Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with admiration these days. Although Li Shimin drove him out of Tai Chi Palace, he did not take back his power to supervise the state, nor did he interfere in his handling of government affairs.

I heard that Li Chengqian was going to build a sewer for Chang'an, and he was very happy and had to provide subsidies for the treasury.

This progress is simply too great!

Li Chengqian was very pleased that Li Shimin was so sensible.

Xu Jingzong and Li Yi Mansion were also very good at doing things. They arrested more than 100 officials of all sizes in one case.

For a moment, the entire court was quiet, and every time he went to court, he could only hear Li Chengqian's voice alone.

No minister dares to say that Li Chengqian is not stubborn.

Because what Li Chengqian did was either to solve the problems raised by the people at the Qianshou Political Discussion Banquet last year, or to realize the plans in the Ten Year Plan of the Tang Dynasty.

Since the period when King Jing rebelled, the government has been pacified, the ministers who only know how to persuade the emperor have nowhere to speak.

When he returned to the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian still liked to deal with the government affairs in Chongjiao Hall, and opened the small door leading to Tai Chi Palace again in the west wall of the East Palace. Every day, officials from the Secretariat and the Menxia Province could report to him quickly.

In the Chongjiao Hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian sat on the first batch of memorials in casual clothes.

The Grand Secretary of the Hepingzhang Academy of Chongjiao Hall sat down to handle government affairs together.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Goguryeo Gassuvin sent an envoy to send tribute.

I thought Gai Suwen killed the monarch and took over power, and the Tang Dynasty should not have received their tribute." Ju Suiliang held a memorial from the Honglu Temple.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he put down his pen and thought that Goguryeo would sooner or later be destroyed, and it doesn’t matter whether the tribute is collected or not!

Then he said lightly: "The tribute is sealed, the Goguryeo envoy serves as a rebel minister, and Jiao Dali Temple interrogates and punishes the crime."

"Abide by the order!" said Suiliang, and wrote down the comments as Li Chengqian said.

The Tang Dynasty was good. The envoy from the neighboring country was sent to the Dali Temple Prison by Li Chengqian understatement, and promised that he had no place to reason and had to plead guilty by himself.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as Li Chengqian picked up the brush again, an eunuch walked in and saluted Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked up and saw that it was the eunuch from Ganlu Palace, and hurriedly said, "No gift! You are here because your father has the will."

The eunuch smiled and replied, "Go back to the Prince, Your Majesty, today he felt refreshed and he was much better. So he summoned a few old ministers to the palace to speak, and held a banquet in Ganlu Hall at noon, and sent a servant to invite His Majesty to come and have a meal together."

After hearing that he had been talking for a long time, Li Chengqian didn't mention Li Shimin's request, who knew that there must be another article.

His face turned cold. After hearing him say that, he asked lightly: "Who did your Majesty invite?"

"Uh! They are all old ministers..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhou quickly stood up and said, "It is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty to be in good health. Your Majesty will go and greet you now.

The eunuch will go and report to the Crown Prince, who is very happy to hear that His Majesty is healthy and will definitely go to pay his respects to His Majesty before lunch!"

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Go!"

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

Because Li Shimin officially summoned Yan Ming and other foreign ministers, Li Chengqian took care of several official duties at hand and went to Tai Chi Palace to change his court wards.

"See Father!"

Li Chengqian walked into the Ganlu Hall and saluted Li Shimin, who was sitting on the top.

Li Shimin smiled and said enthusiastically: "Chengqian, come here to sit down."

Li Chengqian walked over and sat down, and said with a smile: "I heard that my father's health is getting better and better, and my son was very happy. He specially ordered someone to make some snacks for his father to taste."

As he said that, the old ghost brought in a food box and handed it to the eunuch in Tai Chi Hall.

Li Shimin saw it and waved his hand with a smile: "Chengqian's filial piety is about to come up."

Li Shimin smiled and looked at the eunuch putting on a few exquisite vegetables, took a chopstick and tasted it loudly, "Okay!"

Then he waved his hand and said, "Go and invite King Wu and Duke Shen from Wei."

Li Chengqian thought to himself that Li Shimin could not only hire Li Jing and Gao Shilian to do so much work.

...

"See Your Majesty, meet Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Okay! Take your seat flat!"

Li Shimin was still smiling, but Li Chengqian's face became ugly because Fang Xuanling and Hou Junji, who were locked in the Dali Temple prison, actually came.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had indeed changed his face, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Chengqian, Xuanling and Junji are both implicated by their descendants--"

Li Chengqian simply turned his head to the side when he heard this.

Li Shimin paused with embarrassment and then said, "I did not want to pardon their guilt, but I thought that they had done a lot of efforts to the Tang Dynasty and could not bear to be humiliated by the minor officials, so I wanted to interrogate them in person."

"They did not treat them badly because of their contributions. They had high officials and generous salaries. Who would have lost their wives?

But what about them?

If you are not satisfied, you will indulge your children in a rebellion."

"Chengqian, Xuanling didn't know what happened to Yize. He—" Li Shimin was angry when he saw that Li Chengqian was not in the face and patted the table and said, "Even if I want to kill their heads, it would not be an exaggeration to invite them to a meal!"

Li Chengqian even heard this and said furiously: "If your father wants to punish them lightly, you can discuss it with your son in private.

What would people outside think if you openly invite them to the palace for dinner?

Is it because my son is unfilial? Is it because my father is dissatisfied with my son?”

Li Shimin really wanted to punish Fang Xuanling with a lighter punishment, but Hou Junji was just here to make up the numbers.

Li Shimin originally thought that Li Chengqian had seen him get sick and had only a few people around him who could speak. After eating this meal, Li Chengqian secretly told him to give him a lighter punishment. Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian lost face in person.

Now that Li Chengqian said this, he felt that he was inappropriate in handling this. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sound of crying.

When he turned his head and saw Fang Xuanling covering his face and crying with a sad cry. His crying sounded desolate, which made people want to cry even after hearing it.

When Hou Junji saw this, he started crying.

When Li Shimin saw their sorrow of crying, he couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes.

The others in the hall also looked sad.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is just a little bit more body, so it's not advisable to be angry and sad!" Li Ke hurriedly stood up and winked at Li Chengqian.

Before Li Chengqian could speak, he heard Li Shimin angrily, "The wings are getting hard, don't care about my life or death."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this. After a while, he seemed to admit defeat and said, "Father, let's just say it, how do you want to send them?"

Li Shimin was also embarrassed when he asked this. The reason why he set up a plan for Li Chengqian today was because Fang Xuanling was afraid that Li Chengqian would kill his family, so he secretly wrote to Li Shimin to beg him to make a fuss.

Li Shimin was really bored these days and summoned Fang Xuanling to the palace to give Li Chengqian a hint.

As for how to punish him, Li Shimin just thought that it was enough to not exterminate the clan.

Li Shimin thought for a long time and thought clearly what to do, so he had to say, "You told me what you plan to deal with them?"

Li Chengqian thought Li Shimin wanted to bargain, and said expressionlessly: "This matter has been handed over to the court's court's court to handle it. Naturally, after they interrogate, they will make a conclusion."

Li Shimin was almost furious when he heard this, and said with a angrily voice: "I said that I can't bear to be humiliated by the minor official. I want to interrogate him personally."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin for a long time, but he really couldn't understand what was in his head?

After a while, I had to give in: "I want them to have a way out, but there is no way."

Everyone couldn't help but look surprised when they heard this, but looking at Li Chengqian's cold and fierce expression, their hearts became cold again, knowing that Li Chengqian would never let them go easily.

"Where is this glimmer of vitality?" Li Shimin asked lightly after a while.

"Overseas title!"

After a pause, Li Chengqian explained: "They sent their young children from the clan to go out to sea with the third son, and made a world overseas, and the Tang Dynasty gave them titles.

From then on, they lived overseas as the lord of a country, but they had to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty for generations and pay tribute to them!”

Fang Xuanling finally felt relieved when he heard that he could not be exterminated. At this moment, he did not have any reluctance to the family going to sea.
