Chapter Eighty-Nine: Li Chengqian's Gift

Although there was a lot of commotion in the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone was mentally prepared, so Li Shimin and the hundred civil and military officials calmly accepted this fact.

The next day was the first day of the new year, which was one of the most solemn political activities of the year in the Tang Dynasty.

However, in order to officially participate in politics, Li Chengqian had already prepared a declaration on his politics in the Tang Dynasty, so how could he not participate.

It was only at Li Chengqian's strong request that Li Shimin agree to his normal participation in the New Year's Day Dynasty in the year of the Lunar New Year.

After the events of the second half of December, the Manchu Dynasty had no doubts about the status of Prince Li Chengqian.

During the Yuan Dynasty, as soon as Li Chengqian's car appeared outside the Taiji Palace, thousands of civil and military ministers in front of the Taiji Palace saluted him solemnly, and he had the atmosphere of a king.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When this situation happened, Li Chengqian also had a sense of arrogance in his heart, endured a slight pain in his chest, and said loudly: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

"The prince made the ministers even!" The old ghost standing next to the car immediately repeated it by pulling his throat.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

Li Chengqian changed his steps in front of the Taiji Gate, and the gate of the Taiji Palace was opened.

Li Chengqian took the lead in taking the lead, and all the clans, civil and military ministers, envoys sent by the assassins from various places, and envoys from surrounding feudal states followed one after another.

The New Year's Day Dynasty is to congratulate the emperor on the New Year, which is divided into three parts, the first part is that the crown prince leads the royal family to Li Shimin to pay New Year's greetings, the second part is the princes and ministers and local officials, the envoys sent to the court by the generals stationed in the court also call the envoys of the Chaoji to Li Shimin to pay New Year's greetings, and the third part is the envoys of the tribal leaders and feudal states to Li Shimin to pay New Year's greetings. Today, Li Shimin is dressed in a crown and solemnly resting on the throne in the Taiji Palace, and Li Chengqian is wearing a costume and traveling to the three beams and crowns, holding his crutches, step by step but solemnly leading the princes and royal relatives to worship Li Shimin.

Many ministers in the main hall felt embarrassed when they saw this scene, this crown prince has not been treated by the emperor and ministers since he injured his foot, and there was a rumor of abolition last year.

But with the East Palace quelling the rebellion of the concubine Li Tai, and Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince as stable as Mount Tai again, it seems that the Tang Dynasty really wants to have a crippled emperor......

Li Chengqian and the kings finished their worship according to the rites, and stood on the top of the hall waiting for Li Shimin to speak.

"The prince and Zhu Qing are even, proclaim!"

The ministers were stunned when they heard the words, it was not the time to announce the decree, the New Year's Day and the court were all kinds of ceremonies, and they generally waited until the court to announce the decree and give the banquet, what was the decree at this time?

didn't let Li Chengqian and the ministers think about it much, and the chamberlain Huang Qingming came out and announced loudly: "The crown prince is in the earthquake side, and the etiquette is not in the group, and the calligraphy style is not written in the Yi chapter." ……”

An edict was read by Huang Qingming, the chamberlain who pronounced the edict, and all the ministers understood that this was Li Shimin's order to promote Li Chengqian, so that he could directly approve the order at the back of the book when he gave his ministers approval in the future.

Originally, the documents of the East Palace were only ordered by the Zhan Shifu only very formal orders, and in the future, with Li Shimin's edict, Li Chengqian's whatever he wrote or commented on the minister's notes would be called "orders".

All the ministers who understood the meaning of this edict were shocked, including the prime ministers of the three provinces, they did not expect that Li Shimin would have such great courage to dare to give Li Chengqian such great power, and with the power of this decree, Li Chengqian's power was above the prime minister.

The ministers were shocked and not over, Huang Qingming took out the second edict.

"The crown prince is a cadre, loyal and filial piety, and his career is glorious,......。"

The content of the second edict is that Li Chengqian will be given a seat next to the emperor's throne in the Great Dynasty and the Chang Dynasty, that is, in the future, whenever Li Chengqian goes to the court, after paying homage to Li Shimin, he can sit on the seat next to Li Shimin and listen to the government with Li Shimin.

After listening to the two edicts, the civil and military officials had not yet returned to their souls, when they saw Li Shimin stretching out his left hand to beckon to Li Chengqian, and pointing to the throne that had just been set up next to him with his right hand and said, "Chengqian has come to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials with his father." ”

Although Li Shimin was wearing a crown today, and there were twelve strings blocking his face in front of him, Li Chengqian also seemed to see Li Shimin looking at himself with loving eyes.

"Thank you for your father's special kindness, but the sons dare not violate the rules!" Li Chengqian resisted the desire to sit up immediately.

When Li Shimin heard this, he said in a gentle tone: "Don't quit, I have already issued an edict, and if you sit up, it will not be considered a violation of etiquette and transgression." ”

"Sons obey orders!" As he spoke, Li Chengqian limped up to the throne specially set up for him and sat down.

The princes and clans who followed Li Chengqian just now, look at me, you don't know what to do, okay?

It was Li Ke who reacted first, and solemnly saluted Li Chengqian: "See His Royal Highness the Prince, I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a long life!" ”

The other princes and clans in the back also had to follow Li Ke to pay homage to Li Chengqian, and the ministers and envoys of the second round of worship and the leaders and envoys of the third round of worship to the various vassal states and tribes also followed suit, first paying homage to Li Shimin and then paying homage to Li Chengqian.

Thousands of people took turns to enter the temple to worship their father, even if it was two hundred people at a time, it would be better dozens of times, and the number of various rituals was different each time, so the toss passed in the morning.

Just when Li Shimin and his ministers were a little tired and hungry and ready to announce the feast, Li Chengqian suddenly stood up and saluted Li Shimin first, and said in a low voice:

"Father, the sons and daughters also have some gifts that they want to give to the internal and external ministers at this time, and there is also an edict that they want to read at the same time."

Li Shimin thought it was a case about Li Tai's rebellion, so he frowned and said: "Cheng Qian's gift can be given after the banquet, and the edict will not be too late to be announced after three days." "It means to let me have a peaceful birthday.

Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin was tired or unwilling to change the etiquette system, so he explained: "Father, the gift prepared by the sons and ministers is the "Commentary on the Four Books", and the edict is also about Xingnong, which is appropriately rewarded and read at this time. ”

"Oh!" As soon as he heard that it was a book and an edict on Xingnong, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Then you can read it!" ”

Li Chengqian first bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Obey the order!" Then he turned to the old ghost and said, "The old ghost declares!" ”

The old ghost had been prepared a long time ago, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and took two steps and said loudly: "The prince ordered: industry is good at diligence, and absurdity is frolic; Actions are made in thought, and destroyed in follow. Hundreds of officials in the world bear the emperor's order, and the people are cared for, and only by working conscientiously and conscientiously can they live up to the emperor's grace and live up to the people's support.

However, hundreds of officials are either short-sighted and weak-minded, or their temperament and spirit are unknown, and there are even those who are greedy for money and goods, and love power, resulting in the destruction of the government, the people, and the poor family and the country.

The lonely king not only felt that Sun Quan still had the virtue of persuading learning, but also sighed that the harmful generation of the hundred officials specially noted a copy of the "Four Books Collection Notes", and printed 5,000 copies to give the hundred officials. ”

After Bai Zhou read this half-literate and half-white prince's order, the Taiji Hall was in an uproar, Li Chengqian not only openly scolded the officials for being immoral and incompetent, but also gave them books to study every day, how could those old masters with a lot of beards stand it?

They have always scolded the emperor and the crown prince!

Li Shimin also shook his head and smiled bitterly when he looked at this situation, and secretly said that Chengqian was too anxious, and he would have to teach him well in the future.
