Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 518 Jiang Yan
"Everyone! King Wu is dead!" Li Chengqian had just returned to the Zichen Palace after the morning court, and just after he had rested, an eunuch came to report.

In the end, Li Ke, the king of Wu, still couldn't make it through, and passed away today.

"When did it happen?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Not long ago, the news came from Wu Wang's residence that Wu Wang Li Ke passed away this morning." The eunuch said.

"I know!" Li Chengqian waved his hand to let the eunuch back down.

The eunuch bowed and retreated.

Wang Quan stepped forward to comfort and said, "Everyone! My condolences are changing!"

"He still walked ahead of me in the end, Wang Quan." Li Chengqian said sadly, he and Li Ke have a good relationship!
"The servant is here!" Wang Quan replied.

"Chuan Zhao, Wu Wang Li Ke passed away. I am very sad. I posthumously present Sikong, the governor of Yangzhou, and give him a posthumous title. He will be buried in Zhaoling." Li Chengqian said.

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the order to step back and pass on the emperor's edict.

Seven days later, Li Ke was buried next to Zhaoling.

……

"Everyone! Deputy Prince Youwei led Jiang Yan to see him!" the eunuch saluted Li Chengqian.

"Prince Right Guard Deputy Commander Jiang Yan, what does he need to see me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"This servant doesn't know." The eunuch said.

"Maybe it has something to do with the prince, why don't you call him in and ask him?" Wang Quan said.

"The crown prince has done something wrong again, people have come to me to complain!" Li Chengqian said dissatisfiedly, can't the crown prince let him save some time?
"Maybe it's a good thing? Everyone should call someone in and ask if they know!" Wang Quan said with a smile.

"Alright! Xuan Jiangyan comes in." Li Chengqian said.

"Promise!" The eunuch took the order, turned around and shouted to the outside: "Prince Xuan's right guard led Jiang Yan to see him!"

Jiang Yan heard the summon and hurried in.

"The deputy leader of the Crown Prince, Youwei, Jiang Yan, pays homage to His Majesty!" Jiang Yan knelt down in the tunnel.

"You didn't stay in the East Palace well, how did you come here, but what did the crown prince do? You came here specially to complain?" Li Chengqian asked.

"This matter has nothing to do with the crown prince. I am here this time to sue the crown prince Xi Ma Tian You Yan." Jiang Yan said.

Li Chengqian was taken aback after hearing this!
What the hell did Tian Youyan do?Why do the people around the prince come to me to complain, he is a famous person.

Besides, Tian Youyan's knowledge and morals are all right, and he is still the top choice, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"What happened to Tian Youyan? You didn't tell the prince, but you came here to complain to me. What made you do this, or was it ordered by someone?" Li Chengqian asked.

The implication of these words is that he does not believe that Tian Youyan will do anything out of the ordinary. Jiang Yan may have been instigated by someone to frame Tian Youyan when he came here today.

The first person Li Chengqian thought of was Prince Li Jue. If that was the case, Li Chengqian would be very disappointed in the prince.

"No one instructed the envoy, it was the minister himself who came to sue Tian Youyan to His Majesty." Jiang Yan said.

"Do you know what you're talking about? You know what the consequences will be if you slander the court officials at will." Li Chengqian said.

"I understand! This time, I want to sue Tian Youyan for washing horses for the prince, and he has no benefit to persuade the prince in the East Palace." Jiang Yan said.

"Is this true?" Li Chengqian said.

"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can call Tian Youyan, and I will confront him face to face, and then I will know whether what I said is true." Jiang Yan said.

"Come here, Prince Xi Ma Tian Youyan, a scholar of Xuanchong Wenguan, came to see me." Li Chengqian said, thinking over and over again, he felt that what Jiang Yan said was not unreasonable, let alone calling Tian Youyan to confront him.

"No!" a eunuch replied.

The eunuch had been gone for a long time, and Li Chengqian got impatient with the wait, so they arrived late.

"Chen Tian Youyan pays homage to His Majesty!" Tian Youyan saluted Li Chengqian.

"Tian Youyan, why did you come here now?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I just finished my training, so I came here in a hurry, so I am late, please forgive me!" Tian Youyan said.

Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Prince Youwei deputy led Jiang Yan to sue you for not persuading and benefiting the prince, is there such a thing?"

Tian Youyan said: "I don't know!"

"How could you not know? Ever since you came to the East Palace, have you advised the prince's behavior?" Jiang Yan asked.

Tian Youyan remained silent.

"With one step, you enjoy Hechao, Youzhuo's integrity, the Holy Lord of Aotang and Yu, and your reputation is resounding all over the world, and it is well known all over the world."

"The lord bends the weight of ten thousand times, affirms the honor of three visits, meets the son as a guest of Shangshan, treats the son with the courtesy of not being a minister, and will be a counselor. I hope to be able to contact you for a long time and gradually be influenced by you. Raise a glass to the same noble virtues as you."

"The crown prince was in the prime of his life in spring and autumn, and the way of sages and sages has never been comprehensive. Although I am not talented, I dare to advise your majesty. It is a good time to be protected by one step, but you didn't say anything. You are simply wasting it like this." time."

"If you don't pay the court's salary, how dare I say something more! The court treats your family members preferentially, how will you repay the court's kindness? No matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out." Jiang Yan said .

Tian Youyan opened his mouth, but was speechless by Jiang Yan's words, and didn't know what to say.

"Tian Youyan, is what Jiang Yan said true?" Li Chengqian asked.

"No half of the sentence is false. I am devoted to Taoism. I have no intention of official affairs, and I can't assist the prince. I also ask Your Majesty to allow me to return to the mountains and devote myself to cultivating Taoism." Tian Youyan said.

Since he came to Chang'an, he really didn't do much in the East Palace, and he even rarely met the prince. He has always been practicing in his own place of residence.

If the emperor hadn't sent someone to call him today, he might not have left the place where he lived. He really didn't take on the important task of assisting the prince.

"Since you have made up your mind, and I will no longer force others to be difficult, then you can return to the mountains and concentrate on practicing!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian only thought of Tian Youyan's character, but ignored that he was a pious cultivator.

Tian Youyan is keen on cultivating Taoism, and has no intention of officialdom, let alone assisting the prince. This is Li Chengqian's dereliction of duty, so he does not blame Tian Youyan for his inaction.

"Thank you Your Majesty! Grace! I will take my leave!" Tian Youyan bowed and retreated, left Zichen Palace without looking back, returned to his residence to pack his luggage and left Chang'an, and returned to Shangshan to continue his practice.

For Jiang Yan, Li Chengqian also greatly appreciated him, and rewarded him with a lot of property, allowing him to stay in the East Palace and continue to monitor every move of the East Palace.

If anyone has any misconduct, or leads the prince in the wrong direction, he must report it in time, and Li Chengqian will naturally not treat him badly.
