Li Chengqian watched Zhu Suiliang walk into the crowd, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Although subduing Zhu Suiliang is not as beneficial as subduing Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou is too cunning and difficult to control, and Zhu Suiliang has strong combat effectiveness, and he can easily block a lot of untrue slanders, which will be of great use in the future.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Cen Wenwen again, and saw that he was almost scolded, so he slowly walked over and said to a few of the energetic victims who were scolding: "Okay, I already know what you think, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation." Several victims of the disaster were busy when they heard this, saluted Li Chengqian, and then retreated to the crowd.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Cen Wenwen, whose face was pale, and said, "What have you heard in Cen Zhongshu?"

Cen Wenwen blushed his face for a long time before he held back a sentence: "It's all the words of the ignorant people who scolded Liu Xun and slandered the imperial court." This was very rude, and the people around the periphery didn't understand, but the eyes of the members of the East Palace were all shining with cold light.

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to stop Hao Chujun, who was about to stand up to refute him, turned his head to look at Zhang Chengxing who was standing next to him and said, "I don't know what Zhang Shilang heard?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the people are living a very hard life." Zhang Chengxing's voice was a little low.

"Finally, someone has lived up to the hard work of the lonely king!" After a pause, he said to Cen Wenwen again: "Since Cen Zhongshu can't even understand this, you can go back." ”

As he spoke, he ignored Cen Wenwen, who was stunned, turned to face the surrounding victims and said loudly: "I will now bring the four main criminals Liu Yuan and Xiao Jue, as well as the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian, and behead them on the spot to pay respect."

"Oooh......" The surrounding victims began to cheer.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is not in accordance with the rules!" Zhang Chengxing said loudly, and the scene was chaotic, and the sound was blurred in Li Chengqian's ears.

It wasn't until Xiao Jue and the two main masters were brought up, and Xue Rengui pulled Liu Yuan, who had released Cen Wenwen to mourn Liu Xun, to the middle, and several guards from the East Palace raised their steel knives brightly, and the people standing on the periphery quieted down.

Li Chengqian finally heard Zhang Chengxing's words clearly, and then helplessly pointed to the people on the periphery and said, "Zhang Shilang told them to go." ”

Zhang Chengxing looked up and saw that the people around him were staring at the four people kneeling on the ground with hatred, and he shrunk his neck and stopped talking.

The four guards raised their swords and cut off the heads of the four men very neatly, and the blood rushed out more than a kilometer away, and the people who saw it first exclaimed in surprise and then cheered loudly.

Cen Wenwen did not leave or stop Li Chengqian from killing, but just stood there in a daze and watched all this.

After Li Chengqian killed the people, he let the victims go back to continue their work of rebuilding their homes, and then took a group of members of the East Palace back to the East Palace for dinner.

Zhang Chengxing also followed the horseback to the criminal department.

Only Cen Wenwen followed Liu Xun's funeral procession out of Chang'an City, and then watched Liu Xun's coffin be buried.

Cen Wenwen sent Liu's family back, and stood alone on the wasteland opposite Liu Xun's lonely grave.

Although it has been eight or nine days since the snow disaster, the weather has been very cold these days, and the snow on the wilderness has not yet melted.

Cen Wenwen looked up at the snow in the distance, looked down at Liu Xun's lonely grave in this wilderness, and silently thought about his relationship with Liu Xun in the past twenty years.

Cen Wenwen and Liu Xun were both from Jiangzhou, and there were people in their families who were officials in the Xiao Liang Dynasty, and they only came to Chang'an when the Sui Dynasty destroyed Xiao Liang.

Cen Wenwen is younger than Liu Xun, and he has always admired Liu Xun's style, both of them are high-ranking officials who have reached the prime minister's level as literary scholars, and they have taken refuge in King Wei together.

Cen Wenwen silently said to Liu Xun in his heart, now that you are not only dead but also humiliated, and you have become a lonely ghost outside the Great Wall, I must find a way to avenge you.

Cen Wenwen thought that Liu Xun was killed by Li Chengqian, and the coffin was stopped on the street and people were scolded, and he almost couldn't even be buried.

is buried now, and the poem "Official Hamster" still engraved on the tombstone, Cen Wenwen can't help but shed tears every time he looks at it.

On the way out of the city, he thought all this clearly, all this was done by Li Chengqian, what kind of people suffered? The people have always been like this, and without Li Chengqian's encouragement, so many people would not have come out to stop Liu Xun's funeral procession.

Thinking that he was being targeted by such a brutal and unkind cripple as Li Chengqian, Cen Wenwen felt uncomfortable in his back, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let a cruel person like Li Chengqian ascend to the throne in this life.

The eldest grandson Wuji was in a very good mood sitting in the spacious and warm study, Fang Xuanling was kicked out of the court by his nephew, who had always looked down on him, and he could finally return to the court.

And this time is different from before, in the past, on the state-owned Fang Xuanling, on the governance of the state-owned Wei Zheng, many times Li Shimin is more willing to follow their advice.

Now it's different, Wei Zheng is dying, and Fang Xuanling also has to follow Li Chengqian's suggestion, either go to Jiucheng Palace to retire or Luoyang to retire. As long as he is a scholar, he will have the power alone, and as for those martial artists and scholars, he can't put them in the eyes of his eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought that yesterday he had tried his best to persuade Li Shimin to listen to Li Chengqian's suggestion, and felt that Li Chengqian should thank him well.

Without his uncle, Li Shimin really didn't know what he would do yesterday, but why did Li Chengqian's temperament change so much?

If you think about it carefully, it is understandable that anyone who is frightened all day long will not be much better in temper. The eldest grandson Wuji was waiting in the study to enshrine the edict that he was the left servant of Shangshu, and his heart was sunny, and he was willing to think about the good of everything.

It's just that the more you wait for the eldest grandson Wuji, the more I feel that something is wrong, yesterday Li Shimin personally told him that he made an order early in the morning, why hasn't he come when this has passed?

Finally, when it was almost noon, the family walked in with a waiter, and the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly pretended to be reading a book, waiting for the waiter to speak.

"Grandpa Qiguo, Your Majesty, please enter the palace quickly." The chamberlain bowed.

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji heard it, he knew that something was wrong, and his good mood in the morning was gone, so he hurriedly rode to Taiji Palace.

didn't want to run into Xiao Yu at the gate of the palace, the two greeted each other, and went straight to the Liangyi Hall without saying a word.

When the two came to the Liangyi Palace, they saw that Gao Shilian, Yang Shidao, Hou Junji, Cen Wenwen, Li Shiji, Li Daozong, as well as Ma Zhou and Zhu Suiliang, who were working in the imperial city or palace, were already sitting.

After the two of them saluted and sat down, Li Shimin passed on the recital of Ma Zhou and Zhu Suiliang to them, and the eldest grandson Wuji took the content of Zhu Suiliang's recital according to what Li Chengqian said yesterday.

It turned out that Zhu Suiliang returned to the palace yesterday and thought that Li Shimin was angry, and now he will definitely not be able to recommend Cheng Mingzhen. Not to mention recommending Cheng Mingzhen as prime minister, it is difficult to say whether Li Shimin can be prevented from appointing a new prime minister.

So he went directly to Ma Zhou to tell Ma Zhou what Li Chengqian said, and Ma Zhou also felt that Li Chengqian's judgment and handling of the situation were ideal, but he also did not recommend going to see Li Shimin immediately.

It was not until early this morning that the two people came together to meet Li Shimin and explain to Li Shimin the importance of choosing the prime minister.

Li Shimin has always trusted Ma Zhou's talent, and Ma Zhou's conversation with Zhu Suiliang is not as unpleasant as Li Chengqian's speech.

Li Shimin was moved when he heard it, but he was difficult to make a decision for a while, after all, he had promised the eldest grandson Wuji to make him prime minister, so he brought all his confidants and ministers to discuss this matter.

After watching the song, the eldest grandson Wuji understood that there must be Li Chengqian's shadow in it, and the whole person was instantly filled with anger.
