Chapter 1246: Swinging the East Palace
In the Liangyi Palace, the ministers all stood there in silence, but Li Shimin above was furious, and the bookcase in front of him had already been overturned by him, and the folds were scattered all over the ground, but at this time, no one dared to persuade him, and even the eldest grandson Wuji tried to shrink back as much as possible at this time, as if he was afraid of being implicated by Li Shimin's anger.
However, among these ministers, there is one person standing among them, I saw that this person is about fifty years old, with a wide body, fat beard, gray hair, and a very rich appearance, wearing a purple official uniform, indicating that this person's grade is not low, in fact, this person's name is Wei Ting, the current Huangmen Shilang, awarded the silver Qingguanglu doctor, and he also has an important position, that is, concurrently serving as the affairs of the Wei Wangfu, in other words, Wei Ting is actually Li Tai's person, and he is also one of the most powerful henchmen, on par with Du Chuke.
Looking at Wei Ting who was standing there, none of the surrounding civil and military officials had a good face for him, because today Li Shimin convened the ministers to discuss the matter, and the main topic was to discuss the matter of entering the Western Regions, but Wei Ting suddenly went to the book and publicly participated in the prince Li Chengqian's book, and also poked out all the things about Li Chengqian's pampering of the servants, speaking of which Wei Ting is really hard enough, although what he said is the truth, but so in front of everyone to expose the prince's private affairs, I am afraid that it will also take a very big risk, Maybe maybe Li Shimin killed him in anger.
I saw Li Shimin's eyes open angrily at this time, and the anger in his eyes was almost gushing out, which made no one in the palace dare to look at him, even Wei Ting stood there with his eyelids slightly closed at this time, although he tried his best to make a calm expression on his face, but the hem of his sleeves trembled slightly, after all, under Li Shimin's coercion, it is estimated that no one can remain calm.
"Swing! East Palace! However, Li Shimin finally did not transfer his anger to others, but squeezed out four words from between his teeth, and then strode out of the Liangyi Palace.
The clusters in the hall looked at each other at this time, because they didn't know whether to keep up or not, such a private matter was usually handled by the palace, but they were stabbed to the court by Wei Ting, this is no longer a matter in the palace, but must go through the court, so it stands to reason that they should also go with them, but Li Shimin did not order, so they don't know what to do?
Fortunately, the minister and the eldest grandson Wuji, after he saw Li Shimin angrily out of the Liangyi Palace, he hesitated for a moment and immediately followed, but the other ministers saw the eldest grandson Wuji follow, so they all followed with a "hula".
At the same time, in the apse of the East Palace, there was a sound of silk and bamboo, Li Chengqian sat on the top, squinting his eyes with a wine glass in his hand, and a beautiful young man next to him gave him food from time to time, this person was satisfied, Li Chengqian also had a fascinated expression at this time, and seemed to enjoy the satisfactory service.
In front of Li Chengqian and Chengxin, it was not a dancer or a musician, but two people dressed as Taoist priests were performing "Taoism", only to see one of the Taoist priests standing empty-handed, with a wave of his hands and suddenly igniting a flame, and the other Taoist priest was also empty-handed, but suddenly turned into a delicate bird-shaped paper kite, and then lit it on the fire, and suddenly turned into a sparrow......
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that what these two Taoist priests performed was not "Taoism" at all, but juggling, that is, magic in later generations, but these two people used the identity of Taoist priests to name juggling "Taoism".
One of these two Taoist priests is called Qin Ying, and the other is called Wei Lingfu, who mingle with the people by virtue of the identity of Taoist priests, in fact, they are two magic sticks, and they use Taoism to make profits for themselves, originally these two Taoist priests could not contact Li Chengqian, who was the crown prince, but Li Yuanchang met these two Taoist priests by coincidence, and felt that their Taoism was very wonderful, so he recommended it to Li Chengqian.
After all, Li Chengqian has studied with Li Xiu since he was a child, so he doesn't believe in the so-called "Taoism" of these two Taoist priests at all, and some of them can even see through the tricks of the two at a glance, but he thinks that the juggling performed by these two people is very interesting, so he stays by his side, and asks them to perform a set of juggling from time to time, which can also relieve boredom.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhao Shiyu and Du Juma came to me yesterday, hoping that I can persuade the prince to focus on business, although the slave maid is soft-spoken, but I also think that what the two of them said is reasonable, His Royal Highness the prince must not waste government affairs because of greed for pleasure!" While Li Chengqian was enjoying the performance of the two Taoist priests, he only heard the satisfaction of serving him next to him suddenly open his mouth and persuade him.
"Well, what you said also makes sense, in fact, I also know that government affairs are important, but I am really reluctant to leave with you!" I saw that Li Chengqian sighed at this time and said, since he got along with Xiangxin, he felt more and more inseparable from the other party, and even the crown princess wanted to see him during this time, but he rejected it, and even wanted to let Xiangxin accompany him at all times.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not have such thoughts, otherwise the government affairs will be delayed because of the slave and maid, and I don't know how many people will suffer because of this, and then will it not be a villain who will fall into the land of slaves and maids who will bring disaster to the country and the people?" I saw that at this time, he suddenly knelt down and begged.
This satisfaction has been grown up in Taichang Temple since he was a child, because of his handsome appearance, so he has been learning dance and music, and he is also very talented in this area, so he was assigned to the East Palace, as for the bad fate between him and Li Chengqian, his mood is actually very complicated.
Li Chengqian was drunk that night, and as a result, he hugged him and didn't let go, and finally even let him sleep, as a small servant, he had no room for resistance at all, and then things developed to the current situation, which he could not predict, but he knew that if Li Chengqian was addicted to himself, he was afraid that sooner or later he would bring death to himself, so he persuaded Li Chengqian to focus on government affairs.
As soon as the words of satisfaction came out, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be stunned, he himself is also an extremely smart person, he didn't expect this before, but now when he heard the reminder of satisfaction, he immediately knew that he understood, and now his actions seem to be pleasing to him, but in fact, he is harming him, at least he can't delay government affairs because of him.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian also immediately sat up straight and said: "What you said is right, I was negligent before, from tomorrow, I will return to my original routine, but I can't be by your side all the time!" ”
"Your Highness can focus on government affairs, which is the blessing of slaves and maids!" Xiangxin thanked Li Chengqian again at the moment.
"Boom~" As soon as the words of Chengxin fell, he suddenly saw the door of the palace being rudely pushed open, which made Xiangxin and the others tremble all over, Li Chengqian was also startled, and then he was angry, after all, this is his dormitory, who dares to be good at breaking in?
But before Li Chengqian could get angry, he saw two teams of guards rushing in from outside the hall, which made him stunned, because he recognized that these guards were all people from his father's side, and before he could react, he saw Li Shimin striding in with a gloomy face, which made Li Chengqian also frightened, and even forgot to come forward to salute.
I saw Li Shimin striding over, first glanced at the situation in the hall, and the look on his face became more gloomy, after all, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, did not focus on government affairs, but indulged in pleasure, which made him a father disappointed and angry.
"Erchen...... Sons and daughters meet their father! Until this time, Li Chengqian finally reacted, and stepped forward to salute Li Shimin quickly, but his face was also very worried at this time, especially when he thought that his heart was still in the palace, which made his heart hang.
"Who are they?" I saw that Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Li Chengqian, but pointed to the two Taoist priests in the hall who had stopped performing and asked, although Taoism is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, but the palace is a forbidden place, and ordinary monks cannot enter the palace without being summoned, and the East Palace is no exception.
"Enlightenment...... Father, these two Taoist leaders were invited by their sons to demonstrate Taoist techniques. Li Chengqian was relieved to see that Li Shimin only asked about the origin of the two Taoist priests, but he still replied with a little nervousness on his face.
"Taoism?" Li Shimin couldn't help but sneer when he heard Li Chengqian's answer, he had been fighting all his life, and he had never believed much in this god, god and ghostly thing, otherwise he would not have restricted the development of Buddhism and Taoism before.
I saw Li Shimin striding in front of the two Taoist priests at this time, and then sneered again and said: "Aren't you two Taoist arts, then demonstrate it in front of me, if it is really Taoism, I have a reward, if it is fake, it is the crime of bullying the king!" ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the faces of the two Taoist priests, Qin Ying and Wei Lingfu, also changed greatly, especially that Wei Lingfu knelt down and begged with a "poof": "Your Majesty is angry, the villain doesn't know Taoism, he only knows how to juggle a few hands and eat with a few hands!" ”
The anger of the Son of Heaven is thousands of miles away, and now Li Shimin is so angry that he almost broke out, Wei Lingfu, a charlatan, couldn't resist the coercion emanating from Li Shimin's body at all, so he directly began to beg for mercy, hoping to get Li Shimin's forgiveness, and that Qin Ying originally wanted to hold on, but when he saw his companion begging for mercy, he immediately knelt down and begged together.
However, Li Shimin snorted coldly again at this time: "Jianghu warlocks even dare to disturb the court? Come on, pull them out and behead them! ”
With Li Shimin's order, a guard immediately agreed, and then pulled the two Taoist priests out and beheaded them, as a result, the two frightened bodies were paralyzed, and they couldn't even make a sound of begging for mercy, which also frightened Li Chengqian, but he didn't dare to help them intercede, but he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Shimin came in anger today, and naturally it was impossible to calm his anger just by killing two Taoist priests, so I saw that he suddenly turned around at this time, and a pair of eagle eyes also stared at Li Chengqian's body behind him.
