Although this matter is not difficult to believe, Li Yingyuan quickly wrote the memorial and immediately ordered someone to send it to Chang'an.

And in Qizhou, a strange team of people appeared.

This group of people was in turmoil, and the one in the lead was Li Chengqian, just...

At this time, Li Chengqian's image was not very good-looking. His face was originally a white one, but his nose was bruised and swollen!

How did this work?

When the flying ball landed, it was not accurate and its position was bad. So more than a dozen people in the flying ball were like rolling tests. In the narrow vine basket, they turned over more than a dozen of them before landing.

When landing, a group of people almost wanted to vomit.

Finally, when other guards searched for them, they were tired and hungry, and almost got gnawed by wild wolves in the suburbs.

The flying ball was already broken, so Li Chengqian ordered people to burn the flying ball on the spot and then rushed to Chang'an day and night.

He actually didn't know who was blown up and what happened in Xiazhou.

Even Li Chengqian felt a little regretful, because he felt that it might not be necessary for him to be wrong. This is the case with people. When they are impulsive, they feel full of energy to do anything. When they are finished, they suddenly feel that it seems that there is no point in doing this. Instead, they think that they are about to return to Chang'an. Facing the anger of their father and the doubts of the court, they can't help but feel panic.

With a worried mood along the way, I passed Qizhou safely and arrived in Chang'an immediately.

As soon as we arrived in Chang'an, a team of guards who came to hear the news came towards us under the leadership of Zhang Qian.

When Zhang Qian saw the prince, he saluted obediently.

Li Chengqian felt up and down, and calmed down and said, "How about the court now?"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is furious..."

Li Chengqian shivered immediately.

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and continued to ask: "Where is Chen Zhengtai? Is he okay?"

"The Duke of Erpigou County was under house arrest by His Majesty and is now staying in his door."

"Not dead?" Li Chengqian grinned and laughed: "What do you say in the court?"

Zhang Qian looked at Li Chengqian deeply, sighed silently and said, "You will know after your highness returns to the court."

He no longer had any expectations for Li Chengqian.

I thought that His Royal Highness's position was stable, but judging from the situation these days, things were not so simple.

He is the closest person to His Majesty, and some things can be seen clearly. His Majesty has increased his dissatisfaction with the crown prince, but he has become more pampered with Prince Li Tai. In the past few days... they are all Li Tai's attendant, accompanying the emperor.

Zhang Qian then set his eyes on Cheng Chumo behind Li Chengqian, but Cheng Chumo also looked blue and swollen, and he smiled in his heart.

I don’t know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that the entire Chang’an is now in an uproar.

"Your Majesty learned that Your Highness has returned to Chang'an and has summoned all the civil and military affairs of the court. Your Highness... please come with your slave."

Li Chengqian's heart suddenly felt like a huge rock was pressed against, as if he felt that he was about to go to the guillotine.

If the father only saw him privately, perhaps the matter was not serious, at most he would scold him severely, but suddenly he would convene him for a discussion, then the situation might develop in a worse direction.

Li Chengqian used a lot of effort to calm his mind silently, and then followed Zhang Qian to Tai Chi Palace.

...

"Your Highness is back."

In the Eastern Palace, a group of officials were excited.

Kong Yingda's face was very gloomy, and then he cheered up again. He and Lu Deming looked at each other.

These two people are both the eighteen bachelors of the current dynasty and the prince's teachers. At this moment, a big rock in their hearts fell to the ground.

But soon, they became worried again: "Mr. Lu, I have heard that His Majesty summoned His Highness the King of Yue several times."

His Highness, King of Yue, is Li Tai.

This is obviously a terrible signal.

Lu Deming and Kong Yingda looked at each other, and Lu Deming said worriedly: "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince is too much this time, Your Majesty must be extremely disappointed with the Crown Prince."

"How can I save it now?"

Lu Deming was silent for a moment before saying, "Some days ago, His Highness the Crown Prince was reading miscellaneous books, hang out with others every day, no longer reading classics and history. If you want Your Majesty to not hate the Crown Prince, it is urgent, is it..."

Lu Deming did not continue to say the following words, but Kong Yingda understood that Lu Deming is a moral master, so it is difficult to make clear what he blames others.

Kong Yingda gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, things can only be done so now. In any case, the responsibility must be put on Chen Zhengtai. The person was instigated by Chen Zhengtai, and the things recently were all from Professor Chen Zhengtai. Chen Zhengtai misled the prince, and the prince was ignorant when he was young."

After the two had an idea, Kong Yingda's brows stretched a lot and said, "I will collect all the miscellaneous books and join Mr. Lu to the court."

The bells and drums in Tai Chi Palace resounded.

Everyone in the capital had learned the news and the prince was back.

Many people are worried that their children... are they back?

Those who are qualified to become an imperial guard and can also be with the prince’s side are often close children of various families. After all, the prince represents the future.

At this time, everyone was worried, and then... began to pay attention to the wind in the court. I heard that Your Majesty summoned the King of Yue for several days, but I was afraid...

No matter what kind of thoughts anyone had, they changed into court robes and arrived at Tai Chi Palace at the same time.

...

Chen Zhengtai has compiled many letters these days, but when he sent them to Tai Chi Palace, he was a little confused. It seemed that this trick was not very useful.

He had tried his best to stay away from the door and was almost sick at home. At this time, His Majesty had to change his court uniforms obediently, go out to breathe fresh air, and then... go to Tai Chi Palace.

Chen Zhengtai was quite nervous. When he arrived outside the Tai Chi Palace, there were many people here, but a pity... no one was willing to pay attention to him. Everyone looked at him coming, as if they had encountered something terrible. They all subconsciously moved their steps and tried their best to get away from him.

He could occasionally hear others' whispers: "I'll just say that anyone whose surname is Chen is close to you will be unlucky. I never expected that this time it would be His Royal Highness..."

"Be careful."

"This is a disaster, the prince is blind..."

"Your Majesty's court today is afraid he is determined in his anger..."

Chen Zhengtai turned a deaf ear to him, but at this time someone came to him. Isn’t it his own father, Chen Jiye, who is?

Chen Jiye is a salt and iron transporter. He was worried all these days. When he approached Chen Zhengtai, he whispered: "Son, don't be afraid. I thought about it again and again. Last night, I discussed with my third uncle for a night. This matter... I can only be left to the Cheng family. They have great achievements. Cheng Yaojin has made great contributions and is also his confidant. He also has a son who married the princess. This has another layer of guarantee. Just say that all this is Cheng Chumo..."

His voice became lighter and lighter.

Seeing that Chen Zhengtai was thinking, Chen Jiye glanced at Chen Zhengtai: "Son, don't take this matter to yourself. This matter is too big and you can't bear it. Besides, the prince is making trouble, what should we do with our Chen family? You must not have anything to do."

Chen Zhengtai had no expression on his face and just nodded.

Not long after, a team of people came, and everyone looked at each other.

But when the prince changed his python robe, he looked like he was bruised and swollen. When everyone saw the prince's terrible appearance, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, the palace gate opened, and everyone ignored the others and entered one after another.

In Xuanzheng Hall, Li Shimin was already sitting upright.

When Li Chengqian heard that Li Shimin was back, he felt a little relieved.

Originally, family scandals should not be made public, but I thought that this incident caused such a big disturbance. If you pretend to be deaf and dumb, countless rumors will be spread.

Li Shimin had no choice but to bite the bullet and simply hold a court meeting.

When everyone entered the hall, Li Shimin's eyes first fell on Li Chengqian.

When he saw Li Chengqian, Li Shimin was immediately angry.

This...this...

Li Chengqian's nose and face were swollen, and there were still a few scars on his face. In fact... Li Shimin didn't feel sorry for him. He thought that he had suffered a lot of injuries in his life.

But what happened... the prince is so embarrassed?

When Li Shimin was fed, he was already angry and couldn't help but feel disappointed!

After the ministers saluted, Li Shimin said in a loud voice: "The Turks attacked my border town. I have ordered General Li Jing to lead tens of thousands of elite troops to Xiazhou to attack the thieves. Now tens of thousands of men are ready to go. The court has allocated countless money and grain for this... What I want... is to solve the border troubles in one fell swoop, but... my prince actually wants to attack the thieves, the prince... isn't it?"

After hearing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly left work: "Yes, yes."

"What is it?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be furious: "You are the prince. Even if you want to share my worries, why do you dare to be so reckless with only hundreds of soldiers? Didn't the prince go to Xiazhou? Okay, very good. I want to ask you, how many Turkic people have you attacked? Is it one or two... If you take the head of a Turkic person, I will say that you will not be in vain for this trip!"

What a person Li Shimin was? He knew that Li Chengqian would return without success.

Since Li Chengqian came back with his men intact, the only possibility is that he did not encounter Turkic people.

Because the Turks' combat methods were very simple, they were mainly cavalry. If Li Chengqian really encountered the Turks, even if they were just the Turks' scattered soldiers, after a fight, the nearby Turks would definitely come to help. At that time... don't try to get out easily.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment. He thought for a while and said, "My son... should have killed a lot, not a hundred, and not eighty."

That night, gunpowder was thrown, and the entire flying ball was directly launched into the air because it lost its load and was blown away by the wind. When Li Chengqian wanted to go back to check the results, he could no longer go back, so he had to move south and after confirming safety, he took measures to land.

But Li Chengqian felt that... the power of this gunpowder should be able to kill at least dozens of people.

Before Li Shimin could speak, the civil and military officials in this palace couldn't help but laugh.

But when they realized that they had lost their composure, they immediately silenced, looking very worried and terrified.

This was the person standing in this hall in the early Tang Dynasty, even civil officials like Fang Xuanling, who had personally gone to the battlefield and might even have even cut people down.
