Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 461 True and False Li Chengqian

Neither Wei Zheng nor Ma Zhou lied. They had indeed received news that the "Prince" was doing evil near Chang'an City in the past few days. play and so on.

For the behavior of such a dude, Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou didn't believe it at first. The prince has always been strict with himself, and even the palace servants who made mistakes are not easily punished, so how could they do such a thing?

But the people below have their noses and eyes. The most important thing is that they said that the "Prince" had six soldiers accompanying him when he committed the crime, which made Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou a little uncertain.The other military guards are easy to talk about, but the sixth rate is a unit directly under the East Palace, and no one can send a single soldier from it except the prince.

So after some discussion, in order to find out the truth, the two decided to send the supervisory official Wei Shuyu to investigate on the spot to see if anyone was swindling and cheating in the name of the prince, and who were the soldiers who followed him? David's.

It has to be said that Wei Shuyu has completely inherited the character of his father. He is a master who does not shed tears when he sees the coffin. After visiting the persecuted people and obtaining some confessions, Wei Shuyu is determined to arrest the "prince" to see what else he has. easy to say.

Jingzhao Mansion and officials at all levels are afraid of the power of the prince, but he is not afraid. Since he put on this censor's robe, he has no intention of living in the world forever, so what if he criticizes dragon scales? Will leave a strong stroke for myself.

The ideal is full. When Wei Shuyu finally caught the prince and brought someone to buy jade by force, Wei Shuyu rushed to the scene and loudly reprimanded the prince for his injustice. Wei Shuyu planned to ask Li Chengqian to go to the palace to talk to the emperor. .

At this moment, the guard who received the order broke Wei Shuyu's legs violently in front of the people all over the street on the grounds of colliding with the prince. In addition to Wei Shuyu who is in charge of personnel, the prince has long since disappeared.

After being diagnosed and treated by the doctor, Wei Shuyu woke up and stated the whole story to the two of them.

However, what Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou didn't expect was that Prince Li Chengqian hadn't been out of the palace for more than ten days, and he was discussing water control with his courtiers in Mingde Hall every day. Is the prince who is doing evil in the city a fake?
With a thud, Wei Zheng, whose legs softened, knelt down, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I am wrong, I am confused, I have wronged you, I have no place to be ashamed!"

The voice fell behind, and he had to kowtow if he wanted to. Li Chengqian quickly stepped forward to help him up, helped him sit down, and said softly: "Wei Xiang, this is all a misunderstanding. If you want to blame it, blame the thief for being too cunning." Well, where can I blame you? That’s enough, I’m going to have dinner in the East Palace today, this matter has always been related to Gu, Gu must investigate and find out, we must not let Brother Shuyu suffer this beating in vain, right!”

After speaking, Li Chengqian called Heng Lian from outside the palace to send two imperial doctors to Zheng Guogong's mansion, and at the same time ordered him to summon Sun Chong, the commander of the inner guard mansion, and Jing Zhaoyin Shangguanyi.

Later, after Chang Sun Chong and Shangguan Yi entered the palace, Li Chengqian asked Ma Zhou to tell them about the "true and false Monkey King" story, which made the two of them a little clouded. Wei Shuyu and the crown prince had known each other for many years, and this face He was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar, even he didn't see any flaws, either this person was almost exactly the same as the prince, or it was a human skin mask commonly used by rangers.

However, the two Changsun Chong, who have been in contact with prisoners all the year round, are more inclined to the second point. Pretending to be an official of the court is already a capital offense, let alone pretending to be a prince. Therefore, the purpose of this "prince" is obvious, that is, In order to tarnish the prince's reputation.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, the minister will go down and cooperate with the Inner Guard Mansion, catch this beast, and restore His Highness's innocence!" Shangguanyi felt that he had failed as Jing Zhaoyin, and the people below didn't even know they were beaten. .

However, it is also understandable that after all, it was the "Prince" of the current dynasty who beat them, and the future emperor, who would have to swallow his anger after being beaten, would they all come to the East Palace to file a lawsuit like Wei Zheng?Isn't this looking for death?

"I said, prince, you are a big tree attracting the wind. If you don't do it well, your reputation will be bad in the future. Hey, this thief is also out of his mind. Since they are all pretending to be the prince, why don't they make a lot of money?" A handful, isn't that a joke with his own head!" After speaking, Chang Sun Chong took a bite of the leg of lamb and looked at Li Chengqian playfully.

That's right, that's what he thought, anyway, he was willing to cut himself to pieces, why not do something big, no matter how hard it is to get some real money, if this falls into the hands of the old men, it will be impossible to survive , Begging to die, it's useless to ruin the crown prince's reputation!

Just when Chang Sun Chong was making fun of his unlucky cousin, Chang Sun Wuji directly picked up a mutton leg and threw it at Chang Sun Chong, pointing at Chang Sun Chong and shouting loudly: "Nizi, how dare you be so rude to His Highness the Crown Prince?" , What kind of way of being a minister is this? Where did your father's usual upbringing go?
If outsiders know about it, it will not only be unlucky for you, but also the eldest grandson's family. "

After scolding happily, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and pulled his son, kicked his calf violently, and then he also knelt down, leaning over to plead guilty: "His Royal Highness, I impeached Changsun Chong for being rude, Your Highness please be serious. Punish!"

Seeing what Changsun Wuji did, Wei Zheng's old face couldn't help turning red. He understood that Changsun Wuji was just trying to avenge his rudeness just now. No matter what Li Chengqian said, he was the prince of the country, and the future emperor, even if he was the prime minister, would not You shouldn't slander the emperor face to face like this, it really violates the way of being a minister.

But the crown prince said just now that he would not pursue it. If he came out to plead guilty, it would be a bit hypocritical. Changsun Wuji is a ruthless old fox. Not only did he achieve the purpose of humiliating him, but he even had no chance to speak back.

Li Chengqian saw the embarrassing expression on Wei Zheng's face, and at the same time, he also understood that what Changsun Wuji said was for his own good. The prestige is still necessary.

After figuring this out, Li Chengqian said lightly: "Zhongliang, three days, I only give you three days, if you can't catch someone within three days, you will be punished for both crimes, fifty army sticks, one stick is a must, You can decide for yourself!"

During the conversation, he also took out a token from his sleeve and threw it in front of Chang Sun Chong. This made Chang Sun Chong, who had a bitter face, couldn't help being happy, and secretly gave the cousin who was pretending to be angry: "Excuse me!" Brother, it's interesting!
It turned out that the token Li Chengqian threw to him was to mobilize the beast battalion. With their help and his inner guards, even if he was hiding in the rat hole, I could find him out. .
