Datang: Just been appointed as the crown prince, the counterattack system is here

Chapter 75: Zhang Sun Wuji was angry, and Empress Zhang Sun knelt down! [Seeking monthly votes]

It was originally following the normal historical trajectory.

It was not until the second year of Zhenguan that Li Tai was renamed King of Yue by Li Shimin.

But now, he has brought forward the time for the change of the seal.

Although Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling did not know the history, they still felt that what Li Shimin did was inappropriate.

then
"His Majesty!"

Zhang Sun Wuji was the first to speak out: "I think it's not appropriate to rush into changing the title of King Wei to King Yue. After all, King Wei is still young. If he goes to Yuezhou, I'm afraid..."

"Who said I'm going to let Qingque go to Yuezhou?"

Before Zhangsun Wuji could finish his words, Li Shimin interrupted him with a smile: "I only want him to take the post of governor of Yuezhou, and I don't plan to let him go to Yuezhou!"

"This"

Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but look surprised.

Fang Xuanling, who was standing next to him, also looked at a loss.

But then Li Shimin smiled and said:
"Qingque is still young, and he is currently compiling the catalogue for the Zhenguan Encyclopedia, so he cannot leave. Therefore, I intend to let him stay in Chang'an and enjoy the treatment and rewards of the King of Yue."

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji and the other two understood instantly.

This is revenge!
His Majesty Li II is taking revenge on Crown Prince Li Chengqian!

He was so angry that Li Yuan appointed a crown prince that he drove the crown prince to Jiangling!
After he found out that he had been tricked by the prince, he took the opportunity to deprive the prince of the right to select officials that he had gained by giving up the Eastern Palace!
Now, they are both sons, but they are receiving different titles. If this isn't revenge, what is it?!

As Li Chengqian's top supporter, Zhangsun Wuji was furious when he realized what was happening: "Your Majesty is showing favoritism. I don't support this!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! The King of Yue received the title but did not go to his fiefdom, but the Crown Prince received the title but went to his fiefdom. How do you want the people of the world to view the Crown Prince?" Fang Xuanling echoed.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? Don't you think I'm no longer qualified to be promoted to a prince?"

"This"

Changsun Wuji and the other two were speechless.

Because this sentence was filled with resentment, they didn't know how to respond.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

Li Shimin frowned, then glanced at Zhangsun Wuji and the other man and said, "Let her in!"

"promise!"

There was a response from outside the door.

Soon, Empress Changsun walked in from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the crisis in the city has been resolved. Aunt Meng and the others wish to return home. I have come to ask for your permission!"

As soon as Empress Changsun entered the room, she smiled and stated her purpose.

However, after she finished speaking, she did not receive a response from Li Shimin, which made her slightly stunned: "Your Majesty, is it because I came at a bad time?"

"No! You came just in time!"

Li Shimin angrily said, "I want to change Qingque's title to King of Yue, but your brother disagrees! He even accuses me of favoritism!"

Empress Changsun blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Changsun Wuji with a puzzled expression.

But then Changsun Wuji angrily said, "Then why didn't your Majesty tell you that you left Qingque in Chang'an and sent Chengqian to Jiangling?"

"Did I ask him to go? He chose to go!"

"You forced me to do that!"

"Wuji!"

Hearing Zhangsun Wuji's angry words, Empress Zhangsun hurriedly stopped him.

In fact, it is no wonder that Changsun Wuji was so excited. The main reason was that Li Chengqian was in Chang'an and he could do a lot of things.

Now that Li Chengqian has gone to Jiangling, he can only continue to do odd jobs for Emperor Li II. He may become a victim of Emperor Li II's politics at any time.

Although this kind of sacrifice would not be fatal, it made him feel extremely depressed.

It was not as straightforward as when Li Chengqian was giving him advice behind the scenes.

You know, Li Chengqian tried every possible way to make him the Right Prime Minister.

Why should this little fat guy reap the benefits of others?
He didn't even call me uncle!
"Okay, okay, you actually said that I forced him! Don't you know that he and my father..."

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was so angry at Zhangsun Wuji that he almost revealed that Li Chengqian and Li Yuan were colluding with the rebels, Fang Xuanling quickly stopped him and said, "I have no objection to the matter of changing the title to King of Yue, but Your Majesty, could you postpone it for a while, at least until this period of time has passed?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

At this time, Empress Zhangsun walked up to Fang Xuanling and said with a smile, "Minister of the Central Secretariat, may I have a chat with His Majesty?"

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the Queen."

Having said that, he glanced at Changsun Wuji, then reluctantly left the Liangyi Hall.

When only the Changsun siblings and Li Shimin were left in the Liangyi Hall, Empress Changsun looked at Changsun Wuji with a stern face and said, "Wuji, why don't you apologize to His Majesty?"

"Sister, I."

Zhangsun Wuji opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but Empress Zhangsun knelt down before His Majesty Li Er and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I, your concubine, apologize to you on behalf of my brother!"

"Guanyin maid!"

"younger sister!"

Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin were both shocked by Empress Changsun's actions. One of them quickly knelt on the ground, and the other quickly reached out to support her.

But when Empress Zhangsun raised her head, her eyes were already filled with tears: "Your Majesty, I only have two sons. Now, Chengqian has been involved in trouble, and I don't want Qingque to be involved too." "Guanyin maid"

"Your Majesty, I don't know how Cheng Qian is involved with the Emperor, but if Your Majesty changes Qing Que's title at this time, it will be tantamount to pushing Qing Que into opposition with Cheng Qian, causing a rift between the brothers. Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"

Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin felt depressed.

He had no intention of getting Li Tai into trouble, nor did he intend to create a rift between Li Chengqian and Li Tai's brothers. He simply wanted to use the matter of changing Li Tai's title to regain some ground.

You, Li Yuan, can appoint a crown prince and give him wealth, power, and status. I, Li Shimin, can do the same, and give him even more than you.

But Empress Changsun had already said so much. If he insisted on changing Li Tai's title, there would be no hope of harmony between the couple in the future.

After a brief silence, Li Shimin finally sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I promise you, I won't change the title of Qingque for now. We'll talk about it after this period of time!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Empress Changsun kowtowed again.

Li Shimin shook his head speechlessly.

At this time, Zhangsun Wuji asked again: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Concubine Zhang and the others?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and said solemnly: "As a concubine in the harem, if you are not obedient and are plotting rebellion, you will naturally be punished according to the law of the country!"

"Their children."

"His Majesty!"

Before Li Shimin could make a decision, Empress Zhangsun quickly spoke again: "I believe that all the evil lies with only two culprits. Since Your Majesty has decided to punish them according to national law, you must not continue the killing. This will not bring peace of mind."

"What's more, they are the emperor's concubines. If they get angry because of the children and involve the emperor, it will cause trouble again!"

"This"

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Changsun Wuji.

Zhang Sun Wuji hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Sister, you are right about this matter!"

"In that case, let's just deal with Concubine Zhang and the other two."

Li Shimin accepted the advice of Empress Changsun's brother and sister, but he still had some concerns: "What should be done with their children?"

Empress Changsun thought for a moment and said, "How about this matter be handed over to me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin looked hesitant.

He actually understood that if he implicated the retired emperor Li Yuan, he would also implicate the crown prince Li Chengqian, and then everyone who was there that night.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he finally agreed to Empress Changsun.

On the other side, Da'an Palace.

Li Yuan had taken away everything he could take away, and destroyed everything he could not take away.

Although the two concubines, Zhang Jieyi, confessed their crimes in Taiji Hall, Li Shimin did not deal with them immediately, but let them return to Da'an Palace.

But the Da'an Palace is now completely different and there is no place left to stay.

At this time, Concubine Zhang, the second concubine, stood in the inner hall with disheveled hair and untidy clothes, looking at the inner hall that was once a place of singing and dancing, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.

They never imagined that one day they would end up like this.

At this moment, a cold wind blew in from outside, making them shiver.

But I heard Concubine Yin De beside me complaining sadly: "How could the emperor be so cruel?! He actually abandoned us like this!"

Concubine Zhang sneered, "How can an emperor not be cruel?!"

"But has he forgotten how we served him? We even bore him two sons!"

When Concubine Zhang heard the word "son", she instantly realized that she had not seen her son for the last time, and quickly turned around and rushed out of the hall.

However, just as she rushed to the door and was about to step over the threshold, several imperial guards blocked her way: "Grand Concubine, stop! You cannot leave here without the order of His Majesty!"

"How dare you! I'm the consort of the retired emperor. His Majesty has to call me aunt, and you dare to stop me?! Get out of here!"

Having said that, Concubine Zhang prepared to force her way out of the door.

But at this moment, the sound of several swords being drawn out of their sheaths suddenly rang out, scaring Concubine Zhang so much that she took several steps back.

"Sister, don't be impulsive!"

Upon seeing this, Concubine Yin De hurried forward to support Concubine Zhang and advised, "They are only following orders. Erlang is also very cruel!"

"But what about our children?"

As she spoke, Concubine Zhang couldn't help but shed tears.

She originally thought that if she followed Li Yuan's arrangement and confessed her guilt, Li Yuan would save her child. However, she did not expect that Li Yuan was so cruel that he actually ran away.

Now, they have fallen into Li Shimin's hands and are sure to die. Will their children also be implicated by them?

If that was the case, why did they follow Li Yuan's arrangements?

At worst, both sides will be destroyed, and Li Yuan and Li Chengqian will also be dragged into this trouble!
Anyway, if they don't admit it, everyone will suspect Li Yuan.

After all, Liu Deyu and Yuan Hongshan are both Li Yuan's men.

As for Li Chengqian, he was so close to Li Yuan, so even if he got himself implicated, he deserved it!

"I want to retract my confession! I want to see His Majesty!"

Concubine Zhang pushed Concubine Yin De away and rushed towards the imperial guards like a madman: "I want to inform your majesty! The emperor and the crown prince are colluding!"

"The Queen has arrived—!"

Before Concubine Zhang could finish her words, a voice came from outside the door that made her tremble all over.

　Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket. If you give me 1000 tickets, I will give you more.
