Chapter 134: Night Talk in the East Palace
The people of the family looked at such a mud leg in the limelight, and their brows were knotted. can only sit with their heads bored, before Li Shimin did not indulge, the etiquette officials did not allow them to have the slightest rudeness, when to eat food, when to drink, when to say nice congratulatory words, there are rules.
Li Yuan also came, this kind of opportunity to put on a show, their father and son will not let go. When the old man saw the emperor, he immediately knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
Back then, their brother was not Mu Li Shimin's name, but Mu Li Yuan's name before joining the army, but in the end, it was too tragic, all nine people died, and there was no chance to get ahead, could he not cry when he saw Li Yuan?
Li Yuan is also an old man with tears in his eyes, he has been abandoned by the times, and now he is just a prop, and he was taken out by Li Shimin for a show in the background, so there are still people crying at him like this?
The old man was helped down, and the joy and sorrow were so sad that he drank wine again, and there was an attendant who would take care of him.
Cai Cong was complimented by a group of people, and the praise was about to go to the sky, and the limelight directly overshadowed King Yue and Li Chengqian.
The ministers talked about their merits to Cai Cong, a hymn to the people, and they did not hesitate to write the protagonist as Cai Cong.
At the beginning, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were still smiling, after all, Cai Cong is the protagonist today. As there were only a few kittens around them, and Cai Cong was singing and laughing around them, they were a little unhappy, and they were smiling reluctantly.
Sister Cai entered the palace twice, the first time she was humiliated and didn't dare to look at Chang'an, but this time she became a nobleman in the limelight, all the noblewomen circled around her, and the nice words were a dozen and a dozen listens, and her eyes narrowed when she was comfortable.
The grand palace banquet came to an end, Cai Cong stayed in the East Palace overnight, and the three children lay side by side on the bed without saying anything.
Cai Cong turned over and hit Li Chengqian with his elbow, and asked, "Aren't you usually very talkative?" Why is it so quiet tonight? ”
"Nope! Don't want to talk tonight. Li Chengqian shrank into the quilt, buried his head in it, and said depressedly.
"Is it because the officials are surrounding me tonight? Do you think it's shameless? Cai Cong stood up and asked with a smile.
"Originally, there was a little, but when my father said that this was a conspiracy and wanted us to fall out with you, we didn't think so."
Li Chengqian stretched out his head and said, Li Tai nodded, and also looked at Cai Cong.
"So what's wrong with you? It was as if they had been beaten. ”
"Well, I just think we're useless. As a prince, I don't know anything, and Li Tai is the same, he followed you to defeat the sores this time, and he didn't do anything himself. ”
Li Chengqian said aggrievedly that he had never done anything brilliant as a prince. Look at the thing Cai Cong did again, isn't it a big thing that makes people look at it?
"That's it? Get up. Cai Cong patted the two of them and asked them to sit up.
"You were born to be rulers, ruling over rivers and rivers, and the prime minister died for the rest of the world. But that's in the future, and all you have to do is grow up and take over this country from your fathers in the future.
And I'm different, my poor family can't even eat bran, if I don't work hard, don't do these things, I don't even have the opportunity to be friends with you today, I was completely forced by fate to get to today. ”
Cai Cong said with emotion, being a commoner in feudal society, life is not guaranteed, natural disasters and man-made disasters, class oppression can destroy a happy family at any time, so he wants to be an aristocratic class.
"We all know what you said, but we want to do something on our own, not on the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the name of Li Tai, the king of Yue, to sit back and enjoy it."
Understood, this is the sensitive self-esteem of young people, they are all the pride of the sky, why are they not as good as Cai Cong? If you let it go, you can be as vigorous as Cai Cong.
"So what do you want to do?"
"I don't know!" The two of them said in unison, they knew that as long as they spoke, Cai Cong would definitely help, but they didn't want Cai Cong to help, and wanted to do something on their own.
"Then think about it! Anyway, as long as you think about the people, it's basically good. I don't care about anything when I go back this time, first give yourself a sigh of relief, you don't know, my mother is ruthless this time, dozens of corpses hanging at the entrance of the village is my mother's order, she was really scared this time. ”
"Your mother is so brave, you don't care, so what do you do?" Li Tai said with admiration, Sister Cai'er's actions reminded him of the eldest grandson, when the Xuanwumen mutiny, Li Jiancheng sent people to Tiance Mansion, and it was the eldest grandson who ordered the mansion to raise his weapon to kill those people, and insisted until the rescuers came.
"I don't know, accompany my mother to enjoy the mountains and rivers, now that life is worry-free, it's time for my mother to enjoy life."
"yes...... I want to go with you too, but we're going to make a difference......"
"Well, you guys are trying to ......"
The three of them fell asleep in a daze at the end, they were all busy all day, they were already sleepy, there was no match, and in the end they didn't know what they said.
Cai Cong went home early the next day, and Li Chengqian applied to Li Shimin that he wanted to study in Shangshu Province, and Li Shimin was overjoyed and ordered Li Chengqian to go to Shangshu Province to walk, where he could listen and ask, but he could not interfere in politics.
Although Li Tai is the assassin of so many states, he is only nine years old, and Li Shimin will not let him take care of political affairs at all, so he can only listen, watch, and ask, and everything is the subordinate officials in the palace who are in charge.
It didn't take long for one to have a reputation for loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, while the other was named a father of Yingguo, and for a while the two became famous, but Cai Cong was low-key and forgotten.
Cai's subordinates were packing their luggage, and Mrs. said that she was going to Dolin Temple to make a vow, oh my God, I heard that it was far, far away, and the old marquis said that he couldn't go. The little marquis has to accompany him, so he needs to bring a lot of things.
"Although the temple is small and dilapidated, you can't take the masters lightly wherever you go. When your mother gave birth to you, there was not even a stutter at home, and the suffering master of Dolin Temple passed by and gave you and your mother all the food he had obtained from his fate, and he ate two mouthfuls of your family's water and left. ”
Cai Cong doesn't like monks and Taoists, this old man is clear, worship a wooden clay sculpture, who have seen many blessings? So Cai Cong was very unhappy when he saw a cart of offerings, sesame oil, and cloth, but Sister Cai was happy, and he didn't say anything.
The old man said very quietly, now he is enough for everything, and it doesn't matter if he gives more or less. Sun Sun not only became a marquis, but also asked him for a marquis, the ancestors have a generation and a generation, who can be as beautiful as him?
Hearing the old man's words, Cai Cong's face became good-looking, and the kindness of living must be repaid. He guessed that Sister Cai had been thinking about it for a long time since she made a fortune, and it was rare that Cai Cong had time to accompany her.
"Put five ginseng sticks from Liaodong into it." Cai Cong stood up and said to Wei Guo, Sister Cai looked at her son with surprise and joy, the ginseng from Liaodong, in addition to the one sent to the palace, Cai Cong sent a few old gentlemen and Qin Shubao. It is said that it is a treasure that hangs his life, and he has to keep it for his own use, and no one from outsiders gives it, and now he is willing to give it to the great monk of Dolin Temple, which is too unexpected.
"Son......
"Don't call me son, it turns out that your son is the kind of person who doesn't repay his kindness, but I am the one who knows how to repay his kindness." Cai Cong pretended to be angry and said that Sister Cai had already known his routine, and went to sort out her own affairs with a smile.
"Old man, are you really not going? Now that life is worry-free, it is a good time to visit the mountains and rivers! Cai Cong squatted beside the old man, shaking his legs without a trace of the majesty of the marquis.
