Chapter 62 sixty one

"What a bastard!" A voice came from the door, which made Li Chengqian tremble in shock, and his pen fell down with a "slap".Looking back, it was Changsun Wuji and Empress Changsun who walked in.Changsun Wuji pointed at Li Chengqian and scolded: "You have really grown up, and you dare to do a big business of 400,000 shi. If it weren't for Hu Cheng's mother, Mrs. Sui'an, who sent someone to ask for help from the empress, we would still be fooled by you." Here!" He walked to the table while talking, grabbed the watch stamp written by Li Chengqian, glanced at it, slapped it on the table, became even angrier, and said with a face full of anger: "If you make a mistake, you still want to Wrong second step? The emperor hasn't said that he wants to abolish you, but you are abolishing yourself?" Li Chengqian said with tears in his eyes, "No matter what, it was all because of me. Woe, if I live in this East Palace again, how can I be worthy of my conscience?"

Changsun Wuji sternly said: "Conscience, can you live up to your conscience by giving up the East Palace?" He pulled up Li Chengqian's sleeve and dragged him to Empress Changsun, pointing to his sister and said: "You Give me a good look at her, look into her eyes, she has been married to the Li family for seventeen or eighteen years, do you remember how many times she laughed? The only thing that flows out of these eyes is tears. You It's possible not to have this East Palace, but who should make up for her suffering all these years?" Empress Changsun's eyes were already filled with tears, and Li Chengqian plopped down on his knees and wept, "Mother!" Empress Changsun stroked her son's head and said, "Son, who can avoid making mistakes all their lives? Don't think too much, Donggong This chair is the most unstable chair in the world, no matter what happens to you, don't panic, try to find a way to sit on it no matter how difficult it is, and don't fall off by yourself!" Then Empress Changsun turned to Changsun Wu Ji, pleadingly said: "Brother, the cadre is small and ignorant, you have to help him."

Changsun Wuji looked at the mother and son, sighed, turned around and walked towards Chengqing Hall. Outside the gate of Chengqing Hall, Wang Dezheng stood there with a cloudy face, Changsun Wuji asked in a low voice: "Is the Emperor there?" He turned around and wanted to leave, but his younger sister's teary eyes flashed in front of his eyes again. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked to the door and shouted: "The minister, Sun Wuji, see my emperor, long live, long live." Li Shimin was sitting in front of him solemnly, looking at the picture of Cuiwei Palace, and when he heard Changsun Wuji's voice, he raised his head and said, "Come in." Changsun Wuji walked in, Li Shimin looked at him, There was something in the words: "Are you here to intercede with someone?"

Changsun Wuji said something that surprised Li Shimin: "No, I'm here to sue someone." Li Shimin asked: "Who are you suing?" Changsun Wuji said solemnly: "I sue the prince." Li Shimin showed a look of astonishment on his face: "Are you suing the prince?" Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "Oh, I was on duty in Zhongshu, the crown prince suddenly ran over and told me that I had no face to see the emperor, and asked me to present a letter of resignation to the emperor. After asking, I found out that there was such a serious incident in Taicang. After hearing this, the minister was so angry that his lungs exploded, and he wrote a memorial overnight to accuse the prince of committing three crimes." Li Shimin didn't know that the eldest grandson Wuji went on a gourd. What kind of medicine is sold in the store, and asked: "Which three crimes?"

Changsun Wuji said: "First of all, it is a violation of the law to sell Taicang grain privately and cause a mutiny. Second, he couldn't bear to see his father and emperor sick, so he was so filial that he took the risk and ignored the burden of the state reserve. Well, not only did he fail to fulfill his filial piety, but he added new worries to the emperor's old illness, and he was caught in a dilemma, which is rebellion." Changsun Wuji said while stealing eyes at Li Shimin.Li Shimin listened fascinated, sighed and said: "Last time, he held the firebox here to bake my legs for me, and I had a premonition that he would do something stupid!"

Changsun Wuji went on to say: "The third case is disorderly government. The country has been bullied by the Hu bandits for several years. The emperor has worked hard to calm down several sources of chaos in the country. He is hoarding food and plotting the Northern Expedition. Performing filial piety, committing such a big mistake, will give those who covet the East Palace an opportunity, and they will definitely use this as a basis to set off waves of abolishment. This will not stabilize the court for two or three years, and Hu Kou is getting worse. Powerful, the Tang Dynasty will never have peace!"

Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at Changsun Wuji for a long time: "Are you suing? This is clearly defending the prince!" Changsun Wuji said with a look of sincerity and fear, "I dare not." Li Shimin stood up, turned around and called out the door: "Ma Xuanliang." Ma Xuanliang walked in.Li Shimin ordered: "You send people to take Hu Chenghe's family and others to Beiyuan overnight, and keep them in secret, and don't let anyone have contact with them!" Changsun Wuji knelt on the ground and looked at Li Shimin, a stone fell from his heart. From the emperor's expression, he had already seen the direction of the wind, and the crown prince's position should be fine.

Sitting in front of the chessboard, Cen Wenwen first picked up a black piece and dropped it, then picked up a white piece and dropped it.Li Ke walked over lightly, stood behind Cen Wenwen, and watched him play chess without saying a word.The study room was very quiet, only the sound of chess pieces falling kept coming out. Li Ke couldn't help applauding when the chess moved to a wonderful point: "It's really a wonderful skill. I didn't expect the white chess to win in the end!" Cen Wenwen turned around and cupped his hands: "Your Highness!" Li Ke also bowed his hand as a return gift, then pointed to the chessboard and said, "Mister, why do you always play chess with yourself?" Cen Wenwen said: "When you play chess with yourself, you know that when you usually do things, you should not only think about yourself. How to make a move, you have to watch how other people make moves. Your Highness is here in the future?" Li Ke was even more surprised: "It turns out that the master already knew that I was coming, and you can do three things with one mind."

Cen Wenwen reached out to pick up a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "I'll tell you the truth, the minister has been able to stand in this court trembling until today, thanks to such a little effort of one mind and three tasks. Do your own thing, stare at the opposite, Pay attention to those who are watching.” Li Ke asked: "Then sir, tell me, what are the three chess players in the imperial court thinking about?" Cen Wenwen glanced at Li Ke and asked, "Which game is your Highness talking about?" Li Ke replied that it was the mutiny of the Zuotun Guards.Cen Wenwen was taken aback, and said to Li Ke: "Why, did your Highness see that this is a game of chess?"
