    China is an ancient civilization and a land of etiquette. It is tolerant and tolerant. Even if it treats a heinous criminal, it will show the tender side of human nature to him before he dies, and will show him the tender side of humanity before he "goes on the road".  Serving a sumptuous dinner is also called a decapitation meal, because the Chinese believe that it would be a very tragic thing to starve to death.  People regard food as their first priority, and the word "food" is the best portrayal of it.  Li Erkong was so generous, which was unexpected. When Liu Yuan thought of this reason, his face suddenly turned pale.  "Uncle Pei, is this true?" Liu Yuan suddenly took Pei Jin's hand and said fearfully.  The most painful thing in life is not not having money to spend, but having money but missing people. This was exactly the situation Liu Yuan was in, and he was shocked when he heard this.  Pei Jing shook his head and said: "This is just your guess. Pei didn't say anything. However, Pei feels that although this is unlikely, it cannot rule out the possibility. My dear nephew, that's it for now. Just take care of yourself.  ." Liu Yuan was dumbfounded.  In fact, Liu Yuan could understand Pei Jin's explanation, but he was also uncertain and could not guess clearly. Although he felt that Li Er was unlikely to kill him, the old saying goes that killing and surrender is ominous. Killing and surrendering is ominous, let alone killing.  When you are on your own, when your pursuit of life reaches a certain level, you will start to cherish feathers, just like in the cities of Tubo, famous generals such as Hou Junji and Old Demon King Cheng are not murderous and cruel people.  , One general succeeds and thousands of bones wither, and the road leading to the famous general is covered with thick bones, which would have been the past.  They ordered the attack without blinking an eye, but today was different from the past, and in the end they could only choose to retreat temporarily.  Fame.  It is the motivation for many people to move forward, but at some point, it becomes a burden for them.  "However, Liu Yuan didn't dare to bet on Li Er. This guy was desperate and even raised his butcher's knife against his brother.  What about outsiders?  Putting your life on the line, not to mention a narrow escape, even a narrow escape is unsettling.  It is precisely because of the Xuanwumen's mistakes.  Pei Jin didn't dare to give up, and Liu Yuan didn't dare to gamble.  For a time, the table full of delicious food became bland and tasteless.  It's the palace's aged wine in a pot.  It suddenly became bitter. Under the influence of this negative news, I lost all my appetite.  "Uncle Pei, what did the emperor say? Didn't you receive any clues?" Liu Yuan said with some surprise.  "No." Pei Jin shook his head and said, "My nephew is not an outsider. There is no need to hide it. This is an order sent by the emperor. Pei did not witness it with his own eyes or listen with his own ears, nor did he receive any information beforehand. You also know  What is the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple? Normally, all the officials keep a respectful distance, but I heard something about it. "Liu Yuan immediately asked, "What did you hear about it?" "The emperor held a banquet in the palace to invite all the officials to show off his power.  You are a meritorious soldier in the army. Mrs. Pei has to be on duty and did not go. I heard that hundreds of officials said good things to you several times during the banquet. All the officers and soldiers showed off their power and also begged the emperor for mercy. However, the emperor kept insisting on his words and refused to let go.  , so" Liu Yuan sat helplessly on the ground. In fact, after a few days of observation, in addition to the people from Dali Temple, there are also a few people who are obviously forbidden soldiers. Needless to say,  It must have been sent by Li Er to prevent someone from infiltrating. With the ability of Cui of Qinghe, it has not been achieved even after meeting him. From this, we can see Li Er's determination.  If foreign aid is not enough, we can only help ourselves.  "Uncle Pei, outsiders are not allowed to visit or send information to each other. If my nephew has some suggestions, can you send the memorial to the emperor on my behalf?" It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Liu Yuan decided to launch a self-rescue operation and let Li  2. See your own role and abilities.  Pei Jin hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly and said: "The emperor didn't say that he couldn't submit the memorial. Just write it and risk it. Pei will definitely hand it over to the emperor. You can't call me uncle in vain."  "Thank you, Uncle Pei." Liu Yuan was overjoyed and thanked him immediately.  Soon, Liu Yuan wrote a memorial to Li Er, saying that he suddenly had inspiration and a breakthrough idea in making glass. In addition, the fire blunderbuss also revealed a lot on the Tubo battlefield.  There were many problems that needed improvement. Liu Yuan requested to go to the Ministry of Industry to participate in improvement actions.  After writing the memorial, Liu Yuan was in a good mood. He felt that Li Er would definitely let him out, improve his craftsmanship, and maybe even come to pick him up personally. Li Er was born in the army and understood the importance of weapons to the army. Looking at the Tang Dynasty,  For the sake of the empire, he would definitely show mercy and spare himself.  In fact, Li Er's response was also very fast. That night, Liu Yuan received Li Er's personal reply. When Liu Yuan opened it with joy, he felt like a plate of cold water. Li Er said in the letter that the glass  CraftsmanshipA breakthrough has been made recently. Samples have been produced and are now being produced on a large scale. As for the firecrackers, skilled craftsmen in the army also went out with the army and collected a lot of valuable opinions and information. The firecrackers have been being transformed, so Liu Yuan does not need to worry about it.  , and then asked Liu Yuan to have a good rest and eat and drink whatever he wanted in the letter, even if he ordered his servants to do so.  Damn it, Liu Yuan's face turned green on the spot. He finally understood the allusion of teaching apprentices to starve to death. He was great, but there were many skilled craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. When it came to practical skills, they were a few blocks ahead of him.  Liu Yuan was so angry that he punched the table on the spot.  This is the prelude to the death of the flying birds, the hiding of the good bows, the death of the cunning rabbits, and the cooking of the lackeys.  The meal that day was even richer, but Liu Yuan couldn't eat even half of it.  The next day, which was the fifth day of Liu Yuan's imprisonment, Liu Yuan, who had not slept all night and had red eyes, once again handed the written letter to the jailer Xiao Fang and asked him to give it to Pei Jin to represent him.  Pass it to Li Er.  As soon as he handed over the letter, Liu Yuan's face grew pale, because in the letter, Liu Yuan confessed that he had donated all his property, fields, residences, shops, including members of the Changluo Expressway to the national treasury, saying that it would benefit the national treasury.  , to do their best as ministers, to give up titles, etc., is actually to protect themselves wisely. In ancient times, when ministers retired from old age and returned to their fields, they were called beggars. Liu Yuan was really prepared to exchange his family wealth for a life this time.  No matter how much money you have, it¡¯s useless.  It only takes a life flower, but Liu Yuan is not afraid, as long as he has hands and feet.  With your own efforts, everything can come back.  When Li Er received this memorial at the Lizheng Hall, before he had time to open it, Cui Jing came to ask for an audience. Li Er decided to entertain this important minister first.  "I see you, Your Majesty." Li Er said with a smile: "Cui Aiqing is alive." "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Cui Aiqing is so anxious to see me, I don't know why?" Li Er said lightly: "If it's because of your high-mindedness,  If my son-in-law pleads for mercy, I think it¡¯s better for you not to say anything.¡± He refused even before he spoke.  Cui Jing was a little depressed.  To be honest, he really came here because of Liu Yuan's affairs. His daughter and grandson were arguing in front of him every day, and Liu Yuan was sleeping on a big bed in Dali Temple.  But Cui Jing couldn't sleep well.  The food is not good, and there is really nothing I can do about my daughter who has been doted on since she was a child. She knows that she is asking for trouble, but she still bites the bullet.  With a long sigh, Cui Jing said helplessly: "To be honest with the emperor, I am doing this for the sake of my bad son-in-law, not for his." "Oh. What's the explanation for this?" "As a parent.  , It¡¯s all for the sake of your children. I am no exception. This trip is to ask the emperor for the sake of my poor daughter.¡± There was an imperceptible glint in Li Er¡¯s eyes, and there was a hint of victory in his mouth.  Smiling, this moment was finally what he had waited for.  "Oh, Cui Aiqing, please speak frankly." Cui Jing looked around, looking a little hesitant. Li Er immediately understood what he meant and waved with his hand. Soon, the guards and maids withdrew, and Empress Changsun was not here either.  , there were only two monarchs and ministers in the huge Li Zheng Hall.  Seeing that there was no one else around, Cui Jing said: "Your Majesty, I have a request that is unworthy of me." When he finally arrived, Li Er raised his eyebrows, but still pretended to be curious and said: "Cui Aiqing, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." "  Please ask the emperor to betroth Princess Changle to Liu Yuan." Cui Jing hesitated and finally said it.  This is for the sake of his daughter and grandson. In addition, Liu Yuan said that building a highway from Luozhou to Qinghe is also very attractive. Besides, Liu Yuan had to save him. After getting Liu Yuan's guarantee and concession,  After careful consideration, Cui Jing bit the bullet and walked into the palace.  On the surface, he is respectful, but on the inside he is indignant: He is a lustful person, but now he is paving the way for others. If he wants to marry the most beautiful and elegant princess in the Tang Dynasty for himself, he will be shamelessly laughed at.  I just accepted it, the problem is that I am Liu Yuan's father-in-law, and now I am begging for a beautiful woman for him, it feels like pimping, not to mention holding my breath, he is romantic and happy, I have to clean up his mess, Cui Xiaoshangshu  I felt severely unbalanced for a moment.  I originally wanted to leave this matter to my eldest brother Cui Shang, but I didn't expect Cui Shang to flatly refuse. In his words, he is the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe and represents the face of the Qinghe clan. He will never cause criticism for such nonsense.  I want to send someone else here, but firstly, they don¡¯t have the weight, and secondly, I can¡¯t show my sincerity. Most importantly, the fewer people know about this, the better. The woman is urging me, so I have no choice but to go into battle in person.  .  Cui Jing secretly felt cruel in his heart: After fishing Liu Yuan out, he must give him a good lesson to relieve his anger today.  Li Er said with a "surprised" look on his face: "Cui Aiqing, why did you say this?"?  Then Liu Yuan is still your son-in-law. One is a married man and the other is a princess who has not left the court. How can they be suitable for each other?  This is not possible, not possible, Cui Aiqing, if you said these words to me, if someone else said it, I would have to punish him, please stop saying these joking words.  " Pretend, keep pretending, Cui Jing felt angry. This Li Er had hinted very clearly. He forced himself to give in. He gritted his teeth and gave in. Now he pretends to be like a saint. It's really hard to see.  Cui Jing was angry in his heart, but he still wanted to cater to him. Cui Jing was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He was scolded by Li Er and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I am sincere.  " "No, this is too ridiculous." Li Er shook his head and said, "Liu Yuan not only has a wife and concubines, but his wife is also Cui Aiqing's beloved daughter. If the magpie's nest is taken over, Changle will end up with another notorious and dignified princess, who is still the queen's wife.  If the eldest princess is married to someone else as a concubine, wouldn't it be a loss of royal dignity?  No, no.  "Well, we finally got to the point. Cui Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, General Changsun sacrificed his life to serve the country that day and wrote his last words before he died.  No longer binding the loved one with a marriage contract, please ask the emperor to let Princess Changle pursue her happiness. This matter became a good talk in the Tang Dynasty.  That unwavering love is the best talking point. General Changsun¡¯s lofty patriotism, unwavering love and the emperor¡¯s tolerance have long been talked about by the people of the Tang Dynasty. Liu Yuan and General Changsun are the best on the battlefield.  In the life and death situation, it is also reasonable to take care of the surviving comrades.  As for the two people getting along with each other for a long time and falling in love, it can be said that it is destined by fate, although there is something wrong with it.  But there is nothing blameworthy. A gentleman promises a thousand pieces of gold, and the emperor makes a golden promise, and there will be no change.  How can you promise it in front of others?  Breaking one's trust?  Besides, God has the beauty of adults. Even Cui was moved by their true love and broke the rules to bring this man and woman together.  " After saying a lot of things that were against his will, Cui Jing felt that he was about to vomit. "But" Li Er seemed to be touched, but he was still hesitating. "Your Majesty," Cui Jing immediately said the prepared words  Speak out: "It is not a good reputation to occupy a magpie's nest or to abandon one's wife and children.  In order to save the face of several parties, especially the royal family.  I have a fairly suitable way, that is, to imitate the Moth Queen and her maidens, no matter how big or small. However, the princess is a noble woman with a noble status, so she should be on the left, and the little girl should be on the right. If this matter spreads, it will definitely become a good story.  " In ancient times, the left was respected, followed by the right. Cui Mengyao was asked to be a concubine, and Cui Jing refused to do so. However, he was quick-witted and quickly figured out the story of Nv Ying of Emperor E, and took the initiative to make "Left" Li Lizhi,  It can be said that he has made a huge concession. If it succeeds, he will not care. Li Er looked at Cui Jing, as if heaven and man were at war, thought for a moment, and nodded quickly: "Since Cui Aiqing said so.  , if so, I have nothing to say, but Cui Aiqing also said that I promised not to interfere with Changle's marriage and let her pursue her own happiness. I have to ask her personal opinion on this matter. If she agrees, then  Let's do this as Aiqing said.  " They are all smart people. They have to work hard on the surface, and the bottom line in everyone's heart must not be lost. Li Er can see that this is the biggest concession Cui Jing can make. If he still doesn't agree, then he will do it in one fell swoop.  Then the imperial family entered a new round of cold war. If Yan was too stubborn, he might end up with a reputation for breaking promises, and a reputation for not being able to tolerate heroes and cooking dogs with hidden bows. This was not what Li Er could do.  Accept it. Cui Jing finally followed his own script, and Li Er didn¡¯t want to really break his face, so he just gave up. ¡°The emperor has a broad mind and can accommodate all rivers, and Cui Jing admires it.  "Cui Jing lost no time in sending a flattery. Li Er gave a haha, the monarch and his ministers helped each other, and then Cui Jing resigned. After Cui Jing left, Li Er opened the memorial handed over by Liu Yuanxin,  After glancing at it, he suddenly felt happy. He held the memorial in one hand and patted the case with the other. He laughed and said: "Haha, I didn't expect that your kid is also scared sometimes. Not bad." Seeing that Liu Yuan was willing to donate all his wealth to  Li Er's eyes lit up at the treasury, and he couldn't help but take pictures of Liu Yuan, who usually took advantage of him. For Liu Yuan's behavior of only making money and often putting aside business matters, Li Er couldn't help but take action.  I was not used to it early in the morning, but now I see Liu Yuan willingly giving away so much of his property. I wonder how sad it is for Liu Yuan, who loves money as much as his life. "Your Majesty, why are you so cheerful? Can you please me too?"  one time?  "Empress Changsun came in just now. She didn't expect to hear Li Er snapping at the table and talking to himself, so she couldn't help but ask with a smile. "Li Er said with a smile: "Guanyin maid, you came just in time, I was just looking for you."  Well, the Changle matter has been resolved.  "    "So fast?  Empress Changsun's face lit up with joy and she quickly asked: "What about Cui?"A person like this is willing to bow his head so quickly?  "Well, just now Cui Jing entered the palace, just to talk about this matter, Zhi'er is also the main wife, living on the left, so it doesn't disgrace my royal family." Li Er shook his head and said: "If Liu Cui hadn't given birth to a son, then  You can push her down, it's really evil, several girls are either not pregnant or giving birth to daughters, but she is the only one who gave birth to a son.  " Empress Changsun didn't mind, and said calmly: "This is already the best result. Can it really make him divorce his wife?  Qinghe Cui's energy is very great, so the emperor should not touch it for the time being.  " The last time the gentry collectively exerted their strength, no one in the court was available, and the Tang Dynasty was in a semi-paralyzed state. Queen Changsun was a little scared when she thought about it. At that time, her husband and her brother were so busy that they could not stop every day. Whenever needed, they would  Appearing somewhere, they almost collapsed from exhaustion. "Guanyin Maid, look, what is this?"  "Li Er happily handed the memorial to Queen Changsun. After reading it, Queen Changsun hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to confiscate all Liu Yuan's property?  This way.  Isn¡¯t our daughter going to suffer?  Besides, after doing something like this, I'm afraid Chang Le won't be welcomed when he arrives at the Liu Mansion.  "Liu Yuan's list is very long. Even without statistics, it is known that it is a huge fortune. Empress Changsun is worried that Liu Yuan will hand over all the family property. The daughter is in the Liu family. She will definitely be hated by the enemy, and Liu Yuan will be hated by the enemy.  How can we live like that?" Li Er shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If I accept his family wealth, let him go, and betroth Changle to him, then I will be suspected of blackmail.  Isn't that right? I won't take his property." "What should I do? Return it to him?" "That won't work. This kid deserves a beating.  He needs to be taught a lesson." Empress Changsun said worriedly: "Your Majesty, he is now a hero, and he will soon be a prince-in-law, so don't invite criticism." "Guanyin, please don't worry.  "  Not long after, Liu Yuan was in Dali Temple.  I received a reply from Li Er that the money was Liu Yuan's legal business income. Although he was very generous, the court could not accept this money, especially at this special moment.  It was refreshing to deal with smart people. Not long after, Li Er received a special memorial from Liu Yuan. He first talked about the importance of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty, and then pointed out that the road from Chang'an to Tubo was long, rugged and difficult to transport.  Inconvenient, it is necessary to build a good reason and strengthen control over Tubo. After the memorial, Liu Yuan expressed his willingness to prepare a highway from Chang'an to Songzhou, which will not only strengthen economic and trade exchanges in the west, but also meet strategic requirements.  .  The most important point is that Liu Yuan proposed that this expressway is free and no tolls will be charged to the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty.  Li Er was extremely satisfied. With a stroke of his pen, he not only found an excuse to let Liu Yuan go, but also agreed to the marriage between Liu Yuan and Li Lizhi. Of course, Liu Yuan came forward to prepare for the free expressway from Chang'an to Songzhou, and also used the imperial list to  The method is made public to the world.  Absolutely, it means that Liu Yuan's retreat is cut off. He won't be able to regret it at that time. As soon as the imperial list came out, many people were in an uproar. Some people clapped their hands and applauded because this road was convenient for them. Others sighed with regret, why not Wanxi?  Some people were surprised that Liu Yuan built a toll-free expressway to facilitate himself. Some people were disdainful and thought it was Liu Yuan's deliberate grandstanding and limelight. Some people were very angry.  Cui Jing is one of them.  When Liu Yuan returned from Dali Temple, Cui Jing and Cui Shang hurriedly came to Liu's house before he could even sit down. Cui Jing and Cui Shang hurriedly came to the door and screened the servants and other people away. Cui Jing immediately said angrily: "Liu Yuan, you  "Tell me, did you do the road construction voluntarily, or did Li force you to do it?" When Cui Jing saw the imperial list, especially the free highway construction, he shouted in his heart that something was wrong. Datang's finances were stretched, and the treasury must be so.  Since Liu Yuan is doing this without allocating money, doesn't he have to pay for it out of his own pocket?  Cui Jing, who was protecting the calf, immediately felt that Liu Yuan was forced to do so. Without saying anything, he came up to ask what happened.  The son-in-law is also half a son.  "Yes, Xiaoyuan, if you are wronged, Cui family of Qinghe will support you." Cui Shang also said at the side.  Liu Yuan smiled indifferently and said casually: "No, this is voluntary." "Voluntary?" Cui Jing screamed loudly: "From Chang'an to Songzhou, the mountains are high and the road is long. Do you know how much it costs?  Yin, how much work needs to be done, even with your meager income, you can't complete it even if you put in all the trouble, and you will lose all your money to build the road. By then, will your whole family be able to do it? " "Yes." Cui Shang also persuaded from the side: "This  Is this impulsive? Or is this a drunken remark?" Liu Yuan shook his head and said wisely: "Actually, your MajestyI did put in a lot of effort, but when I made this decision, my son-in-law was very clear-headed and it took a lot of consideration.  "Li Er's trick really scared Liu Yuan at first, but later he figured it out and felt relieved, and then he acted in a play with him. "What do you mean by this?  " Cui Shang stared at Liu Yuan and said. "Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies. Sometimes there is only one step between blessing and misfortune. If a tree is as beautiful as a forest, the wind will destroy it. My son-in-law has been having a smooth sailing recently.  , Jinyu Family, now has more than 300 branches, Changluo Expressway, Chang'an Daily, and Mo Yun Study, all of them are cornucopias, making money every day, it's nothing now, but in fact, I don't know how many people have been targeted, so  More wealth brings not blessings, but disasters. Everyone is staring at them like wolves, making them restless. Besides, there is so much money that we can¡¯t spend all, so we might as well make plans as soon as possible.  Liu Yuan said with a serious face: "Now the struggle between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei is becoming increasingly fierce to continue the unification. Liu has also become the object they want to compete for most. It is obvious that my ability, connections and financial resources are not important to me."  This is very important to them. When I was in Tubo, I knew that there were some suspicious people outside my house. I didn¡¯t want to get involved in their struggles, but I couldn¡¯t avoid them. I might as well find something to do that would benefit the country and the people.  Elders, please understand clearly that my son-in-law is just making preparations and not paying it all out of his own pocket. Of course, a considerable amount of money must be donated here. In addition, there is no set deadline for this project.  " "In this way, not only can one's reputation be consolidated, but a large amount of property will not be feared by others. The most important thing is that one can avoid fighting for heirs and stay out of the matter. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.  " As soon as the words fell, Cui Shang and Cui Jing looked at each other and said nothing for a long time. After a while, Cui Shang said with some emotion: "I didn't expect you to think so far. Yes, yes, your father-in-law and I,  I also want to tell you not to be too showy lately. After all, you are a newbie and your foundation is too shallow.  Cui Jing nodded and said, "I have long felt that your wealth is too conspicuous. It is not bad for you to do this. My father-in-law supports you."  "Liu Yuan chuckled and said with some self-deprecation: "It's a blessing at a loss.  "(To be continued) ps: The big chapter is ordered
