When Li Chengqian saw the candidates starting to enter, he regretted a little in his heart why he didn't arrange a few trustees in the crowd before, if there were trustees, he wouldn't have to bother so much today.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, did you go too far by killing Wang Jue like this?" Su Dingfang walked lightly to Li Chengqian's side and said.

Li Chengqian turned to look at Su Dingfang and said, "Since this person dares to come and charge for others, he will have to bear this result."

And if I let him go this time, not only will he and the people behind him not be able to learn a lesson, I'm afraid there will be more people bullying us, and we will still have to kill when the time comes. ”

Su Dingfang still said worriedly when he heard this: "But in this way, His Royal Highness the Prince's reputation ......."

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, and sighed: "The general's worries are reasonable, but my Datang lacks such a person as Guwang!"

His Majesty is confused by the word "benevolence and righteousness", and he is afraid to do anything, if the lone king does not do these things again, no one in the future will be able to do it. ”

Li Chengqian got up and walked back, and everyone followed him back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian said seemingly casually as he walked: "Our Datang is like a grassland, and there are grass eaters and meat eaters in this grassland." What the lonely king wants to do is to try to limit the meat-eaters from eating a little less each time, and leave a little way for the grass-eaters to live, so that this grassland can last for a long time, otherwise the meat-eaters will eat all the grass-eaters, and the meat-eaters can still live on this grassland?"

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?" Su Dingfang felt as if he had caught something, but he didn't understand it at all, and the others were all ignorant.

Li Chengqian looked back and couldn't help but roll his eyes and said: "What the Lone King means is that you don't have so many worries with the Lone King, everything the Lone King wants to do is just, so that the thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty can live a better life, and it is the most "benevolent" thing Don't worry about the reputation behind you." ”

"Wait for it!" Su Dingfang and the others hurriedly bowed and said.

"Flat!" Li Chengqian saw that everyone straightened up and continued: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to fight for the interests of the people, and the difficulty lies in two points: one is that the scholars oppose the officials not to carry it out, and the other is that the common people do not know the good policies of the imperial court, and the gentry in the local areas have eaten up the benefits if they have some good things.

The difference between now and in the past is that there are a large number of people in the East Palace who can contact the people of Guanzhong at any time, so that the people of Guanzhong know who is good to them and how to get benefits.

So you don't have to worry about those people in the DPRK and China making a stumbling block, and when the time comes, we will definitely let the eldest grandson Wuji and them suffer a big loss. ”

Li Chengqian said this, pointing to the scholars who were being inspected and entering the East Palace: "The most important thing is that with these scholars, even if they don't do anything, the Lone King will have someone to replace them." ”

The few people who followed behind Li Chengqian understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still holding back his big moves after making trouble for a long time.

However, listening to that tone, it seems to be beneficial to ordinary people, and the odds seem to be quite good.

At this time, even if Li Chengqian wants to rebel, they have to follow, otherwise as long as Li Chengqian falls, they will not end well, and there is an example in front of them, and the party of Li Tai that Donggong just dealt with is their own hand.

At this time, he understood that Li Chengqian had something important to do, so he bowed down and said, "The ministers are at the mercy of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this: "Okay, go to the Chongjiao Hall with King Gu." As he spoke, he turned around and left first, but he thought that he would tell them straight to them if he knew that their understanding skills were so poor.

On the afternoon of the day when the candidates entered the examination room, news came out from the East Palace that Li Chengqian was sick, unable to eat, unable to sleep, and weak.

Several imperial doctors who were summoned into the East Palace were helpless when they saw it.

At the same time, people began to sing small songs in various squares of Chang'an City, some people sang the story of Ji Jin, the crown prince of King Zhou Ling, and some people sang the story of Prince Yuande, the prince of Sui Yang.

The crown prince of King Zhou Ling is a figure in the Spring and Autumn Period, the history books record that he was killed by King Zhou Ling, and later his descendants left the Zhou Dynasty and moved to Taiyuan, Taiyuan locals still call their family Wang's family, which is the ancestor of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Emperor Yang of Sui's Prince Yuande was only twenty-three years old when he died of illness, and the Book of Sui recorded that Emperor Yang of Sui was embarrassed to be Prince Yuande and scared him to death.

When Li Chengqian was reported to be ill, such stories were being sung everywhere in Chang'an City, which made the people of Chang'an City feel very uneasy.

On this day, Li Chengqian was instructing the courtesans in the Chongjiao Hall to arrange a play that showed the hardships of the tenant farmers' lives, and in his previous life, Li Chengqian liked to watch some old plays, so it was easy to give the white-haired girl a makeover to the Eight Winds Hall to rehearse.

Li Chengqian was just finished busy here when he saw a small chamberlain come in and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has sent someone to deliver the decree." ”

Li Chengqian's heart moved, I pretended to be sick and showed weakness, what kind of decree did Li Shimin come to preach?

"Xuan come in!"

The chamberlain beside Li Shimin walked into the Chongjiao Hall with a box and hurriedly saluted Li Chengqian: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Flat!" ”

The chamberlain got up and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unwell, so he specially asked the slave maid to send a box of bird's nest to His Royal Highness the Prince, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can take good care of his body."

In addition, His Majesty also said that since the Crown Palace's health is not well, the East Palace's ruling on the prison sentence will be waived, so let the Crown Palace's rest for a while......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Li Chengqian bowed his hand upward, which can be regarded as a salute.

The waiter's face twitched, but he also saw that Li Chengqian's face was not good-looking, so he dared to retreat to the Taiji Palace in a hurry.

Li Chengqian sat down and took a deep breath to calm down, Li Chengqian originally wanted to pretend to be sick in the East Palace before the exam results came out, and then release the story of the two more miserable princes in Chang'an City, Li Shimin would have some scruples and dare not blatantly take away his rights.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was invincible even if he was embarrassed, and he didn't even let go of his sick son.

This also made Li Chengqian understand that in history, Li Shimin has always maintained a father-son relationship with Li Chengqian, that is because Li Chengqian has been the prince for many years, and has never dared to compete with Li Shimin for power, but now although Li Chengqian has only traveled to the Tang Dynasty for a few months, he has a lot of power, and a power animal like Li Shimin, you take his power and ask for his life, so Li Shimin will no longer care about the relationship between father and son.

When Li Chengqian thought of this, he also understood that he couldn't be angry with Li Shimin at this time, and he had to come up with a way to make trouble for Li Shimin at this time.

"Go to pass on Li Yifu!"

After a while, Li Yifu entered the Chongjiao Palace, and Li Chengqian said directly: "You have heard, Your Majesty has received the power of the Lone King to adjudicate unjust imprisonment. ”

Li Yifu said solemnly when he heard this: "The minister has already heard about it. ”

"Then tomorrow I will send someone to block the door of the eldest grandson Wuji's house to complain." Li Chengqian commanded directly.

Li Yifu was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still hesitated: "Is this okay?"

Li Chengqian knew what he was worried about, and said directly: "Send more people, don't force him too hard." ”

Hearing this, Li Yifu nodded and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

When Li Chengqian saw Li Yifu going down, he sent people to summon Du He and Zhao Jie to come to the Chongjiao Palace, and Du He and Zhao Jie were now mainly responsible for the affairs of the reclamation of Longshou Plain.

At dinner time, Li Shimin was eating with Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang in the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin was eating, and when he looked up, he saw an attendant looking inside outside, and when he knew that something was wrong, he glanced at the attendant beside him.

The chamberlain hurriedly went out to ask, and after a while, he came back and whispered in front of Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, there are hundreds of old and weak women and children who have set up tents in front of the Changlin Gate of the East Palace, saying that they want to pray for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Bang!" The small few in front of Li Shimin were kicked away by Li Shimin, Li Shimin was still panting to himself, his eyes were blood-red, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.

"Father's anger!" Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Shimin and fell to the ground, but Li Shimin didn't even look at them.

He just yelled at the chamberlain, "Go find out what's going on." ”

"Obey the order" The chamberlain hurriedly ran out.

It is no wonder that Li Shimin is angry, Changlin Gate is a gate outside the Jiafu Gate of the East Palace, but it is actually a gate between the palace and the inner city.

When Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were at their most fierce, Li Jiancheng once asked local officials loyal to him to select 2,000 elite soldiers for him to garrison in Changlinmen.

Of course, Li Jiancheng was later killed at the Xuanwu Gate at the north gate of the palace, and the soldiers of Changlin Gate were not used at all.

However, it is ironic that the people stationed in Changlinmen are all old and weak women and children, one shows that Li Chengqian thinks he is in danger now, and the other shows that Li Chengqian is very popular.

How does this make Li Shimin not angry and rush to the crown?
