Chapter 119 It's Just Small Things

Chapter 152 It's Just Small Things

Li Chengqian left, not only him, but also dozens of white-robed soldiers.

Everyone held valuable items in their hands, and under the complicated gazes of Cheng's housekeeper and servants, they slowly left from Lu Guogong's mansion.

People on the street looked sideways at each other, and when they saw that these people came out of Duke Lu's mansion, they immediately opened their mouths.

For so many years, it seems that no one has been able to take out so many things from Cheng's mansion. To be precise, no one has been able to take out anything from Cheng's mansion.

Seems like this is the first time.

Li Chengqian didn't bother to pay attention to them, and after returning to King Qian's Mansion with a group of white-robed soldiers, he locked everything in the warehouse.

After hiding the last key, Li Chengqian finally felt relieved.

In a few days, he will leave Chang'an. At that time, he no longer needs to be afraid of Cheng Yaojin.

In the afternoon, when Li Chengqian was lying down to rest, another noisy sound suddenly sounded outside.

Hearing this voice, Li Chengqian couldn't help but frowned, and his heart tightened.

Could it be that Cheng Yaojin found something missing in the house, so he called the door?
"Your Highness, someone from Liang Guogong's mansion said that his master sent an invitation card, saying that Liang Guogong's mansion set up a banquet. I hope His Highness will honor the banquet." Xue Rengui walked over and said.

"Liang Guogong's mansion..." Li Chengqian murmured: "Isn't that Fang Xuanling, what did he want from me?"

After thinking for a while, he raised his head, "Let him in."

A servant came in, handed over a gold-plated invitation card with both hands, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, my master invites you to a banquet in the mansion tonight, I hope you will show respect."

Li Chengqian accepted the invitation and said, "Okay, go back and tell Duke Liang that I am coming back."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

...

After the servants left, Li Chengqian looked at the invitation in his hand with a pensive look on his face.

The head of the civil servants in the court is Changsun Wuji, because he is not only a courtier, but also a relative, so he is naturally a holy family member.

But to say that Li Shimin's right-hand man, Fang Xuanling can definitely be ranked first, and even the prestige in the court is even better than Changsun Wuji!
Why would such a person take the initiative to find himself?
But no matter what, Li Chengqian could not refuse, because although the prince is honorable, it is just a symbol.

If there was a conflict between Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling, then Li Shimin would definitely stand by Fang Xuanling's side.

Because sons can be born again, but good ministers are hard to find.

After putting away the invitation, Li Chengqian tidied up in the house, put on a gray robe, and put an iron hairpin on his head. Overall, he looked quite human.

There should have been a lot of guards of honor for the prince to travel, but Chang'an didn't prepare them for him, so he had to ride a horse alone.

Such a miserable situation for a majestic prince really makes the listeners sad, and those who see it cry!

After half an hour, Li Chengqian finally arrived at Liang Guogong's mansion.

Originally, the distance from King Qian's Mansion to Duke Liang's Mansion was not far, but because he had to pass through Duke Lu's Mansion, in order to avoid bumping into the Cheng family, Li Chengqian took a long detour.

Before it was dark, the entrance of Liang Guogong's mansion was decorated with lights and festoons. The two red lanterns emitted a faint light. Across the gate, the sound of drums and zithers could be heard from inside.

Li Chengqian got off his horse, and a servant at the door immediately stepped forward, took the reins from him, and led the horse away.

Then the housekeeper who delivered the invitation seemed to have been waiting for a long time, but before he could enter the gate, the housekeeper trotted out.

"Your Highness, please come in." The butler said respectfully, and then led the way.

As soon as he entered the front hall, he heard footsteps, and then Fang Xuanling came out wearing a plain robe.

"The next official sees Your Highness!"

Fang Xuanling saluted with a smile, there was no deliberate respect in his words, but his posture was very low.

Li Chengqian didn't dare to trust him, and immediately bowed his hands in return and said: "Chengqian pays homage to Liang Guogong."

"Hehe, you don't need to be too polite, kid!"

Fang Xuanling looked at him and said with emotion: "The old man watched you grow up back then!"

"... "

Why are these words so familiar, where have I heard them?

Ah, it seems that the old man Cheng Yaojin also said this sentence.

What happened to Li Shimin? Why did he show his son as a pet? This one watched him grow up, and that one watched him grow up. Is there any privacy left?

Pursing her lips, Fang Xuanling said: "I heard that you called Cheng Yaojin Uncle Cheng, but you called the old man Liang Guogong. What's the reason?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Chengqian pays homage to Uncle Fang."

"Yes, Not Bad!"

Fang Xuanling patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are really energetic. It seems that you are more suitable to stay in Qianzhou. In the past two years, you have made a lot of contributions to Datang Jiangshan, and everything is comparable to the opening The merit of expanding the territory really surprised the old man."

Li Chengqian couldn't figure out Fang Xuanling's thoughts, but if others praised him, he must be humble, "Uncle Fang is serious, but it's just some trivial things, nothing special."

"... "

trifle...

When Fang Xuanling heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and suddenly he had the urge to slap him.

It's nothing special, but each of the things Li Chengqian did is enough to affect the entire Tang Dynasty, but he, the client, seemed to have nothing happened.

Pricking his heart, Fang Xuanling sighed, suddenly feeling dull.

"Chengqian, the banquet has been set, let's go in and have a drink and chat!"

Fang Xuanling said, then grabbed Li Chengqian's wrist and walked into the hall.

As a place to receive guests, the front hall may be very delicate, even a rough man like Cheng Yaojin would decorate the front hall in an antique style, for fear of losing face.

Literati like Fang Xuanling naturally pay more attention to image.

All kinds of auspicious animals are carved in the entire front hall, and there is a refreshing fragrance in the air.

It can be seen from this that Fang Xuanling is a delicate old boy in his daily life, and strives to be the best.

Naturally Fang Xuanling would not entertain Li Chengqian alone, there are still several people sitting in the hall at the moment.

However, apart from Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda, Li Chengqian's impression of the others was very vague.

"Chengqian, you must know Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda, now let me introduce them to you."

Fang Xuanling pulled Li Chengqian to the side of a hale and hearty old man on the far left, and said with a smile: "This is Xu Jingzong, a man from Gaoyang County..."

"what?"

Li Chengqian looked at this man with shock in his eyes.

Xu Jingzong, one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, can be regarded as a figure with mixed reviews in history.

Xu Jingzong was born in Xincheng, Hangzhou. His father, Xu Shanxin, was an official in the Sui Dynasty.

In the second year of Sui Yining's reign, General Yu Wenhuaji of Youtunwei of the Sui Dynasty launched a coup and killed Xu Shanxin.

Xu Jingzong begged unceasingly to save him from death.

Soon, he defected to the Wagang Army and became Li's secret recorder, becoming colleagues with Wei Zheng.

After Li Mi's failure, Xu Jingzong returned to the Tang Dynasty and made up for Lianzhou.

Li Shimin heard of his reputation and called him a scholar of the Qin Palace. Together with Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining and others, he was the eighteenth scholar of the Qin Palace.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, he was awarded the title of writer, and also studied national history, and was promoted to Zhongshu Sheren.

Logically speaking, with such a good background and the merits of being a dragon, Xu Jingzong should be promoted all the way, not just a man from Gaoyang County.

However, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, because Xu Jingzong did a wonderful thing, he was demoted to Sima of Hongzhou Dudufu.
