Chapter 165: Seeing and Frying Together
For Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, who had just turned thirteen a few days later, the palace was a strange and distant place, and it was the first time in his life to step into the vertical arch hall. www.biquge.info As soon as he entered the door, he almost stumbled over the threshold, and when he carefully concealed his gaze, he was led to the emperor, and he was stunned.
Although he immediately bowed respectfully and saluted, after all, it was a loss of etiquette to study it carefully, but only a very gentle voice greeted him; "Get up. It is difficult for you to take the Hajj instead of your father at such a young age. ”
Li Chongming stood up in a proper manner, lowered his eyes and said: "Back to the emperor, this time my father originally wanted to come, but he was not allowed to go to Beijing for the Hajj without authorization, so he asked the minister to bring a hand-drawn New Year's scroll, a hand-written New Year's message, and a hand-brewed New Year's wine." In addition, the tributes are all dotted with the governor of the line, and the ministers are young, that is, they bear a name. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and his head hung lower: "As for the accompanying car with too few guards, the minister is ignorant, before crossing the Yellow River halfway, he suddenly encountered the earth dragon and turned over, and then there was a shock along the way for several days." Because there were many ministers and guards, a few officials who were really anxious came to borrow people, and the ministers relented for a while and agreed. ”
Speaking of this, Li Chongming knelt down again, and said with a sad face: "After arriving in Jinling, Changshi had no choice but to instruct people to say that it was because of the peaceful and prosperous era and the extinction of Xiaoxiao, so there were only so few people to escort the ministers to Beijing, but in fact, it was because everyone was intercepted by the local government halfway. ”
As the son of King Jia, the adopted son of the emperor, Li Chongming walked all the way, and along the way, there were messengers from all walks of life to report his actions to the top, so the emperor knew that at least nine times out of ten this was true. Li Chongming, who was traveling south from the north, happened to encounter an earthquake with amazing damage, and it was thanks to Li Chongming's southward movement that the news of the earthquake reached Jinling as quickly as possible.
Only then did it finally become clear that the center of the earthquake was in Dingxiang, Xinzhou.
Moreover, even if Li Chongming was not left as a guard in the center of the earthquake area, he still helped a lot.
The most important thing is that it is indeed the local officials who are in a hurry and find Li Chongming to beg for someone to go. As for the soft-hearted person, it is not Li Chongming, but the entourage Changshi. When the palace official can actually be a palace official without losing his blood, the emperor is already ready to move the palace chief Shi to a nest and change to a place where he can give full play to his expertise.
The emperor thought so in his heart, but instructed Chen Wuliang to step forward and help Li Chongming up. When he ordered someone to sit down, he looked carefully, and suddenly felt a little stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Chen Wuliang, who do you think this child looks like?" ”
Chen Wuliang had already seen it, but he didn't want to mention this kind of thing that was likely to be boring, but the emperor asked, so he could only say vaguely as much as possible: "The prince of Jiawang is the bloodline of Emperor Taizu, so he is naturally like Emperor Taizu." ”
The emperor knew what Chen Wuliang was taboo about, but at this moment, seeing Li Chongming's honest and honest appearance, he couldn't help but think of his submissive appearance in front of the Queen Mother, and suddenly felt that he was angry with that honest adopted son back then, and moved people away to Hedong Road, which was really a little unkind.
Therefore, he endured and endured, and finally sighed: "Your appearance is somewhat similar to that of my youth." ”
This is what Li Chongming had heard from an official who had seen the young emperor before entering Beijing, but he not only strictly ordered that person not to mention it again, but also minimized his own outing, for fear that there would be such rumors until he came to Jinling this time.
But even so, he still didn't dare to believe the news in his heart, and now the emperor was so emotional, he couldn't help but raise his head, and even his shoulders were trembling slightly.
After a long while, he squeezed out an ugly smile: "It's the first time I've seen the emperor, I don't know if it's like it...... No, no, the minister didn't mean that, the minister wanted to say that His Royal Highness must be more like the emperor......"
As if he felt that he couldn't go on, Li Chongming simply drooped his head: "The minister is very sharp in front of outsiders, so I don't know why after meeting the emperor, he suddenly couldn't speak......
The emperor has seen a lot of shrewd and capable officials outside, but in front of him he seems to be submissive, thinking about the report yesterday, Li Chongming was indeed very smart when dealing with the girl who sold herself to bury her father, and he couldn't help but laugh. However, thinking about Yue Qianqiu even younger at the beginning, he could not have stage fright in front of him, and the three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren were carved out of a mold, and he finally laughed out loud.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to be nervous. In terms of seniority, you are also my grandchild, can I still eat you? The reason why I met you before the official Hajj was just to say a few words to you. ”
Saying this, the emperor thought of King Jia, who now had several sons, and now this eldest son Li Chongming was only a few months younger than his big fat son, and he couldn't help but feel a little complicated.
More than five years ago, the two pregnant Wanyi gave birth to a princess, and even though he had always expected the worst to come, he still couldn't let go. Moreover, he is old, and it is impossible for him to work as hard as he used to do for the sake of his heirs. In the past five years, he has been very restrained in women, and the result is that there has been no good news from the harem.
If there is no accident, I am afraid that he can only accept the fate of the result.
"Father, father!"
With this babbling voice, the emperor's cranky thoughts immediately stopped, and were replaced by a helpless smile. Seeing that the figure was much slimmer than back then, but it was still round and jade, he rushed in, so he straightened his face and said, "Are there any rules?" Didn't know to report when you came in? ”
"Oh." Li Yiming lowered his head to make a gesture of reflection, but the next moment he rushed directly to the emperor's side as if no one was around, pressed the armrest with a smile and said, "Father, I got another compliment from Mr. today, Mr. said that I can write well, memorize books well, and everything is good." ”
If Yue Qianqiu was here, he would definitely dump a princess to sell melons and sell her boastful eyes to the little fat man, but Li Chongming is obviously not so familiar with the emperor, and he will not be so unscrupulous. He stood up very consciously, but did not rush to salute the little fat man, or interject a compliment to show his presence, but just stood there quietly.
Even so, the emperor still noticed this neglected guest, and glared at the little fat man with disgust, and he said gently: "Chongming, come, I have seen your fourth uncle." ”
This fourth uncle, Li Chongming, who lowered his head, well covered the discoloration on his face. But the little fat man could barely hide the resentment that suddenly arose, and almost wanted to question the emperor that he had always been a big man, but now he has become the fourth uncle. Therefore, when he saw Li Chongming bending down and saluting and really calling out to the fourth uncle, he almost hated it.
Yue Qianqiu's nephew Chang'an is so good, even if he can count people seriously, he won't be as hateful as this Li Chongming!
Under the emperor's gaze, the little fat man could only pout and say, "Father, I came in a hurry and didn't bring a gift to my nephew." ”
Although he knew that the little fat man would never be unhappy for the sake of the greeting gift, the emperor continued to look at him with a smile, until he reluctantly answered Li Chongming's greeting, and he bowed his head slightly.
"The family doesn't talk to the two families, Chongming made the pilgrimage for his father this time, and I plan to keep him studying in Jinling Guozijian."
This time, not only the little fat man was shocked, but Li Chongming only felt a wave of ecstasy. The four gazes collided together coincidentally, almost bursting out with the most intense sparks.
The next moment, the little fat man immediately shouted: "Father, I will also go to the national prison!" ”
The emperor didn't summon him for a long time, and after saying what he had to say, Li Chongming was almost over, so he got up and retired, but he had just come out of the vertical arch hall when he saw the little fat man chasing him out with a cold face. However, before the two of them could speak, they only heard the sound of someone talking outside. As the figure entered through the vertical arch, both of them froze at the same time.
It's actually a thousand autumns!
