Chapter 21: Li Jingxuan
"Yes!" Li Chengqian admitted without hesitation, "But I believe in him, although I have only known him for a short time, I believe that the other party is not a treacherous person, and his archery skills are good, and he can wear five armors." β
"The art of war is also extraordinary, and he is a rare general! There are only a handful of people who can compare with my Datang! β
"Please also ask my father to grant permission!" After Li Chengqian said that, he knelt on the ground, his forehead was close to the ground, and his attitude was very resolute.
It was the first time Li Er saw his crown prince respect a person so much, Li Er is a person who loves talents, if this person is really as powerful as Li Chengqian said, it is not impossible to stay in the East Palace.
Even if it was compensation for the assassination of the crown prince, after all, if Cheng Qian had bitten to the death, it would not have been Wei Ting's own resistance.
There may even be a possibility that he will be implicated, the prince made concessions at the beginning, and he is not good at doing more to block this.
Left and right are just an internal rate, give it and give it, it's not a big deal.
Li Chengqian also valued this point, so he dared to so unscrupulously promote Xue Rengui to the position of the left and right internal rate and the internal rate of the government.
Li Chengqian also understood that even if Li Er could finally agree, he would not allow a person from the grassroots to be the chief official of the two guards of the East Palace.
As long as he can win the position of the chief officer of the first guard, it will be enough, and he can make other arrangements, and he is not afraid that the two guards will not die for him in the future.
"Since Cheng Qian, you insist on making this Xue Rengui the left and right internal rate of the East Palace, I will depend on you, but Xue Rengui can only become the internal rate of the first guard, and as for which one guard, you are the one who decides." Li Erdao.
"Thank you, Father! Let Xue Rengui be my prince's right internal rate! Li Chengqian raised his head and said.
"So decide! Cheng Qian, you are not afraid that the right internal rate will not be accepted? Li Erdao.
"Convincing or not! This has nothing to do with me, Xue Rengui is the right internal rate, if he can't even clean up his subordinates, what else do you want him to do? I don't raise idlers in the East Palace. Li Chengqian said.
"The will to appoint Xue Rengui will send someone to the East Palace to issue an edict." Li Erdao.
"Thank you, Father! If nothing happens! The retainers retired. Li Chengqian said.
"What? So reluctant to stay with my brother? Li Er quipped, there is nothing important today, and Li Er hasn't had a good chat with Li Chengqian for a long time.
"I'm not afraid of disturbing my father's handling of government affairs! What's more, I still have some things to ask my master for. Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian and Li Er's relationship is a little estranged, and he is afraid that if he stays and talks about family affairs, it will be easy to enter a situation of awkward conversation, not to mention, he is now in a hurry to tell Xue Rengui about the appointment of Xue Rengui, and explain it by the way.
"Recently, the palace wants to recruit some good family girls to enrich the harem, you are the prince, but there is only one princess in the harem, it is a little shabby, you can choose a few good family girls in this batch to stay by your side." Li Erdao.
Li Er felt that Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, had only one princess in the harem, and it was a little unreasonable that he had already had three wives and four concubines before he became the emperor.
Considering his son's happy life in the future, he should also choose a few young and beautiful women to fill the harem for him, and spread out for the royal family.
It just so happens that there are a few good ones in the list this time, especially the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling, I heard that she is beautiful and intelligent, and she just happens to be good for Cheng Qian.
When Li Er was choosing a concubine for Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would still have an arranged marriage.
Li Chengqian knew in his heart that in ancient times, the marriage system has always been the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker! Personal opinions are never taken seriously or even ignored.
As the crown prince, this marriage event is even more difficult to make your own decisions, this is a national event, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it.
This was not a simple marriage, but more of a political transaction, and the nobles obtained more political capital through intermarriage with the royal family.
"Father! Erchen has no plans to set up a concubine now, not to mention, the crown princess Su is already very good, and the two of us still need to cultivate more feelings. Li Chengqian said, his heart still resists such a marriage.
"Let's not talk about this for now! When the time comes, you can choose for yourself, and I believe you will like it. Li Er patted Li Chengqian's shoulder and said.
Li Er believes that as long as the beautiful woman is sent to Li Chengqian, there is no reason not to be moved, after all, he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is from here.
Looking at Li Er's posture, Li Chengqian knew that his resistance was meaningless.
"Then, the son won't bother his father!" Li Chengqian saluted Li Er.
Li Er nodded and said, "It's okay!" You go back and prepare first, and tell the crown princess about it, but she is also your wife, and there is no need to hide the matter of the concubine from her. β
"That's right! I haven't seen Li Xiang and Li Ju for some time, so bring them when you have time and let me, my grandfather, take a good look. β
"As the father of the child, you should care more about these two children, and don't be so angry."
Li Chengqian nodded, he really hadn't seen these two children for a long time, and his father was too incompetent in front of him.
When Li Chengqian left the main hall, he returned directly to the East Palace, but met a group of young officials on the way.
Li Chengqian said to Wang Quan: "Go and ask what these officials do?" Because of what entered the palace. β
Wang Quan received the order, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the officials who were leading the way in front, and the two of them exchanged words in each other's ears, and Wang Quan also pointed to Li Chengqian's side from time to time.
The officials of the Ministry looked at Li Chengqian, and then came to Li Chengqian with Wang Quan.
"Du Chun, a member of the Ministry of Ministers, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Du Chun bowed to Li Chengqian.
"What kind of officials are these? Is this going to be taken to the ministry? Li Chengqian said.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince! Some of these people were officials recommended to the imperial court by local governors, as well as officials recommended by ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as military attachΓ©s who had been fighting abroad and were transferred back to Beijing for promotion evaluation. β
"Among them, there is a person recommended by Ma Changshi to His Majesty, and the minister is about to bring this person to His Majesty." Du Chundao.
"Ma Changshi? But Shi Ma Zhou, the secretary of the imperial history, the doctor who advised, and the head of the Jin Dynasty's mansion Shi Ma Zhou? Li Chengqian said.
"Exactly!" Du Chundao.
Ma Zhou, a native of Chiping, Qinghe, the prime minister of the Tang Taizong period, was promoted to the imperial history of the secretary in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, and also served as the doctor of the Zhizhi Doctor, and also inspected the history of the Jin Wangfu.
Li Chengqian remembered that Ma Zhou had recommended the prime minister of the Tang Gaozong period, and Li Jingxuan, who had just become the prince's attendant, entered the Chongxian Pavilion.
Could the person recommended by Ma Zhou be Li Jingxuan?
"Is there a roster? Take a look at it! Li Chengqian thought of this, and thought that he would first see if the person recommended by Ma Zhou was Li Jingxuan.
The Ministry of Officials has a roster of officials, on which information such as the origin, name, and position of the officials is registered.
