Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 607 There is a kind of person called Tim Touer!

In the 12th year of Zhenguan, on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, after reading this chapter sent by Li Daoxing, the king of Changle far away in Shenzhou, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction, and after putting down this chapter, he shook his neck and stretched his waist. With this news At the bottom, he immediately felt at ease physically and mentally.Just like what he said when he launched the general offensive in Songzhou, Kou can go, so can I. It's time to change shape in some aspects.

After handling the last few chapters casually, Li Chengqian took Dugu Miaoyin to perform all the ceremonies of the crown prince, and left the Daming Palace in a mighty manner.Those who know the East Palace know that the prince likes to go on tour, but most of them are troops. The guard of honor in the East Palace is not used once every year. The people in Chang'an City are very curious about the scene today, so there are some good things behind the guard of honor. The people followed.

Knowing what happened later, Li Chengqian didn't ask the guards to drive them away. The common people are always interested in royal affairs, and being able to follow them at ease shows that Li is popular in the hearts of the common people and won't let them be afraid, so there is no need to scare them.At the same time, he also told Henglian that all the guards should be kind, as long as they did not do anything illegal, they should not be frightened, and those who violated the law would be punished by military law.

A while later, outside Kao Guogong's mansion, Dugu Kaiyuan brought Dugu Rui and the ministers who came to congratulate him to stand respectfully at the gate of the mansion. When they saw the crown prince and princess getting down from the carriage frame, all the ministers lined up in a row , and said in his mouth: "I have seen the prince, Your Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

"Come, come, all the ministers and workers are free of courtesy. Gu and the princess are here to celebrate the birthday of their own old birthday stars. They are not going to court, so they don't get those courtesy!" Said with a faint smile.

Then he greeted Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and others, and walked up to Chen Shuda: "Chen Xiang, it's been a long time since I saw you. You have become more energetic. I'm really gratified. An old man in a country is like a treasure. My Tang Dynasty It is really a blessing for the country to have people like Duke Kao and Chen Xiang here! Come, come, come into the mansion together with Gu, and when the old birthday is over, let's have a few drinks together and catch up with each other."

After hearing the prince's words, Chen Shuda's eyes turned red, his lips trembled and he spoke incoherently, although Dugu Kaiyuan greeted him in advance, but this unexpected grace made him unable to accept it for a while.He knew that in order to ensure that the Chen family would not be liquidated by the emperor, he made a deal with the crown prince by extremely disgraceful means.

This is not the way of being a minister, nor what one should do as a senior. In Chen Shuda's heart, there are some behaviors that are not ashamed of himself.In order to protect himself, he played tricks on a child who was not as young as a weak crown.The founding prime minister who had been in office for three dynasties and was an official for a lifetime, turned out to be so vile, hey, I am so sorry for Emperor Taiwu!

In this way, the prince took Chen Shuda, and the concubine supported Kao Guogong, and surrounded by Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and others, they entered the mansion with laughter and laughter. Needless to say, the prince must have said some auspicious words. Let those important ministers respond with a smile.

And those disciples of Chen Shuda who were invited were left alone in the back without anyone to greet them, which made everyone a little ashamed. This scene was definitely the most embarrassing moment since they entered office.

But everyone is here, and the gifts are all given away. You can’t just walk away because no one greets you and lose face. If this spreads to the prince’s ears, it won’t be misunderstood that they have opinions on the East Palace, so they are desperate. He bit the bullet and followed in.

However, they all know why they received such courteous treatment. They also held birthday banquets before and after. Their own teacher and the prime minister who became an official, they didn't save face, but turned around, in order to cling to the East Palace, they specially came to send a test. The flattery of the Duke's mansion.In the officialdom, people like them are usually called profit-seeking, profit-seeking people, and they will be looked down upon and cast aside.

In fact, when they saw the prince kindly going to pull Chen Shuda, they were both surprised and somewhat regretful.What surprised me was the prince's care for Chen Shuda. All civil and military officials in the court knew that shortly after the emperor ascended the throne, Chen Shuda was dismissed from his official position as servant and lost his status. He has been idle at home all the time. Said there was nothing to contribute.

Moreover, because the old ministers of Emperor Taiwu would inevitably not be welcomed, there was no chance to go to the East Palace to speak to the prince on the feast day.In this way, it is impossible to form any friendship with the prince, which makes them very puzzled by the close relationship with the prince.

What I regret is my short-sightedness and ignorance. Although Chen Shuda is an outdated prime minister and a fallen phoenix, he is still very important in the eyes of "those in power". If everyone "misses" his birthday, it is tantamount to offending As for the teacher, if he said a few words about everyone to the prince, wouldn't this official career be ruined hastily, so the feeling of remorse in his heart can be said to be full of heart. .
The birthday banquet held by Duke Kaoguo was the most respectable among all the nobles. Almost all the nobles in Chang'an City were present at the same time, and all the princes of the clan in Beijing also came one after another. King Wang and King Wu also attended the celebration in person. The scene was not too big and the weight was not enough.

The prince even brought the emperor's own inscription "Fortune is like the East China Sea, and Shoubi Nanshan" is hung in the middle hall, which is an extremely rare grace.Except for Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and a few important officials of the court, the others were so blessed, which made the courtiers present both envious and jealous.

After celebrating the birthday, the next thing is to open the banquet. Li Chengqian and Dugu Kaiyuan sit side by side in a row. The first ones on the left and right are Xue Guogong-Changsun Shunde and Jiang Guogong-Chen Shuda. of.Further down are Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and others who were pushing cups and changing cups. With the sound of drums, 36 dancers from the Jiaofang Division danced lightly, and the scene was called harmony.

The most embarrassing thing is that Chen Shuda's old department was arranged in a corner, not to mention, Dugu's family came out to respect guests - Dugu Mou and Dugu Rui, these two young masters just came for a cutscene, which made everyone face completely Sweeping the floor, making them feel like they're a complete addition to the birthday party.

Anyway, the wine was almost drunk, and when he was about to leave, Du Yan, the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came over drunk and said to some of them who were about to be promoted: the court selects officials, and pays attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom. , Believe me, some of you have insufficient virtue, shallow knowledge, and lack of worldly experience, so I am afraid that this year's selection will be useless. How to behave in the future, let's do it for ourselves!

Du Yan's words were covered with wine. They are all colleagues who have known each other for many years. If you don't drink a few more glasses, some things are really hard to say.But there is no way, who let the prince say a few more words about Chen Shuda's experience to His Majesty during the court meeting, so that the emperor could vent his anger on them!
