It goes without saying that people of different times look at things in different ways.
At least in Li Xian's opinion, actual rewards are much better than spiritual rewards.
Later generations have long had enough of paying labor or money for so-called "honor" and gimmicks, but now that he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, he discovered that it seemed that this time was no less generous than later generations.
A sheep's head is just a sheep's head, it's still meat to some extent.
The staple food is rice, which is not much different from that of later generations, except that the grains are smaller.
Li Xian forcibly ignored the obvious missing piece in his rice bowl. After all, people are like iron rice and steel. You can't stop eating just because your food has been tasted by others.
Knowing that everyone was worried about him, he specially arranged for someone to test the poison, but Li Xian, who had always been a bit of a germaphobe, still couldn't stand it.
However, from this arrangement, we can also see that the situation in Chang'an is not very optimistic.
Regime change has always been a top priority for a country. Although the transfer of the crown prince's position is not as high as the transfer of imperial power, the importance is similar.
There is one emperor and one courtier. Therefore, for the middle-aged and high-ranking courtiers in the court now, who the prince is has too much influence.
Given their age and the current emperor's physical condition, there is a high probability that they will undergo a change of power.
For those who are greedy for power, if they have a better relationship with the prince, they can survive this change smoothly. And if you become the prince's confidant, you can even improve your status in the new dynasty.
For people who are not greedy for power, it is still necessary to consider the choice of the prince. If the prince meets the conditions to become a virtuous king, he will naturally benefit the country and the people in the future. But if a bad guy becomes an emperor, the consequences are self-evident.
A prince's desire to secure his position is far from being decided by the emperor alone. The ministers seemed to be under the royal family, but because of their interference, there were not only one or two princes in history who were dismissed.
Li Yong at the door looked at King Yong blankly. She didn't know why he didn't order the rice plate to be removed after finishing the meal. Instead, he was biting his chopsticks and thinking about something.
Such behavior is very rude for a member of the royal family, but Li Yun did not intend to interfere. As a slave, he knows very well how sad people are behind the surface. Even the current emperor, after returning to the harem, has to take off his majestic mask and become decadent, sad, disappointed...
The emperor is also a human being and has his own joys and sorrows.
The emperor is like this, let alone King Yong.
After being obsessed with thinking about something, he loses sight of everything around him. This is a problem that Li Xian himself knows very well. Because of this problem, he was also jokingly called "Fei Feixian" by his colleagues, or "Feifei Xian" for short.
After going through the current court environment and changes in interpersonal relationships in his mind, Li Xiancai forced himself to withdraw from thinking.
Seeing Li Yun's weird expression at the door, Li Xian coughed lightly and said, "When I am thinking about something, don't interrupt me if there is nothing else. Of course, if there is something important, if you interrupt my thinking, I will also I won’t blame you.”
Li Yong nodded and saluted: "Your Highness King Yong, you have had dinner, do you want to rest? Now that the princess and Liang Di have not arrived in Chang'an, do you need to choose someone new to sleep with?"
Li Xian glanced at Li Yun strangely and said, "Now is the funeral of the emperor's brother. How can I, as the younger brother, enjoy myself at this time? Do you want to trap me in injustice?"
The corners of Li Yun's mouth twitched up slightly, and then he knelt down and said in a panic: "Your Highness, please forgive me, it was my lack of consideration."
Shaking his head, Li Xian said: "Li Yun, since you are now the manager of the palace, you have to adapt to this status. Whatever you do or what ideas you think of, you have to be thoughtful for me. This time, I won't blame you. Go down. Well, remember to send someone to Mei County Station to bring Princess Yong and the others back."
After Li Yun agreed, he left "tremblingly".
Looking at Li Yun's back, Li Xian smiled helplessly.
Micro-expression psychology is still very useful. At least he knew from Li Yun's subtle expression that he was not affiliated with a hostile force.
What he said just now was more like a test. There is a high probability that the person who ordered him to test is a high-ranking person today. After all, not all eunuchs like cats and dogs can be named Li!
The prince's treatment is that he can give orders to his servants to do whatever he wants, such as taking a bath.
As soon as the instructions were given, within less than a moment of burning the incense, the maid informed that it was ready.
In the new wooden barrel, Li Xian washed vigorously for half an hour before it was over.
I couldn't help it, I was still influenced by the movies of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, thinking that here would be a graceful and luxurious world. But the reality is that this place is no different from what the elders described in the 1980s and 1990s.
Whether it was the messengers encountered at the inn, the county magistrate, or the servants of Prince Yong's Mansion, many people had lice the size of rice grains crawling around on their bodies.
This was so disgusting. Li Xian never thought that something he had never seen and only heard from his elders would be so terrifying after actually seeing it.
For the sake of his own life, Li Xian felt that he still needed to be more mysophobic.
Traveling from the 21st century to the 7th century, the discomfort caused by the drastic changes is far more than a memory belonging to Prince Zhang Huai can offset.
After a night of intermittent sleep brought by fur bedding and jade pillows that ordinary people could not afford, Li Xian still forced himself to get up when the sun was just starting to rise.
Li Yun didn't know when she got up, but when Li Xian opened the door, this guy was already waiting in front of the bedroom door.
"Your Highness, the team responsible for meeting the princess and the young prince has been dispatched. I wonder what your plans are today?"
After looking at the sun that had just risen and feeling the temperature, Li Xian rubbed his hands and said, "There must be a martial arts field in the palace. I suddenly want to practice martial arts."
"ah?"
Hearing Li Xian's words, Li Yun seemed to be shocked.
In his impression, although King Yong was free-spirited and eager to learn, he had never been interested in practicing martial arts under the influence of many great scholars. Why did he think of practicing martial arts today?
Ignoring Li Yun's shock, Li Xian said dissatisfiedly: "Ah, what? Just tell me if you can get it."
Li Yun quickly shut up and said, "Yes, it's in the back garden, but it's a bit deserted now. If Your Highness wants to go, it's better to let the servants clean it first."
It’s good to have it.
Li Xian nodded and told Li Yun to send someone to clean it while he washed and ate first.
It is very necessary to practice martial arts. The saying that a scholar meets a soldier is not clear. Under the general environment, scholars are indeed nobler than rough men. However, reading poetry and books cannot give people the ability to defend themselves.
No matter how powerful the guard is, it is not as powerful as itself. When the time comes for "the King of Qin to circle the pillars", in the end, the only one who can save himself is himself.
