Chapter Ninety-One: Unify
"The student has seen the young master." Coming out of Lao Li, Li Chengqian almost strode back to the 'Lanruo Temple', and generously gave Xiao Yu who was sitting in the guest seat a salute, then sat down in the first seat, and looked at Old Man Xiao, without a trace of the previous wandering color in his eyes.
Old man Xiao was also silent after returning the salute, and after a while, he said slowly: "Although the prince has the support of His Majesty, if the old man wants to practice the way of the teacher, I am afraid that His Majesty will have nothing to say." ”
"Huh?" Li Chengqian was stunned by what Xiao Yu said, and he was a little unclear.
Li Chengqian's stunned appearance made the corners of Xiao Yu's mouth curl a little, and he continued unhurriedly: "Your Majesty's love for the prince is understood by all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but His Royal Highness himself is in the dark, but I don't know who I got today, but I understand!?" ”
Old fox, this is, where is Xiao Yu still stubborn at this time, there are many indescribable things hidden in that smile, so that Li Chengqian doesn't know how to continue the words at all.
"Could it be that the prince really regards the old man as the rotten Confucian who eats the ancients?" Seeing that Li Chengqian was silent, the old man asked with a smile.
"Young Master, Cheng Qian doesn't understand." The old man is kind and pleasant, Li Chengqian naturally can't maintain the appearance of Lao Tzu having a backer just now to reject people thousands of miles away, after all, Xiao Li is a very peaceful person in terms of personality.
"Everyone has their own way of being an official, and they also have their own standards of conduct, these are not immutable, if the old man is really like what the prince thinks, I am afraid that there will be no bones and scum left that have died a long time ago." Old man Xiao stared at the ground in front of him, as if he was talking to Li Chengqian, and as if he was talking to himself.
The old man's words almost completely subverted Li Chengqian's three views, what happened to these Tang elites? Why is everyone different from what is written in the book? Could it be that he came to the fake Datang?
At this time, Xiao Yu's demeanor became a little depressed and lonely, and he didn't seem to care whether Li Chengqian was listening or not, but continued to take care of himself: "The old man is fifty and three this year, and he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and many things have been seen ....... ”
Old man Xiao seemed to be really old, and he chattered for nearly an hour, during which Li Chengqian sometimes interjected a sentence or two, but most of the time he was listening to the old man talk about the ancients.
Some Li Chengqian knew about the things of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and the things of the old Li Yuan's time, and some didn't, but on the whole, it was a pleasant conversation.
When it was about to get dark, Lao Tzutou said goodbye and left, leaving Li Chengqian alone silently thinking about his future path.
The old man said a lot, but the main idea was one sentence: 'Don't believe anyone!' ’。
All this is too difficult for Li Chengqian, who has never experienced officialdom, it is simply a matter of personal life, no one believes that he is not living as a lone husband?
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, Li Chengqian, who has lazy cancer, threw all his thoughts aside and decided to be a pig who eats and sleeps for a few days, on the grounds that his illness has not yet healed.
Anyway, within three or two days, Wu Chen and the 'bald king' are afraid that they will not be able to come back, without such a strong guard, Li Chengqian said that he would not go out anything, safety first, prevention first.
As for the anti-bone boy of the donkey day of the donkey of Sugan Chengji, Li Chengqian can't believe it anymore, and it is recorded in the history books that this bastard stood up and identified him.
No matter what the specific situation was at that time, Li Chengqian believed that it was better to believe what he had than not to believe that he did not, and although he was not prepared to rebel in this life, who knew if he would sell himself in other things.
Therefore, although Su Gan Chengji has always been in the name of Li Chengqian's guard, he has done some errands, just picked up Lao Su back, and now he has been sent to Luoyang to find Wang Xuance, directly away from the power center, and the future is basically 'no light' in this life.
This unlucky kid is definitely called now: 'I don't know which life I offended Li Chengqian', Man Datang can't find a 'Dou E' who is more wronged than him, and the worst thing is that 'this bastard is still in the dark, and he has been working hard.'"
It's not easy to live like a pig, Old Man Xiao took the chicken feather as a sword, and with the name of the prince and young master, he must appear in Li Chengqian's 'Lanruo Temple' every afternoon.
Routinely supervising his behavior, speech, and a series of other things, Li Chengqian was miserable, and finally understood why Li You's guy wanted to kill Quan Wanji.
These old things are so annoying, even the hole in the middle of the jade pendant on the body has to be adjusted whether it is square or round, which makes Li Chengqian, who is used to it at will, how can he stand it, and he was almost driven crazy by Lao Xiao.
secretly ran to ask the eldest grandson, and was told that Lao Li might not revive this old thing until about June. Seeing that there was still more than a month to go, Li Chengqian couldn't help but wail from the bottom of his heart, when will the days of suffering be the leader.
"Prince, today is not Shuo and Wang, and His Royal Highness does not care about things (that is, the meaning of working in the office), please change your clothes."
"Prince, how can you wear a double pendant on the horse clothes, please take them off."
"Prince ......"
Old man Xiao seems to have thousands of incarnations, no matter where Li Chengqian goes, as long as there is a slight pair, the old man will appear immediately, and then he will preach, Comrade Xiao Li is too annoying, and finally made up his mind to find something to do for this old man, otherwise there is really no way to live.
It's better to act than to be moved, and when he couldn't bear the old man Xiao, Li Chengqian was ready to make trouble for the old man: "Young Master, Chengqian has something unclear about, and I want to ask the young master for advice." ”
"Your Highness, please say, the old man has no end to it." Old man Xiao didn't think that Xiao Li could have any particularly difficult questions.
"Young Master, how many feet is one step? How many steps is a mile? How many pounds is a bucket? A hint of cunning flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, and he asked.
"It's ......." Old man Xiao was suddenly asked by Li Chengqian, no one has ever asked about this matter, why do you want to know how many feet a step is? It's a different unit entirely.
"Young Master, don't you really think that the step and the ruler are different units? Both are lengths, so why can't they be converted to each other? Li Chengqian continued to get to the bottom of it.
"These have been used for hundreds of years, why does Your Highness have to study so deeply?" Old man Xiao asked rhetorically.
"What was left by our ancestors hundreds of years ago, we still use it now, does the young master feel that something is wrong? If we had been holding on to what our ancestors had left behind, we would still be reading bamboo slips, or wearing animal skins? ”
If Li Chengqian's remarks were placed after the Song Dynasty, they could be called a great rebellion. However, it is not obvious how abrupt and unacceptable it is in the Tang Dynasty.
This is an open era, a time of great integration, and the receptivity of the Tang people has not yet been imprisoned by those damn Confucian doctrines, so Old Man Xiao was not disgusted by Li Chengqian's words, but frowned and asked, "What does Your Highness want?" ”
"Simple, unify."
