Chapter 259: The Way Out (I)
When it comes to spring ploughing, Zhuangzi is busier than His Majesty Li Er's sacrifice to the sky, as the head of the family, Xuan Shijing must also hold a sacrificial ceremony on Zhuangzi, and then each family will start to plough the ground and sow seeds, who cares about those houses that have not been built at this time? Spring ploughing is a year's livelihood.
Xuan Shijing and Fang Yiai are both captains of the horses, and they will go to the palace tomorrow to attend the royal family banquet.
Speaking of the family banquet in the palace this year, I'm afraid it's going to be embarrassing.
The family banquet in the palace was held in the Lin De Palace, and His Majesty Li Er, the eldest grandson queen, and the four concubines, plus the more favored concubines in the harem, there was only the prince who returned to Chang'an for the New Year, and then the princess and the concubine.
And said that this year's family banquet in the palace is embarrassing, it is Li Zhi and Li Su.
One of the two was abolished, the other was sentenced to death, and this year is the last time they will participate in the family banquet in the palace, so the identity of the two is very embarrassing at the banquet.
Why did the two convicted princes also attend the family feast? This is also proposed by Empress Changsun, firstly, to let Li Su and Concubine Yang see each other again, and come, she herself will also meet Li Zhi again, after this year, after missing this opportunity, that is, she may never see each other again in her life.
What kind of place is the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, it sounds like the mansion of the princes for the elderly, but it doesn't sound good, it is the place where people are confined, a luxurious prison cell.
Li Zhi entered the Sixteen Princes' Mansion not as the King of Jin, under such conditions, even if he didn't worry about eating and drinking, Li Zhi couldn't pass this pass in his heart, and he was afraid that it wouldn't take a few years before his body collapsed.
This can be regarded as a reprieve, giving Li Zhi a more comfortable way to die? Most people can also think of such a situation, the prince in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, the bigger the heart, the more nourishing the life.
Li Su is going to die after this year, Li Zhi is imprisoned, and these two people appear at the royal family banquet, how can they not be embarrassed?
"You say, before the King of Shu is executed, will there be a turnaround in this matter?" Talking about the banquet in Ming'er's palace, Fang Yiai asked about Li Su.
"What do you think?" Xuan Shijing looked at Marshal Zhao and wanted to hear what he had to say.
"Enough." Marshal Zhao shook his head.
Xuan Shijing smiled: "The marshal has grown a lot in the past few years, and it is very different from the tendon when I first met." ”
"Huh? When Hou Ye first met me, he thought I was a tendon? Marshal Zhao was stunned.
"It's almost, it's no different from those rich kids in Chang'an City, it's just that they know more about it than them." Xuan Shijing said.
"Hey, you two, off topic." Seeing that the two of them were chatting about the time they first met, Fang Yiai hurriedly spoke out to bring the topic back.
"What the marshal can guess, why don't you understand?" Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Second Brother Fang, don't forget, Li Su is involved in the old immortals of the former Sui, and they unite to create his Lao Tzu's rebellion, and secondly, Li You and Yin Hongzhi will inevitably die for breakfast, is there anything special about Li Su?" Moreover, Li Su's impression in the heart of His Majesty Li Er is simply extremely bad, if he is more motivated, don't go to the scourge, honest, well-behaved, maybe he can still leave a life at this time. ”
"This is Your Majesty's general account, the crimes accumulated by the King of Shu, it is difficult to escape the mouth of the people of the world if he does not die." Marshal Zhao said.
"That's it."
"What about King Jin?" Fang Yiai asked.
"King Jin, it's about Your Majesty's face, and I don't have anything to say about it." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
Face? As soon as Xuan Shijing said this, Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao were puzzled, what does this have to do with His Majesty's face.
Regarding the matter of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, let alone these two people, even the courtiers outside don't know much, do you really think that Li Zhi was arrested because he ran away with more than a dozen carts of goods? Or was it captured after expanding armaments in Minzhou?
That's what His Majesty Li Er said about his face.
was put on a forgiveness hat by his own son, can he talk about this?
"Don't ask about King Jin, anyway, King Jin won't die for a while, and it doesn't have much to do with us, don't mess around, you know?" Xuan Shijing warned the two: "Whether it is now or in the future, if someone asks you to speak or do something for King Jin, pretend to be stupid, don't throw yourself in." ”
Fang Yiai and Marshal Zhao nodded, and they also heard that the affairs of King Jin were not ordinary, there must be something that could not be said, and it was these things that doomed King Jin to tragedy.
The servants sat downstairs in the hall, while the three women went upstairs, not knowing what to talk about.
"By the way, I've been helping you keep an eye on the news in Shuzhong these days." Fang Yiai said: "There was no movement a while ago, maybe the news here has not passed yet, and now that everyone is dead, there is really something different in Shuzhong." ”
"Those people?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"It's very likely, the news you got is not too accurate, and it has been specially checked by people, if it can be solved in Shu, there is no need to drag it on, let them flow into Chang'an, more tricky, Chang'an is not Shuzhong, even if the action is a little bigger, the local officials know that behind this matter is a Hou Ye, or a colt, open one eye and close one eye, and it will pass, maybe you can make some merit afterwards, Chang'an is different, the water is too deep, there are too many old foxes, it is easy to pull out trouble." Fang Yiai explained.
Xuan Shijing nodded: "That's right, now I can't tell how many people look at me unpleasantly." ”
"It's not that it's not pleasing to the eye, it's that the Shenhou Mansion is not pleasing to the eye." Marshal Zhao smiled and said: "The Shenhou Mansion is like a special case in Chang'an, nominally it is a department of the imperial court, but in fact, no one in the imperial court can reach out, so ......" said this, Marshal Zhao pouted: "Some people can't take the Shenhou Mansion, so they can only be regarded as enemies." ”
"It's not easy, the Tang Dynasty has been going uphill all these years, and the situation in the court and China has never been one-sided, it is precisely because of this that the situation is complicated, the old and new forces are alternate, and it is normal to be unsure that the Shenhou Mansion is regarded as an enemy."
Today's Datang, the influence of the old family is not as good as day by day, some of the older generation are fine in the court, one day, they will leave the power center of the Tang Dynasty, and how many descendants can take over their burden and continue to be brilliant in the court?
For obvious example, Du Ruhui used to be a big man in the court, and after Du Ruhui's death, the door of the Du family was not as good as before, and Wang Qi ......
