bastard seizes tang

Chapter 708
The "Shen Guogong" in Li Ke's mouth is Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Gao Shilian is the natal uncle of Li Chengqian's biological mother, the eldest grandson, and the maternal uncle of Li Chengqian.

When Gao Shilian came forward, it was solemn for Yu Gong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the Duke of the current dynasty to ask about this matter; for private, Gao Shilian was a relative of Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian trusted him, and he would not be too afraid, both public and private.

When Li Shimin sent Gao Shilian to Qianzhou to thoroughly investigate the matter, while Gao Shilian was still on the way, the people sent by Chai Lingwu to invite Li Chengqian arrived in Qianzhou.

Chai Lingwu conspiring against Li Yuanchang is a capital offense, so it is naturally top-secret, and he sent a trusted confidant, this person is Chai Kuan, the steward of Chai Lingwu's residence.

Although Li Chengqian was exiled, the imperial court did not restrict Li Chengqian's freedom, so it was not difficult for Chai Kuan to see Li Chengqian, as long as he visited Li Chengqian's residence temporarily.

Chai Kuan spent some money and pretended to be a house slave, so he sneaked into Li Chengqian's mansion and found Li Chengqian who was in the study.

"The prince's handwriting is strong, and he is more and more famous." Chai Kuan, dressed in the clothes of a domestic slave, walked into Li Chengqian's study with a tea bowl in his hand, looked at Li Chengqian's copybook, and praised him softly.

Li Chengqian heard that someone came in, at first he didn't think much about it, he just looked up as an ordinary house slave, and asked, "Do you also know how to read?"

While talking, Li Chengqian looked up casually, but when Li Chengqian saw Chai Kuan's face, he was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression became solemn.

Li Chengqian knew Chai Kuan. Seeing Chai Kuan appearing here, Li Chengqian asked uneasily: "You are not staying in Chang'an, why are you here?"

Chai Kuan bowed and said: "The villain is here to meet the prince by the order of Alang."

Li Chengqian said: "I have been deposed by my father. I am no longer the prince. The current prince is the third younger brother. I am no different from ordinary people. You can call me by my name."

Hearing this, Chai Kuan hurriedly said: "In the eyes of the villain, the crown prince is always the prince, he is the heir of the Tang Dynasty, and the villain will never dare to neglect."

Chai Kuan is the steward of Chai Lingwu's mansion, but he just runs errands. Li Chengqian knew that it would be useless to investigate this appellation with Chai Kuan, so Li Chengqian put down the pen in his hand and said to Chai Kuan: "I am exiled now. body, why did Chai Lingwu order you to come and find me?"

Chai Kuan said: "The villain was ordered by Alang to take the prince back to Beijing."

"Pick me back to Beijing? Isn't that what my father meant?" Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Chai Kuan's sneaky disguise, obviously sneaking in, and said with a frown.

Chai Kuan said: "Prince, don't worry, Alang has already negotiated with the King of Han, first take the prince back to Beijing, and then naturally there will be a way for the prince to stay in Chang'an in a legitimate way."

Li Chengqian was born and raised in Chang'an, he naturally wanted to return to Chang'an, but compared to returning to Chang'an, he wanted to live more.What's more, Li Chengqian's exile in Qianzhou was not bad, so why take the risk and return to Chang'an.

Li Chengqian said angrily: "Bastard, I am in Qianzhou because of my father's intention. Why should Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang do such things without telling my father?"

Chai Kuan said: "A Lang and the King of Han didn't want to see the prince suffer in Qianzhou, and couldn't bear it, so they ordered the villain to bring the prince back to Beijing."

The current Chai Kuan came all the way from Chang'an, and there was no news from Qianzhou. The current Chai Kuan still doesn't know the fact that Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang have been defeated. .

In Chai Kuan's mind, if he directly told Li Chengqian about treason, Li Chengqian might not agree to it. The best way is to lure Li Chengqian back to Chang'an.

However, although Chai Kuan had a good idea, Li Chengqian was very cautious, and did not accept Chai Kuan's strategy of beheading first and playing later.

Chai Kuan had no choice but to tell the truth: "Your Majesty fell ill during the Eastern Expedition and fainted for a while. At this time, Your Majesty has been controlled by Li Ke and Li Ji and Li Daozong. Li Ke wants to use this to control the government. A Lang and the King of Han have raised troops to serve the king in order to put things right. "

Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard Chai Kuan's words.

Li Chengqian knew the news of Li Shimin's illness, but as far as Li Chengqian knew, Li Shimin's life was not in danger. How could it be that Li Ke colluded with Li Ji and Li Daozong to control the government?If there is no such thing, the so-called raising troops to serve the king is simply an act of treason.

Regardless of the authenticity of what Chai Kuan said, Li Chengqian didn't want to get involved with Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang's affairs, and just wanted to keep a respectful distance.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just a prisoner of the first order, and I can't help you at all. Why do you come to find me?"

Chai Kuan said: "Alang and the King of Han set up troops to serve as King Qin. They took the name of the prince. This time, we only need to wait for the prince to return to Beijing. With a single call, he can separate Guanzhong as emperor, and divide the east and west with Li Ke. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Chai Kuan's words caught his ears, and Li Chengqian's eyes were full of horror and fear. He didn't expect that Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang would use his name in their rebellion. If the news reached Li Shimin or Li Ke , what would they think?I am afraid that even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he will not be able to cleanse himself.

Li Chengqian said anxiously: "I have no grievances or enmities with you, why did you entrap me like this, and you were about to kill me?"

Chai Kuan explained: "Your Majesty is in a coma and ignores government affairs. As long as the Crown Prince returns to Beijing and raises his arms, it will surely be accomplished. If this is accomplished, the Crown Prince will be able to report to the relevant authorities. This is wealth and wealth, why does the Crown Prince say such a thing. "

Li Chengqian said angrily: "You conspired against me in the name of me. If the third brother knew about it, how would you treat me? I can still live. You are trying to force me to my death."

Chai Kuan said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill and comatose. Without Your Majesty's protection for Li Ke, Li Ke is nothing. As long as the prince comes forward, if we guard Tongguan again, Li Ke will do nothing to the prince."

In Li Chengqian's view, Li Yuanchang and Chai Lingwu's rebellion was just a way to kill, but Chai Kuan thought things too simply.

Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Do you think that Li Ke's success today is all due to his father's favor?"

Just as Li Ke knew Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, who had stayed in Qianzhou for a few years after several defeats, also understood Li Ke. The more Li Chengqian thought about it now, the more he realized Li Ke's power It's not wrong to lose.

Compared with Li Shimin's favor, none of the princes, including Li Ke, can compare with Li Chengqian, the eldest son of the first line, but Li Ke has been able to walk step by step as a concubine to today, and every step is counted first. Li Chengqian's courage, city and ability are not comparable to Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian was the prince, he still lost to Li Ke, let alone relying on two mediocre talents, Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang?

As long as there is a choice, being an enemy of Li Ke can be said to be the last thing Li Chengqian wants to do, so Li Chengqian has also made up his mind, no matter what Chai Kuan says, he will not leave Qianzhou for half a step, otherwise he will die Undoubtedly, no one can save him.
