Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 247 Xiao Yu
The fact that Li Daoyu became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice soon became known to everyone. Li Chengqian was not surprised, and everything was on the original track.

"Lang Jun! Song Guogong Xiao Yu begs to see him!" Wang Quan reported to Li Chengqian!
"Song Guogong Xiao Yu? Why did he come to see the widow?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.

Xiao Yu is the crown prince's Taibao, who ranks among the three princes. Although he is an official of the East Palace, he is indeed a temporary official.

On weekdays, he would come to the East Palace to teach the prince only on certain days, and would not appear in the East Palace at other times.

Xiao Yu belonged to the royal family of Nanliang, the eldest brother-in-law of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, the uncle of the Sui Dynasty, and a cousin of the Li family.

Counting from Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, Xiao Yu's wife Dugu Shi is the niece of Queen Dugu's natal family, and Xiao Yu is also Li Yuan's cousin-in-law.

In terms of seniority, Xiao Yu was also Li Chengqian's grandfather, and in private he still had to call him cousin.

Xiao Yu is a strict and rigid person, upright and upright, but he has a good literary talent, and he will piss off people when he disagrees with him, and even smoke the other party's seven orifices.

To put it bluntly, this guy doesn't know how to be a human being, he doesn't have a high EQ, and he is a one-sided master, all because of his background.

Xiao Yu was the prince of Nanliang when he was young, and he was cared for by his parents. No one dared to disobey him. He said whatever he thought of, never caring about other people's feelings.

Later, he became the uncle of the Sui Dynasty. In terms of status, he really didn't put other people in his eyes. In addition, the current emperor is his wife's cousin.

At the beginning, even the brother-in-law Yang Guang who had a good relationship didn't pay attention to him, and he hated him as much as he wanted. Yang Guang was angry and demoted him to Chihe to be the prefect.

Xiao Yu has always been concise and straightforward in his speech in the court, and he has repeatedly disobeyed the holy will, and even disagreed with his colleagues, so that he became a minister six times and was dismissed six times.

Xiao Yu was an alternative in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The last time he was dismissed was because he said in front of Li Er that Fang Xuanling might form a party for personal gain.

This was originally Xiao Yu's words from the bottom of his heart. After all, he just had something to say, and he didn't specifically target anyone.

But it didn't sound like that to Li Er, maybe Li Er was also tired of this uncle with low emotional intelligence, so he took the opportunity to dismiss his prime minister.

Compared with Wei Zheng, who is also upright, Wei Zheng is much better at being a man than Xiao Yu!
Li Chengqian didn't dare to be negligent, he got up and went directly to greet Xiao Yu, he didn't dare to make any show in front of Xiao Yu, lest Xiao Yu would scold him as soon as he came up, making him spit all over his face.

With Xiao Yu's temperament that even the emperor dared to yell at the prince, it was not as simple as eating and drinking, it was simply a trivial matter of sprinkling water.

When Li Chengqian came outside, he saw a white-haired old man in his 70s with his back turned to him, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with a sad expression on his face.

He is Song Guogong Xiao Yu.

It seems that this guy has been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and he has to play it by ear later, so as not to be suspicious of life by him, that would be bad!
"Cousin and grandfather!" Li Chengqian shouted.

Xiao Yu turned around, with a gloomy expression on his face, and said leisurely: "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Excuse me! Cousin and grandfather don't stand outside, please come inside!" Li Chengqian said.

Xiao Yu and Li Chengqian walked in together, Li Chengqian returned to the main seat to do the work, Xiao Yu sat in the first place on the right hand side.

Wang Quan immediately asked the maid to serve tea to Xiao Yu. After the tea was served, the maid stepped aside to serve. After the prince and Xiao Yu finished drinking, they would add tea to Xiao Yu and the prince at any time.

"My aunt and grandfather are usually busy with business! Why are you free to come to my East Palace today?" Li Chengqian asked.

Although the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were high-ranking officials, they were not powerful. In order to be able to centralize power, the power of the prime ministers was no longer concentrated on one person in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

After the evolution of the past dynasties, the power of the prime minister has already been divided.

But even so, there are still many things that the prime minister needs to do.

"The old minister came this time to bid farewell to His Highness, and His Majesty dismissed the old minister from the post of Prince Taibao." Xiao Yu said with a depressed expression.

Today when he went to see Li Er, he never expected that Li Er would dismiss him from office again. Didn't he just tell him to be careful that Fang Xuanling will form a clique for personal gain?

As for being so heartless!Anyway, he, Xiao Yu, has also contributed his whole life to Datang, so I won't say how much credit he has.

But you wouldn't be so heartless, depriving him of Xiao Yu's title and fiefdom!Even if it is deprived, how can he be demoted from the capital.

Li Chengqian obviously didn't turn the corner. Even if Xiao Yu was dismissed from the position of Prince and Taibao, there was no need to be so disheartened.

After all, you are still a special student, a third-rank member of the Tongzhongshu sect, you are still the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and you are still in a high position. Does a prince and Taibao make you so sad and indignant?

Li Chengqian really couldn't figure it out.

"It's a pity that I can no longer listen to my cousin and grandfather's earnest teachings! But why is my cousin and grandfather so sad? You are just a prince and a protector!"

"Perhaps the father was considerate of the old age of the cousin and grandfather, and he didn't want you to work too hard, so he relieved you from the post of the crown prince." Li Chengqian reassured.

"The crown prince doesn't need to comfort the old minister. The old minister may not take the title of prince and grand protector to heart."

"This time, His Majesty not only dismissed the old minister from the position of Prince Taibao, but also removed all the senior officials' positions in the court, exempted the veteran from the title of knighthood, and demoted the veteran from the capital to serve as the governor of Shangzhou." Xiao Yu finished in one breath. .

Li Chengqian was completely stunned, it turned out that this happened for a while, no wonder he was not happy at all, the problem turned out to be in this.

"This... What is the reason why the emperor punished you like this?" Li Chengqian said.

"Alas! Today, when the old minister spoke to His Majesty, His Majesty was angered instead, and that's why he ended up in this situation." Xiao Yu sighed.

After what Xiao Yu said, Li Chengqian knew why Xiao Yu was demoted from Chang'an by Li Er.

"What exactly did you tell Father?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The old minister said to His Majesty that Fang Xuanling often formed a party with the Zhongshu and the ministers of the school for personal gain. He might be disloyal to the emperor and insist on holding power. His Majesty was kept in the dark, but he had not yet rebelled. The old minister suggested that His Majesty be careful. Be careful." Xiao Yu said.

"Father thinks that what you said is too much! So I reprimand you, but it will not remove your title, so I will demote you from Chang'an!" Li Chengqian said.

If that was the case, Li Er wouldn't be so petty to demote Xiao Yu to other places.

It was mainly because of Xiao Yu's character that led to his today's result. Li Er endured him for so many years, and finally had such a result when he broke out at once this time.

The incident with Fang Xuanling was just a trigger.

Li Chengqian understood this in his heart, but Xiao Yu didn't understand it at all, and only felt that he was very wronged.
