Volume 1 Into the Tang Dynasty Chapter 77 Every move has a fixed number
"From today onwards, be a person who works hard not to stay at home".
"From today on, be a useful person to Datang".
"From today onwards, face the sea and let the storm come a little more violently."
Li Chengyang, who got up early in the morning, whispered secretly to the window, finished dressing under the service of the maid, spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, kicked open the door, and shouted to the stunned people in the courtyard:
"Lao Zhao, what about my meal, practice etiquette on the first day today, don't delay me, or I'll ask Grandpa Li to smoke you."
Lao Zhao flashed over from the side, and threw his face back from the maid beside Li Chengyang: "It's all you, I asked you to wake up the young master early, you don't dare to go, be careful if you delay things, be careful to throw dead mice in your meal."
Lao Zhao is the cook's retainer, who entered Li Chengyang's command, and originally didn't need him to continue cooking, but he himself said that he didn't have any other skills, so he handed over all the meals in this side courtyard to him, so he could eat at ease.
As a retainer, he faded away from the original chef style of shrinking his head and brains overnight, and now he is turning around the maids as half the master of the side courtyard, trying to prevent these little goblins from confusing his young master.
Li Chengyang stopped the maid who wanted to come up to help him taste the food, originally this matter should have been from the eunuch, who made him hate the eunuch deeply, he could be friendly, sympathetic, and even promoted, but the premise was that he must be five meters away.
"You don't have to try the food sent by Lao Zhao in the future, and none of the rest of the people can be left behind," Li Chengyang took the breakfast and instructed the maid next to him.
Lao Zhao, as an old cook in the palace and his retainer, is still a little difficult to do with the food in his hands, so Li Chengyang eats very relieved, and the rest of the people, such as Xiao'er, dare not guarantee it, the innocent and cute Xiao'er can cook, and it is not so familiar to prevent others from poisoning themselves.
A bowl of lean porridge went down, wiped his mouth, and beckoned Li Shi to come, and the two walked side by side to Li Shimin's bedroom.
Today is the day of the agreed training, walking into the dormitory, several big screens are spliced together to divide the dormitory into two halves, Li Shimin's voice sounded from next door from time to time, it seems that he got up early and started practicing.
An official wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Rites walked over with two old palace maids with stiff smiles on their faces, and stood still to give a salute.
This is the most standard etiquette Li Chengyang has ever seen, there is no one, every move of the three people seems to be carved out of a mold, and the angle and range of action are extremely standard.
As if he saw his appearance more than half a month later, he bit his lip, he had some bad premonitions.
Sure enough, the words of the official who took the lead told him that his hunch was quite accurate: "Please ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin to bow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's couch, and His Royal Highness and the two grandmothers will assist you until you can make the same actions as us."
Isn't this another kind of military training, isn't that version of the action at a glance so slowly tortured, he still knows what he looks like when he salutes, and if he is done with a hasty hand, others will give him King Qin a face, and he can't care about these little things.
Now it's okay, the people who dare to plan are here, and 10,000 percent of them have received Li Shimin's death order, and there are some rumors among the people that they have no rules, and now if you don't take this opportunity to fix yourself, then the sun will come out of the west.
Li Shimin walked out from behind the screen, with a trace of depression on his face, he got up before dawn to practice saluting, he used to think that he was doing a good job, who knew that in the eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites there are loopholes everywhere, this morning to the ancestor Li Er I don't know how many salutes, now this backache is terrible.
Quietly told the eunuchs around him that he would take some great tonic medicine for a while, otherwise he might not be able to persevere.
Put down the hand holding his waist, walked up to Li Chengyang with his head held high, and patted him on the shoulder kindly: "You must practice a lot today, I haven't been taught etiquette since I was a child, you look at what you look like, just take this opportunity to practice more, don't lose the royal face when you go out, you see that Gu easily got recognition, it's not a big deal."
After speaking, he was just about to walk out of the dormitory with his hands behind his back and his head held high, and the official of the Ministry of Rites behind him stepped up: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you must raise your head and chest when you walk, please hold your waist up, so as to show the bearing of a human king."
His body stiffened with his head held high, and then he walked out of the dormitory quickly.
Li Chengyang saw Li Shimin's distant figure, and he was happy, it was rare to see this person eat a deflated one, and the back molars could be seen with a wide open mouth.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, it is really a big loss of face for the court to smile like this, and please ask Your Highness to laugh again, at least to the point where you only hear laughter and don't smile, so as to show the solemnity of Your Highness" The ceremonial official on the side immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Ga" The laughter that stopped quickly made Li Chengyang make a strange sound, and his heart was broken at this time, what is only laughter without smiling? I've never heard of it.
"Hmph, hum, hum" tried it with his mouth closed, reminding him of Duan Zhan's kind.
"Your Highness, this is not okay, you have to smile heartily and generously, don't make such a strange sound, it is undignified" The official immediately answered.
Don't smile, as long as this official is in front of you in the future, then don't want to see his flawless and infectious smile, and from then on, King Qin's smile will become a resounding sound for eternity.
The stiff face made the ceremonial officer smile with satisfaction: "Wonderful, wonderful, so acceptable."
Li Chengyang seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak, it was so difficult to laugh, it was not difficult to think about what strange rules were waiting for him in the future, and when he thought that every move in the future would have to be pointed at first, his heart would collapse.
"That, this lord, what etiquette do I have to learn in the future, you can give me a brief introduction first" Practice everything that should be practiced in advance, and I have a little bottom in my heart.
Don't learn? It's impossible not to learn, the rules are bigger than the sky, five thousand years of inheritance, this thing has penetrated into everyone's bones, people who don't respect the rules will inevitably be rejected by the entire Tang Dynasty, I don't see that Li Shimin is obediently being pointed at, what reason does he, a son, not learn.
"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, learn etiquette step by step, clothing, food, housing and transportation and other aspects have their own rules, His Royal Highness still think less about something else, start with the least of the salute, don't be ambitious" The etiquette official and the amiable tone make people angry, too, people with thorns in the words are easy to have a short life in this line, and all those who can stay are talented.
After knowing that there are countless tests waiting for me, I am not so desperate, for the first time, I feel that the people in my previous life said well, where I fell, I will lie down for a while, from lazy entry to giving up is still a little reasonable.
Li Chengyang, who gave up thinking, became a machine, and he did whatever the ceremonial official said, thanks to the coordination of this body beyond ordinary people, the progress was actually quite good, which also made the ceremonial official breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Shimin asked him to train Li Chengyang with all the etiquette, trying to make up for the training he had when he was a child, he originally thought it was an impossible task, but he didn't expect to see a glimmer of hope now.
If you don't say that you can be the emperor, you can look at people with a good eye, who would have thought that King Qin would have such a strong understanding.
The courtesy officer who was emotionally moved hurriedly stepped forward and corrected Li Chengyang's mistake by hand.
It didn't take long for Li Shimin to move back step by step, there was nothing to do, and now it was a critical period, and the ministers simply didn't report any big and small things, and tried to give Li Shimin time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.
No matter how one step at a time, the road is so long, and after looking at Li Chengyang, who is like a kowtow worm, he found a little balance in his heart, and took the ceremonial officer he appointed into the screen.
Inside the screen, the ancestor of the Li family rode a green ox and stroked his long hair, squinting his eyes and looking at Li Shimin with a smile.
The ceremonial officer stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and as soon as Li Shimin's eyes were closed, he began to pay homage.
Li Chengyang was already dizzy, and Li Shimin's couch in front of him had changed from one to three, and he didn't know how many times he bent his waist this morning, and he didn't add up so much in his previous life.
Finally, Li Chengyang, who was about to persevere, heard the heavenly voice of the ceremonial official: "Your Highness, take a rest, and come back to practice again later."
"Huh" exhaled a breath, and was about to find a place to sit and rest, but was pulled by the ceremonial officer, looking back at the ceremonial official, his eyes were filled with tears, and the twelve-year-old boy who had not been out for a long time sold cute tricks and reappeared in the rivers and lakes.
What makes people happy is that the ceremonial officer doesn't eat this set!
"Your Highness must not relax, now Your Highness is extremely tired, this is the best time to practice standing and sitting, at this time practice will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, do not give up easily."
What can I say, the euphemistic criticism of Li Shimin next door has not stopped, and the fathers have persevered, how dare he, a son, give up first.
Standing and sitting should be upright, what posture is when you are angry, what posture is when you are happy, whether the face should be solemn or peaceful, serious or approachable, Li Chengyang has never found that he usually stands and sits with such a big question.
Finally knew what the two grandmothers were doing, once Li Chengyang didn't stand up and sit down, the grandmother immediately came up and took a wooden stick to give him a good comparison, and the whole body had to fit the straight wooden stick.
"These two are the old people in the palace, and they are definitely serious, and they have been in the palace with strict rules for decades, and their understanding of the rules is not comparable to that of the lower officials, so they were specially called out to be a deputy for the lower officials."
The ceremonial official took advantage of this time to introduce these two old palace maids to Li Chengyang.
Standing and sitting for a while, at the moment of the first results, I didn't have time to be happy to breathe a sigh of relief, and began walking training under the guidance of the ceremonial officer.
His eyes rolled, and he had a bad idea: "This lord, this king has a whim, the scale of this salute is inertia, as long as you get used to a scale, then the salute will naturally bend that scale, is what this king said right?" ”。
Seeing the ceremonial officer nodding, he hurriedly continued: "My lord, how do you say this, let people follow the previous wooden stick, make a wooden frame with a fixed scale, and then you can always tie this wooden frame to adapt, it must be able to greatly improve my learning speed."
The ceremonial officer thought about it, sued him and went to discuss with the ceremonial official on Li Shimin's side, the two of them muttered quietly, and after a while, the ceremonial official on Li Shimin's side nodded.
Li Chengyang's eyes lit up, and the guards in his side courtyard were using this method to train their standing posture, and they also learned from the experience of their previous lives, Li Shimin was unkind, so don't blame him for being unkind, he will pit him once if he is desperately punished today, and he will die together.
