Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 50 Li Chengqian rebelled? (2)

Luoyang Palace
After Li Chengqian and Li Tai arrived in Miyagi, Gan Yun led them to an audience.Li Chengqian looked at the palace in Luoyang, and asked Gan Yun beside him: "How is the father's health?"

Gan Yun looked around, pulled Li Chengqian aside and said, "Prince, some people want to harm you."

If Gan Yun is Li Shimin's chief servant, he shouldn't have said such a thing.But I have been in this palace for decades, and I still have a good eye for seeing people. On weekdays, the prince has never said anything serious to us slaves. How could such a good person rebel? It is said that the old eunuch moved his heart Just issued a warning.

"I have seen my father", Li Shimin sat on the couch while his grandson Wuji and Li Ke stood on both sides, and saw the two brothers wave their hands along the journey: "Get up, everyone, let's take a look at these memorials."

"Father, do you believe it?" Li Chengqian put down the memorial in his hand and raised his head to ask Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian's words surprised several people in the hall. They all thought that Li Chengqian would try all kinds of excuses to evade these charges, but Li Chengqian only asked this question.

Li Shimin said lightly: "Of course I believe in you, but I have to give an explanation to the officials."

Li Shimin's indifference made Li Chengqian sad, and after a bleak smile: "Is the way father expresses trust is to let Li Ji and Zhang Liang take over Chang'an's defense?"

Seeing this situation, Changsun Wuji couldn't stand it any longer, and hurriedly said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, how can you talk to Your Majesty like this, and still not apologize to His Majesty."

Changsun Wuji said while giving Li Chengqian his eyes, but his usually alert nephew didn't know what happened today, he just didn't bow his head, which made Changsun Wuji very anxious.

Li Chengqian's words humiliated Li Shimin as the emperor, and at the same time, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart: "Why, do I need your consent to mobilize the army?"

After Li Chengqian sorted out those memorials, he said to Li Shimin: "Since the father thinks that his sons buy people's hearts, kill dissidents, and try to usurp the throne, what else can we say? Liu Ju of the Han Dynasty was not afraid of stigma. Li Chengqian is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

After speaking, he took out his seal ribbon from his bosom, placed him on Li Shimin's desk, gave him a salute, turned around and was about to leave.Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to leave, Li Tai stepped forward and grabbed his elder brother. He wanted to be the prince and wanted Li Chengqian to die, but Li Tai wanted to defeat him head-on, instead of letting Li Chengqian die at the hands of swordsmen.

In Li Tai's view, this is not only respecting his opponent, but also respecting himself. Of course, some people have said that Li Tai is a scholarly loyalty.

"Father, I said that my elder brother rebelled, but I don't believe it. If he wanted to rebel, why would he dare to come to Luoyang with only a hundred guards? Besides, the locust plague in Guanzhong is rare in a hundred years, and my elder brother has done a good job in helping the disaster. How could he just sit down because of some gossip? Is it the crime of the crown prince of a country?"

Although Li Ke didn't want to speak for Li Chengqian, but when he saw Li Tai coming forward, he played a trick of face: "Father, there must be something hidden in this matter, please think twice."

Li Shimin was so angry that he didn't care what Li Tai said, smashed the teacup and shouted: "You are stupid in reading, and he didn't even refute it. Didn't you see it?"

Li Chengqian didn't expect Li Tai to speak for him, so he patted Li Tai's hand and said, "Qing Que, forget it, haven't you heard that Wuqing is the emperor's family, right, father."

"You, you rebellious son, come and take the prince down for me.".

When Changsun Wuji heard that Li Chengqian was about to be taken down, he fell to his knees with a plop: "Your Majesty, the crown prince must have been under heavy state affairs recently, and the pressure is too great. What can't be discussed between father and son?"

"Stop talking, who is pleading to be guilty of the same crime as him." After finishing speaking, two golden armored warriors stepped forward and invited Li Chengqian to spread the word.

Li Chengqian's capture also made Li Ke secretly happy. He didn't expect Li Chengqian to be so stubborn. This time, it seemed that Li Chengqian was finished. He made great contributions in the northern border this time.If Li Chengqian was abolished, wouldn't he have a chance.

"Father, do you want to set a date for returning to Beijing?",
"Tomorrow, you all retreat." Li Shimin flicked his sleeves angrily and walked towards the inner room.

While Fang Xuanling and Qin Huaiyu were talking in the corridor, Li Chengqian and two golden armored warriors walked over, and the two hurriedly saluted Li Chengqian,
Seeing Li Chengqian's livid complexion, the two felt a little bit in their hearts, could it be that His Majesty him.Li Chengqian winked at Qin Huaiyu, and walked towards the palace gate without looking back.

Qin Huaiyu, who understood what Li Chengqian meant, immediately called his subordinates. After whispering for a while, Qin Huaiyu also followed the direction where Li Chengqian was being imprisoned.

In the side hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Li Chengqian was sipping tea lazily, watching Changsun Wuji circling around in the hall.

"Uncle, my father won't do anything to me." Changsun Wuji was furious when he saw Li Chengqian's carelessness.

"Based on your attitude today, even if His Majesty doesn't believe that you will rebel, you have to believe it. Explain to Your Majesty what's wrong. He is both a king and a father. Have you wronged His Majesty?"

"Did you wrong me? If I hadn't used the money and food in my hand to suppress this locust plague. Guanzhong would have been in chaos now. Let's just say whether the surname is Li or not. Father doesn't know."

Changsun Wuji nodded: "You must have an explanation for these things, and I won't let you let His Majesty think about it."

"Is the blockade of Tongguan the reason for disaster victims running around? Isn't the lesson of the previous Sui Dynasty not enough? When the court was about to fight a war, it collected food from the people and recruited soldiers. If there was a natural disaster, it would ignore it. Then why should the people support the court? Such a court Can it last long?

I ordered the killing of some people. They took advantage of the locust plague to drive up prices and beat the bones and suck the marrow of the people. Shouldn't such people be killed? "

Li Chengqian became more and more excited as he talked, "Could it be that only the common people rebelled? The one from Da'an Palace will be free, and those aristocratic families will not use natural disasters to do something. If it weren't for Ben Gong and Du Shangshu to firmly control ten The Sixth Guards, Chang'an City has long been in chaos."

Huh, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, of course he knew that Li Chengqian would not rebel, but the emperor always had to explain it.

Now all he had to do was pass messages back and forth between the two stubborn asses, the emperor and his son.

"Then why didn't you explain it clearly to His Majesty?" Changsun Wuji didn't understand, the reason was very good, the emperor could also explain it, why did he insist on it.

"In the eyes of my father, I have the power to rebel, even if I tell a lie three times, it will come true. Besides, he already believes it. How about letting Li Ji and Zhang Liang take over Chang'an? Chengfang, why don't you go back to Chang'an directly, isn't it because you can't trust me?"

Li Chengqian's words made Changsun Wuji helpless, it's not that he didn't know the emperor's suspicious character.Li Chengqian is indeed better than Li Shimin in terms of trust in people.But his nephew's stubborn temper did follow Li Shimin's.
