The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Most of the time, as long as things are not excessive, His Majesty will turn a blind eye. After all, when the Tang Dynasty was in power, everyone contributed more or less." Empress Changsun looked at Princess Linhai with burning eyes: "Sister, you and your brother-in-law, we are all family, think about it carefully."

The meaning of Empress Changsun's words is already very clear.

If there is nothing wrong here, why would Pei, the brother-in-law, the son-in-law, go to Jingzhou for no reason?

Princess Linhai fell silent after hearing this.

She had guessed that there must be something going on here, and her husband was hiding it from her...

Thinking back to what she said last night, Princess Linhai realized that her husband had said so much, but he didn't tell her what he had done outside during this period.

Could it be that he really offended his second brother?

"Sister-in-law, my husband... I have been staying in the back house all day, and I don't know much about what is happening outside. Why did my husband go to Jingzhou?" Princess Linhai asked cautiously.

Empress Changsun sighed, with a deep look in her eyes.

"Sister, do you know about the locust plague some time ago?" Empress Changsun asked.

Princess Linhai nodded.

How could she not know about this? Even if she didn't know, she had seen it in the garden...

But her husband didn't participate in the locust plague.

Aren't the officials in the court taking the lead in killing the locusts?

"In the court, a series of measures have been formulated to help the people survive the locust plague, and they have been implemented one by one, which has saved the people's food in the fields." Empress Changsun said: "But just when the locust eradication was about to end, I don't know when it started, rumors started inside and outside Chang'an, targeting Your Majesty. As for the content of the rumors, you can go out and ask.

Spreading malicious rumors against Your Majesty is a capital crime with confiscation of property and extermination of the clan."

Princess Linhai was numb.

Could her husband be related to this matter?

Is there something wrong with his brain?

Why get involved in such things?

"Although Your Majesty has ascended the throne for two years, there are still many old ministers of Wude in the court who are dissatisfied with the court's new policies."

Empress Changsun said calmly.

Well, now Linhai knows.

It seems that her father-in-law is also related to this.

"The reason why I said that it is not a bad thing for the son-in-law to leave Chang'an City and go to Jingzhou for training is that I think it is better to avoid Chang'an." Empress Changsun said: "Although Jingzhou is not as good as Chang'an, you will not have a hard time there. After all, the son-in-law is not demoted, but just an official there. In Chang'an City, the Pei family will not help you at all."

This matter is already set in stone, and Empress Changsun will not speak for the young couple.

How could she refute the will of her husband for the sake of Princess Linhai, the sister of the emperor?

How can the emperor change his orders every day?

Moreover, what the Pei family did this time was really too much.

For the sake of the emperor, His Majesty has been very tolerant of Pei Ji.

Otherwise, the Pei family will really end up with the confiscation of their property and the extermination of their clan.

This time, it was considered a small let-off for the Pei family. If there is a next time, I am afraid that this account will be settled together.

Princess Lin'an left Lizheng Hall in a daze.

She didn't even know how she got back to the Pei family. She kept thinking about what Empress Changsun said in the carriage.

If this is true, then her husband and father-in-law are really too bold.

Afternoon, Da'an Palace.

Li Yuan was reading. There was another desk next to his desk. Li Chengqian sat there and carefully sorted out some manuscripts he brought back from Jingyang County.

While sorting out the words Li Fu said to him, he was also thinking about it while recalling it. He was sitting there at a young age, serious and earnest.

Nowadays, the teachers in the Eastern Palace don't teach Li Chengqian as much as before, leaving him a lot of time.

When Li Shimin was free, it was Li Shimin who took Li Chengqian and taught him personally.

When Li Shimin was dealing with some things and had no time, Li Chengqian would come to Da'an Palace, following Li Yuan and listening to his teachings, and accompanying his elderly grandfather.

Li Yuan occasionally looked up and looked at his beloved grandson, with a kind and gentle smile on his face.

This child is good...

Li Yuan looked at the little Li Chengqian and couldn't help but think of his youth. At that time, Erlang was also this age, lively and cheerful.Active, while Dalang, who is older than Erlang, is already a young man full of vigor and vitality.

In the blink of an eye, he has reached this age. Time will not let anyone go, even the emperor.

Unconsciously, Li Yuan looked at Li Chengqian seriously for a long time.

Li Chengqian was still seriously immersed in his own thoughts, and did not notice that the old man was looking at him.

And Li Yuan saw that Li Chengqian was always like this, and was also curious, what was he writing?

Li Yuan stood up and slowly came to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian heard the movement, and then he looked up at his old man.

"Old man?" Li Chengqian was puzzled.

"You are so serious, you have been writing things, show it to the old man?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Yes." Li Chengqian smiled and responded, showing Li Yuan the homework he had sorted out.

"Aunt, this is something I learned when I was at Uncle Wang's farm in Jingyang County. It's about dealing with locust plagues. Before the locust plague, I wrote a homework assignment about it. But after the plague, the court tried to deal with it, and the farm actually did it. Later, I felt that the previous homework had many shortcomings.

It happened that Uncle Wang asked me to write down my feelings when I came back this time, so I reorganized it. I didn't think of it before, but it actually happened, and I wrote down what I applied in the process of dealing with it."

Li Chengqian looked serious and explained his homework to Li Yuan, including how he thought before, how naive his ideas were, and how difficult it was to deal with the locust plague and change the people's thinking.

The more Li Yuan listened, the more pleased and proud he was.

My grandson is really excellent!

The smile on Li Yuan's face never disappeared.

It was not just Li Chengqian who had this feeling. After listening to Li Chengqian's explanation of the course, Li Yuan also had many insights and feelings.
