Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 593
This little guy Li Xiang is a clever ghost. No matter what he is doing, whenever he sees Li Chengqian, he will always stare at his calves and flap his arms, but as long as Li Chengqian is in his arms, he will be honest.Dugu Miaoyin was very dissatisfied with the little guy's love for his father, and complained: "This little thing has no conscience. The concubine conceived and gave birth to him in October, so I don't think he will act like a good boy. If something goes wrong, he will cry in the dark." Yes, now he has become a good boy after seeing his father.

Li Chengqian didn't care about Dugu Miaoyin's sour words. His son, who would he kiss if he didn't kiss him? It is also justifiable to say that you have grandchildren but not children.

On Li Xiang's chest, there is a jade plaque of Erlong Xizhu, engraved with his name, birth date and title. This piece of jade is a piece of beautiful jade that Li Chengqian personally picked out from the Yongchang Mutual Market, and was carved by local skilled craftsmen. , as a birth gift to Li Xiang.

Jade can moisten the heart and lungs, help the throat, and nourish the hair, so there is a saying that people raise jade for three years, and jade nourishes people for a lifetime.The so-called jade nourishing people's life has two meanings, one is for the body, health care, and the other is for the spirit, self-cultivation.A gentleman compares virtue with jade, and uses the five virtues of jade to nourish one's body and mind. This is the best blessing of Li Chengqian, a new father, to his son.

Not to mention, the little guy Li Xiang liked the piece of jade that his father gave him very much. He held it in his little hands and gnawed it every day.No, in the case of Li Chengqian reviewing documents in Linde Palace, the little guy was holding a jade plaque and giggling at the couple.

"Come on, Xiang'er, call Father King, call Father King!" Li Chengqian put his hands on the case, discussing with his son with a smile on his face.After hearing his father's words, the little elephant also held up the sign and barked twice, as if responding.

Watching the interaction between the father and son, Dugu Miaoyin on the side giggled, gave Li Chengqian a hammer, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are too anxious. How old is he? He can talk there!" It's hard for Dugu Miaoyin to imagine that the prince, who is famous for his iron blood, has such a tender side. If outsiders see it, they won't be shocked.

"Hey, that's not necessarily true, maybe my son is smart!" After replying to Dugu Miaoyin, Li Chengqian touched Li Xiang's little face again, and said with a smile, "Isn't it, Xiang'er!"

While the husband and wife were coaxing little Li Xiang to play and enjoy the family happiness, the ignorant Heng Lian wandered around outside the palace for a long time. He knew that the crown prince was in high spirits, and he would be scolded if he went in to report now. But the outsider is also an uncle of the country, and he does not look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. After all, the queen still cares about him.

Stamping his feet, Heng Lian strode into the hall, clasped his hands to Li Chengqian at the bottom of the steps and said: "Your Highness, General Zuo Xiaowei - Xue Guogong - Changsun Shunde and Doctor Yinqing Guanglu - Changsun Anye are asking to see you outside the hall!"

As expected by Heng Lian, Li Chengqian frowned when he heard this disappointing uncle coming. After putting down the rattle in his hand, he said calmly, "Isn't Xue Guogong very happy?"

Li Chengqian could use his ass to figure out that the eldest grandson Shunde was brought in as a brand name. If the old man hadn't been a real relative, he would have already smeared the soles of his feet with oil.

"Yes, Your Highness, Xue Guogong is very reluctant. If he hadn't been dragged by General An Ye, he would have left!" Heng Lian had been working in the East Palace for more than ten years, so he knew about the royal affairs.He has seen shameless people before, but he has never seen such shameless people. He knew that he was not welcome, so he had to be cheeky and ask for introductions. Uncle Guo treated him like this, which was unprecedented.

"Okay, let them come in!" Hearing Li Chengqian's consent, Heng Lian hurriedly agreed and went out to call someone, but Dugu Miaoyin made a gesture to leave the child.This good habit originated from the eldest grandson. The courtiers seek to see him for political affairs. It is not the case for her to be brought here by a woman.The royal family has a rule that no one in the inner palace can interfere in politics. On the first day she entered the palace, Empress Changsun explained this truth to him.

Seeing that Dugu Miaoyin was about to hold the child, Li Chengqian raised her hand to stop her. Of course, she understood what the chess piece meant, and then said in a deep voice, "They are here for family matters, and they have nothing to do with government affairs. You and Xiang'er just stay here !"

After the ceremony, Li Chengqian hugged the little Li Xiang and showed it to the eldest grandson Shunde. Who knew that the little guy liked the beard of the eldest grandson Shunde, and he would not let go of it, and the eldest grandson Shunde, who was hurt by him, could only scratch it with his hands. Tickle little Li Xiang's itch, and let him let go.

"Your Highness, the little prince has a lot of hands. According to the old minister's humble opinion, it will definitely be a good material for horseback riding and archery in the future." Eldest Sun Shunde said while stroking Li Xiang's little hand.

"Yes, yes, this is my grandson!" The eldest grandson Anye, who was watching eagerly from the side, quickly answered.

Before he was afraid of flattering, Changsun Shunde scolded coldly: "What the hell, you are pretending to be a senior in front of me. I tell you that as long as I don't die, you are destined to be a kid. You bastard, get out of here."

Let him scold like this, Changsun Anye's head was tilted down, and the interest on his face disappeared, and he went to the side to find a seat and sat down.Seeing the old man blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, Li Chengqian also shook his head, handed the child to Dugu Miaoyin and asked her to take the child away, and then sat down next to the elder grandson.

"Xue Guogong, I just heard about it. You handed over the retirement notice to the emperor, and plan to retire in Chang'an. The general of the Zuo Xiaowei Army holds a very important position. Are you willing?" After drinking a cup of tea from his grandson Shunde, Li Chengqian said with a light smile.

"Hey, Your Highness, the old minister loves money and power. In the past, he caused a lot of trouble for His Highness. In the end, he just wanted to make more property for future generations. Jiahan is now the Minister of Shangshu, and Jiaqing is even more so. The governor of Luoyang, the two sons live in eight houses and have opened a government office and built a mansion. Zhang Gongjin is also good to that girl Jiayun, and there is His Royal Highness and auxiliary machines in the court to take care of him. The old minister has nothing to worry about. Just work hard and enjoy life in your old age, it shouldn’t block the way of young people anymore.”

When Changsun Shunde conquered Tuyuhun, he fought to the death for him. This is a favor and a heart. Li Chengqian has always remembered it, so when it came to appointing Changsun Jiaqing, he went against all opinions and helped him to be the governor of Luoyang. Such a one is missing.What made Li Chengqian even more satisfied was the old man's attitude. It stands to reason that with his status, even if he didn't do anything, he could be a general until his death.

After the Western Expedition, the imperial court's promotion and rewards for other generals were all down, but only the placement of Su Dingfang, the deputy chief executive, became a problem.There are only a few generals in the northern and southern yamen, and most of them have been adjusted during the merger. The big guys are all promoted by military merit, so they can't be let down for no reason!
Knowing the news, the eldest grandson Shunde gave the emperor a chapter on retirement, and asked the emperor to allow him to serve in retirement.In this way, directly vacating a seat for Su Dingfang is a good medicine for the emperor who has a headache, so when he is mentioned now, Li Shimin always praises him endlessly.Although there is still a reply to his resignation, the emperor has ordered Su Dingfang to be in charge of military affairs for General Zuo Xiaowei, the inspector.

"Yes, yes, after a lifetime of busy work, it's time to take a break. There is another garden at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain. There are many small things in it. Give it to Xue Guogong for hunting in the fields!"

Hehe, "Your Majesty's kindness, the old minister dare not disappoint, I love money today.".
