Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 106 Complicated Choices
In mid-August, the noisy cicadas stopped, and a few fallen leaves on the plane trees withered.

Li Chengqian sighed slightly as he looked at the cool autumn weather with his hands behind his back.

"Floods in the north have had a profound impact. I only hope that the few carts of green salt sent by the king can do their bit for the disaster."

"At the moment, it is still the most important thing to find someone who can make salt."

"But this person...where can I find him?"

The black soap boots stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, making a rustling noise, and stopped five feet behind Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness, there are some changes in the imperial city."

The figure with the hands behind his back retracted his thoughts from the sunny sky, and turned his head slightly.

"What's the matter?"

Slightly raised his head from behind the arched hands, half of Li Chengqian's profile was reflected in his eyes, and said truthfully.

"Yu Chang, the leader of the Folk Poetry Club, joined hands with Fangfu's second son, Yi Ai, to spread some unfavorable remarks about Li Xian in the Poetry Club."

"The wealthy family in the city seems to have some criticisms about Li Xian, probably because they have met Li Xian and King Jin recently."

Stepping down the stairs, Li Chengqian chuckled.

"The rumors in the city are that Li Xian is not doing his job properly and wandering around with Zhi'er?"

The footsteps of the people behind were suffocated, and their faces were slightly moved.

"Indeed."

The autumn wind has risen, and the rain fell overnight, and the flowers and plants in the flower garden are slightly sluggish. Li Chengqian strolled along the promenade, his eyes following the flowers and plants.

"Li Zhen, what do you think of the current situation?"

Hearing the question, Li Zhen frowned, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly.

"The Fang family and the Yu family have a lot of influence in the imperial city. The poets gathered at the poetry meeting are the literary clans of the imperial city. As the news spreads, the entire imperial city is bound to be full of rumors and ups and downs."

Considering that Li Chengqian lives in the East Palace but knows the situation well, Li Zhen dare not hide it.

"My subordinates have heard that the Changsun Mansion, the head of civil servants, also has a lot of complaints about Li Xian."

"Presumably there will be no peace in the hall."

There was a slight pause in the voice before striding forward, and then a slight smile.

"It seems that Li Xian has gone too far this time."

"However, according to this king, what Li Xian did is understandable."

"Among the many princes, Zhi'er cannot be called a person with extraordinary talents, and not every prince has to practice the road of governing and building a country. Instead, it is not bad to let Li Xian teach some strange skills and tricks to broaden one's mind. "

The footsteps stopped at the waterside covered bridge, and Li Chengqian looked at the fish swimming happily under the covered bridge, dazed in a daze.

"In retrospect, Zhi'er was not favored at first, but was sent to Jin Wang's mansion at a young age."

"Ninth Brother is timid by nature, living alone in such a big palace makes it difficult for him."

"It's not easy to meet wonderful people this time, and enjoy the joy alone. When I went to the Prince Jin's Mansion, the ninth younger brother really didn't have the gloomy air before, and was much more cheerful. From the bottom of my heart, my elder brother, the king, was also happy about it. "

Putting on the railing, Li Chengqian looked over the grassy grass, looked at the rugged rockery in the distance, and sighed softly.

"The courtiers made repeated admonitions, and the nobles retorted again. Whether they can stop it depends entirely on Li Xian."

Li Chengqian's attitude towards Li Xian fluctuated, Li Zhen was extremely suspicious, and cautiously surrendered.

"His Royal Highness, Li Xian, shall we..."

Before the words were finished, the figure in front raised one palm.

Stepping onto the stone path again, Li Chengqian's expression turned a little solemn.

"Li Xian's many actions are different from ordinary people, mysterious and unpredictable."

"The matter of the previous poems was regarded as my king's temptation, and this person avoided talking about it, which is really puzzling."

"At this moment, the disputes in the court are resurgent, let's wait and see how he responds, let's wait and see what happens."

The figure behind him didn't speak, but he heard a slight erratic sentence from the figure walking in front of him.

"If you can't even deal with this level, what qualifications do you have to live in the East Palace..."

"Speaking of which, it's not impossible for this person to make friends."

……

Wei Wangfu.

In the upper right corner of the desk, green smoke curls up from the bronze cauldron furnace, filling the air with a delicate fragrance.

The ground ink has dried up, and a bamboo writing brush is sitting on the Yamagata pen stand.

A blank scroll was placed in the center of the desk, and some questions about pheasants and rabbits in the same cage were asked and answered.

"This answer sheet is very strange. The old man is too dull and unpredictable. I hope His Highness King Wu will forgive me."

The old man with white beard and hair got up and saluted, and bowed his hands towards the figure standing by the window lattice, with a guilty expression on his face.

Gazing at the scenery outside the window, Li Ke smiled slightly.

"It's okay, sir, there is no need to blame yourself."

The old man bowed to leave, and the moment the door was closed, a soldier came from behind, crossed his hands and pushed open the half-closed door, and walked in.

"His Royal Highness King Wu and his eldest grandson have jointly signed the letter. At present, many humerus bones in the imperial court have signed and pledged, intending to forcefully admonish Professor Li Xian for his incompetence."

"I heard it was because when the eldest grandson visited the empress's mansion, he met His Royal Highness King Jin who was going to present a meal."

"As a result, the elder grandson was furious, so he just accused him."

meal?

Li Ke, who was gazing at the scenery outside the window, turned his head to the side, a look of suspicion floated on his handsome cheek.

"Li Xian teaches the prince how to cook?"

The guard bowed and saluted, his figure sank, and he nodded in response.

"Indeed."

Li Ke propped his chin up and down, meditating carefully.

Previously, he took the prince out of the city, but this time he taught the prince how to cook.

This Li Xian is really a strange person, to have such a teaching method?

Slowly pacing the house, Li Ke's eyes lit up, talking to himself.

"That's weird."

"Ninth brother is still young, so there must be something new about it."

"If Li Xian is just a person who seeks fame and reputation, if he does what he likes, his father and queen mother will definitely stop him. Why did this king hear that his father and queen mother praised the ninth brother's academic performance so much?"

When this matter was mentioned, the guard seemed to suddenly remember it, and told each other.

"Old Liu of the Academy of Chinese Studies and Arithmetic has gone to the Prince Jin's Mansion. He is neatly dressed and has a solemn expression. According to my subordinates, it is not like finding fault, but more like... asking for advice."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Ke was taken aback, and then seemed to realize it.

"Old Liu, chief of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Arithmetic, came out for the first time and gathered in the Jin Palace with great fanfare. He wanted to seek justice with great fanfare. Now that the flags and drums have died down and he is going to ask for advice again, it is embarrassing for him."

The figure sitting at the desk looked at the answer sheet in a daze, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"It seems that King Jin's answer sheet is quite important, and even Mr. Liu attaches great importance to it."

"This Li Xian is not easy!"

Tapping the table with his fingertips made a slight thud.

After a while, Li Ke stood up and brushed his sleeves.

"Prepare your horse and go to Jinwang Mansion."

The face of the guard in the center of the hall changed, and he stared at the figure of resistance, quite surprised.

"His Royal Highness, now Li Xian is bound to be pushed to the forefront. If we go forward with such fanfare, isn't it..."

Halfway through the conversation, it was immediately interrupted by Le Ke.

"It's okay."

"A person who can set off a huge wave in the court must also have his ability. We Wu Wangfu will not suffer from paying a visit to such a person!"

Seeing the figure crossing the threshold, the guard froze in place, not knowing what to say.

With his head down, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the house, frowning, asking and answering himself.

"This huge wave is criticized by all the ministers. Why would His Highness King Wu bother to provoke such a person?"

In front of the plaque of "Wu Wangfu" hung high, a five-horse carriage set off slowly.

He kicked up the dust and went straight to the Prince Jin's mansion.
