Chapter 541: Dali Temple, Di Renjie
On the eighth day of September, Li Xuan's wedding was only one day away, but many guests had already begun to arrive.
In front of the gate of King Peng's Mansion, Ouyang Youming and Li Chongjing stood on both sides of the gate to welcome guests.
The guests were quickly ushered into the main hall, and after meeting and greeting Princess Peng, Ouyang and Li Xuan, they were ushered to the guest room to rest.
Li Xuan's maternal family, starting from his maternal grandfather Ouyang Xun to his uncle Ouyang Tong, has always been a Confucian scholar in the dynasty and has a wide range of contacts.
Especially Ouyang Tong is now serving as Weiwei Siqing, and there are many colleagues and friends, and Ouyang Youming needs to receive him when he comes to the door.
As for Li Xuan's own family, the royal family, naturally they can't let the princes come forward, and ordinary people are not qualified enough, so they can be greeted by Li Xiaoyi, the eldest son of Li Xiaoyi, the prince of Liangjun, and Li Chongjing, the eldest grandson of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an.
Li Xuan has many colleagues and friends in Qianniuwei Jinwuwei, and Li Chongjing is now the right Qianniuwei to join the army, and it is also appropriate for him to come forward.
Li Xuan stood in the atrium, just sent the eldest princess of Huainan, Princess Qianjin, Princess Dongyang and Princess Linchuan, and the four princesses to the main room in the backyard, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Li Xu, the son of King Huo, Li Ne, the son of King Han, and Li Jing, the heir of King Zheng, arrived together.
After these people were properly placed, Qin Jun, Duan Huaichang, Su Baotong, Zhang Huan, Zhou Qian and a large number of other people also hugged each other and came together.
"According to the general's military order, my subordinates will wait for these few days, and let the prince arrange it." Zhou Qian and a group of red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniuwei stood in front of the courtyard of the central hall, holding back a smile and seriously bowing their hands to Li Xuan.
"Thank you, General, and thank you, brothers." Li Xuan returned the salute with a smile, looked at Qin Jun, and said, "After lunch, Brother Jing took all the brothers to the Prime Minister's Mansion to greet him, and the money used for the welcome has already been wrapped."
"Twenty-seven Lang, don't worry, Brother Fool has arranged everything for you." Qin Jun patted his chest and promised, and then beckoned to everyone: "Come with me, let's go to the back garden, where it is the quietest."
Everyone bowed their hands to Li Xuan, and then went to the back garden together with a smile.
Li Xuan sighed lightly, looked sideways at Yu Ze who was following him and said, "After serving in Zuo Qianniuwei for many days, this king can be regarded as having some connections, and Brother Beiping, as well as General Wang, treat this king well."
Li Xuan, the general of the school Zuo Qianniu Weizhonglang, should have been dismissed when he arrived in Chang'an.
Although there are reasons for the emperor to take care of it, it is also a fact that Zuo Qianniuwei has no one to hinder him, so he has stayed until today.
"The prince's connections are not weak, look, Dali Temple is coming." Yu Ze pointed to the door, and the Dali Temple, who had not seen him for a long time, walked in from the main entrance.
However, he did not come alone, he was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a black robe.
The middle-aged man was thin, with a solemn complexion and two delicate mustaches on his lips.
A pair of small eyes blinked, and there seemed to be a different temperament, which was particularly attention-grabbing.
"Brother Ho!" Li Xuan solemnly bowed his hand to He Yiqiu, and then said, "I should have come to visit the door a few days ago, but there has been something going on, and I can't pull away, please understand."
"The prince is polite, the things that the prince sent to the mansion are very valuable, and He has nothing to repay, so he can only come to the door to be driven." He Yiqiu also returned the salute, and then, he and Li Xuan laughed calmly at the same time.
"Brother He, this one, please?" Li Xuan looked at the small-eyed middle-aged official who came with He Yiqiu.
"A native of Jinyang, Di Renjie, is now serving in Dali Temple." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Xuan's eyes widen in surprise, but Li Xuan immediately came back to his senses and said with emotion: "It turned out to be Brother Huaiying, when I picked up Mr. Zi'an outside Luoyang City that day, Brother Huaiying seemed to have just left, and he was only one step away......
"Huaiying has seen the king!" Di Renjie was solemn and upright, and said to Li Xuan slightly: "Brother Zi'an Xian has written many times, saying a lot about what the king did in Wuzhou, and nothing else, but the matter of erecting the Yonghui Monument really made the officials admire, and also made many colleagues admire."
Hearing Di Renjie say this, Li Xuan didn't care that he was Di Renjie, and hurriedly asked, "Dali Temple already knows about this matter?"
"Dali Temple, Criminal Department, Your Majesty, everything you should know, you know." Why do you want to stretch out your hand, and the three of them go in together.
After entering the inner wing, He Yiqiu continued: "However, Zhang Weng and Pei Shangshu of the Criminal Department have suppressed this matter, just like the prince did, this matter should not be rushed."
"That's fine." Li Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't plan to publicize the matter of erecting the Yonghui Monument at all.
Even when he returned to Chang'an, he didn't have the slightest intention of telling Emperor Wuhou, and he didn't even mention it to Li Xian.
"In fact, everyone plans to follow the example of the prince, and when they serve in one place, they will build a monument in one place, and when the officials of Dali Temple serve in the entire Tang Dynasty states and counties, then the matter of Yonghui Monument will be completed." Di Renjie's words made Li Xuan couldn't help but be surprised.
This kind of thing, once it can really be done, will have a huge impact on the entire Tang Dynasty and the opposition.
Or even some kind of ideological revolution.
Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This king originally planned to do this little by little, even if it takes a lifetime to complete, but now with your help, maybe before this king can see this scene."
When he tried to forcibly push this thing forward, it hadn't moved, and the endless pressure had already fallen on him.
And when he was ready to do it silently, countless people saw his approach and were ready to follow suit.
This feeling is really shocking.
"Huaiying, you have to remember that our king of Nanchang is best at keeping a low profile." He Qiu looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "If it weren't for Zhang Weng and Huang Shaoweng asking me to congratulate me this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that the relationship between the prince and Huang Shaoqing is so deep."
"Xiao Wang and Huang Shaoqing were just a few encounters back then, in the early years, when he passed through Pengzhou, he was curious about the waterwheels in many places in King Peng's fiefdom, so he communicated with this king a little." Li Xuan sighed softly and said, "Who would have thought that the envoy of Dushui who went to Tubo back then would have sat in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
Huang Rensu, the former water messenger of the capital, is now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
When he went to Tibet, he had the intention of letting Huang Rensu spy on the geography of the mountains and rivers in Tibet, and it seems that he has achieved something.
Only then did he accumulate merit and was promoted to the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"The king also had the opportunity to sit directly on the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but the prince forgot?" Why did he look at Li Xuan with some amusement.
In Di Renjie's surprised eyes, Li Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's just the momentary words of the queen of heaven, how can you count."
"But the prince has now inspected the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple." He Qiu's voice suddenly lowered, and then he said, "The saint has no intention of removing the prince at all, the young master of the Honglu Temple."
In the entire Chang'an political arena, leaking is like opening a window directly and letting people peek at close range outside the window.
I can't hide any news.
Li Xuan's resignation from the post of inspector Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang seems to have been known to the vast majority of people unconsciously.
"That's all in the future, no one knows how the saint arranged it, the most important thing now is to handle the affairs of Wuzhou, that is the king's job." Li Xuan saw all this very clearly, and he was extremely calm.
Before returning to the main gate, he saw his cousin Zhao Gong walking in with a tall middle-aged official with an elegant appearance, a short beard, a cyan water ripple robe, and bright eyes.
Wu Chenghei, Zhou Guogong, secretary and supervisor, the son of Wuhou's brother, is more vicious and ruthless than Wu Sansi.
Li Xuan's face suddenly stepped forward with gentleness: "Uncle, Zhou Guogong."
"Your Majesty." Wu Chengsi saluted very solemnly, and his face was solemn.
"Da Lang doesn't have to be so polite, it's all his own family." Zhao Gong nodded with a smile and said, "You take me and Feng Xian for a spin, it's almost noon, after lunch, Feng Xian has to go back to the value, and then it's tomorrow."
Wu Chenghei, the word Fengxian, is the same word as Lu Bu.
"Obey, Brother Feng, please!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand, and Wu Chengsi said kindly, "It's better for the prince to ask ...... first Otherwise, my cousin will go first."
Li Xuan and Wu Chengsi both looked at Zhao Gong at the same time.
Zhao Gong is the son of the aunt and nephew of the Wuhou clan, and in terms of seniority, he is also the cousin of Wu Chenghei.
"You guys!" Zhao Gong took the lead to leave, Li Xuan very frankly first took Wu Chengsi to meet his mother Ouyang family, and then met the eldest princess of Huainan and the princess of Qianjin, and then Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, the prince of Han, the prince of Huo and a series of clan relatives.
"Shiro, please take a seat, and have a drink or two later." Li Xuan bowed his hand to a tall and thin young man with a slightly pale face, and then took Zhao Gong and Wu Chengsi out of the side room.
Only at this time did he introduce in depth: "Xiao Xian is the youngest son of Xiao Rui, the Duke of Song Guogong, and now serves as the commander of Xunyang County."
"No wonder." Zhao Gong immediately understood that most of the people Li Xuan took Wu Chengsi to see were polite on the surface, and they didn't have much real affection for Wu Chengsi, only Xiao Xian's attitude was very eager.
However, when he heard that Xiao Xian was an ordinary state and county magistrate, Zhao Gong didn't have much interest, but Wu Chengsi chatted with Xiao Xian with great interest.
The Lanling Xiao family is also a famous family in the world, and Xiao Xian's mother is the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong, Princess Xiangcheng; Her grandmother was the daughter of the Dugu family, and her aunt and grandmother were Yang Guang's queen Xiao that year.
Li Xuan took a few steps forward, then pushed open a door and introduced everyone in the room to Wu Chenghe: "This is Brother Zhenghe of Dali Temple, this is Brother Cheng Di of Dali Temple, Brother Huaiying is from Taiyuan, and he is very close to Wenshui."
"Wu Chengsi has seen Brother He, Brother Di, Brother Lai." Wu Chengji greeted everyone gently, but he looked at Di Renjie at a glance.
"Brother Feng Xian wants to have a few more drinks tomorrow!" Li Xuan stood at the door, watching Wu Chengsi wave his hand and leave with a gentle voice.
Then he re-entered the compound, looking at Yu Ze who was waiting on the side, Li Xuan sighed helplessly and said, "I finally threw this sticky plaster down."
"The prince seems to be deliberately leading him to meet Xiao Xian and Na Di Renjie?" Yu Ze's voice sounded in Li Xuan's ears.
"This king is just helping him build a platform, as for how far he can go in the end, it is up to him." Li Xuan turned around and left, without saying anything more.
Yu Ze, who had always known Li Xuan very well, immediately understood that Li Xuan was digging a pit for Wu Chenghe.
If Wu Chengsi really accidentally fell in, then although it would not be said to be unlucky to the end, it would be enough to disappoint Empress Wu.
Di Renjie is the Cheng of Dali Temple, Wu Chenghei is prone to accidents if he makes a mistake, but what is wrong with Xiao Xian.
Yu Ze was a little puzzled, and besides, can Di Renjie's small body withstand this kind of wind and rain?
Li Xuan didn't look back, but smiled secretly in his heart.
In fact, few people know that in this world, the one who admires Di Renjie the most is the Empress Wu.
