After listening quietly to the narration of the servant Lao Gao, Prince Chengqian's face was very ugly, he didn't expect this guy Qingque to be so scheming? secretly contacted the Zheng family of Xingyang, and held the Jingxiang Water Master in his hands, I always thought that he liked literature and hated martial arts, but it turned out that it was all appearances......

Li Er asked the chamberlain Lao Gao to report, but he pretended to be frosty, but he was actually secretly observing his son's attitude.

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression struggling, Li Er didn't feel strange, if he was indifferent in the face of someone taking the heir, he would either be stupid or scheming. But Li Chengqian is still a minor after all, and he hasn't experienced too many things, so he can't be happy and angry.

In the face of this brother of the same mother, he committed such a big taboo and let Li Chengqian deal with it himself? He was torn in his heart. also knows that the emperor's father is testing himself, and if the punishment is heavy, he will not miss brotherhood, and if the punishment is light, it will be his lack of ability. Therefore, Li Chengqian was silent for a while and did not express his position.

Emperor Li Er opened his mouth and said: "Qingque, this rebel, is bold!" Since he promised to make a good book in the Literature Museum, let him concentrate on compiling books, and he was not allowed to go out until the books were completed. ”

"Cheng Qian, don't worry, you won't let anyone contact him in the future."

Yes?

Li Chengqian didn't expect his father to say this, which was unthinkable before. In my impression, he has always been stern, but since he recalled himself to the East Palace this time to intern in handling government affairs, his father's attitude seems to have changed a lot, becoming more and more serious, and even praising a few words from time to time.

What do you mean by these words today? Severely punish the fourth child and help me stabilize my position as the prince?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian hurriedly persuaded: "Father's anger is relieved. As the prince, the fourth brother wants to show his ability, which is understandable. Erchen thinks that for my Tang Dynasty ten thousand years, my Tang prince should be a capable person to live in, if the fourth brother can beat the child, Erchen is willing to give up the position of the prince, they are all compatriots of the same mother, who has the ability to lead the Tang Dynasty to go better, naturally who will be the prince. So ......"

Confused!

Without waiting for Li Chengqian to finish speaking, Li Er severely reprimanded.

"Since ancient times, you have been orderly, you are the elder brother and the prince, and you have no faults. As a brother of your mother, he doesn't want to help you, but wants to compete with you for power? Don't you know how harmful the dispute between the princes and the prince is to the imperial court? The wind can't rise! ”

"And what is the color of the blue finch, you don't know? Don't I know? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Father, maybe we don't know the fourth brother too well. This is what we didn't expect. ”

"Erchen still thinks that the prince is a state affair, and there should be a capable person living in it, and since the fourth brother has a heart, he should be given a chance. As an elder brother, when there is a belly, the child and the fourth brother are the same mother, how can they distinguish each other? ”

Li Er raised his eyebrows, and seemed to see his son's thoughts, "You mean, you want to win the fourth child openly and prove to him that you are better than him?" So convincing him? ”

Li Chengqian said modestly: "The child does have this intention. But if it turns out that the fourth brother is more capable than the child, then the minister is willing to let the virtuous and assist the fourth brother in the same way, all for the foundation of my Datang. ”

"So my father said before that the fourth brother would be punished heavily, and the child thought it was impossible."

Regardless of whether this is the eldest son's sincere words or not, but Li Er is already very satisfied with being able to say this, at least this confidence is good.

"Alas...... The young and the old are orderly, and I don't want to see your brothers quarrel. From childhood to adulthood, one mother and compatriots, is it not good to be a brother and a brother? Your indulgence of him like this may not be good for you in the future. So you've figured it out. ”

Li Chengqian said seriously: "Father, since ancient times, it has been said that the young and the young are orderly, but how many dynasties have really achieved the order of the young and the old?" The rise and fall of a dynasty still depends on the talent of the monarch, whether it is virtuous or not. Datang is the foundation of my Li family, and it is your father who carries everything on your shoulders to have today......"

The chamberlain Lao Gao couldn't help but remind: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

The topic is now about the taboo Xuanwu Gate, a forbidden area that is not easy to touch the emperor, this kind of topic can not be avoided, how can it be mentioned in front of the emperor?

Li Chengqian suddenly remembered, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for sin, "Father forgives me!" Erchen didn't mean to offend, but I personally thought that since this kind of battle was inevitable, it was better to put it in the open, and the light of winning and losing, or everyone could be convinced, and it would not hurt the feelings of brothers. ”

Listening to Li Chengqian's sincere explanation, Li Er's originally dark face gradually faded, and a trace of approval flashed in his eyes, but he still did not show it.

After a moment of silence, he sighed and said: "Okay, get up, right and wrong, leave it to future generations to comment." You are still young, and many of the inside stories are not clear, so I can only tell you, how can the battle for the prince be so simple? If so, the ...... "

"Alas! Don't mention it, although you plead for the fourth, but this time he is really too much. A monarch can thunder means, but he cannot be unscrupulous. Dare to detain or even design to murder Qincha, and he is also a prime minister? What does he want to do? Your brother-in-law Xiao Rui went to quell the chaos and was almost killed by them, how can he not be severely punished for being so bold and reckless? ”

What??

Li Chengqian stood stunned on the spot, Gao Nei didn't say this just now! It is only said that the King of Wei united with the Zheng family and bought the Jingxiang Water Division, and was found out by the Qin sent Wei Xiang, who wanted to take a risk to kill people and destroy his mouth, and almost caused a catastrophe, but fortunately the champion Hou passed by to quell the chaos. You didn't give you the specifics.

Li Er thought that Li Chengqian was in a daze and was thinking of countermeasures.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Chengqian suddenly said excitedly: "Not good! Father, since my brother-in-law and his entourage have already walked to Luoyang, they will be able to return to Chang'an in a few days. The fourth brother is afraid that there is danger, so send someone to send him away quickly, the farther away the better......"

Well? What's going on?

The chamberlain Lao Gao opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness is too worried, how can the Hou Ye be unfavorable to His Royal Highness King Wei?" And this matter involves the dispute between the princes, with the character of the marquis, he is unwilling to interfere, and he will definitely hand it over to His Majesty to decide. Your Majesty loves talents, whether it is for the Hou Ye or for Wei Xiang, there will be a saying, so the punishment of His Royal Highness the King of Wei will be ......"

Without waiting for Lao Gao to finish speaking, Li Chengqian interrupted and said, "No! You don't know your brother-in-law, he is a gentle gentleman on weekdays, but if anyone dares to do anything to him, it will definitely usher in the strongest anger of his brother-in-law. ”

Yes? Is it that serious?

Li Chengqian said in a deep voice: "Father, I'm afraid you forgot your brother-in-law's nickname. ”

Nickname? What nickname?

Lao Gao, the waiter, is also recalling, and he has a lot of nicknames in his impression, such as poetry and painting, the first in the world, the first miracle doctor, and the richest man in the Tang Dynasty......

Li Chengqian spat out four words that had been forgotten for many years: "I will repay you!" ”

Hiss......

Li Er and Lao Gao's thoughts were instantly pulled back to the first year of Zhenguan, remembering that Xiao Rui was forcibly pulled into the officialdom, and he dared to punish the traitors and eliminate the evil in Chang'an City, just serving as a small head of the Yushitai......

"This time, the fourth brother not only made a move against his brother-in-law, but also designed to get rid of Wei Xiang, any of which was enough for his brother-in-law to make a move, so ......," Li Chengqian deduced.

Thinking of Xiao Rui, who was stunned, Li Er had no bottom in his heart, and turned his head to the inner servant Lao Gao and ordered: "Send someone immediately to send that rebel son to Wei Di to become a vassal, and you can't come back without an edict!" Send a team to watch him and don't let him do anything wrong in the domain. ”

"By the way, please come to the queen."
