Li Chengqian's original excitement was now completely gone, and he stood in front of Zhang Zheng with his head down, like a child who had done something wrong and was reprimanded by an adult.

There was some embarrassment on his face, and there was a hint of grievance.

"Brother Sheng, I was wrong."

was stared at by Zhang Zheng's serious eyes, Li Chengqian didn't dare to look at Zhang Zheng's eyes, and held back such a sentence for a long time.

Seeing Li Chengqian bow his head and admit his mistake, Zhang Zheng sighed.

If Li Chengqian was just a thirteen-year-old boy from an ordinary family, Zhang Zheng would not be so angry.

But Li Chengqian is the crown prince, since this kind of thing has happened, Zhang Zheng, as a courtier, must say what he should say.

It's not that Zhang Zheng is making a fuss, but that's how the rules of survival in this era are.

In some innocuous things, Zhang Zheng can play happily with Li Chengqian.

However, when it comes to some issues of principle, the difference in the status of 'monarchs' between Li Chengqian and Zhang Zheng is revealed.

Just like today's incident, if Zhang Zheng does not correct Li Chengqian's mistakes, point out his mistakes.

Then Zhang Zheng, a courtier, deserves to be unqualified, of course, Zhang Zheng must also have the intention of taking the opportunity to educate Li Chengqian.

But after all, he has been a playmate for many years, and Zhang Zheng didn't want to force Li Chengqian too much, seeing that Li Chengqian had already admitted his mistake.

Zhang Zheng could only break the truth and crumple it to Li Chengqian, and said to Li Chengqian in a slow tone.

"Cheng Qian, although we are not going to fight, but on the way to the army, I don't need to teach you the truth of ordering and prohibiting.

If you don't practice the rules you set yourself, then who will obey you in the future?

You are the crown prince, and I shouldn't have taught you these things. ”

"Yes, Brother Zheng'er, I know it's wrong."

After listening to Zhang Zheng's words, Li Chengqian's face was a little ashamed.

But he could distinguish between good and bad, knowing that Zhang Zheng was not deliberately targeting him, but reminding him that there were some mistakes that he could not make, and while he was grateful, he also sincerely saluted Zhang Zheng.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had already understood his intentions, Zhang Zheng turned sideways and continued to speak.

"I'm also at fault in this matter, I put myself in the position of your deputy, but I didn't play a role in filling in the gaps for you, this is my dereliction of duty.

From today onwards, I will fulfill the duties of a deputy, and I will get up whenever the soldiers get up, and if I can't get up, you will be responsible for dragging me up. ”

"Good!"

Li Chengqian nodded, and agreed to Zhang Zheng's proposal.

Seeing that the two reached a consensus, Chang Yan, who was frozen on the side, couldn't help but feel relieved.

But things are not so simple, just when Chang Yan was about to speak, he suddenly found that Zhang Zheng's unkind eyes were staring at him.

"As the saying goes, just now you said that you ordered the army to be drawn later?"

Zhang Zheng left Li Chengqian, came to Chang Yan and asked in a flat tone.

Zhang Zheng's eyes were flat, and his words were flat, but Chang Yan's heart was abrupt.

Obviously, Zhang Zheng was just a powerless kid in front of him, but Chang Yan felt that he was facing a fierce beast.

Hearing Zhang Zheng ask, he subconsciously replied: "Yes, it was the order of the old slave, and the old slave saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was having fun, so he took charge of himself......"

Zhang Zheng didn't have the heart to worry about these things with Chang Yan, and directly interrupted him: "Who did you give the order to?" ”

Chang Yan replied honestly: "General Duan Heng." ”

Zhang Zheng nodded: "Okay, you go and call Duan Heng." ”

"Yes."

Chang Yan didn't dare to delay, and trotted to call Duan Heng.

After a while, Duan Heng, who was wearing armor all over his body, came to Zhang Zheng.

"The last general met His Royal Highness the Prince, I saw Zhang Xiannan, Zhang Xiannan, you are looking for me?"

As soon as Duan Heng arrived, he saluted the two of them.

Zhang Zheng waved his hand to signal Duan Heng not to be polite, and then asked Duan Heng: "General Duan, I remember that your official position is the prince's personal guard Zhonglang general." ”

Duan Heng got up and was a little confused when he heard Zhang Zheng's question, but he still replied according to his words: "Back to Zhang County, yes, this is indeed the position of the last general." ”

Hearing Duan Heng's confirmation, Zhang Zheng nodded and continued to ask: "In that case, why did Chang Yan order to delay the team's journey, and you didn't come to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, but followed the orders of a eunuch?" ”

"This ......"

Duan Heng was stunned when he heard this, and then his heart moved. looked at Li Chengqian's aggrieved little face, and immediately understood the reason why Zhang Zheng called him over.

looked at Chang Yan's face with a look of anger, and then quickly clenched his fists and replied to Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian: "The last general will know his mistake." ”

"Since you know your mistake, go to the military judge and get twenty military sticks."

Duan Heng was also dry, and arched his hand and said, "Yes, the last general will admit punishment." ”

After finishing speaking, he glared at Chang Yan fiercely, and then turned around to find the military judge to receive the punishment.

Duan Heng must be dealt with, as the chief general of the first army, he can't even distinguish between the main and the secondary, and he has not been wronged by this military stick.

If it had been replaced by a great general or Li Shimin personally leading the army, Duan Heng's head would have been cut off and circulated to the three armies.

educated Li Chengqian and disposed of Duan Heng, and then it was Chang Yan's turn.

After all, Chang Yan once saved Zhang Zheng's life, so although Zhang Zheng looked at Chang Yan indifferently, he was still a little unbearable in his heart.

This time, Zhang Zheng lowered his face and asked Li Shimin to come over Chang Yan, but he still wanted to repay his kindness and give Chang Yan a stable old age.

But as the saying goes, the body is crippled, and even the psychology is also mutilated, even when he goes out of the palace gate, the eunuch's temperament of studying every day still can't be changed.

It's just that he can't bear it in his heart, and in front of Li Chengqian, Zhang Zheng can't open the net.

This lesson is not only for Li Chengqian, Zhang Zheng also has the intention of waking himself up, and he can only blame Chang Yan for hitting the head of the gun.

Zhang Zheng opened his mouth and called softly: "Chang Yan." ”

"The old slave is here."

Hearing Zhang Zheng call himself, Chang Yan replied stiffly. guessed in his heart what Zhang Xiannan would do with himself.

"When the emperor established the country, he repeatedly ordered the eunuchs not to interfere in politics, you are a slave of the heavenly family, and I am not good at dealing with you.

But you knowingly committed a crime, and now the Emperor Taishang is still sitting in the Daming Palace, this is a great disrespect to the Emperor, and whipping you twenty lashes is not a grievance against you. ”

Zhang Zheng finally didn't let Chang Yan suffer from the military stick, firstly, because he couldn't bear it, and secondly, as Zhang Zheng said, Chang Yan is a slave of the heavenly family, and Li Er's face still has to be taken into account.

Hearing that Zhang Zheng only allowed himself to receive twenty whips in the end, Chang Yan felt like a big stone had been put down in his heart for some reason, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He replied convincingly: "Yes, the old slave admits punishment." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, the common saying is a slave of the heavenly family, and the military judge is not easy to do, so the twenty whips of the common saying are still up to you."

Seeing that the common saying accepted punishment, Zhang Zheng once again aimed the spearhead at Li Chengqian.
