Chapter 157: How dare you make a bet with the lonely king

Li Shimin looked at the minister below with frost on his face. He didn't want to see him the least now, but how could he not summon Li Chengqian's Tai Chi Hall at this time?

The ministers below all looked at him, although in Li Shimin's view, Li Chengqian's actions were a mean and ungrateful king of the country.

Moreover, according to Jiang Xingben, Li Chengqian was the reincarnation of Qin Shihuang. The ministers in the palace were naturally afraid of Qin Shihuang's reincarnation, but I, Li Shimin, is also a generation of emperors, why are I afraid of Qin Shihuang?

Li Shimin's face flickered and dark, and needles fell in the hall were heard, and all officials were waiting for Li Shimin to make a decision. In fact, they were also different. First, most of the officials who had no conflicts with Li Chengqian and were not close to each other. These officials basically believed that Li Chengqian was a qualified crown prince.

Therefore, these officials did not care much about whether Li Chengqian was reincarnated by Qin Shihuang, so they did not believe that Li Chengqian was reincarnated by Qin Shihuang. They were in the mentality of watching the tiger fight between Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji.

The second is the officials who have conflicts of interest with Li Chengqian. Most of these officials are from the military and political gentry of Guanzhong. At this moment, these officials are confident that Li Chengqian is the reincarnation of Qin Shihuang, so they are all very afraid at this time.

There are also people who are interested in the Eastern Palace. These people are either honest and self-reliant ministers with Wei Zheng’s friendship, or some poor people who are self-reliant and talented, or they are hard-core confidants who promoted and used by Li Chengqian. Some of them do not believe it, and some people think that only Qin Shihuang has the courage to completely suppress the aristocratic families and allow scholars from poor families to be admired.

Li Chengqian's hard-core confidants basically knew that Li Chengqian sent Zhao Jie to summon Xue Rengui, and believed that he might have been the one whom God showed his dream to Li Chengqian. In the future, he would definitely be able to achieve success and make a name for his career. These people, including Su Dingfang, were a little excited and satisfied, and even decided to follow Li Chengqian's belief.

After a while, when the officials saw that Li Shimin did not speak, Gao Shilian guessed that Li Shimin's thoughts came forward and said, "Your Majesty heard that the Crown Prince is sick and has not been to court these days. I would rather not disturb the Crown Prince's recovery."

Li Shimin was about to fall down and agreed to see Liu Shi, the clan's servant, walked out and said, "Your Majesty's Eastern Palace is only a short distance from Taiji Hall. I'll send an eunuch to ask. After all, it's auspicious to offer books to the crown prince of the dynasty a thousand years ago. It's easy to record the future history books."

When Li Shimin thought about it, he had no choice but to turn around and wink at an eunuch beside him and ask him to go to the East Palace to pass the imperial edict.

"I'm afraid that's not the case, isn't it?" Yu Zhining said while walking the train, but he reacted a little slowly. If it were Changsun Wuji or Xiao Yu, who had already stood up and made a fuss.

"How do you say this to Yu Shuzi?" Zhu Suiliang immediately asked before he even came out.

When Yu Zhining heard this, he did not look back at Zhu Suiliang, and said to the ministers with a clear mind: "If a loyal minister or a filial son presents a book, it will naturally be auspicious, but if a cruel official of the Qin Dynasty presents a book, it will not be auspicious."

Zhu Suiliang was also shocked when he heard this. Since ancient times, people have believed that books are good things, especially those who cannot understand books. Even if they hear awesome names, they will be unaware of them.

But true scholars naturally have their own standards for the quality of books.

Regardless of whether Li Chengqian was reincarnated by Qin Shihuang, as long as he figured out who Qin Chen was the one who presented the book? What book did he presented to Li Chengqian? He could tell the world who Li Chengqian was.

Zhu Suiliang could think of others, so could he think of them.

"Your Majesty Qin Minister offers a letter that has never happened in history. I think it is better to have a secret palace if His Highness has seen it." Xu Jingzong walked out and said.

If Li Shimin had a little idea of ​​protecting Li Chengqian, he should have vaguely silenced the matter first and then make a decision after reading the content of the bamboo slips. But at this time, Li Shimin wanted to depose Li Chengqian immediately, so how could he want to protect him?

Li Shimin thought about it and understood the key, and said with great utmost singularity: "Qin ministers offer books is something that has never happened in history. He will be summoned to the world. Later, the bamboo slips are brought to me and I will study them together with you. If it is a good book that is really beneficial to the country, it will be handed over to the Chongxian Pavilion to engrave it and spread throughout the world to future generations.

If it is a bad book written by a cruel official that harms the country and the people, I will issue an order to burn it immediately to avoid endless disasters."

As soon as Li Shimin said this, the atmosphere in the hall changed just now. On the one hand, Li Shimin and officials from the Guanzhong gentry all thought that if they could find a reason to burn the bamboo slips later, and then spread some rumors, they would greatly damage Li Chengqian's prestige.

Li Chengqian's confidant was very worried. After all, Chinese history after the Han Dynasty had negative comments on the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shihuang, and I really couldn't remember any good officials in the Qin Dynasty.

Just as everyone in the hall was waiting with different moods, Li Chengqian came to Tai Chi Hall.

When Li Shimin and his ministers looked, they saw that Li Chengqian had a bright yellow silk cloth tied to his head, his face was pale, and he was sick when he walked several times. With the help of the old ghost, he walked to the center of the hall step by step. Then it took a long time to salute Li Shimin.

"Son, please see your father!" Li Chengqian's voice showed weakness.

Li Shimin felt mixed feelings when he looked at the weak Li Chengqian. This was his son who had been raised on his shoulders since he was a child! Now he was forced to this extent by himself. If he was forced to force him to become cruel, what should he do if he really lost himself early?

Could it be that he was like King Ling of Zhou who forced Prince Jin to death, and Emperor Yang of Sui who forced Prince Yuanchang to death was scolded by later generations?

Li Shimin didn't have time to think about it because Li Chengqian was already coughing below.

"Since Chengqian is sick, there is no need to be too polite. Let's return to his seat calmly."

"Thank you, my son and I have to report this chapter. The Qin Dynasty's six orders Shi Xi offered me a letter and asked his father to posthumously as Duke of Chu." Li Chengqian said weakly, while taking out a memorial from his arms. The eunuch hurriedly came down to take it and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the memorial and put it on the table and said, "Chengqian will return to his seat first, and then talk about the matter of Qin ministers after I and the ministers read the book he presented."

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this and was helped by the old ghost to sit on the small throne next to Li Shimin. Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and said expressionlessly: "Where is the book he presented?"

Li Chengqian whispered when he heard this: "Let them carry it up!"

The old ghost went out to arrange for someone to carry Jiang Xingben to the East Palace bamboo slips.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you have read this book presented by An 6 Lingshi?" Yu Zhining saw that Li Chengqian was so ill, and guessed that he might not have read it yet.

"I haven't read it!" Li Chengqian did not have time to read these bamboo slips yet, but he had read some online in his previous life and knew the general content of these bamboo slips.

"Since His Highness has never read this good book presented by An 6 Lingshi, how can he ask for the title of Duke of Jing at will? If the books he presented were all books of cruel officials to harm the country, how could His Majesty's order to postpone the title of his Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince be so wise?" Yu Zhining hurriedly came up. He now knew that there was no possibility of ease with Li Chengqian, so he had become the vanguard of defeating Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows when he heard this and was about to dig a hole for him and let him jump in, but Zhu Suiliang said first: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, so he will naturally ask for a title for the person who asks the dream to offer a letter."

Yu Zhining couldn't help but smile when he heard this, thinking that he was kind-hearted?

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, but said seriously: "As a king of a country, you should distinguish right from wrong and not do things in the name of benevolence."

"What? Why can't the Lone King distinguish right from wrong? If the Lone King dares to try the case in front of the Zhuque Gate without knowing it, he will kill so many traitors and corrupt officials and bullies?

Among them is your cousin, you won’t forget it, right?” Li Chengqian was angry and forgot to pretend to be sick by Yu Zhiding. As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke quickly and his aggressive attitude suddenly stopped Yu Zhining.

It was only when he felt that Li Shimin was not good at gaze that he had lost his disguise. He knew that it was unrealistic to pretend to be sick, so he stopped pretending. He sat down directly and squinted his eyes and said to Zhining: "The Lone King is so angry.
