With Ma Zhou's help, Li Chengqian was naturally very happy, so he took Ma Zhou back to Dongguan directly.

I talked to him a lot along the way, this person is really talented!

They were delayed for a long time on the road.

Li Chengqian knew that this was stable.

But not long after stepping into the East Palace, news came.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is invited to the Taiji Palace!"

I met Li Shimin just now, why did he go by himself now? Something big must have happened, otherwise it wouldn't have been.

And in a hurry.

So, he said: "Xue Rengui, you take Ma Zhou to familiarize yourself with the environment of the East Palace, and this king will come back when he goes." ”

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui took Ma Zhou and left.

And Li Chengqian went out of the East Palace and went to the Taiji Palace.

I was just about to arrive at the Taiji Palace, but I heard a crying voice.

Isn't that Liu Hongji's voice?

"Damn! It's him! ”

He instantly understood what was going on, this guy was really made.

It seems that the previous slap was not enough, and it should have been dealt heavier.

And there was a sense of foreboding in my heart.

This guy must have sued Li Shimin.

People say that crying children have milk, and the ministers who cry also have milk? It's not, but it's not bad!

But he was not afraid at all, and walked directly into the palace. Let's see what this old guy wants to do!

When he entered the palace, Li Shimin's scolding came.

"Gao Ming, Gao Ming, how can you do such a thing? No matter how you say it, Hongji is also a hero who has made great contributions to the world with me! Look at you, what did you beat him into!? ”

Li Chengqian thought to himself, that is also your loyal minister, what does it have to do with me? This guy is loyal to you, but not to me? He's in my way, so I'm going to clean it up!

The official history is all written about Liu Hongji's loyalty and obedience to Li Shimin!

Look at Liu Hongji's face again, it is swollen like a pig's head.

That Xue Rengui's palm power was so great that this guy was hurt a little.

Liu Hongji's speech also became very vague.

"Your Majesty...... How can the minister hold his head up in front of everyone in the future? How dare you pass by the place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the future? The minister is heartbroken! ”

As he spoke, he almost cried.

Perform! Next.

It's a pity that Liu Hongji's acting skills don't go to be an actor.

"Gao Ming, in the past half a year, I didn't talk to you, and I didn't blame you, I thought you had grown up, you talked to me, what is going on!"

Li Shimin then scolded.

"Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not discipline him, I am afraid that it will affect the future of the entire Tang Dynasty! Please also consider punishing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

Liu Hongji cried again.

The more he talked, the more angry Li Shimin became.

This is something he has never done before, and it can be seen that he is really angry.

The more this time, the more you can't be too anxious with Li Shimin.

So Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, please listen to what your sons have to say." Your Majesty, please listen to the reason for your son's request. ”

He spoke slowly, making it feel like he could calm down.

What else does Liu Hongji have to say.

But he shouted: "Duke Kui, what have you done, do you still want this king to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

This sudden drink really had an effect.

Liu Hongji's puffing proves that there are ghosts.

Why didn't the smart Li Shimin understand?

There must be a reason for this.

So he glared at Liu Hongji.

Liu Hongji was probably also weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look at Li Shimin's eyes directly.

"Gao Ming, tell me what's going on?"

Li Shimin's anger subsided a little.

At this time, people are the most sensible.

Li Chengqian's relaxation directly disintegrated Liu Hongji's treacherous scheme.

Liu Hongji must have wanted to make Li Shimin angry, and then punish Li Chengqian.

Unexpectedly, he was passed by Li Chengqian.

No matter how you say it, blood is dissolved in water, how can he, a foreign minister, compare to Li Chengqian's status in Li Shimin's heart.

In addition, during this period of time, the kind of talent that Li Chengqian has shown has made Li Chengqian's speech more and more weighty.

He also has his reason for beating Liu Hongji.

"Your Majesty, here's the thing. Relying on his high official position, Kui Guogong directly instructed Chang He and insulted his official character. The words were very unpleasant, and Erchen couldn't hear it, so he had to punish him slightly, but he didn't expect that Kui Guogong would be so unbeaten, and he would swell directly like this with a light slap. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, his face changed and he became unsightly!

"Is there such a thing as Hongji?"

His voice was very loud, which frightened Liu Hongji a little.

"Your Majesty, it's not like this, it's the minister who wants to go out, how can he stop the minister......"

"What you said to him, many people have seen! If you don't believe it, you can let them come and testify! ”

Liu Hongji was silent, and Li Shimin seemed to understand something.

But Liu Hongji is an old minister after all, a great hero, and at this time, it is not good to blame him.

But don't blame him?

can't get by, the prince is present, and he will make a bad example.

So he said with a straight face: "Hongji, you have disappointed me very much!" ”

Liu Hongji was so frightened that he wanted to say something.

was interrupted by Li Chengqian.

"Your Majesty, Gong Kui Guogong is actually a meritorious person!"

"Huh?"

This made Li Shimin wonder.

Liu Hongji was even more depressed, he had merit, why didn't he know?

"Talk to me!"

Li Shimin was curious.

"That's the case, if it weren't for him, Erchen wouldn't be able to know Chang He, and if he couldn't know Chang He, there would be no way to discover Ma Zhou's talent! Therefore, Kui Guogong can also be regarded as a talented person! ”

Li Chengqian's words are so powerful that people are powerless to refute.

It seems that this is the case, there is a cause and effect.

There must be a cause and there must be an effect, it is Liu Hongji's cause that caused Ma Zhou's effect.

"According to what you mean, I still want to reward him?"

Liu Hongji was ashamed, this kind of rhetoric made him feel very sad in his heart.

He also dared to speak.

At the same time, he doesn't know what Li Chengqian is going to do, he can't see through Li Chengqian's heart more and more.

"Your Majesty, this mistake, the son also punished him, so forget it. This merit depends on how His Majesty rewards it. ”

Li Chengqian said.

Li Shimin will understand.

"Hongji, I will reward you for serving as a soldier defending the city for a month!"

Where is this reward, it is simply to let him put down his body.

But how could he?

That's what it has to do.

At this time, Liu Hongji had already hated Li Chengqian.

But what can he do with Li Chengqian?

"Yes, Your Majesty, obey the order!"

"Huh? And then what? Gao Ming protects you so much, you shouldn't ......"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liu Hongji hurriedly made a big salute.

made Li Chengqian laugh.

"Don't be polite, this is what this king should do."

If I beat you, you have to thank me, I'm afraid only Li Chengqian can do this.

Liu Hongji's old face turned red, as if he had thought of something. Again:

"By the way, Your Majesty, the minister has one more matter.".

He spoke with wind leaking from his mouth, sounding very laborious.

"What? What's up? ”
