Chapter 12 Short-handedness

Du He and Zhao Jie came to the Jiafu Gate of the East Palace, and saw one or two hundred people outside, and the ruble was standing in front and talking to Kong Yingda. Seeing them come out, he raised his voice and shouted: "Quickly ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out and give an explanation to the people, don't think that there is no justice in the world?"

The two of them walked out with cold faces, and two pairs of fire-breathing eyes looked at the guards in front of the East Palace.

"Are you all dead? Let these people mess around in front of the East Palace, and don't use the whip to pull me out! Zhao Jie roared angrily.

"Nonsense! How can the people who avenge their grievances be beaten?" A loud shout immediately overwhelmed Zhao Jie, and it was Kong Yingda, who had a white beard, who was looking at him angrily.

Zhao Jie was furious and wanted to reason with Kong Yingda, but was stopped by Du He, he looked at the somewhat hesitant guards, and shouted: "Are you listening to Confucius, or are you listening to His Royal Highness the Prince?" He turned back to the little eunuch who came with him and said, "Don't invite Confucius in, it's freezing outside." ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly went up and grabbed Kong Yingda left and right, and walked inside.

Du He only looked coldly at the guards in front of the East Palace, and then the guards drew their whips and slowly stepped forward.

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Luble yelled hysterically: "As a prince, he does not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, oppresses the people, how to inherit the ......" Zhao Jie did not wait for him to finish, drew his whip and stepped forward to 'snap papa' for a while, and the guards followed closely to the group of complainants, and for a while the ghost cried wolf howling in front of the East Palace.

Fortunately, Du He remembered Li Chengqian's instructions and stopped Zhao Jie from making a dead move, and Lu Bule ran to Dali Temple with a group of wounded people.

Running and shouting something.

Du He and Zhao Jie were on the way back, and when they walked through the gate of Zuo Chunfang, they heard Kong Yingda still scolding Li Chengqian loudly, Yu Zhining persuaded a few words, and when he couldn't persuade him, he was silent.

Li Chengqian listened to Du He and Zhao Jie's report, and was shocked, he had seen Li Chengqian send assassins to assassinate Zhang Xuansu and assassinate Li Tai in the history books, and later he was ready to rebel, thinking that even if he was not good at civil governance, he at least had some troops, why didn't the guards in front of the door obey the order?

It's no wonder that his rebellion and assassination failed, how can he not be defeated even if the guards in front of the door do not listen to the greetings.

But this is just a reason for him to make this matter bigger.

"Old ghost, go and reward each of the minions in Zuo Chunfang with twenty boards, let them serve the three masters well, and then some masters will run around and beat them to death.

In addition, he went to various places to send orders to Hou Junji, Liu Xun, Yang Shidao, Gao Shilian, and Sun Fujia to the Jiade Hall to see King Gu, and also called the left and right prison gate rates of the East Palace.

Let them call all the guards of the East Palace with the prison gate to the large square in front of the Gard Hall. ”

The left and right prison gate rate houses are the guard bureaus of the East Palace, and the left and right prison gate rates are the two bureau chiefs, corresponding to the left and right prison guards of the Taiji Palace.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you going to do?" Xu Jingzong looked frightened.

When Du He and Zhao Jie heard this, they looked excited, and looked at Li Chengqian with bright eyes.

"Don't do anything, reason with them." Li Chengqian said quietly: "You can also listen to it later." ”

Then Li Chengqian glanced back again, and Zhao Jie said excitedly: "There is a drudgery handed over to you, are you willing?" ”

"I am willing to die for His Highness!" Zhao Jie's face turned straight and he hugged his fists.

"Okay, you now prepare five hundred taels of silver and a few fast horses, take the Lone King's edict, and immediately set off to Xiu Village, Longmen County, Jiangzhou, Hedong Province to find a person named Xue Lizi Rengui. You told him: The imperial court wants to go east to conquer Goguryeo and lacks a vanguard general, and the god of the night dream of the palace reminds him that he is skilled in bows and horses and strong in martial arts, and he is a pioneer general when he is in the eastern expedition to Goguryeo. But because he is not good at the art of war, the palace is now calling him to Beijing, and I want to introduce him to Li Weigong as a teacher to learn the art of war, without delay, and I will see him early the next morning. On the way, you must look at him with a good voice, and do not be rude to him, for five hundred pieces of silver are for him to settle down. ”

Seeing Li Chengqian's solemn order, Zhao Jie was busy and solemnly went out to prepare. Li Chengqian asked for a pen and paper, and wrote an edict to Xue Rengui in his own handwriting, and asked him to send it to Zhao Jie.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what you said is true, that Xue Rengui can really be the vanguard general of the Eastern Expedition?" Du Ke asked curiously.

"The man of God has proclaimed." Li Chengqian is unfathomable.

---------------

The matter in front of the Dali Temple and the East Palace was spread to various yamen and mansions in the capital, and most of the people gave a thumbs up when they heard it, praising the ruble as the strong point of the Tang Dynasty, and then criticizing the crown prince Li Chengqian for being arrogant and domineering, and some even wrote a note on the impeachment of the crown prince and waited for it to be submitted tomorrow.

There are also a small number of people who feel that it is a violation of etiquette and the system to break into the East Palace with the ruble, and there is a suspicion of inviting a name to buy a straight one, of course, these people dare not make a sound.

There are only two mansions in the capital that are a little abnormal, one is the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji, in the afternoon, the eldest grandson Wuji heard about what happened at the gate of the East Palace, and immediately ordered his family to prepare a salute for him, and he was going to the Taoist temple outside the city to alchemy.

At the same time, he called several sons to the front and told them to be on errands, not to talk nonsense, and to go home and close the door when they were on duty.

The eldest grandson Wuji almost went out of the city with Zhao Jie.

The other is Li Jing's mansion, a few years ago, because Li Jing was worried about Li Shimin's suspicion, he demolished the shadow door wall in the mansion, lived in the hall every day, and opened the door for others to watch, in order to show selflessness. In recent years, as Li Jing has become older and older, and he has also moved away from the center of power, Li Shimin's suspicion of him has gradually been put down, so the door of Li Jing's house has been closed again.

This afternoon, when Li Jing heard what happened in the East Palace, the first thing he did was to order his family to open the door and not close it.

-----------------

When it was time for dinner, Hou Junji, Liu Xun, Yang Shidao, Gao Shilian and Sun Fujia came to the Jiade Palace.

Among them, Hou Junji, Liu Xun, Yang Shidao, and Gao Shilian are all prime ministers in Beijing, and Sun Fujia is the top boss of Dali Siqing Lub.

The prime ministers and Sun Fujia had already heard about the incident in front of the East Palace, and several prime ministers were called, thinking that Li Chengqian was looking for them to wipe their buttocks, so they felt very relaxed. Even if Sun Fujia and his subordinates brought people to the East Palace, he believed that he was a minister of the court, and he asked for sick leave, so he couldn't be implicated, so he had no fear.

Li Chengqian quietly observed these ministers in the apse, and saw that they all looked relaxed, and they didn't take themselves to heart at all, so he gritted his teeth secretly.

Hou Junji now wants to get on Li Chengqian's ship, but the real purpose is to make Li Chengqian the emperor of Han Xian, and Hou Junji to be Cao Cao.

Gao Shilian is the maternal uncle of the eldest grandson queen, and he is his uncle and grandfather, but Gao Shilian has always looked forward to the eldest grandson Wuji, and will not favor Li Chengqian.

Yang Shidao's heart is here, but he is timid and afraid, his ability is average, and he is of little use.

Liu Xun is Li Tai's sworn friend, and he is still very strong, and he will definitely oppose all his orders.

After analyzing the situation of these people, Li Chengqian came to a conclusion that everything here has to rely on himself.

Li Chengqian stood up with a special iron cane and walked into the hall step by step, and the ministers hurriedly got up and saluted, Li Chengqian ignored the frost on his face, and went straight to the main seat and sat down.

After waiting for a while, he said lightly: "Let's be even." ”

Everyone bent over for a long time, and when they raised their heads, they couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian carefully.

Li Chengqian had not handled official business for a long time, and he had little contact with the ministers, and these ministers had a sense of strangeness to him for a while.

Li Chengqian waited quietly for them to speak, but none of them were willing to speak.

Seeing that the old foxes didn't speak, Li Chengqian secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, and said coldly: "Spread the prison rate of the East Palace. ”

At one moment, two young generals walked into the main hall and saluted Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at this young general, and knew that they were either meritorious or children of a big family, and those who relied on their family strength to enter the East Palace and mixed their qualifications were not something that he could win over now, so he was not polite.

"Tell King Gu about the incident in front of the East Palace this afternoon."
