Chapter 635: It's Not Worth Cutting You Off
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this ......"
"Liu Hongji, you let it go!"
Li Chengqian said unceremoniously.
"8, His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......"
"Huh? Don't you understand what this king is saying? β
"This ...... Yes"
Now the people on the middle-aged man's side began to show great joy. In this way, it is very likely that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the master for them.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister still has something to do, leave first!"
Liu Hongji was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Li Chengqian!
"Stop! Did this king let you go? β
Before the matter is understood, how can this goods leave?
That Liu Hongji was directly speechless. I had to stand there, and I was in a daze.
His entourage looked helpless and had a dull expression. Is this still a national prince? Don't dare to fart in front of the prince!
Li Chengqian's approach made Liu Hongji very faceless, even Li Shimin didn't dare to do this, he Li Chengqian dared!
Li Chengqian ignored him, and walked towards the middle-aged man.
Q: "What's your name?" β
The middle-aged man said bluntly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general is Chang He!" β
When Li Chengqian heard Chang He's name, he felt very familiar.
Why? It can be said that without him, Li Shimin would not be the emperor.
In that year, Chang He closed the Xuanwu Gate after Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji entered the court through the Xuanwu Gate during the Xuanwu Gate Change, preventing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's men from entering the rescue, which indirectly ensured that Li Shimin got rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji and became the crown prince. Only then can he ascend to the throne.
That proves that the importance of this product is still there, so Li Shimin gave him a lieutenant general. But he hasn't been able to make a big contribution lately, so he's been hovering in this position.
Thinking of this, since it is him, then there will be another person involved.
Ma Zhou, who was down at the time.
Where is Ma Zhou sacred?
That is an existence that has been invited by Li Shimin four times.
In the fifth year of Zhenguan (631), Li Shimin ordered hundreds of officials to write to talk about the gains and losses of the court. Li Shimin suspected that Chang He had such a talent, and asked Chang He, Chang He said: "This is not something that can be written by a minister, it was drafted by Ma Zhou, a guest." Every time he talks to his ministers, he always takes loyalty and filial piety as his purpose. Taizong summoned Ma Zhou that day, and before Ma Zhou arrived, the emperor sent people to urge him four times. After Ma Zhou visited him, Taizong talked with him very happily and asked him to serve on duty in Menxia Province.
In the end, he also soared to the top and became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty can be described as very great. It can be said that he is a great talent, and if he can use it for himself, then it must be very wonderful.
He also needs a powerful assistant to help him now, and he can help his existence now.
Since this is the case, then Chang He must take a good look at it, and by the way, he will bring out Ma Zhou's available talent. As for Fang Xuanling, he was like this first, and he didn't expect him to help.
Coincidentally, this Liu Hongji also made him run into it, and he could teach him a lesson.
So he said: "Chang He is, you tell this king what is going on!" β
"His Royal Highness the Prince, that's the case, just now the last general is here to guard the city gate, but unexpectedly, Kui Guogong hurriedly said that he wanted to go out of the city gate, but he couldn't prove it, so I stopped him from going out of this city gate, but he insulted me, he insulted me It's okay, but I can't insult the Zhonglang general given by His Majesty!"
"Nonsense, it's obvious that you're not right first!"
When Liu Hongji heard this, his temper came up.
It's also a lot louder.
But in terms of volume, where can it compare to Chang He, who is a military general?
"Duke Kui, there are not a few people in our court who enter and exit this door, and there has never been a big official who is so rude as you!"
Chang He is a shrewd person, knowing that Li Chengqian and Liu Hongji are also at odds, and he can see that Li Chengqian is going to be the master of himself, so his waist is straighter.
Dare to face the tough Liu Hongji.
He was so angry that he almost couldn't speak.
But there is no way to refute it.
"Oh? In this way, it was Liu Hongji who was wrong first, and the insult just now, this king also heard it clearly. In this way, you will be punished! β
When Li Chengqian said that he would be punished, Liu Hongji knew that he was miserable.
Because he knew that Li Chengqian would not let him go.
Now that's interesting.
Everyone was there waiting to see what was going on.
So how to be punished?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, in this court, I am afraid that only His Majesty can punish the ministers, you are overstepping your authority! Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty knows? β
Liu Hongji is not afraid at all, why? Because Li Shimin also attaches great importance to him.
What he meant was that Li Chengqian was not qualified enough to punish him.
"Are you questioning the power of this king?"
Li Chengqian said coldly, his tone was very cold.
The crowd shuddered.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, this matter is not a big deal, it is better to forget it!"
When Chang He heard that Liu Hongji had moved out of Li Shimin, he was a little frightened.
Whatever to say, Liu Hongji can be regarded as a celebrity in front of Li Shimin. He is only a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, how can he compare with him?
If one day, when he and Li Shimin say something that should not be said, he may lose his official position.
And he has persuasion, and he can get out of the way in the future, this guy is very shrewd!
Li Chengqian finally came across this good opportunity, how could he give it up?
"Forget it? No! Liu Hongji has to be punished today, otherwise this king will not be surnamed Li! β
Li Chengqian made a heavy oath that he would not give up if Liu Hongji was not punished this time.
When Liu Hongji heard this, he was a little surprised, and at the same time a little panicked.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, where can we say it to Your Majesty!"
Liu Hongji tried to leave, but was blocked by Xue Rengui.
"Liu Hongji, do you take the words of this king as the wind in your ears? One, this king is for the crown prince! Second, this king is also a scholar. His Majesty once said that the king's decision can be cut first and then played! β
When Li Chengqian's words came out, Liu Hongji was frightened.
Chop? Li Chengqian talked about chopping.
"You dare to kill me? How can I be a great hero, how dare I? β
"No, no, no, no. It's not worth beheading you, it's just a small punishment for you! β
Li Chengqian then said: "Xue Rengui, slap his mouth!" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Liu Hongji can be regarded as a national prince no matter how he is.
How can it be slapped in the mouth?
But in front of him was Li Chengqian, who was even bigger than him.
Whether it is the crown prince or Shang Shuling, is there an official who is not older than him?
Therefore, Liu Hongji may have to be beaten in vain.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can't do this!"
Liu Hongji strongly objected.
But it was too late, because Xue Rengui's hand had already been raised.
I'm afraid this matter is going to be provoked.
