Chapter 524 ????? Prepare for the forced palace

When Li Chengqian was thinking about what to do when An Ying meeting later, another eunuch came in and bowed and said, "I asked His Highness the Crown Prince, Shangshu, Shangshu Du, Shangshu Xu, and Shangshu Hao to ask for a meeting."

Li Chengqian asked in confusion: Do they all know?

When Li Chengqian thought that this might be necessary for them, he shouted: "Please come into the palace quickly."

Chu Du and others heard each other looking at each other outside the hall, and knew that Li Chengqian had encountered something. They walked into the bedroom without waiting for the eunuch to come out to invite him.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"You all have a flat body."

Chu Suiliang and others tacitly did not look at Li Xiang and Wang Fangyi. Chu Suiliang stepped forward and said, "The meeting of the Crown Prince An Ying is ready. I am here to invite the Crown Prince to take the lead."

"No hurry."

Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop Chu Suiliang and signaled Liu Kui to hand the letter from Chang'an to Chu Suiliang, and continued to think of countermeasures.

Chu Suiliang took the letter and read it quickly, his face became gloomy and he passed it to others for reading it.

After reading the letter, Li Chengqian probably came up with a countermeasure and asked quietly, "What do you guys think?"

Du Zhenglun relied on following Li Chengqian as soon as possible, and said without waiting for the others to speak: "I think An Ying's conference will be postponed for several days before the crown prince arrives in Chang'an."

"No, in this way, Your Highness the Crown Prince will break his trust in tens of thousands of soldiers." Chu Suiliang immediately opposed.

"But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewarded him at the Anying Conference, wouldn't it be confirmed that he would use the gold of the people to win people's hearts?" Hao Chujun also spoke.

After hearing this, Chu Suiliang said slowly, "Then we must hold the Anying Conference first. The rewards can be less, but the Anying Conference cannot be postponed."

When Du Zhenglun and Hao Chujun heard this, they thought about the feasibility of Chu Suiliang's compromise.

Li Chengqian looked at the four people and said lightly: "The Anying Conference has nothing to do with the gold of Huichang Gold. Even if we reward the people less, we may not be able to understand it. But how could Changsun Wuji and his gang miss this opportunity to discredit the Lone King?"

Chu Suiliang and others couldn't help but think, yes, if the general misunderstanding might be able to be explained clearly, it would be difficult for someone to deliberately slander it clearly, and the three of them were in a deadlock for a moment.

Li Chengqian was very happy when he looked at it, and still said with a calm face: "Xu Aiqing has not spoken, but what are the best solutions?"

Xu Jingzong looked at Li Chengqian and knew that Li Chengqian wanted to use him again, so he looked loyal and honest and said, "Only the current plan is to explain it clearly to the world and then try to make up for the deficit."

After hearing this, the other three felt that Xu Jingzong said it was equivalent to not saying it, and they still thought about countermeasures, but listened to Li Chengqian: "In this way, several Qing families jointly wrote the story of His Majesty's forced gold to build a golden platform for the sake of immortality, and the opera was announced to the world."

Chu Suiliang was shocked and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince must not be allowed. In this way, the Crown Prince will take the initiative to promote His Majesty's scandal. Changsun Wuji and others will inevitably take the opportunity to slander His Majesty the Crown Prince's unfilial."

"Son is the father hidden, and the minister hides the king. As a son, His Highness, the crown prince, cannot disclose His Majesty's mistakes to the world!" Hao Chujun hurriedly advised.

The upper class knew the wrong things Li Shimin did in Chang'an City, but no one dared to let them tell them.

There are only two situations in the past dynasties that have revealed the emperor's fault to the world. One is the edict of guilt written by the minister when the emperor passed away, and the other is the edict written when he raised an army and rebelled, such as the famous "Edict of Wu Zhao".

Now that Li Shimin is still sitting firmly on the throne, Li Chengqian asked them to tell Li Shimin's fault to the world, which really scared these people.

"well!"

Li Chengqian sighed after hearing this. In the hall, except for Wang Fangyi and Li Xiang, they all looked at Li Chengqian waiting for him to speak. Li Chengqian glanced at Li Xiang and said righteously: "There is a saying among the people that is 'father's debt and son repays the debt.' In fact, the Lone King had already prepared gold and was already transported to Guanzhong. If Changsun Wuji had not used this to slander the Lone King, how could the Lone King want to disclose His Majesty's mistakes?"

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian looked directly at Chu Suiliang and said, "Now Changsun Wuji wants to use this to ruin the world. Can the Lone King fulfill his wishes?"

Chu Suiliang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Li Chengqian turned his eyes to Du Zhenglun, Hao Chujun, and Xu Jingzong, and the three of them were silent.

Li Chengqian smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Since several beloved ministers cannot share the worries of the Lone King, then do what the Lone King said."

Chu Suiliang and others were still hesitant. You should know that they had accepted Li Chengqian's title of official position. Now that they turned around and scolded Li Shimin, they would really become two ministers of the rebels.

Li Chengqian looked at these people and sneered in his heart: At this time, I still want to please both sides, can I set up the archway of the White Lotus?

Li Chengqian stood up and walked to several people and said hesitantly: "It would be too much if you only announce your Majesty's mistakes. Fortunately, the Lonely King has prepared gold to pay off his debts. The Lonely King has received his Majesty's teachings since he was a child and put the world first. It can be seen that the Majesty is not useless. When you write articles, you may write more about the kindness and filial sons of the Lord's father, so that everyone in the world knows that the Lord is outside, and that Your Majesty has been deceived by villains..."

When Chu Suiliang and others saw that Li Chengqian became more and more shameless, they lowered their heads and kept silent.

"... Maybe my dear business is heavy and I can't take time to write, so the Lone King will invite students from Luoyang to write."

Chu Suiliang and Du Zhenglun were about to agree, but Li Chengqian continued: "But the students in Luoyang are so slight, and the people in the world may not believe what they wrote, so they still need to sign their names."

A few people heard that there were ten thousand divine beasts running by in their hearts... It would be better to hold the writing by themselves.

Seeing that they didn't say anything about this, Li Chengqian felt a little displeased and said directly: "Since the four dear ministers have no objection, then do this."

As he said that, he turned around and said to Li Xiang, "Li Xiang, go to Luoyang students and tell them how to write."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, absolutely not!"

Chu Suiliang hurriedly stopped Li Xiang in front of him and refused to let him go out.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian was furious and asked in a cold voice: "Why?"

"I'm afraid that your Majesty will be dissatisfied with His Royal Highness in this way." Hao Chujun hurriedly said.

Li Chengqian looked at several people with expressionless face, and said in a cold voice: "You have been in the center for a long time. When you know how dangerous the Tang Dynasty is now?" After that, Li Chengqian continued without waiting for them to answer: "The treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and tens of thousands of triumphant troops are idle in Luoyang. If you are not careful, the world will be in chaos. How much did the Lone King endure to prevent the creatures in the world? Is it wronged that you do such a little thing?"

Chu Suiliang became more and more dissatisfied when he heard this, and he thought to himself: As the prince, the future emperor should consider the people of the world, and as a son and minister, he should preserve the reputation of the king and father... Although he did not say this, he still blocked Li Xiang's way and knew that he still disagreed. Chu Suiliang did not move like this.

Li Chengqian was so angry that he gritted his teeth and continued to shout: "Donald Wei Wenzhen was in charge of the Prince Yin's Xuanwu Gate and then surrendered to Your Majesty. Is it because of their family's glory and wealth? Or his eternal reputation? It's not!

Isn’t it that the world is stable and the people are safe?

You guys, seeing the traitor slander the Lone King and inciting the people to oppose the Lone King, the world is in chaos, and they still care about their reputation of loyalty and filial piety? Are you happy when the world is in chaos?"

Since Li Chengqian traveled through time, he has been angry with these ministers a lot. It is obviously beneficial to everyone, but these people are always timid because they cherish their feathers. At this time, they still want to preserve their reputation for Li Shimin, which is simply unreasonable.

When Xu Jingzong saw that Li Chengqian was so angry, he said this, so hesitated and walked over to Chu Suiliang and bowed to the end: "I am confused. After listening to His Highness the Crown Prince's teachings, I realized the righteousness. I am willing to sign my name."

Li Chengqian ignored him and turned to look at the remaining three people and asked, "Where are you?"

Hao Chujun hesitated and bowed: "I am willing to sign."

Chu Suiliang and Du Zhenglun looked at each other and saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes. They were both promoted by Li Shimin. Now, in order to help Li Chengqian disclose Li Shimin's mistakes, maybe Li Chengqian will improve his relationship with Li Shimin and deal with them in the future.

But at present, Changsun Wuji cannot be allowed to continue spreading rumors about Li Chengqian, otherwise there will be a big chaos in the world.

"I am willing to sign."

Chu Suiliang was still hesitating, but Du Zhenglun spoke first.

"What do you think Chu Aiqing?" Li Chengqian continued to force Chu Suiliang.

"I am willing to sign."

Before Li Chengqian nodded, Li Xiang was about to go out to find Luoyang students. When Chu Suiliang saw it, he quickly stopped Li Xiang again and said to Li Chengqian: "I want to preside over the compilation myself."

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Xiang and nodded, "This is up to Chu Aiqing."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Suiliang bowed again and slowly withdrew.

The other three people also quit when they saw each other.

...

...

"Why must my father use them?" Li Xiang said to Li Chengqian dissatisfiedly when he saw several people going out.

Li Chengqian did not answer but glanced at Wang Fangyi. Wang Fangyi hurriedly bowed and said, "I will leave."

Li Chengqian hurriedly raised his hand to stop Wang Fangyi and said, "Fang Yi doesn't need to avoid it, this is not something that can be told."

Wang Fangyi stopped hearing this, and Li Chengqian looked at the two of them and asked solemnly: "Do you know the consequences of telling the world your Majesty the wrong way?"

The two were stunned when they heard this and shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian continued, "The Emperor is a saint on earth. There must be no stain on His Majesty in the hearts of the people of the world.

Many ministers wished to say the most unpleasant words to His Majesty when they advised His Majesty, but they would never say to the people that His Majesty had no words. He would cover up any wrong things His Majesty had done.

This is not for the emperor's personal purpose but for the stability of the world. Only when the people believe that the emperor is the most benevolent and saint will they believe in the court. Even if they are bullied by small officials, they believe that this is only a matter of time and place. The emperor and the court will eventually make the decision for them.

Once the emperor’s mistakes are made public, if the emperor does not abdicate, he can only kill the person who made public his mistakes, and then tell the world that the emperor made public his mistakes have deceived the people of the world.”

Wang Fangyi's face turned pale when he heard this, and Li Xiang said angrily: "Grandpa Emperor is old and was deceived by villains..." The meaning of the words Li Shimin should have abdicated long ago.

Li Chengqian did not let him say the following words. In fact, Li Chengqian had a deeper consideration. When Li Shimin forced Li Yuan to abdicate, it was the military general Yuchi Gong who took the lead in forcing Li Yuan. He returned to Chang'an to force Li Shimin to abdicate, hoping to let the world-famous Chu Suiliang take the lead in...

"But your Royal Highness, you are in Luoyang now and cannot return to Chang'an in time, will the court lose its prestige and cause chaos in the world?" Wang Fangyi said after thinking.

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "We must move westward to Chang'an as soon as possible."

After saying that, Li Chengqian's mood was almost adjusted and he set off to preside over the An Ying conference.
