Chapter 87 Zhenguan Ceremony
Chapter 87 Zhenguan Ceremony
Fatty Li was in a hurry.
He was really scared.
He used to look down on the cripple, but after being bullied by him repeatedly, he began to keep his distance from him.
Do not provoke others if you can avoid it, and don't give others any reason to cause trouble.
who knows.
There is no way to hide, people are coming to you on their own initiative.
"Brother Prince."
Fatty Li is always afraid of the consequences and has a bit of a stress reaction.
"Greenbird."
Li Chengqian said: "As your elder brother, I am being harsh on you in some ways."
"But don't worry about it. I told you that you are my favorite among my brothers."
love me?
You love shit.
You just want to kill me, right?
Li Pangpang remained unmoved and refused to fall into Li Chengqian's trap.
"Beating is love, scolding is care."
"Brother can't let you go astray."
Li Chengqian continued, "You are brilliant in writing, talented, and extremely intelligent."
"It's rare for my Li family to have such a great talent like you, how can I not love you."
Fatty Li felt a little dizzy.
That sounds nice, but why did you say that?
"That's right, Qingque."
Li Chengqian asked, "How is the compilation of the Comprehensive Geography going?"
"Is there any progress? When will it be completed?"
Li Pangpang immediately became alert and subconsciously kept his distance. "Guodizhi" was his last trump card.
Could it be that he is thinking about his contribution?
"Why is it hard to say?"
Li Chengqian did not let the little fat man go, and asked: "Your Majesty has given you many advantages, and you haven't finished compiling it yet. Aren't you failing His Majesty's grace?"
"No... not."
Li Pangpang said hurriedly: "It's almost complete."
"Oh……!"
Li Chengqian reached out and patted Li Pangpang's big belly, making a bang bang sound, "Not bad, the movements are pretty fast."
"You are worthy of being the great sage of my Li family."
Li Pangpang's face turned red. Who dared to take a picture of his big belly?
Even his father didn't take any action, but he was slapped by the cripple in public several times, making that gurgling sound.
How embarrassed he is.
Li Er and Zhangsun Wuji were both observing the interaction between the two brothers. Although they didn't know what they were talking about, they could tell from Li Pangpang's embarrassment that he was at a disadvantage.
I've been tricked by this bastard before.
How could Qingque be a match?
"Prince."
"Greenbird."
"What are you talking about?"
Li Er asked.
Changsun Wuji found it strange. His Majesty called Qingque by his nickname, why not call Crown Prince Gaoming?
He looked at Li Er with a strange look.
"His Majesty."
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "I was talking to Qingque about the Comprehensive Geography."
"Qingque is the great saint of my Li family."
"It hasn't been long, and the compilation is almost finished."
Ok?
Great Sage?
No, why do I feel like something is wrong when you, the prince, say these words?
But on second thought, I felt that there was nothing wrong with it. The prince said that the King of Wei was a great sage, and when he said it in the tone of a king, it was the difference in their status that was reflected.
"Father."
Fatty Li said hurriedly, "The Comprehensive Geography compiled by this son is almost finished. I hope you will read it when the time comes."
"it is good."
Li Er smiled and said, "The prince said that you are the great saint of my Li family, and it is true."
"I will see it myself then."
Li Pangpang's eyes were almost narrowed into slits.
It would be better if you could not take a picture of the lame person's hand.
My belly is not your drum, why do you like to pat it so much?
"His Majesty."
Li Chengqian stopped. Li Pangpang's soft elasticity was so comfortable that he couldn't let go.
He said loudly: "Qingque has made great contributions in compiling the Comprehensive Geography, and I think he should be rewarded handsomely."
Li Pangpang's expression froze, Li Er's expression changed slightly, and the others were also quite surprised.
Everyone knows that the relationship between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei is not as harmonious as it seems.
Why is the prince suddenly asking for a reward on behalf of the King of Wei?
This shouldn't be the case.
Shouldn't we try to reduce the King of Wei's contributions as much as possible?
Li Er hesitated. He couldn't quite figure out Li Chengqian's thoughts. He asked tentatively, "How much reward do you think the prince should give?"
Fatty Li quickly said, "Father, I don't want any reward. This is what I should do..."
"Hey, Qingque, what you said is wrong."
Li Chengqian interrupted, "Any meritorious service must be rewarded. You have done a great thing for the Tang Dynasty. How can you not want a reward?"
"Haven't you heard that Zigong redeemed someone?"
"If you don't give me a reward, who will contribute to the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
Everyone nodded secretly, thinking that what the prince said was right.
You, King Wei, do not ask for rewards when you do good things.
If we do something in the future and accept rewards, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?
"I……!"
Li Pangpang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
He is not good at responding to situations in the first place, and if there weren't people around to analyze things for him, he would still be in the dark about many things.
"Your Highness is right. Merits should be rewarded."
Li Er said: "Although you haven't completed the Comprehensive Geography, I can see Qingque's intentions."
"Qingque, what do you want?"
"Just say it."
Li Pangpang glared and said, "Father, can you give me what I want?"
Li Chengqian continued, "Your Majesty, the reward cannot be vulgar." "How can it not be vulgar?" Li Er asked.
Li Chengqian did not give a direct answer, but asked Li Pangpang, "Qingque, after the "Comprehensive Geography", you should have some free time, right?"
"Right now, my mind is on writing and I haven't thought about the future yet." Li Pangpang said with embarrassment.
Snapped!
Li Chengqian slapped Li Pangpang on the belly and said happily, "Pregnant."
What's got it.
I'm pregnant just because I'm belly big, don't talk nonsense.
"Your Majesty, I have an idea."
Li Chengqian said in a clear and serious voice: "The Tang Dynasty is going to compile a comprehensive book that brings together the classics of all dynasties in China."
"I've already thought of a name."
He paused, and said in a loud voice: "The Zhenguan Ceremony!"
"Your Majesty, Greenbird."
"What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Er's expression became extremely serious.
Changsun Wuji's eyelids also twitched.
Zhenguan means upright and honest.
"The Grand Ceremony of Zhenguan" absolutely conforms to Your Majesty's ideas.
Li Pangpang was stunned. He didn't expect that the cripple would entrust such an important matter to him?
For a moment, he didn't know whether to agree or refuse.
Li Chengqian was calm and composed.
It’s actually very simple to deal with Fatty Li.
Since you have achieved success in literature, I will send you on the path of literature.
Compiling the "Zhenguan Encyclopedia" will not be completed in one or two years.
With Li Pangpang focusing all his attention on the ceremony, how could he consider other things?
Li Chengqian is not called a great sage for nothing.
If we take out the "Guo Di Zhi", the great sage is just a compliment, but if we take out the "Zhen Guan Da Dian", it is a little closer to the great sage.
"Qingque, can you shoulder it?"
Li Er asked hesitantly.
If it could be compiled into a classic, the evaluation of his literary and political achievements would undoubtedly be taken to a higher level.
Before he knew it, Li Chengqian had another idea and easily took control of Li Er and Li Pangpang as well.
Zhang Sun Wuji offered his help and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhenguan Encyclopedia required extensive reading and compilation of classics from past dynasties, which is not an easy task."
"Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is extremely intelligent, he is still young. Your Majesty can place high hopes on him, but don't go too far."
"I think we should find a person of high moral character, broad knowledge and talent to take charge."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Li became anxious, "Father, I am capable of taking on the responsibility."
"Your son dares to issue a military order."
Li Chengqian gave the old fox a look, and it was a good use of the provocation.
Changsun Wuji felt a little guilty.
The King of Wei was also his nephew.
But now I have to work with another nephew, and we have to concentrate on revising the book.
"Father!"
Li Lizhi shouted crisply: "Fourth brother is the smartest. He is definitely not like what uncle said, that he cannot take the position."
"The Comprehensive Geography is so difficult, but my fourth brother is almost done with it."
"This shows that Fourth Brother is very talented. The Crown Prince also said that Fourth Brother is a great saint."
"Our Li family's great saint is more than capable of compiling the Zhenguan Canon."
"Could it be that, instead of giving such a major event to our own Great Saint, we should give it to others?"
Sin ah.
What a sin.
Li Chengqian didn't even have the heart to pat Li Pangpang's belly, so he stroked it gently instead.
Isn't it a bit too much for so many of us to bully Li Pangpang?
It’s not too much.
This is to give credit to Li Pangpang.
Let him achieve greater success in literature.
"Father, I think it's okay too."
Princess Gaoyang said happily: "Our Li family has never produced any talented people."
"It is said that good things should be kept within the family. Fourth Brother has such high attainments in literature, why don't we help him become even more outstanding?"
"The eldest brother is doing this for the good of the fourth brother."
"If Fourth Brother succeeds in compiling this book, we will all be proud."
"We won't agree to give it to anyone else."
Gao Yang was very straightforward, "If that teacher, the crazy scholar, dares to yell in front of me in the future, I will pull my fourth brother out."
"Hehe, are you as capable as my fourth brother?"
After hearing this, Fatty Li showed a humble look and waved his hands quickly, "Not really, Gao Yang, not really."
Fang Yiai had an illusion of who he was and what he was doing.
It sounds like everyone is doing this for the good of King Wei.
But why do I always feel like there's something weird going on?
Li Er pointed at everyone and said with a smile: "You guys."
"Instead of studying hard to make progress, you put your hopes on Qingque to restore your reputation."
"It's really a rotten tree that can't be carved."
"That's fine."
He sighed and said, "Qingque, this matter is settled for now."
"After you have completed the Comprehensive Geography, take a break and then start compiling the Zhenguan Encyclopedia."
"My Li family's great sage, please don't let me down."
Fatty Li bowed excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you."
"You should also thank the prince. If he hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't know how to reward you in a non-tacky way."
Li Er's words surprised Li Chengqian a little.
Have you changed your personality?
"Qingque thanks you, big brother Crown Prince."
Whether it was sincere or pretended, Li Chengqian accepted the thanks.
"Qingque, from now on, if you need any classics, just come to the East Palace to get them. Don't be polite to me."
