Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 49 Chapter 51: Crown Ceremony

After Li Hao thanked him, Changsun Wuji suddenly realized that Li Hao had really grown a lot taller after not seeing him for a year. He was almost as tall as himself, and he looked like a handsome young man. Has the crowning ceremony been performed?"

Li Hao's heart moved, he felt that Changsun Wuji would not ask this question for no reason, and he must have an intention, so he replied cautiously: "The boy is not from a clerical family, so I don't plan to perform the crowning ceremony."

"Oh, that's not what I said." Changsun Wuji stood up and walked in front of him, saying, "Now you are a magistrate appointed by His Majesty, and you have already entered the ranks of nobles. How can you not be crowned? Let's choose someone Good day, how about I come to crown you for you?" After speaking, Ruo looked at Li Hao meaningfully.

Li Hao finally understood what he was thinking. He wanted to use this to win him over. The ancients valued crown ceremony very much, and the crowned person is equivalent to a mentor to the crown recipient.

Changsun Wuji is the number one official in the Tang Dynasty, and even Fang Xuanling cannot be compared with him in terms of power and strategy. If he can be crowned, it will be a supreme honor, and it can be regarded as half a foot into the political circle of the Tang Dynasty , and he was branded as Changsun Wuji, and he will be regarded as Changsun Wuji's person in the future.

However, Li Hao kept in mind the advice given to him by Master Zhiyuan that "a tree that is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it", it is not a good thing to climb up the big tree of Changsun Wuji now, because his foundation is shallow.

As soon as he thought of this, he said: "Uncle Changsun may be disappointed. When the boy was in the army, he had worshiped Li Daozong, the chief of the army, as his teacher. At that time, Director Li said with a smile that if the boy held the crown ceremony one day, he would definitely do it for the boy himself. Crowned, so..."

Changsun Wuji was slightly disappointed when he heard the words, but he didn't show it, but smiled and waved his hands: "Forget it, since you have an appointment with Li Daozong in advance, I don't force you, if you perform the crowning ceremony, you must invite me to watch the ceremony ah."

"This is for sure." Li Hao bowed his hands, "If uncle has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

"En." Changsun Wuji nodded and asked the housekeeper to see off the guests.

Li Hao went around in a carriage and didn't go home, but went to Li Daozong's mansion. There was no way. This time, in order to reject Changsun Wuji, he moved out Li Daozong as a shield, and Changsun Wuji talked about that If it's up, he can't just talk and don't do it. The crowning ceremony really needs to be held so that the eldest grandson Wuji won't hold the conversation.

Although Li Daozong disliked Li Hao, but Li Hao had saved his life for him and his daughter, and he couldn't refuse, so he agreed to cooperate with him once, let him go home to choose a date, and then inform him to confer the crown, and it was finalized. Li Hao went back to his home because of the matter.

In fact, the moment Li Hao first entered Li Daozong's house, someone immediately returned to Zhao Wang's mansion to report to Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji's expression didn't change much after hearing this, he just nodded and said, "Got it, let's go down." Then he got up and slowed down. Walking slowly to the outside of the hall, looking up at the setting sun that was about to set, he sighed in a long voice: "This kid...what on earth is he thinking?"

After Li Hao got home, he asked Du Hong to bring the almanac, and found a zodiac festival, June [-]th, only five days away from today, and the crowning ceremony was scheduled to be held on that day.

The next step is to list the guests. Li Hao doesn’t know many people in Chang’an. Cheng Yaojin must be invited. Old acquaintances must also be invited. Changsun Wuji must also be invited. After all, he proposed the crown ceremony. You have to invite the crowned person too. After excluding these three people, there is still Li Jing. After all, I met Li Jing a few times when I went out with the army, and I also said a few words. Li Hao can be regarded as his soldier, well, I have to send him a post, and after thinking about it carefully, there seems to be no one to hire in Chang'an, so let's focus on Lantian County, Li Hao found out sadly He only knew Chen Anzhi, the magistrate of Lantian County in Lantian County, and he met him a few times when he went to buy land. He lived on the boundary of Lantian, and out of courtesy, he still had to send a post. As for whether Chen Anzhi would come or not , then it's none of his business.

Holding the list of guests, Li Hao found that there were only a few people on it. Li Hao shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Oh, sad, I have been in Chang'an for two years, and I only know so few people, sad, blindly sad."

Du Hong interrupted after hearing the words: "Master, it's not sad at all. Except for the magistrate of Lantian County, the others on your list are either princes or princes, but they are all pillars of the Tang Dynasty. Not everyone can do it. Please get it."

Hearing this sentence, Li Hao finally felt better, he laughed and said, "What you said is quite reasonable, but I don't know if Li Yaoshi will come, after all, I don't have much friendship with him."

Du Hong said: "Master, you just send the post, don't let people hold the conversation."

"I think so too." Li Hao smiled and handed the post to Du Hong, "Here, go send the post."

"Yes!" When Du Hong heard that he was going to visit the mansions of those dukes and princes, he was so excited that he accepted the invitation with trembling hands, turned around and ran away.

June [-] is an auspicious day for the zodiac, but Li Hao tore up the almanac, and vowed that he would never believe in the almanac again, because it was raining this day, and it hadn't rained in the whole Guanzhong for nearly two months, but in this day It's raining, why don't you go against him, it's an auspicious day, hehe, for a future person like him, any shit auspicious day is not as important as good weather, and the mood will be good when the weather is good.

Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, but it had been raining non-stop since the morning, and the wind was still blowing, which made people upset, and the lanterns hanging outside the courtyard gate were blown away.

Li Hao originally thought that it would be good to have one or two people coming in such weather, but the result was far beyond Li Hao's expectations. All the people he invited came, including Li Jing. What surprised him even more was that Someone came uninvited, and that person was Li Ji.

He and Li Ji had only met once, at the long pavilion outside Chang'an City during the expedition, and neither of them had exchanged a single word, but Li Ji still came, and he came with Cheng Yaojin.

Li Hao greeted him at the door in person, and greeted each other: "Li Hao pays respects to Uncle Cheng, Uncle Li."

"Wow Kaka..." Cheng Yaojin let out a signature devilish laugh, stretched out his hand to pat Li Hao's shoulder, and said, "Good boy, I didn't expect you to be crowned in a blink of an eye. I still remember when I first saw you that you The look of wearing crotch pants..."

Li Hao stared and exclaimed: "When did I wear crotch pants?"

Cheng Yaojin stared and said, "Didn't you wear it when you were young?"

Li Hao said anxiously: "It was natural to wear it when I was young, but when you saw me, I was already 14 years old!"

Cheng Yaojin waved his big hand and said with a grin, "Don't pay attention to these details!"

Li Hao's facial muscles twitched, when did this guy learn his lines?

At this time, Li Ji said: "Li Hao, the old man came uninvited, you will welcome him."

Li Hao hurriedly saluted and said, "How dare you, boy, when Uncle Li comes to the humble house, the boy only feels that the saplings are radiant, and he welcomes you at any time."

Li Ji smiled lightly and spread his hands: "Why don't you invite us in?"

"Please, two uncles, please come in." Li Hao hurriedly spread his hands and invited them in. At the same time, he said to Du Hong, "Du Hong, serve tea, serve good tea!"

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You bastard, you're so stingy."

Li Ji next to him suddenly heard this sentence, he was a little puzzled, and asked doubtfully, "Zhi Jie, where did you start with this?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "I still heard what my kid said. Li Hao is very stingy. It is very difficult for ordinary guests to drink a sip of tea from him. If you like a guest, you can get a cup of tea to drink." , but usually it is tea foam or old tea, if a distinguished guest comes, he will serve good tea, it is really good tea, and it is new tea."

Li Ji's expression became extremely exciting when he heard these words, and he secretly glanced at Li Hao, but Li Hao didn't hear what they were talking about, and seeing Li Ji looking at him, he returned a harmless smile.

After glancing at Li Hao, Li Ji smiled and said to Cheng Yaojin, "In this way, we are considered distinguished guests."

Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, he dares to give me old tea!"

Li Ji laughed and said, "You forced me to come here this time, telling me how good his tea is. I really want to taste it this time."

"Hey." Cheng Yaojin said with a grin, "His tea is a bit bitter, but after drinking it a few times, it becomes very fragrant. Everyone has different tastes and preferences. I think Li Hao is better than his tea. More interesting."

"Well, I think he's interesting too."

……

The two entered the living room while they were talking, Li Jing and Li Daozong's eldest grandson Wuji had already arrived, and were sitting on their seats drinking tea, there was another person Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji didn't know each other, that was Chen Anzhi, the magistrate of Lantian County.

Seeing the arrival of these two people, Chen Anzhi hurriedly put down his teacup, stood up and bowed, and introduced himself. This was a good opportunity to gain a sense of presence. How could he miss it? He felt that this time was the right time. The people who invited were all big bosses, whether they were the princes or the princes, and they were all BOSS-level. This made him very happy. He has secretly decided that in the future, he will serve Li Hao like his ancestors. After serving him well, do you still worry about your official career?

After Chen Anzhi finished praying, Li Jing and the others got up to greet each other, and then they all sat down and tasted tea together, having a great time and harmonious painting style.
