Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

On the day when Emperor Taizong returned to the court, he summoned a group of ministers and generals, and ordered that the generals and soldiers of the imperial guards should go to the courtyard of Xiande Hall to practice martial arts every day.

At the same time, Emperor Taizong issued an edict to revoke the guards at the gates along the river to stop the behavior of road tyrants.He also issued an edict to release 3000 court ladies from Ye Ting.

When the edict was issued, Chengqian was reading under the big tree in the back garden.

Bi'er served on the side, washing the tea set, and Xiao Jinzi stood respectfully behind Chengqian.

Zhu'er couldn't hide her excitement, and came in a hurry. After saluting, she stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, just now His Majesty issued an order to release the maids from the palace, and asked the empress to count the maids in each palace. The empress has just sent Aunt Maple Leaf to come. Here is an order, Your Highness, please report the list of maids leaving the Palace of Qihui in the afternoon of tomorrow."

Bi'er, who was listening on the side, suddenly had her eyes lit up.

Cheng Qian was taken aback, this time seems to have come earlier, Cheng Qian remembered the previous life, the father directly ordered the release of the maids of Ye Ting out of the palace, and did not ask the mother to count the maids of each palace, at that time only the maids summoned by the Queen of Ye Ting were out of the palace .

After thinking about it for a while, I was very confused, maybe because I changed, so, have some things changed?

"Your Highness?" Zhu'er stepped forward hesitantly. What is Your Highness thinking?

Chengqian, who had regained his senses because of Zhu'er's soft call, raised his head and smiled, "Sister Zhu'er, call the maids of Qihui Palace."

**************************

Emperor Taizong and Changsun Wuji walked to the gate of the Qihui Palace. The young eunuch on duty at the gate of the Qihui Palace saw him, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over to salute, "Your Majesty, my maidservant. I have met my eldest grandson."

Emperor Taizong waved his hand, gestured to get up, and asked lightly, "Where is Your Highness?"

The little eunuch replied respectfully, "If you go back to the emperor, His Highness is giving lectures in the front hall."

Speech?Emperor Taizong raised his eyebrows, interested, how did that very elegant and gentle child lecture him?

Therefore, Emperor Taizong smiled at the eldest grandson Wuji behind him, "Wuji, let's go and see how our Highness King Zhongshan lectures."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said respectfully, "Yes. I am also very curious. Your Highness is smart and well-behaved. I really can't imagine His Highness's appearance when he is lecturing. I am very curious."

Although Changsun Wuji said this, his heart was beating a bit. After all, His Royal Highness King Zhongshan was only eight years old. If an eight-year-old child said something wrong, the emperor would not blame him.

Not long after returning to Beijing, the emperor issued three edicts in a row, and left him, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and others to discuss some state affairs. To visit His Royal Highness King Zhongshan.

Since His Royal Highness King Zhongshan was injured, he had also visited him, but the queen refused on the grounds that His Royal Highness Zhongshan needed to recuperate and should not be disturbed.

Will be rejected, Changsun Wuji also understands in his heart, as the eldest son of the emperor, as the eldest son of the emperor, but cannot walk, this is not very pleasant to the emperor and the royal family, even the state banquet to celebrate the emperor's ascension to the throne. Not attending, it can be seen that the emperor and empress are actually trying to make His Royal Highness Zhongshan Wang transparent.

But, like this, as Du Ruhui said, it might not be a blessing.

However, I heard from the queen that the emperor has never visited His Royal Highness King Zhongshan since he was injured, but why did he come here suddenly today?Still bring yourself?

Changsun Wuji was beating his heart, still smiling freely, followed Emperor Taizong, and quietly walked into Qihui Hall.

In the front hall, Cheng Qian was sitting in a wheelchair, with his hands resting comfortably on the armrests, and looking at the twenty or so court ladies kneeling in front of him with a serene expression.

Pearl and Beau both knelt at the front.Little Jinzi and Little Yinzi both stood behind Chengqian.

At this time, they all lowered their heads, listening respectfully to Cheng Qian's lecture.

Chengqian smiled quietly, and spoke with a waxy voice, with the immatureness of a child, speaking at a leisurely pace, with a shy expression on his face, "Father and emperor ordered three thousand court ladies to leave the palace, I know, all sisters are I have lived in the palace for many years, and now I must want to go home, but my father's decree is only three thousand, and my mother's quota for the Qihui Palace is only ten, but now I have 25 maids in the Qihui Palace. Sister Zhu'er reported that fifteen sisters wanted to go home. I thought it would be impossible to let all fifteen sisters go home together. The Queen Mother would not agree, even if the Queen Mother loved me and gave me the privilege of Qihui Palace, I can't ask for it either, because it's unfair to the maids of other palaces, think about it, sisters?"

After a pause, Chengqian said slowly, "It's not fair for me to choose ten sisters to leave the palace, and I don't know which sister needs to leave the palace the most, so, how about this, please recommend each other How about you? You sisters live together on weekdays, so you must know the most, who needs it most and who doesn't, or if there are sisters who don't want to go out of the palace, can you also write it down?"

After finishing speaking, Cheng Qian smiled lightly, and waved his hands to signal the little gold and silver behind him to distribute the papers.

After thinking about it, Chengqian said softly again, "If there is any sister who can't write, please ask Xiao Jinzi or Xiao Yinzi."

After distributing the papers for a while, Cheng Qian quietly crossed his hands on his lap and looked at the court lady who was lying on the ground writing.

Some palace maids were very hesitant, some were silently writing, some could not write, and whispered something to Little Jinzi or Little Silver.And Zhu'er pondered for a while, then wrote with a brush, but Bi'er was very hesitant, hesitating to write.

Emperor Taizong and Changsun Wuji stood in the dark at the side door of the front hall. Emperor Taizong pondered for a moment, and then smiled, which seemed a little proud.And Changsun Wuji was thoughtful.

After half a stick of incense, Chengqian said, "Sisters, have you finished writing? Little gold, little silver, please collect it."

Taking the things presented by Xiao Jinzi, Cheng Qian looked at them one by one, and after seeing them, some of them were put into Xiao Jinzi's hands, some were put into Xiao Yinzi's hands, and some were kept by Cheng Qian himself.

After a while, after reading it, Chengqian raised his head and chuckled, "Okay, the ten sisters who need to go out of the palace the most have already made plans." Turning his head, he said to Xiao Yinzi, "Little Yinzi, you can announce it."

Xiao Yinzi then picked up the paper Chengqian put in his hand, and read the names aloud one by one.

When thinking of a name, Xiao Yinzi was stunned for a while, "Bi'er?"

Zhu'er was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Bi'er, but she saw Bi'er's expression was stunned and unbelievable.

Hearing the name, the other court ladies below were some stunned, some delighted, and some seemed a little unwilling.But in the end, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed for their grace.

And Chengqian said with a smile after Xiao Yinzi finished reading his name, "Okay, the elder sister who came home from the palace, go down and tidy up, and the other elder sisters should leave."

After finishing speaking, he said to Xiao Jinzi, "Go back to the apse."

Xiao Jinzi was pushing the wheelchair when suddenly a palace lady behind her knelt down with a plop, "Your Highness! This slave is not convinced!"

Emperor Taizong frowned in displeasure by the side door, looked coldly at the court lady kneeling on the ground, and then raised his eyes to Chengqian.There is a kind of expectation in my heart, I don't know how this child will deal with it?

Chengqian signaled Xiao Jinzi to turn the wheelchair around, and looked at the court lady who knelt down with a plop, it was Bier.

Cheng Qian still had a calm face, smiled softly, and said in a soft voice, "Sister Bi'er, although the other sisters did not recommend you, but Sister Bi'er, I know that you really need to go out of the palace. When Aunt Maple Leaf, who is next to your mother, brought you here, she mentioned that you have an old father in your family, and you have a younger brother, and your mother passed away early. The queen mother often said that filial piety is the duty of children, Therefore, I allow you to go out of the palace to serve the old father and take care of the younger brother."

Bi'er walked on her knees while crying, "Your Highness, but Your Highness, Bi'er wants to serve His Highness, follow His Highness, please don't drive Bi'er away."

Chengqian sighed softly, frowned slightly, and seemed to be very regretful, "Sister Bi'er, there is a saying that goes like this, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to support but the relatives are not there', and all good filial piety comes first, it is difficult No, sister Bi'er, do you want to be filial to your old father after he passes away? Sister Bi'er, I have sisters serving you, you can rest assured." After finishing speaking, Cheng Qian smiled shyly, turned his head, and stopped looking at Bi'er, " Back to the apse."

Behind him, Bi'er knelt on the ground, crying loudly.

Zhu'er stared blankly at Bi'er, wanted to go forward, but stopped silently, turned around, and walked quickly towards the apse.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Zhu'er rushed forward, on the platform between the front and rear halls, caught up with Cheng Qian, walked around in front of Cheng Qian, knelt down, and kowtowed, "Why did Your Highness drive Bi'er away?"

Cheng Qian looked calm, looked at Zhu'er with a persistent expression for a while, and then said softly, "Sister Zhu'er, what did you call me just now?"

Calling His Highness, but questioning His Highness? !

Zhu'er was taken aback for a moment, but then came back to her senses, His Highness is the master, she is the servant!She bowed her head in shame and said, "Zhu'er is being rude. Zhu'er shouldn't talk to His Highness like this."

Cheng Qian smiled peacefully, "Sister Zhu Er, since Cheng Qian was injured, Sister Zhu Er was entrusted by her mother to take care of Cheng Qian. In name, I am the master and you are the servant, but Cheng Qian knows that Sister Zhu Er In fact, Chengqian has always been taken care of like a younger brother. Chengqian understands this friendship."

Zhu'er's heart trembled, and she looked up with a choked head, but seeing Cheng Qian's peaceful smile, her heart was agitated, she thought His Highness was just a child, she would not know, since His Highness pleaded for her that time, she has always kept His Highness Take care of her younger brother who passed away at the age of eight.

"But, Sister Zhu'er, this is the palace. Courtesy is undeniable. I am the queen mother's son, and many eyes are looking at me. Now that I am like this, I can't let the queen mother worry about me. Sister Zhu'er, You are the maid who attends my side, so, sister Zhu'er, please be cautious in your words and deeds in the future." Cheng Qian said softly.Seeing Zhu'er's serious expression, and kowtowing heavily, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "As for Bi'er, sister Zhu'er, do you know who she recommended?"

Zhu'er was stunned, kowtowed and asked, "I don't know, I beg Your Highness to help you."

Cheng Qian said softly, "It's you."

Pearl startled.

Cheng Qian said slowly, "Sister Zhu'er must have told Bi'er about everything."

Zhu Er nodded numbly.Chengqian sighed in his heart.Knowing that there is no one in Zhu'er's house, why recommend Zhu'er to leave the palace?Bi'er underestimated him for accepting Qian, and it was too simplistic.Or, Bier is actually just trying to see if she can get Zhuer to leave?If he was still the eight-year-old prince back then, maybe he would really be tricked by Bi Er.Unfortunately not.

It's just that Bi'er, who is usually so docile, would have such dark thoughts?

Seeing that Zhu'er looked very disappointed, Cheng Qian said, "Sister Zhu'er, go and report to the queen about the situation of the maids leaving the Qihui Palace." Cheng Qian said, motioning for Xiao Jinzi to push him back to the back hall.

Although the sky in the early Tang Dynasty was clear, there was always some haze that was unavoidable.Cheng Qian thought, but compared with the darker things in later generations, the Tang Dynasty under the father's rule was really much better.What happened to Beer was just an accident.He thought casually.

And when he entered the apse and looked at the two Emperor Taizong and Changsun Wuji who were sitting opposite each other on the cushion in the apse, drinking tea leisurely, his carelessness suddenly turned into trembling!
