The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"There are many people who are richer than those in the palace. This is a fact. Can an emperor be angry about this? That's too narrow-minded and without generosity." Li Yuan said, "Our Li family is also from an aristocratic family. I know very well how deep the foundation of the aristocratic family is. Erlang also knows very well. Therefore, you don't need to be so shy about these things."

Li Yuan said this with deep meaning. He really doesn't care about these things.

There are so many things that are not in the palace. Can't we allow people to have them?

If there are things outside, they will be spread to the palace in the future, and the palace will have them. Isn't that enough? It's such a simple truth and such a simple matter.

Look how scared this child is. What's the big deal?

"My child, you grew up outside, you are smart, and you often have many new ideas. This is a good thing. If you have any new ideas, just go ahead and do it. Look, you have already made so many new things in your house. How great! This tea has brought so much income to the palace. Not only me, but your second brother's treasury has also been enriched because of this." Li Yuan said with emotion: "Now I am in Da'an Palace. I can't help you with anything else, but with my name, you can do it with confidence. If the sky falls, your uncle will support you."

Li Yuan took Li Fu's hand and admonished him earnestly.

His own descendants, his own children, he loves them too much, how can he make his children feel uneasy because of these trivial matters?

"Besides, you are filial. If you send any good things to me, the palace will have enough. Not only me, but your second brother's side, you also send them there. Your second brother will not be petty." Li Yuan smiled.

Li Fu was so moved when he heard Li Yuan's words that even his eyes felt a little hot.

At this moment, Li Yuan was like an old man from an ordinary family, loving his own children. He had no imperial airs and put away his usual majesty.

"Uncle, I will never forget your great kindness to my nephew." Li Fu looked at Li Yuan with a moved face.

"Silly child, you are my nephew." Li Yuan smiled and patted Li Fu on the back: "It's a big festival, be good."

"Oh, good." Li Fu smiled.

Li Fu quickly asked the servants to show Li Yuan the things they brought one by one, and then handed them to the eunuchs, telling them which things should be eaten frequently and which things should not be eaten in excess, and asked them to remind them not to let the emperor be greedy.

After working in Da'an Palace for a while, the eunuchs outside came in and said that an old minister had come here.

"Uncle, since the people you invited have arrived, I will not stay here any longer. I will go to Liangyi Hall to see my second brother first." Li Fu said.

"Okay, go ahead." Li Yuan responded.

Li Fu left the hall, and another group of servants were waiting outside the hall.

With them, Li Fu went to Liangyi Hall again.

Taiji Hall was preparing for the lunch banquet, and Li Shimin was handling government affairs in Liangyi Hall.

However, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Li Shimin mainly looks at the memorials sent to the court from all over the country.

In addition, he also has to send people to give clothes to local officials.

These have been arranged long ago. As an emperor, he only needs to speak, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites will naturally do the work.

There are almost no court officials who came to Liangyi Hall today. Even if there are, they have reported early and hurried back to change clothes to prepare for the banquet.

Therefore, when Li Fu arrived, there were no other officials in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the King of Jingyang is here."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

It was the same old story. Li Fu was not as free as he was in the Da'an Palace in Liangyi Hall. He could go in whenever he wanted.

What was being discussed in this place? If he accidentally heard it, he would know a lot. How embarrassing it would be.

It was mainly because he was thin-skinned. He didn't care about his elders. The emperor at most would make a few jokes, but in front of his peers, he had to be polite.

Following the eunuch into Liangyi Hall, Li Fu asked his servants to wait in the corridor outside the hall.

At this time, there was no need to send the gifts to him. Just inform Li Shimin and give them to the eunuchs.

"Second brother, have a good Dragon Boat Festival." Li Fu bowed and congratulated as he walked.

"Looking at your posture, you must have just come from Da'an Palace." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Every time I enter the palace, I have to go to see the emperor first."

"The emperor is my elder, so it's my duty." Li Fu smiled and walked into the palace. Without Li Shimin's words, he would find a place to sit down.

"The banquet at noon will take a while." Li Shimin said, "It's just right, stay here with me and wait."

"There are things outside the door for you, let this eunuch arrange them."

Li Shimin looked at the eunuchs around him.The eunuch beside him said, "You go and arrange it."

"Yes."

"The clothes I brought for you are also among them." Li Fu added.

"Well, it's okay. I asked someone to remind you, and it was worth reminding you."

"That's right, there are festivals to celebrate. This year is different from previous years. This year, my identity is different. My behavior and interpersonal relationships are definitely different from when I was a commoner." Li Fu smiled and said, "Back then, I was still a commoner. I just muddled through the festivals. Except for the New Year, there were not so many things to pay attention to on weekdays. Now it's different. This is the first time I know that clothes should be given to Your Majesty on the Dragon Boat Festival, and court officials will also give clothes to each other."

Li Fu really didn't know these customs, so it was a good thing that he didn't make a fool of himself.

"You don't know, so I'll remind you about today's banquet." Li Shimin said with a smile: "During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, literary scholars were present in the court, and their writing was elegant and graceful. Emperor Wen of Wei also invited poets to write poems and odes. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty was also as elegant as ever. It also imitated Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Wen of Wei, held a royal banquet in the palace, invited ministers to recite poems and compose odes."

"Ah?" Li Fu was stunned for a moment.

Reciting poems and composing odes.

On the spot!

Immediately, Li Fu began to search for poems related to the Dragon Boat Festival in his mind.

He thought about it, but couldn't remember it.

What if he accidentally encountered it at the banquet?

Write poems! How could he do that!

He couldn't even remember it when he copied it now.

People are like this. The more anxious they are to remember something, the less they can use their brains.

I memorized so many poems when I was in school, but now I can't remember a single word when I search for poems related to the Dragon Boat Festival in my mind.

How come he returned it to the teacher right after graduation?

"What? Did you study in vain?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"My dear brother, where have I read a few serious books? Even if I have, it's over after I read them. I can't remember them at all." Li Fu spread his hands helplessly: "Reading, not memorizing."

He is not like Li Yuan, who is well-read, eloquent, and can quote classics.
