Chapter 389

In the Ziguang Hall, Li Chengqian and Su clan leaned against each other, and after a while, no one spoke.

The autumn sun sets westward, and it falls on the two of them through the entrance of the hall, making the hall more gentle and quiet.

Li Chengqian's heart gradually calmed down. Although Su could not give him practical help, Li Chengqian felt very at ease when he hugged Su, because this woman was someone who was willing to live and die with him.

He is someone who will never betray him.

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard someone outside coughing lightly.

Su's body was tight, turned his head and smiled at Li Chengqian, and said softly: "I'm afraid there is something to wait for Your Highness again."

As he said that, he let go of Li Chengqian's hand and stood up gently.

Li Chengqian looked at Su standing in front of the bed and smiled, "You go first and tell me to hold a banquet in Cheng'en Hall tonight and let us have a meal together."

Su smiled and bowed, then turned around and went out.

Li Chengqian watched Su walk out, his face immediately became gloomy, and he lay down on the bed with his antics on his back, and said lightly: "Transfer people from outside."

When the old ghost and Qiu Shenji were waiting at the entrance of the hall, they all looked slightly moved when they heard it. They knew that Li Chengqian was on fire. Before Liu Kui could go out and spread it, they hurriedly walked into the east room carefully.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Um."

Li Chengqian and the others uttered lightly.

The two of them stood up straight, but Qiu Shenji was still expressionless as usual.

The old ghost saw Li Chengqian lying on the bed with his legs spread apart, and his expression immediately became richer. He hurriedly walked forward and said in a coquettish voice: "Ouch! My Prince, how can you lie down like this..."

As he said that, he held Li Chengqian's arm with both hands, he turned around and said, "Liu Kui! Why don't you give His Highness a pillow for His Royal Highness-"

Liu Kui hurriedly took a big pillow behind Li Chengqian. The old ghost helped Li Chengqian slowly lean on it, and then retreated. He still muttered: "Your Highness, Liu Kui has no eyesight. Don't forget to use him for anything, otherwise you will be the one who is wronged."

Li Chengqian waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, let's talk about the serious business."

The old ghost hurriedly heard this, bowed and stood up with Qiu Shenji, waiting for Li Chengqian's orders.

Li Chengqian looked at Qiu Shenji and Lao Gui and said, "Do you all know what's happening in the Chongjiao Palace today?"

"knew."

The two answered.

"The Lone King took it lightly today, but it was enough to see that these people were very powerful. You can send additional people to stare at these people, and wait for the Lone King to drive them all out in a few days."

Li Chengqian’s idea is very simple now. Since Zhang Xingcheng and others don’t cooperate with me, don’t do things under me.

"Abide by the order!"

After receiving the order, Qiu Shenji, who had never spoken much, took the initiative to speak: "When I came, I heard from someone that the two fast horses had just left the court and saved them from the gate and went straight out of the east gate."

Li Chengqian knew as soon as he heard this, that Zhang Xingcheng must have sent someone to Luoyang to report to Li Shimin.

"I know, I'll monitor them closely. The old ghost Feige sent a letter to Luoyang and asked me to report the matter to me every day." Li Chengqian was really worried about Zhang Xingcheng now and submitted a memorial to ask Li Shimin to come out to take charge.

"Abide by the order!"

After Qiu Shenji and Lao Gui bowed again and accepted the order, Li Chengqian waved his hand and ordered them to retreat.

Li Chengqian watched them leave and lay on the bed for a while, knowing that he didn't have time to get angry and had to get up and deal with it with all his strength.

Then he got up and got out of bed, helped Liu Kui out of the east room to make it easier to cleanse his hands.

He returned to the main hall of Ziguang Hall and sat down, and directly ordered: "Send someone to summon Du Zhenglun and Liu Xiangdao, and send someone to tell Liu Xiangdao that the Guwang of Liu Xiangdao is going to order him to meet His Majesty today, and ask him to send someone home to pay tribute."

When Liu Kui heard this, he hurriedly sent someone out to pass the imperial edict. Li Chengqian suddenly felt bored while sitting in the Ziguang Hall.

Li Chengqian usually handles government affairs in Chongjiao Hall, and all official documents and memorials are placed in Chongjiao Hall and are under special care.

At this moment, Li Chengqian was not in the mood to go to Chongjiao Hall again, but Du Zhenglun and Liu Xiangdao were both in the Secretariat outside the palace, and it took half an hour to go and come back.

He asked the eunuch to prepare the writing and writing by himself, standing on the desk of the book.

He held a brush in his hand but didn't know what to write. After a while, he thought about mentioning Jia Yi in the Chongjiao Palace, so he wrote down the "Ode to Jia Yi" by later generations.

The young man was so handsome that his ambitions were not fulfilled.

The skeleton has a million soldiers, and the courage is shining on the Chinese nation and the tree of thousands of towers.

The hero is helpless and the lord is finally suspicious.

We cherish the Changsha Fu throughout the ages, and the white Miluo steps into the dust.

A seven-character verse is just fifty-six words, and Li Chengqian wrote it several times before he felt satisfied.

Li Chengqian picked up the last article he wrote and was looking at it left and right. Liu Kui said softly: "I will report to the Crown Prince, and Secretary Du and Minister Liu have arrived."

Li Chengqian still read the words when he heard this, and said without raising his head: "Let them come in."

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Du Zhenglun and Liu Xiangdao walked into the hall and saluted Li Chengqian with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Li Chengqian raised his head when he heard the sound, saw the two of them put down the words in their hands, and said with a smile on his face: "You two, please settle down."

"Thank you, Prince!"

The two of them stood up and saw that Li Chengqian was smiling and felt even more unnatural.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said to the two: "The two Qings family are coming right. Let's see how the word "Organ Wang" is written?"

The two of them walked forward without knowing each other and saw a few random words written on the table. They hurriedly picked up one to look at each.

"Okay, good handwriting! Good poem!" After only a few glances at Du Zhenglun couldn't help but admire him.

"Okay, good poetry! Good writing!" Liu Xiangdao also said.

"Since you don't dislike me, I will pick one of them and take it home."

When the two of them looked at each other, they quickly put down their words and bowed to Li Chengqian, saying in shame: "I am not good at doing things well, so I should not be rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

It would be fine if you just write Li Chengqian, but the song "Ode to Jia Yi" made the two of them dare not take it now.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian laughed and walked around the book case and bent over to support the two of them, saying, "Get up quickly, listen to the Lone King finish his words."

The two of them became powerful.

Li Chengqian sat on the roving chair next to him, pointed to the chair below and said, "Sit down and listen to the lonely king slowly."

When the two saw that they sat like this, they sat in the same row with Li Chengqian, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't dare."

Li Chengqian did not force and said directly: "You were ordered by the Lone King this time, but those people are not afraid to have bad thoughts on Lone King at present, so they will definitely not let you go easily."

Du Zhenglun hurriedly said, "I am willing to resign and retire."

"I am also willing to go back to my hometown to cultivate the fields." Liu Xiangdao followed.

Obviously the two have discussed it.

Du Zhenglun was originally a minister of the Eastern Palace. He was demoted to Xiangzhou only because he told Li Shimin what he said to him that he wanted to depose Li Chengqian.

Now that Li Chengqian, who has been re-sitted as the crown prince, has been transferred back to Chang'an to be the Minister of Personnel, he has made up his mind to follow Li Chengqian in this life. At this time, he is naturally willing to exchange his official position for the silence of the situation so as to ensure that Li Chengqian has firmly served as the crown prince.

Li Chengqian waved his hand with a smile and said, "You two are overthinking. If the Lone King pushes you out to be a scapegoat and temporarily calms this matter, what will happen in the future? Will these problems not be solved?"

Du Zhenglun said confidently: "Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry too much. Just wait for your prince to be the leader and then eliminate the accumulated problems of the court."

"That's right!" Liu Xiang also said.

"It's wrong again!" Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Your Majesty is not a foolish lord, and the Lone King cannot be considered incompetent. If you can't solve this problem when the Lone King and his father are here, do you think you can deal with the gentry in the world by just relying on the Lone King himself in the future?"

As he said that, Li Chengqian stood up and walked to the table, picked up two of the two best words he looked at, and handed them to the two: "At this point, you cannot retreat, the Lone King cannot retreat, and the Tang Dynasty cannot retreat."

The two subconsciously took two pieces of paper that Li Chengqian had handed over to him, and they understood as soon as they moved.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince asked me to go to Luoyang to see Your Majesty, because I want you to convince Your Majesty?" Liu Xiangdao said excitedly.

Originally, in their opinion, if Li Chengqian wanted to take office alone, he would definitely not want to ask Li Shimin for help when something happened.

Li Chengqian nodded and asked, "Have you sent someone to pack up? The Lone King said that they had sent someone to Luoyang to deliver the memorial."

"No need to wear clothes, I'll go now." Liu Xiangdao bowed and was about to go out.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, at this moment, the Lone King promises that you will see Your Majesty first."

Liu Xiangdao was stunned when he heard this and thought to himself: I'm confused. Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and the eunuch around Li Shimin is also afraid of him.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Please give orders to the Crown Prince."

"Take your memorial and the letter written by the Lone King, and go to Luoyang to see the Secretary of the Secretariat Ma Zhou first. If you still have any difficulties, you will directly look for the Secretary of the Secretariat Liu Shi. When you see Your Majesty, you will only talk about the disadvantages of the officials entering the industry and the difficulties of promoting this matter. Don't mention anything else."

"I obey the order!"

Li Chengqian pointed at Liu Kui and said, "Take Mr. Liu to pick a few fast horses."

Liu Kui hurriedly led Liu Xiangdao out.
