Chapter 280 Candidates for the Crown Princess
Lin Xuan explained a few words to Xu Geng, and hurried downstairs to the outside of the academy.
Li Tai got out of the carriage and waited a while, but ordered someone to sign up for him, and wandered around curiously.
"Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and bring peace to all generations." Li Tai slowly read the verses on the stone tablet.
The short 22 words gave Li Tai a big shock and made him stand still.
The guard's blocking voice brought Li Tai back to his senses.
Li Tai turned around and saw Lin Xuan stopped not far away by his guards.Li Tai waved his hand, and the guard quickly stepped aside.
Lin Xuan walked up to him, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei, but I didn't know His Highness came, but I couldn't meet him from afar. I hope His Highness forgives me."
"It's the king who came here without warning, and the Marquis of Jingyang County doesn't blame him." Li Tai laughed.
Lin Xuan asked: "I don't know what His Highness is talking about?"
There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.
Li Tai came here and was so polite, who knows what he was planning.Therefore, Lin Xuan was very vigilant.
"Tai wants to study arithmetic with the Marquis of Jingyang County, and my father has already agreed to this matter." Li Tai said, and also wanted Lin Xuan to do a student salute.
Although Lin Xuan was a little confused by Li Tai's words, he quickly hid when he saw Li Tai saluting.
"Your Highness, you've beaten me. Although I opened a college, I didn't intend to teach myself! Besides, how can I teach Your Highness?" Lin Xuan scolded Li Tai and Li Shimin in his heart when he spoke. over and over.
What the hell, isn't this looking for trouble for him?
Li Tai said with some doubts: "But I heard that you said that after the school starts, you will teach mathematics in person. Could it be that what I heard was rumors? But I have already told my father, what should I do now? "
After speaking, Li Tai's tone was still a little anxious.
Lin Xuan watched Li Tai's performance and didn't know what to say.I can only blame myself for being cheap.
Some time ago, Li Deju invited them to drink in Mingyue Pavilion.
Lin Xuan bragged to them that when the college started, he would teach mathematics, and he would be regarded as a teacher in the future.
I don't know how this sentence got to Li Tai, which led to the present scene.
Li Tai looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, waiting for Lin Xuan's response.
"Boyuan Academy accepts children of seven or eight years old. His Highness is 12 years old. I'm afraid it's not suitable." Lin Xuan said.
In fact, there was no rule at all, only seven or eight-year-olds were accepted, and he just tried to find a way to keep Li Tai out.
He definitely didn't want Li Tai to come to study with him.
Lin Xuan really doesn't like it when he thinks too much at such a young age.
Moreover, if something happened to Li Tai, he would be in big trouble.
Li Tai didn't become angry because of Lin Xuan's refusal, but said with some embarrassment: "I begged my father for a long time, and my father agreed. If I don't study here now, I'm afraid my father will blame me."
The subconscious meaning of this sentence is that this is Li Shimin's decision, and if Lin Xuan refuses, it will be against the order.
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I will talk to Your Majesty about this matter."
Li Tai didn't seem to care at all, and said with a smile: "It would be the best if the Marquis of Jingyang County can go and tell Father."
"Your Highness, I will take my leave first!" Lin Xuan bowed his hands and turned away.
Li Tai looked at Lin Xuan's leaving figure and smiled coldly.
Half an hour later, the person who was sent by Li Tai to sign up came back and said, "Your Highness, the registration has been completed. They said that His Highness should come to school tomorrow."
Li Tai nodded and said, "Go back!"
……
"Meet the queen mother!" Li Chengqian bowed and saluted.
Empress Changsun waved her hand and said with a smile: "Gao Ming is here, come and sit."
After Li Chengqian sat down with Empress Changsun, he asked, "I don't know what orders the Queen Mother has for calling the children?"
Empress Changsun admired Li Chengqian a lot, and sighed a little: "Gao Ming is so old before he realizes it, and he has reached the age to marry a princess."
Li Chengqian didn't expect his mother to tell him this, and he was a little at a loss.
It's not that he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, in the emperor's house, even if he doesn't understand, someone will teach him.
Regardless of Li Chengqian's young age, the child is already two years old.
But he is not lustful, otherwise it would be impossible to have only one child now.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Why, are you shy?"
Li Chengqian came back to his senses and said: "Marriage is a major matter, the order of the parents is the words of the matchmaker. Since the father, the queen and the mother are the masters."
Li Tai's words were natural, without the sense of repulsion that was arranged.
There is no such thing as resistance.
Escaped marriages and elopements existed in ancient times, but certainly not many.
And this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen to nobles.
For them, taking concubines is a normal thing, they can marry whoever they like or not, there is nothing to resist.
Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Although father and mother chose later, but after all, it is for you to choose a crown prince and concubine, and empress mother still wants to hear your opinion."
After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun picked up a few pieces of paper on the table, handed them to Li Chengqian, and said, "This is chosen by the empress mother. See if there is anything you particularly like."
Although it is said that he wants to ask Li Chengqian's opinion, he must not let Li Chengqian choose casually, but choose among the people he chooses.
Li Chengqian took it and looked carefully.
The people selected by Empress Changsun were not too many, there were only four in total.
The family backgrounds of these four people are not considered to be the top of the Tang Dynasty. The only thing they have in common is that they are all officials from generation to generation, and they do not belong to the family.
From this point of view, Empress Changsun has spent a lot of effort.
From a selfish point of view, Empress Changsun definitely hoped that the crown princess would come from the family of Changsun.
Even if it is because close relatives are not allowed to marry now, you can still marry uncle Gao's family.
Changsun Wuji also hinted to her many times that she could choose a daughter from the Gao family as the princess.
But Empress Changsun did not agree. Whether she chooses or not, both the Changsun family and the Gao family will be Li Chengqian's help.
She wanted to find Li Chengqian a concubine who would be helpful to Li Chengqian in the future.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Queen Changsun asked.
Li Chengqian shook his head and asked, "Which one does my mother think is the best?"
Just some materials, all of which are so good, no one else has seen them, and they don't know how to choose.
Empress Changsun thought for a while and said, "What do you think of Su Wan'er?"
Su Wan'er?
Information about Su Wan'er appeared in Li Chengqian's mind.
Su Wan'er's father was Secretary Cheng Su Quan, her great-grandfather Su Wei was Sui Dynasty Minister Zuo Pushe, and her uncle Su Xu married Li Yuan's daughter, Princess Nanchang.
To be honest, among the four, Su Wan'er's family background is not the best.
Although Li Chengqian was a little surprised that Empress Changsun would choose Su Wan'er.
But knowing that the queen mother will not harm her, she nodded and said, "It's all up to the queen mother to decide!"
Empress Changsun nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, Empress Mother will tell your father about this matter, and let your father make a decree to grant the marriage."
Su Wan'er can be said to be the one she is most satisfied with.
In the court, there are many officials who are all ex-Sui survivors.
Su Wan'er's great-grandfather, Su Wei, together with Yu Wenshu, Pei Ju, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji, was known as the "Five Nobles" when they assisted the government.
Marrying Su Wan'er will be of great help to stabilize those former Sui officials.
With the support of the eldest grandson's family and the Gao family, coupled with the invisible influence of the Su family, as long as Li Chengqian does not make big mistakes, the position of prince can be said to be very stable.
She had already shown these candidates to Li Shimin, and she was not worried that Li Shimin would reject them.
"Mother, my son still has some things to do, so I will leave first." Li Chengqian said.
Thanks to the ancient AUGU for the monthly pass.
