Became a prodigy in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 257 Chaos in Chang'an City

Sure enough, the next day, there were rumors in Chang'an City.

In a tavern.

A scholar was talking to a table full of drinking buddies.

"Do you know? I heard that Tubo is coming."

"What? My dear brother, where did you get the news? Is it accurate?" A drinking buddy asked in surprise.

The scholar said: "That must be accurate. Let me tell you, this is something that our Duke Zhong made up. Is it fake?"

"What's going on here? Please tell me in detail, dear friend."

The scholar began to talk: "This is absolutely true news. Just yesterday, Duke Zhong killed the Tubo princess who came to our Tang Dynasty. The head was sent back to their brother Zanpu."

"Do you know what Zanpu is? Zanpu is the great king of Tubo. You say that he is a great king of Tubo. Can he bear such bad news? Can he not send troops to attack our Tang Dynasty?"

A drinking buddy said angrily: "How could this Duke Zhong do such a thing? This is putting the life and death of our people at risk! It's over, now our Tang Dynasty is going to be full of wars, and people are dying. What should we do? "

The scholar said: "That's not the worst thing. The worst thing is that he even threatened on the spot that if the Tibetans dare to come, he will personally go into battle and teach them a lesson."

"However, now the Tubo people are really coming. He dare not go. He only cares about making troubles, and doesn't care about cleaning up! It's really abominable. I used to think that he was a good man, Duke Zhong, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious. "

A drinking buddy echoed: "Well, it's really disgusting. We all misjudged him before."

These half-truths and half-false rumors quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.As a result, the people's good impression of Cheng Chuli plummeted, and everyone began to curse Cheng Chuli.

Under the impetus of caring people, the common people soon began to gather and went to Lu Guogong's mansion to ask Cheng Chuli to come forward and give everyone an explanation.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin was not at home.Of course Cheng Chuli and his brothers would not be in Lu Guogong's residence.

Only Cheng Chuli's mother Cui Shi and the housekeeper were at home.

At this time, the housekeeper hurried in and said to Cui Shi: "Madam, it's not good, our Duke Lu's mansion is surrounded by those people. Madam, what should we do now?"

Cui is also very headache, these people can't be beaten, can't be scolded, really can't do anything about them.

Cui Ren asked, "What are they doing besieging Duke Lu's mansion?"

The butler said: "They said that our young master killed the Tubo princess and attracted the Tubo army. They asked our young master to come forward to resolve this matter. Otherwise, they will personally lead the troops to the battlefield and drive the Tubo people back."

"Nonsense, it's nonsense, Xiao Chuli is a five-year-old child, what ability does he have to drive back the Tibetans. I think they did it on purpose, deliberately wanting to send my family Chuli to the battlefield."

But no matter how much Cui swears, there is nothing he can do now.

"Housekeeper, order our family's soldiers to guard the gate of the mansion. Anyone who dares to step forward will be killed by me. When the young master receives the news, he will definitely find a solution."

"Yes."

The butler agreed and hurried out.

In Datang, not to mention in Datang, no matter when, in such a situation, someone dares to step into the door of other people, they can really kill people without guilt.

Therefore, Duke Lu's mansion is still safe for the time being.

In fact, the person who took the lead in making trouble didn't want to attack Duke Lu's mansion.I don't even want to cause trouble to kill people.

They just want to make noise like this, keep making noise, put pressure on the emperor, and let the emperor send Cheng Chuli to the battlefield.

Today is the day for Kong Yingda to sign books.

However, today doesn't seem like a good day for book sales.There was no one who came to buy books.All ran to make trouble.

The Tubo army is about to attack, who else wants to buy books?Might as well save the money for the next disaster!
This whole Kong Yingda is very depressed.The scene where a sea of ​​people came to praise him did not appear.

What appeared was the crowd of people who were making trouble everywhere.

No matter how chaotic Chang'an City was, Chengjia Village where Cheng Chuli lived was still calm.

When Cheng Chuli received the news, he smiled.

He said to the servants of Lu Guogong's mansion who came to report the letter: "Go back and tell my mother, as long as they don't attack my house, let them make trouble as much as they want, and I will have my own solution when the time comes."

After the person who came to report the letter left.

Cheng Chuli said to Li Chengqian who was next to him: "Fourth junior brother, get ready, we can enter the palace in a while."

"Bastard, it's a bastard, who spread this rumor? Let me check it out, I must find it out."

Li Er received the news in the Tai Chi Hall, and immediately smashed the memorial on the table.

A minister from Wang Gui's group came out and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Li Er said angrily: "Speak quickly if you have anything."

The minister said: "Your Majesty, is this a drama directed and acted by Cheng Chuli? The purpose is to force the emperor to allow him to go to the battlefield."

Some ministers rushed to Fu He, and whispered there: "Master Wang is right! In this world, no one except Cheng Chuli would dare to do this."

"Who says it's not? Only this kid dares not to look down on the emperor and do this unscrupulously!"

"That's right, that's very possible. This kid is a little bit capable, and he has stepped down our civil and military affairs all over the court. Now, he has expanded to the point where he wants to challenge the authority of the emperor."

A group of ministers were discussing quietly there, but that voice.Li Er was completely audible.

Cheng Yaojin got angry, and jumped out and said, "You dog officials, what kind of Kyushu gossip and colorful serial fart are you here. Do you know how much this incident has affected my son? Now the people in the whole Chang'an city are scolding me Son, how could I do such a mindless thing?"

"In my opinion, this thing must have been done by you dog officials. The purpose is to harm my son, you bastards. You just wait for me. I, Cheng Zhijie, will never end with you."

As a military officer, how could Cheng Yaojin be the opponent of these civil servants.

A civil servant said in a low voice: "Look, his son is so powerful that even his father is swollen, and he dared to roar in front of the emperor. The whole court. Only he, Cheng Zhijie, dared to do that."

"I……"

Cheng Yaojin was so angry!I don't know what to say, I want to go up and beat someone, but I don't know who to beat.

He believed that as long as he dared to hit someone, the civil servants would say that he was defiant and lawless again.He dared to hit someone in front of the emperor.

"Shut up all of you."

Li Er roared, everyone shut up, and the hall fell silent immediately.

Then Li Er said: "Let's talk about it, how should we deal with this matter? It is impossible for a child under the age of six to go to the battlefield."

That's right, in Li Shimin's perception, if a six-year-old child is sent to the battlefield, he will definitely be laughed to death by the neighbors.

To be honest, let Cheng Chuli fight, and let him, the emperor, stay at home with fear and sleeplessness every day.It might as well be that the emperor himself puts on his clothes and goes into battle!It's not that Li Shimin has never fought a war.

This feeling is the same as letting your wife go to a nightclub to accompany you for a drink.Well, it's more serious than that.

The official from Wang Gui's group came out and said, "Your Majesty, in this situation, there is no other way but to let Duke Zhong go into battle."

Another official came out and said: "Master Wang is right. Only in this way can we prevent the impact of this incident on Duke Zhong."

"you."

Li Shimin is so angry!I almost couldn't help but order someone to pull these two guys out and chop them up.

However, he asked others to say the words, so he couldn't just drag them out and chop them up because what he said didn't suit his wishes?
In this way, he is really a foolish king.

Another official came out and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, things are not as bad as we thought. The Emperor refuses to let Cheng Chuli fight because he is just worried about him. As long as we take better protection measures, we will be fine. "

"For example, let General Cheng fight with him. With General Cheng, not only can he be controlled, but also his life can be guaranteed. What else do we have to worry about?"

Well, Li Shimin felt a little more comfortable listening to these words.At the very least, this is considered a more pertinent suggestion.

After listening to what the official said, it seems that letting Cheng Chuli go to the battlefield is not a very bad thing.

But, no matter what they say, it is best not to let Cheng Chuli go to the battlefield, or not to let him go to the battlefield.

Li Shimin said: "Is there any Aiqing who has a solution? No matter what, I can't let a child under six years old go to the battlefield."

Suddenly the scene fell silent again.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng angrily, and said, "Doctor Wei, you caused this matter, tell me, how to solve it now?"

What the hell?Why did I mess it up.

Wei Zheng felt so innocent, but looking back, it seemed that what Li Shimin said was not wrong.

If Wei Zheng hadn't gone to the mining field to have a look that day, such a thing would not have happened.

Therefore, it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that Wei Zheng provoked the matter.

In an instant, Wei Zheng had a brain teaser.Said: "Your Majesty, I have a very good solution, and that is to let Cheng Zhijie fight instead of him. Cheng Chuli is too young, so it is only natural to let General Cheng go out of the country on his behalf. In this way, the people have nothing to say gone."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he retreated to his position. Anyway, the emperor asked him to give an idea, and he has already done so. Whether he can do it or not is none of his business.

Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up, it seemed that this was really a good idea.

"Hey, Wei Zheng, I, Old Cheng, have to admit that you literati are better at using your brains. Okay, let's do it like this."

Cheng Yaojin went out and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should follow Master Wei's method!"

However, before Li Er could speak, another official stood up and said, "General Cheng, this matter is not as simple as you think. The matter was provoked by Duke Zhong, so it must be resolved by Duke Zhong himself. If If you, General Cheng, will replace him, it will only make Duke Zhong's reputation worse."

Another official said: "Master Wang is right. If you have nothing to do, General Cheng, it's fine. If you are injured, General Cheng, or something, then Duke Zhong won't have to live anymore. A cheater!" Words were made for him."

"That's right, the voice of the people is for Duke Zhong to fight in person. These are his own bold words. If he shrinks back and lets General Cheng fight instead of him, the people will never let it go."

Li Shimin's gaze was fixed on the official who spoke coldly.

The official quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I just analyzed the truth. Although the words are not pleasant, they are the truth, the truth."

This guy also speaks in a dignified manner, as if those who speak well are traitors, and only those who speak badly like him are loyal ministers.

Li Er really had no choice but to deal with these people, knowing that there would be no result if the discussion continued.

He could only say to Li Junxian: "Li Junxian, you should go there yourself and let Cheng Chuli come into the palace!"

Li Junxian agreed, turned around and left.Running so fast is called a fast one.

Going to find Cheng Chuli is his favorite thing to do, at least he has a car to sit in, and there is such an air conditioner in the car, it's so cool!

Li Junxian rode a horse with people.Just about to set off, after running for a short distance, his face suddenly darkened, calling your sister, it seems very uncomfortable.

Ahead, Cheng Chuli's convoy has already driven over, how cool is that?

Cheng Chuli's car drove up in front of him, showing a small head, and said with a smile: "General Li, where are you going?"

"I."

Is this trying to make fun of me?Li Junxian was thinking like this in his heart, but he had to say: "Mr. Zhong, the emperor ordered me to find you, but unexpectedly, you came first."

Cheng Chuli: "Oh, General Li, you don't look very good-looking? Are you not happy that the emperor asked you to find me? It's okay, I'll come here first, so that General Li won't have to make a trip."

Li Junxian is so depressed!With a smile on his face, but in his heart he is a mother's critic.

you boy.Why are you so angry when you talk?

Li Junxian followed Cheng Chuli's motorcade to the gate of Tai Chi Hall with a depressed expression.

Cheng Chuli got out of the car and saw that Li Chengqian got out of the car too.Said to him: "Fourth Junior Brother, lend your warrior to General Li for a few days. Let him have a good time, you see he has never seen a car before."

"Good teacher!"

Li Chengqian happily agreed.

Although the car has been borrowed, he can use the pickup truck at will, and he can also drive the cars of other senior brothers at will.So this thing is not a big deal to him, Li Chengqian.

Oh my god.

Li Junxian heard the words!Immediately, he slipped off the horse excitedly, ran to Cheng Chuli's side, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Duke Zhong, thank you, Duke Zhong."
