Chapter 146: Complaint
Yichun North Garden. 35xs
Wang Quan said: "Lang Jun! The prince's housekeeper Li Yifu is begging to see! ā
"Why is he here?" Li Chengqian asked.
"It is said that there is something important, and I want to report it to Lang Jun!" Wang Quan said.
"Then let him wait in the Guangtian Palace, and the widow will pass!" Li Chengqian said.
"No!" Wang Quan stepped aside!
Li Yifu waited anxiously in the Guangtian Palace, every minute and every second of waiting was a kind of torment for him, time passed very slowly, and he felt like a year.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and the crisp sound of the crutches touching the ground reached Li Yifu's ears, and he suddenly hit a spirit.
Li Yifu sorted out the court clothes on his body, looked up at the door, and as far as his eyes could see, Li Chengqian's figure appeared on his eyelids.
Looking at the prince who was walking slowly, Li Yifu didn't care so much, trotted in front of Li Chengqian, and saluted.
"Your Highness! The minister has something important to report! ā
On Li Chengqian's handsome face, a pair of deep eyes looked at Li Yifu who bent down to salute him, his brows furrowed, and he saw a trace of panic and uneasiness on Li Yifu's face.
"What's going on? How does it make you panic? Li Chengqian stopped and asked.
"Your Highness! Marquis Junji of Chen Guo just withheld the money that the minister sent to the household department and took it! Not only that, Hou Junji also shot at the ministers, and asked His Royal Highness to be the master of the ministers. Li Yifu burst into tears, and as he spoke, he opened his clothes and exposed the injuries on his body to Li Chengqian.
"Presumptuous! You actually dare to do such an indecent act in front of His Royal Highness, and defile the dragon's eyes of the crown prince. Wang Quan, who was following behind Li Chengqian, scolded Li Yifu angrily for daring to pick up his clothes in front of the prince.
"Your Highness's forgiveness! The minister was in a hurry, and there were a number of rudenesses, and he hoped that His Royal Highness would forgive his sins. Li Yifu hurriedly apologized.
Li Chengqian didn't say anything, came to the main seat and sat down and said, "Tell me what's going on?" ā
Seeing that the crown prince didn't want to blame him, Li Yifu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness! Today, you have asked the royal officials to come to our palace to issue an order to send a part of the profits of the bank to the household department, and hand it over to the household department to enrich the treasury. ā
"But who knew that the person I sent came back to report that the money sent to the household department was withheld by Chen Guogong, saying that it was for another purpose."
"The minister was not angry, so he went to Hou Junji to theorize, who knew that he actually admitted the fact of withholding the money, and the minister asked him, but he not only did not give it but also beat the minister."
"It's nothing that Hou Junji beat the ministers, and the most important thing is that he doesn't take His Royal Highness in his eyes."
"Oh! How did Hou Junji not take the widow in his eyes? Li Chengqian said lightly.
The minister said that this money was used by His Royal Highness to enrich the treasury of the household department, and he Hou Junji had no right to embezzle it privately, and later the minister carried it out of His Royal Highness, but this Hou Junji not only spoke disrespectfully, but also threatened that even if His Royal Highness the prince was in person, he was not afraid of the prince. 35xsā
Li Yifu explained why Hou Junji didn't take Li Chengqian in his eyes, and told Li Chengqian about it.
A trace of anger flashed in Li Chengqian's eyes, this Hou Junji is too ignorant of lifting, it seems that he has to beat it up well, so that he knows who is the future master of this Tang Dynasty.
Beat Hou Junji, and warn the unruly old ministers by the way, so as not to be difficult for them to control after he ascends the throne in the future.
Li Chengqian also knew in his heart that there were untruths in Li Yifu's words, and he added fuel to Hou Junji.
But what does it matter?
Whoever dares to bully him Li Chengqian, he, the prince, must go back to the field, and he can't let others bully him at will.
Li Yifu is a subordinate official of the East Palace, and he is Li Chengqian's person, even if he is wrong, he is the prince who wants to be punished, and it is not Hou Junji's turn to come to Yue Yu to replace him.
If you can't protect the owner of your dog, who will do your best for you in the future, before and after the saddle.
No one wants to be bullied everywhere with a master of a wreck.
So today's calf, he Li Chengqian is protected.
"Hou Junji is really bold!" Li Chengqian angrily threw the dragon head crutch in his hand, and the crutch rubbed against the floor and drew far away, startling Wang Quan and Li Yifu.
Wang Quan immediately trotted over, bent down to pick up the crutches on the ground, turned around and trotted back.
"Why did Hou Junji appear in the household department, it doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of him, the secretary of the military department!" Li Chengqian said.
"The minister also asked, and Chen Guogong said that he still had the title of household secretary on his head, and it was logical to go to the household department." Li Yifu paused and continued.
"However, the minister heard from the head of the household department and the head of the household department that Chen Guogong went to ask for food."
"Food? What kind of food do you want? The imperial court allocated a full amount of food and salary to Hou Junji and his Flying Tiger Army every month, why did he still go to the household department to ask for it? ā
"Could it be that the household department did not allocate food and salary to Hou Junji, so Hou Junji ran to the household department to make trouble, and just happened to meet you to send someone to send money to the household department?" Li Chengqian asked.
At the beginning of Zhenguan, the 200,000 troops of the Turkic Jieli Khan invaded the Tang Dynasty, and the Turkic army was 40 miles away from Chang'an.
It was at that time that Hou Junji's Flying Tiger Army made great achievements against the Turks, and after this battle, the number of the Flying Tiger Army was controlled at 800 people.
Since then, Hou Junji's Flying Tigers have been paid by the imperial court and on time every month.
"The household squire said that he would send a full amount of food and salary to the Flying Tiger Army on time on the first day of the new month of each month, and he didn't dare to miss it at all."
"But Hou Junji is still dissatisfied, and asked the household department to pay another 1,600 people's salary, and the household department will naturally not agree, this is my person who just arrived at the household department, and the next thing has just been said by the minister." Li Yifu said.
"The widow wants to see what this Chen Guogong wants to do?"
"Wang Quan, immediately order someone to go to the Chen Guogong Mansion and summon Hou Junji to the widow to the East Palace to see the widow." Li Chengqian ordered.
"No!" Wang Quan received the order and asked one of the chamberlains to personally go to the Chen Guogong Mansion and invite Hou Jun to come to the East Palace.
Li Chengqian and the others waited for an hour or so, and when Li Chengqian was furious, Hou Junji was late.
"Lang Jun! Chen Guogong has arrived! "The chamberlain entered the temple to report.
"Humph!" Li Chengqian was dissatisfied with Hou Junji's arrival so late, and snorted coldly: "The widow has government affairs to deal with, so let Chen Guogong wait outside." ā
This Hou Junji is more and more distracted from taking him as a prince in his eyes, Li Chengqian decided to dry Hou Junji first and kill his sharp spirit.
"No!" The chamberlain retreated, and the chamberlain came to the outside of the hall to convey Li Chengqian's words to Hou Junji.
"Your Highness is busy with government affairs, and I ask Chen Guogong to wait here."
Hou Junji frowned, this prince was so rude, he invited him to the East Palace, but he hung him outside.
Hou Junji didn't care about this, and took a step forward directly, intending to break through.
"Chen Guogong, Chen Guogong, you can't go in, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered you to wait outside the palace." Seeing that Hou Junji was about to break in, the inner servant hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
If Chen Guogong was allowed to break into the main hall, they would all suffer.
