"According to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian nodded and said no.

Zhang Xingcheng was obviously relieved when he saw this.

Before deciding to attack Du Zhenglun yesterday, Zhang Xingcheng thought that Li Chengqian would definitely blame himself in a short period of time, but as Li Chengqian got closer and deeper into the government, he would definitely thank him.

So he resolutely arranged for today's impeachment of Du Zhenglun.

Zhang Xingcheng also thought that Li Chengqian might retaliate against him in the near future, and thought that as long as he endured this period of time, Li Chengqian would understand.

However, Zhang Xingcheng never expected that Li Chengqian would destroy his reputation and bring shame to Zhang's ancestors and clans, which he could never afford.

If you can't bear it, you can only compromise temporarily.

But all the officials in the hall became sad and angry because of this.

Although some people don’t know what Zhang Xingcheng wants to deal with Du Zhenglun, they instinctively believe that Zhang Xingcheng is one of the prime ministers and has the power to command all officials. Li Chengqian should give him face and sacrifice Du Zhenglun, which is in line with the rules of the court’s obedience.

However, Li Chengqian did the opposite. In order to protect Du Zhenglun, he did not hesitate to use improper means to threaten Zhang Xingcheng in the court. Some ministers who claimed to be upright bowed their heads when they saw Zhang Xingcheng because of this. They really couldn't stand it and wanted to stand up and criticize Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian stood at a high place and looked down at the ministers below. Since yesterday's reform elections were blocked, Li Chengqian was in a bad mood. Today, he was even more tolerant in the attacks of Zhang Xingcheng and others, which made Li Chengqian on the verge of an outbreak at this time and wanted to find a guy with no eyes to vent his anger.

"Your Highness, as the crown prince, you should follow the example of sages and be an example of a country. How can you threaten the prime minister in this sacred and solemn court?" An old minister walked out in anger and whispered Li Chengqian.

"Nonsense! When did the Lone King threaten the Prime Minister? Which prime minister was threatened by the Lone King? Let's stand up and say it." Li Chengqian wanted to carry the rogue to the end.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince--" The old man was so angry that his beard was trembling and could not speak.

"Okay, okay!" Liu Dewei walked out and waved his hand to the old man, telling him not to say anything, and then saluted Li Chengqian and said, "I will report to the Prince, will you withdraw from the court after today's discussion?"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he glanced at the officials in the hall again, raised his feet and walked out. Liu Kui, who was standing behind him, hurriedly shouted: "Retreat the court."

"Greatly send your prince to the crown prince!"

Li Chengqian sat on his shoulder chariot and went straight to Chongjiao Hall. The Chongjiao Hall had prepared tea and breakfast for him. Li Chengqian was so angry that he only drank some water and began to review the memorials.

Generally speaking, there is no major dynasty day. In the morning, Li Chengqian convened the Shizhong, the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice and the Grand Secretary of Pingzhang Academy to the Chongjiao Hall to hold a small dynasty meeting to replace the political affairs meeting held by the prime ministers of the three provinces in Menxia Province.

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

"After a tired morning, Shangshu Liu invited me to the Menxiasheng for a cup of tea, take a break and then go back to the Ministry of Justice."

After the scattered dynasty, the officials all returned to their respective yamen, and Liu Dewei was walking and was stopped by Zhang Xingcheng.

Liu Dewei turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xingcheng, and smiled and said, "I ate some oil this morning. I was about to find a place to drink a cup of tea. I will go to your place to ask for a cup of tea before going back."

As they said that, they went to the office of the Menxia Provincial Government in Tai Chi Palace together.

The two of them came to Menxia Province, sat down after entering Zhang Xingcheng's office, and delivered tea and snacks to their own servants.

Zhang Xingcheng stepped back and looked at Liu Dewei who was raising his glass to drink tea and complained: "Brother Liu, why didn't he say a word in the hall today?"

Liu Dewei held the teacup and looked at Zhang Xingcheng helplessly and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm afraid you have been used by someone."

"ah?"

Zhang Xingcheng looked at Liu Dewei in confusion.

Seeing this, Liu Dewei had to put down the teacup and analyze it slowly for him: "Brother Zhang, the reason why you and I prevented the prince from reforming the election is because of fear of turmoil in the court, which is due to public intention."

Zhang Xingcheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this, expressing his approval of Liu Dewei's statement.

"But when we were discussing politics yesterday, we stood up to oppose this matter. Although His Highness was furious, he did not mention it today, which means that His Highness also listened to us."

Zhang Xingcheng heard this and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "We are reckless in today's affairs." He paused and then said eagerly: "Although he offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, he did not dismiss Du Zhenglun. Do you think it is still time to make up for it now?"

After saying that, he looked straight at Liu Dewei.

After a while, Liu Dewei shook his head, sighed and said with a bitter smile: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was forced to this point. How could he give up? Besides, if Du Zhenglun's plan is spread, the gentry and some miscellaneous officials in the world must also submit memorials to oppose it.

Also, from today's situation, Lu Chengqing and Zhang Wenguan are not worried. It's good to impeach anything, so how can you mention the leak of secret words in the forbidden area?"

Du Zhenglun's secret words revealed by the forbidden secret words was a thorn between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian. If Du Zhenglun's secret words revealed by the forbidden secret words, it would be equivalent to admitting that Li Shimin once wanted to depose Li Chengqian.

Now that Li Chengqian has a stable position, Li Shimin has also changed his mind. Such a thing cannot be mentioned the most, otherwise it would be to instigate the relationship between father and son of the Tian family.

Zhang Wenguan’s re-introduction of this matter is simply a ill-intention.

After hearing this, Zhang Xingcheng's face turned completely pale, and he looked at Liu Dewei and said, "I am old too. If it is not feasible, I can only resign and return home."

Liu Dewei still shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to resign. I advise you to write a memorial to your Majesty and send it to Luoyang to see what Your Majesty says?"

Zhang Xingcheng nodded in agreement after thinking about it.

Liu Dewei couldn't help but sigh when he saw his dejected look. If they hadn't jointly delivered a memorial to Li Shimin yesterday, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this matter anymore.

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

Li Shimin has been here for a month and is also planning to live in Luoyang for the New Year.

But the more I stayed, the more I felt aggrieved.

Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to come to Luoyang in Chang'an to the country's reign. When Li Shiji and Su Dingfang's two armies won a small victory in Goguryeo, he led troops from Luoyang to the east.

However, more than two months have passed, but the progress of the Eastern Expedition is still very slow.

Li Shimin issued an order to ask why, but it turned out that Li Chengqian ordered the army not to move lightly, and he had to send spies to sneak into Goguryeo to explore the mountains, rivers and terrain in Goguryeo, and report to the court for military preparations and people's livelihood.

This order was unanimously supported by the Chang'an court, and Li Shimin couldn't force the two armies to attack immediately.

Furthermore, the place where he lives now is the place where he lived when he was Ping Wang Shichong. Li Shimin had the idea of ​​cultivating the imperial palace in Luoyang since the early years of Zhenguan.

However, when he entered the Dongdu, he burned the palace built by Emperor Yang of Sui. To rebuild the palace in Luoyang, a large-scale construction would be required. The ministers firmly opposed this.

Every time he mentioned this matter, the minister must have said that His Majesty burned the palace in Dongdu because he could not stand the extravagance and waste of Sui Yang. Why do you want to build a palace in Luoyang?

This sentence made Li Shimin speechless every time he criticized this sentence.
