Chapter 38: Li Chengqian

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the center of the Tang Dynasty went to Luoyang Palace.

Not only the emperor and the civil and military officials, but also most of the military forces around Chang'an City - no emperor would allow them to leave him too far, and Li Shimin was no exception.

The team is vast and endless.

And after the last wisp of smoke disappeared out of sight, Li Yuanjia, who had been standing quietly, heard a breath very clearly, his heart moved, and he immediately looked at the person not far in front of him.

Li Yuanjia, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, stayed in Chang'an to supervise the country.

And as the bigwigs and princes of the court and the princes followed to Luoyang, Li Yuanjia, as the pastor of Yongzhou, turned out to be the first person under the crown prince - although he didn't care about anything, his position was at the front, only a few steps behind Li Chengqian. And with the exhalation just now, Li Yuanjia could clearly feel that Li Chengqian's shoulders seemed to be shortened all of a sudden, as if the energy he had been holding was instantly discharged.

"Tsk, poor baby."

Thinking through something in an instant, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and felt a trace of sympathy for his nephew.

was a good child, but he was ruined by Li Shimin and a few old stubborns.

Li Chengqian, who is only one year younger than Li Yuanjia, is only 18 years old this year...... Of course, Li Yuanjia also knew that eighteen years old was actually an adult in this era, and even Li Chengqian's son Li Xiang was so old! But when he thought that this young man was only eighteen years old, Li Yuanjia would still subconsciously treat him as a child.

And Li Yuanjia knows that this is still a child who is in a high-pressure state all the time!

Li Chengqian's mother, Empress Changsun, died just last year.

Losing his mother at the age of seventeen or eighteen was already a very painful thing, because Li Chengqian lost the only person who really cared about him. But for the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, the death of his mother was only the beginning of his whole painful life......

"Uncle Eleven, let's go back too."

Just when Li Yuanjia was looking down and thinking about his brainless second brother and Li Chengqian's unreliable teachers, a gentle voice suddenly came from the front.

Hurriedly looked up and saw that it was the crown prince Li Chengqian who spoke.

This is a young man with a delicate face and a little thin at the same time, and his skin is a little unnatural because he has not seen sunlight for many years. However, if you don't consider the name Li Chengqian, just talk about Li Yuanjia's visual impression, this is a gentle young man with a very gentle temperament.

Nodding subconsciously, Li Yuanjia smiled and said, "Hehe, it's okay...... Is His Highness planning to go back to the East Palace directly? Or ......"

As soon as he asked this sentence, he began to regret it.

Slightly stunned, Li Chengqian then smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Well, where else can you go if you don't go back to the East Palace?" ”

“…… Also. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Sun Peng couldn't help but sympathize with Li Chengqian's eyes when he looked at him.

In essence, he, the king of Han, is actually no different from an otaku in the past few years and now, in order not to make Li Shimin jealous, and also because there is really nothing fun in Luzhou, so Li Yuanjia basically stays in the house and doesn't go anywhere. And after returning to Chang'an, it was because of filial piety, basically the door was not out, and the second door was not stepped.

But in the final analysis, this is Li Yuanjia's own choice.

But the Royal Highness of the Crown Prince in front of him is different, because he really has nowhere to go except to go back to the East Palace!

It looks beautiful to be a prince, and he even has his own set of people in the East Palace, but except for when he is in charge of the country now, he does not have any power on weekdays, at most he can participate in politics. However, as the crown prince, Li Chengqian had to be subject to many constraints, such as not leaving the East Palace without permission, not having too much contact with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and so on.

So at this time, except to go back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian really has nowhere to go!

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh again, and thought in his heart: "Seventeen or eighteen-year-old children, without their own mother, are locked in a big cage by their cold-blooded father all day long, and they have to be tossed every day by a few teachers who regard outspoken advice as their vocation, and even give advice for the sake of advice, but after suffering for so long, they have to be forced by their younger brother to have nowhere to escape!" Li Shimin, Li Shimin, anyway, your father is really a failure! ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Yuanjia almost subconsciously spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Huh? What's wrong, Uncle Eleven? ”

Li Chengqian, who is still a good baby, was about to leave, and turned his head in surprise after hearing his voice.

"Uh, nothing...... Hehe. ”

After a pause, Li Yuanjia's eyebrows raised, and he waved his hand with a dry smile.

glanced at him a little strangely, Li Chengqian quickly didn't care, just smiled at him and said, "By the way, thank you Uncle Eleven for those pen, ink, paper and inkstone that gave me, I like it very much...... I didn't expect Uncle Eleven's family to be able to make white paper that was not inferior to the Li family's paper mill! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it, haha, if you don't have to say hello to me in the future, I'll let someone send it over again."

"Hehe, then thank Uncle Eleven in advance."

……

waited until the prince's dependence left, Li Yuanjia took a deep breath and secretly smiled bitterly - just now, a careless sympathetic attack, actually impulsively wanted to comfort Li Chengqian? Do you want to meet more in the future so that you can enlighten him?

Tsk, it's crazy!

"Cheap compassion, but absolutely unwanted!"

On the carriage back home, Li Yuanjia once again admonished himself.

He knew that he was using the moral outlook of the future to understand his nephew, especially when the impact of the death of Empress Eldest Sun had not completely changed Li Chengqian, it was easy for Li Yuanjia to sympathize with him now.

But......

After all, it is Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty!

Not to mention that it has been the eleventh year of Zhenguan, and there are only a few years left before Li Chengqian's own madness, just talking about Li Yuanjia's own identity, what reason is there to be so close to the prince? finally survived to this time, the emperor had obviously let down most of his guard, and he was looking for death by doing so?

Shaking his head vigorously in the carriage, as if to drive this absurd idea out of his mind, Li Yuanjia began to divert his attention: "The emperor has been going to Luoyang for at least half a year, and finally he doesn't have to get up before dawn every day...... Tsk, you have to find something for yourself to do, right? ”

Less than twenty-seven months of filial piety is over, he will definitely continue to keep a low profile, so what he can do is to stay honest in the palace.

The renovation of the new palace has come to an end, although things like glass, paper and movable type will continue to improve, but Li Yuanjia only needs to grasp the general direction, so Li Yuanjia has a lot of time in the next six months.

After pondering all the way, Li Yuanjia gradually had an idea......
