Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]
Chapter 499 Sui Dynasty Princess VS Tang Dynasty Prince—07
Yang Ruoxi is very beautiful, there is no doubt about it, and she has been in the court for a long time, she has an outstanding temperament, Li Xie stared at her, comparing in his heart, compared with the previous time and space, Yang Ruoxi is naturally more beautiful than Lin Xiaran, but Lin Xiaran A bit more aura than Yang Ruoxi, this is the difference between the girls who grew up in modern society and the princesses in the ancient court, that is, the so-called modern girls in the novel are full of freedom, but the ancient girls are not.
The two of them didn't speak, Li Xie stared at her, there was a little beauty in his heart, Yang Ruoxi lowered his head slightly, his heart beat wildly at first, but gradually calmed down.
The years are so quiet and indifferent!
Liu He came up with tea, she put it down and left, just in time to wash clothes in the well in the backyard.
Yang Ruoxi poured a glass of water, put it beside Li Xie, and said softly, "Your Highness, please drink tea."
Li Xie didn't turn his gaze, so he moved his hands, put his hands on the teacup and then stopped moving, Yang Ruoxi's heart moved slightly, and she raised her head to look at him: "Don't stare at me like this."
"Why am I staring at you?" Li Xie said with a smile.
"You?" Yang Ruoxi felt that this person was too reckless, she dared not look at him with lowered eyes.
Li Xie looked at her, but in his mind, he was imagining how beautiful Yaoyao would be if she wore this ancient costume.
"Ruoxi, you are so beautiful." Li Xie praised without hesitation, today he is wearing a blue round neck gown, his long hair is tied behind his head, he is holding his chin with his hand, and a strand of hair is flying over playfully.
Yang Ruoxi felt a little sweet in her heart, raised her head slightly, then lowered her head: "Your Highness is also so glib?"
It is summer now, Yang Ruoxi is wearing a light pink long dress, revealing her beautiful neckline, her skin is snow-white, her expression is shy, Li Xie squinted her eyes, it is not easy to see Yaoyao's shy expression, so he had to take advantage of traveling through Come back, Yaoyao has no memory, tease her hard, it is best to tease her so that her face is red.
Li Xie sighed: "Who said to Ruoxi that my highness is glib? My highness has always been quiet and follows the style of abstinence. Whenever I meet Ruoxi, the hot feelings in my heart are like a torrential flood, torrenting endlessly. "
Yang Ruoxi was still thinking, what does the abstinence system mean?She was so shocked by what he said behind her that she panicked and blushed so much that she didn't dare to look at him.
Li Xie felt relieved, he should not be too anxious, he had to take his time, otherwise when Yaoyao improved his 'immunity', he might not see Yaoyao's youthful side in the future.
In the imperial study room, after being brainwashed by his son again, Li Yuan calmed down for a moment, then with a helpless and indulgent expression on his face, he muttered: "Stinky boy, the person I indulge the most is you."
Li Yuan was right, the person he indulged the most was indeed his son.
"Jiang Lianggong, where has the crown prince gone?" Li Yuan just asked casually, and Jiang Lianggong immediately poked his head outside the door and replied, "Does Your Majesty want to find His Highness the Crown Prince? Your Highness has gone to the Xiqing Institute."
Li Yuan suddenly understood, and raised his brows: "Are you looking for Yang San?"
Jiang Lianggong rolled his eyes and said respectfully, "Aside from looking for the third lady, Your Highness should not be looking for anyone else."
Now only the two princesses of the previous dynasty live in the Xiqing Institute, and the princesses of His Majesty are all married, so the Xiqing Institute is just an empty courtyard for the time being.
Li Yuan sighed slightly, pondering in his heart, it seems that the boss is determined to marry Yang San, but don't worry, anyway, he won't be able to have children after marrying, let's take a look.
At Xiqing Office, Li Xie didn't stay long, just stayed for half an hour. After he left, Yang Ruoxi sat alone on the porch for a long time. She was thinking, she and her younger sister are now living in Xiqing Institute, Li Yuan The emperor and uncle of the new dynasty did not treat them harshly, and he did not intend to do anything to the weak girls, the sisters. This uncle was indeed a hundred times better than her father in terms of morality.
But are the sisters going to stay in the palace all the time and be raised by their cousin?This doesn't seem very good, she actually prefers to make a living after leaving the palace, but now that the prince is involved, and her relationship with the prince is involved, she can't simply leave the palace like this, otherwise she will shame the prince and his cousin .After thinking for a long time, Yang Ruoxi still couldn't find an effective solution. She didn't know how to take care of both.
Yang Ruomei poked her head around and found that the man who came back to look for Ajie every time was not there, so she ran out with her skirt in her hands.
"Sister, what are you thinking?" She held her chin and smiled, Yang Ruomei recovered a little bit of mischievousness in the past few days, she looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Sister, are you still thinking about the prince?"
Yang Ruoxi patted her younger sister's forehead, and said amusedly, "People have big hearts."
Yang Ruomei stuck out her tongue, then tilted her head, and asked, "Sister, how are mother and the others doing now?"
Yang Ruoxi's eyes darkened. Mother, she doesn't know what the auntie and the others are doing now, but in fact she has nothing to do. Let alone something cold-blooded, do they have anything to do with her sisters?If they are together, they can still take care of each other, but they are thousands of miles apart, she will not go out of their way for them, and they will not go out of their way for her.
"Seventh sister, in this world, we can only take care of ourselves, not our aunt and the others. What's more, we were left in Luoyang for two years. Maybe it's because the current situation is not good. No matter whether it's the father or the aunt, they all take care of us. We forget that, in this case, our relationship is nothing more than familiar strangers."
Yang Ruoxi's tone was sad. In such troubled times, as a subjugated princess, she could only place her hopes on the kindness of the new ruler.
Simply, she won the bet, so after coming to Chang'an, the sisters were not thrown to a man like goods, otherwise they could only become ordinary concubines in the man's backyard from then on, unable to control themselves for the rest of their lives.
The expression on Yang Ruomei's face gradually faded, she pursed her lips, and said, "Sister, don't worry, I know. If one day I meet my aunt, fourth sister, fifth sister, and sixth sister, then I can If I can help them, I will reach out, but other than that, there is nothing I can do."
Her voice gradually lowered, "I know, in fact, if it wasn't for Sister, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live now. And if I didn't escape from Luoyang, in fact, I know that I'm afraid we would become captives of others, and we are Girl, I'm afraid I'll be rewarded to those stinky men. I'm afraid I would have died outside if my sister hadn't been smart all the way to escape from Luoyang."
Yang Ruomei's tears were falling down. She didn't dare to think about it before, but now that she thinks about it, she is still afraid for a while. She used to live in the palace, and there were unpleasant things in the palace, but as a princess, even an unfavored princess, she There will be no danger to her life, but what she saw along the way was more thrilling than what she had seen in the palace for ten years.
Yang Ruoxi didn't comfort her younger sister anymore, thinking that this girl has finally grown up, and now they are dependent on each other, if she is still as ignorant as before, she doesn't know if she will be able to keep her in the future.
After Li Xie left the palace, he went to Guiyun Pavilion, the busiest restaurant in Chang'an City.Before arriving at the restaurant, I already heard the noise coming from the restaurant, one after another, like waves, wave after wave.
Li Xie stepped into the restaurant as usual, some people who knew him saw it and took it for granted, that is, some officials secretly muttered in their hearts, this Crown Prince is really brave, isn't he afraid of someone assassinating him?It seems that many times, His Royal Highness has never seen His Royal Highness go out with a guard. Is he really brave, or does he think that no one dares to assassinate him?
Now these restaurants and teahouses in Chang'an City are the most lively places, because every day there are grand events such as poetry competitions and debates. A large group of young scholars participate, and the most eye-catching one is Wei Wang Li Xuanba, This girl may not be very good at reciting poems and writing lyrics, but he likes to join in the fun, and as long as he is a talented scholar, he can be recruited and recommended by King Wei. It has not been long since King Wei's mansion opened, and there are already more than 20 people in his mansion Young scholars came to vote.
Li Xie went to the second floor, the best room in the whole restaurant, and Wei Ting, Jia Ting, and Liu Donglin were already in the room, watching with great interest a group of scholars and students showing off their talents.
"He's in good spirits." Li Xie patted Wei Ting's shoulder, this girl looked sluggish that day, and he didn't see him again in the next few days, when I saw him today, his spirit was better than before.
Wei Ting turned his head back for a moment, then saluted with a embarrassed expression, "Your Highness, you are finally here." People are in good spirits every happy event. Recently, the relationship between him and his wife has improved by leaps and bounds. This feeling is indescribable to outsiders. You can only understand it yourself.
"Whoever you fancy, go ahead and recruit them. There will be plenty of places to employ people in the future." Not only is the Tang Dynasty waiting to be rebuilt, but the whole world is waiting to be rebuilt. There are too many places to employ people in the future. The dozens of people we have are not enough.
Wei Ting frowned slightly: "Your Highness, are you still recruiting people?" He felt that there were already enough. During this period of time, they had recruited 32 people. Now, except for a few of these 32 people who have been recommended to work in various departments, they still have time to spare. Yu, isn't it a waste of money to recruit again?
Li Xie knocked on him and said, "Look farther away." He also held up two fingers to compare the eyes, and pulled them away from the eyes.
Wei Ting was embarrassed, but he still felt that it was enough. Even if His Highness took back other places in the future, there would still be officials in those places. People are more familiar with the places and it is actually more convenient to use them.
Jia Ting and the others felt that there was no problem. His Highness's recruitment was to give the poor students from all over the world a chance, a chance to stand out and become famous.
Just as he was talking, there was a burst of applause and thunderous applause from downstairs. When everyone looked around, it turned out that a young student had written an extraordinary poem.
How to describe it?It's like Xue Baochai's poem in Dream of Red Mansions: "The good wind sent me to Qingyun by force. This man is blatantly looking for the Lord. With his talent and handsome appearance, it's no wonder he is so confident."
The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, and some people asked: "Who is this person? So crazy?"
"He came here from out of town. His name seems to be Bai Jingyu."
……
Jia Ting's eyes shined brightly. As a poor family, he likes such confident and aggressive students.
Liu Donglin was the oldest, and when he saw a person, he definitely didn't appreciate such a sharp-edged student at first glance, but if His Highness said yes, he would have no objection.
"How is it, Your Highness?"
Wei Ting answered first: "I think it's okay. The new dynasty and the new atmosphere that His Highness said is to have such energetic young students to drive everyone to take action."
Who can't shout slogans?Li Xie glanced at Wei Ting, and he squinted his eyes: "One thought of heaven, one thought of hell."
The three of them chewed on His Highness's words in their hearts, and Li Xie said again: "You sign him as usual. When filling out his personal information, if he fills in his personal information, then he should train hard. If he is unmarried, remember to set up more obstacles during the training." If in the end he didn't ask you to rewrite the married information, or confessed, or halfway through, he hitched up a certain high-ranking official or wealthy family and became his son-in-law, then this person can't be used."
"If that's the case, then this young man's mind is not right." Liu Donglin said while stroking his beard. A person can have no talent or be poor, but he can't have no morals. As the saying goes, getting married and starting a business, these two things have been parallel life events since ancient times Well, getting married means having a family of your own. As a man, you have to be responsible for your own family. How can you throw away your wife and marry another?From the very beginning the defects of virtue were revealed.
Jia Ting came to a sudden: "One thought of heaven, one thought of hell, so that's how it is."
Wei Ting suddenly became interested. He wanted to know whether such a high-spirited person would walk another path because of a momentary darkness in his heart?
Apart from Bai Jingyu, who was making a big splash, there were other young scholars who were not to be outdone, and wrote good poems and lyrics one after another, some of which were very popular when read.
Another half an hour later, the poetry competition came to an end, Li Xie did not leave the restaurant, but Wei Ting and Liu Donglin left, they still had things to do.
It's around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's basically time for dinner. Li Xie ordered a few dishes, and while waiting for the dishes, another person came.
Ding Pu ran up red-faced and out of breath. He thought he was too late, but Jia Ting poured him a glass of water and waited for him to calm down before starting to talk about business.
"Your Highness, this is the latest report submitted by Qingyun Pavilion." Ding Pu took out a stack of papers from his wide sleeves. It was not thick, only seven or eight pages. There are more than 100 people. If you look carefully, the names above are the sons of officials and wealthy families in Chang'an City, except for some poor students.
Jia Ting stretched his head to read, but after only a while, he stopped reading. He didn't have the abnormal memory of His Royal Highness. As for this form, he would have to read it for at least an hour, and he might not be able to remember all the names. But His Highness remembered, he still remembered the last ranking.
Li Xie finished reading it within 10 minutes, then folded it up and put it in his chest, and said, "Very good, not bad, keep it up, please tell Meng Liang and the others, let them tell those students, especially the sons of ministers, it's best not to Expose the affairs of the organization, otherwise their dream of making a fortune and making their father look up to them will be shattered."
Jia Ting and Ding Pu couldn't help laughing, and Ding Pu held back his smile and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, in fact, there is no support for what they do at home, even if they tell their father and elder brother what they have learned, I am afraid that their father will be the first." What Bu Bu wanted was to teach this simple and practical method to his favorite son, and to benefit the son he watched, they are not fools and would not be reconciled."
"However..." Ding Pu was a little uncertain, Jia Ting took over the words and said, "But if it takes too long, they won't see the way forward, Your Highness, I'm afraid they won't have that much patience."
These guys may not work hard when they were young, so they were abandoned by their families or fathers, but one thing is that they are indeed inferior to their elder brothers and younger brothers who are favored by heaven.
Li Xie squinted his eyes and nodded: "It won't be too long, a year at most, half a year at the earliest, or just a year ago. In short, it might happen when I'm not in Chang'an."
Those guys would not wait for him to make trouble when he was in Chang'an, they would only make trouble when he was not in Chang'an and watched Li Yuan's ears soften.
He tapped his finger on the table and said: "The war in Qianshuiyuan is over, and Erlang and Shiro, I and I will go to the battle. During the time I am not in Chang'an, you should keep an eye on Chang'an. If father is bewitched by these family officials, To issue a decree that is not conducive to Datang, then you two, Meng Liang and Xue Tao must discuss it carefully, how to suppress this decree?"
"The government decree that I suppressed about people's livelihood is about land, because the whole country is not yet unified, so I did not speak out about the decree about liberating the land. The opposition of small nobles and rich people with hundreds of acres of land is not conducive to the unification of the Tang Dynasty, so this is the most important decree. I will also explain to my father that without me, he cannot issue any decrees related to land. But you also know that my father has no idea and is a little afraid of the power of these aristocrats, so this needs to be supervised by you."
Jia Ting and Ding Pu don't know what His Highness's specific decree is, but His Highness wants to liberate the land, which will benefit tens of thousands of people. As a big farming country, people can live on as long as they have land. Now basically Most of the land is held in the hands of the so-called aristocrats, and more of them are hermits who do not pay taxes to the court. Then more and more people can't survive, so they have to rebel and liberate the land from the big families. Come out and return to the hands of the people again, and so on.
This is also about Qingyun Pavilion, Lixie did not hand it over to Wei Ting and the others, but just asked Jia Ting, Ding Pu to cooperate with Meng Liang and Liang Tao, if there is anything, it is easy to discuss.
Li Xie lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "As Erlang and Shiro and I take back more and more territory, those talented scholars, talents or hermits who were still waiting to see will flood into Chang'an, and they will find all kinds of people. Because of the current policy, they cannot enter the court as soon as possible, and there will inevitably be people who make trouble. The assessment policy will be cancelled, and the previous nomination system will be implemented, so I estimate it will be about three months Half a year is enough, the sons of officials taught by Qingyun Pavilion, students from poor families, and the talents recruited by our Prince's Mansion, the talents recruited by Saburo and Shiro will come in handy."
Ding Pu and Jia Ting listened carefully, they will cooperate well with Meng Liang and Liang Tao in Qingyun Pavilion, and never let the poor students' rise to the top be blocked by these aristocrats again.
"As for King Qin's mansion, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are two old treacherous and treacherous people. When they saw people from the Prince's mansion, Prince Wei's mansion, and Prince Qi's mansion all mobilized, the people from Qin's mansion dared not not move out. But it’s not necessarily true, because Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have always wanted to help Erlang win the support of court officials, so that’s the time for them to show their performance.”
Li Xie smiled coldly: "I hope Erlang is not so stupid."
Jia Ting and Ding Pu looked solemn, yes, this is the time to fight for the interests of the family, if King Qin/His Royal Highness does not stand on the side of His Highness the Crown Prince, unless His Highness the Crown Prince fails, His Highness King Qin will have no place in the Li family in the future.
Leaving from the restaurant, Li Xie returned to the Prince's Mansion, when he was going to bed at night, he suddenly thought that he hadn't arranged anyone for Yaoyao, although he knew she would be fine, but she was only surrounded by those two maidservants, it was inconvenient for her to do anything.
On the second day, when Li Xie woke up, the first thing he remembered was to find four maidservants for Yaoyao. The people in Qingyun Pavilion are more arrogant and will not easily convince others, so it is better not to assign the people from Qingyun Pavilion to Yaoyao, it is better to find four people among the palace maids.
But as soon as he opened the door, an excited voice came from the yard: "Your Highness, good news."
Li Xie was taken aback, good news?After thinking about it, could it be that news of the Battle of Qianshuiyuan came?
"Your Highness, there is good news from Qianshuiyuan. We have captured Xue Ju alive." It was another voice. Li Xie took a closer look. light place.
Li Xie raised his eyebrows: "Pei Gong hasn't arrived yet, has he?"
Xie Chong smiled and said: "No, according to Peigong's schedule, he will not be able to arrive at Qianshuiyuan until noon tomorrow at least, and our army has already entered Xue Ju's base camp by tomorrow."
Xue Ju left his son in his lair, and he led the army to fight. In fact, he was not fully prepared, and was caught off guard by Tang Jun.
Only good news came from the front line, but no specific battle situation. I'm afraid that the military report will rush to Chang'an in the afternoon.
In the early court, the court meeting was full of joy and harmony, Li Yuan was happy, and the courtiers were also happy. As the officials who followed Li Yuan in the uprising, they hoped that the Tang Dynasty would rule the world, so that their status could rise.
After the court meeting, Li Xie picked four maidservants from the palace and sent them to Yang Ruoxi in Xiqing.
"Your Highness, this..." Yang Ruoxi felt that there was not much difference with these four maidservants. It was impossible for her to completely trust the maidservants of the Tang Palace.
Li Xie shook his head: "It's useful, they will be your people in the future, just like Liu He, they will be used by you."
These four maidservants were sold by poor families selected by Lixie. They had just received the training of the palace and had not yet received the edification of the harem, so they had no clear idea of what their useful masters were, and they would not be like the ones in the harem. The maid, who still had unrealistic ideas in her heart, was just right for Yang Ruoxi.
After hearing this, Yang Ruoxi nodded, and then asked Liu He to take them to settle down.
Yang Ruoxi has been thinking about how she can realize her independence while relying on Emperor Tang, but she has never thought of a good way, so she has no choice but to hold back.
"Seeing that you are unhappy, is there any embarrassment? Tell me, and I will share your worries."
Yang Ruoxi shook her head with a smile, she had to think about it herself, she couldn't tell him, otherwise it would be meaningless.
Around dusk, the battle report from the front came back. There were specific battle reports, so there was also a detailed report on which general captured Xue Ju alive.
Li Xie looked at the battle report and had to say that Li Jing was unlucky. He was sent to fight as a centurion captain, but his team was assigned to the defensive side, and then Xue Ju ran for his life in a hurry. Fleeing in his direction, Li Jing captured Xue Ju alive.
Li Yuan was very happy, he admired Li Jing very much, so Li Jing made meritorious service, he was happier than anyone else.
"Dalang, now that Li Jing has made meritorious service, this seventh-rank captain should belong to him, right?" Although the rank of seventh-rank captain is not high, he can still manage 500 people in the army. Ability, I think it will be promoted to the rank of general of the third and fourth ranks soon.
Li Xie nodded helplessly. He was not because of Li Jing's meritorious service. He was naturally happy because of Li Jing's meritorious service. He was because of Li Yuan. This person is typically more pleasing to the eyes of other people's children, right?
The battle with Xue Ju, there is no doubt that the Tang army has achieved quite gratifying achievements in this battle. When the news of the victory on the front line came, Xue Ju and his son had died. Xue Ju committed suicide after hearing the news of his son's death. Yes, no one thought he would commit suicide.
After the good news came to Chang'an, Li Xie, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji led their respective armies, as well as various armies of the imperial court, to fight against the surrounding separatist forces. Among them, Li Shimin fought against Zhu Jie, and Li Yuanji went to Li Jing's side. Support to fight against Li Gui, while Lixie went to fight against Liang Shidu.
Tang Jun fought with various warlord forces, and various warlord forces also fished in troubled waters. During such chaos, Luoyang Wang Shichong, Weixian Yuhua and Li Mi fought, while Hebei Dou Jiande defended against Li Mi and Wang Shichong's sneak attack, while expanding his territory and attacking Under the Liaocheng.After Dou Jiande captured Liaocheng, he turned around and attacked Yu Wenhuaji. He hated Yu Wenhuaji the most. Dou Jiande has three forces, among which Li Mi is in the middle and has the largest territory.
After a few months, Empress Xiao and others in Liaocheng heard news from Chang'an that Empress Xiao was brought to Liaocheng by the rebels with her young grandson, three concubine daughters and a group of court ladies, but Liaocheng was soon captured. Dou Jiande attacked, and Dou Jiande still respected the Sui Dynasty, so he treated Empress Xiao and others very kindly.
But which warlord nowadays does not want to set up his own family, and Dou Jiande treats them kindly at this time, just to win people's hearts, but what will they do in the future?Empress Xiao and the little emperor's grandson are fine, one is old and the other is still young, as long as they bear with it, they can always pass, but what about the three princesses who are about to reach their age?
The two of them didn't speak, Li Xie stared at her, there was a little beauty in his heart, Yang Ruoxi lowered his head slightly, his heart beat wildly at first, but gradually calmed down.
The years are so quiet and indifferent!
Liu He came up with tea, she put it down and left, just in time to wash clothes in the well in the backyard.
Yang Ruoxi poured a glass of water, put it beside Li Xie, and said softly, "Your Highness, please drink tea."
Li Xie didn't turn his gaze, so he moved his hands, put his hands on the teacup and then stopped moving, Yang Ruoxi's heart moved slightly, and she raised her head to look at him: "Don't stare at me like this."
"Why am I staring at you?" Li Xie said with a smile.
"You?" Yang Ruoxi felt that this person was too reckless, she dared not look at him with lowered eyes.
Li Xie looked at her, but in his mind, he was imagining how beautiful Yaoyao would be if she wore this ancient costume.
"Ruoxi, you are so beautiful." Li Xie praised without hesitation, today he is wearing a blue round neck gown, his long hair is tied behind his head, he is holding his chin with his hand, and a strand of hair is flying over playfully.
Yang Ruoxi felt a little sweet in her heart, raised her head slightly, then lowered her head: "Your Highness is also so glib?"
It is summer now, Yang Ruoxi is wearing a light pink long dress, revealing her beautiful neckline, her skin is snow-white, her expression is shy, Li Xie squinted her eyes, it is not easy to see Yaoyao's shy expression, so he had to take advantage of traveling through Come back, Yaoyao has no memory, tease her hard, it is best to tease her so that her face is red.
Li Xie sighed: "Who said to Ruoxi that my highness is glib? My highness has always been quiet and follows the style of abstinence. Whenever I meet Ruoxi, the hot feelings in my heart are like a torrential flood, torrenting endlessly. "
Yang Ruoxi was still thinking, what does the abstinence system mean?She was so shocked by what he said behind her that she panicked and blushed so much that she didn't dare to look at him.
Li Xie felt relieved, he should not be too anxious, he had to take his time, otherwise when Yaoyao improved his 'immunity', he might not see Yaoyao's youthful side in the future.
In the imperial study room, after being brainwashed by his son again, Li Yuan calmed down for a moment, then with a helpless and indulgent expression on his face, he muttered: "Stinky boy, the person I indulge the most is you."
Li Yuan was right, the person he indulged the most was indeed his son.
"Jiang Lianggong, where has the crown prince gone?" Li Yuan just asked casually, and Jiang Lianggong immediately poked his head outside the door and replied, "Does Your Majesty want to find His Highness the Crown Prince? Your Highness has gone to the Xiqing Institute."
Li Yuan suddenly understood, and raised his brows: "Are you looking for Yang San?"
Jiang Lianggong rolled his eyes and said respectfully, "Aside from looking for the third lady, Your Highness should not be looking for anyone else."
Now only the two princesses of the previous dynasty live in the Xiqing Institute, and the princesses of His Majesty are all married, so the Xiqing Institute is just an empty courtyard for the time being.
Li Yuan sighed slightly, pondering in his heart, it seems that the boss is determined to marry Yang San, but don't worry, anyway, he won't be able to have children after marrying, let's take a look.

Yang Ruomei poked her head around and found that the man who came back to look for Ajie every time was not there, so she ran out with her skirt in her hands.

Yang Ruoxi patted her younger sister's forehead, and said amusedly, "People have big hearts."
Yang Ruomei stuck out her tongue, then tilted her head, and asked, "Sister, how are mother and the others doing now?"
Yang Ruoxi's eyes darkened. Mother, she doesn't know what the auntie and the others are doing now, but in fact she has nothing to do.

And if I didn't escape from Luoyang, in fact, I know that I'm afraid we would become captives of others, and we are Girl, I'm afraid I'll be rewarded to those stinky men. I'm afraid I would have died outside if my sister hadn't been smart all the way to escape from Luoyang."
Yang Ruomei's tears were falling down. She didn't dare to think about it before, but now that she thinks about it, she is still afraid for a while. She used to live in the palace, and there were unpleasant things in the palace, but as a princess, even an unfavored princess, she There will be no danger to her life, but what she saw along the way was more thrilling than what she had seen in the palace for ten years.
Yang Ruoxi didn't comfort her younger sister anymore, thinking that this girl has finally grown up, and now they are dependent on each other, if she is still as ignorant as before, she doesn't know if she will be able to keep her in the future.
After Li Xie left the palace, he went to Guiyun Pavilion, the busiest restaurant in Chang'an City.Before arriving at the restaurant, I already heard the noise coming from the restaurant, one after another, like waves, wave after wave.
Li Xie stepped into the restaurant as usual, some people who knew him saw it and took it for granted, that is, some officials secretly muttered in their hearts, this Crown Prince is really brave, isn't he afraid of someone assassinating him?It seems that many times, His Royal Highness has never seen His Royal Highness go out with a guard. Is he really brave, or does he think that no one dares to assassinate him?
Now these restaurants and teahouses in Chang'an City are the most lively places, because every day there are grand events such as poetry competitions and debates. A large group of young scholars participate, and the most eye-catching one is Wei Wang Li Xuanba, This girl may not be very good at reciting poems and writing lyrics, but he likes to join in the fun, and as long as he is a talented scholar, he can be recruited and recommended by King Wei. It has not been long since King Wei's mansion opened, and there are already more than 20 people in his mansion Young scholars came to vote.
Li Xie went to the second floor, the best room in the whole restaurant, and Wei Ting, Jia Ting, and Liu Donglin were already in the room, watching with great interest a group of scholars and students showing off their talents.
"He's in good spirits." Li Xie patted Wei Ting's shoulder, this girl looked sluggish that day, and he didn't see him again in the next few days, when I saw him today, his spirit was better than before.
Wei Ting turned his head back for a moment, then saluted with a embarrassed expression, "Your Highness, you are finally here." People are in good spirits every happy event. Recently, the relationship between him and his wife has improved by leaps and bounds. This feeling is indescribable to outsiders. You can only understand it yourself.
"Whoever you fancy, go ahead and recruit them. There will be plenty of places to employ people in the future." Not only is the Tang Dynasty waiting to be rebuilt, but the whole world is waiting to be rebuilt. There are too many places to employ people in the future. The dozens of people we have are not enough.
Wei Ting frowned slightly: "Your Highness, are you still recruiting people?" He felt that there were already enough. During this period of time, they had recruited 32 people. Now, except for a few of these 32 people who have been recommended to work in various departments, they still have time to spare. Yu, isn't it a waste of money to recruit again?
Li Xie knocked on him and said, "Look farther away." He also held up two fingers to compare the eyes, and pulled them away from the eyes.
Wei Ting was embarrassed, but he still felt that it was enough. Even if His Highness took back other places in the future, there would still be officials in those places. People are more familiar with the places and it is actually more convenient to use them.
Jia Ting and the others felt that there was no problem. His Highness's recruitment was to give the poor students from all over the world a chance, a chance to stand out and become famous.
Just as he was talking, there was a burst of applause and thunderous applause from downstairs. When everyone looked around, it turned out that a young student had written an extraordinary poem.
How to describe it?It's like Xue Baochai's poem in Dream of Red Mansions: "The good wind sent me to Qingyun by force. This man is blatantly looking for the Lord. With his talent and handsome appearance, it's no wonder he is so confident."
The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, and some people asked: "Who is this person? So crazy?"
"He came here from out of town. His name seems to be Bai Jingyu."
……
Jia Ting's eyes shined brightly. As a poor family, he likes such confident and aggressive students.
Liu Donglin was the oldest, and when he saw a person, he definitely didn't appreciate such a sharp-edged student at first glance, but if His Highness said yes, he would have no objection.
"How is it, Your Highness?"
Wei Ting answered first: "I think it's okay. The new dynasty and the new atmosphere that His Highness said is to have such energetic young students to drive everyone to take action."
Who can't shout slogans?Li Xie glanced at Wei Ting, and he squinted his eyes: "One thought of heaven, one thought of hell."
The three of them chewed on His Highness's words in their hearts, and Li Xie said again: "You sign him as usual. When filling out his personal information, if he fills in his personal information, then he should train hard. If he is unmarried, remember to set up more obstacles during the training." If in the end he didn't ask you to rewrite the married information, or confessed, or halfway through, he hitched up a certain high-ranking official or wealthy family and became his son-in-law, then this person can't be used."
"If that's the case, then this young man's mind is not right." Liu Donglin said while stroking his beard. A person can have no talent or be poor, but he can't have no morals. As the saying goes, getting married and starting a business, these two things have been parallel life events since ancient times Well, getting married means having a family of your own. As a man, you have to be responsible for your own family. How can you throw away your wife and marry another?From the very beginning the defects of virtue were revealed.
Jia Ting came to a sudden: "One thought of heaven, one thought of hell, so that's how it is."
Wei Ting suddenly became interested. He wanted to know whether such a high-spirited person would walk another path because of a momentary darkness in his heart?
Apart from Bai Jingyu, who was making a big splash, there were other young scholars who were not to be outdone, and wrote good poems and lyrics one after another, some of which were very popular when read.
Another half an hour later, the poetry competition came to an end, Li Xie did not leave the restaurant, but Wei Ting and Liu Donglin left, they still had things to do.
It's around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's basically time for dinner. Li Xie ordered a few dishes, and while waiting for the dishes, another person came.
Ding Pu ran up red-faced and out of breath. He thought he was too late, but Jia Ting poured him a glass of water and waited for him to calm down before starting to talk about business.
"Your Highness, this is the latest report submitted by Qingyun Pavilion." Ding Pu took out a stack of papers from his wide sleeves. It was not thick, only seven or eight pages. There are more than 100 people. If you look carefully, the names above are the sons of officials and wealthy families in Chang'an City, except for some poor students.
Jia Ting stretched his head to read, but after only a while, he stopped reading. He didn't have the abnormal memory of His Royal Highness. As for this form, he would have to read it for at least an hour, and he might not be able to remember all the names. But His Highness remembered, he still remembered the last ranking.
Li Xie finished reading it within 10 minutes, then folded it up and put it in his chest, and said, "Very good, not bad, keep it up, please tell Meng Liang and the others, let them tell those students, especially the sons of ministers, it's best not to Expose the affairs of the organization, otherwise their dream of making a fortune and making their father look up to them will be shattered."
Jia Ting and Ding Pu couldn't help laughing, and Ding Pu held back his smile and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, in fact, there is no support for what they do at home, even if they tell their father and elder brother what they have learned, I am afraid that their father will be the first." What Bu Bu wanted was to teach this simple and practical method to his favorite son, and to benefit the son he watched, they are not fools and would not be reconciled."
"However..." Ding Pu was a little uncertain, Jia Ting took over the words and said, "But if it takes too long, they won't see the way forward, Your Highness, I'm afraid they won't have that much patience."
These guys may not work hard when they were young, so they were abandoned by their families or fathers, but one thing is that they are indeed inferior to their elder brothers and younger brothers who are favored by heaven.
Li Xie squinted his eyes and nodded: "It won't be too long, a year at most, half a year at the earliest, or just a year ago. In short, it might happen when I'm not in Chang'an."
Those guys would not wait for him to make trouble when he was in Chang'an, they would only make trouble when he was not in Chang'an and watched Li Yuan's ears soften.
He tapped his finger on the table and said: "The war in Qianshuiyuan is over, and Erlang and Shiro, I and I will go to the battle. During the time I am not in Chang'an, you should keep an eye on Chang'an. If father is bewitched by these family officials, To issue a decree that is not conducive to Datang, then you two, Meng Liang and Xue Tao must discuss it carefully, how to suppress this decree?"
"The government decree that I suppressed about people's livelihood is about land, because the whole country is not yet unified, so I did not speak out about the decree about liberating the land. The opposition of small nobles and rich people with hundreds of acres of land is not conducive to the unification of the Tang Dynasty, so this is the most important decree. I will also explain to my father that without me, he cannot issue any decrees related to land. But you also know that my father has no idea and is a little afraid of the power of these aristocrats, so this needs to be supervised by you."
Jia Ting and Ding Pu don't know what His Highness's specific decree is, but His Highness wants to liberate the land, which will benefit tens of thousands of people. As a big farming country, people can live on as long as they have land. Now basically Most of the land is held in the hands of the so-called aristocrats, and more of them are hermits who do not pay taxes to the court. Then more and more people can't survive, so they have to rebel and liberate the land from the big families. Come out and return to the hands of the people again, and so on.
This is also about Qingyun Pavilion, Lixie did not hand it over to Wei Ting and the others, but just asked Jia Ting, Ding Pu to cooperate with Meng Liang and Liang Tao, if there is anything, it is easy to discuss.
Li Xie lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "As Erlang and Shiro and I take back more and more territory, those talented scholars, talents or hermits who were still waiting to see will flood into Chang'an, and they will find all kinds of people. Because of the current policy, they cannot enter the court as soon as possible, and there will inevitably be people who make trouble. The assessment policy will be cancelled, and the previous nomination system will be implemented, so I estimate it will be about three months Half a year is enough, the sons of officials taught by Qingyun Pavilion, students from poor families, and the talents recruited by our Prince's Mansion, the talents recruited by Saburo and Shiro will come in handy."
Ding Pu and Jia Ting listened carefully, they will cooperate well with Meng Liang and Liang Tao in Qingyun Pavilion, and never let the poor students' rise to the top be blocked by these aristocrats again.
"As for King Qin's mansion, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are two old treacherous and treacherous people. When they saw people from the Prince's mansion, Prince Wei's mansion, and Prince Qi's mansion all mobilized, the people from Qin's mansion dared not not move out. But it’s not necessarily true, because Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have always wanted to help Erlang win the support of court officials, so that’s the time for them to show their performance.”
Li Xie smiled coldly: "I hope Erlang is not so stupid."
Jia Ting and Ding Pu looked solemn, yes, this is the time to fight for the interests of the family, if King Qin/His Royal Highness does not stand on the side of His Highness the Crown Prince, unless His Highness the Crown Prince fails, His Highness King Qin will have no place in the Li family in the future.
Leaving from the restaurant, Li Xie returned to the Prince's Mansion, when he was going to bed at night, he suddenly thought that he hadn't arranged anyone for Yaoyao, although he knew she would be fine, but she was only surrounded by those two maidservants, it was inconvenient for her to do anything.
On the second day, when Li Xie woke up, the first thing he remembered was to find four maidservants for Yaoyao. The people in Qingyun Pavilion are more arrogant and will not easily convince others, so it is better not to assign the people from Qingyun Pavilion to Yaoyao, it is better to find four people among the palace maids.
But as soon as he opened the door, an excited voice came from the yard: "Your Highness, good news."
Li Xie was taken aback, good news?After thinking about it, could it be that news of the Battle of Qianshuiyuan came?
"Your Highness, there is good news from Qianshuiyuan. We have captured Xue Ju alive." It was another voice. Li Xie took a closer look. light place.
Li Xie raised his eyebrows: "Pei Gong hasn't arrived yet, has he?"
Xie Chong smiled and said: "No, according to Peigong's schedule, he will not be able to arrive at Qianshuiyuan until noon tomorrow at least, and our army has already entered Xue Ju's base camp by tomorrow."
Xue Ju left his son in his lair, and he led the army to fight. In fact, he was not fully prepared, and was caught off guard by Tang Jun.
Only good news came from the front line, but no specific battle situation. I'm afraid that the military report will rush to Chang'an in the afternoon.
In the early court, the court meeting was full of joy and harmony, Li Yuan was happy, and the courtiers were also happy. As the officials who followed Li Yuan in the uprising, they hoped that the Tang Dynasty would rule the world, so that their status could rise.
After the court meeting, Li Xie picked four maidservants from the palace and sent them to Yang Ruoxi in Xiqing.
"Your Highness, this..." Yang Ruoxi felt that there was not much difference with these four maidservants. It was impossible for her to completely trust the maidservants of the Tang Palace.
Li Xie shook his head: "It's useful, they will be your people in the future, just like Liu He, they will be used by you."
These four maidservants were sold by poor families selected by Lixie. They had just received the training of the palace and had not yet received the edification of the harem, so they had no clear idea of what their useful masters were, and they would not be like the ones in the harem. The maid, who still had unrealistic ideas in her heart, was just right for Yang Ruoxi.
After hearing this, Yang Ruoxi nodded, and then asked Liu He to take them to settle down.
Yang Ruoxi has been thinking about how she can realize her independence while relying on Emperor Tang, but she has never thought of a good way, so she has no choice but to hold back.
"Seeing that you are unhappy, is there any embarrassment? Tell me, and I will share your worries."
Yang Ruoxi shook her head with a smile, she had to think about it herself, she couldn't tell him, otherwise it would be meaningless.
Around dusk, the battle report from the front came back. There were specific battle reports, so there was also a detailed report on which general captured Xue Ju alive.
Li Xie looked at the battle report and had to say that Li Jing was unlucky. He was sent to fight as a centurion captain, but his team was assigned to the defensive side, and then Xue Ju ran for his life in a hurry. Fleeing in his direction, Li Jing captured Xue Ju alive.
Li Yuan was very happy, he admired Li Jing very much, so Li Jing made meritorious service, he was happier than anyone else.
"Dalang, now that Li Jing has made meritorious service, this seventh-rank captain should belong to him, right?" Although the rank of seventh-rank captain is not high, he can still manage 500 people in the army. Ability, I think it will be promoted to the rank of general of the third and fourth ranks soon.
Li Xie nodded helplessly. He was not because of Li Jing's meritorious service. He was naturally happy because of Li Jing's meritorious service. He was because of Li Yuan. This person is typically more pleasing to the eyes of other people's children, right?
The battle with Xue Ju, there is no doubt that the Tang army has achieved quite gratifying achievements in this battle. When the news of the victory on the front line came, Xue Ju and his son had died. Xue Ju committed suicide after hearing the news of his son's death. Yes, no one thought he would commit suicide.
After the good news came to Chang'an, Li Xie, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji led their respective armies, as well as various armies of the imperial court, to fight against the surrounding separatist forces. Among them, Li Shimin fought against Zhu Jie, and Li Yuanji went to Li Jing's side. Support to fight against Li Gui, while Lixie went to fight against Liang Shidu.
Tang Jun fought with various warlord forces, and various warlord forces also fished in troubled waters. During such chaos, Luoyang Wang Shichong, Weixian Yuhua and Li Mi fought, while Hebei Dou Jiande defended against Li Mi and Wang Shichong's sneak attack, while expanding his territory and attacking Under the Liaocheng.After Dou Jiande captured Liaocheng, he turned around and attacked Yu Wenhuaji. He hated Yu Wenhuaji the most. Dou Jiande has three forces, among which Li Mi is in the middle and has the largest territory.
After a few months, Empress Xiao and others in Liaocheng heard news from Chang'an that Empress Xiao was brought to Liaocheng by the rebels with her young grandson, three concubine daughters and a group of court ladies, but Liaocheng was soon captured. Dou Jiande attacked, and Dou Jiande still respected the Sui Dynasty, so he treated Empress Xiao and others very kindly.
But which warlord nowadays does not want to set up his own family, and Dou Jiande treats them kindly at this time, just to win people's hearts, but what will they do in the future?Empress Xiao and the little emperor's grandson are fine, one is old and the other is still young, as long as they bear with it, they can always pass, but what about the three princesses who are about to reach their age?
