Chapter 172: Break into the Two Rites Hall Again
"Xiaoqing, 'Sister and slow, if you are seen by the mountain god, how about it?'
Bai Suzhen: 'Virtuous sister! As long as you get the fairy grass for your sister, you can say that it is the god who guards the mountain, and it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and I can't take care of it for my sister! β
β¦β¦
The crown princess Su Shi watched this "The Legend of the White Snake" and said to Li Chengqian with tears in her eyes: "This Bai Suzhen is really a heroine, she is willing to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire for her husband, but the concubine can't even do a little thing......"
Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly stretched out his hand to stroke her hand and said, "Concubine Ai doesn't have to blame herself, her father's move can only be ugly." β
"Ahh The crown princess looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.
"Concubine Ai, please think about it, my Naliangdi is just a trivial matter, but my father deliberately dragged it out and did not approve it, what will the government and the opposition think of him" Li Chengqian directly pointed out this.
The crown princess thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "It also makes sense, it is recorded in the "Historical Records" that the prince of Wei of the Warring States personally set up a car to invite the eunuch of Yimen to win the banquet.
In order to repay the kindness of Wei Gongzi, Hou Ying deliberately invited Wei Gongzi to go to the city to meet his friend Zhu Hai, the butcher. Hou Ying stood in the downtown and talked with Zhu Hai for a long time, and Wei Gongzi stood in the car and let the passers-by watch and discuss, so he was more respected by the world.
But this is the truth."
Li Chengqian listened to her very reasonable, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and praised: "Concubine Ai is really knowledgeable. β
The crown princess lay in Li Chengqian's arms, bowed her head and said with a smile: "Even so, it's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is suffering, and the concubine chose two beauties for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, and she will send them to the Lizheng Palace tonight, please pamper His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this, and was about to say something, when he heard the old ghost come in and say, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Qiu Shenji is in the Lizheng Palace, please see you." β
When the crown princess heard this, she hurriedly got up and said, "His Royal Highness the crown prince, if you have something to do, go quickly." β
Li Chengqian knew that Qiu Shenji specially asked to see Bu Ding and had urgent matters, because he usually reported things in the morning and evening. Then he also got up and said, "Concubine Ai will continue to watch the play, I'll go to the front to take a look." β
Recently, the crown princess reacted strongly during pregnancy, and Li Chengqian couldn't help much, so he asked the worshippers in the Eight Winds Hall to sing for her every day.
This "The Legend of the White Snake" was originally used to deal with Buddhism, but before it was publicly performed in Chang'an, the Buddhist forces in Chang'an City served Li Chengqian, so Li Chengqian first let them audition in the East Palace to prepare and then polish and polish, hoping to make a sensation in the world when they were publicly performed.
When Li Chengqian came to the Lizheng Palace, Qiu Shenji was waiting for him at the door, and when he saw Li Chengqian coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Li Chengqian waved his hand as he walked, "No need to be polite, if there is anything urgent, you can say it." β
Although Qiu Shenji still saluted when he heard this, he didn't wait for Li Chengqian to sit down, and said directly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has just ordered Princess Xinxing to marry Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan." β
When Li Chengqian heard this, his buttocks had just touched the seat, as if he had been burned by fire, and he suddenly stood up straight again, staring at Qiu Shenji with a wooden face, and only after a while did he grit his teeth and say, "Didn't those gang kill people to be extremely admonished?"
When Qiu Shenji heard this, he said, "Several generals tried their best to discourage it, but today all the scholars also support His Majesty's peaceful move, so ......"
"What" Li Chengqian had an urge to vomit blood, during this time, because of the constant conflicts between Li Chengqian and the Buddhists and the eldest grandson Wuji, many major events in the imperial court were delayed.
Now that Li Shimin has dealt with the eldest grandson Wuji and others, Li Chengqian has never rebelled, so he still believes in Zhu Suiliang, Ma Zhou and others, although he did not promote Zhu Suiliang, but he will still be allowed to participate in the meeting if there is anything.
Because Zhu Suiliang was absolutely loyal to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian also respected him, many officials thought that what he said could represent Li Chengqian.
Only Li Chengqian knew that Zhu Suiliang was much more difficult to use than Yang Shidao, but Li Chengqian could not explain to the outside world that Zhu Suiliang could not represent him.
Li Shimin doesn't want to see Li Chengqian now, and he doesn't discuss anything with him, and his interests are sometimes defended by Zhu Suiliang, Gao Jifu and others. However, Li Chengqian's political views are quite different from each other in some respects.
This situation made Li Chengqian cry and laugh.
Li Chengqian thought that the decree had been made, and the matter could not be resolved for a while, so he had to wait for Qi Bihe to return to the court and personally advise Li Shimin.
He took a deep breath and sat down slowly, thinking about handling the affairs of Chang'an as soon as possible, and then preparing to go to the north in person.
Qiu Shenji saw Li Chengqian sit down and continued: "Today, Gao Jifu, Laiji, and Han Ming, the three middle scholars, wrote to impeach Cheng Shangshu for deliberately raising grain prices, causing difficulties for the people of Chang'an, please order the Ministry of Civil Affairs to reduce grain prices as soon as possible." β
"Has Your Majesty decreed?"
"Your Majesty has not issued an edict yet, but Your Majesty has already summoned someone to the Liangyi Hall to discuss this matter." Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, stood up and looked ahead, and said, "It seems that the lonely king has to break into the Liangyi Hall again, and set up the Liangyi Palace!" β
Li Chengqian didn't want to see Li Shimin very much at this time, since the crossing his relationship with Li Shimin has gone through three stages, when he first crossed over, Li Shimin only paid attention to Li Chengqian on the surface, but in fact, he was basically laissez-faire, just waiting for Li Chengqian to make a big mistake and drive him out of the East Palace.
Later, Li Chengqian was recognized by Li Shimin in the disaster relief, and Li Shimin wanted to give him another chance, changed his attitude towards him, and tried to reconcile the contradictions between Li Chengqian and Li Tai.
However, Li Tai was comprehensively suppressed by Li Chengqian, and found that Li Shimin had changed his attitude, knowing that if he did not rebel, he would be a dead end, and there would be a glimmer of life, so Li Tai rebelled.
After Li Tai's rebellion, the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian entered the honeymoon period, and at this time, Li Shimin really wanted to teach Li Chengqian how to be an emperor.
In order to stabilize Li Chengqian's position and set him up on the throne in the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian said that he wanted to learn government affairs, so he sent the eldest grandson Wuji to the East Palace and allowed him to set up the Pingzhang Courtyard in the East Palace.
But soon Li Shimin found that Li Chengqian was out of his control, one wanted to continue to control the other party, and the other was bent on handling government affairs according to his own method, and a cold war began.
Now is the freezing point of this Cold War, although Li Chengqian has never rebelled, especially after he has the strength to rebel, he still has not rebelled, which makes Li Shimin have nothing to say.
Therefore, Li Shimin finally chose to stand on Li Chengqian's side and completely defeated the party of Changsun Wuji, and the two of them were temporarily fine.
However, Li Shimin still could not accept Li Chengqian's current style of acting, and Li Chengqian would not forget that Li Shimin almost abolished him without a valid reason.
Now the relationship between the two is in a very delicate stage, and in the end there are only three results, one is that Li Shimin compromised first, and Li Chengqian created a prosperous Tang Dynasty with the help of Li Shimin; The second is that Li Chengqian compromised, like other traversers, no matter what identity he crossed into, he finally became an eight-sided and exquisite eunuch around the emperor, trying to change the Tang Dynasty with modern technology; Third, neither side will compromise, and the consequences of the final rush will be unpredictable for both sides......
Li Chengqian sat on his chariot and looked at the scenery in the Taiji Palace, thinking about these things, and unconsciously came to the front of the Liangyi Palace.
Li Chengqian walked down the chariot and looked up to see the long white marble steps leading to the high Dan Majesty, and there were dozens of pairs of guards with bright armor standing with halberds along the way, making this road so majestic and serious.
Of course, Li Chengqian didn't care about this at all, because he had already crossed this road once, and today Li Chengqian is still going straight inside.
Along the way, the guards and chamberlains on both sides saw Li Chengqian coming over and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and Li Chengqian walked up directly as if he hadn't seen it.
When the two attendants who walked to the door of His Majesty's Danshang Station saw Li Chengqian coming up, one was busy running into the hall, and the other stepped forward to salute Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, Your Majesty is ......." Li Chengqian didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and pulled him aside with a crutch and walked over directly.
Li Chengqian also understands it now, anyway, Li Shimin doesn't like him, and it won't do him any good if he picks up his tail carefully, as long as he grasps the big joint, Li Shimin will reprimand him if he wants to reprimand him for small things.
In this way, Li Chengqian walked all the way to the door of Li Shimin's main hall, and before he entered, he heard a chamberlain inside trembling and saying, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has broken in......"
Then I heard it, Li Shimin obviously raised his tone and said, "Let him go back to the East Palaceβ"
Li Chengqian didn't wait for Li Shimin to finish speaking, he directly pushed the door and said loudly, "What kind of lonely king broke in, didn't the lonely king wait for you to come in after you came to report?"
As he walked past the chamberlain, he gave him a stick......
