Chapter 31: Unanimous
After Li Yuanjian ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the country, he set up a feudal screen and sealed a number of clans in the sixth year of Wude.
According to the custom, the son was canonized as a prince, and in addition to the crown prince, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, were the heads.
Brothers and nephews who had made great achievements in war, as well as young grandsons, were canonized as county kings.
Li Chengdao, the king of Anlu County, is one of them, but it is also the most special one.
He is the second son of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.
And Li Chengzong, the eldest son of the East Palace, unfortunately died early, as the eldest son of the crown prince, he seems to be the future prince of the Tang Dynasty and the first heir to the throne.
is based on the Tang Dynasty, and the perspective of Li Chengdao is naturally different.
Lee Seung-do himself is aware of his identity and is full of expectations for the future, but he is also under great pressure.
In addition to being cautious in words and deeds, and playing a good and virtuous good grandson and son, you must also be careful of external pressure everywhere.
The younger brothers are still young, and Li Chengzong, who is the son of the crown princess Zheng Guanyin, is not worried.
He believes that the biggest threat comes from Tiance Mansion and from his second uncle Li Shimin.
The second uncle, who had great military achievements and great authority, really threatened his father's position as the prince.
There are no eggs under the nest, and once the father's storage position is lost, there will be no good end in the East Palace.
As long as the second uncle exists, even if his father successfully ascends the throne, it will be a problem for their father and son's henchmen in the future.
Although he is only a teenager, Li Chengzong, who has read the scriptures and history, has witnessed many lessons from the past, and he is already well versed in these truths and has a sense of crisis.
Although the East Palace has the help of the fourth uncle, Qi Wang Yuanji, the situation is still urgent.
Therefore, Li Chengzong felt that he had an obligation to do something for the East Palace.
For example, Emperor Chenghuan's grandfather kneeled, and used filial piety and wisdom to please Li Yuan and add points to the East Palace.
Another example is to communicate with the magnates of the Chang'an family and their children, replacing the prince's father, who is inconvenient to come forward with the Minister of Communications, to maintain personal relationships.
At the same time, with the help of the favorable status of the emperor's grandson, he entered and exited the palace with his mother Zheng Guanyin, honored the "grandmother" in the name of you, and fought for the pillow wind that created momentum for the East Palace.
This is the thing that the second uncle Li Shimin disdains the most, every time he comes back from the expedition, he always talks about his mother Queen Dou, who died early, at the palace banquet, which makes the palace concubines unhappy.
Li Chengzong saw it in his eyes and felt that the second uncle, who was heroic and wise on the battlefield, was really stupid.
Confucius said: Only villains and women are difficult to raise!
And the concubine of the palace is probably the woman with the smallest heart and the most villainous heart.
If you are so careless in your words and deeds, and you are directly offended, isn't it unpleasant to yourself?
The second uncle is stupid and stupid, and Donggong naturally can't.
It was Zheng Guanyin, Li Chengzong's mother and son, and even the crown prince Li Jiancheng himself, who worked hard to make friends with the concubine.
The most important ones in the harem are Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei, the two favorite concubines.
Therefore, in addition to often playing with Concubine Yin's little uncle Li Yuanheng, Li Chengzong also taught his younger brother Yin Lu well, both at the same time.
Although Yin Lu is perverse and domineering, he is an arrogant straw bag, Li Chengzong looks down on him from the bottom of his bones, and he has to be vain.
However, Yin Lu has a lot of flattery with him on weekdays, and Li Chengzong is also quite useful.
In the end, he is only a teenager, and even if he is old and precocious, he will inevitably have a little vanity.
When Yin Lu invited him to go to Fanchuan in the south of the city for a spring trip, Li Chengzong, the king of Anlu, reluctantly agreed...
……
March 26 of the ninth year of Wude, an auspicious day of the zodiac.
The foundation stone for the construction of the Peach Blossom Distillery is scheduled to be laid on this day, and invitations were sent out early in the morning.
The three shareholders of Changsun Chong, Du Gou, and Cheng Chumo naturally came, and invited a group of relatives and friends, and children of familiar families to go to congratulate them.
But before going out, there were guests at home, three little guests.
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Liqian.
Today, Mr. Xixi is resting, and he doesn't have to go to the study, the three of them are very depressed at home, and there is nowhere to go, so Princess Qin sent someone to send the three children to her brother's house.
Visit relatives and play with cousins of the same age, and it can be more lively when there are more people.
When the three little guys from the palace came to the gate of their uncle's house, they happened to meet their cousin Sun Chong, who was about to go out.
Li Li was deaf and clear-sighted, and overheard their destination, Fan Chuan.
She heard from the maids of the palace that Fanchuan has excellent scenery and is a good place for spring travel, and Li Lizhi has long been fascinated.
Shangyuan Festival has been to the Guanyin Temple there, but at that time the spring was cold, everywhere was bare, no peach and green willows, rippling blue waves, so still in my heart.
It's a pity that due to various reasons, I haven't had the opportunity to go, but now when I hear that my cousin is going, I suddenly have an idea.
"Cousin, take us to Fanchuan to play!"
Li Lizhi made a request, and Li Chengqian and Li Tai vaguely felt that it was inappropriate, but they couldn't resist the temptation of playing in the beautiful scenery.
Don't look at them as the royal nobles of the palace, in fact, there is not much fun in life on weekdays, and they are not as free and enjoyable as the children in the countryside.
Li Lizhi is a girl, relying on her father's favor, she has been lively since she was a child, and even a little bold and willful, but it is harmless.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai, as the princes of the imperial grandson, have many rules and restrictions since they were young.
In my heart, I have a great desire to play. It's rare not to go to the study today, and there is a good opportunity, so naturally I am also excited.
Faced with the request of the three cousins (sisters), the eldest grandson Chong was embarrassed.
His original intention was to let his cousins stay in his womb and play with his younger siblings, who would have thought that they would go to Fanchuan with him.
"This... King Qin and my aunt didn't agree, so I can't take you to the forefront. ”
"Cousin, please."
Li Lizhi grabbed the robe of the eldest grandson Chong and pleaded coquettishly.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai also stared, their eyes full of longing.
Where can the eldest grandson be patient, and where is he embarrassed to refuse, he said: "That's good, you wait a little longer, send someone to inform your aunt, as long as your aunt doesn't object, I'll take you there." ”
"Okay!"
Li Lizhi pursed her small mouth, a little worried, will the mother concubine agree?
Hu Cong quickly went back and forth to the Qin Palace, and the news he brought back was that Princess Qin allowed her to go early and return early.
There is the eldest nephew of the mother's family, accompanied by Du Wei and others, and many guards and followers, safe and worry-free.
Since the children are looking forward to going out, let them go!
Children are lively by nature, and stay within the high walls of the palace all day long, presumably they are really bored and panicked, and it is rare to have a bright spring, and it is good to take a look at the spring.
Princess Qin's eldest grandson thought so.
Although the eldest grandson Chong went to lay the foundation to congratulate him, he was just going through the motions, and when the time came, he would take his cousins around, see the scenery, eat some food, and send them back before sunset.
Speaking of which, Chen Yu is still the life-saving benefactor of Li Tai and Li Lizhen, so it is better to take them to thank them in person.
Du Gou often worked part-time as a guard commander in the Qin Palace, so it was naturally easy to do his job.
Although there are little princes and little county lords accompanying them, they must have some scruples and restraints, and Cheng Chumo and other powerful children are not easy to say.
The brothers and sisters Li Chengqian, Li Tai and Li Lizhi were very surprised, and they hurriedly boarded the carriage, followed the mount of their cousin Sun Chong, and headed along Zhuque Street towards Mingde Gate in the south of the city.
