After leaving the palace gate, Li Chengqian took four guards to wander aimlessly around the various markets in Chang'an City, just to hear what the people of Chang'an City thought about his wine-making matter.

I heard something, these days, I can arrange the affairs of the emperor's family, it is the fun of the people after tea and dinner. But what surprised him was that along the way, whether it was a peddler or a beggar begging on the street, he talked about his large-scale purchase of grain and wine, and they were all smiling jokes.

For this reason, he bought some steamed buns and put them among a bunch of beggars, and asked: "I just heard you talk about the prince's waste of grain and wine, don't you think it's a pity, if this grain can be distributed to you, how can it not make you hungry?" ”

"You're so rude." The older beggar said, "Why do we give us other people's things, we are hungry, we are incapacitated, what do we have to do with others?" ”

After speaking, the beggar also took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand.

He listened to Li Chengqian's words, what a tough remark, smiled, Li Chengqian continued: "Look, isn't this just for you? To ......"

Before he finished speaking, the beggar who had just swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth said: "The master is in trouble now, you gave the master a steamed bun, and the master remembers your kindness." As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, of course he is willing to give it to me, and I am not stupid, he can ask for it if he doesn't give it to me, isn't there no chance to meet it?

However, just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't given me yet, you can't say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not good, isn't that right? He didn't spend one of my eldest sons on wine, people's own money, they can spend it as much as they want, if they really violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, naturally his emperor Lao Tzu will clean him up, what does it have to do with a group of us who ask for food? ”

"My brother is right, if others are willing to give, we will take it, that is a good heart, if you don't give it to us, you will find a way to find food by yourself, and you can't blame others." Another beggar was also eating steamed buns and shouting.

The other beggars also nodded, if it weren't for the steamed buns in their mouths that they hadn't swallowed, they probably would have to say a few words.

And their few words really shocked Li Chengqian.

After careful consideration, he finally had a preliminary understanding of the Tang Dynasty.

No blowing, no black, the Tang Dynasty was indeed an open, inclusive, and eclectic era.

This is not a top-down gesture, on the contrary, it is a kind of confidence from the bottom up, or a pride after a thousand years of civilization.

No matter how much he tossed in the East Palace, and no matter how sad the civil and military officials in the court were about his behavior.

But the people of Chang'anfang City have no complaints about what he has done except envy, even if some of them are hungry, but Li Chengqian is wasting food and making wine wantonly, maybe in their eyes, wine is useless except for greedy for momentary pleasure.

But even so, Li Chengqian still didn't hear any complaints.

The reason is simple, because this is a proud time.

People disdain to pin their hopes on other people's alms, they want to rely on themselves, as for whether others waste food and make wine, or drunk gold, for them, after all, it is just a story to brag about after dinner.

As for other people's extravagant lives, in their opinion, it is either that people have worked hard themselves, or that their ancestors have worked hard, no matter who it is, isn't the purpose of their efforts to make themselves, their children and grandchildren, live a better life?

It's okay to be envious, but it's not right to be resentful.

This is the mind of Datang people, and it is also their pride.

"Taught." With an arch of his hand, Li Chengqian got up and left.

As soon as he walked out, the guards who had been protecting him all along also followed.

"Liu San, are the people of Datang like this?" Li Chengqian asked.

Liu San, one of the four guards, was originally the third in the family, and his father simply gave him such a name.

"yes, it's all like that." Liu San was a little dazed, is there anything wrong with this?

Li Chengqian nodded and did not speak.

Most of the civil and military officials in the court felt that their actions were not good for the country, and one or two were working hard to write about their impeachment, and in the eyes of these ordinary people, this did not seem to be a big deal.

Perhaps this is the so-called not being in his position, not seeking his own government.

With a wry smile, Li Chengqian said: "Also, Ashina Simo was captured and surrendered last year, and now he has become the king of Huaihua County, this damn Tang Dynasty is really tolerant of everything......

Suddenly, he was a little irritable, just the inclusiveness of the Tang Dynasty, but as long as he crossed was not the prince, how could he think about running away before he was mixed up in this land?

Just when Li Chengqian sighed about this.

The mansion of Li Ke, the king of Shu, is quite lively at this time.

Li Ke, Li Shimin's third son.

Because his mother is Concubine Yang, the princess of the former dynasty, this also makes him, who has the blood of the two dynasties, naturally become the object of the close relationship of those old men of the previous dynasty.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, this is a good opportunity." Someone said.

Although these relics of the former dynasty did not say that they wanted to reproduce the Sui Dynasty, it was indeed appropriate to support Li Ke, who had the blood of the previous dynasty.

Li Ke was actually happy in his heart.

Although this little thing will not make Li Chengqian deposed, it is indeed a good opportunity for Li Chengqian to reduce his points.

As the saying goes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Of course, I thought so in my heart, but there was no show on my face.

Don't look at Li Ke is only thirteen years old this year, but he grew up in the emperor's family since he was a child, and his heart city is by no means comparable to the thirteen-year-old children of later generations.

"What chance is not a chance, the prince is just an occasional loss of morality." After Li Ke finished speaking, he commanded, "Don't do too much, just do our own thing, you are not officials." ”

When a few old people heard this, they immediately understood.

Not only is this the case in Li Ke's mansion, but also in the mansion of Li Tai, the king of Yue, a similar scene is also being staged.

Li Tai was already favored by Li Er, and he himself was indeed a little talented, and he also had a large group of people around him.

This gave him the idea that he could not replace him.

This time there was such a big mistake in the East Palace, he wanted to see how his prince brother would end up at that time.

At the same time, there are many people who are pondering the recent behavior of the East Palace, and at this time, the civil and military officials of Manchang are either working hard to write a book, denouncing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for spending food and greedy for pleasure, or they are paying attention to every move of the East Palace.

No way, this is the importance that everyone attaches to the prince.

By the time Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, Chang'an City was already surging with undercurrents, and there was quite a smell of mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.
