Hongwenguan Sun Li was kneeling and his face was pale at this moment. He offended the eldest son of the family and thought that now his future has been ruined. He should not have thought of taking advantage of that boy in the first place.
Sun Li said: "Now that the matter has come to this, I am willing to resign as the manager of Hongwen Hall. During this period, I have been under the care of Duke Zhao and Young Master Changsun."
Changsun Wuji said: "It's not all your fault, it's that kid who only wants money."
After a pause, Changsun Wuji said in a lower tone: "You should stay in Hongwen Hall and be your steward. Do your job well and don't let me down again."
"Thank you so much, Duke Zhao, and thank you so much, Mr. Changsun."
Sun Li kept saluting, as if he was being pardoned.
Changsun Chong thought to himself that his father's ability to control people was really powerful, so he should give Sun Li a blow first and then comfort him.
It made his men more loyal, and also made him look up to the eldest son's family.
Changsun Chong took the portrait and said, "Father, I will go see the prince and see if I can find out who this person is."
Changsun Wuji nodded slightly.
After leaving his mansion, the eldest grandson rushed towards the East Palace.
Weeds can still be seen everywhere in the East Palace. In the past two years, the DPRK and the Central Government were engaged in foreign campaigns, which led to the tight expenses of the DPRK and Central Government.
This East Palace has not been repaired for some years.
Li Chengqian was looking at the book in his hand. The maid on the side was shaking her fan, always paying attention to the prince's expression, for fear that the prince would feel hot.
The guards from the East Palace came in a hurry, "His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson is here."
Li Chengqian whispered: "Invite people in."
"Here."
Changsun Chong walked into the East Palace, bowed and saluted, "His Royal Highness."
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "No need to be polite, my father will arrange the autumn hunting soon. You must go with Gu this time."
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Changsun Chong saluted again and said, "Definitely."
The two are similar in age, and Changsun Wuji is Li Chengqian's uncle. Changsun Chong and the prince often play together on weekdays.
Li Chengqian stood up and said, "I've been tired of listening to the teacher's lectures for the past two days. I really want to ride my horse to Lishan Mountain for autumn hunting now."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian's eyes were already looking in the direction of Lishan Mountain, fascinated.
When the guards on the side heard this, they also understood in their hearts that His Highness the Crown Prince was only fourteen years old after all, which was when he was most playful.
Li Chengqian added: "Prince Hejian has recently acquired a good sword, and he shows it off every day."
"I heard that, but I haven't found the person who made it."
"It's a pity indeed. It would be great if we could find the person who made it."
Li Chengqian looked regretful.
After finishing speaking, Changsun Chong took out a scroll of portraits and said, "Today my father and I encountered a very strange thing."
Li Chengqian became interested, "Tell me what weird thing happened to you."
Staying in the East Palace all day, Li Chengqian was curious about many things in Chang'an.
Watching Chang Sun Chong open the scroll, Li Chengqian said again: "Sometimes I envy you. You are much more comfortable than I am when I am not in the East Palace."
When all the scrolls were opened, Li Chengqian frowned when he saw the portrait in front of him.
Changsun Chong whispered: "Does His Highness the Crown Prince know this person?"
Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun Chong, then looked at the portrait and said, "Gu... Gu does know this person. Has this person committed something?"
"That's not true."
The portrait in front of him should be Li Yue's husband. Li Chengqian frowned and became a little worried.
Changsun Chong explained: "This matter starts from Hongwen Pavilion..."
He told the story of Hongwen Hall from beginning to end.
After listening, Li Chengqian nodded clearly and said, "You said that person, I do know him."
Changsun Chong asked: "How did this person get to know His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Regarding Li Yue's husband, Li Chengqian held his head in distress. It was only after the Zhongyuan Festival that he realized that Zhang Yang was more than just a book categorizer.
When he had a battle of wits with that Tubo man, his calm and calm expression and his profound insights into numeracy were quite like those of a generation of numeracy masters.
Could it be that the Changsun family also wants to win over Zhang Yang?
Not many people know about Yue'er.
Even Yue'er's marriage was hidden.
People outside may not know the whereabouts of Princess Runan, let alone that Yue'er is now married.
Naturally, the father would be happy to see Yue'er's husband have such abilities.
Li Chengqian was also happy in his heart, at least this Zhang Yang was not as unlearned as Gu knew at first.
If Yue'er doesn't live to adulthood, how uncomfortable it will be for the father.
Not to mention that Yue'er has never even seen her mother since she was a child.
He was raised by the maids in the palace.
The father is in debt to Yue'er.
According to the father's opinion, as long as Yue'er is happy, etiquette doesn't matter.
Zhang Yang has a weird temper, but he is really good to Yue'er. The maid who takes care of Yue'er often comes to report.
Li Chengqian was conflicted between Zhang Yang, a very talented man, and Yue'er, who might not live to adulthood.
It's already hard enough for Yue'er to live well, so let her live a better life so that she can feel at ease.
Instead of letting the eldest grandson rush in and disturb their lives.
Li Chengqian came back to his senses, cleared his throat and said, "Tell me about this guy. He is very arrogant and clever. He puts on airs in front of me and likes to pretend to be an expert."
Changsun Chong recalled the discussion in Hongwen Hall and everyone said the same thing.
Li Chengqian added: "It's just some cleverness. There are many such people in the market."
Changsun Chong then nodded clearly, "Did this person offend His Highness the Crown Prince in the first place?"
Li Chengqian sighed and said: "Chong, I advise you not to associate with such villains. You dare to play tricks on yourself because you think you are smart."
"His Royal Highness, what you say makes sense. The method of categorizing books may seem impressive at first glance, but when you think about it, it is really just a little cleverness."
"And once such people are recruited, they will continue to ask for benefits in the future. My father often warns people who are alone to be wise."
"I'm being rude."
Changsun Chong would naturally not be stupid enough to win over someone just to offend the current prince.
Who would dare to use someone like this who offended the prince?
Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder and said, "There are all kinds of people in the market. Just be careful in the future."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so."
After saying this, Li Chengqian let out a long breath and finally covered it.
Outside Lantian County, three people stood at the door of the store. There was no customer in the store at the moment, and the autumn wind blew up a piece of yellow sand.
Ding Liu was describing the current predicament of the store.
"Brother Zhang, is our store going to be unable to open? We only have four or five customers in the past two days."
Ding Liu said aggrievedly.
Zhang Yang wondered whether the fast food method was not suitable for the Tang Dynasty.
Ding Liu sniffed and continued: "If this continues, I might as well go to Chang'an and sell cakes."
Why bother said in a low voice: "Our business is indeed bleak, why not add more dishes."
