Chapter 1314 Reality
Li Chengqian spent the New Year's Eve of the tenth year of Zhenguan almost in pain. The old man's targeting made him feel like he was bound to his hands and feet. Everything was so awkward. There were even many times when he wanted to throw his plate and quit his life and took his wife and children to the countryside for retirement.
Never had any New Year's Eve, and this situation happened now. Several brothers were rewarded, but they did not come to him. All the ministers were full of delicacies, but when they arrived, they had four dishes and one soup...
There were countless such things, and it seemed that Li Chengqian's status in the eyes of the old man overnight fell sharply, and even the gatekeeper was slightly inferior to that of the gatekeeper.
So Li Chengqian had a delicious meal at the dinner on New Year's Eve. He gritted his teeth and persisted until midnight in the surprised eyes of countless people. He withdrew from the banquet in the name of being unable to drink and returned to his East Palace and became sulked.
"Why is Your Highness so angry? But what are you worried about?" A small banquet was held in the East Palace, hosted by Yang Yuxin on behalf of Li Chengqian. Those present were all direct descendants who were in Chang'an and had not enough positions to enter the Golden Palace.
They saw Li Chengqian's depressed look in their eyes. They all felt puzzled and asked curiously.
"I'm fine, I just drink a lot of wine. Just go back and rest for a while. You guys continue, I won't accompany you anymore." Li Chengqian naturally would not say his frustration on such an occasion. After saying it perfunctorily, he turned to the study.
"Your Highness..." Su Mei, who accompanied Li Chengqian all the way back from Tai Chi Palace, was worried and didn't know how to persuade him. She could only accompany him in depression. She wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Xiao Li shook his head.
"You go back and rest, let me stay alone for a while." In front of the study door, Li Chengqian stopped, looked at Su Mei beside him, and smiled reluctantly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just can't think of some things, it's better tomorrow!"
"Then, I'll make a bowl of porridge for you. You didn't eat much in the palace just now. You must be hungry now." Li Chengqian was neglected in the Tai Chi Palace. Su Mei, who had been with Empress Changsun, saw it all. He knew that he was in a bad mood, so he could only express his concern from other aspects.
Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, and finally did not let Su Mei down, and nodded and smiled at her: "Have more."
"Okay." Seeing Li Chengqian's smile appearing on his face, Su Mei felt much more relaxed and turned around and left with her maid.
Li Chengqian sighed after his wife left.
In fact, His Majesty Li Er was not wrong. Since Li Chengqian arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he has basically not suffered much setbacks and has gradually developed his habit of being self-centered.
Perhaps he is approachable in normal times, but this further illustrates the superior mentality in his heart.
Because the four words approachable are themselves a problem, that is, people with higher status and status than others must have contact with people with lower status, and those with lower status, that is, they will use these four words.
So although Li Chengqian didn't want to admit it, in fact, he has indeed overestimated himself infinitely for a while. He always had a mentality that could crush the ancients in intelligence, and always thought that all his actions were right.
It was precisely because of this that the old man suddenly began to neglect him, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
"Your Highness, Songtsen Gampo asks for your meeting!" Li Chengqian in the study was complaining, and the announcement from the guards guarded at the door woke him up.
"Let him come in." Li Chengqian shook his head and tried his best to suppress those negative emotions.
"Your Highness, what are you worried about?" Songtsen Gampo came in from outside the study room. After seeing the ceremony, he looked at Li Chengqian for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"How did you know?" Li Chengqian asked quietly.
"Time, emotion." Songtsen Gampo found a place to sit down, looked at Li Chengqian again: "Don't your highness know that your mood is very abnormal recently?"
"I don't think so." Li Chengqian didn't want to lose face in front of Songtsen Gampo, so he strongly denied it.
However, Songtsen Gampo did not want to let him go. He smiled and continued, "The dinner at Tai Chi Palace has not ended yet, but Your Highness came back early, which can explain many problems. Moreover, you have not cared much about anything in the past few days. Even if you care about it, you just asked the previous question. Do you think this is normal?"
Songtsen Gampo really stabbed Li Chengqian with a knife. Comrade Li, who was already very aggrieved, slapped the table with a slap: "Yes, I am in a bad mood for a while. My father has collected my salary and rewarded Xiaotai and the others. On New Year's Eve... But so what? If you want to see a joke, then be careful."
"Crazy..." Li Chengqian's angry expression aroused the alertness of the guards outside, and he knocked open the door and rushed in.
Songtsen Gampo didn't wait for Li Chengqian to speak, and first said: "You all go out, there's nothing you have to do here."
"This..." The guards stood there a little embarrassedly and didn't know what to do. Songzan is the popular man in front of Li Chengqian. Should he listen to what he said?
"You all go out, there's nothing wrong here." Li Chengqian, who was furious, looked at the awkward guard and waved his hand impatiently.
Although Songtsen Gampo successfully angered him, it did not arouse his intention to kill him, so he just wants to find someone to vent his anger and does not want to kill anyone.
"Your heart is in chaos, and you feel treated unfairly, but you forget who gave you everything you have now." Songtsen Gampo spoke again after all the guards withdrew, but this time he said it was much more serious than what he said just now.
"All this is what I have worked hard for, all of it!" Li Chengqian growled, his face looking a little ferocious.
Anyway, everything has been seen through by Songtsen Gampo, so he let it go. It seems that it is a good choice to find a partner to talk to.
"You once told me that all the world is the king's land, and all the land is the king's minister. Did you forget it in such a short time? Do you think what you do must be rewarded? Do you think that if you get out the train, His Majesty must reward you? It's so funny!"
Songtsen Gampo's mouth was so cold that every word was heart-wrenching, making Li Chengqian speechless.
Yes, in this ancient times when the king asked his ministers to die and the ministers had to die, there seemed to be no equivalent exchange. Everything he did, Li Chengqian, was supposed to be in the eyes of people of this era. Even if Lao Li did not give him any reward, he had to continue to do it.
Because this is in the Tang Dynasty, this is in ancient times, a society where the king let his ministers die, but the ministers have to die!
The author Jun Haoyan recommends a book by a great god: "The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms", a masterpiece of the great god's tomb soil and weeds. By the way, the grass god is much more famous than dangerous. This is a bit like selling an axe in front of Lu Ban's door. I hope to squirt...
