The legend of the tang dynasty, chapter 3 (2)

After the rain stopped, a letter written on jute paper arrived? Fang Bai Juyi's door. The imperial edict is very simple, with only a few words written: "Bai Juyi will be transferred from Jiangzhou Sima [1], relieved of the post of Prince Zuo Zanshan, and set out within one month."

Bai Juyi returned to the inner hall, took off a layer of skin upstairs, looked up and drank a few drinks. After a little hesitation, he poured the rest of the wine on the ground. He smiled and said to himself, "I hope the public will spare no effort!" " "

At this time, Yuncheng was thundering and thundering, and it was stormy. Sok Li Road was in his room first, and Wei was three years older than Li Shidao, with a simple face. Li Shidao usually doesn't come to Wei's room. His youngest son, Li Honggen, is not yet nine years old. Li Shidao likes him, so he often goes to Wei's place. Another gust of wind roared across the courtyard like a wild animal. Li Honggen opened his black eyes and asked, "Dad, why is it so windy today?"

Li Shidao smiled and said, "This is a storm. The Dragon King was afraid that we didn't have enough water, so he specially brought us a lot of water from the East China Sea. But when the Dragon King came out, many shrimps, soldiers and crabs would guide him, with great momentum. Have you ever seen a trip for your father? In front is an armored army of 200 people, next to it is a male general of 40 people, and behind it is a strange knife guard of 150 people. Isn't it equally imposing? "

Li Honggen just listened to the servant talking about the trip in Li Shidao. Thinking about it, he felt that the wind and rain in the sky was also a trip, and suddenly he felt that it was not terrible. He clamored to show him the prestige when he went out after Sok Li Road.

Li Shidao laughed at Li Honggen's tickling, but Wei sewed Li Shidao's close-fitting robe as usual and said, "Lang Jun [5], I'd like to think about it. When Honggen grows up, he should not lead troops or be a big official, just live in peace."

Li Shidao was very unhappy at Wei's language and was about to reprimand him. There was a silvery laugh outside the door. "Saburo, you seldom come to your wife!"

Webster looked up, his face motionless. Li Shidao frowned and said, "Qi Niang, didn't I tell you not to disturb your wife?"

When the curtain was lifted, an enchanting woman in a green silk skirt came in Tingting. A gust of wind blew the rain beads into the room. The woman was wet by the rain, and the silk skirt was soaked in many places and stuck to her snow-white skin, which was very charming.

Li Shidao let Li Honggen into the house to play, looked at Yuan Qiniang and said, "I'm not afraid of your wife's jokes because I wear so little. What's wrong? "

Seven Niang Yuan approached Li Shidao and sat on his lap. Li Shidao was put to shame by him. Looking back at the Wei family, she was indifferent. Yuan Qiniang said angrily, "Saburo, look at the nu house!" Li Shidao looked at her and couldn't help but feel hot. Then he said, "What's the matter?"

Seeing the change of his look, Yuan Qiniang took out a letter sealed with yellow paper from her waist and said, "Today is also strange. It was so stormy that someone kept knocking at the door in the backyard early in the morning, saying that they were looking for the doorman. I opened the door and saw a street boy of 1 1 with this letter in his hand, saying that he must give it to you personally. "

Li Shidao said in surprise, "What about street children?" He said with a serious expression, "that street boy is waiting for you, and we all laugh at him." A Taoist priest wants to see the general. Is this not a joke? Tell the servant to drive him away with that big broom earlier. "

Li Shidao stood up fiercely, and Yuan Qiniang fell to the ground, screaming "Ouch" in pain. Li Shidao didn't care. When he looked at the envelope, the word "nothing" was clearly printed on the seal, and he quickly opened it. Most of the letters were blurred when he saw that the letter paper was wet by the rain. He didn't look carefully, but at last it said, "Come on." Behind it is a scarlet seal with nothing in it. He immediately took the hemp fiber from the guard at the door and walked into the rain without looking back.

Li Shidao was soaked to the skin when he came out of the tunnel. He shook the hemp fiber, and the wind and rain seemed a little smaller, but Cooper at the door was blown off by the dragon wind, and the cracks on the stone tablet deepened.

No sooner had he come out than the little Taoist rushed over. The little Taoist priest has several red marks on his face. He was sad to see them. He took out a large ingot of silver and gave it to the little Taoist, but the little Taoist pushed his hand away and just told him to go to the temple quickly.
