Chapter Eleven: The Banquet Is Over

The dinner at Linde Hall lasted for about two hours and ended. The low-level officials in the outer hall had already returned, so there were only dozens of officials in the inner hall, all over the garden,

Most of the servants from the Duke's palaces of various countries and counties were waiting for their masters in the outer halls, while a few of them had soft sedan chairs only when they were older. The people in the Tang Dynasty were very surprised. At this time, they were particularly dignified and unwilling to become livestock to carry people. Even if the family who signed a contract had a son, if such insulting things appeared, they would inevitably be criticized by the scholars.

Even in the Song Dynasty, horses were scarce in the Song Dynasty, and the ministers would rather ride in ox carts or donkey carts than look down on such insulting sedan chairs.

Carrying sedan chairs for elderly officials is just a kind of respect for the elderly in the hearts of these servants. After all, filial piety is the first in the world. During the Han Dynasty, there was a law that the elderly should not be summoned, abused, and those who violated the market would be executed. Those with prestige in fifty were the three elders, and those who were over seventy were on par with the local county magistrate, and those who were over eighty were “raising aging, giving a few battles, and eating porridge.”

Later generations only cost seventy yuan a month for retirement. It is actually quite sad, and it is not even as good as the pension system of the Han Dynasty...

"Grandpa Emperor, Chengqian is gone." Li Chengqian held Changsun Wugui's hand, and the meat buns stuffed in his mouth were filled with roujiamo, and said vaguely.

Changsun Wugu shook his head gently, patted Li Chengqian's forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "Dadfather-in-law, Chengqian is rude. Please don't blame me. The weather is getting colder. My father-in-law is getting older. Please add more clothes and pay attention to his health."

Li Yuan nodded, staring at Li Shimin's back as he gradually left, and said, "Shimin is such a good emperor. Did the palace maids leave the palace just as soon as he ascended the throne? It's such a kind act. Apart from my concubines, the rest of Da'an Palace is only a few maids and eunuchs, who are so deserted."

Changsun Wugui stopped and said with a wry smile: "Why did your father-in-law say this? Your Majesty... has his own difficulties. The wife will send someone to you tomorrow."

"No." Li Yuan shook his head and refused, looking up at the starry sky. The moon was like a hook and night like ink, decorated with bright stars. He was alone on the tall foundation of Linde Hall and felt a little lonely.

He sighed with his hands behind his back: "I have seen enough of the right and wrong in this world, and I am fed up with the intrigues of the imperial power. I don't want to say "A good head, who should be the one who cuts it" when I don't want to sit in the deep palace."

"Brother-in-law! Why did you say this?" Changsun Wugui's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted in a low voice.

"Mother?" Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wugui and Li Yuan, who had just been warm with his father-in-law and daughter-in-law, in confusion. Why did he have such a big turn when eating Roujiamo?

He absolutely could not have imagined that what Li Yuan said, "Who should cut it off" came from the mouth of the tyrant Yang Guang, who was scolding Mr. Kong.

"I am tired and want to change the place to rest. This palace? I don't want to live again!" Li Yuan raised his head and said firmly in looking at the sky.

It's time for his cheap son to be a little stressed!

Simply please means showing weakness!

He first established a family relationship with Li Chengqian, and then achieved the "ruthlessness" that made him die in his womb through the bondage with Li Shimin, and then used Changsun Wugui's mouth to express his wish to leave the palace.

The power of the pillow wind is better than that of the father and son who are cold-eyed.

Li Chengqian was still wondering why the transformation was so fast, and when he heard Li Yuan's words, he was shocked, "Grandpa Emperor, are you no longer living in the palace?"

The palace is very good, but that is for the powerful emperor. For Li Yuan, the outdated emperor, how many people can listen to him in the palace?

It is said that in his later years, eating in the palace was also a problem. If Gao Lishi had not tried his best to protect this former emperor, Li Longji might have become the first emperor to starve to death in this dynasty.

"Chengqian!" Changsun Wugui pulled Li Chengqian's sleeve and signaled him not to speak, then said warmly: "Dear-in-law, my wife knows. I will go over to persuade him on your Majesty. I just hope my father-in-law..."

The remaining Changsun Wugui didn't say it, but the meaning was very clear, that was, he was afraid that Li Yuan would make trouble. After all, this was the founding Taizu of the Tang Dynasty. Who would he support the Li general who was in power?

For example, Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Zhao, is now the governor of Liangzhou and the governor of Jinzhou. He controls the troops of Liangzhou. When he established his country, he once ruled Bashu, captured more than 30 states, captured Zhu Can, and attacked Xiaoliang in the south... Although there was a bonus from Li Jing, Li Xiaogong's own ability was also very powerful and not much inferior.

Although Li Shimin held military power when he was King of Qin, Li Jiancheng, who held power, was not afraid of him. It was because of the prestige of Prince Liusu and Li Yuan that Li Shimin was lucky and fought to the death.

But it does not mean that Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng is a waste. The former is a skill that the founding emperor endured for many years, which is not comparable to ordinary people. The latter also suppressed Li Shimin for nine years, and it was best to explode.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Yuan now. He is just a purely lonely person. Even if Li Yuan had a secret trick, he wouldn't know!

Li Yuan sighed lightly and said, "The only four sons born by the queen are Shimin... I am old too..."

"My wife understand." Changsun Wugui stood up and gave a gift, and then led Li Chengqian away gradually.

Seeing the queen disappear, the palace maid standing next to her whispered: "The Supreme Emperor, it's very windy outside, please get into the sedan chair, it's time to leave."

I saw four young and strong eunuchs carrying out a luxuriously decorated sedan chair from the corner. The sedan chair was similar to what Li Yuan saw on TV, but it was much wider, much larger than those of the officials before, about three feet wide.

When I walked in, I didn't feel narrow at all. There were stools and tables. There were some dried fruit pastries on the table. The fruit plate was woven with gold and silver filaments. It was made of soft and soft brocade, so that people could lie on it and rest.

There are exquisite flowers, birds, landscapes, and auspicious patterns on the screen, and the most common ones are group dragons, which make people see at a glance that this is a royal product, not a luxury item for wealthy families.

Li Yuan lay down softly and narrowed his eyes slightly, shouting softly to the palace maid standing next to him, "Okay, let's go."

The sedan chair is walking lightly, and the trained eunuch walks very steadily and cannot feel the swaying at all. It is said that the elderly sedan chair carryrs form a thick layer of calluses on their shoulders, and the bones will also be deformed, and finally form a groove to fit the wooden poles of the sedan chair.

This is roughly like the thick calluses on the soles of Camel Xiangzi's feet, and he has no pain to be numb and unable to detect.

Such a luxurious life will slowly corrode people's hearts. Li Yuan admitted that he suddenly liked his cheap second son at this time. The palace maid in front of him was quite beautiful, so he asked softly: "What's your name?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, I call you Huaping." The palace maid replied softly.

"I? It seems that he is still a female official." Li Yuan said in his mind. It seems that the palace maid sent by his son is not ordinary, but he didn't expect it to be a female official.

But this female official... has only two kinds of fate in the palace, including favor and neglect.

After saying that, Li Yuan closed his eyes and thought about what happened this day. This is his habit. To summarize what is good at doing things today? What is bad at doing things?

He established a grandfather-grandson relationship with the emperor's grandson Li Chengqian, and then "relieve past grudges" with Li Shimin. The relationship eased. He used Changsun Wugui's mouth to express his wish to leave the palace...

Golden Finger opened two books, one origami, and the other one raising pigs. The 23-point invention book was redeemed for 23 days. By the way, there is still a lottery center that didn’t read it!

Li Yuan suddenly woke up!
