Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Your Highness is polite." Xiao Yu hurriedly returned the salute, and then returned to the state of watching his eyes, nose, nose and heart.

"This is Gao Shilian, Duke of Yixing County (not named Duke Xu), you should know him." After introducing Xiao Yu, Li Yuan went on to introduce the second long-bearded old man.

"I've met my uncle." He was also a master, and he really had a close relationship with Li Zhen - this guy was the uncle of Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji.

Gao Shilian, whose first name is Jian, whose style name is Shilian, is a native of Bohai County (now Jingxian County, Hebei Province).

In his early years, Gao Shilian was the governor of the Sui Dynasty. Because he was implicated in the government of Husi, he was demoted to be Zhu Yuan's chief secretary, and was appointed as judicial secretary by Jiaozhi prefect Qiuhe.In the fifth year of Wude, Gao Shilian returned to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the Zhizhong of Yongzhou. Later, he assisted Li Shimin in launching the Xuanwu Gate Change, was promoted to Shizhong, and was granted the title of Duke of Yixing County.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, Gao Shilian was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he was granted the title of Xu Guogong.Later, he was ordered to compile "Clan Chronicles", and was awarded the third rank of Tongzhong Shumenxia.In the 12th year of Zhenguan, he was renamed Shen Guogong, hereditary governor of Shenzhou, and soon promoted to Shangshu Youpushe.In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Gao Shilian served as the prince's Taifu and assisted the crown prince in supervising the country.

"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, don't need to be too polite." Gao Shilian's expression became a lot colder, and he was not very close to Li Zhen. As for the reason, Li Zhen knew it without guessing. Li Zhen's light was covered by Li Zhen. As Li Chengqian's uncle and master, it's no wonder that Gao Shilian had a good impression of Li Zhen?

"You know this last one too, so you don't need Grandpa Huang to introduce you."

"I've seen Uncle Huang." The last one should be the youngest one besides Li Zhen, at least her hair is still black, and she looks like she is in her 40s.

This man is none other than Li Xiaogong, the rare general in the Tang clan, Prince of Hejian County.According to their seniority, Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin are cousins, so Li Zhen's calling him uncle could not be more appropriate.

Li Xiaogong, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty clan.Great-grandson of Li Hu, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty and Northern Zhou Dynasty, grandson of Li Wei, governor of Shuozhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, son of Li An, the right-leading general of the Sui Dynasty, and nephew of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of King Zhaojun.

In the second year of Wude, he served as the general manager of Xinzhou. In the following year, he offered advice and led an army to attack Xiao Xian in the south.

In the sixth year of Wude, he led an army to attack Fugong Er, and took one year to pacify the south of the Yangtze River. He paid homage to the governor of Yangzhou for his meritorious service.After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was promoted to Minister of Rites and changed to Hejian County King.

"Xiaoba is free." Li Xiaogong was the one who was most enthusiastic about Li Zhen among the three, seeing Li Zhen salute, he quickly supported him.

"Okay, we're not our own people, so don't make these extravagant gifts. Zhen'er, take out any treasures in your box." After the introduction, Li Yuan turned his eyes to Li Zhen's box, telling Li Yuan about his hidden foodie attributes. , this box should be delicious.

"Yes." Li Zhen opened the box, revealing the colorful candies inside: "This is a candy made after my child asked the craftsmen to improve the craftsmanship. It took a lot of money during the period, and today it is considered a success. I invite the emperor to taste it."

These candies were brought into the palace by Tangzhuang early in the morning, just a little, and Li Zhen took them all out.

"Candy? I'll try it." Li Yuanxin picked up a piece of pink and put it in his mouth, his eyes narrowed immediately: "Well, it's not bad, it tastes like watermelon, it's not bad, everyone should try it."

"Yes, thank you, the Supreme Emperor." With Li Yuan's permission, everyone tasted it one after another.

In fact, they were also very surprised. Everyone has eaten candies, but the candies are all white and black, or yellow or yellow, and the colors are very ugly. How can they be as colorful as the candies in front of them?

The color alone has already attracted so many people, and the candies with various fruit flavors instantly conquered everyone's hearts, so a group of old guys directly forgot about Li Zhen who was next to them, and in the sound of "click click" (Li Zhen Zhen didn’t have the technology to make soft candies, so these fruit candies are all hard candies), she shamelessly wiped out a box of nearly a hundred candies, while poor Li Zhen only grabbed less than five candies (/( ㄒo ㄒ)/~~)

Chapter 73 Three Imperial Edicts

Chapter 2 The Three Edicts

On the third day, the first batch of furniture for Tian Workshop was also ready. Li Zhen specially picked the best set for Li Yuan. Li Yuan was really happy, and spent the whole day on the new furniture, not even playing mahjong. up.

The days that followed were back on track, and Li Yuan was coaxed by Li Zhen's endless stream of gadgets and games, making him happy all day long.The whole day is either playing mahjong, fighting the landlords, or playing dominoes. When I feel bored sitting around, I go out to play table tennis for a while. A special kind of gum was found in the market. After the gum is specially treated and hardened, the elasticity of the ball made is no worse than that of a table tennis ball.So Li Zhen used this kind of gum ball instead of ping-pong balls, and made out both ping-pong balls and tennis balls (in fact, the difference in rules between table tennis and tennis balls is very small, but one is on the stage and the other is on the field).

After clearing out Li Zhen's inventory, Li Yuan kicked Li Zhen out of the Da'an Palace, bluntly saying, "Go where it came from, don't hinder your grandfather's fight against the landlord."

Feeling abandoned, Li Zhen, after consulting Li Shimin's opinion, had no choice but to salute and return to her residence. Originally, Li Zhen wanted to seek comfort from Concubine Yan, but as soon as she arrived at Concubine Yan's bedroom, she was forced to marry her eldest grandson. Concubine Yan who was playing badminton was kicked out, making Li Zhen even more disappointed.

Badminton was made together with table tennis and tennis balls, and it was also deeply loved by Li Yuan, and it quickly spread throughout the palace, and recently it even gradually spread outside the palace.

It is said that these things made by Li Zhen are really popular. Not only are they popular in the palace, but they are also warmly welcomed by the people outside the palace.The earliest poker game has even spread out of Chang'an City, and people in Yangzhou have started playing it. This is what Yan Jingsi told Li Zhen.There are even shops specializing in the production and sale of exquisite poker outside. It is said that the business is very hot and the supply exceeds the demand.

In the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, because the war had just ended, the civil governance at this time was not considered successful, and the people basically did not have too many entertainment activities.The only recreational activity is polo, but polo requires too much space and a large number of people, and it requires knights who are really proficient in riding skills to play well. Ordinary people run around all day for their livelihood, so how can they have time to practice? Riding?More people still choose to watch the polo match, cheering and cheering on the sidelines.It's just that polo games don't happen often. In the days when there are no games, the lives of the people are very dull.

Well now, Li Zhen brought them so many games and toys at one time, the people of Tang Dynasty were really happy and welcomed them.Especially mahjong, the quintessence of the country is the quintessence of the country after all, even if it appeared hundreds of years earlier, it is still quickly accepted by everyone and quickly flourished.Today's Chang'an at night has been completely covered by the sound of "cracking", which shows the people's love and welcome for mahjong.

Facing the grand occasion created by herself, Li Zhen at this time was a little unhappy, because

It has been more than a month since I walked out of Da'an Palace, and Li Zhen's mood has completely calmed down. Of course, this calm down does not refer to the depression after being rejected, but it was caused by the previous conversation with Li Shimin. In fact, Li Zhen's heart was always tugging, for fear that Li Shimin would say the word "traveler", she was very worried for a while, but after seeing that Li Shimin did not have any abnormal movements, she gradually relaxed. In the past few days, it doesn't matter anymore.

Isn't it?Li Zhen is inviting a few brothers to connect with each other by making skewers. The first-class mutton has just been roasted, and a male duck's voice rang.

"The imperial decree has arrived, and the eighth son of the emperor will accept the decree." Wang Tingchu delivered the decree. The old eunuch's voice was particularly unpleasant, high-pitched and shrill. eardrum.

"Welcome to the imperial decree." Li Zhen quickly took the lead and knelt down, and the other brothers followed behind.

"Following the heavens, the emperor's edict said: The eighth son of the emperor is smart, smart, kind and pure. I am very happy that the land of Guangzhou has outstanding people. I specially changed Guangzhou to Yuezhou. I specially named the eighth son of the emperor as the king of Yue. He lived in the city of a thousand stones and led the Yuezhou University. Commander, hereby!"

Li Zhen originally came from Leizhou, the place Li Zhen wanted, but until one day, he found that Leizhou didn't have a big river?

How can this be?How did you develop industry in ancient times without rivers?

So, through various fabricated myths and legends, Zhen Yuanzi's hometown was changed to Guangzhou (now called Yuezhou) in the Pearl River Basin.

However, Li Zhen was convinced, and the emperor was very self-willed, so he changed his name casually, directly changing Guangzhou to Yuezhou.

—Fuck, that's okay?But if you think about it, it’s nothing. Lingnan originally belonged to the land of Baiyue, so it’s okay to change it to Yuezhou. The problem is what should I do with the original Yuezhou?

Well, this is not what Li Zhen cares about, but——finally, I don’t need to be called Leiwang or Guangwang/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor." Li Zhen kowtowed three times respectfully, and was about to stand up after receiving the imperial decree. Wang Tingchu hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, oh no, wait a moment, His Royal Highness Yue, there is still an imperial decree. .”

Li Zhen had no choice but to kneel down again, and Wang Tingchu took out another imperial decree: "Followed by the heavens, the emperor's edict said: The eighth son of the emperor, Yue Wang Zhen, is smart, smart, kind and pure. Concubine, I am ordered to marry at the age of 16, I do so!"

"Boom!" There was a sudden explosion in Li Zhen's head, which completely blew him away: "Wu Zetian became my wife? How did Wu Zetian become my wife? We are mortal enemies. You killed me, how did you become my wife in this life? You became my wife, what will Li Shimin do? What will Li Zhi do, Father, what do you think?"

"Eighth brother, eighth brother, quickly accept the decree and thank you." Li Ke, who was kneeling next to Li Zhen, saw that Li Zhen was dumbfounded, and quickly and quietly tugged on his sleeve to remind him in a low voice.

Li Zhen came to her senses, no matter what Li Shimin thought, the important thing is to take over the imperial decree first: "Oh, thank you, father, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Congratulations, Your Highness, but you still have to kneel for a while, because there is still an imperial decree here." Wang Tingchu once again stopped Li Zhen and the others who wanted to stand up, and took out the third imperial edict with a smile.

"How many imperial edicts are there? Can't you take them out together? It's hard to kneel for so long." Li Zhen complained, for some reason, all three imperial edicts are stinky and long, full of nonsense, Until the end, you can't hear the meaning of the imperial decree at all.Wang Tingchu read very slowly again, and it took a long time.Moreover, the imperial decree came unexpectedly. Li Zhen didn't even set up the incense case, let alone the futon cushions. So relatively, after receiving the two imperial decrees, the brothers' knees couldn't stand it anymore. The youngest Li Zhi even It was already crumbling, and it was only thanks to Li Tai's support that it did not fall over.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, this is the last one." Wang Tingchu didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction in Li Zhen's mouth, and continued to read unhurriedly: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor said: The eighth son Yue Wang Zhen is smart, smart, kind and pure, I am very happy that I will send Li Jing to listen to it immediately, and I appreciate it!"

Li Zhen really didn't understand the meaning of the third imperial decree. It probably meant that Li Shimin seemed to have appointed himself an official, and then he needed to go to Li Jing's account to listen to something, but he really didn't listen to the specific official position. come out.

There is no way, Li Zhen doesn't really understand the official system and military system, and the ancient official system is really too troublesome. An official position has different names, which is very confusing.In fact, the Tang Dynasty was better, and the Song Dynasty was even worse. Even ordinary people in the officialdom cannot fully remember it.

"Thank you, father, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Although I don't understand it very well, it is still the same sentence, the most important thing is to follow the imperial decree first.

Chapter 74 Ridiculous

Chapter 3 teasing

"Your Highness is happy three times a day, and this servant is here to congratulate His Highness." After finishing the business, Wang Tingchu first congratulated Li Zhen.

"Eighth brother was awarded the title of King of Yue, and seventh brother is here to congratulate you." Li Yun's eyes flashed an inexplicable look, and he also smiled and congratulated Li Zhen.

"That's right, and have you noticed that the eighth brother's food town has [-] households, and the fifth brother has only [-] households, and the eighth brother has a full two hundred households more than the fifth brother?" Li You The voice was full of jealousy.
