Chapter 8 To Huayin

"If there is something to do, let's play! If there is nothing to do, we will retreat!" In the Tai Chi Hall, Wang Yuan's sharp voice sounded in the hall.

Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

Li Er got up and left. Following Wang Quan's announcement of retreating from the court, today's court meeting ended like this. Everyone left the Taiji Hall in small groups and went to work in their respective yamen.

Just as Li Chengqian walked out of the Tai Chi Hall and put on his shoes, Zhao Jie walked towards him.

In the past few days, apart from Li Chengqian going to test medicine for Li Er every day to show his filial piety, he returned to court and went to Chongxian Hall to study.

Fortunately, Li Er's illness recovered quickly, so Li Chengqian didn't have to continue testing the medicine.

"Prince!"

"I'm back, how are things going? Is Wang Fangyi here?" Li Chengqian asked.

Seeing Zhao Jie's complexion was not very good, he already guessed the result in his heart.

"Prince, that kid Wang Fangyi refuses your invitation, he doesn't want to come to Chang'an, he simply doesn't know what is good or bad." Zhao Jie said indignantly.

"Is it because you neglected him that he refused to come to my East Palace?" Li Chengqian said.

"You're wronged! Prince! I invited him with nice words, but even if he doesn't come, there's nothing I can do about it." Zhao Jie looked aggrieved. In order to complete the task assigned by the prince, he tried his best. It was almost time for Wang Fangyi to kneel down and call grandpa.

"Zhao Jie, tell me who wronged you." Du He walked towards them.

Du He was the husband of Princess Yangcheng, the sixteenth daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

He is Li Chengqian's brother-in-law, and together with Fang Xuanling, he is called Fangmou Duduan Du Ruhui's second son.

According to historical records, Du He was still rebellious and fearless when he was beheaded after Li Chengqian's treason case was exposed!Although he is a civil servant, he is a courageous person.

"Your Highness!" Du He saluted Li Chengqian.

"Tell me the situation at that time." Li Chengqian said.

"The thing is like this. At that time, according to your order, Prince, I went to Fengquan Villa to meet Wang Fangyi, and explained to him the purpose of my visit..."

Zhao Jie told Li Chengqian exactly what happened after he met Wang Fangyi, and he dared not be careless about what the crown prince told him.

No matter how humbly he begged the other party, Wang Fangyi was unmoved, and in the end Zhao Jie could only return without success.

Du He also pricked up his ears and listened, curious in his heart, who is this Wang Fangyi so sacred that the crown prince values ​​him so much.

At the same time, he was annoyed that Wang Fangyi was so ignorant that he dared to refuse the prince's recruitment. Who did he think Wang Fangyi was.

"...That's how it happened, Your Highness! I, Zhao Jie, am not lazy at all."

Zhao Jie was afraid that Li Chengqian would not believe him, so he almost cursed and swore.

"It's not your fault, you've done your best, I don't blame you." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he asked Du He again.

"Du He, why did you come to the palace?"

"Accompany the princess into the palace to meet His Majesty today!" Du He said.

"Then why did you run out without accompanying the princess?" Zhao Jie asked.

"Princess wants to whisper something to Your Majesty, it's not driving me out." Du He said helplessly.

"I want to go to Fengquan Villa in person, Du He, I'll leave it to you, my father's side." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness! This Wang Fangyi is too bold and reckless! Even if His Highness is recruited, he dares not come, and he has to trouble His Highness to go there personally. In my opinion, it is better to tie him up." Du He said.

"That's right! Your Highness! A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall! Du He and I will do the work, so why should His Highness go there?" Zhao Jie also felt that it was inappropriate for Li Chengqian to meet Wang Fangyi as a prince.

Although Wang Fangyi came from a prominent family, there is no need to bother the crown prince.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to go with me, you can stay in Chang'an, and I can go by myself." Li Chengqian said.

"Don't! Your Highness! I also want to see who this Wang Fangyi is! His Highness thinks so highly of him. He doesn't hesitate to condescend, so he wants to go there himself." Du He said.

"You've gone, what should you do if His Majesty asks?" Zhao Jie asked.

As the crown prince, the prince cannot leave the palace at will, let alone leave the capital Chang'an. Once the prince Li Chengqian leaves Chang'an privately, someone will report to Li Er immediately.

Maybe it will be read by the officials, and it will be tongue-tied, and Wei Wang and his gang will seize the opportunity to make trouble.

If one is not good, it may be pulled down from the position of prince.

Therefore, it is necessary to report to Li Er and get his permission, so that Li Chengqian can leave Chang'an without any scruples.

"Your Highness, don't worry! I have my own way. I also ask the prince to wait for a while, and I will go to ask His Majesty for leave!" Du He said.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Okay! Hurry up and go back!"

Du He is Li Chengqian's little brain truster, taking Du He with him can help him come up with ideas, and attracting Wang Fangyi will increase his chances by a few percent.

"Your Highness! I don't know where we are going?" Du He asked Li Chengqian, he still didn't know where he was going after leaving Chang'an.

Li Chengqian blushed suddenly. He only knew that Wang Fangyi and his son moved to Fengquan Villa after being kicked out of the house by Princess Tong'an, but he really didn't know the exact location.

"I really don't know about this, you have to ask Zhao Jie about this, he has been there, he knows it!" Li Chengqian said.

In this way, Du He became more interested in this Wang Fangyi, what a handsome man, the prince didn't even know where he lived, but he never forgot in his heart, he really should go and have a look.

Du He looked at Zhao Jie, and three words came out of Zhao Jie's mouth: "Huayin County."

"Huayin County? It's 260 miles away from Chang'an, and it can be reached in half a day. As far as I know, it seems that the former king's son-in-law has an old courtyard there. Back then, the concubine's mother and son of Princess Chang'an were expelled from the mansion by the princess. Their mother and son So I went back here to live in another courtyard, could it be that the person the crown prince is looking for this time is the grandson of Wang Yu's son-in-law?" Du He said.

"That's right! It's him." Zhao Jie said.

After Du He got an affirmative answer, he bowed to Li Chengqian and left without saying much.

After going there for about an hour, Du He came back.

As soon as Zhao Jie saw Du He came back, he asked: "How is it? Can Your Majesty agree to let the prince leave Chang'an City?"

"Of course, we can leave now! But the time can't be too long, we need to come back within five days." Du He said.

"Okay! It's not too late! Let's set off now, and go faster on horseback!" Li Chengqian said.

When Du He went to report to Li Er, Li Chengqian asked Wang Quan to prepare a few fast horses for them to ride.

Du He and Zhao Jie followed Li Chengqian out of the palace, rode on the fast horse that Wang Quan had prepared, and galloped out of Chang'an City.

After leaving Chang'an City, head towards Huayin County.

Not long after Li Chengqian and others left, someone reported to Wei Wang Li Tai that the prince had gone to Huayin County.
