Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 152 Li Chengqian's Worries
East Palace.

In the huge backyard, there are clusters of figures.

Li Chengqian stood among the crowd, with a pen in his hand, his paint was flying, and he clicked out the last stroke.

There was a sudden applause from the crowd, and they applauded.

"His Royal Highness, the writing is vivid and the details are soft and beautiful. This picture of tired birds returning to their nests is a classic."

"The sky and water are the same color, the lonely shadow returns to the nest, and the feeling of emptiness and loneliness is vividly expressed. It is really a top-grade work!"

"His Royal Highness's painting skills are really amazing. It's only been two months, but he seems to have the demeanor of everyone. It really makes us old people feel ashamed!"

Everyone loves to hear words of praise, and Li Chengqian is no exception.

Putting down the brush holder and going to Bishan, Li Chengqian blew on the ink, with a proud smile on his face.

Now that he has made a strong statement, many literati and scholars worship under his door, and the literati are full of friends, which also lays a solid foundation for his stable position in the court.

Looking back at the surrounding guests, Li Chengqian walked towards the courtyard with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

"You are too modest."

"You are all famous people from various states and counties who have read poetry and books, and naturally you are also gentlemen who ask for advice alone."

"Speaking like this, it will make Gu Zi feel arrogant and unable to make progress. In the future, it will be better to give more guidance."

After some words came out, the guests behind them looked at each other with embarrassment.

Tapping.

The footsteps hurriedly passed the corridor and came towards the crowd.

Li Chengqian glanced at the burly figure in the corridor, paused, and asked.

"Li Zhen, do you have any news?"

Between the words, Li Zhen had already walked up to him, his tiger eyes swept over the figures beside Li Chengqian, and he forcibly held back the words he was about to speak.

When he cupped his hands, Li Chengqian raised his hand to interrupt.

"They're all academics who know the basics, it doesn't matter."

Li Chengqian had originally intended to make these strange men and women into counselors in the mansion, so after listening to some news this time, he could discuss it.

After glancing at the many scribes beside Li Chengqian again, Li Zhen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"His Royal Highness, the martial arts performance went smoothly yesterday, and His Majesty summoned Li Xian to accompany him."

"I heard that Li Xian came up with an excellent plan on top of the martial arts performance, so that His Majesty would not have the heart to watch the martial arts performance, and had a good chat with Li Xian, so he left the table early."

It was a common matter, but Li Chengqian heard some clues in his ears.

Right now, the battle against Tuyuhun is imminent, and the father even disregarded Yanwu and started discussing strategies with Li Xian!
It seems that the matter related to this strategy must be more important than performing martial arts!
"Is there any specific news? How to make a subtle plan?"

Li Zhen also heard a general rumor. After all, those who were present at the time were just some generals who were not interested in tactics other than marching and fighting, so when the news came out, it was a little exaggerated.

"I heard that they are white folds. Li Xian wants to use them to make some clothes to keep out the cold."

"My subordinates have also heard that if the effect is good, I am afraid that there will be a new kind of crop planted in the good fields of the Tang Dynasty in the future."

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up with a smile on his face.

"Okay! This Li Xian is an eccentric man who can make green salt, transform plows, and put shoes on horses."

"It's not surprising that Bai Dizizi has a magical effect, hahaha."

"It's great that Datang added another genius to improve people's livelihood!"

When the voice fell, several people behind Xilang praised and responded, and more guests looked at each other with strange expressions.

A thin figure twirled the long beard under the chin, leaned close to Li Chengqian's side, frowned slightly, thoughtfully on his face, pondered for a moment and whispered.

"His Royal Highness, Bai Diezi's wonderful use of keeping warm and cold is a good thing for the country and the people."

"But my subordinates have heard that Li Xian is arrogant by nature and doesn't want to be with His Highness. This...is not a good sign."

Seeing that this matter was brought up, Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, Zall flicked his sleeves, and walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back.

"In the past, Gu really wanted to recruit, but it didn't go well."

"Li Xian is actually not as Mr. said. It's just that he loves to do good, is lazy in his daily life, possesses great power and is restrained in his heart. That's why everyone misunderstood him."

"In Yigu's opinion, it doesn't really matter whether you recruit or not. It's not surprising that there are powerful people who have a solitary temper. As long as Li Xian can do some great things for the Tang Dynasty to benefit the country and the people, even What's the problem with him retiring to the mountains and forests?"

Hearing the words, several doormen beside him slowly shook their heads, looking gloomy when they looked at each other.

The thin doorman from before bowed his body slightly and moved closer to Li Chengqian's side, with a hint of anxiety in his words.

"His Royal Highness, this statement is wrong!"

Stepping forward quietly, the words turned low.

"Your Highness, if Li Xian really has such a lazy temper, he can let it go, but now he is by the king's side, and his official position is not small!"

"It's even more of a gentleman in Prince Jin's residence. With the position of Mr. Prince, everything is more variable!"

The dispute between the crown princes is a taboo in the court, and no one dares to mention it explicitly.

As a result, the guest's words were cryptic, and Li Chengqian could already hear a bit of it, thought for a moment, glanced at the worried guests around him, and laughed loudly.

"Everyone's thoughts, I have already received them."

"This lonely younger brother has always been low-key, and he can't be called an extremely smart person. Besides, he is still young, how can he have such thoughts?"

As soon as the voice fell, a doorman stepped forward and lowered his voice.

"His Royal Highness, don't be careless."

"Li Xian has made great achievements over and over again, and his status in His Majesty's heart is not what it used to be. With the current speed of promotion, do you dare to ask if there is anyone in the court who can rival him?"

"Earlier, His Royal Highness Prince Jin may have been just one of the inconspicuous princes. Since Li Xian moved into Prince Jin's residence, His Majesty has visited Prince Jin's residence as frequently as the East Palace!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned slightly, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

He became the crown prince at the age of eight, and he sat on the position of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and now the courtiers praised him a lot.But his younger brothers Wei Wang Li Tai and Wu Wang Li Ke are all ambitious people, and their potential threats should not be underestimated.

If Li Xian really wanted to stand beside His Royal Highness King Jin, it would be like having another tough opponent!
Recalling that in order to protect Li Xian, the emperor father even fell out with the courtiers at all costs.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian frowned, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.

Li Zhen, who had been silent all this time, quietly moved to Li Chengqian's side, pulled him aside, and whispered.

"Your Highness, the spies in the city came to report that His Highness King Wu and Li Xian had met in the teahouse..."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned suddenly, and a strange look flashed across his face.

His Royal Highness King Jin has friendship with Li Xian?
Li Chengqian didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

Clenching his fist secretly, Li Chengqian hooked his arm and whispered in Li Zhen's ear.

"Go to Li's residence and find out about Li Xian's tone."

"Remember, etiquette must be thoughtful!"
