But he said that Li Er took Empress Changsun, his daughter Changle, generals Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other ministers to go on tour incognito. This matter was a bit illegal according to the etiquette system. After all, it was the end of the year, and as His Majesty, he should also preside over the sacrifice to heaven.
It’s the ancestral temple, but...
The second ancestor of Li was born in Wuchuan, Dai County. The family leaders for generations were all warriors. They were not very strict about etiquette issues. In addition, the Tang Dynasty had been prosperous recently and the world was peaceful and peaceful. Therefore, it did not cause any turmoil. The carriage drove on in an ordinary way.
Arrive outside Hangzhou.
But after arriving, Li Er learned that Li Sheng had not seen guests recently...
This situation caught Li Er by surprise, and... and the most important thing was that he really had no choice. To say that Li Sheng was also an important minister of the Tang Dynasty, it wouldn't be too strange not to see guests, and seriously speaking
, "Ministers don't like to make friends", which is still a solid advantage in politics.
What can Li Er do? At this moment, the world outside China is turbulent and dragons and snakes are rising. The Tang Dynasty needs stability the most. Li Er does not dare to mention the acquaintance with Li Sheng rashly... Naturally
That means you can't use your Majesty's identity to force him to visit people.
As a result, after Li Er asked the people in the other building in the industrial zone to help inform Wu Meiniang, he had no choice but to wait in the inn... Fortunately, Hangzhou, apart from other things, has a lot of maritime merchants.
Even businesses such as restaurants and hotels are extremely developed, but the conditions are still very good.
Li Er then had no choice but to stay in the inn with the queen, daughter, and several close ministers, waiting for Li Sheng's reply.
After such an incident that was not a big deal but was extremely irritating, Empress Changsun was fine. As long as she could meet her children and tell them how they were, Li Er felt a little depressed.
I can’t help but think about it…
The situation in the world is becoming more and more changing, and we don’t know where it will lead.
If the future of the Tang Dynasty is bumpy and dark, then maybe it would be a good thing not to recognize Li Sheng...
These distracting thoughts lingered in Li Er's mind, and Wei Zheng and others noticed Li Er's annoyance, so they naturally took Li Er to wander around Hangzhou city all day long, tasting delicious food and wine. Speaking of Li Er's mood problems, Wei Zheng and others naturally
They all know it well, but as a minister, they are not that worried.
This is not to say that Wei Zheng and others do not care about state affairs or that "the three platforms accept words and do not care about the king's affairs", but... Li Er's worries are actually some of the "occupational diseases" of being a king. For ministers, the main thing to think about is
The problem is the problem itself, such as Rome's secret actions, what should Datang do about it...
Of course, these problems are quite troublesome strategic problems even for top scholar-bureaucrats such as unknown. For a while, no one expected to come up with any solutions at all. But during this period of time, while wandering around the city of Hangzhou, an unexpected situation occurred.
.
But he said that this day has already reached the penultimate day of winter - and the next day will be the end of the new year. Originally, Li Er and others were worried that at this time of the year, if all the restaurants in Hangzhou city were
If the door is closed, it will be difficult for everyone. After all, Wu Meiniang arranged for everyone to meet Li Sheng in the evening.
This naturally made Wei Zheng and the other ministers secretly feel that there was something wrong. After all, as His Highness, Li Sheng, although he did not recognize His Majesty, was still an old friend according to his status... Why is the feud so big?
However, Li Er is much more open-minded about this matter. After all, he is a merchant, and Li Sheng is currently an important minister of the Tang Dynasty. It is natural that the schedule is tight. Compared to this...
What surprised Li Er was that Hangzhou was really different from other places. At the end of the year, shops everywhere were still open and restaurants were brightly lit. There was no doubt that this was a change brought about by the sea trade boom.
Because of this, Li Er was in a much better mood that day. The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, so Li Er naturally took everyone to find a new restaurant to enjoy the rare leisure time after working hard on paperwork in Chang'an.
.
but……
On this day, Li Er gradually became happy and was having fun with his wife, daughter, and several ministers. While they were drinking and drinking, Fang Xuanling suddenly heard his neighbors chatting again.
Talking about a trip to Hangzhou, I went to Hangzhou to meet His Highness, and accidentally discovered that my neighbor was paying attention to me... This scene had happened before, and Fang Xuanling was considered a careful person in Li Er's Tiance Mansion team.
And because she was so frightened by Li Sheng's sudden appearance last time, Fang Xuanling became more nervous and alert this time!
However, when he looked around, there was no His Highness around. Fang Xuanling felt relieved for a while. However... even though he didn't see His Highness, the chatter between his neighbors really aroused Fang Xuan's attention.
age interests.
Although these drinkers came here to drink and chat, they were not ordinary drinkers during their conversations. It was also obvious that they were all scholars.
And the topic this group of people were talking about was discussing political affairs... No, it was a bigger category than "discussing political affairs". They were discussing the general trend of the world.
There are many scholars in the opposition who discuss government affairs. They are what the people generally call "clean stream", but it is relatively rare to discuss the general trend of the world. There are many famous allusions to such discussions in history. For example, Longzhong's
, such as dancing after hearing the chicken!
Everyone was here to have fun this time, and Fang Xuanling had nothing to do. Out of curiosity, she really listened attentively.
After hearing this... soon, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be stunned, because these scholars were chatting and actually talked about some real things... They mentioned a word!
Technological advantages!
The meaning of this word is not difficult and obscure, it can be said to be very simple. The so-called technology refers to the many skills and knowledge passed down by Li Sheng, and the advantages need not be mentioned.
But when these scholars talked about "technological advantages", they not only talked about the word itself, but also discussed the general trend of the world based on the advantages of science and technology.
Without it, the country will be destroyed and the species will be destroyed. If you get it, you can rule the world!
From ancient times to the present, in the history of China, the thinking of literature, history and philosophy has always firmly believed that virtue is above all else.
Divine weapons are kept by those who are virtuous. This is a Chinese creed that has never been shaken through countless dynasties. However...
As the top true celebrity, Fang Xuanling also knows that virtue can unite people's hearts and calm troubled times, but there are times when it doesn't work. For example... without any examples, there is just one "food shortage", that is, nothing is enough.
, it’s the same for both good and bad people.
And how to solve this... Although it seems to be a dead end, after all, when there is insufficient food, someone will starve to death. But for thousands of years, the scholar-officials of China have not stopped thinking!
