Chapter 313 The King of Wei invites pets
As an official in the Tang Dynasty, it was not easy to steal a few months of free time, but Xie Yi did it.
Since his son was born, Xie Yi has been taking leave to the court and stayed at home with his beloved wife and son. He has been living in a villa in Wangchuan and has not even entered Chang'an City.
It is logical that this approach is a bit inappropriate, but unexpectedly, the emperor and the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall seemed to have forgotten it. No one said that the Marquis of Huaiyang, Xie Changshi, asked for leave for too long, and did not urge him at all. He was just as if he wanted to come back and then take the leave.
Since this is the case, Xie Yi is not polite. He stayed in the villa of Wangchuan for several months. He had fun during the day, and at night he had a beautiful wife and concubines. Especially after Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan recovered from giving birth, three beautiful wives were accompanied by her. Mr. Xie was extremely comfortable. How could he remember other things?
In this way, it was May in a flash.
Chang'an has to go back. The child's 100-day banquet must be held no matter what. Such a big happy event is not cost-effective if he doesn't take the opportunity to receive some red envelopes and generous gifts.
Furthermore, Xie Yi felt that he had disappeared on his own initiative for a long time, and it was almost time to go back.
...
Recently, a lot of things have happened in Chang'an City.? 1? Reading books
The Tubo and the Uighur missions left, and they returned in disappointment, so naturally they could not marry the princess. Even though the Tubo people admired the princess of the Tang Dynasty very much, even if they thought they were very powerful and the Tang Dynasty needed to be polite to them, this was not the case.
Since the gunpowder and the thunder of the sky, especially after Emperor Li Shimin learned about the effectiveness of this magical weapon, his attitude changed suddenly.
Tubo people? Is it necessary to be polite to you?
What does your Tubo army stay outside Songzhou City and don’t leave? Want to threaten by force? Well, let the Firearms Bureau produce a batch of thunder and send it to Songzhou to Niu Jinda. Let’s see who is so powerful?
If it were an ordinary Tubo envoy, he might be very arrogant, and then leave Chang'an angrily, then return to his country to complain, and send a large army to conquer.
But the one who came was Lu Dongzan, the great prime minister of Tubo, and the most wise man. After seeing the power of the thunder and the determination of the monarch and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, he did not dare to do anything, and he is still safe and stable at present. It is more appropriate to be in a wait-and-see state. It is still unknown what the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will be in the future.
As for the Uighurs, they dared not be arrogant. They did not have the capital to be arrogant. The Tang Dynasty acquiesced to invade Xueyantuo's former land. It was already a good situation to read books and confront the Western Turks. It was naturally a failure to marry the princess. They really wanted to get a title, but unfortunately it went against their wishes.
There was no way, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not nod, and the Honglu Temple had no good expression. As for the familiar Xie Changshi, there was no one now. He had no choice but to leave Chang'an in shame.
The envoys of other countries also respectfully bid farewell to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and returned to their own tribes with awe. They all remember one thing that the Tang Dynasty had a magical weapon. They must not plunder its tiger beard.
At the same time, Hou Junji's expedition to Gaochang also had results. All the five cities in Gaochang fell, and Gaochang King Ju Wentai was escorted to the chief for punishment. For a time, the Tang Dynasty was powerful and powerful, which shocked the Western Regions.
Hou Junji also returned to the court at this time, but some bad rumors also appeared, such as Hou Junji's troops plundering troops in Gaochang. Hou Junji himself was greedy for a treasure bow from King Gaochang and occupied a daughter of the Gaochang royal family as his wife. These are not good phenomena, they are all taboos.
It is said that a censor impeached Hou Junji in the court. However, Emperor Li Shimin has not paid attention to it for the time being.
...
As for the prince, His Highness, the most popular King of Jin, has been very low-key recently. He just studied in Furong Garden every day and almost never left home.
The emperor seemed to have changed his attitude. He was originally very fond of King Li Zhi of Jin, but now he is much colder. The prince of the Eastern Palace was still neglected as usual. Instead, King Li Tai of Wei was favored by the emperor again and became the favored prince in Chang'an City. This person, who was originally slightly shaken, was once again solemn and turned his attention to His Highness the King of Wei.
As for King Li Ke of Wu, he was appointed as the governor of Songzhou and went to the Central Plains to lead troops. However, there was an obvious change. The chief of the King of Wu, Quan Wanji, was transferred to Qizhou to be the chief of Qi Li You.
This change is very intriguing! Someone found out after inquiring about it that His Highness King Qi has been a little restless and irregularly conscious recently, which is said to have made His Majesty the Emperor unhappy. Therefore, he changed to the respected Trust Wanji to be the chief minister, hoping to persuade His Highness King Qi to teach him.
As a prince, it is inevitable that he will behave improperly sometimes, especially when he was young. King Li Youru of Qi is not old this year, so it should be normal. I wonder if King Li Ke of Wu had trampled on farmland while hunting in Anzhou!
Thinking of this, this fact is not a big deal, so no one cares. In Chang'an City, everyone's eyes were still focused on the most favored King of Wei Li Tai.
But in the Wei Prince's Mansion, Li Tai himself was still a little uneasy. Although his father's attitude towards him has improved recently and he has favored him much, he has not reached the point of being single-favored or having an extraordinary status, especially when the other princes posed great threats, it is more necessary to compete for favor.
So Li Tai must have some countermeasures. On this day, in the palace, the wide-body and fat King of Wei wiped his sweat, and asked again: "How long will it take to complete the compilation of the "Kuodizhi"?"
Liu Xuan said: "The final compilation and copying stage can be completed in one month at most. Don't worry, Your Highness."
"One month..." Li Tai pondered for a moment: "Next month is the death of his mother's queen. After the manuscript is completed, is it appropriate to present a book?" Li Tai hesitated about this.
Empress Changsun died in June, which is a very special time node.
Liu Xuan pondered: "Your Highness doesn't know anything. A good news came from Zheng Bin, Luoyang Yique Longmen Grottoes..."
"Has the Buddha statue of the mother been made?" Li Tai was immediately excited when he heard the news.
"Yes, the Buddha statue has almost been completed, and everything is absolutely right on the day of Queen Wende's death." Liu Xuan said: "Your Majesty has a deep affection for the Queen. If Your Highness asks for an order, Your Majesty may go to Luoyang to pay tribute to you..."
"Yes, you're right. The statue of the mother's queen is completed. Of course, the father and the emperor will take charge of such a major event." Li Tai was immediately happy. He was worried that there was no way to invite favor, but now there is a great opportunity.
Liu Xuan said softly: "Well, then your Highness will present 550 volumes of "Guodizhi" again. Your Majesty will definitely be particularly happy..." (To be continued.)
