Chapter 374 The old man feels that His Highness is right
Li Shimin didn't have to think too much, everyone knew that Zhao Chen was trying to escape.
This kid just wanted to lie at home and do nothing.
This spring hunt is a good opportunity to show up in front of a group of ministers and nobles.
If they can see more of Zhao Chen's ability, if Zhao Chen's identity is revealed in the future, there will be more supporters, right?
But this kid looks like he can't stand up to the wall with mud.
It really makes people angry.
"Your Majesty is very reasonable. You are a dignified county magistrate and a leader of the younger generation. You can't do it if you don't go." Empress Changsun also advised.
He just talks more than Lao Li listens to him.
"Auntie Zhao Chen is so proud. I'm just lucky. Compared with others, there are still many differences." Zhao Chen shook his head with a smile.
Old Li still found it strange.
Why is Zhao Chen so modest today?
Before he could think about it, Zhao Chen continued, "I can't pull the bow and shoot archery, and I have never practiced fist and foot. You said, isn't it embarrassing to go?"
"It doesn't matter if you are embarrassed by me at that time. I'll let you, aunt, embarrass you, your Majesty, be embarrassed. This is not good."
"So, I won't participate in this spring hunt..."
"You think you are beautiful. If you embarrass me, where will I throw you into Niu Jinda? Aren't you getting along well with him?"
"It's just right, go learn from him and lead troops, and let him practice for you by the way." Old Li immediately interrupted Zhao Chen and gave Zhao Chen a death order.
Good guy, just be lazy and forget it, but you still say you are afraid of embarrassing them?
The evil words confuse the public!
Zhao Chen was quite angry when he argued with Lao Li like this.
But there is no way, the form is better than that of people, so I have to stay obediently at this time.
And Empress Changsun was watching from the side. If she was too much to criticize Lao Li, wouldn’t she be unhappy?
Zhao Chen felt that he should bear it.
There are opportunities to dig holes for Lao Li in the future.
"Zhao Chen, this spring hunt is of great significance. It can be said to be a competence competition among the younger generations."
"From the prince, to the children of officials above the fifth rank, they will participate. This is a good opportunity to show their faces. If you can achieve good results, your future journey will be much easier."
"Although you are a county minister now, you are just a title and don't have a single official position. You can't stay in the academy all your life."
"The court is your stage. Aunt hopes that you can enter the court and help Your Majesty more." Empress Changsun saw that Zhao Chen was still a little unwilling, so she couldn't help but persuade her.
Of course, she just said that she hoped Zhao Chen would help the emperor, and did not intend to say that this was for Zhao Chen's own good.
Zhao Chen's identity cannot be revealed yet.
Otherwise, the entire court will fluctuate.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything. If Li Shimin said this, Zhao Chen could refuse without hesitation, but Empress Changsun who said this.
Zhao Chen was a little embarrassed.
"Of course, if you don't achieve good results in spring hunting, it doesn't matter. My aunt won't blame you, but you must participate, is it okay?" Empress Changsun had already used a tone of discussion.
Old Li frowned when he heard this.
In his opinion, if Zhao Chen doesn't want to, then tie him up.
It depends on whether he dares not agree.
"Okay." Zhao Chenwei was really unwilling to make Empress Changsun unhappy.
After coming to the Tang Dynasty for so long, Empress Changsun was the only one who treated him like a mother.
Anyway, I just want to participate, I just want to ride a horse and just take a walk around.
Just treat it as relaxing.
"Hmph, you kid knows it. By the way, I asked you, you heard that there are better perfumes. Why, are you planning to give it to your wife? Even your aunt didn't tell me?" Old Li snorted.
, and grabbed Zhao Chen's handle again.
...
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is a rare guest. Why do you have time to come to the humble house today?"
In the Cui Mansion Hall, when Cui Yan saw Li Chengqian, a smile suddenly surged on his face and shouted to Li Chengqian.
"Head of Cui family." Li Chengqian turned around and bowed to Cui Yan.
"Your Highness, please sit down, come and have some tea." Cui Yan invited Li Chengqian to sit down and sit by himself.
No one spoke actively, and waited until the maid brought the tea.
Cui Yancai raised the teacup and smiled and said, "This tea is my treasure. I usually don't want to take it out. Your Highness must taste it."
Li Chengqian is not here to drink tea.
He didn't have the intention either.
However, Cui Yan's attitude made him understand that this old guy was not easy to deal with.
Just wait for him, Li Chengqian, to explain his purpose.
"The tea is really good, it's better than the tea in the East Palace. The head of the Cui family is living a very good life." Li Chengqian took a sip and said to Cui Yan with a smile.
Cui Yan's heart sank slightly. He didn't understand what Li Chengqian said, so he said, "I am old and only have these hobbies left. I just don't know how many more years can I drink this tea."
Haha, are you trying this palace? A glimmer flashed in Li Cheng's eyes.
"The head of Cui is still young, why do you say such despicable words? If the head of Cui doesn't dislike it, you can come to my East Palace to have tea from time to time."
"Although the tea in the East Palace is not as good as the head of the Cui family, they are all tribute, and it is not much different." Li Chengqian laughed.
Cui Yan's expression changed slightly, and he could hear what Li Chengqian said.
He said he was asked to go to the East Palace for tea, but in fact he wanted to recruit himself.
Is this why Li Chengqian came here today?
The emperor attacked their aristocratic family, but the prince wanted to recruit them?
this……
"The tea from the East Palace is good for tribute, but you still have to pay the same amount of money. I am afraid that this tea will not be enough." Cui Yan said lightly, his eyes locked on Li Chengqian's face.
He was hinting that Li Shimin is still there, and Li Chengqian dared to challenge the emperor and cooperate with their aristocratic family?
"Don't worry about this Cui family leader. I am the prince. I want to find a few people to drink tea, but my father doesn't care. Of course, after drinking the tea, this cup must be washed clean and no residue left." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Cui Yan immediately understood that Li Chengqian came to find him today, probably to deal with someone.
Otherwise, how could they say that their cooperation cannot leave any handle?
Isn't this just because I'm afraid of being found in Li Chengqian himself?
But who did Li Chengqian want to deal with? And he also knew that the emperor would definitely investigate this matter, so he said it so obscurely!
"The life of the head of the Cui family has been difficult recently. Don't you think about it. Go back to the past?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Cui Yan understood.
Li Chengqian wants to deal with Zhao Chen.
Didn’t it be because of Zhao Chen’s appearance that his Cui family and other aristocratic families became like this?
Li Chengqian wants to oppose the emperor and deal with Zhao Chen?
Is this because I have taken the courage of a leopard, or is it because I am crazy about gaining and losing my heart?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
"There will be another month, the day of spring hunting. On that day, the royal family, nobles, etc., there are countless people participating. I think it is a good opportunity. Master Cui, what do you think?" Li Chengqian smiled and said, "
Say to Cui Yan.
