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

Chapter 6 Do you know what you are doing?!

Abdicate and move out of the East Palace?

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a dead silence in the Taiji Hall, and everyone looked at Li Chengqian in surprise and doubt.

Even the imperial envoy Ding Ai, who had charged Li Chengqian with four crimes, was a little confused at this moment.

He listed all the wrongs of Li Chengqian, showing that he was not a ruler, and asked Li Shimin to punish him severely.

However, just as he put the dishes on the table, Li Chengqian overturned the table.

Yes, yes, I don’t deserve it.

I am unqualified to be the crown prince, so I will abdicate now and let someone else take over. Are you satisfied?
"presumptuous!"

Li Tai just felt a little secretly happy in his heart, but after hearing Li Shimin's angry rebuke, he immediately calmed down.

The position of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was decided by the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and was recognized by many court officials.

now.

Li Chengqian said he wanted to abdicate and let others take over. Can he really give up this position?
Will the emperor agree?

Will Li Shimin agree?

Will the civil and military officials agree?

Li Shimin had a cold look on his face, his eyes grim, "Abdicate and let others take over? Move out of the East Palace? Who do you think you are?!"

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Who am I? Who could I be?"

"I'm just a poor, motherless creature!"

"My father doesn't love me, and my uncle doesn't care about me!"

"Even if I go out of the city to vent my anger, I will be criticized!"

this moment.

Li Chengqian stood up straight, anger filling his chest, "Tell me, what should I do?!"

The angry roar echoed in the Tai Chi Hall.

The temperature in the entire hall was about to reach freezing point, and everyone looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief.

How could he be so rebellious? !

Li Shimin's face turned pale. He did not expect that Li Chengqian would dare to be so presumptuous.

He was questioned in front of all the civil and military officials.

"Somebody come!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Fang Xuanling stepped out quickly and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince fell off his horse and injured his head, so he can't speak clearly. Please calm down, Your Majesty."

The ministers bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Li Shimin clenched his fists, glanced at the many ministers who were pleading for him, and his eyes fell on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was not afraid at all and stared at Li Shimin with anger on his face.

He felt very happy.

Years of repression finally got released at this moment.

Prince?

It doesn’t matter!

"My son, please retire!"

Li Chengqian put one hand on Yu Zhining's shoulder and, with his support, walked out of the hall.

After walking out of the Taiji Hall, Li Chengqian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s fun, but also scary.

Even he himself could hardly believe that those words were spoken by him personally.

Maybe it’s long-term depression, or something else.

At that moment, Li Chengqian felt like his chest was about to explode and he had to vomit.

As for the consequences...

The worst case scenario is death!
Li Chengqian took a deep breath. He didn’t want to live in such a depressed state anymore!
"Your Highness, why is it so?"

"Go back to the East Palace and pack your things!"

Li Chengqian ignited the atmosphere, but then he just patted his butt and left.

But everyone is still here.

Facing Li Shimin's gloomy and terrifying expression, everyone shrank in silence, not daring to say a word.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai coldly, then stood up and left.

As soon as Li Shimin left, everyone suddenly felt that an invisible mountain pressing on their shoulders had been removed.

"Master Changsun..."

Fang Xuanling turned around, looked at Changsun Wuji who was about to leave, and walked over quickly, "Want to go together?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at him and nodded silently.

When the two of them passed by the imperial envoy Ding Ai, they all turned their heads to look at him, then walked out of the palace without stopping.

Is this a warning? Ding Ai thought about it, but didn't take it to heart. He turned to look at Li Tai.

The two exchanged glances, and a young eunuch came to Li Tai's side, "Your Highness, the King of Wei, His Majesty invites you."

"lead the way."

Li Tai responded and left with the eunuch.

Following the eunuch to the outside of the imperial study, Li Tai took a deep breath and walked in.

"Father."

"You did it?"

"...?"

Li Shimin's question confused Li Tai.

Li Tai said hesitantly, "Father, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Li Shimin said coldly: "Ding Ai's impeachment of the prince was not your idea?!"

Li Tai lowered his head, a little hesitant.

After thinking it over again and again, Li Tai finally spoke: "Father, I am not familiar with Lord Ding. I don't know where he got the news from, and I never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would really break his leg."

"Everything I did was out of my concern for my elder brother. I have caused such trouble. Please punish me, father."

Ha ha.

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai with a forced smile, then suddenly picked up the memorial on the table and threw it at Li Tai.

Wow.

Li Tai did not dodge and let the memorial fall on him.

"Father, calm down."

"You are so arrogant because of your favor. Do you think others can't see through you? Do you know what you are doing?!"

Li Shimin angrily shouted, "From today on, you will stay in your Prince Wei's mansion for a month and you are not allowed to leave without my permission!"

Li Tai bowed his head in silence, "Your son obeys your order."

"roll!"

Li Tai bowed and left the imperial study.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and picked up the teacup. “Rebellious sons, each and every one of you makes me worry!”
"Send someone to investigate Cheng Qian's fall from his horse."

"According to the order."

……

Duke Zhao's Mansion.

Along the way, Fang Xuanling's attitude towards Changsun Wuji was really hard to figure out.

Logically speaking, as the uncle of the prince, Changsun Wuji, who was also the Duke of Zhao, should have supported the prince in the court, but he did not say a word.

Are you going to sit back and watch the Crown Prince and the King of Wei fight each other without helping either side?

"Master Changsun, are you really going to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei?"

Faced with Fang Xuanling's question, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but sigh.

Whether it is Li Chengqian or Li Tai, they are both his nephews.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

What's more, he is a relative by marriage!

What are relatives by marriage?

Not a member of the royal family!
Now, he is in a high position among the ministers. If he interferes in the fight for the throne, it will surely make His Majesty dissatisfied and bring trouble upon himself.

"Prime Minister Fang, you and I are both his majesty's subjects."

Hear the words.

Fang Xuanling understood.

No matter how Li Chengqian and Li Tai fought, Changsun Wuji would not interfere.

This clearly shows that they want to sit on the sidelines and protect themselves!

"You're only thinking about yourself!"

Fang Xuanling could not help but snort coldly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not a bad person by nature, and you and I have watched him grow up. If it weren't for Your Majesty's preference for the King of Wei, how could he have become so unfamiliar!"

"Now that the King of Wei has repeatedly pressed the Crown Prince, he has lost his mind and threatened to abdicate in the Taiji Palace. Don't you have any responsibility?"

"The East Palace is the foundation of the country. It has been like this in every dynasty. We eat the emperor's salary and bear the emperor's worries. How can we be confused about this matter? If one day, the former Xuanwu Gate..."

Fang Xuanling suddenly stopped talking and stood up. "That's all I have to say. Goodbye!"

"Fang Xiang..."

Watching Fang Xuanling leave, Changsun Wuji sighed helplessly.

Just now.

The servant came to report, "Master, Duke Shen wants you to come to his house for a chat."
