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

Chapter 7 Retreating to Advance
Prince Wei's Mansion.

Upon learning the news that Li Tai had returned home, Su Xu came to greet him immediately, but saw that Li Tai had a blank expression on his face.

"Your Highness the Prince of Wei..."

This……

Su Xu was confused.

Today in the court, the King of Wei should have been in high spirits, so why did he look like this?

Could something have gone wrong during the morning court session?

Su Xu hurriedly followed, calling on the servants and serving tea.

Bang!
The tea that the servant had just brought was thrown heavily to the ground by Li Tai.

"Your Majesty, calm down..."

"You go down first."

Su Xu waved his hand, and after the people left, he asked, "Your Highness, what happened? But what unexpected happened in the court today?"

Li Tai's face turned pale: "The prince roared in Taiji Palace and wanted to abdicate and move out of the East Palace."

"???"

Su Xu was dumbfounded.

Is this something the prince can do?
and many more.

Su Xu frowned and asked, "How could it turn out like this?"

Li Tai: "Envoy Ding impeached the crown prince, and my father ordered me to go to the East Palace to verify it. I took people to find him, but who would have thought that he would enter the palace without a healthy leg..."

Li Tai simply recounted what had happened before.

There aren't many twists and turns in the story, but rather a reasonable emotional catharsis, yet it also feels too reckless.

Could it be that the prince’s personality changed drastically after he injured his legs?

but.

Isn't this a strategy of retreating to advance?

No matter what, Su Xu knew that their goal this time had failed.

"Your Highness, I always feel like something is wrong."

"where?"

Li Tai looked over.

Su Xu sorted out his thoughts and spoke slowly, "The Crown Prince injured his legs and feet, and ordered Yu Zhining to deceive Your Majesty. He didn't want to attend the morning court today."

"However, when he saw His Highness personally bringing the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau with him, he took the initiative to ask to attend the court and roared at the Taiji Palace. This is not like the style of the prince."

Li Tai thought about it and said, "Perhaps it was because we kept forcing him that he went berserk?"

Su Xu: “…It’s not impossible.”

Li Tai waved his hand and leaned back. "Don't think about it. It has already happened. I have been ordered by my father to be confined for a month. Obviously, my father has not yet decided to depose the crown prince."

"Go down, I need to rest."

……

Not far from the West Market, there is a house with three entrances and three exits.

Su Chen brought Wang Chong, holding the candy figurine with a smile on his face, and followed the dealer to check.

"Look at this house, sir. It's right next to the West Market. If you need to buy something, you can get to the West Market in less than an incense stick of time."

"If you want to drink, turn right ahead and you will reach Pingkangfang. There are all kinds of courtesans who are charming. It is also not far from the East Market. The location is excellent. It only costs 30 guan. You will make a profit if you buy it!"

"Yeah, not bad."

Su Chen nodded, "Xiao Wang, give me the money."

Wang Chong: “???”

Do you really think of me as a money bag?
Ever since Li Chengqian was carried to the palace, Su Chen came to Chang'an City, saying that he wanted to take a look at the scenery of Chang'an City.

In this regard.

Wang Chong naturally didn't believe it.

This guy clearly wants to run away!
With Li Chengqian's order in place, how could Wang Chong possibly let Su Chen get his wish?
then.

Wang Chong had been following behind Su Chen, following him closely, to the point that they both became Su Chen's money bags!

"No money!"

"I am your master's savior. How much is thirty strings of cash?"

More is not more.

But the problem is, Wang Chong spread his hands and said, "I really don't have that much money!"

"Why would you go out without money?"

"..."

Wang Chong placed his palm on the hilt of the knife.

It's like I killed this bastard with one knife!

"that whoever……"

Su Chen turned his gaze to the candy maker and handed over the half-bitten candy figure in his hand, "Want some?" The candy maker: "..."

Su Chen pointed at Wang Chong and asked, "Do you know who he is?"

The broker looked at Wang Chong blankly and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Su Chen patted the guarantor's shoulder and said, "He is Wang Chong, the guard of the Eastern Palace. I want this house. You can go to the Eastern Palace with him to collect the thirty strings of cash."

"???"

The broker's face instantly fell, and he was about to cry, "This can't be done, sir..."

People from the East Palace!

He is selling houses, not his life!
If he goes to the East Palace to get the silver, even if the prince gives it to him, will he dare to take it?
"Su Chen, you..."

"has a problem?"

Su Chen looked over and saw Wang Chong glaring at him hatefully.

This is clearly a case of the fox taking advantage of the tiger's might!

Is this how you use the name of the Eastern Palace?
"Don't worry, I'm not short of money."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "The prince is not a man who eats people without leaving any bones, what are you afraid of?"

"It's settled, unless you don't want this house anymore."

The dentist: “…”

At this time.

A tall and strong guard came running over in a hurry, "Master Su, my master is hosting a banquet at Mingfang Tower, please come over."

"Well, I gave you the money."

"...?"

Mingfang Building.

A restaurant in Xishi.

The entrance is very large, and all the diners who come and go are well-dressed.

Su Chen followed the guards and came to the private room where Li Chengqian was.

"His name is Su Chen, he is the one who broke my leg. This is Yu Zhining from my house. Please take a seat."

"..."

Su Chen was speechless.

Yu Zhining stared at Su Chen with cold eyes, as if he wanted to kill him.

"Today in the court, it is just as Brother Su said."

Li Chengqian leaned back against the cushion and said calmly, "After overturning the table, my father ignored the fact that I rode my horse too fast and broke my leg."

"After I returned to the East Palace, I arranged for some imperial doctors to send me a lot of nourishing foods."

Su Chen smiled, but saw Yu Zhining frowning and said, "Your Highness, was this the man who bewitched you to roar at Taiji Palace and give up the throne to a virtuous man?"

Li Chengqian nodded.

Yu Zhining said angrily: "Who are you to be so presumptuous?"

Su Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him, "Then let's proceed to the next plan."

Yu Zhining: “???”

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, "Okay, Master Yu."

"The minister is here."

"Spread the news, I am planning to move out of the East Palace!"

"..."

numb.

What exactly do you want to do?
Yu Zhining took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty no longer cares about this matter, why do you have to do this?"

Li Chengqian: "If I hadn't retreated to advance and made things worse, would he have done this?"

Given His Majesty's temper, he will surely be scolded.

Yu Zhining whispered in his heart.

"Since we are going to do it, let's do it thoroughly and let them see my determination."

"Your Highness, are you really going to move out of the East Palace?"

"Moving out of the East Palace is just to better stay in the East Palace."

Yu Zhining was not a stupid man. After hearing Su Chen's words, he thought about it carefully and understood what Su Chen meant.

Moving out of the East Palace at this moment may seem like a reckless move, but in fact it is a proactive attack on Li Tai!
Once the news is released, not only will the court be shocked, but the people will also be talking about it.

Prince Li Tai of Wei coveted the throne of the Eastern Palace and forced Crown Prince Li Chengqian to abdicate!
This kind of public opinion is enough to make the King of Wei lose the support of the people!

Looking around the court, which minister wants to witness the Xuanwu Gate Incident again with his own eyes?
Retreating in order to advance, retreating again and again, put the King of Wei in the center of the storm.

Enough!
