Chapter 47: Li Chengqian, who kills two birds with one stone

When Li Shimin heard that Kong Yingda was coming at this time, he knew what Kong Yingda was doing. Because Wang De has already told Li Shimin.

Li Ke is not the only one who is imprisoned in the Yongzhou Mansion prison. and Kong Yingda's granddaughter Kong Jingrou.

So he said to the eldest grandson Wuji with a cold face: "Now it's not only me who is looking for you to settle accounts, Kong Yingda is also coming to you to ask for your granddaughter." ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he ordered the official of the Yellow Gate to announce Kong Yingda to enter the hall.

Kong Yingda entered the Ganlu Hall and first bowed to Li Shimin three times and bowed nine times to the monarch and ministers. Then he said: "Minister Kong Yingda, please ask the emperor to be the master of the minister." ”

"Kong Aiqing, if I guessed correctly, you should be here for your granddaughter, right?" Li Shimin said helplessly to Kong Yingda.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the second son of the Duke of Qi framed the minister's granddaughter and sent the minister's granddaughter to the prison of Yongzhou Mansion."

"Now it just so happens that the Duke of Qi is also here, and he also asks the emperor to be the master of the ministers." Kong Yingda opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Kong Aiqing, haven't you heard that the one who is locked up with your granddaughter is also my son Li Ke, the king of Qi?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Kong Yingda.

"The minister didn't know that the minister was just a five-grade Dr. Guozi. I am not qualified to go to Yongzhou Mansion to ask for someone, so I came to the emperor. Kong Yingda shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, since Wang De has already been to Yongzhou Mansion, why don't you bring King Qi and Miss Kong back?" The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin, and glared at Wang De fiercely.

Seeing the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wang De's heart was full of hatred. But I can only pretend not to see it, after all, my identity is low.

"Why didn't Wang De bring them back, then I have to ask your son." Li Shimin asked with a cold face.

"Rebel, what the hell have you done. Don't hurry up and tell the truth. The eldest grandson Wuji roared at the eldest grandson beside him.

At this time, the eldest grandson was already frightened, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to tell the story in detail. Even the matter of ordering Sun Bantou to lock Li Ke was not omitted in the slightest.

This can make the eldest grandson Wuji angry. Raising his hand was a slap in the face, and the eldest grandson was directly knocked to the ground.

Then he said sharply: "No wonder His Royal Highness King Qi refuses to return to the palace, it turns out that it is because of this reason." Now you put a chain on me and go to Yongzhou Mansion to bring His Royal Highness King Qi back. ”

At this time, where did the eldest grandson dare to talk back, nodded vigorously, and then turned around and left the Manna Palace. Prepare to go to Yongzhou Mansion to ask Li Ke for his guilt.

Looking at the back of the eldest grandson, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Father, I am afraid that with the guilt of the eldest grandson, the third brother may not be able to be taken out of the prison of Yongzhou Mansion. ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Tai on the side was unwilling. opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "Brother Huang, it is not enough to kill people since ancient times. Now my uncle has punished the eldest grandson. ”

He also ordered him to go to the Yongzhou Mansion Prison to plead guilty, but the third brother still refused to give up. That would be a bit excessive. ”

"If you were the one who was imprisoned in the Yongzhou Mansion Prison today, I'm afraid that the disturbance you made would definitely be even bigger than today."

"Don't forget, the third brother is the prince of the Tang Dynasty like you and me. It represents the dignity of the father. Li Chengqian said to Li Tai.

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he did not give Li Tai any chance to refute. Then he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, although Erchen is the crown prince, Qi Guogong must be Erchen's uncle. ”

"The eldest grandson is also Erchen's cousin, and Erchen is going to go to the Yongzhou Mansion Prison. To be a mediator for his cousin and third brother, I don't know what my father wants. ”

"Since you have this heart, let's go and see it." After Li Shimin nodded, Li Chengqian said.

At the same time, he looked at Li Tai on the side, and then shook his head helplessly. I couldn't help but say in my heart: "It seems that Li Tai is still much more immature than Li Chengqian." ”

Li Chengqian's doing this can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and he helped the eldest grandson to mediate on the surface. So that the eldest grandson Wuji had to be grateful to him.

On the other hand, he showed respect for Li Ke, and even greeted him in person as the crown prince. and achieved the purpose of winning over Li Ke.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Shimin not know the greasy relationship between Li Tai and Li Chengqian. It's just that the two didn't make too much trouble, so Li Shimin turned a blind eye.

……

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I really didn't know that he was Li Ke, the King of Qi. Otherwise, even if I were given ten more dares, I wouldn't dare to do it. While walking, the eldest grandson said to Li Chengqian.

"Cousin, even if the other party is not the King of Qi, you shouldn't do such a thing. Otherwise, one day you will hurt yourself because of it. ”

"Listen to what this palace says, let's spend our time on business. Someday, I will come to Hongu to help. Li Chengqian said to the eldest grandson.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the eldest grandson couldn't help but nodded. After all, today's events hit him too hard. The arrogance of the past has naturally subsided a lot.

Li Chengqian and the eldest grandson came to Yongzhou Mansion after a short time, and Yongzhou Governor Shi heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come down. Hurriedly led the three classes of officials out to greet them.

"There's no need to be so polite, Lord Changshi, please lead the way and take the palace to the prison." Li Chengqian said to Governor Yongzhou.

Yongzhou Governor Shi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took Li Chengqian and Changsun Jian to prison. And the eldest grandson did not forget, took the iron chain from the hand of the servant, and locked himself.

When Li Chengqian came to the cell, he saw Li Ke talking with his eyebrows fluttering. Kong Jingrou on the side listened very attentively.

Seeing that the two of them were not as good as others, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Third brother, you are really an extraordinary person." I am really impressed by the fact that I can still have such a mood in this prison. ”

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Ke and Kong Jingrou found out that someone was coming. What Li Ke didn't expect was that Li Chengqian actually came in person.

Stretched out her hand and pulled Kong Jingrou to kneel on the ground and bow to Li Chengqian. And said, "See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly took two steps forward and helped Li Ke up. Then he said: "Third brother, this palace is here to be a lobbyist for the eldest grandson this time." I don't know if the third brother can give the palace a face. ”

It can be said that Li Ke never thought that Li Chengqian would come to this troubled water. Since Li Chengqian opened his mouth, Li Ke naturally couldn't say anything more.

In addition, I saw the eldest grandson who was kneeling on the ground on the side with chains. Li Ke knew that the matter should be over by now. After all, Li Ke still understands the truth of stopping in moderation.

Li Ke said to Kong Jingrou beside him: "I don't know if Miss Kong thinks that this treatment is satisfactory." ”

Kong Jingrou nodded shyly and didn't say anything. Instead, he used a little force and pulled his hand out of Li Ke's hand.
