A decree was to dismiss more than 100 noble-ranking young men from the noble family. The Liangyi Gate immediately became lively. A group of middle and lower-level officials blocked the Liangyi Gate and demanded to see Li Chengqian.

In the side hall of Ganlu Hall, Li Chengqian sat upright on the throne and said to Qiu Xinggong who came to report without expression: "The Lone King will not see you. Tell them that they will go back to the yamen to work and write memorials for work. If they don't go to the yamen to work, the Lone King will be exempted from his official position. If they want to make trouble, they will beat him with sticks."

When Qiu Xinggong heard this, he seemed to be embarrassed on his face that was frozen by the eternal frozen ones. He looked at Li Chengqian and said softly: "Your Highness, these people are all ministers of the court, so you can't drive them away with sticks!"

Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard this, looked up at Qiu Xinggong and said lightly: "The Gu Wang has always heard that the Qiu Qing family is strict in governing the army, so when it was extraordinary, he entrusted his wealth, life and the Tang Dynasty to Qiu Qing family. Why did the Qiu Qing family shrink back today?"

Qiu Xinggong heard this and bowed in a panic, and said in a deep voice: "I dare not retreat when I encounter any problems. Your Highness is the first-class civil and military skills. You should know that this court is not a battlefield or a military camp.

If you beat these ministers out of the way, not only will these ministers be dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince, but even other ministers will be dissatisfied with you.

At that time, even if His Highness the Crown Prince hand over his minister’s head, he will not be able to regain his heart. Please think twice before you think about it.”

Qiu Xinggong was the Tang Dynasty’s people who knew what the meaning of “a scholar can be killed without shame” is.

Li Chengqian felt aroused when he heard this, and stood up and helped Qiu Xinggong up and said, "The Qiu Qing family does not need to be too careless. The lonely king is definitely not a person with no kindness. How could the Qiu Qing family have suffered for the lonely king?

Qiu Qing’s family will go back to work first. As for those people, please let the Lone King think about it again, so let them hang out at Liangyi Gate for a while."

Qiu Xinggong felt relieved when he heard this, and saluted Li Chengqian solemnly and said, "I obey the order and please rest assured that the Crown Prince. No one except the minister can walk in front of the Liangyi Gate, and these people will definitely not enter the Liangyi Gate."

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, Qiu Xinggong turned around and left.

Li Chengqian looked at Qiu Xinggong walking out and said to Liu Kui with a serious expression: "Go to tell Li Yi's mansion that Qiu Shenji came to see the Lone King."

--------------------------------

Things in front of Liangyi Gate quickly spread throughout Chang'an City, and all the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City were paying attention to Li Chengqian's response.

Although Fang Xuanling was demoted to the people, his rank was still powerful, not to mention that his enemy Li Chengqian is facing a problem now.

Some relatives came to Fang Mansion under the name of mourning, wanting to know what Fang Xuanling thinks about this.

Fang Xuanling was preparing to finish his mother's funeral, and personally helped the spirit back to Licheng to maintain filial piety and never returned to Chang'an City. Therefore, he has been filial piety in front of the spirit these days and will not meet anyone alone when he comes.

But this also caused some uncontrollable factors to appear in his family.

Fang Yize, the third son of Fang Xuanling and his wife, and the former East Palace Qianniuwei Helan Chu Shizheng and Fang Yize were talking in the study.

Although Helan Chushi and Fang Yize are not close friends, they are both nobles from Chang'an City and often meet in Chang'an City. So today Helan Chushi came to pay their respects to the condolences and hit it off.

...

...

"Your Highness King Jing really wants to seize the throne?" Helan Chushi asked nervously.

King Jing Li Yuanjing was Fang Yize's father-in-law and is now serving as the governor of Fuzhou near Chang'an.

In history, Fang Yiai and Xue Wanche rebelled, and wanted to push King Jing Li Yuanjing to ascend the throne. After the failure, Li Yuanjing was sentenced to death by Li Zhi.

Now that Li Shimin is seriously ill, Li Chengqian is obviously unwilling to win the will of the aristocratic race, Li Yuanjing, the King of Jing near Chang'an, became interested.

In the name of mourning Fang Xuanling's mother, he sent someone to send a message to Fang Yize, and ordered him to contact the ministers in the capital to overthrow Li Shimin and his son.

"Li Chengqian is mean and ruthless and unethical, and the aristocratic families in the world. If he ascended the throne, he would definitely reappear in the late Sui Dynasty... Brother Helan didn't want to see such a scene, right?" Fang Yize looked at Helan and Chu Shi and said seriously.

Helan Chushi nodded silently when he heard this, expressing his approval of what Fang Yize said.

"If you want to say that Li Chengqian is indeed not a good thing, no Master Donggong had a good ending in the past few years.

My father-in-law used to see his status as a shaky person and took the initiative to show his kindness to him, but he was treacherous and didn't even write a reply by himself. Now he has locked my father-in-law in the prison for no reason..."

"Li Chengqian even dared to imprison His Majesty, who was seriously ill, and all the princes in the capital were locked in the palace by him and refused to let them go... His father was dismissed from his Tang Dynasty and eventually he ended up being dismissed from office."

Both of them were full of resentment towards Li Chengqian, and they lost their guardianship as soon as they said...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fortunately, Li Chengqian is facing unprecedented pressure and has no interest in paying attention to small people like Fang Yize, Helan, and Chu Shi.

Li Chengqian refused to meet the ministers in front of Liangyi Gate, which made several old ministers and a group of ministers in the Eastern Palace very worried. Gao Shilian, who had not entered the palace for several days, had to enter the palace again and called Yang Shidao, Zhang Chengxing and the ministers of the Eastern Palace of the Six Ministers asked to see Li Chengqian together.

Li Chengqian was still high in the Ganlu Sect, watching the minister in front of him take out the resumes of more than 100 children of aristocratic races he dismissed.

These people either entered the officialdom because of their family or were recommended to the officialdom because of their origins. After entering the officialdom, they were not doing their jobs. They either lingered in Pingkangfang or went to the singing, dancing and banquets of powerful families.

Li Chengqian looked at Gao Shilian and Yang Shidao and others and said slowly: "You are the one who has chosen the wise and appointed the emperor since ancient times. Now some officials from aristocratic families steal the wise and nepotism. How can they be slandered by sinners who are ill-gotten?

Gao Shilian looked helpless when he heard this, and took a deep breath before he slowly said: "What the Crown Prince said is reasonable, but the emperor cannot be respectful to his relatives. Some positions are worthy of being selected by the emperor himself, and some positions are naturally to be handed over to his ministers. This has been the case since ancient times..."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Hmph! Now the 'Talented' Lone King recommended by these people is not satisfied, so can't he be dismissed?"

As he said that, he put his resume heavily on the table and said, "Look at who they are?"

Liu Kui handed a stack of resumes to Gao Shilian. Gao Shilian took them over and didn't even look at them. Then he said to Li Chengqian indifferently: "These people who have just entered the school are mostly positions of nobles, and the court has no important government affairs to them. If His Royal Highness thinks they have nothing to do to grow, he can hand over government affairs to them."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at Gao Shilian. Hearing what Gao Shilian said, these children who entered the officialdom were simply not worth mentioning.

Li Chengqian stopped looking at Gao Shilian, turned to look at the others and asked, "Do you all think so?"

Among the six ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Cheng Mingzhen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Xue Dading of the Ministry of Works, and Ma Zhou of the Ministry of Personnel were all promoted by Li Chengqian, and Chu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong and Su Dingfang were also listed. When Li Chengqian thought that someone would support him, no matter what, he would have been there.

However, after Li Chengqian asked for a long time, no one said anything. Finally, Chu Suiliang came out and said, "I think this matter cannot be rushed for a while. Your Highness can demote these people first or punish them for their salary..."

When Li Chengqian heard this, his face became gloomy. It was absolutely impossible to ask him to take back the order he had already given out.

Thinking that Li Yi Mansion and the others should arrive, they waved to the ministers and said, "Let the Lone King think about it!"

Seeing this, Gao Shilian calmly dusted off his body without dust and said solemnly to Li Chengqian: "The ministers waiting for advice in front of the Liangyi Gate are still under the scorching sun. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Please make a decision quickly!" The ministers put pressure on Li Chengqian together.
