Don't be a prince

Tang Shanzhi, who was the second to enter the door, hurriedly pulled Chang Le out, and Chang Sun Chong outside the door also sent Yu Zhang to leave first.

The women left the scene, and now the study in the East Palace has completely become the domain of men.

Changsun Chong still had that decadent look. Ever since Xue Yantuo was not allowed to set off during the battle, he had already had this look.

Tang Shanzhi was quite normal, he cupped his hands as soon as he entered the door and said, "His Royal Highness, you asked us to bring money, but you want to gamble? This is not good, it is still in the funeral period of the Supreme Emperor, if you do this, you will be attacked by the officials of."

Glancing at Tang Shanzhi, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Attack? Why do they attack? The so-called gambling is actually a form of entertainment. When we use gambling to do business, gambling is not gambling anymore." , It’s just a way to do business. Besides, the censor Yanguan, if you want to attack Gu, you have to have the guts. Don’t worry, there is naturally Gu’s insurance in the court.”

The so-called insurance, of course, is Fang Xuanling.Li Chengqian believed that this old guy definitely knew what he was going to do this time. With him blocking the hall, let alone raindrops, if there was a little wind leaking through, it would be because the sun came out from the west.

Knocking on the table, Li Chengqian said seriously: "Let's not talk about that, this time I called you here to help Fang Yiai. We are all brothers. Brothers are in trouble. You two can't just leave them alone!"

Chang Sun Chong said: "That's natural, but what are you going to do?"

Li Chengqian walked out of the desk, held the three of them by the shoulders and conspired, "Do you know anything about Xue Wanche and Princess Danyang?"

All three nodded.

"Let's also learn from our father and those son-in-laws, but we need to change it. Later, Tang Shanshi, Changsun Chong, you two are playing tricks on your daughter-in-law, let's do this... "

Not long after, there was a sinister laughter in the study...

In this way, Changsun Chong and Tang Shanshi lived in the East Palace.The East Palace naturally has no shortage of places for them to live. Since Li Chengqian entered Shangshu Province, not to mention the south of Hengjie, many buildings in the East Palace have lost their original functions.

Therefore, when Li Chengqian ordered Du Ruhui and Yang Shidao to rest for a while, they started the journey of mahjong.

As the saying goes, "one billion people and nine hundred million mahjong", mahjong can kill the Quartet even if there is no shortage of entertainment methods in later generations, let alone the Tang Dynasty.Nowadays, regardless of the princes above the court, when discussing matters, they all look upright and strict. In fact, there are many mahjong masters among them.

As the dandy generation in Chang'an, it is impossible for Chang Sun Chong and others not to know it. Therefore, Yiqiu Palace is not only a temporary residence for Fang Yiai and Gao Yang, but also a mahjong room.It is common for the four of them to fight until the third watch.

Among the expressive techniques of the article, there is a kind called wanting to promote before suppressing. Applying this method when doing things can also achieve good results.

Of course Fang Xuanling was not stupid, the gambling capital he brought to his son was terrifying, a full box of gold, two boxes of silver, and five boxes of copper coins, all of which were of the highest value.

With so much money, even if they lose, it will take Fang Yiai a few days to lose.

When Fang Yiai only had the last box of copper coins left, even Gao Yang, who was watching the battle, was speechless.

This has to be a lot of memorization in order to keep losing?If it hadn't been for her inappropriateness to go to the table, she would have long wanted to kick this useless scumbag down, and instead go up to kill the Quartet.

When Fang Yiai slapped a big one for a few days and happily collected the money, Gao Yang on the side finally couldn't help saying: "Why are you so happy, let's see how much you have lost!"

Thinking of the prince's order, Fang Yiai said without hesitation: "Shut up, how can you sing against your husband?"

Gao Yang was about to refute, and Chang Le, who was watching the battle, answered, "That's right, Gao Yang, let me see that Fang Yiai lost so badly because you were on the side. Fang Yiai, don't be discouraged!"

Tang Shanshi, who was drawing cards, glanced sideways at Chang Le and said, "How can anyone cheer up other people's husbands? They don't obey women's morals! Hurry up, and bring me a cup of tea!"

Chang Le let out an oh, and turned to serve the water.

Li Chengqian glanced at Su Yuan, and said, "Gu is thirsty too, go, bring water to Gu!"

Su Yuan agreed, handed the child to Ashina Xue to hold, and chased after Changle.

Changsun Chong was even more aggressive, but after saying "Hi", Yuzhang got up and followed.

Fang Yiai opened her card, glanced at it, and gave Gao Yang a push without hesitation: "Go, go, fetch water with the Queen's Wife and the others, don't sit next to me, look at this card, Thirteen Yaos are all Some are fooled!"

"Your own card luck is bad, what is Lai Madam doing!"

Although angry, Gao Yang could only get up and leave.These days, she has also noticed something is wrong, it seems that Fang Yiai's rare wins are when she is not around.However, how did she know that the four people on the gambling table, except for the few rounds after the beginning of the day, were purely playing, and the rest of the time, they were basically in the same code.

When it comes to playing cards, what's the point of looking at it honestly, so basically everyone has their own habit at the gaming table.It is really normal for the right hand to turn the cards around, or to touch them to make some noise.This one is addictive once you try it.But as everyone knows, the secret code is in this normal movement.

The water was brought soon, and Gao Yang stood behind Li Chengqian angrily, staring at Fang Yiai.

Playing a piece of five cakes, Fang Yiai naturally picked up the card on the right and spun it around.

Chang Sun Chong looked at his cards, and saw that there was no cake, so he played a card and played it out.

It was Li Chengqian's turn, and after touching a piece of nine cakes in his hand, Li Chengqian suddenly laughed strangely.

Gao Yang was surprised immediately, he patted the crown prince's brother on the shoulder and said: "Isn't this called Hu, you just need to type out a random picture of those two."

Li Chengqian nodded, and punched out the cake without hesitation.

On the opposite side, Fang Yiai burst out laughing, pushed her own card, and said arrogantly to Gao Yang: "You still don't believe me if you say you can't do it, have you seen it, Shisanyao, the crown prince and the emperor's brother, it's a bad luck ah!"

Although Li Chengqian was funny, he turned his head back to Gao Yang and said solemnly: "Well, Gao Yang, your brother and I are also losing money, or you should go to Fang Yiai's side."

Seeing that Fang Yiai's cards were not fake, and seeing Brother Huang's embarrassed expression, Gao Yang was about to burst into tears.

Clenching his fists, Gao Yang walked elsewhere without hesitation and sat down.

In the next few rounds, Fang Yiai laughed wildly and yelled "Fuck".

There are "facts" to prove that Gao Yang is even more uncomfortable.Obviously, when I played cards by myself, it didn't smell so bad!

4 Chapter Fifty

Although she couldn't see it, Fang Yiai could guess Gao Yang's reaction without eyes now.Feeling refreshed, he started playing cards unscrupulously. As a result...

Seeing the cards that Chang Sun Chong and the prince pushed down together, Fang Yiai let out a silent scream.On the other hand, Zhang Yun secretly wrote down a few notes in the notebook in his arms.You can do nonsense, but you still have to collect money.What Zhang Yun has in his hands is the secret account of the game. After the matter is known, he needs to calculate it separately.

The four people in the hall are still making their own bets.Because they have been immersed in gambling these days, everyone is like a savage, with long beard stubble, if Li Chengqian didn't threaten anyone who would throw them out without taking a shower, it is estimated that this mahjong game would not be able to continue.

Just like the four of Li Chengqian who were gambling in full swing, the court is now full of quarrels.

During the mourning period of the Supreme Emperor, the memorial of impeaching the crown prince, gathering people to gamble, and shelving the government, flew to Zhongshu Province like snowflakes, but Fang Xuanling threw them into the furnace where the memorials were burned by Fang Xuanling. It was not sent to the emperor.

This problem is bad because of the material of Donggong Mahjong. The material of jade is not wood or reinforced plastic. In order to control the weight, it is made very thin, and it is easy to break under strong force.When the substitute jade tablet was broken into more than a dozen pieces, Li Chengqian finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Zhang Yun to make a pair of wooden ones from the supervisor.

The general is not the East Palace, so naturally he can't be watertight. The crown prince hides in the East Palace, and he also called three son-in-laws, combined with a set of mahjong, no matter how stupid a person is, he can guess what's going on.

Gathering people to gamble during a great funeral is a great disloyalty; committing a crime together with a son-in-law and imprisoning three son-in-laws for a felony is a great injustice; abandoning the mission of Shang Shusheng is a great disloyalty!

Unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial, so what if the opponent is the invincible prince?The censors felt that it was absolutely necessary for them to risk their lives to warn the prince that you have not become the emperor yet!Even if you become the emperor, you can't do whatever you want!

Unlike Xue Wanche's time, Fang Xuanling felt that his old face needed to be maintained, so even if he knew what the four princes were doing, he pretended not to know.

Fang Xuanling's protection, naturally...

It won't work!

Because of Wei Zheng's good start, the officials and censors of the Tang Dynasty are all people who stand up for justice. As early as when they became this official, they wrote a suicide note, and specially got together to find out which pillar was the most auspicious to be killed. .Fang Xuanling's protection made them completely explode!

It was the day, obviously it was a small court meeting, but almost all the censor officials came to the court, and everyone was holding their own memorials, ready to show them to the emperor in court.

It is naturally against the rules to do so, but if the matter develops to the point where it is up to the court, it will be regarded as tearing one's face.

After going to court, Li Shimin, the emperor, also felt a headache when he saw the aggressive censors below.At the beginning, in order to contain all the officials in the court and make them clean and honest, he pushed the censor's official, which made all the officials talk about it.With so many censors assembled, even he has to stay away!

Sitting down on the dragon chair, Li Shimin said: "Fang Qing, if you have a book today, you can play it, and if you don't have a book, you will retreat!"

This is an inherent part of a routine court meeting. Normally, in such a situation, as long as Fang Xuanling came out to confirm that there was nothing serious, everyone would disperse and go about their business.

However, today is different.

Fang Xuanling just stood up, and before he could speak, the leader of the Censor Yanguan group stood up.

"Your Majesty, my minister, Lu Xue, has this memorandum! My minister's impeachment order, Fang Xuanling, was lawless and intercepted my memorial to His Majesty without authorization. How is Fang Xuanling's actions different from covering the sky with one hand? In the position of Zhongshu Ling, he did not think of serving the country diligently, but flattered the crown prince and prayed for protection. Such a wolfish and ambitious person, I am ashamed to be a minister with him! Today, I am asking your majesty to punish Fang Xuanling for punishment. Zhengchao Gang!"

After the leader Lu Xuecai finished speaking, all the censors who came to the court immediately walked out of the team, placed the memorial in front of him, and knelt down on the ground.

Fang Xuanling's beard blew up, and he said angrily: "It's nonsense! It's nonsense! When did the old man flatter the prince?"

Before Lu Xue went out, he had already moved his family away, and without any fear, he raised his upper body without hesitation and said, "Fang Xuanling! I used to think that you were a virtuous prime minister, so I did it when I didn't expect you to do it. Still not admitting it. Well, let me ask you, why can’t the prince be impeached for gathering people to gamble in the Eastern Palace? Why didn’t any of the memorials I waited for was sent back by His Majesty? It is clear that you, the Secretary of State, did not submit it to His Majesty! "

Although they knew that this matter had nothing to do with the emperor, Lu Xue, including everyone, knew that the emperor could not be wrong, so they could only completely point the finger at Fang Xuanling.Anyway, Fang Xuanling was big enough, and he could even protect the emperor behind him when facing the scapegoat.

"It's nonsense! Why did I hand over those memorials to His Majesty? They are all speculative speculations and have not been verified on the spot. So what about a pair of mahjong? There are many things moving in and out at the back door of the East Palace every day. What's more, Prince, old man I met you two days ago, the prince is seriously ill now, why would you care about playing mahjong? It's ridiculous! If you don't believe me, you can ask His Majesty!"

"Ah, this."

Li Shimin closed his big mouth and said seriously: "That's true. The crown prince is seriously ill. I asked Chang Sun Chong and others to enter the East Palace just to make him feel better. I'm not afraid that the news of the crown prince's illness will spread." Going out will cause unreasonable panic, so I didn't say anything. So..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, everyone watched as Li Jian, the personal eunuch standing behind the emperor, turned around and left...

gone....

Undoubtedly, this is reporting to the East Palace. Even if the Chaotang fights for a "investigation of the East Palace", so what?All the evidence from the prince has disappeared, so why not check it!

Although it was expected that the emperor and Fang Xuanling were together, no one expected that the emperor would protect Fang Xuanling to such an extent.Then I, Lu Xue, what is it?Now that I have accumulated enough prestige and political achievements, I only need one opportunity to be promoted. Do I want to watch this opportunity slip away?I'm going all out to scold the prince, and I won't let me get what I want?

Seeing that Lu Xue wanted to stand up and say something, Du Ruhui, who was specially called by Fang Xuanling today, stood up and said: "Let's stop here for the impeachment. I will also testify for the Prime Minister. The crown prince is indeed ill. You impeached him." The memorial is simply nonsense."

Not just Du Ruhui, Yang Shidao, Changsun Wuji... In the end, even Wei Zheng sighed and stood up to testify for Fang Xuanling.It has to be said that the face that Fang Xuanling has accumulated over the years is still very valuable, even enough to make Wei Zheng open his eyes and tell nonsense to help.

Seeing that all the bigwigs in the court stood up one by one, and none of them were absent, the censors were shocked!

This, how to fight against this?There is no way to fight against it!

Even if all of their censors are extremely bold, they have to weigh whether it is worth it in a battle that must be lost!

Obviously, right now, the fight cannot go on!

Seeing the censors began to pick up the memorials one by one, put them in their arms and kept silent, Fang Xuanling's heart was about to break.

Damn it, the face that has been accumulated for so many years, once it is used up now, it will have an effect next time, I don't know when it will be!

The princess consort was at odds with each other, and even Princess Hongxing cheated, and the Fang family would lose face.However, for the sake of the previous face, he also "lost" face.Thinking about it now, why do you think it's a bit worthless?

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, was surprised by Fang Xuanling's influence in the court, but when he saw his expression as if he had eaten a bowel movement, he immediately felt relieved.This "face" consumes even Fang Xuanling's pain!Because this face does not know how many political compromises and interest exchanges it will take to get it back.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but Longyan was delighted, turned to another eunuch and said: "Go, tell the prince, I will handle Gao Yang's matter as he pleases, as long as Qianjin and Yongjia are not killed!"

The young eunuch nodded, turned and left.

The silent confrontation with a bleak ending still needs a step for everyone to climb down.Therefore, Fang Xuanling coughed a few times, casually found a small matter that had already been dealt with, and brought it up for discussion at the court meeting.Everyone tacitly started all kinds of wild discussions about a simple question...

"Three!"

"No."

Although he said no, Li Chengqian gently flipped the card down for the three of them to see, and then told Fang Shan to write it down, and Chang Sun rushed to light the cannon once.

Naturally, Li Chengqian didn't know what happened in the court, and he didn't know that Fang Xuanling even had to pay for "face" because of his coquettish manipulation.At this moment, only half of his mind was on the poker game, and the other half was on Zhang Yun.To be precise, it was the eunuchs belonging to the Zongzheng Mansion under the leadership of Zhang Yun.

The eunuchs in the Zongzheng Mansion were actually selected and sent to the palace.Being able to enter the Zongzheng Mansion, although there is no rank, it is equivalent to climbing to the top of today's eunuchs.These killers were eunuchs in charge of execution when they were in the palace, and they were recommended to enter the Zongzheng Mansion because of their superb methods.

Bringing these people to Princess Gaoyang's mansion is naturally not for loitering, because Li Chengqian just received the news from the hidden guards that Princess Qianjin and Princess Yongjia are going to visit their niece together again today, to comfort her not to be too horny, to "chase happiness" It is right.

When a majestic princess travels, it is natural to have airs. Pedestrians on the street saw the two princesses' team from a distance, and retreated to the side one after another, hissing coldly.

Zhang Yun was standing at the gate of Princess Gaoyang's mansion, watching the two princesses' procession slowly approaching from the street.When we got closer, we realized that the two princesses' ostentation, or rather, their hobbies were not ordinary.

When other princesses go out, they are accompanied by maids of honor. When they arrive at their place, they are replaced by Miaoling youths with red lips and white teeth.

Surrounded by a crowd of beauties, the two fragrant cars stopped in front of Princess Gaoyang's mansion.

The moment the carriage stopped, no matter how much Zhang Yun could bear it, he couldn't help covering his nose with his sleeve.This is a really fragrant car. The smell of the perfume can kill people. Didn’t you see that the top of the carriage was covered with bees and flies?Although there is no limit to the supply of perfume in the auction house to the royal family, it still costs money to buy it.Now it seems that the annual salaries of the two princesses are not enough for them to squander!

A man who looked like a steward of the Princess Mansion came over, glanced at Zhang Yun, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Lao Zhang, the steward of the Qianjin Princess Mansion, pays his respects to the servant. I don't know why he is here as the chief steward of the East Palace? But what advice do you have? "

The butler, you have to rely on your brain and eyes for food.As the most famous eunuch in the Eastern Palace, Zhang Yun was naturally at the top of Chang'an's list of slaves not to be messed with because his master was the crown prince.

Zhang Yun nodded, took a look at the list, and said, "The miscellaneous family didn't come here today for anything else. Tell the two princesses that there is a prince teaching here today. Why don't you hurry into the mansion and come out to receive the teaching?"

"Prince teach?"

Because this thing appeared so rarely, the housekeeper, Lao Zhang, almost didn't even remember what it was for a while.

The imperial decree of the emperor, the decree of the empress, and the teaching of the prince, these are the official written orders of the three highest ranking members of the royal family.Needless to say, the imperial decree of the emperor is absolute, and no one dares to violate it.The same is true for the empress's edicts. Moreover, with the temper of the empress today, even if an edict is issued, it is issued under the emperor's behest.

As for the Prince's Prince's Religion, hasn't this thing always been an addition to the imperial decree?For example, there was a catastrophe somewhere, and after imperial decrees were issued one after another, the Prince Sect naturally followed.

However, there is no imperial decree or Yi decree now, so the Prince Sect just appeared!

Although shocked, the authority of the Prince's Sect is there after all, and cannot be neglected.Therefore, the housekeeper, Lao Zhang, hurriedly called the coachman to drive the car directly into the princess mansion, ready to meet the prince.

Princess Qianjin and Princess Yongjia in the carriage didn't know what happened, they pulled the curtains to yell and curse, but they couldn't help calm down when they heard the name "Prince Teaching".

No way, the prince taught this thing, not just one of the three highest command documents in the entire Tang Dynasty.Combined with the strength of the current prince, the prince alone is enough to give this prince's religion a layer of gold.

The carriage drove into the princess mansion, and the two princesses, who had already gained a little bit of weight, were helped out of the carriage and made a squatting salute with difficulty.As elders, they don't have to kneel when they greet the Prince's teaching.

Naturally, Zhang Yun didn't care. He waved his hand to let the execution eunuchs of the Zongzheng Mansion disperse, and more than 200 soldiers led by him also surrounded the place.

After finishing all this, he opened the Prince's School: "Prince's School, Princess Yongjia and Princess Qianjin will take over..."

Chapter 451 I Can't Negotiate Sometimes
