The more Li Yuanying thought about it along the way, the more he felt that his eldest nephew had failed in his studies. Before Li Chengqian had a chance to submit the article, he went to complain to His Majesty Li Er himself.
His Majesty Li Er had just heard a report about Li Yuanying and his party going out to play in the sunflower garden earlier, and was waiting to send someone to ask them where they went and whether they did anything bad, but Li Yuanying bumped into him himself. Hearing his complaint again, Chengqian actually cut a big piece of his boss's meat and made him full!
His Majesty Li Er was amused: "Chengqian will cut it for you and you will eat it all, so obedient?"
Li Yuanying said: "That's not Sizi saying 'Uncle Yao, can you really eat it all'? Of course I want to say yes, a man can't say he can't!"
His Majesty Li Er looked at his short stature, meaning "you can be considered a man like you".
Li Yuanying snorted, "Anyway, I think he's learned badly!"
His Majesty Li Er knew that this kid looked shameless, and he wanted to save face in front of Sizi and the others, so he was very happy. He calmly exposed Li Yuanying's lie earlier: "Didn't you say you were going to the sunflower garden? Why did you start dividing the flesh again?"
When Li Yuanying heard it, he realized something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more angry he came to sue Qian. He even forgot to eat the whole roasted cow by himself. Li Yuanying immediately said: "I suddenly remembered that I still have to go to the teacher's side, let's go first!" After speaking, he did not wait for His Majesty Li Er to speak, and slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet!
His Majesty Li Er let him run away, and only asked where Li Chengqian and his party had gone after the person who had gone out to inquire came back. Chengqian and the others are all his direct children, and he doesn't have much time to teach them, so he can't let them mess around.
After the person who heard the report finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er rubbed the center of his brows and waved his hand to make people retreat. As soon as he heard about roasting whole cows and fighting elephants and horses, His Majesty Li Er knew that some bastard had come up with the idea, but Cheng Qian even helped him find elephants and buy cows, what a bastard!
Luckily, Chengqian was quite sensible, he didn't let Sizi and the others ride on the back of the elephant, he only took them to stand on a high place to watch. If Sizi and the others had any accidents, His Majesty Li Er felt that he would really strangle that bastard to death!
The fourth child is more worry-free, and reads and writes books in the mansion every day. When I look at my son, of course, the more I look at him, the cuter he becomes. Even the chubby figure feels round and blessed. Since His Majesty Li Er thought about it, he asked someone to bring Li Taixuan into the palace to see him. The father and son sat down and chatted for a while to relax. .
Li Tai was asking Xiao Deyan for advice at the mansion, he heard His Majesty Li Er calling him, so he said goodbye to Xiao Deyan and went into the palace. Because he was fat, His Majesty Li Er also allowed him to take the shoulder car directly to the outside of the palace when he entered the palace, without him having to walk many steps by himself.
Along the way, Li Tai was thinking about what his father summoned him to do, whether it would be sooner or later, could it be something important? No matter what the reason was, Li Tai was still scratching his head thinking about what he had done recently and what books he had read, so that he could talk about it in front of his father. The emperor likes to hear him say these things the most!
As soon as Li Tai arrived, His Majesty Li Er asked him to sit down, and really asked him what he was doing recently and what books he read. Hearing Li Tai enthusiastically talk about literature, His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, and encouraged Li Tai for a while, and then he mentioned to Li Tai that Li Yuanying took his son and the others out to mess around, and scolded Li Chengqian casually.
After hearing this, Li Tai said: "Uncle Yao and the others are still young, it's normal to like to play and make trouble, but it's strange if they don't like to play and make trouble."
His Majesty Li Er nodded, and after chatting with this beloved child, he gave him some treasures, and once again devoted himself to the ocean of government affairs.
Li Tai went out of the palace, found someone close to him and ordered him to find out what Li Chengqian and his party did in the eastern suburbs today, and see if there was anything that could be used to make a fuss about.
Although he intends to fight for the crown prince, he can't let people stare at Li Chengqian all the time. After all, his biggest advantage right now is his father's preference. If Li Chengqian makes the matter public before he makes a mistake, he will definitely lose this advantage! But if Li Chengqian did something he shouldn't do, the situation would be different! Li Tai and his confidants elaborated on what His Majesty Li Er mentioned, so that they would have a direction to investigate.
On the second day, Li Chengqian hadn't found a chance to submit the article. During the court, some people had come forward to impeach the prince for neglecting his studies and indulging in entertainment.
This is an old topic. In the past few years, many people have pointed at Li Chengqian's nose and scolded this. People engage in "Elephant and Horse Wars", and a little carelessness may cause innocent people to be killed or injured. All court meetings were spent attacking Li Chengqian.
What's more terrible is that these people are not only those who are biased towards the kings, but also the prince's own teacher Zhang Xuansu and others.
His Majesty Li Er didn't feel too bad when he heard about Li Yuanying's troubles yesterday. He likes a few elephants and a few tigers. Isn't it normal for a son to look like Lao Tzu? He didn't expect that the next day when he went to court, there would be such an uproar. He heard that Chengqian had done something utterly devoid of conscience!
His Majesty Li Er was helpless by the excitement of a group of courtiers, and looked at Li Chengqian who was silently sitting at the head of the kings. Li Chengqian is obediently being scolded here, but the other instigator is not here. His Majesty Li Er thought that that horrible thing might still be asleep, so he felt that he was not in a good mood, so he immediately waved his hand to ask people to stop and talk about it He asked someone to call the instigator, Li Yuanying, so that the bastard could listen to everyone's criticism.
After thinking about it, everyone felt that Li Yuanying, the little demon king of the world, was really not decent. He probably instigated this matter, and agreed with His Majesty Li Er's proposal.
Li Yuanying really slept soundly at this meeting. He ate too much yesterday, and when he came back, he complained to Li Chengqian that he hadn't finished eating yet. His stomach was so full that he simply picked up medical books and read until midnight, so he couldn't get up in the morning. And usually he wouldn't get up so early, at least he didn't open his eyes until the sun was up!
Hearing that someone came to tell that Li Yuanying was going to attend the court meeting, Liu Baolin was startled and hurriedly went to wake Li Yuanying up. Li Yuanying was dazedly helped by Liu Baolin to dress and wash his face. He didn't wake up until after washing his face. He rubbed against Liu Baolin's body and asked strangely, "Mother, what did you ask me to get up so early?"
Liu Baolin softly told him about His Majesty Li Er letting him go.
Li Yuanying muttered: "There must be nothing good."
Liu Baolin covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, the court meeting is full of highly respected ministers, you should be obedient when you go."
Seeing Liu Baolin's worried expression, Li Yuanying nodded honestly.
Li Yuanying put on all the gadgets that should be worn, and barely looked like a little prince. After turning a corner and confirming that Liu Baolin, who was guarding the door watching him, was no longer visible, Li Yuanying curiously asked the servant who came to pass the message what was going on: "Why did the emperor let me meddle in the court meeting?" Every time he If there is something serious to discuss when looking for His Majesty Li Er, His Majesty Li Er will hang him out of the door!
The servant often waited in front of His Majesty Li Er, knowing that His Majesty Li Er also had a preference for Li Yuanying, the youngest brother, so he quietly picked and told Li Yuanying what happened at the court meeting.
When Li Yuanying heard this, he gathered a crowd to bully his elder nephew, that's too bad! Although the eldest nephew is also a little bit bad, but so many of them criticize the eldest nephew, bullying the few with more, it is unreasonable! Li Yuanying's footsteps suddenly became vigorous, and he ran directly to Chaohui, and the servant who was chasing behind almost missed him.
The discussion in the hall just came to an end, and when they heard the report that King Teng had arrived, everyone remembered the great cause of the crown prince that had been shelved just now, and all looked at Li Yuanying who had been brought in.
Li Yuanying usually attended palace banquets a lot, and the ministers all recognized this little devil king, and some old ministers had their beards pulled by him once, and they couldn't forget it even if they wanted to!
It was the first time for Li Yuanying to attend the court meeting. If the older princes like Li Chengqian and Li Tai didn't go to the fiefdom, they would have to attend the court meeting on weekdays. Li Yuanying is young and has an idiot personality. His Majesty Li Er never let him come, let him have fun.
Seeing the gazes of all the ministers cast in unison, Li Yuanying didn't panic, and walked in the hall with the morning sun reflected in it, and his whole body was also dyed golden by the morning sun. He was lovable, and at this moment he looked even more clever and cute. Many people felt that if this was their own descendant, no one would say anything harsh to him.
However, Li Yuanying is not their grandson!
Many people rolled up their sleeves and got ready to do it.
Li Yuanying looked inside, only to find that Li Zhi had come over, and now he was sitting next to Li Chengqian anxiously like a quail. Li Yuanying also ran over and sat down, and looked at His Majesty Li Er angrily, meaning "you can start scolding, I'll see how you want to scold."
If it wasn't for the wrong place, His Majesty Li Er would have stretched out his hand to pinch his swollen cheek.
When the three offending princes and younger brothers came together, the courtiers started a new round of impeachment. They sprayed methodically and filled with righteous indignation, as if Li Yuanying and the others had robbed his wife instead of eating a cow! Li Yuanying had been persuaded by Yu Zhining before, and he had also learned this kind of swearing method, but now he heard so many people stabbing at the three of them at once, and his anger was still rising.
My son buys a cow to eat, I think it’s justified to spend more money to scold, and outsiders are also full of righteous indignation to scold, what’s the matter, and it didn’t cost your family’s money!
Li Yuanying stood up abruptly, expressing that he had something to say.
His Majesty Li Er gave him a sideways look, meaning "You are being scolded for letting you come here, please listen obediently."
Li Yuanying ignored him, and rushed to the official who was still spitting about how wrong Li Chengqian was to buy cattle with so much money, and grabbed the other party's sleeve to interrupt: "It's up to me!"
The official was so teased by him that he forgot his words and blushed with anger.
His Majesty Li Er said: "Go back and sit down!" He glanced at Li Yuanying, "Say what you want, move your hands!"
Now everyone fell silent, and once again looked at Li Yuanying together.
Li Yuanying felt that he was short, so he sat down and said that he was imposing, and refused to sit back, directly confronting him with the official who impeached Li Chengqian: "Do you think it is not good for Chengqian to spend a lot of money to buy cattle?"
The official said: "Of course it's not good. The treasury is empty and the people are poor. As a prince, His Royal Highness should lead by example!"
Li Yuanying turned around and asked Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, did you spend your own money, or the money from the treasury?"
Li Chengqian said: "Of course it is my own." He is not a fool, how could he use the money from the treasury to play.
Li Yuanying nodded, and looked at the official again: "Chengqian bought a cow with his own money. This cow has been reported to the government and can no longer be used as a farming cow. This process is an ordinary transaction, and there is no violation of the law." place, right?"
"That's right," the official said, "But as a prince, His Royal Highness, how can you be so extravagant and wasteful?"
"We obviously finished eating all the cows, how can we say it is extravagant and wasteful?" Li Yuanying said unconvinced, "Don't you think it's a waste for us to eat a meal of roasted cows? Then I'm really surprised, if eating is a waste, What should I do so that I don’t waste it? Do I starve to death early if I don’t eat or drink every day?”
When the military commander heard this, some people couldn't help laughing.
Everyone in the court speaks in a gentle manner and walks according to the rules of the civil servants, but they can't hold back these generals, but it's not good if they don't come, so they have to come and listen to their chatter on time. Except for Cheng Zhijie, who is always raising his fists and yelling to kill, this is the first time someone has choked like this at the court meeting!
His Majesty Li Er saw that Li Yuanying could make trouble wherever he went, and shouted: "Go back and sit down!"
Li Yuanying didn't agree.
Li Yuanying went on to say: "You must change your mind and say that buying cattle is not wrong, but spending a lot of money is wrong, right?"
The civil servant stopped talking.
Li Yuanying said: "If you want me to say, Chengqian spends a lot of money to buy it, which is the performance of Anmin Ruzi!"
Everyone else looked at Li Yuanying with "I see what nonsense you are going to talk about".
Li Yuanying said: "If you are a cattle seller, would you be happy if someone bought your useless cattle at a high price?"
The official was a gentleman, and Li Yuanying could only say: "I'm really happy."
Li Yuanying said: "He is happy. With the money, he can not only buy a new cow, but also pay more money. With the new cow, the land will be plowed better, the harvest will be more next year, and the family will be richer; With the extra money, he may go out to buy other people's rice, buy other people's cloth, buy some chicken seedlings and ducklings to raise. Those who sell their things also have more income in their families, and they also have surplus money in their hands In this way, although Chengqian only gave more money to one family, it actually benefited thousands of families.” The more Li Yuanying talked, the more he felt reasonable, and he convinced himself, and stood up confidently. Back sprayed back, "Chengqian is the prince, how easy it is for him to 'save', as long as he moves out of the status of prince, who would dare not sell him, and everyone rushes to give him away! This is saving, but if the people below have Learn everything you want, ask people to give away everything you want, how can the common people have any spare money? I am afraid that they will all be tricked by you bad guys! Our family has inherited Qian, so we don’t want to learn from you bad things to harm the people! Our family Chengqian is a good prince who loves the people like a son!"
There was no sound in the hall.
This, at first glance, seems to be true! This money really cannot be saved. Not only does it have to be spent, but it has to be spent too much. You can't let the people suffer by relying on your status as the prince!
Taking advantage of the fact that the officials were confused by him, Li Yuanying quietly slipped back to Li Chengqian, poked Li Chengqian with his finger, and lowered his voice to encourage his elder nephew who was also dumbfounded by him: "It's your turn! Take out your article from yesterday! We are reasonable, we cannot just sit and let them scold us!"
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: Love the people like a son, great nephew!
Eldest nephew: Uncle Yao is talking about me? Am I thinking so? Yes, I think so, I love the people like a child!
