Chapter 143: The 'simple' Li Chengqian
"You're really holding a grudge. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Chengqian smiled helplessly.
"I hold a grudge because I don't have the strength to bring down a big family that has stood for hundreds of years, and I don't have the strength to completely eradicate him, so I can only slowly eat away one step at a time." Xuan Shijing said: "I will never forget the feeling I felt when I learned that day that the Zheng family sent assassins to assassinate my mother halfway, angry, unwilling, powerless, mixed with some remorse, but now that I have this power, I will not let this feeling appear in my heart again, my original intention is just to protect the person who is very important to me." ”
Xuan Shijing's words evoked Li Chengqian's memories back then, when he and Li Taishang were still young, he took the guards to escort Li Tai all the way to escape, and did not hesitate to use himself as bait to lure away the rebels, isn't it just to protect his younger brother? At that time, there was anger and fear, but the only difference from Xuan Shijing was that he did not regret it.
"Anyway, what to do about the affairs of the two families of you and King Zheng, don't ask, there is your father to decide, and with your father here, you must have a degree of doing things, don't put yourself in." Li Chengqian instructed.
"Of course I know that." Xuan Shijing said.
Li Chengqian and Xuan Shijing sat down, chatted while drinking, chatted, and talked about Li Zhi's affairs in Minzhou.
"I heard that the young slaves are doing well in Minzhou." Li Chengqian said: "Many people praise him, the original Minzhou poor mountains and bad waters, now he is governed, it is still decent, speaking of which, the young slave did not live up to his father's painstaking efforts, I have seen him in the palace today, sure enough, I haven't seen him for three years, and when I meet again, it is like growing up overnight." ”
Li Zhi is Li Chengqian's younger brother, a compatriot of his mother, Li Zhi has become more talented, and Li Chengqian is also happy, provided that Li Chengqian still does not know what Li Zhi has done in Minzhou.
And the matter of staring at Li Zhi under the secret stake in Minzhou is only known to Xuan Shijing and His Majesty Li Er.
"The news of the Shenhou Mansion, Tuyuhun has not been very quiet recently, so don't you worry?" Xuan Shijing asked: "The border of Minzhou borders the border of Tuyuhun, if Tuyuhun wants to invade the Tang Dynasty, the first choice is Minzhou, now Minzhou is under the governance of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and the people are a little bit of a good life, which is in the hands of Tuyuhun, after all, in another three or four months, it will enter winter." ”
Li Chengqian shook his head: "No, but when the time comes, Tuyuhun will invade Minzhou, and it has nothing to do with the slave, I saw my father just before I left the palace, and my father seems to be interested in transferring the slave back to Chang'an to listen to it, maybe the slave is going to move the place, this time I will change the place, and the father will probably have to give him a richer place, who knows where?" In short, the father will not treat the young slave badly. ”
Your Majesty wants to transfer Li Zhi back to Chang'an, and then change places? Xuan Shijing was surprised, and after the difference, he had to admire His Majesty Li Er's methods, so that Li Zhi's three years in Minzhou were in vain.
Is this a warning to Li Zhi?
"Xiao Jing? What's wrong? Li Chengqian saw Xuan Shijing sitting there in a daze, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of Xuan Shijing.
"Oh, that's fine." Xuan Shijing smiled: "If this is the case, then His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I don't feel good in my heart." ”
Xuan Shijing's words are hidden, but Li Chengqian doesn't know about Li Zhi, so he can't hear it.
"Not necessarily, although he has served in Minzhou for three years and governed Minzhou well, but the topography of Minzhou is destined to become a barrier between Datang and Tuyuhun, and it will not develop anywhere, it is better to go south, such as Shannan Road and Huainan Road, which are relatively wealthy places in Datang, with a high starting point and room for young slaves."
Xuan Shijing's face did not change, but he couldn't help complaining to Li Chengqian in his heart, if Li Zhi plays again, I am afraid that your position as the prince will be taken away by him, even if you can't take it away, Chang'an City will definitely have some trouble, and now Li Zhi is not as harmless as a few years ago, for a martial artist, Xuan Shijing feels that Li Zhi can do anything.
Do you have to praise Wu and flatter, or belittle Li Zhi to become a grace?
It is understandable that the children of the royal family have that thought, but Li Zhi has this thought, completely because of Wu Mei, or was forced to go to this road by Wu Mei.
"The world is impermanent, like a white cloud and a dog, who knows what will happen in the future." Xuan Shijing responded.
"Xiao Jing is talking very differently today." Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing directly: "Xiao Jing doesn't know something, right?" Let's talk about it. ”
Xuan Shijing shook his head: "It's nothing, I just heard His Royal Highness talk about King Jin, I felt a lot of emotion, I heard that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Majesty is going to give a decree to give marriage, and the son is still with me." ”
"What should I do, it turns out that Xiaojing is nervous, too, after waiting for so many years, now it's finally the right time, what's the matter, unhappy?"
"It's natural to be happy, just think about it, my son is only fifteen years old now."
"What's this, my mother married my father at the age of twelve, and I came out when I was fifteen." Li Chengqian said disdainfully: "I don't know where you got these ideas." ”
"So the queen's body has been unfavorable all these years." Xuan Shijing said.
"What do you mean?"
"When the queen gave birth to you, she was young, her body was not fully grown, she was pregnant and gave birth to you, and her body was broken, she must have fallen ill, and the age difference between you and King Wei is not much, right?" Xuan Shijing said.
"This ......" Li Chengqian didn't expect to say this: "Really? ”
"Anyway, I've been studying medicine for ten years, so I'm going to lie to you." Xuan Shijing took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "I think that our Datang should issue a decree that a woman under the age of sixteen cannot be married." Xuan Shijing said: "The woman herself is young, the risk of having a child is too great, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, you can ask the subordinate officials of the East Palace to do a survey among the people, or combine the information of the household department to see, a woman under the age of sixteen gives birth to a child, how many percent do not die young, how many percent are not one corpse and two lives, and how many percent, the child is born without a mother." ”
Xuan Shijing's words Li Chengqian was frightened, he had never been in contact with this aspect of the investigation, and he never knew how well the people would survive.
Even in modern times, there is still a great risk for a woman under the age of sixteen to give birth, let alone Datang, whether it is medical conditions or sanitary conditions, there is no comparison.
"I will ask the subordinate officials of the East Palace to investigate, get a detailed excerpt as soon as possible, and present it to my father." Li Chengqian said.
