Chapter 43: Lao Li's Examination and Warning

Because of Li Chengqian's matter, polo couldn't be played, and a group of military generals, for who would assemble the horseshoe first, almost staged an all-martial arts.

In the end, it was His Majesty Li Er who made the decision to equip the border army first, which ended a farce, but as the initiator of this farce, Li Chengqian, was reprimanded by Emperor Lao Tzu all the way from Longshouyuan to the imperial city, until he entered the Lizheng Palace.

"Cheng Qian, do you resent that Wei Chi Gong?" After returning to the Lizheng Hall and taking the tea brewed by the eldest grandson, Li Shimin asked.

"Resentment? Why? Li Chengqian was originally ready to continue to welcome the old man's storm, but he couldn't prevent the old man from coming.

"He didn't save you face at all in the camp, don't you hate him?" Li Er looked at Li Chengqian with a smile, but the eldest grandson standing behind Li Er was nervous.

Although Li Er's words were asked with a smile, the meaning was self-evident, and the most important point was to test whether Li Chengqian was tolerant.

It is necessary to know that Li Chengqian's nickname is a must-try, and he suffered such a big loss in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, if he doesn't hold a grudge, it is clearly a lie, and if he says that he holds a grudge, it will exceed the bottom line of the people.

That's why Empress Eldest Sun was so nervous, for fear that Li Chengqian's answer would be missed.

However, Li Chengqian's answer greatly surprised Li Er and his eldest grandson: "Father, Uncle Wei Chi is already ashamed enough, why do I hate him?" ”

"Oh? Tell me, how is he ashamed? After Li Er was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face became even stronger.

"Of course it's a shame, as a general, I don't even know the use of horseshoes, and the whole world knows it, which completely exposes the essence of an illiterate." As a later generation, Li Chengqian's way of thinking about problems is completely different from that of the Tang Dynasty.

"What is illiteracy?" The eldest grandson asked with some curiosity.

"It's just looking at the words, but I don't know it, it's like being blind, abbreviated: illiterate," Li Chengqian replied with a smile.

"You kid, do your best to arrange people, remember to go out and don't talk nonsense, be careful that your Uncle Chi beats you."

"Yes, Erchen knows."

"Then Wei Chi and Cheng Yanjin called you 'kid' in public, aren't you angry?" Li Er is still continuing the topic of suitable talents.

"What's there to be angry about?" Li Chengqian was stunned by Li Er's question, and replied casually.

In his impression, this is a very affectionate name, in later generations when he was young, all his father's comrades called him much more ruthless than this, what 'little free cub', 'little deflated calf', '** cub'.

This is the difference between the later generations and the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian, who is accustomed to all kinds of strange names in later generations, is not interested in the title of 'boy' at all, but feels that these old people have been merciful.

Li Er was also stunned by Li Chengqian's reaction, he didn't expect Li Chengqian to ask a rhetorical question like this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You must be the prince after all, and they are courtiers." ”

It was only at this time that Li Chengqian figured out what Li Er was thinking, and after a little pondering, he said slowly: "Father, in fact, respect is not important, relative to respect, loyalty is the most important. ”

Looking at the emperor Lao Tzu, who was silent drinking tea, Li Chengqian continued: "As for calling such things, Erchen thinks that they are just showing the intimacy between them and the imperial family. ”

"Hmm. It's good that you can think of that. Regarding Li Chengqian's statement, His Majesty Li Er nodded, expressed his approval, and finally instructed: "Remember, don't hold a grudge against those courtiers because of a little thing." ”

"Erchen understands that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people arrive, there are no disciples." Li Chengqian secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat, and almost said the famous saying of later generations, 'If a person is cheap, he is invincible'.

"Well, this sentence is quite placed, it seems that I have read some books during this time." I don't know if His Majesty Li Er would continue to praise Li Chengqian if he heard the sentence 'If a person is cheap, he is invincible'.

Without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, he stroked the tea bowl in his hand and muttered: "However, Wei Chi has indeed been a little happy during this time, and it seems that he needs to be transferred out." ”

At this time, what can Li Chengqian do except remain silent, this kind of thing is definitely not something that he can intervene in as an 8-year-old doll now.

As the saying goes, say more and make more mistakes, say less and make fewer mistakes, although the embarrassing position of the prince is awesome, but in fact it is also a bitter force, and you have to think twice about every word you say, otherwise it will be a handle to be attacked.

However, His Majesty Li Er seemed to be in the mood today, and he had to catch the toad and pee, and resolutely refused to let go of Li Chengqian, and when he saw that he was silent, he asked: "Chengqian, with your wisdom, you should be able to understand why I transferred Wei Chi out, right?" ”

Li Chengqian wanted to say that he didn't know, but when he saw that the eldest grandson kept signaling behind His Majesty Li Er, he had to nod: "I was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, although I can't say that there are internal and external troubles, but I am also surrounded by wolves. Therefore, what the court needs is not a balance of opposites, but should unite and work for a common goal. ”

"And Uncle Wei Chi relies on his own merits and is proud of his merits, and from how he treats his sons and ministers today, you can see how he will treat the courtiers, and in the long run, it will definitely cause antagonism ......in the court."

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er burst into laughter, nodded and said, "Not bad, really good." You can see that, that's enough. ”

"Thank you for your father's praise!" Li Chengqian was quite happy to be praised by the old man.

"Okay, don't make a face, you can't eat you for your father." Li Chengqian's face was like constipation, which made His Majesty Li Er a little crying and laughing. Every time I want to take the school exam, this lazy boy has such an expression, and Comrade Lao Li is also helpless.

In the end, His Majesty Li Er still let Li Chengqian go, waved his hand to let him go down, and instructed before leaving: "You stop a little during this time, don't toss anymore, understand?" ”

"Whoa! Erchen understood. ”

"Go ahead!"

"Second brother, why are you tossing him so much today?" Seeing that Li Chengqian was gone, the eldest grandson put a plate of dried fruits beside Li Er, fed him one and asked.

"Just warn him, this kid has too many tricks, and he is better than a monkey when he sticks to it, if you don't warn him, he can't really stab him in the back." Li Er squinted his eyes and said with a deep groan.

He suspected many problems, but he never doubted Li Chengqian's bad stomach, and the nickname of Jianwei was not obtained for nothing.

Those who offended him on weekdays, which one of them did not suffer a loss afterwards, the money steward just said a few words about his maid Chunxiao, this kid said that he would not retaliate, but now the money steward is almost half a life left.

Li Qin thought he had a plan to rob him of the errand of assisting Kong Yingda in compiling the "Commentary on the Five Classics", but he fell into the pile of books, couldn't climb out, and was chased by Kong Yingda behind his ass every day, and his eyes were tired and dark circles.
