Chapter 365: The Charming Listener
There is a saying that three people become tigers, and when rumors spread throughout Chang'an, the statement that the prince lost his morality became more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the Wei Palace, Li Tai was a little proud.
"I can't imagine that the prince's brother is so reckless, it's really ......" As he spoke, the corners of Li Tai's mouth were filled with an irrepressible smile and pride.
Liu Xuan agreed: "No, the story of the prince beating Kong Yingda has spread all over the world, and the prince's move is completely self-defeating!" ”
"Not necessarily, it's just that Kong Yingda left the East Palace with a broken head and bleeding, and the rumors will be very loud, but Kong Yingda himself, Zhang Xuansu and others did not speak, and neither did his father." Li Tai was quite calm about this and was not blindly optimistic.
"Also, if it weren't for the sudden trouble, presumably Your Majesty's side would probably be quiet!" After finishing speaking, Liu Xuan hurriedly shut up and said: "My subordinates take the liberty of speculating about the monarch's father, and Your Highness forgives your sins." ”
"That's it, what you said is also the truth, if the matter is not too big, my father will definitely appease Kong Yingda, and at most a few words of admonishment to the East Palace will be over." Li Tai knows very well that as long as the crown prince does not completely lose his morality and loses the sacred heart of his father, whenever there is such a thing, he will most likely help mediate and help the prince cover it up.
After all, the crown prince is his son, and he was established by His Majesty Li Er, if the prince behaves appropriately and he criticizes him, his father will inevitably have a dull face, which will damage the sainthood.
Liu Xuan said: "But now that the matter has become a big problem, I heard that the government and the opposition and the people have complained about the prince's behavior, and even criticized it. At this time, if someone comes out to impeach the prince......"
Obviously, this is all an uneasy and well-intentioned move, and he first came forward to impeach, clearly to accuse the East Palace of immorality, to hit the reputation of the crown prince, and even directly shake his position.
"No." Li Tai completely understood what Liu Xuan meant, if he arranged it himself. Naturally, someone will write a book of impeachment. But in this situation, is it really good to do so?
Li Taidao: "My father's intention is not clear, it will be dangerous to rush like this, maybe my father doesn't think that the matter is serious, or wants to maintain the East Palace." After all, this matter is not very big, far from reaching the point where it can make my father have the heart of Yi Chu, and rashly playing will make my father unhappy.
When the time comes, it will become more and more maintained, and even Kong Yingda, Zhang Xuansu and others may have to come forward to excuse the East Palace. At that time, if you can't eat mutton and you will be in a commotion, why bother? ”
Liu Xuan nodded in agreement. Last time, Du Chuke wanted to use the matter of Qizhou to attack Li Ke, the king of Wu, which was such a result, and it almost backfired. Fortunately, it was timely to stop in the end, and there were no problems.
However, it had been agreed at that time that the main target of the Wei Palace's Mansion was the East Palace, and now a great opportunity was in front of him, and it would be a pity to miss it.
"Your Highness, there has never been such a major mistake in the East Palace, if we don't do anything. That's ......," Liu Xuan hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
Li Tai nodded and said, "That's natural, but we can't dwell on this matter anymore." Let's not talk about whether there is a misunderstanding, even if the prince really beats Kong Yingda, what can he do? Will the father depose the crown prince because of this? Where is the dignity of the monarch and the minister?
As expected, the father must have already thought about disposing of it in his heart. It would not be wise to intervene at this time. If you have to do something, you have to find a different way. ”
Li Tai pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is like this, but if another scandal of the crown prince breaks out at this time." What would my father think? What will the world think? At that time, even if the father wants to protect him, it will become more difficult. The prestige and image of the East Palace have plummeted, but at least it will be greatly reduced. ”
"Your Highness is right!" Liu Xuan thought deeply about this, and immediately agreed, and then asked, "Then what is Your Highness going to do?" ”
Li Tai sneered: "You forgot? We still have a dark chess hand in the East Palace! ”
"Yes, my subordinates almost forgot, Your Highness is clever." Liu Xuan nodded, and a slightly wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
……
In the East Palace, Li Chengqian's situation and mood are very bad.
In the past few years, he has been under a lot of pressure, and the status of the crown prince has brought him a lofty status, but he also has endless troubles. Or that status did not bring him the same happiness and enjoyment, but brought too much trouble and depression.
Especially in the past year, Li Taiming, the king of Wei, secretly made him stumble, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, rose to a certain extent, which caused him a lot of pressure. The rebellion of Li You, the king of Qi, frightened him again, after all, there are many connections between the Qi Palace's Mansion and the East Palace, and it is easy to be caught and talked.
So much so that Li Chengqian was under a lot of pressure for a long time, and he needed to have a way to relax. When he stumbles upon Hu Opera, he finds it an easy way to relax, live in a tent, put on the costume of a grassland chief, and forget about the status of the prince and the stress it brings.
Tents and costumes can also make people feel like they are in the grassland, the sky is high and the fields are wide, and looking at the starry sky at night, there is a vague feeling of depressing the feeling of abolishing the high palace walls on all sides.
Li Chengqian fell in love with this feeling, so he often behaved like this in the East Palace, which was a kind of relaxation. But all this fell in the eyes of Kong Yingda and Zhang Xuansu, and the nature completely changed.
They don't pay attention to the reasons for His Royal Highness the Prince's behavior, they ignore Li Chengqian's emotional needs as a person, and just treat him as the prince, and then demand him with the criteria that a prince should have.
How can the prince wear a beard, isn't he willing to fall? Such a frolic is simply unorthodox and absurd. It really violates the identity of the prince of a country, and it is really a bit out of place.
Kong Yingda and Zhang Xuansu felt that if they didn't advise, it would be a dereliction of duty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have big problems in the long run. Isn't the fall of Li You, the king of Qi, to the point where he is today, related to Quan Wan Jide's dereliction of duty?
After the two Taifu were firm in such an attitude, they had the fierce rhetoric of that day, and no one expected that it would end up like this. I don't know if Kong Yingda and Zhang Xuansu have remorse?
"Those two old stubborns, how can they regret it? They should be very happy to force Lone to the point where they are now, right? Kong Yingda, the old horseman, just pushed him by mistake, where was there a beating of him, but now there are such rumors in the city, his heart can be punished! Li Chengqian was holding the wine lord in his hand, he was already drunk, and he cursed in his mouth, obviously he was very angry and angry about this matter.
But these words can only be complained in private, and they can't be said to their father, they can't say it to outsiders, they won't listen to it at all, and they won't understand it.
But fortunately, at least there is one listener at any given time. Li Chengqian looked down at the charming and charming person in his arms, and suddenly felt satisfied...... (To be continued.) )
