"Just according to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Chengqian nodded.

Zhang Xingcheng was obviously relieved when he saw this.

Before deciding to attack Du Zhenglun yesterday, Zhang Xingcheng also thought that Li Chengqian would definitely blame himself in a short period of time, but as Li Chengqian's contact with the government became deeper and deeper, he would definitely thank him.

So he did not hesitate to arrange for Du Zhenglun to be impeached today.

Zhang Xingcheng also thought that Li Chengqian might retaliate against him in the near future, thinking that as long as he endured this period of time, Li Chengqian would understand.

But Zhang Xingcheng never thought that Li Chengqian would destroy his reputation and disgrace the ancestors of the Zhang family, which he could never afford.

If you can't afford it, you can only compromise temporarily.

But all the officials in the hall were grieved and indignant because of this.

Although some people still don't know why Zhang Xingcheng wants to deal with Du Zhenglun, they instinctively think that Zhang Xingcheng is one of the prime ministers and has the right to command hundreds of officials, so Li Chengqian should give him face and sacrifice Du Zhenglun, which is in line with the rules of humility in the court.

However, Li Chengqian did the opposite, and in order to protect Du Zhenglun, he did not hesitate to threaten Zhang Xingcheng with subordinate means in the court, and some ministers who claimed to be upright saw that Zhang Xingcheng bowed his head because of this, and they really couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to stand up and criticize Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian stood on a high place and looked down at the ministers below, and since yesterday's reform election was blocked, Li Chengqian has been in a bad mood. Today, in the face of the attacks of Zhang Xingcheng and others, he repeatedly tolerated it, which made Li Chengqian on the verge of an outbreak at this time, and wanted to find a guy who was not long-eyed to vent his anger.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as the prince of a country, you should imitate the sages in your speech and deeds, and set an example for a country, how can you threaten the prime minister in this sacred and solemn court?" An old minister came out chirping angrily, and squirted Li Chengqian as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Nonsense! When did the Lone King threaten the Prime Minister? Which prime minister was threatened by the lone king, and stood up and said. "Li Chengqian wants to carry out the scoundrel to the end.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—" The old man's beard trembled, and he couldn't speak.

"Alright, alright!" Liu Dewei walked out and waved his hand at the old man to signal him not to speak, and then saluted Li Chengqian and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi, is it necessary to retreat from the court at this point in today's discussion?"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he glanced at the hundreds of officials in the hall again, raised his feet and walked out, and Liu Kui, who was standing behind him, hurriedly said loudly: "Retreat." ”

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian sat on his shoulders and went directly to the Chongjiao Palace, where tea and breakfast had already been prepared for him.

Under normal circumstances, on the days when there was no great dynasty, in the morning Li Chengqian would summon the servants of Menxia Province and the six Shangshu and the scholars of Pingzhangyuan to hold a small court meeting in the Chongjiao Palace, so as to replace the original political affairs hall meeting held by the prime ministers of the three provinces in Menxia Province.

---------------------------------------------------

"After a tiring morning, Liu Shangshu invited him to Menxia Province to drink a cup of tea, take a break and then go back to the Criminal Department."

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the officials all returned to their respective yamen, and Liu Dewei was walking and was stopped by Zhang Xingcheng.

Liu Dewei turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xingcheng, so he said with a smile: "I ate some oil this morning, and I was looking for a place to drink a cup of tea at this time, so I went to your place to ask for a cup of tea and then went back." ”

Saying that, the two went to the Provincial Government Office under the door in the Taiji Palace together.

The two came to Menxia Province, entered Zhang Xingcheng's office and sat down, and their own servants brought tea and snacks.

Zhang Xingcheng stepped back from the left and right, looked at Liu Dewei, who was raising his glass to drink tea, and complained: "Brother Liu, why didn't you say a word in the hall today?"

Liu Dewei held the teacup, looked at Zhang Xingcheng and smiled helplessly: "Brother Zhang, I'm afraid you have been used." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Xingcheng looked at Liu Dewei puzzled.

Seeing this, Liu Dewei had to put down the teacup and slowly analyze him: "Brother Zhang, the reason why you and I prevented the prince from reforming the selection method was because he was afraid of turmoil in the imperial court, and it was out of a public heart. ”

Zhang Xingcheng nodded again and again when he heard this, saying that he agreed with Liu Dewei's statement.

"However, when we discussed politics yesterday, we stood up against this matter, and although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious this morning, he did not mention it, which shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also listened to us to some extent."

Zhang Xingcheng heard this and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Today's matter is that we are reckless. After a pause, he said eagerly: "Although I offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, I did not remove Du Zhenglun, do you think it's too late to make up for it now?"

After that, he looked straight at Liu Dewei.

Liu Dewei shook his head after a while, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's difficult, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is forced to such a situation today, how can he give up?" Moreover, when Du Zhenglun's plan spreads, the world's corporal clan and some miscellaneous officials must also oppose it.

Also, judging from today's situation, Lu Chengqing and Zhang Wenqian don't seem to be worry-free people, it's okay to impeach anything, how to mention the leakage of forbidden Chinese secret words. ”

Du Zhenglun's leakage of the forbidden Chinese secret language is a thorn in the gap between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian. If you admit that Du Zhenglun leaked the secret words of the forbidden China, it is equivalent to admitting that Li Shimin once wanted to abolish Li Chengqian.

Now that Li Chengqian's position is stable, and Li Shimin has also changed his mind, such a matter cannot be mentioned again, otherwise it will be to provoke the relationship between father and son in the heavenly family.

Zhang Wenjun's re-mention of this matter is simply harboring evil intentions.

Zhang Xingcheng's face turned completely pale after hearing this, and he looked at Liu Dewei and said: "I am also old, if it is not feasible, I can only resign and return to my hometown." ”

Liu Dewei still shook his head and said: "It's not that easy to resign, I advise you to write a letter to Your Majesty asking for guilt, and send it to Luoyang to see what Your Majesty has to say, right?"

Zhang Xingcheng thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Liu Dewei couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw his dejected appearance, if it weren't for the two of them jointly sending Li Shimin a note yesterday, he wouldn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.

------------------------

Luoyang is here, Li Shimin has lived here for a month, and he is preparing to live in Luoyang for the New Year.

But the more I lived, the more I felt aggrieved.

The purpose of Li Shimin to let Li Chengqian come to Luoyang in Chang'an was to wait for Li Shiji and Su Dingfang's two-way army to conquer Goguryeo and win a small victory, and he directly led his troops from Luoyang to the east.

However, more than two months have passed, and the progress of the Eastern Crusade is still very slow.

Li Shimin issued an order to inquire about the reason, but it turned out that Li Chengqian ordered that the army should not move lightly, and that spies must be sent to infiltrate Goguryeo first, so as to explore the terrain of the mountains and rivers in Goguryeo, and report to the imperial court on the situation of the government's armament and people's livelihood before making a decision.

This order was unanimously supported by the Chang'an court, and Li Shimin could not force the two armies to attack immediately.

Moreover, the place where he lives now is still the place where he lived when he was in the past, and Li Shimin had the idea of repairing the palace in Luoyang from the early years of Zhenguan.

However, when he entered the eastern capital, he burned down the palace built by Emperor Yang of Sui, and if he wanted to rebuild the palace in Luoyang, he had to build a large number of buildings, and the ministers resolutely opposed this.

Every time he mentioned this matter, the minister must have said that His Majesty burned down the palace in the eastern capital because he couldn't see Sui Yang's extravagance and waste, and now why did he want to build a palace in Luoyang?

Li Shimin, who was stunned every time, was speechless.
