Chapter 401: Yu Zhining

Although the direct cause of the death of Chengxin was Zhang Ji's lawsuit, which made Li Shimin know about the fact that Chengxin entered the Jiucheng Palace, but in the final analysis, the origin of this matter is that Li Chengqian pampered and satisfied, and abandoned his government affairs and studies, which made Li Shimin feel very sad. Even if Zhang Ji didn't come to make a small report, it would be a matter of time before Li Shimin was killed.

However, Li Chengqian didn't see this, on the one hand, he blamed Zhang Yunwen for not keeping his word, and instigated his son to complain to Li Shimin, well, at least that's what he thinks. On the other hand, he complained about Li Shimin, the eldest grandson, and even Yu Zhining.

When the body of the heart was thrown out of the palace, Li Chengqian sent someone out to bury the coffin of the heart, which can be regarded as doing his best, and the fate of the past two years has been over!

However, I don't know if the death of satisfaction hit him too hard, and Li Chengqian actually did something that shocked people. He actually erected a tablet for the statue of Chengxin in the palace and paid homage to it. This matter reached Li Shimin's ears, and Li Shimin immediately sent someone to destroy all the statues and tablets. If this matter spreads, where is the royal face?

At the same time, he also called Li Chengqian to his side and scolded him with his head and face. Li Chengqian retreated in a huff.

But he never made any outrageous moves on the surface anymore.

And Li Shimin's attention gradually moved away from Li Chengqian. At this time, he was worried about the matter of sealing Zen.

At today's court meeting, Taishi ordered Xue Yi to stop sealing Zen, the reason was that he watched the stars at night last night, and saw a comet passing through Zhongtian, which was too slight, which was a great bad omen.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, and the ministers were in an uproar.

For this Zen sealing ceremony, Li Shimin and the ministers of the court began to prepare in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, until now, the etiquette was finally set, and began to prepare the items of the Zen sealing.

And now, this Taishi Ling Xue Yi is saying that the stars are different and stop sealing Zen, how can this make those ministers who are gearing up agree?

At that moment, there were several officials in the book, saying that the imperial court for the matter of sealing Zen, prepared for a long time, if it is halfway to stop the drum, I am afraid it is not appropriate, it is better to travel to the east when the Zen, send more people, mobilize elite soldiers, along the way, if there is really any movement, it is good to deal with the emergency.

This statement was opposed by many ministers, among whom Chu Suiliang was the most resolute. What he said about the heavens and human intentions is irresistible, and if it is done against the grain, the consequences will be unpredictable.

This controversy lasted for two days, and in the end, Li Shimin still ordered to stop sealing Zen.

After the edict to stop sealing Zen was announced to the world, Xue Yantuo's envoys did not dare to delay and sent the information back to Xue Yantuo again. However, when the messenger had just arrived in Monan, he found that it was already in flames.

In the East Palace, Li Chengqian yawned weakly, picked up a glass of wine on several cases, and drank it slowly.

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, even Su Gan Chengji, Li Chengqian's henchman, couldn't help but shake his head. Looking at Li Chengqian's state, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

After claiming that his heart was dead, Li Chengqian was reprimanded by Li Shimin again, his mental state was extremely sluggish, his mood was depressed, and he was also powerless to do things. Nowadays, I don't deal with political affairs every day, I don't study with teachers, and I drink and have fun all day long.

Those subordinate officials of the East Palace, except for the crown prince, the prince, the master and the prince, and others, were not taken seriously by Li Chengqian. And the Taishi and Taifu are important ministers in the court, and they rarely come to the East Palace, so Li Chengqian is in a state of no one to supervise him all day long. Those teachers who came to teach were completely disappointed in Li Chengqian, and came to the East Palace every day, sat in the teaching place, and then closed their eyes to recuperate, and estimated that the time was up, so they picked up the books and flashed people.

"Why is Your Highness so depressed?" Just as Nagan Chengji was pondering, a voice suddenly sounded. As soon as he heard this voice, Su Gan Chengji came back to his senses suddenly, looked at the old man in front of him, and said with emotion: "Yu Zhanshi, you are back!" ”

This old man is Yu Zhining, who said goodbye to Li Chengqian in the Jiucheng Palace not long ago. Now, nearly two months have passed, and Yu Zhining has returned to the East Palace again.

"Ahem, answer the old man's question first, why did His Highness languish so much?" Yu Zhining was a little uncomfortable with the enthusiasm that Su Gan Chengji suddenly showed, coughed lightly, and asked Su Gan Chengji.

Su Gan Chengji glanced at Li Chengqian, who was nearly five zhang away from him and was drinking by himself, and said softly: "Your Majesty will punish the heart rod to death, and then reprimand His Highness. Your Highness has become like this! ”

As soon as his words fell, Yu Zhining snorted coldly: "As a subordinate official of the East Palace, not only do you not persuade His Highness to stop him, but he is drinking in this place watching His Highness?" What a dereliction of duty! ”

Saying that, Yu Zhining shook his sleeves, came directly to Li Chengqian, and said loudly: "Weichen Yu Zhining see His Royal Highness!" ”

Li Chengqian raised his eyes, looked at Yu Zhining, and couldn't help but think of the situation when he bumped into himself and Xiangxin drinking and having fun in Jiucheng Palace, and sneered at the moment: "Haha, Lord Yu, now that Chengxin is dead, you should be happy now!" ”

Yu Zhining said lightly: "Where is Your Highness, if you are satisfied with death, what does it have to do with the old minister?" As the crown prince, the old minister is in charge of advising the prince directly, so as not to lead the prince astray. That satisfying thing is just a trivial matter, as long as it does not delay His Highness's study, the old minister will not care! But......" Saying this, Yu Zhining's tone suddenly hardened, "But His Royal Highness is so depressed for such a trivial matter, drinking all day long, and his fighting spirit is completely lost, where there is still the appearance of a half-cent prince?" ”

Li Chengqian pursed his lips and looked at Yu Zhining, his eyes were full of mockery: "Prince? Is my father still a lonely prince? In his eyes, Lone is always inferior to Li Tai! Not long ago, my father actually wanted to let Li Tai enter the Wude Palace? Haha, what kind of place is the Wude Palace? A prince lives in, what does that mean? ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhining hesitated for a moment and said, "But didn't Your Majesty later dismiss this idea?" Why should you worry! ”

Li Chengqian chuckled: "Yes, it's dispelled!" If it weren't for my uncle and Master Chu, who tried their best to admonish them, I'm afraid that Li Tai would have entered the Wude Hall by now! ”

Yu Zhining listened to it and sighed lightly, this matter of competing for the crown has been a very headache since ancient times, not to say it in situ, just say that Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng and others fought to the death for that position, and they did not share the sky. Compared with the tension at that time, the battle between Li Chengqian and Li Tai was already much milder.

Although he is the Donggong Zhan Shi of the third grade, he has no interest in the battle between the two. Therefore, all along, he only takes care of his own affairs, such as speaking out.

After looking around, Yu Zhining said solemnly: "The old minister still hopes that His Royal Highness can show the spirit of the past, and don't be depressed and depressed because of these little things." Uh, the old minister will retire first! ”

Li Chengqian looked at Yu Zhining's figure, but there was a miserable smile on his face: "A trivial matter? Hehe, what's the big deal? ”

On the second day, when Yu Zhining came to the East Palace, he found that Li Chengqian's mental state had improved a lot, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of secret joy in his heart, it seemed that his status in the prince's mind was quite high, and a few words made the prince listen to it in his heart.

However, Yu Zhining soon found out that things were not like that, and Li Chengqian did recover his spirits, but he still did not put his mind into studying government affairs. Li Chengqian thought that some of the buildings in the East Palace were too old, so he recruited craftsmen to demolish those buildings and build new ones. I usually have leisure, and I enjoy singing and dancing in the palace, and the songs and dances are mostly the music of Zheng and Wei, and the beautiful sound makes people indulge in it.

Seeing this situation, Yu Zhining wrote to Li Chengqian one after another, speaking bluntly and admonishing, but they were all sunk in the sea and silent. When facing Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian played haha again, perfunctory to Yu Zhining.

Finally, Yu Zhining saw that his words had no effect on Li Chengqian, so he wrote all of Li Chengqian's recent performances in a chapter and presented them to Li Shimin.
