Chapter 144 The Prince's Invitation

Li Shimin put away his guilt towards Liu Sheng, and then began to reward other heroes. Those who were rewarded looked excited, at least on the surface.

Not long after, the formal reward for meritorious deeds ended, and Li Shimin also announced the upcoming celebration banquet.

But Liu Sheng didn't have the mind to participate, not because the reward was unfair, but because his mind was not here.

Wouldn't it be better to just stay at home with my wife and daughter while drinking and chatting with a bunch of elders?

Therefore, he left the hall as soon as the court was over, without the slightest nostalgia.

Liu Sheng didn't care that the reward was fair or unfair, but others didn't think so. They thought Liu Sheng couldn't stand the grievance, so they planned to leave early.

During the period, it was not that no one persuaded Liu Sheng to stay, but Liu Sheng was really not interested in this kind of banquet, so he refused them all.

Until, Prince Li Chengqian sent someone to invite him.

"What, did the crown prince send you here?" Liu Sheng looked at the eunuch in front of him and asked.

He was puzzled for a while, how could the prince come to invite him?

Could it be that he intends to buy people's hearts?
But isn't he still the prince?Is the rebellion starting now?This is too urgent.

For the prince's invitation, Liu Sheng originally wanted to refuse, but even the emperor's request to keep me refused, the prince is nothing.

"You go back and tell the prince, my son-in-law is really eager to go home..."

Before Liu Sheng finished speaking, the other party bowed earnestly and said:

"I beg you Prince Consort Liu not to refuse, the Crown Prince sincerely invites Prince Consort Liu!"

Liu Sheng is speechless, if you say that, then the others are lying?

Among them is the emperor Li Shimin.

What's more, some people don't even bother to show their hypocrisy.

The other party seemed to have reacted, and his face became anxious for a while, making Liu Sheng even more speechless. Li Chengqian sent such a fool over?

No wonder he failed to rebel in history. If he led a group of people with lack of brains to rebel, it would be a ghost if he succeeded.

Du He was like this, Fang Yiai was like this, and so was the little eunuch in front of him.

In desperation, in order to save trouble, Liu Sheng agreed to Li Chengqian's invitation.

Although the prince's house is quite big, but fortunately his name does not have the word Jie, otherwise Liu Sheng would not come here even if he was beaten to death.

Soon, Liu Sheng came to the East Palace under the leadership of the little eunuch.

The East Palace is not just a palace, but a whole complex of palace buildings. Liu Sheng would probably lose his way if he hadn't been led by someone.

I don't know how those assassins in history managed to walk on the ground in this place, which is even worse than the maze.

After entering one of the palaces, Liu Sheng saw Li Chengqian sitting at the top.

Looking at Li Chengqian's expression, Liu Sheng knew that the other party must have misunderstood, and he didn't have any grievances, and he didn't need to be bribed.

Speaking of Prince Li Chengqian, I have to say that his life is indeed magical.

He was established as the emperor's grandson during the reign of Wude. When Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he was immediately registered as the crown prince. It can be seen how much Li Shimin loves him.

Clever and benevolent, this is Li Shimin's evaluation of him. Li Shimin even sent Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Yu Zhining, Du Zhenglun and Wei Zheng to assist and teach him carefully. It can be said that the capital of all officials is in his Donggong faction.

Even, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin issued an imperial edict, "It is appropriate to accept the hearing of the case", and even said, "From now on, only those who sue the Minister and those who are not subdued will be opened in the East Palace, and the order will be accepted by Qian." cut off!"

That is to say, even Shangshu Sheng is within his reach, which shows how stable his position is.

But no one is perfect, he still has a fatal weakness after all, that is, he has leg problems, even frail and sickly, and he has learned that Wei Wang Li Tai has the idea of ​​seizing the heir, so he has become more and more arrogant and arrogant , Even disrespecting the teacher.

But that's it, Li Shimin hasn't given up on him yet, even though he likes Li Tai very much, he still can't replace Li Chengqian's position in his heart after all.

Li Chengqian was also restrained until the death of Empress Changsun, the string in his heart was broken.

His distrust of Li Shimin and fear of Li Tai led him to embark on the road of rebellion. He first assassinated Li Tai, but failed.

Then he joined forces with Li Yuanchang, King of Han, Du He, Du He, Duke of Chen, and others to rebel in public, but failed in the end.

It can be said that Li Chengqian's history of rebellion is a failure history of inspiration but not smart. He has always failed and never succeeded. .

Liu Sheng didn't want to join in even if he was beaten to death, and he wasn't stupid. What's more, he didn't know whether Li Chengqian would die if he failed in the rebellion, but he would definitely die.

In history, even if Li Chengqian's rebellion failed, Li Shimin hadn't given him to death, and even painstakingly saved him, deposed him as a commoner, and exiled him in Qianzhou.

Even after he died, he was buried with the state ceremony.

To be honest, with such a stable position, he still thought of rebelling, and Liu Sheng didn't even know what he was thinking.

As far as Liu Sheng knows about history, what he knows is that only the founding prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao, has a more stable position than him. It seems that no one is more stable than his prince.

"I don't know what the prince is talking about looking for this son-in-law?" Liu Sheng was not at all afraid of the prince in front of him, he was considered half a member of the royal family, besides, Li Shimin is in his prime, so is he still afraid of you?

And in terms of status, he can be regarded as his brother-in-law.

In terms of strength, no matter how you say it, Liu Sheng is not afraid, so there is no sincerity and fear in his speech, just a very plain dialogue.

"It's actually not a big deal to come to look for Prince Consort Liu this time." Li Chengqian waved his hand to Liu Sheng, motioning him to sit down, with a friendly demeanor.

Liu Sheng was speechless. Since there is no major matter, why did you ask me to come here? Are you idle and bored?
If you have anything to say, hurry up, I'm going home to spend time with my wife and daughter, but I don't have time to chat with you here.

He was impatient in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He sat down unrestrainedly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

I have to say, the tea is not bad,

Seeing the change in Liu Sheng's expression after taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his lips:
"If Consort Liu is satisfied, you can bring some back when you go back. The East Palace still has some of this kind of tribute tea."

"How embarrassing is that?" Liu Sheng waved his hand to express that there was no need to do so, but he became vigilant in his heart.

Li Chengqian's attitude was probably too enthusiastic. He didn't want to recruit himself, did he?
