In the Chengqing Hall, Taizong was watching the report sent from Yanzhou. Below, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cen Wenwen, and Li Ke and Li Tai, the two princes, stretched their heads and couldn't help looking at Taizong's face. Looking around, I saw that Taizong was shocked first, then showed joy on his face, and then laughed out loud.

"Good! Good! Good!" Taizong said three good words in succession, "Chengqian has grown up, and he can finally relieve the country's worries. This job is well done, well done!"

Everyone was puzzled. When Taizong saw it, he handed down the report in his hand, and everyone circulated it. At this moment, Taizong's face was full of the pride of a father for his son. Collected enough 20 dans of grain and [-] dans of money to redeem the [-] people in Suizhou, but he didn't want Chengqian to use only [-] dans of food and [-] dans of money to withdraw the troops Xieli bought. , Well done, well done!"

Changsun Wuji also read the report at this time, and his heart was also ecstatic. He has always been a firm princeling, but although Li Chengqian is smart, he is too cowardly, and the power of the King of Shu and the King of Wei is really strong. Not small, aggressive, he always wanted to let Li Chengqian do a few earth-shattering events, so as to change Taizong's impression of Li Chengqian. This time Li Chengqian took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Turkic. Worried, he only thought that Li Chengqian would come back safely, but he never expected that Li Chengqian would handle things so beautifully.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, if the state has such a crown prince, I will have no worries in the Tang Dynasty forever!"

Taizong also sighed in his heart at this time. The father all hoped that his son would become the best. Although he made Li Chengqian the crown prince at the beginning, Li Chengqian was really too mediocre. If it weren't for Li Chengqian's filial piety, the position of crown prince might have been shaken However, he never thought that Li Chengqian would be able to win all the merits this time. This surprised Taizong, but he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"Auxiliary machine! This depends more on your usual teachings!"

The eldest grandson Wuji wept and said: "I dare not bow, the prince is very good in the first place, but there is no chance to show himself, this time your majesty can give the prince a chance to make contributions, the old minister thanked your majesty on behalf of the prince!"

Cen Wenwen was at the side, watching the duo acting, he couldn't help but look at the King of Shu. If Li Ke didn't make a statement at this moment, the impression in Emperor Taizong's heart would be greatly reduced again, but Li Ke seemed to have nothing. Seeing the same, just looking up at the sky.

Cen Wenwen sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to go out to play and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Your Majesty the Crown Prince has made great contributions to the country, and I beg you to reward him generously."

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard the words, he knew exactly what the courtiers were doing, he knew that this Cen Wenwen was the mastermind of Li Ke, King of Shu, and now he actually came to ask for reward for Li Chengqian, which really surprised him.

"Oh! Text! Then how do you think I should reward the prince!?"

Cen Wenwen said: "His Royal Highness is currently entrusted with only a thousand households. Now that he has made such great achievements, I ask His Majesty to grant another thousand households to honor His Royal Highness's achievements."

Taizong couldn't help hesitating when he heard the words, thought for a moment and said, "How about sealing five hundred households first!"

Just as Changsun Wuji was about to speak, Cen Wenwen preempted him and said, "Your Majesty! The crown prince has made such great contributions to the country. Does Your Majesty still begrudge the reward of five hundred households?"

Taizong heard the words, but he really had nothing to say, and said: "Since this is the case, I will rely on Aiqing! Text! Your writing is good, hurry up and draft an edict. The crown prince Li Chengqian has made great contributions to the state, and he will be granted the title of a thousand households!" "

"My Emperor Shengming!"

After the dynasty was over, Li Ke was losing his temper to Cen Wenwen in the Palace of the King of Shu: "Sir, are you going to leave me now? I can't wait to ask for credit for the new master."

Cen Wenwen listened to Li Ke's accusation, but his expression did not change at all: "Your Highness, I have made a mistake!"

Li Ke said angrily: "It's wrong to blame you, then why do you ask for a reward for Li Chengqian? I'm afraid the people in the East Palace will be even more proud now!"

Cen Wenwen said: "The minister's intention to ask for rewards for the prince cannot be hidden from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, nor can it be hidden from the current emperor, but it has been hidden from His Highness."

Li Ke was taken aback, and said, "How do you say that!?"

Cen Wenwen said: "As the saying goes, it is extremely peaceful. The purpose of this minister is to roast the prince on the fire. His Highness the prince changed the holy intention privately. Although it is a good thing, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Now it is even more serious. A feudal city with a thousand households is bound to be proud and complacent. Just imagine, Your Highness, would the Holy Majesty tolerate such a capable son? He would definitely be suspicious of the crown prince, and then the rift between the Holy Majesty and the East Palace would naturally arise."

Li Ke suddenly realized when he heard the words, and hurriedly apologized to Cen Wenwen.

Taizong's edict on the reward has been announced to the world, and Du Rui already knew it. He learned from Princess Ankang who came to learn the music that Li Chengqian's reward was actually obtained by Cen Wenwen on his behalf. He immediately understood Cen Wenwen's intention .

"This person has a bad heart!"

When Ankang heard this, he was surprised and said: "Now the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty say that the elder brother of the crown prince deserves such a reward. Why do you say that Mr. Cen has a bad heart? I think you are the one who has a bad heart!"

Hearing this, Du Rui laughed and told Cen Wenwen's strategy. Ankang was shocked when he heard this: "What should I do, the prince brother is usually the closest to me, no way! I have to go back to the palace to tell my father the emperor !"

Du Rui hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is no need to go. I can guess that the Holy Majesty is wise. Why doesn't he know Cen Wenwen's intentions? He just wants to see how the prince will react! Although Cen Wenwen is good at calculating, he still treats the Holy Majesty with respect." I don't quite understand, which parents don't want their children to be successful, not to mention that this son is destined to become his heir, if the other kings, it's fine. This kind of tactics is used against the prince, but Master Cen is in the middle of the game, and the two leaves are blinding, and now the Holy Majesty may have a grudge against Lord Cen and His Highness the King of Shu."

Hearing this, Ankang felt uneasy, and said: "This is not going to work, if the elder brother of the crown prince fails to understand the truth, it will be troublesome!"

"It's okay!" Du Rui called Du Pingsheng in after thinking about it, wrote a letter to him, and said, "Go quickly to meet His Royal Highness, and hand this letter to the Prince, you must not lose it. "

Although Du Pingsheng was naughty, he also knew the importance of this letter, so he nodded and left.

At this time, Taizong's edict of awarding rewards had already arrived in Li Chengqian's hands. Li Chengqian was naturally elated when he received the edict. Nothing is more important than a word of affirmation from the parents.

When approaching Shang County, Du Pingsheng finally came up to meet him. Seeing his brother coming, Du Pingyuan rushed forward to meet him and asked, "Second brother! Why are you here?"

Du Pingyuan had been traveling overnight for the past few days, afraid of delaying Du Rui's important affairs, seeing his elder brother at this time, he finally let go of his worries, and hurriedly said: "In the name of the young master, I will transfer the letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! "

Du Pingsheng heard the words, knew that the matter was urgent, and did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly took Du Pingyuan to see Li Chengqian, and sealed the letter as a reward. After Li Chengqian read it, a puzzled look appeared on his face, but he soon understood, and sighed With a voice: "Chengming treats the lonely like this, and helps him wholeheartedly, and he will be rewarded in the future!"
