Datang: Begin with Li Shimin as a father
Chapter 173 Cultivate the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark!
Chapter 173 Cultivate the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark!
Li Gen was full of energy and left Xiande Hall.
At this time, Li Gen wanted to find someone to share his inner excitement and joy, but he couldn't.
Because the secrets in him are too heaven-defying, even if he tells it, no one will believe it.
When I first came to Lantian County, the system gave me some seeds and tools, and then fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep is 12 years.
Just when Li Gen thought that he could only rely on himself in this life, on the day of the coronation of the crown, it was not only revived with full blood, but also unexpectedly upgraded rapidly.
This time, what was given was definitely more than just seeds and tools, but there were still important things to do right now. Li Gen decided to deal with his mother's affairs before doing more research.
Li Gen strode to the Lizheng Hall, and his Princess Qin had already changed into a white dress.
"My lord, the white clothes that the empress asked the concubines to change into..."
Li Gen nodded when he heard the words, knowing in his heart that this white dress is a respect and condolences to the deceased mother.
"Big brother, the childish slave will go with big brother..."
Li Gen didn't expect that Zhinu insisted on going with him.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the manor.
In front of the mother's tomb, various sacrifices were placed.
Li Gen took the arm of his princess and got off the carriage, while the young slaves followed.
After some worship.
The inspector of ceremonies read out His Majesty's edict on the title of noble concubine.
The band of the Jiaofang Division began to play mourning music after the edict from the Supervisor of Rituals was read out.
A group of servants who had already prepared began to dig up the grave, and the whole process lasted for more than half an hour.
The coffin was carried out, Qin Wangfei cried more sadly than Li Gen, and even the young slave cried with tears in his eyes.
More than a dozen people lifted the coffin and headed towards the imperial mausoleum.
The coffin bearers along the way will change a group of people every once in a while.
Because the manor is about six or seven miles away from the imperial mausoleum.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, the group finally arrived at the imperial mausoleum.
Li Delu, the chief servant, was already waiting at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.
The servant guarding the imperial mausoleum also accompanied Li Delu, the head servant.
Inside the imperial mausoleum, everything was solemn!
The imperial concubine's tomb has been prepared, and she can be buried when everyone arrives.
Li Delu, the chief servant, read out the imperial edict again.
After the imperial edict was read out, the mourning music sounded again.
The coffin of the imperial concubine was buried in the ground.
Li Gen naturally fell to his knees again, crying bitterly.
"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, Qin Wangfei, mourning..."
Li Delu, the chief servant, stretched out his hand to help Li Gen up. Li Gen wiped away his tears and helped Princess Qin beside him.
At this point, the mother was finally buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Li Gen strode out of the imperial tomb, the carriage was at the entrance of the imperial tomb.
"Mr. Li, take this money and share it with everyone. Everyone has worked hard today..."
Li Gen took down a wooden box from the carriage, which contained hundreds of taels of gold.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, this..."
"It's okay, I asked you to take it, just take it, everyone is really troubled today..."
"By the way, I will also share a point with the servants guarding the imperial mausoleum. I trouble them to take care of the tomb of the king's birth mother..."
Li Gen took Qin Wangfei and the young slave, boarded the carriage, and went straight to the palace.
"Royal father, queen mother. My son is back..."
"Okay, come and sit down next to the father, the father has ordered the Forgen Restaurant to prepare the food and drink, and it will be delivered soon."
"Wei Mansion also sent a table, and later take Qin Wangfei to Wei Mansion..."
"I would like to obey my father's orders!"
Li Gen was very satisfied with his father's arrangement.
"Gen'er, at the court today, the royal father is discussing with the ministers about your wedding."
"All the ministers offered their advice. Since the ninth day of next month, several princesses of my father will get married on the same day, how about you two also get married on the ninth day of the lunar month. My father will rest for three days and celebrate together..."
Li Gen and Wei Fenfang naturally agreed.
"Father, after meeting with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I want to visit Master Kong..."
"My child, you are the king of Qin right now, and you can visit whoever you want to visit. There is no need to invite the emperor."
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said.
"Father, although my son was canonized as king by my father, he is still my father's son, son, son, first a son, then a minister..."
"If the son-in-law doesn't invite his father and gets his permission to visit the important minister privately, wouldn't it be arousing criticism and forming a clique?"
"Furthermore, the son is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is the duty of the son to set an example for the princes..."
When Li Shimin heard this, his face instantly became joyful.
"If there are many princes of the father, everyone is like you, the father and the mother will be more worry-free..."
"Master Kong has a teacher-student friendship with you, whoever dares to gossip, the emperor will never forgive!"
Li Gen finally understood that he really couldn't visit important ministers privately.
Because, the meaning of father's words is obvious.Because Master Kong has a teacher-student relationship with him, if anyone talks nonsense, he will never forgive him lightly.
What about others who have no teacher-student friendship with him?
Just at this time, the wine and food arrived, Li Gen nodded with a smile, and was just about to pour wine for his father and mother, but he didn't expect his princess to be even faster.
Wei Fenfang filled the four wine bottles one by one with wine.
Let Li Shimin and Empress Changsun nod in satisfaction.
The Qin Wangfei selected this time is really good, and it feels like picking up a treasure.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Gen bid farewell to his father, emperor and queen mother, and took Qin Wangfei straight to Wei Mansion.
If it weren't for Wei Fenfang's guidance, Li Gen really couldn't find the Wei residence.
I also stayed in Chang'an City for a few years, but the time spent in Chang'an City, if the imperial examinations were not counted, was extremely limited.
Inside the Wei Mansion, Wei Zheng and his wife, Mrs. Pei, had brought their children and were ready to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Qin.
Today, Wei Zheng felt for the first time that his daughter became the princess of Qin. It turns out that not only his son is promising, but also his face is bright. It turns out that once his daughter flies to the branch to become a phoenix, the glory on his face will also drop. .
The attitude of the officials towards Wei Zheng today is the most direct and obvious answer.
His Majesty personally sent people to deliver the food and wine, which was also the first time in the world.
"Master, madam. His Royal Highness King Qin and Missy are back..."
"Miss what? That's Princess Qin."
Wei Zheng's eyes widened, and he sternly warned the housekeeper.
The housekeeper hurriedly changed his words and said again.
"Master, madam, His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Qin Wangfei are here..."
At this time, Wei Zheng, his wife Pei, and several children had already reached the gate of Wei Mansion.
"My minister, Wei Zheng, and my family, see His Royal Highness King Qin, see Princess Qin..."
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please forgive me quickly, please forgive me quickly..."
"It's all a family here, why is this! Zhesha's son-in-law."
"Wei Shuwan..."
"Wei Shulin..."
"Wei Shuli..."
"I met my brother-in-law, brother-in-law is really a great hero..."
Looking at the three young men in front of him, Li Gen nodded with a smile.
"Brother-in-law came in a hurry and didn't bring any good presents, so let's each give you a clairvoyance..."
Li Gen's words made Wei Shuwan and the three of them almost cheer with joy.
"Thank you brother-in-law, thank you brother-in-law..."
The three of them held binocular clairvoyance in their hands, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law. The son-in-law brought some small gifts, and please accept it with a smile from my father-in-law and mother-in-law..."
Li Gen handed a wooden box to the housekeeper.
The wooden box contained items brought from Luntai City, such as perfume, towels, soap, shower gel, etc.
Although these have begun to be popular in Luntai City, they are very precious in Chang'an City.
"My son-in-law, I will drink a bottle of wine with my father-in-law today!"
"Father-in-law, one bottle of wine is not enough, at least three bottles of wine!"
"Okay, three bottles are three bottles, let's go home..."
Li Gen smiled and followed Wei Zheng to the Wei Mansion.
Wei Fenfang was behind, holding her mother's arm.
The mother and daughter whispered to each other, which made Mrs. Pei smile happily.
"You, you, it's really a dream come true. Mother still expects to have her grandson in her arms soon..."
In the living room of Wei Mansion, the table was covered with wine and food.
Li Gen naturally respects his father-in-law and mother-in-law first.
Then, Wei Shuwan, Wei Shulin and Wei Shuli toasted their brother-in-law in turn.
Wei Zheng, who is in a good mood, usually has a limited amount of alcohol, but today he drank one bottle after another.
Pei led the children and all left the living room, leaving only Wei Zheng and Li Gen in the living room.
"My virtuous son-in-law, Shuyu and Fenfang, my father-in-law is very pleased to be able to have today. All this is due to my virtuous son-in-law. My father-in-law knows very well..."
"Father-in-law, Shu Yuben is a man of both civil and military skills, and Fragrant is also different from ordinary women. It is also a great blessing in this life for my son-in-law to meet Fragrant."
"Father-in-law, please rest assured, my son-in-law will definitely take good care of Fen Fang."
"My son-in-law, my father-in-law is very relieved that Fen Fang can become Princess Qin. Has my son-in-law ever thought that some people would be worried?"
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law knows what's in his heart, father-in-law doesn't have to take it to heart..."
"Oh... the virtuous son-in-law already has a good plan? On the day Shuyu returned to the mansion, he went straight to Hedong, and frankly said that he was going to visit his grandfather. The father-in-law thought it should be the virtuous son-in-law's idea, right? Visiting the grandfather is just a cover, if the father-in-law did not guess wrong If so, Shuyu should be looking for someone, a person worthy of my son-in-law to look for..."
Hearing this, Li Gen picked up the wine bottle with a smile, took a sip, and said.
"Father-in-law, you really have sharp eyes. My son-in-law is so secretive. My father-in-law can guess it. It's really admirable!"
Li Gen never expected that Wei Zheng would be able to think of this step. Shuyu would never disclose the things he told Wei Shuyu in advance.
Sure enough, he is a man of counselor background, a veteran of trickery.
Li Gen's face was full of smiles. If Li Jiancheng had followed Wei Zheng's words back then, who really owned the world would have been a big question mark.
However, Li Gen is also thankful that none of this happened, otherwise, he would not be where he is today.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, we are now a family. After the Wei Mansion, we are willing to follow His Highness and share life and death together... Right now, we are about to start planning. The more His Majesty values you, the consequences will be unimaginable if someone else becomes the Great Treasure in the future... "
Wei Zheng put down the wine bottle and said solemnly.
"Father-in-law, don't worry. My son-in-law has his own arrangements."
Didn't Li Gen know that what Wei Zheng said was true.
Don't look at yourself at this time, the scenery is infinite, once the new emperor sits on the dragon chair, as Wei Zheng said, the consequences will be disastrous.
Regardless of whether I have the intention to seize the heir or not, since my father canonized me King Qin, I am destined to become a thorn in the side of many people and a thorn in my flesh.
"Oh, what is your son-in-law's plan, can you tell your father-in-law?"
Wei Zheng lowered his voice and said.
"Father-in-law, we are a family now, and my son-in-law will naturally not hide anything. As the saying goes, if one prospers, one will prosper, and one will lose."
"Even if the Wei Manor is innocent, once the youngest son-in-law is framed, it will be difficult for the Wei Manor to be alone just because Princess Qin is the eldest daughter of the Wei Manor."
"So, no matter what, my son-in-law will protect his relatives well. Everyone in the Wei residence is naturally my son-in-law's relatives."
Li Gen's words made Wei Zheng nod very pleased.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law will leave Chang'an City and return to Luntai City after he is about to get married..."
Wei Zheng opened his mouth when he heard the words, but he didn't interrupt Li Gen's words after all. He believed that Li Gen must have his reasons for acting like this.
"Father-in-law, leaving Chang'an City right now is the most sensible move..."
Li Gen lowered his voice and whispered in Wei Zheng's ear for a full cup of tea.
The expression on Wei Zheng's face became more and more exciting.
"It's a good skill, you can build the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark..."
Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
My heart is getting more and more confident in my son-in-law who rides the dragon fast and walks the road of the dragon.
"Father-in-law, a group of officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy, please take care of him, here is a letter, father-in-law just hand it to Ma Zhou Shangshu..."
"Don't worry, my son-in-law, I guarantee that no third person will know about this matter, my son-in-law, Fang Xiang Du, where are they?"
"It's all been arranged. Before I decided to bring Du He and Fang Yiai back, I had already made a plan. Seeing the expression on Prime Minister Du Xiang's face this morning, I feel at ease..."
"Huo Guogong and Dai Guogong, with Chai Lingwu and Li Deju, it must not be a big problem. At least they will never turn against each other even if they don't express their views. This is the best situation..."
"In the past few days, I will not visit any important officials, and I will not let officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy go to the Qin Palace to meet."
"The only exception is Master Kong. This matter has been approved by my father..."
After listening to Li Gen's words, Wei Zheng stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.
"Father-in-law, after Shuyu comes back, let him stay in the mansion until the ninth day of next month and Princess Qinghe's big wedding..."
"It's getting late, if you stay in the Wei Mansion for too long, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Li Gen took Qin Wangfei and left Wei Mansion.
The Wei mansion has been sent up and down to the outside of Fangdao.
The reason why Wei Zheng sent off with such great fanfare was naturally for people to see.
The more this is the case, the more magnanimous the heart appears.
Confucian mansion!
A well-known mansion in the entire Chang'an City.
It's not because of how spacious the mansion is, nor because of how luxurious the mansion is.
Because the person living inside is the Confucian master Kong Yingda, who is currently the highest official of the Imperial College Jijiu and the cultural department of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Despite his age, Master Kong still maintains a good living habit.
Taking a nap after lunch is a habit that Master Kong has developed in recent years.
Ever since he followed Li Gen to develop the habit of napping in the Zhuangyuan Academy, Master Kong felt that it was of great benefit to his body.
However, today, Master Kong was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Li Gen came back, because Master Kong went to the Imperial College yesterday, he never saw Li Gen, which made Master Kong feel very regretful.
Early this morning, when the crown was crowned, Master Kong was so excited that he almost cried.
King Qin?King Qin?
Kong Yingda never dreamed that His Majesty would confer Li Gen as King of Qin.
The meaning of these two words is so extraordinary that it is difficult not to shock people.
The holy will is unpredictable!
Does Your Majesty really intend to train King Qin?
Or put the king of Qin on the fire to roast?
Or maybe both?
Kong Yingda couldn't figure it out in her heart.
There was a faint sound of horseshoes outside, and it was definitely not a horse.
Kong Yingda sat up suddenly, and the sound of horseshoes was getting closer, at least the sound of four or five horseshoes.
The emperor drives six, and the prince drives five!
The carriage also happened to stop at the entrance of the Confucian mansion, and Kong Yingda immediately tidied up his clothes, put on the crown, and took out the mirror gifted by Li Gen, so that he could tidy up.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Kong Yingda hurriedly pushed the door out.
Seeing that the butler was about to walk to the door, Kong Yingda waved his hand, motioning for himself to open the door.
The sixth sense told him that he was here, the young man who once amazed the entire city of Chang'an and brought countless shocks and good memories to Kong Yingda, he came to visit Kong's mansion.
Kong Yingda walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door of the Confucius Mansion with his own hands.
It was that very familiar smiling face that came into view.
"Minister, Kong Yingda will meet His Royal Highness King Qin, and Princess Qin!"
"Student Li Gen, met Master Kong!"
The two blurted out almost simultaneously.
"Master Kong, the students couldn't come to visit yesterday, please forgive me..."
"Your Highness, Wangfei. Please tell the mansion quickly."
Kong Yingda invited excitedly.
"Concubine Ai, go and accompany Master's wife and bring the gift we prepared..."
Wei Fenfang agreed with a smile.
Li Gen followed Master Kong to the living room of the Confucius Mansion.
After the butler served the tea, he saluted and left. In the living room, there were only Master Kong and Li Gen.
"Your Highness, it's great to have you back. Hearing that His Highness led an army to kill the enemy, this old man is really worried. How many nights have I been unable to sleep..."
"Let the master worry about the students. The students are far away in Luntai City, and they miss the master very much..."
The two have not seen each other for many years, so it is inevitable to sigh.
"Your Highness, do you know the meaning of the title King Qin?"
After reminiscing about the past, Kong Yingda went straight to the point. Now that she had made a plan in her heart, taking advantage of Li Gen's visit, if she didn't talk about it, she might not have such a good opportunity in the future.
As for this visit to the Confucian Mansion, Kong Yingda also learned just now that Li Gen personally gave the performance to His Majesty.
"Master, students don't know the meaning of the title of King Qin. Although there was a scene of brotherhood and friendship in the Lizheng Palace yesterday, but behind the peaceful appearance of being born in an emperor's family, there is a shock at every step... "
"From the road of the dragon, it is destined to be extremely difficult..."
When Kong Yingda heard this, she immediately stood up excitedly, staring at Li Gen with fiery eyes.
"Your Highness, have you decided?"
"Master, this is the end of the matter, do you think there are other paths for students to go?"
"If the student finally becomes the great treasure, the princes and princesses of the father and mother, the student can keep them all safe and prosperous for life..."
"If it were someone else, nine times out of ten, it would be a bloodbath and a river of blood..."
"Your Highness is wise, minister, Kong Yingda, I would like to help His Highness!"
"Master, the students will not let you down..."
The two whispered in the living room for a long time. Don't look at Kong Yingda who doesn't make friends with officials, but his eyes are very bright, not to mention that there are so many scholars in the world.
The Guozijian sacrificial wine can be said to be full of peaches and plums, and the officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy above the imperial court are not only Li Gen's students, but also Kong Yingda's students.
At the critical moment, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, the waves that will be created will definitely not be as big as usual.
"Master, take good care of our students. If there is no accident, they will definitely be the first to be targeted."
"So, to be on the safe side, after the student gets married, he will return to Luntai City again..."
"Your Highness is going back to the Western Regions?"
Kong Yingda asked in puzzlement.
"Master, this is how we can buy more time for students..."
What Li Genjiang said to his father-in-law in the Wei Mansion, he briefly told Master Kong again.
Kong Yingda nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
"Okay, since that's the case, I will definitely take good care of our students. If someone dares to touch them, I will spare my life and let His Majesty come forward to uphold justice..."
Hearing Master Kong's words, Li Gen said with a smile.
"Master, you don't have to be like this. Retreat is the best way to advance..."
"The students have already sent letters to Prime Minister Fang Du, Ma Zhou and others."
"If they are above the court, when someone really can't tolerate them, they can return to the local office. At critical times, serving in the local area may not necessarily play a lesser role than being above the court..."
"And if there are a few of them who defect to the other side, that would not be a bad thing..."
When Kong Yingda heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
Wonderful!
It's wonderful!
Breaking into the opposite interior, Kong Yingda was completely overwhelmed by Li Gen's strategy.
"Your Highness is right. Where are Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King? How does Your Highness plan?"
Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County, and Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County, are all powerful people at the moment.
"Master, the two county kings are the only remaining achievements of the royal family. What's more, the Hejian County King was once charged with an unwarranted rebellion."
"The fortune and misfortune of the royal family are all in one thought. The students are their juniors, so they should visit. As for what the students think, they still can't tell the two princes!"
After listening to Li Gen's words, Kong Yingda stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and nodded approvingly.
"Master, the student is retiring for the time being. After returning to the palace, the student invites the emperor to visit King Hejian and Prince Jiangxia. From tomorrow until the day of the student's wedding, Prince Qin's mansion will be closed to thank guests... "
Li Gen led Qin Wangfei and left the Confucian Mansion.
Kong Yingda and his wife kept sending them out the door until the carriage was far away before Kong Yingda turned back to the house.
Li Gen returned to the palace.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are still in the Lizheng Hall.
"Royal father, queen mother. After coming out of the Wei Mansion, my son went to visit Master Kong directly."
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, he naturally knew Li Gen's every move, even when he left the Wei Mansion and when he went to the Confucian Mansion, Li Shimin knew everything about it.
"Father, mother. My son wants to visit Xia Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King. From tomorrow, besides greeting father and mother every day, my son will thank guests behind closed doors and spend time with Wangfei..."
"Oh……"
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun all looked at Princess Qin together.
It seems that the concubine Qin they carefully selected is very much to Li Gen's liking!
This kid actually wants to thank the guests behind closed doors, and is here to accompany her...
"Okay, okay, okay, father and mother are also looking forward to hugging the emperor's grandson as soon as possible..."
"Go, look at your appearance, you drank a lot of wine in the Wei Mansion, don't be too greedy at the dinner party."
"My son, thank you father and queen for your love. My son will no longer be greedy for dinner."
Li Gen took Qin Wangfei and retreated with a gift.
In the mansion of the Prince of Hejian, Li Xiaogong is enjoying singing and dancing.
There are hundreds of people in Hejian County Prince's Mansion just for singers and dancers.
The king of Hejian County, who has nothing to do with the world, lives a chic and comfortable life every day.
"My lord, my concubine. His Royal Highness and Princess Qin are here..."
The kind-hearted old butler of the county prince's mansion had passed away three years ago.
Right now is a young and neat young man.
"Oh……"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong hurriedly stood up and walked outside.
"My nephew and his niece and daughter-in-law have met their uncle and aunt."
"His Highness Qin Wang, Qin Wangfei, please forgive me quickly, please forgive me quickly!"
Li Xiaogong smiled and took Li Gen's hand.
"Auntie, this is a wish from the juniors."
Wei Fenfang held a brocade box and sent it to Princess Hejian County.
"Hahahaha, uncle and aunt have already prepared congratulatory gifts for you."
"My concubine, you accompany Princess Qin to the living room to talk, and bring our congratulatory gifts. This king will take King Qin to the study to catch up on the old days."
In the study of Hejian County Prince's Mansion, Li Xiaogong and Li Gen sat facing each other.
"This king has long expected that today will come, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would confer His Highness as King Qin. He really didn't expect..."
"Uncle thinks, is it a blessing or a curse for my nephew?"
Li Xiaogong never expected that Li Gen would ask such a question.
"Blessings, misfortunes depend on them, misfortunes, blessings depend on them."
"Your Highness, this king knew that you are absolutely comparable to others, but in the future... this king can't help you, it's really powerless..."
"No matter who becomes the Great Treasure in the future, as long as the world belongs to the Li family and the descendants of the Li family sit on the dragon chair, this king will not interfere..."
"However, this king can guarantee that no matter what happens in the future, as long as this king is alive, he will definitely protect His Highness..."
Hearing Li Xiaogong's words, Li Gen got up and saluted.
"Nephew, thank you uncle."
Li Gen naturally knew that Li Xiaogong's ability to make such a promise was already the biggest promise he had made to himself.
Everyone has their own difficulties, unwillingness and helplessness.
"Your Highness, it seems that you are determined to take that path..."
"Uncle, besides this, nephew, is there any way out?"
"Even if my nephew has always lived in the Western Regions, if a decree comes down in the future, I am afraid that my nephew's fate will not be as good as my uncle's now..."
Li Gen's words made Li Xiaogong's eyes turn red instantly.
"Sigh... this king really can't figure out why Shimin behaved like this?"
"Hey...it's really too difficult. Put yourself in the shoes of the people of the world. Your Highness's contribution is really too great. It's not an exaggeration to make King Qin!"
Inside the study, there was a brief moment of silence.
"Uncle, my nephew is going to visit my uncle, Prince Jiangxia, so my nephew has to leave first..."
After the two chatted for a while, Li Gen got up and said goodbye with a smile.
"This king sends His Highness off..."
Li Xiaogong and the concubine personally sent Li Gen and Princess Qin out of the gate of the county palace.
The mansion of Jiangxia County King Li Daozong is not far from the residence of Hejian County King.
Li Daozong is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Changsun Wuji was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Rites after being replaced by Ma Zhou. However, Li Shimin still felt that something was wrong.
The vacant post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was filled by Li Daozong, the former Minister of Honglu Temple.
Li Daozong's family was very happy that His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Qin came here.
After saluting, Li Gen followed Li Daozong to the living room.
This is Li Gen's first visit to Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion.
Naturally, Li Daozong would not go to the study with Li Gen to talk like Li Xiaogong did.
"Xueyan has met His Royal Highness King Qin, and Princess Qin..."
In the living room, a girl in her teens stood up and saluted gracefully.
She really lives up to her name, the girl's skin is better than snow, and her voice is melodious.
"Your Highness, this is the king's second daughter, Li Xueyan."
Hearing this, Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.
"You don't need to be too polite, dear concubine, give the gift to the emperor. There is a glazed mirror of the emperor's sister inside, and many accessories."
"Thank you, Xueyan, Your Highness Qin Wang, thank you Qin Wangfei..."
Little girl, thank you again with a generous salute.
Others don't know about Li Xueyan's future.
As a time traveler, Li Gen is very clear.
Five years later, Songtsan Gampo will start to do things, and then send envoys to Chang'an City to ask the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to give him a princess.
The princess who was given the marriage was Li Xueyan in front of her.
Later Princess Wencheng.
In the 15th year of Zhenguan, on the Yuan Festival, Li Daozong traveled across mountains and rivers, escorting his daughter all the way to Tubo.
One can imagine the hard work and heartache.
"Uncle Huang, Xueyan is really smart and extremely clever."
"His Royal Highness, this child is really smart, far from being outstanding."
"This king made her suffer a lot since she was a child. I didn't know that there is such a daughter in Henan Province until her biological mother was seriously ill..."
"Hey, after the king receives the letter, he will send someone to pick up their mother and daughter, leaving only this poor child..."
"Right now, this king has really doted on her a bit, so it can be regarded as making up for the previous debt..."
Li Daozong couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned the past.
When Li Daozong met for the first time, he talked about his private matters so freely, it was proper that he did not treat Li Gen as an outsider.
"Uncle, can you take a step to speak?"
"Your Highness, follow me to the study."
Princess Qin stayed in the living room, talking with Princess Jiang Xia and Li Xueyan.
Li Daozong took Li Gen to the study.
"Your Highness, on the road to Conglong in the future, I have already discussed with King Hejian. None of us will help you princes."
Just when he sat down in the study, Li Daozong spoke straight to the point.
Hearing this, Li Gen smiled and nodded.
What he wants is this effect, as long as Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King don't help this one and don't help that other, it will be the greatest help to him.
After all, as the clan, the only remaining two county kings, one of them holds military power and the other holds real power.
"Uncle Huang, just now you said that Xueyan suffered a lot since she was a child..."
"She will suffer even more in the future..."
What Li Gen said made Li Daozong's eyes widen.
Li Daozong has already learned about Li Gen's ability to predict some things in the future from Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong.
When Luo Yi rebelled, the severe drought and locust plagues in Guanlong, the Turkic tribes encountered a snowstorm that had not happened in a hundred years, etc., etc., were all mentioned by Li Gen.
"Your Highness, please clarify..."
Li Daozong took a deep breath and spoke.
He knew that since Li Gen could say such a thing, and he came to visit the mansion today, there must be a solution.
"Uncle, after five years, Songtsan Gampo of Tubo will continue to put pressure on the border of Tang Dynasty. At that time, envoys from Tubo will come to Chang'an City and ask His Majesty to marry a princess to Songtsan Gampo... "
"And the clever, lovely, and extremely clever sister Xueyan will be canonized as Princess Wencheng..."
"Uncle, in such a bitter and cold place like Tubo, there is no need to talk about the hard work. Where did sister Xueyan go, but she has no relatives, plus there are obstacles in verbal communication..."
"Uncle Huang, will sister Xueyan be better off?"
call!
Li Daozong's eyes instantly turned red.
It is conceivable that if this is the case, how difficult Xueyan's life will be in the future, and it is no exaggeration to say that life is worse than death.
"Is there a solution, Your Highness?"
"Have……"
Li Gen answered bluntly.
"Your Highness, would you like to help?"
Li Daozong asked again.
"Uncle Huang, Xueyan is my nephew's cousin, helping sister Xueyan is what my nephew should do."
"My nephew will never hesitate to protect sister Xueyan through this difficult time..."
"Okay, that's great."
Li Daozong held Li Gen's hand tightly with fiery eyes.
"Your Highness, what do you need uncle to do?"
"Uncle Huang, you don't need to do anything, just maintain a position of not helping anyone."
"From the road of the dragon, my nephew will go on firmly."
"It will never happen again, the situation where blood flows into rivers and people's heads roll to the ground..."
"Okay, with your words, uncle will feel more at ease. According to your temperament, if you become the great treasure, it will be the great fortune of the country and the great fortune of the royal family!"
When Li Gen left Jiangxia County Palace, Li Daozong and his wife wanted to see him off.
As soon as the carriage left the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia County, His Majesty's orders arrived, ordering Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County, to go to the palace.
When Li Daozong rushed to the palace, Li Xiaogong had already talked with Li Shimin for a long time.
"Sir, see Your Majesty!"
"Chengfan, sit down and talk."
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, motioning for Li Daozong to sit down opposite.
"Chengfan, Gen'er went to your place, did you mention anything?"
"Returning to His Majesty, His Royal Highness Qin thanked the minister for assisting His Majesty for many years, so that the Tang Dynasty is as prosperous as it is today."
"I think His Highness is really Miao Zan."
Hahahaha, Li Shimin nodded happily when he heard the words.
"This kid, that's all I told you? Why is it the same as what the emperor brother said?"
"Returning to His Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin also told his ministers about some family scandals, which are all gossip, so don't mention it!"
"By the way, His Highness also brought gifts to the minister, and the minister also presented the prepared congratulatory gifts to His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Qin."
Li Shimin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.
"Chengfan, if it wasn't for the fact that you and Brother Huang hadn't met each other before coming here, I would have thought that you two were in collusion, and you said the same thing."
"Your Majesty is serious. The hearts of the emperor and the ministers can be learned from the sun and the moon. How dare you deceive Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded with a smile. Unexpectedly, that boy Li Gen was really just a visit from a junior to an elder.
This kid is a bit weak!
Li Shimin really couldn't believe it, he had no other ideas.
Both Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were questioned by him, and the two insisted that His Royal Highness Qin Wang was only visiting and did not talk about other topics.
Li Shimin was a little puzzled now, he couldn't understand the king of Qin he had named himself.
What's wrong?
Li Shimin was also puzzled.
Above the court, among the officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy, it is also very strange that no one came to the Qin Palace to pay their respects.
Was the teacher-student friendship just like this, lost with the passage of time?
This kid, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
I named you the King of Qin, ah?
Aren't you making some noise in Chang'an City?Are you worthy of the title of King Qin?
in the next days.
As expected, Li Gen didn't leave the gate, and he didn't step through the second gate.
Enjoy the world of two with Princess Qin all day long.
It's almost reached the point where I don't want to leave.
During this period, Li Gen finally figured out the full blood resurrection and the upgraded system.
For the future, Li Gen is full of infinite confidence.
Ten days later, a piece of news brought by Li Junxian made Li Shimin's pupils constrict suddenly.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Xin, Minister of Rites, and Liu Qiang, Minister of Officials, had a private meeting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.
This……
Both Zhao Xin and Liu Qiang were students in the first batch of the Zhuangyuan Academy, and they were also Li Gen's favorite students.
The imperial examination results are very good.
He has served in the local area for two years and is deeply loved by the people. Last year, he was just exceptionally appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites.
Li Shimin frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly his brows relaxed.
A bold idea almost made Li Shimin applaud.
Sure enough, I am a hero, a hero, this kid actually played this trick.
This is the rest of Lao Tzu's play back then.
If Cheng Qian believed their words so easily, alas, this prince really failed too.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin said.
"Jun Xian, just pay close attention, don't startle the snake..."
After Li Junxian left the imperial study, Li Shimin picked up the teacup, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Brat, I want to see, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?
(End of this chapter)
Li Gen was full of energy and left Xiande Hall.
At this time, Li Gen wanted to find someone to share his inner excitement and joy, but he couldn't.
Because the secrets in him are too heaven-defying, even if he tells it, no one will believe it.
When I first came to Lantian County, the system gave me some seeds and tools, and then fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep is 12 years.
Just when Li Gen thought that he could only rely on himself in this life, on the day of the coronation of the crown, it was not only revived with full blood, but also unexpectedly upgraded rapidly.
This time, what was given was definitely more than just seeds and tools, but there were still important things to do right now. Li Gen decided to deal with his mother's affairs before doing more research.
Li Gen strode to the Lizheng Hall, and his Princess Qin had already changed into a white dress.
"My lord, the white clothes that the empress asked the concubines to change into..."
Li Gen nodded when he heard the words, knowing in his heart that this white dress is a respect and condolences to the deceased mother.
"Big brother, the childish slave will go with big brother..."
Li Gen didn't expect that Zhinu insisted on going with him.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the manor.
In front of the mother's tomb, various sacrifices were placed.
Li Gen took the arm of his princess and got off the carriage, while the young slaves followed.
After some worship.
The inspector of ceremonies read out His Majesty's edict on the title of noble concubine.
The band of the Jiaofang Division began to play mourning music after the edict from the Supervisor of Rituals was read out.
A group of servants who had already prepared began to dig up the grave, and the whole process lasted for more than half an hour.
The coffin was carried out, Qin Wangfei cried more sadly than Li Gen, and even the young slave cried with tears in his eyes.
More than a dozen people lifted the coffin and headed towards the imperial mausoleum.
The coffin bearers along the way will change a group of people every once in a while.
Because the manor is about six or seven miles away from the imperial mausoleum.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, the group finally arrived at the imperial mausoleum.
Li Delu, the chief servant, was already waiting at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.
The servant guarding the imperial mausoleum also accompanied Li Delu, the head servant.
Inside the imperial mausoleum, everything was solemn!
The imperial concubine's tomb has been prepared, and she can be buried when everyone arrives.
Li Delu, the chief servant, read out the imperial edict again.
After the imperial edict was read out, the mourning music sounded again.
The coffin of the imperial concubine was buried in the ground.
Li Gen naturally fell to his knees again, crying bitterly.
"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, Qin Wangfei, mourning..."
Li Delu, the chief servant, stretched out his hand to help Li Gen up. Li Gen wiped away his tears and helped Princess Qin beside him.
At this point, the mother was finally buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Li Gen strode out of the imperial tomb, the carriage was at the entrance of the imperial tomb.
"Mr. Li, take this money and share it with everyone. Everyone has worked hard today..."
Li Gen took down a wooden box from the carriage, which contained hundreds of taels of gold.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, this..."
"It's okay, I asked you to take it, just take it, everyone is really troubled today..."
"By the way, I will also share a point with the servants guarding the imperial mausoleum. I trouble them to take care of the tomb of the king's birth mother..."
Li Gen took Qin Wangfei and the young slave, boarded the carriage, and went straight to the palace.
"Royal father, queen mother. My son is back..."
"Okay, come and sit down next to the father, the father has ordered the Forgen Restaurant to prepare the food and drink, and it will be delivered soon."
"Wei Mansion also sent a table, and later take Qin Wangfei to Wei Mansion..."
"I would like to obey my father's orders!"
Li Gen was very satisfied with his father's arrangement.
"Gen'er, at the court today, the royal father is discussing with the ministers about your wedding."
"All the ministers offered their advice. Since the ninth day of next month, several princesses of my father will get married on the same day, how about you two also get married on the ninth day of the lunar month. My father will rest for three days and celebrate together..."
Li Gen and Wei Fenfang naturally agreed.
"Father, after meeting with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I want to visit Master Kong..."
"My child, you are the king of Qin right now, and you can visit whoever you want to visit. There is no need to invite the emperor."
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said.
"Father, although my son was canonized as king by my father, he is still my father's son, son, son, first a son, then a minister..."
"If the son-in-law doesn't invite his father and gets his permission to visit the important minister privately, wouldn't it be arousing criticism and forming a clique?"
"Furthermore, the son is the eldest son of the emperor, and it is the duty of the son to set an example for the princes..."
When Li Shimin heard this, his face instantly became joyful.
"If there are many princes of the father, everyone is like you, the father and the mother will be more worry-free..."
"Master Kong has a teacher-student friendship with you, whoever dares to gossip, the emperor will never forgive!"
Li Gen finally understood that he really couldn't visit important ministers privately.
Because, the meaning of father's words is obvious.Because Master Kong has a teacher-student relationship with him, if anyone talks nonsense, he will never forgive him lightly.
What about others who have no teacher-student friendship with him?
Just at this time, the wine and food arrived, Li Gen nodded with a smile, and was just about to pour wine for his father and mother, but he didn't expect his princess to be even faster.
Wei Fenfang filled the four wine bottles one by one with wine.
Let Li Shimin and Empress Changsun nod in satisfaction.
The Qin Wangfei selected this time is really good, and it feels like picking up a treasure.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Gen bid farewell to his father, emperor and queen mother, and took Qin Wangfei straight to Wei Mansion.
If it weren't for Wei Fenfang's guidance, Li Gen really couldn't find the Wei residence.
I also stayed in Chang'an City for a few years, but the time spent in Chang'an City, if the imperial examinations were not counted, was extremely limited.
Inside the Wei Mansion, Wei Zheng and his wife, Mrs. Pei, had brought their children and were ready to welcome the arrival of His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Qin.
Today, Wei Zheng felt for the first time that his daughter became the princess of Qin. It turns out that not only his son is promising, but also his face is bright. It turns out that once his daughter flies to the branch to become a phoenix, the glory on his face will also drop. .
The attitude of the officials towards Wei Zheng today is the most direct and obvious answer.
His Majesty personally sent people to deliver the food and wine, which was also the first time in the world.
"Master, madam. His Royal Highness King Qin and Missy are back..."
"Miss what? That's Princess Qin."
Wei Zheng's eyes widened, and he sternly warned the housekeeper.
The housekeeper hurriedly changed his words and said again.
"Master, madam, His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Qin Wangfei are here..."
At this time, Wei Zheng, his wife Pei, and several children had already reached the gate of Wei Mansion.
"My minister, Wei Zheng, and my family, see His Royal Highness King Qin, see Princess Qin..."
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please forgive me quickly, please forgive me quickly..."
"It's all a family here, why is this! Zhesha's son-in-law."
"Wei Shuwan..."
"Wei Shulin..."
"Wei Shuli..."
"I met my brother-in-law, brother-in-law is really a great hero..."
Looking at the three young men in front of him, Li Gen nodded with a smile.
"Brother-in-law came in a hurry and didn't bring any good presents, so let's each give you a clairvoyance..."
Li Gen's words made Wei Shuwan and the three of them almost cheer with joy.
"Thank you brother-in-law, thank you brother-in-law..."
The three of them held binocular clairvoyance in their hands, their eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law. The son-in-law brought some small gifts, and please accept it with a smile from my father-in-law and mother-in-law..."
Li Gen handed a wooden box to the housekeeper.
The wooden box contained items brought from Luntai City, such as perfume, towels, soap, shower gel, etc.
Although these have begun to be popular in Luntai City, they are very precious in Chang'an City.
"My son-in-law, I will drink a bottle of wine with my father-in-law today!"
"Father-in-law, one bottle of wine is not enough, at least three bottles of wine!"
"Okay, three bottles are three bottles, let's go home..."
Li Gen smiled and followed Wei Zheng to the Wei Mansion.
Wei Fenfang was behind, holding her mother's arm.
The mother and daughter whispered to each other, which made Mrs. Pei smile happily.
"You, you, it's really a dream come true. Mother still expects to have her grandson in her arms soon..."
In the living room of Wei Mansion, the table was covered with wine and food.
Li Gen naturally respects his father-in-law and mother-in-law first.
Then, Wei Shuwan, Wei Shulin and Wei Shuli toasted their brother-in-law in turn.
Wei Zheng, who is in a good mood, usually has a limited amount of alcohol, but today he drank one bottle after another.
Pei led the children and all left the living room, leaving only Wei Zheng and Li Gen in the living room.
"My virtuous son-in-law, Shuyu and Fenfang, my father-in-law is very pleased to be able to have today. All this is due to my virtuous son-in-law. My father-in-law knows very well..."
"Father-in-law, Shu Yuben is a man of both civil and military skills, and Fragrant is also different from ordinary women. It is also a great blessing in this life for my son-in-law to meet Fragrant."
"Father-in-law, please rest assured, my son-in-law will definitely take good care of Fen Fang."
"My son-in-law, my father-in-law is very relieved that Fen Fang can become Princess Qin. Has my son-in-law ever thought that some people would be worried?"
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law knows what's in his heart, father-in-law doesn't have to take it to heart..."
"Oh... the virtuous son-in-law already has a good plan? On the day Shuyu returned to the mansion, he went straight to Hedong, and frankly said that he was going to visit his grandfather. The father-in-law thought it should be the virtuous son-in-law's idea, right? Visiting the grandfather is just a cover, if the father-in-law did not guess wrong If so, Shuyu should be looking for someone, a person worthy of my son-in-law to look for..."
Hearing this, Li Gen picked up the wine bottle with a smile, took a sip, and said.
"Father-in-law, you really have sharp eyes. My son-in-law is so secretive. My father-in-law can guess it. It's really admirable!"
Li Gen never expected that Wei Zheng would be able to think of this step. Shuyu would never disclose the things he told Wei Shuyu in advance.
Sure enough, he is a man of counselor background, a veteran of trickery.
Li Gen's face was full of smiles. If Li Jiancheng had followed Wei Zheng's words back then, who really owned the world would have been a big question mark.
However, Li Gen is also thankful that none of this happened, otherwise, he would not be where he is today.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, we are now a family. After the Wei Mansion, we are willing to follow His Highness and share life and death together... Right now, we are about to start planning. The more His Majesty values you, the consequences will be unimaginable if someone else becomes the Great Treasure in the future... "
Wei Zheng put down the wine bottle and said solemnly.
"Father-in-law, don't worry. My son-in-law has his own arrangements."
Didn't Li Gen know that what Wei Zheng said was true.
Don't look at yourself at this time, the scenery is infinite, once the new emperor sits on the dragon chair, as Wei Zheng said, the consequences will be disastrous.
Regardless of whether I have the intention to seize the heir or not, since my father canonized me King Qin, I am destined to become a thorn in the side of many people and a thorn in my flesh.
"Oh, what is your son-in-law's plan, can you tell your father-in-law?"
Wei Zheng lowered his voice and said.
"Father-in-law, we are a family now, and my son-in-law will naturally not hide anything. As the saying goes, if one prospers, one will prosper, and one will lose."
"Even if the Wei Manor is innocent, once the youngest son-in-law is framed, it will be difficult for the Wei Manor to be alone just because Princess Qin is the eldest daughter of the Wei Manor."
"So, no matter what, my son-in-law will protect his relatives well. Everyone in the Wei residence is naturally my son-in-law's relatives."
Li Gen's words made Wei Zheng nod very pleased.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law will leave Chang'an City and return to Luntai City after he is about to get married..."
Wei Zheng opened his mouth when he heard the words, but he didn't interrupt Li Gen's words after all. He believed that Li Gen must have his reasons for acting like this.
"Father-in-law, leaving Chang'an City right now is the most sensible move..."
Li Gen lowered his voice and whispered in Wei Zheng's ear for a full cup of tea.
The expression on Wei Zheng's face became more and more exciting.
"It's a good skill, you can build the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark..."
Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
My heart is getting more and more confident in my son-in-law who rides the dragon fast and walks the road of the dragon.
"Father-in-law, a group of officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy, please take care of him, here is a letter, father-in-law just hand it to Ma Zhou Shangshu..."
"Don't worry, my son-in-law, I guarantee that no third person will know about this matter, my son-in-law, Fang Xiang Du, where are they?"
"It's all been arranged. Before I decided to bring Du He and Fang Yiai back, I had already made a plan. Seeing the expression on Prime Minister Du Xiang's face this morning, I feel at ease..."
"Huo Guogong and Dai Guogong, with Chai Lingwu and Li Deju, it must not be a big problem. At least they will never turn against each other even if they don't express their views. This is the best situation..."
"In the past few days, I will not visit any important officials, and I will not let officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy go to the Qin Palace to meet."
"The only exception is Master Kong. This matter has been approved by my father..."
After listening to Li Gen's words, Wei Zheng stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.
"Father-in-law, after Shuyu comes back, let him stay in the mansion until the ninth day of next month and Princess Qinghe's big wedding..."
"It's getting late, if you stay in the Wei Mansion for too long, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Li Gen took Qin Wangfei and left Wei Mansion.
The Wei mansion has been sent up and down to the outside of Fangdao.
The reason why Wei Zheng sent off with such great fanfare was naturally for people to see.
The more this is the case, the more magnanimous the heart appears.
Confucian mansion!
A well-known mansion in the entire Chang'an City.
It's not because of how spacious the mansion is, nor because of how luxurious the mansion is.
Because the person living inside is the Confucian master Kong Yingda, who is currently the highest official of the Imperial College Jijiu and the cultural department of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Despite his age, Master Kong still maintains a good living habit.
Taking a nap after lunch is a habit that Master Kong has developed in recent years.
Ever since he followed Li Gen to develop the habit of napping in the Zhuangyuan Academy, Master Kong felt that it was of great benefit to his body.
However, today, Master Kong was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Li Gen came back, because Master Kong went to the Imperial College yesterday, he never saw Li Gen, which made Master Kong feel very regretful.
Early this morning, when the crown was crowned, Master Kong was so excited that he almost cried.
King Qin?King Qin?
Kong Yingda never dreamed that His Majesty would confer Li Gen as King of Qin.
The meaning of these two words is so extraordinary that it is difficult not to shock people.
The holy will is unpredictable!
Does Your Majesty really intend to train King Qin?
Or put the king of Qin on the fire to roast?
Or maybe both?
Kong Yingda couldn't figure it out in her heart.
There was a faint sound of horseshoes outside, and it was definitely not a horse.
Kong Yingda sat up suddenly, and the sound of horseshoes was getting closer, at least the sound of four or five horseshoes.
The emperor drives six, and the prince drives five!
The carriage also happened to stop at the entrance of the Confucian mansion, and Kong Yingda immediately tidied up his clothes, put on the crown, and took out the mirror gifted by Li Gen, so that he could tidy up.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Kong Yingda hurriedly pushed the door out.
Seeing that the butler was about to walk to the door, Kong Yingda waved his hand, motioning for himself to open the door.
The sixth sense told him that he was here, the young man who once amazed the entire city of Chang'an and brought countless shocks and good memories to Kong Yingda, he came to visit Kong's mansion.
Kong Yingda walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door of the Confucius Mansion with his own hands.
It was that very familiar smiling face that came into view.
"Minister, Kong Yingda will meet His Royal Highness King Qin, and Princess Qin!"
"Student Li Gen, met Master Kong!"
The two blurted out almost simultaneously.
"Master Kong, the students couldn't come to visit yesterday, please forgive me..."
"Your Highness, Wangfei. Please tell the mansion quickly."
Kong Yingda invited excitedly.
"Concubine Ai, go and accompany Master's wife and bring the gift we prepared..."
Wei Fenfang agreed with a smile.
Li Gen followed Master Kong to the living room of the Confucius Mansion.
After the butler served the tea, he saluted and left. In the living room, there were only Master Kong and Li Gen.
"Your Highness, it's great to have you back. Hearing that His Highness led an army to kill the enemy, this old man is really worried. How many nights have I been unable to sleep..."
"Let the master worry about the students. The students are far away in Luntai City, and they miss the master very much..."
The two have not seen each other for many years, so it is inevitable to sigh.
"Your Highness, do you know the meaning of the title King Qin?"
After reminiscing about the past, Kong Yingda went straight to the point. Now that she had made a plan in her heart, taking advantage of Li Gen's visit, if she didn't talk about it, she might not have such a good opportunity in the future.
As for this visit to the Confucian Mansion, Kong Yingda also learned just now that Li Gen personally gave the performance to His Majesty.
"Master, students don't know the meaning of the title of King Qin. Although there was a scene of brotherhood and friendship in the Lizheng Palace yesterday, but behind the peaceful appearance of being born in an emperor's family, there is a shock at every step... "
"From the road of the dragon, it is destined to be extremely difficult..."
When Kong Yingda heard this, she immediately stood up excitedly, staring at Li Gen with fiery eyes.
"Your Highness, have you decided?"
"Master, this is the end of the matter, do you think there are other paths for students to go?"
"If the student finally becomes the great treasure, the princes and princesses of the father and mother, the student can keep them all safe and prosperous for life..."
"If it were someone else, nine times out of ten, it would be a bloodbath and a river of blood..."
"Your Highness is wise, minister, Kong Yingda, I would like to help His Highness!"
"Master, the students will not let you down..."
The two whispered in the living room for a long time. Don't look at Kong Yingda who doesn't make friends with officials, but his eyes are very bright, not to mention that there are so many scholars in the world.
The Guozijian sacrificial wine can be said to be full of peaches and plums, and the officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy above the imperial court are not only Li Gen's students, but also Kong Yingda's students.
At the critical moment, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, the waves that will be created will definitely not be as big as usual.
"Master, take good care of our students. If there is no accident, they will definitely be the first to be targeted."
"So, to be on the safe side, after the student gets married, he will return to Luntai City again..."
"Your Highness is going back to the Western Regions?"
Kong Yingda asked in puzzlement.
"Master, this is how we can buy more time for students..."
What Li Genjiang said to his father-in-law in the Wei Mansion, he briefly told Master Kong again.
Kong Yingda nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
"Okay, since that's the case, I will definitely take good care of our students. If someone dares to touch them, I will spare my life and let His Majesty come forward to uphold justice..."
Hearing Master Kong's words, Li Gen said with a smile.
"Master, you don't have to be like this. Retreat is the best way to advance..."
"The students have already sent letters to Prime Minister Fang Du, Ma Zhou and others."
"If they are above the court, when someone really can't tolerate them, they can return to the local office. At critical times, serving in the local area may not necessarily play a lesser role than being above the court..."
"And if there are a few of them who defect to the other side, that would not be a bad thing..."
When Kong Yingda heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
Wonderful!
It's wonderful!
Breaking into the opposite interior, Kong Yingda was completely overwhelmed by Li Gen's strategy.
"Your Highness is right. Where are Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King? How does Your Highness plan?"
Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian County, and Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County, are all powerful people at the moment.
"Master, the two county kings are the only remaining achievements of the royal family. What's more, the Hejian County King was once charged with an unwarranted rebellion."
"The fortune and misfortune of the royal family are all in one thought. The students are their juniors, so they should visit. As for what the students think, they still can't tell the two princes!"
After listening to Li Gen's words, Kong Yingda stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and nodded approvingly.
"Master, the student is retiring for the time being. After returning to the palace, the student invites the emperor to visit King Hejian and Prince Jiangxia. From tomorrow until the day of the student's wedding, Prince Qin's mansion will be closed to thank guests... "
Li Gen led Qin Wangfei and left the Confucian Mansion.
Kong Yingda and his wife kept sending them out the door until the carriage was far away before Kong Yingda turned back to the house.
Li Gen returned to the palace.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are still in the Lizheng Hall.
"Royal father, queen mother. After coming out of the Wei Mansion, my son went to visit Master Kong directly."
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, he naturally knew Li Gen's every move, even when he left the Wei Mansion and when he went to the Confucian Mansion, Li Shimin knew everything about it.
"Father, mother. My son wants to visit Xia Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King. From tomorrow, besides greeting father and mother every day, my son will thank guests behind closed doors and spend time with Wangfei..."
"Oh……"
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun all looked at Princess Qin together.
It seems that the concubine Qin they carefully selected is very much to Li Gen's liking!
This kid actually wants to thank the guests behind closed doors, and is here to accompany her...
"Okay, okay, okay, father and mother are also looking forward to hugging the emperor's grandson as soon as possible..."
"Go, look at your appearance, you drank a lot of wine in the Wei Mansion, don't be too greedy at the dinner party."
"My son, thank you father and queen for your love. My son will no longer be greedy for dinner."
Li Gen took Qin Wangfei and retreated with a gift.
In the mansion of the Prince of Hejian, Li Xiaogong is enjoying singing and dancing.
There are hundreds of people in Hejian County Prince's Mansion just for singers and dancers.
The king of Hejian County, who has nothing to do with the world, lives a chic and comfortable life every day.
"My lord, my concubine. His Royal Highness and Princess Qin are here..."
The kind-hearted old butler of the county prince's mansion had passed away three years ago.
Right now is a young and neat young man.
"Oh……"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong hurriedly stood up and walked outside.
"My nephew and his niece and daughter-in-law have met their uncle and aunt."
"His Highness Qin Wang, Qin Wangfei, please forgive me quickly, please forgive me quickly!"
Li Xiaogong smiled and took Li Gen's hand.
"Auntie, this is a wish from the juniors."
Wei Fenfang held a brocade box and sent it to Princess Hejian County.
"Hahahaha, uncle and aunt have already prepared congratulatory gifts for you."
"My concubine, you accompany Princess Qin to the living room to talk, and bring our congratulatory gifts. This king will take King Qin to the study to catch up on the old days."
In the study of Hejian County Prince's Mansion, Li Xiaogong and Li Gen sat facing each other.
"This king has long expected that today will come, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would confer His Highness as King Qin. He really didn't expect..."
"Uncle thinks, is it a blessing or a curse for my nephew?"
Li Xiaogong never expected that Li Gen would ask such a question.
"Blessings, misfortunes depend on them, misfortunes, blessings depend on them."
"Your Highness, this king knew that you are absolutely comparable to others, but in the future... this king can't help you, it's really powerless..."
"No matter who becomes the Great Treasure in the future, as long as the world belongs to the Li family and the descendants of the Li family sit on the dragon chair, this king will not interfere..."
"However, this king can guarantee that no matter what happens in the future, as long as this king is alive, he will definitely protect His Highness..."
Hearing Li Xiaogong's words, Li Gen got up and saluted.
"Nephew, thank you uncle."
Li Gen naturally knew that Li Xiaogong's ability to make such a promise was already the biggest promise he had made to himself.
Everyone has their own difficulties, unwillingness and helplessness.
"Your Highness, it seems that you are determined to take that path..."
"Uncle, besides this, nephew, is there any way out?"
"Even if my nephew has always lived in the Western Regions, if a decree comes down in the future, I am afraid that my nephew's fate will not be as good as my uncle's now..."
Li Gen's words made Li Xiaogong's eyes turn red instantly.
"Sigh... this king really can't figure out why Shimin behaved like this?"
"Hey...it's really too difficult. Put yourself in the shoes of the people of the world. Your Highness's contribution is really too great. It's not an exaggeration to make King Qin!"
Inside the study, there was a brief moment of silence.
"Uncle, my nephew is going to visit my uncle, Prince Jiangxia, so my nephew has to leave first..."
After the two chatted for a while, Li Gen got up and said goodbye with a smile.
"This king sends His Highness off..."
Li Xiaogong and the concubine personally sent Li Gen and Princess Qin out of the gate of the county palace.
The mansion of Jiangxia County King Li Daozong is not far from the residence of Hejian County King.
Li Daozong is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Changsun Wuji was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Rites after being replaced by Ma Zhou. However, Li Shimin still felt that something was wrong.
The vacant post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was filled by Li Daozong, the former Minister of Honglu Temple.
Li Daozong's family was very happy that His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Qin came here.
After saluting, Li Gen followed Li Daozong to the living room.
This is Li Gen's first visit to Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion.
Naturally, Li Daozong would not go to the study with Li Gen to talk like Li Xiaogong did.
"Xueyan has met His Royal Highness King Qin, and Princess Qin..."
In the living room, a girl in her teens stood up and saluted gracefully.
She really lives up to her name, the girl's skin is better than snow, and her voice is melodious.
"Your Highness, this is the king's second daughter, Li Xueyan."
Hearing this, Li Gen nodded with a smile and said.
"You don't need to be too polite, dear concubine, give the gift to the emperor. There is a glazed mirror of the emperor's sister inside, and many accessories."
"Thank you, Xueyan, Your Highness Qin Wang, thank you Qin Wangfei..."
Little girl, thank you again with a generous salute.
Others don't know about Li Xueyan's future.
As a time traveler, Li Gen is very clear.
Five years later, Songtsan Gampo will start to do things, and then send envoys to Chang'an City to ask the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to give him a princess.
The princess who was given the marriage was Li Xueyan in front of her.
Later Princess Wencheng.
In the 15th year of Zhenguan, on the Yuan Festival, Li Daozong traveled across mountains and rivers, escorting his daughter all the way to Tubo.
One can imagine the hard work and heartache.
"Uncle Huang, Xueyan is really smart and extremely clever."
"His Royal Highness, this child is really smart, far from being outstanding."
"This king made her suffer a lot since she was a child. I didn't know that there is such a daughter in Henan Province until her biological mother was seriously ill..."
"Hey, after the king receives the letter, he will send someone to pick up their mother and daughter, leaving only this poor child..."
"Right now, this king has really doted on her a bit, so it can be regarded as making up for the previous debt..."
Li Daozong couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned the past.
When Li Daozong met for the first time, he talked about his private matters so freely, it was proper that he did not treat Li Gen as an outsider.
"Uncle, can you take a step to speak?"
"Your Highness, follow me to the study."
Princess Qin stayed in the living room, talking with Princess Jiang Xia and Li Xueyan.
Li Daozong took Li Gen to the study.
"Your Highness, on the road to Conglong in the future, I have already discussed with King Hejian. None of us will help you princes."
Just when he sat down in the study, Li Daozong spoke straight to the point.
Hearing this, Li Gen smiled and nodded.
What he wants is this effect, as long as Hejian County King and Jiangxia County King don't help this one and don't help that other, it will be the greatest help to him.
After all, as the clan, the only remaining two county kings, one of them holds military power and the other holds real power.
"Uncle Huang, just now you said that Xueyan suffered a lot since she was a child..."
"She will suffer even more in the future..."
What Li Gen said made Li Daozong's eyes widen.
Li Daozong has already learned about Li Gen's ability to predict some things in the future from Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong.
When Luo Yi rebelled, the severe drought and locust plagues in Guanlong, the Turkic tribes encountered a snowstorm that had not happened in a hundred years, etc., etc., were all mentioned by Li Gen.
"Your Highness, please clarify..."
Li Daozong took a deep breath and spoke.
He knew that since Li Gen could say such a thing, and he came to visit the mansion today, there must be a solution.
"Uncle, after five years, Songtsan Gampo of Tubo will continue to put pressure on the border of Tang Dynasty. At that time, envoys from Tubo will come to Chang'an City and ask His Majesty to marry a princess to Songtsan Gampo... "
"And the clever, lovely, and extremely clever sister Xueyan will be canonized as Princess Wencheng..."
"Uncle, in such a bitter and cold place like Tubo, there is no need to talk about the hard work. Where did sister Xueyan go, but she has no relatives, plus there are obstacles in verbal communication..."
"Uncle Huang, will sister Xueyan be better off?"
call!
Li Daozong's eyes instantly turned red.
It is conceivable that if this is the case, how difficult Xueyan's life will be in the future, and it is no exaggeration to say that life is worse than death.
"Is there a solution, Your Highness?"
"Have……"
Li Gen answered bluntly.
"Your Highness, would you like to help?"
Li Daozong asked again.
"Uncle Huang, Xueyan is my nephew's cousin, helping sister Xueyan is what my nephew should do."
"My nephew will never hesitate to protect sister Xueyan through this difficult time..."
"Okay, that's great."
Li Daozong held Li Gen's hand tightly with fiery eyes.
"Your Highness, what do you need uncle to do?"
"Uncle Huang, you don't need to do anything, just maintain a position of not helping anyone."
"From the road of the dragon, my nephew will go on firmly."
"It will never happen again, the situation where blood flows into rivers and people's heads roll to the ground..."
"Okay, with your words, uncle will feel more at ease. According to your temperament, if you become the great treasure, it will be the great fortune of the country and the great fortune of the royal family!"
When Li Gen left Jiangxia County Palace, Li Daozong and his wife wanted to see him off.
As soon as the carriage left the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia County, His Majesty's orders arrived, ordering Li Daozong, King of Jiangxia County, to go to the palace.
When Li Daozong rushed to the palace, Li Xiaogong had already talked with Li Shimin for a long time.
"Sir, see Your Majesty!"
"Chengfan, sit down and talk."
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, motioning for Li Daozong to sit down opposite.
"Chengfan, Gen'er went to your place, did you mention anything?"
"Returning to His Majesty, His Royal Highness Qin thanked the minister for assisting His Majesty for many years, so that the Tang Dynasty is as prosperous as it is today."
"I think His Highness is really Miao Zan."
Hahahaha, Li Shimin nodded happily when he heard the words.
"This kid, that's all I told you? Why is it the same as what the emperor brother said?"
"Returning to His Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin also told his ministers about some family scandals, which are all gossip, so don't mention it!"
"By the way, His Highness also brought gifts to the minister, and the minister also presented the prepared congratulatory gifts to His Royal Highness King Qin and Princess Qin."
Li Shimin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile.
"Chengfan, if it wasn't for the fact that you and Brother Huang hadn't met each other before coming here, I would have thought that you two were in collusion, and you said the same thing."
"Your Majesty is serious. The hearts of the emperor and the ministers can be learned from the sun and the moon. How dare you deceive Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded with a smile. Unexpectedly, that boy Li Gen was really just a visit from a junior to an elder.
This kid is a bit weak!
Li Shimin really couldn't believe it, he had no other ideas.
Both Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were questioned by him, and the two insisted that His Royal Highness Qin Wang was only visiting and did not talk about other topics.
Li Shimin was a little puzzled now, he couldn't understand the king of Qin he had named himself.
What's wrong?
Li Shimin was also puzzled.
Above the court, among the officials from the Zhuangyuan Academy, it is also very strange that no one came to the Qin Palace to pay their respects.
Was the teacher-student friendship just like this, lost with the passage of time?
This kid, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
I named you the King of Qin, ah?
Aren't you making some noise in Chang'an City?Are you worthy of the title of King Qin?
in the next days.
As expected, Li Gen didn't leave the gate, and he didn't step through the second gate.
Enjoy the world of two with Princess Qin all day long.
It's almost reached the point where I don't want to leave.
During this period, Li Gen finally figured out the full blood resurrection and the upgraded system.
For the future, Li Gen is full of infinite confidence.
Ten days later, a piece of news brought by Li Junxian made Li Shimin's pupils constrict suddenly.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Xin, Minister of Rites, and Liu Qiang, Minister of Officials, had a private meeting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.
This……
Both Zhao Xin and Liu Qiang were students in the first batch of the Zhuangyuan Academy, and they were also Li Gen's favorite students.
The imperial examination results are very good.
He has served in the local area for two years and is deeply loved by the people. Last year, he was just exceptionally appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites.
Li Shimin frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly his brows relaxed.
A bold idea almost made Li Shimin applaud.
Sure enough, I am a hero, a hero, this kid actually played this trick.
This is the rest of Lao Tzu's play back then.
If Cheng Qian believed their words so easily, alas, this prince really failed too.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin said.
"Jun Xian, just pay close attention, don't startle the snake..."
After Li Junxian left the imperial study, Li Shimin picked up the teacup, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Brat, I want to see, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?
