His Majesty Li Er wrote a letter and sent it to Tengzhou, and he heard that Li Xiang came to see him. His Majesty Li Er still loves this emperor and grandson very much, who doesn't like a smart and cute child. He asked people to let Li Xiang in, and after a while, he saw a small head poking inside carefully. His ghostly appearance reminded His Majesty Li Er of Li Yuanying.
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help scolding: "Come in as soon as you come in, what are you doing with your head?"
Li Xiang was reprimanded by His Majesty Li Er, and he muttered to himself: Yaoyao hurt me! If you want to do something, you have to check first to find out if the emperor's grandfather is in a good mood, so that he will be scolded before he even opens his mouth!
Whispering to muttering, Li Xiang was not afraid, and rushed to sit next to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er asked, and he immediately told His Majesty Li Er his grand plan eloquently. Among the clan's children, those who were of the right age could not relax, and all of them were sent to Hongwen Hall to study. Since everyone is here to study, you can't just treat everyone equally regardless of their status. No one is allowed to be special. No matter whether you want to be a civilian or a military officer in the future, you have to pass the assessment with others. The dignified descendants of the Li family have the best place to study and the best tutors since they were young. If they can't even compare with the children of ordinary people, then don't dislike the lack of food, just obediently eat and wait to die.
His Majesty Li Er patiently listened to Li Xiang's words, took over the plan that Li Xiang had hurried forward, glanced at Li Xiang, and said, "If you can't compare with your brothers, what should you do?"
Li Xiang is not worried at all: "If you can't beat them, just work harder to catch up with them. If you really can't catch up, I admit that they are better than me. It's great to have a strong brother to help!" The brothers have high expectations, "If they are all good, I will feel comfortable, leave everything to them, and play wherever they like."
His Majesty Li Er: "..."
Looking at it horizontally and vertically, I feel that this kid deserves a beating. It seems that it is better to let him communicate with Li Yuanying less. His Majesty Li Er knew with his toes that the idea of "telling everyone to play together in the East Palace" must have been given by Li Yuanying.
His Majesty Li Er said: "Go back and let me see how your plan is written."
It is enough for Li Xiang to have this sentence, if he didn't say no, it means there is a door! The lively and cute Li Xiaoxiang ran away again.
His Majesty Li Er didn't scold back directly, but naturally agreed with Li Xiang's idea. The Hongwen Museum is so big, it's okay to gather together for the princes, princesses, and clan children to study. It's not a bad thing for the younger generation to get together to play more. As for whether they can learn any real skills, it depends on whether they want to learn or not.
His Majesty Li Er hadn't read the plan that Li Xiang handed over, and someone handed over the crown prince's brochure. The father and son were looking for trouble for him one after the other. His Majesty Li Er thought about it and felt that it was probably Li Yuanying who was playing tricks again. He put aside Li Xiang's plan and asked someone to bring the prince's notebook.
Li Chengqian wrote this book very sincerely, carefully reviewed his mistakes, and thought that he lacked some experience and needed to improve in many aspects. Then he began to write about his mental journey after he became the prince, saying that he was indeed a little passive and slow at work before, and did not actively think about how to be a good prince. Now he has fully realized his mistakes, so since so many brothers have returned to Beijing If someone is filial in front of his father, he, the crown prince, can take the opportunity to go out and walk among the people, understand what the people think and want, and strive to become a prince who can be loved by the people and supported by all officials.
His Majesty Li Er finished reading the brochure, and his face twitched. Looking at Li Chengqian's destination, he naturally knew that it was Li Yuanying's instigation. Last year Li Yuanying tried to let Li Chengqian go to Tengzhou to play. Now he felt that Li Chengqian had been wronged, so he immediately repeated the old story. The prince is not a good one, can it be solved by going out to play
His Majesty Li Er couldn't agree with Li Yuanying's brain circuit at all, and was even somewhat dissatisfied with Li Chengqian. He really didn't think about touching the prince. He recalled a few sons just to see how many people still wanted to attack the prince. One was to temper the prince, and the other was to remove the hidden dangers ahead of time while he was still there.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian himself was not worried at all, and wanted to find Li Yuanying. What drug did Li Yuanying give the father and son? His Majesty Li Er was annoyed for a while, and simply gave Li Chengqian a "yes" to see what use Li Chengqian's trip to Tengzhou would do!
Both Li Chengqian and his son got the approval they wanted, and completely lost the heaviness that was about to come. They each made preparations for the next arrangement. The somewhat stagnant atmosphere in the court was broken by the unconstrained decision of Li Chengqian and Li Xiang, and everyone began to discuss in private: What is the intention of the father and son doing this
Li Xiang summoned all the children of the clan to study in the Donggong Hongwen Library, not even letting the three-year-old children go. What did he want to do by donating his own garden as a "kindergarten"? Do you really want to play a scene of brothers and sisters, or do you want to take the opportunity to hold all the princes and brothers in your hands? This is too ruthless, now that the two countries are restraining each other, they are not happy to take other people's children as hostages! Li Xiang, the eldest grandson of the royal family, has been labeled as "careful and ruthless" in many people's hearts.
Of course, more people think this is the prince's idea, and think that the prince looks generous and benevolent, but his heart is actually quite cruel.
But then news came out that Li Chengqian was going to inspect Tengzhou, and everyone was stunned: Isn't the prince stupid to run out at this juncture
Li Chengqian didn't think he was stupid. He not only wanted to go to Tengzhou, but he also had to pick people from Chang'an who were willing to go to Tengzhou for construction, and go to Tengzhou to exchange a group of talents who had been working for several years. This is what Li Yuanying told him in his letter. Officials are appointed every three or five years. There are many people whose terms have expired on his side that he can pick and use. .
In this exchange of one for one, Tengzhou is actually at a disadvantage! Li Yuanying is not someone who suffers in vain. In his letter, he expresses how reluctant he is and how much he has lost money. He also introduces everyone's abilities and achievements in detail, and asks Li Chengqian not to treat these pillars of the country badly.
Li Chengqian thought that Uncle Yao was so cute even asking for credit for himself. There is no shortage of talents in the East Palace, but this kind of talents who have experienced under the ground and can be independent and govern one side is needed everywhere.
Li Yuanying was indeed at a disadvantage if such a talent was exchanged for one. Li Chengqian was also very serious in provoking people. It took a full month to finally finalize the list for the east tour, and left Chang'an with people in a mighty way.
Li Chengqian's actions naturally did not hide the eyes of others. Some people knew that these people were going to be "exchanged" in Tengzhou, and they felt that Li Chengqian and Li Yuanying were both courageous, and one dared to stuff their own people into the East Palace. , one really dares to accept all the orders. Even if they are not afraid of the other party cheating themselves, aren't they afraid of His Majesty Li Er's suspicion
His Majesty Li Er also knew that Li Chengqian picked someone to "replace", and it was Li Chengqian who told him directly. Li Yuanying had indeed swept away a large number of talents, and now Li Chengqian was going to replace them, and His Majesty Li Er did not object.
As for whether the East Palace will be full of Li Yuanying's people in the future, and whether Li Chengqian will collude with Li Yuanying to rebel, His Majesty Li Er has no such worries for the time being. With Li Yuanying's dog temper, he will never do such a thankless thing as rebellion. .
The dog-tempered Li Yuanying learned that his eldest nephew was coming to play, and immediately forgot the anger of being scolded by His Majesty Li Er, and reluctantly reclassified His Majesty Li Er as a good emperor brother. He called the people under him to hold a mobilization meeting, saying that those who have expired can return to the capital with Li Chengqian, and he did not hide the situation in Beijing, and clearly analyzed the risk of being the prince at this time to everyone.
Everyone has old and young, wives and daughters. They came to Tengzhou perhaps because they wanted to experience the experience or because of the friendship of classmates. Li Yuanying cannot force them to follow with their wealth and life just because they trust him to come to Tengzhou for construction. Stand by yourself. For those who are in the official career, standing on the wrong team will undoubtedly bring disaster!
After Li Yuanying held the mobilization meeting, many people had already made their choices.
Tang Guan and Tang Sui are going to follow the prince back to Beijing, and will unswervingly support the prince when he needs the most employment.
Wu Mei and Di Renjie still decided to stay in Tengzhou. Wu Mei felt that Tengzhou could make the most of her because of her status. Di Renjie didn't want to go back to Beijing to face the family's urging marriage. You can struggle for a few more years before thinking about starting a family!
Others also told Li Yuanying about their decisions one after another.
No matter whether he decides to return to Beijing or decides to stay, Li Yuanying pulls them to have a long talk one by one, asking them to continue to work hard, and no matter where they are, they will do their best to shine for Datang.
After working for a long time, Li Yuanying finally got some leisure. It was already the middle of May, and the weather was very nice. Li Yuanying took Wei Shu to play in the lake, and took a leisurely leisure in the gentle afternoon wind on a painting boat.
When the boat sailed to the middle of the lake, Li Yuanying held the tea and sighed, and said to Wei Shu, "I don't know if I will hurt them by doing this." They didn't have to make a choice so early, because he decided to fully support the prince. At this time, you are faced with a choice.
Wei Shu said: "Under the collapse of the nest, there are no eggs." Since Li Yuanying had already sided with the prince, those who followed Li Yuanying from the beginning had no other choice but to support the prince. Even if they want to choose others, others may not necessarily believe them.
Li Yuanying never fretted for too long, and after chatting with Wei Shu for a while, he stopped being entangled, and asked someone to bring a pipa over with great interest, and he wanted to sing a little song for Wei Shu.
After a while, Wei Shu was so troubled by him that he wanted to gag his mouth.
Li Yuanying was not shy at all, he dared to sing out any words that made people blush, and when Wei Shu was about to beat him, he threw away the pipa with a smile and rushed to kiss and hug his wife.
The waiters retreated tacitly, and they all looked at each other and laughed.
The little prince should be happy and happy.
Li Yuanying was at ease for a long time, and when he returned to the palace, Dai Ting reported that the prince's car should be able to reach Tengzhou tomorrow. Li Yuanying got a good night's sleep that night, and rode a horse to meet his eldest nephew in person early the next morning, and took a look at how the crops along the way were growing.
When Li Chengqian entered the territory of Tengzhou, he no longer took a car, but rode a horse instead, and also took a good look at the scenery along the way.
On both sides of the official road, you can vaguely see many residential houses, and horse-drawn carts and ox carts often pass by on the road. When they see their mighty group, they take the initiative to dodge. Fortunately, the official road is wide enough, even if the two convoys meet, it is not narrow, and the road is unimpeded.
The two sides soon met.
As soon as Li Yuanying saw Li Chengqian, he immediately jumped up and down, looked up and down, and said, "I heard that you were injured last year, so I was worried!"
Li Chengqian got off his horse, took two steps, and turned around to show Li Yuanying that he was fine. He also looked up and down Li Yuanying, who also came off the horse, and said with a smile, "Uncle Yao has grown taller."
Li Yuanying looked complacent: "That's natural, I grow taller every year." He held Li Chengqian's hand and talked for a long time before he remembered that there were so many people coming together, and he greeted Li Chengqian to get on his horse and return to the city.
Everyone knew that Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian's uncle and nephew had a good relationship before they came. Seeing them talking with their hands against the scorching sun, they still felt that they were a little too good. Born in the royal family, can there be such a friendship between uncle and nephew? Many people who came to Tengzhou this time did not really want to defect to Li Yuanying, they all came here for the prince's sake, and finally felt relieved to see the prince and Li Yuanying being so close.
They all have to go outside for experience, where is it not for experience? It is a very good choice to come to Tengzhou!
