The patriarchs of the clan knelt down and begged for mercy.

The ministers of civil and military affairs around Li Chengqian all knew what to expect, and when they saw this, they watched quietly one by one, wanting to stay out of the matter.

Li Chengqian was angry when he saw them like this out of the corner of his eye, and his heart was unhappy, and his face turned cold and asked, "What's going on?"

Without waiting for the stunned patriarch of the scholar clan to speak, he directly named him:

"Gao Jifu, you are also the master of the East Palace, you are here to solve the doubts of the Lone King!"

Gao Jifu's mouth was bigger than the mouth of the patriarchs of the scholar clan when he heard this, and he didn't react for a long time.

"Huh?"

Li Chengqian and the others were impatient, and let out a long hum.

Gao Jifu was taken aback, and glanced at the clan patriarchs kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they are begging His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send troops to quell the rebellion of the demon girl Cai Wenying of Song County as soon as possible. ”

Li Chengqian looked at the patriarchs of the scholar clan, his face was slightly pale, and asked, "Is that so?"

"As the high school book says, we are indeed asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible!"

Lu Quan, the patriarch of the Lu clan, hurriedly said.

Li Chengqian's expression turned to disgust when he heard this, and he looked at them and asked, "Since this is the case, why didn't you say it earlier?"

The patriarchs of the Shi clan are almost scolding, we bend down and salute, you don't even look at it, how can we talk?

Of course, this cannot be said, according to the etiquette system, they have no titles or official positions, and they have to kneel down when they see Li Chengqian. In the past, no one treated them as ordinary people, and most of the officials who met the four or five grades met each other in a polite manner, and after a long time, they themselves did not regard themselves as ordinary people.

Looking at Li Chengqian's face, he didn't dare to say this.

Seeing that they all bowed their heads and remained silent, Li Chengqian's heart was slightly refreshed, he slowly stood up, took two steps forward, and came to the patriarchs of the scholar clan.

He said indifferently: "Let's be even!" ”

The patriarchs of the scholar clan sighed in their hearts, and helped each other to stand up, Li Chengqian didn't look at them, and walked slowly forward step by step with a cane.

The ministers of civil and military affairs who stood on both sides slowly followed.

Seeing Li Chengqian's momentum, the patriarchs of the scholar clan did not dare to step forward for a while.

Li Chengqian walked to the edge of the high platform and stood still, turned around to see that the patriarchs of the Shi clan had not followed, and gently beckoned to them to come closer.

"You see that the imperial court has such loyal and mighty iron-blooded soldiers, what kind of rebellion can't be quelled?"

As soon as the patriarchs of the scholar clan took a few steps closer, they saw Li Chengqian proudly pointing to the military formation below and said loudly.

was almost vomited blood by Li Chengqian, with such a powerful army, why didn't you quell the rebellion earlier?

Let Cai Wenying's demon girl harm us?

The Zhu clan in Song County has been broken by Ma Jiu and suffered heavy losses, Zhu Yaohui planned to break the jar, and directly scolded Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people once heard that Qu Wan said to Qi Huan Gong: 'If you use virtue to Sui princes, who dares to disobey, if you use your strength, the city of Chu is a city, and the Han water is a pool, although everyone is useless. ’”

Li Chengqian was stunned when he heard this, and remembered that there was indeed such a conversation when Duke Qi Huan conquered Chu, but at that time, Qi and Chu were two warring vassal states, which was completely different from today's situation.

Li Chengqian's face suddenly sank, and he asked in a cold voice, "What's your name?" Tell King Gu, who is the Chu State and who is the Qi State today? Look at these people again, where is the loss of the virtue of the lonely king?"

"Dare to slander His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Du He, who was arrogant, took a step forward and reprimanded.

It is not surprising that Du He stood up to defend Li Chengqian, but who is the word "Diao Min" talking about?

Zhu Yaohui, who was trembling all over his body because he was frightened by Li Chengqian, was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

Li Chengqian looked at the patriarchs of the Shi clan with a gloomy face, waiting for them to come out and convict Zhu Yaohui.

The patriarchs of the scholar clan also understood what Li Chengqian meant, that is, they wanted to find a patriarch of the scholar clan to stand upright, but they knew that only when they advanced and retreated together would Li Chengqian have some scruples about them, and no one stood up to speak for a while.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and I saw the angry old man Liu panting and walking up to Zhu Yaohui, raising his black, thin and calloused palms, "popping" on both sides of the bow, and gave Zhu Yaohui four loud slaps in an instant.

"Something like a dog, how dare you slander His Royal Highness the Prince, phew!"

Old man Liu still scolded indignantly.

Old man Liu's actions immediately stunned everyone present, and even Li Chengqian didn't expect that Old Man Liu would dare to beat Zhu Yaohui in public.

After a long time, Zhu Yaohui, who was stunned, reacted, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he pointed at Old Man Liu and stammered:

"You, you, how dare you do it to me?"

The old man Liu, who beat someone, was not timid at all and said: "Phew! Pigs and dogs are not as good as things, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has saved tens of thousands of poor people in Yichuan County, if you dare to be disrespectful to His Royal Highness the Prince, my old man will fight with you. ”

As soon as Old Man Liu finished speaking, the poor people standing behind him also surrounded him, and they began to pick Zhu Yaohui one by one.

"Yes, fight with him!"

"Kill him a dog!"

……

Such a scene suddenly became chaotic, and all the ministers looked at Li Chengqian, and when they saw that Li Chengqian had always stood there calmly and did not make a sound, they couldn't help but be shocked, but they were also too frightened to make a sound, waiting for these patriarchs of the scholar clan to end.

Several poor peasants also understood at this time that Li Chengqian was going to clean up these dog-like rich people, and they didn't have to think about it to know which side to stand on.

Although a group of people didn't beat Zhu Yaohui again, but you pushed it for a while, I pushed it for a while, and some even deliberately hit other patriarchs, and all the patriarchs stumbled and couldn't stand steadily.

Lu Quan, the leader, knew that if he did not give in today, none of them would be able to leave Yichuan County, and if Li Chengqian sent their families to Lingnan and distributed their family property and land to the local people, he would ensure that Li Chengqian's ten thousand families around Luoyang would have Buddhas.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although this Zhu Yaohui bumped into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with inappropriate words, but thinking that his home was broken by traitors, his heart is burning, so forgive him this time." ”

As soon as he knelt, the other patriarchs of the scholar clan also knelt down and pleaded: "Please spare him this time, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Du He quietly stopped the poor peasants who were still beating people, and the scene immediately quieted down.

Li Chengqian looked at the patriarchs of the scholar clan with an indifferent expression, and asked in a cold voice: "His house was robbed by Cai Wenying's people, what does it have to do with King Gu?"

This is not true in any era, and the ancient Son of Heaven said that it was his duty to protect the people on behalf of the herdsmen of heaven.

Li Chengqian is the future Son of Heaven, and speaking like this is tantamount to shirking responsibility.

Sure enough, a group of clan patriarchs immediately seized the opportunity to start a counterattack.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's words are wrong, not to mention that the Zhu family in Song County is a family of scholars who have been inherited for hundreds of years, and there have been many officials who have made contributions to the country in the past dynasties, but ordinary people have been robbed by thieves, and the court should also send troops to exterminate the thieves, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince?" Lu Quan was the first to retort.
