Chapter 34 Winning (for the hardship of survival)
While chatting with Li Tai, Li Yifu hurried over.
"What's wrong?" Li Zheng asked in surprise.
Li Yifu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Jingyang Order, many people say they want to worship you as their teacher."
Li Zheng said in surprise: "I didn't say I wanted to accept an apprentice."
"But, didn't you open Jingyang Academy?"
Li Tai smiled and said, "I think it's good for you to accept some disciples."
Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Li Yi Mansion, if you take the call, you will say that I, Li Zheng, will not accept disciples."
"Okay." Li Yifu nodded.
"besides!"
Li Zheng called him and then instructed: "Take some people to block the road at the entrance of the village. Don't let idle people come in, just say that I, Li Zheng, stayed in and didn't see guests."
When Li Tai was about to go back to Chang'an and arrive at the entrance of Jingyang Village in a carriage.
A group of students gathered around.
"This is His Highness the King of Wei's carriage."
"Have Your Highness the King of Wei gone to see Li Zheng?"
"Someone just said that Li Zheng would not accept disciples and would not let us in."
Li Tai regretted sitting in the carriage. He really deserved to take a detour.
I had to walk out of the carriage, and saw that there were hundreds of people surrounding the carriage.
"Everyone!" Li Tai stood out of the carriage and said, "Everyone is a little restless, Li is my friend."
...
"It turns out that Li is the friend of His Highness the King of Wei."
"So that's how it is."
"How long have you known His Highness the King of Wei and Li Zheng?"
"Can Your Highness the King of Wei let us meet Li Zheng?"
...
Listening to their discussion, Li Tai cleared his throat and said majestic, "Everyone is quiet, listen to me."
The scene finally calmed down.
Li Tai spoke and said, "You also know that Li Zheng wrote hundreds of poems in one breath. He is very tired now and needs rest. If you are disturbing him to rest like this, he may not see you."
As soon as this was said, someone started to talk about it.
"What Your Highness, King of Wei, makes sense."
"We are indeed abrupt."
"We are a disgrace to Li Zheng's literary talent."
...
Li Tai took two steps and said again: "Li Zheng is my friend, but I am also the King of Wei. I will definitely hand you what you say next time, but Li Zheng has a weird personality. Whether you can see you depends on his own thoughts."
"Your Highness King of Wei, is this an article I wrote for you to read for Li Zheng?" A scholar handed over a book.
Another book was handed over, "This is what I wrote. It would be nice if Li Zheng could leave a few words on it."
"Your Highness of the King of Wei..."
The enthusiasm of the masses was unstoppable, and Li Tai quickly said, "You all hand over your papers to me, and write your names on the signatures, and I will help hand them over to Li Zheng."
"Okay, I'll leave it to His Highness the King of Wei first."
"Leave it to His Highness the King of Wei."
...
The way to submit the papers can also be submitted to officials in the court, or at Hongwenguan. Scholars can submit the papers to local officials.
After the article was valued by local officials, it was sent to the court with the memorial.
Now that Li Zheng is also a Jingyang Order, he can naturally be submitted to the papers.
Li Tai was also happy to use this to win over the hearts of these scholars.
After taking one roll after another, the carriage was filled with stuff.
Li Tai had to sit outside the carriage, comforted the group of people, and urged the coachman in a low voice, "Hurry up and go back home, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time."
The coachman hurried away the horse.
East Palace
This time, Li Zheng completely corrected his reputation in Chang'an, and the prince has been paying attention to the development of things.
After listening to the report from the official from the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian asked: "When did Li Tai become friends with Li Zheng?"
"We don't know when we go back to the Crown Prince. Our people have been staring at Jingyang, and the King of Wei has only been to Jingyang a few times."
He should have expressed his meaning directly to Li Zheng, and he would not have been given a first win by Li Tai.
Li Chengqian punched the table, regretting his hesitation at the beginning.
At that time, everyone thought Li was a fool.
After thinking about it, Li Chengqian asked: "You said there are many scholars who submit papers to Li Zheng."
"Yes." The official bowed and replied.
Li Zheng has a great influence on Chang'an now. He wrote hundreds of poems, and even the older generation in Chang'an feel inferior.
If Li Zheng would be the leader of scholars and scholars from Chang'an and Guanzhong in the future.
So whoever masters Li Zheng can indirectly master scholars in the world?
"How many times did Li Zheng and Li Tai meet?"
"Yes." The official replied: "It should be only three times. The first time was to ask for medicine for the queen."
Fourteen-year-old Li Chengqian punched the table again and shouted angrily: "Cunning Li Tai!"
Li Tai went to see Li Zheng to seek medicine rather than to win over Li Zheng.
Li Tai used this excuse very appropriately, and it was not easy to refute.
Because of filial piety, I would ask for medicine, and even my father was not good at saying anything.
What's more, Li Tai really asked Li Zheng for medicine, which also relieved the mother's condition.
"Even if Li Tai keeps saying that he and Li Zheng are friends, their friendship is not so deep."
The official stood aside and was silent, not daring to speak much.
Li Chengqian is now in anger. If he annoyed the prince because of his eyes, he might be driven out of the East Palace.
I dare not speak much, and I am afraid of saying the wrong thing.
"Your Highness, the Changsun is coming." The guards of the Eastern Palace came to report.
Li Chengqian remembered the urgent report from Taiyuan today.
The locust plague last year was very big, and no one wanted to experience it again.
It is necessary to win over Li Zheng. Li Tai and Li Zheng’s relationship is not so good, so it should be Li Tai’s own side words.
This time, we must do things in Taiyuan well. This is an opportunity to show our own performance to the father.
Li Zheng wanted to win over the affairs of the court, and as the crown prince, he must set an example to worry about his father.
Changsun Chong brought people here to discuss how to deal with Taiyuan.
Once a locust plague starts, it will definitely cause panic.
It is also a contribution that I can make suggestions and solutions to the matter of the father governing Taiyuan.
I believe Li Tai did not have so many advisers to give advice like himself.
Li Chengqian ordered: "Go and check Li Zheng, I want all the information about Li Zheng. He is from his background, his background, and his relatives."
"I'll do it now."
The official left in a hurry.
Li Chengqian calmed down and said, "Let Changsun Chong and his people come in."
The East Palace began to discuss matters in Taiyuan.
The Ganlu Palace was also worried about Taiyuan.
I originally wanted to summon Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to discuss, and then summoned Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenben and other civil officials who were in charge of the political affairs hub in the court to the Ganlu Hall.
While advocating that all the fields in Taiyuan were burned out, there would be chaos when the locusts flew up in April and May.
Some people also think that it is better to catch insects first.
