When did Yu Tai see the person who dared to point at the prince with a halberd, he was stunned, and his right hand had already subconsciously raised the horizontal knife. As long as the prince gives an order, he must cut off the head of this unlucky county order. He was used to killing people on the battlefield before, and he could guarantee that the blood of this little official would not be spilled at the feet of the prince, and his head would fly in front of the kneeling servants.

The guards who led the relatives also gritted their teeth and glared at He Shou, this person actually wants to impeach His Royal Highness the Prince? I really don't know whether to live or die!

Compared with the irritable guards, Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng were much calmer.

Looking at He Shouji's angry appearance pointing at the prince, Wei Zheng stroked his beard, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It's rare to meet someone with the right temper, such an official can indeed benefit one party when he is a county magistrate, but his fiery character is also very useful in the court. He is facing the emperor all day long, and he must not think about things like having a successor.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, not angry.

He Shou's trembling and anger were not fakes, and when he found out that it was the prince who stopped him, he was indeed afraid. The fate of offending the prince is not something that he, the county commander, can bear, let alone those officials and the people. Storming the royal ranks, the crime is the same as assassination, even if it is convicted according to the assassination, no one will say anything. In order to protect the people behind him, he fell to his knees and was extremely humble.

But when he learned that the farm was indeed established by the prince, he stood up again, ignored the more than 500 horizontal knives in front of him, and dared to roar at the prince in front of him. It is conceivable that such a person will not flinch a little even in the face of the emperor.

For people with hard necks, such as Wei Zheng, Li Chengqian is actually quite annoying. But looking at He Shou in front of him, he couldn't hate it anyway. Compared with some village directors and village branch 233 books who stretched out their hands indiscriminately in later generations, He Shou is the real parent official.

Waving his hand to make Yu Tai and the others put away their horizontal knives, Li Chengqian squatted down, trying his best to keep his sight level with He Shou.

"He County Order, do you know that there is a deep meaning in raising these chickens and ducks in solitary range? As for what he wants to do, I can't tell you clearly, you just need to remember that doing it alone is actually for the good of the people. ”

"Humph! Your Highness, in this case, do you think Your Majesty will believe it? Whatever you're for, it's a fact that those chickens and ducks are influencing people's farming. Don't think that the lower officials are joking, if you don't listen to the lower officials' advice, the lower officials will definitely go to the court! ”

The impassioned He Shou's righteous and stern words made the people and officials kneeling in the rear burst into tears. Having such a blue sky lord is a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.

Wei Zheng pinched his beard and couldn't help but interject: "He County Order, old man Wei Zheng, can testify for the prince, this matter, you are indeed wrong, the prince does this, it is absolutely reasonable." ”

Being unreasonable is a common disease of people.

Hearing Wei Zheng's self-report, He Shou still didn't think about it and said: "Doctor Wei, the lower officials have heard that you are a rare upright minister in the court, why are you talking nonsense with your eyes open now?" If you don't believe me, go into the field. The ducks and geese are better, and the chickens with the most will always dig a big hole in the soft soil that the people have turned over. Ordinary people who are counting on the land harvest to survive, the loss is distressing at all! ”

Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian glanced at each other helplessly, and they didn't know what to say.

The matter of the locust plague, as the county commander of this guy, is not qualified to know. Don't talk about this, there's really no reason to give it to him.

Seeing the embarrassed look on the prince's face, Yu Tai couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, it's just a small county order, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as him, let's go, if he dares to stop and say half a word, the last general will cut him with a knife, and as long as he says afterwards that he leads people to impact the car, it will be light." ”

You can't talk normally with a general, especially a person like Yu Tai who has muscles in his head.

There is no need to continue the conversation, a person like He Shou who admits death, unless he puts the truth in front of him, he will not agree.

Clapping his hands, Li Chengqian stood up and said to He Shou: "Gu still has to rush back to the East Palace, so I won't say anything more to you." You just need to know that this matter is absolutely justified. As for how to verify, you will understand after two or three months. Now, take your people out of the way, and you know what it is to block and ram the prince's car. ”

With that, he got back into the carriage.

Wei Zheng smiled helplessly and drilled back. It's just that the name of He Shou, the county magistrate of Wannian County, was remembered by him.

The guards returned to their original formation, and the carriage at the head of the carriage began.

The people and officials who were kneeling on the ground quickly stood up and moved out of the way.

He Shou stood next to the convoy, stunned. By the time the convoy passed, he was covered in dust.

After a long time, he turned around, spat at the tail of the team, and said angrily: "Prince, let's see you in the palace!" ”

Stubborn people will not compromise easily, this truth, Li Chengqian knows this very well, so when Wei Zheng was worried about him, he could only say: "Zheng Gong, let's do things, when we can't tell the truth if we have hardships, we have to weigh the pros and cons." If it's something worth doing, what if it's a matter of criticism? Anyway, now I think that compared with being impeached by He County's order, it is still important to raise chickens and ducks and eat more locusts. ”

Wei Zheng said worriedly: "However, have you ever thought that although you are only nine years old now, you can use your young age as a shield, but the core of this matter is that you are not sympathetic to the people!" In this world, the only people who can stand directly opposite the emperor without falling behind are the people. The only people who can directly smash your position as prince are the people. No matter how many glutinous moon cakes you give, no matter how hard you study and practice martial arts, and stand on the opposite side of the people, even the Yan brothers can only draw a line with you. ”

Regarding Wei Zheng's worries, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and didn't care too much.

Now these people just think that chickens and ducks are free-roaming and destroying their crops, but when the locust plague rises, they don't think so. As long as they thought about the locust plague, these people, including He Shou, felt guilty in their hearts, and they had expectations in their hearts.

People are like this, when others are ashamed of themselves, they will not be angry, they will feel very happy.

Wei Zheng also knew that when the locust plague appeared, all voices against the prince would disappear. But before that, the prince will suffer a lot of criticism!

The carriage crushed the afterglow of the setting sun and stopped in front of Wei Zheng's house.

After getting out of the car, he reached out and took the fat chickens that were tied up by the five flowers from the guards, Wei Zheng smiled, and said to Li Chengqian, who poked his head out: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the right to rest assured, if someone really makes trouble in the court, the old man will come forward to help you." ”

Li Chengqian smiled, thanking Wei Zheng for his help.

On the way back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian deliberately drove the carriage to Changshoufang for a walk.

The county government of Chang'an County is located in Changshoufang, and Chang'an County, including Chang'an, can be said to be the most beautiful county in the world.

As expected, outside the county government of Chang'an County, a lot of people also gathered. Don't think about it, it's also because of the problem of free-range chickens and ducks that are keeping up with the situation.

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the treatment of ordinary people has not been ordinarily good. Every year at the time of the autumn harvest, there will be a lot of wind watchers and imperial historians who are ordered to wander the countryside. As long as the people have disputes with the landlords, these officials will stand on the side of the people without conditions. And the people in Chang'an County, the closest to Chang'an, are even more arrogant. As long as it involves cultivated land, let alone the landlords, the officials dare to resist.

As for the prince behind the farm, who cares about him, there will definitely be a master of Qingtian who will come out to administer justice to himself.

Bypassed the Longevity Square and returned to the East Palace.

The Chongwen Pavilion had already finished school, and now the two old gentlemen were chatting in the prince's study, seemingly happily.

Seeing that Li Chengqian's face was not very good, Li Gang directly asked the reason, and when he learned the whole story, the old gentleman's eyes were not very good-looking.

Not to mention a group of people, even if a common person stands up and argues with the prince, the impact of this matter will become very bad.

"Boy, even if the people will understand the truth after the locust plague rises, how many people do you think they will confess their mistakes to you? In other words, if you really eat something because of this, it's not worth it. The stupid people in the world are those who are willing to sacrifice their own interests to help others, and the most stupid ones are the ones who are not good in the end. On the contrary, it is a selfish bastard who can live happily in this world. You're so smart, how could you do such a stupid thing. ”

Although Yu Shinan is only sixty years old, in front of Li Gang, he can say whatever he wants. After this period of understanding, he also fell in love with the intelligent prince.

Li Chengqian sat down, drank a cup of tea in one go, arched his hand and said, "Mr. Yu, what you said is very reasonable, but we all know that we will suffer losses, and if we don't do good things instead of doing good things, what will become of the world in the end?" The so-called good deeds must first come from a kind heart. If it is a good deed without kindness, it is called calculation, and it is shameful. So, this time, if you suffer a little loss, you will suffer a little. The disciple is still very confident in the goodness of people's hearts. ”

Yu Shinan and Li Gang glanced at each other and laughed at the same time.

Originally, they were worried that the prince would change his mind because of such a thing, but now it seems that they are worried in vain.

Patting the prince on the shoulder, Yu Shinan left the study humming a little song. He is different from Li Gang, Li Gang is qualified to live in a certain palace, but he can only live in the Chongwen Pavilion.

One night passed, and the next day, everything was as usual, and nothing happened. But in the evening, Li Chengqian received an order from the emperor to go to court tomorrow.

If it is inferred according to the normal procedure, today, the two county decrees have almost been submitted to the emperor's desk.

Li Gang, who was having dinner together, said to Li Chengqian with a smile after seeing that the eunuch who had passed on the order had left: "Look, trouble is coming so soon." What do you think? Boy, do you have faith? If not, how about the old man accompany you to the court tomorrow? ”

Li Chengqian swallowed a mouthful of chicken and said indifferently: "It's just impeachment, it's not a big deal, although the disciple doesn't have the ability to spit on his own, he won't be smoked by what they say." ”

Li Gang nodded and said nothing more.

Just as Li Chengqian said, impeachment is not a big deal. The crown prince, although he is the next emperor, has no real power in his hands, and the prince is just an identity. Even the current emperor is always impeached, so what can the crown prince do? This means that he is still young, and if he is a little older, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of impeachment proceedings every day.

After all, impeachment is not a big deal for the officials on the table. Those who have been impeached will be encouraged if they have changed their ways. The entire court has to pay attention to real evidence to impeach others, and I am afraid that Wei Zheng is the only one.

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian first told a guard to wait for Li Jing and Niu Jinda at the Mingde Gate, and then took a carriage to the gate of the Chengtian Gate to wait for the court.

The court is different from the big court, only some officials who are on the table and a few top bigwigs will appear in the court. Therefore, outside the Chengtian Gate, there are actually not many people waiting.

Wearing a court uniform, standing at the door and being blown by the wind, Wei Zheng was the only one.

The wind was still quite strong this morning, so Li Chengqian had no choice but to open the car door and invite Wei Zheng in.

If it was usual, Wei Zheng would not refuse, but now that he was in front of the court, he was unwilling to go to the prince's car, which was unseemly.

But he was not a fool in the end, Wei Zheng stood on the leeward side of the carriage and leaned on the carriage to talk to Li Chengqian.

"Yesterday, the old man listened to a few of his subordinates discussing how to behave well today, and I don't know how the news leaked, and today there are more officials who watch the excitement. You have been impeached for the first time since His Majesty ascended the throne. Well, what the old man said the day before has been fulfilled today. ”

Li Chengqian handed Wei Zheng a cup of hot tea, and said indifferently: "Anyway, it's just a matter of moving their mouths, can these people still scold their mother?" I don't bother to pay attention to it, I have already thought about how to deal with it, and I came here today just to see how many people are unhappy with me. ”

Hearing that the prince had a way to deal with it, Wei Zheng smiled and didn't say anything more. If it weren't for the fear that Li Chengqian would not be able to cope with the situation in the court, he would not have appeared here today.

Soon after, the palace gate opened, and Li Chengqian took the lead without giving in, ignoring the pointing and pointing of some officials in the rear, and walked straight towards the Lizheng Palace.

Today is different from the past, after entering the main hall, Li Chengqian saw the emperor's father who was very interested on the throne.

That's right, it's just very interesting, and it is estimated that today's events make him look forward to it extraordinarily.

Otherwise, he would have to wait until all the civil and military officials arrived before appearing.

After sitting down, Li Chengqian began to close his eyes and recuperate. Starting.. ..

Although I didn't scold anyone in my later life, it wasn't once or twice that I saw the rider's seniors quarrel with others. Even if the vixens of later generations have to retreat from the art of scolding, there is no reason why even these pedantic officials can't deal with it.
