Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 606 People's hearts, it will stink if left alone

Compared to the frightened Cheng Zhijie, with his great-grandson, Kao Guogong Dugu Kaiyuan's life is getting happier day by day.He went to the palace every three days to have a look. Li Chengqian expressed his understanding of the old man's licking of the calf.His life is hard, his wife and son have died, and there are only a pair of grandsons and granddaughters left in the family. Now that someone is imported, why don't you hurry up and use his little crutches.

No, Li Chengqian came back early today, and seeing that the old man hadn't left yet, he left him for a light meal, gossiped, chatted about family affairs, and checked the old man's habits in Chang'an.I would rather love a piece of soil in my hometown than ten thousand taels of gold in other places. Dugu Kaiyuan has spent half his life in Luoyang. For the future of the princess and concubine, he made a fuss here and delayed his life as an official. Everyone's concerned.

"The old man lived a comfortable life in Chang'an. If you are not satisfied, just tell Miaoyin, don't be polite!" During the conversation, Li Chengqian waved to Heng repeatedly, motioning him to bring the things.

Under the curious eyes of the old man, Li Chengqian opened the long box himself, took out a finely crafted crutch and handed it to Dugu Kaiyuan, and continued: "This crutch was made by Du Gou and the others. The main material is golden nanmu, and the handle is wrapped with a piece of warm jade. The patterns on it also imply auspicious and long-lived patterns. I heard from Miaoyin that your seventy years of life will be in a few days. This is our husband and wife. Some thoughts."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Dugu Kaiyuan replied with a smile: "At this age, the food and drink expenses are not as good as you young people, and it's the same if you stay there. However, His Highness's heart moved the old minister. Ah, sometimes it stinks if left alone." After finishing speaking, the old man put down his chopsticks, got up and tried the crutch prepared by his grandson-in-law.

kindness?The old man has something in his words, even if he is not the grandfather of the Crown Princess, with the prestige of the Dugu family and his status as a founding hero, who would dare to make him angry!Out of curiosity, Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "Old Duke, what's the meaning of this? It's that unobtrusive person who dared to make you angry. Come and talk to Gu, and Gu will vent his anger for you."

If Li Chengqian hadn't given him such a thoughtful gift today, old man Dugu wouldn't have felt so emotional, because it wasn't a big deal, and it was also related to the reputation of a family.But my old friend is really aggrieved, if I don't say a few words for him, the old man will not be able to let go of his anger.

Afterwards, Dugu Kaiyuan told Li Chengqian in detail about his "experience" since he came to Chang'an City.Regardless of seniority or age, there are not many people who lived in the same era as him and can talk together.In Chang'an, Sun Shunde and Chen Shuda were the only ones who were doing everything they could, so the three old guys had a few drinks together when they had nothing to do.

Needless to say, the eldest grandson Shunde, their eldest grandson's family has a queen, a heir, and a prime minister, and all the children in the family are high-ranking officials and horses. Naturally, he has no worries and is happy every day, no matter where he goes Also let people respect.

But Chen Shuda is different, it was his birthday a year ago, a lot of invitations were sent out, but there were less than five tables of people who came to the banquet, many former students and old officials sent servants to give gifts Forget it, I don't care about the feelings of the old birthday star at all.

Dugu Kaiyuan understands that Chen Shuda is holding the title of Jiang Guogong for nothing now, he is an outdated prime minister, and he can't take care of them in the officialdom and career, so it's not a problem whether he sees his "mentor" or not, and everyone doesn't They will stand up and blame each other, so just pass in a muddle-headed way.

Dugu Kaiyuan was born as a general. Although he is old, he still has a fiery temper. Seeing that his old friend was carried away by anger, he made a gesture and asked those bastards to argue. When you don't look up and look down, don't you guys slap people in the face again when you do this?

But Changsun Shunde stopped him, that's how it is in the officialdom, if you have trouble with the villain, then you won't have to live in the future, go back to your hometown in Luoyang as soon as possible, out of sight, out of mind, or say If you don't allow that day, you will be in the Paradise of Paradise.

Don't look at this is the capital, at the foot of the emperor, you should have noticed everything that needs to be taken care of, but the fact is just the opposite, the officials here are all good people, I beg you today, then you are their grandfather , Guaranteed to serve you as comfortably as the third grandson.

But once, you lose your Sacred Heart, you are at the end, then don’t say anything, keep it in a safe place, and even if you encounter it, you will pass by with a humming haha.Human affection, if there is such a thing, it is there, if it is not, it is not.Being able to send these things over is enough to give face, if you ask too much, it is shameless to give face.

Your granddaughter is the crown princess, the future empress, and she gave birth to the eldest grandson. Of course, no one would dare to treat you like this, but Chen Shuda is different. He has already "made the best use of everything" for those officials.

After listening to Dugu Kaiyuan's words, Li Chengqian nodded silently. Han Kui was right before he died. Human feelings are cold and warm, and the officialdom shows itself. Officials, or how many people in this world are not snobs.

Didn't Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin, often laugh at himself as a powerful person?Going out to become a general, opening a government office and building a mansion is the pursuit of all officials. They just don't want their official career to be dragged down by useless people. They have wives and children. Although they have done a little too much, this is not a reason to be criticized , After all, it is a human issue of "the law does not blame the public".

Seeing that Dugu Kaiyuan was very angry, Li Chengqian handed him a cup of tea to let him breathe, and then said: "Okay, old Duke, don't be angry, you are all snobs, there is no need for you to become so old-fashioned. In this way, when you have your birthday banquet in a few days, please invite Jiang Guogong over and tell him that you will save face for him alone, so you are getting old now!"

"Hm? Your Highness, it's great that you can help me. The old minister has thanked Zicong for his kindness. If he knows that His Highness is willing to help him out, he shouldn't come to the East Palace to thank you for your kindness!"

Dugu Kaiyuan understands that Donggong has no friendship with Jiang Guogong's mansion, and the reason why he is so open-minded and willing to show kindness is definitely because of his old face.That being the case, then he has to let Chen Shuda know as a favor, don't be so discouraged, wouldn't it be good to live a few more years?

At the same time, let those people know that the imperial court values ​​veterans and will not forget those who have made contributions. They will leave three points for everything they do in the future. Don't put yourself in it in the end. It's too short-sighted. Why are the eye sockets so so Shallow.

"Hey, why is the old man so polite? They are all a family! Besides, when Jiang Guogong celebrated his birthday, the orphan was not in Chang'an, so now it is a gift for him.".
