Chapter 208: Prince Li Chengqian
On the aisle leading to the Ganlu Hall in the Tang Palace, a young man was walking unhurriedly, but the walking posture was a little weird, his body was high and low, shaking and shaking, and if he looked closely, his right leg seemed to have some problems. Could it be that I sprained my foot, but why didn't I see any pain on my face?
Of course not, because he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian. That's because he has a leg problem.
Walking on the road, occasionally encountering those eunuchs or palace maids who hurried towards them, those people immediately stood in place, and then respectfully saluted Li Chengqian. However, in the face of these people's salutes, Li Chengqian acted as if he had never seen them, and he didn't even say a word of "En", and his face was full of cold taste.
And every time Li Chengqian walked by, those eunuchs and palace maids flashed a look of amnesty on their faces. Then, like a small antelope escaping from the tiger's mouth, it fled quickly.
When he came to the door of the Ganlu Palace, Li Chengqian did not enter immediately, but stood there, looking at the Ganlu Hall in a daze, and then, a very complicated look flashed on his face. In the end, it seems that I finally mustered up the courage to go inside.
"Sons visit their fathers"
When he came to Li Shimin, Li Chengqian immediately saluted very formally, a trace of worry and horror flashed on his face, and what was even more shocking was that there was even a kind of indifference. With that, he stood there motionless.
"The prince is here, did he visit your queen mother today?"
Hearing Li Chengqian's voice, Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, and then raised his head and said to Li Chengqian. For Li Chengqian, Li Shimin has always been called the crown prince, not like other princes, who are called nicknames or milk names. As a sign of respect for the crown prince. Elevate the status of the crown prince. In this way, I remind others that this is the prince recognized by him Li Shimin. Of course, he also reminded Li Chengqian all the time that he was the prince, so he should have the appearance of a prince.
"Before I went to the queen mother's place, the sons heard that their father had summoned them, so they came to the Ganlu Hall first. I'll go and say hello to the queen mother later. ”
Hearing Li Shimin mention Empress Changsun, Li Chengqian's words were more, and his eyes also revealed a deep affection, which made Li Shimin's heart both relieved and helpless and gloomy.
Speaking of this prince. In many aspects, he is not good enough, but only in this aspect of filial piety, it is absolutely unmatched. No matter whether it is windy or rainy, the weather is cold and freezing, or Li Shimin gives him a busy errand. He would go to the Lizheng Palace to visit Empress Changsun without moving. Ten years is like one day, every day. Even if he is sick, if Empress Changsun does not go to the East Palace to explain, he will definitely go to the Lizheng Palace.
One of the most shocking. It was because he was seriously infected with the wind and cold, but he insisted on going to the Lizheng Palace, but once he arrived at the Lizheng Palace, he couldn't hold on any longer. Passed out.
It's a pity that this filial piety is just for the eldest grandson queen alone. Li Shimin rarely has this kind of treatment. It's better when he was a child, in the past two years, unless he was summoned by Li Shimin, he wouldn't have come to the Ganlu Hall at all. In this regard, Li Shimin's heart was extremely helpless and sad.
He knew that Li Chengqian was afraid of him, and in Li Shimin's opinion, it was all because he was too strict with the prince on weekdays. But what can be done about this, if you don't have strict requirements for the prince, how can he become a qualified prince, and how can he become a qualified king in the future.
"Well, my father asked you to come here this time, because I have a very important business to give you. Have you heard of the chaos that caused the Guozijian last time? ”
Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian had no intention of staying here longer, so he directly opened his mouth to get down to business.
"Erchen heard about it"
Li Chengqian still knows about that matter. It's just that he listened to his uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji, talk to him about it. also gave him an analysis of the hidden situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't really care about these things, even though he was the nominal person in charge of the whole thing.
"Well, opening 10,000 schools, and then allowing people all over the world to study, is a major event that will work for thousands of years, and it is also the most important thing at the moment. And the prince, as the person in charge at this time, must do your duty with all your heart and do a good job in this matter. The last time it happened, it was a complete accident. However, because of what happened last time, it also brought some trouble. Thankfully, it's business as usual. ”
"To run 10,000 schools, so that the people can read and read this important thing, pinyin is a very critical step. The accident of the last Guozijian delayed this matter for a long time. Thankfully, it's business as usual. Let you come this time, is to let you and the King of Shu lead the students, to the craftsman village to learn this pinyin, and after you learn well, and then come back to teach more students, and then, let these students, the pinyin method of learning words, to the whole world. ”
"This matter is very important, so I will leave it to you to handle, how about it?"
Li Shimin simply explained what the so-called matter was to Li Chengqian. What's more, it is a statement that the importance of this matter makes him pay attention to it. The reason why Li Shimin made such a special confession was that he was afraid that Li Chengqian would mess up the matter. If the crown prince was like Li You, the king of Shu, Li Shimin would not have to explain so deliberately.
"The child obeys."
Hearing Li Shimin say this, Li Chengqian's face showed a look of sorrow, but he still accepted the order. Even if he didn't want to, what could he say. In addition to being reprimanded, the final result has to be complied with.
"Well, I believe you can handle this matter. Alright, you go down first. Tomorrow morning, we will set off for the craftsman village, remember not to be late. ”
"Yes, the retainers are retiring"
As Li Chengqian said goodbye, he really walked out quickly. From beginning to end, Li Shimin said a word, and he responded to it, and there was no superfluous word.
"Qian'er, you look like this, what should your father do. If you are more angry, why should I be so embarrassed and helpless, father. ”
Looking at Li Chengqian's back when he went out, Li Shimin's eyes revealed a kind of look that only a father has. However, soon his face was full of sadness.
"Maybe this time, it won't necessarily be good for you to let you go to the craftsman village. It's just that in this way, I have to bother the fourth brother again. Maybe, the fourth brother can really make Qian'er change. When others teach the prince, they may have scruples because of the identity of the prince, but the fourth brother will not, hehe"
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Shimin's face immediately showed a smile, and his eyes were full of infinite expectation.
Originally, let Li Chengqian come this time, his main purpose was to explain to Li Chengqian, after going to the craftsman village, he must put down the prince's shelf and put away his past temper. But later, an idea suddenly appeared, that is, let the prince go to the craftsman village to endure hardships, and maybe there would be unexpected gains.
After all, Li Shimin still loves Li Chengqian, the eldest son, very much, and in any case, he is unwilling to do anything to abolish the prince unless he has to. Even if such a voice is getting louder and louder in the court now, and there are more and more people criticizing the prince, he has always been suppressed.
It is said that after Li Chengqian was in addition to the Ganlu Palace, a burst of relief flashed on his face at first, but then he began to frown again, with a look of embarrassment and disgust on his face.
Walking on the way to the Lizheng Palace, Li Chengqian's steps were obviously much faster than going to the Ganlu Hall before, and it seemed that this pace was much easier.
And when he came to the door of the Lizheng Palace, a smile appeared on his very indifferent face, but it quickly disappeared again. However, even so, his expression was much better than before, at least not as scary as before.
When he came to the Lizheng Palace, he walked in directly, and those eunuchs and palace maids, seeing that it was the prince, also saluted him one after another, and surprisingly, he actually raised his hand and waved it. Look at that meaning, it is to let those people not be polite. And those eunuchs and palace maids also seemed to understand what he meant, and they were all in place one by one.
That's right, they do get used to it. Although this prince never said anything to them, he either nodded slightly or waved his hand. However, this treatment made them flattered. In the entire palace, the only people who can enjoy the prince's treatment like this are those who are on duty in the Lizheng Palace.
When Li Chengqian walked into the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun was sitting there, watching her son play chess with Li Zhi with a loving smile on her face. And the son and Li Zhi stared at the chessboard very seriously, but the little son was full of smiles, while Li Zhi had a sad face.
If you look closely at the chessboard, you can see that you are playing tiger chess. And the chess pieces that represent human chess and tiger chess are really made into villains and tigers, which are vivid and very good-looking.
The little son plays human chess, while Li Zhi plays tiger chess. On the little son's side, ten villains are a lot, and the two tiger chess on Li Zhi's side have been locked up in the tiger prison, and they only need one or two steps, and they will definitely be driven to one side by side, and if they lose the chess, no wonder he has a bitter face.
Looking at the scene in front of him, a more complicated look flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, and then he stood quietly not far away, as if he was recalling something, and Empress Changsun watched her son and Li Zhi play chess seriously, and did not notice Li Chengqian's arrival.
"Queen Mother"
After a long time, Li Chengqian finally stepped forward slowly, and shouted softly at Empress Changsun, as if he was afraid that it would be too loud and scare Empress Changsun.
"Qian'er is here, hurry, sit down, I'm tired of coming so far. Someone, hurry up and serve tea to His Royal Highness the Prince"
Hearing Li Chengqian's voice, Empress Eldest Sun raised her head, said to Li Chengqian with a smile on her face, and then ordered her subordinates to serve tea.
"Son, I've seen the prince's brother"
"Pheasant slave, meet the prince's brother"
The son and Li Zhi also hurriedly got up at this time to salute Li Chengqian, but the little son was smiling, while Li Zhi was a little flustered. Obviously, he was very afraid of this big brother with a somewhat indifferent face.
"Well, my son's sister, and the ninth brother is exempt"
Li Chengqian then said to his son and Li Zhi with a calm face.
