Under normal circumstances, there will be no big mistakes, and they will be recognized, even the emperor may not be able to cover everything, how can the prince be foolproof?

Li Shimin felt that this was very good, so that he could hand Chang'an into the hands of the prince for a while, so that he could have a trip that was conducive to his physical and mental health. Although this trip is not too far, although it has not even been out of Guanzhong, it is really rare for Li Shimin, who has been out of the palace for a long time in six years.

Visiting Qizhou, by the way, to check whether the site of the first cement road built by the Ministry of Industry is suitable or not, this is Li Shimin's excuse for this trip.

In addition to building a cement road between Chang'an and Luoyang, the Ministry of Industry also has to build a cement road from Chang'an to Longyou. The shape of Longyou Dao is more like an arm stretched out in a safe lair, and in the case that the Eastern Turks have been destroyed, Longyou has a police, which is no different from Jieli breaking into Gaoling.

However, even if this road is considered a traffic artery, the heart of an emperor who is in charge of the Ministry of Labor is also a typical unprofessional, seemingly perfect excuse, even the low-level officials can't be deceived.

Wei Zheng protested, but now he has thought about it behind closed doors at home, but Dai Xuan squeaked, and was forced to re-examine the files of Dali Temple to ensure that there were no unjust and wrongful convictions since the first year of Wude. This time, the emperor was determined to go out and have a show.

Wei Zheng and Dai Xuan were unwilling to tear their faces with the emperor because of such a trivial matter, so they could only see what was out of sight, while the other courtiers were applauding. In their opinion, it was already good that the emperor could find a decent excuse for his willfulness.

It was not the beginning of the month, but a large pilgrimage meeting was held. At the court meeting, Li Shimin can be regarded as arranging all the courtiers clearly this time.

Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong led the left and right military guards to accompany them, and the six Shangshu only had his "iron buddy" eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and Li Daliang, who were indispensable in the study and judgment of the route, and Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who should follow the most, were not among them.

And the old house of Zhongshu Ling was left to assist, the prince, and the prison country.

"Wechen took the order."

With Fang Xuanling's words, Li Chengqian knew that he had now been upgraded from the prince of the prince to the "prince of the country".

"Zhong Aiqing can retire from the court, and tomorrow, Suzaku Street will gather."

After saying this? Li Shimin was satisfied and announced his retirement from the dynasty.

This time Li Chengqian did not return to the East Palace? Instead, he followed the emperor's father into the harem.

By the Liangyi Gate, the emperor's father was really waiting for him.

How many steps ahead? Li Chengqian arched his hand and said, "Father? The courtiers didn't dare to say that you put the responsibility of supervising the country on the sons and daughters? Isn't it too hasty? ”

Li Shimin said as he walked: "Sloppy? If it was the beginning of the year, there would have been people who would have accused me of being sloppy? But when I told Fang Xuanling about it? They all insisted that it was all right. Boy, Wei Zheng and the others are handling government affairs in your East Palace, but they are not ordered by me, why do they put the location of their office in the East Palace regardless of the violations? It's to teach you better. ”

Speaking of which? It turned into a wry smile: "But what about the result? A piece about the disposal of the grassland tribe, Fang Xuanling wrote down three articles, and added more than a dozen in your hands, I couldn't help but be amazed when I saw it, and Wei Zheng even took this chapter as a model to circulate in the imperial city? made Fang Xuanling unable to give birth. It's a good thing to be sharp, but smart people are easy to be mistaken by smart? I know that you are a smart prince, but it is too much to be smart enough to check and fill in the gaps for Fang Xuanling. ”

Speaking of that letter? Li Chengqian was angry: "Father, the son only felt that Fang Xiang was deliberate afterwards?" Arrangement of the steppe? Such an important twist? Why would a smart person like Fang Xiang only write three innocuous articles? As for appearing on Erchen's desk, it's too much of a coincidence! After this incident, if there are any mistakes in some folds in the future, people will definitely not blame Fang Xuanling's head, but will involuntarily take a look at whether this fold has passed through the hands of Erchen! It didn't go through the hands of the sons and daughters that they would blame the head of the prime minister. ”

Li Shimin laughed: "Look, this is a real smart person, last time you were cheated by Fang Xuanling and them, didn't you involuntarily enter the pit this time?" I told you not to act too smart, otherwise it is easy to carry the black pot, that is, you don't listen to persuasion, a typical teenager's mind. ”

Seeing the emperor's father laughing and shaking his head, Li Chengqian didn't know what to say.

It seems to him that it is an unforgivable thing to test another person with the affairs of the state, or to trap another person. But in the hands of Fang Xuanling and others, it may not be. Perhaps, this is the difference between his petty civilian mentality and the politician mentality.

Before I knew it, I had already walked to the Ganlu Palace, and when I walked into the palace gate, Li Shimin continued: "This time I traveled, leaving you in charge of the country, in fact, it was a test of your ability. With Fang Xuanling here, you can't do anything that will bring disaster to the country and the people, no matter what you do wrong, the mistake will fall on me. So, you can rest assured that you are bold and bold in supervising the country, and there is no harm in listening to the opinions of Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others in government affairs. ”

said it heroically, as if he was willing to carry the black pot for his son on this trip.

Looking around, this was the first time he had come to the Manna Temple.

The emperor's bedroom, in fact, is like this, there is not much difference from other halls, and even the dragon bed used for resting has places of wear.

At this time, Li Shimin rarely engaged in formalism, as long as he said that the palace should be economical, he would definitely economize.

"What do you look at? I ask you, do you hear? ”

After his neck was twitched, Li Chengqian came back to his senses, and hurriedly looked at the emperor's father honestly: "What did my father ask just now?" ”

Li Shimin finally held back his dragon claws: "I ask you, why do you have to involve Li Ke in the matter of Lingnan?" You shouldn't be unaware of his existence, it's still a threat to you, right? ”

"Back to his father, although Li Ke and Erchen are not compatriots of the same mother, they are also Erchen's younger brothers, and this kind of entrepreneurial investment waiting to make a lot of money should not be left behind. As for those speculations about Li Ke, Erchen didn't want to deal with them at all. When you run out of energy, those people's bones are all gone. Unwarranted suspicion will destroy the relationship between brothers, and you should be very clear about this. ”

Looking at the prince's serious face, there were some words, Li Shimin still didn't have the face to say them.

Even if King Xi wasn't so suspicious of him, I'm afraid he would eventually bring him down and replace him. It's just that it won't hurt his life when the time comes.

When he thinks of the previous things, he is a little irritable, and he has forgotten as much as possible, but when he mentions them inadvertently, those things will still be tough all in his mind.

Seeing that the emperor's father waved his hand, Li Chengqian could only stand up and get out.

A sentence that evokes the most unpleasant memories of the emperor's father is really not what he wants.

After leaving the Ganlu Palace, he went to the Liangyi Hall to visit the eldest grandson. Originally, he thought so, but the two eunuchs who came out of the corner still made him have to turn around and enter the rockery on the side. When he followed him from Zhang Yun to Fang Sheng today, he knew that the Alliance of the Inferior was afraid that he would have something to do with him.

A few years have passed, Wang Sheng is still that old, and when the eunuch is in his position, there is no need to worry about the future. If the emperor is a little impressed, he may add a "thick burial".

Before entering the rockery and avoiding the sight of outsiders, Wang Sheng fell to his knees: "I haven't asked His Highness for many years, it's the fault of the old slave!" ”

Li Chengqian sat on a stone and said: "For the sake of secrecy, this is also a matter of necessity, you stopped Gu today, it really made Gu unexpected, the placement of those eunuchs out of the palace, there should be no problems, in addition, what else do you have to find Gu?" ”

Wang Sheng didn't get up, but lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness, now Your Majesty wants to go out of the palace to patrol the country, you want to supervise the country, and it is easy for some bad things to happen, so the old slave only appeared here today." In the future, whenever there is any change in the palace, the old slave will send someone to send you a letter, as long as there are no problems during this period, your position as the crown prince will be more stable! ”

I thought it was something, but it turned out to be this.

Li Chengqian said helplessly: "You think too much, although my father is traveling, he will definitely leave more than one backhand in Chang'an, and we don't need to worry about it at all." Besides, don't think that your existence is hidden, it would be strange if the Hundred Riders didn't know about your existence. When you do things in the future, be a little more restrained, don't mix these things too much, once your existence is threatened, you will be immediately eliminated by your father's heavy hand, when the time comes, do you let the lonely eye disappear, or do you fight with your father and the emperor? ”、

Wang Sheng was immediately embarrassed.

Standing up and patting Wang Sheng on the shoulder, Li Chengqian said: "Live your life well, those who go out of the palace, as long as they have a way to live, they can't ask for more." It's not that Lone looks down on you, what's going on with Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty, you don't need Lone to tell you, you know it. Keeping to oneself is the way to survive, don't reveal the slightest idea of power, otherwise, when the time comes, you will be severely attacked! ”

Who Zhao Gao was, Wang Sheng naturally knew it, and when he saw that the prince said harshly, he could only nod again and again.

Seeing that he had already shocked them, Li Chengqian turned around and left.

In almost every dynasty, there will be one or two powerful eunuchs, and as people in the palace who have no descendants, they will be trusted by the emperor many times. But I don't know if it's because the history books can be scandalized or if it's really like this, the eunuchs who got the power really didn't seem to be doing the right thing.

Pity and hatred can always be connected, and Li Chengqian doesn't want these poor people under his command to become hateful.

Unlike the pure Manna Palace, the Liangyi Hall is busy. The emperor has to travel, and he has to take the queen with him, so all the affairs basically fall on the head of the eldest grandson.

However, the eldest grandson is worthy of being a generation of Ming queens, and it is only the palace maid and eunuch who are busy, and she sits; In addition to the next order from time to time in the Liangyi Palace, he was also in the mood to gossip about his son and daughter-in-law.

"In the end, it's an enlightened person, when Bengong went to the Su family to see the daughter of the Su family, I saw the letter you wrote, but the girl went into the house in shame, and Bengong couldn't call it out again. That's good, and if you break the rules, it may ensure that you can be happy after marriage. If this kind of behavior is not too appalling, this palace wants to implement it as a queen. ”

The eldest grandmother is the world, and such a thing is indeed within her jurisdiction. But what kind of bad taste it must be to make fun of his daughter-in-law with his son.

"The queen mother said very much, I don't know if you have unraveled her? This stupid girl, when she heard that the Wang family intended to marry the royal family, she felt that her sons were going to abandon her. Listening to Changle, his eyes were crying like peaches. ”

After a few times, Li Chengqian's skin also thickened. Isn't love before marriage a little bit ahead, and many people envy it and can't envy it!

"Naturally, she enlightened her, but Cheng Qian, Su Yuan, this girl is kind-hearted, although this is a good thing, but as a queen, you still have to learn to be strict, blindly relaxed, you can't manage a harmonious harem environment."

"Okay, okay, Erchen knows, you are still busy, Erchen has some things to go back to the East Palace to deal with, and Erchen will come over to see you off tomorrow morning."

took out two sachets from his arms, stuffed one for Yuzhang and Changle, and then gave a bag of beef jerky to the gluttonous Li Zhi before Li Chengqian left.

The children of the eldest grandson are generally brought by her personally and raised from childhood to adulthood. This "ordinary" is 100% destroyed in him, when he was only eight years old, he had to be separated from his eldest grandson.

But this arrangement is still good, at least his secret, so that it is not easy to expose.

Sleeping and talking in his dreams is his biggest vice, but fortunately, Zhang Yun and others don't understand anything like "little electric donkey", "ten-yuan steamed restaurant", "battery is out of power" and the like, so they just think it's nonsense.

The afternoon is still Fang Xuanling's teaching time, although this time he is in charge of the country, but it is Fang Xuanling who mainly makes the decision. The seal of the jade seal of the country was put away by the emperor and not shown to anyone, so during this period, only the seals of the prince and the Chinese book could be added to the folds of the imperial court.

After having a dinner in the East Palace, Fang Xuanling walked home with a full ditch.

After sending Fang Xuanling away, lying on the bed in the East Palace, Li Chengqian couldn't help but fantasize, if he also talked in his dreams on the bed of the future concubine, what would it be like?

He looked at the slightly bulging quilt shyly, gave himself a punch, and then began to count the sheep to sleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Chengqian woke up in a noisy voice.

There is no way not to wake up, although the Li Zhengdian is in the middle of the East Palace, but the people outside are shouting and barking, and the gathering still disturbs people's dreams.

After dressing up, he got up, and as soon as he walked out of the temple gate, he saw Yu Tai.

Yu Tai saluted and said: "Your Highness, there are a large number of soldiers and horses of Zuo Wuwei hoarded outside the gate of the East Palace, and the noisy sergeants have been taught a lesson, but the neighing of the war horses is not something that can be controlled." ”

"It's okay, the road ahead, I'm going to send my father and mother."

Only when he went out did he take the emperor this time he did not mean to travel casually, although the local area exempted the loess mat road, local officials paid tribute and other etiquette, but in the scale of the trip, he did not intend to compromise.

The emperor traveled on a gold-decorated royal chariot, although many places are only gold leaf, but the price of this car is also very appalling. There were thirty close guards with broadswords, bows and arrows, and tail spears in their hands. However, the weapons in the hands of these people are more decorative than practical. One person holding the yellow cover of the crank in front of each hall holding the halberd and four people holding the whip. Between the canopies, in addition to the ten horses of the guard of honor, there were a thousand guards on horseback.

Not counting the accompanying officials and the army, the internal contingent under the protection of the army alone is close to two thousand people.

In addition, the emperor traveled 54 canopies and 72 fans.....

There is no intention of cutting at all.

Seeing the team parked in front of the palace, Li Chengqian suddenly thought of one word: "trench"!

In fact, the emperor is not much different from the nouveau riche, and he is not going to Yangzhou, but he is just going to Qizhou to go around, live for two days, and act like he is close to the people, so he can use such a battle?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also thinks that His Majesty is making a big fuss?"

"No, absolutely not, the etiquette system stipulates that the emperor will have such a battle thirty miles away from Beijing, and now he is thirty miles away from Qizhou."

It was very surprising that Wei Zheng, who was supposed to be thinking about it behind closed doors at home, actually appeared here today in his regular clothes, and he would not accompany him. When the emperor wants to travel and relax, he doesn't want a nasty ghost to be around.

"Hehe, the son doesn't say anything about the father, the old man understands."

"You understand a fart!"

Li Chengqian wanted to say this, but he could only roar in his heart.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the emperor's behavior, when he becomes an emperor, in this era when there is no TV network, what is the difference between not showing his appearance to the people and low-level officials and walking at night in brocade? Hiding in the palace, what kind of emperor is it, only by standing in front of many people and enjoying the sound of the mountains and tsunamis can he clearly know his status.

"Why didn't Dr. Wei accompany him? After hearing that you were reprimanded by your father, Lone didn't refute it at all. ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "This time it's just Qizhou, don't say Your Majesty, the heat has been unbearable recently, and the senior officials of the DPRK and Central China have been struggling in the official office, so it's nothing to go out for a walk." But next time, if Your Majesty wants to gain an inch again, the old man will definitely not agree! ”

After speaking, seeing the emperor's palanquin coming out of the palace from a distance, Wei Zheng confessed and left in a gloomy manner. He thought behind closed doors that he would not be able to come out until tomorrow, and the emperor deliberately chose to release him after leaving.

patting his face, Li Chengqian could only catch up.

As soon as one foot stepped on the ground, Li Shimin saw Li Chengqian walking towards him, pointed at Li Jian and said: "I left Li Jian to you, if there is anything that can't be handled, if you are relaxed, you will send Hongling to send a letter urgently, and let him deal with it if you are anxious." Don't disturb my Ya unless necessary.... Don't disturb me to patrol the village! ”
