Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

If he can win it, when His Majesty returns to the palace to settle the matter, Xiao Man will not be able to escape the charge of discussing the royal family's internal affairs.

But if they can't win, it's hard to guarantee that those people will have some crooked ideas to get rid of Xiaoman, a key person, and cultivate new eyeliners.

The danger is beyond words!

Li Er gave Wynn face and agreed that Xiaoman would follow Li Chengqian, at least to save his life.

As for Xiaoman's position in the Palace Yusi and Yeting Bureau, he can only give up temporarily.

After Liu Jin thanked her, she left in a hurry and brought Li Er's words to Huai En.

Li Er took Li Chengqian and continued to stroll around the ruins of the Xuanzheng Palace.

"This is the last time I will see you before I leave. This time I will go to Mount Tai, and I will return within [-] days. During this period, I will take a good look at your performance."

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Father is at ease, I have a big killer in my hand, and I am not afraid of my uncle's threat for a long time, but there is no suitable person around my father, which makes my son a little worried."

Li Er patted him on the head lightly and scolded with a smile: "Don't worry about such a mess, without Huai En and Liu Jin, can I still starve to death?"

After finishing speaking, he sighed quietly, and said: "I took away all the stumbling blocks, and I also want to see what the city of Chang'an would be like without them."

Chapter 697

Zhenguan three years, the end of April!

Li Er led hundreds of civil and military officials, followed the guard of honor, together with Jin Wuwei and Xiaowei, a total of more than [-] people, left the city from Tonghuamen, all the way north, and the Fengchan chariot ride stretched for several miles!

The people of Chang'an City went up and down, kneeling to see off Li Er, and Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State, sent Li Er all the way to Tongguan, and turned back!

According to the memorial drafted by the Ministry of Rites, Li Erhui rushed to Mount Tai in eight days.

Fast for three days before enshrining Zen, worship the ancestors of the Li family on the day of enshrining Chan, and return to Chang'an in eight days.

For a full 20 days, there is no difference at all!

Chai Lingwu, as the general manager of the preparations for the enshrining of the Zen, followed the Prince Jian Guo to send His Majesty out of the city, watching the motorcade disappear in sight.

When he finally got rid of his errand, not only did he not heave a sigh of relief, but his expression became even more severe.

Changsun Wuji was standing right behind the prince, just one step away from Chai Lingwu.

Just when His Majesty left, he verbally granted Changsun Wuji the title of Inspector of Zhaozhou.

To them, a mere governor is not a high official.

But Zhaozhou is the hometown of Changsun Wuji.

Li Er's move is very thought-provoking.

Chai Lingwu knew that Li Er planned to use his old wisdom against Lu Shi.

If you want to let it die, you must make it crazy.

If Changsun Wuji was really suppressed by the prince and fled back to Zhaozhou in a fit of rage, then Li Er would be able to find a suitable reason and really use the "Law of Zhenguan" to deal with him!

For a while, Chai Lingwu was a little confused about what Li Er was thinking.

Didn't it mean that Changsun Wuji can't be touched, and he should be given a good death?

He quietly glanced at Changsun Wuji's face, it was a coincidence that he was meeting Changsun Wuji's gaze.

The two looked at each other, paused for a moment, and then smiled at the same time.

"I heard that Uncle Eldest Sun was ill a few days ago, which made my nephew very worried."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "At this age, it's rare for me not to get sick, but I didn't expect that during this period, your title will be downgraded by one level."

Chai Lingwu secretly scolded the old fox in his heart.

Wasn't it his fault that his title was lowered?

"My nephew is a rascal. He is quite content with guarding his own one-acre three-point land. Even if he becomes a viscount and baron, it's no big deal."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard, and said, "Young people should do more for the country. How can your Majesty forget you after you have made great contributions? The preparations for the Zen ceremony are well done. Presumably when His Majesty returns, rewards will be issued, and you will return to the position of Marquis sooner or later!"

Li Chengqian heard both of them clearly.

He turned around and clasped his fists at Changsun Wuji and Chai Lingwu.

"Before father left, he handed over the task of supervising the country to Chengqian. I also hope that my uncle and cousin will help me a lot!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Prince, you are being polite, the old minister should encourage you!"

Li Chengqian nodded, and glanced at the sparse people behind him.

Almost all the officials above the third grade in the court were taken away by Li Er.

Among the people with big cats and kittens left, Qing Yishui's red robe.

Apparently, they split into two factions.

A group of people stood behind Changsun Wuji, and another group, headed by Han Tong, stood behind Chai Lingwu.

Seeing the Prince Jian Guo looking over, everyone was shocked.

Li Chengqian said to Xiaoman beside him: "Go back to the palace for now, all the ministers will enter the Wude Hall to wait for the imperial edict!"

It was the first time for Xiao Man to follow Li Chengqian, he seemed a little nervous, cleared his throat, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Prince Supervisor Order, all ministers and workers will accompany you back to the palace, and enter the Hall of Martial Virtue to wait for the edict!"

The Hall of Wude is located in the central palace of the imperial palace, adjacent to the Hall of Taiji.

It is far away from Zichen Palace, the daily residence of Li Er and Empress Changsun.

On the west side of Wude Hall is Li Chengqian's East Palace.

During the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Yong, the prince of Emperor Wen, lived in Wude Hall after he was deposed.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Wude Hall became Li Yuanji's bedroom.

You know, Li Yuanji held the power of soldiers and horses back then, was deeply trusted by the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and commanded the six ministries with one hand, and his status was probably higher than that of Li Er back then.

The importance of this palace cannot be overstated.

In the side hall of Wude Hall, a group of people in red robes sat in a circle, and all the people who came and went were familiar faces.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes and rested his mind, while Chai Lingwu sat on the left side, gently turning the finger on his thumb.

Han Tong sat on the right, frowning.

Three days ago, Di Zhixun, who had been promoted to be the minister of punishment, stood in the middle of the side hall.

All other people's gazes were focused on Di Zhixun.

Both Han Tong and Di Zhixun were born as magistrates of Jingyang County, and they can be said to be Li Chengqian's right-hand man.

The big shots are gone, so they naturally become the pillars.

The rest of them were either old disciples of Fang Xuanling and the others, or they were hardcore princelings.

However, a few people in green robes seemed out of place.

They didn't have seats, but they stood very close to Li Chengqian.

The leader is Li Yifu!

Those below the sixth rank wore green robes. Among them, Li Yanshou and Lai Ji, who had the highest official positions, only served as imperial censors from the palace of the seventh rank.

It was very quiet in the side hall, and no one dared to take a breath.

Li Chengqian suddenly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "Is this about to start?"

Di Zhixun bowed and said: "His Royal Highness, the case of investigating the corruption of ink in Hedong has already been submitted to the three provinces submitted by Yushitai. Today, the Wude Hall is waiting for an edict to discuss. The eldest grandson Pushe will definitely take the opportunity to bring it up!"

The area around Hedong Road and Hebei Road is almost all the territory of powerful and noble families.

Even if the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are overwhelmed, the other clans should not be underestimated.

In the past years, countless ink corruption cases have been sent, and even Li Er would choose to turn a blind eye.

If there is a tacit agreement, the three provinces will suppress the case and keep it unpublished.

The local situation is too complicated, if one person is dealt with, even one person will die.

Everyone can tell which is more important than a few silver coins and the safety of the local people.

As soon as Changsun Wuji came up, he posed a big problem for Li Chengqian.

If the case of corruption of ink in Hedong is not dealt with, the prince will have no prestige, but if the case of corruption of ink in Hedong is dealt with, Changsun Wuji will definitely take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames and implicate all the powerful people in Hedong.

At that time, Li Chengqian will offend the Hedong Clan!

"Who can come up with a charter?"

Li Chengqian glanced around, this time, everyone lowered their heads.

Han Tong said softly: "His Royal Highness, it is better to delay this case, and simply return to the court within [-] days."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Chengqian.

"No! Countless pairs of eyes staring up and down, how can this crown prince be cowardly?"

He looked at Li Yifu and others who were standing aside.

But he was surprised to find that this group of people were shoving and shoving each other with playful faces, especially Shangguanyi, who kept poking Zhang Jianzhi's waist and eyes with the wat board used in court.

Li Chengqian's face turned dark instantly.

These guys are too shameless.

It was the first time I was alone, and they actually started playing?

He cleared his throat, "General Zhang Meng, what do you think?"

Chapter 698 These guys forgot to take their medicine before going out today?

Zhang Jianzhi glared at Shangguanyi, then straightened his robes, walked to the middle of the side hall, and stood beside Di Zhixun.

"Prince Qi Zuo, I do have a good plan to solve the case of corruption in Hedong ink!"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up.

He and this group of college students are already very familiar.

Although he was relatively close to Li Yifu, he was used to joking with Zhang Jianzhi, Ma Zhou, Shangguanyi and others.

Only those who are close to them know how terrifying these guys are.

As someone said, if this group of guys ran out of the academy all of a sudden, entered the court, or served as the staff of the big shots, it would definitely be a more terrifying thing than a military disaster!

Li Er was also worried about this, so he made an exception and promised them official positions before they graduated, so as to lock them up firmly.

He and Liu Bai were able to leave in peace because Zhang Jianzhi and the others helped Li Chengqian.

"tell me the story!"

Zhang Jianzhi smiled.

He was originally handsome and tall, but this smile unconsciously made people feel that he was a young man with a bright personality and a generous attitude towards others.

But what he said next almost scared everyone present to death!

"Not only do we need to investigate, but we also need to conduct a thorough investigation! If you are greedy for a penny, you will chop off one hand, and if you are greedy for two pennies, you will chop off two hands!"

Before Zhang Jianzhi finished speaking, two self-proclaimed veterans jumped out and pointed at his nose and cursed.

"Huangkou boy! Hedong Road is the foundation of our Great Tang, how can you allow you to do anything wrong?

Zhang Jianzhi rolled his eyes, "Can someone please finish the sentence?"

The two old guys were so choked by him, their old faces flushed, obviously very angry.

Zhang Jianzhi chuckled.

"His Royal Highness, in the eyes of others, Changsun Wuji has created a huge problem for you, but this may not be a huge opportunity for you to make great achievements!

Li Chengqian did not speak.

This group of members of the editorial committee of Zhizhi writes articles all day long, and they like to make some twists and turns.

The simple truth will become obscure after they explain it.

Knowing that Zhang Jianzhi still had more to say, he waved his hand to let the two old guys go down, and waited for Zhang Jianzhi to continue.

Zhang Jianzhi gave Li Chengqian a reassuring look, and then bowed to Di Zhixun.
