Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 21 Li Jingxuan

"Yes!" Li Chengqian admitted without hesitation, "But I believe in him. Although I have only known him for a short time, I believe that the other party is not a treacherous person. His arrow skills are so good that he can penetrate five armors."

"The strategy of war is also extraordinary, and he is a rare general! There are only a handful of people in Tang Dynasty who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him!"

"Father, please give me permission!" After Li Chengqian said that, he knelt down on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground, and his attitude was very firm, as if Li Er would not be able to kneel if he didn't agree.

It was the first time that Li Er saw his crown prince admiring a person so much. Li Er was a person who loved talents. If this person was really as powerful as Li Chengqian said, it was not impossible for him to stay in the East Palace.

Even if it was compensation to Chengqian for the assassination of the prince, after all, if Chengqian insisted on it, Wei Ting could not have resisted it alone.

It might even implicate him, Qing Que'er. The prince made a concession at the beginning, so it's not good for him to do more to stop it.

The left and right are just a rate, so give it if you give it, it's no big deal.

That's why Li Chengqian valued this point, so he dared to mention Xue Rengui to the position of the left and right inner leaders in the mansion so unscrupulously.

Li Chengqian also understood that even if Li Er finally agreed, he would not allow a grassroots person to be the chief officer of the two guards of the Eastern Palace.

As long as he can win the position of chief officer of the first guard, that's enough. He can make other arrangements for the rest, so he's not afraid that the two guards won't be devoted to him in the future.

"Since Chengqian, you insist on making Xue Rengui the leader of the East Palace, I will follow you, but Xue Rengui can only be the leader of one guard, and you can decide which guard is your own." Li Erdao.

"Thank you, father! Let Xue Rengui be my prince's right-hand man!" Li Chengqian raised his head and said.

"Let's decide like this! Cheng Qian, aren't you afraid that you will lead the family to be dissatisfied?" Li Er said.

"Admitted or not! This has nothing to do with me. Xue Rengui is a right-hand man. If he can't even deal with his subordinates, what do we need him for? My East Palace does not support idlers." Li Chengqian said.

"The appointment of Xue Rengui will send someone to the East Palace to issue an edict." Li Erdao.

"Thank you, father! If there is nothing wrong! My son will leave." Li Chengqian said.

"What? You don't want to stay with your brother so much?" Li Er joked, there was nothing important today, and Li Er hadn't had a good chat with Li Chengqian for a long time.

"I'm not afraid of disturbing my father's handling of government affairs! What's more, I still have some things to ask my master for advice." Li Chengqian said.

The relationship between Li Chengqian and Li Er was a little distant, and he was afraid that if he stayed to talk about family matters, he would easily enter into an awkward situation. What's more, he was in a hurry to talk to Xue Rengui about the appointment of Xue Rengui, and explain it by the way.

"Recently, the palace has to recruit some girls from good families to enrich the harem. You are a prince, but there is only one concubine in the harem. It's a bit shabby. You can choose a few girls from good families to stay by your side as you wish." Li Erdao .

Li Er felt that it was unreasonable for Li Chengqian, as a prince, to have only one concubine in the harem. Before he became emperor, he already had three wives and four concubines.

Considering his son's happy life in the future, he should also choose a few young and beautiful women to fill the harem, so as to spread a lot of branches and leaves for the royal family.

It just so happens that there are a few good ones in the list this time, especially the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling. I heard that she is beautiful and intelligent, and she just happens to be a good concubine for Chengqian.

When Li Er was choosing a concubine for Li Chengqian in his heart, Li Chengqian was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he would have an arranged marriage.

Li Chengqian knew in his heart that in the ancient marriage system, it was always the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker!Personal opinions are never taken seriously or even ignored.

As the crown prince, he couldn't help himself to make decisions about the marriage. This was a major national event, and I don't know how many people were looking forward to it.

This is not a simple marriage, but more of a political transaction. The gentry obtained more political capital through intermarriage with the royal family.

"Father! My son has no plans to become a concubine. What's more, the princess Su is already very good, and we need to cultivate more relationships." Li Chengqian said, he still resisted such a marriage in his heart.

"I won't talk about this for now! When the time comes, I will choose it for you. You can see for yourself. I believe you will like it." Li Er patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder and said.

Li Er believes that as long as the beautiful woman is sent to Li Chengqian, there is no reason not to be tempted. After all, he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has come from here.

Looking at Li Er's posture, Li Chengqian knew that his resistance was meaningless.

"Then, I will not bother my father anymore!" Li Chengqian saluted Li Er.

Li Er nodded and said: "Alright! You go back and get ready first, and tell the princess too. Anyway, she is also your regular wife, so there is no need to hide the matter of taking concubines from her."

"By the way! I haven't seen Li Xiang and Li Jue for some time. If you have time, bring them here and let my grandfather take a good look at them."

"As the child's father, you should care more about these two children, and don't make such a difference."

Li Chengqian nodded. He had indeed not seen these two children for a long time, and he was too incompetent as a father in front of him.

Li Chengqian left the main hall and returned directly to the East Palace, but met a group of young officials on the way.

Li Chengqian said to Wang Quan: "Go and ask what these officials do? Why did they enter the palace?"

Wang Quan took the order, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the officials from the official department leading the way. The two whispered something, and Wang Quan pointed to Li Chengqian from time to time.

The officials of the official department looked at Li Chengqian, and then came to Li Chengqian with Wang Quan.

"Wailang Du Chun, a member of the Ministry of Officials, has seen His Highness the Crown Prince!" Du Chun bowed to Li Chengqian.

"What kind of officials are these? Are they going to be taken to the Ministry of Officials?" Li Chengqian said.

"Return to His Royal Highness! Some of these people are officials recommended by the local governors to the imperial court, officials recommended by the ministers of the court and the central government, and military officers who have been fighting abroad and transferred back to Beijing for promotion assessment."

"Among them is someone recommended by Ma Changshi to His Majesty, and I am about to bring this person before Your Majesty." Du Chun said.

"Ma Changshi? Is it Ma Zhou who governs the book, serves as the censor, advises the doctor, and inspects the school?" Li Chengqian said.

"Exactly!" Du Chun said.

Ma Zhou, a native of Chiping, Qinghe, was the prime minister during the Tang Taizong period. In the 15th year of Zhenguan, he was promoted to govern the book and serve as the censor.

Li Chengqian remembered that Ma Zhou once recommended the prime minister of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jingxuan, who had just become the prince's attendant at that time, entered the Chongxian Hall.

Could the person recommended by Ma Zhou be Li Jingxuan?

"Is there a roster? Bring it for a few people to see!" Li Chengqian thought of this, and thought to see if the person recommended by Ma Zhou was Li Jingxuan.

The Ministry of Officials has a roster of officials, on which information such as the origin, name, and position of the officials is registered.
