Chapter 731 Is Li Shimin's Worry Unnecessary?
In the autumn of the 12th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, due to the excavation of the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Buddhism incited the believers of the people to become mobs. Some officials in Luoyang were not stopped because they belonged to the faction of King Li Ke of Wu, so they did not stop this and secretly contributed to the fire.
The soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry Division rushed to Chang'an and sued, and the King of Zhao from the Western Palace came alone.
On the banks of the Yishui River, he killed Buddhist monks and shocked believers and mobs. Suddenly, civil and military officials from Luoyang led an army to say that they wanted to help the prince do things...
The king smiled and exposed it, and the officials then wanted to rebel.
At that time, 60,000 Luoyang troops were swarming, and there were only 2,000 cavalry soldiers under King Zhao's command. However, the king smiled at the sky and ordered the officials to take off their official hats and go to Chang'an to ask for death.
In this order, military generals are despised and civil officials follow!
Kill the military generals and keep the civil servants!
In another day, Jian took two thousand cavalry as officials, controlled Luoyang with his hands, and King Zhao left alone.
Three days later, there were tea stalls on the streets of Luoyang.
The king and the peddlers and barons had fun together, took off their shoes and sang their feet, and integrated into the people, and only then did they know the reason for Luoyang's trend towards Buddha, so they made it easy for officials to change the direction of Buddha.
The king caused deep thoughts from this incident and wanted to investigate the imperial examinations of the folk scholars.
He did not want to escape into the poor market and saw Lu Wanniang, the daughter of Fengchen's secret door. However, there was a reason for raising orphans, which made Wang Dawei sigh and said that maternal love was like a mountain, and the words of a daughter in the current generation.
He then transferred all officials in Luoyang, hundreds of cavalry warriors, gave rice, and gave horses, and gave copper coins. He ordered the poor to rebuild the market and induce wealthy families to help.
Since ancient times, the rich and poor have been difficult to tolerate, but the king used the emperor's primary school as his bargaining chip, and all the wealthy and gentry were involved in the turmoil.
The Luoyang delegation was frequently issued, and the king only realized that one person could not save the world, and the people could only save themselves as a dragon.
After this incident, the king's actions became more profound, and his subjects were respected. He was praised in books and was known in history as the change in Luoyang.
This change is not a change in Luoyang, but a change in the mind and nature of the king. After this transformation, the dragon finally took off.
...
Five days after the trip to Luoyang!
Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, Tianjiazhuang, west of the city.
A Wei River surging, the river flows through the river all night, and two huge water trucks on the shore are rotating, causing the mills behind to rumble.
At this time, many people gathered on the shore.
Li Shimin stood barefoot with his pants rolled up, standing in a ditch bent over to catch fish. There were also people in the ditches next to him. Looking closely, they were all four-rank or above court bosses.
Suddenly, a loud shouting sounded in the distance, and Cheng Yaojin stood in the ditch while eating his feet and laughed at the sky, haha, "Look, how big fish did I catch?"
He held a bluefish weighing five or six pounds in his hand, struggling and shaking constantly. Old Cheng laughed a few more times and threw the fish onto the shore with a swing.
There were many children on the shore cheering and rattled over and picked up the fish, then ran away to the distance, where many women were setting up campfires to burn water.
Great, great.
These children are not children of ordinary families, they are all descendants of powerful ministers and nobles. Those women are not ordinary women, and one or two are all regular wives from large families.
"Catch fish, catch fish, have a picnic, have a picnic..."
The little guys gave Lao Cheng's fish to the women, and then ran to the next to the ditch. All of these little guys were not allowed to go into the water at the age of five or six. The older guys had already had fun with my father in the ditch.
Han Yue also rolled his trouser legs barefoot. Behind him, seven little guys, five sons and two daughters, Li Xiang was nominally the descendant of Li Chengqian, but at this moment he also followed Han Yue to catch fish.
"Uncle, did you kill someone again when you went to Luoyang this time? Last night, I went to listen to Grandpa Huang explain the government affairs of the court. Grandpa Huang recited the memorial from Luoyang to me..."
Although Li Xiang was not very big, he seemed to be very concerned about government affairs. He leaned over to Han Yue with his face, his eyes shining with curiosity.
Judging from this attitude, it really seems like a child is asking for advice sincerely.
Han Yue caught the fish for a long time but couldn't catch it. He stood up and straightened his waist. He wiped the mud on Li Xiangnen's face with a smile and said, "Who asked you this? Did your father ask you, or did your emperor grandpa ask you?"
Li Xiang's little face twitched and said weakly: "No, no, it's my nephew who wants to ask!"
"I can't even lie, my face turned red."
Han Yue laughed and cursed, raised his hand and slapped the little guy's ass, and said, "Get away, go find your brother Shitou and brother Jiyue, and ask them to take you to catch fish, don't pretend to be a little adult here."
"Uncle, what's going on in Luoyang?"
"You little kid shouldn't ask about Luoyang..."
Han Yue smiled and suddenly jumped into the ditch.
He looked at several ditches in the distance, and suddenly said with a deep meaning: "I have been back for three days. I guess my father has been anxious. Not only is the father anxious, but he is afraid that the civil and military officials in the court will be too nervous. Everyone is waiting for me to answer, but I delayed for three days, ha..."
As he said that, he suddenly raised his foot and walked barefoot all the way along the ridge of the field.
When I reached the edge of a ditch, I suddenly waved my hand and said in a leisurely tone: "Chengqian, Qingque, stop pretending. You two are not the stuff for fishing. You haven't even snatched your hands into the mud, where can you catch a big fish? Come up and pretending to be very tired."
There were two young men squatting in the ditch, one fat and the other thin, which was Li Chengqian and Li Tai. Han Yue exposed the disguise and climbed up from the water in disappointment.
Han Yue continued to move forward barefoot, and after a short while, he passed another ditch and said with a smile: "Don't catch the house, you may not have been able to withstand the cold water for too long. It is late autumn now, so you must not be frozen..."
Below is Fang Xuanling, and there is a large number of civil servants next to him. These old ministers are all big bosses in the court, and they are pretending to catch fish in the water at this time.
Hearing Han Yue expose it directly, Fang Xuanling straightened his waist and smiled. The Tang Dynasty chief minister did not look ugly after being exposed, but instead smiled: "It's really a bit tired to pretend. If your highness doesn't shout, I'm going to go ashore. I've had a cold kneecap in the early years, and I stood in the water and thrust it hurts."
Han Yue laughed and said with a deep meaning: "You are the chief minister of the Tang Dynasty, you are really competent. Come on, let me come on, I'll invite my father to come on..."
The ministers slowly climbed up from the ditch, one or two sighed and beat the old waist.
Han Yue suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance, shouting at a ditch in front: "Father, it's almost enough. I know you want to ask clearly. Let's go ashore and find a place to talk. If you catch a cold after soaking in water for too long, your mother may be beaten to death again."
Li Shimin groaned from a distance, and said with a hint of embarrassment: "You little brat, you finally want to speak. I have been waiting for you for three days. You can really hold it in these three days..."
As the emperor spoke, his figure appeared from the ditch.
After getting ashore, he didn't forget to whisper awesome words, laughing and said, "What's the point of a little cold water? I've never tried anything like a big river. In the late Sui Dynasty, I rebeled and besieged Jiangdu. I was the first to lead the way."
Han Yue laughed and lowered his head to Li Chengqian and Li Tai, saying, "Did you hear it? This is the real dragon! The Yangtze River outside the capital city is turbulent and dozens of miles wide. Even the best sailors cannot swim. But listen to our father, he led the way and swam all the way!"
Li Chengqian and Li Tai laughed, and shook their eyes and grimaced at Han Yue.
At this time, Li Shimin walked towards him and saw that there was nothing good when he saw the faces of his three sons. The emperor raised his foot and thumped it three times, and the three young men were kicked in the butt.
"Boys, are you secretly laughing at me?"
Han Yue and the other two laughed and pretended to salute Li Shimin respectfully. Although their behavior seemed extremely respectful, their faces clearly showed evil spirits.
Li Shimin raised his foot and wanted to kick someone again, but the three of them pretended to scream and all dodged away.
The emperor suddenly laughed, with a hint of satisfaction in his expression, and sighed: "This taste, this taste, is so good..."
He stopped suddenly, his expression became a little melancholy again, and he murmured: "If your grandfather was still alive, it would be great to see that our father and son have a strong relationship. Your uncle has also lived in seclusion in the world, and it would be difficult to find him to come out and gather together."
These are all things that have happened in the past five years!
First, Li Yuan died in the ninth year of Zhenguan, which was the third year after Han Yue had an accident in Jiannan.
Then Li Jiancheng was sad and Li Ke fought for power, but Li Shimin was made to show his incompetence by accusing Hua. One day he scolded Li Shimin and then wandered away and couldn't escape.
Although the emperor knew where Li Jiancheng lived in seclusion, he could not bear to ask him out.
Over the past five years, the royal family affection has become increasingly cold.
Fortunately, Han Yue suddenly returned, and the Weishui River bombarded Chang'an, the three guards in the Western Prefecture killed the wealthy families, Li Shimin woke up in shock, and the power of the Chang'an Buddhist sect was also wiped out.
The long-lost family affection gradually came back with Han Yue's efforts.
For example, today the emperor and his family went to the river to fish, and even the civil and military officials from the court followed. Although Li Shimin and the ministers had something to do in their minds to figure it out, this fishing game highlighted family affection after all.
"Father, let's go there!"
Han Yue suddenly stepped forward to support him and smiled and said, "My mother and the ladies are cooking. Today we will have a fish banquet. My son will tell you about the matter in Luoyang, and at the same time, it will also make the civil and military officials in the court feel at ease..."
Li Shimin laughed and said loudly: "What's there to worry about? Are you afraid that you will harm the country and the people?"
This was obviously insincere, because the emperor asked directly in the next sentence, and said a little impatiently: "In the past, you wanted to build a 100,000 town, but it had not been completed for eight years. This matter almost dragged down the Tang Dynasty. Why are you now even more ruthless decrees?"
The emperor stopped here and couldn't help but pat Han Yue's back with his hands, and said earnestly: "Yue'er, you must do things steadily. This time you crossed, I directly ordered to rebuild all the markets in the world, and to pay rice and grain to every citizen. Have you calculated how much expenses this cost? The fifty Tang treasurys can't hold on. It's not that you blame you for overstepping power, I'm afraid we will be dragged down..."
Han Yue smiled, his shoulders slightly raised, and said lightly: "You can hold on, you can hold on completely, you can hold on, you can never hold on, you can never hold on. Father, don't worry, my son will explain it to you later."
He helped Li Shimin to continue walking forward. Li Chengqian and Li Tai followed behind him. When the father and son were about to arrive at the picnic camp, Li Shimin suddenly waved his hand and pushed Han Yue away, smiling and said, "I am not old yet, so how can I use you to help me? It's better to be careful. Your mother always said she wanted to pull your ears in the past two days."
Han Yue yelled twice and said confidently: "I will explain it later. I will guarantee that my mother will not do this."
