"Why are you here, Jingren?" In the cemetery, Li Xiu was commanding the soldiers to bury the last batch of corpses, but he didn't expect that Cen Wenben would come here from Chang'an, which surprised him very much. After all, Cen Wenben was about to be promoted to prime minister, and he was previously appointed by Li Shimin to educate Li Chengqian at the East Palace, so he might not be able to leave Chang'an easily.

"Haha, didn't the prince-consort write a letter to His Majesty, asking for a nursing home in Luoyang? His Majesty has agreed and ordered me to go there personally to help the prince-consort get this done!" Cen Wenben replied with a smile.

However, when Li Xiu heard Cen Wenben's words, he narrowed his eyes, and then showed a smiley expression on his face. He immediately pulled him to a place without anyone else and asked in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not worth your deputy blind man to go to for him. Tell me honestly, is there anything else?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" Cen Wenben smiled bitterly at this time, then looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, and then whispered, "Actually, this time I volunteered to help the prince consort, just to leave the right and wrong place in Chang'an!"

"What does it mean? Is Chang'an very chaotic now?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he soon realized that although he had been staying in Beim Mountain and did not go out for a while, the fact that Cen Wenben could not be separated from Li Chengqian's situation of hiding in Luoyang.

Sure enough, Cen Wenben smiled bitterly when he heard Li Xiu's words: "You don't know what the prince consort is. Chang'an is not just a chaotic situation now, it can be called extremely dangerous. It is mainly because of what happened before the East Palace. Now the court is quarrel. Many people accused us, the assistant ministers of the East Palace, for not fulfilling their responsibilities. Even high-respected scholars like Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda, will not be spared, let alone us."

When Cen Wenben spoke at the end, his wry smile became even stronger. Before, Li Chengqian was making a fuss in the East Palace and directed the guards in the palace to play war games with Li Yuanchang. As a result, when this incident spread, there were also quarrels in the court. Some accused Li Yuanchang, some accused Yu Zhining and Cen Wenben and other auxiliary ministers, and some directly pointed the finger at Li Chengqian. The King of Wei Li Tai also jumped up and down, and the entire court was in chaos by them.

"So that's it. Then you are here this time to take this opportunity to escape from the court so as not to be involved?" Li Xiu nodded when he heard Cen Wenben's words, and then asked again, because he felt that with Cen Wenben's personality, he shouldn't have come to him just for this reason.

"This..." Cen Wenben showed a hesitant expression. After a moment, he said again, "In fact, if it was just accusation in the court, I wouldn't care much. However, during this period, His Majesty was also very troubled by the matter of the prince. He privately summoned us, the assistant ministers of the East Palace, to discuss the education of the prince, but the result of the discussion was not satisfactory."

Li Xiu actually didn't want to pay attention to Li Chengqian anymore, but now when he heard Cen Wenben's words, he couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? What's the result? You all discussed?"

"What else can it be? Yu Zhining and others are old and stubborn. They think that the prince is so naughty, it must be because they do not have enough supervision in their daily lives, so they insist on using the old method and always keep an eye on the prince's actions. As long as they encounter something out of line, they must try their best to dissuade him. Zhang Xuansu is more radical than anyone else, and every time he gives advice, he is very sharp, and the prince can't listen at all." Cen Wenben also showed a helpless expression at this time.

"What do you mean by Jingren?" Li Xiu frowned and asked after hearing Cen Wenben's words. Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu and others didn't know how to educate others at all. They only sought their own verbal benefits. They never thought that Li Chengqian was in a rebellious period now. The more ruthless they forced him, the greater the rebound of Li Chengqian, and sooner or later they would force Li Chengqian to lose his mind. In fact, Li Chengqian is not far from losing his mind now.

"Actually, I can't say that it's what I mean. Your Majesty also thinks that Yu Zhining, Yang Xuansu and others' methods will not have much effect. But you are the prince's teacher for many years. Seeing him growing up, your Majesty really wants to hear your opinion of your Majesty. I also have the same opinion as Your Majesty, so I took this opportunity to go there, one to avoid the limelight, and the other to ask the prince's consort for advice!" Cen Wenben finally told his true intention of coming here.

"I have resigned, no longer done. Jingren, you should understand what I mean?" Li Xiu smiled bitterly at this time. The biggest reason why he resigned was that he did not want to pay attention to the court anymore. To be precise, it was something related to Li Chengqian, but he did not expect that he had escaped for a year and was finally caught by Li Chengqian's affairs.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Cen Wenben also showed an embarrassing expression. However, when he thought of Li Chengqian's current appearance and before he came, Li Shimin told him to ask Li Xiu a solution, so he finally shamelessly said: "Your Majesty and I also know the feelings of the prince consort, but the prince's relationship is very important. Your Majesty really doesn't want to watch the prince degenerate, so please ask the prince consort to see your majesty's desirable son and help your majesty think of a solution!"

When Cen Wenben spoke at the end, his eyes also showed a sincere look. The reason why he was so concerned about Li Chengqian's affairs was not just for Li Chengqian, but for the country and country of the Tang Dynasty, because if Li Chengqian's position as the prince was unstable, it would likely cause greater turmoil. After all, as long as the dispute over the throne was involved, it would definitely end up in blood. He did not want the great situation that the Tang Dynasty finally got, because of this matter.

Li Xiu could also understand Cen Wenben's idea. In fact, he was so unwilling to let go of Li Chengqian before, and he was worried that the Tang Dynasty would be unstable due to the struggle for the position of crown prince. Unfortunately, Li Chengqian repeatedly rejected his kindness again and again, which made Li Xiu discouraged. In addition, he and Li Chengqian were too involved, so he simply resigned from his post to avoid being implicated in the future. However, he did not expect that he could not hide from him.
