Chapter 281 Embarrassment
When Empress Changsun was chatting with Li Shimin about choosing a concubine, Lin Xuan also came to the palace.
"See Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin waved his hand and asked: "I heard that your college is recruiting students today, so it should be very busy. You are entering the palace at this time, is there something wrong?"
He knew Lin Xuan's character very well. Usually, he was not very willing to go to court, and he would never come to the palace if he had nothing to do.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes, what the hell, wasn't it you who killed him?
"Your Majesty, I'm here because of the college. I don't understand why Your Majesty let His Royal Highness King Wei come to the college. Isn't it embarrassing?" Lin Xuan said with a bitter face.
Li Shimin said with some surprise: "Qingque wants to learn arithmetic from you, why is it difficult for you?"
Of course Li Shimin knew about Li Tai's ambitions, and he had always had a headache.
Now Li Tai is willing to devote his time to learning arithmetic, Li Shimin thinks it is very good.
"Your Majesty, the minister's academy is full of common people's children. His Royal Highness King Wei is a rich man. If he offends King Wei, it will be bad." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and said indifferently: "I have told him not to reveal his identity. Besides, this is Chang'an, nothing will happen."
"But…"
Li Shimin interrupted directly, and said without doubt: "Don't worry about it, I have already agreed, so I can't go back on my word? This matter is settled like this!"
"Yes!" Lin Xuan had no choice but to nod in response.
……
Lin Xuan walked on the Imperial Palace Avenue, his face was full of depression.
"Zi Chu!" Li Chengqian shouted when he saw Lin Xuan just as he arrived at the gate of the palace.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses, looked back, and saw Li Chengqian hurriedly saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Li Chengqian signaled Lin Xuan not to be too polite, and asked with a smile: "Isn't your academy recruiting students today? How come you have time to enter the palace?"
Lin Xuan looked at the eunuchs following behind Li Chengqian and hesitated.
Li Chengqian understood and told them to stay away.
"The king of Wei is going to the minister's academy to learn arithmetic from him." Lin Xuan said with a wry smile.
Li Chengqian was taken aback, and asked: "Father agreed?"
Lin Xuan said depressedly: "If Your Majesty disagrees, will the minister enter the palace?"
Li Chengqian raised his brows and asked: "You entered the palace this time, do you want your father to take back his life?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, it's a pity that His Majesty did not agree."
Li Chengqian frowned deeply. He guessed how much Li Tai was thinking. It seemed that Li Tai still hadn't given up on wooing Lin Xuan.
"It's not true that Qingque wants to learn arithmetic, but it's true that it wants to win you over." Li Chengqian still decided to tell Li Tai's intentions.
Now that Li Shimin has agreed, then the matter is a foregone conclusion.
Telling Lin Xuan of Li Tai's little thoughts also put him on guard, so that it would not be easy for Li Tai to win Lin Xuan over.
Lin Xuan smiled wryly, of course he knew what Li Chengqian said.
If it weren't for this, why should he refuse.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, if His Highness is fine, I will leave first!" Lin Xuan said.
Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment and said: "I really have something to do, I want to ask you to help."
"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Lin Xuan asked.
Li Chengqian said with an unnatural expression: "The queen mother just selected a princess for Gu."
Lin Xuan was taken aback, and congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Highness, the day is approaching. I wonder what His Highness wants you to do?"
He really couldn't figure it out, why did Li Chengqian tell him this.
Could it be that he wanted to escape marriage?
If so, Lin Xuan would not dare to help.
"The queen mother chose the daughter of Secretary Cheng Su Quan. Gu wants you to inquire about her character." Li Chengqian said.
Lin Xuan said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, the person selected by the empress is naturally the top choice. Besides, it is not appropriate for me to handle this matter."
Nima, let him investigate the future princess, if someone finds out, he can be sprayed to death.
Li Chengqian said: "Many people like to pretend, and they only want to know her true character."
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, a court lady gave birth to a son for Li Chengqian, and then died of dystocia.
Although he is a bastard, Li Chengqian likes this son very much.
Born in the imperial palace, he also heard about the fights in the harem.
He wanted to understand Su Wan'er's conduct. If he was as virtuous and virtuous as his mother's queen, he could safely entrust the child to Su Wan'er's care.
If it is some kind of jealous person, he must be on guard.
As for the replacement, he hadn't thought about it.
Lin Xuan didn't know why Li Chengqian insisted on investigating the future princess.
He remembered that in history, the relationship between Li Chengqian and the princess was not very good.
Moreover, it is recorded in history that Li Chengqian favored a Taichangleman who was "beautiful in appearance and good at singing and dancing", and called him Xinxin.
Li Shimin was furious when he heard that, and wanted to kill him.Li Chengqian was very sad, and married his dead male favorite in the palace, and let the palace people pay homage day and night.Li Chengqian erected a monument to the tomb of the tree in the palace, and bestowed official positions on it, and often cried and shed tears for him.Since then, the gap between Li Chengqian and Li Shimin has deepened.
But judging from Li Chengqian's two sons, Li Chengqian was not crooked from the beginning.
It's just that in the later period, due to various reasons, his temperament changed drastically, and he began to raise a male pet.
If I help Li Chengqian, will the direct relationship between Li Chengqian and the Crown Princess improve, and will those things happen again?
Lin Xuan didn't know, but he wanted to try.
"Your Highness, I can only try my best!" Lin Xuan said.
Seeing Lin Xuan agreeing, Li Chengqian said happily, "Thank you, Zichu!"
It's not that he has no other candidates, but he is worried that those people will not dare to do it seriously if they know that they are investigating the future princess.
After Lin Xuan agreed, he regretted it a little, but he had already agreed, and now it was too late to regret it.
……
Lin Xuan left Chang'an City, originally planning to go to the academy.
But after thinking about it, he diverted to the barracks.
Since the horses were ready, the barracks of 1 people trained by Lin Xuan had been moved outside the city.
After all, the barracks in the city are a bit smaller, and training cavalry is relatively noisy.So the cavalry barracks are all outside the city.
When they came to Daying, Lin Xuan had someone call Cheng Chumo and others, but not Xue Rengui.
"See General!" Cheng Chumo and the three bowed in salute.
Lin Xuan waved his hands and said, "It's a private matter to call you here this time. Sit down as you please."
"What's the matter?" Cheng Chumo asked a little strangely.
Lin Xuan said seriously: "Before I say anything, you have to promise that no one can tell this matter."
Seeing Lin Xuan's serious expression, the three of Cheng Chumo put away the smiles on their faces, and promised not to tell anyone.
"Which one of you knows the family members or relatives of Secretary Cheng?" Lin Xuan asked.
Although the women in the Tang Dynasty were not like the Ming Dynasty, they did not go out of the door without going out.
But after all, she is a woman, even if she goes out, there are not many people she can get in touch with.
Coupled with the ancient times, family ugliness should not be publicized.
Even if there is something wrong, it is not easy to investigate.
To complete Li Chengqian's task, he needs to start from within the Su family.
Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaidao shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.
It was Cheng Chumo who said, "Although I don't know each other, Chu Liang and the eldest son of the Su family do. But they are not too familiar."
Lin Xuan said with a happy face: "It doesn't matter if you don't know each other well, you ask Chu Mo to invite him to Mingyue Pavilion, and I will treat him to a drink."
Su's eldest son should be the elder brother of the future princess. How can an elder brother not understand his younger sister?
As long as you get him drunk, afraid that you won't be able to talk?
Cheng Chumo said with a strange face: "If I remember correctly, the eldest son of the Su family seems to be only eight or nine years old."
"Ah!" Lin Xuan looked embarrassed.
It seems really inappropriate to invite eight or nine-year-old children to brothels.
"Zichu, what exactly do you want to do? Tell me directly, and we will help you find a way." Yuchi Baolin said.
Lin Xuan said, "I want to know about Su Quan's eldest daughter."
Cheng Chumo said with an ambiguous face: "You don't think you have a crush on him, do you? However, you are already a princess. Let's not talk about whether you can take a concubine. The Su family is also considered a famous family, so it is impossible for your daughter to be a concubine."
Lin Xuan quickly said: "Don't talk nonsense, she is the future princess."
Although the decree has not been made yet, Li Chengqian asked him to investigate, which basically means that it has been made.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Chengqian to tell him this.
