Chapter 3 Dreaming
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed since I came to this seemingly real Great Yan Dynasty.
Time has also passed from the spring with lush grass and flying birds to the summer with chirping cicadas in the woods.
Li Yuanhui was sitting in his study. At this moment, he only wanted to praise Emperor Xuan of Wei, who was so wise and brave, and had great talent and strategy.
They actually introduced something as practical as tables and chairs, so there was no need to kneel down. At the same time, he also fully accepted his new identity, the fourth son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Longxi, and the fourth son of the Li family.
Good news: not dead, but traveled through time.
The bad news: no script, no cheat codes, no cheats.
But even without a script, he knew that if the world was played according to the way Emperor Tiansheng Murong Ying did, there would be a 10% chance that something would go wrong.
If this is a peaceful and prosperous era, he doesn't even bother to think about it. Haven't you ever been a dandy before? Is there anyone to teach you how to eat, drink and have fun? I have natural talent.
But we don’t know how long this peaceful life can last, so we have to think about where to go.
Considering the current situation of our dynasty, it seems like the end of Sui Dynasty. Well, the end of Sui Dynasty started from the beginning.
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. It took only a dozen years to destroy a unified dynasty. Guangshen is not kidding you.
This is why he is so sure that the world will be in chaos.
More than two months was enough time for him to understand this era.
Although the information in ancient times was very closed, what is Luoyang? The Eastern Capital! Countless material wealth will be gathered through the well-connected waterways and land routes, and there are also a lot of rumors among them.
During this period of time, Li Yuanhui spent his days reading books and cramming classics on history, and going out to inquire about various news on the Internet, hoping to get some useful information from them.
Right now, the Murong family is using the script of the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty, but it is hard to say who is using the script of the Li Tang Dynasty.
We need to be more cautious now, and when the world is in chaos, those who can finally gain power are almost always the powerful people in the local areas. There are too few examples like Zhao Da who can finally get through the center directly, so they cannot be used as a reference.
On the contrary, it is very dangerous to always follow the emperor, and one might face war one day.
Just like during the Jiangdu Rebellion, none of the ministers who followed Guangshen had a good ending.
Some things need to be planned in advance. It is best to persuade my father to be sent out, preferably to Shanxi, which is Bingzhou at this time, and the entire Bingzhou Mu or Taiyuan will stay behind.
Li Yuan, sounds no different from Li Yuan, right?
The big winner at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Li Tang royal family, was also known as the Longxi Li family.
But currently, there is no Duke Tang among the dukes in the court. Instead, the name of his father Li Yuan sounds very appealing.
If my father had taken Li Yuan's script, it would be awesome. I would be able to travel through time and space and make money easily. I could at least become the Prince of Taiping. As the legitimate son, the King of Qin wouldn't dare to think about it. The King of Chu or the King of Jin wouldn't be able to choose anyone. As long as he wasn't the King of Qi, it would be fine!
Nice to think about.
No, the more I think about this, the more I get anxious. I have to be steady before I can do my dream.
Good things shouldn't fall on my head so easily, and it's a bit embarrassing for me to be the fourth child.
We still have to observe carefully. Once the troubled times begin, it will be time to re-define the distinction between rich and poor, noble and humble.
If you do it well, the whole house will be rich, but if you do it badly, it will be a household registration game.
Li Yuanhui was sitting in the study, flipping through a book and dreaming. His eldest brother Li Xiaoyan, who was outside the room, was looking at his fourth brother inside the room with some confusion.
"What has Shilang done these days since he recovered?"
Li Xiaoyan asked a sturdy man beside him.
"In reply to Dalang, Silang has been reading books in the house these days, and occasionally goes out to buy some food in the South Market and the North Market."
This strong man was very strong, about eight feet tall, and was Li Yuanhui's follower and guard. His name was Han Quan. He was good at riding and shooting, and also used spears and lances well.
Li Xiaoyan was somewhat surprised but remained expressionless.
It’s not that he didn’t believe Han Quan’s words, but he was a little confused about his fourth brother’s transformation.
When Li Yuanhui was first injured, Li Xiaoyan was very concerned about him and asked for medical advice and medicine.
When Li Yuanhui's injury was almost healed, as the eldest son in the family, he was busy with housework and also worked in the Ministry of War.
Although he stayed in the court, the army was busy with affairs outside, so it was impossible for him to always take care of his fourth brother, who was originally a bit naughty. He just hoped that he would not go out and cause trouble. Li Silang's character was originally more like burning books and burying scholars.
It would be difficult for him to study hard since he is good at riding, shooting, flying eagles and running dogs.
Could it be that he was injured after falling off a horse and went insane?
Looking at his condition, he seems quite normal, not like any symptoms of insanity, but such a change is not a bad thing.
"Shiro."
Seeing Li Xiaoyan enter the room, Li Yuanhui immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully, "Hello, brother."
Li Xiaoyan was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a handsome face, strong features, and a very neatly groomed beard. He wore a brown round-necked robe and a fu hat, and looked dignified and upright, yet somewhat gentle.
"Sit down and talk."
"only."
The two brothers sat down across the desk, and Li Xiaoyan spoke again:
"Father has a letter from Zhuo County asking about your current situation. Seeing your current condition, Father can rest assured. What book are you reading these days? The Poems of Emperor Xuan? I remember that you and Erlang were interested in the art of war in the past. Why have you changed your personality recently and are interested in poetry?"
"Forehead"
When Li Yuanhui heard this, he didn't know how to respond and was so angry that his teeth were almost broken.
The reason why I am so angry is that this "Collected Works of Emperor Xuan" is a collection of works by Emperor Xuan of Wei, Cao Mao, and the contents include but are not limited to those famous poems from Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Yuan opera.
"The Difficult Road to Shu" was written by Emperor Xuan for his soldiers during the Western Expedition.
"Out of the Frontier" was a gift from Emperor Xuan to Ma Long, a general guarding the frontier.
"The Hard Road" was written by Emperor Xuan when he visited Jiangnan.
Even "If life could only be like the first sight" and "Wei Wu waved his whip, and there were poems left on the east side of Jieshi" were produced.
Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
Didn't you leave any way out for future generations? Did you copy all the good poems?
As for time travel, in countless novels, the protagonists rose to fame by copying poems. You are blocking the way for future generations!
Of course, it may be a bit inaccurate to say that all the good poems were copied. Some of them were not copied, such as Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", Du Fu's "Three Officials and Three Farewells", and Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Moon Night".
But Li Yuanhui had already returned these long poems to his Chinese teacher, so who could remember them? How could they copy them?
The dream of a talented person was shattered
However, Li Xiaoyan did not ask any further questions, nor did he suspect that he was not his fourth brother Li Yuanhui.
After all, whether it is rebirth or time travel, these are undoubtedly very horrifying. Even if you say that it was a collision, it would be easier for people to accept than this statement.
Li Yuanhui's behavior after recovering from his injury was not so bizarre as to make people suspect that he was being controlled by something.
His speech is normal and he eats a little better than before, but how strange is it for a teenager to like reading?
"Don't think too much, just read some poems. I finally have a day off today, so I came to see you. I haven't taken care of you during this period. The Ministry of War is also full of miscellaneous tasks. The grain transportation from Liyang is late again, and the grain transportation numbers from the previous few times don't match. It's also difficult for Aye to do well. Let's not talk about these. The weather has been good recently, and I will take you out hunting next time I have a day off."
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
Li Xiaoyan asked about his diet and health, gave him a few more instructions and then left.
After seeing his eldest brother off, Li Yuanhui's face began to cheer up because there were some things he had overlooked.
Liyang.
The grain delivery was delayed.
The second expedition to Goguryeo.
I am a history enthusiast and am very interested in the history of the late Sui Dynasty. I have also read many novels about the struggle for hegemony at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, many figures in this period of history are also familiar to everyone, such as Zhang Xutuo, Li Mi, Xu Maogong, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, Yu Wenzhi, Dou Jiande, etc.
In this time and space, Li Yuanhui had only heard of one.
This makes us admire the inertia of history.
Even if they are not on the original track, some great people still shine.
The late Shangshu Ling, Tai Shi, Situ, and Duke of Chu of Dayan was posthumously awarded the title of Guanglu Dafu and the posthumous name "Jingwu", Yang Su.
Yang Su's eldest son, Yang Xun, is currently the Minister of Rites and is in charge of grain transportation in Liyang.
The script suddenly became familiar. Second expedition to Goguryeo, Yang rebelled?
It is hard not to wonder, is this Yang Xun also called Yang Xuangan?
If that's the case, Li Yuanhui will have another sweet dream. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, when Li Yuan was in Guangshen for the second time to conquer Goguryeo, he seemed to be in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and grass.
If Murong Ying is the original god of Guangshen, then isn’t Li Yuan the same?
Is history going to be revised again after it has been changed?
Destiny is really in my family? Are you kidding?
