When Yang Lue returned from an adventure in the Southern Zhou Dynasty to visit Li Xuan, who knew that the people from Jingtai were squatting nearby and discovered him immediately. After killing those people, Yang Lue asked Li Xuan to go north to Chang'an.
As soon as Li Xuan left, Yang Lue, who had no worries about his future, was ready to ruthlessly kill that family to avenge the young master's suffering in the past few years. But when he thought of the young master's residual affection for the family, Yang Lue finally held back.
A murderous intention.
But it was too dangerous for the family to stay in Xiaohe Village. Once discovered by the camera, Li Xuan's identity would be exposed. Yang Luedang immediately ordered more than ten guards to escape with the family.
Southern Xinjiang was unsafe, and northern Xinjiang was even more unsafe. In Yang Lue's view, the road to Shu was difficult and few people were willing to enter. In this way, Yang Ding and his family were taken to Shu to live in seclusion, which was regarded as the end of the friendship that had lasted more than ten years.
Yang Lue declined the emperor's reward this time, saying that he was used to freedom and did not want to be restricted. Such a person without official status could enter and leave the palace freely.
Lin Feibao came to see him today and mentioned this matter. "Should I inform His Majesty of that family's situation?"
Yang Lue shook his head, his eyes slightly cold, "Your Majesty is very affectionate, cares about his wife, children, friends, and many people. These people are all in Chang'an, within reach. Only that family is far away in Shu. If anyone knows
, use this to make a fuss..."
"That's His Majesty's flaw!" Ever since he learned about the emperor's situation back then, Lin Feibao wished he could find that family and strangle them one by one with his own hands. "Yes, that's His Majesty's only flaw." Yang Lue stood up, here was him
I was on duty but had nothing to do, "I went into the palace to test it out." "That's fine!"
Yang Lue arrived outside the palace gate. Several courtiers outside were waiting for the emperor to summon him. "Mr. Yang." The guard held up his hands. "Are you asking to see your majesty?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, are you free?" Yang Lue asked.
"Your Majesty said that if Mr. Yang comes, just go in directly." "It's better to report it!"
"yes!"
Later, a chamberlain came and said respectfully: "Mr. Yang, please come with us." Several officials looked at Yang Lue with envy as he entered the palace.
"Don't be envious." An old official said, "It was this man who took His Majesty to the southern border back then. Isn't it an exaggeration to make him a Duke for his contribution?" Everyone nodded, "It's not an exaggeration."
"But I don't want anything. I'm used to being idle. Look, what do you mean by one's own people? This is one's own people. When Your Majesty is here, does it matter whether he has an official title or no title?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Even if...it's a bit taboo to say the least, even if he is the successor emperor, how can he still treat his family badly?" "That's right!"
"So! If people want to be satisfied, they have to learn to give up something. Many times, the more you give up, the more God will compensate you." Outside the palace gate, an old official was telling his colleagues about his philosophy of life.
, Yang Lue has already met the emperor.
The emperor and the prince were sitting side by side behind the desk, reading the memorial.
"Yang Lue is here, please sit down first." The emperor was very busy and pointed to the side where a chamberlain brought a mat.
"Here." The emperor pointed to the memorial and said to A Liang: "Look, I am scared, what is he scared of? There are hundreds of people killed and injured, he is just scared?" "Ah, is this the wrong word?"
"Whatever Wen Youxin thinks in his heart will naturally be revealed between the lines. The local fire swept through half of the county, causing heavy casualties. He was terrified. This fear was directed at me. Look, I made a mistake, right?
Your Majesty is sincerely frightened."
"Isn't it right?" A Liang asked.
"Local officials are also called parent officials. Officials treat the people as their own children and love them. Now more than a hundred of your children have been killed and injured, and their homes have been burned down. You don't say you are sad, but you only care about expressing your opinion to me. Such people are despicable!"
"Oh!" Ah Liang suddenly realized, "Officials must do their job well first, and then other things." "Yes, if they can't do their job well, what else can you expect them to do? Just flatter others?"
The emperor was very pleased, put down the memorial, and smiled at Yang Lue and said: "I asked you to be a free official, but you refused, so at least you have a title, some money and food every year, and you can pass it on to your children and grandchildren...
·
"His Majesty once said that the extension of titles is the most harmful.
The so-called virtue of a gentleman can be cut off in five lifetimes. No matter how great your achievements are, your children and grandchildren cannot enjoy them endlessly."
"This is what I said back then." The emperor picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea. "When I came to Chang'an to attend the imperial meeting, I saw so many dignitaries... standing like locusts all over the court.
Besides, these people are relying on the merits of their ancestors, so what benefit will they bring to the country?"
"For hundreds of years in the Tang Dynasty, there will be more people of this kind every year, but the old ones will not go away. The people have to support them, and it becomes more and more difficult. I ask myself that I don't have much credit, and I don't want my children and grandchildren to rest on that little credit.
Eat and wait to die."
This is Yang Lue's statement.
"Let's see!" the emperor said noncommittally.
"When His Majesty was in southern Xinjiang, he was not as tall as he is now, and was a little thinner. I heard from the chamberlains earlier that His Majesty was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and he looked very imposing."
The emperor laughed and said: "It's just a prank by Erlang. He placed a thorny branch on my chair. I didn't check it for a while, but my butt was so bad that I had to cross my legs when I walked."
"Hahahaha!" Yang Lue couldn't help laughing.
Afterwards, they talked about some family matters, and Yang Lue stood up and left. "If you have nothing to do, come into the palace and talk to me!"
The emperor stood up and sent him outside the palace, "Since I became emperor, I have had more rules when meeting those old people. I don't like it. But they don't dare to go too far."
Yang Lueyuan left, and A Liang stood beside the emperor, "Mr. Yang seems to have something on his mind."
"He is a low-key person who knows how to keep a low profile. He will not ask his father to talk about the past for no reason." The emperor said: "When he mentioned Yuanzhou and old things, did he want to ask that family?"
"Aye, what kind of family is that?"
"When my father lived in the countryside of Yuanzhou for more than ten years, he lived in that house. "What about them?"
"Yang Lue sent him away without asking about his father." It's best not to ask, but it will be troublesome to ask.
Han Ze came over and said, "Your Majesty, King Wei is going to the south today." "Oh!"
In Prince Wei's Mansion, Concubine Shu and Sister Huang were busy and finally packed their belongings. "Where is Erlang?"
Concubine Shu found that King Wei was missing. "The king seems to have gone out."
"This man!" Concubine Shu smiled bitterly, "He was about to leave, but he disappeared." After waiting for a while and no one was seen, Concubine Shu asked someone to look for him.
"Let me go!"
Sister Huang went to the alley familiar with the road. As soon as she entered, she heard the sound of forging.
In the alley, even in winter, there are still many old people wearing thick clothes and pacing awkwardly back and forth outside their homes. From time to time, they say a few words to their neighbors, or they don't speak, just feeling the smoke and smoke.
"Eldest sister is here?" Someone discovered Huang eldest sister.
"Ouch! You've been here for a long time!" "Yes!"
"Li Er disappeared a while ago. No, today he came back. Li Er also opened the door and lit a fire. He is going to reopen!" "Uh!" Sister Huang didn't know how to answer, so she was vague.
To right.
"Go back and get me a kitchen knife!"
"Poor, he probably went into business and was deceived, so he came back to resume his old business." "Let's help him at least."
"Easy to say!"
Sister Huang walked to the blacksmith shop and looked up at the sign.
Then he walked in.
King Wei Chi Guoruo's upper body was beating the knife blank. Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!
He put the knife blank in the fire and looked up at Huang Damei. Huang Damei walked to the side and pulled the wind bag.
The flames rose and illuminated their faces. Clang, clang, clang!
The sound of hammering continued until the horizontal knife was formed. "My mother is waiting for you."
"I was just thinking that there is a knife blank here that has not been finished." "Just take it away."
"It's someone else who wants it. Since we've paid a deposit, there's no reason not to give it." "Yeah!"
The two talked and cooperated.
Later, King Wei inserted the horizontal sword into the scabbard and handed it to Huang Damei, "Give it to the neighbor. When the man comes to ask for the sword, give it to him!" "Okay!"
Huang Damei entrusted this matter, and King Wei
Put out the fire, tidy up the things in the blacksmith shop, go out, and open the door panels one by one.
The last door panel is closed and locked.
King Wei held it with one hand, and the copper key became a ball. He threw it away.
"Let's go!" "Wait!"
Sister Huang pointed at the signboard, "Second brother, let's take it away!" King Wei turned around and looked at it, "That's fine!"
After taking off the signboard and holding it under their arms, the couple slowly walked out. "Are you...going somewhere else?" an old man asked.
"Yes!" Sister Huang said with a smile. "Where are you going?" "South!"
"It's a rich place."
"yes!"
"You have to come back often!" "Definitely!"
After walking out of the alley, Li Han was outside, looking at them with a smile. "I went to the palace and found no one, so I knew you were here."
He couldn't help but be happy when he saw King Wei holding the signboard, "Are you planning to open a blacksmith shop in the south?" "Yes!" King Wei nodded.
"This is a craft." "Yeah!"
Outside the palace, a carriage drove for a long time.
"Why did you come back here with this..." Concubine Shu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw her son carrying a signboard, "Then let's hit the road!" The group of people walked slowly, turned around the alley and arrived at Zhuque.
Main street.
"King Wei is leaving." "It's good to go!"
King Wei turned a deaf ear to these discussions until he arrived outside the city gate. "Don't you have any nostalgia?" Li Han asked.
King Wei turned around and looked at Chang'an City.
"For me, Chang'an City is like a cage. Now that I am out of the cage, the world is so big that I can go there. As for nostalgia..." He patted Li Han on the shoulder, and Li Han was patted
I almost knelt down.
"The future Prince of Liang will be indispensable for wealth and honor." "Where is Your Majesty?"
"he······"
King Wei thought for a while, "That's someone who refuses to settle down. Maybe he will meet me again!" "So, have a safe trip and take care!"
Li Han saluted and said, "Send me a letter when you get there. If I have some free time, I will visit you later." "Okay!"
King Wei held his hands and mounted his horse.
The horse neighed and turned around.
King Wei took one last look at Chang'an City.
Turning his eyes, he found a man standing on the top of the city. He raised his hand to him.
