Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 452 The Chess Game Outside Chengqing Hall
Chengqing Hall, there are more government affairs today, and there are more courtiers coming and going as usual. Li Chengqian sat outside and waited for a long time, but the emperor didn't have time. He picked up a set of Go and played against himself.

The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty that didn’t have much entertainment, at least for Li Chengqian, there was very little that interested him. When he read novels before, he saw that Zhou Botong had the skill of fighting left and right, so he followed suit and played with himself. played.

"Your Highness, I'm so excited. I wonder if I can sit down and have a chat with His Highness!" Cen Wenwen asked with a smile while holding a stack of chapters.

The sun really came out from the west, and Cen Wenwen took the initiative to ask him to play chess. What kind of clever trick does this old fox want to play? Is it to show himself how he betrayed his teacher?With doubts, Li Chengqian made a gesture of invitation to him, and then quickly dropped a sunspot.

"His Royal Highness, the East Palace is really full of talents. After so many years of investigation, the veterans have not found their faults. I didn't expect Chang Sun Chong and Xu Jingzong to find them so easily. It is a blessing for the world to have such talented people around His Highness! "

Seeing Cen Wenwen's calm fall, Li Chengqian replied indifferently: "Zhongshuling is overrated. Compared with Zhongshuling, a brave warrior who advances for the people like Zhongshuling, Changsun Chong and others are far behind. By the way , are you satisfied with the pieces of jade sent to you a few days ago?"

Cen Wenwen took a big advantage this time, without much effort, he directly handed over the list he had managed in the past few years to the emperor, and he got the Zhongshu Ling that he had been thinking about for many years. One of the most powerful people, this deal is worth it!

"Your Highness, the old minister knows that you look down on the old minister for acting like this, and think that the old minister has sold the glory of his fellow disciples, don't you?"

Without waiting for Li Chengqian's explanation, Cen Wenwen continued to talk about what happened after he took over Feng Deyi's power. It was because of Cen Wenwen's words that Li Chengqian had a new understanding of Feng Deyi, a person who was almost forgotten.

In Li Chengqian's impression, Feng Deyi is a person who has a lot of speculation and a coincidence. When he was young, he followed Yang Su and began to emerge.During the reign of Daye, he colluded with Yu Shiji, the minister of internal history, and advised him to flatter the emperor, seize memorials that violated the holy will, and restrain the virtuous.Since then, Yu Shiji's favor has been deepened day by day, while the Sui Dynasty's state affairs have become increasingly corrupt.

Later, during the Jiangdu Rebellion, he counted all the sins and ungratefulness of Emperor Sui Yang during his reign. Seeing that Yu Wenhua and his soldiers were weak, he cleverly joined the Yuwen scholars and defected to Datang on the grounds of transporting grain.Emperor Taiwu believed that Feng Deyi was an old minister of the Sui Dynasty, flattering and unfaithful, so he severely reprimanded him and dismissed him from office and repatriated him.

And Feng Deyi also offered secret strategies, which made Li Yuan very happy, worshiped him as a servant of the internal history, and was promoted to the servant of the internal history.Afterwards, this guy used the prime minister's respect to make peace everywhere, helping the emperor today, helping build it tomorrow, and giving Li Yuan bad ideas later. Isn't it a joke?

From Li Chengqian's point of view, the death of this old man would have given him an advantage. If it was a few years later, I would have to kill this treacherous official.

But Cen Wenwen believes that Feng Deyi is a person with real talent and learning, and he is also a great talent in governing the country, otherwise he would not be able to help Yang Su, Yu Shiji, Yang Guang, Yu Wenhuaji, and Li Yuan who thinks he is more holy than anyone else , So many people are juggling between applause, flattering left and right, and no one can offend.

His ideal is to be a powerful minister, but because of the influence of the current situation, he has become a jester that even he looks down on. After he became prime minister, Yang Zan's envoys found him everywhere.

He took out the letters he had communicated with various anti-kings in the early days of Wude, and used them as a threat to make officials of his line follow the corresponding instructions, otherwise he, a guest of the Li family, would be made a Prisoner of the ranks. .
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat. Fortunately, there were provincial officials back then, and most of the officials who followed Feng Deyi to surrender were cleared out. It is not certain whether the surname can be Li Ke.

"Mr. Jingren, I just want to know why you are sitting here and talking about this?" After taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said.

Hehe, "His Royal Highness, the old minister wants to tell you that in Wenwen's heart, His Majesty is the real emperor. The old minister is not young. I don't want to be dragged to the inner guard mansion by the eldest grandson because of a misunderstanding that day. The old minister is afraid of pain!"

This Cen Wenwen can really tell jokes, even if he is the crown prince, he can't just arrest the current Zhongshu Ling, although he once had such an idea.

But just two days ago, the emperor beat him when he was reviewing the closed case book. The emperor believed that Cen Wenwen was absolutely loyal to him, and that he had endured humiliation and dealt with the traitors for so many years. He has been in contact with the rebels for a long time and wronged them.

Of course, there is another reason, the emperor didn't say it, but Li Chengqian also knows that even if people don't support you, they can't find an excuse to rule out dissidents. Now the world is still the emperor, and he can't decide everything. There is still a scale.

"Sir, you are joking. You are the confidant of the father and the teacher of my third brother. Since the Zhenguan Dynasty, you have contributed to the country and made outstanding achievements. Otherwise, how could the father have promoted you to Zhongshu Ling? To be honest Gu always thought that the royal father would give this position to Zhao Guogong, after all, he used to be a servant, didn't he?"

That's right, for this candidate, the emperor was interested in Changsun Wuji, but it was no surprise that Empress Changsun stopped him again. Li Chengqian had long been familiar with his mother's problem, and he also believed in Cen Wenwen. I also understand that he is not the only choice for the emperor, and some things must be done according to our ability.

"Brother Auxiliary Machine is humble and doesn't care about fame and fortune. Wenwen is very grateful in his heart. However, he is loyal to His Majesty, and this official position is not important." Of course, Cen Wenwen knew what Li Chengqian meant, yes, even if No matter how hard I try, no matter how hard the emperor thinks, he will never be able to compare with the eldest grandson line who share weal and woe.

He didn't want to compare either, because it was completely unnecessary. According to the fate of his relatives in the past dynasties, Changsun Wuji's ending might not be better than Dou Ying's.Don't think he wants to get so close to the prince in front of him. The prince, like his father, is a person who likes to keep his word and doesn't like to share power, so their intimacy period is limited.

But Li Ke, who he assisted, was different. He didn't have such close people around him, and he had no one to rely on except himself.

"Yes, what Zhong Shuling said is absolutely right. Gu came to His Majesty today for no other reason. You should have heard of the rise of a "Nestorianism" recently. This is the information obtained by the Imperial Palace. Zaifu, sir, shouldn’t you think about the court and the people?” After speaking, Li Chengqian handed the chapter on the table to Cen Wenwen, didn’t you sound nice, come on, let’s see how it goes?
