Chapter 249 The Prince Impeached
There has never been a shortage of good people in this world. As soon as Li Ke brought Xianniang back to Linjiang Palace, the news spread and spread into Chang'an.

Li Ke won the hearts of beauties with the [-] mu of Yongye land bestowed by Li Shimin. If this kind of deed was in an ordinary family, it would definitely be regarded as a prodigal son who lost his ancestors' foundation.

However, Li Ke is the prince, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty is so arrogant. As long as he does not bully the good, he is regarded as a virtuous person. In addition, Li Ke has long been known as a romantic man. These things spread to Chang'an, and most of the people in Chang'an City treated him as a virtuous man. A romantic affair is just a matter of hearing, it's not a big deal, it can't move Li Ke's muscles.

And now the emperor Li Shimin in Chang'an City is not all on Li Ke, but more on Prince Li Chengqian.

In recent days, Crown Prince Li Chengqian often went out of the East Palace at night, accompanied by several entourages, went to Pingkangfang to spend the night in the Xieyu Tower, and did not return all night.

The incident of staying overnight in the brothel was originally a popular way, if it happened to ordinary officials, even if it happened to the prince, it would not be a big deal, but there were two exceptions, one was the emperor Li Shimin, and the other was the crown prince Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian's concealment of this matter, coupled with Li Chengqian's identity here, others dare not say more, so few people in Chang'an City know about it, but Yu Zhining, a minister of the Eastern Palace, is the prince Zuo Shuzi, the chief official of the Eastern Palace Gate Xiafang, and Li Chengqian's whereabouts. How can we completely avoid him?
Once is fine, twice is fine, and three times is fine, but Yu Zhining is not blind, Li Chengqian did not return to the palace at night more often, Yu Zhining naturally saw the clues.

Yu Zhining has the most anxious temper. When Yu Zhining found out that Li Chengqian was staying overnight in the brothel, he was so angry that he couldn't even wait to write the memorial, so he immediately entered the palace.

Yu Zhining was Li Shimin's confidant. When Li Shimin was still the King of Qin, Yu Zhining was a Zhonglang in Tiance Mansion.

Yu Zhining is an important minister of the country, he was eager to enter the palace and must have something important to do, as soon as Yu Zhining's request for an audience was handed over to the palace, Li Shimin informed Yu Zhining in the Ganlu Palace.

"The crown prince Zuo Shuzi Yu Zhining pays homage to His Majesty." As soon as Yu Zhining entered the hall, he bowed down to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was reviewing the new memorial sent to the palace, and when he heard Yu Zhining's title, he vaguely guessed why Yu Zhining asked for an audience.

Yu Zhining worshiped the Minister of Zhongshu, and Li Shimin relied on him, so he ordered him to be the prince Zuo Shuzi and teach the prince's lessons.And Zhongshu Shilang is the second official of Zhongshu Shengzuo. Although he is only the fourth rank, he is in the position of Zaifu and plays an important role in the court.

If it was normal, when Yu Zhining entered the palace to meet Li Shimin and reported important matters, he must have claimed to be the Minister of Zhongshu, but now that Yu Zhining claimed to be the Prince Zuo Shuzi, the things he played were naturally related to Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin raised his hand, signaled Yu Zhining to stand up, and asked: "It's the time of the Qing government, Zhong Mi (Yu Zhining's name) is not a member of the provincial council, but there is something important to enter the palace?"

Yu Zhining replied: "I have come to the palace this time to ask Your Majesty to resign from the position of Prince Zuo Shuzi, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it."

Li Shimin was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Li Shimin knew that Yu Zhining's entry into the palace must be for the sake of the prince, but he never expected that Yu Zhining's reaction would be so intense that he wanted to resign from his concurrent position in the East Palace.

Yu Zhining came from the Wanniu Yu family in Xianbei. His great-grandfather Yu Jin was one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms in the Western Wei Dynasty. One of the ministers, Li Shimin naturally had high hopes for Zhining's actions in the East Palace.

Li Shimin heard Yu Zhining's resignation, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what happened, why did Zhong Mi ask to resign from Zuo Shuzi?"

Yu Zhining's so-called resignation was originally just a means of handling things, not a decision.

Yu Zhining said with a straight face: "The prince is stubborn, and I have no way to teach him. I dare not take up this important task. I have come to resign from His Majesty."

Hearing what Yu Zhining said, Li Shimin immediately understood.

No wonder Yu Zhining wanted to resign as soon as he came up. It turned out that the prince had done something bad, and Yu Zhining was using the excuse of resignation to show the prince's loss.

In terms of primary and secondary, Li Chengqian is the king and Yu Zhining is the minister. Naturally, Yu Zhining is inconvenient to criticize Li Chengqian's faults at will, so Yu Zhining used the theory of resignation to meet with Li Chengqian and report Li Chengqian's faults.

Sure enough, when Yu Zhining said this, Li Shimin immediately asked: "I don't know what the prince is doing, but Zhong Mi is so aggressive."

Yu Zhining replied: "The crown prince has lost his womanhood, and has been in the brothel. He has not returned to the palace for several days and nights. He lives in a brothel. If this continues, how amazing it is."

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard Yu Zhining's words, and asked with a surprised expression: "Is there such a thing?"

Yu Zhining nodded, sighed and said: "The prince stays in the brothel at night, and he only knows to drink for fun all day long. When he reads in the daytime, he is in a drowsy state, or he is sick. , hid in the inner hall and slept soundly, and now the prince has not made much progress in his studies for more than a month, I see it in my eyes and worry in my heart."

Li Shimin frowned after hearing Yu Zhining's words.

Among the princes of Li Shimin, Li Ke is the most famous in terms of virtuous names, but although Li Chengqian is not as famous as Li Ke, he is not inferior to Li Ke when it comes to wisdom and wisdom.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin drove to Qizhou and was not in Chang'an. It was Li Chengqian who stayed in Beijing as the prince to supervise the country.At that time, Li Chengqian was quite organized and methodical in dealing with affairs, which was highly praised by Li Shimin.

Even in order to cultivate Li Chengqian, Li Shimin once landed on Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Changsun Xiang, Chu Liang and other Confucian ministers to teach Li Ke to study, which can be described as well-intentioned.

But it was such a prince whom Li Shimin had placed high hopes on, who actually did such absurd things, how could Li Shimin not be shocked and angry.

Li Shimin slapped the table angrily and said: "The crown prince is so bold that he dared to do such absurd things. I will investigate thoroughly and find out the culprit."

In Li Shimin's eyes, Li Chengqian was originally a well-behaved person who acted properly, but now that he suddenly did this, it was naturally a treacherous slander, which misled Li Chengqian.

Yu Zhining, as the son of the prince Zuo concubine, played this matter to use Li Shimin's hand to correct Li Chengqian's mistakes, and did not intend to shake Li Chengqian's position as prince. He is not a person who enjoys absurdity, and I think that after this incident, there must be a villain instigating it."

Li Shimin asked Zhining: "Does Zhong Mi know who is accompanying the prince every day?"

Yu Zhining replied, "Li Yuanchang, King of Han."

Li Yuanchang was very close to Li Chengqian, and remembered Li Chengqian's trust. Li Chengqian almost obeyed Li Yuanchang's words, so that he couldn't listen to Yu Zhining's advice. out.

Li Yuanchang!
Ever since Li Yuanchang was in trouble with Li Ke, Li Shimin had long been dissatisfied with his younger brother, and now that Li Chengqian was involved, Li Shimin's dissatisfaction with Li Yuanchang became even greater.

Li Shimin clapped the table and said: "The king of Han has been in Beijing for a long time, and he only cares about fooling around with the prince every day. Is it a serious matter? I will immediately make an order that the king of Han will be the governor of Xingzhou, and he will be released to other places, and he will not be allowed to return to Beijing at will."

Xingzhou is far away in Hanzhong, hundreds of miles away from Guanzhong. Li Shimin sent Li Yuanchang to Hanzhong as an official, firstly to punish Li Yuanchang, and secondly to beat Li Chengqian, asking him to take care of himself and stop doing wrong things again.

Whether it is Li Shimin or Yu Zhining, their intentions are good after all, but they don't know that Li Chengqian is by no means a submissive person, and what happened today is just the beginning of Li Chengqian's absurdity, not the end.
