Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 11 First Visit to Zhongnan Mountain

Huazhou City, Governor's Mansion

"Inspector Wang, from today onwards you will be the Inspector of Huazhou in Datang. The disaster in Huazhou is serious and things are complicated. I hope you will not forget your heart and work hard for the people,"

"The minister will live up to His Highness's entrustment." He respectfully accepted the imperial decree from Li Chengqian's hand and withdrew.

Qin Qiong on the side handed the notebook in his hand to Li Chengqian, and then said: "Your Highness, the Cui family thanked His Highness for asking for a posthumous title for Cui Wen through Zhijie."

Cui Wen, the magistrate of Baishui County, did not die in disaster relief, but died in his own home during the earthquake.This time he beat the Zheng family, Li Chengqian had no choice but to give the Cui family a sweet date. It is obviously irrational to use his weak power to fight against the two great families.Besides, the dead are the most important, Cui Wen is dead, as for what he has done, it doesn't matter, such a favor is not for nothing.

"The Zheng family hasn't responded yet. During the palace meeting, the Zheng family's forces didn't say a word. It seems that the Zheng family doesn't want this Liangzi anymore." Changsun Wuji looked old,

"It's okay, I'm afraid of la la crickets and don't want to grow dealers anymore. They are powerful people, but they have to think about it if they risk offending His Majesty and confront the current crown prince."

Half a month later, Li Chengqian and his entourage left Huazhou and traveled to Xifeng, where all the troops rested. Li Chengqian took the water bag from Qin Huaiyu, took a few sips, and sat beside Qin Qiong: "Teacher, I heard that Zhongnanshan The scenery is nice, why don't we go and have a look."

Qin Qiong couldn't figure out Li Chengqian's words, "Shouldn't we return to Beijing as soon as possible to restore the order?"

"Teacher, don't worry, let the soldiers go back first, let's go for a walk, and then I heard that the vegetarian food there is good."

"Pfft, cough cough." Changsun Wuji coughed and pointed at Li Chengqian and was speechless. After a while, he calmed down and said with a smile: "You are so unkind, you are counting on the elders, uncle. Bao, you are too sincere, his purpose is not as simple as fasting."

After Changsun Crisis's voice fell, Qin Qiong understood that Li Chengqian didn't want to go out to play, and the fast food he mentioned was probably going to be eaten at the Sanqing Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, and Li Chengqian's real goal was the person in the Sanqing Temple.

"Uncle, don't slap people in the face when you hit someone, and don't reveal your shortcomings when you speak."

"Furthermore, we are sincere to Taoism and pay homage to famous mountains." Li Chengqian said nonsense.

"If you can get him out, my uncle won't go to your mother's place and tell you to steal a drink." Li Chengqian had a headache when he thought of Empress Changsun's ear-raising skills, "Okay, it's a bet."

Zhongnan Mountain is a section of the Qinling Mountains, starting from Meixian County in the west and reaching Lantian in the east. The main peak is located in Chang'an, [-] miles away.Since Yin Xicao created the building concept, successive dynasties have built it in Zhongnan Mountain.

Qin Shihuang once built a temple to worship Laozi in the south of Louguan, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built Laozi temple in Taipei.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were a large number of Louguan temples in the north, temples were added and built, and the Louguan Taoist school was established.

Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji, and Qin Qiong came to Sanqing Temple with more than thirty guards. Heng Lian stepped forward and said to Daotong Jishou: "My young master asks to see Xie Hong and Xie Ke, two Taoist priests. This is a famous post." , please let the little master pass it on for you." Xiao Daotong returned the salute and turned back to the door.

"Your Highness, my brother is all-in-one, what can you do?" Qin Qiong was anxious, knowing that his brother was already a famous general at the age of 20, and the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty was imminent. One more point to win.

Besides, he refused to grant rewards back then, and living in seclusion here in Zhongnan Mountain meant that he was disheartened by fame and fortune. If Li Chengqian could persuade him to come out this time, the brothers in Wagangzhai would be so happy.

"Shubao, what are you in a hurry for? If you can't invite brother Xie, tell the empress about him stealing the drink," Changsun Wuji joked.

While guiding the three of Li Chengqian into the temple, Xiaodaotong explained the biography of the Sanqing Temple to the pilgrims as usual.

Xie Hong and Xie Ke were surprised when they saw Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong. Didn’t the name thorns say that Li’s boy paid homage to the head of the mountain? When the eyes of the two fell on Li Chengqian, they knew it. The identities of the people accompanying Shangzhu Kingdom are self-evident.

"I'm taking the liberty to visit, please excuse me from the two priests." Li Chengqian's uncle and nephew couldn't bear Li Chengqian's Jishou ceremony, so they hurriedly returned the gift.

"I don't know why your Highness is here." Xie Hong wondered if the current crown prince also likes to practice Taoism.

"Come for him." Li Chengqian pointed to Xie Ke

"Oh, Pindao and His Highness have never met before." Xie Ke frowned.

"I, the Li family, only respect Taoism as the state religion. Originally, I shouldn't have come here to be presumptuous, but the country is poor and weak, surrounded by powerful enemies, and the people are miserable. I heard that the general of the gods shot again, so I came here to ask the general to return to the court and serve the country. "

"Your Highness, I am very determined to seek the Tao, and I am afraid that I will fail His Highness's good intentions. Come to Your Highness, brother Fuji and brother Shubao, please try the new tea from Sanqingguan."

Xie Ke guided the three of them to sit down and poured tea for them, "Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness. I have been fighting for half my life, and I have already seen through the world of mortals. Now I can practice Taoism with peace of mind, which is enough to comfort my body and mind."

Li Chengqian stood up, looked at the layout of the room, and said leisurely: "The history books of later generations will definitely write this: Xie Ke, styled Yingdeng, son of the Xie family in the south of the Yangtze River. After obtaining the certificate, he joined Wagang and became the general of Jin Zhendian.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Xie Yingdeng felt timid and lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. He no longer had the courage to serve the people when he was young.

General Xie, what do you think of such an evaluation? When you return to the palace, go to Tai Shiling and ask him to write it in. Hey, why are you blushing? Is the tea too hot? ".

Li Chengqian's innocent appearance didn't dissipate Xie Yingdeng's anger. Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Qin Qiong was stepped on by Changsun Wuji just as he was about to speak, and then Changsun Wuji swallowed the words while shaking his head.

"Pa" Xie Yingdeng dropped the teacup and glared: "You are so rude, don't think you are the crown prince, I won't dare to beat you." After saying that, he began to roll up his sleeves.

"General Xie, your energy-raising skills are not good enough. Are you dedicated to the Tao? I don't think so. You are sticking to the kingly way of the Han family. You look down on my Li family's blood of Hu people and think that we and Shi Yongzhi Generations make no difference,
In your eyes, we are not worthy of your way of Confucius and Mencius, your Yangtze River and Yellow River, and even less your thousands of years of civilization,"

"But since ancient times, the virtuous people in the world have lived here. It is natural that when the dynasties change, the artifacts change hands. The general is responsible for the talents of defending Huo in Huaiyin. Today, the general is not for the Li family, but for the people of the Han family who have died in vain for 300 years. Cheng Qian's words are exhausted here, please think twice."

Xie Yingdeng put down his hand, did it, and sighed, Xie Hong walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "His Royal Highness is right, the Tang Dynasty is my Huaxia Zhengshuo, and my heart will not die if Hulu dies, you How can you forget the righteousness of the country for the sake of your own purity?"

Xie Yingdeng thought for a long time, took a look at Xie Hong, and walked in front of Li Chengqian: "Xie Ke is stupid, Xie Ke was enlightened by your highness' words, and from now on, I will let your highness drive me."

Li Chengqian helped Xie Yingdeng up: "I win the general, just like Liu Xuande wins Guan Yunchangyan."
