Chapter 67: I'm a Lobbyist

Lin Xiu was a little puzzled. It’s all my business that you, Li Chengqian, have a woman you like, I’m not your father-in-law!

So Lin Xiu said casually: "The girl who can be regarded by the crown prince must be from a famous family, and her talent and cultivation are the best choices. Otherwise, how can she be worthy of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Brother Lin is right!" Li Dejian also added.

Lin Xiu smiled mysteriously, but actually wanted to say to Li Dejian: You don’t understand!

Li Chengqian didn't understand either, but nodded happily, enjoying Lin Xiu's flattery.

Next, the banquet continued.

The aged imperial wine has a high degree of degree. After drinking a pot, Li Chengqian was a little drunk and leaned lazily on the soft couch, so that he could feed him wine.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiu felt that it would be better to let her dress up in women's clothing, at least she could enjoy the pleasure of the eyes, but now the scene is disgusting.

I wonder if they would feed wine with their mouths when they were alone?

As for Li Dejian and Changsun Chong, their faces were flushed, but they were still very clear and hadn't started talking nonsense yet.

Lin Xiu was normal, he had a pound of two pounds, and this little wine did not even reach the state of being slightly drunk.

Seeing that the drink was almost done, Lin Xiu gave Li Dejian a look and prepared to say goodbye and leave the palace.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an eunuch hurried into the hall and reported, "Report to the Crown Prince, Lord Sun has not waited for His Highness in Chongwen Hall, so he came to ask for his Highness to see him, and he is already outside the hall."

Li Chengqian suddenly sat up, patted his forehead and said, "It's broken, why did you forget about this? Today, Shen Shisan, Old Man Sun gave a lecture! Hurry up, I'll say that I'm not feeling well and ask him to go back!"

The inner official hurried out to pass the message.

Lin Xiu looked at Li Dejian, who explained in a low voice: "I am talking about Lord Sun Yingda. He is not only the Imperial College, but also serves as the prince's lecturer!"

Lin Xiu naturally heard of Sun Yingda's reputation. He was the 31st generation grandson of Confucius. He was knowledgeable and talented.

From this we can also see that Li Shimin valued Li Chengqian, and the ones selected were all great scholars as his lecturers, including not only Sun Yingda, but also Lu Deming, Yu Zhining and others, as well as Wei Zheng.

Unfortunately, sometimes being respectful is also a pressure. When Li Chengqian can't bear it, he can only resist.

Soon, the inner official who went out to deliver the message returned to the hall and hesitated while talking.

"What happened? Tell me!" Li Chengqian was displeased and asked immediately.

The eunuch reported: "Report to the Crown Prince, Lord Sun is unwilling to leave, and insists on seeing His Highness, and says... He also said that he would not see His Highness, so he went directly to the palace to meet the holy."

"It's outrageous! This man surnamed Sun relies on his own Ming Jing and his general history, and has some talent to learn. He is so arrogant and doesn't take this palace seriously at all! If he doesn't want to leave, then let him stand forever! If he has the ability to stand until he dies of old age!" Li Chengqian drank some wine, his temper also rose and cursed directly.

The eunuch and the palace maid were so scared that they were silent and did not dare to speak.

Changsun glanced at Lin Xiu, who was not drunk, and immediately had a plan and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, Lord Sun is the attendant of the Eastern Palace appointed by the saint, and he is also older. If he keeps standing outside, it is not in line with respect for his teacher. If he makes trouble for the saint, the saint will definitely scold His Highness. But we are all drinking at this time, and it is indeed not suitable to see him, so as not to see him before seeing the scene at this time, complaining and impeachment. I see Lin Xiu's face is not changed, and there is no trace of drinking on his face. Why would you please invite him out and try to lobby Lord Sun to leave? "

"No!" Li Dejian immediately refused: "Your Highness, Lin Xiu has never seen Lord Sun before, so it is difficult to succeed in lobbying directly. I think it is better to invite Lord Sun in. Although we drink, we have no sense of sensation. Lord Sun is upright and fair, and will face it."

Li Chengqian frowned and said decisively: "It's not necessary to invite in. I understand Old Man Sun's temperament, it's better not to see him. In addition, the minister Sun Chong said right. He kept standing. If something happened, it would be troublesome. Lin Xiu, would you like to give it a try? Let me see your eloquence?"

"Okay!" Lin Xiu agreed without refusing, and then gave Li Dejian a reassuring look, then stood up and walked out.

When I walked out of Cheng'en Hall, I saw an old man standing on the stone steps outside the hall.

Although people reach old age, their backs are straight and their eyes are not turbid, which is a kind of clearness.

At first glance, Lin Xiu knew that Master Sun Yingda was a decent man and had been raising Haoran since childhood.

"Student Lin Xiu pays homage to the Master!" Lin Xiu stepped forward to salute. He was the Imperial College student in the Imperial College. It was not an exaggeration to call himself a student.

When Lin Xiu walked out of the hall, Sun Yingda looked at him, looking at him like a green pine and a unique temperament. She nodded secretly in her heart, just curious who he was, but she didn't expect him to come to pay a visit.

"Lin Xiu? So it's you!" Sun Yingda smiled and said, "The child who lost his room was saved as soon as he returned to Chang'an and saved the Turkic mission. It was not bad. I have not answered the answer to your question of Bear Falling in the Big Cave."

A question about the big hole in the bear?

Lin Xiu's mouth subconsciously twitched, and then said seriously: "The Master has praised it!"

Sun Yingda asked again: "Why are you in the East Palace? The prince is drinking again, asking you to come out and be a lobbyist?"

Lin Xiu said: "The prince invited me and dared not to come. His Highness did drink some wine, so he had a headache and did not dare to see the Master. In the end, the Master was really as expected and guessed that I was a lobbyist!"

"You are honest and don't talk a lot. Since you are a lobbyist, how do you want to persuade me?" Sun Yingda was not angry, but asked curiously.

Lin Xiu asked back: "Master Sun, the student dared to ask: Can the prince not drink alcohol?"

"Of course you can drink alcohol, but alcohol is a poison that penetrates the intestines. Drinking too much is useless. As the prince, you should focus on your studies. If you are greedy for drinking, how can you govern the world in the future?" Sun Yingda shouted.

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "What the Master taught is that greed is a mistake, especially in governing the world, and it is not easy to be careless. I believe that the Master has taught the prince many times, and the prince also understands this truth in his heart. Why do he still repeatedly violate the crime?"

"Hmph, why do you repeatedly violate the teachings? You cannot be strict with yourself and cannot prove your original intention. A villain is not good at living in idleness and goes everything. He will be disgusted with the gentleman when he sees his badness and obeys his goodness. If a person treats himself, it is better if he sees his lungs and livers. This means being sincere in the middle and manifests himself outside, so a gentleman must be careful of his own self!" Sun Yingda said sternly.

Lin Xiuze said: "The Master quoted "The Great Learning", and the student was not talented, and quoted "The Analects of Confucius". Confucius said: I am determined to learn at 150, and I am determined to be a student at 30, and I am not confused at 40, and I am not confused at 50, and I am aware of the destiny at 60, and I am obedient at 70, and I am not obeying the rules when I want to do anything. The sage Confucius was not confused by external things at 40, and now the prince is not in a position before he can stand. How can he not be tempted by fine wine?"

Sun Yingda smiled and asked, "Then do you mean we are harsh on the prince?"

"Students dare not! The saints today ask you to teach the prince because they want to cultivate the prince. Because for ordinary people, they can stand at thirty, not confused at forty, and know the destiny of heaven at fifty. But for the prince today, he is the crown prince, shouldering the people of the Tang Dynasty and must make more efforts. What he bears is not the self, but the people. The saint said: Career is proficient in diligence and waste, actions are accomplished in thinking and destroyed in following, so the students understand that the Master is angry not because His Highness the Crown Prince performs poorly, but because the Prince is lazy and not diligent, and has no ambition in his heart!" Lin Xiu explained.
