Li Chengqian, who was about to be driven crazy
Li Chengqian's side is intensively planning to kill Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu, who are satisfied with death.
But Yu Zhining and the others didn't seem to notice that Li Chengqian's attitude towards the two of them was getting worse and worse.
The two of them supervised Li Chengqian more and more strictly, and even some of Li Chengqian's entertainment activities in his leisure time had to be restricted.
That night, Li Chengqian felt really bored, so he played drums and drank with some of his subordinates and friends.
Because there were a few friends who didn't know each other well, he didn't do anything too out of the ordinary this time.
However, even so, Zhang Xuansu still came to the door after hearing that Li Chengqian was drumming and drinking in the prince's mansion.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this midnight hustle and bustle, drumming and drinking used to be something that only the king of the dead country would do.
Please also ask Your Highness to restrain your deeds and stop being so profligate. ”
After Zhang Xuansu entered the door, he began to criticize Li Chengqian in front of many outsiders.
This made Li Chengqian feel that he was losing face.
I saw him angrily ask Zhang Xuansu: "Why can't this prince feast guests and friends in his own mansion to make the atmosphere more warm?"
Every time my father invited the courtiers to a banquet, wasn't he also singing and dancing, full of jubilation?
Lord Zhang, this prince is just relaxing and entertaining at the moment, is it possible to sit upright with a serious face? ”
Zhang Xuansu opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness's normal entertainment, Wei Chen will naturally not interfere too much.
However, His Highness gathered a crowd to drink in the middle of the night, but he also had to beat drums and disturb the people, so the ministers could not ignore it. ”
Li Chengqian said angrily: "At this time, it has just been nightfall, and this prince's mansion is close to the palace.
This prince wants to ask Master Zhang, whose people did I disturb? ”
Zhang Xuansu opened his mouth and said: "The people living around the Prince's Mansion are either members of the imperial court or Confucian scholars who are full of learning, and there is only a wall between them and the inner palace.
Isn't Your Highness afraid of His Majesty's guilt if he is so nonsense? ”
After listening to Zhang Xuansu's words, Li Chengqian said: "My father knows that this prince is in a bad mood and will not punish me.
But Lord Zhang is so nervous, I'm afraid that the prince's actions are really afraid that my father will blame you, right? ”
Zhang Xuansu said: "Xiaguan, as a teacher of His Royal Highness, he has the responsibility of supervision, and what he is doing now is just to be loyal to his duties." ”
"What if this prince wants to do this?" Li Chengqian stared at Zhang Xuansu and asked.
Zhang Xuansu didn't think about it and said, "That official will inform the emperor of this matter tomorrow."
If the emperor refuses to punish you, he will resign as the right concubine.
In this way, the ears of His Highness will be purified in the future. ”
"Are you threatening the crown prince with your father?" Li Chengqian said angrily.
"The lower officials don't dare!" Zhang Xuansu said.
Li Chengqian squinted his eyes at Zhang Xuansu and asked, "You have already done this countless times, why don't you dare?" ”
Zhang Xuansu said: "What the lower officials did was just to not want His Highness to go astray. ”
After hearing this, Li Chengqian said: "This prince has long been an adult, and he has long been able to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil.
Don't think that Prince Ben doesn't know why you and Yu Zhining discipline Prince Ben so strictly.
It's just that you don't want to be reprimanded by your father. ”
Zhang Xuansu did not refute Li Chengqian's words.
I only heard him open his mouth and say to Li Chengqian: "No matter how His Highness understands it, anyway, the officials can't sit idly by and watch today's affairs." ”
"You..." Li Chengqian angrily pointed at Zhang Xuansu, but found that the other party didn't seem to be moved at all.
Such a reaction suddenly made Li Chengqian angry.
I saw that he inspected back and forth several times under the gaze of a group of guests and friends, and finally picked up a big drum and fell directly to the ground.
Then he angrily asked Zhang Xuansu, "Lord Zhang should be satisfied now, right?" ”
At this time, Li Chengqian's eyes looking at Zhang Xuansu were both angry and full of murderous intent.
He was now eager to break Zhang Xuansu's body into pieces immediately.
However, Zhang Xuansu seems to be indifferent to Li Chengqian's attitude at all.
He saluted Li Chengqian and said, "Since His Royal Highness has already known his mistake, then His Highness will retire."
I hope that Your Highness will take this as a warning in the future and not make the same mistake again. ”
After saying this, Zhang Xuansu turned his head and left, completely ignoring Li Chengqian's hatred and the shock of the surrounding guests.
Li Chengqian, who was already furious, shouted angrily after Zhang Xuansu left: "Today's banquet is over, let this prince go!" ”
With that, he walked towards a saber that hung on the wall.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, he drew his sword and waved his hand to cut off the low table used by one side for eating.
Seeing this situation, everyone didn't dare to stay longer, and quickly left the prince's mansion.
After everyone left, Li Chengqian sat directly on the ground with a lonely face.
He felt that his current life was too aggrieved.
As a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't even have the freedom to indulge in entertainment.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's eyes turned red, and then he couldn't help shedding big tears.
At this time, there was already a dark seed in Li Chengqian's heart, and it began to sprout slowly.
At this time, he not only wanted to kill Zhang Xuansu and Yu Zhining as soon as possible, but also did not want to continue to accept anyone's control.
He was already eager to take the throne and kill anyone who dared to oppose him.
So from the next day, a shocking conspiracy began to be carried out in secret.
Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu didn't know that their strict control of Li Chengqian had completely driven him crazy.
The two of them are still happy to do this, and from time to time they will come to Li Shimin to sue Li Chengqian.
And these actions of the two also made Li Shimin more and more disappointed in Li Chengqian.
As a result, Li Chengqian's discipline has become more and more strict.
Under such circumstances, Li Tai's recent outstanding performance quickly formed a strong contrast with Li Chengqian.
I don't know what means Shi Du Chuke, the governor of the Wei Palace, used, to get a letter of Wanmin for him and send it to Zhongshu Province.
The book of the people praised the development of Xiangzhou in the past year.
It seems that the entire Xiangzhou, whether it is ordinary people or businesses from all walks of life, has lived a life that is not inferior to Chang'an City.
When Zhang Ananda read out the letter of the people in public above the court, Li Zhi almost dropped his jaw in surprise.
He looked at Li Tai with a proud face on the side in shock, and couldn't help but think in his heart:
My dear fourth brother, your current approach is a bit too shameful, isn't it?
Brother, I have worked hard to run and merge the state for so many years, and I have not been embarrassed to get a book of all the people.
You have just started to exert your strength, and you dare to say that Xiangzhou is no longer inferior to Chang'an City?
Do you know what kind of life the people of Chang'an are living now?
Can it be seen that the people around Chang'an City are no longer comparable to the people of other big cities?
My dear fourth brother, haven't the subordinates who got this letter of the people for you have never seen the money?
