Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

Li Yuanying quickly got news from the outside. Knowing that Li Tai was already in control, Li Yuanying sat quietly for a while.

He didn't know if it was right for him to intervene in these things, but he couldn't help but talk about it when he saw him. Li Yuanying sighed thinking of Liu Baolin who was still in the palace, the friends he had made, and Dai Ting and others who followed him. He was also gambling. In gambling, the emperor cared more about the stability of Jiangshan Sheji than loving the fourth child. In gambling, the emperor also had a certain preference for his brother. Fortunately, he won the bet.

It's just that the person who won in this matter is not very happy, and there is not a happy person in the whole thing. But no matter what, the fourth child is already in control, and there shouldn't be such storms in the future.

Li Yuanying's mood improved and waited to see the monthly test results with his friends.

This year the Guozi Supervisor has done a good job, and the Ph.Ds are also stricter on their studies. They are afraid that they will not get a good grade in the next year, and they will fall into the Guozi Supervisor's reputation!

Fengtai Building now uses the Imperial College as its signboard. Li Yuanying has a very good understanding of the academic experience of the Imperial College students. Not only actively supervises them to take a good rest and exercise, but also cheats that the Supervisory Association takes the lead in organizing a study group. Every day, except for classes and meals. A bunch of people engage in thematic discussion together.

The Imperial College is full of young people under the age of twenty. At the young age of Zhengmao, they naturally speak freely and express their opinions. Not to mention, after these two months of discussion, a lot of new ideas and opinions have emerged from the truth.

Li Yuanying’s greatest strength is that he recognizes all the students. Those who study classics and meanings, learn Chinese characters, write arithmetic, and learn laws. He can pull them all together. A tricky problem collection is very fast. It can be solved. Different ideas and different thinking blended with each other, creating a new way of thinking for everyone involved.

Wei Shu and a few people also participate in Li Yuanying's discussions every day, but they have less time to speak and a lot of time to record. They record all kinds of new ideas for Li Yuanying in different categories.

Li Yuanying’s group gradually formed a large circle. In this circle there were officials’ children like Tang Guan, as well as many poor-born children, and even the only four girls in the Imperial College. Conspicuous.

As soon as the monthly test results were announced that day, the top of the list was almost entirely occupied by Li Yuanying. Mainly, His Majesty Li Er likes practical talents that can be used by hand, but anyone who can only read books and express some old ideas, all have to go back to make way for those who have ideas. And Li Yuanying's group of people just happened to be like a stream of living water, and their minds were so vivid!

Of course, there are also some who are left behind. For example, Li Yuanying has fallen behind this time because his ideas are too deviant. He wrote eloquently, saying that all men and women are the same, suggesting that girls should also be allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, especially those of aristocratic families who have read books, should give them a chance to perform and make good use of the outstanding talents cultivated by the aristocratic families.

Li Yuanying was unconvinced after getting a final wait, and ran to find Dr. Ma to argue: "What is wrong with my article? Shouldn't they be given the same opportunities as Mei Niang and others as smart? How many men in the world can Read better than them, and have a more accurate idea?"

Dr. Ma distinguished from him: "They are in the minority after all."

Li Yuanying said: "I still think that smart boys are also in the minority. One or two Meiniang and Shu sisters a year are so smart, it's not enough!"

Dr. Ma asked him back: "Can you produce one or two in a year?"

Li Yuanying thought, he had lived for twelve years, and he had only met so many, indeed not many. Li Yuanying was still not reconciled: "Anyway, this is a wild talent, okay!"

Dr. Ma stroked his beard and said, "It's useless to allow women to participate. The poor girls don't even talk about it. They don't even have the opportunity to read. How can the daughters raised by the family you mentioned come out for the imperial examination? The betrothal gifts are at least several hundred thousand dollars, and I live a leisurely life every day. Why should I come out to suffer? I am admitted to the imperial examination. It is also from the last small official. I don’t know if there is a way to promote it. It’s worth it. Let them give up their generous lives and show their faces?"

Li Yuanying and Dr. Ma murmured: "Sister Shu and they are willing. What is the fun of staying in a small back house for a lifetime? The outside world is so big that only boys can see it, but girls can't see it?"

Dr. Ma shook his head and said, "This has been the case since ancient times. How can you change it lightly?"

After thinking about it, Li Yuanying never figured out a good idea to persuade Dr. Ma, so she could only return with the article she had reviewed the last.

...

Just when Li Tai was away from Chang'an, Dai Ting and his party finally returned from Tubo. They brought back a lot of cattle, horses, spices, and herbs, and the team was huge and eye-catching. Before the people arrived, the news had been sent back to Chang'an, Luoyang, saying that the tea was selling very well, and it had returned a lot of cows and horses. That bull is strong, and that Marco is tall! The most surprising thing is that this team also drove several yaks back. The yak hairs are so thick and the horns are so majestic. It looks very rare!

When the caravan went there brought a hundred monks, and when they came back, they were half less. It was not an accident, but stayed in Tubo to give lectures temporarily, and prepared for the next trip to follow eastward. When Dai Ting came back this time, he brought back not only the cattle and horses in exchange for tea and various Tubo specialties, but also news about Wencheng. He handed the proceeds to Dong Xiaoyi for processing and passed the news to Li Yuanying in the Imperial College.

Li Yuanying learned that Dai Ting had returned, so she and Kong Yingda had their leave, and went to the Zijian to meet with Dai Ting. Tubo is a long journey, and it takes half a year to go back and forth. Dai Ting has spent a lot of time doing business there and listening to news, so this difference is nearly a year.

Li Yuanying asked Dai Ting to sit down and talk about his experience in Tubo.

Dai Ting first picked the good ones and said: When he set off, it was the Tuyuhun rebellion. Princess Honghua was shocked. After receiving condolences from Chang'an, she was much better. There were no major problems on the way to Tubo. Tubo bandits, but they are well-armed and well-trained, and many of the monks accompanying them are from monk origin, able to fight and carry, so there was no casualties due to the attack.

Then it’s time to talk about the problems they encountered. It is reasonable to say that they are all in good health. Although they should not be able to stand the distance, but the more people go to the logical city, the more people become uncomfortable, their faces flushed, and their bodies are all over. Weakness, shortness of breath, and even fainting. Even if there were several doctors who had borrowed from Sun Simiao, two of them almost died suddenly in Tubo.

At the beginning, Wei Shu guessed that there might be a relief method in Tubo. Dai Ting also inquired carefully, and indeed found the herbs that the locals often take. The doctors who accompanied him believed that these were all qi and blood activating things, and he brought them back to Chang'an for planting even if they weren’t used for them. Entering Tubo is also very useful. Dai Ting collected a batch of seeds and some rhizomes and brought them back together with the soil.

Li Yuanying listened patiently and pursued: "Where is Wencheng?"

Dai Ting deliberately put the matter related to Princess Wencheng to the end. Hearing Li Yuanying's question, Dai Ting paused and said his judgment: "Songtsen Gambo and Lu Dongzan are ambitious people." These two people, one succeeded to the throne when young, and the other gained the aspect from nothing. If there is no ambition, how can it be possible to stabilize the Tubo tribes?

Ambitious people will always show their clues when they act. Dai Ting took people to some of the cities, and waited for a few days before seeing Princess Wencheng. At this time, Princess Wencheng had been in Luoxie City for almost half a year, she was thinner, but she was still in good spirits.

I heard from Princess Wencheng that Songtsen Ganbu was not addicted to female sex, she was often seen at first, and later the craftsmen, healers, embroiders, etc. she brought with her became useful, and Songtsen Ganbu came to talk to her from time to time. . The two people's languages ​​are actually not the same. Although she has learned a lot of Tubo along the way, it is still a bit difficult to communicate. But after Princess Wencheng arrived last year, she found a place to plant the sunflower seeds Li Yuanying gave her. On weekdays, she used the excuse of looking after sunflowers to talk to the people who were waiting. She was not discouraged when she said something wrong. After a long time, she was also integrated into the logic. In the life of these cities.

Li Yuanying said: "This is pretty good."

Dai Ting continued.

After receiving the long gift list brought from Chang'an, Princess Wencheng burst into tears and missed her relatives in Chang'an very much, and wrote a poem to express her thoughts. He has brought back the poem, and there are also some news that Luo has found in the city: Before Songtsen Gambo asked to marry the Princess of Tang, he had already married the princess of the Nibhara country at the beginning of his succession, and the two were married as a teenager. The relationship is pretty good, but he has no children. In addition, Songtsen Gampo also married women from various tribes of Tubo.

From the point of view of marrying, we can know what Songtsen Gambo is like: He is useful to marry a wife. All to establish his absolute authority in Tubo!

Li Yuanying grew up in the palace. The Supreme Emperor and His Majesty Li Er had a bunch of harem beauties, so he didn't feel much about Songtsan Gampo's women. He only cared about Wencheng's life. Hearing that Songtsan Gambo had married a wife early, Li Yuanying raised her eyebrows: "Can someone embarrass Wencheng?"

Dai Ting said, "No, I just miss Chang'an."

Even if she brought a group of dowry, it would be too cruel for the carefree daughter of the clan to learn to integrate into a completely unfamiliar environment and accept a completely unfamiliar husband.

Li Yuanying took the poem that Dai Ting brought back, and fixedly looked at the beautiful handwriting on it, whether it was such a good thing, just reading it can feel the deep feeling of longing in it.

Looking at the letter Wencheng asked Dai Ting to bring back, it didn't mention how homesick he was, but said that everything was okay for him, no one neglected her, and respected her husband as a guest, so that Uncle Yao and his family would not worry. In return, some were prepared for Gao Yang and the others, please ask him to transfer them.

Li Yuanying sighed.

It's not good for people to grow up, there are always so many unpleasant things, whether it is disputes or separations, there will be more and more.

Li Yuanying put away the letters and poems that Dai Ting brought back, and then asked Dai Ting: "Will you go out this time when you come back?"

Dai Ting nodded.

Li Yuanying thought for a while and said, "Is there anyone on the road who can be alone?"

Dai Ting reported several names to Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying said: "Next time you can divide more roads. Other caravans are willing to go together. You pick someone to take them with you. Tell them what is missing in Tubo and what goods to bring for sale. You can also buy and sell tea. People go another way and take a few more trips, and we will be familiar with Tubo. At that time, Datang’s caravans will go to Tubo, just like going to their own place. Any news in these cities can be spread immediately. Come back." After he finished talking about his next plan, he told Dai Ting, "But don't be aggressive, you should give money when you are in danger, you should recognize counsel, and don't begrudge external things. People are the most important."

Dai Ting nodded in response.

The medicinal materials brought back by Tubo were handed over to Dong Xiaoyi to be responsible for planting. Dong Xiaoyi was clever and very good at planting things. Dai Ting also brought back several Tubo people to study how to make these medicinal materials grow well in Chang'an.

Li Yuanying thought that since she had taken a day off, she was not in a hurry to return to the Imperial College. She brought the gifts that Dai Ting brought back and gave them out according to the gift list. Probably the gift from Li Yuanying was very generous, and the return gift prepared by Tubo was not light. They were all good jade and spices, and good wild horses.

His Majesty Li Er also got a gift, Li Yuanying delivered it personally, and asked his Majesty Li Er if he wanted to see the yak at Li Jing's Mansion.

His Majesty Li Er saw Li Yuanying jogging over again as usual, and couldn't help but stare at him and asked: "Why didn't I know that the Imperial College is closed today?"

Li Yuanying said: "I came out of leave, and the upper court can take leave. Why can't the Imperial College take leave?" He urged His Majesty Li Er, "You must be tired after you have been busy for a long time. I'm here to trouble you, let's go and watch the yak!"

His Majesty Li Er, the old **** is listening to him.

Li Yuanying made persistent efforts: "I heard Dai Ting say that the yak grows strong and fierce, and the hair is very long. I have never seen a long-haired cow. Dai Ting brought two heads back to Chang'an because he thought it was a bit dangerous. , I was sent to Lao Li's mansion, Lao Li can raise everything, so it shouldn’t be a problem to raise a yak."

His Majesty Li Er was annoyed by him and agreed to go with him.

His Majesty Li Er responded, Li Yuanying immediately mobilized to take over Sizi Hengshan Gaoyang, and let people call Li Chengqian and Li Xiang also. After leaving the palace and passing by the Palace of Wei, Li Yuanying suggested: "Let's go get the little ball!"

When His Majesty Li Er saw the Palace of Wei from a distance, he thought of his fourth son, and felt a little gloomy. Listening to Li Yuanying calling others "Little Ball" again, His Majesty Li Er had no more sadness, and turned his head and glanced at Li Yuanying sideways. Did he bury his grand-nephew like this?

Li Yuanying didn't care whether His Majesty Li Er glared at him or not. Seeing that His Majesty Li Er did not say not to pick him up, Li Er agreed to pick him up, and rushed into the Palace of Wei to seek Yan to ask her son.
