Chapter 210 Li Er sees his son-in-law
Seeing his eldest son calmly going out to work in the six ministries, Li Er was in a good mood and stopped reviewing the memorials. He simply left Zhu Ciyu's pen and brought the wind to the empress's residence to the Empress's residence. As a father, nothing is more proud of than watching his son succeed, so he immediately came to share the joy with his first wife.
After listening quietly, the queen could not stop nodding. She finally let go of her worries about her eldest son. All of this was attributed to Du Shaoqing, the child, so the queen asked: "Your Majesty, Cheng Qian can cultivate oneself and morality. Thanks to Shaoqing's help, I heard Wu'er say that the remaining poison of Shaoqing's body has been cleared. Do you think you should arrange a seat for him as soon as possible and let him enter the court earlier, and can you help you?"
The queen is a typical example of helping her son-in-law get an official position. It can be seen that Du Shaoqing's position in the queen's heart. Emperor Li Er sighed in his heart, but did not dare to tell the truth to the queen.
When the emperor sent the palace masters to the underworld to investigate, it was not because he returned without success. Even if there was no direct evidence, why couldn’t Zhang Chuchen find out the news that Baiqisi and the masters in the palace know?
After Li Er got the results, he knew that the person behind the scenes was quite energetic. Gradually, he moved his gaze to his elder brother-in-law Changsun Wuji. It was not Li Erhu who was suspicious, but he felt a familiar smell from this seamless and neat technique.
Although Li Er, as a friend for many years, did not want to believe that his old friend would attack a junior, as an emperor, he had to distinguish everything at this time. If it was him, it would be embarrassing. It was not about how to punish him. After all, this was his first confidant and it was impossible to punish him, but about making choices.
The old man Changsun Wuji and the new man Du Shaoqing are in a difficult position. Since the two have formed a mortal hatred, they will inevitably fight openly and secretly. If they are allowed to live in the court together, there will be more trouble over time. So after thinking about it, Li Er decided to press the young Du Shaoqing. After all, his brother-in-law is his own right-hand man and an inseparable existence. Du Shaoqing seems to not like to stay in the court, and Li Er comforts himself in this way.
But today when his wife asked about this, Li Er could only hide it and vaguely say, "Don't I want to use him more? But that boy was born a lazy guy and took leave from me for two years with the excuse of cultivating his body. The Imperial Hospital was unwilling to come. How could he be willing to enter the court and work hard for the country?"
The queen nodded, thinking that Du Shaoqing had this temper, "It's better for me to beat him. As a prince consort, how can I not contribute to the country?"
Li Er looked at his first wife who was very dedicated to helping, and was struggling with how to make things happen. Thinking of his eldest son, Li Er said with a lightning light: "It's not okay to force your head if you don't drink water. Since that kid can do good in Chengqian's education, it means he has the talent for educating people.
I have an idea whether to send Xiaoliu Li Yan to his subordinates for education. This kid has caused a lot of trouble in the past two years. After four or five masters, he couldn't bear to see him. The day before yesterday, Concubine Yang said that she wanted Quan Wanji to go to Li Yan's fiefdom as the chief minister and teach him on his behalf. I see that the old-fashioned Quan Wanji may not be able to educate Xiaoliu.
Guanyin Bi, do you want to call Xiaoliu back and throw it to Du Shaoqing to try?"
There are many people who can be competent for the education of a boy. Although the queen is puzzled, why did Your Majesty let the big shot be outside and not use it, she still echoed: "Shaoqing does have a trick, but for Li Yan's education, Your Majesty should go to Yang Concubine Yang to discuss it. She is the child's biological mother, and I am unwilling to make decisions for others."
Li Er laughed: "Okay, I'll go and discuss it with Concubine Yang. Speaking of which, Du Shaoqing is Li Yan's brother-in-law, not an outsider, so it's not a problem to manage it. If he can teach Xiaoliu well, I will make him the crown prince's junior teacher."
This position is one of the nine ministers of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. In the Tang Dynasty, he was a second-rank official. You should know that the Shangshu left and right-rank official position was also a second-rank official position. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers became virtual positions and had no real power. They usually gave names to old and virtuous ministers.
But at this time, Li Er promised to Du Shaoqing that if he could really do it, it would be enough to show Li Er's affection for Du Shaoqing. It can be seen that the emperor was also afraid that he would be too much, which made Du Shaoqing the heart of the talented man.
So on the second day after Du Shaoqing and his family returned from Du Ling, the emperor and his wife drove to the Earl's Mansion in Zheng County, Chang'an with Concubine Yang. Du Shaoqing was still surprised, what kind of combination is this lineup? Even if the family members of their parents came to see their daughter, they shouldn't have brought Concubine Yang with them.
After everyone finished the ceremony, the queen pulled her little daughter Aiko and explained: "I am bringing Aiko to the Japanese Palace to miss Xiao Xuanxuan. Let's talk, let's go and see Xuanxuan."
After saying that, he asked his daughter Li Lizhi to take her to the back house. Du Xuanxuan was busy feeding her pet tiger Xiao Miaomiao. Since winter has begun, the tiger has become more lazy, just like the hibernating snake, and wants to stay in a warm place.
Xiao Miaomiao, who has been more than seven months old, has grown up. She has grown up in size and is almost as big as a domestic wolf dog. Xiao Xuanxuan can no longer hold her. Of course, she doesn't like to hold her anymore. Every day, this girl diligently wakes up the sleepy little Miaomiao to feed her, just to make the other party grow up quickly so that she can ride her own horse.
But Du Xuanxuan couldn't even pull her up when she was full. Later, she simply bought another room next to the kitchen in the mansion to build a nest for the tiger, which would make it warmer.
The queen pulled Yizi to the back house, and heard her granddaughter's dissatisfied shout from afar: "Little Miaomiao, open your mouth a little, I'll pick up food for you, you even eat my hands, it's sticky and covered with your saliva. If you don't obey, you won't give you food."
It seemed as if he heard someone coming outside the door, and the tiger roared twice inside. Xiao Xuanxuan got angry, stood up and stepped on the tiger's big head, scolding: "If you don't have a good meal, why are you yelling? Do you still dare to scare me?"
The queen stood at the door and watched her granddaughter bullying a tiger. She looked so cute. Moreover, the tiger was very spiritual and knew to warn someone.
Little Shizi let go of her mother's hand and trotted up, "Sister Xuanxuan, I'm here to play with you!"
When Xiao Xuanxuan turned around, it was her grandmother and Yizi who happily let go of the tiger under her feet. Xiao Miaomiao rolled and dodged. When the two little guys agreed to come and feed Xiao Miaomiao, all the things in the tiger food bowl had been swept away.
Xuanxuan looked at Xiao Miaomiao who was lying on the ground pretending to sleep in surprise, and said to herself in confusion: "No, I remember that I haven't finished feeding it for a long time. Why are there no food now?"
It was a smart tiger that ate it all quickly, and when it was time to eat, he was so hungry that he felt uncomfortable. But the little master liked to pick it up and feed it with chopsticks. Before the half-basin was fed, the food would have been cold. So while the little master was not paying attention, of course, he had to rush to finish it while it was hot.
Empress Changsun saw all this and thought to herself that this tiger is too smart, and she knows how to pretend to be sleepy?
But Xiao Xuanxuan then comforted Yizi and said, "Forget it, if it's gone, it's gone. I'll ask Uncle Big Tiger to make another basin. Let's feed Xiao Miaomiao with new food."
