Chastity Layman

  Chapter 950 Wake up

  At the end of the court meeting, Li Shimin waved his sleeves and left.

All the ministers slowly exited the hall, Prince Chengqian knelt there with a pale face and did not move, while Li Tai, the king of Wei who had just been conferred the title of General Zuo Wuhou, Henan Mu, envoy and governor of the seven prefectures' military affairs, was fat and white. On his face, there was an irrepressible look of joy.

  Qin Lang stopped in front of Cheng Qian.

   "Your Highness, the court meeting is over, please return to the East Palace."

  Chengqian gritted his teeth, "Is this what Saburo wants to see?"

  Qin Lang shook his head, "Why did Your Highness say that?"

  The young prince asked, "Since Sanlang left alone, why should he stay and act hypocritically? Shouldn't he catch up with the Four Worthy Kings at this moment and show his courtesy by his side?"

   "Your Highness, be careful with your words."

Cheng Qian was annoyed, and even disregarded the occasion, directly angrily said to Qin Lang, "Isn't it? You suddenly resigned from the position of Prince Zhan to Fang Xuanling, and then gave him the prince and grand teacher. This is not Shegu and go?"

Qin Lang squinted his eyes, and really wanted to slap him. Now that things are up to now, he still can't tell the situation. He wonders where the smart and sensible prince has gone. In the past few years, Cheng Qian has been patronizing women who sleep every day. up?

"If your highness can't tell who is an enemy and who is a friend, if you don't even have the slightest composure to become a mansion, then I advise your highness to simply ask the sage to go to the prince, or else, just like you, you will never be able to defend yourself." If you live in the position of prince, why don't you just let it go and become a rich and idle king. From then on, you can pet whoever you want, go hunting if you want, and no one will stop you if you want to listen to music and dance, so don't worry. ?”

"Chengqian, I just want to say a few words to you today. Where did the modest and polite Prince Chengqian go from the admonishment? You are only eighteen years old, and now you can't tell the good from the bad? Me and Mr. Changsun is dedicated to you, but now you dislike us, we are not human inside and out? Look at your two brothers, Wei Wangtai and Wu Wangke, and see what they do."

"Corporal courteous, treating guests well, who would act so unscrupulously like you? Although you are a prince, don't forget that you are only a prince. A prince may not necessarily become an emperor. You have to be clear about this, you don't Work hard, others will naturally work hard, you don't cherish it, but others are looking forward to it, don't wait until the future to regret it."

   Chengqian's eyes were red, "I have worked so hard to be a good prince these years, listen to the words of the saints, listen to your words, and listen to the words of the East Palace teachers. Now I only have a little request, am I going too far?"

"Excessive, very excessive. When you score points, it depends on the occasion. The concubine married by the saint for you, you started to divorce your wife less than a year after you got married. Even now you are still making trouble during Gao Guoguo's funeral. Now there are people Said that you have been drinking with Pei Hou's second concubine recently, and even let the actress play and sing, do you know how serious your behavior is? The saint will bear with you, but there will be a limit to this patience."

   "When the sage has accumulated enough disappointment, and when your brothers actively perform to make the sage more and more satisfied, your position will be in jeopardy!"

"I'm not talking about you. If you can't even handle such a small matter, you are not worthy of being the prince of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Do you know why your father can lead the Tang Dynasty so strong? Why is it that in the ninth year of Wude, hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry were able to drink horses from the Weihe River and marched to Chang'an, but a few years later, our Tang Dynasty was able to go out of the fortress with six armies, capture Xieli alive in one fell swoop, and destroy the Eastern Turks? This is all because Your father's hard work, he started his army at the age of sixteen to fight with Gaozu, and fought for ten years. When he sat on the throne of the emperor, he didn't have much experience in governing the world, but he was able to follow advice like a stream, accept advice with an open mind, and correct his mistakes .Your father also made many mistakes and took many detours, but he could correct them in time. Wei Zheng often sprayed his saliva on your father's face, and your father once shouted angrily to kill Wei Zheng, but in fact, he has been using Wei Zheng all the time, all the way up to the prime minister."

"To be a saint, you have to restrain your selfish desires, so that you can achieve extraordinary things. You are young now, and it is normal to be obsessed with wine and sex, but you have to wake up, you can't be addicted to it all the time, you have to grasp this degree. You can't just listen to everything Listen to the words of the woman next to your pillow, listen to the words of the actors and eunuchs, although these are the people close to you, but they are smarter than the prime ministers, ministers, and famous teachers of Confucianism?"

Qin Lang had already accumulated a lot of disappointment with Cheng Qian, so he would just say it outright, he was always concerned about his identity, but in the end he didn't take it seriously, and even said that Qin Lang wanted to give up on him. Li Tai was talking nonsense.

   Chengqian was so annoyed by what he said, he has been used to the feeling of being high above the stars for many years.

   "Qin Lang, you are a minister and I am a king, don't make a mistake!"

"Chengqian, I don't care about that anymore today, I just tell you with the feeling of acquaintance for ten years, I really don't want to do it any more, if I get lost as soon as possible, there is no big mistake, and the saint will be very relieved What you have corrected, your future is still bright. But if you continue like this, I can only sigh."

Qin Lang could not help but sigh as he spoke, "Chengqian, listen to my advice. Although you have been in contact with government affairs in the past few years, and even let you take charge of Yongzhou affairs, you can be regarded as having power, but your power has no foundation. Your All this is given by the sage, and he can give it to you and take it back at any time. So don’t always go against the sage, you don’t like Su, what’s the big deal? If Hou and Pei are really for you Well, they shouldn't make waves, let alone think about the position of Crown Princess and Crown Prince Liangdi, but want to bury you for their own selfish desires, is this for your own good?"

"These people are selfish. They are pushing you into the fire pit. On the contrary, it is Mrs. Su, His Highness treats her like this, but have they ever complained? Have you ever made a fuss in front of the saint and the queen, right? Crown Princess You always protect His Highness's face and don't cause trouble for His Highness, but His Highness can't tell who is really good and who is really bad?"

   "Don't be confused by the appearance of that skin, and don't turn against your father because of these, this is unfilial and unfaithful, and it is stupid!"

"Chengqian, think about what I said carefully. The saint's decision just now is already a stern warning to you, and it is also an opportunity for you to observe. Don't screw up again. The saint is going to Luoyang, and you should correct it in Chang'an." , Prove with practical actions that you are more qualified to be the heir than Wei Wang Li Tai and Wu Wang Li Ke, whether it is based on the theory of succession or ability, understand?"

  Qin Lang turned around.

After walking a few steps and then paused, he didn't look back, and stood there with his back to Chengqian, "I have been with you for ten years, and I have always regarded you as a friend, so I will give you another friend's advice. If you don't want your majesty to Completely disappointed, please treat Mrs. Su kindly, and don't mention any more reconciliation. Also, you'd better let Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Hou go to Luoyang with the queen, and let them serve the queen to show their filial piety. And Mrs. Hou The child in the womb has a bad reputation after all, let the empress decide how to arrange it, and serve as a congenital child, so maybe it can be adopted by one of your brothers who died young."

   "That's all for now, it's up to His Highness to listen or not, and we have done what we have to do."

   "The minister will leave first!"

  Qin Lang walked out of the hall, not knowing whether this aggressive method worked, but facing Cheng Qian, he couldn't beat him, so he could only say that.

  Outside the hall, Changsun Wuji was waiting for him.

"The rotten wood can't be carved!" Changsun Wuji looked into the hall and sighed, and then turned his eyes to show murderousness, "Fang Xuanling is determined to eat weights, since we don't want to eat wine, we can't do it anymore. Be polite to him, you have to get rid of him."

  Letting Xiao Yu take action is just a way to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, or even drive away the tiger and devour the wolf.

  But Fang Xuanling was not shocked, but Xiao Yu went to the field, but Xiao Yu's resignation was actually expected for Changsun Wuji, and he wanted to kill two birds with one stone. After all, Xiao Laopao belonged to Li Ke.

  Qin Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky.

"Let's put the flag to rest for the time being. Hasn't Mr. Grandson noticed the saint's attitude today? The saint is very clear about all this. The saint is very dissatisfied with this kind of party struggle. Cheng Qian has already been punished, Fang Xuan But Ling was appeased, if we do it again, it won't just be Xiao Yu who is a young bird who gets beaten like this time, but will be severely investigated all the time, and the board may even fall on Cheng Qian."

   "Let's calm down first, and give the prince some time to think calmly. Let Wei Zheng accompany him to play in Chang'an first, and see if Wei Tongzi can discipline the prince."

Changsun Wuji was not hopeful, "Although Wei Zheng can spray, he only sprays for the sake of spraying. He is not Chengqian's person, and he will not save face for Chengqian. I am afraid that he is worse than Chu Suiliang, Kong Yingda, Zhang Xingben and others." It will make Chengqian dissatisfied, and I'm afraid that the more he sprays, the more he will anger Chengqian, which will be counterproductive."

   "Without a sage watching over him, I'm afraid that staying in Chang'an will make him even more helpless. When the wind blows by Hou Pei's pillow, he won't know the heights of the heavens and the earth."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "About the Pei family and Hou family, I told the crown prince just now, and asked the crown prince to send two people to accompany the queen to do his best for him, and go to Luoyang together. The grandson went back and explained to the queen, It is also for the benefit of the prince to ask the empress to speak to the prince, I believe the empress can understand, and she should help with this."

  Changsun Wuji didn't expect this, and couldn't help applauding, "It's a good idea to take the bottom out of the pot. Transferring these two foxes will indeed save a lot of trouble. I'll go see the queen right away."

   Thinking of Wei Zheng staying in Chang'an to assist Cheng Qian, he was worried. He stopped and said, "I've thought about it, but I'm still worried about letting Wei Zheng stay alone to assist Chengqian. Either I stay or you stay. We have to leave one person to watch, or we're afraid that something will happen again. A catastrophe is coming. Now I have ten thousand worries about Chengqian, not at ease."

   "It depends on the will of the sage." Qin Lang didn't have much intention to stay.
