Li Chengqian has always admired Cen Wenwen, a political opponent. This guy has a calm and intelligent temperament, a good appearance, is good at writing articles, is well-informed and well-informed.You can rest assured that a lot of difficult political affairs are handed over to you. They will definitely do it beautifully for you, and the management will satisfy the people above and below. Just based on this, few courtiers in the court can do it. at this point.

Whether it is the emperor sitting in the court or supervising the country by himself, Li Chengqian has witnessed countless times with his own eyes how he manages the messy Zhongshu Province in an orderly manner.From this aspect, we can understand why the emperor valued him so much. He is indeed a capable official in governing the country. Even the enemies have to admire his ability. No wonder he can become the leader of the scholar-officials. You must know that it is not so easy to settle those tricks .

Even though the official worships the Zhongshuling, Cen Wenwen's life is still very simple. This is not because he has no money, but because he always warns the children in his family to be diligent and thrifty in managing the family, and not to cultivate extravagance to ruin the family tradition.In order to set an example for his family, his residence is low and simple, without any decorations such as mattresses and curtains.

The most important point is that he is a dutiful son, known for serving his mother with filial piety, and also very kind to raise his younger brothers and nephews. If he hadn't been a political enemy with him, Li Chengqian really wanted to make friends with him.

According to Li Xiaogong, his father, Cen Zhixiang, was an official in the Sui Dynasty and served as the Handan Commander. He was sued for something and could not appeal for grievances.His father, Cen Wenwen, who was only 14 years old at the time, went to the Sili official to appeal for his father's grievances. His debating and answering words were sad, fluent and irrefutable.

It was because of this incident that Cen Wenben was favored by Feng Deyi and Li Jing, and then repeatedly recommended in front of the emperor, so there is the current Zhongshu Ling.

But today in the Chengqing Hall, Cen Wenwen changed from his usual respectfulness, and even burst into tears regardless of his manners when the monarch and his ministers played the correct match, which surprised Li Chengqian a little.It turned out that his younger brother, the school secretary Cen Wenzhao, had a lot of bad deeds during his tenure, and Ma Zhouben, the imperial historian, joined the emperor.

Seeing that this person who was usually very humble in front of him could do so many things, the emperor decided to talk to Cen Wenwen, and then let him go out of sight, so his heart was naturally extraordinary. .
"Jingren, your younger brother has many faults. He often uses your name to get into trouble with some unscrupulous officials' sons. If things go on like this, I'm afraid it will hurt you, so I want to transfer him away from the capital." Li Shimin criticized As he spoke, his voice was full of anger. Anyone who knew his temper could tell that the emperor was in a very bad mood.

Seeing the emperor's decisive attitude, Cen Wenwen kowtowed twice and replied: "I lost my father when I was young, and my old mother loves my younger brother most. She doesn't want him to leave her side. If he is allowed to leave the capital, mother will I must be worried. If there is no younger brother, I will not have an old mother. In this way, this family will be gone. Even if I am an extremely human minister, how can I enjoy this wealth with peace of mind? What's the difference!"

Cen Wenzhao is quite an interesting person. When Lu Dongzan came here, Li Chengqian was already very puzzled when he was able to easily solve problems time and time again. In the end, when he got out of the palace drunk and selected thousands of people for the county head, Li Chengqian focused on this and The guy who comes and goes frequently among the Tibetans.

Later, although Changsun Chong found out that he was the one who leaked the news, but because he was suspicious that Cen Wenwen was in favor of the emperor, he deliberately asked his younger brother to come out to make false claims, so he never touched him.But this person is always unchecked. After checking and checking, Chang Sun Chong found that he has some relationship with some people in the inner palace, and he often travels between dignitaries of aristocratic families. What's so tricky about it!

For a person with so many mysteries, how could Li Chengqian let the emperor let him go? Then he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Father, Zhongshu Ling has always been strict with himself, and he never lagged behind others in the education of the children at home. Just look at Cen Changqian. He did a good job in the Ministry of War, and he also made a lot of military exploits when he joined E Guoping in suppressing the Liao tribe's rebellion. This is enough to show that Zhongshuling's tutor is right. .

As for Cen Wenzhao, he did so many foolish things because of the lard for a while. Since he didn't make a big mistake, he should give him a reprimand and let Zhong Shuling take him home and discipline him properly. "

Hearing that the crown prince actually came forward to help intercede, Cen Wenwen couldn't help but gave Li Chengqian a grateful look, and quickly took over the words: "Your Majesty, I must strictly discipline you, please forgive him for the sake of my filial piety."

The emperor had a preference for Cen Wenzhao, otherwise, depending on his temper, how could he let Cen Wenzhao go so easily, choose to let him go, and dismiss him on the spot, okay?

Seeing his confidant kowtowing down and begging for mercy, Li Shimin really couldn't help him, so he asked Gan Yun to go to that ineffective guy.

"Cen Wenzhao, I will forgive you for your elder brother's sake today. I hope you can learn from it in the future and be a good official. If you commit the crime again in the future, I will punish you for both crimes and will never forgive you."

After leaving the Chengqing Hall, Cen Wenwen hurriedly pulled his younger brother to his knees to thank Li Chengqian. It stands to reason that there is absolutely no need for the crown prince to help him.But what he didn't expect was that the prince actually spoke up for his brother regardless of the old evil, which made Cen Wenwen feel guilty for the first time.

"Okay, Zhongshuling, it's just a matter of raising your hands. You and your younger brother are going to perform this great gift. Come on, get up!" After helping Cen Wenwen, Li Chengqian turned his head to his younger brother, and then said lightly: "School Shulang, His Majesty's grace is innumerable, you should do it yourself!".
After leaving the Shuntian Gate, the two brothers got into the carriage back home, watched the elder brother close his eyes and rested his mind, Cen Wenzhao said cautiously: "Second brother, the prince is not bad, isn't he, if he didn't intercede, your majesty It's not so easy to fool around there. Hey, it's a pity, if there is no such thing as that year."

Before his brother finished speaking, Cen Wenwen suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly: "Shut up, if you want to live a good life, you'd better forget about that incident back then. The prince is good, but if you let him know about that incident It’s so true, all the young and old in the Cen family don’t even want to live!”

After teaching his younger brother, Cen Wenwen closed his eyes again. He admitted that what his younger brother said was right. He really did not think carefully about what happened back then, and he shouldn't have done it so badly.Hey, I just hope the crown prince can forget about that incident, otherwise, how can I repay the favor I owed today? If I repay it, I am disloyal to the King of Wu. .
