Chapter 434: Li Xiaochang's Embarrassing Situation (Fourth Update)
The next day, Li Chengqian had never slept so comfortably, and he was indeed tired during this period of time.
But before he could sleep soundly, someone came looking for him.
It was Guan Lux who said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is invited to the Taiji Palace!"
Li Shimin was in such a hurry to find Li Chengqian, and something big happened.
"I know, this king will go."
So Li Chengqian got up and prepared to leave for Taiji Palace.
He walked out of the East Palace, on the left was Xue Rengui who was holding Fang Tian's halberd, and on the right was Su Lie, who was using a sharp sword, and the two followed closely, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
Bringing these two is much more pompous than bringing an army.
Li Chengqian didn't see anyone else, and only took two people there.
At this time, people in the palace began to talk about it.
For Xue Rengui, everyone is already familiar with it, but for Su Lie, everyone is not very familiar with it.
But among these people, there was a hunt yesterday.
"Su Lie, it turned out to be Su Lie, so spirited, yesterday I tried to pull out a tree with Xue Rengui and General Cheng, and I won the first place."
"What! What did you say? Uprooting trees? also defeated Xue Rengui and General Cheng? Sky! It's amazing! ”
"I think what's even more powerful is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he actually let these two people follow him with all their hearts!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your Majesty once asked Xue Rengui for it, but he couldn't get it. Later, he asked for Su Lie, but he still failed in the end. ”
"Your Majesty's dignitaries have failed even ......"
"It's their loyalty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Terrible!"
……
Li Chengqian and the others heard people's discussions, but they didn't pay attention to them, but just walked their own ways.
Because at this time, Li Shimin was already waiting and anxious.
Soon, the three of them were outside the palace.
"You two are waiting here! Don't go anywhere! ”
"Yes!"
The two answered.
After the explanation, Li Chengqian entered the palace.
At this time, the civil and military officials were discussing something.
And when Li Chengqian arrived, everyone also quieted down.
Li Chengqian saluted Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
"The son has seen His Majesty and the Queen Mother."
Ministers: "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Li Shimin: "No need to be polite! ”
Then Li Chengqian asked: "I don't know why Your Majesty invited your sons over?" ”
He glanced around, but he didn't see Li Xiaochang in this column, generally he is a five-grade civil official, and he is going to come to the court, why don't you see him coming? There were some doubts in his heart, he didn't know how embarrassing it would be when people talked about Li Xiaochang for a while.
Li Shimin said: "This matter, let's let Ruyan say it!" ”
Li Shimin's performance is strange, he doesn't seem to want to say it, or he is embarrassed to say it.
From the expressions of the ministers, you can probably get a glimpse of one or two.
Du Ruhui was helpless, so he had to come out and say: "Yes!" ”
Then he said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this morning, Li Xiaochang accidentally fell into the toilet when he went to the toilet...... Almost...... almost suffocated inside, if someone in the palace hadn't saved him, I'm afraid there would be one less official in the court. ”
Li Xiaochang is also a person with great merit no matter how he says it, Li Shimin did not hurt the killer from yesterday's performance, probably to give him a chance, and there is no evidence to prove that he participated in the killing of the prince.
When Du Ruhui said this, he didn't laugh out loud, and he had to maintain a natural expression, but what he showed was a strange demeanor, which made people laugh.
At the same time, the ministers were also hiding their faces and snickering, because they couldn't help it.
How old is this person, who still fell into the toilet, and still needs someone to save him?
I'm ashamed of him.
This can be regarded as evil and evil retribution, Li Xiaochang fell into the toilet and was filthy, but it can really be passed down through the ages.
Only then did Li Chengqian know that it was such an unelegant thing, so Li Shimin didn't say it, but it was understandable.
This reminded Li Chengqian of a sentence in "Zuo Chuan" that recorded the death of Jin Jinggong: "Eat, rise, go to the toilet, and die."
He is the only emperor in history to fall into the toilet and die.
There is a legend about this phrase. Once, Jin Jinggong fell ill and had a nightmare. Wake up and call a fortune teller to ask. This fortune teller was probably tired of life, so he told Jin Jinggong that he would not live to eat new wheat. When Jin Jinggong heard this, he was not happy.
When the new wheat was harvested, he summoned the fortune teller and said, "Didn't you say that I would not live to eat the new wheat?" But. You can't be sure, I'm going to take your life first. So he killed the fortune teller. Jin Jinggong was about to eat with a bowl, and felt a little bloated, so he went to the toilet, but fell into the dung pit - so he choked to death with feces.
This situation also happened from time to time in modern rural areas, and it was only after the construction of new toilets that it became less common.
But then again, this is a testament to the awkward situation of the ancient toilet.
In ancient times, it was risky to go to the toilet, because the safety factor was not high, and it was possible to fall into it at any time, just like Li Xiaochang.
It can be imagined that Li Xiaochang is probably vomiting at this time, right?
The picture is really strong, and I want to humiliate him when I turn around.
In the Tang Dynasty, only the rich people had toilets, and qiong ren went to the field to solve them, as for the court, the toilets were not repaired, but instead of the gong bucket, Li Shimin did not have this kind of trouble.
And here is an even more embarrassing thing, that is, the ancient wiping of the buttocks used a kind of sovereign spoon, the toilet chip is a very smooth cut piece of bamboo, commonly known as a shit-stirring stick.
And the use of toilet chips is not a one-time Oh, wash it after use, soak it in salt water, and use it again when you go to the toilet next time.
At this point, you may already have a picture.
So Li Shimin called him over today, maybe it was because of this incident.
He had already laughed Li Xiaochang thousands of times in his heart, but he was more tolerant and able to perform than Du Ruhui.
He feigned sympathy.
"That's a shame."
Looking back, he has to be ashamed of Li Xiaochang, he doesn't eat good things, but he has to go to the toilet to eat, which will definitely make him angry.
"But no, I have hundreds of civil and military officials in Datang, and it is not good for this kind of thing to happen. In order to prevent this from happening in the future, someone suggested that you come up with a plan to resolve such an embarrassing situation. ”
Li Shimin finally said his true purpose, which was to let him solve this problem.
This kind of problem, for Li Chengqian, is simply not too easy, it is nothing more than a toilet revolution.
He has a thousand ways to deal with the toilet, and I'm afraid that the ancients will not accept it.
