Li Yuanying had had enough fun in Wei Wang's mansion, so he strolled back to the mansion and talked to Wei Shu about the three little bean dings in Li Tai's house. The three are so much fun, wouldn't it be more exciting to go to the Hongwen Museum tomorrow if I have a chance!
Li Yuanying has been used to being the king of children since he was a child. When he sees children, he wants to play with them. After telling Wei Shu about the temperament of the three children, he pulls Wei Shu to look forward to the future: These little dolls must be taught well, and after they are taught, let them take them with them They play with children.
While talking, Li Yuanying became melancholy: "Children still depend on their parents when they are young. When they grow up, they may not like to be with their parents. It is better to find some playmates for them. Alas, thinking that our children will be punished in the future. It’s a little bit reluctant to cheat people away.”
Wei Shu was a little speechless. The child has not been seen yet, and he is actually starting to worry that the child will not stick to his parents!
Wei Shu told Li Yuanying the bad news: "Just now someone from the palace sent over to tell you that tomorrow is the waning sun, so you don't forget to go to court."
Shuowang Day is the first and fifteenth day of each month. During these two days, civil and military officials have to go to court, to deal with the big and small things that happened during this period, talk about things when they have something to do, and listen to them if they have nothing to do.
Except for the Shuowang day, which usually only holds a small court meeting, His Majesty Li Er and Fang Xuanling and the others can have a small meeting together, but the others still have to go to the Yamen, and the time is about the same, every day at sunrise when.
Li Yuanying is not on duty now, but he is a prince, since he is in Chang'an, he still has to attend the court meeting on Shuo Wang Ri.
Li Yuanying didn't even think about it, when he heard that he was going to go to court, he calculated the time, and immediately opened his eyes: "Then I should get up at Yinshi?"
Li Yuanying usually wakes up quite early, but he will definitely not get up before dawn. After all, Tengzhou has a rich nightlife, and it is definitely impossible to go to bed early. Sleep until it is bright and then get up. In fact, if Wu Mei and the others hadn't strongly opposed it, Li Yuanying would have almost changed the Shangya time to Si time when he was in Tengzhou, thinking that it would be more comfortable to start working at Si time.
When it was not his turn, Li Yuanying only thought it sounded very hard. Now when Wei Shu said that His Majesty Li Er had specially sent someone to remind him to go to court, Li Yuanying immediately fainted. He discussed with Wei Shu: "Do you think I can get sick tomorrow?"
It is impossible to get up early, he is still young, he needs to sleep more to grow his body, so don't get up early!
Wei Shu said: "If you are sick, the sage will definitely send an imperial doctor to consult you." At that time, you will be exposed.
Li Yuanying rested early reluctantly, and was called up just after Yinshi the next day. He was being waited on to dress and wash in a daze, feeling that it was a mistake for him to go back to Beijing, and he couldn't feel as comfortable in Tengzhou when he returned to Beijing. Li Yuanying dawdled for a long time, accompanied by Wei Shu, had some breakfast before going out on horseback.
It was still dark outside, only a little white on the horizon. With the sound of drums, the doors of all the workshops were opened, and the number of talents on the street increased. The small vendors who specially provided breakfast for the officials of the upper court to pad their stomachs began to get busy, setting up stalls in designated places diligently. sell.
Li Yuanying met Li Tai first when he went out, then met Li Zhi, and after walking a while, he met Li Ke.
They all belong to the Li family, and they live not far away, so they naturally bumped into each other. Li Yuanying and several nephews went to court together. Looking left and right, he felt that there was a fly in the ointment. He couldn't help but sigh with Li Tai: "Qingque, everyone is not tall, why are you the only one? Brother Mingming and the emperor My sister-in-law is not fat."
Is being fat bothering you? !
Li Tai chuckled, not matching Li Yuanying's tone.
Li Zhi saw that Li Yuanying ran to dislike Li Tai's posture again, and somehow felt that his fourth brother was a bit pitiful.
During this period of time, when he heard his elder brother mention his fourth brother, he didn't feel any fear because he was a descendant of the Li family, but rather contemptuously.
Although the elder brother's every sentence was planning for him, Li Zhi didn't like to listen to it anymore. Even though the fourth brother targeted the elder brother, he didn't treat them too badly for his younger brothers and sisters. Now that Uncle Yao is standing on the elder brother's side, and the elder brother's position as the crown prince is as secure as Mount Tai, Li Zhi feels that there is no need for him to join in the fun. If he wants to fight, maybe he will become the fourth brother in the mouth of his uncle in the future, and he will be regarded as overwhelmed.
Someone must have encouraged the fourth brother to fight back then, right
Now those people have still boarded the fourth brother's door
Li Zhi persuaded Li Yuanying: "Uncle Yao, don't keep running on fourth brother."
Li Tai glanced at Li Zhi, but didn't say anything.
With the palace gate close at hand, everyone dismounted from their horses and asked to have their horses taken to the stables to be served with food and drink. The other courtiers came earlier than Li Yuanying and his party, and it was very rare to see Li Yuanying and the others walking together from a distance.
Li Yuanying had just returned to Beijing, before he had time to visit his relatives and friends, when he saw acquaintances, he immediately abandoned his nephews and ran up to say hello, chatting with this one first, and then chatting with that one, the topic was also chosen very well, they all praised the arrival of the other party’s children After Tengzhou's performance, after boasting this and that, I was busy. Li Yuanying didn't return to his nephew until the drums started to sound in the palace, and entered in order.
After the court meeting started, the atmosphere became more dull. It was the first time that Li Yuanying went to court in a serious manner. He sat in his seat and listened honestly for a while, feeling bored, and began to lean there to take a nap. He is not a middle-aged and elderly person who sleeps little, and it is really unbearable to be woken up early in the morning, and he can't wait to go back and catch up on sleep.
But the court meeting is very long, and it is too embarrassing for him to listen carefully to the whole process!
Li Tai was worried that Li Yuanying would come to harass him again, but Li Yuanying didn't come to chat with him this time, but Li Yuanying sat there sleeping soundly, and even dropped the wat board to his feet. If you listen carefully, you can even hear Li Yuanying snoring!
Li Tai: "..."
Li Tai felt His Majesty Li Er Majesty's eyes sweeping over from time to time, and stayed longer and longer. His conscience was tortured for a long time, and finally he secretly knocked Li Yuanying with the wat board, waking Li Yuanying from his deep sleep.
Li Yuanying fell into a drowsy sleep, and opened his eyes only when he felt someone knocking on him. He took a look and found that the Minister of Rites was still talking non-stop. He couldn't help turning his head to look at the culprit who woke him up, and whispered: "Isn't it over yet? What did you wake me up for!"
Li Tai was angry and regretted that he was nosy.
After waking up, Li Yuanying could only cheer up and listen to the civil and military officials discussing the important affairs of the court, not to mention the uncomfortable feeling. The more he listened, the more he felt that the emperor was really not a human job. It was not until the end of the court meeting that His Majesty Li Er proposed to give Li Yuanying a real job, and let Li Yuanying go to Honglu Temple as an errand.
Honglu Temple has many officials who are proficient in languages of various countries and are mainly responsible for foreign affairs. This is not an important office, and it is quite suitable for Li Yuanying to play. Everyone has no objection, thinking that maybe finding something for Li Yuanying to do, Li Yuanying will stop.
Li Yuanying almost fell asleep again when he heard that His Majesty Li Er was going to give him a job, so he was jolted up and woke up. His first reaction was that conferring a post is equivalent to being an official. Being an official is either going to the court or going to the government every day, and the kind of thing that has to be done every day is miserable.
Li Yuanying immediately raised objections and strongly demanded that His Majesty Li Er withdraw his order.
His Majesty Li Er looked at him: "You don't want to go to Honglu Temple, which yamen do you want to go to?"
Li Yuanying shook his head like a rattle, and said with a straight face: "How can the affairs of the court be child's play, like Qingque they are capable, brother emperor, you can let them do more things, I will forget it, I don't know anything , it is really difficult to take on the big task!"
Li Yuanying said this sincerely, and he didn't force it at all. If you want him to play, he can think of a hundred and eighty ways to play it. If you want him to be serious, just kill him!
Seeing Li Yuanying's self-effacement and serious attitude, the officials immediately felt that Li Yuanying had made great progress in the past few years, and he was no longer as reckless and stubborn as he was back then.
Being promoted to a position is a matter of humility, and everyone didn't think that Li Yuanying really didn't want to take up the post. They praised Li Yuanying for being a childcare competently, and said that there was no more suitable position than Li Yuanying.
The bridal sedan chair people carry people, this time they help Li Yuanying set up the stage, next time Li Yuanying will naturally help them set up, this is the basic principle of officialdom!
Li Yuanying was a little dumbfounded.
Why doesn't he know how powerful he is? These people who praised him have never had any contact with him!
His Majesty Li Er saw that Li Yuanying's eyes were wide open, and he didn't give him another chance to refuse, so he asked someone to draw up an order for Li Yuanying to work in Honglu Temple.
After arriving at the next court, Li Yuanying still didn't give up, and ran to His Majesty Li Er to express that he was still a child and he was not suitable to go to Honglu Temple. After being ruthlessly dismissed by His Majesty Li Er, Li Yuanying's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, feeling that the future is gloomy: "Brother Emperor, you must have done it on purpose. If I had known this was going to happen, I would not have come back."
His Majesty Li Er was amused by him, and reprimanded with a sullen face: "You want to play around, and you don't want to do any serious business, and you don't want to take any responsibility. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
This kid was able to sleep so soundly at the court meeting for the first time in a serious manner, and he obviously wanted to be lazy if he didn't agree to go to Honglu Temple. With such a lazy temperament, I really don't know how he managed to accomplish so many things in Tengzhou!
His Majesty Li Er sent Li Yuanying to report to Honglu Temple, don't hinder him from handling government affairs here.
When Li Yuanying saw that His Majesty Li Er was determined to force him into Honglu Temple and let him take office immediately, he suddenly felt that his life was hopeless. Today, he planned to invite his son-in-law and the others to play in the palace in the morning, and to visit the grandnephews and grandnieces in the Hongwen Hall in the afternoon, but now he has to go to the Honglu Temple, and the plan has all been ruined!
Unwilling to give up, Li Yuanying ran to find Li Chengqian, trying to get Li Chengqian to intercede for him, and asked His Majesty Li Er not to give him a job. Although Li Chengqian felt that Li Yuanying was speechless for refusing to be an errand because he didn't want to get up early, he still agreed to help Li Yuanying to talk to His Majesty Li Er.
It's a pity that Li Chengqian just went to talk about it, and was driven away by His Majesty Li Er.
Li Chengqian could only express apologetically that he was helpless.
Li Yuanying ran to talk to Changsun Wuji and the others, trying to get rid of all the back doors that could be walked, and determined not to let himself become a member of the government who worked hard. He is a majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, isn't it good to just eat, drink and have fun? Why should he get up early every day!
Changsun Wuji was speechless after hearing what Li Yuanying said. He understood why His Majesty Li Er was so relieved of Li Yuanying. This kid didn't even have the slightest ambition to improve himself.
It was the first time he heard that someone didn't want to be an official in the court because he had to get up early every day!
In fact, a prince like Li Yuanying really doesn't need to make progress. It is definitely more satisfying for him to just eat, drink and have fun every day. But seeing the kid try his best to refuse, Changsun Wuji felt that he couldn't be allowed to be so carefree. Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty has already issued an order, Your Highness should do his job well."
Li Yuanying ran away angrily, and then asked several people to help persuade His Majesty Li Er, but the results were very consistent, either being rejected or forced to accept some ideological education.
Especially Kong Yingda.
The little old man scolded him for half an hour, first he said that he was too lazy to take responsibility, and then he said that he was not caring enough for the world and did not want to be loyal and responsible for the country. Work hard and do this job well, don't say that you are his student in the future, let alone that you have studied in the Imperial College!
Li Yuanying: "..."
Li Yuanying ran away angrily, not wanting to talk to these people anymore.
In this world, only the elder nephew is kind to him!
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: You are so rare and strange. In the distant future, there will be many people like me who don't want to go to work! (pointing)
