In the early morning, a red sun was rushing out from the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the east. The gray sea of ​​clouds was covered with a layer of hazy golden light, as if boiling.

The magnificent Tai Chi Palace under the red sun is solemn and solemn. The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards of each palace are traveling back and forth between the palaces and gardens, either swaying like immortals or as steady as a soldier or as majestic. They walk in this largest, most brilliant and majestic palace group in the world. Every step is strictly trained, and every step is carefully taken, for fear of mistakes that will make the palace no longer so perfect.

But in front of Liangyi Gate in Tai Chi Palace, a group of officials from etiquette families wearing official robes were clamoring in front of Liangyi Gate to see Li Chengqian.

These officials came to Liangyi Gate yesterday morning to ask to see Li Chengqian and to fight for their children. If Li Chengqian didn't see them, they stayed in front of Liangyi Gate and refused to leave.

It seems that they took the imperial court's salary not to serve the court, but to fight for official positions specifically for their children.

It is extremely difficult for people in summer to fall asleep, not to mention that these people stayed in front of the Tai Chi Palace without taking a shower or changing clothes, and were covered in smelly and sweating. They felt very uncomfortable until the second half of the night before they could barely fall asleep.

So when the sun rises, they still lie on the felt pad under the Liangyi Gate and sleep whisperingly, without any concern that this was the most important political place of the Tang Empire.

Dozens of eunuchs came to serve these people with their orders, carrying water for washing water and breakfast.

More than a dozen court officials were gently woken up by the eunuch and rubbed their eyes. They looked at Liangyi Gate with a look of a look of a grudge, and reluctantly washed and had a meal under the eunuchs' service.

Maybe it was because I didn’t sleep well, maybe it was because I didn’t take a bath yesterday, maybe it was because breakfast was not his appetite, maybe it was because Li Chengqian has not made any statement about their actions so far...

Taichang Shaoqing Liu Ziyi picked up a bowl of rice with shiny and rich aroma, and after eating only two bites, he threw the bowl in front of Liangyi's door.

This move attracted everyone to turn their heads and watch. Liu Ziyi, who was over 60 years old, stood up suddenly and panted and ran towards Liangyi Gate...

While running, he shouted loudly: "The prince is deceived by villains. Today, even if I die here, I will see His Highness the Prince."

The other ministers stopped eating here and stood up and chased Liu Ziyi and ran towards Liangyi Gate.

Liu Ziyi was born into the Liu family of Linhuai. Both his father and grandparents went to the Southern Dynasty until his generation to serve in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Because of their limited qualifications, they were only a Taichang Shaoqing in their lifetime.

Now his son Liu Zhizhi was dismissed by Li Chengqian as soon as he entered the officialdom. He has always called his son a thousand-mile horse in his family. How could he swallow this?

A group of court officials followed him to the gate of Liangyi Gate and were stopped by the guards of the imperial guards.

"Please go back with all your sir!" The imperial guard at the door stretched out a big axe to block Liu Ziyi.

Liu Ziyi, who was running forward, was stunned when he saw this and couldn't help but take a step back. He was supported by the officials behind him before he stood firm. He immediately became furious and stepped forward two steps and raised his hand and slapped his guard in the face.

He was not satisfied with the slap in the face, and pointed at the imperial guards and cursed: "Who gives you the courage to stop me?"

The guard was slapped in the face and dared to bow his head and scold him, but he didn't even dare to raise his head. He even felt that he shouldn't collide with such a gentry official.

The noise here was a bit loud, which alarmed the Shouhe Shenji.

Qiu Shenji, who was full of armor, walked slowly over with an expressionless face. Qiu Shenji has always been known for his severity, and the ministers were a little afraid of seeing it.

But I was not worried that Qiu Shenji would do anything to a Taifu Shaoqing who was born in a gentry. The court officials outside also looked at Qiu Shenji with expressionless faces.

The two sides were stalemate for a while, and Liu Ziyi and others heard footsteps coming from behind. They turned around and saw a group of officials in red robes walking towards them with great momentum. The leader was the Taichang Qing Dou Lu Xianchao in purple robes.

Dou Luxianchao was born in Changli Dou Lu's family, who is over 70 years old this year. He is familiar with etiquette and law, so he has always been a Taichangqing. He does not enter the yamen at all and will only appear when there are major ceremonies in the court.

I didn’t expect that I would appear in front of Liangyi Gate today, so the purpose of the trip is naturally self-evident.

Walking next to him was Wei Dan, who had a pale face and skinny face. Wei Dan's son Wei Xuangui was also dismissed by Li Chengqian this time, so it was only natural for him to come.

But the black-faced young man walking next to Wei Dan came beyond everyone's expectations. He was Wei Shuyu, the eldest son of the late Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was loyal to Li Chengqian and knew that the world was well-known. He still worked hard to plan for Li Chengqian until his death. He received the highest honor of Li Chengqian's personal letter "Life and Death Relief" engraved on the tombstone.

Why did Wei Shuyu, as Wei Zheng's eldest son, stand up against Li Chengqian?

"Duke Wenzhen of Wei was also from the Wei family of Julu."

Someone gave the answer soon.

Several court officials in front of Liangyi Gate quickly turned around and met.

"I've met Mr. Doulu!"

Dou Lu Xianchao didn't even look at these people when he heard this. He was covered with a layer of frost on his wrinkled face and walked forward.

Dou Lu Xianchao walked to Liangyi Gate, straightened his back and looked forward, and didn't even look at the guards of the imperial guards and eunuchs on both sides. He didn't even have Qiu Xinggong in his eyes, but just said lightly: "Go and report to the Crown Prince, Taichang Qing Dou Lu Xianchao has something to ask for a meeting."

The tone was like servitude by one's own slaves, which was the confidence of officials from a Tang Dynasty family.

The eunuchs and the guards at the gate did not feel offended, but instead went in to report the news.

Wei Shuyu stood beside Dou Lu Xianchao's black face and had no expression on his face, but he was very nervous.

He did not have the ability of Wei Zheng or the adaptability of Wei Zheng. He came here today with only one purpose, and persuaded Li Chengqian not to be deceived by villains. If Li Chengqian cannot wake up, in order to repay Li Chengqian for Wei Zheng'en, he decided to give him a warning to death.

The little eunuch went in for a while and hurried out, bowing to Dou Lu Xianchao and others with sweat on his head and saying, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has left the palace."

"snort!"

Dou Lu Xianchao snorted angrily when he heard this, and the eunuch shivered in fear.

"Your Majesty is seriously ill. His Highness is responsible for the responsibility of supervising the country. He does not serve His Majesty in the palace, handles political affairs, and receives court officials. Instead, he goes out of the palace to play and play?" Dou Lu Xianchao turned around and looked at the ministers and said word by word.

"That's it, that's it!"

"I must see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today..."

"There are too many traitors around His Highness the Prince, and he actually teased His Highness the Prince out of the Palace to play."

...

...

The courtiers all expressed their support.

Although Dou Lu Xianchao, as a third-rank official, had little real power, his influence in the court was extremely great. As soon as he stood in front of Liangyi Gate, he immediately alarmed Gao Shilian and Yang Shidao and others.

Gao Shilian and others went to Ganlu Gate to see Li Chengqian. They heard that Li Chengqian had already left the palace and wanted to go in and see that Li Shimin was blocked by Lao Gui and Wang Fangyi again.

I could only go back to the office to arrange people to take care of Dou Lu Xianchao and others. After the arranged people went back, I said that many low-level officials had already run over to take care of them.

So Dou Lu Xianchao's unfounded words spread throughout Chang'an City within half a day.

Almost everyone in Chang'an knew that Li Chengqian went out of the palace to play during Li Shimin's serious illness and was unfilial, neither diligent nor frugal, and Jian Zhen was a sample of a foolish monarch.

Many modern people think that the Tang Dynasty's gentry was just five surnames and seven great masters, and as long as the heads of these families were dealt with, the gentry would be gone.

Before traveling through time, Li Chengqian also thought so, but after traveling through time, Li Chengqian found that he was wrong. The "gentry" did not refer to in detail. This is a belief in power that has been formed over hundreds of years since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Families who have become gentry will do their best to maintain their status. Families who have not become gentry will try their best to turn themselves into gentry as long as they have the chance.

So they all tried their best to enhance the status and influence of the gentry.

This belief not only exists between the "genius tribes" and the "quasi-genius tribes", but even ordinary people worship the genius very much.

Before Li Shimin and his generals were not yet mythized in the "Complete Biography of Tang", their reputation among ordinary people is far inferior to that of the gentry.

Moreover, even if the five surnames and seven families are not really seven families, each family has branches and leaves everywhere, and the people who came out also go everywhere to report their own county views, such as the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Cui family in Boling...

These officials from other families have credibility, so Li Chengqian has hit a real ironclad this time.
