"I have no official title, so it's not good for me to follow him!" Zhao Chen didn't really want to follow the emperor to Jiangnan.
No matter how good Jiangnan is today, it can't compare to what I remember.
Besides, following the emperor would definitely be an endless process.
Since it’s travel, don’t worry about those trivial matters, right?
Zhao Chen can think of it now.
In a place where corrupt officials were rampant, the emperor revealed his identity and came to arrest the traitorous officials.
Won the applause of the people.
It's such an old thing, he doesn't want to follow the emperor around.
Wouldn't it be better to stay in Chang'an City and wait for the child in Li Ruoshuang's belly to be born?
But Old Li Tou obviously had no intention of letting Zhao Chen go.
"Zhao Chen, after the Lantern Festival, I will go on a tour of the south of the Yangtze River. Then you and Ke'er will follow me."
"The prince will stay in Chang'an to supervise the country." The emperor put down his wine glass and said to everyone.
When Li Tai heard that the emperor asked him to stay in Chang'an to supervise the country, he was extremely happy.
If he stays to supervise the country, then it is not him who has the final say in what happens in Chang'an City.
If you want to deal with Zhao Chen then, it won't be easy or simple.
"Father, don't worry, my son and I will definitely work hard and don't dare to relax even a little bit!" Li Tai stood up from his seat and held hands with the emperor.
The joy on his face could not be concealed.
"Your Majesty, it is already a great favor for Zhao Chen to come here for the banquet today. As for following your Majesty to Jiangnan."
"There is really nothing I can do..."
"Don't be too busy refusing. The conditions I told you before are still valid even now."
"Ruoshuang, after you go back, remember to persuade this stubborn boy!" The emperor interrupted Zhao Chen and laughed with Li Ruoshuang.
Everyone was curious about the conditions the emperor had told Zhao Chen before.
But no one dared to ask a question.
"Dang——dang——dang——"
Three bells sounded, and the tenth year of Zhenguan has become the last year.
Firecrackers crackled outside.
"New year and new atmosphere, come and collect your lucky money." Hearing the sound of firecrackers outside, the joy on the emperor's face became more intense.
But it’s time for the annual New Year’s money distribution.
After the private treasury was emptied out by Zhao Chen last year, he was really miserable.
I almost didn’t even give out the New Year’s money.
Several little girls secretly said that his father was stingy.
This year, it's going to be different.
Old Li Tou is rich, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Isn't this a good demonstration of the emperor's magnanimity?
"Come, Pheasant slave, you are the youngest. I will give you two gold leaves. You must study hard in the academy from now on." The emperor spread a row of gold leaves on the table in front of him.
It seems that he is afraid that others will not know that he is rich this year.
Queen Changsun on the side pursed her lips, with a smile on her face.
Only at this time will the emperor behave like an ordinary father.
Moreover, he is a father with a bulging purse and a straight waist.
"Thank you, Father." Xiao Li Zhi was extremely happy to receive the new year's money with two gold leaves.
Last year, he got ten copper coins as lucky money.
I can only afford a few buns!
"Sir, do you also have to give me lucky money?" Xiao Li Zhi walked down happily holding two gold leaves.
Seeing Zhao Chen talking to Li Ke, he rolled his eyes and walked towards Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen raised his head and looked at Xiao Li Zhi, who had a smug look on his face.
Looking at the two gold leaves in his hand, he said: "You have been living and eating in my house for several months. I also spend money to dress you on weekdays."
"Are you embarrassed to ask me for lucky money?"
When the emperor heard this, his expression immediately changed.
He placed Xiao Li Zhi in Zhao Chen's house, partly so that Xiao Li Zhi could learn something from Zhao Chen.
Another reason was that he wanted to let Xiao Li Zhi live in the Zhao Mansion for free.
Wouldn't this allow us to take advantage of Zhao Chen from the side?
Who told Zhao Chen to empty out his private treasury that time?
But now that Zhao Chen had exposed it in front of so many people, the emperor felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem." The emperor coughed, and then said: "This is the New Year, don't talk about those unhappy things."
"Zhao Chen, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Why don't you compose a poem with me to let these little guys know that they must study hard."
"without……"
"Sir, this is the Chinese New Year, you can't let your father fail to come to the stage." Li Ke quickly grabbed Zhao Chen.
I was afraid that he would reject it directly in front of so many people.
"No problem." Zhao Chen looked back at Li Ke, paused, and nodded with the emperor.
Old Li Tou just breathed a sigh of relief. He found that he was a little too proud.
How can it be so simple to ask Zhao Chen to compose poems?
Ninety-nine percent of the time, this kid will reject him directly.
Even when he heard Zhao Chen say there was no problem, Old Li Tou didn't even react.
"What kind of poem does Your Majesty want?" Zhao Chen asked the emperor.
"Just focus on the New Year's Day and make it a little more festive!" The emperor came back to his senses and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He secretly thought that Zhao Chen was still very generous today.
"In this case, then I will just copy it...ah, just compose a song!" Zhao Chen suddenly turned a corner when he was halfway through speaking.
"copy?"
"Did I hear wrongly?"
"Zhao Chen said he copied...a random song?"
"No!"
Zhao Chen's words set off the banquet.
Everyone looked at Zhao Chen with strange expressions.
I wondered if Zhao Chen had said it wrong or on purpose.
Just copy a song?
Is this a fucking joke?
"Ahem, Zhao Chen, what did you just say?" The emperor frowned and looked at Zhao Chen.
"To report to the emperor, Zhao Chen just seemed to have said that he would just copy a poem to fool the emperor." Li Tai cupped hands with the emperor at the side.
He couldn't just let go of such a good opportunity to add insult to injury.
The emperor did not answer, but said to Zhao Chen: "Although I have not read all the ancient and modern poems, I have read seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight. Zhao Chen, please don't mess with me."
"Sir, did you say something wrong?"
"Why did you just copy it casually!" Li Ke was also confused by Zhao Chen's words.
"What are you talking about? When did my husband ever say that he would just copy a poem?"
"With my husband's literary talent, which of you can compare with him?" Li Ruoshuang looked at Li Tai with a look of displeasure on her face.
It's this guy who is always in trouble with Zhao Chen.
Li Ruoshuang decided that when her stomach was relieved, she would deal with Li Tai severely.
Let him lie in the East Palace for at least half a month.
"That's right, our husband is very talented in literature, but you, Prince, are far behind."
"Copying, only your prince can copy it, I heard..."
"Li Ke!" Li Tai shouted at Li Ke with an ugly look on his face.
"Since Zhao Chen didn't copy it, please compose a poem. I want to see what kind of ability he has if he doesn't copy it?" Li Tai was also broken now.
He then concluded that Zhao Chen just did not make a slip of the tongue.
But he almost spoke his mind.
copy!
Although he had never heard of the poems written by Zhao Chen before, who knew where he copied them.
It's just that Li Tai is ignorant and ignorant.
But Li Tai had read all the New Year's poems by heart. If Zhao Chen dared to copy them, he would dare to expose them to Zhao Chen's face.?
