Tang Xuan

Chapter 122 Traveling Thousands of Miles Slowly

The spring snow has not yet melted, and the melting snow on the mountain road ticks down on the top of the mountain, making the road steeper and more difficult.

A group of business travelers from the north are winding down the mountain road.They didn't have much cargo, so they walked cautiously.Most of the people were in a sophisticated posture, except for one of the young people who was dressed as a cashier, who was a little struggling to walk.He just relied on his youth and strength to follow, unlike the others, they were all Lian's sons upon closer inspection.

This group of people is naturally Lang's nails, and Hanlin Zhang Anren.The leader was Lang Qiao, the chief steward of Duke Mu's residence.Starting from Chang'an, it has been more than a month.It is still cold in the mountains, but fortunately, the most difficult road has already been passed. After leaving the mountain today, the road will be much easier.

There are more dangers.

When resting, Lang Qiao deliberately took an extra piece of dried meat and handed it to Zhang Anren, saying, "Eat."

Brother Young Master had a lot of wind and frost on his face, and he would refuse at first. After taking it, he chewed hard on the ice water in the water bag.He said vaguely, "Thank you."

Lang Qiao took good care of him, Zhang Anren knew it well and was grateful.The situation was tense, and they went all the way to Sichuan, taking ordinary roads and staying with ordinary people.These insights made Zhang Anren understand that the world is evil and dangerous, not all people are peaceful as he thought.

In the beginning, this scholar may have ulterior motives in standing up, but now he really wants to prevent this unnecessary sword disaster for Datang.It's just that he also understands that maybe this time is to sacrifice his life for benevolence.

After filling their stomachs, the team set off again and headed down the mountain.Zhang Anren suddenly became happy, and yelled a song commonly sung by the people of Yizhou, which was quite rascal.

Just after the first day of the new year, Li Yu couldn't wait to leave Daming Palace and went to Mingde Gate to meet Baoqin.

The imperial chariot drove through Suzaku Street, causing the people who were reunited at home to be curious and wait and see from the street.After noon, the chariot really returned slowly under the protection of the Jinwu Guard.

The voices of the people were buzzing, but the family of three in the car didn't realize it, and enjoyed themselves happily.

Li Yu hugged the little guy in his arms a little jerky, still immersed in the joy of being a father for the first time.Baoqin sat beside him, with a slightly plump figure, only looking at the father and son tenderly.

"Your Majesty, we've arrived at Daming Palace." Jiang Liang whispered something outside the chariot, but Li Yuhun didn't care, and said, "Well, go straight back to Qinghui Pavilion."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head to look at Baoqin and said, "I know you will dissuade me, but I'll let you up to this matter." Li Yu lifted the curtain of the car childishly, and said, "Look, this is Danfengmen. But Now the national treasury is empty, and neither the Hanyuan Hall nor the Eastern Palace have been repaired."

Baoqin understood it in his heart, but he still said: "I'm afraid the courtiers won't agree after the New Year's Day. Your Majesty, you still..."

"Baoqin, if you insist on calling me like this, I can't help you?" Li Yu contemplated her and said, "Now that I've become the emperor, it's about this incident that makes me feel a little happy."

Who would have expected that Li Yu, who was originally an ordinary vassal king, would ascend to the throne by chance after a farewell to Linzi?After the news came back, Baoqin was surprised, but more worried that Li Yu would not adapt.After half a year of separation, she went through giving birth alone, and her temperament is not comparable to what it used to be.

When I arrived at Qinghui Pavilion, I met Ming Dasi, the two sisters-in-law were teasing the children, and it was rare for the palace to show cheerful smiles.

"Brother Seven, have you decided on a name?" Mingda thought of Li Dong and Li Tang who were hidden in the Mu Gong's mansion, and said, "Xu'er and the others are gone, so you still want to use wooden characters?"

Li Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Don't Sixth Brother's children also learn from wooden characters? Naturally, my children should be like this."

Ming Da hugged the piano and fell silent, watching Li Yu stroke his chin in thought, and waited for more than half a moment before he heard Li Yu say: "This is really stupid, let's take Lin."

Mingda was taken aback for a moment, but still didn't understand what he meant, but suddenly his eyes got wet while holding the piano, and said: "This..."

"This is the most suitable. Since I have followed the tree, the two trees are a forest, and I hope that it will symbolize my future branches and leaves. Besides, it is your surname, why not?"

It was only then that Mingda remembered that Baoqin was originally surnamed Lin when he read the documents.She smiled, got up quietly and left, closing the door behind her.

The laughter of the long-lost reunion in the room made her miss Lang Huai who was far away even more, and she couldn't help feeling a throbbing pain in her heart.After rushing back to Weiyang Residence, Ming Da picked up the remade carved dagger, drew it out half a foot, and looked at the eight inscribed characters engraved on the sword——I wish you all, Yongan prolongs your life.

Mingda hugged the blade tightly and said to himself: Soon, she will be able to set off for Dunhuang soon.

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the first year of Zhicheng, the day before the New Year's Eve is early.Before the Yushitai wrote the letter, Li Yu read out the imperial decree first, making the Lin family the queen, and making his son Li Lin the king of Lin'an County.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and all the officials were in an uproar.Regardless of Tang Feiyan's winks, Wei Lingzhi first asked: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the most talented people have been selected as empresses. Your Majesty is so hasty, I think it's inappropriate!"

With him, the Minister of Rites, taking the lead, Xie Bi also had to stand up. Although the words were tactful, they also meant the same thing—it was wrong.

Such a situation had been expected by Li Yu.He leaned on his chin and looked at the ministers citing scriptures and citing scriptures below, and he was spitting all over the place, and suddenly remembered the mischievous things with those old Hanlin when he was a student in the East Palace when he was young.

After waiting for a few moments, Li met them all calm down, and said: "I know what you all care about. At the beginning, I was a feudal lord in Linzi, and my father was worried that I would go alone. I also knew that I and Mu Gong would never go against each other. Mr. Mu is allowed to choose smart and sensible maids and servants to follow in the mansion."

"My heart is pleased with her, just like my father fell in love with his mother at the first sight in the south of the Yangtze River. My eldest son was born in Boshan, and he is already half a year old."

Li Yu talked eloquently, and said with a smile: "I don't want to hear about the selection of concubines and queens. It's my family's business to establish a queen, and it's the same for my son to be crowned king."

"The most important thing now is to wait for the reply from South Shu Road. My dear friends, it's better to focus on the business."

The emperor and empress know each other at the end of the day, the piano and the instrument are harmonious, and they are all good at painting.Emperor Zhaozong favored him alone, and later he still followed civil etiquette and was not extravagant.Twenty years after Zhicheng, Emperor Zhaozong was plagued by wind and disease, and ordered the prince to supervise the country.The back clothes cannot be untied, and they are often accompanied by Emperor Zhaozong.

Emperor Zhaozong died, and he mourned afterward.After many years also died.

"Book of Tang? The Chronicle of Emperor Zhaozong"

On February [-]th of the first year of Zhicheng, Zhang Quan, the Jiedu envoy of Yizhou, resigned from his post, and received the decree of the hereditary Marquis of Shuyi.In early March, Zhang Quan and his family moved to Chang'an.Yizhou Jiedu envoy was temporarily absent, and Fan Yansi took over later.

At the end of April, Zhang Quan arrived in Chang'an.Li Yu handwritten an imperial edict to build a plaque in Shuyihou's mansion, and awarded Danshu iron coupons.The crisis in southern Shu was resolved, and [-] soldiers from southern Shu were assigned to the Pingxi Army and marched to Dunhuang.

Tie Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, once wrote that recruiting soldiers must consider military pay, and the limit that the treasury can afford is only 20 troops.But looking at Li Yu's posture, he will not stop until he reaches 30.

Li Yudang said that the household department only needs to bear [-]% of the military salary, and the remaining [-]% will be borne by the internal treasury.

This remark reassured the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they all only wanted to open up the prosperous age, and the family accumulated by Emperor Ming was truly abundant.In fact, in the last years of Kaiyang, there were many extravagances and prostitution in the palace, and the money accumulated in the early years was almost lost.

This day Mingda did not enter the palace, but stayed in Weiyang residence.

After playing with the ignorant brothers and sisters Li Dong and Li Tang for a while, and letting Li'er take them back to rest, she pulled herself together and went to the backyard of Duke Mu's mansion.

Just when Li Yumingda was at a loss for the treasury, the Jiang family in the south of the Yangtze River broke the rules set by the previous generation, secretly came to Chang'an, and knocked on the door of Weiyang residence.

Although Jiang Yu was not allowed to be an official due to the precepts of his ancestors, he has been paying attention to the changes in the Tang Dynasty.He was keenly aware of the false prosperity in Kaiyang's last years, and when he made a special trip to meet Li Yu, he wanted to find out whether Lang Huai and the Lang family behind her were absolutely loyal.

Then the news of the Tubo invasion came, and thanks to the fact that Jiang Yu had started to cash out in the past six months, the accumulation of hundreds of years was continuously poured into the internal treasury through Lang's Commercial Bank, reversing the current difficult situation.

Jiang Yu was waiting for Mingda there.He stayed in Chang'an for more than a month, apart from taking care of money matters, he just wanted to see his sister's son and daughter.

"Uncle." Mingda bowed politely, knowing that he cared about these things the most, but then he returned to his original nature, took Jiang Yu's arm and said, "Oh, the child looks cute, but it's really embarrassing to be mischievous."

"In the future when the two of you have children, you don't think so." Jiang Yu had no choice but to let her take care of this niece.

"Speaking of which, if uncle is like this, isn't he afraid that the Jiang family will be unable to make ends meet and ruin everyone for a hundred years?" Mingda tilted his head, a little curious.

"It's just one family. Compared with thousands of families, what's the point?" Jiang Yu shook his goatee, changed the subject, and said, "I've been lingering in Chang'an for a long time, and according to the schedule, your cousin will be there in April and May." Well, I have to hurry back."

Mingda nodded, thought for a while and said, "Uncle, I have a heartless request."

Jiang Yu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said, "It belongs to those two children?"

Ming Da acquiesced, saying: "Uncle is so insightful, he should know their backgrounds."

Those two children are twins, although they are only two years old, they can already tell that they look very much like Mingda.The first time Jiang Yu saw them, he knew they were twins among the three children born to Li Xun.

"Hey, you are right to think. After all, the two of them are too sensitive. It is safe to leave Chang'an earlier." Jiang Yu thought for a while and asked, "Does Your Majesty know?"

Ming Da shook his head and said, "Only you and me, Ah Huai and a few other people know the inside story. Outsiders don't even know the existence of the two of them."

"Uncle, when the rear army is ready, I will go to Anxi. I can't take them with me? After thinking about it, I can only rest assured with you." Mingda counted the time and said: "Uncle, you are well-educated." From ancient to modern times, you can also teach them well.”

Jiang Yu nodded Mingda's nose, and said, "Okay, Uncle agrees. It's just that this matter has to be settled carefully. Since you plan to hide their background forever, you have to change their surname to Yi." Fortunately, they are still young, so they shouldn’t be able to remember things. Tell me, what name did you change?”

Mingda frowned, and said: "It's so troublesome, um... Ahuai's name is Mingji, and my name is Mingda, so let's take the surname Ming. As for the name, it's up to uncle to think about it, so I don't need to bother."

Jiang Yu shook his head helplessly, thought for a long time in his heart, and then said: "In my opinion, Tang'er doesn't need to change. The royal family's etiquette, her maiden name is only known to the clan and close people, but Dong'er has to change. "

"Uncle is right, so what should I change?"

"It's not like picking oak. From wood, I also hope that he will live a happy life." The more Jiang Yu thought about it, the more appropriate he felt, and he looked at Mingda with a smile.

"Mingtang Mingyu? Mingtang Mingying..." Mingda muttered a few words to himself, and said with a smile, "That's it!"
