Chapter 647: Drunken Misfortune
Undercover is a very complicated profession, which has existed since ancient times, such as Zheng Guo, who consumed the national strength of the Qin State to repair water canals, such as the beautiful Xi Shi who was sent by Gou Jian to King Wu, etc., of course, except for the teasing of Jiang Gan of the Three Kingdoms.

Satisfaction is also undercover.
In fact, if Li Su hadn't entered Taichang Temple, hadn't listened to the music in the music class, and hadn't seen him in the crowd like a flower, I'm afraid that he would still be a little music boy in Taichang Temple, living a simple but contented life, ordinary, and a little ideal, and then marry a wife in a few years, and spend his life without wind and waves.
However, from the moment Li Su saw him, the fate of the heart changed from then on, he lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, he had a man with a noble status and special favor for him, almost all the eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace regarded him as a concubine, but he was not happy, he became more and more depressed and more and more painful.
The source of the pain is not only the mysterious person hiding in the dark corner who supports him, but what is more painful is that when he and Li Chengqian's freak love is getting deeper and deeper, Li Chengqian is becoming more and more strange.
Cruel, tyrannical, ruthless, he can no longer see the Sven and reasonable before, and now when he sees him every day, he is either drunk or singing and dancing, and kills the eunuchs and palace maids in the East Palace as livestock at every turn, only by being satisfied with him can he see a touch of true feelings from his eyes, but such true feelings cannot contain the coldness in his bones.
Li Chengqian has changed, and his satisfaction has also changed.
Love, fear, want to stay, and want to escape.
The cold voice of the mysterious man in the dark alley kept echoing in his ears.
"The prince transposed, that is, when you regained your freedom, gave you ten thousand gold fields, carriages and horses, and from then on, incognito, to be an ordinary rich man, like Xi Shi in the Spring and Autumn Period, you can return to the mountains and rivers with Fan Li, and you will be free to live in this life."
It was a promise, a compensation for the rest of his life.
Smile bitterly and return to the mountains and rivers, what a beautiful day, but does such a day really belong to him?
He...... It's just a pawn.
In the garden of the East Palace, the body of the little eunuch was no longer human, Li Chengqian slashed him with a sword and cut him to a blur of flesh and blood, and he was tired of chopping, Li Chengqian bent over and gasped, after the emotional catharsis, looking at the puddle of rotten meat on the ground, Li Chengqian showed a disgusting expression, turned around and saw a frightened look behind him, Li Chengqian frowned, and then snorted heavily.
"Call for him, and carry him out and bury him, and this matter shall not be publicized."
After speaking, Li Chengqian flicked the sleeves of his robe and left as if nothing happened.
He looked at the corpse blankly for a long time, and then suddenly bent down and vomited.
**************************************************************************
The corpses were disposed of, Li Chengqian held a banquet in the front hall as usual, and the beautiful dancers waved their long sleeves and writhed gracefully in the pleasant music.
Li Chengqian held the lamp in one hand and hugged it in the other, and his cheeks flushed from drunkenness.
Chengxinqiang smiled and poured wine for him, one after another, the wine was sultry, and Li Chengqian became more and more drunk.
"Good wine, beautiful sex, people are drunk, and the husband should be like this!" Li Chengqian laughed profligately.
Cheng Xinqiang smiled and said: "Your Highness is in high spirits today, and the slave is happy for His Highness." ”
Li Chengqian's hand suddenly increased his strength, his mouth sprayed a strong smell of wine, he burped, and said drunkly: "Satisfied, on the day of the unification, you will be the queen of the princess, the crown princess Su...... There is no fun, only chattering and persuading me to persuade me this and persuade me to that, and the old horsemen in the East Palace have a virtue, and they are lonely if they are on the throne...... She will be destroyed! Or the most empathetic to loneliness, lonely ...... Make you the ......"
Hearing this, Chengxin's heart trembled, and then he smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you are really drunk, can you go back to the dormitory to rest?" ”
Li Chengqian laughed and said: "The silk and bamboo are pleasant, the singing and dancing are dancing, why is there anything drunk?" Satisfied, don't spoil my interest! Come, full of wine! ”
With a faint sigh, he filled the pot with wine for him, and glanced at the verandah of the hall inadvertently.
Under the corridor, a thin figure stood quietly behind the wall, and in the dark corner where the palace lamp could not illuminate, the gray sleeves of the robe accidentally exposed a corner, but Li Chengqian, who was drunk, did not notice it.
Satisfied with a glance, hesitated for a moment, and finally secretly gritted his teeth, piled up a smile like a flower, and saluted Li Chengqian with a cup: "Slave for His Highness, if His Highness inherits the unification in the future, I only hope that you will not forget the love with the slave in the past few years......"
Li Chengqian drank it all in one gulp, and laughed and said: "How can I forget, rest assured, I will never fail you, a hundred years ago, there was a Chen Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Chen Dynasty favored Han Zigao alone, the two loved each other like glue, day and night, Emperor Wen said that he would be crowned the queen one day, haha, the male queen...... Emperor Wen Chen has such courage, how can he be lonely and beautiful? What he can do, he dares to do! Satisfied, when you sit on that throne, you will be the lonely male queen. ”
His eyebrows moved slightly, and he lowered his head and said softly: "Your Royal Highness is favored by Your Highness, but the slave is a man after all, and I am afraid that it will be shocking to be named the queen, and there are many loyal and upright ministers in the court, even if Your Highness is the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that you can't do what you want, Your Highness's favor for the slave, the slave accepts and is grateful, but please don't take it ......seriously, but please don't take it seriously."
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "You don't believe me? Don't you believe I'll make you queen in the future? ”
Chengxin showed a panicked expression, and poured wine for him with a forced smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, come, slave Your Highness, please drink your Highness......"
Li Chengqian borrowed the strength of the wine, and said with red eyes: "Don't take the words away, be satisfied, when Gu takes the throne, you will know whether what I said is true or false!" What loyal and upright ministers, the black and white of the world, are all in their mouths......"
After a long wine burp, Li Chengqian's body was already shaking a little, but he snorted coldly: "I am the son of heaven, I should wanton my desires, and if there is a counselor, I will kill him, kill five hundred people, isn't it maybe?" Loyal and upright ministers? Haha......"
When this famous bastard said it, he sighed quietly, lowered his head and said no more.
Well, the task given to him by the mysterious man has been completed, and all he wants is this sentence, and the figure outside the hall ...... This is also the sentence that waits.
As soon as Li Chengqian's words fell, an angry snort came from under the corridor of the hall.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have gone too far! Dumb and cruel, how can you be a king! ”
A loud shout interrupted the beautiful atmosphere of silk and bamboo singing and dancing in the hall, and all the musicians and kaki dancers in the hall stopped and looked out of the hall with a stunned face.
Outside the door of the main hall, Zhang Xuansu, the prince's left concubine in a gray robe, stood outside the threshold, glaring at Li Chengqian with an angry face.
Li Chengqian was also stunned, and his expression quickly flashed with a trace of panic and panic.
************************************************************************************
No one knows better than Li Chengqian what terrible consequences a sentence can cause.
Tai Chi Palace.
It was late at night, the Ganlu Hall was still lit with palace lanterns, the hall was quiet, and a palace lamp hung high above illuminated the hall as white as day.
Li Shimin rubbed his temples and was reviewing the recital.
Since he ascended the throne, the review has become one of the things he spends the most energy on every day, the four words "Zhenguan Zhizhi" are easy to say, but they are the result of the hard work of the monarchs and ministers day and night, and the effort to govern a country is absolutely unimaginable to others, thousands of copies of the music every day, Li Shimin will never fake others, every copy is opened by him personally, every word must be read in, and every sentence of the words approved by the imperial pen is written clearly and clearly, this kind of work, Li Shimin has done it for 17 years.
The primary condition for becoming a saint is to be diligent and never slack off.
The night was dark, the air was still a little hot, the candle light on the low table was a little dim, Li Shimin took the needle, lit up the wick a little, and then looked at the notes on the table that were still piled up and waiting to be reviewed, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, sighed, and cheered up to continue to read.
Getting up earlier than a chicken and working more tired than a dog is the price of being an emperor, and enjoying the glory of all nations worshipping Qi and calling him "Heavenly Khan" must pay such a price.
In the middle of the night, there was a very abrupt sound of footsteps outside the hall.
Soon, a eunuch outside the palace gate knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Xuansu, the prince's left concubine, asks to see you." ”
Li Shimin frowned: "It's so late, what did Zhang Xuansu do when he saw me?" Tell him that he will talk about it tomorrow. ”
After speaking, Li Shimin no longer paid attention to the eunuchs, and hung his head and continued to review the recital.
I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin inadvertently looked up and found that the eunuch was still trembling and kneeling at the door.
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, Zhang Xuansu knelt outside the palace gate for a long time, saying that there was something important to start Your Majesty, and it was about ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace. ”
As soon as he heard the word "prince", Li Shimin couldn't refuse.
This is a piece of his heart, he hasn't seen his eldest son for half a year, but Li Shimin is not as indifferent as the outside world speculates, in fact, there is news from the East Palace every day into the Taiji Palace, what Li Chengqian ate, what his appetite was, how much wine he drank, what words he said, and even ...... Recently, he has been very fond of a man who was born as a child in Taichang Temple, etc., no matter how big or small, Li Shimin knows it clearly.
The clearer he became, the more disappointed Li Shimin became, and the more he didn't want to see him.
In this way, the father and son formed a vicious circle in inquiring about each other, and the relationship became worse and worse.
"What's wrong with the prince?" Li Shimin finally put down his pen, straightened up and asked.
The eunuch said cautiously: "The slave and maid don't know. ”
Li Shimin thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Xuanzhang Xuansu is here." ”
The eunuch hurriedly withdrew and sent the decree.
It didn't take long for Zhang Xuansu to walk to the door of the main hall in a hurry, stepped over the threshold with one foot, and then fell to his knees with a thud, under Li Shimin's stunned gaze, Zhang Xuansu fell to the ground and cried out sadly: "Minister Zhang Xuansu has a holy grace, and his sin deserves death, please forgive your majesty!" ”
Li Shimin was startled, hurriedly got up and walked to Zhang Xuansu, personally stretched out his hand to help him, and said warmly: "Why did Zhang Qing say this? What happened at night? ”
Zhang Xuansu shook his head and refused to get up, still bowed to the ground, and cried: "The minister is ashamed of his high hopes for His Majesty, in the past few years, he has taught His Royal Highness the Prince, and the minister does not dare to slack off, but His Royal Highness does not want to forge ahead, his words are dim, his behavior is tyrannical, and the minister is dead, he is not worthy of this heavy responsibility, and he is afraid of carrying the infamy of the ages, so he asks His Majesty for his guilt today......
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is brainless, what does Zhang Qing want to say?" Could it be that the prince was stubborn and made Zhang Qing feel wronged? It doesn't matter, I ordered the prince to make amends to you, please say that Zhang Qing can't mention it again, so as not to spoil the feelings of my monarch and ministers. ”
Zhang Xuansu burst into tears like rain, bowed his head and cried: "The minister was valued by His Majesty in the eighth year of Zhenguan, appointed as the right concubine of the prince, and later promoted to the left concubine, assisted the prince to supervise the country and listen to the government, taught the art of the prince and the emperor, and returned for seven years, the minister did not dare to forget the trust of His Majesty and the society, and worked hard all day long, and worked tirelessly, the prince's words and deeds were slightly inappropriate, and the minister would advise and admonish in order to correct the hearing, but this time, the minister ...... It's really desperate, Your Majesty can no longer assist His Royal Highness the Prince, I just want to resign and return to my hometown, and avoid the temple......"
Li Shimin frowned, hearing this, he finally realized that something was unusual.
I'm afraid this is not an ordinary monarch and minister, otherwise Zhang Xuansu would not be like this, when he decided to repair Luoyang Palace, Zhang Xuansu was angry with his advice, and he had never seen him so disheartened and sad when the knife was put on his neck.
"Zhang Qing got up, what did you say, what happened to the prince? Just say that I am not biased. ”
Zhang Xuansu sighed with tears.
The ministers of the East Palace, in the eyes of outsiders, it is an official position with a promising future, the old ministers of the prince's palace, as long as he has the patience to wait for the old emperor to kick his legs and return to the sky, and the prince ascends the throne, he will be reused as an old minister of the East Palace, and it is not difficult to be the prime minister of the three provinces who are extremely popular.
However, Li Chengqian's words tonight, "If there is a counselor, I will kill them, and I will kill 500 people." This sentence finally shocked him, and he was completely disappointed in Li Chengqian, and even chilled.
Such a tyrannical king, if he becomes emperor in the future, will not there be a river of blood? Is such a prince worthy of his assistance?
Zhang Xuansu found out for the first time that the person he had assisted over the years turned out to be such a character, and he found that he couldn't afford to serve the marquis, one was cold, the other was afraid, and the third was mourning for tens of millions of Li people.
Thinking about it and hesitating, Zhang Xuansu was a well-known upright minister in the Zhenguan Dynasty after all, and he chose to enter the palace to perform truthfully.
"Kill 500 people, isn't it certain", this sentence is at most a drunken arrogant remark when others say it, anyone who says this can be regarded as a joke or a drunken remark, anyone can say it, but the prince can't say it.
This sentence came out of Li Chengqian's mouth, the nature is completely different, no one dares to treat it as nonsense or drunken nonsense, and no one thinks that this is just a bastard remark, because he is the crown prince, any time, any place, any word, listening to other people's ears, will automatically rise to the political height, no other reason, because he is the crown prince, he said that after becoming the emperor, kill five hundred ministers, anyone must take it as a truth, listen to it carefully, and keep it in mind, because he has the ability to do this, And even more.
I have to say that this sentence is too serious, Zhang Xuansu can no longer stand in Li Chengqian's position to help him whitewash the peace, even if he is a subordinate of the East Palace, he can't hide it, he is afraid of taking responsibility, afraid of being infamous through the ages, he has taught for seven or eight years, and he has taught such a No. 1 color, Zhang Xuansu is so ashamed that he really wants to die in front of Li Shimin.
The original words of the original text were not changed word for word, and Zhang Xuansu honestly repeated them in front of Li Shimin.
After hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes were glazed, he was silent for an unknown amount of time, his expression was full of disbelief, and finally he sneered, shook his head and said, "Zhang Qing's words are exaggerated, right?" Although Cheng Qian said that he would not grow up, he would not be stupid and cruel, my son, I know him, there have been all kinds of unsatisfactory things in the past two years, and he is not enterprising, he indulges in wine, and even killed the eunuchs in the East Palace because of his petty mistakes, I know all this, but it is impossible for him to say such a bastard thing, haha, I am afraid that Cheng Qian was drunk at that time, and his speech was slurred, and Zhang Qing heard it wrong. ”
Zhang Xuansu didn't argue, knelt in front of him and hung his head and wept silently.
There is no argument, but the most powerful explanation.
Looking at Zhang Xuansu's complex expression of guilt and resentment, Li Shimin's smile also stiffened a little, and then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, his face gradually changed his face, his stiff and frozen smile gradually retracted, his expression began to be solemn, and finally quickly turned into a flushed anger, and his broad chest began to rise and fall rapidly.
He ...... Is that really the case? Li Shimin said in a cold tone.
Zhang Xuansu did not answer directly, but fell to the ground and cried: "The minister is derelict in his duties, and the minister is not effective in assisting the prince, and the crime deserves death!" ”
Li Shimin let out a heavy gasp and closed his eyes in frustration.
“…… Kill 500 people, isn't it certain? Li Shimin muttered these words, and his shocked and angry expression fell on Zhang Xuansu's eyes, which was extremely terrifying.
"It's so bold, hehe......" Li Shimin suddenly sneered.
Since he ascended the throne, there have been many ministers in the court, from Wei Zheng to the supervisors of the imperial history of the Imperial History Tower, and then to the scholars around him, strictly speaking, these people are all considered ministers, with Li Shimin's broad mind, sometimes he can't wait to kill all these disgusting things who have nothing to pick on.
However, he didn't dare to kill, he didn't dare to kill anyone, even if Wei Zheng was standing on the Golden Palace, pointing at his nose and scolding him three times in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he didn't move Wei Zheng even a finger.
Now it's okay, the blue is better than the blue, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened his mouth and said, "If there is a counselor, I will kill him", and he will "kill five hundred people"......
If he was so stupid, Li Shimin still couldn't believe that this was actually said by the dignified prince.
Looking at Zhang Xuansu, who was speechless, Li Shimin's brows wrung out of water, and he glanced at him with a gloomy expression.
At this time, Li Shimin still didn't want to fully believe his words, because Li Chengqian was not only the crown prince, but also his own son, but Zhang Xuansu was just an outsider, and Li Shimin was unwilling to wronged his own son because of an outsider's words.
"Xuan ...... The prince will meet you right away! I...... Wanted to ask him! Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and burst out of his teeth. (To be continued.) )
