The surging shouts of the people outside were like waves, one wave getting louder than the other.
Dantai stood up subconsciously under the mirror, without even saying hello, and stood directly outside the carriage.
As a result, the people became even more excited and chased the chariot one after another.
At this time, Sanbao quietly came over and whispered to Li Chen: "Your Highness, there are hundreds of people outside. They all heard about Tan Taijing's arrival, so they are chasing after them. Do you want the Jin Yiwei to disperse them?"
"No need."
Li Chen waved his hands and looked meaningfully at Tantai Jingzhi's figure greeting the people with cheers.
"The people's will is what they want. This just proves that my choice and investment are right."
After hearing this, Sanbao said no more and quietly retreated.
But when he turned around, he glanced at Tantai Jingzhi's figure and shook his head slightly.
From this incident alone, he realized that a scholar like Tantai Jingzhi would never survive long in the officialdom without the support of the Eastern Palace.
In a similar situation, let alone an old fox like Zhao Xuanji and several other old monsters of similar quality in the cabinet, even if they drag Xu Changqing and his like over, do you think any of them would leave the prince to accept the cheers of the people?
Since ancient times, it has always been the royal privilege to be respected by all people. You can have your own popular prestige, but you must never show it in front of the royal family.
Otherwise, if you win the hearts and minds of the people, what do you want to do?
Li Chen didn't know what Sanbao was thinking and didn't bother to think about it.
What he is thinking about now is deeper than what Sanbao thinks.
He was wondering, did Tan Tai Jingzhi deliberately taint himself, or did he really have no experience in political struggle?
If it is true that he only knows how to read but does not understand people's hearts, then how did Zhou Xuan and Tan Tai Jingzhi manage to deal with the forces that wanted to win over him so many years ago, and how did they manage to do both things with ease?
At this time, Tantai Jingzhi's voice came from outside.
"Everyone, I have seen and received everyone's thoughts. Please go back. I feel ashamed. I am even more worried about the huge crowds. If there is a stampede, I will not be able to face my father and elders. Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince.
My dear, I have entered the court as an official and will live in the capital permanently in the future. If you are willing, you can come and sit at my home, and I will definitely sweep up my couch to welcome you!"
After finally sending the people away, Dantai Jingzhi turned around and came to Li Chen. He raised his hand and said, "The people responded enthusiastically. It's really hard to refuse. I am also worried about an accident. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"It doesn't matter."
Li Chen waved his hand and chuckled: "It's just a trivial matter, sir, don't worry about it."
The chariot and honor guard continued to move forward, and Tantai Jingzhi sat there for a while, but he couldn't hold it any longer.
He opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, a few days ago, Your Highness sent someone to deliver a copy of "Summary of the Heart of the Heart". It is the only set of copies in the world. I have been looking for it for most of my life but could not find it...
So, it’s in the hands of His Highness?”
Li Chen said with a smile: "Except for those burned by the previous dynasty, most of the books in the world that have been handed down are hidden in the palace. There may be a few orphan copies among the people, but most of them are collected by future generations based on their memories and their own
The same is true for understanding the edited translation of the "Summary of Danxin". There is a large number of books in the East Palace, including this set of originals."
Dantai Jingzhi's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, and he could hardly hold back the urge to ask Li Chen for this set of books. But at this time, the carriage stopped.
Li Chen interrupted Tantai Jingzhi's words, stood up and said, "Let's go, the place I want to show you is here."
