Chapter 288: Angry Li Chengqian
And just when Li Ke and the forbidden army were in a confrontation, the forbidden army captain had already run outside the theater, but with his identity, he couldn't get in, so he could only tell the guards the news that Li Ke and Li Tai had come back and killed people outside the Jiaxi Gate, and asked the guards to hurry in to report.
As soon as the guard heard this, he didn't dare to delay more, and immediately reported it, and soon Zhang Gao knocked on the door of Li Chengqian's room.
"Your Royal Highness, ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the King of Shu and His Royal Highness the King of Yue are back," Zhang Gao said, after saluting Li Chengqian.
"These two bastards still know to come back, when they come back, let them get in first, wait for the Spring Festival Gala to end, this king is cleaning them up, and don't tell Your Majesty when they come back, wait for this king to clean up and they are saying" Li Chengqian heard that Li Ke and Li Tai had returned, his face was overjoyed, but he did say that he wanted to clean them up.
Li Chengqian's subtle contrast happened to be seen by Cheng Zimo, who was sitting next to him, Cheng Zimo was very sorry to see Li Chengqian like this, but she didn't say it.
"Your Royal Highness, maybe His Royal Highness the King of Shu and His Royal Highness the King of Yue can't come in now, the two Highnesses killed a few coachmen outside the Jiaxi Gate" After Zhang Gao finished speaking, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Chengqian, he knew his master's temper.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Chengqian heard this, he exploded on the spot.
"Bastard, these two bastards, it's okay to sneak out to the battlefield, they actually kill people as soon as they come back, what do they want to do, if I don't kill them today, I'll take their surnames, go, find a thin strip for this king, and it's against the sky" Li Cheng stood up angrily, although he was angry, he didn't speak loudly, just whispered, after saying that, he walked out angrily, and didn't forget to tell Zhang Gao when he went out.
"Sister Xia Ju, the prince originally had the same surname as the King of Shu and the King of Yue, how could he say that he couldn't kill them, so he would have the same surname with them, but the King of Shu and the King of Yue were also excessive, how could they kill people" Cheng Zimo looked at Li Chengqian, who had disappeared, and asked puzzled.
"Our husband is so angry! Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing, but it could have been that he said it on purpose, because he couldn't really kill the third and fourth children at all, but when it came to them killing people, there should be a reason! Xia Ju said with some uncertainty, and at the same time, she was also curious about what made Li Ke and Li Tai make a murderous move.
Coming out of the room, Li Chengqian walked out quickly, but when he turned downstairs, because he was in a hurry, he collided with a young man, and his center of gravity was unstable and he was knocked to the ground.
"The prince forgives the sin, the minister didn't know that the prince was passing by, and he bumped into His Royal Highness the prince, and asked His Royal Highness the prince to forgive his sins" The person who knocked down Li Chengqian, after seeing that he hit the current prince, hurriedly saluted and made amends.
"Next time I walk...... It's the second child, you are here today, why don't you say hello to my brother when you come, don't you want to recognize me as a big brother" Hearing the other party's apology, Li Chengqian, who just wanted to reprimand the other party, found that it was no one else who bumped into him, it was Li Kuan, the younger brother of his fifth uncle Li Zhiyun, who was passed on to his fifth uncle Li Zhiyun.
Originally, according to the historical records, his younger brother should have died during the Wude years, but I don't know what the reason is, Li Kuan did not die, but he was seriously ill in the eighth year of Wude, and after being bedridden at home for three months, he miraculously recovered.
This made Li Chengqian, who knew about it, want to talk to him, but he never had the chance, because after Li Kuan recovered from his illness, he resigned like Li Shimin and returned to his fiefdom.
"Minister, just the king of a county, how dare you call the prince his brother, this is not a good etiquette" Li Kuan looked at Li Chengqian, lowered his head and said.
"Etiquette a few ghosts, don't say that you were originally my younger brother, even if it is passed on to the fifth uncle, then you should call me cousin, that is still my brother, what's the difference, but this matter, let's talk about it in a few days, I'll let someone call you in a few days, I'm busy beating the third and fourth children now, those two bastards, I won't talk to you more" After speaking, Li Chengqian patted Li Kuan on the shoulder, and left quickly.
Looking at Li Chengqian who left, Li Kuan's heart was very complicated, after he recovered from his illness, the reason why he was in a hurry to leave Chang'an was because he was not Li Kuan at all, he was the third son of Li Jiancheng, Li Chenghe, when he was in the Xuanwumen Change, in the face of a sudden attack, he escaped because of his life, and when the eldest grandson went to Wuji, he was already dying.
And in that attack, he also heard that the person who came to kill his family was a member of the family, and he fainted without hearing it.
After the eldest grandson Wujian rescued him, the upright Li Kuan died of illness, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian discussed letting Li Chengsi live in the name of Li Kuan, for which they also asked Li Chengsi to get some characteristics of Li Kuan, especially the scar on his forehead, but in order not to let people notice that Li Kuan had been dropped, after Li Chengsi recovered from his injury, they arranged for someone to send him away from Chang'an.
And the reason why Li Chengqian recognized Li Kuan at a glance was because of the scar on Li Kuan's forehead, which was left by Li Chengqian when he accidentally pushed Li Kuan down the steps and injured him when he was playing with Li Kuan when he was young.
However, this secret is only known to Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wujian and Li Kuan himself, the people who treated Li Chengsi's injuries back then have been secretly executed by Li Shimin, and the hundred horsemen and shadow guards who have been protecting Li Chengsi are all people who have never seen Li Kuan, so they have thought that it is Li Kuan who is protecting them for so many years.
And the reason why Li Chengsi will return to Chang'an this time is that Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian feel that after so many years, Li Chengsi has grown up and his appearance has changed to a certain extent, even if people who have seen Li Kuan before, they will only think that Li Kuan has grown up and will not have any doubts.
After Li Chengqian and Li Kuan separated, he walked out of the theater quickly and headed towards Jiaxi Gate.
When Li Chengqian came to Jiaxi Gate, he saw Li Ke, Li Tai and the forbidden army confronting each other, as well as a corpse not far away, Li Chengqian was so angry.
"You two bastards, you will kill people in the street when you come back, have you still taken the laws of the Tang Dynasty in your eyes, and you have not put away your weapons, and you are holding weapons against the King of Shu and King Yue today, are you planning to rebel? Don't let the king get out of the way yet" Li Chengqian shouted loudly pointing to the two sides that were facing each other, and under the protection of a group of secret guards, he walked towards Li Ke and Li Tai.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Ke and the others threw their weapons directly, while those forbidden soldiers and coachmen knelt on the ground in horror, especially those coachmen who participated in the siege of Li Ke and Li Tai were so frightened that their feet were weak at this moment.
And because Xu Cheng, who was cut off by Li Ke at the beginning, heard Li Chengqian's words at this moment, he was even more frightened and fainted.
