The Legacy of the First Auxiliary House of the Tang Dynasty

King Qi came to bid farewell to the emperor. When he met the prince and King Wei, they came to Taiji Palace to pay their respects.

When the prince of the Tang Dynasty reaches the age, he will go to the fiefdom to become a vassal. Of course, the king of Jin, Li Zhi, is fourteen years old, but Li Shimin cried to the ministers about the deceased eldest grandson empress and youngest daughter Sizi, and he was able to let the king of Jin stay by his side smoothly. Accompanying, not going to the feudal clan, and even now Li Zhi still lives in the Tai Chi Palace, with a different status from others.

But King Qi is different. Although Concubine Yin's status is not low, she is still a concubine, and the courtiers will never allow him to live in the imperial capital Chang'an for a long time.

King Qi's face was gloomy, and he entered the Ganlu Hall, barely restraining his expression.

He came back this time to ask the emperor to take back the order, and he didn't want Quan Wanji to follow him to the fiefdom.

Thinking of Quan Wanji, Li You secretly hated the prince.

"Aye, Mr. Quan is one of the teachers of the Eastern Palace, and my ministers absolutely dare not take it on." Li You declined.

In his opinion, Quan Wanji was sent by the prince to monitor him, not only to monitor, but also to "torture".

The emperor listened and glanced at the prince.

Li Chengqian looked at the fifth younger brother with a slight smile. If it wasn't for Fang Yiai, how would he know that Li You's thoughts were not shallow, and he dared to put nails in his east palace. This thought——

He couldn't help smiling and said gently: "Goro doesn't need to refuse. Mr. Quan is a man of knowledge, good at admonishing, and has perfect morals. He will definitely help Goro manage Qidi well."

Li You choked.

Li Shimin knew that the King of Qi was about to give birth, he didn't like studying, and had always been in contact with treacherous villains, Quan Wanji used to take care of him.After thinking about it, he waved his hands and didn't want to listen to King Qi's complaints anymore, so Li You could only return angrily.

The crown prince and King Wei knew what was discussed in the hall again, and it turned out that Fang Yiai was acting as a demon again——Wei Wang Li Tai laughed in his heart, but the more he looked at Fang Yiai, the more he disliked it.

However, Wei Wang smiled and expressed his approval to the emperor and other ministers to Fang Yiai's idea of ​​joining the army.

He even praised: "Brother-in-law is brave, maybe he can still make great contributions, and our Tang Dynasty will produce another prince—"

There is a lot of meaning in these words, the crown prince glanced at him, "Let's pass what Shiro said, Fang Yi'ai is only a little bit of force, and has not been on the battlefield..." It doesn't mean that you can be a general if you have strength, and it's not When you become a general, you can make meritorious service and get a title.

Li Jing and Li Ji also made more than one or two contributions, and they also made great contributions to the founding of the country. If Fang Yiai was made the Duke of the country by force, I am afraid it would have to be shrouded in horse leather.

Thinking of this, the prince's face suddenly sank.

He looked at Fang Yiai who was still looking forward to the military life, and felt helpless and angry again. How did this Fang Yiai "leave" the East Palace, and returned to the sea like a fish, jumping away.

Li Chengqian always felt that Fang Yi's love was slippery, and he felt uncontrollable.

After Fang Yiai left the Queen of Ganlu Palace, the crown prince bid farewell to the emperor and even caught up with him.

The two were talking on the side of the palace.

"Is it your own idea to follow the army to conquer Goguryeo?" The prince asked with narrowed eyes.

"Returning to Your Highness, that's right. In our generation, building meritorious service and protecting our family and country should be our top priority!" Fang Yiai said passionately.

"..." Li Chengqian didn't know what to say.

Fang Yiai was stunned, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he said: "Prince, please rest assured, the emperor will definitely go to the east, and His Royal Highness will be in charge of the country at the back..."

"You know it." Li Chengqian smiled inexplicably, but his voice was not very pleasant. "If it's for your official position, you don't have to. The saint will reward you this time, why bother to join the army?!"

Fang Yiai looked at the prince strangely, "Why do you say that, Your Highness? I really want to defend my family and the country, not for personal gain. The purpose is very noble. Don't think of me as being too despicable...Nobility is nobility The epitaph of the deceased—" He looked at the prince with a slightly humiliated expression.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned, these words were unlucky.

Fang Yiai sighed. He was afraid that the prince would not understand his ambition, so he talked about the necessity and importance of conquering Korea, and even praised Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty.

Talking about the Grand Canal in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Fang Yiai said with certainty: "Although it takes a lot of money, the role and benefits of the Grand Canal are obvious. It's just that Emperor Yang was too eager at that time. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish—"

"You learned something from Li Chunfeng."

Fang Yiai's last sentence comes from Chapter 60 of "Tao Te Ching". The prince is not bad at learning, but he is familiar with it. Li Shimin once summed up the gains and losses of the former Sui Yang Emperor in front of these princes.

The Li and Tang royal family is related to the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty in terms of blood. Among them, the biological mother of his third brother Li Ke is also the biological daughter of Emperor Yang.

"——It's just that you need to be cautious." The prince warned Fang Yiai not to want Fang Yiai to be impeached because of his judgment on Emperor Sui Yang.

Fang Yiai frowned, and then remembered that the courtiers hated Emperor Sui Yang, and even the third prince, Li Ke, was brave and courageous, but his background had been criticized all the time. words".

He nodded, "I know—" Before he could finish saying the word "Tao", he realized that someone was listening behind him.

Fang Yiai's expression suddenly changed at this moment, his whole body was cold, he snorted coldly, his toes moved slightly, and the toe of his boot hit a gravel——

There was a muffled snort, and when Fang Yiai and the prince walked over, there was no one there.

Fang Yiai sneered, he took a few steps forward, and there were some water stains on the steps.

"I heard that someone often delivers soup to Ganlu Hall?"

"Back to Mr. Fang, Concubine Wei Gui and Princess Gao Yang often come to Ganlu Hall recently." Zhao Dezi replied later.There is no such thing as a person like him who should be silent, and he should relieve his master's worries when he should come out.

The crown prince frowned upon hearing this, Gao Yang and Fang Yiai were at odds with each other, what Fang Yiai said just now seemed outrageous——

"Prince, don't worry. A gentleman is magnanimous. Even in front of the emperor, I don't hesitate to talk about Yangdi's achievements. Could it be that our Tang subjects didn't benefit from the Grand Canal of the former Sui Dynasty? Besides... some people 'she' can't hear anything .” The last sentence was said coldly.

Fang Yiai lowered her head and thought about the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo.

If there were no Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo to consume its national power, Goguryeo might be more threatening to the Tang Dynasty than the Turks!

Fang Yiai used to say that Goguryeo is a small country, but in fact Goguryeo is indeed a powerful country in East Asia at this time, and its ambitions are growing day by day, its territory is expanding day by day, and in a few years, it will even have the ability to compete with the Tang Dynasty.

Tigers must not be kept as trouble.

After thinking about it, Fang Yi's patriotic feelings were surging all over his body, but he refused to listen to the prince's persuasion and insisted on joining the army.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't respond this time, so he was sent out first.

But Fang Yiai firmly believed that he would definitely join the army during the Eastern Expedition. He could see that the emperor was moved, and his words happened to hit Li Shimin's heart.

Fang Yiai and the crown prince left the Ganlu Hall, but before they passed a step, Fang Yiai paused for a moment, the corners of her lips raised slightly, she retracted the corner of her eyes, and followed the prince step by step in the sunshine...

Princess Gaoyang was hit by the stone, her body was so soft, it was the maids beside her who supported her to dodge the prince and the others in a hurry, after all, she was a guilty conscience, the princess just kept them quiet and eavesdropped on the conversation between the prince and the son-in-law.

"Why can't I move!?" After a while, Gao Yang exclaimed.

But then she was even more horrified to find that her ears could not hear.

The mouths of the maids and eunuchs opened and closed in front of her eyes, and Princess Gao Yang fainted instantly.

……

In Concubine Wei's palace, Princess Gao Yang was carried back.

Soon the imperial physician came over, this time it was the imperial physician Zhang, he pulled his beard and pulled off several of them, and then he said embarrassingly: "The symptoms are not clear, I can't do anything about it."

Imperial Physician Zhang wiped off his sweat, but Concubine Wei Gui did not dare to be arrogant, Imperial Physician Zhang was one of the few master doctors among imperial physicians, she still had time to be used in the palace.

But Gao Yang looked anxious, and she looked angry, and when she wanted to say something, her voice was hoarse.Even later, the palace people discovered that her body was always limp and unable to move.

After Li Shimin heard the news, he didn't come to Concubine Wei's palace. He was standing at the map of the Tang territory thinking deeply, and it was hard to hold back the thoughts that had been provoked by Fang Yiai.

He didn't bother to pay attention to Concubine Wei's little eunuch who came to ask the emperor to visit the princess, he didn't say anything for a long time, and finally just said, let the big eunuch next to him go to the imperial hospital to find more imperial doctors to see the princess.

Naturally, Concubine Wei Gui and Princess Gao Yang did not wait for the emperor. Concubine Wei Guifei listened to a group of imperial physicians diagnose Gao Yang, and came up with the name of "wind arthralgia".

"Then hurry up and boil the medicine." Wei Guifei sighed.

Children are debts, especially this adopted daughter, it is really worrying.

Gao Yang moaned, but she didn't see the impatience in Concubine Wei's eyes.

Soon the palace people boiled the medicine soup, Princess Gaoyang was given a lot of bitter medicine soup, and a medical girl gave Gao Yang acupuncture and massage, but she didn't get better at all.

The imperial physicians were also very distressed, but they had tried their best. Princess Gao Yang seemed unable to move or speak, but her pulse was stable, and it did not seem like an incurable disease or an emergency.Seeing that it was getting late, the imperial physicians all withdrew from the inner court.

Princess Gao Yang's face was ugly, and she lay stiff all night, and there was no sound in her ears.

In the palace, the dark night has never been so quiet.

……

"What a Fang Yiai!" In the afternoon of the second day, Gao Yang was finally able to move and stand up suddenly.

Angrily, she told Concubine Wei the truth.

"Fang Yiai must have said something treacherous, or had a conspiracy with the crown prince... Otherwise, how could he attack me? I think he is guilty of a thief!" Gao Yang said bitterly.

She could see clearly that the stone was kicked by Fang Yiai on purpose.

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he was about to go to Ganlu Palace to report.

Concubine Wei put down the tea bowl with a cold face.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

Gao Yang was startled, looked up and saw Concubine Wei Gui's face was ugly, her eyes were colder than ever.

After Fang Yiai left the palace, he has no official position yet.

Fang Xuanling talked with Fang Yiai late at night for a long time, but when she left the room, she sighed to Mrs. Lu and said, "It seems that my family is about to produce another thousand-mile horse."

After saying that, he twirled his beard and looked very happy.

Lu Shi wondered, this is something that has never happened before, every time my husband-in-law mentions this second son, he is mostly worried, what's going on this time.

Fang Yiai was still busy with his match factory, and soon a small black workshop-style match factory was built.

Because the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace really didn't have much money to invest, and he himself folded in the hundred gold rewarded by the Crown Prince as a share, and the Prince's patchwork did not make up enough five hundred gold.

It seems a lot, but the matches are sold all over the country, five hundred gold is really not much.

Fortunately, although the match factory was small, the products came out quickly. They tried to sell them, and it became popular in Chang'an City, and he and the prince quickly benefited.

Zhao Dezi was in charge of the East Palace's money. He looked at the ledger, his smiling eyes narrowed.

The last time the prince asked him to give Fang Yiai a hundred gold, he was very heartbroken, it was the prince's private treasury.They were all saved by the princes and princes over the years. If he left the East Palace treasury, Yu Zhining would have to know that even every penny Li Shimin spent on the prince, the emperor would know as long as he wanted to know. Eggs, anyone who cares can find out.

...That's why Zhao Dezi saw from the prince's hundred gold last time how much the prince valued Fang Yiai.

At last, Erlang of the Fang family did not disappoint the crown prince, there was so much money—Zhao Dezi rubbed his hands and asked people to convert all kinds of copper coins into gold, put them into wooden boxes to hide their eyes and ears, and brought them into the East Palace without mentioning them.

Fang Yiai also has a part here, which was insisted on by the crown prince.

He gave two shares to Qingfeng Temple, the emperor didn't care about it, he probably didn't care about his little money, maybe soon he would know that his money was earned for the prince, but now Li Shimin doesn't care about it.

Fang Yiai took the three hundred gold and gave it to his mother, Lu Shi. The moved Lu Shi had tears in her eyes, and said straightly, "I saw the money back from my darling".

What is money back? - Fang Yi's mouth curled up, but she also knew that it was A Niang who was incoherent in happiness.

"Aniang, what is this little money - in fact, I have more in my hand, and the bulk is with me." Fang Yiai didn't hide it.

Just because he didn't hide it, Lu Shi stared, then wondered.

It's normal for Lang Jun to have some money from his own house, not to mention that it's not Fang Yiai's salary, it's serious money from doing business.

"Auntie, I want to use this money to build bridges and pave roads, give out gruel and food—" Fang Yiai's face was heavy, and he said with a look of concern for the country and the people, "There are too many suffering people in this world... On the way back, there are so many prostitutes, old beggars and young beggars, living in no fixed place, and their clothes are in tatters... It’s really hard!"

Fang Yiai's eyes dimmed with tears as he spoke, with a look of unbearable heartache, and then he sniffed: "I have to let them eat."

"... My son, the emperor dare not say such a sentence." Lu sighed after listening for a while.

She never thought that Erlang was such a soft-hearted person, and he must have buried this tender kindness deeply in his heart in the past.

This kid—

Fang Yiai wiped her face, raised her eyes and said, "I will definitely do it. I'll start with small things first, I don't even need the money, let's all do good deeds, Auntie?"
