Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

……

Royal Palace.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Er asked: "Gao Chen, have the scribes outside the door left yet?"

Gao Chen said: "Your Majesty, there are as many as 50 scribes kneeling outside asking for orders, and they refuse to leave."

Li Er sneered.

Then he was full of doubts: "That boy Chen Chu, why hasn't he moved? It's been several days. Could it be that he doesn't understand what I mean? Do you want me to tell him in person? Or, he thinks that the pencil business is Not worth mentioning!"

Back then, when Li Er issued an order, he clearly announced it to the world, and all of this was caused by a pencil.

He expected that Confucian literati would use this to attack Du He.

Even banning pencils.

What happened later was exactly as Li Er expected.

According to his guess, Chen Chu would definitely act impatiently.

But it's been a few days with no movement.

Li Er was a little unconfident.

Just when he was depressed.

But a eunuch rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang sent a memorial."

Yuan Tiangang?

Li Er was taken aback.

What's the matter with Yuan Tiangang here?

Could it be that the Taoism represented by Yuan Tiangang also banned pencils?

He picked up the memorial, looked at it carefully, and immediately frowned.

After a while, Li Er was also a little messy.

This memorial was specially presented by Yuan Tiangang. Firstly, he purposely explained Chen Chu’s identity, and secondly, he told Li Er that this pencil was invented by your ancestor Li Er. Let everyone in the world use pencils.

Li Er was astonished.

He originally wanted Chen Chu to deal with those scholars.

Who knew, as soon as Chen Chu made a move, it made a big news.

Snapped.

Li Er was so angry that he threw the memorial on the ground, and said angrily: "Yuan Tiangang is so old, is he a stupid ass, he can't see it, is this a trap by Chen Chu? Chen Chu, boy, I let him take action , he was good enough to pull the Daoist sect in at once... Daoist sect and Confucianism sect have always been incompatible, now..."

Ugh!

Li Er rubbed his temples with headache.

He was in a mess.

Until the arrival of Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun put down the snacks, and said happily: "Second brother, you should be happy, Chen Chu has acted according to your wish..."

Li Er also said depressedly: "It's true that he made a move, but he didn't pull the Taoism into it as I thought. Now, it is no longer a battle between Chen Chu and the Confucian literati, but the Confucian sect. In the fight with the Daoist sect, what about Chen Chu, he jumped out right away... If you want to talk about cunning, no one in this world can compare to Chen Chu... Sigh, I don't know whether to be happy or angry!"

Empress Changsun laughed and said: "Second brother should be happy. Chen Chu is a beautiful husband and also our son-in-law. Isn't it good to have such a smart son-in-law!"

Li Er: "..."

Others only knew that Chen Chu somehow became Yuan Tiangang's junior.

However, only Li Er could see that Chen Chu's move was quite clever, and he directly put himself out of the matter.

Li Er waved his hand and said, "Come here, tell Yuan Tiangang that enough is enough, and don't mess around."

……

The gate of Ganlu Hall.

Gao Chen told Yuan Tiangang what Li Er meant.

Yuan Tiangang turned his head, glanced at the dozens of literati kneeling at the door, and said with emotion: "There is a long way to go... I wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Confucianism, but I didn't expect His Majesty to be scruples, alas..."

He is unwilling!

Turn away.

……

(The fourth change, the one owed yesterday, has been made up)

Chapter 177

The originally vigorous Daoist activities suddenly died down.

When Chen Chu heard the news, he hurried to the Santian Temple in the west of the city.

As soon as he entered, he saw a few Taoist priests coming forward to greet him: "Master Uncle..."

Chen Chu asked, "Where is your master?"

A Taoist priest's complexion changed, and he stammered: "Master... Uncle Master, Master is an old man who has traveled all over the world, and he doesn't know when he will be back."

Travel around?

Chen Chu sneered.

I was drinking with Lao Yuan yesterday.

Old Yuan Lingding was very drunk, and he didn't say that he planned to travel.

Chen Chu walked straight in.

Several Taoist priests came to stop him, but he pushed them lightly and flew out.

Chen Chu walked directly into the backyard.

I saw Yuan Tiangang sitting cross-legged on a futon, sighing.

Chen Chu asked: "Old Yuan, why are you so sad? You want to hide from me. When you need me, Chen Chu, I will be your junior brother. Now it's all right. Turn your face and deny anyone, right?"

Yuan Tiangang looked startled, turned his head to look, and stood up abruptly, "Junior brother, you... how do you know I'm here?"

Chen Chu chuckled: "Guess... Tell me, old Yuan, why didn't you fight against Confucianism? A few days ago, it was still in full swing, but today there is no news. What's going on?"

Yuan Tiangang sighed and said: "Junior Brother, I have reported your matter to Your Majesty. I wanted His Majesty to give you an identity, and then let him decree to admit that the pencil was invented by Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, so as to combat the arrogance of Confucianism." Arrogance... Who would have thought that His Majesty not only didn't do this, but also warned the old man not to let me do anything wrong..."

Chen Chu asked in surprise: "So you compromised?"

Yuan Tiangang took out the wine gourd, took a sip, and said, "Junior brother, you have to know that your arms can't twist your thighs..."

Yuan Tiangang is young and well-informed.

Since the Sui Dynasty, he has been wandering around the rivers and lakes. After seeing a lot, he naturally knows that there are many things in this world that cannot be changed by human power.

He is bearish!

I also looked away.

Chen Chu stepped forward, grabbed Yuan Tiangang's wine gourd, and threw it on the ground.

The wine gourd was broken open and the wine spilled.

Yuan Tiangang looked at Chen Chu angrily.

Chen Chu said: "Old Yuan, an arm can be twisted through a thigh, and in more than one case, an adult's arm can definitely be twisted through a child's thigh, and my arm can be twisted through your thigh..."

Yuan Tiangang: "..."

It makes sense.

Yuan Tiangang was stunned for a moment, and said: "The old man knows what you mean, but this matter..."

"There is another way," Chen Chu said, "Father doesn't want us to make trouble, so let's force him."

"Forcing Your Majesty?"

"Correct!"

Yuan Tiangang's expression changed drastically: "Junior brother, you are playing with fire..."

"No, no, father will thank us then." Chen Chu said with a smile.

If you force it, you will force it.

He doesn't care at all!

Yuan Tiangang asked worriedly: "But, in this way, our Daoist sect will be in danger, maybe we will never recover!"

Chen Chu waved his hand: "No, now, the reason why the Taoist sect can't compete with the Confucian sect is because the strength is too weak, so we have to pull more people to end..."

"you……"

Yuan Tiangang was completely stunned by Chen Chu's plan.

After hearing this, Yuan Tiangang felt a little emotional. He asked, "Do it now?"

Chen Chu waved his hand: "No, no, it's not the time yet, let's calm down for a while, and wait for the Confucianists to be arrogant for a few days..."

"Okay, Junior Brother, this time, the old man will listen to you." Yuan Tiangang said proudly.

……

Hedong.

Jinju.

A small mountain village in a remote courtyard.

In the dilapidated small yard.

A young woman was weeping while she was working.

From time to time she looked west.

That is the direction of Chang'an City.

"Husband, you must return safely!"

"They don't believe that you can sell mud to Chang'an, but I do!"

As she spoke, the woman wiped away her tears again.

At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a half-grown child came in with a round head and said, "Sister-in-law, Da Lang is back..."

"Da Lang?"

"Sister-in-law, everyone in the village has gone to the entrance of the village. When Dalang came back this time, there was a lot of commotion!"

Saying that, the child ran away in a hurry.

The woman hurriedly wiped her hands, wiped away her tears, and ran towards the entrance of the village with a happy face.

When she arrived at the entrance of the village, she realized that the whole village had been mobilized.

Everyone stood at the entrance of the village, looking forward to it.

The old man of the village is supported by someone.

The woman stepped forward and asked, "Third Uncle, has Da Lang come back? Why didn't you see him?"

The old man said: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry. Early this morning, Ergou went to the town to sell wild boars. He said that he saw your Dalang and those young children in the village. They were riding tall horses and followed by a carriage. Going to the best Zhao’s house for dinner, I guess we will be in the village at noon... I heard from Er Gou that your Dalang is wearing silk and satin, very stylish, it seems that he has really made a fortune..."

"Dalang..."

The woman couldn't help crying again.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Master Xue is back!"

Everyone looked up and saw a group of people appearing in the distant rice fields.

It was Xue Li and Xue Rengui who rode a healthy horse at the forefront.

Behind him are a few young people from the village.
