I don’t know how Changsun Wuji lobbled, but Li Shimin agreed to go to see Li Chengqian’s steelmaking the next day. Naturally, all the other civil and military officials agreed to go with him.

After Li Chengqian found out, he ordered that Hao Chujun to lead his troops to guard the ironmaking workshop at night, and ordered the craftsmen to refine one furnace of iron and one furnace of steel at night, and the steel made directly into a plow.

The next morning, someone came to report that he had already cast fifty plows with great sharpness yesterday. Li Chengqian was relieved when he heard this and sent someone to send a petty horse to clean up the scene and wait for Li Shimin and all officials to go.

After all arrangements were taken, Li Chengqian had breakfast in a relaxed mood, brought his two sons, King Li Ke, King Shu Li Yan, and was guarded by Xue Rengui and Li Daliang to go out of Xuande Gate, and then went outside Xuanwu Gate to wait for Li Shimin to leave the palace.

Except for Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji, the other ministers of the Eastern Palace had already gone to the iron smelting workshop in advance to prepare for the welcome.

When Li Chengqian came to Xuanwu Gate, all the civil and military officials were already waiting here. Today, all the officials were wearing cycling uniforms. Seeing Li Chengqian and his son getting off the car, bowing and seeing him, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Everyone is calm!"

Then, Li Chengqian looked up at the Xuanwu Gate, which had five coups in history in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian had never walked through time. This was his most recent contact with Xuanwu Gate.

Li Chengqian didn't wait long before Li Shimin took Li Zhi and his entourage out of Xuanwu Gate on horseback.

Li Shimin, dressed in strong clothes, walked out of Xuanwu Gate and jumped off the BMW when he saw everyone. Li Chengqian hurriedly pulled his two sons forward to meet Li Shimin. When Li Shimin saw the two emperors, he laughed, picked up Li Jue and teased him for a few times, and said loudly to the officials who saluted him: "Today, I and all the ministers go to Chengqian's iron smelting workshop to see how the farm tools are created!"

"I will obey the order!" Just as the ministers responded, a discordant voice rang out.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince built a workshop to smelify iron during the farming season. Although it was for the purpose of building farm tools, there were some priorities. You also asked Your Majesty to order His Majesty to stop the iron workshop of the Crown Prince and let the farmers plant in the fields in spring. When the farming season is over this autumn, then arrange people to build farm tools for the coming year."

Li Shimin and all officials looked over and saw the person who spoke was Linghu Defen, the Imperial College Priest.

Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this and looked at him, guessing that Li Shimin didn't know that someone had impeached him, so he couldn't help but look at Changsun Wuji, and saw that he was also smiling at him.

He felt aroused his heart and said, "Yesterday, my uncle brought Linghu Jijiu's impeachment memorial to my son-in-law. After reading it, I asked my uncle what to do.

My uncle said: It was just a corrupt scholar and nonsense. I asked my son to invite my father and officials to go to see how to build agricultural tools in the iron smelting workshop so that they can gain a better understanding."

Li Chengqian did not raise his voice or lower his voice. He said this normally, and everyone at the scene heard it.

Li Shimin was displeased when he saw Li Chengqian. Although he was not sure whether Changsun Wuji had said such things, he believed that Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, framed people in public, was a very small sign, and was not the demeanor that a crown prince should have.

Changsun Wuji did not expect Li Chengqian to say this in front of so many people, and his original mood of watching the show was wiped out.

Looking at the officials looking at them, Changsun Wuji knew that if he didn't deal with it well today, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

I taught the prince to handle government affairs with my uncle's biological son Shaobao, but I actually taught the prince to refuse advice. I am afraid that tomorrow will not be there, someone will write a memorial to impeach me as a "villain" tonight.

He can't say that he hasn't said such things now. If he dares to say that he hasn't said it, I don't know how many secret pits that villain Li Chengqian has waiting for him.

However, Changsun Wuji was Changsun Wuji. Although he was in an extremely unfavorable situation, he hesitated and said calmly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been tired and thin in order to make agricultural tools these days in order to make steel, and people are tired and thin every day. The old minister sees it and hurts it in his heart.

There are also corrupt scholars who impeached the crown prince. The old minister was dissatisfied, so the prince said that the crown prince invited His Majesty and all the civil and military officials to see what His Highness did. This is not to refuse advice but to speak with facts."

Seeing Changsun Wuji's sincere feelings, Li Shimin was moved. He glanced at Li Chengqian and whispered: "The prince must have the prince's demeanor!" Then he turned around and laughed: "Today's spring is bright and I and the ministers are rarely seen. Let's go and see the prince's newly built iron smelting workshop. After seeing it, you can say whatever you should say!"

Then he lowered his head to Li Jue in his arms and said, "Jie'er and grandpa are riding a horse." He had already flew onto the horse without waiting for Li Jue to agree.

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all got on their horses one by one. Li Shimin looked back at Li Chengqian's black-topped horse carriage: "Chengqian sent someone to lead the way for me!"

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Zhi who had been following Li Shimin and said, "Let the third and sixth brothers lead the way for his father."

"Okay!" Li Shimin said and couldn't wait to run forward. King Li Ke of Wu and King Li Yan of Shu were busy following him.

Li Chengqian watched the civil and military officials and thousands of guards follow Li Shimin and take off the horses. As their horses' hooves pass by, bursts of white dust raised, and the horses' hooves like a forest galloping on a cloud.

He couldn't help but chant: "Broken hat and sable fur, thousands of riders rolled up the flat roof."

"What a poem!" Li Daliang's praise sounded next to him.

"General Li, let's go, Rengui, too!" The old ghost helped Li Chengqian into the carriage.

When Li Chengqian's carriage slowly came to the iron smelting workshop, Li Shimin and others had arrived for a while. Hao Chujun, who had not slept all night, was directing the craftsmen to smelify iron.

Li Shimin sat on the lounge chair that Li Chengqian usually sat on, and several close ministers stood beside him. Li Shimin watched them smelting iron while chatting with the ministers, and asked Li Jue a few words from time to time, which seemed very relaxed and comfortable.

Other civil and military officials were talking about some things, obviously they were not interested in this iron smelting.

Li Chengqian got out of the car and limped to Li Shimin with a crutch and said, "See Father!"

"Um!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was uttering, he said, so he turned around and asked Hao Chujun, "How long will it take for Mr. Hao to get molten iron?"

"It will take half an hour to go back to the crown prince!"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he walked from the shed to the other end of the shed with a crutch. He carefully checked every process and said a few words to the craftsmen who were smelting iron and preparing, and encouraged them not to be nervous as they were last night...

Many ministers disagree with Li Chengqian when he saw that he was so close to craftsmen.

"Hmph! The dignified prince actually lowered himself to talk to the craftsman. It's really inappropriate!" Linghu Defen snorted angrily when he saw it.

Zhang Wencong next to him also said sadly: "It seems that Brother Linghu's concerns are not unreasonable. His Royal Highness's article "The Master's Talk" said that the sages and doctors should learn from witch doctors and all craftsmen. It seems that it is not a general discussion now!"

"Let's go and see Your Majesty!" Linghu Defen could no longer hold it back when he heard this.

Some people who didn't like Li Chengqian's behavior in this way saw Linghu Defen walking towards Li Shimin with anger, and they all moved in front of Li Shimin.
