Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 142 The Prince's Ambition

The Mid-Autumn Festival is very lively, and the city of Chang'an is decorated with lights and colors, showing the prosperity of a powerful dynasty.

Every household in the folk places wine to worship their ancestors and pray for a good harvest this autumn. After the wine is served, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Adults either drink and chat with friends at home, or go out to enjoy the scenery together.

Children have more choices. There are all kinds of interesting things on the street, such as lanterns and bamboo lanterns. They have a lot of fun laughing and playing on the street.

Among aristocratic families, the process is almost the same, except that the sacrificial ceremony is more grand. It starts in the afternoon, and it is already evening when the sacrificial ceremony is completed, and it is time to start busy with the evening poetry meeting.

There are many scattered poetry gatherings in Chang'an, but the most famous one is the Mid-Autumn Poetry Fair in Fenglailou. It is hosted by a family with five surnames and seven looks. The prime minister will be present at the time, and most of the dignitaries in the court will also come to add their poems. A bit lively.

A total of 78 people from all over the north were invited by Fang Xuanling. In addition, most of them were qualified for the imperial examination. They started preparing for next year's imperial examination directly at home and couldn't concentrate on joining in the fun.

The Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival is a good time to become famous. For the descendants of merchants who have no way out, the right to recommend for the imperial examination is what they have to work hard for. They can surprise everyone with a poem and choose a suitable one. If people depend on you, your future will be bright.

Zhao Zhe and others came to Fenglai Tower with this mood. There is no identity restriction on Fenglai Tower's admission today, so there is no obstacle.

There were more than a dozen fellow villagers in the group. Facing the prosperity of Chang'an, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Not far away, Zhao Zhe saw the prime minister he had seen before.

"The younger generation has met the prime minister."

Everyone also saluted together, Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded slightly.

"Fang Xiang, how are you these days?"

Soon, senior officials from the DPRK and the Central Government came to say hello, and Zhao Zhe and others entered the building immediately without disturbing them too much.

As a human being, you must know how to look at the situation.

Because I saw the so-called 'miracle' a few days ago, the poem that had been pending in my heart was finally finalized, and now I feel somewhat confident.

"Dou Shangshu, haha."

"Hou Shangshu, you are here too, why do you look so sad?"

The middle-aged man shook his head slightly: "The Korean envoys are coming to Beijing today and will meet with His Majesty tomorrow. They might cause some trouble. I'm here to relax."

"Oh, so that's it. You might as well explain it in detail."

There were endless calls of greetings and greetings in the building, and the building was almost divided into three waves of forces.

The dignitaries in the court are the most aristocratic, and they often interact with people whose status is not much different.

The children of aristocratic families and scholars in the capital gathered together to chat about something.

Foreign talents like Zhao Zhe plan to come here to make a name for themselves.

The women in the building are charming and charming, greeting every guest enthusiastically, adding a bit of excitement to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The poetry meeting was going on very quickly, and a group of people immediately took their seats in various balconies, which were specially prepared for dignitaries and children of aristocratic families. Although Zhao Zhe and others were not short of money, it was impossible for them to sit down.

The level of this poetry meeting is very high.
At the same time, the palace was extremely lively.

The huge palace is all lit up with bright yellow lights, and everyone is bright and brilliant. Each door is wide open. From the Suzaku Gate at the outermost part of the imperial city, you can directly see the Tai Chi Palace high above.

Tai Chi Palace is located at the highest location in Chang'an, overlooking the entire Chang'an city. After Lin Heng climbed the steps and looked back, he saw a scene of lights, which was simply shocking.

This is the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty that has left a strong mark on history!
Behind him, Li Chengqian walked out of the hall and chuckled: "Lin Heng, how do you feel after seeing this scene?"

Lin Heng smiled and asked, "How does His Highness feel?"

Li Chengqian smiled and said nothing, his eyes gradually narrowed.

World!

A prince without ambition cannot be called a good prince. Although Li Chengqian has a gentle personality on weekdays, he has a grandeur hidden in his heart that others cannot imagine.He wants to be more powerful than his father, conquering Tibet, pacifying Korea, and destroying the Turks!

Let the territory of the Tang Dynasty be doubled in size!
Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't speak, Lin Heng could actually imagine Li Chengqian's mood at this time.

He is a very ambitious prince, so ambitious that he will never allow anyone to touch his rights, and so ambitious that he may have the idea of ​​usurping the throne because of Li Tai's favor!
If possible, Lin Heng still wants to try his best to guide Li Chengqian in a good direction. After all, he has no ill feelings towards this uncle.

On the day he unveiled the imperial title, although Li Chengqian was sarcastic, he later treated him favorably and was very polite, and even wanted to recruit him into the East Palace.

But Lin Heng refused, taking into account the history of Li Chengqian seeking power and usurping the throne.

In fact, Li Chengqian didn't have to worry about Li Shimin appointing someone else as the prince. Li Shimin saw this son from the beginning to the end. Even in the end, Li Chengqian failed in his attempt to usurp the throne, but he was only stripped of his crown prince's position instead of executed.

If it were anyone else, he would have died eight hundred times. From this, we can see how much Li Shimin dotes on Li Chengqian.

Lin Heng looked around, but there was no one else around.

He slowly said: "Your Highness, these will be yours sooner or later."

After saying that, Lin Heng turned around and entered the palace without saying any more.

That's it. Just a reminder is enough. You don't have to involve yourself too much. Anyway, whether Li Chengqian rebels or not, it won't have much impact on Lin Heng.

Hearing these words, Li Chengqian trembled and looked at Lin Heng suddenly.

He actually knew what he was thinking!
Seeing Lin Heng turn around and leave, Li Chengqian calmed down the turmoil in his heart.

Also, Lin Heng was already extremely intelligent and definitely not an ordinary person. It was just that he was too weak-minded and did not want to be an official. Otherwise, he would inevitably have more high-ranking officials under his command.

I heard that Lin Heng even refused to receive a reward for disaster relief in order not to be an official. This made his father very angry at that time.

Such a person will not affect your own strategy. If you come to Dabao one day, maybe this person can be used by you.

Li Chengqian stopped thinking about it and put on his usual gentle smile.

Sooner or later it will be mine.
In the palace, the dishes on the table were extremely rich, including delicacies from the palace and Lin Heng's stir-fries.

This was specially suggested by Changsun Wugou. After all, the dishes in the palace had remained unchanged for many years. Not only himself, but also these people were tired of eating them.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wugu, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Lizhi, Cheng Huaiyi and Princess Qinghe were all present, and Lin Heng greeted them one by one.

He said a little strangely: "I heard that the Supreme Emperor."

Halfway through, Lin Heng realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

After all, Li Yuan and Li Shimin don't seem to have a good relationship.

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this and said: "My father said that he would let me wait to eat together today, but he does not want to get involved in this matter."

Hearing this, Lin Heng breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty had said so. It seemed that he would not be reprimanded for such a thing.

There was a little guy not far away, looking at Lin Heng: "Hey! Lin Heng, have you seen this scene? I'm afraid this is your first time. It opens your horizons."

Before she finished speaking, Li Lizhi stretched her mouth and could only make a whimpering sound.

"Why are you talking so much? You haven't finished eating yet!"

Li Tai was quite dissatisfied with being scolded by Li Lizhi, but he didn't say anything more.

Seeing that everyone who should be there had arrived, Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Today is a family dinner, you don't have to be formal, just enjoy it!"
