Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 159 Li Chengqian: Sorry, I don’t want to be a troublemaker!
Dusk.

Li Chengqian, smelling slightly of alcohol, walked into the Prince's residence with a smug look on his face.

"Brother Su, I have good news..."

"Good news? Haha! Just when things were going well, things went wrong."

"what?"

Li Chengqian was stunned, and the smile on his face disappeared, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Today is my first day as regent, why are you saying such discouraging words?"

"Whether it's discouraging or not, you'll soon understand."

Su Chen's face was calm, and he tilted his head and said, "Aqiang, tell the prince about the news you found."

Li Chengqian looked over and Sun Qiang said in a deep voice, "On that day, the postman from Henan Prefecture brought news of the drought and handed it to Lord Zhou Qian of the Imperial Guards to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, for some reason, the news of the drought was handed over to a guard named Feng Wanli, who then presented it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian nodded, "It is true."

"At that time, the guard said that because Lord Li was looking for something, Zhou Qian went there in a hurry and entrusted him to pass the memorial to me."

"I found it strange at the time. It is impossible for Zhou Qian to hand over such an important matter to a guard and pass it to me."

"But after seeing the memorial about the drought in Henan Prefecture being under control, I didn't care. After all, the disaster has been brought under control. What does it matter who sent the memorial?"

Sun Qiang said slowly: "The guard named Feng Wanli has disappeared."

Li Chengqian's eyebrows twitched, "What do you mean by disappearing without a trace?"

Su Chen: "Maybe he was silenced, or maybe he was sent out of Chang'an City!"

Li Chengqian still didn't understand the key point: "Why is this?"

Su Chen took out the newspaper and said, "If the news in the newspaper is true, the disaster in Henan Prefecture is more serious than we imagined, and it has now spread to the six realms!"

"This is impossible!"

Li Chengqian said coldly, "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that someone at the post station or the driving department is deliberately hiding the news?!"

"How dare they be so bold? Aren't they afraid of being implicated along with their entire clan?"

Su Chen shook his head and laughed, Nine Clans Elimination Chamber, that also needs to be confirmed, and this person must be found first.

"what happened?"

"If this news is false, why did Feng Wanli disappear?"

"..."

Li Chengqian was silent.

Sun Qiang said, "The reason Feng Wanli gave was that his mother was seriously ill and he needed to return home to take care of her. Since then, there has been no news from him!"

Su Chen: "I have ordered Lu Fei to go to Duji Road to investigate this matter. If this is true, do you understand what the consequences will be?"

Li Chengqian sat on the chair, his face turning blue and red.

If the drought in Henan Prefecture really spread to the Six Paths, then what he said to Li Shimin that day would be tantamount to deceiving the emperor!
Regardless of whether it was his investigation result or not, someone must take the blame for such a big incident!
Especially now, Li Shimin has gone to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat, and he is the regent!

The drought in the Six Paths is as severe as fire. If there are any more people who rebel...

numb.

Completely numb!

A drop of cold sweat dripped down the corner of Li Chengqian's temple, and his energy and spirit just now seemed to be completely drained away at this moment.

"You mean, someone is targeting me on purpose?"

Li Chengqian's voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk tea for several days.

Su Chen nodded slowly, "I suspect it might be Li Tai's doing!"

Li Tai...

Li Chengqian frowned and said nothing.

Su Chen said slowly: "The drought in Henan Prefecture has spread to the land of the Six Paths. It has not been exposed yet, but once it is exposed, you will be affected first."

"Secondly, for such a long time, no one has paid attention to the drought in Henan Prefecture. What will the people in Henan Prefecture feel like?"

"Will they gather together to rebel?"

"I understand!"

Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "I will order people to transfer grain to Henan Prefecture..."

"Do not."

Su Chen shook his head, "What you need to do now is to prepare for the attack from the Prince Wei's Mansion!"

Li Chengqian looked over and saw Su Chen knocking on the newspaper on the table.

“A duck knows first when the river water warms in spring.”

"The owner of Mingyan Newspaper is Liu Tao. You should have met him before when we were at the Liu Mansion for the memorial ceremony."

Li Chengqian frowned and thought for a moment, "Is it the person who follows Li Tai and Du Chuke?"

Su Chen nodded: "That's the person."

"There was no information about the drought in Henan Prefecture in the Mingyan newspapers these past two days, but it popped up today."

"As for why it popped up, this should not be difficult to understand."

"Build momentum!"

Li Chengqian blurted out, "Making this matter bigger step by step, and then asking about the origin of this matter, and involving me!"

Li Chengqian was sweating profusely.

When facing the drought in Henan Prefecture, the current crown prince actually reported to the emperor that the drought had been brought under control, ignoring the lives of millions of people in Henan Prefecture.

The drought in Henan Prefecture continued to spread and spread to the six realms.

The prince supervises the country?

I am just a joke!
"What a cruel and vicious plot!"

Li Chengqian gnashed his teeth and said, "He is going to use the lives of tens of thousands of people to pull me down from the throne of the Eastern Palace!"

"Damn it!"

"Li Tai deserves to die!"

After cursing several times, Li Chengqian looked at Su Chen, "What should we do now?"

Su Chen said slowly: "Whether it can be pulled down or not is another matter, but this matter will take time to make it work!"

"I have arranged for people to prepare food. By tomorrow evening at the latest, we should be able to collect some food and send it to the disaster-stricken areas."

"But Henan Province, Hebei Province and other places are all under the sphere of influence of Lin Yunchen, the head of the Ministry of Revenue!"

Li Chengqian's expression turned even colder. "I know this person. Privately, everyone says that he is the money bag of the Prince of Wei's mansion!"

Su Chen nodded: "If it weren't for this person, the drought in Henan Prefecture would definitely not be concealed."

"So, if we want to solve this disaster, we must not only feed this man, but also feed all of his subordinates!"

Bang!
Li Chengqian slammed his fist on the table, "Doesn't this mean that we are giving them a lot of money for free?"

"It would be best if we could use silver to solve this problem..."

Su Chen said meaningfully, "If something can be solved with money, can it still be called a problem?"

"Don't forget whose money bag he is!"

Li Chengqian: "..."

"So, what should I do?"

"The Crown Prince will naturally supervise the country and handle the government affairs. As for the drought in Henan Prefecture, the Crown Prince was deceived and does not know the reason. As for the rest of the things, we will do what we need to do."

"What I want to ask you is the drought situation in Henan Prefecture and other places."

"I ordered Wang Xuance to go to Hedong Road."

"Hedong Road?"

Li Chengqian frowned, "Don't be so mysterious!"

Su Chen: "Lin Yunchen has many wives and concubines, but only one playboy son named Lin Changshou, who should be in Hedong now."

"If we take down Lin Changshou, we might have the leverage to talk to Lin Yunchen."

hiss!
Li Chengqian's pupils shrank.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Once Lin Changshou is captured, Lin Yunchen will definitely be cautious!
Even if the disaster is exposed, he can negotiate the price with Lin Changshou and Lin Yunchen, and control the disaster as quickly as possible to avoid being affected!

even.

We can use the incident with the guard Feng Wanli to drag the Prince of Wei into the palace and whip him!

"Of course, this is just a possibility." Su Chen said calmly, "Don't be happy too soon. If Lin Yunchen clings to Li Tai's thigh and doesn't care even if his son dies for it, then that would be a real trouble."

Li Chengqian nodded slowly.

Once Lin Yunchen doesn't care, whether he kills Lin Changshou or not, he will pay a certain price for it!

"We must prepare for the worst!"

Su Chen said in a low voice, "This is your first test as regent!"

"Perhaps, His Majesty's spies are in Chang'an City right now, watching your every move!"

Li Chengqian was silent.

Su Chen leaned back and relaxed a little, "Now I can tell you your good news."

Li Chengqian: "..."

In such a dangerous situation, how can there be any good news?

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes. "After the court was dismissed, the King of Wei invited me to the King of Wei's mansion as a guest and gave me a beautiful man."

Su Chen: “……?”

The limp body stood up again, "Man?"

Li Chengqian nodded, "I can't believe there is a man in this world who is more beautiful than a woman. Not only is he as beautiful as a flower, he is also very well-behaved and sensible. I was fascinated by him at first sight."

You're a two-headed dragon...

Uh.

Able to do both top and bottom, right?

Su Chen's mouth twitched, "Don't tell me that man's name is Cheng Xin."

Li Chengqian looked surprised, "Have you seen him?"

"I'll see you..."

Cough!

Su Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "What does Li Tai mean?"

Li Chengqian shook his head. "I just thought that this person was too beautiful, so Li Tai pretended to send me away, intending to mend the brotherhood between me and him."

Su Chen: "..."

Li Chengqian: "There were several ministers present at the time, and I couldn't refuse, so I kept him, just as if he were an extra personal attendant."

It's close fitting, right?

Negative distance, right?

"kill him……"

As soon as Su Chen opened his mouth, Li Chengqian's eyes widened.

"and many more!"

Su Chen changed his words again, leaving Li Chengqian stunned.

"No, what do you mean?"

Su Chen rubbed his brows and muttered, "Li Tai is sending someone to show his goodwill at this time... is he not ready yet?!"

Li Chengqian seemed to be thinking about something.

Su Chen's next words made his jaw drop.

"Leave him and fuck him!"

"???"

Li Chengqian was stunned. "What do you mean, leave him and then kill him?"

Su Chen: "It's just what you think. Uh, cough, you can call it the joy of the boudoir or the joy of Longyang."

"...?"

Li Chengqian was stunned, "Did anyone say that?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "I don't know if my guess is correct, but for now, we have to take advantage of the situation."

"Whatever the Heart wants to do to you, just accept it."

Li Chengqian: "You mean, Chengxin was deliberately arranged by Li Tai to monitor me, um, and disgust me at the same time?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "I don't know if it's disgusting or not, but surveillance should be correct."

Li Chengqian: "..."

Do we really have to...

A satisfactory face appeared in Li Chengqian's eyes.

Uh.

It doesn't seem to work either.

Li Chengqian glanced down and couldn't help but shudder.

Alas.

Too disgusting, right?
Snapped!
Su Chen snapped his fingers, calling back Li Chengqian who was in deep thought, "Don't be so wretched, okay? You are the crown prince of the dynasty."

Li Chengqian: "..."

"Really do this?"

"It's just a show. Of course, if you have a way to shut him up, you don't have to do this."

Su Chen was helpless: "After all, this is given to you openly, and you like it very much..."

"come on."

Li Chengqian thought about it and shook his head. "No, after what you said, I still have some resistance. I don't want to be a troublemaker."

puff.

Su Chen couldn't hold back for a moment, and the tea that had just entered his mouth sprayed out instantly.

"How about I send him to you?"

"Do you think this is a place for him to stay?"

"Then what should we do?!"

Li Chengqian was a little distressed.

Compared with the trouble brought by Prince Wei's Mansion, he felt that the trouble brought by Chengxin was even greater!

"I heard that Taoist Priest Qin Ying of Xihua Temple is proficient in the art of dream souls. Why don't you ask him to help control it?"

"Control? That's not necessary. I feel like he listens to me and is as obedient as a puppy..."

"and many more!"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, "Listen to my advice? Tell me more!"

Li Chengqian nodded, "When I was in the Prince of Wei's mansion, I always felt that he was not like a person, but more like a puppet."

Oh, that's how it is……

Su Chen lay back down in disappointment. I thought...

and many more? !
Bang!
Su Chen smashed the folding fan in his hand onto the table, with a look of amazement on his face, "Amazing!"

Li Chengqian: "What's wrong?"

Su Chen rubbed his cheek and said slowly: "Li Tai is really vicious. If he doesn't attack you, it's fine. But if he does, he will kill you!"

"How to say?"

"The drought in Henan Province has ruined your reputation, and has allowed the people of the world to witness with their own eyes an incompetent prince ruling the Tang Empire."

"Use the Dream Soul Method to control Chengxin, let him seduce you and destroy your position in the East Palace."

"If these two plans come true, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your position in the Eastern Palace!"

Li Chengqian was horrified: "You mean, Chengxin has been controlled by Qin Ying and is now just a puppet?"

Su Chen: "Nine out of ten!"

hiss!
Li Chengqian's face changed drastically.

A drought is enough to affect his position as the Eastern Palace. If he also likes the good of Long Yang and has an affair with a man...

The consequences are unimaginable!

"Brother Su, please help me!"
