Noticing the prince's gaze, Feng Zhidai tidied up his clothes before he walked over.

Bending down to salute, Feng Zhidai's voice with a little local accent sounded: "Feng Zhidai, a person from the mountains and wilderness, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian scratched his head helplessly: "Feng Zhidai, a person from the mountains and wilderness, what kind of title is this?" Lone knows you, Mrs. Xian's great-grandson. Just by virtue of this identity, your self-proclaimed identity is very wrong. Know that you are taking the initiative to lower your identity, so as not to be attacked in Chang'an. However, you don't have to be like this, the misunderstanding between the dynasty and Lingnan is a joke. When the joke is over, you'll be able to go back to Lingnan. ”

Feng Zhidai didn't expect the prince's first sentence to be so profound. Moreover, he also showed enough respect for his great-grandmother.

You must know that since he arrived in Chang'an, he has not been looked down upon. The people of the Central Plains all think that the Lingnan people are a wasteland on earth, and the people who live there must also be savages in the mountains. Intentionally or unintentionally, he could always hear some low-level officials talking about him.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, he had been guarded in a mansion in Taiping Fang. Although there is no harsh treatment of food, clothing, and housing, the walking range is limited to this mansion. It wasn't until yesterday that the emperor issued a decree that, in addition to lifting his walking restrictions, he was also allowed to study at the Chongwen Pavilion.

Although he is already the father of two children, Feng Zhidai is still obsessed with the culture of the Central Plains, especially learning.

Originally, when he entered the East Palace today, he was ready to be ridiculed. As a result, as soon as he met the prince, he got a very pertinent evaluation. This is something that has rarely been seen before.

Great-grandmother, Mrs. Xian, is indeed a spiritual leader in Lingnan, but in the Central Plains, not many people respect her.

With a respectful salute, Feng Zhidai didn't say anything, but Li Chengqian saw a smile in his eyes.

Cheng Chusi and others were still fighting there, so Li Chengqian invited Feng Zhidai to visit the Chongwen Pavilion first.

People in their thirties came to school with a group of young people and young children, but Li Chengqian was not surprised. Chaowen said, Xi can die. Even if there are some nouveau riche in later generations, they will enter some universities to restudy, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, where knowledge is priceless.

The students who have gone crazy don't need to care, they who eat more than their studies in the East Palace, it is absolutely impossible for them to forget the breakfast time.

After visiting the classroom, lounge and office, Li Chengqian took Feng Zhidai into the cafeteria.

There are now two Li Gang and Yu Shinan who are eating in the cafeteria.

Although the two are twenty years apart, it does not prevent them from forming a friendship with each other.

Seeing Li Chengqian walking in, with a long beard behind him, Li Gang couldn't help asking, "Chengqian, is this the new commander sent to you by His Majesty?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and introduced: "Two gentlemen, this is Feng Zhidai, the son of Lingnan Feng An, who came to Chang'an last year, and his father ordered him to come to Chongwen Hall to study. ”

"Feng Zhidai, these two are our gentlemen, the crown prince and master Li Gang and the secretary and young eunuch Yu Shinan."

Feng Zhidai hurriedly saluted on the spot, terrified.

"Lingnan Feng Zhidai, I have seen two gentlemen. The people of the wilderness, who have been studying for many years, hope that the two gentlemen will not laugh. ”

Although I don't know much about these two, just looking at their official positions, they must be well-educated.

What was surprising was that Yu Shinan actually put down his chopsticks and stood up, and personally helped Feng Zhidai up.

After Feng Zhidai got up, Yu Shinan said solemnly: "Forget the title of the wilderness person, whether it is your great-grandmother Madame Xian or your father Feng An, the contribution to the Tang Dynasty is not comparable to that of ordinary dragon ministers." Since ancient times, the communication between Lingnan and the Central Plains has been blocked, and although some prisoners have been exiled, it is still not enough to pass on the knowledge of the Central Plains. And what about studying in the first year, with your identity, the old man is absolutely welcome, and you dare not hide your secrets! ”

Li Gang said to Feng Zhidai with a smile on the side: "You, you, what's wrong with coming from Lingnan, you don't need to be so cautious." Your great-grandmother is Mrs. Xian, and your father is Feng An, and you can stand proudly on the street and shout out. The contribution made by your Feng family to Lingnan is not clear to some ugly husbands, but it is very clear to those who have learned.

Don't pay attention to it, the Feng family rebelled? The old man would rather believe that the sun is coming out of the west. The old man didn't ask where you were before, but since you came to the East Palace, you have the prince and the old man to help you. Don't be inhibited, just treat this place as your home. ”

Looking at a serious and kind old gentleman, Feng Zhidai was pleasantly surprised.

Since arriving in Chang'an, he has not been treated like this except for the official named Tang Jian in Honglu Temple.

Glancing at Feng Zhidai, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly.

Nowadays, the general perception of Lingnan by the Tang people is that it is a wild land, so it is natural to put the mark of "barbarism" on the people there. Poor Feng Zhidai didn't get decent treatment in Chang'an at all.

Feng An's refusal to come to the court is actually justified.

Around the first year of Zhenguan, it was the dark time when Feng Ang was killing the temple, and the battle situation was critical, so naturally he couldn't be separated. However, the emperor's father actually believed the local officials' recitals, and he had to send troops to Lingnan.... Recommended Reading: /.. /

Most of them thought that Feng Ang couldn't come, and they felt that he was not in the right position.

Although the matter of Xuanwumen actually happened, the events of that period of time also became the emperor's rebellion, and he was angry when he touched it.

Today's breakfast in the cafeteria is millet porridge and egg scones.

invited Feng Zhidai to his position, and Li Chengqian helped him get a breakfast.

Sometimes, a thing is called taboo because there aren't enough people doing it.

Li Gang was led by Li Chengqian to learn to chat and talk during meals, and the serious and square Yu Shinan was also taken away from the ancient precepts by the old gentleman.

is old, and the past is rich, so after meeting Feng Zhidai, the two of them always have to ask Zhang Sanla, Li Sila, how they are doing in Lingnan.

As a place where the Central Plains exiled prisoners, Lingnan does not know how many Central Plains people were sent. They all thought that Lingnan was a land of smoke and miasma, and they would die if they went, but in fact, there were still so many people who could survive.

The convicts of the Central Plains, as long as they are not killed by climate mosquitoes or something, in Lingnan, it is easy to become the seat of various families, including the Feng family.

After learning that a friend of his former dynasty who was exiled to Lingnan because of his outspoken performance is still alive and well, Yu Shinan happily drank a large mouthful of gruel as a celebration.

Li Chengqian was very interested in this kind of conversation, but his lack of historical knowledge made him not know which of the two old gentlemen's names was pronounced.

After barely finishing breakfast, seeing that Qin Huaidao and the others had finished their morning exercise and washed up and came over to eat, Li Chengqian was about to leave.

These bastards, after the morning exercise, sweat profusely, and don't go to wash, just grunt two faces, and the strong smell of sweat can smoke people's heads.

Seeing the bastard boys entering, Li Gang and Yu Shinan also hurriedly ended their meal and fled.

Out of the cafeteria, Li Gang turned his wheelchair twice, caught up with Li Chengqian, and said, "The old man asked for leave for you, and for the next period of time, you don't have to take classes in Chongwen Hall." As for what you are going to do, you should know it yourself. ”

Yu Shinan followed up and also gave Li Chengqian a firm look. If the prince did not learn well, he would definitely not agree to let the prince do his own thing. What made him change his mind was the reading notes that Li Gang showed him.

The thoughts written by the prince after reading the book seem to be wild, but in fact, they are particularly reasonable under careful study. At present, the progress of Chongwen Hall is very slow, and continuing to teach is delaying the prince's time.

Li Chengqian glanced at the old gentleman gratefully, and walked out of the Chongwen Pavilion with brisk steps after bowing his hand.

Now it is the season for the grass to grow and the warbler flies, and what is speechless is that from the New Year to the present, there has been no snow, and the apricot blossom rain that should have been annoying has just turned around the land of Guanzhong and left quietly.

This year's locust plague is inevitable.

When the imperial court held a pro-ploughing ceremony, many grain merchants gathered together to drink, and even drank one or two to death in excitement. They silently watched the people happily cultivate, but in their hearts they were thinking about the most cruel things.

Since doing business is insulting their ancestors, they simply left their faces behind and returned to the cold-blooded nature of businessmen.

The letter sent to the palace was replied to.

The emperor's father allowed him to leave the palace, but in addition to having to bring more than five hundred guards with him, he also had to pull a person Wei Zheng.

When I was exercising in the morning, I learned from Li Jing what Wei Zheng had done during this time.

Above the court, Wei Zheng openly accused some high-ranking officials and big families of hoarding grain, intending to hoard goods. But fortunately, he still knew the stakes and did not directly say anything about the locust plague. After all, there are still a few people who have predictions.

Now that Wei Zheng is separated from the court, it is really the emperor's helpless move. Although the occurrence of the locust plague can be determined, he would rather face it when it really happens, rather than announce it in advance and cause panic. Wei Zheng, who is always bouncing in the court, is like an unstable fuse. Rather than letting him cause trouble, it is better to stuff him with a job out of Beijing and drive him away from afar.

Wei Zheng's home is not difficult to find, as long as he knows that it is in Xinghuafang.

As long as you find that the front door is "Wei Mansion", and it looks a little dilapidated compared to the surrounding area.

Wei Zheng is a person who is the same as in the court, what he is like in real life. Unlike some officials, when they went to the court, they wore patches that had been sewn and entered the palace gate, especially after entering the backyard, and they resumed a rich life of a large bowl of wine and meat.

The dilapidated door of the mansion even has fallen copper nails on it. The two stone lions at the door, then they are not lions, there is only one with four claws left on the body, can it be called a lion?

With the prince's greeting sticker, when he entered the side door, the side door moved, and Yu Tai just pushed it with his hand, and there was a tooth-sore squeak. It's not that Wei Zheng's family doesn't have servants, but he doesn't deliberately arrange a gatekeeper.

As a figure hated by the emperor, beware of hundreds of officials, and dispersed from the evils, Wei Zheng didn't think that a few people would come to visit his house anyway.

When the prince visits, even if it is Wei Zheng, he must follow the etiquette and open the main gate with a guard of honor to greet him.

After not seeing him for a while, Wei Zheng lost some weight again, and the faint dark circles under his eyes indicated that his sleep quality was not very good in the past few nights.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what happened to the Weichen Mansion?"

Li Chengqian walked out of the carriage and didn't get down, but directly invited: "Gu wants to go out of the city for a walk, which happens to coincide with Dr. Wei's mission, so I specially invite you to go with me." ”

The prince did not enter the mansion, which made Wei Zheng breathe a sigh of relief. Because today's Wei Mansion is not so much a residence as a granary.

Over the years, although he has been giving to the common people, there are some rewards that cannot be sold at will. Therefore, Wei Zheng will not be poor to the end.

This year is different, since learning the news of the locust plague, Wei Zheng decisively took out all the royal rewards, sold them at a high price, and then grabbed the grain with the grain merchants. At this time, if you enter the Wei Mansion, you can see that all the buildings in the front yard have been demolished and converted into granaries.

didn't change his clothes, so Wei Zheng got into the carriage in his regular clothes.

Inspecting the township, it is better to keep a low profile. Although the prince's robe is handsome, it is also the best artillery fire attractor.

The guards led by the five hundred princes changed their armor and bought a few carts. The sacks in the car were filled with dry branches, which were not heavy and could be used to hide the horizontal knives. The style of the horizontal knife is no different from that of a wooden staff, and only by pressing the tension spring and pulling it out will it evolve into a killing weapon.

More than 500 people forcibly disguised as a caravan left Chang'an and entered the territory of Wanmin County.

Different from the desolation of the past, since all the displaced people went out of the mountains and became naturalized, the land around Chang'an has been well distributed. If it weren't for the locust plague, the instructions to collect the displaced people at this time should have been issued to all the land in Datang.

The carriage drove past a wheat field, and Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng lifted the curtain on one side and looked at the people working in the fields.

The simple peasants have a smile on their faces and work with sweat. This would have been a good picture, but because of the locust plague that was bound to come, this picture scroll was a bit cruel.

Stopping at a piece of uncultivated land, Li Chengqian jumped out of the carriage, pulled out the branches from the guards' carriages, and whipped the haystack.

The next moment, there was a large group of small things, jumping around in the grass, especially happy.

With a gloomy face watching the locust nymphs flee, Wei Zheng's face seemed to be able to wring out water.

There are so many grasses in any place, and it is estimated that there will not be much difference elsewhere.

Now, these guys can only jump, but when they grow bigger and bigger, and even grow wings, it will be a catastrophe.

"It's okay to think about accumulating fame, the key is that there are always some people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to get rich, and the old man can't get used to it, so he scolded some people in court, and as a result, the old man has never received a grain of grain since the next day. Honorable, hehe. ”
