On the gatehouse of the Ganlu Palace, Li Chengqian sat on the throne with a faint expression.

A few scholars of the Pingzhang Academy, such as Yu Suiliang, and a few scholars such as Liu Zheng, all stood around a large square table in the hall with calm faces, and the large square table was filled with a stack of two or three feet high.

Each of them held a piece of music in their hands, frowned, and snorted angrily.

Among them, Yu Suiliang was the most angry, looking at the hand and Song Shu's face was blue, his hands trembled slightly, he picked up a copy and read a few words, then threw it on the ground and picked up one from the generous table to read.

The people of the Tang Dynasty are good at calligraphy, these recitals are written with four or six small letters, and the whole text is beautiful, and it is definitely a work of art now.

If it weren't for the fact that the contents of these notes were all scolding himself, Li Chengqian would have wanted to collect them.

……

……

Li Chengqian also did not expect that his edict would cause the two sides to immediately become tense, and Li Yuanjing, the king of Jing, was indeed ready to launch an offensive in advance as Li Daozong had speculated.

But what Li Chengqian didn't expect was that this King Jing actually launched a literary attack first, and asked a large number of officials to write and scold Li Chengqian for being mediocre and cruel to Zhongliang.

After scolding Li Chengqian, he also demanded that the ministers who were imprisoned in the prison awaiting interrogation be immediately released, that all the children of the scholars who had been dismissed from their posts be reinstated, that they should stop inspecting the six departments, that Li Chengqian should return to the East Palace to study behind closed doors and that he would no longer participate in the pre-government affairs, and that during Li Shimin's serious illness, the government affairs were jointly controlled by Gao Shilian, Yang Shidao, Zhang Chengxing, Li Shiji, Li Daozong, and Yu Suiliang.

Yu Suiliang threw off the song in his hand and directly turned to Li Chengqian and hugged his fist, and said angrily: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is a rebel minister forcing the palace, it cannot be forgiven!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "This is exactly the rebellion against the ministers forcing the palace, but don't worry too much, don't look at the music here There are actually people who have written several copies in a row, and the lonely king is worried that the loyal ministers will also come to the palace later." ”

The ministers in the palace were stunned, how could the loyal ministers come to force the palace?

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, King Jiangxia, Shen Guogong, British Gong, Yang Zhongshu, and Zhang Shizhong ask to see him."

Li Chengqian glanced at the stunned ministers, raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Announce them to enter the palace." ”

Gao Shilian and a few people quickly walked in, bypassed the middle table and saluted Li Chengqian.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"All the ministers are flat!"

A few people straightened up and saw Li Chengqian looking at them with a smile, as if waiting for them to speak.

Gao Shilian was stunned at first, but still hugged his fists and said: "The minister is old and frail, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow the minister to go home for the elderly." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji was exiled, Gao Shilian resigned and allowed it, this time because Li Shimin went north to conquer him, he was not from Li Chengqian's faction, and he was not worried about him staying in Chang'an, so he forcibly took him with him.

Li Shimin returned to Chang'an and fell seriously ill, as the founding father, he was left in Shangshu Province to preside over government affairs, Gao Shilian originally wanted to wait for Li Chengqian to stabilize the government and ask Li Chengqian to resign, but since Li Chengqian was in charge of the country, he began to fight with the scholars, and Gao Shilian naturally did not want to resign.

Now that the ministers are forcing the palace and asking him to preside over government affairs, Gao Shilian, who has been rolling in the court for decades, can see at a glance that this is a trick to sow discord, but even so, he has to be an example.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recently relapsed from his old injury, and he also wants to go home to recuperate behind closed doors...... followed by Gao Shilian's resignation.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reported yesterday that the Khitan and Goguryeo had frequent contacts, and the minister asked for an order to go out of Beijing to patrol the border......" Li Shiji wanted to hide.

……

……

Li Chengqian didn't say a word, just looked at a few people indifferently and found various reasons to leave Chang'an, and the last few people also felt embarrassed, and slowly stopped the words in their mouths and looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian slowly walked off the throne, came to the already stunned Sui Liang and said to the ministers: "Mr. Yu has been watching these performances just now, and he gritted his teeth with hatred and scolded these rebels who forced the palace. ”

When Gao Shilian and the others heard this, they looked at Yu Suiliang and then at the table, and they didn't know what Li Chengqian meant by this.

was about to ask tentatively, when he heard Li Chengqian say slowly: "In my opinion, Mr. Yu scolded wrongly, he only knew that these people were rebels who forced the palace, but he forgot that these people wanted him to take power for King Gu together with your Qing family!" ”

When Yu Suiliang heard this, he was anxious, and said with a red face: "Minister, minister, minister has no such intention. ”

Li Chengqian raised his hand to signal him to stop, and then pointed to Sui Liang to Gao Shilian and the others: "Mr. Zhen, this is to seek the country and forget yourself!" ”

Gao Shilian and the others listened to Li Chengqian's last sentence and their faces that had been honed for many years were unnatural, and they looked at Li Chengqian and Yu Suiliang speechless.

Seeing this, Yu Suiliang bowed to the ground towards Li Chengqian, and said excitedly: "The minister is just stupid by nature, and he is definitely not superior to others!" ”

Li Chengqian helped up Yu Suiliang and walked to the throne, looked at Gao Shilian and the others and asked, "I heard that in order to force the lonely king to hand over power, some people have already gone to Chengtianmen to stand quietly in front of Chengtianmen without handling government affairs?"

Gao Shilian and the others glanced at each other, and hurriedly bowed to the ground and pleaded: "The ministers are guilty." ”

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "Several Qing families are all flat!" Li Chengqian saw them straighten up, and said directly to Li Daozong: "Uncle Jiangxia tell everyone what you know!"

Hearing this, Li Daozong glanced at the ministers who had come in with him embarrassedly, and then with a straight face, he told everyone what he had said to Li Chengqian yesterday and Li Chengqian's response.

Gao Shilian and the others stopped asking for resignation at this time, and they were all thinking about how to deal with the things in front of them.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter is menacing, why don't you ask Your Majesty to come forward to deter Xiaoxiao?" Zhang Chengxing thought for a while.

Li Chengqian said with a sad face when he heard this: "Your Majesty's health has just improved a little, how can you be disturbed because of this little thing." ”

The ministers were silent when they heard this, obviously not confident in dealing with such a thing.

Li Chengqian smiled when he saw this, stood up and said to the ministers: "It's boring to sit here, go out with King Gu to have a look." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is hiding in the dark, you still don't go out easily, let the rebellious ministers and thieves have a chance!" Li Daozong was concerned.

"If you don't go out, take a look at the Chengtian Gate." Li Chengqian waved his hand.

At this time, the weather was not very hot at midnight, and Li Chengqian and his party walked to Chengtianmen.

Li Chengqian asked as he walked forward slowly, "Do you know why they didn't ask to see King Gu in front of Liangyi Gate this time?"

Li Shiji smiled wickedly when he heard this: "Probably because I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will kill them in front of the Liangyi Gate!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian with a wry smile, thinking that they would beat the ministers out of the admonition, this kind of thing is only done by the one in front of them!

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and then asked, "Aren't they afraid that the Lone King will kill them in front of the Chengtian Gate?"

Li Shiji was stunned when he heard this: "Chengtianmen should not have a problem if it is guarded by General Qiu, right?"

Li Chengqian slowly breathed and said, "I hope so!" ”

But I was thinking in my heart, what did these officials rely on?
