Man Tanghong

Chapter 23
The injured Li Jiancheng almost thought that Liu Jun had fallen for Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng smiled heartily, and said without hesitation: "I thought you were taking advantage of Shimin."

Liu Jun said humbly: "Except for the rewards from everyone and Your Highness, other ministers dare not take them randomly."

Li Jiancheng nodded in satisfaction, "You are indeed a smart person."

After saying this, Li Jiancheng's memorial had already been written, and after drying the ink, he handed it to Liu Jun together with Li Yuanji's memorial.

After Liu Jun got the memorial, he didn't want to stay any longer, and left Chongren Hall as if fleeing.

After Liu Jun left, the smile on Li Jiancheng's face disappeared instantly. He picked up the pen again and swiped at the paper. Not long after, the contents of Li Yuanji's memorial appeared on the paper verbatim .

Li Jiancheng handed the ink to Zheng Guanyin before it dried.

Zheng Guanyin took the paper and reviewed it carefully. After a long time, he looked shocked, "How dare he?"

Li Jiancheng sneered and said, "My fourth brother, you are very courageous."

Zheng Guanyin hurriedly said: "It should not be true, it is impossible for Shiro to help Erlang."

Zheng Guanyin knew what Li Jiancheng was most worried about and what he was most afraid of.

Li Jiancheng said coldly: "I know it's not true. Father wouldn't take it seriously, and Shimin wouldn't take it seriously either. If he really wanted to help Shimin, he wouldn't say it so openly."

Li Jiancheng got up suddenly, punched the bench, and said through gritted teeth, "But he's disgusting and disgusting."

Seeing that Li Jiancheng didn't believe what Li Yuanji said in Zou Shuli, Zheng Guanyin was relieved, but seeing Li Jiancheng's angry attitude, he raised his heart again.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Of course, I have to swallow my anger and write a letter to my father, saying that my elder brother is not doing well enough, so that my younger brother will feel alienated from me."

Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth.

Li Yuanji disgusted him, but he couldn't take revenge, so he had to write a letter to Li Yuan against his conscience, saying it was his fault.

If he took the opportunity to take revenge on Li Yuanji, Li Yuan's heart would be chilled.

When Li Yuan showed Li Yuanji's memorial to him and Li Shimin, it was not only based on Li Shimin's attitude, but also his attitude.

If he is narrow-minded, take the opportunity to attack his younger brother.

It is very likely that Li Yuan will reconsider the ownership of the crown prince.

Li Yuan would never let a narrow-minded son come to power to threaten the lives of other sons.

If Li Yuan had no choice, he wouldn't have to care so carefully about Li Yuan's thoughts.

But Li Yuan has a choice, and the next one seems to be better?

Zheng Guanyin understood Li Jiancheng's mood, and after thinking about it for a while, she asked in a low voice, "Do you want to send someone to send something to Wude Hall?"

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, but he had to admit that Zheng Guanyin's proposal was far better than his simple previous memorial.

"Then choose a part of this winter's tribute and send it to Wude Hall!"

Li Jiancheng almost suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said these words.

Zheng Guanyin nodded and went down to prepare gifts.

……

Wude Hall.

After Li Yuanji sent out the memorial, he felt at ease all of a sudden.

When Xie Shufang rushed to the main hall and told Li Yuanji that Li Yuan ordered the Wude Hall to be sealed, Li Yuanji felt more at ease.

Li Yuan ordered the seal of Wude Palace, what does this mean?
It means that Li Yuan is angry.

Li Yuan was angry, and Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Pei Ji's life would definitely not be easy.

The three 'enemies' Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Pei Ji had a hard time, and Li Yuanji must have felt more at ease.

Although the price paid was a bit high, it meant killing one thousand enemies and harming oneself by eight hundred.

But as long as he can take revenge on the 'enemy', as long as he can express the anger in his heart, Li Yuanji is still willing to pay a certain price.

After all, his 'enemies' are not ordinary people. One is the first prince who can be called through the ages, the other is the emperor who shines in the annals of history, and the other is the prime minister who has left a strong mark in the history.

To deal with an 'enemy' of this level, it is normal to pay a small price.

Li Yuanji felt at ease, so he didn't bother to stay in the main hall of Wude Hall.

He left the main hall of the Wude Hall, walked around the Wude Hall, and unknowingly walked to the Wude Gate, the main entrance of the Wude Hall, and saw a group of guards who sealed him the Wude Hall.

The two leaders, Li Yuanji, knew each other, and they were the two Qianniu Beishen who took the lead in capturing him in front of Ganlu Hall.

At that time, he felt a little familiar and didn't recognize it.

Now that he saw it, he had a little impression.

One is Qu Tutong's eldest son, Qu Tushou; the other is Yin Qiao's stepson, Yin Yuan.

Two second generations.

Two heirs to the king.

There is no need to fight on the battlefield for the sake of glory and wealth, and there is no need to intrigue for the sake of official status.

Just messing around is enough, when their father is gone, they will be the new dukes.

One stood at the finish line as soon as he was born, and the other stood at the finish line in a daze not long after he was born.

Although Li Yuanji himself had already stood at the end of the destination, his destination was incomparably safer than that of Qu Tushou and Yin Yuan.

When the two saw Li Yuanji, they took the initiative to greet him.

"See Your Highness..."

The two bowed together to salute.

Qu Tushou is a middle-aged man of 40 years old. He is tall and burly. When he bends down, he looks very awkward.

Yin Yuan is about 20 years old. He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor short. He has an ordinary body and looks nothing special.

Li Yuanji's predecessor went to the battlefield with Qu Tutong and Yin Qiao, and also met Qu Tushou and Yin Yuan, so he was quite familiar with each other.

"The two of you, in the Ganlu Palace, you have given me a lot of embarrassment."

Li Yuanji made a serious face on purpose.

Yin Yuan was a little at a loss, but Qu Tushou raised his head and showed a bright smile.

"Your Highness has a lot of them, so he won't be as knowledgeable as us."

Qu Tushou's father, Qu Tutong, was a Xiren, a branch of Donghu. Qu Tushou also had a hooked nose, deep eye sockets, and black hair.

Therefore, the predecessor liked to get close to Qu Tutong.

But Qu Tutong was indifferent to his predecessor, but Qu Tushou was willing to talk to his predecessor.

That's why Qu Tushou dared to speak carelessly in front of Li Yuanji.

"Am I an adult?!"

Li Yuanji asked with a half-smile.

Qu Tushou's face froze all of a sudden.

In Datang, "adult" is not called an official, but a father.

What Li Yuanji said was like asking 'Am I your father'.

It's strange that Qu Tushou's face is not stiff.

Yin Yuan said with a stiff expression: "His Royal Highness, the minister offends you, and it is the order of the saint..."

Li Yuanji glanced at Yin Yuan, and said a little speechlessly: "I'm just a joke, why do you take it seriously?"

After saying this, Li Yuanji looked at Qu Tushou, "How could you be a colleague with such a boring person?"

Qu Tushou smiled wryly, not knowing how to answer.

Could it be that he told Li Yuanji that he was from a barbarian, so he was not well received by others, and that he could only be friends with Yin Yuan, who was also not well received by others?

Although Yin Yuan is Yin Qiao's son, he is also the only heir to Yin Qiao's title.

But he is a stepson, and his status as the only heir is limited to the present.

Once Yin Qiao gave birth to a son, his status as heir would immediately become invalid.

The other colleagues came from similar backgrounds to them and knew Yin Yuan's situation, so they didn't like Yin Yuan very much.

The two of them who are not liked by others can only hug together to keep warm.

But this cannot be said to Li Yuanji.

Because Li Yuanji's predecessor had bloody things about him and hated him deeply, he would turn against anyone who raised it.

Not to mention the two younger ones, even if the two elders in the family came, Li Yuanji couldn't bear it when he turned his face.

Seeing Qu Tushou smiled wryly and didn't speak, Li Yuanji was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood what Qu Tushou was afraid of.

He stopped asking immediately, just stared at Qu Tushou and said, "How did my father explain to you? Did I completely seal off my Wude Palace, or did I allow people from my Wude Palace to go out? Or let me Go out every now and then to let the wind out?"

Hearing this, Qu Tushou breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "The sage just issued an order to seal your Wude Hall, and didn't say anything else."

Li Yuanji nodded in satisfaction.

Since Li Yuan just issued an order to seal his Wude Hall, he didn't say anything else.

That means there is still room for maneuver.

For example, go over the wall, or find an excuse to send someone over the wall.

The guards guarding the door probably turned a blind eye.

If Li Yuan knew about it, he would probably act as if he didn't know anything.

As long as you don't get caught by Li Yuan, it's fine.

"Very well, you stay here and guard, and not a single mouse can be released."

Li Yuanji explained in a grand manner, and left the gate of Wudemen with his hands behind his back.

As soon as Li Yuanji left, Yin Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Qu Tushou with lingering fear: "Our Highness, it seems that he is not as fierce as the legend says..."

Qu Tushou glanced at Yin Yuan, "It depends on the person..."

Yin Yuan looked at Qu Tushou in puzzlement.

Qu Tushou pointed to his eye sockets, then pointed to his nose.

Yin Yuan suddenly realized.

After Yin Yuan understood why Li Yuanji became so talkative, he asked in a mysterious way, "If he wants to force his way out, should we stop him?"

Qu Tushou was taken aback for a moment, then stared and shouted: "Can you stop it? Has your shoulder injury healed?"

Yin Yuan touched his shoulder with lingering fear on his face.

He was the one who was thrown out by Li Yuanji in front of Ganlu Hall.

When he went to stop Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji hit him on the shoulder first, then grabbed his arm and swung him out.

That strength is still fresh in his memory.

That punch was powerful, but it didn't cause too much damage. In his father's words, it meant that the opponent should have kept his strength, otherwise he would have been useless.

If Li Yuanji really used his strength and martial arts to force his way out of the Hall of Martial Virtue, then he and Qu Tushou would really be unable to stop him.

Qu Tushou saw that Yin Yuan's face was not good-looking, he patted Yin Yuan's head, and shouted: "Okay, don't think about it. He won't break out."
