Chapter 24: A Refusal
The carriage stopped outside the palace gate in turn, Zhao Chen waited for the carriage to stop, got down from the carriage, looked at the tall palace gate in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Seeing this, Lao Qin on the side glanced at Zhao Chen, then reached out and patted Zhao Chen's shoulder, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then, under the guidance of the old eunuch, they entered the palace gate one after another.
Li Er was really waiting in the palace, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw a group of people standing in front of the Ganlu Palace, led by Li Er, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was wearing a bright yellow rolling dragon robe, tied his hair and streamers, and stood with his hands in his hands.
Behind Li Er, there are the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Er's eldest brother, the eldest grandson Wuji, and then Li Shentong and other veterans of Tiance Mansion, and Wei Zheng's figure is also among them.
"The sons see the father and the emperor, and the queen mother!" In fact, after Li Chengqian arrived in Luoyang, the whole person was already eager to penetrate. This is the first time he has done for Datang as a prince.
Zhao Chen left Chang'an, and the emperor successively sent two generals, but they failed to invite Zhao Chen back, but now, he asked him to come back, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and he wished that he would return to Chang'an for a while and make a contribution in front of his father and mother.
Li Er looked at Li Chengqian, who was originally white and tender, but now he has become black and thin, nodded slightly, and snorted lightly in his nose.
On the other hand, the eldest grandson queen on the side, when she saw Li Chengqian, who had not seen her for more than two months, she became black and thin, tears flashed in her eyes, and she said to Li Chengqian: "My son is happy!" ”
Over there, Li Chengqian was still talking to the eldest grandson, but Li Er's eyes had already turned to Zhao Chen, and there was a slight trance in his eyes.
This was the most embarrassing time since he became emperor. The boy who appeared in Weishui was misunderstood by him at the beginning. caused this young man to be embarrassed step by step in Chang'an, and finally left Chang'an gloomily.
But. Until the moment before the boy left, everyone, including him, couldn't really see through what this teenager meant to Datang.
Naturally, I don't know that this young man, even when he was misunderstood, still worked hard to do things for Datang, trying to change Datang through his efforts!
Until the moment when the boy left angrily. Everyone just woke up, but unfortunately, the boy had already left!
Fortunately, this young man is back again, which is the only thing that makes Li Er feel lucky!
"I've made you suffer a lot of grievances in the past!" Thinking of this, Li Er suddenly took a deep breath, looked directly at Zhao Chen, and said, "It's because I have lost the way to be a king, and I should have the mind!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Chen had just tidied up his robe. When he was about to bow to Li Er, he suddenly heard Li Er's words, and suddenly the whole person froze there, raising his head slightly to look at Li Er. Surprised.
As soon as Li Er's words came out, not only Zhao Chen was surprised, but also the faces of everyone around him. His expressions were slightly stunned.
When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, her eyes were slightly red. Then he stroked Li Chengqian's head with his hand and turned around. Sniffed slightly.
"It's your fault!" Li Er didn't care at all, and the surprised gaze cast around him suddenly looked high-spirited and said: "At the beginning of the year, I decreed that when the Wupin officials entered the palace to participate in politics, there must be a counselor by his side, this is to prevent that if there is a mistake, the counselor can correct it in time!" ”
As he spoke, Li Er looked at the crowd around him, and continued to speak: "However, for the monarch, there are also times when the monarch is immoral and unreasonable, and the monarch must open his mouth and accept the advice of his subordinates with an open mind, so that the four seas can be appeased and the people can live and work in peace and contentment!" ”
Airing! Ming Jun and Chenxian!
When Zhao Chen heard Li Er's words, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Wei Mirror over there, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. Speaking of Ming Jun and Chenxian, these two are a good pair in the eyes of future generations!
When Zhao Chen thought so in his heart, the people around him had already bowed down to Li Er and praised him, a lot of beautiful words, and he didn't want money to throw them out, so he almost praised Li Er as a flower.
"Today, I am very relieved to see Aiqing coming back!" Li Er listened to a large number of songs and praises around him, looked at Zhao Chen with a smile in his eyes, and spoke.
"Wechen is also very happy!" Zhao Chen looked at Li Er, and a smile appeared on his face, he could see that when Li Er said this, there was indeed sincere happiness in his eyes.
Li Er has prepared a banquet in the Ganlu Palace, this is a dust-washing banquet specially set up for Zhao Chen, it can be regarded as the emperor's grace, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one can enjoy the emperor's court banquet.
The people who came to participate in the banquet of Li Ergong, except for Wei Jingjing, an 'outsider', the others were all old people from the original Tiance Mansion, and the old house was naturally among them.
When the group surrounded Li Er and entered the Ganlu Palace, Zhao Chen suddenly noticed that Lao Fang was smiling at him, his expression was slightly stunned, and he suddenly understood that Lao Fang was asking him for credit!
It is estimated that Lao Fang is still proud in his heart and asks the princess to marry, but he proposed it in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the beauty hugged by Zhao Chen will return, and he can't forget him as a big matchmaker!
Zhao Chen greeted the meaningful smiling face of the old house, smiled slightly, and said in his heart, after a while, you old house hope that you can still laugh!
In the Ganlu Palace, a short table has already been arranged, just like Zhao Chen ate at Lao Qin's house for the first time, the short tables are lined up, and everyone sits down in turn according to their status.
Zhao Chen was originally just an official position that did not enter the stream, and on such an occasion, he naturally only had to look at it. However, now that he has been made a marquis, his grade has suddenly reached the third grade, and he has suddenly become a big man.
Li Er was still sitting in his place, and when everyone sat down one by one, he clapped his hands gently, and immediately there were palace beauties, carrying all kinds of delicacies, rushing in, and the same began to be placed on the low table in front of everyone.
The cumbersome dining system is like the first time in the old Qin family, the rules cannot be broken, but fortunately, Zhao Chen has already learned this set in the old Qin family, raise a glass when you should raise a glass, and move the chopsticks when you should move the chopsticks.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, when the banquet was halfway through, suddenly from the back of the hall, a chubby child came in, with two bags on his head, and after coming in, he first bowed to Li Er above.
Then, as soon as he turned around, he looked at Zhao Chen's side, and walked towards Zhao Chen without hesitation.
"Student Li Tai, Mr. Shiwen has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth!" The chubby young man, when he came to Zhao Chen's short table, first bowed slightly to Zhao Chen, and then raised his head to look at Zhao Chen and said: "Atai admires Mr. Tai's talent the most, so I took the liberty of asking Mr. to accept Atai as a disciple, but I don't know if Mr. thinks it?" ”
Accepted as a disciple? This guy is Li Tai, the smart goblin guy in Li's second daughter!
Thinking of this, looking at Li Er above, Li Tai suddenly appeared this time, in front of everyone, and wanted to ask him to be accepted as a disciple, if this matter is not Li Er's instructions, then it is called hell!
"Tai'er, since I saw Aiqing's ability that day, I often think about it!" Li Er saw Zhao Chen's gaze at him, paused slightly, looked at Zhao Chen and said without hesitation: "Tai'er has a heart to learn, and he can be regarded as talented, I also hope that Aiqing can accept Tai'er!" ”
Accept disciples! And among the two children of Li, Li Tai is the smartest!
This matter, if it was placed when he first came to Chang'an, if Li Tai came to ask for it like this, he would have been unable to ask for it, but now, in the face of Li Tai's request, he was a little hesitant!
Accurate! That's how he felt in his heart!
"Wechen will only study arithmetic, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on the prince's studies!" Zhao Chen paused for a moment, but still met Li Er's gaze, took a deep breath, bowed down and said, "Therefore, Your Majesty's intentions, Weichen is afraid to live up to it!" ”
Rejected!
As soon as Zhao Chen's words came out, the whole hall was shocked, originally they had just seen Li Tai bow down and ask, and His Majesty personally spoke, Zhao Chen would definitely agree, but who expected the result to be like this!
Li Er frowned and sat on it, his face was cloudy, but in the end, he took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Chen Gang and wanted to speak.
Suddenly, Li Tai, who was standing in front of Zhao Chen, bowed to Zhao Chen again, and said earnestly: "What Tai'er admires Mr. is that this Gewu and arithmetic are together, and I hope that Mr. will not refuse, and accept Tai'er as a disciple!" Disciples must strictly abide by the teachings of the master! ”
Li Tai asked again, and the eyes of everyone in the hall all looked at Zhao Chen, and there was a faint sense of expectation in their eyes. Li Er also looked at Zhao Chen, his fists clenched, and there was also a sense of expectation in his eyes.
If Li Tai's request is rejected the first time, it is reasonable, but if it is rejected again the second time, it is a bit too much!
Lao Qin and Cheng Yanjin kept looking at Zhao Chen, their eyes were full of worry, Zhao Chen saw Lao Qin and Cheng Yanjin's gaze, took a slight breath, looked at Li Er and said: "Since the prince is dedicated to Gewu and arithmetic, then follow Weichen!" ”
As soon as Zhao Chen's words came out, everyone in the hall suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Er looked at Zhao Chen, and sure enough, Zhao Chen, who was listening, continued to speak: "It's just that the name of this master and apprentice, Weichen is afraid that he will still live up to it!"
