Chapter 59 The Prince Supervises the Country

In November of the 11th year of Zhenguan, the emperor came to Huaizhou, Henan Province.

In the middle of the court, Prince Li Chengqian supervised the country, and the prime ministers assisted him.

Although Li Chengqian's temperament is a little stubborn, his ability is not bad. After all, Li Shimin has let him listen to politics since he was a child, and when he was a little older, he also made him make decisions on some things. The emperor and his ministers rated him as "very knowledgeable".

For a prince, it is enough to know the general outline.

No matter how wise and powerful you are, do you want His Majesty to become the Supreme Emperor?

Eighteen-year-old Li Chengqian, in addition to being a husband, is also a father.

The eldest son of the concubine, Li Xiang, is already seven years old, and I have to admire their early maturity.

Think about what we were doing when we were eleven years old, sticking our buttocks out and spanking beads, and drawing a 38-point line with girls!

This is really not bad, it was recorded in "Cefu Yuangui".

The eldest son is still in the arms of Crown Princess Su. After all, Li Chengqian only married the daughter of his secretary, Su Dan, as his concubine in the ninth year of Zhenguan.

The prince has grown up and has certain demands. As long as it does not affect the overall situation, the ministers usually turn a blind eye. However, the subordinate officials in the East Palace will speak fiercely.

It is good to deregister a miscellaneous household. Although the handling method is a bit childish, it will be fine if you can explain it.

There are many things in the world that only need to be explained to someone. Do you think you can delve into anything?

The paste on the buttocks of noble people can also be seen by you, a pariah?

Only by expelling the former Taichang Temple Taiyue Director Cheng Xin from his membership and giving Prince Zuo Chunfang the post of Ninth Grade Chief, the ministers and ministers complained.

Even if you regard him as a good man, is it too abrupt to immediately give him an official position?

Li Chengqian said that one of the responsibilities of Si Yilang, the prince of Zuo Chunfang, was to record the changes of the melodies and tunes by the actors and actresses.

What, why not place the prince in charge of rituals and music in Shugeng Temple?

Prince Shugeng Temple, although it is not very famous, and Shugenggeng is also a good man Ouyang Xun, but this place governs the order of the clan, rituals and music, punishments, and rules. It cannot be changed at will, and it cannot be left alone to suit one's liking.

The atmosphere has become depressing.

Some of the responsibilities can be compared to the Ministry of Punishment of the imperial court and the Dali Temple!

The young master of the East Palace, Zhang Xuansu, the right concubine of the crown prince, Zhang Xuansu, tried his best to dissuade him: "The emperor has no relatives, only virtue is his assistant, and he goes against the law of heaven. Both humans and gods have abandoned him..."

A straightforward sentence is: Prince, you are doing whatever you want!

(Historical facts are words that persuade tourists to abandon their studies.)

There is a folk saying: Masters often have crooked walls.

It is perfect to use it on Li Chengqian. Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun, Wei Zheng, Li Baiyao, Fang Xuanling, Liu Jie, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou are either the prince's division or the officials of the East Palace.

Each one is full of knowledge and ideas, and each imperative sentence is more fierce than the last.

However, each has their own standpoint, and the things they teach are very different. Which one do you want Li Chengqian to learn?

It goes with my brother's wishes but my sister-in-law doesn't.

As a result, emotions of disgust, alienation and even hatred inevitably appeared in Li Chengqian.

People who have just grown up hate having others preach in their ears, especially the Luo family-style preaching, even if the preaching itself is for their own good.

So, taking advantage of the early darkness of night, Li Chengqian ordered his servants (internal envoys) to whip Zhang Xuansu with a riding whip, almost beating Zhang Xuansu to death.

(Contained in "Old Tang Book".)

Do you have a sense of deja vu as a bad student from the future generation beats the teacher after graduation?

The husband has also become a dangerous profession!

The subordinate officials in the East Palace naturally made a fuss again, vowing to seek justice for Zhang Xuansu.

What kind of justice do you want?

Li Chengqian's attitude was extremely fierce. The prince could act inappropriately but would never bow his head.

Even if the conflict intensified to this point, Li Shimin did not transfer Zhang Xuansu from the East Palace. The meaning of this makes people think deeply.

Li Chengqian's temper was really violent, and he even ordered his retainer He Gan Chengji to assassinate Zhang Xuansu.

As mentioned before, the assassin profession of Feng Shijin and He Gan Chengji was a part-time job with two swords. As a result, He Gan Chengji, who was following Zhang Xuansu, was beaten up by Wu Hou who was patrolling the streets, and all his shoes ran away.

Already.

However, the people in the East Palace began to feel strange that the new favorite who accompanied the prince, Cheng Xin, seemed to be slightly different after a while.

…

Yankangfang, Prince Wei's Mansion.

The main seats in the main hall are the King of Wei, whose arm chair is shaking slightly under the pressure, the governor of Yongzhou, the general Zuowei, the governor of Xiangzhou, and the governor of Yanzhou Li Tai.

The guest holding a tea bowl was Duke Xun Guo, Shi Zhangliang, the governor of Xiangzhou. His face was ordinary. Without his official uniform, he looked like an old farmer. His eyes shone with the cunning familiar to the common people at the bottom.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Liang was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and he was born as a real farmer. Because Li Tai, the governor, only led the governor's office of Xiangzhou from afar, he took up the position of chief historian.

Theoretically, Zhang Liang is really Li Tai's subordinate.

This man is also a very extraordinary person. He is never good at fighting and has never made many achievements.

Not bad, most of Zhang Liang's achievements were obtained by contacting forces from various places to surrender. It can be seen that Zhang Liang is very familiar with the world.

Contact Jianghu, there are many relationships like adopted son, adopted brother, adopted brother, etc., but how many of them can be taken seriously?

There are quite a few people who followed Zhang Liang as thieves and their children depended on Zhang Liang for food. It is not an exaggeration to call them foster fathers.

With so many adopted sons, Zhang Liang was able to "send secretly to observe good and evil".

Even Li Shimin knew that Zhang Liang had many adopted sons, but as for this, when you are used, it is a credit, and when you are not used, it is a sin.

Right and wrong only exist in the mind of the superior.

"Xiaoguan brought some jujubes from Neihuang County. Quan will serve as snacks for the governor and give the prince a taste of Xiangzhou's local specialties."

(Note: The real time was the 17th year of Zhenguan, when Neihuang County was changed from Lizhou to Xiangzhou.)

There is nothing wrong with souvenirs, they are grown in the soil.

The jujubes from Huang County in Xiangzhou have thick flesh, good elasticity, sweet and sour taste, and were also used as tribute during the Zhenguan period.

Li Tai pointed at the small bag in Zhang Liang's hand, motioned to Wu Neng to accept it, and ordered Shangyang to enjoy the purple bamboo shoot tea soup.

Yangxian Purple Bamboo Shoot is the top tea at this time.

Li Tai chuckled: "When Chang Shi gave a gift, he only gave such a small bag. How stingy."

Among other things, the jade carvings in Anyang, Xiangzhou, are also famous.

Zhang Liang laughed bitterly and pulled open a corner of his official robe, revealing the white undershirt.

Li Tai was shocked: "Even Duke Zheng and his servant Wei Zheng are not so poor, right?"

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "Is the adopted son so easy to raise?"

There is no way, this is the biggest dilemma for a hero who cannot govern the country with words and the army with force.

Zhang Liang's success depends on the world.

There are important people for gathering information and for colluding with various forces. The authority given by the court is limited to the number that can be maintained.

In both public and private matters, Zhang Liang had to give his adopted sons a way out.

By the way, Zhang Liang is also one of the few people who abandons his wife and marries another. He has a green hair on his head, but his son Zhang Shenwei refuses to listen to his advice.

Zhang Liang also liked to listen to the words of the sorcerer, and the sorcerer Cheng Gongying was quite trustworthy.

Therefore, this is a person who is so complex that it is difficult to describe him in just one sentence.
