Ever since Li Chengqian left the tavern.
He had been pondering over what Zhang Feng said.
He was good at both civil and military affairs.
That was what Zhang Feng said.
But now, his father and the other dukes were shining too brightly, so much so that he was basically a dispensable existence in the imperial court.
He wanted to surpass his father, but it was too difficult.
But he saw hope when Zhang Feng appeared.
His father would eventually grow old and retire. At that time, the Great Tang would still be his, but would the old officials in the court submit to him?
No!
But now, it was different.
The appearance of the academy gave him hope.
Perhaps his father didn't want to see what would happen after he ascended the throne, so he acquiesced to him learning from Zhang Feng.
At this time, not to mention whether he could go to the battlefield and kill the enemy like Zhang Feng said, at least he could suppress those old generals in the imperial court in terms of military affairs. Or he could have a common opinion with them. That would be enough.
He didn't ask for much.
So.
When he was in the tavern, he immediately took over the matter of building the academy.
In the East Palace.
In Li Chengqian's bedroom.
As soon as Li Chengqian came back, he didn't even go to Taiji Palace. He directly called his personal eunuch.
"Send someone to find all the construction craftsmen in Chang 'an City. Remember, don't use the identity of the Crown Prince. I'll wait for them in the private room of Penglai Pavilion in Chang' an City at five o 'clock!"
The eunuch was stunned when he heard that.
"Your Highness, you … If you want to hire craftsmen, just inform the Ministry of Works!"
"If you really can't do it, the craftsmen who build the Retired Emperor's manor are all imperial craftsmen. Why do you want to find those peasants? If they know your identity, it will damage the dignity of the royal family. "
Li Chengqian waved his hand.
"Do as I tell you. This has nothing to do with the palace. It's my private matter. Remember, don't disturb my father and mother!"
The eunuch was even more confused when he heard that.
Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince had found an extraordinary woman outside?
A look of understanding flashed across his eyes.
The Crown Prince had not been in the palace during this period. Most of the time, he was nowhere to be found.
Could it be...
Li Chengqian didn't explain.
After all, the fewer people who knew about this, the better.
Li Chengqian wasn't idle either.
After the young eunuch hurriedly sent someone out, he hurriedly left the palace again without even drinking water.
However, this time, he brought three of the Crown Prince's guards with him. They were all disguised as commoners and hurried to the Reclining Lane.
In the Reclining Lane.
Among Li Chengqian's guards, there was an old soldier around 50 years old. Li Chengqian had once found him by chance in the navy training camp near Reclining Square.
The reason why he came here was because the veteran had once said that this place was a mix of crooks and honest folk. Basically, all of them were retired old and weak soldiers. In order to survive, they did the dirtiest and most tiring jobs. Sometimes, they would even become armed escorts to earn money to support their families.
When the four of them arrived at the Reclining Lane, the sky was almost dark.
Li Chengqian's guard commander was called Lu Yan.
He was once a fierce person who walked out of the Reclining Lane.
At this moment, when he arrived at the entrance of the Reclining Lane, he met those disabled veterans who were cooling off by the roadside.
"Yo! Isn't this Lu Yan? Why did you come back? Were you chased out by the Crown Prince? "
"Hahaha, Old Lu, you haven't come back for half a year! How is it? Is the Crown Prince's residence comfortable? I heard that the palace maids there are all fresh and beautiful. You old brat, don't tell me... "
Lu Yan's eyes were green.
His forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
"What are you all shouting about?"
"Shut up, all of you!"
These damned people.
Didn't the Crown Prince see his mother?
F * ck your grandmother.
"It doesn't matter! As long as you don't expose your identity. "
Li Chengqian smiled faintly and waved his folding fan, saying faintly in Lu Yan's ear.
Lu Yan's body couldn't help but stiffen for a moment.
He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to turn back, let alone kneel down and salute. He could only brace himself and wave his hand.
"What the hell are you all doing? I came here today to find a way to get rich. I pitied you bunch of bastards, but looking at you now... Forget it, go and beg! Lao Tzu went to find Blind Chen! "
"Brother, don't, don't, don't! Please don't do this! "
When everyone heard this, they instantly became anxious.
What was this?
The God of Fortune was here!
Hurriedly, everyone crowded around the three of them and sat on the stools by the roadside. They fanned themselves and massaged Lu Yan's legs. Although Lu Yan didn't mention Li Chengqian's identity, and Li Chengqian was dressed ordinarily, everyone only treated him as someone who worked for the Crown Prince.
The few of them looked at each other and chatted with Lv Yan, talking about camaraderie and whatnot.
Lu Yan was afraid that they would annoy the Crown Prince, so he waved his hand and said, "Since I'm here today, I'll be frank. I'm here to find a mason. Recently, I heard that a young master bought a plot of land near Zhongnan Mountain, about fifty thousand mu. He's going to build it now. As for the salary, I, Old Lu, will not mistreat you. However, the craftsmanship must be done according to the construction of the Imperial Forest Park.
Everyone heard this.
Their eyes widened.
However, everyone's expression was somewhat awkward.
"Well, Old Lu, it's not that we don't agree, but you know this Cripple Wang, right? He took a big job, which is the small tavern in Hui Tong Fang. He's making bamboo bottles for the shopkeeper, so... he's not free! "
