Chapter 44: Li Chengqian, who was pitted
Coming out of Li Tai's mansion, Li Chengqian smiled happily, as if he had eaten honey, and happily walked towards the East Palace, sitting in the carriage, looking at the huge Chang'an City because of the curfew.
When the carriage walked on the street, from time to time they could see Jin Wuwei passing by on night patrol, but they didn't come up to check when they saw Li Chengqian's carriage, after all, the eye-catching sign of the East Palace was there, and they didn't do it if they were given the courage.
At this time, because of Li Chengqian's early words, in Kong Yingda's mansion, several Confucian scholars and Kong Yingda were looking at the classics of Mencius and some commentaries of former sages and Confucians.
At first, they were still angry that Li Chengqian said that, so they gathered in Kong Yingda's mansion, trying to find strong evidence from those ancient books to fight back against Li Chengqian, but as they looked through more ancient classics, they gradually found that they might really be wrong, because there are many classics that point out that the sentence "The gentleman is far away from cooking" is a sentence that Mencius exhorted King Qi Xuan to practice benevolence, but it is a passing mention in many classics.
"Wrong, we are really wrong, we are not as good as a child's understanding of the Confucian classics, mistakenly believe the words of the predecessors, and do not introspect, I am ashamed of my ancestors" Kong Yingda looked through an ancient book dedicated to the annotation of Mencius's classics, and after finding the answer, he suddenly put down the book and sighed.
When the others saw Kong Yingda like this, they all reluctantly put down the ancient book in their hands, sat there, and didn't speak, but there are a few people who can understand that kind of depression.
And just when they were about to say goodbye, Kong Yingda stood up, "Since we are wrong, then we can't let Your Majesty punish the prince, the old man will enter the palace to face the saint, who of you is with the old man"
After speaking, everyone else should also enter the palace with Kong Yingda.
On the other side, the little fat man Li Tai sat in the study, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, "Big brother, there must be something wrong this time, and he specially explained that he can't see it, and it's very important, and he will take it to his father after the New Year, there must be something wrong here, no, I must take a look, what's inside"
Talking about the little fat man Li Tai, he quickly opened the box given by his eldest brother, and what was placed inside was the horseshoe, the Takahashi saddle and the bilateral horse pedals, at first glance, the little fat man didn't see what these things were, but he was smart, after seeing the instructions written by Li Chengqian, he understood everything, and he also knew the importance of the things inside.
"Big brother, you still say that you don't pit me, you want me to be the prince, there is no door, since you know that the prince's position is a pit, and you still want me to jump, someone will prepare a car for the king, and the king will enter the palace" Saying, Li Tai walked to the door and shouted, silently turned around and put the horseshoe back.
"Your Highness, it's already so late this day, it's not good to enter the palace at this time! Or go early tomorrow morning" The housekeeper saw Li Tai come out, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Li Tai not to enter the palace.
"It's late now, anyway, the eldest brother will leave in a few days, then I'm going tomorrow, and after a while, you will order someone to guard this place, and no one will be allowed to enter, if the things inside are lost, then they don't have to live" After the order, Li Taicai went into the study.
When Li Chengqian woke up the next morning, he immediately asked people to load the things he had collected and wanted to take to Luoyang.
"Your Highness, this matter is not so urgent!" Xia Ju looked at Li Chengqian, who came together and asked people to load the car quickly, and asked in a puzzled whisper.
"What do you mean by not being in a hurry, leaving Chang'an a day earlier, this king can rest assured one day earlier, you also hurry up to pack up your things, and when you are ready, you will set off immediately" Li Chengqian will not say to Xia Ju, although he has done a lot of things, but he himself knows that his things really have to be put on the table, it is really worthless, he is gambling now, betting on his father, because he is young, he will not take it seriously, otherwise all this is empty talk.
Although Li Chengqian knows his own shortcomings, but because of lack of time, he has not been able to change much, after all, he is a small restaurant owner in his previous life, compared with so many bigwigs who intrigue and engage in politics every day, he is not even a scumbag, he just relies on the explosive speed of information transmission in his previous life to see a little more, he dares to do this.
But he didn't want to study, after all, he was very tired of intrigue all day long, so he wanted to be an idle prince, tease dogs and walk birds every day, and eat delicious food, this is the life he wants.
But he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that something went wrong with his brother.
No, he just left Chang'an with people on his front feet, and even asked Zhang Gao to say goodbye to his wife, and Li Tai walked to the palace with the box he gave.
"Qingque, is there something wrong with you coming here in such a hurry?" As soon as Li Shimin left the court, he heard the guards tell his fourth son Li Tai that he had a major report, so he came over from the court.
"Father, it's like this, eldest brother ............ last night" Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Tai told him in detail what happened.
"What, there really is such a thing" After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai in shock.
"Yes, yes, but it's not really useful, and the sons don't know, after all, the sons haven't tried it, but when the eldest brother sent it, there were detailed drawings in it, and how to use it, father, let's try it, we won't know" Li Tai saw his father's gaffe for the first time, but this also proved his guess, the things in it are really important, and his eldest brother is pheating himself.
"What to try, someone will chase the prince back for me, and he will say that his punishment has been canceled, go quickly" After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin didn't think about it, and immediately called someone to chase Li Chengqian.
"Father, you said that the eldest brother is gone, this can't be done, he doesn't want to leave tomorrow!" Li Tai looked at Li Shimin blankly and asked puzzled.
"It's tomorrow, this stinky boy, even you have such an arrangement, he will leave tomorrow, he just wants to leave Chang'an with great fanfare now, and take the matter of his punishment seriously, so as to tell the world that he is a wrong prince, so he is making some mistakes, the position of the prince, I can't abolish it for him, after all, the mouth of the world can say that the dead are dead, especially your eldest brother knows, your father wants to be a Ming Jun, so this stain, I can't keep it, because the previous stain is already very big, so you understand" After speaking, Li Shimin looked at his fourth son.
"No, the eldest brother's calculation is so deep, then if I don't come, it won't be over" The smart Li Tai was said by Li Shimin, and immediately understood the reason.
"The fart is calculated, he is just some little tricks, he is making mistakes, and I don't plan to abolish his position as prince, I just want to let him go out to play for two years, but this thing is too important, so I have to chase him back, and he miscalculated one thing, I am a king, in the face of absolute interests, those stains are not a thing.
Now that I hear this, do you regret it, after all, if you don't take these things out now, according to your eldest brother's arrangement, you will be the crown prince in a year, and you will be able to inherit my throne in the future" After speaking, Li Shimin looked at the son in front of him who he liked very much and asked.
"Regret, no, Dad, don't look at me small, but in this more than a month, I can see clearly, what prince to be, what emperor is not what I want at all, what I want is a home that can love me" Li Tai shook his head resolutely, he did not regret it, because from the day he was beaten by Li Chengqian, he found that his father and queen mother had changed, and they became the same as the parents he wanted, they were not the emperor and queen who were high above, but his parents, although they were also before, but that sense of distance, He doesn't like it very much, and even makes him afraid, but he wants to show it to get their attention.
"I hope you can always be like this, don't regret everything today, and now accompany me to see if these things that your eldest brother gave you are really effective" Saying that, Li Shimin patted Li Tai's head and pulled him out of the Taiji Hall together.
