The rise of the prince

Chapter 44 He Qian's Shock

Yu Chengan clasped his hands respectfully and said: "Prince, please forgive me, the old minister was so rude before, it's not because he was arrogant, it's just"

"Your Excellency Yu, you don't need to say too much, it's human nature." Prince Li Chengping said: "This time I'm just asking about Wei Chaoren's affairs, not talking about anything else."

Yu Chengan nodded in relief: "That's right, the old man just said it bluntly.

Does Your Highness know why the old man insisted on killing Wei Chaoren? "

The prince shook his head to express his ignorance.

Yu Chengan waved his sleeves, cupped his hands and said, "The old minister has no quarrel with that Wei Chaoren, nor does he have any friendship with him. The reason why he appointed the master to kill him is to secure Chang'an forever for our Dajingjiangshan community!"

"Why did you say that, sir?" The prince asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Since the founding of our country, our dynasty has respected celebrities and valued talents. Therefore, famous people all over the world yearn for the court and serve the country. It is precisely because of this that the dynasty is prosperous and the country in the field is invincible. But these trends have become more and more serious in recent years. , it is good for the imperial court to pay attention to talents, but too much protection will sooner or later be a national disaster!" Yu Chengan said.

"Prince, please think about it. Let's not talk about the merits. Wei Chaoren killed tens of thousands of soldiers and the people of the twelve cities, and there are still people pleading for him. His Majesty is still hesitant. Could it be that Wei Chaoren's life is fate? Tens of thousands of soldiers in the north, the lives of the people in the twelve cities are not their lives!" He was so indignant that he slapped the case with heartache.

"The ancestors taught, 'Your salary is rich, the people are fat and the people are anointed; the people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully!' Consuming the people's fat, the people's anointing and wealth, but they don't know how to do their best for the people.

With such a monstrous cauldron, the common people suffer, there are still people to protect them, and there is still room for detours. This trend will definitely not last long! "

The crown prince solemnly picked up the wine glass and drank it down, nodded and said: "Lord Yu, Gao Yi, I have been taught today."

Yu Chengan returned a toast, and then continued: "In all dynasties and dynasties, there must be a big pot when all the officials forget that the food they eat is the fat of the people!
Wei Chaoren's corpse was a vegetarian meal, and he ate the blood and sweat of the people in Guanbei, but he couldn't keep the people in Guanbei safe. No matter what the reason was, it was a big mistake!If you don't kill him, how will you explain to the people in Guanbei.

In the future, if this trend grows, the officials will not serve the people, and the people will not trust the officials. Tens of thousands of people will lose their lives, and it will be a disaster for the family and the country."

After the prince listened quietly, he bowed his head and said: "These words made me suddenly enlightened. My lord is really a scholar of the country. He has worked hard and worried about my great success. In the future, I will do my best to support my lord's affairs."

Yu Chengan happily returned the gift: "Where, the old minister is only dedicated to serving the country. Your Highness is benevolent, open-minded and eager to learn, and the old minister really admires it."

Afterwards, the two talked very happily, and they talked for a long time. It was almost noon when Yu Chengan left. When he left the palace, his expression was calm and he did not hide anything.

After sending Yu Chengan away, Sun Huancai, Zhan Shi of the Prince's Mansion, came out of the inner hall.

As soon as the prince changed his serious expression, he laughed triumphantly: "Hahahaha, Mr. Fang is indeed brilliant, I will do exactly what he said, and Yu Chengan will be just as Mr. expected!"

"Congratulations to the crown prince! If Yu Chengan doesn't tell the truth, his heart will already be inclined towards the East Palace." Sun Huan also interjected with a smile.

"I do feel this way, but Mr. Fang said that it is still a little worse. At this moment, I must not show my favor. What should I do next? I don't know.

Come with me to meet Mr. Fang, and then ask him for advice. "The prince said and hurried out.

He Qian ran out secretly. Her father is not at home today. He's mansion is spacious and there are many servants, but there is a low wall in the backyard, which can just be turned over. No one else knows it. She also found it when she was a child running around in the mansion. .

She was so obsessed with the bet with that bastard Li Xingzhou, she went out of the backyard and went straight to Tingyu Tower without caring about anything else.

That bastard was so out of his mind that he bet her that there would be more people in Tingyulou than in Wangjianglou within seven days.

There are forty or fifty restaurants in Jingdu, and Wangjianglou is the most prosperous one. With his dilapidated building, not to mention seven days, even seven years is impossible.

If that bastard loses by then, Tingyulou will be hers. She can almost imagine the scene of Li Xingzhou kneeling at her feet begging her to take the restaurant back. Can't help laughing out.

Along the way, he carefully bypassed the officials of Kaiyuan Mansion who were patrolling the streets, otherwise, if they were recognized, these officials would definitely file a complaint with her father, and they would suffer disaster.

After crossing a few streets, she was a little tired without a carriage, but she was very close to Tingyu Tower.

At this time, the snow on the ground has not yet dispersed. She found it strange that the snow on the streets was not taken care of before, so why was the snow on the surrounding streets cleaned and piled up in one place?
It is even more surprising that the closer you get to Tingyu Tower, the surrounding streets are like a busy city in the city. Many merchants and hawkers set up stalls here, some selling food, and some selling handicrafts.

Could it be that she just didn't go out for a few days, and everything in Beijing has changed? This should only be a situation in Beishi. Did she go wrong?
But looking up from afar, she could already see Tingyu Tower in the distance
The closer she got to her, the more she felt that something was wrong. People around Yulou were coming and going, bustling, and most of them were dressed as scribes. At this time, two or three groups were talking and laughing, and they all went to the direction of Yulou!
There was a vague feeling in her heart, she quickened her pace, pushed away a few literati who were blocking the way, and there was a lot of dissatisfaction behind her, she had no time to take care of it, took three steps at a time, and soon rushed to the Tingyu Tower forward!
Taking a closer look, she felt as if she had been in another world. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Is this the Tingyu Tower a few days ago!

Luxuriously decorated cars and sedan chairs are parked under the willows in front of the gate, there is a continuous stream of people coming in and out, and there are occasional noises from upstairs.
A few days ago, this place was obviously a deserted and barren land, deserted and deserted, with no one in sight, how could it be!
She couldn't help but think of that hateful face again, and the bet he made with him so confidently, could it be that the bastard really knew some magical tricks to make this dilapidated place what it is today, or are these people all He invited to deceive himself.

He Qian didn't want to believe it, and rushed into the restaurant with a sword, pushed away the smiling waiter, inspected the lobby on the first floor full of guests, and then went up to the second floor, which was still full of guests. Among them, I saw unexpected people, Xie Linjiang and Cao Yu, who have talents in Kyoto!

Her whole body collapsed for a while, and she couldn't help taking a half step back, and now she gave up.

It's true, these people were definitely not invited by Li Xingzhou to act. If nothing else, he wouldn't be able to invite those Linjiang and Cao Yu.

That bastard won! She felt very uncomfortable, holding her breath but couldn't let it out, how did he do it?This question filled my heart, and it could not go away for a long time. At this moment, the shopkeeper came up in person, and greeted me with a smile: "Why is this girl in such a hurry, maybe there is something wrong, if there is anything that can help, please just let me know. "

He Qian glanced at him, and said directly, "What about Li Xingzhou, tell him to come see me."

"Ah?" The shopkeeper was stunned: "Girl, my son has a lot of things to do every day, and it's not something that anyone can see whenever they want. Why are you?"

Snapped!He Qian directly interrupted with the sword across his chest: "Hmph, I want him to explain to this girl, if I can't see him, tomorrow I will bring people from Kaiyuan Mansion to seal up your dilapidated building, and then razed it to nothing." flat land!"
