Chapter 46 helpless back to Chang’an
From Li Tai’s house out, Li Chengqian smiled that happy ah, like eating honey, happy to the East Palace, sitting on the carriage, looking at the huge Chang’an City because of the curfew reason seems to be quiet playful.
Carriage walking in the street from time to time can see the night patrol of the Jingwuwei passed by, but they saw Li Chengqian’s carriage did not come up to check, after all, the East Palace that eye-catching sign in that, give them the courage to them also do not do.
At this time, because of Li Chengqian’s words in the morning court, Kong Yingda’s house, a number of Confucian scholars and Kong Yingda are looking at the classics of Mencius, and some former sages and great Confucian commentaries.
At first, they were still angry at Li Chengqian for saying that, so they gathered in Kong Yinda’s residence, wanting to find strong evidence from those ancient books to hit back at Li Chengqian, but as they looked through more and more ancient books, they gradually realized that they might be really wrong, because there are a lot of books pointing out that “the gentleman is far away from the kitchen”, which is a phrase of Meng Zi’s exhortation to King Xuan of Qi to practise benevolence, only that many of the texts were just a passing reference.
”Wrong, we are really wrong, we are actually not as good as a child’s understanding of the Confucian classics, wrongly believe in the words of predecessors, but not self-reflection, I am ashamed of my ancestors ah” Kong Yingda in a special commentary on the classics of Mencius, found the answer to the book suddenly put down the book and sighed to.
The other people saw Kong Yingda like this, also helplessly put down the hands of the ancient book, sitting there, also do not say, but that kind of depression and how many people can understand.
And just when they were about to offer their farewells, Kong Yingda stood up “Since we are wrong, then we can’t let his majesty punish the crown prince, I’ll go to the palace to face the saint, who among you will join me”.
After saying that, everyone else also responded to follow Kong Yingda into the palace.
On the other hand, the little fat Li Tai, sitting in the study, the more I think the more wrong “big brother, this time to come, there must be something, and also specially explained that can not see, and also very important, but also a year to take before taking to the father, there must be a problem, no I must see, what is inside”.
Said little fat Li Tai, hurry to open the box given by his big brother, which Hurley put is horseshoes, high bridge saddles and bilateral stirrups, at first glance the little fat man has not seen what these things are, but smart he, after seeing Li Chengqian wrote the instructions, what all understand, he also knows the importance of things inside.
”Big brother, still say not pit me, want me to be the crown prince, the door is not there, since I know that the throne of the crown prince is a pit, but also want me to jump, come on people to give this king to prepare the car, this king wants to go into the palace” said Li Tai walked to the door and shouted after, silently turned back to put the horseshoe back.
”Your Highness, this day is already so late, it’s not good to enter the palace at this time! Why don’t you go early tomorrow morning” The housekeeper saw Li Tai come out and hurriedly went forward to persuade Li Tai not to enter the palace.
”Now there is late, anyway, big brother also want to go in a few days, then tomorrow in the go, a moment you order people to guard here, not allowed anyone to go in, to be inside the things lost, then they do not have to live” commanded, Li Tai only inside the study.
When Li Chengqian woke up early the next morning, immediately let people put away to take to Luoyang things loaded car.
”Your Highness, this is not so urgent!” Xia Ju looked at once up to let people hurry to load the car of Li Chengqian, puzzled whisper asked.
”What do you mean it’s not urgent, leave Chang’an one day earlier, this king can rest assured one day earlier, you are also quick to pack things, and so ready, immediately leave” Li Chengqian will not say to Xia Ju, although he has done a lot of things, but he himself knows, he those things, really want to put on the table, that is really worthless, he is now gambling, gambling on their own! Pops, will be because of his own age, and did not take it seriously, otherwise this is all empty talk.
Although Li Chengqian knows his own shortcomings, but because of the lack of time, he did not have too much change, after all, he was a small boss of the restaurant in his previous life, and so some of the daily hooking up to engage in politics of the big brother than, he is not even a dregs, he is also relying on the previous life of the explosive speed of dissemination of information to see a little bit more, he dared to be like this.
But he also did not want to learn, after all, all day fighting is very tired, that’s why he wanted to be an idle prince, every day to tease the dog and walk the birds, eat delicious food, this is the life he wanted.
But he is a thousand calculations, did not expect, in his brother that went wrong.
This is not his front foot just led the people to leave Chang’an in a big way, even to say goodbye to his own old mother is to let Zhang Gao to go, that side Li Tai with the box he gave towards the palace.
”Green Bird, are you in such a hurry to come over, is there something wrong?” Li Shimin had just gotten off the court when he heard the guards report that his fourth son, Li Tai, had something big to report, which is why he came over as soon as he got off the court.
”Father emperor, is this way, big brother last night …………” Hearing Li Shimin’s words, Li Tai put things in detail and he said once.
”What, there really is such a thing “After hearing Li Tai’s words, Li Shimin looked at Li Tai in shock.
”Yes to yes, but is not really useful children’s court also do not know, after all, children’s court also did not try, but big brother sent, there is a detailed drawing inside, and the use of the method, father emperor, we try not to know” Li Tai for the first time to see his own father’s father like this loss of temper, but this also proves his own guess, inside the thing is really very important, and his big brother is just pitting himself.
”Try what to try, come on people give me the crown prince to chase back, just say his punishment is canceled, quickly go” after hearing Li Tai’s words, Li Shimin didn’t even think about it, and immediately called for people to go after Li Chengqian.
”Father, you said big brother has left, this can’t be put, he’s not leaving until tomorrow!” Li Tai looked at Li Shimin dumbfounded and asked in disbelief.
”also tomorrow, this brat, even you that have such an arrangement, he will only leave tomorrow, he is now trying to leave Chang’an with great fanfare, to sit on the matter of him being punished, as a way to tell the world that he is a prince with a mistake, so that he is in a bit of a mistake, that the throne of the crown prince, I don’t give him to be abolished can not be, after all, the world’s long mouth is able to talk about the death of the person, especially you Big brother knows, your father I want to be a bright king, so this stain, I can not stay, because before the stain has been very big, so you understand it” finished Li Shimin looked at his fourth son.
”No, big brother’s calculations are so deep, then if I don’t come that’s not the end” the smart Li Tai was Li Shimin so said, immediately understood the reason.
”The fart calculations deep, he this is some small tricks, originally even if he is in the mistake, I do not intend to abolish his crown prince position, is thinking of letting him go out to play for two years, but this thing is too important, that’s why it is necessary to chase him back, and he miscalculated one thing, I’m a monarch, in the face of having an absolute interest, those taints are not a matter of fact.
Now hear these, regret it or not, after all, if you don’t take these things out now, according to your elder brother’s arrangement, you will be the crown prince after one year, and you will be able to inherit my throne in the future as well” Finished speaking, Li Shimin looked at the son in front of his eyes whom he liked very much and asked.
”Regret, not, father, you do not look at me small, but just this more than a month’s time, I counted to see the understanding, when what the crown prince, when what the emperor, is not at all what I want, what I want is a family that can love me” Li Tai resolutely shook his head, he does not regret, because from the day he was beaten by Li Chengqian, he found that his own father and mother Queen had changed, changed to be the same as the parents he wanted to be, they were not the emperor and queen who were high above him, but were his parents, although they used to be too, but that distance, made him dislike it, even made him cringe, but wanted to show it, to get their attention.
”I hope you can stay like this and not regret everything today, now accompany me to see if these things your big brother gave you are really effective” said Li Shimin, patting Li Tai’s head and pulling him along with him out of the Taichi Hall.
