Chapter 372 Emperor and Teacher
As soon as the sky was dawn, Li Chengqian wore a coarse cloth and drove out of the palace to Mingde Gate in the crown prince's car.
The place where the Chang'an sewer construction started.
Although the beginning of autumn is already in the solar term, the weather in Chang'an City is far from being as bright as the autumn weather.
Today, Li Chengqian left the palace to start the construction and dig the first milling soil for the Chang'an sewer. All the people, officials, relatives and relatives of the entire Chang'an City came out to participate in the construction of the sewer.
Before Li Chengqian traveled through time, the crown prince's public activities were mainly to go to the Imperial College for the resignation, or accompany the emperor to sacrifice to heaven. As for the emperor's relatives and peasants, the crown prince rarely participated.
However, since the winter of the previous year, Li Chengqian frequently appeared in front of the people of Chang'an City, first comforting the orphanage, then rescued disasters everywhere in Chang'an City, personally led a team to fish in the river, held a banquet for thousands of old people to discuss politics, and went to the frontier to fight.
After a series of publicity in the East Palace Bafeng Hall, these series of events have made people living in Chang'an City regard Li Chengqian as a familiar neighbor beside them.
Li Chengqian slowly walked out of the car with a bright iron mill. The civil and military officials and noble families in front of the car lined up to greet him. This specification was definitely as good as the emperor's tour.
This is Li Chengqian's status in Chang'an City after the rebellion was put down.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Li Chengqian looked up at the well-dressed ministers and said lightly: "Flat!"
Then he walked down and said directly to Hao Chujun: "Where are the people in various places you invited?"
Li Chengqian arranged for Hao Chujun to invite a group of representatives of the people to work with him one day in advance.
"Please come here!"
At a moment, a group of people in civilian clothes walked up with the tools of digging up.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
When the people saw Li Chengqian kneeling down to salute.
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Get up quickly and dig a sewer for our Chang'an City with the Lone King."
As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the east of Zhuque Street, followed by a group of ordinary people.
All the civil and military ministers were left aside by Li Chengqian. Look at me, and I look at you, and I am all stupid.
After a while, Li Daozong murmured: "Why is Your Highness the Crown Prince really digging the sewer?"
"His Royal Highness is the deputy governor of the country. How can one be the only example of a civil servant to do such a vulgar thing?"
Just when the ministers in front of him were helpless, they suddenly heard someone behind him say indignantly.
When the ministers turned around and saw that it was Xiao Jun, the counselor, ran out angrily, obviously to pursue Li Chengqian.
Seeing this, high-ranking officials such as Gao Shilian couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seeing that Li Chengqian's face was no longer satisfied with him, wouldn't he be scolded when he went to provoke him?
Zhuque Street is 150 meters wide. Li Chengqian and his group walked east from the middle, walking with Qingtian, the people around them.
The people next to them also responded enthusiastically.
"The Lone King said that he had waived the corvee service of the people in Chang'an City that day, and now he asked everyone to dig a canal. No one has any objection?"
After the conversation was opened, Li Chengqian asked tentatively.
"No objection, no objection, everyone understands that we all live in Chang'an, and it will be beneficial for everyone to build a sewer..."
After hearing this answer, Li Chengqian was suspicious whether it was Hao Chujun who taught him, so he turned his head and looked over.
Today, Hao Chujun also came in an official robe. At this moment, he followed Li Chengqian tightly while tucking his robe, trying to clean up more easily and dig a hole later.
Li Chengqian ignored him and continued, "Whoever says something strange, please tell the Lone King, don't let the Lone King be deceived by some people."
As soon as Li Chengqian said this, the man who was just speaking changed his face so scared that his face changed. He said in fear: "I dare not deceive His Highness the Crown Prince, everyone is really very happy."
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Okay, as long as the people can understand the truth, let's build it beautifully like a garden..."
"Your Highness, please stop and listen to me."
Li Chengqian was talking as Xiao Jun ran from behind and shouted loudly.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but stop and looked back at Xiao Jun, wearing a big red official robe, running towards him panting.
Li Chengqian didn't know Xiao Jun, so he turned around and looked at Hao Chujun. Hao Chujun knew what was going on.
Xiao Jun ran to Li Chengqian, took a breath, with a solemn expression and a loud voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the deputy governor of the country, and his example in the world, and every move is in line with etiquette and integrity.
Today, I went out of the palace to participate in sewer construction, which was already beyond the rules. Now I don’t wear the rituals of the crown prince’s rituals, and I forgot to talk and laugh with the common people.
It is really unconventional to have to personally perform a battle of vulgar and powerful men later.
I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to put down the iron mill immediately, change the crown prince's dress and meet the subjects, and show them to the righteous way."
As he said that, he bowed deeply and then went on.
Li Chengqian almost got angry and laughed. Xiao Jun thought he was?
I'm so proud of myself and show my presence!
Li Chengqian waited for the ministers who followed behind him with a cold face and then taught him a lesson when he approached.
Some ministers who caught up later nodded with consent as Xiao Jun criticized Li Chengqian.
Seeing that everyone behind him had arrived, Li Chengqian asked indifferently: "You all listen to Xiao Jun's words, do you agree?"
The ministers above felt like they had eaten shit when they heard this. What does this have to do with us?
It is obvious that Xiao Jun used Li Chengqian to win fame. If he followed Xiao Jun, he would be dealt with by Li Chengqian. If he refuted Xiao Jun, he would be scolded for bullying the big and flattering the small.
This is an eternal problem that has been formed after China’s admonition is not guilty. Anyone who refuses advice is rarely scolded as a fool.
Seeing that the ministers were not talking, Li Chengqian snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "All you all want to protect yourself, don't even distinguish between right and wrong?"
Or do you think the Lone King is a foolish monarch and can't listen to the truth?"
Finally, Li Jing, who was still bearded and bearded, walked out and saluted, "Your Highness, Xiao Jun, as a counselor, is the duty of advising the prince. Besides, the ministers of advising all dynasties have been exaggerating, but the power to listen to advisors is not in the lord. If Your Highness thinks that Xiao Jun's advice can be used as soon as possible, and there is no need to investigate it in depth."
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "It is because he can talk nonsense with the court's Fenglu, and he doesn't have to bear any responsibility?"
The Tang Dynasty did not raise such a person, and the orphan king ordered the orphan to advise the doctor Xiao Jun to be abdicated as a commoner without talent and virtue.
Xiao Jun was shocked when he heard this: "Everything that the prince's advice, even if he is not used, cannot be mistaken and demoted."
"The King Xiao Jungu demoted you not because you have no talent and no virtue, and are not worthy of being a counselor, nor because you have given advice." Li Chengqian said bluntly.
Xiao Junwen said sadly and angryly: "If you want to add a crime, you will be irresponsible. Why are you a person with no talent or virtue in your origin?"
Li Chengqian asked him after hearing this, "Xiao Jun, even if you are from a famous family, you are talented and virtuous? Then the Lonely King asked you, which etiquette and law of the Tang Dynasty are not prepared for the crown prince to talk and laugh with the common people, and which etiquette and law of the crown prince to dig the canal himself?"
Xiao Jun also stubbornly heard this and said, "Although there is no explicit prohibition on the Tang Dynasty, since ancient times, all the sages and sages have been the most important etiquette. Should the crown prince follow the examples of sages?"
"Which sage are you talking about?"
"Natural Saint Kong!"
When Confucius was alive
Li Chengqian looked at the ministers and smiled faintly when he heard this, "You also tell me, should the Lone King follow Emperor Shun, or should I follow Confucius?"
