Datang Fenghua Road

When the old guy said this, he threw the brush in his hand and instructed lightly: "Prepare a sedan chair for the old man, then Han Yue is my little friend. He wants to go to Dali Temple to have a lawsuit, and the old man has to go to support the field if he can't."

A young man next to him said cautiously with a puzzled face: "Grandpa, you have always adhered to the principle of neutrality and have never been willing to easily get involved in all kinds of disputes. Why do you have to show your face this time?"

Shangguanyi laughed and said: "Grandson, remember, sticking to the mean is the way to be conservative. Although it can save energy for the family, it loses the power of promotion. Of course it is right to do this when the wind is calm, but now What era is it? When the Tang Dynasty was first established, His Majesty is determined to forge ahead, and the whole world is about to usher in a great change. If we don’t grasp the opportunity, we will be left behind.”

The young man nodded as he listened, but he was still a little puzzled, and asked again: "Even if you want to stand in the team, you must see who is strong before making a decision, right? Grandpa is going to support the young man now, let's ignore it. He came from a farmer and is weak, so we don't know his character and character, but now he takes a stand and supports him, grandson always feels a little rash..."

"You little guy have only eaten for a few days?" Shangguanyi laughed, stretched out his hand and hit the young man's forehead, and said with a smile: "Remember, some people are born with the image of great wealth and honor, then Han Yue Don't look at the character of a slut, but Grandpa dares to conclude that this person will definitely do something great in the future?"

"Are you so confident?"

"This old man has gone through two dynasties and three generations in his life. He has been standing on the court for decades, and he has never made a mistake when he sees people with these eyes. Don't worry about my grandson, let's set off while the time is still early. , The so-called icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow. Since we are going to support the scene, it is natural to let little friend Han Yue feel our sincerity..."

So, another big family rushed to Dali Temple...

……

It was really a piece of paper complaining about the situation, which shocked countless people in Chang'an.

Wang Lingyun couldn't understand why the trouble was so big. When he heard his servant's report, the patriarch Wang Gui had already come to find him in person.

"Grandson, now all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have jumped out, and I'm going to Dali Temple to see our Wang's joke..."

"Grandpa, this is because my grandson did not plan well, I am ashamed."

"You don't have to worry, the old man doesn't mean to blame you. On the contrary, grandpa thinks that you are right this time, and you have done what the old man has always wanted to do but dare not do."

"What does grandpa mean by that?"

Wang Gui's eyes were kind, and he looked at the grandson who had always satisfied him. He stroked his long beard and taught earnestly: "Ever since Yang Guang in the late Sui Dynasty, the emperor has been suppressing the family. To win greater interests for the family. Later, when the world was in chaos, my Wang family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but Li Yuan and his son suddenly emerged and sat in the country with an invincible sweep. His family was originally a relative of the Sui Dynasty, and naturally continued to suppress the family. policy.”

Wang Lingyun nodded thoughtfully, and said in a low voice, "The battle between imperial power and the family has lasted for thousands of years and has never been interrupted. This is especially true of the imperial court today. Are the various policies of Li Yuan and his son fading away the power of the family? This matter really worries the grandson."

Wang Gui said: "Then Li Yuan is a sick tiger and nothing to be afraid of. His suppression methods are nothing but a spring breeze for us. What is really scary is Li Shimin... Our Majesty is a tiger and a eagle, and we have shown great talent when we are young. With this trend, his suppression method is like boiling a frog in warm water, and our family will subside before we know it."

The old man glanced at Wang Lingyun when he said this, and suddenly sighed and said, "Grandson, you haven't been in charge of the family yet, and some secrets have not been touched before. Do you know that since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the power of my family has been suppressed to [-]%. …”

"Thirty percent? So many?" Wang Lingyun was a little shocked.

"Yes, it's [-]%!" Wang Gui nodded with a sigh, and said, "My family takes a step back, and the emperor forces a step forward. If this continues, the family will soon fall into a situation where there is no way to retreat!" He glanced at Wang Lingyun, Suddenly said: "That's why grandpa said that you did the right thing this time, my family has been shrinking its minions for too long, so long that both the emperor and the court almost forgot our heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years, it's time for the world to see us. strength."

Wang Lingyun was silent, his face changed, and he thought about his grandfather's words carefully.

Wang Gui stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Let's go! Since the case was handed over to Dali Temple by those with ulterior motives, it is no longer for the servants of the family to face it. I have sent someone to unite the five surnames. Qijia, our father and son should leave early, so as not to be despised by me."

Wang Lingyun nodded his head heavily, his handsome face gradually became turbulent, suddenly showing a trace of leisure and anticipation.

"My grandson also really wants to see who Han Yue is. He has always fought in secret, but he never thought that this time he would stir up the situation in Chang'an. My son Lingyun, who is praised by the world, should also meet that young prodigy. now..."

Wang Gui chuckled: "My grandson's words are exactly what I want. If a person has no opponents in his life, life will be too smooth, and young people must be a little energetic, and they must have this kind of courageous struggle against others. Fearless ambition..."

"Grandpa is wrong, grandson is ashamed!" Wang Lingyun bowed his head in a salute, and when he raised his head again, his face was full of confidence.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and laughed, and their voices almost penetrated the Wang family's mansion...

Chapter 61

Taiji Palace, Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun's palace!

The palace is a good place, and the palace is not a good place.

It is said that it is good because everyone in the world yearns for it. It is the administrative center of the Tang Dynasty and the pinnacle of power in the world. It is not good because there are dense eaves and pavilions in the corners of the palace, five steps, one high wall and ten steps, one building. The wind is here to stop the step, and the sultry heat is the most fierce here.

The palace is really not a suitable place to live.

Summer is the hottest season of the year. The Lizheng Hall is located in the deepest part of the palace. In addition, the high eaves of the palace block the air flow, so there is no breeze here.

Empress Zhangsun was covered in fine sweat on her forehead. Her face was still pale, but her complexion was much better than before.

There are also two little palace maids in the bedroom, one of them is holding a little girl over three years old in her arms, as cute as pink and jade.

The weather is extremely hot, and the bedroom is like a steamer. Even adults feel a little irritable in such an environment, but this little girl is very quiet. She lies quietly in the arms of the little palace maid without crying or making trouble, with a pair of black eyes open. With his big dark eyes, he looked at his mother curiously.

Empress Changsun is making soup to relieve the summer sour plum soup.

The small red clay stove was placed in the center of the bedroom, and the fire was blazing vigorously, making the room even hotter, but Empress Changsun didn't realize it.

A few dried plum fruits tumbled in the boiling water, and soon the soup was dyed a pale red. The eldest grandson asked the maid to bring a tea cup, and personally placed a bowl of sour plum soup on the table to dissipate heat.

"Your Majesty should have finished approving the memorial soon. Bring some ice cubes and knock some and put them in the sour plum soup. When His Majesty comes over, it will be just to relieve the heat!"

The palace maid hurriedly agreed, trotted out the door, and soon brought an ice cube the size of a fist, with a slight chill under the sunlight.

"Mother, ice, ice..." The little girl in the arms of another palace maid suddenly exclaimed excitedly, her chubby little hands pointed at the ice cubes, and crystal threads flowed from the corners of her tender lips.

Empress Zhangsun let out a laugh, smeared the bridge of the little girl's nose dotingly, and said, "Little greedy cat, you can't eat this, I will soak it in the sour plum soup to cool it down, and the mother will give you a few sips."

"Mother, Bing, Bing!" the little girl still shouted, she was young and not yet sensible, but she kept fingering the ice cubes and drooling from the corner of her greedy mouth.

"You, what a greedy cat!" Empress Zhangsun scratched her forehead again, attached herself to the little girl's pinkish cheek and gave her a kiss.

At this moment, there was a burst of loud laughter outside the door, and Li Shimin's voice came in: "Guanyin maid, it's rare that our little rhino wants to eat some ice, why don't you give up? This is not the style of the grand queen. !"

"Your Majesty is down!" Empress Zhangsun greeted the door. She ignored her husband's jokes, and just reached out and took off the sweat towel that Li Shimin put on her shoulders, and put it in a small basin at the door and rubbed a few.

"Kuanyin maid, don't have to work hard, the palace maids can do such trivial matters. Let's sit down and talk." Li Shimin found a Hu stool in the palace and sat down, took the sour plum soup handed by the palace maids and took a sip. , the ice-cold soup entered his throat with a hint of coldness, and he shivered, and his whole body felt refreshed.

"Royal father, ice, ice..." The little girl asked Empress Zhangsun for a long time without seeing the result, so her small eyes rolled around and turned to Li Shimin.

Seeing her drooling drooling mouth, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing together, he hugged the little girl in his arms, leaned down and kissed her face fiercely.

"Giggle, the father is bad, the beard is tied..." The little girl fluttered with her little hands, giggling and constantly dodging.

Seeing how cute she was, Li Shimin laughed again, picked up the sour plum soup and said, "Come here, the emperor will feed you this little greedy cat!"

The little girl's saliva was drooling, and she quickly put her mouth to the side of the bowl and took a big mouthful.

"Be careful, don't choke!" Empress Zhangsun hurriedly shouted, but she glanced at her husband resignedly, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, please spoil her, Sizi's body is delicate, so you can't drink these cold soups all the time."

"It's okay!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "The weather is too hot, adults can't stand it, let Si Zixiao drink a few sips to relieve the heat, and I see that nothing will happen."

"Then just give her this sip, and don't give her any more. After all, the ice-cold sour soup is a cold thing. If your Majesty wants to relieve Sizi from the heat, you can give her Huoxiang Zhengqi Water..."

Li Shimin nodded, handed the little girl to the palace maid, and then smiled: "Guanyin maid brought Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, I just happen to have an interesting thing to tell you!"

"Really? I don't know what's the interesting thing? I can let your Majesty pay attention to it. It must be interesting to think about it." Empress Zhangsun sat down next to Li Shimin, with a hint of curiosity on her face: "Your Majesty, let's hear it!"

Li Shimin said "Yes", with a meaningful smile on his face, and said softly: "This is a criminal case. I say it is interesting because Chang'an City was attracted by it in a day, and countless people ran out to watch the excitement. Now Dali Temple has become a mess."
