Chapter 29: Xuan Mingde and Li Chengqian
Carefully took out the jerky hidden in his arms and secretly began to eat.
Qin Qiong, who was sitting behind Xuan Shijing, looked at her nose and nose, nose and mouth, and saw Xuan Shijing eating secretly, and there was no expression on her face.
His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting at the top, had sharp eyes, from his point of view, Xuan Shijing was a white melon in that basket of eggplants, and when he moved slightly, His Majesty Li Er noticed it.
Holding back the smile on his face, His Majesty Li Er coughed lightly, and said loudly: "You Aiqing, since the Tang Dynasty Dingding, all the way through ups and downs, through ups and downs, I and you Aiqing in this turbulent era to overcome obstacles, this is the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today, not my own work, you Aiqing is also indispensable, in the days to come, I still hope, you Aiqing and I together, the monarch and the minister, together to protect this hard-won stability." ”
"The ministers obey." The civil and military officials bowed down in unison.
Xuan Shijing saw everyone bowing to the ground, and hurriedly bowed down, and by the way, he took the dried meat in his hand back into his arms.
"This morning's court meeting, that's it, Deyi, tell the Shangshi Bureau to set up a banquet." Li Shimin commanded.
"No." Deyi bowed in response, and then ordered the little yellow door beside him to go to the Shangshi Bureau to convey His Majesty's will to the emperor.
The banquet of the great court meeting was placed in the Chengtian Palace, without it, it was spacious, His Majesty Li Er led a group of civil ministers and military generals, moved to the Chengtian Palace, and specially instructed Li Chengqian to take good care of Xuan Shijing halfway.
Li Chengqian took Xuan Shijing's little hand and walked behind His Majesty Li Er with him, Xuan Shijing was a little puzzled, why did it seem that Li Chengqian would be so good to him, but Li Tai's attitude towards himself was completely different? As for the other princes, Xuan Shijing has not yet been in contact.
At the banquet, Xuan Shijing was also arranged by Li Shimin to share the table with Li Chengqian, but this was convenient for Xuan Shijing, so he just asked Li Chengqian to see what he said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why does His Royal Highness King Wei seem to dislike me very much?" Xuan Shijing raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian sitting beside him.
"Brother Shijing, this palace doesn't quite understand, maybe it's because of Uncle Mingde." Li Chengqian said, then picked up a glass of wine, drank it all, and then spoke: "My second brother, Wen Taowuluo is actually not inferior to me, but in that matter back then, he was a little too narrow. ”
"Is it because my father is he treated me like this?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"Maybe, this matter has to start with the battle of Wude in the fourth year, when my father and Dou Jiande's 100,000 army confronted the Tiger Prison Pass, when my father only had three thousand striker iron horsemen in his hands, at that time I and my mother and Qingque were in my father's army, that night, my father entrusted me and Qingque to Uncle Mingde, and asked him to lead a team of men and horses to escort us back to Chang'an, while my mother stayed firmly by my father's side, and finally, Uncle Mingde took me and Qingque to Chang'an overnight, but was besieged and killed by Dou Jiande's army halfway. At that time, Uncle Mingde and that team of soldiers fought hard, I and Qingque were in the carriage, although Uncle Mingde was strong in martial arts, but the two fists were difficult to beat the four hands, there was always a time when it was not well taken care of, the carriage was surrounded by Dou Jiande's soldiers, before leaving, the queen mother told me that she wanted me to protect my brother, in order to lure Dou Jiande's soldiers away, I jumped out of the carriage by myself, Uncle Mingde will protect me while fighting against them, I saw clearly at that time, Uncle Mingde has been seriously injured, blood can't stop gushing out, It's all on my hands. Speaking of this, Li Chengqian's hand held the wine glass tightly, due to excessive force, the joints of his fingers were a little white, and he stabilized his mind, Li Chengqian continued to speak: "In great urgency, Uncle Mingde's subordinates surrounded me and Uncle Mingde in the middle, let us ride away first......"
"Is it because my father left with His Royal Highness back then, and left King Wei in the carriage?" Xuan Shijing said.
Li Chengqian nodded: "When I got off the car, Dou Jiande's soldiers all came at me, and they didn't surround the carriage at all, so they definitely didn't know that there were green sparrows in the carriage at that time." Uncle Mingde and I rode all the way until the evening, when we dared to turn back and check, the group that escorted us had all been killed, and Uncle Mingde and I found the sleeping green finch in the grass nearby......"
"I see, His Royal Highness King Wei must have resented my father in his heart." Xuan Shijing said.
Li Chengqian sighed: "It's no wonder Uncle Mingde, at that time, the situation was critical, and he had no choice but to do it, but taking a step back, Qingque was very pitiful, he was so young at the time, he was alone and frightened, hiding in the grass." ”
Xuan Shijing looked at Li Chengqian in a daze, this is the Li Chengqian in history who was moody and engaged in backing the mountain with his heart? Not really! The teenage boy in front of him is just an older brother with a younger brother in his heart.
"Brother Shijing, don't blame Qingque, he ......" Li Chengqian wanted to speak and stopped.
"Don't worry, Your Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't mean to blame His Royal Highness King Wei, I just felt a little curious." Xuan Shijing said, but he knew it in his heart, it turned out that Li Tai saw that he was not pleasing because of Xuan Mingde, and his strength was really bad, no wonder Li Chengqian lost the position of the prince and it was not his turn.
Xuan Shijing was thinking about Li Tai's affairs, but he heard His Majesty Li Er shouting to himself.
"Sejing."
"The minister is here." Xuan Shijing hurriedly stood up and responded.
"Jing'er, you see that you are four years old after the New Year, and it is time to go to school, I know that you have spent some books at home, but if you don't have Mr. to teach you, it will be difficult to become a big thing after all, out of the New Year, you will come to the palace, let Mr. take the exam on your homework, and see if it is appropriate for you to follow Cheng Qian and them to Hongwen Hall, or go to private school with Pheasant Slave, and the punctuation mark use you wrote I have studied with several respected gentlemen, it is very feasible, it is a great achievement, let's say, What reward do you want? His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing and said with a smile.
Xuan Shijing smiled, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth: "If Your Majesty wants to reward me, hehe, it is better to reward me with more pocket money." ”
"Sven sweeps the floor, is your kid out of money?" His Majesty Li Er finally said what he wanted to say to Xuan Shijing: "I know that those yellow and white things are simply shameful. ”
Xuan Shijing's heart is already full of inner cows, Your Majesty, take the yellow and white things in your mouth and humiliate me fiercely, Hou Fu is poor.
"That's it." His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, feeling that his Ninety-Five Honor was not worth being angry with a little brat, and said, "I will reward you with 500 copper coins and 30 brocades." ”
"Gone?" Xuan Shijing stretched his neck and waited for His Majesty Li Er's next words.
"Huh? Anything else? His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile.
"No, the minister, thank you, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." Xuan Shijing hurriedly thanked him, although the reward was not very rich, but he finally saw the money back, and as for the matter of going to the palace to study in the first month, it was automatically ignored by Xuan Shijing.
