Chapter 1496 Panic
In fact, it was not just General Moren who felt strange, but all the people present felt a little strange.
General Moren's status was indeed transcendent, but Su Dingfang had given him enough face, and it was reasonable for His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to come here. After all, he was also a big official outside, and sending a prince could also show the respect of the Tang Dynasty for him.
Besides, since returning from the front line, Prince Jin Li Zhi had nothing to do. He stayed in his own palace every day, and all he did was show up in public. He had no real rights at all, but he was the emperor's son after all, and he lived a good life in Chang'an City.
So no one would feel strange when he appeared in this place. Anyway, he was idle, and Li Shimin arranged a job for him, so that he could show up in front of the officials and not be marginalized.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was different. When Li Xiang was not in the capital, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was extremely busy. Whether it was memorials from all over the country, or various warehouses and silver, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely take care of it himself, and he was busy every day.
Of course, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy, Li Shimin can be idle. The palace has been selecting beauties to enter the palace one after another. There are many more little princes and princesses than before. This is directly related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's busyness.
Of course, Li Shimin is relieved, and Li Xiang is naturally relieved too. Although Li Chengqian was reckless in the early years, he has been on the right track in recent years. He also knows that there are some things that he must watch himself, otherwise he will not be able to sleep. On the surface, Li Xiang has the entire Tang Dynasty under his control, but there are still many people playing tricks in secret.
Of course, even if no one is playing tricks, Li Xiang will arrange his own people to scare Li Chengqian. He knows too well what kind of person his father is. If someone forces him, then this guy is the most suitable regent prince, but if he relaxes a little, then I don’t know what this guy will do.
Under such circumstances, Li Chengqian worked non-stop every day, and had little time to rest in the East Palace. He was either reviewing memorials in the court or inspecting in various places. He had no time to enjoy life. General Molun did not expect Li Chengqian to come, and Su Dingfang and others did not expect Li Chengqian to come.
But what these people did not expect was that Li Chengqian actually appeared here, and a large group of people knelt down. Many people lived in Chang'an City, but they had few opportunities to see Li Chengqian, especially those veterans who had fought in the Western Regions.
After these people returned to the capital, if they followed the previous rules, their lives would not be too good, but the situation is different now. They have been allocated a lot of land in the border areas. Although these people cannot set up camps in the border areas, they can let their children and nephews go there to run the business. In addition to the rewards they issued, they live a good life and can support themselves in Chang'an City, which is much better than ordinary people.
"Your Highness, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years..."
"Your Highness, Prince of Jin, may you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years..."
As these people saluted, Li Chengqian also hurriedly asked everyone to stand up. These people in front of him were not a bunch of drunkards. They had all fought on the battlefield. Some of them were still in some confidential offices and were considered to be Li Xiang's absolute confidants.
"Everyone, please stand up quickly. We are all in Chang'an City. We will see each other every day. If you perform this kind of solemn salute every time, then I will try to reduce the chances of meeting you in the future. You are all people who have made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty on the battlefield. How can you kneel down at every turn? General Mo Lun, please stand up too. It's really hard to come all the way from the Western Regions. Let's go in and eat and chat. We must eat and drink well tonight. All expenses will be paid by the Eastern Palace."
Li Chengqian pulled General Mo Lun up, and then pulled up several veterans next to him. If someone was filming here, this guy would definitely be a benchmark figure who does face-saving projects.
Several veterans were so moved that they almost cried. They had fought for the Tang Dynasty for their whole lives and thought they had been marginalized. Who knew that there were all kinds of activities after they got old, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could help them up personally. This life was really worth it.
For those young soldiers and generals, they also remembered this scene in their hearts. As long as you work hard for the entire Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will never forget you. You will appear in all kinds of occasions that you should attend. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince respect you very much. What else do you want in this life?
Jin Wang Li Zhi curled his lips beside him, but the Crown Prince Li Chengqian was putting on a show here. You, as a prince, can't go too far. Of course, you have to help these people up with Li Chengqian. This is also a very normal thing. If Li Chengqian goes over to put on a show and you just stand there, everything here will be heard by Li Shimin tomorrow.
You two brothers did nothing, so it's not your fault. But Li Chengqian did everything for the face of the Tang Dynasty court, and you just stood by like a nobleman. What do you think your father would think?
As Li Shimin's son, if you can't contribute to the Tang Dynasty, no matter how favored you are, you will probably be marginalized. Moreover, Li Shimin has had many sons recently, and there have been many such people in the palace. Are you still precious?
Of course, you are the legitimate daughter of Empress Changsun, which is indeed much more valuable than those people, but you can't contribute to the entire Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin will not hate you once or twice, and your mother's kindness can also be remembered, but you keep doing this three or four times. How many times do you think this kindness can be offset?
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness. I am really terrified that my humble life can make Your Highness condescend so much."
General Moron also had tears in his eyes. At this time, he really showed his true feelings. If a person who fights hard on the battlefield wants to play tricks, how can he play these people of the Li royal family? From the moment they were born, these guys were no ordinary people, and their ability to win people's hearts was better than anyone else's. (End of this chapter)
