Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 128 No one will buy it
The sun was setting, the evening wind was blowing on the face, and the slightest coolness was blowing on the face, so that the people in Guanzhong who had been ravaged by the sun for a day could finally breathe a sigh of relief.The misty cooking smoke rose slowly and disappeared into the air in a short while.

Thirty miles east of Tongguan, the emperor came to the place where Cen Wenwen and others came in the name of inspecting the defense of Tongguan.

"Your Majesty, will the generals take the road?" Cen Wenwen, who was standing behind the emperor, asked quietly.

Li Shimin waved his hands disapprovingly: "You don't know Changsun Wuji's short temper. This path is nearly [-] miles away from the main road to Tongguan. In order to return to Beijing as soon as possible, I predict that he will take this path."

"Your Majesty, you see that this place is [-] miles away from Tongguan. It will be dark soon and the wilderness is very unsafe. If so, why don't I send someone to Tongguan to send some troops?"

Cen Wenwen couldn't figure it out, even if he wanted to appease Li Jing, he didn't have to be convinced by Bai Longyu.You must know that there is more than one person in Chang'an who has ideas. What is the point of bringing so few guards?

Of course he didn't understand that as long as people like Li Jing don't rebel, they are the pillars of the Tang army, and they can suppress those who have evil intentions.Besides, now that the worries of the future are gone, what is there to be afraid of?

"Why did you transfer the soldiers and horses? Those who know are here to greet the general in triumph, but those who don't know think that I am here to take him.".
An hour later, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and others finally arrived under the guard of the guards.

"Your Majesty, Li Jing, why did you come here?" Li Jing never thought that he had made such a big mistake, and the emperor would come here to greet him regardless of his safety. How could this not move Li Jing Woolen cloth.

"Brother Yao, you came back from the front line all the way. Doesn't this ignorant person need a headlight to light his way?" Li Shimin said with a smile after helping Li Jing up.

"Your Majesty, I made such a big mistake this time. I'm so confused. I need someone to show me the way." The emperor put his posture so low, so why not hurry up and climb up the pole.

"I can light this lamp for you, but you have to walk the road yourself. Come on, it's cold, put this on, put on.

Listen to me, you should be more careful at your age.After driving for so many days, you are also tired, so get into my car, which was specially ordered by the prince to be built for me. "

That's right, the emperor only eats two bowls of noodles in his life, one is for affection, and the other is for appearance.As long as you, Li Jing, continue to follow me, everything will be fine.

"Your Majesty, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, which cannot be allowed."

"General Li, hurry up and get in the car with His Majesty, and sit in His Majesty's new car to ensure that you will never go the same way again." Changsun Wuji smoothed things over on the side. .
It was already noon of the second day when the people who waited for a night's rest in Tongguan returned to Chang'an.In front of the Taiji Palace, Xiao Yu and more than 30 censors knelt like that under the scorching sun. No matter how Fang Du and two persuaded them, these people would not leave.

Li Chengqian, who entertained all the officials in Qingshan Palace, had to let go of his work after being notified by Fang Du.

When he arrived at Tai Chi Hall, Xiao Yu pointed at Fang Xuanling and cursed at each other.

"Cough cough", after Li Chengqian made two fake coughs, he said to the front: "Today is a day of great joy, Qing and others are all going to Qingshan Palace to drink, and they are causing trouble to His Majesty."

"His Royal Highness, I think there is nothing to congratulate. I want to identify traitors here today, and I ask Your Majesty to bring Li Jing to justice." Xiao Yu stroked his beard and said contemptuously, although the censor who came with him did not speak. , but none of them took orders to go.

Seeing the officials kneeling on the ground so disrespectful to the prince, Fang Xuanling was so angry that he pointed at them and was speechless.

"Yizhi, Luo Tong, you invited the two prime ministers to Qingshan Palace to host the banquet. It would be shameful that the two prime ministers are not here on such a day."

After sending the two away, Li Chengqian sat on the steps and looked down at the kneeling censors below, and said leisurely: "Do you think this palace is the least dignified prince in history?"

"Is the prince trying to overwhelm others with power? The old minister dares to kneel today, that is to say, those who are ready to die are not afraid of the axe." Xiao Yu poked his neck.

Not to mention that he never looked down on Li Chengqian, even if he was the emperor, he often used his status to contradict him regardless of the occasion.

"Old Xiao, I think you are the elder of the two dynasties, and the founding heroes have always respected you. But are you Xiao Yu really going to waste the country's affairs for your own self-interest today?"

What's the matter, now even the little guy Li Chengqian doesn't take the old man seriously. If he doesn't clean up Li Jing today, will he still have a foothold in the court in the future?
But before he could refute Li Chengqian's words, the emperor's words interrupted him.

"Xiao Yu, hurry up and take your men to the banquet before I get angry." Li Shimin dragged Li Jing to the front of the crowd.

"Please your Majesty's associate ministers and others to play, punish Li Jing for his crime of taking credit." When Xiao Yu was afraid that the emperor would get angry.

"Xiao Yu, what are you trying to do? All civil and military officials are in Qingshan Palace to welcome the general's triumphant return, but you are kneeling here to demonstrate and want to punish the general. Isn't that too disrespectful?"

Li Shimin is the most nostalgic, although he deeply hates Xiao Yu's deeds, but he has received a lot of favors from him before, and he doesn't want to do anything to him.

"The merits and demerits cannot be offset. The old minister is the censor, and it is the duty of the minister to rectify the gains and losses of the emperor. Li Jing colluded with others, pretended to be rewarded, lied about military affairs, wasted state funds, and plotted wrongdoing. This is all verified by the minister. Your Majesty How could you not hear about it?"

Seeing Xiao Yu being so ungrateful, Li Shimin was furious. He wanted to do this quietly, but the bad thing was the bad old man who contradicted him.

No one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Xiao Yu was recruited by Fang Xuanling and Li Jing back then. This old guy had to put his personal grievances on state affairs, how could he do that.

"Xiao Yu, the duty of the censor is to rectify the faults of the emperor, but everything should be considered from the big picture. When the provincial officials were combined, two or three thousand people colluded in private. Why didn't you join them when they tried to obstruct the court.

During the locust plague in Guanzhong, when those officials hoarded and made a fortune for the country, you went there again.And when digging wells to fight drought, those dignitaries who resisted the imperial government's decree, why didn't you say a word. "

"Such a small incident as small as a sesame and mung bean happened at the border thousands of miles away. You are holding on to it, making a big fuss, entangled with the censor to threaten the emperor, and say what is your intention?"

The more Li Shimin talked, the more angry he became. When the court encounters difficulties, you all want to stuff your heads in your crotch.After others have finished their work, you will come out to find fault, such people are really abominable.
