Don't be a prince

Having said that, Du Ruhui also put away his playful thoughts, put down his wine glass and sat upright, and said solemnly: "Since that's the case, how about the imperial court making a special decree for this? Seeing that the Great Court Meeting in the twelfth lunar month is coming, Your Highness Propose it officially, and after discussing it in the court, it will be implemented in the whole Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chengqian shook his head: "No, you have to mention it yourself. This kind of thing that will arouse resentment from many people, if you don't do it alone, it will arouse resentment!"

Chapter 278 Old Yuan's Secret Room

There is no doubt that even if the court issues such a decree, it may be difficult to achieve results.

Family heirloom, no matter it is the heirloom of poetry and etiquette, or the heir of iron hammer, it is necessary to hand over the things one has accumulated to the son, not the next generation.

Many famous people have their own unique skills.Everyone knows about unique knowledge, so is it still called unique learning?

The biggest headache for Sun Simiao was the non-cooperation of many famous doctors. Even if they offered real money, they would be more reluctant to contribute their own prescriptions.Moreover, Sun Simiao's behavior of editing prescription books, preparing to publish them, and making them public to the world is simply stupid in the eyes of many famous doctors.He was even judged as a betrayer of the medical industry.

This is a declaration of war against tradition, and the odds of winning, at least in the short term, are almost none!

After breakfast, Li Chengqian returned to his yard, and Du Ruhui returned to his private room. Although they met each other, the etiquette that should be performed still had to be carried out.When they met in the morning, they just bowed their hands to each other, even after seeing the ceremony, but when they formally performed the etiquette, one had to be serious, and the other had to kneel down.

After reading the emperor's imperial edict, fully expressing the worries of a diligent emperor and his confidant ministers, and then handing over the emperor's reward to Du Ruhui, the etiquette is considered to be over.This imperial decree, at first glance, was not written by the emperor, because a simple matter turned out to be extremely complicated, and it was clearly a greeting to the sickness. After reading it, the feeling of being back to the mountain almost buried the ward.Besides, the emperor was busy with affairs, so how could he have time to write such a long imperial decree? It was obviously written by someone else.

However, Du Ruhui didn't care about it, holding the imperial decree was as happy as holding the first child.Not all ministers are qualified to ask the emperor to greet him, and those who are greeted by the emperor are all humerus important ministers.

After handing over the imperial decree to the eldest son Du Gou, Du Ruhui looked at the heavy snow that was still falling outside, and said, "Your Highness, why don't you stay in the academy temporarily and wait for the snow to stop before leaving. My minister's body needs to be recuperated for a period of time, just right." I would like to take this opportunity to discuss government affairs with you."

After ordering several officials from the Ministry of Rites to leave, Li Chengqian sat down on the chair in the ward: "It's snowing so much, you must not be able to go back? Your vacation? I guess it will be extended because of it. What is there to talk about in the government?" How about this, Du Shangshu? How about you giving lectures in the college? Now almost all the graduates of the first period of the college have come back? They are working hard on their graduation thesis, and your lectures will definitely give them a lot of inspiration."

"Is the old man giving a lecture?"

Hearing this all of a sudden, Du Ruhui really felt itchy for a moment? He is a traditional literati?

Seeing Du Ruhui's thoughts, Li Chengqian added: "Father has already started preparing for the exams for college students? Although I don't know the details? But I infer that many people will be admitted. Large areas of the grassland need to send officials. It is inappropriate to send children from aristocratic families, but children from ordinary people are the best candidates? Because they will not be contaminated with too much utilitarianism. You can tell them about your experience as an official, or about being admitted; what should you do after being admitted? Tell me! Of course, the academy won’t let you lecture in vain? One hundred pennies is your reward for lecturing? How about it?”

Du Ruhui nodded, immediately went to the desk and sat down, and began to think hard about the content of the lecture.How much money is not a problem, if he is unwilling to talk about it, even if the college moves a golden mountain, he... has to think about it first.Most importantly, what content to say is the most appropriate.

This is a very good opportunity. The most important thing among officials is the relationship of affiliation, or the friendship between teachers and students.These two things are much more convenient than blunt wooing.Although the Du family can be regarded as a big family, but they are also new nobles. If they want to allow future generations to continue to hang out in the officialdom, there must be some connections.

Seeing that Du Ruhui had already begun to meditate, Li Chengqian declined Du Gou's farewell and left quietly.

It is still very unusual for Changan to have such a heavy snowfall. Just after leaving the inpatient building, I saw many medical students clearing the snow.These students all directly stated that they wanted to enter the medical school to study medical skills, and most of them were graduates of the first batch.In terms of students' choice of their own way out, Mr. Yang Du's idea is to let freedom.The road is walked by oneself, and other people's instructions may not be appropriate.

Since these students like to study medicine, then give them such an opportunity. Although being an official can be regarded as honoring one's ancestors, one's life is not just for honoring one's ancestors, is it?

Walking past the medical school, I realized that not only the students of the medical school were removing the snow, but also the students of the college were also removing the snow. Almost all of the snow removal figures were graduates.The students of the college attach great importance to the collective honor, and they obviously don't think about eating and drinking after being tortured by the graduation thesis, but they will still not miss this kind of group activities.After all, they have been completely "on holiday", but the juniors still have to go to class, so it is impossible to spend the study time on doing chores.

Of course, among those who removed the snow were descendants of aristocratic families, whether it was Chang Sun Chong, Du He or the others, they were not lazy, but were really removing the snow.

Seeing the figure of the prince, the students who were clearing the snow gathered around and began to talk about how tortured writing their thesis was.

With a wave of his arms, Chang Sun Chong shut everyone up, and he still had to obey the orders of the student union chairman.

"Okay, okay, I know that you are suffering a lot, but don't you have to write it no matter if you are a child of an aristocratic family or a commoner student. I believe you have already heard the gossip. This paper is specially prepared for you by Gu. Shi, whether you can attract the attention of the bigwigs of the imperial court depends on your own methods. But it has been agreed in advance that flattery is not acceptable.

In fact, it is very simple, as long as you go through what you think and learn, and then think about your own ambitions, a paper will come out.In fact, the thesis does not require you to write well, how delicate the writing style is, how beautiful the words and sentences are, you must know that the content is the core! "

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, many people were thoughtful, and it seemed that they had listened.

Looking at the snowdrifts they had piled up indiscriminately, Li Chengqian suddenly became playful, pointed to the snowdrifts and said, "If it's just work, it's so boring, why don't we pile all the snow together and beat it hard. Be a stone, make some carvings or something. You are going to graduate soon, you have to leave some souvenirs for the students behind you, don’t you?”

Li Chengqian's proposal immediately received applause from the students, and everyone mustered up their energy and started working again.

Thinking that he hadn't played in the snow for a long time, Li Chengqian's heart felt itchy, and he picked up the wooden shovel, but was stopped by Chang He and Zhang Yun.

"Your Highness, if you suffer from the wind and cold because of this, we will surely die."

Not only the two of them said that, Chang Sun Chong also came over and said: "Chengqian, you should rest, how can a prince do such rough work?"

This made me angry, what happened to the prince doing some work?Even the majestic emperor doesn't work all day long?You must know that reviewing memorials is not a happy job. From the perspective of Li Chengqian who has experienced it, it is not much worse than defending a barracks in the cold wind.

Seeing that there was a big snowdrift behind Chang Sun Chong, Li Chengqian came up with a plan and shouted loudly: "Everyone look over here, Gu will teach you an interesting way to play!"

After most people's attention was attracted, Li Chengqian rushed towards Changsun with a wicked smile.

Chang Sun Chong was holding a wooden shovel in his hand, and quickly threw it aside when he saw the prince rushing over. He still hasn't figured out what the prince is going to do.

Hugging him directly, he was about to knock him down.

Chang Sun Chong was not an ordinary person either, he took a deep breath when he noticed the prince's intentions, and used his wrestling skills to prepare to resolve the crisis.How could Li Chengqian let him succeed?Niu Jinda's various skills were not learned in vain.Just the change in the moves made Chang Sun Chong's remedy useless. Li Chengqian lifted him off the ground and fell heavily into the snowdrift.

Before Changsun Chong could react, Li Chengqian threw himself on Yangxue who was on the snow, and laughed loudly: "This game is called burying the living, hahaha!"

Chai Zhewei was the first to react. Seeing that Chang Sun Chong couldn't react in time with his eyes protected, he immediately threw away the wooden shovel and joined the ranks of "murderers".

With Li Chengqian in the lead, many people immediately found their friends and began to wrestle on the snow. As long as there is someone who falls to the ground, they will definitely be besieged by the people around them.

In the office building, Yang Du opened the window of the office and watched the students go crazy outside.

Fang Xiaoquan patted on the window and worried: "How can this work? If you get wet, you will suffer from the wind and cold. You have to stop them quickly."

Yang Du sighed and said: "Okay, just tell the students at the medical school to prepare some cold soup for them, and you can see what the graduation thesis has done to them during this period, it's time to vent. Just vent."

Hearing what Yang Du said, Fang Xiaoquan could only sigh, and simply went out of sight and out of mind.I'm getting older, and I don't have the mind to have fun, but seeing my disciples are so happy, I still have the idea of ​​being together, it's better not to watch.

After successfully mobilizing everyone, Li Chengqian retired and ran away quietly.If things go on like this, even if he is still wearing the prince's robes, he will probably be poisoned.

When I returned to the yard, I realized that someone was already waiting here.

I didn't know him, but after asking, I found out that he was an eunuch under Changle, named Dafu.

Needless to say, this name must have been chosen by Chang Le.

With so much snow on the side of the college, it is estimated that the side of Chang'an is not too small, because Dafu's eyes are still bloody, and he is wet all over, and he looks like he has fallen.

"Changle's temper is getting worse and worse. How can you be sent out in such a day? What if you break it? After you go back, you have to reprimand her. Tell me, what do you want to say, and then go to the kitchen. Let the cook cook some ginger soup for you."

Thinking of Changle's temperament, Li Chengqian felt that she must have taken a fancy to the auction house or something in the East Palace again.Since her scheme succeeded, this girl has become more and more ignorant of her elder brother, and she is confident in everything she wants.

Dafu cupped his hands, and said excitedly: "Your Highness is concerned, it is worth it even if the servant falls to death! Princess Changle asked the servant to tell His Highness that Chang'an Xueda, the queen will go to Laojunguan to pray for blessings tomorrow, and Miss Su will follow .”

"WHAT?"

"My special?"

Seeing Dafu stunned, Li Chengqian immediately smiled: "It's nothing, it's fine, you go down and change your clothes, drink some ginger soup to warm your body, and then go back to Chang'an with Gu!"

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian took out the money bag from Zhang Yun's sleeve and threw it directly to Dafu without opening it.

Dafu, who had never received so many rewards, was so excited that he fell to his knees and shouted "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward".

Chang He, who was watching the whole process, couldn't help but wondered: "Your Highness, didn't you say that some geniuses returned to Chang'an? Miss Su's is..."

That's what people who don't wink are like. Seeing the prince's stare, Chang He quickly shut his mouth.

Stretching his waist, Li Chengqian said: "Order, everyone will be rewarded when they return to Chang'an. Drive as slowly as you can."

Knowing that he was talking too much, Chang He bowed his hands and went down to make arrangements.

Tsk tsk, Su Yuan, since the last time we met, the two have been in contact by letter.This opportunity is rare.

I don't know what my daughter-in-law will look like when she is finished, so I need to get along with her for a while this time.

As for Changle, this thing is done beautifully!The skins brought back by the pro-leader had to pick a good one and give it to her.

The speed of the imperial army's reorganization is still very fast, and they have no right to complain, but they heard that there will be rewards after returning to Chang'an, and everyone became excited.We all know that the crown prince's rewards are always generous, maybe a one-time reward is more than their one-month salary.

Getting back into the carriage, in anticipation, the team slowly drove back to Chang'an.

The snow in Chang'an was also very heavy. For nobles and wealthy businessmen, it could only be regarded as a heavy snow that added to the scenery, but for many ordinary people, it was already considered a disaster.

When passing by the coal sales point, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction after seeing signs saying "Borrow coal first, then give money" and "Lonely elderly and poor households can receive coal for free".The people under him are still very capable, and they should indeed do so in such weather.The former is to give a lot of people a step down, and the latter is real relief.The people of Tang Dynasty have not pretended to receive relief, and those who receive relief must really have trouble living.

The East Palace is also clearing snow. Since they were inspired by the prince two years ago, they have learned to make snowmen, but it is a pity that there is no one who is good at carving, otherwise the East Palace will definitely have lifelike sculptures.

I will see my future daughter-in-law tomorrow, who has the time to enjoy the snow.Back in the study, Chang He nodded his head stiffly after a meal of coercion and temptation.Tomorrow, he will bring a few elite guards and leave the palace in disguise with the prince...

One night... spring dream...

In the morning, Li Chengqian's face immediately turned red after breaking the sheets and underwear into a ball and throwing them to Zhang Yun for him to burn.

It's no longer the psychological age for seeing sex, why is it still so embarrassing?It's obviously a miss, but after falling asleep at night, it directly becomes a desire. We are not people who think with the lower body!

"Your Highness, Chang He is ready and asked if he should go out now."

"Get out! We have to step on it in advance, and find someone else to quietly inform Chang Le, and say that Gu will put a small red flag in the invisible place, and let her come to me according to the chess pieces."

Zhang Yun nodded, held back a smile and walked out with the sheets.

The East Palace also has a back door, which is the Xuande Gate. Although it is the West Inner Garden after going out from here, if you go out through the Xing'an Gate, you are considered to be out of the palace.

The guard of Xing'an Gate was Chang He's subordinate, so he naturally pretended that he didn't see the prince and his party slipping out, but after letting them pass, he turned around and wrote a secret report, preparing to send it to the emperor.

Well, this is also a member of the Hundred Knights...

The snow is still falling, but it is much smaller. Most of the snow on the streets of Chang'an has been cleared away.Sentences such as sweeping the snow in front of the door by each family do not apply to the people of Chang'an. As long as the officials say hello, people with no missing arms or legs will spontaneously join the collective labor.

Along the way, we picked places with few people, just like a gang of thieves.

After finally arriving at Laojun Temple, the Taoist priest guarding the gate told her that the empress would come today, and that there would be a large army coming soon.

After kicking the Taoist priest away, Li Chengqian said: "I don't believe Yuan Tiangang if he is asked to come out. How dare he refuse Gu?"

As soon as he uttered the words, Yuan Tiangang appeared at the entrance of the Taoist temple. Seeing the prince in ordinary clothes, he said to the Taoist priest guarding the gate like a master: "Go to the side, no one has been here, remember!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Tiangang smiled and invited the prince in.

Walking into Laojun Temple, Li Chengqian snorted at Zhang Yun, and Zhang Yun took out a heavy money bag and handed it to Yuan Tiangang.

"This is a bit of incense money that this descendant of Gu dedicated to the ancestors. The Taoist priest has collected it. I came here today to meet someone. Remember to tell you the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple. There are some people and things that I have never seen. I know." ?”

Yuan Tiangang opened the purse a little bit, and seeing the bright yellow inside, he smiled like a hen laying eggs, and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the old Taoist will give orders, but when the time comes, there will be an army of Jin Wuwei guarding all the Taoist temples. Here, look..."

"Then find a hidden place for Gu, don't tell Gu that you don't have one here."

Yuan Tiangang laughed and said: "Yes! Those sergeants still dare not search the small yard of the veteran. At most, they just check it once. You just need to hide in the secret room of the veteran's room, and come out when someone leaves."

Li Chengqian nodded and asked Yuan Tiangang to lead the way.

Although Yuan Tiangang is regarded as the leader of the Taoist sect, the place he lives in is really not good, it looks very dilapidated.In the room, as long as the mechanism is turned on and the bookcase is opened, it will be a dark room.

Li Chengqian, who just felt that Yuan Tiangang's life was a bit miserable, took a deep breath when he walked into the dark room.

Hey, the gold, silver and jewelry here are packed in special boxes.

Only now did Li Chengqian remember that Lao Yuan's signature is fortune-telling and fortune-telling, and there is no shortage of nobles who believe in this. Asking him to count one's fate and marriage will definitely cost a lot of money!

Chapter 279 The Worth of This Punch

After all, not everyone can come and go with him like the royal family.

"Your Highness, the old Taoist will not lock the mechanism. When there is no movement in the room, you can just push the door and come out."

After speaking, Yuan Tiangang closed the door of the secret room.

As for so many jewels, there is no doubt that there will be no shortage of stars. Yuan Tiangang will doubt everyone about this, but he will not doubt the crown prince.

Although it is not enough to kick a few into the pocket, it is still good to see.

Asking the guards to sit on the box, Li Chengqian took a piece of gold casually, without moving it, dead heavy.

Clapping his hands, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It seems that being a Taoist priest is still making money. If you want to talk about it, I feel that my own is not bad. Tell me, or else I can become a monk and practice Taoism."

Chang He chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you still like these things? You must know that there are horse-drawn carriages pulling copper coins in and out of your East Palace every day, which is already the most common topic of discussion among our imperial guards."

Li Chengqian smiled, and casually pulled the string of pearls on a box aside, and sat on it.

Now, as a person in the forefront of Datang's income, he no longer has the mentality of drooling over gold and silver. The things in this room are just good-looking.

Not long after, heavy footsteps could be heard in the house.This is the fully armed Jinwu Guard soldiers inspecting every place of the Laojun Temple. The emperor and queen are serious enough when they go out. At least if Li Chengqian comes to the Laojun Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, it is impossible to achieve five steps and one soldier. The level of protection is one general in ten steps.

Finally, when the noise in the room ended, Li Chengqian poked Chang He, signaling him to go out first.

Chang He immediately turned bitter. Although Yuan Tiangang said that no one would guard his yard, what if?Although he is the commander of the Forbidden Army, there are still only a small number of people who can directly rule.Theoretically speaking, General Jinwuwei still wants to listen to him, but in fact, it is a serious crime for him to dare to give orders to General Jinwuwei.If there were still people around and he was hacked with a knife, who would he turn to for reasoning?Hades?

You must know that when the emperor and empress go out, they will be hacked to death if they encounter people with strange intentions.

Seeing Chang He's pitiful appearance, Li Chengqian could only tear off his cloak and go out in person.Although he is not wearing the prince's robe? But this face probably recognizes these people.

Pushing open the door of the darkroom, I scanned the room first? Sure enough, there was no one there.

He tiptoed to the window? Then he looked out, and sure enough, there was no one in the yard.

After a long sigh of relief, without going out, Li Chengqian handed a small red flag to Zhang Yun and said, "Put this flag at the gate of the yard? I hope Changle can find it here."
