Chapter Seventy-One: Li Shimin's Transformation

The rooster crowed three times and Li Chengqian woke up, he really didn't sleep well this night, and he didn't want to continue to lie in bed, so he got up after calling the old ghost.

With the assistance of the old ghost, Li Chengqian had just washed the se, and the family surnamed Zhang sent a sumptuous breakfast, and Li Chengqian had not had a good rest since yesterday, and he was not uncomfortable, so he said to the old ghost: "The lonely king can't eat at this time, you can eat these things, and when we leave, we will bring the owner of this family to see the lonely king."

We had to pay for everything we needed when we lived in someone's house, and we also gave two carp to their family to eat as a token of gratitude to the lonely king. ”

The old ghost wrote them down one by one, hurriedly brought out the food and distributed it to the guards outside, and hurriedly escorted Li Chengqian back to the East Palace after everything was arranged

Back in Chang'an City, the old ghost wanted to follow Li Chengqian back to the East Palace but was stopped by Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong rode on the horse and bowed to the old ghost, and then said as he walked forward: "Bai Neishi, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally roasted the carp last night, but the total fish caught last night was tens of thousands of catties, according to the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Prince, most of them were to be transported to the Great Wall to sell, save some money for those disaster victims, buy some farm tools in the spring, and reclaim a new piece of land, so that he will also have arable land." ”

"Hmm!" The old ghost rode a horse with his eyes on Li Chengqian's carriage, and he didn't know what Xu Jingzong was doing when he told him.

"Bai Nei, you think, those victims just eat some carp, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally be fine."

"Of course." The old ghost said proudly.

Xu Jingzong couldn't help but be interrupted by the old ghost before he finished speaking, but listening to the old ghost's tone, he also understood that the old ghost admired Li Chengqian very much, and hurriedly continued: "But if you take Chang'an East City to sell, I'm afraid it will still be a little troublesome." ”

"Don't bother, let's go and talk to His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give an order." The old ghost said very casually, in his eyes, there was nothing in the world that Li Chengqian couldn't do.

"Bai Nei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has worked hard all night, how can I trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now? Besides, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince orders it, His Majesty must know about this matter, otherwise His Majesty will think about it more. Xu Jingzong hurriedly reached out and grabbed the reins of the old ghost's horse.

"Ouch! What can I do? The old ghost turned to look at Xu Jingzong, frowning and waiting for Xu Jingzong to come up with an idea.

"Bai Nei Shi don't have to worry, I thought of a way, taking advantage of today's early ninth Taiji Hall to have a court meeting, you represent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to offer His Majesty a few carp, and then talk about His Royal Highness the Prince's personal ice-breaking fishing in Bashui at the court meeting, and let the officials know that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a benevolent and virtuous king with the people of the world in mind.

Bai Nei said that you said this in the main hall, that is, there is a big event in the sky, and His Majesty has to rely on His Royal Highness the Prince, not to mention just a few small fish?"

"Oh yes!" The old ghost looked at Xu Jingzong with a smile and said: "Master Xu, you are really not simple, our family can't think of these things, our family will go and talk to His Royal Highness the Prince, and then go to offer fish to His Majesty." The old ghost said and went to chase Li Chengqian's carriage.

When he ran to Li Chengqian's car, he didn't forget to turn around and said, "You can prepare a few big and happy fish for our family!" ”

Xu Jingzong hurriedly bowed his hand to him and said, "Don't worry. "Obviously, Xu Jingzong was playing with this idea yesterday.

When Bai Zhou saw Li Chengqian, he was really tired, so he just said that he would go to His Majesty to sacrifice a few big fish to make His Majesty happy.

Today, the atmosphere in the Taiji Hall is very depressing, Chang'an City is short of food and may be involved in rebellion, Li Shimin is in a bad mood, and the officials of Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province do not dare to talk about ordinary trivial matters in Chaoyigong.

There were few things to discuss at the court meeting, and at the end of the meeting, Zhou Zhaosheng, the general of the left prison guard, was extremely reluctant to go out and played: "Your Majesty, yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drove straight into the Taiji Gate, and ran all the way to the Liangyi Palace, please show your Majesty." ”

Someone breaking into the palace is a big disrespectful crime and must be reported, but the person who broke into the palace is the crown prince, so the prison guards will be embarrassed, and the prince will just be reprimanded for a few words, but they will be held by the prince to hold a grudge, and if they don't report it, it will be a thunder to be found out.

There is a tradition for the crown prince to break into the palace gate, when Han Jing was still the crown prince, he had broken through the Sima Gate, and was stopped by the minister Zhang Shizhi from entering the palace, Emperor Wen of Han personally took off his hat to apologize, but he did not do anything to Emperor Han Jing.

So Zhou Zhaosheng just said that he asked His Majesty to show it, and he didn't even dare to mention anything else.

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, thinking that Li Chengqian still had merit in yesterday's incident, and Li Chengqian did not come to the court today, so it was useless to give an order to reprimand.

When I was thinking about how to perfunctory the past, I listened to the following little imperial history who didn't open his eyes and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, the palace is strictly forbidden, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dares to be so childish, it can be seen how arrogant and domineering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on weekdays, please Your Majesty order that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be grounded in the East Palace, and the masters will strictly teach it." ”

Man Chaowen was shocked when he heard this, who would dare to convict the prince of such a serious crime with such a trivial matter?

Li Shimin also looked at the little old man in front of him who was over half a hundred years old with fire in his eyes, Li Shimin didn't believe that such a petty official as him dared to target the prince.

Li Shimin didn't say anything for a long time, and the needle drop could be heard quietly in the hall.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to offer four fresh carp." A small chamberlain entered the temple to report.

"Xuan!"

Li Shimin didn't want to think about it.

Bai Zhou led two small chamberlains carrying a large basin into the Taiji Hall and saluted Li Shimin.

"What does it mean that the prince does not come to the court, but he offers carp?" Li Shimin asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, these four carps were personally commanded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night to break the ice on the Bashui River and catch them, and they were specially dedicated to His Majesty to make soup with the four tails." The old ghost said calmly.

"What?" Li Shimin thought that he had misheard, and Li Chengqian offered carp to make soup for him.

"Your Majesty is like this......"

The old ghost vividly told Li Chengqian about fishing with the victims in the main hall, and the old ghost couldn't help but burst into tears when it came to the touching place.

Li Shimin couldn't stop sighing when he heard it, he really didn't expect that Li Chengqian really went to help the victims find food, and let him find it.

Since Li Chengqian was lame, he felt that it was an eyesore every time he saw Li Chengqian, but he couldn't put his mind to deal with Li Chengqian, so he was so consumed.

Although Li Shimin's talent has been impressed by Li Chengqian's talent these days, Li Shimin always feels uneasy when he thinks about handing over his hard work to Li Chengqian.

But today, after listening to Bai Zhou in this hall saying that Li Chengqian led people to fish, Li Shimin felt that he could really rest assured that he would be able to hand over the Tang Dynasty to Li Chengqian after long live.

What have I done to Cheng Qian over the years......

Li Shimin thought about it and blamed himself deeply.

Cheng Qian's foot is injured and he can't fight, and there is nothing I can fight.

Li Shimin once again secretly determined to bring down all the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty to Li Chengqian in his lifetime.

The hundreds of officials in the main hall also have mixed tastes in their hearts, and the crown prince wants to cut his own flesh for the victims to eat in order to help the victims, so what is it to eat carp?

After Bai Zhou finished speaking, no one in the hall raised objections to Li Chengqian taking the lead in eating carp, and everyone felt that this was right.

"Please give your Majesty permission to sell carp in the East Market!" Bai Zhou saw that Li Shimin had been pondering, so he had to bite the bullet.

"Quasi, quasi, quasi, the people of Chang'an City eat carp, and I will make soup for these carps today, and I want to eat them." As soon as Li Shimin woke up, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Just now I said that Cheng Qian entered the palace by car, and the prospective prince will enter the palace by car in the future." Li Shimin hates to cut his own flesh for Li Chengqian to eat at this time.

Most of the ministers in Li Shimin's mouth change hall are happy to see it, but there are a few who are not obvious on the surface, but they are like mourning in their hearts.
