Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 444
"Yang Neiguan's craftsmanship is still the best. My Moon Shadow is not as old as yours."

Yang Qu helped Li You put on the clothes. Li You admired him, and Yang Qu smiled slightly: "Our family doesn't know anything, so we know how to wear clothes. If Your Highness doesn't give up, our family will wear them for His Highness." clothing."

These words have the meaning of letting Li You take him in.

The profession of eunuch is very sad. Most people, based on the idea of ​​"rather offending a gentleman than a villain", seem to respect them on the surface, but in fact they respect them at a distance.

As we all know, eunuchs have to be physically tortured before entering the profession.After entering the industry, they are often accompanied by the rich and powerful. Not only do they have to endure mental torture, but if the nobles don't like them, they even become punching bags for beatings and scolding.Many eunuchs stayed in the deep palace for decades and were eventually eliminated.

When the eunuchs are too old to work, the eunuchs will not be allowed to die in the palace.Generally speaking, eunuchs will retire on their own or the person in charge of this matter in the palace will arrange for them to leave the palace and spend their old age outside the palace.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the status of eunuchs was not very high. Even if Yang Qu was Li Shimin's confidant, his best result in the end was just to live outside the palace, because this is already a good result. Other eunuchs, Most of them would go outside the palace to set up a shelter, which was specially designed to accommodate retired eunuchs, and the eunuchs only needed to pay the rent to live in the guild.

The eunuch has saved money in the palace all his life, just so that he can enter and live here in the future.

Some eunuchs have a good relationship with the people in the temple. When they were in the palace, they often donated incense money and repaired the temple. After retirement, they can directly live in the temple. Of course, they also need to send some incense money to the temple.

It's just because of their identities and the concepts of the predecessors, it is generally difficult for many of them to enter the ancestral graves for burial after death.Therefore, many eunuchs will buy a piece of geomantic treasure land next to the temple for their own affairs.

For example, the current Zhongguancun in Beijing used to be called "Zhongguan Tomb". Zhongguan refers to eunuchs. Since the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs mostly built temples and pension manors here, and they were mostly buried here after death.

The meaning of Yang Qu's words just now is that after he leaves the palace, he hopes to live in Dunhuafang. Because he has been a slave all his life, Yang Qu likes a place without class like Dunhuafang, let alone his relatives here.

"Of course. Even if Neiguan Yang refuses, then I will also invite Neiguan Yang to come over. I like whoever makes Neiguan Yang dress well." Li You heard the meaning of the other party.

Yang Qu also smiled happily: "Then our family really has to thank Your Highness."

Seeing Yang Qu happy, Li You made a gesture of invitation at this time, asked Yang Qu to sit down, and then called Yueying to bring two cups of tea. Later, the two also got to the point.

"Your Highness, this time His Majesty asked our family to come to you, just to tell you that the balloon should go to the sky. After this, His Majesty hopes that you will also push the football up."

Yang Qu's words made Li You a little surprised: "Yang Neiguan, since when did the father care about this matter?"

To be honest, Li You didn't quite understand. He didn't know why his father cared about his balloon going up to the sky and the popularization of football. You shouldn't. Although Li Shimin was also interested in these two things, this The interest is not enough for Li Shimin to make an order for himself for them.

Seeing Li You's confusion, Yang Qu looked at Li You and whispered, "Your Highness, when you were not in Chang'an, a big event happened, that is, the assassination of His Royal Highness King Wei.

Fortunately, although His Royal Highness King Wei was slashed, nothing happened, but the people below were talking too much nonsense. I don't know what happened, but a rumor came out that the beneficiary of this assassination was His Highness the Crown Prince.

When His Majesty found out, he was furious, but His Majesty couldn't suppress these rumors, so His Majesty thought of using other things to attract the attention of the public. "

"Understood..." Li You chuckled: "My king's balloon flying and football match will definitely calm the rumors in Chang'an for a while."

This trick is not only used in ancient times, but it is also very useful in modern times. It is the current Bangzi country. Whenever there is a scandal, it will immediately make a celebrity love to divert the attention of the people.

It's a small operation, so simple, but it works.

"Yeah." Seeing that Li You understood, Yang Qu didn't say anything else. However, just as he was about to leave, Yang Qu looked at Li You again and said, "Your Highness. Your Majesty still has feelings for His Highness the Crown Prince. Since this incident happened, His Majesty has been protecting His Highness the Crown Prince, so His Highness must know that you must not stand in line, and you must not express any words that are unfavorable to the other party in front of His Majesty.

They are your elder brothers, you must respect them from the bottom of your heart, so that His Highness can be safe. "

These words are also from the heart of Yang Qu, Li You quickly stood up and said: "Thank you, Neiguan Yang, this king knows what to do..."

"That's good, that's good. Our family is getting old, so we talk too much. We will forget what we said today. Your Highness, then our family will leave first."

Li You also got up and saw him off, "Minister, go slowly!"

Just after Yang Qu left, Li Mingda came out rubbing his eyes: "Who's here?"

Last night, Li Mingdong and Li Zhi played until the early hours of the morning. If they were not really sleepy, they would not have come back.

Looking at Li Mingda's dark circles, Li You laughed: "How long did you play last night?"

"It wasn't too late when we came back, it was still very lively outside." Li Mingda replied.

Li You on the side said speechlessly: "Of course it's lively. You must know that the theater troupe I invited will play until dawn, and it will be played for three days. They may just fall asleep now."

"Hee hee..." Knowing that he couldn't fool his fifth brother, Li Mingda smiled and said, "It should be after three o'clock in the morning. I.

Later, I asked me to send him to the concubine mother. I really didn’t know what to say. I asked him to come here, and he wouldn’t come if he died. He also said that he was going to accompany the concubine mother. How long have you been sleeping, and you still need to accompany me? "

Li Mingda was speechless, and immediately said to Li You: "Fifth Brother, let me tell you something, I don't think that kid Ninth Brother is going to pay back your six thousand guan."

At this time, Li Mingda did not forget to put eye drops on his ninth brother. You must know that Li Mingda and Li Zhi have been fighting for the ownership of Li You, saying that Li You should belong to him, and Li You's things should belong to him even more. , one of the two confuses Li You with cuteness, but the other is not stupid, knowing to follow Concubine Yin closely with filial piety.

Whenever there is a chance, the two will hurt each other. However, Li You is very clear that these two people are the ones who love each other the most. Don't look at the tit-for-tat now, but as long as the other party is in trouble, then this one here will definitely Will try to protect each other.

Smiling slightly, Li You patted Li Mingda's little head: "I'm not going to ask your ninth brother to pay it back. Last night, my mother and concubine even said hello. The childish slave is poor, so I don't want the money."

"He pays off..." Li Mingda said absurdly: "My concubine was cheated, this guy is short of going to Pingkangfang. He has a lot of money, which was stolen from you, fifth brother. Those golden melon seeds, originally For the box, there is only half a box left now, alas, I want to tell Concubine Mu."

As he spoke, the little guy ran out, but was stopped by Li You and said, "Don't argue with you, you have already taken 40 coins from me, by the way, what about your princess mansion? Time to start work?"

"This winter. Di Renjie said that in winter, the people in the surrounding area basically have no work. At this time, we can let them work part-time, so that we can earn more money for them and live a good year."

Li You laughed, Di Renjie is really good, he knows how to treat the people well, he deserves to be the future prime minister.

"Yeah." Li You smiled appreciatively: "You and I go to have breakfast, after breakfast, you give me a trip to the Imperial College, and say that you will take a hot air balloon ride tomorrow."

"Really...!" Li Mingda said happily: "Okay, I see, let's go, fifth brother, let's go to eat, and I will go after breakfast, alas, I can finally go to heaven..."

Li Mingda was very happy.

However, Li You shook his head slightly in his heart. It is impossible for him to let Li Mingda go to heaven. If Li Shimin knew about it, he would not tear himself apart, so Li Mingda was doomed to only look forward to it, and it was absolutely impossible for him to go to heaven.

Li Mingda finished his breakfast in a hurry, knowing how this guy got out, he ran away as soon as he finished eating, and asked Li You's carriage to leave.

After that, I went to the Imperial College in a carriage. After arriving at the Imperial College, when Li Mingda announced that he would be able to fly into the sky tomorrow, to be honest, the students of the Imperial College were also surprised. They thought their money was just cheated away. .

During this period of time, after Li Mingda took the money away, there was no more news from Feitian. Everyone thought they were cheated by Li Mingda, but everyone dared not speak out because of being cheated by Li Mingda. Li Mingda is Li Shimin's favorite little princess, who would want to fight against Li Mingda.

Now I really didn't expect that Li Mingda actually came over at this time and said that Feitian can start tomorrow, whoops. All the students were surprised at first and then happy. No matter what, the money is meaningful.

If Feitian is successful, then their money can let them fly into the sky, but if Feitian is not successful, then Li Mingda should not cheat and not lose money. Anyway, his money is meaningful, not being cheated.

Thinking of this, all the Guozijian students smiled, and the news that Li You was going to fly to the sky tomorrow spread quickly from the Guozijian.

It took less than three hours, and the biggest topic in Chang'an City became that Li You wanted to fly into the sky. As for the prince assassinating His Highness the King of Wei, it was no longer the freshest topic of conversation, and this was what Li Shimin wanted. .
