Don't be a prince

Naturally, Li Chengqian didn't dare to speak his mind, so he could only admit it.

Perhaps, this is the first time that the emperor and ministers of the Tang Dynasty held a banquet like this.Some people confused public chopsticks and private chopsticks, and made a big blush.

There's no way, although Li Chengqian doesn't want to rectify the chaotic rules of petty bourgeoisism, but the order of the East Palace doesn't allow it at all.

Although the new Commander has a good temper, there is still a limit to this good temper.

The disaster is over, and the judgment of the state capitals is that this year can survive the winter safely.So the food that the old Cheng's family prepared to relieve the victims was sent to the winery.

There is a restaurant in front and a wine shop in the back. Lao Cheng looks carefree, but he is actually a good businessman.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Chengqian rubbed his rumbling stomach, complaining endlessly about the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.

If the father was not there, he could sit here and eat, but when the emperor came, the crown prince couldn't even sit at the table.

I have to be grateful for the cold vegetable buns handed over by my father.

Li Shimin's drinking capacity is naturally not comparable to that of the civil servants at this table. Except for Changsun Wuji who can hold the vegetables with his tongue wide, Li Gang and Xiao Yu are the only ones left who are fine.

The wine tables of later generations can use "cephalosporin" as an excuse, and Sun Simiao can naturally be brought out on the wine tables of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that Li Gang said that he was on medication and could not drink alcohol, Xiao Yu copied it without hesitation.

The emperor left, and the prince was carried away.

Looking at Fang Mou Duan who was sound asleep, Changsun Wuji staggered out with a bitter face.

Since it was a gathering of civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, there must be someone to persuade them to drink.

As soon as he threw it away, Li Chengqian was thrown into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Li Shimin hiccupped and said, "I drank too much today, and there is still a letter from Ganlu Temple that I haven't replied to, so you can reply on my behalf."

Memorials were impossible, and private letters were also impossible. After Li Chengqian thought about it, Xuanzang's letter was the only possibility.

"But Xuanzang's letter?"

"Oh? You actually know? Could it be that you have already met him?"

"It's in the backyard of the restaurant, Erchen teased him quite a bit..."

After hearing the whole story, Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "It seems that you don't believe in gods and Buddhas, boy, that's right, our royal family can only believe in swords and flails, and the merits of this life are what need headaches." , As for the next life, just ignore him!"

Hearing his father's non-stop impassionedness, Li Chengqian couldn't help but said: "But, why do you still swallow the pill? When I went to pay your respects to your bedroom, I saw it, such a big pill, I don't know you How did you swallow it?"

Li Chengqian always felt that Li Shimin's death was a little too early. Although people in the Tang Dynasty generally lived short lives, this one fought all the year round and had a serious ancestral disease.But he is physically strong, hiccups at 51, and there are still some problems.

He didn't understand what was going on until he saw the so-called fairy treasure pill that day.

If you have nothing to do, take some elixir containing inexplicable minerals. If you can live to 51, it is already the merits of the old Li family ancestors.

After the impassioned words were finished, he was immediately discouraged.

Shame can be expressed in two ways: "ashamed" and "angry". Li Shimin chose the latter without hesitation.

With a slap, this time he managed to be rational, and he slapped Li Chengqian on the shoulder.

But even so, Li Chengqian almost spit out the steamed stuffed bun he just ate.

"The son never speaks of his father's faults, where are the teachings you have received in the past few years?"

Li Chengqian covered his throat and opened his mouth after calming down for a long time.

What a shame!Didn't you decide not to provoke this guy before?

But since it's cheap, let's be cheap to the end!

"Father, my son heard from Daoist Sun that there are many harmful substances in the elixir practiced by Taoists. It is said that this thing can prolong life. You might as well find a duck when you go back, feed it more, and see if it can How long did you carry it. My son was unfilial because he was worried about your health."

Hearing these words, Li Shimin couldn't help but blush.

Although it is unfilial to bluntly say that the father is wrong, but if such behavior is out of filial piety, it should not be criticized.

"Okay, I get it."

After saying this, Li Shimin leaned on the carriage, pretending to be asleep to avoid embarrassment.

Although it is a royal chariot, its comfort level is not comparable to that of the East Palace carriage.

Leaning his head on the carriage, he was bumped from time to time.

For his own sake, Li Shimin could only open his eyes again.

Suppressing the smile in his heart, Li Chengqian asked his own doubts: "Father, why do you give your son a dog? It's a hunting dog, do you want to use it to ward off evil spirits?"

Glancing at Li Chengqian dissatisfied, Li Shimin casually said: "If you let you raise it, you will be able to raise it. What's the point? I also raised a hunting dog when I was young. When it comes to hunting, I don't need to drive the horse to pick it up by myself. Prey. Since you have started to practice archery, one day you will participate in autumn hunting, how can you do without a hound."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes again, this time he lowered his head and took a nap.

Use it when hunting?

this....

It sounds like it's true.

After entering the harem, Li Chengqian entered the Ganlu Palace, found the letter on the imperial case, and wrote the three words "Prince read" at the end without looking at the content.

He ordered the eunuch waiting in the hall to send it out. Xuanzang probably understood what was going on as long as he saw these three characters.

The reason why he wanted the emperor's approval was nothing more than to make it easier to pass the border. As a powerful country on this planet, even the distant Hanheigoude once said, "Although learning is far away in China, you should seek it."Recommended reading../../

If the customs clearance document in the Journey to the West TV series really existed in reality, even the Turkic people would not dare to make too much trouble.After all, although hostile, killing an ordinary monk with a document for no reason will arouse Datang's anger, even the muscles in his brain have to think about it.

This is Xuanzang's idea, but it is not certain whether there is someone behind what he did.

If Xuanzang's journey to the west turned out to be ordered by the emperor to learn Buddhist scriptures, it would be strange if those monks who drool over the respected status of Taoism did not spread the news throughout the Tang Dynasty.

He raised his head in confusion, only to realize that he had reached the Hall of Liangyi.

The moment he woke up, Li Chengqian couldn't help but blush a little.

Since when did I start to see the inside through the surface, and learned to speculate on others with the most vicious thoughts?

Rubbing his face, he called Ziyan in front of the hall to let her in to report.

Chapter 176

There are many rules in the royal family. Even if Li Chengqian is not yet an adult, if he wants to enter the harem, he must notify him, and he can only enter after obtaining permission.

Although it was brought in by the emperor today, if he wanted to stay for a longer period of time, he had to get the consent of one of the emperor and empress.

If not, heh.

Glancing at the eunuch with a dead face behind him, Li Chengqian didn't think that this guy would be unable to do anything.

Geng Buqu said that when he was in the palace, he helped the emperor train a group of eunuchs.Moreover, there are some old hands in the palace who have existed since the year of Wude, and all of them are killers.The biggest dream of these people is that some blind people will be tempted by the palace, so that what they have learned can be used on the invading fools.

Not long after Ziyan entered, she came out and invited the prince into the palace.

The eldest grandson's confinement period is almost over, and she looks a bit plump after giving birth to another child.

Seeing Li Chengqian coming in, he smiled and said, "Although you didn't come to see your younger brother when he was born, but because you care so much about me, you don't care about it. Come and see your younger brother."

Li Chengqian agreed, and moved closer.

Not long after Li Zhi had just finished breastfeeding, he was falling asleep with his eyes closed. Looking at his small appearance, it was hard to imagine that this was Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty.

The founder of the "Yonghui Reign", and this guy is the Emperor Wu's style. He actively expanded to the outside world, destroyed the Western Turks, Baekje, and Goguryeo, and promoted the largest territory, starting from the Korean Peninsula in the east and expanding the Aral Sea in the west. Covering Lake Baikal in the north and reaching Hengshan in Vietnam in the south, it lasted for 32 years.

If he didn't have a strong wife, I'm afraid his reputation would not be weaker than that of his father.It's just that Wu Zetian is only four years old now, and her father, the samurai Xun, has successively served as the governor of Yuzhou, Lizhou and Jingzhou. Although he is a prince, he has been traveling around.

This is the end of insufficient meritorious deeds. Although the samurai Xun inherited his father's legacy and was listed as one of the "Taiyuan Yuanmou Meritorious Officials" and won the title of Lord Ying, but in reality, his status and merits do not match .

People like Cheng Yaojin, because they are suspected of Conglong, so even if they have become the Duke of the state, they still have the courage to fight for the first in a war.Only by accumulating enough meritorious service can the title be passed on safely, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, there is no need to worry.Otherwise, just like those people kneeling outside the Chengtian Gate, they would be pushed to the end by the new emperor.

"Queen Mother, seeing that you and the pheasant slave are doing well, I am relieved. The child can't stay in the harem for long, so I'm going back to the East Palace. When you can go out, you might as well bring the pheasant slave to the East Palace. .”

The eldest grandson nodded, even though she is a queen, it is not good for her to keep the prince in the harem all the time.

Coming out of Liangyi Hall, Li Chengqian shook his head, and let go of all the strange thoughts in his mind.

Seeing Li Zhi, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty today, made him a little more flustered.

If the course of history is changed, will it cause the grandmother paradox?

For Datang, he is a character more than 1000 years later, and his own existence is based on the premise that the historical line is correct.

But what if the historical route changes?If the Tang Dynasty is not the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but something else, will it lead to him not appearing in the future?

If he does not exist in the future, then what is going on with the soul in this body?

Philosophical questions seem simple, but after getting entangled in them, you will find that your mind is not enough.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?Who knows what the answer to this question is!

People can't be controlled by their own thoughts, so Li Chengqian will always keep it in his heart when encountering problems that are difficult to understand for a while. Usually, at the right time, these questions can always be prompted and even found the answer.

But before that, let's live!

Back in the palace, he went to the kitchen and asked for a large piece of dried meat. Li Chengqian was ready to tease the dog.

Although dogs that are still two or three months old cannot learn complex commands, they should still be able to learn things like "shake hands" and "sit down"!

With Heitan head around, Li Chengqian's life will never be too boring.

The life of Tang Dynasty seems to be colorful, but if he chooses, he still hopes to lie on the bed with his mobile phone, or ride a battery car through the streets and alleys.Now that there is a lack of entertainment, raising a dog is more interesting than being a prince.

While Li Chengqian was teasing Heitantou, in the Ci'en Temple, Xuanzang was holding the reply letter with a look of ashes on his face.

The emperor didn't even bother to reply to himself, so he specially asked the prince to write back, just to tell him that the emperor meant the same as the prince.

"Understandable, although my Buddhist school was once prosperous, it has become the primary object of royal vigilance since Emperor Wu of Liang's period. It is said that Buddhism is boundless, but who would have thought that this Buddhist school is just a resting place for ordinary people .Nowadays temples all over the world have a tendency to follow rumors, and monks should be merciful, but in the end they all got into the eyes of money. Xuanzang, you must not be led astray by them."

In the dilapidated Zen room, there sat an old monk in worn-out monk robes.In front of the futon and wooden fish, there is no Buddha statue, but nothing.But even so, Xuanzang respected the master.

"Master Huiming, I believe that I have never slackened in the study of Buddhism. Now, I have a deep insight into the theory of the Mahayana scriptures, the theory of the north and south, and the theory of photography. Due to the differences in theory, if I want to integrate Buddhism in China, I have to go west to seek the Dharma, directly explore the original scriptures, and re-translate. Nalanda Temple teaches "Yoga Lun" to capture the three vehicles. Therefore, in the lifetime of Master Jiexian, young monks must travel westward and study under the command of the master.

Master Huiming, since His Majesty the Emperor refuses to help, the monk is going west alone.If you don't get the scriptures, you swear you won't return to Chang'an! "

Huiming turned his head, but he couldn't help squinting his eyes because of the sunlight coming through the open door of the meditation room.

With the rising sun as the background, the black-faced Xuanzang shone with determination mixed with a hint of madness.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much. The journey here is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may be overturned. The old monk can't help. There is only a white horse, which is still riding. Years old, when you decide to set off, I will give it to you as foot power!"

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and thanked Huiming for his gift.

Walking out of the Zen room, looking to the southwest, Xuanzang took a deep breath.You can't go now, monk Xiaoda from Qinzhou.Now he is studying the Nirvana Sutra in Chang'an. It is said that his elders know the way to Tianzhu without crossing vast forests.After he finishes his studies, he will go to Qinzhou to visit his elders first, and then officially set off!

The clouds under the sunset glow with golden luster, which is full of temptation to those looking west.

"sit down!"

Following Li Chengqian's instructions, Heitantou sat down very smartly.

"Sit down and don't move!"

After settling down the little bastard, Li Chengqian continued to practice archery.

It was very strange that although Yan Liben had already returned to Chang'an, there was still no news of him donating cement from the court.

What the hell is this guy doing?

If it wasn't for waiting for Yan Liben to go to court, Li Chengqian would have gone to the academy a long time ago.

Just yesterday, several small courtyards built for the gentlemen have been completed.After hearing the news, the old gentleman urged Li Chengqian to send troops to send him there regardless of whether he had decorated it well.

Knowing that the East Palace is very boring, he also wants to go to the academy, even fishing by the Wei River is more interesting than archery here.

Three consecutive arrows hit the bull's-eye, Li Chengqian shook his sore arms, and couldn't help being very satisfied with his record.

Fang Shuo approached from one side, and said with a smile, "Your Highness has learned the essence of archery now. These three arrows are really beautiful!"

Li Chengqian turned around and kicked Fang Shuo back two steps in fright.

"Rolling the ball, it's only a dozen or so paces away. Tomorrow, Qigu will extend his shooting distance. You and Fang Sheng have ordered you to go on. The guards and palace servants who have nothing to do don't make do with it. Be careful to shoot the target alone. The shot is not accurate, but the shot hits the target.”

Both Fang Shuo and Fang Sheng agreed.

Looking back at Heitantou, it's not bad, this guy is still sitting there, showing no intention of getting up.

Picking up a piece of beef jerky from his sleeve, he rewarded it.

Looking at the sun in the west, Li Chengqian decided that if this guy didn't move tomorrow, he would come to the door and kick him.
