Zhang Xuansu was very happy and said: "You must strictly interrogate those who have been arrested, and the accounts must also be carefully checked, and you must catch the handle of violating the law and discipline." You don't have any worries, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has your back. ”

Chu Heng said: "Please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that the minister will do his best to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince." After saying that, he said goodbye and left the East Palace.

When Chu Heng came out of the East Palace, he saw a eunuch walking towards the East Palace, he passed by the eunuch and walked towards the Chengtian Gate.

Officials.

Although Hou Junji walked in the Shangshu room and exercised the power of servants, the officials were his position, and he had to go around the officials every day to show his existence.

At this time, he had just come to the Ministry of Commerce, and he saw a female official of the Ministry of Commerce, whom he knew, was a close confidant of the Minister of Commerce, Princess Qi and Princess Wu, and after the female official saluted, he smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess sent you, is there anything important?" ”

The female officer looked around and stopped talking. Hou Junji said: "Go to my office." ”

After Hou Junji heard the female official's intention, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his head. In the entire Tang Dynasty, Hou Junji was a figure who was not afraid of heaven and earth, however, he was still a person who was afraid of him, Li Shimin was one, but the person he was most afraid of was not Li Shimin, but Li You, the king of Qi who was a fork.

Hou Junji has worked with Li You for a long time, has a deep friendship with Li You, and Li You has saved him many times. Li You's extraordinary ability to predict and how to deal with problems is simply unpredictable.

When Hou Junji heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had gone to provoke Li You, he immediately became anxious, and he immediately went to the East Palace to dissuade Li Chengqian.

Hou Jun came to the East Palace in a hurry, and when he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was called away by Li Shimin, he suddenly felt bad in his heart. Now it's too late, and he has to wait for Li Chengqian to come back in the East Palace.

Hou Junji waited for a while, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly left the East Palace.

Everything is in Wu's calculations.

Liangyi Palace, study.

With the help of Changsun Wuji and others, Li Chengqian has done several things in the construction of Chang'an New City, which has been affirmed by Li Shimin. Hearing that Li Shimin had passed on his audience, he was very happy, thinking that Li Shimin wanted to report on the construction of Chang'an New City by himself, so he came with materials.

"Son, see my father's ......," Li Chengqian saluted and said.

"Prince, what do you want to do? Well? Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Shimin roared.

Wang De was very smart, and when he saw that Li Shimin was furious, he quietly walked out. Outside the door of the study, Wang De and Ma Xuanliang heard Li Shimin scolding Li Chengqian with his head and face inside, and there was even the sound of throwing things. The two chose to pretend not to hear it and waited for Li Shimin to summon them.

Half an hour later, Wang De and Ma Xuanliang heard Li Shimin roaring angrily: "Let those people of yours get out of those places in the industrial city." ”

Soon, Li Chengqian came out, looking like his soul was not possessed.

At this moment, the eunuch beside the eldest grandson queen came, and he said: "Slave maid see His Royal Highness the Prince, the queen invites you to come over." ”

Lizheng Palace.

When Empress Changsun heard the news of Li Chengqian's targeting of Li You, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, she felt that Li Chengqian was simply crazy. In the entire Tang Dynasty, Li You helped Li Chengqian the most, even surpassing Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji, because there were some things they wanted to help Li Chengqian, and they didn't have the ability to do it.

Li You has a great favor to the eldest grandson, and he did not threaten Li Chengqian, and in order to support Li Chengqian, he deliberately hid in Shengzhou, which is thousands of miles away, and it is really unreasonable to target Li You.

Besides, is Li You so easy to mess with? Not to mention anything else, is one of those kings and khans abroad a fool, and which one is Li You's opponent? Li Tai has Li Shimin's favor, what is the result of his targeting of Li You?

Empress Eldest Sun was angry, and when she saw Li Chengqian's head and face, she was reprimanded. She counted the time for Li Chengqian to have a stick of incense, and she was so angry that she couldn't breathe, so she stopped.

Li Chengqian was already blinded, and he stood there in a daze, letting Empress Changsun reprimand. He was completely stupid and a little aggrieved. These things against Li You were really not arranged by him, but were manipulated by the eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Xuansu and others behind their backs. However, he is also responsible, when he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji arranged for his cronies to enter Li You's territory such as the Industrial City and the Ministry of Industry, and Li You did not react, he acquiesced.

Now, things have come to this point, and Li Chengqian really doesn't know what to do.

When Empress Eldest Sun saw Li Chengqian's appearance, she felt a little sympathy for her son, who was stupid. She stopped reprimanding him and told him to go back first.

After Li Chengqian left, Empress Changsun carefully considered the consequences of this matter, and she decided to find ways to make up for Li You, so as not to let Li You become an enemy of the eldest grandson.

Jingzhao Province.

Chu Heng returned to Jingzhao Mansion and instructed his subordinates to hurry up the interrogation of the people of the Magpie Trading Company.

The bookkeepers of the Magpie Trading Company were brought into the interrogation room, and when they saw the bloodstained torture instruments inside, they were also half frightened to death, and it didn't take long for them to confess.

The anti-thief envoy in charge of the interrogation saw that they were willing to confess, and was happy that he had completed the task assigned by the superior, and ordered his subordinates to make a record. However, when the bookkeepers began to confess, the thief regretted it and quickly stopped the interrogation.

Chu Heng was in the study, a little uneasy in his heart, worried that he would not be able to complete the task assigned by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was waiting for the results of the interrogation.

At this time, the thief asked to see him outside.

Chu Heng asked, "Have you recruited it?" ”

The thief said with a frightened face: "My lord, don't try it, you can't try it anymore." ”

Chu Heng didn't care too much, he knew that the Magpie Trading Company was the property of His Royal Highness King Qi, and he thought that even if His Royal Highness King Qi was involved, it would not be a big deal. He said: "Don't be afraid, you can try it as you want." Everything is supported by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The thief said with a sad face, "Yes, yes, yes......" His teeth chattered and he trembled.

Chu Heng said angrily: "Didn't I tell you? Everything is supported by the prince of the world. ”

The thief gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, it's Your Majesty, it's Your Majesty!" ”

"What?" Chu Heng's face was pale, and he sat on the chair.

At this time, Hou Junji came.

"Lord Hou, why are you here?" Hou Junji is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and his arrival made the frightened Chu Heng see a savior.

Hou Junji said: "Did you arrest the people of the Magpie Trading Company? If there is, release them quickly and send them back. ”

"Yes, sir." Chu Heng said. He said to the thief envoy: "Why don't you hurry up?! ”

"Yes, sir." The thief hurried away.

Hou Junji pointed at Chu Heng and said, "Look at what you have done." ”

Chu Heng said aggrievedly: "My lord, this is all explained by Lord Zhang Xuansu. ”

Hou Junji said: "You are all fools. Let me tell you one thing, anyone in the Tang Dynasty can be provoked, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi must not be provoked. ”

Chu Heng said: "My lord, there is another difficult matter, please give me an idea." He told Hou Junji the results of the interrogation just now.

Hou Junji was depressed in his heart, and he said: "Destroy all the interrogation records and keep your people tight-lipped." Do you understand? ”

"Yes, my lord, the lower official knows." Chu Heng responded.

The blow to Li Chengqian is far from over.
