Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"Ha~ah..." Li Kuan sat in a carriage and left the center of the storm. Little did he know that at this time he had become a favorite in the eyes of some people.

"Go Jiang, how long does it take to arrive at the Imperial Mansion that the Queen Mother mentioned?" His Highness, who was not very patient, crossed his legs and stretched his body in the carriage in a posture similar to that of a noble concubine.

"Your Highness, please be patient." Jiang Qu sat on the carriage shaft and drove the carriage carefully to avoid passing pedestrians: "I expect that I will arrive after leaving the city in a while and driving for about an hour or two."

"Hmm..." Li Kuan responded with some interest, and then he simply chose to lie down and relax: "I'll take a nap. Call me when you get there."

"Huan, Lao Nu knows." Jiang Qu smiled and nodded.

When there was no movement in the carriage, the smile on Jiang Qu's face faded slightly, and a touch of sadness crept up between his eyebrows.

He was different from other eunuchs in the palace.

At that time, Jiang Qu was originally a retainer of the Li family, but later he was injured on the battlefield, so he returned to Longyou and became Empress Taimu's personal guard.

Later, Empress Taimu placed him next to Li Kuan and became a dead soldier in a certain sense. However, on the surface, he borrowed Li Er's hand and naturally became a regular companion around Li Kuan. Attendant.

In fact, like Dou Shilun, Jiang Qu also couldn't figure out why his highness would get involved in these troubles.

Due to emotions and reasons, these are not things that a prince like Li Kuan should consider about how to resist the locust plague.

Of course, it doesn't matter if things go wrong later, or even better, maybe the Second Highness will calm down.

But I'm afraid that he will take care of things in the end...

The trees are beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy them...

Jiang Qu's sorrow unknowingly turned into two cracks of whip on the horse in front of him.

"Crack! Crack!"

"Xilulu!" The strong horse neighed loudly, and then began to run wildly. Ignoring the scattered crowd, it pulled the carriage and drove quickly towards the city gate.

"Jiang Qu, you're going to die!" Li Kuan, who was awakened by a "tremor of the earth and the mountains", held his slightly bluish forehead and tried to sit up straight again.

"Your Highness, this horse has been living in the palace for a long time. He hasn't seen so many living people for a long time, and he suddenly became excited." Jiang Qu blushed and started to tell lies.

"Find a way to slow down!" Li Kuan, who was rubbing his forehead lightly, said angrily when he heard this.

"Yes! I will find a way now..."

-------------------------------------

Just when Jiang Qu tried his best to restore stability to the carriage and slowly drove out of Chang'an City, inside the palace, above the main hall, Wei Zheng, the most powerful person in charge during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, was at full power.

I saw him standing still after leaving work, holding the wat board, glaring angrily at the calm Dou Shilun beside him, then he turned his head and bowed slightly, facing the restless Li Shimin on the dragon chair and said angrily: "Your Majesty! I, Wei Zheng, joined Lingyang County Duke Dou Shilun. He has no regard for the rules and regulations of the court, and acts wantonly. In order to prevent me from stopping His Highness, the Second Prince, who is playing truant today, I want to fight with you..."

Before Wei Zheng could finish what he said, Li Er, who had come to his senses on the dragon chair, had a completely dark face: "You said that guy skipped class again today?"

Li Er really couldn't stand it anymore. He was still thinking about what his eldest grandson said to him last night: "Kuan'er is young, but he is kind and filial. When he heard that His Majesty had a headache due to the locust plague, the child wanted to share His Majesty's worries. So he came to find me, hoping that I could help him, and I agreed..."

Li Er, who was immersed in the gentle country, did not remember until today's morning court meeting that he had not asked the queen what he had agreed to when she fell to the ground.

As a result, good guy, this time he went to court, he encountered someone who complained.

The filial son who wanted to share his worries skipped school again today, and Dou Shilun, a usually good old man, also got involved inexplicably.

Looking at the conspicuous Bao Wei Zheng below who was still impassioned.

Li Er took a deep breath and felt that his head was going to explode.

"...Please let your Majesty make your decision!"

After Li Er came to his senses, Wei Zheng had finished his righteous speech.

Now, Dou Shilun, who was standing next to him, had been labeled as a sycophant by this person, and a certain prince who had left the city had become a piece of rotten wood that "cannot be carved."

"What's the decision?" Li Er waited for Wei Zheng to vent his anger, and then he calmly continued to heat up: "This kid has been skipping school for more than a day or two. What can I do to him? Beat him up? Do you believe it? If you don’t believe that I beat him with my front foot, he dared to go to Hongyi Palace to cry to the Supreme Emperor. When it’s over, he might have to go to Xianling (the mausoleum of Empress Taimu) again, and then he will have to file a lawsuit with the Empress. shape."

When Li Er said this, he suddenly sighed again: "I am also a person who wants to save face. Do you hope that thousands of years later, future generations will read the "Notes on the Daily Life of the Emperor" written by me and the Supreme Emperor, and all the records in it will be about this Zhuzi? Naughty behavior?"

It has to be said that when Li Er played the tragedy card, the ministers were unable to resist.

What's more, after listening to Li Er's explanation, everyone sympathized more with their Majesty.

My family is unfortunate...

Meeting such a troublesome second prince, His Majesty's life will not be easy...

"Your Majesty..." Wei Zheng didn't know what to say when he heard Li Er's words.

He didn't expect that the second prince, who he had only met a few times, was actually the best in the world. This kind of skill in playing tricks was like a natural talent. Even Cheng Yaojin, who was famous in the court, seemed to have no talent. I can't even catch up with him.

The future life is terrible...

"Okay! Let's not talk about this." Li Er exposed his shortcomings in order to prevent the ministers from continuing to struggle with such meaningless matters. Even if his son is naughty, the father does not intend to let outsiders help teach him.

Just go back and get a headache.

"About the locust plague..." Li Er's eyes swept across the hall, and the ministers lowered their heads: "I have sent Wuji to Shandong to raise food, but now the situation is serious. I am worried that water from far away cannot quench the thirst nearby, so I will wait for the needs. We should try our best to persuade the people in Guanzhong to harvest their crops earlier this year, otherwise the locust plague will come and there will be no harvest this year..."

Li Er stated the decision he had previously discussed with Fang Xuanling and others in front of all the officials, but very few people responded.

After all, everyone knows in their hearts that raising food is a matter for the imperial court. Although this is difficult to handle, at least there are regulations in place, so it may not be impossible to do it.

The people under the rule can be encouraged to harvest food.

How can I put it, even if everyone is fighting for their official status and forcing the people to collect grain in advance, when the local well-respected village elders come to sit on the floor in front of the government office, your high and powerful position will not be enough. used.

The Tang Dynasty founded the country on the basis of filial piety. Tang law stipulates that after a certain age, the elderly can enjoy immunity: the first class is over 70 years old, and those who are convicted of crimes are not more than exiled, and are allowed to be redeemed; the second class is those who are over 80 years old, and those who are convicted of crimes are allowed to be redeemed. Those who rebelled, rebelled, or committed murder were subject to the emperor's decision; the third class was over ninety years old, and they did not need to bear criminal responsibility even if they committed capital crimes.

So, if you are a local official, and there happens to be an old man over ninety years old under your rule, then I’m sorry, your uncle (your aunt) or your uncle (aunt): as long as you don’t do human affairs, others can He swaggers into your office and spits on your face, but you don't dare to say anything.

Even those officials in the six yamen who don't have to go anywhere may not break into the yamen where you work, but when they come to sit in your house, do you dare not sweep the couch to greet them?

The ending is still the same!

Therefore, as soon as Li Er said this, everyone responded with a strange silence.

Everyone knows how difficult this is.

"Your Majesty," Fang Xuanling glanced at Pei Ji, the leader of the civil service team, who had been serving as a clay carving and wood sculpture. Then he took the initiative and took over Li Er's words: "I recommended myself and asked to be transferred to the Sinong Temple of the Ministry of Household Affairs to take charge. The locust plague."

At critical moments, our own people still played a huge role.

Li Er took a deep look at Pei Ji, who was still there, and said with a hint of anger in his tone: "Yes!"

I don't know why, but in just a moment, a huge anger rose from Li Er's heart.

He looked at the ministers in the palace and suddenly felt that his mischievous Zhuzi seemed to be far more pleasing to the eye than everyone in front of him.

But, what is this Zhuzi doing now?

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, could not help but turn his eyes from the ministers to the outside of the palace. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the emperor who was originally worried about state affairs suddenly thought about his second son who had never been very well-behaved and sensible for no reason...
