Chapter 96 Little Interlude
"Bold, dare to stop the prince's frame?"
"Your Majesty has an order. The prince has been thinking about his family for three months without His Majesty's permission, he will not leave the palace without His Majesty's permission!"
Wei Tai: “…”
Li Chengqian: “…”
"That third brother, I forgot that I was still confined by the old man. Why don't you go and have a look outside the city?"
"I've been there more than once! Brother, what are your plans?"
"I am planning to build a large farm there to solve the raw material problems of our restaurants. And to make an attempt, if successful, it can provide the people with a way to make a fortune."
"Why don't my brother write down the matter and I'll do it?"
"No, I'm not sure about some things myself. I have to go to experiment with them myself... Forget it, I'll go and write a release note to the old man!"
"Hey, hey, brother..."
"You are waiting in the carriage, I'll be back soon!" After saying that, Li Chengqian jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly towards the Tai Chi Hall.
Today is the time for the small dynasty meeting, so His Majesty Li Er should be in the Tai Chi Hall now, rather than the Liangyi Hall where he used to work.
Although Li Chengqian often does not attend court meetings, he still remembers clearly when the court meeting will be held.
Sure enough, when I came all the way outside the Tai Chi Hall, I heard quarrels coming from inside...
"Fuck, how could Li Jing do such a thing? Just by the words of a few Turkic barbarians, you will have His Majesty convicted him?"
"General Cheng, the state has national laws and the evidence is conclusive now. If the punishment is not imposed, how should Your Majesty lead the troops in the future?"
"Don't tell me those who have nothing! The soldiers of the Northern Expedition are about to return to Beijing, and the rewards have not yet been completely confirmed. We will be punished now. What are you concerned about?"
"We just follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"
“…”
Li Chengqian did not go in directly, but crawled at the door and listened for a while with the smile on the guard at the door.
Originally, he wanted to wait until the people inside finished arguing before going in, but after he understood what the people inside were arguing, he couldn't help it.
He directly opened the door and shouted: "Law? If you really act according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, then my country will be prosperous and the people will be safe!"
Since it was a small dynasty meeting, there were not many people, only officials such as the heads of the three provinces, the six ministers and some censors.
When everyone saw Li Chengqian suddenly coming in, they were stunned at first, and then saluted one after another.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"
"No gift! Gao Ming has met all the uncles!"
"Why are you here?" Needless to say, everyone knows who it is, who dares to ask Li Chengqian this way.
"I have recently been thinking about my mistakes in the palace, and I feel that I have done something wrong in the past and have not fulfilled the responsibilities that a crown prince should have..."
As soon as Li Chengqian spoke, he saw his cheapness twitching slightly, but he didn't care at all and continued to speak on his own.
"Mr. Confucius taught his sons that those who are kings need to be sympathetic to the people and understand the sufferings of the people. So today, the sons want to go outside the city to see how the people live, and also guide the farmers to raise chickens, ducks, and develop side jobs. Therefore, they came to ask the father for a release note and ask the father to agree!"
"Well, it's rare that you have this intention, so go, but you must go back to the palace before sunset!"
"My son knows!"
After saying that, Li Chengqian turned around and was about to leave, but after just a few steps, he remembered something.
"No, I haven't finished speaking yet." Li Chengqian turned around and glanced at the ministers, "Who said just now that he wanted to imprison Li Jing? Stand out for me!"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, it is your Majesty who asked His Majesty to capture Li Jing and imprison him!"
"Oh, it turns out to be the Censor Zheng, no wonder..." The person who made the voice was not someone else. It was Zheng Hongyi who fainted in the court because of Li Chengqian's incident that day because of Li Chengqian. "Father, I heard it outside just now. Someone reported that General Li seized the food and supplies of Turkic prisoners of war and abused the law, causing the Turkic prisoners of war to rise up to resist the heavenly soldiers, right?"
"What the Crown Prince said is exactly. Censor Zheng accidentally met several Turkic people and claimed that he had escaped from prisoners of war. General Li was exactly what they told Censor Zheng."
His Majesty Li Er did not answer, but one of the generals stood up and explained directly.
"Gou can't understand. If Gu remembers correctly, when he demoted Turkic prisoners of war to hard labor, his father issued an order that all prisoners of war who fled were treated as treason. In this case, Lord Zheng met with the treason who was treason in private. Can Gu think there is any secret between you?"
"No, no, absolutely not!" Zheng Hongyi hurriedly said in horror, "Your Majesty, please make a clear observation. The old minister is devoted to the country and has not had any affair with the Turks!"
"Hmph, there is no personal relationship? As the censor of the Censorate, why didn't he think about arresting the prisoners of war when he saw the escaped prisoners of war, but instead inquire about the frontline? He also asked his father to issue an order to deal with a duke of the Tang Dynasty and a hero who had just destroyed the Turks? What was your intention in Censor Zheng?"
"Your Majesty, old minister, old minister..."
"Okay, Gao Ming retreated. Zheng Aiqing didn't need to say much. I have a decision at this time!"
Seeing that Zheng Hongyi was so angry that he was a little breathless, His Majesty Li Er made a final decision, passed the matter perfunctorily and sent Li Chengqian away!
"I'll leave!" Li Chengqian stopped when he saw the opportunity, but when this guy left, he still kept pride in the stern stroke of Cheng Zhijie, which was very obvious, just: Look, I am much better than you, and it doesn't work after scolding you for so long. My highness almost fainted after a few words!
Cheng Zhijie curled his lips and rolled his eyes at Li Chengqian. However, the other generals beside him smiled at him kindly.
After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, Li Chengqian also figured out one thing. It is estimated that His Majesty Li Er did not take Zheng Hongyi's impeachment seriously at all. He was not stupid. At this time, Li Jing was about to bring the troops from the Northern Expedition of the Turks back to Beijing. If he really wanted to make Li Jing drunk at this time, what if he forced Li Jing to rebel?
Moreover, Zheng Hongyi's impeachment was not a big deal. As Li Chengqian said, if a great general of the Tang Dynasty was punished for a few words from a few false people, then he, the emperor, would probably be almost over.
