Don't be a prince

In a mountain depression, they unexpectedly encountered another camp of refugees.

Compared with Liu Yang's camp, this camp is even worse.The cottage was built around a cave in a ravine, and the surrounding land was just piles of firewood.

Niu Jinda pointed to the refugee camp and said, "I don't know how many camps like this exist in the Qinling Mountains, let alone in the entire Tang Dynasty. They are all poor people who escaped the war. They have to suffer outside, but now they have to suffer in the mountains." .”

The appearance of the imperial guards horrified the few refugees who were guarding the gate of the camp, and they returned to the village in a hurry.It wasn't until everyone left that they dared to show their heads.

Although it is helpless to give up the fields and go into the mountains to escape the war, the taxes they owe to the court are also real.

Sometimes, when the officers and soldiers suppress bandits, what they encounter is not necessarily vicious bandits.

Or unarmed refugees.

After leaving the mountain, they went to the military camp to retrieve the horses and carriages, and the team returned to Chang'an before sunset.

The old gentleman in the bedroom looked much better at this time, and although he was not allowed to go out, he was already able to leave the bed.

He talked about the petition for the refugees in the previous memorial. Surprisingly, the old gentleman did not dissuade him, but praised him greatly, and even wanted to sign his name on the memorial.

When Li Chengqian asked the reason, Li Gang replied: "This is a great thing with infinite merit. Why should we dissuade it? In the former Sui Dynasty, some officials proposed to amend the law and gather the refugees. But the emperor didn't want to just let the refugees go like this." Guilty, the policy has not been passed. Although His Majesty today...

However, judging from the series of decrees issued since he took the throne, he is a benevolent monarch.The old man thinks that this policy will most likely be passed, which is a great thing for the country and the people!If the old man can do his meager strength, there will be no regrets under the nine springs! "

"Bah bah bah."

Stretching out his hand to hold the old man's withered hand, Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, you are just drunk, it is not a serious illness. Since you want to sign it, why don't you draft this memorial."

Li Gang waved his hand: "No, it's better for you to write. The imperial doctor has specially told me not to write, and I don't need to waste my energy. Just in time, I also want to see how your writing skills are."

Seeing the way the old man retracted his hands into his sleeves, Li Chengqian knew it was over.

In Li Gang's room, Li Chengqian asked for pen and ink, and began to draft.

Although I'm not very good at grammar in classical Chinese, it's still no problem to write an article.After all, I graduated from high school, and I have also studied stereotyped essays in the college entrance examination. Using this format to write essays should be effective.

Picking up a pen to write, because it was a draft, Li Chengqian didn't pay that much attention.

Li Gang sat on the side, watching the students write their essays.Although he saw some language errors and the like, he didn't point them out.

After all, this article is what the prince felt after he went to the mountains and met refugees. Given the age of the prince, there are some mistakes in the article, which are reasonable.

As night fell, Li Chengqian wrote so vigorously that he didn't even eat dinner.The master and the apprentice stayed hungry until you hour.

After writing the signature, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled and asked Li Gang: "Mr. Li, what do you think?"

Li Gang nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Although it is not done in one go, the price is lowered, but in my opinion, your article is enough to be recorded in the annals of history. The name "Theory of Consolidation and Wealth of the Country" is not very pleasant. In my opinion, it is directly called "" "An Min Lun" is better. After all, your article is not only for refugees, but also has the taste of challenging the law. If it is called An Min Lun, if there are any problems with the law in the future, it can be changed as usual."

Naturally, Li Chengqian changed his name to "An Min Lun" following his advice.

Niu Jinda's memorial had already been delivered, and he unfolded it. Under the guidance of the old man, Li Chengqian copied An Minlun word by word, and finally signed it.

Since Li shi forcefully asked for a signature, he couldn't refuse, so he could only give up the number one position to his old man.

Taking the pen, the old gentleman ignored the place where Li Chengqian left, and wrote his name under "Prince (space) Li Chengqian".

It is certainly the prince's intention to respect the teacher before the teacher, but the difference in status is real.

Close the memorial and let Fang Sheng send it to Duke Wei's mansion at night.

After putting down the pen, the master and apprentice had time to eat.

Seeing that the old man put down his chopsticks after only drinking a bowl of porridge and two mouthfuls of vegetables, Li Chengqian said worriedly: "It seems that your body is still not well adjusted. It's all the disciple's fault, I should have stopped you that night."

Li Gang didn't care and said: "It's just that I don't have a good appetite. Besides, the old man is already eighty-one, even if he dies because of it, it's still a good talk. It's better than dying in bed in the end."

With a sigh, Li Chengqian also put down his chopsticks and waited for the old gentleman to lie down before leaving.

The next morning, it was still the usual exercise.

Li Jing and Niu Jinda were holding a jug each, watching the prince practice sword and boxing, and only gave pointers when he encountered something wrong.Other than that, they were just chatting, and when the conversation got hot, the two even touched each other.

After completing the training goal of [-] punches, Li Chengqian was soaked through.

Seeing the crown prince stopped, Niu Jinda said drunkenly: "The memorial, I have already sent it up. Although the way is wrong, it shouldn't be a problem for His Majesty to see it."

Li Jing said with a smile: "The military general's memorials are all sent to the Ministry of War. I think Li Xiaogong will be shocked when he sees this memorial. When will the military general worry about civil servants, haha!"

"Wei Gong, you should have read my article, what do you think?"

For evaluation questions, I can only ask Li Jing.Although Niu Jinda was literate, it was only at the level of literate.

After taking a sip of wine, Li Jing stroked his beard and said, "It's well-founded and has the thought of serving the country and the people. It's very good. Although there are many grammatical mistakes, it's absolutely impossible for me to write like this. The three of us and Grand Master Li probably have to prepare. Tonight at the latest, His Majesty’s order for us to go to court will be delivered.”

...

In fact, it was not at night, at noon, the order came from the palace.

Li Xiaogong, who received the memorial, did not approve it, but knocked on the que directly and sent it to the emperor.

After processing the memorial, it was already evening.

After finding out the memorial written by Li Chengqian, Li Shimin read it again before putting it on the case, closed his eyes and meditated.

The eunuch in charge of handling the documents carried away all the processed memorials, except for this one.

The night grew darker.

As usual, the eldest grandson came to the Imperial Study Room with a midnight snack, and only entered after seeing that the memorials had been moved away.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed."

Only then did Li Shimin come back to his senses.

Picking up the memorial, Li Shimin said to the queen like a father who had received a certificate: "Guanyin maidservant, come and take a look. Although this memorial was written by Niu Jinda, the content on it was written by Cheng Qian."

If it was another memorial, the eldest grandson would probably have to shirk it, but when he heard that it was written by his son, he immediately became interested.

After reading it, the eldest grandson covered his mouth with a smile and said, "I don't know why you are so happy, just look here, here, and here, there are a lot of mistakes."

Li Shimin took the memorial and said with a smile: "I don't see language problems, but the content. I sent Chengqian to go hunting in the Qinling Mountains. I wanted him to direct the crown prince to lead him personally and experience it. But I didn't expect that this child would meet a refugee. In order to change the law, exonerate the idea of ​​gathering refugees.

I have always been troubled by the problem of refugees, but it is not easy to question the law with the respect of an emperor.Although the old thief Wei hates evil, he has never paid attention to the problem of refugees. Several times, I wanted to reply to the two characters of "refugees" in his letter of advice to remind him.Now that Chengqian proposed it, it would inevitably attract a large number of seconders, and the reputation of the prince's benevolence would spread like wildfire.To be honest, this situation is much better than what the courtiers proposed.

In addition, judging from this memorial, although he has learned swordsmanship and boxing, the prince's knowledge has not been left behind.In times of peace and prosperity, the most feared thing is the foolish king. I am very relieved that Chengqian can make such progress. "

The son can know how to grow up, and the grandson is also very happy.

Once upon a time, she longed to marry a hero of the world, but met Li Shimin in the end.

Once upon a time, she also fantasized about being the mother of the world, but in the end she really became a queen.

Once upon a time, she had hoped that she would not lose the favor of the emperor. Judging from the fact that more than half of them stayed in the Liangyi Hall for a month, the emperor's husband did indeed have one heart with her.

And after fulfilling so many wishes, she still knew that she greedily prayed to God that her son could also become a benevolent king.

Now it seems that God still loves her, and even this wish has been fulfilled.

She couldn't help clasping her hands together, and her eldest grandson had tears in her eyes. At this time, she really felt that she had no regrets.

...

Going to court is actually a laborious task.

Just after the ugly hour, Li Chengqian was woken up by the eunuch and began to wash and prepare to go to court.

There is only one wall between the East Palace and the Imperial Palace, and the courtiers who live farther away may have to get up at three o'clock.

Pack it up, get on the carriage and go to Chengtian Gate.Across the carriage, you can still hear the conversation of the courtiers outside.

If there is no urgent matter, the Grand Court Meeting will only be held once a month.Even in the daily court, only the ministers involved in the relevant memorials will go to the court.And yesterday's notice from the court meeting made the courtiers confused.

Only when a major event occurs, will the Great Court Meeting be held.But right now I haven't heard what happened, so the confused officials are asking each other.

A carriage came and stopped arrogantly against the prince's carriage.

The groom of the East Palace was about to get angry, but when he saw the sign of Hejian County Prince's Mansion on the carriage, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Although the Hejian County King is only a county king, he is the prince's uncle, so it is not impossible to be side by side with the prince's chariot.

Li Chengqian was dozing off in the car, but suddenly he heard someone knocking on the car.

Confusedly looking for the source of the sound, when he found it was near the window, he opened the curtain and saw Li Xiaogong poking his head out from the opposite carriage.

"Don't blame the emperor, I got up too early. I took a nap and didn't see your car."

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "It's common to take a nap before going to the front. You are still young, you must not be able to stand it so early. Leaving aside this, the memorial that the old man received yesterday was indeed written by you?"

Li Chengqian nodded.

"If it was really written by you, it can be seen that the prince has done a good job in his homework. My brother Chongyi has been studying for three or four years, but he didn't even recognize the words. I went home last night and I had a hard time fixing him. "

Li Chengqian suddenly had a black line on his forehead.

Although I don't know how old Li Chongyi is now, but judging from the age of the emperor's uncle who is around thirty, he shouldn't be too old.It was really an accident that a child was involved in the memorial.It's just that this uncle doesn't know that he is not very knowledgeable, nor is he a genius, it's really because he is not really eight years old.

With a helpless smile, Li Chengqian said: "Brother Chongyi learns slowly, probably because he doesn't have a famous teacher. The East Palace is building the Chongwen Museum. After it is completed, the emperor might as well send him to the East Palace to study."

Li Xiaogong chuckled: "That's natural. Speaking of which, you have suffered a lot today. The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is your Daozong emperor's uncle, and he will definitely face you. But Dai Zhou, the Dali Temple minister, is a weirdo. He is not even afraid of the emperor, let alone you, a crown prince, regarding legal matters."

Li Chengqian couldn't remember who Dai Zhou was after searching his brains, but he wouldn't be so powerful after thinking about it.

Wei Zheng, a man of the ages, must be on his side when it comes to gathering refugees.He never believed that there was still someone who could beat Wei Zheng.

Arching his hands, Li Chengqian said: "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me."

Li Xiaogong nodded: "It's good to be prepared, and the emperor will try his best to help you when the time comes. Before opening the palace gate, you'd better sleep for a while and recharge your batteries."

After speaking, Li Xiaogong ordered his groom to go forward and left.

Back in the carriage, he didn't continue to take a nap, but rested his chin and thought.

Li Chengqian was thinking hard, how to lure Wei Zheng out as a teammate as soon as possible.

If this person stood up, even if Dai Zhou was against him, he would probably be able to resist it.

Talking about it is the most tiring job.Not only is it a waste of saliva, but it might also offend people.

The Minister of Dali Temple, one of the nine ministers, is equivalent to the dean of the Supreme Court (crab).Moreover, cases involving officials are generally taken over by Dali Temple.

Such a boss cannot be easily offended.

Just as Li Chengqian was thinking hard, the Chengtian Gate opened.

Chapter 128 I secretly thought....

The officials waiting outside the door immediately stood in line and became solemn.

Those who dozed off in the carriages and sedan chairs due to their official positions were also woken up by their respective guards and began to straighten their clothes.

Lifting the curtain of the car and jumping out of the carriage supported by the guards, Li Chengqian walked to the front of the team naturally.Mobile terminal../

Because Li Jing knew about it, he didn't lead the team in.

Fang Xuanling, who was going to lead the team to enter, stopped quickly when he saw the prince's figure, waiting for the prince to go first.

Before the Baiguan, Li Chengqian was like the boss of the Black Society, he walked in front, and the younger brothers followed suit.

Pass through the Taiji Gate, bypass the Taiji Hall, and pass through the Liangyi Gate.

Baiguan, who usually moves quickly, slowed down again today because of the prince's leadership.

It wasn't until Lizheng Hall that Li Chengqian thought about it, and chose to stand at the front of the civil servant's side.

The sudden appearance of the prince caused the courtiers to discuss a lot. No one knew what his appearance represented or what happened.

It wasn't until the emperor appeared that the discussion disappeared.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling was not moving, Li Chengqian had no choice but to leave the shift, and led all the officials to bow and salute to the emperor.

After saluting, he sat on the mat, and Li Chengqian waited quietly for his father to call him.

It is impossible to talk about such a controversial matter at the beginning.Because it is very likely that the court meeting will not be held until noon, which will delay the real big event.

Sure enough, Li Shimin first called Fang Xuanling, then Changsun Wuji, and began to handle simple court affairs.

After one piece of court affairs passed, many people began to look around again.

These few things are very normal court affairs, not to the extent of holding a grand court meeting.

However, the veterans who had been in court for a long time still sat solemnly.They all know that only the real grand finale is worthy of a grand meeting.

Moreover, this matter is mostly related to the prince!Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the eight-year-old prince to appear in the court.If you want the prince to start watching politics, you have to be in your teens.

Looking at the prince who closed his eyes and rested without a trace of stage fright, Fang Xuanling and other officials who approached nodded.
