Chapter 298: The Prince's Wedding
"Is it just a student and not a disciple, I remember what I said, let him worship you as a teacher." Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly.
It's just that Zhang Zheng stopped talking, and the two were silent again. Li Shimin's expression became more and more haggard: "That's it, I'm gone, if you lack anything here, tell me, and I will send someone to send it to you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, there is nothing lacking in the courtiers." …… Li Shimin came and went quickly. But whether he comes or goes, Zhang Zheng doesn't care.
After a simple wash, Zhang Zheng went to bed. Tomorrow is the big exam of the academy, and Zhang Zheng still handed over the task of invigilation to the little fat man Li Tai.
Due to Li Tai's special status now, he is between a student and a gentleman. In order not to let him hit the self-confidence of other students, Zhang Zheng did not let him take the exam.
The big exam lasted for three days, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. After the exam, the students who lived near Chang'an went home one after another.
The academy suddenly became much empty. But there are also some students who are too far away from home to go back, and they still stay in the academy.
Then I soaked in the library all day. Li Chengqian also went back to the East Palace and began to prepare for his wedding. The grand wedding of the crown prince of the dynasty is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Only Zhang Zheng and Li Tai stayed by the grave of old Li Gang as always. Zhang Zheng's question made Li Tai scratch his head.
On June 16, it was an ordinary morning for Zhang Zheng. But for the East Palace and the whole of Chang'an, it is very unusual.
Because on this day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty got married and married the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family as the crown princess. The little fat man Li Tai went back to Chang'an to attend his eldest brother's wedding.
Zhang Zheng was the only one left in the filial piety hall. Speaking of which, the marriage between Li Chengqian and Wang is still Zhang Zhengbao's matchmaker.
In the filial piety hall, Zhang Zheng sincerely arched his hand in the direction of the East Palace: "Happy newlywed, a hundred years of good together." Then he came to Lao Li Gang's grave alone and sat down, and said to Lao Li Gang: "Teacher, Cheng Qian is getting married today." ”
"If you go to the East Palace to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, others may not say anything." A familiar voice sounded in Zhang Zheng's ears.
Zhang Zhengxun's prestige past, it was Zhang Gongjin who he hadn't seen for many days. Zhang Gongjin stood aside, looking at himself with a smile on his face.
"The child has seen his father, why are you here?" Zhang Zheng hurriedly stood up and saluted Zhang Gongjin.
Zhang Gongjin walked up to Zhang Zheng with his hand in his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, I haven't seen you for a long time, I came to see you." ”
"The child is not filial, which makes the father worried." Zhang Zheng said as he ran back to Xiaotang and brought out two small horses.
Zhang Gongjin sat down with a golden knife and looked at the old Li Gang's grave that had been buried for more than two months, and there was still no trace of weeds on the grave.
Some relieved said to Zhang Zheng, who was sitting next to him: "My son has grown up, and I am very relieved." Zhang Zheng pursed his lips and did not reply.
Men always have to suffer some setbacks and blows before they can grow. Zhang Zheng glanced in the direction of the East Palace, then turned to Zhang Gongjin who suddenly appeared here and asked, "Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is married, won't my father go to the East Palace to congratulate." Zhang Gongjin closed his eyes and let the warm morning sun shine on his face.
Squinted his eyes and replied, "Your eldest brother is gone, so I won't join in the fun." Zhang Gongjin sent the eldest son in the family to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his wedding, but he didn't go.
In fact, Zhang Gongjin is not alone. The reaction of the other families was probably similar to Zhang Gongjin's, they all sent people with enough weight in their families to the East Palace, but they didn't go over themselves.
It's just that Zhang Zheng doesn't know. Hearing that his father said that he let the eldest brother pass, Zhang Zheng also figured out why.
Suddenly, he replied, "It's fine." Zhang Gongjin, who squinted his eyes, didn't want to talk more on this topic. After a moment of conversation, he asked the much more mature young son in front of him, "Your Majesty came to see you a few days ago?" ”
"I've seen it, but it's just before the college exam." After speaking, Zhang Zheng quietly waited for his father's next words.
He believed that when his father suddenly asked this question, he couldn't just make small talk with himself. Everything else could be small talk, but about His Majesty, absolutely not.
"Your Majesty, you already know what has been plagued by nightmares for a long time, right?" Zhang Gongjin spoke, but suddenly said something that had nothing to do with him.
"Father means that His Majesty's purpose for coming to the academy has something to do with this?" Zhang Zheng asked in some surprise, but he was only surprised for a moment and calmed down.
Although I don't know what connection the academy has with Li Shimin's nightmare. But now Zhang Zheng's attitude is that it is none of his business and hangs high.
"Kong Yingda gave His Majesty an idea, since monks and Taoists are useless, it is better to come to the academy to see if the scholar's heroic righteousness can suppress the nightmare. His Majesty came to the academy with the attitude of giving it a try, and it did work. After His Majesty returned from the academy, he was born in peace for more than ten days. I thought that the nightmare had been completely suppressed by the Haoran righteousness of the academy. But, the night before it was back. On that day, Your Majesty came to see you, and I guess I also came with the intention of seeing if you have a way to solve this problem. Speaking of this, Zhang Gongjin suddenly stopped.
After Zhang Zheng returned from Lingnan, he went to Hebei to meet Li Shimin. Before leaving, he said: "I hope that Your Majesty will not be afraid that the 300,000 unjust souls will come to Your Majesty to ask for justice." After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he was haunted by nightmares.
It can be described as a prophecy. Although Zhang Gongjin is above the court, many people still inevitably think about it.
People are terrible, even if Zhang Gongjin is a prince of the country, he has to come and ask this little son.
"Father means that anyone thinks His Majesty's nightmare has something to do with children?" After Zhang Zheng listened to Zhang Gongjin's narration, it was naturally not difficult to guess with Zhang Zheng's intelligence that I am afraid that someone had already said bad things about himself in front of His Majesty.
What is this, a man sits at home, and evil comes from heaven? Zhang Gongjin bowed slightly, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a way to solve Your Majesty's nightmare?" Zhang Zheng was silent for a moment and replied: "Yes! ”
"Really, why didn't you tell Your Majesty that day?" Zhang Gongjin's face became serious. Zhang Zheng spread his hands: "Your Majesty didn't ask either." Zhang Gongjin's face sank, and he snorted in his nose: "Huh? Seeing that his father's face became serious, Zhang Zheng subconsciously sat up straight.
explained: "It's not that the child doesn't tell His Majesty, it's just that after the teacher's incident, the child suddenly understands a truth. Loyalty to the king is not as good as loyalty to the country. If the child solves the nightmare for His Majesty privately, wouldn't it be confirmed that His Majesty's nightmare is related to the child? At that time, even if the child jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to wash it. ”
