Chapter 5: Straight in and Straight in the Middle

Li Chengxiu's inaccessible thoughts and practices were undoubtedly naΓ―ve and ridiculous in the eyes of Li Ji and Yun Chu, but neither of them stopped or said something against them.

Li Ji felt that his son needed to be beaten by society in order to continue to grow.

Yun Chu thought that this ridiculous thought was extremely precious and needed constant care.

Therefore, in the early morning, Li Chengxiu once again came to the Chinese army camp where the emperor was, waiting for the emperor to summon him, but this time, Li Si, Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi all accompanied him.

The early dynasty in the field is still solemn, except for the tall and majestic palace, all the conditions for the early dynasty are not lacking.

There are emperors who can decide the fate of the people in the world by holding the sun and the moon in their hands, Wenchen who is as deep and heavy as a white elephant, there are generals who are as fierce as tigers, and there are invincible armies like wolves.

With these four things, even if Li Zhi's early dynasty was opened on a meadow, the whole world should listen attentively.

Li Zhi sat on a blanket with an endless field of wheat about to be harvested in the background.

There were many people attending today's court meeting, and the main topic was to allow those vassal states to follow the emperor to the summit of Mount Tai.

This is a great honor for the vassal state, and the country that can climb Mount Tai with the Tang Emperor will become a country in the true sense of the Tang Dynasty.

Yun Chu sat in the ninth place in the ranks of the emperor's right-hand scholars, and the majesty emanating from the Jinxian crown of the three beams and the purple robe made people ignore his excessively young face compared to his neighbors on the left and right.

That's right, just two days ago, Yun Chu crossed the Duke of Lantian County and became the Duke of Lantian County, if he went further, it would be the highest pinnacle that a minister could reach.

His position has also changed from Chang'an deputy to Chang'an, to Chang'an, however, the position of Wannian County County Commander is still concurrent, and even, for now, this is his main responsibility, as for Chang'an to stay behind, there is also a Liu Renliang, it can be said that as long as Liu Renliang does not die, Yunchu, the Chang'an guard, will always be just a name.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty now have no way to make an accurate positioning of Yun Chu's official position, and no one even knows whether this person is a military general or a civil servant.

Therefore, the situation is worse now, just like a bat, I don't know whether it should be classified as a beast or a bird.

The controversy in the court was extremely fierce, and the Honglu Temple, the main and guest divisions of the Ministry of Rites, and the chief officials of the major metropolitan protectorate offices in Beijing did not want to let go, and they all hoped that the vassal states recommended by their departments could have this glory.

Although they were competing for places for vassal states, the people in charge of arguing were all Tang officials, and no one from a vassal state could see it.

I don't know when these people have not been seen in the Tang Dynasty.

Back then, whether it was the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong, or the Western Regions, or the envoys of the vassal states of Tubo, Tuyuhun, and Nanzhao, they would often appear in the court of the Tang Dynasty.

The envoys of the Tibetan and Liaodong Kingdoms, and the Western Regions were even qualified to stand in the court of the Tang Dynasty to participate in the debate of the Tang Dynasty's state affairs, and the envoy of Songtsen Gampo, Lu Dongzan, even obtained the highest etiquette for drinking with Emperor Taizong after defeating the other five-way marriage proposal envoys.

Now it is not possible, the envoys of the vassal countries can meet the highest diplomat of the Tang Dynasty, Honglu Siqing, for them, it is already a great success in diplomacy, and if they want to meet the prince, Li Hong generally does not have this idle time.

As for seeing the emperor, they don't want such a good thing anymore.

Today's vassal states are insignificant to the Tang Dynasty, and the important ministers of the court are not willing to associate too closely with them, once that day a general reports that he has destroyed another country and sent the monarch to Luoyang to show his merits, everyone looks bad.

For the Tang Dynasty, the real vassal states were the Wa Kingdom and Tubo.

The Tibetans have been migrating westward over the years, and they are even farther away from the Tang border, but there is never a shortage of tribute, and they are becoming more and more abundant every year.

As for the Wa Kingdom, in addition to frantically sending Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty to send tribute, they honestly live on their own islands and do not make any noise that will cause misunderstanding in the Tang Dynasty.

Honglu Temple, the main and guest divisions of the Ministry of Rites and the various protectors are not fighting for the quota of the vassal states to go up the mountain, on the contrary, they are fighting for the yamen where they are located, after all, the number of courtiers who can go to Mount Tai with the emperor is limited, only ninety-nine, taking the meaning of ninety-nine to one.

In the Tang Dynasty, it is easy to find out ninety-nine people who are more famous than Honglu Temple, the main and guest divisions, the chief of the capital and the governor, and the official rank.

Therefore, if these people want to obtain the glory of following the emperor to Feng Chan Taishan, they can only fight the idea of the quota of the vassal state.

Li Zhi was bored listening to this, so he grabbed a few ears of wheat that were about to ripen from the farmland behind him from time to time, kneaded them in his hands, blew off the wheat husks, and ate the sweet green wheat by himself.

After eating a few bites, Li Zhi may feel unappetizing, so he asked Ruichun to bring a small red clay stove, pick some ears of wheat, and roast them on a small stove to eat.

This thing has a taste by yourself, so after eating roasted barley for a while, Li Zhi's mouth will inevitably turn black.

Yun Chu deliberately observed, and no one laughed at Li Zhi's childish behavior, and there was really no one.

Li Zhi himself ate almost all of them, and he would reward the roasted green wheat to the nearby ministers, and Yun Chu was also fortunate to get four or five ears, so there were some people who also ate black lips because of eating roasted green wheat, which was blacker than Li Zhi's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Yun Chu finally understood a truth.

That is, people with high self-confidence do not care about etiquette.

Just like when Taizong was grasping his foot, he discussed with the ministers how to initiate the major event of exterminating the Eastern Turks, which was a sign of confidence.

Finally, when the eunuch Ruichun shouted to retreat, Li Zhi immediately got up, summoned the giant bear guarding in the distance, and plunged into an apricot grove near the wheat field, although it had just entered May, and some of the apricots on the treetops had turned yellow.

Until the next dynasty, Yun Chu didn't understand what the result of their quarrel in Honglu Temple was, but looking at the people in Honglu Temple, they should have the upper hand in this dispute.

Leaving the circle guarded by the emperor's guards, even if he left the emperor's inner palace, Yun Chu raised his eyes and saw Li Chengxiu standing straight on the side of the road in armor.

Compared with Li Chengxiu, who was the same as the punishment station, Li Si, Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi looked much more scoundrels, and the four of them sat side by side on a thick fence, shaking their legs boredly.

The military generals who passed by would take a look at them, but they didn't speak and left.

It's not that these children don't understand etiquette, but because there is a princess Li Si, if you go up to see whom, you don't know who should give the first salute, since this is the case, don't come forward at all.

Therefore, the ministers watched Li Si the most, and then Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi, the three children, as for Li Chengxiu, who was dressed in armor and punished the same station, they didn't look at it, and they always felt that this was an unpopular guard.

When Yun Chu came out with the wat board, he came to Li Chengxiu and said: "We must pay attention to ways and means to do things, and blindly handing over the decision-making power to others is not a good strategy. ”

Li Chengxiu gritted his teeth and said: "There is a difference between respect and inferiority. ”

Yun Chu smiled: "Human nature is connected. ”

Li Chengxiu clasped his fists and saluted: "Please Mr. show me a clear way." ”

Yun Chu looked back at the apricot forest not far away and said, "Just meet by chance." ”

When Li Chengxiu heard this, he immediately looked back at Li Si.

Li Si proudly jumped down from the fence, came to Li Chengxiu and said, "Shout boss, take you to the apricot forest to pick apricots." ”

Li Chengxiu looked at Yun Chu who seemed to be smiling, and decisively said to Li Sishi; "Please make it convenient for the boss."

Li Si raised his hand and patted Li Chengxiu's chest and said, "Quickly take off this armor, don't make yourself like an assassin." ”

Seeing that Li Si agreed, Yun Chu took the wat board and joined the next team and left.

Li Ji stood in the distance and watched for a while, and when he saw Li Si and a group of people surrounding Li Chengxiu, he said to Yun Chu who came over: "Does he know what to ask for in the song?" ”

Yun Chu said: "There is only one Jiang Ziya who has succeeded in straight hook fishing, and it is really not suitable to promote." ”

Li Ji said irritably: "The old man is talking about taking straight and seeking in the song, not fishing." ”

Yun Chu said: "I didn't say fishing, the difference between a gentleman and a villain, Confucius explained in detail." If you set a goal and the goal is friendly, make it first to achieve the goal. ”

Li Jidao: "What about persistence, is persistence worthless?" ”

Yun Chu looked at Li Ji and said, "My teacher is Li Yifu, what do you think Cheng Xiu can learn from me?" ”

Li Ji sighed and said, "This is not right. ”

Yun Chu smiled: "Who will decide?"

Ordinary people cannot understand the views of the saints. They don't even know what the saints think; Even if you know, you can't understand it. In their eyes, anything that is "incomprehensible" is "wrong".

People can only understand what they can accept, and beyond this range, it is easy to give the wrong name and miss out on many good things and beautiful scenery in vain. ”

Li Jidao: "Do you think you are detached?" ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It's far from it, so I never easily draw conclusions about right and wrong, and I am always willing to test the truth through practice, what is practiced is the truth, and what cannot be passed by practice is wrong." ”

"So, you did this experiment with Chengxiu?"

Yun Chu looked at Li Ji and said seriously: "Seeing Your Majesty as soon as possible and getting an answer as soon as possible, isn't it exactly what you want?" ”

Li Ji said angrily: "Chengxiu is not your son, so you don't feel distressed, right?" ”

Yun Chu pointed to Yun Jin, who was following Li Si in the direction of the apricot forest, and said, "My son is also among them. ”

Li Ji lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against me, help this child." ”

Yun Chu said angrily: "I didn't give the bundle, I will help you worry about your son's affairs, and I want me to help him wholeheartedly, send the bundle first, and bring the tea to the teacher." ”
