The second daughter-in-law's purpose in doing this was so obvious that it made Li Jiancheng feel very uncomfortable.
"Zhiyun, why don't you look for your sister-in-law?" Li Jiancheng is getting better and better at cultivating qi. He won't break his defense because of this matter, although he does feel very uncomfortable.
Li Zhiyun said helplessly: "Brother, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for my sister-in-law to be pregnant. Moreover, my sister-in-law is already preparing for the wedding of my fourth brother. I really can't bear to make my sister-in-law tired."
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng felt a blockage in his heart and was a little speechless.
Wei Ting smiled and said: "When Your Highness gets married, don't forget to give me a wedding invitation so that I can be happy."
"Brother Wei, don't worry, you will have a glass of wedding wine when the time comes." Li Zhiyun laughed.
After Wei Ting's interruption, Li Jiancheng quickly regained his composure and said, "I heard from my father some time ago that he is going to let Mr. Wang Tong serve as the chief historian of the Chu Palace?"
"Yes, Master Wang has arrived from Taiyuan and will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow. I plan to greet Master Wang then."
In the Tang Dynasty, the palace chief historian was a member of the fourth rank, responsible for teaching the king, correcting mistakes, and supervising the staff. When the Chu palace was first built, both Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing briefly served as the palace chief historian, but Xue Ju's incident made Lao Li
They were very upset, so Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing consciously resigned from their posts as chief historians and replaced them with the royal palace to join the army or become a legal officer.
Wang Tong is a contemporary scholar and was Li Zhiyun's mentor, so it is most appropriate for him to serve as the chief historian of the Prince of Chu's Palace.
Li Jiancheng was happy because he also had a man named Wang beside him.
Wang Gui and Wang Tong are both members of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Although they are not biological brothers, they are clan brothers.
"Gui hasn't seen Tongdi for a long time. I wonder how his health is." Wang Gui said with a smile. In fact, he had already received the news, but he didn't say it out loud.
Li Zhiyun sighed: "Some time ago, my master wrote to me and told me that his health was deteriorating. I really couldn't bear the hard work of traveling and traveling all the way from Taiyuan to Chang'an."
Li Jiancheng comforted him and said, "It's okay. When Wang Changshi comes to Chang'an, I will pay him a visit in the morning and evening to reassure him."
"My dear brother, please remember the emperor's teachings." Li Zhiyun handed over his hand.
After lunch, Li Zhiyun said goodbye.
"As you can see, the King of Qin is not willing to be lonely." Li Jian was standing on the porch, looking at the flowers in the garden, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
Wei Ting and Wang Gui looked at each other, and the former said: "Prince, please don't take it lightly. Your Highness, King of Chu, is very talented and prudent. He has captured Qu Tutong alive in the past, and he has won the honor of quelling the rebellion in Shannan Road. He will definitely be reused by the saints in the future."
"
"I know." Li Jiancheng said: "I am the only four brothers who live under the father's knees."
In fact, both Wei Ting and Wang Gui knew very well that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty used the clan members very highly, which was completely different from Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang guarded the clan like thieves, while Lao Li used the clan more highly.
Regardless of the elders of the clan, such as Li Shuliang, Li Xiaoji, and Li Shentong, the young Li Xiaogong, Li Yuan, Li Chen, etc. all received opportunities given by Lao Li to perform meritorious services, either as governors, or as commanders of an army.
As for Li Zhiyun, as an adult prince, how could he be so bad?
It can be seen from the title seal that Li Yuan still attaches great importance to this bastard.
King of Chu!
Among the kings and titles, Qin, Jin, Qi and Chu were the most noble, and the king of Chu was very important.
In addition, the King of Chu has a direct lineage of 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command. How can we underestimate him?
Although they didn't say it explicitly, anyone with a discerning eye could see Donggong's move to win over King Qi and King Chu.
Especially, it is the King of Qin.
Wang Gui said: "No matter what, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu must be more patient. Judging from his subordinates, His Royal Highness the King of Chu may have a good impression of the King of Qin."
"That's not a good impression." Li Jiancheng recalled: "Zhiyun grew up with Xiuning since he was a child. In terms of relationship, Xiuning and Zhiyun are the closest. As for Shimin, it's just so so."
Wei Ting said: "Your Highness, please don't take it lightly."
"Don't worry, I understand."
The next day, Li Zhiyun personally went to Baqiao outside Chang'an City to meet Wang Tong.
Wang Tong was an out-and-out Confucian master in the Sui and Tang dynasties. He once met Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and assisted Yang Xiu, the king of Shu. Later, he discovered that Yang Xiu liked to play with feudal superstition, so he decisively resigned and returned home.
"Disciple Zhiyun, meet the master."
"Your Highness, no courtesy." Wang Tong, who had a sallow complexion, looked sick and dying. This is the best evaluation of him.
In fact, Wang Tong was not very old, only thirty-four years old, but his health was not good, and he was infected with cold at the beginning of the year and almost died. Originally, he did not want to come to Chang'an, a place of right and wrong, but Li Yuan sent people to invite his clan brother three times.
Wang Gui also sent someone to invite him. In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to Li Yuan's request and go to Chang'an to serve as the chief historian of the Chu Palace.
The two got into the carriage, and Li Zhen drove to Chang'an.
"The meeting just now reminded me of the first time I met Yang Xiu. He was as handsome as you."
Damn, teacher, do you want to be so exciting and play mind reading?
"Zhiyun asked himself if he didn't embarrass the teacher outside, why would the teacher use Yang Xiu to bury Zhiyun." Li Zhiyun responded with a wry smile.
Yang Xiu was obsessed with feudal superstition and stabbed villains, but Yang Jian beat him to the shit.
Wang Tong shook his head with a sallow face and said: "You have always been smart, good at work, writing and playing chess. Why do you like to pretend to be confused now? Could it be that after becoming the King of Chu, you also learned the way of being an official?"
"Zhiyun doesn't dare."
"Do you not dare, or do you not dare now?"
Faced with Wang Tong's aggressiveness, Li Zhiyun once wanted to throw him out of the carriage. You are Li Zhiyun's teacher, not my "Li Zhiyun" teacher, why are you pretending to be so cool?
Before he became Li Zhiyun, Li Zhiyun had already started training.
"What does the teacher mean by this?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Tong sneered, "Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, also asked me this question."
Li Zhiyun stopped talking. He finally saw that Wang Tong was here to cause trouble.
Seeing that Li Zhiyun was silent, Wang Tong was also silent for a long time.
Afterwards, he whispered: "Zhiyun, I have experienced two dynasties, and I know some things very well. I naturally know what the situation in Chang'an is. You are the king of Chu, and you are in the middle of the situation. I understand. I just hope you will not forget your true intentions.
Don’t forget your ruler and your subjects.”
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, as the world has not yet been unified, Zhiyun will definitely do his best to serve his father's great cause."
"Alas." Wang Tong sighed heavily, but didn't say much after all.
He had already read Wang Gui's letter, and he had already seen through some things based on his experience.
Back in Chang'an, Wang Tong and Li Zhiyun went to the palace to meet Li Yuan.
Lao Li was very courteous to Wang Tong. Not only did he reward him with a house, but he also asked the imperial doctor to take Wang Tong's pulse and ordered Wang Tong to receive the honorary title of Minister of Rites.
Finally, when Wang Tong was leaving, Lao Li asked Wang Tong to teach King Chu well. It felt like a parent hiring a tutor back, which made Li Zhiyun very awkward.
