The underworld.

It was the first time for Li Chengqian to go down to the Yin Division, but he was not stage frightened.

In the face of the top ten Yamas and the three major judges, Li Chengqian's face was as usual, neither humble nor arrogant.

He was not too arrogant because of his cultivation and identity, but just put forward his appeal to Yama and the three major judges, "If those people who died have exhausted their yang life in the book of life and death, then the poor path will naturally not hinder the normal cycle of life and death in the Three Realms, but if their yang life is not over, they will only die sideways. Then Poor Dao hopes that Yan Jun can give them a chance to return to the yang. ”

King Qin Guang nodded slightly when he heard this, and then motioned to Cui Juan on the side to inquire about the book of life and death.

Cui Juan took out the sub-book of the book of birth and death, flipped through it a few times and found the page of the people in their village, and after carefully browsing it up and down, he said to King Qin Guang at the top: "Today, there is no one who should be exhausted in Yangshou, and they are all unprovoked deaths." ”

"Good."

King Qin Guang looked at Li Chengqian and said with a smile: "Since the yang life is not over, then allow them to return the yang." ”

"Thank you, Hades." Li Chengqian didn't expect Hades to be so easy to talk to, but since the other party agreed to his request, Li Chengqian of course had to thank the other party.

"It's just a small thing, so why worry about it." King Qin Guang waved his hand slightly, but said to Li Chengqian, "The souls of the people can send them back to the yang, but the souls of those inner servants"

"They wantonly slaughter living beings in the mortal world, how is the law?"

"Eighteen Hells, of course."

"Immeasurable Dao Venerable." Li Chengqian recited a trumpet, saying that he would not stop Yin Si from collecting the souls of those heavenly court attendants, and the reason why he kept these souls of the inner servants and did not directly scatter the souls of the other party was to keep them to negotiate terms with the kings of Hades.

But he didn't expect that the Hades would agree to him very happily, and the Hades would not let go of these inner servants for personal gain, so these inner servants who were originally used as bargaining chips would be useless.

Li Chengqian did not stay in the underworld for a long time, and after the matter was done, he already wanted to leave.

Several Yan Luo really wanted to leave Li Chengqian to entertain, after all, Li Chengqian's identity is special, first of all, he is the son of Li Shimin, and secondly, he is the successor of the human sect, these two identities are worthy of winning over and befriending Yin Si.

Li Shimin is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei again, and Emperor Ziwei's other incarnation is still holding the position of Emperor Xudu in the underworld at this moment, and Emperor Xudu once vaguely said that several disciples of Li Shimin, he still values Li Chengqian the most, but unfortunately his leg is lame.

This is a defect in the innate soul, even if these immortals want to cure Li Chengqian's leg, it is not so easy and even to say, if Li Chengqian's leg is cured, it will ruin his life.

Therefore, even if there is a way to cure it, they will not act lightly. Of course, if Li Chengqian found a way to cure his legs, then it was another matter, this was his own fate, and he would not break his life character because of this, and even strengthened his life character accordingly.

But this restriction can only be broken by himself, and others can only point out at most.

Otherwise, with Lao Jun's way of creation, would he really not be able to cure one of Li Chengqian's legs?

Looking at the Three Realms, no one is willing to believe this.

Several Yamas and Li Chengqian obviously don't have any friendship, but there is indeed one among the Yin Si who can make Li Chengqian obediently salute, that is, Wei Zheng, who took Yin Si after his death and served as one of the great judges.

"Cheng Qian has seen Zheng Guogong."

Li Chengqian saw that it was Wei Zheng who stopped him, and immediately saluted the other party.

Wei Zheng also returned the salute and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Chengqian heard this title for a long time, he thought that he had already let go of the past, but there were still some fluctuations in his heart, he made up his mind, and solemnly saluted Wei Zheng, and said: "The student disappointed the teacher." ”

Wei Zheng was Li Chengqian's teacher for a period of time, and Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince was abolished, also after Wei Zheng's death, so when he heard Wei Zheng's voice, His Royal Highness the Prince, suddenly felt inexplicably aggrieved in his heart.

Obviously, he didn't make any mistakes, but because of Li Tai's repeated provocations, he counterattacked, and he was a little more ruthless. Let his father think that after succeeding to the throne, he will kill other brothers to stabilize the throne.

In the first half of Li Chengqian's life, he actually lived in the shadow of his father Li Shimin, but whether it was during the period of being the prince of Qin or the prince. He has always been conscientious, even if he can't do it, but he has never relaxed his requirements for himself and strives to do his best.

Even if his father favored Qingque even more, Li Chengqian never thought of attacking his own brother.

But all this. Ever since his leg disease appeared, everything has changed.

He could see the disappointment and hesitation in his father's eyes when he looked at his inconvenient legs.

Maybe it's because the father is too obvious, or maybe it's the emperor's trick of the father, deliberately allowing himself and Qingque to notice this change. Finally, Qingque began to be impatient, from the initial temptation, to the provocation again and again, so that the two officially "went to war", and the quarrel was almost inseparable-

His father made a move, and he said that he and Qingque were not suitable to be emperors.

In the past, Li Chengqian may not have understood much, but now he understands his father's methods.

After all, he is the crown prince, and he was abolished by virtue of his lame leg, and it is difficult to convince the public in the court.

And it just so happened that Qingque came out, and he happened to be used as a knife by his father, and he cut off his position as the crown prince with a knife, perhaps his father was also worried that he would do something uncontrollable just by abolishing himself, so he even became a victim with Qingque.

Maybe my father thinks that having a green finch with him will make his heart feel a little better.

In fact. At the very beginning, Li Chengqian's inner pain was indeed offset a lot by Qingque, who also became a loser, but this was only a symptom but not a cure.

The resentment in my heart will only become more and more ingrained over time. Sooner or later, there will be a day when it will erupt.

But before that, he first met the emperor's uncle Sanzang Holy Buddha, and was accepted by his master Li Chunfeng In addition to being unwilling to forgive his father, Li Chengqian thought that he had let go of the obsession of the year.

But now Wei Zheng's "His Royal Highness the Prince" still poked him straight to his heart.

Relieved and relieved, but how can you forget.

In this regard, Wei Zheng is also very conscious, if he is still alive, he will definitely not let such a thing happen.

But at that time, he had already passed away, and he could only say that Li Er didn't do anything, calculating that his two sons would "kill each other", and finally said that the two of them couldn't be merciful.

You, the father, as long as you give some correct guidance, instead of encouraging Qingque's covetousness for the Supreme, things will not develop to this point.

That is, Li Zhi, a child, can definitely be regarded as a good emperor, otherwise. Wei Zheng wanted to wake up Li Shimin in the middle of the night and ask him what he thought.

In fact, there is no need to ask, Wei Zheng can also guess a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, nothing more than Li Shimin himself is the initiator, for fear that his son will follow suit, so after perceiving Qingque's heart, he designed in advance to clear this hidden danger, and at the same time, he can also pull the "lame prince" off the horse logically.

It can only be said that Li Shimin's son's skills are indeed outstanding, looking at the entire history of the Central Plains, in fact, whether it is Li Chengqian or Li Tai, it is enough to be regarded as a very good inheritance, put it on other emperors, you have to wake up with laughter in your dreams, where are you willing to let the two of them fight and lose?

Moreover, even if Li Zhi is not angry, there is also Li Ke, the king of Wu, as an alternative. In short, unless all his sons are dead, Li Shimin will not worry about having no heirs.

And now, whether his sons can get him is still a question.

Some time ago, Li Zhi wanted to challenge the Son of Heaven's death tribulation, but after Li Chunfeng tested his strength, he thought that he was not qualified to do so.

Li Shimin has many sons and is competitive, but Li Zhi's side is different, although he has four sons, none of them were born to the same queen and queen. Li Shimin never expected that Li Zhi's child would have no problem anywhere, but on top of this major national event, something went wrong.

Although Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were in charge and passed Li Zhi's eldest son to Empress Wang, because Empress Wang was not favored, even if he was succeeded to Empress Wang and was made the crown prince, even he was not loved by Li Zhi.

Queen Wang died depressed, Concubine Xiao Shu successfully ascended the throne, and gave birth to a son for Li Zhi - Li Lian, who was named King Yong and was deeply loved by Li Zhi. Li Zhi wanted to make Concubine Xiao Shu the queen and crown Li Lian the crown prince, but the matter was temporarily shelved without Li Shimin's consent.

But Li Shimin took Li Lian with him to teach him personally, and Li Lian's astuteness and studious were also praised by Li Shimin.

The ministers in the Tang Dynasty court, in fact, did not pay too much attention to the matter of Li Zhili not establishing a prince, after all, as long as the emperor Li Shimin is in one day, let alone the prince, even the emperor is in name only.

For Li Shimin, the emperor is more like his "household book". At present, the first priority of the Tang Dynasty is to develop the people's livelihood, to fill the treasury, and to make money!

How can you fight a war without money?

How to conquer the Three Realms?

How can you preach the king of the Taoist?!

I have to say that in this regard, Li Zhi has done a really good job, and the fullness of the Datang treasury is unprecedented.

Not to mention Li Shimin, even if all the previous emperors combined, I am afraid they have never been so rich.

Li Shimin is also poor, especially when he first ascended the throne, everything is wasted and needs to be spent everywhere, even if he collects taxes and silver, he can't wait for the warmth, and he has to worry about it.

The Ministry of War wants to pay for food, the Ministry of Officials wants to pay for it, the Ministry of Industry wants to repair rivers, bridges, post roads and the construction of the imperial tomb, and the Ministry of Rites also costs money for sacrifices and various gifts

Since you have to spend money everywhere, then spend the money on the blade, and every penny must be compared.

At that time, he ate pickles in the palace to survive. The time in the entire palace was quite simple, so that the ministers in the court, even if they had some family wealth, did not dare to show it.

The sons of the Chang'an mansions did not dare to wear new clothes to go out to bite the gold, this old goods went to the court, and even wore patched clothes, if they didn't know that he would have a cow hit or die of illness every three or five days in the Luguo Mansion, the courtiers really thought that he was poor and couldn't even wear clothes.

However, such a method can only be used by him, even if Wei Zheng really has patched clothes, he will not wear them to the court, after all, it will damage the prestige of the country.

Even for a period of time, what Li Shimin wants to hear most is actually the news of corrupt officials, if it is just petty greed and does not harm the people, Li Shimin will turn a blind eye, but if it is huge greed. I'm sorry, it doesn't matter who you are, I Li Er has taken a fancy to your family property.

Wei Zheng was a supreme minister in the world back then, and he was also a person appointed by the Heavenly Court, Cao Guan, who was responsible for the connection between the two worlds of heaven and man, and now that he has reached Yin Cao after his death, he is only a great judge half a level lower than the top ten Yamas, and even to a certain extent, Wei Zheng's authority is not below the top ten Yamas.

Li Chengqian has a lot of respect for his teacher, even if the other party has not taught him for too long, but the other party's conduct is indeed deeply impressed by him.

Li Chengqian followed Li Shimin to Wei Zheng's mansion back then, and such a big Guogong Mansion looked so simple. As the chief assistant of the imperial court, he has a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he is an example for the country and the people.

No wonder even his father hated and loved him.

And a courtier like Wei Zheng is obviously not something that any emperor can control. From this point of view, Li Chengqian also felt very helpless about his father, who could tolerate Wei Zheng, but could not tolerate himself and Qingque.

As an emperor, Li Chengqian considered his father to be impeccable. But as a father, Li Chengqian didn't think he was qualified.

This is also the reason why kings and emperors call themselves lonely people, after all, when he sits in that position, his identity is not just the father of a person or a few people, but the father of the subjects and people of a country.

For this reason, some decisions have to be made.

Although Li Chengqian can now understand what his father did, as a son, he does not intend to forgive him as a father. But as a subject of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian hoped that his father, the emperor, would be able to sit on the throne for another five hundred years.

As for whether the Gentiles would like to see such a sight, that is their own business. If you have the guts, you will come to Datang to kill Li Shimin, and if you don't have the guts, you will hold back.

Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian haven't seen each other for a long time, and the two still talked about a lot of things, from the livelihood of the Tang Dynasty to Li Chengqian's personal problems, Wei Zheng is very concerned.

And Li Chengqian was also very patient to answer Wei Zheng one by one, and asked Wei Zheng for advice on some difficult matters.

If it continues to develop normally, Li Chengqian can afford to bear the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately His Majesty has put too much pressure on him, coupled with his leg disease and those younger brothers who are also outstanding, he was finally given up by Li Shimin.

But now that I look at it, maybe this is his fate, he lost the position of prince, but he became a successor of the human sect and a candidate for the eight immortals. (End of chapter)
