Everyone in Chang'an knows that Wei Zheng is a critic. Everyone has also heard the story of Wei Zheng's blunt remonstrance, which forced Li Shimin to cover his beloved bird to death.

Eleven years after entering Zhenguan, from January to May, Wei Zheng played every three days on average, causing the saint to get angry every day in Chengqing Hall.

But even if he got angry, he had to be rewarded, which made Cheng Chubi and other guards working in the Chengqing Hall fearful all day long, for fear that the saint would spread his anger on them.

Recently, the person Wei Tao was impeaching was the Prince of the East Palace, saying that his daily life was too luxurious, and he also liked to go to temples and compete with monks. He bluntly said that his behavior was no different from Liu Chan.

The prince's teacher, Yu Zhining, followed suit, and Shangshu agreed with Wei Zheng, saying that he was having fun with the eunuchs in the palace, and even compared him to the Second Emperor of Qin.

In fact, Li Chengqian composed all the sutras in Yanxing Temple in memory of Queen Wende.

But Li Shimin didn't listen to the prince's explanation at all. He not only asked him to apologize to his husband, but also banned him.

People in the court and the public discussed one after another that even a person with a thousand chariots could not compare to Wei Zheng's chapter. Your Majesty is indeed a wise king through the ages. He accepts advice with an open mind and will not be biased just because he is a prince.

Li Shimin, who was feeling sulky in the palace, changed his clothes at Changsun Wuji's suggestion, went out of the palace to have a look, drink some wine, and relax.

What a coincidence, as soon as I arrived outside the restaurant, I met Du Jing who was patrolling the street with two Wuhou Wuhou.

Li Shimin smiled slightly, turned to Changsun Wuji and said: "Auxiliary machine, today's drink money is settled!"

"Du Jing! Come here!"

Well?

Du Jing never dreamed that he would meet the emperor in a white dragon fish suit on the street. Oh, I also missed mentioning Changsun Wuji.

Let the captain lead the team to go first, Du Jing walked over, saw the emperor blinking at him, and said with understanding: "I've seen Mr. Li! Why are you here?"

As for Li Shimin, he patted him on the shoulder naturally and said with a smile: "I'm here to have a drink with you. How is this place?"

The emperor asked him to drink with him? This is pure nonsense. If Du Jing believed this, he would be so stupid to find a rope to hang himself. Could it be Changle, what did she say to the emperor?

Sensing Du Jing's strange look, Changsun Wuji helped: "Why, General Du refuses to show his favor?"

On the left is a fire-breathing dragon, and on the right is an old fox that eats people without spitting out bones. Can Du Jing not give in? He can only act flattered and follow the two of them in to ask for a single room.

Judging from the frequency with which Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji clinked glasses, the emperor was in a bad mood, while the old Changsun always kept smiling. Du Jing knew in his heart how terrifying the old Changsun was beneath that smiling face.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson made some complaints. The content was nothing more than how difficult it is for parents to toss and turn and get wet when they are pushed dry.

Changsun Wuji, on the other hand, intercedes for the prince as his uncle. He is not afraid of another quarrel with Wei Zheng over this. Anyway, after so many years, he has long been used to it.

Hearing this, Du Jing, who was acting as a waiter, felt anxious. It would be better if he didn't just come to see him.

"Boy Du, do you think it is right or wrong for me to ban the crown prince?"

Asking a favored general about this kind of thing, not to mention Changsun Wuji was a little surprised, even Du Jing didn't understand what the emperor meant!

But if you don’t understand, you have to go back! After a little structure of words, Du Jing carefully replied: "A building is built to cover a house, and there is no resentment and anger. A weak son lays down the tiles, and a loving mother takes care of it. How about that your majesty is a king and father?"

Haha, after taking a sip of wine, Changsun Wuji echoed: "Sage, young people today are really good at talking!"

Yes! Du Jing's reply was quite level, beyond Li Shimin's expectation, he was polite, polite and measured.

It deliberately downplays the importance of the king among the fathers and increases the weight of the father. It compares the king's punishment of the prince to a father teaching his son. Whether it is light or heavy is decided by the father.

Moreover, saying this would not offend Changsun Wuji, who was interceding for the prince. No one would be offended by taking care of both. Could a warrior say it so quickly in a hurry?

Li Shimin nodded and smiled, then asked: "Boss Du, do you still have parents? How did they teach you?"

Du Jing also replied in a calm tone: "I don't have such a blessing. I grew up in the market since I was a child. If the Duke of Wuyang County had not made an exception and took me in, I would still be begging for food."

But what Du Jing said obviously did not satisfy Li Shimin. Everyone has parents, could it be that Du Jing just jumped out of the crack in the stone?

Seeing the emperor staring at him with bright eyes, Du Jing might not be able to walk out of this restaurant if he didn't shake off some real information and give the emperor a satisfactory answer.

After calming down, Du Jing tried his best to control his emotions and said: "Chen's mother was just a concubine. She died in childbirth when she gave birth to Chen. As for Chen's father, he was just a minor official."

Liangzhou is located in a border area, where wars are ongoing all year round, and the number of petty officials in prefectures and counties changes almost every year. The locals cannot remember it at all, and there are only a few records in the state.

As long as the name matches the name, the number of years is limited, and there is no way to implement it on the ground. Therefore, it is appropriate to use this to block the emperor's mouth.

"It's not easy to survive. When I was young, my biggest thought every day was to have enough food, and being a soldier and eating enough food was the best choice."

"I still remember the day I first joined the Liangzhou Army. Governor Li rewarded me with three pieces of Hu cakes, a bowl of Hu spicy soup, and some words that will benefit me throughout my life."

Li Daliang told him: A soldier never knows when he will lie in a grave. He will become a stone tablet with no name and no one to pay homage to him, or a cold paragraph in the newspaper, or even a bastard hated by the person you love the most.

.

No one knows who you are, no one knows what you have done, it is as if you have never lived and blended into the sand of Liangzhou.

Some people are born with everything, but he is just an ant. If he wants to fill his stomach and survive, he can only rely on fighting for his life. He joined the army at the age of thirteen and fought in more than a hundred battles, all he fought for was a bowl of food.

Well, after hearing this, Li Shimin also sighed: "It's not easy for the people to survive!"

......

Du Jing paid for the drinks. He didn't know if he had passed the test, so he could only watch the emperor and Changsun Wuji leave.

After walking for a while, Li Shimin turned around and asked Changsun Wuji who was beside him: "Auxiliary machine, do you think he is telling the truth?"

Changsun Wuji still understands the emperor. The fact that he can ask this question means that Du Jing is already in the emperor's heart. Just like he fell in love with Ma Zhou back then, this boy's rise to prominence is just around the corner.

There is no need to step on someone who the emperor likes and will come up to him sooner or later, not to mention that he just helped the prince, so Changsun Wuji can only ask the emperor to make his own decisions.

Haha, "I like this young man. He is brave and never forgets his roots!"
