961 20 Years of Zhenguan (Medium)
Li Chengqian sent someone to Suning's house and invited Suning to the East Palace for dinner.
is a very straightforward expression, that is, to invite Suning to dinner, Suning was stunned for a moment, so he took his eldest son Qingren and second son Qingli to the palace together, what Li Chengqian's idea, Suning can probably understand, so he decisively brought his two sons, as for Qingzhi because he was too young, he was not brought along.
The road was unimpeded, and when he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, Suning saw Li Chengqian standing at the gate of the East Palace from a distance, as if he was waiting for him, and there was a little boy standing next to Li Chengqian, who looked quite cute and childish, and Suning understood, obviously, this is Li Chengqian and the eldest son of the crown princess Su, Li Xiang.
In another time and space, this family is tragic, Li Chengqian rebelled and was deposed as a concubine, Li Xiang was implicated, he only did a petty official like Huaizhou Beijia in his life, and was deposed as a concubine in the era of Wu Zetian, but their inheritance was not broken, during the Kaiyuan period, Li Xiangzhi's fourth son Li Chang Li Shizhi became the prime minister, and posthumously presented Li Chengqian and Li Xiang with the titles.
However, in this time and space, the nineteenth year of Zhenguan is a thrilling year, and in another time and space, Li Chengqian died depressed in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, and in this time and space, Li Chengqian also experienced great challenges and setbacks, but he survived, Zhenguan twenty years, that is, now, under the bright sunshine, Li Chengqian carried his hands, stood up with his chest, bathed in the sun, and took his lovely son, standing at the door of the prince's east palace and waiting for Suning with a smile.
"It's a good weather today, you invited me to come with a heart, I smell the smell of barbecue, and it's right not to eat breakfast." Suning dismounted from a distance, stepped forward, stood in front of Li Chengqian, and said with a smile.
Li Chengqian smiled: "Yes, in order to invite you." I didn't eat well yesterday, so my wife prepared and prepared for a whole day, but I don't dare to snub you, the god of food in Chang'an, hehe, come, Xiang'er. I've seen my uncle! Li Chengqian stretched out his hand and pulled out his son Li Xiang who was standing behind him and asked Li Xiang to salute.
It was not the first time Li Xiang had seen Suning, and he knew that his father and Suning had always been very good friends, and the two got along quite easily, so he saluted Suning very happily and saluted respectfully: "I've seen my uncle!" ”
Suning smiled and bowed slightly: "I haven't seen Xiang'er for a long time, has there been any Wen Shu recently?" Have you memorized the three-character scripture that your uncle taught you? ”
Li Xiang showed a smug smile: "Of course I am familiar with it, my father has praised Xiang'er!" The smug look on his face made Suning laugh. Then he pulled his two sons over: "Qingren, Qingli, you have also come to see your uncle, and, well, Qingren is older than Xiang'er, Qingli is younger than Xiang'er, how should this be called?" ”
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Are you bothered by this kind of thing? The elder is called a brother. Isn't it okay to call a younger brother at a young age? It's easy! Qingren celebration ceremony. You know how to do it! ”
Su Qingren and Su Qingli glanced at each other, indicating that it was not the first time they had seen Li Chengqian, but it was the first time they had seen Li Xiang, and the child's eyes were easy to focus on the child, so the two of them saluted together: "I've seen uncle!" I've seen elephants (brothers) and brothers. ”
Li Chengqian also returned the salute with a smile. Li Xiang also returned the salute, and after the ceremony, Li Chengqian smiled at Suning and said: "You are famous for opposing Confucianism, but your son is in the name of Confucian etiquette, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith." If the Confucian descendants knew about this, would they think it was ridiculous? Hahaha! ”
Suning also smiled: "How is benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith a Confucian thing?" At that time, the character that each of us should have was just said by Confucianism, and you don't want to talk about me, didn't your son also take the name of the elephant I said? I heard that this was decided by His Majesty, right? I've wanted to say for a long time, why do you want to use elephants as names? I always think it's not good for you to name your son after a beast? ”
Li Chengqian scolded with a smile: "You are really bold, even my father's name dare to say anything, it's not that the elephant you said is majestic and majestic, it is the biggest beast on land, only those big fish in the ocean can be bigger than the elephant, so my father hopes that the elephant is very healthy and strong, and you say that even the lions and tigers dare not fight with the elephant, so my father felt that there is no shortage of jackals, tigers and leopards around the Tang Dynasty, so he named the elephant Xiang'er, which is to place his ardent hope on his father!" That's why I named it an elephant, isn't that what you said? ”
Suning smiled: "Come on, you still blame me, let's go, starve me to death, I haven't eaten since I got up early this morning, several mothers-in-law in the family are getting more and more powerful, one or two can't wait to suck me dry, damn, I'm hungry, hurry up and get me something to make up, otherwise I really can't stand it." ”
Li Chengqian laughed, and said as he walked: "Who let you marry so many beautiful girls?" Some time ago, I also took the second daughter of the warrior woks as a concubine, you are a marquis, the warrior woks are dukes, and they are still concubines, you actually accept others as concubines, but there are really yours, alas, I heard that the second lady of the warriors is a beauty, and it doesn't seem to be a vulgar fan who can enter your eyes, I heard that she also has two sisters......"
Li Chengqian's meaningful words made Suning instantly alert: "Okay, you, it turns out that you came to me to spy on intelligence?" Okay, I'll tell you, my lady is indeed a national beauty, and the remaining two sisters also have their own merits and excellent appearances, so what, don't you have two concubines? Do you still want it? ”
Li Chengqian said: "You have three sons and five daughters, I only have two sons and one daughter, you have five in your family, and I only have three as the prince, I just want what's wrong, don't you give it, don't you give it!" I'm the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I want a woman, don't I? ”
Suning rolled his eyes: "Before Ying Gong died, he entrusted me to take care of their mother and daughter, if I don't agree, you won't succeed!" Hum! After saying that, Suning quickly ran into the East Palace, Li Chengqian was stunned, and hurriedly caught up, leaving a few children and a few personal guards dumbfounded, although they had long known that the relationship between Marquis Su and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was extraordinary, but it was so close, I really couldn't imagine that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne as the emperor in the future, what glory would the Su family be?
Although the East Palace is small and broken, that just means that the East Palace Palace is small and broken. The backyard of the East Palace is a large wasteland, it was a wasteland before Li Chengqian got married, and after the marriage, the crown princess Su ordered grass and trees to be planted all over this wasteland, and after a few years, it became a beautiful place. In spring and summer, the green meadows, a few small wildflowers, and a few big trees seem to have a unique flavor.
Since then, every time Suning comes to the East Palace, he is unwilling to eat in the small and dilapidated palace, so he insists that Li Chengqian go to the grass with him, spread a soft cushion on the ground, and put food on it. While eating, while enjoying the scenery, the most beautiful time in spring and summer, there are butterflies fluttering, Suning will feel relaxed and happy every time he comes here.
After that, Suning taught Su Shi the barbecue stunt, and asked Su Shi to barbecue meat instead of himself, every time he came over, Su Shi's barbecue skills became better and better. But there are really not many people who can enjoy it, and the current crown princess. The future queen can enjoy her craftsmanship, in addition to the royal elders, there is only one Suning, and now there are two more, Qingren and Qingli.
Walk to the grass. Sure enough, Su Shi had already set up a barbecue grill, lit a fire, and was barbecuing unknown meat, when a small breeze blew. The strong fragrance filled Suning's nasal cavity, and the brain quickly conveyed a strong signal to Suning - hunger, and the image of a piece of barbecue meat was gradually generated.
"The princess's craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated, and she can enjoy these barbecues in the future, which is really a blessing for three lives! There are very few people in the world who can enjoy the barbecue of the crown princess, but there are actually one of them, hahaha, come, Qingren Qingli, I have seen my uncle! Suning said with a smile, Qingren and Qingli quickly ran over and saluted to Su: "I've seen my uncle!" ”
Su Shi smiled in return: "Su Hou is too polite, there is no need for so many courtesies, Qingren Qingli, and Xiang'er, come here, you are hungry, these are already ready to eat!" ”
Su is very gentle and virtuous, everyone's beautiful breath can be seen at a glance, and she is extremely beautiful, after giving birth to a child, the strong maternal brilliance can quickly attract young children, so soon, Qingren and Qingli and Li Xiang gathered around Su Shi to eat barbecue with a smile, the scene was extremely warm, Suning smiled and shook his head: "You can marry this lady, it's really your blessing, my family, alas, ......"
Suning remembered that Li Ruihan hadn't given herself a good face since she took a concubine, and couldn't help sighing, Li Chengqian laughed a few times, and his face gradually became stern: "On the one hand, I want to invite you to a meal, so that Xiang'er and Qingren Qingli can get to know each other, and secondly, I want to sue you, my father's spirit is getting worse and worse, and I have fallen asleep several times while dealing with government affairs, I estimate that the matter should be soon." ”
Suning frowned, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Are you ready?" Once that day comes, you will no longer be who you are today, and the burden of the entire Datang will fall on you, can you bear it? That's not light, the conquest of the Liaodong Army and the Anxi Army, the post-war recovery of Liaodong and the Western Regions, the problems of foreigners, the construction and development of Hebei, Shandong, Jiangnan, and Lingnan, there are thousands of things, Your Majesty is only fifty years old now, but you have exhausted yourself to such a point, are you ready? ”
Li Chengqian sighed and said: "I was still a little expectant and a little excited before, but the closer I got, the more I feel that I am not ready to accept that position and take on those responsibilities, the emperor is indeed very tempting, I also want to be the emperor, but when I think of so many government affairs, such a heavy burden, and so many people's expectations, I really feel a little scared, a little tired, and I am very worried." ”
Suning sighed, and even said that he was afraid, Li Chengqian did tell the truth to himself, but Suning had no way to help him solve anything, so he could only say: "This is what you have to go through, since you are the emperor, you must be ready to accept this qiē, otherwise, the entire Tang Dynasty will suffer because of this, and your sin will be great, and you will be guilty of it." ”
Li Chengqian also nodded, and said: "I naturally know, since I was young, my father has always done this, since I started to be the prince, I understand this qiē, so, I am naturally prepared, if I don't do well, my father will not let me go, I'm just a little worried, I don't know if I can really do a good job, if I can't do it well, what will it be." ”
Suning looked at Li Chengqian and said very seriously: "As an emperor, you can't think like this, if you think like this, you will never be able to be an emperor, your father will never think about these things, I have noticed, your father has been doing this for a long time, when he is playing with others, when he is playing with himself, he never thinks about the consequences, because he knows that he can't afford to lose, and you are the same, I can lose, because you can save me, you can't lose, you lose, no one will save you."
