Don't be a prince

The gate of the East Palace also belongs to the imperial city, so if such a big event happened, it would naturally be reported to the emperor and even the officials.

When Chang He and Li Chengqian paid homage to the emperor, Li Shimin, who was training the King of Qin's team of breaking formations at the annual banquet, couldn't help but frowned. I slowly, Prince, how many times is this the first time? Hou Junji once, but there was no fight at that time, when you were in Yueyang, you also framed the brothers of the Wu family for rebellion, and now you are here again?"

Although he heard what the emperor said clearly, Chang He secretly bit his tongue and decided that he didn't hear anything.

Naturally, Li Chengqian didn't think that the movement at the gate of the East Palace could be hidden from the emperor's father. After all, if Chang'an was a spider web, he would be the big spider in the middle, and any disturbances could not be hidden from him.

Seeing the emperor waving his hand again, Chang He, who had already become a master, immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know anything, and I haven't heard anything, so I will leave!"

After speaking, he slipped away like his butt was on fire.

Seeing that Chang He also ran away, Li Chengqian stepped forward a few more steps, walked up to Jinta and cupped his hands and said, "Father, it is true that I have falsely accused the brothers of the Wu family of treason, but they are indeed worthy of this crime. You should understand Yes, if it wasn't necessary, why do you think Erchen falsely accused Yin Hongzhi? Besides, not only the East Palace belonged, but the Jinwu Guard had already rushed to the vicinity. If it wasn't for Erchen's subordinate Liu Mang who was loyal to protect the lord, you would have There will be no eldest son!"

Li Shimin snorted and said: "Anyone who is good at archery is good at dodging. Even without the protection of your subordinates, I believe you can definitely dodge it. A good archery talent, it is a pity that you killed him. There is no outsider now." , tell me, what is it for this time?"

Li Chengqian cupped his hands and said: "It's just to make Li You change for the better! Father, you don't know, although Li You is an asshole, his guilt lies in not knowing right from wrong, and being fooled by Yin Hongzhi. It's getting worse and worse. Why did Yin Hongzhi lure Li You to recruit people? Father, you should know better than my son! It's just that my son doesn't understand why you still keep Yin Hongzhi by Li You's side? Is Li You pushing into the abyss?"

On the way here, Li Chengqian had guessed something.With the emperor's terror, how could he not know what Yin Hongzhi was planning?But in this way, he still chose to let it go, and wanted to see if Yin Hongzhi had the courage to directly start a riot.The emperor lacks opponents, so it's not a matter of cultivating opponents, but if Li You is trapped, it's over!

Although it was not the first time, Li Chengqian still felt that it was not easy to be the son of the emperor Li Shimin!

Li Shimin's eyes showed a rare gleam, and he said with a smile: "I have removed the obstacles for you. Why, don't you appreciate it? If Li You did the rebellious thing, you will have to blame yourself. I'm afraid you can't blame me. on it!"

How to say?How to answer?

Thinking of an answer, Li Chengqian even felt like running away again. This time, it was not Lingnan.

After strengthening his determination, Li Chengqian still cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if my father has ever heard such a poem: when the melons are yellow, the melons are ripe and the seeds are separated. Once the melons are picked, the melons will be good, and then the melons will be thinned. Picking three times is still possible, but picking the vine and returning home?"

Li Shimin changed from lying on his side to sitting upright. Although Li Chengqian lowered his head, he could still see Li Shimin's clenched fists.It's over, I'm afraid I will be beaten this time!

However, let the emperor continue to play like this, who knows what will happen?It's not just Li You, Li Chengqian is extremely suspicious that Li Yin became like this because of his connivance.If that's the case for the two of them, what about the other princes?I'm afraid it's about the same!

After a long time, the imaginary slap didn't touch his body, Li Chengqian raised his head, only to see that the emperor left Jinta at some point, went to the side and poured two cups of tea, drank one cup, and handed the other cup in front of him.

Reaching out his hand to take the teacup, Li Chengqian wondered why the emperor suppressed his anger.

After drinking a cup of tea slowly, Li Shimin said: "Since you think it's inappropriate, I don't want to continue. It's just Chengqian, when I'm here, I can still suppress the officials. After you inherit the throne, if this happens again What should we do? Are you going to start with the notoriety of 'killing fellow countrymen'?"

After taking a sip of tea, Li Chengqian held the teacup and cupped his hands and said, "I feel that such a thing is very difficult to happen. Even if it happens, I can do it even if it is a green bird, and I am not afraid of being reprimanded. Treat each other sincerely but Raising a white-eyed wolf, why can't my son deal with it? There is a reason for this, no matter where you stand in the Tang Dynasty, your son is justified!"

He reached out and patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, and Li Shimin smiled and said, "I hope you will be able to do this at that time! Forget it, Yin Hongzhi, I will break his two legs, exile him in Lingnan, and never return home for the rest of his life. Don't look at Concubine Yin's appearance, in fact she has a lot of complaints about her elder brother. By saving his life, I have given enough face to Concubine Yin and Li You. As for the aftermath of Qizhou, I will leave it to you Yes. You are also Shangshuling now, and I will give you the power to mobilize the government soldiers."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin waved his hands irritably, and went back to the Jinta and lay on his side.

Li Chengqian bowed his hands and took the order, walked out of the hall, and let the dancers and musicians go in again.

That's the end of this matter, it doesn't make any difference whether Yin Hongzhi's life is kept or not.Breaking his legs and exile to Lingnan is equivalent to killing him in disguise.

It just sounds better.

Li Jian appeared next to Li Chengqian like a ghost, and handed over a token and a pure gold tiger talisman.Possessing these two things, Li Chengqian, as a minister, can bypass the emperor's process and directly order the local government soldiers.Of course, there must be constraints, and the possibility of settling accounts after the fall is not ruled out.

Putting away the badge and tiger amulet, Li Chengqian went directly to the Ministry of War.

Although the three provinces and the six ministries are fine, there are still officials on duty.

The official on duty of the Ministry of War today is Zhou Changming, the left servant of the Ministry of War. Li Chengqian doesn't know this guy at all.The original Zhao Zian didn't even know where he was transferred.What an iron-clad big guy and a watery little guy!

Taking out the emperor's badge and tiger talisman, Li Chengqian wrote a letter to Shi Xue Dading, the head of Qi Wang's mansion, in the Ministry of War, ordering him to use Qizhou mansion soldiers to arrest all the ghosts and snakes in Qi Wang's mansion, and put them in the Qizhou prison. He was interrogated by the governor of Qizhou. If he was guilty, he would be punished. If he was not guilty, he would be expelled.

After completing all this, Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, instead of having dinner with Ashina Xue and Xiuxiu, he entertained Li You and Li Yin in the Chongjiao Hall.

These two lawless guys have restrained a lot, and they seem to be polite in words and deeds, just like Mr. Pianpian.

While eating, Li Chengqian said to Li You: "Gu has already ordered to mobilize Qizhou government soldiers to search your Qi Palace. Li You, be careful in the future, what are you doing with so many so-called dead soldiers? Do you know?" You know, this kind of behavior, if you say it in a small way, is overstepping the rules, if you say it in a big way, it is deliberate rebellion!"

Hearing the word "rebellion", Li You poked his chopsticks into his nose, and without even pulling it out, he said repeatedly: "Brother Emperor, I have no intention of rebellion! I have no intention of rebellion!"

"Pull out your chopsticks, don't be disgusting. I just believe that you don't want to rebel, what do you make others think? Believe it or not, at least half of the courtiers have already drafted the impeachment of your rebellion, and they are waiting for you to scale it up." A little older, so that you can be convicted of your crime! As the prince, it is the best choice for you to stay honestly in Qizhou. Don’t you know? For you, it’s not bad to do less, do less Wrong, how many mistakes do you make?"

Chapter 425 Little brother

Li You was a little dumbfounded. The education he had received all along in the palace was to become a qualified prince, to share his worries and benefit one side.But when he got to the place, Xue Dading snatched all his power away, even if he went out of the palace for nothing, he would be surrounded by a group of people.

Xue Dading wants to seek power!Or be instructed to frame me!This is what Li You has always thought.But now, the crown prince told him that to be a good prince is to do nothing?What the emotional uncle told him was all nonsense, what Xue Dading did was right?

Glancing at Li Yin who pretended not to listen, Li Chengqian sighed and said, "Li Yin, tell him."

"what?"

Li Yin scratched his head and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Tell Li Youbai what your brother taught you, don't think Gu doesn't know that your brother has taught you how to protect yourself."

Li Yin's eyes widened, he didn't understand why the prince was so clear about the things between the two brothers.

Although shocked, he still turned his head and said to Li You: "Fifth brother, for us princes who are not qualified to inherit the throne, it is right to enjoy the glory and wealth and not to think about making progress. We are vassal kings in name, and even Holding the power of the governor of more than one state, but we had better not be contaminated. Today, the division of state capitals in the world has been completed. Counties have county magistrates, states have governors, and military commanders have governors. The name is the same as an official position like Chaosan doctor, it just sounds nice.

And once we really want to exercise the power of the governor, we will overstep our power, and we will be directly suspected of treason.Because we are princes, our status is noble, and we don't need any merits to exchange for a lifetime of peace and wealth.Don't look at the long history depriving us of our actual power, but they are the worst.If it’s done well, we’ll be the ones who get the most rewards, if it’s messed up, he’s the only one to be blamed.In this way, we are not afraid of making mistakes, and we can make achievements lying down, so why should we make ourselves uncomfortable? "

After listening to Li Yin's words, Li You was even more confused, no matter what the crown prince said or what Li Yin said, he had never come into contact with it!The problem is, no one has ever said such a thing to him!

No, not right.

Remembering that before I became a fan, my mother wanted me to be honest, eat more, drink more, and not care about politics.At that time, he only thought that his mother cared about him, but now it seems that it was clearly telling him not to move around!

Seeing that Li You started to think, Li Chengqian didn't say much.Some words, it is enough for me to get out of my mouth and into your ears. Those rules that are not expressly stipulated are not rules?They are all the more necessary to obey.

After the meal, Zhang Yun also appeared in good time, holding three bowls of soup and medicine on a tray.

Taking out a bowl from the tray, a disgusting smell filled the entire dining table.Li You, who hadn't eaten enough yet, no longer had the desire to eat at all.

Pointing to the tray, Li Chengqian said: "You two are out of luck. This is the medicine prescribed by Daoist Sun for Gu. It seems that you two need it too. Why don't you drink it with Gu!"

He took out the soup bowl from Zhang Yun's tray, looked at the dark and even viscous soup inside, and said with a bitter face, "Brother Emperor, we are not sick, why should we drink this with you?" ? Although the two of us offended you, you shouldn't cheat us like this!"

Ever since he was a child, Li Yin had never taken a decoction. He once took a sip of the medicine his mother concubine drank out of curiosity.Now the shadow of childhood reappeared, just by smelling the taste, he felt that the delicacies he just ate were about to rebel.

Li Chengqian's face was also a little ugly, but he still pinched his nose, raised his head and drank the medicine.The more you fear Chinese medicine, the harder it will be to drink it. It's better to drink it. After drinking it, you only need to feel uncomfortable for a while.

Resisting the desire to vomit, Li Chengqian rinsed his mouth with tea, and said to Li Yin and Li You: "Don't be ignorant, this is a tonic prescribed by Daoist Sun, which is specially designed to replenish the essence. Gu Huan is only slightly damaged. Look at you. The appearance of the two of you must have hurt your roots. I know that you brought your concubines with you when you returned to Chang'an, remember, you two held me back during the time you lived in the East Palace."

The two of them, who originally thought the Eastern Palace court hall was cold, suddenly turned bitter faces.Originally, the two of them had discussed the exchange of concubines and it was cool, but now...

The meaning of the prince's brother, they still dare not disobey, they can only restrain their uncomfortable expressions.

But just after restraining themselves, seeing this bowl of medicine, the two of them were crying again.

"What? One has the guts to amass the dead, the other has the guts to beat the long history and local officials, and dare not even drink a small bowl of medicine? Hiccup! Um, um, cough cough, hoo..."

Glancing at the prince and brother, the two couldn't help but slander: You are so virtuous, you still have the face to criticize us?

However, if the prince and brother drank it, how could they be subdued?Looking at each other, Li Yin and Li You yelled, and also drank the medicine in his own bowl.

I drank it down, but in the next second, the two of them covered their mouths at the same time, and the medicine juice was already exposed at the corners of their mouths.

After hiccupping, Li Chengqian, who managed to suppress the smell of medicine, raised his legs, tried to calm himself down, and said, "It's agreed, if either of you vomits out first, go to the left and right to clean up the road and wait." Lead the mansion, sleep together with the lead soldiers!"

Hearing this, Li You and Li Yin all looked at each other.

At this time, it is no longer a matter of vomiting, as long as the other party spits out first, it is a victory for oneself.

But a strange thing happened, and after comparing, both of them held back.

Seeing the faces of the two gradually turn from red to calm, Li Chengqian also breathed a sigh of relief.If one of the two bastards vomited, he probably did too.

I don't know what this decoction is. Apart from being bitter, it also has a spicy taste, and even has a little bit of a bad smell in it.As for traditional Chinese medicine, the most taboo thing is to see what is in the medicine.If you know it, it will be even more unacceptable.

(Well, I have to take Chinese medicine containing two poisonous snakes every day....)

Seeing that both of them had calmed down, Li Chengqian got up and let them go out of the palace.After a while, it will be time for the palace gate to be locked. Li Chengqian, as the prince, has no room to refute such a rigid rule.

After driving the two of them away, Li Chengqian strolled around for a while, dispelling the last trace of nausea, and then returned to the main hall of Li.

He couldn't go to Yichun Palace, God knows how much perseverance he used that day to not give those two half-dressed women a Fa-rectification on the spot.

It can be imagined to be beautiful, but the reality is a head-on blow.Li Chengqian just entered the bedroom when he saw Xiuxiu holding a hot water basin.

"Your Highness, it's difficult for you to be a concubine. Why don't we take turns serving you in the Lizheng Hall?"

Sitting helplessly on the bed, enjoying Xiuxiu's foot washing and massage, Li Chengqian said helplessly, "It's not that it's hard to do, it's you two goblins who almost squeezed the orphan dry! Daoist Sun said that it's not good for my health." .Forget it, you can come and stay with Gu, Gu will hold you, and sleep soundly."

After wiping his feet clean, Li Chengqian hugged Xiuxiu and lay on the bed. He had no bad intentions, just a simple companionship.

Early the next morning, without anyone calling, Li Chengqian woke up, dressed neatly, and was ready to go out for exercise.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhang Yun.This bastard, no matter what time he gets up, he will appear in front of the door exactly.

"ate?"

"No, I know you are going to exercise in the morning, and the servant is also preparing to eat after the morning exercise."

Pointing to Fang Fang, Li Chengqian said: "Run around twice first, you go and get Li You and Li Min up, if they can't get up, throw them out of the hall with their buttocks naked, and leave the clothes to them .In addition, inform the relatives to gather all the staff, bring all the supplies, and let's go to Qinling."

Zhang Yun chuckled, cupped his hands and ran out.

To deal with lying in bed, gentle means will not work. Experience the feeling of being thrown out of the palace with bare buttocks. After several times, these two people either choose to sleep with clothes on, or they can only force themselves to change their biological clocks. There is no third choice. road selection.

Soon, when Li Chengqian ran around the East Palace for less than two laps, Zhang Yun brought Li You and Li Yin to him.The two brothers looked at Zhang Yun with extremely fierce eyes, and they couldn't afford to offend the prince, but this slave must find a chance to take revenge!

After the two of them also followed suit, Li Chengqian said: "Before the emperor allows you to return to the fief, your itinerary will be the same as that of Gu. Follow closely, you have to look good."

Running all the way from the East Palace to Chaotang, the two of them were already very tired, and they were about to die after just running for a while.Obviously ran to Chengtianmen again, but still moved forward, Li Yin couldn't help but said: "Emperor, Brother Huang, hehe, how long are we going to run!"

"Well, for the sake of your first run, just run four more laps with Gu."

"what?"

Li Yin just thought about stopping and not running, but suddenly felt a gasping sound that didn't sound like a human voice beside him.Turning his head, he saw a black hound running beside the two of them.

Ahead, Li Chengqian's voice drifted over: "Don't try to be lazy, if you two stop, the lonely dog ​​will bite you, if you don't believe me, just try."

"Ah!~"

With a scream, the two could only grit their teeth and run along.

Facts have proved that people's potential is enough, Li You and Li Yin managed to finish five laps.

When the two finally couldn't bear it and fell to the ground, eager to take out their lungs to wash, they found that the prince and brother ran to the right side of Chengtian Gate.Still... still running?Moreover, the speed is much faster than when running with them!

After a full ten circles, the two people who sat on the chairs sent by the eunuch managed to recover.However, apart from the sweat on his body, the prince and emperor brother didn't feel tired at all.

abnormal!

Looking at each other, Li Yin and Li You were full of despair for the days ahead.

"The warm-up is over, Li You, I heard that you are obsessed with martial arts? Come, try it with your brother in the martial arts arena."

Li You said again and again: "How dare the younger brother fight against the emperor?"

"Stop talking nonsense, come here quickly!"

Under Li Chengqian's urging, the two had no choice but to keep up.

Everything in the Donggong Martial Arts Field is still the same, even the wooden stakes used for sword training are still standing there.Every time he saw this wooden stake, Li Chengqian could clearly feel how much he had put into martial arts.

Walking to the weapon rack, he took out a simple armor and a no-edge sword, and threw a set to Li You.

Li You is not stupid either, imitating Li Chengqian's example, put on the armor and set up a posture.

"Well, Li Yin, you announce the start."

Seeing that he didn't need to play, Li Yin breathed a sigh of relief, raised his arms high, and then lowered them heavily: "Start!"

As soon as the word "beginning" was finished, Li You rushed forward, pointing forward with his long sword, with an air of indomitable spirit.

However, a shelf is a shelf!

Li Chengqian didn't even move, he just turned around to avoid it, and with a wave of his hand, he flew Li You's sword aside.The long sword fell and hit Li You's neck.

"If you want to use a sword, you must first learn how to hold it. Your move looks bluffing, but if you stretch your arms straight, it will be easy to let go of the sword when it is hit. If you put this on the battlefield, you don't know how to die. Although you don't Know who taught you, that person must be an idiot."

Li You's expression changed from shock to shame.

"Pick it up and come again."

...

"It still doesn't work. The sword is meant to kill with the edge and tip of the sword. You can't even control the direction of the sword. How can you kill? You can't even kill a chicken! Come again!"

...

"Why is it that the more you talk about it, the more you are going backwards? There is no reason for you to kill others and not you? Why do you not know how to hide? This sword can be avoided by an ordinary soldier."
