taste." A hundred words are not worth a single practice, no amount of words is useless, let's just talk about it.

"That's fine. Grandpa Huang will try this delicacy that I will never forget for the rest of my life." Just at this time, the waiter had already prepared the dishes, and Li Yuan started directly and took out a large piece of stewed meat from the plate: "Well, This meat looks pretty good, but I don’t know how it tastes like?”

"Grandfather, just taste it."

"Could this meat really be so delicious?" Seeing Li Zhen's confident face, Li Yuan didn't seem to be talking big, and couldn't help but start to mutter in his heart, but he unconsciously put the stewed meat into his mouth. Take a bite.Immediately, a strong and rich taste exploded in his mouth. The rotten boiled meat and the rich gravy directly hit his taste buds, allowing Li Yuan's tongue to enjoy the impact of later generations of food for the first time.Under the order of the brain, Li Yuan's teeth were chewing almost at a flying speed, and soon a large piece of stewed meat was wiped out by Li Yuan alone.

"Why is there only one piece?" After eating the stewed meat, Li Yuan wanted to get it again, but found that there was only one piece of stewed meat on the whole plate. The meat was eaten by himself, and there was only some juice left on the plate.

Li Yuan was immediately dissatisfied, and scolded: "Little Ba, you are so stingy, you only take a piece of meat to respect Grandpa Huang? Are you afraid that Grandpa Huang will eat you poor?"

"Um, grandpa, please calm down. Braised pork is too fatty. Eating too much is bad for your health." Being called Xiaoba, Li Zhen felt uncomfortable. He would always think of the octopus man in "One Piece" .

"Nonsense, when Grandpa Huang was fighting in the past, he used to eat a bucket of rice and ten catties of meat, and he didn't see any problems with his health?" Li Yuan didn't believe it when he heard the words.

"Can your current body be compared to before? You used to fight every day, and all the meat you ate was absorbed by your body. Now, at most, you can only absorb [-]% of it? The rest has become fat." Li Zhen complained in her heart. Of course, he would never dare to say this in front of Li Yuan. You must know that some old people hate others to say that they are old, especially those who used to be in high positions. There is no doubt that Li Yuan is the representative of such people.

"Uh, grandpa, the other dishes are actually pretty good too." Not wanting to waste too much time on braised pork, Li Zhen picked up a plate of fried bean sprouts (made by herself, there was no such thing in the Tang Dynasty): "Grandfather, try it Try this fried bean sprouts, which my grandson just made yesterday, and no one has ever tasted it except my grandson himself."

"Well, it's hot and sour, but it's refreshing and appetizing." Li Yuan took a sip and was very satisfied. He kept admiring while eating.

Li Zhen estimated that what really satisfied Li Yuan was not the dish of fried bean sprouts, but more because he was the first person to eat this dish—so he had to pay attention to skill when speaking, Li Yuan was once a generation of emperors, All the good things in this world are his first to enjoy.Now that he has abdicated, although Li Shimin is still filial to him, the emperor's dignity is gone, and he is still confined, and can only paralyze himself by making people all day long.

Now Li Zhen honors him with a delicacy that no one else has eaten. Although it is only a small matter, it is extremely precious to Li Yuan who has not received such treatment for a long time.

Sure enough, Li Yuan didn't care about other dishes at all, he just kept chopsticks on the fried bean sprouts, and quickly ate up a plate of fried bean sprouts: "Okay, I'm full, Zhen'er, are you really hungry?" I am determined, Grandpa Huang likes it very much, today is the happiest day of Grandpa Huang. You, go and bring me the little box next to my bed."

"Yes!" A beautiful woman who could hit ninety points respectfully replied and left, and soon came back with a small sandalwood box.

Chapter 49

Chapter 47 Wrench

"Open it and have a look." Li Yuan handed the box to Li Zhen.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang." Li Zhen was not pretentious either, it was the right thing for grandsons to take things from grandpa.

"Is this a wrench?" After opening the box, there was only a dark yellow wrench that came into view. The inner and outer sides had been covered with thick patina, which was obviously used frequently.Li Zhen didn't do much research on the fingers, and couldn't figure out what material it was made of, but it was very light, and it should be made of bones or animal horns.

"That's right, it's the finger puller. Our family started with martial arts in the Tang Dynasty. Li Jiaerlang must not forget to ride and shoot at all times. This is also an ancestor's instruction. This finger puller was passed down by the ancestors of Xuan Shenggong. The emperor gave it to you today as a warning. Don't you forget the foundation of your own life because you have the inheritance of the immortal, it can be regarded as a lesson for you." Li Yuan looked at the finger, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

"This is such a precious treasure, it's not suitable for grandchildren, Grandpa Huang?" Li Zhen was also taken aback, and quickly stuffed the wrench to Li Yuan. He never thought that this wrench would have such a big background.

Others may not know who that Duke Xuan Sheng is, but as the son of the Li family, how could Li Zhen not remember the name of his ancestor?

Li Hao (hào), with the style name Xuansheng and small style name Changsheng, was born in Chengji, Longxi (now Qin'an, Gansu). He claimed to be the sixteenth grandson of Li Guang, a general of the Western Han Dynasty, and the founder of the Xiliang regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

In the first year of Long'an (397), Duan Ye claimed to be the shepherd of Liangzhou, took Li Hao as the magistrate of Xiaogu County, and was later promoted to be the prefect of Dunhuang.In the fourth year of Long'an, Li Hao claimed to be a general, a lieutenant protecting the Qiang, a shepherd of the two prefectures of Qin and Liang, and a duke of Liang.In the first year of Yixi (405), it was changed to the beginning of Yuan and Jianchu, and envoys were sent to Fengbiao to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the capital was moved to Jiuquan to fight against Beiliang for a long time.

In the 13th year of Yixi (417), Li Hao died at the age of 67. He was buried in Jianshi Mausoleum with the posthumous title of King Wu Zhao and the temple name of Taizu.The Li family of the Tang Dynasty also called Li Hao their ancestor, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty honored him as Emperor Xingsheng in the second year of Tianbao (753).

That is to say, Li Hao is the chief ancestor of all the clans surnamed Li in the Tang Dynasty, and this finger ring is actually a treasure handed down by Li Hao.

The reason why Li Zhen did not dare to accept the ring is precisely because of this reason. A ring that has been passed down for hundreds of years is already considered a family heirloom of the Li family. Such treasures should generally be inherited by the patriarch.Even if Li Yuan didn't inherit it to Li Shimin because of the Xuanwu Gate incident, at least he would have to give it to the future prince, right?What does give yourself mean?Could it be that he saw his plan and was testing himself with this wrench?Shouldn't it?

"What's inappropriate?" Li Yuan stuffed the wrench into Li Zhen's hand: "To put it bluntly, it's just a wrench. It's not as serious as you think. You can take it if you give it to you. In other words, there are all kinds of things in your little brain." What are you thinking? Where does a child who is only three years old come up with so many messy thoughts? Sitting with you, Grandpa Huang is like communicating with someone of the same age. He does not have the innocence and innocence of a three-year-old child at all. Well, it's boring."

"This grandson is young and mature." Facing this question, Li Zhen is also embarrassing, can she still tell you that the child in front of you hides a soul in his 20s?

"Pfft!" Li Yuan was drinking water, but upon hearing this, he immediately spewed out a mouthful of tea, and the milky white tea foam sprayed everywhere, and several concubines were all hit by the trick, causing them to shout coquettishly.

Li Yuan ignored the coquettish calls of the concubines, pointed at Li Zhen with one hand, and said with a big laugh, "Young and mature? You're just a little brat and you're still young? Oops, I really laughed to death, hahaha"

"Thank you, Grandpa, for the reward." Li Zhen planned to ignore Li Yuan's ridicule, and found a rope to hang the wrench around his neck. His hands were too small, so he couldn't wear it now.

"Okay, you haven't seen your bedroom yet, I have already arranged it for you, and someone will take you to see it." The imperial decree clearly stated that Li Zhen was ordered to move into Da'an Palace to accompany the Supreme Emperor, so Said that Li Zhen needs to live in Da'an Palace for a period of time, Li Yuan has already arranged the bedroom for him.

"Grandson obeys the order, grandson will leave." Li Zhen saluted respectfully, and then left the palace with a healthy woman.

In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Fuzi came to Li Zhen with a lot of things: "Your Highness, except for the last one which is troublesome and needs to wait until tomorrow, the rest are here."

"Well, it's okay." Li Zhen checked it a little bit. These things are all 'toys' that Li Zhen thought up for Li Yuan. The reason why Li Yuan focused on making children was not only to paralyze himself, but also for another reason. That's—it's too boring. An ancient man was imprisoned in a small world. What else could he do except make children?

What Li Zhen arranged for Xiao Fuzi to make were some leisure toys. Although they were only leisure toys, they were still very advanced in the Tang Dynasty, and they were just right for Li Yuan to play with.

After having breakfast with Li Yuan, Li Zhen took out a small box.

"Xiao Ba, what is this?" Li Yuan naturally knew that Xiao Fuzi met Li Zhen, but he really didn't know what was given to him.

"Grandpa Huang rewarded his grandson with a treasure yesterday, and grandson felt ashamed. It just so happened that the child's custom-made item arrived, so let's give it to Grandpa Huang as a thank you." Li Zhen opened the box and saw a thick stack of treasures in the box. There are about forty or fifty pieces of bamboo, each of which is the size of a palm, but is the same size and as thin as paper. There are also various exquisite patterns painted on it, which looks quite delicate.

"What is this for? Explain it to Grandpa Huang." Li Yuan had a premonition that this thing should be very interesting, so he hurriedly urged Li Zhen to explain it quickly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, this thing is still very easy to learn." Li Zhen spread out all the bamboo pieces and explained: "This thing is called cards, also called playing cards, and it is a game that at least three people need to play together. Toy, very fun. There are 54 cards in a deck of poker, which are divided into four suits: spades, hearts, clubs, and squares. Each suit has one card from one to thirteen, except for these 52 cards. In addition to the cards of the suit, there are two other decks, called the big ghost and the little ghost, this is the introduction of all the cards of poker."

The first toy that Li Zhen took out was playing cards. There was originally mahjong, but the making of mahjong was too troublesome, and it has not been finished yet, so it can only be done tomorrow.

As for why playing cards are made of bamboo chips?You think Li Zhen is willing, but the quality of paper these days is either ridiculously good or ridiculously poor, just like rice paper and bamboo paper, the quality of rice paper is very good, but the rice paper is too soft to be used as playing cards, even if Bamboo paper is just the opposite. Bamboo paper is too hard, like a biscuit, it will break if you break it, and it can’t be used as a poker card. In the end, Li Zhensi only had special treatment. Bamboo slices can temporarily take on this important task.
