The 2nd and 3rd day of the first lunar month is Wanshou Festival.
His Majesty's birthday this year is a bit strange. It may be because he has grown teeth again at the age of 76, or it may be because he was very happy to be served by two Zhangs recently. His Majesty did not take this opportunity to enrich himself.
A pot full of money.
1 All the treasures from all over the world, whether they were saved by frugality or through extortionate expropriation, were sent back to the original owners by the princes and ministers, and there were even many rewards, accompanied by a colorful imperial edict.
It was given.
Except for two things.
One is a big golden carp with full beard and tail that His Royal Highness Li Xian, King of Luling, personally fished from Luoshui. It is half the length of a man. There are good things to say. If this fish can cross the dragon gate, it will definitely bring great success to the fish.
Transformed into a dragon.
Naturally, such magical objects will not be reduced to a plate of fish meat on the dining table. Li Chongrun caught all the stupid carp in Jiuzhou Pond. Now the ecological niche in the pond is empty, which is suitable for this dragon king to enter.
Show great power.
The second one is a pair of 108 two-color jasper carved sparrow plaques. The one presented was Li Chongrun, the king of Linzi, who was famous for his craftsmanship.
His Majesty, who was listening to music in Konghe Pavilion, saw that Li Chongrun was offering jade again, and wanted to reject it immediately. However, Shangguan's aunt was looking after her at the time, so she mentioned it casually, saying that this was a game that had just started in the palace.
The stuff is said to have come from Yangzhou.
It was just that when the ditty in the audience was singing at its peak, Wu Zetian was so excited by the high-pitched tune that Wu Zetian forgot about it for a while. When he looked back and thought about it, he found that his two favorite cards on the card table were
The two brothers were already red-eyed after losing.
:.,
But the accompaniment was just two little girls who usually sang in the Grand View Garden.
The money lost was not much, only a hundred and ten dollars, but the two little girls sitting opposite looked weak and weak, but they actually killed two thoughtful brothers at the card table to the point where they were completely disgraced.
, which really made the two of them feel a little bit sorry for each other, so they got a little carried away.
After a brief glance, even Wu Zetian felt that there were countless possibilities for this small number of hundreds of cards, which inevitably aroused a lot of curiosity.
Since His Majesty was moved, this gift was given as expected.
His Majesty's birthday passed lively amidst the sounds of the Great Wall.
What is good for the superior must be followed by the inferior.
In just a few days, the crackling sound of cards resounded throughout the city, seeming to be noisier than the fireworks during the Lantern Festival a few days ago.
Therefore, amidst the loud sound of cards, no one noticed that several dark figures jumped off the merchant ship coming from Linyi and hurriedly rushed into Linzi Prince's Mansion.
"So, instead of killing the little prince of Tubo, the brothers killed two of Lu Dongzan's sons?"
It took the team Li Chongrun sent from Linyi a year to figure out the logic under the guidance of the two guides. However, they were unfamiliar with the place and naturally couldn't recognize who was who.
The king of Tubo could only pick out two aristocratic gentlemen who looked the most powerful and shot them.

Therefore, the two brothers who were left in Tubo to check and balance the young king, the powerful Tubo minister Yun Qinling, went to see Da Feitian inexplicably.
The first thing that the little king who lost his checks and balances could think of was not to rush to find his benefactor, but to attack the opposition who had lost their leader.
"As expected, they are barbarians. They kill their own people much more ruthlessly than fighting with us. When several brothers fled back, they saw along the way that there were countless tables set up along the way. They were piled with human corpses, allowing birds and beasts to peck at them.
, comparable to hell..."
Li San is very glad that he has other tasks and does not have to go there himself. "After the brothers came back, they even gave up eating meat. They could only eat some fish and shrimp at most. The smell of meat would make them vomit to death."
past."
Li Chongrun knew that it would be difficult to explain to Li San the difference in folk customs of sky burial, so he could only agree with Li San and express his full pity from the perspective of a foodie.
"The target to kill is much better than killing the little king of Tubo. Now Tubo will collapse in a matter of seconds. Next, it depends on this summer. How is the situation when you go to Japan?"
"Of course Rosa didn't say anything. Jianzhen was a little worried. If things didn't turn out as the prince feared, it might give the emperor some ideas."
After all, Jianzhen has been the leader for so long, and his speaking skills are much higher than before. The word "emperor" is used very accurately.
The secret room was burned to the ground by Li Chongrun before, and it has not yet been restored.
There was also a strong smell of smoke. Fortunately, the small bedroom where Li Chongrun had been hiding was not affected by the flames and could barely be used as a place for entertaining guests.
Li Chongrun was slumped on his previous bed. Hearing Li San's emotion, he found it very interesting, so he straightened up with great interest, "I can see this step, Zhenjian has made progress than before."
Quite a bit. You should learn from this young monk. Even though you are an uncle, you are still such a rough person. You are not afraid of losing face if you tell me."
"Xiao 7 said that there is no shortage of enlightened people around the prince, but there are relatively few straight men like me. Instead of competing with others for brains, it is better to give full play to our own strengths."
"I formally suggest that when you do things in the future, you must bring your wife with you to serve as your external brain."
Li Chongrun laughed loudly, turned over and climbed out of bed, "Tell those brothers that I will definitely give them a large medal weighing one ton."
"Your Majesty, brothers, there is something unclear and I would like to ask Your Majesty." Seeing Li Chongrun preparing to leave, Li San found some courage and came out. He knelt down on the ground with a plop and asked boldly.
"If the prince can't explain clearly, it's okay not to want this medal!"
"Why do you want to prevent your father from driving His Majesty from power?"
Li Chongrun naturally guessed what Li 3 would ask. In fact, Li Chongrun himself was very surprised why Li 31 never asked about this matter. That's why he brought him to the secret room that was half a wreck to talk.
"Your Majesty has usurped the Li family's world now. When the King of Luling takes back his own things, he is following God's will, isn't he? Moreover, sooner or later, the prince will be honored as a great treasure. Shouldn't he support the old prince to become the emperor?
? Among the many brothers, there are not just one or two who have fallen into this state because of the current emperor's ignorance. Even if the old prince wants to start an uprising, he will comply with the people's will and attack the injustice, why should we stop him? "
After saying a few words, Li San seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His originally bloody face turned pale, and he was breathing heavily.
"I asked you to study hard at school, but you didn't listen carefully and went to learn martial arts from Uncle Yang. Now you don't understand. Anyway, it doesn't snow this year, and there is still time. You can ask your sister Lan
Talk to your wife and ask them to give you extra lessons, so you won’t ask such a stupid question."

Leaving behind the somewhat lost Li San, Li Chongrun turned around and climbed to the exit of the secret room on the rockery.
Alan was holding a delicate knife in his hand and was whittling something. When he saw Li Chongrun showing his head, he reached out and picked him up.
"Why don't you tell me?"
Alan pressed his chin in the direction of Li San and asked Li Chongrun why he was so critical of Li San.
"The principles instilled in him are not as profound as those that can be understood by oneself."
Li Chongrun took the thing from Alan's hand and found that it was a wooden hairpin, which was very similar to the copper hairpin she had originally.
"The prince has said that the way to the destruction of every dynasty is through annexation."
"Although grandma is domineering in her work, fortunately she has cleaned up the Li clan a lot. Not to mention how much money can be spent less on raising these rich and idle people. Just letting those nobles spit out the land they eat is enough.
How many people can we feed? Although a bunch of idiots named Wu with no power or foundation have come in, but idiots, they are much easier to deal with than the rich and powerful Li family."
Li Chongrun played with the hairpin and said to Alan: "If you want to kill some foreigners for the sake of the world, I don't care. If the world is finally peaceful for a few days and the war continues, no matter how big our Linzi Palace is,
You can’t support those orphans and widows, right?”
