Chapter 81: Speculation

The recipe made with rice balls and Lantern Festival wanted to blackmail Wei Chigong, and Li Chengqian had no choice but to do it.

He is not familiar with Yu Chigong, even if he is the crown prince, Yu Chigong has many reasons to reject him.

Originally, he sent rice balls on the Yuan Festival, just holding on to a little hope, but Mrs. Wei Chi's love for rice balls gave him a good opportunity.

Humming a small song, he walked along the passage between the imperial cities of Miyagi and walked towards the East Palace, completely ignoring the eyes of the two guards behind him.

There is no doubt that it will not be long before what he has done at the gate of Chengtianmen will be made into a report and sent to the emperor.

However, the transfer of the prince's pro-rate rate was originally the prince's private matter. Since the Emperor made it clear that this army was not under the control of the Ministry of War, there was nothing wrong with him doing so.

The New Year has passed, but the entrance of the East Palace is much better than usual.

In the past, as soon as you entered the door, you could see the old eunuchs shuttling back and forth, but now you can finally see the palace maids who are curling around.

Although the palace maids' costumes are not as cool as in the TV series, and even half of the steamed buns are exposed, the palace maids with soft bodies and fine work are better looking than a single group of eunuchs.

Returning to the study non-stop, taking leave for study time is also a last resort.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was back, Li Gang didn't ask him why he went: "Are you back?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, took off his robe, changed into coarse cloth clothes, and sat down at the desk.

Originally, even if he wore a robe, it was nothing, but since Li Tai and Li Ke came over, as long as he was in the study, he had to change into this coarse cloth clothes. When he practiced calligraphy, his pen and ink were always neat and tidy, and he never dropped a little, but Li Tai, the two bastards, could spill ink all over the desk.

When he returned after the year, the old gentleman did not explain the ancient books, but let the three of them practice calligraphy freely.

The old gentleman has never finished reading the books he extorted from Gao Shilian, and even if he forgets to sleep and eat, he can't sweep them once in a day or two.

Just practicing calligraphy, with the experience of later generations, Li Chengqian simply asked the old gentleman to write a calligraphy, and then copied it.

The three apprentices practiced calligraphy quietly, and the master held the book to read, although there was no sound, but this scene was seen and could not bear to be disturbed.

With the prestige of the old gentleman and Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Ke did not dare to make small moves, but concentrated on practicing calligraphy.

Looking at Li Tai's words, which were not much better than a dog's crawl, Li Chengqian and Li Ke let out a sneer together.

The practice lasted until noon, until the palace maid came in with food, and the three of them stopped and ate with clean hands.

Since the emperor made the decision not to interfere in the finances of the East Palace, Li Chengqian's life has been much better, and he will not have a feast on the mountains and seas, but it is still no problem to decide what to eat by himself.

Today's lunch is white rice, although the rice of the Tang Dynasty is small and not as good as that of later generations, but the taste is much stronger than that of later generations. Pure natural rice, or new rice, in Datang I am afraid that only a few people can afford to eat.

After serving three bowls of white rice in a row, and killing half a plate of cucumbers, Li Tai burped with satisfaction and said, "Brother Huang, it's a pleasure to eat here at your place." I wondered, obviously Wen Tang Jian had an output, but the imperial dining room still kept using dried vegetables, which made my burps smell of dried vegetables at the beginning. asked the queen mother, and the queen mother said that the output of Wen Tang Jian was limited, and the supply of Taiji Hall was already the limit. Where did you get your cucumbers? Did you ask the imperial grandfather for it? ”

Li Chengqian's meal was small, and he had already finished eating, and when he saw Li Tai asking, he said, "Of course not, do you think I will go to the emperor's grandfather to ask for something?" The cucumber was grown by a vegetable merchant outside the palace. Growing vegetables in winter is like growing flowers indoors in winter, and it is not impossible to find it. As long as you find the right way, who will stipulate that you can't eat vegetables in winter? ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Tai fell into deep thought.

Growing vegetables in winter is the same as growing flowers indoors in winter? Hiss....

He seemed to have figured out something, but he was still a little confused.

Looking at the thoughtful Li Tai, Li Chengqian smiled. Don't look at this humble guy, you can still eat and sleep, but your brain is not ordinarily easy to use. When it comes to learning, although there are bits and pieces, when it comes to learning, it is very serious.

is a good seedling to be a prince!

Just when Li Chengqian was yy, the door of the study was quickly pushed open and quickly closed.

The four masters and apprentices looked intently, and saw Li Jing, who was dressed in court clothes, rubbing his hands and walking in.

Seeing that the four masters and apprentices were eating, Li Jing confessed, walked to the side and sat down on the idle stool.

"The pharmacist hasn't eaten yet, the chefs in the East Palace are still passable, you came here to eat."

After speaking, Li Gang instructed Fang Sheng to go to the kitchen to get another meal.

Li Gang spoke, Li Jing dared not comply, so he could only sit at the table after cleaning his hands.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had finished eating, Li Jing frowned and explained his intention: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you just asked me about the regulations for the prince to personally lead the troops before the Yuan Festival, and on the seventeenth day of the first month, Luo Yi rebelled. Coupled with the gifts from the East Palace, in addition to the Imperial Palace Li Mansion Gao Mansion and the Changsun family, only Wei Chi's family is the only one. If you were to say it was a coincidence, I wouldn't believe it anyway. Do you have the ability to do calculations or predictions? ”

Seeing Li Jing's serious appearance, Li Chengqian secretly smiled bitterly.

Whether it was asking him about the regulations for sending troops, or giving gifts on the Yuan Festival, he did it too hastily.

Just like plagiarizing Liang Qichao's article, if he had done the foreshadowing in advance, things would have been different.

It's just that all the palace maids in the East Palace, plus most of the eunuchs, the speed of production is still limited, and the rice balls are okay, but the Lantern Festival will take time. In the safest case, he should send a few more.

can only say, worthy of Li Jing? I noticed it so keenly.

The old gentleman who was dining glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise, but didn't say a word.

Li Tai showed a look of adoration, and Li Ke also stopped his chopsticks.

Seeing the inquiring looks of these people, Li Chengqian smiled slightly: "Wei Gong is a master of the art of war, how can he believe in such an ethereal thing as hexagrams?" Luo Yi rebelled and fought with the Duke of Eguo, all of which I guessed. ”

"Guess?"

Li Jing's brows furrowed even tighter, and a simple word "guess" was not enough to convince him.

patted Li Tai with his left hand and Li Ke with his right hand, Li Chengqian said: "You go out first, I have some words that are inconvenient for you to hear." ”

The brothers didn't ask why, and left with curiosity.

It wasn't until there were three people left in the study that Li Chengqian said: "It's just a guess, there are actually many things in this world that can be followed." As long as you know the known conditions, it is not surprising to speculate on the results. Wei Gong, when you lead your troops to fight and deal with the enemy, you don't always rely on intelligence to grasp the enemy's movements! ”
