Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 16 My Cui family, I can't afford to lose that face!
All the good things have been said.

When Li Shimin said this, he didn't know what else to say.

Upon hearing this, Prince Li Chengqian nodded expressionlessly.

"As long as you are not partial, Father, I will not be able to blame you."

To be favored is to be confident.

Now Li Shimin obviously pays more attention to Li Zhi.

Without the capital of arrogance, the prince gradually calmed down.

He knew that as long as he didn't make mistakes again, no one could drive him down from the position of prince.

He thought very clearly.

As long as Li Shimin and Li Zhi don't turn the tables, then the throne is destined to be his.

Anyway, he was afraid of Li Zhi. He was obviously more than ten years younger than him, so he could only understand one or two sentences out of ten.

Such a big gap made Li Chengqian realize the reality.

Seeing that Li Chengqian could accept this fact calmly, Li Shimin was somewhat relieved in his heart.

At least not as rebellious and irritable as before, isn't it?
As long as it can develop in a good direction, it is always a good thing.

Waving his hand at him, Li Shimin said: "Go ahead, think carefully about what to do in the future, you also have your little court, and in the future, you should ask your subordinates for their opinions."

A large part of the imperial palace was specially split and distributed to the Eastern Palace, so that the prince could train his own team.

There are quite a few staff officers around the prince, so Li Shimin doesn't need to care too much.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded, bowed respectfully and left.

After the prince also left, Li Shimin sighed again.

"My heart is a little confused, and now I don't know who to turn to."

Another sending proposition.

Changsun Wuji continued to pretend to be dead, pretending that he was a stone sculpture and didn't hear anything.

"When I said this, I never thought of finding out an answer. Being able to talk to you can be regarded as a relief of pressure."

Li Shimin's words slapped Changsun Wuji's shoulder heavily, making Changsun Wuji tremble in fright.

The next moment, Li Shimin raised his voice and said, "Come on!"

"Our house is here."

An old eunuch trotted in, knelt beside Li Shimin and waited for his order.

"Send this poem to the residence of Cui's family in Wucheng County, Beizhou (Qinghe County), and send the poem to Cui Shu in its original form, so that he can take a good look at it!"

"Our family obeys the order!"

The old eunuch carefully opened the rice paper with brush and ink on it, and turned his head to leave.

At this time, Li Shimin frowned.

"Wait! Leave the poem and ask someone to copy it and send it over!"

"what?"

"Ah what? This is written by Xiaojiu himself, I want to keep it for collection!"

"Ah! Our family understands, and now we will copy it in His Majesty's holy wisdom."

……

Wucheng County, Cui's old house.

An old man with white beard and hair spread out the letter and was furious after reading the words inside.

"It's unreasonable! It's really unreasonable!"

"I think back then, if it wasn't for my Cui family's strong support, how could his Li family win the world?"

"Now he actually uses such clumsy tricks to humiliate me, it's too deceiving!"

Cui Shu, an old minister of the Sui Dynasty, was also a senior official of the Tang Dynasty.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he served as the governor of Weizhou. When Li Tang rebelled, he joined Li Tang's sect together with Zhang Gongjin, the deceased Duke of Tan Guo.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he had made some contributions, and once served as the Minister of Agriculture in the court.

But then somehow, he was dismissed from office, and now he is resting at home.

Previously, it was Cui Shu who sent someone to humiliate Li Shimin.

Now being ridiculed by Li Zhi's poem, Cui Shu was furious.

In the room, a handsome young man saw Cui Shu's anger, so he got up to comfort him: "Please calm down, grandfather, this matter may not be what His Majesty intended. My grandson is going to the capital recently, why don't I let my grandson inquire about it? What the hell does this happen."

"Going to the capital? Why are you going to the capital? Are you humiliating yourself?"

Cui Shu's eyes widened, and he cursed: "Li Shimin's son, didn't he just want to get revenge for the refusal of the marriage before? He didn't think about it, how did he get the throne? He killed his brother and forced his father! He killed his brother. Forcing Gao Zu to abdicate to the virtuous, and using barbaric means to snatch it!"

"What is the difference between these methods and the mountain bandits?"

"Now, he wants to push his son and brother to fight against the wall again, and let such dirty things happen again in the court."

"How can the old man agree to marry such a family?"

"My Cui family, I can't afford to lose that face!"

Cui Shu scolded him so much that he was heartbroken and very angry!

Perhaps, his dismissal from office was also related to the Xuanwu Gate incident? ?

If not, why would he care so much about Li Shimin usurping the throne?
The young man seemed to know some inside information, he sighed and said: "Anyway, it is still a pilgrimage, even if grandfather is unwilling in every possible way, just send someone to reject this marriage, how can he humiliate the Holy One?"

"Is he afraid that others will not be able to do what he did?" Cui Shu said unconvinced: "Hmph! What's wrong with the old man? The old man is just telling the truth, he is not willing to listen, so who can be blamed?"

"Anyway, grandfather, calm down first, let your grandson go to the capital to have a look, and we'll talk about it after the investigation is clear."

Cui Zhiwen, who was only 14 years old, sighed and felt that his future was bleak.

The Cui family of Qinghe was also in great misfortune when they met such a strong patriarch.

On weekdays, it's fine to scold a few words in private, why do you want to show your presence in front of the emperor?
It's good now, it's not good to be roasted on the fire, and it's not good to go to the capital to report on the job with the appointment letter, and it's not good if you don't go.

How does this make him good?
Now you are comfortable.

But thousands of ambitious people in the Cui family have no shame in going to the capital to serve as officials.

Have you ever thought of me, a celebrity from the Cui family, alas...

Cui Zhiwen shook his head and sighed, he only hoped that there was still room for this matter to be reduced to a minor one.

Originally, he was scheduled to go to the capital in three months, but now he had to go on the road earlier.

Now, he can only pray that the trip goes well.

……

Daxing Palace, a side hall of Ganlu Hall.

"Xiao Si, Brother Ninth is going out of the palace today. Are you interested in going out with Brother Ninth to see the outside world?"

Li Zhi stood at the door of the pink girl's boudoir, seducing Princess Jinyang with a seductive tone.

At this moment, Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang was sitting in front of the dressing table embroidering. Hearing what Li Zhi said, her cute little ears were shaking back and forth.

"Ninth brother? Did the emperor allow you to leave the palace?" Li Mingda carefully observed the scene outside and asked in a low voice.

Li Zhi took out a gold medal from his pocket and waved it in front of her eyes.

"No! With the token to leave the palace, you can leave whenever you want!"

The golden token flashed in front of his eyes, and Li Mingda's eyes lit up.

"Brother Ninth, tell me the truth, where did you find this token? It couldn't have been stolen from my father, right?"

Although Li Mingda also wanted to see the outside world, she was still the same as usual, full of various worries in her heart.
