The "Duke of Shen" mentioned by Li Ke is Gao Shilian, the Minister of Personnel. Gao Shilian is the uncle of the biological mother of Li Chengqian Empress Changsun, and Li Chengqian's uncle.

Gao Shilian came forward, Yu Gong, the Minister of Personnel, and the Duke of the current dynasty was serious about this matter. Gao Shilian was Li Chengqian's relative, and Li Chengqian could trust him, and would not be too afraid, and could be treated both public and private.

When Li Shimin sent Gao Shilian to Qianzhou to investigate the matter thoroughly and Gao Shilian was still on the way, Chai Lingwu sent Li Chengqian's men to Qianzhou.

Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang's conspiracy to rebel was a death sentence, so it was naturally the top secret. The person he sent was also a trusted confidant. This person was Chai Kuan, the manager of Chai Lingwu's mansion.

Although Li Chengqian was exiled, the court did not restrict Li Chengqian's freedom from death. Therefore, it was not difficult for Chai Kuan to see Li Chengqian, so he only needed to pay a visit to Li Chengqian's temporary residence.

Chai Kuan used some money and pretended to be a slave, so he sneaked into Li Chengqian's mansion and found Li Chengqian who was in the study.

"The prince's name is Cangqiu and has become more and more famous." Chai Kuan walked into Li Chengqian's study wearing the clothes of a slave, holding a tea bowl, and looked at the copybook that Li Chengqian gave, and praised softly.

When Li Chengqian heard someone coming in, he didn't think much about it at first, but just thought it was an ordinary slave. He looked up and asked, "Do you understand the words too?"

Li Chengqian said, while looking up casually, but when Li Chengqian saw Chai Kuan's face, he was stunned at first, and then his expression became solemn.

Li Chengqian knew Chai Kuan. When Li Chengqian saw Chai Kuan appear here, he asked uneasily: "You are not here to stay, why are you here?"

Chai Kuan leaned over and said, "The villain came to pay special homage to the prince by Alang."

Li Chengqian said: "I have been deposed by my father and not the crown prince. The current crown prince is my third brother. I am no different from the common people at the moment. Just call me my name."

Upon hearing this, Chai Kuan hurriedly said, "In the eyes of the villain, the prince is always the prince and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. The villain will never dare to neglect it."

Chai Kuan is the manager of Chai Lingwu's mansion, but he is just an errand. Li Chengqian knew that it would be useless to study the title with Chai Kuan, so Li Chengqian put down the pen in his hand and said to Chai Kuan: "I am now exiled, why did Chai Lingwu order you to come and find me?"

Chai Kuan said: "The villain took the prince back to Beijing by Alang's order."

"Please me back to Beijing? This is not what my father meant." Li Chengqian looked up at Chai Kuan's disguise and sneaky look. He obviously sneaked in and frowned.

Chai Kuan said: "Don't worry, Prince. Alang has already discussed with the King of Han. He will first pick up the prince and return to the capital, and then there will naturally be a way to ask the prince to stay in Chang'an with justification."

Li Chengqian was born and raised in Chang'an. He naturally wanted to return to Chang'an, but compared to returning to Chang'an, he wanted to live more. What's more, Li Chengqian had been exiled in Qianzhou, so why bother to go back to Chang'an?

Li Chengqian said angrily: "Bastard, I mean my father in Qianzhou. Why did Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang do such things without hiding it?"

Chai Kuan said: "Alang and the King of Han do not want to see the prince suffer in Qianzhou, and they can't bear it, so they ordered the villain to pick up the prince and return to the capital."

Chai Kuan is now rushing from Chang'an, and Qianzhou is in a state of closure. Chai Kuan still doesn't know the fact that Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang have already failed, and he just thinks that they may have taken down Xuanwu Gate and occupied the imperial city.

Chai Kuan thought that if he had directly told Li Chengqian about rebellion, Li Chengqian might not agree. The best way is to bring Li Chengqian back to Chang'an. When Li Chengqian was unable to ride a horse, he would naturally rebel.

However, although Chai Kuan thought well, Li Chengqian was very cautious and did not take Chai Kuan to take action first and then report this.

Chai Kuan had no choice but to say truthfully: "Your Majesty was sick during the Eastern Expedition and fainted for a while. At this time, Your Majesty had been controlled by Li Ke and Li Ji and Li Daozong. Li Ke wanted to use this to control the government. In order to rectify the chaos, Alang and the King of Han had already raised an army to defend the king."

Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard Chai Kuan's words.

Li Chengqian knew about Li Shimin's illness, but as far as Li Chengqian knew, Li Shimin had no worries about his life, so how could Li Ke colluded with Li Ji and Li Daozong control the affairs of the government? If there was no such incident, the so-called raising an army to defend the king was simply a rebellion.

Regardless of the authenticity of what Chai Kuan said, Li Chengqian did not want to get involved in the matter between Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang, but just wanted to stay away from him.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I am just a prisoner at the bottom of the line. I have no help to you. What are you looking for me?"

Chai Kuan said: "Alang and the King of Han raised an army to support the king, and he was named the prince. This time, he only waited for the prince to return to the capital. He raised his arms and called out to separatist Guanzhong and became the emperor. Isn't it beautiful to divide the rule with Li Ke from the east and west?"

Chai Kuan's words were heard, and Li Chengqian's eyes were full of horror and fear. He did not expect that Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang would use his name to rebel. If this news reached Li Shimin or Li Ke's ears, what would they think? He might not be able to wash it clearly even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Li Chengqian said anxiously: "I have no grudges and no grudges with you, why did I harm me so much and kill my life."

Chai Kuan explained: "Your Majesty is in a coma and ignores the government. As long as the prince returns to the capital and raises his arms and calls, he will succeed. If this matter is done, the prince can follow the relevant matters. This is a great fortune. Why does the prince say this?"

Li Chengqian said angrily: "You are plotting against me in the name of your rebellion. If your third brother knows, how should you view me? I can still save my life. You are going to force me to death."

Chai Kuan said: "Your Majesty is seriously ill and unconscious. Without His Majesty's protection for Li Ke, what's the point of Li Ke? As long as the prince comes forward, we will guard Tongguan, Li Ke will not be able to do anything to the prince."

In Li Chengqian's view, Li Yuanchang and Chai Lingwu's rebellion were just a way to die, but Chai Kuan thought things too simply.

Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Do you think Li Ke can have today because of his father's preference?"

Just as Li Ke understood Li Chengqian, after several defeats, Li Chengqian, who had been in Qianzhou for several years, also understood Li Ke. The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more he realized Li Ke's strength, and understood that he was not wronged in losing.

Compared to Li Shimin's favor, no prince, including Li Ke, can compare with Li Chengqian, the eldest son, but Li Ke can get to this day step by step as a concubine, and take the lead in Li Ke's courage, scheming and ability are not comparable to Li Chengqian.

When Li Chengqian was the crown prince, he was still defeated by Li Ke, not to mention now that he is relying on two mediocre talents, Chai Lingwu and Li Yuanchang?

As long as there are some choices and being enemies with Li Ke, it can be said that Li Chengqian is the thing that Li Chengqian is most reluctant to do, so Li Chengqian also made up his mind that no matter what Chai Kuan said, he would not leave Qianzhou half a step, otherwise he would definitely die and no one could save him.
