Li Chengqian listened to Pei Xingjian's words, and said with a slight smile: "Call them over." ”

Xue Rengui and Cheng Wuting also saw Li Chengqian coming, and they couldn't bear it, just waiting for Li Chengqian to call them, Pei Xingjian immediately picked up his horse and ran towards Li Chengqian as soon as he beckoned.

The two of them stood up on their horses and jumped down from Li Chengqian's five battles, ran to Li Chengqian, and looked at Li Chengqian's eyes with a smile, Xue Rengui thought that he hadn't even stopped Cheng Wuting as a child, his face was flushed with shame, and he hugged his fist and saluted Li Chengqian, bowed his head and didn't make a sound.

Cheng Wuting said angrily: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian looked at these two people with interest, thinking about how to educate these two people, and he couldn't make them feel guilty, so he slowly walked a few steps forward, paused beside Xue Rengui, looked at Xue Rengui's red face, and Xue Rengui made a snort in his mouth, and then raised his feet and walked to Cheng Wuting's side, although Cheng Wuting lowered his head, he was still angry, and he wanted to prove his strength.

Li Chengqian looked at it and shook his head slightly, walked back to the place where he was standing, and said with a smile: "Cheng Wuting just came and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, he was worried that someone would not accept it, so he wanted to show his strength, you Xue Rengui basically has no opponent in the East Palace, why is he still competing with a child?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xue Rengui listened and knelt down on one knee.

Li Chengqian nodded with a smile and said: "I know, you heard that Cheng Wuting will drive me in the future, and I'm worried that he won't be able to protect me, so I want to see his strength, I can understand this."

But it's not right for you to make such a big deal out of it, you must know that both of you are people trusted by the Lone King, and you make such a fuss as if the people under the Lone King's incompetent subordinates are about to start infighting. ”

Xue Rengui thought about it, why didn't he think about it for His Royal Highness the Prince?

Thinking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's trust in him and reusing him, and thinking about him everywhere, but he picks his nose and eyes at the people sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, is he better than His Royal Highness the Prince?

Xue Rengui knelt down on his knees when he thought of this, and said with red eyes: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the sins of the ministers." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the minister's fault, it is the minister's rudeness to contradict General Xue first, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the minister!" Cheng Wuting couldn't stand anymore when he heard this, thinking that Li Chengqian trusted him so much, he even made trouble?

Thinking about it again, today's incident was all his fault, and he knelt down and pleaded guilty with shame.

Li Chengqian saw that it was almost over, so he said with a calm face: "I know that I am wrong, so let's get up and have a good competition!" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, please punish His Royal Highness the Prince!" The two of them said in unison.

Li Chengqian looked at the two of them and said angrily: "Isn't it disappointing that you suddenly don't fight when you make such a big move?"

Of course, if you have violated the military law, you will have Pei Xingjian to deal with you, go and beat you first, and then go to Pei Xingjian to receive the punishment. ”

"The minister is willing to be punished!" Xue Rengui and Cheng Wuting said in unison.

Pei Xingjian stood behind Li Chengqian, his face was inconspicuous, and he pointed straight at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian saw Xue Rengui and Cheng Wuting turning over the saddle and getting on the horse with sad and angry faces, so he turned around and walked back, so he didn't bother to watch them compete, if he praised him again, the two of them would not be in the sky!

As soon as he turned around, he saw Ren Yaxiang leading Cheng Mingzhen to stand not far away, Cheng Mingzhen had already heard about Li Chengqian's arrangement for Cheng Wuting at this time, and when he saw Li Chengqian coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "It's all because the ministers are not strict with their godsons, so that the little animals have the audacity to hit General Xue and mess up the military discipline of the East Palace, and the ministers are willing to accept the guilt." As he spoke, he bowed his head and pleaded guilty to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took a few steps forward to help Cheng Mingzhen up, and said to him: "Cheng Qing's family doesn't have to worry too much, Cheng Wuting will discipline him well in the East Palace, but the Lone King has given him his life." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie trusts!" Cheng Mingzhen didn't have any excuse for this thanks, because he understood that this time their father was completely tied to Li Chengqian.

Originally, Cheng Mingzhen heard that Li Chengqian recommended him to Beijing as a prime minister, and he also thought that he had never begged Li Chengqian, even if he was recommended by him, as long as he acted in the future, he would not be considered a princeling by the courtiers.

So just now when Ren Yaxiang wanted to lead Cheng Mingzhen to Chongjiao Hall to meet Li Chengqian, he still wanted to shirk it, but just now he listened to Li Chengqian's arrangements for Cheng Wuting and Cheng Wuting's teachings, and he understood that his father and son had been labeled as Li Chengqian all their lives.

As for letting Cheng Wuting push Li Chengqian's errand, he didn't dare to give him a hundred guts, when the crown prince of the dynasty handed over his life to you, you still shirked, it was a dead end, and Li Chengqian didn't need to do it.

Li Chengqian saw that Cheng Mingzhen was not seen at all, and he was really happy in his heart, so he said: "Ling Lang and Rengui have a fight, let's go to the Chongjiao Hall first." "Go ahead first.

Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly said: "Obey the order!" He followed behind him, and didn't look at Cheng Wuting from beginning to end, showing that he had great trust in Cheng Wuting's martial arts.

Li Chengqian was walking and saw a little chamberlain coming over, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess asked where today's lunch was." ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he looked up at the sky, and saw that the warm sun was already due south, so he ordered: "Let them set up in the Chongjiao Palace, today King Gu and Cheng Qing's family will eat together in the Chongjiao Palace." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Nei hurriedly went to arrange.

Cheng Mingzhen walked behind Li Chengqian, seeing that he was limping and walking hard and slowly, but he was very steady, and secretly sighed in his heart that such a crown prince who was for the good of the country and the people was also impeached by the ministers......

The group walked into the Chongjiao Hall, Li Chengqian sat down behind the bookcase, and after the ministers finished saluting, Li Chengqian asked with a smile: "How do you feel when Cheng Qing's family arrives at the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

Cheng Mingzhen was moved by Li Chengqian at this time, and when he heard the question, he put aside all his scruples and said loudly: "Chang'an is in danger, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to save your life!" As he spoke, he slammed to the ground.

Li Chengqian was stunned by him, and then said: "Cheng Qing's family has something to say. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, today in the Taiji Palace, the ministers impeached His Royal Highness the Prince for selling grain in the East Market, and His Majesty decreed that the grain shop in the East Palace be closed, so that there will be no food in Chang'an City......"

Ren Yaxiang has been checking the account books of the Ministry of Civil Affairs whether there is any food in Chang'an City, of course Li Chengqian knew, and when he heard this, he just looked at Cheng Mingzhen with a smile.

Seeing this, Cheng Mingzhen knew that Li Chengqian already knew, so he stiffened his neck and asked, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about their conspiracy, why don't you argue with the court?"

Li Chengqian sighed when he heard this: "What can you fight for?" What is the benefit of fighting for the lonely king?

Could it be that if the East Palace doesn't sell grain, there will be no one to sell it?"

Cheng Mingzhen listened to Li Chengqian's tone of gloomy tone, sighed and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't be like a villain for the country and the people?"

You can't sell grain now, then the price of grain in Chang'an City is about to rise, what should the people do with this lack of income?" Cheng Mingzhen said that his tone was haggard when he said it, obviously he was really thinking about eating food for the people.

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Cheng Minbu is so worried about the people, he should open a warehouse to stabilize the price of grain!" ”

Cheng Mingzhen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Isn't there not much grain in the warehouse?"

"Then you can limit the purchase, limit the amount of food that each person can buy per day." Li Chengqian continued to instruct him.

Cheng Mingzhen said with tears and laughter when he heard this: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like this, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling others that there is no food in the imperial court?"

Good! This idea is down-to-earth, Li Chengqian didn't expect Cheng Mingzhen of the Tang Dynasty to react so quickly, no wonder he fought with less to win more.

Li Chengqian was about to continue to talk to him, when a small chamberlain walked in and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, lunch is ready!" ”

Li Chengqian got up with a smile and said, "Cheng Qing's family will go to dinner with King Gu first, and then we will talk about this matter." As he spoke, he walked to the side room.
