Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

His Majesty Li Er had a feast for the officials at noon. After being congratulated by hundreds of officials, he drank a few more cups, and then boasted about his younger brother with them. Said that his younger brother is getting better and better, and he has become more and more sensible lately, and he is finally worthy of the instructions of the emperor before his death!

When all the officials listened, they felt that His Majesty Li Er's eyes were his own brother, how he felt that his brother was good. Ask them to say that although Li Yuanying has changed a little bit, he can never use the word "sensible" to describe it.

At least, they had heard that Li Yuanying had read out his ideas in school recently, and from time to time they went to the Imperial College to discuss issues with the supervising students. This squad was excellent at picking and pinching, and it almost triggered a gang fight in the Imperial College.

Had it not been for a friend of his who had a good reputation in the Imperial College, he would have become the target of the prison students. After all, this kid specializes in raising tricks, and laughs at others triumphantly when he is stumped. No matter how good his temper is, he will bear it. Can't help it! I heard people say that every time this kid finishes picking things up, he still has to say: "You guys, none of them are as good as Brother Wei. Do you know Brother Wei? It's Wei Ying, the grandson of Zheng Guogong and Wei Zheng. Although he has not yet entered the Imperial College, he will soon It's in!"

Kong Yingda talked to Wei Zheng about this in private and told him to have some preparations in his heart. After Li Yuanying picked up the matter, his grandson had become a target before entering the Imperial College! However, Kong Yingda also comforted Wei Zheng that his grandson would not be alone, and Li Yuanying would have to eat his own fruit sooner or later!

Therefore, Wei Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth after hearing His Majesty Li Er's drink. He didn't know what to say. That kid is smart, that is, he acted too unscrupulously. If your Majesty Li Er gets used to it, I don't know what he will be used to! Therefore, Wei Zheng is very much in favor of letting Li Yuanying and Li Zhi take the entrance examination for the Imperial College together in two days.

His Majesty Li Er saw that the reaction brought by his praise of his younger brother was not very enthusiastic, so he immediately let people show the picture of "Hui Feng He Chang" that he wrote in the morning for everyone to see.

His Majesty Li Er is a very narcissistic person. He usually likes to be praised by others. When he is excited, he will boast "Although I am an emperor, I often take care of the life of a general." Of course, afterwards, he was told in a letter, saying, how could he who was an emperor be greedy for merit and grab merit from his courtiers?

This time Baiguan saw the character and recognized it. This is the big character written by the imperial brush. Because of the special day, even Wei Zheng didn't say anything to be disappointed, and along with the others, he praised the word well and had a good meaning. The harmony of the breeze and the smooth wind does not mean that Shi Renzheng will change the weather and let the people rest and live and work in peace and contentment!

His Majesty Li Er listened to Baiguan picking up various angles to praise his characters, from the form to the meaning of the characters, and he was in a very good mood. However, this was not his goal. He waited until the compliment was over before asking, "What do you think of this paper?"

When asked by His Majesty Li Er, the others were immediately stunned. Paper? Doesn't this paper look special? Isn't it the same as ordinary paper?

Changsun Wuji boldly stood up and said, "Shuchen is clumsy and didn't see the difference between this paper. Please also ask your Majesty to help me solve my doubts."

His Majesty Li Er patted his hand and laughed: "You guys haven't seen the difference? That's right, this paper is not much different from the paper we usually use, but the cost is less than 10% of the original!"

Everyone was shocked, especially civil servants such as Kong Yingda, who were very excited when they heard the words: "Your Majesty is serious?"

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "This is the birthday gift offered by my younger brother to me. Naturally, it is true. For the papermaking method, Yuan Ying has already been dedicated to me, and the Ministry of Engineering will send some people to Yuan Ying in the next day. Take a lesson and make this new paper earlier, so that all students in the world can use cheap paper!"

Kong Yingda didn't expect that the paper was actually made by Li Yuanying, and his mood was a little complicated, and he even doubted his own eyes.

In the past, he felt that Li Yuanying was stubborn and unbearable, but after Wei Zheng and Xiao Deyan taught, Li Yuanying actually showed a different kind of talent. Reading, doing things, and writing articles all reveal the wisdom that far exceeds that of his peers. Later, Li Yuanying said, "Let everyone in the world have books to read." He felt that Li Yuanying was talking big words, and secretly felt that he was not afraid to flash his tongue. He didn't want Li Yuanying to build a library first, and now he also offers such a way to greatly reduce the cost. New paper!

Does he really missed him and missed such a good student?

Kong Yingda thought about it again. Li Yuanying was about to enter the Imperial College. He would be a student of the Imperial College at that time, and he would not be a student at that time! Kong Yingda had such an idea that he could still sit still. After the birthday banquet, he chased up with His Majesty Li Er, and discussed with His Majesty Li Yuanying to take the exam after the new year, so that they could study with other supervisors in the spring.

His Majesty Li Er's drunkenness was over half of the time. Hearing what Kong Yingda said, I knew that Kong Yingda was seeing his younger brother's ability and anxious. His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly and readily agreed: "Okay, I will ask someone to inform them."

The literati's face was thin, Kong Yingda was a little hot when his Majesty Li Er smiled so much. But when he thought that the Imperial College was about to usher in new changes, he didn't care about this little embarrassment. After his Majesty Li Er agreed, he went back and asked the students to make preparations together. The examination papers come to test Li Yuanying and others.

In the evening, it is the time for the royal family to gather. Everyone has prepared a birthday gift for His Majesty Li Er. Although it may not be very expensive, it is all carefully prepared.

Li Chengqian is a prince, and if he gives too much birthday gift, he will be sprayed; if he gives too lightly, he will be sprayed! Therefore, the things he prepared were quite satisfactory. They didn't overthrow, and they didn't mean that they couldn't take them out. His Majesty Li Er looked at it and said nothing, so he slightly nodded and let the people take it away.

Li Tai had heard that His Majesty Li Er and the officials showed off the birthday gift presented by Li Yuanying at noon, and he secretly hated Li Yuanying who came out according to the rules. If no one else gave it, what's the matter if you give it first by yourself? You will be the limelight! Li Tai gritted his teeth and put away the jade sculpture he had originally prepared, and took out the "Kuo Di Zhi" that he had repaired for several years.

He doesn't believe it. Can the new paper produced by craftsmen be better than the "Kuo Di Zhi" that he has refined for several years? The emperor must like his geography better!

After Li Ke presented the gift, Li Tai personally praised many thick volumes of "The Geography", and stepped forward to let His Majesty Li Er read it.

His Majesty Li Er will give Xiao Deyan and others to Li Tai, precisely because Li Tai wants to repair this "Kuo Di Zhi". Hearing that the book has been repaired by Li Tai, he was satisfied. He picked it up and looked at a volume roughly. The book was brilliant, well-documented, not boring to read, and well-written, and immediately Longyan rejoiced, boasting: "It's my son!"

As soon as other people saw this battle, they knew that no matter how good their manners were, it would be useless. This must be Li Er's favorite birthday gift. The fourth child is so cruel, he actually used this "Kuo Di Zhi" which has been repaired for several years to congratulate His Majesty Li Er on his birthday!

Li Chengqian looked at everyone's reaction without any expression on his face. He is not a likable child, and it is impossible for him to be as close to his father and son as an ordinary father and son. There is no comparison.

It's the fourth child. I'm afraid that after knowing that Li Yuanying presented the paper at noon, I can't sit still. I must fight for the best son in the world. Only then did he offer the "Kuo Di Zhi" at the bottom of the box.

Li Yuanying’s position is very close to Li Chengqian. Others are watching his Majesty Li Er and Li Tai's father and son affectionately. He approached Li Chengqian and mentioned his thoughts: "Chengqian, should you ask Master Xiao? coming?"

When Li Yuanying heard Li Yuanying's mention, Li Chengqian also remembered Li Yuanying's proposal earlier. He said: "My father has his own plan to stay or leave the old bachelor Xiao, how can we mention it." If he goes to open his mouth, others don't know how to arrange him!

Li Yuanying hates iron but steel: "If you don't tell me, how do others know that you want it!" This is really why my nephew is not in a hurry to die of uncle! He gave Li Chengqian a detailed account of the benefits of asking people, "Xiang'er has reached the age to study, and you also let Master Xiao teach him. I think no one is as good as Master Xiao. Don’t believe me, just take a look. I, I was only taught by Master Xiao. Anyway, you are not being scolded for a day or two. What is the point of letting them scold again? Is it better than letting Xianger be able to enlighten you?"

Li Yuanying lowered her voice to encourage him, and Li Chengqian felt that it was the reason. If he doesn't fight, what will his son do in the future? He is no longer alone. He has a princess and an elephant. He has to do what he needs, and he has to ask what he needs.

The example of Li Yuanying is really good. Li Yuanying knew what he used to be like Li Chengqian. There are not one or two people who have been tossed with shame and anger at Li Yuanying and vowed to die and never teach Li Yuanying this kind of bastard. But after Wei Zheng and Xiao Deyan taught them, Li Yuanying became more sensible and read the book better. I heard that he ran to the Imperial College to "talk and fight against Confucianism" without showing any timidity!

Li Chengqian nodded in response: "Then I'll talk to the emperor when I turn around."

Li Yuanying said: "That's right, you dad, you have to make more plans for the elephant, and you have to pick the best for him in everything."

Li Chengqian responded very well.

Li Yuanying had overwhelmed her nephew's addiction, and she couldn't sit still. She wandered to find a bunch of dwarf grand nieces and grand nieces to play, and taught them to go up to congratulate His Majesty Li Er together. Li Yuanying said: "You don't need to prepare gifts. Look at so many people in front of you who want to give things to your emperor grandfather. We can practice a special birthday message on the spot to make your emperor grandfather happy."

Li Xiang first responded.

Li Xiaoyuan rushed to Li Yuanying's side and hugged him to stand on his thigh.

Others were a little hesitant at first. After hearing the opinions of two cousins ​​from the best background, they immediately responded bravely.

Li Yuanying took them to hide outside and pointed them to rehearsal.

Outside, Li Yuanying counted a little, and there were several grand-nephews and grand-nephews who were just talking. He taught them to line up by grade and height, and asked them to read a word. Li Xiang came to the beginning and said "Shou and Tian Qi", Li Xiaoyuan then took "Qi Tian Hong Fu", and then down, followed "Fu Ru "East China Sea", so one after another, neatly connected in a series.

Li Yuanying squatted down to teach them. This is called Solitaire. Everyone is a royal child. One after another, everyone can unite to become a dragon. Without anyone, we should take care of each other. After teaching, Li Yuanying asked them to practice a few times in a low voice, and then one by one said: "If anyone forgets the words, the low voice in front will remind the others in the back. This is not cheating. This is called unity and knows it!"

They are all two or three-year-old Xiaodouding, who have not been so solemnly entrusted with such a heavy responsibility. They are all very excited and happily agreed: "I know!"

So the others offered birthday gifts one by one, and Li Xiang led a bunch of dwarf peas to line up in front of Li Er's Majesty, and performed the solitaire to Li Er's majesty. There was an emperor who was born in a fief and grew up in a fief. He had never seen so many people on occasions, some stage fright, and if he really forgot his words, the person next to him quietly bit his ears to remind him.

Although it was a little twists and turns, a birthday solitaire was perfectly linked. His Majesty Li Er was middle-aged, and he liked his children and grandchildren around his knees, and his son was almost old. Of course, this group of little peas made him especially happy. His Majesty Li Er hugged Li Xiang on his knees, and took Li Xiaoyuan into his arms. He recognized the other grandchildren one by one, and then asked Li Xiang, "Who taught you?" I know it wasn't this group of little dolls who came up with it.

Li Xiang and Li Xiaoyuan asked you to repeat Li Yuanying's words to His Majesty Li Er, one by one. When it comes to remembering what they said, they are the best at it!

After hearing this, His Majesty Li second lovingly patted the two grandchildren who he saw the most: "You Yaoyao is right, you must remember what you Yaoyao said." He also praised the other grandchildren and asked someone to give them. Rewards.

All of them are children, and they are naturally happy to be rewarded, and happily escorted by the waiter, they ran back to the father and mother and concubine. The other Li Yuanying who did not let their children follow when they came to beg people were all regretful at this time. They knew that Li Yuanying was stinging such a chance for the children to show their faces, and they should also let their children follow!

Li Yuanying didn't care what other people thought, so she sat down to eat and drink when she had enough play. After eating, she took the small carrot head and the small beans around to play wildly. He didn't go back to his residence happily until the family banquet was over.

Liu Baolin longed for his son's return. Seeing Li Yuanying's face was flushing, he took his hand and asked in concern: "Drinking?"

Li Yuanying said, "I didn't drink it. They played with the elephant for a while."

Liu Baolin wanted to persuade Li Yuanying not to play too much. It would be bad if the emperor and grandson knocked him off. But think about his son’s stubborn temper, Liu Baolin swallowed the words back, and only asked Li Yuanying if he ever gave a birthday gift. What's wrong.

Li Yuanying said: "That's right, I heard Cheng Qian say that at noon, Brother Huang also showed off the good things I gave him with Old Wei. Brother Huang likes it very much!"

As the mother and son were talking, the reward from Li Er's Majesty came down. Li Yuanying happily took Liu Baolin to receive the reward, and said to Liu Baolin: "Look, Brother Huang is really satisfied, right." He took the things that His Majesty Li Er asked someone to send one by one, look at that one. , I feel that they are all my favorites, and I am overjoyed, I feel that Brother Huang really understands him.

Seeing that Li Yuanying was so happy, Liu Baolin felt relieved that the reward given by His Majesty Li Er was really rich enough to make others jealous. She smiled and looked at Li Yuanying and told her what kind of treasures Li Er's Majesty sent her. This one said, "I didn't give this to the emperor last time" and the other said, "I have been greedy for a long time." Finally, I helped Li Yuanying to collect them one by one, and kept them as family heirlooms according to Li Yuanying's intention.

After Li Yuanying finished saving the baby, she still murmured with Liu Baolin: "Just now, Qingque presented the book "The Geography" to the emperor. I don’t know if this book is good or not. Master Xiao compiled it. It should be very good. Wait until the emperor finishes reading me. Go and have a look!"

Li Yuanying was willing to read, but Liu Baolin certainly agreed and nodded straightly. She doesn't understand too many principles, but it's always right to see and learn more.

The author has something to say:

His Majesty Li Er: You praise, praise hard, I will tell you that the praise is wrong after the praise!

Baiguan: Shameless! ! !

Little Prince: Brother Huang, I heard that Qingque compiled a book (rubbing hands)

Fourth nephew: Go away! go away! ! !
