Lin Xuan told Xu Geng a few words and hurried downstairs to the outside of the college.
Li Tai got off the carriage, looked around for a while, and then asked someone to sign up for him, and walked around curiously.
"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations." Li Tai slowly read out the verses on the stone tablet.
Just twenty-two words gave Li Tai a huge impact and made him freeze on the spot.
The guard's blocking voice brought Li Tai back to his senses.
Li Tai turned around and saw Lin Xuan being stopped not far away by his guards. Li Tai waved his hand and the guards quickly moved out of the way.
Lin Xuan came closer, cupped his hands and said, "I have met His Highness King Wei, but I didn't know His Highness was coming, so I couldn't greet you from a distance. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
"I came here without telling you, so the Marquis of Jingyang County doesn't blame me." Li Tai said with a smile.
Lin Xuan asked: "I wonder what your highness is here for?"
Showing hospitality for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Li Tai came here and was so polite, who knew what he was planning. So Lin Xuan was very vigilant.
"Tai wants to study arithmetic with the Marquis of Jingyang County, and my father has agreed to this." Li Tai said, and gave Lin Xuan a student salute.
Although Lin Xuan was a little confused by Li Tai's words, he quickly hid when he saw Li Tai salute.
"Your Highness has disgraced me. Although I have opened a college, I have no intention of teaching in person! Besides, how can I teach your Highness how virtuous I am?" When Lin Xuan spoke, he had already scolded Li Tai and Li Shimin in his heart.
All over.
What the hell, isn't this just looking for trouble for him?
Li Tai said with some confusion: "But I heard that you said that after the college starts, you will teach arithmetic in person. Is it possible that I heard rumors? But I have already told my father, what should I do now?
"
After speaking, Li Tai's tone was still a little anxious.
Lin Xuan looked at Li Tai's performance and didn't know what to say. He could only blame himself for being a bitch.
Some time ago, Li Dejiang invited them to drink at Mingyue Pavilion.
Lin Xuan bragged to them that he would be able to teach arithmetic when the college starts, and he would be regarded as a role model for others in the future.
I don’t know how this sentence reached Li Tai, and the current scene happened.
Li Tai looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, waiting for Lin Xuan's response.
"Boyuan Academy only accepts children aged seven or eight. Your Highness is twelve years old, so I'm afraid it's not suitable." Lin Xuan said.
In fact, there were no regulations at all, only those aged seven or eight were admitted. He was just trying to keep Li Tai out.
He definitely doesn't want Li Tai to come to study with him.
Lin Xuan really doesn't like that he has too many thoughts at such a young age.
Moreover, if anything happens to Li Tai, he will be in big trouble.
Li Tai did not get angry because of Lin Xuan's refusal, but he said with some embarrassment: "I begged my father for a long time before he agreed. If I don't study here now, I'm afraid my father will blame me."
The implicit meaning of this sentence is that this is Li Shimin's decision, and if Lin Xuan refuses, he will be resisting the decree.
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I will go to His Majesty to discuss this matter."
Li Tai didn't seem to care at all and said with a smile: "It would be best if the Marquis of Jingyang County could go and talk to my father."
"Your Highness, I will take my leave first!" Lin Xuan bowed his hands and turned around.
Li Tai looked at Lin Xuan's leaving figure and smiled coldly.
Half an hour later, the person sent by Li Tai to register came back and said, "Your Highness, you have already registered. They told you to come to school tomorrow."
Li Tai nodded and said, "Go back!"
…
"Meet the Queen Mother!" Li Chengqian bowed and saluted.
Empress Changsun waved her hand and said with a smile: "Gao Ming is here, come and sit."
When Li Chengqian came to sit down with Queen Changsun, he asked, "I wonder what the queen mother's instructions are for calling her ministers here?"
Empress Changsun looked at Li Chengqian a lot and sighed: "Unknowingly, Gao Ming has grown so old, and he has reached the age where he wants to marry the princess."
Li Chengqian didn't expect his mother to say this to him, and was a little confused.
It's not that he doesn't understand things between men and women. Being in an imperial family, even if he doesn't understand, there are still people who can teach him how to understand.
Despite Li Chengqian's young age, his child is already two years old.
But he is not lustful, otherwise he would not have only one child now.
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Why, are you shy?"
Li Chengqian came back to his senses and said: "Marriage is a major matter, and the parents' orders for the matchmaker should be decided by the father, the emperor, and the queen."
Li Tai's words were natural and there was no sense of exclusion from being arranged.
There is no such thing as resistance.
There were such things as running away from marriage and elopement in ancient times, but certainly not many.
And this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen to nobles.
For them, taking concubines is a normal thing. They can marry anyone they like or not, so there is nothing to resist.
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Although it is the father, the emperor and the mother who choose the person later, after all, they are choosing the crown prince for you, and the queen mother still wants to hear your opinion."
After saying that, Empress Changsun picked up a few pieces of paper on the table, handed them to Li Chengqian, and said, "These are the ones chosen by the empress. See if there is anything you particularly like."
Although he said that he wanted to ask Li Chengqian for his opinion, he definitely couldn't let Li Chengqian choose randomly. He had to choose among the people he selected.
Li Chengqian took it and looked at it carefully.
The people chosen by Queen Changsun were not many, there were only four in total.
The family backgrounds of these four people are not considered to be top-notch in the Tang Dynasty. The only thing they have in common is that their families have been officials for generations and they do not belong to aristocratic families.
From this point of view, Queen Changsun has put in a lot of effort.
From a selfish point of view, Empress Changsun definitely hopes that the Crown Princess will come from the Changsun family.
Even though marriage between close relatives is not allowed now, you can still marry someone from your uncle's Gao family.
Changsun Wuji also hinted to her many times that she could choose a girl from the Gao family to be the crown prince.
But Empress Changsun didn't agree. Whether she chooses or not, both the Changsun family and the Gao family will be Li Chengqian's help.
She wanted to find a princess for Li Chengqian who would be helpful to Li Chengqian in the future.
"How's it going? Do you like anyone?" Queen Changsun asked.
Li Chengqian shook his head and asked: "Which one does the queen think is best?"
It's just some information about how good it is, but no one else has seen it, so I don't know how to choose.
Queen Changsun thought for a while and said, "What do you think of Su Waner?"
Su Waner?
Information about Su Waner emerged in Li Chengqian's mind.
Su Wan'er's father was Secretary Cheng Su Dan, her great-grandfather Su Wei was Zuopushe, Minister of the Sui Dynasty, and her uncle Su Xu married Li Yuan's daughter, Princess Nanchang.
To be honest, Su Waner's family background is not the best among the four.
Although Li Chengqian was a little surprised that Queen Changsun would choose Su Waner.
But knowing that the queen mother would not harm her, she nodded and said, "It's all up to the queen mother to make the decision!"
Empress Changsun nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, my mother will tell your father about this and ask your father to issue a decree to grant the marriage."
Amelia Su can be said to be the one she is most satisfied with.
There were many officials in the court who were former Sui Dynasty ministers.
Su Wan'er's great-grandfather Su Wei, together with Yu Wenshu, Pei Ju, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji, were known as the "Five Nobles" when they jointly assisted in government affairs.
Marrying Su Waner would be of great help in stabilizing those former Sui ministers.
With the support of the eldest grandson family and the Gao family, as well as the invisible influence of the Su family, Li Chengqian's position as prince can be said to be very stable as long as he does not make big mistakes.
She has already shown these candidates to Li Shimin and is not worried that Li Shimin will reject them.
"Mother, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first," Li Chengqian said.
