Don't be a prince

It seems natural for an emperor to dispatch his soldiers.But there was no foreign war, and the local troops were wasted to protect the empress and prince. For the courtiers, at this stage, it was a mistake made by the emperor.The emperor who did this despite being admonished was still very concerned about the empress and her party.

Human beings are actually very strange. Great virtuous monks may have been blood-handed butchers in the past, and treacherous villains may have been great benevolent people in the past.There are even some people who can show the effect of Tai Chi and Liangyi by showing the inconsistency between the outside and the inside.Although the emperor acted like a heartless person in dealing with the queen, his affection for the queen was still very deep.Very contradictory, but very realistic, very...human.

After a long sigh of relief, the eldest grandson poked a big fish in the fish basket with a reed stick, and said to Ziyan: "Take this fish to the kitchen and ask the cook to clean it up. I will cook myself later."

Ziyan picked up the fish basket in surprise, seeing that the queen didn't look like she was joking, and seeing the prince nodding, she hurried to the kitchen.

"Mother, can you cook?"

It was only after I said the words that I realized that it was very rude.

The eldest grandson smiled, changed the reed pole in his hand, twitched Li Chengqian's back and said, "Do you think that the mother and I are the eldest daughter of the official family who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers? Back then, your uncle and I were respected by the eldest grandson. When he was driven out and had nowhere to go, your uncle went to labor on the docks in Luoyang. He was exhausted every day, but it was enough to feed the two of us. Now everyone knows that the head of the Changsun family is Changsun Wuji, The majestic Hubu Shangshu, who would have thought that the dignified Zhao Guogong would also work hard for food and clothing?

When your mother and I were young, I was ugly, but your uncle still did not abandon me, but dragged me to live with his small shoulders.Later, if your uncle was not kind enough to take us to Gaofu, there would be no Duke Zhao, no queen.At that time, when I was trying to survive, your mother and I would cook at home, and occasionally help the neighbors to make some female celebrities, in exchange for half a bowl of rice at most.

The feelings brought about by sharing hardships are profound, so, I also like elder brother very much. Your father and uncle became good friends, which is the happiest thing for the queen mother.Now that the two of them have turned from friends to enemies, you said that even if my mother and I are not splinted, can I still feel better? "

Seeing his eldest grandson's face full of reminiscence and tears in his eyes, Li Chengqian became more convinced of his "contradiction theorem".This is indeed the case. In history, Changsun Wuji was considered a relatively sinister person, with mixed reviews, but he has to admit that he has a good side.

After a long sigh, the eldest grandson wanted to stand up, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who was eavesdropping, hurried over to help her.Although the painting boat can be regarded as a collection of the wisdom of the craftsmen of the Engineering College, it is still a bit bumpy in the face of the unstable river. Now that the eldest grandson is pregnant, although the situation forces him to come out, he still needs to take care of it.

The eldest grandson especially enjoyed the concern for the sons, and the unhappiness that had just arisen disappeared immediately, and he entered the galley on the ship with a smile.

The queen wanted to cook, but the cook could only stand aside fearfully, for fear of getting burned.Li Chengqian and Li Tai were also extremely anxious, but the eldest grandson didn't take it seriously.

Kunlun purple melon and tofu stewed the fish together. Picking up a large kitchen knife, the eldest grandson chopped open the grass carp without any kneading. Just as he was about to put it into the pot, he saw that the gills of the fish had not been cleaned, so he picked it up and pulled it out. He didn't mind at all.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian gave her eldest grandson a thumbs up. It seems that her reminiscence of "hard life" is by no means nonsense, but true.

The fish was in the pot, and the eldest grandson used a lot of determination to pick out some spices and put them in.

Datang lacks spices, and many famous spices are actually imported products that have not yet taken root in Datang.Merchants who have traveled to the Western Regions these years, as long as they deal in spices, as long as they don't die, they all become rich.And like Li Chengqian, who did not lead the team himself, but entrusted it to others, he became even more powerful.

Sitting on the brocade pier that Li Tai moved, the eldest grandson said with a smile: "Don't look at my mother, I have a lot of bloated waist now. When your father and emperor went to war, I also served in the army before you were born in Chengqian. Tell me You may not believe it, but I have cooked all the big pots of rice in the army."

This incident is indeed quite surprising. As far as Li Chengqian knows, the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty is very strict. Prisoner-of-war camps, generals and the like, if they want one or two, they will generally not leave the prisoner-of-war camp, and they will even kill them after they are used up.No one dared to take the risk of leaking the military aircraft, and those who did so were only a small number of people.

However, when the queen's old lady joined the army, it should be before Wude.Thinking of this, Li Chengqian was relieved.

The fish meat is actually very well cooked. After a short time, the pot is steaming and the aroma is released.

The eldest grandson wanted to do something, how dare the cook, he hurried over to pick up the hot pot and put the vegetables in the iron basin.

After bringing the dish to a table with a magnet, and taking out two pieces of rice (rice + millet), the cook bowed and stepped back.

As usual, the part of drug testing is indispensable. Although I am very tired of this kind of thing, but now that the eldest grandson is here, Li Chengqian does not dare to take risks, so he can only let Zhang Yun test the drug.

After Zhang Yun had a sip of soup and rice with chopsticks, the eldest grandson drove Zhang Yun away without Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

Although Yan Wan kept it, she didn't sit down, but distributed the tableware and picked fishbone for her eldest grandson to serve.

Holding Yan Wan's hand, the eldest grandson said with a smile: "This palace is not enough to be taken care of by others, you can sit down too, we are not in the palace, so we don't need to observe the rules of the palace."

While talking, Xiuxiu also walked into the kitchen. She wanted to serve Li Chengqian for dinner, but she was also dragged down by her eldest grandson.

As far as being a "mother-in-law" is concerned, the eldest grandson is very good, but she herself has no need to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. You can tell from Yan Wan's appearance. All women in the world have no respect for the eldest grandson, the queen.

I have to say that the taste of the fish cooked by Changsun is very good, but there is no sauerkraut, so the taste of sauerkraut fish cannot be reproduced, which is a pity.Datang’s cabbage grows very small, and the largest one is only as big as a palm, which is only suitable for dipping in sauce.

"The queen mother's craftsmanship is really nothing to say, the cooks in the palace should be tied up and thrown out."

Li Tai never let go of the opportunity to say good things, and made Li Chengqian on the side slander endlessly. The chef of Wei Wangfu is the direct descendant of the cook of the Eastern Palace, and he is proficient in various dishes.

"It's really delicious. Why don't the queen mother cook for us and my brother during the next journey?"

For Li Chengqian's words, the eldest grandson was naturally happy to agree.Women are naturally more than willing to cook, of course.The premise is that the object of cooking is your husband or child.In the way of cooking, you can reap a lot of happiness.

Harem - Hall of Two Instruments

Compared with the joyful boat at this time, the emperor in the Hall of Liangyi at this time can be called miserable.

The two sides in front of the imperial case were full of imperial doctors kneeling, each of them put their heads on the ground, sweating through the carpet.

It was Sun Simiao who was giving the emperor's pulse now, and it was also because of Sun Simiao that these imperial doctors did not faint.

At this moment, Li Shimin was panting violently, his eyes were red, and there was a blister on his lips.It's just this appearance that frightened all the officials to death this morning.Very considerately begged the emperor to rest for a few days and stop being busy with political affairs.

Only a short time after the pulse signal, Sun Simiao took his hand away and said to the emperor: "The imperial doctor's diagnosis is not wrong. You, it is simply a rise of internal fire, which needs to be cleared away and relieved. In addition, the liver fire is strong, and it is probably your fault." The reason for getting angry. In addition, excessive worry can sometimes cause such symptoms. From the perspective of the old Taoist, you are missing the queen, which belongs to lovesickness. It’s okay to think about the queen, and think less about the queen. That's it."

Sun Simiao was probably the only one who dared to categorically persuade the emperor to think less of the queen.

He waved away the imperial doctors who had received amnesty, and Li Shimin said helplessly: "Now you are the only one who is willing to speak out about my fault, what happened to the queen and the prince now? I was wrong, just tell me directly, why? Do you have to go?"

Although Sun Simiao knew that his status was special, he didn't want to listen to the emperor's thoughts, so he could only take out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and said, "Your Majesty must not have had a rest these few days. The old man has read all the medical books, and he can't take a break." I asked His Royal Highness the opinion of the Crown Prince and tried many times. Although I didn’t find out what I wanted, I came up with this kind of medicine to help sleep. If you feel depressed, you might as well drink some medicine and sleep for a while, and you will be relieved gone."

Li Shimin nodded, stopped Li Jian who wanted to test the medicine, opened the bottle without hesitation, and poured the pills into his mouth.

"After taking the medicine, just lie down and rest for a while, and you can fall asleep."

Seeing that Li Jian was hesitant to speak, Sun Simiao said again: "The poor Taoist will rest in the next hall, and leave after His Majesty is asleep."

Instructing Li Jian to send Sun Simiao away, Li Shimin sighed and lay down on the bed without taking off his shoes and clothes. This is the queen's bed. Because of its heavy weight, he was not taken away. Something that is tainted with the breath of the eldest grandson.

Recalling the love and affection between husband and wife, and thinking about what happened to him in the past few days, Li Shimin couldn't help feeling sad.

It's so sad to live without a queen, it's so hard to sleep!

It's so sad to live without a prince, my mother-in-law has to scratch her head for the business memorial every day!

Chapter 332 Accident....

The resentment is powerful, the emperor's resentment traveled across hundreds of rivers and mountains, and was fulfilled on the eldest grandson Li Chengqian. The mother and daughter who had just stepped out of the cabin sneezed in unison.

"Queen, brother, you two should go back first. It's already afternoon and the weather is turning cold. Once you catch the wind and cold, it will be bad."

Seeing Li Tai's nervousness, the eldest grandson smiled slightly, patted Li Tai's belly and said, "Your physique has been the worst in our family since we were young, and you often suffer from wind and cold. Who else is in poor health? There is not much difference in temperature now. , it's all right."

Li Chengqian also laughed, put his ear on Li Tai's belly and said: "Qingque, if you gain weight, you will give birth soon. Listen to my brother, walk around more along the way, and lose your body fat." .”

Li Tai rubbed his belly worriedly, and said helplessly: "I thought about it too, but fat can't be reduced in a day or two. At the beginning, I had to lose sleep because of studying some things, but Once the matter is over, the fat will still grow, which is annoying."

Regarding Li Tai's complaints, Li Chengqian could only pat him on the shoulder as comfort.The two are obviously brothers of the same mother, but one doesn't get fat no matter how much they eat, and the other gains weight after drinking cold water.Physique is something that cannot be justified.

There was also plenty of sunshine in the afternoon, so the eldest grandson actually started fishing this time.After learning the lesson from the morning, Li Tai changed his mind and started fishing quietly, and it didn't take long for him to get off to a good start.Don't look at Li Tai's self-righteousness, but in fact, although he won't show it, he is still very humbly accepting advice.

Yan Wan also likes fishing very much, so she moved a small bench and sat next to Li Tai, admiring her husband's fishing skills.After a while, Xiuxiu also came out of the cabin and sat on the right side of Li Chengqian as an audience.

After a while, Ashina Xue also came out.The sons and daughters of the grassland are proficient in everything, riding a horse, archery and roasting a whole sheep, but taking a boat is a bit unbearable.Although he can stand upright, he still needs to sleep after a whole night. Now that he wakes up, he will come out to look for the prince after eating something.

When Su Yuan woke up from sleep and had nowhere to go, the eldest grandson beckoned for Su Yuan to go to her.Su Yuan shook her head, and threw herself directly behind Li Chengqian, pressing on Li Chengqian's back.This is very impolite, it is equivalent to a woman dominating her husband, but Li Chengqian never cared about it, the eldest grandson just frowned and then felt relieved.

For the first time, Li Chengqian felt that having too many women was a troublesome thing. He was blocked by people on both sides, and he couldn't even bend his body, and there was one lying on his back. Comfortable.The point is, you can't say it yet, it will ruin the scenery if you say it.Man, it's so hard.

Fortunately, God also felt that men were difficult, and soon the fishing rod started to move, and the movement was very violent, which meant that the big fish had taken the bait.Su Yuan yelled and stood up, helping Li Chengqian to take up the line together.Even though an eccentric wheel was installed, it still couldn't hold the fish, it was pulled hard, and the strength of both of them was a bit insufficient.Xiuxiu wanted to join hands, but Li Chengqian refused.

The three pro-leading soldiers with winking eyes rushed over immediately, took the fishing rod from His Royal Highness, and began to stand in a stalemate with the fish.

"Quickly, don't let it get away!"

It was rare to see such a scene, and the eldest grandson clapped his hands repeatedly, smiling very happily.

Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian immediately felt that his decision was extremely wise.It's so hard to stay in the palace, but now when he comes out, the eldest grandson spends a lot of time laughing.Happiness is the only good medicine without side effects.

Not all things in the world can be smooth sailing, even with the pull of the soldiers, the fish is finally unhooked, which disappointed everyone.However, this was not the case for Li Tai. He unabashedly showed a gloating expression, which made Li Chengqian want to slap him very much.

A happy day soon came to an end with nightfall, and the boats at night were still brightly lit. Those who slept all day during the day began to be on night shift, and those who were tired from playing during the day rested.

Early the next morning, the boat, which had been parked for a day and two nights, set off again, heading east along the Luoshui River.

The team's next stop was Zhengzhou. After all, Zhengzhou was still the fiefdom of the old Weitou. I heard that the old Weitou had only just wandered around Zhengzhou, and he might meet this guy again.Thinking of the edict that risked beheading his head, Li Chengqian was very grateful to Wei Zheng.If it was just a simple escape, the emperor had a hundred ways to chase him back, but Li Chengqian couldn't even think of ten ways to deal with it.

Well now, with this edict, for the sake of face, the emperor can't turn his face easily, but he is a little sorry for Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, these two people are taking great risks.

At this moment, Li Chengqian still didn't know that Fang Xuanling, who was far away in Chang'an, had already shirked all his responsibilities, and lost the favor of Donggong and Wei Zheng in vain.

Seasickness is an unsolvable problem. Although Su Yuan vomited twice, but thinking of his eldest grandson, Li Chengqian could only resolutely continue to take the boat.Compared with taking a boat, riding in a carriage is much more bumpy. Now that the eldest grandson is not pregnant until the day when she is pregnant, it is actually quite dangerous.I almost forgot the little knowledge about gynecology that I read in my previous life. It seems that the first few months were more dangerous, so Li Chengqian did not dare to slack off at all.

"It's good to continue on the boat. The queen mother is the most important thing. The concubine is just a little dizzy, and the more I breathe, the more I feel. I know that you love the concubine. Let us be young and bear it. It is our duty to be filial to the elders." .”

Holding Su Yuan in his arms, Li Chengqian felt warm in his heart.If a daughter-in-law is like this, what more can a husband ask for!

Turned over from the bed, poured a cup of tea to drink, and handed another cup to Su Yuan: "Just keep at it. When we get to Zhengzhou, let's rest for a while, and then change to the land route for a while before changing to the water route."

In any case, you can’t take a boat all the time. There are not one or two people who get seasick, but almost all of them are native Guanzhong people. It’s impossible to get used to taking a boat so quickly.

The plan of sailing has been changed, usually one day forward, then one day and two nights of rest, and then one day forward.Thanks to this arrangement, there were a lot of seasickness on board, but none serious.However, the eldest grandson, who was supposed to be the most caring, did not have anything wrong, but became more energetic, and it was impossible to tell that he was pregnant with a child.

After coming out of Chang'an, I didn't pay attention to the time. When I arrived in Zhengzhou, the weather had passed the hot period.

The emperor's order was announced to the world, and those who received the order were ready to fight.Although the emperor must not slack off, local officials value the combination of the prince and queen more.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the weak and weak Crown Prince of the past dynasties. According to reliable sources, the current Crown Prince not only participates in politics, but also has a say in the court to a large extent.Make a good impression on the prince, take a step back, and after the prince ascends the throne, you can also get benefits!

Because of this, as long as it is the place where Li Chengqian arrives, the local governor and the like will send enough soldiers to protect it, and the local government will also prepare supplies in advance. Sufficient materials are still high-quality goods.

It's the same now in Zhengzhou. The governor of Zhengzhou is Wei Yanyan, and it has nothing to do with Wei Zheng's half a dime. The same surname is just a pure coincidence.Duan Xiao, the governor of Zhengzhou, prepared enough troops around the river, until the boat stopped, there was no lack of protection around it.

A comfortable carriage had already parked on the shore, Wei Yanyan and Duan Xiao were waiting on the shore, and Li Chengqian was already flattered before he got off the boat.

The first one to disembark was the Sky-Changing Monkey, who was still alive and well after a night of sleepless nights.As a leading general, the first thing he did after getting off the boat was to stand beside Duan Xiao, and put one hand directly on the horizontal knife by his waist.

Duan Xiao knew that his neck was under this horizontal knife for the past few days, but he didn't care about it. Generals, he knew the rules of generals very well. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but it became more natural .

Going to the sky, the monkey arched his hands, and Duan Xiao reported: "Commander, Zhengzhou dispatched six thousand government soldiers, which are now distributed on both sides of the river and along the state capital. Zhengzhou's palace is dilapidated, so we arranged for the empress and prince to stay in a different place." The courtyard, the decoration is not bad, the surrounding houses have been requisitioned, so you can move in directly.”

At this time, Chang Tianhou's official position was equivalent to that of the commander of the imperial army, and his rank could not be judged. Even if he was the governor, he had to be honest and obedient.

Changtian Monkey nodded, and then waved to the boat.

Soon, he personally led the soldiers to disembark and surrounded the first boat. Li Tai and Li Chengqian supported the eldest grandson to get off the boat.

After sending Li Tai and the eldest grandson to the car, half of them personally led the local government soldiers and sent them to Zhengzhou Prefecture, Li Chengqian walked in front of Duan Xiao and Wei Yanyan.

After saluting, Wei Yanyan said: "It's a great honor to be able to see Your Highness's beautiful face! Zhengzhou is also considered a big city in Tongzhou. It is an honor for Zhengzhou to be reviewed by His Highness. I hope His Highness will give you more advice, so as to improve the people's livelihood in Zhengzhou." .”

I have long heard of His Royal Highness's method of turning stones into gold, now if I don't seize the opportunity to ask for advice, when will I wait?

Looking around and seeing no sign of Wei Zheng, Li Chengqian asked in confusion, "Where is Mr. Zheng? Didn't Mr. Zheng just happen to be in Zhengzhou for inspection at this time?"

Wei Yanyan hurriedly said: "Duke Zheng is indeed there, but he just happened to be infected with the cold and has not recovered yet. I am afraid that the adoptive son will be passed on to His Highness or Empress. Then there will be no redemption. Zheng Gong asked the next official to confess to His Highness, and wait for the illness to recover. In the future, I will personally go to His Highness's residence to make amends."

Wei Zheng is sick?Li Chengqian was taken aback.

"Since I'm sick, it's better to recuperate with peace of mind. There is a direct disciple of Miracle Doctor Sun on board, so ask him to take a look."

Wei Yanyan bowed and saluted, as a thank you for Wei Zheng.

Turning to Duan Xiao's side, Li Chengqian said helplessly: "Although the father has an order, it is really wrong to dispatch so many soldiers just for protection. There is also a bank in Zhengzhou, go to them to withdraw some money from the orphan's account, Give it to the soldiers."

Duan Xiao smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Because he was going to rest in Zhengzhou for a period of time, Li Chengqian didn't mind spending some money to make Zhengzhou's soldiers happy and to do their best in defense.

After getting on the horse, he reined in the horse all the way to the state capital. When he got close to the city gate, he saw merchants on both sides of the road who were inexplicably excited.

Duan Xiao frowned, and was about to reprimand him, but was stopped by Li Chengqian.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers blocking the way retreated to the side and released all the merchants.

Excitedly running over but not getting too close, the merchants bowed their hands and saluted from a distance, shouting: "Your Highness, we have prepared a banquet for His Highness, and if His Highness is willing, please do me a favor to attend."

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, but the banquet I attended alone can be said to be accompanied by swords, lights and swords, you don't mind!"

All the merchants nodded one after another, and it was a decision they made after a long discussion to invite the prince to dinner.There are only four people in the world who should not be invited to dinner: the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince.It can be said that if you ask for a meal, you have to put your head under the guillotine once.However, if you can take this opportunity to show your face in front of the prince, how can you participate in the revision of business laws?

Now that the crown prince presided over the news of revising the business law, it has been completely announced to the world. All the eagerly awaited merchants are extremely excited and looking forward to it.The imperial court is now promoting the development of commerce, which was initiated by the prince, and the prince's handling of business in many places is impressive. It can be said that His Royal Highness is proficient in this way.

But even if you are proficient, you will be worried if you can't participate. Now it seems that the prince obviously has no intention of being a dictator, and he is still willing to listen to the voices of their merchants. Thinking of this, all the merchants are heartbroken.

Therefore, when Li Chengqian urged his horse to move forward, he was surrounded by his own soldiers, the inner circle was surrounded by sergeants, and the fanatical merchants became the outermost circle.

Li Chengqian, who really couldn't think of any danger, could only accept the kindness of these merchants.

After entering Zhengzhou City, there is a courtyard not far away, and now the surrounding courtyard is crowded with people watching the excitement.

Queen!Prince!Ordinary people have never had the chance to see it in their life, especially the people outside Chang'an, members of the royal family, have always lived in their imaginations.Now I finally had a chance to take a look. Although I was afraid of the fierce sergeant, I couldn't help but look around curiously.

At this time, waving hands, or giving a speech on the spot is definitely a good choice, but...

Shame!

Li Chengqian entered the other courtyard without hesitation, ready to rest.Unless you are a person who is used to the wobbly boat, even if you don't get seasick, it will never be uncomfortable.

After waking up, it was already afternoon. Looking at the dusk outside, he carefully opened Su Yuan's arm. Li Chengqian stood up, stretched, and yawned, feeling extremely refreshed.So the thing about yawning is really strange. When you are sleepy, the more you yawn, the more uncomfortable you will be, but when you wake up from sleep, you will feel very refreshed.

Zhang Yun's shadow appeared at the door, and he whispered, "Your Highness, Wei Yanyan is waiting in the middle hall right now. The outside of the courtyard is full of merchants, and they all want to invite you to the banquet tonight."
