Chapter 743: The Great Ceremony
…
evening.
Li Yan, who was exhausted, brought a group of female guards to the city's experimental fields to harvest sweet potatoes. Therefore, during the day, Li Yan personally checked this crucial crop and told the sweet potatoes that were harvesting some precautions.
Thinking that Li Qingzhao was so old that it was not easy to get pregnant and needed comfort, Li Yan asked someone to travel to the villa and wanted to accompany Li Qingzhao.
Li Yan was so concerned about Li Qingzhao that Chen Liqing, Hu Sanniang, Qiongying and others couldn't help but feel a little chewy.
Chen Liqing, who has never been polite to Li Yan, said bluntly: "I didn't see you so concerned when I was pregnant!"
Li Yan said: "She has a baby that is like a life-threatening death. I don't care much about her. Can she overcome this difficulty?"
Chen Liqing snorted, ignored Li Yan, turned her head and talked to Hu Sanniang and Qiongying about martial arts and children.
There are too many such things, and they even happen every day, so if they really eat Li Yan's jealousy, they will not be drowned by the sea of jealousy.
Besides, they have experienced all the things that they should have experienced as Li Yan, and they have given birth to several children. Therefore, they are no longer so enthusiastic about the things between men and women. Moreover, they don’t have to compete for favor like many women to appear by Li Yan. As long as they are willing, they can even be around Li Yan every day. So, now it has even evolved. They can hide when they can and escape when they can. Only when Li Yan really misses them will they be strong and cheer up to serve Li Yan.
Let's stop talking.
When Li Yan arrived at the villa, Li Qingzhao and Wang, who had already received the notice, were already waiting for Li Yan at the door.
Li Qingzhao and Wang welcomed Li Yan in very attentively, and then served Li Yan very attentively to wash and eat.
After the meal, Li Qingzhao and Wang insisted on giving Li Yan a massage and pounding his legs.
Li Yan always enjoyed it quietly.
Until Li Qingzhao and Wang could not hold it in, Li Yan continued to enjoy the massage and pounding of his legs by Li Qingzhao and Wang, and said, "Tell me, what do you have to ask me for?"
Seeing that Li Yan finally spoke, Li Qingzhao and Wang, especially Li Qingzhao, breathed a sigh of relief!
Li Qingzhao said: "How do the official family know that I have something to ask for?"
Li Yan smiled and said, "It's okay for Minmin. You, Li, are all so silly to serve me. If you say you have nothing to ask for, who would believe me?"
Li Qingzhao's face turned red, feeling that she had done something just now.
but
In order to compile that great ritual, Li Qingzhao did not regret doing these things.
That is a great good thing that will benefit generations!
Li Qingzhao tried hard to beat Li Yan a few more times, and then said, "I heard that the official is preparing to compile a great ceremony?"
Li Yan immediately understood what Li Qingzhao was asking for, but he still said calmly: "There is such a thing, but I haven't decided who to compile it yet. You also know that it is impossible for someone with great knowledge to take on this great task."
Li Qingzhao immediately recommended himself and said, "Let me go and compile it. I promise to compile the most complete and best ritual for the official family!"
Li Yan listened to the words and remained silent.
Seeing this, Li Qingzhao asked tentatively: "Is the official family worried that my concubine is not capable, or is it afraid that I will show up in public?"
Li Yan said: "Not all, with your literary literacy, you will definitely be able to do this. Even if your ability is really insufficient, I can also arrange some current literary masters to assist you in doing this, but your body..."
Li Qingzhao said: "The official family does not have to worry about my body. I promise to do it within my ability, and I cannot be anxious about this matter. I will treat it as a lifelong career."
After hearing what Li Qingzhao said, Li Yan felt relieved and said, "Since you are willing to do this, you will do it."
Seeing that Li Yan agreed, Li Qingzhao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the grace of the official!"
Li Yan said: "You don't have to thank me. If you can really compile this great ritual well, I, the people of the world, including future generations, should thank you."
Li Qingzhao understood Li Yan's meaning.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Qingzhao gritted her teeth, and then asked bluntly: "I wonder how many people the official family is planning to use to compile this great ceremony?"
When talking about the four words "The Great Ecclesiasm", Li Qingzhao deliberately added accent and reminded Li Yan, "This is not a general book, and it is impossible to specify if there are fewer people."
When Li Yan heard this, he stretched out his hand and pinched Li Qingzhao's face, and said, "Are I the kind of petty person who is so petty? Is this kind of trick with me?"
No one has ever squeezed Li Qingzhao's face, including Zhao Mingcheng, first of all, Zhao Mingcheng claims to be a gentleman, and he pays attention to feelings and stops etiquette, and does not do such things. Secondly, Zhao Mingcheng has always been ashamed of himself before Li Qingzhao, so how dare he do such things?
Therefore, this made Li Qingzhao's mind flutter, and then she seemed to be acting coquettishly in Li Yan, saying, "How many concubines are the officials planning to give?"
Li Yan grabbed Li Qingzhao's hand and pulled it gently. Li Qingzhao sat in Li Yan's arms. Then Li Yan said to Li Qingzhao in his arms: "No limit on the number of people you have or your funds. As many people you lack, you will recruit as many people as you have. As much funds you have, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate you as much funds. Do you think this is OK?"
Li Qingzhao said happily: "Really?"
Li Yan said with a stern face: "You have no jokes."
After getting Li Yan's confirmation, Li Qingzhao kissed Li Yan "snatched" and said, "I must compile a great ceremony for the official family, the world, and future generations!"
Li Yan said: "Okay! If you can really compile such a grand ceremony, I will bring one into the coffin after I die!"
Wang quickly said, "Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! The official family cannot say such words. You are prosperous in spring and autumn and can live long, how can you die!"
Li Yan smiled "haha" and said, "Who can survive without death? How can I be an exception? What's so scary about death? The key is whether you can live a wonderful life... Well, this matter is decided. If you can really compile a great ceremony that covers everything, I will have someone carved it on an iron plate and brought it into the coffin."
This statement made everyone see Li Yan's open-mindedness, and then made everyone in the same siege admire Li Yan!
Li Yan said with some regret: "It's a pity that I have to find another historian!"
Li Qingzhao heard the words and said, "If the official family can agree to the concubine, the historian and the concubine can also be both."
Li Yan said without comment: "Can you be busy?"
Li Qingzhao said: "I have never forgotten everything since I was a child. I believe I can take into account these two things, but I have one concern."
Li Yan asked: "What are your concerns?"
Li Qingzhao did not hide it and said directly: "Can the official do it? Do you not read the content recorded by the concubine? Let the concubine give it a must-write?"
For a long time, emperors and historians have always wanted to "cover evil and promote good", one should "write things directly, not cover their flaws"; one should "put on the wrong words in writing", one should "write the king's letter"; one should "create a monument for oneself", and the other should "exhort for future generations."
Two purposes and two standards are in the opposite direction, forming a sharp contradiction and competition between two forces.
The result of the competition is often that those who overwhelm power will be stronger than those who are pen-like.
Therefore, the historians suffered repeated disasters.
That's fine, the key is that historians cannot remember it with truth.
This is what the historians are most heartbroken.
Li Qingzhao didn't want her to compete with Li Yan like this, and she didn't want to make up history against her will, so she wanted Li Yan to have a guarantee.
Li Yan smiled and said, "Do you think I am the kind of emperor who dares not face his right and wrong, merits and demerits?"
Li Qingzhao looked upright and said, "Tang Taizong Li Shimin is also an emperor of all ages. He also forced the historians to read the records, and did he also tamper with history?"
After hearing this, Li Yan was silent for a while, and then said to Tianming: "I swear that I will never read the records of the historian. If I violate this oath, I will teach me..."
Wang's eyes were quick and quick, covering Li Yan's mouth, and then said to Li Qingzhao: "Since the official has sweared, he will naturally not regret it. Sister, don't worry, be this historian."
Li Yan nodded secretly about Wang's reaction and practice.
It’s not that Li Yanfa cannot afford to swear, but that Li Qingzhao cannot afford to swear by Li Yan.
Once Li Yan’s oath is really made, the censor will definitely impeach Li Qingzhao tomorrow.
You should know that there is nothing small about you, let alone a big vow?
How could Li Qingzhao, who grew up in a family of officials, not understand this principle?
So, Li Qingzhao quickly apologized and said, "I am wrong, please punish the official."
Li Yan said: "No need to do this. Even if I send the oath I just made, it will not implicate you. However, since it has not been made, it is better to have less than more things. I promise not to read what you have recorded. Even if you tell me that I am lewd and incompetent, I will never read what you have recorded. I will have to comment on the right and wrong of my life, so that future generations can judge it."
Li Qingzhao was not only telling the truth but also testing Li Yan's attitude, saying: "Don't worry, the official family is a historian, and the official family cannot escape the evaluation of "extremely lustful".
When Li Yan heard the words, he was stunned at first, then smiled "haha" and said, "It's too licentious, so I'm not a saint, so how can I not leave any words for future generations to criticize?"
After saying that, Li Yan hugged Chen Liqing, Hu Sanniang, Qiongying, Yelu Dalibo and more than 20 female guards picked out by Li Yan to the bedroom. He wanted to carry out the licentiousness to the end...
