Chapter 334: Meaningful
If it weren't for the fact that there was no habit of keeping songs at home, it was indispensable to use singing and dancing strings to help the fun, naturally, these were Zheng Nao's arrangements, as for Han Rui, in the living room, he warmly entertained Li Chengqian, raised his glass and said, "The prince went out of the palace in private, and he was not afraid that the subordinate officials of the East Palace would know about it, and the impeachment would be played." β
"It's okay, I'm leaving the palace today, the reason is above board, even if they know, they will only agree and not oppose." Li Chengqian said with a smile, after getting married, his words and deeds became a little less youthful and became more mature and stable.
A year ago, that kind of naΓ―ve and stubborn atmosphere has faded away, this is Han Rui's credit, in a sense, it is to erase Li Chengqian's surname, but this is also the price of being born into the royal family, enjoying the rare wealth and glory in the world, it is destined to lose a lot, but what is relatively gained, what is lost now, is nothing.
The crown prince, the emperor in the future, don't have to think about it at all, in the world, at least 99.9 percent of the people are willing to exchange identities with Li Chengqian, give up their freedom, everyone is willing, there will be no complaints, anyway, in most people's cognition, as long as he becomes the emperor, he can do whatever he wants, and he is afraid that there will be no freedom.
To put it bluntly, it is still the understanding of responsibility, if Li Chengqian becomes the emperor, history will indeed take another path, but it may also go to the abyss, but it will be a long time later, who would have expected that if you have time, it is better to drink two more glasses of wine, Han Rui held the pot and weighed it, and said with a smile: "What is it, the prince has to go out in person, His Majesty's will, or the queen's order?" Shouldn't it be under the guise of a private visit to the micro-service, to observe the people's feelings, and take the opportunity to come out and have fun. β
"Well, that's a good excuse." Li Chengqian admired and complained: "Before, why didn't you tell me, it caused me to be grounded in the East Palace every day, and if I wanted to come up for a while, I had to work hard to find a reasonable reason." β
Han Rui couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said, "Once or twice a while, it's not a problem, it's too many times, who still believes you." β
"That's true, but I'm also smart." Li Chengqian smiled proudly: "Today is the East Palace Shaozhan Zhang Xuansu, the joy of the full moon of the grandson, Lone naturally wants to go to congratulate, but after leaving the palace, I feel that the hour is still early, and I just came to see you by the way, others should have nothing to say." β
Han Rui chuckled, naturally understanding who this was referring to by the way.
"Governing the book and serving the imperial history, in the matter, Zhang Xuansu?" In the secretary and supervisor in March, Han Rui's biggest gain was that he had a general understanding of the ministers of the imperial court, and Zhang Xuansu was also a famous minister, but he was not a stranger.
Zhang Xuansu is an old minister at the end of the Sui Dynasty, for the Hebei Jingcheng County Hu Cao, when the world is in turmoil, a group of males swarmed, the establishment of the Xia King Dou Jiande, the Xia king, captured Hebei, arrested Zhang Xuansu, treated him as an ordinary petty official, tied up to prepare the flag, but there were more than 1,000 people in the city who asked to die on his behalf.
At the right time, Dou Jiande understood that Zhang Xuansu was a virtuous and talented person, and hurriedly loosened the ties and persuaded him to surrender, and there were many rewards, but Zhang Xuansu regarded himself as a Sui minister, and he did not accept the appointment until Yang Guang was killed, and then Dou Jiande's Xia State was destroyed by the Tang army, and Zhang Xuansu returned to the Tang Dynasty, but his career was not very successful, but he was just a minor official such as a state and county.
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he heard about Zhang Xuansu's reputation, and specially summoned him to consult the way of government.
Now, he has become a concurrently serving as the Shao Zhan of the East Palace, and it can be seen that as Li Chengqian grows up, in order for him to ascend the throne smoothly, Li Shimin began to slowly improve the official system of the East Palace, and moved some loyal and reliable courtiers to the prince's mansion.
Of course, this should be regarded as some kind of signal, even Han Rui, a layman who is not very sensitive to politics, is also vaguely aware that the officials of the court must be clear and thorough, and rejoice, after all, in recent decades, there have been two dynasties of the crown prince, no matter how secretive it is, most officials, even Li Shimin himself, do not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, stability is fundamental.
Li Chengqian nodded happily and added: "There is also a Zhongshu squire, and the scattered rider often serves Zhining. β
This is even more powerful, one of the eighteen bachelors of Hongwen Hall, often learn scriptures with Li Shimin, discuss the way of governing the country, and win trust, a few years ago, the palace set up a banquet, and invited officials above the third grade, and the banquet was halfway, Li Shimin suddenly found that something was wrong, and asked left and right, why didn't he see Yu Zhining coming, and learned that he was a fourth-grade official, and he was not qualified, so he woke up and sighed with emotion: "Yu Zhongmi's merits are high, but he has never invited rewards, so I have forgotten." β
At the moment, the official scattered cavalry and the regular attendant, and gave the Duke of Liyang County, Yu Zhining's reputation was naturally even louder. With the assistance of such two famous ministers, Li Chengqian's position should be relatively stable, and naturally there is a premise, that is, he himself must know how to be motivated and not give people any chances.
Thinking of this, Han Rui reminded and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, as far as I know, whether it is Zhang Zhishi or Yu Changshi, it is similar to Wei Zhizhong, he is used to admonishing and talking, and he is loyal and dutiful, and his requirements for you may be more strict, I hope you are mentally prepared to find fault with them." β
Li Chengqian was stunned, frowned, and said, "It's not so serious." β
"Who made you the crown prince, the future son of heaven." Han Rui smiled: "Words and deeds must naturally conform to the image of the prince in their hearts, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise, they will be irresponsible to the Jiangshan Society, and it is inevitable to write a letter of advice." β
"Don't be afraid." After thinking about it, Li Chengqian said confidently: "It is their duty to advise and correct impeachment, as long as it is really my mistake, I will naturally accept it humbly and follow the good as a stream." β
"That's right." Han Rui said with a smile: "However, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't be able to bear it, after all, it is a contrary word, it is always uncomfortable, and if you listen to it too much, Your Majesty will inevitably have a time to raise a sword and kill people, but in the end, it is a virtuous monarch, and finally woke up, and did not get angry but rewarded, which is another good story." β
"Since my father can do it, so can I." Li Chengqian said, but there was more hesitation on his face.
Han Rui smiled and comforted: "The prince doesn't have to be nervous, think about it, as long as His Royal Highness is virtuous and has no reason, not to mention Yu Chang and Zhang, even if there are other people, there is nothing else to do." β
Li Chengqian came to his senses, almost put the cart before the horse, nodded hurriedly, and said gratefully: "I have been taught." β
"It's good to understand." Han Rui shrugged his shoulders and said self-deprecatingly: "Actually, it's easy to say, it's difficult to do, take me as an example, teach people to be open-minded and tolerant, but unfortunately, I didn't do it myself." β
"You can't say that, I don't think you've done anything wrong, ignore the gossip." Hearing the meaning of Han Rui's words, Li Chengqian was filled with indignation, raised his arms and said: "If you don't find out the people behind the scenes, prove your innocence, and repay your grievances directly, will you have to endure the humiliation?" β
"Well, that's what I think." Han Rui said: "Since I asked my life, I have always treated people kindly, cough, although I have occasionally offended some people, but they are also to blame for themselves, and they can't blame me, but now they are wronged and ruined my reputation, if I don't find out, I'm afraid I will no longer be shameless, facing my father and fellow villagers." β
Li Chengqian thought so, expressed his support with his actual behavior, touched a waist card from his arms, and said solemnly: "Han Rui, if necessary, take the sign to the East Palace, you can mobilize a hundred military guards, cough, there are fewer people, but it should be of some use to attack and kill." β
"I don't need to." Han Rui smiled and waved his hand, and said softly: "Ten thousand rewards, thousands of rangers in Gyeonggi are at their disposal, this is also a bit taboo, but it is still within the scope of the imperial court, if the military guards are mobilized, then the surname quality is different, it is counterproductive, and the impeachment chapter is probably like a snowflake flying, falling in front of His Majesty's case, at that time, no matter who it is, no matter how much you plead, I am afraid it will be useless." β
"Yes." Li Chengqian suddenly realized that Han Rui's private reward was like a civil act, and the call of military guards was a military action, and the surnames of the two were very different, and the reasons were not sufficient, beyond the level of tolerance of the imperial court, and to do so was to kill himself.
"I can solve this matter on my own." Han Rui said with a smile: "The time is almost up, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't set off again, he will miss Zhang Qishi's wedding banquet." β
Li Chengqian looked sideways at the window, and found that the sun was westerly, a little less scorching, and the clouds were like fire, revealing the color of orange and yellow.
"It's so fast." Li Chengqian got up, thought for a while, and happily invited: "Han Rui, if you have time, come with me." β
"Bring gifts, if you don't have an invitation, if you don't invite yourself, you will not only be looked down upon, but most of you will be swept away." Han Rui quipped, but he didn't refuse.
"The gifts are ready, but the invitations are really not." Li Chengqian feigned surprise and said, "What should I do?" β
"It's okay, there are a lot of visitors, let's sneak in, maybe even the gifts are saved, the taste of eating white food, I think it should be good......" Having said that, Han Rui still instructed the servants, prepared a gift, took the opportunity to change clothes, greeted Zheng Nao, went out to meet Li Chengqian, and drove straight to Zhang Xuansu's house.
The reasons can be divided into two, one is that Zhang Xuansu himself is in an important position, and there is no shortage of subordinate colleagues, relatives and friends, etc., and it is normal for him to have distant relatives in the deep mountains, and the second is the reason for Li Chengqian, that is, a few days ago, the emperor appointed Zhang Xuansu as the young Zhan Shi of the prince's mansion, the meaning of which is profound, everyone knows that if the prince ascends the throne, then the officials of the East Palace are the so-called old ministers of the Qiandi, according to the ancient precepts of a son of heaven and a courtier...... Naturally, many people think about it.
