In the middle of summer nights, fireflies are flying and the cool breeze is slow.
The evening breeze takes away the heat left over from the day, which is the coolest time of the day.
It was late at night, but the candles were still burning in the study of Chengqian in the East Palace.
Cheng Qian, dressed in a single-gauze robe, sat on a wicker chair with a letter in his hand.
The letter was sent from faraway Lingnan and came from his teacher Li Chao.
In the letter, Li Chao recounted the experience of quelling the rebellion in Lingnan, but Li Chao told him that although the rebellion had been put down, Lingnan had not been settled.
On the contrary, Lingnan is facing a very severe test, and the court wants to change the land and return to the stream, and the biggest resistance is not those slang fangs, but those Han chieftains.
Lingnan is strong and powerful led by the three major families of Feng Ning and Chen, and it is not easy to change the situation of Lingnan's separation.
Li Chao also replied to him about the West Canal in a letter, and Li Chao told the prince that since the emperor did not agree to build the canal now, he would not build it for the time being.
However, some people can be arranged to do some preliminary work, such as surveying and mapping.
The site selection for the dam repair of the reservoir and the measurement of the river section for the excavation of the pass are not only preliminary work, but also some more powerful data.
When the time comes, it will naturally come to pass.
Li Chao also told the prince a lot of Lingnan customs in the letter.
The chamberlain came in and whispered the hour.
"Your Highness, the hour is not early, please rest your Highness early, and you will have to go to the morning court early tomorrow morning to learn government affairs."
Cheng Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked down at the letter in his hand.
Studying government affairs, studying government affairs, I really want to do something, but I refuse to do anything.
He could only bring a pair of eyes and a pair of ears, but he couldn't speak.
He hated the situation.
He has been studying since his father, Yuji, and has been studying for nearly four years.
"What's the use of learning these things every day, it's better to go out of Beijing and take a look.
Sitting in this palace, what I see will always be only a corner of the capital.
I can't even see the life of the people in the market, and I can't talk about governing the world. ” The chamberlain listened to the prince say these words in a panic, and did not dare to speak.
"I want to leave this palace, I want to go to Lingnan, I want to see the south of the Tang Dynasty, see the customs there, and see the prosperous sea trade."
Cheng Qian seemed to mumble to himself.
"The teacher was in the southwest, and a rebellion in Lingnan was put down.
Now it is necessary to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream, and turn the land of Lingnan into the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, which is an exciting cause. ” "Your Highness, it's not too early, go to sleep."
The chamberlain was sincerely afraid, if the prince's words spread out and reached the emperor's ears, he didn't know how angry he would be, and the people who accompanied the prince would definitely be punished.
Cheng Qian looked at the burning candle flame and shook his head.
"I can't sleep alone."
He shook his head, "You all treat Gu as a child, your father is like this, the prime minister is like this, the officials of the East Palace are like this, and even you are like this."
Staying in this palace, studying and studying every day, it is extremely boring, and it is not allowed to go out of the palace alone.
If you want to do something, you can't do this, you can't do that, this prince doesn't mean anything. ” After a while, Cheng Qian said no more.
He waved his hand, "You go down, Lone will rest in the study tonight." ” This night, Cheng Qian tossed and turned, and the more he thought about it, the more restless he became.
Dawn.
Cheng Qian wiped his eyes, which were still a little red, walked to the desk and wrote a letter on the table, then changed into a set of civilian clothes and went out directly.
The chamberlain greeted him, "Your Highness, where are you going, don't you go to the court?"
"Lone is not feeling well today, so he will not go to the court to learn governance.
Prepare a car for me and go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Pingyang. ” Upper East District of Hanjing, Binh Duong Princess's Mansion.
Li Xiuning looked at his nephew Cheng Qian, who suddenly arrived, with some surprise.
"Your Highness, how can you have time to come to my house early in the morning."
"I miss my aunt, and I miss Eleven Lang."
Cheng Qian entered the hall with a smile, gave Pingyang a salute first, and then went straight to see Li Shiyi Lang, who was still in the rocking chair.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've gained a lot of weight."
"yes, if it goes on like this, I won't be able to hold it."

Cheng Qian teased Li Shiyi Lang and said, "The teacher has made great contributions in Lingnan again." ” "I've also heard that he was born to work hard.
Originally, His Majesty gave him soldiers and horses and asked him to lay his own fiefdom, but he went to Liaodong first and took Beisha.
Then he went to Liuqiu to toss for a long time, and it is said that he also formed an alliance with those Shanyi and called him a brother.
Yue Guo has not yet gone, and let His Majesty arrest Zhuang Ding and send him to Pingling Lingnan Rebellion.
Fortunately, those Lingnan people are only silver-like wax spear heads, which are useless. ” "That's the teacher is powerful, if you are an ordinary person, this matter must not be so easy to settle.
By the way, I received a letter from the teacher saying that my aunt was also going to Lingnan."
Li Xiuning nodded.
"It's annoying to stay in Hanjing, I miss him."
"Is my aunt going to take Eleven Lang with her?"
"If you don't bring it, you will stay in Hanjing, just to wean him, or I am in Beijing, I'm afraid he will never be able to wean."
Cheng Qian nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Auntie, how about taking me with you, I also want to go to Lingnan." ” "You also go to Lingnan, Your Majesty agreed," Li Xiuning asked in surprise.
"I haven't told Your Majesty, but I do want to go to Lingnan."
"Aren't you fooling around?"
"Auntie, you can take me with you, I'm going crazy every day in the palace."
Cheng Qian prayed.
Li Xiuning shook his head.
"You are His Royal Highness the Prince, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the foundation of the country.
You think you can go to Lingnan if you want to, even if I take you away, but before the front foot goes out, His Majesty will immediately send someone to chase after him. ” Cheng Qian hung his head depressedly.
"Okay, I'll go back to the East Palace first."
Li Xiuning sent Cheng Qian to the door and took his nephew's hand, "I know that children of your age can't sit still, but you are still young, even if the prince is twelve crowned, you have not yet reached the time of crowning, and you are a child if you are not crowned."
You also have to calm down, read more and study more, if you can't even endure this, how can you rule the world in the future?"
Cheng Qian nodded listlessly, and then got into the carriage and returned to the palace.
Just halfway through, Cheng Qian suddenly turned his horse's head, "Go, go out of the city." ” "Your Highness, where are you going?"
the guards beside him asked in surprise.
"It's okay to go with Lonely," Cheng Qian finished beating and left.
The guards had to follow closely.
Palace.
Li Shimin, who had just come down from the court meeting, was changing his clothes, and Wang Chengen came in to report.
"Your Majesty, this is sent by the waiter in the East Palace, and it is said that it was found on the desk of His Highness's study."
Li Shimin took a look, and his beard was cocked.
"What about the undertaker?"
"Just now the city gate guards reported that His Highness took a team of guards to beat horses and leave Beijing."
"Rabbit cub, it's really bold, he dared to run away from home, and he turned against the sky" Li Shimin was furious.
"Someone, send an order to the gods, send a team of cavalry, and immediately catch the rabbit cub for me.
If you dare to be strong, you will be tied up and brought back. ” Li Shimin was really angry, this prince actually ran away from home without saying a word.
Left such a letter, saying that he was going to Lingnan.
The world is so big, he wants to see it.
It's really lawless.
"This little bastard, I want to teach him a good lesson."
Standing in the hall, Li Shimin was furious, and a group of palace maids all retreated far away and knelt to the side, not daring to gasp.
After a while, Li Shimin's anger subsided a little.
He took out the letter and read it again, it was very long, but he had only read the first few lines just now, and he couldn't read it anymore.
Now that he finished reading it slowly, Li Shimin pinched his chin.
"This little bunny."
Only this time the sentence is not so angry.

"Forget it, I'm going to call him back myself."
Li Shimin shook his head, "If he really wants to go, then he can't say goodbye like this, he has to say hello to me and Guanyin before leaving, and I can't let him just take a few people south, he has to bring enough guards, and he has to have a name." ” Wang Chengen was surprised, he didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only ten years old, Lingnan is thousands of miles away, and such a vicious place, how can His Highness be allowed to get into danger" Li Shimin said as he walked out, "Actually, the prince is more precocious, besides, what the prince said makes sense, I underestimate him too much, and it is not good for him to do this."
Think about when I was young, the first emperor was an official everywhere, originally in Luoyang as a guard Siqing, and later successively served as Lou Fu Taishou and Xingyang Taishou, I also ran around when I was young. ” "When the emperor was the official Xingyang Taishou, I also suffered from eye disease at that time and was almost blind.
When Taiyuan raised the army, I was only 16 years old.
It was when he traveled with the emperor that he saw more and more and increased his experience.
Otherwise, how could I have suffered a lot before I led the army to fight at the age of sixteen, so I subconsciously didn't want the prince to suffer anymore, but I forgot that doing so is not all a good thing.
The prince is more thorough than I thought, and it would be better for him to go out and see things for a long time.
In the past, he didn't follow Li Chao to play around, which also greatly changed his weak temperament. ” Wang Chengen listened quietly.
Out of the palace, Li Shimin took the guards and rode the royal horse all the way out of Beijing.
Li Shimin was fast, and it was only more than half an hour after he left Beijing, and he caught up with Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian rode on the horse, and said to his father who came with some persistence, "I won't go back." ” Li Shimin rode forward, lifted the prince from the horse as soon as he stretched out his hand, pressed it on his horse, and slapped him on the ass first, slapping him many times in a row.
Then he said, "Little rabbit, you are becoming more and more lawless, just ran away with a few people, have you thought about the consequences You are going to Lingnan, did I say that I would not let you go."
Even if you want to go, you have to discuss with me first, and leave with your mother.
What are you like this?"
"Little bastard, I'll kill you."
Cheng Qian couldn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and hurriedly asked, "My father allowed me to go to Lingnan" "I didn't say no, but I didn't say yes either, depending on my attitude.
I'll have to convince your mother to agree first." t1706231537:
