Xu Zhe was not there, Li Yuanji occupied his room and the soft couch in the room, and even the palace servants who served him stood behind Li Yuanji at this time, allowing him to pick and order.

The prince didn't come back for dinner, because no one dared to neglect Xu Zhe's words yesterday, and the food he ate was still the same as before.

Li Yuanji picked out a few pieces of meat to feed the cat. The little wild cat had been wandering for a long time and devoured it. Looking at it, Li Yuanji's appetite was also aroused.

Just when Li Yuanji and the cat were in high spirits, an eunuch came to report, "Mr. Xinxin, Taoist Qin Ying is asking to see you. Look at this..."

Taoist priest?Could it be that he wanted to take this lonely ghost back to the underworld?

Li Yuanji didn't have a satisfactory memory and didn't know who Qin Ying was, so he put down his chopsticks and gave the eunuch a look, the eunuch who informed him really misunderstood and started talking about Qin Ying.

Qin Ying is a Taoist priest of Xihua Temple in Xijing, together with Wei Lingfu, a Taoist priest of Shengguan, and Zhu Lingfu, a Taoist priest who has returned to secular life, are deeply favored by the prince.Zhangfu is often used as a sacrificial offering to set up a table for worship, and an amnesty order is issued to order the East Palace, and Li Chengqian has given many ideas.

Li Chengqian slept with Xinxin at night, played with eunuchs during the day, and then gave orders through Taoist priests, so the prince Taifu, Zuo Shuzi and others found him so unpleasant, thinking that there were too many villains around him.

Qin Ying waited outside, with a calm expression on his face, but in reality he was extremely anxious.

In this dynasty, there was a monk named Chen Falin who became a monk when he was young. He had a wide range of friends and read a lot of books. During the Sui Dynasty, he studied Taoist classics and later transferred to Buddhism.There was a man named Liu Jinxi who did not believe in Buddhism and wrote several books saying that Buddhism was all nonsense. Chen Falin wrote "Debates on Righteousness" to refute it.

Later, Li Shimin took Taoist Li Er as his ancestor and carried forward Taoism. Qin Ying said that Chen Falin's "Debates on Zhengzheng" "slandered the emperor". , Chen Falin died on the way to exile.

This is what happened in the last few days.

The highly respected Chen Falin died. Many people realized that Qin Ying was a villain, and many ministers impeached him.

Qin Ying was very panicked, and heard that the emperor sent someone to bestow death on Xin Xin, so she was very worried that if Xin Xin died, she would be the next one.

In the end, Xinxin was protected by the crown prince, not only lived a good life, but also had an honor beyond the past.He breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that the crown prince seemed to have forgotten him and hadn't summoned him for several days.

Qin Ying is just a Taoist priest, and there was a delay in getting the information from the court, so I really don't know what the situation is now.He specially took advantage of the prince's absence to find out about it.

If the situation is really bad, you can only sneak away quickly to save your life.

The eunuchs in the East Palace didn't know much. Li Yuanji analyzed the relationship and decided to meet Qin Ying.Anyway, he won't be taken away by him, maybe he can help the eldest brother.

Li Yuanji said: "Let him in."

The little eunuch who sent the message was trembling, and his heart was strange. When did Mr. Xinxin have such a strong aura?It is also slightly inferior to His Royal Highness, not at all like the gentle and shy Le Tong before.

Qin Ying was ushered in, and laughed when she saw Li Yuanji, "It seems that you are doing well."

Li Yuanji also laughed, "Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's love and care, I can live on if I am satisfied, and meet the Taoist priest."

Wei Zheng is a very rational and sober person, but he was a little confused by Li Shimin recently.

First, he was called to miss King Xi for a long time, and then he found that Li Shimin had changed a lot overnight, and even a courtier like him who often gets along with him couldn't see clearly.At this time, he could still tell himself that Li Shimin was mad at the eldest son.

Wei Zheng also has a son, if his son was still acting unruly in his twenties, he would have been dealt with by the family law a long time ago.Li Shimin's son is the crown prince, so it's really troublesome to educate him. At this age, he can't be beaten or scolded. No matter how he teaches, it's a mistake.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengqian made a statement in the court that he did not want to be the prince. Wei Zheng followed Li Shimin's thoughts and temporarily fooled him.

He had expected that such an old official would be called to a meeting. This time Li Shimin could no longer treat the prince with a fatherly heart, so he had to send someone to control him.After receiving the notice that His Majesty had an invitation, Wei Zheng rushed to the Tai Chi Hall very quickly.

It's really strange that His Majesty still has the leisure to go back to the Tai Chi Hall.

Wei Zheng entered the palace and saw the father and son living in harmony, no matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong.

Why is the prince here?Why are the other courtiers not here?Why did you only call him over alone?

He bowed to the two of them, but Li Shimin didn't speak, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Sit down."

Wei Zheng was even more confused.

Then Tian Cong, the eunuch who was serving Li Shimin, came in, "Doctor Zhang is already in the side hall, waiting to be summoned at any time."

Wei Zheng still didn't understand what these two people meant, but both His Majesty and the Crown Prince were not in good health, so if he summoned the imperial physician, could it be that one of them had a serious problem?

Wei Zheng looked serious, waiting for Li Shimin to take the initiative to inform him.

Xu Zhe said softly, "I've been away for so many years, are you in good health?"

What years?

Wei Zheng was even more confused, and was a little afraid that Li Shimin would send him to teach the prince, so he hurriedly replied, "Thank you for your concern, the prince, the old minister has no serious illnesses, but minor illnesses keep coming. As people get older, they are not as good as before."

Xu Zhe was still not at ease, after all Wei Zheng died of illness three years later.

He said to Li Shimin, "Let's talk about it, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin thought a little more.

Now that Wei Zheng is his subject, he naturally believes in his words even more.It's really hard for the elder brother to speak, and Wei Zheng might be in a dilemma if he doesn't do it.Moreover, he is the Son of Heaven, and you have no jokes. It is more credible for him to tell the truth, "Xuan Cheng. This matter is indeed unbelievable. Everything I will say is true and not to tease you. Please try to be as calm as possible."

It turns out that the imperial physician outside prepared it for him...

Wei Zheng had an ominous premonition, the more careful Li Shimin told him, the more panicked he became.

Wei Zheng urged him, "Please tell me."

"The day before yesterday when Chengqian was having fun with the palace people, I sent people to the East Palace. The eunuch, who the crown prince was disrespectful to pass on, was protecting a musician who said he wanted to see me, so I went."

Wei Zheng nodded, he could see now that the problem was with the prince, but he didn't know what the prince said to His Majesty that day.

Li Shimin said, "Prince, he...although he is silent and eccentric, but things have happened, so we can't treat them as usual."

"what do you mean……"

"When the prince woke up, he became a different person."

Wei Zheng's expression changed. Whether it's true or not, it's not a trivial matter.

If it is true, can he take up the duties of the prince?Will it govern the country?Li Chengqian has been doing things out of line recently, but a few years ago he took charge of the government temporarily and managed the country in an orderly manner.

If it is false, either the crown prince has a heart of disobedience, or the crown prince is really sick, neither of which can continue to be the crown prince.

Xu Zhe answered at this time, "In the past, when you were on duty in the East Palace, you thought you were respectful to your husband. Now, it seems that you are really like a fish in water when you are with your second brother."

Even though Wei Zheng had all kinds of thoughts, he couldn't guess that the crown prince Chengqian had become the old master!

The crown prince is His Majesty's son, everyone can see how much Li Shimin cares about him.He can say that, it must be true.Recalling that His Majesty chatted with him for a long time yesterday about Li Jiancheng, what is Wei Zheng not clear about?

These words were like thunder, and Wei Zheng was stunned. He looked at Xu Zhe in a daze, and Xu Zhe asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Li Shimin made a decisive decision: "Let Imperial Doctor Zhang come over."

Xu Zhe poured a glass of water for Wei Zheng, fearing that Wei Zheng would be frightened, so his voice was soft and gentle, "I don't know what happened, but I lost consciousness shortly after entering the Xuanwu Gate, and I don't know where I am. Where, when you open your eyes, you will be in the East Palace, and the eunuchs and maids are still calling you Prince Gu, and it took some effort to figure out that the orphan is in Cheng Qian's body."

"It's really you..." Wei Zheng didn't have the heart to drink the water he poured, he put down his glass and knelt down, "I have failed His Highness's expectations, and I am ashamed of His Highness's appreciation."

This dynasty is not like the later generations who knelt at every turn. The Zhou Dynasty had kneeling and worship, and it was generally used in sacrificial offerings and special solemn occasions. Wei Zheng's deeds have already demonstrated his attitude.Xu Zhe hurriedly helped him up, "Please get up quickly, the past has long since disappeared, and you are still doing your best for the great Tang Dynasty, you should be grateful, not such a great gift."

Wei Zheng was lifted up by him and sat back on the chair. His mood hadn't calmed down yet, and the shrewdness in his eyes had long been replaced by blankness. Surprised, he prescribed some soothing medicine and tonic and left.

Wei Zheng didn't calm down as quickly as Li Shimin, he was completely numb, in order to avoid saying the wrong thing, he quickly resigned and left the Tai Chi Hall in a hurry.

Li Shimin also knew that Wei Zheng died of illness in 17 years in Zhenguan. He also asked Doctor Zhang about Wei Zheng's health. It can be changed.

Xu Zhe said: "It seems that it will take a few days before Wei Zheng comes up with an idea."

Li Shimin was not surprised, "He knows what's going on, and he won't miss a big deal."

Xu Zhe: "Seeing Wei Zheng's reaction today, Gucai realizes that something is not quite right."

Li Shimin guessed what he was going to say, but didn't speak.

"That day Gu revealed his identity to you. Although you were surprised, you didn't have much suspicion." Xu Zhe smiled, "After 15 years of being the emperor, can you really make people so calm?"

Li Shimin smiled, but still didn't speak.

Xu Zhe stood up, this time he didn't forget that his legs were bad, he stood firmly, "I have nothing to do today, I'm going back alone."

Xu Zhe sat on the shoulder chair, and felt very sleepy after emptying his head.

I have to catch up on sleep after I go back, because I got up too early in the morning.

Soon he arrived at the East Palace, and Li Yuanji greeted him outside. He was covered with cat fur, and that ugly cat went somewhere.

Xu Zhe came down and teased him, "Are you fighting with the cat again?"

"No way." Li Yuanji said, "It's so naughty, I can't bear it, so I asked someone to carry it down. Why does His Highness only ask the cat and not me?"

Xu Zhe walked slowly with him, it seemed very intimate to outsiders, but only they knew how appropriate it was.

"Someone neglected you?"

"That's not true. You only went to the Tai Chi Hall for a long time. Even if you want to neglect me, you don't have the guts." Li Yuanji said, "Many people have come to me to inquire about your affairs during the past half day, most of them are from the palace. Eunuchs and court ladies, and a Taoist priest named Qin Ying."
