Chapter 286 This Heart Early Decision
The four-foot-high inlaid mica screen has been completely opened, but the screen is not a picture of common peony wealth or beauty in spring, but a very detailed map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Although it is day, there is still a lingering darkness in the deep inner room of Mengtang Dougong, so several other lights were lit next to it to show the territory of Mengtang.
Du Qingtang wore a large-sleeved round-neck black shirt. Shiran stood in front of the picture with his hands behind his back, but did not face the picture, but looked down the hall and said leisurely, "This dream map of the territory of Tang Dynasty, since I first saw it when I was five or six years old, until now, I don't know how many times I have seen it. It's so much that I'm blind. Give me a branch. It can also be completely depicted on the sand! However, I don't want to do this at all."
Dou Furi stood under the hall, with a wide-sleeved shirt and jasper hairpin, and no expression on his crowned cheeks at this moment. After listening to Du Qingtang's words, he seemed to be surprised at all and said indifferently, "Emperor Taizong destroyed the east. Sudden. Jue, harvest the south of the desert, swallow Xue Yantuo, Ding Mo north, set up the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate and Shanyu Duhufu, south and Luofu, north Na Xuanque, west to rest in peace, east of the brother, 15 360 states in the world, Chang'an is in the middle, hanging in the four directions, overlooking the coming of the world, how vast? Now there are back to the north, Tubo in the west, Khitan in the east, and the south, but how can Han's children be willing to do this?
"Do you know where I first saw this picture when I was five or six years old?" Du Qingtang suddenly asked.
Du Furi shook his head this time: "I don't know!"
"It's in your father's room." Du Qingtang said leisurely, "This picture was painted by himself!"
Du Furi frowned: "The adult seems to be one year older than his uncle?"
"Not bad!" Du Qingtang nodded and looked leisurely. "At that time, your father just heard a story about the sandbar from the gentleman hired by your grandfather to enlighten us. He was so excited that he couldn't stop himself, so he went out of the school and quietly went to your grandfather's study to steal a map of territory. He was afraid that your grandfather would find out, so he copied it himself. A picture was hidden in the room, but I didn't want it to come out when I went to his room.
"Your father studied in Guozijian and was friendly with Emperor Xianzong, so I was close to the former emperor. At that time, Emperor Huaizong was in power, addicted to elixir, and favored Fangshi. The political commissar of the court was in the hands of Wang Taiqing, an eunuch. Wang Taiqing was cruel and cunning by nature, and it was common for him to kill the courtiers and wantonly false orders. Originally, the emperor of Emperor Huaizong The emperor wanted to appoint his eldest son King of England as the crown prince. The King of England was more than ten years older than Emperor Xianzong. He was humble, intelligent and virtuous and sergeant. He was the choice of the crown prince that the courtiers had always agreed with. Unexpectedly, Wang Taiqing was afraid of the elder and wisdom of the British king. In the name of Huaizong, he sent a box of meat soup to the King of England. The king of England died violently, but Wang Taiqing said that the British king was violent. Due to his illness, since King Ying, Emperor Huaizong's excellent descendants have not escaped, including the second son of King Ying. A few years later, the King of Guangling also died of a violent illness because he was praised by Emperor Huaizong at the banquet a few days.
Du Qingtang said leisurely, "When only Emperor Xianzong and King Lu were left among the people who could be the crown prince under Emperor Huaizong, Emperor Huaizong was old, and because he took elixir for many years, his pace was empty and weak, the ministers asked him to be crown prince again. At that time, the king of Lu was still young, so Emperor Huaizong set up an old Emperor Xianzong - At that time, Emperor Xianzong was not excellent. His homework was plain since he was a child, and his riding and shooting were not good. Moreover, his biological mother came from a poor family and had already fallen out of favor and died of anger. Even so, Emperor Xianzong was still cautious in his words and deeds in the East Palace. He had to swallow his tea and diet for a long time before he dared to enter.
Du Furi listened calmly.
But after listening to Du Qingtang's words, he continued to talk about Du Danpin: "At that time, the most prestigious young man in Chang'an was your father and Li Erlang of the Li family in Zhao County! At that time, people joked that there was Li Du in Kaiyuan, and now there is also Li Du. Is it about the revival of the prosperous era? Later, Emperor Xianzong succeeded to the throne. Although he could not return to glory as when the founding of the country, the previous dynasty was at least a rejuvenating dynasty, which was also a saying.
"Your father and Li Gui entered the Guozi prison at about the same time. At that time, the prince was also young and often came to the Guozi prison to play with young students." Du Qingtang said lightly, but Du Furi understood that although Emperor Xianzong was young at that time, he grew up in the palace, and he didn't know how many of his brothers and nephews died at the hands of Wang Taiqing. Even Emperor Xianzong himself was like walking on thin ice. How could he play specially when he went to the Imperial College? Most of the reason is that Wang Taiqing, the ministers of the previous dynasty, looked too closely, so Emperor Xianzong turned to start from the Imperial Family. After all, those who can enter the Imperial Family are not only good at reading books, but also most of them are also after famous families. They also have a thousand opportunities with the previous dynasty. What's more, they seem to be old and can also use play as a cover, which is not easy to cause the king. Too clear doubts.
Sure enough, Du Qingtang added: "Emperor Xianzong is happy with Juju, and your father is also good at this, but Li Gui has never participated because he has been weak since he was a child. Therefore, in Li Du at that time, Li Gui was not close to Emperor Xianzong. Your father went in and out with the previous emperor, and he was very close."
"Because of this, your father was able to enter the Hongwen Museum and read the Kunyu pictures collected in the palace. After returning home, he drew it with his memory for more than three months."
The Hongwen Museum belongs to the lower province and has more than 200,000 volumes of classic books. It is the richest place of books in this dynasty and is also the reading office of the East Palace. The so-called "the relatives above the imperial family, the imperial empress dowager and the queen's great achievements, the prime minister and the scattered officials are meritorious officials, and the real feudal person. The Beijing official duties are from the son of Huangmen Shilang in the third grade. Du Furi's grandfather was unlucky, so Du Danpin and Du Qingtang were both studying in the national prison at first. It was not until Du Danpin became familiar with Emperor Xianzong, who was the prince at that time, that Emperor Xianzong came forward and asked Emperor Huaizong to bring the Du brothers to Hongwen Hall for admission.
Du Furi had heard of this, but he didn't know what Du Danji would draw with his memory after returning from the Kun Yutu he saw in the Hongwen Museum. He couldn't help looking at the Kuntu on the screen again. It was plain silk and snow-white. On it, Mengtang and surrounding countries were exposed in different colors. Among them, Mengtang was yellow, and Huihui was blue. Tubo belongs to red, Khitan belongs to black, and Nanzhao belongs to white, which is in five colors.
Du Danpin moved Chang'an with his talent when he was a teenager. Although Du Furi had never seen his father, he also heard that he was talented. Among them, he was good at calligraphy, Danqing, six arts, and good at the piano. He has been familiar with it since he was a child. Even so, Du Danpin has also painted for three months. It can be seen that the fineness of this picture, and it is no wonder that there is only Hongwen Museum. Only in it can there be collections.
"When your father was as old as you, once Emperor Xianzong quietly came to the Du family as a guest and smuggled his servants to talk with him, your father drank a few more cups. On a whim, he took this silk picture to Emperor Xianzong and told him that his greatest wish in his life was to be able to see the crown of all countries and worship Hanyuan again. ." Du Qingtang took a few steps in front of the silk map and said slowly, "At that time, Hanyuan Hall had not been opened for a long time."
After saying that, he lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. The candlelight swayed, but Du Qingtang's face was hidden in the shadow.
Du Furi looked at the silk picture and said slowly, "This is also my idea."
"At that time, Emperor Xianzong had not yet ascended the throne." As if he didn't hear this at all, Du Qingtang said indifferently, "Later, Emperor Huaizong died, and Emperor Xianzong naturally succeeded to the throne, but the power of listening to politics and the forbidden army were still in Wang Taiqing's hands. Later and until now, the world said that it was because of my advice that made Emperor Xianzong unite with Qu Pingzhi to kill Wang Taiqing, and Qiu Fengxiang, in addition to Qu Pingzhi, opened the situation of Zhongxing in the previous dynasty--
"But I don't know that if this is the case, the one who died after eating bread in the palace was not my brother or your biological father, but me." Du Qingtang said word by word, his eyes like electricity, and staring at Du Furi, who suddenly changed his body under the hall. "If you are not careful for the temple, you will die and harm your family, and if you plan for the world, you will be undefeated! As for what my brother and I chose to seek for Li Min... I think that when your grandfather was still alive, Du's fifth room was also prosperous. At that time, in addition to me and my brother, who were the second son of your grandmother, there were still four concubine brothers and three sisters. Now there are only you and me left in the fifth room, that is your two cousins, and I dare not They married in Chang'an and took advantage of Sanlang as officials outside. They would rather marry at a low price than keep them away from here! Now that I'm old, you are the only one left in Du's five rooms. Have you thought about it?
Du Furi Fuxiu turned around and walked out of the hall, with dark cyan wide sleeves, but his tone was light: "This heart - early decision!"
