Chapter 337: Take Control of Taiji Palace
When Li Chengqian and the others walked out of the Manna Palace, it was already completely dark.
Li Chengqian looked up at the starry sky in the deep blue sky, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Chengqian was really afraid that Cheng would bite him and take him down, so that even if Li Shimin woke up again, he would suffer a huge blow.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess specially ordered the slave maid to bring you a change of clothes, do you want to find a place to change clothes first." The old ghost standing beside Li Chengqian said quietly.
Although Li Chengqian took off his armor after entering the city, it was hot now, and it was very hot in Li Shimin's dormitory just now.
Li Chengqian turned his head to see that the minister behind him was also sweating on his forehead, so he instructed the attendant of the Taiji Palace who followed him: "Go and prepare sour plum soup for your family to relieve the heat, and prepare a few Chinese clothes for you to change into sweaty clothes."
When everything is ready, take all the Qing family to the Ganlu Gate to wait for the lonely king. β
When the chamberlain heard this, he turned around and went to prepare, and all the ministers followed him to change clothes, and the old ghost led Li Chengqian and a group of entourages to the side hall to change clothes.
Ganlu Hall as one of the three main halls of Taiji Palace, Li Shimin usually only works and rests in the main hall, according to the specifications of the front hall and the back bed, the front half of the throne screen is the place where he gathers some cronies to discuss state affairs, and the back half is his dormitory.
Some of the other side halls and side halls are for the ministers who come to the court to wait and rest.
As the crown prince, Li Chengqian has three special side halls here for him to rest and change clothes in, and Li Chengqian is going to this side hall to change clothes at the moment.
Li Chengqian was surrounded by a group of people and was walking along the eaves of the corridor, when he suddenly heard sobbing from the side hall next to him, Li Chengqian stopped and motioned to the old ghost to open the door.
The old ghost walked quietly and opened the door with a light push, Li Chengqian looked inside, only to see a few candles dimly lit in the hall, and pink gauze tents hung everywhere, obviously where the woman lived.
In the middle of the arhat bed sat two people, Li Zhi and a woman in palace clothes.
When the door opened, Li Zhi's shirt was half off, revealing an arm, and the woman in palace clothes was rubbing that arm for him.
The two of them were also frightened by the sudden opening of the door, and looked at Li Chengqian and his party in a daze.
"What's going on?" Li Chengqian knew that nothing could come out at this time, especially the matters involving Li Zhi, which had to be asked clearly.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The woman in the palace costume reacted first, got up and walked a few steps to the door to salute Li Chengqian.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Li Chengqian didn't know this woman in palace clothes.
"The concubine is a talented Wu clan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin's arm is injured and the pain is unbearable, and the concubine is kneading." Martial arts people are calm and unhurried.
Talent Wu Clan?
Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this, glanced at Li Zhi, who was hiding behind and didn't dare to look up, and looked at this martial artist lightly.
I saw that she looked twenty-eight or nineteen years old, tall and thick, with a Chinese face, double chin, eyes and nose, if she changed into men's clothes, she would be a burly warrior.
"Who are you Ying Guogong Warrior Tong?" Li Chengqian asked lightly.
At this point, he didn't believe that there could be a Wu Zetian in history, so he was not excited at all to see this woman who might be Wu Zetian.
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in the eyes of the martial artist, but he still replied calmly on his face: "Duke Ying is the father of the concubine. β
Li Chengqian nodded slightly and said: Sure enough, it's Wu Mei, but how do you feel a little older.
Li Zhike is a teenage little fresh meat, how can he talk to a ......
Don't think about it, send them away first.
"If you are a talented person in the harem, go back to the harem!" Then he said to the old ghost: "Send King Jin back to his bedroom!" Li Chengqian said and lifted his legs and left.
When Li Chengqian simply rinsed in the side hall, changed into clean clothes, and came to the upper floor of Ganlumen City, it was already the end of the military time and the beginning of the morning.
Today, he was in a hurry under the scorching sun, and by this time he was very tired, helping the old ghost to walk up to the city tower, a fresh breeze hit, and he felt refreshed, so he calmly walked into the side hall on the city tower.
The ministers had been waiting here for a while, and when they saw Li Chengqian walking in, they all got up and saluted.
Li Chengqian waved his hand as he walked inside: "You don't have to be polite. β
After Li Chengqian sat down on the throne, the ministers once again solemnly saluted.
"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Li Chengqian raised his hands slightly and said, "Flat!" β
Of course, the ministers are so attentive because Li Chengqian is in charge of the country today, and Li Shimin is very likely to leave here, but several old ministers still have an indescribable feeling in their hearts when they look at the calm Li Chengqian.
In their imagination, Li Chengqian's dependence on them obviously will not appear, serving Lao Tzu for a lifetime, and when it comes to his son's generation, he has to be a little low......
Li Chengqian didn't care what they thought in their hearts, and when he saw that the ministers were flattened, he asked directly: "Has Your Majesty's edict been prepared?"
Li Shimin just now in the dormitory was an edict dictated, and if this edict wants to be addressed to the world, it must be drafted by the Zhongshu Province, reviewed by the Menxia Province, and promulgated by the Shang Provincial Government before it can be considered legal.
The ministers were stunned when they heard this, and thought to themselves why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had to play a few times to resign, why did he come forward to urge him?
Just when everyone wanted to remind Li Chengqian to be reserved, Liu Zheng, a member of the Zhongshu House, walked out with a proud expression and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince Qixuan has already prepared the edict of the country, and he is waiting for the seal." β
As he spoke, he pulled out a copy of the edict he had prepared from his sleeve.
Ma Zhou is Chinese scholar saw that Liu Zheng had already drawn it up, so he had to come out and take it over and open it to take a closer look.
Li Chengqian saw that Ma Zhou received the edict and said directly: "Let's see if there is no mistake, I will send it out tonight, and we must make this edict known to the army and the people of Chang'an before noon tomorrow, so as to reassure the hearts of all people in the world." β
The ministers were stunned when they heard this, but this time the East Palace family mastered Li Chengqian's rhythm.
Cheng Mingzhen was the first to walk out and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not informal, has the courage to take responsibility, and the ministers are edicted." β
Seeing this, all the ministers of the East Palace came out one after another to express their willingness to serve the edict, and the other ministers naturally could not raise objections at this time, so they had to salute with the crowd and express their willingness to obey the edict.
When Li Chengqian saw that the first thing was done, he opened his mouth and said to everyone: "In the past, Cheng bit the golden arch to defend the Taiji Palace, and the guards of His Majesty were ineffective, and he was demoted by His Majesty, but the Taiji Palace is very important and cannot be guarded without a general. β
When the ministers heard this, they all looked at Su Dingfang, thinking that Li Chengqian would inevitably order Su Dingfang to guard the Taiji Palace.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it takes the Sixteen Wei Generals to be competent to guard the Taiji Palace, and the minister recommends the Right Guard General Xue Wanche to be named the Right Martial Guard General to guard the Chengtian Gate of the Taiji Palace." Wei Renzhao walked out slowly.
Li Chengqian glanced at him lightly, knowing that Wei Renzhao was going to block him now.
just snorted coldly and said: "Xue Wanche is a fierce general, and it may not be appropriate to be stationed at the palace gate." Qiu Xinggong, the general of the right military guard, entered the right general of the military to guard the Chengtian Gate, and ordered the left guard general Li Anyan to garrison the Ganlu Palace. β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinksβ"
"Don't say it, the book is going to be intended."
Wei Zhaoren was about to speak but was directly interrupted by Li Chengqian, and Gao Jifu behind him hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order!" Then he went to the draft.
Wei Zhaoren stood there with an indignant face and wanted to say something, but he heard Li Chengqian say lightly: "The former secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Hou Junji was exempted for his crimes, and the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and it is impossible to let the villain do anything without the book!" β
The ministers looked at Wei Renzhao with a little schadenfreude in their eyes, and taught you to find fault first, and first found a boss for you......
