This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 843 Volume Shock Chang'an!

The Duke's Mansion of Qi.

Empress Changsun was calmly drinking the new tea that was tributed from the Ming Dynasty while listening to Changsun Chong and the other juniors chattering.

Although she is the queen, it is not convenient for her to leave the palace since Li Er and Li Chengqian are not in Chang'an.

Of course, no one dared to criticize me when I went back to my parents' home.

"Aunt, are we having dinner at the mansion tonight?" Seeing that his aunt had no intention of speaking, Chang Sun Chong asked immediately.

I said it was a question, but in fact I was just looking for a topic to talk about.

Empress Changsun left the palace this time just to show everyone, so it was naturally impossible for her to return to the palace early.

However, Chang Sun Chong was still a little nervous when facing his aunt. Although Chang Sun was easy-going, once she became serious, few people dared to talk and laugh in front of her.

"It's still early for dinner." Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun gently put down the lid of the tea bowl she was holding, and then said, "What's the situation outside now? I've been out of the palace for so long, what are those guys doing?"

Speaking of which, Changsun was also a little confused at the moment.

This was her first public appearance since she was assassinated. Moreover, she had been living in the Eastern Palace since she was assassinated. Except for people like Chang Sun Chong, no one else had the chance to pay their respects to her.

There have been rumors that she is unwell during this period, otherwise she would not have come out like this today.

But now she has been out of the palace for some time. Logically, those who should have received the news should have received the news. However, after such a long time, there has been no news at all. This surprised Changsun.

"That's a big deal." Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Chong seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and said quickly, "Just now, news came in that many people were celebrating after hearing that my aunt is in good health. The rumors that were circulating before have all been proven wrong."

"That's enough." After hearing what Chang Sun Chong said, Empress Chang Sun smiled and waved her hand, saying, "There's no need to pick nice things to say. This palace knows better than anyone else. Now..."

Empress Changsun stood up and walked outside the room. She looked at the still clear sky and said, "I wonder how many people are looking forward to my passing away...

But I just don’t agree with them. I want to see what kind of demons dare to disrupt the order of the Tang Dynasty! "

After saying this, the usually gentle Empress Changsun slammed her fist heavily on the doorway.

Perhaps she used too much force, and the pain made Empress Changsun quickly withdraw her hand and hide it in her sleeve.

As for Chang Sun Chong and the others, they were all silent for a moment.

When had they ever seen their aunt so angry?
Moreover, although Chang Sun Chong has become much more mature now, he is also capable of standing on his own in many cases.

But to be honest, compared with people like Empress Changsun who assisted Li Er in seizing the throne, she still lacked a lot of political experience.

This has nothing to do with ability, it's just experience.

"Aunt, calm down." Although he didn't quite understand what Chang Sun meant for a while, Chang Sun Chong still reacted as quickly as possible and bowed, "The Tang Dynasty has His Majesty, Aunt, and His Highness. Who else dares to cause trouble?"

What he said was not just flattery.

In the current situation, if we were to say who has the ability to disrupt the Tang Dynasty, it seems that it is only His Highness.

"I don't care if anyone dares to disrupt the order of our Tang Dynasty. As long as there is, I will lead people to wipe out his entire family!" Fang Yiai, who was on duty at the side, heard this and said directly. He didn't care about the deep meaning of Chang Sun's words. He only knew that the Tang Dynasty was his own prince's Tang Dynasty. If anyone wanted to disrupt the Tang Dynasty, it could only be his prince. If others dared to cause chaos, he would really kill them!

As soon as he finished speaking, the guys from the Changming Army immediately started making a lot of noise.

They are all at the age of full of vigor and vitality. In addition, they have never been defeated since they joined the army. It is hard to comment on their abilities, but they are all more irritable than each other.

Seeing this scene, Empress Changsun smiled but said nothing.

Although this was not the effect she wanted, it was also a pleasant surprise.

Just then, the doorman came to report.

"Empress, young master, the Prince of Hejian requests an audience."

When she heard that it was Li Xiaogong who came, Empress Changsun nodded without saying much.

Empress Changsun had no opinion about Li Xiaogong. Although this guy was a royal relative, he had always been a very disciplined person.

As long as those members of the royal family abided by the rules, Empress Chang Sun would never be too harsh on them.

Soon, Li Xiaogong walked in quickly.

After a simple ceremony, Li Xiaogong said, "Your Majesty is in good health, which is a blessing for our Tang Dynasty."

Since the assassination attempt, Empress Changsun has not made any public appearance, so people in Chang'an are speculating about Empress Changsun's health condition. To this end, many people have resorted to despicable means.

However, the Eastern Palace is guarded by the Changming Army, so no one can succeed.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Upon hearing this, Chang Sun smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern these days."

During the time she lived in the Eastern Palace, Li Xiaogong asked for an audience more than once, but was declined every time by Empress Changsun.

She also needed to take this opportunity to test everyone's attitude, or in other words, she was actually giving some people an opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole.

"I wonder what important matter has the prince come here for today?"

After hearing this, Li Xiaogong said, "It's not a big deal."

As he spoke, he briefly introduced the ideas of those clan members.

"Now that your majesty is far away in Siam, we have no choice but to ask your majesty to make the decision on this matter."

The affairs of the clan members are family affairs. As the mistress of the Li family, the eldest grandson is naturally the one who makes the decision.

Hearing him say this, Changsun was delighted.

Have those stupid relatives changed their character?

However, she did not refuse. Instead, she pretended to think deeply and said, "Now the court and the people are vigorously promoting movable type printing. This shows that everyone from top to bottom wants to revitalize the culture and education of our Tang Dynasty. This is a good thing and the trend in the future.

At this time, they are willing to devote themselves to the cultural and educational revitalization of our Tang Dynasty. How can I refuse them?"

They probably don’t even believe in the idea of ​​revitalizing culture and education, but it is indeed an impeccable excuse.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaogong naturally didn't say much and nodded in agreement.

And at this time, someone else asked to see him.

In fact, these people actually arrived earlier than Li Xiaogong. However, since the queen had returned to her parents' home, there was no reason for them to ask for a meeting, right?
It was only after seeing Li Xiaogong go in that these people made up their minds.

As for the purpose of their request for a meeting, it was much simpler than Li Xiaogong's.

Empress Changsun did not refuse these people and asked Changsun Chong to invite everyone in.

"See..."

After everyone finished their greetings, the eldest grandson waved his hand and said unhappily, "It's rare for me to go back to my parents' home, and you can't let me have a moment of leisure..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Fortunately, these guys were able to swallow their pride. Someone immediately stood up and said, "It is true that we are being presumptuous, but since the queen was assassinated, we have been very worried. Today, we heard that the queen left the palace, and everyone wanted to come and see her."

The person who said this was the old man from the Jingzhao Du family.

Of course, anyone who can stand here, not to mention in Chang'an, even in the entire Tang Dynasty, is a person who can shake the world with just a stomp of his feet.

Seeing the old man from the Du family, Empress Changsun smiled.

Du Ruhui comes from the Jingzhao Du family. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Du He of the Du family is now helping his son guard the east gate of the Ming Dynasty.

That is why the old man from the Du family dared to say this.

Of course, Empress Changsun did not appreciate this favor.

Your Du family has people like Du He, but don’t forget that there are also guys like Du Chuke.

Thinking of this, Empress Chang Sun suddenly sneered, "Humph, there are so many people in Chang'an who hate me for not dying. Behind my back, there are many people who call me an old immortal!
There may be many of you who wish I had died in the previous assassination attempt!"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"

Hearing Chang Sun's aggressive words, everyone was shocked and bowed in unison.

How could they have imagined that the queen, who had always been the most virtuous, would say such vicious words. Wasn't this just putting them on the fire?
"Don't dare?" Chang Sun did not intend to let them go, and he even sneered and said, "Then I want to ask, who are those spies outside the East Palace?

I left the palace today only to pay tribute to my deceased mother and did not inform anyone. How did you get the news?
Do you really think that I am a woman and can be easily bullied? "

Chang Sun has always had a mild temper and rarely gets angry in front of others, but that doesn't mean that Chang Sun is an easy-going person. At this moment, when he got angry, everyone dared not say a word.

How could they have imagined that Chang Sun would refute them from this point of view?

You know, the spies they placed outside the East Palace were not there to monitor anyone, they just wanted to wait for Changsun to leave the palace so that they could find out.

However, if this kind of thing is really brought up and discussed openly, it is indeed taboo.

What do you want to do as a minister by monitoring the whereabouts of your master?

But the problem is that no one has ever brought this kind of thing to light before...

At this point, everyone was embarrassed and knew nothing could be said.

On the side, Li Xiaogong watched all this with his head down and kept silent. Just now, someone in the crowd winked at him, but he pretended not to see it.

What a joke, going to offend your eldest grandson at this time?

That's not making yourself unhappy...

On the other side, Fang Yiai was watching with great interest, even though the Queen looked quite scary at the moment.

But it's not aimed at him, so what is he afraid of?
In other words, he knew that this was in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would have been eager to call his friends to come and watch the fun.

"What?" Seeing that no one was talking, Empress Chang Sun snorted coldly, "You don't even want to quibble now?"

Hearing this, everyone became even more confused...

They finally realized what it meant to not reason with women.

At this moment, everyone felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly and couldn't even speak.

In the end, they didn't know how they left the Duke of Qi's Mansion, and everyone had a look of panic on their face.

After they left, Li Xiaogong also took his leave. People said that today was the day to commemorate his deceased mother, and as an outsider, it would not be convenient for him to stay.

After they left, Chang Sun Chong asked in a low voice, "Aunt, what is their intention in coming to visit today?"

Hearing what Changsun Chong said, Empress Changsun smiled. She was of course not really angry.

It's not worth getting angry with them over such a small matter.

"No intention." Chang Sun smiled, "It's just to test me. Of course, I also want to see what I am like."

Chang Sun really knew exactly what those guys wanted to do.

To be honest, those guys may not be that bad, they just have different stances.

"Then will they..."

Before Chang Sun Chong could finish his words, Empress Chang Sun waved her hand and said, "It's okay. They are all smart people and they know what to do."

Her efforts today were not in vain. Even if those guys didn't come, she wouldn't worry.

Don't forget what she said before those guys came.

There are scouts outside the East Palace, let alone this leaky Duke Qi's Mansion?
It is no exaggeration to say that among the wealthy families in Chang'an City, there are always a few people with ulterior motives.
Not to mention others, Li Er didn't know how many he had planted...

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Today is your grandmother's memorial day, and it's time to get down to business." Having said that, the eldest grandson waved his hand and told him to rush off to make preparations.

But just as Changsun was paying tribute to his deceased mother, the city of Chang'an was in turmoil.

There was no way. The noise made by the eldest grandson was too scary for some people in the wealthy families.

Almost at the same time, several families called back their family members who were away.

There was no way out. Chang Sun's words put too much pressure on them.

As long as Changsun is still alive, anyone who dares to seize Li Chengqian's position as the Eastern Palace must think twice.

In the original history, Changsun died early, otherwise, Li Chengqian’s position as crown prince would not have been lost so easily.

This is the power that belongs only to the eldest grandson.

In the Duke of Qi's mansion, after Empress Changsun left, Changsun Chong did not follow her back to the Eastern Palace.

It was a rare opportunity for him to go home, and today was his grandmother's memorial day, so it would make sense for him to stay at home for a night.

At this moment, Chang Sun Chong's brothers were all in the hall.

Without Empress Changsun present, Changsun Chong had some of the authority of an older brother.

Looking at his brothers, he said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you do on weekdays, and I don't care what you want to do, but remember one thing, our surname is the same as your aunt's surname.

If you can't even tell who is your family, then if something happens in the future, don't ask the wrong person for help."

Chang Sun Chong had actually heard some rumors about his brothers, which was normal.

Even if we are a family, there is only one title, who wouldn't have some desire for it?
In addition, Changsun Chong has not been in Chang'an for a long time, and now holds a high position in the Ming Dynasty. He may not be interested in his current title.

"Don't worry, brother." Zhang Sunhuan heard this and said with a smile, "How could we not know this truth? But what about Auntie's behavior today?"

I had been resting for a long time due to personal reasons, and now I'm still recuperating. I can barely resume updating. I guess I may need one day off every week. I said at the beginning that I won't rest, so you can rest assured.
