Chapter 157 Violently beat up the prince
The other aristocratic families in Pingkangfang saw that the mad woman of Li Jing's family had so easily stuffed a second grandson into the Chongxian Hall, and couldn't help turning their minds in surprise.
"Sanlang, Master Chu is here."
"who?"
"Chu Jia Dalang."
Qin Lang didn't remember who Chu Dalang was for a moment, but he didn't realize until Yiqi approached him and crossed his hands to salute. The Chu family is very famous in the literary world. The Chu family in Yangzhai, Yuzhou, has been a bigwig in the literary world for several generations.
Chu Liang’s great-grandfather served Nanliang as a doctor of royal history, his grandfather was a Prince Sheren, his father was a secretary supervisor of Nanchen, and he himself was a servant in the Palace of Shangshu in the Chen Dynasty, a scholar in the East Palace in the Sui Dynasty, and a doctor in Emperor Yangdi Taichang. The famous Yang Guang was jealous of the talents of these people, so he killed Xue Daoheng and Wang Zhou, and relegated Chu Liang.
Yang Guang's literary talents are quite famous, and the few masters who can make him jealous of murder and relegation are naturally even more outstanding. Later, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Chu Liang was recruited by the overlord Xue Ju of the Western Qin Dynasty to be the prime minister. After the defeat of the Xue family, he returned to the Tang Dynasty with his son and became Li Shimin's 18th scholar.
This Chu Suiliang is the eldest son of Chu Liang. He had been helping his father in the scholar's residence before, and studied calligraphy from Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan. After Li Shimin became the prince, he changed the Xiuwen Museum under his family to the Hongwen Museum, with the original Eighteenth Bachelor of Qin Wangfu, and his official and Hongwen Museum bachelor.
But because Du Ruhui and other scholars are now holding important positions, the affairs of the Hongwen Library are usually presided over by Chu Suiliang, so he is called the owner of the library.
The emperor newly established the Chongxian Hall. Originally Chu Suiliang was also a popular choice for the owner of the hall, but somehow, Qin Lang became the owner of the hall. On the contrary, Chu Suiliang, a great calligrapher, is now transferred from Hongwen Hall to Chongxian Hall by the emperor. He is one of the eighteen direct bachelors and is responsible for teaching calligraphy to the prince and others.
Speaking of which, Chu Suiliang is now Qin Lang's employee.
"Suiliang pays homage to the museum owner!"
Qin Lang has always respected and resented those who are particularly good at calligraphy, because he was forced to learn calligraphy for ten years when he was a child. , Practicing calligraphy, I don’t know how many sticks of the pen were bald, and how many bottles of ink were used up, but in the end I failed to become a calligrapher as my father wished, and the handwriting was still very ordinary.
So at that time, Qin Lang especially hated calligraphy, and even those who were good at calligraphy eventually became disgusted.
Chu Suiliang was in his early thirties, but he was known as one of the four masters of Tang Dynasty in calligraphy, which made Qin Lang unavoidably envious and jealous.
He squeaked and squirmed for a long time.
"Chu Dalang has something to do, but it's okay to say!"
Chu Suiliang said coyly that he also wanted his son to study in Chongxian Hall.
His son is six years old, not qualified for his age, and Chu Suiliang's grade is not enough. His father is just a county boy.
But seeing Zhang Chuchen stuffing his second grandson in so easily, Chu Suiliang was also moved.
"I think it's a big deal, Chu Dalang, you are a direct scholar of our Chongxian Hall, a teacher of the prince, and you send your own children to study in the library, so you just take care of it. I am in charge of this matter and accept it."
"Thank you, owner!" Chu Suiliang was very happy.
Chu Suiliang thanked him a thousand times, and then hurried back on horseback to send his son to school.
········
When Qin Lang rode out of Pingkangfang Gate, he was already followed by more than a dozen young children. They were all the children of nobles and high-ranking officials in the workshop. They were originally not selected for the Chongxian Hall, but now they all went to Qin Lang's back door to join the class. Qin Lang accepted these noble children with a smile.
East Palace, Chongxian Pavilion.
It's three o'clock in the morning.
Qin Lang sat on a small horse with a backrest, holding a whip in his hand, and beside him was his family soldier, the Black Cloud Long Sword Squad. Because it is in the East Palace, apart from the armor and sword, each of them only holds eyebrow-level sticks and stands behind him on both sides, guarding the gate of the pavilion.
Cheng Yaojin came over to strike up a chat with Qin Lang in the name of patrolling with a super-carrying army.
After a few words, the impatient old Cheng turned to the matter of letting his son join the class.
Old Cheng now has six sons, the eldest is Chumo, and now he is the captain of Baiqi, Qianniu Beishen, and the second is Chuliang, who is the captain of the Zuowei Guard. Chubi, the third eldest, is Donggong Yiwei. These three are all descendants, and they are also older, and they are not well-educated. Wei is bad.
"Sanlang, you, Uncle Cheng, don't I still have three rebellious sons born from concubines. They didn't grow up when they were young, but these three guys are only born from concubines. They can't compare with Chu Mo and Chu Liang, who are legitimate sons. No matter how bad it is in the future, it won’t be too bad. But Chucun Chuli and Cheng Jun, if they don’t work hard, they won’t even be able to become officials in the future.”
"Uncle Cheng thinks, the relationship between our two families has always been good, right? Now that you are the owner of the Chongxian Hall here, I just want you to do me a favor by recruiting your younger brothers to study here."
Old Cheng was a little embarrassed. He asked his sons to come to Chongxian Hall to study, which was a bit too demanding, but as a father, if he didn't find a way out for the sons, who would care about them in the future.
"Uncle Cheng, as long as you are between seven and ten years old, you can send it."
"Send them all?" Old Cheng was taken aback for a moment, originally he wanted to let Qin Lang choose one of the three concubines to come over to study, but he actually said to send them all.
"Send them all if you want, but, although they can be collected in the Chongxian Hall, they won't be the prince's class."
Old Cheng patted his chest, "As long as you can enter the Chongxian Hall, it doesn't matter whether you are in the same class as the prince or not."
For him, if the concubine is sent to the Chongxian Hall, it will be gold-plated. In the future, it will be enough to have the name of the prince's classmate. Really expecting a concubine to send in, can he play with the crown prince as brothers?
Old Cheng laughed and left.
Yu Chigong is here again. Yu Chigong left, and Hou Junji came again.
Qin Lang was very puzzled, why don't these guys have to attend the court meeting or do things today?
However, seeing that it was five o'clock and five o'clock, none of the thirty-six Chongxian Hall students appointed by the emperor had arrived. On the contrary, none of the accompanying students arrived.
Even Qin Lang is waiting here for all the extras that Qin Lang accepted after leaving today.
Pei Xingjian brought Qin Lang a cup of tea, "Sanlang drink water."
Pei Xingjian is now the same as Luo Tong. They are adopted by Qin Qiong as adoptive sons and raised in Qinrenfang. This time when the Chongxian Hall opened, Qin Qiong's three sons were only two or three years old. Pei Xingjian, who was about the same age as Li Cunxiao, picked him up and let him join the shift.
Chu Suiliang and other eighteen direct scholars stood in front of the hall, looking at the quiet scene, feeling a little helpless.
Thirty-six students, each has a great background. Although yesterday the owner of the pavilion repeatedly confessed not to be late today, it seems that they didn't take it to heart.
"Close the museum door!" Qin Lang stood up.
"Master, the prince and the others haven't arrived yet."
"I know, but the time has come, close the door of the museum." Qin Lang still insisted.
Heiyun Changjian's soldiers stepped forward with a serious face, and slowly pushed the two doors of the pavilion.
The prince's attendant, Sun Xiang, came on horseback, "Wait a minute, the prince will be here soon."
Qin Lang snorted coldly, "Close!"
Chang Sun Xiang arrived, but the door of the museum was closed tightly. In the distance, Prince Chengqian was still walking unhurriedly under a team of Prince Qianniu and his bodyguards.
"What's going on here?" The prince walked to the closed door of the library and asked Sun Xiang, the chief reader.
The prince attends this official, not an accompanying student. To be precise, this is half of the prince’s teacher, or equivalent to the prince’s counselor. This is an official position.
Changsun Xiang is the nephew of Empress Changsun, and his father, Changsun Anshi, is currently the coordinator. He has been Chengqian's attendant since he was three years old, and has been with him for five years.
"I told them to open the door quickly."
Chairman Sun Xiang yelled at the hall, but no one paid any attention.
The angry eldest Sun Xiang climbed directly to the door.
After finally climbing to the door, Qin Lang stabbed him down with a stick and fell on his back.
"His Royal Highness, you are already late. Today is the first day Chongxian Hall opens, and His Highness is actually late."
Chengqian said to Qin Lang with a smile through the crack of the door, "Qin Sanlang, I got up late in the morning, so I quickly opened the door to let Gu in."
"There is no rule without rules. Yesterday, I was solemnly told not to be late, but His Highness ignored it at all. If this is the case, I will stand outside the hall today!"
"Saburo is joking, open the door and let Gu go in."
Qin Lang snorted coldly, "Stand!"
Cheng Qian was taken aback by this merciless order. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help feeling a little bit annoyed, but seeing Qin Lang's black face through the crack of the door, he was inexplicably afraid, and finally didn't dare to make a sound. .
The prince stepped aside embarrassingly, lowered his head, his eyes turned rosy involuntarily, and he wanted to cry for no reason.
Elder Sun Xiang came over to comfort him, and said that he would report Qin Lang's rudeness to the emperor, but after talking for a long time, the prince turned angry at him, "Get out!"
The sun rises.
One after another, the princes and princes finally came.
The second prince Li Kuan, the king of Chu, the third prince Li Ke, the king of Han, the fourth prince Li Tai, the king of Wei, and the fifth prince Li You, the king of Yan.
In addition, the Dou family of the Empress Dowager, the family of the eldest grandson of the Empress, as well as the children of the prime ministers and the Duke of Shifeng also came here one after another.
When they saw the prince standing at the gate of the closed Chongxian Hall, they were quite surprised.
The second prince Li Kuan stepped forward and asked, "Brother Emperor, why is the Chongxian Hall not open?"
Wei Wang Li Tai also said, "Could it be that Qin Sanlang hasn't gotten up yet? Yesterday he called us to come early, but he was late today."
Prince Li Chengqian said nothing, glanced at his younger brothers, and continued to stand there watching the sunrise.
Although both Li Tai and Li Kuan are the sons of the emperor Li Shimin, they were actually adopted by the third son Xuanba of Wei and the fifth son Zhiyun of Chu, who died young, as the heirs of the Supreme Emperor several years ago. He was officially conferred the title of prince, which was one level higher than Chengqian's title before.
According to the patriarchal system of this era, after adoption, it is no longer a father-son relationship. For example, Qingque Li Tai, after adopting Xuanba as his son, he is no longer Li Shimin's son. He has to be called Uncle Li Shimin, and Li Kuan adopted him. As Li Zhiyun's son, he also wanted to call Li Shimin his uncle. They were no longer Li Shimin's sons, and they also inherited the title of stepfather.
However, after the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin took these two sons back to the East Palace. In fact, he was unwilling to let these two sons succeed. .
Li Tai was originally proposed by Li Shimin to be adopted by his third younger brother Xuanba to inherit the state of Wei. He was no longer Chengqian's brother, nor did he have the right to inherit Li Shimin. The two brothers have actually been estranged for five years.
"Open the door!" Li Tai shouted. At such a young age, he has been out of the palace to inherit the state for five years, so he has a different momentum.
A team of guards came forward and was about to knock on the door, but the door opened.
Qin Lang sat behind the door, his gaze coldly glanced at a group of students.
"I was late for school when the library opened on the first day. Everyone stood outside the door for me. The rest of the guards and servants waited outside the East Palace for me immediately."
After finishing speaking, Qin Lang turned around and said to the soldiers behind him, "I will beat out the disobedient guards and servants, and hang up the disobedient Chongxian Hall students."
Wei Wang Li Tai pointed at Qin Lang, "You are so courageous!"
Qin Lang glanced at the chubby Li Tai, "Tie up His Royal Highness King Wei."
Two of Qin Lang's personal soldiers immediately stepped forward, tied his hands behind his back with a tendon rope, and then inserted a long stick between his arms behind his back, pinning him in front of the door.
A group of guards of the Wei Kingdom exploded and rushed forward one after another.
Qin Lang just snorted coldly, "Call me!"
The soldiers of the Black Cloud Long Sword Squad, who were born as bandits and had traveled south and north with Qin Lang, stepped forward without saying a word, and smashed them with brow-level sticks. Although these guards were quite capable, they were not The opponents fled in a hurry, and were all knocked down in no time.
Then he tied his hands with a cowhide band and was driven out of the Eastern Palace.
After Li Tai, a young bird in his early years, was beaten, Li Kuan, King of Chu, Li Ke, King of Han, and Li You, King of Yan, all became honest.
The crown prince Chengqian laughed unkindly at this moment.
Qin Lang followed the reputation, Chengqian quickly collapsed, and then continued to stand there looking at the red sun.
All the guards and entourages were driven out of the Chongxian Pavilion and rushed to the gate of the East Palace.
Outside the gate of the palace, thirty-six Zhengsheng students from the Chongxian Hall stood outside the door with their necks hunched, just like chickens who lost their hen's wings.
Only the little fat man Li Tai was dissatisfied with seven and eight disagreed. Since Wude four years ago when he was adopted to Wei Wang Xuanba as his heir, when did he suffer this loss?
The Supreme Emperor doted on him, and the Emperor doted on him.
Almost spoiled.
It is unreasonable to be so humiliated by Qin Sanlang now.
Qin Lang not only punished the princes and sons for standing, but also called the accompanying students to watch.
Chu Suiliang and other direct scholars stood far away, not daring to come over at all.
"This Qin Sanlang is too bold." Chu Suiliang was secretly startled.
Someone said, "I must report to His Majesty immediately."
"It's better to invite Li Zhan to come over first!"
