Chapter 208 Excited!Long face!

Li Chengdao shook his head gently and said, "I don't know, kid!"

Li Yuan patiently explained: "Chengdao, look, there is no one else in the Tang Dynasty like you, who holds great power, everyone is innocent and guilty, and now both inside and outside the court are under the control of your uncle Li Shimin." …Hey, let’s not talk about it, let me tell you this, as a prince, you have a lot of power in your hands, and the previous rectification of officials, although the effect is remarkable, but there are many people who are dissatisfied with you!"

Needless to say, Li Yuan also knew that Li Chengdao knew that his previous political actions had indeed greatly promoted the development of the Tang Dynasty. However, reform would always change some people and remove some people. To put it bluntly, it touched the Many people or families have inherent interests.

There is no need for a heavy hammer to beat the drum. When Li Yuan said this, Li Chengdao already understood that this must be someone who wants to take the opportunity to humiliate him.Ancient people have always attached great importance to virtue, and this so-called virtue, in the eyes of these rotten Confucians, is the degree of mastery of Confucianism. If you can't show it in the sutra banquet, you may lose the ground.

Seeing that Li Chengdao did not speak, Li Yuan continued: "Chengdao, you are a smart boy. Thanks to your efforts, Datang is now stronger than ever in all aspects, but there are still many internal and external troubles. Needless to say, those families in the country , just say that these barbaric lands outside are also eyeing my Tang Dynasty!"

Want cultural aggression?Li Chengdao thought to himself when he heard this.

In fact, at the beginning when I heard that the re-opening of the Sutra Feast required me to participate, Li Chengdao simply thought that it would be all right to participate, at worst, he would just be a wooden man without saying a word.

However, what Li Yuan said today made Li Chengdao feel the crisis. It seemed that he not only had to participate in this sutra banquet, but also needed to make a difference, otherwise, he might not have a foothold in the ruling and opposition parties in the future.

After bidding farewell to the emperor's grandfather, Li Yuan returned to the palace alone. After Li Shimin escaped, the original Qin Palace was given to Li Chengdao by Li Yuan as his residence.

After Li Chengdao returned to the mansion, he removed his armor and put on a plain robe. Li Yuan always liked to be quiet, so he rejected the more than a hundred servants that Li Yuan rewarded. There was only one old housekeeper, Uncle De, who had served the prince Li Jiancheng, and a dozen or so servants. A personal soldier.

Li Chengdao paced back and forth in the living room, while Uncle De stood aside, looking at the child he had grown up with, frowning or sighing.

"Uncle De!"

Li Chengdao stopped suddenly and said, "I'll make a list. You go and borrow these books from Mr. Kong Ming's mansion. I will read them by candlelight tonight!"

Li Chengdao also had the same thoughts as the Hanlin Academy, the Inspectorate, and all the civil servants in the court.In their view, although Li Chengdao was a prince, he was just a warrior with military power!This Sutra Banquet is a holy place for literati, how could he be allowed to act so arrogantly here!
So these so-called literati and Confucianists, just like when they went to Beijing to rush for the exam, burnt the lights to fight at night, quoted scriptures and classics, and worked hard all night. The blockbuster made this Wu Wang Li Chengdao ashamed.

In the twinkling of an eye, the day of the Sutra Banquet came. Although the start time had not yet arrived, the Taiji Palace was already full of civil and military affairs, and hundreds of officials gathered.Anyway, the Holy Majesty opened Chrysostom, today's sutra feast, civil and military officials can participate, except for those who have nothing to do, watch the excitement, and even many foreign envoys came early, ready to watch the excitement.

On the day when the Jingyan was re-opened, all the cabinet scholars were present, and they seemed to attach great importance to it. The three cabinet scholars headed by Kong Ming, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and a group of ministers attended the scene one after another. Under the leadership of Duke Yan Sheng of the Confucian Mansion in Shandong, all the great Confucian scholars sat upright in the court hall.

Etiquette is no small matter, and the ostentation was unprecedentedly luxurious. The chief eunuch, the chief inspector of ceremonies, personally led two of his chief eunuchs, and eight young eunuchs from the Huang family.

The chief eunuch named Gao Lida was shocked when he entered the palace and saw many generals.He is also an old man in the palace, and it can be said that he has served three emperors. The affairs of the court can be seen in his eyes. The ministers of civil and military affairs have not been in harmony in the past dynasties. So many military generals came to participate in a literati event, it's really fresh!

Gao Lida couldn't help thinking to himself, these rough people must order to write their own names, why come here to join in the fun!
How did Gao Lida know that now Li Chengdao has faintly become the head of military generals, and he heard that Li Chengdao would also personally participate in the Sutra Banquet, so he agreed that if the King of Wu shines brilliantly at this Sutra Banquet, wouldn't it be for the Tang Dynasty? Many generals have grown faces!
Therefore, regardless of whether they are literate or not, when they heard about this, they came here one after another, not for anything else, even if it was to cheer on the momentum, they had to contribute their own strength.

This led to the fact that although the grand meeting held in this hall is for literati, the number of military generals is no less than that of civil officials. This can be said to be the only one in history!

Seeing that it was almost time, the civil and military officials followed the rules of the upper court, with civil servants in the left hall and military generals in the right hall.The civil servants should be headed by Kong Ming, but Kong Ming belongs to Li Chengdao's faction, and today's civil servants seem to be headed by Li Xiyang, a cabinet scholar.Needless to say about the generals, many generals stood beside Li Chengdao, hugging him like stars.

Excited!Long face!Today, military generals can finally straighten their backs and march into this sacred place of literati.

As for King Wu's knowledge, don't think that these generals are short-sighted because they are illiterate. You have inquired about it beforehand. Mr. Kong Ming, the prime minister of the dynasty, is awesome, right?He has already praised him, how can this knowledge be worse?
Li Chengdao stood there bravely, feeling the eager eyes of many generals behind him, but his heart kept beating drums.

Yesterday I decided to read at night by candlelight, and sent someone to the Prime Minister Kong Ming's mansion to borrow books. Who knew that Uncle De was alone when he went there, and when he came back, he even pulled a carriage for himself.

Looking at a load of books, Li Chengdao finally understood what it means to learn to be rich and five cars. According to Uncle De, these books were carefully selected by Mr. Kong Ming. If Li Chengdao really wanted to make achievements in this area, I am afraid that five cars would not be enough. However, the books of ten carts and eight carts are about the same.

When Li Chengdao saw this, he might as well fuck him, what the hell is this?Even if he divides himself into ten parts, I am afraid that there will not be a year or so, and the catalogs of these books will not be finished. He simply asked Uncle De to bring the carriage into the mansion, and asked Uncle De to arrange a banquet at night, and called a group of acquainted generals , get drunk.

These generals, such as Ma Chao and Huo Qubing, naturally knew that Li Chengdao was about to attend the Jingyan. It was a ruthless blow, but now seeing that King Wu is so calm and still has the heart to entertain himself, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up secretly, thinking in his heart: "See? This is the style of a general, you have a plan in mind!"
