Chapter 981 ? This Is Hope
Chang'an City in early autumn is very cool.
"Peace!"
Wu Mei teased her daughter.
The three brothers of the prince watched eagerly from the side.
"Auntie!"
The prince couldn't bear it anymore, "I'll hug my sister."
Wu Mei said disgustedly: "What if I fell?"
The prince raised his hand and swore, "If I fall, I will fall!"
The child!
Li Hong took the swaddle and said in surprise, "My sister's face is much paler than the day before."
Li Zhe joined in the fun, "My sister is looking at me."
Li Xian said dissatisfied: "Taiping wants you to go away."
Shaopeng came in, approached and said in a low voice: "Queen, Your Majesty said... those people are done arguing."
Wu Mei nodded, and there was more excitement in her eyes.
Shao Peng remembered the worry of the emperor at that time, but the empress was actually happy.
"Peace... let him enter the palace."
When Jia Ping'an entered the palace, the prince had just come out with his two younger brothers, looking at the disheveled ones, there was the sound of children crying inside.
"Did Taiping cry?"
Jia Pingan thinks that a bear child is a bear child.
The prince glanced at Li Xian.
Li Xian smiled, nodded slightly, and then left.
He was accompanied by a few servants and court ladies, Han Da was his person, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is Duke Jia, and the Empress is quite concerned about it. If you can be kind to him, it will be of great benefit."
Aunt Chen on the other side said worriedly: "The queen just got angry, will she be dissatisfied with the king?"
Li Xian's smile faded away, and he said lightly, "Aniang only has eyes for the prince, and so does Aye."
Han Da froze for a moment, "Your Majesty, His Majesty only rewarded you yesterday..."
"Those things..."
Li Xian smiled and said: "It's easy to use. By the way, wait for Qilang and go to fight cock with him."
Aunt Chen sighed, "Your Majesty, your majesty and the empress don't like cockfights, so why not go play football."
Li Xian frowned and looked at her, "It's none of your business what I like? If you weren't sent by Auntie, I'll kick you out right now."
Aunt Chen said with a wry smile: "I have worked so hard..."
"Your painstaking efforts will be handed over to your son!"
Aunt Chen was silent.
Jia Ping'an entered the hall, saw Auntie coaxing the child, and said puzzledly: "Taiping also cries a little too much, and he didn't do it like this back then."
Wu Mei sat there with her baby in her arms, and said angrily: "The three elder brothers took turns teasing her, why don't you think the little one is angry?"
Jia Pingan smiled, "I think she will be Jiaojiao from now on."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "My daughter, naturally she should be Jiaojiao."
As long as she doesn't meddle in government affairs.
Princess Taiping in history was ambitious and was eventually killed by Li Longji.
Wu Mei handed the baby to the wet nurse, rubbing the corners of her eyes, "It's more tiring to take care of the baby than reading the memorial."
Who said no!
Jia Pingan has a deep understanding of this.
Wu Mei looked at him with a serious expression, "The nobles have discussed it."
"They need a balance internally." Wu Mei said sarcastically, "They talk about morality, benevolence and righteousness, but they haven't heard anything for a long time. It's not for the country and the people, it's just difficult for everyone to agree."
"It's just male robbers and female prostitutes." Jia Pingan said casually.
Wu Mei frowned, "Nobles don't do that."
hehe!
Jia Pingan could only hehe.
Snapped!
Jia Pingan received a slap on the head.
"Speak well, hehe, you're so yin and yang!"
Wu Mei said: "It's hard to say what they will do. I have discussed with His Majesty, and they dare not come directly at us, otherwise they will lose face."
"Flip your face... His Majesty has an army in his hands."
Jia Ping'an narrowed his eyes, "However, this kind of thing can't be done until it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it will become an example. Once future generations feel that any force is inappropriate, they dare to send out an army to wipe it out. Everyone is in danger, how can there be security? ?”
"It's good that you know."
Wu Mei's eyes softened a bit, "You have to be careful. They will use soft knives against me and His Majesty, but they are not so secretive towards you. Peace, I really regret it now,
You should have been a minister and a duke earlier. You have to know that you now..."
She couldn't go on, Jia Pingan said with a smile: "I am not an opponent in their eyes now."
The Minister of the Ministry of War, the Duke of the county... But the old commanders are dying, and Jia Ping'an has lost his greatest support.
Wu Mei sighed: "It's safe...it's a pity."
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Sister, I'm not worried about this. I'm just a little curious, the gentry are like this...why never see them change their dynasties?"
"You mean Guan Long like that?"
Wu Mei didn't seem to know that the old Li family was the representative of Guan Long's rebellion, and said meaningfully: "Ping An, you have to remember, the more beautiful the flower blooms, the more thrilling it is, the faster it withers."
Jia Pingan understood, "Guanlong is like a flash in the pan, but the gentry subtly integrated themselves into this dynasty. It still exists for thousands of years, and they can still get what they want..."
He squinted, "They despise Guan Long and other idiots who use bloody means to seize power and money, and like to moisten things silently."
Wu Mei nodded, and said with relief: "I am very pleased that you can see this. In the eyes of the gentry, the royal family is only crowned with monkeys. The most noble in the world is their family..."
"It can be traced back, their ancestors were just mortals."
"right."
Wu Mei said calmly: "Their inheritance time is too long. Through marriage and other means, they have already been connected with many families."
"Big monster." With the explosion of information in later generations, Jia Ping'an immediately thought of many examples.
This is a huge force in a country within a country.
"right."
Wu Mei suddenly smiled, "The king and the horse share the world. Back then, the Wang family was like a colossus and dominated the front Jin Dynasty. Sima Rui..." She raised her eyebrows contemptuously to show her disdain for the Sima family, "Sima Rui said Wang Dao is the second father, and he often writes handwritten edicts with panic or pause, which is the beginning of the family's brilliance."
Jia Ping'an really didn't know this history.
"Director Wang is so powerful?"
Wu Mei said angrily: "It's because you are so ignorant that you are not good at studying. Director Wang is from the Langya Wang family."
Damn!
This group of so-called aristocratic families is really a disaster for thousands of years.
"You have to be careful!"
Wu Mei reminded her again and again... She was never so nervous about brother's safety when the elder Sun Wuji was around.
After leaving the palace, Jia Pingan didn't know who to look for, and finally wandered to the practice workshop.
Familiar brand, the words on it are not very good, Jia Pingan shouted: "Tsing Yi!"
"Who is looking for Tsing Yi?"
Amidst the fierce voice, Fan Ying came out. Seeing that it was Jia Ping'an, she said coldly, "Tsing Yi is not free."
"Mr. Jia."
Wei Qingyi came out.
Fan Ying's old face hasn't changed at all.
Jia Pingan entered Wei Qingyi's room, sat down and said, "Help me take a look."
Wei Qingyi raised his eyes, and there was a smile in his deep eyes, "What are you looking at?"
"Maybe it depends on my fortune in the past few years?"
Wei Qingyi shook his head, "The so-called fortune is actually following one's heart."
Not from the heart?
Jia Pingan was a little disappointed.
It turns out that an expert can't even see a person's fortune.
"Some people are vicious but full of blessings, wealth, longevity and happiness, and some are kind but short-lived. The so-called fortune depends on your words and deeds in addition to God's will. Sometimes an unintentional word or an unintentional trip can bring about changes. The so-called fortune ...How do you see it? The secrets of heaven are changing rapidly...unpredictable."
Wei Qingyi sat there on his knees, with a calm expression and an orchid-like temperament, which made people not feel blasphemous.
"That's all right."
Jia Pingan suddenly smiled.
He is not an invincible god, so when he learned that the Shandong gentry regarded him as a shrimp and was about to crush him, he was at a loss for the first time, and then subconsciously went to Wei Qingyi to see his luck.
Just like in later generations, a self-employed person has a grudge with a big listed company, and the big listed company vowed to bring him down...
what can I do?
"You're in trouble."
Wei Qingyi said calmly: "There are so many worries in the world of mortals, and you look so tired."
"Wife and children, property, friends, many related families, private affairs and official affairs are always endless."
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Have you got tired of this world of mortals?"
Wei Qingyi moved, but took the chessboard from under the table.
"Play chess."
"good!"
The two started talking by hand.
At this moment Li Yifu was laughing, but not very happy.
"Jia Ping wandered around all day, and didn't think about enlightenment at all."
The experts were still discussing actively, and Li Yifu stood outside the door and said with a smile: "This time, we will definitely beat Jia Pingan."
The confidant leaned forward and said, "My lord, something is wrong with those gentry."
"Their discussion is over."
Li Yifu smiled kindly, "There are too many people, and I can't make a decision at once, so I sent a few so-called celebrities, but those so-called celebrities were swollen by Jia Ping'an."
His confidant smiled, but he couldn't imitate Li Yifu's smile, "But once those people make a move, His Majesty and Empress Wu don't know if they can stop them, if they can't..."
Li Yifu's eyes were gloomy, "I can't stop it... that means the emperor and the family share the world."
The confidant's body shook, "The king and the horse..."
...
Jia Pingan killed Wei Qingyi in a game of chess without leaving a piece of armor.
"Your chess skills don't match those of the current world."
"Just figuring it out."
Master Jia was an amateur chess player in his previous life. Amateur chess players must first test their combat effectiveness. If the combat effectiveness is not good, others will resort to comebacks (messing around, making trouble out of nothing), and your good situation may be ruined.
So he used ten percent of his fighting power today, and Wei Qingyi knelt down directly.
"Thinking about..."
Wei Qingyi said meaningfully: "A lot of times it's not bad to think about it randomly."
Beat the master to death with random punches?
Jia Pingan thought this was a good statement.
Damn!
That's it!
It was impossible to get him to lie flat!
"Damn!"
Standing outside the duty room of the Ministry of War, Jia Pingan shouted happily.
Chen Jinfa came quietly, "Mr. Jia, the Cui family went to two celebrities, but Li Yi's mansion didn't agree, and the two sides started arguing."
"Want to compile an enlightenment book?"
"yes."
Once they decided to make a move, the methods of the gentry made people feel chills down the spine.
They set out to compile the enlightenment book, and they can imagine what the contents will be with their asses.
Depreciate the new learning from the root, and praise Confucianism.
Li Yifu was able to stand firm.
But breast stimulation is not very optimistic.
"Push your face..."
Cui Jian covered his face and came out of the official department hesitantly, "Xiao Jia!"
Jia Pingan rushed to the side suddenly and saw it clearly.
I go!
Slap print!
"Who did it?"
Jia Pingan asked coldly.
I kill him!
Cui Jian looked around, "Forget it, this matter... don't talk about it."
Jia Pingan understood.
"Thank you Brother Cui."
He bowed solemnly.
Cui Jian said in shame: "I can't help, there are many elders in the family, and Duke Yixuan is no longer here, otherwise he can still be here... hey!"
Cui's internal meeting set the general direction for the future.
"The thing about the school is to dig the root. When those people mentioned you, their eyes were wrong. Some said they wanted to take your head, and some said they wanted to ruin your reputation."
Cui Jian did not hesitate to say this.
The family was furious.
If you want to dig our roots, I will naturally dig your roots.
A song echoed in Jia Pingan's mind.
"It's in Chang'an."
Brother Cui left in a hurry after leaving a word.
It is in Chang'an, that is to say, if the scope of the school is controlled within the city of Chang'an, the gentry will make certain compromises.
Jia Pingan smiled, "What they want is the prosperity and wealth of the family, but what I want...they don't understand."
In the school, sir comes in.
"stand up!"
"sit down!"
"Open the first page of the textbook."
Sun Liang opened the first page of the textbook.
"Follow me." The gentleman raised his head, his eyes were full of piousness, "I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"
Sun Liang recited loudly along with the students.
"I am responsible for the rise and fall of the world!"
This is an elementary class, and the students are almost all semi-literate.
They are all young!
Every child raised his face, and that immature face was full of...
"This is hope!"
Mr. smiled.
...
Li Yifu realized that he had made a mistake.
"Go and find out how many of those people are related to the family!"
Hope not much!
He made a guess from the perspective of conspiracy theory.
"Those aristocratic families have great means. If they want to do something, how can they be so bright?"
wrong!
The more Li Yifu thought about it, the more wrong he became, that familiar smile disappeared, and he paced gloomyly in the duty room.
"I can despise anyone, but I dare not despise the family. Once these people want to trick someone, the means are beyond your imagination..."
The confidant coughed dryly, and when Li Yifu looked over with a frown, he said softly: "They messed with Jia Ping'an... This is a good thing! Mr.!"
Li Yifu said coldly: "I wish I could let Jia Pingan die, but I am in charge of compiling the Enlightenment Book. If something goes wrong, do you think this old man can get away with it?"
The confidant's complexion changed slightly, and he hurried away.
...
On the second day, as soon as Li Yifu arrived at the duty room, his confidants came in.
"And wait."
Li Yifu was having breakfast... There was Hoto in an open bottle, and he ate it with a long-handled spoon.
The Tang Dynasty did not allow high-ranking officials to enter the market, let alone eat on the road. Even as domineering as Li Yifu, he could only put Hoto in porcelain vases and bring them to the value house to eat.
The Hoto was steaming hot, and the confidants smelled the aroma of bone soup, with a slight mutton smell.
Jia Pingan, a famous gourmand in the Tang Dynasty, said that mutton without any mutton smell is not good.
The same is true for Li Yifu. Mutton and mutton soup must have the smell of mutton. You want to say that my sheep eats herbs, so it doesn't smell like sheep... Sorry, I don't like it.
Jia Pingan also has another saying in private: stinky tofu advertises that it is not stinky, so is it still stinky tofu?
Li Yifu ate faster and faster.
When eating hot noodles with soup, the mouth and throat gradually adapt to the hotness, and it will become faster and faster.
There were many beads of sweat on his forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe it, and he kept eating Hoto.
At the end of the meal, he kept digging at the bottom of the bottle with a spoon, eating the soup and residue with a look of intoxication.
When he couldn't scoop any more, Li Yifu lifted the porcelain bottle and poured it into his mouth.
After drinking the last sip of soup, he wiped his mouth and sighed contentedly.
It can be said.
The confidant said: "More than ten people inside are related to the clan."
Li Yifu heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes became more stern, "A group of low dog slaves, this was premeditated, but the old man missed it."
The confidant said anxiously: "Master, get out."
Li Yifu smiled kindly, "Get out... What excuse do you use?"
Well!
The confidant thought for a while, but couldn't think of any excuse.
Li Yifu said indifferently: "Jia Ping'an is going to be in trouble, but before that, the old man has to go to the palace, otherwise Jia Ping'an will be in bad luck... The queen is afraid that she will be furious, and the old man will be in trouble."
He hurried into the palace.
The emperor is very busy.
"Your Majesty is discussing matters with Li Xiang."
Li Xiang here refers to Li Ji.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Tubo is aggressive and will become a serious problem sooner or later. Tuyuhun is a place of war, but Tubo was defeated here, so the old minister thinks that Lu Dongzan will definitely attack Anxi..."
Li Ji said very calmly, "In this way, there should be a safe and famous general in the Western Regions, and the veteran is willing to go."
Li Zhi said indifferently: "But I can't do without Duke Ying."
Li Ji was sad for a long time, Wang Zhongliang couldn't help feeling that the emperor was too nostalgic.
Since the British public wants to go, let him go!
Li Ji sighed and said: "So, the old minister recommends someone."
Li Zhi nodded, "The British prince has a keen eye, and the recommended person must be good."
Shouldn't the emperor just keep quiet and wait for the British government to name a candidate before making a decision?
Wang Zhongliang felt that the emperor made a lot of mistakes today.
Li Ji smiled and said: "The veteran thought that Jia Ping'an could go to the Western Regions to sit in town."
In an instant, Wang Zhongliang understood.
The gentry counterattacked, and the emperor and empress were able to deal with it, but it was difficult for Jia Pingan to deal with it.
The tacit agreement between the British prince and the emperor was actually to let Jia Pingan temporarily avoid the whirlpool.
Wonderful!
Wang Zhongliang couldn't help scratching his head.
Li Zhi pondered, and said for a long time: "This statement is very true, and I will consider it."
This consideration is all about timing.
But sooner rather than later.
The queen is losing her temper in the bedroom.
"Who said Ping'an is a traitor? Neither Your Majesty nor I said that, but they are very good-looking!"
The queen looked cold and serious, and Shao Peng swore that he saw the murderous intent.
Li Yifu came, told the matter, and finally pleaded guilty, "Your negligence."
He lowered his head, not seeing the coldness in the Queen's eyes.
A servant came in hurriedly, "Queen, Your Majesty said that someone from the Western Regions should go to sit in charge."
Wu Mei was startled, then smiled and said: "Your Majesty is indeed His Majesty."
Shaopeng wanted to roll his eyes... The empress even spat out a few words to His Majesty earlier.
Wu Mei rejoiced, "Is it safe? Go and find it soon."
Li Yifu went back in a hurry, and said to his confidant: "The empress still cares about Jia Ping'an, this matter must be taken seriously, just keep an eye on those ten or so people, that's all, the old man will go in person, and delete everything they wrote that is inappropriate!"
Jia Ping'an was outside the official department at the moment, holding a book in his hand, with a casual expression on his face.
"Let me ask those people, is the enlightenment book ready? If not, I have one here."
Jia Pingan smiled very calmly.
Li Yifu scolded after hearing the news: "He still dares to come... This is shameful for coming here on his own initiative! Forget it, let him come in, and the old man will go and have a look."
Because Li Yifu is in charge of the matter, those experts are all concentrated in the Ministry of Officials.
At this moment, there was a lot of noise in the duty room.
"Wang Mang is a traitor, how can he be mentioned in the enlightenment book?"
"The first emperor is violent, you should abandon him!"
Amidst the noise, someone inadvertently glanced outside the door.
"Jia Pingan!?"
