Chapter 954(1/2)
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a meal cost several million, and there is no one else. However, seeing that the meal was invited by the emperor and the dishes were made by the queen, there was nothing to complain about.
Others want to spend this money, but they are not qualified yet.
To put it in a more affectionate sentence, this is called thunder, rain and dew, and it is all the kindness of yours.
However, Empress Changsun’s dishes were indeed well cooked. Li Chao felt that he was 70% of his own level, and he was worthy of being a virtuous queen who wrote about the girl’s name.
During the refreshment time after eating, Li Shimin gave Li Chao the girl written by Empress Changsun to read. The thirty volumes of great works are quite impressive. Li Chao has read it carefully, and he is indeed very talented, and has a good understanding of the philosophy of his ancestors. Although in the eyes of Li Chao, a later generation, the queen inevitably has some shortcomings in this patriarchal era and regards women as vassals of men.
But Li Chao just likes it, it's better than a feminist mind.
The queen's poem is also very well written, with a spring outing.
The peach blossoms in the garden are bright and the sun is bright, and the concubines in the orchids are in love with spring. The new peach on the well is stealing the complexion, and the tender willows on the eaves are light. Come and go to see the dancing butterflies in the flowers, listen to the singing orioles on the trees. Why do you need to ask far away under the forest? It is outstanding and romantic and famous.
It has to be said that although the poems written by Li Shimin have the taste of imitating his cousin Yang Guang, they are also excellent, and Empress Changsun’s poems are full of the spirit of the great people.
Li Chao said that he would take the queen's daughter to publish it and Li Shimin had to make the preface. Li Shimin was very happy and took out a manuscript, but he had already prepared the preface for the queen. Then he asked Li Chao to make the preface at that time.
In ancient times, women wrote fewer books, and even fewer books were written specifically for women. This book by Empress Changsun was a good book in any aspect, so Li Chao certainly didn't mind publishing it.
When Li Chao said goodbye, Li Shimin and Changsun were very happy.
Chengqian proposed to send Li Chao back.
After leaving the palace, the cold wind outside blew, and Li Chao shook.
"When I was having dinner today, I think you seemed to have something to worry about?"
The two left the palace and walked along the corridor.
Cheng Qian held his mouth and now he had reached Li Chao's shoulders. He was tall and thin, and it was the time to get out of the hall. After leaving the palace, there was no laughter on his face and he was very silent.
A stone kicked under his feet, as if venting his emotions in his heart.
"Teacher, I really want to leave Xiangyang."
Li Chao smiled, "We will move the capital to Hanjing after the New Year, and it will be more beautiful there."
"It's just a bigger cage." Cheng Qian curled his lips.
Li Chao was surprised that they had less time with their masters and apprentices in the past two years, and he found that Cheng Qian had indeed changed a lot. He became more steady and mature, and he was not as cheerful as before.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you? You can tell me."
Cheng Qian was silent for a while.
Then he looked around and reached out to let the guards behind him retreat further.
"I just feel uncomfortable. My father asked me to be regent, but in fact I was just a decoration. He was still controlling everything from behind, and I was like a puppet."
Li Chao thought for a while and said, "You are still young, and now you still need to read and learn more. Even if Your Majesty asks you to be in the position of a state supervising state, it is actually not time to let go."
"I just don't like this feeling. There are several things that I put forward my own opinions, but my father directly rejected it. I wanted the teacher to enter the court again, but my father refused. I opposed my father's money for cheating the teacher with the land in Liaonan and Liuqiu, but my father ignored it."
"I don't want to enter the court. I'm tired and want to rest and live a comfortable and leisurely life. As for the fiefs of Liaonan and Liuqiu, I'm actually very grateful to Your Majesty. Although I, Li Chao, have made some contributions, this credit is also the duty, but Your Majesty gave me a whole family of titles, and it's all a real honor. And that place is actually far more than that price, I made it."
Cheng Qian shook his head, his eyes were bright in the dark night.
"I think Your Majesty shouldn't treat the teacher like that. That's not the way to treat the heroes well. Unfortunately, the prince's words are useless!"
"As sooner or later, you will inherit the throne, and the whole world will belong to you."
"Soon and late? At least forty or fifty years are still there, which is too long."
"This time allows you to study hard, learn how to be the king, and learn to govern the world. Good meals are not afraid of being late, it is worth waiting for."
"Teacher, I miss the days when I was studying with you. I heard that you will go to the territory after the New Year, and I really want to go with you. It is said that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. I think I should go out more and take a look, look at the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, and see the people of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chao stopped and looked at Cheng Qian. It was hard to believe that this was said by a ten-year-old boy.
"But you are the crown prince, the crown prince of the country, and the foundation of the empire. Your Majesty will not let you leave the capital."
"It would be great if I were not the eldest son of His Majesty. I would rather be King Tai of Wei or King Ke of Wu, and they would be more relaxed."
"But why don't you know that they may envy you even more, envying you as the eldest son of the emperor, who was appointed as the crown prince early, and will become the one who ruled the world in the future?" Li Chao asked.
"Then I'd rather exchange it with them."
Li Chao shook his head.
Chengqian seemed to have entered adolescence and began to have some rebellious thoughts.
"Don't say anything like this in the future, don't tell anyone. You can become the prince, although it is related to your eldest son, but it is also inseparable from your talents and morals. If God chooses you, don't let it go. This is both your luck and your responsibility. Haven't you always wanted to be a real man? Then let me tell you that the most important thing for a real man is to take responsibility. Understand the responsibilities on your shoulders and take on them."
Chengqian was silent.
"Teacher, what is your mind?"
"Worry about the world first and worry about it, and then enjoy the world first and enjoy about it."
Chengqian was shocked.
“Is there anything else?”
"Make tomorrow better!"
"What else?"
"The world is peaceful!"
Cheng Qian went back silently. He was moved by the teacher's mind and ideals, and felt that his little emotions were too naive.
Out of the palace.
Li Chao did not go home directly, he went to Honglu Temple.
There, I met an old friend.
Qingluan is here again, representing the pilgrimage of the East Girl Country.
"Prince Sun Bo has left Supi for many years, but after returning, he is still respected by various tribes. Under his introduction, I have now been recognized by many Supi tribes, and they recognize that I am Supi's princess."
Qingluan is still the same, with a slim figure and a healthy glow in bronze skin.
"Why don't you bring Ling'er?"
"It's too small, it's too far along the way, and it's hard to walk. In a few years, I will definitely bring her to see her father."
"Is that road still difficult to walk? Haven't you been expanding and building it in the past few years?"
Qingluan sat on Li Chao's lap with a smile, hugged his neck and kissed him a few times. "The road is much better now than before, but in many places, they are often flooded by mountain torrents and mudslides. It is not easy to repair and repair."
"Tell you good news. We have bribed someone around Langrizan and poisoned him when he has the chance. As soon as he dies, Prince Sun Bo will lead the Supi tribe to raise an army."
Li Chao just nodded after hearing this. Things on the distant Tubo Plateau were not very attractive to him. Now, he is still more concerned about Liaodong and at the sea.
The plateau like Tubo is as difficult as the grassland and is truly completely controlled.
It is better to go to the sea. Developing navigation trade can bring more wealth, open up the sea, and even colonize it.
Holding the beauty in his arms, Li Chao promised Qingluan, "When Tubo is in chaos, the Tang Dynasty will enthrone you as Queen Subi. We will support you to take Subi and Dongnu and other countries to fight against Tubo. When Tubo is destroyed, you will be the king of the Kingdom of Women, and our daughter is the princess."
Qingluan twisted in his arms, passionately.
"I want you to give me another daughter tonight."
"Maybe it's a son, I like him."
"I want my daughter." Qingluan pushed Li Chao down.
Second grade.
Li Chao met another old friend.
Spring Gasuwen.
The one-armed Quan Gai Suwen has been in the Tang Dynasty for more than half a year and was left in Honglu Temple under house arrest. No one asked or paid attention to it. It seemed that the Tang Dynasty had forgotten him.
Gao Jianwu, the King of Goguryeo and his father both sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to pick him up, and Gao Jianwu also wanted to take the prisoners back, but even if he offered a map of seals to the Tang Dynasty and surrender, Li Shimin was not easy to deceive.
He was not confused by this lie.
Li Shimin accepted Gao Jianwu's surrender, and even forgave him magnanimously, and continued to grant him the title of Prince of Liaodong to be named Shangzhu Kingdom.
But in fact, the court has been planning how to destroy Goguryeo.
"Did you miss home?" Li Chao asked.
Quan Gai Suwen was very haggard. He was younger than Li Chao. He looked like a middle-aged man at this time.
He looked up at Li Chao, and did not speak, but just bit a roast goose brought by Li Chao.
"Do you want to go back to Goguryeo and be the king of Goguryeo?"
Quan Gasuwen looked up again.
"Do you want to be the King of Goguryeo?" Li Chao said again.
Surprise flashed in Yeon Gaisuwen's eyes.
He was silent for a while, then lowered his head and continued to chew on the roast goose.
"I'm serious. If you want to go home and be the King of Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty can help you."
