Chapter 9 Duke Li Jing of the Kingdom of Wei
Li Chengqian's face was also extremely shocked. You must know that these are all important officials of the imperial court. Take these princes as an example, they can be said to account for almost half of the country.
Not to mention the young masters of these princes' families, even the chief steward of their families has not been to the East Palace in three years.
There is no other reason. This guy Li Chengqian is too capable. He was originally unwilling to make friends with the prince. Now that you are so capable of causing trouble, who else wants to have anything to do with you except your old father-in-law?
"Ah...please, please hurry up, gentlemen."
It took Li Chengqian two breaths to say this. He was really confused. These people were all his childhood playmates, but later due to various reasons, everyone became estranged.
Li Chengqian knew very well that this was all because of his son.
If Li Xiang hadn't performed well in the court and allowed all the lords to borrow the east wind, why would they have sent the duke's legitimate son to thank him?
As for the Crown Princess next to her, she didn't know what to say at this moment. She was just thinking about how to take revenge on Li Xiang and her son, but now seeing the noble sons coming one after another, the Crown Princess really didn't know how to take revenge.
The people here belong to different camps, but they show their favor to one party at the same time. This has not happened in more than ten years. Even when Li Chengqian was named the prince, the East Palace did not have such a grand scene.
In fact, it's normal to think about it. The performance of a thirteen-year-old child in court cannot be hidden from these old foxes. If he doesn't have a lot of experience, how can he give advice to the country of Koryo, which is thousands of miles away?
Think about the performance of Wei Wang Li Tai and Jin Wang Li Zhi, and even the talented Wu Wang Li Ke. They were all outclassed by this little nephew. As long as Li Xiang does not make big mistakes in the future, the position of the emperor's grandson will still be there. Can you run?
Faced with the fake dragon, all the princes of the country can cope with it.
But facing the real dragon, no one is really indifferent to fame and fortune.
Li Xiang didn't know the princes and princes in front of him, so he could only follow his father Li Chengqian, and then thank each prince.
Everyone's impression of Li Xiang is that he doesn't have stage fright. For a thirteen-year-old to be able to do this, he really outshines his own son.
In addition, after hearing about the East Palace on the way here, everyone became even more convinced of Prince Taiping.
Born in a family of officials, he was born to be a master of power manipulation, but if he had achieved such an achievement at the age of thirteen, his future would be truly unfathomable.
"elder brother……"
The Crown Princess was already very angry, but who knew that she would see Hou Kui, the eldest son of her maternal brother Hou Junji at this moment.
The Crown Princess was so angry that her face was red. It was just that others came to give that little bastard the icing on the cake. As the Crown Princess's mother-in-law, you actually brought generous gifts, and they were for that little bastard. Your nephew was also honored today. The prince...
Hou Kui brought two gifts. If it had been in the past, the eldest son of the concubine of the East Palace would have received the title of county king at most. He would never be treated the same as his nephew. However, the situation is better than that of others. Qiang, on such an occasion, the princes of various families will give gifts. If you don't give them, someone will immediately isolate you.
"younger sister……"
Hou Kui also had a bitter look on his face, but he couldn't explain it to his sister under such circumstances, so he had to bite the bullet and say goodbye first, visit Li Chengqian and his son first, and then talk to his sister about their daily life.
Li Chengqian also changed his past coldness and happily entertained the young masters of various families, and made Li Xiang look familiar to him. As for the five-year-old legitimate son, he burst into tears after seeing this big scene. Li Chengqian was a little unhappy. Let the nanny hold her.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Marquis of Fengyang, the Marquis of Wuping, the Marquis of Chunting..."
The princes here have just stepped down, and dozens of princes from behind have also sent their sons.
These people were all second-rate nobles of the Tang Empire, but they also got the news, so they were not to be outdone and sent their eldest sons to bring heavy gifts.
If it had been in the past, Li Chengqian had been busy here for more than half an hour, and he would have been exhausted and probably disgusted. But today, he is full of energy and is not tired.
"Can you still hold on?"
Although he loved Li Xiang very much, he had to maintain his father's dignity in the face of so many outsiders. Li Chengqian stood up straight and said these words.
"Father's body?"
Li Xiang did not mention his own affairs, but instead mentioned Li Chengqian's health first, because Li Chengqian stood lamely for such a long time, which must have been harder than him.
"Talk too much."
Although Li Chengqian said it in a disgusted tone, there was already a smile in the corner of his eyes.
This son was not only extremely capable, but most importantly, he was filial and always cared about his own health. Li Chengqian thought of the journey back to the East Palace from the imperial hall just now. Li Xiang could have gone first, but he still supported him step by step.
"If the father can still persist, the son begs the father to come with me to see the guests..."
Li Xiang's eyes finally showed a hint of fear, and Li Chengqian also comforted him, "You guys still have time to rely on your old father."
"Um."
Li Chengqian responded happily.
The fact that a son relies on his father can give the father a sense of satisfaction, not to mention that he is a capable son.
"The Crown Prince has an order, please all young princes."
Qian Ping, the chief eunuch, was also very discerning and immediately started shouting out, and asked someone to bring a seat for Li Chengqian. He had to stand and deal with Li Chengqian, the legitimate son of the Duke of the Duke. However, Li Chengqian could calmly face these legitimate sons of the Duke's Palace. After doing it, if you stand still, it will make those princes and princes dissatisfied.
More than a dozen heirs of the Hou family filed in, making it very lively.
Even if he had a grudge with Li Chengqian before, he still sent someone to congratulate him now. If Li Xiang really ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, considering today's friendship, he will be somewhat merciful.
As for the Crown Princess, she had already claimed that she was ill, and she did not want to see the concubine acting rampant.
Facing many nobles in the Tang Empire, Li Xiang's response was remarkable. The young eunuch had already written down everything and sent it to Li Shimin's case.
Li Xiang also understood that he should have entered the first-level surveillance state since he left the imperial hall just now, so even when he was alone, he must not show his wild and rebellious expression, not to mention that there were so many Tang nobles in front of him.
From this moment on, Li Xiang truly entered the eyes of the upper echelons of the Tang Empire and officially entered the ranks of the heirs.
"The Duke of Wei, Li Jing, has arrived..."
It’s already coming to an end, why is the God of War of the Tang Dynasty here? And most of the people who came just now were civil servants, military generals making friends with emperors and grandsons?
Isn't this too prosperous?
