Chapter 66: Caught off guard

The Marquis of Lintong is going to get married, and he will marry the two together. Such a powerful news spread wildly to Chang'an City almost at the same time as it came out, and immediately replaced the news that the eldest son of the Marquis of Luyang had a stroke and almost hung up, and topped the gossip list. Invitations were sent out in the morning, and a large number of guests visited at noon. In the era when there was no bulk SMS, this speed of transmission was amazing.

Yun Xiao was obviously a little unprepared, and the locust-like swarming of guests alone kept the Yun family's cooks busy. Lao Yu was even more busy with his feet on the ground, arranging for people to go to the east and west markets to buy, and at the same time sending men from the shop back to help. Things like the wedding of the head of the family must not be sloppy, and it must be done in a prosperous manner. If you mess up, you won't have a place to put your face as the manager.

"Hou Ye is really, and he doesn't say a word. I didn't even have a preparation at home. ”

Lao Yu complained while sending people away.

"Chief, where are the gifts going to go?"

"Receive the treasury and let the bear watch."

The aristocracy of the Han Dynasty was particular and never ate white food. There were no poems or paintings in those days, large pieces of agate, three-foot-tall coral, and more large boxes of brass. The heroism written on the gift list, how much XXX is gold. The way of giving gifts is surprisingly consistent, and the gift is handed over to say something like congratulations. He sat on his seat and waited for the food to be served.

The Yun family's food is well-known in Chang'an, and this time it can be regarded as a chance to taste it openly.

Yun Xiao was also very busy, and he didn't expect the guests to come so quickly. The invitation can clearly state that the wedding date will be fifteen days later. Fortunately, Liu Cheng can help support for a while, otherwise Yun Xiao really doesn't know what to do.

"I said, "It will be fifteen days before I can do it." Why are so many people here now, why are the rules of Chang'an different? ”

The guests patted their bellies and walked away satisfied, and Yun Xiao threw himself into the chair. Pick up the teapot and pour it into your mouth.

"Boy, you don't know yet. Li Ben was dealt with this morning by the court, and the discussion was a big deal. The dignified big order, one of the nine Qings ended up like this because of the impeachment of you. I know that you are favored, which is why so many guests go to the pole to scold you. Look, you've been busy for the past ten days. These days, His Majesty has been a great hero, and Chang'an is crowded with marquis and generals. I guess I'm going to come and talk to you, the celebrity in front of you. ”

I finally understood why so many people flattered themselves today, it turned out that it was because the tiger had just killed a chicken. The monkeys saw it, so they stammered with the fox in front of the tiger, hoping that when the tiger bit him, the little fox could help him intercede.

The Han Dynasty has never been governed by the rule of law, and an edict of the emperor is more effective than any law. According to the current words, Dahan is his family. The final interpretation of all laws belongs to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Yun Xiao sympathized with these people, but hated them in his heart. Now that he is in the holy family, these people are talking to themselves, if they change places and look at the tragic situation in Li Ben's family, they will know. Anyone who can flatter is a good hand when he falls into the well. I can think of it with my ass, and now the Li family must be crying all day.

I wasn't in the mood to pay attention to these guys anymore, so I had some lunch and entered the palace. He is now Liu Xiaozhu's teacher, and hiding in the Qingjing Palace is a good place.

Liu Qizheng shook his head and listened to Liu Xiaozhu's three-character scripture. Ever since he overheard the words recited by Liu Xiaozhu, Liu Qi was completely shocked.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching, you are specialized, the former Mengmu, choose the neighbor. The child doesn't learn ......" is only a few hundred words, but it speaks to the truth of the world. Liu Qi became more and more interested in Yunxiao, what kind of person could teach such a knowledgeable student? His teacher should be a great sage like Guiguzi, and it's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to visit such a great sage. However, to get such a disciple is also a blessing for the great Han.

"Yu'er, what else did Master Yun give you?"

"Oh, Master Yun said that the people live on food. As long as the people of the world are fed and clothed, no one will instigate rebellion, and the Liu family's world can be passed on from generation to generation. Father, what does it mean to be well fed and clothed. The child is well fed and warmly dressed every day. Is there anyone hungry in this world? ”

"Uh...... This"

Liu Qi was a little powerless in the face of his son's problems, after the uproar of the seven princes. The treasury was starved to death, and the Huns were eyeing the border. The Eastern European countries in the south took in King Wu, and it was obvious that they also had a heart of disobedience. This world is really full of internal and external troubles, how to say. Do you want to sue your son, there are still many people in the world who are gnawing tree bark and eating grass roots. Digging wild vegetables is also the main means of filling the shortage of food rations!

"You are my son, and you will not starve. But there are still many people in the world who are hungry. ”

Looking at his son's innocent eyes, Liu Qi had to tell the truth. The flattering language of the courtiers was not used to deceive this son, who was full of naivety.

"Ah, there are still people in the world who are hungry. Father, I don't eat tonight and give it to those who are hungry. Master Yun said, the food of the king is divided into the worries of the king. Yu'er is the son of his father, and he should help his father relieve his troubles. ”

Liu Xing looked at his youngest son with a smile, only six years old to be able to say such a thing. It really shocked him, and he couldn't imagine what this child would be like when he grew up.

"Oops," a palace maid screamed from outside.

Liu Qi pushed open the window and looked out, and a mud egg flew towards Liu Qi's door with a whoosh. Qiandu, who was quick-eyed, hurriedly pushed Liu Qi away, and the mud egg hit Qiandu's nose with a strong wind. Qiandu covered his nose and tears kept flowing, and blood kept gushing out along his fingers, dripping on the floor.

"Someone, find out who caught me." Liu Qi was furious and pointed to the guard's nose and said.

"No" was so frightened that the guard who was in a cold sweat hurriedly ran out, eager to immediately dismantle the guy who caused the trouble.

The troublemaker was found, but no one dared to dismantle it. Because this person is the eldest son of His Majesty, Liu Rong. The guards presented the tools of the crime with both hands, a cowhide band bullet bow.

Liu Qi pulled his hands a few times, and he was so angry that he slammed on the ground.

"If you don't learn all day long, just get some of this. Thanks to today's courtiers, the courtiers still guarantee you to be the crown prince, and the time for the Han Dynasty to have a prince like you is just around the corner. ”

"Father, it's not all to blame. This slingshot was given to the child by Wang Meiren's younger brother, and this mud egg is still rubbed by Yu'er. It's really unreasonable for you to punish me instead of punishing them. Liu Rong stiffened his neck and argued, ignoring Liu Qi's increasingly ugly face.

"Who taught you to talk to me like that? Someone came to find Concubine Li for me. ”

Liu Qi waved his hand angrily, and one of the guards ran out quickly.

"You're embarrassed to say that you're eleven years old. How old is he? Not yet six years old, look at your brother and look at you. Hit the palace maid's ass with a slingshot, this is what you should do as a prince. Your mother, that's how your master taught you? Shen Tujia is also a person who has been the prime minister, that's how he taught you? Looks like I'm going to find you another master. ”

Liu Qi kept pacing in the hall irritably. The Queen Mother's words at the celebration banquet made Liu Qi uncomfortable. If it weren't for Dou Ying helping him resolve the crisis, I'm afraid it would have been a complete thing at this time. King Liang has tens of thousands of Liang soldiers in his hands, and if he becomes the prince, I am afraid that sooner or later he will cause trouble to Xiao Wall. However, the ancestral teachings of the chief are there, and he is the beneficiary of this system, and if he blatantly changes the ancestral system, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Even if the ancestor established this Liu Rong, can he sit still in this country? There are Huns watching outside, and there is such a strong uncle as King Liang inside. Liu Wu was five years younger than himself, and it seemed unlikely that he would die in front of him.

The queen mother's temperament, Liu Qi understands it too well. The mother understands her son and gets along for decades. The son doesn't understand his mother, the queen mother has hurt Liu Wu to the bone since she was a child. If he was not the eldest son, Liu Wu would be young. It's really two to say who sits on top of the throne now. Once the Queen Mother has this thought, it is really more difficult to suppress it than to ascend to the sky.

"Father, don't punish Brother Rong. Brother Rong took me to fly a kite, and he said that if I jumped off the city wall with a kite on my back, I would be able to fly. ”

"What?" Liu Qi's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Rong in disbelief.

"The master taught me that the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. The clouds in the sky are so big that they can fly, but they can't fly when they're so small. There is no strong wind these days, and when there is a strong wind, the child asks his father to see for himself. ”

"You rebel."

Liu Qi kicked Liu Rong to the ground.

"I will kill you today, lest you destroy my Liu family in the future."

Liu Qi scolded while looking for the guy who took advantage of him.

Concubine Li grabbed Liu Qi's arm with tears and howls.

"Your Majesty, you just killed your concubine's own brother. If you want to kill Rong'er, you will kill the concubine's concubine first. ”

Liu Qi put down his hand dejectedly, it is impossible for many years of husband and wife to say that there is no love at all. Remembering that this morning he had just issued an edict to sentence Li Ben to Dapi, Liu Qi's heart softened.

"Take it back and discipline it well. Shen Tujia can't discipline him, so let's change another master. ”

Liu Qi was a little depressed, and waved his hand to let Concubine Li leave with Liu Rong.

Yun Xiao was far away when he heard the noise in Xinyuzhai, and Concubine Li was left out in the cold. Wang Meiren went to Changle Palace to wait for the Queen Mother. No one in this palace dared to be so arrogant except for Liu Qi, and Liu Qi, who was furious, could not be approached, this was common sense Yun Xiao decided not to look for this bad luck.

I found a huge Taishan stone, rested for a while with my back against the shade, and waited for Liu Qiqi to finish his temper and then go in.
