Chapter 238: Draft Concubine
Growing up means losing a lot of things, and the children of powerful families are no exception.
When you are a child, your playmates are not necessarily your lifelong playmates, and everyone may only be able to walk together for a while in someone else's life, and when they reach a fork in the road, they often go their separate ways without even saying hello, and then meet the next person on the same road......
Li Su saw through it, because he had lived two lifetimes, Cheng Chumo didn't see it through, because he was not very old, and a child of a powerful family couldn't see through the gathering and dispersion, which is a good thing, if one day he is indifferent to the gathering and dispersion of life, and when he meets someone who is on the same road with him, he no longer sighs fate, but chooses interests, which means that he has grown up, and it also means that he has really begun to lose a lot of things in his life, consciously, or unconsciously.
Cheng Chumo's love was a little low, he was still gloomy about the loss of his childhood friend, Li Su patted him on the shoulder, he really couldn't think of any words to persuade him, because it was certain that when he really grew up, he would lose more, and everyone was like that.
Cheng Chumo is a rough man, after a moment of loss, he stood up and played a set of punches, the boxing method can't see the way, the big open and close seems to be the number of ways to kill the enemy in the battle array, most of them are Cheng Biting Jinjiao, on the beauty is really not good-looking, Li Su even clearly saw that there are a few moves to tease the yin, insert eyeballs and other moves, and occasionally come to a very unsightly lazy donkey rolling, but this set of boxing methods was used by Cheng Chumo, and the surrounding Zhang Xu was a little more murderous.
After finishing a set of punches, Cheng Chumo's mood finally calmed down, and he sat next to Li Su with a slight breath, looked at the vast field for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard about the murder of the Feng family last time, the prince wants to frame you, you ...... Is the grudge with the East Palace so deep? โ
Li Su thought for a while, and asked instead of answering: "There are still discussions in the government and the opposition about this matter?" โ
Cheng Chumo nodded: "There is ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Chumo looked around left and right. leaned into Li Su's ear and whispered: "The result of His Majesty's holy judgment has not been convincing to the public, and the murder case is said to be over, but the courtiers all say that His Majesty is deliberately protecting the prince, and if there is no one in the right division of the criminal department, how can he dare to openly frame the county?" What's more, your county is the time when the Holy Grace is extremely long, and last time Dali Temple Shaoqing Dou Fu was demoted to Lingnan because of you. The lessons of the past have not been long ago, how dare a mere criminal department right Shilang Zhong commit it again? It's clearly a substitute for the dead......"
"It's just that His Majesty is arbitrary, and this matter is related to the country's capital, since His Majesty is determined to protect it, the courtiers know the stakes, including Wei Zheng's old ...... cough, old man, he has been honest and loyal all his life, and he doesn't dare to say a word more about His Majesty's protection of the prince. This matter is completely suppressed. โ
Cheng Chumo sighed and said: "Li Su, although I haven't known you for a long time, but you have a lot of appetite for me, and friends are valuable, today I have to say a good word, if you can resolve the grudge with the prince." Let's try to resolve it as much as possible, he is the future monarch. Maybe you can't help it this year, but what about tomorrow next year? One day he will ascend to the great treasure and hold the heavy tripod in his hand, where will you go? โ
Li Su smiled slightly, still a little moved in his heart, Cheng Chumo could say this. It shows that he really treats him as a friend.
"Is this your words, or is it a paraphrase of your father?"
"What I wanted to say, my father didn't say anything, only said that I can't see the clues at the moment, but with the prince's behavior that is getting worse and worse at the moment. and His Majesty's favor to the King of Wei, there may be changes in a few years......"
Li Su smiled, although the old rascal said that his character was a little worse, his tricks were still very sharp.
It's just that the old rascal's prediction of the future is still a little biased, a few years later, the real beneficiary is neither the prince nor the king of Wei, the position of the ninety-fifth year of the Tang Dynasty actually asked a little kid to pick peaches......
This is also the biggest reason why Li Su is not afraid of offending the crown prince at the moment, and at the same time keeping a distance from King Wei.
patted Cheng Chumo on the shoulder, Li Su smiled and said: "Resolving the grudge will be avoided, even if I intend to resolve it, I must not take that step, don't forget that in addition to being the county prince, I am also the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, and it is taboo to get too close to any prince, Your Majesty is not afraid of which prince I will offend, what he is worried about is which prince I am close to, if he knows, it will be my death." โ
Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what Li Su meant, and sighed: "No wonder my father has always doted on you, but he never mentioned the matter of resolving your grudge with the prince, it turns out that he has already understood ......"
Li Su said with a smile: "So, you still have to learn from Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng's ability is not only in the art of war in the battle formation, but also in life." โ
Cheng Chu grinned silently and said: "My father can't learn anything except for pumping me, but he has learned a lot of skills in the past few years, and he can barely count it as a skill." โ
โฆโฆโฆโฆ
The Li family's house is not small, and Cheng Chumo stayed at Li Su's house at night. Although he is a rough man, but the tutor is very good, Cheng Chumo entered the door and gave Li Daozheng a junior salute, the salute was very upright, not perfunctory at all, he bowed his hand respectfully, first said hello, and then conveyed the greetings from his parents, and finally kept "presumptuous", "Haihan" and the like, which made Li Daozheng quite useful, and even praised the children of the national family is well-educated, and then looked at Li Su, Li Daozheng shook his head and sighed.
Li Su's face darkened with anger.
Although it has always been someone else's child, Cheng Chumo has also become a good child of someone else's family, which is a bit insulting, leading a group of tribes to loot the cloth merchants in Chang'an East City in broad daylight, and pretending to be a well-bred good boy at night, and coaxing his father one by one, so that Li Su, a really good boy, where can he be reasonable?
The Li family held a banquet, a jar of wine, and a series of delicacies were served on the table.
Cheng Chumo seems to have really received etiquette education, in front of Li Daozheng at the banquet, no matter how he sits, talks, holds a cup and eats vegetables, etc., he is very perfect, and he is simply pleasing to the eye in Li Daozheng's eyes, and he is so happy that he is more and more blind, so Li Su is regarded as a negative teaching material, and he only listens to Li Daozheng's reprimands from time to time at the banquet, "Look at other people's ......" and "Learn more from other people's ......"
Li Su was so angry that his teeth itched, and Cheng Chu, who had been praised, became more and more reserved, and he could only find a fleeting sรจ in his eyes.
At the banquet, Li Daozheng drank a few more glasses, and he was too strong to retreat first, and it was only at this time that Cheng Chumo recovered his true nature and slapped the table suddenly: "I didn't drink well just now, come." Let's have a few drinks, brother! โ
After speaking, he smacked his lips and showed a lewd smile: "At the moment of fine wine and food, why don't you see Kaki and Maiko to help the fun?" Don't you have Kabuki in your house? โ
Li Su said coldly: "No, there are a few ugly girls, if Brother Cheng doesn't dislike it, I'll call them here and give you a few twists?" โ
Cheng Chu was silent for a moment. Then he showed sympathy and sighed, "Brother Xian...... It's no wonder that every time you go to my house, you get drunk, and it's only in my house that you can enjoy yourself......"
Li Su gritted his teeth, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped violently: "Every time I go to your house to get drunk, it's because your father and your six brothers pour wine, can this be called fun?" It's clearly a ghost gate! โ
Cheng Chumo showed a self-righteous expression and squeezed his eyes. said with a smile: "Brother Xian is shy, and he refuses to admit it, but for my brother to understand, I will send you a few Maiko and Kabuki music classes in a few days, I don't know if Brother Xian likes Goryeo women or Silla women?" By the way, I heard that there is a tooth in the West Market who is selling Tocharian Maiko recently, and the training is very good, how about I send you two? โ
"Brother Cheng. It's better to cash out, it can make me really happy. Really ......"
Cheng Chumo laughed: "Brother Xian, don't make trouble, it's decided, and I will send Kabuki to your house in a few days." โ
โฆโฆโฆโฆ
I can't be reasonable with this kind of person, I'm too stubborn, Li Su doesn't object to women, but I'm really not interested in Kabuki. He has a habit of cleanliness, the kind of woman who doesn't know how many hands have been turned by big families and traffickers, if it falls into Li Su's house, who will spoil whom?
As a pink and fresh boy chicken, he must not give those wild bees and butterflies any chance to defile him......
When the moon rises on the willow tops. The Li family's banquet is not over yet, and Cheng Chumo may not have been praised for a long time, but today he was praised by Li Daozheng for a few words, and he suddenly got a little carried away, and his interest in drinking was very high.
There is never a shortage of topics to drink with Cheng Chumo, from the anecdotes of the previous dynasty to the secrets of this dynasty, one by one like a number of treasures, when he was about to get drunk, Cheng Chumo said a very interesting thing with his tongue.
Due to the early death of the eldest grandson, Li Shimin has lived a very lonely life this year, although the famous four concubines of the harem are still alive, but these four concubines are secretly intrigued, in order to compete for favor, the chickens and dogs in the Taiji Palace are jumping, Li Shimin is so tired that he doesn't want it, so he rarely favors the four concubines.
The emperor was too lonely, the courtiers couldn't see it, they really didn't understand the logic of these ministers, what did people's feelings and sexual affairs have to do with them, anyway, in a word, "the king worries about the humiliation of the ministers", Li Shimin was depressed, and the courtiers seemed to feel that someone had slapped them hard, and their cheeks were hot and painful.
So the eldest grandson Wuji connected some courtiers, and they all asked Li Shimin to draft concubines, and select a number of beautiful and dignified people from the gate valve or meritorious marriageable women to enter the palace, so as to relieve the loneliness of my emperor, anyway, he will never let His Majesty the Heavenly Khan be a quiet old man.
Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who swept the world, and he is also a normal man, he is only forty years old this year.
The quiet and melancholy emperor His Majesty pretended to shirk a few times, and said seriously that I want to work hard, I want to govern the country diligently, and I don't want to be tied up by the private feelings of my children, etc., how many years has the eldest grandson Wuji known this product, and he still doesn't know what kind of quality it is? So the eldest grandson Wuji kept warmly inviting the draft concubine, Li Shimin kept refusing to refuse, and the two monarchs and ministers staged a passionate play in the court, which made the upright Wei Zheng disgusting.
It's just a matter of choosing a few women to enter the palace as **, and making so many famous halls, do you want to be embarrassed?
So Wei Zheng, who was so disgusted that he was about to vomit, also had to enter the play, and followed the eldest grandson Wuji to play a few times, and said very implicitly when he was on the last sparse, and if he continued to be hypocritical, the old minister would really oppose the draft, almost it, hurry up and wash the white, and let the beauties go to your bowl......
Li Shimin also felt that it would be hypocritical to shirk it again, so he hurriedly agreed, saving Wei Zheng's old man from really opposing the draft, which made all his charming thoughts come to naught.
In November of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the Tang Emperor began to select beautiful women to enter the palace one year after the death of Empress Changsun.
