After a while, Zheng He, who was dressed in a purple official robe, walked into Li Chengqian's Chinese army tent with his head down, and looked up to see Li Chengqian wearing a military uniform and a tiger skin chair, looking at him lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The corner of his eyes swept to both sides, and he saw several generals with top helmets standing upright on both sides, especially the majestic veteran standing on Li Chengqian's left was Chi Gong, the Duke of Eguo, and he felt even more uncomfortable.

Hurriedly knelt down on his knees and said: "Zheng He, the governor of the Governor's Mansion of Chenfangchi, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Chengqian said expressionlessly: "Zheng Dudu is flat!" ”

Zheng He stood up, lowered his head and said with a smiling face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been marching hard for days, and the minister has prepared a residence for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Baiquan City, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move to Baiquan City so that he can rest for a few days." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian lightly refused: "King Lone's northern tour this time is going to Lingzhou, and Baiquan is just a temporary resting place, so he won't go into the city to disturb the people." ”

Zheng He didn't feel bored, and still said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince's compassion for the people is the blessing of all the people, but the people and officials of Baiquan City know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here on patrol, and they look forward to seeing His Royal Highness the Prince's heart like a drought seedling looking forward to rain and dew."

I have already prepared a banquet and prepared to wash the dust for His Royal Highness the Prince, and I am proud that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can deign to enter the city. ”

Before Li Chengqian could speak, Liu Kui, who was standing next to him, directly replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too busy with military affairs to leave the camp, if Governor Zheng has a dedication, send it to the camp!" ”

Zheng He didn't dare to scold Liu Kui when he heard this, and looked at Li Chengqian very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian groaned and said: "Since the officials of Baiquan County are so enthusiastic, the Lone King will set up a banquet in the camp for lunch today, and you all come and sit down at that time!" ”

Zheng He didn't know why Li Chengqian was always reluctant to enter the city, but Li Chengqian could only obey the order, and thought that he could also offer the gift he was going to give to Li Chengqian, so he was anxious to return to the city to prepare.

Hurriedly bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Xie will give a banquet, and the minister will go back to the city to prepare!" ”

When Zheng He walked out, Liu Kui couldn't help but say to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really clever, so he earned them into the camp." ”

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

At the beginning of the afternoon, Zheng He took the civil and military officials of the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion and Baiquan County to Li Chengqian's camp with several carts of gifts.

Li Chengqian casually glanced at the gift list, and saw that the gifts were some luxurious daily necessities, and some local specialties, so he didn't care.

He ordered someone to set up a simple banquet in his big tent, wanting to find out the details of these people again.

After the banquet was ready for everyone to take their seats, Zheng He stood up and said: "Playing His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is lonely in the army, so he specially brings the female music from the minister's house to cheer His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian became interested when he heard this, and asked lightly: "Zheng Dudu still raises female music while in office?"

Zheng He thought that he had voted for Li Chengqian's favor, and hurriedly said with a smile: "My Majesty Lai of the Tang Dynasty is eloquent and strategic, and now the king is in all countries and the four seas, although the minister is the governor of a state, he is really safe and sound, and he is naturally greedy for pleasure......

Li Chengqian saw that Zheng He claimed to be greedy for pleasure and didn't know whether it was true or not, so he nodded and allowed his female musician to enter the tent to dance.

After a while, eight scantily clad women walked into the big tent and saluted Li Chengqian, who also nodded with a smile.

Zheng He got a few colors of Li Chengqian, and naturally worked hard, because he pointed to the eight singers and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please see, these eight women were all purchased from Jiangnan by the ministers with a lot of money, and after being trained by famous artists, they are not only outstanding in appearance, but also graceful in dancing, and they make people forget their worries when they watch a song!" ”

Li Chengqian looked at the eight pink-faced beauties like flowers, thinking that they served Zheng He, an old pervert, every day, he felt a little uncomfortable and reluctantly waved his hand and said, "Let's start!"

Zheng He thought that Li Chengqian could not help himself when he saw the beauty, and he was overjoyed, and said to Li Chengqian while drinking: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, the roughness of this northern woman is difficult to see, although the women of the Western Regions also have a little color, but the smell of their bodies is really unpleasant, speaking of which, the beauties of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River make people ripple——"

"Zheng Dudu, you drank too much! How can you talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this?" Before Zheng He finished speaking, Lu Xiang, who was sitting next to him, interrupted with a righteous face.

Zheng He didn't care about Lu Xiang's face in order to please Li Chengqian at this time, and he was not angry when he interrupted him, and said to Lu Xiang with a smile: "Lu Don't drive, this is your fault, don't you also like the two singers that the old man gave you last time?"

This time, the old man has prepared a pair of fifteen-year-olds for the Prince's Palace—"

"Humph!" Lu Xiang couldn't stand Zheng He's vulgarity anymore, got up with a snort and walked to the center of the big tent and arched his hand to Li Chengqian: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to withdraw the song and dance, the minister Lu Xiang has something to play." ”

Seeing this, Li Chengqian waved his hand and motioned for the dancing singer to step down, Li Chengqian also heard the conversation between him and Zheng He just now, and wanted to hear what this Lu Xiang had to say at this time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Marquis Zhuge Wu said: 'The pro-virtuous ministers are far from the villain, and the place where the ancestors of the Han Dynasty is prosperous is also. The pro-villain is far from the virtuous minister, and since then the Han has declined. His Royal Highness the Prince, as the prince of the East Palace, should take this as a commandment, do not indulge in beauty, and do not get close to eunuchs.

The day before yesterday, the prince had ridden with his chamberlain, and he had already obeyed the law, and today he watched the song and dance——"

"Bang"

Li Chengqian kicked over the small table in front of him, and looked at Lu Xiang with a blue face, Li Chengqian really didn't expect this Lu Xiang to be so shameless.

The generals of the East Palace on both sides also glared at Lu Xiang murderously, and they didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had always been clean and self-conscious, would be slandered by Lu Xiang in person.

In the face of such a grim situation, Lu Xiang looked awe-inspiring, snorted coldly, looked at Li Chengqian, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have the open-mindedness and temperament to be happy when he hears it." ”

"Huh!" Li Chengqian laughed angrily, looked at Lu Xiang and said, "Even if the lonely king has the bearing of being happy when he hears it, he doesn't tolerate the traitor?"

What the?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to designate Lu Xiang as a traitor, is this too much?

The officials of the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion and Baiquan County all looked at Li Chengqian in horror.

Li Chengqian ignored these people, looked at Zheng He coldly and said coldly: "King Zheng He asked you, could the leader of the Xifeng clan go to see you the day before yesterday?"

How did you deal with it?"

Zheng He was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to remember the matter of sealing Zhu Jue, and hurriedly replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the former Richen did see a person from the party who was finely sealed...... They seem to say something about Wild Ritch bullying them...... The ministers had other affairs at that time, so they left their affairs to ...... Leave it to Lu Beijia to deal with. ”

Li Chengqian still asked in a cold voice: "Then you ask Lu Beijia, how did he deal with this matter?"

Although Zheng He didn't know why Li Chengqian suddenly asked this, he felt that this matter was by no means simple, so he hurriedly whispered to Lu Xiang: "Don't drive ...... Lu"

Lu Xiang listened to it for a long time and didn't realize that he had made any big mistake, thinking that it was just Li Cheng making trouble under the pretext of making trouble, so he raised his head and looked straight at Li Chengqian and said: "This matter is just a matter of the Dangxiang Qiang clan, and the minister naturally handed them over to the Ye Li clan, the leader of the Dangxiang Qiang.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't want to punish the sins of his ministers, would he?

That's really a sin that wants to be added! ”

Li Chengqian looked at Lu Xiang like a dead man, thinking that it would have been difficult for you to be charged with taking refuge in the anti-thief Yidi with your background, but if you seek death yourself, don't blame King Lone.

When Zheng He saw Li Chengqian's eyes, he knew that he was going to be bad, and hurriedly said loudly: "Presumptuous! How can you act so hastily?

The fine seal clan was originally here to sue the Ye Li clan for bullying them, can you get a fair deal if you hand over the fine seal to the Ye Li clan?"

When Lu Xiang heard this, he said very disdainfully: "Some barbarian things, I don't need to be a four-grade official of the imperial court to deal with it personally, right?"

Don't you need His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask in person?"

Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this: "Erfeng Erlu, the people's will and the people's anointing, this is how you treat the people?"

Lu Xiang said stiffly: "They are Qiang people!" ”

Li Chengqian was even more angry when he heard this: "Qiang people, since they have lost taxes to my Tang court, they are also the people of my Tang Dynasty." If they are in trouble, Datang should take care of it, you are an official of Datang but you don't solve problems for the people of Datang, are you still reasonable?"

"This?" Lu Xiangqi's face was pale, but he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian pursued and said: "Why can't you be good at arguing and quoting scriptures?"

Why don't you say it?

Lu Xiang, do you think the lonely king doesn't know?

The Yeli clan colluded with the rebellion of Xia Prefecture and forcibly robbed other Qiang people's cattle, sheep and horses and sent them to the rebels to fight against the imperial court, you don't know, right?"

What the?

All the officials of the Fangchi Governor's Mansion in the big tent were shocked, if what Li Chengqian said was true, then they were all guilty.

This kind of thing can be tolerated when someone else comes to trial, but now look at Li Chengqian's posture......

Without waiting for them to think about it, Li Chengqian directly shouted: "Someone! Zheng He, Lu Xiang, and the officials of the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Office and the officials of Baiquan County were all taken down for interrogation. ”

Immediately, everyone in the tent heard the footsteps of "pop papa", and a team of soldiers dressed in Mingguang armor walked into the big tent in neat steps, and directly escorted all the civil and military officials of the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion and Baiquan in the big tent.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been wronged, ......" Zheng He was the first to shout loudly.

At this time, all of Li Chengqian's actions were explained, and the more he was so, the more frightened he became.

Thinking of the rumors that Li Chengqian was killed at the Zhuque Gate in Chang'an, and the rumors that Li Chengqian beheaded a thousand Turks in one day......

Zheng Hezhi was so frightened that he burst into tears, and kept shouting loudly, and everyone else followed loudly when they heard it, and the big tent became very messy for a while......

Li Chengqian looked at them indifferently and waved his hand to escort them out.

After Zheng He and the others were escorted out of the big tent, Li Chengqian looked at Wei Chigong with a solemn face and said, "Duke Eguo, you immediately lead troops into Baiquan City and take over the Governor's Mansion of Fangchi Prefecture." ”

When Wei Chigong heard this, he saluted Li Chengqian solemnly, and said in a loud voice: "The minister obeys the order!" With that, he strode out of the Chinese army's tent.
