At the court meeting, Emperor Li Yuan mentioned the matter of Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, staying in Yanxi Palace at night. The crown prince was built, and the crown prince Wang Qi, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng and others unanimously demanded that the bold Li Xuan be severely punished, and the law of the Tang Dynasty should be upright. Although Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and Gao Shilian, the secretary of the ministry, intended to defend Li Xuan, Li Xuan did stay in the bedroom of the ninth princess of Yanxi Palace at night, violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Many neutral ministers also unanimously supported the crown prince and demanded that Li Xuan be severely punished.

Li Yuan saw that the time was ripe, so he secretly decided to remove Li Xuanyongan from the title of king and put him in prison as punishment.

Before he could speak, suddenly a eunuch hurriedly ran into the Qianyuan Hall and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is now kneeling outside the Qianyuan Hall in plain clothes and barefoot, asking to see Your Majesty." ”

"Plain clothes and barefoot? This is a pleading. Why did the Ninth Princess do this? ”

"Could it be that Li Xuan stayed in Yanxi Palace overnight, what else is there to hide?"

"That's probably the case, otherwise why would the ninth princess ask to see Your Majesty barefoot in plain clothes during the court meeting?"

The ministers were talking.

A trace of gloom appeared on the face of the crown prince, and he couldn't understand what Li Qing was doing in Qianyuan Hall at this time? Could it be that she wants to overturn the case for Li Xuan by herself? It's impossible to think about. It's just a little hairy girl, will she be so capable?

Emperor Li Yuan also thought that Li Qing could not overturn the case for Li Xuan, so he said: "Xuan." ”

Wang De, the chief eunuch, shouted in his sharp male duck voice: "Your Majesty has an order, Xuanjiu Princess Li Qing will meet you." ”

Li Qing was dressed in white, just like a budding white lotus, with elegant demeanor, black hair like lacquer, skin like jade, like a fairy descending to earth, and slowly walked to the top of the main hall.

After saluting Li Yuan, he said in an unusually beautiful voice: "The son of the emperor sees his father." ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Qing and asked, "Qing'er, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Qing replied: "The son is dressed and barefoot, this is to ask his father for the guilt." ”

"Please? What are you guilty of? Li Yuan asked.

Li Qing replied: "Yesterday, the retainer visited the palace at night, and in the imperial garden, he saw the drunk King Yong'an lying on the cold ground, unconscious. At that time, the palace had been locked, and outsiders could not get out at all. So, Erchen took matters into his own hands and ordered the palace people of Yanxi Palace who followed him to carry the drunken King Yongan into Yanxi Palace, while Erchen went to the palace of Princess Pingyang outside the palace to spend the night. This morning, Erchen returned, only to learn that King Yong'an had been taken to prison by his father because he stayed in Erchen's Yanxi Palace overnight. ”

"It turned out that the Ninth Princess placed the drunk King Yong'an in her Yanxi Palace, not King Yong'an's trespass."

"According to what the Ninth Princess said, King Yong'an was wronged."

"Of course he was wronged, he was drunk, he was so drunk that he was lying on the ground, unconscious, how could he trespass into Yanxi Palace?"

"I have always felt that King Yong'an is a humble son, who is polite and loyal, how could he do such a beastly behavior as trespassing into Yanxi Palace and staying in the bedroom of the ninth princess at night?"

"I think so, too."

The ministers were talking. The crown prince Jiancheng secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Li Qing, in order to save Li Xuan, you lie." In a moment, I will expose your lies in front of all the ministers, and make you completely infamous. ”

Li Yuan didn't expect Li Qing to be so protective of Li Xuan, and even didn't hesitate to make up such a confusing lie. So, he sternly questioned Li Qing: "Qing'er, do you dare to guarantee that what you said is the truth?" ”

Li Qing straightened up and replied: "Report to my father, my son dares to guarantee that everything he said is true." ”

After hearing this, the prince immediately became overjoyed, and said secretly in his heart: "Li Qing, just wait for your words." Dare to lie in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and see if you don't pass through you. What's going on, I don't know? ”

Li Qing suddenly looked at the crown prince Jiancheng, and continued to answer in a categorical voice: "Father, the palace people of Yanxi Palace, the son-in-law, can testify for the son-in-law, and it was he who followed my order to carry King Yong'an into my palace at that time. If my father doesn't believe me, you can ask the palace people in my palace now. ”

After listening to Li Qing's words, the joy on the crown prince's original face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a face full of consternation. He secretly said in his heart: "Damn Feng Li, how can I still let the palace man in Li Qing's palace who was bought by me still alive?" Still in Yanxi Palace? Didn't you take the initiative to hand over the handle to Li Qing? If that palace person was recruited into the Qianyuan Hall by his father to ask, he would definitely make 1510 moves, and then the prince would be finished. You must not let that palace person appear in the Qianyuan Palace, absolutely not. ”

Emperor Li Yuan secretly said in his heart: "Qing'er, the road is your own, you want me to summon the palace people in your palace, your lies are going to be exposed, don't blame me, I will never allow Li Xuan to be with the people of the world and destroy my plan." So, after pondering for a moment, he said, "Xuan." ”

Wang De, the chief eunuch, shouted loudly in his sharp duck voice: "Xuanyanxi Palace........."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the prince come out of the ranks, and said to Emperor Li Yuan: "Erchen is willing to guarantee that what the ninth sister said is true." I hope that my father can take care of the relationship between father and daughter, and believe in the ninth sister. ”

Li Yuan looked at the sworn prince in surprise. Based on his years of political experience, he decided: "The protagonist of the prince smashed the play, and the palace man of Yanxi Palace may be the prince's person, but now it should be in Li Qing's hands." ”

Li Yuan looked helpless, sighed and said, "Since the prince cares so much about the friendship between brother and sister, I won't ask about that Yanxi Palace person. As for Li Xuan, he was temporarily imprisoned in the prison. After Rong Zhen thought about it, he let him out. ”

After speaking, Li Yuan looked at Wang De, the chief eunuch. Wang De shouted: "Retreat." ”

The gloomy crown prince and the happy Qin king Li Shimin led the civil and military officials to salute Li Yuan and send Li Yuan away.

The civil and military officials were all surprised, they couldn't understand why the prince would vouch for the ninth princess who was good friends with King Qin? If you want to guarantee that it is also His Royal Highness the King of Qin, how can you be the crown prince? Could it be that there is something hidden in this? ”

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect his ninth sister to be so powerful, and he actually defeated the prince in one face.

The crown prince Jiancheng stared at Li Qing viciously, and said secretly in his heart: "Li Qing, let's see, today's hatred, I will definitely double it another day." ”
