Chapter 17 The Night Comes and Rains (2)
.Chapter 17: Storm and Rain Come Night (2)
"I'm still..."
"The reason is very simple. Whether Taoism, Buddhism or Catholicism, there are some taboos. For example, Taoism prohibits drinking alcohol, eating spicy food, dizziness, sitting together, fearing death, anger, running away, sadness, and seeing blood and qi. Buddhism does not kill, steal, yin, lying, or drinking alcohol. These are the five precepts, there are eight precepts, ten precepts, four hundred precepts of Bodhisattvas, two hundred precepts of monks, and five hundred precepts of nuns. Catholicism also has some precepts, respecting God, not making false vows, keeping rituals and Sundays, filial to parents and teachers, not killing and harming people, not doing evil deeds, do not steal, do not slander, do not greedy for other people's money and property."
When he heard that he was not greedy for his son, Di Hui couldn't help but smile. Li Wei also talked about Western knowledge, and talked about monogamy. He didn't object too much, but he said it directly that it was unlikely that it would be truly implemented, such as Western countries, which were monogamy on the surface, but in fact, love was everywhere, and their children were all over the ground. Their lifestyle was far more luàn than the Central Plains.
But after hearing Li Wei's words, Xiangdai seriously drew a cross in the xiong and murmured.
Li Wei said again: "There are other precepts, such as monogamy, greed, vain, lying and deceitfulness, etc. Although Princess Xiangde is the princess of the Frank Kingdom, her whole family has no wealth, and she fled in a hurry. It is impossible for her to bring much property to the Tang Dynasty..."
Di Hui also understood this statement. Although Xiangdai has thin clothes on her body today, she uses the most luxurious silk fabric, which is very expensive. In particular, cotton huā has gradually become popular, sailing has begun again, and the sericulture industry has shrunk, resulting in silk prices rising instead of decreasing.
"She grew up in a monastery in Ireland and is the most devout Catholic. Why did she wear this outfit today? If she didn't have this outfit, would Wu Chengsi be valued?"
"I understand."
"I..." Xiangdai was in tears. After most of the day, she suddenly wiped her tears with her sleeves and said resentfully: "I know that Emperor, you are smart, hard to match since ancient times, why do you ask?"
"No matter how smart I am, I am not as smart as you prophet Moses. Even if I help you, I will ask the reason."
"This dress was bought by several bishops and some noble disciples from our country. They raised some money. It is inconvenient for you to be in the palace, but it happened to be on a tour, so I asked me to join you..." Xiangdai was very unwilling to his will. The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.
Li Wei and Ji NV were both amused and crying, and Yang Min secretly pulled Xu Li's sleeves, which meant that she was just like you back then, taking the initiative to chase the emperor.
"You are wrong. Even if you don't wear this gorgeous outfit, I won't say you are ugly. After wearing it, your eyes may lit up, but I won't take it because you are beautiful. How many beautiful NV boys are there in the world? Do I want to include them one by one in the palace?"
"I, I..."
"Don't say anything. I understand that Duke Zhou is the queen mother's nephew, the son of my mother and brother. He has a close relationship with me... No matter you, you can only be his concubine, obediently, and care about you. Do you know, how much trouble will you cause for me?"
I didn't finish my speech just now.
I said a meaningful word, as long as the Wu brothers do not go deep into the affairs of government affairs and royal family, they can protect their glory and wealth. It is impossible not to do it. My mother supports Zhu Wu to come to power, just to be a helper, but she can only be a small supporting role. Never do not do this king or that man like in history. This is her own limit and it is also a promise.
Wu Chengsi himself is extremely fond of, and everyone in Luoyang knows it.
Well, there is no big mistake in this era. It’s a man. A normal man, how many people don’t like beauty, as long as they don’t do evil.
Wu Chengsi had already taken Zhu Wu to the Sifang Pavilion, which shows his love for Xiang Dai. If he had difficulty in blocking his hand, what excuses would he use? Or, I have already set my sights on the distant Europe and prepared to use the power to destroy European civilization and eliminate the biggest hidden dangers in China in the future? How many people believe it? I am afraid that not only do not believe it, but also advised him to be ambitious, the ministers who would kneel down the East Palace. If they forcibly block it, they would immediately get evil with Zhu Wu.
The relationship that I finally eased today will soon enter freezing point.
Without the cooperation of my mother, how can I implement some reforms that are beneficial to the country?
"But you are the emperor."
"Yes, I am the emperor, and I also have to take into account all forces. For example, your father, isn't he the emperor?"
"What should I do?"
"What are you doing? What should you pay attention to in the future? A good piece of beauty can attract the greed of countless people. A beautiful nv son will also attract the pursuit of many people. So the palace prime minister of your country wants you to be his love. This is the same when we came to the Tang Dynasty. You were originally beautiful and had a foreign style. My wives and concubines all looked as beautiful as you, and they also praised your beauty and charm. Wearing fresh clothes, we still had to show off the market, without Duke Zhou, and others. Although you are a princess, a princess in a backward country is very far away from our Tang Dynasty. There is no involvement in it. Since ancient times, nv son's status has been very low. Do you think about the result?"
"No, I just went to the East Market to think about whether there was a suitable horse. The horse I brought was frozen to death on the road."
"You go back first and listen to me. If you don't listen to me, you will not be able to protect you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xiangdai heard Li Wei's voice softening, and finally had a surprise in her eyes, and she bowed and took her back.
"Your Majesty, this Duke of Zhou is very hateful. Last time..." Xu Li said quickly.
"Unlike the last time, it was husband's fu last time, and he was engaged, but this princess was not engaged. Maybe after hearing about it, the queen of the mother would take the initiative to include this princess in Duke Zhou's mansion to reduce the wind."
There is another way to directly include this Xiangdai in the Eastern Palace. Now Wu Chengsi gives him the courage to rob him of the NV people. Wu Chengsi has no criticism, and he is not a good person anyway, but can he accept him? After thinking about it, he said, "Where is the person coming, please come out of the palace and invite Duke Zhou to the Eastern Palace to see him."
However, Wei Yue frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I have a word."
"Yue'er, tell me."
"Your Majesty, there are many beautiful nv sons in the world, and there are also many pitiful nv sons in the world. They are just a fleeing princess in a distant country. The princess is a honorable title. To be honest, even the little lady of a noble family in our Tang Dynasty is not as good as that of the young lady. If Your Majesty feels embarrassed, there is no need to fight."
"Well, the fact that you can say this also proves that you have grown up."
Wei Yue came over and said in his ear, "So can I spend time with you?"
"...No, your heart has grown up, your body has not grown up yet, very quickly." After Li Wei finished speaking, he looked at Wei Yue again. Although he was young, he began to develop. The childishness on his face gradually disappeared, and several peerless faces quietly flowed from his eyebrows and face. But this sentence was very rational, and it can also be seen that her heart was decisive and ruthless. Li Wei felt a lot of conflicts with this young man. He looked at himself very much at the moment, and his wisdom was also on the verge of his head. What was worried was that her heart might not be unkind, but she would not be weak after being determined.
He could not say in depth, and said, "Why did Lunqinling defeat Liu Shenli's army in Qinghai defeat and put me in a heavy siege? Lunqinling arranged some backhand, and I also arranged some backhand, not only in Tubo, but also in the future, Dashi, a great enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and this princess was an important pawn in the backhand. It was not for me, but for this country."
"Your Majesty, I'm talking too much."
"You are good, and you are all good. I like it very much. Are you ready for your luggage?"
He replied in unison: "It's ready."
Even Shangguan Wan'er was overjoyed when she could hear her leaving the palace.
Ye Ci Mingyue cheered like a child.
Wu Chengsi did not come for a while, but Li Xian and the other three returned from Shangyang Palace.
Li Lingyue rushed over excitedly, hugged Li Wei and said, "Brother, the father and mother agreed, but let me tell you something, you can bring us three, but at least one hundred soldiers will be added to protect you."
"I agreed so soon?" Li Wei asked suspiciously.
Li Xian and Li Xulun both had strange expressions on their faces. Li Wei knew it and had to shake his head. He didn't know what kind of obsessive methods this little girl used to make her parents compromise.
"But this journey is very hard," suddenly remembered something and said, "Come here, go to Wei Hongqing's mansion to upload my book, and ask him to prepare it, and go on a tour with me tomorrow."
"Brother, do you want to use Wei Hongji?" Li Lingyue asked curiously.
"Maybe, he still has some talent, but he has to use the right place. His advocacy destined that he could not become a loyal minister, but he was very knowledgeable about civil engineering and business skills. If the country wants to have more arable land, it must build a large amount of water conservancy. With this person's overall arrangement, he not only understands water conservancy, but also saves more money for the court. In the past, some people said that I was promoting profit and neglecting virtue. What I eat and wear has always been very restrained. This promotion of profit is not for myself, but for the country and the people. Isn't it moral?"
"Brother, I left the palace today and heard many people talking about it in the yard, all of which said that my brother was a good emperor that has never been seen in the ages."
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and it is the beginning. How can there be good or bad? Without a coffin, can a good emperor reach a conclusion? Hey, why are your clothes wet?"
“It’s raining outside.”
"It's raining," Li Wei pushed Li Lingyue away from his arms, came to the window, and looked out the window, and the night was pale, and a trace of rain drifted into the pane. The rain was not heavy, but it started to blow wind, and I couldn't see the scenery in the sky, but through the dark face, I could also know that there were heavy dark clouds piled up in the world at this moment. He said, "Since my father and mother agreed to you to travel, you should go back early to prepare."
"Yes," the three brothers and sisters left.
Seeing their backs disappear, Li Wei sighed and said, "But one person is missing."
Several NV students knew who he was referring to, but they all dared not speak.
The wind finally got strong and swept across the roof of the palace. Because of the barriers, an angry scream was made, and the heavy raindrops fell. The sound of fried broad beans, firecrackers, and pearls fell. A noisy jiāo sound was played between heaven and earth.
Li Wei stood at the entrance of the main hall, looked outside the hall, stood for a while, and said, "Although there is wind and rain, it will eventually rain and clear."
"It will definitely be," Shangguan Wan'er heard what he was saying, and took Li Wei's hand and said.
"It's not necessarily true, it's inevitable," Li Wei said, smiled heartily, walked to the table again, and picked up the memorial. Some had to review it immediately, while others could not read it, and they could not delay. They had to return to the mother's hand.
Several NV children sat quietly by their side to accompany each other.
Although the system Wu Zetian said makes sense, Li Wei gave his sincerity, and the Eastern Palace is more harmonious than in previous dynasties at least now.
