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

Chapter 298 I am deeply relieved that you can come to the East Palace!
Lu Chengqing detained people from the two countries, led by Randy and Xie Lisi, and arrived outside the gate of the Dali Temple.

With so many criminals in custody, they naturally attracted a lot of attention and the news quickly spread in Chang'an City.

"Master Lu?"

Sun Fuga, who got the news, immediately came out to greet them. After looking at Randy and the others, he asked in confusion, "Who are these people?"

Lu Chengqing cupped his hands and said, "Lord Sun, I learned that these Persians ambushed the Arabs outside the city, so I immediately took people to capture them all."

"Although a vicious fight was avoided, two people were injured. After much deliberation, I think it is more appropriate to leave this large-scale fight to your Dali Temple for handling."

Sun Fujia raised his eyebrows. Given Lu Chengqing's status, it was only natural for him to deal with such a large-scale fight.

However, considering what has happened recently, Lu Chengqing may have done this to avoid suspicion.

Seeing Sun Fujia remained silent, Lu Chengqing cupped his hands and said, "I also know that it would be troublesome to hand this matter over to the Dali Temple, but I still ask Lord Sun to help."

Then Lu Chengqing lowered his voice and said, "Randy has a close relationship with the King of Wei. Xie Lisi and others are from the Persian merchant Rosshan, who is also very close to the prince."

Sun Fujia thought for a moment, "If that's the case, then let's detain these people."

Qiao Mengzhuo, who was following behind Sun Fujia, nodded and led his men to take Xie Lisi and others to the Dali Temple.

Lu Chengqing thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Sun."

Sun Fujia: "Master Lu is too polite."

After the handover was completed, Lu Chengqing bowed and said goodbye, leading his men out of the Dali Temple.

"Sir, I just received news that the Persians ambushed the three people from the Arab Kingdom outside the city. Randy got the news and immediately took people to rescue them."

Qiao Mengzhuo whispered: "Although Randy is very fast, two of the three were injured."

"An ambush?"

A hint of amusement flashed across Sun Fujia's face.

The feud between Persia and the Arab Empire had already spread in Chang'an City more than a month ago when Alohan asked for help.

Now, after so much time has passed, the Persians have set up an ambush outside the city to attack the people of the Arab Empire.

This is quite intriguing.

"Yes, the Persian leader, Xie Lisi, also returned to Chang'an City today."

Qiao Mengzhuo continued, "He had previously gone to Persia with Persian Prince A Luohan, Captain Wang Xuance and others."

Sun Fujia raised his lips slightly, "In other words, the situation in Persia has changed. Xie Lisi immediately returned to Chang'an City to inform Roshan, and then led people to set up an ambush outside the city, trying to kill the person who informed Randy!"

Qiao Mengzhuo said uncertainly: "Probably so."

"So what kind of big event would cause the Persians to set up an ambush outside the city?"

Sun Fujia said calmly, "Since these people came to Chang'an City, they have been advocating harmony and making money. They are much more gentle than the people of the Arab Kingdom."

Qiao Mengzhuo nodded and said, "Shall I go and interrogate him?"

"it is good."

……

County Prince's Mansion.

Li Tai frowned as he looked at the servant who came to report the news that Randy and others had been arrested.

Was it because of the Persians who ambushed him outside the city?
Why did the Persians set an ambush outside the city?

This is weird!
"Your Majesty, Lord Du Chuke requests to see you."

"please."

Du Chuke walked in quickly and said seriously, "Your Majesty, something happened in Persia."

Li Tai raised his eyebrows and looked over. Du Chuke said in a deep voice: "The 30,000-strong army of the Arab Empire arrived in Khorasan, but was defeated by Persia!"

"Among them, Wang Xuance and eight hundred others took out new weapons that were extremely powerful."

Li Tai pondered: "Do you know what weapon it is?"

Du Chuke: "At present, we only know that it is a fire gun, but we don't know how it is made or how it is fired."

"But there is one good thing."

"whats the matter?"

"Wang Xuance and others are carrying explosives this time!"

"Ok?"

Li Tai suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Du Chuke.

"explosive?!"

"Not bad!"

Du Chuke nodded heavily, "It's the explosive!"

"Our people at the Dali Temple sent a message that the three Alitos under Randy's command came back to report this matter to Randy and the prince!"

"But I didn't know that Xie Lisi returned to Chang'an City immediately and informed Roshan of the matter. I guess the ambush of Xie Lisi and others outside the city was arranged by Roshan!"

Li Tai remained silent, but a smile gradually appeared on his face, becoming more and more presumptuous.

explosive!
Su Chen indeed had explosives in his hands!

"It's a good thing, it's really a good thing!"

Li Tai raised his lips slightly, "So, the explosion that happened in Wannian County was caused by him in secret!"

Du Chuke nodded heavily, "Obviously!"

"Wang Xuance and his 800 men cooperated with Persia to defeat the 30,000-strong army of the Arab Empire, and none of them were killed or injured!"

"Your Majesty, you really helped the Crown Prince and his men train a strong army!"

Li Tai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Isn't this good news?"

"As the crown prince, he is secretly training his troops and making weapons. What does he want to do?"

Train troops and forge weapons privately.

This is undoubtedly good news for Li Tai!

As for what the prince wants to do, Sima Zhao's intention is naturally known to everyone!
Du Chuke smiled and said, "I'm afraid the prince doesn't have the courage!"

Li Tai glanced at him and said cheerfully, "Not everyone has the courage to overturn the table."

"Especially him!"

The prince has a weak character, especially when facing Your Majesty. When has he ever been tough?

Even if he had forged so many weapons and trained an elite force, what could it do?
Does he really have the courage to overturn the table in front of His Majesty?
Even if he had the courage, the twelve guards were enough to shatter any of Li Chengqian's unrealistic fantasies!

Once my father returns from Jiucheng Palace and learns about these things, how will he treat the prince?

I'm really looking forward to it.

"I am really looking forward to the moment when my father returns to the palace."

Li Tai smiled and continued, "Send someone to deliver this news to Prince Qi's palace. I think he will be very interested in this matter."

Du Chuke nodded in understanding.

Now, the King of Qi has reached an agreement with Li Tai.

Deal with the prince first!
Since they are allies, there is naturally no problem in sending this news to the King of Qi.

The problem is that the King of Qi almost died in Fan Yang!
Among the people protecting the King of Qi is Su Chen, oh no, it’s the Prince’s man!
Having such weapons, instead of protecting his brothers, he went to help Persia!
When the King of Qi heard the news, his expression must have been very interesting!
……

East Palace.

Sun Fujia held the notes in his sleeves and waited quietly for the report. It took Qiao Mengzhuo less than an incense stick of time to get information about Persia from Alytus.

Sun Fujia was completely stunned when he heard the news!

Su Chen actually has explosives in his hands!
But the tools he used to prove his innocence were clearly not capable of making explosives, so why did he still have this thing in his hands?

and.

In addition to explosives, Su Chen also has a powerful weapon in his hands!

Does the prince know about these things?

If the prince knew, then what was his intention in allowing Su Chen to behave like this?

"Lord Sun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you."

With a lot of doubts in his mind, Sun Fujia walked into the East Palace.

"Your servant Sun Fujia pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Master Sun, please take a seat."

Li Chengqian pointed to a chair beside him with a smile and ordered someone to serve tea.

Sun Fujia thanked him and sat down.

Looking at Li Chengqian with a calm face, Sun Fujia didn't know where to start for a moment.

It was Li Chengqian who broke the silence first. "Lord Sun, are you here this time because of the armed fight between the Persians and the Arabs outside the city?"

"Your Highness is wise."

Sun Fujia said in a deep voice, "Persian Xie Lisi gathered a group of people to ambush merchants from the Arab Kingdom, disregarding the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and should be severely punished."

Li Chengqian nodded, "I am deeply relieved that Lord Sun came to the Eastern Palace as soon as possible after dealing with this matter."

Sun Fujia frowned, "Prince, the matter of Persia..."

"It was arranged by me."

Li Chengqian looked calm, but what he said made Sun Fujia a little angry.

"Wang Xuance and his men went to Persia to provide assistance, firstly because I accepted the gold, silver and jewelry sent by Roshan, and secondly, to train the troops."

Gulu.

Sun Fujia picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.

Accepting bribes and training troops in private!
Prince, do you know what you are saying and doing? !

"Your Highness..."

"Listen to me."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said calmly: "The Fubing system promoted by my father has indeed greatly guaranteed the military strength of our Tang Dynasty, but it also has great drawbacks."

"The reason why I want to help Persia is not only because of the gold, silver and jewelry sent by Roshan, but more of an attempt."

"try?"

Sun Fujia looked curious and said, "I'd like to hear more about it."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Su Chen once told me that any trouble that can be solved with money is not a trouble!"

"Later, I deeply realized the profound meaning of it."

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the treasury was empty. It was the gold, silver and jewelry sent by Roshan that solved the problem of rewarding the adults."

"In the Songzhou War, Su Chen gave me 300,000 taels of silver to deal with the 50,000-strong Tibetan army and the rebellion of the Di clan and the Huang Qiang."

"But all this money was earned from the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"We need to take a long-term view and expand our horizons!"

"Persia has always been good at business. If I make friends with Persia, I can use Persia as a springboard to do business with Western countries and earn countless gold, silver and jewelry, which will strengthen the country and benefit the people!"

"This Persian crisis is a good attempt."

Sun Fujia was impressed by Li Chengqian's plan, but also had some concerns. "But Your Highness, do you know that you are privately making weapons and training troops?"

"do not know."

Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head.

Sun Fujia was speechless for a moment.

Although His Majesty has entrusted all matters to you, you can't do this, right?
"Your Highness, this is an act of treason!"

Sun Fujia took a deep breath and bowed: "If this matter is used by someone with ulterior motives, it will be a huge crisis for Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, please cut ties with Su Chen to avoid getting yourself into trouble!"

Li Chengqian laughed, and laughed very loudly.

"Master Sun, please take a seat."

"Your Highness?"

"I just said that I am very pleased that you were able to come to the East Palace to meet me first. Your performance now is enough to prove that I was not wrong about you."

Li Chengqian said slowly and calmly: "Father is old and no longer has the ambition he had in the past..."

hiss!
Sun Fujia's hair stood on end, feeling that he had already been put on the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death.

"Your Highness, be careful what you say!"

"It's okay. I once argued with your majesty about this matter in person, and I won."

"Uh……"

Sun Fujia was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The prince told Your Majesty in person that he is old and useless?
Your Majesty didn't teach the prince a lesson?

This……

"My second brother is short-sighted after all. He only thinks about that position, but forgets what Lord Wei once said: the people are the water and the king is the boat."

"What I want to do is to benefit the people of the world. I don't have time to waste on fighting with him for the throne, so I let him go again and again."

"I don't want to be like my father, leaving behind something that others would criticize. Lord Sun, do you understand what I mean?"

Sun Fujia pondered and nodded slowly.

Li Chengqian stood up with a smile and walked in front of Sun Fujia. "You are the first number one scholar since the imperial examination began. Your father thinks highly of you, and so do I."

"So, don't get involved in this matter."

"Your Highness?"

"Go back, release them all, and teach them a lesson if they deserve one."

"But Your Highness..."

"I have my own plans."

Seeing Li Chengqian's confidence, Sun Fujia hesitated for a long time, but finally bowed and left.

After walking out of the East Palace, Sun Fujia felt that instead of being relaxed, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, making it hard to breathe.

No.

Sun Fujia thought for a moment, then mounted his horse and headed towards the Mansion of Duke Shen.

Shortly afterwards.

A rider left the East Palace and headed out of the city...
