Zhang Yanji's expectations were not false. After a conflict with Li Yi, the Prince of Gaoyou, wrote a handwritten letter to send him to Chang'an, Kyoto at night, asking His Highness Yong to make the decision for him. (Note 1)
Although King Yong Li Zi has been granted the title of king and attacked the fief since the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, because His Majesty the Emperor cherishes and favors him so he made an exception that he did not let him go to the fortress after he became an adult, but stayed in Chang'an City.
. Such examples are not uncommon. There are several examples in the Taizong Dynasty alone. For example, King Tai of Wei, King Zhi of Jin, and later Emperor Gaozong, did not go to his fiefdom to take office. However, such things often happen to the legitimate sons, such as King Yong, Phoenix.
It is undoubtedly a miracle that his concubine's son can be so favored by the emperor.
In any case, Li Yi, the prince of Gaoyou, did not plan to stop. He didn't care what Li Kuo was, Huainan Dao Troupe, if you let me play with you, I would let you get out of bed! Isn't it just a minister who sells coolies for the royal family?
The upright prime minister must bow his head in front of the real royal family!
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince asked you to go through the mansion!" The old butler Li Quan'an saw that Li Yi's anger had dissipated a lot, and he owed his body to remind him.
"Oh? I forgot, why didn't you remind me earlier?" Li Yi squeezed at the old butler, obviously a little dissatisfied.
Li Quan'an sighed in his heart, but a smile came out of his face: "Look at what you said, am I afraid that you will get angry? Even if we missed anyone, we can't miss our own body,
When the prince left, he specially entrusted his slave to the old man, saying that you are weak and you cannot be angry no matter what, and you cannot get along with yourself."
"Okay, okay, don't mention him in front of me. I kept listening to his nagging when he was alive. He finally returned to heaven, and you ran to my ears and nagging again. I was so annoying!"
Li Yi waved his hand impatiently and interrupted the old housekeeper's reminder: "You, just do what you should do. I am not a three-year-old child, so you don't have to worry about everything!"
"Hey, hey." Li Quan'an responded repeatedly, and adjusted the burqa from the clothes hanger to put it on for Li Yi: "But, I'm sorry, I'm too polite, the Seventh Prince is straightforward, your highness, you must be careful."
Li Yi said unhappily: "What are you saying? I did nothing wrong, why should I hide and dodge? Although Uncle Seven is a bit old-fashioned, he can still distinguish between good and bad, right? Besides, I am a dignified king.
Although the Prince of Gaoyou is his nephew, he is also from the first-class level. If I am really tough, he may not be able to speak to me."
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince and the Old Prince are brothers. If you do this, how can you feel at ease in heaven?"
"Okay, okay, don't talk anymore, prepare a horse for me!" Li Yi walked out of the house in a row, bringing a scattered dust.
"How much money do you sell for this book "Ancient Mirror"?" Li Kuo nodded to the book shop and asked sincerely. (Note 2)
The shop owner is a middle-aged man around 35 years old, wearing a white-washed robe, sitting upright behind a waist-high ink black table reading an ancient book.
“This book is not sold.”
The middle-aged man shook his head and replied.
"Oh? Why is this?" Li Kuo was a little curious and put the book back on the bookshelf.
"You are so weird. I said I don't sell it, but I don't sell it. There are so many problems. Nowadays, young people, it's better not to say it."
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Li Kuo and shook his head and said, "My book has a rule, from top to bottom. The books in the first row are only for reading, and the books in the second row are for borrowing, only the most
The books on the bottom row are for sale.”
When he said this, I ignored Li Kuo and read his book with great pleasure.
Li Kuo was surprised. This store was really strange. He clearly opened a bookstore but sets many rules. Merchants are profit-seeking people. Isn’t it blocking his own way of wealth by making so many rules?
"Shopkeeper, can you ask where these three rules come from?"
"Huh?" the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Well, there are not many young people who are as far as you can ask questions, so I will tell you."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf, stroked the top row of books and sighed: "This row of books is all the lonely books I have collected for half my life, from astronomy, geography, to ghost legends, and everything."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man smiled proudly and said, "Will you sell your hard work for half your life? Even if you pile up a pile of gold in front of my store, I won't be moved!"
"Oh? Then why do you only borrow and not sell this second-level book?"
Li Kuo found it quite interesting and asked.
"The books on this level are all Confucian classics and historical books of various dynasties." The middle-aged man said leisurely: "Most of these books are for scholars from county and prefectures. Except for a few rich children, they have no
What money can’t even eat enough to buy books? My rent is only one penny for ten days, and even poor children can take it out. They will pay it back after reading it, and they can’t spend a lot of money in total. My rent is also
It means to do good deeds and accumulate virtue."
After saying that, the middle-aged man leaned over and squatted down, clicked on the bottom row of books: "As for these, they were just thick lyrics and erotic songs written by people at that time, and they bought some princes and marquises. These big ones
Tang's borers carry beautiful banquets all day long, listen to music and fight cocks, and need these things to be fun. I sell this book for 100 articles. Do you believe it or not? There are still many servants and book children rushing to buy it?"
After hearing this, Li Kuo suddenly realized that this shop was "robbing the rich and helping the poor", and this behavior is worthy of admiration. To be honest, he could put out his own book he had treasured for many years for passers-by to read.
My heart is really worthy of admiration.
However, I'm afraid I can't buy this book myself!
Li Kuo smiled bitterly and returned to the city from the troupe camp. He happened to pass by this bookstore in the alley. He thought he could buy a good book as he pleased, but he never thought of meeting such a strange person.
"Grandma, grandma, sell this book to him!"
A sound like a silver bell came from the back room, and then a figure in a red dress jumped into his eyes.
