Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 163 Are you anxious now? It’s too late!
"Bastard!"

"Too deceiving!"

"My Su family is also a famous and powerful family. How dare they humiliate my Su family like this?"

Su Tan, the Crown Princess' biological father, was extremely angry.

He learned that the Shandong nobles dared to ask their legitimate daughter to enter the Eastern Palace and honor her as the Crown Princess.

He was so angry that he was about to explode.

what is this?
This is slapping the Su family's face repeatedly and not taking them seriously at all.

It is trampling on the reputation of their Su family.

"pass!"

Su Xu's expression was as gloomy as water, which did not look very good.

He never imagined that the Shandong gentry would go so far.

No matter what the East Palace and Taiji Palace think.

But they, the Su family, felt deeply offended.

If you want to obey the status of Crown Princess, then where does that put me, Su's Crown Princess?
This is not how you save face.

Do we, the Su family, have no shame?

If they were allowed to succeed, the Su family would lose face. How could they hold their heads up among the aristocratic families from now on?

Aren't you afraid of becoming a laughing stock?

"We, the Wugong Su family, will not allow ourselves to be manipulated or humiliated by others." Su Tan said, "Brother, I want to go meet the prince."

"Qing'er was wronged in the East Palace, so we can't interfere. But if others want to humiliate Qing'er, we absolutely cannot do that."

Su Xu said: "How about I go with you?"

"Not for now. I'll go see the prince's attitude."

Su Tan said.

He received very little news.

I still don’t know what the prince is thinking at this moment.

Now we just need to find out what's going on.

"it is good!"

"If you have any news, let me know as soon as possible."

"My martial arts, the Su family, cannot be manipulated by anyone."

Su Xu was a duwei (commander-in-law of the emperor's wife), and his wife was Princess Nanchang, the tenth daughter of Emperor Gaozu.

But at the same time, he was also one of the eighteen scholars in the Qin Palace.

You can give up your life, but you cannot disgrace your reputation.

"it is good!"

……

Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace and unexpectedly saw his father-in-law, but he was not surprised.

It would be strange if he didn't come.

The Shandong nobles are threatening your daughter's status, and the Su family is despising and humiliating your martial arts, but you remain indifferent.

I'm afraid the reputation of the Su family with your martial arts will plummet.

After all, they are a family from the same place as Li Shimin.

"Your servant Su Tan comes to see the Crown Prince and respectfully asks about His Majesty's health."

"Guan!"

Li Chengqian stepped forward to help Su Tan up, and said with a smile: "Why should we be so polite when our father-in-law comes?"

"Brother Chong, go and call the Crown Princess and her son out."

"My father-in-law is here to see them."

His action showed that he was not prepared to discuss business.

Su Tan's heart sank. What did the prince's attitude mean?
Soon, Crown Princess Su Qing arrived with her legitimate son Li Jue.

"Greetings, Aye."

"Greetings, Aung!"

The big and the small saluted, and Su Tan immediately smiled, "Hey."

"Ji Lang has grown quite strong."

He touched it and hugged it lightly, and felt that it was very heavy.

It seems that the food in the East Palace is exceptionally good.

It’s a bit difficult to hold him in arms because he’s so long.

"Father-in-law should come to the East Palace more often. Look how much Erlang misses you." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Su Tan smiled but did not answer, saying, "Your Highness, after this year, my son should be five years old, right?"

"Ah."

"I plan to let him go to school next year."

Li Chengqian said: "Although there are teachers in the East Palace, studying with other children is not only helpful for academics, but also allows you to see the suffering of the people from a young age."

"Your Highness, you want Jilang to go..."

"Instead of studying in Chang'an, go outside the city."

he said casually.

He has his own ideas about Li Jue's growth and training.

Not the same as Dalang Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was the eldest son of a concubine, and Li Jue was the eldest son of the wife.

He will be his successor in the future.

How can a qualified successor, who is kept in the deep palace, know the situation of the people of the world?

"Your Highness, should you reconsider this? After all, Erlang has a different status. He and..."

Su Tan's heart was shaken and he felt a little panicked.

Doesn’t the Crown Prince advocate the system of primogeniture?

Why do you treat Erlang, your legitimate son, like this?

"Don't worry about it. I know what's going on."

Li Chengqian's tone did not allow for rejection.

Su Tan had no choice but to look at his daughter, who shook her head slightly.

Li Chengqian didn't care about all this and started chatting as if he was just an everyday person.

In the end, Su Tan couldn't hold it in any longer and asked what he wanted to say.

"Don't worry, father-in-law."

"There will only be one Crown Princess in the East Palace, there won't be a second one."

After all, he is a pure literati. He cannot get involved in politics. If he cares too much, he will get confused.

You can tell the Crown Princess about this kind of thing, and she can even cry to him.

But you said it bluntly in front of the prince, hoping to force him to give you a clear answer, right?

Is this a question, or does he think he can interfere with the prince's decision?
However, Li Chengqian didn't want to argue with his father-in-law.

It's good to have a sense of crisis.

Know to stand up and support the Crown Princess.

But this is definitely not enough.

After Su Tan got the answer he wanted, he felt greatly relieved.

Soon, his resentment and hatred towards the Shandong gentry became even deeper.

We are all members of the gentry, you are going too far.

……

Gao Shilian wanted to buy time for Changsun Wuji.

But it couldn't be delayed for long. The southern nobles in Chang'an heard the news and came to see Li Chengqian.

Although Li Chengqian met with them, he didn't say much.

but.

He actually felt from this the southern gentry's desire for the court.

The ninth day of August.

A flag-raising ceremony was held at Chengtian Gate.

However, Li Shimin did not attend and Li Chengqian just showed up.

The first flag-raising ceremony is naturally grand.

But from now on, they will not be required to appear at every ceremony.

Only the Ministry of Rites presided over it.

Wait until early September.

The nobles from Jiannan Road arrived in Chang'an first.

Li Chengqian met with them but didn't talk much. He just expressed a friendly attitude.

Wait until the head of the southern aristocratic family or their representative arrives.

Li Chengqian was ready to formally meet everyone.

But it is precisely this that causes undercurrents in Chang'an.

"What do you want from me?"

Cheng Zhijie said bluntly: "I have no intention of interfering in this matter."

"You guys didn't want it."

"The prince gave you grace because he thinks highly of you. What is the result?"

"You are so arrogant and speak so arrogantly."

"Can the prince spoil you?"

Madam Cui was speechless. If she hadn't been persuaded by the family elders, she would definitely not want to mention it to her husband.

"Husband, please think of a solution."

Cui said, "I, Cui, am willing to serve the Crown Prince in the East Palace as the legitimate daughter of the master family."

"late!"

Cheng Zhijie said unhappily, "Madam, have you ever thought that this matter is not something you can do as you wish?"

"You have offended the Crown Prince and His Majesty, and now you are trying to make up for it."

"Is this world yours or Li's?"

"Do you have the final say on taking and giving?"

After he finished speaking, he sighed, "I can't interfere, let alone get involved."

"Yuchi Jingde is still raising horses. Do you want me to raise horses too?"

He took two steps and said, "Let's talk about this behind closed doors."

"I can tell you that I am now the commander of the new army, and my career as a military commander continues."

"Otherwise, I would still be unemployed at home."

From a certain perspective, Cheng Zhijie's military career has enjoyed a second spring.

Finally I have the opportunity to lead troops again.

Could he lose this opportunity because of the affairs of the Qinghe Cui family and the aristocratic families?
It was hard to get it in the first place.

If he dared to get involved, not to mention the memorials from the censors, he would be so scared that his scalp would tingle.

Even that old dog Tang Jian can bring him down.

The Qinghe Cui family brought considerable benefits to Cheng Zhijie.

But how could it be possible for him to give up his second chance just to stand up for the nobles?

"As a woman, don't interfere in matters that are not your business."

Cheng Zhijie warned.

Cui was miserable. This was the first time her husband warned her so sternly.

At the same time, those who were related to the Five Surnames and Seven Families were basically found, and they were asked to help intercede.

Even Wei Zheng did not escape.

But he refused firmly.

To embarrass the prince is to not give face to Wei Zheng.

If you are unkind first, don't blame me for not caring about anything.

In this matter, the Longxi Group was just watching the fun, and of course, they were also secretly helping the prince.

Li Xiaogong and other descendants of the Li family were eager to see the Shandong gentry make a fool of themselves.

What did you do earlier?

You ungrateful animal.

"The prince's move hits the weak spot of the Shandong nobles."

"Everyone regrets it now."

Li Daozon drank tea and smiled very relaxedly.

Li Xiaogong sneered, "You still found my way."

"I have given up drinking, but just because your Majesty is happy, I broke again."

"I haven't settled the score with them for breaking the precepts yet."

"You came to me and worshipped the wrong god."

Li Dao Zong felt very happy. "I heard that His Majesty let you come out drunk. Did your drinking capacity decline after quitting drinking?"

Li Xiaogong glared, "Stop teasing me."

"I wouldn't dare."

Li Dao Zong sighed, "I want to know how the old fox Chang Sun and Gao Shilian came to terms with this."

"When I think about how miserable they are, I feel happy."

"Will the prince give him a chance?"

He was really curious. Li Xiaogong said, "It's hard to say. Anyway, I know that His Majesty is more straightforward than you."

"In the past, everyone in the court and the country would be proud to marry the women of the five surnames, and even dared to refuse the marriage granted by His Majesty."

"now what?"

"I'm afraid that even if you want to send a girl from the Five Surnames to the Crown Prince, you still don't have the means."

"It's your own fault."

……

"His Majesty!"

Gao Shilian and Zhangsun Wuji were waiting cautiously at this moment.

Li Shimin was writing his calligraphy with all his might.

The depression in my heart seemed to have dissipated a lot this time. I wrote as if inspired by God, and it was completed in one go.

When I gave it to you, you were all very aloof, claiming that you were from a noble family. You looked down on important officials in the court and ordered me around.

Are you worried now?

late!

"I don't care about this."

"Don't come looking for me."

Li Shimin said without even looking up: "I didn't care. I was being gracious enough."

Zhangsun Wuji and Gao Shilian felt bitter. His Majesty's attitude seemed to be that he didn't care, but in fact he was supporting the prince.

"What the hell is going on here?"

We both have to suffer.
