Tang Jian has not been out of the house since he arrived in this courtyard and met with other people, and the others still gathered together to discuss countermeasures after leaving the house where Tang Jian was, only he was as stable as a mountain, and he couldn't see what his intentions were.

Li Chengqian looked at the sky outside, his heart became clearer and clearer, three steps changed into two steps, walked outside the house where Tang Jian lived, and knocked on the door. "Lord Tang, what are you doing, is it convenient to go in!"

Although Tang Jian in the house told his subordinates that he wanted to rest, he didn't fall asleep at all, he was staring at the roof and didn't know what he was thinking, when he heard Li Chengqian's knock on the door, he immediately got up from the bed and shouted towards the door: "It's convenient, just let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come in!" ”

Li Chengqian pushed open the door when he heard Tang Jian's words, and after entering Tang Jian's house, he looked left and right, and closed the door again after making sure that no one was nearby.

Tang Jian also put on his shoes, walked to the table, picked up the ink-colored teapot and put it on the burning charcoal, looked at Li Chengqian, who had closed the door, and said, "What is the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince's trip?" ”

Li Chengqian walked to Tang Jian's side and sat down, looked at Tang Jian's frank appearance, and said with a smile: "Does Lord Tang know about the rumors outside the palace about the fraud in the palace?" ”

Tang Jian picked up the teacup and handed it to Li Chengqian, and then took a teacup in front of him, first poured himself a cup of tea slowly, and then poured it full for Li Chengqian, Tang Jian took a sip of hot tea before slowly speaking: "This matter is well known in Chang'an City, and the official naturally knows, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by asking about this matter?" ”

Li Chengqian stared at Tang Jian's eyes, wanting to get some information from his expression, but it was difficult to see any expression on Tang Jian's face, Li Chengqian then asked, "Then what does Lord Shangshu think of this matter?" Or do you believe me? ”

Tang Jian looked at Li Chengqian with some surprise, as if he was surprised that Li Chengqian would ask him this question, and after a little thought, Tang Jian slowly spoke: "Weichen naturally believes in His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never defended himself in the court, why do you want to ask Weichen if he believes you or not at this time?" ”

Li Chengqian saw Tang Jian's surprise, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I want to know if Lord Tang can be trusted!" ”

Tang Jian raised his eyebrows, the teaspoon in his hand that was playing with tea also stopped moving, looked at Li Chengqian's eyes and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why bother to go around the bend, if there is something, you might as well say it directly, the old minister doesn't like to guess riddles and solve boredom!" ”

Li Chengqian also clapped his palms, looked at Tang Jian with great interest, and said: "Since Lord Tang doesn't like to go around the bend, then I'll say it bluntly, these rumors in Chang'an City are all false, and I never thought of using the Spring Festival incident to get off work for myself, so where does Lord Tang think this matter came from?" Or who is trying to frame me? ”

When Tang Jian heard Li Chengqian's question, he said a little angrily: "Didn't the old minister say that he doesn't like to guess riddles to solve boredom? Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still asking me! ”

As soon as Li Chengqian was about to explain, Tang Jian waved his hand and said with a nonchalant face: "That's it, today's conversation between the two of us is out of your ears, and I am out of your ears, I guess I won't talk about it with others again, the old minister might as well accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to relieve his boredom!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, also interested, looked at Tang Jian and said, "Lord Tang, but it doesn't hurt to say it, today's matter will definitely not be talked about with others again!" ”

Tang Jian nodded, and then continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to say that King Wei and King Wu are, the two of them have been spying on your position as the crown prince for a long time, and the competition between you has been on the surface, presumably these things are just King Wei and King Wu trying to frame you!" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head when he heard this, and the teacup that was turning in his hand was also put back on the table by him, and he sighed and said: "If it's really just King Wei and King Wu who want to frame me, it's also said in the past, and it's much easier to deal with it!" ”

Tang Jian was puzzled, and said with a little surprise: "Could it be that there is any inside story in this matter?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Li Chengqian thought about it, and didn't know how much to say to Tang Jian, if he talked too much, he was afraid that he would be the opponent, and if he said less, he was afraid that he would not be able to realize the seriousness of this matter, and suddenly remembered Tang Songling, Li Chengqian slowly said: "Tang Songling, the son of your mansion, is also implicated, and Lord Tang will not know about this matter!" ”

Tang Jian's face stiffened, and he looked at Li Chengqian with some embarrassment: "The old minister has no intention of participating in the party struggle, although the minister who is close to the dog and the king of Wei knows, but he can't stop it, after all, he has been busy helping the king of Wei to revise the "Chronicles of the Ground" recently, which is the task assigned by the saint!" ”

Li Chengqian said in his heart that you were pretending to be confused or really didn't know, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Lord Tang may not know that the prince of your mansion is the first person to spread the word that he wants to cheat in the city, and he has already stood in line for this party dispute!" ”

Tang Jian was a little frightened, he wanted to explain something but didn't know how to speak, so he had to sigh and said: "I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me, I want to come to Xiao'er to obey the instructions of others, if it is the day His Royal Highness ascends the throne in the future, I hope you can leave a way for Xiao'er to live!" ”

Li Chengqian was also very surprised, and asked with a little surprise: "Lord Tang believes that Lone can ascend the throne?" Why is that? The inside and outside seem to have a very high voice for King Wei's succession, why does Lord Tang have so much trust in Lone! ”

Tang Jian's hands didn't know where to put them, trembling slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, the emperor once talked to me and other ministers, and bluntly said that as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not rebel, you will do it in this world!" ”

Li Chengqian was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Father and Emperor still said such things to you?" Why is my father very harsh on me, since I entered the East Palace, these officials have repeatedly served me, even if I want to repair the leaky roof of the East Palace, I have to be arrogant and lascivious! My father never defended me! ”

Li Chengqian's voice became louder and louder, his face became red, and his mood became more and more excited.

Tang Jian didn't care at all, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "It's normal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to know the hard work of the Holy Lord, after all, His Royal Highness has not experienced the affairs of the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might as well think about it, is there less time when the Holy Lord and these officials are red-faced?" Although it is not for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if Your Highness ascends the throne in the future, you will naturally face these things! ”

Li Chengqian recalled the scene when Li Chengqian quarreled with Wei Zheng and others, and also imagined that if he confronted this group of officials after ascending the throne, he understood Li Shimin's intentions, and these were the things that the future monarch would face.

Tang Jian continued: "At that time, the emperor told us that although his throne was taken from his brother, he didn't want his children and grandchildren to think the same way, thinking that as long as he had skills and soldiers and horses, he could sit on the throne, and he hoped that his descendants could work hard to continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty for a longer time, and don't let the Li family fight among themselves and ruin this great river and mountain!" ”

Li Chengqian was also a little helpless when he heard this, looked in the direction of Tang Jian and said: "My father has never told us this, the third brother and the fourth brother listen to him the most, if my father personally goes to persuade them, I think it should not be the current situation!" ”

Tang Jian shook his head, and he also had many questions about Li Shimin's actions, such as the increasingly favored King Wei and the neglected prince, if it weren't for Li Shimin personally saying to Tang Jian that he would pass the throne to Li Chengqian in the future, he would also think in his heart that the prince was going to be abolished, and the King of Wei should be established!

Li Chengqian continued: "This matter will stop here, as long as the prince of your mansion does not participate in the rebellion, I will protect his life!" ”

Tang Jian hurriedly got up and wanted to kneel down to thank him, but was stopped by Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian said bluntly: "Lord Tang has tormented me, this palace came here today not only to talk to Lord Tang about the matter of the East Palace, but also to ask what Lord Tang thinks about tomorrow's Spring Festival!" ”

Tang Jian was no longer polite after being stopped by Li Chengqian, and immediately said after listening to Li Chengqian's words: "Naturally, according to the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, since the Holy Lord has let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do the main examination, there are naturally Holy considerations, so we just obey the orders!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded, pointed in the direction of the outside and said, "There should be thieves in the Ministry of Rites, they want to get to the bottom of the question, Lord Tang knows about it!" ”
