Chapter 487: Li Zhi's Revenge
Li Zhi left the East Palace and went to the Xianchi Hall where Li Shimin lived.
The legend of the salty pond is a large pond on the Kunlun Mountain, which is the place where the sun bathes, and Qu Yuan said in the "Tianwen": "Out of the Yanggu, bathe in the salty pond." In "Lisao", it is also said: "Drinking surplus horses in the salty pond, the total surplus is Fusang." ’
In short, this is a fairyland, which is in line with Li Shimin's current intention of seeking immortal cultivation, since there are naturally no concubines around him to seek immortal cultivation, Li Zhi usually serves here.
Li Zhi entered and exited the Xianchi Hall as if he was returning to his own home, and he came directly to Li Shimin's dormitory without notification.
The attendant at the door of the dormitory saw Li Zhi walking here, so he went in to report to Li Shimin, and just came out at this time, and saluted Li Zhi with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Your Majesty will let you in." ”
Li Zhi smiled gently at the chamberlain, and walked into Li Shimin's bedroom.
"Son-in-law, see father."
Li Shimin was reading a book when he heard a voice put down the book and said, "Flat!" ”
"Thank you, Father!"
Li Zhi straightened up, walked to Li Shimin's side, and said, "Erchen just went to the East Palace to see Brother Li Xiang. ”
"How's your illness?"
Li Shimin asked.
Li Zhi said with a happy face when he heard this: "It's already good, he was playing with Xiang'er when Erchen went." ”
"Okay." Li Shimin picked up the book and continued to read.
Li Zhi walked up to Li Shimin and hesitated slightly: "Erchen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Li Shimin glanced up at Li Zhi and said angrily: "Speak!" ”
Hearing this, Li Zhi whispered with an embarrassed face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be too fond of him. ”
"Hmm!"
Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Cheng Qian told me before that he was going to be sent to Liuqiu Island (Taiwan) when Li Xiang was twenty years old, so I think it's because of this that I indulged him a little!" ”
Li Zhi's expression darkened when he heard this: "It's the sons who are useless." ”
Li Zhi said this because Li Chengqian originally wanted to give Liuqiu to Li Zhi, but Li Zhi couldn't live or die.
Li Shimin nodded and looked at Li Zhi and said, "Say whatever you want." ”
"Erchen heard that Liuqiu Island is the maritime gateway of the Tang Dynasty, and the governance of Liuqiu is more related to the safety of my Datang."
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction when he heard this: "I watched the third child draw a map of the Tang Sea area, this Liuqiu Island is indeed very important. During the hundreds of years when the Western Zhou Dynasty was divided into feudal regions, some candidate states were stronger than the kings of heaven, so that the cart was turned upside down, and the world was in chaos.
Now that the Tang Dynasty is divided into feudal states overseas, it may not be that there will be no strong countries overseas in a few hundred years.
Liuqiu Island is the maritime gateway of the Tang Dynasty, and if there is a mistake, there will be great trouble after thousands of years. ”
Li Shimin said that he didn't forget to wake up Li Zhi and said: "But you have already made it clear that if you don't go to Liuqiu Island, you will seal it, so don't care too much." ”
Obviously, Li Shimin thought that Li Zhi was snatching the island from Li Xiang.
Li Zhi listened and hurriedly defended: "My father and emperor misunderstood his son, and the son just imagined that he would seek the island in the future, and he had a long way to go, and he needed to be a good student, study and reason." ”
Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "This is right. ”
Li Zhi hurriedly continued: "But Erchen heard from their brother that it seems that when the grandson is in better health, he will set off for Yandu, and take advantage of the spring to play on the road." ”
"Huh?"
Li Shimin frowned unconsciously.
Li Zhi was secretly happy when he saw this, and continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves his son very much, and I am afraid that he will not be able to teach him a strict lesson, so his son wants to ask his father to order them to find a strict teacher and order them to study in Chang'an. ”
Li Shimin nodded without doubting him and said: "What you said is reasonable, Cheng Qian really spoils them too much, so it is better to stay by my side to manage them in order to become talents." ”
When Li Shimin said this, he got up directly and said to the outside world: "Spread my will, from now on, the emperor's eldest grandson Li Ju and Li Zhong will study with the imperial grandson in the East Palace, and order Li Anren, the left concubine of the East Palace, to teach strictly. ”
Li Zhi saw that Li Shimin really ordered Li Xiang to stay, and he was happy when he suddenly heard Li Shimin mention his son Li Zhong, and hurriedly asked: "Father Huangzhong's son is young, I'm afraid I will cause chaos to the grandson." ”
Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Zhi and said: "If you don't go to sea, it's okay to stay with me, Li Zhong and they always have to go out, let their cousins study together, and they will have a care in the future." ”
"Thank you, Father!" Li Zhi hurriedly bowed deeply, expressing his emotion at Li Shimin's arrangement.
"Get up!"
Li Shimin said and stretched out his hand to help Li Zhi and said to him: "Cheng Qian is not Chang'an, I am busy, Li Xiang brothers can't be controlled by their elders, you have to pay more attention to their brothers." ”
"The retainers obey."
Li Zhi was ecstatic.
Seeing this, Li Shimin patted Li Zhi's shoulder with satisfaction, turned around and sat down to read.
……
……
Yandu, Sanhaiyuan.
The wind and sun were beautiful in front of Zichen Palace, and Li Chengqian and Xu Jingzong each sat by the water according to a rosewood case and revised the article.
Li Chengqian put an article he had corrected on the table and motioned for the chamberlain to transfer it to Xu Jingzong, and Xu Jingzong couldn't help twitching at the corner of his mouth when he glanced at it.
Li Chengqian saw it and said with a smile: "Xu Qing's family has a way of 'articles are eternal, and you know what you gain and lose. These plays and articles you have written will be passed down through the ages. ”
Xu Jingzong said in his heart: There is also a possibility that someone will cut off his head.
Li Chengqian asked Xu Jingzong to write everything that criticized Li Shimin's cultivation of immortals, which was Li Chengqian's preparation for returning to Chang'an and smoothly taking power.
Of course, Xu Jingzong didn't want to do anything that offended Li Shimin, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Chengqian's will, so he could only hide his head and write some perfunctory Li Chengqian.
How could Li Chengqian let him get his wish, and if he had nothing to do today, he would call Xu Jingzong into Sanhaiyuan to revise it together.
Xu Jingzong said carefully: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if the drama is written like this, is it too much, everyone in the world knows that the minister is a subordinate official of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the minister writes these scolding immortals and seeking the Tao, which will make the people of the world feel that the minister is instructed by His Royal Highness the Prince, which will hinder your reputation for benevolence and filial piety." ”
Li Chengqian sneered and said, "Originally, it was written by the Lone King, and the people of the world still need to guess?"
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?"
Xu Jingzong didn't understand, didn't Li Chengqian always want a reputation of benevolence and filial piety?
Li Chengqian looked at Xu Jingzong and asked solemnly, "Do you know that the eldest grandson Wuji has reappeared?"
Xu Jingzong was speechless for a long time by this news, Li Chengqian led the troops as the crown prince, but his political enemies could be the prime minister, how could Li Chengqian sit still?
Seeing that Xu Jingzong was silent, Li Chengqian said directly: "After these things are written, they will be sent to Yandu Academy in Xishan and Jiangdu Academy in Yangzhou to let the gentlemen and students there read them first." ”
Jiangdu Academy and Yandu Academy were both newly built by Li Chengqian in recent years, the gentlemen and students of Jiangdu Academy are all from the southeast broken scholar clan, and the gentlemen and students in Yandu Academy are the main Confucians and young talents from all over Hebei Province.
Li Chengqian repaired books in the Chongxian Hall of the East Palace and built library buildings in several major cities in the world, which won the hearts of scholars all over the world. The regime of the Southeast and Southern Dynasties was broken, and the scholars had long had no capital in the face of the imperial court, and as soon as they heard that Li Chengqian had built an academy in Jiangdu, they came out to serve one after another.
After the surnames of the eighteen scholars in Hebei Province were cleaned up by Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian gave birth to a Buddha among the common people, and the scholars here were naturally willing to work for him.
Therefore, Li Chengqian chose to first criticize Li Shimin in these two private places.
Xu Jingzong knew that Li Chengqian did not have Chang'an and Luoyang because it was not the time to go back, and he couldn't startle the snake.
Li Chengqian arranged a public opinion war here, and saw Liu Kui coming in a hurry.
"What?"
Li Chengqian looked up and saw that Liu Kui's face was wrong, and asked directly?
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Kui first saluted Li Chengqian, and then handed over a stack of messages sent from Chang'an.
Li Chengqian took a glance and read ten lines, then got up, and with a "bang", the heavy pineapple wooden case in front of him was knocked down by him.
Li Chengqian's hands were trembling with the news, panting, and striding back and forth in front of the Zichen Palace.
In the end, he looked up to the sky and yelled: "Li Ju, he is still a child!" ”
The voice was full of pain and unwillingness, as if he was sleepy, which was the most heart-wrenching thing that Li Chengqian had encountered since he crossed over.
Xu Jingzong, Liu Kui, and all the guards in front of Zichen Hall all looked at Li Chengqian with pale faces, not knowing what made Li Chengqian so out of shape.
Even Liu Kui doesn't know the terrible consequences of drug addiction.
Venting some of the anger in his chest, Li Chengqian turned around and pointed at Liu Kui and said, "Immediately send a message to Wang Fangyi, immediately take Li Xiang and Li Ju to Luoyang, and Li Ju is not allowed to take drugs again." ”
