Chapter 222 Li Xiaogong: Things must be done beautifully
Well, let him start by learning to be a chef.
This time it was really not that Wang Zi'an was deliberately scorning him to satisfy his own evil taste, but that he really wanted to help him.
How did Li Chengqian fail in his previous life?
Although there were reasons for his lack of means and forbearance, a very important reason was that he was not very good at pleasing Li Shimin.
Seeing that Li Shimin was more and more interested in Li Tai, and even had plans to change the prince, he couldn't sit still. Coupled with the harmful friends around him, it would be difficult for him not to die.
In this case, in order to secure the position of the prince, let him start by cooking a pot of good soup for his parents.
Prince, it's not easy to do, but sometimes it's not hard to do. Just don't rush to get the position, don't be too anxious to win over the ministers, especially the generals in the army, just keep your head down and be filial to your emperor, and don't make big mistakes.
It’s done.
Is the prince so easy to lose?
As long as the prince is filial, benevolent, and not unethical, he will naturally occupy the moral high ground, and people will naturally stand up to support you.
"Xiao Mingming, starting from today, I will leave the soup-making at home to you. It's too greasy today, so let's make a pot of millet porridge first-"
Wang Zi'an held a small teapot in one hand and clasped the other behind his back. While talking, he walked out leisurely.
"Work hard. I'll come back later to check. Don't be lazy with the stove. Pay attention to the heat. I'll go next door and ask Uncle Hong to order a plate. When Mr. Sun Simiao comes back later, remember to call me for dinner...
"
Li Chengqian:......
So, I, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, am really going to become the chef of the Tang Dynasty?
Wang Zi'an ignored him and wandered out to play chess with Old Uncle Hong. It was endless fun to play chess.
…
Wangwa, Wang family ancestral hall.
Wang Kui, with a bruised nose and swollen face, sat in the main seat with a dark face, looking at the elder relatives who came to the meeting.
"I have watched this child Zian grow up. He does not have such an arrogant and arrogant temper. Brother, do you think there is any misunderstanding here..."
A middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Wang Zi'an, with a timid face and a somewhat dull look, said something without confidence.
"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding of what? Look at the scars on my face, does it look like a misunderstanding - ah -"
Seeing the clan leader's anger, Wang Ke couldn't help but subconsciously closed his sleeves and shrank back into the crowd. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage and tried to argue.
"This - Zian is still just a child after all, but my eldest brother lost his life for the sake of the clan, which caused this child to neglect discipline. Now he has made such a big mistake. Please consider the kindness of my eldest brother back then,
Leave a way out for this child. If he is really expelled from the family, his future will be completely ruined..."
As soon as these words came out, many old people showed hesitant looks on their faces.
After all, the punishment of being expelled from the family is really too severe, which is equivalent to directly killing people socially.
"Future--he is a loser who can't even pass the county school. What future does he have?"
Wang Zizhong, who was sitting next to Wang Kui, couldn't help snorting coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.
This good-for-nothing Prince An actually dares to have his father beaten. He deserves to die!
Looking at the proud-looking Wang Zizhong, the old man in the family ancestral hall who originally wanted to intercede with Wang Zi'an couldn't help but sigh slightly and put his thoughts away.
Unlike Wang Zi'an who quit the county school voluntarily, the youngest son of the patriarch's family is diligent and hardworking and has always been a top student in the county school. Not long ago, he won the first place in the county school examination.
In addition, now that he has entered the Taiyuan Wang family's genealogy, and has received the Wang family's promise of support and cultivation, his future will be bright, and it is almost a certainty.
This is the genius who is destined to glorify the Wang family in the future, the pride of the old and young men of Wangwa Village, and a man of words.
Who can't respect him first?
For a young man who has withdrawn from the county school and moved out of Wangwa, no one would think twice about offending such a promising family genius.
Even his cousin Wang Ke, who had been fighting for Wang Zi'an, couldn't help but sigh deeply, and his waist unconsciously bent a bit.
This kid is so stupid. How could he do such an extreme thing as beating the clan leader? What will happen if he is really expelled from the clan in the future?
"Otherwise, I'll go and persuade him tomorrow -"
In the end, Wang Ke couldn't hold it back and huddled himself in the crowd and said something nonchalantly.
Wang Kui stared at Wang Ke coldly for a while, until Wang Ke lowered his head and did not dare to look at him, he snorted coldly.
"In this case, I want to give you a face. You go and tell him today that if he is willing to hand over the charcoal detoxification method, the leader of this clan will give him a chance to change his ways. Otherwise, he will be disqualified from ancestor worship and expelled from the family.
No tolerance——”
Wang Kui looked ugly and made the final decision.
If it weren't for fulfilling the Wang family's instructions, how could I have tolerated him until today.
Humph, wait until he hands over the method of removing the poisonous smoke, and then treat him well!
Hejian County Prince's Mansion.
Li Xiaogong couldn't help but be stunned as he looked at Empress Changsun, who was wearing regular clothes and visiting quietly.
"So, you are saying that you want me to go to Wangwa Village to propose marriage to Princess Yuzhang? The identity of the princess and His Majesty cannot be exposed yet?"
Empress Changsun smiled gently and nodded.
"Your Majesty and Wang Zi'an have been friends for many years, and they attach great importance to this friendship. They are not willing to be bound by the relationship between monarch and minister for the time being, but they are also unwilling to overly wrong that Yuzhang girl, so they have no choice but to make this move——"
Li Xiaogong couldn't help but stir up a storm in his heart.
Who is this Prince An that he is so favored by His Majesty?
Prince Ann, he has heard about it.
There is no other way. Nowadays, the poems written by Wang Zi'an are being sung everywhere in the flower streets, willow lanes and brothels.
On the left is "The light rain on Tianjie is as moist as crisp cakes", and on the right is "Floating and growing, but regretting the lack of entertainment". As a frequent visitor to these places, it was difficult for him not to know.
He once had the idea of meeting this young man, but it was just that the imperial examination was coming soon. As the Minister of Rites, he was busy with affairs and wanted to avoid suspicion, so he postponed it.
As for His Majesty's acquaintance with this young man named Wang Zi'an, and even the fact that he was accidentally arrested by Wannian County because of this, he also knew.
With His Majesty's eagerness for talents, it would be strange if he didn't like this young man.
But he never expected that His Majesty would be so kind to this prince.
For his sake, he even did not hesitate to wrong Princess Yuzhang and let Princess Yuzhang marry that prince An as the niece of the prince of Hejian County.
"Queen, please rest assured that I will definitely do my best to handle this matter properly and successfully——"
After knowing the cause and effect, Li Xiaogong's curiosity about Wang Zi'an exploded, and he immediately agreed with his chest.
After seeing off Queen Changsun, Li Xiaogong thought about it carefully, immediately called his old housekeeper, and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"You go to Wang Wa today to say hello, and tell them that I want to go to the Wang family in person tomorrow to propose marriage, so that they can make preparations-"
How can the Tian family marry a daughter casually?
What's more, this girl in Yuzhang has already been wronged?
Be sure to make up for Yu Zhang’s face!
It’s decided, the bigger the fanfare tomorrow, the better, the higher the specifications, the better, be sure to look like Princess Yuzhang!
