Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1779
After retiring from the court, Prince Li Chengqian did not return to the East Palace in a hurry, but ordered someone to drive a carriage to Qin Tian's residence.

At this time, the plaque in front of the gate of Qin Tianfu has been replaced with the four characters of Qin Guogong's mansion.

These four big characters looked very imposing. After Li Chengqian saw it, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he went straight in.

After Qin Tian learned that the prince was here, he was not surprised and ordered someone to invite him to the living room.

After the two sat down in the living room, Qin Tian asked, "Will the prince drink tea or drink?"

Whether it's good tea or good wine, Qin Tian has them all here. Li Chengqian looked excited and said, "I'm here to thank you sir, and I haven't seen you for a long time, so it's better to drink."

Li Chengqian still has some pride.

Qin Tian nodded, and ordered someone to warm up a pot of wine.

The wine is good wine, and before the lid of the jug is opened, one can smell the aroma of the wine.

As the crown prince, Li Chengqian had never seen anything good, but after smelling this pot of wine, he was a little intoxicated.

"Sir, this wine smells so good."

"This is almost ten years old wine. There is not much in the whole house. Only when distinguished guests come, I will order someone to make a small pot. Your Royal Highness... Cough cough, don't make autumn wind."

Qin Tian ordered people to hide some liquor in the old cellar when he first brewed Zuimeiren. The longer the age, the more mellow the taste of this kind of liquor, and the longer the time, the higher the price. Money can't necessarily buy it.

In that case, Qin Tian naturally wanted to enjoy these things to himself, and didn't want to be looted by outsiders.

In case Li Chengqian opened his mouth, he couldn't wipe it away, so he had to give some away, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say what he didn't want to say first.

After Li Chengqian listened, he curled his lips. If other people encountered this kind of thing, they might be sent to the East Palace immediately without him asking. Qin Tian was lucky and refused directly.

However, Li Chengqian would not care about Qin Tian, ​​for one thing, he is not an alcoholic, although the quality of alcohol also affects how much he drinks, but he doesn't feel anything if he doesn't drink.

What's more, he likes to hear Qin Tian's words.

"Don't worry, sir. If you like to drink old wine, after I go back, I will order someone to bring you 20-year-old wine. I promise it will be no worse than you, a drunken beauty who has been on the shelf for ten years."

Qin Tian was a little proud of his old wine, but after hearing Li Chengqian's 20-year-old wine, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

I've never seen such an attack.

But soon, Qin Tian laughed: "In this case, I really thank His Royal Highness for your kindness."

The two joked a bit, and the wine had already begun to drink.

After Li Chengqian took a sip, he said: "Sir, this time I have suffered such an indiscriminate disaster, obviously someone is plotting against me behind my back, what should I do now, please give me your advice."

When Qin Tian heard this, he didn't hesitate at all, and said: "The prince wants to know what to do next, so he has to answer a few questions for me first."

"Excuse me, sir."

"His Royal Highness thinks who is going to frame you this time?"

"This..." Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, then cried and laughed: "It's nothing more than my younger brothers. They covet me as the crown prince. It's not a day or two. Some people, seven or eight years old I was already thinking about this when I was thinking about it, and thinking about it now, it’s really frightening to think about.”

The corner of Qin Tian's mouth twitched slightly. It was completely normal for the emperor's heirs to have such a thing. When other children were still playing in the mud, these emperor's heirs might have already started to intrigue.

"Then what does His Highness the Crown Prince think about his younger brother wanting to be the Crown Prince?"

"As long as the father doesn't have the heart to waste the reserve, they naturally have no chance."

Qin Tian smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "But if you have been grounded this time, they will have a chance. Sometimes there are many things that should be contested. Now, Your Highness the Crown Prince, apart from having the title of Prince Chu Besides, is there any advantage that other people can't compare to?"

"This……"

Qin Tiandao: "There are still some. His Royal Highness is benevolent, and he still has prestige among the common people, but to compete for the throne, only the prestige is not enough. On the contrary, the power in the court is particularly important. Compared with these two, the Crown Prince Does Your Highness have the confidence to compare with King Wei, King Shu, and even King Jin?"

"Jin King?" Li Chengqian was taken aback. His little brother was only in his teens this year, and he was just a child. Is there any comparison with him? He has always regarded Wei Wang Li Tai and Shu Wang Li Ke as opponents.

Qin Tian did not answer Li Chengqian's question directly, but after drinking a glass of wine, he continued: "Shu King Li Ke is most like the current emperor, he is a man who is very good at fighting, and he is a leader in the army. His prestige is absolutely incomparable to you, His Royal Highness. Many military generals in the court have placed high hopes on him. His Royal Highness King Wei has a brilliant literary talent and has accumulated very good contacts among civil servants. Even the descendants of the Kong family today They are all his people, how can His Royal Highness compare with this?"

Li Chengqian's expression moved slightly, and at this time, Qin Tian continued: "As for Jin Wang Li Zhi, even though he is very young, the people who support him in the court are not weak. This Crown Prince should be clear about it. Changsun Wuji supports Jin Wang Li Zhi, which means that Jin Wang Li Zhi has the support of a group of top dignitaries in our Tang Dynasty, with the support of these dignitaries, is there anything difficult to do, His Royal Highness is comparable to it?"

Qin Tian talked about the advantages of Li Ke, Li Tai and others, as if to make people feel ashamed. After Li Chengqian heard it, his face changed slightly, but he couldn't help but say something in his heart. Now, if there is Qin Tian's full support for him, then what is Li Ke's military prestige, Li Tai's literati support, and Li Zhi's elite camp?
In Li Chengqian's mind, Qin Tian alone can compare with all of them.

Unfortunately, even if Qin Tian is Li Chengqian's husband, his support is only enough.

Of course he knew that the reason why Qin Tian did this was to protect himself and Li Chengqian.

Qin Tiangong is a master, and there is no seal. If he supports him as the heir of the Tang Dynasty with all his strength, then his father will probably have trouble sleeping and eating, right?

His father sat on the throne through the Xuanwumen Incident, and then turned his father Li Yuan into the Supreme Emperor. He couldn't guarantee that he would not worry that his prince would do the same.

Therefore, he, Li Chengqian, can have some power, but it must not be too much, otherwise his father would have to do something for the sake of stability.

For example, killing Qin Tian, ​​for example, increasing the power of Li Ke and Li Tai, and these two situations are not what Li Chengqian wants to see.
