Great Tang princess

Chapter 106 Hiring Lu Zhaolin

Li Yuechen walked to the next pavilion and sat down: "Tell me in detail."

Fulai replied respectfully: "Actually, my servant went out of the palace early this morning to inquire about the paper-making matter, and I left it to Lai Cao to inquire about Lu Zhaolin's matter. Just now he told me that he was arrested, and this servant went to inquire in person. After a while, I found out that this matter is related to His Highness’s cousin..."

While explaining, he also took out a piece of paper and showed it to Li Yuechen, as if he was arrested because he wrote a poem.

Li Yuechen opened it curiously, could it be anti-poetry?Thinking about it, it shouldn't be so. If it was an anti-poetry, it probably wouldn't be Wu Sansi who arrested him.

Open it and take a look. This poem is called "Chang'an Ancient Ideas". It has a lot of words and is quite long.

After scanning back and forth several times, the corner of Li Yuechen's mouth curled up, probably understanding.

This poem is probably about the yearning for life in Chang'an, and by the way satirizes the arrogance and lust of the rich and powerful.

It's not a big deal, and there was no literary prison in the Tang Dynasty, so they wouldn't be punished for their words.

But some of the sentence patterns are indeed harsh in the eyes of the nobles, and it is normal to feel uncomfortable.

He didn't say anything at the moment, just got up and returned to Anfu Hall.

When the meal was about to finish, Li Yuechen took out the poem and showed it to Shangguan Wan'er and the others.

"What do you think of this poem?"

After seeing it, Princess Yiyang was full of admiration: "You have a brilliant literary talent, you really have a great talent!"

Shangguan Wan'er also had the same expression: "At least for now, Wan'er can't compare."

Li Yuechen put down the cup in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Do you think this person can be used by me?"

"Your Highness is the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, of course it is possible!" Shangguan Wan'er replied.

"That's true from this point of view, but I want him to do things sincerely, although it's not difficult." Li Yuechen said.

In fact, I just want him to be a Chinese teacher, but the key is whether he is willing to teach these children with all his heart.

These days, there are still reasons for the mutual discrimination between different classes. Although Lu Zhaolin is indeed satirizing the arrogance and luxury of the rich and powerful, Li Yuechen doesn't know whether there are sour grapes in it.

If he is really such a person, it is possible to discriminate against those children in the same way, and it is certainly impossible to teach them according to his own ideas.

Li Yuechen never thought that a person who could leave his name on the language document must be a good person, so he still needed to test it out.

The next morning, after finishing practicing according to the habit, after eating, he took Fulai to the prison.

The prison was under the management of Dali Temple. As soon as Zhang Wenguan heard that the princess was coming, Zhang Wenguan immediately brought people out to salute.

When Li Yuechen got out of the car, he saw Zhang Wenguan bringing a group of subordinates over to salute: "Your Majesty has seen Her Royal Highness."

"Excuse me." Li Yuechen raised his hand, "I'm here this time, not for official business, but just to see someone."

Zhang Wenguan agreed: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what do you need to do?"

"No, just take a look." Li Yuechen explained with a smile.

At present, she really doesn't plan to use any privileges, but wants to meet first before talking.

Under the leadership of the cell boss, I entered the dungeon, and as soon as I entered the door, I felt a damp and musty smell blowing over my face.

Li Yuechen didn't care, and strode into it with the jailer.

The prison cell was different from what he had imagined. The fence was made of wood, and it was unprocessed wood.

The intervals are short, about the width of a hand outstretched.The cells are not big, and each one holds at least two or three people, and at most seven or eight people.

When these people saw the jailer urging a little girl to come in, they all looked over curiously.

But after the jailer glared fiercely, they all lowered their heads again, not daring to look any more.

As it gradually deepened, the jailer stopped in front of a cell: "Your Highness, this is the place."

Li Yuechen nodded and stopped in front of the cell.

There is only one person in this cell, and the sanitary conditions are better, presumably someone sent money to take care of it.

The cell was covered with a thick layer of dry straw, on which lay a man sleeping with his eyes squinted, coughing lightly from time to time.

Because the ancients had beards and most of them had poor nutrition, they would look older than their actual age.

According to Li Yuechen's deduction, the person in front of him is about 30 years old.

"Open the door." Li Yuechen raised his chin.

"Yes!"

The jailer didn't dare to neglect, and immediately opened the cells.

Perhaps it was the sound of iron chains colliding with wood that woke him up. He rubbed his eyes and sat up from the dry straw.

Then I saw a man in eunuch's attire walking in, followed by a young man in a bright red round collar robe.

But... Although she was dressed in men's clothes, she seemed to be a little girl!

A delicate little face, matched with the high ponytail tied with a red string, walked in slowly.

A pair of big eyes are black and shiny, revealing a sense of maturity that doesn't fit a child's body.

Lu Zhaolin got up and saluted: "May I ask who is the nobleman?"

Fulai replied: "This is the daughter of the saint today, Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping!"

"Grassman, I have met Your Highness!" Lu Zhaolin saluted without being humble or overbearing, without any excitement on his face after seeing the princess.

Li Yuechen looked around and saw that there was no stool, so he sat directly on the low table: "Wai Li, do you know why you were arrested?"

Lu Zhaolin smiled wryly: "It's nothing more than being in the way of some people's eyes... It's just that my poor family and friends not only failed to save me, but lost a lot of money..."

"This matter... seems to be partly your fault, right?" Li Yuechen asked.

"Why do you blame me? Datang has never been convicted for words. How dare I ask Your Highness, what is wrong with me?" Lu Zhaolin raised his head and asked back.

"Bold!" Fulai stepped forward.

Li Yuechen waved his hand to express his indifference, and said with a slight smile: "I believe that the so-called law is just the lowest standard for people. If someone claims that he abides by laws and regulations, then this person is probably a scumbag! Do you agree with this statement?" ?”

"Forgive me for not agreeing." Lu Zhaolin replied stiffly.

"Then can you tell me what is the explanation for "Amorous Love on behalf of Guo Shi Answering Lu Zhaolin"?"

"This..." Lu Zhaolin blushed, "This is just a romantic affair..."

Li Yuechen nodded: "So, having a romantic affair is not a fault. The woman lost her reputation for you and gave birth to an heir, but you can start a mess and abandon it, just because of a romantic affair, you can get rid of it, right?"

In fact, in this era, famous festivals really haven't been included in the law.

It sounds like people care about it, but in fact, eating the forbidden fruit before marriage is not uncommon, and it is not a serious matter.

But the problem of having a big belly is very serious, not to mention that this kind of thing is divided into people.

Some people really don't care much, so the people around them don't talk much about it.However, if the parties concerned bring this up and say it, it can also be a very serious matter.

"This……"

Being taught a lesson by a seven or eight year old girl, Lu Zhaolin couldn't help but blush, but what she said made sense, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Li Yuechen put his left leg on his right leg, tilted his head and asked, "To be honest, do you regret it?"

"Don't dare to lie to Your Highness, I'm suffering from wind disease now, if I marry her, I'm afraid..." When Lu Zhaolin said these words, his eyes flickered twice unconsciously.

Li Yuechen frowned, just like his father's illness.

But Dad is the emperor after all, and he has all kinds of famous doctors around him, but he is different. To put it bluntly, he can only wait for death.

"If you can go out from here, what are your plans?" Li Yuechen asked.

Lu Zhaolin shook his head: "It's just looking for a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to die..."

"I have a group of students outside the city, would you like to be hired by me as a teacher?" Li Yuechen asked.

Since he regrets his behavior, it means at least he is not a bad person in a pure sense.

If he doesn't discriminate against these children, it doesn't matter if he is rescued. To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of one sentence.

But now it was his turn to be surprised: "Outside the city... but in the village? Why did His Highness teach them to read?"

"In order to let the people of the world have the opportunity to become the pillar of the Tang Dynasty." Li Yuechen replied.

Speaking of which, in fact, his father Li Zhi did the same thing.

The most typical one is Li Ji, he was born from a real poor family with mud legs, and he climbed up all the way by military merit.

When Taizong was about to die, he demoted him to another place, thinking that one day he would be used by the new emperor.

And he was naturally aware of this, so he formally joined the old man's team during the Lihou incident. He was an extremely human minister and was given the title "Zhenwu" after his death, and his old man went up to the tower and cried to see him off.

Let's not talk about how much sincerity and acting skills are in this set of operations.

But at least, in the eyes of the people in the world, such an operation is Li Zhi announcing to them that anyone, as long as they are useful to the Tang Dynasty, can achieve class leap and shine on the lintel.

Lu Zhaolin didn't seem to have expected to hear such an answer from the princess's mouth, and he froze in place for a moment.

Although he had heard of the song "Compassion to Farmers" by Her Royal Highness, when he read it, he thought it was just a poem written by the palace to please the emperor.

But at this time, after hearing these words and seeing her sincere eyes, I realized that there are still people in the powerful and royal family who have a heart for the world.

Then he bowed very respectfully: "I never thought His Highness would have such a big wish. If you don't dislike it, Lu is willing to help His Highness!"

Li Yuechen nodded slightly, and raised his hand: "Excuse me. Since you are willing, I will get you out of here."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me!"

……

After walking out of the cell, Li Yuechen really felt that Lu Zhaolin was not bad.

Although it is said that the scumbag's behavior should not be washed away, since he has the heart of repentance, I don't mind giving him a chance.

Speaking of which, it's best to say hello to Wu Sansi, otherwise, if he goes to his mother to complain, there may be troubles in the future.

For this cousin, Li Yuechen has never met him.

She had only met Wu Chengsi, but Wu Sansi had only heard of the name but never met him.

Li Yuechen didn't have the slightest understanding of this person.I've seen it in TV series before, but TV series and real history are two different things after all.

After getting into the carriage, Li Yuechen asked, "What is my cousin's job?"

"Your Highness, I am currently serving as the General of the Right Guard." Fu Lai replied.

"Open a few cans and go to meet with me!"

"Here!"

When the carriage returned to the palace, Fulai immediately sent someone to Anfu Hall to open two cans and took them out, then followed Li Yuechen to the Ministry of War with the gift of replacing the porcelain bottle, and at the same time sent someone to go one step ahead to inform Wu Sansi to be ready to welcome him.

……

When Wu Sansi received the news, he was drinking tea and chatting with his cousin Wu Chengsi in the office.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Wu Zetian's edict, these two people might not want to come back here.

Although this place is much more prosperous than other places, it's not a secret what happened in the family back then.

The fathers of the two brothers have already been killed, and now the aunt who is already the Empress of the Tang Dynasty called them back, probably because they are from their own family after all, so they can be used with confidence.

The two of them are not stupid, this aunt can even kill brothers, let alone the two of them as nephews.

So when I came back, I was obedient to my aunt, and would try my best to fulfill any request as soon as possible, for fear of making her unhappy.

Hearing that Princess Taiping was coming, Wu Sansi immediately packed up to welcome her.

Everyone knows that this is the most favored princess in the Tang Dynasty today, even surpassing the crown prince. If the ministers hadn't used death as an admonition, this princess might be the crown prince now!

While tidying up, Wu Sansi had already thought about it in her heart, the princess had to give her face, no matter what request she had, she must try her best to fulfill it!
Not to mention that the princess still has the position of servant of the household department, even if she puts aside her status as a princess, there are still ways to wear small shoes for herself.

When Li Yuechen followed Fulai into the gate of the military department, Wu Sansi was already waiting here.

Although he had never met his cousin, the princess's dressing style was no secret now, so he recognized it immediately.

Seeing the princess coming in, he took two quick steps and came to the front, respectfully saluted: "Think twice, I have seen Your Highness the Princess!"

Li Yuechen turned his head and raised his hand: "Cousin, no courtesy!"

After careful observation, this cousin is also in his early 20s, and his beard has just begun to grow, and has not covered his face yet.

He is not bad looking, and can barely be regarded as a handsome guy.

"I came here in a hurry this time, with a little gift, I hope my cousin won't be disgusted." Li Yuechen said with a slight smile.

"Where is that..." Wu Sansi panicked for a while, and said quickly, "It's a blessing for your Highness to condescend to come here, how dare you say it out of disgust? Your Highness, please come in quickly!"

Li Yuechen nodded and followed Wu Sansi to his office.

After respectfully inviting Li Yuechen to the seat, Wu Sansi tentatively asked: "I don't know if Your Highness is here today, what is your order?"

Li Yuechen didn't talk nonsense, and replied directly: "There is a man named Lu Zhaolin. I think it is very useful. I heard that my cousin was arrested, so I came here to ask."

"Your Highness, forgive me!" Wu Sansi bowed and saluted, "I don't know that this is His Highness's person..."

"Ah, it really wasn't at that time." Li Yuechen raised his hand, "I didn't mean to blame my cousin, but I asked, and he didn't seem to have committed a crime. Therefore, I want my cousin to let him out as a convenience. Come on, just give me a face."
