Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

With the shameless brother of Majesty Li Er, this long letter of Li Yuanying naturally poisoned all the courtiers who had the opportunity to show their faces in front of Majesty Li Er. In the past, Changsun Wuji and others thought Li Yuanying was shameless, but this time they have a new understanding of Li Yuanying's shamelessness.

When Changsun Wuji met Kong Yingda, he couldn't help but stabbed: "The palace of King Teng went to the Imperial College to study for a few years, and I learned a lot." Li Yuanying wouldn't write this kind of literary things in the past, it must be. Running to Guozijian and Kong Yingda, these old scholars have learned the stinky problems after staying for a long time.

Kong Yingda was also "fortunate" to read Li Yuanying's letter. He also felt that Li Yuanying and Li Er were shameless, but Changsun Wuji had come to ridicule people face to face. Of course he couldn't admit this. Kong Yingda stroked his beard and said: "The lower official thought that the following of King Teng's Palace was very profitable, the writing was smooth and natural, and there was a sense of respect and admiration for His Majesty everywhere, which was quite sincere and touching. send."

Changsun Wuji was sickened by Kong Yingda again.

This literati's mouth is so good, black can be said to be white! He was sure that if Li Yuanying hadn't been a student of the Imperial College, this old Kong would be the first to jump out and scold him for flattering! Unable to provoke such a cultural theory researcher, Changsun Wuji found a Yutou to separate from Kong Yingda, and refused to listen to Kong Yingda continuing to praise Li Yuanying's letter for how natural and smooth it was.

In fact, they will make a few words about the flattery that Li Yuanying took, but very few people will be so shameless and unscrupulous. After all, everyone is a person with a face and a face. Flattering, writing a sour poem and praising Longwei is almost enough.

But they want face, Li Yuanying doesn't want it. Li Yuanying writes back and praises whenever he gets the benefits, regardless of how others feel when they see it. What's even more annoying is that His Majesty Li Er just eats this set!

Just when Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others just walked out of the shadow of Li Yuanying's flattering letter, and they were able to support their own appetite, another letter from Tengzhou was sent to Chang'an.

When I saw the bulging letter this time, Changsun Wuji said to Fang Xuanling promptly: "I suddenly remembered that I have something to discuss with Li Shangshu. You can check this letter and send it to your Majesty." After speaking, Changsun Wuji got up and walked outside without hesitation, his round waist looked very light, and there was no figure in two or two strokes.

Fang Xuanling: "..."

This letter did not go through the channels of His Majesty Li Er's personal letter, but was first presented to them. The content should not be as difficult as the last one.

Fang Xuanling did a good job of psychological construction for herself, and opened this letter, which was not so much a letter as a plan, and read it.

Looking at the beautiful and faintly sharp handwriting above, Fang Xuanling relaxed, it was obviously not written by Li Yuanying. After Fang Xuanling finished reading the first paragraph, she couldn't help but straighten up.

To be honest, Li Yuanying took great pains to get a post office, and they were a little confused, thinking that Li Yuanying might have made such a thing on a whim. This thing seems to be impossible to make money at all, because sending a letter may only cost a penny, but at most ten penny, and the operation of the post office requires a lot of manpower, and there must be ticket sellers, sorting, letter delivery, etc. Equipped with a group of people. How many people can write letters? Is it worth the effort?

At the beginning of this plan, it elaborated in detail the significance of the postal system: the postal system is not for profit, but for the smooth flow of information throughout Datang, so that people living in remote and remote areas can feel the court’s grace and recognize that they are a big company. Tang people.

When Gao Chang fell to the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court established the Anxi Protectorate on the throat of the Silk Road. But how strong can the imperial court's control over that area be? It can be said that if the Anxi Duhu Mansion is not an important business route, there are even many people on the court who don't want to care about it. If anyone sends them to guard Anxi Duhu Mansion, it will undoubtedly take their lives!

After all, it is too far from Chang'an.

Too far, the imperial court is not easy to control; too far, not easy to get by the people.

Of course, it is certainly impossible to count on a postal system to be able to give one's heart. Just set up an ordinary mail box in such a place, and give the people a channel to send letters to Chang'an and send letters to all parts of Datang. It means that Chang'an has not forgotten them, and it means that Chang'an belongs to everyone. Chang'an-As long as you were born on the territory of Datang, you can enjoy everything that any Datang person can enjoy.

When Changsun Wuji came back from the outside, she saw Fang Xuanling still reading the letter, calculating something while reading the letter, sometimes looking excited and sometimes embarrassed. He saw that the letter was not like usual nonsense, so he stepped forward and asked Fang Xuanling if there was anything important.

Fang Xuanling said: "You came back just right." He invited Changsun Wuji to sit down with him, and let Changsun Wuji accompany him to calculate how much money and how many people it would cost to roll out the postal system.

Changsun Wuji was confused, took the letter and read it, and Fang Xuanling was speechless. This Li Yuanying posed a big problem for them. They didn't expect these joints to be forgotten. Now that someone has already mentioned it, how could they not want to do it?

Since His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, their monarchs and ministers discussed the most every day about how to manage Datang's rivers and mountains well and how to keep Datang Sheji in peace for a long time. Now that someone has proposed a method worth trying, a plan worth doing, how can they turn a blind eye?

However, this is too difficult. It costs too much money and has to invest more manpower. Is it so that the people are not farming at all, running around and sending letters to various places every day? How can there be so many people available, how can there be so many letters to send.

Fang Xuanling is in charge of internal affairs. She knows how much money the court has and how many people there are. She turned her head when she thought of investing so much manpower and material resources. He took the grandson Wuji and counted them. The final result was Li Yuanying in the letter. The segmentation plan mentioned is more reliable, and it is a pipe dream to fully roll out the postal system at one time.

It can be said that the plan sent by Li Yuanying is extremely accurate, and there is no place they can change, but the specific implementation plan does not mention when to start, where to try, and who to choose. To be in charge, Li Yuanying didn't interrupt a word, and it was all planned by the court.

Changsun Wuji glanced at the last signature. Of course, the first name on the top was Li Yuanying. Looking at the second name, the word Wumei was written on the top!

Looking at this handwriting, the whole plan was obviously written by Wu Mei.

This Wu Mei was originally a talented person of Majesty Li Er. Majesty Li Er gave her to Li Yuanying with a wave of his hand. Later, I didn’t hear that Li Yuanying had anything to do with her, but let her get into the top of the Jinshi scientific examination. . Changsun Wuji couldn't figure out what His Majesty Li Er thought about this former talent. He always turned a blind eye to Wu Mei-related matters, but she did not expect such a plan to be written by her!

This is a talent!

If she was born as a boy, with such abilities, and with a background like the number one in a scholar, I don't know how many people would want to draw her to their own hands. It's a pity that she is a woman, and she was once a talented person to His Majesty Li Er! With such an identity and such a temper, no one dares to use it, no one dares to marry, and only Li Yuanying, who is not stingy, dares to present her name to the imperial court.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, found Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang to read the postal plan together, and then went to see Her Majesty Li Er together.

His Majesty Li Er has nothing to worry about recently. The road has been repaired. Li Yuanying also said that the cost is all-inclusive. He is welcome to take a trip to Mount Tai and stop by Tengzhou to see her younger brother. However, the court will have to discuss this matter for a long time. Even if the results are discussed, it takes time to discuss a good day and make preparations for the meditation. Therefore, you may not be able to move this year, and you will have to start next spring to start.

Things are settled, and your Majesty Li Er is not in a hurry now. Hearing that Changsun Wuji came together to ask for a meeting. His Majesty Li Er invited people in and sit down at the first time, and asked: "What is the important thing for Zhuqing to come here together?"

Changsun Wuji presented a familiar letter, which looked very bulging like the long letter Li Yuanying wrote to him last time.

Hearing Changsun Wuji said that it was Li Yuanying who had sent it, His Majesty Li Er lifted up and picked up the letter and read it.

Upon reading the handwriting, His Majesty Li Er immediately discovered that this was not written by Li Yuanying. Fortunately, after reading a paragraph, he knew that this must be Li Yuanying's idea, but someone helped polish it up.

After reading the entire postal plan, His Majesty Li Er looked at the budget brought by Fang Xuanling, contemplated for a moment, and made a final decision: "We must do this, and we must do it well!" Li Yuanying can protect the land of a state Trying to do things for the people, he sits on Datang Jiangshan and can't do this and that because of a temporary lack of money and people. Thinking about Li Yuanying's series of actions, the postal system may not be self-financing. The court only needs to subsidize some money from time to time. Therefore, as long as they make a good start, the postal system can slowly operate.

His Majesty Li Er had made a decision, and Fang Xuanling and others all put forward their own opinions to further improve this nationwide mailing plan.

Compared with Chang'an's troubles and busyness, Tengzhou in the first month seemed much happier. Recently, Fengtailou has started to act out newly-arranged stories and repertoires. It is not a "letter from a family" or "a letter from a thousand miles of marriage". The plot not only conforms to the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, but also secretly encourages everyone to write and write letters. Friends and relatives exchange feelings. You must know that sometimes a thin letter can determine your future, your marriage, and even your fate in the next few decades. Therefore, everybody writes a lot. Feelings need to be managed. If you don't say it, I don't say it. Who knows your deep affection!

Even if there was no such encouragement, many people lined up in front of the mailbox to post letters early on the first day of the first month.

This is the first day that the post office officially opened the delivery service. If they can put the letter in as soon as possible, they will be the first people to send the letter through the post office! No matter when things like "first" are more exciting, not to mention that it is the Spring Festival, and it is also very good to send blessings to relatives and friends in other places.

In the next few days, the crowd in front of the post office was not too small, making people wonder whether the entire Tengzhou people came to send letters. The postmen did not have a holiday for the Chinese New Year, and worked hard to get letters at one point every day, and they sorted and categorized the letters very dedicatedly and sent them out.

There are male and female employees in the post office. They all have uniform training and wear uniform clothes. They look very professional. Even a man who doesn't know the big words and reckless walks in and can't help but constricts his voice, and listens honestly to the instructions to find a letter writer. People help write letters.

Most of the first month has been busy, and everyone has adapted to this kind of work intensity. Looking at the door courtyard, which has been deserted a lot after the first month, still feels empty.

Li Yuanying has personally inspected the post office several times, and was caught by several dudes in Tengzhou and complained about why the gold stamps were not sold in Tengzhou and only sold to people in Beijing? As a result, they were put on a show by their friends in Chang'an, especially shameless! You are King Teng, how can you turn your elbow away and sell good things to others? Do you look down on us!

Li Yuanying only felt that there is really no shortage of rich people in this world, but people who will create opportunities for them to spend money. Even if his emperor brother sent people to support him, the talents were still not enough! Li Yuanying immediately expressed enthusiasm to the dudes: "Don't worry, Tengzhou will definitely have a lot of good things that you can't buy outside, and the stamps in Tengzhou are renewed every year, and there are golden tickets every year."

Regardless of whether post offices in other places are built or not, the post offices along the Fengtai Straight Road are all operating smoothly, and articles from Henan Province can always be spread to various places at the fastest speed.

At this time, there was a terrible news from Chang'an: Gao Shilian died of illness.

Gao Shilian is the uncle of the grandson Wuji and the queen of grandson. His Majesty Li Er and Li Chengqian are very close to him. Although he is more than seventy years old this year, he is not a young man. His sudden death would still make His Majesty Li Er very sad, if not Changsun Wuji desperately stopped him, he almost wanted to personally send Gao Shilian's coffin to his burial.

Although His Majesty Li Er did not go, he let Crown Prince Li Chengqian go.

Li Chengqian was also sad, even if His Majesty Li Er didn't order him, he still wanted to go to the funeral. After receiving the order, he went out of the city with the Gao family. It was a long time since Gao Shilian left his last words before his death, saying that he should not bury him, so the funeral procession was quite simple. Li Chengqian did not complain at all, and honestly followed all the way.

There was nothing wrong on the way there, but something went wrong on the way back: Last year, the king of Jiangxia Li Daozong was ordered to expedition to Xue Yantuo, beheaded five thousand, captured tens of thousands, and directly destroyed the people. Although Xue Yantuo perished, he never died. Some critics Xue Yantuo Yudang heard that the prince drove by and deliberately set up ambushes and assassinates on the way to make "Tian Khan" taste the pain of losing his son.

Li Chengqian went out of the palace to go to the funeral this time, and he was lightly dressed, and there were not many people with him, and he actually made them rush to the front. However, Li Chengqian didn't like riding in a carriage. He could ride a horse by himself. Although the man was not injured, the horse was shocked. He was thrown off the horse by the shocked horse. The horse behind was also taken aback, and in a panic, he slammed on the calf of his right leg.

Although Li Chengqian is good at hunting horses, he is not a person who has suffered. He suddenly suffered such a heavy step and fainted on the spot. All the guards who accompanied him were scared to death. While protecting Li Chengqian who was in a coma, away from the shocked horse, he was reluctant to stay alive and kill those Xue Yantuo Yudang.

His Majesty Li Er got furious when he heard the news of Li Chengqian's accident, and asked someone to investigate the matter on the spot, regardless of other government affairs, and went to see Li Chengqian in the East Palace.

Li Chengqian was awakened after being sent back to the East Palace, and the doctors were nervously consulting his injured leg.

Li Xiang nervously grabbed Li Chengqian's hand and asked, "Yeah, does it hurt? Yeah, you cry when it hurts. No one will laugh at you. We will stay with you."

Li Chengqian was still in shock, but after being comforted by Li Xiang, the heart he was tugging at calmed down instead. He said: "It was painful at the time, but it doesn't hurt anymore." Of course, this is to comfort his son. In fact, he is very conscious now and feels more pain in his legs. But how can a manly man scream pain in front of his son!

Li Xiang drove to the ground and exchanged heat towels to wipe the sweat of Li Chengqian, and took care of his injured family. He said to him that when family members are sick, it is best to accompany them personally. Even if the people underneath can take good care of them, it is no better than having someone who is really close by their side. Li Xiang hummed and finished his work, and continued to hold Li Chengqian's hand and asked actively: "Yeah, are you hungry? If you are hungry, I will send someone to bring the porridge!"

What His Majesty Li Er saw when he came over was this scene of father's kindness and filial piety. He suppressed the anger on his face, so that both Li Chengqian and Li Xiang didn't have to be polite, and sat down to the side to see the wound on Li Chengqian's leg, and then called the emperor to ask about the injury. As soon as Gao Shilian went, Li Chengqian had another accident, which really made him feel distressed.

The imperial physician faltered and said the result of the consultation: This leg can be connected well, and it will not affect walking, but there may be a little problem in walking. To put it simply, it's just a little lame, it's not a particularly serious one, and it's not obvious if it walks slowly.

Li Chengqian's expression remained unchanged after hearing the words of the imperial doctor. He looked at His Majesty Li Er, and wanted to see what his Majesty Li Er thought, but only saw his ugly face.

No matter how hard you can see, it is a flaw. Since ancient times, there has been no lame prince, let alone a lame emperor.

His Majesty Li Er did not expect that Li Yuanying was attacked last year, and this year it was the Crown Prince's turn to pick others to go to the funeral. These people are really hateful!

His Majesty Li Er let Li Chengqian lie down to recuperate, and made an assurance on the spot: "I have asked someone to thoroughly investigate this matter. If I find out who is involved, I must punish the whole clan!" People have seen it, and the truth has not been ascertained. His Majesty Li Er told the prince and Li Xianghaosheng to take care of Li Chengqian and left. He wanted to personally follow up who was so bold.

The person sent out to investigate the matter has not returned yet, and the Jiangxia King Li Daozong has entered the palace to plead guilty.

Li Daozong is the cousin of the Supreme Emperor, the cousin of His Majesty Li Er, a few years younger than His Majesty Li Er, who made great contributions to killing Xue Yantuo last year, but asked himself to be transferred to a post on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Recently, Li Daozong was inexplicably restless, feeling that something was going to happen. Not long ago, he encountered an assassination, and it was Xue Yantuo's Yu Dang who came to the door to avenge him. As far as Xue Yantuo was concerned, he was an enemy who broke his family and annihilated his country. It was normal for the other party to come to the door. He was not injured, so he felt that more things were not as good as less things that were not reported. They only asked people to secretly track down the traces of these Xue Yantuo's remaining party. After all, he and His Majesty Li Er are not particularly close brothers, and they cannot go to His Majesty Li Er if they encounter a small matter.

Unexpectedly, these people failed to ambush him, they were bold enough to attack the prince, and they really caused the prince to have something wrong!

Although I don’t know how the prince was injured, the prince’s injury is a firm fact. Li Daozong didn’t dare to delay any more. He went to the palace for the first time to see his Majesty Li Er, Chen Ming, who was pursuing Xue Yantuo’s remaining party.

Little Prince: Let me out, I want to care about my eldest nephew!
