The prince traveled to Jinju.

When Wu Zetian learned about this, he was a little stunned, because Li Zhi had not mentioned it to her at all before this. She looked at Li Zhi, who was practicing calligraphy with Li Chen, "Lord, the prince has never left Jingshi alone, is there something wrong with this move?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he told Li Chen to concentrate on practicing calligraphy, and then said to Wu Zetian: "Didn't I think someone lied about the Jinzhou disaster yesterday? When you returned, Yongchang went to me with the prince, and I was wondering what should happen in Jinju, and when the prince found out, he volunteered. ”

Wu Zetian frowned slightly, and said in a somewhat disgusted tone: "Even if the crown prince volunteered, the lord should not let him go to Jinzhou so hastily." ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, and at this time, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Li Chen's unsteady pen, leaned over to hold her hand, and helped copy a word, before he got up and said to Wu Zetian slowly: "This Tang Dynasty's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will be handed over to the prince sooner or later, and now that Jinzhou is affected, let him go to the people to walk around, knowing the suffering of the world, how can it be hasty?" ”

Wu Zetian also analyzed with Li Zhi reasonably: "The prince has always been not strong, this spring when you and I went to the eastern capital of Luoyang, he only had a sickness, and now his health is better, the lord asked him to go to Jinzhou to inspect, even if he is out with a close attendant, it is not better than in the palace, if there are three long and two short, it is a major event that shakes the country." ”

Li Chen, who had been supporting his ears, couldn't help but peek at his parents, what his mother said was indeed the truth, the prince's brother was in poor health, and it was a tiring trip to Jinzhou, and he would get sick if he didn't do it. The mother said that she was sincere, as if she was really worried about the prince's brother's body, but no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

"Back then, when Taizong went to the east and west, pacified the world, and slept in the open air, now the prince is going to Jinzhou, even if the road is far, it is not appropriate to make a noise, but accompanied by the ministers of the imperial court and accompanied by close attendants, it will be fine."

Li Zhi put his hands behind his back and walked to his queen's side, with a leisurely and calm expression. Wu Zetian looked at Li Zhi, looking a little angry and funny.

"But no matter what, the lord should also discuss with the concubine first."

"Could it be that Mei Niang still can't believe Di Renjie recommended by Yan Liben?"

Wu Zetian's bright eyes, which usually look at people without being angry but mighty, looked at Li Zhi at this time, with obvious tenderness, she heard Li Zhi's words, and couldn't help but glance at Li Zhi slightly, "Now Yan Liben's nephew is the prince's family order, if the concubine can't trust Yan Liben, how can she agree with the emperor to put his nephew in the East Palace to take care of the prince?" It's just—"

"Huh?" Li Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand to help Wu Zetian straighten the phoenix hairpin on her bun, so as to wait patiently for her to follow.

Wu Zetian paused, and finally said with a smile: "It's just that the concubine thinks that Yan Liben is the strongest place in terms of this person, or his Danqing, and the Daming Palace that he presided over the design and construction." ”

In other words, although Yan Liben is in a high position, he is really not as good as Jiang Ke, the left minister.

Li Zhi heard this, but he was not annoyed. Yan Liben has been known for Danqing since the time of Taizong, and the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Danqing, are all from Yan Liben. But in the imperial court, it has always been necessary to have both capable ministers who govern the country and scribes. But even if Yan Liben's talent in governing the country is not as good as Danqing's, Li Zhi has no doubt about the fact that he has a good eye for people. What's more, Yan Liben is a veteran of the two dynasties, highly respected, and has always been a person he trusts, so Li Zhi is also happy to adopt Di Renjie recommended by Yan Liben this time.

Of course, adopting is not to do nothing, without saying a word, Di Renjie was promoted to the imperial history, Li Zhi immediately recruited someone to transfer Di Renjie's booklet after Yan Liben left the Taiji Palace, and then summoned Di Renjie.

The election of officials in the Tang Dynasty, since the imperial examination, there are still four levels of judgment in the selection of officials in the Ministry of Officials, so the officials of the Tang Dynasty, even if they are not better than Pan An, at least they have nothing to do with ugliness. And Di Renjie at this time, even though he is close to the age and is not confused, he is still quite personable, Li Zhi saw that he had sword eyebrows and sideburns, his eyes were like torches, and he had a somewhat righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, so he had a good impression and inspected the state affairs, Di Renjie answered fluently, and was able to put forward relevant suggestions for the disadvantages of the times, Li Zhi was very satisfied in his heart.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian said: "I have summoned Di Renjie yesterday, he is upright and good at adapting to changes, such a person is the most suitable to inspect the affected areas, and the prince can also benefit a lot when he goes with him." ”

When Wu Zetian saw Li Zhi say this, he smiled slightly, "Since the lord also thinks that this person is reliable, what is there to worry about the concubine." ”

Seeing this, Li Chen simply put down the pen in his hand, raised his head to look at his parents, Wu Zetian bowed his head, and happened to meet his daughter's big watery eyes, so he pressed down the irritability that swelled up in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you clamoring for your father to accompany you to practice calligraphy, why did you put down the pen?" ”

Li Chen blinked his eyes and said, "Auntie, my hands are tired." ”

Wu Zetian walked over with a smile, held her chubby little hands in his hands and squeezed them gently, and asked as if unintentionally: "Yongchang, when your brother said that he was going to Jinzhou yesterday, did you also clamo to go?" ”

Li Chen tilted his head and nodded heartlessly with a smile, "Hmm! I've always heard people say that our people are smart and kind, and A-Niang used to tell me interesting stories about how you used to walk outside with your grandfather, and my heart was very yearning. When the prince's brother said that he wanted to go to Jinju, I remembered the customs and customs that my mother told me, and I also wanted to go with my brother. As she spoke, the expression on her face became a little depressed, and she glanced at her father very resentfully, and then leaned over to her mother pitifully, as if seeking comfort, and her tone was very aggrieved, "But Aya dislikes me for being too young and won't let me go." ”

Wu Zetian hugged his daughter and looked at Li Zhi with a smile on his face.

The smile on Li Zhi's face was helpless and spoiled, and he said to Li Chen: "Your brother went to Jinzhou to do something. You are still young now, and you have never left your father and mother, if you miss your father and mother outside, and you are clamoring to see us, what will you do with the prince and brother? He's not out to play. ”

Li Chen pouted, snorted softly, and buried his face in his mother's arms.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian felt very complicated in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his hand and pat Li Chen's little head, very helpless, "You little troublemaker." ”

Li Chen, who was buried in his mother's arms, was beating in his heart, for fear that his mother would see something, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his mother's little trickster. Her age is a hard injury, but it is also her age that is ignorant of the world that gives her the best cover. But the convenience of this age will soon disappear, and in another two years, if she still wants to get through the trick like she is now, it will not work.

Li Chen thought, if only he could not grow up.

If you don't grow up, your father won't grow old, and all your siblings don't have to worry about their mother □□ in the future.

Although they were all born in the emperor's family, the emperor's family at this time was very warm and harmonious. Even if the prince's brother can't stand on the same side as his mother, he is also very filial to his mother in private.

On the day that the crown prince Li Hong went to Jinju, the genius Meng Mengliang got up and prepared to leave, and the servant Shi Di Renjie was already waiting outside the palace gate. The prince was dressed in civilian clothes, and walked out of the East Palace with two attendants, and saw Taiping waiting by the palace gate with the sleepy-eyed Li Chen.

Li Hong was stunned.

Taiping stepped forward with a smile, "Brother Prince, Sister and I are here to see you off." ”

Li Chen doesn't know if Sister Taiping is a problem, anyway, as long as the relatives in the family want to leave Chang'an, no matter whether their departure is fanfare or quiet, Sister Taiping always has to see her off without exception, and she has to drag her with her every time she sees her off.

Li Chen himself doesn't like this kind of separating drama, at this time, if it is sentimental and hypocritical, if it is indifferent and ruthless, if Rory tells the other party a lot of words, it is redundant...... Anyway, it doesn't feel right.

Li Hong looked at the two younger sisters, smiled dumbly, he looked at Taiping, and said, "Taiping, Yongchang is still young, and now he is still sleepy." ”

When Li Chen heard the words of the prince's brother who felt sorry for her, she immediately cheered up, and opened a pair of big eyes that were dozing and drowsy, "Hmm, I'm not sleepy." Then after a pause, the little adult generally said to Li Hong: "Brother, my father said that it is a long way to Jinzhou, please pay attention to take care of your body, do everything according to your ability, and listen to the opinions of people around you." ”

Li Hong smiled and bowed his head, "Well, I know, what else does my father have to say?" ”

Li Chen thought about it for a while, and then said, "Don't eat what others give!" ”

Li Hong: "......" He felt in his heart that it was probably his little sister who was carrying private goods, mixing her advice with his father's advice, for fear that he would not listen.

Li Hong looked at Taiping again, "Taiping? ”

Taiping already had the appearance of a little adult at this time, but in front of her brother, her personality was still childish, she said: "Brother saw delicious and fun outside, don't forget to bring a copy back to the palace for us." ”

Li Hong nodded, "Hmm." ”

Taiping told again seriously: "Also, brother should take care." I've heard that the disaster area is no more dangerous than other places, so you have to be well, brother. ”

Li Chen kept nodding his head next to him, "Brother, don't forget, we made an appointment to live together to be a hundred years old when we were in Buxian Garden!" ”

Li Hong's heart softened, his eyebrows were dyed with a heartfelt smile, and he reached out and pinched Li Chen's nose, "It's too greedy to live to be a hundred years old, but Brother promised you that he would definitely return safely." ”
