Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Gao Luxing actually wanted to ask this question as well, but when he saw how calm Changsun Wuji was, he didn't ask it because Chu Suiliang got there first.

He and Changsun Wuji had the same expression. He believed that if there were any changes, Changsun Wuji would remind him out of affection for him as his father.

So I didn't say anything and chose to watch.

Chu Suiliang was a little anxious:

"Duke Zhao, you should also know that the three kings were severely punished not long ago. The King of Wei and the King of Jin were injured by His Majesty one after another.

Not only was he confined for several months, he was also forced to serve as a clerk for several years. I heard that King Ji was fined nine years' salary.

This is enough to show how angry His Majesty is.

But I haven't heard of any actions by these three princes recently.

Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be punished for no reason like the three kings?

Will the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be affected?"

It was impossible for Chu Suiliang not to be anxious. Among the three, he was the most useless one, with no background and no connections.

One of them is a cousin and the other is a brother, both of them are royal relatives, and it will not affect them no matter who becomes emperor.

He can't do it on his own, he has to rely on others.

"Haha, Mr. Chu, don't worry. How do you know that the three kings did nothing?" Changsun Wuji laughed.

"What do you mean, Duke Zhao?" Chu Suiliang felt that there was something else behind Zhangsun Wuji's words.

“What I am saying is that these three kings were punished because one of them must have angered Your Majesty, but it is just Your Majesty’s family affair.

As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, perhaps he is different from the three kings.

Now that the Crown Prince's position is secure and Your Majesty is a wise ruler, how could you shake the foundation of the country at this time?

So you can rest assured. We will know the result tomorrow when we see whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will attend the court."

Changsun Wuji was very calm and comforted the anxious Chu Suiliang.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was so calm, Chu Suiliang also felt relieved and stood up and bowed to Changsun Wuji.

"Thank you, Duke Zhao, for clearing up my doubts. If you have anything to ask in the future, please let me know. I will follow your lead."

Chu Suiliang showed his loyalty. He needed Zhangsun Wuji's support to gain a foothold in the court and rise rapidly.

However, this time, Changsun Wuji was not as polite to him as before, but his expression was very calm.

Or rather, there is a hint of indifference.

Zhang Sun Wuji did not raise his head, but only glanced upward at Chu Suiliang, then looked away.

He picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea and said calmly:

“Mr. Chu’s words are surprising. I will pretend that I have not heard what you said today, and please do not mention it again in the future.

You and I are both subjects, how can you follow the orders of an old man? What does this mean?

Are you trying to make me unfaithful and unjust?"

"Duke Zhao, I dare not. I am not..." Chu Suiliang hurried to explain.

"Okay." Changsun Wuji interrupted, "I know what you mean, but you have to remember that we are all officials appointed by the court, and we are subjects.

A subject should be loyal to Your Majesty, and in the future he should also be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

We should do our best to assist the Crown Prince, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people of this world.

Not for me, you understand?"

Zhang Sun Wuji handed the cup filled with tea to Chu Suiliang.

"I understand, I understand. I understand everything." Chu Suiliang looked at Changsun Wuji's eyes and subconsciously went to take the teacup.

The look in Zhao Guogong's eyes just now frightened him. It was cold and emotionless.

Even though the tea spilled and scalded his hand, Chu Suiliang didn't dare to make a sound or move his hand.

Seeing Chu Suiliang's look, Changsun Wuji smiled amiably:

"Haha, Mr. Chu is a smart man, he will definitely be important in the future.

However, you and I are friends of gentlemen. You should be careful in the future and not have too close contact with us. This will be good for Mr. Chu.

As for the Crown Prince's matter, we will know the answer tomorrow, so don't worry, Mr. Chu."

After saying this, Changsun Wuji continued to drink tea.

"Haha, yes, Lord Chu, don't worry. You will know tomorrow when you see whether the prince will attend the court or not, right?

Drink tea, drink tea." Gao Luxing, who had been watching coldly, laughed and consoled.

Chu Suiliang drank the tea in his hand, put it on the seat, and bowed to Changsun Wuji:

"Thank you, Duke Zhao, for your advice. I will keep it in mind. I still have official business to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he bowed to Gao Luxing again, turned around and walked out.

Gao Luxing stood up to return the greeting, watched Chu Suiliang leave, and then sat down again.

"Assistant, is this really as you said?"

There was no one around, so Gao Luxing asked. They were cousins, so they called each other's names in private.

"What thing?" Changsun Wuji was stunned.

"It's about the Crown Prince. Are you aware of this? And what happened to Chu Suiliang just now..."

Gao Xingfa has a hidden meaning.

“I don’t know the details of the prince’s incident, but…someone saw the prince go to Prince Ji’s mansion after noon yesterday.

But no one saw the prince return to the palace."

"The prince has left the palace? And went to Prince Ji's Mansion?" Gao Luxing was a little surprised when he heard Changsun Wuji's words.

"Yes, even though the prince brought very few guards and did not clear the streets, he was still seen."

Changsun Wuji nodded calmly. As the prime minister, he would be aware of any slight changes.

“You and I both know that the Crown Prince rarely leaves the palace, and isn’t it rumored that there is some discord between the Crown Prince and Prince Ji?

The two of them fought fiercely. I saw it with my own eyes. The prince beat Prince Ji severely. "

When Li Shen and Li Chengqian were fighting, Gao Luxing was also present. He saw Li Shen being severely beaten by Li Chengqian.

"Ha! You believe this?" Changsun Wuji sneered.

"Huh? Could this be fake?" Gao Luxing was a little surprised.

"Of course it's fake. If you don't know the Crown Prince, don't you know Prince Ji?

Prince Ji is arrogant and domineering, and he bullies others by taking advantage of his power. It is because he relies on the favor of Your Majesty that he dares to be so spoiled.

This little prince is no simple person. He is insidious, cunning, scheming, but also meticulous.

In order to please His Majesty, he spent a huge amount of money, donated millions and millions, built cities, and repaired roads, and even used up all the assets of Prince Ji's Mansion.

I have done so much just to get your Majesty's blessing.

How could a Prince Ji like this be at odds with the next emperor?"

Changsun Wuji had long seen through Li Shen and his gang's tricks, which were child's play for him.

How could they not know that Prince Ji and the Crown Prince were wearing the same pants? The two children were acting, thinking that the adults didn't know.

Changsun Wuji believed that almost all officials above the third rank in the court knew about it.

"Is that so? I was wondering if Prince Ji and the Crown Prince had such a close relationship, how come they suddenly started fighting?

But what is their purpose in doing this? Just to make everyone think that they are incompatible? "

Gao Luxing still couldn't figure it out.

Chang Sun Wuji did smile softly:

"In order to allow the Crown Prince to return with a legitimate reason and without losing face, and also to allow Prince Ji to complete the task assigned to him by His Majesty, the incompatibility is just a side effect."

(Note: The third-rank officials in the Zhenguan period included not only the heads of the three provinces, but also the ministers of the six ministries, and their ranks were the same.

Also, who is older, Gao Luxing or Zhangsun Wuji? I haven't found out, please analyze it.)
