Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 56 Today is a good day

"Third brother, for the sake of the second brother's support, how about you agree to the second brother's request?" After laughing, Li Shimin suddenly said such a sentence.

"Second brother, if you want me to go to the court to help you handle government affairs, you should not be so respectful. I still have a lot of things to do, so I will give you advice, and you can arrange the rest. Now I The main task is to build the college. After the college is on the right track, I plan to go to my fief to train soldiers. Don't make trouble for me."

Li Cha seemed to have guessed what Li Shimin's request was, so he said it to death.

"No, the second brother also understands that your role outside the court is much greater than that above the court. The second brother wants you to bring Cheng Qian by his side and teach him. Cheng Qian was in the palace since he was a child. He grew up in the village, and the people he came into contact with were either great Confucianists or military generals, all of whom were rich and powerful. He had never experienced the sufferings of the poor. This is also the difference between Chengqian and me. Wang Zhishu definitely won't work." Li Shimin directly stated his request.

"That's no problem. You don't need Chengqian to learn how to handle government affairs? If you stay by my side, you don't care about Chengqian East Palace?" Li Cha nodded and agreed.

"Chengqian doesn't need to learn about government affairs for a long time. Chengqian has been with me for so many years, and the emperor's mind has already matured in handling government affairs. As for the affairs of the East Palace, you can deal with them directly. It's just a change It's just an office place. When your Huawang Mansion can live, I want Chengqian to move in directly." Li Shimin replied.

"You and Chengqian have no problem, so I have no problem. Chengqian is so old, you don't want to make decisions for him. You should ask Chengqian's opinion on such matters. Chengqian, what do you think? ?” Li Cha asked Li Chengqian.

"Everything is up to the father and third uncle. Chengqian dare not disobey." Li Chengqian replied politely.

"Chengqian, the third uncle told you that you have grown up and matured, and you are a prince again. If you have an idea, you should speak out. Filial piety is right, but if you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the future emperor, if you even say If you don't have the courage to speak your mind, if you do things completely according to your father's ideas, then you can only live under your father's dragon power, and you will never be able to surpass your father. I believe in your father's ideas and I am the same, we all hope that our younger generations will be better than ourselves, and that each generation will be better than each other."

After hearing Li Chengqian's answer, Li Cha frowned involuntarily, a little disappointed with this answer, and said earnestly.

"Chengqian, your third uncle is right. Father is indeed inferior to your third uncle in terms of educating children. Father should respect your opinion. But this time, you should listen to what father has to say before you make a decision. No matter what your decision is, Father will support you." Li Shimin took the words and said.

"Well, father, please tell me. My son, listen." Li Chengqian agreed.

Li Cha curled his lips when he heard Li Shimin's words, his second brother was too controlling.I will listen to what you have to say before making a decision, and support any decision.You've said all this, and when you finish speaking, does Li Chengqian have any choice?
"Chengqian, Father asked you to study with third uncle. Apart from the fact that you have never left the palace to live and all the people you came into contact with are rich and noble people, there is another very important reason. That is, since you After the third uncle came back, our Tang Dynasty was changing almost every day, and a new industry would emerge from time to time, and the father was busy with government affairs every day, and there were too many things to deal with, so he didn't have the time to fully understand these things. So Father needs you to understand these in depth. In order to better govern this country in the future, do you understand?" Li Shimin said.

"My son understands. My son is also willing to stay with my third uncle and learn from my third uncle. My son will definitely not disappoint my father." Li Chengqian replied.

"Okay, okay, okay, my father believes that the prince of the Tang Dynasty will definitely become a wise king in the future." Li Shimin said with a big smile after receiving Li Chengqian's answer.

Then Li Shimin looked up at the sky and said to Li Cha: "Third brother, it's getting late, let's stop here today, we'll go back to the palace first." After speaking, he greeted the eldest grandson empress.

Since Li Shimin was leaving, Li Cha didn't keep them any longer. He and Duan Hongxiu and his wife sent Li Shimin's family outside the gate. farewell.But Li Chengqian, who was not paying attention, seemed hesitant to speak, and finally held back what he wanted to say in his heart, and didn't say it.

Today, the tenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, August [-]th.

Another good day.It was sunny and cloudless.

Just like the day of Li Cha's wedding, if it is a good day, it must be a good day, if not not, who would let today be the auspicious day chosen by the emperor.It's just that Li Cha can't figure out why the good days are on the eighteenth day, not the eighth day.

On the edge of the experimental field, Li Cha was dressed in princely attire, wearing a crown facing the sky, standing at the front with a slumped face, yawning from time to time.

Meng Huo stepped back and stood behind Li Cha, wearing an iron helmet and a chain armor, majestic and majestic.

Two hundred soldiers of the Xuanjia Army with bright helmets lined up neatly behind them.There is a long knife on the waist, dignified and solemn.

They already had objects used by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to sacrifice to heaven.Sacrificial offerings such as cows, sheep, pig heads, fruits, and snacks are neatly placed on the incense table.

There is also a huge bronze censer in the middle.Pick up three thick sandalwood sticks from the incense case.

Li Shimin, who had already agreed with Li Cha not to sacrifice to heaven, seemed to regret it when he went back.In fact, it is not considered repentance, in his own words, I am not offering sacrifices to heaven, I just want to tell the good news to the ancestors.

Ten large pots have been set up behind them, rice bags and beef cubes are also ready.There are ten altars of banquet wine next to it. Don't think about it, our emperor is going to let everyone try the new food on the spot.

In August, Qiuhu, eat and drink under the sun after harvesting the grain.Thinking about it, Li Cha feels sad for those who are officials in this era.

The problem is that these people must not be full at noon. Pumpkin porridge is okay, and the seeds can be left behind. Don’t even think about eating more potatoes and sweet potatoes. , and won't open it up for them to eat, it would be nice if each person can get a piece.

At the same time, Li Cha was also feeling sad for himself, they had been waiting here for more than half an hour.If your emperor doesn't come, why did you wake me up so early?Wouldn't it be nice for him to wake up naturally after falling asleep?

Li Cha didn't plan to come today, and he didn't want to see Li Shimin's stinky fart, let alone all the officials' flattery.But he really couldn't stand the pleadings of the eight-foot man Meng Huhu and the small eyes of his daughter-in-law Duan Hongxiu.

At dawn, Meng Huo knocked on the door of Li Cha's house, but no matter what he said, Li Cha refused to go.Hey, I, Meng Huhu, am not stupid. Please, if Li Cha is not good enough, I will change my target. What's more, your daughter-in-law is also the niece I Meng Huo saw growing up. I still have to give Meng Huo some face.

Meng Huhu also really had no choice, who asked his master, the emperor, to give him a death order, and he must see Li Cha when the new grain was harvested today.Otherwise, he, Meng Huhu, would be a well-known hero all over the world, and he still wanted face.

In the end, Li Cha still couldn't match his wife's small eyes, obediently asked Duan Hongxiu to wait for him to put on his clothes, and followed Meng Huhu out the door, but the wait lasted more than half an hour.

What made it even more difficult for Li Cha to accept was that he didn't know how long he would have to wait.It takes an hour to travel from the imperial palace to Shiqiao Village. We don't know if His Majesty the Emperor is going here now.When will this happen.

Just when Li Cha waited impatiently and wanted to go back, the emperor Li Shimin's chariot appeared in front of Li Cha's eyes. Hey, Li Cha is happy now.It's okay to be unlucky, as long as someone is more unlucky than yourself.

Li Shimin can reach Shiqiao Village at this point, which is definitely earlier than himself.As for other civil and military officials, it would be even more unlucky, because they had to rush to the palace first.

Li Shimin's chariot walked at the front, followed by hundreds of civil and military officials, a row of civil officials, and a row of military generals. There were seven or eighty people if there were not a hundred.They didn't have the treatment of Emperor Li Shimin, and all their chariots were left outside Shiqiao Village, so they could only come here on foot.

When they reached the ground, Li Shimin got off the chariot, just nodded to Li Cha as a greeting, and then quietly stood in front of Li Cha.

"The auspicious time has come, please Your Majesty to offer incense." Following the shout of Wang Gui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Shimin, wearing a dragon robe and a crown of heaven, walked slowly to the incense table with square steps, and picked up three incense sticks from the table. The thick sandalwood is lit on the candle, and the incense is inserted into the furnace after kneeling three times.

In fact, Li Cha was wondering how the auspicious time of the Tang Dynasty was calculated. In the era without watches, how did the auspicious time be so accurate? The most important thing is that the emperor came here with the auspicious time. .I don't understand, I don't understand.

After Li Shimin got up, Wang Gui yelled again at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty has a show to show the sky, and all the ministers bow down."

After everyone knelt down, the next step was Li Shimin's performance.Farming new crops, this tribute is naturally for Emperor Yan Shennong among the three emperors. First of all, it is naturally to sing praises, praise the achievements of Shennong's life, thank the current grains all come from Shennong's legacy, and then pray to Shennong and his old man Continue to bless the Tang Dynasty with good weather and good harvest.Finally, report to the old man Shennong that Datang Huawang followed in his footsteps, continued his glory, and found new food for Datang.Finally, burn it and show it to Shennong.

After burning the memorial table for Shennong, it will be for the ancestors of the Li family.Also, it starts with singing praises, starting with Li Er, the ancestor of the Li family, and ending with the founding emperor Li Yuan.After all, it is the royal family. How could the ancestors of the Li family not have made great achievements?Then it is to pray that the ancestors and ancestors will bless the Tang Dynasty with good weather, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and it will be passed down forever.The next step is to report to the ancestors that the Li family has produced an outstanding descendant, report Li Cha's achievements to the ancestors, and finally burn it for the ancestors to see.

After the two memorabilia were burned, Li Shimin bowed three times again and got up.

After seeing the emperor get up, Wang Gui shouted again at the top of his voice: "The performance of the sky is over, all the ministers get up."
