Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 6: The Eastern Palace is Unleashed
"There is no need to lower the standard of the King of Wei. The King of Wei is large and has difficulty walking. Moreover, he has made great contributions to the country. The compilation of the Comprehensive Geography can be passed down for thousands of years. This reward is not excessive."

Li Shimin waved his hand. When talking about Li Tai, he felt inexplicably happy.

"Your Majesty, why are you so unwilling to listen to advice? Do you mean that after Wei Zheng left, you won't listen to anyone? And Wei Zheng also said that the King of Wei should not live in the Wude Hall, but Your Majesty didn't listen. Now, there is a fight for the throne, right?"

Changsun Wuji said in a sad voice that when Li Shimin wanted to let the King of Wei live in the Wude Hall, they were all against it.

Now that Li Chengqian's case of rebellion has emerged, it is, after all, all Li Shimin's fault. This time, the King of Han and Hou Junji are taking the blame.

What about next time? Then we'll pick one or two more from the three of them. Who can bear that?

Because of Li Shimin's previous attitude, these people had illusions and they all took sides.

For example, Changsun Wuji preferred his younger nephew Li Zhi, while Fang Xuanling preferred Li Tai.

But now, you say that the prince was wronged and that we can’t go on like this, otherwise it’s all over.

"Your Majesty, the prince has done nothing wrong. And from what I just heard from his poem, the prince has already repented for his past actions. And the words he used in his poem are second to none. He is a great poet and his literary talent is outstanding."

Chu Suiliang also bowed and praised, saying that the prince did have his shining points. A country, no matter how powerful it is, cannot withstand such turmoil.

"Your Majesty is at fault for not listening to my advice. Wei Zheng is dead, so I will be the next Wei Zheng. Your Majesty was the instigator of the Crown Prince's rebellion."

Chu Suiliang's body trembled slightly. As a counselor, he did the job of Wei Zheng. However, it was the first time that he experienced Wei Zheng's feeling, as if all his nine clans were in his mouth.

If Li Chengqian really rebelled, it was because of Li Shimin who forced him to do so.

If it was a frame-up by Prince of Wei Li Tai, it was Li Shimin who gave him hope.

"Is this really my fault? Did I harm them?"

Li Shimin was struck by lightning and blamed himself extremely. Although he had become a little stupid now, he could still judge right from wrong.

"Can't Chengqian and Taier coexist?"

Li Shimin's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his right hand and kept flipping it.

This scene seems familiar. Li Tai is now capable and prestigious, isn't he just like himself back then?

Li Chengqian was a precocious man with a good reputation. For more than a decade, he handled government affairs properly without any mistakes. Apart from the fact that his feet were criticized, he still had a reputation for being a virtuous man. However, in the past two years, his temperament changed drastically, making Li Shimin become indecisive.

"This..." Changsun Wuji hesitated to speak.

"Your Majesty, can you see that there are two suns in the sky?" Chu Suiliang asked immediately. He was a minister of remonstration and dared to say many things.

"Then we can only depose the King of Wei?" Li Shimin found it very difficult to make a decision.

"Your Majesty, please make a wise decision!" the three said in unison.

"Let me be quiet for a while!" Li Shimin waved his hand. He originally wanted them to give him advice, but he didn't expect that they would cause trouble.

"Father, I now finally understand how difficult it was for you back then."

Inside the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin looked up at the ceiling and shouted loudly.

The fight between them was so fierce that in the end, they had to resort to military rebellion.

If Li Yuan had made up his mind earlier, the tragedy could have been avoided. Now Li Shimin is also facing this decision.

A decision must be made as soon as possible.

Li Chengqian returned to the Eastern Palace, and he was not allowed to be free until the imperial edict was issued.

However, when he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, it was completely different. He could see human figures from afar.

Has the ban been lifted?

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" In front of the East Palace gate, three old men bowed respectfully.

But when Li Chengqian saw these three people, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

These three people are Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu and Kong Yingda.

Li Chengqian was still influenced by the original owner imperceptibly.

Originally these three people were also implicated, but now that Li Chengqian was found not guilty, they were also released.

These three people are more cruel than each other. Ding Ningzhi refused to build a house, Zhang Xuansu did not allow people to swear, and what's even worse is that when the original owner wanted to take a concubine, Kong Yingda also interfered.

Li Chengqian could tolerate other things, but he went too far with Kong Yingda, forcing him to travel through time and space, and only had a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

Otherwise, Cao Cao would be envious to death.

"No need to be so polite!" Li Chengqian forced a smile on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the three people up.

Has the prince changed his personality?
I never had a good face towards the three of them before.

"Three teachers, please come in. It's windy now. Don't get yourself hurt by the wind."

Li Chengqian demonstrated respect for teachers to the fullest.

The king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

These three little devils tell tales from time to time. It would be strange if Li Shimin had a good impression of Li Chengqian.

They bear the title of ministers of remonstration, the military generals fight to the death, the civil officials remonstrate to the death, and they all insist on doing what they want.

In fact, it is all for their reputation, being upright, daring to challenge power, and not fearing life and death.

There is a small mistake. It is all due to their increased fame, and this trend seems to have been distorted by Wei Zheng.

Now that I have finally passed Li Shimin's level, I can't be killed by these three people.

In the Li family, there is a curse, that is, the eldest son has the most difficult time to succeed to the throne.

The Tang Dynasty had dozens of emperors, but only a few were born as eldest sons, less than one in ten. They were famous for their brotherly love and respect for each other.

"Your Highness, it's almost time for class."

Zhang Xuansu said that he was mainly responsible for literary education.

I have studied for more than ten years, and I still need to study? Li Chengqian was overwhelmed.

"The Eastern Palace has suffered such a great disaster. I want to go to Chongwen Hall first."

In the 13th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin specially authorized the Eastern Palace to open Chongwenguan, a school specially set up for Crown Prince Li Chengqian, where scholars could be recruited.

In the 15th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin issued another order that all children of the third rank and above in the court should serve in the Eastern Palace or accompany their children to study, in order to build a team for the crown prince.

In fact, Li Shimin did not treat Li Chengqian well in the first two years, but after Wei Wang Li Tai compiled "Guodi Zhi", Li Shimin became more fond of Li Tai.

"That's good. The Eastern Palace has suffered a major change. The Crown Prince should indeed come forward to calm people's hearts."

Zhang Xuansu also nodded.

The three of them were not that bad. On the contrary, they were too upright and would not tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes. However, they forgot that they were famous for their uprightness. Who could demand the world to meet their standards?

They have no demands, and they also want Li Chengqian to have no desires. They are just a bunch of nerds.
