Chapter 1413 Gains and Losses
He was frightened by Li Chengqian and almost fell off the wall. Songtsen Gampo's nervousness instantly turned into anger, and he fell to the ground: "Your uncle, you are not the prince now!"
"So what? I am still King Hengshan!" Li Chengqian leaned against the door of the wing not far from the courtyard wall, waved his head to signal Songzan Gampo: "Hurry up and open the door. I am tired and need to rest."
"If you don't open, don't you pry the door?"
"Believe it or not, I'll call Songzan Gampo to rebel now, and I'll send you to prison immediately?"
"You... you scoundrel!" Songtsen Gampo's eyes twitched, and he looked at Li Chengqian silently for a moment. Finally, he finally compromised, stepped forward and pushed open the door of the room and invited him in.
"It is a last resort to entering your yard. I can't stand outside. This is not a good effect. But after entering, I didn't enter any of your rooms, so you don't have to worry about my privacy being discovered." After entering the wing room, Li Chengqian found a chair to sit down and stretched comfortably.
"What are you doing here for me? Your Highness Hengshan King!" Songtsen Gampo was too lazy to pay attention to Li Chengqian's behavior of being good at getting cheap, so he just found a place to sit down casually.
"Of course I'm looking for a place to sleep. I'm running away from home now. I'm a brother. You can't let me sleep on the street, right?"
"Don't say it's so nice. You were driven out, not running away from home!" Songtsen Gampo rolled his eyes, but did not refuse Li Chengqian to stay with him.
"It's just a different statement, why bother with you?" Li Chengqian spread his hands and looked at Songzan Gampo with a depressed look: "You are coming back so late, you are being quarantined and investigated, right?"
"What do you think? Now the whole Chang'an is in chaos, and it's almost impossible for the whole city to be martial law. What are you trying to do when you are a good prince? Those big-headed soldiers have pensions to get when they are dead, and those disabled are taken in farms. Can you jump out? Is equality really that important in your eyes?"
Songtsen Gampo's philosophy is quite in line with the ancients' thoughts. The people's views on soldiers and the people are more popular, so he cannot understand why Li Chengqian knew that such an ending would occur, but he still had to make trouble for these things.
"You don't understand!" Li Chengqian looked at Songtsen Gampo quietly: "I am not asking for equality. If all equality is the case, the Tang Dynasty will probably destroy the country."
"Actually, all I want is fairness, relative fairness."
"What you just said is right. Those big-headed soldiers are indeed given pensions when they die, and are given farms to take care of when they are injured. But no matter what, it is a life. It is not easy for a person to go from birth to adulthood. We cannot use money to measure the value of life."
"They were also born by their parents, and they were raised by their fathers for more than ten years. They fought outside for the Tang Dynasty. I cannot let them shed blood, sweat and finally shed tears. The Tang Dynasty must recognize their existence, their value, and everything they have given to this country."
Li Chengqian was a little excited, and after speaking, he almost used all his strength to shout.
Everything that was experienced on the battlefield of Goguryeo was still in front of his eyes, and the shrill wails of those disabled soldiers seemed to echo in his ears, and countless broken limbs filled his mind.
After witnessing the bloody scene on the battlefield, he could not ignore all this like those nobles. His bloody bodies made him unable to ignore the vivid faces that were not long ago.
Songtsen Gampo stopped talking. He knew that he could not change Li Chengqian's thoughts, and he had participated in countless battles and could understand Li Chengqian's thoughts.
"What do you plan to do in the future? Let's live with me?" After a long silence, when Li Chengqian's mood stabilized, Songtsen Gampo asked.
"You don't have a wife now, what's wrong with me staying with you for a few days? Is there still a woman hidden in your yard?" Li Chengqian vented the depression in his heart and felt much more relaxed, and returned to his former funny personality.
Yes, in nature, he is just a funny guy, but the identity of the prince forced him to worry about it. But now, he is just an ordinary prince, and no one will supervise his words and deeds anymore, and the true appearance has become the best description of him.
Songtsen Gampo was angry again by Li Chengqian and glared at him hatefully: "This room belongs to you, but I am not responsible for your escort residence. After all, I am not your East Palace. The place that is large can be used to run horses."
"And if you think the place is not enough, just check yourself. You gave me this yard. If you gave me a bigger house, maybe your whole family could move in."
Irony, contempt, this is Songtsen Gampo's revenge on Li Chengqian.
Without the identity of the prince and his funny sexual intercourse, Li Chengqian became much more "friendly" in the people. Otherwise, if he was still the prince, Songtsen Gampo would not have talked to him like this even if he was beaten to death.
However, Comrade Xiao Li didn't seem to feel Songtsen Gampo's sarcasm, but just looked at him with a smile: "Remember today, one day I will definitely build a big house for you, and I will live in the whole family. My god, wait, wait for me to eat you poor!"
Songzan Gampo was still a little moved at the beginning. He felt that he seemed a little impulsive just now, and he felt like he was sprinkling salt on Li Chengqian's wound. This feeling was very bad. However, when it came to the latter sentence, the guilt that had just risen in Songzan Gampo's heart instantly disappeared.
Never hope that a funny guy can be normal. A guy like Li Chengqian who has lost morality and no limit on moral integrity will definitely not attract pity.
So Songtsen Gampo left, left with depression, and secretly swore in his heart that from tonight, he would never talk to Li Chengqian again. Even if he knelt down and begged him, he would not pay attention to him, so he would let him die alone here.
...
The chaos overnight turned into the past in the bleak whiteness of the sky. After the sun rose, everything continued under the push of inertia.
Those who should go to farm also go to farm, those who should do business also need to do business, and those who should go to court still need to go to court. Although such a big thing happened last night, it is the same if there is no one in this world, and the earth will still move forward.
"Brother, come back with me. Let's go and ask my father to take it back, okay?"
"Don't be so stubborn. My father doesn't really want to punish you, but you're really out of line this time."
"Are you listening to me?"
"elder brother……!"
Li Chengqian looked at Changle, who was deeply engulfed and haggard, and patted her head gently: "Go back first, don't worry about your mother. I have my plans here, so don't worry."
"I won't go back!" Li Lizhi knocked Li Chengqian off his hand and said in anger: "If I can't take you back this time, I won't go back either. If my father wants to drive you away, then I'll drive you away together."
"Nonsense!" Li Chengqian glared at Changle: "Do you know how much my father loves you? Do you know that my mother is pregnant now? Even if you don't think about my father, you should think about my mother."
"But……"
"Nothing, but you have found me now and can go back. After you go back, you will spend more time with your mother, do you understand?" Li Chengqian did not give Changle the chance to continue and directly interrupted her.
It is rare to untie the shackles on your body. How can you do it if you don’t have fun outside? I used to be the prince, but I couldn’t do a lot of things. Now, it’s okay, King Hengshan, it doesn’t matter what I do now.
Li Chengqian wanted to do these things long ago by stealing men and dominating women, but he never had the chance. The identity of the prince made him unable to completely let go of his heart and embrace the dream in his heart.
And now..., now without the constraints of the prince's identity, I guess the old man is also in "crime" now, and even if he does anything, he will not be punished.
After all, as a deposed prince, Li Chengqian was already miserable enough. As the saying goes, killing people is just a lie. If a prince is brought to this point, those aristocratic families or gentry probably feel embarrassed to come and cause trouble for him again.
In this way..., thinking about it, Li Chengqian couldn't feel like he was leaving a water outlet.
"Brother, what are you thinking? Have you listened to me?" Changle, who had not left and kept asking Li Chengqian, finally discovered his abnormality.
"Ah? Why are you still here? Aren't you letting you go back to the palace? If you are disobedient, be careful that I will slap you in the butt!" Li Chengqian wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and raised his right hand as if he was demonstrating.
"You..." Changle was still a big girl after all, and her face turned red as soon as Li Chengqian said it. She stomped her feet hard: "Brother, you're playing outside alone, I won't care about you anymore!" After that, he rushed out of the yard of Songtsen Gampo's house, turned over and left like a red horse.
"No matter what I'm the best!" Li Chengqian muttered quietly as he looked at Changle's back as he left, but still felt a little worried about it. He couldn't help but shout behind: "Be careful, don't ride so fast, go back early, don't let my mother worry about it."
The distance was a bit far away, and with the need for confidentiality, Li Chengqian did not dare to really call out his mother, but the habitual mother brought him another big and small trouble.
Changle, who was originally riding on a horse, was depressed. When he heard the word "Mom", his eyes lit up and he immediately had an idea.
Although the word "Mom" was not available in the Tang Dynasty, when the words before and after are connected, how can Changle's intelligence not knowing that "Mom" refers to Empress Changsun?
Moreover, the key to the matter is not the word "mom". The word "old" is the key. The stinky brother dared to say that he wanted to spank in front of so many people. Changle decided to go back and complain to Li Chengqian, because he felt that Empress Changsun was a little "old".
