Li Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

He didn't expect that Li Jiancheng, who was the crown prince, would actually speak for the family, didn't he know that the family had always been an obstacle to the existence of imperial power?

If the crown prince can't even see this, then he is too stupid to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Yuan quickly understood that it was not that the prince did not understand this, but that he now wanted to win over the Cui family.

After understanding this, Li Yuan instead glanced at Li Shimin, and then at Qin Tian, thinking that Qin Tian was about to form a friendship with the Lu family for Qin and Jin, but he was afraid that the Lu family would soon become a force in Li Shimin's camp, right?

If this is the case, the prince really needs the Cui family.

At this time, Li Yuan had no intention of abolishing the prince, since he didn't, he should still be supported, but after experiencing insomnia last time, he didn't want the prince to become big alone.

Imperial art, what is important is a balance, only balance, this dynasty is stable, and his throne is unshakable.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan glared at Cui Tong and shouted: "For the sake of the prince's intercession, I will spare you this time, and Luoyang does not have to go, but I will punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors, and within half a year, unless there is an edict, you are not allowed to enter and leave the mansion at will." ”

Although Li Yuan acquiesced to the prince's wooing of the Cui family, he was still not prepared to make Cui Tong too happy, after all, if the punishment was light, the Lu family was afraid that it would not be good.

After saying this, Cui Tong thanked him again and again, although Lu Xing was not very satisfied with this result, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only give up.

After this was done, everyone left one after another.

When Li Jiancheng left, he didn't say anything to Cui Tong, he didn't even look at him, and left the palace directly and returned to the East Palace.

However, after returning to the East Palace, the crown prince Li Jiancheng hurriedly asked Song Gongqing.

"Now this favor has been given out by the prince, but I'm afraid it's not okay like this, I have to let him personally confess his allegiance to the prince, do you want to see him?"

When he was in the palace today, in order to avoid suspicion, he pretended to be selfless about Cui Tong's matter, but now that he is back, he feels that he still has to fight for it.

Song Gongqing thought for a while, and said with a light smile: "Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need to take the initiative, if he is too active, it will make Cui Tong feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs the help of their family, so you might as well wait for him to come to this matter." ”

"Wait for him?"

Song Gongqing bowed: "That's right, wait for him to come." ”

While the two were talking, an attendant hurriedly ran over: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Cui Tong of the Cui family asks to see you." ”

Hearing that Cui Tong was coming, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was overjoyed, Song Gongqing touched his chin, looked at Li Jiancheng and smiled slightly, and then retreated.

Not long after, Cui Tong was led into the living room by the chamberlain, Cui Tong was still haggard at this time, and his whole face looked very pale, after he came in, he immediately made a big gift to Li Jiancheng.

Today, Li Jiancheng interceded for him, which made him very grateful, but after many years of fighting in the DPRK and China, he naturally knew that Li Jiancheng could not save himself for no reason, so Li Jiancheng must have a plan.

Moreover, the figure is the power of their Cui family.

Originally, he didn't have to be involved in the dispute between the princes, but now that Qin Tian is attached to Li Shimin, if he wants to deal with Qin Tian, it is equivalent to dealing with Li Shimin, and with the power of his family, I am afraid that Li Shimin will not be shaken.

Therefore, he could only follow Li Jiancheng's wishes, Li Jiancheng wanted to use their Cui family, so why couldn't he use Li Jiancheng?

"Thank you for your Royal Highness the Prince's intercession today, otherwise I am afraid that the next official will have to go to Luoyang."

Li Jiancheng didn't care, and said: "This prince is just doing things fairly, although your son is wrong, but the crime is not as good as yours." ”

"But I still have to thank His Royal Highness the Prince, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saved the lower official, and from now on, the lower official will definitely saddle the horse for His Royal Highness the Prince."

Cui Tong didn't want to waste time, since Li Jiancheng wanted to work for him himself, it would be good for him to say it directly, so that he would seem to know the current affairs, and it would be easier for Li Jiancheng to please.

If you are with Li Jiancheng at this time, and finally force Li Jiancheng to bring it up by himself, then the scene will not look good.

Li Jiancheng saw that Cui Tong was very familiar with current affairs, and he was also happy in his heart, and said: "Master Cui has said it, you are saddle before and after the Tang Dynasty." ”

Cui Tong's expression moved slightly, and he hurriedly responded: "The prince, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, is the Tang Dynasty, and the minister is saddle before and after the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Jiancheng became more and more pleased, so he no longer detoured with Cui Tong, and said directly: "Okay, Lord Cui is really my loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, unlike that Qin Tian, who looks like a traitor, and when the prince ascends the throne, he must be good-looking." ”

Since he has subdued Cui Tong, he must give him a little hope, Li Jiancheng knows that now Cui Tong is only afraid of hating Qin Tian to death, so he promises Cui Tong to deal with Qin Tian, in this way, are you still afraid that Cui Tong will not give up on serving himself?

After Li Jiancheng finished saying this, Cui Tong's heart moved, and he suddenly burst into tears of gratitude: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said yes......"

After the two talked in the East Palace, Cui Tong left the East Palace.

At the same time, Qin Tian had already left Chang'an City and rushed to Qinjia Village.

The autumn breeze in the evening was a little cool, and there was a tingling sensation on the face.

When Qin Tian was rushing in the direction of Qinjia Village, he suddenly saw a team coming in the dust, and when he got closer, Qin Tiancai found that it was his sister Qin Feiyan who was running towards this side with Tang Rong and Hu Shiba.

Qin Feiyan and Tang Rong were both wearing men's clothes at this time, and they looked very chic, Qin Feiyan was holding a knife in his hand, a little vicious.

When Qin Tian saw them, he was a little strange, and hurriedly greeted them: "Sister, what are you ......doing?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Feiyan suddenly slapped him.

This slap was sudden, even though Qin Tian's reaction at this time was already very fast, but he was still slapped in the face by Qin Feiyan, the slap sounded, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

"Sister ......"

"Who told you to go on an adventure? Is that the time for you to do it? ”

Qin Feiyan was still angry, their Qin family was such a man, but she never thought that her younger brother would take risks for a woman like Lu Huaniang.

This is something she will never allow.

Although she felt honored to be able to marry Lu Huaniang, it was absolutely impossible for her own brother to take risks.

Qin Feiyan's words were fierce, as if he might slap him again at any time, Qin Tian's face was aggrieved, Tang Rong's side, although it was not a taste in his heart, he could only harden his heart at this time: "Sister, Xianggong has come back safely, don't be angry anymore, let's go back first." ”

Qin Tian hurriedly cast a grateful glance at Tang Rong, while Qin Feiyan glared at him: "After you go back, see how I clean you up." ”
