Sure enough, after arriving and staying at Xiao Mansion, although Xiao Rui didn't say he was happy, he could see joy in his eyes. Princess Xiangcheng also followed Princess Changle's advice and treated the servants of the Xiao family very kindly and generously. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Xiao Rui spends half of every month in Princess Xiangcheng's main room, lives in the study for seven days, and spends the remaining days in the two common rooms. Especially Princess Xiangcheng mustered up the courage and put on the translucent "qiquneiyi". She was too embarrassed to wear red or purple, so she found a plain black one. Don¡¯t you know that black is even more charming under the candlelight at night? " Xiao Rui is also a young man. He is full of energy and almost has a nosebleed. It is even more intense at night. When morning comes, he can't get out of bed and oversleeps. Three months after these days, Princess Xiangcheng became pregnant, which made everyone in the Xiao family very happy, especially Xiao Yu, whose white beard was bristling with joy. Last time the palace came, Xiao Yu also gave a lot. Even the former Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty, who lived in the Xiao family, also sent two sets of jewelry when she heard that the Xiao family had a daughter-in-law. Only then did Princess Xiangcheng realize how correct her sister's words were. From then on, he lived in the Xiao family for a long time. Changsun Chong stayed behind closed doors all day long, accompanying Princess Changle, and writing books with Liu Muxiang. Apart from disappearing for a few days a month, there was nothing unusual about her. Seeing that the prince was about to get married, Changsun Chong got some good things and gave them to Li Chengqian. After Li Chengqian¡¯s wedding, he was fully qualified to discuss matters at court. It¡¯s not like before where you could only sit on the court and make telegraph poles, where you could only listen but not speak. Now you can put forward your own opinions on anyone, including Li Er's words. After Li Chengqian fell from a horse and went through a difficult rehabilitation process, he became stronger. However, the meeting was held immediately, and I felt unsure. "Why are you free today?" Changsun Chong raised his eyes and asked. As soon as Li Chengqian arrived, he started to compete with others. Li Chengqian lay on the big pillow on the couch and said, "Can't I come to see Changle?" Changsun Chong heard this and said, "Okay, of course, but you won't come early or late. You have to be the first person today." After the first day of court meeting, you came here in the afternoon. "Haha, cousin, you don't know how nervous I am today," Li Chengqian said with emotion as he threw a strawberry into his mouth. "Hey, isn't it just to go to court? Didn't you often go to court before?" Changsun Chong asked. I don¡¯t see you being nervous at all. You are energetic and high-spirited every day. "I stood at the front of the ministers, right under my father's nose. How could I dare to be careless? Fortunately, all I had to do was keep my eyes wide open at that time and there was no need to speak. As for whether they listened or not, others didn't know. But. Not anymore. Every time the ministers ask questions, my father wants me to answer them. I sweated five or six times this morning alone. "Li Chengqian said with a grimace. What a miserable day. "Haha!" Changsun Chong smiled innocently. When they went to court, they often slept against the pillars. At that time, Li Chengqian was envious and jealous. "Cousin, please think of something for me. How can you face your father and the court officials calmly?" Li Chengqian felt burdened, worried that what he said was not good and that the court officials and his father would look down upon him. Changsun Chong put down the book in his hand and said, "Then your Majesty asked you to comment, after the ministers discuss it, or before the discussion?" "It's all after the discussion!" Li Chengqian replied. When Changsun Chong heard this, he said with disdain: "It's all after the court meeting. You are so scared! If you think the suggestion is good, agree with it and give the reason; if you disagree, if you don't agree, you also give the reason. It's ambiguous. , just say you are not sure. If you know it, you know it. If you don¡¯t know it, you have to pretend to understand it. " "Hey, cousin, it would be nice if you were here. I can't remember, so I'll let you tell me." Li Chengqian said with emotion. "You, it's time to develop your own judgment. As an emperor, you don't need to be very capable or diligent, but you must have a high level of judgment to find the best way to handle the method; on the other hand, Know people well and learn how to control them." Changsun Chong persuaded, "Your father is doing this for your own good." Li Chengqian also knew that his father's painstaking efforts could not be revealed outside, but could only be revealed in front of Changsun Chong. complain. "Cousin, as a newlywed, I suffer a lot every morning when I get up and go to court." Li Chengqian was quite annoyed about this. The young man had a lot of trouble getting up at night and couldn't get up in the morning. "Haha, who made you the prince of the Tang Dynasty? This is a must. Besides, you can't do anything less at night!" Changsun Chong said with a smile, that feeling is really?Comfortable, he felt it deeply. "By the way, cousin, what kind of books have you compiled?" Li Chengqian asked, "I heard from my father that you are planning to build an academy?" "Yes, we are making such preparations. But my academy is peaceful. The academies in Rili are different. We don¡¯t study Confucian classics and history. Most of them study Gewuzhi. Anyone who is literate and smart can sign up," Changsun Chong said. It is much easier than the imperial examination. "There should be a lot of students, right?" Li Chengqian asked. "There are a lot of them, regardless of their background. Some of them have failed the imperial examinations many times. Our academy can at least provide them with an opportunity to learn a trade. If nothing else, let's take accounting as an example. Once you learn how to do it, you can become an accountant. , more than enough." Changsun Chong replied, "Even if everyone in the world thinks that everything is inferior, there are not many good students only if they are well-educated." "Brother, don't worry, I will help you when the time comes. "Li Chengqian assured. "No, no, no, no, everyone you know is taking the imperial examination. I don't want them to study in my academy for a while and then take the imperial examination. Then my work is not in vain." Changsun Chong disagreed, "I It's better to recruit students yourself!" Li Chengqian curled his lips and said, "You should treat your kindness like a donkey's liver and lungs, and you don't need to push him down." "I appreciate your kindness. It would be better if you understood what happened in the court." Changsun Chong said. . "That's what you said." Li Chengqian suddenly thought of something disturbing, but he was worried that if he told it, his eldest cousin would think he was a coward. Li Chengqian sat on the couch glumly and didn't speak for a long time. Changsun Chong looked up and saw Li Chengqian with a melancholy look on his face, "What's wrong with you?" Li Chengqian stopped talking. "You grown man, if you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have anything to say, say it quickly, you are hesitating, what do you look like!" Changsun Chong said in a deep voice. Li Chengqian had said so much, and probably the next thing he wanted to say was what he wanted to say the most. Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said: "Cousin, I have recently discovered that Qingque and I are far apart, and a group of people have gathered around us." Changsun Chong heard this, smiled, and said: "Haha, I'm not too slow, I finally noticed it. Li Chengqian sat up with a groan and asked, "Cousin, did you know?" Changsun Chong nodded and said, "I know, did Qingque often meet Chai Lingwu when we went to Tuyuhun?" , Fang Yiai and the two unlucky children are very familiar with each other? Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Yes! "Because he fell from a horse before, he was busy recovering and didn't have much time to talk to his peers, so he became alienated from everyone. "Are you worried about this? " Changsun Chong asked. "Shouldn't this be worrying? "Li Chengqian asked back. "You should be aware of it, but not worried. You haven't seen what kind of things are around Qingque. That boy Chai Lingwu has become more and more disorganized in the past two years. It may be that Chai Prince Consort is in poor health and has no energy to take care of him; and as for Fang Yiai, he has a gut that leads to the end. I feel dizzy when I hear a few nice words from others. " Changsun Chong said disdainfully. Li Chengqian thought about it and found out that it was as Changsun Chong said. Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai are indeed not capable people. "Qingque, this kid, can't see the situation clearly. He has been thinking about things that don't belong to him since he was a child. . I originally thought that it was discovered early and could be taught, but it turns out that the idea has been deeply ingrained and it doesn't help at all. Changsun Chong said with emotion. "Then what should I do next?" "Li Chengqian asked. "Langzao, don't do anything. You just need to listen carefully at the court meeting and develop the ability to analyze and judge. If you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me. As for Qingque, you have to remember that you are his brother, and brotherly friendship is what your father wants to see, not brotherly murder. "Chang Sun Chong said in persuasion. "Brother, I know what to do. "Li Chengqian replied. "Everyone in the court is smart. Duan Guan, Li Yexu, Xiao Rui, Wei Shuyu, Qin Huaiyu and others, these young people have great potential, but you see how many of them are dazzling in front of Qingque. " Changsun Chong added what he just said. "But they didn't hang around in front of me either! "Li Chengqian said disappointedly. "You are in the palace all day, who has time to hang out in front of you! Qingque often interacts with these people, and I still don't see how warm they are to Qingque, which proves that everyone is thinking about you. " Changsun Chong replied. Li Chengqian thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case. He couldn't help but smile and said: "That's it! " "You are the only one who is stupid enough to worry about this kind of thing. With my eldest cousin here, everything will be blocked by you. Changsun Chong assured, "But the premise is that you have to fight for it yourself!" ¡± "Cousin, I will continue to work hard." Changsun Chong replied. "Work hard together!" Changsun Chong said with a smile, high-fiving Li Chengqian, "Read more newspapers on weekdays to know the latest happenings, which will be of great benefit to you." "That's right, I don't pull it in every issue. Not only are there famous people There were also articles written by officials under pseudonyms. Sometimes my father felt itchy and would write some and publish them in newspapers or periodicals. At first, no one knew my father¡¯s pen name, so the manuscripts were not selected at all, and I was angry for several days. It's not going well!" Although Li Chengqian had a sad face, his tone was mostly gloating.
