Chapter 343 Everyone is drunk
Ganlu Temple.
In the side hall where Li Chengqian usually rests and changes his clothes, Li Chengqian was lying on the recliner like cold frost, and he didn't even look at Qiu Shenji and Li Yifu standing next to him.
The atmosphere in the house is uneven.
Li Yi's mansion did not dare to say anything but shook Qiu Shenji repeatedly.
Qiu Shenji, with a expressionless face, stood there like a wooden sculpture, without moving his body, and his eyes were not even instant.
"You all know what happened in front of Liangyi Gate, right?" Li Chengqian said gloomyly after a while.
When Li Yifu was about to answer, he heard Qiu Shenji's voice say coldly: "Return to the crown prince, I think these people do not obey the law and should be severely punished!"
Li Chengqian nodded slowly when he heard this and expressed his approval. These people will be removed sooner or later.
When Li Yifu saw this, he was anxious. Why did Qiu Shenji be so bold?
Looking at Li Chengqian again, he was already angry. If he could be severely punished, he would have ordered it.
Li Chengfu hurriedly stepped forward and bent over and said to Li Chengqian with a smile: "Go back to the Crown Prince, I think they dare to stand in front of Liangyi Gate to threaten the Crown Prince because they are just from their gentry origins.
His Highness the Crown Prince may order that all officials above the fifth rank of the Tang Dynasty are considered to be from a gentry, so that the gentry will not be the only ones."
This was the idea that Li Yifu gave to Wu Zetian in history, but it also doubled the aristocratic families.
The newly added gentry will not compare with the old gentry in terms of making contributions to the country, but will definitely compare with the old gentry in terms of entry and exit, luxury life, and fighting for power and profit.
Now that these gentry Li Chengqian have not been eliminated, how could he use orders to create a large number of gentry?
Li Chengqian turned his face and looked at Li Yifu and said lightly: "The Li Qing family is not from a gentry, right?"
Li Yifu's face immediately became ugly when he heard this, and he said after a while: "I am indeed not from a gentry."
Li Chengqian nodded expressionlessly when he heard this, and Li Yifu felt his heart rising as he looked at him.
After a while, he said slowly with a look of indifference: "The Lone King never doesn't know his origins when he uses people. He only sees his loyalty and talent, and whether he has made contributions to the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing Li Chengqian so serious, Li Yifu was frightened on the spot. He quickly lay on the ground and said with a trembling voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is full of public heart and simple despair. I always think that even if I am willing to do anything, I cannot repay Your Highness the Crown Prince.
However, at this time, the officials in the court had their own selfish intentions, and the people were all stupid. Who has been like His Royal Highness, who has far-sighted and far-sighted in history? Who knows that His Royal Highness is good at doing well in the world?
‘The world is turbid and ignorant, and I like to hide beauty and be jealous.’ Facing this world, I really have no choice.”
Li Yifu actually burst into tears as he spoke.
Li Chengqian's chest was undulating when he heard this, and his face turned pale and gritted his teeth and said, "'The world is turbid and inseparable, and he is so jealous that he is so beautiful.' In this sentence in "Li Sao", do you mean that the Lone King would sink into the Milu River like Doctor Sanlu?"
Li Yifu was stunned when he heard this and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise and powerful. If a flying dragon can hide and appear in the sky, it will naturally turn bad luck into good luck when encountering things."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said firmly: "The Lone King will never retreat in this matter, and there is no way out." Speaking of this, Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Qiu Shenji and said: "The Qiu Qing family is right. These officials must be severely punished, but the charge cannot be that they guarded the Liangyi Gate and gave advice."
"I obey the order!" Qiu Shenji said without hesitation.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "You guys go and do it!"
"I obey the order!" Qiu Shenji received the order again.
However, Li Yifu was scolding in his heart. If this errand was done, he would not be able to make ends meet in Shilin in the future.
Seeing Qiu Shenji and Li Yi's mansion go out, Li Chengqian was unable to walk out of this side hall. As soon as he left the hall, he found that it was already sunset outside.
While walking towards Li Shimin's bedroom, Li Chengqian asked the old ghost who came to meet him: "Is there anything wrong with my father today?"
"Your Majesty is fine. I just got up in the morning and got a fever. I was awake all morning. I took a nap at noon. I mentioned you when I woke up. I heard that you have been ahead today, so I didn't ask me to invite you..."
The old ghost reported to Li Chengqian about Li Shimin's situation while walking.
Li Chengqian walked into Li Shimin's bedroom and saw that Li Shimin was still asleep.
So he sat by the bed for a while and then walked to the outer hall again. As soon as he arrived at the outer hall, he saw Liu Kui hurriedly walking in from outside.
When Li Chengqian saw that something new happened, he sat down on the embroidery dormitory next to him and looked at Liu Kui and asked, "What happened outside?"
Liu Kui walked to Li Chengqian and stopped, took a breath, bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "I have reported to the Crown Prince. Just now, Duke Shen and Yang Zhongshu and several other ministers went to Liangyi Gate to persuade the court officials who were admonishing in front of Liangyi Gate to go back.
But all the court officials said that they wanted to stay in front of Liangyi Gate, and His Highness the Crown Prince would not take back his orders and would never go back..."
"Put it on your face!" Li Chengqian took a deep breath after hearing this.
After saying that, he stretched out and helped Liu Kui stand up and said, "After a while, you will go and pass on the orphan king's will, telling everyone that those people are willing to guard the Liangyi Gate and let them guard it, and don't worry about them."
Liu Kui hurried out when she heard this.
Li Chengqian was really not in the mood to deal with other things, so he walked to the place where the Crown Princess and Wang Niangdi lived.
The Crown Princess saw Li Chengqian walking in with an expressionless face and hurriedly brought Li Xiang brothers to meet him. Li Chengqian looked at them and forced a smile.
He held Li Xiang with one hand and held the crown princess with the other hand and said, "Let you live in Tai Chi Palace and put the smallest one in the East Palace, and you should keep it in mind every day."
When the Crown Princess Su heard this, she also looked at her eyes and said: "My father is sick and your highness is in charge of the country. I must come to Tai Chi Palace to fulfill my filial piety for you. Fortunately, the wet nurse in the East Palace is quite careful, and there are eunuchs coming to report the news every day, so I am not worried."
Li Chengqian heard this and said, "When my father is better, the Lone King will lead you back to the East Palace."
The Crown Princess was shocked when she heard this, "Your Highness is in charge of the country. You should put the Tang Dynasty first. You must not retreat because of your concubines, mothers and sons!"
Li Chengqian didn't say anything when he heard this.
The Crown Princess looked at the face of worry, and walked a few steps forward before continuing: "Reasonablely, I am a woman who should not be involved in the affairs of the court, but I am the prince and his wife are one..." When she said this, she looked carefully at Li Chengqian's face. Seeing that Li Chengqian's face had not changed color, she continued: "But today I heard that your prince would just give more than a hundred gentry children?"
"Um!"
Li Chengqian didn't get help from the ministers and wanted to hear what they said.
"I believe that those who have stopped extorting will definitely not be competent, but people in the world may not think so.
Furthermore, although these young talents from the gentry have not shown their strengths yet, they will sooner or later be able to contribute to the Tang Dynasty as long as they stay in the court.
As the saying goes, if you raise troops for a thousand days, you should raise them for a while before you can serve the court..."
Li Chengqian didn't listen to what the Crown Princess said in the end, but he just thought to himself that the "genius" was, what kind of existence was it in the Tang Dynasty?
